An Unexpected Encounter

Hello thanks for all the review guys, the answer for last chapter's question was that groudon can learn aerial ace, while Kyrogre can learn brick break. The winners were KingChespin and Ghost phoenix P.G. So congratulations, the prizes were (1) Have a pokemon named after you, and (2) Nickname the next pokemon. And boy will this chapter be interesting, I still can't believe that I made it out alive after today. Anyways, enough chit chat, on with the story.

I don't own pokemon, if I did I would outlaw battle items.

Route 104, not bad. There was a beach, but now wasn't the time for playing. It was time for getting my next pokemon. The team start to search but for some reason we couldn't find any pokemon, and what's worse was that the sun kept on getting hotter and hotter. I notice Nelipot looking a bit nervous.

"Hey, something wrong?"

"I'm not sure, I feel something bad is going to happen."

"What could possible go wrong?" I regret saying those words, for as soon as I said them, we feel huge stomps, ones that shook the very ground. I couldn't believe my eyes at what I saw, it was a huge red pokemon, with spikes coming out from the sides, and it had markings that occasional glow blow. "What is that?!"

The beast notices us, and lets out a huge roar, "You would dare trespass on my territory, Groudon, lord of all the lands?! You will suffer my wrath!" I notice his voice was very deep, as if two mountains were grinding against each other. Groudon then lifts up a foot to squash us, and seeing how I need to react fast, I only did the most logical thing. I grab a pokeball and throw it at the thing. To my surprise, the ball shook three times, than let out the ding to signify that I caught the pokemon. None of us knew what to say, until Nelipot broke the silence.

"You…just captured Groudon. That was…amazing!"

"I thought we were gonna die! Well, now it's time to meet our new friend." Before either of my pokemon could stop me, I release Groudon, and he was looking pretty mad. "Alright, from now on, your name is KingC."

"Let me ask you first, did you capture me with a master ball?"

"Master what?"

"A Master Ball!"

"No, all I had were pokeballs." To my surprise, KingC actually calms down, and sits on the ground, shaking most of the land.

"Finally, someone who gets it."

"Um…what are you talking about?"

"For some reason, everyone is able to get their hands on a master ball which allows them to capture any pokemon. It's so annoying having to wait to battle someone you think is worthy enough to challenge, just for them to use a stinking master ball."

"That kinda seems like the short and easy way. I prefer things to be a challenge. Anyways welcome to the team." At that remark, KingC gets angry again and has his entire face against my little body.

"And what makes you think I would help you in any way?" I was holding my breath, this guy needs major breath mints.

"How about this, if you help me take on the pokemon league, I promise to release you. Deal?" I hold out my hand, waiting to see if he would agree or eat me right then and there. After pondering his thoughts, he finally puts out a claw, which I grab and we shake.

"Fine, but you better keep your end of your deal, or else."

"Alright then, time for some grinding."

(Grind time)

After doing our little training, it was time to move out. Our next destination was Petalburg forest, I also decide that it would be best if KingC stays in his pokeball. He would end up causing deforestation faster than the oil companies. Once there, I saw there were many trees, but what do expect from a forest? We were making good progress when suddenly.

"You dare trespass on my territory?" I couldn't find the source of the noise, but it almost sounded like…a child.

"This better not be another giant pokemon, I don't think we could survive another encounter."

"Please, bring them all, I will take each one down." Locsite was starting to heat up again. I was about to cool him down when I notice the bushes moving. We got closer and closer when suddenly a yellow blur jumps out, and attacks us, knocking all of us down. When I look up, I see a small yellow pokemon with black stripes, and what look like plugs on his head.

"Oh, it's just an elekid."

"Just and elekid?! I am the world's strongest elekid!"

"Yeah, sure you are, Nelipot, you want to take this one?"

"With pleasure." But before he could even the attack, the elekid moves fast away.

"What's wrong, can't hit me? I'm over here, no here." As he is saying this he keeps on moving from one spot to another. This was getting annoying and I was considering letting out KingC, when I suddenly had an idea. I stick out my foot, and the elekid ends up tripping over it and runs smack into a tree. With that I take my chance and throw a pokeball. But the moment he's in, he breaks out. "Ha, you have to do better than that-" I throw another pokeball at him, same thing happens again. "Okay, the first time was funny, but now I will show you the awesome power of my-" I throw another one again, and he breaks out of it again. "Stop that!"

