Chapter 57: Training Part 1
Once Alice has showed everyone about Pollusion, which was her friend back in the forest in Kalos, Eve wants to write a report about it, and Alice agrees to let her do it. Then they keep training their Pokemon.
And then they go to the Jewel Mine as they meet Rocco there. "This is the Jewel Mine, huh? I wonder if the Mythical Pokemon Gemmany is here..." Then he notices Ash and Alice. "Oh, hey guys, are you here to see Gemmany as well?"
"What is Gemmany?" Alice asks.
"You haven't heard of Gemmany? It's a Mythical Pokemon that apparently lives in the jewel mine, it's said that it can create precious jewels out of ordinary rocks."
"Wow, that's so cool, I am hopping to get a glimpse of it." Ash says. "Hey, what if we have Diancie to help us find him?"
"Oh? The other jewel making Pokemon Diancie? That will be great." Rocco says.
Once they get inside the mines, they can't see anything. "Oh wow, it's really dark in there. I hope you have a flashlight or something." Then Diancie uses the jewel on its head to make a light.
"Never mind, I wonder where it'll be in there...If we travel together, we can keep each other safe!" Rocco says.
"Yeah." Ash says as they move forward, but then they see three bandits that are talking to one another.
"Aww maaan... Boss, this place is like a maze, it's impossible!" One minion says.
"It's here somewhere! Just look at all the jewels on the wall! That Pokemon is definitely here!" The boss says.
"My feet hurt..." The second one says. "Do you know how many times I've tripped over?"
"Shut it, keep moving, it's here, I know it!" Then they leave, and Rocco says, "I wonder who those guys were...They talked about Jewels so they might be looking for Gemmany too...We should keep an eye on them..."
"Yeah." Ash says as they follow them, but once they stop again, they are listening to their words once more.
"You think we're close?" "Gotta be, boss, have you figured out how you're gonna catch it?" "Of course I have you clod! I have a Master Ball, once I've caught it, I'll make it create many valuable jewels that I'll sell, I'll be rich! We will be rich!"
Ash, Alice and Rocco feel disgust at those three who are using Pokemon to their profit. Rocco yells, "You can't do this!"
As the three people see Ash, Alice and Rocco, the boss says, "And who are you?"
"Hey, I recognize those people! That guy is the Elite 4 member while the other two are the ones who stopped those Team Solar and Team Lunar."
"I don't care who you are, get outta here!" The boss demands. "We won't let you catch Gemmany and use it like that!" Alice says. "Ha! You won't let me? You can't stop me! You two, get those guys outta here, I am going to find Gemmany."
"Ash, chase that guy and leave the two to us!" Alice says as he nods, then he goes chase the leader. And as Ash finds the boss, he has already find the Gemmany.
"Now the fortune is mine!" Then the Gemmany wakes up and sees that the man is taking out a Master Ball, Ash yells, "Run, Gemmany! That man is going to capture you and force you to make jewels for him!"
But it is too late, the boss has thrown the Master Ball, but Gemmany's eyes glow as the Master Ball disappear. "Huh?" The boss is shocked. Then the Gemmany also teleport the man away. As Alice and Rocco are battling the minions, they are also gone in their sight.
Alice says, "What just happened?" "I have no idea." Rocco says.
Gemmany then goes towards Ash, sensing Dinacie inside him. Ash then takes it out and the two become friends. Alice and Rocco also come and Alice says, "That's Gemmany?"
"Yeah, it teleports those guys away." Ash says. "So we don't need to worry about them anymore."
"Haha! Well I guess that's one way of getting them to leave!" Rocco says. Then much to their shock, Gemmany then takes the Master Ball the burglars used and gives it to Ash, and he also goes inside it.
"What? That was the Master Ball that the burglar drops..." Alice says. "And it goes inside?"
"Yeah." Ash says. "I guess it is mine now."
Gemmany: The Gemstone Pokemon: Rock and Fairy Type. Gemmany collects any gems it sees. However, tales have it that it would still generously give out jewels to those who asked.
"Wow, I can't believe Gemmany chose you to be its trainer, that's so cool! I can see why you are the prince, even Mythical Pokemon want to travel with you! Well, the events here were intense, I need a break! Let's get out of here!"
Ash and Alice then ask Gemmany to teleport them outside, and they did it. "That was fun, I am glad we stopped those guys from catching and using Gemmany like that!" Alice says.
"Yeah, I am really hope that I can face you in the League after you win, you really are a combination of Red and Delia." Rocco says as they bid farewell to him.
With the training, Ash's Cryscoon also evolves into a beautiful Crystiwing, and it also gains the heart of Alice's Crys, much to their happiness.
