"Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal: The Shining Adventure"
Chapter 9 – Battle in the Stage and the Grand Tower:
Liking the fanfiction so far? Thanks ^^ if you answered yes, I mean.
Gold and Crystal went to Ecruteak City's Poké Center in order to heal Gold's Pokémons. He introduced Sudowoodo to Quilava and the others. Sudowoodo was a bit clumsy, but had a good mood in general, and seemed to be a little goofy. Everybody liked him, Crystal not being an exception, of course.
Gold and Crystal went to the Gym, in order for Gold to challenge the Gym Leader, but unfortunately, it was closed. Apparently, the Gym ~Leader was away for the meantime.
"Now what?" Gold asked, putting his hands behind his head and kicking a rock, angry that the Gym Leader wasn't in the Gym.
"We could just wait for the Gym Leader to return. Over there's a Japanese Dance Theater. We could go see a play."
Crystal's suggestion was good, but Gold always preferred movies over plays. But then he remembered that plays are where cute actresses began their career!
"To the Theater!" Gold commanded, dashing towards theater, dragging Crystal along. She didn't understand why Gold seemed so eager. He looked like someone who just got the present he wanted for Christmas, but that is another story.
But their train of thought was completely altered when they entered it, because they saw the public in disbelief. A Kimono Girl was glaring at the goofy Team Rocket Grunt, on stage. Gold noticed some similarities, but it was sure to say that she wasn't the same Kimono Girl he helped out in the Illex Forest.
"Please, stop!" the Kimono Girl requested.
"Oh, c'mon! Make a hula dance, will ya? Much better than that stupid dance."
"Alright, hands up!" Gold spoke, approaching the stage. Everybody looked at him, including Crystal, the Kimono Girl, and the Team Rocket Grunt.
"Uh? Piss off, kid!"
"You wish." Gold threw a Poké Ball against the Grunt's forehead, making him fall over. The Poké Ball opened, letting out Sudowoodo to the stage.
"What-the heck do you think you're doing, brat?"
"Starting a battle, of course."
"Sudo-woodo!"
"Oh yeah? Qwilfish!"
The Grunt threw his Poké Ball. It opened, letting out his option fior the battle.
"Qwil!" the bouncing Pokémon spoke as Gold analyzed him.
"Qwilfish, the Balloon Pokémon. It shoots the poison spines on its body in all directions. Its round form makes it a poor swimmer. The small spikes covering its body developed from scales. They inject a toxin that causes fainting. To fire its poison spikes, it must inflate its body by drinking over 2.6 gallons of water all at once."
"Alright then. Sudowoodo, Rock Throw!"
"Sudo!" Sudowoodo became outlined in white and then released a single thick beam of energy from his body. The beam then assumed the shape of a rock boulder of the double of the size of Qwilfish.
"Hydro Pump!"
"Qwil-fish!" Quilfish took in a deep breath, making his body swell up. Then, he released a jet of water, making his body return to normal. The jet of water broke the boulder into pieces. The jet continued travelling towards Sudowoodo, showing no sign of stopping its course.
"Sudo…" Sudowoodo showed to be scared, putting his hands underneath his mouth, which now seemed somewhat wavy.
"Don't worry. Mimic!"
"Sudo!" Sudowoodo's head branches began to glow gold. "Wooooodo!" Sudowoodo pulled back his head and released a jet of water from his mouth at the upcoming attack, the collision stopping both attacks.
"Qwilfish, Poison Jab!" Qwilfish bounced up and down, his spikes becoming outlined in purple and glow in violet. He then jumped forward, trying to slam his body against Sudowoodo like a fast jab.
"Wood Hammer!" Sudowoodo's green orbs began to glow brightly, and he struck Qwilfish , sending him away. "Finish him off with Rock Tomb!"
