Solaceon Ruins
After traveling through Route 209, the Eds soon arrived at Solaceon Town. The first thing they did was going straight to the Pokemon Center to heal their Pokemon. While they were healing, the Eds went to the cafeteria to grab some dinner.
"Fellows. I think by the time we reach Veilstone City, it will be dark and the gym there will be closed for the day." said Edd. "I believe we should spend the night here and continue on to Veilstone City in the morning."
"Fine. I guess waiting one more day to get our badges won't hurt." said Eddy. "So what should we do until then?"
"I guess we can look around town. I heard there were some ruins nearby. I would like to explore." said Edd.
"You do that. Big Ed and l are just going to chill out here. I hope you don't run into trouble like we did at that tower." said Eddy.
"But Eddy, we got new TMs there." said Ed.
"Oh yes. I have forgotten about those." said Edd. "Let's use them on some of our Pokemon. I believe Graveler and Rhyhorn can be taught Strength."
"Sweet." said Eddy. He lets Graveler out of his pokeball whild Edd lets Rhyhorn out of his. Ed takes two Strength TMs out of his backpack and gives Edd and Eddy each one. They use them on Graveler and Rhyhorn and they now know Strength. Soon the Eds pizza and sodas arrived at their table and they began eating. Minutes later, they left the cafeteria. "Me and Ed are going to chill out in our room. Have fun at your ruins, Double-D."
"Thank you, Eddy." said Edd. He left the Pokemon Center while Ed and Eddy went to their room. Edd walks to the east side of town and enters a cave where the runs are supposed to be. He goes inside and sees a large room with stone walls and stairways. On the walls were marking that look like a Pokemon that look the same, but each one's appendages looked different, almost resembling letters. "Fascinating." As Edd continued to explore, several black, thin Pokemon with a big eye that looked like the Pokemon markings on the wall floated down from above and hovered in front of Edd. He takes out the pokedex and points it at the Pokemon.
"Unown, the Symbol Pokemon. They seem to communicate among each other telepathically. They are always found stuck on walls." said the Pokedex.
"Oh. Hello there." said Edd. The Unowns eyes glowed red and they fired red beams of energy at Edd. He narrowly avoids being hit. "I think that was Hidden Power." He looks at the Unowns. "Please. I mean you no harm. I was just exploring these ruins." The Unown flew straight at him. Edd pulls a pokeball out of his pocket. "I do not wish to harm you, but if I have to defend myself, I will. Since you Unowns are psychic type, a bug type will have the advantage. Kricketune, I choose you." He throws Kricketune's pokeball and lets him out. The Unown surrounded Kricketune and unleashed Hidden Power on him. Some did harm to Kricketune, while some weren't very effective. "Oh, yes, each Hidden Power is a different type of attack. Some can be grass type, some can be fire type, or some can be poison type. All right, Kricketune, use Struggle Bug." Kricketune crosses his arms and becomes surrounded by a bright red aura. As the Unown began approaching him, Kricketune opens his arms and a dome of red engergy bursts out of him and it hits all the Unowns, causing super effective damage. Because of Kricketune's Insect Plate, Struggle Bug was more stronger than it originally was. The Unowns flew back and landed on the ground. The Unowns got up and flew deep into the ruins. "I'm sorry." Edd calls out to the Unowns. He turns to Kricketune. "Good job, Kricketune. Let's keep looking around. I'll keep you with me in case we run into more trouble." Kricketune nods and he and Edd continue exploring the ruins. The two went up and down several flights of stairs with Edd admiring the markings on the walls while Kricketune was on his guard. They came across a few small rooms that some had items in. They soon reached a room that was bigger than the rest of them that had several items in it. Amongst the items was a gold object. "Incredible. A nugget. I recall that these can be sold for a lot of money at a PokeMart. Eddy's going to flip when he sees this." The two leave the room and head back to the entrance, deciding that they explored enough. Once they exited the ruins, Edd returned Kricketune to his pokeball and he went back to the Pokemon Center and gave the nurse Kricketune's pokeball. Edd went back to the room he was sharing with his friends.
"Had fun at the ruins. sockhead?" asked Eddy.
"I ran into some trouble with some Pokemon in the ruins. Other than that, it was a fascinating experience." said Edd. He takes the nugget out of his backpack. "I also found this."
"Is that gold?!" asked Eddy.
"Yes. This one nugget is worth 5,000 pokedollars." said Edd.
"Cool." said Ed.
