40. Chapter 40: Festival Fiasco

Chapter 40: Festival Fiasco

I was back in Ecruteak City for a bit of breather, but also for the Ecruteak Festival, a celebration of the culture of Johto, known for their yearly surprise.

I told the gang to go off and enjoy themselves but told Togepi to stay with me so that we didn't have a repeat of yesterday. Togepi didn't mind though.

One of the first things we did was check out the food. They had a game there were you had to eat as many jelly filled doughnuts as possible, with your Pokémon playing to. The winner was a Lickitung.

Lickitung

178

Normal Type

Licking Pokémon

3'11" (1.2 m)

144.4 lbs (65.5 kg)

Its long tongue, slathered with a gooey saliva, sticks to anything, so it is very useful.

The instruments were also amazing. Drums and kotos filled the air of the Festival. It was almost magical.

There was a Ferris wheel to. I rode it to the top and got a good look at the Johto Region. It was beautiful.

Suddenly, the power went out. Everywhere around just went black. Everyone was screaming. The Ferris wheel slowly turned round as the emergency power went on to get everyone off. Something was not right.

Then the power went back on, but there was one problem…

ALL THE POKEMON WERE GONE! Including mine savour for Togepi!

Everyone started panicking even more. The Festival couldn't go on with no Pokémon.

I told everyone to relax. We wouldn't find our Pokémon by running around screaming. We needed to find clues. I suggested checking the power supply.

The power supply had been tampered with. This wasn't a fuse. Somebody did this on purpose. Could it have been Team Rocket?

I found another clue; it was slobber covered rosette. I picked it up, though I clearly didn't want to.

"That's what Lickitung won!" said a Trainer, noticing a trail of saliva. "Follow the trail."

The trail lead into the Dance Theatre. "It's bolted shut!" said another Trainer. I told Togepi to used Metronome. Metronome turned into Karate Chop, breaking the basement door. We all went down.

It led to a long tunnel. We all went down it. We found ourselves in a lift, and were bolted up.

When the lift stopped at the top, we saw a view of Ecruteak City, and all our Pokémon were there! They were holding up a banner saying "Ecruteak". This was the big surprise.

Fireworks started going off all around. It seemed Togepi wanted to join, so I asked the man controlling the lift if there was a way to do so. He said he could bring Togepi down, but then I noticed something;

TOGEPI WAS EVOLVING!

Everyone seemed shocked. "It takes a lot of effort to evolve a Togepi" one of them said.

When the glowing died down, Togepi was a new Pokémon.

Togetic

047

Normal/Flying Type

Happiness Pokémon

2'00" (0.6 m)

7.1 lbs (3.2 kg)

They say that it will appear before kindhearted, caring people and shower them with happiness.

Evolved from the Baby Pokémon Togepi when levelled up with max happiness.

Togetic flew down and joined the group.

What a day.
