Key Items from the games like the Old Rod and Poketch will come into play here as well! Poketch won't in this chapter though.
Now on with the show!
Chapter 3: Exploring Jublife & Water Type Pokemon!
It was the night of their 2nd day on their Pokemon adventure, and Dipper, Mabel, and Soos were tuckered out. They had paid for an average room, enough money to stay for at least 2 days, including this night.
"I think I'm going to walk around outside." Dipper said.
"Dipper it's snowing out. You sure you want to?" Mabel asked.
"Yeah why not. Besides, I've been hot all day." Dipper replied, and he left the room.
He walked around Jubilife, wanting to find some sort of interesting attraction. He saw the West exit to the city and went toward it, hoping to find some new Pokemon to record in the Pokedex.
"I wonder what kind of new Pokemon I'll be able to find out this way." Dipper said to himself, however, a man nearby overheard him.
"Sorry kid, but all that's out that way is nothing but water." the man said.
"So I can't find any new Pokemon?" Dipper asked.
"You can still find new Pokemon, but not without this," He tossed a fishing rod to Dipper. "It's an Old Rod. You can use that to fish out wild Water-Type Pokemon."
"Thanks." Dipper said, then he went out toward the water.
Outside was the first part of Route 218, which was nothing but a little land, a dock, and water that had some trees nearby. Dipper walked on to the dock and cast the rod. He didn't reel anything in on the first few tries, but he then pulled out a red fish Pokemon.
"Oh cool! What's that Pokemon?" Dipper pulled out the Pokedex.
Magikarp: The Fish Pokemon
"Alright Magikarp, I'm going to catch you!" Dipper through out a Pokeball. "Go, Starly!"
Starly burst out of the Pokeball, stars shooting from it.
"Starly! Tackle attack!" Dipper commanded. Starly rammed into Magikarp, and it flopped onto the snowy land in front of Dipper. Dipper simply dropped a Pokeball onto its head, and Magikarp vanished inside. The ball shook 3 times before clicking, meaning Dipper had caught Magikarp.
"Nice! Return Starly!" Dipper returned Starly into its Pokeball and ran back toward the hotel. However, he was halted by a guy in a strange outfit. His outfit consisted of a grey jacket with the letter G on it, written in yellow. The mans pants and shoes where black, and his hair was a cyan colored bowl haircut.
"Stop right there!" the man said. "I demand that you hand over your Pokemon!"
"Why should I?" Dipper said, confused.
"In the name of Team G-" the man stopped in his tracks as he fell to the ground. Behind the man was Looker, holding a tazer.
"That guy was no good." Looker said.
"Will he be okay?" Dipper asked.
"Yeah, he will be fine. He'll be unconscious for a little while, so I better bring him into jail." Looker replied. He picked up the man and brought him away.
Dipper watched until Looker turned a corner, then he walked back to the hotel.
"Dipper, you were gone for a little bit, what happened?" Mabel asked.
"Nothing too important. I caught a new Pokemon and met some weird guy." Dipper replied. "Where is Soos?"
"Soos went out to go back to the Verity Lake. He wanted to try and find the legendary Pokemon." Mabel said. "So what Pokemon did you catch?"
Dipper tossed the new Pokeball, revealing Magikarp.
"Cool!" Mabel said, Dipper returning Magikarp to its Pokeball. "What about this weird guy?"
"Some guy in a weird outfit tried to steal my Pokemon, apparently in the name of Team G. Wonder what the G stands for." Dipper said.
"Team Guinea Pigs?" Mabel joked. Dipper smiled.
"Maybe. What about Team Galactic?" Dipper asked.
"No, that can't be it." Mabel said.
"Yeah, you're probably right." Dipper said.
Meanwhile all the way at Verity Lake…
Soos stood at the shore of the lake, looking far out into it. He knew that there was a legendary Pokemon here, and he wanted to find it, but he didn't know what it looked like or where it was.
"I must find you, legendary Pokemon of the lake. I want to see you." Soos said.
"Ah, you are looking for the legendary Pokemon too?" Soos turned to see the same blue haired man he saw on the 1st day of his journey.
"My name is Cyrus. I'm out to find the legendary Pokemon and what they mean to society." Cyrus said. "Didn't we meet before?"
"Yes, we did." Soos responded.
The two stared out at the lake in silence for a long time, before Cyrus finally spoke.
"They say that there is a cavern down at the bottom of the lake, containing the Pokemon."
"How do we get to it?" Soos asked.
"Only with a Pokemon that knows the move Dive. However, the only Pokemon that know Dive live in the Hoenn Region and the Unova Region. So its physically impossible to get to the bottom of the lake right now without drowning." Cyrus replied. "We just wait until it rises, I guess. Then surf to it."
"With a surfboard?"
"No, with a Pokemon that knows the move Surf. It would be easier to ride the waters on a Pokemon than a surfboard."
They were silent again until Cyrus spoke.
"I'm willing to let you help me find this Pokemon"
"How so?" Soos asked? Cyrus gave him a card.
"That card will tell you. Give me a call when you consider." Cyrus said, before leaving the lake. Soos looked at the card. There was a golden G embedded on it with a phone number. Soos already made his decision.
Back at the hotel…
"Soos has been gone for a while." Dipper said. Just then, Soos entered the hotel room.
"Hey, dudes!" Soos said, smiling.
"How'd your hunt for the legendary Pokemon go?" Mabel asked.
"Well, I saw that blue haired guy again. He wants to find the legendary Pokemon too, and I'm going to help him." Soos replied.
