Ash's Pokemon Journey
Summary: This story is about how I think that ash's journey should have gone through, Kanto, Orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova. Smart, a psychic and an Aura user (He'll find out about being a psyphic and Aura user later). I do not own pokemon.
Note: I am not doing the Kalos Region. So fairy pokemon don't exist.
Chapter 42
The Sumo Competition, the Electric Company and the cunning Smeargle and Kecleon
The gang were still on their way to Olivine City. At the moment they came to a village named Rikishii Town. "This is a nice looking village," said Misty "it also looks like what Japan used to look like four hundred years ago". Just then something caught Tomo's eyes; it was a big blue pokemon that looked like an Alligator. "What's that pokemon?" he asked. "Wow, that's a Feraligatr the final evolved form of Totodile" said Ash.
Ash looked at Feraligatr on the pokedex: Feraligatr, the Big Jaw Pokémon. The final evolved form of Totodile. Once a Feraligatr has clamped its powerful jaws around an opponent, it won't let go until the opponent is defeated.
"I can't wait for my Totodile to evolve into that pokemon" said Misty, dreamily. "Neither can I" said Ash.
At that time Feraligatr was fighting a Nidoking, but neither of them was using attacks at each other. In fact what they were just doing was wrestling each other. "It looks like the pokemon are sumo wrestling" said Ash. Just then Feraligatr tossed Nidoking to the ground, gaining a win. Then Feraligatr sumo wrestled with some other pokemon one after another; a Heracross and a Granbull. "Wow that Feraligatr is really strong" said Misty. "Yeah and after all that battling it's done so far, it looks like it wants to battle some more" said Brock.
Two men were with Feraligatr. The first man was Feraligatr's trainer, named Raiden, and the other man was an old man named Shonosuke. "You've done very well Feraligatr," said Raiden, "let's take a break now". "Your Feraligatr has become much stronger Raiden" said Shonosuke. "I plan to win the king's rock Shonosuke" said Raiden.
Just then the gang walked up and introduced themselves to Raiden and Shonosuke. Raiden explained that in Rikishii Town they held a pokemon sumo tournament, called the sumo conference, once a year. "Trainers here train their pokemon all the time like me to compete in the sumo conference" said Raiden. Shonosuke explained that he was the director of the pokemon sumo society. He also explained that pokemon sumo wrestling was when two pokemon battled each other, using only their physical strength. The pokemon had to be the heavy type to enter; otherwise no one could enter it. It was also forbidden for the pokemon to use any attacks like flamethrower, ice beam, focus punch, thunderbolt etc. The winner would receive a king's rock. "Why have a king's rock for a prize?" asked Ash. "Because the king's rock looks like a crown," said Shonosuke "and it makes trainer and pokemon, who win it, feel proud because of all the training they've done to gain it". Ash asked Shonosuke if it was too late to enter now. "No if you want to enter Ash, you may" said Shonosuke. "But you've never entered a pokemon sumo match before" said Misty. "True, but when it comes to battles, I'm always up for the challenge," said Ash, and anyway I do have a pokemon that would like to enter this. Besides I don't that she would forgive me if I didn't let her enter something like this". "I think you may be right about that Ash actually" said Misty. Tomo and Brock agreed; Misty, Brock and Tomo knew exactly what pokemon Ash was talking about.
Ash and the gang went to the pokemon center, where everyone was registering for the pokemon sumo conference, to call Prof Oak. Ash explained about the pokemon sumo conference to Prof Oak and asked him to send Kangaskhan to him. "I understand Ash," said Prof Oak "so what pokemon will you send to me?" "Furret" replied Ash. So Ash sent his Furret to Prof Oak, and Prof Oak sent Ash's Kangaskhan to him. Kangaskhan and her baby were happy to see Ash again and gave him a hug at once. "I'm happy to see you too girls" said Ash. He explained to Kangaskhan about the pokemon sumo conference, which made her excited because she liked to fight, and then they signed up for the conference.
