Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, Martians and mermaids, I am your host the infamous Pika-Bones. I bring you chapter 9 of this "Somebody please given me a shorter name for this fanfic" story. I hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. Good thing too, I would probably find a way to screw it up
Ch.9
"Alright mom, I'm off" Serena was in the front yard of her mother's house in the small breezy town of Vaniville.
Serena has a love for fashion and clothing, so there was no doubt she would pick the perfect outfit for her new journey.
After seeing what had happened in Lumiouse, she had decided she would track down that boy. She was sure it was him, she was sure it was Ash. Who else has that messy raven hair with those deep auburn eyes and those same features…
Serena's mind began to wonder Ash she thought of Ash and when they met back at proffessor's Oak summer camp. It's not like she had only been thinking about Ash since she saw him on t.v. but he has been on her mind often.
She was brought back from her own thoughts when her mom responded,
"Alright Serena, I'll miss you. I know this will be a great experience for you" Grace looked at her daughter, knowing full well she was growing up. This was probably for the best. But Grace did have this sinking feeling about her daughter.
Grace wasn't blind, she could see her daughter didn't love Rhyhorn racing as she did herself. Maybe Rhyhorn racing was in her blood, but not in her heart. It was a bit disappointed that her daughter wouldn't follow in her footsteps, but she knew that as long her daughter found what would make her happy that would be enough for her.
"By the way" continued Grace, "this sudden urge to travel wouldn't have anything to do with that boy you saw on T.V, would it" Grace got up close to her daughters face with a knowing glint in her eye.
"Wh-what" a small blush appeared on Serena's face and she quickly tried to shake it off, "o-of course not".
Grace stepped back from her daughter. "Yeah right" she thought to herself, "well I guess it can't be helped.
"So" Grace began trying to change the subject, "do you know what Pokemon you're getting."
"Yeah, but it's a secret" Serena said regaining her composure.
"I see, well, be careful out there. Do you have everything you need?"
"Yes mom. I'll call you soon alright" Serena began to run out of the front yard and towards her new destination.
"Don't forget to practice your Rhyhorn racing!" called out Grace to her daughter.
"Will do" responded Serena as she ran out of Grace's sight.
"Sure you will."
Grace petted Rhyhorn, "you'll miss her too won't you".
"Rhy" nodded the the spikes Pokemon.
"Fletch" cried Grace's Flletchling as it perched itself onto Grace's shoulder.
"And I know you will miss her too. Now there will be no one to peck awake in the morning" Garce said as she looked towards the flying type.
"Fletch" it cried sadly.
Grace gave a small smile as she just admired the beautiful skies.
Ash and company had woken up after a night of camping. After the whole Ash vs. Paul vs. Froakie vs. Pikachu vs. Weavile vs. Raichu vs. Bayleaf vs. Honchcrow vs, Fletchling incedent, they were a bit behind where they thought they would be at this point.
But certainly, the future Pokemon master Ash Ketchum would not allow this to go by unnoticed. Certainly he will do everything in his power to make up ground and make it to the Santalune city gym as planned and earn his first gym badge in the Kalos region. And certainty, no obstacle will stop him achieving his first step. Well…
"Ash get up, it's late already" May yelled from outside of Ash's tent. There was no response, except for the low sound of snoring.
"I still can't believe he was sleep eating" Clemont said while he and Bonnie were finishing packing up while May was trying to wake up Ash, and failing miserably.
Apparently Ash had reached such a perfect state of eating and sleeping that he seems to have learned how to do it simultaneously. The problem was that after eating he went straight back to his tent.
Everybody was dumbfounded when it had happened, and breakfast became awkard as of result. Even Pikachu was dumbfounded.
"It is very interesting. I've never seen something like it myself" Clemont said as he put on his high tech backpack.
"More like creepy" May replied, "and it's probably just a bunch of BS."
"What happened yesterday must have really worn him out" Clemont tried to defend Ash.
"Well apparently that doesn't count as an excuse for Paul."
Clemont turned and looked at the area were Paul slept last night in his sleeping bag, "He was gone even before we woke up."
"You hear that Ash, Paul's probably already at the gym. Get up!"
There was no response.
"Fine then, we tried to reason with you. Pikachu, wake up Ash for us please" May said with a mischievous grin.
"Pika" smiled the Electric Mouse Pokemon michesouvly.
