Better and Tougher, the Real Adventures
Chapter 7: The Man and the Moon Stone
It's a new day, and Carl and his traveling companion Kim, are on their way to Cerulean City so Carl can get his next badge. First however, they must cross over the mountainous terrain of Mt. Moon.
"Gee, Kim, that Mountain looks rather steep. It'll be tough to climb it. Are you sure we have to go over this mountain." Asked Carl, in an unsure tone.
"Of course we don't. We can just go through it. It's well known that there's a pass through the mountain. It is safer, but I hear that it can sometimes get cold in their." Replied Kim, "There are some good pokemon said to be found in there."
Carl smiled at the thought of that, "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" he said as he began to run towards the mountain at faster pace. There were many different Pokemon to be found in the mountain, and Carl wasn't going to miss this opportunity.
"Wait up!" called Kim as she tried to catch up. It wasn't long until she managed. More so, she did because Carl had his eyes on something. It was a small brown furred beast, with a small cylindrical nose, like that of a snout. It looked as if it were cooling down in the shade of the mountain while relaxing within the mud.
Carl decided to trust the expert advice for information, 'Swinub, the ice pig. This pokemon enjoys sloshing around in the mud during the cold weather. It does not like heat, and can be dangerous with small, but sharp tusks, hidden by fur.' "Wow, sounds like a good catch. Go Char." but then came another voice.
"Hey you!" asked a voice, to which Carl turned around and saw a grown man with a pokeball. "You a trainer?" he asked, to which Carl nodded. "Well then, how about a 2 on 2? Swinub return!" He said as he called the pig back to its pokeball.
"That swinub is yours?" asked Carl in confusion.
"Yup. So, you want to battle or not?" replied the man.
Carl merely smiled, "Sure!"
"Alright then. Name's Yetis." He said as he pulled out a pokeball.
"I'm Carl." Replied Carl, as he got ready to battle.
But Yetis didn't answer. He just began the battle. "Let's go Primeape!" h called, as he released what appeared to be a white circular fur ball surrounded by muscular legs and arms. "Ledyba! Go!" called Carl as he threw a pokeball, releasing his bug pokemon.
"Primeape, use your Thunder Punch and cream that insect." Commanded Yetis as the monkey's fists began to surge with electricity.
"Ledyba, use your Super Sonic!" called Carl, causing the bug to make a funny sound, which headed straight towards Primeape. Yet, by the time that Primeape was affected, he had already slammed the little insect with the electrical punch. "Ledyba, don't give up, use gust!" commanded Carl, as his bug began flapping its insect wings at a very fast speed, creating a gust of wind which flew right at Primeape.
"Primeape, hit it with Screech!" he called, as the fighter regained composure from the sonic blast, and made an extremely loud sound which hit the ears of the flying bug with such a force that he fell to the ground. "Hurry and get it with Fury Swipes while its down."
Ledyba couldn't hold out, the furious attack and constant swipes were too much for the little insect. "Don't worry Ledyba, you did your best. Ekans, I choose you! Use your Glare on it!" he said as he switched Pokemon. Ekans suddenly materialized and made a strange face at the fighter monkey. For some reason, the face was scary, and the monkey was frozen in place, quivering in fear! "Hit it again! Poison Sting!" commanded Carl, as the snake shot out a stream of poisonous needles from its mouth, which easily hit their unmoving target. "Good job Ekans!"
"Return!" went the other trainer, as he called back his petrified monkey "Go Swinub! Start out with Powder snow." He commanded, as the pig began snorting its name and creating a small assault of snow.
"Ekans, use bite attack!" commanded Carl, but it was too late, the cold-blooded poison pokemon was no match for the icy weather. It stopped and began to struggle against the snowstorm. "Ekans, rapid spin, and give it a tail whip." He called, as his pokemon began to whirl at a fast rate, shaking the snow from its body, and lunged right for the pig pokemon, giving it a nice sized bite mark. "Alright."