"Su-do-woodo!" the braches on Sudowoodo's head began to glow white and he pulled back his head, releasing a white orb of energy which expanded and turned into a gray stone boulder. The boulder hit Qwilfish, breaking into multiple rocks surrounding his body, making him unable to move, but that wasn't necessary. Qwilfish couldn't move anymore. He had passed out.
"Grrr… Qwuilfish, return!" The Grunt withdrew his Pokémon. "I have to go anyway. I have a mission to complete. If they find out I was slacking off, I'll be in trouble. Big time." The grunt spoke, turning his back on Gold and running out of the Teather.
"Thank you, Gold."
"You're welco- How do you know my name?!" Gold asked, surprised by seeing that the Kimono Girl knew him. Crystal joined in as well.
"I heard about you from Naoko, the one you helped in the Illex Forest."
"Her name is Naoko?" Gold then sweatdropped. "I forgot to ask her name…"
"She wouldn't reveal it, anyway. But since you helped me, I guess you have the right to know our names. I'm Miki, pleasure to meet you." She explained, bowing. Gold and Crystal replied in the same manner, Crystal introducing herself as well. "By the way, how's Togepi?"
"She's ok. You heard about her from Naoko as well?"
"Yes and no. Yes because she told us about it, but we already knew about your Togepi."
"How?" Crystal asked, puzzled.
"It was one of us, Zuki, who gave the Egg to the Pokémon Professor."
"Wow…" Gold couldn't say anything else. After all, it was quite an amount of information he was receiving. Apparently he had much more connections throughout Johto than he expected.
"Do you by any chance know where the Gym Leader of Ecruteak City's Gym Leader is?"
"Oh, he went over to the Burned Tower." The Kimono Girl indicated.
Gold and Crystal left the Theater and searched for the mentioned tower. They walked around, and finally managed to find the Burned Tower. At least, that's what its appearance suggested. That and, well, the sign. They entered the Tower which seemed destroyed. They could see two teenagers, who looked to be about 17 each.
The first one had a purple suit, a blank cape, a red bow tie, and white shoes and gloves. He possessed crystal blue eyes and dark blond hair, pulled back with what seemed to be hair gel.
The second one, however, had darker clothes. He possessed blonde hair and purple eyes, wearing white trousers, a dark sweater, a purple and red scarf with a little pale yellow weird pin, making the scarf stay in place. He wore purple sneakers as well and a purple bandana, slightly holding his simple hair with only a couple of curls.
"Oh, Eusine, we appear to have visitors." The teenager with the dark clothes noticed.
"Indeed." The teenager whose name appeared to be Eusine agreed. They both approached Gold and Crystal, in order to do a proper introduction. "Good morning, dear visitors." Eusine greeted, bowing.
"Good morning." Gold and crystal replied in unison, not able to think about anything else to use as a reply.
"My name is Eusine, the one who searches for the North Wind."
"I am Morty, the Gym Leader of this City, and Eusine's friend."
"My name is Gold, and this is Crystal. I'm here to challenge the Gym Leader officially!" Gold spoke, getting pumped up, making Crystal sweatdrop in embarrassment.
"My apologies, but it is impossible right now."
"Why is that?" Crystal wondered.
"You see, my dear beauty, According to the rumors, the three Legendary Beasts are present in this Tower in this precise moment." Eusine explained, leaving Gold and Crystal a bit puzzled.
"The three Legendary Beasts?" Throughout their lives in Johto, those words were familiar, yet, they always remained a mystery.
"Johto possesses three Legendary Pokémons. One of them is the one that catches my attention and focus." Eusine explained.
"These three Pokémons are known as Raikou, Entei and Suicune. Eusine is known to be obsessed with Suicune." Morty chuckled, making Gold laugh and Crystal giggle, mainly when they saw Eusine blushing in embarrassment.
"Either way, details aside…" Boy, Eusine really didn't want to feel ridiculed. "It is true I am utterly obsessed with Suicune, the embodiment of the North Wind. Morty and I are investigating the Tower in order to understand why they came here in the first place."
