Chapter 6 – Saved by Absol
Nahïm and Joyce walk on the road. They are about to enter the woods. Joyce looks around, as she walks past the trees. Nahïm smiles: "So… According to my memory, the Absol must live here in these woods around here. Since we're close to a mountain range, there's a big shot you'll find one. That is because Absol actually live in the mountains… They take care of their cubs here in the woods you know…" Joyce nods, holds her pass and lets out Belossom. Then she goes on with walking and looking around. Nahïm goes on: "So here, you should be able to catch some strong parent pokémon." Joyce stops immediately. She says: "Mm yes, but then I feel bad for their cubs!" Nahïm walks to her and says: "You shouldn't catch both of them… But if you didn't, then you wouldn't be a part of team Rocket… Besides… We can send the cubs to Giovanni… Remember?" Joyce walks on, Nahïm follows. Joyce: "You're right… I'm sure Giovanni would take good care of them… Let's do that."
Nahïm nods: "Al right…" Then he hops onto another subject: "Well, do you see that lake over there?" Joyce holds Belossom's paw and nods. They walk together hand-in-hand. Nahïm keeps looking in front of him and goes on: "That's where we're going to wait for Absol…" The three of them walk on, until they're removed from the lake just 2 metres. Joyce hesitates: "Should I let Belossom use Sweet Scent or something?" Nahïm drops himself in the grass and says: "Mm… Yes, but make sure the scent is strong… I'm going to fish here." He swings his rod and the line is casted a few metres away. Joyce sighs and turns her back on Nahïm. She says to Belossom: "Mm… Fine… Belossom use Sweet Scent please!! And A LOT of it!!" Belossom nods and she starts dancing. Nahïm takes a peek at Joyce and mumbles: "Finally she does what I tell her to do…" He was amazed when he got a reply from her: "Just this once… Don't get used to it! Besides… You said Absol can use Ice Beam… Wich fits with an Ice Queen… Am I right? So yes only just this once…" Nahïm was very, very surprised she'd actually heard him. He lifts his shoulders and goes on with the fishing.
"Yes… You're right… And besides, Absol are quite beautiful… A lady should have such pokémon!" he shouts over the lake. Joyce is surprised Belossom hasn't lured any pokémon yet. She makes her try harder. Then Joyce turns her attention to Nahïm again: "Who says I'm a LADY? I'm more like an… I dunno… AN ICE QUEEN?!" Nahïm ignores her. Joyce gets annoyed: "And since when do Absol live in water?!" Nahïm turns around, still holding his rod. He says: "I'm not searching for Absol, you IDIOT! I'm fishing for Gyarados!" Then he turns around again and starts whistling a tune. Now, Joyce gets even more annoyed: "WHAT!! But Absol was the plan!!"
Nahïm responds: "If I'm lucky though, I might even catch a Sharpedo!" He smiles, as if he's a three year old who gets a candy cane. Joyce gets a sweat drop on her face: "OMG, what am I gonna do with you… You're such a random like person…" Nahïm laughs and says: "Well, I chose this lake to wait for Absol. But I need to profit to! Because profit is everything! So, use your time right…Remember that!" Then Joyce gets another sweat drop. Suddenly they're under attack. Because of Belossom tried harder, she now attracted a swarm of Beedrill, Ninjask and Pinsir!! Joyce shakes her head and loses her two sweat drops. Now she puts on an OMG-face. Nahïm hears the buzzing and turns around. When he sees the bugs he gets up immediately: "Erm… I guess we should run now…" Anger markings appear on Joyce's face: "O really?! Do I recall correctly it was YOU who said to use Sweet Scent… And make sure its STRONG??"
After bursting out like that, she starts running. Nahïm runs after her, still holding the fishing rod. He's swung back. He feels like his arm broke: "Wow! I must've landed a big one!" As stubborn as he is, he starts reeling in the line. Joyce stops running immediately and looks at Nahïm. He's reeling in a Magikarp… Joyce gets a sweat drop on her face: "C'mon!! We don't have TIME for this!! Do you have a death wish or something?! RUN!!" Nahïm realizes its to late to run now. The insects are close enough to him to hit him. He throws a pokéball and shouts: "Torchic! It's your game now!!" Torchic appears. Joyce runs to him and shouts: "Belossom! You finish off that Magikarp with your Razor Leaf!" Then she looks at Nahïm and mumbles: "At least we can go then…" And she gets another sweat drop on her face.
