RGBY - Vol. 1 - Saffron City Summary - A Legendary Dragon is searching for something...

1.3 - Salamence Strikes

Edited - 8/2/2018


Blue sucked all the soda through a straw, all she could hear were slurping noises within the plastic cup, walking past the Game Corner building showing off it's bright neon lights and purple hues as her family and friends followed.

Blue smiled. "Can't get that movie out of my head! It was sooo good!"

"Yeah. I'm surprised the production studio were able to afford a big name star like Brycen." Her father commented.

"Also…" Erika paused for a moment, her fingers placed on her chin. "I could've sworn one of the actors look like Sabrina."

"That was Sabrina." Blue chuckled a bit.

"Really?" Erika tried to maintain her astonishment. "The Team Rocket lieutenant and master psychic we fought years ago is now a movie star? I would've never guessed that future for her. Especially since Celadon City was under Team Rocket control years ago. It's surprisingly peaceful how many of the former Rocket-controlled areas have been in the past years. It's almost like it never happened."

"I know what you mean." Blue threw the cup into a nearby bin. "Even the ex-Rocket leaders, at least I hope their ex-Rocket, have seemed to given up more and more as Giovanni went missing. Koga is a member of the Elite Four and Surge is continuing on building new ships and gadgetry for his gym. Even when Giovanni did appeared around the time Deoxys showed up, those former lieutenants didn't showed up. Strange how much people can change so fast."

"Yeah… change…" Silver could still remember his father, Giovanni, all these years. Silver had no doubt he was planning Team Rocket's big return.

Green's parents looked a little glum at the thought. The idea of Deoxy's eyes as blank as a robot, the black hole years ago imprinted in their heads.

"Say… I wonder what Pryce is doing?" Erika spoke.

"Pryce?" Blue grew silent.

Her eyes went blank as the wind breezed past her long brown hair, past her new white hat, blue top and red skirt. Those masks bearing those smiles filled her head.

"Um… who's Pryce?" Blue's father interrupted the thought.

"Hmm?" Blue turned around, smiling. "Oh. He's just this nice Gym Leader in Johto who cares a lot about Pokemon."

"Yeah…" Silver looked at the ground. "You could say he's almost obsessed."

"Um..." Blue's father looked at the depressing atmosphere around Silver. "Did... did something happened?"

"Hey." A voice called out to them. "Did I miss something or what?"

The five of them pointed their heads to a familiar face, a spiky haired man walking with his hands deep in his brown pockets.

"Green?" Blue smiled. She giggled a bit. "It is you! It's been so long! You're looking big and strong…"

"Your still annoying as usual..." Green muttered.

"Annoying?" Greens' words echoed in Silver and Blue's father.

"How's your day Green?" Blue smiled at her long time friend.

"It was fine. Met Koga's ninja daughter, fought off a gang of bikers and now I got my own cheer leading squad waiting back at Viridian. The usual."

"The usual?" Blue was unsure what to make of that.

"How you've been Silver?" Green looked to red-haired kid, sporting his usual black jacket and dark blue jeans.

"Good. I still got your Rhypherior here. Do you need it?" Silver showed him the Pokeball.

Green could see Rhypherior staring at him through the red glass.

"Yeah. I'm going to need him later." Green answered, catching Rhypherior's Pokeball thrown from Silver.

Blue spoke "Anyways. Are you guy's hungry? I know a popular restaurant nearby!"

"Not rea…" Green's stomach growled. "Actually... Maybe one bite."

"I suppose we have time for a meal." Silver looked at the time on his Pokegear, a watch-like device.

"Of course we do! I'm starving anyway!" Blue smiled. She turned to her parents and Erika. "What about you guys?"


Blue's Father and Mother stood there watching, feeling a bit out of place wearing their usual business attire around all these sailors and big macho men. Erika smiled calmly at the contestants like it was no big deal. Blue's Mother slowly leaned away from a huge sailor showing off his biceps.

She turned to Blue. "Um… will just stand here honey. Since we don't have any Pokemon of course."

Blue sat down with her Blastoise, Silver sat down with his Feraligatr and Green with his Machamp along with the other contestants and their Pokemon. There were big bowls of rice set up with a set of chopsticks in front of their tables.

