"He's so cute!" Daisy squealed, while looking at her new Pokemon. "Oddish Oddish!" the baby screamed, being happy with her new trainer. "Jumpluff, are you happy with your little daughter?" she asked, as if Jumpluff was her husband and as if she was the mother. Meanwhile, the rain was pouring down on our heroes, who didn't seem to mind.
"Pluff!" the Pokemon squealed, while giving his newborn child a hug.
"I'm so glad Daisy likes her new Pokemon!" Tracey said. "It's her birthday and I wanted her to enjoy my gift, and I also think she's going to learn so much from this!"
"But I'm not so glad about that!" Misty screamed, while pointing at a giant hurricane. Gyarados tried to swim away, but failed to avoid getting sucked in, along with our heroes.
"No, Oddish!" Daisy screamed, while the Grass-type got separated from her hands. Tracey grabbed his girlfriend's hand, while the group was transported away from Mandarin Island North.
"I failed," Gyarados thought, while feeling the arms of his beloved trainer. "I failed to transport us away from this danger, I failed to pay attention. I just had to listen to the cute squealing baby and to Jumpluff, but I couldn't swim away from a hurricane..." Then, everything went black and the group lost their consciousness, just before being thrown at a wave some distance away from where they were originally heading to and being left on the shore of another island.
Two hours later, a black-haired poked a blue Pokemon with yellow cotton arms. "Jumpluff?" the Pokemon squealed, while holding his baby Oddish.
Then, the Pokemon tickled Daisy on her legs. Thanks to the model's short skirt, the Grass-type's tickling pollen woke her up. "Where's Oddish?" she asked.
"Jumpluff Pluff Pluff," her Pokemon's father said proudly, holding Oddish in his arms.
"There you are! I'm so glad you're alive!" Daisy screamed, while hugging her Pokemon.
Then, the black-haired man awoke the redhead who was holding her Gyarados in a pose that gave him the idea that she wanted to protect the Pokemon against something.
"Where... Where am I?" Misty asked, while her Gyarados awoke.
"This is Sunburst Island, I think the cyclone brought you all here," the man answered. "I'm so glad you're alive, I was so shocked when I saw you and those Pokemon drifting! I brought you all to the shore and tried to wake you up!"
"Thank you! You saved our lives!" Misty shouted, backed by her transport Pokemon. "Gyaaah!"
"No thanks, I'm sure you would've done the same for me," the man said.
Then, Tracey woke up. "What? Where am I? Does this mean I survived the storm?"
"Tracey, I'm so glad you're okay!" Daisy said, while kissing her boyfriend on his lips.
"We're on Sunburst Island," Misty explained. "This man here saved our lives!"
"Hey, wait a minute! I know two of you! I remember you now, Misty and Tracey!" the black-haired man said. "Who is the blonde girl with the Oddish?" he asked.
"I'm Daisy," the model said. "I'm Cerulean City's best fashion model and I'm Misty's older sister!"
"Nice to meet you! I'm Mateo, I once met your sister and your boyfriend some time ago," the man introduced himself.
"Do you know where we can have some fun around here? I wanna have a fun birthday," Daisy said, while she, Misty and Tracey stood up, realizing they were lucky they didn't drown. Meanwhile, Gyarados, Oddish and Jumpluff also knew they weren't harmed.
"Sorry, but this island just has a small village, my shop and a small cave," Mateo said.
"What kind of shop do you have?" Daisy asked.
"I make crystal sculptures of Pokemon," Mateo explained. "I once lost inspiration, but gained it all back when seeing the Crystal Onix on this island. However, I'm on a bad streak again, and I decided that I'm going to catch it. Then, I can always use it for inspiration, and it might be good for Onix and me to just be friends."
"A crystal Onix? Does that even exist?" Daisy asked.
"Yeah, I saw it with my own eyes," Tracey said.
"That sounds beautiful, can we go with you?" Daisy asked.
"Sure! But don't you want to first?" Mateo suggested. "You've been through a huge shock."
"Daisy, I'm a little tired, maybe we should rest up first," Tracey suggested.
"It's my birthday and I want to make it as fun as possible!" Daisy sneered. "We're gonna see that Onix now!" Then, she looked at her new Pokemon. "You wanna see it too, right?" "Oddish Oddish!" the cute Pokemon nodded.
