We see our hero Dan relaxing on Route 3 with his partner Jordan on his shoulder and his other partner Luke by his side. The purple haired boy sat underneath a tree hoping that the shade would cool him off from the intense heat of the sun.
The rookie trainer took off his cap from his head and started to fan his face with the hat. Jordan stretched his face closer to the cap to get a better breeze and ended up falling face first into the dirt ground. Dan chuckled and rolled his eyes, his vision took sight of his Riolu beside him sitting down in a position where his legs were crossed, his eyes were closed and his hands were resting on his thighs.
Dan rolled his eyes and then looked to the sky where not a single cloud was spotted. The purple haired boy groaned and said "Arceus! How hot could it get?" Jordan was lying on the grass and then murmured his name and Luke was just sitting in the same position he was last seen in.
The rookie slapped the cap on back on his head as he checked his pokedex for the time. The machine read 8:24am; Dan sighed and then pulled out a small rectangular box that was given to him by his uncle as he was leaving Pewter City. Dan opened it and then there lay a small gleaming item that shone in the sunlight. The rookie plucked it from the case and then held it up in the air and smiled remembering yesterday's events, the morning training, the gym battle, the victory and his new eccentric friend Connor.
Dan remembered the weird trainer whose eyes kept changing color. The guy was really nice and kind but weird in his own ways. The rookie remembered the surprising power of the older trainer demonstrated in the battle with the pink haired girl yesterday and during their one on one battle. The older trainer showed his Pokemon's power and prowess in terms of power, endurance and strategy. He then breathed deeply and returned the badge to its case and put it back in his bag.
The rookie stood up and stretched his back. Dan then thought that it would be a good training session for his Pokemon under the extreme heat; it would increase their endurance and their resistance to heat. He looked at his Pokemon who were still relaxing under the tree and said "Alright guys, let's get some training done."
Jordan shot up from his position and his face had a surprised expression and Luke on the other hand opened one of his eyes and sighed. Dan clapped his hands and said "Let's go guys, come on." Jordan reluctantly got up and Luke telepathically said "Dan, it's very hot and were going to train?"
Dan put a hand to his chin and said "Yeah, it is pretty hot, maybe we should just wait for it to cool down…" Jordan sighed in relief and lay down once again in the shade with his eyes closed. The rookie then continued "But then again, this could be a good opportunity for training. " One of Jordan's eyes opened and his face had an annoyed expression and Luke just chuckled.
The purple haired boy put a fist in his palm and said "I've decided. We're going to train today in this intense heat." Jordan groaned and put his hands to his face while Luke just slowly stood up and stretched his legs.
Dan picked up his bag and then said "Let's go!" He walked out of the shade with his Pokemon on his tail. After several minutes of walking, they had reached a clearing and Dan threw two pokeballs in the air and two Pokemon came out.
One Pokemon was blue in color and enthusiastically said its name. The other Pokemon appeared in the air and then gave a loud screech; its eyes were alert as if expecting a battle. Dan gestured for them to make a line and said "So guys, as you can see today, it's pretty hot so I guessed it would be a good time for some training" Jordan, Matt and Emil groaned while Luke just looked at Dan with an intent look in his eyes.
Dan raised a brow and said "Come on guys, if we want to get stronger, we have to train more am I right?" Emil's eyes perked up at the phrase "get stronger" and he raised a wing to show his approval. Dan chuckled and said "Okay, we're going to work with your weaknesses so Jordan, you get paired with Matt and Emil you get paired with Luke."
The mouse Pokemon nodded and scurried away to a distance with Matt behind him and Emil approached Luke who was standing quietly with eyes closed and arms closed. Emil poked Luke and then the trainer and the flying type noticed that the fighting type had once again fallen asleep.
The rookie shook the fighting type by the arms and said "Luke, next time I don't want to see you falling asleep during training." Luke nodded and approached Emil who was standing tall beside Dan.
After several minutes, Dan saw the progress and combat on the two pairs. Dan watched Jordan fire a Thunderbolt towards Matt who easily dodged the attack. Matt slapped some dirt towards Jordan and Dan recognized the move as Mud Slap. Jordan took the super effective attack and then staggered a few steps back. The mouse wiped the dirt out of his eyes and grinned towards Matt and then ran towards him with Iron Tail ready. Matt attempted to dodge the attack but was quickly at his side by the steel type attack. Dan winced as Matt flew a few feet back and quickly recovered, Jordan started sprinting towards Matt with electricity surrounding his body. Matt closed his eyes and then surrounded himself with a coat of water and then flew towards the Pichu's Volt Tackle. Dan's eyes widened as Matt's new attack collided against Pichu's Volt Tackle. The two attacks caused and explosion and then after the smoke cleared, Matt was on the ground while Jordan was standing over him. Dan smiled as he approached the two, Jordan helped Matt up and then Dan said "Nice job guys, good work on learning Aqua Jet Matt. Keep up the good work guys." He said as he walked away from them, Jordan nodded towards Matt as they started to go at it again.