Yetis only smiled though. He had a plan. "Ancient Power!" he merely stated, as his pig pokemon began to grow stronger, and its very essence was forceful enough to push the snake off of its hide. "Don't give it time to recover! Pound it!" he called out, as Swinub began to move very fast, then jump into the air, and land right on Ekans long thin body. Carl had lost the battle.
"Wow, you're good!" said Carl, as he eyed Swinub. "That is one powerful pokemon!" he said, looking at Swinub.
"Thank you. You put up a good fight too." Replied Yetis, as the 2 trainers engaged in a friendly handshake.

"How convenient it is to find a Pokemon center near Mt. Moon." Stated Carl, as he eyed the hospital.
"Well, many pokemon trainers do head to this place to find interesting pokemon." Stated Kim. Carl wasn't paying too much attention to her at the time. He was more concerned with healing his pokemon. Kim however, was eying a nearby pokemon, which might make a good capture. "A sandshrew!" exclaimed Kim, as she watched it going about its business, looking for food in the dirt. "Chikorita! Get that Sandshrew with Razor Leaf!" she commanded as her pokemon complied. 'Chika!' while it produced several bladed leaves from its green beady necklace, and flung them at the rodent.
***
Meanwhile, inside, Carl decided it was a good time to call Professor Oak, and definitely call home to check up on things. He was rather surprised though, when he saw who it was who answered the videophone. "Hi Carl!" came a female voice!
"Sheryl?" asked Carl as he saw her on the screen, within Oak's lab. She was holding a small raccoon beast too. "Well, it's nice to see you." He said.
"I've been helping out here at Oak's lab," she stated, as she smiled at Carl, "I've been curious about pokemon, and they're so fun! Right Furret?" she smiled, and stroked it's furry back. 'Fur, Furret!' it cooed happily. "So, have you caught a lot of Pokemon yet?"
"A few, but not that many." Carl responded.
"I'll say. Oak hasn't had anything sent here from you yet. After all, after you get 6, the rest get sent the lab until you call for them." Explained Sheryl, "Calm down you!" she shouted to the Furret in her arms. "He's such a pest. I almost get the feeling that he's bored here at the Lab." To which Furret merely nodded.
"I'd say he's agreeing with you." Carl said, as an idea popped into his head. "Maybe I can take him on an adventure with me."
"Hmmm, I don't know if that'd be allowed." Said Sheryl with a slight frown. "We're not supposed to give people pokemon. Maybe if he wants to though."
"Well Furret, want to go on an adventure with me?" he asked the creature over the phone. 'Ret! Fur! Fur, fur, Furret!' yelped the raccoon pokemon with glee, and a smile on its face.
"Oh, ok. But don't let Oak know about this. He's trusting me to be responsible here." Sighed Sheryl.
"I think you're responsible." Carl said, with a smile.
Sheryl merely blushed to this compliment. "Thank you Carl. Hold on, I'm going to send you Furret now." She said, as she put him into a pokeball, and put him on a transporter machine. Seconds later, the ball materialized besides Carl in a small box.
"Thanks Sheryl. I don't know where I'd be without you." He chuckled.
"What do you mean? You're a great person by yourself. You're smart, and caring, and just look at you. You have the kind of look to you that gets good attention. I mean, me for example, I look horrible!" She said with a slight blush.
"I would disagree with that," Said Carl, bashfully, to which Sheryl really embarrassed, "Say, to make it up to you, why not I give you one of my pokemon, if it's ok with you?"
"Um, I don't know. Did you have one in mind?" she asked, still trying to hide embarrassment.
"Actually, now that you mention it, I did!" he said, releasing Ledyba from his Pokeball. "Ledyba here I don't think likes to fight much. Ledyba, how would you like to go back to live at the lab with my friend here. She's sweet, and caring, and a lovely person," to which Ledyba nodded to. 'Ledy!' he cheered, as he was put in the pokeball and sent to the lab.
"Carl, you don't need to be so modest." Said Sheryl, who was embarrassed.
Carl laughed, "I was only being honest! Anyway. My pokemon are now healed, and I have to get through Mt. Moon, take care, and tell everyone I called to say hi." Said Carl as he hung up the phone.
