Episode 119: Love, Totodile Style
A little later after Lyra and her Marill has temporarily joined Sora, Kairi, Tracey, Pikachu, Angel, and Togepi until Lyra has gotten the hang of her Keyblade.
As they continued on, they are unaware of a Skarmory soaring above them. Its eyes gave off a spakle.
As they continued on they kept their eyes opened for any signs of the Heartless, Nobodies, and Trickster's monsters. Sora and Kairi figured Lyra would be a vulnerable target since she's the newest Keyblade wielder, so they had to watch out for her especially. Pikachu Angel and Marill's ears perked up when a whooshing sound was heard.
"Pika?" Pikachu asked.
"Eevee?" Angel asked.
"Marill!" Marill exclaimed.
"Pikachu, Angel, what's wrong?" Sora asked.
"Marill, did you hear something?" Lyra asked.
"Is it another Heartless attack?" Tracey asked.
"I hope not," Kairi said. She looked around and she gasped when Skarmory was flying in circles before flying down. "Watch out!" Everyone turned to look to see Skarmory come down. Its talons gave off a metallic glow. "Look out! She's coming with Metal Claw!" Everyone ducked their heads as Skarmory came down and misses.
"Who's using Metal Claw?" Lyra asked. Tracey looked up and saw Skarmory.
"I know who she's talking about! Look!" Tracey said, pointing to the Armor Bird Pokémon.
"That's a Skarmory!" Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said. Skarmory turns back around and dove down at them again
"And she's coming this way!" Kairi exclaimed.
"Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered. Pikachu fired Thunderbolt at Skarmory, shocking her. Skarmory fell to the ground, but she wasn't going to stay down that easily. Skarmory glared at Pikachu.
"Something tells me that Skarmory doesn't look too happy about that," Lyra said.
"Skarmory's a Flying-type Pokémon, so it's because Flying-types are weak against Electric-type moves," Tracey said. Skarmory came at Pikachu again with a Steel Wing.
"Skarmory's coming at us with Steel Wing, so use Quick Attack to dodge it!" Sora ordered. Pikachu dodges Skarmory's attack. Skarmory turned back around and and she moves her talons forward to grab Pikachu in them. "She's using Steel Wing, so get ready to use Electro Ball!" Pikachu forms a ball of electricity and sends it at the Armor Bird Pokémon, hitting her. Skarmory goes down for the count. Skarmory gets back up and attacks with Air Cutter.
"She's using Air Cutter!" Kairi gasped.
"Use Iron Tail!" Sora ordered. Pikachu swings her tail to reflect the blades of air. "Now, use Thunderbolt!" Pikachu fired another Thunderbolt and shocked the Armor Bird Pokémon, making her fall to the ground. Sora took out a Pokéball and threw it. Skarmory flows inside the Pokéball wobbles around and around. Stars swirls around the Pokéball to confirm the catch. Sora's Pokémon Box goes off asking him if he wants to keep Skarmory with him. He decided to keep Skarmory with him in exchange for Quagsire. "Better to be a Pokémon than a Heartless."
"I'll say," Lyra agreed.
"Let's get a move on before something else happens," Sora said.
Not needing to he told twice, Kairi, Tracey, and Lyra agreed.
A couple of days later, the group made a stop. Sora and Kairi thought it would be a good time to get Lyra to practice with her Keyblade. She has been having trouble doing so, but she's trying. Totodile even showed off by using Water Gun to juggle a few Magikarp like they were little balls.
Totodile floated on his back when he heard something coming from behind. He saw what looked like a blue, bipedal semiaquatic leporine Pokémon that has an ovoid body. The lower half of its body is white with a white, bubble-like pattern above it, which helps to camouflage it in water. It has elongated, rabbit-like ears with red insides and circular eyes. Its arms and feet are short with rounded ends and no discernible digits. It has a black zigzagging tail with a blue, bubble-like tip. It has a pink ribbon on its tail. It was singing.

Hearts formed in Totodile's eyes as he instantly fell in love with the blue Pokémon and rushed over to introduce himself. Totodile Started up with a Water Gun shaped heart to show his affection, but she just wasn't interested and sprayed Water Gun right in the face. Totodile got back up and took her by the hand. The Blue Pokémon ran off and Totodile chased after her.
