Episode 144: Krabby Town
A couple of days have passed since the Pokémon Sumo Conference and they continued on with their journey and their way to Olivine City.
Along the way, Sora gets approached by a young woman with long red hair.
"You any good in a battle, kid?" The young woman asked him.
"How about you battle me and find out?" Sora countered.
"I shall. How about we use four Pokémon each," the young woman suggested.
"Four it is then," Sora said. The both of them took out a Pokéball and threw them.
"Go for it, Granbull!" The young woman shouted. The Pokéball opens and lets out a huge Granbull.
"Go Croconaw!" Sora shouted. Croconaw flexes his muscles upon entry.
"Granbull! Crunch!" The young woman ordered. Granbull charges towards Croconaw.
"Dodge it and use Ice Fang!" Sora ordered. Croconaw manges to avoid the attack and land a chilling bite on the bulldog-like Pokémon. "Now use Slash!" Croconaw swipes at Granbull right on the side of its face.
"Granbull! Thunder Punch!" The young woman ordered. Granbull throws an electric punch on Croconaw's right cheek. Croconaw had to admit, that was a good hit, but it wasn't enough to take him down.
"Use Water Gun now!" Sora ordered. Croconaw fired Water Gun right into Granbull's body and it stood its ground. Granbull kept coming towards Croconaw even when taking a full-scale water attack. "Cease fire and use Slash!" Croconaw stopped firing Water Gun and swiped his claws right on Granbull.
Uknown to anyone, a short girl with long brown hair and wine colored eyes wearing a yellow dress was watching the battle with a telescope. She was watching the battle from a distance and was amazed by strong the Croconaw is. She saw how how a Croconaw was keeping up with a large Granbull.
"This kid is pretty something," the short girl said to herself.
Back to the battle, Croconaw and Granbull were still at it.
"Granbull! Play Rough!" The young woman ordered. Granbull rushes over to Croconaw again.
"Water Gun! Turn up the pressure!" Sora ordered. Croconaw fired a powerful Water Gun and it carried Granbull in it. It hit a tree, knocking it out. "Way to go, Croconaw! That was awesome!"
"Croconaw!" Croconaw shouted. The echo is heard in the nearby town that is overunning with Krabby. All the people and Krabby heard the echo from not too far. In another nearby town the same echo was heard. The sound made the townspeople almost jump. One of them is a young man with light brown hair and has brown eyes and wearing glasses.
"What was that?" The young man asked.
Some of the other townspeople heard the echo. Also among them were three other teens; two girls and two boys.
One of them is a boy with tanned skin and has blonde messy hair and with light brown eyes. He wore a light green shirt and white shorts. He wore blue sandals.
One girl has long red hair tied in a ponytail. She wore a blue and white dress. He wore brown shoes and white socks with a red stripe.
One boy has short black hair and blue eyes. He wore a yellow buttoned shirt and blue shorts. She wore white shoes with white socks.
One girl has brown hair and brown eyes. She wore a pink midriff baring top and a white skirt. She also wore white shoes.
Back to the battle, the young woman calls back her Granbull and pulls out another Pokéball and threw it.
"Go Forretress!" The young woman shouted. She let out a silver spherical Pokémon that doesn't have any visible limbs. Its upper and lower halves of its body are capped by bumpy steel plates. The outer plates have zigzagging ridges that open along its back and front, revealing its smooth, red inner shell. The inner shell is punctuated by four cylindrical spikes, each tapering to an open point. Between the spikes, the inner shell opens along a straight line to reveal Forretress's eyes, which are round with large pupils. Sora took out his Pokédex and scanned the Pokémon in front of him.
"Let's see what does Dexter has to say about this one," Sora said.
Forretress, the Bagworm Pokémon
The evolved form of Pineco
Type: Bug/Steel
Forretress conceals itself inside its hardened steel shell. The shell is opened when the Pokémon is catching prey, but it does so at such a quick pace that the shell's inside cannot be seen.
"So that's what Pineco evolves into," Sora said putting his Pokédex away. He calls back Croconaw and pulls out another Pokéball. "How about we heat things up. Go Quilava!" Sora threw the Pokéball and Quilava bursts his flames upon entry.
Over to the short girl, she grins, knowing he switched a Water Type with a Fire Type. A young woman walking down wearing a green shirt and a long white white skirt. She was eating a tasty candy treat and she noticed the short girl.
"Huh?" The young woman asked. "Miss Isabelle?" The girl turned around and noticed her.
