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 and Mega Evolutions don't exist.

Chapter 77

The Evolution fight

Aquadome Contest and

Glacia

Today the gang were travelling across the ocean on a ferry. Brock told the others that they were heading towards three islands called the A-B-C Islands. The islands were called the A-B-C because they were three islands grouped together. Brock also said that they were going to Island A, because it was the only island of the three with a pokemon center. It seemed to be a nice peaceful day for the gang, but the peace didn't last for long.

Some kids were racing each other in the ocean and they were riding on two different types of water pokemon. One water pokemon was a blue serpent like pokemon with orange fins and designs and a big mouth with big sharp teeth. This was called a Huntail. The other one was a pink serpent like pokemon with two long thin fins (one on the head and one below the head), a purple fin on the tail and two purple shells on the chest. This one was called a Gorebyss.

Ash looked at Huntail on his pokedex: Huntail, the deep sea pokemon. The evolved form of Clamperl. It lives deep in the sea. With a tail shaped like a small fish, it attracts unsuspecting prey.

May looked at Gorebyss on her pokedex. Gorebyss, the south sea pokemon. The evolved form of Clamperl. It lives at the bottom of the sea. In the springtime, its pink body turns more vivid for some reason.

"Wow, so both of those pokemon evolve from Clamperl?" said Max.

Tomo looked at Clamperl on the pokedex: Clamperl, the bivalve pokemon. It makes a single pearl during its lifetime. The pearl is said to amplify psychic power.

"So it's a branch evolution like Poliwhirl's evolutions and Eevee's evolutions huh?" said Ash. The gang noticed that the kids were arguing and in a hurry to get to Island A. "I wonder what those kids are in a hurry about" said Ash.

Soon the gang got to Island A, and to the pokemon center. Nurse Joy told the gang that since her pokemon center on Island A was the only pokemon center, the people on Island B and C had to transport their pokemon to her by a transporter. Suddenly there was a lot of shouting coming from another room in the pokemon center. "Oh not again" sighed Nurse Joy. The shouting was from some children and they were arguing about Huntail or Gorebyss being better than the other. Nurse Joy told them to stop arguing and get back to their studies. Apparently the pokemon center was also a school and kids from Island B and C attended it.

Max asked why and what the kids were arguing about. Nurse Joy explained that swarms of Clamperl lived around the A-B-C Islands and for some reason Clamperl end up evolving into Huntail on Island C and Clamperl evolved into Gorebyss on Island B. "Because of that the people from Islands B and C keep on arguing with each other about Gorebyss or Huntail being better than the other". "Say no more Nurse Joy," said Ash "Tomo, Brock and I have heard something like this before". "Ash is right;" said Brock "we have heard about people arguing over the different Eevee evolutions, over Poliwhirl with Poliwrath and Politoed and over Gloom with Vileplume and Bellossom". "And over Tyrogue with Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan and Hitmontop don't forget that" said Tomo. "I see," said Nurse Joy "and what do you three say about this?"

Ash was about to answer Nurse Joy's question when suddenly they saw a surprise. The surprise was Prof Birch talking to some kids outside the pokemon center. The gang couldn't believe that they were seeing Prof Birch again, and of course Prof Birch was surprised to see the gang again. "What brings you here professor?" asked Nurse Joy. "I came here to investigate on the evolutions of Clamperl" answered Prof Birch. "I must ask, how do Clamperl evolve into Huntail or Gorebyss?" asked May. "I can answer that" said Ash. He opened up his back pack and took out two objects from it. One object was a grey tooth shaped fang and the other object was a pink scale. "Aren't those things a deep sea tooth and a deep sea scale?" asked Max. "Yep," said Ash "I got these from an old man back when we were in Slateport City. The old man also told me that a deep sea tooth makes Clamperl evolve into Huntail and a deep sea scale makes Clamperl evolve into a Gorebyss. But the Clamperl have to be traded while holding the items to make them evolve". "That is correct Ash," said Prof Birch "I think I should make you my assistant when I'm travelling for research". Ash then had a thought. "Nurse Joy you said that Clamperl evolve into Gorebyss on Island B and that Clamperl evolve into Huntail on Island C right?" he said. "That's right I did" answered Nurse Joy. "Then maybe there are deep sea teeth located at Island C and deep sea scales over at Island B" said Ash. "I think you may be right Ash," said Prof Birch "so I should head over to those two islands right away to see if the theory is correct". Ash and the gang asked to come too and Prof Birch agreed.

