The PokeParty
Chapter Three: Watch Out, Pikachu! Baby Trouble!
Politoed.
It was getting dark. The water was getting cold.
"Totodile, would you stop splashing!?" Corsola yelped. "The water's freezing! Aren't you cold at all?"
"Who cares whether I'm cold or not?" Totodile laughed cheerfully on the surface, continuing to splash around. "As long as I'm having fun, there's no need for temperature to get in the way! But I am starting to miss Bayleef and Cyndaquil."
"I'm getting exhausted from all this swimming," Staryu added in, getting near the rest of us. "I'm getting out on the grass where it's warmer. You in, Corsola?"
Corsola blushed a rosey red that clashed with her pink and white colors. "Um.sure, Staryu!" It was sort of obvious they had a thing for each other. Or at least, Corsola had a thing for Staryu.
Staryu jumped out of the water and went spiraling to the grass by the edge of the lake, and Corsola followed. Goldeen swam by the water next to them. I swam on my stomach as Totodile annoyingly danced in circles around me, splashing with every kick and getting my belly soaked.
"Hey, look!" Corsola pointed up at the sky. "The first star of the night! I'll wish upon it.Hm.Star, I wish I could meet some of the old Pokemon that the others are always talking about."
"Hey, another one!" Staryu pointed to one forming right next to the first one. "Star, I wish I could meet Horsea and Starmie again, they were my best friends! Well, Starmie was actually my sister, but Horsea was one of my best friends."
"And one over there," Goldeen pointed out with a fin. "Star, I wish I'd evolve into a gigantic Seaking. I'm such a shrimp for my age and form, I think it should all pay off after I evolve."
"Do you wish upon stars, Totodile?" I asked, swimming in a slow circle.
"No way!" Totodile laughed. 'There's nothing to wish for! I'm happy the way I am! No star's gonna change my life tonight!"
After a long silence, I looked up ahead. The sunset was beautiful, but what really got me interested was the huge flock of Butterfree flying across the setting sun. The sky was pink yellow, with purple and orange clouds.
"Look up ahead, everyone!" I announced. "Should we go greet those Butterfree?"
"Sure!" Goldeen had already begun swimming.
"Ah.." Staryu started moving back into the water. "That sunset is picture-perfect! If only I knew how to use a human camera.." Corsola giggled.
"Hey!" Corsola said as we started swimming in a horizontal line toward the sunset. "Did you notice this lake has turned into a river?"
"Uh." Goldeen looked around nervously. "The current's getting fierce! We're in for a rough ri- Ahhh!!!"
"w00t!" Totodile jumped into the air on a soft continuing wave. "Cowa- Bunga, Wet Ones! We're headed straight for a wata' fall!"
"What!?" Corsola shrieked, getting closer to Stayu. "I'm scared of waterfalls!"
"Me too!" Goldeen cried.
"Don't worry you two, at least you won't have to hit rock bottom, Goldeen!" Staryu laughed.
"Get ready!" I smiled. Totodile and I were the only ones who absolutely adored waterfalls. Corsola and Goldeen dreaded them, and Staryu thought they were okay. Who couldn't love them, though!?
"Ahhh!!!" Dewgong and Seel slapped their tails at us. Tentacool and Tentacruel wrapped around us. Tons of Gyarados jumped into the air, and Seaking and Kingdra rudely hit us. Horsea, Seadra, and Magikarp moved pointlessly around. Lanturn lit up the water.
"Ouch, stop it, you stupid- Ahhhhhhh!!!"
We were going down! Wait- what?
"Free, free!" a bunch of Butterfree picked us up! Three were holding me. They fluttered us back down to a calm pool. A hot spring! A bunch of Butterfree gathered around us. That's when I noticed something odd about them - they were all purple!
"Have you seen the runt?" one Butterfree asked another. "I think I saw him playing with two other Pokemon, they looked like Fire types."
"Oh, that is so like him!" the other Butterfree shouted furiously. "He's always running off to make some new friends! I mean, sure he's smaller than the rest of us, but that doesn't mean he's younger!"
"Wait till mom and dad find out!" another one pitched in. "Just you wait, he'll punish that runt good! Scold him! Treat him like a Metapod!"
"In my opinion, that stupid little runt should be- AHHHH!!!"
"RUN FOR IT!"
We ducked under the hot spring as the Butterfree flew away. Beedrill were taking over their turf! We peeked up to notice that the last Beedrill from the group looked very worn out, and was being followed by a Meganium and an Elekid They sat by the side of the hot spring, very close to us.
"Bayleef, is that you?" I asked as we all pulled out of the surface.
"I don't know you," the Meganium responded. "You must be thinking of another evolved Bayleef. Hmph! I'm not tired at all, are you two?" This Meganium reminded me a lot of our Bayleef!
