?????, you're right about umbreon. Umbreon's special defense is it's highest stat, and espeon's highest stat is special attack. I didn't know it could learn psychic, but if gyarados can learn thunder, why not?
Ok, it's now a while later. Ash has caught a sandshrew, and Midnight found a young sneasel, who came along. They have several badges (the hive, plain, storm, mineral, and glacier badges) and are more then half way to being able to challenge the elite four. Sorry anyone who wanted to hear all about those battles and captures, but I want to finish this story before I graduate college, so I'm going to skip it. They are stopping at a pokecenter to rest, and while the Nurse Joy is recovering form her shock of seeing all the rare pokemon, Ash is called by Prof. Hemlock.
"Hello Ash. You seem to be doing a good job of raising your pokemon. I finished an experiment and have another pokemon I don't need or want. It's yours."
Before Ash could say anything, Prof. Hemlock hung up, and a pokeball appeared in his hand.
"Well, that was odd," muttered Ash. "Why would he give me a pokemon for nothing-" his eyes fell on Midnight. " Oh! I guess he doesn't want me running off with Midnight."
Ash looked at the pokeball. What could be inside it? "Pokeball, go!" he yelled.
"Izor!" it yelled.
"A scizor? But they're ultra-rare!" said Ash in disbelief. He pulled out his pokedex. "Analyze: level," he said.
"Level five."
"Really? What attacks?"
"Steel wing, fury cutter, swords dance, false swipe, slash, wing attack, metal claw, quick attack, leer, pursuit, agiltiy."
"Um, hi scizor. Would you like to go play with the other pokemon?'
"Scizor!" it said, nodding, and walked over to them.
Ash sat down in a nearby chair. Prof. Hemlock must really want to keep him around. Scizor learned pursuit at Lv 12, false swipe at 18, agility at 24, metal claw at 30, slash at 36 and swords dance at 42. And it could only learn steel wing, and fury cutter by TM. As to how it had learned wing attack, he couldn't guess. Scyther, not scizor, learned that, and this scizor had to be newly hatched. His scizor was incredible.
"I just hope it doesn't mean he'll ask for something just as valuable from me," he said to himself, looking at Midnight quietly. Such a rare pokemon was priceless, but so were the combined three pokemon he now had from Prof. Hemlock
Midnight walked over to him.
"Midnight mid?" she asked, sensing that something was wrong.
"Oh, it's nothing Midnight," he said, petting her head.
Sorry about the lack of action. I promise, unless I think of something important, the next chapter will have them battling for the fog badge. However, there is plenty of foreshadowing, so think about the story.