Just then a boy and a girl came up to the gang. The boy was called Keith and the girl was called Nancy. "I want to come too" said Keith. "And me" said Nancy. Keith and Nancy explained that they both had a Clamperl each and they wanted to evolve them. "I see so you two want to see how your Clamperls will evolve, right" said Prof Birch. "Yes" said Keith and Nancy together. So Prof Birch and the gang agreed to let Keith and Nancy join them.

The first stop was at Island B. The group went into an underground cave. In the cave there was a big pool of water, with a little waterfall. "This is a nice cave to explore" said Prof Birch. Just then some clam like pokemon jumped out of the pool; these pokemon were Clamperl. "So it seems that Clamperl live in the underground caves around the A-B-C Islands" said Brock. "That's correct," said Keith "this cave is where I got my Clamperl from". "And I got my Clamperl from the cave on Island C" said Nancy. "So then where are the deep sea teeth or the deep sea scales then?" asked Max. "I don't know, but I know how we can find them" said Prof Birch.

Prof Birch had a brown bag on him and he took out two metal rod things. "This item finder of mine should do the trick" he said. Prof Birch held out the item finder and then the rod pointed out to the pool; this meant that the deep sea teeth or deep sea scales were probably in the pool. Prof Birch, Keith, Nancy and the gang started to search for deep sea scales in the pool, and in no time at all they did find some deep sea scales. "So Ash's theory about Island B was right," said Prof Birch "deep sea scales are only located here which explains about Clamperl only evolving into Gorebyss here". "Do you think there's a chance that my theory about Island C is right too?" asked Ash. "There is only one way to find that out Ash" said Prof Birch.

To see if Ash's theory about Island C was right, everyone headed there next. Like Island B, Island C had an underground cave with a big pool of water and of course there were Clamperl living there too. Prof Birch checked with his item finder again to see if any deep sea teeth were around. And there was. Prof Birch claimed that Ash's theory about deep sea teeth being located at Island C was right, which explained about Clamperl evolving into Huntail.

Suddenly a small grey pig like pokemon, with a springy tail, jumped towards the Clamperl. "That's a Spoink" said Prof Birch.

Ash looked at Spoink on the pokedex: Spoink, the bounce pokemon. The pre-evolved form of Grumpig. It bounces constantly, using its tail as a spring. The shock of bouncing keeps its heart beating.

"Hang on, that Spoink doesn't have a pearl on its head like it should do" said Max. "That must be the reason why it's here;" said Prof Birch "Spoinks get their pearls from Clamperl, so it's going to ask the Clamperls for a pearl". Prof Birch was right; the Spoink asked the Clamperl for a pearl.

One Clamperl was just about to give the Spoink a pearl, but then it and the other Clamperls were caught in a net. "What on earth?!" gasped Prof Birch. Three men appeared and they were carrying nets full of Clamperl. "Pretty good catch here," said the first man. "Yeah these will fetch a good price for sure" said the second man. "Especially their pearls" said the third man. "Who on earth are you three?!" demanded Prof Birch. The three men explained that they were Clamperl hunters, who captured Clamperls for their pearls. Prof Birch and the gang were not happy with this. "Release those Clamperl at once!" shouted Prof Birch. "No chance" said the second man.

