Chapter 107
What Tomo did while Ash was gone
After Ash left for Rota to train his aura, Tomo had to think what to do for him-self. With Ash gone he wasn't sure what to do, especially since they weren't going on a new pokemon journey until Ash came back from Rota. But that evening, while he and his mum were having dinner, he decided on what to do. "Hey mum, have you heard of the pokemon rangers?" Tomo asked Delia. "Yes I have," answered Delia "I've read them I the papers and seen them on TV lots of times. It's great there are people like them who protect pokemon from all sorts of dangers and other bad things like that. I heard from Ash that you met two pokemon rangers Solana and Jack while you were in Kanto". "Meeting them has made me decide what I want to be and that is to become a pokemon ranger too" said Tomo. Delia was surprised by Tomo's decision, but she agreed. "I had the feeling you would grow up to be someone who would protect pokemon like a policeman or pokemon ranger Tomo," she said "I mean you did grow up with Ranger Jenny at the pokemon reserve before you came into our family. So I think being a pokemon ranger is perfect for you". So it was settled; Tomo's quest was to become a pokemon ranger.
Next day Tomo went over to Prof Oak's lab. Delia decided that Tomo should go and see Prof Oak to find out how Tomo could become a pokemon ranger. Tomo told Prof and Tracey about his wish to become a pokemon ranger. "So you have found what you want to do Tomo," said Tracey "and I think being a pokemon ranger would be great for you". Prof Oak agreed too. "Prof Oak how do people become a pokemon ranger?" asked Tomo. "Well I've read that those who wish to become a pokemon ranger go to a special school called the ranger school," said Prof Oak "they teach you there how to become pokemon rangers there and how to become operators and mechanics. Let me check it out on the computer". Prof Oak looked at the ranger school on the computer. "Yes it says here that at the ranger school the students learn all there is about being a pokemon ranger. Why they even go on small quests too to see if they have what it takes to be pokemon rangers". "It looks tough to me," said Tracey "I think you should train yourself and your pokemon Tomo, before you start attending this school". "I agree with Tracey" said Prof Oak. Tomo agreed too; he and Ash had heard about how hard and dangerous it can be sometimes when you're a pokemon ranger from Solana before. Then Tracey came up with an idea; he thought that maybe Tomo should battle gyms and enter a pokemon league. "I call that a great idea;" said Prof Oak "battling in gym battles and in a pokemon league would make you stronger Tomo, just like it makes Ash strong". Tomo looked thoughtful; Prof Oak was right about Ash getting stronger because of his times battling pokemon gyms and entering the pokemon leagues and other tournaments. "That's what I'll do," said Tomo "I'll battle the gym leaders when I go to Sinnoh with Ash and I'll enter the Sinnoh League too". So it was decided that Tomo will enter the Sinnoh League to get stronger before he goes to the ranger school.
Tomo went out onto the ranch and rounded up all of his pokemon; Growlithe, Tauros, Poliwhirl, Nidoran couple, Venonat, Marowak, Pikachu, Kabuto, Omanyte, Farfetch'd, Chameleon, Croconaw, Magcargo, Houndour, Electabuzz, Magmar, Jynx, Ledian, Sunflora, Octillery, Wynaut Teddiursa, Snubbull, Grovyle, Shedinja, Ninjask, Poochyena, Camerupt, Castform, Spinda, Pelipper, Plusle, Minun, Electrike, Dusclops, Beldum, Lileep, Anorith, Sealeo, Natu, Pidgey and Ponyta. He told everyone about his decision to become a pokemon ranger, and then he told everyone that he was going to participate in the Sinnoh League when they got to Sinnoh. "If we participate in the gym battles there we will get stronger like my brother and his pokemon are". His pokemon understood and they couldn't wait to participate in gym battles.
At that moment a gush of wind interrupted Tomo; it was Mewtwo, who had just come back from his traveling through Kanto. Mewtwo knew that Ash had gone to train his aura power; he had told Mewtwo about his aura after what happened at Rota before and about his decision to train it just before the journey through Kanto finished. "Is everything alright Mewtwo?" asked Tomo. "So far all of Kanto is at peace," said Mewtwo "but I fear of Team Rocket who still roams around free". "Yes it would be great if we could get rid of them like we got rid of Team Aqua and Magma in Hoenn" said Tomo. He didn't like Team Rocket either and only a miracle would be able to take them and Giovanni down. Since Mewtwo was home again he decided to rest until Ash came back from Rota.
Tomo went back to his house and asked his mum what he should do. He did plan to do some training but he wasn't sure what else what he can do. Delia thought for a moment. "I know why don't you go to Pewter City and Cerulean City?" she said "if you go to the gyms there you could have gym battle practices with Brock and Misty". Tomo thought that was a great idea, and so did Growlithe. "I'll head out to tomorrow to visit Brock and Misty and practice gym battling there".
