Chapter 83: Old place, new faces
With my pass in hand, it was time to head on the Magnet Train. I scanned in and got on the bullet train. This thing went hundreds of miles and hour but still felt very smooth. Literally you could put a cup of water on a table whilst it's going at top speed and you wouldn't see any ripples in it.
After 2 hours, I was back in Goldenrod. I had been in Kanto just a few weeks, but it felt like a lifetime. Feeling the Johto air felt so weird.
Anyway. I was to do two things during my two days in Johto. Today I was going to see Kris.
I walked down Route 34 to the Day Care. I knocked on the door and saw a Trainer taking his Pokémon out with him, along with an egg. He was taking out a Nidorino and a Lapras.
Nidorino
099
Poison Type
Poison Pin Pokémon
2'11" (0.9 m)
43 lbs (19.5 kg)
Quick to anger, it stabs enemies with its horn to inject a powerful poison when it becomes agitated.
Evolved from Nidoran at Lv 16.
"Yes. I will prove that Lapras can learn Horn Drill!" he shouted, laughing like a villain from a spy movie. I turned my head to sea Mia. "Ethan! Congratulations!" she said, hugging me. "Maurice! Ethan's here!" Maurice came running out. "My boy, look how you've grown!"
Kris came running down. "Ethan!" She then gave me an even tighter hug. "Came to see an old friend?!" Kris stopped me before I could say anything. "I want to show you something."
She brought me to a new pen, where I saw two Pokémon. One was blue and had a large blue ball like tail.

"The one with the big tail is called Azurill" Kris said. "The one with the jagged arms is called Wynaut. We have a problem with them" Kris noted. "They haven't been used in battle yet. " I asked why. "They both only know Splash and Charm, with Wynaut also getting Encore."
That wasn't good. They couldn't fight with those moves.
"He is here!" shouted Mia. "The guest!" Kris said. "We did call someone in to help us" Kris said. "Come and meet him."
To my surprise, it was Mr Pokémon! "Ethan! Long-time no see!" he said. "My oh my, last time I saw you you didn't have a Badge. Now look at you, the Champion!" Kris was gleeful. "You know each other?" she asked. "Know each other? I helped Ethan start his journey! I gave him the Mystery Egg! Did it hatch?" Kris nodded. "Yep, and it was a Togepi!" Mr Pokémon was amazed. "That is a rare one!" he mentioned.
"Pardon me, let's get to the matter at hand" he said. "Bring those two Pokémon out here". Azurill and Wynaut ran in. "Oh my. It's not every day you see an Azurill or a Wynaut" he pointed out. "I heard your worries. But I have a solution". From his bag he took out a small device. "This is called an EXP share. Give it to a Pokémon and they will get a fraction of the EXP from another Pokémon that gained some." Maurice smiled. "Thank you so much" he said.
"Feel free to sleep here" Mia said. I did.
