Pokemon: New Generations
Last time, the gang had quite a catastrophe. After falling into the dark caves of MT. Moon, they met Teddiursa. Christy caught it in her poke-ball, and Teddiursa joined the team. They now arrive at the entrance to Cerulean City.
"Well that didn't take very long at all," Christy smiled, as they walked into the city.
"We would've been here sooner if we didn't run into so much trouble." David said.
"Anyway," Axon said, "Let's check in with Mom and Dad. We haven't talked to them in awhile."
So the three of them made their way to the pokemon center which was, as usual, not far from the entrance to the city. When they entered Nurse Joy was in her usual spot behind the front desk. This was beginning to be a familiar scene.
"Hello there," She smiled, "May I help you with anything?"
"Well," Axon said, "can we use your phone?"
"Of course!" Nurse Joy said. Axon and Christy started for the phone room when David stopped them.
"Hold on guys," David halted, "aren't we forgetting about our pokemon? They haven't had a check up since Viridian City."
"Oh yeah," Christy turned tp Nurse Joy, "Could you please take a look at our pokemon Nurse Joy?"
"Okay, please hand over your poke-balls." Nurse Joy smiled. They reached into their pockets, pulled out their poke-balls, and handed them to Nurse Joy. Then they each handed the pokemon that were already out.
"We'll be back guys. Be good." David waved to them. Plusle, Minun, and Charmander waved happily as Nurse Joy put them on a roll on bed, and rolled them into the back room.
Axon, David, and Christy walked into the phone room, and used the first phone screen closest to them. They turned on the screen and dialed in the number. After a few rings, Axon and Christy's mother, Diana, appeared on the screen.
"Hello? Oh, hi guys." Diana smiled.
"Hi Mom!" Axon and Christy both smiled back.
"Hi Ms. Diana." David waved in the backround. Diana waved back at him. She looked like she was cooking something.
"Just getting dinner ready," Diana said mixing food in a pot, "So what's been going on with you guys? I haven't heard from you in awhile."
"Well," Christy started, "We've been running into a lot of trouble with this gang. They've been calling themselves the Goon Trio."
"Oh my," Diana put the cooking pot down, "That gang of bandits who escaped from jail in Viridian? There after you? Oh, but why?"
"We're the ones who got them arrested." David said, "They're pretty mad about the whole thing and now they won't leave us alone. But, we've been able to get out of their trouble anyway."
"Well," Diana sighed, "That's good I guess. Just don't know how I feel about my children in the cruel world by themselves, getting chased by a gang that's wanted by the police"
"We'll be okay Mom," Christy smiled. She intentionally did not mention that their own cousin was part of the gang.
"But the good news is." Axon reached into his pocket and pulled out his boulderbadge, "We got our first badges. Look! Aren't they cool?"
"Oh, wow!" Diana gasped at the sight, "You all got them?"
"Yeah," David and Christy both said pulling out their badges.
"Well that's just wonderful," Diana smiled continuing to cook her food.
"Thanks Mom," Axon said, "Where's Dad? I want to show him our badges."
"I'm sorry sweetie," Diana pouted, "You just missed him. He left for Johto about an hour ago. I'll let him know all the good news when he gets back."
"Again?" Christy exclaimed, "Why has he been going on so many business trips since we've been gone?"
"Just trying to keep himself busy I guess," Diana shrugged, "It's hard not having kids around. Oh, by the way, where's Plusle and Minun? I haven't seen the rest of your new pokemon either."
"There getting checked out right now," Axon said. "They'll be back soon."
"Oh, I wish I could see them," Diana sighed, "But I just don't have the time. I really must get dinner finished up. I love you guys."
"Love you too Mom." Christy and Axon both waved,
"Nice to see you again." David said.
"You too. Bye, have a nice time." Diana waved. She signed off the screen, and Axon and Christy got up from the chair.
"Do you need to call your dad?" Axon asked David.
"No, I'm pretty sure today is the day he has to go out of town as well." David said. "I'll call him tomorrow."
So the three of them walked out of the phone room. When they got out Nurse Joy was waiting with their pokemon.
"Your pokemon are all doing fine," Nurse Joy smiled. "Um, but I do have to ask a few questions about this Teddiursa if you don't mind. Who does it belong to?"