So the next day Tomo packed up somethings in his backpack, got six of his pokemon (including Growlithe) ready and left Pallet Town to visit Brock in Pewter City and Misty in Cerulean City.
The first stop was to get to Pewter City. Right now Tomo had made it to Viridian City. He found out that Viridian Gym had a new gym leader and to his surprise it was Jones who Ash battled in the ever grand conference. Jones had moved from Hoenn to Kanto to become the gym leader for Viridian Gym. Battling his ground type pokemon was perfect to earn the Earth badge.
After leaving Viridian City, Tomo made his way through the Viridian Forest. Travelling alone to different places felt weird to Tomo because he had always traveled with Ash. But it was a good opportunity for him because when he had to go to the ranger school he would be there himself without Ash and of course he would go on quests without Ash too. It was Tomo's first step of being independent.
Once Tomo made it to Pewter City and to the gym a few days later, Brock was surprised to see him. Tomo told Brock about his decision to enter the pokemon gyms in the Sinnoh region to get stronger because of his wish to go to ranger school and about his mum's decision to see him and Misty to practice gym battles. "I understand Tomo," said Brock "and your mum was right to have you come to me and Misty to practice a gym battle. I will help you and I know Misty will too". Tomo was grateful.
Brock and Tomo went to see his family and told them about Tomo wanting to have a practice battle in the gym. Forrest agreed to practice with Tomo; he thought this would be a great practice too before he became the official Pewter Gym leader. So everyone went into the gym. Forrest and Tomo took their places on the battle field, Brock became the referee and Flint, Lola and the other siblings went to the side lines to watch. Brock explained that the match was a 2 on 2 match and declared the battle to begin.
Forrest sent out his Larvitar to battle and Tomo sent out his Octillery. Tomo started off by telling his Octillery to use bubblebeam. "Quick dodge that Larvitar" said Forrest, and Larvitar did dodge the bubbles. "Now use dark pulse". Larvitar fired a dark pulse attack and Octillery got hit by it. "You're alright Octillery," said Tomo "use aurora beam". Octillery fired an aurora beam at Larvitar and Larvitar got hit by it. Forrest knew that ice type attacks were strong against rock type pokemon so he decided to do something quick. "Sandstorm Larvitar" he said. Larvitar started up a strong sandstorm attack. Tomo chuckled because he knew what to do in a situation like this. "Rain dance Octillery" he said. It started to rain and the sandstorm attack was no more. "Sorry Forrest but I've learnt about field moves from my brother," said Tomo "now Octillery octazooka". Octillery fired an orb of water from his mouth and it hit Larvitar. Thanks to rain dance octazooka had more power and Larvitar fainted from the water type move. So Tomo became the winner of the first match.
"Wow Tomo you're good at battling" said Forrest, returning Larvitar. "It's thanks to Ash that my pokemon and I have learnt to be strong" said Tomo. Forrest understood because he learnt how to be strong too thanks to Brock and Flint. Forrest sent out his Rhyperior to battle next.
Tomo was amazed by the pokemon and looked at it on the pokedex: Rhyperior, the drill pokemon. The evolved form of Rhydon. It can launch a rock held in its hand like a missile by tightening then expanding muscles instantly.
Tomo decided to return Octillery and he sent out his Poliwhirl to battle next. "Poliwhirl use hydro pump" he said. "Quick use dig to get away Rhyperior" said Forrest. Rhyperior dug into the ground just before the hydro pump could hit it. "Watch out Poliwhirl" said Tomo. Just then Rhyperior came out. "Megahorn Rhyperior" said Forrest. Rhyperior tackled Poliwhirl hard with its horn. Forrest's family all agreed that Forrest was indeed doing well. "Okay Poliwhirl use surf" said Tomo. Poliwhirl created a tidal wave and it went at Rhyperior. Rhyperior couldn't dodge the surf attack and was hit by it good. "Okay Poliwhirl let's finish this off with hydro pump" said Tomo. Poliwhirl fired a hydro pump attack at Rhyperior, and this time Rhyperior was hit by hit. Being hit by two strong water type moves caused Rhyperior to faint. Brock declared Tomo the winner of the match.
Tomo and Forrest returned their pokemon and shook hands with each other. "You did great for your first gym battle Tomo," said Brock "you will do fine of challenging them in the Sinnoh region as well as challenging the pokemon league there". Everyone else agreed too. Just then Forrest asked Brock if he could give Tomo a Boulder Badge. "Hang on," said Tomo "I didn't come here to earn the Boulder Badge". "Maybe, but you should get the badge Tomo" said Brock. "I agree," said Flint "having that badge will be proof that you are ready to battle gyms and keep it as acknowledgement". Tomo couldn't give in and agreed, so he got the Boulder Badge.
