Poke'mon: Journey across the Four Countries
2: Surskit Swarm!!
Today we find our two rookie heros resting in the small town of Oldale, stacking up on supplies and getting a decent workout..?
"May...how..is this gonna...help me...?" said Patrick trying to keep up with his rather fast friend, short of breath as well. The two were running across Oldale, with their Starter partners at their side.
"It keeps you physically fit, keeps your stamina up, and helps you and your partners get stronger, plus if we are gonna be going across towns, we need to be able to run fast, right?" May said slowing down to help Patrick catch up, "Then after this, we need to get Torchic and Treeko toughen up for the trainers that go through the paths."
"Man..I hate working out..." he muttered to himself, he looked down at Treeko who seemd to think otheriwse, the little gecko was doing frontflips while running alongside, "Treeko...how do you enjoy this?" he asked him quietly. Treeko shrugged and just continued running. Patrick was starting to slowdown, and hit a rock on his foot, causing him to trip foward, and with a loud 'BAM!', Patrick screamed in pain, covering his face.
May turned around and rushed to Patrick's side, "Oh god...Patrick, are you okay?" Patrick replied with a simple shake, May sighed and pulled out her frist aid kit in Patrick's backpack, "Luckily I asked your mother to put this in, knowing your clumsyness," She pulled out a large skincolored bandage and bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide, and smiled, "Ok, now, move your face for a second." Patrick then revealed his dirt and blood smothered face, May was rather shocked at it first, but kept her cool, and cleaned his face up with the peroxide and a small towel, then applied the bandage on the large cut on his nose, "There we go...geez I don't knwo what you would do without me" she said, and started to giggle.
Patrick blushed in embarassment, and smiled lightly, "I feel like I'm 8 years again when you use to do this after playing with Quilava."
May giggled at him and smiled, "Well I think thats a sign to stop running for the day. Let's head back to the center for while." She stood up helping Patrick up as well, and both of them started to head back to the center for a decent break.
--------------------------------------------
"Oh my goodness what happened to your face?" asked the nurse standing behind the desk.
"Uhhehe I just had a minor trip jogging this morning, it's no big deal" Said Patrick, completely forgetting that the pain that small trip caused him.
"Ah well thats a relief" said the nurse with a light smile, "Hey have you two come across anything odd while going around town this morning?"
May tilted her head in confusion, "Odd as in...?" asked curiously.
"Well the news reports have mentioned a lot of small bug Poke'mon called Surskits have been swarming along the paths to this town and Petalburg City" She said while pointing to a big poster that said to be on the lookout for them.
"Is that a bad thing?" Patrick asked whiel looking at the poster.
"Well Poke'mon live on nature, so if they tend to overpopulate in one area they could deplete it." She then handed them a set of differently shaped Poke'balls, "So the Mayor has asked trainers try to catch as many as they can and release them into other areas, these are newly deigned Net Balls, they are specifically designed to catch water and bug poke'mon, and since Surskit is both water and bug, these are usually very easy to catch with these."
May and Patrick took the set and smiled, "We'll be happy to help in anyway we can" Patrick said with a smile. Then they head abunch of loud screams and saw a group of young boys and girls runnign acorss the building, and following them were a large group of blue bug like things.
"Oh no...it's getting worse, the Surskit are coming into the town, you too go now, catch them, or repel them away." The nurse said in haste, and she herself started to go outisde with a set of two Poke'balls, "Let's go Chansey and Raichu!" Then appeared the the nurses side was a large pink Poke'mon with and egg on her belly, and small orange mouse with a long tail with a lightning bolt at the end. "I'm gonna go this way, you two head the opposite direction and near the western gate to block them out. She then ran off with her two partners.
May just grinned, "I suppose we can consider this practice, don't you agree?" she said holding up Torchic's Poke'ball.
"Yea...this is goona be fuuun" Patrick said playfully, with Treeko jumping onto his shoulder. "Alright, let's go do this!"
The two ran outside to see the Surskits just swarming the town, May called out Torchic and looked at Patrick "Alright here's the plan, I'll have Torchic scatter them with Ember, and you have Treeko ram through them with Tackle, so we can get to the gate, got it?"
"Got it" Patrick said with Treeko nodding in agreement.
"Good then let's get this started," She then pointed at the Surskits, "Ok Torchic use Ember!!" Torchic nodded and shot fireballs from her beak at the small bugs, who then just liek May planned, started to scatter up.
