Episode 163: Getting the Raboot
Couple of days had passed since Abra had accepted Kairi's relationship with Sora, meeting Will and Sora catching a Spearow. The group had continued onward towards Mahogany Town and along the way, the group had come across something, they couldn't expect to find; it was a wild Mareep, but it has purple wool and its tail is dark dark yellow striped. The Shiny Mareep was happily eating some grass and Kairi decided to have that one as well.
"Oh, she's so cute. I have got to have that one," Kairi gushed. Sora chuckled at that.
"I figured you would go for that Mareep, Kairi. So, what are you waiting for?" Sora asked. Kairi grinned at her boyfriend.
"Not much," Kairi said, taking out Raichu's Pokéball. "Go! Raichu!" Kairi tossed her Pokéball and Raichu enters the battle. The Shiny Mareep turns around and she gets startled by the sudden appearance of a Raichu. "Raichu! Thunder Punch!" Raichu lands an electrified punch on the sheep-like Pokémon and she responds by firing Signal Beam right at her opponent.
"That Mareep is firing Signal Beam!" Sophocles said.
"Raichu! Dodge and use Quick Attack!" Kairi ordered. Raichu uses his speed attack and slams into the Shiny Mareep. Mareep attacks using Electro Web.
"Dodge and move in with Seismic Toss!" Kairi ordered. Raichu grabs the Shiny Mareep and goes for a twirl in the air. Raichu gave the Shiny Pokémon a toss to the ground. Kairi was certain Mareep had to be too exhausted from battling, so she takes out a Pokéball and threw it. The Pokéball strikes Mareep and she flows inside it. The Pokéball wobbles around for a bit before stars swirls around the Pokéball confirming the catch. Sora hands Kairi his Pokédex when it starts buzzing. It askes her if she wants to keep Mareep or send it to Professor Oak's lab. Kairi decides to keep Mareep in exchange for Rockruff. Kairi was happy to have her own Mareep.
"Nice catch, Kairi," Sora praised his girlfriend.
"Thanks Sora. That means a lot coming from you," Kairi said, giving him a kiss on the lips. He kisses her back. The Alolan nine and Pikachu watches the scene sweetly, and the Pichu were blushing at the sight.
The couple broke the kiss when they heard a loud sound coming from their right. They went to investigate the sound and they saw a familiar face, it was Ceasar and with him is a rabbit-like Pokémon. It was humanoid in appearence. It a white head and red eyes. Its fur is mostly red and black, resembling a sweatsuit. It has red fur resembling a turtleneck covering its mouth and it has a headband pattern. Caesar and the rabbit Pokémon was up against a Pinsir.
"Isn't that Caesar?" Kiawe asked.
"It sure is. But, what kind of Pokémon is that?" Sora asked, taking out his Pokédex and used it to scan the rabbit-like Pokémon.
Raboot, the Rabbit Pokémon
The evolved form of Scorbunny
Type: Fire
It kicks berries right off the branches of trees and then juggles them with its feet, practicing its footwork. Its thick and fluffy fur protects it from the cold and enables it to use hotter fire moves.
"I guess Scorbunny evolved since we last saw them," Sora said.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"It looks like Caesar is in the middle of a battle," Illima said.
"Raboot! Use Quick Attack!" Caesar ordered. Raboot lands a hit on the stag beetle Pokémon with his speed attack. "Now use Mega Kick!" aboot gives Pinsir a powerful kick on the chest. "Now use Flame Charge!" Raboot charged right at Pinsir and the fire attack causes Pinsir some burns. "Now use another Mega Kick!" Raboot lands a kick on Pinsir, making it fall to the side. Caesar takes out a Pokéball and tosses it right at Pinsir and it flows inside it. The Pokéball wobbles around for a bit, until stars swirls around the Pokéball confirming the catch. "Way to go, Raboot! I knew you could do it!"
"Raboot!" Raboot said happily. He saw the familiar group and points to them. "Boot! Rab, Raboot!"
"What is it, Raboot?" Caesar asked. His face lit up when he saw the group. "Sora! Kairi! Lillie! Illima! Mallow! Lana! Sophocles! Acerola! Mina! Hapu! I knew I was gonna see you again sooner or later. And it looks like you're doing very well for yourselves!"
"Right back at you, Caesar!" Sora said hi-fiving him. "And for Scorbunny evolving." Caesar laughed.
