Ok guys, thanks for the reviews, now I might beat the fourth gym leader today, I'm not sure yet, I still haven't got there yet in the game (remember I am playing and writing at the same time) But if I do get the fourth gym badge, I will reveal what the major prize is for the difficult question. The answer to last chapter's question was Meteor falls, winner is SuperDaikenki, turns out there is only one moon stone in the entire game. And as for Nelipot, You will be remembered! Anyways, enough dilly dawdling, on with the chapter.
Disclaimer I don't own pokemon, if I did, Nelipot would still be alive! I also don't own any songs by Bob Marley!
It was morning, my team had fully recovered, and we were ready to head to the next town, but when I check my pokenav, I see that it's a long way from here. "Alright guys, I think it's time to find a new recruit for the team!" I was about to go but when I turn I see all my pokemon with their heads down, you can actually feel the depression in the air. "Look guys, I miss Nelipot too, but he wants us to continue on. Now no one can ever replace him, but that doesn't mean we can't welcome another friend to the team." That seem to cheer them up a bit, but Locsite wasn't the same. We exit the center, and head to route 117. I am scanning the area but all I see are other trainers. I was gonna go leave and try a different place when I suddenly start to hear someone singing, and by the sound of the voice, it was a male Jamaican. I follow the singing until I can start to make out the words.
"Don't worry, about a thing. Cause every little thing, it's gonna be alright." I finally find the source and I see a green little dinosaur like pokemon with a big plant on his back making music by hitting trees and the ground in a certain rhythm.
"Wow, I was not expecting to see an ivysaur. That's a pretty cool beat you were playing."
"Thanks man, I'm all about music. If there were no music, life would be dead."
"Interesting philosophy, anyways, I'm looking for someone to join my team, want to come."
"It depends, are you one of those traveling types?"
"You can say that." The ivysaur then uses vine whip to shake my hand.
"Then I'm, you can call me Raphael."
"Alright, welcome to the team!" My team was formed once again. "Okay then, time for a training montage! Raphael, can you give us a beat?"
"You know it!"
(Training montage, enter any music here!)
Once I felt that we were good, we head out to route 111. We met some trainers, had an interview, and fought an entire family, we were gonna continue but a desert was blocking our path. Having no other choice, we go to route 112. I ran into a Ponyta, I quickly capture him, name him Xenos, and send him to the pc box. All the while, I notice Locsite wasn't acting like himself, I could tell he really missed Nelipot, I will have to talk to him when we get into the next town. We make it to Mt. Chimney, and I see that there is a cable car. I wanted to ride on the thing but they were two guys wearing red costumes blocking entry. They remind me of team aqua but that must be a coincidence. Any ways, we enter the mountain, I'll be honest I wasn't expecting to encounter an unconscious pokemon. He had red scales, a tail with a flame tip, claws on both paws and feet, fangs, but the most noticeable feature was the giant x-shape scar on his chest.
"Hey are you okay?" I get no response, "Skipper, wake him up." He slaps him multiple times until the charmeleon finally wakes up.
"Huh, what's going on?"
"We were kinda wandering that."
"…I don't remember." I wasn't expecting that.
"Do you at least remember your name?"
"…Alistar, that's the only thing I can remember."
"Well how about you come with us, we might run into someone who might recognize you."
"Well it beats staying here doing nothing." I didn't catch him, he was just traveling with me till we find someone who recognizes him. Soon we make it out of the mountain and back on route 112.
We continued traveling until I notice some ashes falling from the sky, turns out we were next to a volcano. I saw some kids playing outside, in the ash. That's really dangerous, but I'm not judging them. While walking, I ran into a Raikou! I tried capturing it but it was poisoned from Lavender's skin, I was so close! Eventually we make it too Fallarbor Town, but just when we are getting close, trouble rears its ugly face.
Dash was barely walking, "Finally, we made it!" Locsite was looking pretty mad.
