***ONE DAY TIL CHRISTMAS! Yeah Yeah! This MIGHT be the last chapter I do before Christmas but I might do another one later***

~The Phanpy Farm!~

Still making their way to Ecruteak City and the next Pokemon Gym our heros came to a field full of grass.

"Where do we go from here?" Jen asked, "I mean I don't see nothing...no road or anything like that."

"I guess we go straight..." Shane sighed, "We're completely lost...agian..."

"Nah," Dustin smiled, "Besides look over there!" Dustin pointed across the field to a small red barn and some fences around it.

"A farm...?" Jen asked, "What can we do there?"

"Ask for directions I guess," Dustin replied, "It's worth a try."

"Ok," Jen said as the three started to walk to the farm.

Meanwhile a very completely lost Team Alpha searched through the grass fields that Dustin and the gang we're walking in.

"Kym..." Ken whined as he braged himself through the fields, "I'm so tired..."

"I am too," Kym replied, "But there has to be a center of a place we can rest around here..." Kym continued to walk when a huge elaphant

"AH!" Ken screamed as the massive beast grunted, "What is that thing?!"

"A Donphan!" Kym shouted, "How the boss would love it!"

"I though we don't care about the boss!" Ken added.

"I was just...kidding," Kym lied, "Now Donphan come here!"

"Phan..." it grunted and came closed to Kym, it's tusk sharp and pointed put Ken in a horrified state.

"Houndour Ember!" Ken quickly send out his dog pokeon which howled and shot out a redish orange fireball.

"DON!" Donphan was hit in the nose area, "PHAN!" it grew angry.

"Smooth move!" Kym replied, "Now it's mad!"

"DON!" Donphan started galloping at Team Alpha.

"RUN!" Kym and Ken screamed at the same time as they quickly jetted across the fields, Houndour following and barking.

Dustin and the gang had made it to the farm like area and saw nobody excpt for a coupld of small elephants in the fences.

"What are those?" Dustin asked and pulled out his pokedex.

"Phanpy," Devon started, "The Long Nose Pokemon, Phanpy often store water in their nose to cool themselves off in the hot summer."

"Awesome," Dustin said as he put up his pokedex. "I wounder who they belong to?"

"Me," a man with slick brown hair dressed in overhauls said as he walked out of the barn, "What are folks doin' here?"

"We just got lost and came for directions," Shane replied.

"Why didn't 'ya say so?" the farmer's face turned into a smile, "My name is Jedidha everyone calls me Jed though."

"I'm Dustin," Dustin replied.

"Jen."

"Shane."

"So where you folks headed' to?" Jed asked curious.

"Eckruteak City," Dustin said, "I'm going there for a battle at the gym."

"You don't say," Jed smirked, "It ain't too far from here, could I intrest you with a glass of water?"

"Sure," Dustin replied smiling.

"I'm glad we got away from that beast," Ken faintly said, lying in the grass area.

"I thought we was finished for," Kym repsonded, "Why did you use your Houndour? I could've got it."

"I got scared," Ken huffed some, "I've never liked Donphans....everysince I was little..."

~*~Flashback~*~

"Oh Phanpy I love you," a very young Ken smiled as he huged his Phanpy in his back yard. "Your the bestest pokemon every!"

"Phan!" Phanpy cheerfully replied.

"Hey let's battle kid," a small boy told Ken, it was Ken's neighbor Jufusha. "I'll kill your Phanpy!"

"Ok," Ken jumped over his fence and he brought Phanpy, "I choose Phanpy!" Phanpy chanted and jumped into the battle.

"GO PINSIR!" Jufusha sent out his bettle pokemon from an ultraball and statred to laugh, "GUILOTINE!"

"Growl!" Ken commanded.

"Phan," Phanpy growled but Pinsir snatched the elephant up in it's pinsirs and cluthed on to it, knocking it out.

"Return," Jufusha walked away laughing.

"Sorry pokemon," an angry Ken kicked his Phanpy back about two feet.

"Phan!" Phanpy got angry.

"What are you gonna do about it growl?" Ken sarcastically asked.

