Episode 215: Tree's A Crowd
On the very next morning, Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel have begun to make their way through the Petalburg Woods. Sora got to know his new PokéNav app, but the signal was coming and going fast.
"Okay, we keep going that way and we should be okay," Sora said.
"That's what you said an hour ago, Sora. I think we're lost," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said. Sora just sighed.
"Okay, this isn't as easy as I thought," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"It's okay, Sora. We're pretty much used to this sort of thing, aren't we? We would end up getting lost, but we always pulled through and got to where we needed to go," Kairi said. Sora smiled.
"You're right, Kairi. The Heartless couldn't stop us, and this won't stop us either," Sora said.
Just when they were about to go forward, they spotted a man looking around. He wore what looks like a business suit. He looked like he was in a hurry.
"Now, I lost him," the man said as he sighed. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel approached the man.
"Excuse us," Kairi said. The man screamed when he heard Kairi's voice. He shuts his eyes as he turned around.
"I keep telling you, I don't know anything!" The man yelled. He opened his eyes and he sighed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, thank goodness. Sorry, I thought you were with him," the man said.
"With who?" Sora asked.
"Who are you talking about?" Kairi asked.
"I honestly don't have a clue. Some guy wearing a sailor costume approached me and asked me about some company secrets," the man said.
Suddenly, a dark skinned man with a small goatee appeared. He wore a striped blue and white shirt with jeans torn a little past the knees. He wore a black belt around the waist. He wore striped blue and white stocking and black gloves. He wore a black bandana bear a white skull-and-crossbone in the shape of the letter "A".
"Thought you can get away from me, did you?" The dark skinned man asked. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel turned to see the man.
"That's him!" The man said.
"Who are you?" Sora asked.
"Nevermind who I am. I'm here to talk business with him! He's an employee of the Devon Corporation, after all," the dark skinned man said.
"I told you, I don't know anything!" The man said.
"Look, whoever you are, just leave him alone!" Sora said.
"And what will you do if I don't?" The dark skinned man asked.
"Why don't you try us and find out?" Sora dared him. He grinned as he took out a Pokéball.
"Okay, you asked for it!" The dark skinned man said. He threw his Pokéball. "Go! Corphish!" His Pokéball opened and out came a new kind of Pokémon. It is a red-shelled, crustacean Pokémon with a short tail similar to a lobster. Its eyes are saucer-like with small pupils, and it has three spikes on top of its head. It possesses four pairs of limbs in total: two large pincers used for gripping prey, and three pairs of legs used for walking. The upper segments of its legs, the underside of its body, and lower halves of its pincers are cream-colored.
"What's this one?" Kairi asked, taking out her Rotom Phone and scanned it.
Corphish, the Ruffian Pokémon
Type: Water
Once it grips prey with its large pincers, it will never let go, no matter what. It is a hardy Pokémon that can thrive in any environment.
"Sora, how about I take him on?" Kairi asked.
"Go for it," Sora said. Kairi turned to Angel.
"Okay, Angel, I'm choosing you," Kairi said. Angel stepped in to battle. He laughed when he saw the pink ribbon.
"Ooh, what's that Eevee going to do? Is it going to cuddle me to death?" The dark skinned man laughed.
"Don't underestimate me or any of my Pokémon. Angel! Use Quick Attack!" Kairi ordered. Angel rushed at Corphish and lands a hit.
"You think you're gonna win like this? Think again. Corphish! Use Vise Grip!" The dark skinned man ordered. Corphish came at Angel with its pincers, ready to pinch her.
"Dodge and use Swift!" Kairi ordered. Angel dodges Corphish's pincers and fired Swift at the Ruffian Pokémon.
"Corphish! Use Water Gun!" The dark skinned man ordered. Corphish fired Water Gun at Angel.
"Dodge it!" Kairi called out. Angel managed to dodge it.