"You ready Blasty!" Blue smiled at the giant hulking turtle.

"Blast!" Blastoise smiled.

"I think we might be way over our heads." Silver looked at the huge bowl.

"Feral!" The blue bipedal alligator sporting a red crest licked his teeth, eyeing the bowl.

"Okay! This rice-eating contest starts… NOW!" The announcer yelled from the top of the bar counter.

The three trainers and their Pokemon swiped the chopsticks, eating through the big bowls of rice. Feraligatr lumped the entire rice together into his big jaws demanding the next one. Blastoise pigged his mouth into the bowl. Machamp used the chopsticks to eat the rice as fast possible.

"Done!" Green slammed the first bowl on the table. "Next!".

"Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!" The four-armed muscled Pokemon was already on his second bowl.


Time passed by. Silver and Blue leaned against the bar counter, their hands on their stomachs, too full to move. Their two water-type Pokemon slumped together next to them stuffed full of rice.

"Ferali..." Feraligatr picked his sharp teeth with a toothpick happily.

Blastoise let out a large belch. "BLAAAAAST!"

Blue could feel her hair being pushed away from Blastoise's belching.

"Seriously Blasty." Blue mumbled. "That... uh... forget it. I'm too full to speak."

Green and Machamp sat there eating their 8th bowl. They and one other contestant and her Pokemon were the only ones left.

"Is Green really that hungry?" Silver looked at the clock nearby.

It was getting dark.

"Nah… I think he's just pigging out now." Blue yawned.

"I herghed thaught!" Green angrily yelled with a mouth full of rice.

"Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!" Machamp finished his bowl.

"I could say the same for that girl too…" Blue looked to the other contestant.

The contestant next to Green had short pink hair and wore what appeared to be gym clothing. Next to her was a bluish canine Pokémon on two legs. The fighting-steel type was using chopsticks as well like Machamp did. They recognized that Pokemon to be a Lucario.

"More!" She slammed the bowl on the table.

"Lu!" The Lucario smiled.

"Ooo… okay…" The cook quickly gave her the next bowl. He looked at the time. "How long is this going to be?"

The four kept going, stuffing their mouths full of rice until two were left standing. Green fell to the floor, his eyes whited out, trying to stuff more rice in his mouthful of rice drooling to the ground as Machamp held the fallen loser in his arms.

"Noooo... mooore..." Green muttered.

"Ora." Machamp nodded.

The canine Pokemon happily raised his trainer's hand into the air as the champion!

"We have a winner!" The cook smiled, but his smile turned into worry. "Uh… are… are you okay?"

The canine Pokemon continued holding his trainer's hand in the air only to notice his trainer lingered in the air drooling and motionless.

She muttered "I… I think… I think I'm full for the first time in years…"

"Um… Okay? Well! Here's the prize! Through permission from my daughter all the way back from Alola!" The announcer smiled. "The grass Z- Crystal is the prize!"

"A Z-Crystal?" Green woke to his senses. "Aren't those supposed to be earned through a trial last I recall?"

"Normally but there have been many cases of them found naturally or offered as prizes, similar to Mega Stones in recent years. The trials in Alola now are used for entering the Pokemon League these days. As for this competition..." The green-haired man smiled proudly. "Only the strongest of trainers who have good bonds with their Pokemon can compete in this eating contest! So I believe it's alright to have this as a prize."

"Well…" The winner stood up from her motionless state. "I can't really accept that prize. I use mostly fighting-type Pokemon, not grass-types. You could give it to the second victor though!"

"Hmm?" Green got up from Machamp's arms on both legs, eyeing the green crystal. "Grass Z-Crystal huh?"

The announcer handed Green the grass Z-Crystal. Green held the green crystal between his fingers, staring through the green diamond seeing Blue's face through it. She looked like she had something to say.

"What do you say?" Blue crossed her arms.

"Right." Green turned to the young girl. "Thank you for the prize."

"I just did it for fun... and the food." The pink-haired girl smiled. "My name is Maylene! I'm the Sinnoh Gym Leader of the Fighting Gym!" She then pointed to her Pokemon next to her. "And my partner here is Lucario!"

