Chapter 29: Buizel's plan and Dewott's revenge

" for human talk

As the said Buizel has arrived at the lake where he is most familiar with as he has already either brainwashed most of the pokemon in the area or convinced a few to go with his plans to get back at Ash and co.

'You know the plan once the twerps is off guard you will strike them with your spores' Buizel said to a bunch of brainwashed Foongus's who where usually peaceful. 'Yes master Buizel we will not fail' they all bowed to him. 'Good you'll be rewarded once the plan goes through now to cover the other part of the plan just incase they try to reverse the effects'. As he dove into the lake a lake he's been to countless times there were water types there that either despised humans or have been abandoned by them most of them is under Buizel's control aside one in particular a Palpitoad who isn't aware of all this Buizel knew him from before 'So let me get this straight Buizel you say there's abusive trainer's coming this way?' Palpitoad questioned Buizel 'Why should I believe you Buizel isn't known well in these parts of Unova and I've heard that you've been doing shady work behind my back' He continued on. 'Look I know a bad trainer when I see one and one of them is more personal to me than you think Palpitoad remember you owe me one for saving you years ago time to pay up.' He said in a slight kind tone but he was forcing it to keep his facade. 'Fine but this is your only warning Buizel if I fined out you're doing anything suspicious I won't hesitate to fight you where you stand.' Palpitoad warned him which Buizel responded 'Not to worry my friend you'll see soon enough they should be here by the morning three of them in fact though one boy who has a hat on he's the one you should be more worried about the other two are gym leaders from the region he's from and one of them from what i've heard specialized in water types.' that raised an eye on palpitoad as the pond is full of those who refuses to be captured as the Buizel sped off before he could say anything 'Buizel you better not be lying to me you've changed the last time we saw each other.' As buizel was not far from him behind a rock as the pokemon swam away 'Stupid tadpool if you weren't an old friend I'd brainwash you in a heartbeat but if all else fail's I have the pond under Team rocket's commands and he doesn't even realize it Ash you'll pay for taking him years ago and now I'll make sure everyone you know on your team suffers from that' As Buizel's eyes had a dark glow to it as if more of his mind was manipulated to his anger to Ash.

We join our hero's as they arrived at a massive lake on their way to Nimbasa city for some training and personal time off. But the main focus was to train Dewott on getting over his fear.

"Wow look at this place it's a massive lake" Ash said "So this'll be a good spot to rest up before we head off" Misty said "I'll set up camp and get luch ready" Brock said. As Misty noticed that Ash was in a deep thought "Thinking what Emolga said about Buizel too huh Ash?" She asked. As Ash nodded " Yeah he's a water type Emolga mentioned he has ties all over the Unova region so we'll have to be careful even while near a lake like this I have to use this place to train Dewott and help him out." Ash stated as Misty looked down and understand "Hopefully this is the one place he didn't get to as Emolga is still recovering from all that". As both nodded to that statement little did they know it but the said sea weasel is watching them from a far. 'Perfect the Twerps came here right on time as I planned time to get rid of the pokemon of theirs with my little minion's Foongus'. As the group comes near him 'Yes master Buizel sir!' they said 'You will attack their pokemon make sure its a strong dosage but only the pokemon I want to make sure that the humans will have to act I have a friend down there who is wanting to meet them for his own eyes' Buizel snapped his paw as the group went to Ash and Co.