Tomo spent the night at Brock's house and then got ready to leave for Cerulean City to see Misty. "Tell Misty I say hi Tomo," said Brock "oh and when Ash comes back from his training tell me at once because I wish to travel to the Sinnoh region too". Tomo was happy to hear that Brock was going to travel with them again and he promised to tell him. Then he said goodbye to Brock and his family and set off for Cerulean City.
After leaving Pewter City and traveling through Mt Moon, Tomo made it to Cerulean City. He headed over to the gym and was greeted by Misty. "Hi Tomo," said Misty "your mum just rang me and told me that you were coming here". Tomo explained of his plan to practice battling in a gym with her because he wanted to battle in pokemon gyms in Sinnoh. "That's a good idea Tomo; it's always best to practice things before you do them for real" said Misty. "I've already battled Forrest in Pewter Gym and I got the badge from him too," said Tomo, showing the badge, "thing is though I didn't want to battle him for the badge". "I call that a great idea because it will be a start on your quest Tomo," said Misty "and that's why I'll give you a badge too if you defeat me". Tomo was surprised but agreed.
Before Misty and Tomo could start their battle Misty showed Tomo around the gym and the pokemon. Misty's Mudkip had grown up by now and was now into battles. "Hey Misty," said Tomo "before I forget do you by any chance have any water stones? I want to evolve my Poliwhirl into a Poliwrath". "We have lots of water stones here," smiled Misty "and I would like to see your Poliwhirl evolve". There were water stones in a volt in the office of Cerulean Gym, where they also kept the Cascade Badges. Tomo released his Poliwhirl from the pokeball and Misty touched him with a water stone. Then Poliwhirl glowed and evolved into Poliwrath. "You have a very healthy and strong Poliwrath Tomo" said Misty. Poliwrath was happy and so was Tomo.
After that Misty and Tomo took their battle places on the swimming pool to battle. Misty declared the match a one on one match and Tomo agreed. Misty decided to send out her Corsola to battle and Tomo sent out his Sealeo to battle. Tomo started off by telling a Sealeo to use powder snow. "Get into the water Corsola" said Misty. Corsola dived into the pool and dodged the powder snow attack. Sealeo went under the water too. "Spike cannon Corsola". Corsola fired spike cannon, but Sealeo dodged it. This made Misty remember that Sealeo moved faster in the water than on land. "Ice ball Sealeo" said Tomo. Sealeo ice multiple balls of ice and Corsola got hit by all of them. "Oh no Corsola recover" said Misty. Corsola quickly recovered herself. "Okay Sealeo use hail" said Tomo. Sealeo came out of the water and made it snow and hail. The hail didn't hurt Sealeo of course because it was part ice type, cut it did hurt Corsola because she was water and rock. "Okay Corsola use tackle" said Misty. Corsola charged to do a tackle attack. "Body slam Sealeo" said Tomo. Corsola and Sealeo tackled each other and as Corsola was more strong than Sealeo, Sealeo was hurt more than Corsola. "Blizzard Sealeo" said Tomo. Sealeo blew a powerful blizzard attack and thanks to hail it was stronger. Poor Corsola didn't like the blizzard attack and she got covered in ice. "Now Sealeo use body slam". Sealeo gave Corsola a hard tackling and she fainted. So Tomo became the winner of the match.
"Well Tomo you did wonderfully in our battle" said Misty. She gave him the Cascade Badge and Tomo happily accepted it. Now it was over Tomo had to go back to Pallet Town again. Good luck with participating in gym battles and the pokemon league in the Sinnoh region Tomo," said Misty "and wish Ash lots of luck for me too when he comes back". Tomo promised to do that, thanked Misty for the match, said goodbye to her and headed off for home.
After having practice battles with Forrest and Misty, Tomo spent the rest of his free time helping out his mum with chores and errands, watched TV programs about pokemon rangers, spent some time at Prof Oak's lab and trained some of his pokemon, mostly Ponyta, Pidgey and Natu. In the process Tomo's Pidgey evolved to Pidgeotto, his Venonat evolved into Venomoth, his Nidoran couple evolved to Nidorina and Nidorino and his Beldum evolved into Metang. Tomo felt more than ready for when he would challenge the gyms in the Sinnoh region, but he still had to wait patiently until his brother came back. And he was fine with that.
Sorry for the wait. Tomo is going to evolve his Electabuzz and Magmar just like Ash will evolve his Togetic, Misdreavus, Murkrow and Rhydon but not until later in Sinnoh. There will be mixed turns with either Ash will go first or Tomo go first in the gym battles. Thanks to everyone's votes Kenny will battle Ash in the grand festival, now I have a new poll. What form should Dawn's Burmy be?