"That would be me." Christy rushed in front of Axon and David, "There's not something wrong with it is there? I just got it not too long ago."
"Oh, it's fine I think," Nurse Joy hesitated, "Well, it just seems a little, aggressive."
"Aggressive?" David asked, "What do you mean? That Teddiursa seems just like the rest."
"I thought so too," Nursa Joy said, "But as soon as it came out, it began to get very angry. It tried to attack me but I got it to calm down. But the important thing is that it's healthy like the rest of your pokemon. Here you go."
"Teddiursa?" Christy whispered to herself as Nurse Joy handed her Teddiursa's poke-ball. Plusle jumped on her shoulder and peaked at the poke-ball in confusion.
"Oh well," Axon shrugged, "Thank you Nurse Joy. We'll be back later."
They all waved and walked out of the pokemon center. They decided to explore the city. Christy was still distracted by Teddiursa.
"I just don't understand it," Christy said studying the poke-ball, "This Teddiursa seemed normal when I caught it. Cuddly, sweet, and all around adorable. So what's the problem?"
"Maybe that Teddiursa is a little attached to you," David suggested, "It probably doesn't like being away from you. Especially in an unformilliar environment."
"But she just got that Teddiursa." Axon added, "How attached could it had gotten just in that short time?"
"That's true." David said.
"I just want to know what's wrong." Christy said. Suddenly, there was a loud scream coming from down the street.
"Aiee," A women screamed, "Someone stop those pokemon!"
Axon, Christy, and David looked up. They saw a giant Poliwrath chasing a small oddish. They all ran up to the scene.
"What's that Poliwrath doing?" David exclaimed.
"I don't know but we have to help." Axon said turning to Minun on his shoulder. "Minun, try to calm them down."
"Maii!" Minun nodded, jumping off of Axon's shoulder and between the two pokemon. He began to try to calm them down, "Maii, maii! Minun! Nuhn, nuh, Maii!"
"POLIWRATH!" Poliwrath roared, pushing Minun off to the side. Axon ran and picked Minun up.
"Oh-no, Minun are you okay?" Axon asked.
"Mai!" Minun nodded slightly.
"What do you think you're doing?" Axon stood up at the Poliwrath, "Minun was only trying to help. You can't just push it around!"
"Poli," Poliwrath turned to Axon and took a deep breath in. It then let out a huge waterblast, "WRATH!!"
"Waughhh!" Axon cried as he was pushed back by the water.
"Axon are you okay?" Christy ran to him with David. They looked up and saw the Poliwrath continue chasing Oddish down the street. "What is that Poliwrath's problem anyway?"
"Somebody please stop that Poliwrath!" A woman cried, running down the street. "Please, anyone help me!"
"What's wrong ma'am?" David stood up, and walked over to the woman. She had bright red hair, and wore all yellow.
"Please, that Poliwrath is chasing my poor Oddish," The woman pleaded, "We have to stop it."
"Okay, but may I ask you why-" David began to ask, but then was interrupted by a frantic man running down the street.
"Stop Poliwrath! Stop chasing Oddish," The man screamed. The woman turned around to look at the man.
"Grrr, I should've known," She scowled, "What's your Poliwrath doing bothering my pokemon again?"
"I'm really sorry, I don't know what's gotten into it." The man pleaded.
"I don't want any of your lame excuses," She shouted, "I want your Poliwrath to leave my Oddish alone."
"Not that I wouldn't love to break this little get together," Christy came between them, "but do either of you even notice that your pokemon are getting away?"
"Aaaugh! Wait!" They both exclaimed, and began running down the street after them.
"Poliwrath, please come back!" The man shouted.
"Don't worry my sweet Oddish, I'm coming sweetie!" The woman shouted. Axon, David, and Christy chased after them with their pokemon. They chased the scene all the way to the back of the city. When they got there, the red headed woman immediately snatched her Oddish up and away.
"Return, Poliwrath!" The man retrieved his pokemon, "I'm really sorry. Please forgive me. I don't know what been goin-"
"Shut up!" The woman scolded him across the head, "I'm warning you now, if I ever catch this Poliwrath, or any of your pokemon, chasing mine again, you'll never set foot in this town again."
