The Grand Underground (Part 2)

"Where did Ed go off to?" asked Eddy as he and Edd continued to search for their missing friend.

"I don't know, Eddy. But we should keep looking around until we find him." said Edd. They continue to look around until they went into a Pokemon hideaway that had an underground spring in it. "It's amazing how many different kinds of ecosystems exist here in The Grand Underground, Eddy. We've seen swampy marshlands, lush green pastures with trees, an area with lava in it, and now an underground spring. The Great Underground is truly a magnificent place."

"Yeah, yeah. Let's just keep looking for Ed." said Eddy. As they looked around the hideaway they were in, Edd notices a Pokemon he hasn't seen before. It was small with a white body, but it had a green dome with red horns on it, covering half its head.

"What is that Pokemon?" asked Edd as he pulled out the pokedex and points it at the Pokemon.

"Ralts, The Feeling Pokemon. It uses its horns on its head to sense human emotions. It is said to appear in front of cheerful people." said the pokedex.

"The pokedex also says this Pokemon is part psychic and fairy type. Maybe I should try capturing it for my team." said Edd.

"You should go for it, Double-D." said Eddy.

"All right, I will." said Edd as he pulled out a pokeball. "Kricketune, I choose you." Edd throws Kricketune's pokeball, releasing him. The Ralts looks over at Edd and Kricketune with surprise. But as Edd looked at the Ralts, he couldn't help but see how cute and innocent it looked. "Hmm. You look like such a nice Pokemon. I don't really want to hurt you."

"What are you going to do now, sockhead? You have to battle it to have a chance of capturing it." said Eddy.

"Not necessarily, Eddy. I've read that sleeping Pokemon are easier to capture because they won't be able to struggle while in the pokeball." said Edd.

"But it's awake right now. What are you going to do about that?" asked Eddy. Thinking carefully, Edd came up with an idea.

"Kricketune has an attack that can remedy that situation. Kricketune, use Sing." said Edd. Kricketune starts to sing a soothing melody to Ralts. Ralts suddenly started looking very drowsy. After a few more seconds, Ralts lays down on the ground and falls asleep.

"It's asleep. Now's your chance, Double-D." said Eddy. Edd pulls a pokeball out of his bag and throws it at Ralts. It hits Ralts and sucks it inside. The pokeball wiggles for a little bit until it clicks. Edd runs up and picks up the pokeball.

"Success." said Edd. The pokedex chimes and he looks at it. "It appears Ralts knows the moves Growl, Disarming Voice, Double Team, Confusion, Hypnosis, Draining Kiss, Teleport, and Psybeam. It also has the ability called Synchronize. This makes it that if Ralts has a status condition, the opposing Pokemon will become afflicted with the same condition as well. That could come in handy."

"Okay, Double-D. Ed isn't here, either. Let's keep looking." said Eddy as he walks out of the hideaway. Edd looks at his new Ralts' pokeball.

"I have a feeling we're going to be great friends." said Edd. They continue to walk around The Grand Underground until they reach another hideaway. As they search it, they hear the sounds of heavy running coming towards them.

"What's that noise?" asked Eddy. They look to see a four-legged Pokemon with stone skin and a horn on its face charging towards them. They quickly move out of its path and head for cover. Edd pulls out the pokedex and points it at the new Pokemon.

"Rhyhorn, The Spikes Pokemon. Its body is clad in a thick hide, and its tackles topple buildings. Unfortunately, it is not smart." said the pokedex.

"Hmm. Although it is not smart like the pokedex stated, it sounds like a strong Pokemon that can be useful on my team." said Edd.

"Well hurry up and capture it before it tramples us." said Eddy with a panicked voice. Edd pulls out Prinplup's pokeball and throws it, releasing him. Rhyhorn sees him and stands ready for battle.

"All right, Prinplup. Use Bubblebeam." said Edd. Prinplup releases a stream of bubble which hits Rhyhorn, doing super effective damage. "Good thing Rhyhorn is part ground and part rock. Water attacks are extremely effective against it." Rhyhorn staggers to its feet and charges towards Prinplup. "Prinplup, dodge it." said Edd. Prinplup leaps out of Rhyhorn's path and it crashes into a big rock, stunning it. Seeing an opportunity to capture him, Edd grabs another pokeball out of his bag and throws it at Rhyhorn. Rhyhorn gets sucked into the pokeball. The ball wiggles a bit and clicks, indicating another capture. Edd picks up the pokeball. "That's another Pokemon for my team."

"Good work, sockhead." said Eddy. Edd takes out the pokedex and looks at it.

"My new Rhyhorn knows the moves Tackle, Tail Whip, Smack Down, Bulldoze, and Horn Attack. It has the ability Lightning Rod. That makes it that if a Pokemon tries using an electric type attack on it, it won't effect it and it's special attack power will increase. Not that an electric attack would effect Rhyhorn, considering it's part ground type." said Edd. After searching the hideaway for Ed and with no success, they exit and continue their search. They soon reach a hideaway that was lit with the light of many crystals.

"Man, those crystals are bright." said Eddy.

"At least they provide light for this area." said Edd. Suddenly, a strong odor reaches their noses. "Oh, dear lord. What is that smell?"

"Hold on. I know that smell anywhere." said Eddy as he runs towards some rocks where the smell was coming from. And just like Eddy suspected, he found Ed. He was kneeling near two Pokemon that Eddy hasn't seen yet, giving each one an Oran Berry. Edd, after running over to where they were, pulls out his pokedex and points it at the black robed Pokemon.

