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 27: Archie's attack

"Robbery!" That one word woke me up. To my shock I saw two Team Magma Grunts, one male who had a more complex uniform than the ones from before and one female, running out of a house, followed by a Scientist who continued to shout, "Stop them!" I ran to him and asked him what was up. "Ask questions later, they stole some very important documents! They went down Route 114, please hurry!"

I ran back across Route 114, this time further than I went yesterday. I went up Fisherman and asked if he had seen them. He had a long, grew Pokémon at the end of his life, with blue fins and whiskers.

Barboach

127

Water/Ground Type

Whiskers Pokémon

1'04" (0.4 m)

4.2 lbs (1.9 kg)

Barboach's body is covered with a slimy film. If a foe grabs it, this Pokémon just slips out of the enemy's grip. This Pokémon grows weak if the slimy coating dries up.

"Sorry kid, been busy fishing" he told me. "Get lost". I thanked him sarcastically and kept running.

I continued running and saw May. "Brendan! Thank goodness, you would not believe what has happened." I knew exactly what she was talking about and asked her if she would like to team up. "I'd love to" she said. "Swablu! Go and look!" May sent out a small blue Pokémon with wings that looked like clouds.

Swablu

121

Normal/Flying Type

Cotton Bird Pokémon

1'04" (0.4 m)

2.6 lbs (1.2 kg)

Swablu has light and fluffy wings that are like cottony clouds. This Pokémon is not frightened of people. It lands on the heads of people and sits there like a cotton-fluff hat.

I sent out Swellow to tag along. The two flew off and started circling in the air. "They're over Meteor Falls!" May said.

We hopped on our bikes and got to where they were. "Good job Swablu!" May said as she got out a Pink Pokeblock and fed it to Swablu. Swablu seemed to love it. "Swablu has a Hasty Nature so Sweet Pokeblock are its favourite! Great for the upcoming contest! Now. To take down Team Magma!"

The waterfall of Meteor Falls crashed down next to us. It was quite a sight to behold. It was as if we had just stepped into somewhere straight out of a fairy tale.

"Hey, stop!" May shouted, as she saw the two Grunts walking away. "For crying out loud" said the female grunt. "They followed us". The male Grunt eyed me. "My name is Tabitha, and you will not interfere with our plans!" They had their Pokeballs at the ready and sent out a large blue Pokémon's with pink wings.

Golbat

064

Poison/Flying Type

Bat Pokémon's

5'03" (1.6 m)

121.3 lbs (55 kg)

Golbat loves to drink the blood of living things. It is particularly active in the pitch black of night. This Pokémon flits around in the night skies, seeking fresh blood.

Zubat -Lv 22 Golbat

"Attack them!" shouted Tabitha and both Golbat came down with a Wing Attack. The two of us braced for impact.

Just then, something red, blue and yellow with fangs came out of the waterfall and attacked one of the Golbat. Then another did the same thing to the other Golbat. I opened my Pokedex.

Carvanha

0907

Water/Dark Type

Savage Pokemon

2'07" (0.8 m)

45.9 lbs (20.8 kg)

If anything invades Carvanha's territory, it will swarm and tear at the intruder with its pointed fangs. On its own, however, this Pokémon turns suddenly timid.

"As if things couldn't get worse" said Tabitha. "I think it can" the female Grunt said as something bigger came out the water. It was dark blue and had a large fin with sharp teeth.

Sharpedo

098

Water/Dark Type

Brutal Pokémon

5'11" (1.8 m)

195.8 lbs (88.8 kg)

Nicknamed "the bully of the sea," Sharpedo is widely feared. Its cruel fangs grow back immediately if they snap off. Just one of these Pokémon can thoroughly tear apart a supertanker.

Carvanha -Lv 30 Sharpedo

On the Sharpedo was a man with a man with a blue bandana and a black suit complete with a small black beard. He jumped down. "So" he said, with the voice of a stereotypical pirate. "Team Magma. At it again." Two people, both males, came with him. One was a Team Aqua Grunt. The other was waring a blue jacket with no undershirt, but still had Aqua attire.