"That was pretty harsh." Axon itched his head as the woman walked away from the scene.
"No, please wait Misty! Wait!" The man pleaded, dropping to his knees on the ground.
"Misty? Now where have I heard that name before?" David said to himself, pulling out his guide book.
"Um, excuse me sir," Christy approached the man, "but what exactly is going on here?"
"Huh?" The man looked up, noticing Christy, "Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you kids to get all mixed up in this."
"Yeah, that's okay," Axon said, "But why was your Poliwrath chasing that lady's Oddish in the first place."
"I wish I could tell you," The man said sulkily, "But the truth is, I don't really know myself. My Poliwrath is always getting into some type of fight with her pokemon."
"Well maybe it takes after its trainer," Axon suggested, "You don't like her, and Poliwrath doesn't like her pokemon."
"That's just the thing," The man started, "I have nothing against her. In fact I think she's kind, sweet, funny, beautiful, graceful, an-"
"NOT TO MENTION THE CITY"S GYM LEADER!" David exclaimed, dropping the guide book out of his hands.
"Gym leader?" Axon and Christy both jumped.
"Yes that too." The man smiled.
"Oh, I get it" Christy growled, "She thinks just because she's gym leader she can treat people how ever she wants. So she lets her pokemon treat your Poliwrath so terribly."
"No, wrong again," The man shook his head, "My Poliwrath is the one who always starts it. I'll be talking to Misty in private, when all of a sudden, my Poliwrath will be picking a fight with her pokemon. Only today it picked a fight with one of the really small ones.
"But, that makes everything so much more complicated," He continued, "It's always coming between Misty and I with its temper. So then I can never get close to her. But you don't understand I kind of…I sort of..i really."
"Hold on are you saying that you.." David started.
"Oh, I can't keep it in anymore," The man grabbed David by the collar, "I'm in love with Cerulean City's gym leader. I am in love with Misty!"
"Wow, didn't see that coming." Axon jumped. "That's got to be tough though. No matter what you do, Misty will always resent you because of your Poliwrath.":
"Then we just have to let her know how sweet you really are." Christy stated standing up, "It's not fair that Misty will never love you because of your Poliwrath. We have to let her see the other side of you. The side without your Poliwrath."
"And how do you suggest we do that." The man asked.
"Because you and Misty are gonna go on a date." Christy smiled, "Without your Poliwrath. That way, nothing can mess it up."
"But, I have no one to leave it with," The man looked down, "I can't leave it at the pokemon center, because its not sick. There's no breeding center for miles, and I don't know anyone whos willing to watch it for more than five minutes."
"Then we'll watch it for you." Axon encouraged, "We can control it. How hard can it be?"
"You mean, you'd really do that for me?" The man jumped up in excitement, "But, I barely even know you kids. In fact I don't even know your names."
"Well, I'm Axon." Axon introduced himself, "This is Minun, my sister Christy, her Plusle, our friend David, and his Charmander. We're all traveling together."
"It's very nice to meet all of you," The man smiled, "My name is Joey."
"Well Joey," Christy said, "Come closer, because I have a plan that's going to get you and Misty alone on a romantic date."
So they all huddled on a circle to here Christy's plan. After along talk of strategy, Christy made her way to the Gym to talk to Misty.
"Hello?" Christy knocked on the door, "Is anyone there?"
"Yes what is it? I'm in no mood to battle." Misty said opening up the door. She was surprised to see Christy waiting for her, "Oh, it's you. I'm not sure exactly what you want, but I really do not feel like battling."
"Oh, don't worry," Christy smiled, "I just wanted to know if I could talk to you for a minute."
"Sure, come on in." Misty smiled back. Christy walked in what looked like a waiting room. Misty sat down in a chair. "So what is it that you wanted to talk about?"
"This is about that guy Joey." Christy said sitting herself, "You know, that guy with the Poliwrath."
"Hmph," Misty folded her arms, "Yeah, what does he want?"
"Well," Christy hesitated, "I know it may not seem like it, but he really..uh..admires you."
"Let me guess," Misty rolled her eyes, "He told you he loved me."
"Yeah!" Christy exclaimed, "But how did you know that?"
