"Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal: The Shining Adventure"
Chapter 3 – Flying Mid-Air Battle and the Mysterious Egg:
Beast Out Ghost: Where's Rena?
Geo: I managed to convince her to go home.
Edward: How?
Geo: I gave her the Lucky Star cast.
BOG: 0.0 YOU WHAT?! ED, REPLACE ME! *runs towards Rena's house*
Geo: -_-U what just happened?
Edward: does it matter? To the chapter!
Gold opened the door in front of him. He looked around, exploring the inside of the Gym. He was amazed by the size of it. He looked around, until a voice called his attention.
"Hello."
Gold jumped back in scare. He then shook his head and looked at the 14 year old in front of him. It was the Gym Leader. He had blue scruffy hair, blue eyes and blue Japanese-traditional clothes.
"H-Hi." Gold felt embarrassed, which made the Gym Leader laugh. !I'm Gold, and I'm here for my first Gym Badge."
"I'm Falkner, the Violet Pokémon Gym leader! People say you can clip flying-type Pokémon's wings with a jolt of electricity... I won't allow such insults to bird Pokémons! I'll show you the real power of the magnificent bird Pokémons!"
Gold sweatdropped. He haven't even got a chance to speak properly and ended up in Falkner saying something senseless to the context.
"IT will be 2-on-2 single battle. First trainer to have his Pokémons unable to continue, loses."
"Understood, no need to repeat!" Gold spoke, getting pumped up for his first Gym Battle.
"I like your guts. Hoothoot, to the battlefield!"
"Hoot!" the little brown Pokémon came out of the Poké Ball, and glared at Gold. Gold had heard about hoothoots, but decided to use the Pokédex anyway.
"Hoothoot, the Owl Pokémon. It marks time precisely. Some countries consider it to be a wise friend, versed in the world's ways. Whatever happens, it keeps rhythm by precisely tilting its head in time. It always stands on one foot. It changes feet so fast, the movement can rarely be seen."
"Ok, let's do this! Aipom-Aniki, go!"
"Aipa!" Aipom jumped out of the Poké Ball, dancing around on the floor happily and pumped up for a battle as well.
"Let's begin then." Falkner declared. "Peck!"
"Hoot!" Hoothoot flew up and dove down towards Aipom, striking him with his beak. Aipom jumped away.
"Aniki, you ok?" Gold asked, but he received a grin and a thumbs up as a response. "Ok then! Focus Punch!"
"Eipa!" Aipom clenched his tail-fist and it became surrounded in a blue aura. Aipom then ran towards Hoothoot.
"Hoothoot, Echoed Voice!"
"HOOOOOOT!" Hoothoot chirped loudly, releasing invisible soundwaves at Aipom, which pushed him back away.
"Ei!" Aipom landed with a flip and landing on his tail.
"Aipom, Tickle!"
Aipom swiftly dashed towards the panting Hoothoot and started tickling his body with his tiny paws. Hoothoot began to laugh, and he became short on his breath.
"Hoothoot, Echoed Voice!" But it was useless. Hoothoot was too much out of breath to even stand up.
"Aipom, let's finish this! Fury Swipes!"
"Eipaaa!" Apiom's paws began to glow yellow and he slashed Hoothoot continuously, making him faint quickly.
"Return." Flakner withdrew Hoohoot. He saved the Poké Ball and took out a new one. "Pidgeotto, help me in this flight!"
"Pijo!" Pidgeotto chirped when coming out of the Poké Ball, flying out into the open sky through the inexistent roof. He then returned down, looking majestic. Gold used his Pokédex again.
"Pidgeottto, the Bird Pokémon and the evolved form of Pidgey. It flies over its wide territory in search of prey, downing it with its highly developed claws. It has outstanding vision. However high it flies, it is able to distinguish the movements of its prey. Very protective of its sprawling territorial area, this Pokémon will fiercely peck at any intruder."
"Don't back off now, Aipom! Focus Punch!"
"Air Slash!"
"Pijo!"
Before Aipom could react, Pidgeo raised his wings above his head and a spiraling light blue orb of energy formed in between them. He then threw the ball at Aipom. As he shot towards the opponent, the ball became surrounded by a light blue aura. Aipom got hit and Cyndaquil fainted quickly, astonishing Gold.
"Return, Aniki." Gold withdrew his fallen friend. "That Pidgeotto is very strong…" he noticed, bitting the nail of his thumb. "But I'm not going to lose on my very first Gym Battle! Not a chance! Cyndaquil, go!"
"Cynda!" Cyndaquil popped out of his Poké Ball, his fire igniting from the back.
"That Cyndaquil seems awfully strong. But I do appreciate a challenge. Pidgeotto, Twister!"