"Okay then, I suppose my little sister watching the shop for a while won't be a disaster," Mateo said, while the group walked to the small cave.
"Do you think you'll be able to catch it this time?" Misty asked, while walking next to the shore.
"Why not?" Mateo responded. "Last time I tried, I was close to catching it."
Then, they reached the cave and went inside. After a few steps, they saw the lake the rare Pokemon was hiding in.
"Charizard, I choose you!" Mateo shouted, while hurling the Poke Ball that contained his strong Fire type.
Then, the rare Pokemon heard the people who were passing through the cave. "OOOOOO!" Rocks fell down on the ground, severely hurting Charizard.
"That Onix is so beautiful and so strong!" Daisy said.
"Yeah, I can see why it's inspiring to artists," Misty agreed, while pointing at Tracey, who was working on a sketch depicting the Onix.
"Could one of you help me for this battle?" Mateo asked. "I don't know what to do, I don't want to damage his crystals with Charizard's fire!"
"Sure," Tracey said. "Jumpluff, I choose you!" And so, the Grass Pokemon was about to help the Fire-type.
Then, the Onix charged Charizard with a Tackle, severely hurting the Fire type. "Charizard can't take much more, another one of you has to help me!" Mateo said.
"Oddish, are you ready for your first battle?" Daisy asked.
"That Oddish is a baby who was born today! How can you make him battle?" Tracey asked.
"Trust me, I have an idea," Daisy said, while Oddish jumped out of her arms. "Oddish, Sleep Powder!" she shouted, while a green wave of powder struck the blue snake, causing some heavy snoozing and snoring.
"Smart move!" Misty said. "Oddish must've inherited Sleep Powder from her daddy"
"Jumpluff, now you can freely charge up a Solarbeam!" Tracey said. And so, his Pokemon blasted a strong attack at the crystal snake, putting an end to the battle quickly.
Then, Mateo threw a Poke Ball, hoping to catch the Pokemon. While the Poke Ball kept moving, Mateo anxiously gazed. Did he succeed? Yes, he did! The Poke Ball lay still, he caught the Pokemon he needed!
"Congratulations, Mateo!" Misty said.
"You're welcome," he said. "Tracey, Daisy, I would've never succeeded without you two and your Grass Pokemon!"
"And where will we go now?" Daisy asked, while walking out of the small cave. Meanwhile, Mateo returned Charizard to his Poke Ball, while Tracey and Daisy did the same with their Pokemon.
"We can go to Pinkan Island," Tracey said. "You've never been there, but I'm sure you'll like it."
"Sounds fun," Daisy said, while the group went out of the cave.
"Watch out for the storm!" Mateo said, while he walked off to his shop. "Thanks again!"
"Thanks, and we will," Tracey replied, while Misty sent out her Gyarados. The Water-type looked at the stormy sky and thought "why the hell do I have to do this? I don't want to end up like earlier today... Oh well, Daisy's demands have to be followed."
And so, the group departed from Sunburst Island. "I think we can reach Pinkan Island in an hour if Gyarados speeds up," Tracey predicted.
"That would be awesome," Daisy said. "What can you see there?"
"It's a surprise," Misty said.
However, the weather still wasn't much better than earlier today. And so, as a result, another storm carried the group away. Unlike last time, they didn't lose their consciousness, but still weren't able to change the direction the wave was taking them. And so, hours later, they washed up on the shore of an unknown island.
"Daisy... Tracey... Are you two alright?" Misty asked, after seeing how her Gyarados wasn't hurt. Then, she returned her Pokemon to his Poke Ball.
"I'm fine, I'm glad Oddish is safely in his Poke Ball this time," Daisy said.
"I'm fine as well," Tracey said, while he stood up.
"Where are we?" Misty asked, while getting up.
"I don't know," Tracey answered, while looking at the thick jungle on the island.
"I hope we can find some people here who can tell us where we are..." Daisy muttered, while the group entered the forest.
"This island looks deserted, aside from a few Pokemon," Tracey said.
Then, Misty felt a huge shock. "Oh no, Beedrill!" she screamed. Then, she ran away quickly, even though the bee-like Pokemon were just flying through without intending to attack anyone.