"Water Gun again! Don't let that Eevee slip by you!" The dark skinned man shouted. Corphish fired Water Gun again and again, until she was at last hit. He grinned. "Move in with Crabhammer!" Corphish rushes toward Angel with its pincers emitting water.
"Dodge it!" Kairi called out. Angel managed to dodge Corphish's attack. Corphish tried to land a hit onto Angel, but it was no match for Angel's speed. "Use Headbutt!" Angel lands a Headbutt onto Corphish, sending it flying. The Ruffian Pokémon struck a tree. The dark skinned man called Corphish back and glared at Kairi.
"I'll remember this, girl!" The dark skinned man said, running off.
"Any idea who that was?" Kairi asked.
"And why he was after you?" Sora added.9
"Not a one. I was only camping here in the forest, minding my own business, and then that pirate wannabe somehow knew about my job and started to harass me and started to ask me some weird questions. I don't know nothing, because I'm just a janitor," the man said.
"At least he won't bother you anymore," Kairi said.
"Yeah, thanks to you and your little friend there. And that nickname you gave her is appropriate since angels are supposed to protect people," the man said.
"But you don't mind if we ask you some questions, do you?" Sora asked.
"Not really," the man said.
"Well, for starters, did you see a boy wearing a mask or some guys wearing black hoods by any chance?" Sora asked.
"No, I haven't. They friends of yours?" The man asked.
"Not really," Sora said.
"We thought we should ask," Kairi said.
"Thanks so much for helping me out," the man said, heading back to his camp.
Just as the couple continued to keep going, they hear some rustling up in the trees above them. Pikachu's ears perk up.
"Pika!" Pikachu said.
"I hear it too, buddy," Sora said. They look up in the trees and sees a Treecko running among the treetops. "Treecko!"
"There's more of them!" Kairi said.
"Treecko."
"Treecko."
"Treecko."
A whole bunch of Treecko are running among the trees when they all stopped and looked at Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel.
"I think those Treecko must live here," Kairi said.
"I think you're right," Sora said, taking out his Rotom Phone and scanned the Treecko.
Treecko, the Wood Gecko Pokémon
Type: Grass
Treecko has small hooks on the bottom of its feet that enable it to scale vertical walls. This Pokémon attacks by slamming foes with its thick tail. Since Treecko build their nests in trees, it's said the trees will live a very long life.
"Another starter of the Hoenn region found in the wild," Sora said.
"Look at how cute they are," Kairi gushed at them. There was one Treecko that has a twig in its mouth, like a bacnho (a character type that was common in the 1960's and early 1970's). This Treecko came and releases multiple glowing green leaves from its body. The leaves then spiral in a tornado-like fashion, before heading towards the couple. They dodged the attack. "He just used Leafage!"
"Eevee!" Angel said.
"Hey!" Sora shouted. "You can't do that!"
"Treecko," the Treecko taunted.
They ran after the wild Treecko as it taunts them greatly.
"Hey! Come back here!" Sora shouted. He trips on a large tree branch and he fell down the hill.
"Sora!" Kairi shouted with worry and came after him.
"Pika!" Pikachu said, following her. Sora tumbles down the tree and lands in the bushes near the tree.
"Ouch. That is really a three for style on that landing," Sora said.
"Sora!" Kairi called out to her boyfriend. She, Pikachu, and Angel reached him. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Kairi," Sora said. He stood up and saw something amazing. It was a huge tree. It was so incredible. "Whao."
"What?" Kairi asked before she saw what Sora was looking at. "Oh."
"That is got to be the biggest tree I have ever seen," Sora said.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"It is. And look at it. The tree looks like it's dying," Kairi said.
"You're right," Sora said. Just then a twig is seen coming straight at the couple and they yelped when it darts the ground. They looked up to see the Treecko from before. "You! You're that troublemaker from before!"
"Treecko, Tree," Treecko taunted.
"He's making fun of us!" Kairi said.
