Lola's First Pokemon and More Training
As the sun is rising in the Galar Region, Lincoln is asleep on the couch in his room at the Budew Drop Inn. He begins to stir awake and he opens his eyes to see Lola with a wide smile, up close. Lincoln yells in shock.
"Oh. Morning, Lola." said Lincoln as he got over his shock.
"Morning, Linky." replied Lola, hugging Lincoln. "Okay. Where's that big gold nugget you had?"
"It's...in my backpack." said Lincoln, pointing at his backpack. "I plan to sell it."
"What!? How come!?" asked Lola.
"I can get a lot of money for it." said Lincoln.
"How much are we talking about?" asked Lola.
"20,000 pokedollars." replied Lincoln. Dollar signs appeared in Lola's eyes.
"Oooh! That sounds like a lot of money!" said Lola.
"Yeah. We can use that money to get more supplies for our journey." said Lincoln. Lola looked around at the hotel room.
"So where's everybody else?" asked Lola.
"Oh. Each of us got our own room." said Lincoln.
"How much did that cost you all?" asked Lola.
"Actually, Gym Challengers get free rooms. But it's only until the Gym Challenge Opening Ceremony." said Lincoln.
"Oh." said Lola.
"Let's go see if everyone else is awake. After that, we'll get some breakfast." said Lincoln.
"Okay, Linky." said Lola. After they got showered and dressed, they both headed down to the lobby. They saw everyone else there hanging out with their Pokemon. They all saw Lincoln and Lola get off the elevator and ran over to greet them.
"Hey, Lola!" said Lana as she hugged her twin sister.
"How're you doing, dudette?" asked Luna.
"Did you sleep well?" asked Leni.
"I'm fine, you guys." said Lola.
"That's good to hear." said Lucy out of nowhere from behind Lola, making Lola jump up in fright.
"So what are our plans for today?" asked Clyde.
"Well we have a few hours before the Gym Challenge Opening Ceremony. How about we head into the Wild Area after breakfast and do some training?" suggested Lincoln.
"That sounds good." said Lana. "Maybe I can capture some new Pokemon for my team."
"Hey! I don't have a Pokemon yet. I want one!" said Lola.
"Okay, we'll find one for you." said Lincoln. They all left the Budew Inn and started heading for the south end of Motostoke. As they did, they smelled something sweet coming from one of the stores.
"Mmmm. What's that smell?" asked Lola. They looked around and saw the Pokemon Cafe they were in yesterday.
"That must be the Pokemon Cafe. When we went there to get Leni, Luna, Lucy, Lana, and Clyde's Dynamax Bands, I noticed that they served a variety of pastries and cakes there." said Lincoln.
"Can we get something from there, Linky?" asked Lola.
"I don't see why not. Let's make it quick." said Lincoln. They all head inside and go up to the counter. The man behind the counter sees them and walks over to greet them.
"Hello. How can I help you?" asked the man.
"We'd like to purchase some pastries." said Lincoln.
"Sure, but before we do, would any of you like to battle?" asked the man, surprising them.
"Battle?" asked Lincoln.
"We do battles here as well. If you defeat me in a battle, you'll get a free treat." said the man.
"A free treat?" asked Lola.
"Yes. So would any of you like to battle?" asked the man.
"Linky. Battle him and win that treat." said Lola.
"Sure. A practice battle wouldn't be a bad idea, especially if we get something out of it." said Lincoln. The man takes out a pokeball and throws it, releasing a Pokemon that looks like three hexagons with faces on them joined together with insect wings on the side of two of the hexagons and antennaes sticking out of the same two. Lincoln pulls out his Rotom Phone and points it at the new Pokemon.
"Combee, the Tiny Bee Pokemon. The members of the trio spend all their time together. Each one has a slightly different taste in nectar." said the pokedex.
"This says that Combee is a bug-type Pokemon." said Lincoln as he pulls a pokeball out of his pocket. "Corvisquire, come on out." Lincoln releases Corvisquire from her pokeball. "You ready, Corvisquire?" Lincoln asked.