Soon the pokemon sumo conference was about to begin soon. The pokemon that were entering, apart from Feraligatr and Kangaskhan, were Golem, Rhydon, Blastoise, Lickitung, Heracross, Poliwrath, Machamp, Ursaring, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Quagsire, Golduck, Granbull and Ursaring. Shonosuke explained the rules and about what the winner would get. Apart from a king's rock, the winner would also receive a year supply of pokemon food. "Now best of luck to all of you, and may the best pokemon win" said Shonosuke.
Soon the pokemon sumo conference began. The first match was between an Ursaring and a Nidoqueen. The pokemon charged at each other each and were trying to push one another out of the ring. "Pokemon sumo wrestling looks more rough and tough than I thought it would be" said Tomo. "Yeah and from the looks of things," said Brock "trying to push a heavy opponent out of the ring is pretty difficult". In the end, Nidoqueen won the first match.
Next up was Raiden's turn. His Feraligatr was up against a Golem. "Golem is heavier than Feraligatr," said Brock "so it may turn out difficult for Feraligatr". "Don't forget though Brock," said Ash "Raiden has trained his Feraligatr a lot for this tournament. So I wouldn't underestimate it yet". Feraligatr and Golem were trying to push one another out of the ring like crazy. Just then Raiden told Feraligatr to step back a bit; once Feraligatr did that Golem fell over a bit. Then Raiden told Feraligatr to strike; Feraligatr hit Golem hard on the head and then Golem collapsed out of the ring, giving Feraligatr the win. "Wow," gasped Ash "they both used their strength and weaknesses. That's what we have to do too".
After a few more rounds, it was finally Ash's and Kangaskhan's turn. Their opponent was a Poliwrath. Kangaskhan's baby was sitting next to Pikachu on the bench with Brock, Misty and Tomo. Poliwrath charged at Kangaskhan to try and push her over, but Kangaskhan grabbed Poliwrath's arm and tossed it out of the ring. Poliwrath's trainer and the referee were surprised about what just happened. Ash, Misty and Brock was surprised with that too. "I know Kangaskhan is strong," said Misty "but that was unbelievable". "Yeah, especially since Poliwrath would normally have the advantage of a Kangaskhan" said Brock. Tomo, who was not in surprise mode, explained that Kangaskhan used to wrestle with the other Kangaskhan back at the safari zone. "Why am I not surprised by that?" said Misty. Raiden and Shonosuke were impressed with Ash's Kangaskhan.
Now it was the semi-finals matches, Raiden was up against a Blastoise. "Wow, I can't wait to see what will happen with Feraligatr and Blastoise" said Misty. Feraligatr and Blastoise were going at each other like crazy; pushing and tossing each other to try and get one or the other out of the ring. Then at last with one big effort, Feraligatr managed to toss Blastoise out of the ring. "That battle was sweet" said Misty. Kangaskhan started to move her arms up and down. "You want to battle with Feraligatr, don't you Kangaskhan?" asked Ash. Kangaskhan said yes. "We'll need to win our match first, and then we will fight Feraligatr" replied Ash. Ash and Kangaskhan's opponent was a Machamp. Like the last match, Kangaskhan easily tossed Machamp out of the ring, like it was nothing.
It was now time for Ash and Raiden to face each other in the finals. "I'm surprised that you and Kangaskhan have made it this far Ash," said Raiden "but I won't be going easy on you here". "I won't be going easy going you either" replied Ash. "I can't wait to see the results from both of you," said Shonosuke "now is time for both of you to give it your all".
Kangaskhan and Feraligatr were ready to fight each other. "Don't underestimate Feraligatr Kangaskhan," said Ash "it has fought in a lot of battles like you have". The fight was now on and Kangaskhan and Feraligatr started to go at each other like crazy. Feraligatr started to charge at Kangaskhan, but Ash told her to dodge and Feraligatr kept on missing her. "Sorry Raiden," said Ash "but Kangaskhan has practiced her speed a lot in the past". "Then watch this Ash," replied Raiden "Feraligatr show them your speed". Feraligatr charged at Kangaskhan again and started to try pushing her out of the ring. "Stand your ground!" shouted Ash. Kangaskhan stomped her left leg and then managed to push Feraligatr back. "That Kangaskhan is impressive," said Raiden "but this ends now. Let's go Feraligatr". Feraligatr and Kangaskhan went at each other again; this time they tried to toss each other. Kangaskhan roared and stomped her feet again. She was stomping her feet so hard that the ground shook a little, and Feraligatr went off guard from the shake. "Now's our chance Kangaskhan," said Ash "push Feraligatr out of the ring". With one big effort, Kangaskhan managed to push Feraligatr out of the ring. "Kangaskhan is the new champion!" said the referee.
