Better and Tougher, the Real Adventures
Chapter 23: The Love You Must Pass Onward
Well here we are again, back in Pallet Town with Mrs. Spacro. huh? Oh, right! Carl's mom! Duh! She looks kind of sad. and lonely. Let's do a mind scan, which only we narrators and authors can call upon any time we want to. Oops, I shouldn't have told you that!
'It's so lonely without Carl around anymore. I worry every day that he will be ok.' Her mind reads to our powers. And look where she is, its Mrs. Garen. You should remember her. don't you? If not, read chapter one, you spoiled sports!
"So then I said to him," begins Mrs. Garen, not waiting for me to let you know all this, "You can get that if you." and now she pauses! Us narrators have no power, except mind reading of our characters! And Mrs. Garen seems to notice that Carl's mom is lonely without her son. Makes you wonder, why? Children are a burden, and. ugh, getting sidetracked. "You ok, Jennifer?" she asks, as they sit outside on a nice sunny day that screams 'GIVE ME RAIN DANCE!'
"Huh?" she asks in a daze. "Oh, nothing Laura." She sighs.
I got to zap back to the action with our main man, and quickly, but wait a second! What's this? It's that girl back in Pallet, who secretly has a big crush on Carl. She's been eavesdropping on the adults. "Poor Mrs. Spacro!" she feels upset, "She needs a friend." She isn't talking to herself, since Carl 'did' give her a Ledyba (remember?) "I think we should try to make her happy." Sheryl ponders, as Ledyba chants its name with a bit of cheer. This thing sounds like it'll get interesting, and maybe controversial. but you can't find out yet! Just be patient, jeez!

"HELLOOOO?" yelled a bewildered Carl into the Power Plant, which seemed somewhat dark. It even did that cool echo thing that happens.
"There's no need to scream!" shouted Elise. She too received the echo effect. "Hmm? What's that?" she pointed at something floating.
Carl knew what it was, or more like, what 'they' were. "Wow, look, 2 Magnemites!" They were busy floating through the electric producing place, which is very important. And out from one of Carl's Pokeball popped (surprise!) his Magnemite! "Magnemite! What are you doing?" he was a bit worried.
"Carl, just look!" Kim pointed out, noticing the 3 Magnetic pokemon conversing with one another. "I think Magnemite wants some fun time."
"Oh, I see!" Carl realizes at long last.
"Hey! Who's there?" came a loud feminine voice. "I must ask you to not try to capture the pokemon here," noticing a pokeball in Carl's hand. "They're my pokemon!" The figure came into view. It was a woman with short blonde hair.
"I guess you're the gym leader here." Yetis said to the aside. And all he got in response was a nod.
"Yes. I'm Laurella!" she replied. "With a question like that, I presume you're here for a battle. But please keep your pokeballs away from my Magnemites!" she glared at Carl, who REALLY, REALLY was lucky that she wasn't an Ekans.
"One of those Magnemites belongs to him." Kim managed to become Carl's voice in a time of need, the lucky fool!
"You're right." Laurella took a good look at them, "That one looks too weak to be one of the Plant's." she then went back on topic. "If you want a battle, then c'mon!" she was a very impatient woman, no doubt.
Carl and the others merely followed along. With the 3 Magnemites along side of them, they were lead to a strangely out of place room. for a power plant, but rather typical for a Pokemon gym or stadium. "Wow, this place is such a variety pack!" Elise was a bit in awe.
"So, which of you was here to battle! We'll go 2 on 2." The leader wondered aloud.
"We did!" Carl and Yetis went in near unison, only off by a few millionths of a nanosecond.
"Well." the leader sighed in a strange annoyance. "I guess we can go 2 at the same time." She was still glum and distasteful.
"Alright!" Carl was happy, as he grabbed for a pokeball. Unfortunately, before he could send in Weepinbell to do some dirty work, a volunteer from the audience emerged. "Magnemite, what are you." Carl paused as the flying magnet that belonged to Carl entered the arena. "Oh, I understand. Sure, of course you can take this battle." If Magnemite had a tongue, it might just lick Carl's face. But it doesn't, thank goodness!
"And I'll send in Primeape!" Yetis tossed the pokeball that held the not so cheeky monkey.
"I see." Went the leader with a slight roll of her eyes, as the sudden mood she used changed, "Jolteon, Koffing, get in there and show them how to win!" From pokeballs both came a landmine with a skull on its chest. It was purple, and spherical, and that was its whole body. As for the Jolteon, it was a very needled creature of high lightning power, yellow, and very shocking down to its looks.