Pikachu entered the tent quietly, weaving around the blankets, and finding Ash. Pikachu made contact with the tip of his tail and Ash's nose.
"Ah!" Ash yelled in pain as Pikachu recharged the raven haired trainer,
"That should do it" said May.
Bonnie and Clemont sweat dropped. They were right; traveling with Ash was going to be something else.
Paul was walking on a dirt road, in a small clearing that led to a nearby Pokemon Center. He was planning on healing his Pokemon and taking off once again to santalune city. By his estimation he would be able to make it there by afternoon. Hopefully enough time for his gym battle.
Unfortunately he hadn't found any Pokemon he was interested in other than the Fletchling Ash caught yesterday. It looked like he would have to face the Santalune gym leader with his other he had caught earlier in other regions. It wasn't really ideal. Since he wanted to test the power of some newer Pokemon and have them gain experience, but it wouldn't be a major issue, he'll just do what he has to do.
The Pokemon Center was in sight but before he could make it, he heard a low rumbling noise come his way. Then a rusty jeep appeared on the road, coming right towards him. The driver was a large stubby man with a big nose. There was a gray Pokemon in the seat next to him that was stubby like the man with two large, shovel like ears, and two buck teeth.
Paul quickly jumped out of the way, towards the side of the road, not wanting to become road kill.
"Son of a bitch."
The jeep quickly speed past him. He then heard a siren coming. It was Officer Jenny in her motorcycle with a Manetric in a side car.
"Stop the car!" Demanded Officer Jenny.
"Like I'm going to listen to you! Gimme a break Jenny" the stubby man then turned to the stubby rabbit like Pokemon, "Diggersby use mud shot".
Diggerdby complied as it turned towards Office Jenny.
"Diggers-By!" Cried the Pokemon as it fired a Mud Shot at Officer Jenny, causing her to momentarily lose control of her mortycycle.
"Haha, good job Diggersby."
"Ugh, get back over here!" Office Jenny became irate as she continued to pursue the jeep.
The driver of the jeep unknowingly hit a large bump on the road, causing a cage in the back to fly off, and land on the side of the road.
"No! This can't be, my merchandise!" Yelled the stubby man as he continued to flee from Officer Jenny. They both sped put of site and into the forest.
Paul had seen the entire thing, and he was intrigued about the cage that had fallen off the jeep.
He neared the cage, and as he came closer he could see something crawling out.
"Hm?" Paul let out as he was able to see what was in the cage.
In front of Paul was a small, black, insectoid like Pokemon. It had a large head that takes up most of its body, and two large khaki colored eyes with black square pupils.
Paul looked at the Pokemon for a second before giving a random sigh and pulling out his pokedex.
"Scatterbug, the Scatterdust Pokemon. The black powder that covers its body helps regulate its body tempature. When under attack from other Pokmeon, it spews a poisonous black powder in self-defense. The Black powder paralysis on contact."
"Seems useless to me."
Immediately after the Pokedex finished reciting the information, Scatterbug released some of the black power with a small squeal.
"Whoa, calm down there buddy" Paul began uninterested, "I'm not going to hurt you".
The Scatter bug then proceeded to fall over in what seemed to be in exhaustion.
Seeing Scaterbug fall over, Paul came up to it and picked it up in his hands,
"Well, I guess I can't just leave it here to become road kill."
And now with Scatterbug in hand, Paul continued towards the Pokemon Center.
"Hey Pikachu, I thought we were past the whole shocking me part of our friendship" Ash said grumpily.
"Pika-Pika" responded the Electric Mouse Pokemon only somewhat apologetically.
After being woken up by Pikachu, Ash and company had begun heading towards Santalune City.
"It's your own fault. It was getting late, you were going sleep through the whole day" May began, but then she saw Ash grimace a little bit, and her tone softened, "so how's your back?"
"I'm fine it's getting better. I barely feel it at all" Ash said with a grin.
"Maybe I was wrong. He has been through a lot lately. Maybe we should have let him rest more." May thought to herself worried about Ash.
Ash noticed this and reaffirmed that he was okay, "don't worry, I really do feel better. You guys are right; I don't have time to waste".
To prove this Ash picked up the pace, but before they could get any further, a low grumbling noise could be heard up ahead.
"Hey, do you guys hear that?" Ash began to look around trying to locate the source of the sound.