"How about you shut it, you've been complaining this whole trip!"
"Dude, what's your problem?!" Locsite suddenly grabs Dash, lifts him up in the air, and was about to finish him off with fire punch. I quickly react by returning Locsite to his pokeball. I was shocked by his outburst, and now I know it's time to talk.
"You guys head to the pokemon center, I need to have a word with Locsite. Al, you hang with them for now." My team plus Alistar leave, and I release Locsite from his pokeball. "Locsite, what was that?!"
"I was only kidding."
"No, you were about to attack a friend. This doesn't have to do with Nelipot death from an electabuzz, does it?" I saw Locsite cringe and knew instantly what was wrong. "Look, I know you miss him, but that doesn't mean you can take your anger out on Dash. He did nothing wrong. Will you control yourself?"
"…I…can't! Nelipot was my friend, every time I see Dash it reminds me what happened to Nelipot!"
"But it doesn't give you the right to attack our friend. I'm sorry but I am storing you in the pc box so that you have time to cool off. After I get the fourth gym badge I will get you, hopefully by then you have moved on." I return him to his pokeball before he could refuse. I walk to the pokemon center, explain to the team what had happened, and finally store Locsite in storage. Most of the team was reluctant at first but they soon agreed, but I think the one hurt the most is Dash, I just hope he can forgive Locsite. "Alright Al, remember anything?" He shakes his head no. "Maybe if we check the town near Mt. Chimney, we can restore you memory. You okay with traveling with us a little longer?"
"Well I do have to admit, you guys are a crazy bunch, I wouldn't mind it one bit."
"Good, but first let's rest for the night, well leave tomorrow morning."
We all rested, went to sleep, and then morning came. We leave the pokemon center, and make our way to route 113, but then I heard some people talking.
"Did you see what happened last night? There were a whole bunch of men wearing red costumes, and they had a couple scientists with them. I saw them going down to meteor falls, what do you think is going on?"
I didn't stay to listen to the rest of the conversation, "Change of plans guys, we are going to meteor falls!"
Raphael was the first to speak up, "Look mon, I think you need to slow down and explain what's going on." I look at the ivysaur, then the rest of my team.
"Guys, remember teams aqua, well those guys in the red just give me a bad feeling. I think we need to check things out at meteor falls. Are you with me?" I get approving nods from the team. "Alright then, let's go!"
We heard off to route 114, taking down any trainer, earning cash, and leveling up. Eventually we make it to meteor falls, the place was amazing, huge stalagmites everywhere, sedimentary rocks all around, but then I start to hear commotion up ahead. We silently go towards the source to see the same guys in red, with scientists who were currently tied up.
"Man this was so easy, I can't believe that no one notice us taking these scientist!"
"I know man, team magma rules!"
I was about to give the command to my pokemon to attack when I suddenly notice a delibird going through my bag. I notice that one, there was only one spike on his left ear, and two, he was stealing my stuff. Luckily I had a great ball in my pocket, I throw it hard and it hits the back of the theft's head, soon I heard the ding, which also let team magma know I was here. "Dang it, guess I better nickname this guy quick, um…Atsushi." With that I send the pokeball to my storage.
"Hey what are you doing here?!" Guess the meowth is out of the bag.
"Here to stop you!"
"Don't make us laugh, you're outnumbered!"
"Then stop me."
We were about to battle when suddenly team aqua comes, along with their leader, Archie.
"Team aqua, well it's too late, we already have the meteorite, all we need to do now is bring this sucker to Mt. Chimney."
With that they leave, team aqua was about to follow until Archie goes up to me, "So you are not with team magma." I was a little confused as to why he was speaking normal when last time he was talking nonsense. "You see, I only talk nonsense to members of team magma." Okay that makes sense…I think. "Anyways, team aqua must stop them, who knows what evil they will do at Mt. Chimney." Team aqua leaves, and we decide to go to Mt. Chimney. But before we leave I notice Skipper picking up something from the ground. It look like a rock, or a stone, but it was different.