As the group let out their pokemon as the land pokemon were either playing or relaxing as Misty's water types aside from her ducklett were either swimming or like the other's relaxing though seadra and Golduck was definitely felt like something was wrong with the area they're in. As the Buizel nearby had to admit he was impressed with the pokemon that was there he'd knew that the water types won't be affected but with half the team out should be easier for his plan to work. "Alright Dewott I'd think we'd should help you with that fear of yours" Ash said to Dewott as he looked down embarassed 'I'll try to get over it but it's not easy I'd got some training back at the lab even my siblings helped though most of them are now with trainers and I have none to train me so I gave up on it' as most of Misty's pokemon heard this but they understand and wouldn't press it since even Golduck had trouble swimming in his Psyduck days. Ash asksed "So what happened that caused it Dewott?'. As he looked up and said 'Well I wasn't born a swimmer like most oshawott and my line is at this stage I'd try to be a show off and tried to do so but I nearly drowned it got me to the point that I'd never could see myself of what is in most water's or be like my siblings. Pignite and Snivy always been there to help me be confident. I've learned how to swim but never gotten to see underwater I found out that my eyes wasn't adjusted to underwater even now' Ash nodded in understanding "Well its never too late to learn or get the chance too cause who know's when you'd need to use it. I'll help you Dewott" Dewott nodded as Ash went in with his bathing suit on, this made Buizel growled in anger 'Great one of his mon's is out of sight of the group oh well this won't help his other pokemon and hearing that starter having trouble with being in the water sight wise seem's like Emolga held that info from us that's fine I'll use it to my advantage if needed' he snickered 'Such a whoose that he needs help to learn something that easily' as he snickered.

As the Foungus was pretending not to move as the group was playing which the group being Pikachu, Snivy, Emolga, the twins Scraggy and Axew, Blitzle, Pignite, Dweeble, Litwik, the siblings Ducky and Ducklett. As the grass types moved forward as Emolga noticed 'Oh no EVERYONE MOVE NOW' As she said as it was too late as a massive stun spore hits the team not just that poison powder as well Emolga barely got out of there but the other's wasn't so lucky. As she fires a multiple shots of hidden power which so happens to be ice type of it as that got the group leaving. As Buizel saw this and smirked 'Well Emolga you may have seen that coming but don't expect any help from the pokemon of the lake the Foungus will be rewarded with being Team rocket's pokemon' he the pokemon were making sounds that caught Ash and Dewott's attention. As both of them got out of the lake and ran to everyone "Hey what happened is everyone okay?" as he managed to get to the group as Brock managed to heal the poison he had enough antidotes but nothing to heal the paralysis "Just managed to heal the poison but they're hit with a massive stun spore" 'It was no accident it was Buizel's doing' Emolga was leaning on the rock nearby as Ash caught this "Wait that Buizel you mentioned from before? He's here!". Emolga nodded 'I mentioned that he has ties in many water areas I thought this pound looks familiar he told me that he used to train here along with his brother he was originally from here surprisingly from what he told me those pokemon that attacked is a poison/grass type known as Foongus they're very known here in Unova similar to the pokemon you call voltorb and electrode in your region there's a reason why I learned a ice type hidden power just in case the day I leave Team Rocket that I might be targeted'. As the group was surprised by this "I know that it'll be a risk but this lake has the cure to save them" Brock said "You mean the sadaoe weed how many do you need Brock?" Ash asked "About 5 at most they can heal at least 2 pokemon but this group is massive and we don't know what is down there but I know there should be enough" Brock answered. As Ash and dewott looked down "I'll go and get them" Ash said 'I'll go too I can't let this go unnoticed' Dewott said 'I'll go too' Emolga said as Misty interjects "Sorry Emolga you'll be in more danger if you went with Ash I'll go cause I can alway use my team if need to help" Misty said as Emolga's ears lowered but nodded 'Okay I'll stay but if trouble happens I'll step in'. Ash and Misty nodded.

As this caught Buizel's attention 'Perfect they've tooken the bait now to trick that fool Palpitoad' As he swam into the pond where he is as he told a massive lie saying that two trainers he mentioned is there to capture the pokemon of the lake. Curious 'Are you sure that's their intention Buizel I thought I've heard that pokemon were attacked recently but not ordered' Buizel used that and manipulated the truth 'Yes a pair of Foongus's were attacked by one of the trainers pokemon ordered to do so they scattered once one of them that' As this was almost enough to convinced him but he was skeptical about it but he noticed two humans and a Dewott were swimming this way as Buizel said 'See told you but I'd doubt they're here to help their pokemon after all one of them isn't even effected' As he left as that kinda got the water type ticked off not cause he left but because of seeing this.

