Conquering Houenn
Chapter 5: On the waterfront to Dewford
The sky was clearing. It was just drizzly now. The storm passed on from Rustbro and had passed Lavridage. Lavridage was quiet, the Pokemon Gym, the hot springs, the Pokemart and center were all closed, a few trainers would walk into the pokemon center for shelter. Brown and red houses stood. The town sat on a hill overlooking the desert, if you sat on the Gym roof you could just make out Mauville. The Gym was owned by Flannery who was sitting on a ledge that made it difficult for some to climb up, not for Flannery thought, she could climb the ledges so others had to come from Mt Chimney. In one of her hands she still held the pokeball belonging to her beloved Torkoal. Tears rolled down from her brown eyes.
"Where are you Torkoal?" Flannery cried out loud. Even if Torkoal had found a hiding spot from the storm it was badly injured and could still die. A small brown creature walked towards Flannery. Its was like a target thing expect it had two small hands and feets, it was brown all over expects its ears that were black. It had a long brown and black tail. 'Sen?" It asked. He looked at her hands and saw the pokeball, Flannery kept pushing the button open then closing it. The brown creature which was a called a Sentret. "I don't know how I became an a Gym Leader, I can't even protect my own pokemon" Flannery said to the Sentret, Sentret knew this Gym Leader as he had a nest nearby and was able to not get capture, sometimes it watched her fight.
"Torkoal where are you?" Flannery cried "Ret!" Sentret said now fully knowing what was wrong. Sentret ran up the ledges and onto a high tree and screamed bloody murder to all pokemon of Houenn. "Sentret!, SSEEENNTTRREETT" The pokemon bellowed telling the others to keep watch for the Torkoal. "Wherever you are.. I be right here waiting for you" Flannery sang softly to herself blocking out the Sentret cry. "Wherever you are... No matter how far I will be right here waiting.. for you" Flannery couldn't hold it any longer she layed down on the ground unaware of the pokemon around the area including the desert dewellers were nearby.
Kate, Jade and Scott had just made it out of the Petalburg woods and made their way to a small building where an old man named Mr Britney and a Wingull named Peeko lived, that what Roxanne told them anyway. "SSSEEENNTTRREETT" A pokemon cry was heard. "God won't that creature ever stop" Kate complained, They kept hearing the noise ever since they entered Petalburg woods. "Dunno its probably a pokemon somewhere pain" Scott said who made Jade and Kate walk on ethier side of Scott and not near each other.
"I wish we could help it, but it seems like it too far away" Jade replied feeling sorry for whatever it was. "Hello? Anybody home?" Scott called out as he knocked on Mr Britney door. Nobody answered. "Try again" Jade said Scott knocked on the door three times. Still nobody answered the door. "Weird I thought Roxanne said he was here twenty four, seven" Jade said.
'Where is Kate?" Scott asked realising the other blonde wasn't among them. The blonde then walked in sight.
"Scott, the dock is empty" Kate said. Jade felt a little hurt as Kate made it look like Scott and herself were the only ones their. "Great he probably taking some other trainers their" Jade said.
"Well the hell I am waiting for the old bag" Kate replied back she walked back to the dock. Jade and Scott followed her "Uh Kate how are we going to get across? We don't have any water pokemon, remember" Scott reminded her.
"Scott, I have two other pokemon remember, and they are water types" Kate said a little snappy at Scott, she took out her second pokeball and let her Unknown water pokemon out. "Dew" The pokemon called out as it came out. Jade took out her pokedex, this pokemon was white all over and like a seal but had a tail like a mermaid and a horn on its head.
Dewgong, the Seal pokemon This pokemon is normally found in the coldest areas of the world. Dewgong can break Ice with its horn and some Dewgong are used for transport which can believe it or not carry two passengers but only older ones can do it, Dewgong is the evolve form of Seel.
"Scott and I can ride Dewgong we gonna have to leave Jade behind" Kate said. 'What!, you can't leave me by myself" Jade stammered.
"Kate nobody is going anyway without all three of us got that?" Scott warned 'Fine, use my third pokemon" Kate sighed letting the third one out. The pokeball opened revealing a stingray. It had a long tail with a pointy arrow at the end. It was navy blue on the top and creme coloured on the bottom. "Man" Its said. Jade pokedex beeped the data in
Mantine, The stingray pokemon This Pokemon end tail contains some poison to protect itself, thought that the poison won't kill a human, it can make you very sick. Mantine is useful in two ways of transport, ethier by flying or surfing.
