Pokemon The Journey RS

by Penguinja

Brendan Seaview finds himself whisked of to the Hoenn region, known for it's vast nature, after his Dad Norman becomes a Gym Leader. Whilst not too keen on the move, he finds that there is a lot to like about this new world. However, the world's ecosystem is under threat, and Hoenn looks to be the centre of this disaster. Can Brendan and his new friends save the world?

Chapter 32: Hoenn roads, take me home

"Home!" May shouted as we hopped out the Professor's car to be greeted by the familiar Littleroot Town air. "I believe you have a lot to tell Mum" Professor Birch told me. "Why don't you go and see her? I'll chat later, I have a guest at lab."

I knocked on the door of a home I lived in, but still hadn't acquainted myself with. The door slowly opened. "Brendan?" she asked. "YOU'RE HOME!" She hugged me so hard it was like she was using Bind. "Tell me every step of what has happened so far."

I spent the afternoon telling Mum all about what happened on my journey. "So. What's your team like?" It was important know that I had switched out Seviper for Swellow so that my egg could continue to hatch. I sent everyone out. "Oh my, Mudkip evolved!" she yelled. "Have you been taking care of my boy?" Marshtomp nodded in response. "That's good."

As I walked out, I saw Wally. "Brendan! Nice to see you!" he said. He barely made it to me running before the coughing forced him to stop. "Sorry" he said. "I heard that you and May were coming here so I wanted to meet you to battle my new Pokémon. One on one if we may" he said. That didn't sound like a bad idea.

"Okay!" Wally said. "Let's battle! Go Delcatty!" Out came a quadruped purple and cream Pokémon.

Delcatty

062

Normal Type

Prim Pokémon

3'07" (1.1 m)

71.9 lbs (32.6 kg)

Delcatty prefers to live an unfettered existence in which it can do as it pleases at its own pace. Because this Pokémon eats and sleeps whenever it decides, its daily routines are completely random.

I used Machop for its type advantage and because I wanted to try out its new move. "Delcatty, Fake Out!" Wally shouted. Delcatty clapped in front of Machop, forcing it to flinch. That didn't matter too much though. "Delcatty, DoubleSlap!" Delcatty came up to Machop and slapped it multiple times. Machop used its new move; Revenge. Remember that it just got hit, it punched Delcatty very hard. This did so much to Delcatty, it was almost knocked out. "Try this then!" Wally said. "Delcatty, Assist!" Delcatty suddenly used Psychic. "Allow me to explain" Wally said. "Assist uses a move that one of my Pokemon uses. In this case, its using Kirlia's Psychic!" However, it only did neutral damage. "What?!" Wally shouted. Machop finished off Delcatty with Seismic Toss. It lifted Delcatty into the air and slammed it down. Machop had won!

"Wait, what?!" Wally shouted again. "But Psychic should do a lot of damage to a Fighting Type!"

"Allow me to explain". We turned around to see a Trainer with spiky orange hair, black shirt and purple trousers. "That can't be!" Wally yelled. It was.

It was Blue Oak, former rival of the great trainer Red Beauregard.

"Why are you here?" Wally asked. "Just some errands in Hoenn. Needed to drop something off" he said. "Anyway. I will explain why Psychic didn't do Super Effective damage to Machoke." I stopped him. Didn't he mean Machop? "No, I mean Machoke. Look at it."

To my surprise, Machop was starting to evolve! As blue stated, it was a Machoke now!

Machoke

074

Fighting Type

Superpower Pokémon

4'11" (1.5 m)

155.4 lbs (70.5 kg)

Machoke's thoroughly toned muscles possess the hardness of steel. This Pokémon has so much strength, it can easily hold aloft a sumo wrestler on just one finger.

Machop -Lv 28 Machoke

"Anyway" said Blue. "Your Delcatty has the Ability Normalize. It turns any and all damaging moves into Normal Type." Wally gasped. "But what if I come across a Ghost Type?" he asked. "Then you will have to use a different Pokémon" Blue said. "It's a terrible Ability unfortunately".

Blue took us both back to the Lab. "Back I see" said Professor Birch. "Professor Birch, have you met these two young Trainers?" Blue asked. "Met them?!" Birch said. "Why I gave Brendan his first Pokémon".

To be fair it was a longer story than that, but we don't have all day.

"My daughter is also his best friend" Birch said. "That's great to hear" Blue responded. "Also" said Wally. "Brendan is the son of the Gym Leader is Petalburg City, which is only a few towns over. I'm not quite ready to take it on yet, but that's Brendan's next stop."

Blue was impressed with me. "Okay" Blue said. "Brendan. If its fine with you, I would like to watch the match between you and your father." That sounded good.

Tomorrow would be that day I thought, as the egg slightly moved in my bag.
