Nothing with the Cul De sac Kids this chapter, but alot happens with the Eds, so enjoy! But first reviews:
Engineer1869: I do have 2 plans for Jonny and Nazz to help them with the gym, but you'll see next chapter.
Guest: Eds Gigantamax hasn't been decided, but I have three ideas on the table right now. (Though Eddy and Double D's have been picked._
Later on route 5 Double D and Ed were watching Eddy prepare a pot with water he found at a nearby lake as he made a small fire, it was time for his bet with Double D to start.
"Alright boys it's time for some curry, ala Eddy!" He smirked tossing in some instant noodles he bought at a Pokémon center and ten Berry's he collected from various trees it was time to prove Double D wrong.
He fanned the small flame at the bottom of the pot as it increased in size eventually giving the pot just the right amount of heat as Eddy moved onto the next step.
Taking a spoon Eddy stirred the pot and it's contents carefully not to make the curry inside spill, and after stirring the ingredients he added a bit of flavoring to finish the meal..
After putting two samples on the plates he handed them to Double D and Ed, "Bon appetit boys!" He said with a fake French accent.
Ed took one bite and immediately devoured the curry on his plate, then grabbing Double D's plate as he was about to take a bite, and shoving it down his gullet as he eve ate the bit on Double D's spoon, before running over to the pot and chugging the rest down.
"Yummy yummy in Ed's tummy!" He said patting his stomach in relief. With Eddy smirking. "Guess I win that bet Double D!"
Edd shook his head. "Well we both lost the bet, despite you making some great curry based on Eds reaction however I didn't get to eat it, so we basically tied."
Eddy groaned. "Great now I have to catch a stupid bird, but you've gotta give me some of your cash to fill your end of the deal."
Double D handed over his winnings from Milo to Eddy as he counted the money up. Before heading into Route 5's tall grass to get his end done.
For Eddy finding a bird he liked wasn't easy, considering he disliked them already, and the only bird on this route so far where these weird flamingo things, and he wasn't planning on catching any Rookidee, those birds bothered him while he collected berries for his curry so that was an obvious no.
However the next bird Pokémon he saw was a weird duck like Pokémon, it had a large vegetable over its shoulder which it held in its hand. "Well it'd have to do to shut sockhead up." Eddy said taking out his Pokédex.
"Farfetch'd, the wild duck Pokémon: The Farfetch'd of the Galar region are brave warriors, and they wield thick, tough leeks in battle." Smiling Eddy tossed out Peach who didn't get much action in the last gym battle.
"Alright Peach, let's try that new move you learned, Magical leaf!" Peach nodded as she summoned a horde of leaves that glowed with magical energy, which sliced through the duck injuring it, but it still seemed ready to continue.
It smashed its leek against peach doing significant damage but the berry stood up not wanting to make Eddy sad about her losing. Eddy smiled at this, "Man who knew veggies could do so much damage, use razorleaf!"
Nodding Peach summoned a horde of leaves that were razor sharp that hit the Farfetch'd pretty hard making it stagger a little bit, seizing the opportunity Eddy tossed a blue pokeball he bought at the Pokémon center to catch the duck when the ball clicked he picked it up.
"You're not that bad… for a bird, guess I'll call you Lance, seems fitting." Eddy said putting his fighting types ball on his belt. Before he could return Peach she glowed surprising Eddy.
"Woah another evolution today, am I lucky or what!" Eddy smiled as Peach grew into a more humanoid form as the light cleared, after staring at her new form she started to dance around with glee as Eddy's Pokédex explained what her evolution was.
"Steenee, The fruit Pokémon: Any Corvisquire that pecks at this Pokémon will be greeted with a smack from its sepals followed by a sharp kick." Eddy raised an eyebrow at the other Pokémon mentioned in the entry but shrugged.
"Come on Peach let's go find sockhead and the lump so we can keep moving forward, I wanna get done with this route as soon as possible." Eddy said as he and Peach went back through the tall grass.
Meanwhile Edd was finishing up a battle with a chief who was using some sort of Apple Pokémon, "Now Empath, Psybeam!" The Ralts fired a beam of energy from her head hitting the small Apple.
"Applin, use astonish!" The small Pokémon hid in its Apple before popping out with a scare, shocking Empath and doing critical damage.
"Empath finish it with draining kiss!" Edd told his fairy psychic type who sighed before kissing the small Apple and with it being a dragon type, it did super effective damage Ko'ing it.
"Excellent work Empath!" The ralts nodded as she went to Double D's backpack to grab some mouthwash as she started to glow brightly and evolve. "My word Empath you're evolving!" Double D said in awe.
Soon when the light cleared Empath was a more humanoid Pokémon with two horns and her eyes finally being revealed, interested Double D scanned her new form.
"Kirla, the emotion Pokémon: If its Trainer becomes happy, it overflows with energy, dancing joyously while spinning about." Double D looked at Empath who didn't seem concerned with her evolution as she was gargling the mouthwash and spitting it out.
"Well it's not really emotional, but it's still more strength for us." Double D said returning Empath as Ed returned.