"Wow, you got pokemon I haven't seen before, but I thought you were a starter?" Jade asked. "Hey dimwit, I never said I was a beginner" Kate laughed "Or how many badges I have for that matter" she remarked. "Lets go" Scott said desperate to not let the girls tear each other apart. Jade got on Mantine while the other two went on Dewgong. They were off towards Dewford for the next badge and maybe the next pokemon. Jade felt anger as she remembered the kid who captured the Wurmple and the shiny Zubat. And not to mention the Golduck and Vibrava. Mantine seemly just glided on the water while Dewgong swam. "How far from Dewford?" Jade called out. No answer Kate had Scott wrapped around her finger. "You just wait Kate, you won't get to him" Jade snarled. "Tine?" the water/flying pokemon asked. "SSENNNTTRRREEETT" The desperate cry of the pokemon could still be heard but just by a little bit. "Mantine, Man" Mantine started talking to Dewgong, "Gong, gong, gong, dew" Dewgong replied back. "Hey what that area over there?" Jade asked pointing to a Long Island with green trees.
"One its not an island, just a long patch with trees, two, I don't care" Kate answered back harshly. Jade was taken back she saw that Scott whispered something to Kate. Jade could just see Dewford, "Hey guys we are nearly their" Jade called out. Scott nodded his head Jade was pretty sure he was referring to her. "Sharp" Jade heard "What was that?" Jade called out "Jade, big mouth shut the hell up" Kate yelled back she was tired of Jade irrupting them every minute. "Do!" Scott had heard that one "Kate I think Jade is trying to tell us.." Before he could go on Dewgong stopped abruptly and Mantine quickly flew into high into the sky. "Why are you stopping Dewgong?" Kate asked her pokemon.
'That why" Scott pointing to one fin but since they couldn't see what the two pokemon and Jade could see they thought their was one. "Well Dewgong Aurora beam it out of the way" Kate said then she realised she spoke too soon, other fins were showing, soon evil faces could be seen from the water. 'What is that?" Kate asked scared. Jade took out her pokedex since the other two were probably wet.
Sharpdeo, The Teeth pokemon This Pokemon is to be approached with extreme caution, be careful when touching the skin as it can hurt you. Sharpedeo teeth are so sharp that they can tear through a Magikarp. Sharpdeo is the evolve form of Carvanha
"Kate don't move" Scott warned her. Kate was scared stiff she didn't even have a remark. Then one of the Sharpedeo went straight towards them. "Oh crap" Kate managed to say "Man!" Mantine said angrily it shot a beam of ice towards the shark "Sharp!" Sharpedeo cried out. The leader turned and stared into Mantine with its cold red beady eyes. Mantine came eye to eye with it floating from the air.
"Hey careful Mantine Human on board" Jade said frightened Mantine took no notice of the human. "Man, Man, ne, Mantine!" The stingray pokemon said to the leader. 'Sharp" Sharpedeo said angrily. Mantine felt annoyed, especially with the human "Mantine!" Mantine yelled throwing Jade overboard "Jade!" Scott screamed he dived underwater to get to Jade, another Sharpedeo swam right towards Jade, hungry for human flesh. "Scott!" Kate screamed. Jade bobbed her head up to see the shark coming to her, Then all Hell broke lose, The Sharpedeo and Mantine were in a battle. The others rushed at full speed at whatever they can have. Dewgong pushed Kate aside and attacked some of them, while Jade tried swimming for her life. All of the sharks Ignored Scott for some strange reason. Scott felt helpless and worthless, the two girls who were arguing over him just hours ago were about to be shredded to bits. He watched hopeless at the Sharpedeo that had caught up with Jade, and two others that were gaining up on Kate. Scott closed his eyes but just before he did he saw Mantine and Dewgong fall in defeat.
