Pokémon: Amethyst
Episode Three: Struggle In Snake Town!
(Announcer Voice): Last Time on Pokémon: Amethyst, we left young Amethyst as she started on her way to Snake Town, on a mission to pick up a mysterious package for Professor Evergreen.
Now we re-join her as she ventures out onto Route 531, ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead…
"Run away, run away, run away!" Amethyst cried as she fled from a small pack of snarling dog-like Pokémon. They were made up of gray and brown rocks, and looked vaguely like cocker spaniels. The smallest were no more than puppies, and barely a foot tall, but they were led by much larger dog-Pokémon that were almost as tall as Amethyst herself, and a few others that were only a foot or so smaller than that.
"What are you?!" The twelve-year-old shouted, pulling out her PokéDex, and aimed the camera over her shoulder at the Pokémon. It chimed, and the feminine, robotic voice spoke up.
"Bouldaner, The Boulder Pokémon," it informed the new Trainer as she continued to run. "A very pack-oriented Pokémon, this Rock-Type can be very aggressive when faced with a threat to its Pack, which is usually made up of its pre-evolved form, Rockiel, and Basic Form, Pebber." Here, the PokéDex chimed again, and continued.
"Rockiel, The Rock Pokémon. This Pokémon is rather serious, unlike its pre-evolution form, Pebber. It is often left to guard weaker members of its Pack, and will follow the Lead of the Pack Alpha, which is usually Bouldaner." Another chime as Amethyst lunged over a ledge, gasping for breath as a stitch in her side made itself known as her lungs and leg muscles burned, the deep, rumbling growls of the Rock-Type Pokémon behind her giving her strength to continue beyond where she would normally have stopped.
"Pebber, The Pebble Pokémon," her PokéDex continued blithely. "Much easier to train and deal with than it's evolutions, this Pokémon is friendly and playful, and will often be found wrestling with other Pokémon of its kind, or attempting to mimic its pack mates." The PokéDex chimed again, and Amethyst would had laughed hysterically at it had she had the breath. As it was, she was too busy trying not to go flying as she found herself abruptly zooming down a hill, the Pack on her heels (although, she noticed, when she glanced back, that several of the Pebber had taken the hill as a slide, and were gleefully rolling down it, causing an appropriate "rockslide" affect.)
"Stop chasing me!" She shouted, and then cried out as she tripped, rather ironically, over a rock. Closing her eyes tight, Amethyst prayed that she didn't seriously get hurt when she landed…
Only to gasp as she landed in a surprisingly deep creek, promptly chocking on water as she thrashed and sputtered, head breaking the surface as she was swept away by the current. Blinking water from her orange eyes, still coughing, Amethyst squinted up at the bank she'd tripped off of, and blanched as she watched the massive Bouldaners running along the ledge, growling at her as they easily kept pace with the water, though they made sure not to get too close to the ledge. Farther back, the Rockiels that had been following them were stopped, keeping the few Pebbers from falling into the water once their hillside tumbles were over.
"Oh. Come on!" Amethyst shouted at the aggressive Rock-Types, smacking her hand on the water in aggravation, and sending a small splash upward, making the Bouldaner closest to the ledge to snarl and lunge away, nearly smashing into its companion. Pausing, Amethyst eyed the dog-like Pokémon cautiously, and, in that moment, the figurative lightbulb flicked on, and she grinned.
"Rock-Type's are weak against water!" She gasped, barely managing to keep from swallowing another mouthful of creek water. With this in mind, the Trainer began to splash furiously, sending handfuls of water up toward the Bouldaners, making those hit with the cold water yelp and flinch, smashing into one another as they tried to escape her "attack". After a few minutes of this, they stopped chasing her, yelping and snarling as she traveled further down the creek, grinning even as her teeth began to chatter from the cold.
"'Lo, there!" A voice called, and Amethyst turned, blinking as she spotted a small stone bridge up ahead, a couple of men dressed in overalls and farmer's gear waving at her.
"You need help there, missy?" One of them asked and, relieved, Amethyst waved back. With a bit of work, the two men pulled her out of the water, and Amethyst collapsed on the ground with an exhausted sigh, thanking them.
"Run into that ol' Bouldaner Pack, eh, Missy?" one of the farmers asked sympathetically, shaking his head.
