HP: Padfoot's Next Great Adventure: Kanto
Sparks Fly for Magnemite
After winning the Hudson Town's P-1 Grand Prix, a few days later, Padfoot and his friends find themselves in a desolate factory town known as Gringy City. A depressing place were few people live, and even the ocean winds smell like sludge.
As they walked along the harbor, Padfoot grimaced at the smell. Cautiously looked down, and hoped that he didn't step in some Pokémon's waste.
"This is a really weird city. Lot's of factories, but no people," Ash comments, looking around as they came to a stop.
Misty then opnes up a green book. "This place is called Gringy City," she reads.
"Gringy? Never heard of it."
"Neither have I. Though in a way, the name suits the place," Padfoot added his thoughts on the matter.
"It used to be a lively, busy place, with all these factories here," Misty tells them.
"Yeah. They kinda went overboard with factories. Pollution ruined the air and water here," Brock said.
"I guess we won't find any Pokémon here."
"Probably not, my brother. I don't know of any Pokémon that would want to live in a place like this," Padfoot thought to Ash.
Suddenly, he heard sparks, and looked down. Pikachu's cheeks were sparking, and he looked like he might be sick, with that blush over his nose and under his eyes. Ash and the others looked down and saw what he saw.
"Pi... ka," he moaned, and swayed.
"Pikachu, what's wrong?" Ash asks.
"Pi... ka..." he swayed even more, until he was about to fall over.
Padfoot and the others made silent gasped.
"Pikachu!" Ash quickly grabs Pikachu, then without warning, he is shocked. "AAAH!"
Padfoot, Brock, and Misty were a safe distance behind Ash, being shocked. Padfoot held up his right paw. An outline of purple energy appeared, and his 4 appendages rose up and glowed the same color.
Pikachu's body became outlined with the same purple colored energy, and soon Pikachu was separated from Ash. Padfoot was using Psychic to levitate the sparking, Mouse Pokémon, while Ash got his bearings under control.
"Thanks Pad," Ash said, and went through his green back pack to take out his pink rubber gloves.
Padfoot nodded, and waited for Ash to get the gloves on, and allowed Ash to hold Pikachu. He released Psychic, and turned to look behind them. He frowned when he didn't see anyone there.
"I could have sworn, someone was there," he said to himself quietly.
He then turned back around and ran with his friends, to get to a Pokémon Center.
...
They all ran down the harbor, looking for the way to the Center. As they ran, sparks continued to leap out of Pikachu's cheeks, but it didn't harm Ash. Due to him having on his rubber gloves.
"Hold on, Pikachu!" he said to his starter Pokémon. "We'll get you to a Pokémon Center as soon as we can!"
Pikachu moaned in Ash's arms, as they ran. Padfoot looked worried for his friend, and hope that the center's Nurse Joy will know what's wrong with his electric buddy.
Once they turned another corner, they spotted the Center. Wasting no time, the 4 of them ran right into the center, passing the automatic sliding glass doors.
Pokémon Speech, Activate:
In the sewer, Goro was holding his nose because of the stench. He watched as his master and Jessie were arguing with Meowth, in the suits he brought them. Goro himself didn't wear one, as Meowth pointed out that there was none that came in his seize.
He blinked when Meowth shocked Master and Jessie through their suits when they refused to get into the pipe, that would lead them to the Pokémon Center.
Once they were completely submerged under the dirty water, he turned to Meowth, who was safely inside a small control center.
"Here ya go, Goro!" Meowth presses a button, and a mask that fitted over the Machoke's nose and mouth, was released.
Goro caught it out of the air, put it on, and breathed in relief. He then looks down at the murky water, where the air hoses were supplying the two humans with air.
"You sure they'll be all right down there?" he looked at the feline sceptically.
"Yep, 100% sure. As long as that thing continues to pump those suits with air, they'll be fine," Meowth says, pointing to the air compressor, that was plugged up to an outlet in the wall.
Goro looked at it, and shrugged his shoulders.
"Fine. Well, time to get to it!" Goro said rather excitedly, flexing his biceps.
"To... get to what?" Meowth asked, then he sweat-dropped at seeing Goro was standing on his hands, legs up in the air.
