"Jack, look at this." Said Joey, picking up a coin. Jack and Pikachu got Joey's attention. "It's a 'Hí Medal'."
"Hí Medal?" Ask Jack. He looks at the door to the left, and said, "For that door?"
"Not really." Joey replied. "It needs a 'Tsuchi Medal'."
"Okay." Said Jack, "So, where do we find, Tsuchi Medal?"
"Let's try that door to the right." Said Joey, pointing at the door to the right. "That door likes all burned up, and ready to go."
"Right, and if we get the Tsuchi Medal, we can get to the next room." Said Jack.
Joey puts the red medal in the middle of the door, and the door becomes unlocked. "This feels like the Godai Tower."
"Except in the Festival Tower." Said Pikachu.
Jack opens the door, and everyone goes into the next room. They come to a room where a platform is going up and down like some kind of elevator. Except, there is another platform ledge up on the next room.
"Can you make it?" Ask Joey.
Jack waits, and Pikachu gets on Jack's right shoulder. "Here goes." The platform comes down, and Jack jumps straight on to the platform. "Hu!" Jack lands on the platform with his Pikachu on his shoulder, and look up. "I hope we get the Tsuchi Medal." The platform raise up to the next level, and Jack jumps to the other side where they found a treasure chest.
"See anything, Jack?" Joey calls.
"Yes. This one." Said Jack, opening the chest. Jack found a brown medal. "Yes, this it! The 'Tsuchi Medal'!"
"Okay, come on down!" Joey called. "You can make it!"
Jack and Pikachu look down, and saw Joey down below. Jack swallowed his saliva, for being too high up. "Okay…here goes." Jack pulls back with his Pikachu on his shoulder. "Hold on." Jack gets a running start, and jumps high over the big gap. "Hu!"
Jack and Pikachu come down, and landed right next to Joey. Crash! "Very good, Jack." Said Joey, "Did you get the Tsuchi Medal?" Jack still feels a bit in pain for landing, so he pulls out the brown medal and shows the medal to his cousin. "You okay?"
Jack replies, in pain of his feet, "Yeah. Peachy." Joey pulls Jack up, and both Jack and Pikachu shook it off. "Thanks."
They go through the open door, and come back to the room where the bridge was in the middle of the room. Jack goes to the other door on the other side, and places the brown door on the door. Joey however, takes the red medal out of the door. The door, where Jack and Pikachu are, becomes opened. Jack opens the door, and everyone goes into the next room.
There, they found a room where there is water everywhere, a platform in the middle of the room, and a big waterfall on the side. It seems wolves are all over the room, yet waiting for our heroes to get on the first platform.
"You ready, cousin?" Ask Joey.
Jack pulls out two Poké balls, and said, "Ready."
"I'm ready too." Said Pikachu. Jack and Pikachu jump on the platform, and spotted wolves coming down from the other side. Three wolves come in to fight; Jack throws two Poké balls in the air, and summon a frog like Pokémon with red eyes, a flower on its back, and green skin; and the other Pokémon is a small red fire puppy. "Here we go!"
Pikachu charges up electricity, feeling his red cheeks with static, and then zap the first wolf. The first wolf becomes electrocuted, and falls in the water, defeated.
Jack charges at the second wolf, and attacks with his sword, "Fra! Ho! Agh! YA!" Slash! Slash! Slash! The second wolf howls in defeat, and goes down. Growlithe inhale its breath, and then blows out Ember at the last wolf. The last wolf is burned by fire, and falls in the water, defeated. There are no more wolves left, Jack and his Pokémon won the battle.
Jack found one thousand and five hundred Gils on the ground, and put the money in his wallet. Joey started to sniff, and then growls. Jack and Pikachu turned around, and see Joey started to act like a real animal. "Agh!" Jack shouted, jumping to his cousin, "Cousin! Stop it! Haven't you caused enough trouble already?"
"I can't help it!" Joey growled, "He's here."
Jack slaps Joey in the head, and Joey looks at Jack, "Listen to me, Cousin. We're not here to have you blow up the Festival Tower; we are here to get the next badge. So either calm down, or Raye will know you went berserk."
Joey stops growling, and looks down, "Sorry."
