Hey it's Mel again.
:D
So now we're about to head over to Floaroma Town. But before that, well, I'll let you find out.
*is being vague on purpose*
I don't own Pokémon!
We finally got through the lower part of Route 204. Quentin said that there was an upper half but that was blocked off by the Ravaged Path. We were told that to get through, we need Rock Smash.
"Well shoot." Mel said while looking through her Pokédex, "I don't know which one to teach it to…"
"Let me see it." And Quentin took the HM from Me "I can just teach it to one of my Pokémon."
"But you need a Coal Badge to use it outside of battle!"
Then Quentin rummaged through his pocket and pulled one out.
"I forgot to mention, didn't I? When I was around 12, my dad gave me my first Pokémon. I trained for a bit and earned my first gym battle. Afterward, I decided to stay in Oreburgh for a bit and train."
Mel just looked at the badge in amazement.
"Wait, does this make us rivals then?"
"No don't worry. I feel that I'm cut out for the Pokémon League. Anyway, I'll just teach this to my Machop then. This won't take too long."
About thirty minutes later Quentin came back with his Machop. They were looking pretty successful. I guess that it worked.
"It took a while to figure out how these HMs work, but he finally learned it. Let's go then!"
We entered the dark cave and saw only three things: darkness, rocks, and Zubat. We decided to rush our way through seeing that we didn't want to get attacked by Zubat. After wandering around for a bit, Mel let out Sparkle.
"Sparkle, could you use Spark please? That might make it better to see in here…"
Sparkle understood and began to store energy again. Once she was all charged up, she went to the front of the group to lead the way. Quentin had his Machop go up ahead a bit just in case there were rocks blocking the path and I went up just to be next to Sparkle. Soon we reached the end of the tunnel and saw daylight once again. We quickly exited the path and got back on Route 204.
"I wonder if I should catch another Pokémon."
"Why Quinny? You just got a Budew. What would be the point of catching another one now?"
"Then the score would be 4 to 3." he replied while running off with his Machop
"Oh no he didn't! Come on Pen, Sparkle! Let's catch a new friend as well. That'll show him!"
After almost an hour we meet back together. Quentin and Mel both had this stupid look on their faces. They both agreed to show what they've caught when they got to another Pokémon Center. Mel and Quentin must have both caught a Pokémon and trained it bit. We decided to just move on and go to the next town. After all, it was just a small walk away.
"Do you guys smell that?" Mel said while running ahead a bit
When we passed the gate for Floaroma Town, we were greeted with a great smell. The whole town seemed to be surrounded by fields and fields of flowers.
"That smell is just absolutely lovely!" Sparkle said while walking up to the closest patch
Mel and Sparkle couldn't seem to leave the flower beds. Quentin and I decided to just drag them to the Pokémon Center.
After we were healed, Mel and Quentin gathered us in a small corner of the center. The six of us Pokémon began to socialize while Mel began to speak.
"Okay guys, Quentin and I both caught a new Pokémon. It's now time for you guys to meet them!"
Then at the same time, they released their balls. Out of the red stream of light came two figures about the same size. As the light dispersed, the sight left us all in surprise. Standing there were two identical Wurmple.
"What! You caught a Wurmple too?" Mel said disappointed
"Wow, I guess so then."
Mel went and scanned Quentin's Wurmple while she let Fluttershy go and mingle with her other Pokémon.
"Wurmple – The Worm Pokémon. Often targeted by bird Pokémon, it desperately resists by releasing poison from its tail spikes."
"I'm pretty sure your Wurmple is male, Quinny. I checked mine earlier and it said it was a female."
"Huh, well, at least I have a new friend now." Quentin said while picking his Wurmple up
After introductions were over, Mel and Quentin thought they should at least look around the town. Mel left me in charge of the group while they left off further into town. I took everyone outside and we decided to wait in one of the flower beds near the Pokémon Center until our trainers returned.
"It's such a lovely day. Right Pen?" Sparkle asked while rolling in the flowers
"It is. By the way, how are you holding up Flutter?"
Fluttershy popped up out of a patch and looked around until she saw me.
