Pokémon BW: Yin-Yang Quest

Arriving at Earth Town, Taylor looked at the Town Map. Apparently, there was still a ways to go before they got to Nimbasa City. "And they call this a shortcut?" Mia questioned in frustration. "I don't believe this!"

"Ivy-saur, Ivy-saur…"

"Do you believe that?" Taylor asked as he pointed to an Ivysaur walking by and carrying boxes in its vines. A surprised Mia looked up Ivysaur in the Pokédex.

"Ivysaur, the Seed Pokémon, and the evolved form of Bulbasaur," the Dex explained. "When the bud on its back starts swelling, a sweet aroma wafts to indicate the flower's coming bloom."

The duo soon spotted a Charmeleon and Wartortle following the Ivysaur and also carrying boxes. Mia looked up those two in the Pokédex as well, receiving more information on the Kanto native Pokémon.

"Charmeleon, the Flame Pokémon, and the evolved form of Charmander. In the rocky mountains where Charmeleon live, their fiery tails shine at night like stars."

"Wartortle, the Turtle Pokémon, and the evolved form of Squirtle. It is said to live 10,000 years. Its furry tail is popular as a symbol of longevity."

"Bring them here, guys!" a girl instructed. The three of them put the boxes in a storage garage. Mia peeked out to see the girl, a brown haired, grey eyed woman wearing a white tank top, khaki pants, and white sneakers.

"Um, hi," Mia greeted. "I just wanted to see your Pokémon for a minute, Miss…"

"Of course," the girl agreed. Mia raced up to the Pokémon and began taking pictures of them with her Pokédex's camera feature.

"Kanto starters, huh?" Mia asked in admiration. Taylor walked up to the woman.

"Don't mind my friend here, she's eager to learn," Taylor told her. "My name's Taylor."

"I'm Mia!" Mia introduced.

"My name is Ashley," Ashley introduced. "I'm from Saffron City in Kanto."

As they drove around Earth Town in Ashley's truck, Taylor leaned back in his seat to relax. "Hey, Ashley, how'd you get these Pokémon on your team?" Mia asked as their Emolga chatted with Charmeleon, Ivysaur, and Wartortle. "You don't find them in Unova."

"Wartortle is my very first Pokémon," Ashley began. "I had it since I received it from Professor Oak's lab as a Squirtle. Isn't that right, Wartortle?"

"Wartortle!" Wartortle agreed as it raised its claw.

"Ivysaur I met during one of my stops in Kanto. Back when Wartortle was a Squirtle, we tended to bicker over food. During one of our fights, we dropped the last rice ball and it went into a sleeping Ivysaur's mouth. It later wanted to help us find food, and it eventually decided to come with me."

"Saur," Ivysaur said as it smiled.

"Charmeleon I received in a trade after I fished an oddly colored Seaking in a lake. This farmer approached me after catching it and requested a trade. I didn't have much use for it, so I agreed and got Charmeleon."

"Char!" Charmeleon said as it stood up.

Storm clouds soon rolled in as the group looked up. The Pokémon sensed something and stood up. "Stop the truck!" Taylor requested. Ashley did so.

They got out and looked up. "There it is," Taylor sensed as he pointed to the sky. "That's why I wanted you to stop."

The three of them saw the silhouette of a large Dragon in the sky. "The legendary Pokémon," Mia began as she looked up the dragon in the Pokédex. "Zekrom…"

"Zekrom, the Deep Black Pokémon," the Dex explained. "This Pokémon appears in legends. In its tail, it has a giant generator that creates electricity."

A blue lightning bolt struck Emolga, and it yelled in pain as electricity coursed into his body. "Emolga!" Mia yelled in concern. Too much was eventually taken in, and when the lightning disappeared, he had a look of aggression on his face and blue sparks coming from his cheeks.

"Emolga?" Mia asked, cautiously approaching him.

"E-mon?" Momo asked.

Unleashing a Thunderbolt, Emolga shocked the rest of the group and ran off. "Emolga!" Mia called out. "Wait!"

They heard an engine try to start moments later. "It's no use, the transmission's fried!" Ashley deduced.

"We're going on foot, then," Taylor said as he took out a Poké Ball. "Swoobat!" he called as he threw it up. Swoobat came out of her Poke Ball. Momo jumped onto Swoobat. "Look for Emolga, but don't battle him!"

Mia clenched her fist in frustration. She took a deep breath and held back any tears that threatened to form as she took out Tranquill's Poké Ball. "Help them out, Tranquill!" Mia instructed.

Tranquill came out of her Poké Ball and the Flying-types flew off into the city.

Zapping anything and everything in sight, Emolga caused much panic in his enraged state as computers and other electrical devices started to malfunction.

"E-mon!" Momo called out as she, Swoobat, and Tranquill finally found Emolga. Instinctively, Emolga attacked the three Flying-types with a Thunderbolt, which thankfully missed this time.

A pillar of Grass surrounded Emolga and blew him back. Emolga turned to find the rest of the group running to it. "Bull's Eye, Ivysaur!" Ashley exclaimed.

"Emolga, stop!" Mia commanded as she raced up to him and embraced him. "Emolga, it's me! Mia! You wouldn't hurt your Trainer, would you?"

She got her answer in the form of a Thunderbolt. Emolga jumped out of her arms and let out a yell, electricity shooting everywhere from its cheeks. Mia held in her tears as she stood up.

"I've got no choice, then," she said as she took out a Poké Ball. "You're the only one who'll fight any Pokémon with no regrets. Snivy, you're on!"

She threw the Poké Ball and Snivy came out. Snivy uncrossed his arms. "Vine Whip!" Mia commanded.

Snivy released the vines and sent them to Emolga. "Ivysaur, join in with your own Vine Whip!" Ashley ordered.

The vines wrapped around Emolga and bound him. "B-be careful with him!" Mia requested. Emolga sent the electric shock through the vines, shocking both Ivysaur and Snivy. The Grass-typed Pokémon let go.

Blue sparks coming from Emolga's cheeks, he rushed to Ivysaur, soon cloaked in blue electricity. "Wild Charge?" Mia asked in shock. "Emolga, stop!"

As Ivysaur took the hit, its body was covered in light blue light. The bud on its back bloomed into a large, palm tree-like flower as it grew larger. A seed also began to sprout from the flower. When the light faded, Ivysaur had evolved to Venusaur. Taylor looked up Venusaur on the Pokédex.

"Venusaur, the Seed Pokémon, and the evolved form of Ivysaur," the Dex explained. "After a rainy day, the flower on its back smells stronger. The scent attracts other Pokémon."

Emolga tried to shock Venusaur with multiple Thunderbolts, but to no avail. Emolga rushed in for another Wild Charge at Venusaur. "Venusaur, use SolarBeam!" Ashley commanded.

"Snivy, use Leaf Tornado!" Mia commanded.

The flower on Venusaur's back glowed as she collected sunlight. She fired the beam of solar energy as Snivy fired the Leaf Tornado at Emolga. Both attacks hit, knocking Emolga out. Yellow sparks were coming from his cheeks as his breathing became irregular.

"Your Emolga will be fine," the Nurse told her when they got to the center. "The lightning strike transferred too much electric power into him and he went beserk. He should be fine after a long rest."

"Thanks, Nurse Joy," Mia thanked. As soon as the nurse left, she went into the next room. Looking through a window, she saw a knocked out Emolga being treated by the Audino as it slept.

Mia finally broke down upon seeing this sight and dropped to her knees. Taylor was watching this and looked down in frustration.
