Chapter Six - Seadra Sighting!

The next morning they thanked the old woman for letting them stay and set off bright and early! Later on

"I saw the way you looked at her Brock! You fancied the old woman!" Said Ash

"No way Ashy-boy! He only had eyes for her Jynx!" Giggled Jemima

"Awh, shut up you two!" Said Brock

"Ah! We've hit a sore spot!" Said Misty

"Yeah right, If you say so." Said Brock

"And we do!" said Sam

"Oh, I beg to differ! He was looking dreamily at the climbing pansies round the door frame!" Said Jacko, putting on a ridiculous voice

"Feel free to get real." Said Jig

"Or feel expensive, its your call" She added

They were just properly slipping into their taunting when they heard a cry of

"DOOOOOOOOO"

The noise came from behind them. Sam turned round so fast; he fell off his Poliwrath! His Poliwrath dived underwater, underneath him, and came up below Sam, with him on its back. Then the cry came again. They all drew closer to each other. They'd be safer if attacked that way. Misty climbed onto Ash's Lapras, and recalled her Starmie. Victoria climbed on Jemima's Lapras and recalled her Wartortle. Jig recalled her Vaporeon and sat on Jemima's Lapras too. Then there was a huge wave and a large pair of eyes arose from the murky depths. Then the creature pulled itself totally out of the water crying
"DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Ash checked his Pokédex, as did Jemima. The description was
"Seadra. The evolved form of Horsea. Seadra is capable of swimming backwards by rapidly flapping its wing-like pectoral fins and stout tail. It has a very bad temperament."

"Oh dear… that one is pretty big…" Said Ash

"Oh dear? More like AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!" Said Sam

"Well, if you ask me, its cute" Said Misty

"Nobody did though!" Jacko was quick to point out.

"Jackie, Shut up! Samantha, stop being so childish! Misty… WAKE UP AND SMELL THE SALT WATER! That thing? Cute? We'd better battle it or move very quickly!" Said Jemima

The Lapras swam off, but they were not built for speed. The Seadra soon caught up. The Poliwrath was a strong swimmer, but no match for a giant moody Seadra.

"All right Ashy-boy! LET'S BATTLE 'IM!" Said Jemima.

Ash sent out his Bulbasaur, Jemima sent out her Venusaur, Jacko sent out his Haunter, Sam sent out his Victreebel, Jig sent out her Jigglypuff, Victoria sent out her Jynx, Brock leapt onto Ash's Lapras and sent out his Onix, Misty sent out her Horsea. Bulbasaur and Venusaur used the Vine Whip attack to hold the Seadra at bay. Victreebel fastened itself onto the Seadra's massive nose, So the ink the Seadra had previously been spurting all over the place, was now being drank by Victreebel. Jigglypuff sang at the top of its voice while the rest of them blocked up their ears. Jig recalled Jigglypuff as the Seadra was already asleep. Jacko's Haunter used its lick attack and was licked the Seadra's face. Jynx used Ice beam to freeze the Seadra and Onix swung the Seadra round and tossed it high into the sky.

Later on, there was a huge thunderstorm. They were tossed and buffeted by the intensity of the storm. Everything went dark.