"As if you had to ask." said Corvisquire.
"Okay, Corvisquire. Use Pluck." said Lincoln. Corvisquire flies in quickly and jams her beak into the Combee, making it fall to the ground unconscious. The man was stunned by how fast his Combee was defeated.
"Wow, kid. Your Pokemon is strong." said the man. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small bag and hands it to Lincoln. Lincoln opens it and pulls out a strawberry shaped candy.
"What's this?" asked Lincoln.
"That's a Strawberry Sweet. It's a special item that can be used to evolve the Pokemon known as Milcery." said the man.
"Well I don't have that Pokemon right now. But I'll hold onto this in case one of us catches one in the future." said Lincoln.
"Very well." said the man. After that, the group bought some pastries for themselves and left the cafe. They stopped by the Pokemon Center to sell the valuable stuff they found for a good amount of money.
"Let's get some more pokeballs while we're here." said Lana.
"Get me some so I can catch some Pokemon." said Lola. They checked out the pokeballs that were available and Lola sees some that catches her eyes. The pokeball was pink and peach in color. "That pokeball looks pretty." The clerk looks over at the pokeball.
"That pokeball is known as a Heal Ball. When you catch a Pokemon with that pokeball, that Pokemon is instantly healed." said the clerk.
"Linky. Buy me some of those pokeballs." said Lola.
"Maybe I should get some of those for myself, too." said Leni. Lincoln and Leni each bought five Heal Balls. They also bought some regular pokeballs for themselves as well. Lincoln gives Lola the Heal Balls he bought, which she puts into her backpack. After that, Lincoln used some of the money he got from selling his Big Nugget to buy Lola her own Rotom Phone. After Lincoln's Rotom Phone downloaded the pokedex app to Lola's Rotom Phone, they left Motostoke to continue training and to catch Lola some Pokemon. They walked down the stairs leaving Motostoke and arrived at the Wild Area. They saw it was very cloudy. As they were walking, Lola reaches into her backpack and pulls out one of her Heal Balls in its smaller form.
"Hey, Linky. How do you work these things?" asked Lola.
"You see that button on it?" asked Lincoln. Lola looks at it and nods. "Push that button on it and it'll get big." Lola pushes the button and the Heal Ball enlarges, which surprises her, causing her to drop it and it rolls across the ground, getting dirty until it stops near some tall grass. Lincoln and the others hears some rustling in the tall grass and a gray, chinchilla-like Pokemon walks out.
"Oh, that Pokemon is so adorable!" said Lola. "What is it?"
"Take out your Rotom Phone and point it at that Pokemon." replied Lincoln. Lola takes out her new Rotom Phone and points it at the Pokemon.
"Minccino, the Chinchilla Pokemon. The way it brushes away grime can be helpful when cleaning. But its focus on spotlessness can make cleaning more of a hassle." said the Rotom Phone. The Minccino walks over to the Heal Ball and begins dusting off the dirt on it with its tail.
"Well that's nice of it to clean my Heal Ball." said Lola. As the Minccino finishes cleaning the Heal Ball, it touches the button with its tail and the Heal Ball opens up and sucks in Minccino. The Heal Ball closes and begins wiggling around a few times until it stops and clicks.
"Wow, Lola, you just caught your first Pokemon without even having to battle it." said Lincoln. Lola walks over to the Heal Ball and picks it up.
"Wow. My first Pokemon." said Lola, looking at the Heal Ball.
"Let's use your Rotom Phone to learn more about it." said Lincoln. Lola and Lincoln look at her Rotom Phone. "Okay, this says your Minccino is a girl, she knows Pound, Baby-Doll Eyes, Helping Hand, Echoed Voice, and Sing. She has the ability, Cute Charm, which has the chance that a Pokemon of the opposite gender that physically attacks her to become infatuated with her, in other words, if a male Pokemon hits her physically, there's a chance that Pokemon will fall in love with her and might not be willing to attack her during battle." Lola puts Minccino's Heal Ball in her backpack.