The rookie strolled over to the other pair and watched as they sparred. Luke fired an Aura Sphere towards Emil who dodged it by zooming to the right while in the air. Emil then used Aerial Ace while approaching Luke; the Riolu then leapt of over the attack and landed on Emil's back. The flying type did several rotations to shake the fighting type off but Luke held his grip and used Force Palm on the flying type's back. The Braviary winced in pain and crashed to the ground hoping to take Luke with him but the nimble fighting type leapt of the flying types back before crashing to the ground. Luke stood tall as Emil recovered and slowly stood up, Luke ran towards Emil with great agility and then, to Dan's surprise, set his foot ablaze, leapt into the air as the Braviary attempted to fly and smashed the flaming foot on Emil's stomach making him fall to the ground. Luke helped his teammate up and then Dan approached them and said "Nice job Luke, I can't believe you learned Blaze Kick. Keep up the good work guys." The two Pokemon nodded and started to spar once more.
Dan stood under the blazing sun as his Pokemon trained. He thought "They're working pretty hard; I should get some apples so I can give it to them during the break." His eyes moved into the distance and saw the apple tree that he saw earlier. He grabbed his bag and walked towards the fruit bearing tree.
As soon as he reached the base of the tree he put his bag on his back and started to climb the tree, he already knew how to do this since his mother taught him how to do it. Dan scaled the tree and picked the apples that was in his arms reach and put them in his bag. Several minutes passed as he kept picking apples for his Pokemon, he looked up as he was holding onto one branch and wiped the sweat off his face. He saw that near the top there was a really large apple and he slowly climbed the tree hoping to get it. As soon as he reached the top, he grabbed the apple, suddenly a Spearow landed in front of him as he grabbed the apple. Dan gulped because Spearows were VERY violent and VERY territorial. He put the apple down and said "Okay, I'm just putting the apple down so I can leave and...ARGH!" The Spearow had started attacking him and pecking at his face and body. The rookie waved his hands hoping to shoo the flying type away but he accidentally let go of his grip on the branch and said "Oh boy…" Dan fell down the tall tree and crashed onto the ground with a loud BAM. He arched his back, groaned and grits his teeth in pain and his eyes were getting heavy, he looked into the distance and saw Luke running towards him with Jordan. He closed his eyes and drifted into unconsciousness.
SCENE CHANGE
Dan opened his eyes and saw that he was lying under a tree and camp was all set up. He groaned and slowly sat up from the ground. He felt his body and an intense pain shot up from his back causing him to lie back down. The rookie looked towards the campfire and saw a figure turned around and fixing something. The purple haired boy slowly and more carefully sat up from his position, he rubbed his eyes and saw that the sun had gone down and the moon and starts were now seen on the sky. He looked at his hands and saw a weird symbol in his right palm; the rookie recognized the symbol as the symbol for aura as he saw in the books, it was also know for being the symbol of infinity (∞). The mark started to glow a shade of blue, as the symbol glowed, pain arose from his entire body making him groan and cry out in pain.
The purple haired boy lay back down and was approached by a figure, the closer the figure got, the more his blurry vision had focused and he saw that the figure was a girl around his age and he said "What happened?" The girl's amethyst eyes widened and said "You're finally awake! I was worried that you wouldn't wake up, your Pokemon found me and they asked for help when you got into trouble. Do you remember what happened?"
The rookie scratched the back of his head and said "The last thing I remembered was that I was picking some apples from a tree and then a Spearow attacked me and I fell off the tree." The girl brushed her long chestnut hair and said "That's it? Then why are you sunburned?" Dan felt his body and his skin was inflamed with the feeling of burns. He shook his head and said "I have no idea how that happened, how about my Pokemon? How are they?" The girl looked to the distance and said "You shouldn't be worrying about them; they're around here somewhere with my Pokemon. You know your injuries were pretty serious, broken ribs, bruised body, internal bleeding and many more, I only knew first aid but I'm glad that you pulled through but when you get to the next town, you better get yourself checked up in the Pokemon Center alright." Dan nodded and then he said "I never did get your name. My name is Dan by the way." The girl smiled at him and said "My names Liz, Elizabeth Carter. Now get some rest Dan."
Off into the distance, Dan's Pokemon were sitting on the ground with three unknown Pokemon. Luke was sitting on the ground with Jordan and a Squirtle beside him while Emil and Matt were with an Eevee and a Pidgeotto.
The fighting type munched on an apple and recalled what had happened earlier today.
FLASHBACK
POKESPEECH TRANSLATOR: ON
Luke was busy practicing his new moveswith Emil which was Blaze Kick. He leapt and tried to deliver another kick to the flying type but it nimbly dodged once more. Luke put his hand on his knees and said "Hey Emil, let's take a break alright?" The flying type landed beside him and said "Sure, Luke but you better not be sleeping on me." The fighting type chuckled and nodded.
The pair strolled towards Matt and Jordan who were in a middle of a battle. Matt rushed towards Jordan with an Aqua Jet and hit the electric type directly and pushing him back with some damage. Jordan stood up and said "Great hit Matt, not it's my turn." Jordan fired a jolt of electricity towards Matt who quickly dodged the attack. Matt smirked and said "Need to do better than that Jordan." Jordan grinned and said "You want better, you got it." The electric type ran towards Matt with a Volt Tackle and then as Matt was preparing to dodge, Jordan switched his attack into Iron Tail and hit Matt on the face rendering him unable to battle.
