Chapter 35
A shocking rematch
Meanwhile, in the warehouse district of vermillion city,
Jessie, James and meowth were standing in front of a t.v. screen with the boss on screen with his.
"you three fools couldn't even keep track of the boy," Giovanni asked.
"we're sorry sir!" the three said.
"SILENCE, I already thought about a way to trap him, and that's the ST. Anne when it docks in port," Giovanni said.
"The ST. Anne sir?" jessie asked.
"Yes, the plan is to trap every trainer on the ship and capture their Pokémon," Giovanni replied.
"That's brilliant sir," James said," but how will we get the brat on the ship?"
"Simple, winning a free cruise ticket of course, many of my subornments have already given many tickets to many trainers," Giovanni replied.
"Basically, we set up an ambush," meowth said.
"If I may ask, when is the ST. Anne supposed to dock?" James asked, as guy with green hair appeared on the next screen named proton.
"It will dock tomorrow, if a pod of wailord don't get in the way. according to our agents where the ship is now it'll dock at the port early in the morning," proton replied.
"Excellent proton," Giovanni said.
"Now, I want you three to make sure that boy gets on that ship," Giovanni ordered.
"Ai, ai sir," the trio said, as they salute.
as the screen turns off Giovanni was left with proton.
"Proton, I have a special mission for you," Giovanni said.
"Yes sir," proton said.
"I need you to get rid of Jessie, James and meowth!" Giovanni said.
"Any reason sir?" proton asked.
"Yes, they've been a disappointment ever since they joined team rocket, every mission they've done have ended in disasters, and we don't need them in our organization anymore," Giovanni replied.
"With pleaser sir, to be honest I've been wanting to get rid of them as well as the other members," proton said.
"Excellent then I leave it up to you," Giovanni said as he hangs up, leaving proton with a grin on his face.
'The day has finally come for those three fools to finally be gone,' proton thought.
Later, at the battle club building,
Lincoln and his friends enter the build as Lincoln looks in awe.
"So, this is the battle club, amazing," Lincoln said.
"it's more than amazing, it helps trainers and Pokémon work as one," a man said, as he walks up to the group.
"Hello there, my name is Don George, I'm the head of vermillion city battle club," Don George said.
"Hi, I'm Lincoln loud," Lincoln said.
"I know who you are, there's been word about a boy from the U.S. gifted with the rainbow wing," Don said.
"Wow, word travels fast," misty said.
"So, what can I do for you?" Don asked.
"I like to do some training so I can have a rematch with Surge," Lincoln replied.
"Sounds like a good plan, just follow me to the training course," Don said.
Lincoln, misty, and brock see the training course with other trainers and their Pokémon training, with brock mostly distracted with seeing the girls and misty distracted seeing the guys.
"Now, what are training your Pokémon in?" Don asked.
"I'm training my Pokémon in speed, power, and agility," Lincoln replied.
"Very well, the speed course is right over there," Don said.
"Thanks, let's go Pikachu," Lincoln said, as he lets out all of his Pokémon to train.
"Right!" Pikachu said, as he and the others began their training.
meanwhile with Jessie, James and meowth,
The trio were trying to figure out how to get Lincoln on the ST. Anne without him knowing that its them.
"Well, what do you two have in mind?" meowth asked.
"We could mail a ticket to him," James replied, resulting with a smack to the head by jessie.
"You idiot, he probably won't take," jessie said.
"Well, I don't see you coming up with anything, miss smarty pants," James said.
"Yeah, what's your idea?" meowth asked.
Meanwhile, back at the loud house, nighttime,
The louds were getting ready for bed, Rita was typing in her novel about Lincoln's adventure as a Pokémon trainer on her laptop by adding the current stuff Lincoln told her, while Lynn sr. was getting in bed.
"I still can't believe there are trainers like that," Rita said.
"You mean that guy Cross?" Lynn sr. asked.
"Yes, he injured our son, and Lincoln was protecting his Pokémon," Rita replied.
"I know, and I can tell Lincoln sees the Pokémon he catches as family," Lynn sr. said.
"I just hope Lincoln puts him in his place," he added.
"Me too honey, me too," Rita said.
