Returning to Jubilife City.

The next morning at the Pokemon Center, Ed, Edd, and Eddy were in the cafeteria. After having a breakfast consisting of pancakes and orange juice for Edd and Eddy and buttered toast and milk for Ed, they were gathered around a table looking at their map.

"So what's the plan, Double D?" asked Eddy.

"Well, Eddy, once we return to Jubilife City, we'll head north up route 204, go through the Ravaged Path, which we should be able to get through now that we can use that HM app to use Rock Smash now that we each have the Coal Badge, then we'll continue heading north until we reach a town called Floroma Town where there is a Pokemon Center where we can rest our Pokemon, maybe grab a bite to eat, maybe stock up on supplies at that town's PokeMart, we will continue heading north until we reach Eterna Forest, once we get through that, we will reach Eterna City."

"Sounds like a plan to me." said Eddy. "Okay, boys. Let's get our stuff and hit the road."

"You got it, Eddy." said Ed. After getting their backpacks from their room, they exited the Pokemon Center and headed to Oreburgh Gate. The Eds soon entered Oreburgh Gate. As they walked, Eddy saw some big rocks blocking a passage way.

"Well, as long as we're here, might as well try out Rock Smash now that I have that Coal Badge." says Edd. He looks at his Poketch, brings up the HM app and selects Rock Smash on it. Suddenly, a Bidoof appears and smashes the rocks to bits.

"That was handy. But where did that Bidoof come from?" asked Eddy.

"Perhaps the app sent out some sort of signal that summoned it." guessed Edd.

"But how did the app make the Bidoof smash those rocks?" asked Eddy.

"I'm not sure, Eddy. But at least we know it works and we should be able to get through the Ravaged Path now." said Edd. Looking at where the rocks were, they see the tunnel passage continue.

"What's down there, you guys?" asked Ed.

"I don't know, Ed. Perhaps we should explore and find out." suggested Edd.

"Yeah. Maybe there's some Pokemon we can add to our team." said Eddy.

"Yeah!" said Ed with excitement as he ran down the tunnel.

"Hey, monobrow. Slow down." said Eddy as he and Edd ran to catch up with them. They soon reached a set of stairs leading down and they walk down them. They soon arrived at a large area.

"Cool." said Ed. He suddenly hears something approaching. He turns to see a Psyduck waddling over to them. "Hi." said Ed.

"Psyduck." replied the Psyduck.

"Hey. I want to capture this Pokemon." said Ed.

"Do it, Ed." said Eddy. Ed pulls a pokeball out of his pocket.

"Come on out, Starly." said Ed, throwing Starly's pokeball and letting him out. "Starly, use Wing Attack." Starly flies towards Psyduck and strikes it with one of its wings. Psyduck gets sent flying back and into a rock. It glares at Starly and it leaps toward him and scratches it across the chest.

"Starly!" exclaimed Starly.

"Starly, use Quick Attack." said Ed. Starly flies at Psyduck with incredible speed and rams it.

"Psy!" exclaimed Psyduck, as it falls to the ground. It struggles to get up. Ed throws an empty pokeball at it. It hits the Psyduck and it gets sucked into the pokeball, it lands on the ground and starts wiggling around a few times until it stops and clicks, indicating its capture. Ed walks over to the pokeball and picks it up. "I caught a Psyduck, you guys." Ed says happily.

"That's wonderful, Ed." said Edd. The pokedex chimes. Edd pulls it out of his pocket and looks at it. "Oh. It seems because of that battle, your Starly learned Double Team, which increases his evasiveness. As for your new Psyduck, it knows Scratch, Tail Whip, Water Gun, and Confusion. It also has an ability called Damp, which prevents other Pokemon near it from using the moves Explosion and Self-Destruct."

"What do those moves do, Double-D?" asked Ed.

"Well, basically, Ed, the Pokemon blows itself up to cause damage to its opponent." replied Edd. A horrified look appears on Ed's face. "Oh, don't worry, Ed. The Pokemon will lose all its stamina, but it'll still be alive and in one piece." Ed lets out a sigh of relief. He puts Psyduck's pokeball in his pocket. "We'll stop by the Jubilife City Pokemon Center to heal your Psyduck as soon as we get there."

"Okay, Double-D." said Ed. They explored the rest of the area as much as they could. But they couldn't explore parts of it, so they decided to leave the area. They soon reached the tunnel exit and leave Oreburgh Gate. While they walked towards Jubilife, Eddy took the time to train his Geodude since he hasn't much opportunity to do so in the Oreburgh Mine. During the training, Geodude learned Rock Polish and Rollout. After the training, they went straight to Jubilife City and went to the Pokemon Center. They hand their Pokemon to the nurse and sat down for lunch, which was a pizza for them to split, along with some soda. Once they were done, they picked up their Pokemon and left.

