Happy New Year everyone, anyone play sword and shield? cause the raid event for now is really good for getting shiny Magikarp (I have 2 and their both Square shiny!) Anyways reviews:
Verdesaiyan: Dusclops was considered for Ed, but I didn't know how to do the sidequest to get the reaper cloth in this. As for Bounsweet I picked it for Eddy due to him thinking of scamming with its sweat due to it's nice taste.
Later that day on route 3 the Eds were continuing their journey now walking at a slightly faster pace to get ahead of the Cul De sac kids which they now knew were in galar with them.
The trainers around this place were giving the group some Exp, with Monarch learning various types of powders with Double D keeping the Sleep powder in place of harden. Now the Eds were walking through the tall grass as they got closer to a cave.
"So sockhead where are we headed next?" Eddy asked after Ko'ing another Zigzagoon and returning Willow.
"Well our first gym challenge is in the town of Turffield which is 2 routes away, and we have to go into the Galarian mines to get to route four." Edd said looking at his map on his phone.
"Wait mines? mines have gold and gems, and that means cash galore!" Eddy said getting cash on the mind.
"Remember Eddy we're trying to keep a lead on our neighbors in the Cul De Sac so we should get through the mines as quickly as possible.
Eddy reluctantly nodded despite his greed for moolah Double D was right. Soon bursting out of the grass was a small Panda pokemon that had a small leaf in it's mouth and it looked pretty cocky.
Double D's Rotom Dex picked up on the new pokemon and it explained it. "Pancham, the Playful pokemon: Wanting to make sure it's taken seriously, Pancham's always giving others a glare. But if it's not focusing, it ends up smiling."
Eddy seemed to like the small fighting type, "You got spunk kid, that's perfect for Team Eddy! Willow you're up!"
Sending out his small bunny pokemon the bear took a fighting stance, "Start things off with an ember!"
Taking in some air willow fired a small flame which hit the Panda. Who in turn grabbed Willow and then turned on its back, throwing Willow over its head.
When she landed Willow was sucked back into her pokeball shocking Eddy, "Wait what, Willow wasn't even damaged that much! Why is she in her ball?"
Double D looked up the move the Pancham just used. "Circle Throw, It can return a pokemon and make it unusable until it can be swapped in again."
Eddy sighed. "Alright fine, Peach you're up!" Tossing out his Bounsweet who looked ready to listen for a battle.
"Use Razor leaf!" Peach fired many leaves at the pancham making it annoyed as it chewed the leaf in it's mouth. Before smacking Peach with his palms 4 times.
Peach was slowly getting weak, as Eddy had an idea to end the battle "Use rapid spin!" Peach went into a tackle before spinning on the pancham making it look tired "Alright! Nice one Peach!" Eddy said complementing his berry mon who soaked up the attention.
Eddy tossed a pokeball capturing the panda, "Sweet your name is Chan! Come on boys that mines getting closer and closer!" Eddy said as he led the group deeper into Route 3.
Soon a foul odor hit the trios noses making Double D and Eddy gag, however Ed seemed to be unaware. "Ugh Ed you gotta take a bath sometime!" Eddy said plugging his nose.
"It's not me Eddy!" Ed defended as a new pokemon waddling into the trios view which looked like a trash bag.
"Well that explains the putrid smell.." Edd said taking out his rotom phone and scanned the new pokemon.
"Trubbish, the trash bag pokemon: Its favorite places are unsanitary ones. If you leave trash lying around, you could even find one of these Pokémon living in your room." Eddy chuckled at the entry.
"Man if we had pokemon back home, they'd be infesting Eds room!" The trubbish seemed to like Ed due to his foul odor and nuzzled up to him.
"Aw he likes me guys!" Ed said petting the small monster which smiled, "Can I keep him guys!"
"Well you are a trainer Ed, I don't see why not!" Double D said, while he was offended by it's wretched smell he didn't want to make Ed sad.
"Oh boy!" Ed tossed a pokeball which captured the small trashbag as it wanted to go with Ed, "I shall dub thee, Oscar!" Ed said holding up the pokeball.
