Episode 205: Tree's A Crowd

On the very same morning, Sora, Kairi, and Pikachu have begun to make their way through the Petalburg Forest in order to make it to Rustboro City. Sora looks into his PokéNav to make sure they are going the right way.

"Okay, we keep going that way and we should be okay," Sora said.

"That's what you said half an hour ago, Sora," Kairi groaned. "I think we're lost." Sora sighed.

"It was so much easier when Illima was around. He would point us in the right direction," Sora said.

"Pika," Pikachu said.

"You're right. He would have," Kairi agreed. "But even when he and the others were with us, we got lost once in a while, but we always found our way there." Sora knew Kairi was right about that and they both shared such fond memories.

"We can take a break if you want, Kairi," Sora offered. Kairi smiled.

"Thanks, but we can take a break a little later," Kairi said.

"Okay. If you can keep going, I can too," Sora said as he held out his hand. "But we should hold hands just so we don't get lost." Kairi takes his hand into hers.

"Gladly," Kairi said as she took his hand.

Just as the couple continued to keep going, they hear some rustling up in the trees above them. Pikachu's ears perk up.

"Pika!" Pikachu said.

"I hear it too, buddy," Sora said. They look up in the trees and sees a Treecko running among the treetops. "Treecko!"

"There's more of them!" Kairi said.

"Treecko."

"Treecko."

"Treecko."

A whole bunch of Treecko are running among the trees when they all stopped and looked at Sora, Kairi, and Pikachu.

"I think those Treecko must live here," Kairi said.

"I think you're right," Sora said, taking out his Pokédex and scanned the Treecko.

Treecko, the Wood Gecko Pokémon

Type: Grass

Treecko has small hooks on the bottom of its feet that enable it to scale vertical walls. This Pokémon attacks by slamming foes with its thick tail. Since Treecko build their nests in trees, it's said the trees will live a very long life.

"Another starter of the Hoenn region found in the wild," Sora said.

"Look at how cute they are," Kairi gushed at them. There was one Treecko that has a twig in its mouth, like a bacnho (a character type that was common in the 1960's and early 1970's). This Treecko came and attacked the couple by firing seeds at them.

"Hey!" Sora shouted. "You can't do that!"

"Treecko," the Treecko taunted.

They ran after the wild Treecko as it taunts them greatly.

"Hey! Come back here!" Sora shouted. He trips on a large tree branch and he fell down the hill.

"Sora!" Kairi shouted with worry and came after him.

"Pika!" Pikachu said, following her. Sora tumbles down the tree and lands in the bushes near the tree.

"Ouch. That is really a three for style on that landing," Sora said.

"Sora!" Kairi called out to her boyfriend. She and Pikachu reached him. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Kairi," Sora said. He stood up and saw something amazing. It was a huge tree. It was so incredible. "Whao."

"What?" Kairi asked before she saw what Sora was looking at. "Oh."

"That is got to be the biggest tree I have ever seen," Sora said.

"Pika," Pikachu said.

"It is. And look at it. The tree looks like it's dying," Kairi said.

"You're right," Sora said. Just then a twig is seen coming straight at the couple and they yelped when it darts the ground. They looked up to see the Treecko from before. "You! You're that troublemaker from before!"

"Treecko, Tree," Treecko taunted.

"He's making fun of us!" Kairi said.

"He's not gonna get away with it," Sora said, taking out a Pokéball. "Go! Torchic!" The Pokéball opens and Torchic scratches the soil with his talons. "Torchic! Move in with Peck!" Torchic ran towards Treecko to peck him, but Treecko smacks Torchic with his leafy tail.

"Pika!" Pikachu gasped.

"No! Torchic!" Kairi gasped.

"Use Ember!" Sora ordered. Torchic fires Ember at the wood gecko Pokémon only to miss. Treecko lands another smack with his large tail. Torchic had fallen on the ground beaten. "That Treecko is way tougher than I thought."

Just then, a whole bunch of Treecko show up to the one Treecko with the twig.

Over to Team Rocket, the are in the forest as well.

"There isn't any signs of Team Magma or Team Aqua anywhere," James said.

"We have been here in the Hoenn region for weeks and so far, we have found nothing. And so far, Matori and that Napolean have been riding our asses about our lack of progress," Jessie groaned.

"That's the luck we always get. If only there was someway we could use the distraction and have Pikachu to swipe from the twerps. I just wish they're really with us right now," Meowth said. Jessie and James were shocked to see Sora and Kairi down below them.