"How did I not know?" Misty said, "He's been going on about it since forever. At first it was sweet, but now its just annoying. Especially with that Poliwrath of his."
"Well, I'm sure if you gave him a chance…" Christy hesitated.
"I've already given him too many," Misty shook her head, "Look, if this is about you and Joey, I have no problem with it. You don't have to ask my permission."
"Permission?" Christy jumped, "Permission for what?"
"You don't have to hide it," Misty giggled, "That's what this is really about. You want to go out with Joey right?"
"W-W-WHAT!" Christy exclaimed, "You're crazy! The only reason I'm here in the first place is because he wants to take you out on a date, but you're to stubborn to listen to a word he says."
"I am not stubborn," Misty put her hands on her hips, "Who do you think you are anyway? I can't go out with Joey."
"Why not?" Christy asked accusingly, "If Poliwrath wasn't there, what other reason do you have? Well?"
"I..um..well…" Misty cleared her throat nervously, "you see…I kinda…how do I say this? I..er..uh."
"I don't believe this." Christy slapped her hand on her forehead, "You love him back, don't you?"
"Heh, heh. Is it that obvious?" Misty shrunk down into her seat.
"THEN WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?" Christy screamed in Misty's face. Plusle jumped down and covered her ears. "Its simple. He takes you out on a date, without his Poliwrath. You go with him, act all flattered and whatever, and at the end of the night, you kiss and live happily ever after."
"You really think so?" Misty looked up.
"Just say yes." Christy begged.
"Fine," Misty sighed, "I don't know how this will turn out but what time is the date?"
"You mean it? You'll go? Thank goodness." Christy jumped for joy, "Okay, he'll pick you up at seven. You're having dinner at the Cerulean Seaport diner, make sure to where your nicest dress. Leave all of your pokemon behind, and most importantly, love, love love!"
"O-kaay!" Misty hesitated as Christy ran out the door and down the street. She went upstairs to get ready for the big date.
Meanwhile, Christy ran into Joey's house, up the stairs and into the room where everyone was waiting for her.
"Yes!" Christy cheered, "Misty says yes. She'll go out with you tonight."
"Really?" Joey jumped out of his seat. "She'll really go? What am I going to do? I never thought she would say yes. I've got nothing to wear, my hairs a mess, do I even have enough money for dinner? What am I gonna do.."
"Calm down Joey." Axon sat him back down in the chair, "We already have everything picked out, remember? Your suit is hanging on the bathroom door, along with your brush and everything else. Dinner's already been taken care of, and were going to stay here and watch your Poliwrath."
"Okay," Joey itched his head, "Just a little nervous I guess."
So Joey went into his bathroom and got ready for his big date. Axon, Christy, and David waited down stairs in the living room with their pokemon. In about an hour, Joey came down the stairs, all dressed up and ready for his date.
"What do you guys think?" Joey cracked a nervous smile.
"Misty is going to flip." Christy smiled.
"Really? You think so?" Joey said excitedly. The doorbell rang and Joey went to go see who it was, "Now who could this be? My date's in ten minuters and I don't have time for this. Who is it? This better be go—, oh h-hi."
Joey became tongue tied, as he opened the door and saw Misty in a beautiful red dress.
"Hi Joey!" Misty smiled.
"Misty? What are you doing here?" Christy looked up at the door, "Joey was supposed to pick you up at seven."
"Oh, heh, well I.." Misty studdered, "I just wanted to come and get this over with. N-not that I'm not excited, I just really wanted to get it started already. N-not that I'm eager, I just…I…uh…heh, I don't know what I'm saying anymore."
"And it doesn't matter," Axon pushed the two out the door, "Now you too kids have fun, and don't stay out pass curfew. Now bye b-"
"Wait, heres Poliwrath's poke-ball." Joey handed out the poke-ball. David grabbed it from his hand. "There is something you should know before I leave. As you know about Poliwraths temper, it doesn't respond very well to strang-"
"That's great. We'll be fine. Bye bye now!" David continued to push them out with Axon. They shut the door closed behind them and sunk to the ground.
"Man," Axon sighed, "Who knew getting two people to go on a date can be so hard and complicated."
"Well, that's love for ya." David shrugged and stood up with the poke-ball, "The good news is we don't have to check into a center, since Joey's letting us day here for watching his Poliwrath."