Jordan walked over to Matt and helped him up. The water type sarcastically said "Maybe I shouldn't have asked for better." Jordan laughed and said "Yeah you shouldn't have."
The electric type saw the other pair walking towards them and said "Hey guys! What's up?" Emil waved his wing and said "We just fished up another round and we were going to have a break." Matt nodded and said "Maybe we should have a break too? What do you think Jordan?" The electric type nodded and said "Yeah, I guess we should. Anyone want to help me find Dan? He disappeared a while ago." All three nodded and then Luke said "I saw him go by that direction." He said pointing towards a group of trees.
The four slowly walked towards there while talking. Jordan then said "So guys, any new moves? Matt here learned Aqua Jet and boy it can hit." Emil stretched his wings and said "Luke over here learned Blaze Kick while I picked up Double Team." Jordan raised his fist and said "Cool! I learned Double Team too!"
As they were approaching the trees Matt said "Isn't that Dan?" he said pointing towards the peak of a tall tree. Jordan nodded and said "Yeah it is him, and it looks like he's being attacked by a Spearow." Emil burst into the sky and said "Let's go before something happens!"
The four rushed towards the tree but they all looked in horror as Dan fell to the ground with a loud thud. Luke, Jordan and Matt ran beside Dan while Emil scared off the angry Spearow with an Aerial Ace attack. Luke felt Dan's chest and said "This is bad." Jordan looked at him and said "What's wrong with him? Will he be alright?" Luke shook his head and said "He won't be unless we find some help, Emil and Matt, try to find anyone who can help Dan. I'll try to see what I can do." The two nodded and Matt got on top of Emil as they flew away.
Jordan looked at Luke who was feeling Dan's body. Dan was breathing but barely and he Luke said "Jordan, this is not good. His Aura is fading fast and if I don't do anything soon he'll die." Jordan's eyes widened and he put his hands to his face and said "THEN DO SOMETHING!" Luke nodded and said "This might help but it might have some after effects." Jordan frantically shouted "WHO CARES SAVE OUR TRAINER!" Luke sighed and put his both hands into Dan's right palm and focused his Aura into the dying human. A bright red light emitted from Dan's palm and it slowly died down.
Luke fell to the ground breathing heavily and exhausted. Jordan looked at Dan whose unsteady raspy breathing returned to normal and his tensed muscles relaxed. Jordan looked at Luke and said "What happened Luke?"
The fighting type slowly sat up and breathlessly said "His Aura was dropping fast so I gave him some of mine and it took a lot out of me but don't worry he'll be fine now." Jordan sighed in relief and said "But what's that?" pointing at Dan's palm. Luke shakily stood up and said "That's the symbol of my Aura, it means infinite." Jordan hopped over to Luke and said "You shouldn't strain yourself Luke." Luke shook him off and said "We've got a get Dan out of this heat, it cant be good for him in his condition."
The two looked at Dan who was already starting to get sunburned from the scorching heat. Jordan face palmed and said "Are you serious? We can't lift him!" Luke went to Dan's leg and said "We have to try." Jordan rolled his eyes and went to the same leg as the two of them started to pull.
After two hours of pulling Dan by the leg to some shade, the sun had yet to go down. Luke and Jordan had settled Dan under tree and had gathered his scattered things. The rookie trainer was still unconscious and Luke and Jordan were sitting under the tree while waiting for their other two teammates to come back with help.
After one more hour, at a distance Jordan saw Emil flying towards them at a distance. The little mouse hopped up and said "Luke! It's Emil!" Jordan turned his eye and saw that the fighting type had once again fallen asleep while leaning on the tree. Jordan shocked Luke causing him to wake up and he said "Stay awake will ya?" Luke gave a nod as the Braviary landed in front of them. Jordan hopped forward and said "Where's Matt?" The flying type pointed off into the distance and said "He's leading the nice lady who will help us here."
Off at a distance, Jordan saw Matt running in this direction with a girl with long brown hair who had a Squirtle running by her side. Soon enough they reached the group and then the girl said "Oh my, is this the one that you told me about?" Matt nodded and the girl said "He doesn't look to good but I'll try my best."
FLASHBACK END
Jordan looked at the Squirtle and said "Thanks a lot for convincing your trainer to help us." The Squirtle nodded and said "No worries compadre. I'm glad he's fine too." Jordan nodded and looked towards Matt and Emil who were with Eevee and Pidgeotto.
Luke stretched his back and said "It's getting late guys, we should get to bed." All the others nodded and walked to their trainers. As Luke was about to go to bed, he walked up to the sleeping Dan and said "Rest well my friend."