Back with Sora, Kairi, and Lyra, she kept on practing with her Keyblade. But she had something else to ask.
"So, fire's not the only kind of magic I can use. Think I can use ice and lightning, too?" Lyra asked.
"You just gotta try thinking it, or say freeze or blizzard and you'll cast your ice magic. Say thunder and you'll cast your thunder spell. Let's give your blizzard spell a try. Just say either freeze or blizzard." Sora said.
"Give it a shot," Kairi said.
"Okay," Lyra said. She held her Keyblade ahead of her. "Freeze!" She shot a block of ice ahead of her. She smiled when she saw what she just did. "That was blizzard! Now to try my thunder spell." She held her Keyblade above her head. "Thunder!" Lightning crashes down. "That's amazing! What other magic can I try?"
"There's Gravity, Stop, Aero, Cure, Magnet, Reflect, Balloon, Spark, Water, Sleep, and Stone. Give those a try," Sora said.
Lyra did exactly that, casting the different spells. She was amazed by what she just did.
A few minutes later, it was just time for lunch. Sora decided to call his Pokémon over to eat.
Sora called out to his Pokémon, "Okay eveyone! Meal's on!" Almost all of Sora's Pokémon had came to eat up their meal. Pikachu, Angel, Togepi, Noctowl, Skarmory, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Natu, Marill, Gligar, Teddiursa, Phanpy, Houndour, Sunkern, Quilava, Skiploom, Unown, Furret, Misdreavus, Celebi, and Ledyba got started to eat when he quickly noticed Totodile was misding. "Wait a minute! Where's Totodile? Totodile! Where are you?"
He looked over to the lake and he didn't see Totodile there at all. Sora was frantically searching for Totodile. Kairi, Tracey and Lyra quickly noticed it.
"What's wrong, Sora? And what are you looking for?" Lyra asked.
"I can't find Totodile anywhere! He was out on the lake the last time I checked and now he's not!" Sora said.
"Where could Totodile go?" Tracey asked.
"And what kind of trouble can that little Pokémon cause?" Lyra asked.
"It looks we're going to have to look for Totodile before something happens," Sora said.
"Sora's right. We might cover more ground when we split up," Lyra said.
"Good idea. Let's get looking," Sora said.
With that said, Sora, Kairi, Tracey, Lyra, and the Pokémon started to search for any signs of Totodile.
Meanwhile, a girl with black hair that went down to her back, wearing a pink shirt, yellow pants, white shoes and white long socks was walking by when she heard something coming.
"Azum!" Azumarill cried.
She turned to see what was that about.
"What was that?" The girl asked. She saw the blue rabbit Pokémon being chased by Sora's Totodile.
"Azumarill!" Azumarill cried.
"Totodile! Toto, Toto, Totodile!" Totodile ran after her.
"An Azumarill and a Totodile? What is going on?" The girl asked. She saw the two Pokémon run towards her and she shakes her arms. "Hey! Wait a minute! Don't run into me!" Azumarill bulldozes right through her not even noticing her. The same for Totodile as he bounced off her head chasing Azumarill. "Now I know how a pancake feels." She got up and dusted herself off.
Not too far away, a couple of Pokémon Hunters are in the area snatching some wild Pokémon with net guns. One of them had blonde hair and is wearing a white jacket, blue jeans and a black vest while the other is dressed like a Russian soldier topped with a black ushanka-hat.
'Nothing like good ol' Pokémon hunting, huh Boris?" The blonde hunter asked.
"Da, Comrade Alex. With really good Pokémon to catch and sell to black market, we be rich as czars," Boris said in a Russian accent.
"I know what you mean, Boris. All we need is something we really can get our mits on. A Pokémon that haven't even come across yet," Alex said.
"Azumarill!" Azumarill cried.
The loud cry caught the attention of the two Pokémon hunters and went over to investigate. They both saw an Azumarill and a Totodile, but the Azumarill is running from the Totodile.
"Comrade! Look! An Azumarill and a Totodile!" Boris said.
"I see them, Boris. An Azumarill is one thing, but a Totodile is worth some big money. We should catch them both," Alex said getting a net gun ready.
