Chapter 49: Art Attacks

I decided to stop in Mahogany Town before going to Blackthorn. Why? Because it was the Mahogany Town Art Festival of course!

Here is where people show their works of art to be presented. I was never much of an art person but I always looked forward to seeing what people have crafted.

"ETHAN" shouted Mum. "Thank goodness you are safe! Meddling about with those Rockets again. Okay, I won't be harsh on you this time because you took them down. Whether once and for all is unknown, but good job anyway".

I saw all the displays. There was a man painting multiple Sunflora in a vase.

Sunflora

103

Grass Type

Sun Pokémon

2'07" (0.8 m)

18.7 lbs (8.5 kg)

It converts sunlight into energy. In the darkness after sunset, it closes its petals and become still.

Evolved from Sunkern after subjection to a Sun Stone.

At that point, I spotted Ruben and Kecleon. "Oh man, this is amazing" he said. "Would you like to see my Dad's entry?"

He rushed me over to a canvas. It just had a bunch of green paint on it. I was confused. "My boy was never an art fan" Mum said. "Its amazing though" she said. "Thanks" Ruben noted. "Here comes Dad now!". He pointed to a man with a beret, a moustache and a canvas. He has a Pokémon with him with a long tail that had a green tip on the end.

Smeargle

157

Normal Type

Painter Pokémon

3'11" (1.2 m)

127.9 lbs (58 kg)

A special fluid oozes from the tip of its tail. It paints the fluid everywhere to mark its territory.

Smeargle took its tail and started slashing at the canvas, showing a similar design to the one before it. Everyone cheered, but I just stood there confused. The man looked at me. "Not to impressed I see?" he asked. "Say, aren't you Ethan? Ruben's friend?" I nodded. "My name is Tomioka. There is one more art display I would like to do right here."

I knew what he meant.

Smeargle went out and I sent out Venomoth. I told Venomoth to use Confusion, but instead it shot a pink beam at Smeagle. Venomoth had learned Psybeam! Smeargle's tail started glowing. I didn't know what was happening so another Psybeam was used, but it missed. Suddenly, Smeargle used Psybeam back, really hitting Venomoth.

"What you just saw was Sketch" Tomioka mentioned. "The last move that was used Smeargle sketches. It becomes a part of its moveset and it replaces Sketch."

Interesting. I switched out Venomoth for Graveler. Smeargle used Psybeam on Graveler and Graveler came back with Magnitude 4. Smeargle used Sketch again as Graveler used Magnitude 5. Suddenly Smeargle used Magnitude 10, knocking out Graveler.

I had enough. Typhlosion used Flame Wheel and finished it off.

"Thanks for that battle" Tomioka mentioned. "Enjoy the rest of your day!"

I did.
