Hey, it's another weekend episode. I'm sorry but lately I can only get up two episodes a week, one usually on Saturday morning (Because of the help of the week's writing) and one on Sunday. I do try to get one out during the week or three on the weekend but lately I'm stuck for time, but all, don't worry, because the 6 week Summer Break for me is only 3 weeks away and that's when I'm also getting my laptop… YAYAYAYAY! So guess what, more episodes! All you people that don't have a life apart from FanFiction, like me, then you'll love the faster production in the holidays, and I seriously can't wait to get out of school! Now on with the episode!
Episode 25 – Treecko's Strive to the Top
The way that May acted yesterday was a bit odd. I've never seen that side to her before and because it was to Lilly it made me even more uncomfortable. We had left Nimbasa yesterday and then camped out in Lostlorn Forest that night, and this morning we are on our way to the Marvelous Bridge, the most high-tech bridge in all of Unova.
"That's it! The Marvelous Bridge!" Max shrieked as he saw the massive over-whelming bridge a mile away from us. We ran all the way there and entered onto the bridge, which was filled with people and bikers.
"Bikes for rent! Get your bikes so you can ride the Marvelous Bridge in no time and just drop them off at the other side!" a man shouted in a little bike stand that was at the start of the bridge.
"Should would grab some?" May asked Max and I.
"Yeah, why not?" we answered in unison.
"Bikes for rent! Get your bikes so you can ride the Marvelous Bridge in no time and just drop them off at the other side!" a man called that looked nearly identical to the man on the other side. We had just dropped our bikes off and were exiting the Marvelous Bridge, and once again we entered a forest.
"I don't see why they put the most fancy bridge in Unova between two forests," I shrugged, and so did May and Max.
"What forest is this?" May questioned.
"I'm pretty sure it is-" I cut Max off since I'd just used the GPS on my C-Gear.
"It's White Forest!" I exclaimed. "And, it says here that a whole big route used to cover this land but White Forest has expanded and expanded so now it's just a few miles long forest.
"Wow…" May murmured. Just imagine all this forest being road…
"Lunch!" Max called at 12:30pm on the dot. We had made our way over half way through White Forest and decided to stop and have Lunch where the original White Forest began; there's a mark here showing that this was the original start. People back in the day would've had an easier time venturing through White Forest then! But, in the distance you could see a very large tree, much taller than the others. Actually, it was like 10 times the size of the others. "Here you go." Max gave the Pokemon their food while we sat down to have ours. Just as he was about to put the last bowl of PokeChow down he noticed something. "Treecko? Treecko? Treecko, where'd you go?!"
"What's wrong?" May gasped.
"Treecko's gone!" I turned around to see every Pokemon sitting, eating their Lunch except for the little green gecko known as Treecko. "I'm going to have a look around!"
"We'll come too!" May and I answered in unison. We returned all of our Pokemon and packed up the little portable table that we eat on and cook on. Then we started to sprint into the oblivion and the unknown.
Treecko's Insight/POV:
I need to go somewhere where I can battle, where I can train and where I can become stronger. I should be a Grovyle yet alone a Sceptile by now but my trainer just doesn't seem to care for the art of battling. I need a new trainer, hey, even May or Nick would be ok as long as they put me in many battles. I'm sick of Max now, at first it was ok because we were best buds but in Unova, we're just keep drifting apart more and more. He's always using that stupid Ralts now, he's usually the one helping with the Dinner, Lunch and Breakfast and that used to be me and Max's thing to do. Maybe I'll find someone strong in Black City; it's said to be one of the busiest cities in Unova so you never know… Black City here I come!
"Cko!" I shrieked as I jumped from branch to branch.
"Sniv!" I turned around to see a little green Snivy, who looked very buff and strong. "What 'sa Pokemon like 'a you doing in these parts?"
"I came here with a trainer, but he's too weak so I-"
"So you're 'a leaving hem? They says us 'a Snivy leave 'a trainers if they're too weak, but that 'sa not always the case. I haven't left my trainer and it's be 'a 60 years, and we're 'a still trucking on together. He doesn't battle anymore but 'a stay with hem cuz 'a love, and the things we've been through 'a together."