So Ash and Kangaskhan won the pokemon sumo conference. Ash and Kangaskhan hugged each other, happy of their victory. The baby Kangaskhan joined in the hug too. Raiden congratulated Ash of his victory and so did Tomo, Brock and Misty. "You were awesome big brother!" cheered Tomo. "Kangaskhan was great too" said Brock. "I'm happy for the both of you" said Misty. Shonosuke declared Ash the winner of the pokemon sumo conference and congratulated him. Next he presented Ash the king's rock for his victory and the year supply of pokemon food.
Ash was happy because the king's rock was now part of his collection of evolutionary items. Nurse Joy presented the year supply of pokemon food; the pokemon food was in a total of a fourteen boxes. "What shall we do with the pokemon food?" asked Misty "I mean we can't carry all of this with us". "I know," said Brock "we'll keep a few boxes for ourselves, and give the rest away". Ash, Misty and Tomo agreed with that plan. Before they decided what to do, Ash gave Kangaskhan and her baby some of the pokemon food because they were hungry and they deserved it too, and then he sent them back to Prof Oak's lab. In the end; the gang kept three boxes of pokemon food, three boxes were sent to Cerulean Gym, another three were sent to Pewter Gym and the rest were sent to Prof Oak's lab.
With the pokemon sumo conference taken care of, the gang said goodbye to Raiden and Shonosuke, and left Rikishii Town to continue their journey to Olivine City.
Today the gang had come to a pretty green area. It was breezy in that area; a wind power generator was nearby and there were lots of windmills that made electricity about. "I think this is a good place to relax" said Brock. Ash, Tomo and Misty agreed. "We've been through a lot lately," said Misty "se we deserve a rest". This was true; the gang had been through a lot on their way to Olivine City. But they had been through one surprise along the journey; Brock's Golbat evolved into its final form Crobat. Ash let out all of his pokemon to relax and enjoy the fresh air. The six pokemon he had with him, apart from Pikachu, were Mareep, Chikorita, Togetic, Totodile and Houndour.
But trouble was around. Some punk teenagers were around the area. There were five of them and all of them had dark purple hair. Their leader was the tallest and he was called Spike, mainly because of his spiky hair. The second punk kid was a bit shorter than Spike and was called Scruff, mainly because of his scruffy hair. The third punk kid was short and fat and hardly had any hair at all. He was called Spuds. There were two girls as well; one with long hair and one with short hair, and they were twin sisters. The long haired girl was Selina and the other Camilla. The punk kids were hanging around the wind power generator and they came to a building. "Why are we here Spike?" asked Spud. "Because electric pokemon live in this building Spud," Spike answered "and we are going to grab them for ourselves. Now get your pokeballs ready everyone, because its pokemon nabbing time". The building had an electric lock on it, which would only open with a card. "Leave this to me" said Selina. She had a purse with her and she pulled out a card. "What card is that?" asked Scruff. "A card that I swiped from an electric company employee some time ago" replied Selina. "Trust you to be able to do that sister," said Camilla "after all you have always been good at swiping things". Selina put the card through the electric lock and the door opened. "Come on gang," said Spike "time to get the electric pokemon". The punk kids went inside and they left the door open, so that they would easily leave once they were done.
Meanwhile the gang were about to set up lunch and Ash and Chikorita and Mareep went to look for firewood. Just then Ash saw the building, with the door open. "There must be people working in there," said Ash "better not go in there, otherwise we may run into trouble". So he and his pokemon went back to looking for firewood.
