A couple of hours later Ron and Monique were sitting on a small hill over looking the old Power Plant.
Ron was looking through some binoculars, "There it is, and I do see some Electric Type Pokemon."
Monique nodded, "Good thing you caught that Geodude an hour ago, your going to need him."
Ron smiled, "Funny thing is, I didn't have to fight him. He wanted me to capture it."
Monique nodded, "That was mentioned at Pokemon Summer School. Professor Hardwood said some Pokemon can sense who will be an excellent Trainer for them. And because of that they want that Trainer to capture them."
Ron looked at the Geodude's Pokeball, "Well Rocky, you're going to be a great Pokemon."
Monique smiled, "Ok my wonderful lover and husband to be. Lets go get an Electric Pokemon."
Ron leaned over and gave Monique a passionate kiss, "As you wish my beautiful lover and wife to be."
The two got up and made the last five hundred yard trek to the old Power Plant.
Once there Ron was looking around and noticed an old rusting sign, "Colorado Power and Light." Ron turned and looked at Monique, "Hey Mo, have you ever heard of Colorado Power and Light?"
Monique raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking about?"
Ron thumbed to the sign, "That old sign said Colorado Power and Light."
Monique looked at the sign and shook her head, "Nope, never heard of it. It could have been one of those tiny companies that got taken over by the bigger ones."
Ron smiled, "Guess your right, "
Monique smiled, "Now lets go I seen a lot of Electric Pokemon over here."
An hour later Ron and Monique were back at the old power station sign.
Monique smiled, "I caught a Shinx."
Ron smiled, "Cool. Lets head over to the far end and see what's there." As Ron turned he stopped in his tracks when he seen the perfect Electric Pokemon, "Look over there in the middle of the road looking right at us."
Monique smiled, "That's a Raichu."
Ron brought up his Pokedex and scanned it.
The Pokedex spoke up
Raichu: The Mouse Pokemon Pokedex # 026 Level-16
When Its Electricity Builds, Its Muscles Are Stimulated, And It Becomes More Aggressive Than Usual.
It Can Loose 100,000-Volt Bursts Of Electricity, Instantly Downing Foes Several Times Its Size.
If The Electrical Sacs Become Excessively Charged, Raichu Plants Its Tail In The Ground And Discharges. Scorched Patches Of Ground Will Be Found Near This Pok mon's Nest.
This Pok mon Exudes A Weak Electrical Charge From All Over Its Body That Makes It Take On A Slight Glow In Darkness..
Know Moves:
Thunder Shock Thunderbolt Quick Attack
Ron smiled, "I'm going to try and captu..."
Just then the Raichu let loose a massive Thunder Shock
Monique yelled, "WATCH OUT!"
Ron ducked left and Monique went right.
Ron threw Rocky into Play, "Lets go Rocky."
Rocky appeared, "Geodude!"
Ron nodded, "Rocky Use Tackle."
Rocky turned and charged at the Raichu hitting it square on and knocking it to the ground. The Raichu smiled and got up brushing itself off.
Ron yelled, "DO ANOTHER TACKLE ROCKY!"
Rocky turned and charged the Raichu, But this time the Riachu used Iron Tail knocking Rocky all the way back to where Ron was. Rocky was now unconscious.
Ron reached into his bag and brought out Fireball, "Ok Fireball Flamethrower."
Fireball took a battle stance and fired a stream of fire right at the Raichu hitting it square on.
This time they heard it scream, "RAICHU!"
When the flames cleared, Raichu just smiled, "Raichu." Just then a ball of energy hit the Raichu square in the back knocking it to the ground.
That's when they heard a voice yell, "THROW YOUR POKEBALL NOW!"
Ron quickly threw an Ultra Pokeball at the Raichu when it detected the Raichu it opened up and shot a beam at the Pokemon and pulled it in. A few moments later the lock clicked and captured the Raichu.
Ron walked up and Picked up the Pokeball, "Now that I have Raichu..."
Just then a man in his late forties to earliy fifties walked up, "What the hell were you doing? That was a Level-61 Raichu."
