Chapter 56: Kanto touch this

It was an early start the next morning as I got Gyarados out of the PC and looked out at the sea again. It was time.

"Ethan!" shouted Mum, as she and Professor Elm ran for me. "Make us proud" Professor Elm told me. I wiped the tears off of my face as I hugged them both. I jumped on Gyarados and surfed away.

I crossed the sea and looked behind me as New Bark Town slowly disappeared. Memories of my Johto journey were flashing before me.

As I continued, the wind felt, different. Everything around me seemed to slowly change. As everything changed around me, I saw it. The mainland. Before I got to the shoreline, I had Gyarados stop before it. I took a deep breath and jumped down.

"Do you know what you just did?!" I saw a man in a blue shirt and shorts. "You have just took your first steps onto Kanto!"

I was here. The Kanto Region. The place of my biggest challenge yet. "This place is the entry point from Johto to Kanto. First though, you will have to navigate Tohjo Falls. Get over that, and Kanto awaits!"

I thanked him. This was my big moment.

I went into the cave and saw a massive waterfall. I sent out Gyarados to Surf on it. Gyarados then used Waterfall to navigate up it. Just then, a golden horned Pokémon leapt out of the water.

Seaking

Water Type

Goldfish Pokémon

4'03" (1.3 m)

86 lbs (39 kg)

During spawning season, Seaking gather from all over, colouring the rivers a bright red.

Evolved from Goldeen at Lv 33.

Ampharos used ThunderPunch which dealt with Seaking in one blow.

I found my way out soon after. I had been taking Route 27, and many strong Trainers were waiting for me.

It was time to face my first one, Cool Trainer Megan.

Her first Pokémon was Bulbasaur. I used Typhlosion. Typhlosion used Flame Wheel on Bulbasaur, knocking it out immediately.

Megan then used Ivysaur. Typhlosion used Flame Wheel again. This almost knocked out Typhlosion. Ivysaur came back with Poison Power, poisoning Typhlosion. Typhlosion was feeling the effects on it. Typhlosion used Swift, finishing off Ivysaur.

Finally was Venusaur.

Venusaur

Grass/Poison Type

By spreading the broad petals of its flower and catching the sun's rays, it fills its body with power.

Evolved from Ivysaur at Lv 32 which in turn evolves from Bulbasaur at Lv 16.

Typhlosion used Flame Wheel. Venusaur did feel it, but it took it easily to. One more Flame Wheel would do it. Venusaur came back with Razor Leaf. This didn't do much. Typhlosion used Flame Wheel again, knocking out Venusaur.

Typhlosion was really feeling the effects of the poison. However, I had no poison healing items. I told Typhlosion that if it faints before we reach a Pokémon Centre, I would use a Revive. I told it to not battle anymore until then.

The next battle was against Cool Trainer Blake who started with a Magneton.

Magneton

Electric/Steel Type

132.3 lbs (60 kg)

Three Magnemite are linked by a strong magnetic force. Earaches will occur if you get too close.

Evolved from Magnemite at Lv 30.

I sent out Graveler for this. Magneton started with Swift, which didn't do much. Graveler then shook the ground. It looked like Magnitude, or was that Earthquake?! That was great! Magnitude was a gamble, Earthquake always gives a strong move! Magneton was down!

Blake used Quagsire next and I used Suicune. Suicune used BubbleBeam on Quagsire, which hit quite a bit. Quagsire came back with Slam. Suicune took it. Suicune finished off Quagsire with one more BubbleBeam.

Last but not least was Exeggcute. I sent out Ampharos to deal with it with a FirePunch.

I continued going along and took on the next Trainer, Brian. He only had one Pokémon, a Sandslash.

65 lbs (29.5 kg)

In an attempt to hide itself, it will run around at top speed to kick up a blinding dust storm.

Evolved from Sandshrew at Lv 22.

Suicune almost knocked it out with BubbleBeam and Sandslash came back with Slash. Suicune used Icy Wind to knock out Sandslash.

After that battle, I noticed that Typhlosion was getting a lot weaker. I told it to stick in there. It would faint soon.

The final battle was against Psychic Gilbert. He started off with Starmie.

Starmie

The centre of its body is called the core. It glows in a different colour each time it is seen.

Evolved from Staryu after subjection to a Water Stone.

Ampharos was sent out. Starmie started with BubbleBeam and Ampharos came back with a ThunderPunch. That finished it.

Next us was Exeggcute. I had Ampharos use FirePunch to deal with Exeggcute to.

Finally was Girafarig. Ampharos used ThunderPunch, which did quite a bit to Girafarig. Girafarig came back with Confusion. Ampharos finished Girafarig off with one more ThunderPunch.

Shortly after that. Typhlosion fainted. I got out a Revive and got it back up to scratch with a few Potions. That was enough for today.
