Ash and Davis earned themselves the Volcano Badge. They're all set to head to Viridian City for their final gym badge, but there's a bit of a delay.
"According to this sign, the boats heading to the mainland aren't going to leave for a while." Kari said.
"I was all set to head for Viridian City and get that final badge." Ash said. "So what are we going to do until our boat is ready to go?" All of them tried to think of something they could do to pass the time and Davis was able to think of something.
"Beach fun!" Davis declared.
It's about you
It's about me
It's about hope
It's about dreams
It's about friends that work together to claim their destiny
It's about reaching for the sky (Pokemon)
Having the courage and willing to try
It's about never giving up
So hold your head up
And we will carry on (Kanto League Victors)
Pokemon!
(Davis' voice) Double Fun Beach
"Beach!" Davis cried out as he took a surf board to the water. Since the boats wouldn't be leaving for a while, they decided to have some fun at the beach with all their pokemon. Davis started to ride the waves with Hitmonlee joining the fun. "Hang ten, Hitmonlee."
"Hitmonlee!"
"Hawlucha!" Hawlucha was surfing as well as he held out his signature pose on the edge.
"Kowabunga Hawlucha." Davis said. Ash went out into the water with some of the pokemon and was splashing around.
"Better watch out." Ash said.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu tagged team against Vaporeon and Seadra and had them going. That was until Druddigon came to the rescue and splashed Ash and Pikachu. Talonflame, Pidgeot, and Skarmory took to the air with Angewomon and Tyrantrum relaxing in the sun.
"Here we go." Kari said as she had the others and passed a beach ball around. Charmander hit it to Vulpix, who hit it to Noivern, who tried to pass it to Imperialdramon, but put in a little too much weight behind it.
"I got it! I got it!" Imperialdramon said as he tried to catch it, but he wasn't watching where he was going. A slightly older girl with lavender hair that stopped by her shoulders in a purple swimsuit was doing some sunbathing on a lounge chair. She heard something and saw Imperialdramon was running away. "Got it!" He said as he caught it and slid some sand on her.
"Hey!" She complained as she spat some out. "You could have ruined my hair."
"Sorry." Imperialdramon said.
"Next time, watch where you're going instead of being a reckless oaf."
"I said I was sorry. Someone seems to have an attitude problem." Imperialdramon said as Davis came back on shore.
"Imperialdramon, what's wrong?" Davis said.
"Is this thing yours? I was doing some relaxing and he kicked sand all over me."
"I didn't. It was an accident." Imperialdramon said. "I already said I was sorry. She's the one who is making a big deal about it."
"Yeah well keep your pokemon under control."
"Hey, he said he apologized. Who are you anyway?" Davis said.
"The name's Daisy, hon."
"Davis is there a problem?" Ash asked as he and Kari ran up to him.
"Yeah. A girl that has an attitude." Davis said.
"Careful. You're talking to a future pokemon superstar." Daisy said.
"Superstar?" Davis mocked in a questioning tone.
"That's right. My pokemon and I are going to win the Kanto League." Daisy said.
"So you're entering in it too." Davis said. "So am I. I just earned my seventh badge here on Cinnabar Island."
"You JUST earned your seventh? I already have all eight badges." Daisy gloated.
"Wow! She already has eight." Kari said.
"Are you trying to say that you're strong than me?" Davis said. "Care to put that to the test?"
"Are you challenging me? Sure." Daisy said. "Perhaps beating you will teach you to show some respect and teach your pokemon some manners. I know the perfect place." Once they got all their stuff and changed, Daisy took them to a cove for the battle. Daisy was changed into jeans with a white tank top and a green Gatsby hat. She had a pink belt with heeled shoes. "Is right here fine?"
"Sure." Davis said.
"How about we have a double battle because I have the ultimate battle team?" Daisy asked.
"That's just fine with me." Davis said.
"Then, here are my pokemon. Bellossom and Lumineon." Daisy said.
"Bellossom!"
"Lu!"
"Bellossom and Lumineon?" Davis said. "The field is half land and half water and she's using it. I'll do the same. Hitmonlee and Seadra, let's go!"
"Hitmonlee!"
"Do!"
"Get her, Davis. Beat her." Imperialdramon cheered.
"Let's have some fun." Daisy said. "Ladies first. Lumineon use Captivate." Lumineon leaped out of the water and shot out hearts that fluttered around both of them and both of them blushed and glowed blue for a few seconds. "That will lower your attack power. Bellossom use Sludge Bomb."
"Both of you dodge." Davis said. Both of them moved out of the way and avoided the attack. "Seadra use Bubble Beam." Seadra came up and shot out the bubbles, but they all went to Lumineon and Lumineon absorbed all of them. "What?"
"Strom dragin, Lumineon's ability. All water attacks go to her and deal no damage." Daisy said.
"I bet Bellossom isn't so fortunate. Hitmonlee use Mega Kick." Davis said and Hitmonlee ran right at it.
"Bellossom use Protect and Lumineon use Surf." Daisy said. Bellossom put itself in a barrier and blocked the attack. Lumineon caused a wave to form and she rode on it with hitting both Hitmonlee and Seadra.
"Bellossom wasn't affected at all." Kari said.
"Surf must hit everything, but Protect kept Bellossom from getting damaged." Angewomon said.
"Hang in there you two." Davis encouraged.
"Lumineon use Psybeam on Hitmonlee and Bellossom use Energy Ball on Seadra." Daisy said.