TIMESKIP
The next day, Dan woke up feeling much better than last night. He stood up from the sleeping bag, slapped his cap on his messy haired head and pulled out his pokedex from his bag and checked the time which was 7:30am. He fixed his things and then saw that Elizabeth was cooking some breakfast, she was wearing a purple and white striped shirt that matched her eyes with a denim jacket and a denim skirt, her long chestnut hair was tied into a ponytail that fell all the way down to her hips, she was wearing long violet socks that matched her shirt and purple boots. The rookie breathed in the aroma of the food and sighed because of the heavenly smell. The brunette saw the purple haired boy standing at a distance and said "Good morning Dan, come over here it's almost time for breakfast." The purple haired boy walked over and sat on the ground and said "Morning too, but where are my Pokemon?"
Elizabeth pointed at his belt and said "They went back in their pokeballs when they wanted to go to sleep last night, so did mine but all except two wanted to sleep in their ball." Dan raised a brow and said "All but two? Who was it?" Elizabeth pointed at a tree several feet away and said "It was a red Pokemon and an adorable little Pichu. They decided to sleep there. Why don't you call them for breakfast?" The rookie nodded and said "Sure Elizabeth, be right back." The girl frowned and said "It's not Elizabeth, it's just Liz alright?" Dan laughed nervously as he was walking away and said "Sure, I'll be right back."
Dan walked towards the tree and he saw that Luke was behind the tree meditating and Jordan was sitting on the grassy ground. Dan walked over and said "Hey guys!" Luke stood up and smiled at him while Dan heard and unfamiliar voice said "Dan you're alright!" The rookie's eyes widened and fell on his bottom, this caught Liz's attention and she said "You alright?" Dan called out "Yeah I am, I'll be right there!"
The rookie looked at his Pokemon dumbfounded and said "What was that?" He looked at Jordan and then he said in the unknown voice "What's he talking about?" The purple haired boy stared at Jordan while pointing and said "That was you?" Jordan's eyes widened and said "You can understand me?" he said while pointing at himself.
Both looked at each other dumbfounded while they heard Luke chuckle. Luke looked at them and said "Dan, I am not speaking telepathically right now, the reason you can understand us right now is because of that mark on your hand." Dan looked at his right palm and then he showed it to his Pokemon and said "This mark? Where did I get it anyway?"
Luke raised a brow and said "You remember what happened yesterday? Falling off the apple tree?" The mystified trainer nodded. The red Riolu continued "When you fell, you were in a very dangerous condition, I sent Matt and Emil to look for help and they found the girl over there." He said pointing towards Liz who waved at them and Dan waved back.
The red Pokemon continued "Before they got there, you were losing Aura fast and you were dying, as Jordan was spazzing out. I decided that the only way would be sharing my Aura with you. I shared my Aura with you and that saved your life, this gave you that mark and certain abilities."
Dan shook his head and said "Abilities?" Luke then said "Basically you can talk to Pokemon now. So keep a low profile on this and put these on." He threw Dan a pair of gloves that fit him perfectly. Dan nodded and said "Let's just act like this never happened and come on, it's time for breakfast." The two nodded and followed Dan back to the campsite.
When they got back to the campsite, Liz served Dan some of the food she cooked and said "Took you a while huh?" The rookie laughed and said "We just had a little misunderstanding. So where did you say you were from?" The brunette pulled out her pokeballs, released her Pokemon and posed with her while saying "I'm Elizabeth Carter from Viridian City and I'm going to win the Kanto contests and win the Grand Festival."
Dan nodded and said "Well I'm Dan Ketchum and I want to collect all the Kanto Badges and win the League." Liz's eyes widened and said "Ketchum? Isn't that the Champion's last name?" The rookie took off his cap and released his Pokemon to feed them and said "Yeah, it is. I'm his son." The girl sipped some of the soup and said "So you must be pretty good at battles huh? So what do you say? A battle after breakfast, 1 on 1?"
Dan put his meal down and looked at his eating Pokemon and said "Sure, why not?" Jordan walked up to Dan with his bowl and said "Can I have some more food Dan?" The purple haired boy nodded and gave him some more and said "I forgot that you were never really introduced. This is my partner Jordan, the red one over there is Luke, the blue one is Matt and the bird is Emil." All four Pokemon nodded and smiled in acknowledgement. The girl then held up Jordan and said "I see, these are my Pokemon, my starter Squirtle my team cutie Eevee and my flying type Pidgeotto." Dan waved at the eating Pokemon and said "So you're a coordinator right?" She nodded and said "It's my life's dream." The rookie then said "So you must be pretty good at making combinations." The girl shrugged and said "I don't know, I just started my journey a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I could show you one after the battle alright?" Dan nodded and proceeded to eat the great food.
After breakfast and after the two cleaned up, they headed into a clearing and Dan said "Ladies first! Choose your Pokemon!" The girl shook her head and said "No way! You go first!" The rookie nodded and then said "Let's go Matt!" Out of the pokeball came a small blue Pokemon that readied itself on the field for its first battle.
Liz held a pokeball and then threw it saying "Shine bright Squirtle!" Out of the ball came a small turtle like Pokemon that flipped in the air two times before landing on the field kneeling then it stood proudly on the field. Liz then said "I'll make the first move! Squirtle use Water Gun!"
The turtle fired a torrent of water towards Matt, Dan then said "Dodge it Matt and then use Aqua Jet!" The mudfish Pokemon dodged the attack and it flew towards Squirtle with water surrounding its body.
