Chapter 18: It Comes from the Ed (see what I did there? Ah man, I ran out of Ed Phrases) + Sandbox Camp
Kevin stepped up into the league as he and the team helped solved a huge Gym Puzzle that involved making a Tree platform grow by taking Water, Solar Ray Gun, and a cloud of carbon dioxide gas to the root of he platform and made it instantly rise to Ramos, the 4th Kalos Gym Leader and the 4th Gym Leader of the Johnololan Challenge.
"Hey Ramos!" shouted Kevin. "Come on out for a Gym Challenge!"
Ramos appeared with his Pokémon ready to fight.
"Well then, ya whimpersnapper! Let's get to it!" Ramos accepted the challenge!
"Oh you're so on!" Shouted Kevin.

(Gym Leader Ramos accepts the challenge!)
"Let's see yer first Pokémon!" Shouted Ramos.
"Alright! Let's fry them, Magmortar!" Kevin sends out his strongest Fire Pokémon.
"Ludicolo! Let's get em!" Shouted Ramos. Out comes a pineapple shaped dancer with a lillypad for a hat and a seed at the top. The Pokémon also has a duck bill.
"Magmortar! Magma Cannon!" Ordered Kevin with a grim smile. Magmortar had blasted a stream of Lava over Ludicolo, but he took regular damage. "WHAT?!"
(Ludicolo 56%)
"Ludicolo! Hydropump!" Ordered Ramos.
Ludicolo spat out water to blast away the fires as well as Magmortar!
(Ludicolo strengthened the damage with a Water Gem!)
(Magmortar 0% KO)
"WHAT?! GRR! Return Magmortar!" Kevin recalled his Pokémon. "Let's see you stomp THIS! I choose you, Scizor!"
"Whatever ye have can't phase me, young 'un!" Ramos chuckled.
"Oh yeah?!" Kevin challenged, "Scizor! Bug Bite!"
Scizor bites the Gras Pokémon as it was super effective!
(Ludicolo 0% KO!)
"Well, return Ludicolo!" Ordered Ramos. "Come and get em, Trevenant!"
Ramos sent out a burning Trevenant, with Purple flames coming from his mouth and eyes as it cupped a fireball in his tree palms.
"OH SHOOT!" Kevin shouted.
"Now, Trevenant! Fire Blast!" ordered Ramos as JNL Trevenant burns Scizor with a big blast.
(Scizor 0% KO!)
"Scizor! Return!" Ordered Kevin as he looks though his Pokémon. "Grr! I choose you! Pignite!" Ordered Kevin. "Pignite! Rollout!"
Pignite rolled forward to the opponent.
(JNL Trevenant 60%)
"Trevenant! Earthquake!" Ramos ordered.
JNL Trevenant smashed the ground and out comes a rapture line that uprooted and hit Pignite!
(Pignite 20%)
Pignite strikes again only harder.
(Trevenant 0% KO!)
"Well done, laddie!" Ramos recalled his JNL Trevenant. "Let's get them Gogoat! Attack with Headbutt!"
Out comes a charging grass goat Pokémon. The Pokémon has gwo horns sticking out of his head and also has leaf-like fur pattern all over the body, the top half green, the bottom half brown.
The Gogoat attacks with a big tackle to Kevin's Pignite.
(Pignite 0% KO!)
"Return, Pignite!" Ordered Kevin. Kevin checked the score.
(Kevin has 2 Pokémon out of 5 left. Ramos has 2 out of 4 Pokémon left.)
"Gotta make this count!" Kevin pulls out his Pokéball and sends out a random Pokémon.
"Oh that reminds me." said Ed. "Jonny, can you trade me back Trevenant? I miss her."
"I miss my Gourgeist too. I'd thought you'd never ask!" Jonny and Ed traded Pokémon as Ed's Trevenant hugs Ed with a bone crushing hug with wood. And Gourgeist hugs Jonny as she's glad to see him again.
(Kevin sent out Electivire!)
"Electivire! Cross Chop!" Ordered Kevin.
The Electivire came in with a big chop to Gogoat! It was super effective!