A blue block that looked like it was made out of ice watched them, it had about six eyes. All glowing as it watched the scene. The boy was ignored as the Jade girl was a threat to all and this pokemon wasn't going to let her get pass. The other one was the daughter of a powerful team, who was to sent to lead the Jade girl so she actived the legendaries powers so he can capture them. Well by eliminating both of the girls will end it all. And maybe him and two others can take over the world. But it plan was destroyed when the waves turned. All the Sharks were sucked into a whirlpool. The pokemon hoped that the two girls will be sucked in but it was destroyed when Mantine, Dewgong, Jade, Kate and Scott were all lifted up on some blue creature. "No" The pokemon exclaimed, beneath the bodies he could just see the red lines and red eyes then a huge beam shot at the pokemon.
Sharpedoes had them cornered, Mantine and Dewgong fainted, the leader was close to Jade and had it big mouth open revealing the teeth. It was about to take one big chuck of Jade. "Jade, Jade can you hear me, Jade!" A voice kept repeating her name over and over. The leader attacked "No Scott!" Jade cried she felt the teeth touch her.
"JADE WAKE UP DAM IT!" a voice shouted slapping her back to reality. Jade slowly opened her eyes Scott and Kate were looking at her with fear. Well Kate had more annoyance then fear. She sat up Dewgong and Mantine layed their resting, watching Jade. But the last two figures puzzled her. "Mr Britney?" Jade asked their was also a boat near by and five pokeballs were also near by, two were opened. Mr Britney had a brown hat on, with glasses and brown eyes, white mustache. He also wore a white checked shirt with blue jeans. A white seagull like creature sat on his shoulder, he had blue lines on his wings and a yellow beak with black around it. Peeko the Wingull Jade assumed. 'What happened?" Jade asked Scott.
"I don't know, we were been attacked then a whirlpool become clear and then everything went black" Scott said putting one hand on her cheek. Kate made a gagging sound. "How did you get here?" Jade asked Mr Britney,
"Well I was coming back from delivering some passengers from Slateport and I was shipwrecked, the Sharpedoes had nothing to do with my boat thought" Mr Britney told her. Jade nodded her head. "So can we go now?" Kate said Impatiently. "You are so selfish you know that" Jade snapped at her.
"If I am so selfish then why did I let you ride on Mantine?" Kate snarled back
"One, Miss Boy-getter Scott made you give me Mantine, Two, Your Mantine was the reason why I was almost eaten" Jade growled and taking Mantine a dirty look.
"Shut up girl, My Mantine was trying to save us" Kate said she clenched her fists. "Really, I think Mantine just wanted to battle the Shark pokemon!" Jade said getting more angrily. Jade stood up face to face with Kate. "Girls" Scott warned
"You know what we were the ones who let you hang with us even thought you aren't a new trainer" Jade shouted.
"Excuse me if I come with you, you would of never able to beat Roxanne Geodude AND Nosepass and would of wouldn't able to get across to Dewford because you two can't catch a one pokemon!" Kate snapped right back. "Girls!" Scott yelled Kate and Jade looked at Scott, for the days that they were travelling with him he hadn't directly shouted at them. "We need to calm down okay it's the only way off this island" Scott said more calmer.
"Mr Britney is your boat working now?" Scott asked the old man "Uh, yes it is it the generator wasn't working but its now" Mr Britney said
"Please start it so we can go" Scott ordered the man with annoyance in his voice. "Okay" Mr Britney replied "Gull" The bird pokemon also said. "Recall your pokemon Kate" Scott said to her then he walked towards the boat. "Mantine, Dewgong return" Kate replied two red beams shot out and hit the water pokemon absorbing them into the ball. Jade started walking but Kate grabbed her. "If you ruin any chance I have with Scott I am going to break your neck got it" Kate snarled in her face before striding to the boat. "I know you are up to something Kate but what?" Jade said to herself. "Jade come on" Scott called out to her. "Coming!" Jade called back.
"We are almost their" Mr Britney called out to the trio, the dock could just been seen. He put the boat into the dock and they got out. Scott fished his pocket and pulled some ten dollars note out.
"Here for you" Scott said handing it to Mr Britney. "
"Oh No I do this for free, you keep your money" Mr Britney said.
"Okay as along as you are sure" Scott replied putting the money back, Mr Britney nodded his head, "Yes I am, now you go and do whatever you wanted to do and when you are ready I will take you to Slateport," Mr Britney said.
