Chapter 85: Metal Slugma

I made it back to Saffron City early this morning. I might as well start heading for Fuchsia City.

Fuchsia City was down the Cycle Path, west of Celadon, so I headed there.

Once I got there, I got on my bike and headed down the road. Out the corner of my eye, I saw a Pokémon made of lava.

Slugma

211

Fire Type

Lava Pokémon

2'04" (0.7 m)

77.2 lbs (35 kg)

It never sleeps. It had to keep moving because if it stopped, its magma body would cool and harden.

"Welcome to Slugma Park". I saw a woman. "My name is Maggie. I helped transfer all these poor guys over here. Their home was destroyed when Cinnabar Island erupted."

Poor things. "Whilst Gym Leader Blaine is sorting out new homes for them, they have been staying here to breed."

Just then, I saw 3 bikers come along. Two men and a woman to be precise. "So. This is Slugma Park" said the woman. "Yes" said one of the goons. "Slugma are worth quite a lot". Maggie got in the way. "These Slugma are not to be captured. They are here to breed until Cinnabar Island is restored."

The Leader pushed her out the way. It was my turn to defend. "Little Champion wants to battle" said the woman. "Fine. You will get it!" she shouted.

The female Biker sent out Machoke. I sent out Venomoth. Venomoth used Psychic on Machoke. It beat it in one blow.

"Fine. My turn" said the male Biker. He used Muk. Once again, Venomoth dealt with it.

"Enough!" shouted the Leader, who used a Machamp. Venomoth used Psychic. Machamp was almost taken out and it came back with Seismic Toss. This took a chunk of health from Venomoth. Venomoth used one more Psychic on Machamp and it was down.

"Fine! We will go!" said the Leader as they rode off. "Thank you" said Maggie. "Good luck on your Fuchsia City Gym battle!"