"Glad you noticed," Caesar said.
"When did Scorbunny evolve?" Lana asked.
"Just last week. I gotta say, it was a tough battle he was in," Caesar said.
"How are Minerva and Chumley doing?" Kairi asked.
"They're doing good. We went our seperate ways after the Whirl Cup," Caesar said.
"What brings you out here?" Hapu asked.
"Just came here for some training, and that was when that Pinsir had shown up. It must have thought I was muscling in on its turf. But, I sure taught it a lesson when I caught it," Caesar explained.
"We kinda caught a glimpse of it," Sora said. Caesar laughed.
"Didn't know I had an audiece. Hope that you enjoyed the show," Caesar said. "What about you? What are you up to?"
"We're on our way to Mahogany Town for Sora to get to his next Gym battle," Kiawe said.
"Not surprising to hear it," Caesar said. Caesar and Raboot joined the group for a bit to catch up with them and hear what happned after the Whirl Cup. They explained about meeting up with Hau and how Kairi battled him and won. "Get out! You know Hau?"
"How do you know Hau?" Mallow asked.
"I battled him and I lost. Gotta say, he was pretty tough. His Decidueye creamed Scorbunny and he had the advantage over it, since being a Fire Type Pokémon," Caesar said.
"Really? I battled him before and he almost had me," Sora said.
"Gotta admit, those two came pretty close," Lillie said.
"I'm sure it was," Caesar said. He looked over to Sora with a smile. "Say Sora. I was wondering if you would like to have a battle with me. We'll make it three-on-three. What do you say?"
"Okay, I'm game," Sora said, accepting the challenge.
"Don't expect the results to be same as the last time," Caesar warned him.
"Don't worry. I don't expect it," Sora said.
Both trainers got into positin for their battle. Both trainers has gotten a Pokéball ready to throw. Caesar threw his first.
"Go! Yamper!' Caesar shouted. The Pokéball opens and lets out a small puppy-like Pokémon that greatly resembles a corgi. It has has a brown body with yellow fluff around its neck and yellow highlights around its eyes. It has a yellow bolt shaped tail and a heart shaped pattern on its rear. Its four feet are white. Sora takes out his Pokédex and scanned the Pokémon.
Yamper, the Puppy Pokémon
Type: Electric
This Pokémon is very popular as a herding dog in the Galar region. As it runs, it generates electricity from the base of its tail. It is gluttonous in nature, because it will do any task for a treat.
"And I thought Munchlax would do things for food," Sora joked, putting his Pokédex away. Kairi's heart melted at the sight of the small dog Pokémon.
"Oh, how cute!" Kairi gushed at the sight of it.
"You got that right! I always wanted a Yamper! I want one! I want one! I want one!" Sophocles also gushed.
"Toge, Toge, Togepi," Togepi chirped.
"Okay Pineco! Go!" Sora shouted when he made his first choice. "Wanna make the first move, Caesar?"
"Thanks Sora. I would like to," Caesar answered. "Yamper! Move in with your Bite!" Yamper charged towards the pinecone-like Pokémon to land a bite.
"Pineco! Protect!" Sora ordered. Pineco forms a protective barrier and the Bite bounces right off. "Now use Bug Bite!" Pineco moves in to deliever a bite, the same way Yamper attempted.
"Yamper! Dodge!" Caesar called out. Yamper moved out of the way. "Use Thunder Fang!" Yamper moved towards Pineco with its fangs emitting lightning.
"Protect!" Sora ordered. Pineco formed a protective barrier once again and Yamper's Thunder Fang bounced off. "Rapid Spin!" Pineco spins his body around and heads right towards Yamper. Caesar wasn't gonna have it.
"Yamper! Spark!" Caesar ordered. Yamper's body becomes surrounded by yellow sparks of electricity and tackles right into Pineco. Pineco wasn't close to giving up and neither was Sora.
"Pineco! Explosion!" Sora ordered. Pineco's body glows white and builds up energy to explode. When Pineco exploded, Yamper is sent flying back to Caesar, earning a double knockout.
"Not too bad, Sora. Your Pineco's Explosion was a good way to end it," Caesar complimented. Both, he and Sora calls their fallen Pokémon back.