One minute later, Tracey saw Misty sitting a while up ahead. "Misty? Misty? Please answer me!" he shouted.
"Are they gone?" Misty asked.
"Yeah, they weren't even attacking us," Daisy explained.
Then, Misty got up again. "Sorry... Let's go on," she said. And so, the group saw some more Grass- and Bug-Pokemon, occasionally scaring Misty. Hours later, while the sun went down and the moon was shining brightly, the group got out of the rainforest. In front of them was a giant cave.
"It's eleven o'clock in the evening. Shall we just go to sleep here and call it a day?" Tracey asked.
"No, I want to see what's in this cave!" Misty countered. "Maybe there are bugs inside..." she moaned.
"Misty is right, I don't feel very safe here... This is a deserted island, maybe there are mad wild Pokemon here!" Daisy agreed.
And so, the group entered the pitch-black cave, being unable to see anything.
"It's so dark here, I can't see a thing!" Daisy complained.
"I have an idea," Tracey said. "Jumpluff, I choose you!" he said, while making the cute Grass-type emerge from the Poke Ball. "Jumpluff Pluff!" he squealed.
"Jumpluff, use your Flash, so we know where we need to go!" Tracey commanded, causing the Grass-type to brighten the cave by using the power of the sunlight stored in the two small leaves on his head.
The group walked onwards, using Jumpluff as a torch. "There are two ways here, a water one and a regular path, where do we have to go?" Misty asked.
"I'm having an awfully familiar feeling about this place..." Tracey moaned.
"What are you talking about?" Daisy asked.
"I think he means... He means it's that cave with the Kabuto Tracey, Ash and I were exploring a long time ago!" Misty thought. "But didn't that island get swallowed by the sea last time we were there?"
"Yeah, but it came back after a time of drought and has its old ecological state back, I read it in an article... This is strange, almost like a ghost island!" Tracey mentioned. Then, he looked to the ceiling, where lots of Pokemon with a brown shield were attaching themselves to strike in case of danger.
"Misty is right! These Kabuto can attack us at any moment!" he screamed. "Let's take the water road!"
Then, Misty sent out her Gyarados, so the group could ride him and see where it goes. But then, a Kabuto dropped from the wall! However, despite the fear, the ancient Pokemon only talked to Jumpluff! After a handshake, the two seemed to have a small conversation.
"What are they talking about?" Daisy asked.
"I think that Kabuto is telling Jumpluff that he heard us talking, and that we don't need to fear," Tracey said.
"I hope so..." Misty muttered. Then, while Jumpluff waved the Rock-type goodbye, the group departed on Gyarados's back, heading on to a deeper part of the cave.
Eventually, after seeing many rocks, Kabuto and long water paths, the group got on the land again. "It seems like we have to walk from here again," Tracey said.
"Gyarados, thanks for the ride!" Misty said, while returning her Pokemon to his Poke Ball. The group advanced through the pitch-black cave, only brightened by Jumpluff's Flash.
Then, Daisy saw something light blue flashing around the exit of the cave. "Tracey, I'm scared..." she muttered, while getting hugged for comfort.
"We're almost out of here," Misty said. Then, she heard a beautiful sound.
"What is that?" Daisy asked.
"Maybe that blue thing and that sound come from a Pokemon," Tracey said.
"Hey! Show yourself, unless you're too scared!" Misty snapped. And so, the blue Pokemon with the mermaid tail hopped in front of the exit. "Vaporeon!" she shouted.
"What's that, Tracey?" Daisy asked.
"That's a Vaporeon, one of Eevee's many evolutions. It's very rare in the wild," Tracey explained.
"Is it dangerous?" Daisy asked.
"If it's aggressive, it might be," Tracey said. "We need to be very careful."
"What could a Vaporeon be doing here?" Misty asked, while avoiding a Water Gun shot at her.
"I don't know... But in a watery cave, it makes sense. Maybe she's protecting the Kabuto?" Tracey thought.
"Come on, let's get out of here!" Daisy shouted, while running at the exit of the cave. However, she was only just in time to prevent getting struck by a Water Gun.
"That does it! We'll have to defeat her if we want to get out of here!" Tracey said.
