A young boy named Kyle sets out on a journey through the many regions in the world of Pokemon with a lot of different people who all have different ambitions.

But can he overcome the obstacles that block his way?

12. Chapter 12

A Sticky Situation!

On our way to Castelia City, Zach, Evelyn and I stopped at the entrance of a looming jungle-like terrain: Pinwheel Forest.

"Whoo!" shouted an extatic Zach, panting along with his partner, Dewott. "That was an awesome workout session, huh Dewott?"

"Dew, Dew!' panted the tired Pokemon.

"Well," Evelyn said, "Monferno and I aren't even tired yet!"

"Mon!" said the fire monkey, punching the air energetically.

"Yeah," I said,"but Servine and I got here first AND we even had enough time to have a snack while waiting for you!"

"Vine!" agreed my partner, taunting the others.

"Whatever," said Zach, rolling his eyes. "So this is Pinwheel Forest, huh?"

"Yep!" I said. "This is the final obstacle, apart from Skyarrow Bridge, to get to Castelia City for my next badge!"

We headed into the forest, all our Pokemon out and looking around. Monferno, Servine, and Dewott lead the way, while Herdier, Munna, Gible, Axew, Pidove, and Purrloin stayed in the back with us.

After about an hour trekking through the forest, there was a cloud of smoke in front of us. I started coughing, and then I realized why the cloud was here.

"Team Plasma!" I yelled.

"You got that right, twerp!" cackled the evil Becky from in front of us. "Evil and proud!"

"Same for me!" said Barry with pleasure of our annoyance.

"Forgetting me?" said a stranger dressed in a Team Plasma outfit.

Who was that? Was he a new recruit for Team Plasma?

"Philip's the name!" shouted the man. "Evil's my game!"

Ugh. Now there were three of them!

"It doesn't matter!" shouted Evelyn angrily. "Axew, let's roll!"

"Gible, I choose you!"

"Pidove, help us out!"

As Becky and Barry made a grab for their PokeBalls, Philip joined them. He was going to battle us!

"Oddish, spotlight!"

"Magby, rumble!"

Philip then cried, "Sandile, let's go!"

"Who's that Pokemon?" I wondered aloud.

"Sandile, the Desert Croc Pokemon. Sandile travels just below the surface of the desrt sand, with only its nose and eyes sticking out. The warmth of the sand keeps it from getting too cold."

Magby and Sandile started the battle off by using a Fire Spin/Sand Tomb combination, trapping our Pokemon in one place, or at least trying to. Axew was surrounded by the trap, but Gible and Pidove managed to dodge it.

To counter the two Pokemon's attacks, Axew used Dragon Rage and completely exploded the ring surrounding it. All that training paid off!

Then, Oddish used Absorb on the vulnerable Gible, draining its energy away, but Pidove countered the move with a super-strong Gust and even damaged Oddish. Meanwhile, Axew used Dragon Rage on Magby and Magby used Flamethrower. They both cancelled each other out.

Suddenly, Sandile used Sand Tomb and trapped the battling Gible and Pidove, who couldn't escape! Sandile went into the Sand Tomb and Tackled the helpless Pokemon with a lot of strength, while Axew was still struggling to defeat the Magby.

That's when, all of a sudden, a web popped out of nowhere and hit Magby in the face. Axew used a successful Bite attack and knocked it out! Then, another web came out and scooped Oddish up, attatching it to a tree. That gave Axew the chance to once again use Bite. Where were these webs coming from.

Inside the twister, Gible and Pidove managed to use a Gust/Tackle combo and hurt Sandile, who was blasted out of the Sand Tomb, ending the sand twister. Gible and Pidove were free!

Gible used Dragon Rage and knocked Sandile out. We beat Team Plasma!

"Ugh!" screeched Philip, returning his Pokemon back to its PokeBall.

"You see why these guys are SO annoying?" grunted the annoyed Barry.

"Let's get out of here before they knock us into the air!" shouted Becky.

The evil trio ran deeper into the woods, disappearing from sight.

I turned to Zach and Evelyn triumphantly, but Evelyn was thinking about something else.

Suddenly, a strange Pokemon came swinging on what looked like a web vine and hit Evelyn in the face. It then jumped onto her and started to cry, "Sewa, Wadle!"

"WHAAA?!" screeched the helpless Evelyn.

"Who's that?" asked Zach, interested in the current situation.

"Sewaddle, the Sewing Pokemon. Sewaddle makes clothing for itself by sewing leaves together with the sticky thread it produces from its mouth. Fashion designers often use it as a mascot."

"So that's where the webs came from!" said Zach, finally understanding what had happened during our battle.

"Hey Evelyn," I said. "I think Sewaddle likes you!"