Nahïm hears her and says: "No… Keep your balls ready… Torchic, use Ember!" Torchic spouts fire, aiming for the flying Beedrill. Joyce: "Okay fine, I'll keep them ready… What for?" She sees Belossom scored a direct hit and she KO'd Magikarp. Joyce throws a pokéball. She hits the Magikarp right on the head with it. In no time the ball shows Magikarp is caught. She says: "One more for Giovanni!! Or do YOU want it?" She sticks out her tongue. In the meanwhile, Belossom starts attacking the bugs as well. Nahïms face is covered with anger markings: "A MAGIKARP? ARE YOU NUTS? I'D RATHER WANT A PINSIR OR NINJASK! NOT SOME PATHETIC FISH!!" Joyce backs off and says: "Well, you DID reel him in…" Suddenly bright white light comes out of the lake.
Joyce sees her own shadow in front of her and turns around. She has to protect her eyes, for the bright light could blind her easily. When the light calms down a bit, she looks at the lake: "What's that all about?" She turns back to Belossom, though sees she's in battle. Belossom gets hit by Pinsir. Joyce turns her attention back on the battle with the bugs, so Nahïm can take a look at the lake. Nahïm turns his attention to the lake and is amazed and says: "I don't know… Torchic, protect Belossom!" Joyce winks at Nahïm and with that she shouts: "Mudkip, you go too! Help Torchic and Belossom!" Mudkip nods and starts attacking the bugs with Water Gun. Nahïm turns around to look at the battle every now and then. He says: "Belossom is weak against Insects! Keep your distance!"
Joyce nods: "Belossom, use your Sleep Powder. Stay behind Torchic and Mudkip at all times!!" Belossom nods and starts spreading Sleep Powder towards the insect pokémon. Nahïm peeks again and says: "Keep that Ember attack up, Torchic!!" Belossom makes the Beedrill go to sleep and Torchic hits Ninjask hard. Joyce smiles: "Mudkip, use your Tackle! Belossom, use Sweet Scent to lure the pokémon closer!" Mudkip with his Tackles and Torchic with his Embers make the insects get no chance to strike back. They get weaker by the minute. Joyce starts throwing pokéballs. Nahïm throws a pokéball to Ninjask. As he throws it, he hears a big splash behind him. When he turns around again he sees bubbles in the water. Joyce smiles happily: "Lets see what I got here…" She starts picking up the pokéballs she's thrown. "A Ninjask is caught, as are two Beedrill and a Tangela." Nahïm turns his head: "Tangela?? Hmm, so no Absol… But Joyce, did you just see the water? It's behaving strange… This doesn't feel to good…"
Joyce is still battling against a Pinsir, so she can't afford to look. She shouts: "Sorry, no can't see… I'm fighting here!" Mudkip tackles the last two pokémon standing. Joyce throws a pokéball. "Yes! Got a Pinsir for our boss!" She smiles and puts it among the others she's caught. Torchic burns the last Ninjask and Nahïm snags it. "Nice, so I got my own Ninjask now! Torchic, you're tired aren't you? Your pokémon seem pretty exhausted as well… Maybe you should make them rest?" Joyce shakes her head: "Nope, Belossom and Mudkip still have plenty enough of energy left!" Nahïm creeps closer to the lake and says: "I have a bad feeling about this… About the lake, that is… Vaporeon, stay guard on the bank!" Joyce gets irritated, what's all the fuss about some lake? "Mudkip, you go check out what's going on in that water!" Mudkip shakes and gets closer, step by step. Nahïm stops him: "No way you're going in that water!" Mudkip gets scared and runs back to Joyce. She hides behind her legs. Joyce: "Mudkip! You scared chicken!! Umm… Sorry Torchic…" She gets a sweat drop.
Mudkip pulls Joyce's skirt, so she picks her up. Joyce straightens Mudkip's ribbon. "There, you look a lot better now!" Mudkip still looks scared, though so does Nahïm now. Joyce: "What're you scared for?" Nahïm runs to Joyce, steals her pokédex (wich she stole from prof. Birch) and opens it in front of the lake. A vague computer voice says: "Gyarados. The atrocious pokémon. It has an extremely aggressive nature. The Hyper Beam it shoots from its mouth totally incinerates all targets." Joyce: "Mm… Gyarados huhn…? Never actually seen one before… But let me guess… We need an electric pokémon, don't we?"
