I kept going up the stairs and battling more people, Missy and blossom getting stronger with each one;
We eventually made it to the top and I healed my pokemon, but the wild Pokemon that hung around were stopping me from proceeding.
The one of the sages helped me.
What are you doing, don't you want the battle me?
No, my Bellsprout aren't strong enough yet, but I wanted to asked you about the way you battle.
What's wrong with it! I try my best. I said angrily
No no, I'm talking about how you treat your pokemon, how long have you been a trainer..
three weeks
Only three, well your pokemon are still young, why do you battle them so roughly?
What do you mean, I put my pokemon first,
But do you treat them as animals or as friends?
I don't seem to understand sir..
Are you troubled young man?
He asked while handing me some tea
I accepted his offer but reluctant to tell him anything.
I don't want to talk about my problems right now.
No, you should
Keeping your emotions bottled inside of you is not good, for you not your friends.
So please, tell me.
I drank the tea, tested it on the table, and told him about my parents and the fire.
He listened to every word I had to say,
And told me something I wouldn't forget.
Listen kid, You are really, well
What I want to say is…
*Sigh*
You have to forget about the fire and your old home. Things like this only hold you back when you think about them, if you want to become a great trainer or just a great person; letting things like a house make you sad will completely destroy you in the long run.
And force you to take out your emotions on your friends pokemon or even their battles.
He gave me a gift, it said flash on it.
Flash is use to lighten up caves and makes you harder to hit in battle.
Why don't you teach it to that
Oddish of yours?
He gave me another item, the escape rope and I was shot out of the building. I met up with Vivi and apologized to budd for hurting bad in the battle, and to my own pokemon two.
She smiled at me.
Your learning fast, she said,
You might be as good as me if you keep trying hard.
Going back to the Pokemon center for the night, I healed up my mons and went out to the forest to train.
I apologized to my pokemon and told them to…
Attack me, using me as a punching bag and give me what I deserve for hurting them and putting them through such awful training over the past few hours.
The were kinda reluctant at first but slowely eased into it. We did this all night until oddish spit a bunch of purple stuff at me I felt weak for a few minutes. After scanning to find out what move it was, she practiced it a few times and we went back to the Pokemon center,ate dinner with Vivi and bought rooms to sleep in.
The next day we went back to the gym,
So are you ready to try to beat me?
I don't even care if I win, I just want to battle you!
Alright,LET'S DO THIS, GO ODDISH
YOU CAN DO IT PIDGEY!
Blossom use sweet scent! Pidgey looked relaxed,
Pidgey use mud slap! I didn't too much
Use absorb! She sucket the energy from Pidgey
The Pidgey tried to attack but it was weak and was struggling!
Okay use absorb one more time…
Pidgey fainted!
Go Pidgeotto!
Go misdreavus!
Use tackle, it tried to hit missy but it did nothing
Use growl just like we trained! She actually did it this time!
Use gust! Strings winds blew missy to the floor, but she was still okay
Use growl!
It worked, the Pidgeotto looked weak!
Alright come back
Go Oddish,
Pidgeotto use gust, the attack hit! blossom use acid!
A powerful wave of poison liquid was spewed and the bird.
Pidgeotto fainted...
Onye won!
Vivi: I knew you could do it!
Here kid take these
You have won the Zephyr badge!
And the TM mud slap.
I started walking out when Falkner addressed me. You've gotten better,
Di the girl train you?
Yeah she actually told me things that helped me beat you.
Okay good. Hey girl what's your name again, you beat me around a week and a half ago, and I wanted to give you something for helping this trainer.
Vivi received EGG!
This egg is from a different region, but I know it's a flying type.
I hope you to can reach your goals.
When he said that I whipped out my notebook, I had completely forgotten about Pokedex entries. I scanned the gyms leaders pokemon and we left.
At the pokemon center. I had asked Vivi if she had a goal.
Well I want to be the future champion of jhoto!
What about you?
I never really thought about it. I've only been a trainer for five weeks, goals aren't truly important to me right now.
Well, why don't you try and beat the johto league?
