Again I don't own any companies or businesses, including Pokemon and
Nintendo. That'd be cool if I did though.
Chapter Six: To Pineapple City!
When John awoke, Aegeisa was resting beside him. The sun was just above the horizon. John stood up, stretched, and yawned.
John thought, "Did all that really just happen? Or am I going insane? I guess I better just go with the flow for a while. Even if nothing that happened last night was real."
He tiredly pulled out Aegeisa's pokeball and yawned, "Return, Aegeisa." A red beam shot out from the pokeball and dissolved Aegeisa in a red light, then pulled the pokemon into the ball.
"I see that you're up, John."
John jumped and turned around. It was Wanda, who was smiling.
"So, um, why did you call Mewthree Aegeisa?" Wanda queried.
"Well, erm, you see, I thought it would be a cooler name than Mewthree," John replied.
"Great then. You should eat some breakfast before we head off to Pineapple City."
John walked over to where a blanket and food were laid out. He sat down. Bill and Ivan were already sitting.
"Good morning John," they said in almost unison.
"Woah, did I just say that at the same time you did?" Bill asked Ivan.
"Yup. Weird, isn't it."
John grabbed a nearby bagel, spread some cream cheese on it, and began to gobble it.
Wanda said, "Hey guys, I checked a map on my pokegear. Pineapple City is only a mile or so away."
John exclaimed with a mouth full of food, "Great!" John swallowed the rest of the bagel that was in his mouth.
Ivan said, "Well, we should get packed up."
Wanda replied, "Wait until I put on my various cosmetics!"
John ran back to the tent and grabbed his bag. He pulled some clothes out of the bag, zipped all of the tent windows and doors, and quickly changed. He tossed his dirty clothes into the bag and raced out of the tent.
Wanda declared, "Okay, I'm ready to go!"
The four packed up the tent and sleeping bags and headed off into the woods. Shortly into the woods, the four found a pool of water. A Wooper emerged from the depths and stepped onto shore, and a Hoppip strolled to the pool to have a drink. The four kids darted behind some trees that happened to be close together.
John whispered, "I want to get Hoppip, and Wanda should get Wooper because neither of us have caught any pokemon."
Bill whispered back, "But I want Wooper. I'll beat you to it."
Wanda whispered, "One, two, three!"
John, Wanda, and Bill leaped out and tossed out pokeballs. Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, and Aegeisa appeared.
"Aegeisa, Psyshock!" A bolt of purple electricity zapped Hoppip, and because John caught Hoppip by surprise, he knocked the pokemon out. John quickly threw a pokeball and captured Hoppip.
"Bulbasaur, Vinewhip!" Some vines shot out from Bulbasaur toward Wooper. A blast of fire suddenly smashed into Bulbasaur and knocked it back. Cyndaquil stepped forward.
"Okay Cyndaquil, tackle that Wooper!" Cyndaquil rammed into Wooper and knocked Wooper down. Wooper lifted its head dizzily, then passed out.
Wanda tossed a pokeball at Wooper, and a white light engulfed the knocked out pokemon. Wanda walked up to the ball and picked it up.
"Yes, my first pokemon!" Wanda and John cried out.
Wanda and John returned Aegeisa and Cyndaquil to their pokeballs.
Bill returned Bulbasaur to his pokeball and sighed, "Well, it was worth a try."
Ivan said, "Let's move on, shall we?"
The group traveled for a while, about fifteen minutes. They reached the edge of the woods and saw a sign.
The sign read Pineapple City ahead.
"Great!" Wanda exclaimed. "Only a little while until Pineapple City!" The four trekked a bit more and came upon the city.
Ivan pulled out his pokegear, looked at it, and said, "Okay, according to this map, there should be a Pokemon Center just ahead." John looked ahead and saw a large dome-shaped building.
"Hey guys, look, there's a poke-center up ahead," John stated.
Wanda, Bill, John and Ivan walked up and into the center. There were several trainers sitting on benches on the sides of the center. The foursome walked up to a counter, which had a smiling Nurse Joy (the Nurse Joys were now in every pokemon center on earth) behind it.
