The Journey Called Pokemon
By: Po-Gi-Z
Po-Gi-Z: ::Bows politely:: I am so sorry everyone for delaying in the current chapters. I know I am one to love cliffhangers, but I believe this was a little too much. My apologies for not keeping up with the story.
Stephen: Yeah, you should be. After all, everyone has been patiently waiting for me to reappear and all you have done is prolong the inevitable.
Celebi: ::Uses Leech Seed to tangle Stephen and shut him up::
Cyrus: Nice idea. Why didn't I think of telling you to do that earlier the moment he opened up his mouth?
Chase: Well, we forgive you Po-Gi-Z. Just get on with the new chapter already.
Po-Gi-Z: Yes of course. Hopefully, you all haven't forgotten the last chapter. Let me quickly refresh your memory and start the new post. First off, Chase was training his Psyduck and was having a rough time doing so. But, as he was training, out came an Oddish and he took the opportunity to try and catch it. However, Oddish got the best of both Psyduck and Chase when it let out all three pollen attacks. Stun Spore, Sleep Powder, and Poison Powder. Each character was affected with a different powder.
Everyone: Which we would like to ask, how did Oddish get poisoned if it is a poison type?
Po-Gi-Z: ::Sighs:: I had a feeling this would come up. Normally a poison type can not become poisoned. However, it has been brought to some people's attention that Pokemon with characteristics of Poison and another type can very well be poisoned, but still have a very slim chance of being poisoned.
Chase: I see, so since Oddish is plant/poison, it was poisoned for the simple fact it was not a pure poison type, like, Muk.
Po-Gi-Z: Exactly. Also, it was not poisoned in a normal way. If you realized, it was infected with it by a bubble covered in Poison Powder, so it also had another factor to take into consideration.
Cyrus: ::Nods:: Yeah, like there are some places humans are not affected by poison, but others that need special care since they can get easily poisoned.
Po-Gi-Z: Now you got it. OK, enough idle chit chat. Everyone wants to know what happens to Psyduck and Oddish.

Chapter 9: New Friend And New Destination
Luckily for Psyduck, a sudden breeze blew by and aimed the petals a little over his head, but most were dead bull's-eye on poor Psyduck's head.
"Psy…duck…Psy…duck!" Psyduck exclaimed as each petal hit with more force than the last. But miraculously, Psyduck's eyes began to turn a very shiny blue. Still cringing from the effect of paralysis and trying to still fight it, Chase noticed this wonder as he heard his Pokechex mumbling in his half opened knapsack.
'Beep!'
: Since Psyduck is classified as a psychic type as well, when ever it gets one of its major headaches, it is able to enforce a strong Confusion or Disable attack against the opponent. It even has a slight chance of confusing the opponent:
A smile crossed over Chase's face, tears forming in his eyes, as he is now able to experience for the first time a Psyduck, his own, using psychic attacks. The petals continued to strike Psyduck as Chase cringed with anger and fear for his Pokemon. Yet, when he tried to shout for Psyduck to use an attack, Chase realized he was now freely able to call out,
"Psyduck, Confusion!"
Hearing his trainer, Psyduck raised his webbed feet high into the air. Doing so, the petals that were still traveling in midair stopped instantly and began to back track towards Oddish. Oddish, realizing all the petals are aiming towards it now, began to panic and run about frantically. Yet, just like Psyduck, it tripped and was caught by each single petal and engulfed completely by them.
"Psyduck." Psyduck proudly said as his eyes turned back to their pearly whites and he held the side of his head with one webbed foot.
Able to stand a bit, and freely move his muscles now, Chase got up and smiled.
"Good going Psyduck. I knew you would make me proud." Chase happily announced.
"Psyduck Psy." Psyduck shyly replied.
As Psyduck was waddling over to Chase to give him a hug, the pile of petals began to shake as Oddish quickly jumped out in a burst of fury.
"ODDISH!" It cried out.