"O I did see one before… And I know just how to beat it… Without an electric pokémon!" Nahïm states. Joyce lifts up her shoulders: "Belossom, use Sweet Scent to lure the Gyarados out of its hiding place!" Suddenly an Absol jumps out of the woods. It's a female, no doubt she is raising cubs. Joyce squeaks: "Absooool!!" Gyarados keeps roaring. Joyce dryly turns around and says: "Gezundheit! You really do have a weird cough!" Nahïm earnestly says: "You take care of that Absol, I'll take care of this one!" Joyce nods and winks: "Sure, good luck partner!" Then she turns around to focus on her own battle. Nahïm shouts to the Gyarados: "So… It's a battle you want? Then a battle you can get! Go Ninjask!!" He throws a ball and Ninjask comes flying out. In the meanwhile, Belossom uses her Sleep Powder, wich makes Absol fall asleep. Then Joyce says to Mudkip: "Use Tackle!!" On the other side of the battlefield, the Gyarados charges Hyper Beam. Nahïm: "Ninjask, use Double Team!!" A lot of Ninjask appear, circling around Gyarados. Gyarados won't even try to find the right one and shoots his Hyper Beam to Nahïm. He dodges, and so does Joyce. The Hyper Beam scores a direct hit at Absol. Joyce: "Wow, thanks partner!" Nahïm lifts up his shoulders: "Not completely according to plan… But hey, it worked!! Besides… I can't help being a good trainer!" Joyce throws a pokéball to the Absol. It starts beeping. She turns her attention to Nahïm.
"Belossom, charge your Solarbeam on that Gyarados!" she shouts. Nahïm sighs: "Are you really such a noob…? Don't you know Solarbeam will do regular damage?" Joyce looks at him with a confused look on her face. Nahïm goes on: "Gyarados is many times considered a Dragon-type. But actually… He's a water and flying type!" Joyce lifts her shoulders and shouts: "So what? Belossom, you listen to Nahïm and do as he says!" She looks behind her and sees Absol came out of the pokéball. She makes Mudkip use Water Gun and throws another one. Nahïm: "Thank you for letting me lend Belossom!" Joyce: "No problem!" She winks at him and then keeps staring at the pokéball. Finally it pings and Absol is caught. Joyce turns her attention to Nahïms battle again.
Gyarados uses his Hydro Pump. Nahïm: "Belossom, hide behind Ninjask! Ninjask, use Protect, now!" A protect barrier rises in no-time. Nahïm laughs: "Yes! My plan works!" Joyce blends in: "Absol, use Snatch on Gyarados!" Gyarados performs Dragon Dance and Snatch activates. So now, its Absol who uses Dragon Dance. Nahïm makes Belossom use Sleep Powder. Gyarados uses Aqua Tail. Joyce: "Absol, use Thunderbolt!" Gyarados creates a water wall, though the water gets static because of Absol's Thunderbolt. Nahïm: "Ninjask, use Swords Dance! Then use Aerial Ace!" Joyce: "Mudkip, use Water Gun! Belossom, Razor Leaf! And you Absol, use Ice Beam!" The pokémon combine their powers and Gyarados gets KO'd. Joyce makes a dance of joy with her pokémon. Absol is the only one who goes to lay down and ignore it.
Nahïm throws a pokéball. The pokéball starts beeping, though after a while it pings. Nahïm got himself a Gyarados. And a powerful one for sure! Nahïm: "Hmm… You'll do just fine, Gyarados." Mudkip makes a weird dance and Joyce and Belossom join in. Again, Absol ignores it. She stares over the lake. Nahïm still can't believe it: "Wow, I never thought we could actually beat him…" Joyce keeps on dancing and says: 'Well, thanks to me you DID get him!" She sends him a wink and waves at Absol. Then she seats herself next to her. Joyce can see the family of Absol at the other side. A male Absol and three cubs stand there. Joyce softly says to Absol: "Go to them, go. If you can get them to come here, I'll take you all along on an adventure!" She winks to Absol and gets up again. Absol walks off.
Nahïm: "This is a very strong Gyarados, you know! … Hey… Where are you going?" Joyce keeps on walking and says: "Mm, sending those insect pokémon to Giovanni!" When Nahïm nods, Joyce starts shouting: 'DELIBIRD!! GET YOUR ASS HERE AT ONCE!!" Since Delibird never lets those two out of sight, its obvious he's there quickly. Nahïm gets a sweat drop on his face, though walks to Delibird as well. The Delibird lands on a rock nearby and Joyce walks to him. "Why hello little pet!" She pets it and gives him the pokéballs. "Here you go! And say hello to Gio for me please!" She winks. Nahïm shouts: "Wait!! I have a pokémon for Giovanni as well." He hands over the pokéball with a Ninjask within. Joyce winks at Delibird: "Yes you can go now sweetieeee!" Delibird hops in the air and starts using his wings. He's flying now.