Jack puts his hand on his cousin's left shoulder, "Hey, it's okay. Accidents happen, right?" He asks to Pikachu.
"Right." Pikachu replied.
"And we've come this far to get the badge, right?"
"Right."
"So now, there's no reason to go demon or go crazy."
"No reason to go demon?" Ask Joey. Jack nods. "Okay. Lead the way."
Jack remembers something, and pulls something out, "Oh yeah, here, cousin."
"What is it?" Ask Joey.
Pikachu replies, "It's a Demonic Seal, I think."
"Yeah." Said Jack, "Nyu said he wants you to have it, but in exchange for you hair."
"You're kidding me." Said Joey, disturbed, "Is this from Jena's thingy?"
And Jack replies, "I'm afraid so."
"Alright." Said Joey, taking the seal and putting the seal on. "This should do it." Joey takes one piece of his hair, and gives one string silver hair to Jack, "Tell Jena 'Thanks'." Jack takes the hair, and puts the hair in a capsule tube. "Shall we?"
"Lets." Said Jack. Jack jumps back on the platform, and jumps to the other side with his Pikachu. Joey flies up, and waits. Jack and Pikachu climb up the small ladder, and looks at Joey back at the first side.
"Can you make it here?"
"I'm afraid not." Jack replied. "Is there anything from the door?"
Joey flies up on the next floor, and looks at the door. He calls, "Yeah. It needs a 'Mizu Medal'."
"A Water Medal?" Ask Jack. He looks behind at the door, and said, "Let's try this door, and see what we can find." Joey flies over to his cousin, and waits.
Jack opens the door; everyone enters through the door and into the next room. But by surprise, the door closes behind Jack, Pikachu, and Joey.
"Sheesh." Said Joey, "This Matsuri Tower is driving me nuts!"
"At least we're almost down." Said Jack. "So, what was that smell you sensed?"
Joey looks at Jack, and explains, "Well, you see Jack, there was my rival, remember?"
"Oh yeah, Henry, right?" Ask Pikachu.
Joey nods. "He's here. And he's close, too."
And then a voice shouts, "And he's right here too, mutt face!"
Jack, Pikachu, and Joey become surprised. The figure with black short ponytail hair, black wolf suit, a wolf's face, fangs, and black eyes appeared with a wolf like Pokémon with black fur, and growls. "Henry Fang!"
"Surprise, mutt face?" Ask Henry, "I couldn't let you get this far since we hadn't had our last match."
"Henry!" Joey shouted.
"No, wait cousin!" Jack called, pulling Joey back. "Look what's behind Henry." Henry turns around, and sees a blue coin.
"I see." Said Henry, "If you attack me, you lose that medal." Henry looks at Joey, "What's the matter, mutt face, aren't you going to attack me with your Fang-over-fang?"
"Henry!" Joey shouted. "Do you want to die?"
"We'll take him, cousin." Said Jack, throwing two Poké balls in the air, "Summoning!" The Pokémon has a big frog body, green skin, red eyes, and a flower on its back. And the other Pokémon is a small red fire puppy. "Do you want a fight, Henry?"
"Hmph. You?" Ask Henry, and he taunts, "What's the matter, scared?"
"I'm not scared." Jack replied, prepared, "But I'm ain't afraid of you, you bloody Wolfy." He pats his butt in front of Henry, "Right here!"
"!" Henry is provoked, "Okay, that does it. I'm ganna have to kill you, then eat you!" Henry throws three Pokémon out. One Pokémon is a black wolf, another is a blue turtle, and the last is a red humanoid like Pokémon with a hand shape like a cannon.
Jack and his Pokémon are intimidated from the black wolf Pokémon in battle. "Yikes!"
He commands, "Magmortar, get that brat with Fire Punch!"
Magmortar moves in on Jack, and attacks with a powerful fist of flames. Jack is hit hard, but toughens the heat.
Henry gets into a stance, and dashes at Jack, Pikachu, Ivysaur, and Growlithe. "You, slowpoke!" Henry's dash hits Jack and his Pokémon, but all four remain strong.
"My turn." Said Pikachu, prepared. Pikachu charges up electricity, feeling his red cheeks with static, and then blast a Thunderbolt attack on the small blue turtle. "CHUUU!!"
