Pokemon The Journey RS

by Penguinja

Brendan Seaview finds himself whisked of to the Hoenn region, known for it's vast nature, after his Dad Norman becomes a Gym Leader. Whilst not too keen on the move, he finds that there is a lot to like about this new world. However, the world's ecosystem is under threat, and Hoenn looks to be the epicentre of this disaster. Can Brendan and his new friends save the world?

Chapter 16: Gulpin and needles

Well it turns out that even though I saved the Oceanic Museum, I still need to pay to get in. That was a lot of rubbish, so I just decided wander around Slateport for an hour before heading out.

I came across the Contest Hall. This is what May was talking about when I arrived in Hoenn. Maybe I could register?

I walked in. The Reception area was so grand. This was exciting. I went up to the desk. "Sorry sir, but you cannot register here." I was taken aback. Why not? "Registration is in Verdanturf Town. But here is a Pokeblock storage in order to help you on your way".

I've had enough of this place.

I was now on Route 110. I saw the Cycle Road above me. Of course, I don't have a bike so I couldn't use it. This would mean walking. This also meant encountering Pokémon such as Oddish, a small blue Pokémon with green leaves sticking out from the top of its head.

Oddish

088

Grass/Poison Type

Weed Pokémon

1'08" (0.5 m)

11.9 lbs (5.4 kg)

During the daytime, Oddish buries itself in soil to absorb nutrients from the ground using its entire body. The more fertile the soil, the glossier its leaves become.

I used Taillow and had it use Wing Attack. Taillow bashed its wings into Oddish knocking it out in one.

Soon, I came across a house. It said, "Trick House". It said I needed to have the move Cut on me to get through. I didn't have it, so I went on.

After about 10 steps, I saw a small green Pokémon with what looked like a yellow feather poking out from its head.

Gulpin

095

Poison Type

Stomach Pokémon

1'04" (0.4 m)

22.7 lbs (10.3 kg)

Most of Gulpin's body is made up of its stomach – its heart and brain are very small in comparison. This Pokémon's stomach contains special enzymes that dissolve anything.

Gulpin just stared at me. I stared back at Gulpin. Gulpin went over and started to swallow my shoe. I managed to kick Gulpin off. It wasn't swallowing these.

I sent out Poochyena. Poochyena used Bite on Gulpin. It did just under half damage. Gulpin then started to Yawn. As it did, a bubble floated over to Poochyena and it burst in its face. Poochyena was feeling drowsy and started to yawn itself. Poochyena used Bite once again. Gulpin was almost defeated. Gulpin then used Pound and hit Poochyena for little damage. Suddenly, Poochyena fell asleep. I told Poochyena to get up, but it didn't. Gulpin kept pounding Poochyena. Poochyena eventually woke up and finished Gulpin with another Bite.

Poochyena did it. I put my thumbs up and Poochyena began to glow. The glowing got brighter and brighter. When it died down, Poochyena was larger and whiter with black fur along its back.

Mightyena

Dark Type

Bite Pokémon

3'03" (1 m)

81.6 lbs (37 kg)

Mightyena travel and act as a pack in the wild. The memory of its life in the wild compels the Pokémon to obey only those Trainers that it recognizes to possess superior skill.

Poochyena -Lv 18 Mightyena

I was feeling tired now to so I set up camp.
