Alright guys, turns out a lot of people had answer, but a lot of them were wrong. Maybe I made the question a little too hard, but in the end, I have my winner. The answer was Sean Schemmel, he was in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, and he played lucario himself. The winner is Ghost Phoenix P.G, so congrats man. Also, at the end of the last chapter I asked what character he voiced in dragon ball z, and only one had answered correctly, congratulations The Perfect Replica. And for all those who participated in the question, I have a little prize for you too. But that will be revealed at the end of this chapter. On with the story!
Disclaimer I don't own pokemon.
Yesterday was sure epic. After such a long time, I finally beat my dad, but I'm not done yet. I still have to beat the remaining gym leaders, so I still have a long way to go. After having a little party yesterday, we all got a good rest. Once it was morning, I pack things, and me and my pokemon head out from Petalburg town. We had a little walking to do, turns out we need to go to Mauville city, then east to head to the next gym leader, it's a good thing Skipper knows surf now. Eventually we got there, but to my displeasure, Wattson was also there. He notices me and stops me from continuing my journey.
"Waahahahaaaha! Whahaha! Wha?" This guy was laughing again, but this time he sounded like he needs help.
"Sorry but I can't understand you!"
"I can help!"
I turn to see a guy riding a pokemon with long legs, and three heads! How did he even hear our conversation from far away while riding a dodrio?! Just then the triple bird pokemon trips on something and sends the guy flying through the air, crashing on the ground moments later, only a few inches from where I was standing. I help the guy up and notice he was six foot tall, wearing dark blue jeans, a plain black shirt, had short red brown hair, had sport sunglasses on, and was chewing gum.
"And you are?"
"Dakota, I'm here visiting from Kanto, I'm looking for my second cousin. His name is Wally, you heard of him? Pickles!"
"…By any chance do you use battle items?"
"Nope, I'm just like that."
"…Anyways, yes I know Wally, last time I saw him I beat his male Ralts. It's pretty funny when you think about it. You can call me TM."
"He has a male Ralts?! He just earned himself another prank!"
"Wait, you said you can help, how?"
"Oh I can understand laughter." He then looks at Wattson, he starts laughing again. "Okay this is what I got, turns out there is an underground city, New Mauville, but something went wrong. He was asking you if you can go there and turn off the generator."
"And you got all that from him laughing?" If he isn't on battle items, then I don't know what to think.
"Yup, he says it's on route 110, all we have to do is surf to the little island in the center and we are good."
"Alright thanks for the help Dakota." I start heading to route 110 but then I notice Dakota following me. "Can I help you?"
"Well I'm going there to help you."
"Why do you want to come?"
"Well I was going to go visit Wally but I think this will be more interesting."
"Um…okay?" Just then the dodrio from before catches up to us, and boy did the pokemon look angry.
"Dakota, why did you leave us back there?! Yeah, you have any idea how long it took us to find you! Guys go easy on him, okay." All the three heads were talking at once, it was kinda confusing, and by the sound I their voices I could tell the dodrio was female and African.
"Sorry, I kinda forgot. You can't blame a guy who just learns how to fly, right?" He starts laughing but I am left confused.
"Hold on, you can understand your pokemon?!"
"Well duh, kinda have to thank my dad for that. Turns out that a professor from here had given my dad some stuff to test on. What my dad didn't tell me was that I could've killed me, but in the end I'm able to understand pokemon now."
Professor Birch really needs to stop with this pokemon experiment thing. Well at least I'm not the only one. "Well if you're coming with me, we may as well introduce each other's pokemon to one another."
"Cool, gotta warn you though, I have pretty awesome pokemon."
With that he lets out all his pokemon, a charizard, a nidoqueen, a ninetails, and a zapdos. There was an awkward silence between my pokemon and his.
My magmar and his charizard are glaring at each other, at first I thought they were going to fight, but then they just nod at each other. Don't know what was that about but my attention was drawn to my articuno and his zapdos.
At first they are eying each other, but then they start hugging each other, "Zapdos, it's so good to see you again."
"I miss you too, being without my sister has been tiresome." Whoa, I wasn't expecting Dakota to have a female Zapdos that is British, and also related to C-Run.
They started chatting with each other, I Lavender speaking Russian with the ninetails, who was also female, "It's good to see another comrade."
"Same here, I see you found yourself a mate." A Russian ninetails, you don't see that every day.
"How did you know?"
"We are Russians, we tend to know things."
I notice Skipper was having a conversation with the other nidoqueen, they were both speaking French. But then I notice that Dakota only had five pokemon out.
