Chapter Seven: On Silver Wings

Nari and Jukla looked at each other, stunned. They had no idea what was going on, and it was too much for them to handle. And the thing that they were most curious about was what was inside the PokeBall. After a few minutes, Nari couldn't take it anymore. He picked up the ball and threw it, saying, "Come out!"

The PokeBall hit the ground and a Pokemon came out. Nari and Jukla gasped at the sight of it. It was Articuno.

Both trainers had heard the legend of Articuno when they were younger. Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. The Three Protectors of Kanto. Their names meant 'Arctic, One', 'Zap, Two', and 'Molt, Three'. It was so long ago that they didn't remember the legend, but they knew that Articuno was mainly blue. The three feathers on top of its head, its wings, its tail, its back, and all of its front except the beak, feet, eyes, and tummy were blue. But when they saw it now, all of these spots were silver. It was a shiny Articuno. But how could that be? There was only one Articuno and it lived on Seafoam Island south of Kanto. Something must have gone wrong there.

Again, Nari and Jukla were speechless. This was only their first night as Pokemon trainers and they had gotten in to all this. They could not think of what to do with Articuno, or what to make of Articuno.

"Okay," said Jukla. "He said to take good Articuno, so we'll keep it and train it. But he didn't say anything else. We'll keep on doing the Yellow League and fighting battles and gym leaders. It can't be that big of a deal."

"Yeah," replied Nari. "As a matter of fact, I bet we'll never even hear of this 'Team Chlorophyll' again."

But they could not have been farther from the truth.

New Gang Threatens Jour

A new group of criminal trainers known as Team Chlorophyll has come out of nowhere and committed a series of crimes all over Jour. Over the past few days, many mansions, museums, and banks have been robbed of very precious items that many robbers would want. However, detectives believe that Team Chlorophyll is after something much more valuable than this. Chief Jason Trankse, head of the JPI, said last Tuesday, "Whatever Team Chlorophyll may be up to, we guarantee you that we will put an end to their shenanigans and stop the recent crime spree going on in Jour."

Nari and Jukla didn't feel like reading more. Jukla had to raise her Pokemon's levels. The closest gym leader, Rocky, had two level 15 Pokemon. Nari could use his Squirtle, but Jukla needed to train Highzard to at least level 15, for Nosepass wouldn't fare well against another rock-type. So they went into the forest to train.

Okay. Now, a question for my reviewers. Say you have a Pokemon that knows Bullet Seed, Solar Beam, Razor Leaf, and Vine Whip. Now you're Pokemon makes it to a new level. It wants to learn Leaf Blade. Do you learn it or not? If yes, which move do you forget? Thanks.

Anyway, The Cutest Duchess, thanks for all the reviews. I would be interested in using Blazrur and Aqudroo. I put them in my Jour Dex (which besides them just has Highzard, Warburn, Bubblion, and my evolutions for them). Could you let me know what types they are and when they evolve and into what? I'll appreciate it.

And about the story, I'm going to be doing sixteen gym leaders instead of eight because I think it would be boring if they both won each badge and they were both battling each gym leader. That means I'll be making a gym leader for each type except one (probably normal). I'm not sure yet which one is going to do Pebble Badge.