"Come on, Linky. Help me find more Pokemon." said Lola, grabbing Lincoln by the wrist and walks off, pulling Lincoln along. Luna looks around the Wild Area and sees a purple pillar of light coming out of a den not far from Watchtower Ruins.
"You dudes go ahead, I'm gonna check out that den." said Luna.
"We'll meet at the stairs in a couple of hours." said Lincoln while still being pulled along by Lola.
"Okay." replied the others in unison. Lola kept pulling Lincoln along until they arrived at Rolling Fields near the Meetup Spot where it was really sunny and she releases her grip on Lincoln.
"Okay, Linky. Where should we start looking for Pokemon for me?" asked Lola. Lincoln looks around and spots a berry tree that had berries on it.
"Maybe we should gather berries before we get started." said Lincoln. "There are these blue berries called Oran Berries that restore a little of a Pokemon's health.
"Fine." Lola moaned. She walks over to the tree and begins shaking it, causing berries to fall out. She kept shaking it until something that resembled a big pink cherry falls out of the tree. "Ooh. Look at the size of that cherry."
"That's...not a cherry, Lola." said Lincoln. Lola looked at the 'cherry' again and saw it turning around, revealing it to have a face and stubby feet. Lola takes out her Rotom Phone and points it at the Pokemon.
"Cherubi, the Cherry Pokemon. It nimbly dashes about to avoid getting pecked by by bird Pokemon that would love to make off with its small, nutrient-rich storage ball." said the Rotom Phone.
"This Pokemon looks cute. I'm catching this Pokemon." said Lola.
"You might want to battle it to make it easier to capture." said Lincoln. Lola takes out Minccino's Heal Ball.
"How do I let Minccino out?" asked Lola.
"Just throw the Heal Ball." said Lincoln. Lola does just that and releases Minccino.
"Okay. Now what?" asked Lola.
"Have it use an attack. Tell Minccino to use Pound or Echoed Voice." said Lincoln.
"Okay. Minccino, use, uh...Echoed Voice." said Lola. Minccino spreads her arms apart and opens her mouth and emits a powerful soundwave, which hits Cherubi, knocking her back, but remained standing. It leaps us into the air and spins around, releasing glowing green leaves and spirals in a tornado-like fashion and it heads towards Minccino and it hits her.
"Minccino!" exclaimed Lola. She glares at Cherubi. "You want to play rough, huh?! Minccino, use Pound!" Minccino leaps at Cherubi and pounds it, making it stagger back. It charges at Minccino with incredible speed and rams into her, knocking it to the ground.
"Whoa. That Cherubi is fast." said Lincoln.
"Let's see it outrun another Echoed Voice." said Lola. Minccino emits another soundwave from her mouth and it hits Cherubi, knocking it to the ground. It struggles to get up.
"Lola, I thinks it's weak enough to capture now." said Lincoln. Lola pulls an empty Heal Ball out of her backpack and throws it at Cherubi, hitting it. It gets sucked into the Heal Ball and it falls to the ground and wiggles around before it stops and clicks, indicating Cherubi's capture. "Congratulation, Lola, you caught Cherubi."
"Thanks, Linky." replied Lola. She walks over to Cherubi's Heal Ball and picks it up. Lincoln walks over to the area near the berry tree and picks up an Oran Berry. He walks over to Lola and gives it to her. "Here, Lola, give this to Minccino to help her feel better." Lola takes it and gives it to Minccino and she eats it, restoring a bit of her health. Lola takes out her Rotom Phone to learn about her new Cherubi. "Okay. My Cherubi is a girl, she knows Morning Sun, Tackle, Leafage, and Growth. It's ability is Chlorophyll, which increases her speed when it's really sunny out. That explains why she was so fast." Lola returns Minccino to her Heal Ball and she and Lincoln continue to explore the Wild Area. As they did, Lola and Lincoln took the time to train their Pokemon. Lola's Minncino learned Charm, and her Cherubi learned Helping Hand. Lincoln's Raboot got a bit stronger, Gyarados learned Waterfall, Corvisquire got a bit stronger, Nickit got a bit stronger as well; not only that, something else happened to him. After Nickit's training, he suddenly froze up and glow, surprising Lincoln and Lola. "Linky? What's wrong with Nickit?"
