Chapter Text

ChosenOne: we landed outside the forset, with me rearanging my team since im for now going to have only 7 with for now

ChosenOne: and right now we've been walking through the foggy forest for a while now towards new bark town for me to register for the league right away tomorrow at the start of the new johto league season, only i think we might be lost

DragonMaster: what makes you say that?

ChosenOne: we just passed a familiar tree branch

SquintyEyes: and now both girls are arguing with misty scolding ash about getting them lost, so now i have to break up the fight

LivingLegend: not surprising those 2 would be fighting

GroundQueen: hows your flight been legend?

LivingLegend: its been boring but thanks to being galar champion, i got to sit in first class, so that's nice, otherwise, besides beeing on the chat, ill probably get some sleep on the plane, since it'll be a long flight back to galar

ChosenOne: it looks like togepi & triton just sensed something, as togepi hoped out of misty's arms with triton floating after him, with us following after them

MovieStar: i wonder what those 2 sensed

SteelRocks: same here

ChosenOne: uh guys, your not gonna belive it, but pokemonindistance.jpeg

DragonMaster: THAT'S SUICUNE YOU THREE JUST SAW!?

OldTimer: only a few hours in johto and already you just saw your first johto legendary

LivingLegend: that must be a record or something

GroundQueen: imagine meeting a legendary later into traveling in a new region

OldTimer: or not even 10 minutes into being in a new region and meeting one of the legendaries, that'd be something

ChosenOne: when i scanned suicune with my pokedex, as soon as it saw us from where it was standing and heard my pokedex, it ran off

ChosenOne: i know i shouldn't, but im gonna chase after ittttttttttttttttttttttt

DragonMaster: CHOSEN!?

WaterGirl: and ash just fell off a steep edge with greninja going after her, along with togepi & triton, with me and brock going down the steep edge

MovieStar: just be careful as you climb down

ChosenOne: FINALLY!

ChosenOne: we made it to new bark town and now were on our way to the pokemon center

DragonMaster: did you get hurt when you accidently fell?

ChosenOne: just minor bruises here and there, otherwise, we're all fine

DragonMaster: thats good to hear

WaterGirl: we're at thee pokemon center now, but apparently nurse joy isn't here as we were met by her chansey at the front desk, who pressed a button where a screen came up, with a recording of nurse joy saying she's at professor elm's lab and will be back as 2:00 pm, only its 3:30 pm now

DragonMaster: im surprised she's not back, unless she was busy treating pokemon and loss track of time

ChosenOne: alright, and while me and misty are willing to wait for joy to be back, brock on the otherhand, not so much, with him demanding we go find her now, as he's convinced she's in danger

OldTimer: or she got held up at the lab and was checking up on all the pokemon

DragonMaster: best you 3 head to the lab now, as i know she did had to head over there to check on one of the starter's, but apparently something just happened not that long ago today

ChosenOne: what happened dad? as we can start heading to the lab

DragonMaster: i just got a report from professor elm and officer jenny about one of the starters, a totodile was stolen by some poeple, with one, a woman pretending to be nurse joy

MovieStar: sounds like the trio, as i can see those three doing that

GroundQueen: how did that even happen?

DragonMaster: according to the report, elm was too wrapped up in his work, when most likely the trio showed up in his lab by accident probably, with him thinking it was nurse joy to check on totodile, with the trio leaving with totodile, with jenny even saying in her report how elm is being scolded by joy for being so careless

SteelRocks: good, since he needed to be scolded for that

ChosenOne: we got to the lab now and no surprise, brock saw officer jenny and tried to flirt with her by handing her flowers from where ever he gets them from, with misty pulling him away by his collar

LivingLegend: at least misty's keeping brock in line

ChosenOne: i can do that too

ChosenOne: we did see other police there besides jenny, no doubt searching for the missing totodile

GroundQueen: of course, and most likely the trio

ChosenOne: then when we got into the lab after chasing after brock, that was when we saw joy scolding elm, with brock flirting with joy again, only for misty to yell at him, then when i was about to ask what all happened, jenny yelled at us for being in an official police investigation

MovieStar: that was all on brock this time as you and misty only ran in after him

WaterGirl: that right, and luckily me and brock do have our gym leader id's with, as that helped us out on knowing we're kanto gym leaders

ChosenOne: elm was even happy to see me and misty again on better terms this time vs last time as he got to meet brock, that was when we were informed of the stolen pokemon being a totodile that was supposed to be picked up by a female starting trainer that requested him later tomorrow

SteelRocks: that sucks for that trainer then on not getting her starter

ChosenOne: he did still have cyndaquil with as its trainer was also arriving tomorrow, and also a picture of chikorita and how its trainer picked it up yesterday, and then a picture of totodile, which we already seen one, that rescued one that is

ChosenOne: i then brought up how back home in kanto, our starters are charmander, bulbasaur, and squirtle, only my starter is the kalos start froakie, which kakashi, who was standing behind us let it known with a craok

ChosenOne: then when i mentioned the starters, elm firgured im from pallet town, meaning i also knew oak, with elm then ranting to brock about his time as one of oak's top students a some university oak i guess taught at, while me and misty played with cyndaquil after nurse joy took it from elm to check it over as brock was listening in on elm

DragonMaster: mention oak and elm goes nuts about him, but if only he knew what the coot can truely be like, then he'd start changing his tune

WaterGirl: its 100% the trio that took totodile, since one of the officers made a plaster mold of footprints that were found, we knew belonged to the trio, with jenny's growlith sniffing the mod to track the trio & totodile

DragonMaster: of course it was those 3

ChosenOne: once brock was back by us and saw that plaster mold, he & i also letted our lycanrocs out to help growlith find the trio & totodile, so we'll chat when their found amd delt with as all three canines are now running after the scent

ChosenOne: FOUND THEM!

LivingLegend: detials on how you all found the trio & totodile

ChosenOne: we found them at a local park, and after the trio did their motto, and when we demanded totodile back, james commented how they can't cause it wouldn't let go of jessie's hair, no matter how much yanking and pulling there was to get totodile to let go, it wouldn't let go

MovieStar: that is actually quite funny

SquintyEyes: of course the trio showed they could care less about the totodile going to a new trainer after ash scolded them, with the trio making a run for it, until i letted bulbasaur out and had him use vine whip to trip the trio, & while james had weezing use smokescreen, ash letted vulcan out who blew the smog away

WaterGirl: when that happened, bulbasaur used his vine to yank as hard as he could to pull totodile off of jessie's hair, with totodile landing in ash's arms

GroundQueen: good catch for chosen

WaterGirl: when growlith went to deal with the trio, weezing used sludge bomb on growlith to blind it

LivingLegend: booo!

ChosenOne: after that, james called on victreebel who lactched onto his head, as jessie called on lickitung, while i had greninja out & use water pulse on lickitung, followed by jessie sending out arbok, then the trio had all 4 of their pokemon sent out to attack

SteelRocks: what happened after that?

ChosenOne: when all the trio's pokemon attempting a group attack, all three of us used our own group attack, vulcan's flamethrower, greninja's icy wind, bulbasaur's razor leaf, & loki's water gun as a combined attack that sent the trio flying, with totodile helping with his own water gun to help blast the trio away

DragonMaster: thats good to hear, & a report will be needed for this

ChosenOne: of course a report is needed

WaterGirl: even with jenny not happy there was no arrest being made cause the trio was blasted off, she is glad totodile is safe and sound, with brock flirting how she can take him into custody, until i dragged him away again

MovieStar: that sounds like you'll be doing a lot of that misty, and you too ash

ChosenOne: after stopping back at elm's lab breifly after leaving the park, we got back to the pokemon center with elm, & after we called oak on one of the video phones to let him know we made it to elm's lab and both me and misty still needing to register for the league, but will do so, which me and misty are now registered

ChosenOne: then when i mention meeting one of his former students, elm got infront of the video screen with totodile and began talking to his former mentor, and boy was elm so engrossed in talking to oak

GroundQueen: sounds like those two could talk for hours

WaterGirl: it did, with totodile walking over to nurse joy, where she registered me and ash for the johto league a day early, as it was fine for ash to register a day early due to her already doing a league, but since this is my first league, i have to register tomorrow like all starting trainers for their first league, with us sharing a johto league guide book, but keep a second as a spare, with brock holding on to it

DragonMaster: i forgot about that part

ChosenOne: at least we can rent a room for the night, then in the morning, & after misty gets registered for her first league, and after breakfast, we can then head out to our first gym in violet city

ChosenOne: and when looking at my new johto pokedex, and also for misty and brock's, appaerntly some extra features were added, including a section for all the scanned pokemon for johto added that's seperate from the kanto group, with a tag section to show the list of all the pokemon scanned in kanto and a tag just for johto

ChosenOne: only misty's kanto section is smaller due to having to scan less pokemon than us, as she even got mom's 3 pokemon and dad's pokemon scanned in, and the one's professor oak had at the lab from other trainers

ChosenOne: and bonus, both the suicune i scanned in and cyndaquil are now the start of my johto scan list

LivingLegend: even brock got a new pokedex

OldTimer: and good luck to both you girls on your gym challange and the league

ChosenOne & WaterGirl: thanks timer

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: so its now august 1st and we left new bark town about half an hour ago, with misty now registered for the gym challange & league, when not that long ago, we stumbled upon a girl with a yellow jacket on training her chikorita, who was wearing a yellow and black headband and i also scanning in, with chikorita batting a wild rattata that she defeated with tackle, and also caught

ChosenOne: and im pretty sure this girl is the new trainer that picked chikorita from the lab

LivingLegend: how can you tell?

ChosenOne: that chikorita is very young and elm mentioned the new trainer was a girl who loved baseball, since she is dressed as a baseball fan & did a catch pose like this one baseball team called the electabuzz's, as she even sang and marcheed their theme song

ChosenOne: and you glad to be back home lee?

LivingLegend: while i did enjoy being in kanto & the orange islands, i will admit, it is nice to be back home in galar, but not so thrilling to get to work on my paperwork, but luckily my gym leaders helped with that so it wasn't pilled up so high and the certain ones were set aside for me to do

DragonMaster: paperwork is never fun when it builds up when not doing it for a while

GroundQueen: what did you 3 notice about that trainer?  other than being a baseball fan

ChosenOne: well, after she saw us after she caught rattata, she was not happy, until she saw kovu, who was out and walking with us and when we thought she was going to attack us, she stopped in front of kovu, all happy to see him, and while she was dissapointed he wasn't black and yellow, he's still electric type like electabuzz is

ChosenOne: then she started saying what she liked and loved about kovu, and even hugged him, then when i warned her on kovu electricuting her if he starts feeeling threatneed, she proceeded to WANT kovu to shock her

MoiveStar: now that is something

ChosenOne: kovu did electrcute her, but only by giving her a small shock cause she really insisted on it

OldTimer: that is something since most people don't ask to get shocked by an electric type

DragonMaster: ill make sure its aware for trainers not to demand other trainers to harm them, in that case, with electric types

ChosenOne: after that, which she realized was a bad idea to get electricuted, she introduced herself as casey, a huge baseball fan, and that she is indeed a rookie trainer, so she's 10, & she's doing the gym challange & the league, with us introducing ourselves

ChosenOne: apparenrtly she has a love for yellow & black pokemon, just like the electabuzz baseball team who are the colors yellow & black stripes, well yellow and black pokemon in general, with her wanting an electabuzz

GroundQueen: i wonder if she knows about electivire

ChosenOne: she doesn't as i mentioned electivre, and when i revealed im not a baseball fan, since i don't know much about the team, or any other of the baseball teams, and the sport in general, which casey complained when i said im not a fan of baseball and all i knew about the team was them always finishing in last place

GroundQueen: don't worry hun, im not a baseball fan either

MovieStar: same for me

DragonMaster: im also not a fan of baseball

SteelRocks: same here

LivingLegend: im not either, even though my champion outfit makes me look like one

OldTimer: im only a fan of the cubchoos, a baseball team here in unova when they play well during baseball season, otherwise im not much of a sport fan

WaterGirl: im not a fan either, with brock looking to be the only baseball fan, like with the magkiarp and the starmie teams

ChosenOne: good to know im not the only one who doesn't like baseball

ChosenOne: as for casey, since she didn't like the fact im not a baseball fan and how little i knew about the sport in general, in her anger she challanged me to a 3vs3 battle cause she wanted to get back at me for my dislike of baseball

SteelRocks: typical rookie arrogance where they think their the strongest trainers there is, until they go against someone stronger, usually a gym leader or a vetran trainer and lose, giving them that reality check, and sport fans do get crazy with their love of sports

LivingLegend: doesn't she realize your a vetran trainer?

ChosenOne: i told i was, but she didn't care, she wanted to beat me, plus she also insulted me and my lack of skills of baseball and called me a wimp even

OldTimer: now that was just rude of her

ChosenOne: since we're going to battle now, as we're typing while getting to at least a clearing, with misty and brock taking over, since this was a recap being typed up

WaterGirl: to start, she let out her pidgy first, while ash letted ella out to battle, as even brock and i can tell she's the best one to go against a rookie trainer, but casey did think she was an albino kanto vulpix and claimed how ella's fire attacks were no match for her pokemon and had pidgey start with quick attack

MovieStar: again, in a battle like this, its best to use a younger pokemon, as say vulcan would be an overkill, but at the same time, that rudeness of her's if she insulted a different trainer would of gone overboard, just to get back at her for insulting them

SquintyEyes: after casey called for pidgy use quick attack on ella, the battle ended very fast when ash called for ella to fire, to casey's surprise, icy wind, freezing pidgey, but not solid as pidgey was knockked out cold

WaterGirl: and now casey is getting over her shock on seeing ella is an ice type and not a fire type, with her recalling pidgey and is now sending out her still injured and newly caught rattata & called for rattata use tackle on ella, with her using freeze-dry, an attack shes still learning but still, it did enough damage to rattata to also take it out, but not freezing it solid, which im surprised she even knows freeze dry

LivingLegend: she must of seen mr rime use it and asked him to show her how to use it

SteelRocks: even though its clearly a one sided battle on ash's end, it still shows how well ella is trained and is still getting stronger, and casey should think twice on going against experienced trainers

ChosenOne: she sure is

SquintyEyes: as for casey, she wasn't happy at how fast she was losing now, since she apparently thought despite ash saying she's a vetran trainer, she wasnt all that good of one & was convinced she had the upperhand agaisnt ash, with kovu seen as just a mode of transportation and a body guard from her parents

WaterGirl: im surprised she didn't think ash was a rookie with ella as her starter and lied about being an experienced trainer

OldTimer: you'd be surprised how many new trainers think that when they see a trainer from a different region in their region, ezpecially here in unova with our older age limit, whenever trainers from other regions arrive, the rookies here think those trianers are rookies like them, until its found out these are vetran trainers their going against, as those regions have that younger age limit

WaterGirl: since casey was not happy with how this battle is turning out in ash's favor with her using just ella, casey recalled ratatta and sent chikorita and had it use vine whip on ella, which the vines are now around her neck

WaterGirl: and now ash is having her use another attack she just started learning from venus showing her, and thats dazzling gleam, which did damage to chikorita since its still young, & somehow, dazzling gleam got unstable and hit chikorita's head leaf, catching it on fire even as it removed its fines from ella's neck and started running around in panic, and then knocked itself out as the fire got itself out

MovieStar: never heard of dazzling gleaming doing that before, and my starter has fairy typing

SquintyEyes: i agree, as not even misty and i expected that either

ChosenOne: im back and it was strange as i did not expect that to happen as caset recalled chikorita

ChosenOne: and with me declared the winner, which despite misty and brock saying she did good for a rookie and going against a regional varient, and me telling her she did put up a good fight and with more work, she and her pokemon will get cause she's still starting out, she was just to upset as casey ran off, since her pride and arrogance was clearly broken

DragonMaster: pride and arrogance does that to people when they let their arrogance get the bast of them, like gary for example, as his arrogance is still present

OldTimer: and you used a pokemon to give her a decent battle, as your other pokemon we're too strong for casey to go against right away, as she had to learn the hard way what its like to lose against a strong trainer

ChosenOne: i know the feeling of losing, as i had my loses against other trainers, despite not telling you all on the chat those loses, and now we're going to continue on our way to violet city, as its apparetnly going to take us a while to get there

ChosenOne: so after we were walking, we encountered casey again and she challanged me to another battle

LivingLegend: looks like she's eager to prove herself then, or she wants payback against you ash

ChosenOne: it looks like it, with either one that is

ChosenOne: and it looks like this battleing being set in a baseball diamond, with casey starting with chikorita, with me using ella again, cause she wanted a round 2

MovieStar: no surprise there

ChosenOne: at least this time brock and misty were not cheering for casey and doubting my skills again, remembering my warning on ditching the two should they do that

DragonMaster: good they did

WaterGirl: yes we did, and this time casey is starting with chikorita and after saying ash won with 'dirty tricks', whatever that means, casey had it use sweet scent, & it looks like ella is a bit dazed from the smell, but her ice typing is protecting her, & i think ash might be too

GroundQueen: sweet scent can effect humans, when its intentional, otherwise, only pokemon are effected

GroundQueen: and dirty tricks?  ash didnt win with tricks, as it was an honest battle and casey is sounding like a sore loser about her loss

MovieStar: but by having sweet sscent effect ash, that IS a dirty trick, since if she did that in an official league battle, or any official battle in general or competition, casey would be disqualified for cheating

WaterGirl: so here's casey claiming ash battled dirty, yet she's doing it herself

OldTimer: thats right

SteelRocks: and hypocritcal of her

SquintyEyes: as for the battle itself, with ella now a bit dazed and relaxed, casey had chikorita use tackle on her and hit her, with i think it has to be the trio by the scoreboard as misty and i recognize their voices, meaning they will no doubt cheat and steal our pokemon again, as james admitted it

LivingLegend: no surprise james would admit to the theft, and boo the trio

SquintyEyes: and i think their helping casey out without her knowledge when she ran off earlier & must of met them, since it looks like a group of robotic electabuzz fans have been activated to cheer casey on

DragonMaster: wouldn't be surprised the trio is involved and tricked her into thinking their baseball fans, so keep me updated and ready another report about them for their johto file i put together

SquintyEyes: as for the battle, ash had ella rely on typing with blizzard, which did heavily slow chikorita down, but it, or i should say she was still going, since casey revealed her chikorita is female, with casey taking the chance to hit ella again with another tackle

WaterGirl: and now the trio brought up this giant batting machine, with casey accusing ash of being a cheater and that machine is supposed to prove it & had to also call ash a baseball hater, just because she's not a fan, it doesnt mean she outright hates baseball

DragonMaster: well said

LivingLegend: but that doesn't even make sense, as it was a fair battle and casey lost fair and square, its not ash's fault casey was being a sore loser

OldTimer: ash is no cheater in battles, as casey was just being a sore loser about her lose, and the trio were no help either by no doubt convincing her ash 'cheated' to win

OldTimer: of course her coming up with sneaky tactics in battle, yes, but cheating in battle, no, she wouldn't do that

WaterGirl: even ash is agreeing, as she said she didn't cheat in their battle, as it was a fair and square, and called casey a cheater for using sweet scent on her as its illegal to use it on humans in battles, with casey claiming their is no rule for that and how her being an electabuzz fan means she always plays by the rules

WaterGirl: but given you star said its illegal to use sweet scent in battles on humans, casey is in the wrong

SquintyEyes: the trio then took control of the machine and sent it after chikorita, who was cowering in fear, which makes sense since she's young, with ella jumping out to protect chikorita from the machine, which judging from the way casey is looking, she's surprised ash would do that, since again, she was convinced ash was a cheater

WaterGirl: and while we were going to help, ash said she was going to handle this, with the machine managing to hit both chikorita & ella into where the scoreboard is as ash and casey are now running there

WaterGirl: with the trio revealing themselves and their motto in a baseball theme as ash told casey about who the trio are, with casey finding out she was tricked when the trio revealed their plans for both ella and chikorita

MovieStar: those bastards

SquintyEyes: after that, meowth pressed a button on a remote he was holding that revealed several pitching machines that sent a flurry of baseballs towards ash and casey, with casey getting hit in the leg by one of the baseballs & immidiantly gave up on fighting against the trio, with ash telling her they can't let the trio defeat them as she's used her aura to fight back

OldTimer: that is not good to get hit by numerous baseballs, since that can lead to serious injuries more than a softball can, & with machines being the ones fireing these baseballs, its worse cause the injury chances increase even more to where broken bones and concusions can happen

SquintyEyes: i knew that was dangerous, but anyway, ash compared a pokemon match to a baseball match, then she got hit by a baseball on the side of the head

GroundQueen: i hope both girls are alright in the end

DragonMaster: same here

SquintyEyes: same, with casey getting back onto her feet and pulled a baseball from who knows where and began hitting on the baseballs back with such speed, with the trio was not happy about that, with ash calling out both greninja & sceptile to deal with the rest of the baseballs by hitting the baseballs right back at the trio, while casey had rattata & pidgey attack james as she freed chikorita & ella

WaterGirl: with both pokemon free & the baseballs delt with, casey had chikorita aid sceptile with razor leaf on the trio, then ash had ella use another attack she learend called hail as hail is now attacking the trio

WaterGirl: and greninja surprised us all by using thunderbolt on the trio, as who knows how he learned it, with casey having chikorita tacking meowth into jessie & james, and now ash & casey are having ella and chikorita blast the trio with tackle

SquintyEyes: after the trio were delt with again, ella and chikorita congradulated each other, while casey not only thanked ash, she also apologized for listening to the trio & calling her a cheater & excpeted not everyone likes baseball, and found out ash is 11 and not 10 like her

ChosenOne: im back, and casey traveled with us long enough till we got to fork in the road, with casey going one direction and us the other direction, with it also sunset now

ChosenOne: and im glad she apologized to me and was wrong about me being a cheater

DragonMaster: good she did, and did you get hurt from those baseballs?

ChosenOne: casey & i only got bruises, which while do hurt, its not too bad, as we were lucky there was no broken bones

DragonMaster: at least your not that badly hurt, but you still have to fill out a report, as casey will not be held responsible due to being tricked by crimnals

ChosenOne: of course, & hope to see how far casey progresses, since i did explain to her i already did the kanto league, since that explains why i had fully evolved pokemon, as that cheating the trio claimed was saying it was illegal for a vetran trainer to battle a rookie with type advantage, which we think she fell for it beacuse she's the first trainer in her family

OldTimer: this is a big lie, and no surprise she would fall for it, since if one of her relatives was a trainer, they would know that 'rule' doesn't exist

ChosenOne: i knew that didn't exist, as i made that very clear to casey that 'rule' didn't even exist and there IS no rule similar to it, as she lost against me that first time fair and square and she was being a sore loser, so yes, i told her the flat out truth

LivingLegend: good, dont suger coat it, as that is the best way for her to learn the truth

ChosenOne: and now continuing on to violet city

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: so its been 3 days since parting ways with casey & we're slowly making our way to violet city, with it now august 4th

DragonMaster: just remember to take your time, since while for kanto, whose season starts on september 1st and ends in late may or sometimes in april, so roughly 7-8 months, for johto it takes longer since the region is bigger than kanto, so our league season is roughly 10 to 11 months, with it starting on august 1st and ends around mid to late june to sometimes early july

DragonMaster: in other words, take your time, but don't go too slow that you won't get all your badges in time

ChosenOne: i will dad

ChosenOne: so we stopped in a forest for a quick break and several of the trees are missing their leaves & are not showing any other damage, which did make the trees look dead at first, but the bark is still alive

LivingLegend: maybe its a snorlax again and it ate the leaves

LivingLegend: by the way dragon, what happend to that snorlax chosen caught?

DragonMaster: he was sent to the ranger unioun to relocate him, as with his large size, he needed to be sent to where he can always find food and now bother any human settlements due to his hunger

DragonMaster: and as for that forest, it has to be bug types, mainly heracross & at times pinsirs, as thats the pokemon that live there

WaterGirl: BUG TYPES!?

ChosenOne: and now misty is freaking outtt IS THAT A NEW POKEMON!?

DragonMaster: that must be a heracross you saw since as i just said, their common in that forest you 3 are in

ChosenOne: according to my pokedex, IT IS!

ChosenOne: and there's a horde of heracross clamped onto a healthy tree trunk, & according to the pokedex, their favorite food is tree sap & are also generally quite peaceful

DragonMaster: they normally are peaceful, but there are ones that let their fighting typing be more domanint

ChosenOne: cool, & as i was about to talk to the heracross to ask them what happened to the trees, i got stopped by a man in a red uniform who told us catching the heracross will only cause more damage to the forest, even though i said i wasn't going to catch any and was just going to talk to them

DragonMaster: that would be woodruff, who happens to be a forest ranger in that area, & the only reason why he told you not to catch any is cause the heracross are important to the forest's natual balance by helping the local butterfree population that also feeds on sap but are unable to break the tree trunk to get the sap the heracross also feed on

WaterGirl: that explains why when my butterfree was still with and we had to breaking some bark off trees for his to snack on the sap in there

DragonMaster: that's correct

LivingLegend: then how would one catch a heracross then if their that protected?

GroundQueen: im wondering that too

DragonMaster: not only it depends on what forest in johto it is, but instead of the trainer picking the heracross, its the heracross that chooses the trainer, that way it keeps the balace in the forest when the heracross decide on leaving with a trainer

SteelRocks: thats actually quite intresting

SquintyEyes: we even saw some of the heracross digging into the tree trunks for sap to flow as some butterfree showed up to eat the sap

WaterGirl: i am worried about the heracross and butterfree hurting the forest though

ChosenOne: according to woodruff, invadors broke the balance in this forest and thats why it looks the way it does

OldTimer: could be an invasive pokemon species, since due to unova's ecosystem being so iscolated from pokemon outside of unova, when we started introducing wild pokemon from the other regions to our regoion, we had to make sure it didn't cause severe damage to our ecosystem

DragonMaster: that is a big possibility

ChosenOne: efejfoejfeo

DragonMaster: chosen?

ChosenOne: sorry, the 'invadors' showed up

MovieStar: was it bug types from outside of johto?

ChosenOne: it was, with it being pinsir, with a large herd of them chasing away the butterfree so they could get at the sap

SquintyEyes: and now ash went to yell at the pinsirs to leave the other pokemon alone, & misty went to yell at the heracross to do something about the pinsir in their territory

DragonMaster: thats not right, since normally the pinsir and heracross are able to live peacfully, as long as they don't invade eachothers area that is

OldTimer: no doubt something is in the pinsir's territory and thats why their in the heracross's territory

SquintyEyes: even i agree with timer, and while the heracross are flying up to attack the pinsir, with the girls cheering them on, it didn't last long, since the heracross were easily scared off by the pinsir's moving their massive pincer horns & flew away in fear

DragonMaster: that would do it, since heracross are usually scared of pinsir when they use there head pincers, & with heracross being too peacful to actually fight back against the pinsir, it also will cause more damage to the forest

SquintyEyes: then the forest will no doubt be destroyed if the heracross don't do something

WaterGirl: and now ash noticed one of the butterfrees still trapped in the lower branches of the tree and ran over to the tree to free it, with some pinsir closing in on her and butterfree

GroundQueen: hopefully she didn't get hurt freeing that butterfree

WaterGirl: she didn't, since one of the heracross, a male one, who has to be the bravest and one that has fighting typing dominant jumped between ash and butterfree to defend them both as ash freed the butterfree, with those pinsir attacking that heracross with their giant spiked pincers

GroundQueen: not good for heracross

WaterGirl: and now ash sent out falkor to help heracross out with having him us vine wipe after vine whip until all those pinsir flew off, with ash getting that butterfree free from the where it was trapped in the branches as it too flew off

WaterGirl: only heracross is too tired to also fly off with the other heracross

LivingLegend: after that fight, no wonder why he was too tired to fly off

ChosenOne: im back, and right as the pinsir regroupd at the tree trunk, & with that heracross too injured to retreat, i had falkor use frenzy plant on those pinsir to defend heracross, & once the pinsir ran off, heracross went over to us & approached me & falkor, only instead of thanking us both like we thought he would, he began sucking on the bulbs on sceptile's back, which caused him a great deal of pain, with falkor managing to fling heracross off of him

DragonMaster: yeah, sorry for not mentioning that about heracross doing that to certain grass pokemon

SquintyEyes: after he did that, we're not sure if heracross was protecing ash and the butterfree that was stuck or its food source, & now im worried heracross would do that same thing to volos

MovieStar: any word on the pinsir coming back?

