Pokemon Johto is now at 91 reviews. A mega shoutout goes out to my 100th reviewer ;)

In today's chapter we welcome Scyther to Evan's Pokemon party table, and in case you've haven't noticed Quilava is already at Level 36, soooo... *hint hint*

No one said anything about Scyther and Metal Coat in last chapter's reviews. I thought you guys might have figured it out, but I guess not. And before I forget, there's this really awesome story coming up called Livin' By The Badge by my pal Retro Charizard. The story is already up with one chapter, which is an OC chart. The story is currently open for OCs, so if you're interested, go review and submit an OC.

Quite a few interesting stuff will happen in this chapter, so keep on reading!

Thanks to that legend kid, lowgster and ShadowDuDeX for the reviews!

"Flame Wheel, go!" Quilava's flaming balled-up form smashed into the face of Matt's Kingler, sending it rolling backwards.

"Kingler, hit back with a Crabhammer!" Matt yelled. Kingler leaped onto Quilava with a glowing pincer, but Quilava dodged the attack skillfully and under Evan's orders, dealt the finishing blow with a Quick Attack.

"Qui... lavaaaa!" Quilava growled, and started to glow white. It became bigger, and now stood on two legs instead of four. The glowing stopped, and Quilava was no longer there - instead it was now a different and bigger Pokemon that looked similar to Quilava.

"Typhlosion, the Volcano Pokemon. Whenever Typhlosion is angered, it becomes so hot that anything that touches it will go up in flames. When heat from it's body causes the air around it to shimmer, this is a sign that it is ready for battle."

"Thank you, PokeDex," Evan grinned, keeping his device.

"You were right, buddy," Matt walked over, recalling his Kingler. "Quilava really was going to evolve. I guess all that training sessions with me paid off, huh?" He smirked.

"Don't be so full of pride," Crystal butted in, carrying her cute little Togepi as usual. "Evan made Quilava evolve through his own hard work."

"Whatever, but I just know I had a part in it," Matt's smirk grew wider. Crystal glared at him. He glared back.

"Chill," Evan grinned. "Typhlosion looks a whole lot stronger than Quilava. Nice work, Typhlosion. Speaking of Fire-types, I wonder how Charizard is doing back in Pallet..." The young Trainer was stung by nostalgia.

"I'm sure he's doing fine at Professor Oak's," Matt assured.

"Where do we go next?" Crystal asked.

Evan looked at his Pokegear. "We should be at Ecruteak very soon if we follow the path," he pointed towards a path between a long row of trees.

"What are we waiting for?" Matt grinned. "Let's go!" He skipped away, followed by Evan and Crystal. The path wasn't long, and the three were soon reaching the end of the path, when they saw a familiar obstacle.

"That tree...?" Evan frowned. At the end of the path, they could see the entrance of a city, perhaps Ecruteak City. But in between the end of the path and the city's entrance was a long row of trees.

"Impossible!" Matt frowned. There should be a small entrance between the trees."

"Maybe that is the problem," Crystal pointed towards a small tree between the row of large trees. The small tree was smaller in size and looked quite different from the rest.

"Hey! We saw that tree near Violet City, remember?" Evan told his two other friends. "When I just got my first badge!"

"Yeah, now I remember," Matt frowned. "That was a few months ago."

To everyone's amazement, the small tree suddenly started dancing. Well, not exactly dance, but it started shaking wildly.

"Do you see what I see?" Evan asked.

"You mean about the tree dancing? Yeah, I see it," Crystal continued staring at the moving tree.

"Ah, whatever!" Matt stepped forward. "Dancing tree or not, we'll have to get this tree out of the way if we want to get to Ecruteak! Kingler, use your Hydro Pump!" Kingler came out of it's Pokeball and used the Water-type move. To everyone's shock, the tree's branches started moving. The tree's roots came out from the ground, and two eyes, a nose and a mouth became visible on the bark of the tree.

"That's not a tree at all!" Crystal gasped.

"It's a Pokemon disguised as a tree," Matt looked at the tree-like Pokemon. It had definitely fooled them alright. "Seems like Kingler's Hydro Pump irritated it so much that it couldn't keep up the disguise!"

Evan flipped his PokeDex open, and pointed it at the creature to be sure it was a Pokemon. The screen of the PokeDex lit up with the picture of the creature in front of them.

"Sudowoodo, the Imitation Pokemon. Although Sudowoodo often pretends to be a tree, it's composition appears to be closer to a rock than a plant. It hates water, and will stop it's imitation when it starts raining."

"So that's why," Matt petted his Kingler. "Good ol' Kingler!"

"Sudoooo!" Sudowoodo glared at them, obviously annoyed by the Hydro Pump attack inflicted on it.

"Looks like it wants to battle," Evan grinned. "I can catch it so the path to Ecruteak City won't be blocked anymore - and at the same time test out my new Typhlosion! Go!" Evan threw the Pokeball, and Typhlosion burst out of it.