"Wait, comrade!" Boris said stopping him. "We should just follow and see where they lead us. There could be more Pokémon for us to catch," Boris said.
Alex smiled as he liked the idea already, "That's a much better idea. There might be even more valuable Pokémon to catch and sell."
The two Hunters followed the two Pokémon to see where they lead them.
"Totodile? Where are you, Totodile?" Sora asked.
"Where are you, Totodile?" Kairi called out.
"Pika, Pika!" Pikachu called out.
"Eevee!" Angel called out.
"Totodile! Come on! I'm not playing around here!" Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"You make us worry like this then you are grounded, mister," Sora said.
They kept looking for any signs, but so far nothing.
"Any luck?" Sora asked.
"No Sora. Sorry," Kairi apologized.
"Nothing," Tracey said.
"I got nothing," Lyra said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
Sora sighed as he looked at his feet and kicked a little dirt.
"Maybe Totodile went back to camp. Never hurts to look," Sora said. They all went back to camp to compare notes.
"Chu," Pikachu said.
They all made it back and Sora didn't take long to notice not one of them seen Totodile anywhere. He sighed.
Sora sighed, "That's what I thought. But why would Totodile just run off like that? That's what I don't get."
"None of us don't get it. Totodile has never given you any reason to just run away," Kairi said.
"Kairi is right, Sora," Tracey said. "Totodile is rambunctious, but there were no signs of ever running away." That made Sora feel better.
"You're right, Tracey. We'll just keep looking," Sora said. A rustling is heard. They all turned to see what it was. It turns out to be a Golduck. "Guys, look! A Golduck!"
"Not unusual to see one around lakes," Tracey said.
"What's he doing?" Kairi asked.
"Maybe looking for something to eat, but Golduck mostly do their hunting in the water," Tracey said.
"Golduck!" A new feminine voice called. The voice belonged to a young woman with blue eyes red hair with a blue ribbon tied on it. She is also wearing a blue midriff shirt and tan pants. She also had a green wristband on her left wrist. She has a Pidgey perched on her shoulder. "Have you any luck yet?"
"Golduck," the Golduck answered shaking its head.
"Oh dear. Where can she be? She has never been gone this long," the young woman said.
Sora, Kairi, Tracey, and Lyra all knew she was having the same kind of problem they were having. Sora and went up to her.
"Excuse us," Sora spoke up, grabbing her attention. "We couldn't help but notice that you're looking for something."
"Yes. My Golduck and I are looking for my Azumarill. So far we had no such luck," the young woman said.
"Your Azumarill?" Sora asked.
Jun remembered being ran over by an Azumarill just a little while ago. She was about to let out that she saw both of those Pokémon when they all heard something coming fast.
"Azu, Azu, Azumarill, Azumarill, Azu, Azu, Azumarill, Azu, Azu!" Auzmarill cried.
"Azumarill!" The young woman said, her lighting up. Azumrill ran behind the young woman's legs. "Azumarill, what's wrong?"
"Better check this out," Sora said taking out his Pokédex for some information.
Azumarill, the Aqua Rabbit Pokémon
The evolved form of Marill
Type: Water/Fairy
Azumarill can make balloons out of air. It makes these air balloons if it spots a drowning Pokémon. The air balloons enable the Pokémon in trouble to breathe.
Rustling in the bushes are heard when Azumarill flinched. Everyone turned to see it was Totodile who came out of the bushes and finally found Azumarill.
"Totodile!" Sora said seeing the Johto Water starter. Totodile runs to embrace Azumarill only to trip. "Hey, Totodile! You okay?" Sora picked up Totodille "You had me worried about you, little mister." Totodile got loose from Sora's hands and made his way to Azumarill. He blew some kisses her way.
"I see what's going on," Lyra said. "That little Totodile has a big crush on Azumarill."
"Yeah. But, I don't think Azumarill is interested," Kairi pointed out.
"Is that why you ran off like that?" Sora asked. He turns to the young woman. "I'm so very sorry about what happened. My Totodile just has an act of being rambunctious."
"It's quite alright. My name is Trixie by the way," she introduced herself.
"I'm Sora. And this is my girlfriend Kairi," Sora introduced.
"Hi. This little Eevee is Angel," Kairi introduced.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Togepi," Togepi chirped.
