Chapter Four – Pokémon: Boom Blaster, Shadow and the Chick

Authors Notes: Have you worked out who is who? Just to specify that Cewil Dehsee Island belongs to me and is near the Sevii Islands and therefore part of Kanto. Pinky and Shadow are my and Saniyo's nicknames for Lily and Baxter.

"Those were the days" thought Sceptile darkly as his flashback ended "They used to worship me and do kiddie stuff. But they had to grow up and now..."

"Come on! San! WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!"

"... You do know my mum is the Professor on this Island"

"Yeah! But..."

"I'm sure she'll save us some..."

He was scowled at by Lily and the dragged out of bed.

"Hey, Pinky! That hurts you know!"

"What...ever"

"I need to change..."

Afterwards:

"Howdy, Partner!"

Lily (in a Dawn uniform which suits her long brown hair) gasps

"Huh...You look like Clay or a Cowboy"

"You did your homework didn't you, and you choose the Sinnoh outfit!"

"Yeah, and I bet you got that twig in your mouth from Sceptile, right."

"Sceptile!"

"'Take as a 'yes'"

In the lab:

A girl came over and gave San a rose. They both blushed. Lily and Professor Zoritta glared.

"OK, everyone! As this Saniyo's birthday, I thought everyone... who actually knows him, would like to give their presents..."

A whole lot of people sweat drop.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. But San might!"

"San, this is...

"A PokéPhone" blurted a fat, posh-looking boy

"Yes, who are you?"

"Arieman Hayula, pleased to meet you, I've got a PokéPhone as well"

"That's strange, it got released last week, I should know. I made it."

"Mum! You didn't tell me!"

"Anyway, it's got a Pokédex, a Map, a Camera, iPod and Phoning capabilities"

"Thanks Mum!"

After all the presents:

"Everybody, this is secret invention of mine"

She walks though the door on the right.

"This is the Bulba Garden"

The vast expanse of lake, swamp, forest, woodland and grassland was full of Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Squirtle, Wartortle, Blastoise and a few Ditto.

"The Ditto were added to speed up the breeding. Ditto can breed with any Pokémon!"

That caused a few eyebrows.

"Now, what does everyone want?"

Everyone started shouting:

"Ponyta or Pikachu" (Pinky)

"Treeco or Scyther" (San)

"Chimchar or Absol" (Baxter)

"Cubone or Tentacool" (Arieman)

And so on...

After some serious calming down:

"OK, we can only give you Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle. The latest scheme from the Council of Pokémon Masters is cut down on the amount of Pikachu in Kanto so only one Pikachu is available."

"Bagsy my Pikachu!" Lily quickly exclaimed

As everyone goes to get their Pokémon, a sad Saniyo walks up to his mum.

"What's up, San?"

"It's just... I really wanted a Treeco...I've really been looking forward to it."

"Why not Charmander like me?" she asks patting her Charizard on the wing "Treeco is exclusive to the Hoenn region. You can go there after Kanto and Johto"

He winced "That's a long way"

"Well, you could try the Pokémon Breeder scheme. You get all three starters and a Ditto..."

As the Professor filled in her son with all the information, a lone Charmander is leaning against a tree, away from everyone else.

"Hey, little soldier! You wanna come with me?"

The scarred Charmander looks up with respect to his new master and nods.

"Squirtle, Bubble"

The bubbles float up to the duo and hit Charmander head-on in the face!

"Hey, what was that for?" the owner of the Charmander

"Sorry, whatever" was Arieman's reply

"Sorry doesn't cut it...Charmander, use Ember"

"Char"

Squirtle was down to half health

"Bubble!"

"Block it with Ember"

The flames evaporated the bubbles causing some steam.

"Scratch, go"

Charmander rushed through the steam and scratched Squirtle in the face. Squirtle fell over and fainted.

"Squirtle is no longer able to battle! Charmander and Shadsy are the winners!" the new Breeder cried

"...that's how you end a battle, Breeder-style!" Lily said putting her arm around Saniyo and her Pikachu climbed across and sat on his head

"Ha, ha" She chuckled "He likes you!"

"You've been fighting already! I can tell from the fainted Squirtle..." the Professor said knowingly "Who won?"

Baxter timidly put his hand up timidly

"Well done, it takes skill to win when your opponent has the type advantage."

Authors Notes: Sorry this took so long, everyone but I had to go over this a few times and had an argument with my co-author, Matrix. Now all that's over but this might still have a few mistakes. IMPORTANT: I might edit the real Pokémon world slightly. E.g. Shadsy's Charmander is Lv.5 but in the game Charmander learns Ember at Lv.7.