"No time for a Pokedex scan. Magnemite, lets get things started with Sonic Boom!" Carl offered as an order to his pokemon.
Yetis had an idea, "Primeape, grab Koffing hold on tight!" he had a plan all right! As the monkey-Mon sprang into action, leaping with its primal might, and latching with its great apelike dexterity, it was a hold of the floating time bomb.
"Jolteon, use your Agility and avoid the sound waves." The gym leader gave the command, "Koffing, use Poison Gas attack on that stupid monkey." And from that, came the 'rare' values of a porous body, especially advantageous when those pores are watchtower defense style, providing cover- fire in the form of deadly toxins. Sounds lovely! And what about our favorite monkey? Well, lets just say he had some very bad gas. ingested! "Looks like you're better off keeping your monkey back at the circus, because you just have lame tricks!" snapped the gym leader broad.
"Magnemite, now that Jolteon is really close, use Swift attack!" Carl gave the word, and Jolteon, even with its great speed, was overpowered by the perfect accuracy of Swift, as it was seeing stars, and getting hurt by them too. It was a great barrage, and you should all know that Jolteon is not the endurance based one of the Eevee evolutions!
"Jolteon, you did nicely, but we're not done yet!" the leader remarked, "Now that you're all hyped up with agility, use Baton Pass!" she ordered.
"Baton Pass?" asked one of the main characters, followed shortly by another, and then the last one, except Yetis.
"Oh no, not Baton Pass!" he yelled in fear. "All that Agility will go right to another pokemon! That Koffing will be tough to beat."
And so it happened, as a parade baton suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and went right towards Koffing, who suddenly began to feel hyper, and really super charged! "Unfortunately, Baton Pass requires me to withdraw Jolteon from the match." Mumbled Laurella. then attention back to Carl "Well! It looks like we're down to just you and me!" she smirked. "And for your metal-headed pokemon, it's time to turn up the heat! Koffing, Take Down!"
'Koffing!' it said in a slightly groggy voice, as it charged towards Magnemite with newly found extra speed, and crashed right into the Magnet pokemon, whom, even with a Steel Coated body, felt the pressure of the impact.
"Magnemite, use Thunder Bolt!" Carl gave the order, causing great surges of electricity to fly from its body, and zoom towards the poisonous mine in the sky.
"Now, for real, we turn up the heat!" smirked the gym leader. "Dodge that thunder and use Flamethrower! No scrap metal machine can withstand its heat!" went the command. And so it began, a mere swerve away from danger, and a twist to open its mouth, and release a stream of pure fire from its mouth. Actually, it was burning poisons, but don't tell anybody, or we'll be fired! No pun intended.
Magnemite was a poor, poor creature that day. But we have a little help from the sidelines today. The other 2 Magnemites, the ones who became friends with the Magnemite of our main man, came closer to the field, and the pokemon of our main man turned to a drastic measure, creating a polar magnetic force! Guaranteed to attract magnets, or your money back, in the form of Pay Day. And now we have 3 Magnemites stuck together. That glow is not very right though, or is it?
"No way!" Elise shouted from the sidelines.
"Carl!" Yetis called out, "Magnemite is.or I should say." he paused, "Those Magnemites are all fusing together! They're evolving! They're becoming a Magneton!" he shouted!
And after a slight light show, a bigger pokemon floated, three Magnemites, bound for all eternity to share their lives together, and be the powerful magnet that it now is.
"Alright!" Carl cheered, "Way to go Magnemites. Let's finish this battle! Thunder!" he ordered, as he watched Magneton surged with a great electrical power, and zapped the floating time bomb out of the sky, and into its defeat.
"Well done. You have a strong will, and it shows in your pokemon." Laurrella explained. "A deal is a deal, so here are the badges you earned." She held out 2 pin-able badges! "You're now owners of the Hydro-E. Badge." She explained.
"Magneton, you were awesome!" Carl went to hug the flying magnet, but was he going to receive the love he was going to show? Only one third of it did. The original Magnemite, the others didn't know Carl. Who was he to take these 2 free pokemon and make them into slaves? So they did something that really shocked everyone, but in all reality, it only shocked Carl, but only in the more electrical definition of the word.
It seems that Carl had earned himself a rebellious pokemon!
A/N: Well, let's hear it for the big battle. Carl's the man, and they don't call it Tougher in the title for no reason! Review as always. Remember! Make suggestions if you want our main man and Co. to encounter. Future Occurrences in B&T, Real Adventures: A peek into the world of cloning sheep. Carl's friend Sheryl has some extra sneaky ideas. And Carl. well, I think the rest shall be a surprise! Until next time, keep on reading and reviewing, but mostly reviewing!