The three men were about to start running off with the Clamperls, but then they got tackled. It was the Spoink. Spoink wasn't happy with what the men were doing either, so it was trying to stop them too by using bounce. "Get away from us you!" shouted the third man, and he kicked Spoink. Spoink ended up flying, but Ash caught it at once. "You okay?" Ash asked the Spoink. Ash was clearly not happy about this. He wanted to use Pikachu to attack, but if he did Pikachu could end up hitting the Clamperls with his electric attacks. "Leave this to me" said Tomo. He tossed a pokeball and out came a Poliwhirl. "Hey when did your Poliwag evolve Tomo?" asked Ash. "The other day when I was training some of my pokemon," smiled Tomo. He ordered Poliwhirl to use mega kick on the men; this was to teach the men to not kick pokemon. Poliwhirl kicked the men so hard, that they let go of the nets that carried the Clamperls. "Now knock those men out with hypnosis Poliwhirl" said Tomo. Poliwhirl's hypnosis attack put the men to asleep at once. "Great work there Tomo," said Prof Birch "I'll contact the police at once. And then we shall get to the pokemon center on Island A to have Spoink and the Clamperls checked out".

So, the three men got arrested by the police and Nurse Joy checked out Spoink and the Clamperls from Island C. "This was certainly quite a day," said Prof Birch "we solved a mystery behind the evolutions of Clamperl and Gorebyss and Huntail. And we captured a couple of crooks". There was still one more thing to sort out; Nancy and Keith hadn't evolved their Clamperls yet. Keith lived on Island B so he would have had a Gorebyss, and Nancy lived on Island C so she would have a Huntail. But Keith confessed that he wanted a Huntail because it was really cool, and Nancy confessed that she wanted a Gorebyss because it was really beautiful. Ash encouraged them to evolve their Clamperls into whatever they wanted. "What's important of evolving your pokemon is the happiness of you and your pokemon" he said. So Keith evolved his Clamperl into Huntail and Nancy evolved her Clamperl into Gorebyss.

That evening, the gang got ready to leave the A-B-C Islands by a ferry. Prof Birch decided going to stay behind a bit more to study the Clamperl, the Huntail and the Gorebyss. Nancy and Keith were happy with their new evolved pokemon, and because of what they did the people of the B and C islands had finally stopped their quarrelling. Nurse Joy informed the gang that the Clamperls were okay and so was the Spoink. The Spoink was standing next to Nurse Joy and it had a new pink pearl on the top of its head; a Clamperl gave its pearl to Spoink. "Good for you Spoink, now you won't need to worry about not having a pearl" said Ash. Just then the Spoink bounced into Ash's arms and nuzzled him. "You like me Spoink?" asked Ash. Spoink nodded to say yes; truth is Ash noticed that this Spoink was female and she liked Ash. So Ash caught the Spoink.

After that the gang said goodbye to Prof Birch and Nurse Joy, and left the A-B-C Islands.

Today the gang had come to an island called Aquadome Island. The island was called that because the island was famous for its many swimming pools and saunas and outdoor baths for tourists and a lot of water pokemon lived around the island. May of course wanted to check out the saunas, but the boys had to remind her why they came to Aquadome Island. There was to a pokemon contest being held there today, so the gang had no time to go to the pools or saunas until after the contest.

When the gang entered the contest hall to enter, a surprise was waiting there. Robert the pokemon coordinator that the gang met at Slateport City was there. "Hey Robert it has been a while" said Ash. "It certainly has Ash," said Robert "are you going to enter the pokemon contest here?" "Yes, both May and I are" answered Ash. "Well I hope that I will get to battle you again Ash" said Robert. Robert had hoped to battle Ash again ever since their battle at the Slateport Contest. The gang found out that Robert had four ribbons and needed one more for the grand festival. "It's not going to be easy to defeat Robert," said May "I remember how strong he was back at the Slateport City. "I do too," said Ash "but I have been training to be ready to go against him again, and the pokemon that I'll be using in this contest will defeat Robert". "What pokemon are you going to use Ash?" asked Brock. "It's a surprise" smiled Ash.

Soon the contest was about to begin. Tomo, Growlithe, Brock and Max were in the audience seats, while Ash and May were in the waiting room. Vivian did the normal introductions and showed off the Aquadome Ribbon. The Aquadome Ribbon was aqua green with white bubble shaped patterns and an aqua blue outline.