At that time the punks ran into some of the electric pokemon in the building; some Magnemite. Scruff released a Charmeleon from a pokeball and ordered it to use flamethrower on Magnemite. Since Magnemite was also a steel type pokemon, as well as an electric type, Charmeleon's flamethrower made all the Magnemite faint. "That was easy" smirked Scruff. "Spud got the cages ready?" asked Spike. "Sure do Spike, they're right here" answered Spud. He had some metal cages on some trolleys with him. The punk kids placed the defeated Magnemite into the cages. "Since Magnemite are here, my guess is Magneton may be in here," said Camilla "whenever you see Magnemite, you would see Magneton as well". "There are supposed to be a lot of different electric pokemon here," said Spike "so there's no doubt that Magneton will be one of them. Now we keep on going".
At that time Ash, Mareep and Chikorita were still looking for firewood, when suddenly Mareep started to run back to the building. "Hey Mareep, what's wrong?" said Ash. He and Chikorita ran after Mareep to the building. Mareep ran straight inside the building. "Something wrong must be happening in there" Ash said to Chikorita. He and Chikorita entered the building to call out to Mareep. But then the door closed on them. "The wind must have done that" said Ash. The door was now locked and Ash and Chikorita couldn't get out again. "Oh no," he said "I better call for help". He started to bang on the door to call out to Tomo, Brock and Misty.
Pikachu heard Ash's call for help and ran off to where he was. Tomo, Misty and Brock noticed this and thought that Ash might be in trouble. They ran to the building. "Ash, are you in there?" asked Brock. "Yes I am" replied Ash. Ash explained about Mareep running into the building. "I fear that trouble may be brewing in this building," said Ash "which is why I'm going to look for Mareep; she might be in trouble". "Be careful Ash," said Brock "if there is trouble in this building, you may end up in trouble too". "Okay, let's go find Mareep, Chikorita" replied Ash, and then he and Chikorita ran off to search for Mareep. "We better call someone from the electric company to get the door open" said Brock. "We better get the police too," said Misty "just in case trouble is in there". "Oh, I do hope that big brother will be okay" said Tomo, worriedly. "Don't worry Tomo," said Brock "Ash will be fine". Then Brock went to find a phone booth to call for help.
Meanwhile the punk kids had walked farer and farer into the building. They now had some Magneton in their cages, as well as Magnemite, and right now they had run into some Voltorb and Electrode. Spud sent out a Golem to battle them, and Golem knocked the Voltorb and Electrode out with a combination of rollout and tackle. "Wow, we are hitting the jackpot here" said Spud. "Not yet we are," said Spike "I've heard that an Electabuzz is in this building too. Once we get that Electabuzz, we will hit the jackpot then". "Got it Spike" said Spud.
At that time Mareep was still running around the building. She knew that something was occurring in the building, and she wanted to know what was going on. Just then Mareep saw some Elekids. Mareep spoke to them, saying that she felt trouble was occurring in the building. The Elekids told Mareep that intruders were in the building, and they were trapping the electric pokemon in the building. Mareep thought that was awful and offered to help them. So both Mareep and the Elekids ran off together to fight the intruders.
Right now the punk kids had found the control room. Once they opened the door, they found Electabuzz. Electabuzz started to charge its electricity to force them to leave. "So we've finally found" smiled Spike. He took out a pokeball and released a Nidoking. Electabuzz charged at Nidoking. "Use dynamic punch Nidoking" said Spike. Nidoking's fist glowed white and then Nidoking punched Electabuzz. "Now use mega horn". Nidoking's horn glowed white and then Nidoking stabbed Electabuzz good with his horn. Electabuzz fainted. Scruff and Spud placed the Electabuzz into a cage. Spike looked at their capture of the Magnemite, Magneton, Voltorb, Electrode and Electabuzz. "I think this is enough," he said "it's time we left now". "Got it Spike" said the rest of the gang together.
While that was going on, Ash and Chikorita were still searching for Mareep. "Oh boy," sighed Ash "this place has so many twist and turns, it's like a labyrinth in here. It's going to be tricky trying to find Mareep". Just then he and Chikorita found Mareep, with the Elekids, in a corridor. "Finally we found you Mareep". Mareep was happy to see her trainer and ran up to him. "What's going on Mareep?" Mareep spoke to Ash. "I see, intruders have invaded this building and are taking the electric pokemon that work here," said Ash "well they aren't getting away with it. Come on Mareep and Chikorita, let's go after these crooks and set the electric pokemon free. Elekid show us the way to the invaders". And the Elekids did.