"Okay, well I guess that means we can just relax now." Christy said, walking back to the couch and turning the television on.
"Well, I'll just put Poliwrath's poke-ball up here." David set the poke-ball on the top of the T.V. "That way, we don't have to worry about it getting in trouble."
So the three of them sat around watching t.v. After awhile it began to get dark, and they started to get hungry.
"I'm hungry," Christy said standing up, "Joey said we could help ourselves to anything in the fridge, and he must have some pokemon food here too. So lets see what we can find and have some dinner."
"Okay, let's get our pokemon out first," Axon said pulling out his two poke-balls, "Totodile, Pidgey, lets go!"
"Ariados, come on out!" David threw out his poke-ball.
"Teddiursa, Caterpie, it time for dinner!" Christy threw out her pokemon. All the pokemon appeared. Plusle, Minun, and Charmander ran to their other friends and began to play.
"Well lets go see whats in the kitchen," Christy said to Axon. They turned to walk in the kitchen when Christy felt Teddiursa clinging to her leg. "Oh, Teddiursa, you have to stay in here. I don't want you to hurt yourself with anything in the kitchen."
"Teddi! Ursa! Urse!" Teddiursa cheered as Christy picked it up, and set it in David's arms.
"Here David," Christy smiled, "You watch Teddiursa, and the rest of the pokemon. We'll try to get dinner started."
"Me? B-but I-" David studdered, struggling to balance Teddiursa in his arms.
"You can handle it," Axon waved his hand, "We're right in the kitchen. What could happen?"
"Easy for you to say." David muttered as Axon and Christy disappeared into the kitchen. He looked over at Pidgey who was flying all around their heads, "Gah, Pidgey get down from there."
"Ursa!" Teddiursa jumped put of David's arms.
"Uh, wait! Teddiursa get back here!" David reached out to Teddiursa, but was distracted by the other pokemon, "No, Plusle put that down! Hey Totodile, don't touch that! Minun, Ariados, stop fighting!"
Tessiursa ran around the room, as the commotion continued. It hopped on top of the T.V. where Poliwraths poke-ball sat. It looked at it curiously, then pressed a button on the side of it. Joey's Poliwrath appeared.
"Poli?" Poliwrath looked around for its trainer but didn't see him anywhere. It looked down at Teddiursa who was smiling back at him.
"Ursa! Ursa!" Teddiursa cheered up and down.
"Poliwrath!" Poliwrath grew angry. It took Teddiursa's cheering as a taunt, and reacted too quickly to it. It knocked Teddiursa off the T.V. stand. "WRATH! POLIWRATH!"
"Not now Poliwrath, I'm busy." David waved his hand carelessly trying to take care of the other pokemon. His eyes grew wide as he realized what just happened. "Wait a minute? P-Poliwrath?"
"POLI!" Poliwrath roared as David turned around slowly.
"Ursa!" Teddiursa jumped back on the T.V. and tackled Poliwrath off the stand. "Ted-di-Ursa!"
"POLIWRATH!!!" Poliwrath jumped back up and began chasing Teddiursa around the room. Teddiursa ran out the door. Poliwrath continued to chase it.
"Poliwrath, Teddiursa come back!" David got up and followed them out the door. Axon and Christy walked into the living room after hearing all the commotion.
"Was that David?"Christy looked around, "Why was he yelling about Poliwrath, a-and wheres Teddiursa?"
"Uh-oh," Axon pointed at Poliwrath's poke-ball, "Look! Poliwrath isn't in its poke-ball. How could it have gotten out?"
"Pluhh! Pluhh!" Plusle hopped up and down near the front door.
"Maii!" Minun tried to get their attention. Axon and Christy both looked over at the two, and noticed the open door.
"Who opened the door?" Christy ran and picked up Plusle, "You don't think Poliwrath..?"
"Only one way to find out." Axon pulled out his poke-ball and retrieved his pokemon. Christy did the same. Plusle and Minun hopped on their shoulders.
"Ariados, Charmander!" Christy turned to David's two poke-ball, "You guys will have to follow us on foot. Let's go!"
So they all ran out the door and down the street. They continued to run when they came to David who was trying to catch his breath.