"Oh, hi Miss Michelle," Isabelle greeted.
"What are you doing all the way out here?" Miss Michelle asked.
"Just watching a Pokémon battle from afar," Isabelle said. "And it's a pretty interesting battle, by the looks of it." Miss Michelle took a look inside and saw what she meant. A battle was underway.
"Forretress! Use Double- Edge!" The young woman ordered. Foretress chaarges towards Quilava with incredible force.
"Dodge it and use Flamethrower!" Sora ordered. Quilava fired Flamethrower right towards Forretress.
"Protect," the young woman ordered. The fire attack bounces right off. Some Krabby nearby got hit by the flames and ran off.
"Flame Wheel!" Sora ordered. Quilava rolled into a ball of fire and headed towards Forretress.
"Dodge!" The young woman called out. Forretress moves out of the way before Flame Wheel could hit it. "Now use Headbutt!" Forretress headed towards Quilava.
"Hurry! Dodge it!" Sora called out. Quilava tried to dodge, but he got hit by Forretress's Heabutt.
"Flamethrower again!" Sora ordered. Quilava darted right in front of Foretress cathing both the Pokémon and the trainer by surprise. Quilava fires a full power Flamethrower right in its face.
Forretress falls right on the ground beaten and its body all red and steamy from the Flamethrower attack.
"No way! He took down two of my Pokémon like it nothing!" The young woman exclaimed.
"Way to go, Quilava!" Sora praised his Pokémon. Quilava felt pretty proud to win it for his trainer. She calls back Forretress after it cooled down a bit.
"That wasn't bad, kid. Let's see how you handle my next one." She said. She took out another Pokéball and threw it. "Go Machoke!" The Pokéball opens and Machoke flexes upon entry. Sora calls back Quilava and takes out another Pokéball.
"Go for it, Bayleef!" Sora shouted. The Pokéball opens and Bayleef runs towards Sora and gives her trainer an affectionate nuzzle. Sora wheezed, "Bayleef! I love you too, but you have a battle to do!"
"Bay, Bay!" Bayleef said. She got into position. She smirks.
"Go Machoke! Move in with Poison Jab!" The young woman ordered. Machoke charges right at the leaf Pokémon to land a venomous jab.
"Bayleef! Dodge and use Headbutt!" Sora ordered. Bayleef manages to dodge Machoke's Poison Jab and rammed her head into the superpower Pokémon's back. "Now use Vine Whip!" Bayleef sent her vines to smack Machoke.
"Machoke! Grab those vines!" The young woman called out. Machoke grabs the vines and held on. "Now pull Bayleef towards you!"
"Bayleef! Stand your ground!" Sora ordered. Bayleef manages to stand firmly in the ground as Machoke pulls Bayleef right towards it.
"Razor Leaf!" Sora ordered. Bayleef fired her Razor Leaf right at Machoke. The leaves did hit Machoke, but isn't bothered by the attack.
"That's great, Machoke! Now use Fire Punch!" The young woman ordered. Machoke threw Fire Punch right onto Bayleef's left side.
"Headbutt!" Sora ordered. Bayleef landed a headbutt into Machoke.
"Now use Vital Throw!" The young woman ordered. Machoke swings Bayleef by the vines and moves around and around. Machoke throws Bayleef and she hits the same tree as Granbull. She fell to the side all knocked out.
"Bayleef!" Sora gasped. He ran up to the leaf Pokémon. "You okay, Bayleef?"
"Bay," Bayleef answered.
"Don't apologize. You did your best; and that's all I expect from you. Don't feel bad about losing," Sora said. He took out her Pokéball. "You should rest up for a while." Bayleef flows back inside of her Pokéball.
"I knew you could do it, Machoke!" The young woman cheered.
"Machoke, Macho!" Machoke also cheered. She calls back her Machoke. "Looks like I finally took down one of yours."
"That wasn't bad. Next round decides winner," Sora stated. The young woman grinned.
"How right you are," the young woman agreed. She took out another Pokéball. "Your turn, Politoed!" She threw the Pokéball and it let out a Politoed this Politoed has smaller pink spots on its cheeks. Sora took out another Pokéball and threw it.
"It's your turn now, Kabuto!" Sora said. The Pokéball opens and Kabuto stands on his feet. The young woman was pretty amazed to see a Kabuto.
"Whoa! A prehistoric Pokémon! Never battled one of those before!" The young woman said.
"Not surprised. Now you have the pleasure of battling one," Sora said.
