Chapter 11: A Sick Pokemon

When Andy and Aaron finally get to Olivine, they are greeted by the last person they wanted to be in a welcome committee.

"Don't waste your time Loser. The gym leader isn't here."

"Do you know where she is then?" Andy asked

"How should I know? I'm going to do some training." Greg said before he walked off.

"I…Hate…Him." Aaron said trying to keep his cool.

"Don't let him get to you Aaron. At least he didn't say anything about you-know-what."

"Good point." Aaron sighed.

"Let's go sightseeing." Andy said changing the subject.

"Alright. Let's go to that lighthouse." Aaron agreed as he pointed to the lighthouse.

After some training in the lighthouse, resulting in the evolution of Pidgey, when our two heroes plus Pikachu made it to the top, they found something that they were looking for.

"Hello. May I help you?" an older teen asked.

"Yes. Do you want to battle?" Aaron asked.

"I would like to, but I have to take care of Amphy. And I also only battle at the gym."

"You're the gym leader?" Aaron asked.

"Yes. I'm Jasmine. The Olivine Gym Leader. Sorry if it was an inconvenience for you, but this Ampharos is sick."

Aaron pulled out his Pokedex.

"Ampharos. The Light Pokemon. The bright light on its tail can be seen from far away. It has been treasured since ancient times as a beacon."

"Can we help?" Andy asked.

"Well, there is a store in Cianwood that sells medicine. Can you two get it for me?"

"Sure." Aaron said. "Andy, when does the next ferry to Cianwood leave?"

"In five minutes."

"We'll see you later Jasmine." Aaron said rushing out of the lighthouse.

"Hurry back."

"Pikaaa!" (We will!)

In Cianwood,

"Thank you." Aaron told the man at the drug store.

"No problem."

"Hey Aaron! Guess what!"

"What?" Aaron asked his friend who just came running into the store after sightseeing.

"The gym here is open. If you hurry, you can break that trend of yours." Andy told him.

"Really? Don't just stand there. Here." Aaron told him before shoving the medicine into him and running off.

"Umph. Jeez. No reason to be so hard at giving me the medicine." Andy said half to himself due to the fact that Aaron had already reached the gym.

After Aaron defeated Chuck's Primeape and Poliwrath with Quilava and Static, the two boys headed back to Olivine.

"That was quite a battle." Andy told Aaron.

"Yeah. I was a little nervous at some points."

"But you pulled through."

"Andy?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you think Mom would be proud of me?"

Andy looked at Aaron and saw that he was serious.

"I really think she would be."
