Chapter 3: The Mundane Meadows.

"Well. This isn't good." Katie said.

"Uh, Grimer, use pound!" Bobby cried. Grimer took one look at the Ursaring, and quickly went back into the Pokeball, "Um... go Taillow! Use your, uh, peck attack."

"Tail?" Taillow cried, staring up at the Ursaring. Ursaring grabbed it and held it up to it's mouth.

"TAIL! TAILLOW TAIL TAIL!" Tailow screamed, as the Ursaring prepared to eat it.

"Taillow, return!" Bobby said quickly, sending it back, "Um, you don't happen to have a Moltres or a Lugia on you, do you?"

"Nope." Katie squeaked, "Um, Pichu, use your thundershock."

"Pi!" Pichu cried, blasting the Ursaring with electricity.

"GAROOAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!" the Ursaring yelled.

"Keep going, I think your hurting it!" Katie yelled.

"Actually, I think we may be just making it angrier." Bobby replied.

"PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Pichu screamed, continually shocking the Ursaring. Eventually, Pichu fainted.

"Uh oh.." Katie muttered.

"Wait, um, isn't the big bear meant to faint, not your Pokemon?" Bobby cried, as the Ursaring eyed him down with a murderous glint in his eye.

"Well, uh, Pichu isn't really in control of it's own electricity, so it kind of hurts itself when it zaps people." Katie explained.

"GARRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRR!" Ursaring added.

"Great... this is just great..." Bobby muttered. Suddenly he heard something, something wonderful, something that would get them out of this predicament.

"Taillow, where are you? Taillow? Taillow?" came a kid's voice from just outside the cave.

"Hey, kid, we found your Taillow!" Bobby yelled.

"Wow, really?" the kid said excitedly, running into the cave. Bobby grabbed him and threw him to the Ursaring.

"RUN!" he yelled, as he and Katie got the hell out of there.

"Hey, I don't see my Taillow- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" came the boy's voice from inside the cave, followed by several roars and screams.

"Well, that was close." Bobby said, as they ran through the shrubbery.

"What about that kid?"

"He's with God now." Bobby replied.

"Ah, that's nice- Oh," Katie said, "So, do you think we are close to Defecatus City?"

"I'm not sure, we don't seem to be anywhere near the road." They stopped running and looked around at their surroundings. They were near a small lake, where a few Mudkips and Oddishes were drinking.

"We should just rest here." Bobby said, sitting down and sending out Grimer and Taillow, then immediately returning Taillow as it tried to fly away. Katie then sent out Pichu, which was lying motionless on the ground.

"Here, use this." Bobby said, handing her a potion. She poured it into the Pichu's mouth. It woke up immediately.

"Thanks. Want a Miltank burger?" Katie asked, taking some burgers out of her bag, handing one to Bobby. As they were eating them, they heard a sound coming from Katie's bag. Turning around, they saw a Mudkip scurrying around the bag, eating food.

"Aww... that's so cute..." Katie said, petting the Mudkip, "Pichu, use thundershock." Pichu zapped the Mudkip.

"Mud..." the Mudkip squeaked, fainting. Katie threw a Pokeball at it.

"Oooh, I caught a Mudkip!"

"Uh, Katie, we should probably get going now." Bobby said nervously.

"Aww, but I want to catch an Oddish as well."

"Yeah, but there is a Swampert over there that seemed to notice you electrocuting one of it's children, and I believe it's heading this way." Bobby said, getting increasingly worried as the very large, blue creature headed towards them.

"Okay, let's leave," Katie said quickly, and they ran off, "Wow, who knew training Pokemon could be so dangerous?"

"Yeah, apparently it's one of the ten most dangerous professions," Bobby replied, "Didn't you see that Sixty Minutes report on that kid who was eaten by his Tyranitar?" After about a half an hour they found the road again.

They continued down the road. It was now the afternoon, and sun was shining right on them, making Grimer smell worse than he already did. Bobby had simply decided to let Grimer stay out of it's pokeball, so that other people at least knew why he stank so bad.

------

"So... tired..." Katie gasped, about three hours later. The Mundane Meadows were living up to their reputation as one of the most boring places on earth, and neither Katie or Bobby had seen any Pokemon, trainers or even trees in the last two hours.

"Do you have any food left?" Bobby panted.

"No... Mudkip ate most of it," Katie replied, "You should have let me catch an Oddish, I heard they can be quite tasty..."

"Defecatus City shouldn't be too far away now." Bobby said hopefully.

"Grime..." Grimer moaned. The heat was making him smell awful now, and Bobby and Katie were close to passing out from it. Suddenly, Bobby felt a drop of water fall on his head. After a couple of minutes it started to pour with rain.

"Sweet, beautiful rain! How I love you!" Bobby cried.

------

"Foul, evil rain! How I loathe you!" Bobby screamed at the sky an hour later. It was now pouring with rain, and they had now entered what appeared to be a rather lush forest. The ground had been reduced to sludge, and so had Grimer, who had almost become liquid before Bobby finally recalled him into his pokeball. All their other Pokemon had already fainted, because there were now a lot of Pokemon eager to battle them.

"Trust me, that doesn't work," Katie replied, rubbing her arm from where a Mankey had bitten her, "I used to yell at the sky when bad things happened to me, but all that happened was that Dad made me see a psychiatrist. And then the psychiatrist started stealing my stuff, and when I complained to Dad he made me see her more. Then I found out she wasn't actually a psychiatrist, just some weird lady my Dad was dating. Luckily, she became one of Uncle Stan's first victims, and I didn't have to see her anymore." Bobby stared at her for a couple of seconds.

"Anyway, Defecatus City shouldn't be that much further." he said, trying to change the subject.

------

Half an hour later, they exited the forest and reached the outskirts of Defecatus City. It was getting dark now, and both Bobby and Katie were eager to get to a Pokemon center.

"Finally..." Katie said. They were about to enter the town., when they heard a voice above them.

"STOP RIGHT THERE! YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" shouted a figure in the tree above them, and he jumped down in front of them, crashing into the ground.

"Ouch..." he gasped, and he then leaped to his feet. He was a short, overweight man, who was wearing a black mask and a black cape, "I am Goja, the ninja master! You cannot enter Defecatus City unless you defeat me in battle!"

"Yes, that's nice..." Bobby muttered, as they pushed Goja to the side and started walking into town.

"You two know no honor! You must face me, or you shall enter Defecatus City as unworthy trainers!"

"Look, whoever you are, we are tired, we are soaking wet, all our Pokemon have fainted, and we just want to get to a Pokemon center. Anyway, you aren't asking those people to battle you." Bobby said, pointing to a group of older looking trainers.

"Well, uh, yes, but they are much more experienced trainers, and will probably defeat me. You two, however, are very young, and therefore easy to beat." Goja said, attempted to sound wise, and failing miserably. Bobby sighed and shoved him into the mud. He and Katie walked into Defecatus City, both making sure to step on him.

"Goja has been defeated!" he called after them "But soon, soon you must face me again! And then, then you shall feel the wrath of the ninja!"

Back in Slopbucket Town, as Professor Gary Oak lay passed out on the sofa, a masked figure sneaked into his lab and stole the remaining pokeball that was on the table.

"Hahaha..." the figure said silently, "With this Pokemon, Team Stone shall be the most powerful team ever!"