Chase heard the Oddish and noticed it headed straight for Psyduck. Quickly reacting, Chase signaled to Psyduck by pointing to Oddish. Without really knowing and reacting on instinct, Chase called out,
"Bubble!" Psyduck stopped dead in his tracks and turned around. He then squinted with anger as he stared at the Oddish heading towards him. Responding to his trainer's call, he took in a deep breath, opened his bill, and released a flourish of bubbles, each connecting with emphasis against the Oddish. Soaring through the sky, but being hit by the bubbles, Oddish quickly gets stunned and falls to the floor. Hitting the floor hard, swirls appear on Oddish's eyes as it twitches, still being affected by the poison it still has on it. Gasping and then nodding right afterwards, Chase reached into the knapsack and pulled out a Pokeball. He looked to Psyduck and handed him the Pokeball. "You are the one that battled, I think you deserve the honor of capturing our first friend." Chase said in respect. Grasping the Pokeball, while still smiling at his trainer, Psyduck nodded and waddled over to the fainted Oddish. Tossing the Pokeball into the air, Psyduck quickly watched it and was timing it right, for when it reached midway his body, he did a half turn and whacked the Pokeball, sending it through the air with a crashing force and finally ending its destination by tapping Oddish on its leaves and opening. Opened, and waiting for the final step, a beam of red light shoots from the Pokeball as it engulfs Oddish, turning it bright red, and entering it into the Pokeball at the suction of a vacuum cleaner at full force. The Pokeball finally closed and landed on the floor. While there, the button on the Pokeball turned red as it wiggled furiously. Slightly, you could hear Chase wishing for the Oddish to stay in the Pokeball.
"Please stay in. Please stay in the Pokeball Oddish." Chase whispered.
And as if Lady Luck was on his side, the Pokeball ceased to shake and the red button returned to its normal white color, symbolizing that Oddish has been successfully captured. With a sigh of relief, Chase wipes the sweat off his brow as his Psyduck goes to the Pokeball and picks it up. He looks it over curiously as if making sure Oddish can't escape, and waddles back to Chase with a grin of satisfaction.
"Psyduck." Psyduck said, giving the Pokeball to Chase.
Accepting the Pokeball, Chase pats Psyduck's head and then looks, what seems to be an endless amount of time, at the Pokeball.
"To think, you and I had the ability to capture this Pokemon." Chase began to say. He looked down at Psyduck who was quietly nodding off, but bobbing back and forth trying to stay awake. Making sure he was clear of his paralysis state, Chase put the Pokeball into his knapsack, grabbed the Pokeflute and did the same with it, and closed the knapsack. He then picked up his Psyduck and his knapsack, placed the knapsack on his right shoulder and carried Psyduck as if it were a newborn baby. As Psyduck fell asleep in the blink of an eye, Chase smiled looking at his wonderful Pokemon. "You deserve the rest Psyduck. You did well."
"Psy…duck…Psy…duck…Psy…duck." Psyduck softly snored.
While walking, Chase peered over his shoulder and looked at the knapsack.
"And I know you'll be just as great Oddish. Once I take you and Psyduck to the next Pokemon Center." Chase spoke.
Looking back at the path he began walking, Chase looked up to the afternoon sun and smiled as a very soft, and very quiet thank you escaped his lips. We all know what Chase is thankful for, a great Pokemon by his side, and the opportunity to go on this wonderful journey. This battle is just one of many others Chase must fight, and most tougher by ten fold. But, with Psyduck and now Oddish by his side, Chase has more of a fighting chance. Now that he is headed towards Viridian City and hopefully his first gym, Chase is looking forward to his first badge, maybe some more new friends and of course a chance at more Pokemon to catch. Who knows? He might even save the day, or get an unexpected visit from some no good do-gooders. Let's see what lies in the future for our beloved friends as they continue the path, onward to Viridian City and determined to face their next challenge that lies ahead.
Po-Gi-Z: Short and sweet.
Chase: ::Frowning:: A little too short if you ask me.
Cyrus: ::Was looking a little upset as well:: You mean to tell us you had us waiting all this time for this measley ending?
Po-Gi-Z: ::Jumps back with fear:: Now guys. Calm down. You should be happy Chase. You got yourself a new Pokemon Oddish.
Chase and Cyrus: ::Quickly rushed towards Po-Gi-Z to tear him to shreds::
Mysterious Stranger: ::Gets in way of Chase and Cyrus:: Nobody is going to get this guy except for me and my Pokemon.
Everyone: Who are you?
Po-Gi-Z: ::Smiles:: Even though I had you all waiting for this chapter, it doesn't mean I didn't have other chapters planned for such an occasion. This stranger is someone that, well, you could say will take the place of Stephen when he is not around.
Mysterious Stranger: That's right. When I am around, get ready to meet with some trouble. If you want to find out who I am, get ready for the trilogy to end all trilogies. This is where Chase Star will meet his match.
Chase: Awww...you don't scare me. I got Psyduck and Oddish on my side.
Cyrus: And, as long as I have Celebi by my side, nothing will go wrong here.
Celebi: ::Flies around the stranger angrily, agreeing with Cyrus::
Po-Gi-Z: You all talk high and mighty, but wait until the next chapter.
