Pokemon Journey: Johto, Next Generation
Chapter Three: Old friends, New Friends, New Foes
Previously in Chapter Two...
"Don't worry Mimi...we can...get Nurse Joy to take care of it...I promise everything will be alright," Kyle said, kneeling down next to Mimi.
"Y-yeah..." Mimi said, choking on her own tears.
"Come on. Let's change and find the other people-" suddenly, a familiar person came bursting in the room.
Mimi and Kyle turned around. "Nurse Joy!"
~oOo~
"Is everyone alright in here?" asked Nurse Joy.
"Yeah...it's just that Corsola's been pretty beat up battling with Carnet and his stupid Machoke," Mimi explained.
"Okay. I'll take care of Corsola and your other Pokemon's while Chansey will help take care of your wounds," Nurse Joy replied. She headed out the door and came back in with two Chansey. One of them took Totodile and Cyndaquil while Nurse Joy took Corsola. The two of them went back out of the room.
The second Chansey was left with a first aid kit and tended to Mimi and Kyle's wounds.
"I hope Corsola will be alright...she took a really big blow from that cross chop," Mimi said to Kyle as the Chansey sprayed Mimi's arm with a disinfect spray. Mimi winced at the pain.
"Well, look on the bright side, that Corsola is one tough Pokemon. A brave one at that. She saved us you know. You should be proud," said Kyle.
"I know I should be proud...but what do you expect? I'm a concerned Pokemon trainer...as well as a coordinator..." Mimi replied stubbornly. Kyle chuckled at shook his head. Once Chansey finished up wrapping Mimi's arm, she headed over to Kyle and treated his wounds.
"I always imagined our journey to be interesting...without the whole GTR trying to take over Johto and worrying about what will happen if they did succeed," Mimi said, trying to break the silence.
"Don't think like that. They will never succeed. I mean...their dumb and stupid and pathetic...okay well maybe not dumb and stupid, but they are pathetic. I mean...really...the name alone still makes me want to break out into fit of laughter," Kyle replied, laughing.
"Chansey!" Chansey was probably annoyed at Kyle was moving around a lot.
"Okay, okay. Sorry Chansey," Kyle said, holding up one of his hand up in defense. Chansey glared at him and went back to spraying his wounds. Kyle screamed in pain and stared coldy at the pink Pokemon.
"Hey! Watch it!"
"Kyle, be nice."
"What? Why? She practically put that spray close to my wound just to torture me!" Kyle yelled. Mimi rolled her eyes.
"Do you really think a Pokemon like Chansey would be that mean?" Mimi asked, crossing her arms. Kyle looked blankly at Mimi and then turned around to see Chansey too crossed her arms and nodding in agreement.
"Why you..." Kyle didn't have time to finish his sentence because the Pokemon left already. Kyle looked at his arm covered in bandages and felt the slight appreciation towards Chansey.
"So now what do we do?" asked Mimi.
"I'll tell you what. We change back into our regular clothes."
Several moments later, Mimi and Kyle were back into their own comfortable clothings.
"I hope everyone got their Pokemon back..." Mimi said as she and Kyle left the room. They went around the counter and into their room. Mimi flopped down onto her bed while Kyle started pacing around.
"Something...isn't right...I have a feeling Carnet will...come back to attack again, and with stronger Pokemon too. We have to go back to their lair," Kyle said. Mimi sat up swiftly and stared at Kyle.
"Are you nuts! I mean, you have to be if you think that I will go back into the stupid place and get attacked again! Our Pokemon needs rest!" Mimi argued back.
"Yeah? Well I'm too concerned, but we have greater things to be worried about Mimi. Ghost Team Rocket taking over Johto! If we don't stop Carnet and section one right now. Who KNOWS what will happen!"
Mimi bit her bottom lip and began picking at the bed sheet, "fine...but we can't do this alone. We need help."
"Well, we could ask around the Pokemon Center-" a knock was heard from their door. Kyle and Mimi shared a quick glance with each other before Kyle walking up and opening the door.