"Yeah," she sighed, squeezing water from her braid and grimacing as she eyed her (mostly) water-proof bag, which was caked in mud and grass from her little side-trip. "I didn't even do anything! They just appeared out of the grass and started chasing me!" She huffed; the two men nodded understandably.
"They've been causing mischief all up'n down Route 531 ever since th' creek flooded last spring and washed away a couple'a th'r eggs." The farmer's fellow nodded solemnly, and Amethyst found herself staring back towards the direction she'd come from, spotting the distant dust cloud of the dog-like Rock Pokémon, a pang of sympathy flickering through her.
"Nurse Joy think's they're lookin' for their eggs, n'tha's why th'r still here," the fellow informed her, shrugging. "Ain't nothin' t' me, though. You best get scamperin', Missy," he told her, pointing down the road, where Amethyst could make out a road sign. "You'll be wantin' t' get t' town'n get yerself fixed up, alright?" He and his friend wished her good day and ambled off, and Amethyst sighed as she heaved herself to her feet, and cast another sad stare towards the Bouldaner Pack's territory.
"No wonder they're so aggressive," she murmured, shaking her head faintly. Lifting her faintly-soggy backpack back onto her shoulders, Amethyst started walking. The road sign was a simple thing, one direction leading to Snake Town, the other back towards Shore Town, and the young Trainer continued on her way without hesitation. Up in the trees, Spotirrel chattered at one another, and a few Pidgey's flew off into the distance when they were disturbed.
As she walked, Amethyst enjoyed the moderate-quiet of the Serpentine Forest. As she walked, watching the world around her with caution (she had learned well from the Bouldaner Pack about how to pay attention to her surroundings. She did not want to be caught off guard again, after all.), she noticed a strange purring sound, like a bunch of cats being pet.
"What in the world?" She muttered, confused, and decided to investigate, slinking over to a nearby bush, where some of the purring sounds were coming from. Cautiously, her hand resting on Apollo's Pokéball, she peered over it…
And stared.
There were three relatively small caterpillar-like Pokémon there, though perhaps putting emphasis on the cat part would be best, considering the insect Pokémon all looked very cat-like. They were green, with purple diamonds covering the backs of their bodies (which were made up of three spheres, the largest being the head) with pointed purple "ear" antennae that were topped with small yellow spheres. Much like a cat, they had two spherical yellow mounds on their faces, just under a purple nose, which looked like they would have whiskers. Red fangs and eyes glinted in the sunlight, and their four little yellow legs made soft clicking sounds as they walked. A rounded, curled purple "tail" decorated their rears, looking oddly soft as it swished from it's place held up over their bodies as they continued to make strange purring noises while spitting webs at a pile of leaves, obviously making a nest for themselves.
Cautiously, Amethyst pulled out her PokéDex and aimed it at the little Pokémon.
"Purrm, The Purring Pokémon," it chimed for her easily. "These Bug-Type Pokémon are extremely common in most areas in the Hoseki Region, and can often be heard throughout the day and night. Their constant purring is believed to somehow regulate their body temperatures, as well as form bonds with other Pokémon, who feel comforted and relaxed by the noise." It chimed off and, after a few more minutes of staring at the, admittedly adorable Bug-Types, Amethyst pulled away and continued on her path, shaking her head with an amused smile.
Caterpillars. Heh, the Professor had a great sense of humor.
As she continued to walk, there was a break in the trees ahead of her. When the twelve-year-old reached it, she had to squint as she found herself facing the sun. Shading her eyes, Amethyst was relieved to find herself facing a small, rustic town, with old-fashioned wooden buildings and stables, like an old western movie. There was a saloon and everything, she noticed as she walked under the arch that welcomed all to Snake Town. All around her, men and women were walking around in the same costumes she'd seen on some of her Dad's favorite old cowboy movies, and there were snake-like Pokémon everywhere as well, along with pictures and carvings of them.
"Look out!" A voice cried, and Amethyst instinctively froze, one foot off the ground as a blue-haired woman with blue eyes, dressed in a feminine navy-and-blue sheriff's uniform stalked toward her, a navy-blue cowboy hat perched on her hair and a frown on her face.
"Erm…" Amethyst started, only to blink rapidly as the woman shoved a finger in her face.