"Thanks again" Scott answered back shaking hands with the man. "So what should we do first?" Jade asked Scott. "well the pokemon center for starters" Scott replied. Jade had finally took in the scenery, It was like Petalburg but the houses weren't next to each other, the ground was sand, expect some parts which was the road. The Dewford Gym stood their, It had bricks on the outside and the roof resembles as a foot. Jade noticed a Dark blue creature with a horn on its head sucking something out of a tree. 'What that?" Jade asked Scott and Kate they just shrugged. 'Great none of our pokedex would work would they" Jade mumbled to herself, The pokemon jumped of the tree and turned around, it was a bug pokemon and looked like a Stag beetle. It lifted a boulder with its horn and tossed it. 'Wow that pokemon is so cool" Jade said. "Please!" Kate said in a snobby way but Jade ignored her "Torchic!" I choose you!" Jade cried out but Torchic pokeball wasn't their.
"Where is my Torchic?" Jade asked. "Did you pick it up?" Scott asked. Jade didn't recalled it, the only pokemon that was recalled were Dewgong and Mantine. Kate starting laughing "Did you pick your Torchic up, Or yours Kate!" Jade snapped at the girl. "What?" Kate replied her smile disappearing, "Oh my god my Sceptile!' Kate cried out "They must still be on the island" Scott said. They ran to Mr Britney "Mr Britney you gotta take us to the island again we left our pokemon their" Jade cried, Mr Britney wasted no time, they got on and headed towards it. As they were leaving Jade saw a trainer just getting off a Blastoise and a pokeball which rang a bell in her head but she couldn't figure out why, the ball had sand stuck to it.
Two pokeballs sat on the hot sandy beach. The one on the right started shaking soon came out Kate Sceptile and the followed by Torchic. 'Scep?" Sceptile asked Torchic who belonged to Scott. But Jade Torchic was no where to be found. "Tor?, Torchic" Torchic replied back. A boat was closing in on the island but the confused pokemon didn't pay attention
'Sceptile" The green pokemon was asking if Torchic knew where they were but the red chick was just as confused. "Torchic, Sceptile" two familiar voices rang out, Scott and Kate ran to their pokemon. "Scep, Tor" The two cried happily, they embraced in a hug. "Torchic?" Jade asked not seeing her pokemon or pokeball anyway. "Jade" Scott said. "Please no, dam it I just started training" Jade said tears fell.
"Jade we will find her, but it might be a possible she was picked up by another trainer but we could get to Dewford and catch up" Scott reassured her. "No it isn't No" Jade cried 'I promise you Jade I will find her" Scott replied he tried to hug her but Jade pulled away. "Its useless why don't you think I have a pokemon huh?, Because I am absolutely useless" Jade shouted "That not true" Scott protested Jade looked at Scott.
"Just go away, Kate will help you, I am just a nothing" Jade said before running away.
"Jade!, Wait!" Scott yelled but Jade had vanished into the bushes. Kate felt a little pain in her heart as she saw the pain and hurt on Jade face and she didn't bother with a comment. 'Let her go Scott she will come around" Kate replied putting her hand on his shoulder. "Tor, Scep, Wing" The three pokemon said sadly. "Okay everyone lets search for her" Scott told them. The three pokemon ran off while Mr Britney went in his boat to check around the island. "Kate Mantine will be good also" Scott told her before running off. 'Mantine come out" Kate ordered her pokemon, in a flash of white it appeared. "Go and find Jade please" Kate told Mantine. The pokemon nodded and flew into the air. "The only reason why I am helping is because I want daddy to kill her not the wild" Kate said to herself and wiped away the sympathy she had for the girl. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A/N I hope that was good chapter, Man this is turning out be more like a soap show then a Pokemon Journey, Please review I will get the next chapter on soon, also this chapter was nine pages along, almost ten pages.

Chapter 5: On the waterfront to Dewford
The sky was clearing. It was just drizzly now. The storm passed on from Rustbro and had passed Lavridage. Lavridage was quiet, the Pokemon Gym, the hot springs, the Pokemart and center were all closed, a few trainers would walk into the pokemon center for shelter. Brown and red houses stood. The town sat on a hill overlooking the desert, if you sat on the Gym roof you could just make out Mauville.

