29. Chapter 29: He'll be coming down

Chapter 29: He'll be coming down the Mountain

It was time to go down Mt Chimney to Lavaridge Town. After all, how else was I supposed to get there?

The path down the mountain is called Jagged Pass. It is fully deserving of that name because it was not easy to trek. It was also not easy by the fact that I had no Revives left so I couldn't bring back half the Pokémon that fainted against Maxie yesterday. The only Pokémon I had was Nuzleaf, Seviper and Mightyena.

All this time though I had realised I hadn't mentioned the genders of my Pokémon. Mightyena and Nuzleaf; both girls. Marshtomp, Dustox, Seviper and Swellow are all boys.

Anyway, I encountered a Hiker named Eric partway down who offered to battle me. I said yes, hoping that it would be easy.

"Go Baltoy!" Eric yelled, summoning a gold Pokémon which seemed to balance like a spinning top.

Baltoy

131

Ground/Psychic Type

Clay Doll Pokémon

1'08" (0.5 m)

47.4 lbs (21.5 kg)

Baltoys moves while spinning around on its one foot. Primitive wall painting depicting this Pokémon living among people were discovered in some ancient ruins.

Mightyena, who didn't battle Maxie at all, was sent out. Mightyena used Bite on Baltoy. It was almost knocked out. "Baltoy, Rock Tomb!" Baltoy summoned multiple rocks which caved into Mightyena. Mightyena's speed was lowered. That didn't stop it though. Mightyena used Bite on Baltoy, knocking it out and finishing the battle.

"Good match!" Eric told me recalling Baltoy. I sat down, exhausted.

"You seem tired" he told me. I spoke to Eric about Maxie. "Gosh. That was a risky thing you did, but I'm glad you're safe." Eric scratched his chin. "How about you catch another Pokemon?" That wasn't a bad plan. I looked around and saw a grey Pokémon's bouncing on its one leg, which was also a spring. It had a big pink pearl on its head.

Spoink

110

Psychic Type

Bounce Pokémon

2'04" (0.7 m)

67.5 lbs (30.6 kg)

Spoink bounces around on its tail. The shock of its bouncing makes its heart pump. As a result, this Pokémon cannot afford to stop bouncing – if it stops, its heart will stop.

Spoink noticed me and bounced off. At least, it tried to. It tripped over and lay there as its pearl rolled away. Panicking, we picked it up and placed the pearl back on its head. It then bounced off again.

"Maybe that one is not it" Eric said. At that point, I saw a more familiar Pokemon. It was a Machop! "Go get it!" Eric shouted.

I sent out Seviper. Machop grabbed onto Seviper, threw it up very high and then it hit the ground, doing 20hp of damage to it. "Seismic Toss!" Eric told me. "It does damage equivalent to the level of the Pokemon it used on". Seviper came back with Poison Tail. Machop was almost down. Machop came back with Karate Chop, which wasn't very effective. This was it. I threw a Great Ball.

One shake.

Two shakes.

Three shakes.

I caught it!

"Congrats!" said Eric as we continued down the mountain.

The two of us got to Lavaridge. "Good luck" Eric said as he went off.

Later that night, I had a talk with Dustox. Dustox was the first Pokeémon I caught, and I had to break it to it that I wanted to continue with Machop as the Pokémon were getting too strong for Dustox. We shared a cheery hug as I returned it to its Pokeball and put it in the PC for Machop.

Tomorrow would be the next Gym match.