"I'm doing just fine Pen. Mel seems like a great trainer. I hope that with her, I can become strong and evolve like my other siblings!"
Stan flew in and asked "Do you know what you're going to evolve into Flutter?"
"Actually, I don't."
"What do you mean?" I asked "Didn't you just say that your sibling have already evolved?"
"Yeah but I can actually evolve into two forms."
"Really?" Sparkle said while getting up from her position
"Yeah. Some of my siblings became Silcoons and some became Cascoons. Isn't that right Wurmple?"
Just then, Quentin's Wurmple popped out of the field and joined our conversation.
"I don't know about you, but I want to become a Cascoon like my dad."
"I want to be a Silcoon like my mom." Fluttershy added with a smile
"Can't you control what you evolve into?" Sparkle asked
"I don't think so." Wurmple responded "I think it's random. But I think we're pretty close to evolving."
I really want to see how this turns out…
Afterwards Mel and Quentin came back with some new supplies and said that we were going to move on ahead. As we walked towards Route 205, we saw a small girl that was crying. Instantly, Mel went to comfort her. The girls said something about her dad and the Valley Windworks.
"Quinny, you stay here with her while I go and see what's going on at the Windworks. Come on Pen."
As Mel and I approached the Valley Windworks, we saw that at the door was a familiar person. The man looked just like the guys we defeated in Jubilife yesterday. We went on ahead to ask him what he was doing there. Before we knew it, we were in a Pokémon battle.
Oh great. Not another Glameow!
However, Mel didn't use me. She went and sent out Fluttershy. I felt a bit sad but I figured she needed some training. However, after getting hit a couple of times, Mel switched Fluttershy out for Stan and he ended up winning. As the guy went back into the building, he mumbled something about a Valley Windworks card. We then began to run back to Floaroma Town.
"Mel! What happened?" Quentin asked while we ran by
"No time! I'll be back soon!"
By the time we got back to town, it was already night time. We found an entrance to a meadow in the North West end of town. I remember that there were two suspicious guys standing there just this afternoon.
"Look! More of those grunts!" Stan said while entering the meadow
He was right. There were two more of those grunts harassing a man. Mel stepped forward and challenged them. Before anyone could send out their Pokémon however, Quentin came in and decided to help out.
"Quinny! Where's the little girl!"
"Don't worry. I left her with the nurse in the Pokémon Center."
"Fine whatever. Let's just battle now."
The battle began. Since Quentin joined, so did the other grunt. One of them sent out a Stunky and the other sent out a Zubat. Both Mel and Quentin brought out their Wurmple.
I hope this goes well…
After about half way through the battle, Mel and Quentin finally took down the grunt's Stunky. They used a combo of Tackle, Poison Sting and String Shot. They decided to switch their Wurmple out with Sparkle and Budew.
"Let's finish this!"
As Budew used Asorb, Sparkle went in with a Spark and knocked out one of the Zubat. Then the grunt sent out one more Zubat but it went down just like the one before it. When the two grunts left, they said something about Galactic and the Windworks. Behind them, they left the key to the Windworks so Mel decided to pick it up.
"Before we head over, let's go get Fluttershy and your Wurmple all healed up."
"Good idea."
We rested at the Pokémon Center for about five minutes. Once Mel got Fluttershy's ball back, she came running over towards us.
"Come on out Fluttershy."
"You too Wurmple."
Both Bug Pokémon came out of their balls with slight smiled. Just then, both of them began to glow simultaneously. They didn't really grow like the rest of us. All they did was curl up and begin to coat themselves with String Shot.
"I guess that last battle was enough for them." Mel said while pulling out her Pokédex
"I guess so…"
And that's it for this chapter.
:D
Yes, I did name my Wurmple Fluttershy. (I'm a MLP fan, remember?)
Anyway, I'll save what they evolve into for the next chapter. The thing is I always get tense when I catch a Wurmple. Whenever I hope it evolves into a Silcoon, I usually get a Cascoon and vice versa.
-.-"
So the fact that I name them something that pertains to their final evolution gets ruined. I hope others know what I'm talking about.