"Duskull, the Requiem Pokemon. It doggedly pursues its prey wherever the prey goes. However, the chase is abandoned at sunrise." said the pokedex. Edd then points the pokedex at the yellow and black Pokemon. "Elekid, the Electric Pokemon. It generates electricity by whirling its arms. However, it can't store the electricity it makes." Ed, hearing the pokedex, turns to see Edd and Eddy.

"Hi, guys." said Ed.

"Ed, we've been looking all over for you." said Edd. "Never run off like that again."

"Sorry, guys. Look, I have new Pokemon." said Ed, pointing at Duskull and Elekid.

"Congratulation, Ed." said Edd. He looks at the pokedex. "Okay, Ed. Your Duskull knows Astonish, Leer, Disable, Shadow Sneak, (a/n: The first move he used on Psyduck in chapter 18.) Confuse Ray, and Night Shade. (a/n: The other move he used on Psyduck.) It has the ability, Levitate, which will make him immune to ground type moves. Your Elekid knows Quick Attack, (a/n: The second move he used on Grotle in chapter 18.) Leer, Thunder Shock, (a/n: The move he used on Psyduck.) Charge, Swift, (a/n: The star move he used on Grotle in chapter 18.) and Shock Wave. He has the abilty, Static, which has a chance of afflicting a Pokemon that attacks him physically with the paralysis status condition." He notices Elekid was holding something. "Oh my, that's an Electirizer."

"What's that?" asked Ed.

"Well, Ed. Elekid's evolved form is Electabuzz. When you trade him after he evolves into Electabuzz while he's holding the Electirizer, he will evolve into an Electivire." explained Edd.

"But I don't want to trade any of my Pokemon." said Ed.

"Maybe you can find someone who has a Pokemon that also needed to be traded to evolve." said Edd. "Eddy's Geodude evolves into Graveler, and for him to evolve into his final form, Golem; it needs to be traded. Maybe you and Eddy can trade your Pokemon, then trade them back after they evolve."

"Sounds good to me." said Eddy.

"Thanks, Eddy." said Ed.

"Yeah, yeah. Come on, boys. Let's find some stuff we can sell for cash." said Eddy.

"Okay." said Ed. He returns Duskull and Elekid to their pokeballs and he, along with Edd and Eddy left the hideaway.

"While we were searching for you, Ed. We also caught ourselves some new Pokemon." said Edd.

"Cool." said Ed.

"We'll show you later, Ed. Let's just try digging up some treasures." said Eddy. They examined the walls until they found some parts that are bulging.

"These parts look like they might have stuff in them. said Edd. They grab the pickaxe and sledgehammer and start digging. As they did, Eddy found a red four-pointed rock and pulls it out.

"Just a rock." said Eddy as he tosses it aside.

"Eddy. That was a Star Piece." said Edd.

"So?" replied Ed.

"Don't you know how valuable those are? According to the guidebook, a Star Piece can be sold for 4,900 pokedollars." said Edd. Eddy quickly looks back towards the Star Piece.

"IT'S MINE!" yelled Eddy as he leaps towards the Star Piece and grabs it.

"You shouldn't be too quick to judge something without knowing more about it." said Edd. But Eddy wasn't listening because he was too busy coveting the Star Piece in his hands. "Why do I bother?" asked Edd. As they dug some more, Edd found a light green, rectangular plate.

"What's that, Double-D?" asked Ed.

"I believe it's an Insect Plate. A Pokemon that's holding it will have the power of its bug type moves increased. This would be perfect for my Kricketune." said Edd. He releases Kricketune and swaps the Oran Berry it had with the Insect Plate. After that, Edd returns Kricketune to his pokeball. "That will benefit Kricketune more in the future."

"Are there other plates like that?" asked Eddy after he put the Star Piece into his bag.

"Yes. There are all sorts of plates that can each increase the power of a specific type of move. It would be wise to keep our eyes open for them." said Edd. As they continued to dig, Ed finds a blue plate.

"Is this a plate, Double-D?" asked Ed.

"Yes, Ed. That's a Splash Plate. It increases the power of water type moves. You should give that to your Psyduck." said Edd.

"Okay." said Ed. He lets Psyduck out of his pokeball and gives him the Splash Plate to hold, then returns him to his pokeball. After that, they spend several hours digging and found several other things. Edd found a Mind Plate for Ralts, and another Splash Plate for his Prinplup. Ed found a Meadow Plate for his Grotle, and a Sky Plate for his Starvia. Eddy found a Flame Plate for Monferno, a Hard Stone for Geodude, and a Dread Plate for Absol. Ed was smashing some rocks until he saw something sticking out of the dirt. After using the pickaxe a few times, he saw that it was a bone. "I found a bone, you guys." he says while holding it in his mouth like a dog while dragging his butt across the ground.

"Whoop-dee-doo, Ed." replied Eddy.

"Ed, you found a Rare Bone. Those are worth 5,000 pokedollars." said Edd.

"Oh boy!" said Ed.

"Lucky." muttered Eddy. After a bit more digging, they decided to call it a day.

"Well that was a good workout for us. My arms actually feel like they're a bit stronger." said Edd.

"I'm all sweaty and dirty. Let's just go back up to the surface, go to the PokeMart so we can sell some of this stuff for cash, go to the Pokemon Center, heal our Pokemon, eat, take a shower, and get some sleep." said Eddy.

"Good idea, Eddy." said Edd.

"Aww. I don't want to shower." said Ed. The Eds go back up to the surface and went to the PokeMart and sold the valuable things they found. After that, they went to the Pokemon Center and gave the nurse their Pokemon for treatment. They then went to the cafeteria for dinner, took some much-needed showers (except for Ed) and went to sleep to rest up for their gym battles tomorrrow.