"Look! It's them!" James exclaimed.

"Wow! I just got my wish!" Meowth said.

"Hurry, Geppetto! Wish for something else!" Jessie said.

"Like what?" Meowth asked.

"How about a feast fit enough for a queen! Jewels! Fancy cars! Anything!" Jessie told him.

"Hey, do I look like a genie to you? It's not like I can make stuff appear just by snapping my fingers; if I had fingers!" Meowth barked at her.

"Forget about the wishes. Haven't you noticed how there are now two instead of eleven?" James asked. Jessie and Meowth caught on to what James was talking about.

"You're right, Jimmy. The number of twerps sure has decreased," Meowth said.

"And the number of Pokémon has decreased with them. Those other twerps had such lovely gems among them," Jessie said.

"And look, there's more," James said.

"What are those?" Jessie asked.

"I do believe those are Treecko. If I remember correctly, Treecko is the Grass Type starter of the Hoenn region," James said.

"Maybe we can send those to the boss along with Pikachu as a present," Jessie said.

"And keep tabs on Team Magma and Team Aqua while we're at it," James added.

"Yeah!" Team Rocket cheered. Wobbufett pops out of his Pokéball once again.

"Wobbufett!" Wobbufett said.

Back to Sora, Kairi, and Pikachu, Sora has called back Torchic to rest up.

"Don't sweat it, Torchic, you've put up a great fight," Sora said. "Any idea why all these Treecko are doing here?"

"No, but I think there could be a dispute going on," Kairi said.

"Pikachu," Pikachu said.

The elder of the Treecko walks up to the Treecko with the twig.

"Please, you need to give it up. The tree is dead." - Elder Treecko subtitle.

"No way!" - Bancho Treecko subtitle.

"Your desire to save the tree is appreciated, but there are things you cannot change. You cannot stop a tree from losing all the leaves nor can you keep the fruit on it from rotting and decaying." - Elder Treecko subtitle.

"You think you can tell me what I can and I can't do is going to stop me, old man! Then you are pathetic!" - Banco Treecko subtitle. The younger Treecko pushes the elder aside. THe other tried to make it to their elder, but the elder just raised its hand.

"Stay back, all of you. I will handle it." Elder Treecko subtitle. Sora and Kairi were stunned to see the Treecko with the twig push the elder like that.

"You were right, Kairi. Those Treecko are in a real dispute. You think something happened?" Sora asked.

"I think it must have something to do with this tree," Kairi said.

Team Rocket watched with interest.

"Ooh, it looks like we have a dispute on our hands. I just love watching other people's troubles. Meowth, translate," Jessie said.

"That you can count," Meowth said, holding his paw to his ear.

"Treecko, Tree, Treecko, Tree? Treecko, Treecko, Treecko, Treecko, Tree," the elder Treecko said.

"Ooh. The geezer Treecko is saying 'What are ya trying to prove? We all left the tree because it became old and no longer good for us to live in. You need to come back with us and find yourself a brand new tree to dwell in,'" Meowth translated.

"Go on, go on," Jessie said.

"Treecko, Treeko, Tree! Treecko, Treecko, Treecko, Treecko, Treecko! Treecko, Treecko!" The younger Treecko said.

"That one Treecko is saying 'No way, old man! It's too soon to run off this tree! I was born on those brances and they have always been my shelter. So, it's my turn to protect this tree. And I don't care how hard you try to talk me out of it, I'm going to keep going until it's truly over,'" Meowth translated. "Talking about dedication."

"Just about the most heroric thing I have ever heard!" James asid, crying. Jessie wasn't in the least bit moved.

"That is not heroric. Life is all about exchaning old things for new things. Things like new homes and new boyfriends," Jessie said.

"Homes and boyfriends?" James asked.

"Are ya sure?" Meowth asked.

"Yes I'm sure! We should always strive for something new! Without change, there is no progress and progress is the future!" Jessie said. "So living in a rotten, dried up old tree, it's not my idea of progress!" James and Meowth turned back to the Treecko and saw they were leaving.

"Don't look now, Jessie, but I think the Treecko are leaving," James said. Jessie turns to see the Treecko leaving leaving Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and the rogue Treecko alone.

"Alright! On the behalf of Team Rocket, let's put Operation: Capture All The Treecko into motion!" Jessie announced.

"Yeah!" James and Meowth both seconded it.

"I am so brilliant, I even astound even myself!" Jessie said. Wobbufett pops out once again.

"Wobbufett!" Wobbufett said.