"I hear it too. What do you think it is?" Everybody began stopped walking as they searched for the source of the sound.
Then, out of nowhere, an old jeep steered straight towards them.
"Watch out!" Ash yelled as they all jumped out of the way of the speeding jeep.
The gang turned towards the speeding jeep in shock.
"What is that guy's problem!" May said enraged, "he was going to run us over".
"Out of the way!" The gang heard a feminine voice from behind them to find a motorcycle speeding towards them this time. The driver was none other than Officer Jenny.
The gang was more than happy to comply as they moved out of the way as Jenny sped past them.
"If Officer Jenny after that guy" began Clemont from the seat of his pants "then he might be a wanted criminal."
"Well, we can't just stand here. Let's see if we can help." Ash then darted after the two vehicles as the others followed.
It didn't take long though till they lost them and Clemont couldn't run anymore, for which he was scolded by Bonnie.
Ash looked upset about not being able to help. May noticed this so she came up to him, "don't worry Ash, I'm sure Officer Jenny has everything under control. She is the best at what she does, or is it they?" May said that last part to no one in particular with her right index finger on her chin,
"Yeah, we should trust her, though I can't shake off the fact I have a bad feeling about this."
"Thank you for healing my Pokemon" Paul said politely as Nurse Joy handed him back his Pokeballs.
"You're very welcome, and Scatterbug is healthy as well. Thank you for bringing it here to recover" Nurse Joy said with a smile.
Paul only nodded in response.
"By the way, this Scatterbug is not from around here. You can tell because Scatterbug from different areas have key differences, like their final evolutions." Nurse Joy directed Paul to a screen above her which showed a number a Villvion, each with a different color pattern on their wings.
"Vivillon"
"I would be very interested to know where you found this Scatterbug" Nurse Joy asked.
Paul began to answer, but he was quickly cut-off,
"I've got you" a feminine but assertive voice cut off Paul causing him to turn. His arm was quickly lassoed by a long and strong piece of rope,
"Hey!" Was all Paul could say when he was pulled from his current spot and towards Officer Jenny.
"Don't move, or you'll be in a lot more trouble than you're already in" Officer Jenny said sternly. Then a growling Manetric with bared fangs appeared.
"What the hell are you talking about. You must be out of your mind" responded Paul furiously.
"Believe me, I know who you are. If you have a stolen Scatterbug you must work with Dolan the Pokemon smuggler."
"And believe me, you have no idea who I am" Paul took his free hand and grabbed the rope tightly. He began to pull Officer Jenny in.
She was struggling, but a furious Paul was winning this tug-of-war.
As Paul pulled, Manetric advanced toward him, growling with bared teeth.
"Don't growl at me, I'll kick you."
Paul's eyes and tone made Manetric hesitate and step back for a moment before once again advancing once again, but not as aggressively as before.
"Threatning an officer? Your just digging yourself a bigger hole" Jenny said as she struggled to keep her ground.
"I didn't threatened an officer, I threatened your stupid dog" Paul spat out.
Paul managed to pull Office Jenny in, and they were only a few inches apart, "Don't you dare call me a Pokemon smuggler" uttered a seething Paul.
"I call it like I see it" responded an increasingly irate Office Jenny.
Just then, before things escalate even more, Ash and company walked into the Pokemon Center. They quickly saw what was happening since it had become the center of attention in the Pokemon Center. Ash quickly ran up to the two with the others in tow.
"Paul what's going on!?" Ash asked frantically.
All Ash got in response was a grunt as the tug of war continued.
Officer Jenny was the one to give Ash a response,
"I'm in the process of apprehending this criminal for Pokemon Smuggling."
"Pokemon Smuggling?" Ash, Clemont, May, and Bonnie all shared the same thought.
"And failing miserably" Paul began as he continued to struggle with Offiice Jenny, "I saw chasing that other guy on the road looks like you couldn't catch him either. Pathetic."
Those words seem to hit the spot, because as Ash turned to look at Officer Jenny, he swore he could see fire coming out of her,
"Oh shit! She's going to tear him apart."
Ash new he had to do something, so he began as he bowed his head towards Office Jenny.
"Officer Jenny, I know Paul may be a lot of things, and he may have said some things he regrets, but please understand he is not a Pokemon smuggler, he would never do such a thing. He's my brother, please believe me."