There stood a girl with long black hair with red streaks in her hair, tied up into a nice pony tail. She had sapphire blue eyes and was wearing a red and black hat. She wore black fingerless gloves with a white rim and dark blue jeans. Her shoes were red, black and white. She had a black shirt and a red short sleeved jacket. A silver Lugia pendant necklace shone brightly under the fluorescent light.
"Zoey!" Mimi cried. She got up and ran over to the girl, giving her a hug.
"Hey Mimi, Kyle! I knew I'd find you two here," Zoey replied, she hugged back. Mimi pulled away.
"How did you know we're-" Zoey cut Mimi off.
"Oh, well...I was planning on coming back to visit you guys in New Bark Town, but your mom said that you were off on your adventure with Kyle. So I walked over to Cherrygrove City and saw you guys walking out of a room and going down the hallway. I followed you and well, here I am!"
Mimi hugged Zoey again, "it's so good to see you again!"
Zoey gave out a small giggle, "well it's good to see you two again."
"Yeah whatever. I'm going to go find some Pokemon to catch," Kyle said, he left the room, leaving the two girls.
"What's his deal?" Zoey asked angrily.
"Oh...well, my journey isn't all that happy-go-lucky with sunshine and rainbows...basically...we got attacked by Ghost Team Rocket, kidnapped and tied up by the leader of section one, Carnet. Kyle and I had to disguise ourselves as the rookies and we were 'sent' here to steal the Pokemon in the Center. Kyle and I found out that Carnet knew and took our Pokemon as hostage...and my Corsola is being treated right now," Mimi explained, she stopped and took a break from talking.
Zoey stared wide eyed at Mimi, "and...why are you calm?"
"Well, Kyle believes that Carnet will try and attack again. Apparently, Ghost Team Rocket wants to take over Johto, and after they succeed, they will take over the entire Pokemon world," Mimi explained.
"Oh my...well, I'll help you guys! I have nothing better to do anyways," Zoey said, giving a slight shrug.
"Are you sure Zo?" Mimi asked.
"Of course! I don't want some snot nosed bad guys with a really lame name to take over the Pokemon world! That's asking for trouble," Zoey said crossing her arms.
~oOo~
Kyle was wandering around the training field. Of course, there aren't any trainers around. Probably still scared that Ghost Team Rocket will come crashing down. He roamed around, trying to find at least one wild Pokemon.
"We can rest up here Dratini."
Kyle turned around and saw a girl much older than him. She had long black hair that reached mid-back. She was wearing a black tank top under a poppy red jacket, accompanied by some blue jeans and sneakers. There was a Pokemon beside her, a Dratini from what she called it.
The girl noticed she was being watched and turned around and met Kyle's gaze. Kyle blushed frantically and turned around, facing the trees. He noticed a wild Pokemon and smirked.
'What a weird boy,' thought the girl. She shrugged it off and headed into the Pokemon Center.
Kyle was waking further into the path surrounded by tall trees. He then saw a face in front of him. It was smiling too. Kyle screamed and staggered backwards, falling onto the floor.
Kyle took out his Pokedex and found out it was a Spinark. Kyle got up with a smug look on his face.
"Okay Spinark. We can do this the hard way, or the easy way. Do you want to come with me?" Kyle asked the spider Pokemon. The Spinark clicked his red mandibles and the face on it's back turned into a big smile.
Kyle took noticed and smiled. He took out a pokeball and threw it at Spinark. The Pokemon flew into the ball from the red light and the red and white sphere landed on the ground. It moved only once before the capture was complete.
"Awesome! My first Pokemon that I caught! I got to go tell Mimi," Kyle cheered. He left the place and entered the Pokemon Center, only to see that same girl before.
"I'm sorry, we're booked. You can share a room with other trainers if you want," Nurse Joy said.
"You can share a room with me and my traveling partner," Kyle spoke up. The girl and Nurse Joy looked at him.