"Just what do you think you're doing!" She demanded, and Amethyst could only blink, mystified. "You should know better than to not look where you're walking!" The woman continued and, bewildered, Amethyst pulled her still-lifted foot back and looked down, only to blink at the narrow-eyed Pokémon coiled up there. It looked almost like a coil of rope, made of pale greens and golds, a white tongue flicking out of it's mouth. "Everyone knows that Taipope are extremely dangerous! You could have been seriously hurt!" The woman put her hands on her hips and glared. "Just what do you have to say for yourself, young lady?" The woman demanded; Amethyst floundered, wide eyed.
"At ease, Sheriff Jenny!" A kind voice interrupted, and out of a nearby building a pretty, smiling, pink-haired woman stepped out, dressed in a pink-and-white dress. Toddling behind her was a pink, egg-shaped Pokémon Amethyst recognized as Chansey.
"I was watching the entire time, Sheriff," the pinkette, who could only be Snake Town's Nurse Joy, informed the sheriff earnestly, smiling. "This young lady just arrived in town, from Shore Town as well, and you know that there are far fewer snake-like Pokémon in that area. She's learned her lesson now, though, right?" The Nurse asked, and both women turned to stare at Amethyst, who could only nod with an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry, Sheriff Jenny," she replied honestly. "It won't happen again," she promised; the blue-haired woman frowned at her.
"Hmph," she huffed. "See that it doesn't. The last thing this town needs is another tourist getting poisoned because they weren't careful." Tilting her hat at Nurse Joy and Amethyst, the sheriff turned and stalked away, the spurs on her blue cowboy boots tinkling with every step as she stalked off on patrol.
"Don't mind her," Nurse Joy told Amethyst kindly. "She's just very protective of her town and the people in it. We've been having some issues with Pokémon Thieves as of late, and it's making the Sheriff and Pokémon extra tense." Amethyst frowned, concerned, and Nurse Joy gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, dear. I'm sure she'll catch the culprit soon enough." And, with a warm, close-eyed smiled, the Nurse wandered back into her building, Chansey cheerfully waddling after her. Shaking her head, Amethyst knelt down and smiled at the still-curled form of Taipope.
"I didn't hurt you earlier, did I?" She asked it; it remained silent, flicking its white tongue at her, and Amethyst shook her head, pulling her thus-far faithful PokéDex from her pocket, and aiming it at the Pokémon.
"Taipope, The Neurotoxic Pokémon," it chimed. "This Poison-Type Pokémon is extremely dangerous, as it's venom has proven to be deadly to both Trainers and Pokémon. The Taipope is a generally cantankerous Pokémon, and, if seen, should be treated with caution. Anti-venom for their bite can be found at every Pokémon Center and hospital. A lesser anti-venom can be found at the PokéMart, which works on all general poisons but only slows down the Taipopes deadly venom." Pale, Amethyst slowly pulled her PokéDex back, and eyed the relatively small snake-like Pokémon with wariness.
"I'm just going to leave you be, okay?" She told it; it hissed softly at her, flicking it's white tongue, pale blue eyes unblinking as it glared at her. "Right…" Nervously, she carefully scooted back and out of it's strike range, before standing and walking a wide circle around the Poison-Type, breathing a sigh of relief as she left the Taipope behind.
"Scary," she muttered, before lifting her eyes and looking around. She spotted the Hiss Inn (A three-story wooden building with it's name artfully painted in green against a white background with a snake curling around it) and quickly made her way towards it, pushing open the old saloon-style doors cautiously. Inside, more people dressed in western-style costumes murmured to one another, a tone of worry going around the room.
"They're getting braver," someone muttered as Amethyst made her way to the front desk.
"In broad daylight, too, I never!" A woman exclaimed in the background, and more mutters of discontentment rose.
"A whole nest of Matchiss! And Miss Caroline's newest barrel of Snake Fangs, too!" Someone cried.
"Something must be done!" Someone else declared, and Amethyst finally caught the eye of the green-haired boy frowning behind the desk.
"Um, I'm looking for Charles?" She told him, having to raise her voice slightly to be heard as the crowd continued to talk. "I'm here for Professor Evergreen's package?" The boy blinked, and then winced.
"Aw, shucks, miss," he said, grimacing and dragging a hand through his hair, before setting his yellow cowboy hat on his head again. "You sure picked th' worse time t' show up, after these damnable thieves have hit again, pardon my language," he hurriedly tacked on, tilting his hat apologetically, an earnest, sorrowful expression on his face. "But, I'm sorry t' have t' tell you this, miss, but that package done got snatched right outta the back room!" Amethyst blanched, eyes wide.
