Chapter XI- Celedon City
We were on our way to Celedon City, when we both heard a pokemon whinning.
Raichu and Charmeleon jumped down from our arms, they obviuosly knew what was
going on better than we did.
"What is it Charmeleon?" Erika asked and followed him and Raichu under a bush.
"Marcy! Come here quick!" I scampered under the bush as fast as I could an found what
was the problem. Two Arbok had attacked an Eevee that was about to have pups.
"RAICHUUU!!!" Raichu yelled and zapped the Arboks.
"CHAR...MELEONNNN!!!" then Charmeleon fried them to a crisp.
"Pokeball go!" Me and Erika both shouted and threw pokeballs at the Arboks. I captured
one, and so did Erika. They were rather suddenly transfered.
"Raichu? Is she o.k.?" I asked and reached a hand out to the Eevee. It licked my hand and
had her pups with us guarding her.
"Oh! They're so cute!" We both said and picked up one each. She had five pups in all.
"Evv....Evee..Eve...Eevee." *As thanks for saving me, you can both have one.* She said
quietly.
"Really!" Me and Erika both asked and watched them climb on to Raichus' head, and play
on Charmeleons tail.
"Eve...Eeveee. Evv....Evee..Eve...Eevee" *Yes please. Not many people would have
stopped to save me but you did.*
"Thank you very much!" We both said and called them into pokeballs. Erika's was fairly
tiny and had a little puff of fur on her head, and mine was a slightly darker color than all
the others.
"Evee! Euueee!Evv....Evee..Eve...Eevee!" *You're welcome, I'm sure they will be safe
with you!*
They were also transfered to Blaine and we continued, after we plucked the other
three of of Raichu and Charmeleon. We made it finally past route #7 and arrived in busy
Celedon City. With houses and buildings and no pokemart, it was the weirdest place I've
ever seen.
"Hey Erika, is there a pokemart here?" I asked. She stopped and pulled out the map.
"There's a place an the Celedon City Departmeny Store. I' guessing that's it." She said
putting the map away, and pointing straight ahead.
"I guess that will have to do, I need more pokeballs because I only have three left." I said
and we both started to skate ahead. We came to the building that was the department store
and we both looked up in amazment.
"WOW!" we both said.
"There must be at least five floors and a roof!" Erika said as we entered. We both went up
to the desk and Erika asked,
"What floor are Pokeballs sold on?" The lady at the desk chearfully asnswered,
"Are you girls new in Celedon?"
"Yes miss." I answered."
"Here, I'll give you the run-down." She took out a list and handed it to Erika. "First floor;
This service desk. Second Floor; everything you find in a Pokemart. Pokeballs, Great
Balls, Super Potions, Revive, Super Repel, Antidote, etc. Third Floor; Game and trading
Center. You trade your pokemon, and you're even allowed to have battles. Fourth Floor;
Evolution essentials. Thunder Stones, Fire Stones, Leaf Stones, and even Moon Stones.
Fifth floor; Protiens, iron, carbos, and calcium, the essential vitamins. The roof has a
vending machine with Water, Soda, and Lemonade. Pokemon love it as much as people!"
"Thanks!" I said and me and Erika both sat down on the bench to take off our roller
blades, and put on our shoes. As we were both putting our shoes on ann announcement
came over the loud speaker,
"Attention Shoppers! All Pokeballs and Greatballs are now half off and evolution stones
are 90% off. Hurry while this deal still lasts!"
"That's great!" I yelled.
"I've got an idea!" Erika said.
"What?"
"I'll buy the Greatballs and you can go get the evolution stones for our Eevees"
"That's great, that way, we won't miss the sale!"
"We'll meet back here in 15 minutes o.k.?" Erika said as she finished packing her stuff
up.
"All right!" I finished tying my shoes, threw on my back pack, and headed for the stairs.
I walked up four flights of stairs and reached the shelves. I looked around in the
isles a bit, but I couldn't find them. Then I went to the counter, and low and behold, there
they were in the diplay case.
"How much are one of each?" I asked.
"One of eachstone would be 840|p|. Would you like to buy them?"
"Yes please." I took my wallet out of my back pack and gave him the money. He handed
me the bag with the stones in it and said,
"Thanks, come again!" and I took the elevator back down to the first floor.
"Hey Erika!" I got off the elevator and walked over to the bench where she was sitting.
"So what did you get?" I asked.
"I got 10 Greatballs" she said and counted out five for me.
"How much was it?" I asked taking out my wallet again.
"1500|p|." She said handing me the balls.
"How much were they regular price!?" I gave her the money and sat down next to her.
"Each? 600|p|. For three 1800|p|." Erika said. "But, we really don't have to worry about
money too much." she said as she put her roller blades on.
"Why?" I said pulling the laces of my roller blades.
"The next gym leader, Erika, gives 3168|p| if you win!" She yelled and stood up.
"What!? That's great! Let's hurry!" I said and finished tying my blades.
We both picked up our pokemon and skated off out into the street, looking for the
gym. We skated past the entrance to route #16, and we finally found it. A gym that looked
like a garden.
"Let's go in." Erika said, and skated past the glass doors.