"He's evolving!" said Lincoln. They watched as Nickit began to change. Once the glowing stopped, they saw that Nickit was bigger, his body was longer, he had two mustache-like whiskers on his nose, and he looked like he was wearing a domino mask over his eyes. Lincoln takes out his Rotom Phone and pointed it at his newly-evolved Pokemon.
"Thievul, the Fox Pokemon and the evolved form of Nickit. It secretly marks potential targets with a scent. By following the scent, it stalks its targets from them when they least expect it." said the pokedex.
"Wow. That was amazing how Pokemon can change just like that, Linky." said Lola.
"I know. The same thing can happen to your Pokemon as well." said Lincoln.
"Really?" asked Lola.
"When they meet certain conditions, they will." said Lincoln. They all continued to train with Yamper learning Spark, and Riolu becoming a bit stronger. With Luna, she has reached the den with the purple pillar of light coming out of it. She jumps into it and once she was inside, she looks around and to her delight, she sees a giant Zigzagoon.
"Rockin. I was digging that Zigzagoon back at the inn and now here's my chance to capture my own." said Luna. She takes out a pokeball. "Let's rock, Toxel." She throws Toxel's pokeball and releases him. Luna then returns him to his pokeball and uses her Dynamax Band to make it bigger, then she throws it and releases Toxel as a giant. "All right, Toxel, use Max Ooze." Toxel spreads his arms and a puddle of purple sludge forms under Zigzagoon and it shoots up as a pillar and engulfs Zigzagoon, damaging him. Toxel body bulges due to Max Ooze's effect of increasing its user's attack. Zigzagoon unleashes two streams of purple energy (Max Darkness) and it hits Toxel, damaging him. Toxel sulks from Max Darkness weakening his defense. "Use Max Lightning." said Luna. Toxel flails his arms and a huge lightning bolt comes down from the sky and it hits Zigzagoon, damaging it. Zigzagoon charges Toxel and rams him with its head. "Use Max Ooze again." Toxel spreads his arms and a pillar of purple sludge erupts from the ground below Zigzagoon and damages it. Zigzagoon explodes with energy and it freezes in place. Luna enlarges an empty pokeball with her Dynamax Band and she throws it at Zigzagoon. It opens up and sucks Zigzagoon in and it falls to the ground and it moves around a few times before it shrinks down to its original size. "Rock on. Zigzagoon is mine." She exits the den and takes out her Rotom Phone to learn about her new Zigzagoon. "Okay. My new Zigzagoon is female, she knows Tackle, Leer, Sand Attack, Snarl, and Headbutt. She has the ability, Pickup just like Lana's Bunnelby. She picks up a Technical Record containing a move called Throat Chop, a gold nugget, and a red, spiky berry from around the den, puts them in her backpack and continues to explore the Wild Area. With Lana, she was walking around, training her Pokemon. During the training, Bunnelby learned Bulldoze. After that, Bunnelby suddenly froze up.
"Hey, Bunnelby. What's wrong?" asked Lana. Suddenly, Bunnelby started to glow and change. "Whoa. Bunnelby, you're evolving!" When Bunnelby stopped glowing, Lana saw that he was bigger, his ears were longer with the tips of them looking like big paws. He also had a big, belt-like, brown and yellow ring of fur around his waist. Lana pulls out her Rotom Phone and points it at her newly-evolved Pokemon.
"Diggersby, the Digging Pokemon, and the evolved form of Bunnelby. With power equal to an excavator, it can dig through dense bedrock. It's a huge help during tunnel construction." said the pokedex.