Robert went first in the appeal rounds. Instead of using his Milotic, he was using a black pokemon that looked like a mud statue. This pokemon was a Claydol, a ground and psychic pokemon. "Wow what a pokemon" said Max.

Tomo looked at Claydol on the pokedex: Claydol, the clay doll pokemon. The evolved form of Baltoy. An ancient clay figurine that came to life as a Pokémon from exposure to a mysterious ray of light.

Robert told his Claydol to start off with sandstorm and then he ordered Claydol to use rapid spin. The spinning of the rapid spin spun the sand round too. "Now use psychic Claydol" said Robert. While using psychic, Claydol rose into the air raising the sandy whirlpool as well and then Claydol made out looking like a statue on top of a sandy fountain. The audience loved it and the judges thought it was very clever. Robert got a 30.0 mark for it. "Robert is very good at this" said Tomo. "You're right," agreed Brock "I think Robert has what it takes to become a top coordinator". "I hope May and Ash will be all right when they have to battle him" said Max.

Soon it was May's turn. This time she was using her Marill. "Okay Marill let's start off with bubble beam" said May. Marill shot out a lot of blue bubbles. "Now use bounce". Marill started jumping around, in between, the bubbles and popping them. This was showing off Marill's adorableness. "Okay now finish off with aqua tail". Marills tail glowed blue and then Marill spun her tail around and a spiral of water spiralled around it. To finish it off, Marill hit the ground with aqua tail and then did a finishing pose. The audience liked the performance and so did the judges. May got a score of 28.9. "May's getting better at being a coordinator every time" said Tomo. "You're right, and that's because of all the new things she's learnt from the past contests" said Brock.

Ash was last. To everyone's surprise, Ash was using Latias this time. The audience and the judges were surprised to see a Latias, and the coordinators in the waiting room were surprised to know that Ash had a Latias. "Okay Latias fire a mist ball and then use dragon claw" said Ash. Latias fired a ball of mist into the air and then she slashed it with dragon claw. A mist started to cover the area. "Now use safeguard and fly around" said Ash. Latias glowed light blue and then she started to fly around in the mist. It was like watching a mysterious creature roaming around the mist. Then the mist cleared and Ash and Latias did a finishing pose together. The audience loved it, especially the judges. To them it was like seeing the mysterious side of a dragon pokemon. Ash got a score of 30.0.

In the waiting room Robert spoke with Ash. "I can't believe that you have a Latias Ash" he said. "I also have a Latios too," smiled Ash "I caught them sometime before I started my journey in Hoenn". Ash didn't intend to say anything about what happened in Alto mare; he had promised Bianca and Lorenzo that he would keep it a secret. "Why did you decide to use Latias Ash?" asked May. "Well Prof Oak told me that he and Tracey had been watching the pokemon contests on TV and Latias ended up watching them too," said Ash "and because of that Latias was desperate to participate in one. So that's why I decided to use her instead". "Got it" said May. Just then the results for the battle round were up. It was eight trainers that could enter the battle rounds and Robert, Ash and May were three of them. "Ash, May, I look forward for when I get to battle any of you" said Robert. "Same with me" said Ash. "And me" said May.

Ash, May and Robert easily defeated their opponents in the top 8 rounds, but when it came to the top 4 rounds Ash had to battle Robert and May faced another opponent. May was worried about Ash because Robert defeated Ash at the Slateport contest. But Ash told May not to worry because he believed that Latias could defeat Robert's Claydol.

It was now time for Ash and Robert to battle and Latias and Claydol were ready to fight. "Latias let's start off with dragon pulse" said Ash. Latias fired a dragon pulse at Claydol. "Counter that with hyper beam Claydol" said Robert. The dragon pulse and hyper beam attacks collided with each other and exploded. "Use sandstorm Claydol" said Robert. Claydol started to cover the battlefield with sand. Ash smiled, knowing what to do in a situation like this. "Rain dance Latias" said Ash. Latias made it rain and Claydol's sandstorm disappeared. "Claydol is in trouble now," Brock said to Tomo and Max. "Yeah because rain dance has the ability to power up water type moves and Latias knows some water type moves" said Tomo. "And as Claydol is part ground type, water is its weakness" said Max. Brock was right about Claydol being in trouble; Ash commanded Latias to use water pulse and Latias' water pulse attack hit Claydol dead on. Claydol fainted at once. So Ash was the winner of this battle round. Robert congratulated Ash. "Your Latias is indeed a powerful pokemon Ash," he said "and I hope I will get to battle your Latios someday too".