"Phan!" Phanpy started to glow, growing bigger and tusks it merged from the light as Donphan, "Don!"

"Nice little pokemon..." Ken slowly said.

"Don!" Donphan ran into Ken, knocking him back about ten feet.

"Help!" Ken cried and started to run away.

"Don!" Donphan ran the opposite direction.

~*~End Flashback~*~

"And I've never that Donphan agian..." Ken whipered.

"Your a whimp," Kym replied and slaped Ken upside the head, "Now let's get going!" she got up and started to walk off.

Back at Jed's kitchen everyone was sitting at the table and talking and drinking fresh crystal clear water and delicious milk.

"Jed," Dustin gulped down some water, "What are all those Phanpys out there for?"

"I raise 'em," Jed replied, "Actually I use Donphans, so I allways raise Phanpy so they'll evolve, Donphan is the perfect pokemon for labor."

"So how long until those Phanpys evolve?" Jen asked curious because most of the Phanpys looked strong.

"Soon," Jed said, "If my math ain't off."

"Sweet!" Dustin jumped to his feet, "Can I go see them?"

"Sure," Jed answered.

Dustin walked to the fenced area and saw four Phanpys three of them was poking the other one with their noses.

"Hey stop it!" Dustin said and he jumped in the area, "Leave it alone!" Dustin grabed the one that was getting picked on and he held it.

"What happened?" Jed asked as he, Shane and Jen walked out of to the fenced area. "Is everything ok?"

"Those Phanpy were picking on this one," Dustin replied.

"They have been for some time," Jed informed Dustin, "I ain't figured out why though..."

A net fell into the fenced area and swiped up three screaming Phanpys, the net was dragged into the air.

"Wha?" Jed asked and watched his Phanpys being took away, "Stop! Who are you?!"

"Team Alpha!" Kym laughed as Ken sighed in fear. "And we're taking these Phanpys!"

"Not them agian," Shane sighed.

"Hand back those Phanpys!" Jen shouted.

"Nah," Kym laughed, "Ghastly blast those punks away with Night Shade!"

"Noctowl Foresight!" Shane threw his pokeball into the air.

Ghastly blinked it's eyes causing a purple wave to thrust at Noctowl. Noctowl chirped and it's eyes flashed red, stunning Ghastly.

"Not agian," Kym sighed.

"I knew it would happen..." Ken finished, "Might as well blast off..."

"Free those Phanpys Noctowl!" Shane commanded.

Noctowl flew up from Ghastly and quickly cut the net with it's beak, releasing Phanpy. Noctowl then flew up near the air baloon and quickly thrusted through it, causing a hole in it.

"Mareep finish this with Thunder Shock!" Jen threw her pokeball and released her sheep pokemon.

Mareep ba'd and shot out a voltage of eletricity from it's wool, shocking Team Alpha's baloon.

"This is it..." Kym screamed as she and Ken were blasted into the air and out of sight. The Phanpy started to fall.

"I got 'em!" Jed ran up and caught the three Phanpys in his arms, he gently placed them on the ground.

"Phan!" all three said, then they started to glow, the formed into Donphan. "Don!" all three Donphans truimphly grunted.

"They evolved!" Jed smiled, "I can't believe it!"

"But what about this one?" Dustin asked as he held the Phanpy in his arms, the Phanpy gleefully grunted.

"You said your gonna be a Pokemon Master," Jed smiled, "Take it and train it, plus it likes you."

"You sure?" Dustin asked.

"Positive," Jed replied with a smile.

"Thanks!" Dustin said, "Here that Phanpy, your my new pokemon!"

"Phan!" Phanpy grunted and rubed it's nose agiant Dustin's cheeck. This made the group laugh.

"Well we need to get going," Shane told Jed.

"Good luck," Jed said, "The gym ain't too far from here."

"Thanks," Dustin replied as he waved good bye.

The gang had made it past the barn and still on their way to Eckruteak City.

"You have a full team," Jen smiled at Dustin.

"Took you long enough," Shane added.

"Great things..." Dustin thought of something smart, "Take a long time..." Dustin said and laughed at his attempt as they continued their way to Eckruteak.