"Don't have to be dramatic Ed, come on we gotta get to those mines." Eddy said as the group were slowly reaching the cliffs that lead into the Mine.
Back at the Edge of Motostoke Cul de sac Kids were heading out of the town after the ceremony. With Rolf releasing his Mudbray (Now named Maximus) to carry the groups things after feeding it a couple berries.
"Dude did you see all those Gym leaders, looks like the competition will be tough." Nazz said a bit nervous.
Kevin smirked. "Well that's what makes it better for us, makes our mons strong as well." Rolf agreed about that.
"Hot shot kevin boy is right, to become monster champions our monsters must be up to snuff Gogo Nazz girl." He said feeding another berry to Maximus.
"Alright.. At least those uniforms are pretty good looking!" Nazz noted about the groups uniforms.
"Rolf dislikes like wearing the fancy uniforms for events but he shall go with these weird customs to represent his home country." Rolf noted as Wilfred snorted.
Jhonny listened to plank. "Hey guys, Plank says the next town we should go to is Turffield it's where our first gym challenge is." He said the other Cul De sacers, Kevin looked at his map and was shocked to see Plank was actually right.
"Huh guess the wood is right, alright let's try to get as far as we can in this next route before it gets dark." Kevin said as he led the group into the beginning of route 3.
Meanwhile near the Glarian mines the eds have set up camp for the night with their pokemon being released to stretch and relax. While Double D was setting up the tents, Ed was roasting some sausages on the campfire and Eddy was reading the curry cookbook with Gene lying nearby.
Willow was currently training herself nearby, unfortunately Kong was playing with Mary, Peach, and James so she was alone this time. After destroying a nearby branch with a double kick she sighed until she heard an unfamiliar voice.
"(You're strong, maybe I shouldn't have tossed you out of that battle…)" It was Chan who was watching her training intently.
"(Oh you.. Why aren't you with the others?)" Willow asked curiously. Chan shrugged, "(Eh that raccoon is too wild for me, and the berry is too sweet.)" He hopped down.
"(Small suggestion, don't focus all your energy in both kicks, save it for the second kick and create a powerful second hit.)" Chan suggested.
"(Huh.. thanks)" Willow said, she then had a thought that made her smirk. "(Wanna spar, I need something to test my moves on aside from branches.)"
Chan smiled, "(Sure, you got an actual fighting type to fight so you won't have an easy time!)" He said adjusting the small leaf in his mouth.
Willow rolled her eyes. "(Arceus what a dweeb… geez Eddy's rubbing off on me!)" She thought before getting into a fighting stance.
Back at the camp, Empath and Beatrace were talking. "(Ugh I dislike using draining kiss, getting so many germs in my mouth is disgusting!)" She said shuddering. "(I swear the next move I learn is replacing that.)"
Beatrace nodded. "(Well we try to ignore some of the more disgusting aspects when we use bug bite, but we understand where you are coming from.)" They said with all three heads talking.
The two sniffed the air before gagging. "(What is that horrendous smell!)" Empath said plugging her nose.
Coming over to the two was the newest addition to the team Oscar. "(Hiya guys, can I walk with ya?)" He said happily.
Before Empath could protest Beatrace spoke up, "(Sure, we don't mind, Empath doesn't care either.)" The Ralts grumbled at this but relented.
"(Oh goodie!)" He said walking over increasing the smell for the two pokemon. "(I must ask… why do you smell worse than most trubbish?)" Empath asked.
"(Oh that's because I want to be as smelly as my trainer! I've got to really reek to match him in stench.)" Oscar said still blissful.
Empaths eye twitched as more of his noxious fumes entered her nose before running to a nearby bush and puking in disgust, for now Empath wanted to stay clear of the walking trash bag.
Later that night after eating dinner and returning their pokemon, the Eds went to sleep in their tents ready for the next day where they would go through the Galar mines and then to their first gym challenge in Turffield.
Alright one thing about Betrace, the reason she refers herself as "We" instead of her saying "I" simply put she's three pokemon in one, and shes kinda a hive mind because Bee pun. And bonus Question, should I do trainer card descriptions for the Eds and Cul De Saccers later on? I'm curious.