Ash's words seemed to had an effect as Officer Jenny's expression soften, though she still looked angry, and she was still trying to reel in Paul.
Ash then turned his attention to Paul,
"Paul, calm down, get a grip! This isn't you! Focus!" Ash called out strongly.
Ash's words seemed to have the intended as Paul remembered something he said just yesterday.
Flashback
"Get a grip and focus on the objective" Paul said sternly.
"Wea-vile?" It looked towards its trainer, and its words seemed to calm it down a bit. It then quickly turned its attention to Fletchling.
Paul let go of the rope causing Office Jenny to lose her balance.
Both weren't in their best of moods, but compared to earlier, things were calmer.
"Listen" Paul began, "I found Scatterbug on the side of the road. I saw a cage fall of the guys' truck you were following, and Scatterbug was inside".
Officer Jenny released the rope and her demeaner quickly changed,
"Oh no, I did it again. I'm always jumping to conclusions, and then I mess up. I'm sorry." Jenny then covered her eyes with her hat embarrassed.
Paul only glanced for a second before walking towards a table and sitting and sitting down. He silently looked at his bandaged hands. He seemed out of it, not wanting to look away from his hands.
"Dolan the Pokemon smuggler?" Ash asked, trying to learn more about the situation.
After everything settled, everybody gathered around one of the tables, including Office Jenny and Paul, thought they kept their distance, for obvious reasons. Scatterbug was on the table as well.
"Yes, Dolan is a greedy man who captures Scatterbug in multitudes to sell them as Vivillon on the black market. Since Vivillon have different patterns which are rare depending on the area, they tend to garner a high price" Officer Jenny explained to the group.
"That's horrible, all those Scatterbug being captured and sold like nothing more than a piece of furniture" May said, visibly disgusted.
"He stinks" Bonnie said upset as well
Clemont second that and he stood up, all rilled up.
"How low can you get. What an awful thing to do" Ash said to no one in particular, "we need to do something".
Jenny gave all of them a nod "I wish I could find his hideout, but he keeps shaking me off" then Jenny noticed Scatterbug running around in circles on the table, "huh? Scatterbug is becoming restless".
The group all turned towards Scatterbug while Paul looked from afar.
Scatterbug then abruptly stopped and then began to glow white before changing shape.
"Spewpa" cried the newly evolved Pokemon.
Everybody let out a small gasp at the unexpected evolution.
"Cool, Scatterbug evolved." Ash then pulled out his Pokedex.
"Spewpa, the Scatterdust Pokémon. When Spewpa is attacked, it scares its enemies away by stiffening and spreading its fur like wings."
"That's so cool!" Ash can you teach me about evolution.
"I can do that" Ash pointed to himself, "You see, a Pokemon begins glowing super bright! Then it changes form, and that's when everybody goes wow! That's all there really is to it."
"Are you stupid or something" Paul entered the conversation, "don't poison the mind of the young one with your nonsense."
"You've got a problem! Then you explain it" Ash shot back.
"Very well then." Paul turned to Bonnie, "Pokemon evolution happens when a Pokemon beats the living daylight out of enough Pokemon and then it becomes stronger".
"Okay, I don't get it at all" stated Bonnie confused.
"I guess that's my cue to take over" Clemont said as his glasses shined white.
"Is there a problem with my explanation, dork?"
Clemont flinched before continuing, "no its fine, just allow me to elaborate. There are some Pokemon that change their shape after certain criteria are met. And this is called evolution. For example, Scatterbug evolves into Spewpa, and Spewpa evolves into Villvion. There are several way to make Pokemon evolve, but the most common way is through experience, like Spewpa when they reach a certain level and evolve into Villvion. An alternative method is using an evolutionary stone. For example, Pikachu can use a Thunderstone to evolve into Raichu."
"Yeah that, Clemont was saying the same thing I said in a different way" Ash said.
"Yeah think" Bonnie replied giving Ash a funny gaze.
"Impressive eh" began Clemont before he cut himself off when he saw something sparkle on Spewpa.
"Whats this" Clemont grabbed a magnifying glass out of nowhere and inspected whatever was on Spewpa's fur.
"Looks like a chip that is used for transmitting signals."
"But why would something like that be on Spewpa?" May asked to no one in particular.
"I know, Dolan must have placed it there, that way he could track Spewpa" Officer Jenny quickly deduced.
"Spew-pa" the Scatterdust Pokemon approached Ash.