"Why not go to where they are? I mean, they are here, aren't they?"
"They aren't exactly fans of humans. And their impressive speed and stamina would let them run all around Johto and Kanto in a single afternoon." Eusine explained. "Yet, you two could do us a favor."
"Which is…?" Crystal asked, folding her arms, not entirely sure if Eusine's look was trustful.
"Eusine and I installed a device outside the Burned Tower, which we'll use to locate and track the Legendary Beasts. In order to do that, they have to leave the tower, since it consists of a field of waves that will bland into their fur and make us able to track them down. The problem is that we need to operate it while they attempt an escape, and it needs two operators: one to activate the program and the other to download it to our Poké Gears."
"Would you be kind enough and scare the beasts away? In a way of saying, of course. After all, only approaching them will make them run away and roam all around Johto."
Gold and Crystal agreed on helping Eusine and Morty. The two teenagers left the old building, so they could activate the device. Gold and Crystal, meanwhile, continued further down towards the basement, where Eusine said where the Beasts resided.
The climbed down the stairs, but then gold spotted someone he didn't expect to find.
"Silver?!" he asked, making the redhead and silver eyed boy turn to him.
"Seriously, why do you keep following me, brat?" Silver asked, not showing a lot of emotion. Well, if coldness is considered one, than he was showing quite a lot of it.
"Hey, I have a name! My name is Gold!" Silver simply ignored. After all, he was well aware of Gold's name, he just preferred not to use it.
"Will you shut up for once?" Silver asked, angering Gold.
But the one who was really pissed off was Crystal.
"STOP IT, WILL YOU!" she shouted, making gold and Silver fall over in fear. "You sound like two kids fighting over the sand box!"
Silver would reply, but his widened eyes that showed surprise and a hint of fear made him somehow unable to speak. Gold was in a similar situation.
"Why don't you two simply settle this in a battle? If you two are bothered so easily, it's quite an easy solution." Crystal appeared collected once again, arms folded and eyes shut, but still showed a hint of anger.
Gold and Silver looked at each other puzzled. Then, they remembered what they were doing and quickly stood up. They each glared at one another and were ready to battle.
"Magby! Ursaring!"
Magby and Ursaring came out of the Poké Balls Silver sent in. It appeared that Magby still remembered Gold, and that the Teddiursa he had caught in the Illex Forest had evolved.
"Mag!"
"URSA!"
Crystal pointed her Pokédex at the furious-looking beast and analyzed it, curious about him.
"Ursaring, the Hibernator Pokémon, and the evolved form of Teddiursa. In its territory, it leaves scratches on trees that bear delicious berries or fruits. With its ability to distinguish any aroma, it unfailingly finds all food buried deep underground. Although it has a large body, it is quite skilled at climbing trees. It eats and sleeps in the treetops. Although it is a good climber, it prefers to snap trees with its forelegs and eat fallen Berries."
"Elekid, let's get on with it!" Gold threw the Poké Ball, letting out his yellow little friend. Both Silver and Crystal looked confused as to why he only sent one Pokémon. While Elekid and Magby rivalry's spark appeared, he moved towards Crystal with a silly grin.
"What do you want?"
"Could you help me out? I would like you to use Smoochum."
"Why?"
"Strategy."
Crystal sighed and agreed. "Fine." She took out the Poké Ball used to contain Smoochum and opened it, letting out her little Pokémon.
"Smooch!" Smoochum made a kissing sound and then became frightened by seeing all the glaring in the battlefield. "Chum…"
"Let's start! Elekid, Low Kick on Ursaring!"
"Ere!" Elekid dashed towards the monstrous Pokémon and swiftly swung his leg against Ursaring's legs, but to no avail. Elekid sweatdropped and looked up, seeing a frightening glare.
"Ursaring, Slash."
"URSA!" Ursaring raised his left arm and his claws glowed white, extending slightly.