"You both got to dodge them." Davis said. Lumineon fired the beam from her eyes and Bellossom launched the green orb, but both of them were able to avoid the attack. "Seadra use Twister." Twister emerged from the water and shot the twister out that both of them got caught in. "Hitmonlee use Double Kick and Seadra use Flash Cannon on Lumineon." Hitmonlee jumped up and kicked Bellossom twice. Seadra shot out the shining blast and hit Lumineon.
"You'll have to do better than that." Daisy said. "Bellossom use Protect and Lumineon use Surf."
"The same combination?" Ash said. Bellossom formed the barrier and Lumineon formed the wave again as she rode it and hit both of them.
"Ready to give it up?" Daisy asked.
"Not a chance." Davis said.
"Lumineon use Psybeam and Bellossom use Sludge Bomb." Daisy said. Both of her pokemon attacked and hit both of them. "Protect and Surf one more time." Bellossom was protected as the wave washed over it and hit Hitmonlee and Seadra again.
"Are you two alright?" Davis said and the both of them were able to get back up. "Now I see why she thinks those two make a great team. With Bellosom using Protect, Lumineon is free to attack everyone on the field. A perfect combination, but there must be a flaw." He tried to think of something until he thought of it. 'Wait a minute. Before the combo, Bellossom and Lumineon use a different attack. Perhaps Bellossom can't use Protect twice in a row and she won't use Surf until Bellossom does.' He theorized.
"Let's end this with Energy Ball and Psybeam." Daisy said as both of them used their attacks.
"Seadra use Water Pulse on the water." Davis said. Seadra aimed his attack and blasted the water and used it as a shield to block both of the attacks. "Hitmonlee, give a kick for each of them with Double Kick." Hitmonlee moved in and kicked Bellossom. He jumped over and kicked Lumineon.
"Time to put an end to this. Lumineon use Surf and Bellossom use Protect." Daisy said.
"Now's our chance. Seadra, dive in the water. Hitmonlee, get close to Bellossom before it's too late." Davis said. Hitmonlee jumped over to Bellossom and was able to get in the barrier with Seadra diving down and avoiding Surf.
"What?!" Daisy said as she and her pokemon were surprised their best combo failed.
"Seadra use Twister on Lumineon and Hitmonlee use High Jump Kick on Bellossom." Davis said. Hitmonlee gave a powerful kick on Bellossom and sent it flying. Seadra emerged and shot out the twister and hit Lumineon in the air. Those two attacks knocked them out.
"No! Lumineon! Bellossom!" Daisy said. "Oh well. I know when to admit defeat. That was actually a nice battle. That last move was certainly a surprise."
"Thanks, but I will admit that your Lumineon and Bellossom do make a great team." Davis said. It would seem like both of them would end this on good teams, but something emerged out of the water and it was a giant Magikarp. Three plastic orbs connected to arms and trapped Bellossom, Lumineon, and Pikachu.
"What's going on?" Daisy said as the Magikarp's top fin opened up.
"Prepare for trouble. We're the ultimate team."
"We're straight forward like a beam."
"To protect the world from devastation."
"To unite all people within our nation."
"To denounce the evils of truth and love."
"To extend our reach to the stars above."
"Jessie"
"James"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light."
"Surrender now or prepare for a fight."
"That's right!"
"Wobbuffet!"
"I thought we were through with you guys." Davis said.
"Who are they?" Daisy asked.
"Bad guys that steal pokemon." Davis said.
"How lame, but let go of those three. Give me back Lumineon and Bellossom." Daisy said.
"Not a chance." James said.
"Since you twerps ruined our plans here, we're making it an even trade and taking your pokemon." Meowth said.
"Besides, pokemon as beautiful as Lumineon and Bellossom deserve to be with someone equally beautiful and that's me." Jessie said.
"Pikachu use Thunderbolt." Ash said. Pikachu tried to blast his way out, but not even a crack in the glass formed.
"Don't you know we're electric proof?" Meowth said.
"I think we'll quit while we're ahead and leave." James said.
"No you don't." Imperialdramon said as he grabbed the arms.
"Hitmonlee use Mega Kick and break them out of there." Davis said.
"Hitmonlee!" Hitmonlee jumped up and smashed the glass cases and got them free.
"Imperialdramon, get rid of those guys with Dragon Rush." Davis said.
"Here we go again." Imperialdramon said as he powered up the attack and flew right at them with Team Rocket starting to panic. Imperialdramon rammed into their sub and sent them flying.
"They ruin everything for us. Why can't we ruing anything for them?" Jessie said.
"Is this someone's idea of a sick joke?" James said.
"If it is, it's really worn out like we are." Meowth said.
"We're blasting off again!"
"Lumineon, Bellossom, you two aren't hurt are you?" Daisy asked as the two of them went over.
"Lu!"
"Bellossom!"
"Daisy, are they both okay?" Davis asked.
"It would appear so. Thanks a lot for saving them for them." Daisy said.
"No problem. We've dealt with those losers before." Davis said. That was when they heard the boats getting ready to leave. "Uh oh. It sounds like we've got a ride to catch." All of them headed to the docks with Davis and the others getting ready to leave.
"So long, Daisy." Kari said.
"You guys take care." Daisy said as she waved off. "Get that eighth badge so we can battle again." She winked at the boys as a way of saying good luck.
"Will do." Ash said.
"See you later." Davis said as the boat took off and they were heading out.
Another rival has joined in and that means another reason for our heroes to get stronger. As they say goodbye for now to Daisy, our heroes now head out to Viridian City so that eighth badge will be won.