In Lori and Leni's room,
Lori was having a hard time sleeping worrying if Ronnie Anne told bobby about what happened, meanwhile Leni was brushing her hair still upset about cross.
'Who does that jerk think he is, calling Linkey a white-haired freak outsider, if I ever meet him, I'll give him a bad fashion outfit', Leni thought as she gets in bed.
In Lana and Lola's room,
Lana couldn't stop thinking about what new Pokémon Lincoln will send over.
'Maybe I could ask Lincoln if I can give one of his Pokémon a nickname'. Lana thought as she drifted off to sleep.
In lucy and Lynn's room,
Lynn was grunting in her sleep while lucy was looking at more of Lincoln's Pokémon pictures still in thought about him being a reincarnation or having memories from an ancestor.
"I'm glad Luna and Luan made amends to Lincoln, and the karma curse had left them," lucy whispered.
'But could it be true about Lincoln being reincarnated, or having memories from an ancestor, I mean he said he started drawing these Pokémon after the sister fight protocol, I better ask Grandma Harriet tomorrow', she thought as she closes her coffin goes to sleep.
In Luna and Luan's room,
both sisters just got on their pajamas feeling happy.
"I'm glad we both made amends and not worry about holding him back," Luna said.
"Me too, and I was serious about holding back on my pranking," Luan said.
"That's good to hear sis, bro would be proud of you because I already am," Luna said making Luan smile.
"Hey, I was thinking, when link makes it to the league and we get the Pokémon channel installed, should we invite Sam and Benny to join us in cheering on Lincoln?" Luan asked.
"You know, that's not a bad idea," Luna replied.
'it'll help me introduce Sam to the family and put Lori in her place about same gender romance', she thought.
In Lisa and lily's room,
Lisa was lying in bed in thought about the meeting tomorrow.
'I hope Clyde and Ronnie Anne will be able to go after the meeting', maybe after we get the Pokémon cable delivered, I'll invite the McBride's and Casagrande's to join us seeing Lincoln's gym battles and seeing the league, along with Lincoln's other friends, I have a feeling both Clyde and Ronnie Anne told them about what happened to Lincoln', she thought as she sleeps.
Back with Lincoln at the battle club,
as Lincoln and his Pokémon continue their training, with riolu using a punching bag, shell shocker swimming faster, goomy learning dragon tail, fearow mastering arial ace, and Pikachu had increased his speed. while during the training bruteroot and Andrea had evolved, bruteroot looked a bit bigger while the bulb on his back bloomed into a flower, while Andrea grew bigger with brown spikes on her back.
"bruteroot, Andrea you both evolved into ivysaur and sandslash, I'm so glad the training is paying off," Lincoln said.
"I'll say, I feel a bit stronger," Andrea said.
"I feel faster," Pikachu said.
"We certainly improved," bruteroot said.
Lincoln was looking proud, until he saw firestorm struggling on his training.
"Your charmelon, seems to be having some trouble, did something happened?" Don asked.
"Well, he's been feeling down and guilty after our battle with Cross, and saving him from an attack," Lincoln replied.
"I see, another victim of Cross," Don said.
"You know Cross?" Lincoln asked.
"Yes, he's been to every battle club, and each trainer that faced him end up either quitting or following his example about being a trainer, it really ticked me off that there are trainers like him," Don replied.
"Well, I'm not like him," Lincoln said.
"that's good to hear, so what are you going to do for your charmeleon?" Don asked.
"Well, I'll give him time to heal from the experience, I won't face him to battle if he's not ready," Lincoln replied, as Don nods.
'This boy really is something else', Don thought.
"Ok guys, that's enough training for today we gotta get ready to face Surge later," Lincoln said as the other Pokémon came to him and recalled them to their pokeballs (barring Pikachu).
during that time brock and misty were busy flirting with the other trainers, with misty getting some phone numbers while brock got some numbers and got punched by some male trainers for flirting with their girlfriends.
"Brock, misty, we're heading to the Pokémon center," Lincoln said, as they both follow him.
At the Pokémon center lobby,
Lincoln was waiting for his Pokémon, during that time misty gave him a soda.
"So, you think you're ready for your rematch?" brock asked.