"David! What happened." Christy shouted, catching up with him.
"T-teddiursa, (pant) let Poliwrath out (gasp) big trouble!" David wheezed and panted falling to the ground.
"Well, that makes sense." Axon said, "Nurse Joy said that Teddiursa was a little aggressive, and we've all seen Poliwrath's bad temper. Put the two together and you've got.."
"Big trouble!" David lifted his head up for a minute then sunk it back down.
"Which way did they go?" Christy asked. David pointed straight ahead. Axon and Christy looked up and saw Poliwrath chasing Teddiursa further down the street.
"Come on! We have to stop them." Axon said beginning to run after them. Christy followed as David got up and returned Ariados. Charmander ran next to him as they chased. The gang was just about to catch up to the two troublesome pokemon, when some old friends appeared, cutting off their path.
"You didn't forget about us did you?" A sly voice said.
"Oh-no, not now!" Christy complained. The three bandits jumped down from the sky in front of them.
"So you do remember us." The leader approached, "Ester!"
"JJ!" JJ announced.
"And yours truly, Dalem!" Dalem smirked.
"The goon trio!" Axon, David, and Christy all exclaimed at once. Axon stepped up. "Nice entrance, but we don't have time for you right now."
"After what you did to us in Mt. Moon you better make time," JJ growled. "Thanks to you, those Ursaring practically mauled us all alive. Do you know how long it took to put this face back to perfection? DO YOU?"
"Keep your shirt on!" Dalem halted JJ.
"Out of our way!" Axon shouted turning down to Minun. "Let's take care of this now. Thundershock Minun!"
"Hold your thunder!" Ester smirked. Minun hesitated. "Take a look around at where we are before you do something reckless."
The goon trio moved aside so that the place they were standing in front of came into view. It was the Cerulean Seaport Diner. The restaurant where Misty and Joey were supposed be having there quiet date.
"Oh-no!" Christy exclaimed, "We can't let them mess this up."
"Trust me ditsy! It's already messed up." Dalem taunted.
"Grr. It's Christy you jerk!" Christy snapped.
"Oh, Poliwrath!" Ester called. Poliwrath turned away from its small battle with Teddiursa to look at Ester. "I bet you're wondering where your trainer is."
"Poliwrath! Poliwrath! Wrath, wrath!" Poliwrath nodded anxiously.
"Well I know where he is. Right in there!" Ester pointed into the restaurant window. Poliwrath turned to look into the window and saw its beloved trainer Joey inside. It lost control and charged into the restaurant.
"Wrath! Poliwrath!" Poliwrath cheered as it ran in towards Joey's table. Joey looked up from the conversation he was having with Misty.
"Huh? Poliwrath?" Joey turned around.
"Wrath! Wrath!" Poliwrath continued to charge happily toward Joey and Misty's dinner table.
"Poliwrath! Wait, noo!" Joey stood up, attempting to stop Poliwrath. But Poliwrath tackled Joey right down on down onto the table. Which caused glass to shatter everywhere, and drinks and foods to spill all over Misty.
"Aiieee!" Misty shrieked, "Gah, what's that Poliwrath doing here. You promised you'd leave it behind!"
"I-I swear I did. But-" Joey tried to push Poliwrath off of him.
"Joey!" Christy exclaimed running in the restaurant with Axon and David. "We're so sorry, but it wasn't our fault. These guys, the-"
"Ooo, Poliwrath!" Ester called again, holding Teddiursa, "Not that its any of my business, but don't you have a score to settle with this Teddiursa?"
"Poliwrath!" Poliwrath began to get angry again. Ester dropped Teddiursa, and Poliwrath charged at it again. Teddiursa ran away through out the restaurant. Poliwrarh chased Teddiursa over tables and glasses, creating a mess around the place.
"Hey!" Misty exclaimed brushing herself off, "What's that girl trying to do? She'll mess up everything."
"That's exactly what she wants," Axon turned to Misty, "Once Teddiursa and Poliwrath make a mess of things, they'll leave and everything will be blamed on us."
"I see," Misty nodded pulling out a poke-ball, "Well I may only have one pokemon with me, but, go Oddish!"
"Oddish! Odd!" Oddish cheered as it appeared out of the ball.