"You only have five pokemon?"
"Nope."
I was waiting for him to show me but I guess he didn't want to. We were about to enter the water and use surf, but then Raphael taps me on the shoulder with vine whip.
"Hey TM, I want to stay in storage for a bit."
"Why, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, it's just that Skipper and Lavender asked if I could leave the team for a bit."
"Hold on, Skipper, Lavender, why do you want Raphael to go to storage?" I saw that they were both nervous, like they were hiding something, but then they look at each other and give a nod of confirmation. Lavender then pulls an egg from behind her back, everyone's jaw drops open, as we are all shocked at what we just saw. "W-when did this happen?!"
"When we went to the day care center, Lavender wanted to check it out, and the next thing we knew, we have an egg. So you kinda see why we asked Raphael to go to the storage. That way we can take care of our egg."
Dakota is looking at the egg very closely, "How do you think pokemon eggs taste like?" We all look at him, but then he starts to laugh, "I'm only kidding."
"…Anyways, congrats man." I send Raphael into storage, and once things are set, me and Dakota get on our own pokemon and use surf to get to the secret entrance. We find a cave off to the side, enter the secret entrance, but see that there is not a lot of room for both our pokemon, so we decide that we each keep a pokemon out, my articuno and his Zapdos. Once inside we see it's full of high-tech gear. We make our way through and run into an Alakazam, after a brief battle, I manage to capture the psychic type. We continue forward, battling other random pokemon, until we find a huge generator.
"Guess that's the generator Wattson wants us to turn off. So, TM, any ideas on how to do that?"
"Wattson didn't tell you how?!"
"Sorry, I had a slight cold, so I kinda sneezed when he was laughing."
I was about to face palm when suddenly a whole bunch of voltorbs and electrodes enter the room. They all look angry and were starting to glow. "Not good, they are about to self-destruct!"
"No problem, I got this!" He then takes out his sixed pokeball and releases the pokemon.
The moment he does that, me and Dakota are being squished between the wall and this giant green skin. I couldn't see anything except the multiple explosions coming from the voltorbs and the electrodes.
The green giant starts to speak, "Really Dakota, you had to let me out here, it's already cramped in that small ball you put me in, this isn't any better! And what is up with all the flashing works."
"Sorry, I needed your help, we were in a tight squeeze." I would've whacked him for the pun, but I couldn't move at the moment.
"Well you're just lucky that I'm awesome like that!"
"Hey Dakota, maybe it's time to return your pokemon."
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." With that he returns the giant green pokemon, releasing us from our tight spot, I'm going to be soar in the morning.
"So what exactly was that pokemon?"
"Oh, just a friend with a big ego."
Guess he wasn't going to tell me, oh well, I'll find out later. But for some reason I have seen that pokemon before, I don't know where, but I know I seen that pokemon before. Luckily, the force of the explosion was able to shut down the generator. "Well that's one way to turn it off, let's get out of here." After making our way out of the under area, we make it outside the secret entrance, use surf to get off the little island, and make it to maville city, where Wattson was waiting for us. "Alright, we turned off the generator, just like you asked us too."
"Whahahahahahha!" I don't think I will ever get use to that laughter.
"He says…ACHOO!"
"Achoo?"
"Sorry, it's that cold, any one has a tissue?" Luckily, his zapdos did. "Thanks, like I was saying, he said thanks."
"All right, I guess this is where we go our separate ways."
"What, and miss out all the fun?! I mean sure I could go to my cuz and annoy him, but I think it would be more fun to travel with you for a bit longer."
Great, I wasn't planning on having a traveling partner, but at least it won't be for long. We said our goodbyes to Wattson, who just kept on laughing, made sure to resupply at the store, we make our way to route 118 and use surf to continue my pokemon journey.
I'm gonna stop there guys, man I should really type much faster. Sorry for the wait, little brother had a book project to do, and he likes to take his time on the computer! Now for a recap, so Skipper and Lavender have an egg. I was just curious if it would work, and it did, so I'm just keeping the egg until it hatches, and who knows, the egg might involve a prize for one of the questions. Anyways, I decided since I have my team full, that the rewards won't be getting to nickname my pokemon anymore, but you get to have a cameo appearance. And since The Perfect Replica won the bonus question yesterday (What character did the voice actor do in Dragon Ball Z), he also gets to have a cameo appearance tomorrow. Oh and before I forget, like I said, part of the prize for the difficult question is me sponsoring the stories of your choice.
