Mt. Moon Well, I finally made the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it!

======================================

The gang had left the city, and were on their way to Mt. Moon.

"Hey Ari," Rony said. "Why can't you just teleport us to the next city?"

"Duh! If I teleport us, we'll never gain any new pokemon." Ari answered. "Plus, it's the best way to gain experiance as a trainer."

"What pokemon are there to catch?" Rony asked.

"The one major pokemon that lives here are jigglypuffs." Ari answered.

"Halt right there!" A voice said.

"Huh, who's there?" Ari asked.

A girl stepped out and introduced herself. "I'm Sall, are any of you pokemon trainers?"

"We both are," Rony said. "Do you want to battle?"

"Yup, let's have a two-on-two pokemon battle." Sall said.

"Alright!" Rony said. "Let's go ivyasaur." Ivyasaur walked foward.

"Then I'll choose my pokemon." Sall said. She tossed a pokeball, and a jigglypuff came out.

"Hey look, a jigglypuff." Ari said.

"Yes, my jigglypuff has yet to be defeated." Sall bragged.

"We'll see how undefeatable it is." Rony said. "Use your vine whip." Ivyasaur lashed out his vines, but as they approached jigglypuff, she puffed up, and the vines bounced off harmlessly.

"Our turn jigglypuff." Sall said. "Use your pound attack." Jigglypuff punched ivyasaur, but it didn't seem to hurt him much either.

"No more nice guy." Rony said. "Use your razor leaf." Ivyasaur sent out tons of sharp leaves that slammed into jigglypuff, and hurt it too much to continue fighting.

"Nice, but you'll never defeat my other pokemon." Sall said, still seeming unimpressed. She tossed out another pokeball, and a wigglytuff came out.

"What pokemon is that?" Rony asked as he took out his pokedex and pointed it and wigglytuff.

Maybe it's the evolved form of the pokemon you just defeated. Ari thought to himself as he rolled his eyes.

"Wigglytuff, the evolved form of jigglypuff." Rony's pokedex said. "It can bloat itself up to enormous proportions."

"Don't just stand there while the trainer is foolishy disctracted wigglytuff." Sall said. "Use your double slap." Wigglytuff ran over and started slapping ivyasaur silly before Rony was able to put away his pokedex. Wigglytuff gave a final slap, and sent ivyasaur flying to the ground.

"Rony, don't wasted time staring at your pokedex," Ari told Rony. "If you do that to all the opponents pokemon, you'll lose every battle."

"I'll show you." Rony said. "Ivyasaur, use your razor leaf." Ivyasaur sent out his sharp leaves, and tossed them at wigglytuff. Wigglytuff puffed up, and the leaves bounced off of her bloated form.

"Good defense wigglytuff." Sall said. "Now use your sing attack." Wigglytuff started singing, and amazingly only ivyasaur fell asleep.

"Why din't we all fall asleep?" Ari asked confused.

"My wigglytuff can specially aim her sleep waves at whoever she wants." Sall bragged.

"Oh no! Ivyasaur, wake up!" Rony pleaded.

"We've won, use your strongest double slap." Sall commanded. Wigglytuff slapped Ivyasaur continuously, but all it succeeded in doing was waking ivyasaur up.

"We've got to get stronger to win ivyasaur, quickly, eat this." Rony said as he tossed a super rare candy at ivyasaur. He ate it, and emidiately started glowing. "I was right, ivyasaur was only a few levels from evolving, so I gave him a boost to evolve now!" Ivyasaur stopped glowing, and formed into a venusaur.

"Hey that's wierd." Ari commented. "Instead of one flower, it has four flowers on its back."

"That won't save you," Sall said, getting annoyed. "Wigglytuff, use comet punch." Wigglytuff ran foward with her fist on fire.

"Venusaur, use a solar beam attack." Venusaur shot out four entire solar beams at wigglytuff.

"Wigglytuff, get out of the way." Sall yelled. Wigglytuff was able to dodge the first two beams, but the second two rammed straight into her, and sent her flying. She landed with a thud, and fainted insantly.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!" Sall screamed. She calmed down and returned her pokemon. "Next time I'll say no items allowed in the match." She grumbled as she ran away.

"Nice match." Ari commented.

"Yeah." Alakazam agreed.

"Thanks." Rony said. "I've got a super huge, super powerful pokemon!"

"Saauur!" Venusaur bellowed happily.

The group continued walking until they reached the mouth of Mt. Moon

"Hey look, it's a pokecenter." Rony said.

"After that battle, I bet venusaur could sure use a rest." Ari said.

The group went into the pokecenter.

"Hello!" The Nurse Joy of the center said.

"Hi, can you heal my venusaur?" Rony asked.