"He's not gonna get away with it," Sora said, taking out a Pokéball and threw it. "Go! Torchic!" The Pokéball opens and Torchic scratches the soil with his talons. "Torchic! Move in with Peck!" Torchic ran towards Treecko to peck him, but Treecko smacks Torchic with his leafy tail.
"Pika!" Pikachu gasped.
"Eevee!" Angel gasped.
"No! Torchic!" Kairi gasped.
"Use Ember!" Sora ordered. Torchic fires Ember at the Wood Gecko Pokémon only to miss. Treecko lands another smack with his large tail. Torchic had fallen on the ground beaten. "That Treecko is way tougher than I thought." Just then, a whole bunch of Treecko show up to the one Treecko with the twig. Sora has called back Torchic to rest up. "Don't sweat it, Torchic, you've put up a great fight." Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel looked at the wild Treecko "Any idea why all these Treecko are doing here?"
"No, but I think there could be a dispute going on," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
The elder of the Treecko walks up to the Treecko with the twig.
"Please, you need to give it up. The tree is dead." - Elder Treecko subtitle.
"No way!" - Bancho Treecko subtitle.
"Your desire to save the tree is appreciated, but there are things you cannot change. You cannot stop a tree from losing all the leaves nor can you keep the fruit on it from rotting and decaying." - Elder Treecko subtitle.
"You think you can tell me what I can and I can't do is going to stop me, old man! Then you are pathetic!" - Banco Treecko subtitle. The younger Treecko pushes the elder aside. The other tried to make it to their elder, but the elder just raised its hand.
"Stay back, all of you. I will handle it." - Elder Treecko subtitle. Sora and Kairi were stunned to see the Treecko with the twig push the elder like that.
"You were right, Kairi. Those Treecko are in a real dispute. You think something happened?" Sora asked. Kairi turned to the tree.
"I think it must have something to do with this tree," Kairi said. Sora turned to the tree as well.
"What are you trying to prove? We all left the tree because it became old and no longer good for us to live in. You need to come back with us and find yourself a brand new tree to dwell in." - Elder Treecko subtitle.
"No way, old man! It's too soon to run off this tree! I was born on those brances and they have always been my shelter. So, it's my turn to protect this tree. And I don't care how hard you try to talk me out of it, I'm going to keep going until it's truly over!" - Bancho Treecko subtitle.
Pikachu and Angel were moved by the Bancho Treecko's dedication. The rest of the Treecko just left, leaving the Bancho Treecko alone. Treecko looked right at the tree. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel did the same thing and then right at Treecko. Pikachu and Angel could understand why the tree means so much to Treecko so much. Treecko then climbs up the tree. Treecko then runs off into the forest.
"Treecko! Wait! Where are you going?" Sora called out. Treecko just ignored him.
"Pika!" Pikachu called out as the couple turned to the Mouse Pokémon on one of its branches.
"Sora, I think this Treecko went somewhere to find something to help the tree," Kairi pointed out.
"Eevee," Angel agreed.
"You think so?" Sora asked and Kairi nodded. Sora smiled as he realized how much Treecko's home means so much to him. "If the tree means all that much to you, then I can respect that."
"Sora, are you suggesting that we help out Treecko save the tree?" Kairi asked. "It might be too late."
"You'll never know unless you really try. Besides, Pikachu and Angel can understand how he feels, too. So, let's do the best to help the tree," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Eevee, vee," Angel said.
Kairi was moved by her boyfriend's dedication and desire to help those in need. They waited for hours and they saw the same Treecko come back and drag a huge leaf containing water. Treecko poured some of the needed water at the tree's and placed some fallen leaves to where Treecko has watered it. Treecko rolled up the leaf and walked back to the woods to find some more water for the tree and then came back to repeat the process. Treecko has placed the leaves to where he had poured the water, but he is joined by the couples. Treecko turned and became angered, thinking they wanted a rematch.
"Treecko!" Treecko barked.
