Conquering Houenn
Chapter 8: The Abandoned Ship of terror
The Trio sat on the back of the boat as they went on their way to Slateport. "Since it a great day why don't we let out pokemon out?" Mr Britney suggested to them. "Good idea" Jade said 'Torchic, Heracross come out!" She called throwing her two pokeballs into the air.
"Torchic you too" Scott said releasing his own red chick.
"Sceptile, Mantine and Dewgong go!" Kate said throwing her three pokeballs.
The two Torchics went up where Mr Britney was and stood near the metal bars. "I see you want to talk to Peeko" Mr Britney said as he bent down, The two Torchic happily jumped on his arm. He put them onto the silver metal bars next to Wingull. "Win" Wingull asked, "Torchic" The two red chickens replied
Sceptile just stood with Kate who was looking over the bars, Dewgong swam alongside the boat swimming under the water and then jumping into the air.
Mantine flew above the boat enjoying the gentle breeze, Sometimes he would dive under the water for a few moments then jump back out.
Heracross still new to the group stood near Jade and Scott, he was still a little scared of other pokemon but humans proved no challenge for him.
"Hey what that?" Jade asked noticing another boat, but it seem to be stuck. "It's the Abandoned ship, we can go and look at it if you want" Mr Britney offered.
"No thanks, we will be fine, I just want to get to Slateport city" Jade called back.
"Torchic?" Jade pokemon said staring at the boat, Scott Torchic also stares, they both walk towards it unaware that they are about to fall off. "Torchic!" Both yelled as they fell 'Gull!" Wingull shouted as it saved both of them and brought them back up, Sceptile also suddenly become interested in this boat. "Scep?" Sceptile asked
"Looks like Sceptile and the Torchics are really interested in that boat, sure you don't want to visit it?" Mr Britney asked
"I am sure" Jade called back. Suddenly an aura surrounded Mantine as it started floating to the boat. "Mantine!" Kate called out
"Mann" Mantine cried out as it tried to wriggle out of whatever was taking him that way.
"I think we have to turn" Scott said
"Mr Britney step on it" Scott said. Sceptile then jumps into the water and swims towards the boat. "Sceptile get back here this instant" Kate yelled. Sceptile isn't very far yet so both Torchic takes a leap and safety goes onto Sceptile leaves. 'Torchic!" Both Torchic trainers cry. "Mantine, Return" Kate said trying to return them. 'Heracross try to get Mantine back" Jade ordered 'Cross" He said
'Dewgong, Get Sceptile and the two Torchic back here.
Despite the difference the two girls have about each other, they still loved pokemon the same amount and would save them, thought Kate intention is to catch a legendary as well, but she wouldn't trade Sceptile for all the legendaries in the world.
"Dewgong" Dewgong said as she swam as fast as she could to Sceptile but they drifted to the boat. "Heracross!" Heracross cried as he tried to hit Mantine out of the aura.
Mantine drifted into the abandoned boat "Hera" Heracross said flying back to Jade as they reached shore. "Its okay Heracross, Return" Jade said returning her pokemon back. They all got off and followed the pokemon onto the boat. The boat was gray with many holes in it, basically your average abandoned place. Sceptile, Dewgong and the two Torchics stood staring at a door.
"What is their problem" Kate asked They walked closer, Scott's Torchic was near a hole. 'Hey Mr Britney take care of the boat while we look for Mantine" Jade said
'Okay, borrow Peeko for your safety" He said.
"Torchic!" Scott Torchic said as it disappeared out of sight "Where did Torchic go? Scott asked.
"Don't know but lets find out" Kate said, they ran inside.
"Torchic!" Scott cried out but no answer was heard.
'Where could of the pokemon gone" Jade wondered. Suddenly an aura surrounded Jade Torchic and made her disappear.
"Torchic?" Jade asked as her pokemon was no where to be seen. "Okay whoever is doing that, its not funny!" Kate yelled Laughter was heard
"Don't you laugh at me!" Kate roared
"Win!,Win!, Gull!" Peeko screamed bloody murder everyone turned around but Peeko had disappeared.
"Sceptile, Dewgong stay with me" Kate ordered her pokemon But when she finished Dewgong too vanished
'Okay, this is not freakin funny" Jade yelled more laughter was heard. "Scep" Sceptile growled facing the long path in the ship, the laughter was coming from down their.
