It was getting dark by the time Samuel got to the fisherman's house. The fisherman opened the door to him before he could even knock.
"Good evening, young trainer. Welcome to my home. May I offer you a drink?" he asks.
Samuel accepted his hospitality graciously. He sat at the table and had tea with his new friend, who told him his Pokemon were welcome in his home too. He offered Samuel a place to stay for the night and gave him the good rod he had come to get.
Too excited to sleep, Samuel took his fishing rod and Pokemon out to the dock to fish. His Rattata and Kangashkan were snoozing peacefully beside him, Pidey pecking at pieces of cookie on his shoulder. Samuel yawned just as his Kangashakan's eyes snapped open.
"What? What is it, Kangashakan?" he asks.
She points at a small blue Pokemon waddling towards them. Samuel stood then.
"It's a Polywag. Rattata, use your Quick Attack." he says.
He rushes towards the Polywag, knocking it off it's feet. In response, it ises it's Bubble attack on him. The two Pokemon exchanged blows for a few minutes, and Rattata fell to the ground, Pidgey used it's Gust attack to finish the battle. Samuel used his pokeball and watched as the ball stopped moving.
"You caught that Polywag. Nice work." the fisherman says.
"Thanks." Samuel says, as happy as his Pokemon were. June 3
Giovanni and Deliah celebrated his newest capture by spending the night on the S.S. Anne. They had recieved an invitation from a partygoer on the dock and shared a private cabin. Deliah wasn't sure what to think about their sleeping arrangements, but he promised to be a perfect gentleman.
They went to the dance they were having on the main deck. He told her he would meet her upstairs and handed her a large package.
"Don't open this until I leave." he told her.
Once he left, she opened the package to reveal the most beautiful dress she'd ever seen. It was an almost floor length sky blue taffeta dress with matching lace trim. She read the note he had enclosed:
A dress for the lady whose beauty knows no bounds...love, Giovanni.
She smiled, embracing the dress against her. It was times like this that she truly loved him, when he would do things like this to completely overwhelm her senses.
She joined him on the main deck and saw that he wore a suit in the same color as her dress.
"Oh Deliah..." he says, at a loss of words.
She smiles and embraces him.
"Would you like to dance?" she asks.
He smiled and took her offered hand. The crowd parted to watch the young couple dance, the two of them only seeing the other.
"Thank you, Deliah." Giovanni says.
"Thank you for what?" she asks.
"For being so patient with me on this journey. I'm sorry that I've been so short with you; I've just been under a lot of stress. You know how badly I want to succeed as a Pokemon trainer." Giovanni says.
"I understand completely. I know everything will work out." Deliah says.
He smiles then. "I love you so much, Deliah." he says.
"I love you too, Giovanni." she says.
They smile at each other, contiuning to dance even though the music had ended... Dear Agatha,
I have had an eventful couple days. Since I write you last, I have captured two more Pokemon, a Polywag and a Pinsir. The Pinsir was actually a trade from another trainer I promised to capture another Pokemon for. His name was Flynt, the son of the Pewter City gym leader.
I felt bad last night because I forgot that I had him, and didn't let him out of his pokeball overnight. He's at level ten, and knows vicegrip and cut. Flynt taught him the HM move.
The Polywag I caught last night while I was fishing near Vermillion. As I am writing you, I am heading towards the Pokemon fan club meeting.
The fisherman who gave me my good rod invited me. He told me if I listen to the president of the fan club talk, I would win some kind of prize.
The meeting is very entertaining. The members love their Pokemon very much, and the building is filled with all kinds of Pokemon, every type you can imagine. The president of the club is the same age as I am, and told us all about his favorite, Rapidash. He went on and on about it's wonderful qualities, and gave us all bike vouchers to use at Cerealean City bike shop.
Now I am heading back to Pewter City, so I can battle for my first badge. I decided to avoid the Pokemon center and used potions on my Pokemon to prepare them.
I walked into the gym and was confronted by Flynt, who challenged me to a battle.
I decided to use my Kangashakan, while he used his Exeggcute. His Pokemon used Hypnosis on mine to make her fall asleep, so I recalled her and sent out my Rattata. He scattered the egg Pokemon with his Quick Attack, before it countered with it's Barrage attack.
Then I remembered something you told me, that grass types were vulnerable to flying types. I recalled Rattata and sent Pidgey into the fray. She artfully used her sand attack to distract her enemy, and then finshed it off with Quick Attack.
It was then that I met the Pewter City gym leader, who came up to greet me being the victor.
"Nice work there, young man. My son is a very skilled trainer, but so it seems are you. My name is Phelan. Would you like to battle?" he asks me.
I accepted his challenge, and sent out my newly captured Polyway. He sent out his Ryhorn.
Before I could issue commands, his Pokemon had already attacked mine, using his Horn Attack. I was impressed with my water type's skills as it dodged the larger Pokemon's attack. I commanded it to use Bubble, and it took down the enemy in one shot.
I hadn't known rock types were so vulnerable to water, but I wasn't going to let my guard down. He sent out his second and last Pokemon, an Aerodactyl.
I was shocked. I had thought this Pokemon had been extinct. He told me that before he had bcome a gym leader, he had worked at the Pokemon research lab on Cinnabar Island, where he had revived his ancient Pokemon from fossiled old amber.