Liz then said "Use Withdraw!" The shelled Pokemon hid inside its shell as the attack collided against it making it fly back. When the shell landed, Matt smiled confidently but then Squirtle appeared from its shell without any signs of damage.
Dan then said "That was a good counter but let's see how you put up with this! Matt use Mudslap!" The water type slapped some mud into Squirtle's eyes causing him to stagger back. The brunette then said "Squirtle use Rapid Spin!" The turtle went inside its shell and flew towards Matt, but the Mudkip just stood there as Squirtle blindly tried to hit him but failed miserably and ended up crashing on a nearby tree.
Dan grinned and said "That's one of Mudslap's effects, decreased accuracy now Matt follow it up with Tackle!" Matt ran towards the Squirtle who was frantically trying to wipe the mud from his eyes and then Liz said "Squirtle just trust me on this, use Bubble straight forward and then follow it up with Ice Beam!"
The turtle stopped its actions and fired several high speed bubbles towards Matt who was running towards Squirtle, and then the Squirtle froze the bubbles turning them into spheres of ice making them very solid and damaging against the Mudkip.
Matt flew back and then shakily stood up and growled. Dan then said "That was a good combination but now let's use Tackle!" Matt nodded and said "I'm using this new move Jordan taught me." Dan raised a brow and said "Go ahead!" The Mudkip ran towards Squirtle its tail started to glow and Liz said "Withdraw Squirtle!" The turtle retreated into its shell but Matt crashed its tail against the unmoving shell making it fly back and actually causing damage against the defensive move.
Liz then said "Squirtle get up!" The Kanto starter appeared from its shell showing signs of significant damage. Dan snapped his finger and said "Great work Matt and now let's finish with Aqua Jet!" The mudfish Pokemon smiled and then flew towards the staggering Squirtle in a coat of water and crashed against its hard shell sending him back to Liz unable to battle.
Liz picked up Squirtle and said "You did a good job Squirtle, now have a break." She handed him an Oran berry and walked up to Dan who was just saying to Matt "Top class work Matt, you used Iron Tail pretty well for your first try. Now have a good rest." Matt nodded and said "Thanks Dan!" as his trainer returned him into the pokeball. Liz scratched the back of her head and said "You're pretty good Dan, I can see that you really are the Champion's son." Dan grinned at her and said "You're not so bad yourself Liz, for a coordinator. Now care to show me that contest move you said you'd show me?"
Liz walked a few steps away from Dan and said "Alrght! We've been working on this appeal for a while now. Eevee! Squirtle! Shine bright!" Out of the Pokeball came out a small brown fox-like Pokemon that did a flip before landing on the field and it smiled at Dan and gave a cute wink. Squirtle on the other hand ran beside his partner and waited for his trainer's command.
Luke tugged on Dan's pants and said "What's a coordinator?" Jordan popped out of Dan's bag while eating a piece of bread and said "Yeah what are they?" Dan kneeled at them and said "Coordiantors are trainers who favor beauty over brute strength and train their Pokemon to enter contests." Jordan nodded and Luke just turned to watch Liz and her Pokemon do her thing.
Liz clapped her hands and said "Get ready for a class A performance everybody. Eevee! Squirtle! Let us begin!" The two Pokemon and their trainer bowed towards Dan, Luke and Jordan and then Liz said "Eevee use Shadow Ball!" The little normal type Pokemon leapt into the air and formed a black sphere on energy and fired it into the air and gracefully landed on the ground.
Dan and his Pokemon starred at the Shadow Ball in the air and then Liz said "Squirtle use Ice Beam!" The little water type fired the ice type attack at the ghost type attack and froze the black sphere and gave it a cold coat of ice around the attack. The brunette swept her hair to the back of her head and said "Eevee, Squirtle! Use Iron Tail!"
The two Pokemon leapt into the air and smashed their glowing tails at the falling blue-black sphere causing it to explode and setting sparkles all over the area. Dan and his Pokemon looked at the scene and then Dan said "Wow…That was great." Jordan looked excitedly around and said "That was awesome!" Luke smiled and gave an approving nod.
The female trainer looked at Dan and his Pokemon with her amethyst eyes and then she bowed with her two Pokemon and said "How was that?" Dan stood up and said "That was awesome Liz that was a great demonstration!" She walked over to him and said "You really think so? I plan on using that on my first contest." Dan gave an approving nod and gave her a thumbs up saying "You'll do great Liz, now come on. If we want to get past today, we have to get going soon."
Liz looked at him incredulously and said "I'm going with you?" Dan slapped his cap on and said "I guess if you want to, if you are going to Cerulean City, it would be great to have the company." She looked at him and smiled "Sure Dan, lets go."
AN
Just kidding I wouldn't end it here
SCENE CHANGE
Dan and Liz were standing at the entrance of and Dan said "I guess were here." She looked at the cave entrance and at her Squirtle and said "I have a bad feeling about this." Dan waved his hand and said "Nah don't worry about it too much Liz, now come on." He said running off inside the entrance with Luke by his side and Jordan on his shoulders. The brunette looked at her Squirtle who also ran off after Dan and she put her hands to her face and yelled "Hey Squirtle! Dan! Wait for me!" she ran off after them.