John asked, "Hello. Would you mind healing our pokemon?"
Joy replied, "Why certainly. You just wait here for a bit and they will be healed in no time." The four pulled out their pokeballs and gave them to Nurse Joy, who took them through a door. The four kids sat down and absentmindedly chatted to the other trainers about the pokemon they had caught. Soon the smiling Nurse Joy emerged from the door holding the kids' pokeballs. The four kids took the pokeballs, thanked Nurse Joy, and walked out of the center.
Ivan pulled out his pokegear. "According to this, the gym is northeast from here. This way."
Bill, Wanda and John followed Ivan to a large building that had a sign in front of it. The sign showed that this building was the Pineapple City Gym.
"This is it! I heard that this gym is fire type," said Bill.
"Well, let's go in then."
The four trainers walked into the gym. The inside of the gym was huge, with several (about 6 or 8) pokemon arenas, seperated by walls. The arenas had several large holes in them on the floor. John wondered what the holes did.
A gym assistant jogged up to them. "Hello, can I help you?"
John replied, "Yes. We're pokemon trainers, here to try to get a gym badge."
"Well, welcome to the Pineapple City gym! Today we don't have many trainers, so you guys can all battle the gym leaders at once."
"Wait, there's more than one gym leader in this gym?"
"Don't you know? All of these gym leaders in this gym are brothers and sisters, so they run the gym together."
"Great then! We can all fight at the same time!" Wanda exclaimed.
The gym assistant led each of them to a separate arena. Walls enclosed the arenas and there was a door leading to the front of the gym. There was also a referee in the middle of the arena. John stepped into one of the arenas and faced the gym leader (who was a girl) in the arena.
"Are you ready to get this battle underway?" shouted the gym leader from the other side of the arena.
"I sure am," John yelled.
The referee shouted, "This will be a two-on-two battle with no time limit! Let the battle begin!"
The gym leader shouted, "Go, Slugma and Growlithe!"
John yelled out, "Mewthree and Hoppip!"
Aegeisa, Hoppip, Growlithe and Slugma appeared in bright flashes of light.
The gym leader yelled, "What the heck is that?"
John replied, "A newly discovered pokemon!"
"Whatever! Growlithe and Slugma, double Ember attack!"
"Mewthree and Hoppip, dodge it!"
Growlithe and Slugma breathed out two small jets of flame at Mewthree and Hoppip. Hoppip leaped into the air and Mewthree took flight.
"Mewthree, dive bomb and Psyshock Growlithe! Hoppip, keep dodging!"
Mewthree dove toward Growlithe and blasted him with psychic energy. Growlithe was knocked down momentarily. Meanwhile, Hoppip was easily dodging Ember attacks from Slugma. It was almost as if Hoppip was dancing out of the way of the flames. Suddenly, the holes in the floor spewed forth flames into the air. Hoppip was knocked off balance by the flames. Slugma slithered toward Hoppip and spat out a stream of fire. Mewthree saw this and flew swiftly toward Hoppip. Mewthree then shot out a ball of psychic energy from its crystal on its head. The ball of energy smashed through the Ember attack and slammed into Slugma. Slugma was knocked down and knocked out. Growlithe bounded toward Hoppip out of nowhere and rammed into Hoppip, who was knocked into the wall. Mewthree flapped its wings rapidly and blew Growlithe into a wall. Growlithe slid down the wall and slumped onto the ground.
"Growlithe and Slugma are unable to battle! John wins!"
The gym leader returned her pokemon to their pokeballs.
John said quietly to Hoppip and Aegeisa, "You two did great. You deserve a nice rest." He returned them to their pokeballs.
The gym leader walked across the arena to John. She pulled a small token out of her pocket. "Here. This is the Kindler badge. You deserve it." The badge looked like a small, shining fire. John took the badge from the gym leader's hand. John then walked out of the arena.
Hi everybody! Sorry for the short chapter 5! Anyway, the contest for what you think John, Bill, Ivan, and Wanda should catch will still continue if you want to send in! Next chapter: Bill, Wanda, and Ivan get their badges (hopefully) and the quad pod will try to move on to the next town! Hooray!