"To my exercises of course. I lost to my rival, Padfoot. At our very first P-1 Grand Prix together," Goro was now smirking at the memory of being defeated by his shiny rival. "Now, I must train twice as hard to overcome him the next time we battle! Until then, I must now complete 1,000 push-ups, while standing on my hands!" Goro declared, and got started doing his work-out.
Meowth blinked at his teammate, then shrugged his shoulders and sighed in resignation. He just watched him go about his work-out. Not like he has anything better to do.
Pokémon Speech, Deactivate:
At the Pokémon Center, Ash was ringing the bell at the front counter impatiently.
[RING RING RING]
"Hey, nurse! [RING RING] Hey, nurse!" Ash yelled, as Padfoot also was losing his patience at no one answering.
Finally, Nurse Joy comes walking out of the back, yawning.
"Do you kids have any idea what time it is? Don't you know you should be sleeping now?" she asks sleepily, coming to a stop from behind the desk.
"I'm sorry, but there's something really wrong with my Pikachu," Ash says.
Padfoot nodded, just as Pikachu's cheeks began to spark again. Nurse Joy yawns again, then she notices the sparks.
"A Cold," she says nonchalantly.
This did not sit well with Ash or Padfoot. Misty and Brock, behind them, had stayed quiet through the whole deal.
Padfoot narrowed his eyes and growled at the nurse, while Ash angrily yells out, "Arrgh! This is no Cold! Your sisters and cousins were a lot more helpful!"
Nusre Joy looks at them, yawns again, then waves off their attitudes.
"There's no need to get excited," she says, then points to Pikachu's sparking cheeks. "Look. Sparks are coming from its cheeks, right? That's an early symptom of a Cold in electric rodent Pokémon."
They all looked at the sparks as Joy explains a Cold, then they looked back at her.
"If you leave it overnight, I'm sure it'll be fine by morning," she says, confidently.
Though Padfoot and his friends didn't looked, too convinced of this Nurse Joy's nonchalant attitude.
"Miss?" Padfoot spoke up.
"Huh? Who said that?" Joy looked at the kids, as none of their lips moved, and saw the masked jackal Pokémon raise his paw.
"I did. I have a question, if you don't mind?" he asked, frowning at her.
Nurse Joy blinked at the talking Pokémon then said, "Hmm, what is it?"
"Excuse me, but are you, by any chance, the oddball in your family?" he asked rather bluntly, foregoing any politeness.
Padfoot knew that Ash would have said something to him, but he figures that he's more worried about Pikachu as he was at the moment. So, Harry felt safe. For the moment, at least.
Nurse Joy then smiles brightly at the Pokémon's inquiry. "Oh, no! It's all my other relatives that are odd."
"Huh/Huh?" That got four responses from the kids and Padfoot.
Goro was just on his 387th push-up when he noticed the noisy compressor was not on anymore.
"Machoke? Ma, Choke, Machoke?" pointing to the air compressor, he asks: Meowth? Is that suppose to happen?
Meowth looked shocked at what had just happened. "Hey! What's goin' on?! Power supply just went dead! If the pump stops workin', there's no air," the feline sweat-drops. "They won't like that. Heh... heh..." he chuckles nervously.
"What do I do?" he starts repeating again and again.
Goro, pretty much got the gist of what was now a bad situation for Master and Jessie. So, he did the one thing he could do to save them. He grabbed both hoses, and gave a great big heave!
"Ma... Choke!"
"Huh?!" Meowth turns around in time to see what Goro was doing and saw two shapes come flying out of the sewer water.
At the center, all of the power was out, and the gang and Nurse Joy came through the doors. Into the back room, where all of the sick and injured Pokémon were kept.
"Oh..." Joy sounded in concern, carrying Pikachu in her arms, with Ash's rubber gloves.
"What happened to these Pokémon?!" Ash asks, looking around.
"They're in Intensive Care. If we don't get the power back soon- Well, I just don't want to think about what would happen!"
"Don't just stand there! We have to save them!" Ash says angrily.
"Joy, please do something!" Misty puts in.
"I don't know what to do," she says, looking defeated.
"Hey! Stop giving Joy a hard time," Brock told them, as they turned to him. "There's nothing she can do."