Ash still noticing that Dewott was barely keeping his eyes opened "Dewott you're almost getting there but you need to keep them open as we need your help the most in this situation" Dewott nodded 'I'll try Ash but its still hard to do...no I need to do this for everyone' as the Palpitoad didn't hear all of this but noticed that something was definitely up but didn't questioned what his friend had said as he fired a mud shot at the group. As Ash noticed " MOVE NOW" As the mud shot barely missed them entirely Ash had to move Dewott as his tail got mud on it 'GAH that hurt' He said as he managed to wag it off as they noticed that it was a pokemon that attacked them as Ash looked it up and learned it was a water ground type named Palpitoad as Ash was surprised and got the impression that he must be one of Buizel's brainwashed minion's and it was as if the group had a massive misunderstanding but they'd didn't realize it yet. "Hey we're not here to fight you" As the palpitoad sent a hydro pump at Ash almost hitting him "Woah he must be with Buizel" the Palpitoad noticed but must've gottent the impression that they're after him not aware of the actual truth. As Buizel noticed and smirked 'Now to give him help to make them more guilty' As he used a massive dark water pulse on the school of nearby tempole's and a few stunfisk's brainwashing them 'Go and help Palpitoad these trainer's are here to capture him' Buizel said as they had the dark look on their faces and went to them .

As Ash and Misty was planning on ignoring the Palpitoad but noticed many Pokemon water and electric attacks heading their way as they got out of their. 'Huh? What's going on?' Palpitoad noticed and there was most of his fellow water types and an old friend of his stunfisk though he didn't noticed something was off with them. As Misty sent out seadra and Gryados to help to scare them but not fight but they're not amused. As the stunfisk launched a mud bomb at Dewott and Discharge at Misty's pokemon which they managed to either dodged or fought back this is what Buizel wanted. As Dewott realized that if he doesn't do something the team won't get help. As he struggled to get his eyes openned but thinking back to his friends incouragement back at the lab in a flashback.

Flashback:

As many of the other pokemon that were either starters or wild pokemon were mocking him 'Haha some water type no wonder no trainer wants you if you couldn't even see in the water' one starter said 'I bet his egg was damamged before he hatched' another pokemon said. 'STOP IT YOUR WRONG' Oshawott said in tears as they were mocking him. As an energy ball and ember was sent to the mocker's way it was snivy and tepig the only friends he had back then. 'Hey that's enough you'll' Snivy said 'Yeah what your doing is making you worse than the bad trainers'. As that caught them off guard 'You got a problem with us you two this isn't involving you two' one said as snivy hissed at them 'Yes you mess with him you answered to me' 'And me too' tepig said as the group left not bothering him again after that not even an apology.

'Thanks you guys I wished that they'd just understand that it's not a birth defect or anything I just have a bad experience when i was born' Oshawott said looking down with a tear in his eye as Snivy used her vine to wipe it 'Hey hey we know that your older sister told us about all of that if she was still hear she'd set them straight but we're here for you' Snivy said 'We'd never think that about you and you've almost gotten a trainer last time Oshawott' Tepig said trying to be nice though he'd knew that it wouldn't help his sight in water. 'Thanks Tepig no that's not the reason for my fear its just I'd felt comfortable when my sister was here but now I don't know what to do now' Oshawott said. Snivy giving a I guess gestered 'Look we'll be there for you as supportive as we can' 'Yeah we've known each other since we were a few months old no matter what we'll always look out for each other' Tepig said that made Oshawott smiled even Snivy who rarely did made a giggle this was new to them. 'Huh? Did I say something funny Snivy' she shook her head 'No its just you guys were my friends my only one's I've ever known and I agree lets make a pack to always to be there for each other' she said helding her hand out 'Deal?' Snivy asked as Tepig held his hoof 'Deal' as Oshawott held his paw out 'Yeah deal'

End flashback

'No I made a deal to be there for them'. He said to himself as thoughts of them still struggling and thinking the worse that he wasn't there for them before joining Ash and now he can't just let his fear get to him 'Now it's my turn to help them out like they did for me' As his eyes managed to open up he was getting the courage as this caught Buizel off guard and Ash and co. noticed as Dewott managed to open them fully and fired back with not a water gun but a hydro pump blasting half the backup out of the water or scare them away as the Palpitoad used it's tongue and sent Dewott out of the water as Ash and Misty followed him.