"Huh? What's wrong Spewpa" Ash asked concerned.
"Spew-pa"
"It must be worried about its friends since Dolan still has them at the moment."
"Don't worry Spewpa" Ash began, trying to reassure the Pokemon, "We'll get your friends back, just you see".
With that Spewpa jumped onto his other shoulder opposite of Pikachu
"Why don't you just use Spewpa as bait, and use the tracking device to find his hideout" Paul came closer to the group, still avoiding and unnecessary eye contact, "aren't you supposeto be good at things like this."
"That's a great plan" Jenny began slowly, "you think we can pull it off."
"Well, I guess that's my cue." Clemont quickly reached his bag.
"The future is now, with science! Clemontic gear on. I happen to have the perfect invention for a situation like this" Clemont held up his invention for all to marvel at, "I like to call it the omnidirectional super sensitive tracking dish."
Ash, May, and Jenny all gasped in amazement while Paul looked bored as always, and all Bonnie could do was sigh, "the name is better this time."
"With this we can track Spewpa's exact location. Power on" the device began functioning, showing the chip's location with a red dot on a grid.
"Awesome, science is so amazing." Ash said with glimmering eyes.
"Pika!"
"Spewpa!"
Bonnie then came up running to her brother, "But Dolan dropped Scatterbug remember, and it evolved into Spewpa".
"Don't worry" began Office Jenny, "I'm sure when Dolan see's Spewpa with the chip it won't take him long to figure it out".
"But I don't feel right about this. Putting Spewpa back in danger and in the hands of Dolan is the last thing we should do."
Spewpa seemed to sense the worry amongst the group and quickly acted. It got off Ash's shoulder and began to call out, "Spewpa, Spewpa"
"Looks like Spewpa is up for it" Ash noticed the fire in Spewpa as well as its desire to help its friends.
Paul noticed this too as he gazed towards Spewpa for a moment, before he began to talk again, "then, what are we waiting for. I don't appreciate being nearly run over, this will be my chance to crush Dolan".
Ash thought it was strange Paul was willing to help, and for some reason he felt that crushing Dolan was not Paul's main objective.
Ash and company hid behind a few bushes on the side of the dirt road where Paul found Spewpa. They laid in wait for Dolan to return for Spewpa. Nobody dared to move a muscle.
"If Dolan doesn't come to take Spewpa back, this whole plan is a bust" explained Clemont.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he will come back for Spewpa, Dolan is a very greedy man" replied Officer Jenny who was hiding behind a tree, as she waited on her motorcycle with Manetric in the side car.
On cue, they could hear the all too familiar sound of Dolan's jeep rumbling down the road. Dolan pulled over to the side of the road. He then got off and neared the cage where Spewpa was in.
"There it is, and not a scratch." Dolan picked up the cage and looked inside.
"Spew-pa" cried the Scatterdust Pokemon.
"So you evoleved into a Spewpa. Good, now you might evolve into a highly profitable Villvion, hahaha." Dolan placed the cage in the back of his jeep and drove off.
"Alright let's go, Clemont is your device ready?" Officer Jenny turned to the young inventor.
"We are on, let's do this."
Clemont led the way with his invention while everybody followed.
"He's nearby, just a little more-"
Before Clemont could finish his sentence, his invention blew up in his face, causing his hair to become unruly.
"Well, at least this time it worked for a while" commented Bonnie as his brother took shook off the Ash.
"I'm sorry Officer Jenny, and we were so close." Clemont bowed his head apologetically.
"It's okay Clemont" Officer Jenny began noticeably disappointed, "I'll continue looking, at least now I know the general area for his hideout. Thank you very much for your help.
"No problem Officer" was all Clemont said as she disappeared into the forest.
"Just great, my invention failed again." Clemont hanged his head down disheartened.
He then felt a hand on his shoulder; he quickly turned his head to find Ash,
"What are you talking about Clemont. You did great! Officer Jenny is right; with that invention of yours we now know where Dolan is in general" Ash then pumped his fist, "just leave the rest to us."
Clemont smiled again, "thank you, now let's find Spewpa and the Scatterbug."
"Right, go Fletchling we need you."
"Fletch-Fletchling" Fletchling appeared in a flah of light an sored into the air.
"We need you to look for Dolan's jeep, and his hideout. If you find it come back quickly."
