43. Chapter 43: Too Lake for me

Chapter 43: Too Lake for me

I was now in Mahogany Town, but I thought I had seen something behind a tree on Route 42. So I picked up Paras and went to use Cut on the tree.

I chopped it down and to my surprise, it was Suicune! Suicune gave me a nod and darted off.

"Oh, continuing to give chase are we?!" It was Eusine. He looked stressed.

"You are unbelievable. Oh yes, I saw what happened. I'm not just talking about just now, I'm talking back at Olivine. Suicune came to your aid."

I was intimidated by him.

"Oh, and who should save you? Only the strongest Pokémon of them all, Mewtwo." He was fuming so hard I was scared that he would use Flamethrower.

"Nevermind. I think we need to call a truce." I wasn't sure if truce was the right word. I never saw Eusine as an enemy. "Come with me, back to Mahogony Town. Oh, and change your Pokemon. Won't get far with a Paras now will we."

We met in the Mahogany Town shop. Mahogany doesn't have a traditional Pokemart. It just has a normal shop called "Just a Souvenir Shop".

"Something is going on at the Lake Of Rage" Eusine said, keeping his voice down. I asked him why he was whispering. Eusine subtly eyed the creepy old man who ran the shop. He just stared at us, as did his Meowth.

Meowth

136

Normal Type

Scratch Cat Pokémon

1'04" (0.4 m)

9.3 lbs (4.2 kg)

It loves anything that shines. It especially adores coins that it picks up and secretly hoards.

"I believe that they are radio frequencies. Not like the ones at Goldenrod Tower, but frequencies that are making the Pokémon go crazy over there."

The creepy old man raised his eyebrows. "Crazy?" he asked. Eusine tried to cover up the conversation. "Yeah. My Pokémon go crazy for the DJ Mary show. Did you hear her Chikorita evolved?" He showed me a picture of DJ Mary from the newspaper with her new Pokémon. It's description was written on the back.

Bayleef

002

Grass Type

Leaf Pokémon

3'11" (1.2 m)

34.8 lbs (15.8 kg)

The scent of spices comes from around its neck. Somehow, sniffing it makes you want to fight.

Evolved from Chikorita at Lv 16.

The man was getting suspicious. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask the two of you to leave this place."

Eusine got up. "You can't kick us out like this." The man eyed the two of us. A stare like that forced us out of the store.

"There is something fishy about that place" Eusine mentioned. "I think what we should do tomorrow is go to the Lake Of Rage and see how it's acting up."

What did he mean by it?

"Oh, the Red Gyarados. In recent years, Pokemon of different colorations have cropping up. They are very rare. You have a 1 in 8192 chance of even seeing one. The Gyarados is one of those cases. Listen. I don't like you. But I think these frequencies are something serious. We will work together just this once. If you do a good job, I will leave Suicune alone."

I guess I could take the offer, but I wanted to help him anyway. He doesn't have to leave Suicune alone necessarily, but rather stop scolding me for getting near it.

"Fine. That will do. Tomorrow we head for Lake Of Rage."
