Now on with the show, and enjoy part one of the Season Finale!
Chapter 8: The Valley Windworks Predicament! Part 1
The group, after traversing Route 204, finally made it to Floaroma Town. A town they were hoping to visit, they saw it was covered in vibrant flowers of red, yellow, and blue colors. The town was small, only big enough to house 40 to 45 people, but it was by far the prettiest town in the region they had seen so far.
Immediately, the three went to heal at the Pokemon Center and rent rooms for the night, thinking they would be in the town for a while. Dipper and Mabel decided to explore the town, but noticed Soos had not come with them.
"Soos, come on! It's a great day out, we could catch new Pokemon!" Dipper said, smiling.
"I'll catch up with you dudes in a minute, I have to make a phone call." Soos said. Dipper and Mabel shrugged, then ran off into the flowery fields of Floaroma, hoping to encounter many new Pokemon. As soon as they left, Soos dialed a number, looking at the card he had received at Lake Verity days ago.
"Hello?" Cyrus picked up.
"Hey man, I think I've decided. Let's do this thing!" Soos said. "I don't think I can join you quite yet, I still have a journey to go on."
"That's fine. Come to Lake Verity any time you need to, and we'll discuss our plan to get to the legendary Pokemon." Cyrus said. "I'll send supplies to you when I can."
Dipper and Mabel decided to just take a break from their journeys, relaxing in the flowers with their Pokemon. While the Pokemon ran around and played in the flowers, Dipper and Mabel discussed their adventure plan.
"Like I've said, the second Gym is in Eterna City." Dipper said.
"I wonder what the city is like." Mabel wondered. Dipper pulled out his map.
"Well, according to my map, the city itself is moderately sized, but is the second most "green-thumb" town in Sinnoh, just behind Floaroma Town." Dipper said. "You can enter the town from Route 205 from the West and Route 211 from the East. It's connected to the Southern Cycling Road, a large bridge above Route 206 that people use to bicycle toward Oreburgh City, it has Cycle Shop for people to buy said bicycles, it has hotels, so that's good. It has a home of the famous "Underground Man," wonder what his deal is. Also, this town has ties to Sinnoh's past, its creation, and even before it was created."
"That city sounds huge." Mabel said. "It probably holds a gazillion people."
"Actually, it only has an estimated population of 105 people." Dipper said. "But it's still a big city. We could do some observing of the town and its knowledge of Sinnoh's history, then we could try and get the badge there."
"I guess, but learning sounds boring." Mabel said.
"Oh come on Mabel, just deal with it. It will be a great experience for us on our journeys!" Dipper put his map away. "I mean, this journey won't last forever. We have until we take on the Pokemon League. Then we just head back to Gravity Falls."
"Yeah, but we get to play with our Pokemon friends." Mabel smiled, petting Turtwig who had just ran over, holding a berry. It dropped the berry in Mabel's hand and ran off.
"Oh cool, a berry!" Mabel examined the yellow-pink banana shaped berry that Turtwig had given her. Dipper pulled out a small little book he had found in the drawer of the Jubilife hotel way back then.
"It says in this book that that berry is called a Nanab Berry. Kinda funny how its pretty much banana spelled backwards." Dipper said. "It's not meant to be eaten by Pokemon normally, and must be mashed up or baked into Poffins to be eaten. Wonder what Poffins are."
Just then, Soos ran right over to them.
"Hey dudes! I'm ready to go!" Soos said. "Where do we go next?" Dipper once again pulled out his map.
"According to my map, there's a small wind powered factory to the East of here past Route 205, called the Valley Windworks. We might as well stop there before heading off into the Eterna Forest." Dipper said. He put away his map, recalled his Pokemon, and headed off. Mabel recalled her Pokemon, and she and Soos followed.
They had entered Route 205, heading toward the Valley Windworks, when they saw six people up ahead. Two of them were Galactic Grunts, one was a little girl, one was Pacifica, one was Deuce, and one was Gideon. The group headed over. Everyone turned to see them.
"What's everyone doing here?" Dipper asked. He noticed the Galactic Grunts guarding a bridge that lead North to the Eterna Forest.
"These pip squeaks were trying to go into the Eterna Forest! That's Galactic territory." Grunt 1 said. The little girl turned to the group.
"I've asked so many people to please help my dad, but nobody will!" the girl cried.
"What did we miss?" Soos asked.
"Well, these stupid Galactic weirdoes won't let anyone go to the Eterna Forest." Pacifica said.
"They've taken over the Valley Windworks." Deuce said.
"And they have this girls father trapped inside." Gideon said.
"Please, you have to help me!" the girl said.
