Disclaimer: I still don't own pokemon or its respective characters. Just Trainer Kanade
Trainer Kanade and her Pokemon, a shiny Munna named Baku and a Tropius named Mucai were walking through a rain shower. The air was thick and heavy as they hurried to the next town. Mucai kept pausing and looking at the sky.
"What's wrong, Mucai?" Kanade asked genuinely concerned. He kept glowing with a faint light and opening his mouth. Sometimes, he hiccupped and a bright glowing orb appeared.
Thinking he was sick, she decided to rush him out of the rain and to the Pokemon center She had no idea what was wrong with her Tropius, but it seemed serious, and he continued to look towards the sky. As they approached town the heavy rain let up into a drizzling mist and Mucai's mood seemed brighter. He kept looking up and pausing in his walk. Even, Baku tried to push him forward hating all things wet.
"I'm sorry, Mucai but this is for your own good." She pulled his rarely used pokeball from her belt. "Tropius, come back!" A red beam of light coursed between Mucai and the pokeball. She recalled her Munna too, as she seemed disgruntled at having been left alone outside in the rain.
Kanade ran for the Pokemon center, feet splashing through mud puddles. Tropius don't evolve. Was this some kind of sickness she'd never heard of? Soon she arrived at the Pokemon center where she began describing his symptoms to this town's nurse joy. She laughed, "tomorrow is forecasted to be a sunny day. I'll give him a check up just in case there is something wrong but In think he is trying to learn a new ability for you. If you work with him tomorrow, it'll be easier for him."
Kanade pondered Nurse Joy's evaluation. She was rather wise after all. "So what do you think Mucai wants to learn?" It had to be an attack that required some focusing. Kanade figured out that much now that she realized he was charging up his strength not getting sick. She also suspected it had to do with the sun.
"It sounds like your Tropius wishes to learn Solar Beam." Kanade had heard of solar beam. It was one of the most powerful grass type attacks. She was proud of him for even trying to learn it. She knew it took a full turn in battle for it to pull in sun light, then the Pokemon would release a high powered beam of built-up energy.
Kanade watched the rain patter against the window of the private room they had rented, waiting for the rain to relent. "Munna?" Her Baku tugged at her sleeve. She curled up against Kanade's arm and the trainer couldn't resist petting her.
"Did you know he wanted to learn a new move?" The Munna nodded eagerly. Kanade realized she was a psychic type and often knew more than she let on to. Baku nodded again almost as if she was reading Kanade's thoughts. She decided it'd be best to go to bed and wait til morning.
The three of them woke before dawn and headed to the field. Tropius already steadied himself in the morning sun, planting his feet firmly in the wet grass. Baku began cheering him on. She often provided need moral support to him and he seemed more confident because of it.
Mucai's body began to glow as he took in the morning sun. The light radiated off him and he nodded his readiness to Kanade. "Okay, Mucai ready to try?" The Tropius nodded an affirmative. "Use solar beam!" He opened his mouth to release a powerful golden beam of light, blasting a hole in a nearby patch of ground. Baku danced around his legs around, proudly. That was the story of how Kanade's Tropius learned to use solar beam.