May got defeated by her opponent, a boy named Trevor, because he used a Breloom. As Breloom was a grass type pokemon Marill, being a water type, easily got defeated by its grass type moves. When Trevor battled Ash, his Breloom easily got defeated by Latias and her mist ball attack. Mist ball was a psychic move and Breloom, being part fighting type as well as grass, was no match for it. So Ash was the winner of the Aquadome contest and the Aquadome Ribbon. This was now Ash's fourth ribbon and he needed just one more for the grand festival.

When the contest was over with, the gang hung out at a sauna for a relaxation. "Finally a whole evening of relaxation," said May, who was enjoying the sauna, "after I'm done with this sauna I'll get into a nice bath next". "Just try not to faint May" teased Max. Ash was happy to have a fourth contest ribbon and he hoped to earn his fifth ribbon in the next pokemon contest.

The gang was having a think today. Ash, Brock and Tomo told Max and May that Misty's birthday was the day after tomorrow, and the gang agreed to send Misty a birthday present. But they didn't know what they should get her. May had suggested on clothes and jewellery, but Ash said that Misty had lots of those because she bought a lot of clothes and jewellery when they travelled together in the past. Max had an idea that they could give Misty and Huntail and Gorebyss and some Clamperls as presents. "That is a good idea Max, but Misty has already got those," said Brock "I had a talk with her on the phone the other day and she told me a few days after she got back to Kanto from Mirage Kingdom she captured fourteen Clamperls". "What a catch," said Max "and I take it she evolved some of them?" "She said that she evolved two of them into Huntail and two of them into Gorebyss, and the ten Clamperls are staying Clamperls because her sisters like them so much" said Brock. "So then that means that Misty and her sisters have all the water pokemon there are in the Hoenn region then?" said Max. "Not really," said Ash "Misty and her sisters don't have Spheal, Sealeo and Walrein. Misty told me. And they don't have Surskit either, which is part bug and water". "Well Misty wouldn't want Surskit," said Brock "she told me that she saw a Surskit before, and of course it left her screaming. So Surskit is out of the question. But she would like Spheal, Sealeo and Walrein defiantly". "Okay then those three pokemon will be her presents," said Ash "question is where shall we go and look for them?" "I know where," said Max "there is a cave across the ocean from Mossdeep City called Shoal Cave and Spheal live there". "Okay then that is where we shall go then," said Brock "we shall go to Shoal Cave and get some Spheals for Misty". "Speaking of Spheal, check this out" said Tomo. He sent out a Sealeo from a pokeball. "My Spheal evolved this morning". "Wow, that's impressive," said Ash "it makes me say that a few Spheals would defiantly make Misty happy".

So the gang took a boat to get to Shoal Cave. But when they got there they saw the police standing outside the cave. "There must be trouble brewing about" said Ash. "Let's see what's going on" said Brock. Ash asked a policeman what was going on, and the policeman explained that reports of people causing trouble had been located in the Shoal Cave. He also said that the no one was allowed to enter the cave until the situation had been solved. The gang was disappointed especially since they wouldn't be able to get any Spheals for Misty's birthday.

Just then a pretty middle aged woman, wearing a purple dress, came out of the cave. "I don't believe it!" gasped Max "that woman is Glacia. She's an elite four member of Hoenn and the master of ice type pokemon". "I wonder what she's doing here?" said May. "My guess is she's probably here to help with the problem that's happening here at Shoal Cave," said Ash "remember when Phoebe helped out at that mine because it was home to ghost type pokemon? Well Spheal are part water and ice type, which is a reason that Glacia would want to help them out being an ice type master". The others agreed to that.