"Don't take that laying down! Bubble Beam!" The young woman ordered. Politoed fired Bubble Beam to hit Kabuto.
"You use Bubble Beam too!" Sora ordered.
"And it'll be a pleasure to beat it! Politoed! Start up with your Bubble Beam!" The young woman ordered. The frog Pokémon fired Bubble Beam at Kabuto.
"Dodge it!" Sora called out. Kabuto jumped out of the way before the attack could land a hit. "Now use Mud Shot!" Kabuto forms a ball of mud and throws it right at Politoed.
"Dodge it, Politoed!" The young woman ordered. Politoed hopped out of the way before the ball of mud could hit Politoed. Kabuto kept firing Mud Shot until the attack landed a hit.
"Don't take that laying down! Bubble Beam!" The young woman ordered. Politoed fired Bubble Beam to hit Kabuto.
"You fire Bubble Beam too!" Sora ordered. Both Pokémon fired Bubble Beam and the two attacks collided with each other.
Back to Isabelle and Miss Michelle, they were amazed by how the two Pokémon managed to keep up the attacks. Isabelle has particular interest in Sora; interested that he's very skillful and the fact he has an extinct Pokémon.
"He's no ordinary Pokémon trainer," Isabelle said. "Just who is he?"
"Cease fire and move in with Ice Punch!" The young woman ordered. Politoed jumped and stopped using Bubble Beam and dove down to land an Ice Punch. Kabuto stops using Bubble Beam as well.
"Jump and use Scratch!" Sora ordered. Both Pokémon threw an attack to one another. Only one of them actually landed a hit and there was no telling which one did hit. It turns out to be Politoed and it fell to the ground beaten.
"No way! I lost to some kid?!" The young woman exclaimed.
"Way to go, Sora!" Kairi cheered for her boyfriend. She gave Sora a kiss on the cheek, making him blush. The Alolan nine all smiled warmly at the sight.
Over to Isabelle and Miss Michelle, she smirks after witnessing an intense battle from Sora and his opponent.
"That kid is good. It's not everyday that a Pokémon trainer like him comes around," Isabelle said. She snickered wickedly.
As the group continued on with their journey, they come across the nearby town and they found that the place is totally deserted.
"Strange," Illima said. "This town should be overflowing with people and there is nobdy here."
"None of the shops and restaurants are opened," Sophocles groaned. "I'm starting to get very hungry."
"Me too," Mina said.
"You don't think it might be an official holiday, do you?" Mallow asked. Illima checked the guidebook to make sure.
"I am not seeing anything about any holiday in the town. But, it is a tad unusual," Illima said.
"It is the fastest way to get to Olivine City, isn't it?" Sora asked.
"Pika, Pika," Pikachu said.
"It should be. I'm not seeing any other way around it," Illima stated.
"I guess we no choice but to go through the town," Sora decided.
Kairi and the Alolan nine all agreed it is the only way to get to Olivine City pretty quick and they needed to get there pretty soon. They kept going and wondered about how the town ended up in such a state. Some Krabby were peeking through the windows, watching the kids and Pokémon walking through.
Another Krabby runs by an alley; Pikachu and the Pichu's ears all perk up hearing something.
"Pikachu?" Pikachu questioned. Sora stops for a moment.
"What's wrong, Pikachu? Did you hear something?" Sora asked.
"Pikachu, Pika, Pika," Pikachu said.
Sora, Kairi, and the Alolan nine all looked around and they didn't see anything.
"I don't see anything," Sora said.
"Don't you think maybe we might being watched?" Kiawe asked.
"I have that exact same feeling," Acerola said. The group all looked around and they heard something come by.
"I think I saw something move over there!" Lana said. She pointed to a mailbox.
"I think one of those trash cans moved too," Sophocles said.
"What is going on here?" Hapu asked.
"I don't know, but I think we we should keep moving," Sora said.
"Right. I don't think whatever is lurking around here wants us to be here," Illima agreed.
Not needing a second option, the group moved forward, something unexpected happened. A ball of mud is fired at them. The group stopped in their tracks when that happened.
"Where did that mud come from?" Kairi asked.
"And you're asking me, why?" Sora questioned.
Without warning, a barrage of bubbles are fired right at the group. They all scream upon being pelted by the bubbles.
"Is this Bubble Beam?!" Mallow exclaimed.