ChosenOne: woodruff is worried, with him saying the pinsir's territory is on the opposite side of a river & how something caused them to cross the river and invade the heracross' territory, & despite her fear, all 3 of us are helping woodruff

LivingLegend: someting tells me we all already know whose behind this

ChosenOne: i would not be surprised its the trio

ChosenOne: so, as woodruff is leading us to the pinsir territory, with bulbasaur and sceptile working together by clearing the path we're taking with razor leaf, that same heracross is also following us, so either heracross wants us to protect him, or he wants more food from sceptile & bulbasaurs' bulbs, with bulbasaur using razor leaf to scare heracross away as he didn't want what happened to falkor to happen to him

LivingLegend: maybe you earned heracross' respect

ChosenOne: maybe i did as i recalled falkor and brock with volos

WaterGirl: out of the woods and with both grass types returned, we approached a deep gorge this river here is running through, with woodruff pointing out the rope bridge he uses to cross this area, only the bridge is down and apart, despite him saying it was fine a week ago

DragonMaster: thats not good and ill send for a crew to repair the bridge with a stronger bridge than before, after you all take care of what's going on there first

ChosenOne: okay, and from what misty saw, the pinsir are getting across by jumping along the branches of the trees, and while at first we thought the pinsir cut the bridge, until woodruff verified it was humans that did this

OldTimer: it has to be the trio, since that makes the most sense, or the possibiltiy of poachers

ChosenOne: i agree on it being the trio, & as we were trying to figure out on how to cross the gorge, we saw heracross pushing a tree till it crashed down, with us getting out of the way as the tree landed to where we can cross the gorge

GroundQueen: smart heracross on making a quick bridge across

ChosenOne: thanks to heracross, we crossed the river into the pinsir territory, granted togepi almost fell off until misty grabbed him, with heracross still following us at a distance, after getting some more sap along the way

ChosenOne: we'll chat after this is delt with

ChosenOne: so we found the source of why the pinsir left, and it a giant robot pinsir thats sucking out the tree sap with a hose

SteelRocks: of course its the trio who did this

ChosenOne: and of course the trio had to leap out from the tree to say their mottto & explained their plan to drain the forest of all its sap and sell it

DragonMaster: that is ILLEGAL and can even give those 3 the death penalty, since that forest is highly protected, & those 3 idiots doing that is highly against the law, with this also being added to their johto crime file

DragonMaster: plus you cant make money off of selling tree sap, as its just plain ordinary tree sap to begin with

GroundQueen: so those 3 were doing damage to the forest for no real reason then, other than thinking simple tree sap is worth money

DragonMaster: pretty much

WaterGirl: when we all scolded the trio for upsetting the balance of nature for their own selfish gain, but not the tree sap as we didn't know it was worthless

WaterGirl: after the motto & the story on 2 days ago, meowth smelt the sap and led to the tree in the pinsir territory, where he tasted the sap and liked it, and so did jessie and james as this was jessie's idea to sell it in a pancake house with that sap instead of syrup, and then using the sap for sauce instead

DragonMaster: despite the taste of the sap, it still is worthless to sell, and thats a health code violation on using tree sap on food anyway

SquintyEyes: i thought so on that part, with jessie and james sending out lickitung & victreebel, only both pokemon got distracted by the tree sap, so instead, meowth took the remote of the pinsir robot and commaned it to attack us

MovieStar: did any of you get hurt?

ChosenOne: we didn't, with me sending out falkor again & had him use leaf blade, with kakashi aiding with using water shuriken, with the robot blocking both attack with its steel pincers, and while we did do some damage to the robot, like nicks, it wasn't enough, and before i sent out vikingr, since i had him with us to burn it

SquintyEyes: only to our surprise, heracross showed up and took on that pinsir robot, with a battle between heracross & the robot happening, to where the mecha got beaten, with the remote getting destroyed by the trio, leaving the robot unable to fight back

LivingLegend: thats good

WaterGirl: with the mecha down, we quickly removed the sap tanks & after we did that, heracross shoved his horns under the mecha and tossed the mecha high into the air, with it landing on the trio, causing it to explode, and the trio to blasting off again

ChosenOne: after that, & with us 3 congratulating heracross, the pinsir began returning to their territory now that the trio has been delt with and woodruff letting the pinsir deal with the sap stollen

DragonMaster: thats good to hear

ChosenOne: it is, and when we went back to the heracross side, we saw the heracross and the butterfree feeding on that same tree, with the same one that helped us approaching us, whom we thanked again for his help, with us saying our goodbyes to heracross and woodruff as we continued on to violet city

DragonMaster: again im seding a crew to the area to repair the bridge between the two territorys

ChosenOne: good to hear dad & that same heracross is still following us, with him saying he wants to leave the forest and come with us, mainly me

DragonMaster: sounds like he chosed you to be his trainer, that is if he fits into your team that is

ChosenOne: he does, since he loves to battle and now i have an actual bug type & my first johto catch, with my only nest ball, but first, what can i do to help get him to stop eating sceptile & bulbasaurs' bulbs?

ChosenOne: mainly since i don't want to keep dealing with heracross sucking on the sap in their bulbs constantly

DragonMaster: when you get to the next pokemart, pick up these special tablets or powder mix that can be mixed into bulbasuar & sceptile's food, and while both of them won't taste anything, heracross will should he try and get at both their bulbs

DragonMaster: as that will give the sap in both their bulbs a nasty taste to heracross, to where you give both of them those tablets or powder constantly for at least a month, then their sap will have that nasty taste staying to it as a way to keep heracross at bay

ChosenOne: will do that, and i will say all the moves heracorss knows now, & right now its obvious he knows tackle & horn attack since we saw him use both attacks, and he knows 4 other attacks, which are endure, leer, megahorn, & focus punch

OldTimer: a good move set for heracross & a good move set to work with

ChosenOne: it is & should i say what his ability & egg move are?

SteelRocks: i would say only if you want to, & knowing you, you would say it, even though you don't want to, you would

ChosenOne: okay, with his ability being guts & his with his 3 egg moves being harden, night slash, and double-edge, with harden unlocked, and night slash its looking to be almost unlocked, so ill have him work with greninja on that, and double edge later on

ChosenOne: i also used my xtransiever to send kovu back to the ranch for now even

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: so after another 3 days of traveling, we managed to find the nearest pokemart to get those tablets, & getting to know heracross

ChosenOne: and right now we just came across a scenic valley that we have to pass to reach violet city, which would take another matter of days

WaterGirl: and the view was amazing

DragonMaster: thats good to hear where you three are at right now

ChosenOne: along with misty & me both be trainnnnnn foejofjeo

SteelRocks: sigh

ChosenOne: sorry about that, the ground was shaking as some large rocks fell off the cliff above

GroundQueen: were you 3 near that?

ChosenOne: luckily we weren't auntie

MovieStar: good, as you 3 could of gotten crushed, or badly hurt

SquintyEyes: luckily those rocsk were small enough to not crush us

ChosenOne: so as we continued walking on the dirt trail, we encountered a donphan in the shrubs

SteelRocks: i wonder why one is doing out there

OldTimer: does it look wild?

ChosenOne: not sure for both of those, but im going to as

ChosenOne: and brock decided he was going to catch instead, cause he said is was young due to its shorter tusks and how it needed a good breeder to raise it, only for misty to tell brock that donphan might belong to someone, which resulted in the two arguing on donphan having a trainer or not

DragonMaster: it might, as i heard of there being someone that owns donphans in that area, but i don't remember much

ChosenOne: i kinda figured that, since when it started walking away, it sounded scared and was mentioning finding someone that has to be its trainer, & i just mannaged to get misty & brocks attention about donphan walking away, and brock is very determined to catch it

MovieStar: how so?

ChosenOne: he let onix out and had him use tackle on dophan, & while it was sent backwards, it quickly recovered by curling into a ball and rolling at onix, to the point it actually defeated onix

DragonMaster: thats impressive, given how strong onix is

ChosenOne: it is, but i think brock had onix hold back, so both of them were take by surprise donphan won as he recalled onix

ChosenOne: and donphan is now mad at us for attacking it, to where it was about to go after me when heracross just letted himself out to take on donphan

GroundQueen: only had heracross for 3 days & already he's protective of you

ChosenOne: as for heracross, he used tackle on donphan which senti it flying backwards, with it jumping back up after it landed & charged again with another roll attack

ChosenOne: and now heracross is using horn attack without me telling him, sending donphan into a tree trunk and down, but not knocked out

ChosenOne: and right before heracross was going to hit donphan with another attack, a girl a little older than brock stopped that from happening by standing in front of donphan

OldTimer: so that donphan does have a trainer, proving misty was right

WaterGirl: sure am

ChosenOne: it does, and be right back

ChosenOne: at least this is all cleared up and the girl left with donphan already

SteelRocks: what all happened after that girl showed up to check her donphan?

ChosenOne: well after she checked on donphan when she saw its injuries, she then threatened me, claiming i was attempting to steal her donphan, and when i tried to explain it to her i wasn't stealing, she then threatened to get me arrested

ChosenOne: then misty outed brock as the one that went after donphan first and how heracross was only protecting me from donphan attacking me

ChosenOne: and right before brock could flirt with with that girl, she kicked him in the crotch, which had him crying in pain as she threatened to get him arrested for attempting to steal donphan and attacking it in the first place, & getting me & misty arrested for not stopping him

LivingLegend: have to say it but OUCH! and brock did deserve that

DragonMaster: agreed, and about time someone did that to him

ChosenOne: he did, & after explaining & apologizing to the girl, who said her name is rochelle, on how we all thought donphan was a wild pokemon, with brock, once he got up, made a 2nd attempt to flirt with her & even commented on her necklavce that she said had amberite on it

SteelRocks: that is a rare stone thats offten used by local artisans, collected by collectors, & offtened used by jewlers as stones in their jewlery, where it also was once worn by royalty, just like gold and diamonds

SteelRocks: and i also have my own small collection of amberite i found during some of my digs

ChosenOne: cool, with rochelle pulling away from brock, & telling us all the donphan here are hers, with us 3 not going to catch any, but i did ask if she wouldn't mind a battle for later, with her saying she'll think about it, then walked into the trees & dissapeared

MovieStar: souns like a no to the battle

ChosenOne: it does but it doesn't bother me, since she was be busy & still salty at us for attacking donphan

DragonMaster: not surprising

ChosenOne: and now we're going to continue on our way across the vally, with heracross being returned

ChosenOne: and dragging brock with us as he's still love struck again

WaterGirl: so after walking a while longer, we stumbled across rochelle again and shes trying to find her missing donphan that was stolen this time, which is also the same one brock tried to catch earlier, and with her description of the ones that took donphan, no doubt the trio are behind this, as they match the description of the thieves, despite the disguises they wore

ChosenOne: of course brock flirted with rochelle again and misty dragged him away by his ear

LivingLegend: they just can't give you 3 a break, and same with brock and his flirting

WaterGirl: i agree, as brock is having zubat sent out to fly around and use supersonic to help find donphan, but couldnt cause of the all the trees in the way

OldTimer: that would do it

ChosenOne: rochelle is now blowing on this high pitched whistle, and got her other 3 donphan to arrive very fast, with her explaining how she trained these ones to appear at her side, but hasn't with the 4th cuase that one is too young & how she also hadn't had the time to train it to rrespond to her whistle

SquintyEyes: after that, rochelle had the other 3 donphan sent out to look for their missing herd member, so we're going to follow those 3 donphan the one were looking for

DragonMaster: good luck to you 3

ChosenOne: found the trio & delt with them, who were using donphan to dig in the valley for the amberite

OldTimer: what all happened?  since they already were blasted away again

LivingLegend: details ash, please

ChosenOne: well after the trio did their motto & after rochelle confirmed the trio went after donphan cause donphan's can be trained to sniff out amberite, then jessie and james sent out arbok & victreebel, with brock dealing with victreebel by having onix hold it in a bind attack, but got put to sleep with sleep powder

GroundQueen: always annoying when thats used

ChosenOne: then i sent out heracross & misty sent out poliwag to get both of them more battling experience, and trio dealing with experience

WaterGirl: i had poliwag use double-slap on victreebel, followed by bubble and latching to james' head and onto meowth, with bubble getting stronger to where bubble beam can soon be learned, while ash had heracross use tackle to send arbok flying into jessie, then had him use horn attack to toss the trio into their meowth ballon basket

ChosenOne: that was when i finished the battle by having greninja finishing off with shadow ball to burst a hole in the hot air balloon, sending the trio flying off into the distance

LivingLegend: peace from them for now

ChosenOne: for now

ChosenOne: at least rochelle was happy to have her donphan back & as a way of thanking us, she's going to show us how her donphans find the amberite, as thanks to this donphan still being trained to find amberite, thats why the trio didn't find it

GroundQueen: just their luck even

SteelRocks: and not only that was nice of rochelle to do that, it also makes me want to have a donphan myself to make finding minerals & even other gemstones easier, as those amberite i found was just by pure chance

DragonMaster: of course you would want a donphan to elp with your digs

ChosenOne: and again, be back in a bit

ChosenOne: rochelle showed us by having her oldest & most experienced donphan sniff the amberite on her necklace, then the donphan charged at a nearby cliff we were led to, which meant those tremors from earlier was rochelle & her donphans doing that

MovieStar: that explains that

DragonMaster: it does

ChosenOne: when the fallen rocks landed and smashed open, inside them was the amberite, with rochelle telling us as she picked the amberite up on how she supplies the local artists and jewlers with the amberite, like what uncle said earlier, with rochelle even letting all three of us each have a large peice of that amberite to cut into something for each of us, as thanks for helping get donphan back

DragonMaster: that was nice of her to let you three have a large peice of amberite

ChosenOne: it was, & she even decided on having that 1vs1 battle against me with her most experienced donphan, while i use heracross in his first official trainer battle

LivingLegend: all right his first battle!

WaterGirl: as for the battle itself, it was rochelle started by having donphan start with tackle and pushed heracross back, while ash called out for him to use endure, and then tossed donphan

LivingLegend: go heracross!

SquintyEyes: donphan landed on it feet and rochelle called out for rollout, and while heracross got out of the way, donphan kept rolling behind him and even with ash warning him, he was still hit from behind and hit a tree

SquintyEyes: and began eating the sap

DragonMaster: that will need to be worked on

WaterGirl: heracross flew back over and contined the battle with rochelle having donphan use tackle again, and ash having heracross use his head to block donphan's tackle, and then ash called for heracross to throw donphan with his horn attack again

WaterGirl: until rochelle had donphan turn it into a rollout and hit heracross with tackle again, causing him to land on the ground, and while he wasn't knocked out, he and ash still lost, and she did explain heracross was caught only 3 days ago

LivingLegend: darn for the loss though

ChosenOne: im back, and despite the lost, but that's okay, as im still working with heracross, and i just started teachin him the special attak struggle bug, then working on getting his other 2 egg moves unlocked

MovieStar: its always good to not let losses get to you, and working on new attacks for heracrosss

OldTimer: and it shows what you still need to work on with heracross, since he still has a ways to go to get to the power your other pokemon are at

ChosenOne: there is still a lot to work on with heracross, and i also have his training plan still being finalized as we continue on to violet city

ChosenOne: and we've been looking at names for him, and so far, nothing i picked he liked

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: so its been 2 days since we left rochelle and now we got lost in the middle of a deep forest, again cause of my terrible sense of direction, again, as i was holding the map this time

LivingLegend: the joys of having a terrible sense of direction

ChosenOne: at least there's still day light, but the sun is about to set soon, and we might set up camp, but on the other hand, we want to keep moving to get out of this forest

DragonMaster: if im right, in that forest your in, its best to have a hoothoot with cause they can deel with the illusions of the ghost types that live in the forest make

DragonMaster: i know you can rent hoothoot's from the sisters hagatha and nagatha to make traveling through the forest easier, but since you have 2 dark types and a ghost type with already, you'll have an easier time traveling

ChosenOne: good to know ahead of time there's ghost types here, & since i already have kakashi out with us, and ill have to get itachi & sobek sent over here with my xtranseiever, and while we're walking down the pathway

SquintyEyes: the closests i would have to a dark type right now is farkas, so ill have him out

WaterGirl: sucks i don't have a pokemon that could help against ghost types using illusions

ChosenOne: its got itahci and sobek here, along with storm, and so far, only itachi and kakashi are out and im pretty sure we heard some eeerie sounds that have to be the ghosts types trying to scare us, since right now the trees appear to have terrifying faces on them as we're quickly leaving

DragonMaster: thats the ghost types then, as they like doing that

OldTimer: best keep your 3 pokemon close by to ward off those ghost types, and protect you three

ChosenOne: right now itachi must of chased those ghosts away, since some of these trees look normall again, so we're going to continue on, with sobek, farkas, and vilkus now out to help protect us from the ghosts using illusions, while itachi and kakashi are doing so from the shadows

ChosenOne: and now a new pokemon that according to my pokedex when i scanned it in being a hoothoot that just appeared and used an attack called foresight to turn the remaining illusions back to normal, and guess who showed up with the hoothoot

ChosenOne: and hint, i wish it was the trio insdtead, as i can tollerate them

LivingLegend: you only been in johto for almost 2 weeks and already gary has to show up!

ChosenOne: its indeed gary

MovieStar: id rather deal with the trio than gary

ChosenOne: same here and with my luck the trio would be here

ChosenOne: and of course, gary had to insult me for not being prepared for the forest against the illusions by needed to have a hoothoot, otherwise you'll get lost in this forest forever, then had to braig on how he lost track of time as he was catching pokemon in the forest

GroundQueen: what an ass, and you already have 3 pokemon capable of dealing with those illusions and ghosts

DragonMaster: and he's lying about the pokemon he caught, as the only pokemon there are ghosts, otherwise there are tho occasional pidgey and ratatta, and small bug types, otherwise the ghosts dominate this forest

ChosenOne: you got that right auntie, and i figured he was lying dad, as i sensed no new pokemon aura's with gary

ChosenOne: and a bonus just happened, and that was itachi & kakashi sneaking up behind gary and scaring him so badly, he ran off in fear as the hoothoot he must be renting flew off after him

SteelRocks: he deserved that & that sounds so funny

WaterGirl: it was very funny as all three of us and the pokemon out were all laughing

OldTimer: you 3 gonna look for a hoothoot or not bother with it?

ChosenOne: since we have 2 dark types and a ghost type already, and two lycanrocs that can also scare the ghosts types in the forest away, we're not gonna look for one, but if we see a hoothoot we'll ask it for help out of here

ChosenOne: and now misty got scared, cause a hoothoot just showed up out of nowhere at her feet and as she backed away from it, it followed her

MovieStar: maybe it likes her

ChosenOne: im gonna asmfermferkmfe

SteelRocks: chosen?

DragonMaster:@squintyeyes: brock, what just happen?

SquintyEyes: as ash walked up to hoothoot to talk it it, for no apparent reason it attacked her & then flew off

OldTimer: is that normal for hoothoots' to do that lance?

DragonMaster: it shouldn't be for a wild hoothoot, unless hagatha & nagatha trained that hoothoot to attack certain trainers, or could be some other reason

ChosenOne: THAT HOOTHOOT IS IN FOR IT FROM ME!

SquintyEyes: and ash just ran after that hoothoot to back at it for attacking her

SquintyEyes: so we chased hoothoot all the way to the this stone structure ruins that has to be another illusion

DragonMaster: those ruins are real brock, with those ruins from being centuries ago, and no one knows where they came from, but some say their ruins from a castle, while others think its some symbolic ruin to hoothoots as there are some hoothoot carvings on those ruins, and others theorys are there

GroundQueen: i gotta check that out myself at somepoint

SquintyEyes: good to know those are real ruin

ChosenOne: and ash is close to that hoothoot again and right before ash had kakashi use dark pulse on hoothoot, it started pecking at her head agian, only to stop when this really old woman showed up and hoothoot hopped next to & started nuzzling her leg, meaning that ugly old woman is real

DragonMaster: i will make sure hagatha and nagatha are notified about that behavior of that hoothoot for attacking trainers, as they normally are raised NOT to that to trainers, as thats bad for bussisness

SquintyEyes: given how that woman was angry when i called her ugly, she also said her name is hagatha & said she will need her help if we want to get out of the forest safely, even though ash said we didn't need help, hagatha didn't want to hear it as she's leading us to her house now

ChosenOne: so at hagatha's house now and while we're sitting outside, she explained how she and her sister rent out hoothoots to people traveling through the forest that don't have a ghost type and dark type already, cause the hoothoot can see past the illusions, which we knew that already thanks to you dad

ChosenOne: and she told us she only has one left, and its the one that attacked me

DragonMaster: of course it has to be that one, and from the complaints i had sent to me out that hoothoot from trainers getting lost when using it, since the sisters are techniacally league employese due to the amount of trainers that pass this forest, that hoothoot never once guided a single traveler safely through the forest

DragonMaster: but strangly, its the boys that happenes to, as the girls are the ones that usually make it safely out

SteelRocks: that is strange

ChosenOne: given how i said we don't need hoothoot to help us, since we already have a ghost type & 2 dark types to deal with the illusions the ghosts in the forest make, which hagatha was surprised we knew ghost types live in the forest, meaning we weren't staying since we did not want to wait until morning

GroundQueen: im still curious as to why that hoothoot has it out for you ash

ChosenOne: when i asked hoothoot, whose a guy, that judgmentaly prick said he likes pretty girls only and not ugly bratty boys like me!

ChosenOne: then he pecked my head again!  like he was aiming to make me bleed!

MovieStar: thats not right!

ChosenOne: then he flew back over to misty and snuggled up on her lap all smug like!

ChosenOne: AND TO TOP IT OFF! HAGATHA SAID CAUSE SHE TRAINED HOOTHOOT SO HE ONLY GETS ALONG WITH PRETTY GIRLS LIKE MISTY AND NOT UGLY BRATTY BOYS LIKE ME!

DragonMaster: THAT BITCH!

ChosenOne: AND WHEN I YELLED AT HER AND SAID I AM A GIRL WITH EVEN SHOVING MY TRAINER ID INTO THAT HAGS FACE SHE CALLED ME AN UGLY DISGUSTING GIRL THATLL BE AN EVEN UGLIER WOMAN!

6 Replies: THAT BITCH!

ChosenOne: THEN ARRRRGGGG

DragonMaster: sweetheart?

GroundQueen: hun?

MovieStar: sweetie?

SteelRocks: you okay?

OldTimer: chosen?

LivingLegend: ash?

ChosenOne has logged off

OldTimer: brock? what all happened?

SquintyEyes: a lot

DragonMaster: just start from when she was yelling at hagatha, whom im no doubt gonna get a complainted form about that hag

SquintyEyes: what happened was when hagatha called her an ugly bratty boy, she laughed quite loudly with all seriousness cause was convinced ash is a boy when you can tell she is a girl whose wearing baggy clothes with shorter hair, with hoothoot laughing & even misty laughed, which i was not happy about, but i think misty only did that not to anger hagatha, as that woman is scary

DragonMaster: im not happy about that either, as here i though things were gonna change here with you three, but yes, hagatha is scary

SquintyEyes: after ash yelled at hagatha and shoved her trainer id into that hag's face to prove she is a girl, that woman actually took another look at ash, and indeed realized she's a girl and not a boy, with the same for hoothoot

SquintyEyes: thats when hagatha called ash an ugly & disgusting girl that will become an even uglier woman, with that hag laughing even louder, like she found it so funny she insulted ash, with hoothoot laughing even louder as he too insulted ash, & while im not the best at understanding what my pokemon are saying , but i understand enough to where i asked farkas what hoothoot said

SteelRocks: what did farkas have to say?

SquintyEyes: he said hoothoot also called ash not only an ugly & digusting girl, he also called exactly what gary called her, & thats hideous to even look at, & then said misty is pretty cause she 'shows off' why she's pretty, and i was not happy to hear that

OldTimer: are you saying that bird is a pervert who only likes pretty girls that show off their bodies?

SquintyEyes: thats exactly what im saying alder, as that made me want to sick farkas on that bird

GroundQueen: that bird needs to be taught a lesson he'll never forget for only liking girls that show their bodies off

GroundQueen: like garchomp for example

MovieStar: i second that, with hawlucha giving him a good beating, or a good pecking to see how he likes it

SquintyEyes: after hoothoot said that & with ash still furious, she used an aura sphere and threw it, & while it blasted into a tree, its what she said to misty that shocked her and me even

LivingLegend: what did ash say?

SquintyEyes: that bastard tad, its what she only heard that wasn't caught on the stream

DragonMaster: what was it that bastard said to her? as we still don't know and ash is the only one that does

SquintyEyes: tad said to her it was MISTY he really wanted & not ash, cause misty at least 'advertised herself' & he only went after ash cause misty wasn't alone and ash was with only vulcan with her and he was going to battle her later anyway

DragonMaster: THAT BASTARD!

DragonMaster: that will be added to his criminal file

OldTimer: what happened after ash stormed off into that forest in anger brock?

SquintyEyes: while that hag said ash was now gonna get lost in the forest without a hoothoot to take care of the illusions & how 'this one here knows a pretty girl when he sees one' as she adressed the one still in the house oogling misty

GroundQueen: that hag is really angering me

MovieStar: me too cynth

SquintyEyes: then kakashi in his anger yelled at hoothoot for insulting ash, and while he's only saying forms of his name, i can tell he's yelling as hoothoot in return used a psychic attack on kakashi in anger for yelling at him, but cause of his dark typeing, that pshychic attack didn't work

SquintyEyes: and now it looks like kakashi is threatning that bird with night slash, while vilkus and sobek threatened to eat him, with the 3 leaving the house to comfort ash, followed by itachi who came out of the shadows to scare hoothoot from behind, who was terrifed of the gengar, as itachi also left in anger, meaning ash won't have to deal with those ghost types using illusions on her

SquintyEyes: also in her anger, ash forgot her backpack here and her other pokeballs, with storm popping out in anger, as ash got her sent here & sent kaida and vulcan back to the ranch

SquintyEyes: and she not only grabbed hoothoot with her tallons, she also pecked at him on the head to see how he liked it, then did the same to hagatha on pecking her on the head

OldTimer: good for storm to do that to those 2

DragonMaster: about time too

SquintyEyes: i let storm stay out and while i grabbing ash's backpack to take it with me & farkas, we're all  going to find ash, but first, lance im sending the complaint form about hagatha to you, & as for misty, ill let her decide on what she wants to do

DragonMaster: ill be waiting for it

SquintyEyes: storm, farkas & i found ash crying with kakashi comforting her, with sobek near the two & vilkus having his head and front paws on her lap, with itachi floating around to keep the other ghosts at bay, while also giving ash comfort

DragonMaster: good thing you found her with her pokemon, since being insulted for years in her own hometown is one thing, but being insulted by a complete stranger and a perverted pokemon, that no doubt has her greatly upset, & i also got the complaint form and contacting nagatha about her sister and that hoothoot, as she at least is the nicer of the two twins

LivingLegend: how these idiots can't see she's pretty is something i can't wrap my head around

GroundQueen: its always a mystery why people say stuff like that, as sometimes its due to their own insecurites of their own looks and need to insult those they see as prettier than them to feel better about their own pathetic selves

SquintyEyes: misty just showed up now, with that hoothoot still following her, even though she made it clear to him she wanted nothing to do with him

SteelRocks: at least thats something

SquintyEyes: and now the illusions are back with those ghosts using will-o-wisp on us, and while hoothoot clearly is showing off to misty by attempting foresight, only it failed with hoothoot also too scared now, even with misty urging him to try again, kakashi is taking care of this by using dark pulse on the ghost attack, and itachi is taking care of the illusions as all of us are going to run to safety

ChosenOne: got to safety now

MovieStar: welcome back

GroundQueen: how you feeling hun?

DragonMaster: if it makes you feel better, brock filed a complaint form about hagatha and that hoothoot

ChosenOne: that does make me feel better dad and while the jerk hoothoot is only here cause he's still oogling misty, that still angers me since he's still insulting me, even being threatened & pecked, he STILL won't stop

LivingLegend: what a jerk of a bird

ChosenOne: then the ghosts made another attack on us, with making multiple illusion copies of me as kakashi took cared of them with water shuriken cause he knew which one was me thanks to our bond, while those ghosts had illusions of numerous bug types surrounding misty, with bug types i recognize and ones i don't

SteelRocks: did hoothoot make an attempt at those illusions to 'impress' misty?

ChosenOne: while he took down some, after i yelled at him and called him a coward for attempting to run away, he did manage to get foresight right, but in the end, sobek took down the rest of the bug illusions with shadow claw, as there was just too many for hoothoot to use foresight on at once

LivingLegend: did you try scanning those bug illlusions? just to see what would happen

ChosenOne: i did and the only ones that worked were the ones i already had scanned into my pokedex, which makse sense cause i already saw those bug types, otherwise the rest that i didn't recognize, my pokedex gave an error message on how it didn't reocognize those ones

LivingLegend: makes sense cause you have yet to meet those ones, and their not real

ChosenOne: same, and anyway, after those illusions were taken cared of for good, itachi flew back with quite a few gastly, haunter, & gengar following him, revealing they were the ones making illusions

SteelRocks: and here i thought there would be other ghost types with, inluding ones you have yet to scan cause the illusions

ChosenOne: there were other ghost types of various evolutions that followed, & before anyone asks, all the ghosts don't want to leave the forest as they said this is their home

GroundQueen: at least you said that before any of us could ask

ChosenOne: as for the other ghosts we saw that i already have scanned, there was mostly shuppet & banette, and even misdreavus & misamagius as the most, along with a few duskull, drifloon, phantump, & gourgeist that were different sizes of average, small, large, & super

OldTimer: thats quite the amount

ChosenOne: as for the new ones i scanned in, it was the duskull evolutions dusclops & dusknoir, & the drifloon evolution drifblim, & even trevanant, & last the pokemon gourgeist evolves from pumpkaboo in those same 4 different sizes

DragonMaster: thats a fair amount of ghosts to encounter & makes sense to see those ones in a forest

ChosenOne: as for the ghosts leaving, it was a combined part of vilkus, farkas, and sobek using the dark attack snarl and also a couple of dark pulses were thrown in, which sobek learned from those two, to scare away the ghost types away when they tried to attack again, but that was after i scanned the new ones first

ChosenOne: and as we're continuing walking, as this all already happened, the sun is now rising as we found ourselved back at the same stone structure for some reason, unless its a different one

DragonMaster: it is a different one, but that can be confusing since both stone structures are nearly identicle

GroundQueen: and that one for me to also look at

ChosenOne: and we also see hagatha walking towards us, unless thats nagatha, with brock asking 'hagatha' if we were still lost, & its confirmed to be nagatha cause she yelled at brock that she's hagatha's twin sister nagatha, with her taking us to her house

DragonMaster: if it does get brought up by nagatha by chance, i did send her a message about the complaint form about hagatha

ChosenOne: good to know

ChosenOne: we returned hoothoot to nagatha, who then called hagatha to let her know we got out of the forest, & im pretty sure she showed she was more realived to see mainly misty & surprisingly brock were safe more than me when she saw all 3 of us

GroundQueen: that hag just can't stop being judgemental

ChosenOne: at least nagatha isn't judgmental when she yelled at her sister about the complaint form that was sent about her, and even yelled at hoothoot for being jugmental and for even oogling misty and threatened him even

MovieStar: good to know nagatha is indeed nicer than her twin

ChosenOne: it was nice and before we left the forest, nagatha said something that might be crypt, but i can't be sure

DragonMaster: what was it

ChosenOne: she said 'those who are seen and as an ugly ducklett are the ones that grow into the most beautiful of swanna', whatever that means

LivingLegend: never heard of that saying before

SteelRocks: neither have i

OldTimer: that saying comes from a popular childrens book here in unova

ChosenOne: really?

