Chapter 7
The Mysterious Mount Moon
It had been 2 days since the gym battle against Brock and Christian was still beaming with excitement. There hadn't been very many trainers on the walk here but the terrain was definitely not made for travelers. By the time they had made it to the Pokémon center outside of the entrance they were all about to crash. When they stepped inside Brad ordered a room while Christian and Kyle collapsed on the couch. The next morning feeling refreshed and ready to go our 3 heroes went on their way into Mount Moon.
While they made their way through the mountain they were challenged by three trainers to a three on three no swap out battle.
Battle Scene
"Go Bulbasaur! Go Charmeleon! Go Squirtle!" said Brad Christian and Kyle as they released their trusty starter Pokémon. "Go Clefable! Come on out Rhydon! I choose you Golduck!" said the three mysterious trainers. "Charmeleon use Flamethrower of Clefable!" said Christian. "Clefable dodge and use Pound!" The Clefable did not have enough time to react and was very quickly burned to a crisp. "Bulbasaur use Vine Whip on Golduck!" Brad said. "Golduck get out of the way with aqua jet." Unfortunately things ended even worse for Golduck. While it did manage to pull of its attack, Golduck spun right into Bulbasaur's vines. "Squirtle use Bubble beam on Rhydon!" The third trainer did not even get to call an attack before his Rhydon was defeated.
End Battle Scene
"Don't you think that was a little odd?" Brad said questioningly. "What do you mean?" replied Kyle. "Well they had 3 fully evolved Pokémon and pretty powerful ones at that, but we beat them all in one hit." Brad said. "So what WE are awesome. That's why we won." Christian announced proudly. "Still it seemed like they didn't even try I mean Pound really it should have known more than that." Brad said coyly. "Another thing did either of you notice that our Pokedex didn't register any of them as seen Pokémon." Brad said inquisitively. "Maybe something is wrong with them? We can have them looked at when we get to Cerulean City." Kyle said reassuringly.
"I believe I can explain those answers, if you would let me." A voice from the shadows said. Out stepped a young man who looked about 20. "You see 10 years ago I came through here at about the same time right now is what many scientists like to call moon season." As he said this his Pikachu jumped off his shoulder and sized up the other Pokémon. This 'moon' season is when the moons ray is strong enough that it can evolve a Clefairy without the need for a moon stone. Unfortunately to an untrained mind it can also make you go insane." It is a dangerous time to be in the mountain especially for an extended period of time. Now follow me I will lead you to a safer location.
The man led our 3 heroes through the mountain to the far exit. You should be good from here just head east and you will reach Cerulean City in no time. With that the man disappeared. Right before Cerulean city there was a police check. Apparently some thieves were heard to be around so everyone is getting their I.D. checked. Christian went through okay. Kyle followed suit and no problems. When they scanned Brad's trainer I.D. though, no info came up on their database of ever being born. While Brad was being patted down a man with untidy hair wearing a blue polo and khakis came up and said that Brad was okay. He was under witness protection and had an untraceable I.D. for that reason. The man introduced himself as Bill and told Brad to come meet him at his house tomorrow to talk.
With that the three headed on their way although slightly curious as to why Brad's I.D. was unregistered. They grew up knowing each other to some extent so unless Brad was under witness protection since he moved to Pallet Town when he was two years old Bill wasn't telling the whole truth. After getting to Cerulean City they decided to separate for tomorrow to train then meet back up for Christian's gym battle. Brad would head north to see Bill, and get some answers. Kyle would head east and try to explore Mount Moon a bit more, as well as study about the moon season. While Christian would head west to train up against Pokémon living in the ocean, and maybe find the thieves.