Treecko looked right at the tree. Sora, Kairi, and Pikachu did the same thing and then right at Treecko. Pikachu could understand why the tree means so much to Treecko so much. Treecko then climbs up the tree. Treecko then runs off into the forest.

"Treecko! Wait! Where are you going?" Sora called out. Treecko just ignored him.

"Pika!" Pikachu called out as the couple turned to the mouse Pokémon on one of its branches.

"Sora, I think this Treecko went somewhere to find something to help the tree," Kairi pointed out.

"You think so?" Sora asked and Kairi nodded. Sora smiled as he realized how much Treecko's home means so much to him. "If the tree means all that much to you, then I can respect that."

"Sora, are you suggesting that we help out Treecko save the tree?" Kairi asked. "It might be too late."

"You'll never know unless you really try. Besides, Pikachu can understand how he feels too. So, let's do the best to help the tree," Sora said. Kairi was moved by her boyfriend's dedication and desire to help those in need. They waited for hours and they saw the same Treecko come back and drag a huge leaf containing water. Treecko poured some of the needed water at the tree's and placed some fallen leaves to where Treecko has watered it. Treecko rolled up the leaf and walked back to the woods to find some more water for the tree and then came back to repeat the process. Treecko has placed the leaves to where he had poured the water, but he is joined by the couple and Pikachu. Treecko turned and became angered, thinking they wanted a rematch.

"Treecko!" Treecko barked.

"Cool your jets, Treecko. We're not here to pick a fight. We're here to help you out anyway we can," Sora said.

"Pikachu," Pikachu said.

"Treecko?" The confused Treecko asked.

Treecko didn't question their intensions and went back to work to save the tree. The couple joined the wood gecko Pokémon to get more water and leaves when the saw some rustling in the treetops. It was a bulldozer with nets. The bulldozer rams into one of the trees and some of the Treecko dropped out and the nets catches them and puts them at a spot, to reveal there is a cage.

"This is terrible!" Kairi gasped.

The bulldozer then sets its attention to the kids and Pokémon. It then heads right towards them.

"It's heading right for us!" Sora shouted.

"Look out!" Kairi shouted as the couple and Pikachu jumped out of the way, but it struck Treecko and he lands on the tree on all fours.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" Sora shouted.

"Prepare for trouble, the net's a threat," Jessie started.

"Make it double, and what's double is our nets!" James said. Sora just sighed. Team Rocket's hot air balloon comes floating up as it was bloinking lights of many different colors. The balloon is holding all of the Treecko.

"Oh, it's just you morons again," Sora said, annoyed. "Can we just cut the crap already?" Sora said, taking out a Pokéball and throws it. "Go! Taillow!" Sora shouted. The Pokéball openns and Taillow comes flying out.

"I'm with you, Sora! Go! Stufful!" Kairi shouted as she threw hers and her Stufful comes out wagging her little tail. Team Rocket weren't impressed.

"So, you've some new Pokémon. Well, so do we," Jessie said, taking out her Pokéball.

"It's time for us to make an introduction," James added.

"Go! Seviper!" Jessie shouted as Seviper has been let out.

"You too, Cacnea!" James shouted as his Cacnea is unleashed, but then it heads for James and giving him a painful hug. "YEOW!" And I thought handling Victreebel was a chore!"

"When they get new ones?" Sora asked as he took out his Pokédex to get information on Team Rocket's lastest additions.

Seviper, the Fang Snake Pokémon

Type: Poison

Ever since the beginning of time, Seviper has shared a fierce rivalry with Zangoose. Seviper uses its bladed tail to slice its victims into shreds.

Cacnea, the Cactus Pokémon

Type: Grass

Cacnea lives in arid locations such as deserts. It releases a strong aroma from its flower to attract prey. When prey comes near, this Pokémon shoots sharp thorns from its body to bring the victim down.

"How much you wanna bet they stole them, Kairi?" Sora asked.

"No such luck, Sora. Even if they tried, those three wouldn't steal candy from a baby," Kairi said. Sora nodded in agreement.

"Fair point," Sora stated.

"Now, let's make our next catch!" Meowth said, as he moved the net to swipe Pikachu, but Stufful destroys the net before it could do that. "Hey! You're gonna pay for that!" Meowth said, sending the other net to grab Pikachu, but Stufful destroys it too. "Argh! That little carnival prize foiled our perfect capture plan!"

"Just use some other nets!" Jessie said.

"There aren't any other nets! Those are the only ones!" Meowth said.