"Yup, it's all thanks to Lisa and her advice," Lincoln replied.
"How can you be sure?" misty asked.
"She may look like a four-year-old, but her IQ is at a college level, so I trust her," Lincoln replied.
"Let's hope she's right then," misty said, as the ding went off signaling the Pokémon are fully recovered.
Lincoln goes to Pikachu and his pokeballs," you ready Pikachu?" he asked.
"Born ready!" Pikachu replied with sparks coming out his cheeks.
"That's what I like to hear," Lincoln said.
At the vermillion city gym,
Lincoln and his friends enter the gym with Surge waiting." hey little Albert, you hear for a rematch, I see you didn't evolve your Pikachu," Surge said.
"Pikachu doesn't need to evolve to win," Lincoln said.
"Alright then, let's see you prove it," Surge said, as Lincoln goes through the gym challenge and passing again, then entering the battlefield.
"The vermillion gym battle will now begin with lieutenant Surge vs Lincoln loud, let the battle begin," the male gym trainer announced.
"Voltorb, let's roll," Surge said sending out voltorb to the field.
"Andrea, let's go," Lincoln said, as he sends out Andrea to the field.
"Voltorb use electric terrain," Surge said, as voltorb fills the battlefield with an electric terrain.
"Ha, is that all, Andrea, use earthquake," Lincoln ordered, making Andrea shake the ground sending voltorb flying," now use slash," he added, as Andrea's claws glow white and slashes voltorb knocking it out.
"voltorb is unable to battle, Sandslash is the winner," the male gym trainer said.
"Alright Andrea, we got this," Lincoln said, as Surge was smirking.
"Electrike, let's go," Surge said as he sends out electrike.
"Andrea, use magnitude," Lincoln said, as Andrea fires rocks at electrike, but it didn't do much damage this time.
"Huh, it took it?" Lincoln asked.
"electrike use thunder fang," Surge said, as electrike bites down on Andrea shocking her and knocking her out.
"Andrea!" Lincoln yelled as he picked her up." what happened?"
"Don't you get it when I made voltorb use electric terrain it was to help boost my electric Pokémon's power that even the type advantage wouldn't do much damage," Surge explained.
"I didn't know Pokémon can do that!" Lincoln said, as he recalls Andrea into her pokeball." you did well Andrea for now rest."
"Well, now you know, so are going to give up," Surge taunted.
"No way, this makes the battle more challenging," Lincoln said," bruteroot lets go."
Lincoln sends out bruteroot, ready to battle.' better take down electrike before it uses any of its moves,'
"Use razor leaf!" Lincoln ordered, as bruteroot fires razor leaves at electrike.
"Dodge and use thunderbolt!" Surge said, as electrike was about to shoot a thunderbolt at bruteroot.
"Quick, use vinewhip and slam it down!" Lincoln ordered, as bruteroot launches a vinewhip grabbing electrike and slamming it to the ground.
"Not bad, but not good enough, electrike use electroball!" Surge said.
"Bruteroot use energyball!" Lincoln said.
the two Pokémon charge up and shoots both the electroball and energyball at each other and hitting each other at full power, the result ending with two of the Pokémon knocked out.
"Both Pokémon are unable to battle, this round ends in a tie," the male gym trainer said.
"Didn't see that coming," misty said.
"Yeah, now they're both down to one Pokémon," brock said.
"Raichu, let's go," Surge said, sending out Raichu.
"Go Pikachu!" Lincoln said, as Pikachu jumps off of his shoulder on to the battlefield.
"This will be another easy win," Raichu said.
"Don't get too full of yourself!" Pikachu said.
"Raichu use mega punch!" Surge said.
"Pikachu, use agility and dodge it," Lincoln said, as Pikachu dodges the attack.
"What!" Raichu said.
"No way!" Surge said.
"See, I learn to try something different instead of doing the same method," Lincoln said." now Pikachu use your agility again then use quick attack!"
"Raichu, slow it down!" Surge said.
Raichu tried to stop Pikachu, but he was too fast and use quick attack to land blows on Raichu making it dizzy. until Surge remembered the electric terrain.
