53. Chapter 53: Dragons Den Z

Chapter 53: Dragon's Den Z

I was kind of mad at Clair for making me wait another day for my Badge, but on the bright side, it would give me a chance to check out the Dragons Den. This was a place where many Dragon Type Pokémon may gather. It is a sacred place.

I entered Dragons Den after getting Gyarados and saw Clair. I asked about the Badge but she stopped me. "Not the priority. We have an unwanted visitor" she said. I asked her what she meant. "Someone is trying to get the Dragon Fang".

I thought she was being silly at this point, so I walked on and bumped into, nothing? This was weird. It felt like an invisible wall blocking the way. I skimmed the invisible wall and saw what was making it. A pink humanoid Pokémon was waving its hands around.

Mr Mime

156

Psychic Type

Barrier Pokémon

4'03" (1.3 m)

120.2 lbs (54.5 kg)

Its fingertips emit a peculiar force field that hardens air to create an actual wall.

"Where is your master?" asked Clair. Mr Mime didn't say anything. It just ran off, keeping the wall up. We saw it running down the cave.

"It looks like a Light Screen" Clair said. "Quick. Hit is with a physical move."

I called out Typhlosion and told Clair that it had learned a move called Swift recently. Clair nodded. "Do it". I ordered Typhlosion to use Swift, which was followed by Typlhosion firing multiple stars and the Light Screen. These hit Mr Mime, knocking it down. This made Mr Mime loose tracks, killing the Light Screen. "Come on" Clair said.

We continued down Dragon's Den. I rode Gyarados over whirlpools and we finally saw the Dragon Fang. "That's it" said Clair.

At that moment, a grey, winged Pokémon swooped down and grabbed the Dragon Fang.

Skarmory

198

Steel/Flying Type

Armor Bird Pokémon

5'07" (1.7 m)

111.3 lbs (50.5 kg)

After nestling in bramble bushes, the wings of its chicks grow hard from scratches by thorns.

Skarmory flew past us and dropped the Dragon Fang into the hands of a man dressed in all purple. "Thank you Skarmory" he said.

"Kennet" Claire said. "Why are you here?" Kennet gave a laugh. "Oh darling. You know why. A Dragon Fang is worth a lot. If I bring this back, then I will be rich."

I knew though that this man would not get out. It was time for a battle.

Kennet sent in Mr Mime and I used Typhlosion. Typhlosion started with Flame Wheel which hit Mr Mime. However, Mr Mime used Light Screen afterwards. "Flame Wheels damage will now be halved" Clair said. "Try Swift instead". That sounded like a plan. Typhlosion used Swift, but Mr Mime used Reflect. "Now Swift will do half damage" Clair said. "Just try and hit it". Typhlosion used Flame Wheel, which of course Mr Mime took. Mr Mime came back with Psybeam however, confusing Typhlosion. Typhlosion hit itself the next turn. Mr Mime then used a stronger move; Zap Cannon! It shot a black ball of electricity at Typlosion, which hit it for a lot and paralyzed it. Typhlosion managed to get in one more Flame Wheel though which knocked out Mr Mime with a Critical Hit.

Next was Skarmory. Skarmory used Fury Attack on Typhlosion which knocked it out.

I sent out Ampharos next. This was bad, especially with the Light Screen still up. Ampharos did however come in with its new move FirePunch, which hit Skarmory. Skarmory came back with Steel Wing. Typhlosion resisted it, but this was still a tough match. Suddenly, a light surrounded Skarmory came and then faded. "The Light Screen wore off!" Clair said. Just what I needed. Ampharos came in with ThunderPunch. It knocked out Skarmory.

"NO!" said Kennet. I took the Dragon Fang off of him. "You'll pay for this!" he said as he went off. "No point going after him" said Clair. "He will get his comeuppance some day." After that, she took out a Badge. "You deserve this" she said, giving me the Rising Badge. She also gave me TM24 for Dragon Breath. "You may also keep the Dragon Fang. It powers up Dragon Type moves".

At that point, a Dratini popped its head out of the water. I went to pet it, but it zoomed off at the speed of light. "That's why he really came. To steal this rare Dratini. It knows Extremespeed. Very few of them know it. Come on, let's get out of here."

Outside, I got a call from Professor Elm. "Ethan! You got your final Badge! Next time you have a moment, come back to New Bark Town!" I was planning on heading back there anyway. I had not visited home since I didn't have a Badge, and I was feeling homesick as heck. "New Bark Town is closer than you think" Clair told me. "Just go South down Route 45. That should be about a day's hike. By the end of the day, you should reach Route 46. New Bark is about a 2 hour walk from there."

I thanked Clair. After New Bark Town, it was onto the Indigo Plateau.