"Nothing is gonna get in the way!" Sora said having enough. He took out Bayleef's Pokéball and he threw it. "Go Bayleef!" The Pokéball opens and lets out Bayleef. "Bayleef! Razor Leaf on where those bubbles are coming from!" Sora ordered. Bayleef fired her Razor Leaf and the attack forces out the source of the attack. A bunch of Krabby come out of hiding and began to retreat. "What do you know? It was just some Krabby."
"That explains the mud and bubbles. Krabby were using Mud Shot and Bubble Beam. I don't think Krabby were this hostile," Lillie said. She stroked her chin.
"Yeah. I always thought Krabby only attack when they're provoked," Lana said.
"I think they were provoked when they attacked us," Kairi said.
"I agree. I don't understand why they're so angry. They don't normally accupy urban areas," Illima said.
"But, why are they here? Isn't there a lake or pond they normally hang at?" Kiawe asked.
"There should be. That is according to the guidebook," Illima said. He checked it to make sure. "And the lake is known as Lake Crab Claw."
"We can't stay here. We should keep moving before anymore Krabby gives more of an unwelcoming committee," Sora said.
"I'm with him. Who knows what else could happen?" Sophocles said.
With that settled, the group continued onwards to Olivine City, but it turns out that more Krabby are watching them. As they kept moving, they soon became encountered by some more Krabby. Many of them started to attack the group with their pincers.
"OUCH!" Hapu yelled.
"CUT THAT OUT!" Mallow also yelled.
The rest of the group shouted out in pain as they were being pinced by the Krabby. They started to run the opposite way with the crab Pokémon pursuing them. It didn't take them long before they became trapped by a brick wall.
"This is great! We can't get through!" Sora said.
"And we can't go back either!" Lillie said cried. They were trapped between a wall and claws.
"This isn't how I pictured this," Mina said. Sora held Kairi in his arms and she started shaking. Soon after an Abra appears out of nowhere.
"Abra?!" The group asked.
"Pika?" Pikachu questioned.
"Toge?" Togepi chirped.
"Chu," The Pichu also chirped.
Abra teleports the group away before the crab Pokémon could reach them. They looked around and gave up looking for them since they figured that the Krabby proved their point.
In a small appartment over in the next town, Miss Michelle was happily enjoying some tea when Abra teleports right in.
"Oh! Hello Abra. Where have you been?" Miss Michelle asked. The group teleports above the woman and they all fell on top of here with Pikachu and the baby Pokémon on top.
"Say Pikachu, you think you can get off my back?" Sora asked.
"I don't want to be rude, but I would appreciate that you don't dogpile on me," Miss Michelle said. After a few minutes, they got the introductions out of the way and they explained on how they ended up in such a situation. "I see. You were just on your way to Olivine City and then you were encountered by some Krabby."
"Yeah, but the thing is, we don't know why those Krabby just attacked us and everything," Sora stated.
"I'm afraid that I don't know either, because it only just happened very recently. The people in that town weren't bothered by them at first, but then things started to escalate when more began showing up. The Krabby started to attack the townspeople and they all cleared out. Not too long after that, they claimed the entire town as their territory," Miss Michelle said.
"Anyway, thanks for sending your Abra over to help us out like that," Lillie said.
"You don't need to thank me, Lillie. Because I didn't send Abra to help you. Also, this Abra isn't even mine. It is a wild Abra. Naturally, he just sensed the danger you were in and came to your aid," Miss Michelle explained.
"If Abra's not yours and he's a wild Pokémon, then why is he here?" Kiawe asked.
"I think Abra just likes it here. I do enjoy his company, so I decided to let Abra stay as long as he wanted," Miss Michelle.
"Abra."
The Psi Pokémon teleports again and sits right next to Kairi. She turns to him and she saw him blushing as it looked.
"I think Abra has a crush on you, Kairi," Miss Michelle said. That made Sora facepalm.
"This is what I need: a Pokémon version of Brock," Sora said in his thoughts.
"Lake Crab Claw is just outside the town we're in and the one we were in before. This town dosen't have any Krabby here too, right?" Kiawe asked.
"Fortunately no. The Krabby only made it there because it is closer to the lake they live in; that is until now," Miss Michelle said.
"Any idea on why they left the lake in the first place?" Mallow asked.
"I was thinking the same thing. Krabby do live near water since their Water Type Pokémon," Lillie said.
"I wish I did. Some of the townspeople have cleared out and came here while others went elsewhere," Miss Michelle explained.
"Why haven't anyone done anything about it?" Hapu asked.