After a few minutes she caught up with Dan and she said "Why did you do that?" Dan shrugged and said "I guess I was just excited to be here, my dad told me that this place housed a lot of Clefairys and Clefables. So I want to check them out." Liz put her hands together and squealed "Cleafairys and Clefables? Oh my Arceus I've always wanted one!" Dan shrugged at her and said "Let's look around then, maybe we'll get to see some."
As the two were walking in the mountain, Dan noticed that it was getting dimmer and Liz said "Dan, it's getting a bit dark in here." Dan looked around and said "You're right, Jordan hand me my flashlight."
Out of Dan's bag appeared Jordan and he handed Dan a small flashlight and Dan said "Thanks buddy." The mouse nodded and went back inside his bag. He flipped the switch on and some light appeared giving them a view of the tunnel. Liz picked up Squirtle and put him on her shoulders and said "We better watch out, we don't want to get lost in these caves." Dan nodded and said "What was that?"
Liz listened intently and heard a suspicious sound emit from a path in the cave, Dan raised a brow and started to walk towards it and Liz said "What are you doing?" The purple haired boy then said "I'm checking it out of course, what's the fun in not checking it out?" Liz rolled her eyes and said "I don't know, not getting hurt?" Dan smiled and said "Meh, I'm going so come on!"
As they were approaching the source of the sound Dan looked at Luke and said "Get ready Luke, it could be anything." The fighting type nodded and then went into fighting position as they slowly moved towards the source. The closer they got they saw that there was a light and a large, very scary looking shadow was creeping over them and it was moaning an unearthly sound.
Dan held his arm back to stop Liz from moving and she held Squirtle tightly as Luke went into fighting position, ready for attack. When the figure appeared, Luke and Dan leapt towards the figure and pinned it to the floor. The purple haired boy flashed the light towards the figure and saw that it was an elderly man with grey hair, a pair of big round glasses and he was wearing a lab coat. The man then held up his hands and said "Wait! I don't mean any harm! I'm just passing by to my station!" Luke gave him a doubtful look and then Dan let go and his Pokemon followed.
Liz and Dan helped the man up and then the brunette said "Who are you and what are you doing here?" The man dusted his lab coat and said "I'm Seymour, I live here in with the Clefairy and I study them and the Moon Stone, I'm sorry if I startled you or anything."
Dan waved his hand and said "My name is Dan and this is Liz, we should be the ones who are sorry, we weren't scared or anything anyway right?" Liz and Luke nodded and so did Jordan who popped out of his bag and climbed on his shoulders but Squirtle was shaking in the inside of his shell.
Dan and Liz laughed at this and then Seymour said "I was on the way to my station to get some medication, so would you two care to go with me?" Liz raised a brow and said "Medication? For what?" Seymour nervously scratched his head and said "You guys heard that moaning a minute ago? That was my stomach." Dan, Liz and Jordan laughed as Squirtle also pooped out of his shell and sniggered.
Seymour pulled out a remote from his pocket and said "Come on, it's pretty dark here so…" He pressed a button on the remote and lights flicked on from the cave's ceiling. Jordan eyed the surroundings with awe while Luke silently walked beside Dan as him and Liz followed Seymour to his station.
As they were walking to the supposed station, the rookie trainers admired the wonderful scenery of the inside of , there were beautiful rock formations all around them and they even saw several Pokemon like Zubats and Geodudes but not any Clefairys. After several minutes they arrived at a metal door and Seymour once again pulled out his remote and clicked a button. The metal door slid open and then Seymour walked inside and said "Well, it's not much but welcome to my humble abode."
Dan looked around and saw that the room was actually looking pretty good, it was complete with the TV, the sofa, the dining room, the washroom and the bed. Dan grabbed a chair by the table and took as seat while Liz stood up in a corner.
Seymour appeared a few minute later and said "We weren't really introduced ourselves, as you know, my name is Seymour Simmons, and you are?" Dan grinned and said "I'm Dan Ketchum of Pallet Town and these are my partners Luke and Jordan." The Riolu snored away at a corner and Jordan waved happily towards the lab coated fixed her hair and said "I'm Liz Carter of Viridian City and this is my partner Squirtle."
Seymour nodded and said "It's nice to meet you all, today was very regular as usual but today a Clefairy came to me and it said that there was an disturbance at the area so I decided to look around and see if anything was wrong but my stomach started acting up so I couldn't really do much." Dan gave Jordan a snack and said "We could look around for you, we wouldn't mind right Liz?" The amethyst eyes glared at Dan and said "Uhh, yes I would mind and…" Seymour then interrupted and said "That would be great! Thank you both for volunteering, I could really use some rest for today. I'll be right back, I'm going to go get you some better flashlights for the darker areas of the cave and a map of the mountain." He said as he got up and went into a different room.
Dan grinned at Liz who was giving him a menacing look and she said "What the heck in Giratina's name did you say we would help him? I just want to get out of this mountain and head to Cerulean City." Dan put down Jordan, smiled at her and said "We wouldn't let an old man get himself hurt right? Besides me might get to see some Clefairys and you would like that won't you Liz?"