Just then Glacia noticed the gang. "Excuse me," she said "are you kids by any chance Ash, Tomo, Brock, Max and May?" "Yes, but how do you know our names?" asked Ash. "I heard about you guys and your Pikachu and Growlithe from Phoebe," said Glacia "she also told me about how you helped her protect some ghost pokemon from some selfish miners". "I'm glad we were able to help at that time" said Brock. "Well would you kids mind helping me now please?" asked Glacia "I know that you will be a great help to me like you were to Phoebe". The gang couldn't believe that Glacia was asking them for help. "Let's do it," Max whispered to the others "I would love to have an adventure with Glacia". "This way we can see what's going on in the cave" whispered Brock. The gang agreed to go into the cave with Glacia. Even May agreed to go too.

Glacia led the gang through the cave; she had been in Shoal Cave lots of times so she knew the way through the cave without getting lost. It was quite chilly in the cave. "Do you have any idea of what the disturbance in this cave is about Glacia?" asked Ash. "I have two guesses," said Glacia "it's either because this cave is home to hundreds of Spheals or it's because of shoal salt and shoal shells". "Shoal salt and shoal shells?" said May. "Shoal salt is a special salt and shoal shells are special shells and you can only find them here in Shoal Cave" said Glacia. "What exactly are those things for?" asked Ash. "They are used to make shell bells," said Max "they are special shell shaped bells that have the ability to heal the pokemon, who wears it, after causing damage to a target". "Wow, then that must be the reason for this trouble then," said Brock "I mean I think anybody would want to get their hands on something as special as that". "Yes, but that doesn't mean they can cause trouble and disturb the pokemon who live in this cave" said Glacia. The gang agreed with that and decided to just concentrate on stopping the trouble that was happening in the cave.

The trouble in Shoal Cave was really Jessie, James and Meowth. They were gathering up shoal salt and shoal bells and storing them into bags. "Tell me, why are we in this cold cave and gathering up salt and shells?" asked Jessie. Jessie didn't like being in Shoal Cave. "I told you already, we need the shoal salt and shoal shells to make shell bells," said Meowth "the shell bells will be a great help to Team Rocket, especially when the pokemon are fighting enemies". "Meowth's right Jess because shell bells have the ability to heal a pokemon after they've cause damage to another pokemon" said James. "Oh fine, but can we hurry up a bit so that we can leave soon?" said Jessie "I can't stand being in this cave anymore".

Meanwhile Glacia and the gang were still walking around in the cave. "This is weird," said Max "we have been walking in this cave for a while now and we haven't run into any pokemon at all. Not even one Spheal". "You're right Max," said Glacia "pokemon are always roaming around these parts. But now it's too quiet in this cave; something is not right". Just then Pikachu and Growlithe started to run ahead in front of the humans. "Ah when Pikachu and Growlithe act like that, it means something wrong is ahead of us" said Ash. "Yes let's hurry and follow them" said Tomo.

When Glacia and the gang caught up with Pikachu and Growlithe, they had a nasty surprise waiting for them. They saw dozens of Spheals and all of them were paralyzed. "Oh my gosh!" gasped May "what on earth happened". Brock checked on one of the Spheals at once. "They've been paralyzed by stun spore attack," said Brock. He revealed some stun spore powder on his hand. "So whoever did this must have been a grass type pokemon" suggested Max. "Yes but what should we do about the Spheals?" asked May. "I know what," said Ash "May do you have your Skitty with you?" "Yes I do, why?" said May. "Call her out and tell her to use heal bell" said Ash. May had no idea what it was going to do but she did as she was told and told her Skitty to use heal bell. Skitty's body glowed a blue-green and then Skitty released a green-blue wave from her tail towards all the Spheals. The Spheals were soon healed from their paralysis. "Wow, so the move heal bell can cure paralysis?" asked May. "It does more than that," said Ash "it can cure sleep, poison, freeze and burn as well as paralysis". "Ash is right and the move refresh can do that too, except it doesn't cure sleep and freeze" said Brock. "I am happy to see some trainers who know about how to heal a pokemon," smiled Glacia "but we need to sort out who did this". "I agree, before any more pokemon in this cave get hurt so let's go" said Brock.

