Thursday June 3rd. 1:30pm
"So do you want to keep going now or just stay here for the day?" I said as I put down my fork and drank the last of my water from the lake we were sat next to while the trees on the other side of the road bent slightly to the side from the breeze.
"I think we can afford to stay here until at least dinner. We made good progress today." Misty said as she picked up our plates and headed to the lake while Brooklyn and I started to put the table away and then put it into the storage compartment which I then put into a pocket in my bag.
"So what do we do?" I asked before Misty came out of the girl's tent with her red bikini on and Brooklyn came out with a white bikini on and they both leapt into the water. "OK then." I said before going into my tent and coming out a few minutes later in my black trunks and to the surprise of Misty, a pair of glasses with black frames.
"Wait, since when do you wear glasses?" Misty said as I slipped into the water and started to swim over to the girls.
"I've had these for months now but I wore contacts for most of the time." I explained as Squirtle and Pikachu paddled over and floated next to me.
"It's true. He looked like such a nerd on his first day wearing them but now it looks normal to me." Brooklyn said while smirking, hopingnto get a rise out of me.
"I don't care what you say cause I know that I look great." I said before I felt something pull on my leg from right next to me where Brooklyn was and I glared at her.
"what?" She said before she felt the same pull but managed to grab the offender before it could get away and it turned out to be a small bipedal tadpole with blue skin, a white stomach with a black swirl on it and a white tail with a happy look on its face.
"Aw it's so cute. What is it?" Brooklyn said as we all swam to camp again and I pulled out my pokedex from my hoodie pocket.
"Poliwag the tadpole Pokémon. Poliwag's newly grown legs make it difficult to walk so it prefers to swim instead." The pokedex explained while Poliwag just kept beaming.
"ok it's decided. I'm catching this cutie." Brooklyn said before she pulled out a pokeball and stood across from Poliwag who had a serious look on his face now. "Go Beedrill." Brooklyn shouted as her bug type appeared on the ground in front of her and buzzed at Poliwag who immediately shot a balst of water at Beedrill.
"Fly up then use Poison Sting!" Beedrill flew out of the way of the Water Gun and then launched a flurry of purple needles at Poliwag who couldn't move in time and was sent skidding back before he leapt into the air and his tail started glowing white before he spun around and slammed it into Beedrill several times sending him flying to the ground.
"That was Double Slap!" I shouted and Brooklyn nodded.
"Right, use Fury Attack!" Beedrill shot forward and stabbed Poliwag multiple times before the tadpole jumped back and shot multiple glowing blue bubbles at Beedrill.
"Protect!" Beedrill nodded and a green barrier formed at the end of his left stinger which he used as a shield to block the bubbles but the shield fell right after Poliwag shot a faint purple beam from it's eyes and beedrill fell to the ground fast asleep.
"Beedrill wake up!" Brooklyn yelled but to no avail as Poliwag blasted Beedrill back with another Water Gun before leaping into the air to use Double Slap which also hit but woke up Beedrill who looked livid.
"Alright! Use Poison Sting!" Beedrill shot a flurry of needles at Pilowag who was bombarded and sent flying back while Brooklyn readied a Pokèball.
"This is it. Go Pokèball!" Brooklyn yelled while throwing the capture device and it hit Poliwag on the head and sucked him in before snapping shut and shaking back and forth a few times before giving off a few yellow stars and singing making brooklyn squeal in excitement.
"Alright this is a new day. Cause I caught a Poliwag!" Brooklyn shouted while holding the Pokèball out in front of her.
"Nice catch." I said as I walked up and put my hand on Brooklyn's shoulder and she beamed like Poliwag before releasing said tadpole.
"Hey Poliwag, I'm Brooklyn and these are my friends Ross and Misty. Would you like to come with me on a journey?" Brooklyn asked as she knelt down but I was too distracted by a white furry figure digging through my bag and Poliwag nodded emphatically before leaving into Brooklyn's arms and she hugged him tightly.
"I'll be back in a minute." I said while walking over to my bag and signalled for Butterfree to use Confusion. Butterfree nodded and picked up the furry bag digger and it was revealed to be a white monkey with a long tail and brown hands and feet.
"What is that?" I said as I pointed my pokedex at it.
"Mankey the pig monkey Pokémon. Mankey usually lives in treetop colonies and if one becomes angry then the whole colony rampages for no reason." The pokedex explained.
"You know if you wanted some food you could have just asked." I told the monkey while I pulled out a bag of cookies and gave one to Mankey who had been released and grabbed it before eating it slowly and then giving me a nod of respect before leaping back and giving a 'come get me' sign and I grinned.
"Alright then, Bulbasaur I choose you!" I shouted as my grass type appeared on the ground and swiped her foot on the ground while Mankey swiped the air in anticipation and then ran at Bulbasaur and swiped her with his hands multiple times making her grunt in pain with every swipe.
"Break off and use Razor Leaf!" Bulbasaur leapt back and them shot a flurry of glowing green leaves at Mankey who crossed his arms and braced himself against the hit.