I only had one more pokeball, and there was no way I was letting this guy go. So I throw it as hard as I can, and it hits him between the eyes. Once he was inside the ball starts to shake once, twice, three times…but then I saw it was about to burst. Before that could happen, I grab the thing and try to keep it close, but it was difficult. "Locsite, quickly, get the duck tape from my bag!" I watch as he reaches inside my bag and finally pulls out the duck tape. Quickly I pull of a long strip and start wrapping the pokeball. After a minute I finally hear the ding. "Jeez, why is it that a groudon is easy to catch but this speedy little guy takes all my pokeballs to catch? Oh well, at least he was caught. I think I will call him Dash." As I said this, I let Dash out of his pokeball.

"Dash? Why would you call me that?"

"Well I saw that you were dashing around the place, making it hard to hit you. So I thought it was suitable."

"Dash…I like it."

"Welcome to the team."

"Well now that I'm here, no one will ever defeat us, for I'm the best!" He wasn't such a bad pokemon, if you could ignore his big ego, he was actually kinda funny.

"Man, hope I don't have any more weird encounters." But turns out it wasn't my lucky day, for as we were walking through the forest I stranger suddenly pops out from the woods.

"Have you seen any Shroomish, I just loooooove them!" I wander if he was taking battle items, like my dad.

"Sorry, but no. All I seen so far were an Absol, a electabuzz, a medicham, a walrien, a sceptile, a meganium, a groudon, a-"

"D-did you say groudon?"

"Yeah, why?"

"…You saw a groudon…and not a single Shroomish?! What's wrong with you?!" Clearly this guy was nuts, I was gonna back away slowly when suddenly, another stranger pops out. This guy was wearing blue clothes, a blue bandana, and he was looking for trouble.

"Man I was chasing this guy forever, but finally he stops. Now give me the Devon goods." Great, another guy who wants battle items. Wait a minute, low pathetic grunt, demanding, probably has a weak pokemon.

"You must be Team Rocket! Both the theft and the stranger fall on the ground.

"I am not, I am Team aqua! I'm gonna make you pay." He releases a poocheyana, I was gonna send out either Locsite or Nelipot, but then Dash rushes in and begins attacking.

"Don't worry, I got this one." At first Dash was winning, delivering fast blows, but then the poocheyana used sand attack, Dash couldn't see anything, and that's when his opponent took his chance. He started tackling Dash, never stopping, he tried to fight back but those sand attacks render his vision useless. I saw that the poocheyana was about to deliver the final blow, I was gonna stop it but suddenly one of my pokeballs opens and KingC comes out.

"Y-you have a groudon?! Forget that, I'm outta here." He returns his pokemon and makes a run for it. Dash was looking up to the giant pokemon.

"You saved me?"

"Yeah, next time don't rush into battle without a plan, or else you are gonna get yourself killed!" With that I return KingC back to his pokeball, but also notice new admiration coming from Dash's eyes. The stranger then gets my attention again.

"Thanks for scaring that hoodlum away. I would've preferred a Shroomish, but this is okay…bye." He just jumps into the woods and I didn't see him again.

"I think we spend enough time here in the forest. Let's get going to the next area." Everyone agrees, along the way we do some training. But eventually we make it out of the forest. Up ahead I see a town, and with a new town, maybe another Gym. With that, we make our way towards our next destination.

Locsite: Magmar, level 14, brave, male, knows ember, smog, leer, and fire punch.

Nelipot: Vigoroth, level 12, rash, male, knows scratch, focus energy, encore, and uproar.

KingC: Groudon, level 10, Bold, Gender is unknown (but I'm going with male), knows Mud shot and scary face.

Dash: Elekid, level 10, Hardy, male, knows Quick Attack, leer, and thunder punch.

I'm gonna stop it right there, okay. So yeah, groudon, who would've guessed. I was not expecting to catch it on my first try. But then again, the last time I played emerald (that was a long time ago) I was able to catch Groudon…with a dive ball! Now the elekid, he took me all my pokeballs to capture. Yup, simple pokemon logic. The thing about master ball, I never really did like them, I find it kinda boring to use the easy way out. What's your opinion on the master ball? About the battle, turns out, I wasn't really paying attention to what was happening in the battle. When I saw what was happening, I switched out immediately, I didn't really care which one I sent out, I just didn't want anyone on my team to die. So KingC comes to save the day. Next chapter I get to take on my first gym battle. With a groudon, I think this will be easy. Anyways, on with the question!

How many kinds of pokeballs are out there?

Since Ghost Phoenix P.G and KingChespin got the question correct last chapter, you guys are not allowed to answer this one. Again, once you see my review, that means I have a winner. Good luck. And don't forget to review.