(Gogoat 0% KO!)
"My final, Pokémon..." Said Ramos as he pets his Pokémon and recalled it.
(Ost: Liquid Crystal: Kantonian Gym Leader Remastered)
"Well now! Here we go!" Ramos sends out his Kantonian starter. "Venusaur!"
Out comes a big green dinosaur with a big flower on his back, the flower also had a small jungle growing on Venusaur.
"And now! MEGA EVOLVE!" Ramos started Mega Evolution with his Mega Glove.
And out comes a Venusaur with a bigger prehistoric flower on his back and even more leaves.
"Like that's gonna intimidate me!" Kevin tried being brave.
"Oh yeah?!" challenged Ramos. "Why doncha try this! Mega Venusaur! Earthquake!"
Mega Venusaur stomped his foot on the ground and shook down a giant tree branch from the Tree Stadium that hit Electivire.
(Electivire 0% KO!)
"Grr! Electivire! Return!" said Kevin as he has a last hope on his final Pokémon. "Come on out, Scrafty!"
Out comes a hooded Pokémon who also had baggy pants. The Pokémon has his hands clenched into fists, showing its ready to fight.
"And now watch this! Mega Evolve!" Kevin used his Mega Glove to mega evolve his Pokémon, though it has been a long time without using it since the first battle with Team Rocket Junior.
And out comes the same Pokémon but this time, it wielded weapons and wore jewelry. The Pokémon also has the head mask revealing golden teeth.
"Mega Scrafty! Close Blade attack!" ordered Kevin.
"Mega Venusaur! Sludge Bomb!" Ordered Ramos.
Mega Venusaur blasted a hunk of poison to Mega Scrafty, but Mega Scrafty still charged forward with a slicing attack which was a critical hit!)
(M Venusaur 40%
M Scrafty 56% Poison!)
"Oh dear!" shouted Ramos. "Not this time! Venusar! Earthquake! Take him down!"
Mega Venusar used every last of its power to take down Mega Scrafty as upspringing metal holes started rising towards Kevin's last Pokémon.
"SCRAFTY!" Kevin shouted.
And with that, Scrafty took all the hits!
...
...
Kevin whited out?!...
... NO!
(Scrafty heard your cry qnd braced itself!)
(Scrafty also beat Poison with Shed Skin!)
(M Scrafty 1%)
(Scrafty looked like he's gonna cry!)
"Mega Scrafty! Finish him off! Bullet Tap" Ordered Kevin.
"NOOO!" Ramos shouted.
Mega Scrafty took a weapon out and shot Venusaur with a small spitball that hurts a lot.
(Venusaur 0% KO!)
(Kevin wins!)
(Ost: Gym Leader Victory Theme!)
"SCRAFTY!" Kevin cheered.
"Guess you and yer Pokémon had done EVERYTHING in yer will to defeat me... Heheh... Here you go, the Seed Badge!" Ramos congradulated Kevin.
(Kevin won:
+$8
+Seed Badge
+TM 178: Energy Ball
+ Bonus: Miracle Seed)
The Cul De Sac Kids ran to Kevin and Scrafty, who turned normal. Scrafty fell over due to exhaustion. Kevin lifted his pal up with a hug.
"We did it pal! We defeated the gym leader!" Shouted Kevin. Scrafty coughed. Kevin then looked to his team. "WHAT?! My Scrafty is my friend! So what?!"
"No, no, laddie!" said Ramos. "This is natural! Yer Pokémon grew attached to ya and that's why he chose, at his best, to survive!"
"Well, thanks, sir..." said Kevin.
"You really did it, Kevin." Nazz congradulated Kevin.
"Excellent work..." groaned Eddy.
"Well now, let's head back to the Pokémon center." Kevin left to get his Pokémon restored.
Pokémon Refresh Moment
(Ed, Edd, and Eddy) (+Bonus: Kevin)
(Ed Time!)
(Pokémon Translation: By Rotom Pokédex)
Ed sent out Trevenant, JNL Lilligant, and Thwackey.
The three hugs their master in a bone crushing bear hug. Ed hugs back with the same.