"A Sinnoh Gym Leader?" Erika's curiosity peeked. "What is a Sinnoh Gym Leader doing here in Kanto?"

"Easy? Vacationing with my pops. Came here to experience the culture… and the cuisine of course." Maylene smiled.

"My, my. Your quite young for a Gym leader." Erika smiled. "Is your father here?"

"No… No he isn't… "Maylene sighed, glancing to the nearby Game Corner through a window, her hands clenched into fists. "Speaking of my father… I'm heading to where he is right now."

Green, Blue and Silver looked a little surprised, Maylene storming off with an annoyed look on her face, cracking her knuckles.

"Well… um..." Blue turned to Green. "Cool that you got a grass Z- Crystal!"

"Yeah. Lucky me." Green stared deep into the green gem in the palm of his hands.


"I'm stuffed!" Blue stretched her arms as she took a step out of the restaurant.

Erika, Silver and Blue's parents followed. Green followed behind slowly grabbing his stomach tightly as he felt like he was going to throw up any second.

Green glared at the smiling girl strolling happily across the stone pavements. "I shouldn't have let you taught me into that contest."

"Hee hee..." Blue walked into Celadon's nightly streets.

Couples, city folk walking alongside their Pokemon, venturers from elsewhere, families and friends strolled across the beautiful nightlife around the marble fountains of Magikarp and Gyarados's pouring out water from their mouths and the many tall lamps, passing by tiny gardens including the one at the restaurant.

Blue smiled as her friends and family follow, Green walking slowly behind grabbing his stomach tightly, shutting his mouth close as clear signs of irritation were drawn on his face. Blue's smile disappeared as she noticed something shine from a nearby building. She eyed the building with suspicious eyes.

"Is something wrong honey?" Her mother asked.

"Nothing's wrong mom." She smiled.

"Can we please hurry!" Green gritted his teeth, his eyes bulging out in anger.

"It's getting late anyways." Silver said. "We should head back to the hotel."

As the group strolled forward, Silver glanced elsewhere for a moment, looking at the same green building Blue was looking at. He thought to himself, "Who is it this time?"


Green, Silver, Erika and Blue's parents all gathered around the table. Erika rolled the dice onto the board game laid before them as Silver looked at his cards, his eyes searching for the right one, reading descriptions imprinted on the cards. Green laid out a card while Blue's parents looked nervous over their poor hands.

"Where is she?" A picture flashed. The hooded assailant stood on the concrete roof of a green building, taking pictures with her camera. "She's gone for a while. Is she no longer there?"

"I'm just right over here!" A voice echoed from behind.

"Huh… ehwewhhaat!" The hooded assailant, startled, jumped backwards awkwardly, almost tripping herself against a roof pipe. "Oh uh... um... hi?"

"So… whatcha doing?" She grinned.

"N… nothing. Just enjoying the sights…"

"You mean… photographing... from this peculiar roof... in front of my hotel… with a suspicious looking hood?"

"Um… hey! How did you even get here?"

"I'm as sly as a fox newbie." Blue dropped the grin. She crossed her arms wearing a serious expression on her face. She wanted answers. "Now you're going to tell me what you're doing here?"

"No. I think not." She smiled, pulling out a Pokeball from her sleeve. "Haxorus! Go!"

The Pokeball beamed opened, a tall golden dragon slided onto the ground roaring. "HWAAAAWWR!"

Blue rolled her eyes taking a deep breath. She gently threw a Pokeball. "Go Granbull."

The Pokeball beamed opened, a bulky pinkish bulldog sporting giant fangs standing on his two hind legs.

Granbull howled "Awwwooo!"

The Fairy Pokemon growled, his eyes staring deep into Haxorus's eyes. The dragon was trying to maintain a fierce look while also sweating nervously, glowing blue.

"Intimidate huh?" The Assailant recognized the ability. "Haxorus! Ignore it! Dragon Claw!"

The Haxorus charged forward bearing it's fangs as Blue smiled. The tall golden axe dragon slashed its claws to the bulldog. However the claws only budge into his tough skin like nothing happened! Haxorus looked annoyed now as Granbull grinned back.