Well, while battling is fun I think I just want to work on the Pokedex for now...
She got up and started looking at a map of the region, because of the fire, ilex forest path is impossible to cross…
How about we just go to the town first. I hear there's a well filled with pokemon there!
I forget about the forest part of what she said and we started making our way down the path two the town. Blossom even learn a new move, but I didn't really like the ideas of poisoning my foes.
I stopped and bought some stuff at the Mart and let Vivi lead the way as our pokemon strolled behind us.
Making our way over the bridge and through the woods, passed the mine and into the rest stop building and a cave that led to the town.
I saw Anthony the hiker as we made our way out of the cave
When we finally got their we were so tired from walking and battling that we both collapsed on the floor as our pokemon glanced at each other.
We slowly fell asleep and awoke I'm an old man's house. We were both a little scared but then introduce himself as Kurt the ball maker. We had passed out in the middle of the road and he brought us here before anything bad happened to us
He used apricots
He asked me if I have any and I remember the forest pokemon would always bring me that stuff, I gave him the materials. I left feeling sad as all the memories flowed back. Each one of those were given to me by the forest pokemon. I started to cry again but blossom comforted me.
I went and took on the gym while Vivi went to the Mart, I beat the leader and was surprised to see Vivi holding a gift for me.
She shoved it in my arms and pushed me into the forest to see what it was.
After a few minutes I came out, wearing and entirely new outfit, I was wearing a polka dotted sweater with new boots, pants and a beanie. I really liked how I looked in it.
I just wanted to say thanks for taking care of me.
I was still a little tired, so when Vivi went to take on the gym, and I went back to the cave and hang out and train with my pokemon.
While we were in the cave I
Watched blossom as she was battling to find out her weak points, but stopped myself and asked her if she wanted to battle on her own.
She looked at me confused and turned around waiting for my instructions.
I stood there not saying anything, and after a short while the wild Pokemon attacked, but blossom dodged. Try doing what you think would work best, but she acted like she couldn't think on her own…
You know the moves, absorb, acid, and sweet scent, I'll be sitting right here watching you until you can do this on your own. Blossom kept dodging until She worked up the courage to use absorb a few times, and the pokemon fainted. Blossom looked so proud of herself…
We kept doing this all night, until ODDISH learned a new move called mega drain. It did much damage to the rock types around us.
Hey kid!
I look up and see a manger wearing odd clothes. It's professor elm!
On-onye he said out of breath.
The egg you had did it hatch?
I'm yeah why? Was it a ghost type?
Yesss…
Give me the Pokemon
What!?
We need to return that Pokemon to it's parents immediately. I call Vivi and we go with the professor to a place called mount silver.
But it looked like it was in bad condition. He walked us inside and yelled out to what seem like nothing,
WE HAVE THE EGG, SO STOP TERRORISING THE TRAINERS THAT COME IN HERE!
Wait are you talking about misdreavus parents? But don't misdreavus love pranking and scaring people for fun?
Well these wild Pokemon could only be found in this cave before, but now they're spreading out to new regions and migrating to new areas.
But few stay, and the egg you had was one of the few that should have stayed, to greater the population, and the parents aren't happy with whoever took it
So may I see the Pokemon? I reluctantly hand him the ball and see him tap a code into it. He was releasing misdreavus
I started to feel sad, missy had just been born into this world and now she has to live somewhere else…
She popped out of the Pokemon and went over to me
I'm sorry missy, but you have to stay here. I try to say holding back my tears.
Wow Onye you're a crybaby
Vivi didn't seem to be as sad as me…
Missy honed in on my face, and I thought she would screech, but she actually wiped away my tears
Missy:
I know how sad it it for someone to have to leave, I hope I get you see you again
Onye…..
She floated off am went to go and meet the others who lived in the cave and we walked out.
Listen Onye it had to be done, elm had not related to my tears.
I actually have a gift for you
It's a Pokemon, I know you can't replace Pokemon but, well
What professor, i asked..
I wanted to give you a your polemon, from before the fire.
Confused I asked home what he was talking about. I watched him reach into his bag, and pull out a small round and blue Pokemon.