"You're so kind!" Said Ed as he finds a string and some flowers. He made flower crowns for their Pokémon. The Pokémon LOVED the flower crowns. "All hail the mighty monsters! I shall obey EVERYWORD you say!"
"(First order: Cuddle!)" Said Trevenant as Ed cuddled with his adopted fully grown stepdaughter. Then with Lilligant and then Thwackey.
Quilava then popped out of his Pokéball and then sniffed for berries. Upon sniffing through Ed's stuff, he found some gravy and ate some.
"(I love my master!)" Said JNL Lilligant as Ed pets her glowing flower. "(I'm so sorry for crying at that last battle!)"
"(So am I!)" Said Thwackey.
"(Will you three shut up?! I'm trying to eat!)" said Quilava.
SUMO DO WA!
Quilava gets tossed into the fence by the Grass Pokémon.
(Double D Time!)
Mimikyu sat next to Edd, who's reading a Pokémon book. She blushed as she cuddled with Double D. Double D blushed as well as he cuddled with his little princess. Suddenly...
"MINE!" said Mimikyu as she swallowed Double D inside her costume. Edd refused to open his eyes because if he does, he'll die.
"M - Mimikyu! Could you please let me go?!" asked Double D.
"(Well, you did ask nicely, so I'll let you go.)" Mimikyu sighed. "(I'm so sorry...)" She sobs.
"Aw don't cry, Mimikyu." Edd carried Mimikyu im his arms. "I'll take good care of you."
Mimikyu giggled as she got off and joined Edd in reading the book. Soon, all of Edd's Pokémon popped out and joined Edd in reading, but are close to him.
Edd chuckled as he turned the page.
(Eddy Time!)
"And!" Eddy kicks the can with his Pokémon. "HE SCORES! EDDY IS YOUR NEW CROWNED CHAMPION!"
But no one is amused.
"Aw come on!" said Eddy. Everyone stood by. "Look, I know I'm not perfect, but I just wanna be the best role model for my Pokémon. I may even push limits or amuse myself, but being a trainer is hard..."
Raboot and Prinplup walked to Eddy and pats his back as he sat down.
Everyone of his Pokémon gelt a bit happy and hugged Eddy. Dracosaurus fetched a log from a site far away and dropped the log.
"(I GOT THE STICK!)" Dracosaurus called out.
"Well, at least we have some firewood." said Eddy as he gets licked by his pet Dinosaur Dragon. Eddy laughs as his Pokémon played with him.
(Bonus: Kevin time!)
"And one! And two! And three! And four!" Kevin and his Pokémon are doing push ups to limber themselves, but there was a hard struggle with Velocizolt. "No worries, Velocizolt! When we're fimished, you're gonna be one tough champ like the rest of us!"
"(I - I dunno if I can do it...)" Whimpered the Electric Dinosaur.
"(Trust me, homie!)" Said JNL Scrafty. "(After training, you'll withstand three Earthquake attacks like I just did!)"
"(O - Okay...)" The Velocizolt trained with Kevin's Pokémon.
(Curry time!)
As the girls made dinner with Rolf as an expertize in Cooking Curry and Berry Pastry, the group was about to make the finishing touches on the curry.
"I feel like something's missing." said Nazz.
"Like what? We got all of the ingredients down. We got Sausages, Beef Patties, and Lots of Potatoes." said Lee.
"And it's not like we can add anymore ingredients." Marie added.
"Though I would love some more!" Said May.
"Just put your heart in it." said Jimmy as he takes some energy and somehow poured a glowing heart into the Curry, which made it light up.
"Curry's done!" Replied Rolf.
Everyone was about to take their first bite. And when they did...
...
THEY LOVED IT! A LOT!
(Grade Charizard Mastery Chef!)
Everyone then went to sleep in their camping sites, recalled every Pokémon in their Pokeballs and slept through the night in Bone Hill. Why? The best view of Nutria City.
Sleep well, heroes.
"You're gonna need it..." replied a familiar voice, as he held an Arcane Core. He walks away to the next city.