"Such cutie you are!!" Joyce shouts and she sends a kiss to him. Delibird sends a kiss back. A sweat drop appears on Nahïm's face. Then he says: "Okay, well… I'm at a total of five pokémon now!" Joyce waves Delibird off and when she can't see him anymore she turns to Nahïm. "Well, I got three now. By the way… It's time to nurse our pokémon!" Nahïm is confused: "You didn't keep Tangela?" Joyce shakes her head: "Nope, to many strings for me…Besides… I already have a grass pokémon!" Joyce pets Belossom, wich makes Belossom give her a hug. Nahïm gets a smile on his face: "True… Hmm… I have three flying types in my team! Pretty funny actually…"
Joyce starts laughing: "Mm… Yes you doooo! Well you really DO need flying pokémon… Since you're a HOTHEAD!! Who else has to cool you off…?!" Now she's rolling on the floor, laughing. Nahïms stomach rumbles. He says: "Ha… Ha… Ha… Okay now I'm hungry… Taillow and Ninjask, go search some berries! Gyarados and Vaporeon, go search some water plants!" Joyce lays on the grass, sun bathing. "Mm… Belossom, Absol and Mudkip… RELAX…" Belossom and Mudkip go to lay next to their trainer. Nahïm: "YOU LAXY BUM!! Go get us some firewood, NOW!!"
Joyce turns around with a smile on her face. She is laying on her belly now. "Why thank you for the compliment! And NO! I'm not going to give up this spot so you can steal it! Goodnight!" She waves at Nahïm, though realizes Absol is still busy gathering her family. She goes to sit on her butt and looks over the lake. She sees Delibird and Absol across the lake. Nahïm gets irritated by her attitude: "Gyarados, Hyper Beam!!" Gyarados starts charging and Joyce gets up immediately. "Fine, fine! I'll go! C'mon Belossom, Mudkip!" She runs off with her pokémon running after her.
Nahïms pokémon have gathered all kinds of berries. "So, it seems we have everything… Lets eat!" All his pokémon start eating berries. Finally, Absol joins them. Joyce comes walking back with firewood in her hands. After Gyarados was done firing the Hyper Beam, of course! Joyce goes to sit next to Absol. "Here you go Absol, you deserved the largest berry. You saved the day!" Absol accepts the berry and Joyce puts it in front of her. Absol nibbles every now and then, though misses her family. She's told them to go with Delibird, and she'd be with them soon. Nahïm puts the fire wood on a pile, and makes Torchic to flame it. "Time for tea everyone! Mm… I could use this… GOT SOME STRONG ROOTS OVER HERE!!"
Absol gets up and uses Slash on the roots. Then she goes back to her berry, turning her butt towards the group. Nahïm grabs a small pan out of his jacket. Joyce starts laughing: "Maybe you should put that in my bag… Lovely campfire though… Mudkip, use Water Gun to fill up that pan!" She sits with her legs crossed, leans back and looks at the sky. It's already becoming dark… Nahïm nods and starts making tea. They both chat overnight. Nahïm: "Did you know my grandmother runs the herbal shop in Lavaridge?" Joyce goes to lay down on her left side. "No, actually I didn't know… Though now I do… I bet you didn't know Claire is my sister? You know… The dragon gym leader? Blackthorn gym…?" Nahïm looks surprised, then gets angry: "That's a lie!" Joyce pets Mudkip, who lays in front of her. Absol comes and join the party as well. Belossom sits next to her.
"No its not! I can prove it to you! We could go visit her…" Nahïm shakes his head: "No… Blackthorn is far away… And not on our schedule!" Joyce gets annoyed and says: "Fine, then tomorrow lets dress up and enter a pokécentre! I'll call her for you!! Or do you want to enter looking like team Rocket…?" She gets a sweat drop on her face. Nahïm shakes his head: "Of course I'm not gonna enter a pokécentre, looking like team Rocket! Anyway… Because my grandmother runs the place in Lavaridge… I know wich plants I can use for potions… And Powders… And tea, of course! Though… Its sooooo bitter… So I always carry sugar… To sweeten the substance…" He smiles and puts some sugar in the pan. He drinks out of it and lets Joyce drink too.
Joyce laughs and shakes her head: "What else do you keep in your pockets!! You know… Just put it in my bag all right? Tomorrow you won't have to carry that much along…" She winks at Nahïm. As they prepare to go to sleep Nahïm says: "All right! Thanks!" Then they go to sleep, every one of them… Tomorrow will be a big day…
Well that's the end of chapter 6