"My name's Tracey," Tracey said.
"I'm Lyra, and this my Marill," Lyra said.
"Marill, Marill," Marill said.
"Nice to meet you all. You should all come to my tent and stay for the night," Trixie said.
"Your tent?" Sora asked.
"Where is your camp staying, exactly?" Tracey asked.
"Not too far. Now come along," Trixie said. Everyone went with her since they didn't want to be rude. Unknown to anyone, Alex and Boris were following the two Water-type Pokémon.
"Did you see that? A Pikachu, an Eevee, and a Togepi," Alex said.
"Da, comrade! But what other treasures are there?" Boris asked.
"Only one way to find out," Alex said.
The two poachers followed their potential targets wanting to see what else could be there. Trixie and the rest had arrived and they were surprised to see it was actually a circus tent.
"This is your tent?" Kairi asked.
"Actually, it's my circus tent. A Pokémon circus," Trixie said.
"A Pokémon circus? Now that's something," Sora asked.
"Uh-huh. When I was little, I loved both the circus and Pokémon, so I put together this circus. We've been traveling around and caught different Pokémon and taught them certain tricks that suited their abilities," Trixie explained. Everyone all looked around and saw different kind of Pokémon around. Among them were a bunch of Machoke, Ponyta, Rapidash, There were a few Mr. Mime doing some juggling. And a Jynx doing some hula dancing in a grass skirt.
"Man, you weren't kidding, Trixie," Sora said.
"All these Pokémon look like natural performers," Tracey said.
"It must be lots of fun," Kairi said.
"It is," Trixie said. "But we've been having a little problem with our little star."
"What kind of problem is it?" Lyra asked.
"Well, lately my Azumarill has been acting different," Trixie said looking at Azumarill sitting in her chair drinking a fruit juice from a straw and wearing sunglasses.
"Just how different?" Kairi asked.
"And how long has Azumarill been acting like this?" Sora asked.
"I'm not sure. Azumarill has been acting temperamental. Sometimes she just disappears just before showtime," Trixie said.
"And today's no exception," Lyra pointed out.
"And to answer your question, Sora, it was right after I had added Golduck to the show just a few weeks ago," Trixie said. "I never had this kind of problem before Golduck came around."
"I don't doubt that," Sora said, stroking his chin.
"Pika," Pikachu also said stroking his chin like Sora.
"That explains why Golduck was out looking for her," Lyra said.
"But it doesn't explain what she was doing out there in the first place," Kairi pointed out. "Any idea why she's been acting so strange lately?" Kairi asked.
"Trust me, I wish I knew," Trixie said. "Azumarill was so happy and she wouldn't dream of causing any trouble for anyone. And now we have been spending time chasing after Azumarill than training for our show."
Sara looked over to Golduck and saw the Duck Pokémon take a glance to the aqua rabbit Pokémon and saw them blush and that was she put two and two together. She looks over to Kairi who also noticed it.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Sora asked while whispering.
"Azumarill has a thing for Trixie's new Golduck," Kairi whispered back. "And it looks like Totodile doesn't and a chance."
"There's nothing like a love triangle between those Water-types," Sora said. Totodile came in with a kiddie pool and used Water Gun to fill it up. "Totodile, what are you doing?" Sora asked.
"Maybe your Totodile wants to help out with the show," Trixie guessed.
"Totodile," Totodile nodded.
"That's a good boy," Sora said.
"Oh, that's wonderful. Thank you," Trixie said as Totodile rushes over to Azumarill and picked up. He places her in the kiddie pool Azumarill wasn't happy about being forcefully put in the kiddie pool and fired Water Gun in the face. Azumarill then jumps out of the kiddie pool.
"Call me crazy, but I don't think Azumarill likes Totodile all that much," Sora said.
"You can also call me crazy, because I'm thinking the same thing," Tracey said.
A few hours later, the show was officially underway as Trixie got changed into a magician's outfit. Sora, Kairi, Tracey, Lyra, and their Pokémon took their seats.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Feast your eyes on Trixie and her fascinating Marill!" The announcer announced.
Trixie held her top hat in front of her Marill making it jump inside. She taps the hat twice.
"One, two, three!" Trixie counted as several Pidgey flew out. The Pidgey flew around in the air until they all flew back in the hat. Trixie taps the hat three times and Marill is placed on her head.