"Aight my turn, Treeko use Tackle!" Treeko hopeed off and ran at high speed through the remaining Surskits, causing them fall backwards to the others, which preety much repeated itself again and again like dominos. The kids nodded and ran through the opening to get to the gate, "May you were right, the jogging does help." said Patrick, realizing how much his speed improved
"See, told ya it would be handy," she said with a smile. The two reached the gate looking at how many Surskits were going through. "Okay..I don't know we can push these guys back, do you?"
Patrick pondered the thought and smiled, "We'll beat them at their own game, quick take three net balls and catch some." May didn't ask why and just took three of the six the Nurse gave her, and Patrick did the same, "Ok, here...we...go!" he threw all three, and suceccfully hit three of them, and after a few seconds they stopped shaking.
"Ok my turn, here we go" May tossed her 3, and like Patrick she got her 3 to catch as well, both kids picked their Poke'balls up and May then finally asked, "Alright why did we catch these?"
"Well Torchic and Treeko cannot do it alone, so we can use the Surskits to help fight back, far as I know the two Surskit starts off with is Quick Attack and Bubble (a/n okay im nto really sure if thats correct, I have not had a Surskit as my partner at all, casue Emerald won't let me do that, heh.), so yea, who knows we can probably keep one after this, let's make it a contest, who ever can knock back the most Surskits get to keep one as their partner, deal?" Patrick said with a grin.
"Deal...well then let's get started!" She tossed out the 3 surskits and Torchic stood next to them. Patrick did the same and Treeko stood next to them as well. "Torchic use Ember, Surskits use Quick Attack!!" Torchic launched out the fireballs, and the Surskit trio ran through the remaining at high speed.
"Alright Treeko, use Tackle, Surskits use Bubble!!" Treeko then rammed them with his head, as tke Surskits lauched a huge wave of hard bubbles at the wild ones, which cause them to fall back. "Alright it's working, let's keep at, all of you use Quick Attack!!" The Surskits then ran through the wild ones at high speed, leaving Treeko in the dust. "Oh yeah you can't use that yet...hmm aight Treeko use Leer to scare them away." Treeko then gave the wild ones and rather scary glare, with caused them to stop and run back in fear. "Good now, Surskits, use Bubble and Quickattack in combination style." The three then were charging but launching Bubbles out at the wild ones.
"You Surskits do the same" May commanded her's and they ran through them with Bubble launching out. Torchic ran too ,but not as quick, and started to launched Ember at the wild Surskits.
The nurse caught up to them as she got the Surskits to go through the South and North gate, and saw how much effort they were putting in to get those Surskits out..."perhaps they don't need my help after all, but let's be on the lookout" she said looking down at Raichu, who was still full of energy, except for her Chansey, she ran out of energy from keeping Raichu energized with her Softboiled ability. "It's impressive to see two young trainers give it their all, isn't it Raichu?" she asked happily, Raichu nodded in agreement.
"Treeko use Tackle following up with Absorb!"
"Torchic use Ember and then attack with Scratch!"
"All Surskits use Quick attack and bubble!!" They both said in Unison. And the whole team did what they were commanded, Torchic launched a fury of fire at the wild group, and then starte dto repal them with her talons. Treeko rammed into them all and grab one and bit to suck in it's energy, then was rather spontaneus, took the fainted Surskit and tossed it like a ball at the wild ones to fall back. Finally the six captured ones rammed into the small remnant and pushed them back with Bubble. The rest started to fall back, and May smiled, "Finally we pushed them all back.."
"Yeah...thank god, I think the gang's all wiped out..." Patrick said looking at the exhausted group of Poke'mon, he then looked up and saw 3 wild Surskits still standing with a mean look on them, "That can't be good..." The Surskits then started to glow brightly, and took into the sky, and they started to dim down and were a mix color of red, pink and blue, they had a small upward pointed head, had small wings in the back but big looking eye-like flaps in the front with an odd design, "What...they evolved..?" he said in shock.
"What are those things?" May said looking closely at them. But they took no time to stand still and charged at the group of Poke'mon "gasp Torchic, fight back with Ember!" Torchic then regained herself and launched a small group of fireballs, they looked rather and did nothing to the unknown Poke'mon. "It's no good...Torchics too tired, and Surskit can't do anything to these guys..."
"Treeko, go for it, use Tackle!" Treeko jumped to ram into them, but the Poke'mon just flew sideways making Treeko miss and fall onto the ground. "They're too quick to keep up with...hmmm Surskits use Bubble!!" The Surskits then launched a fury of Bubbles at them some hit to make the Poke'mon fall backwards, but they regained themselves to charge back at them. "This isn't good, we need help..."