"This place is beautiful!" I said as we skated on a plexiglass floor. Below us, we could see
another garden, that could be reached by elevator only.
"There she is!" Erika said, and we both stopped a few feet from her.
"Young Ladies, I know why you have come. You wish to challange me to a battle for the
Rainbow Badge, am I correct in saying so?" Erika asked as she slowly stood up.
"That's right." I said.
"Who wishes to challange me first?"
"I think it's my turn to go first." I said and stepped over to Erika.
"Very well, state your name."
"I am Marcy Blaze of Cinnabar Island."
"All right Marcy, let the battle begin. We will use two pokemon each. Go Meganium!"
She yelled and threw her pokeball on a grass carpet.
"Meganium? Go Raichu!" I yelled and threw his pokeball out.
"Meganium, Razor Leaf!" She yelled and she raised her huge leaves and let out little
leaves, that had a shrp edge.
"Raichu, Blizzard! " I yelled and he jumped into the air, letting out a burst of freezing
cold air that froze Meganium to the floor, turning the leaves into ice.
"Blizzard???!!" Erika yelled in shock, "Meganuim, synthesis!" She yelled, and it's leaves
began to secreate a goo that healed it and melted the ice.
"Raichu!" I was about to yell an attack, but Erika got one out first.
"Meganium! Body Slam!" She jumped into the air, and landed flat ontop of Raichu.
"RAICHU!!!!" I yelled and as soon as Meganium got of of him, threw him a potion.
"Now Raichu, Quick attack, Ice beam!" I said after he had drank it.
"Meganium use Sythesis to heal your recoil!!"
"Quick Raichu!" Raichu dissapeared, and reapeared next to Meganium, then permantly
froze it. "Great Raichu!!!" I picked him up as he ran to me and Grabbed Pidgeottos'
Pokeball.
"Meganium, Return. Go Gloom!" She yelled, and I threw out Pidgeotto's pokeball.
"Pidgeotto!" *Ready!*
"Go Gloom!" She threw out it' pokeball and a pokemon that had petals on it's head, and
released a stench when it was frightened.
"Pidgeotto! Sand attack!" I yelled, and Pidgeotto flapped its wings hard to throw dirt from
the dirt around us into Glooms eyes.
"Gloom! Try your Stun Spore!"
"Pidgeotto Whirlwind it away!" He flapped hi wings and easily blew it away back at
Gloom, who was no stunned. "Pidgeotto! Double Edged Quick Attack!" I yelled, and he
began to glow white, then he down into Gloom, knocking it out.
"PIDG...EOTOOO!" *Finally!* Pidgeotto sudenly began to glow brown, and me and
Erika both watched as he created a bright white light, then we looked away. When we
looked back, Pidgeotto, had evolved into Pidgeot!
"Pidgeot!" I yelled and skated over to hug it. I was as tall as me, maybe a little more. It
wrapped it's huge arms around me until Erika interupted.
"Splended Job Marcy. Here is your badge." She handed it to me and I hopped onto
Pidgeot, "We did it!"
"Great Job Marcy!" Erika yelled and gave me a hug. "Now it's my turn."
[To lessen the confusion, Erika, my best pal, has C after her name for Cinnabar.]
"I am Erika of Cinnabar Island and I have come to chalange you, Erika of Celedon." Erika
C said.
"Very Well. If you find it nessesary. Victreebel go!" Erika yelled.
"Go Charmeleon!" Erika C yelled and Charmeleon jumped out infront of her.
"Victreebel! Constrict!" Erika yelled, and Vicrebell grabbed on to Charmeleon, but
missed his arms.
"Good! Charmeleon, Slash!" Charmeleon slashed at Victreebels vines, and cut them up.
"Victreebel!"
"Charmeleon! Fire Blast!" He opened his mouth and sent a blue flamed Fire Blast at
Victreebel that hit him straight on and knocked him out cold.
"Victeebel return!" Erika yelled.
"Charmeleon, come back! That was a great job!"
"CHARMELEON!!!" All of a sudden, he began to glow red again, and he began to
evolve.
"Erika he's evolving!!!" I yelled out, then looked away. When we looked back, there
stood a magnifcent Charizard. His wings the cream color like on her roller blades, his
eyes a gemstone green, and his flame as long as Erikas arm.
"He's beautiful!!!!!" Erika C yelled and hugged his huge body. He grabbed the back of her
shirt with his teeth, and plopped her on to his back.
"Charizard!" Erika C yelled.
"Young lady if you are finished, I kindly ask that we continue."
"Of course." Erika jumped off Charizard, and threw out the pokeball she had Shellder in.
"Go Gloom! Poison powder!" Erika yelled, but Erika C already had it made.
"Shellder! Aurora Beam!" Erika C yelled, and Shellder blasted Gloom with one shot.
"Gloom return. Congradulations young lady! Here is your badge." Erika C comes over
and takes it out of her hand, and runs over to hug Charizard. "Thanks Charizard!"
"By the way, where did you get that Meganium from?" I asked Erika(Leader).
"Oh, it's my friends, she wanted me to raise it a while, it'll be going home soon."
We were on our way to Celedon City, when we both heard a pokemon whinning.
Raichu and Charmeleon jumped down from our arms, they obviuosly knew what was
