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 23: A change in path

Mt Chimney's smoking head was viewable from where I was standing. I was now on Route 112.

"Brendan!" I saw May running up to me. "Oh my goodness, I saw you. Your first Contest victory! This is amazing!" Her attention focused quickly to Mt Chimney. "Look at that. The biggest mountain in the Hoenn region. You're heading to Lavaridge Town right? To get there we need to descend down the mountain."

We walked up the stairs to the cable car. "This will get us to the top." As we went in, we saw a man sleeping in a chair. I woke him up. "Huh? Oh yeah sorry. Welcome to the Mt Chimney Cable Car. Unfortunately, our Cable Car is currently down." We both gasped. "But Brendan needs to get to Lavaridge Town for his next Badge!" The man sighed. "Well maybe you could go to Fallarbor Town instead for a bit. It will be back in motion in a couple of days". I thought I could see someone under the desk. "Mind your own business. Come back later."

"This is a bother" May said as we lay on the rocky ground. "Oh well, Fallarbor does have a Contest Hall, and look!" She pulled out a Contest Pass. "I want to participate to."

"Hey you!" A Camper came over to me. "I hear you are trying to get to Lavaridge Town. I am to and I am bored. Battle me!" May got up. "Make it double!" she said.

The Camper named Larry sent out a Taillow and a green, slimy looking Pokémon.

Lombre

020

Water/Grass Type

Jolly Pokémon

3'11" (1.2 m)

71.7 lbs (32.5 kg)

Lombre's entire body is covered by a slippery, slimy filth. It feels horribly unpleasant to be touched by this Pokémon's hands. Lombre is often mistaken for a human child.

Lotad -Lv 14 Lombre

We sent out Swellow and Grovyle respectively. "Grovyle, Screech on Lombre!" Grovyle let out an ear piercing screech which forced Lombre to cover its ears. Swellow then used Wing Attack. Lombre was down. "Taillow! Wing Attack!" Taillow used Wing Attack on Grovyle, bringing its health down to half. "Grovyle, Quick Attack!" Grovyle dashed into Taillow and Swellow finished it off with a Wing Attack.

We had won. At that point though, dark clouds covered the sky and a bit of thunder roared. "There is a hole in the wall of the volcano but only one of us can fit in" May noted. I told her I would be fine and went to find some other shelter as the rain started chucking it down.

I came across a cave known as Fiery Path. This is where I would be sleeping tonight.