"Cool your jets, Treecko. We're not here to pick a fight. We're here to help you out anyway we can," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Treecko?" The confused Treecko asked.
Treecko didn't question their intensions and went back to work to save the tree. The couple joined the Wood Gecko Pokémon to get more water and leaves when he saw some rustling in the treetops. He then heard a loud roar within the forest. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel heard the roar as well.
"Tell me that's not what I think it is," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
They followed the sounds of the roars and the terrified cries of the wild Treecko. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, and Treecko stopped and saw it was a giant Heartless that greatly resembled a grizzly bear. It has brown fur and large claws. The Heartless has a large, bulky body, sharp fangs, yellow eyes, and a stout snout. The Heartless emblem is located on its forehead. This Heartless shall be known as the Grizzly Slash.
"A Heartless!" Kairi gasped.
"I knew we'd see them here eventually," Sora said. Treecko glared at the Heartless, unafraid. Treecko rushes at the Grizzly Slash and smacked it with his tail, but it doesn't even phase it. The Grizzly Slash just swats him with his claws. Treecko unleashed Leafage at the Heartless, hitting it, but like before, it doesn't phase it. The Grizzly Slash came at Treecko again and rammed at him. Sora was moved by Treecko's dedication. "Treecko is that Heartless all by himself, even when the odds are against him." The frightened Treecko could only watch on in terror. Treecko tries to attack again, but it ends with the same result. Treecko was greatly hurt by the Grizzly Slash as it approaches to finish him off. Seeing enough, he summoned his Keyblade. "Treecko!" Sora lunged at the Grizzly Slash and blocked its claw. "I won't let you hurt him!" Treecko looked at Sora with amazement. Sora just saved his life after the fight he picked with him. "Are you okay, Treecko?"
"Treecko," Treecko weakly responded. Sora held his Keyblade above his head.
"Heal!" Sora shouted as he casts his cure spell, healing Treecko's injuries. Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel stepped in to give Sora a helping hand.
"We got your back, Sora!" Kairi said.
The Grizzly Slash roared and rushes at them with a crimson energy. Sora grabbed Pikachu and Treecko as Kairi grabbed Angel and jumped out of the way. Pikachu fired a Thunderbolt right at the Grizzly Slash. The electrical attack struck the bear-like Heartless as Angel fired Swift. Xipak and Celeste came and helped in fighting the Heartless, much to Pikachu and Angel's surprise.
"You again! Who are you?" - Pikachu subtitle.
"We're here to help, and that's what you need to know!" - Xipak said.
The Grizzly Slash charges at the couple, so they struck it from both ends. Kairi started to twirl her Keyblade in the air.
"Flower!" Kairi shouted. Flower petals coming in red, blue, yellow, white, purple, orange, and pink. The flower petals all surround the Grizzly Slash and they do some damage on the Heartless. Treecko rejoins the fight against the Grizzly Slash and unleashed another Leafage. The Grizzly Slash was about to attack him again, but Sora rushed at the Grizzly Slash and held his Keyblade tight as the numbers of the clock appeared as Roman numerals, freezing time around the Grizzly Slash. Sora slashes the Grizzly Slash repeatedly. The Grizzly Slash unfreezed from time and is dealt the damage it received from Sora's strikes. The Grizzly Slash fell on the ground as a heart floats up into the air. The heart vanishes into the sky as the Grizzly Slash's body disappeared.
"That was an impressive spell, Kairi. Did you just learn that?" Sora asked.
"Yeah. Kris isn't the only one with a trick like that," Kairi said. Sora saw Xipak and Celeste. He walked up to the both of them.
"Thanks a lot for the help," Sora said. Xipak looked at Sora, and he saw Roxas from his eyes.
"Thank you, Xipak," Roxas said.
"Pikachu," Xipak said with tears sliding from his eyes.
"Hey, why are you crying?" Sora asked. Xipak took off, running. Celeste took one look at Kairi and she saw Xion in her eyes. Celeste just smiled and followed.