"I agree with Tracey," Misty said. "Azurill, I choose you!" But instead of a blue, mouse-like Pokemon, a mentally handicapped, yellow duck emerged from the Poke Ball. "Psy-y-y!"
"Oh no, not Psyduck!" Tracey said. "She should get him back in his Poke Ball now!" he thought.
And that's exactly what Misty tried. However, Psyduck was running around fast enough to avoid returning to his Poke Ball. "Psy-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y!"
Then, the wild Pokemon smashed the duck on his rear, dishing out a hard hit with Headbutt. "Psyduck, no!" Misty screamed.
"Misty, shall I take over from here?" Tracey asked.
"No, I wanna do this myself!" Misty snapped. Then, she pointed at her mentally handicapped Pokemon. "Psyduck, get up now!"
Then, Vaporeon struck the ducky with a strong, colourful beam on the head. "Oh no, that's Aurora Beam!" Tracey said. "I don't think Psyduck can survive this..."
"Why is that Psyduck of hers so stupid?" Daisy asked.
"I don't know, it's mentally handicapped in some way. He never understands what Misty is saying and can't use his powers when he doesn't have a headache," Tracey explained.
Then, Psyduck stood up and had an angry look in his eyes. While a blue gaze coloured the eyes, Vaporeon was smashed against a wall and was moved up and down, until the Water-type was defeated!
"Psyduck, that was awesome!" Misty complimented, while returning the duck to his Poke Ball.
"Misty, that was great! Now let's get out of here," Daisy said.
"Wait," Misty said. She grabbed a Poke Ball from her bag and hurled it at the defeated Pokemon. Anxiously waiting, she saw the Poke Ball moving a bit.
"What? Misty, that Vaporeon is viscous, she attacks innocent people!" Daisy snapped, while the Poke Ball was still moving a little.
"I know, but I'm sure Vaporeon and I can be friends. And hey, maybe she just felt threatened or wanted to protect the cave or the Kabuto," Misty said.
Then, she saw how the Poke Ball finally stopped moving. "Yes!" she shouted, while jumping in the air. "I caught... a Vaporeon!"
"Congratulations, Misty! When did you decide you want to catch it?" Tracey asked.
"Well, I told you that I wanted to battle alone, I already knew I wanted to catch her," Misty said. "I just didn't want to say it, because I didn't think you two would want me to."
"Why wouldn't we want that?" Tracey asked.
"Well, it takes more time, I'm not sure if Daisy appreciates that on her birthday..." Misty muttered.
"I don't mind, I'm glad you have a new Pokemon! If that Vaporeon is strong and you get it to listen to you, you can boost the Cerulean Gym's reputation a lot!" Daisy said.
"It's twelve o'clock, your birthday is over," Tracey said, while walking out of the cave. "I'm so sorry this wasn't the birthday you were looking for... Can you ever forgive me?"
"Well, this indeed wasn't what I had in mind, but I have to admit that this was an exciting and interesting day! Of course the hurricane and this island scared me to hell, but I've had a great time! I have my baby Oddish, I saw the crystal Onix, and Misty caught a Vaporeon! This was one of the most fun birthdays I've ever had!" Then, the group got out of the cave and ended up at the shore.
And so, the next morning, after sleeping in sleeping bags and tents at the beach, our heroes were heading to the northeast. "Where are we going now?" Daisy asked, while cuddling her Oddish.
"We're going to Kinnow Island," Misty answered. "Marina lives there, a girl I've had a great battle with last time I was there. I hope to see her again and battle."
"And what can I do there?" Daisy asked.
"They have beautiful beaches there! While Misty battles, you can sunbathe with me and watch the battle from some distance," Tracey suggested.
"Sounds good to me," Daisy said. "And where will we go from there?"
"Navel Island," Tracey said. "There's a gorgeous beach there as well, and there's an Orange Gym there as well."
"Oh, please, not there again..." Misty moaned, while thinking about something painful, disturbing and uncomfortable.
"I wonder why Misty hates Navel Island so much, she seems really uncomfortable," Gyarados thought. "Something painful must've happened there the last time Misty was there. I've never been there myself, I hope it's going to be fun." Then, he was ready to swim onwards and to show his energy! "Gyaaaahhh! Gyarados!"