"How about we just battle them?" James suggested.

"Right! Seviper! Use Poison Tail!" Jessie ordered.

"Cacnea! Use Pin Missle!" James ordered.

Seviper came at Stufful with its tail, giving off a purple glow as Cacnea fires pins right at Taillow.

"Dodge it, Taillow! And use Quick Attack!" Sora ordered. Taillow dashes right at Seviper and lands a direct hit.

"Stufful! Use Bide!" Kairi ordered. Stufful begins to endure Canea's Pin Missle and begins to build up energy.

"Use Needle Arm!" James ordered. A light green orb of energy with four spikes on it forms around both of Cacnea's arms and comes right at Stufful and delievers a blow, but then Stufful fires a white beam of energy, hitting Cacnea. While the battle between Sora, Kairi, and Team Rocket goes on, Treecko climbs up the tree to save his fellow Treecko from them. Treecko jumps from the tree and reached Team Rocket and smacks Jessie with his tail.

"Ow!" Jessie howled as she fell backwards and accidentally releasing all of the Treecko as they climbed out and jumped back into the trees.

"Sora! All of the Treecko are free!" Kairi said.

"Good! It's time to send them flying," Sora said. Kairi smiled as she giggled.

"Couldn't agree with you more," Kairi said. She turned to Stufful. " But first. Okay, Stufful! Give Seviper and Cacnea a throw in the right direction!" Stufful grabs both of Seviper and Cacnea and spins them around in her paw, making them dizzy. Stufful then throws both Seviper and Cacnea right at the balloon with Seviper's fangs and Cacnea's needles piercing the balloon. Team Rocket winced in horror when they saw that.

"SHIT!" Team Rocket shouted as they went flying in their balloon. "LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!"

"Wobbufett!" Wobbufett said.

"And just when we thought we had those Team Magma guys to worry about, we had to hear from those idiots," Sora said.

"But why are they even here in the first place?" Kairi asked.

"Probably up to no good as usual. At least they failed again. And they would have gotten Pikachu if Stufful hadn't acted in time. So thanks, Kairi," Sora said.

"It was the least I can do, Sora. Stufful just acted the same way Illima's Bewear would have. It also shows how much I love you," Kairi said. Sora smiled.

"I love you too," Sora said as he and Kairi had shared a passionate kiss. Pikachu, Taillow, and Stufful watched the couple kiss very sweetly as many of the Treecko were watching them as well. Some of them were confused by it since they've never seen human beings kissing before. The Treecko with the twig climbed down and caught a glimpse of them kissing. Sora and Kairi had parted lips, but he had set his sights on the large tree again. The rest of the Treecko turned to him. The Treecko with the twig turned to the others.

"You have saved us all. For that we are eternally grateful." - Elder Treecko subtitle.

"I din't save you just because I like you or anything. I only did it, because you didn't belong in that cage." - Banco Treecko subtitle. The elder Treecko and the Treecko with the twig did a tail shake. All of the Treecko cheered as the couple smiled at the sight.

"It looks likie they're all friends again," Kairi said.

"They sure are," Sora agreed.

"Pika," Pikachu said.

Treecko with the twig smiled as a cracking sound is heard. He turned to see it was the tree itself. The crack began to grow in size and then it split into two. The elder Treecko instructed them to keep the sides from falling and they tried to hold it, but they just weren't strong enough.

"Sora! The tree!" Kairi gasped.

"I have a rope we can use!" Sora said, taking off his backpack and took out the rope. The Treecko all tried to hold it, but it was just no use. As the sun has risen, the light of the sun shone from the splits and they all watched as the tree was showing them its past. Right from the beginning as a seed to when it grew into the large tree.

"Is the tree being reborn before us?" Sora asked.

"No. I think it's showing us its life," Kairi said. "I don't know how, but that's what it looks like."

"Pika," Pikachu said.

As the vison continues, seeds are dropped, and grew into the largest tree in the forest. When the vion has ended, the sides of the tree had fallen and a seed has fallen before the twig Treecko's feet. Sora walked up to the Treecko.

"Hey Treecko," Sora said, as Treecko turned to him. "I think that tree was telling you that it was okay. It's time was up, so we can plant a seed just so another tree can be born." The Treecko looked right at Sora and then grins. Treecko smacks Sora with his tail. "Aah! Hey! What was that for?!" Treecko raised his fists, telling Sora that he's challenging him.

"You're challenging me into a battle?" Sora asked.

"Treecko," the Treecko nodded.

"Then, I accept your challenge," Sora said.