"Bye Carl!" said Sheryl, as she hung up the phone while smiling. 'I can't believe he actually cares about me, and I think he thinks I'm pretty!' she thought with a wide grin.
It was at this time that Kim made her way into the Center. "Well, where have you been?" asked Carl, as he looked towards Kim, with a slight smile.
"Collecting." Kim merely responded, as she opened a pokeball, revealing a sandshrew.
"Interesting." Said Carl, as he followed suit, releasing Furret. "Well, actually, it was a present from home. Although I gave up Ledyba"
"Lucky you." she mumbled.
***
"Well, this cave isn't so bad." Said Carl as he walked in, realizing that it wasn't too dark, or scary, well that is of course, with Charmander's tail lighting the way. The cave didn't seem too lively at this time. Many pokemon looked like they were asleep in this cave, mostly the many nocturnal zubats, which were blue bats with no eyes, hung upside-down from cave walls, asleep until nighttime. There was one thing though, that caught Carl's attention however, and it all started with one simple word. 'Clefairy!' which came from a small pink pokemon with pointed ears, and a funny looking tail.
"A clefairy!" exclaimed Kim, as she looked at it, "It's so adorable. I'm going to catch it!" she said, as she was about to throw a pokeball. But by then, it was already running away, well, stepping away, in slow leaps. The clefairy was holding something too.
Carl decided to ask the expert yet again. 'Clefairy is the fairy pokemon. These Pokemon are rare to see, and are said to have originated from Mt. Moon. Be wary though, for these pokemon are said to be very protective of their secrecy if found wild.' Next it showed a picture of the small sphere that the pokemon was holding. 'The moonstone,' it paused, 'this rare rock has a mysterious ability to them. It has been known to cause evolution in some pokemon. Evolving by evolution stone is sometimes not always good, for though pokemon are said to get stronger, their learning capabilities nearly deplete themselves, and new moves become few and far between.' "Interesting." said Carl, trying to find some better response. "Hey Kim, wait up." Said Carl, as he followed Kim.
Despite its small size, and odd style of movement, Clefairy was actually moving pretty fast, and it was an hour of chasing until Carl and Kim found something amazing. It was the lair of the Clefairy. There were many Clefairies, and creatures that looked like it. Pokedex spoke again, 'Cleffa,' it said, referring to a smaller creature that looked like a clefairy, 'these are known as the baby form of Clefairy. They usually are very rare to find, and are not likely to be found out of the wild.' It then gave data on another creature, which there was only one of. It was larger than Clefairy, and it had wings. 'Clefable is the evolved form of Clefairy. The way to get Clefable is evolution via moonstone. It was definitely a thing to behold, but even more amazing than these rare pokemon, there was a giant blue stone in there. It was wide too, and even an opening that let in light from outside of the cave.
"Wow!" stated Kim, as she looked inside. "It's beautiful!" she exclaimed while staring at the slightly glowing rock.
The beautiful moment wasn't going to last however. It was then that the ground started to shake. Out from the ground popped a large drill tank. It looked as if it were equipped for cargo too.
***
"This is quite the jackpot, look at all those Clefairies! I like what I see." Came a much too familiar evil voice.
"Just make sure you snatch the moon stone, Bonnie." Came another voice in response.
"No problem Wilbur, you and Jay can take care of the clefairies I'm sure." Responded Bonnie again.
"Bonnie! Don't call me Wilbur! I don't like that name." Complained William, who deathly detested being called Wilbur.
"I think we can handle this easily." Smirked Jay, as he held something in his hand. "Hah! It'll be a snap."
***
The shaking had come to a sudden stop, but that wasn't quite a big deal any more, at least not as much as the fact that a drill was in Clefairy territory. It was then that the hatch on top of the drill opened up. Out came 3 familiar figures.
"You guys again!" shouted Carl with great distaste. "Team Rocket! I'm tired of always finding you right on my tail."