"No...way.." Elekid and Beedrill huffed and puffed.
"I knew I sensed that Larvitar kid back over by that cave, Beedrill, if you would have just NOT followed those other Beedrill-"
"Oh shut up!" Beedrill yelled. "You two should have left me a long time ago! I wanted to hang out with some buzzing buddies, and you should have hung out with Larvitar, and Meganium! You should have hung out with that other hunky Meganium you were flirting with back there!
Meganium blushed and looked at the ground. "Really?"
"Hey, you sensed Larvitar?" asked Totodile. "Was he in a cave?"
"You!" The Elekid stared. "You're the Totodile from before! Wait..I know all of you! Beedrill, Meganium! Remember these guys?"
"Oh yeah!" they replied. "You belong to those other trainers.."
"Wait!" Beedrill stuttered. "The trainers these Pokemon belong to are very powerful compared to us! Casey's a puny rookie compared to them! And.Pidgeotto! Raticate! Come out!"
A Pidgeotto and Raticate came out. They were the evolved versions of the Pidgey and Rattata that Casey girl battled with from before.
"I see you two have evolved," I smiled. "As have I."
"Whatever!" they hissed. "We don't want to have anything to do with you or your trainers! C'mon, let's go!"
And with that, they flew and ran off.
"They aren't exactly the friendliest Pokemon I've ever met," Staryu commented. "Should we try going over to that cave where they said they saw Larvitar?"
"Yeah," I answered. "It's most likely our Larvitar. Besides, if it isn't, we will have made a new friend! The other Water Pokemon around here are pushy, and Casey's Pokemon are mean."
We continued swimming along the edge of the river as fast as we could. The sun was slowing setting in our presence, but it was beautiful. I was about to suggest we swim a little faster so we could get there before dark, but something on the right caught my eye, and I turned.
"Watcha lookin' at, Politoed?" Totodile asked, splashing around.
Suddenly, from inside a thick canopy of trees, a small purple Butterfree came out with two tiny Charmander!
"Hey!" Corsola called out to them. "Wait, isn't that the 'runt' the other Butterfree were talking about? It's smaller than the average Butterfree."
"And those Charmander look like babies!" Goldeen pointed out.
"Do you sense something about them, Goldeen?" Staryu asked. "The Butterfree smells familiar, and so do those two Charmander!"
The Butterfree and the two Charmander slowly approached us. "Can you help us find out way home?" one of the Charmander asked.
But before we could answer, a bunch of Butterfree calls sounded right behind us, and two older-looking Butterfree went zooming over our heads! One was blue, and the other was pink. They clutched the purple Butterfree and were about to zoom off, when Goldeen and Staryu stopped them.
"Butterfree, is that you?" Staryu asked. This made the Butterfree freeze in the air they were floating on!
"Staryu! Goldeen!" the blue Butterfree turned around to face us. "How've you been!? I haven't seen you in forever! Introduce me to these guys!"
Golden spoke up. "This is Politoed and Corsola, they're also in Misty's team now. And Totodile's in Ash's team."
"What about Psyduck and Starmie and Horsea?" Blue Butterfree asked.
"Psyduck's still with us," Staryu answered. "Starmie and Horsea are with Misty's sisters in Cerulean City."
"How's Ash getting along?" Blue Butterfree asked without a comment for what Staryu said. "Does he still have Squirtle and Bulbasaur and Charmander?"
"He has Bulbasaur, but it's in his PC box," Corsola announced.
"Squirtle went back to his squad," informed Goldeen. "Charmander's a Charizard now, but he moved to Charizard Valley. Ash still has Pikachu, but he released Pidgeot."
"Now he has me!" Totodile danced. "And Cyndaquil, Bayleef, Pikachu, Phanpy, and Larvitar."
"Pikachu!" Blue Butterfree jolted. "I haven't seen Pikachu in nearly five years! I must know how he's doing. Bri? Runt? You two come with me, we're going to go pay Pikachu a visit!" He turned to me. "He is here, right?"
"Well, yeah," I replied. "But we were just about to go to a cave to visit Larvitar. Can we at least stop there on the way?"
"Sure!" Blue Butterfree agreed. "Big Cave's just a minute away! Let's go!"
We all followed the Butterfree, even the two baby Charmander were running to tag along, so I let one ride on my belly, and the one rode on Corsola's back. Finally, we reached the cave!
"RRROOOOAAAARRRRR!" A massive Charizard was right outside the cave, along with a female Charizard. "Charla, stay here! I'm going in and getting the triplets!" he told the female.
"Mommy! Mommy!" the two Charmander ran to the female as soon as the male rushed inside the cave.