'Not bad kid but you'll never get me nor these pokemon' Palpitoad said which surprised Dewott as he was about to say something but Ash interrupted "Capture no what are you talking about we're here to find some Sadao weed's to help our pokemon who are attacked". As this surprised Palpitoad 'But I've heard you ordered that hit on some pokemon' As this caught them off guard and suddenly it dawned on Palpitoad just from the expressions that he was lied to "What whoever told you that is lying the pokemon were all either playing or resting heck two of them are just younglings we'd never try to put them in danger like that" Misty said Ash nodded in agreement that last part wasn't brought to Palpitoad's attention 'So you aren't after all of us pokemon?' he said Ash and Misty nodded. Just as Ash was about to ask who told him that a massive hydro pump was sent right at the group. 'You're too soft I'd figured that you'd be easily swayed old fool' As a aqua jet lunged out of the water and landed near the group it was Buizel "Buizel I'd figured you orcustrated this" Ash said 'So the rumors are true about you Buizel you've turned evil' Palpitoad said. 'Well you're not as old as I'd thought you were Palpitoad shame that you were my friend or Team Rocket would love you as a pokemon for our collection that is'. 'You Ash I have a grudge against never had I'd thought I'd cross paths with you one day' Buizel growled paws clenched with a dark spark to them. "What's your problem with me I've never even met you before?" As he fired a water pulse at Ash which Dewott deflected with his scalchop 'You got a problem with Ash you'll have to deal with me.' Dewott said as the Buizle snickered and laughed evilly 'You dealing with me that's a joke just like you thinking that you're planning on saving your friends Mr. scaredy cat of water' Dewott growled at him 'So you've heard the entire thing huh well newsflash that part of me is gone.'

As the two were ready to battle but again it was interrupted by Buizel's communicator telling him to leave now 'Ugh fine I'd love to fight but I'd gotta turn tail.' As he turned to Ash 'But give my brother my regards Ash after all you took him from me' he said as he used his tail to lauched a waterfall attack as he disapeared leaving them all stunned "B...Brother?" Ash said but Misty interrupted him "Think about that later Ash we'd better get the Sadao weed now" As palpitoad interrupted 'I'll show you where it is its the least I can do for you after what happened today' the group nodded and head there luckily there was enough for the entire group as Ash, Misty and Dewott grabbed the amount that Brock said.

As they arrived back to the camp where Emolga and Brock was still trying to calm down the paralyisis as much as they can. "Hey we're back with it" Ash said "Good I'll start on working on a cure for this". As Brock did so Ash and Misty tend to the group trying to make sure that it doesn't get worse it seems like Snivy and Pignite gotten the worse of it than the other's hence why Brock asked for 5 of them. "Done this should help them" As each one of them had administered the dosage via drinking it though Snivy and Pignite had a stronger dosage. As it seemed to work which made not only the group happy but Dewott as well 'We promised that we'd help each other out I'm glad to return the favor' Dewott said to Snivy and Pignite as they smiled as they recovered.