"Because of the Stantler living in the forest. The Stantler have been living there for ten years and no one could go in without being affected by the illusions they create," Miss Michelle said.
Sora, Kairi, and the Alolan nine all remembered that very well. Also since Illima's Stantler only did that all because he was frightened.
"That would make loads of sense since Stantler don't trust human beings all too much," Mallow said.
Just then, a doorbell rang and Miss Michelle stood up and went to answer the door.
"Coming!" Miss Michelle called out. She opened the door and she saw Isabelle and the three other teens from before. "Oh, hello everyone. What brings you all here?"
"We came to talk about the Krabby situation," the boy with the glasses said.
The group all eyed each other and knew very much that it was definitely serious.
Miss Michelle sighed, "I know we had talked about it, but I kept telling you that it's too dangerous because of the Stantler."
"We know we're asking too much, but we can't sit on our butts and not do anything about it. Also, I wanna go there again," the boy with the messy blonde hair said.
"Yeah, me too," the girl with the red long hair said.
"I think we all do," the girl with the brown hair said. The boy with the short black hair noticed the group inside.
"Hey, you have company in there?" The boy with short black hair asked. Miss Michelle turns around and she remembered the kids that teleported into her apartment.
"Oh yes. These kids were teleported here by Abra. He sensed the danger they were in," Miss Michelle said. The boy with the messy blonde hair came in and pats the psi Pokémon on the back.
"Way to go, Abbie! You always know when something is going to happen!" The blonde boy said grinning stupidly. Abra's eyes glows red and threw him out the door. The other teens managed to catch him before he fell over.
"I told you not to call Abra that! You know that he hates being called 'Abbie!'" The girl with the brown hair exclaimed.
Sora looked at the Psychic Type Pokémon and knew for certain that he shouldn't call that name to Abra, unless he wants to tossed out like he did.
"And Abra's Psychic attack is nothing to sneeze at," the boy with the glasses added. Isabelle walked inside along the other teens and she took an interesting look at him.
"Um, what?" Sora asked.
"I know you. I saw your battle from earlier," Isabelle said. Sora blinked twice as did Kairi, the Pokémon and the Alolan nine. "You're the one with the Bayleef, Croconaw, Quilava, and Kabuto." She snickered.
"A Kabuto? Not possible. Those have been extinct for millions of years," the boy with the short black hair said.
"You were watching that battle?" Sora asked.
"You couldn't see me, but I could see you," Isabelle told him. "And I know who you are too. You're Sora Ketchum. You're that Pokémon trainer from Kanto who won the Indigo Plateau Pokémon League." The rest of the teens went up to the group.
"This is the kid? He doesn't look like that to me," the boy with the short black hair said.
"Yeah, he's just a puny little shrimp. And he has hair just like a porcupine," the boy with the messy blonde hair said.
"Well, you have hair that looks like you slept in a rubbish heap!" Sora countered. The blonde got flustered by that remark while the boy with the glasses laughed.
"I always thought he looked like he dunked his head in the toilet," the boy with the glasses laughed. "And I can still smell it."
Everyone all laughed at that statement.
"Anyway, yeah. I am Sora Ketchum," he said.
"I'm Kairi; I'm actually his girlfriend," Kairi admitted.
"My name is Lillie."
"I am Illima."
"I'm Mallow."
"My name is Kiawe."
"I'm Lana."
"The name's Sophocles."
"I'm Acerola."
"Mina."
"And the name's Hapu."
"Good to meet you guys. I'm Caleb," the boy with the glasses introduced himself.
"My name is Kelly," the girl with the brown hair said.
"I'm Isabelle," she introduced.
"My name is Mikey and this is my girlfriend Katie," the messy blonde boy introduced.
"And I'm Montague; Monty for short," the boy with the black hair introduced.
"Anyway, are you guys heading for the lake?" Sora asked.
"Yeah! All those Krabby were becoming a problem for everyone there and we wanna do something about it," Kelly said.
"We would call it a good thing they didn't come here since it's too far from the lake," Montague said.
"I wonder what made the Krabby wanna go there in the first place?" Kairi asked.
"I think we should find out by heading to the lake ourselves," Sora said.
"That's a good idea. But, what about all the Stantler in the forest?" Lana asked.
"That's a bridge we will have to cross when we get to it," Sora stated. He turned to Illima. "Besides, Illima here has a Stantler of his own." The Normal Type Pokémon trainer nodded and stroked his chin.
"Yes. My Stantler won't be seen as a possible threat, so we might be able to pass through; I hope," Illima said.