Crystiwing: The Clear Wing Pokemon: Bug and Ice Type. Evolved from Cryscoon at LV:54. Crystiwing's wings, though fragile, are extraordinarily sharp, to the point where it can cleave a glacier into half. Such is why no bird Pokémon dare to prey on it.
"Wow, you look really powerful with those wings." Ash says. "No wonder that Crys loves you." This causes both butterflies to blush.
And the next evolution they have is the Banshreek, but much to their horror is that after evolving, it's shout makes them cover their ears.
Banscream: The Banshee Pokemon: Ghost Type. Evolved from Banshreek at LV:48. Banscream's cry can get so piercingly loud, it can shatter rocks. They say seeing one up close can drive a person insane.
"Maybe I should ask Gina for some ear plugs, since it sure is driving me insane." Ash says.
"Same here." Alice sighs.
They then go back to Silverport Town since they try to fish out some rare Pokemon. And they find a steel type Pokemon that looks beautiful in their eyes.
Hamawl: The Hammerhead Pokemon: Steel and Water Type. Hamawl smash rocks on the seabed open to find preys living within. Their eyelids are coated in steel to protect them from impact when Hamawl are hammering rocks.
But it makes a mess in the Sevestar Island, but they don't give up and then it evolves into a stronger Pokemon.
Silvicious: The Hammerhead Pokemon: Steel and Water Type. Evolved from Hamawl at LV:40. Silvicious often spend time by their lonesome when swimming. When one encounters another Silvicious, they compete in fights of brute strength.
Molice also evolves after battling in the Jewel Mine, it looks stronger when it uses Drill Run.
Tundrill: The Mole Pokemon: Steel and Ice Type. Evolved from Tundrill by learning Drill Run. Tundrill can dig through entire mountains with their powerful drills. Miners use them to find treasures in icy caves.
Alice also uses her Tun to make more crystals for the gym to use, and it is really much more effective for her.
Then Delia's Alolan traveling companion, Fayette will also come to teach some of the dance moves for Ash and Alice, much to the latter's happiness. And then their Pokemon also try to learn and one of the Pokemon evolve after dancing.
Tikitoko: The Tiki Pokemon: Fire and Grass Type. Evolved from Tikitik at LV:50. Tikitoko construct their own masks from the trees of the jungle. Excavated masks built by ancient Tikitoko are noted to hold DNAs from Pokémon of the past.
Fayette also teaches Serena and the other girls about dancing as well so that they can be better with the Contests and Showcases in the future.
While they go to the Fishing Contest again thanks to Wade, Ash manages to win again using the new Pokemon he caught, an Eelect, and this time he has to face the charge that the Eelect shoots at him.
Eelect: The Eel Pokemon: Water and Electric Type. Eelect are patient hunters, waiting in the crevices of their lair and scouting for the best target. They use their tails to zap and subdue their prey.
And then in the Rainbow Reef, they also encounter a Pokemon known as Sealug, which catches their attention under water and Ash captures it.
Sealug: The Glow Spot Pokemon: Water Type. Sticky slime covers Sealug's whole body. It sheds the coat of slime on it every once a while to remove the dirt and wastes on itself.
As they take it back to Sevestar, they train him and it evolves into a sticky Pokemon that makes a lot of mess in the island.
Nembroslug: The Glow Spot Pokemon: Water and Poison Type. Evolved from Sealug at LV:50. The green spots on Nembroslug's body marks where it stores gooey slime. They are able to entangle foes simply by bumping into them.
And much to Ash's surprise, it has the same attitude as Monstune, who likes to cover its body on him as hug. Ash has to take a shower every time after it does that.
After training with Groillum, it learns Leaf Darts and it is also the cause of its evolution.
Kongrilla: The Gorilla Pokemon: Grass and Fighting Type. Evolved from Groillum by learning Leaf Darts. Kongrilla are incredibly territorial Pokémon. They often fight against clans of other Kongrilla just to ensure their territories weren't intruded on.
And they go to Battle Bridge as Ash finds a tree like Pokemon that tries to fool him, but Ash still captures the Pokemon.
Palmo: The Palmtree Pokemon: Grass Type. Palmo is encased in a hard shell, making its leaves the only approachable target on its body. Many weaker Pokémon take shelter under it for safety.
By teaching how to throw Coconuts as the attack, it also evolves really quick and it becomes stronger.
Cocorocko: The Palmtree Pokemon: Grass and Rock Type. Evolved from Palmo at LV:38. The coconuts grown from Cocorocko are as hard as rocks, making them effective as thrown weapons. Recently, people have took them up for bowling as well.
The training is still not done yet, but it will be in the next chapter when Ash catches the rest of the Pokemon. I hope you like it.