"Pijo!" Pidgeotto flew up and started flapping his wings, releasing a clear tornado of wind at Cyndaquil.
"Burn it with Flamethrower, aniki!"
Cyndaquil released a stream of red-orange fire from his mouth, but to no avail. The winds quickly extinguished the flames and threw Cyndaquil up into the air.
"Quick Attack!"
Pidgeotto became outlined in white and flew towards Cyndaquil, pecking him over and over again swiftly, maintaining him in the air.
"Aniki, no!"
"Pidgeotto has him trapped. What do you say about that?" Falkner spoke in a cocky tone of voice.
"Smokescreen." Falkner looked surprised. Cyndaquil began to expel aa dark smoke from his mouth, surrounding the area and making Pidgeotto blind for brief moments. "Hold onto him!"
"Cynda!" Pidgeotto flew out of the cloud, but what he didn't realize was that Cyndaquil was holding onto his back.
"Pijo?"
"Pidgeotto, Brave Bird to the ground!"
"Cyndaquil, Flame Wheel!"
Pidgeotto became surrounded in flames and dove towards the ground. Cyndaquil jumped off his back and began spinning like a wheel. The flame on his back began to increase and surrounded him in a wheel-like fashion. Pidgeotto's flames were replaced by a blue fiery stayed a bit "glued" to Pidgeotto, both moving to the ground at a high speed. They both hit the ground and created a large cloud of black smoke, which surrounded most of the field. Oments of anxiety filled in between Gold and Falkner, until it finally happened: Cyndaquil jumped out of the cloud of smoke and squeaked, releasing his flame out. The smoke cleared and showed Pidgeot unable to even stand up.
"But, how-?!"
"Easy. Cyndaquil used Flamethrower to stop the fall at the final moment. This made him fine while your kamikaze mission went down the drain." Gold explained, cyndaquil jumping onto his right shoulder.
"For pity's sake! My dad's cherished bird Pokémon... But a defeat is a defeat." Falkner admitted eyes closed, withdrawing his beloved ace. "All right. Take this official Pokémon League Badge. This one is the Zephyr Badge."
Falkner walked towards Gold and handed him his very first Badge. Gold smiled, gazing at the little symbol.
"There are Pokémon Gyms in cities and towns ahead. Make good use of them! As for your next move... I would suggest Azalea Town."
"Thank you, Falkner." Gold appreciated his advice and they fist bumped, just like normal strangers do: awkwardly hitting each other in the chest.
Gold went along the City and healed Cyndaquil and Aipom in the Poké Center and decided to let them walk along with him, as brothers and all. They quickly hopped into the Poké Mart to see if there was something to buy before they went to Azalea Town. But they were surprised to see a scientist talk to them.
"Excuse me, you're Gold, aren't you?"
"Whyyyyyyyy~~ yes I am." Gold answered, in attempt to make a joke.
"I'm one of Professor Elm's assistants. I came here on his and your mother behalves in order to bring you this." He explained, handing him a large and a small boxes. Gold opened the small one first, showing a Poké Gear. He seemed quite astonished to see one. It had a note saying: "With love, mom."
He saved it in his pocket (wow, those are some large pockets) and opened the larger box, showing a capsule. It had an Egg in it with multiple blue and red triangles. Gold and the other two stared at it curious. Gold opened the lid of it and stared at it closely. Suddenly, it began to shake.
"Woah…" gold took the egg into his hands and saw it shake more violently until it started to glow. The three of them were surprised, backing off, until the glow faded and a new friend appeared.
"Toge-toge-togeee-pi!" the little new Pokémon hopped in happiness.
"Wow! A Togepi!" Gold spoke, amazed by his new companion, and the first female.
"Cynda!"
"Ei!" Aipom and Cyndaquil greeted their new teammate when Gold put her on the ground.
"Toge!" Togepi greeted back.
Suddenly, Gold's Poké Gear began to ring. He flipped it open and answered back.
"Hello?"
"Gold! This is Professor Elm. Have you received the Egg as well?"
"Yup. A healthy Togepi."
"It was a Togepi Egg?! It didn't show any signs of hatching…"
"Weird… I touched it and it began to hatch." Gold admitted.
"Either way, it doesn't matter. You should explore the Alpha Ruins. There, you should be able to know a bit more about Pokémons."
"I see. Thanks doc! See ya later." Gold said, closing the phone before Professor Elm could reply. He then dashed out to the nearby Ruins of Alpha. Just to make destiny tie one of its famous knots.
Pokémon of the Day:
Hoothoot - Hoothoot are largely nocturnal, giving them exceptional eyesight and ability to see in the dark. They are capable of learning many Psychic-type attacks. They also possess the innate ability to tell exactly what time it is, and can even function as an alarm clock.