"Get out of my way," I said and dashed past the 60 year old Pokemon. "I'll do whatever I want."
Back to Nick's POV:
We ran through the trees and it seemed as though a path had been made since a straight route went from the little trail we were following to that big tree. Fishy…
"Sniv!" We all turned to see a Snivy on a tree branch. He looked old, yet very strong. I wouldn't want to mess with that Pokemon. "Sni-vy!" I looked at Riolu to see if he could understand it and he tried to interpret what Snivy was saying. "Sniv, Snivy, Vy!"
'Nick, he's asking if any of you have had a runaway Treecko,' Riolu told me.
"Yes, that boy over there, Max, just lost his Treecko," I explained to the Pokemon.
"Sniv!" Snivy screeched and gave that follow me gesture. We all started to sprint after the older Pokemon until we came to an opening and a small house.
"Hello there young fella," an old man said to a Treecko, which we supposed was Max's Treecko. He looked up and over at us. "Leaf, who are the three visitors? Not any of those rotten Team Plasma people again or do we have to teach them a lesson?"
"Snivy!" Snivy shook his head frantically and pointed at Treecko. "Vy, Sniv!"
"Oh, so you're 'a saying that this here Treecko belongs to the short 'a fella?" he asked his Pokemon. Snivy nodded and gave his trainer a thumbs up.
"Treecko, it's so good to see you again! I thought that I'd lost you for good," Max said and went over to hug his Pokemon but he just turned and crossed his arms. "What's wrong, and what's with the attitude?"
"Judging by this Treecko's personality and posture it loves to battle. Do you two battle much?" he questioned Max.
"Well, ah…" Max started.
"No, correct?"
"Yes…"
"I'm sorry to judge 'a little boy but you see, if you wanna raise a Treecko you have to 'a battle with it cuz Treecko's just love to 'a battle, and they're pretty 'a high maintenance," he explained.
"Oh…" Max mumbled. He walked over to his Treecko, and then kneeled down next to him. "Treecko, I'm sorry that I've been neglecting you lately, and also not battling with you. What do you say, how about we have a battle right now?"
"Treecko!" Treecko cheered and nodded.
"Alright then! How about I 'a be 'a your opponent, using Leaf of course," the Old Man told us. "By the way, I'm 'a Old Shirley!" After a few quick introductions they stepped out onto the massive clearing in front of the house - which was perfect for a battle - and they then got the battle underway. "We're 'a bit 'a rusty so sorry if we give 'a you a poor battle. Leaf, use 'a Leaf Blade!"
"Treecko, dodge with Quick Attack!" Max commanded. Treecko quickly dashed to the side, leaving a white trail for Snivy to slam into behind him. "Use close range Bullet Seed!"
"Cko, cko, cko, cko, cko!" Treecko screeched as it pelted Snivy with little seed-bullets. They had a nice mystical green glow around them and as they splashed onto Snivy they also made it look a little dazzling.
"Show 'em your 'a true power! Use 'a Leaf Storm!" Shirley roared. Snivy was then covered in a massive amount of leaves that were shining brightly, before Snivy threw all of the leaves off its body with one roar and made them hurdle towards Treecko.
"Use Mega Drain to push them away!" Max ordered. Treecko put out its palms and then shot out a transparent green beam that pushed its way through the leaves, making a shield for Treecko. It drenched Snivy, but turned red on one side meaning that it was sucking power from Snivy's body and restoring Treecko's own. Even though Treecko hadn't taken any hits it has used up some energy. "Finally finish with Pound!"
"Iron Tail 'a please!" Shirley instructed.
"Vy!" Snivy screeched as its tail became metallic and it started to sprint over to where Treecko was, who was running at top speed. They both jumped and swung their tails around, Treecko using the less-powerful Pound and Snivy using the more-powerful Iron Tail. Treecko was flung back to the floor by Snivy and with another powerful 60 year old attack it would be over.
"Leaf Tornado!" Shirley yelled.