"But, you're going to need our help since we know the way," Caleb said.
"He's right, Sora. We might end up getting lost and back in the Krabby infested town again," Acerola agreed.
"Then, let's get started," Sora stated. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Togepi, the Pichu, and the Alolan nine are all joined by Caleb, Kelly, Mikey, Katie, Isabelle, Montague, Miss Michelle, and Abra.
They reached the forest and they stopped when they realized they were close to the territory of the Stantler.
"This is the place I told you about," Miss Michelle said.
"It isn't odd to find any Stantler in the woods," Acerola said. Hapu sighed.
"I wouldn't have a problem with Stantler if the one Illima didn't have use his power of illusion on us," Hapu said rembering that one time.
"Something like that happened before?" Kelly asked.
"The Stantler Illima has was a baby that got separated from his family all because of a Pokémon hunter," Kairi explained. "He had his Sneasel and Weavile to attack Stantler, making him afraid of people."
"Us and some friends that were in the same place as us at the time," Kiawe said.
"What kind of illusion did that Stantler create for you and your friends?" Katie asked.
"A whole herd of Stantler," Sophocles said. He shudders at the memory. "Made me think they were real."
"We all thought they were real, until Illima figured that they weren't real at all," Mina said.
"I knew he was frightened when I first made eye contact with him," Illima said. "I didn't know if he had a mother or father, but I decided to adopt Stantler and have him as my own Pokémon."
"That was very noble of you, Illima," Katie said.
"What about that hunter? Did you ever get him?" Isabelle asked.
"We did. That hunter got what he deserved all thanks to Kairi's Togepi, and Mina's Clefairy," Mallow said.
"And now for the Pokémon in question," Illima said. He took out a Pokéball and tossed it in the air. Stantler is let out. "Stantler, we're going to need your help getting through the woods." Stantler nodded. The caribou Pokémon led the group through the woods keeping their eyes open for the wild Stantler. Several Stantler did poke their heads out of the shrubs, but Illima's Stantler stepped in and told them that their no threat.
Some of the Stantler weren't going to go for it, but he did win them over as best as he could. The group managed to get through without a problem, so far.
"Well, that went well," Sophocles said. "What's next?"
"The lake," Caleb told him. "We're almost there."
"That's good to know," Lillie said. The group did make it to the lake and they found that it was peaceful at the most part; there was just one little element that was a tad off. Sora took in a whiff.
"Does anyone else smell that?" Sora said holding his nose. Everyone else took a whiff and all held their noses.
"Whew! I sure as hell do," Mikey said.
"You don't think that all those Krabby made it all the way towards the town all because of the smell, do you?" Mallow asked.
"I know I would want to get away from it too, Mallow," Acerola said.
"Same here. But, what is causing it, is what I wanna know," Hapu said.
Hapu got her answer when a whole bunch of Grimer came out of the lake and attacked the group.
"GRIMER!" The group exclaimed.
"So that's it! Those Grimer are the reason why all those Krabby up and left this lake! Those Grimer just came and stole it just to pollute it!" Sora said.
"I was thinking the same thing!" Miss Michelle said. "I just don't know how and when they got here, because there aren't any factories and power plants around here for miles."
"How about we just clear them out!" Kiawe suggested.
"Now you're talking!" Mikey agreed.
Sora, Kairi, and the Alolan nine had sent out Kabuto, Omanyte, Smeargle, Magearna, Weepinbell, Marowak, Poliwhirl, Voltorb, Mismagius, Clefairy, and Mudsdale to deal with the Grimer. Miss Michelle and the teens except for Isabelle were surprised to see Sora and Kairi both had prehistoric Pokémon. Not only that, they were also amazed to see Magearna as well.
"Kabuto/Omanyte! Bubble Beam!" Sora and Kairi ordered. The prehistoric Pokémon fired Bubble Beam right on the sludgy Pokémon, but more started to show up.
"Magearna! Fleur Cannon!" Lillie ordered. Magearna fired its signature attack on the Grimer, but they weren't going to back off.
"Smeargle! Flamethrower!" Illima ordered.
"Weepibell! Razor Leaf!" Mallow ordered.
"Marowak! Flame Wheel!" Kiawe ordered.
"Poliwhirl! Water Pulse!" Lana ordered.
"Voltorb! Spark!" Sophocles ordered.
"Mismagius! Mystical Fire!" Acerola ordered.
"Clefairy! Meteor Mash!" Mina ordered.
