Chapter 3-The Beauty of the Lake

=======

When we left Seth he have gotten a new Pokemon and a new friend. Pichu had saved both Seth and Torchic from the watery death from a Staryu. We now see the crew looking for the next village, Cascade Town.

"Man I'm hungry, " mumbled Seth as he drug his feet on the ragged dirt path. Seth continue on as he saw a lake dead ahead.

"A lake!" Seth shouted as he sprinted toward it. He studied a sign as he ran by. It read: Welcome to Lake Feebas. Seth continued on to look at the beautiful glistening lake.

"I wonder what the heck a Feebas is," questioned Seth to himself. Suddenly an ugly brown fish jumped onto the shore next to Seth.
"What in the world is this Pokemon," Seth said as he pulled out his PokeDEX. He pointed it toward the mysterious and very ugly Pokemon.

The PokeDEX said: Feebas's fins are ragged and tattered from the start of its life. Because of its shoddy appearance, this Pokemon is largely ignored. It is capable of living in the sea, lake, and rivers.

"Ah so this is what a Feebas is it sure is ugly," Seth complimented to the Feebas. Seth picked up the floppy Feeebas and tossed it back into the lake. Suddenly Seth heard a rustle in the bushes.

"Reveal yourself whoever you are!" Seth yelled.

"Kid you do not want to know," laughed a mysterious deep voice. Out of the bushes revealed a broad man with a blue bandana with a symbol on it, a black leather jacket with no shirt under it showing his bare chest and blue pants. Behind him followed another person dressed like a pirate.

"My name is Mark leader of Team Aqua," Mark told Seth "Team Aqua is an organization to expand the ocean so that more water Pokemon can survive and devour this awful hard land. We dislike fire Pokemon! Its time to get rid of you so that we can get that Milotic in this lake." Mark and his partner raised up their pokeballs and threw them.

"I choose you Vaporeon," Mark shouted and out reveal a weird fish like pokemon with legs. Seth pulled out his PokeDEX.

The PokeDEX said: Vaporeon underwent a spontaneous mutation and grew fins and gills that allow it to live underwater. This Pokemon has the ability to freely control water.

"I choose you Carvanha," Shout the Aqua Grunt. Seth pointed his PokeDEX at the fish with the very sharp teeth.

The PokeDEX said: Carvanha's strongly developed jaws and its sharply pointed fangs pack the destructive power to rip out boat hulls. Many boats have been attacked and sunk by this Pokemon.

"I wont allow you to take a Pokemon with out it agreeing with you" Seth yelled at Team Aqua "Pichu and Torchic I choose you!" Seth threw the two pokeballs.

"Ah so you're using a weakling fire type pokemon this should be easy," Mark said "Vaporeon Water gun it"
"Carvanha do the same to his Pichu!" shouted the grunt. Suddenly a huge dragon pokemon flew in front of Torchic and Pichu, preventing the attacks from hitting them.

"Hey where did that Dragonite come from!!" Mark yelled. Suddenly a person dropped from the treetops up above.
The mysterious stranger looked like a medieval jester, with hat with bells on and seemed to have a dark color scheme. He had on baggy cargo pants where he kepted his pokeballs and he had a rapier at his side.

"You sir the one they call Mark are a disgrace to be a Pokemon trainer," said the jester "How dare you pick on a beginning trainer. I am Jim the wanderer and shall beat you for picking on trainers and trying to steal a Pokemon going against its free will. Dragonite use Thunder!" The huge Pokemon flew up into the sky and summoned a bolt of lightning from the sky striking both Vaporeon and Carvanha. The two Pokemon fainted. The Dragonite landed back to the ground with a thud.

"I'm going to get that Milotic but NOBODY IS GOING TO STOP ME!" Mark bellowed "I choose you Feraligatr go and lure out the Milotic!" The Feraligatr dived under the water.

"I won't let you take that Milotic," Seth shouted. Seth threw of his shirt and dived into the water. The Feraligatr sensed Seth and started to bang up against Seth.

"Gyrados go assist that trainer!" said Jim as he threw his pokeball. A long sea blue dragon Pokemon dropped into the water. The Gyrados swam toward Seth and put him on its back and tackled Feraligatr knocking it off course and causing it to sink down deeper. Gyrados surfaced and Seth toward heavy breathes to get air into his lungs.

As the Feraligatr was sinking it caught a glimpse of a shining Pokemon emitting of a bright light. It swam full speed spooking the snakelike Pokemon. The Pokemon hustled up to the top revealing itself.

"It's Milotic!" Mark shouted. Seth jumped up and jumped infront of it using his own body as a shield. Mark's Vaporeon jumped up and sped toward Seth about to tackle him but suddenly a bright light luminated from Pichu as it changed into a different form.

"Pika PIKA!" Pikachu squealed as it summoned a Thunder attack toward Vaporeon hitting it directly.

"Wha-what how did it evolve? It did it just to save its trainer I just don't understand," Mark mumbled "Vaporeon and Feraligatr return!" Mark throw a smoke bomb on the ground hiding him and his grunt, when the smoke vanished they were gone.

"Kid are you okay?" question Jim. Jim held up his hand to help Seth up. "What is your name I see a great trainer before me."

"My name is Seth," Seth answered "I can't believe it though my Pichu evolved just to save me from Vaporeon" Seth walked over to Pikachu and hugged it, he then started to form tears.

"Pikachu thank you and you to Torchic come over here," Seth happily cried.

"Pika Pika!"

"Tor Tor!"

Seth then noticed the Milotic and pointed his PokeDEX at it.

The PokeDEX said: Milotic is the evolved form of Feebas. Milotic live at the bottom of large lakes. When this Pokemon's body glows a vivid pink, it releases a pulsing wave of energy that brings soothing calm to restless spirits. Also Milotic is said to be the most beautiful of all the Pokemon. It has the power to becalm such emotions as anger and hostility to quell bitter feuding.

"Wow from an ugly Pokemon to one of the most beautiful things I've seen, its just so amazing" Seth said in aw. The Milotic slithered back into Lake Feebas to return back to the home of its depths.

"Jim thank you for your help if it weren't for you I probably wouldn't have been here now," Seth told Jim.

"No problem I think you will be a great trainer," Jim complimented to Seth "Cascade Town is just north of here. Well until we meet again, Seth!" The two went their separate ways.

"I will the be greatest Pokemon master"
