Chapter 36: Storm Conquering

I walked out of the Pokemon Centre. The breeze felt, a little bit stronger than usual. I shrugged and sent out Noctowl to use Fly.

"STOP!" shouted Chuck. "You can't go now. Wait until tomorrow." What? Ampharos was sick. Flaaffy had bought me time, but only so much. I got the medicine, saw Suicune and won a Badge. I couldn't wait much longer.

"This is a day storm that happens once a year. Trainers who try to conquer it rarely come out unharmed."

I told him that if I came out with a scar or two, fine. But Ampharos was the priority. I flew off.

The storm bashed me and Noctowl to-and-fro. I knew what I was doing.

Suddenly, a gust of wind sent Noctowl flying off into the wrong direction. We were heading towards rocks. Noctowl gave a huge flap of its wings to get us to safety. I thanked Noctowl, but I knew that was enough. We should head back.

Just then, I saw a shadow in the distance. It was big, had giant wings and, well, I couldn't make it out anymore. I took out the Pokedex.

Lugia

247

Psychic/Flying Type

Diving Pokémon

17'01" (5.2 m)

476.2 lbs (216 kg)

It is said to be the guardian of the seas. It is rumoured to have been seen on the night of a storm.

Legendary Pokémon.

I couldn't believe it. A single Pokemon was making a storm like this.

I shouted at Lugia that I needed to get to Olivine City. Instead of stopping though, it roared. Me and Noctowl were about to be blown into the water.

Just then, something saved us. It was Suicune! Suicune kept running as Lugia gave a roar. The storm was getting heavier, but Suicune kept running.

Suicune made a dash for it. Lugia was about to charge up an attack of some kind. Suicune ran faster to escape it.

We eventually got to shore. I thanked Suicune and I jumped off. As I saw it run off into the distance, I heard a voice behind me.

"I told it to come get you". I looked around to see a purple Pokemon with a huge tail. I got out my Pokedex.

"Don't. No one will know of this little meeting. My name is Mewtwo, once a Pokémon owned by Red."

I gasped. This was THE Mewtwo. The strongest Pokémon in Kanto, possibly of all time.

"That was very risky what you did, but thank you. You clearly care about other people and Pokemon. I had heard from Suicune about you, and after sensing that you were risking your life for Ampharos, we decided to give you a hand."

That speech made me remember. Ampharos! I asked Mewtwo to do one more thing; teleport me to Glitter Lighthouse.

"This will be the last thing I do for you for a while. However, you must promise me this. Stop looking up to Red so much."

I was shocked. Why?

"He is a buffoon who is corrupt with power. I don't trust him and neither should you".

I don't know what Mewtwo was saying, but I wouldn't give into this. I said I would refuse the deal and walk up.

"If that is what you wish. Fine, continue to see him as a role model."

He came up to me and took me to the top of Glitter Lighthouse. "I can't make your life decisions. But trust me; Red is not the great person you think he is." With that, Mewtwo teleported off.

I rushed to Ampharos and Jasmine. "You got the SecretPotion!" Jasmine said as she fed it to Ampharos. Slowly, Ampharos closed its eyes and went to sleep.

"A good sleep will be just what it needs" said the Sailor. "You're Flaaffy has been doing very well Ethan. Mind if I use it one more day until Ampharos gets better?" I said that was fine. "You can take on the Gym tomorrow to" Jasmine said.

Of course I would take that offer.