"Now use Leech Seed!" Bulbasaur shot a glowing seed at Mankey who was hit in the stomach and vines wrapped around him before he was zapped by a red light making him wince in pain.
"Straight into Vine Whip!" Bulbasaur whipped her vines at Mankey but he jumped up and then came down with his foot stretched out and glowing a light blue colour and then slammed Bulbasaur back and then ran up and chopped her in the head with a glowing white hand making her cry out at the assault.
"Wow, that's really strong. In that case..." I said while pulling out a pokeball and Manley tilted his head in confusion.
"Mankey. You're really strong, so do you want me to catch you?" I said while holding out the pokeball in front of me and Manley said or did nothing but then ran at me and pucnhed the pokeball sending him inside and it shook in my hand before dinging and then shrinking and the button glowed a permenant red.
"Oh yeah that's your seventh Pokemon isn't it?" Misty said as she came over and pulled out a towel and Brooklyn did the same.
"Yeah, so that means Mankey is locked in there?" I said as I grabbed a towel as well.
"No, if you press the send button on your pokedex it will send all locked pokeballs to where your Pokemon get sent to and then they can unlock it themselves." Misty explained as she picked up my pokedex and pointed to the button and I pressed it, making Mankey's pokeball glow white and teleport away.
"oh cool." I remarked as we got dressed and I then activated the phone feature on my pokedex and called Professor Oak and his lab appeared on the screen after about 20 seconds.
"Oh hello Ross, what can I do for you today?" He asked as he ate from a bowl off screen.
"Hi Professor, you see I caught a man key today and he was sent to the lab so I was wondering if he was okay." I said as I pulled on my goodie and then sat down next to Brooklyn who had a bag of popcorn out and gave a bit to me.
"Ah yes the Mankey that arrived a few minutes earlier. He's fine. He was just released into the pastures and seems to be comfortable enough. Would you like me to go and get him?" The Professor said as he walked off the screen and then cane back a few minutes later holding Mankey in his arms who had a apple in his arms and was eating happily before looking up and waving to me happily.
"Hey Mankey. I promise as soon as we get to a Pokemon centre I'll bring you over so we can bond properly" I said and Mankey nodded before professor oak put him down and he wandered off the screen.
"Ok well I'd better be going now, dinner won't make itself." Professor oak said and I nodded before I hung up on my end as well.
"Ok that's taken care of so now what?" I said as I put my pokedex away in my bag and pulled my hoodie off again and saw Butterfree concentrate for a second before a blue orb appeared in between her hands and a blue beam shot out but it disappeared before it hit the tree she was aiming for.
"woah was that a new move?" I said and misty came over, having seen the whole thing.
"If I had to guess, I'd say it was Psybeam." She said and Butterfree looked frustrated.
"Hey don't worry about it. I'll help you master it and we'll be stronger in no time." I said while throwing a fist out in front of me before realizing something.
"I don't know anything about Psychic type moves." I said aloud making Misty face palm before walking over.
"Ok so what you want to do is focus the power you use for confusion and then channel it to your arms or antenna of you want and then hold it for a second before releasing." She explained and Butterfree nodded and tried the attack again, this time following Misty's instructions and managed to hit the tree and create a decent mark on it making her cheer at her success.
"That was so awesome Butterfree!" I shouted as Butterfree landed on my head and I patted her.
"Ok guys. Dinners ready!" Brooklyn shouted and we turned to see Brooklyn standing at the table with three plates of curry and rice with some glasses of moo moo milk.
"Wow, this looks delicious!" I exclaimed as we all sat down and started to dig in. "And it tastes even better!" I said as the goodness overwhelmed my taste buds.
"It's not that good Ross." Brooklyn giggled as she ate her own plate and then took a drink of her milk.
"So what should we do once we get to the Pokemon centre later?" Misty said as she finished her own plate.
"Well I was thinking I could bring Mankey over and you and I could have a battle." I said while looking at Brooklyn as we waited for her to finish her food so we could pack up and leave.
"Why you and I?" Brooklyn said as she finished and we held off the conversation until we were ready to go and were pulling our bags on.
"Well you and I did just catch new Pokemon, so what better way to start bonding than with a battle? We could even have a two on two if you wanted." I explained as we walked along the path and Brooklyn put her finger on her chin in thought for a second.
"Alright then, your on. But don't go crying when you lose to a girl." She teased and then ran off ahead as thebpokemon centre came into sight at the top of the hill.
"Same to you!" I shouted as I ran after her and Misty sighed before running to catch up with us.
June 3rd. 5:30pm. Pokemon centre battlefields
"This will be a two on two battle between Ross and Brooklyn. Neither trainer may substitute Pokemon and the match will be over when either side's team is unable to continue." Misty said as she stood in the referee's box and Brooklyn held a pokeball in her hand and I did the same.
"Go Fennekin!" Brooklyn yelled as her starter appeared on her side of the field and barked at me.
"Alright Pikachu, get in there." I said while holding my arm out and Pikachu ran down my arm and jumped into the field sparking his cheeks.