"Where did they go?" Sora asked.
"I don't know, but do you have the feeling we've met those two before?" Kairi asked.
"I don't remember ever meeting that Pikachu and Eevee in our travels, Kairi," Sora said.
"Me neither, and that's what's weird, Sora," Kairi said. She stroked her chin. "That little Eevee was kinda similar to Angel since I saw a ribbon on her, but blue."
Sora and Kairi ends up thinking about it, but the other Treecko all gather around and
"You have saved us all. For that we are eternally grateful." - Elder Treecko subtitle.
"I didn't save you just because I like you or anything. I only did it, because that monster messed with the wrong Pokémon." - Bancho Treecko subtitle. The elder Treecko and the Treecko with the twig did a tail shake. All of the Treecko cheered as the couple smiled at the sight.
"It looks likie they're all friends again," Kairi said.
"Eevee, vee," Angel said.
"They sure are," Sora agreed.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
Treecko with the twig smiled as a cracking sound is heard. He turned to see it was the tree itself. The crack began to grow in size and then it split into two. The elder Treecko instructed them to keep the sides from falling and they tried to hold it, but they just weren't strong enough.
"Sora! The tree!" Kairi gasped.
"Eevee!" Angel also gasped.
"I have a rope we can use!" Sora said, taking off his backpack and took out the rope. The Treecko all tried to hold it, but it was just no use. As the sun has risen, the light of the sun shone from the splits and they all watched as the tree was showing them its past. Right from the beginning as a seed to when it grew into the large tree. "Is the tree being reborn before us?"
"No. I think it's showing us its life," Kairi said. "I don't know how, but that's what it looks like."
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
As the vison continues, seeds are dropped, and grew into the largest tree in the forest. When the vion has ended, the sides of the tree had fallen and a seed has fallen before the twig Treecko's feet. Sora walked up to the Treecko.
"Hey Treecko," Sora said, as Treecko turned to him. "I think that tree was telling you that it was okay. Its time was up, so we can plant a seed just so another tree can be born." The Treecko looked right at Sora and then grins. Treecko smacks Sora with his tail. "Aah! Hey! What was that for?!" Treecko raised his fists, telling Sora that he's challenging him.
"Treecko!" Treecko said.
"You're challenging me into a battle?" Sora asked.
"Treecko," the Treecko nodded.
"Then, I accept your challenge," Sora said.
"Treecko, Treecko, Tree," Treecko said, ppointing to Pikachu.
"But you'll only battle Pikachu? Okay. You're on," Sora said. Pikachu and Treecko got into position for battle. Kairi and all of the other Treecko were watching the battle take place. "I know Electric-type attacks won't do much damage, but I'm gonna have to try." Sora points his finger. "Pikachu! Quick Attack!" Pikachu dashes towards Treecko, but he dodges and uses his own Quick Attack and lands a hit onto Pikachu. Treecko then smacks Pikachu with his tail. "Thunderbolt!" Pikachu fires Thunderbolt and it does little damage onto Treecko. Treecko fires Leafage. "Dodge it, Pikachu!" Pikachu jumps to avoid Treecko's Leafage. Treecko fired Leafage again, but Pikachu kept dodging the attack. "Iron Tail!" Pikachu swings his tail right at the Wood Gecko Pokémon and sends him right into the air.
"Sora! Now's your chance!" Kairi called out.
"Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered. Pikachu fired Thunderbolt and it does more damage than before. Treecko has fallen to the ground beaten. Sora takes out a Pokéball and throws it right at the Treecko. When the Pokéball struck him, he flows inside it. The Pokéball wobbles around violently as Sora and Kairi knew he wasn't going to stay in that easily. The Pokéball kept wobbling until stars swirls around it, confirming the catch. "Now I have my own Treecko!"
"I never doubted you, Sora!" Kairi praised her boyfriend as she took him by the hands. Angel raised his paw.
