Chapter 8

It is around the afternoon and Team RWBY are on their way to join the Park-Pokemon Catching Contest. On their way over, they noticed a very, very, very large tree at the heart of the park. The tree is larger than the skyscrapers in all of Central City. "Daaaaannng!" Yang says in astonishment when seeing the tree, "How the heck did we miss that huge thing?" "Probably we didn't look up when we were exploring." Weiss was being a sass about it. "Quit being a sass, Weiss." Blake looked up the megadex, "That is the Yggdrasil Tree, the oldest and largest tree in the world. The tree grew on a meteor site 1200 years ago and it has been growing ever since. Some people believed that the meteor is what cause this tree to stay alive, but scientist are unsure and have been researching it since the colonization 20 years ago." "Wow," Ruby went as she heard all of that, "who knew meteors can do that." "It's just a theory, Ruby. They're still studying the tree, but it is almost impossible to reach the meteor."

The four then made their way towards the site where the competition is being held. They signed up and wait for the competition to begin. However, they encounter a familiar face. "HEY! OVER HERE!" They turn around and see Timmy running for them. "Hey, Timmy." Yang greats the child with a wave. "How have you been?" Ruby asked. "I'm doing good. And thank you again for helping me yesterday." "So these are the four trainers?" another young boy appeared on the scene. "Look like old ladies if you ask me." "WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Yang's eyes turn red and the sound of fire cracking as she makes a fist. Ruby tries to calm her down and make sure she doesn't hurt a 5 year old. "Calm down, sis!" The boy just walked away while giving them the thumbs down. "Who was that rude little brat." Weiss asked with some anger. "That was Anthony, he's the sterotypical bully at my school. He always makes fun of me and my love for flowers. Well, catch ya' later! And best of luck!" Timmy then runs towards his parents at the picnic area.

Not long after that, they met up with Rusty. "Hello, Rusty." Ruby greets the young man. "Oh hey there...uhhhhh..." "Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang." "Ruby, right. Sorry got to get ready." Weiss looked down and noticed the sport ball and a piece of cloth he has in his hands. "You're entering the competition too?" "Yeah, I had no luck finding any wild pokemon in the alleyways. What about you girls?" Ruby and Yang nod their heads because they had no luck either. "Man! I was hoping to find like a poison-type since poison-types are common in cities like a Grimer, or a Trubbish. I wonder if-" "GET YOUR COLORED POKEBALLS! WHY STICK WITH REGULAR RED POKEBALLS WHEN YOU CAN USE DIFFERENT COLORED POKEBALLS TO CAPTURE POKEMON!" Rusty immediately ran up to the stall, "Oh my Dunsparce, I'll take some!" Team RWBY just walked away until they met another familiar face.

"HEEEEEYY!" It is May with a few other people. "Hey there, Ruby! Here for the competition? I hope I can get some pokemon I've never seen before!" The four just stand there and suddenly start to remember Nora back on Remnant. "Soooooo...who are your new friends?" Ruby asked after making eye contact with the five people. "Oh, these are my new friends and my new rivals. This is Dawn from the Sinnoh Region and a pokemon coordinator." "Hi there!" "This is Shauna from the Kalos Region. She is training to be a pokemon performer." "Hello!" "And these are her friends, Tierno and Trevor." "Sup ladies!" Trevor took a picture, "Nice to meet you four." "And finally, this is Leaf from the Kanto Region." "Nice to meet you." The four greet them then annoyance came...in the form of Rusty. Rusty started talking to them and Team RWBY just stepped away.