"Maybe so, Brock," everyone looked at the shiny Lucario. "But I refuse to believe that there isn't something that can be done about this. I say we go to see the Cop Lady of this city, and find out what can be done!"
Ash and Misty nodded.
"Right, Padfoot. Let's go." Ash says.
Joy gasps, and Pikachu, awake, starts to squirm in her arms. Reaching for Ash and Padfoot.
"Pika... Chu!" he called out to them.
They stopped at the door, and turned back to their sick friend.
"Pika, you stay here, okay. We'll be back, once we got the power back on," Padfoot said, then they took off again leaving the center.
Nurse Joy looked on with a worried look.
"Good luck... everybody."
Pikachu now looked even more sad at being left behind.
"Chu..."
They made it to the Police Station, but found out that Officer Jenny was unable to get in touch with the men at the Power Plant.
"I'm trying to find out, but there's answer at the Power Plant," Jenny says, hearing nothing on the phone.
"We don't have much time," Ash says.
Misty then asks, "What does the Power Plant look like?"
"You can't miss it. It's the big building with the smokestacks there." She points to the left.
They look and see the building.
"Then, that's where we're heading," Padfoot stated.
"All right, let's go," Ash says to the others, but then a bush behind them started rustling. "Huh?"
They all turned to see... Pikachu stepping out of the bushes. Still sick, if the sparks were anything to go by.
"Pi.. Ka... Chu."
"Pikachu!" Ash said, and the group ran over to the Mouse Pokémon. Pikachu looks up when they came to a stop in front of him. He cringed at the stern look Padfoot was giving him.
"Pika, what are your doing here? You're suppose to be back at the center resting and wating for us," Padfoot spoke with a firm voice in their minds.
Pikachu, ears down, shook his head no, pitifully. "Chuuu!"
"Really?" Padfoot blinks at what Pikachu said, then sighs. "Pika, we are coming back. You should know us by now. We're not leaving and never coming back. It's just like back in Celedon City. Ash and I came back like we said we would. This is the same thing," he tried to reason with his friend.
"Pika... Pi... Chu... Pi." was Pikachu's response, and it had Padfoot shoulders slump.
"Pikachu, does Ash and my word mean so little to you," he frowned when he asked that question, and Pikachu looked at him pleadingly.
Padfoot was about to say something else when he felt Ash's hand on his right shoulder. He looks back and sees Ash, Misty, and Brock smiling.
"It's okay bro," Ash says, then turns to Pikachu. "You can come along. But remember, you gotta take it easy."
Padfoot frowns, then sighs at Ash's answer. Pikachu looked so relieved at being able to come, that he jumped at them in delight.
"Pika! Chuuu!"
Only, Padfoot moved to the left at the last second, and Ash caught Pikachu in his arms. And getting thoroughly shocked by his electric rodent friend.
"WHAAAAA!" Ash screamed at being shocked.
The light show surprised Misty and Brock, while Padfoot just scratched the back of his head as Ash was being electrocuted by Pikachu.
"You invited him, you can get shocked by him, Bro," he said with half closed eyes, and paws on his hips.
While they continue to watch Ash's suffering, none of them were aware that they were being watched by a metalic-looking Pokémon.
In an alley, Jessie and James were panting. Gasping for air, as Meowth stood between them, and Goro stood behind Meowth, against the wall, with a hand on James' shoulder.
Meowth informed them that the city was was thrown into blackness, due to a power failure. When he and Goro spotted the twerps, Lucario, and Pikachu run by the alley, they became happy at getting another shot at catching those two prized Pokémon.
Once Jessie and James got their bearings, Meowth told them of his next plan.
Padfoot and his friends all stared at the Power Plant from the front entrance.
"There's the Power Plant," Ash says.
"Let's check inside," Misty suggests, and they all walked into the dark building.
Ash calls out, "Hello! Is anybody in here?" No one responded. The place was deserted. "If no one's here, we might as well have a look around, huh?"
"Pikachu," Pikachu said softly: I guess so.
"Something's really weird. Why isn't anybody working here?" Brock asked, uncomfortable with the lights being out.
Misty looked at a map on the wall, and pointed down the hall. "It looks like the Control Room's right down that way."