"That will be wonderful, thank you for being such a dear, Kyle," said Nurse Joy, smiling at the boy.
"Really? Thanks! Hey...aren't you that same weird boy from before?" asked the girl.
"The same boy from before, yes. Weird, no. I'm Kyle Yamato, a Pokemon trainer from New Bark Town. And I'm going to defeat Lance," Kyle said proudly.
"I'm Lillian. I too am a Pokemon trainer. My hometown is Blackthorn City."
"Yeah okay well...I'm sorta in a hurry to show my friend my new Spinark right now. She's talking with our childhood friend from New Bark Town...come on, let's just go," Kyle said, he led Lillian down a hallway.
"You said that your traveling partner is a girl. Could she be your girlfriend?" asked the older girl.
Kyle stopped and blushed, "what! Me? And Mimi! No! We're friends! Just friends!" Lillian raised a brow.
The two finally arrived at the room. Kyle opened the door and found Mimi and Zoey, chatting away.
"Welcome back Ky— oh! Hello," Mimi said, spotting Lillian behind Kyle.
"She's going to be sharing a room with us because the Center's all booked," Kyle explained.
"Oh, okay. My name's Mimi Tomomi! I'm a Pokemon coordinator! But I also, sort of is a trainer. But I won't be battling any gyms and entering into the league of course," Mimi said.
"Why not?" Lillian asked.
"Well. Kyle's waited a year to start his Johto journey because I begged him to wait for me. I was at Hoenn at the time so I didn't get my starter when I came back to Johto. That and I want him to be the next Pokemon Champion of Johto!" replied Mimi.
"That's sweet. I'm Lillian. A Pokemon trainer as well. I came from Blackthorn City," Lillian said. It was polite to introduce yourself after the other person greets you.
"Hey there! I'm Zoey Rhodes. I'm also a trainer slash coordinator too! I'm their childhood friend!"
As the three girls converse into a nice conversation, Kyle had no choice but to butt in.
"Not really sorry to butt in or anything...but I kind of want to show off my new Pokemon that I caught," Kyle said.
"That's awesome Kyle! Show us!" Mimi said, clapping her hands together.
"Spinark, come on out!" Kyle threw the pokeball and a beam of red light landed on the carpet flooring of the room. Spinark was looking around his surroundings and the face on it's back smiled.
"Aw! It's so adorable!" Zoey said.
"I totally caught it. It wanted to come with me," Kyle said, bragging.
Zoey glared at Kyle, "yeah? I've got some Pokemon who wanted to come with me too."
Kyle rolled his eyes, "oh whatever."
Zoey growled at Kyle. He commanded Spinark to use string shot on Zoey. The spider happily obliged and shot out a string of sticky thread from it's mouth and it wrapped all around Zoey. She fell down on the ground from losing balance.
"You're going to die Kyle Yamato!" Zoey screamed.
"I'd like to see you try," Kyle replied.
"Uh..." Lillian was witnessing the little mayhem before her eyes.
"Oh it's okay. Zoey's prone to getting angry really easily. Whether people steals her food, or makes fun of her Pokemon. She'll get angry in the end," Mimi explained.
"Oh..." Lillian replied.
"Anyways. I know what you and Mimi are going to do. And I'm coming with you," Zoey said, still tied up.
"You told her?" Kyle asked angrily, turning to face Mimi.
"Yeah so? It's better than being butt whooped by the GTR! This way, we'll have one more person to help us defeat section one and that stupid Carnet!" Mimi replied furiously.
"Fine!" Kyle snapped.
"Uh...what are you guys talking about?" Lillian asked. Children these days. You never know what they will get themselves into.
"Long story short, we're going to infiltrate Ghost Team Rocket section one's lair. We'll also defeat them and report them to the police," Zoey said.
"Oh...well, I can help you guys if you want. Where's the lair located?" Lillian asked.