"No damage?!" The Assailant looked clueless.

"She's definitely a newbie." Blue shook her head. She spoke up. "You don't seem to be up to date? Granbull's a fairy type and happens to literally be called the Fairy Pokemon! Now Granbull!" She pointed to the Haxorus. "Play Rough!"

Granbull grinned, sizing up his arms as he reached out to the dragon. Haxorus quickly backed off on his two feet.

"Grrr..." Granbull charged forward.

The Assailant shouted an order. "Iron Tail! Crunch!"

The Haxorus tail shined brightly as he slammed his tail into the attacking Granbull. Haxorus grabbed the Granbull with his menacing jaws in a full 360 degree angle from his tail to jaws! Haxorus threw the Granbull into the nearby elevator's door made of metal.

"Grrr... bull" Granbull slumped to the ground from the bent-up door.

"Well there goes the easy escape." The assailant thought. "At least that Granbull's taken care of and…"

"Go Cleflable!" Blue interrupted the thought, threw another Pokeball.

"Another fairy type!" She gritted her teeth as a pinkish fairy-like Pokemon hopped into the fray. "Dragon Dance!"

A bluish-purplish flaming aura emerged around Haxorus glowing red twice.

"Good thing Granbull lowered that strength of his." Blue thought. She pointed to Haxorus, calling out to Clefable. "Moonblast!"

"Clefable!" Clefable nodded, giving a serious look.

"Haxorus!" The Assailant ordered. "Strike her down."

The Haxorus charged forward, snapped his jaws to the Clefable only for her to hop to the right, away from those snapping jaws!

"Clefable!" Clefable smiled raising her hands into the full moon, energy pouring into a ball of light!

But Haxorus was agile!

"HAXOR!" Rotated his body again from head to tail, Haxorus slammed his glowing iron tail into Clefable!

"Clefable!" Clefable shouted as she too was thrown towards the bent-up door, the ball of light shattered by the interruption.

Blue looked shocked seeing Clefairy knocked out with spiral eyes from such a powerful attack. Blue returned Clefable quickl, preparing another Pokeball from her bag. "Okay! I'll beat Haxorus with Haxorus!"

"You have a Haxorus?" The Assailant thought.

"Go! Ditto!" She beamed open Ditto to the field.

"Ditto!" The Ditto landed on the ground, waving its pink gooey sides like a pair of muscular arms before transforming!

Ditto grew ten times sizes bearing razor sharp claws, golden scales and a long sharp tail.

The Assailant sighed, shaking her head. "Oh please. That Ditto may be identical but he doesn't have his strengths! Dragon Claw!"

"Dragon Claw!" Blue ordered.

The Haxorus rampaged to the Ditto Haxorus. As soon as he got closer, the Ditto Haxorus vanished leaving puffs of thin dust.

"Hrawr?" Haxorus stopped.

Haxorus wondered where that Ditto could've gone. Suddenly a strange feeling shocked his entire body. He felt claws sinking deep from behind. The dragon gritted his teeth, his red eyes slowly turning around to see Ditto Haxorus.

"It shouldn't be faster!" The assailant gritted her teeth as her Haxorus unconsciously fell to the floor before the Ditto Haxorus! She quickly pulled up Haxorus's Pokeball. "Return!"

The Ditto Haxorus happily stuck her tongue out victoriously, taunting the opponent.

"What?" The Assailant noticed something around Ditto Haxorus's tongue. She thought to herself. "A choice scarf!? So that's how she was able to outspeed my Haxorus. Annoying but genius."

Blue smiled at the thought confidently. "That choice scarf I got from the Battle Frontier was definitely a great idea!"

"No matter." The Assailant remained calm pulling a Pokeball under her sleeve. "Go! Salamence!"

The assailant sent out another Pokeball. It beamed open, revealing to be a long four-legged bluish-green dragon with wide crimson red wings.

"RAAAAAAAAAAWWWR!" Salamence flew past above Blue.

Blue held her hat tight to her head from getting blown away by the flapping winds.

"Salamence huh?" Blue noticed her Ditto Haxorus sweating nervously, trying to maintain a tough look. Still she glowed blue. "Intimidate. Like Granbull's ability. Hmm?"