Ron looked at the Pokeball, "Level-61? My Pokedex said it was a Level-16."
The man shook his head, "Did it also say the only moves were Thunder Shock, Thunderbolt, and Quick Attack?"
Ron nodded, "Yes sir."
The man sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose, "When you seen the Iron Tail appear you should have hauled ass and ran. Your Pokemon were no match for it. There's something about this area that Corrupts the Data Base of the Pokedex."
Ron looked at his Pokedex, "How did you know it was a Level-61 Pokemon?"
The man nodded, "I was able to redesign my Pokedex to work in this area."
Monique spoke up, "Thanks for helping us. What's you name?"
The man sighed, "The name's..." The man stopped before speaking.
Ron took a closer look at the man, "I know who you are, you're Paul Furushima. You disappeared three years ago from Japan. What happened to you?"
Paul sighed and sat on a rock, "It's a long story, so lets leave it at that."
Monique looked at Paul, "Why do you look like your in your late forties early fifties when you should be in your late teens early twenties?"
Paul sighed, "I was involed with an experement that deals with Teleportation. I was to transport from Tokyo to San Francisco. But something happened and I was teleported into another dimension. It took me almost thirty years to find a way back. When I was able to return I found that only a few minutes had passed."
Ron pointed to the Power Plant, "Is that how that got here?"
Paul nodded, "That's how that got here."
Monique looked at Paul, "Why don't you go home and let them know what happened?"
Paul smiled, "I wish I could, but some how while returning here, my physiology got tied into the Electro Magnitic Energy it gives off. If I leave here, I'll die."
Monique looked at Ron, "Maybe Global Justice can help?"
Paul shook his head, "They already tried, I now receive monthly supplies to keep at least on generator going while I'm rebuilding the others." Paul smiled, "And the food's not all that bad." Paul looked at the time, "Well my young friends, it's time for you to be heading back to where ever your camp is. I have a long evening ahead of me with rebuilding these generators."
Monique gave Paul a hug, "Thank you again."
Paul smiled, "It's my pleasure."
Ron held his hand out, "You take care sir, and don't over do it."
Paul shook Ron's hand, "Good luck on your Adventure." Paul watched as Monique and Ron left. Once they were out of sight he turned and went back into the Power Plant.
A few hours later Kim, Bonnie, Anne and Betty were sitting back at camp.
Betty was smiling from ear to ear.
Kim smiled, "You finally got your Sudowoodo."
Betty smiled, "Yep, caught him about an hour ago."
Anne smiled, "And I got my Bonsley." Anne looked at Kim, "What about you two?"
Kim nodded, "We each caught a Geodude. I saw an Onix but he was to fast to catch up to."
Betty raised an eyebrow, "Why did't you fly after him?"
Kim looked at Betty, "I fly in the air dad, not underground."
Betty sniffed and grinned, "Well then, that's different."
Just then Ron and Monique walk into camp.
Betty raised an eyebrow, "You two look like you seen a ghost."
Ron looked at Betty, "Do you know a man by the name of Paul Furushima?"
Kim perked up, "Paul Furushima? he disappeared a couple of years ago from Tokyo Japan. He was heading out to a new Region when he just up and disappeared."
Betty looked at Ron, "Ron, I need you to be truthful with me, how do you know about Paul Furushima?"
Ron nodded, "I met him at the old Power Plant, why."
Betty looked at Ron and Monique, "What did he say to you?"
Ron shrugged his shoulders, "He explained that he was involed with an experement that deals with Teleportation. He was to transport from Tokyo to San Francisco. But something happened and he was teleported into another dimension. He said It took him almost thirty years to find a way back. When he was able to return he found that only a few minutes had passed."
Monique nodded, "Ron pointed to the Power Plant, and asked if that's how that got here? And Paul nodded and said, that's how that got here. I then asked him why doesn't go home and let them know what happened?"
Ron spoke up "Paul smiled and said he wishes he could, but some how while returning here, his physiology got tied into the Electro Magnitic Energy the old plant gives off. If he left there, he'll die."