OldTimer: it is, with the book being told by numerous aouthers in different ways, but its all the same where a ducklett raised to beleive its ugly cause its egg hatched with quaxly eggs i beleive, and sometimes the books say psyduck eggs, then when the ugly ducklett evolved, it evolved into a beautiful swanna

MovieStar: thats an intresting children's book

GroundQueen: and an intresting saying

GroundQueen: in other words ash, as you get older, all those that treated you like crap will be eating their own words when they see the beautiful woman you became

ChosenOne: good to hear that, as it makes me feel better & were going to continue on our way to violet city, but if we see a pokemon center along the way, we're stopping there first to get some sleep

DragonMaster: that'd be best, as you three were up all night

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: so a couple hours after we left the forest, we came across a small city called Florando City & cause we were all very sleepy, including our pokemon, we immidiantly checked into the pokemon center and once we were in our room, we all fell asleep until late in the afternoon, which showed how tired we all were, as we're up right now

GroundQueen: makes sense since you all were up the whole night lost in a forest with ghost types making all sorts of illusions

SquintyEyes: cause of how late it was when we woke up, all 3 of us decided to just stay at the pokemon center for the rest of the day with most of our pokemon left with nurse joy while we got some of our school work worked on

LivingLegend: how far are three you now?

LivingLegend: since i know you didn't mention anything about school work while in the orange islands ash, and i ddind't see you and misty doing any school work

ChosenOne: that was mainly cause misty & i were taking a break, like a summer vactation break vibe, and with how we were traveling the islands, it was easier to not bother with school work

LivingLegend: that makes sense, and im currently working on my high school senior level school work mow, with that only 1/4th done, so i have at least 3/4th's left before im done with my regular schooling and think of what college level schooling to take

ChosenOne: well brock has at least 2 classes left for him to be a certified breeder, and those 2 classes take the longest anyway, from what he said, while me and misty, we're both almost half done now on our junior high school level, so maybe, by the time before the silver conference, we both will be done with our schooling and only doing extra classes for anything we want to learn, like also collage classes

MovieStar: is there anything else you girls are intrested in?

ChosenOne: so far, we both haven't thought of anything we like yet

SteelRocks: just take your time to decide, since your both still young and not even teenagers yet

ChosenOne: will do, and after we did our school work, we watched some moives, then after getting dinner at the center, we went back to bed, so today, we're all wide awake

ChosenOne: and according to nurse joy when we showed her that pamphlet we were handed yesterday by a local girl when we first got to the city, nurse joy explained about florando city's annual pokemon exhibition for the next few days is an outdoor performance festival that takes place in the town square with many trainers arriving from other regions to compete here

MovieStar: sounds like its similar to showcases with the performance's

DragonMaster: it is in a way, with the appeal round of contests mixed in even for certain performances, as i know florando city does have a contest hall and is considered as one of the two first contest halls coordinators enter, with cherrygrove city as the other contest hall coordinators oppt to enter in first instead

ChosenOne: i might look into contests more later, as right now, my focus is on the gyms

GroundQueen: understandable, and who knows, you might find contests intresting at some point

ChosenOne: maybe

ChosenOne: but for now after we have breakfast, im going to rearange my pokemon, since i know certain ones, mainly my only females kaida, storm, venus, & ella would love the performances more than my male pokemon would, save for maybe kovu, as he is bit of a showoff, but im not sending him over

DragonMaster: hope you all enjoy yourselves, as the florando town festival is quite enjoyable

ChosenOne: we will

ChosenOne: at the festival now with kakashi, venus & ella as my only pokemon out with me, as i have storm and kaida here and in their pokeballs, same with my other pokemon

ChosenOne: and dad, that large building with an orange roof, is that the contest hall? since we didn't see a sign up for it building.jpeg

DragonMaster: it is, and the sign gets removed for when the festivle happens to advertize the festivle betted

SteelRocks: and how is the festival?

WaterGirl: its pretty nice, as we already saw an older girl with a flareon jumping from a flaming hoop, an oddish balancing on an electrode, a man dancing with mankey's that's using double team in a cirlce around him, an alakazam, and my person favorite, a group of water pokemon

MovieSTar: those all so far sound great for a contest appeal and a showcase

ChosenOne: those all were amazinf, and right now we're now watching a pair of bellossom dancing and doing acrobatics

GroundQueen: that's pretty cool and makes me wonder if i sshould teach roserade dancing and acrobatics for fun, as that also sounds like it'd be great for a contest

ChosenOne: that would somvnevo

LivingLegend: 'sigh'

SquintyEyes: what happened was one of the bellossoms was asked to do a trick but failed doign the trick and it landed in ash's arms, which knocked her to the ground, & the girl that was commanding the bellossom ran over to ash to ask if she was alright, with ash handing bellossom back to her as kakashi helped her up

ChosenOne: sorry about that and brock no doubt told you all what happened

OldTimer: he did

ChosenOne: the girl, whose an older teenager brock tried to flirt with before misty stopped him led us to some benchs set up and got us some soda by a bailey's truck as a thanks for catch bellossom, even though it wasn't intended

WaterGirl: she introduced herself as bailey and her 2 bellossom as Bella & Belle, and thanked ash again, while we thanked her for the show, with ash asking her if both bellossom were going to perform the same trick for tommorrow's show

DragonMaster: are they?

WaterGirl: bailey said both bellossom were suppose to, but then said belle has been having trouble performing her special move, when normally she can performe it well, but since arrving to florando city, belle hasn't performed it well

SteelRocks: could be a form of stage fright if she's used to performing it to a small crowd, and having a large crowd makes it harder for her

MovieStar: that would make sense, and im curious if she's also a coordinator, as that dancing sounds similar to what's seen in contests, and showcases

DragonMaster: she might be, or just took insperation from contests for her performance

ChosenOne: and here we thought we could enjoy the festivle in peace, but of course the trio showed up and those 3 might try something tomorrow, since its night now and we're at our room in the pokemon center

DragonMaster: what did those 3 do, since i had reports sent to me about a bulldozer going through florando's streets

SteelRocks: a bulldozer!?

GroundQueen: really?

ChosenOne: they did indeed

OldTimer: what did those 3 do exactly?

ChosenOne: to start, we overheard people walking past us, tallking about the trio as jessie and james decided to use meowth's talking to no doubt make money, and from the disappointment we heard, he got stage fright, followed by hearing people complain about bad jokes, so he must of told some pretty bad jokes that left the crowd booing & leaving

WaterGirl: we also heard those same people complaining & saying how they refused to pay to see a lousy show, with apparently another lousy joke being told as the last of the crowd left

LivingLegend: their show must of been that bad then

ChosenOne: we didn't even need to be there to tell it was bad

DragonMaster: and the bulldozer?

ChosenOne: it was something to show off their dancing dreams, as jesssie looked like one of those, i think samba dancers or flamenco dancers, and james as a ballerina, complete with the tutu

DragonMaster: are you for real?

ChosenOne: yes triooutfits.jpeg

OldTimer: so it is

ChosenOne: i was going to blast the trio away with venus & kakashi, until bailey said she and the other performers wanted to take care of the trio themselves

SteelRocks: how'd they do?

ChosenOne: the trio underestemated the performers, mainly baily, when james and jessie used victrebel and arbok, leading to the trio running off after their two pokemon were put to sleep with sleep powder, which is why we think their going to be up to something tomorrow, as meowth shouted about showing up tomorrow for an encore

LivingLegend: well hopefully, the trio are delt with tomorrow then

ChosenOne: same here

ChosenOne: and the battle looked more like a performing battle than an actual battle

GroundQueen: sounds like a contest battle then, as its more of a showy battle than a league and gym battle is

ChosenOne: it did look showy of a battle, and very intresting too

ChosenOne: so its the next day, the 16th, and last night at bailey's truck she uses to travel and sleep in, she mentioned how much bella and belle love dancing, with togepi, triton, ella, and cinder dancing with both bellosom's, including ella jumping around and dancing with them

MovieStar: that sounded amazing to watch

WaterGirl: it was, as after baily told us her goals, she asked about ours, which we told her, and she even explained how dancing and battling are so similar

OldTimer: they are, as coordinators like to incorporate dancing into their battle rounds to make the battle more impressive to the judges

ChosenOne: bailey even invited us over last night to show us her routine, which we're at right now after getting sleep back at the pokemon center

ChosenOne: and right now her two pokemon are dancing, as venus is also dancing along the best she could with them, including backfliping with belle and bella, twrilling, and even posing

ChosenOne: and apperently cinder and ella started dancing something similar to that, with the same for togepi & triton doign their own version of that same dance, as there was difficulty seen for the latter two

GroundQueen: that sounds so adorable!

ChosenOne: it was, and after some trial and error, togepi & triton managed to do their own version of the routine, with both vulpix's showing to be natural performers by showing off the power of fire and ice

ChosenOne: and while bailey had her bellossom do their special move again, it failed again, so baiey is not having that move in the show

LivingLegend: it sounds like it would of been cool to see

ChosenOne: it would of been

ChosenOne: so the florando exhibition is beginning at a stage that might be an outdoor contest hall even, and the trio must of done something to the announcers since jessie and james are posing as announcers

DragonMaster: while i would offer to help, knowing you 3, you'll be able to handle it, but i can send officer jenny over

ChosenOne: your right dad, jenny bein

ChosenOne: and the meowth just dropped a net onto the performers & their pokemon they told to get on stage and is making off with their pokemon in their meowth balloon

SteelRocks: those bastards!

ChosenOne: to take care of them fast, i sent storm out and had her fly up and pop the balloon by flying through it with steel wing, with the balloon crash landing instead of flying off, leading to the trio crash landing, with storm making sure to grab the net first so the pokemon wouldn't get hurt during the landing

OldTimer: no doubt a battle is going to happen once you get there

ChosenOne: i don't doubt it we're going to run to the crash sight now

ChosenOne: trio blasted off again

DragonMaster: you know the drill

ChosenOne: to sum it, i had venus battling the trio, with her putting bailey's training to use and took down arbok and victreebel, as that was amazing

WaterGirl: bailey even helped in the end with bella and belle with her, with bailey having the two use their special move, which actually worked this time by hitting arbok before it could harm venus

MovieStar: thats great!

ChosenOne: it is, and with the trio blasted away again for now, thanks to venus using thunderbolt and bailey having belle and bella use this tornado twister combination, the fesitval got to continue where it left off, with bailey having belle & bella use that special move on stage, and this time it worked, as petel dance looks to be used in the end

SteelRocks: that's good for bailey and her pokemon

SquintyEyes: we're staying here in the city until the 20th, then heading to our next destination on the map, which is catallia city

DragonMaster: sounds like a plan

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: after a full week or 7 days of traveling, with us slowly making our way to violet city, we made it to catallia city, which is good since we can stock up and get our laundry done withhhhhh

ChosenOne: and a patrol car is sppeding down the street with brock chasing it cause he said officer jenny might be inside it

ChosenOne: and he just tripped over something we couldn't see

LivingLegend: what is it?

ChosenOne: from what we could tell once me and misty caught up, it looks to be a thin web

DragonMaster: i know why that is

ChosenOne: what is it then?

DragonMaster: its from the webs of spinarak, which in this city is the pokemon officer jennys use instead of growliths & arcanines

ChosenOne: that's pretty cool

LivingLegend: same here

WaterGirl: oh joy, a bug type

OldTimer: sounds like theres a story behind it dragon

DragonMaster: theres is a story behind it as to why that is

DragonMaster: the story is about a theif called The Black Arachnid, that had once terrorized catallia city over a hundred years ago, & how it became traditional to use spinarak in catallia city because when The Black Arachnid and his meowth ransacked the town, using payday to scare the police off whenever it seemed like they were about to get captured, until The Black Arachnid was eventually captured by the officer jenny of eight generations ago and her spinarak's web

DragonMaster: ever since, the officer jenny's in that city use the descendants of that very spinarak as their partner pokemon, and do catch their own spinarak's

GroundQueen: thats nice learning the history of other regions

SteelRocks: same here

OldTimer: also same

LivingLegend: even i liked learning this, and even my gym leaders who are with me for a meeting that rose is late to, again

MovieStar: at least you and your gym leaders learned something new about johto

LivingLegend: thats right!

ChosenOen: it is and now misty just encountered a spinarak handing from it web in front of her & is freaking out now

ChosenOne: with me scanning spinarak in, and now having to get misty out of here and deal with brock

ChosenOne: okay, we don't know how this happened, as we were led to the police station

SteelRocks: what happened?

DragonMaster: and what did you three do?

ChosenOne: nothing dad, as somehow, as we were walking, we got caught in a giant ball of web by the spinarak, or at least got caught in their webs near this crime scene we didn't even know that was a crime scene

MovieStar: something also happened didn't it

DragonMaster: no doubt it did

ChosenOne: the police officer arrived with jenny and told jenny we were the thieves, which luckily she didn't buy it we were the theives, as to her, we didn't look like it

OldTimer: at least she didn't jump to conclusions like most jenny's do

ChosenOne: that was nice since she freed us, and apologized to us, then mentioned that black aracnnid you brought up earlier dad, as the crimes were based off of that theif, with misty seeing the crime scene in front of us, and what was left from that payday

ChosenOne: then jenny noticed togepi, triton, & venus, then asked us if were professional pokemon crime fighters, since her sister is the jenny in new bark town & told her about us from the totodile case

DragonMaster: you 3 are NOT professional pokemon crime fighters

DragonMaster: your just 3 trainers who end up getting roped into stuff like this without planning on that, even with brock a legit gym leader, misty a gym leader in training technically, and you a league winner and mini league winner

ChosenOne: we, as in me and misty told her we were not that at all and just 3 trainers that just get roped into stuff like this, as brock was too eager to say we were those crime fighters

SteelRocks: of course brock would do that

WaterGirl: even with us telling jenny that, and her spinkarak showing up, she still told us about the recent crimes to stop this new criminal recreating the black arachnid, and the extra webs in the city was the spinarak making them to catch the thief

ChosenOne: and she told us that same story dad, about the original black aracnid and how her ancestor jenny and her spinarak stopped that theif and his meowth, and her's is the decsendant of that same spinarak

GroundQueen: despite you mentioning that story lance, its always nice to know about it again from a different perspective

LivingLegend: same with me, and for that theif, i'd say its either its a real theif or its the trio recreating this, as they would do that

ChosenOne: im leaning towards the trio, cause one of the evidence found wasn't payday, like what jenny said it was, as when i looked at it, i will admit, i yelled at her when i held one of those to look at it closer, which she yelled at me for tampering with evidence

LivingLegend: what was it? if it wassn't payday

ChosenOne: it was bottle caps

MovieStar: bottle caps?  really?

WaterGirl: really, which that jenny and those officers with her had to question their intelligence on not telling the difference between payday and bottle caps

ChosenOne: here's a picture of the crime scene crimescene.jpeg

OldTimer: yep, those are bottle caps

SteelRocks: that jenny really embarrased herself

GroundQueen: i beleive it even

DragonMaster: same here, as i can't even beleive it

ChosenOne: and obviously james has bottle caps, and knowing us, we offered to help stop the trio

DragonMaster: of course you would, and like always, be careful

ChosenOne: we will

ChosenOne: when we made it to the police station and led to where the other cops are, no surprise, misty was scared as could be

DragonMaster: no doubt the spinarak all over

WaterGirl: YES THERE WAS SPINARAK!

ChosenOne: anyway, with brock being all crazy about being this 'crime fighter' an officer came in about another robbery from this wealthy man, who is the mayor

DragonMaster: that is the mayor, and no doubt heading to his mansion then

ChosenOne: we are right now

ChosenOne: at that mayor's mansion with jenny, and the mayor told her he got a letter sent to him about the black aracnid after his prized trophy

LivingLegend: it must be a nice trophy then to steal it

OldTimer: anything else the mayor said?

ChosenOne: the mayor said the black arachnid was planning on stealing his prized trophy at midnight tonight, and jenny said the original black aracnid sent letters too

GroundQueen: since this is the trio at work no doubt, you planning a taking them by surprise then?

ChosenOne: we are, with me having falkor, vulcan, kovu, venus, vilkus, sobek, & heracross on guard outside the mayor's mansion with amphy, onix, farkas, loki, & volos helping, and so is jenny's spinarak as it made a giant web that's so strong, the trio can't escape

ChosenOne: while itachi and kakashi on the other hand are going to be helping from the shadows to sneak up on the trio outside and inside, so both of them will be with us 3 and jenny inside the mayor's mansion

ChosenOne: while oiutside, loki will be swimming in the pool with amphy, volos in the garden with falkor & venus, heracross hidding in the trees, vulcan near the fountain with a blastoise statuen with kovu with him, and last is sobek, onix, farkas, and vilkus, hiding just around the property

MovieStar: that is a good plan, and with kakashi's bond with you, he can let you know what he and itachi see

ChosenOne: that's right, and heading there now, so we'll let you all know what happened after that, so that means we'll have to chat in the morning then, or very late at night

ChosenOne: well that was an intresting night for us, as its morning now

DragonMaster: how did it go last night for your three ash?

ChosenOne: well midnight passed and there was no trio showing up, but itachi did let us know he found the 3 asleep in the attic when he was floating around inside the house

LivingLegend: at least you knew where they were then

ChosenOne: yeah, and i told jenny that, so she was aware of the trio asleep in the attic

SquintyEyes: however, mayor burst in and was convinced the threat was over once he saw midnight passed and no theft, so he rewarded us with a giant meal to thank us, and we got to keep the leftovers

WaterGirl: then after we ate, the lights went out as the trio appeared from the ceiling with them saying their motto, & revealed what we just found out, they hid in the attic all day when the mayor asked them how their got in & admitted to falling asleep to explain why they didn't show up at midnight

GroundQueen: what happened after that?

ChosenOne: james used 'pay day', which was really him throwing more of his bottle caps, which we collected afterwords cause certain bottlecaps can be worth money according to brock & can be collectables

LivingLegend: of course they are! as i have my own bottle cap collection, a small one that is

ChosenOne: anyway, after james did that, the trio took off with the trophy and escaped in their meowth balloon, but were stopped thanks to spinarak's web above the mansion

OldTimer: thats good

ChosenOne: since the trio were determined to escape, they used 3 large fans to help them escape, with loki's water gun & volos's razor leaf hitting the balloon that caused it to lose air and vulcan fired flamethrower at the balloon, only for the web to get burnt, causing the balloon to spin out of control

ChosenOne: after that, spinarak shot more streams of web to stop the trio by grabbing the bottom of the basket, as i had vulcan tackle into the bottom of the basket, which he already knew tackle, i just forgot to mention he knows it

ChosenOne: anyway, that was enough to send the trio blasting off and nabbing the rest of james' bottle cap collection he dropped, and blasted the trio, with everything the trio stole fall, but didn't it the ground cause us and our pokemon we had out caught everything, with spinarak catching the trophy, as jenny and the police took cared of getting everything stolen returned after we went to the pokemon center to get some sleep

SteelRocks: good she and the police did that, and you three got sleep

LivingLegend: that is an intresting night

MovieStar: i beleive it, as im wondering on seeing if its possible to make a movie or at least a short tv series on the original black arachnid

OldTimer: of course you would

ChosenOne: anyway, it was an intresting night indee, and since we slept a bit late last night, we took the oppertunity to get our laundry taken cared of by nurse joy while we were asleep, then before we left the city, we stopped at a pokemart and get stocked up on supplise

ChosenOne: as when we're leaving, we're leaving the city tomorrow morning, the 22nd, with again jenny telling us everything was returned to their rightful owners when we swung by the police station & wished us luck on our way to violet city, which seems like its taking forever to get there

DragonMaster: it is quite the distance to get to violet city, with rookie trainers usually walking there, where as vetran trainers usually drive there or take a pokemon they can fly on there

ChosenOne: good to know we could of flown there, but we're commited to walking there instead, as after all this

ChosenOne: but good news, heracross did decide on a name, and that is Svend

SteelRocks: that works, and congrats on finding a name he likes

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: not even a full day of leaving the city and we came across a small town called Palm Hills with lots of manisons there, including the largest being this pink mansion

DragonMaster: palm hills has mainly mansions there since its home to mainly those who are wealthy

ChosenOne: misty even sugested those mansions could belong to movie stars, with brock thinking of the different actresses

DragonMaster: there's some actors and actresses that live there but its next to impossible to get near their homes cause they have high amount of security, and their also mainly retired actors and actresses

ChosenOne: good to knowww & a three servants are on the sidewalk behind us, looking for someone

SteelRocks: sounds like a pokemon, as many wealthy people like that tend to pamper their pokemon

WaterGirl: that answers that, so we'll just browse around the town before heading back out

ChosenOne: after looking around the town for not even an hour, misty, togepi, and triton found a map where all the famous people in this town live, mainly the movie stars

MovieStar: i should look that up, to see if anyone i recognize lives there

DragonMaster: there might be

ChosenOne: the only reason brock is intrested is some of his favorite acrtresses live in those houses

LivingLegend: of course

WaterGirl: and now brock is heading to those houses, but then a growlith turned the corner, running towards us, like something unsettleed it

MovieStar: i wonder what unsettled it

WaterGirl: ash went to ask it and apparently a pokemon was biting its tail since while it was thrashing, a pokemon was flung from its tail, which is one we met already, a snubbull, only it had reddish-pink ribbons on it, meaning its a girl snubull

DragonMaster: never heard of a snubull biting the tail of a pokemon before, but since this one has ribbons, one of those rich people there has to be its owner

WaterGirl: as growlith ran off, and then 1 of those servants showed up and called out to some woman her snubbull was found, with the woman, an older and wealthy woman, heading over to us to hug her snubbull, who clearly is not happy with this

GroundQueen: i wonder why

ChosenOne: according to the woman, who introduced herself as madame muchmoney, she said she has been in a state of panic after snubbull ran off the night before, with use 3 being invited to her house for lunch, only according to brock, snubull is not happy & is struggling to get free, clearly not wanting to go home

OldTimer: is she even saying that?

ChosenOne: she is saying she doesn't want to go back home, but nothing else as we're being led to the mansion

ChosenOne: why would snubull want to leave this place?

OldTimer: im guessing the mansion is one those large ones than

ChosenOne: it is, that pink one we were looking at, with the entrence having that moving floor the airport has

GroundQueen: that is fancy

WaterGirl: so is the inside, as its like a palace

SquintyEyes: of course we had to wipe our feet first, while madame muchmoney wiped snubbull's feet, which she wasn't happy about

SteelRocks: that is something

ChosenOne: turns out, there's over 80 rooms here

MovieStar: thats a lot of rooms, and even more than what my parents mansion has

ChosenOne: with an addition to the west wing even

DragonMaster: thats a lot of upkeep

ChosenOne: despite not being given an actual tour, we did get to see snubbull's own wing wing, and not only she has her own bedroom for saturdays to watch cartoons, along with a giant walk-in closet, plus a work out room, a toy room, and even a giant bath that's the size of a swimming pool for bubble baths, with venus, togepi, and triton in the water really enjoying themselves

ChosenOne: which is better than what most people have

LivingLegend: that is better

ChosenOne: though i have a feeling snubbull would rather play in giant yard outside, instead of being cooped up inside the house all day, but madame muchmoney loves snubbull to death and she does take real good care of snubbull, so she's not an abusive trainer

SteelRocks: she deffiantly is not abuive with how much love she has for her pokemon, as she's pampering shubbull quite heavily, only it sounds like snubbull doesn't like the pampering and would rather be outside playing

SquintyEyes: i thougt so, as snubbull was struggling to get free from madame muchmoney's arms the whole time, clearly hating that pampering

MovieStar: not all pokemon hate that kind of pampering brock, as there are pokemon that love that kind of lifestyle

ChosenOne: we'll right now, we're heading to the dinning room for snubbull's lunch time, which is why we're typing right now

ChosenOne: soooooo as we were eating lunch, in the breakfast nook instead of the dining room, snubbull refused to eat

LivingLegend: what was it snubbull was given

ChosenOne: some food only rich people would eat from the looks of it, and looks really good to eat, and tasted good, with only venus, togepi and triton being out and also loving that food

SteelRocks: i should be offended, but i have eaten all that expensive food many times already and it is very tastey

MovieStar: i grew up with that fancy food, and its delicious because the chefs are effeciant in their cooking

GroundQueen: even 5 star restaurants are like that

ChosenOne: when muchmoney asked her chef make something snubbull would eat, the chef said how she never eats anything he makes, with brock taking out his homemade riceballs, and offered those to snubbull & she ate those, with muchmoney ensuring to have riceballs for snubbull

ChosenOne: which is a surprise, as the only one that like brock's riceballs is brock himself, as me, misty, and our pokemon don't even like them

OldTimer: looks like she's a pokemon that preferes simple meals instead of all out fancy meals

ChosenOne: from what all 3 of us can see, mainly brock, snubbull doesn't want to live this life of luxury anymore, & she even said she doesn't like living in luxury

MovieStar: as someone that lived that lifestyle until i ranaway to become a trainer, i can understand why snubbull wantd to leave

ChosenOne: she also said something about a wedding, but i don't know what she meant by that

SteelRocks: that is strange

SquintyEyes: the trio showed up

OldTimer: of course they would

WaterGirl: the trio tried to sneak into the mansion to eaither steal our pokemon or steal from muchmoney herself

DragonMaster: what stopped them?

ChosenOne: snubbull caught them sneaking in the bushes, as she got back outside, and apparently licked meowth in the face, from what one of the servants said as three of them ran to chase the trio and protect snubbull

WaterGirl: then when the 3 servants chased them, snubball apparently latched onto meowth's tail as he was running, with us three stopping the trio, with jessie flinging meowth around to get snubbull to let go of his tail, which she did and was caught by muchmoney

SquintyEyes: james then had weezing use smokescreen to give them a ninja escape from the servants and us, with snubball not happy the trio left

LvingLegend: maybe she wanted to escape with them

ChosenOne: i wouldn't be surprsuised she tried to do that

ChosenOne: then after we went back into the mansion, brock noticed snubbull was unhappy, which she is unhappy, with muchmoney saying she was just nervous

ChosenOne: and its what she said next you would not like auntie dia, since that nearly happened to you

MovieStar: don't tell me that woman is attempting to marry her snubball off

ChosenOne: she is, by calling her a nervous bride, along with being lonely and needed a companion

WaterGirl: she even showed us a picture of an older male snubbull that also belonged to a wealthy person, as that snubbull also is dressed wealthy, meaing snubbull was running away from both the pampering AND the wedding

MovieStar: THAT BITCH!

ChosenOne: knew you would not like that

ChosenOne: and good thing muchmoney said she had to leave with snubbull to see the groom a little while ago and even invited us to the wedding

ChosenOne: which we only agreed to show up for me to reveal i can understand pokemon and translate what snubbull is saying to her on how she doesn't want to be married, as that is what she meant by a wedding earlier

MovieStar: im tempted to head over to palm hills myself and deal with that woman personally for this forced wedding

MovieStar: but since you 3 are handeling it, i won't

ChosenOne: alright

ChosenOne: so we spied on muchmoney and the woman, whose also probably a friend of hers that owns that male snubble name winthrop snubbullfeller, with the two women talking about the wedding with both their snubbulls with them

DragonMaster: that is a rediculus name for that male snubbull

ChosenOne: i agree, with both women completely oblivious to muchmoney's snubbull being unhappy with this snubbullunahppy.jpeg

SteelRocks: she's miserable

GroundQueen: id be unhappy too if i was in a forced marriage

WaterGirl: me too

ChosenOne: same here

MovieStar: im also unhappy with this

ChosenOne: and from what snubbull is saying, she saying 'i dont want to be married!  i want to run in the yard and be on my own!' and also  'dont even like that snubbull!' meaning she doesn't even like that winthrop

GroundQueen: deffiantly noe

ChosenOne: and now, besides brock bursting out of hiding, but diantha is also here in the greenhouse, with gardevoir out, taking both woman by surprise she's here, with both brock and diantha scolding muchmoney for not thinking about what snubbull wants

ChosenOne: which of course the two women were shocked to see the kalos champion and famous movie star show up with her ace

DragonMaster: no doubt she claimed she was thinking about her snubbull

WaterGirl: she did, until diantha made it clear she was only thinking what SHE wants, and about the wedding presents and how snubbull doesn't want that wedding and only muchmoney does

OldTimer: given how diantha admitted she also would of been in a forced marriage herself, until she ran away to become a trianer, so to her, this is personal as she doesn't want snubbull to go through what she almost did

ChosenOne: now she and brock are hounding on muchmoney on how snubbull doesn't want to be pampered, which madame muchmoney is protesting about, cause she was clearly oblivious to how her snubbull really felt, and with brock now saying she wants to be herself but cant due to be constantly smothered

WaterGirl: and now the familiar laughter of the trio is here to no doubt steal snubbull, with meowth's tail as bait

SteelRocks: of course

ChosenOne: and it worked since snubball managed to free herself and latched onto meowth's tail and did another escape trick before we could stop them

MovieStar: even im surprised i wasn't able to stop those 3 in time, as they threw these cuffs that cuffed ash, misty, and brock's ankles when ash and misty ran out to help

MovieStar: and my ankles

DragonMaster: damn

ChosenOne: luckily gardevoir got us freed and now to find the trio

ChosenOne: founf the trio hiding in the shed and delt with the trio, so its late now, but not sunset yet

LivingLegend: did you follow meowth's crying of pain?

