Consider this chapter sort of a part 2 of the last chapter, sorry it took so long, here's the review responses:
fangs of death: Uh.. can't be found in Galar sorry. It's a good choice none the less.
Meanwhile in the forest where Eddy caught Peach, near a small Berry tree, Jhonny was walking around as Plank talked to him, as he looked towards a tree. "What's that plank? There's berries in that tree?"
Plank spoke to him again, "Oh I'll send Chunky (His Skowvet) up so he can get the berries, great idea buddy!"
Tossing out his small squirrel that had chubby cheeks due to still holding some berries in it's mouth. "Hey Chunky, think you can knock down some berries?" Johnny asked as the Skwovet smiled as he quickly ran up the tree.
Grabbing a container from his backpack and putting it under the rustling tree soon a couple Berrys of various colors and tastes, however the biggest thing that fell was a small acorn pokemon.
Taking out his pokedex Jhonny scanned the new mon. "Seedot, the Acorn Pokémon: If it remains still, it looks just like a real nut. It delights in surprising foraging Pokémon."
"Oh cool! An acorn pokemon, should I catch it plank?" Plank talked to Johnny making the boy nod, "You're the boss plank!" He called up into the tree. "Hey Chunky I need your help!"
The small squirrel leapt down from the tree with it's cheeks filled, ready to fight. "Use Tackle!" Chunky ran towards the small acorn pokemon and slammed into it, knocking it over a little bit.
The small arcon then glowed as it drained the energy from the small squirrel, as the acorn felt much better.
"Bite it!" The squirrel latched its teeth to the arcon making it flinch from the buck teeth in it's body, "Now's our chance, Tackle it one more time!" Chunky slammed into it one more time, making it dazed as Jhonny tossed a pokeball capturing it.
"Nice one, come on Chunky, lets grab some more berries!" Jhonny, Plank and Chunky went further into the woods.
Meanwhile Kevin was training his Charmander now named Slasher, and his Chewtle Lockjaw, unlike his friends he wanted to get to Motostoke as soon as possible, not only to catch up with Eds, but to sign up for the gym challenge.
At least Slasher learned Dragon breath, and Lockjaw got stronger. As another bunnelby ran off after being Ko'd Kevin fed his two pokemon some berries jhonny found, while the kid was weird, he at least kept his team well fed.
"Nice one Slasher, get some rest." His charmander stoically nodded as it was sucked back into his ball. As he traversed the tall grass his next encounter was different than the weak Bunnies and cocoons he fought before.
It was a small humanoid pokemon that looked like a young kid that was practicing Karate, curious Kevin scanned the new mon. "Tyrouge, the Scuffle Pokémon: It is always bursting with energy. To make itself stronger, it keeps on fighting even if it loses."
Kevin smirked, "Not bad, Lockjaw you're up!" Tossing his chewtle out it looked ready to bite this newcomer.
"Alright use bite!" Lockjaw went forward to chomp down but the Tyrouge faked him out making it fail his attack.
"Geez, use Water gun!" Lockjaw spat a hose of water at the Small fighter knocking it back before it went for a tackle knocking poor lockjaw on his shell, Kevin sighed at his pokemon struggling like this.
"Get some rest dude." He returned his small turtle and released Slasher that looked ready to brawl, while the Tyrouge took a deep breath focusing it's energy for it's next attack.
"This is my strongest mon, show em what you're made of Slasher, Dragon breath!" Slasher Took a deep breath and spewed purple flames at tyrouge who was going for another tackle while it was consumed by the flames.
When Slasher stopped the Tyrouge stumbled around clearly close to fainting, clearly it needed more training and Kevin was gonna give it that.
He tossed a pokeball capturing it and smirking, "Nice, come on Slasher let's get to motostoke hopefully the others will be there."
Slasher smiled as the two started to run forward and were slowly getting closer to the city gates in the horizon as the skies slowly turned to dusk..
Back in the city of Motostoke, Double D and Marnie were shocked at what they saw in the hotel lobby, Eddy and Ed we're battling a group of weirdly dressed folks with horns and posters. Marnie instantly recognized them and sighed.