"What!?" She yelped, unknowingly gaining the attention of others in the room. "But Professor Evergreen said it was a really important package!" The boy winced and tilted his hat down unhappily.
"I'm real sorry, miss, but there's nothin' I can do about it," he shrugged helplessly. "I'm just a deckhand, I ain't even got a Pokémon outside of my Seaf, an' he just hatched two days ago, doesn't know a single move or nothin'!" He shook his head woefully, pointing at the tiny Seaf pup curled up in a dark green basket, snoring away cutely.
"What am I supposed to do then?!" Amethyst cried, reaching up and tugging on her purple hair, upset that her first mission as a Pokémon Trainer was already going so badly. "Professor Evergreen said she really needed that package!" Shaking her head, Amethyst bit her lip, before straightening up and glaring at the boy. "You know what?" She demanded. "Never mind! I'll just have to get that package back myself!" She declared, and turned, running out of the Inn, ignoring the cries and questions behind her. Carefully watching her footsteps, Amethyst ran through the town, until she reached the Sheriff's Station, bursting through the door and pushing her way through the shouting, irritated crowd, all of them demanding that Sheriff Jenny do something.
"Everyone needs to calm down!" The blue-haired woman shouted, the glaring Houndoom at her side baring its teeth. "Now, I am doing everything I can to get everyone's stolen property back to them, but the Thieves have taken up refuge inside the old Swayson Mine, and you all know how dangerous that place is! It's filled with Taipope and Burnspores! Without the back-up I've asked for from Rubion City, there's nothing I can do but wait!"
"Yeah, but while you're waiting, these no good rats are stealing our Pokémon, our goods, and our livelihoods!" One man cried.
"They stole the newest nest of Matchiss right out of the Hatchery barn!" Another cried, and Amethyst shook her head, turning and pushing her way back through the crowd as Sheriff Jenny once more tried to talk the angry townsfolk down.
She had heard all she needed to hear.
Running to the PokéCenter, she pushed open the doors, and nearly smashed into a boy about her age.
"Whoa there, darlin'!" He yelped, staggering back as she skidded to a stop. "If yer lookin' fer Nurse Joy, she just left ta check on th' Hatchery Barn. The latest theft has done stressed th' poor Pokémon right outta th'r scales!" Amethyst shook her head and looked up at the slightly-taller boy, and mentally added a year or two to her first thought. He had dark cocoa colored skin, bright red, spikey hair, a smattering of dark freckles across his nose, and red eyes (and a nice smile, she also noted but pretended not to.). He was dressed in a white and tan cowboy outfit, a red bandanna around his neck and a white cowboy hat on his head.
"I'm sorry," she told him, shaking her head to refocus on the task at hand; the boy smiled easily, tilting his hat politely.
"Ain't no problem, darlin'," he forgave her easily, and held out a hand, which Amethyst took. It was much larger than hers, and heavily calloused. "Th' name's Maverick! Maverick Walker, Ranch hand at th' Walker Hatchery Barn." Amethyst managed a tense smile.
"Amethyst Tachibana, Pokémon Trainer…" Maverick nodded and the two let go of each others hands.
"What had you in such a hurry, darlin'?" he asked her; Amethyst let out an frustrated sound and yanked lightly on her braid.
"I needed to ask Nurse Joy what the best way to deal with Taipopes and Burnspores, because the thieves are apparently hiding out in the, ah, Swayson Mine? And they stole a very important package that Professor Evergreen sent me to get personally." Maverick's friendly, open face hardened, and he reached up to readjust his cowboy hat with sharp eyes.
"That's a right dangerous mine, darlin', and yer gonna need more th'n Nurse Joy t' get through it," he told her firmly, and Amethyst growled in frustration, yanking on her braid again, before Maverick grinned grimly. "Luckily fer you, I happen to be a dab hand with snake-like Pokémon." He winked, red eyes dark with determination. "I'll lead th' way, darlin', don't you fret." Amethyst sighed, relieved, and nodded, stepping out of the way so that he could lead. As they were walking, though, a familiar coil of "rope" caught her eye.