Ash then turned to his Pokémon brother. "Padfoot, try using your aura, to sense if there's anybody else here, other than us."
Harry nodded, "On it, Ash."
He closed his eyes, and raised his right paw, and pointed it down the hall. His 4 aura-sensing appendages rose up, and soon he was searching the halls for any human life.
The gang waited for him quietly. The occasional sparks, from Pikachu's cheeks, was the only noise heard. Padfoot's appendages were lowered, and he opened his eyes.
"I sense two human auras down that hall, and to the fourth left turn," he said.
Ash nodded and said, "Hmm, let's get go-"
"Pika!" Pikachu was shouting at them unexpectedly.
When they turned around, they say a dark figure floating behind Pikachu. And a blue glow was emitting from it.
Brock was up against the wall, with Misty hugging him. Ash and Padfoot were in their battle positions, in an instant. Ready to attack the creature that was so near their distressed teammate.
"What is that thing?" Ash asked with narrowed eyes, and Padfoot growling at it. "What are you?"
It came into the light, it is a seemingly robotic life form that has a gray, spherical metal body with horseshoe magnets on each side and a single, large eye. It has three Phillips head screws on its body: two near the bottom of its body, and the other on top of its head and looks similar to an antenna.
It floated along and spoke in a deep voice, "Magnemite."
Ash and Padfoot blinked in surprise at the Pokémon. "Magnemite?" he says, then starts the scan it.
Misty and Brock came over and looked over his shoulders at the info.
Ping. Magnemite, a Magnet Pokémon. Its means of floating through the air are not understood. This very mysterious Pokémon is of the Electric type.
"OK, what's a Pokémon like that doing here?" Ash asked, frowning at it.
"It caused the blackout," Misty accused, pointing to it. "Magnemite shut down the Power Plant."
Brock looks at Misty with a doubtful look. "This one by itself? No way!"
"I'm in agreement with Brock on this one Misty," Ash says.
"Well, Dexter did say it was mysterious," Misty reminded them.
"All right. I'll capture it, then we can check it out," Ash suggested, reaching for a Poké Ball.
"Wait a minute," Misty halts Ash, and points to the Magnemite floating around Pikachu, with its eye, half closed. "That Magnemite doesn't look like it wants to battle."
The all watched it, with confused looks, and frowns. Though, Padfoot had just facepalmed himself, at what he just discovered.
"What's with this thing? Why's it circling Pikachu?" Ash asked, frowning at this.
"This Magnemite seems to like, Pika, here," Padfoot told them, telepathically.
"Pika," Pikachu moaned, as more sparks danced along his cheeks.
At the sight of those sparks, Magnemite's eye turned red, a sign of it blushing. "Magnemite."
"This Magnemite is blushing like it's in love or something," Misty pointed this out.
"Love/Love!" both travelers from Pallet Town, squawked incredulously.
Brock then spoke up. "If it were an animal Pokémon, I could understand. But how can an inorganic Pokémon like Magnemite fall in love with an electric rodent?" he asks, watching Magnemite float after Pikachu, as Pikachu tried to walk away from it.
"OK, this is getting ridiculous," Padfoot growled. "Knock it off, Magnemite!" he shouted.
Magnemite broke off from its pursuit, then floated up to Padfoot. It looked him up and down. It could make out that this strange creature was part steel type like itself.
Strange. It has never seen one like this before.
When it looked down, it noticed Pikachu hiding behind the creature's right leg. What caught its attention the most though, was the fact that Pikachu was holding onto the creature, part steel type's hind leg.
Now it glared at the masked being.
"Magnemite, Magnemite!" it demanded angrily.
Padfoot blinked in confusion, then narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean that Pikachu is yours? Pikachu is a member of my team, you floating piece of scrap metal!" he growled at Magnemite.
The others all blinked at what was just said.
"Magnemite, Magnemite, Magnemite!"
"I don't care if he does have, so much electricity that you can't get enough of him. Pikachu's not interested in y-?" he stopped his comeback, stared off at the wall behind Magnemite, then facepalmed himself again. "It was so obvious," he sighed.
"What's obvious Padfoot?" Brock asked, Pikachu also looking up at his teammate.