The assailant grinned as she revealed something around her neck. A mega stone embedded in a necklace. A mega necklace.

"Mega evolve!" She grinned, clicking the stone.

Salamence roared as the crimson winged dragon was enveloped by a sphere of energy. The sphere broke and vanished, the dragon's body and wings grew even bigger! The Mega Salamence tucked its legs in its newly scale-hard vest looking somewhat like an jetcraft.

"Ditto…" Ditto Haxorus awaited orders.

Blue shouted. "Dragon Claw Ditto!"

"Ditto!" Ditto Haxorus nodded.

"Double-edge" The Assailant grinned.

Salamence roared as it came flying at the Ditto Haxorus at amazing speeds. Ditto panicked at the fearsome looking creature, transforming back to its original pink form. Ditto ducked below those red shiny wings. Ditto gasped for a moment, Salamence's crimson blood wings slicing through the solid concrete and the bent-up metal door that formed the elevator quite easily.

"Whoa! Those wings are like blades now!" Blue looked startled. She could hear the Elevator tumbling and crashing below them.

"They sure are." The Assailant smiled.

"Ditto! Transform!"

"Ditto!" Ditto nodded back to her trainer.

Ditto turned her back to the fight only to freeze in fear. Salamence head-charged the Ditto with ferocious strength and speed. It was Dragon Rush! Ditto bounced and tumbled back and forth on the solid ground with spiral eyes as Salamence flew away in a great distance.

"Ditto! I'm sorry!" Blue shouted to her Pokemon. She quickly returned Ditto to her Pokeball. "Even with choice scarf, Ditto still isn't much of a fighter."

The Assailant smiled as usual, standing there in the same place as before. "You should give up now."

Blue pulled out another Pokeball. "I find it odd you're not taking the chance to escape right now with such a fast Pokemon."

"I'm touched but you should be more concerned about yourself!"

"You're going to tell me!" Blue aimed her Pokeball to her, eyes locked to her face hidden underneath that cloak. "Blasty! Your up!"

The Poke Ball opened, a flash of light enveloped the roof.

The Assailant covered her eyes. She looked to see Blue's Blastoise and couldn't help but chuckle. "Hehe... seriously?"

"Blastoise!" Blue angrily yelled at the hulking turtle.

Blastoise sat there on the ground, in the midst of enjoying a rice ball he probably got from the restaurant.

"You're going to get your Pokeball messy if you keep bringing food inside!" Blue yelled.

"Blast?" Blastoise looked around his surroundings, seeing a hooded assailant, a vicious-looking dragon watching and a destroyed escape exit. Blastoise quickly sprung into action, popping his two cannons out of his shell, ready for battle! "Blastoise!"

She smiled. "That's more like it!"

"What now?" The Assailant yawned. "Hmm?"

"This!" She revealed a bracelet around her wrist, one with a particularly large stone. The young lady clicked the megastone. "Mega Evolve!"

"Blast!" Blastoise became enveloped by a sphere of light.

The Assailant watched on as the sphere broke and vanish! The giant turtle emerged sporting two new cannons on his shell-armored arms and one giant one on his much larger shell. All of those cannons gleamed nicely under the full moon, locked and loaded!

"Let's shoot down that Salamence, Blastoise" She pointed to the target in the center of the moon.

"Go Salamence!" The Assailant pointed to Blastoise.

Mega Salamence flew off at a great distance, yards away from the building in the great moonlight as Mega Blastoise stayed in position aiming his three cannons at the aircraft-like Pokemon.

"Ready!" Blue pointed at the incoming target.

"Blastoise." Blastoise nodded his head.

"Dragon Pulse!" She ordered.

"Blast!" Blastoise fired thousands and thousands of purplish energy missiles shaped like dragons from those three cannons at rapid fire!

"This is getting dangerous!" The assailant thought. "Salamence! Dodge those fires! Double-Edge!"

Salamence roared as he felt the stream of air flowing heavier against his body, dodging and spiraling across the thousands of Dragon Pulses firing at him at incredible speeds! Each one Salamence dodged exploded behind him. Salamence's eye reflected against Mega Blastoise becoming bigger and bigger as he came closer!