"Destroy it with Bullet Seed!" Mac countered. What Max didn't see which I saw was; Shirley just snickered.
"Tree!" Treecko screamed as it watched the oncoming Leaf Tornado that was roaring towards him. Along the way it was collecting more power; leaves branches and more. "Cko, cko, cko!" Treecko started to fire the green-glowing seeds out of its small mouth but it wasn't enough, it wasn't breaking the Leaf Tornado, if anything it was helping it.
"We're gonna have to use Mega Drain!" Treecko then started to send the same transparent green beam at the tornado and surprisingly the cascade was starting to deteriorate.
"Iron 'a Tail!" Shirley commanded.
"Huh?!" Max gasped. He didn't see that coming but his Treecko couldn't stop the attack now, and Snivy was already jumping over the tornado metallic tail and all. "No Treecko!" Snivy slammed its tail down on Treecko and it fell to the ground. "Come on, you can do this Treecko! Come on!" Suddenly, a bright white light appeared from where Treecko was laying and the gecko Pokemon rose. It was shining and growing bigger. It grew a long leaf thing on top of its head and leaves on its arms grew too. It no longer had the big boofy tail of a Treecko and it shrunk, to a different shape and size…
"Vyle!" Grovyle roared as the new Pokemon entered into the world. It had a pink stomach and shining yellow eyes along with a darker shaded green body.
"Grovyle, the Wood Gecko Pokemon. Grovyle lives in dense jungles. While closing in on its prey, it leaps from branch to branch," Dexter explained. "New Move: Leaf Blade."
"Use Leaf Blade!" both trainers called. Grovyle charged up its arms, which glowed a lush green and Snivy did the same but with his tail. They ran forward and swiped each other, each landing a hit and each still in the battle.
"Use 'a Leaf Storm!" Shirley ordered.
"Vy!" Snivy screeched as he surrounded himself in leaves, and then threw them all at Max's defenseless Grovyle.
"Mega Drain!" Grovyle put out its palms and then shot the transparent green beam which slammed into the Leaf Strom, scattering them everywhere.
"No 'ya don't! Use 'a Leaf Tornado!" Shirley roared. Snivy then jumped on its head and started to spin, forming more leaves but in the shape of a tornado this time. It then threw it, which was so powerful that it sucked up all the scattered leaves from Leaf Tornado, making it the biggest, strongest Leaf Tornado I've ever seen.
"That's… Menacing…" Max mumbled as he looked on in awe at the powerful grass-type attack. "I've got it! Use Leaf Blade to slice up the Leaf Tornado then blow it all back with Mega Drain!"
"Grov!" Grovyle roared as it sped up to the Leaf Tornado and attacked it head on, by using a close range Leaf Blade which sliced up the Leaf Tornado making it easy enough to blow back. It put out its palms and then shot the green transparent beam. It pushed all of the shining leaves back which surged into Leaf, making it stuck under all the leaves and the sticky Mega Drain.
"Leaf!" Shirley shouted as he dug through the leaves and sticky muck. He finally reached his Pokemon and pulled him out, he was unable to battle. "Wow 'a Max, you're sure a good battler!"
"Thanks Shirley!" he replied and ran over to hug Grovyle. "You were great buddy."
"Has any of you had 'a Lunch yet?" Shirley asked us all.
"No!" we all answered in unison.
"Then how about I make you 'a some, on the 'a house?" Shirley questioned and all of us and our grumbling stomachs couldn't wait to go inside his house.
"Bye Shirley!" we said, waving at him. It was now 2:00pm and after a nice chat we finally headed off.
"It should only be about half an hour's walk from here to the edge of Black City, which is the city before Undella Town!" he told us all as he and Leaf waved.
"Vyle!" Grovyle screeched as it waved goodbye too, now out of his pokeball. On towards Black City and then new adventures! We were getting closer to my home every second!

NEXT EPISODE – The Thieving of the Black Orb
Hey guys – I know, this episode was probably a little boring but next episode will be action packed since I have been hinting this episode lately and now that it's here I'm excited!