"Wartortle!" The Pokémon squealed, in pain. However, Wartortle toughens the static.
"Enough games." Said Henry, "Mightyena, show them your real power." Mightyena comes in on Pikachu, and bites Pikachu hard. Chomp!
"CHAAA!" Pikachu shouted, attacked. Pikachu is now on the floor, in peril.
"Pikachu! No!" Jack shouted, shocked. But when Pikachu looks at Mightyena, therefore, Pikachu becomes frighten, and stays down.
"Jack, be careful." Joey called, "Henry's Mightyena is very, but Magmortar is strong."
Inhale its breath, and blast a Water Gun at Growlithe. Growlithe takes massive hit, and howls down. Jack becomes even more shock. "Growlithe!"
"I think that Wartortle is intense for your Growlithe, Jack." Said Joey.
"No, I refuse to lose the battle." Said Jack, pulling out a card. He calls, "Hi-Potion." A bottle of blue potion appeared on Jack's right hand, and gives the potion to Pikachu. Pikachu becomes fully healed, and shows two fingers at Jack.
"Thank you." Said Pikachu.
"A Hi-Potion?" Ask Joey, confused. "Since when did your items become cards?"
"Payback!" Jack called. "Ivysaur, attack Wartortle with Razor Leaf!"
"Ivy!" Said Ivysaur, releasing a swarm of leaves, "Ivysaur!" Razor sharp leaves fly in midair, and storms at Wartortle. Wartortle takes small damage, and remains strong.
"Uh-oh." Said Jack, surprised. "This is not good."
"You can't beat down my Pokémon." Said Henry, taunting Jack, "Can't fight, you half-breed?"
Magmortar goes up to Jack, points at a different direction to make Jack look. Then, Magmortar attacks Jack by a surprise. However, it wasn't strong enough. Magmortar comes back.
Henry dashes at Jack, and strikes. "Ya!"
"Agh!" Jack shouted, attacked. Henry becomes back to his spot.
Pikachu charges up electricity, feeling his cheeks with static, and then blast another Thunderbolt at Wartortle. "CHU!!!" Wartortle takes massive damage, but almost down. Wartortle spins around, and tackles Pikachu with rapid spin. However, Pikachu remains strong, and this time, Wartortle becomes paralyzed.
Next, Mightyena howls. Mightyena's strength grows strong, yet still burned from the heat.
Jack charges at Henry with his sword, and attacks, "Fra! Agh! Fra! YA!" Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Henry takes a big hit, but stays strong.
Ivysaur's big flower spits out Leech Seed, and send the seeds at Magmortar. Magmortar becomes seeded. Magmortar walks up to Ivysaur, and Fire Punches Ivysaur hard. "Ivy!" Ivysaur shouted, attacked. Ivysaur takes massive damage, and goes down. "SAUR!"
"Ivysaur!" Jack shouted, shocked.
Henry laughs, "What's the matter, kid? All you got left is your Pikachu, and you can't fight back."
"Jack, you need to let me step in." Joey called, "Henry's Pokémon are way to strong than your Pokémon."
Mightyena charges at Pikachu, and bites Pikachu hard. Chomp! "CHA!" Pikachu shouted, attacked. Pikachu wails loudly, "Pika! Pika!" And then, Pikachu goes down.
"PIKACHU!" Jack shouted, shocked.
Henry laughs more, "What do you know, I win."
"Henry!" Joey shouted.
"Oh, what are you ganna do now, you half-breed?"
Jack is out of Pokémon to battle. Jack blacks out. "This…can't…be. I…lost." And then, Jack faints.
Joey becomes surprised, "Jack!"
With Jack fainted on the ground, he is helpless to fight. Joey doesn't want to see another friend, or family member fall in defeat. Instead, Joey scared Henry away from the battle, and took Jack and his Pokémon back to the Village of the Flames as shelter from the tower. There, Joey puts Jack to bed, and Jack's Pokémon at the Pokémon Center for safety.
And so, Jack wakes up, and opened his eyes slowly.
"Are you okay, Jack?" Ask Joey, putting his hand on Jack's head.
"What?" Ask Jack, "What happened?"
"Henry." Joey replied. He looks at the windows, "For now, Jack, you're at my house, in my room."