"Of course!" She said cheerfully. Rony returned venusaur to his pokeball, and gave it to Joy.

"Hey mac, want to buy a magicarp for five bucks?" A seedy character asked.

"What's wrong with it?" Ari asked skeptically.

"Well, I've been training it for a week, and it won't evolve, but five bucks is a good price, though." The guy said.

"What level is it?" Ari asked, still not impressed.

"It's level is 15." The guy said.

"Oh, okay." Ari said. "I'll take it." Ari said, giving the character a five dollar bill.

"Heh heh heh, thanks," The character said. He gave Ari the pokeball, and left directly afterwards.

"That's five bucks down the drown." Rony said.

"What do you mean, he's at level 15." Ari said, as if that answered it all.

"So?" Rony said, still not getting it.

"Let me show you." Ari said. He took out magikarp from the pokeball and had it flop around on the ground. "Hi magikarp, I'm your new friend and trainer."

"Karp karp." Magikarp said in aknowledgement.

"Now, how would you like to evolve into gyarados right now?" Ari asked.

"Karp karp!" It said excitedly.

"Alright." Ari said. He tossed a supper rare candy at magikarp, and he ate it quickly. Magikarp flopped around a bit more, then started glowing. The glowing form stretched out, and turned into a gyarados!

"Wow, how did it evolve so fast?" Rony asked.

"Simple, a magikarp evolves at level 20, and this magikarp was at level 15. One super rare candy gives five levels, so it evolved after just eating the candy.

"Oh." Rony said.

"How do you feel gyarados?" Ari asked his new pokemon.

"Rarrr!" The gyarados said happily. Gyarados stopped abruptly, and started as his "shoulder" area. His sides started to glow, and an arm sprouted out on both sides of his body. They were long, muscular, and humanshape. They had five fingers, and at the end of each digit was a long, sharp claw like nail.

"What was that?" Rony asked confused.

"I actually have no idea." Ari said. He pointed his pokedex at gyarados to see if it had any answers.

"Dragoon, the constantly evolving pokemon." The pokedex said. "The evolved form of gyarados. Gyarados are usually plagued with a large temper, but when they evolve from magikarp, and if instead of a temper they are happy, then they will instantly evolve into dragoon. If the gyarados does not evolve right away, it will never evolve into dragoon. This is what makes dragoon such a rare pokemon. In the beginning, it looks like a gyarados with arms, but as it gains experience, it will slowly change to become a fully formed dragoon. No fully formed dragoon has ever been seen and recorded in history."

"That was very long!" Rony said.

"Who cares." Ari said. "I went from having no water pokemon to having a super strong water pokemon!"

"He's very big." Alakazam commented.

"Your pokemon is healed." Nurse Joy said as she gave Rony his pokeball. "Can you put that pokemon back into its pokeball? It's blocking the exit."

"Okay, sorry." Ari said as he recalled dragoon back into his pokeball.

"Thank you, see you later." Rony said as he left the pokecenter.

"Come back any time." Nurse Joy said.

They left the pokecenter and reached the entrance of Mt. Moon.

"It's really dark in there." Rony said as he squinted inside. "And we don't have any pokemon that can light the way for us."

"I've got an idea." Ari said. He picked up a large thick stick from the ground and held it up. He pointed his finger at it, and fired a small beam at its top. The top exploded, and a fire errupted.

"Cool, it's like a torch!" Rony said.

Ari made another one, and gave one to Rony while he kept the other one. Alakazam made his own torch. After that, they entered Mt. Moon.

"Look at all the pokemon." Rony said as he saw paras, geodude, and zubats.

"I thought clefairy lived here too." Ari said.

"Clefairy!" A voice said from around the corner.

"That's got to be one!" Ari said excitedly. They rounded the corner, and sure enough, there was a clefairy jumping around the cave.

"I'm going to catch it." Rony said as he took out a spare pokeball.

"Freeze right there!" A familiar voice said.

"Sall, what are you doing here?" Rony asked. Sall walked up, holding a flashlight.

"I'm here to beat you at a pokemon battle." She said pointing at Ari. "And this time, no items are allowed."

"Okay, why not." Ari said.

"Good, then let's have a three-on-three pokemon battle." Sall said. "That clefairy you were about to catch is mine, so you'll have to fight her first." Clefairy stopped jumping around, and stood next to Sall.

"I guess I'll use alakazam then." Ari said. He would have liked to use his new dragoon, but the area was too cramped for that.

"Then let's begin." Sall said. "Clefairy, use your metronome attack." Clefairy waved her fingers, and shot a ball of flame at alakazam.

"Use teleport, then use psybeam." Ari commanded. Alakazam teleported as the fire ball slammed against the wall, and fired a large psybeam at clefairy. It contacted, and clefairy flew against the wall, and landed on the ground, unable to battle.

