After two win in Sprout Tower things looked promising for Dustin, that is until Team Alpha decided to capture the head monk...

~Return the Monk!~

"Took the monk?" Dustin thought, "What do they need him for?"

Shane rolled his eyes, "Remember the blinding move?"

"Uh.." Dustin though back about Hoothoot's flashing move, "O yeah, the big light."

"Yeah..." Shane said, "A Sprout Tower move, Flash, pokemon can only learn it here," Shane then looked over to Doug.

"And," Doug said, "With the head monk," Doug looked ashamed, "They will learn how to seek the legendary pokemon of the burned tower."

"Legendary pokemon?" Dustin asked.

"Too long of a story," Hasu said, grabbing a pokeball in his hand, "We dont have a lot of time," Hasu sent out a pokemon.

"HOO!" a Hoothoot chipred.

"RIGHT!" Shane and Doug said in unision, both of them sending their Hoothoots out.

"Hoothoots," Hasu said, "Catch that ballon!"

"HOO, HOO" the owls said together, flying through the opening of the tower.

"Now," Hasu said, "I will inform the other monks."

"We will go looking for Alpha!" Dustin said.

"Please hurry," Hasu said.

Dustin, Shane, and Doug had made it down to the first floor of the tower, then they walked out of the tower and looked in the sky.

"I cant see it," Shane said, looking up at the air.

"Me either," Dustin said, also looking at the sky.

"We must save our monk!" Doug said.

Meanwhile while the three boys searched for the monk, Ken and Kym were in the air ballon looking at their newest catch.

"The boss," Kym smiled, "Will be pleased."

"I know," Ken said, "We will finally get the legendary Rainbow pokemon!"

The head monk, an elder, he dressed like the other monks, he was short, and now tied up. The head monk shook around and mummbled, he couldnt talk, his mouth closed by tape.

"Shut up!" Kym shouted at him, "Your not going no where!"

"Yeah!" Ken laughed, "We will be promoted to number one!"

"Through out Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn!" Kym's eyes flashed with joy, her head filled with images of fame and fourtune.

"And all because of this old man!" Ken laughed.

Kym laughed too, "And we dont even need that Larvitar any more!"

Ken laughed more, "I know!"

The head monk started mumbling agian and Kym screamed at him.

"Hoo..." three owl pokemon chirped, flying slowly to the ground in front of Dustin, Shane, and Doug.

"Any luck?" Dustin said, the three Hoothoots fell to the ground.

"Guess not," Shane said, returning his pokemon.

"We gotta keep trying," Doug said, he also returned his Hoothoot.

"HOO!" Hasu's Hoothoot chirped and jumped up.

"Whats wrong Hoothoot?" Dustin asked.

"HOO!" the owl continued to jump.

"Its not going to give up," Doug said.

"HOO!" the owl chirped, flying off agian.

"If its not gonna give up," Dustin said, "NEITHER ARE WE!"

"Almost in Violet," Kym said, looking down at the elder man tied up, he tried to talk agian, "SHUT UP!"

"Luckly," Ken said, "We only have to put up with him until we reach Slowpoke Well," Ken smiled, "With the speed were going that shouldnt be long."

"I cant wait," Kym then said, "I can finally get my favorite pokemon!"

"Which ones that?" Ken asked.

"VILEPLUME!" Kym's imagination ran wild, filled with images of Vileplume and her running through a field.

"Vileplume?!" Ken said, crashing Kym's train of thought.

"Yes," Kym said, "An elogant pokemon with a nasty sting."

"Sorrta like you," Ken said.

"Oh course!" Kym laughed.

Hasu paced up and down the first floor of Sprout Tower looking for some type of answer, "What to do, what to do..." he thought, the other monks were allready on the look, Hasu quickly ran out the door.

"MR. MONK!" Dusitn shouted, "TEAM ALPHA!"

"That wont work," Shane said, and rolled his eyes.

"Looks like our options are short," Doug said, looking at Shane.

"I know," Shane pulled out two pokeballs, "SPEAROW PIDGEY GO FIND THE BALLON!" Shane threw the pokeballs and released the two birds.

"PID!" Pidgey chirped flying into the air, following it's master's command.