Meanwhile, Tomo, Misty and Brock were waiting for someone from the electric company to turn up and open the door. "I wish they hurry up and get here," said Tomo "I'm worried about big brother". Just then a car drove up, and a woman stepped out. "I'm the head of security and I'm sorry if I took so long" said the woman. "Oh don't worry," replied Misty "we are just glad you are here at last". The gang explained to the woman what had happened. "Hmm, I understand," said the woman "and I think I might know what trouble is brewing in the building. There have been reports about punk kids being around lately, and these kids cause trouble all the time". "Oh no," said Misty, worriedly, "I hope they haven't done anything to Ash yet". "I called the police and they should be arriving soon" said Brock. The woman got out a card and unlocked the door. "Come on, let's go" she said, and she and the kids went inside.
Right now the punk kids were getting ready to leave the building. The cages with the electric pokemon were on trolleys and all of the punk kids were pushing them. Spike was pushing the cage with Electabuzz. Scruff was pushing the trolley with Voltorb. Spud was pushing the cage with Electrode. Selina was pushing the cage with Magnemite. Camilla was pushing the cage with Magneton. "Where will we be heading next Spike?" asked Spud. Spud looked thoughtful. "We will take these pokemon to our hideout first," he said "then we will decide where to strike next".
They were just about to head back to the door they came through, when suddenly they were stopped by an electric bolt. "What was that?!" demanded Spike. Ash, Mareep, Chikorita and the Elekids appeared in front of them. "You aren't taking the electric pokemon anywhere!" shouted Ash. "Beat it kid," said Scruff "we don't have the time to deal with you". "No way," said Ash "I'm not leaving until you release the electric pokemon". "Very well kid," said Spike "everyone release the pokemon". The punk kids released their pokemon from their pokeballs. Scruff had a Primeape and Camilla had an Arbok. "Attack that kid and those puny pokemon" said Spike. Nidoking, Primeape, Golem, Charmeleon and Arbok started to charge at Ash and the pokemon. "Okay then, Mareep, Chikorita and Elekids, attack those pokemon together" said Ash. Chikorita used her razor leaf on Golem. Mareep used thunderbolt on Arbok. The Elekids used various attacks on Nidoking, Primeape and Charmeleon. But the pokemon were not beaten yet. "Okay all of you, let's finish off these punk kids now!" said Ash. Chikorita and Mareep agreed with that.
Suddenly Chikorita and Mareep started to glow. "They are evolving" gasped Ash. Chikorita evolved to Bayleef and Mareep evolved into Flaffy. "Oh wow," said Ash "okay Bayleef, use your razor leaf on the cages". When Bayleef flung her leafs at the cages, the cages broke and the electric pokemon were free. "No!" shouted Spike "grrr you will pay for that brat!"
Suddenly the woman, Tomo, Misty and Brock arrived at the scene. "Ash are you okay?" asked Misty. "I'm fine" said Ash. Tomo, Brock and Misty saw Bayleef and Flaffy and they were surprised by the evolutions. The woman saw the punk kids. "You kids are now in big trouble" she said. She and Ash attacked the kid's pokemon again with Bayleef, Flaffy and Electabuzz. The kid's pokemon fainted at once. Then the woman told the Magneton to use thunder wave on the punk kids. That way the kids would be paralyzed and unable to escape. "Now these punk kids won't be causing trouble anymore" said the woman.
Soon Officer Jenny and some other police were on the scene. The punk kids were handcuffed and put into the police cars at once, and their pokemon were taken away from them. "I thank you so much for helping us catch Spike and his gang," said Officer Jenny "my cousins and I have been after them for months, and now they will be getting a very long timeout". "Serves them right," said Ash "and I don't feel a bit sorry for them". "Neither do I" said Misty.
With the punk kids taken care off, the gang now continued on their journey to Olivine City.
The gang was getting close to Olivine City, but they still had some more walking to do to get there. Suddenly an enormous blimp flew over them. "Wow, look at that" said Misty. "I've never seen anything like it" said Brock. "It's huge!" said Tomo. "Let's check it out" said Ash. The blimp was flying over to the air station, not far from where the gang was, so the gang headed over to the air station.