"The reason Magnemite here likes Pikachu. Nurse Joy said that Pikachu has a Cold. He has too much electricity in him, right now. He's sparking electricity, and Magnemite is attracted to it."
Now, Pikachu and the three humans blinked in realization.
"So, Magnemite is attracted to all of that electricity Pikachu's body is giving out?" Misty asked.
Brock finishes. "It would seem that way."
"Exactly," Padfoot nods to them. "Now that, that's out of the way, Magnemite! Get lost already!" he yelled.
Magnemite glared at the other steel type, then it blinked and left the area.
"Guess Magnemite gave up," Ash said.
[SNIFF SNIFF]
"Mmm, do you smell that?" Brock asked, face grimaced at the bad smell.
"I do," Misty followed suit.
"So do I," Ash following his frineds looks.
"Arrgh, what a horrible smell," Padfoot comments.
[CLANG]
Behind them, the metal grate from the air vent fell to the ground. Causing them to turn around and see what looked like Pokémon landing on the floor.
This creature was a slimy, amorphous blob-like Pokémon, that looks like it was made of living purple sludge.
[SPLAT]
Two of them fell to the floor from the vent.
"Grimer." "Grimer." The two called out to them.
"It's those things," Brock said, holding his nose like the others were.
"They stink!" Misty says, covering her nose and mouth.
"What are they?" Ash then scans them.
Ping. Grimer, a Sludge Pokémon. Born from sludge, these Pokémon specialize in sludge attacks.
As Dexter spoke, more Grimer appeared from the open vent above them.
"Magnemite must have disappeared because of these things," Brock spoke.
"Is this what sludge smells like? It really stinks," Ash asks.
"Grimer!" All of the Grimer said at once.
While the humans argued in the back, Padfoot blinked in confusion. He felt a stronger aura coming from the Grimer, or at least in their direction.
"There's a Pokémon here with a stronger aura than the Grimer," he said, getting their attention.
The a larger Pokémon in the back of the Grimer appeared.
"MUK!" it bellowed.
"Oh! It's huge!" Ash squeaked, as he and his friends looked frightened.
"Grimer's Grandpa?" Misty asked, as Ash scans this new Pokémon.
Ping. Muk, Grimer's evolved form. Use extreme caution as its slimy form contains poison.
Padfoot starts taking steps back, while whining a bit at all of these sludge Pokémon looking ready to attack them. Ash nervously grimaces at their situation. As well as the others.
"Ugh!" Ash moaned.
"That's not good news," the older teen said, looking scared.
"No kidding," Padfoot says, then turns away from the Grimer and Muk, and looks at Ash.
They both nodded, then without warning, the former boy wizard spun around, and launched an Aura Sphere directly at Muk.
"Muk!" Muk cried out.
Muk was hit hard by the surprised attack. Grimer all turned to see if Muk was fine. When the smoke cleared, and Muk was slightly hurt, they turned to attack the Pokémon that dared to attack Muk.
Only to see that they were very far down the hallway. They blinked in surprise, then gave chase.
...
As the gang turned the corner, Ash managed to avoid running into one of the two workers. Instead of introducing themselves, they immediately ran for the Control Room. Once they made it inside, Brock and Padfoot leaned against the door, to try and keep it shut.
"Tell us waht's going on," Ash demanded from the two workers. "This blackout is a disaster for the city. Lots of Pokémon are going to die at the center if the power doesn't come back on soon. They need that power."
"But we can't. There are so many Grimer that they're clogging the seawater intake," said one of the workers.
"We've got to bring the water to a boil so it'll turn the turbines, or the generator won't work at all," the other worker said.
"So do something!" Ash yelled, with clenched fists.
"I'm afraid that easy to say. We've been trying to-"
"Ash!"
Brock's yell interrupts then man. They turn to then door, and see Padfoot and Brock trying to keep it from being pushed open.
"The Grimer are... ramming the door! We- We can't hold it with just the two of us!" Brock said, straining along with Padfoot to keep the door from opening.
"It feels like... each Grimer is... tackling the door... one at a time. I don't think this... door can take... any more attacks!" Padfoot telepathically spoke, and soon he and Brock were joined by Ash and Misty.