"Ha, this is perfect," Ester whispered to her friends, "That girl's the gym leader here, so if we steal her Oddish, she'll be furious with those kids."
"Then she won't let them battle her," JJ continued, "and they won't get their precious gym badges."
"Then they'll be sorry they ever messed with us." Dalem said. "Well then it looks like you're coming with us Oddish!"
Dalem reached into his bag and pulled out a cage. JJ dived down and grabbed Oddish, and threw it in the cage. The three ran off with, Oddish held captive, right in front of their eyes.
"Hey, give back my Oddish!" Misty chased them out of the restaurant. Christy held back Joey.
"Wait, your Poliwrath!" Christy said, "Its tearing this place apart. You can't just leave it here."
"Sorry but I have to help Misty!" Joey continued to run, "You'll have to calm them down."
"Me?" Christy jumped. She turned to Teddiursa and Poliwrath. "I'll never be able to return Teddiursa when its so distracted. I'll have to calm it down myself."
Christy snuck up behind Teddiursa and grabbed it up in a tight squeeze.
"Alright Teddiursa (grunt)" Christy struggled to keep it still, "It's, gah, time to calm down now. Lah."
"Wrath! Poliwrath!" Poliwrath began to charge at Christy. Christy ran the other way with Teddiursa. Poliwrath continued to destroy everything in its path. Christy struggled to stay away from it.
"Woah," Christy tripped onto the ground. She turned around to Poliwrath with Teddiursa still in her arms, "This isn't good. Huh?"
Christy after hearing a loud cracking, looked up to see the landshield above her crackling down on to her. She clutched onto Teddiursa and braced herself, but when she looked up again, Poliwrath was over her holding the landshield back, then tossing it to the side.
"Poliwrath?" Christy looked up, then jumped and gave it a big hug, "Thank you Poliwrath! You saved Teddiursa and I"
"Poli!" Poliwrath nodded. They heard a scream coming from outside. They both ran out to see the commotion. When they got out they saw a big truck driving away. In the passenger seat window, JJ was holding Oddish out in a taunting way. Axon, David, Misty, and Joey were all chasing them.
"Give me back my Oddish!" Misty shouted.
"I choose you, Ariados!" David threw out his poke-ball. Ariados appeared. "Use your stringshot to hold back that truck."
Ariados sent a large line of string at the truck, and grabbed on to it tight. The truck halted in its place.
"Come on everybody! Pull!" David shouted, grabbing onto Ariados and tugging on tight. Everyone else followed his orders. They pulled harder, and harder when Joey looked back at Misty who looked like she was going to cry.
"Come on! I have to save Oddish!" She wimpered as she pulled harder. Joey shook his head clear and let go. "Joey, what are you doing?"
"I'm coming Oddish." Joey shouted running to the truck. He had almost made it when the string snapped and the truck began to move again. He dived after it, and caught onto the very back.
"Looks like we have a stowaway." Ester laughed. "Well we can't allow that. Bye bye."
Ester took the wheel and began zig zagging the truck everywhere. Joey struggled to stay on.
"Waugh, help me!" Joey cried as he was dragged everywhere.
"What are we gonna do?" Axon said. Suddenly, Poliwrath burst threw the croud, and charged for the truck. It jumped onto the back of the truck with Joey then pulled itself tight on.
"Poliwrath!" Joey's face lit up. Poliwrath pulled Joey up with him. "Thank you Poliwrath."
"Poliwrath!" Poliwrath nodded then jumped onto the top of the truck.
"Hey, where are you going?" Joey called up to Poliwrath, as it went over the top where he couldn't see it anymore. Poliwrath jumped over the drivers part of the truck, and punched a giant hole in the roof. It pulled Dalem straight out of his seat.
"Waugh! Help me!" Dalem squeled as Poliwrath pulled him out of the truck. As soon as it got him clear out, Poliwrath smacked Dalem clean off to the side. It then reached in the whole again this time pulling out JJ.
"Gah, put me down! Put me down!" JJ cried as he dropped Oddish down. Ester quickly grabbed it, and tried to maintain the wheel at the same time. Poliwrath pulled JJ out, then smacked him off as well. This time, Poliwrath jumped into the truck and approached Ester, who was still holding Oddish.