"Smoochum, Ice Beam!"
Smoochum released multiple light blue beams from her mouth at Ursaring's shoulder, freezing the joint. Ursaring, wondering what had happened, looked towards his shoulder, puzzled. Elekid took the opportunity to run away.
"Magby, Flamethrower!"
"Elekid, Thunderbolt!"
Magby released a stream of red fire from his mouth at Elekid, while Elekid released a yellow bolt of electricity from his body at his opponent. The attacks collided, exploding.
"Flamethrower!"
"Thunderbolt!"
"Ice Beam!"
Elekid released a bolt of yellow electricity, Magby fired a stream of red flames, and Smoochum released blue lightning-like beams from her mouth. The three beams collided, but to no avail again.
Elekid, Magby and Smoochum had solid glares, they even impressed Ursaring. Suddenly, their bodies began to glow light blue and their bodies changed dramatically.
"Erekaru!"
"Magmar…!"
"Jynx…!"
Each Trainer used their Pokédexes, in order to know their new capabilities.
"Electabuzz, the Electric Pokémon, and the evolved form of Elekid. Research is progressing on storing lightning in Electabuzz so this energy can be used at any time. It windmills its arms to slightly boost its punches. Foes have been known to escape in the meantime. Electricity runs across the surface of its body. In darkness, its body glows a whitish blue. Its body constantly discharges electricity. Getting close to it will make your hair stand on end."
"Magmar, the Spitfire Pokémon, and the evolved form of Magby. The scorching fire exhaled by Magmar forms heat waves around its body, making it hard to see the Pokémon clearly. When it breathes deeply, heat waves form around its body, making it hard to see clearly. The fiery surface of its body gives off a wavering, rippling glare that is similar to the sun. It dislikes cold places, so it blows scorching flames to make the environment suitable for itself."
"Jynx, the Human Shape Pokémon, and the evolved form of Smoochum. Its cries sound like human speech. However, it is impossible to tell what it is trying to say. It rocks its body rhythmically. It appears to alter the rhythm depending on how it is feeling."
Gold and Crystal were happy to see their Pokémons evolved. Even silver showed a very little grin when seeing Magmar in front of him. Magmar released a little stream of embers, melting the ice trapping Ursaring's arm.
They decided to call it a draw and leave it at that, but then something they didn't expect happened.
Gold heard a sound. "Did you hear that?" he asked, turning around to the origin of the sound, Electabuzz glancing at the same direction. Crystal, Silver, Jynx, Magmar and Ursaring glanced at the same direction and everyone became wide eyed.
Three shapes were noticeable in the distance. The one on the left seemed to slightly glow yellow, the red eyes glaring at Gold. The one at the center showed a brown glow with some hints of red, its red eyes of the same color fixated on Silver. The one at the right showed a blue glow, and its red eyes stared down at Crystal.
The three Beasts roared.
"RAIKOU!"
"ENTEI!"
"SUICUNE!"
Pokémons of the Day:
Qwilfish - All around its body are sharp, conical spikes, which evolved from scales over time. In order to attack, Qwilfish drinks 2.6 gallons of water to inflate its body. It then uses the water pressure to shoot poisonous quills at its foe. Due to its round body, Qwilfish is not a great swimmer, and when filled with water it is even harder for it to swim.
Ursaring - Ursaring lives in mountainous forests, sleeping in treetops and gathering food throughout the day. While it is skilled at climbing trees, it gathers food by snapping them and collecting whatever berries or fruits fall down. It will mark trees bearing delicious fruit in its territory with its claws. Ursaring's sense of smell can distinguish any aroma, and as such it can find food buried deep underground or in streams.
Jesus Crist! The three beasts! But why are they staring at the three teens? Well, I do know why, but I won't spoil it. Well, see you next time. Oh, and please, don't forget to write a review if you don't mind, and also…
Bye, remember, BEAST OUT!