"Well that's ok," smirked Jay, "Because this time we'll easily win. You wont be able to stop us either." And with that, he took out what looked to be a powerful lighting source, and pointed it towards the cave, which illuminated greatly. More importantly though, was the fact that many shrill bat-like screams, and many wings flapping followed shortly.
It only took about a minute for the Zubats to pour into the Clefairy Lair, and fly around wildly, seeking to escape the light, and fight against anything threatening. "Oh no!" shouted Kim, as she screamed in fear.
The team rocket members had this planned out, and were making their move. Jay however had his eye on one of the Clefairy. It was fighting back against the Zubats quite well. It was what he thought would make a good addition to his team. At that, he silently threw a pokeball at the Clefairy, who had taken quite a beating from the attacks. "Alright, I caught my Clefairy. You guys can let the boss have the rest!" he smiled as the ball sealed shut.
It was at this moment when hope seemed lost, that hope had come. "Swinub! Ice Beam!" called out a voice that Carl recognized all too well.
"Yetis!" yelled Carl, as he crouched down, trying not to raise too high, or risk getting zubitten. "You're the man!" he smirked, as he still remained ducked down.
It was this that got the zubats off balance. The icy shards impacted with them at a great force, and caused them all to freeze. Most of them fell to the ground, fainted, but one, larger bat stayed. It had eyes, and real feet. Yetis smiled, "Pokeball, go!" he yelled as he threw it at the larger bat. "I got Golbat!" he cheered slightly.
The clefairy meanwhile, were not too happy with Team Rocket. They went over to the 3, and began waving their fingers in the air. "Metronome!" stated Jay, "You never know what is gonna happen!"
This wasn't very comforting for the 3 rockets, as there wasn't too much time until a few Clefairies began to explode. Most all of the Cleffa were hidden behind the rocks, and the Clefable was standing in front of the moon stone as if to protect it with his life. The explosion hit team rocket with a great force, and they were sent flying into the air. "We're blasting off yet again!" they exclaimed in sadness.
They weren't the only ones affected, for pieces of the giant moonstone began to break away, and some of the Clefairies began to evolve. That wasn't the only rock affected though, because a large cave rock began to fall straight towards the giant moonstone surrounded by fairy pokemon. Carl stood up, and gasped. "We have to help them." He exclaimed, as he released his strongest pokemon. "Sudowoodo, I choose you. Stop that boulder!" he commanded, as his pokemon moved over to fight against the giant stone. It wasn't enough though.
"Let me give you a hand Carl! Primeape, help Sudowoodo!" he exclaimed, as he released his monkey pokemon. It still wasn't enough. It was then that the Fairies decided to metronome yet again. After which, many began to feel stronger. One would find them insane to try to push a boulder, but the pink pokemon seemed to find an inner strength, as they pushed against the boulder, and brought it to a halt. "They used Strength," commented Yetis, "It makes Pokemon stronger for a short time when used."
"I'll say. Are you alright?" he asked as he looked at the Fairy pokemon. They merely looked at the humans with smiles on their faces, and the Clefable who guarded the great moonstone walked up to Carl with a small piece of it in his hand.
"Looks like they're giving you a reward, Carl!" commented Kim.
"I don't deserve it." Commented Carl humbly, "I didn't do anything." He sighed, as he took the small stone. "Yetis, I think you deserve this more than I do." He said as he handed it to the man who owned the Swinub. "But I'm curious. How did Swinub beat those Zubats so easily?"
Yetis merely smiled. "I don't really need the stone, but the answer to your question is simple. Everyone knows that flying pokemon do horrible versus Ice moves. It was easy to stop them."
"I didn't know that!" stated Carl blankly.
"Well, I like you kid, how about I help you out, and show you what's what?" stated Yetis with a smirk.
"That would be great!" Carl smiled, as he looked at the Clef named pokemon. "Thank you again. I don't deserve this reward, but if it makes you happy to see me take it, then I shall. Bye!" he, and the other humans waved, as they left the cave, making their way onwards towards their destination. The next town!
It seems Carl has made a new friend today. He has also got Furret, at the price of Ledyba, and now he is on his way to becoming a pokemon master. It'll be a long road ahead, but one thing is certain, not much will happen unless reviews are made. Flames, comments, ideas, wants, needs, suggestions, problems, just let me know.
