Book 3: Colosseum Chapter
Round 38: Vs. Robo-Groudon
"He's late... again" Crystal sighed, staring at her watch. She and Emerald were waiting at their meeting point waiting for a certain someone to hurry up and get here.
"Dunno, probably trying out Orre's food. I don't know how Orre even gets food, since it's like completely desert" Emerald said.
"Did someone say dessert?" rang a voice from the sky. Suddenly, a figure dropped down right in front of Crystal and Emerald, scaring them half to death. He leaned against a pool cue and patted his Mantine.
"I could use some ice cream. It's so hot here!" Gold complained.
"Well, most of it is a desert" Crystal said, taking out a guidebook. Gold grabbed the guide book out of her hands and examined it.
"So... where are we?" he scratched his head in confusion.
"You're reading it upside down idiot!" Crystal said. Emerald then snatched the book off Gold and took a look. "We need to head exactly west along this desert until we get to a rainforest kind of place with lots of trees" he said.
"And that's where this Professor Krane guy is" Gold finished.
"We should fly, it'll be faster that way" Crystal said.
"Well Tibo's exhausted, but I got Togebo so it's fine" Gold said.
"I got Mantine" Emerald said.
"And I got Xatee. Let's do it" Crystal nodded. They all took out their Pokemon and flew off in the direction of the Pokemon HQ Lab.
...
In under 3 hours they had reached the Pokemon HQ Lab (no thanks to Gold). As they walked up to the door, Crystal was telling Emerald and Gold about Orre, but Gold wasn't really listening.
"...and it's capital city is Phenac City, so if the crime syndicate Professor Oak was talking about hit Phenac, then that would be a disaster" Crystal said, mostly to Emerald, who was taking in all the information. Gold however, had just noticed two figures walking up the road.
"Hey Crys, if you know so much about Orre and it's inhabitants, then who're they" Gold asked, pointing to the two approaching figures.
"That's..." Crystal started.
"Burglars!" the short man with blue hair and red glasses cried out. "Trying to infiltrate Lab! Chobin must protect Dr Kaminko and the Pokemon Lab!"
"Wait, you've got it all wrong!" Crystal, Emerald and Gold all cried. But Chobin didn't listen. He set a machine on the ground and pressed a button on it. Instantly, it transformed into a quarter sized robotic Groudon.
"What is that?" Gold wondered, scratching his head.
"Go Robo-Groudon! Beat up burglars!" Chobin shouted.
"Time out!" Gold yelled, before being knocked on the head by the Robotic Groudon.
"Ow, ow ow!"
"What is going on Dr Kaminko?" a voice asked, from the now open front door. The voice belonged Professor Krane who looked like he'd just woken up from an afternoon nap.
"Professor Krane! Hello there friend! My assistant Chobin is just dealing with some burglars" Kaminko explained.
"Burglars?" Gold cried out in confusion, before receiving another wack.
"I don't believe these are burglars Dr, these are the 3 trainers Professor Oak of Kanto sent over to talk to me" Krane said.
"Oh. My apologies. Chobin, let's deliver the machine parts and be on our way" Kaminko instructed. Chobin handed the parts to Krane, then turned to Gold, Crystal and Emerald.
"Chobin sorry. Chobin hopes you aren't too mad" Chobin bowed, before walking off to catch up to Kaminko. After a few moments of silence, Emerald spoke up.
"What...was that?" he wondered. Crystal turned to Professor Krane and bowed.
"It's good to meet you Professor. My name is Crystal, I'm Professor Oak's assistant. This is Emerald, the tenth Pokedex Owner and part of the Hoenn trio, and this is Gold, and he's-" Crystal stopped talking at that and turned red.
"Are you okay Crystal?" Krane asked.
"Y-yes I'm fine" Crystal coughed. "And this is Gold," she continued. "Part of the Johto Pokedex Owner trio. We were sent by Professor Oak to talk to you about emerging crime syndicates all over the world, and especially Orre. A few weeks ago, there was sighting of a dark Lugia over the seas connecting Orre to Kanto, and at the sighting, the S.S Libra disappeared. Nobody knows who is responsible, but rumour has it that a team of evil people are turning Pokemon into something called Shadow Pokemon. At least, that's what Professor Oak has gathered" There was a moment of silence while Krane thought about that information. Then he spoke up.
"Most of that is true. From what the Orre Pokedex Owners have gathered, a team by the name Cipher are going around turning Pokemon into Shadow Pokemon. One of the Orre Dex Owners are here, so I'll let you three in and you can speak to her over a cup of tea" Professor Krane said, letting Crystal, Emerald and Gold in.
I hope Crystal, Gold and Emerald weren't too OOC where they? It would be nice if you could tell me what I'm doing wrong by reviewing. Thanks. Hopefully I'll get more rounds out faster, but not looking likely, cause lately I'm getting a lot of homework.