"Treecko, Treecko, Tree," Treecko said, ppointing to Pikachu.

"But you'll only battle Pikachu? Okay. You're on," Sora said. Pikachu and Treecko got into position for battle. Kairi and all of the other Treecko were watching the battle take place. "I know Electric Type attacks won't do much damage, but I'm gonna have to try." Sora points his finger. "Pikachu! Quick Attack!" Pikachu dashes towards Treecko, but he dodges and uses his own Quick Attack and lands a hit onto Pikachu. Treecko then smacks Pikachu with his tail. "Thunderbolt!" Pikachu fires Thunderbolt and it does little damage onto Treecko. Treecko fires Bullet Seed. "Dodge it, Pikachu!" Pikachu jumps to avoid Treecko's Bullet Seed. Treecko fired Bullet Seed again, but Pikachu kept dodging the attack. "Iron Tail!" Pikachu swings his tail right at the wood gecko Pokémon and sends him right into the air.

"Sora! Now's your chance!" Kairi called out.

"Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered. Pikachu fired Thunderbolt and it does more damage than before. Treecko has fallen to the ground beaten. Sora takes out a Pokéball and throws it right at the Treecko. When the Pokéball struck him, he flows inside it. The Pokéball wobbles around violently as Sora and Kairi knew he wasn't going to stay in that easily. The Pokéball kept wobbling until stars swirls around it, confirming the catch. "Now I have my own Treecko!"

"I never doubted you, Sora!" Kairi praised her boyfriend as she took him by the hands.

"Pi, Pikachu!" Pikachu also praised.

Kairi had let go of Sora's hand just so he can pick up the Pokéball containing his newest Pokémon. He hurls it into the air.

"Come on out, Treecko!" Sora called out. The Pokéball opens as Treecko places his twig in his mouth. "From now on, you're with us. So, welcome aboard."

"Treecko," Sora's new Treecko said. The elder Treecko walked up to him.

"Treecko, Treecko.Treecko," the elder Treecko said, holding the seed. Sora's Treecko smiled and took the seed and planted it into the ground. Treecko then poured water into the seed, helping it grown and then places leaves onto the spot where the seed has been planted.

The couple took one last at the wild Treecko as they bid they former comrade a fond farewell. They all left as Treecko knew that a bright future was in store for the new tree when it is big enough.

As the couple made their way through the Petalburg Forest, they are approached by a boy who is carrying a huge net. This scene was familiar to him since Sora has battled against one those kinds of trainers before.

"Hey there! You a Pokémon trainer, aren't you?" The boy asked.

"Yeah," Sora answered.

"Good, because I am challenging you into a battle! Three of mine against three of yours!" The boy challenged.

"Okay, you're on!" Sora said, accepting the challenge. Kairi took out two of her Pokéballs.

"Well, then you're going to need some moral support. Plusle! Minun! Go!" Kairi shouted as Plusle and Minun are let out to cheer for Sora. He chuckled a bit.

"Okay! Here goes!" The boy said, taking out a Pokéball. "Go right in Wurmple!" He throws his Pokéball and out comes a small and larval caterpillar-like Pokémon. The top part of its long body is bright scarlet red, while its segmented underbelly is cream-colored. It has ten stubby white legs. It has many spines all over its body, including a long red spine atop its head, a yellow spike on its forehead, and two yellow spines protruding from its rear.It has large yellow eyes with black pupils. Sora took out his Pokédex to scan the Pokémon.

Wurmple, the Worm Pokémon

Type: Bug

Using the spikes on its rear end, Wurmple peels the bark off trees and feeds on the sap that oozes out. This Pokémon's feet are tipped with suction pads that allow it to cling to glass without slipping.

"And I thought Caterpie had that quality," Sora said, putting his Pokédex away. He then takes out his Pokéball. "It's time to shine, Grubbin!" Sora throws it and Grubbin clamps on his mandibles upon entry.

"Whoa! A Grubbin! How did you come across that? I always wanted one of those," the boy said. "Wurmple! Tackle!" Wurmple charges towards Grubbin with a full force of its body.

"Stop Wurmple with your Vice Grip!" Sora ordered. Grubbin waited for Wurmple to get close enough and grabs the worm Pokémon with his mandibles. Grubbin tosses Wurmple to the side. "Now use Electro Web!" Grubbin fires Electro Web to trap Wurmple in it.