"Mudsdale! Mega Kick!" Hapu ordered.
Smeargle fired Flamethrower right at the Grimer, burning them up. Weepinbell fired Razor Leaf and the leaves all strike the Grimer. Marowak taps his head with his bone three times and forms a ball of green fire and rolls into the Grimer. Poliwhirl forms a huge ball of water and hurls it right towards the sludge Pokémon. Yellow sparks of electricity surround Voltorb's body before shocking the Grimer. Mismagius sends Mystical Fire at the Grimer, burning them like before. Clefairy lands a punch attack on the poisonous Pokémon sending them back into several others. Mudsdale kicks the Grimer hard and they all went flying.
No matter how many were taken down, more kept coming, and they were very angry. Caleb, Miss Michelle, and the rest decided to join in. They each took out out one Pokéball to battle.
"Head in there, Quagsire!" Caleb called out. He threw his Pokéball and lets out a slightly small Quagsire.
"Join in Vileplume!" Miss Michelle said, throwing her Pokéball. Stars swirls around Vileplume upon entry. Vileplume is green and the flower petals were all orange. This is a female Vileplume.
"Jolteon! Make sparks fly!" Mikey shouted as he threw his Pokéball. His Jolteon has messy fur matching its trainer.
"Go in, Jynx!" Kelly shouted throwing her Pokéball. Her Jynx happens to be holding a parasol in her right hand. And her hair is tied in braids.
"Jynx!" Her Jynx shouted upon entry.
"Join the fight, Geodude!" Montague shouted, throwing his Pokéball. His Geodude is wearing a black top hat and a black bow tie. It has a flower on the right side of its body.
"Go Vaporeon!" Katie shouted as she threw her Pokéball. Her Vaporeon is wearing several ribbons on her fins.
"Rhyhorn! Go in!" Isabelle shouted. Her Pokéball lets out a female Rhyhorn, due to the small horn.
"Quagsire! Mud Slap!" Caleb ordered.
"Moonblast, Vileplume!" Miss Michelle ordered.
"Jynx! Blizzard!" Kelly ordered.
"Jolteon! Wild Charge!" Mikey ordered.
"Vaporeon! Aurora Beam!" Katie ordered.
"Geodude! Superpower!" Montague ordered.
"Rhyhorn! Horn Drill!" Isabelle ordered.
Quagsire whipped up some mud and hurls it at the Grimer as Vileplume forms pink energy from the top of the flower on her head and sends it at the Grimer. Jynx fires a fearsome blizzard from her mouth as Jolteon charges towards the sludge Pokémon with sparks coming out of its body. Vaporeon fires a beam of aurora from its mouth hitting them. Geodude flexes its muscles and its body gives off a light blue aura. Geodude threw its fists right at the sludge Pokémon. Rhyhorn's horn spun like a drill and charged right at the Grimer hitting several of them.
All of the Pokémon managed to to overcome the Grimer, but some Muk started to show up as well.
"You've got to be kidding me! Muk too?!" Kiawe exclaimed.
"We shouldn't be surprised to see those here since Grimer do evolve into Muk!" Lillie said.
All the Muk fired a Sludge Wave attack and the attacks all strike the opposing Pokémon. They ended up being covered in sludge. Omanyte and Kabuto stood back up and got ready for more battle.
"We can take them!" Sora said.
"You're right, Sora! Let's do this!" Kairi added.
"Ancient Power!" Sora and Kairi ordered Both prehistoric Pokémon fired their rock attacks right at the large sludy Pokémon and they all dodge it and one of them moves towards them and lands a Body Slam attack on them. Underneath, both have been firing Bubble Beam, sending it back. A few more Muk grabbed both Kabuto and Omanyte and gave them a toss into each other.
"Kabuto!" Sora called out.
"Omanyte!" Kairi gasped.
Abra heard Kairi's voice and saw how worried she was for her Pokémon. Kabuto and Omanyte heard their trainer's voices and started to evolve. Kabuto was now a Kabutops and Omanyte was now an Omastar.
"They evolved!" Sora and Kairi proclaimed.
"How about we try this again?" Sora suggested.
"Right behind you, Sora!" Kairi agreed.
"Kabutops! Slash!" Sora ordered.
"Omastar! Spike Cannon!" Kairi ordered.
Kabuto swung his psyche-like arms on one of the Muk and Omastar fired spike-like projectiles from hus spiny shell hitting another one. The Muk weren't going to take that laying down so they fought back. Some of the Grimer evolved into Muk and overwhelmed the newly evolved Pokémon.