"This battle will be between Pikachu and Fennekin, begin!" Misty said as she threw her arms down.
Ross:Pikachu1 Pokémon vs Brooklyn:Fennekin1 Pokémon
"Alright, use Scratch!" Brooklyn yelled. Fennekin jumped into the air and her claws elongated and glwoed white before she aimed it at Pikachu.
"Counter with Iron Tail!" Pikachu leapt into Fenniken's path and flipped while his tail glowed silver and the moves collided sending both Pokémon skidding to the ground with no signs of pain on their faces.
"Thunderbolt!" Pikachu sent a stream of electricity at Fenniken who looked calm despite the power behind the attack.
"Ember, go!" Brooklyn shouted. Fennekin formed a fireball in front of her mouth and shot it at the Thunderbolt causing it to explode sending both Pokemon skidding back while wincing.
"Quick Attack!" Pikachu glowed with a blue aura and then shot forward but Fennekin crouched low in anticipation.
"Jump and dodge it!" Brooklyn yelled. Fennekin leapt into the air and then turned around so she was facing Pikachu who had skidded to a stop. "Now use Ember!" Fenniken shot another fireball at Pikachu, this one connecting and sending Pikachu into the air while Fennekin landed in the ground.
"Into Hidden Power!" Fennekin formed a silver orb of energy in front of her mouth and then shot it where Pikachu was landing sending him skidding back with a pained look on his face.
"Alright, get it going again with Iron tail!" I shouted. Pikachu leapt into the air and his tail started glowing silver again and he flipped so his tail was aimed at Fennekin.
"Use Flame Charge!" Fennekin had a flame erupt around her body and then shot into the air and collided with Pikachu causing an explosion and sending both Pokémon to the ground with Pikachu on the ground with swirly eyes and Fennekin standing but looking tired.
"Pikachu is unable to battle, Fenniken is the winner. Ross choose your last Pokémon." Misty said as she gestured to Fennekin who looked happy to have won.
"Good work Pikachu. Get a good rest and leave the rest to Mankey." I said as I picked up Pikachu and then placed him next to me in the trainer box and then pulled out Mankey's pokeball and then enlargened it.
"Mankey, I choose you!" I shouted the monkey appeared and gave an excited look and hopping from foot to foot before stopping and punching the air rapidly.
"Well he has enthusiasm." I said while staring at my Pokémon's antics before Misty cleared her throat and started the next round.
"This battle will be between Mankey and Fenniken, begin!" She said as she threw her arms down.
Ross:Mankey vs Brooklyn:Fenniken1 Pokémon.
"Use Brick Break!" I shouted, having scanned Mankey earlier, and Mankey ran forward and hit Fenniken in the side with a glowing hand before she could react and she was sent tumbling back.
"Ember!" Fennekin smirked and formed an fireball in front of her and then shot it at mankey who crouched and then jumped over by himself.
"Mega Kick, go!" I shouted and Mankey slammed his glowing blue foot into Fenniken's head and she crashed to the ground and struggled to rise before fainting.
"Fenniken is unable to battle, Mankey wins. Brooklyn choose your last Pokémon." Misty said as Brooklyn returned her starter to her Pokèball and then swapped it out after praising Fennekin.
"Go Poliwag!" Brooklyn shouted as she threw the Pokèball forward and it snapped open to reveal Poliwag who had a happy look on his face and danced in place until he saw he was in a battle and then took on a serious look.
"This battle will be between Mankey and Poliwag, begin!" Misty said as she threw her hands down.
Ross:Mankey vs Brooklyn:Poliwag
"Alright, Brick Break!" I shouted. Mankey sprinted forward and raised his hand while it glowed white in preparation to hit Poliwag with it.
"Water Gun, go!" Poliwag reared his head and shot a stream of high pressured water at Mankey who couldn't move in time and was sent flying back.
"Now Bubble!" Poliwag shot a flurry of glowing blue bubbles at Mankey who took initiative and leaped over the attack.
"Use Mega Kick!" Mankey shot down and slammed into Poliwag with a glowing blue foot sending him tumbling back and stood up with a dizzy look.
"Quick, Water Pulse!" Poliwag charged up a orb of clear blue water and then fired it at Mankey who was hit and sent flying into the air and then Poliwag leapt after him.
"Use Double-Slap!" Polowag spun in the air and then his tail glowed brightly.
"Use Brick Break!" Mankey righted himself and then hit Poliwag with his hand while Poliwag slapped him several times and they both landed on the opposite side of the field to their trainer and stared at each other for about 20 seconds before they both fell to the ground with swirly eyes.
"Both Pokémon is unable to battle, this match is a draw!" Misty said as we both recalled our Pokémon.
"That was a awesome battle Brooklyn, you and Poliwag worked great together." I said as I walked over and extended my arm for a handshake.
"You and Mankey were good as well." Brooklyn replied as she took my arms and then we shook hands before grinning together and breaking off to run inside for some r and r.