"Great they're here…" She sulked, now annoyed.
Double D arched an eyebrow, "You know these ruffians?" Marnie nodded.
"These are my fans, they usually follow me around causing trouble for others, and since I'm in the gym challenge they're gonna mess with other competitors." She muttered shocking Double D.
"Oh my, at least Eddy and Ed are handling these hooligans." Double D commented as They saw Eddy take out the woman's Nicket with Peach and Ed finishing off the Galarian Zigzagoon with Mary.
"Oh yea! You're no match for me and Ed you weirdos!" Eddy boasted with Peach having the same cocky smirk as her trainer.
"We have defeated the horribly painted criminals!" Ed smiled with Mary giving a small baa as a response.
The male Fan sighed "Guess it was defeat that I heard comin'... I'm think i'm about to cry…" He said shedding a tear.
Soon Marnie and Double D reached the group. "What are you lot doing here!" Marnie yelled annoyed shocking the group of grunts.
"Marnie!" The female grunt gasped.
"N-nothin'... we was just…" The male grunt stammered as Marnie sighed.
"I know you all are terribly curious 'bout the other gym challengers, but you gotta show a little bit restraint!" She scolded them embarrassed.
She turned to the other 2 Eds and Hop and decided to explain things "Sorry 'bout them, they're a bunch of my fans. Call themselves Team Yell and follow me around cheerin' for me."
Eddy waved off her apology, "Eh its cool, those guys weren't much of a threat."
"Team yell was it? Pretty impressive that you have a set of fans that you can call your own." Hop said interested.
Marnie sighed "Well it's impressive until they really start bothering you." She turned to Double D "Shall we have our match now, we each pick one pokemon to use in it."
Double D took a pokeball out "Of course as promised, Empath lets battle!" Empath seemed ready to fight albeit a bit nervous as well.
Marnie nodded to Morpeko as it hopped off her shoulder eating a seed. "Morpeko is my oldest pokemon, so be ready!"
Double D smirked "Of course, Empath confuse our opponent!" The ralts sent a psychic wave of energy at her foe.
The morpeko was hit as it was nothing, shocking the Eds on it's immunity. "Wait it didn't even scratch it!" Eddy said shocked.
"Cheater!" Ed yelled.
"Well Morpeko is a dark type pokemon which is immune to psychic type attacks." Marnie explained giving the Eds at least something to think about for future battles.
"Anyways Morpeko, use thunder shock!" The Morpeko shot a charge of electricity towards Emmpath shocking her and knocking her back a little bit.
Soon the Morpeko's form changed darking it's fur and developing an angry face. "It's mutated during battle!" Ed said amazed.
"That's her hangry mode, I don't know what it does but it gets more aggressive during it." Manie explained, "Use power trip!"
The morpeko flexed before striking Empath with a punch, "Empath, disarming voice!" The ralts took a deep breath before screeching in the Morpeko's face, pushing it back before it transformed into it's normal mode.
"Use thundershock again!" Marnie ordered as Morpeko tried another thundershock as Empath dodged, "Use draining kiss to end this!" Double D asked.
The small psychic fairy floated towards Morpeko and gave it a small kiss healing Empath and knocking out morpeko.
Marnie huffed as she returned Morpeko. "You did well, you got potential for the gym challenge, I guess we'll be considering each other rivals then?"
Double D nodded as he returned Empath as she looked disgusted about kissing Morpeko. "I suppose, but we should get to more important matters."
"Yea like getting our hotel room!" Eddy interrupted as the group went to sign into the hotel for the night.
Later that evening the Eds were settling into their hotel rooms, as Ed and his team were already snoring away, with Mary and Kong joining him in his bed, in Double D's Room James was the only one sleeping in the bed with Double D with Empath sleeping in the nearby chair as Monarch and Beatrace were sleeping in the window.
In Eddy's room Gene was lying at the Beds feet, with Willow taking the chair as Peach snuggled up to Eddy much to his annoyance, Willow chuckled at the sighed before drifting off herself. Tomorrow the Ed's journey would truly begin.
