Time for the Eds first time in the Wild area, and not thier last, not much else to say hope you enjoy!
An hour later Double D was walking into the shaded area, enjoying the serenity of it, he found a nice big rock to sit on.
"A good place to take notes I suppose…" Edd said walking into the shaded area, unlike his friends the sock headed boy had no interest in the Championship, he preferred traveling with his companions and doing research.
As he took notes about the Bunnelby and Metapod wandering around, a small pokemon was eating a berry that fell from a tree and after avoiding the Skowvet that tried to take it, they were enjoying their lunch.
Finishing the berry they used their psychic powers to throw the remains behind them, unfortunately the remains hit Double D in the back of his head causing him to turn around and catch the pokemon in the act as it tried to hide in the tall grass.
The sockheaded Ed boy wasn't angry but curious at this new mon, taking his rotom phone out, he scanned the new mon that looked nervous, "Ralts the Emotion pokemon: It is highly attuned to the emotions of people and Pokémon. It hides if it senses hostility."
"Impressive, I never thought a pokemon could be this intelligent, seems like a good capture." Double D threw out James, who seemed to be ready.
"James use water gun!" James sucked in a breath and shot a small stream of water at the Ralts, who afterwards made their eyes glow before using PSI to attack James, however James unfortunately was put in a trance.
"James are you alright, try using Pound.." Unfortunately the Ralts confusion attack warped James mind making the poor mon hit himself to try to make the pain stop.
Double D was terrified "Oh dear, James I apologize but I must return you for now, I'm sorry Monarch but you must help me." Returning the Sobble Edd tossed out his metapod.
The Ralts opened their mouth and let out a loud screech unnerving Monarch and doing slight damage, as Double D held his ears he had an idea to stop it. "Monarch, String shot it's mouth!"
The metapod spat it's sticky string onto the Yelling mon, muting it and making it nervous as it flailed its arms panicking about the disgusting thing on its mouth. "Tackle it one more time and that should be enough." Double D said calmly.
Monarch hopped over to the Ralts now trying to pull the string off it's mouth and slammed into it knocking it down as Double D tossed a pokeball ensuring the new mon, and capturing the Ralts, as he checked the data on his Rotom phone he saw that it was female, quickly thinking of a name he landed on one.
"Welcome to the Team Empath." Putting her ball in his pocket Monarch started to glow as his cocoon body started to shatter, soon the glow faded as Monarch's new form emerged which resembled butterfly. "Monarch, you've reached your final form, Congratulations!"
The rotom dex pulled up a new entry for Monarch's new form, "Butterfree, the Butterfly pokemon: In battle, it flaps its wings at great speed to release highly toxic dust into the air." as Double D read that over, he saw Monarch learned a new move called gust due to his new wings.
"Impressive Monarch, I feel this evolution will be useful in the future." Double D smiled as Monarch gave his trainer a hug causing the Sockheaded boy to chuckle.
Meanwhile in a small wooded area Eddy was walking around doing some training, mostly beating down Bunnelby and the occasional Nuzleaf, Gene learned snarl and Willow learning double kick.
He was walking around looking for another random mon to either fight or make part of his team, until he heard some frightened cries, hiding in a nearby bush he peered in on the sight, it was a small berry pokemon being harassed by 2 owl Pokemon, curious he pulled out his pokedex and scanned the new pokemon.
"Bounsweet, The fruit pokemon: When under attack, it secretes a sweet and delicious sweat. The scent only calls more enemies to it." When he heard that last part his mind went to scamming, Eddy's delicious fruit juice could be a hit in the cul de sac.
"Hoothoot, the owl pokemon: It begins to hoot at the same time every day. Some Trainers use them in place of clocks." Shrugging he put away the Pokédex now looking at the birds.
Birds were a touchy subject for Eddy, like they brought up bad memories of… well someone he didn't want to reveal to his friends, and they just annoyed him generally, so he didn't like them, so seeing these two attack some berry got him angry.
As the two hoothoot were about to finish off the Bounsweet a flame was shot at one of them, they held off as they saw Eddy looking annoyed at the two birds with Willow at his side.
"Hey go scram, your lunch is over! Go on you moochers!" He yelled, with Willow sucking in breath for another ember, with the two hoothoot getting the message to scram they flew off, besides Berries would be much easier to eat than a Pokémon.
"Dumb birds, don't know when to leave ya alone." Eddy muttered with Willow nodding, she didn't like constantly battling Rookadies.
As the duo were about to leave Eddy felt a bump on his leg, it was the Bounsweet, looking happy at being saved, "Oh yea… you, it was no problem saving ya due to my awesome strength!" Eddy said flexing causing Willow to face palm.
The Bounsweet seemed to want to stay with Eddy, which the Short Ed boy shrugged, "Why not you got marketing potential in the future." Lazily tossing a pokeball the small pokemon was sucked in and due to it's injuries and it wanted to be caught it put up no resistance
Looking at the data on the new pokemon he caught, he saw that it was female, making sure he wouldn't make the same mistake with Willow, he thought of a new nickname, "Uh.. Peach why not…" Willow gave an "Eh" hand gesture as a response as her and Eddy went deeper in the groove.
Soon at dusk at the entrance in the city Ed was patiently waiting at the entrance looking glum as he didn't catch any pokemon so far, but Kong learned Razor Leaf at least.
His mood brightened up when he saw Eddy and Edd arriving near him, "Hello friends! I beat you to motor city!" He smiled.
"I guess you did lumpy, at least Willow and Gene got training while I caught a new pokemon." Eddy commented stretching.
"I got some training in as well, as I caught a Psychic pokemon, I might return to the fields for research tomorrow." Eddy dismissed Double D's words with an offhanded wave as he walked into town.
"Yea sure, as long as it doesn't interfere with my registration on the league" Ed returned to his glum attitude with Double D patting him on the shoulder. "What's wrong Ed?" He asked.
The big ed whimpered like a puppy "Aw Double D you and Eddy got new monsters for your team while I got nothing…"
Double D sighed but comforted him, "Ed there's a whole region ahead for us, I guarantee you'll get a whole team of mons in the future!" Ed brightened up as he gave Double D a squeezing hug.
"Thanks Double D you're my best friend!" As Edd gained a blue face from the big hug, Eddy called down from the top of the stairs, "Come on guys, the city's waiting!" After hearing that, Ed trotted up the stairs with Double D still in a hug.
Meanwhile in air above the ocean the Cul De sacers were riding a plane, after getting approval from their parents and thier tickets they quickly packed for the flight they were currently taking.
Kevin packed the Essentials, and while he couldn't take his bike he was alright with not having it if it meant catching up with the eds, Nazz packed some makeup and some reading material for the plane ride aside from the essentials, Jhonny just packed the essentials and Plank that's all he needed.
Rolf meanwhile was allowed to bring one of his farm animals with him, which he picked his loyal pig wilfred, also he had a lot of meat and provisions for this journey, so at least the Cul De saccers wouldn't go hungry.
However the only challenge was getting Rolf on the plane and convincing it wasn't a winged demon and Wilfred wasn't eaten by it when he was put in the cargo hold. Now nearing the end of their flight, Nazz was reading, Johnny and plank were talking and Rolf looked extremely paranoid looking out the window.
Kevin sighed as he started to Doze off, while this journey seemed fun, beating those Dorks was his main priority, but now, might as well get some rest.
By the next chapter the Cul De saccers will be in Galar and sorry about Ed not getting any pokemon, he'll get one soon after the opening ceremony though, next time Pokemon interactions and more Cul De saccers. Please review, and i'm still taking suggestions for the Cul De saccers Pokemon.