"Thanks Caesar. Your Yamper was pretty cool! Just be careful because my next one is a real handful!" Caesar said. He takes out another Pokéball and throws it. "Go! Farfetch'd!" Caesar's Pokéball had let out a Farfetch'd he didn't expect to see. It's darker brown and its leek is much larger.
"Is that a Farfetch'd?" Sora asked curiously. He takes out his Pokédex and he scans the Farfetch'd in front of him.
Farfetch'd Galarian Form, the Wild Duck Pokémon
Type: Fighting
The Farfetch'd of the Galar region are brave warriors, and they wield thick, tough leeks in battle. Like their Kantonian cousins, the leek doesn't just serve as their weapon, but as its main source of food.
"So, Galraian Farfetch'd are Fighting Type Pokémon, huh? And I have just the one to henadle that," Sora said, taking out a Pokéball. He threw it. "Go! Natu!" Natu flutters around upon entry.
"Sora's going with Natu. I'll give him that it's a good choice since my Farfetch'd is a Fighting Type. But, his Natu doesn't look experienced enough. Gonna have to take it out fast," Caesar said in his thoughts. He ordered, "Farfetch'd! Night Slash!" Farfetch'd's leek emits a dark aura and swings it right at the little bird Pokémon.
"Natu! Dodge and use Peck!" Sora ordered. Natu barleys dodges the Galarian Farfetch'd's attack and lands a Peck attack on the wild duck Pokémon.
"That Farfetch'd looks pretty tough," Hapu said.
"I would think tougher than the Kantonian Farfetch'd, if they have those big leeks," Kiawe said.
"You may think so, but size isn't everything," Illima said.
"Natu! Night Shade!" Sora ordered. Natu fires Night Shade and it hits the Galarian Farfetch'd in the chest. It wasn't enough enough to take it down.
"Farfetch'd! Use your Leaf Blade!" Caesar ordered. The leaves on the leek glows green and Fatfetch'd swings it around like a mace ready to strike.
"Natu! Double Team!" Sora ordered. Natu creates several images of herself, catching Farfetch'd off balance. The attack did not cease as it swings the leek down to one of them. The leek hits a duplicate as it found out. "Use Peck!" Natu and the duplicates lands a series of pecks on the Galarian Farfetch'd, and it was having a hard time to tell which was which.
"Farfetch'd! Night Slash!" Caesar ordered. Farfetch'd swings the leek as it gave off dark energy and finds the real one, landing a critical hit. "Again!" Farfetch'd lands another one, and Natu goes down on the ground. Natu barley gets back up. "Again!" Farfetch'd smacks Natu again with another crtitcal hit. Natu struggles to get back up.Caesar was surprised to see Natu was just taking a beating, but manages to get back up. Both avian Pokémon stared at each other before they went through a double evolution. "Farfetch'd?"
"Natu?" Sora asked in shock.
Kairi, Pikachu, Togepi, the Pichu, and the Alolan nine were just as amazed. Natu had evolved into a Xatu; she had two yellow stripes.
Farfetch'd had evolved into a white duck-like Pokémon still has the traits of a Farfetch'd, but the leek it holds has turned into a lance and it is holding a leafy shileld as well.
"Wha?" Sora was awestruck by not only the evolution of his own Pokémon, but he was seeing another he had never seen before. "Okay, Natu evolved into a Xatu, but what kind of Pokémon is that?" He takes out his Pokédex and used it to scan the newly evolved Pokémon.
Sirfetch'd, the Wild Duck Pokémon
The evolved form of Farfetch'd Galarian Form
Type: Fighting
Only Farfetch'd that have survived many battles can attain this evolution. After deflecting attacks with its hard leaf shield, it strikes back with its sharp leek stalk. The leek is held like a sword owned by knights in the days of old.
"Sirfetch'd, huh?" Sora said, putting his Pokédex away. "Xatu may have the upperhand, but Sirfetch'd won't be easy; but I can't help but wonder how it won't be easy. Xatu! Air Slash!" Xatu's wings glows blue and fires Air Slash right at the white duck Pokémon.
"Shield up, Sirfetch'd!" Caesar called out. Sirfetch'd raises its shield and used it to block the attack. "Now attack with Meteor Assault!" Sirfetch'd's leek glows golden-yellow and prepares to charge at Xatu. Sirfetch'd charges right towards Xatu and lowers the leek to make a devastating blow. Sora knew a pretty move when he saw one, and he was looking at one.