"Not again!" Sora exclaimed.
"Omastar!" Kairi gasped. One of the Muk fired a Sludge Bomb and it was heading right towards Kairi.
"KAIRI!" Sora gasped. She froze in place watching it coming right at her. Abra wasn't going to let Kairi get hurt, so he used his telekinesis to stop the sludge and send it back to its owner. Abra teleported right in front of the Muk.
"Abra?" Kairi asked. Abra turned and nodded. "You saved me. Thank you." Kairi smiled gratefully. That melted Abra's heart seeing her smile. The psi Pokémon turned to the sludge Pokémon and headed right towards them. Abra threw a Mega Punch on one of the Muk and landed a Mega Kick. Abra lifted several Grimer and Muk and tossed them like he was juggling. Some of the sludge Pokémon fired sludge at the Psychic Type Pokémon, but he teleported out of the way, dropping them. Abra used Psychic to lift several rocks and pelted them with them.
Sora, Kairi, the Alolan nine, and their Pokémon were amazed by how powerful Abra is. Caleb and the orhers weren't surprised to see this since Abra can fight whenever his friends are in trouble.
Abra uses Psychic to lift all of the Grimer and Muk, but he was straining his own strength, so he teleported along with his many opponents and then telported back a second later. Abra teleported next to Kairi.
"Abra, Ab," Abra said. Kairi looked at the psi Pokémon and and smiled at him.
"Thank you for what you did, Abra. You're a pretty strong Pokémon. Any trainer would be lucky to have you," Kairi said kindly. Abra smiled and gave her a hug while blushing. Miss Michelle smiled and giggled.
"Kairi, I think Abra wants to be with you," Miss Michelle guessed. "Isn't that right, Abra?"
"Abra," Abra nodded. Kairi places Togepi down and picked Abra up.
"I guess I'm the lucky one after all. I will be happy to have you with me. After all, you are pretty cute," Kairi said. Abra's face lighted up hearing her call him cute. Abra teleported out of Kairi's arms and stood in place. Kairi took out a Pokéball and Abra pushed the button on the button and flows inside. Stars swirls around the Pokéball confirming the catch. Sora hands Kairi his Pokédex and it asked her if she wants to keep Abra or send him to Professor Oak's lab. Kairi decided to keep Abra with her in exchange for Miltank. "Welcome to our team, Abra." Kairi threw the Pokéball and lets out her newest Pokémon. "How about you help us take the Krabby home, huh?" Abra nodded, wanting to please his new trainer. Suicune suddenly appeared before the group and it astonished everyone.
"Suicune," everyone all said. Suicune leapt onto the water and it cleaned and purified the water making it safe for the Krabby again. Once the task was completed, Suicune had vanished the same way it had appeared.
Everyone set off for Krabby infested town and managed to gather all of the Krabby with all of their Pokémon. Once the Krabby were all in once place, Miss Michelle turned to Kairi.
"Won't you do the honors, Kairi?" Miss Michelle asked.
"Gladly," Kairi said. She turned to Abra. "Okay Abra. Use your Teleport to take the Krabby home." Abra obeyed and teleported along with all of the Krabby. Abra teleported back right next to Kairi. "That was very good."
Once everything was back to normal, Miss Michelle and the teens stood outside the town once infested with Krabby.
"So now that the Grimer and Muk are gone and the Krabby back home, how will it take for everyone to move back?" Sora asked.
"Probably not too long. Thank you for everything you've done," Miss Michelle thanked the group.
"We're just glad we were able to help out," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Pichu," the Spiky-eared Pichu chirped.
"Pi, Pichu, Pi," the shiny Pichu chirped.
"That's one thing. But, it won't be the same without Abra here," Isabelle said.
"I think I'm going to miss him," Katie said.
"I think we all will," Caleb said.
"Yes. But, you have to remember that Abra will be in very good hands," Miss Michelle said. She gave Abra a goodbye hug. "Goodbye Abra. We will miss you very much. And we all love you." Miss Michelle's eyes filled with tears as did the teens. Abra's eyes got all teary as well. Abra took one last look at his old friends before joining his new trainer and her friends. Kairi took him by the hand.
"You don't need to worry, Abra. They'll be okay," Kairi assured Abra. "As long as you keep them close to your heart, you won't forget them." Abra smiled happily at that. The group had finally arrived in Olivine City and the battle for Sora's next badge was just a short time away.
