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 21: Meditite go down

Me, Wally and Shannon were on Route 117 on foot this time. "Where we first met" Shannon told me. "This was where you knew your dream was to be a Contest Master!" Wally shook his head. "Actually, Brendan is collecting Gym Badges." Shannon sighed. "I guess he has other dreams to."

"Did you beat Wattson?" Wally asked. I got out my Badge Case and showed him my 3 Badges. "Amazing!" Wally said, eyes gleaming.

"I mean I guess if you want to make Contests a side thing" Shannon mentioned, then turned to Wally. "Hey Wally, did you pick up your pass?" Wally got out his Contest Pass. "Uh huh. I have two Pokémon" he said, sending out Ralts and his new Pokémon, Magnemite.

"Your Ralts knows Growl, Confusion, Double Team and Teleport. It knows two Cool moves, but that isn't gonna get you far" she said. "Magnemite knows Metal Sound, ThunderShock, Supersonic and SonicBoom. Two Cool moves and Two Smart moves. Not sure if these Pokemon have quite the right movesets for Contests. But if Magnemite gains two more levels, it will learn Thunder Wave, another Cool move!"

She then sent out a Pokémon. It was blue and white, but it was also meditating in the air.

Meditite

076

Fighting/Psychic Type

Meditate Pokémon

2'00" (0.6 m)

24.7 lbs (11.2 kg)

Meditite heightens its inner energy through meditation. It survives on just one berry a day. Minimal eating is another aspect of this Pokémon's training.

"I'm training this Meditite to have a Cool moveset" she said. "It currently knows Detect and ThunderPunch, the latter of which I bred to get." I gave a smile. I then told them I was going to look for berries for Pokeblock. "Not a bad idea" she said.

I went all around the place and found a berry tree. There was a Bluk Berry in one tree and a Persim Berry in the other. I went to grab the Persim Berry but I saw something. Well two things. There were two Pokemon. One was black with small wings and had a red collar around its neck along with a glowing tail.

Volbeat

086

Bug Type

Firefly Pokémon

2'04" (0.7 m)

39 lbs (17.7 kg)

Volbeat's tail glows like a lightbulb. With other Volbeat, it uses its tail to draw geometric shapes in the night sky. This Pokémon loves the sweet aroma given off by Illumise.

The other was similar to Volbeat but had purple instead of red and lacked the glowing tail.

Illumise

087

Bug Type

Firefly Pokémon

2'00" (0.6 m)

39 lbs (17.7 kg)

Illumise attracts a swarm of Volbeat using a sweet fragrance. Once the Volbeat have gathered, this Pokémon leads the lit-up swarm in drawing geometric designs on the canvas of the night sky.

They didn't like the fact that I was taking their Berries. It was time to battle.

It was a Double Battle so I used Swellow and Dustox. Swellow used Wing Attack on Volbeat. Volbeat was knocked back. Dustox used Confusion on Illumise, which also confused it. Volbeat then used Tackle on Dustox, which was a Critical Hit and did a fair bit on Dustox. Illumise did the same. It wasn't a Crit but Dustox was getting weaker. Swellow used another Wing Attack, this time on Illumise. It was down. Dustox used Confusion on Volbeat and knocked it out.

Success! I picked the berries and hurried on back to the others.

When I got back, I noticed Wally had a new Pokémon. It looked like Kirlia but it had two red horns and seemed to have a white skirt. Its legs were almost like a ballet dancer's.

Kirlia

030

Psychic Type

Emotion Pokémon

2'07" (0.8 m)

44.5 lbs (20.2 kg)

It is said that a Kirlia that is exposed to the positive emotions of its Trainer grows beautiful. This Pokemon controls psychokinetic powers with its highly developed brain.

Ralts -Lv 20 Kirlia

"This is amazing!" Wally said. "Okay, onwards and upwards!" Shannon said as we continued.

When we made it back to Mauville City, we discussed our plans. "I will take Wally to Slateport City to help him with his first Contest" Shannon told me. "Meanwhile, I suppose you are heading to Lavaridge to take on the Gym there." That was the plan. "Okay. But please make a promise. Afterwards, could you take a detour to Fallarbor? There is another Contest Hall there." I was going to do that anyway. "I'll meet you over there. Come on Wally, lets head to Slateport."

Wally however started having a coughing fit. I told Shannon that maybe he's had enough for today. "I suppose you are right. Your partner evolved and we have travelled from one place to another. Okay then. Let's head off tomorrow morning!"