"Xatu! Dodge it! Quickly!" Sora shouted. Xatu expanded her wings and flew out of the way before Sirfetch'd could land a hit on the mystic Pokémon. "Now use Night Shade!" Xatu's eyes glows black and shoots Night Shade from out the eyes. Sirfetch'd blocks the attack using its shield.
"Sirfetch'd is blocking Xatu's attacks with that shield of his," Kairi said.
"You're right, Kairi," Illima agreed. "That shield must be made of thick leaves which makes it difficult for Xatu to land a hit. Sora will need to find a way around it. Also, after using Meteor Assault, Sirfetch'd won't be able to attack again right away. But, it'll cause it to stagger."
Sirfetch'd did stagger around after using Meteor Assault and that attack missed. Caesar had to think fast to bring Sora's Xatu down.
"This is getting intense. If this keeps up, Xatu is going to wipe Sirfetch'd out before he could make a comeback, even after evolving," Caesar said in his thoughts. "I need to take it down fast." Caesar spoke out loud. "Sirfetch'd! Use Night Slash!" Sirfetch'd's leek emits a dark aura to swipe at Xatu. Sora checked his Pokédex and saw Xatu had learned a new move, so he had to use it.
"Xatu! Use Psyshock!" Sora ordered. Xatu forms a purple orb of energy in one of her wings. She then fires three dark purple beams from the orb at Sirfetch'd. Sirfetch'd quickly raises the shield, but it wasn't enough to protect him, so he gets pushed back and he gets struck by the tree behind him. Sirfetch'd falls to the ground beaten. Caesar was awestruck to what he saw.
"Not bad, Sora," Caesar said, calling back his Sirfetch'd. "You're an even better trainer than I remember. How about we make the next round a battle between our partners?"
"Raboot," Raboot said, stepping forward.
"Fine with me, Ceasar," Sora said. He looked back to Pikachu and he nods to confirm it. Pikachu wanted to see how well Raboot had improved since the last time they battled as a Scorbunny. Both the mouse and rabbit Pokémon looked at each other and nodded to one another.
"I trained hard since the last time we battled, Pikachu." - Raboot subtitle.
"Let's see if it paid off, Raboot." - Pikachu said. Raboot smirked and looked at the mouse Pokémon.
"Just be sure you won't end up regretting it." - Raboot subtitle.
"Pikachu! Quick Attack!" Sora ordered. Pikachu ran across the soil.
"Raboot! You use Quick Attack too!" Caesar ordered. Raboot ran towards Pikachu and both had collided with each other. Both Pokémon were going neck-and-neck.
"Raboot definitely had improved since being a Scorbunny," Mallow said.
"Makes me wonder about Minerva and Chumley when we see them," Acerola said.
"Me too," Mina said.
"Pikachu! Electro Ball!" Sora ordered. Pikachu forms a ball of electricity and sends it right at Raboot.
"Dodge and use Flame Charge!" Caesar ordered. Raboot charged towards Pikachu surrounded by fire. Sora had an ace up his sleeve.
"Pikachu! Thunderbolt! Aim for the ground!" Sora called out. Pikachu fired Thunderbolt on the ground making some skids. Raboot trips and tumbles towards Pikachu.' Great! Now use Thunderbolt again!" Pikachu shocks the rabbit Pokémon, but Raboot just shook it off. "Your Raboot really has improved. You did a great job training him, Caesar."
"Thanks Sora. But, I'm just getting started. Raboot! Mega Kick!" Caesar ordered. Raboot swung his leg to kick Pikachu.
"Pikachu! Dodge with Quick Attack!' Sora ordered. Pikachu used his speed attack to dodge the kick. Mega Kick was a tad faster since using Flame Charge. "Now use Iron Tail!" Pikachu swung his tail and it hits Raboot on the side of the head.
"Shake it off, Raboot! Use Fire Punch!" Caesar ordered. Raboot came at Pikachu with his paw emitting fire and he landed a hit on Pikachu before he could dodge it. "Now use Flame Charge!" Raboot used Flame Charge and rams into Pikachu. As Pikachu rolled on the ground, he quickly got back on his feet, but Raboot ended up being paralyzed in the process. Caesar said in his thoughts, "Uh-oh. Raboot must have activated Pikachu's Static ability. Not only Raboot wont be able to move much."