"I'll check it out. Mabel and Soos, you stay here. I'll report back with anything." Dipper said. He walked past everyone toward the Valley Windworks.
As soon as he arrived, he was immediately greeted with a breeze. Their were many powered-down windmills, a stream running nearby, many trees, a golden tree, and a patch of grass where Pokemon lived. The building itself was a large red bricked building with a sky dome window above. Dipper noticed a Galactic Grunt guarding the door, most likely not wanting any strangers or by passers get inside. Dipper walked over toward the Grunt, who immediately noticed Dipper approaching.
"Halt! You don't have any business with Team Galactic!" The Grunt stood firmly in front of the door.
"Listen, I need to get in there. I don't know what you guys at Team Galactic are planning, but its nothing good. Just let me in, or get out of here." Dipper reached for a Pokeball. "Or we could battle. Winner gets to go inside." The grunt pulled out a Pokeball.
"You're on! Go Glameow!" The Grunt tossed his Pokeball, revealing a gray cat Pokemon with a spring shaped tail and big white ears.
"Go Starly!" Dipper tossed out a Pokeball revealing Starly, stars bursting from it. "Starly, start with Aerial Ace!" Aerial Ace was a new move Starly recently learned. Starly glowed combinations of red and blue, with white streaks pouring out of it. It shot as fast as a speeding bullet straight into Glameow, sending it flying into the building wall, knocking it out.
"Wow, that was fast!" The grunt recalled his Pokemon. "Who cares! I'm not letting you in!" The grunt opened the door and went inside, slamming it shut behind him. Dipper walked over and tried opening the door, only to find it was locked.
"That guy must have the key, so I'm pretty much screwed." Dipper said to himself. He walked off back toward the group.
Once Dipper arrived, he found that everyone was sitting a little further away from the Grunts guarding the bridge. He walked over to relay his knowledge of the crime.
"Hey guys." Dipper said, walking over.
"That was fast." Mabel said. "So what's the haps, bro?"
Dipper explained how Team Galactic have locked down the place and that he can't get in without a key, but the guard has the key and they can't get in no matter what.
"Oh no!" the girl cried. "How are we going to save my daddy?"
"Don't worry." Dipper assured the girl. "We'll find a way in." Dipper thought for a moment, then had an idea. "Gideon, I need you to come with me." Although confused, Gideon decided to follow.
The two walked back into Floaroma Town and ventured to the top-left segment of the town, which had a small path between a thicket of leaves and bushes.
"I remember seeing two men standing in front of this spot, but I didn't know if they were Team Galactic or not." Dipper said.
"Hmm, maybe they were, but what importance do they serve?" Gideon asked.
"Well, they must have an extra key if they needed to get back inside to report information." Dipper said.
"So we just have to-" Gideon started.
"Steal the key!"They both said in unison. "But how?" Gideon asked.
"It's pretty obvious." Dipper said. He pulled out a Pokeball. "We battle them for it."
The two of them walked through the small path into a massive, and I mean MASSIVE field of nothing but flowers. It could be considered a garden of primary colors. Many trees bordered the edges of the garden, and their was a small home to the right side with a gold tree next to it. Although there was no grassy patches here, Pokemon still roamed the flowers, such as Bidoof and Starly, and even Budew. In front of the entrance, just up a few steps, were two Galactic Grunts, harassing a man that was holding little glass jars filled with an orange-brown colored clear substance, but it gave off a sweet aroma. Dipper sniffed.
"It smells like… honey?" Dipper's voice was heard by the grunts. They quickly turned to face the intruders.
"Hey! You can't be in here!" Grunt 1 said.
"Yeah! Get out of here!" Grunt 2 said.
Dipper and Gideon looked at each other, before looking back at the Grunts and pulling out Pokeballs.
"We demand a challenge!" Gideon said.
"Winner gets the key to the Valley Windworks!" Dipper said. "I'm take on Grunt 1. Gideon, you take on Grunt 2!"
"My pleasure! Go Marshtomp!" Gideon tossed his Pokeball revealing a bigger version of Mudkip that stood on 2 legs, it had long flippers for arms, and it was a light blue color with a black Mohawk looking fin on top. Grunt 2 sent out a Wurmple, and while those two battled, Dipper readied his Pokemon.
"Go Stunky!" Grunt 1 tossed a Pokeball, revealing a skunk like Pokemon that had dark purple and white fur instead of black and white. Dipper assumed it was a Dark Type or a Poison Type Pokemon.
"Go Starly!" Dipper tossed a Pokeball, revealing Starly, stars bursting from it.
"Well, this is it." Dipper thought. "I can't lose this, or else we may never have a chance of restoring the Valley Windworks to peace, and saving that girls father!"
-(End Of Chapter)-