And it hit me.
THIS WAS THE POKEMON FROM THE FIRE. It had put itself into the ball.
I felt relieved to know the the professor had been taking care of her and feeding her for me. But she gave me the dead eye when the professor handed her over.
Wait, Professor how did you get ahold of her when she was in my bag?
Well it's policy at the hospital to take trainers pokemon and give them to the Pokemon center or the professor it the trainer can't. And you were unconscious so it was the safest option.
Well, here is the pokeball that was is in. But I advise you to be careful when petting it. This one is a poison type. I treid to put her back in the ball but she didn't seem to want to, as if she hated it.
The professor actually didn't know why it was acting like that, but I did. But when he let it out of its ball after Onye had passed out, it looked sick. As if it had entered eaten in days. But even though he fed is and made it healthy again, she was still mad.
I sat down and stared her in the eyes and started talking to her.
Im sorry I have to say this but.. *sigh* ilex forest has been burned down. And your family… is has-.. passed. Tears were running down my face, and the Pokemon froze as her teared hit the ground one by one. She grabbed my sweater and let me hold her as she spent the next few minutes crying and moping.
We got back I to the helicopter and sadly looked down as misdreavus' new home had slowely fazed out of view. We were dropped off near the slowpoke well and left us while still telling me to be careful when touching the Pokemon. I was a little scared to but Vivi, as impatient as she was, treid to grab her out of my arms. But she immediately jumped away and stared at blossom, rembereimg that they both had frequently visited Onye in the forest….
I soon whipped out my Dex and scanned our old friend.
Nidoran-f
Poison pin pokemom
The poison hidden in its small horn is extremely potent. Even a tiny scratch can have fatal results.l
was looking around in aw as the new area she was in looked amazing, but she paused and looked at me.
She looked cold, so we went to the Pokemon center to eat. I handed a bowl to budew and introduced myself.
Hi my name's Onye and this is Vivi. I'm your new trainer, how do I look?
She, without hesitation, tried to use absorb on me but missed…
Oddish walked up to our new "friend"
And they started talking
Oddish:why did you do that.
Your trainer looked weak, i only want a strong trainer.
Well you're not gonna get one with that attitude,
And besides, absorb wouldn't too much,Onye is strong, we spent an entire night training and he made me attack him to get stronger!
Really? He did that for you?
Yup, he tries his best, he might mess up but who doesn't, you don't even look that strong, what is it like in the sinnoh region?
Peaceful I guess..
But I still want a trainer that's strong…
Then help me make him strong!
*Sigh* if he's that good of a trainer I'll listen to you oddish
Oh and call me blossom
What?
That's the nickname he gave me,
I kinda like it.
Those to are really talking with said Vivi. I was scanning budew to try and find the moves it used
But forgot about something,
Hey, budew
She turned around reluctantly
Want a nickname like blossom?
How about we call you..
Iva, yeah iva, how's that.
She jumped around with excitement as she seemed to love the name.
We left the pokecenter we were in and realised it was starting to get cold
Really cold
Like- snowing cold
Vivi ran out anger saying she saw something in the stayed inside and I watched over our Pokemon.
She had me hold budd and said grass Pokemon are really weak to ice. So I proceeded to put my hat on blossom and my gloves on Iva's buds
And my entire sweater onto budd.
She came back holding a ultra Ball.
Where did you get that
Oh there's an island in Kanto that sells em.
But I actually caught a new Pokemon.
This little guy was prancing around in the snow and when I pulled out my ball to catch it, it just jumped inside without hesitation.
She opened the ball, and I immediately scanned it.
Sentret
The scout Pokem
A very cautious Pokémon, it raises itself up using its tail to get a better view of its surroundings.
I've actually seen this Pokemon a few times before. I kept reading about it in the Dex until it waddled over to me stared me I'm the eyes, and licked my forehead...
I apparently had a very lickable face to this pokemon, and blossom looked surprised over in the corner.
And budd, still wearing my sweater ran over to meet sentret but stopped as it was very tired of moving.
We put our Pokemon back in their balls, I put my clothes back on. And we left