"Curses!" Sall said, getting annoyed at losing for the third straight time. "This next one will get you." She returned clefairy, and threw out another pokeball. A clefable came out. "Use your sing attack on the trainer." She said as she put ear plugs in her ears. Clefable started to sings directly at Ari.

Ari crossed his arms, and his eyes glowed slightly. After a while, Rony had fallen asleep, but alakazam and Ari were still wide awake.

"How's that possible?" Sall asked. "You should be asleep."

"That attack won't work against me." Ari said. His eyes glowed even more, and an orangish see-through barrier appeared infront of him. After a few moments, clefable fell asleep.

"What happened?" Sall said confused.

"I reflected clefairy's sleep waves." Ari said. "Which is legal as long as the opponent pokemon is attacking me directly. Alakazam, finish it with confusion." Alakazam floated the sleeping form into the air, and slammed it into a caved wall, causing a few rocks to fall down. Clefairy stayed down, so it was out of the battle.

"Hey!" Sall said. "Be careful with those attacks, you could cause a cave in." She returned her fainted pokemon. "Time for the big guns." She tossed another pokeball, and a pokemon new to Ari came out.

"What is that?" Ari said surprised.

"It is a clanymph." Sall said proudly. Clanymph was slightly larger than clafairy, and the same color. It had larger wings, and small horns jutting from its head. "Clanymph, use specific metronome: Twin needle." Clanymph's arms turned razor sharp, and she jumped straight at alakazam.

"Use your confusion attack again." Ari ordered. Clanymph froze in the air directly infront of alakazam.

"No! Clanymph, try to break free!" Sall yelled, not wanting to lose so easily. Clanymph slashed her arms around, but it did little if nothing to help.

"Alakazam, finish this with a psypunch." Ari ordered. Alakazam casually walked over to the floating clanymph, and stood at her back so her razor sharp arms wouldn't cut him. He raised his arm, and it started collecting psychic energy. He punched down of clanymph's back hard, and broke his hold on her. The result was clanymph falling to the ground so hard, that she made a small hole.

"Clanymph, can you still fight?" Sall asked. Clanymph slowly crawled out of the hole, but then abruptly fell to the ground exhausted.

"Argggggghhhhh!" Sall said completely annoyed. She returend clanymph to her pokeball. "I'll get you both for this humiliation!" She yelled as she ran away.

"This pokemon battling is pretty fun." Alakazam said.

"That's because you haven't lost yet." Ari said. "And we'll try to keep it that way." He added.

"Hey, were is Rony?" Alakazam asked. They looked around, and found Rony snoring on the ground.

"Oye!" Ari said. "Let's wake him up." He psychicly lifted Rony in the air, and spun him around a bit.

"Whoa Whoa, what's going on?" Rony cried in surprise. Ari set him down on his feet.

"Just waking you up." Ari said.

"Well why didn't you fall asleep." Rony grumbled.

"Well, you know how psychics can use barriers?" Ari explained. " I formed two small, thick ones around my ears so that I couldn't hear the song. A sort of psychic earplug if you will."

"Can we get out of the cave already?" Alakazam asked.

"Sure." Ari said cheerfully. They continued walking until they reached the other end of Mt. Moon. On the way, they caught a paras, and a geodude each.

"Fresh air." Alakazam said happily as they left the cave.

They soon found a small stand with a sign that read, Wierd Rocks. A boy was standing there with a bucket full of oddly shaped rocks.

"Hi, what is the deal here?" Ari asked, trying to get a look at one of these "wierd rocks".

"I found these wierd rocks while diging over there." The boy said, pointing to a location. "I can't find any more. Do you want to buy any?"

"How much are they?" Ari asked, humoring the boy.

"For all six, they are $30." The boy said.

"Wha!" Ari said surprised. "Can I see one of them?" The boy handed him one of the rocks. Ari gave it a close look, and his eyes nearly bulged out of his head. He then quicly regained his composure. "I'll buy them all!" He said quickly, giving the boy the $30.

"Thanks mister!" The boy said happily as he gave the rocks to Ari, and ran away. Now that he sold the rocks, he didn't need to have the stand anymore.

"Why did you buy $30 worth of rocks?" Rony asked. "Can't you get free ones on the ground?"

"These aren't any normal rocks." Ari said. "Look at them!" He gave Rony a rock, and Rony looked at it carefully.

===============================================

This chapter is done!

Why did he buy rocks for so much money? And what kind of rocks are they? See the next chapter to find out!

Did you think Ari won his battles far too easily? If you do, then tell me how it could have been harder. After all, with all the powers a psychic pokemon has, shouldn't it be able to easily win any match? Except for dark pokemon, of course.

Don't forget to review this after reading it!