Liz crossed her arms, hmped and murmured "You're lucky you're cute and I want to catch a Clefairy." Dan turned to her after messing around and Jordan and said "Did you say something Liz?" The girl's face turned into a shade of crimson red and she defensively said "Nothing! I didn't say anything!" Dan shrugged and said "Maybe you should stay here, your face is all red and it may be because of the heat." Liz shook her head vigorously and said "No, no, I'm going along." Just then Seymour entered the room with several flashlights and a couple of maps under his arms and he said "here are the flashlights and maps; I'd like to thank you two again for your help, I'll follow you two soon enough after I take a little break alright?"
Dan and Liz took their materials and Jordan put on a flashlight helmet and Dan said "Sure old man, we'll start now alright?" The scientist nodded as the two rookies left the room.
Hours passed as Dan and Liz walked around the mountain with Liz checking out every area in the map and then Dan said "Well we checked out most of the mountain now all that's left is the mountain's core. We should get there soon as long as we stay in this path." Liz once again groaned and she said "Where the heck is that old man? Didn't he saw he would catch up with us?" Dan shrugged and said "Maybe he had another problem with his stomach? We can just finish this up and we can return his stuff then leave." The brunette fixed her hair in a ponytail once more and said "Alright, let's get this over with."
Just then Liz turned around to find a Clefairy crashing on her leg and then she said "Oh my! It's a Clefairy! Whats wrong?" Dan eyed the little normal type, pulled out his pokedex and it spoke "Clefairy. This impish Pokémon is friendly and peaceful. It is believed to live insideMt. Moon, although very few have ever been seen by humans." Dan shut the device and said "Cool, a Clefairy!" The little normal type jumped around and said "Clefairy Clefairy! Clef Clef Clefairy Clef Clef! (Help us! The moonstone is being attacked by strange people!)" Dan shook his head and said "Liz, there is something going on in the mountains center, we've better check it out." The brunette raised her brow and said "How did you figure that out?" Dan stuttered "I umm uhh figure it out?" The amethyst eyed girl said "Riiigghhhht" but then the cave they were in started to shake and then Dan said "Let's go!" Liz, Luke and the Clefairy ran after Dan and Jordan who was on his shoulders.
Dan ran as fast as he could before reaching the entrance of the mountain's center which he just gladly leapt into. He landed on his feet and looked straight, the cavern was tall and formed in a dome shaped formation and it was truly majestic. In the middle of the cavern there was a large round boulder but it was shimmering with a sparkly coat. The rookie looked around and saw several cages that were filled with Clefairys and Clefables, Dan scanned the room and saw that there was large drill residing there and the large stone was attached to some cables that were connected to the drill.
The rookie turned around and saw Liz breathing heavily and she said "Precious Palkia, how do you run that fast. Now what's going…wow…" she looked at the scene and took in the gravity of the situation. From the ledge above Dan saw two familiar figures appeared from the shadows and then Dan said "It's you two!" The figures looked at them and then the girl said "Why if it isn't the brat from a couple of days ago. This would be a great time for some payback wouldn't it Mantle?" The red eyed man grinned at Dan and held a pokeball saying "Yes it would and it looks like we have a brat number two."
Liz eyed them carefully and then said "Who are you calling a brat Blondie! Who are these people Dan?" The purple haired boy had a serious expression on his face and said "These people are from the new Organization on the news, Team Gamma they call themselves, these two tried to take the Pokemon at my Uncle's reserve a couple of days ago." The brunette glared at them and the two crooks laughed "Look at that both of the brats are angry. Let's leave with the Pokemon and the Moonstone now shall we? But what are we going to do about him?" Dan pointed at himself "If you're going to do anything with me, get ready for a battle." Mantle laughed and said "Who said it was you brat?"
Matrix pushed someone into view and Dan and Liz saw that it was Seymour whose arms were tied together behind his back. Dan's eyes widened and said "You better not hurt the old man!" Mantle laughed and said "We didn't do anything; all we did was tie him up. Now let us go and we will take these Pokemon and the Moonstone with us."
The rookie glared at them and he said "No, I won't let you, remember last time where I said I would stop you? Guess what? I'm going to do it again." Mantle snarled and said "You just keep asking for it don't you kid? Go Magmar!" Matrix pulled out her pokeball and said "Go Electabuzz show these brats what were made of."
Out of the pokeballs came the electric type Electabuzz and the fire type Magmar. Both Pokemon yelled their names and stood intimidatingly on the ground. Dan then yelled "If it's a battle you want, it's a battle you'll get! Go Luke!" The fighting type walked forward and then the rookie looked to the brunette and said "Are you going to join in? I've got the Electabuzz." The girl nodded and then she said "Go Squirlte!" The water type leapt next to Luke and then Mantle yelled "Magmar give us a Smokescreen!" The fire type blew in a cloud of black smoke that shrouded the fire type and the electric type.