Chapter 7: The Man and the Moon Stone
It's a new day, and Carl and his traveling companion Kim, are on their way to Cerulean City so Carl can get his next badge. First however, they must cross over the mountainous terrain of Mt. Moon.

It was what he thought would make a good addition to his team. At that, he silently threw a pokeball at the Clefairy, who had taken quite a beating from the attacks. "Alright, I caught my Clefairy. You guys can let the boss have the rest!" he smiled as the ball sealed shut.
It was at this moment when hope seemed lost, that hope had come. "Swinub! Ice Beam!" called out a voice that Carl recognized all too well.
"Yetis!" yelled Carl, as he crouched down, trying not to raise too high, or risk getting zubitten. "You're the man!" he smirked, as he still remained ducked down.
It was this that got the zubats off balance. The icy shards impacted with them at a great force, and caused them all to freeze. Most of them fell to the ground, fainted, but one, larger bat stayed. It had eyes, and real feet. Yetis smiled, "Pokeball, go!" he yelled as he threw it at the larger bat. "I got Golbat!" he cheered slightly.
The clefairy meanwhile, were not too happy with Team Rocket. They went over to the 3, and began waving their fingers in the air. "Metronome!" stated Jay, "You never know what is gonna happen!"
This wasn't very comforting for the 3 rockets, as there wasn't too much time until a few Clefairies began to explode. Most all of the Cleffa were hidden behind the rocks, and the Clefable was standing in front of the moon stone as if to protect it with his life. The explosion hit team rocket with a great force, and they were sent flying into the air. "We're blasting off yet again!" they exclaimed in sadness.
They weren't the only ones affected, for pieces of the giant moonstone began to break away, and some of the Clefairies began to evolve. That wasn't the only rock affected though, because a large cave rock began to fall straight towards the giant moonstone surrounded by fairy pokemon. Carl stood up, and gasped. "We have to help them." He exclaimed, as he released his strongest pokemon. "Sudowoodo, I choose you. Stop that boulder!" he commanded, as his pokemon moved over to fight against the giant stone. It wasn't enough though.
"Let me give you a hand Carl! Primeape, help Sudowoodo!" he exclaimed, as he released his monkey pokemon. It still wasn't enough. It was then that the Fairies decided to metronome yet again. After which, many began to feel stronger. One would find them insane to try to push a boulder, but the pink pokemon seemed to find an inner strength, as they pushed against the boulder, and brought it to a halt. "They used Strength," commented Yetis, "It makes Pokemon stronger for a short time when used."
"I'll say. Are you alright?" he asked as he looked at the Fairy pokemon. They merely looked at the humans with smiles on their faces, and the Clefable who guarded the great moonstone walked up to Carl with a small piece of it in his hand.
"Looks like they're giving you a reward, Carl!" commented Kim.
"I don't deserve it." Commented Carl humbly, "I didn't do anything." He sighed, as he took the small stone. "Yetis, I think you deserve this more than I do." He said as he handed it to the man who owned the Swinub. "But I'm curious. How did Swinub beat those Zubats so easily?"
Yetis merely smiled. "I don't really need the stone, but the answer to your question is simple. Everyone knows that flying pokemon do horrible versus Ice moves. It was easy to stop them."
"I didn't know that!" stated Carl blankly.
"Well, I like you kid, how about I help you out, and show you what's what?" stated Yetis with a smirk.
"That would be great!" Carl smiled, as he looked at the Clef named pokemon. "Thank you again. I don't deserve this reward, but if it makes you happy to see me take it, then I shall. Bye!" he, and the other humans waved, as they left the cave, making their way onwards towards their destination. The next town!
It seems Carl has made a new friend today. He has also got Furret, at the price of Ledyba, and now he is on his way to becoming a pokemon master. It'll be a long road ahead, but one thing is certain, not much will happen unless reviews are made. Flames, comments, ideas, wants, needs, suggestions, problems, just let me know.