"It's on the other side. Basically its on an island. We have to cross a large body of water," Kyle replied, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
"I can have my Pidgeotto fly us over," Lillian said.
"Yeah! And I can have Charley fly us over as well!" Zoey said excitedly.
"Who's Charley?" Lillian asked.
"Oh, silly me. Ha ha. Charley's my Charizard," Zoey replied.
"Oh...cool," Lillian said.
"I-I pick riding on Pidgeotto with Lillian!" Mimi yelled.
"Oh, okay," Lillian replid. She was about to ask why when Kyle cut her off.
"Mimi's afraid of Dragon type Pokemon. And Charizard is in the Dragon type category. She was even scared riding on a Gyarados this morning. Ha ha!"
"It's not funny Kyle!" Mimi cried, throwing a pillow at Kyle, only to miss by a long shot.
"You missed me," Kyle mocked. Mimi narrowed her eyes.
"Um, come on you two. Let's think of a plan first," Lillian said, trying to calm down the two children.
"Well, we can guide you around the place. I think you two should wear their uniforms, you know, as an under cover spy. They won't fall for it again if we're wearing them," said Kyle. He went to his rucksack and pulled out the Ghost Team Rocket uniform and handed it over to Lillian.
"Kyle...that's a guy's uniform," Mimi said.
"Uh no. It's a girls uniform. What? You think I wouldn't nab anything that we could use to our benefits? Then you're sadly mistaken my dear friend," Kyle replied. Mimi rolled her eyes.
Mimi too took out her uniform and gave it to Zoey. "You can wear this Zo."
Zoey took the uniform from Mimi, "thanks!"
Lillian too took the uniform from Kyle.
"We'll let you guys change into them soon. But right now, we need to go over a strategy," said Kyle.
The four of them sat around Kyle's bed and began planning.
~oOo~
It was quarter after eight. Everyone had their fair share of dinner. Nurse Joy told Mimi and Kyle that their Pokemon are all healthy and can battle again. Just as long as they don't push it too far.
The four of them sneaked out to the back, Zoey and Lillian are already in their disguise. They released their flying Pokemon.
"Come on Mimi. Let's go," Lillian said. Mimi hopped on Pidgeotto and the two girls flew off into the air. They waited for Kyle and Zoey to get on Charizard.
As soon as everyone was air borne, they flew to the island on the outskirt of Cherrygrove City. They landed with a 'thump' and got off. Lillian and Zoey called their Pokemon back into their ball.
"So, where's the entrance?" Zoey asked.
"Well, first of all, you guys need to tie up our hands. We'll lead the way after," Kyle said.
Several minutes later, Mimi and Kyle had their hands tied behind them. They arrived at the hatchet and Lillian turned the wheel. The hissing noise was heard and some smoke could be seen leaking out. Lillian and Zoey opened the lid. Lillian and Mimi went down first, then came Zoey and Kyle.
"You're sure it's here?" Zoey asked.
"I'm positive!" Mimi replied.
"Okay..its all or nothing," Lillian said. They opened the door and entered the bomb shelter. It was empty.
"Why's it empty?" whispered Zoey.
"How the hell should I know," Kyle said curtly.
"God! You can be such a-" Kyle, Lillian and Mimi cut Zoey off.
"Shh! You're going to blow our cover!" Kyle hissed. Zoey's nostril's flared up and bit both of her lips.
They continued walking down the hallways. Their footsteps echoed. Making it seem as if it was haunted.
"Hello!" called Zoey.
"What was the boss's name again?" Lillian asked.
"Carnet," replied both Mimi and Kyle.
"okay thanks," Lillian replied quietly. "Carnet! We caught the two troublemakers sneaking around outside our lair!"
Suddenly, other grunts came out and surrounded the four intruders.
"Hey look! It's those bratty little kids!" cried one of the grunts.
"Are you two rookies? We never saw you before," said one female grunt.
"Uh yeah. We're rookies. We were sent here by one of the Executives," Zoey replied, her sapphire blue eyes shone under the dim lit hallway.