"Okay Pikachu! Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered. Pikachu fires Thunderbolt and the attack shocks Raboot, causing heavy damage. Raboot fell to the ground. He slowly got back up and refused to throw in the towel yet, but his body gives off a red aura.
"Raboot's Blaze had activated," Kiawe said.
"That means Raboot's Fire Type attacks are gonna be stronger to use," Lillie said.
"Raboot! Fire Punch!" Caesar ordered. Raboot came at Pikachu to land a burning punch on him.
"Pikachu! Quick Attack!" Sora ordered. Pikachu ran towards the rabbit Pokémon to land a hit. Pikachu rams into Raboot before he could land a Fire Punch and he skids on the ground, leaving a scorching trail in front of him and Pikachu.
Both Pokémon were getting tired from the battle the two of them were giving each other. Pikachu and Raboot were panting heavily. Pikachu knew Raboot had improved from the fight he was putting up; better than the last time.
"Not too bad, Raboot. You really have toughen up since the last time. Gotta hand it to you, I'm very impressed." - Pikachu subtitle.
"Thanks for the compliment, Pikachu. I'm glad that I got to impress you. But, only one of us is going to win the battle here." - Raboot subtile. Pikachu smiled.
"You're right about that, Raboot. Give me what you've got!" - Pikachu subtitle.
"Those two are giving each other what they got," Sophocles said.
"It got so very exciting to watch," Lana said.
"Pikachu! Raboot! Give it everything you've got!" Mallow cheered.
Sora smiled and he was impressed on how Caesar's partner was doing a better job at battling than the last time, and he was no pushover before.
"Pikachu! Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered. Pikachu fired Thunderbolt and it headed right towards Raboot, but Caesar wasn't gonna have that.
"Raboot! Quick Attack and Mega Kick!" Caesar ordered. Raboot ran out of the way and used his speed attack and headed right at Pikachu. Raboot lands a kick on Pikachu. "Now use Fire Punch!" Raboot came right at Pikachu once again to land a burning hit.
"Pikachu! Iron Tail!" Sora ordered. Pikachu used his Iron Tail to block the attack, but both held their attacks, and not one of them was backing away.
Kairi and the Alolan nine were getting at the edge of their seats at how those two were locked in combat. Sora had to admit, he had battled some tough opponents before. He remembered how tough with Riku, Prince Wesleyan, Princess Angela, Sally, Andy, Johnny Blake, Annette, Tai, and the Gym Leaders he had challenged so far were tough and Caesar was one of the tougest he had faced. Caesar was really enjoying the battle he and Sora was battling. As they abttled, Caesar could see how Sora won the Indigo Platue Pokémon League. He even saw how a tough trainer like Sora could even beat Hau, even when it was a close match. Caesar was determined to end the match one way or the other.
"Raboot! Mega Kick!" Caesar ordered. Raboot ran towards Pikachu to land a kick on the mouse Pokémon.
"Pikachu! Quick Attack!" Sora ordered. Pikachu rammed into Raboot and both Pokémon collided with each other again. Both Pikachu and Raboot were panting heavily. They both stared at each other for a bit before Raboot was the first to fall to the ground out of exhaustion. Pikachu to the ground second. Both Sora and Caesar went to their tired partners.
"Pikachu. You okay?" Sora asked with concern.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said exhausted.
"You battled hard today, buddy. You should take it easy for the rest of the day. You earned a good rest," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said weakly. He smiled.
Caesar helps his partner up on his feet.
"You did a very good job, Raboot. You were amazing today," Caesar praised Raboot.
"Rab," Raboot said tiredly.
"Don't sweat it, buddy. You gave it your all and that's what really matters. You always do your best; and no one could ask any more from you," Caesar said. He pulls out Raboot's Pokéball. "Why don't you rest up for a while? You've earned it." Raboot flows back inside the Pokéball. He walked up to Sora to congratulate him. "That was a great battle, Sora. No surprise that you won it." Sora was caught off.
"I thought it was a draw," Sora said.
"You would think that, but Raboot was first to fall back to the ground, so that makes you the winner," Caesar said.
"I guess that's technically true. Anytime you wanna battle again, just say the word," Sora said. Caesar smiled.
