Chapter 4: VS. Turtwig, Chimchar, & Piplup I

Morning brought with it a feeling of rejuvenation to Edd. After the events of the previous afternoon, he was so tired that when he got a room at the pokemon center, he immeadately collapsed upon the bed. It wasn't until 9:30 that he woke up. Noticing how late he had slept in, he went into the center's dining area where his friends were waiting for him. Ed, Eddy, and Yellow were finishing up their breakfast of eggs and toast, when Edd sat down at the table.

"Good morning, Edd." Yellow said brightly.

"Mmmmnmmggm." greeted Ed with a mouthful of food.

"Good morning to you, too."

"You really slept in late, didn't you, sock hat." said Eddy.

"Well, yesterday was pretty stressful. After all, I was beseiged by a flock of birds."

"Yeah, what was up with that?" Said Eddy "Were you in their territory or somethin'?"

"Ooh, ooh! I know, Double Dee. It was the curse of evil Tim." Said Ed "I read all about it in my comics. Evil Tim is a villan who summons Murkrow to-."

"Oh, brother." said Eddy "Ed nothing that happens in your comics is real."

"Says you." retorted Ed. Yellow chuckled lightly at this remark.

"I don't know what happened last night." Said Edd, getting up from his seat "But what I do know is that I'm positively famished. I'm going to get some food."

Edd got breakfast from the buffet and sat down with his freinds to talk and eat. After a little while, Edd finished up and the four of them bused their plates.

"I had a good time eating with you all, but I'm afraid that I have to get going now." said Yellow.

"Why's that?" asked Edd.

"As much as I enjoy your company, I promised some friends that I would meet up with them today at Jubilife city. I can't walk with you because I'll be riding my Dodrio to Jubilife."

"Oh, that's too bad." said Ed.

"Don't worry, I'll try to meet up with guys sometime in the future." Said Yellow.

The gang all walked out of the Pokemon Center and to the entrance to route 202. Yellow mounted Dodosk, her Dodrio, and faced the Eds.

"It was nice meeting all of you. Good bye."

"Good bye." replied the Eds as Yellow sped off.

The Eds stood there, watching Yellow move towards the horizon.

"Well, now what?" asked Eddy.

"We might as well get going ourselves." replied Edd.

The Eds returned to the Pokemon Center, where they packed up all their stuff and left for Jubilife City.

Line Break

North of Sandgem town was route 202, which connected Sandgem with Jubilife city. Its flora and fauna were both very similar to route 201. The pokemon which inhabitated 202 were the usual starlys and Bidoofs which were present throughout all of Sinnoh, which made the appearance of a trio of a red, blue, and green pokemon all the more strange.

These pokemon were chowing down on some food, unaware that someone was expertly stalking them. About 75 feet away was a teen of 14 years. He had blue hair of a color similar to his jeans and wore a yellow shirt with a thick red stripe across it. In his right hand was a wooden walking stick and in his left was a pokeball. Slowly, he furtively approached his targets downwind. Soon, the time to strike came.

"Go, Starly! Go, Shinx!" the youth yelled in rapid sucession, whilst throwing two pokeballs. Out popped a brown bird and a blue lion cub.

"Both of you, use tackle!" the teen ordered. The two pokemon were able to successfully ambush the unsuspecting prey, ramming into them. The red monkey pokemon recovered quickest from the attack.

"Chimchar!" It yelled as it blew a stream of fire at its foes.

"Dodge that ember attack! Shinx use thunder shock on the piplup! Starly tackle the Chimchar!"

The fire attack just barely scorched the duo as they went in to attack again. Shinx fired off its electrical attack, but piplup had recovered from the previous attacks and was ably dodged shinx's attack. Starly avoided chimchar's follow-up fire attacks and rammed it head on. While the other pokemon were distracted, the green turtwig took the oppertunity to propel a couple razor leaves at Rolf.

"I admire your courage." the teen said as he knocked the projectiles out of the air "But did you really think that you could challenge me?"

The tri-color trio were starting to lose as Shinx and Starly's strategy was chipping away at their stamina. Knowing they would soon lose, The trio performed a combined razor-leaf, ember, and water gun attack at blue-haired boy and then bolted from the scene. Although he was able to deftly leap out of the way of the barrage, the trainer was distracted enough that the three pokemon were able to escape. Shaking his fist towards the direction they had escaped towards, he yelled.

"You may have won this time, but this son-of-a-Sheppard will not let you go that easily!"

Line Break

Although Eddy was eager to reach Jubilife city, he was reminded of the previous day's events and therefore, walked a pace more along Edd's speed. There was nothing of real notability going on in the area, so all Eddy could do was soak up the atmosphere and hope that he would soon reach Jubilife. But then, Eddy noticed someone in the distance, yelling and shaking his fist.

"Is that who I think it is?" Eddy asked, looking into the distance.

"I think so- Is that Rolf?" said Edd.

"It must be, sock head." said Eddy as he ran to meet him. Edd and Ed ran up behind him.

"You have not seen the last of me!" the teen yelled.

"Woah, Rolfy boy. Calm down." Eddy said

"Ed boys!" Rolf said, now back to his usual self. "It is good fortune that I see you."

"It's nice to see you, too. What was it you were yelling at?" Edd asked.

"Yeah, what was it?" asked Ed and Eddy.

"I was hunting down a trio of pokemon and they escaped in the middle of battle." Rolf explained."They were of different species that I hadn't seen before, so I tried to capture them, but they turned out to be stronger than I thought."

"Well, good luck and all that." Eddy said.

"By the way, Rolf, what are you doing here in Sinnoh?" Edd asked.

"You do not know, he-who-wears-a-sock-for-a-hat?" Rolf asked, suprised. "There was a meeting about it at Kevin's house a couple weeks ago."

"What? We weren't invited to a meeting." Eddy replied.

"That figures, considering that he wasn't fond of us, especially after you beat him in the finals of the pokemon League." Said Edd.

"I figured you three were just busy doing whatever it is you usually do." Said Rolf "All the kids from the Cul-de-sac got together to determine what we would do now that the Championships were over. We all eventually decided to travel to Sinnoh and participate in the league there. We must have left a few days before you did because most of the others are already in other cities."

"Yeah, no wonder I hadn't heard Sarah yelling that week." Said Ed

"The Cul-de-sac seemed oddly quiet the days before we left." Said Eddy

"I guess I was to engrossed in the travel plans I was making for us, considering that I was the only one doing any work." Said Edd. "It was fortuitous that I picked Sinnoh for our destination because It's the region closest to Hoenn that has a pokemon league."

"Yes, It's quite lucky." Rolf said."By the way, what pokemon have you caught so far?"

Rolf released his two new pokemon. "These are my two new travelling compainions, Shinx and Starly."

The Eds released their pokemon as well, showing Rolf their Gible, Swinub, and Elekid.

"They look strong already, Ed boys. If my pokemon weren't tired from fighting, I have them battle with you."

"That's okay, Rolf. I'm sure we'll be able to fight later." Said Edd

"Yeah, Rolf. We going to have a big fight with you later." Said Ed

"And that's a promise." Said Eddy

"Alright, Ed Boys. I'll hold you to that." Said Rolf "But for now I must rest."

"Okay, Rolf." Said Eddy "Let's Go boys."

"Bye, Rolf." Said Edd.

"Yeah, seeya." Said Ed.

Rolf sat at the side of the dirt path, resting with his pokemon as the Eds walked into the distance.