"Eevee, vee!" Angel also praised.
"Pi, Pikachu!" Pikachu also praised.
Kairi had let go of Sora's hand just so he can pick up the Pokéball containing his newest Pokémon. He hurls it into the air.
"Come on out, Treecko!" Sora called out. The Pokéball opens as Treecko places his twig in his mouth. "From now on, you're with us. So, welcome aboard."
"Treecko," Sora's new Treecko said. The elder Treecko walked up to him.
"Treecko," the elder Treecko said, holding the seed. Sora's Treecko smiled and took the seed and planted it into the ground. Treecko then poured water into the seed, helping it grown and then places leaves onto the spot where the seed has been planted.
The couple took one last at the wild Treecko as they bid they former comrade a fond farewell. They all left as Treecko knew that a bright future was in store for the new tree when it is big enough.
As the couple made their way through the Petalburg Woods, they are approached by a boy who is carrying a huge net.
"Hey there! You a Pokémon Trainer, aren't you?" The boy asked.
"Yeah," Sora answered.
"Good, because I am challenging you into a battle! Three of mine against three of yours!" The boy challenged.
"Okay, you're on!" Sora said, accepting the challenge. Kairi took out two of her Pokéballs.
"Well, then you're going to need some moral support. Plusle! Minun! Go!" Kairi shouted as Plusle and Minun are let out to cheer for Sora. He chuckled a bit.
"Okay! Here goes!" The boy said, taking out a Pokéball. "Go right in Wurmple!" He throws his Pokéball and out comes a small, caterpillar-like Pokémon. Its body is mainly red with a cream underside and face. It has large yellow eyes with dark pupils. It has one sharp yellow stinger on its head and two of them on its rear. It has a tall, erect, red spine behind its forehead and a similar, smaller spine behind that. It has small spikes running down the top portions of its body and five pairs of stubby white limbs. Kairi took out her Rotom Phone to scan the Pokémon.
Wurmple, the Worm Pokémon
Type: Bug
Using the spikes on its rear end, Wurmple peels the bark off trees and feeds on the sap that oozes out. This Pokémon's feet are tipped with suction pads that allow it to cling to glass without slipping.
"And I thought Caterpie were cute. Wurmple's just as cute!" Kairi cooed. She bends down to Angel, Plusle, and Minun. "Let's cheer Sora really hard!"
"Eevee!" Angel said.
"Plusle!" Plusle said.
"Minun!" Minun said.
I got just the Pokémon to start things up with!" Sora said, taking out his Pokéball and threw it. "Go! Taillow!" His Pokéball opened and Taillow came on out to battle. "You can make the first move!"
"Thanks for giving me the chance to win!" The boy said. "Wurmple! Tackle!" Wurmple charges towards Grubbin with a full force of its body.
"Dodge and use your Wing Attack!" Sora ordered. Taillow flew to dodge and came at the Worm Pokémon with his wings out and pelted Wurmple with them. "Use Quick Attack!" Taillow flew right at Wurmple and lands a hit with Quick Attack. "Use Wing Attack!" Taillow flew at Wurmple with his wings out again.
"Wurmple! Dodge and use Poison Sting!" The boy ordered as Wurmple fires Poison Sting. The Tiny Swallow Pokémon dodges the barbs and lands a hit with his wings. Wurmple had been taken out. "No way! Not bad, but he's my next one." He calls back his Wurmple. "Go! Silcoon!" He throws his Pokéball and what ame out is a small, ovular, fuzzy pupal Pokémon wrapped in soft silky fibers. The silk covering its ovular body is pure white, and it has spikes protruding from every side. It has two round red eyes protruding from beneath the mass of fluffy silk on its face.
"Silcoon, huh?" Sora asked, taking out his Rotom Phone.
Silcoon, the Cocoon Pokémon
An evolved form of Wurmple
Type: Bug
Silcoon tethers itself to a tree branch using silk to keep from falling. There, this Pokémon hangs quietly while it awaits evolution. It peers out of the silk cocoon through a small hole.