"Anytime Sora," Caesar said. The group continued on their way and stopped to rest their feet and for the group to have their dinner. Kairi had made some hot ramen for everyone to enjoy. Caesar even enjoyed the ramen to his heart's delight. Raboot, Yamper, Sirfetch'd, Pinsir, a Hitmontop, and a Krabby enjoyed the Pokémon food she had made for them.
"This tastes great, Kairi," Caesar complimented.
"Thanks Caesar. I'm glad to see that you enjoy it so much," Kairi said.
"You really have a gift. And you really know how to use it," Caesar said, taking another bite. He turned and saw his Pokémon enjoy their dinner so much. "Is that good, guys?" Caesar's Pokémon all nod in response. Caesar laughed. "It has to be if you're enjoying it so much."
The group made their way to a Pokémon Center to rest for the night.
Meanwhile, just out in the woods, Team Rocket had gotten back to together just after the Spearow attack and they continued their pursuit of Sora, Kairi, and their friends. Meowth left out the part where he purposely let Pikachu go and everything, because he knew Jessie and James will only give him hell.
"It sure is darker out here than usual," James said. "There isn't any light out here; not even moonlight."
"I just wish we didn't lose our flashlights; those would be very useful to have," Meowth said.
"Meowth, you're a cat! It's a known fact that cats can see in the night! Also, how can you not remember that you're nocturnal?" Jessie hissed.
"Hey! I don't need you to remind me what I am. It's not like I tell you that you wear more makeup to make you look goofier than a Mr. Mime's face," Meowth said, making Jessie growl in anger. Meowth winced when he realized what he just said. "Oh shit." Meowth starts running for it and Jessie starts chasing after him.
"When I get my hands on you, I'll make your face so disfigured, you'll look like a modern art painting!" Jessie yelled.
"Hey, Jess! Take it easy! I was only joking! I was only joking!" Meowth said. Meowth said in his thoughts, "Maybe I should taken that spiky-haired twerp's offer. That would have saved me from the wrath of Jessie!" James sighes and he hangs his head in dispair.
Not too far, there is a group of Scyther sleeping soundly, until the sounds of yelling and screaming wakes them up and sets them off in a bad mood. The Scyther are led by a Scyther that is a different shade of green with pink legs.
"SCYTHER!" The leader shouted. The Scyther didn't waste anytime going after Team Rocket. Jessie and Meowth kept going at it when Jame suddenly hears something.
"Huh?" James asked as he took a listen. He gasped when he realizes what was coming their way. "Jessie! Meowth!" They stopped doing what they're doing when they both looked at him.
"What?" Jessie asked.
"Do you hear what I hear?" James asked scared. Jessie and Meowth both listened in to what James was going on about and they saw the group of Scyther arrive on the scene. Team Rocket got wide-eyed when they saw the angry mantis Pokémon.
"Are those Scyther?!" Jessie asked.
"And do they look mad?!" Meowth added.
Team Rocket ended up running for their lives with the Scyther chasing after them. The alpha Scytther swipes at Jessie, but just slices off her hair in half and she didn't even notice as they kept running.
They ran as fast as their feet could carry them and the pursuing Scyther saw no point in continuing the pursuit, so they decided to let them go and slash them into ribbons if they ever show up again. So, they went back to their home to get some sleep.
On the very next morning, the group steps outside of the Pokémon Center and after their breakfast.
"It was great seeing you again. And I'm hoping that I get to see you again soon," Caesar said.
"You too, Caesar," Sora said.
"Say hi to Minerva and Chumley when you see them for us," Kairi said.
"I will. Just be sure that you do the same when you see them when I don't," Caesar said.
Sora, Kairi, Alolan nine, and the Pokémon continued on their way to Mahogany Town for his next Gym battle But, on the way, the group came across a wild Larvitar. This Larvitar was currently looking for some food to eat. According to Kairi, this one is a male. Sora had to make his plan to catch this Larvitar. He selected Meganium's Pokéball to deal with this Rock Type Pokémon.
"Go! Meganium!" Sora shouted when he threw his Pokéball. Meganium came right out and Larvitar turns to see the larger Pokémon right in front of it. "Meganium! Body Slam!" Meganim stands on her hind legs and slams onto Larvitar, but he runs out of the way, but got caught in the blow. Larvitar with a Rock Slide. "Meganium! Vine Whip!" Meganium blocked the rocks as fast as a whip (no pun intened with Vine Whip) and blocks the rocks and sends them back. Larvitar moves out of the way and lands a bite on Meganium's leg. Meganium yelped in pain.