"That Blastoise is too slow to escape with that extra fire power. This will be over!" The assailant thought.

"Wait for it…" Blue watched.

"Finish this!" The assailant ordered.

Mega Salamence barreled roll, spinning to dodge the dragon-like missiles. Mega Salamence came closer and closer, aerilating itself with air as Mega Blastoise continue to shower artillery fire!

"Okay!" Blue smiled. "Take a stance! It's time to slam-dunk that dragon!"

"Blast!" Mega Blastoise withdraw his cannons, spreading out its arms wide open, his heavy legs took a stance quickly while the Mega Salamence got close, too close!

"RAAAAAAWR!" Mega Salamence head-charged the Blastoise!

A thought just hit the Assailant. She shouted "Wait a minute! It's a trap!"

Mega Salamence tackled the heavy-weight, unable to change directions as Mega Blastoise gritted his teeth, his heavy arms head-locking the Mega Salamence. Blastoise could feel his legs being pushed across the ground, scraping dust off the concrete!

"Dragon Pulse! Now!" Blue shouted.

Mega Blastoise gritted his teeth as he slowed down gripping the dragon's neck in his arm, a huge cannon popped out… right in front of Salamence's face. Salamence's eyes widened in bewilderment, trying to shake away from Blastoise's heavy grip, pushing his claws against his shell!

"Blast…" Mega Blastoise's eyes sparked fire within them. "...TOISE!" Blastoise launched a Dragon Pulse at point-blank range to Mega Salamence's head.

The Assailant could only helplessly yell "No!"

Salamence's head became enveloped by one giant purple blast! Such energy formed into a purplish dragon roaring widespread across the night sky as the nightlife populace of Celadon City gazed at the Dragon Pulse's beauty and fierceness. Couples were in awe, children pointed their fingers at the building, a baby dropped his pacifier. They all pondered what that was as it dispersed into the night sky.

The Assailant quickly returned the burnt-out Mega Salamence as it reverted back to its original form.

"Answers! Now!" Blue demanded.

"Blast." Blastoise aimed her cannons at her.

"Maybe next time." She backed away to the edge of the building, holding another Pokeball in her hand. She clicked it open aiming off the edge. "Go. Altaria."

The Pokeball beamed opened, a bluish bird flapping it's cloud-like wings awaiting it's trainer.

"Come back here!" Blue ran after her.

The Assailant took a step forth, calmly landing on the Altaria's back. This didn't stopped Blue from leaping off the edge!

"Blast!?" Mega Blastoise looked horrified, watching her go off without hesitation!

As Altaria took off, Blue landed on the Assailant's ride on her two feet easily.

"What!?" The Assailant turned around, shocked she would do something so dangerous.

"Errgh!" Blue gritted her teeth, tackling the Assailant.

"Are you crazy!?" The Assailant yelled angrily.

"Taria!?" Altaria's eyes whited in shock noticing the two ladies fighting on her back mid-air!

"Maybe a little." Blue smirked.

"GET OFF! MY ALTARIA!" The Assailant pushed her off with both hands.

She looked down, there was no horror on her face, no screaming. The Assailant only saw Blue smiling back in the air with no worries. No worries at all. This annoyed her further until she noticed something. The wind breezing upon her gloveless hand.

"What!?" She noticed her glove was missing!

She quickly looked below Altaria's wings, the assailant gasped at the sight of Blue standing on a rocketing withdrawn Blastoise, propelling itself with hydro pump through it's cannons. Blue stuck her tongue out while holding her glove... and her camera!?

"That sneaky little... hehehe. I will admit that's brilliant. Altaria use..."

"Use Dark Pulse!" A voice cut her off.

Altaria flew below a pulse of darkness, narrowly escaping it. The Assailant looked where it came from, spotting Silver on a large crow-like Pokemon, a Honchkrow, and Green on a large orange dragon, Charizard!

The Assailant clenched her hands into a fist, gritting her teeth. "Altaria! Let's just get out of here! Now!"

"Blastoise! Let's go!" Blue pointed at the fleeing duo.

"Blast?" Blastoise's cannon spurted water little by little eventually to sprinkles.