"Fletch." the Tiny Robin Pokemon nodded. It then went off.
"Let's keep looking too." All five of them quickly ran with a new sense of urgency.
"Fletch-ling" cried the Tiny Robin Pokemon as it flew towards a small mountain in the middle of the forest.
On the mountain top Fletchling found Dolan's jeep and his hideout.
The small flying type, quickly flew back to notify Ash of the hideout's location.
"Where can that creep be" Ash muttered to himself.
"Fletch-Fletchling." A familiar cry could be heard overhead. And sure enough it was Fletchling.
"Fletchling! Did you find the hideout?"
"Fletch!" The flying type nodded.
"Lead the way then."
Fletchling complied and began to fly back to the small mountain with everybody else in tow.
Ash and company hid near the trees neared as they advance towards Dolan's hideout which was on a small mountain top.
"This must be it" Ash said to no one in particular, and in a hushed tone, like everybody else.
"Look, it's Spewpa." May pointed towards the cage that was still in the back of the jeep.
"Looks like Dolan got careless" commented Ash, as silently moved towards the Jeep.
"Hey Spewpa, didn't we tell you we would find you."
"Pika-Pi" greeted Pikachu
"Spewpa" cried the bug type happily.
Ash opened the cage to let Spewpa out. Then both of them made back to the others.
"Alright now that Spewpa is safe let's go free the others." Ash began to head towards the hideout.
"Hold on stupid."
Ash felt a hand hold his shoulder and pull him back.
"If you want to save the other Pokemon you need a plan. Here, I'll take over." Paul pulled Ash back to the others.
"Hey."
But before Ash could start complaining, Paul released Weavile.
"Wea-vile"
"Go and see if the coast is clear in the building" Paul directed.
Weavile complied and it acrobatically reached the top of the Dolan's hideout. Weavile peered inside and found all the captive Scatterbug, but no Dolan.
Wevile returned to Paul.
"Wea-vile" nodded the ice type.
"Good, the coast is clear" Paul said to no one in particular.
Paul, Weavile, and Spewpa advanced, while the rest began to walk when they were all snared up in a net.
"Hey! What is this" yelled Ash, while he and everybody else in the net struggled.
Paul turned to see the commotion, but he then heard a heavy step in front of him which caused him to look back.
"Hahaha, look what we got here. Hey kid, if you would be so kind as to give me my pretty Spewpa back?" It was Dolan.
Paul didn't respond, he just looked straight ahead.
"Silent type huh, very well, maybe I'll have begging for mercy. Go Diggersby!"
In a flash of light, Diggersby appeared.
"Get out of the way if you don't want to get splattered" Paul told Spewpa.
"Spewpa?"
"Out of the way!"
This time Spewpa reacted as it flinch and ran behind Paul.
"Diggersby! Mudshot" Dolan ordered.
Diggersby fired a series of mud balls at Weavile.
Weavile immediately dodged the mudballs as it advance on Diggersby.
"Ice Punch" ordered Paul.
Weavile's claw became surrounded by an icy aura.
"Dig Diggersby"
Weavile swung aat Diggersby, but missed the digging Digersby,
"Now, Hammer Arm!" Called out Dolan.
Diggersby reappeared on the surface with its ears glowing white and ready to strike.
"Evade" called out Paul.
Weavile leapt into the air as Diggersby struck down, evading the attack.
"Ice Shard"
Weavile landed back in front of Paul and fired a block of ice at Diggersby.
Diggersby though covered itself with its huge ears, minimizing the damage it had taken.
"Those ears are as annoying as Bunnelbys' ears" Paul thought to himself.
"Maybe I should take your Pokemon as well and sell them to the highest bidder. Yes, that would pay for the trouble you kids have cost me" Dolan said arrogantly as he imagined the possible money he could make.
Paul became fed up and he said something he thought he would ever say, "over my dead body".
This surprised everybody, including the Pokemon and including Paul.
"Be careful what you wish for buy. Diggersby, Hammer Arm at full power."
Diggersby charged with glowing white ears.
For the first time he could remember, Paul felt uncertain on the battlefield,
"Wait for my command" he called out trying to regain his composure.
Diggersby neared dangerously closer, but Paul did not give a command.
Then out of nowhere Spewpa came charging into the picture, intercepting Bunnelby with a tackle, sending the Digging Pokemon back to its trainer side.