ChosenOne: we did, and he also ran out of the shep with snubbull biting his tail again

ChosenOne: aunite even let us take care of them, while she had the honors of blasting the trio

MovieStar: it was nice to see how skilled heracross is getting, as jessie had arbok attack those guards sent out, with james also sending out weezing, leading to ash sending out heracross, who used horn attack on arbok, who landed on meowth with snubbull walking free, like nothing happened and bit arbok on the tail and slithered around in pain

LivingLegend: that snubbull really likes biting tails

MovieStar: she apparently does, which muchmoney was all upset snubbull was being violent and afraid she would get hurt, and was angry on why brock was encouraging snubbull to attack

GroundQueen: no surprise, as muchmoney doesn't want snubbull to attack

MovieStar: i had to make it clear to muchmoney that this is what snubbull likes, with telling her to have snubbull use tackle, which she did, & snubbell used tackle to take down arbok, even with jessing having arbok tackle snubbull back, she was not stopping and even used scary face as that scared arbok, along with jessie and james

DragonMaster: good move too

ChosenOne: snubbull even bit arbok on the tail again, with james sendning out victreebel, with snubbull running on all four's and both tackled and bit victreebel, with it still having james in its mouth, as muchmoney was enjoying seeing snubbull fighting as she flung victreebell and james onto jessie and meowth

WaterGirl: all the while that other rich lady with her snubbul was watching and being snob about snubbull not being dignified

SteelRocks: no surprise there

MovieStar: then the guards ran as the meowth hot air balloon was landing, and when the trio jumpped in there, where instead of ash having heracross blasting the trio, i had gardevior blast them off with focus punch on the basket, which was nice to blast them off ansd see that star shine in the end

DragonMaster: it sure is nice blasting those three

LivingLegend: i agree

ChosenOne: granted snubbull was not happy, even with her being praised and all

ChosenOne: even with us three ready to leave and also diantha back to kalos, muchmoney was worried about snubbull being lonely by herself and get gruppy again

OldTimer: i doubt it

MovieStar: i agreed on that, as i told her snubbull would be fine and if she wants a mate, let it be on her own terms, with muchmoney agreeing to not be so overprotective as before by letting her roam in the play area outside, only i wouldn't be surprised snubbull would trying to runaway again, mainly out of fear muchmoney would go back on her word

DragonMaster: so just incase, don't be alarmed i get a report about a missing snubbull from her

MovieStar: precisly

ChosenOne: and apparently it was fast on the building of an outdoor playing area for snubbull, as she eagerly ran in there, so now we're finally leaving palm springs

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: so after camping out the 22nd after the snubbull deal, and saying goodbye to diantha before she went back to kalos, we spent the 23rd walking, along with wishing brock a happy birthday, as his birthday is today, the 24th

LivingLegend: happy birthday brock!

SquintyEyes: thanks leon

ChosenOne: since me misty wanted to celebrate brock's 16th birthday in a town or city, and so far, it looks like a small city is up ahead, which works

DragonMaster: that sounds like mori city

ChosenOne: okay anddddd

ChosenOne: alright we just saw a bush moving, and something pokemon out of it

SteelRocks: what does it look like?

ChosenOne: it looks like antlers, as it belongs to a pokemon all three of us recognize, a stantler, only it has to be a baby since its quite small

GroundQueen: why would a baby stantler be near the city?

DragonMaster: there's a large park in the city, but stantler usually live in the mountain areas, which even im curious as to why its here

ChosenOne: not sure either, but brock is trying to lure it out by mimiking stantler behaivior 

OldTimer: even i have my limits, and mimicing a pokemon like what brock did is something i wouldn't do

ChosenOne: and he even offered food, and while that didn't work at first, but did, plus stantler even let out this nice sent from its antlers

DragonMaster: QUCIKLY GET OUT OF THE WAY!

ChosenOne: why's thaaaaaaaaa

ChosenOne: okay, found out why cause a herd of stantler suddenly charged at us, until we got outo of the way, and from what brock saw when we ran, the baby stantler retreated back into the bushes, and the heard is also gone

LivingLegend: maybe something happened to it, like its hurt or something and that's why its scared

ChosenOne: it is, as brock saw an injury, and said it looked like its leg was injured, so we're going to try to find it again

ChosenOne: but first the bushes are moving again

ChosenOne: so the bushes revealed an officer jenny walking out, and brock was flirting with her, & she led her back to the station where she had us file a report & even told us the stantler herd have been terrorizing the town for a days now, mainly that park

DragonMaster: got your report and ive been getting reports sent to me from mori city about the stantler

ChosenOne: brocks convinced theres more to this, and it involves stantler's injured leg, & even said he agreed when jenny and misty both said stantler normally live in the mountains

ChosenOne: and then mentioned that herd, and how they dissapeared without a trace

MovieStar: given the species make illusions, maybe that herd was illusions

ChosenOne: i guess

ChosenOne: and now there's a commotion going on outside

SteelRocks: must be the stantler again

ChosenOne: we just saw the the trio being chased, & when they saw us, with them doing their motto while running in place, they admitted they were attempting to capture all the stantler in the park, but ditched the plan when they got chased by the herd

GroundQueen: surprised those 3 would give up right away

LivingLegend: and doing their motto while running in place

ChosenOne: i doubt it

ChosenOne: and the sweet smell is back as THE HERD IS BACK!

ChosenOne: and jenny got me and misty, and our pokemon inside the station as the trio ran off

WaterGirl: BUT BROCK IS STILL OUTSIDE!

OldTimer: brock needs to get out of there before he gets hurt

WaterGirl: ash is telling him that as THE HERD IS HEADING TO BROCK!

DragonMaster: what's he trying to do? get himself killed?

ChosenOne: and the herd just went THROUGH brock!

MovieStar: so the herd was indeed illusions

ChosenOne: and now kakashi is laughing cause he knew those were illusions this whole time & he decided not to say anything for his own amusment

LivingLegend: who knew kakashi had a sense of humor

ChosenOne: that's right, laugh it up

ChosenOne: he also said i could of used my aura to see if those stantler were real or not, which i didnt, which he said was even funnier

WaterGirl: after the stantler illusions went through brock, the illusions faded, with jenny even seeing this, so your probably gonna get a report of this lance

DragonMaster: good to know ahead of time at least

ChosenOne: so what all happened so far

ChosenOne: after brock approached the baby stantler again, who happens to be a boy from when i heard him talking in fear, & brock told stantler he could heal his injury, with him picking stantler up and carrying him into the police station, since thats closer than a pokemon center, with brock bandanging stantler's front leg

ChosenOne: and after stantler's leg was bandaged, he crwaled into brock's lap, and fell asleep sleepingstantler.jpeg

GroundQueen: adorable

WaterGirl: since ash told me kakashi knew those were illusions, jenny asked brock how he knew about the illusions, with him answering her on how he noticed the stantler herd going through the buildings, lightpoles, & other solid objects

ChosenOne: plus brock also explained how he knew what stantler was feeling just through looking in his eyes, which is different as normally i use aura to translate, and stantler must of been too scared to talk to us

SteelRocks: sounds like it

LivingLegend: is brock gonna catch stantler then?

ChosenOne: when i asked him, he said it was best stantler was back with his family, since he's still so young

OldTimer: even i have to agree on that

ChosenOne: some birthday this turned out to be for brock, as we didnt expect this to happen

WaterGirl: ash and i are gonna do what we can to give him a late birthday anyway after stantler is returned

GroundQueen: thats nice of you girls to do that for him

ChosenOne: and now, as he ans jenny we're talking, brock moved stantler and did his usual flirting with jenny, until misty dragged him away by his ear

DragonMaster: of course

ChosenOne: so its morning now, the 25th, and we already went to the forest to release stantler back with his family, only he didn't want to leave brock, and before brock was going to yell at him to leave, i talked to him and explained why it was best for him go back to his family

OldTimer: better option than yelling at stantler, since he's just a baby and already shows his affection for brock after he helped him

ChosenOne: stantler did reluntly leave, but he was still sad to do so

WaterGirl: not gonna lie, if ash didn't do what she did, im pretty sure me and ash would of yelled at brock for yelling at stantler

GroundQueen: i don't blame you girls, as i woudln't of been happy

ChosenOne: got back to mori city and guess what was seen in the distance

OldTimers: an all too familiar meowth balloon no doubt

ChosenOne, WaterGirl, & SquintyEyes: YEP!

SquintyEyes: no doubt their after stantler, so we're gonna head back to the forest to save stantler

ChosenOne: so when we got there, as its only been an hour since all this with the trio happened

ChosenOne: and to start, the trio had this robot mecha called Anti-Stantler number 7 to catch stantler to give him to giovanni, meaning the man might be hiding in johto or if not, at least the johto team rocket branch can be taken down

DragonMaster: and the g-men and i are working on it

WaterGirl: the trio stopped brock, who confronted them, but they stopped him when james pressed a button that shot out spears from the mouth of that mecha that blocked brock from passing through, which aloud the trio to escape

GroundQueen: oh no

MovieStar: how heartless can the trio be to take a baby pokemon?

ChosenOne: meowth twas the only one that showed some remosed cause of stantler's cries, so he knew stantler was a baby

OldTimer: at least he showed some remorse, but not enough

WaterGirl: brock sent onix out to destroy the mecha with tackle and bind, then brock chased the trio in thier balloon, with ash letting kovu out to use thunderbolt on the trio, only it missed cause the balloon was too high up

SteelRocks: at least stantler did get rescued in the end

ChosenOne: he sure did did

DragonMaster: who rescued him?  you guys?

ChosenOne: it was a real adult stantler that did, who lept from a mountain ledge and cutted through the hot air balloon, including the rope & net holding stantler

ChosenOne: and before anyone asks, i sent out falkor to use vine whip to catch the net with stantler in it, onlty stantler fell out, with brock catching him in time

MovieStar: thats good to hear

ChosenOne: after that, it didn't take long for the herd to show up and stantler being returned to his familiy, with the one that showed up to save him was his mom, with the herd heading back to the mountains

ChosenOne: as for us, we're right now back at the city heading to a restaurant to get an early lunch, and then leaving, as we're taking a trail in the mountains that goes to violet city, with that path way suppose to be at least a 3 to 4 day trip

DragonMaster: just be sure to dresss warm, since that path along the mountains can get pretty cold, especially since it snows along the way

ChosenOne: thanks for the heads up dad, as the restaurant and lunch is also me and misty treating brock for his birthday, even though it was 2 yesterday

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: been traveling along this mountain trail since yesterday the 25th, when we left mori city and don't worry, we're all dressed warm in our winter clothes, since it is getting colder the higher up we're getting

DragonMaster: glad to hear that

ChosenOne: i also sent over vikingr for extra warmth, with ella obviously out and enjoying the cold weather, even though were not at the snowy area yet

GroundQueen: not surprising she would love the cold being an ice type

ChosenOne: and ella just noticed somethingggggg its a chikorita

LivingLegend: an abandoned chikorita?

SteelRocks: i hope not

DragonMaster: i dont have any recent reports on abandoned chikorita's

ChosenOne: not likly, since it looks to be a wild chikorita, and also sleeping

SquintyEyes: or sunbathing

WaterGirl: and its giving off this sweet smelling scent

LivingLegend: this is the first i ever of traditional starters being wild, save for sceptile when you met him as a treecko, as he said to you he came from a home with wild treecko's

OldTimer: wild regional starters do happen from time to time, its just rare, where them either being from breeding with other wild pokemon or escape breeding facsilities before they get sent over as a starter, or the more common is having a natural area they can be found in

LivingLegend: that's me taught something new

ChosenOne: i didn't even know that

WaterGirl: me neither

SquintyEyes: same, i didn't know any of this

ChosenOne: im goonna try my hand at catching chickorita after meeting casey's, and cause the chikorita line has always been my fave of the johto starters, and as im approching chikorita, its not scared or anything as it woke up and looked at me by glaring at me, so im having ella battle it

MovieStar: good luck to you both

LivingLegend: and ella is a good choice too

WaterGirl: that chikorita charged as soon as ash sent ella out, with ella countering with powder snow on chikorita to slow it down, only it didn't slow down, with chikorita using razor leaf at ella who shot the leaves down with swift & quickly used tackle to takle the stunned grass type

SteelRocks: good for ella!

WaterGirl: and now ash threw a pokeball at chikorita

LivingLegend: new pokemon

SquintyEyes: not exactly, as it used its head leaf to hit the pokeball back

OldTimer: its tougher than it looked then

SquintyEyes: and what it did next

GroundQueen: how so?

SquintyEyes: apparently one of chikorita's egg move might be vine whip, since it used that to catch ella off guard as it used vine whip to hit ella's head, which knocked her back, showing chikorita is not ready to backdown

WaterGirl: while i find this overkill, ash now let vikingr out & her also quickly grabbing ella as vikingr went foward to take on chikorita, who charged at him as he held it back with his hand as it kept running, but not moving

SquintyEyes: and now chikorita used vine whip again to get vikingr to let go, as ash called for him to used a new move he normally doesnt, which is flame burst, and alsmost hit ash & ella with it as that vine whip grabbed him by the foot and brought him backwords

SteelRocks: how close was ash and ella to getting accidently burned?

WaterGirl: very close as vikingr move his head to avoid the two, with ash jumping to the saide to avoid her and ella being hit with flame burst

WaterGirl: and now chikorita fire razor leaf at him, which vikingr burned those with ember, then when chikorita went to tackle him in the chest with lots of force behind it, it caused them both to get knocked into the side of the mountain

DragonMaster: are both vikingr and chikorita okay?

ChosenOne: vikingr is fine with more of a briused ego on how a first stage grass type was able to injure him, with me returning him, where as for chikorita, it was struggling to stand until it passed out from exhaustion, so we're taking it to the pokemon center thats nearby on the mountain trail instead of me catching it

ChosenOne: got chikorita to the center and after being treated, nurse joy said she'll be fine after getting some rest, since joy said chikorita is a girl

LivingLegend: thats good to know shes alright then

OldTimer: sound like something else happend

ChosenOne: there was, cause when we were getting to the center, chikorita woke up and when i tried to calm her down, she bit me in the arm in anger, which joy saw and treated

SteelRocks: why would she do that?

ChosenOne: according to joy, she said the wild chikorita in this area are stubborn and relentless in battle, which makes her perfect to join my team of pokemon

DragonMaster: this is the first i ever heard of the wild chikorita's in that area being more on the aggressive side, since normally their very docile

ChosenOne: and now an ambulance pulled up here and 2 paramedics rushed in

MovieStar: i wonder why those paramedics are there

DragonMaster: given how i had a report sent to me about a stolen ambulance not too long ago, i can give you 3 guesses

GroundQueen: the trio

ChosenOne: it is cause not only i said i knew it was them, mainly jessie's long hair, they removed their disguises & did their motto, with james having weezing use smog so they could escape with chikorita and the ambulance

ChosenOne: message back when i get back from rescueing chikorita

WaterGirl: and ash forgot her pokeballs before she ran out

SteelRocks: if itachi is still with her & out of his pokeball, then he might be hiding in her shadow and she has her aura

MovieStar: and kakashi would also be with her even with also using the shadow to travel

SquintyEyes: the two already did, as her other pokemon are still being healed, which is why their not with

ChosenOne: its been a while, and the trio has been stopped for now

DragonMaster: what all happened?  since misty said you ran out so fast you forgot your pokeballs

SteelRocks: and brock saying the reason si beacuse they were still being treeated

ChosenOne: yes on the treating part, and i didn't mean to but i had kakashi with and itachi was hiding in my shadow so he was also with me

ChosenOne: as for what happened, i clung to the ambulance the trio stole after i jumped on top of it from a cliff

DragonMaster: THATS DANGEROUS!

ChosenOne: it was only after i did that i realize it was dangerous, since it was a mountain cabin the trio took the ambulance to, which was when i realized i didn't have my pokeballs, but at least i had greninja and gengar with me

ChosenOne: from what itachi saw when he snuck in from the shadows to spy on thr trio, they were trying recruit chikorita and even had a contract for her to sgin

LivingLegend: that is something

ChosenOne: it was and when i interupted them, it was by throwing snowballs at them, while itachi & kakashi scaring the trio from behind, and with that discraction, i grabbed chikorita, only meowth triggered a trap that had me, kakashi, & chikorita caught, since itachi is a ghost and wasn't able to be grabbed

OldTimer: i don't like the sound of where this is going

ChosenOne: when the trap fired, it caused us 3 to go over a hill till we were going down in a snowball, with me holding chikorita while kakashi held on to me as we bounced off of trees on the way down until i think we rampped off a hill and into a tree, breaking free of the trap and hitting the ground, with us 3 buried in the snow, which was a good thing cause it hid us from the trio who were in hot pursuit

DragonMaster: i better not get high blood pressure from this!  or get gray hair early

ChosenOne: i don't mean for this to happen!

ChosenOne: at least i still had my winter jacket on before i ran after the trio, that way i didn't get frostbite

DragonMaster: at least that's good

ChosenOne: once the trio left the area, itachi found us, as we're now making our way back to the pokemon center & chikorita ran off again & she dissapeared!

GroundQueen: that is one stubborn pokemon

ChosenOne: you got that right queen

ChosenOne: and now its starting to snow, and its getting dark

OldTimer: find a cave and get a fire going so you can stay warm until the storm passes

ChosenOne: will do timer

ChosenOne: well that was eventfull, with chikorita now with us in the cave we found

DragonMaster: no doubt something happened between that

ChosenOne: it did dad

ChosenOne: first itachi found a cave for us to wait in as kakashi got some branches together for itachi to use will-o-wisp to get a fire started, as he learned that status move not that long ago

MovieStar: and chikorita?

ChosenOne: i ran out to find her, with kakashi with me as itachi stayed in the cave to keep the fire going, where after a while, we both found her, & she was freezing from the cold

SteelRocks: no surprise she was cold

ChosenOne: when she saw me, she jumped into my arms as kakashi carried us both back to the cave, since he's that fast, and now we're waiting out the weather & from what its looking, it looks like we're staying the night in the cave

DragonMaster: just stay warm

ChosenOne: chikorita is in my jacket to stay warm, while kakashi and itachi are on both sides of me to keep me warm, and good think itach is a ghost and doesn't need sllep, as he can stay up to keep the fire going

ChosenOne: made it through the night, and we're back at the pokemon center now, and while there was a trio encounter, chikorita helped itachi and kakashi in blasting them off, as misty, brock, & nurse joy found us shortly after

MovieStar: thats the best part

SteelRocks: blasting the trio, & being found

ChosenOne: i admit it was, with nurse joy treating chikorita for any lasting damage from the cold

ChosenOne: as for kakashi and itachi, both of them were fine, with me also fine, but joy pretty stern on us having to stay the rest of the day at the center to make sure both me and chikorita were both feeling okay, so we're not leaving till at least the 29th

GroundQueen: thats good at least

ChosenOne: and chikorita even decided she wanted to come with me, so i have another new pokemon

LivingLegend: even better! and officialy new pokemon!

ChosenOne: as for chikorita's ability, its overgrow, with her having three egg moves, vine whip that's unlocked, then locked is leaf storm & by surprise ancient power

DragonMaster: ancient power is a surprise egg move

ChosenOne: and for what she knows besides razor leaf, vine whip, & tackle, its no surprise sweet scent, with her knowing four other attacks, being charm, poison powder, headbutt, and magical leaf

OldTimer: not bad, and given joy said chikorita in that area are more agressive, no surprise she knows lots of attacks already, and got an egg move unlocked

ChosenOne: i know falkor can help her out, and so can volos, so talk later

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: since nurse joy told us the closests city was cherrygrove city and how its at least a weeks worth travel from the mountai trail by foot, and only a matter of hours by flight, so i got storm and kaida with so we could leave the mountain trail

DragonMaster: i don't blame you three after what you had to deal with on getting chikorita

ChosenOne: when we got there, since we left early in the morning at after 7, it was almost noon, so brock started making us lunch when we found a place to be at, while i polished my pokeballs, including the gs ball

SteelRocks: always good to keep your pokeballs well vcared for

MovieStar: mainly since most trainers won't do that

DragonMaster: just be careful where your at, since in that area there's a Quagsire Preservation Restrictions there, cause the quagsire are very special to the people of cherrygrove city by helping on identifying the cleanest water area

OldTimer: so no catching it sounds like

DragonMaster: thats correct

WaterGirl: and now, just as ash went up to go eat, a pokemon her pokedex said is called a quagsire appeared from the water and cause its a water type, plus thanks for the heads up on the restrictions lance, cause i was gonna catch it

DragonMaster: glad to at least warn you ahead of time

ChosenOne: thanks to your warning dad, misty was not going to catch qaugsire, but she did scan it with her pokedex and brocks since he was cooking, while psyduck came out of his pokeball and what it looked like, it was like the two pokemon had a mental connection as i too scanned in quagsire

ChosenOne: complete with a butterfree flying past

LivingLegend: thats really strange and creepy

ChosenOne: well misty grabbed psyduck and THE QUAGSIRE STOLE THE GS BALL!

GroundQueen: thats not good!

WaterGirl: ash had kakashi  chase it down in the water and even called for him use water gun to hit quagsire enough during the chase for it to let for of the gs ball as venus grabbed it with her feelers, with quagsire looking upset at this as it used water gun on kakashi right back, but that didn't do anything to him

ChosenOne: and now officer jenny showed up and brock is flirting with her, and is now saying were all under arrest for those quagsire protection rights!

ChosenOne: and even threatened to send us 3 to prison for a long time!

WaterGirl: and she also tazed brock when he tried to flirt with her again!

DragonMaster: let me take care of this you 3

ChosenOne: left the station with that jenny dropping the charges

SteelRocks: thank arceus for that mess being cleared up

ChosenOne: and thanks dad for dealing with her, since professor oak didn't answer the phone when she called him when i said he's my sponsor, as she didn't belive me when he didn't answer, as tracey did answer and while he said oak is my sponsor and he was at a conference in paldea that was supposed to be next month was reschedualled for this month, which no doubt she didn't beleive tracey either on oak being my sponsor

ChosenOne: and the look on her face when you called her instead dad, and yelled at her for arresting two of your kanto gym leaders and your daughter

DragonMaster: anytime ash

GroundQueen: thats not right for oak to answer, since he's suppose to answer the call, but given he's out of town and the region, he gets a pass on this

ChosenOne: before dad called, when she kept threatning to send us 3 to prison for a long time, she even added on having all our pokemon confiscated, including our trainers liscens revoked indefiantly

LivingLegend: talk about a total bitch of a jenny, even with her being protective of the quagsire, that's still too far

OldTimer: even when your not expecting it, you still encounter those officer jenny's that take their job way too serious, to the point they do arrest those who are innocent, with those victims getting their lives ruined, as those jenny's that do that usually never face the consequeneces of their actions, unless the victims have high connections, then those jenny's suffer

MovieStar: and in the case of you 3, dragon is your high connection, the regional champion

ChosenOne: he is, as what also happened after that jenny couldn't get ahold of oak and tracey answering instead, that's when dragon called her and before he yelled at her, she called us criminals for 'attempting to catch a quagsire', as she even braiged about it on how she stopped the 3 poachers that were rummored to be in the area

WaterGirl: thats when dragon not only yelled at her, he even threanted her job by revealing me and brock are both kanto gym leaders, which she was willing to drop the charges on both me and brock immidiantly cause we're both gym leaders

SquintyEyes: thats when jenny, probably the first one i dont even like, rounded on ash and was going to give both our prison sentences to her prison sentence, until dragon said she's his daughter and threatened lagal action against that jenny, plus removal of her job as a different jenny will take her place instead

SquintyEyes: which was what got her to back off, especially when lance said it was over ONE quagsire that she had a hissy fit over, when all we were doing there was just having lunch and getting the gs ball back

SquintyEyes: after that, she had no choice but let us all go, now knowing her job was on the line

SteelRocks: good, as she deserved that

WaterGirl: then she talked about the same thing dragon said earlier about the quagsire of cherrygrove city & how the quagsire that took the gs ball grabbed it cause it was round

LivingLegend: what does that have to do with quagsire taking the gs ball anyway?

ChosenOne: she said how at the same time every year, the quagsire swim from their home at blue moon falls & take all sorts of round object & swim upstream with them at night, then send the objects back down the river again, as a way to bring good luck & pure water, as it all ends in the morning when all the round objects return, with the last object supposed to be the luckiest one to return

SteelRocks: that is an intresting festival

LivingLegend: i wonder if nessa would like seeing this festivel

DragonMaster: it is nice to watch, as i have before, and it does often brings in poachers being after the quagsire due to the large amount of them present, even with the protection, those poachers won't stop at nothing

ChosenOne: good to know since jenny said there were rumors of poachers in the area

OldTimer: i wouldn't be surprised its the trio that are those poachers

DragonMaster: same here

ChosenOne: THAT SAME QUAGSIRE TOOK THE GS BALL FROM MY BACKPACK NOW!

GroundQueen: talk about one determind quagsire

WaterGirl: and that was AFTER she made it clear to that quagsire the gs ball is a pokeball, as that pokemon STILL didnt want to listen to her, not even when she offered an empty pokeball for it to use instead, the gs ball was the one the quagsire wanted

WaterGirl: not even when she sent chikorita out to deal with the quagsire jumping on to her, & while chikorita fought back as she spun her head leaf, from what its looking, chikorita might have a crush on ash when she was clinging to her

LivingLegend: is chikorita into females then?

WaterGirl: i don't think so, since she might think ash is a boy, so thats something that'll need to be explained to her later, ash is a girl and not a boy

OldTimer: how did those quagsire even grab the gs ball from her backpack anyway?  since that still wasn't answered

SquintyEyes: that was on our way from the station to get some lunch in the city as jenny prevented us from eating, when first at the station, we had to deal with the same quagsire wanting the gs ball, then when we were going to get lunch, a differnet one took a round object from the bridge, with the same one after the gs ball showing up again

SteelRocks: again, talk about determined

SquintyEyes: that was when ash rejected that quagsire again and offered a plain empty pokeball, which it refused that and jumped onto her, which was when she let chikorita out, as me, misty & kakashi were doing what we could to pull that quagsire off of ash

MovieStar: and that is when chikorita attacked it with her head leaf

SquintyEyes: thats right, as she attacked quasire a second time when it grabbed ash's back again and she ran with quagsire clinging to her back and chikorita chasing the two, leading to quasire managing to open ash's backpack and the gs ball getting flung out, and quagsire grabbing it and jumping into the water and began swimming upstream

SquintyEyes: which now is what lead to ash chasing it after she recalled chikorita to follow it for the gs ball, after dealing with chikorita being very clingy to her

DragonMaster: just wait until morning, as the gs ball will return with the other round objexts

ChosenOne: i know dad, just with those poachers, and the trio, i dont want to risk losing the gs ball

ChosenOne: so we followed the quagsire upstream all the way to sunset, as its night now, and apparently, so are the trio, since all of us stopped at a rope bridge to catch our breaths, as that quagsire dissapeared, and we were going to do what you said dad and wait

DragonMaster: don't tell me those 3 are indeed the rumored poachers

ChosenOne: there actually not even here to steal the quagsire

SteelRocks: thats a releif then

ChosenOne: jessie & james explained they were only chasing the quagsire for their pokeballs back & meowth is chasing them cause they took a round cat toy he was playing with, plus the 3 even said they had no intrest in the quagsire anyway, as giovanni already had a few as gym pokemon from when he was still gym leader and didn't want any more

LivingLegend: at least the trio won't be a problem then

ChosenOne: it is

WaterGirl: and triton just alerted us as he saw a whole group of quagires carrying various round objects upstream, meaning we're still following those pokemon upstream, mainly pokeballs, the ones belonging to the trio, as we ran ahead of the trio

ChosenOne: and when we ran, which is where were at now, its that lake where the quagsire are all gathered

GroundQueen: that helps

ChosenOne: we even see the one with the gs ball, & yes, were not going to do anything, just watching to not lose sight of the one that took the gs ball

DragonMaster: good

ChosenOne: been a little while, as they're all doing something

OldTimer: what is it their doing?

ChosenOne: there stareing into the sky, like their waiting for something to happeeeEN THE ACTUAL POACHERS ARE HERE!

DragonMaster: need my help?

WaterGirl: we shouldn't since ash and brock are mainly battling the poachers, who are snatching the quagsires but are having trouble cause of their slippery skin, with those poachers using nets to make it easier to grab the quagsires

WaterGirl: im also helping my having amphy free style the battle as she's swimming in the lake, and also loki

ChosenOne: i have kakshi taking care of tghe nets with his water shurikens, while the the uncaught quagsires are helping us by throwing rocks at the poachers

MovieStar: were the poachers taken cared of?

SquintyEyes: they were, with kakashi using ice beam to freeze them in place while vulcan and kaida flew the 3 poachers towards the city for jenny to deal with, while the trio left with their pokeballs

DragonMaster: at least the trio were not causing trouble this time, as those poachers will be delt with

ChosenOne: same, with us 3 and our pokemon we had out are now watching the quagsire swim upstream again, so following them again

ChosenOne: we folloed tbe quagsire till they were all at the blue moon falls, with the actual moon the color blue

MovieStar: that sounds beautiful

ChosenOne: it was, with the quagsire now throwing their objects into the air and using water gun to send the objects flying up the falls and back down it into the lake and down the stream

SteelRocks: sounds like a water gun shooting compititon then

SquintyEyes: it does, like their shooting towards  the moon

ChosenOne: and the way the their doing this is leaving blue sparkles behind, and thats also so preetty

GroundQueen: sounds like something one would see in a contest appeal

WaterGirl: and now the quasire with the gs ball fired water gun at the gs ball after throwing it, with that being the highest, with that quagire really proud of itself as the others are cheering it

WaterGirl: and now another chase of following the gs ball down the stream

ChosenOne: its morning now, with us back in town, as the towns people and jenny were there awaiting for the objests, including the trio in disguises

ChosenOne: and when everyone, even the trio were getting their stuff back, jenny grabbed the gs ball before it floated away as she handed it to me, since us three had to run all the way back here, as im the one with the most luck now, as the gs ball was the last object back, with the crowd clapping for me

ChosenOne: granted im still mad at her for her accusations and all, and the prison sentence threat

DragonMaster: understandable, since i made it very clear to her any more instances of her jumping to conclusions without evidence will get her termanated

DragonMaster: at least the actual poachers were caught

ChosenOne: same, with us staying the rest of the day and night at the center before leaving in the morning, as we wanted to expolre the town, and get some supplises, as violet city is getting closer

GroundQueen: did it get explained to chikorita your a girl and not a boy?

