Chapter 25: Sound the horns

Route 38 and I was battling a Psychic and his Pokémon.

Abra

089

Psychic Type

Psi Pokémon

2'11" (0.9m)

43 lbs (19.5 kg)

It senses impending attacks and teleports away to safety before the actual attack can strike.

Quilava used Ember on Abra, knocking out and contradicting the Pokedex at the same time. The Psychic sent out his next Pokémon.

Kadabra

064

Psychic Type

Psi Pokemon

4'03" (1.3m)

124.6 lbs (65.5 kg)

If it uses its abilities, it emits special alpha waves that cause machines to malfunction.

Evolves from Abra at Lv 16.

I kept Quilava out. Quilava used Ember on Kadabra. This did a lot of damage and also burned Kadabra. Kabadra then used Confusion. Quilava took it and then took down Kadabra with one more Ember.

"Thanks for the match" said the Psychic. "Just a quick warning down this path. You may run into a Pokémon named Stantler. They are harmless but they're horns have hypnotic abilities. People have got lost in the woods because of it."

I wandered on and then I saw a brown Pokémon with horns. Panicking, I opened the Pokedex.

Stantler

129

Normal Type

Big Horn Pokémon

4'07" (1.4 m)

157 lbs (71.2 kg)

The curved antlers subtly change the flow of air to crate a strange space where reality is distorted.

I tried to look away, but all I could see around me was on a summit of a snowy mountain. I didn't know where I was. One minute I was on a straight path.

I tried calling for help. I saw someone in the distance. I went up to them asking where I was. To my utter delight…

IT WAS RED!

I started lauding him, telling him that he is my hero and I look up to him.

Red just had a neutral expression on his face. He was silent. He didn't say a thing. Instead, he seemed to just walk right past me. I started running after him, asking him for an autograph.

"I'M NOT GIVING YOU AN AUTOGRAPH!"

I was shocked. I mean the comment was mean but he sounded a lot more soft spoken than usual.

"I'm not Red!"

I suddenly found myself in the forest with the Psychic again.

"You got got by the Stantler. Don't worry, it happens to most travelers. Come on, I'll give you a walk back to Violet City."

I thanked him and we went on our way. There was one problem though…

"That tree is STILL here?!" he shouted. "I've had it!"

I stopped him. I went up to the tree with the Squirtbottle and watered it. It started wiggling. Then all of a sudden…

Sudowoodo

106

Rock Type

Imitation Pokémon

3'11" (1.2 m)

83.8 lbs (38 kg)

It disguises itself as a tree to avoid attack. It hates water, so it will disappear if it starts raining.

This was interesting. It was a Pokémon. Regardless, I sent out Flaaffy. Flaaffy used Thunder Shock on Sudowoodo. Sudowoodo used Rock Throw back, but Flaaffy came back with another Thunder Shock. This paralyzed Sudowoodo. Sudowoodo couldn't move next turn. Flaaffy used one more Thunder Shock. After Sudowoodo failed to attack again, it was time to throw a Great Ball.

One Shake.

Two shakes.

Three shakes.

I CAUGHT IT!

"Well, I guess we won't be having any more tree troubles" said the Psychic. "Come on, Violet City is this way."

Violet City seemed like a good rest stop. The Psychic has done a good job today of warning me about Stantler.

I thanked him and booked a room.