"Wurmple! Dodge and use Poison Sting!" The boy ordered as Wurmple fires Poison Sting. The barbs are blocked by Grubbin's Electro Web and ends up being struck. Wurmple had been taken out. "No way! Not bad, but he's my next one." He calls back his Wurmple. "Go! Silcoon!" He throws his Pokéball and what ame out is a small, ovular, fuzzy pupal Pokémon wrapped in soft silky fibers. The silk covering its ovular body is pure white, and it has spikes protruding from every side. It has two round red eyes protruding from beneath the mass of fluffy silk on its face.

"Silcoon, huh?" Sora asked, taking out his Pokédex once again.

Silcoon, the Cocoon Pokémon

An evolved form of Wurmple

Type: Bug

Silcoon tethers itself to a tree branch using silk to keep from falling. There, this Pokémon hangs quietly while it awaits evolution. It peers out of the silk cocoon through a small hole.

"Must be an evolution line theme going on everywhere I go," Sora said, calling Grubbin back. He took out his next Pokéball. "Go! Torchic!" He threw his Pokéball and Torchis is raring to go. "Okay Torchic! Peck!" Torchic ran towards Silcoon to peck at it.

"Silcoon! Harden!" The boy ordered. Silcoon hardens its body as Torchic pecks at the cocoon Pokémon. "Now use Tackle!" Silcoon tackles into Torchic.

"Don't take it, laying down, Torchic! Use Peck again!" Sora ordered. Torchic pecks at Silcoon and it hurts Silcoon.

"Silcoon! String Shot!" The boy ordered. Silcoon fires String Shot and tangles Torchic in it.

"Torchic! Ember!" Torchic fires Ember and it burns the silk and lands a hit onto Silccon. The cacoon Pokémon had been taken down so fast due to its weakness to fire. The boy calls back Silcoon.

"Way to go, but here's number three," the boy said, taking out another Pokéball. "It's your turn, Cascoon!" He throws the Pokéball and Cascoon emerges from inside. It looked identical to Silcoon, but it was light purple. Sora tilted his head and took out his Pokédex again to get more information.

"Another Silcoon?" Sora asked.

Cascoon, the Cocoon Pokémon

An evolved form of Wurmple

Type: Bug

Cascoon makes its protective cocoon by wrapping its body entirely with a fine silk from its mouth. Once the silk goes around its body, it hardens. This Pokémon prepares for its evolution inside the cocoon.

"Okay, guess not," Sora said, putting his Pokédex away. He calls back Torchic and takes out the Pokéball containing his new Treecko. "Your very first battle and let's make a memorable one! Go! Treecko!" Sora throws it and Treecko comes out and places his twig in his mouth.

"You're sending a Grass Type Pokémon against my Cascoon? You should know that Grass Types are at a disadvantage against Bug Types like my Cascoon," the boy pointed out.

"Sometimes, you gotta think outside the box! Treecko! Get ready!" Sora called out.

"Let's make this quick! Cascoon! Poison Sting!" The boy ordered. Cascoon fired Poison Sting to strike the wood gecko Pokémon.

"Treecko! Fire Bullet Seed!" Sora ordered. Treecko fired Bullet Seed and it blocks Cascoon's Bullet Seed. Cascoon kept firing Poison Sting and Treecko kept firing Bullet Seed.

"Oh, nuts to this! Cascoon! Tackle!" The boy ordered. Cascoon charges with a full force of its body.

"Treecko! Use Pound!" Sora ordered. Treecko swings his tail and smacks Cascoon like a baseball. Cascoon hurdles right at a tree and smacks into it, causing some little brown Pokémon that resembles acorns to drop out. They had a beige, mask-like pattern covers its large black eyes, and it has two beige feet. It has a gray "cap" with a short stem on top of its head. These little Pokémon are known as Seedot.They all go running into the woods. The boy ran up to Cascoon.

"Hey, Cascoon! Are you okay?" The asked very concerned.

"Coon," Cascoon responded.

"You've battled enough today. You should rest up," the boy said, calling Cascoon back. Sora walkedup to his opponent.

"Is your Cascoon okay? I hope my Treecko didn't hurt it too bad," Sora said.

"Oh no. It wasn't your fault. This sort of thing happens all the time. And besides, something like that was abound to happen. Also, you're really awesome. I mean the way you battle is unreal!" The boy said.

"It's no big deal. You have some pretty cool Pokémon too," Sora said. The boy smiled having to be complimented by Sora.

With the battle over, they continued on their way through the Petalburg Forest to reach Rustoboro City. The adventure continues on and what will happen next? Just wait and see.