"What do you got there?"
"What? Nothing, we better get going!" He was clearly nervous, but I will ask him about it later.
Shrugging, we leave Meteor falls, after another long trek, we finally arrive at Mr. Chimney. We take the cable car up, and to my surprise, I see a battlefield going on. Everywhere, team magma and team aqua are fighting each other. That's when Archie notices me, he was currently taking on three team magma, "TM, quick, stop the leader, he is going to use the meteor to make the volcano erupt!" Okay, I'm not sure if he is crazy, but the risk was too high. After fighting off some magma grunts, we finally make it to this guy with a red suit, and red hair.
"So you are the leader of team Magma!"
"Yes I am Maxie, leader of team Magma. And you are the famous TM I heard so much about."
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb! There were rumors that someone had captured Groudon, and I know it's you! So give him to me and I will let you live!"
"Tough luck old man, I don't have him. I released him long ago!"
"Then you will pay with your life!"
He sends out Myteyana, and I counter with C-Run. Before she could attack, the dark type pokemon delivers a hard bite attack. This guy's pokemon was fast! C-Run tried to counter but Myteyana was too fast. I was about to switch C-Run out when suddenly she is gone in a flash. The next thing I see is the dark type frozen solid, with C-Run standing behind him.
"And that's what you get for messing with an Italian!"
"That was amazing, when did you learn Agility?"
"Just now, but I don't think I could take any more."
"Don't worry, Dash you're up!"
"Finally some action." Maxie then sends out a zubat, and I see Dash face palm into the ground, "This is just embarrassing." He quickly beats the pokemon with thunder punch. "Come on, give me a real challenge!"
"Your pokemon are sure strong, guess it's time to show you real power!" Maxie then sends out a huge camel like pokemon, it had little volcanoes coming from the back.
Dash was in trouble, no way can he beat a camerupt! But before I could call back Dash, the pokemon delivers a magnitude attack. I watch as time seem to slow down, with the attack getting closer and closer to Dash. Just when I thought it was over, Skipper jumps of Dash and takes on the full force of the attack. "Come on Dash, you are my rival, can't have you dying on me yet!" He then turns around, as if the attack didn't even faze him. "You just made a big mistake!" He takes in a deep breath, and lets out a powerful water gun attack, it was as if it were hydro pump, for the attack sent the lava pokemon flying high into the air, then finally the camerupt crashes on the ground.
Maxie returns his pokemon, "Don't think this is over, we will meet again!" With that he leaves, and Archie himself comes to confront me.
"Not bad kid, but who side are you on?" I was about to tell him neither, but he interrupts me, "It doesn't matter, as long as we stop team magma. Now it's time for me to go." He then leaves.
"Man this day has been full of random events. But now that that's over, let's go and beat the fourth gym leader!"
We make our way down the mountain path, beating up a few trainers, earning some cash, catching a slowking I name Malchior, but it was strange when I saw a magma grunt just standing in front of a wall. I ignore him, we finally get off the mountain, and walk right into Lavaridge town.

I'm gonna stop there, there was a lot of walking in this chapter, it was boring. But there are some things that need to be covered. First off, Locsite didn't die, but I put him in the box for a reason. It has to do with Alistar the charmeleon, if some of you have paid attention to other author's pokemon stories, or if you have read my other story "Calm before the storm" then you know who Alistar is. Also one of you may recognize who Atsushi is. Now back to Locsite, this is now your choice, do you want Locsite on the team, or not? This is not a pokemon trivia question, this is just your opinion. Now unfortunately I didn't get the chance to fight the gym leader, so that means you will have to wait next chapter to find out what the prize is for the upcoming major question. Also, there will be no more pokemon trivia questions until after the main difficult one. Sorry. But oh well. Review if you want to. See ya next time!