"Huh?" Ask Jack, and he gets up, "But my Pokémon…"
"They're at the Pokémon Center." Joey replied, crossing his arms. "It's far to dangerous for a Genin like yourself to go at the Festival Tower."
"And what about?"
"Henry? I scared him away. When you fight against Henry and his Pokémon, they're very intense to fight. I can take him down in about five seconds, but he's not going to leave the festival tower."
"Oh, but did you get the Mizu Medal before he can?"
"Nah. After I went demon on Henry, he snagged the medal and then escaped."
"Drat. We can't go any further until we get that Water Medal from him." Jack gets out of bed, and said, "We need to go after Henry, and find out what's in that tower."
"Hold on, Jack." Said Joey, stopping Jack, "You and your Pokémon need to rest." Jack looks at his cousin, "If you try and attack Henry again, you will lose again."
Jack clutches his fist, "Then what am I suppose to do?"
"To tell you the truth, Jack; Henry, the wolf demon, is the toughest. They attack like a wolf's pack. He used Wartortle against your Growlithe, and Magmortar against your Ivysaur. And Mightyena, that Pokémon can lower your Pokémon's strength."
"That's bad." Said Jack.
"No, that's worse." Said Joey. "You'll need a way to beat down Henry, or I will have to step in."
"Maybe, just maybe, I need some training." Said Jack.
"There you go." Said Joey. "Why don't you go to the Pokémon Center and get your Pokémon?"
And Jack asks, "What about you?"
"Me? I'll be right near the tower." Joey replied. "If you're ready to fight against Henry again, let me know. First train to get your Pokémon strong, and then go fight against Henry."
"Right." Jack checks his wallet, "Just need to…" But, Jack becomes surprised, "Hey! What happened to my money?"
Jack scratches the back of his hair, embarrassed, "Whoops. Sorry. When I teleported you and your Pokémon out of the tower, I must have dropped of your money behind."
"Cousin!" Jack shouted, and he sighs, "Great. I guess I'm going to train my Pokémon until I become strong like you."
"Hey, it takes time." Said Joey. "One more thing, don't go to the tower without me, okay? I don't want to leave you over at the tower all by yourself."
"Right." Said Jack, and Joey teleports away. Jack gets out of the room, out of the house, and head to the Pokémon Center.
Jack arrives at the Pokémon, and comes in front of the counter. The woman with red hair, and white dress comes to the counter, and places a tray with five Poké balls and a yellow mouse on the counter. "Thank you for waiting." She said.
"Thank you." Said Jack, taking the Poké balls, and his Pokémon.
The yellow mouse jumps on Jack's right shoulder, and talks to his owner. "Jack, Henry is tough."
"I remember." Said Jack, aware, "Henry Fang is not going to be easy." He looks at his Pokémon, "Pikachu, we were close until that Wartortle and Magmortar took Ivysaur and Growlithe out."
"And worst, Mightyena." Said Pikachu, annoyed. "If only we know their weakness."
"I got some ideas down, but let's go train outside." Said Jack. "If we trainer harder, we can outmatch Henry at his own game."
"Sweet!" Said Pikachu. "Let's go!" Jack and Pikachu hurries out of the Pokémon Center, and heads outside for training. "So, what now?"
"All we have to do is take down some rouge ninjas and some wolves, and then we'll be ready to fight Henry right back." Said Jack, pulling out two Poké balls and his sword.
"Okay, good, because here they come!" Said Pikachu, pointing up ahead. Rouge ninjas are coming at Jack and his Pokémon. Jack throws two Poké balls in the air, and summon his Pokémon back.
"Come on out, Ivysaur and Growlithe!" Jack called. One Pokémon shape like a green frog with red eyes, and a flower on its back appeared; and the other Pokémon is a small red fire puppy. Four rouge ninjas appeared in battle. "I've always loved a good fight."
Two rouge ninjas come after Growlithe, and attack with kunai daggers. Growlithe takes small scratches, but remains strong. Then, two rouge ninjas attack Pikachu with kunai daggers. Pikachu takes small scratches, but remains strong.
Pikachu charges up electricity, feeling his cheeks with static, and then zap the first Rouge Ninja. "Pikachu!" The first rouge ninja takes heavy damage, and goes down.