ChosenOne: yes it was, and while she didn't want to beleive it at first, my pokemon confirmed im a girl, not a boy, which she was embarrased about, and the should at least calm her down

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: after an intresting week of not being on the chat, we finally made it to violet city, only its late at night when we arrived

LivingLegend: that took over a month to get to the city even

ChosenOne: that was quite the travel to the city though, as pewter city was so short

MovieStar: what all happened during the week?

OldTimer: must of been intresting

ChosenOne: where to start.......

ChosenOne: to start, the day after we left cherrygrove city we came across the trio again

GroundQueen: of course

ChosenOne: then when we were crossing the bridge the trio were hiding, it collapsed, and while we would of crossed by having kakashi get us across one by one, this teenaged girl named arielle with this group of ledyba offered to get us across with her group of pokemon, whom she controls with a whistle, which also meant a new pokemon i scanned in, and so did brock and misty

GroundQueen: that takes a lot of training to do that on getting ledyba trained with a whistle

WaterGirl: then of course the trio did one of their diguises to steal our pokemon and the ledyba, with jessie even stealing the whistle, who then followed jessie cause she still had the whistle when we blasted them off

SquintyEyes: we helped arielle find her ledyba with zubat's help with no luck, until not even an hour later we followed the scent arielle said ledyba give off when in danger, leading us to the area the trio and the ledyba were at, & after dealing with being netted by the trio, the ledyba listened to commands ash gave without the whistle

SteelRocks: thats good

ChosenOne: in the end, the trio & their pokemon were blasted away, with us saying goodbye to arielle and her ledyba as we continued on to violet city

OldTimer: what else happened after than

ChosenOne: not much, save for one other main thnig that took place 2 days later when we stopped at the pokemon center in happy town for the night, with us very hungry and sore feet, which granted the doors were locked until a blissey opened it

DragonMaster: don't tell me, the blissey that's there ended up injuring you 3 cause of how clumsy she is, as i had my experience there before, as blissey tried to 'help' me get my own injuries treated once and injured me more

ChosenOne: yes, thats what happened and while we did get hurt by blissey when she was getting us food to eat, who in return did help us in her eagerness, only to injure us more, until nurse joy woke up and treated our injuries herself, and at the same time, all three of us scanned in blissey, so new pokemon

SteelRocks: you have to admit, thay joy certainly has the pactience when it comes to blissey and her helpfulness

DragonMaster: she does, as despite the extra injuries i got, i couldn't be mad at blissey cause she was only trying to help, just not in the best way

ChosenOne: and of course, the trio showed up in the middle of the night to steal food from the pokemon center, only for blissey to recognize jessie, leading to jessie explaining to james and meowth how when she was younger she wanted to become a pokemon nurse, just like the nurse joy clan on treating both pokemon & humans, but couldn't get into a regular nursing school, with her saying the main reason was cause she wasn't part of the joy clan, so she couldn't be a 'nurse joy' in a sense

OldTimer: thats not entirely true, since while generally pokemon nurses are of the joy clan, there are plenty pokemon nurses that are not part of the joy clan, they just dress like their part of the joy clan to make it easier for the pokemon, with it more noticable in paldea than any other region

MovieStar: you can usually tell which nurses are not part of the joy clan cause those women don't have the same faces as the joy clan themselves, despite dressing alike and usually wearing wigs like nurse joy if they don't have the same pink colored hair

LivingLegend, SquintyEyes, WaterGirl, & ChosenOne: i didn't know that!

OldTimer: well now you 4 youngsters know that

DragonMaster: sounds like something fishy happened as to why jessie couldn't become a nurse, & given her file is here, ill look into her background to see if something fishy was going on that she didn't know about

ChosenOne: if you find something dad, ill let jessie know when i get the chance to

ChosenOne: anyway, jessie told meowth & james she still wanted to be a nurse, so she decied to join the pokemon nurse school only for chansey, even when told not to cause she's human, with her as the only human in a class full of chansey, where she was decent as a nurse and even both helped and befriended a clumsy chansey that kept messing things up, which is this blissey here

ChosenOne: the downside was jessie could not resist chansey's Sing and fell asleep when she was supposed to be the one singing to sick and injured pokemon, with her instructor not happy about that, leading to her failing to graduate, while chansey did

GroundQueen: at least the two got see each other again years later

ChosenOne: thats right, with blissey even giving the the trio all the food from the center storeroom, even when jessie said not to and only at least one box will do, blissey insisted cause she wanted to help her friend, leading to the trio being caught by us and joy

SteelRocks: did any fighting happen?

WaterGirl: none did, with us telling the trio kakashi caught the trio sneaking in and heard jessie's story and told ash, who told us and nurse joy

ChosenOne: we told the jessie with how misty & brock are gym leaders we can get in contact with champion lance to see if he has the time to see why she was denied going to a regular nurseing school, cause of how fishy it sounded on why she was denied

DragonMaster: again, i can look into it, since its not that difficult cause her file is on record from when the viridian team rocket based was raided, we got all the files of every team rocket member there is, same with james' file

ChosenOne: again dad, if you find anything, we can let jessie know

ChosenOne: after that, the rest of the time was peacful, with jessie catching up with blissey, then in the morning, we all parted ways, with the trio given 2 boxes of food, which was insited on nurse joy and blissey, making the rest of the traveling to violet city quite peaceful

ChosenOne: morning everyone!

LivingLegend: morning chosen!

ChosenOne: after we had breakfast at the pokemon center, we went exploring around the city before me and misty have our gym battles when ella, who was smelling some flowers got attacked by 2 school kids, with ella having to use powder snow to get the 2 to let go of her, which they both did as i quickly grabbed her

ChosenOne: the 2 kids then said they thought she was a wild and shiny vulpix, only for their school teacher, who introduced herself as miss priscilla, to run out and scold both of them, for not being in class, & even saying their names were Lizzy & Zackie

MovieStar: no doubt brock flirted with the teacher

ChosenOne: he did, which i yanked on his ear to get him to knock it off

DragonMaster: you 2 must be over by Earl's Pokemon Acadamy, a school for children under 10 who get taught their basic schooling and pokemon training to help them when they become trainers when theoir older

WaterGirl: brock even volunteered us 3 to show miss priscilla's students all the pokemon we have with us, which the students were excited about, so mine and ash's gym battles will have to be on hold until after all this

ChosenOne: so as were talking to the students in the classroom, and got to meet earl, whose quite the character

DragonMaster: he sure is

WaterGirl: brock even joined in earl and his 'dancing'

MovieStar: how embarrasing

ChosenOne: it was, as togepi, triton, & ella also began immitating that dancing

ChosenOne: and for the students, i did tell them them i won the recent indigo league, beat the elite 4 and battled the champion, but in the end, despite being thrilled seeing a league wiiner, they were more excited when misty & brock revealed their both kanto gym leaders

OldTimer: that sucks

ChosenOne: it did, & that boy zackie, he clearly has an attitude to him and wasn't convinced a girl could win the league, defeat the elite 4, and almost beat the champion, and then asked why he and his classmates should listen to a girl

LivingLegend: that kid sounds exactly like gary, only younger

ChosenOne: i know!

SquintyEyes: before things escalated, misty quickly suggested we'd all go outside to show our pokemon to the students

SteelRocks: good idea after what that little snot said to ash

ChosenOne: and its all our pokemon, as misty is getting her pokemon from the gym sent here and me from the lab, just for today though, with us borrowing the school transporters

ChosenOne: so when we showed off all our pokemon we have with us, the students all enjoyed seeing the johto & kanto pokemon, and me saying the pokemon themselves instead of their names, brock's pokemon onix, bulbasaur, kanto vulpix, geodude, & zubat

ChosenOne: then misty's togepi, wartortle, starmie, staryu, poliwag, psyduck, kingler, goldeen, & seadra, followed by mine being chikorita, heracross, charizard, pidgeot, tauros, dragonite, & gengar, with many loving the hugs kaida gave them

GroundQueen: makes sense since their kanto and johto pokemon, so those are familair pokemon to the students

DragonMaster: and the dragonite hugs

ChosenOne: when we showed our other pokemon outside of those two regions, brock's being his midnight lycanroc, misty's being milotic & phione, then mine being greninja, infernape, sceptile, sylveon, krookodile, luxray, dusk lycanroc, & alolan vulpix

WaterGirl: and playing with out various pokemon, like climbing on onix and petting vilkus and farkas, who both were wagging their tails enjoying the petting, and even

ChosenOne: that was when the students were asking so many questions about what pokemon they were, with the reactions to vikingr, falkor, & kakashi also being regional starters, venus being a fairy type form of eevee, vilkus & farkas being from a branched evolution pokemon from alola, & ella not being a shiny but instead a regional varient also from alola being the most notiable

MovieStar: not surprising the students are the most intrigued by those pokemon, since those pokemon they never saw before so anyone would be curious

ChosenOne: so, when miss priscilla was telling me, misty, & brock about this Sprout Tower after brock saw it, & how its main support beam sways back & forth like a bellsprout & even invited us to go with the class on a feild trip to the tower, which we all agreed to going

DragonMaster: i've been to the sprout tower before and its quite the sight

ChosenOne: i don't doubt it, only as we were talking to miss priscilla, that boy zackie went over to ella and asked her to be his pokemon and forget about me

OldTimer: that's not right, since ella was only a baby when you got her, resulting in her imprinting on you, no matter how much that child wants her to be his, it won't work

LivingLegend: and she's YOURS, not his

ChosenOne: no doubt ella even made it clear she didnt want to be his pokemon & even said im her parent, which was in pokemon speach, so he didn't understand her, which that child clearly didn't care by saying he'll just take ella and pounced on her

SteelRocks: that boy sounds like a spoiled brat whose used to getting his way all the time

ChosenOne: i think so too, with ella responding by using powder snow on zackie, which got him to back off from getting cold snow on him, which was when i saw part of what happened and ella filled me in on the rest when i checked on her

ChosenOne: when i asked zackie why he pounced on ella, he screamed at me and demanded i give ella to him, complete with him having tantrum like the toddlers i sometimes saw in the general store pallet town had, by having temper tantrums to get their way, and even in stores we stop at in various towns and cities

GroundQueen: defiantly a spoiled child to the fault

ChosenOne: after i refused to give ella to him, and called him a whiny toddler throwing a temper tantrum, that brat in his anger took one of my plain empty pokeballs and decided he was going to catch ella with it

DragonMaster: that child cleary either didn't know ella is already a caught pokemon and using a pokeball on a caught pokemon doesn't work, or he's that arrogant to where he doesn't care

ChosenOne: at this point, either one works, with zackie starting to chase after ella & before i got the chance to recall her, she ran, which luckily brock saw that and told miss priscilla about what zackie tried to do, and how i'll take him to the sprout tower after i got him and ella, with me recalling my pokemon expect kakashi

ChosenOne: it was quite the chase when i caught up to zackie, who was holdign the pokeball and being very arrogant on saying he caught ella

LivingLegend: he didn't catch her, it was a random wild pokemon he caught instead

ChosenOne: thats right cause i saw ella sneaking over to me from some nearby bushes when zackie wasn't looking, and when i got his attention, he saw ella over by my feet and letted out the pokemon he caught

MovieStar: what did he catch?

ChosenOne: a bellsprout

GroundQueen: thats not bad, as james has that victreebel

ChosenOne: only he whined when bellsprout tried to befriend him cause he wanted ella to be his pokemon

OldTimer: that boy really is something

ChosenOne: really spoiled & annoying, that's for sure

DragonMaster: ash!

DragonMaster: take the kid and head to the sprout tower immidiatly!

ChosenOne: whats wrong?

DragonMaster: brock & misty both pmed me on a fire breaking out at the sprout tower due to some high schoolers starting a fire, but nothing else about it

ChosenOne: OMW!

DragonMaster: SAME HERE!

LivingLegend: i hope everyone's okay

OldTimer: we all do

DragonMaster: the fire has been taken cared of, with the sprout tower severly damaged to where there's a 50-50 chance it might have to be demolished because of the severe damage to it

DragonMaster: sprouttowerdamage.jpeg

OldTimer: a place like that should of never been damaged in the first place

GroundQueen: no doubt its part of johto & violet city's history

MovieStar: where those teenagers found dragon?

SteelRocks: any injuries to report?

LivingLegend: what about ash? did she get there in time to help?

DragonMaster: to answer, there was no deaths luckily, with everyone in the building evacuated in time, even the trio dressed as tourists, as they made it clear they had nothing to do with this and were sight-seeing

GroundQueen: thank arceus for that on everyone escaping, and its not the trio that did this

DragonMaster: i made sure miss pricsilla notified all the parents of her students about this so the parents could get there to check on their kids, while ash, she got there in time by riding kaida with zackie with her, who was dropped over by his parents as ash joined the fire fighting team with all the water types me and misty have with, as kakashi aided the fire fighters on taking out the blaze, which was a good thing there was so many water types to take out the fire

OldTimer: thats good to hear dragon

DragonMaster: as for those high schoolers that started the fire, they were found nearby, & were boasting about starting the fire, and not only they were all cutting school, it was also found the group of 10 were all smoking pot & all drinking alchol, since that explains why they did this, cause they were high on drugs & the underage drinking, so they weren't even thinking straight to begin with

DragonMaster: which me, officer jenny, the other police officers, & falkner, since this is a gym city, made sure those teenagers were kept far away from the young children & had their parents notified to what they all did after they were arrested

SteelRocks: no doubt their parents were not happy with what they all did

DragonMaster: they were not happy when the parents arrived

DragonMaster: not only all the teenagers were being yelled at by their parents for what they all did, it was decided by me all 10 of them were going to be facing 30 years in prison for doing so much damage to the sprout tower, all because they thought it would be funny in their drunken pot infused heads to set a historical site on FIRE!

MovieStar: do those teens even realized what they did? or are they to drunk and high to figure it out?

DragonMaster: their being sent to the city jail to sober up to see if they have remorse or not, and if any do, there will be a lesser scentence for those ones, and if the tower can be saved, then aiding in the clean up

GroundQueen: good

LivingLegend: why would those teenagers do that?

DragonMaster: its a question many people always wonder

ChosenOne: sorry to interupt, but zackie is whining to his parents about how he's demanding them to given him ella and have me take bellsprout, since he still wanted ella to be his pokemon instead of mine

DragonMaster: dont worry about apologizeing, & ill head over and deal with this

ChosenOne: well, zackie got into big trouble with his parents for not only attempting to steal ella from me, he also got in trouble for stealing one of my pokeballs, despite it being empty

GroundQueen: good, cause he needed to get in trouble for what he did

DragonMaster: not only his parents realized how badly they were spoiling their son, his parents also realized their son clearly had no problem demanding a trainer to hand over one of her pokemon over to their son

OldTimer: good for the parents to see they were spoiling their son rottten

ChosenOne: as part of his punishment, not only his parents took quite a few of his privlages from him, they also made it clear he couldn't keep bellsprout, and if he managed to become a trainer when he's 10, his parents will provide him his starter

MovieStar: a fair punishement i'd say

ChosenOne: bellsprout was given to me, only i don't want it, so i was hopeing one of you guys could ask your poison & grass gym leaders if one of you wants to take in bellsprout and give it the care it deserves, same with geeta even

SteelRocks: we will, as one of us can conatact geeta if needed

LivingLegend: i can ask milo & klara right now and see if one of them wants to take bellsprout in

ChosenOne: thanks leon

ChosenOne: after talking to falkner, he said misty & me will have our gym battles tomorrow on the 9th cause of what happened here

DragonMaster: understandable

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: its the 9th and we're on our way rto the gym for mine and misty's first badges

LivingLegend: thats great!

OldTimer: you girls ready?

ChosenOne: we are

ChosenOne: well i am, and misty is very confident she's easily get her first badge

SteelRocks: we'll see though

DragonMaster: for warning incase falkner didn't tell you & misty yesterday, falkner may use his more powerful pokemon against you ash cause your a vetran trainer & for you misty, not sure since its going to be a surprise apparently

ChosenOne: thanks for the heads up

WaterGirl: and im now curious about his pokemon for my battle

ChosenOne: getting ready for our gym battles now by having falkner meeting up with us at the gym entrence and giving us an elevator ride up to the roof of the gym, with misty going first, since this is her first gym challange, with it a 3-3 battle

ChosenOne: as for me, its a 4-4 battle, with falkner saying he wanted to battle against my 3 flyers, with lots of eagerness even

DragonMaster: not surprising given how powerful those 3 are, he wants to go all out, as he talked about wanting to go against your flyers ever since what all happened in shamouti

ChosenOne: the 4th battle will be one of my younger pokemon, most likly chikorita or heracross against one of falkner's younger pokemon he uses for rookie challengers

GroundQueen: good luck to both you girls

WaterGirl: thanks queen

SquintyEyes: well......misty's overconfidence, and i have to say, her arrogance, got the best of her and she lost

MovieStar: im actually not surprised that would happen, as she was quite overcanfident she would win

GroundQueen: and being arrogant

OldTimer: how well did she do though?

LivingLegend: tell us brock

SquintyEyes: the battle started with her using poliwag & falkner with a hoothoot, and after a tough battle, poliwag barely managed a win, with him fainting after it was called by one of the gym trainers refereeing the battle for misty's win, which gave her that overconfidence boost

DragonMaster: no surprise there

SquintyEyes: as for the 2nd battle, falkner used his dodrio that he said no challenger doing their first league has ever defeated, while misty kept poliwag out, only he lost to a swift attack, which is when she sent out tamatoa, and while he put up a great battle, he lost when he was hit with not only steel wing, but after he fired hyper beam, 3 times, all dodrio dodged, he was worn out and was taken out by hyper beam from dodrio

OldTimer: wouldn't be surprised her sisters have been using him in their gym battles, but her overconfidence got to her on that one

SquintyEyes: they have, and i agree, as she sent out ampy, who managed to take down dodrio, but got worn out from it, as went it came time for the last battle, falkner sent out a gyarados against amphy

SteelRocks: a water serpent vs water serpent battle then

SquintyEyes: in the end, that gyarados proved too much for amphy and a well placed twister got amphy stuck in there as thunder was fired in there and eletricuted amphy, giving falknor the win as misty was shocked with her loss

LivingLegend: that would take anyone by surprise

SquintyEyes: and now its ash's turn as misty recalled amphy and went over by me, still in shock of her loss

SquintyEyes: and ash also won, with falkner going all out after the first battle against a different hoothoot, with ash using chikorita, which falkner had to point out the typing

GroundQueen: not like thats gonna stop ash, as it hasn't happened before

SquintyEyes: it didn't, since chikorita has been getting some one-on-one training from falkor, which im thinking she might be gainign a small crush on him now once she got over her own shock of finding out ash is a girl and lost her crush on ash completely

SquintyEyes: anyway, it took some dodging from hoothoot when ash had chikorita start with vine whip, but a well place vine whip, and also a well used razor leaf did injure hoothoot, and when hoothoot tried to peck at chikorita, she used her sweet scent to distract hoothoot & and a still being worked on body slam to finish it thanks to sweet scent, showing her one on one training with falkor really paid off

LivingLegend: good for both ash and chikorita

SquintyEyes: the next battle was her battling falkner's pidgeot with storm

MovieStar: now that must of been quite the battle

SquintyEyes: it was, with storm managing to pull a win agaisnt pidgeot, which not only falkner was surprised about that, since his deffiantly is strong, he was also thrilled ash beat his pidgeot with her's, as his was getting over confident in his wins apparently

SquintyEyes: as for the next battle, it was kaida against a very powerful staraptor that was new and she scanned in quickly, along with me and misty, and when it almost looked like kaida was about to lose, she managed her win in the end thanks to a well placed dragon pulse to take down staraptor

DragonMaster: thats great to hear that

SquintyEyes: for the last battle, it was vulcan against falkner's own charizard, who happened to be a shiny, which was another instense battle that ash also won thanks to seismic toss finishing falknor's charizard, with falkner giving her the zephyr badge, as misty stared at that also in shock, as i think she's still processing on how much harder being in a gym battle was than she thought it would be

LivingLegend: i would of loved to see that battle now between both charizards

GroundQueen: of course you would leon

WaterGirl: i had no idea doing the gym battle as a challenger was so different then doing the gym battle as gym leader, as i didn't expect it to be so tough

SquintyEyes: it is a different feeling the other way around

ChosenOne: we're leaving the city once misty challenges falkner again, with us using storm, kaida, and vulcan to cut the traveling time, as misty's loss cut our traveling plans now

OldTimer: that does happen

ChosenOne: also, i gave falkner a keystone, since he didn't have one and even 3 megastones

MovieStar: that was nice of you to do that

GroundQueen: and it can make his gym battles more interesting for mainly vetran trainers

SteelRocks: which ones we're they for?

ChosenOne: i gave my other megastone for pidgeot to falkner for his pidgeot, along with one of my remaining 2 for gyarados, & one of my other 2 for charizard y form, since y form would be more suited for his charizard like how it is for vulcan, and i am curious now on what a shiny y form looks like, and shiny x form

DragonMaster: i know falkner hasn't gotten megastones, mainly cause with him being the first gym rookies go against, he didn't want to overwhelm them, but this does give vetrans a more intresting battle, as plenty have stated in the past they wanted a tought challange to the gym battles

DragonMaster: anyway, good luck to you and misty against bugsy afer redoing the gym battle for misty

DragonMaster: and i found out why jessie wasn't able to go to the nursing school

ChosenOne: what was the reason?

DragonMaster: i found out the the couple in charge, that was her father and his wife, jessie's step-mom, with jessie's mother, who was found from team rocket files was a skilled memeber, which explained why she joined, to find her mother, as her father had an affair with her mother and his wife knew about the affair

ChosenOne: that was the reason?

SteelRocks: so she was denied her schooling all so her father could cover his own ass and not deal with seeing his affair child and not deal with his wife yelling at him for this, from what im getting at

DragonMaster: its pretty much it, and jessie wasn't able to apply for the other nursing schools in different cities because all of them are branched off from the main nursing school, which the couple again, made sure to deny her that as the couple are the main heads of all the nursing schools

OldTimer: affair child or not, she could of gone to one of the smaller branches of the nursing school were that couple would never see her, as those do exist, and mostly are independant nursing schools

MovieStar: at least now she'll know why, it wasn't her fault, it was the fault of the couple, her father and step-mother

ChosenOne: next time im able to, ill tell her that

ChosenOne: but first, misty redoing her gym battle tomorrow, as she using the same 3, just giving them some more training, as there are certain attacks they already know misty wanted to get stronger, and als some new attacks

ChosenOne: got to the gym early in the morning, with the misty eager to win this time, which the battle already happened, so back on the road and flying to cut some distance, as misty wanted to keep all her pokemon with longer like i am with mine for now

ChosenOne: but i should be sending some back soon

LivingLegend: did she win? or did she lose again? and you three are going to azelea town anyway for misty to go against bugsy for her first badge?

ChosenOne: she won, but barely, as poliwag went against the same hoothoot again, and this time won thanks to getting water pulse right, as he was learning that for quite a few weeks now, just haven't trained much with it and also learned both  icy wind, and even haze, as water pulse and haze were the key to her win, as poliwag was able to land a couple of hits to dodrio, but lost to being hit with tri-attack

ChosenOne: then when tamatoa was sent out, as he managed to learn guillotine on our way from cherrygrove city to violet city, and both bubble beam & fury cutter at the gym, and what helped gain the win against dodrio was another 2 moves he learned at the gym, whirlpool & also crabhammer, as he was perfecting those attacks during the training

DragonMaster: so far, it sound like misty did way better today than yesterday with her gym battle

ChosenOne: she did, then falknor sent out gyarados and it did get hit with hyper beam from tamatoa, but took him out with zap cannon and also blizzard, leading to battling against ampy again, where misty worked on teaching ampy with kovu's help electric attacks

SteelRocks: id say milotic's can't learn electric attacks, but then again, many things are proven wrong, mainly due to you chosen

ChosenOne: surprisingly, amphy managed to learn thunderbolt, but it still needs work, but now learned twister, refresh, iron tail, & blizzard, as refresh was the main help, and so was iron tail, but in the end, thunderbolt was the key to winning

ChosenOne: barely though, as misty was very close to losing again, with amphy getting worn out from the battle, but she still got her zephyr badge anyway, and now the way to azalea town to go against bugsy next, a day behind though

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: after flying a few hours, as that made up for loss time, we had the flyers land so we could take a break over by a lakeside town according to the map, is called shimada town, with brock thinking of onnly girls again

LivingLegend: of course he would

ChosenOne: he even saw a girl at a cliff wearing a pink dress with an umbrella, while misty spotted a marill coming out of the bushes and decided she wanted to catch it, despite it having a pink bow on

DragonMaster: did she catch it

ChosenOne: she didn't, since when she threw the pokeball, it hit marill on the head, causing it to cry really loud to the point it felt like our ears were about to burst, meaning marill has a trainer when i pointed that out after brock went to comfort it, with marill not liking misty, since it started crying again

OldTimer: of course, she threw a pokeball at it

MovieStar: that loud crying sounds like noibats and noiverns with how loud they can be

SteelRocks: and the whismer line with how loud they can be

ChosenOne: and now the trio showed up again & dressed as farmers this time, complete with a tractor and trailer with hay bales in it

MovieStar: of course they showed up again

DragonMaster: but as farmers is new, and a tractor and trailer is dedication

ChosenOne: since we didn't fall for their plan when i called them by their names, the trio went with their plan b, which was grab our pokemon, with then only pokemon getting grabbed was marill who wasn't supposed to be grabbed and triton who was supposed to be grabbed, beign a mythical and all

GroundQueen: why can't that trio just leave you 3 alone?

ChosenOne: i also wonder why

ChosenOne: any way, as we chased after the trio, marill cried so loud it caused meowth to lose control of the truck he was driving and crashed it into a railing, which blasted the trio away for now, with marill and triton rolling down the hill and into the riverside

SquintyEyes: before we could stop her, misty handed me togepi and started going down the hill towards marill and triton to get the two

DragonMaster: did she grab them?

ChosenOne: she did, but couldn't stop going down the hill and landed in the river, and while we're worried, misty does have all the pokemon she has with her on hand

OldTimer: thats good, since that means she's at least safe and has a way to defend herself, like say the trio show up again

MovieStar: and explains why you and brock are just on the chat right now, misty is currently busy

ChosenOne: thats right, as we're doing what we can to get downstreamfrkfpet

ChosenOne: so the girl brock was staring at rushed over in a way that felt like the ground was shaking towards me and brock and not only she grabed me by my shirt, she also began shaking me violently while demanding to know where marill was, even calling me a pokemon thief

SteelRocks: so she's marills trainer then

GroundQueen: and that was rude of her to do that to you, as you didn't do anything

ChosenOne: she is and brock was no hep by getting all lovestruck and introduced himself to her after he knocked me to the side and i almost landed onto the ground if it wasn't for kakashi catching me in time

DragonMaster: now THAT was uncalled for by brock

ChosenOne: the girl even said her name is wilhomena, leading to me knocking brock to the side and explained to wilhomena someone tried to take our friend misty's pokemon but grabbed marill by mistake and misty went after marill when it and one of misty's pokemon fell in to the river

ChosenOne: i also was pming misty to see if she would answer, but so far no answer

ChosenOne: so we've been looking for a while, with wilhomena highly upset and blaming herself for marill wandering off, with brock promising we'll find marill, & from what it looks like, she might like him but he doesn't notice

ChosenOne: or he does and he's not showing it

GroundQueen: thats a surprise since he always notices girls, but not noticing one liking him is quite a surprise

MovieStar: and thats after he flirted with her

ChosenOne: it is & so far, we found marill's ribbon washed up from the river, well togepi did, and even with vilkus and farkas sniffing it to at least get marill's sent, but do the ribbon be soaked from the river, the scent was gone

ChosenOne: it took quite a while, and its sunset now, but we got misty back, with wilhomena & marill back together again

MovieStar: thats good to here

DragonMaster: did misty have quite the story to tell?