"Wrath! Poliwrath!" Poliwrath growled, as it grabbed Oddish, who was still in its cage, away from Ester.
"Oh no you don't! Give it back!" Ester protested, tugging back on the cage. Poliwrath and Ester pulled back and forth, when finally, Poliwrath punched Ester out of the window of the truck. "Aieee!"
The truck began to swerve and lose control. Poliwrath grabbed onto Oddish's cage tightly then jumped up threw the whole of the roof, and off of the truck. Joey jumped off the back, and turned around to see the truck flip over and crash right into a tree. Poliwrath, and Oddish were safe at the side.
"Poli!" Poliwrath smiled letting Oddish out of the cage.
"Oddish!" Misty cried out happily. "Uh-oh look out!"
The Goon Trio, was sneaking up behind Poliwrath and Oddish, looking all scratched up and rustled. Poliwrath could not act quick enough, when they swung to grab it.
"Oh-no you don't, Minun thundershock!" Axon ordered.
"You too Plusle, thunder attack!" Christy shouted.
"Go Charmander, Flamethrower!" David joined the team. Plusle, Minun, and Charmander all sent there attacks at the bad guys. The Goon Trio blasted back onto the ground.
"Grr, will be back!" Ester grunted, getting up with her sidekicks and running away.
"Oddish!" Misty ran to Oddish ignoring everything else. She picked it up in a big hug, "Oddish! I'm so happy you're okay, and thank you Poliwrath, for saving it."
"Well, it looks like everything i—mmph!" Joey was interrupted by a big smooch on the lips by Misty. Joey's face turned tomatoe red as she leaned out of the kiss.
"Thank you Joey! That was the bravest thing anyone has ever done for me." Misty smiled, a little red in the face herself. "And to tell you the truth, I always did kind of like you too."
"Heh, heh." Joey giggled nervously.
"But there's one thing I don't understand," Axon said with Minun on his shoulder, "Why did Poliwrath save Oddish?"
"Yea, and why did it save me and Teddiursa before?" Christy added.
"Um, I think I may know why." David pointed over to Poliwrath. Poliwrath was bowing down to Teddiursa and Oddish like a gentleman. Oddish and Teddiursa both turned there heads in digust. Poliwrath ran to the other side to try again, but Teddiursa and Oddish did the same thing.
"You're joking," Axon's jaw dropped open, "You mean this all happened because Poliwrath is in love, with Oddish and Teddiursa?"
"It looks like it." David shrugged, returning Ariados. "Maybe its in love with all of Misty's pokemon, and that's what the chasing is about."
"That's enough Teddiursa," Christy said retrieving her pokemon, She turned to Joey and Misty, "Well, it looks like everything is under control now."
"Under control?" Misty jumped up infuriated, "Under control? This place is out of control! There's a totaled truck crashed into a tree over there, and just look at the diner."
Christy turned around to see the restaurant looking completely messed up, and chefs and waiters running around trying to solve the problem.
"Well uh-" Christy hesitated.
"This all your fault." Misty accused, "If it wasn't for your Teddiursa, this town would still be in one piece."
"What?" Christy jumped up, "That is crazy! The only reason that happened in the first place was because we were trying to do you a favor."
"A lot of help that was," Misty rolled her eyes, "I thought you had things under control but that Poliwrath still ended up tackling me down."
"One more remark like that and it won't be the only one!" Christy threatened.
"Was that a threat?" Misty stepped up.
"Better, it was a challenge." Christy stepped up as well, "Tomorrow at the Cerulean Gym. I'll show you!"
"Fine," Misty crossed her arms, "and to make things interesting, if I win you have to find a way to repair all the damage to the diner. If I lose, then you can have the badge, and be free of all charges."
"Okay, you're on!" Christy nodded.
"On the bright side," Joey cracked a smile, "You're still welcome at my house."
"Thanks Joey!" Christy said pulling Axon and David along with her, "Come on guys, I have a battle to win in the morning."
"Don't chicken out on me!" Misty shouted after her. Christy paused and turned around.
"I wouldn't dream of it." Christy smirked. She turned back around with her brother, and their friend.
So they made their way back to Joey's house, and went for a good rest for what would hopefully be a great battle.