"Double D I caught an Apple!" Ed said showing an Applin much like the one the chief had.
"How nice Ed, did you battle it?" Ed shook his head, "I protected him from Evil birds that wanted to Eat him, then he wanted to join my monster team!" Double D didn't get the Dex entry for Applin so he should get it now.
"Applin, The Apple core Pokémon: It spends its entire life inside an apple. It hides from its natural enemies, bird Pokémon, by pretending it's just an apple and nothing more." Double D was surprised.
"Huh the Apple isn't the Pokémon, I'm shocked considering Eddy's Bounsweet is a berry." He mused. "She ain't one anymore!" Eddy said coming over.
"Oh did Peach evolve already?" Eddy nodded "Yea and I caught my bird, dude looks alright, for a bird at least."
Double D and Ed were shocked, Eddy would do anything to get out of a bet he lost and here he caught a Bird Pokémon and didn't seem to mind it.
"Hey can you get your jaws off the ground and let's go? I wanna get through this route today!" Eddy said walking off as the other two Ed's snapped back to reality and followed.
Later at dusk the trio were still on route 3 with no new trainers and Pokémon, they were kinda bored, "We might have to set up camp soon." Double D said looking up to the sky that was a bright orange.
"Yea sure just a half an hou-" Eddy was interrupted by a man speeding by on a bike seeming he was on a mission.
"Hey watch it buddy!" Eddy yelled at the man who turned his bike around to face the trio. "Sorry about that boys, I'm currently trying to get a perfect Pokémon, I'm currently getting Eggs from the daycare and selectively breeding to get the perfect Pokémon."
Double D seemed annoyed with this method. "Wouldn't it be wiser to raise a Pokémon through experience rather than taking such extreme measures."
The man snorted "Pfft yeah right, only the best of the best Pokémon make it far in the league, the Day care is over there if you're looking for a place to rest for the night." He pointed north as he sped off.
"Man what a tree bark.." Ed said about the man as Eddy corrected him "Sap Ed, sap. But that daycare place seems like a good place to rest, come on boys!" The trio moved further into route as the twilight shined above them.
The Ed's arrived at a small cabin as Edd knocked on the door, opening it up was a young woman and a small purple lizard Pokemon next to her. "For the last time, we don't have any new Eggs-!" She started annoyed before seeing the Ed's.
"Oh sorry, someone has basically been bothering us for awhile about a perfect Pokémon and we're getting tired of him coming back." Eddy nodded "Yea we saw the dingus, he's going down route 5 right now."
The woman sighed in relief "At least he won't be back soon, come inside you three, I'm guessing you're here to stay the night?" As the Ed's took her invitation they ventured inside.
"Yes of course, if you don't mind." Double D said as the woman shook her head "Not at all, there's three beds you can take, just as long as you clean up in the morning." Eddy waved it off. "That's totally fine since we don't get to pay rent."
He then felt something nudge him from below. Looking down he was the purple lizard next to him seeming to take a shine to Eddy. "Who's the gecko Miss?" Ed asked the lady that ran the daycare.
"That's Toxel, the poor thing was abandoned by its mother and we took it in, and we're trying to find it a trainer, but I think we just found one." Eddy shrugged.
"Eh he looks pretty cool why not, I'll name him… Volt. How'd you like that?" The Toxel jumped for joy at the new name as the woman gave him a black Pokéball that looked fancy.
"This is his pokeball, please take care of him for us!" She said gingerly. Eddy took the ball as his Pokédex beeped, "Please swap out one Pokémon from your team."
Eddy turned to Double D for answers "You can only have 6 Pokémon out with you at a time, the rest are in your Pokémon box to be swapped out later." Eddy nodded he chose Chan since he got enough training for now, and now Lance and Volt needed it more.
His Pokédex soon displayed Volts entry in the Pokédex for Eddy. "Toxel, The Baby Pokemon: It manipulates the chemical makeup of its poison to produce electricity. The voltage is weak, but it can cause a tingling paralysis."
Soon at the counter a man sighed annoyed. "Another Egg…" The woman groaned. "Ugh, I'm gonna throw it out unless…" she turned to Eddy "Since you're taking care of Toxel, you mind bringing an Egg on your journey? It'll be a great way to shut that man up about IV's and EV's."
Eddy shrugged, "Hey it's another member of Team Eddy so I don't mind!" The woman nodded to the man who left the counter and returned with an incubator with an egg inside the Egg was mostly Yellow with its top being black as it ran down the backside of the Egg.
Ed tapped the glass as Eddy pulled it away. "What kind of Monster is it?" Ed asked Double D.
"I have no clue, we'll just have to wait and see when it hatches, now lets get some rest gents, we're getting to Hulbury tomorrow." The other two Ed's nodded and went to get changed for the night after a pretty busy day all things considered.
So yea Eddy get's three pokemon (Well two, but ones an egg for now) and I wanted to include a small take that to EV and IV breeding, it's mostly a joke don't worry, but yea try to guess Eddy's Egg I hope I gave a good discription for it, anyways next time more Cul De saccers before the Eds next town trip, Please review!
