The Nido King
Chapter 6
It is now the next day. Pluscuam, Rovert, and you decided to stay in Hoenn last night and split the cost of a room in a center not too far from Frank's house. The center was located in Oldale Town. Oldale Town is a quaint little town with almost nothing of interest. The three of you woke up very early. When everyone was ready, you all left the room to go see how Frank is. As you're heading out of the center, you peer up at the clock above your head. It now read 7:04 am.
"How about a story?" Rovert asked as everyone made it out of the center. You nod. Rovert turns to Pluscuam to see or hear his response to the question.
"I don't know." Pluscuam said with a shake of his head and a gesture made by his shoulders.
"Fine! GO ON AHEAD THEN!" Rovert screamed at Pluscuam. Pluscuam took Rovert's advice. He turned around and headed back into the center. As Pluscuam was taking care of business, Rovert and you decided to sit on some rocks besides the center.
"Now it's my turn to tell you a story." Rovert says with a grin. He pulls out a blue and red ball, the same type of ball Shelby is in. You wonder if that's whom he's bringing out.
In a matter of seconds, a green and spiky ball-type creature stands in front of you. The creature opens what seem to be its eyes and stares right at you. "Cac cacnea." The creature says.
"This is Cactusbutt, my Cacnea." Rovert says with one of his famous grins. "I thought you would find it relaxing to cuddle up with Cactusbutt during the story. FYI, be careful of Cactusbutt's needles. They can be sharp." Cactusbutt then jumps up into your lap.
Rovert stands up and quickly clips the ball back on his belt. He sits back down on the rock and prepares to start his story.
"Ahem, I shall begin. Remember when we first met?" Rovert asked.
You nod.
"Ok, and remember when I explained why I acted like Frank?" Rovert asks.
You nod again.
"Ok then, now I will go a little bit more into detail." Rovert reaches a hand over the to the creature in your lap. He strokes the yellow flower upon Cactusbutt's head. "Well, as I said before, Frank lets me dress up like him and have my own experiences with pokemon. He lets me go out and catch pokemon to raise, he lets my train them with some trainers he knows, etc. Of course, there are guidelines I have to follow, but I don't worry to much about them." You flash Rovert a look of worry. "I know, I should probably pay more attention to the guidelines, but lets not worry about them now. Now, lets get back to the story. Because Frank gave me an opportunity like this, I got to do something normal trainers can't necessarily do. I got to catch my favorite pokemon first. I mean, usually, trainers go to the laboratories where they get their first pokemon. I got to go around all of that and catch my favorite pokemon first. You know who my favorite pokemon is, don't you?" You shake your head from side to side.
Rovert reaches for another bluish ball from his belt. He throws the ball in the air and out of the ball shoots a red beam. After the red clears, Shelby is present.
"Oyster, cloy cloyster." Shelby says while opening up its shell.
Rovert catches the ball from the air and clips it back on his belt. "Yep, my favorite pokemon, and the first pokemon I caught, is SHELBY THE CLOYSTER!" Rovert screams.
Suddenly, a strange figure dressed in what looks like a blue and white baseball uniform ran out of the center, turned to the side of it, and ran behind it.
"Who was that?" Rovert asked you. You give him a quizzical look.
On a little island behind Mossdeep City, stood a miniature cave. Inside the cave was a vast arrangement of miscellaneous decorations. There was a table with dolls on top, a silver plaque commemorating that the owner defeated at least 50 consecutive opponents at the Battle Tower, and some trick mats. This was a great place for one to hang out in, except for the occasional tide's ebb and flow.
"Good," Pluscuam starts saying to himself. "I can now work on my artificial pokemon, instead of hanging with Frank and his gang." Pluscuam finished. He was no longer decked out in a outfit the same color of Frank's house, but now in a blue and white baseball uniform. Pluscuam headed towards the back of the cave, where his table with dolls on top stood.
Soon, two more people dressed in similar outfits as Pluscuam entered the cave.
"Hey boss, how are things going?" One of the men said.
"Fine Mussi," Pluscuam started. "I'm just plugging the secret code into the machine to get a complete pokedex. I can't stand having question marks in my pokedex." Pluscuam finished. He stepped away from the machine for a second and flashed the pokedex's screen towards the man known as Mussi.
"Oh, I see." Mussi replied to Pluscuam's action.
Pluscuam turned back to the machine and hit one of two buttons. One was blue and had A on it, and one was green and had B on it. Pluscuam pushed the blue button, thus activating the machine. Pluscuam then peered at his unchanged pokedex.
"Darn! DANG!" Pluscuam screamed at his minions. He now turned to the other man. "Where did you get this secret code Matt?" He asked the man.
"Umm…I got it from Team Damort." Matt uttered.
"What? WHY?" Pluscuam asked Matt. "You know that Team Jerod, that's us, and Team Damort, that's them, are sworn enemies. Why would you do that?"
"Gee boss, we forgot." The two minions say simultaneously.
"Well don't forget it next time." Pluscuam says sternly. "Now go off and find the RIGHT code for me, got it?" Pluscuam asks.
"We got it boss." The two say simultaneously again. With that, the two quickly leave in search of the code.
Rovert and you decide that the two of you should now be on your way to Frank's. This is a good idea considering that his story is now over. The two of you get up and start along the path back to Frank's house.
The two of you get to Frank's in no time, with no exchange of words being said. You open the front door to see a happy and healthy Frank sitting on his bed. You also notice that all the grass pokemon have left. Frank turns to you.
"Hey all. I feel much better." Frank says clearly. You nod. He looks at the two of you enter. "Where's Pluscuam?" He asks with a look of confusion.
"He didn't seem interested with my story, so I suggested that he should leave." You give Rovert a stern look. "Ok, I ordered him to leave." Rovert says with a laugh.
"This isn't funny." Frank started. "I know what Pluscuam's doing. And it's not good."