"Oh, okay. I'm sure Carnet is waiting on the sixth floor down below," replied the female grunt.
"Good. Now out of our way," said Zoey. They proceeded to the elevator and entered it. Pressing the button that will lead them to the right floor.
"Okay...we still have to remain in character. There's security camera's here," Mimi said quietly as possible. Trying not to move her lips too much.
As the elevator dinged, they walked out and saw a long hallway and a big door at the end. The four of them exchanged looks and knew this was it.
Lillian knocked on the door.
"Who's it!" cried Carnet.
"We caught the two twerps we kidnapped before!" Zoey called back. The door's swung opened, revealing Carnet.
"Wonderful! We'll— wait who are you people?" Carnet asked.
"We were sent by one of the Executives," Lillian replied.
"O-oh! Alright, well, set them down over there, I'll be right with you," Carnet said, he went over to a steel door and swiped a gold card. The doors slide opened and he entered, the doors closing behind him.
"Time for our plan to commence," Zoey said, untying Kyle.
As soon as Mimi and Kyle were untied, they released their two Pokemon.
"Alright Cyndaquil, Corsola, you remember the plan right?" Mimi asked her Pokemon. They nodded.
"Totodile, Spinark, all you both need to do is wait for me to give you a command, alright?" Kyle asked his Pokemon. They both nodded as well. Totodile saluted.
Carnet came back out, shocked to see that it was a trap.
"Why you...you two aren't sent by one of the Executives!"
"Nope, we aren't...Dratini, use slam!" Lillian commanded. Her Dratini spiraled around the hair and slammed into Carnet.
"Dra! Dratini!"
Carnet clicked his tongue, "Machoke use cross chop, Rhydon use stone edge, Steelix use thunder fang, Scizor use bullet punch!" Carnet released four Pokemon. All attacking at the same time.
Machoke, Steelix and Scizor were all running at the four of them. Machoke had his arms crossed and was about to attack Zoey, except Zoey's Charizard got to it first. Charley held on Machoke's arms tightly and pushed him back.
"Charley, use flamethrower!"
"Charr!" Charley blasted a stream of fire from his mouth and hit Machoke. He fainted in just one go.
"Ha! You're Pokemon are as weak as you Carnet!" Zoey screamed.
Steelix came after Kyle. Steelix's mouth glowed yellow with bits of spark of electricity.
"Totodile, dodge and use water gun. Spinark, slow Steelix down with string shot!"
Totodile jumped out of the way before Steelix could land an attack. Spinark then shot a string of web around Steelix, causing it to fall to the ground hard.
"Now Totodile, water gun! Spinark, poison sting!" Both Pokemon attacked at the same time. A couple of glowing purple needle engulfed by a jet of water hit Steelix. The giant steel Pokemon fainted just like that.
"Good job you two!" Kyle said, hugging his two Pokemon.
A three light blue rings surrounded Rhydon. Then the glowing stops to reveal small greyish white rocks. Rhydon's eyes glows blue and fires the rocks straight at Mimi.
"Corsola use harden and dodge it's attack. Same goes for you Cyndaquil!"
"Corsola!"
"Quil!"
The two small Pokemon dodged the rocks. Mimi too moved out of the way.
"Alright, Corsola, use harden once more! Cyndaquil, use tackle on Corsola so she can use bubble!" Mimi shouted.
Corsola became as hard as steel and Cyndaquil got a head start and used tackle on Corsola, sending the coral Pokemon flying towards Rhydon. Corsola then used bubble. Hitting Rhydon directly and causing it to faint.
"Alright! Way to go you two!" Mimi said proudly.
"Corso!"
"Cynda, Cyn!"
The final Pokemon, Scizor. The Pokemon came at Lillian and Dratini, his pincers glowing red.
"Dratini, dodge and go behind Scizor!" Lillian shouted.
The small dragon Pokemon went behind Scizor.
"Good, now use fire blast!"