Mantle and Matrix leapt down and stood in their positions, leaving Seymour on the level above. Dan called out "Luke keep your guard up!" The little fighting type stood battle ready inside the cloud of smoke, behind his a yellow flash of energy appeared and hit the Riolu at his back making him stagger forward. Matrix giggled and then she said "I'm sorry but me and Mantle use this tactic often, my dear Electabuzz is used to this condition of smoke." The rookie trainer gritted his teeth and said "If we can't aim, maybe we can't miss. Luke use your Aura Sphere!"
The nimble fighting type went into a position and charged a red ball of energy in hus hands and fired it in a random direction, a few seconds later an explosion occurred and then Electabuzz flew out of the smog and landed in front of its trainer. Matrix frowned and said "Electabuzz get up! Get back in there and show our little friend a lesson." The electric type stood up and charged into the smoke, Matrix then said "Now Elctabuzz use Wild Charge!" Luke stood in the midst of the smoke awaiting for his trainer's command and then Dan said "Watch out Luke, and use Bone Rush!"
Luke glared around the area with his eyes alert and he formed a long blue rod of energy in his hands and he stood by for the attack. A moment later Elctabuzz appeared behind him and then Luke opened his eyes then leapt over the Electric type's attack. The Electabuzz stopped its charge and then was given a powerful hit to the stomach with the super effective ground type attack and fell on all fours. Luke smiled at the crippled electric type and his foot set ablaze, he flipped over and kicked him under the chin with a powerful Blaze Kick sending him over the thick haze.
Liz on the other hand was commanding Squirtle while battling Mantle's Magmar. After dodging another Flamethrower, Liz then said "Squirtle use Water Gun and Rapid Spin!" The water type hid in its shell and spun around while releasing a strong torrent of water that did some significant damage to the Magmar. The fire type straggered backa dn them Mantle yelled "Magamr stop the little turtle with another Flamethorwer!"
The fire type sucked in some air and spewed a surge of hot flames that made a direct hit on the Squirtle sending him a few feet back. Liz stood a few feet away frustrated because she couldn't see her Pokemon and she doesn't know what can happen. Mantle laughed and said "Is that all you have little girl? Well I can't expect much more from brats like you. Magmar finish it with your Dynamic Punch!" Liz closed her eyes and yelled"Squirtle you can do it!"
Inside the smog, the turtle Pokemon got up and readied itself for the powerful attack as he saw the Magmar running towards him with the attack ready, he closed his eyes and awaited the pain, a moment passed and another one but the attack never came, he opened his eyes and saw that the fire type was down on the ground unconscious and a red Riolu was standing over him.
Liz watched as the haze dispersed and there lied Squirtle sitting on the ground with a surprised expression on his face as Luke stood in front of him with a fallen Magmar a few feet away, a couple of feet away also lay a fallen Electabuzz. Liz looked at Dan who smiled at her and gave her a thumb up. Mantle growled and said "Dammit! Matrix lets go!"
The two thieves returned their Pokemon and then they turned around and saw that all the Clefairy and Clefables have been freed. They glared at Dan who said "Ever wonder where Jordan disappeared off to? Well lookie there." He said pointing towards the drill.
Near the drill stood Jordan who was with Seymour, they had just finished removing the cables on the Moonstone. Matrix then said "Oh great Mantle, this is your entire fault." Mantle glared at her and said "My fault? I was sooo clearly your fault. They've freed all the Clefairys and disabled the drill so…" he pulled out a bomb and threw it on the ground.
In a flash of smoke, the two crooks were gone. Dan sighed in relief and helped Liz up saying "You alright Liz?" She blushed at their hand contact and said "Yeah I'm fine." Dan grinned at her and said "I'm glad" She quickly pulled her hand and turned away with her face red and said "We should probably check on the others."
Dan walked up to Seymour who had Jordan, Luke, Squirtle and a Clefable by his side. He approached the two and said "I can't thank you two enough for saving me and the Clefairy." Dan nodded his head as Jordan leapt on his shoulders and said "No problem old man, glad we could help." The Clefable tugged on Seymour's coat and said something to him. He turned to Liz and said "In order to show you their gratitude for helping us, they will give a Moon Stone to Dan and they will let you capture the Clefairy you helped." Liz squealed, picked up Clefairy and said "Really? Do I really get to keep her? Is she okay with it? I won't take her away if she isn't okay with it." Dan laughed and so did Jordan but Luke just chuckled. Seymour nodded and the Clefairy in her arms nodded and then Liz pulled out a pokeball. She gently bonked it on Clefairy's head and she was sucked in the sphere which clicked immediately.
Seymour handed Dan a small stone and said "Use it well. Now if you want to leave follow me." Dan turned to Jordan and said "Interesting day huh?" Jordan nodded and said "No kidding Dan." Liz gestured for Dan to follow her and Seymour and the purple haired boy followed.
After a few minutes of walking, they finally got out and then Dan and Liz saw that the sun was setting. They waved to Seymour as they walked away from . The two rookies trekked route 4 for a few hours before nightfall.
Liz and Dan set up camp and fed their Pokemon, while they were eating their food Liz said "Thanks for helping me and Squirtle a while ago Dan." The purple haired boy nodded and said "No problem Liz, that's what friends are for, we are friends right?"
The brunette smiled at him and said "Right."