"Larvitar just came at Meganium with Crunch!" Hapu said.
"Meganium! Shake Larvitar off and fire Petal Blizzard!" Sora ordered. Meganium shakes her leg until Larvitar loses his grip and then Meganium fires Petal Blizzard onto Larvitar. He gets pelted by the flower petals. Larvitar wasn't going down that easily, so he fights back using Dark Pulse. The attack strikes Maganium hard, but that didn't take her down that easily either. "Meganium! One more Body Slam!" Meganium slams her body down to Larvitar. He tried to get away, but she came too fast and lands right on the rock skin Pokémon. Meganium gets off of him and Larvitar was trying to get back up, but fell back to the ground after taking that hit from Petal Blizzard. Sora took out a Pokéball and threw it right at Larvitar. When the Pokéball strikes Larvitar, he flows inside and it wobbles around for a bit. Stars swirls around the Pokéball confirming the catch. Sora's Pokédex starts buzzing asking him if he wants to keep Larvitar or send him to Professor Oak's lab. Sora chose to keep Larvitar in exchange for Pineco. "I got myself a Larvitar.
"Once again, you are so lucky, Sora. You got yourself such a cool Pokémon," Hapu said.
"Larvitar will make a good addition to the team just as long he has a pretty good trainer to take care of him," Kairi said. Sora blushes as he knew who she was talking about.
"I would say the same for you, Kairi," Sora said. He gave his girlfriend a kiss on the lips and she kisses him right back. The Alolan nine could never get enough of their love. They broke the kiss and they continued onward with their journey.
Over to Team Rocket, they did manage to get away from the angry Scyther since they woke them up from their peaceful slumber. They panted having to give them the slip and from the running they did all night.
"For a moment there, my life was flashing right before my eye; and it was just before we realized they aren't chasing us anymore," Meowth said.
"The same as mine, Meowth," James said. He pauses when he thought of it. "It got pretty boring after ten seconds."
"At least the worse of it is over," Jessie said. James and Meowth both looked at her and they quickly noticed something was a tad off. She saw them staring at them. "What? I don't have something on my fae, do I?"
"Um..." James started.
"You didn't make a stop at a barbershop, did you?" Meowth asked, trying to hide the obvious.
"Why would you ask a question like that?" Jessie snarled.
"Because... that is... ummm..." Meowth stammered.
"Just don't look back," James said.
"What are you going on about? And what do you mean don't look back?" Jessie asked. She puts her hands on the back of her head, and she noticed something was off. She placed her hands on her long hair and she noticed what was missing. She saw that her hair was cut in half. Jessie screams in shock and horror. "My hair! My hair! My beautiful and fabulous hair!" Jessie cried in shock to half her hair being missing.
"At least she did't look back," Meowth said.
"Doesn't matter, because she was gonna find out one way or the other," James said. Jessie growls in anger.
"Those disgusting bugs will pay for this! Let's find those Scyther and capture everyone of them!" Jessie vowed revenge. James saw two things wrong with that, but he knew the risk of being beaten senseless by Jessie, but in the situation he was in, he didn't care what was coming.
"There are two things I see wrong with your plan Jessie. One: I don't see how we're gonna be able to cath anything, because we can't get any equipment or any mechas because of our tripled debt; we can't even afford the gum under the seats back at HQ. And second: all those Scyther will just attack us again when we set foot back to their territory, wherever that is," James stated.
"Details," Jessie scoffed. "We'll just find a bank and rob the place blind."
"And where do you think where we're gonna start looking for a bank since we don't even have the slightest clue where to start looking for a bank? And that's a third thing of what James should have pointed out," Meowth said. Jessie growls in irritation.
"CAN'T YOU TWO JUST ONCE THINK ON THE FREAKING POSITIVE?!" Jessie yelled.
"I guess we have no choice, but to find some work again to pay our debts yet again," James groaned.
"And it looks like we'll be doing some double-time," Meowth said.
Jessie was truly alone, since she felt that her revenge plan is compromised by her complaining colleague's, their triple debt, and having to earn some money while being utterly and hopelessly lost. Jessie hung her head in defeat as did James and Meowth. And that's we'll leave the story for now.
