The last time we saw our heroes, they were about to train
with their pokemon in the forest! Now, in the battle…..
"Alright Shroomish Tackle now!" "Treecko dodge and hit
Shroomish with Quick Attack!" Treecko successfully hit
Shroomish head on with Quick Attack, but Shroomish was
quickly back on its feet again. Shroomish had visible bruises,
but so did Treecko. "Shroomish alright use Stun Spore!"
Treecko got caught in the orange dust and was immediately
paralyzed. "Treecko no!" cried Brennan. "Alright Shroomish end
this with Tackle and then Absorb!" As Shroomish dealt the
finishing blows, Treecko's eyes curled into a swirl and he lay on
the floor, defeated. "Alright good battle Treecko. Return!" A
red light flashed from the pokeballs and captured Treecko, the
grass type changing to the similar red energy expelled, and it
returned to the pokeball. "You too Shroomish. You did well!
Return!" Daniel commanded and Shroomish returned to his
pokeball.
"That was a good battle, Brennan! Hope to see how
powerful you are when I fight you in the League, if I do get
paired up against you, that is." "Same here, Daniel!" The two
trainers shook hands and ran on their way to Rustboro City.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of motors behind them. It was
Professor Birch and his dull dark green jeep. "Hey!" he yelled.
He drove by Brennan and passed him a pokedex. "I forgot to
give this to you earlier!" apologized Birch. "Wow, thanks!"
Brennan said as he received the sleek red machine, with a steel
grey-and-blue slanted pokeball at the bottom. When he opened
it up, it resembled an open cellphone, with a screen at the
center. "This will tell you a pokemon's movepool, its name,
type, level, mood, stats, and many other things." Birch
explained. "Again, thanks Professor!" Brennan shouted, over
the roaring of the motors of the jeep as Birch raced back to his
lab. Brennan thought "What about Daniel's pokedex?" "I
received it in the lab before rushing away." Daniel explained,
seemingly reading Brennan's mind. So, the duo headed on their
way to Rustboro City. However, it was getting dark. "Oh shoot
it's getting dark! We'd better set up our tents here for the
night!" As they pitched their tents, Daniel and Brennan
breathed visible air and wiped their foreheads. "That was
tiring." Daniel said. "You bet!" Brennan said. As Daniel fell
asleep, Brennan stayed awake, thinking of when he would be in
the Pokemon League, battling against Daniel. But slowly, he
too, drifted to sleep.
When Brennan awoke, Daniel was awake beside him,
prodding him with a stick. "HEY! What's that for?" Brennan
exclaimed, whilst Daniel stood up and said "For fun, why?" and
Brennan swore he saw a quick smile. "Anyways I found a river,
wanna have breakfast there? It's really nice!" Daniel said, and
gestured for Brennan to follow him to the river. A quick shape
swam past them, and Brennan whipped out his Pokedex.
Carvanha, the Savage Pokémon. Carvanha has powerful jaws
and razor sharp teeth able to chew through solid steel.
Carvanha will form packs and attack any invaders in its
territory. "Cool! I wanna catch it!" said Brennan as he threw out
Treecko. "Alright Treecko use Pound!" Treecko was about to hit
Carvanha but missed, and instead landed in the water. Treecko
splashed in the water, unable to swim, and the opposing
Carvanha used Bite, but Treecko took little damage from the
attack, instead retaliating with Tackle. The Carvanha was
knocked onto the grass on the other side of the river, and
Treecko clambered onto a rock. Familiar with the dry ground,
Brennan commanded "Alright Treecko Absorb!" and Treecko's
final attack caused the Carvanha to faint. "Poke…..BALL!"
Brennan threw a pokeball at Carvanha, converting it to the red
energy and successfully storing it in the pokeball. "I caught a
Carvanha!" Brennan shouted and let Carvanha out, into the
river. Whipping out his pokedex, he found it was a level 14,
capable of using Leer, Bite, Rage, Focus Energy, and Scary Face.
"I'm so pumped to catch more pokemon!" Brennan shouted.
"So am I!" said Daniel, excitingly. Soon, after 2 hours or so, they
arrived at Rustboro City, panting and tired.
Now, at Rustboro City, what will our heroes do? Will they
challenge the gym leader straight away? Or will they train?
And will Carvanha get the hang of land, being a fish? Find out
all in the next chapter!