"Now that's a trick," Kairi said.
"It sure is. Trixie is pretty talented," Sora agreed.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu cheered.
"Eevee!" Angel also cheered.
"Totodile!" Totodile also cheered.
"And now the moment you've been waiting for! Get ready for the Amazing Azumarill Spashtacular Water Extravaganza!" The announcer announced. The curtain raises as Azumarill is holding nine balls; three each color, red, yellow, and green. Azumarill threw the balls in the air used her Water Gun to form a heart shape making the balls flow along them. She turns it to a whirlpool, and changes itbto a star and then swirls around like a river.
"Look at that!" Sora said.
"That Azumarill is very talented," Tracey said.
"No wonder she's the star of the show," Sora said as Totodile got out of his arms. "Hey! Totodile! Come back!" Totodile got on stage and did a Water Gun show along with her. Some of the other kids threw some streamers and fruit at Totodile's Water Gun making them float along. Azumarill didn't like it when Totodile tries to upstage her and stormed off. "Come on, Totodile! Get down here!" Sora and Pikachu went on the stage and makes an attempt to grab Totodile only to catch an apple instead. Sora managed to catch the other fruit. Pikachu got one more apple before it could hit him on the head. The crowd loved it as they all applauded. He chuckled nervously. "Thanks, everyone." He chuckled nervously again.
"How about that. Sora just saved the show after Totodile ruined it," Kairi said.
"It doesn't look like Totodile is going to call it quits," Lyra
As the crowd continued to cheer and applaud, Alex and Boris are outside watching the show.
"It reminds of circus back home, eh comrade?" Boris asked.
"Yeah. It's almost too bad we have to swipe that Azumarill from the show. And sell it to the highest bidder," Alex said as the two hunters chuckled evilly getting into positions to steal the star of the show.
A little while after the show, Sora rubs the back of his head feeling pretty bad about Totodile getting on the stage like that.
"Trixie, I am so very sorry about what my Totodile did. I never meant to ruin the show," Sora said.
"Don't worry about it, Sora. Totodile didn't really ruin the show. The crowd really loved it. I just wish Azumarill could learn that she has to share the spotlight," Trixie said.
Sora felt better to hear that Trixie isn't angry at all at him. But, it didn't excuse Totodile for disobeying him like he did during the show.
"Well, that takes a load off of my mind," Sora said.
Just outside, Azumarill is sitting up against a tree just when Totodile took out a can of Pokémon food. Kairi had made earlier. Totodile tries to offer some to her, but there was no luck. The crocodile Pokémon tries again, but once again no luck. Azumarill ran off trying to get away from Totodile, but he runs after her.
Sora steps outside the tent to look for Totodile to keep going, but suddenly, without warning a net gets caught onto Azumarill and Totodile. Sora runs to the scene.
"Hey! Totodile!" Sora yelled. The yell caught the attention of Tracey and Lyra. They ran to the Pokémon Trainer.
"Sora!" Kairi called out. "What's wrong?"
"Look there!" Sora said as the net is being pulled on by a rope. "It's gotta be Team Rocket again!"
"Wrong!" A new voice called out. The voice belonged to Alex. "It was we who did the deed."
"Now that we have Azumarill and Totodile, Pikachu, Eevee, and Togepi are coming with us," Boris said.
"No way!" Sora said defyingly.
"Never in a million years!" Kairi said.
"Then we'll take them by force," Boris said taking out a Pokéball. He then threw it. "Ursaring! Go!" The Pokéball opens and lets out a huge Ursaring. The large Ursaring lets out a loud roar.
"You go in too, Golbat!" Alex said letting out his Golbat. "Golbat! Use Crunch now!" Golbat dove down to land a bite attack. Sora took out his Pokédex and scanned the bear Pokémon.
Ursaring, the Hibernate Pokémon
The evolved form of Teddiursa
Type: Normal
In the forests inhabited by Ursaring, it is said that there are many streams and towering trees where they gather food. This Pokémon walks through its forest gathering food every day.
Sora puts his Pokédex away.
"Pikachu! Go in and use Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered as he jumped off of his shoulder. Pikachu sends out Thunderbolt and shocks Golbat.