"Then allow me to assist.." The two kids looked back and saw the nurse with Raichu at her side, "Raichu, take them out with Thunderbolt!" Raichu then started to glow with a yellow aura and then launched a large bolt of lightning at them, which brougth them to the groudn with ease, "Now use Skull Bash!" Raichu then started to charge at them, pointing his skull at them, then with a large amount of the force cause the wounded Poke'mon to fly away , and they just vanished. "Good Job Raichu, return" The nurse held out a Poke'ball and Raichu went inside it. "I was watchign and you did an excellent job to hold them back..until those Masquerain stepped in to fight.
"Ohh so that's what they are..." May said to herself quietly.
"Thank you very much...but..I think we need a good rest for while, the whole group is tired out." Patrick said holding up his tired Poke'mon.
-----------------------------------------
Patrick and May sat on the bench at the Center watching Treeko, Torchic and Surskit team eat contentfully, "Well all said and done that was good workout, May, let's do it again sometime." Patrick said jokingly.
"Heheh, yeah sounds
good." she said back, and giggled, "Soo...I guess you won
the contest, you can keep one..." she said looking down in
defeat.
'Well...y'know I owe you for the bandage and the
assistance in getting through all those Surskits...so why don't you
keep one, plus, those Masquerain look perfect for the Poke'mon
Contests." Patrick said with a reassuring tone.
May looked up in shock, "Really...you mean it?" she then jumped for joy and hugged Patrick, "Thank you thank you thank you!!"
Patrick fell backwards from losing his balance and May ended up on top of him, they looked at each otehr and blushed beet red, and stood up after a few seconds, "Umm..sorry bout that." Patrick said trying to regain his color.
"No no, it's my fault..." May said twidling her fingers. After a moment of silence, May smiled and pushed him playfully, "Heheh tryign to make a move on me, heheh." she said jokingly. Pat laughed and pushed back in retaliation.
"Well I see everyone is alright." The nurse said looking down at them, "Well I heard you planned to keep one..well why don't you give me the other five, I can use them to help keep the swarm from coming back. "
Patrick nodded "Good plan, here we go, May's the one whos keeping one." He said when handing her the 3 Net Balls he had caught them with. May handed her two of them and placed the 3rd one in her pack. Patrick looked outside and saw how bright it was still. "Well May, I suppose if we leave now we can get to Petalburg by dusk."
May nodded, and called back Surskit and Torchic, "Yeah, let's get going." Patrick called back Treeko, and grabbed his backpack.
"Nurse, I thank you for everything you've done to help us out." Patrick politely while bowing to her.
"Yes Thank you, Nurse." May said as well while bowing.
"It's no problem, just doing my job, oh and for the future, my name is Joy, and as a small heads up, my relatives run all the centers, so dont be shocked if my sibling looks a little like me in Petalburg." Joy said with a light smile.
"I'll keep that in mind," Patrick then started to walk outside and waved goodbye, with may following behind him, "Untill we meet again, Nurse Joy." they both said to her. Nurse Joy waved good-bye, and Raichu waved good-bye as well.
-----------------------------------------------
As Patrick and May walked through route 104, they started to hear a beep, they looked down at their Poke'dexs, and saw it was the source of the sound, and it was flashing, they opened it up to see the picture of their Poke'mon and a sign below them sayign they had a new move learned.
"Whoa cool, Treeko learned a new move." Patrick said looking down at the Dex.
"So did Torchic.." May said, then pushed a blue button, and said Torchic's new move along with her known moves, "So she knows Peck alone with her old moves, Ember, Focus Energy, Leer, Scratch. Huh, I didn't know Torchic knew Focus energy."
"Well along with Tackle, Leer, Absorb, Treeko now knows Quick Attack, cool!" Patrick called out Treeko, and grinned, "Okay Treeko, let's put your new skill to use, Quick attack to Petalburg!" Treeko grinned and ran at high speed to the city's direction, Patrick was rather surprised, and then tried to ran after him.
May was just standign there, "ok...leave me behind..." She then called out Surskit and Torchic, May placed Torchic on her shoulder, and looked down at Surskit, "Let's show them speed, use Quick attack!" Surskit then started to run in the direction Patrick was heading, with May following behind him. "I can't wiat to see my father..."
Well after a day of action, it seems it hasn't worn our heros out as they head up to Petalburg where May's father Norman waits, unaware how quick May is rushing to get there, as for Patrick, he feels that he missed something to do at Oldale...
'Oh no..." said Joy, as she looked down at the computer, "Patrick forgot to register..."