"Lucky." muttered Eddy. Edd stretched his arms and yawned.
"Well I'm exhausted. Let's get some sleep. Tomorrow, after I get my Kricketune back from the nurse and we've had breakfast, we can continue on to Veilstone City." said Edd. He climbed into a lower bunk and fell asleep. The next morning, Edd went to get Kricketune back from the nurse. After breakfast, the Eds grabbed their stuff and left the Pokemon Center. Edd went to the PokeMart to sell his nugget and to get some supplies. Once that was done, the Eds climb onto their bikes and leave Solaceon Town and continued their journey. Along the way, the Eds took the time to train their Pokemon some more to prepare for their next gym battle. They also battled some trainers they came across for more experience and pokedollars. Ten minutes later, they came across a path that was completely blocked by a group of Psyducks who were holding the sides of their heads.
"Why are all these Psyducks standing here?" asked Eddy.
"I'm not sure, Eddy. They look like they have bad headaches." said Edd.
"What do we do?" asked Ed.
"I'm not certain. But I heard that Psyducks sometimes get headaches every now and then." said Edd.
"Okay, then. Which way is Veilstone City?" asked Eddy. Edd pulls out the map and looks it over.
"We're in luck. The city is in that direction." said Edd, pointing to a nearby path.
"Sweet. Let's go, boys." said Eddy as he started heading down the path with the others following after him. As they continued biking, they came across some stronger trainers. They were tougher than other regular trainers they've battled before. Soon, Eddy was standing several feet away from a trainer in karate gi. The trainer takes a pokeball out of his pocket.
"Let's go, Croagunk." said the trainer, throwing a pokeball, releasing a dark blue, bipedal, frog-like Pokemon. Edd takes out the pokedex and points it at the Pokemon.
"Croagunk, the Toxic Mouth Pokemon. It inflates its poison sacs and makes a blubbering sound to intimidate foes." said the pokedex.
"Go, Zubat." said Eddy, throwing a pokeball and releasing Zubat. "Okay, Zubat, use Pluck."
"Quick, Croagunk, use Sucker Punch." said Croagunk's trainer. Croagunk quickly leaps over to Zubat and punches him across the face.
"Careful, Eddy. If an opposing Pokemon is about to attack, Sucker Punch will strike it before it can make a move." said Edd. Zubat then bites Croagunk a few times. Because Croagunk was part fighting, Pluck did super effective damage. Croagunk staggers back.
"Zubat, use Air Cutter." said Eddy. Zubat spreads his wings.
"Use Sucker Punch again, Croagunk." said Croagunk's trainer. Croagunk quickly punches Zubat in its gut before he flaps his wings, releasing a strong gust and light blue energy blades at Croagunk, hitting it. It topples back and stops with swirly eyes. Its trainer drops to his knees.
"Yes! We win, Zubat." said Eddy. Zubat suddenly froze and began to glow.
"Eddy, I believe your Zubat is evolving." said Edd. The glowing stopped and Zubat was bigger, his mouth was bigger, and he had visible eyes now. Edd takes out the pokedex and points it at the newly-evolved Zubat.
"Golbat, the Bat Pokemon and the evolved form of Zubat. Once it starts sucking blood, it does not stop until its full. It flies at night in search of prey." said the pokedex. Eddy smiles at Golbat.
"Way to go, Zu...I mean, Golbat." said Eddy. Croagunk's trainer returns Croagunk to its pokeball, gives Eddy pokedollars and walks away. Eddy returns Golbat to his pokeball. He and the others climb onto their bikes and continue biking. Soon, they arrived at the gate to Veilstone City.
"We've reached our destination, gentlemen. Veilstone City." said Edd.
"Finally. I can't wait to get to that gym." said Eddy.
"Patience, Eddy. I'm certain our Pokemon could use some rest from those battles we just had. Plus, it's almost time for lunch." said Edd. Ed's stomach started to growl.
"My tummy's hungry, Eddy." said Ed.
"Yeah, I guess I could use a bite to eat. Let's head to the Pokemon Center, boys." said Eddy. The Eds headed for the Pokemon Center. As they were inside having lunch while their Pokemon healed, Tara exited the Veilstone Gym, holding an orange badge that resembled a tatami mat.
"That gym leader was tough. She almost had me, but my Clefairy came through for me in the end." said Tara. "As soon as I get all eight badges and enter the Sinnoh League, I'll battle that smelly imbecile, Ed, and defeat him in front of thousands of people." With that, Tara walked away and left Veilstone City.