"Ursaring! Use Slash!" Boris ordered. Ursaring moved in to deliever Slash on the yellow mouse Pokémon, but Pikachu dodged the attack. Kairi took out her Pokéball and decided to join in, too.
"Go Quilava!" Kairi said, throwing her Pokéball. The Pokéball lets out her Quilava as he growls at the large bear Pokémon. "Quava! Flame Wheel!" Quilava rolled into a huge fireball and rolled into Ursaring. "Now use Quick Attack!" Quilava dashed forward and lands a hit onto Ursaring. It manages to knock the Volcano Pokémon off, but Quilava manages to get back up. "Looks like it'll take more than your Ursaring is to take my Quilava down!"
"Eevee!" Angel said.
"Toge, Toge, Togepi!" Togepi chirped.
"Don't think so, little girl! Ursaring! Use Focus Punch!" Boris ordered. Ursaring moved in to deliever a punch on Quilava.
"Quilava! Flame Wheel!" Kairi ordered. Quilava rolled into a huge fireball and rolls into Ursaring causing huge damage.
"Pikachu! Use Electro Ball on Golbat!" Sora ordered. Pikachu formed Electro Ball and sends it to Golbat, landing a hit. Alex saw it wasn't going to be easy after all.
"Golbat! Use Haze!" Alex ordered. Purplish-black smoke comes out of Golbat's mouth. Everyone covered their mouths not wanting to inhale the smoke. Once it had been cleared, they saw that the hunters and their Pokémon were gone along with Azumarill and Totodile.
"Dammit! They're gone!" Sora exclaimed.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"They're not going to get away with this!' Tracey said.
"Tracey's right! We should find those guys and teach them a lesson they're not going to forget!" Lyra said.
Trixie then came out of the circus tent hearing the commotion and became worried.
"What happened? Trixie asked.
"A couple of Pokémon poachers came and stole your Azumarill and my Totodile," Sora said. "And they took off in the middle of our battle."
"That's awful! I can't believe somebody would do something this horrible!" Trixie said.
"But, don't worry. We'll get them before they get too far," Sora said.
"But where should we start looking for those guys?" Lyra asked.
"They're probably in the woods somewhere," Tracey said.
"Tracey's right. And if we don't act now, we'll never see Totodile and Azumarill again," Kairi said.
Pikachu and Angel found tire tracks on the forest's soil.
"Pika!" Pikachu called out, getting everyone's attention.
"What did you just find?" Sora asked his partner. Pikachu points to the tracks. "That's probably from the vehicle they came in."
"We should follow it while the trail is still good," Lyra said.
"Right," Sora said turning to Pikachu. "You go on ahead and see if you can find those guys before they get too far. Be careful not to be seen."
"You go with him, Angel," Kairi said. Pikachu and Ang nodded and set off ahead before the rest of the humans followed them. Further ahead, Pikachu and Angel followed the tracks and sniffed the ground knowing they were getting close to the hunters.
Over to a cabin not too far from the circus, Alex and Boris had just arrived with their latest catch.
"I can't believe we let Pikachu, Eevee, and Togepi slip by us. Why did you use Haze and make us retreat?" Boris asked.
"That Pikachu is much tougher than we thought," Alex said. "So, we have to settle with what we've got. Also, we'll have to start getting whatever we've got and set off before the cops find us. And those kids too!"
Unknown to them, Pikachu and Angel had managed to catch up to the hunter's hideout. They saw that there were several other Pokémon in cages. Pikachu and Angel turned back to report to their Trainers.
Further back, Sora, Kairi, Tracey, Lyra, and Trixie have managed to make it halfway through the woods when they came across Pikachu and Angel.
"Pikachu," Sora said.
"Angel," Kairi also said.
"Did you find anything?" Sora asked.
"Pikachu," Pikachu nodded.
"Eevee," Angel also nodded.
The Pokémon couple led them to the hunters hideout. Boris and Alex along with Boris's Ursaring were loading their captive Pokémon into a huge truck to take the Pokémon they poached. Everyone had caught up to them.
"There they are," Sora said.
"This must be their hideout," Traceu said.
"And those poor Pokémon are all very sad in those cages," Kairi said.
