Well, you've certainly waited long enough for this chapter. Here's why it's been so long since you've seen any ounce of this story: Like I said last chapter, I started working on this one right away, but soon the power on the computer died out. I tried to plug in the AC Adapter but for some reason it wasn't working. I managed to get my hands on my sister's AC adapter and I could turn the computer on for just enough time that I could save this chapter as a document. Then, all of a sudden, the computer wouldn't take that AC Adapter either. So I called a repair shop, but I was moving to California in 2 days and they needed a week to fix the computer. So I had to wait until I moved to California. Then…When the computer was finally fixed… My desktop just flipped out and only recently have I managed to reclaim it. (Turns out I just needed to log off and back on again…) Anyway, without further ado… We Begin Hank Coro's Sevii Islands side adventure.
Island 1:The Tribal Training
"So this is Treasure Beach…" I said as Lyra, Bill, and I hopped off our boat and onto the island. "It's beautiful!" (For those of you who have never found treasure beach in your fire red/leaf green game, I'm not going to tell you where it is. It's mine. But no seriously, it's just south of One island, and it's a good place to find Tangelas besides…you know where. Also as the name suggests, it has a shit ton of hidden items, so clearing out the beach was hard work for Lyra and I).
*Once done cleaning.*
"This is great guys!" Bill said. Unfortunately I have to go help my bud, Celio, with some PC problems he's been having. I hope your comfortable with the pokemon in your party because the PC systems wont be back up for a while." Bill laughed but Lyra and I looked at each other with rather grim expressions. If our pokemon were too weak for the Sevii Islands, we were screwed.
"Umm… What do we do now?" Lyra asked Bill as he walked away.
"I left a list of supplies for the party on that giant rock behind you." Bill called without looking back. "I suggest you split the work evenly."
I looked behind us and saw the list Bill had mentioned. "This is a weird list." I said, looking at the supplies. "I mean, volcanic rocks? Moon Stones? Iapa- Ipapapapa- Ipayiapa- ?"
"It's pronounced Iapapa" Lyra said, saving me from my inability to read confusing words.
"Iapapa Berry?"
"I'd worry more about the volcanic rocks and the moon and fire stones."
"And why the heck does he want all these Magikarp?" I asked. "Great Blue told me that they aren't nutritious at all."
"Hey, Hank, look at this last one." Lyra pointed to the last thing Bill had on his list. "Eternal fire?"
"How the heck does he expect me to get those things?" I wondered.
"What do you mean you?" Lyra inquired. "It's not like I can't handle a scavenger hunt."
"Lyra, there's a shitload of wild pokemon out there! It's not safe!…I'll find the items."
"No!" Lyra shouted back. "Hank, you haven't trained in forever! You could easily get your pokemon killed! If you think I shouldn't go… Then that goes double for you!"
"Sorry to put an end to this lovers' quarrel, but I kind of need to talk to you." I head a voice say from behind me. I recognized it easily and I sent out my Pokemon so we could all here whatever bad news Mew had to tell us.
"Make this quick." I said.
"Hank." Lyra put her hand on my shoulder. She was clearly confused by Mew's sudden presence. "What's wrong?"
"A gigantic eruption of the deadly Mt. Ember, meant specifically to destroy the inhabitants of One Island is wrong." Mew said. "By now you shouldn't need many details."
I nodded to show that I understood. I turned to Lyra. "I have to go. Round up everyone and make sure that they can escape the island in case anything goes wrong."
She looked like she might cry, but she didn't. Instead, she also nodded, and ran off. I turned back to Mew, and hopped on Great Blue as we surfed north toward Mt. Ember.
"So…What exactly is the deal with Mt. Ember?" I asked.
"Moltres is planning to make it erupt." Mew put bluntly. "He's not there yet, but when he lands of it's summit…You have to be there."
"Piece of cake." I said with a grin, realizing 3 of my 6 pokemon were water types.
"Although, it's nice that you're confident…You're still wrong." Mew said. "You have to train if you're going to bead Moltres. His moves are the strongest of his counterparts."
"So what do I do?"
"You go there!" Mew pointed to a shallow cave. You talk to the elder inside, and he will give you access to Mt. Ember's Summit, provided you pass his trial…"
…
"This is stupid." Braveheart said as we entered the cave. "We all know that we're all going up against moltres next chapter so why are we talking so freaking long to get to him?"
His question was answered when we saw what was inside: A giant hot spring. "Arceus be praised…" Comet said in awe as she dove right into the hot spring. "Oh…man that feels nice. C'mon in everyone!"
While my pokemon bathed in the hot spring, I scoped out an old man atop a small rock, we talked yadda yadda, I got that move no one ever wants: Rock Smash.
"So what's this about a trial?" I asked.
"Simple." The man said. "See that Machop?" I looked over to higher up on Mt. Ember where a Machop was training.
"Yeah."
"You need to defeat it."
"What?"
"Defeat it. Get it out of here. Catch it if you have to. He's been making so much ruckus training that I fear this spring cave might just collapse."
"Consider it done."
*Cena the Machop was caught. And sent to the Box, and now I can't get him because there is no PC connection yet.*
I was about to relax in the hot spring myself, until I heard I giant rumble. I grabbed a rock (For Bill's party) and ran outside with my pokemon. The sky was now red.
"People of One Island!" I heard a voice say overhead, and I saw Moltres flying up above me, headed toward the volcano. My pokemon and I ran up. We needed to defeat him.
"I am Moltres!" He continued. "Mewtwo's top commander! You who have opposed him all these years will now feel the pain your ancestors back in Cinnabar felt 15 years ago!"
When we finally reached the volcano, I only had Comet still out. I decided if things went wrong this time, I would just run, and not use my other pokemon. "Moltres!" I yelled. "Why are you doing this?"
"Oh, Hank Coro, I've heard so much about you!" He chirped. "It's such a pleasure to be able to personally destroy you as opposed to my two counterparts. And since you're here I might as well show you this!" He walked away and then I saw a large machine where he was standing. Tied in a net hanging from that machine was a charizard, clearly female because of the smaller spikes on her head, but as I looked at her, I could only think of one word to say.
"Fireball."
