Chapter 14: Beach Boy
Today was the day Plusle and Minun met its old Trainer again. "Seashore House. People love to battle there. Come on."
We came to a small hut that was covered in the finest white paint. "Ready you two?" Mr Briney asked as we went in.
"Hello" said a Sailor. "Welcome to Seashore House. We like to battle." Mr Briney went up to him. "Shut it Huey. Do you remember Plusle and Minun?" I stepped aside to show him the two cuties. They ran up to him and into his arms. "Wait, where were they?" Mr Briney was getting really mad now. "Don't play dumb with me. You abandoned these two souls because you thought they were weak."
Huey was confused. "What? That is not the case. What actually happened was, well, I was about to become pregnant." I saw to children in swim rings. "These are my children, Ricky and Lola. Let me just say, looking after Pokémon and children are not easy. I had to choose between one or the other and I had no choice. So, I left them on Abandoned Ship to play."
I was confused. Why didn't he keep them? "I was scared okay! Having children is a difficult decision in life and I didn't want to focus on too much! I should have told them both, I'm sure they would understand. Now I have to apologise because…" He started crying and then hugged both of them. "I want the two of you back with me." Plusle and Minun cheered.
"So he was just doing what he thought was right. I can't relate, I've been single my whole life, though my wife is the sea. So I'm fine."
So this place likes to battle huh? "Of course!" said Huey. "Ricky, Lola. How would you two like to use them?"
"Of course!" they both shouted.
We went out to the beach, a bunch of Sailors watching us. "Watch us Azurill!" Lola shouted as she sent out a small blue Pokémon with a large ball-like tail.
Azurill
054
Normal Type
Polka Dot Pokémon
0'08" (0.2 m)
4.4 lbs (2 kg)
Azurill's tail is large and bouncy. It is packed full of the nutrients this Pokémon needs to grow. Azurill can be seen bounding and playing on its big, rubbery tail.
Baby Pokémon.
It was a double battle against Lola's Plusle and and Ricky's Minun. I used Marshtomp and Dustox. "Plusle! Helping Hand!" shouted Lola. Plusle started cheering for Minun. "Now Minun use Quick Attack!" Ricky said, as Minun ran really fast into Dustox. It did more damage than a normal Quick Attack (well Quick Attack is already Normal so not the best way of wording it). "That was Helping Hand!" Lola said. "It cheers on its teammate in a double battle doubling the power of its move!". Interesting.
Marshtomp used Mud Shot on Plusle and Dustox used Confusion on Minun. "Now Minun! Use Helping Hand!" Minun cheered on Plusle and Plusle used Quick Attack on Dustox, knocking it out. "Yeah!" said the children, hi fiving. Marshtomp used Mud Shot on Minun, knocking it out.
I used Nuzleaf. Nuzleaf used Nature Power. It took in the nature surrounding it. Since we were battling on a beach, it became Earthquake! Plusle was knocked out, though Marshtomp was also damaged.
"Thank you!" they both said. "Dad can we keep them please please please?" Huey gave a delighted face. "Of course! They are all yours!" Huey came up to me. "Here is a little something for you. Six cans of Soda Pops! They can heal your Pokémon!"
Onward to Slateport City.