Fireworks went up in the air to signal the starting ceremony. "Greeting everyone of Central City Park. Nice to see you all again. Today we have some of our veteran trainers that come by and hope to catch pokemon and win prizes like they do every week since they have nothing better to do." Some people in the audience just laughed a little. "But we also got some new faces here! For the new competitors, let me tell you the rules." The announcer pulled out a sports ball. "First, this is your sports ball. Everyone should have at least twenty. These are proof that you are participating in the tournament. Anyone uses any other pokeballs in the competition is disqualified. Next, you can use only one pokemon that you register. And the last part, you can only catch two pokemon. If you have more than two, you have to release one of them. And now say hello to our judges! Nurse Joy!" "I'm glad to be here!" "Wait," Yang says, "she is also a judge?" "Next we have our pokemon connoisseur, Conor!" "Bonjour! It is nice to see new faces in the contest! A beautiful fresh air and a warm welcoming to spice the tournament up." "And finally, one of the members of the Elite Four and leader of Team Mystic, Blanche!" "It is fantastic to be here! I would love to see what type of pokemon they would find in our fantastico park!" "Alright, everyone ready...set...*BANG* GO CATCHEM' ALL!"

Everyone ran into the many bushes and grasses of the park to find any pokemon for the contest.

Ruby is checking the bush area where there are lots of berries. Chika smells some of them and picked out a pinkish, heart-shaped one and gave it to Ruby. "What is this?" Ruby asked. She pulled out her megadex to see what kind of berry it is. "Lets see here. ...Pecha Berry. A sweet and delicious berry that is very tender. Sometimes it can be used to create a poffin and it is used to cure any poisonous effects." Chika took a bite out of one of the pecha berries and is delighted. Ruby then took a bite and finds them very sweet. "THIS! IS! GOOOOOOOOOD!"

Blake is at one of the ponds with her fishing rod with an old man wearing a grey outfit and a straw hat also fishing. Blake waits patiently till the old man started talking. "Today's weather is great, isn't it?" "Yeah." she says as she smiles a little. Until she felt a big tug on the rod and starts reeling it in. After a huge battle of willpower, Blake yank the rod and reeled in...a...Magikarp! Blake catches it into her arms and starts drooling. Then immediately, Blake takes a big bite. However,... "YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW!" Blake dropped the Magikarp back into the water and starts rolling in pain while covering her mouth. She is screaming, but has her mouth covered so she is only letting out muffled screams along with tears streaming down her face.

The old man was laughing, "For someone your age, you made a rookie mistake. You see, Magikarps barely have any meat on them so they are just scales and bones which makes them mighty hardy." Blake made a huge mistake.

In Yang's case, she and Chimmy went to an area with trees yet she noticed something on the bark. She touched the strange substance on the tree and noticed that it is sticky and smells sweet. "What is this? What do you think, Chimmy?" She looked around and noticed Chimmy isn't around. "Chimmy?" she began to worry, "Chimmy? Chimmy, where are you?" She then heard a licking sound and looked up. It was Chimmy licking the sap substance on the tree. "Chimmy!" she then laughed. She laughed until she heard a sucking sound coming from one of the other trees. She looked around and saw something. It looked like a giant rhinoceros beetle sucking the sap.

"What the heck is that?" She pulled out her megadex to find out what is. "Heracross. The single horn pokemon. Heracross charges in a straight line at its foe, slips beneath the foe's grasp, and then scoops up and hurls the opponent with its mighty horn. This Pokémon even has enough power to topple a massive tree. Heracross has sharp claws on its feet. These are planted firmly into the ground or the bark of a tree, giving the Pokémon a secure and solid footing to forcefully fling away foes with its proud horn. It is usually docile, but if it is disturbed while sipping honey, it chases off the intruder with its horn." "I see. And it is a fighting and bug-type. Its moves are arm thrust, night slash that's handy against psychics, horn attack, and aerial ace. Nice line up of moves. If I'm right, bug-types are weak against fire-types. Alright Chimmy, lets catch this bugger!"

Chimmy jumps down and is ready for combat. "Chimmy, use scratch!" Chimmy jumps up into the air and scratched Heracross off the tree. Heracross is now angry at Chimmy and started using arm thrust. "Dodge all those strikes Chimmy!" Chimmy jump from side to side to avoid Heracross' arm thrust. "Now use ember!" Chimmy use ember on Heracross and it is super effective. Not only that, it also caused the burn condition. "Alright!" However, Heracross' ability is guts and that is not good. Heracross' eyes glow red and is enveloped a crimson aura. "Huh-oh." Yang went, realizing that their in big trouble. Heracross then uses aerial ace and flies straight towards Chimmy at blinding speed. "Watch out!" she yelled. But too late. Heracross hits Chimmy and did a critical hit. "Hang in there, Chimmy! Use ember again!"