"Must be an evolution line theme going on everywhere I go," Sora said, calling Taillow back. He took out his next Pokéball. "Go! Torchic!" He threw his Pokéball and Torchic is raring to go. "Okay Torchic! Peck!" Torchic ran towards Silcoon to peck at it.
"Silcoon! Harden!" The boy ordered. Silcoon hardens its body as Torchic pecks at the Cocoon Pokémon. "Now use Tackle!" Silcoon tackles into Torchic.
"Don't take it, laying down, Torchic! Use Peck again!" Sora ordered. Torchic pecks at Silcoon and it hurts Silcoon.
"Silcoon! String Shot!" The boy ordered. Silcoon fires String Shot and tangles Torchic in it.
"Torchic! Ember!" Torchic fires Ember and it burns the silk and lands a hit onto Silccon. The cacoon Pokémon had been taken down so fast due to its weakness to fire. The boy calls back Silcoon.
"Way to go, but here's number three," the boy said, taking out another Pokéball. "It's your turn, Cascoon!" He throws the Pokéball and Cascoon emerges from inside. It looked identical to Silcoon, but it was light purple. Sora tilted his head.
"Another Silcoon?" Sora asked.
"Not Silcoon, Cascoon. There's a huge difference," the boy said. Sora wasn't sure, so he took out his Rotom Phone once again.
Cascoon, the Cocoon Pokémon
An evolved form of Wurmple
Type: Bug
Cascoon makes its protective cocoon by wrapping its body entirely with a fine silk from its mouth. Once the silk goes around its body, it hardens. This Pokémon prepares for its evolution inside the cocoon.
"Well, that confirms it," Sora said, putting his Rotom Phone away. He calls back Torchic and takes out the Pokéball containing his new Treecko. "Your very first battle and let's make a memorable one! Go! Treecko!" Sora throws it and Treecko comes out and places his twig in his mouth.
"You're sending a Grass Type Pokémon against my Cascoon? You should know that Grass Types are at a disadvantage against Bug Types like my Cascoon," the boy pointed out.
"Sometimes, you gotta think outside the box! Treecko! Get ready!" Sora called out.
"Let's make this quick! Cascoon! Poison Sting!" The boy ordered. Cascoon fired Poison Sting to strike the wood gecko Pokémon.
"Treecko! Fire Bullet Seed!" Sora ordered. Treecko fired Bullet Seed and it blocks Cascoon's Bullet Seed. Cascoon kept firing Poison Sting and Treecko kept firing Bullet Seed.
"Oh, nuts to this! Cascoon! Tackle!" The boy ordered. Cascoon charges with a full force of its body.
"Treecko! Use Pound!" Sora ordered. Treecko swings his tail and smacks Cascoon like a baseball. Cascoon hurdles right at a tree and smacks into it, causing some little brown Pokémon that resembles acorns to drop out. They had a beige, mask-like pattern covers its large black eyes, and it has two beige feet. It has a gray "cap" with a short stem on top of its head. These little Pokémon are known as all go running into the woods. The boy ran up to Cascoon.
"Hey, Cascoon! Are you okay?" The asked very concerned.
"Coon," Cascoon responded.
"You've battled enough today. You should rest up," the boy said, calling Cascoon back. Sora walked up to his opponent.
"Is your Cascoon okay? I hope my Treecko didn't hurt it too bad," Sora said.
"Oh no. It wasn't your fault. This sort of thing happens all the time. And besides, something like that was abound to happen. Also, you're really awesome. I mean the way you battle is unreal!" The boy said.
"It's no big deal. You have some pretty cool Pokémon too," Sora said. The boy smiled having to be complimented by Sora.
With the battle over, they continued on their way through the Petalburg Woods to reach Rustoboro City. The adventure continues on and what will happen next? Just wait and see