At that time Jessie, James and Meowth had filled up ten bags fall of shoal salt and ten bags full of shoal shells. "Can we leave now? I'm tired from all of this" complained Jessie. "Yep, we can leave now," said Meowth "we have plenty now". Jessie sighed to say thank goodness. Suddenly Glacia and the gang turned up. "Why am I not surprised to see that you three are the ones causing trouble in this cave?" said Ash. Glacia asked who the trio were and Max explained that Team Rocket was bad people that stole pokemon from people and other places. Glacia was not happy with that. "I take you three are responsible for making the Spheals paralyzed?" she asked. "Those annoying pipsqueaks were in the way," said Jessie "so we paralyzed to keep them out of the way". "You're behaviour is unacceptable," said Glacia, crossly, "I shall punish you both". She sent out two ice pokemon to deal with Team Rocket; a Glalie and a Walrein. "Team Rocket's in trouble now" Max said to the others. He was right; Glacia ordered her two pokemon to use ice beam on Team Rocket and Jessie, James and Meowth were frozen solid at once. Tomo sent out his Sealeo to help out. "Sealeo use stockpile three times, and then use spit up" he said. Sealeo did that and when he used spit up he shot out a powerful beam of light from his mouth. Jessie, James and Meowth were shot out of Shoal Cave, leaving the shoal salt and shoal shells behind.

Glacia was grateful to the gang for helping her. "What should we do with all the shoal salt and shoal bells?" asked Max, who noticed the twenty bags. "Ah we can take it to the people who make shell bells," said Glacia "and they can sell the bells to trainers". "Let's go and see how the Spheals are doing now" said Brock. Everyone agreed and when they got back to where the Spheals were, the Spheals were all healed up now thanks to Skitty's heal bell. And to everyone's surprise, one of them had evolved into a Sealeo. "This is great to see that all the Spheals and the Sealeo are okay" said Ash. "Yes, but it was thanks to you and your idea of using heal bell Ash," said Glacia "I wish there was some way I could thank all of you". "Well the only thing we want is to catch some Spheals" said Brock. He explained about their friend Misty's birthday and their desire to give her some Spheals for a present because of her love for water pokemon. "I see, well since your friend loves water pokemon so much I'm sure she would love and care for the Spheals" smiled Glacia.

Just then the Sealeo and eight Spheals walled over to the gang and the Sealeo spoke up. "I know what this Sealeo is saying because I've learnt to understand ice type pokemon," said Glacia "it's saying that it will gladly be your friend's pokemon and it wants you to capture the eight Spheals beside it because they're its siblings". The gang agreed to Sealeo's request, and so Ash caught the Sealeo and Brock, Tomo, Max and May caught two Spheals each. As Ash's Sealeo and Tomo's two Spheals were going to Prof Oak and Max and May's Spheals were going to Prof Birch, they had to make sure to phone them and tell them about sending the pokemon to Misty.

Soon Glacia and the gang were out of Shoal Cave and they told the police what had happened. The police were happy to know that the disturbance had been sorted out now and they thanked Glacia and the gang. Now it was time for the gang to leave. "I thank you kids again and I wish you all luck on your journey" said Glacia. "It was a pleasure to meet you Glacia" said Ash. So the gang said goodbye to Glacia and left Shoal Cave by their boat.

Sorry for the wait. Now to help you readers understand; the Poliwhirl that Tomo has, evolved from the Poliwag he caught at the Safari Zone. The Poliwag he traded at the pokemon swap meet in Johto was a spare Poliwag so he didn't trade the Poliwag he caught in the Safari Zone. I don't know why Ash didn't catch the Spoink in the anime especially since they became close with each other. The ideas of Ash getting the deep sea scale and deep sea tooth from Slateport City, and the shoal salt and shoal shells were from the pokemon ruby, sapphire and emerald games.