All four grunted, at the continued attacks the Grimer were making on the door.
"I hate to say it, but if we don't act fast, we'll be on the Muk Menu," Misty yelled over the attacks.
"But what can we do?" Ash asks, straining as the attacks were now becoming faster and harder.
"Uhh! Uhh! Aah!" All four were thrown backwards into the room, as the Grimer now entered the Control Room.
"Grimer!" All of the Grimer were saying.
"You three are Pokémon trainers, aren't your? You've got to use your Pokémon to help us out," Worker1 said to them.
"He's right," Worker2 says. "If you can get rid of the Grimer, the generator will work."
Ash nodded, and stepped forward, with Padfoot in front of him. facing off against the Grimer.
"There's so many of them, I'm not sure I'll be able to handle them all," Padfoot said, looking at all of the Grimer. "But, I'm not willing to give up either!" he stated boldly.
Which caused Ash to grin in determination. "All right, that's what I want to hear. So, Padfoot, Use Psychic!"
"You got it, Ash!" he says, as his 4 appendages rose up, he raised both paws up, and his eyes glowed purple. His paws and appendages were outlined in purple psychic energy.
With a growl, he sent waves of psychic energy at the first wave of Grimer. They all froze up, from the attack, then fell to the ground.
Fainted.
Pikachu then stepped forward.
"Pikachu... I know I'm asking a lot from you as well, but we need your help," he gritted his teeth in having Pikachu help out while he was sick. He received a nod from the electric rodent. "Uhh... give 'em your Thunder Shock."
"Kachu!"
Thunder Shock hit one of the Grimer. It screamed in pain before it fainted. It was soon blocked by more of its kind.
Then they were hit with Psychic and they fainted. Padfoot was beginning to tire. He looked around, with glowing eyes, and found that the situation they were in wasn't improving.
He gritted his teeth.
"It's no good! There's too many of them," Ash says.
Soon Muk appeared, and Padfoot snarled at the giant sludge's appearance. Then the vent from above popped open, and Magnemite came out. And it was being followed by more of its evolutionary line.
What had followed it was what appeared to be a bunch of three Magnemite linked together.
"What are they?" Ash asked, as they moved between the Grimer and the humans.
"Magnemite and their evolved form Magneton. Their friends of the other Magnemite," Brock smiled at all of them.
The Magneton all charged up their electrical attacks, then fired their electricity at all of the Grimer. The Grimer all screamed at being shocked so much in such little time.
Then the Grimer all started retreating from the room. The Magneton followed, and blasted the Grimer from the seawater intake valve. Freeing the water, and allowing it to flow into the Power Plant.
Which got the turbines running again, and the generator up and running. Supplying power back to the city, and ending the blackout.
The kids cheered at being able to see again, and the two workers were back at the controls.
"The lights are on!" Ash exclaims.
"The turbines are moving again," Worker2 said.
"The Grimer have all cleared away from the seawater intake valve," Worker1 replied.
Misty then noticed that Muk was still there in the room with them.
"Muk!" it bellowed at them.
Padfoot used Psychic to hold Muk in place.
"Pikachu, Thunder Shock." Ash commanded.
"Kachu!"
The sickly Pikachu, fires off another Thunder Shock at Muk. Even though Padfoot was holding it in place, Thunder Shock didn't look as though it was doing anything to it.
"Oh, man, that's some pretty strong sludge," Ash commented.
While Pikachu was still blasting away, the Magnemite from earlier came over and helped Pikachu out. By attacking Muk with its own electircity. Pikachu and Magnemite put everything into it, until Ash decided to try something else.
"Padfoot, drop Psychic, and use Copycat on Pikachu!"
Padfoot nodded in acknowledgement. He stops using Psychic to hold Muk. He turns his head to look at Pikachu, then his body glows yellow. In his mind's eye, he sees how Pikachu used the attack, then he crosses his arms and concentrates.
The three kids humans all had looks of astonishment when they saw yellow electricity arcing around Padfoot's body. With a loud growl, he fired Thunder Shock at Muk.
With all three electric attacks, raining down on Muk, it couldn't take it anymore, and fainted. The attacks stop, and Muk was unconscious.