Impressive, I thought. I decided to stick with my Polywag, who launched his Bubble attack. His Pokemon used Agility to dodge the water attack, using his Wing Attack to inflict a great deal of damage. Then I found out he had taught his Aerodactyl Fly.
As it swooped down to deliever the final blow, I recalled Polywag and sent out Pinsir. He caught the flying type in his pinsirs and slammed him onto the ground. I thne recalled him and sent out my Polywag to finsh the job with his Bubble attack.
I won the Boulderbadge!! I couldn't of done it without my trusted Pokemon or without remembering what you had told me, my love.
Thank you.
Love, Samuel It felt so good to finally get some rest thst neither Deliah or Giovanni wanted to get out of bed. They had shared the same bed overnight, but not much had happened.
After spending a wonderful night together at the arty, they had gone back to their cabin and immediately fallen into each other's embrace. They took turns using the bathroom to change into their bedclothes, finding each other again int he darkened room. Keeping his promise to her as he intended, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms. Deliah smiled and snuggled up against her sleeping boyfriend, her mind running a million miles a minute. she thought about Giovanni and their Pokemon, and about Samuel.
I miss him, she thought. I miss having lunch together everyday int he courtyard, talking about Pokemon and our plans for the future.
Her goals were not as lofty as Giovanni and Samuel's. She planned to finish her education, then settle down and get married. she envisioned her and Giovanni having children and her doing volunteer work while he traveled.
that was how she and Samuel had met., doing volunteer work. They had both signed up to work one summer at Professor Fir's lab when she was ten and she was twelve. She believed that neither of them would have met it through that summer without each other's help. I hope he's doing okay, she thought. She noticed that Giovanni was staring at her.
"You're not dressed yet?" he asks.
She blushed, realizing that she was still in her night clothes. She got up and grabbed her clothes quickly, going into the bathroom to change. There was a knock on the door. Goiovanni answered. It was the captain of the ship.
"Good morning. Is this the room of Giovanni and Deliah?" he asks.
"I'm Giovanni." he says.
The captain held out a small object shaped similiar to a pokeball.
"Seems as though you an your lady friend won the contest we were having last night. Here's your prize, the Hidden Machine, Cut." the captain says.
"Wow! You can teach that to your Krabby. Thank you, captain." Deliah says.
"Congratulations, and good luck on your travels." he says. Thanks to battling int he Pewter City gym and winning the Boulderbadge, all of my Pokemon are now at level twelve. My Pidgey is four levels away from evolving to Pidgeotto, so I hope we'll reach that goal at Mt. Moon. This is where we are traveling now. I let my Pidgey rest omy shoulder so I can level it up quicker.
It quickly spotted a Pokemon in the grass nearby. It was an Ekans. This one I definitely wanted to catch, a mid-level snake Pokemon. Pidgey used it's Quick Attack to weaken it, but then the Ekans countered with Wrap.
I felt stupid for not expecting that, and sent out my Polywag to help. He used his Bubble attack to distract him so Pidgey could get loose, and she retailated with another Quick Attack. It was then that I threw my pokeball. This Pokemon put up quite a fight, struggling against it's capture, but eventually it was mine.
Now I had six. Pinsir, Kangashakan, Rattata, Pidgey, Polwag, and Ekans. I was well prepared for the challenges of Mt. Moon. I was grateful that there was a Pokemon center before I entered, because I needed to heal my Pokemon and drop off my Rattata so I could capture some more Pokemon in the mountains. "We finally made to Pewter City. Are you going to take on the gym leader?" Deliah asks.
"You'll have to go through me first." Flynt tells them.
He escorted them to the gym where he began the battle.
"One Pokemon each." Flynt says.
They pulled out their pokeballs.
"Go, Charmander." Flynt says.
Giovanni releases his Krabby.
"Krabby, use Bubble!" he shouts.
Flynt gasps as he watches his Pokemon go down with one hit.
"How did you do that?" Flynt cries.
Giovanni smiles. "I may look like a beginner, but my Krabby is at a higher level than your Pokemon." he says, laughing.
"Not respecting your opponent is going to be your downfall, young trainer." Phelan told him.
Giovanni smirked. "If you underestimate me, that'll be yours." Giovanni told him.
What Phelan didn't know was that Giovanni had spent all day training his Pokemon, and now they were all at level fifteen, five levels higher than any of the gym Pokemon.
I guess I need to teach you the hard way. One Pokemon each! Go, Rhyhorn." Phelan says.
Giovanni smiled. What a joke this gym was, he thought.
"Krabby, use Bubble." he commands.
Phelan smiles. "You must really think I'm a pushover. Rhyhorn, use your Horn Attack." he says.
The larger Pokemon dodged the water attack, barraging the smaller one with his. Giovanni gasped, not expecting this.
"Useless Pokemon." he says.
He reacalls Krabby and sends out his Nidoran female. Sensing her master's frustration, she cried out as she began to glow.
"What's going on? What's happening?" Delaih asks.
"I think she's evolving." Giovanni says.
They all watched as the light faded to reveal Nidorina. Giovanni smiled.
"Nidorina, let's finish this. Use your Double Kick attack." he says.
Rhyhorn reeled and fell to the impact of the surprise attack. Phelan shook his head in disbelief.
"I guess I was wrong about you. You and your Pokemon fought well. You earned this badge." he says.
"Only I earned this badge. My Pokemon were merely a means in which to achieve it." Giovanni says.
Phelan sighed. Maybe I wasn't wrong after all...