"SPEAR!" Spearow growled, following Pidgey.

"What do you think happened to that one Hoothoot?" Dustin asked Doug.

"Maybe..." Doug started, "Just maybe...it made it."

Ken and Kym were laughing, at the fable attempt of the monk trying to talk.

"HOO!" Hasu's Hoothoot chirped, it finally caught up with Alpha's ballon.

"HUH?" Kym said, turning around and seeing the Hoothoot. "Whats that?"

"A Hoothoot," Ken answered, the monk mumbled agian, "What's that?" Ken asked, removing the tape from the head monk's mouth.

"HOOTHOOT HELP!" the elder monk yelled.

"HOO!" Hoothoot chirped, behind Hoothoot came Pidgey and Spearow.

"PID!" Pidgey yelled.

"SPEAROW!" Spearow flew behind Pidgey.

"HOOTHOOT!" the elder monk yelled, "GO GET HELP!"

"HOO!" it started to fly away.

"SHUT HIM UP!" Kym said, slapping tape back on the head monk's mouth, "GO ON!" Kym yelled at Pidgey and Spearow.

"SPEAROW!" Spearow said, diving toward Kym.

"GHASTLY!" Kym said, summoning Ghastly into mid-air. "LICK!"

"Ghas..." Ghastly stuck out it's toung as Spearow went to flew into it.

"SPEAR!" Spearow chirped flying back from Ghastly's tounge.

"GHASTLY NIGHT SHADE!" Kym commanded.

"PID!" Pidgey made a gust of wind block away the black energy.

"LOOK ITS HOOTHOOT!" Dustin said, pointing into the air.

"THEY FOUND IT!" Doug said, Hoothoot flew near Doug, "Hoothoot what is it?"

"HOO!" Hoothoot chirped, flapping it's wings.

"LETS GO!" Shane said, Dustin, Shane, and Doug started to run, following Hasu's Hoothoot, they ran down a forest like trail, the road, full of dirt and sand.

"GHASTLY SCARY FACE!" Kym shouted.

"Ghas..." Ghastly said, it's eyes glowing purple.

"PID!" Pidgey said in fear, falling from the sky, a red beam returned it before it hit the ground.

"SPEAROW YOU TOO!" Shane said, returning his Spearow.

"HAND OVER THE MONK!" Dustin shouted from the ground at Kym and Ken.

"COME GET HIM!" Kym stuck her tounge out.

"HOO!" the Hoothoot looked full of energy.

"Whats wrong?" Shane asked Hoothoot, "Hey Doug," he directed the statment to Doug, "This Hoothoot, whats wrong with it?"

"HOO!" Hoothoot chirped, it's body now glowing white.

"ITS EVOLVING!" Doug said.

"Hoo..." the white started to go away, now revealing a tall brown owl, "NOCT!" the taller owl chirped.

"Huh?" Dustin asked, pulling out his pokedex.

"Noctowl," his dex statred, "After evolving from Hoothoot, Noctowl's psychic abilities grow, Noctowl is considered one of the wisest pokemon." Dustin put the dex up.

"Wow," Dustin said, this was the first time he witnessed an evolution.

"Noctowl," Doug said, "GO!"

"NOCT!" Noctowl chirped, flying into the air at Team Alpha's ballon.

"GHASTLY!" Kym commanded, "NIGHT SHADE!"

"Ghas..." the ghost said, shooting a ray of dark energy towards the flying owl.

"NOCTOWL!" Doug shouted into the air, "CONFUSION!"

"NOCT!" Noctowl roared, shooting a psychic ray through the darkness.

"GHAS!" Ghastly yelled in pain, being smacked by the attack.

"O..." Ken said, dazzled.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Kym shouted, "LETS GET GOING!"

"NOT SO FAST!" yelled Doug.

"OWL!" Noctowl flew near the basket like thing Kym, Ken, and the head monk were in.

"GO AWAY!" Ken said, making a hand motion.

"OWL!" Noctowl yelled, picking at the head monk's ropes, setting it free.

"NO!" Kym said, the head monk climbed on Noctowl's back.

