Chapter 27: Goldenrod Harbor, Save Clefairy!

Silver's excitement continued to build as he wandered the streets of Goldenrod City in search of the gym. Everywhere he looked, he saw skyscrapers that seemed to touch the sky, as far as the eye could see. There were office buildings, department stores, and Silver even saw that there was a radio tower. But he just couldn't seem to find the gym.

"Where is that gym", Silver asked himself, "I need to find that gym so that I can battle the gym leader here for a badge. Silver continued to walk until he found a dome like building with a giant, inflated cow on top. Silver figured it was an inflatable Pokemon.

"Let's see what kind of Pokemon that is", Silver said. He looked to his Pokedex and it told him that it was a Miltank. It told him that Miltank was a cow Pokemon and it knew a very powerful rollout attack.

"I wonder if that's the gym", Silver said to himself, "well, if it is, then get ready gym leader, because Silver is coming, and there is nothing stopping him from earning a badge from you." He walked up to the gym's door and saw the only thing that would stop him, and it was a sign stating that the gym was closed for the day.

"But, the gym can't be closed for the day!", Silver cried, "I need to have my gym battle today!" He shrugged as he walked along. He figured there would be nothing to do now. He was wrong about that. Silver decided to stop inside a restaurant that allowed trainers to release their Pokemon, and give them a good meal.

"Come on out, everybody, time to eat!", Silver told his Pokemon as he released them from their Pokeballs. As soon as they all saw the buffet, including Silver, their eyes lit up. They took dishes filled to the brim with food, and they ate extremely quickly.

"Man, you guys must be hungry!", Silver exclaimed, "I will go and get you some more." As he reached the buffet table, he saw that all the food had been eaten. Silver looked a few feet away and saw that a Snorlax was the one who ate it all.

"I'm sorry guys, but I suppose there is no more food", Silver said. He returned his Pokemon back to their Pokeballs and left the restaurant. He walked on a little while longer, wondering why the gym would be closed when he needed to earn his badge. He kept walking until he reached the Goldenrod Harbor. There were boats lined up along the edge. The water was crystal clear, and the cool breezes smelled fresh.

"A nice boat ride sounds like just the thing we need to pass the time", Silver said to himself. He went to talk to a person at the harbor about boat rentals. Suddenly, a girl with pink hair and pigtails ran up to the same person Silver was talking to.

"Whitney!", the man said, "why do you look so worried, what is the problem."

"My Clefairy is missing, and I have no idea where she is!", Whitney replied. She turned around and looked at Silver.

"Do you have any idea where my Clefairy could be?", Whitney asked Silver.

"I don't think so", Silver said, "I have no idea what a Clefairy is!" Silver checked out his Pokedex and found a picture of Clefairy.

"Don't worry, if I see her, I'll let you know!", Silver said. Whitney thanked him and left. Silver rented a motorboat to take out to sea. The cool breeze of the sea felt nice and cool on Silver's face. Cyndaquil and Skiploom enjoyed themselves as the cool breezes began to hit them as well.

"I'm glad you're having a good time", said Silver. He then thought back to Whitney and how she lost her Clefairy. Silver then rechecked his Pokedex and found that Clefairy was a pretty rare Pokemon, to just get lost like that.

"Cynda", Cyndaquil said to Silver, a worried expression on it's face.

"I'm sure we can find that Clefairy", Silver told his Pokemon, "have no fear!" Silver figured that if there was anyone who would steal Clefairy, it would be Team Rocket. Silver then looked toward the shore, just out of cuiosity, and saw Clefairy! It was walking along the shoreline gingerly. Silver then found it appropriate to bring that Clefairy back to Whitney. Silver started the motorboat up again.

"Here we come, Clefairy", Silver said. He felt that if he gave Whitney her Clefairy back, she would give him a battle that very day. Just at that moment, another motorboat came up, with a person standing up inside of it. The person snatched the Clefairy from off of the dock. Silver watched in astonishment.

"I know who that is!", Silver exclaimed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indeed, it was Mitch and Julie, those no good Team Rocket crooks. They stood up in the boat and performed the motto for Silver.

"We're the masters of all that's wrong", said Mitch.

"Hear us sing our villanous song", said Julie.

"Stealing Pokemon every day and night", said Mitch.

"Going against what is right!", said Julie.

"Mitch", said Mitch.

"Julie", said Julie.

"We're Team Rocket, faster than light", said Mitch.

"Give us your Pokemon or get ready to fight!", said Julie.

"Don't you guys ever give up?", SIlver asked. He was getting very tired of that routine. Julie snared at him.

"Don't you dare give us that", Julie said, "we're master thieves, we will get away with this.

"Oh no you won't, Skiploom, use your extremespeed on the boat", Silver ordered. Skiploom jumped out of the boat, and, like moving on water, chased after Team Rocket's boat.

"Mayday", said Mitch.

"No problem!", Julie said. She sent out her Sandshrew, and what a dumb idea it was. Sandshrew fell into the water and struggled about. Sandshrew couldn't swim.

"Talk about the master of dumb ideas!", Mitch yelled. After that comment, Skiploom crashed into the boat, jetting it forward, but it was no good. Suddenly, Whitney came forward in her own motorboat.

"I saw everything", she said, "and now I'll take it from here!" she pulled out a Pokeball and sent out her Miltank. The same Pokemon that Silver saw on the roof of the gym.

"Miltank, use rollout!", Whitney said. Miltank curled up, and began to roll across the water in sort of a gliding way. Team Rocket looked back.

"That Pokemon looks mean to the extreme!", Mitch said. Julie was hardly listening.

"If it's a race they want, then it's a race they get!", Julie said. She stepped on the gas, but it was no good. Miltank crashed into the boat full force. Silver was astonished. After seeing that power, he wasn't sure he was ready for the Goldenrod Gym. Mitch let go of Clefairy, and it went soaring into Silver's arms. The force of that blast sent Team Rocket soaring. Silver watched as he saw them shrink into the endless sky.

"I've got some training to do", he said to himself. Back on the dock, Whitney treated Silver and herself as well as their Pokemon to some delicious ice cream.

"You deserve it, for all the help you put into rescuing my Clefairy, I can hardly wait for my Gym battle!", Whitney said.

"Me neither", Silver said, knowing that it wouldn't be for a while...