"Sentret!, SSEEENNTTRREETT" The pokemon bellowed telling the others to keep watch for the Torkoal. "Wherever you are..

No matter how far I will be right here waiting.. for you" Flannery couldn't hold it any longer she layed down on the ground unaware of the pokemon around the area including the desert dewellers were nearby.

"We are almost their" Mr Britney called out to the trio, the dock could just been seen. He put the boat into the dock and they got out. Scott fished his pocket and pulled some ten dollars note out.
"Here for you" Scott said handing it to Mr Britney. "
"Oh No I do this for free, you keep your money" Mr Britney said.

Jade had finally took in the scenery, It was like Petalburg but the houses weren't next to each other, the ground was sand, expect some parts which was the road. The Dewford Gym stood their, It had bricks on the outside and the roof resembles as a foot. Jade noticed a Dark blue creature with a horn on its head sucking something out of a tree. 'What that?" Jade asked Scott and Kate they just shrugged. 'Great none of our pokedex would work would they" Jade mumbled to herself, The pokemon jumped of the tree and turned around, it was a bug pokemon and looked like a Stag beetle. It lifted a boulder with its horn and tossed it. 'Wow that pokemon is so cool" Jade said. "Please!" Kate said in a snobby way but Jade ignored her "Torchic!" I choose you!" Jade cried out but Torchic pokeball wasn't their.
"Where is my Torchic?" Jade asked. "Did you pick it up?" Scott asked. Jade didn't recalled it, the only pokemon that was recalled were Dewgong and Mantine. Kate starting laughing "Did you pick your Torchic up, Or yours Kate!" Jade snapped at the girl. "What?" Kate replied her smile disappearing, "Oh my god my Sceptile!'

They ran to Mr Britney "Mr Britney you gotta take us to the island again we left our pokemon their" Jade cried, Mr Britney wasted no time, they got on and headed towards it. As they were leaving Jade saw a trainer just getting off a Blastoise and a pokeball which rang a bell in her head but she couldn't figure out why, the ball had sand stuck to it.
Two pokeballs sat on the hot sandy beach. The one on the right started shaking soon came out Kate Sceptile and the followed by Torchic. 'Scep?" Sceptile asked Torchic who belonged to Scott. But Jade Torchic was no where to be found. "Tor?, Torchic" Torchic replied back. A boat was closing in on the island but the confused pokemon didn't pay attention
'Sceptile" The green pokemon was asking if Torchic knew where they were but the red chick was just as confused. "Torchic, Sceptile" two familiar voices rang out, Scott and Kate ran to their pokemon. "Scep, Tor" The two cried happily, they embraced in a hug. "Torchic?" Jade asked not seeing her pokemon or pokeball anyway. "Jade" Scott said. "Please no, dam it I just started training" Jade said tears fell.
"Jade we will find her, but it might be a possible she was picked up by another trainer but we could get to Dewford and catch up" Scott reassured her. "No it isn't No" Jade cried 'I promise you Jade I will find her" Scott replied he tried to hug her but Jade pulled away. "Its useless why don't you think I have a pokemon huh?, Because I am absolutely useless" Jade shouted "That not true" Scott protested Jade looked at Scott.
"Just go away, Kate will help you, I am just a nothing" Jade said before running away.
"Jade!, Wait!" Scott yelled but Jade had vanished into the bushes. Kate felt a little pain in her heart as she saw the pain and hurt on Jade face and she didn't bother with a comment. 'Let her go Scott she will come around" Kate replied putting her hand on his shoulder. "Tor, Scep, Wing" The three pokemon said sadly. "Okay everyone lets search for her" Scott told them. The three pokemon ran off while Mr Britney went in his boat to check around the island. "Kate Mantine will be good also" Scott told her before running off. 'Mantine come out" Kate ordered her pokemon, in a flash of white it appeared. "Go and find Jade please" Kate told Mantine. The pokemon nodded and flew into the air. "The only reason why I am helping is because I want daddy to kill her not the wild" Kate said to herself and wiped away the sympathy she had for the girl. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A/N I hope that was good chapter, Man this is turning out be more like a soap show then a Pokemon Journey, Please review I will get the next chapter on soon, also this chapter was nine pages along, almost ten pages.