"Phlooosion!" Typhlosion roared.

"Sudowoodoooo!" Sudowoodo lifted a fist to punch the ground. Small rocks flew up from the impact of Sudowoodo's punch, and hit Typhlosion in the chest.

"That was Rock Throw!" Evan looked at his PokeDex. "Let's see what new tricks you've got... Okay, Typhlosion, fry that thing with Lava Plume!" The area around Sudowoodo exploded, sending the Imitation Pokemon flying into the air. "Sudowoodo's a Rock-type," Evan frowned. "I thought it was a Grass-type. I better not use Fire-type moves then."

"Sudo!" Sudowoodo picked itself up from the ground. "Suuudooooo!" Sudowoodo growled. To Evan's surprise, the ground around Typhlosion exploded as well, dealing some damage.

"That was Sudowoodo's Mimic!" Evan looked at his PokeDex. "Mimic copies the last attack of the target and uses it against the target!"

"Sudo!" Sudowoodo attacked again, this time with another Rock Throw. Typhlosion dodged the flying rocks.

"Since Fire-type moves aren't effective... then use your Swift attack!" An array of stars came flying out of Typhlosion's mouth and towards Sudowoodo. It tried to dodge, but the stars followed, and soon Sudowoodo was blasted by the army of yellow stars.

"Great move, Typhlosion," Evan grinned.

"Sudowoodoooo!" Sudowoodo jumped back up and charged. Like a karate master, Sudowoodo dropped to the ground skillfully and kicked out at Typhlosion's legs. The huge Pokemon was sent clattering to the ground.

"Low Kick," Matt said grimly. "Evan, watch out for that. Low Kick does heavier damage on heavier Pokemon!"

"I see," Evan nodded. "Then... Typhlosion, return!" He recalled Typhlosion. "Time to test out my new Pokemon. Scyther, go!"

"Evan, are you sure that's a good-" Crystal started.

"Scyyyytheeerrr!"

"-idea?" She finished.

"Well, now that you've said it..." Evan shook his head. "No, not really."

Crystal did a face-palm.

"Ah, well, let's just give this a shot. Scyther, Slash!" Evan yelled. Scyther followed orders, but instead executed the attack on Evan instead of Sudowoodo. Evan was lucky to have dodged in time. "Scyther?"

"Scyy!" Scyther said angrily, and pounced on Evan again while Sudowoodo watched, clearly amused.

"Uh oh..." Evan gasped, as Scyther descended upon him, ready to land a blow, when a flash of blue collided into Scyther and knocked it away. Matt's newly-acquired Heracross was pitting itself against the raging Scyther. "Whew... Thanks."

"No problem," Matt grinned. "You've gotta tame that Scyther sometime."

"Yeah," Evan sighed. "Scyther, return!" Recalling his disobedient Pokemon as Matt recalled his Heracross, Evan sent out another. "Noctowl, use Attract!" Noctowl came out of it's Pokeball and sent little hearts flying towards Sudowoodo, who conveniently happened to be a male.

"Sudooo?" Sudowoodo had a blank expression on it's face, obviously unclear on what the hearts would do, until they hit. Sudowoodo's pair of beady eyes turned into heart-shaped ones. Attract had worked!

"Good work, Noctowl. Now dish out your Confusion!" Noctowl's Confusion hit Sudowoodo hard, but it did nothing to retaliate, clearly because it was infatuated by Attract. "It's pretty weak now, so... Pokeball, go!" Evan flung the Pokeball. It hit Sudowoodo, and sucked the Pokemon into the Pokeball. The Pokeball shook for awhile, but eventually stopped.

"Yes! I've got it!" Evan did a super-star pose with his newly-caught Sudowoodo's Pokeball.

"Good for you, kid. Now let's get to Ecruteak," Matt shrugged and walked through the spot where Sudowoodo had once been, followed by the other two. The Sudowoodo-disguised tree had been blocking the way from Violet City to Goldenrod City as well. Now it would be a lot more convenient and quicker for people who wanted to travel from Violet City to Goldenrod City or Ecruteak City and vice versa.

"Looks like I saved the day again," Evan smirked.

"Don't be too happy yet, kid!" Matt laughed. "You only have three badges. You've still got a long way to go..."

"Yeah. You're right," Evan grinned at his two companions. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get into Ecruteak!"


In case anyone even asks, yes, I'll be using Sudowoodo in his team for awhile, but it'll not be in the starting team when Evan gets more than six Pokemon - so yes, after Evan gets more than six Pokemon, Sudowoodo will be banished to Professor Oak's. I don't really like Sudowoodo very much.

Q1: Do you think Evan is a Gary Stu? A Gary Stu is a protangonist that keeps winning, is loved by everyone and basically isn't realistic.
Q2: What are you hoping to see in Evan's battle against Morty?
Q3: What do you think will happen if you jump down from the roof of a ten-storey building? I personally think you'll start flying automatically.