Ash turns his hat backwards, and then throws an empty Poké Ball at Muk.
"All right. Poké Ball, go!"
Everybody waits in anticipation as the ball continues to shake. While its was shaking, Padfoot made a quick glance at Pikachu, and smiled when he saw his little buddy was all better.
The ball finally clicks, signaling the capture was complete. Ash walks over, picks up the ball and does a pose, with the ball in his outstretched right hand.
"I did it! I captured a Muk! Ash Ketchum saves the day once again!" He boasts, but then stops and looks behind him to see Padfoot and the others holding their noses, and standing away from him. "What's wrong?"
"Eew..." "Eew..." "Eew..." was Padfoot, Misty, and Brock's reactions.
It was morning, and outside stood everyone... a good distance away from Ash and the Poké Ball. Even Ash was holding his nose.
Padfoot, Pikachu, and Magnemite were the only ones standing near Ash. Padfoot was holding his nose with his paws, and using Psychic to hold up Ash's Pokédex. They were waiting for the signal to make the all clear sound, so that he can send the Pokémon back to Prof. Oak's lab.
"The smell comes through the Poké Ball," Ash whines, while holding his nose.
Everybody laughs, then hears the (ding) sound from the Pokédex.
"Finally," Ash says, then uses his hand that was holding his nose, presses the button, and the ball vanishes in white light. "Phew," he sighs in relief.
"That was the bad news, but the good news is Pikachu's 100% better," Misty says, while still holding her nose, like everybody else.
"That's right. Pikachu was sick until just a little while ago," Brock realizes.
"Ah, if an electric mouse builds up too much electricity, its body becomes magnetized," Worker2 said.
"And it seems like it has a Cold," Worker1 finishes.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu says happily.
Ash then looks at Magnemite. "Well, we all sure owe a big thank-you to Magnemite here, don't we?"
Magnemite then floats down to Pikachu.
"Pikachu," Pikachu was just thanking the electric/steel type, when it started to float away from him. This confused Pikachu.
"Well, it would seem that it's no longer interested in you, Pika," Harry smiled at Magnemite's change in attitude.
This caused the three humans to be confused, until the workers theorized that because Pikachu is no longer magnetized, Magnemite no longer shows any interest.
"It's a good thing, huh, Pikachu? It won't follow you around anymore," Ash said, and received a happy "Chu!" form his Mouse Pokémon. Then he turned to Padfoot. "So, are you going to thank it now?"
"Huh?" Harry blinked at the question, then felt Magnemite float up to eye level behind him. He sweat-dropped then.
"Magnemite did help us out back there, you know," Ash smiled at Padfoot.
"Technically, it was the Magneton that helped us out back there with the Grimer," he said sweating, knowing that excuse wasn't going to hold up.
"But it was Magnemite that brought the Magneton to help us," Misty now smiling at Padfoot's look of discomfort.
"Let's not for get, that it was Magnemite that also helped Pikachu and you, Padfoot, defeat Muk back there," a smiling Brock finishes.
Their explanations left Padfoot with a sweat-drop and a face like -_-.
He sighs through his nose, then glances at the floating steel type. He subtly used aura to gauge its emotions, and growled lowly. Despite Magnemite not having a face, it sure felt pretty smug, and was waiting for Padfoot to thank it.
Ooh, Padfoot just wanted to hit the floating piece of scrap and send it to the scrap heap, but he couldn't. So, he swallowed, and turned to give Magnemite a sideways look.
"Grr, thanks for the help, grr," he growled out his thanks and quickly turned away. He also stopped trying to feel its emotions, when it was starting to feel really smug towards him.
"Magnemite."
It chortled in delight, at Padfoot's humiliation.
"Grr, better be careful or you'll rust," Harry retorted quietly, and telepathically to Magnemite only.
This caused Magnemite to stop and glare at Padfoot angrily for even insinuating that it would ever RUST!
Ash looked over and noticed that Magnemite was happy one second, then glaring at Padfoot. Ash rolled his eyes.
"Pad, what did you say to Magnemite?" he asked, with a knowing sound in his voice.
Padfoot just shrugged his shoulders, and had his eyes closed. "I didn't say anything that wasn't true. It's not my fault this floating tin ball can't keep up its own shine."
