The Young Master's Quest Ch. 10: Time to Check in!
A few months later…
Ash, Misty, Brock, and Izzy had traveled around Johto, battling gym leaders, other trainers, and Team Rocket. After a terrific battle, Ash has defeated Clair for the final badge. We now join our heroes at the Blackthorn City pokémon center.
"I finally have all eight badges!" Ash exclaimed.
"Congratulations." The rest of the group said.
"Now I can enter the Johto League."
"Just one thing. Where is the Johto League going to take place?" Misty asked.
"And when is it going to start?" Brock added & all eyes turned to Izzy.
"The Johto League competition will take place in three months in Silver Town, at the foot of Mt. Silver." Izzy answered.
"What'll we do til then?" Ash cried, which made him sound a bit like Stimpy.
"Why train, of course!" Izzy replied, sounding a lot like a commercial. "We can go to my home in Platinum City & prepare for the league."
"Great idea! Let's go!" Misty said. After Ash's pokémon were healed, the gang made their way through the woods to Platinum City.
A week or so later…
Ash & co. made their way through the forest & wound up in Turquoise City. There, they saw birthday cakes in windows, balloons all over the place, and pictures of gifts above store windows.
"Looks like the royal celebration has already begun." Izzy said.
"Yeah. Prince Israel must be returning to Platinum City." Ash said.
"Hey! Wait a minute! You mean to tell me that the royal celebration is—" Misty started.
"Prince Israel's birthday." Izzy replied. Everybody else fell over.
"If it's his birthday, why are there all the decorations?" Brock asked.
"It's simple." Izzy started another of his explanations. "The royal family of Johto is so well respected, that there is a holiday for every family member's birthday. One for the king, one for the queen, and one for each of the two princes. When it's one of the royal birthdays, it's like Christmas minus the snow. Everybody across the land celebrate & exchange gifts. In Platinum City, however, there is a public party in which everyone is invited to come to the castle. And at night, there's fireworks."
"Wow! Cool!" Ash said.
"Yeah. It's a shame we're here in Turquoise City." Misty said.
"Oh well, let's go find a hotel." Izzy said. They made their way through the streets to the first hotel they saw which was called 'The Turquoise Plaza.'
A doorman held the front door open for the gang & they walked in. As they walked toward the front desk, they noticed the hall they were in. It was beautiful. The hall was well lit. There were lots of chairs. To their left, the group can see the phones & lots of people talking on them. On their right, there was a mini pokémon center. Nurse Joy was there. Obviously, Brock went nuts at the sight of her. Misty had to drag him by the ear. The trade machines were on the left of the center & the PCs were on the right.
When they reached the front desk, the group noticed that there was a restaurant to their left & the stairway to the rooms were to the right.
"Welcome to the Turquoise Plaza. How may I help you?" The clerk asked.
"I would like four rooms please." Izzy said.
"Oh, I'm sorry. We only have two rooms left because of the royal celebration." The clerk replied.
"Very well. I'll take the two remaining rooms then."
"How will you pay, cash or charge?" The clerk asked.
"Cash, of course." Izzy replied. The clerk started typing on a computer.
"That'll be $200." The clerk said.
"Ok." Izzy said & he took out not one, but two crisp $100 bills. The other members of the group looked in awe.
"Here you go." Izzy said as he handed the clerk the money like they were $1 bills.
"Thank you. The bell hop will show you to your rooms." The clerk said & he rang a bell. After a few seconds, the bell hop appeared.
"Yes?" He asked.
"You sure took your sweet time. Take our guests to these rooms." The clerk said as he handed the bell hop the keys.
"Yes sir. Right away." The bell hop said. "Follow me please." The group then followed the bell hop to their rooms.
"I can't believe you have that much money." Misty said.
"Uhhh… thanks." Izzy blushed.
"I wonder what rooms we got, anyway." Brock said.
"According to the keys, your rooms are the royal suites." The bell hop said.
"The royal suites!?" Everyone exclaimed.
"Why, yes. Is that so much of a shock?" The bell hop asked.
"Oh no. It just took us by surprise. That's all." Ash replied. The group was silent until the bell hop led them to their rooms on the top floor of the hotel.
"Here we are." The bell hop said. "Here are your room keys. Room two hundred fifty is in front of us & room two hundred fifty-one is to the left." He gave Izzy the keys & stuck his hand out, silently asking for a tip.
"Here. A little something for you trouble." Izzy said as he handed the bell hop a $10 bill from his wallet.
"Thank you sir. Enjoy your stay." the bell hop said & he left.
"You must be real rich to afford the royal suites." Brock said.
"Uhh… it's nothing, really! My parents just have high paying jobs!" Izzy quickly lied.
"Hey. Don't get so worked up. Come on. Let's get to our rooms." Ash said.
"Both of the rooms have two beds, so we'll have to decide who goes where." Brock said.
"Well, I'll stay with Izzy in room two hundred fifty." Misty said. Izzy's face immediately turned bright red. Ash's face was red too—from jealously.
"Ok. Ash & I will go to room two hundred fifty-one." Brock said. Izzy then handed him the keys to room two hundred fifty-one. He then opened the door to room two hundred fifty and went in, followed by Misty.
"Wow! This room is gorgeous!" Misty said.
The royal suite did indeed have two beds. Both of them had two pillows & was covered with a red & gold blanket. Above the beds, there was a chandelier. To Izzy & Misty's right was a small kitchen. In front of the beds was a 20 inch TV, with cable, of course. Finally, across from the kids was a balcony that overlooked Turquoise City.
"From the balcony, we can see Platinum City." Izzy said.
"Cool. Let's see." Misty said & they walked to the balcony.
"See? There it is." Izzy said as he pointed at the huge city.
"Looks like we'll have to go through a forest to reach it." Misty replied.
"Don't worry. We'll only be in there for a day or two." Izzy said. "Let's go & get the others so we could enjoy the festivities."
"Will we be able to see the fireworks from here?" Misty asked.
"Sure we will." Izzy replied & they left their backpacks in the room.
Misty knocked on room two hundred fifty-one's door. After a minute or so, Ash answered the door.
"What is it?" He asked.
"We were going to go down & enjoy the celebration." Misty said. "You guys coming?"
"Yeah. Hang on a sec." Ash replied & he closed the door. After a minute, he, Brock, and Pikachu came out.
"It's about time! Let's go." Misty said and the gang went into the elevator.
"Where should we go?" Ash asked when they got in the elevator.
"Let's go to the park." Izzy insisted. "There's bound to be something going on there."
"Sounds good to me." Brock said. They rode the elevator down to the first floor & left the hotel.