As everyone was now fully recovered Dewott told Snivy and Pignite that he managed to get over his fear after fearing losing them or worse. 'That's great Dewott' Snivy smiled 'Well it seems like we'd kept our promise I'd wished that it wasn't like that though' Pignite said 'Normally I'd wack you Pignite for saying that but I'd admit that you're right we owe you one Dewott' Snivy said 'He's stronger than you think' as a voice comes out of nowhere it was Palpitoad 'Palpitoad what are you doing here? I'd thought that Buizel gotten to you or something' Dewott said 'Now now is that the thing to say for praising you Dewott' Dewott's head sunk 'No...sorry for that' Dewott apologized to him. 'Its okay I guess we both were mislead by him I'm just glad that everyone is okay'. As Ash noticed and overheard "Palpitoad what are you doing here anyway I'd thought you left or stayed in the pond after all that?" Ash asked 'I'd came to see how everyone is doing word about what happened well most of it spread to me earlier but not all the detail's trainer's aren't normally welcomed by the pokemon in this lake' Palpitoad said not trying to be mean or condensending "Huh? Why is that? Is it cause most of them had trouble with one's in the past judging the way you were acting as well as the other pokemon down there" Ash asked Palpitoad nodded 'On the mark there Ash and before you asked I figured that was your name cause Buizel mentioned it' Palpitoad continued 'Most of them were with really bad teams under bad trainers who either abused them abandoned them or just thought that they weren't worth it or taken them from their families' Palpitoad stated. "I understand but I had no plans on capturing anyone here." Ash said as Palpitoad listened "To me my pokemon are my family they mean more to me I'll do anything to make sure that they're safe no matter what it takes" Palpitoad was surprised by this and smiled and thought for a second and looked up to Ash 'Can I join your team I'm not in the same boat as the other pokemon here most of them are gone now and I want to get back at Buizel so please can I join?' As that question caught Ash off guard "Okay I'll let you join but cause I am at max team right now you'll be at the lab in Kanto don't worry you won't be there doing nothing my pokemon agreed to train any new pokemon joining the team that is sent there and they all get along well I have some water types that you might like" Palpitoad smiled as he knew who was there as well and nodded 'As long as I get some battles in Ash I'm fine with it so you got a deal' he said Ash nodded and pulled out a pokeball and caught him. He was caught without hassle as his ball was sent to professor oaks lab instantly.

Though Ash was happy one thing was still on his mind what that Buizel said as Misty caught Brock up to speed of what Buizel said to Ash. "I think I might know what he was saying Ash" Brock said as Ash was curious "Huh what is it Brock?" He asked "I think that Buizel has to be related to the same Buizel you have you know the one Dawn traded to you back in Shinnoh" Ash was surprised by this "But it was Dawn who caught him first and joined me afterwards" "I know that Ash I was there" Brock said 'Team Rocket must've fed him more false information' Emolga stated 'Remember they're brainwashing and manipulating pokemon who knows what lies they fed to his mind he's been at Giovanni's side almost 3 years before his brother joined your team Ash' Emolga said this was hard to believe but cause of this that Buizel is now having a massive grudge against Ash and Ash knew that he has to set things straight by breaking their grip on him.

With everyone healed our gang is now getting prepared for more problems to come down the road what does Team rocket have in store for them.

Meanwhile with Buizel arriving at the base

'WHY'D YOU INTERRUPTED ME I'D WAS GOING TO PUT THEM IN THEIR PLACE YOU IMBUSOLES' Buizel yelled as he was mad. "I asked them to return you pet." It was Giovanni who was now on screen 'Oh master Giovanni sorry I' Giovanni interrupted "At ease Buizel your job isn't to fight them your job is to make them suffer and catch pokemon which you while they survived you did your job right so I'll forgive you for that outburst especially with the lake pokemon now under our control" Buizel bowed 'I left one out cause of my past I'm sorry master' Giovanni shook his head "No I'll allow it this time but you need another boast to your anger Buizel the other pokemon will take over for now right now you need to rest and let that anger cloud more of your mind" As Buizle was taken a back by this but nodded 'Y-Yes sir' Buizel said "Right now the one of many big events is happening soon and as much as I want you all to ruin it is part of a contract many of us gym leaders even villianous leaders agree not to mess with once the recent one is over will be when you and our new project will strike" As he and Buizel grinned

Stay tuned

And done wow that chapter was longer than I'd thought. Someone asked that if the Buizel was Ash's in a review yes guys I do read them. And I said no but suggested if he wanted me to make the two Buizel's related to each other which he was fine with. That said another chapter is done. Now to the Roggonrolla episode is next and another pokemon of their's will be involved in this one. See you guys next time.