ChosenOne: she did, with marill crying a lot, most which misty caused, with marill even running off a few times, along with marill having a target practic fun with a couple of butterfree at a flower field, where when misty and triton caught up to marill, thats when misty saw all the bug types, mainly caterpie and weedle

ChosenOne: she then said that her shrieking brought in a swarm of beedrill, with triton somehow learning thunder shock, scaring the beedrill away before misty could get starmie out, so maybe thats a legendary deal he learned thunder shock

LivingLegend: good for triton

ChosenOne: it is, with it even starting to rain while we were looking, leading to misty getting marill & triton to a nearby shelter in a tree opening, with the same for me, togepi, brock, & wilhomena under some large tee branches

ChosenOne: and all the while brock was being lovey-dovey to willomena

LivingLegend: won't catch me acting that way

ChosenOne: same with me, as misty did state the storm scared marill as she ran into the rain and lightning struck a large tree, causing it to fall, where misty ran and got her in time before it fell, where triton caught up to the two, as that caused marill to finally warm up to misty as the rain stopped

MovieStar: at least marill finalyl warmed up to her, after a number of hours

ChosenOne: yeah, then sometime after the rain ended, misty and the 2 pokemon found a rope bridge, where the trio were at in their meowth balloon to steal triton and marill again, which was when we finally found the 3, as we saw misty jumping onto the claw marill was grabbed in as triton remembered to liquify himself to escape the claw that grabbed him

ChosenOne: which caused meowth to let go of the claw according to misty cause of her added weight, then triton's when he grabbed her, was too much for the claw to handle, and meowth to hold as he had to let go of the claw, with venus saving her and the 2 pokemon by grabbing her with her feelers, leading up to wilhomena and marill back together

ChosenOne: after that, kakashi used ice beam and venus with swift to damage the trio's balloon and sent the balloon towards us, with another battle against the trio, as misty battled them with poliwag against weezing and arbok, by using water gun, and when a poison sting from arbok almost hit misty, marill saw this and she also used water gun to protect misty, and triton having the honors of blasting the trio with thunder shock

OldTimer: that is quite the adventure she, triton, and marill had then

ChosenOne: it was, when wilhomena offered us to stay at her lakehouse for a while, i turned it down since we needed to get to azela town

DragonMaster: heads up, i just a message from a construction crew near the area your at about how their making a road between the mountain from one of the nearby towns to violet city to shave off travel time

DragonMaster: should you 3 go pass that area, do be carefull cause of the construction going on

ChosenOne: will do and thanks for the heads up

ChosenOne: so quite a bit happened today, and after the marill deal yeasterday

MovieStar: what all happened?

SteelRocks: mainly since it sounds like something intresting happened again

DragonMaster: will it also explain why the reports that got sent to me stated one of the construction tanks went out of control and opened the path in the mountain between the nearby iwata town and violet city?

ChosenOne: yes to all that

DragonMaster: do tell

ChosenOne: to start, after we made camp last night, with misty using my portible transporter to send staryu, merina, tamatoa, & goldeen back to the gym, and me with itachi, kovu, sobek, venus, & svend for the first time

ChosenOne: we woke up very early and walked for a while longer and since all three of us were still sleepy, we settled for a daytime nap, which also included all our pokemon napping with us

OldTimer: nothing wrong with that

DragonMaster: of course you would say that old man cause you randomly take naps

ChosenOne: anyway, sometime when we were napping, a wild sentret appeared, leading to it getting curious about togepi, causing him to accidently roll down a hill when he too was napping, leading to togepi waking up and playing with that sentret

GroundQueen: and the tank?

ChosenOne: the 2 rolled off a cliff and landed in the hatch opening of one of the construction tanks the construction crew was using, with togepi accidently jumping on a lever that turned the tank on as some workers went after it, including the foreman

DragonMaster: that explains why the tank was opperating without a human opperator inside it

ChosenOne: when we woke up, it was cause misty woke us up to togepi missing & some different sentret and a furret were waking us up to tell us something, which we scanned in sentret and furret

LivingLegend: it involved togepi and that other sentret no doubt

ChosenOne: it was, with the sentret saying how a walking egg, which is togepi, & one of the young sentret are missing, with us agreeing to help to get togepi back and also that sentret

WaterGirl: when we got towards the area of the construction site, as we heard a loud machine, the workers told us about the runaway tank and how 2 pokemon got in there from the open hatch, and started the machine up while playing in there

ChosenOne: with us telling them about the sentret being wild and togepi belonging to misty, with us offering to help stop the tank, as its made to break lots of the boulders and parts of the cliff

MovieStar: that is good you offereed to help

SquintyEyes: it took quite a few different ideas to slow the tank down or even damaging it enough to where it couldn't run anymore, with us even getting help from the nearby wild pokemon to help aid our pokemon

SquintyEyes: and having to catch up to it by riding on onix when i sent him out

DragonMaster: according to the report, since the tank was unmanned and moving on its own, it ended up drilling a hole into the side of the mountain and towards iwata town on the other side of the mountain

ChosenOne: luckily, the plans we all used, with the construction crew helping us, such as digging a hole and filling it with boulders & soften the boulders into mud with water to slow the tank down, depsite it gaining speed

ChosenOne: buy when that sentret got tangled in wires, that caused the tank to start back up and another chase as it made a path out of the trap and triton getting stuck in there when misty opened the hatch to get togepi and sentret

SquintyEyes: and a second giant hole the construction crew made to slow the tank down, until togepi must of pulled some wires, or triton got some wires wet and causes a spark, as the tank manged to get out of that hole

SteelRocks: how?

WaterGirl: a giant spring was in the bottom and it jumped out

GroundQueen: just why?

DragonMaster: i don't know, as this is surprising me

OldTimer: that must of been a surprise then

ChosenOne: it was, leading to the spring and hopping to stop and it rolling again as the sentet with us got the wild pokemon get out of the way, including the other wild sentret and furrets, and into a giant mountain side, causing it to explode at the speed it was going

MovieStar: oh no

ChosenOne: don't worry, when the smoke cleared, we saw no tank exploded parts and instead, a tunnel made, as it went through the mountain

DragonMaster: and toward iwana town

SquintyEyes: yeah, with us and the construction workers making a new plan to stop that tank, as it involved kaida and vulcan to slow it down long enough for us to save togepi, triton, and sentret, while me and the girls rode on onix with sentret, kakashi, and two of the workers, as the rest rode on two other onix they had to help with the digging

OldTimer: at least that tank was stopped in time

WaterGirl: it sure was, as even with vulcan and kaida slowing the construction tank down, it was still moving, with the sentret with us aiding vulcan and kaida the best it could do, as brock had onix grab on to part of the back of the tank, with vulcan using flamethrower to melt a window for the three pokemon to get out of there as kaida caught them, since triton must of used thunder shock to make the controls spark

ChosenOne: thats when it exploded, with both vulcan and kaida flying out of the way, as misty scolded togepi, and the sentret with us, who i think is the mom of the other sentret, who's her baby and scolded her baby

ChosenOne: leading to officer jenny on her motorcylce arriving as she saw us and the construction crew, asking if we all were the ones resposible for the tunnel that was made, which we were by accident, as jenny thanked us and the crew

MovieStar: leading to jenny explaining about what lance mentioned yesterday then with the construction

WaterGirl: she did, as the foreman even said to us and jenny how despite it wasn't the actual location the tunnel for iwana town and violet city was being built, the construction crew was going to make it work and work on that new tunnel and the road, including fixing the traps we made

DragonMaster: thats good at least for the crew to make that new tunnel work, despite losing a contruction tank

ChosenOne: the crew even gave us 3 these camoflauge outfits as also a thanks for what we did, and we all like them

MovieStar: that was nice of the crew

ChosenOne: accoding to the map we're using, we should stay on the path we're taking to azela town, we'll be near Charicific Valley, which vulcan is excited about, since he said he has memories from ignus telling him about the place when he was a small charmander cause he didn't hatch there

DragonMaster: no suprise, as he hatched in indigo in the area where tiamat and ignus have marked as their territory, and im surprised he never mentioned me to you, as i was included in having him raised up and trained for a starting trainer

ChosenOne: he has dad, and he said he rememberd chasing apollo around a lot, and the espeon using psychic on him to make him float around, like he was flying

GroundQueen: how adorable

DragonMaster: good thing your heading that way anway to the valley then, cause ignus and tiamat are already at there

ChosenOne: good to know and im looking forward to seeing the place myself

LivingLegend: one of these days i got to go there with helios

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: took us 3 days, so its the 15th, and now, after so much walking and our feet very sore

SteelRocks: and at least no team rocket then

ChosenOne: thats true, as them not bothering us is the best

ChosenOne: and now, we're walking along the path on the canyon here, while hearing echos now and then

DragonMaster: i hope you all enjoy your time at the charicific valley, as you 3 are getting closer to it

DragonMaster: but fair warning, liza the caretaker, she can at times be bit of a bitch on insulting charizards that don't meet her standards

ChosenOne: good to know dad

ChosenOne: and a woman on top of the cliffs just greeted us, so this must be liza, so we'll get back on the chat in a bit

LivingLegend: is brock flirting again?

WaterGirl & ChosenOne: yes

GroundQueen: of course he is

ChosenOne: so liza said she knew about vulcan casuse she smelled him apparently and about me winning my battle against falkner's own charizard, and gave him a megastone to boot

LivingLegend: how can one smell a charizard?

ChosenOne: gots me

DragonMaster: i have no idea really

ChosenOne: after her saying she wanted to meet vulcan, liza offered us to head to the valley with her, as brock answered for me and misty

MovieStar: of course he would, as he's only intrested in liza

WaterGirl: thats right

ChosenOne: after spinning this staff she has, liza called for a female charizard named Charla to help transport her, misty, & brock in a balloon, with her groceries

ChosenOne: and since there wasn't enough room for me, which was fine, i had no problem riding vulcan there, with me first asking if it was alright for storm and kaida to fly with us, with liza relenting on that as all 3 let themselves out ans she saw how big vulcan was

ChosenOne: and right now im on vulcan's back with kakashi with me as im chatting to you guys

DragonMaster: just make sure you don't fall off vulcan

ChosenOne: kakashi's sitting behind me with his ams acting as barriers to prevent me from falling, and i think liza said something butt i couldnt heare it

WaterGirl: she said all the charizards here are wild, save for charla, and other charizards belonging to trainers, but those ones usually arrive for the charizard mateing season to mainly let their tempers & hormones out, and to also breed, as their the ones obviously most comfortable around humans

WaterGirl: and liza also said this is where professor oak gets the charmanders from for starting trainers, as she takes care of that

WaterGirl: of course we had to use a regular phone to communicate with her due to the wind making it hard to hear

ChosenOne: thanks for relaying what liza said to you both

ChosenOne: and from what it looks like, charla is edging vulcan on by going faster and mocking him from what i could somewhat understand due to the distance, only vulcan wasn't taking the bait and is enjoying flying alongside storm and kaida

SquintyEyes: since we got here faster than you did, liza began talking about the history of charicific valley about how the charizards here train naturally without humans by battling each other, which is quite intense that even includes intense competitions to prove the strongest

OldTimer: it does sound intense

WaterGirl: liza even mentioned some of the trainers that had their charizards here, both past and current, which included blaine & professor oak as former ones cause their charizards are up there in age and don't get to the valley much anymore due to their ages

WaterGirl: while the examples of current ones being falkner for mainly the mating season & even you lance with ignus, who apparently has a high level of respect here

DragonMaster: of course he does, ignus is very well respected there

ChosenOne: thanks for informing me, since vulcan's taking his time getting there

ChosenOne: so got here now, and the entrence was amazing to look at, with misty pming me on how liza said only the weak charizards try to show off

ChosenOne: and to top it off, she judged vulcan on calling him weak and needing training, like she didn't see him as a strong pokemon due to him having a trainer

SteelRocks: vulcan's already strong since he showed he can hold his own against his own father and he beat drake's dragonite all on his own

SteelRocks: granted he mega evolved against drake, but still he won

DragonMaster: not according to those charizards and liza, as even ignus had to prove his own stregnth when he was young, and that was before those charizard found out oak's charizard and dragonite happened to of been his parents

DragonMaster:@livinglegend: heads up leon, if you ever come to the valley, don't be surprised liza and the charizards here insult you and helios

LivingLegend: thanks for thee heads up lance

ChosenOne: while vulcan was angry at liza and charla both for insulting him and essentially me, he didn't take the bait again by not using flamethrower on liza to show his anger, with even me tempted to battle her and charla, but i too wasn't going to rise to the bait

DragonMaster: good, cause liza not only would of refused, she would of mocked you for that, cause again charla is her's and she raised charla ever since she was a charmander

ChosenOne: even kaida didn't like how charla and liza were insulting me & vulcan, which is a surprise she was getting angry, since she's such a gentle soul

OldTimer: that shows a lot then, since it clearly takes a lot to anger kaida

DragonMaster: dragons are protective of their trainers and teammates, so to her, she was being protective of you and vulcan

ChosenOne: i did ask vulcan if he wanted to battle one of those charizards in the valley, only he refused by saying those charizards weren't worth his time, since he has nothing to prove to them

ChosenOne: even when a large one at possibly close to 10 feet tall wwalked past and liza said should vulcan defeat him, then vulan may be qualified enough to join, he still refused

GroundQueen: so he's not intrested in joining the valley then?

ChosenOne: apparently not, but did say if they had no problem with him here during mating season with his potential mate, then he'll mainly be here for mating season, since he doesn't want to leave me & his teammates

MovieStar: i wonder who he wants as his mate then

ChosenOne: given how he looks at kaida the same way dragon looks at my mom, he wants her to be his mate, but im guessing he's afraid she'll reject him

SteelRocks: given how you said a while back kaida might have a crush on him, chances are she does have feelings for him

ChosenOne: she does, since i've seen the way she lookes at vulcan like how my mom looks at dragon, and like with vulcan, im guessing she's afraid he'll reject her

OldTimer: maybe being here will give both of them the push they need to admit their feelings for each other

ChosenOne: i hope so

ChosenOne: so liza and even charla pestered vulcan enough to where both of them demaned he showed his strength agianst one of the wild charizards

DragonMaster: i don't like the sound of where this is going

ChosenOne: to shut them both up, the same charizard that walked past before, vulcan challanged it to a battle, with liza and charla smug and saying 'your weak charizard will know his place as being too weak to join the valley'

LivingLegend: i really don't like liza now

DragonMaster: don't worry, im not a fan of her either, despite her being clair's best friend

ChosenOne: well vulcan did battle that wild charizard, which vulcan dwarfed him, since he's at least in the 7' range the last time i measured his height and that charizard again was like 10'

ChosenOne: and he surprised those charizards, charla, & liza by taking down that charizard, not just with strength, but also with stratigy, all on his own

DragonMaster: good for vulcan

DragonMaster: how did liza react?

ChosenOne: she was speechless vulcan won, then before she could insult him, he flew off to explore the valley with storm & kaida, since again this is the first time he's ever been here, only charla and liza didn't like that, & neither did the other charizards that he was able to beat one of them already

DragonMaster: figures none would like that, as the same thing happened with me and ignus first time we were there

ChosenOne: just saw another charizard with a dragonite flying towards vulcan, kaida, & storm from where they were at

GroundQueen: ignus & tiamat!

ChosenOne: it is, since liza saw this and said their names when ignus and vulcan did a squaring off in a way when the five flyers landed as the rest of us got there, with liza and charla freaking out cause they both were convinced vulcan would get killed by challanging ignus to battle

SteelRocks: as i said before, he already battled against his father and tied with him, showing just how skilled you are

DragonMaster: and despite vulcan being his son, ignus was not holding back, meaning that tie those two had was real

ChosenOne: good to know that was real, with those charizards, charla, & liza all shocked when ignus and vulcan gave a type of greeting that meant those 2 knew eachother

WaterGirl: more so when liza asked why lance's charizard ignus knew vulcan and ash said vulcan is his and tiamat's son, which caused a chain reaction of giving vulcan dissrespect to admiration and respect all because of who his parents are, and also who his paternal grandparents are

DragonMaster: ignus had to go through the same thing when it was revealed professor oak's charizard and dragonite were his parents, since when its revealed a charizard is the offspring of a powerful and well known charizard that belongs to a well known and powerful trainer, then they want to breed with that charizard to have powerful offspring

GroundQueen: makes sense to me

SteelRocks: same with me

LivingLegend: good thing helios would be safe since he and dragapult recently became mates

ChosenOne: that explains why charla and liza are now looking at vulcan with not only respect, charla is even looking at him like she wants him now when she didn't before

ChosenOne: and kaida made it clear to the female charizards getting closer to vulcan for him to mate with one of them to back off and leave vulcan alone

MovieStar: good for kaida

ChosenOne: the only one that didn't listen was charla, who just ignored kaida and kept buttering up to vulcan, who turned her down as he's saying she's only intrested in him now because of who his parents and grandparents are, just for strong offspring, which charla apparently didn't like vulcan turning her down, with even liza not liking that

DragonMaster: figures that would happen

ChosenOne: then a fight happened

OldTimer: between who?

WaterGirl: kaida and charla, when according to ash kaida admitted her feelings for vulcan, which charla got offended when vulcan admitted his feelings for kaida

GroundQueen: so charla got offened vulcan prefered a dragonite over a member of his own species then

SquintyEyes: pretty much, with liza offended by this even and even complained to us why vulcan would chose a dragonite over a charizard

SquintyEyes: even ignus and tiamat showed their anger, since its their son's choice on who he wants to be with, not anyone else's choice

DragonMaster: thats right, its vulcan's choice on who he wants to be with, not anyone else's choice

ChosenOne: when the fighting was going on, kaida had the upperhand, until charla pulled a dick move that got her to win, with her also smug about that even, like she thinks vulcan will now pick her cause she won

MovieStar: she's just as much of bitch like liza is

ChosenOne: i agree & charla figured with her victory over kaida, vulcan would chose her cause she's the strongest

LivingLegend: only he didn't

ChosenOne: that's right, he not only made it clear to charla she means nothing to him cause he doesn't even know her & since he spent so much time getting to know kaida, he knows her more than charla

WaterGirl: vulcan finally admitted his feelings for kaida as ash said she admitted her feelings to him, leading to the two flying and doing this type of dance ash right now is recording

DragonMaster: that's a traditional mating ritual for dragons when they find their lifetime mate, since dragons mate for life

ChosenOne: heres the video vulcan&kaidadance.mov

GroundQueen: ill watch it later chosen

DragonMaster: how did everyone else react after vulcan declaired kaida his mate?

ChosenOne: liza and charla were both furious, while the other female charizards all backed down, same with the male charizards, while ignus literally said 'just like is old mon for falling for a dragonite', getting a playful smack from tiamat as she was happy her son found love with his life long mate

ChosenOne: with him already proving his strength, the other charizards now want him here, only he does want to spend time here & yet he doesn't want to leave me and kaida

DragonMaster: i know you don't like the idea of leaving vulcan behind, but luckly he can go to the valley with kaida during the charizard mating season, which is only 2 weeks from now, that way he can get stronger, while also spending time with kaida, with the mating season lasting roughtly 2 months, give or take at times

DragonMaster: and at times the mating season does change months

ChosenOne: that works for all of us then

WaterGirl: but now bigger question

SquintyEyes: will the two have an egg right away?

DragonMaster: they won't, since the purpose of their first mating is purely the 2 getting together permanantly, & the only way for kaida and vulcan to have an egg is for both of them wanting to have an egg, or even eggs right away, otherwise they both will wait until the time is right to have an egg or eggs

SquintyEyes: good to know

ChosenOne: at least liza is letting us spend the night here in the house she has here before we set off in the morning, so ill let kaida and vulcan know we'll see them both again after mating season is over

ChosenOne: although dad, im not gonna lie, but i was really tempted to break liza's nose for that attitude of her's

DragonMaster: your not the first one she pissed off and was tempted to beat her up, as there were trainers that wanted to smack her, slap her, and punch her, but had to hold back

ChosenOne: that helps

Chapter Text

DragonMaster: i know its morning, but how are you holding up sweetheart?

ChosenOne: im doing okay dad

ChosenOne: even though ill be seeing kaida and vulcan again in less than 3 months, so at least december will be when ill see the 2 again after the mating season is over

ChosenOne: it still does upset me i had to leave the 2 behind there

DragonMaster: i understand, but sometimes over the years, vulcan and kaida may decide to only go to the valley during mating season when they both feel like it and only stay for a short amount of time

ChosenOne: good to hear that atleast

ChosenOne: so we've been traveling for roughly 3 days to azela town, so its the 19th now, and to make maters worse, our canteens our empty and its hot out with vikingr out as he's the only one that's enjoying this heat

SquintyEyes: at leaset we're nearly there to bloomingville town acording to the map

LivingLegend: no surprise as he's a fire type, and why don't you ask your water types to fill them?

ChosenOne: the water doesn't taste the same oh look a pipe dripping with water!

SquintyEyes: and this beautiful woman just arrived to fix it, with her letting us fill out canteens up before the pipe was fixed

SteelRocks: that was nice of her to do that

WaterGirl: it was as brock flirted with her and ash this time pulled him by the ear, with her introducing herself as sonrisa and even led us to bloomingvale town, with her even talking about this sunflora festival held at the town as she led us to her house, with that festival being about sunflora trainers raising their sunflora to be the best as possible

LivingLegend: sounds quite something

DragonMaster: ive been to one of theose sunflora festivals before, and i liked it, with the sunflora the main pokemon of the town, like the quagsire are for in cherrygrove city

GroundQueen: like croagunks are to pastoria city over in sinnoh then

DragonMaster: exactly, as bloomingvale town is also another town with a contest hall

ChosenOne: when we got to her house, she talked about the pokemon she has, which happen to be sunflora and she showed us 3 of them she has, with the 3rd one named sunny, only it's the total opposite of its name and sonrisa doesn't know why its upset

GroundQueen: sounds like its depressed then

SquintyEyes: and ash just asked sunny why its depressed once you mentioned that queen, with her telling sonrisa why sunny is sad because of his sunflora friend that her nieghbor, a name named cyrus had is no longer there

ChosenOne: along sonrise informing us cyrus won 3 years in a row with the sunflora contest

WaterGirl: so we're heading to where cyrus lives in the morning to ask about that sunflora he has to help sunny feel better, but in a while, since brock thinks making funny faces will help sunny first

ChosenOne: so its the 20th, and we spent the night in the pokemon center, where last night, cyrus had an incident where the trio showed up to steal the sunflora and meowth set off an alarm in the greenhouse and got caught as jessi and james ran off

ChosenOne: we did end up getting meowth untied and he ran off

DragonMaster: not surprised by the trio showing up

LivingLegend: and no doubt the trio will show up at the sunflora festival

ChosenOne: good thing we knew what was wrong with sunny thanks to me, so no need for meowth to translate

ChosenOne: anyway, when we got to cyrus's house and asked him about the sunflora he had that sunny used to play with, and how it was friends with sunny, cyrus told us he traded that sunflora to the local nurse joy

LivingLegend: back to the pokemon center, as you 3 would of met that sunflora

ChosenOne: thats right, as we're surprised we didn't see sunflora with nurse joy when we got there last night

ChosenOne: sunny got to see his friend again when we told nurse joy, with sonrisa seeing sunny happy again, as that sunflora joy named grindella

WaterGirl: and instantly sunny was happy again and both sunfloras were hugging and dancing in joy

OldTimer: thats good both sunflora's got to see each other again

ChosenOne: and joy had no problem with sonrisa bringing sunny over to see his friend, and now, time to head over to the sunflora festival

DragonMaster: enjoy yourselves therem and more importantly, don't be surprised on dealing with the trio

ChosenOne: of course, we have a feeling those three clowns will be there

ChosenOne: but quick question now, since you mentioned that contest hall bloomingvale town has yesterday dad, im now curious on exactly how many of those contest halls johto has to be exact?

SteelRocks: yeah lance, how many? as i know on average, there need to be around 20 contest halls in a region to make sure all coordinators participating get enough of a chance to get their 5 ribbons, as hoenn has 21 of them

GroundQueen: sinnoh i know has the most with 25 contest halls i believe

OldTimer: i know unova has at least 22 or 23 contest halls and a special contest held once a year

MovieStar: i know kalos has the least amount, but thats mainly due to showcases being more popular than contests

DragonMaster: for kanto, that exactly 20 contest halls, while for johto, i think its the same

DragonMaster: all 8 major gym towns and cities have contest halls, violet city, azeala town, goldenrod city, ecruteak city, mahogany town, olivine city, cianwood city, & blackthorn city

DragonMaster: as for the other towns and citites, i said florando city, and also cherrygrove city, then also right there in bloomingvale town

DragonMaster: followed by bonitaville city, even catallia city has one as i forgot to mention it before, then so does kasodo city in the whirl islands and its one of 3 contest halls in the whirl islands as that city also has a minor gym, making the total now 14 contest halls

DragonMaster: and then there's maroon town, palmpona city that's famous for its pokemon swap meet, rikishii town, whitestone town, then the other two contest halls in the whirl islands is in inland city and scarlet city, making the total 20, so yeah, its the same as kanto

WaterGirl: thats a lot of contest halls

LivingLegend: i agree

ChosenOne: same here

SquintyEyes: me too

MovieStar: kanto contests have it where one pokemon in the appeal and a different one in the battle rounds if im correct

DragonMaster: you are, as its the same with johto, unless advertised in posters if its different, like same pokemon in the contest

ChosenOne: at the festival and so far, no trio sighting yet as cyrus and his sunflora are on the stage, and so is sonrisa and sunny in the finals, with cyrus's huge cyrussunflora.jpeg

SteelRocks: that is huge

SquintyEyes: im convinced he gave his sunflora steriods to be that huge

DragonMaster: looking at this, its possible, but hard to be sure

ChosenOne: and the trio is here as their the 3rd finalists, with hte judges making their opinions

SteelRocks: of course

GroundQueen: no doubt meowth is sunflora

ChosenOne: he is triosunflora.jpeg

MovieStar: yep, meowth dressed as a sunflora

ChosenOne: not the best either

ChosenOne: and dad, is there a report of a missing snubbull?

DragonMaster: let me look.........there is indeed a report of a snubbull missing from that madame muchmoney, why?

LivingLegend: did that snubbull show up?

ChosenOne: yes she did by seeing past meowth's costume when she latched onto his tail again through the costume

ChosenOne: now we have to deal with the trio again

OldTimer: of course

ChosenOne: trio delt with and sunny won the festival, with sonrisa thanking us for sunny's win

MovieStar: what all happened?

DragonMaster: according to the reports sent to me, the trio tried to steal the year supply of instant noodle's as part of the winning prize, along with giant mirrors around the outdoor stadium, that when shined on the crowed, the sunflora's heads all grew so big they all couldn't move until the mirrors broke

OldTimer: did that all really happen?

ChosenOne: thats a yes to all of that, as misty had poliwag out to help with attacking arbok as james grabbed the noddles

ChosenOne: though there is one thing i have to point out

GroundQueen: what's that hun?

ChosenOne: when i was about to have kakashi use water shuriken on weezing, chikorita got in the way and used razor leaf on the shurikens, like she was jealous of him, which caused the shurikens to hit the mirrors at least to break them

SteelRocks: sounds like chikorita's jealous of the attention you give to kakashi and not her, which at least is better than crushing on you, but still that need to be delt with

ChosenOne: its not just kakashi she does that to, its nearly all my other pokemon, with vikingr and vulcan being the only ones she never bothered cause they could burn her, ella since she can hurt her with her ice attacks, and kaida since she liked the hugs she got from her

ChosenOne: and while i've talked to her about this, she just doesn't want to listen to me dad

DragonMaster: there is a pokemon center along the way to azeala town about a couple days away where the nurse joy there also has a degree in pokemon psychology, and she can help out with dealing with chikorita's jealousy, and i can also contact her so she's aware of your arrival

ChosenOne: that helps and sunny blasted the trio once the lights were gone with solar beam, as the sunflora's got their heads back to normal, leading to the finals, with sonrisa & sunny officially being the winners

ChosenOne: and now leaving and on our way to that pokemon center along the way to azalea town

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: well after the 2 day walk to that pokemon center, making it the 22nd when we got there, that nurse joy helped with chikorita and her jealousy

MovieStar: that's good to know

ChosenOne: nurse joy also said if needed, i should send chikorita to the ranch if her jealousy does get too much to calm her down, as the other pokemon i have can deal with her there, and also the other pokemon that live there

ChosenOne: and so far what helped calm her jealousy down for now is both me and nurse joy making it clear to her its okay for me to show attention to my other pokemon besides just her only

LivingLegend: that is quite the jealousy for wanting all of your attention on her only

OldTimer: at least it was delt with for the time being before she evolved

ChosenOne: it was

DragonMaster: i know my pokemon can lend a hand even

ChosenOne: that will be a big help, and after we leave here, we're continuing on to azalea town in the morning, with it being decided chikorita will be sent to the ranch for a bit as im having kovu sent over in her place

GroundQueen: thought of a name yet for her?

ChosenOne: not yet, but i found gaia, or spelling it gaea, and also flora, but it may still be a while as she wanted a name thats like her typing grass based, and also earth based, or similar to healing, but again, gaia is the main one she liked so far

ChosenOne: but i did also think of te fiti as a name from that moana movie we watched in kanto where tamatoa got his name from, so that's another name option

ChosenOne: after walking all day yesterday the 23rd and part of today the 24th, we stumbled upon a large amount of grass types, like bellsprout & vileplum for example, including a hoppip

ChosenOne: and after chasing hoppip when the wind picked up, we met an older girl named mariah who not only owns this hoppip and a second one, she also revelaed she owns five other hoppip, and even its evolved forms, which was 3 skiploom and a jumpluff, which all 3 of us scanned in skiploom and jumpluff

WaterGirl: after another brock flirting with a pretty girl happened, which was when mariah introduced herself to us, and me grabbing brock by his ear, again, that's when ash introduced herself and me to mariah, and also the 2 hoppip being her's

ChosenOne: we're currently at her house, where we aldready met her other hoppips, skiplooms and jumpluff, as she said to us how her pokemon are used to help her with her job as she's a weather forecaster here in johto

ChosenOne: and right now, after a briefy stop inside for some tea and to explain about her job, she led us back outside to show us how she predicted the wind will pick up cause the hoppip have all clustered together, with the 3 skiploom, & jumpluff also with as 2 hoppip were picked up by the wind at only a certain hieght until hitting the large net mariah has in place, a 2 in the hoppip scale

GroundQueen: this is all very intresting

DragonMaster: i heard of mariah even, since she's also researching the releationship between hoppip behavior to help with her weather prediction as a forecaster, and to also help the meteorologists to make long range weather predictions, as she even has her skiploom and jumpluff also aid in the weather predictions different from the hoppip

SteelRocks: thats pretty intresting about hoppip and its evolved forms to help with the weather

ChosenOne: then after another dealing of brock being dragged away by misty when he flirted with mariah again, we watched all the hoppip get lifted by the breeze again, when turns out, there was an oddish had its body painted pink to blend in with the hoppip

LivingLegend: where did that oddish come from then?