Jack charges at the second rouge ninja, and attacks. "Fra! Agh! Ho! YA!" "Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! The second rouge ninja takes a lot of damage, and then goes down. "Alright, two down, two to go!"
Growlithe inhale its breath, and blows an Ember attack on the third rouge ninja. The third rouge ninja takes big damage, and goes down. And lastly, Ivysaur releases Vine Whip, and whips the last rouge ninja away. The last rouge ninja takes damage, and goes down.
There are no more rouge ninjas left, that means Jack and his Pokémon won the first training battle. Jack found two thousand Gils on the ground, and put the money in his wallet. Next, more rouge ninjas appeared, this time six rouge ninjas want to fight.
"Here they come again." Said Jack, aware.
Three rouge ninjas sneak behind Jack, and strikes from behind. Jack takes small damage, yet remains strong. Then, three rouge ninjas sneak behind Pikachu, and strikes. Pikachu takes small damage, but remains strong.
"These rouge ninjas can attack from behind?" Ask Jack, "Why didn't cousin tell us that sooner?"
"I have no idea." Pikachu replied, "But let's get 'em, Jack!" Pikachu charges at the first rouge ninja, and slam the first rouge ninja with a powerful lightning shape tail. Wham! The first rouge ninja goes down.
"We need help." Said Jack, pulling up a card. He calls, "Here goes. Fire!" He points his sword at the second rouge ninja, and blasts a small fireball. The second rouge ninja takes a hit, and goes down in defeat. "Sweet! I wonder why I didn't use this attack on Henry's Wartortle when I had the chance?"
"No idea." Pikachu replied. "But let's keep going."
Ivysaur releases green leaves from its flower, and send a swarm of sharp leaves at the third rouge ninja. The third rouge ninja takes heavy damage, and goes down. And lastly, Growlithe charges at the fourth rouge ninja, and bites. Chomp! The fourth rouge ninja goes down from a big bit attack. Two more rouge ninjas come out to fight, but waits.
"You guys aren't going to attack?" Ask Pikachu, "Cool." Pikachu charges at the fifth rouge ninja, and slams hard with its tail. "Chu! Pika!" Wham! The fifth rouge ninja takes hard damage, and goes down.
Jack charges at the last rouge ninja, and attacks. "Fra! Ho! Hu! Ya!" Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! The last rouge ninja takes massive damage, and goes down.
There are no more rouge ninjas left. Jack and his Pokémon won the second training battle. Ivysaur and Growlithe are becoming strong. Jack found some more money on the ground, and put the money in his wallet.
"Sweet." Said Jack, checking his wallet, "If we keep this up, we'll become even more stronger than Henry."
"Great." Said Pikachu, "Is there more we can take on?"
Jack pulled out two Poké balls, and return Ivysaur and Growlithe back into their Poké balls. "Yeah, but let's go back into town, and buy something helpful."
"Okay." Said Pikachu, getting on Jack's right shoulder.
Jack and Pikachu return back to the Village of the Flames in search for a shop. When they come to a symbol that said, 'mise', Jack and Pikachu go inside, and found some kind of item shop. The owner with a funny face, wearing an apron, blue long pants, and a blue shirt looks at Jack and Pikachu in a Japanese greeting, "Konnichi wá. Ogenki desu ka?"
"Genki desu." Jack replied, "Do you have items or cards to sell?"
"Hai." The owner replied, showing Jack a lot of cards.
"Maybe, I would like to sell all of my Potions." Said Jack.
"Sure." Said the owner, taking the potions exchange Jack two hundred and four Gils. Jack puts the money in his wallet. "Anything else for you, San?"
Jack looks through, and takes some cards. "I'll take theses, and some of this, and this one, and how about this one?" It seems Jack bought some bombs, Hi-Potions, and both X Attack and Defend.
"Okay, that will be," The owner tally up the total price, "Seven thousand, eight hundred and fifty Gils, please?"
Jack and Pikachu are surprised, and Jack spoke, "…Sold!" Jack pays up, and put the cards in his battle deck. "Okay, thank you."
"Arigatoo." Said the owner. Jack and Pikachu leave the shop, and back to training.