"What!?" Was all Dolan could say.
"I told you to stay out of the way!" Paul began to yell, but then he had an epiphany.
"This personal for you, I understand now. Very well then, this is your fight. Go!"
Diggersby, show this Spewpa who it's messing with, Doubleslap."
Diggersbys' ears glowed an orange tint and it charged Spewpa.
Then a green barrier surrounded Spewpa, negating any damage from Doubleslap.
Spewpa then countered with stringshot. It attatched itself to Diggersby via its strinshot and began swinging around it, tying up the buck tooth Pokemon.
"What are you doing!" Shouted Dolan angrily, "break out of there."
Diggersby responded by breaking out of the Stringshot prison. Diggersby then began to pound its chest with its ears.
"Alright, now time to finish this."
Spewpa then began to run around in circles,
"Wait, does that mean…" began Paul.
"Of course, when Spewpa becomes restless, it mean it's going to evolve!" Clemont finished for Paul.
On cue, Spewpa began to glow bright whitew and it began to change form,
"Vivillon" cried the newly evolved Pokemon.
"Wow! It looks beautiful." Began Bonnie.
"It sure does" May said amazed.
Clemont recognized the pattern "If I'm not mistaken, that pattern is called the elegant pattern."
"That's great, Vivillon's beauty is what makes it so valuable. That's why Spewpa and Scatterbug are such great money makers."
Paul clenched his fist, "I'm going to kick your ass".
"How dare you talk to me like that. Diggersby, get rid of him with Mudshot!"
Diggersby fired the attack, but it never reached Paul. Vivillon, flew infront of Paul and covered him with safeguard.
Vivillon then proceeded to use Stunspore, paralyzing Diggersby and rendering it unable to battle.
"Diggersby, no!" Shouted Dolan, "Fine then, I'll just catch Vivillon myself."
"Hold it Dolan, you're under arrest" From behind Dolan Officer Jenny appeared as she lassoed Dolan, "sorry I'm late guys."
"If you think I'm going to do anything you say, you've got another thing coming" shouted Dolan.
"Stop or prepare for an electroball." Manetric began to spark threating to attack.
Dolan didn't stop fighting, and that is when Villvion came overhead and began to use its scale to subdue Dolan.
"Ah, you see, Villvions scales have the ability that causes an opponent's fighting spirit to vanish.
"And that's all he wrote for you Dolan. And now to free the Pokemon."
"I am sorry about my behavior earlier Officer Jenny" Paul said surprisingly as the sun set.
"Uh, that's fine, it is my fault anyway for not acting professionally."
"My behavior was unacceptable and I apologize for the untrue things I said. So can we say goodbye on good terms."
"Sure."
Paul gave a small nod.
"Well, that's all of them. You guys are free to go" Ash told the group of Spewpa they had freed.
Vivillon greeted her fellow Spewpa, but that would change when the Spewpa began to evolve simultaneously onto Vivillon.
Everybody who was not named Paul gasped in astonishment as the saw a multitude of differently pattenerd Villvion fill the sky.
The group began to fly freely in the skies to their next destination.
Vivillon stayed behind to say goodbye to its new friends.
"See you around Vivillon." Ash waved goodbye.
"Take care" May waved goodbye.
"We'll miss you" Bonnie waved goodbye.
"Stay out of trouble" Clemont waved.
"Vivi-llon" cried the Scale Pokemon as it ascended to join the other Vivillon.
"And this is what happens when I get emotional. I hate it. I can't believe a said that" Paul was looking down as his hair covered his eyes, "well no point in dwelling on it now. I have one more thing to do."
"Iron Tail!"
Everybody turned to Paul as he called that out.
Raichu jumped from the top of the building and slammed an Iron Tail into Vivillon.
"Vivillon!" Everybody yelled in unison.
"Paul! What are you doing".
Paul ignored Ash and continued,
"Thunderbolt"
Raichu quickly blasted Vivillon out of the air.
"Don't let it get up" Paul called out relentlessly.
Raichu slammed an Iron Tail into the already fallen Vivillon.
Paul then proceeded to throw his Pokeball and capture Vivillon effortlessly.
Paul walked up to the Pokeball and pocketed it. He then began to walk past everybody, all who were stunned.
Ash gritted his teeth, but then he remembered what Paul said earlier,
"Over my dead body."
"I guess it could be worse."
