Chapter 72: Killer Nidoqueen

"We would advise you to stay around this area until those kids return with Graveler" said Nurse Joy. I was bummed. I would lose a day of journeying. "Well, why don't you go to the Power Plant?" asked Nurse Joy. "Lots of training would help you in the long run."

I took Gyarados out of the PC and surfed on over to the Power Plant. I also decided to take Nidorina with me. When I got to the Power Plant, there was panic. "Where is it?!" one of the workers shouted. I asked what was going on. "One of the machine parts has been stolen!" shouted another worker. "By a member of Team Rocket!" I was confused. I had defeated the last member. "It was days beforehand! We've only just noticed!"

I knew where it must be. Back to Cerulean City.

I told Nurse Joy that I needed to nip back to Cerulean and grab the Machine Part. It was in the Gym. I took it and cycled all the way back to the Power Plant., surfing as well of course.

"Okay. I need to carefully put the part in here" said a worker. "Let's connect it up." He hooked it up and started singing. "The red thingy connects to the yellow whatsit. The yellow whatsit connects to the blue doodah. The blue doodah connects to the green whatchamacallit."

At that point, sparks started flying everywhere. "Oh no! I got the wrong thing!" Electricity kept coming out of the machine. "What will we do?" the Worker shouted. I wanted to use Graveler to take the electricity, but of course I didn't have Graveler.

"Wait! I know what!" A female worker came over and gave me a small stone. "I heard about my Daughter Edna and what she did. You have her Nidorina now. Use this Moon Stone to evolve it into Nidoqueen, which is a Ground Type. It will take the electricity."

That sounded like a plan. I sent out Nidorina and gave it the Moon Stone. Nidorina started glowing all over. When the glowing died down, it was a Nidoqueen.

Nidoqueen

097

Poison/Ground Type

Drill Pokémon

4'03" (1.3 m)

132.3 lbs (60 kg)

Its body is covered with needle-like scales. It never shows signs of shrinking from any attack.

Evolved from Nidorina after exposure to a Moon Stone which in turn evolves from Nidoran .

Nidoqueen covered the machine and took all the electricity. Being a Ground Type, it didn't feel a thing. It did this until the sparking stopped.

"Thanks a lot" said Edna's Mum. "If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have stopped it." At that point, I had a call on my Pokegear. It was from Nurse Joy. "I've found her." I told them I was going back over. "I'll go to" Edna's Mum told me. "I need to give her a good talking."

"You need to understand that forcefully trading someone's Pokémon is wrong" Edna's Mum told Edna. "I am sorry" Edna told me. "Golem wouldn't listen to me anyway." I was confused. She had Graveler. "No. As soon as I got Graveler, it evolved into a Golem!"

Golem

036

Rock/Ground Type

Megaton Pokémon

4'07" (1.4 m)

661.4 lbs (300 kg)

It is capable of blowing itself up. It uses this explosive force to jump from mountain to mountain.

Evolved from Graveler after trading which in turn evolves from Geodude at Lv 25.

"Thank you for evolving Nidorina" Edna told me. "I won't forcefully trade again, I promise!" Edna's Mum gave a smile. "I should also thank you for helping get that part back. For some reason the Radio Tower in Lavender Town stopped working and it turns out that was the reason. I have let them know what's happened. Lavender Town is the next town over. Have a pop in."

I would do that. Now with Golem.