"That is so cool! We can do a lot of digging together!" said Lana as she hugged her new Diggersby, making him smile. Lana continued training her Pokemon with Tympole becoming a bit stronger, and Drilbur learning Metal Claw and Sandstorm. As they did more exploring in the Rolling Fields area, Lana sees a Pokemon Den with a red beam coming out of it. "I wonder what's in that Pokemon Den." Lana walks up to it and gets sucked in. When the light cleared, Lana saw a purple, frog-like Pokemon with round orange cheeks that seem to inflate when it breathes, a white, belt-like design around its waist, and its hands are mostly black with one orange finger on each one. Lana takes out her Rotom Phone and points it at the new Pokemon.
"Croagunk, the Toxic Mouth Pokemon. It makes frightening noises with its poison-filled cheek sacs. When opponents flinch, it hits them with a poison jab." said the pokedex.
"I like how you look like a frog. I think I'll capture you." said Lana as she takes out Drilbur's pokeball and uses her Dynamax Band to enlarge it. She throws it and releases her Dynamaxed Drilbur. "Okay, Driblur. Use Max Quake!" Drilbur digs into the ground and releases a shockwave through it which hits Croagunk, doing super-effective damage. Croagunk releases a Max Ooze attack which hits Drilbur, but doesn't do a lot of damage, due to her being a ground-type Pokemon. "Oh, yeah?! Drilbur, use one more Max Quake!" Drilbur does so, doing enough damage to make the energy inside Croagunk explode, paralyzing it. Lana takes out a pokeball, uses her Dynamax to enlarge it, and throws it at Croagunk. Croagunk gets sucked into it and is captured. "Oh, yeah! I caught a Croagunk!" She leaves the den and picks up the berries, an Aura Sphere TR, and a Nugget. She uses her Rotom Phone to find out more about her new Croagunk. "Okay. This says you're a boy, you know the moves Poison Sting, Mud-Slap, Astonish, Taunt, Flatter, and Revenge. You have the Dry Skin ability which makes it so that water-type attacks heal you instead of hurting you. I like how you know Mud-Slap, which means more mud for me to play with." After that, Lana used a Potion to heal Croagunk and she trained him for a while. During the training, Croagunk learned Venoshock. She then continued to explore the Wild Area. Lucy also trained her Pokemon, preferring to train at the Watchtower Ruins. Her Duskull soon learned Confuse Ray and Night Shade, her Gastly learned Spite, her Gothita learned Charm, her Phantump learned Will-O-Wisp, and her Noibat learned Wing Attack. Clyde was training his Pokemon at Dappled Grove. Soon, his Ralts learned Psybeam, and Purrloin learned Torment. With Leni, she was training her Pokemon, with them getting stronger. Her Vulpix learned Confuse Ray, her Bounsweet learned Magical Leaf, and her Ralts also learned Psybeam. All in all, everyone's Pokemon got a lot stronger. They all soon met back at the stairway into Motostoke. Everyone talked about the progess they made with their training.
"I say we're all making great progress." said Lincoln.
"You bet! I like my new Diggersby and Croagunk." said Lana.
"My Pokemon are so cute. I just wish that I can Dynamax my Pokemon so I can go into Pokemon Dens and get valuable stuff." said Lola.
"You need a Dynamax Band which you need a Wishing Star to make." said Lincoln.
"How do you get a Wishing Star?" asked Lola.
"Wishing Stars only appear to those who hold a true wish in their hearts." said Clyde. Lola closed her eyes and put her hands over her heart. Suddenly, a stream of light falls from the sky and hits the ground nearby. They look and to their surprise, they find a Wishing Star. Lola grabs it and holds it out to them.
"Is this a Wishing Star?" asked Lola.
"Yeah." they all said with surprise.
"Now all we need to do is to get someone to make a Dynamax Band with it." said Lana.
"Let's go into the city. It's almost time for the Gym Challenge Opening Ceremony." said Luna. With that, they all enter Motostoke City.