Betty nodded, "When Global Justice found out what happened we offered to help, But everthing we did failed."
Ron nodded "He said Global Justice now sends him monthly supplies to keep at least one generator going while he rebuilds the others." Ron smiled, "And he said the food's not all that bad."
Monique smiled, "You guys want to meet him, I heard he was one of Ash Ketchum's rivals."
Betty looked at Monique, "Monique, That would be impossible."
Moniique shook her head, "Why would it be impossible?"
Betty sighed, "Paul died last year. He was about to finish the repairs on the last generator when it exploded in his face."
Ron pointed to the Power Plant, "Then who..." Ron looked towards the Power Plant and then back at the others, "Then who the hell saved us from..." Ron pulled out the Raichu, "...this Level-61 Raichu?"
Anne raised an eyebrow, "Level-61?'
Monique nodded, "When we got to the old Power Plant our Pokedex' said it was a Level-16 Pokemon. If it wasn't for Paul we would be on our way to the hospital."
Kim whistled, "Now that's spooky."
Bonnie nodded, "Must have been all that Electro Magnetic Energy that corrupted the information in the Pokedex." Bonnie looked at Ron and Monique, "When we get to the Lowerton Pokemon Center we'll get your Pokedexs repaired."
Ron sighed, "Untill then we can't compete in any Pokemon Battles."
Betty smiled, "You may not be able to Battle, but you can still catch Pokemon."
Monique smiled, "Sounds good to me."
Ron nodded, "At least you don't need a Pokedex for that." Ron looked at the time, "If you all will excuse me, I need to get dinner started." Ron hopped up and went to get dinner started."
Betty looked at Monique, "Hey Monique, let me see your Pokedex."
Monique handed her the Pokedex, "I don't see what you can do, the informations corrupted."
Betty looked over the Pokedex, "Monique, there's nothing wrong with this Pokedex." Betty looked at the information, "It even has the Shinx you captured."
Monique took the Pokedex back, "What? how's that possible?" Monique picked up Ron's and activated it, "Even Ron's is working. What the hell is going on?"
Betty shook her head, "I don't know sweetie."
Anne smiled, "I do, the Pokedex has an automatic reset. The moment you left the area of the Electro Magnetic Energy the Pokedex automaticly reset and included the new information it stored in its Protected Archive."
Betty groaned, "How could I have missed that."
Anne smiled, "Ok people, new rule. When we have the time, we're all going to sit down and read our Pokedex Manuels."
Ron spoke up, "I'm all for that."
Bonnie nodded, "If we're in the field and something happens to our Pokedex, we should be able to make the minor repairs."
Kim nodded, "But for the major repairs we'll leave them untill we get to a Pokemon Center."
Anne nodded, "Then it's settled."
Kim looked at Betty, "Dad, would it be possible to contact Paul's parents and let them know what happened to him?"
Betty smiled, "We already did, in fact three days after his accident. We returned his remains to Japan."
Kim nodded, "When we get to Lowerton, I want to see if I can contact Ash Ketchum. I want to see if he knows about Paul, Paul was one of Ash's rivals and friends."
Betty smiled, "Sounds like a plan, go for it."
Just then Ron shouted, "DINNER!."
After dinner everyone was talking about Pokemon.
Bonnie spoke up, "I finished reading about the Lowerton Gym, and according to my research it should be fairly easy to defeat. The Lowerton Gym is a Grass Type Gym."
Monique spoke up, "That Means Water and Rock Type Pokemon will be useless."
Ron nodded, "Fire, Ice, Bug, Poison and Ground Types is the best course of action."
Anne smiled, "From what I've seen of your teams, you four don't have to worry."
Kim looked at the time, "Ok people, lets head for bed, we have a long trek ahead of us. And I would like to be in Lowerton by Dinner time."
No one gave Kim any arguments about going to bed. They had a long day and was tired. With in an hour everyone was sound asleep.
Come the next morning everyone was up and breaking camp and heading to Lowerton.