"Whatever it is, its coming from their" Kate pointed.
'Lets go" Scott told them, they ran down the path and into a room.
"Banette!" A creature roared scaring them. "What in the heck is that?" Kate asked pointing to the figure, Jade took out her pokedex. At that moment Sceptile disappeared 'Sceptile?" Kate asked as her green pokemon vanished.
Banette, The plush toy Banette is said to be created by a forgotten toy, someone had brought it to life, but in result it can not open its mouth or it will die and the curse would be lifted.
The pokemon was floating in the air, it was black all over with two light brown eyes, it mouth had something like a zipper going through it and its ears, if that what it was were long and had small spiky orange balls on the end of them both. "Ban" He said "What should we do Scott, all of our pokemon are gone" Kate said scared "Not all" Jade replied throwing the last remaining pokeball
"Heracross I choose you!" Jade shouted. "Hera" Heracross said as he came out. 'Heracross, Megahorn!" Jade shouted. Heracross's horn glowed and he flew at Banette "Heracross!" He shouted hitting Banette making the ghost pokemon scared.
"Ette" Banette said as it put Heracross to sleep. "Okay that a quick battle" Jade said. "Banette" Banette smiled evily at the teens. "Scott?" Kate asked jumping behind Scott. 'Okay everyone stay calm" Scott told them.
"Easy for you to say, you aren't afraid of Ghosts" Kate told him.
"Marshtomp Shadow ball!" A girl voice shouted. A blue pokemon with an orange circle on its stomach and orange eyes stood, it threw a dark ball with statics surrounding it and aimed it towards Banette. Banette avoided the attack and threw his own Shadow ball at the pokemon but did little damage. "Marshtomp, Foresight then Take down" The girl voice said again. Marshtomp eyes glow red at Banette for a few moments then Marshtomp had hit Banette.
"How is that possible? I thought Ghost pokemon were good against Normal attacks" Jade asked "Yeah but attacks like Foresight makes them solid and easier to attack" Kate explained. Jade returned Heracross as Banette floated through the wall and out of sight. "Marsh" Marshtomp said happily as the voice entered. "Who are you?" Kate asked the stranger, it defiantly wasn't Mr Britney unless if he caught a Marshtomp, turned young and into a girl. "Melody?" Jade asked The blonde girl who stood their was Jade's best friend from since they were little. She had long blonde hair, longer then Jade's, and had tanned skin and blue eyes. She also wore a red shirt that only went to her belly and a short pink skirt.
"Jade, Oh my god I can't believe its you" Melody said the two girls hugged. "How you been?" Jade asked Melody.
"I been great, I caught a Dunsparce, Feebas, Casoon and Marshtomp of course" Melody said naming her pokemon "What do you have?" Melody asked
"Uh I only have a Torchic and Heracross at the time, but my Torchic is missing along with other pokemon" Jade said
"So is your Marshtomp" Kate irrupted
"What?, No Marshtomp!" Melody cried
"Its okay sweetie, we will find them" Jade said comforting her friend.
'If you two weren't gasping bagging this wouldn't of happened" Kate said rudely.
'Who in the hell are you anyway?" Melody asked
"That Kate, an annoying one, but she also lost three of her pokemon, and the guy is Scott who also has a Torchic" Jade explained.
"Lets go" Melody said smiling at Scott. Suddenly all three of Melody's pokeballs floated out of the room. 'Hey get back here!" Melody shouted chasing after them, the others ran after her.
"Get back here, I worked hard to capture that damn Feebas!" Melody shouted. "Heracross, catch those pokeballs" Jade cried calling out her bug pokemon who had recovered from the sleep attack Banette did
"Heracross" Heracross replied flying towards the pokeballs. The pokeballs flew into a room and settled onto a wooden chair, alongside were the other pokemon all tied up.
A red and white pokemon with long steady wings quietly followed the four teens. With bright yellow curious eyes and a star crest on its stomach. No one noticed the pokemon.
"Dewgong, Mantine, Sceptile" Kate
"Torchic!" Both Scott and Jade exclaimed
"Marshtomp!" Melody said gleefully. "And Peeko" Scott said, they were all their.