"Okay, boys. Onward to Eterna City." said Eddy. As they headed to the north exit out of Jubilife, they see a familiar face.

"Hey. Isn't that Professor Rowan?" asked Ed, pointing to Professor Rowan who was with two strangely-dressed men.

"It is, Ed. But who are those two other men who are with them?" asked Edd.

"I don't know. But Professor Rowan doesn't look happy to be with them." said Eddy, noticing the frown on Professor Rowan's face.

"Should we see if Professor Rowan needs some assistance?" asked Edd.

"Might as well, Double-D. We're heading that way, anyway." said Eddy as he and the others ran over to them. With Professor Rowan, he was arguing with the two mysterious men.

"What do you men want with me?" demanded Professor Rowan.

"We want your research notes, Professor. Hand it all over." said one of the men. Just then, the Eds showed up in front of them.

"Professor. Are you okay?" asked Edd. Professor Rowan looks at them with surprise.

"Boys. What are you doing here?" asked Professor Rowan.

"We were passing through here on our way to Eterna City. Is everything okay here?" asked Edd.

"No. These men call themselves Team Galactic. They want my research for reasons they have yet to reveal to me." said Professor Rowan. The two Team Galactic men stepped up to the Eds.

"Let's try this another way, Professor Rowan. If you don't hand over your research, these boys will become 'collateral damage'." said one of the Team Galactic men. The Eds looked nervous. The two Team Galactic men each pulled out a pokeball. "Here's what we're going to do. We'll battle two of these boys in a tag battle. If we win, you hand over your research. If they win, we'll leave."

"Who should battle these men?" asked Edd. Eddy grabs Ed and steps forward.

"We will. Besides, with how expensive those clothes look, I'll bet they have a lot of money we can win from them." said Eddy as he and Ed each pulled out a pokeball. The two Team Galactic men threw their pokeballs releasing a Zubat and a red caterpillar-like Pokemon they haven't seen before. Edd pulls out the pokedex.

"Wurmple, the Worm Pokemon. It spits a white silk thread that turns sticky when coming into contact with air. The silk is used to immobilize foes." said the pokedex.

"I believe that's a bug-type Pokemon. The best Pokemon to handle that are flying, fire, and rock type Pokemon." said Edd.

"Rock, huh? This looks like a good chance to give my Geodude some battle experience." said Eddy. He throws his pokeball, releasing Geodude.

"Psyduck, I choose you." said Ed as he throws Psyduck's pokeball, releasing him.

"Psyduck." says Psyduck. Both sides stare each other down.

"Okay, Geodude. Use Rollout on that Wurmple." said Eddy. Geodude rolls towards the Wurmple and slams into it, knocking it out in one hit. The Team Galactic member looked shocked.

"Impossible. How can I lose so easily?" asked the Team Galactic member.

"Quite simple. Eddy's Geodude had the type advantage and was better trained than your Wurmple." stated Edd. The Team Galactic member glared at Edd.

"I know that. It was a rhetorical question." said the Team Galactic member as he returned Wurmple to its pokeball. Meanwhile, Ed's Psyduck was facing the other Team Galactic member's Zubat.

"Psyduck, use Confusion." said Ed. Psyduck glowed blue and the Zubat began to glow blue when it was suddenly knocked back.

"Very good, Ed. Confusion is a psychic type attack, which is super effective against poison types like Zubat." said Edd. The Zubat was flapping its wings, weakly.

"Zubat, use Supersonic." said the Team Galactic member. Zubat began screeching and Psyduck began wobbling around.

"Oh dear, it seems Psyduck is confused now." said Edd.

"You can do it, Psyduck. Use Water Gun." said Ed. Psyduck was able to fight through the confusion and fired a Water Gun and hit Zubat. The Zubat faints and falls to the ground.

"No!" yelled the Team Galactic member. He returns Zubat to its pokeball. "It appears we have lost, so we'll leave as we promised. But this does not affect our goals in the slightest." said the Team Galactic member. They threw pokedollars to the ground and ran off. Ed and Eddy return their Pokemon to their pokeballs. They looked back at Professor Rowan.

"Are you okay, Professor?" asked Edd.

"I am, thanks to you, boys." said Professor Rowan.

"They weren't so tough." said Eddy.

"You boys have clearly gotten strong. And I see you caught yourselves some Pokemon." said Professor Rowan.

"Yeah!" said Ed.

"So what will you do now, Professor?" asked Edd.

"I will return to my lab and look into Team Galactic for the time being. For now, be careful on your journey." said Professor Rowan. He soon leaves the Eds and heads back to Sandgem Town.

"Looks like our journey has become a lot more perilous with those Team Galactic men out there." said Edd.

"Don't worry, sockhead. I'm sure we can handle them. Now let's get going; we have badges to win." said Eddy as he ran off.

"Eddy, wait for us." said Ed as he ran off after him. Sighing in exasperation, Edd runs off after them.