"My babies!" the female held them tight, and then looked at us.
"How did you ever find them?" the female asked us with a thanking whine. "They were with our little baby here, ma'am," Pink Butterfree answered. "They had a lot of fun, but we were worried sick about Runt!"
"RRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRR!" the male Charizard came bursting out of the cave looking pretty beat-up, holding three Charmander babies. "I taught that Steelix a thing or two! I was about to finish them off when some Rhydon working for the place broke us up."
I had completely forgotten we weren't really free! Wait a minute..wasn't that the Charizard that helped us through a crystal mansion two years ago?"
"Charmander, is that you?" Blue Butterfree asked.
"Butterfree!" Charizard ran to him. "We really have to get going back to where the babies are, Raye should be here any minute to pick them up. He works for Charizard Valley where I'm from. But please, will you come with us? I know Pikachu will be more than happy to see you again, and your wife and son!"
"Actually, we have ten kids, this one's just a runt," Pink Butterfree said.
"We're getting old, Charizard," Blue Butterfree informed him.
"All the better to get moving!" Charla suggested, holding all five Charmander. "We're from Ash's team, too!" Totodile whined, dancing. "And Misty's!"
Charizard laughed. "Yes, I remember you, Totodile. Now, Totodile, Corosola, and Politoed can get on me, and Staryu and Goldeen-"
"No need, Charizard!" Staryu interrupted. "I learned a cool trick on how to nearly fly, and I can fit Goldeen on my center piece. "Lets' go!"
Corsola, Totodile and I got on Charizard's back and we started to rise up into the air! The Butterfree family flew along side us, and Staryu suddenly came whooshing in the air with Goldeen attached, moving much faster than the rest of us. We started speeding up so fast, I nearly fell off!
"I'm getting tired!" Staryu said. "Are we there yet?"
"Drop down, we're there!" Charizard answered, and we fell from the sky.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" we shouted
WHOOMPH.
"Charmander!"
"Char char!"
Pikachu and the others looked miserable. Charizard led us water Pokemon to a small pond next to all the Charmander.
"Charizard, this is one insane amount of babies!" Heracross commented.
"Yeah," Charizard laughed. "Good thing they're not all ours, eh?"
"What!?" Pikachu and Bulbsaur eyed Charizard. "They aren't all yours!?"
"Of course not!" Charla replied. "Only nine of them are! The rest belong to all the other Charizard in Charizard Valley. We were the ones sent here to take care of them here at PokePlace."
"Is that what this place is called?" spoke up Butterfree.
"Butterfree!" Bulbsaur and Pikachu cried. "It's you!"
Immediately Butterfree, Bulbsaur, Pikachu and Charizard went over to a secluded area to chat on old times. That was my guess as to what they were doing anyway. Before anyone could say anything else a huge Charizard with "CV" on his forehead flew over us. "Hey, Charla!" he called down to her. "Came to pick up the babies. Their parents are worried sick about them! Any trouble?"
"Not at all!" Charla lied. "Thanks, Raye."
A huge vent-looking thing appeared out of nowhere, and immediately all the Charmander rushed to get inside it.
"Wow, what is that thing?" Cyndaquil asked.
"It's a special case that's meant especially to attract all Charmander from Charizard Valley except for Charla's," Raye replied.
"What makes them come to it?" Noctowl asked.
"A stored heating ray attached to pure genes of the parents of the Charmander mixed with some fresh charcoal will surely bring any Charmander from Charizard Valley into such a safe portable surrounding," Psyduck smarty informed. "Correct?"
"Uh, yeah." Rayed answered, looking stumped.
Once all but nine Charmander were inside, Raye took off. It was really starting to get dark, so we all went over to the secluded area Charizard, Pikachu, Butterfree, and Bulbsaur were at. The five of us water Pokemon hung around at the edge of a stream where Goldeen and Staryu were washing down. Corsola and I lied down to look at the stars, and Totodile splashed around near Goldeen.
Charla and Pink Butterfree were chatting away with Runt and the nine Charmander playing at their sides. Five of the Charmander (the three triplets and the two girls that were with Runt) were jumping on Muk along with Togepi. Bayleef, Cyndaquil, Noctowl and Heracross sat next to each other and got to talking. Psyduck joined Corsola and I, and Kingler was trying to control the five Charmander that were annoying Muk.
When looking at a scene like this, you'd think it was pretty peaceful, and it was, but only for a certain period of time. Suddenly and unexpectedly, a huge beat-up bird came shooting out of the sky, eyes narrowed and beak raised, headed straight for the baby Charmander aside Muk!
"Tseeeeeeeeeeeer!" it raked its talons forward, about to dig them into the juicy little skin belonging to the Charmander!
"Look out!" Kingler cried, backing away.