ChosenOne: according to mariah, oddish is from the neighborhood who spends a lot of time with her pokemon, mainly the hoppip that not only it wanted to be like them and fly, it even begand disguising itself as a hoppip to look the part of one, to where no matter how offten she tells oddish it can't fly, oddish is determined to fly

ChosenOne: even to is climbing up the net with its head leaves helping it and jumping, which luckily it landed on a pile of leaves, but did get upset, with misty giving oddish comfort anderfkieor

OldTimer: this is getting old with that trio

MovieStar: and annoying

ChosenOne: yes, the trio showed up as misty was still comforting oddish on not being able to fly, as the trio showed up by ripping the net, which jessie and james were wearing disguises, but their motto gave them away, and removed their disguises, with giant fans you can hold

DragonMaster: of course those 3 would show up again

SteelRocks: its not like those 3 have anything else better to do with their lives

ChosenOne: and meowth just activated this large electric fan that sent the hoppip, the skiploom, & jumpluff flying, so we have to catch them all

MovieStar: good luck

ChosenOne: got the pokemon, with falkkor dealing with arbok when jessie sent it out as i also sent out kovu, who used thunderbolt to explode the fan, which meowth set to hurricane level speed, & blasted the trio away for now

ChosenOne: but now the hoppip have grouped together again with skiploom and jumpluff also joining, and even oddish, which according to mariah means a strong wind storm is happening

DragonMaster: GET INTO THE HOUSE QUICK!

ChosenOne: whats going on?

WaterGirl: is it cause of the hoppip, skilpoon, & jumpluff acting up?

DragonMaster: A TORNADO HAS BEEN SPOTTED NEAR YOUR AREA!

ChosenOne: WILL DO!

SteelRocks: all of you stay safe

SquintyEyes: we'll also board the windows

ChosenOne: the tornado has past, and we're still here

DragonMaster: thats a relief

ChosenOne: even the skiploom and jumpluff are still here, but with the roof was ripped off, and all the hoppip, oddish, and the desk we were under getting blown away

OldTimer: did any of you get injured during this?

ChosenOne: all of us are fine with luckily no injuries, save for misty almost being grabbed if i didnt grab her in time, but right we're going to find oddish and the hoppip, as mariah's house was damaged

LivingLegend: good luck finding all of them

ChosenOne: it took a while, but we managed to find all seven hoppip with oddish helping us as we found it where the roof landed, with one hoppip in a tree brock climbed up, one in a river brock also grabbed

LivingLegend: all to impress mariah

ChosenOne: yep, as the 3rd one was caught in the breeze

ChosenOne: and also had to deal with another battle against the trio who were caught in the tornado, with the 4 remaining hoppips and the one we chased

ChosenOne: even with me having heracross and misty with triton battling against arbok and victreebel, oddish ran out to help with the battle, oddish surprisingly being the one that delt with the trio and even sent the trio blasting off with a powerful solar beam

SteelRocks: that is one strong oddish

GroundQueen: i agree

ChosenOne: once the hoppip were back with mariah, she named oddish an honorary hoppip and the newest member of her pokemon family, with us helping her clean up her house from the tornado damge

DragonMaster: according to the weather survey, the tornado was a legit one and not one the trio accidently made with that giant fan, with mariah's house insurance covering the damage of the tornado, so a contruction crew will be there to rebuild her house in a bit

ChosenOne: good to know that

ChosenOne: after we head back to meet up with the constrution crew to help clean up the damage to hte house as the crew rebuilds it, we'll be leaving after that to continue to azalea town

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: we left mariah yesterday, with me sending falkor & vikingr back to the ranch and got venus sent over with my xtransiever earlier today, the 25th

ChosenOne: and now were going through a forest to teh azalea gym and we just spotted a new pokemon that was scanned in, a gligar jumping from tree to tree before vanishing

GroundQueen: those pokemon are known to have a temper and most do have dislike for humans, save for some, and they have an evolution called gliscor that was first discovered in sinnoh when using a razor fang

ChosenOne: good to know theaefwe

ChosenOne: and we fell into a trio pit trap again, with the trio putting a grate over it to fill it with water to steal any of our pokemon that float to the top and leave the rest of us trapped, with the trio leaving us even

DragonMaster: THEIR WILLING DROWN YOU THREE!?

ChosenOne: apparently

ChosenOne: but jokes on them cause misty carries rebreathers for us to breath and two of the pokemon we have out are water types anyway that can break us free, kakashi and triton, as togepi even has his own rebreather and

ChosenOne: nevermind the water grabbed togepi!

ChosenOne: so that gligar we saw earlier, it appeared and broke the grate before kakashi got the chance to do so and flew out with togepi, with a man dressed as a superhero calling himself gligarman who has his own motto

GroundQueen: a superhero rescued you guys?

GroundQueen: and good togepi is safe

WaterGirl: yeah, he's back with me

ChosenOne: anyway, it was greninja got us out of there while the trio was insulting gligarman's choice of a superhero outfit, until he got fed up with them and had gligar deal with the trio until they ran off, then after something about evildoers and then gave us a whistle to use when we need him to show up, then left towards a nearby city according to the giude is called anan city with gligar on his motorcycle

DragonMaster: i know most of what goes on in both my regions, but this is the first i heard of Gligarman being in anan city, since he's an old superhero from a movie, meaning, he's a former actor, not a real superhero

LivingLEgend: never even heard of a real superhero in a city, since i only seen them in the movies

OldTimer: in one of my cities, driftveil city that is, there's a superhero that calls himself the Mighty Accelguard, and he's at least known

MovieStar: theres also rumors of a superhero in Lumanise City who uses a mega blazakiin and is also dressed similar to one

MovieStar: but i'm pretty sure i know who it is, but i dont have proof, yet, cause if it is him, he's in it from me from keeping it a secret

MovieStar: and i need to see that movie with that gligarman to know what its like even

DragonMaster: i seen it before as you can get it on dvd and on vhs tape, and its okay for at the time it was made

WaterGirl: as we looked at the whistle a young woman named latoya who was riding her bike saw us and asked if we saw gligarman, which we did, and then when ash asked if he really was a superhero, latoya said something on how he sometimes believes he is one, & i have to agree with ash that layota might know who he really is, since she quickly left

SteelRocks: sounds like to me she does know who he is

ChosenOne: we're heading to anan city now, with brock eager to see latoya again

LivingLegend: he flirted with no doubt

ChosenOne: he did

ChosenOne: so when we got into anan city, we found a toy store selling tons of gligarman & gligar merchandise & got told he's quite popular here in this city, and when we went inside, we saw latoya behind the counter and brock started flirting with her again

SteelRocks: of course

ChosenOne: and while we, well mainly me, wanted to know more about gligarman, her dad mr. parker appered and said he knows lots about gligarman

MovieStar: sounds like he's a big fan of the guy

SquintyEyes: he even showed us an old video of gligarman and gligar defeating a giant bug type monster that doesn't look like any pokemon we ever seen

DragonMaster: thats the movie gligarman and gligar were in, with that monster being made to look like its a mix of different bug types so it can stand out

OldTimer: sounds like it might of been a tv show ever

DragonMaster: i think it might of been, but only lasted a season, but it is old

WaterGirl: that explains why this gligarman looks different than that one in the film, cause the movie is old and from when he was young & in shape, which mr. parker gave us gligarman merch to change the subject quickly

ChosenOne: given how his aura signature matches gligarman's, which i even said that when i had to reveal to the 2 i can use aura, brock placed a gligarman mask on mr parker, confirming he's gligarman, plus he called misty be her name, as gligarman knows her name, not mr. parker

LivingLegend: instant outings

ChosenOne: it was, as he begged us not to tell his secret, and now mr parker and layota are taking us to their house

ChosenOne: at gligar mansion and the place is quite huge

MovieStar: makes sense

ChosenOne: when we got there, latoya explained how her dad became gligarman started when he wasn't selling enough toys at his store, so he invented gligerman & made up different stories to make it seem real, & even did that movie to further bring up the gligerman hype, plus the brief tv series as it did't even last for a full season

MovieStar: that makes sense for him to do all that, but it did get out of hand

OldTimer: i agree on that

SquintyEyes: after that, mr parker said he decided to become gligerman for real cause he found it far more fulfulling than just being a busissness man & even said he won't stop being gligerman cause anan city needed someone like him around

ChosenOne: he even has this cool high tech lab where gligar is at, with brock even offering to take the job as the new gligarman, as long as he marries layota, which she brushed off as a joke

LivingLegend: thats funny

ChosenOne: and now an alarm is going off and it shows on the tvs the trio attacking mr parker's store with jessie dressed in a villain costume with james & meowth dressed as metapods, so he's going to take care of it as gligarman and is going to drag me with him, so chat after trio is dealt with again, as venus was sent out to join me instead of kakashi

ChosenOne: trio has been dealt with and apparently the workers at the store knew mr parker was gligarman this whole time when we showed up, with jessie saying she'll unmasked gligarman in front of everyone

ChosenOne: and there's now a new superhero that will take over called gligirl, with gligar even listening to gligirl in the battle, as during this, the trio has spinarak mecha that trapped me, venus, & mr. parker/gligarman

ChosenOne: with gligirl having gligar free us, with me having venus battle and also me wit my aura as i used aura sphere as venus ran around the legs of the mecha, then gligirl had gligar attack, as eventually, i had venus use thunderbolt on the mecha that chased the trio, then blew up and blasted them

DragonMaster: thats great, and im deciding no report is needed for this

ChosenOne: thats good

LivingLegend: is layota gligirl?

ChosenOne: yes she is, and with layota now a superhero like her dad, when he's ready, he can retire, knowing anan city is safe

GroundQueen: some adventure then

ChosenOne: it was, as its sunset, and we left anan city and are looking for a good place to camp out

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: after we left anan city, we ended up spending the night at a small motel along the road, and left this morning, the 26th, and now we're having lunch of sandwhich's in a grassy meadow with a river in front of us and some of our pokemon out

SteelRocks: that sounds nice and relaxing

ChosenOne: it was, until a mareep with a ribbon and bell around its neck showed up and began nuzzling kovu, which he gave a small shock to it so it would leave him alone, but that didn't work cause mareep's wool absorbed it and grew in size

MovieStar: sounds like it likes him

GroundQueen: or drawn to his electricity

ChosenOne: i doubt it, since more mareep appeasred and gathered around him to the point he had to zap them all, which caused their wool to get very fluffy, which annoyed him even more as he's now roaring in anger

LivingLegend: that must of been a sight to see though, as mareep are the eletric type wooloo

ChosenOne: it was a sight as we did have a good laugh, with kovu glaring at us for that, but i am going to give him an extra helping of his favorite food to make up for that

ChosenOne: and now a girl that's a bit younger than us around maybe 7 or 8 showed up to get the mareep to back off from kovu, but only one listened to her, the same one with the bell called fluffy

ChosenOne: and now an older woman that's clearly her mom arrived with a raichu and got the mareep to leave kovu alone, saying the girl's name is mary and had raichu use thunderbolt to get the marreep over by her as kovu now walked over to me all releaved those mareep left him alone now

DragonMaster: mareep are drawn to electricity, so that must be an electric farmer of sort, as i heard some use manetrics and others with boltunds to round up mareeps

ChosenOne: and now the mom, after she had raichu leed the mareep back, scolded mary and had her head back to the house, and invited us to her house after apologizing for the mareep gathering kovu like they did

ChosenOne: so talk in a bit, after we get to the house and when we can spare a moment

ChosenOne: at the house and managed to get a break, were the mom, named ellen apologized and said how the mareep love electricity, and in case any of us got hurt

GroundQueen: they sure do love electricity

WaterGirl: according to ellen, mary was supposed to of been watching the mareep, with mary admitting she daydreamed about an upcoming mareep festival was when the mareep escaped

SteelRocks: that would do it if she's focusing on something else than the mareep

DragonMaster: its easy to get distracted when your watching pokemon you were supposed to be watching, only for them to wander off when the moment your back was turned or you weren't paying attention

MovieStar: almost like with togepi misty, only he wanders off

ChosenOne: i know i want to see that festival, as it sounds intresting to see, as the wool of the mareep are just as important as the wool of wooloo and dubwool, including mareep judging and pokemon battling, but i can't since apparently you have to live in the vally to enter, with it in 5 days, but we're not going to see it

LivingLegend: that sucks you can't enter

ChosenOne: it does, as mary even said she wanted to enter the festival after i revealed i won the zephyr badge and showed my badge in my badge case, but ellen said she was too young to enter and apparently not ready for battling by saying she still has trouble handling the mareep out in the field and handling them in battle

ChosenOne: plus saying she needs to focus on the mareep and not on battling

OldTimer: thats not right

OldTimer: it doesn't matter how old a child is, they can enter a competition, like at a festival, just as long as they have at least someone old enough with them, like a parent, guardian, or even say an older sibling with them to 'lend a hand' if needed, with the youngest age being the average of 5 to enter, depending on the region

OldTimer: its really only anything league and contest based she would be too young to enter since she needs her trainers liscene for those

DragonMaster: timer's right, mary is aloud to enter since she's not much younger than you chosen, since it sounds like its ellen just doesn't want mary to get upset about losing, which is part of being a trainer, as your losses help you grow as a trainer

ChosenOne: ill let them both know that & also as i was chatting to you guys, brock offered us to help out with caring for the mareep, with ellen accepting the help, which is what we're doing now, just taking a quick chat break, as kovu, farkas, and vilkus kept the mareep heard from wandering off, with raichu as well

ChosenOne: so after our break, we've been helping for a few hours now with getting the mareep groomed and prepped for the festival, its now evening and currently, mary and the mareep she named fluffy is outside practicing thunder shock

GroundQueen: did you talk to ellen about her not letting mary enter earlier?

ChosenOne: i did when i took her to the side & pointed out to ellen mary is old enough to enter cause its a festival ment for fun, which ellen got all huffy with me and said it wasn't ny busisness to tell her how to raise he daughter

OldTimer: deffiantly did not want her daughter to enter for a personal reason

SteelRocks: and all you did was point out mary can enter cause its a festival for fun

ChosenOne: i even said to ellen it sounded like a personal reason she didn't want mary to enter, which turns out it was a personal reason

MovieStar: what was it?

DragonMaster: cause right now it sounds like a lame excuse reason

ChosenOne: it is

LivingLegend: what is the excuse?

ChosenOne: its cause she didn't want mary to get all upset and feel like a failure for losing at the battle during the festival like ellen did the 1st and only time she entered the battle at the festival when she was young

GroundQueen: thats the lamest exsuse ever

ChosenOne: it is!

ChosenOne: from what i can see, mary is determined and she seems to know one loss won't stop her to where even if she'll lose, she'll just try again and keep training

ChosenOne: anyway, mary asked me if she could battle me earlier, so im gonna have a battle with her & fluffy while i use ella, being the youngest, she's the best for that

ChosenOne: well the battle is over with ella winning in the end due to having more battling practice, and while mary was distraught, i did point out she did good for her and fluffy's first battle

ChosenOne: but during the battle, i did notice she needed to work on noticing her pokemon more than just winning the battle, unless she was say in a legit real battle and not one like this, since, fluffy ended up using up too much electricity

GroundQueen: very true, but she did do good for her first battle at least

MovieStar: and that also is a good thng, as it shows she's not one to let a loss stop her in battle

ChosenOne: mary did apologize to fluffy before going inside for dinner and even admitted she was not ready to compete in the mareep festival yet, but maybe in a year or two

ChosenOne: and i did tell her with lots of training and practice she and fluffy will both be a lot better in battles

DragonMaster: was fluffy alright at least?

ChosenOne: after getting a charge from kovu she was, and a nice rest she will be

ChosenOne: now heading back to the house for some dinner, as mary is seeing she's not ready yet, all on her own

ChosenOne: alright, its moring of te 27th and a lot happened last night

GroundQueen: why are you awake last night instead of asleep sweetie?

ChosenOne: ellen woke us up cause a storm arrived and she's taking all of us and the mareep out to a cliff to collect the electricity to make their wool look good for the festival

DragonMaster: that makes sense why your up then, electrical storms are good for the festivle

ChosenOne: and when we got to the cliff, with kovu out, eager as well for a good storm to charge him up, same with raichu, but he hid with us, where we saw the lightning strike, making the wool fluffier on the mareeps, while kovu got hit and charged up

OldTimer: must of been a sight to see

ChosenOne: it was, then after the storm clouds left, the trio showed up again, so we had to deal with them to save the mareep, as the trio had lights all over their hot air balloon

LivingLegend: again

ChosenOne: again

ChosenOne: to make it simple, when mary called for raichu to use thunderbolt, but the trio grabbed raichu with a grabber and caged him in the balloon

MovieStar: not raichu!

ChosenOne: thats when i called for kovu to use his thunderbolt, and it hit the energy panel, making the lights light up more, where thanks to that charge from the storm, and his determination, he overpowered the energy panel till it smoked and the lights blew up, making the balloon caught on fire and fell, freeing the mareep and raichu who broke free of the cage

DragonMaster: good on kovu

ChosenOne: then after some more fighting the trio, fluffy became supercharged with help from the other mareeps and with kovu, both of them blasted the trio off, and also weezing and arbok as ellen showed her skills in battle took

SteelRocks: thats good

ChosenOne: and ellen even gave mary an old pokeball for mary to have fluffy be her actual pokemon

LivingLegend: thats great!

ChosenOne: now we're leaving again to continue to the azela gym, but we'll be cheering mary on in the distance

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: after another day of traveling, making it the 28th, we encountered this man and his scizor, which was a new pokemon for me, brock, & misty to all scan in, and he said his name is Muramasa and he runs this elite training school

DragonMaster: thats the guy i was talking about who was a former elite 4 who put together his own trainer school when he left the elite 4

ChosenOne: okay & what was his typing?

DragonMaster: i beleive it was was bug types he specialized in, but i could be wrong on that & i believe the name of his scizor is masamune

MovieStar: that is some name for his scizor, since i heard of him too

ChosenOne: okay & when we were in the area he was training in with his scizor, with scizor about to attack us as kakashi was ready to protect us

SteelRocks: no doubt misty wasn't happy seeing scizor

ChosenOne: she wasn't, and she even yelled at muramasa for letting his pokemon run around and attack, which translates to attacking us cause of her fear of bug types, while kakashi stopped his defensive mode once scizor backed off and brock dragged misty away to cool off

ChosenOne: muramasa apologized after that and invited us to also see his elite training school

DragonMaster: that trainer brings out quite the number of top trainers over the years, as many made it to the top battles of the johto league

ChosenOne: good to know, and now i want to see that school even more

LivingLegend: better than pokemon tech

OldTimer: that traienr school was just a joke

ChosenOne: apparently he also recoginzed me and kakashi from the indigo league and said i was the kind of trainer he wsas looking for

ChosenOne: so we've been at the school for a while now, with muramasa giving us the tour of the trainer school & even introduced us to his top student shingo and i had to ask to battle him to see what makes him the top student

LivingLegend: good luck in the battle

ChosenOne: nevermind, i don't like how shingo does his battles

GroundQueen: is he a jerk when in battle?

ChosenOne: nope

ChosenOne: what he did was once i challanged him to a battle, he took his laptop out and began looking until he found my trainer page on this database he said is on there for i believe every known trainer there is, from the past five years, showing me with all my known pokemon and my indigo and orange island wins

SteelRocks: every known trainer from the past five years you typed?

ChosenOne: yes

ChosenOne: and when i asked what he meant by that, he said it took him a while, but updated it months ago and now he has data on all the gym leaders & elite 4's from the PLA regions, including even all the known famous trainers from alola, the kauhna's and trial captains he said, and a few ace trainers and rangers stationed there, so he knows all their pokemon and battle stratigies

ChosenOne: he even said he has you guys, the regional champions on the database he has on his laptop, including geeta as part of the champions despite still being paldea's chairwoman, with shingo even showing us your trainer pages, pokemon, and stratigies

ChosenOne: and he also boasted how this could help him beat all the regional champions of the PLA without and 'wasting my time in the gyms and the league', his words not mine

SquintyEyes: he even mocked me for my league performance when i was 10

WaterGirl: and me for only being 1-2 badged level at my family gym

ChosenOne: and said how i have a mix of powerful pokemon, and rely heavily on their powerful attacks

MovieStar: excuse me?

SteelRocks: he uses a laptop for his battles? and data?

OldTimer: i know im old, but using a laptop with data on there about your opponent for planning your battles doesnt even make any sense

GroundQueen: that shouldn't even be aloud

LivingLegend: this just makes him sound like a lazy trainer

DragonMaster: imagine if any criminals were to get their hands on that laptop, since he admitted he has database's of us, our gym leaders, our elites, along with geeta and her gym leaders and elite 4, plus even alola's own kahuna's, trial captains, and other trainers there

LivingLegend: that sounds bad

SteelRocks: this IS bad leon

OldTimer: imagine if not just any criminal organization, but also black markets, & any other organizations that want to take down the regions from the PLA, and even us by using this information to do so

DragonMaster: what shingo did in a way counts as espionage cause he techniaclly used that database to spy on the league to take a cheap and easy way to beat us champions, just so he doesn't have to do the league and gyms

GroundQueen: he'll also be facing criminal charges for this

MovieStar: and even jail time

ChosenOne: and to think, all i said was he was using a laptop to take the easy way out on training and here i found out that's illegal and possible prison time

ChosenOne: when shingo put my profile he had of me up, he flat out refused and said he wasn't gonna battle me cause he knew he was gonna lose cause of not just according to his data, it was also me winning the indigo league, defeating the kanto elite 4 and was one of the few trainers that pushed the team dragon used, & my orange island league win also prevented him from wanting to battle me

ChosenOne: plus his data showed vilkus being the first dusk form lycanroc, vulcan going mega form against drake's dragonite, and his data showed kakashi in his battle bond form

LivingLegend: at least that gives a good reason to not go against you, but shows how much of a whimp he is on not going against you

WaterGirl: and now ash called him a lousy and lazy excuse of trainer & how he's nothing without his precious data and laptop, but he just ignored her as he walked away, not caring she insulted him, with muramasa saying how shingo 'lost his way' and hasn't battled in over a year cause of that & is so convinced he can predict any battle outcome with just the data in his laptop about the trainer he's against

GroundQueen: thats just fucking stupid

OldTimer: that boy is indeed nothing without his laptop, since pokemon are way more than facts and figures

WaterGirl: after he said that, brock told muramasa how shingo having that data is illegal cause crimanals can use that data to take down the leagues of the PLA, which muramasa paled at that cause he thought there was nothing wrong with shingo making that data

DragonMaster: im contacting looker of the international police so he can confiscate shingo's laptop and see if he will face crimanl charges even

SquintyEyes: good and it looks like the trio is after his laptop, since he went to the outdoor part of the cafeteria and went to a vending machine to get something

SquintyEyes: and looker got here, no doubt with a pokemon that teleported him here quickly

SquintyEyes: also, what ash actually said to shingo was, 'YOUR JUST A FUCKING LAZY, PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A TRAINER WHOSE NOTHING WITHOUT HIS PRECIOUS LAPTOP!'

MovieStar: if i was that age, im certain i would of swore at him

SteelRocks: from what it sounds, no coordinators and performers on his laptop data yet

GroundQueen: key word is 'yet' but their not his prime targets, but the rangers might be

OldTimer: deffiantly check to see if data on the rangers from the ranger union made it to his laptop

DragonMaster: deffiantly will check on that, and data on all the ace trainers

ChosenOne: of course, muramasa wished this didn't have to go this far, and i could just simply do a battle, beat shingo, and this is enough to get him away from the laptop data

LivingLegend: things don't always turn out like you wanted it to, and that does suck

ChosenOne: it does, but at least shingo will learn his lesson

WaterGirl: stopped the trio before they had a chance to do anything, with shingo looking up the trio on his laptop & since those 3 are not there, he had to add it in when the trio insulted him, leading to a battle against shingo's scizor he named blade against the trio and their pokemon, complete with a webcam to record the battle

SteelRocks: how did the trio do against him?

WaterGirl: the trio lost to one quick attack and before they were blasted off by another one, kakashi interfierd and stopped blade with his own speed, with the trio recalling their pokemon and hiding behind us for safety and out of fear

SquintyEyes: then, when shingo was whining about kakashi interfereing with the battle, ash made it clear to shingo there's way more to battling than just winning with laptop data, but he refused to listen to her and before he could get back onto his laptop ash slammed it shut, but not enough to break the screen

DragonMaster: good cause an intact screen is better for the investigation, but not fully nessicary, just makes it easier

SquintyEyes: after that, she began yelling at shingo again by calling him again, a lazy, pathetic excuse of a trainer, who wouldn't even know what a real battle is, which not only biated him, it led to him battling her with blade against heracross, i mean svend, with svend winning

SquintyEyes: and the battle went with ash calling for leer and blade was too fast to stop, and heracross was fighting back againt metalclaw, and even injured scizor with horn attack, as ash battles like that of a trainer with years of experience instead of just over a year experience, as she's trusting her instincts in battle, while shingo was struggling to focus on heracross and the laptop data

SquintyEyes: but he did end up battling without his laptop when scizor using agility was too fast and ash had hi relax and wait for scizor to come to him, and landed that hit on scizor with fury attack, as metal claw failed, and in the end, ash won, even with shingo battling without his laptop

SteelRocks: good, that got him to stop using the laptop and focus on the battle itself

WaterGirl: after the battle and shingo still surprised he lost, ash grabbed his laptop before he could take it back and handed it to looker & when shingo protested since its still his laptop, looker verified having the data, pokemon, and battle stratgies of the gym leaders, elite 4's, alolan trainers, paldea's trainers

WaterGirl: and even the regional champions on not only being very illegal, that counts as espionag to where shingo is looking at prison time & even pointed out, criminals would use this data to take down the PLA by knowing all the info on the elites and champions

MovieStar: and shingo's reaction to the prison part?

WaterGirl: petrefied to the point he did start crying cause he was afraid to go to prison for something he apparently didn't know was very illegal

OldTimer: good

DragonMaster: got the report from looker and the laptop & the data will be sent to the league and then destoryed, after the data is siffed through with me being there to make sure no one steals it, to see who is all on there

ChosenOne: since we didn't want to deal with any this anymore, we're leaving once looker leaves, cause we're almost to azelea town anyway

ChosenOne: on the bright side, i did finally get the chance to tell jessie about why she wasn't able to go into nursing school

GroundQueen: how did she take it?

ChosenOne: while she was glad to know it wasnt cause her in general, but she wasnt too thrilled it was due to the fact the couple in charge of the system were the reason

ChosenOne: but she was happy to finally know who her father is and the reason she was denied is all cause he didn't want to constantly deal with his affair child around his wife

DragonMaster: given the fact he and his wife are still alive, i wouldnt be surprised she's going to see those 2 again

ChosenOne: she mentioned that

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: so its been another day since we left the school, a.k.a. the 29th now, and were so far in a forest & slowly making our way to azeala town, as its very close, to like another day or 2 away from us

GroundQueen: badge number 2 for you girls

WaterGirl: thats right

ChosenOne: and now, after making sure we don't get lost in the forest as brock was looking in the guide book, we just encountered a trainer around the same age as brock asking us 'kids' if we seen any wild cyndaquil

OldTimer: now thats just rude of him

DragonMaster: well as far as i know, there's no wild cyndaquil's in that forest, since their mainly in hotter areas of johto

ChosenOne: good to know and when i said that to him, he stormed off in anger and had some, choice words said to us

LivingLegend: i don't like the sound of that guy

SteelRocks: neither do i

MovieStar: that guy just sounds like bad news

SquintyEyes: i agree, but i think we might be dealing with him for the time being

GroundQueen: it sounds like it

ChosenOne: so we had another run-in with the trio as we were foragining the forest for edible berries and items to sell, with them having another mecha to attack us and take our pokemon when we managed to lose them by running out of the forest and towards a rock wall with many small caves when this little guy popped out of one of the caves cyndaquil.jpeg

DragonMaster: i'd be darn, there was a wild cyndaquil in your area

ChosenOne: from what i could tell, cyndaquil is female and very young from the tone of her voice, even at the distance from us

GroundQueen: from the picture, she does look very young

OldTimer: like she's possibly still a baby

ChosenOne: i think she might be still a baby, with us getting ready to climb up to where's she's at to greet her

ChosenOne: but first, that jerk guy showed up again and he sent out his sandslash to attack us, so we have to deal with him now & no doubt still the trio around the area

ChosenOne: sorry it took so long, as in a few hours, but good news!

MovieStar: what is it?

ChosenOne: brock has a new pokemon & its that cyndaquil we saw

SteelRocks: good for brock

LivingLegend: sounds like quite the tale on getting cyndaquil

SquintyEyes: its sure was

ChosenOne: how brock got cyndaquil, to start, that jerk, whom we found out his name is koji, had sandslash run up to the caves and fires sand attack at us to prevent us from getting up there, and when he got up to that same ledge he laughed at us

OldTimer: what a jerk move

ChosenOne: then when he went into the cave system to go after cyndaquil, with brock going after him and into the cave with farkas being sent out to go with him

ChosenOne: while me and misty oppted to deel with the trio in their meowth mecha, leading to eventually a giant ball of sort was fired into the cave system and it exploded in there sending brock, farkas, & cyndaquil flying out of the caves

DragonMaster: did the three get hurt?