Once the gang made it at the air station, the blimp started to land to get refueled. A lot of other people were at the air station too, all wanting to have a look at the blimp. "This blimp is awesome" said Ash. "I wonder what it carries" said Brock. A man at the air station explained that the blimp was called the Blue May and it carried people all around the world. The blimp was also like a five star luxury hotel because it had lots of luxury suites, restaurants and a theatre inside. "Oh wow," said Misty "I would love to see what it's like inside".
Just then a staff member of the blimp came out of the blimp. "Please excuse me," he said to the crowd of people "is there a pokemon doctor here? We have two pokemon on board that need help". The gang walked up to the man. "What's wrong with the pokemon?" asked Brock. "They seem to feeling sick," said the man "and we don't have a pokemon doctor on board, and the nearest pokemon center is in Olivine City". "You can leave it to me," said Brock "I'm studying to become a pokemon doctor and I have a lot of medicine supplies on me". The man was delighted and let the gang aboard the blimp at once.
The inside of the blimp was like a big mansion hall. "Wow, its more glamorous inside than it is outside the blimp" said Misty "it must be nice travelling in something like this". At the receptionist of the blimp, two beautiful women were waiting for the man. The man introduced the women to Brock, who would help their pokemon. The women introduced themselves as Madison and Alexa, and they were sisters. "Thank you for coming" said Madison. "Yeah our poor pokemon haven't been feeling well since last night" said Alexa. "No problem," said Brock "I'll make your pokemon well again in no time. So where are they?" Madison and Alexa turned to a big flower pot with a plant in it. "Come on out Arty," said Madison "someone is here to make you feel better". "You too Greeny" said Alexa.
A beige and brown colored pokemon, with a green tipped tail, came out from behind the flower pot. Then a green and yellow pokemon, with a red stripe on its tummy, appeared in front of the flower pot. "This Smeargle is my pokemon, Arty" said Maddison. "And this Kecleon is my pokemon, Greeny" said Alexa.
Ash looked at Smeargle and Kecleon on the pokedex: Smeargle, the painter pokemon. A special fluid oozes from the tip of its tail. It paints the fluid everywhere to mark its territory. Kecleon, the colour swap pokemon. It can freely change its body's colour. The zigzag pattern on its belly doesn't change, however.
"They are nice pokemon," said Brock "how did they become feeling sick?" Maddison and Alexa explained that last night it was very windy and the blimp kept on swaying side to side, and it was then that Arty and Greeny began to feel sick. "Ah it's just a case of air sickness," said Brock "but not to worry, I have a remedy for that with me". Brock took out a jar from his backpack, took out two pills from the jar and gave them to Arty and Greeny. Arty and Greeny started to feel better in no time. "Now they just need to take a good nap and then they will be right as rain again" said Brock. Maddison and Alexa were grateful o Brock, and asked him and the rest of the gang to have some lunch with them in the restaurant of the blimp. "Is it okay though?" asked Misty "I mean won't this blimp be leaving again soon?" "Don't worry," said the man "we won' be taking off again for a while, so you can have some lunch here". So the gang accepted Maddison and Alexa's invitation; besides it wouldn't be every day that they would get the chance of having a meal in a luxurious blimp. Maddison and Alexa asked the man to take Arty and Greeny back to their room, for a nap, and the man did.
But something suspicious was happening inside the Blue May. Two men in uniform were patrolling their way through the suite rooms. These men were not really staff members of the Blue May; they were really burglars, steeling valuable stuff from the rooms. "Good thing we managed to find uniforms on this blimp, and disguise ourselves as attendants" said one of them. "That's the best thing to do when stealing," said the other man "that way we will get away with it after stealing from these rooms". "Since all of these passengers are all wealthy," said the first man "there's no doubt there's lots of precious things to take like very fine jewelry and money". "And arts and other valuable stuff like that" said the other. "Exactly," said the first "now let's start looking for valuables". The two men started to sneak into the rooms.