Dratini spits flames from it's mouth. The shape it forms is a Chinese character word that means "big". Scizor was knocked to the other side of the room and crashed onto the floor, fainting.
"Damn you children!" Carnet yelled. He pressed a big red button and a siren went off.
"What did you do?" Kyle asked.
"This place is going to self destruct! There's no place to escape now! You'll all die!" Carnet laughed manically.
"We got to get out of here!" Lillian cried. She released her Pidgeotto. Mimi got on Pidgeotto while Kyle and Zoey got on Charley.
"I think we should have our Pokemon use some defense move. Like...protect!" Kyle said.
"Good idea. Dratini, use protect around all of us!" Lillian commanded.
"Spinark, you too use protect! Combine your power's to Dratini's!" Kyle shouted. Spinark and Dratini combined both of their power's and created a glowing green spherical shape that protected everyone.
"Let's get a move on before this place blows," Mimi said. Everyone nodded and they broke the ceiling. They flew up higher and higher, seeing a lot of grunts panicking. Finally, they were out of the place and they flew as high up as possible.
The place blew up, a mass explosion. Thankfully, it was far away from Cherrygrove City, so no innocent people got hurt as well as innocent Pokemon. The explosion settled down, all that was left of it was the island, charred and burnt up. The green sphere disappeared, leaving a very tired out Spinark and Dratini.
"You did really well Dratini," Lillian said softly.
"Dra."
"Thanks Spinark. You did really great," Kyle said to his spider Pokemon. He took out Spinark's pokeball and returned him.
The four of them flew back safely to Cherrygrove. A lot of people came rushing over, trying to pry out information from the four of them.
"Ghost Team Rocket section one and their leader Carnet's all gone. Their lair self destruct and they either all died or fled," Lillian said, trying to calm the residents.
"That's a relief! You four are wonderful! What are you're names?" asked an elderly woman.
"My name's Mimi Tomomi."
"I'm Kyle Yamato."
"Zoey Rhodes!"
"Lillian."
"We should celebrate! These four are our hero's!" said the elderly woman. Everyone cheered.
"Wow...we really are getting a lot of publicity here, aren't we," said Zoey.
"Yeah and-" Kyle's PokeGear rang. He checked the caller ID.
"It's Professor Elm," Kyle said.
"What does he want?" Mimi asked.
"I don't know, but I'm going to ask anyways." Kyle answered the call.
"What's up Professor?"
"I heard you saved Cherrygrove City from Ghost Team Rocket. Who would have thunk, ha ha. Anyways. Can you and Mimi come back? I have this Pokemon egg that I want you guys to take care of."
"Oh...okay...can it wait until tomorrow-" the Professor cut him off.
"No, you two must come back now. I need you two to help me in my research as well. So hurry back." The Professor hung up.
"He wants us to go back to New Bark Town right now. Said it's important," Kyle explained.
"Oh, well. We should go. I want to tell my mom," Mimi said.
"You're going back to New Bark Town?" Zoey asked sadly.
"Yeah, sorry Zo. Professor want's us. You and Lillian can stay to celebrate though," Mimi said.
"...oh alright...take care alright?" Zoey said smiling.
"Will do! Oh...you guys may want to take off the uniform," Mimi said, giggling.
"Oh! Right, ha ha!"
"It was nice meeting you Lily!" Mimi said.
"L-Lily?"
"Yeah! It's short and easy! I'm going to call you that from now on. Hope you don't mind."
"No, it's alright. I kind of like that name," Lillian replied happily.
"Hey, Lillian," Kyle said. Lillian turned to look at Kyle.
"When we meet again, let's have a battle," said Kyle. Lillian was taken aback by Kyle's sudden request, but smiled.
"We'll see," Lillian replied, smirking.
Kyle and Mimi were off, going back to New Bark Town to see what the Professor wants them to do.
Well that was amazing! And twelve pages too! Ha ha. Okay first off I will do a disclaimer on the OC's.
