HGSS: Johto Saga
Season 4, Opening: This Dream
Part 25
Third in Vine
Rolling hills lay before our heroes on their trip to Olivine City. As they approach they see something that interests them...
"All port cities are so HUGE!" Lyra gasped.
Ethan thinks about how she knows, since Olivine is the only port city in Johto.
"I guess...?"
As they entered, they took in the sights and the smells. The fresh fragrance of salt water was in the air, and made Ethan tear up a bit. The wind was blowing at a brisk pace, making it cool even with the sun glaring.
Lyra suddenly realizes how loud it was, being such a large town. People were bustling about, departing the many ships and ferries that were docked, doors open to one of the houses with a large family inside. She then dropped her head.
"There's always a downside to something good...but I could come to like this place!" She says, brightening and turning on her PokeGear.
Ethan looks around. Suddenly, he smells the sweet aroma of a cafe. He realizes he hasn't eaten in awhile, so he sneaks away from Lyra and towards the west of town.
He rounds a corner and smells the cafe again. He then spots the building where a door is held open and enters it.
Sitting down, he smells the food from behind the wall.
"So...good!" He picks up a menu and starts to gaze at the wonderful things printed on it; hamburgers, cheese fries, and other lunch meals.
After some time, Lyra walks in, a scowl creating an indent on her face.
"Ethan!" She screams.
Ethan turns on his stool, a fry hanging out his mouth and a burger in the other hand.
"Yefh?" He asks through a full mouth.
Lyra sighs then smells the wonderful aroma. "Well, I guess this isn't all bad..."She takes a seat and orders as well.
As soon as they were done, they noticed the people behind two menus across the counter from them. They peaked over them, but when Ethan and Lyra looked, they ducked down again. Ethan jumps off the stool and walks over to them.
"Hello?" He asks, pushing the menus out of the way. There, sitting in the seats, were Brandon and May.
"Um...hey Ethan!" Brandon stammered.
"Brandon! May!" Ethan called.
Lyra appears on the other side of May.
"Hey!"
A few minutes later, on the end of a deserted pier on the other side of Olivine...
The four of them sit, chatting about there adventures so far.
"Well, I got my 5th Badge..." Brandon started.
"Darn, still one badge ahead of me!" Ethan grunted.
"Heh!" Brandon laughed.
May and Lyra chatted about contests.
"I have four ribbons now, so I need to win the one in Pacifidlog Town next week..." May started.
"I got my first ribbon yesterday in Smith Town!" Lyra shrieked.
"Awesome. So you're one step further to the Grand Festival!" May replied.
"I hope you win your Grand Festival, May!" Lyra smiled. "Oh, and why are you guys back anyway? No offense, I mean."
"Because of the Wallace Cup. It's a contest that takes place in a random area every year. This year, it's on the islet just outside of Olivine on the ocean," May explains. "A ribbon there is good for any region anywhere. That's why we came. If I win that, I won't have to worry about Pacifidlog. So, I trained combination's for both."
Lyra nodded. "Cool, so there's the Wallace Cup here! I'll definitely be there...Where and when is it again?" Lyra asked.
"It's in two days on an island between here and Cianwood City."
Brandon nodded at what she was saying, telling Ethan that he was going to participate just for fun.
"I will too then. I guess we could all stay together until the Cup?" Ethan suggested.
Everyone was good with the idea. "But, Brandon, May. There's something I wanted to do since you guys left. Have a Tag Team Battle: Me and Lyra vs. You two!"
Brandon and May glanced at each other.
"Sounds great!" They cheered in unison.
Later, they all met on the outskirts of Olivine City.
"Three pokemon for each trainer!" Ethan called out. Everyone nodded.
"Come on out, Swellow!" Brandon called. A blue and red pokemon flittered from his pokeball.
"Okay, let's show them the ropes, Roserade!" May called, sending out a tall, green pokemon with a white rose head and bouquets of red and blue flowers on either arm. "I evolved Roselia on our way to Hoenn, so now its awesome and ready!"
Lyra sent out her Bayleef. Ethan sent out Noctowl.
"So both of your pokemon have evolved since then!" Brandon said.
"Yup! Okay, Noctowl, use Aerial Ace!" Noctowl rushed forward, the wind arcing around it.
"Swellow, use Double Team!" Swellow split into ten of itself, causing Noctowl to fly through the wrong one. It arched over, however, and slammed into the real Swellow. "Nice, counter, but it can't counter this! Use Steel Wing!" Swellow quickly recovered and smashed into Noctowl with gray wings.
Noctowl slid across the ground.
"Bayleef, use Vine Whip!" Bayleef lashed out with vines.
"Roserade, use Sludge Bomb!" Roserade twirled and released sludge into the air. They dropped down like bombs and slammed the vines to the ground.
"Whoa, awesome variation!"
Roserade then twirled again, told to use Energy Ball, and fired a ball of green, spiraling energy at Bayleef.
"Noctowl, Aerial Ace!" Noctowl stood up and use Aerial Ace straight through the energy and slammed into Roserade.
"Roserade!?"
"Swellow, use Hyper Beam!" Swellow charged its power and released an orange beam from its mouth. It collided with Noctowl and Bayleef and fainted them.
"Noctowl!"
"Bayleef!"
They recall their pokemon.
"Okay, so we have to make smart decisions. So, I'm going with Aipom!" Aipom hops off of Ethan's shoulder.
"Okay, then my choice is...Marill!" Lyra sends out her blue pokemon. It screams in anticipation. "Marill, use Brine on Swellow!"
"Aipom, use Swift on Roserade!" Aipom span and released waves of swift upon the grass type. Roserade took the attack, but soon was thrown across the dirt. Brine connected with Swellow, drenching it.
"Swellow, now use Payback!" Swellow shouted and rushed for Marill. It jabbed its beak into Marill and threw it into Lyra's arms, fainted.
"What?!"
"Payback does double damage if it goes after the opponent's attack. Tough Luck, huh?"
She recalls Marill.
"Then it's my last one, go, Venomoth!" Lyra sends out her large bug type.
"Aipom, use Focus Punch!" Aipom darted across the field and threw its fist at Roserade.
"Roserade, use Reflect!" Roserade spanned a large mirror in front of it and blocked the attack. Aipom quickly threw its tail into Swift and finished off Roserade, however.
"No, my Roserade!" May shrieked. She called it back and smirked. "Come on, Beautifly!" She sent out her bug type pokemon.
"Venomoth, use Silver Wind!"
"Swellow, use Double Team!" Swellow split into ten forms and darted for Venomoth. The Silver Wind dissipated all of the clones and threw Swellow across the ground.
"Heh, this battle's getting interesting! Aipom, use Double Team!" Aipom split into three forms and jumped into the air. "Connect your tails and use Swift!" They all interlaced their tails' fingers and flipped about to send a large barrage of stars to crash into both Swellow and Beautifly.
Beautifly darted into the air without being hit.
"Yes, use Solarbeam!" The sun glared and allowed Beautifly to fire the attack immediately, crashing into the two fake Aipom. The real Aipom was able to slip under it.
Swellow had fainted, so Brandon recalled it.
"Looks like it's shortening us down to even...well, come on out, Sceptile!" Brandon sent out a very large, tall green pokemon with a large bushy tail and a back full of yellow bulbs. "Now it gets serious!"