Meanwhile the gang was enjoying a delicious meal with Maddison and Alexa. "This has got to be the best meal that I have ever eaten" said Ash. "I second that," said Misty "you don't get to eat exquisite food like this anywhere else". Just then an announcement was heard from some speakers. "Attention all passengers," it said "there have been reports of robbery lately. Please keep all your valuables out of sight and report to a staff member at once if you see anything or anyone suspicious". "Oh dear," said Maddison "I hope they haven't taken my jewelry". "Or mine" said Alexa. The sisters and the gang finished off their meal quick, and then set off for the sister's room.
Meanwhile the two burglars had just got into Maddison's and Alexa's room. They had already nicked some stuff from the other rooms, and had their loot in a bag. Right now they were aiming for Maddison's stuff and Alexa's stuff. Arty and Greeny heard them enter, but kept themselves out of sight. Arty hid under the bed and Greeny blended in with the wall. The two burglars found Maddison's and Alexa's boxes of jewelry. There were necklaces, earrings and rings in them. "Wow this lot will make us rich" said the second burglar. "Okay we better leave now," said the first "otherwise we will get found out". They were just about to leave the room, when suddenly a very long tongue grabbed the jewelry boxes. It was Greeny; Greeny had used its lick attack to grab the jewelry boxes. "Hey give those back!" demanded the first burglar. Just then Arty came out from the bed, splashed its paint onto the burglars, and then both Arty and Greeny dashed off with the jewelry boxes. The two burglars ran after them.
Right now the two sisters and the gang were heading for the suites. At the moment a lot of people were reporting to some staff their some of their belongings had been taken. "There must be some burglars on this blimp" said Misty. "If there are we better go after them, before they steal anymore stuff" said Brock. Ash, Tomo and Misty agreed with that.
Suddenly Arty and Greeny ran up to the gang and sisters. "Arty, Greeny," said Maddison "what are you two doing here?" Arty and Greeny gave their owners their jewelry boxes. "Was someone trying to take these?" asked Alexa. Arty and Greeny nodded. "The burglars must be nearby" said Ash. Sure enough they were; they had been chasing Arty and Greeny and had just arrived in the hall. An attendant saw them. "Wait a second, you two aren't part of our staff" he said. The burglars turned to run away. "Oh no you don't, you thieves!" shouted Ash. He released Bayleef and told her to use vine whip to trap the burglars. Bayleef trapped the burglars in her vines at once. "Now we've got you" said Ash. The attendant called for the police at once.
Soon Officer Jenny and her men arrived and the two burglars were arrested. The loot they had stolen were given back to their rightful owners. "Thank goodness you managed to catch those guys," said Officer Jenny "I have been after those two for ages. They sneak into luxurious hotels and other places to steal from wealthy people". "Well it's thanks to Arty and Greeny," said Ash "I mean we wouldn't have run into them if it wasn't for their clever thinking". "Then they are a very clever Smeargle and Kecleon" said Officer Jenny. Maddison and Alexa agreed with that. Officer Jenny thanked them again and left with the police and burglars. Maddison and Alexa thanked the gang too.
Soon the Blue May was refueled and stocked and was ready to take off again. Ash, Tomo, Misty and Brock said goodbye to Maddison and Alexa, and continued on their way to Olivine City, while the Blue May started to fly away. "You know," said Ash "I do like flying and all, but I prefer travelling by foot. I mean in the sky you don't see what you get to see on land". "I agree with that," said Brock "besides you see more people and pokemon on land than you do in the air". "Yeah and when you are on your feet, you don't get air sick" said Misty. "I prefer seeing things on the ground too" said Tomo. So it was agreed; the gang preferred to travel on foot than on any other way of transport.
I always found it weird how Snorlax won with his big tummy to win the Sumo conference. I decided to use Kangaskhan. I don't know what the gang would have done with the food, if Snorlax did eat it all, so I made it up myself. I used Smeargle for Maddison because I saw a pokemon chronicles episode about a Smeargle and Kecleon working together to outsmart other pokemon. The punk kids and the two burglars in the blimp are my own characters. I've heard crime stories about punks breaking into buildings to take things and cause trouble, and about burglars breaking into big places to steal valuable items, so I decided to use that in this chapter. Totodile and Cyndaquil will evolve into Croconaw and Quilava a bit later, and they will all evolve into their final forms.