Evelyn looked to he bug Pokemon, shocked. "You do?" she asked curiously.

"Sewa, Sewa!" it said joyfully, nodding.

"So..." Evelyn thought. "Hey, Sewaddle! Do you wanna come with me on my journey? We'll have a lot of cool batles just like the one right now!"

Sewaddle looked to her, then to me, then to Zach, and then finally to our Pokemon. Then, returning its gaze to Evelyn, it stared for a moment, and then nodded.

"Really?" said Evelyn, relieved by the Pokemon's answer. "That's great!"

She held out a PokeBall, and Sewaddle went inside.

"All right!" screamed Evelyn. "I just caught... a Sewaddle!"

We camped in the forest that night. The next day, we trekked for a little while longer through the forest. We got to know Evelyn's new partner, who would swing from tree to tree with its web swings.

Finally, we reached the edge of the forest. There, there was a woman screaming for help. We rushed to her side and saw that her Pokemon, a Patrat, was poisoned!

"Mam," I asked worriedly. "What happened here?"

"My Patrat was poisoned!" she screamed, terrified.

"How?" Evelyn asked.

"Well, you see..."

"Are we far enough?" asked Becky to Barry and Philip.

"Probably," answered Barry. "Philip, where did you say the helicopter was picking you up to go back to headquarters?"

"At Skyarrow Bridge," he responded. "Speaking of which, I must get going! See you in Castelia City!"

With that, he continued on down the path.

"Well, let's get..." started Barry, until he realized something.

There was a PokeBall on the floor. Barry picked it up, and looked at it curiously.

"A PokeBall?" asked Becky, also curious. "There could be a Pokemon inside!"

"One way to find out!" said Barry, hoping for a new Pokemon.

Out of the PokeBall, fortunately for Team Plasma, came a Pokemon. It was a bug Pokemon, but not like Sewaddle. This one was a...

"A Venipede!" shouted Barry gleefuly. "It's a Bug and Poison type! Plus, they're super strong!"

"Really?" asked Becky happily. "Give it to me, then!"

"No way!" protested Barry. "I found it, I keep it! Isn't that right, my precious Venipede?"

The Venipede, now in Barry's hands, used String Shot on Becky's mouth, then nudged Barry happily.

While taking the webs off her mouth, Barry heard a Trainer with her Patrat.

"Hey," he said, suddenly. "How about we test out Venipede's new strength?"

He approached the Trainer and the Patrat, and then said,"Venipede, use Poison Sting now!"

Venipede shot out poisonous needles from its mouth and poisoned the Patrat.

"Nice job!" exclaimed Barry, as the trainer screamed in fear. "Now, let's go!"

After we heard about the Trainer and the Venipede, we gave the lady a Pecha berry to help Patrat and set off to look for the treacherous trainer. I was thinking it could be Team Plasma, but none of their Pokemon knew Poison Sting, did they?

Finally, we found Barry and Becky admiring a Venipede and shouting at it to use Poison Sting. So that was how they poisoned the Patrat!

"Team Plasma!" shouted Evelyn.

"In the flesh!" shouted Becky.

"So you're the criminals who poisoned that innocent Patrat!" yelled an aangry Zach.

"Yes, siree!" shouted Barry. "Now, Venipede, give them a taste of that Poison Sting!"

Venipede shot out a Poison Sting, but it was blocked by a web. Sewaddle! Sewaddle was up to battle that Venipede.

Venipede then used Rollout on Sewaddle, spinning around at incredible speed, and it hit Sewaddle continuously. Sewaddle didn't have the speed to react!

But what it could do was use String Shot on the rolling Venipede to slow it down enough to use another signature move of its: Bug Bite. Venipede was damaged, but hit back with a strong Tackle! Sewaddle got hit again and flew off into a nearby tree. Then, it used its strings to grab ahold of the tree and swing.

Venipede tried to attack with Poison Sting, but Sewaddle swiftly swang and dodged the poisonous attacks. It was incredible!

Then, Sewaddle used String Shot and tied Venipede, not allowing it to move. While Venipede was stuck, Sewaddle had enough time to use Bug Bite at a constant rate, eventually knocking it out.

"Sewaddle, nice!" shouted a happy Evelyn.

"Venipede, return!" screamed a horrified Barry. "Becky, let's go quick before they blast us off!"

And the duo ran back into the woods, disappearing once more.

Finally. we reached the end of the forest. We were all relieved.

"Sewaddle," Evelyn said suddenly. "I wanted to thank you for choosing me as your Trainer. You're an awesome Pokemon, and you are super strong!"

"Sewaddle!" said the Pokemon, blushing.

Evelyn caught a new Pokemon, we had beat Team Plasma once again, and we were out of the woods. Things were going up and up from here. Castelia City, you're next!