"OUR PLAN!" Ken said, Noctowl flew towards the ground with the head monk.

"MY VILEPLUME!" Kym said crying.

"TOTODILE!" Dustin called his water pokemon.

"DILE!" Totodile shouted, coming out of the pokeball.

"Blast 'em away with Water Gun!" Dustin commanded.

"DILE!" Totodile opened it's mouth and sent a rush of water at Team Alpha's ballon.

"O no!" Kym and Ken said together, the water blasting a hole in the air ballon.

"OWL!" Noctowl chirped, the head monk on it's back, Noctowl blasted another psychic ray at the ballon, sending Team Alpha flying into the air.

"YEAH!" Dustin said, another victory.

"NOCT!" Noctowl said, flying at the ground and letting the head monk get off.

"Sir," Doug ran up to the head monk.

"Thank you," the head monk said, removing his tape, "And you too," the head monk looked over at Dustin and Shane.

"No problem!" Dustin said, smiling. Shane nodded.

The four had made it back to Sprout Tower, they were on the first floor.

"NOCTOWL!" Hasu said with glee, "You evolved!"

"OWL!" Noctowl chirped.

"Thank you Shane, Dustin," Hasu said. "Now to the third battle of Sprout Tower?"

"No thanks," Dustin said, "I need to get to Violet City."

"Very well," Hasu said.

"We need to get going Dustin," Shane said, allready at the door.

"Leaving so soon old friend?" Doug asked. Shane smiled.

"Well we gotta go," Dustin smiled, "So I can get my first badge!"

"Good luck," Hasu said, Dustin, Shane, and Doug walked out.

"Bye Dustin, Shane," Doug said.

"Later," Dustin said.

Dustin and Shane had been walking some, when they finally made it to Violet City, the sign approved of that.

"Welcome to Violet City...," Dustin started to read the sign.

"Yeap," Shane siad, "Now we should really get to the gym."

"The center first," Dustin said. Shane rolled his eyes and the two started to walk to the center, Violet City was semi-big it had some pokemon stores, the two walked the streets.

"The center isnt far from here," Shane said.

"Look," a gold haired boy said to a red haired boy, "Its little Fawkner."

"Yeah," the red haired boy said, "What a coward."

Shane ignored them.

"Whats the deal?" Dustin asked.

"Jeleousy," Shane said, he and Dustin had made it to the pokemon center, it was some what big, the sliding doors opened.

"Hello Shane," Nurse Joy said, from the desk.

"Uh..." Dustin said, having flashbacks of the Nurse Joy in Cherrygrove, "Arent you supose to be in Cherrygrove?"

"No silly," Nurse Joy said, Dustin and Shane walked in, "Thats one of my family member though."

"You look just a like," Dustin said.

"I get that all the time," Nurse Joy smiled.

"Ok..." Dustin said, he pulled out his two pokeballs and one ultra ball, "Could you heal my pokemon?"

"Yes," Nurse Joy took his pokemon, Shane mimiced Dustin and Nurse Joy took the pokemon behind the desk.

"I gotta call me mom," Dustin said, walking over to the t.v. phone by the desk, Dustin quickly dialed the number.

After about three rings the screen came on, "HI HONEY!" Dustin's mom shouted with joy, "WHERE ARE YOU?" Dustin's mom was still happy.

"Violet," Dustin said.

"I tried calling your phone," the mom informed Dustin.

"Well..." Dustin looked over at Shane who was by the desk, "It broke."

"Too bad," Dustin's mom said, "Want me to get you another one."

"Uh..." Dustin remembered what Shane had said, "No thanks," Dustin smiled, "O yeah I caught another pokemon."

"Good job honey," his mom smiled.

"I gotta go," Dustin said, "Call you soon," Dustin smiled.

"Ok," Dustin's mom said, "Love you."

"Love you too," Dustin said, the screen went black.

"Your pokemon are healed," Nurse Joy said.

"Thanks," Shane said, grabbing his three pokeballs, "Here," Shane handed Dustin his pokemon.

"Thanks," Dustin said. "Now to the gym!"

"Ok," Shane said, walking out the door, Dustin following him.

"Good luck," Nurse Joy said, the sliding doors closing.