"Get out" A creature growled.
"What was that?" Melody asked 'I don't know but I don't want to find out" Kate said. A Ghost pokemon appeared, It looked like a black ball with gas around it. 'A Gastly?" Jade said "Blazi" Another pokemon said from the shadows. "No pokemon should trust their masters" Gastly said.
The pokemon then stepped out of the shadows "A Blaziken" Melody said. The pokemon was tall as a human adult and was orange and red with some cream- coloured hair which split into two ends at the back.
"Blaziken" Blaziken said Jade looked him up at the pokedex Blaziken, The fighting pokemon This Pokemon is the evolved form of Torchic. Blaziken trains himself in the high mountains so he can be more powerful then the last. Blaziken long legs allow him to jump across from skyscrapers.
While they were looking it up Kate crept away into the hall. "Ias!" a voice said 'Who their?" Kate asked, she walked into another room which had boxes all around it. In the back corner Kate could see a red steady wing poking out of the corner. "It's alright I won't hurt you" Kate said as she walked closer to it. "Lat" It said.
"I won't hurt you, I don't even have weapons or pokemon" Kate told it.
Suddenly an explosion was heard. 'That better not be my pokemon you are hurting" Kate yelled. She ran out not taking another glance at the mysterious creature.
When Kate entered the room again, Heracross was facing Blaziken.
"Her, Heracross, Her, Cross!" Heracross argued
"Blaz, Ken, Ken, Blaze, Blaze!" Blaziken argued back.
"Okay what are they saying?" Kate asked, upon hearing this girl voice Blaziken went nuts and attacked her
"Help!" Kate cried as Blaziken kicked her. At this time the other pokemon were untied. "Marshtomp, Hydro Pump" Melody ordered her pokemon. "Marsh!" Marshtomp said firing a jet of water at Blaziken.
"Blaze!" Blaziken roared as he ran towards the water pokemon.
"Torchic!" Jade's and Scott's Torchics yelled jumping in front of the muddy pokemon and making Blaziken stop.
"Torchic, Torchic, Tor, Tor, Tor, Torchic!" Jade's Torchic yelled
"Blaze?" Blaziken asked.
"Torchic, Tor" Torchic said, all the other pokemon besides Gastly who disappeared all nodded their heads.
"Blaziken" Blaziken replied, he then knelt down to the Torchic and shook their feets gently with one finger. "Blaziken" Blaziken told them then he walked out.
An hour and half later and everyone is on the boat to Slateport city. "I wonder why that Blaziken attacked you Kate?" Jade asked but Kate did not answer. Shaking her head she turned to Melody "You want to join us on our journey?" Jade asked. I would love to sweetie, Also I have the Mauville badge so I am a step head of you" Melody told her.
"Lucky you, what pokemon does he train?" Jade asked "Uh Electric, but with Magneton and Magnemite that makes steel as well" She told her.
While the two went on and the pokemon enjoyed the breeze and Mr Britney taught Scott how to ride the boat, Kate stood at the edge of the boat with Sceptile.
"I suppose this is where she wound up huh Sceptile" Kate told her "Sceptile" her green pokemon replied. In her hands was a spare pokeball with a flame on it.
Flashback Kate was only 12 when she received her Grovlye and Combensken. Her dad wanted her to grow up with the pokemon. Kate and her parents were on a boat to the abandoned ship. Her mum had wavy blonde hair and tanned skin, her eyes were a bright green. Her dad was tall with dark features, he had brown eyes and black hair. When they got closer to the ship a Sharpedeo had attacked them. "Sharp" It said they were rocked forward and pushed off the boat. "Grovlye, Combensken, Return!" Kate yelled but only Grovlye was returned as she found out later. Kate and her father were found on Slateport City Beach, Her mother and Combensken were never found, well her mum still missing but she now knows where Combensken now a Blaziken was and she would return later to re-capture him. End of Flashback "Mum, God where in the hell are you" Kate asked to the sea, a tear slided down her cheek, the first tear since her Mother's funereal. She stared at the ship that was becoming nothing but a blur. "Blaziken, I will come back and recapture you, and mum, I know you are still out their somewhere, I will find you" Kate said as the boat disappeared. 'We are closing in at the port" Mr Britney called out.