Now Magnemite looked furious, as puff of steam was coming off of it. All Ash could do was sigh at his brothers antics at making Magnemite angry.
Pallet Town
Meanwhile, at the Oak Laboratory, Prof. Oak was at the transporter machine. Watching to see what new Pokémon Ash was sending him.
"Ha ha ha! It's been quite a while since Ash sent me a new Pokémon. I wonder what he's captured this time?" he says.
No sooner as he said that, the newly arrived Poké Ball popped open to to reveal the new Pokémon, and the smell it brought with it.
"Ugh! What is that smell?" the Prof. held his nose.
The Pokémon that materialized in the lab was a Muk.
"Mu-Mu-Mu-Muk." it bellowed, and Oak, sweated at the sight of it.
"Euhhh. What's the idea of sending a Muk? Yecch!"
"Muk!"
Team Rocket, a distance away, tried to use their new high-powered electromagnet to capture both Pikachu, because they believed him still, to be magnetized, and Lucario, because he is part steel type.
In their Gyarados Submarine, Machoke took up the seat behind James, and Meowth was perched on his shoulder. The magnet was attached to the top of the sub, as they rose to the surface.
When activated, it attracted all of the Magneton, and sanked the Team Rocket sub back into the seawater.
The gang were outside at the Pokémon Center, and were about to say good bye to Nurse, Joy, Officer Jenny, and the recovered Pokémon.
"All those Grimer here just prove that the ocean's totally polluted. You guys gotta clean up the sea around here. I know you can do it," Misty said to them.
"You're right, Misty. We'll do everything we can to make sure that the ocean is really clean again," Officer Jenny said.
"If you clean up the air and the water, you may just bring this place back to life," Brock added to the talk.
Nurse Joy then stepped forward. "Thanks Ash. Padfoot. You both worked so hard to make sure all these Pokémon survived. You two have inspired me to become a better nurse," she says sencerely.
"We salute you fine work," Jenny stated, saluting the trainer and Pokémon.
Ash, Padfoot, and their friends chuckled nervously, as Ash tried to wave them off.
"Oh, please, ladies, that's very nice of you. Anyway, try to make your city clean," he says.
"We will, and please come back and visit us," Nurse Joy says, then waves goodbye to them.
As they leave Gringy City with big smiles, Padfoot hopes that the next place they go to will be cleaner and greener than this city was.
To Be Continued. . .
Who's that Pokémon?:
This Pokémon lives in mountainous forests, sleeping in treetops and gathering food throughout the day. It has such a keen sense of smell that it can even find food that has been buried. It is highly protective of its young, and has been shown to become more aggressive during mating season. This Pokémon is also called the ? Pokémon.
The answer was Ursaring, The Hibernator Pokémon.
Congradulations to these readers: ShadowOkamiYokai, Bast Misao, Phoenix Paladin, Nayeri, and ultima-owner for answering both parts! :)
Congrats to these readers: DarkUmbreon15 for answering the first part. ;)
Congrats to Phoenix Paladin, Nayeri, 253910, and ultima-owner for bringing in all of the Pokémon Harry/Padfoot is afraid of.
Around of applause for, 253910, for answering what Harry feared the most in his old world and that would be Dementors! And any soul/stealing creature in this world, is what Padfoot is fearful of.
*note: this is a fear the shiny Riolu had, before Harry had entered the picture. So they both shared a common fear.
And a big round of applause to Phoenix Paladin, for the final pick of the Pokémon that Harry is scared of.
Author Phoenix Paladin PM me 2 days ago with the final Pokémon.
So, here they are, the 7 Pokémon that steal away souls, or so they say.
7 Pokémon Harry/Padfoot is afraid of:
Sableye
Shedinja
Dusknoir
Litwick
Lampert
Chandelure
Honedge
*note: I have researched these types before I even put them out there for you readers to find, and I am also at somewhat of a lost, like Phoenix Paladin, when concerning Honedge's evolution line. Whether the last to forms of Honedge take soul/life energy or not, it's not been stated or mentioned at all.
There you go the dear readers, I hoped you liked it, and reviews are welcomed.
Until next time.
TTFN,
Ta Ta For Now!