"Wait!" she blurted, as an idea hit her. She smiled at Maverick's raised eyebrow and confused look, and walked over to the familiar Taipope, kneeling carefully as the snake glared at her with a hiss.
"Taipope," she started seriously, holding its eerie, pale-blue eyes firmly. "There are some very bad people hiding out in the Swayson Mine. Do you know where that is?" Slowly, the Pokémon nodded, flicking its white tongue at her. "Would you be willing to help us through the mine?" she asked; the Poison-Type seemed to consider it, before he gave a low, begrudging sigh/hiss and nodded, grudgingly uncoiling and slithering his three-foot-long body up her cautiously offered arm, to coil around her neck.
"Shucks, darlin'," Maverick muttered, eyeing the Taipope with wary fascination. "I think ya might be a dab hand with snake Pokémon yerself!" Amethyst flushed slightly, and smiled at the taller boy, before her face hardened with determination.
"Let's go catch us some thieves, Maverick, Taipope," she ordered; the two nodded, determined, and the three of them started out. It took half an hour to reach the Mine, which was surrounded by over a dozen warning signs, all proclaiming the area dangerous, snake-filled, and condemned.
"Wonderful," Amethyst muttered weakly grimacing.
"Tai," Taipope hissed around her neck, and slid neatly down onto the ground. He slithered forward, before pausing and turning, staring up at Maverick and Amethyst impatiently.
"I guess that's our cue, darlin'," Maverick told her, pulling a pair of Pokeballs from his pocket with a sly grin. "Come on out, Matchiss, Gardenake!" he called, tossing the Pokeballs. In a flash or red, two snake-like Pokémon appeared.
The larger of the two was an off-white coloring, it's tail ending in a sharp cut, making it look like it was the end of a piece of pale wood. Its head, however, was bright red, and a thin streak of flames rose from its nose-tip to the back of its skull. It was nearly four feet long, and held its head up another two feet. Yellow eyes stared up at the two curiously as it flicked a red tongue at Amethyst.
The other snake was thinner and shorter, made up of grey and green scales, with its underside being green and its top a silverfish grey. Black eyes stared up at them warily, a lime green tongue flickering out. Amethyst pulled out her PokéDex curiously, and aimed it at the two.
"Matchiss, The Matchstick Pokémon," it chimed on the obvious Fire-Type. "These Fire-Type Pokémon are often found in dark caves and areas with high concentration of charcoal. Their red scales can be held by Fire-Type Pokémon to boost Fire-Type moves, while their off-white scales can be used to keep fires burning deep into the night." The PokéDex chimed, and a picture of the other snake-like Pokémon appeared.
"Gardenake, The Mild Pokémon. This Pokémon is a Dual Normal/Grass-Type, and is hard to upset. They can be found in most gardens and fields, and are considered the least temperamental of all the snake-like Pokémon."
"Boys, meet Amethyst," Maverick introduced, then dipped his hat and pointed when Taipope hissed at him. "And Taipope. We're gonna be helpin' these two out t'day, alright?" The two Pokémon hissed and nodded, coiling up as Amethyst pulled out her Pokeball.
"Come on out, Apollo!" She called; the Geckurn flicked his black tongue once the red light of his Pokeball faded, blinking at the three snake-like Pokémon curiously, before his tongue flickered again and his head turned toward the Mine with a hungry look.
"Geckurn! 'Kurn!" He hissed, turning huge eyes on Amethyst and then back to the Mine, body trembling eagerly.
"What is it?" She asked him, startled and concerned about his strange behavior; Maverick made an understanding sound, however, and smiled.
"Aw, th' little guy must sense th' Charcoal in there," he declared, and Amethyst suddenly remembered how Geckurns liked to eat Charcoal, and could find it very easily. An idea began to form, but she put it to the back burner at the moment, and nodded at Maverick.
"Let's do this," she told him; nodding, the two Trainers crept cautiously towards the Mine opening, Taipope leading the way, followed by an eager Apollo, and a much more cautious Matchiss and Gardenake.
(Announcer Voice): What fate awaits our young heroes as they enter the Mine? Will they find the thieves, and reclaim the stolen Pokémon and package? Find out, next time on Pokémon: Amethyst!
A/N: CLIFFHANGER~! And y'all got a look at some more Pokémon too! And before y'all start bitching about how often she uses her PokéDex, I point you in Ash's direction and the entirety of everything. Seriously.