"But I don't see Totodile and Azumarill anywhere," Sora said.
"Pika," Pikachu said pointing to the left. Sora saw Totodile in a cage right next to Azumarill's.
"Better get the show on the road," Sora said. Everyone nodded in agreement as they were about to put the rescue plan into motion. Sora and Kairi took out the Pokéballs of Noctowl, Skarmory, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Natu, Marill, Gligar, Teddiursa, Phanpy, Houndour, Sunkern, Quilava, Skiploom, Unown, Furret, Misdreavus, Celebi, and Ledyba. Tracey joined in, too. He took out Venonat, Scyther, and his own Marill's Pokéballs. "Now!"
All of the Pokémon came out and launched their assault on the hunters and the Ursaring.
"What the?!" Alex exclaimed.
"It's those snot-nosed little welps!" Boris also exclaimed.
"We'll take care of them," Alex said taking out his Pokéball. "Golbat! Go!" The Pokéball opens and lets out his Golbat. "Golbat! Use Crunch now!" Golbat moved in to deliever Crunch.
"Skarmory! Use Steel Wing!" Sora ordered. Skarmory rammed into Golbat with Steel Wing. "Chikorita! Razor Leaf! Cyndaquil! Flamethrower! Gligar, Noctowl! Wing Attack! Teddiursa! Metal Claw! Phanpy! Rollout! Natu! Peck! Houndour! Fire Fang! Marill! Water Gun!"
Angel! Use Swift! Ledyba! Use Mach Punch! Skiploom! Bullet Seed! Sunkern! Razor Leaf! Unown! Hidden Power! Furret! Fury Swipes! Celebi! Magical Leaf! Misdreavus! Psybeam! Quilava! Flamethrower!" Kairi ordered.
The Pokémon all launched their attacks onto Ursaring and Golbat.
"Scyhter! Use Slash!" Tracey ordered. Scyther slashed Ursaring hard and quickly got tired.
Golduck glared at the hunters quite angrily and didn't waste any time attacking them. Golduck fired Hydro Pump on Golbat and Ursaring sending them back to their trainers. Sora turned to his girlfriend.
"Wanna make it double?" Sora asked.
"Sure, those two are in trouble," Kairi finished with a rhyme.
"Pikachu!" Sora called out.
"Flaaffy!" Kairi also called out.
"Thunderbolt!" Sora and Kairi ordered at once.
Pikachu and Flaaffy fired Thunderbolt and shocking the hunters and their Pokémon causing extra damage due to all of them being wet.
Once that was done, they placed the hunters and their Pokémon in two vacant cages and left them only for Officer Jenny to come along and arrest them both.
"Glad that's over," Sora said.
"Sure is," Lyra agreed. "We gave those jerks exactly what they deserved."
"I agree with Lyra. Now Officer Jenny should be putting them behind bars," Tracey said.
"But we never figured out why Azumarill was ditching rehearsal," Lyra pointed out.
Totodile was about to go up to Azumarill and froze in his tracks when he saw something. He saw his crush hugging Golduck. Sora shook his head and chuckled.
"Too bad, Totodile. It's better to love and lost than to never love at all, right?" Sora asked.
"Sure is," Kairi agreed. "Gotta admit, those two are pretty happy together."
"So that's why Azumarill kept disappearing. She has been in love with Golduck the whole time," Trixie said. Everyone got ready to depart, but Trixie along with Azumarill and Golduck holding hands. "Thanks so much for helping to save Azumarill. It was nice meeting all of you. And thanks to you, Azumarill's secret is out, and she's happy again."
"No problem, Trixie," Sora said. He looked over to his Totodile looking onto the lake. "But at least Totodile got over it quick." He went up to the Johto Water Starter and found it wasn't the lake he was looking at. It was a Quagsire with a red ribbon. The back fins are much smaller. Sora gave a loud groan and knew what was coming. "Oh no. Totodile, we don't have time for this!"
Totodile just ignored his trainer and tried to woo the female Quagsire, but like Azumarill, she wasn't interested. Sora chased after Totodile who was running after the female Quagsire. Kairi, Tracey, Lyra, Pikachu, Angel, and Togepi all watched both Sora and Totodile running around and around knowing that it'll be a while. But nonetheless, the adventure continues.