SquintyEye: nothing more but simple bruises, otherwise all 3 of us were fine, but that koji jerk really pissed me off as he kept calling me 'kid' despite us both being teenagers, but farkas did scare sandslash at least

MovieStar: that jerk and sandslash deserved that

ChosenOne: as for dealing with the trio, me and misty & our pokemon sent the trio blasting off again, while brock was comforting cyndaquil, since she was scared with cinder letting herself out to also comfort cyndaquil

ChosenOne: then koji showed up again and demaned brock to give him cyndaquil, which he refused, since koji is not a nice guy, leading to koji battling brock for cyndaquil, with cyndaquil battling for brock, with her managing to win despite her young age and her fire typing

SteelRocks: that is impressive though for her to beat a sandslash

ChosenOne: after that, koji tried to take cyndaquil anyway, leading to both cyndaquil and cinder to flamethrower him in anger

GroundQueen: good for both girls to do that

ChosenOne: after that, cyndaquil caught herself in one of brocks' pokeballs, with him using his carry limit so he can still have all his pokemon with him, with cinder immidiantly taking on the role of being cyndaquil's big sister

MovieStar: adorable

ChosenOne: it is & now we're continuing on our way, but first, cyndaquil even had something else with her she apparently found in the caves and gave to brock

LivingLegend: what was it?

ChosenOne: this megastone.jpeg

MovieStar: a mega stone for typhlosion

ChosenOne: yep! and brock's going to keep it for when cyndaquil evolves when she wants to

OldTimer: maybe you'll find the other mega stones for the johto starters

ChosenOne: i hope so, since so far, kanto and hoenn have megaforms

GroundQueen: got a name for cyndaquil brock?

SquintyEyes: not really, but if she wants a name, then she'll be named, with her ability being blaze, and so far she knows 5 atttacks, which is flamethrower, which we saw her use, and also tackle, smokescreen, quick attack, and swift, with apparantly she had two egg moves, the locked one is double kick, and the other close to being unlocked is by surprise agility, which she shouldn't know, unless one of her parents know it

DragonMaster: i did send out an alert about koji to the officer jenny's to keep an eye out for him

ChosenOne: good

SquintyEyes: and on the plus, with cyndaquil being still a baby, it helps me with my breeder class, since part of it involves me taking care of baby pokemon belonging to other people, which is togepi and ella that fall in that category, and i need to care for my own baby pokemon, which is now cyndaquil

SquintyEyes: and also i need to take care of an egg born, one that belongs to someone else, which again is togepi, and the other is my own

MovieStar: that works

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: after traveling the rest of the 29th & the 30th, its october 1st now, and we finally made it to azalea town and dad, are you aware there's a drought here cause of the high heat?  with the plants even dried up

ChosenOne: cause when we got to town, a sign was posted about the gym being closed cause of the drought

DragonMaster: i wasn't aware of this

DragonMaster: ill send bugsy a message and ask him why he didn't alert me of this drought and i can send a relief team to help the town out

ChosenOne: to help us cool off before we even reached the town, ella doused us with powder snow after misty sent out loki to use water gun with triton doing the same with his own water gun, then i recalled ella so the heat doesn't get to her

GroundQueen: don't forget about the gs ball, kurt lives in that town

ChosenOne: thanks for the reminder queen, cause i would of forgot we should meet kurt first before me and misty have our gym battle against bugsy when the gym is open again

DragonMaster: i just got off the phone with bugsy and i asked him about the drought, where he said he forgot to mention the drought going on and quickly apologized for not alerting the league about the drought, since the slowpoke here normally make it rain when they yawn

DragonMaster: and to top it off, its been a few months this was going on

SteelRocks: im surprised bugsy didn't alert you and the league sooner

DragonMaster: same here

ChosenOne: if they want rain that bad, why don't they get some water types that know rain dance?

DragonMaster: ill bring that up with bugsy when i get the chance to

DragonMaster: meanwhile, just be careful when walking around the city since the people can get pretty testing when the slowpokes get their tails stepped on by complete accident, especially since its the slowpokes at fault for leaving their tails in the way

WaterGirl: so its like cherrygrove city with the quagsire being highly protected

DragonMaster: exactly

WaterGirl: and now ash accidently stepped on the tail of a slowpoke when trying to avoid the tail of a different one, with the one she stepped on moving its tail to where she was about to step

SquintyEyes: and now some local saw this and shouted so loud now AN ANGRY MOB IS CHASING US!

DragonMaster: pm me if needed & ill deal with those idiots myself and make it clear to the city to quite whinnning when a slopoke gets their tail stepped on, and remind them that thje slowpokes are the ones that put their tails in the way

ChosenOne: we lost that angry mob in the local park thanks to a man wearing a slowpoke costume, and he gave us slowpoke costumes to wear with triton returning to his pokeball temporarily, while kakashi hid in the shadows as we sat still

ChosenOne: good those people gave up looking for us

LivingLegend: why would those people go that crazy over slowpoke to the point they form an angry mob over something so stupid?

SquintyEyes: according to the man that saved us from that mob, he said the slowpokes are treated like gold here, and how 400 years ago, azealea town was in a drought like this one in a way, then said how one day a slowpoke arrived in town and when it yawned it started to rain, which apparently saved the town

DragonMaster: thats correct on that legend, and since then, slowpokes in this city have been treated with respect, too much respect to be precise to where you hurt a slowpoke, even by accident, these idiot residents treat you like the worst person ever and chse you out of town or even demand you get sent to prison for life

OldTimer: isn't that a bit too harsh to send people to prison over accidently harming a slowpoke?

DragonMaster: i already had a report sent to me how those idiot towns people actually chased the former nurse joy out of the city when bugsy was away once, all because there was a pokemon in critical condition she needed to focus on and not some random wild slowpoke that accidently hurt itself to where it had minor injuries

GroundQueen: so those people made it clear the slowpokes will always be more important than other pokemon, & if a slowpoke has an injury, no matter how major or minor, nurse joy is expected to drop everything she's doing and put the slowpoke first

DragonMaster: precisly, with that nurse joy even sending a complaint to me about the city itself

SteelRocks: did she find a different place to be a nurse joy at?

ChosenOne: she did in kanto, mainly in one of the pokemon centers in the smaller towns & she was young anyway at the time

MovieStar: which nurse joy replaced her?

DragonMaster: the one that replaced her is on the older side who also was many of the nurse joys that served in the cipher war, so she will not put up with attitude of those residences when a slowpoke gets hurt and demand she drops everything to put that slowpoke first

OldTimer: good, a war vetran like that nurse joy not only has thick skin, since she has seen so much during the chipher war, there is nothing those people of azeala town cant throw at her she can't handle

DragonMaster: thats right and she also has her own pokemon that would not hesitate to protect her even from the more obnoxious residents, like her hydregion for example

ChosenOne: anyway.....when misty asked the man why he was wearing that slowpoke costume, he said he didn't want to scare the slowpokes, then left cause he remembered he had something to do, so now he left

ChosenOne: and since we still have a mob after us & need to find kut, we'll have to look for his house while in the costumes

DragonMaster: ill send his adress to make the search easier

ChosenOne: thanks dragon

ChosenOne: got to kurts house, which wasnt fun in these stupid costumes cause a bunch of idiots getting all whiny over something stupid, but luckily, we managed to ditch them once we were out of the town

ChosneOne: anyway, when we got there, a little girl named maizie was there, who said she's kurt's granddaughter and after we asked about her grandfather, she said he wasn't home and had to check somthing at the slowpoke well

LivingLegend: off to the well then

ChosenOne: off to the well

ChosenOne: got to the well and the cave thats also here and that same man that helped us hide from the mob and he's laying on the ground & still in his costume

DragonMaster: does he have any injuries?

ChosenOne: he doesn't and when asked, he said he hurt his back while trying to run away from a giant machine that to no surprise, the trio made, with them 3 mistaking him for a giant slowpoke and ran from them the best he could, until he was hurting in his back

ChosenOne: while me and misty will take care of the trio, brock is going to help the old man get to the surface

DragonMaster: pm me if you need help since im heading to the city to both adress the drought that i should of been made aware of and deal with the residents and their overprotectivness of the slowpokes

ChosenOne: the trio has been delt with and blasted off again

WaterGirl: and the river in azeala town has returned with the crops recovering

GroundQueen: thats good to know

DragonMaster: i see it even

SteelRocks: now you think you girls could breifly tell us what happened?

WaterGirl: the trio was cathing slowpokes in a giant net & said their plan was to capture the slowpoke and get rich by charging the residents to have the slowpokes make it rain

ChosenOne: i had both kakashi and svend deal with the trio and while svend did well against the mecha, but he got injured to where he needed to be recalled and treated at the pokemon center, with the trio escapeing in their machine by digging a tunnel deeper underground

WaterGirl: thats was when one of the slowpoke letted out a large cry as the other slowpokes the trio did not capture began to walk outside the cave as us with brock and the old man following the slowpokes outside

ChosenOne: we saw them line up on the edge of a cliff that surrounds the well and then the slowpokes started to yawn all at once, causing storm clouds to gather as it started to rain, with us having to climb onto the roof of the well cause the area began flooding, which washed the machine the trio used out and we blasted them off again

WaterGirl: and luckily, when the machine broke, the caught slowpoke were freed and uninjured

DragonMaster: that explains the sudden rain as i was addressing the town about their overprotection of the slowpokes and seeing the damages done cause of the drought

DragonMaster: and don't worry about the angry mod anymore, i made sure all that were invovled got severely punished and made it clear when a slowpoke gets hurt on accident by someone, the fault lies on the slowpoke, not the person, & those that refuse to listen and attack the inocent victim will face jail time, or depending on the age, juvie

ChosenOne: thanks for doing that dad

SquintyEyes: i still do wonder if the slowpoke really did make it rain or if it was just a coincidense

ChosenOne: i think they did, but then again, pokemon are still a big mystery

LivingLegend: but in the end, the rain was needed

ChosenOne: very true

ChosenOne: back in town and the river is indeed running again with the crops healing & the slowpoke in the park are enjoying a dip in the refilled fountain

MovieStar: thats good to hear the town is doing better

ChosenOne: and once again, thanks dragon for taking care of those townpeople cause we can walk around here without the need to wear slowpoke costumes

ChosenOne: even the old man thanked us and offered to give us a tour of the town, until misty said we still had to find kurt, until the man revealed when he took the head of his costume off he's actually kurt

SteelRocks: convenitant

ChosenOne: we're all going back to his place cause we explained about a unique pokeball to him, with him being showed the gs ball when were in private

DragonMaster: good idea and hopefully kurt knows how to open it, since your certain there is a celebi in there

ChosenOne: same here, as we're heading there right now

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: so now that we're at kurt's house again with maizie and him talking to us & thanking us again over some drinks of soda

ChosenOne: and since we were in the privacy of his house, i showed the 2 the gs ball and explained not only how unique of a pokeball it is, but to see if he knew what type of material it was made from, since i remembered about what timer said about some pokeballs being made from different materials

OldTimer: glad you remembered me mentioning that

ChosenOne: kurt was also glad we knew it was a pokeball and was surprised to hear it could of been made with different materials & we'll make a video call to professor oak to let him know the gs ball has been delivered

DragonMaster: since your srure theres' a celebi in the gs ball, there's a shrine to celebi in the Ilex Forest, which is right near the town, so you 3 could head to the forest after going against bugsy & even see about asking kurt and maizie if the 2 want to go to the shrine, since the shrine might be the only way to get the possible celebi out

DragonMaster: otherwise, the only other shrine is located in a different forest near the small town called arborville

ChosenOne: good to know all this, and yes, we can see the shrine after the gym battles

ChosenOne: well, just got off the call with oak you

LivingLegend: whats the verdict?

ChosenOne: he wants to know if kurt finds anything out, but we didn't mention the celebi to him, other than he's stumped on the pokeball, with oak also mentioning kurt is a famous craftsman that makes special pokeballs from apricorns

GroundQueen: i heard of apricorn making for pokeballs

ChosenOne: professor oak even talked breifly about it, before he had to hang up cause some pokemon from some of his other sponsored trainers were fighting

ChosenOne: outside now and we got to see a white apricorn tree in the backyard with maizie telling us its hard work to make pokeballs from apricorns, with us even seeing kurt working on an apricorn pokeball right now, and even usign water from the slowpoke well to cool the pokeball he's making off

OldTimer: it is hard work making them, since back in my youth i met kurt when he was younger and he showed me how to make the apricorn pokeballs, and he hardly shows anyone outside his immidiantly family how to make them

DragonMaster: how did that turn out?

OldTimer: not the best until the 12th apricorn pokeball looked like it should and i still have it

ChosenOne: when i asked about the apricorn pokeballs, kurt immidiantly gave us each a fast ball from the white apricorns as thank you gifts

ChosenOne: which i couldn't help but point out they looked like the ones we see at the pokemarts, with kurt saying he's the main one that supplies the uniquie pokeballs, which also explains why those ones cost more, its cause those are not factory made pokeballs

GroundQueen: makes sense to me, he must get special payment for selling apricorn pokeballs

WaterGirl: maizie even told us there's 7 different types of apricorn pokeballs, with kurt telling us he'll make us all apricorn pokeballs, as long as we get apricorns ourselves, with maizie offering to take us to those apricorn trees

LivingLegend: i know if i was offerd, id just pick one each

ChosenOne: im aiming for that, but i still do have plenty of the ones i got at princess day

ChosenOne: went to the first two trees & the first one we stiopped at was for the pink apricorns, which are for love balls, like the one venus has, but maizie told us those ones on that tree were not ready to be picked yet

LivingLegend: maybe all the pokeballs you bought at the princess day will all be here in apricorn form

ChosenOne: just might, with the next tree we went to being the yellow apricorns for making moon balls, and before i could pick one, maizie stopped me again

SteelRocks: were those ones also not ready to be picked yet?

ChosenOne: they were ready, there was just some pokemon on the tree, which happened to of been a new one to scan pineco, with brock deciding to catch one cause he saw it as a challange for a future breeder

MovieStar: 2 pokemon so close together he caught

WaterGirl: he didn't catch it cause he tripped over a rock and hit the tree causeing the pineco to self destruct

SteelRocks: that sucks, since pineco gains steel typeing as forretress

ChosenOne: what also sucks is when we saw the pineco, one of the mystery megastones had an aura spike to the pineco

DragonMaster: you mean forretress has a mega form!?

ChosenOne: yep!

ChosenOne: and brock is now more determinded to catch a pineco cause of that, and maybe someday, mega forretress will be seen, so on our way to the remaining trees, and maybe luck on getting apricorns from these ones

ChosenOne: juust finised at the last tree, and what all happened was the third tree we found was for the green apricorns, which is used for friend balls, with them ready to be picked, and while there were beedrills, kakashi chased the beedrills away so a could pick 1 and brock picked 2 apricorns, then we ran fast before the beedril came back

DragonMaster: good on him chasing those beedrils away for the time being

WaterGirl: after that, we were led to the red apricorn tree, which is used for level balls and ash managed to grab at least 1 red apricorn, before we had to chase away some wild pokemon that thought these apricorn were food

ChosenOne: after we chased those pokemon away to a tree with actual fruit on it, we went to a tree with blue apricorns to make lure balls, with misty grabbing 4 of them, 1 for her and 1 each for her sisters while brock got one to give to his mom

ChosenOne: last was the black apricorn tree for making heavy balls and another horde of pineco were there and more wild pokemon, with brock catching one of the pineco in the fast ball he was given and the pineco he caught happened to of been the one with the most personality

SteelRocks: good for brock getting another pokemon

ChosenOne: i am deffiantly giving him that megastone later, with me catching a black apricorn the fell and hit my head

OldTimer: a decent haul of apricorns

ChosenOne: back at kurt's house and he's making all 10 apricorn pokeballs we picked and while he did say and he was still clueless on the gs ball when brock asked him, he did notice the gs ball is sealed by a powerful lock

LivingLegend: maybe that shrine will unlock it

ChosenOne: we even brought up that shrine in the Ilex forest and how we're stopping there after the gym tomorrow and we asked kurt and maizie if they wanted to come with to the shrine, which the two agreeed to going with us there

ChosenOne: well, talk tomorrow then

GroundQueen: at least no trio encounter while getting those apricorns

ChosenOne: very true

WaterGirl: it was a surprise they didn't show up, since those three would of for the apricorns

SquintyEyes: and it made getting the apricorns easier, so heading to the pokemon center, then gym tomorrow for the girls to get their second badges

SquintyEyes: as for pineco's moveset, he knows only self-destruct, spikes, rapid spin, and tackle, with 2 egg moves for pin missle & toxic spikes, both locked

SteelRocks: fair moveset

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: next day on the way to the gym now, with misty nervous cause of this being a bug type gym

GroundQueen: understandable cause of her fear

LivingLegend: got a plan for your battle?

ChosenOne: misty & me decided we'll tell bugsy if we're using younger or older pokemon when we get to the gym, but i know i want to use heracross and misty knows she wants to use trition and maybe togepi if she thinks he's ready

MovieStar: either way, good luck to both you girls

ChosenOne: thanks star

ChosenOne: at the gym and it resembles a forest garden on the inside with lots of bug types i recognize here, including the grubbin that was rescued who immidiantly came to greet us

GroundQueen: that sounds lovely

ChosenOne: despite her fear, misty's holding herself together, but is clinging to togepi in one arm and triton in the other arm for comfort

DragonMaster: it shows how well she's improving, but going against bugsy will be another story

ChosenOne: as for bugsy, he went to greet us, when we found him stuck on a tree

MovieStar: how come he didn't get down?

ChosenOne: the ladder got knocked down

OldTimer: that explains it

ChosenOne: kakashi using his ninja skills got bugsy down from that tree

ChosenOne: with him asking now whose going first, which is misty again, with misty's battle a 3vs3, with 2 younger & one older, while its another 4vs4 for me, with it being 2 older and 2 younger

SteelRocks: brocks gonna tell us the battle?

SquintyEyes: you know it, with ash going to the stands with me as misty went to the battlefield first

SquintyEyes: and bugsy letted the first pokemon out, and its a spinarak with misty............

GroundQueen: what happened brock?

DragonMaster: i looked it up on the gym camera's and i saw misty shaking so hard with a pokeball and just screamed and ran out of the gym, like it was on fire

OldTimer: her fear is still getting to her then

SteelRocks: apparently, meaning she will have to rebattle tomorrow or later today

SteelRocks: and lance?  are you saying you could of relied on the gym cameras to see the battles instead of the chat?

DragonMaster: yes, but in my defense, no one ever brought it up, and using the chat was just a force of habbit

SquintyEyes: well with misty still outside, her battle declared a forefit, ash is heading to the field instead

SquintyEyes: now for the first battle of younger pokemon, bugsy letted out a pinsir, which works cause ashs letted svend out

OldTimer: using 2 bug types with a rivalry to bring out their natural instints in battle, a very good choice

SquintyEyes: it was a close battle too, with it resulting in pinsir being taken down when svend used megahorn and pinsir used close combat, but svend did get injured

GroundQueen: you saw on the gym camera's lance, was it a good battle?

DragonMaster: it was, and very intense even

SquintyEyes: for the next battle, which is for the other younger pokemon, bugsy sent out that same larvesta that was rescued from damian, only its now a volcarona

OldTimer: that great to hear the larvesta is fully evolved, since it takes a while for larvesta to evolve into volcarona, which also shows bugsy's skills as a gym leader and bug trainer

SquintyEyes: and ash is keeping svend out, but next to her as she knows its risky, but she's sending out ella

MovieStar: that is risky, her being weak to fire types

SquintyEyes: at least if needed, svend can finish volcarona, and ash is having ella start with swift, but bugsy had volcarona hit those stars of swift with fire spin, but ash called for confuse ray, which itachi taught ella, and it hit volcarona

DragonMaster: i saw that, and it did do damage to volcarona, as ash called for moonblast, as that hit volcarona again, but bugsy called for firey dance, hitting ella before ash had the chance to get her to dodge, knocking ella out, and burning her

OldTimer: firey dance is a very good attack, and very deadly

GroundQueen: no surprise ash will be hearing it from nurse joy

SquintyEyes: i don't doubt it as svend is now back and he's doing well, and that rock blast landed a good hit on volcarona, and it looks like svend unlocked double-edge, as that took down volcarona

SquintyEyes: and also svend is down, so now its the older pokemon battles

SteelRocks: good on ash though

SquintyEyes: as for the third battle, bugsy used a scolipede from unova, with me and ash scanning it, and misty as she's back, but is still freaking out, while ash sent out brutus

MovieStar: a good matchup

DragonMaster: it was, and not only ash went all out with brutus, so did bugsy with scolipede, and to sum it up, brutus finished scolipede with a well placed wild charge and iron head, after bugsy called for poison tail, so brutus will need to be at the pokeon center too

SquintyEyes: now for the last battle, and ash sent out vikingr, while bugsy sent our another new pokemon for us to scan, a centiskorch from galar, and this is quite a 'firey' battle

LivingLegend: because its fire types battling

SquintyEyes: thats right, and vikingr won in the end, as ash was given the hive badge

ChosenOne: im back and since there's plenty of time today, we're heading back to kurt's house to pick up our pokeballs from kurt and check out that celebi shrine with the gs ball and hopefully, see if that possible celebi can be freed

ChosenOne: then maybe later today if misty is feeling up for it, she can retry for her second badge

GroundQueen: you feeling better misty?

WaterGirl: honestly, no, but i need to face my fear of bug types, so if there's time today, i will have a rematch, otherwise, it will be tomorrow

DragonMaster: just don't let your fear control you, otherwise bug types will be the only pokemon trainers use against you for an easy badge

WaterGirl: i will

Chapter Text

ChosenOne: alright!  we got our map of the ilex forest and after a call to professor oak, we're gonna find the shrine to celebi in the ilex forest, then after that, misty's rematch, then the apricorn pokeballs

ChosenOne: then we're heading to goldenrod city for the next badge

MovieStar: a good plan

LivingLegend: hopefully there was a celebi in the gs ball

ChosenOne: same

ChosenOne: first we're going to find the shrine, then mark the gps location to make it easier to find it again when we have the gs ball with us and also both kurt and maizie hold on

GroundQueen: whats wrong?

SteelRocks: is it the trio again?

ChosenOne: theres a boy around our ages giving his pokemon, a farfetch'd commands, such as 'cutting attack' and the pokemon completely ignored his trainer

OldTimer: makes sense farfetch'd is not listening if that boy is getting the names of those attacks wrong

DragonMaster: if he's a rookie and still figuring things out then that makes sense since more rookies do that, but if he's been a trainer for a while, then that's just pathetic he can't figure out what the names of certain attacks are called

WaterGirl: and ash just confronted him by pointing out the name of the attack he wants to use is not 'cutting attack' and instead the attack is called 'cut', which the boy was embarrsased about and had farfetch'd use cut

LivingLegend: did it work?

ChosenOne: it didnt with farfetch'd refusing to listen to the boy who said his name is slyvester and he is indeed a new trainer that had trouble remembering the names of attacks

SteelRocks: why don't he just write down the attacks if he wants to be an active battler?

ChosenOne: not sure if he will do that, since slyvester said he wants to make this purifying charcoal like his dad does, then brock told us how its burnt wood thats used for fuel that can also purify water and air even

GroundQueen: i never heard of purifiying charcoal

DragonMaster: i remeber that

DragonMaster: the ilex forest is famous for the purified charcoal

WaterGirl: brock even told us that & he even said he uses the charcoal for a recipe he calls 'brocks rockin rice'

ChosenOne: sylvester then said how he needed to teach farfetch'd how to cut the wood into perfect blocks only farfetch'd doesn't look happy to be working with syleverster and thinks little of him, & if its cause he has trouble remembering attacks, then i can see why it angers farfetch'd, since he even is saying that angers him

MovieStar: not being able to remember attacks, even the most basic would anger just abiout anyone

ChosenOne: i cant empathize with sylvester since i never had an issue like that with any of my pokemon, save for a short while when vulcan was a charmeleon, but thats usually normal for a charmeleon to have an attitude, with his more so cause of his stronger dragon bloodline, but at least farfetch'd and sylvester are willing to keep working on getting along

OldTimer: thats good to know

ChosenOne: while those work on that, we're going to still find the shrine, then head to the center to call Oak, and call bugsy so he knows when misty wants her rematch today before we leave

ChosenOne: we did not find the shrine, so instead we road on kovu back to town to the pokemon center to call professor oak, which we already did and told him about kurt still is stumped by the gs ball but did find that it has a special seal that needs something to open it, which even oak was stumped about

DragonMaster: i would be too if i saw a pokeball that couldn't be opened

DragonMaster: and don't worry on not finding the shrine since it can difficult to find it, I know i tried to find it once before years ago and wasn't able to

WaterGirl: we also told him we were heading back to kurt's house after the call to pick up all the apricorns we picked that kurt made into pokeballs for us, and ash reported about her getting her hive badge, but me having to have a rematch later today because i ran out in fear yesterday

ChosenOne: even the pokemon i currently have at the ranch, itachi, falkor, storm, sobek, & chikorita all had to greet me

GroundQueen: did you do any switching around your pokemon again?

ChosenOne: i did

ChosenOne: a brought itachi & falkor back and just sent venus back, with also chikorita being brought back, now that her attitude and jealousy has been worked on, with falkor even giving her some training with her curent moves, and she learned from him cut and bullet seed

MovieStar: thats good her jealousy has been worked on, since her jealousy could of caused problems later down the road

ChosenOne: and now that we hung up with oak, we were looking at the map to see what to take to goldenrod city so we're prepared for when we leave after.....

ChosenOne: and sylvester ran in & from what we can hear from him talking to nurse joy, apparently farfetch'd ran off cause he forgot the names of the attacks again

SteelRocks: again, ask him what attacks he wants farfetch'd to know, write those down, and hand him the list

SteelRocks: its as easy as that

ChosenOne: we'll tell him that, since we vollunteered to go to his dad's house to see if farfetch'd ran there like last time farfeatch'd ran off according to nurse joy and search the forest if needed

SquintyEyes: at sylvetor's house where we saw his dad yosaku & his magmar are making purifying charcoal, with slyvestor admiting farfetch'd ran away again and that dad of his is a complete & utter jerk

DragonMaster: how so?

WaterGirl: he was yelling and insulting sylvester and calling him a terrible and pathetic excuse of a trainer, no matter how upset it was making his son, he just kept at it and boasted about himself being such a great trainer

LivingLegend: jerk

GroundQueen: egocentric much

OldTimer: its his job to be teaching and helping his son become a trainer, NOT insult his son and braig about himself

OldTimer: i never would of done that to my own sons, and some people are just meant to be parents

MovieStar & GroundQueen: agreed

DragonMaster: even i agree

WaterGirl: and now ash had kakashi use water pulse on yosuka to shut him up and started yelling at HIM and berating HIM to see how he liked it and called him out on being a lazy parent that was too lazy to teach his son how to train farfetch'd and help him remember different pokemon attacks

WaterGirl: and that is despite yosuka being on and on about ash being a trainer that doesn't tell a pokemon what to do

MovieStar: while there is truth to that, that man could do it without the yelling at his son

SquintyEyes: agreed, and given yosokua's reaction to ash yelling at him, he clearly has never been yelled at, and is yelling at her now, but ash threw an aura sphere at....a....certain......area to shut him up

DragonMaster: ouch!

SteelRocks: im not even there and i can feel that

OldTimer: never make ash angry when lousy fathers are invovled

MovieStar: i dont even blame her, as that man deserved that

GroundQueen: even though she shouldn't of done that, but i too agree, a father who treats his son that way deserves that

LivingLegend: what area is brock talking about & why would that hurt?

SteelRocks, OldTimer, & DragonMaster: you'll find out when your older leon

WaterGirl: after ash used that aura spehere to shut yosokua up, she declared we'll help find farfetch'd, so we're heading back to the forest to find farfetch'd

ChosenOne: well, after looking around, we found the shrine to celebi & marked the GPS for it, but no farfetch'd, as sylvester said this was the area he and farfetch'd were at earlier

ChosenOne: to make it easier and faster, we're going to have all our pokemon we have on hand that are capable to are going to help us look, with all of us agreeing to meet back at the shrine in an hour

SquintyEyes: well minus pineco

LivingLegend: good luck to all of you on finding farfetch'd

ChosenOne: svend found farfetch'd!

MovieStar: what did svend have to say?

ChosenOne: he said the trio netted farfetch'd, so we have to deal with the trio again as they made their way here towards where me and sylvester are at

ChosenOne: trio has been delt with again by all of us & farfetch'd is now listening to sylvester when he saw he's not a bad trainer, he's just still learning how to be a trainer

SteelRocks: that's good farfetch'd is listening to him

ChosenOne: he even used cut perfectly on the tree cut down

ChosenOne: and even yosaku thanbked us and aplogized of his attitude towards sylvester and me, and he excepted me yelling at him gave him that eye opener he needed, with him giving us some charcoal as a thank you gift

ChosenOne: and now were going to get kurt and maizie with the gs ball to head to the shrine and see about freeing the possible celebi in there, with getting our apricorn pokeballs first

DragonMaster: let us know if it worked

Even with it late in the afternoon, Misty and Brock headed back to the shrine as Ash went back to Kurt's house riding Kovu to pick up Kurt & Maizie, and the apricorn pokeballs, while making sure the GS ball was with them as Kovu ran to the shrine.  When back at the shrine the five humans and the group of pokémon they had out saw the GS ball glowing now at the presence of the shrine, Ash noticed her rainbow feather & silver feather were both glowing from her backpack.  Setting the GS ball at the shrine and taking as both feathers to join the GS ball on the shrine, what happened next was something the group all couldn't believe was happening.  With the glowing feathers and the glowing pokeball, the GS ball was now open, revealing indeed inside was a Celebi, but unlike what Ash, Misty, and Brock's pokédex's showed about Celebi when the three scanned it, which was a green Celebi, this one here curled up at the shrine was pink, meaning this one is a shiny and looked to be asleep.

With Ash walking over to Celebi and placing a hand on it, it stirred to where it looked up at Ash and said, "You freed me from the pokeball I was in."  which took everyone by surprise the Celebi could talk, but remembered the psychic typing is why Celebi could talk.  Telepathically, like Mewtwo does.

"How long were you in the GS ball for Celebi?" Ash questioned the mythical pokémon as she lifted the pokémon up and grabbed the now empty GS ball to give back to Kurt to study it as she also grabbed both feathers to put back into her backpack.