Chimmy got back up and uses ember right before Heracross does a mega horn. The embers managed to blind Heracross as it continues to charge straight forward. "Chimmy! Move!" Chimmy jumped out of the way as Heracross hits a tree. "Here I go!" Yang throws the sports ball at the wounded and unconscious Heracross and it gets caught in the sports ball. Then the ball drops and shakes around with the blinking red light. Yang glares at the ball and hoping that it would stay in there. Then after a few moments, it stopped. "Wahoooooo! I got a Heracross!" Yang went as she held the ball in the air and Chimmy starts to do his victory dance. "Alright, just one more then we should be golden. I think I'll call you...Xiao!"

Back at the berry bushes, Chika and Ruby collected some berries to take on the road. "With these berries, we should be able to cure whatever status conditions we want." As Chika picked a few berries right before something fell on top of her. It was a Sewaddle that later used bug bite on Chika's leaf. Chika screams and runs around to shake off the pesky bug-type. "What pokemon is that?" Ruby pulled out her megadex while Chika runs around in pain. "Sewaddle. The sewing pokemon. This Pokémon makes clothes for itself. It chews up leaves and sews them with sticky thread extruded from its mouth. Since this Pokémon makes its own clothes out of leaves, it is a popular mascot for fashion designers." 'Well, it is cute.' Ruby thought. She looks at the moves list and it shows it has tackle, string shot, and, of course, bug bite.

Then Chika shook Sewaddle off. Sewaddle looks like its telling them to 'bring it on'. "So you like to fight, eh?" Ruby says with a smirk. "Since you are part grass-type, here's something to start off! Chika use poison powder!" Chika waved her leaf and purple powder spread on the field right into Sewaddle. Sewaddle is now poison. "Alright, use razor leaf." Chika swirled her leaf and throws a few leaves at Sewaddle. Sewaddle is having a hard time to move due to the poison, but managed to use string shot to move around within the bushes. "Wait for it, Chika." Chika stands her ground and waits for the right opportunity to strike as the sound of the leaves can be heard from everywhere.

Then Sewaddle starts falling down with bug bite ready. "NOW! Use tackle!" Chika jumps up and tackle Sewaddle in mid-air. "Sports ball, go!" Ruby threw the sports ball and catches it. Like Yang, she has to wait until the ball stops shacking and the light stops blinking. After a few minutes, the ball stops. "ALRIGHT!" Ruby screams as she holds the ball up in the air, "I CAUGHT A SEWADDLE!" Then she releases Sewaddle who is still poison and gave it a pecha berry. Sewaddle starts to feel better and starts to perch on Ruby's shoulder to show its gratitude by rubbing its cheek on Ruby's. Chika then hides behind the bushes to avoid being bug bitten again. "You need a name. You can be sweet yet your a toughy. Your skill with string shot and using your environment is amazing. I know! I'll call you...Stringer!"

Weiss is looking around some of the bushes near the fountain with Oswald. "Where can we get some pokemon that are rare in this park?" she said out loud. Oswald noticed something glowing and alerts Weiss. "What is it?" Oswald pointed out the strange glow in one of the bushes and they take a look. They move some of the branches and got a better look. Weiss' eyes widen as she looks at the glowing object which turns out to be...

AN: Hey there everybody! Hope you like my latest chapter and it's the longest I've ever done. There is something I have to tell you guys. The New Found Region is actually some idea I had for a Pokemon game that has the 3D graphics and it is supposed to be an MMO. Not only that, it would have not just the original Pokemon from the games but also fan-games too. Plus, real-time combat with dodging, moving around, like in Smash Bros. But it was just an idea I had since I'm not exactly a programmer. Just to let you guys know.

Make sure you leave a review and follow/favorite. Later!