"Not right now!" Blue looked at the cannon's, now there was only water droplets.

Blue felt her balance shaking as Blastoise began to fall.

"Return!" Blue beamed Blastoise back to her Pokeball.

Blue no longer felt any solid surface, horror seeped in her face. Blue screamed for help falling in the air, this strange feeling of horror and helplessness felt... nostalgic somehow.

"I got you!" Silver's Honchkrow swooped in.

Blue stopped screaming, seeing Honchkrow's talons narrowly missing her. Blue took a deep breath, deciding this wasn't the time to panick! She quickly got her next Pokeball.

"C'mon! Need you now buddy!" Blue aimed the Pokeball below her knees, light flashed below.

"Wiggly!" Wigglytuff smiled until she noticed she wasn't on any flat surface. Wigglytuff's eyes widened and panicked for a quick second. She puffed up, expanding her size like a balloon.

Wigglytuff expanded and expanded before she hit the solid ground, bouncing like a ball a few times as Blue held onto her tight.

Erika watched the huge pink balloon with rabbit-like ears coming right at her, slowing down with each bounce eventually halting to a stop.

"Oh my..." Erika saw the giant Wigglytuff inches away from her feet.

"Hi their!" Blue stuck her hand out visibly, giving a thumbs up from Wigglytuff's puffy body. "I'm alright!"


Silver jumped off from Honchkrow running to Blue near the Game Corner. "You could've gotten hurt you know!"

"I'm alright! I'm alright! You know me! I was just gone a little while." She smiled. "Ain't that right Wiggly!"

Wigglytuff sighed, rolling her eyes at the countless times she got herself caught in danger.

"She agrees with me." She smiled. "Hey? How'd you know where to find me?"

"That's easy." Green jumped off of his Charizard. "Erika decided to keep your parents busy and less worry while we try to find you after being gone for more than a 'little while' as you put it. Next thing you know we all see a huge dragon pulse in the sky. We knew you were fighting someone."

"How did you know about the spy? Wait! Where is she!" Blue just remembered.

"While Silver was busy trying to save you I tried to chase her but she manage to escape. Crafty but reckless." Green sighed. "We knew about the spy already because we, especially Silver here, also spotted the person spying on us."

"Really?"

"You sound surprise. Were both professional trainers and Erika here knows archery after all." Green said. "Anyways. That doesn't matter now. Did you found anything out about her?"

"I got her camera and also... I got this." Blue unveiled a black glove.

Blue's smile disappeared. Everyone around her, eyes widened as it held a red R symbol on it. Team Rocket. Silver especially froze.

"Their back… again?" Erika clenched her right hand into a fist.

"It appears so." Green said. "We gotta alert Red and Yellow. Where are they anyways?"

"Oh… um." Blue placed her finger on her chin, trying to remember. "I believe Red's on his way to Saffron City through the Rock Tunnel to meet up with Yellow at Lavender Town."

"Lavender Town?" Green sighed.

"Is something wrong?"

"Nothing. I don't exactly have good memories of that place. Met a certain ninja on my way there." Green remembered Koga's face from that day. He looked back to Blue. "What is Yellow doing in Lavender town anyways?"


A young blond-haired girl wearing her favorite straw hat felt a sense of relief, her hands glowing over an Oddish. Next to her an old bald man sporting a white casual shirt and brown slacks and a long brown-haired young woman sporting a white top and bright blue jeans curiously watching the spectacle.

"Oddish!" Oddish sprang up happy and jumpy, smiling at Yellow.

"Whew! You look much better!" Yellow sighed with a smile, her eyes feeling tired.

"Is something wrong?" The young woman spoke.

"Hmm… nothing? Just a little sleepy." Yellow stretched her arms. She faced to the old man smiling at her work. "Anyways? How has it been with the past few years Mr. Fuji?"

"Good. Very good." Mr. Fuji smiled. Something just popped into Fuji's head. She turned to the woman next to him. "Hmm… why… you forgot to introduce yourself young lady to our guest."

"Oh right!" She smiled widely at the young girl. "My name is Amber. I'm Fuji's daughter. Please to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you Amber!" Yellow smiled back.