"Who are you?" May asked. "We are Team Aqua!" said the normal Grunt. "We are trying to put a stop to Team Magma's plans". The man in the black suit walked over to the Team Magma Grunts. "Archie" the male Magma Grunt said. "Can you stay out of our business?" At that comment, Archie smirked. This gradually turned into laughing. "No can-do landlubbers! We can't have you drying up the land now can we! Grunt! Matt! Now!"

Team Aqua sent out Golbat of their own to surround Team Magma. "Where is Maxie?" The two Magma's resisted. "Why should we well you?" Tabitha replied. The Golbat started edging the two Magma's towards the edge of the path, where Sharpedo was swimming underneath. "Because Sharpedo has missed it's breakfast."

Me and May ran up to Archie. "Archie this is not the way to do it!" May shouted. "We want to know where Maxie is to but threatening to end these guys lives is not how you learn it!" Archie scratched his chin. "Fine. You try then."

May thought and thought, and then put on a cocky face. "Why should we know where Maxie is?" she said. "After all, he is stupid." The Grunts were getting angry. "Take that back" Tabitha snarled. "No" May continued, as I slowly snuck into their pockets to retrieve the documents they had stolen. "You know, I think he is so stupid that he would give Giovanni a run for his money." The Magma's gasped. "You compare Maxie to that buffoon one more time". I told May to back off. "I will take back what I said, if you tell us where he is!" The Magma's gasped again. "Never!" they went for May, where they got a call.

"Meteor Falls unit, this is Maxie. Meet me up at the summit of Mt Chimney". Archie started grinning. "So that's where you are!" Maxie started yelling from the other end. "What do you mean?" Tabitha scratched his head. "Yeah, we have an Aqua problem. They might be here to foil us." Maxie was clearly angry. "Hurry then!" The Grunt's finished their call and ran out. "I'll go to Mt Chimney!" Archie said. "If you want to join, then join. But take your time." He ran out.

"Thank you so much" said the Scientist who was robbed. "I should introduce myself. I am Professor Takao Galileo Cozmo. I'm an astrologist". He took the documents off us and allowed us in. "Please, take these TMs for the move Return. The closer you are with your Pokémon's, the stronger the move is". We thanked him.

"One more thing" he said. "I should show you what the documents are about." He revealed a secret room. Inside it was a yellow Pokémon that looked like a star. It was sleeping

Jirachi

201

Steel/Psychic Type

Wish Pokémon

1'00" (0.3 m)

2.4 lbs (1.1 kg)

Jirachi will awaken from its sleep of a thousand years if you sing to it in a voice of purity. It is said to make true any wish that people desire.

Legendary Pokémon

"Try not to wake it" May told me. "It won't wake up for a couple hundred years" Professor Cozmo told us. "I will allow you each to make a wish." We closed out eyes and made it. I told May that I wished that Team Magma would be stopped. "Wait, we're not allowed to tell are we" May told me. "Relax" Cozmo told us. "Your wish will come true if you have a pure heart". I asked May what her wish was. "It's a secret" she winked.

"The results are in!" May had just wrapped up her first Contest, Basic Rank Cute. I decided to pass out on this one and me and Shannon watched from the audience. "But only one can be the winner!" The lights danced around the stage and shined on Mary and her Skitty, SkiSki. May looked a bit sad. I could tell that even when not under the light.

"That didn't go do well" May said. "Oh no, what if Dad was right! He watched me lose, I know it." I told May that maybe he missed the broadcast. "I watched every minute of it." We turned around to see Professor Birch. "Dad!" May said in shock. "May. What did I tell you about entering Contests?" May started crying. "I made a fool of myself"

Just then, we heard footsteps. "No you didn't" It was Rudy. "This is a family matter, stay out of this!" Professor Birch told him. There was no need for that.

"Professor Birch. There is no such thing as losing. There is only not winning. Take from that what you will. I should state that we have had people not win 8 times in a row but they are still congratulated." Birch thought for a minute. "I guess if you want to continue then I shouldn't be a nuisance to your journey." May thanked him. "Tell you what. I came here by car. I'll drop you two off at Mauville City."

When we got back to Mauville, Birch stopped me. "A little present". He gave me a weird device. "This is an Exp share. Give this to a Pokémon and they will receive a fraction of Exp that was earned by the current Pokémon." With that, he drove off.

That night, May was thinking. "They said they were on top of Mt Chimney" she said, looking at it from the window. "But the lift was closed. How did they get up?"
