Chapter 17: The Union Cave, Capture of a Ground Pokemon
After a good nights sleep at the Pokemon Center, Silver was rested enough to continue his journey. He
first let Nurse Joy heal his Pokemon, and as Silver waited, he talked to Nurse Joy.
"So, what's it like being a Pokemon Nures?", he asked.
"Oh, it's ok", Nurse Joy replied, "I bet you're headed to the Union Cave".
"Why, yes I am", Silver said.
"You should be careful", Nurse Joy warned him, "Some dangerous Ground Type Pokemon live in that cave".
"Thanks for the warning", Silver told her. He then waited as she steppen into the back of the center. This
gave Silver valuable thinking time. The Union Cave was the only way to Azalea Town, but it was dangerous.
Silver chuckled to himself.
"I laugh in the face of danger!", he said to himself, "I will get through the Union Cave!". Silver waited a little
longer until Nurse joy stepped out and told Silver that it would be a little while longer for his Pokemon to be
ready, so Silver had to wait just a little longer. Finally, Nurse Joy got Silver's Pokeballs and handed them to
him. He then picked up his Egg and proceeded to the Union Cave. Nurse Joy watched him, thinking of how
brave he was being by traveleing to that dangerous cave.
"I know I can do this", Silver said to himself as he faced the enterance to the Union Cave. It would just be a
ten minute walk through the cave before he emerged out on the other side. Silver took a deep breath as he
stepped into the cave. Silver walked for a while without being attacked.
"This won't be so hard", he thought to himself, "I'll be out of here before I know it". Silver took a few more
steps before a gasp came out of his mouth. Before him lay a sleeping Onix. The rock snake Pokemon
was huge, and if silver were to waken it, he would anger it, and if he were to anger it then Silver would be
toast.
"Must be quiet...", he whispered as he tiptoed past the snoring Onix. He didn't see where he was going,
because he bumped into a wall and woke up a bunch of Zubat. They swarmed all over Silver.
"Ahhhhhhhh!", he screamed. The nearby Onix woke up. Silver thought this was the end. he started to run,
and fast. He kept running, but wasn't watching where he was going, because he stumbled into a hole.
Onix didn't notice this, so it passed over the hole. The Onix was long gone when Silver climbed out of the
hole.
"That was a close one", he said to himself. He walked along the trail inside the cave. The cave was longer
then he had expected, because he was walking around for half an hour, when it should have only taken
ten minutes. Silver immediately concluded that he must be lost.
"I'll never find my way out of this cave!", he screamed. He then put his hand over his mouth, afraid of having
woken up another Onix, or two, or maybe a dozen. But instead a Geodude came out.
"Geo", it said in a friendly manner. Silver was able to conclude that this Geodude was friendly. He walked
up to the Geodude and started to speak to it.
"Geodude, might you know the way out of this cave?", he asked it.
"Geo, Geodude Geo", it said. It then started to jump along the ground. Silver figured that it wanted him to
follow it. It wasn't much longer until Silver would be out of the cave now. But then disaster struck when Silver
ran into the Onix he woke. It roared as it saw Silver.
"I'm in real trouble now!", Silver thought to himself. But the Geodude wouldn't allow that. It began to talk to
the Onix in as calm a manner as possible.
"Geodude, Geo Geo Duuuuude, Geodude Geo Dude Dude Geo!", it explained to the Onix, but Onix still
didn't look happy. It prepared to attack. Silver pulled out a Pokeball.
"Skiploom, go!", he yelled as he threw his Pokeball. Skiploom came out and prepared for battle, but it
couldn't even get in an attack when the Onix tackled it, knocking it out. Silver brought Skiploom back into
it's Pokeball. He then called out Bellsprout, but Bellsprout was also knocked out. Silver decided he didn't
want anymore of his Pokemon knocked out. The Onix was now ready to attack Silver. Silver screamed as
he knew Onix's plan. However, Geodude wouldn't allow this. It began to attack the Onix with all it's might.
Tackle attack after Tackle attack hurt the poor Onix.
"Man, that Geodude's pretty strong", Silver said to himself, "It would be the perfect Pokemon for me!". The
Geodude kept laying Tackle attacks on Onix as fast as it can, and Onix got weaker and weaker each time.
Silver just watched. Finally, Geodude decided to finish it off with a strong Earthquake attack. It pounded
the ground with it's hard fists as strong as it could, and the vibrations were amazing. It knocked Silver off
his feet. The egg nearly flew out of his arms, but he had a tighter grip on it. Nurse Joy was right about the
Ground Pokemon being dangerous and strong. When the vibrations stopped, Silver looked up and could
see that the Onix had fainted and was now laying there with it's eyes closed.
"It can now enjoy a peaceful sleep", Silver exclaimed, "Thank you Geodude!'.
"Geodude!", it said. Silver then summoned up the courage to ask Geodude to join his team. Surprisingly,
Geodude accepted and Silver put it in a Pokeball. Silver knew that from the start, this friendly Geodude
would become best friends with him, and would be willing to lend a hand whenever it could. Silver walked
for a little while longer until he saw a distant light. He rushed toward the light and looked outside. Only a
short walk away was a town, Azalea Town!
"We finally made it", Silver said to himself, "Thank you Geodude, I know that together, we can be
unstoppable at anything we do, and I just can't wait to see you in a gym battle". Silver then stood ther for a
short while before he finally set out again for the nearby Azalea Town. And with a new Pokemon at hand, he
was ready for anything.