"Alright, Raichu use thunder punch on the field to stop Pikachu," Surge said, as Raichu uses a very powerful thunder punch on the field causing it to make a big explosion.
"PIKACHU!" Lincoln yelled.
"The end of the match," Surge said, as the smoke clears until he saw Pikachu using his tail as a stand dodging the attack, but still injured.
"Smart thinking buddy," Lincoln said.
"Thanks," Pikachu said, as he jumps down.
"Alright then, Raichu use volt tackle," Surge said.
"You too Pikachu, volt tackle," Lincoln said.
both Pikachu and Raichu charge at each other as electricity covered their bodies, as they ram each other, it caused another explosion blowing off the roof of the gym, as the smoke clears pikachu and Raichu were barley standing and breathing, until Raichu falls on its back resulting Pikachu's victory.
"Raichu is unable to battle Pikachu is the winner, thus the victory goes to Lincoln loud," the male gym trainer said.
"Unbelievable!" Surge said.
"Alright, we did it," Lincoln said as Pikachu jumps into Lincoln's arms.
Surge walks up to Lincoln and Pikachu," Well done, as a symbol of your victory I give you the thunder badge," he said as he handed a sun like badge.
"Thank you, Surge should I know how strong the other gym leaders are?" Lincoln questioned.
"Well, the two strongest in kanto are Sabrina and the viridian city gym leader," Surge replied.
"Thanks for the info," Lincoln said.
"No problem, Surge said, as Lincoln and his friends head to the Pokémon center.
At the Pokémon center lobby,
"Three down, five more to go," Lincoln said.
"Yup, best to think of different stratagies because the last five will be a lot tougher," brock said.
"Got it!" Lincoln said." well I better call professor oak," he said as he heads to the videophone and starts calling Samuel.
Meanwhile at professor oaks lab,
professor oak just finished setting up and sending the trainers test to the purple woman, until he got a call. he went and answered the videophone showing Lincoln on the screen.
"Hello professor," Lincoln said.
"Lincoln my boy, how have you been?" professor oak asked.
"Well, I had my first gym lost, so I decided to train at the battle club for a while then had a rematch," Lincoln replied.
"Well, that's one experience, it's always important to try new ways to beat your opponent," professor oak said.
"I also made amends with two more of my sisters Luna and Luan," Lincoln said.
"that's good to hear, so that means only three of your sisters are left," professor oak said.
"Well, that'll be tough, because those three are the most stubborn and prideful out of all my sisters," Lincoln said.
"Well, I guess something major would probably knock some sense into them," professor oak said.
"True on that part," Lincoln said, remembering the event from cereal offender.
"So, do you know where the next gym is?" Lincoln asked.
"Yes, the next town is celadon city," professor oak replied.
"Celadon city, how do we get there?" Lincoln asked.
"Simple you go through the rock tunnel then through lavender town," professor oak replied.
"Sounds great, thanks," Lincoln said.
"No problem, not only that an old friend of mine named fuji, after looking at the mega stones he might know more about them," professor oak said.
"Ok, I'll meet him when we get to lavender town," Lincoln said. speaking of mega stones, can I have mine back?"
"of course, but in the meantime, you should relax for a while, the Pokémon league isn't going anywhere," professor oak said.
"I guess you're right, can't hurt to relax from time to time," Lincoln said, as his mega stones appeared on the transport.
"Thanks professor, I'll call again next time," Lincoln said.
"See you soon Lincoln," professor oak said, as he hangs up.
Back with Jessie, James and meowth,
"So, what do you think?" jessie asked.
"You sure it'll work?" James asked.
"of course, it'll work, what makes you think it won't work!" Jessie countered.
"Well, no one can resist a free ticket to a cruise," meowth said.
"Now then, we'll give it to the brat and his friends tomorrow," jessie said, as James and meowth nodded.
Meanwhile with Proton,
proton was meeting with the green haired woman.
"So, you want in on the mission?" Proton asked.
"Yes, I want to redeem myself and get revenge on the brat that cost me my team," the green haired women replied.
"Very well, you may take part in the mission, but you have to assist me in getting rid of the three most worthless members," Proton said.
"You mean Jessie, James and meowth, no problem they've been an embarrassment to team rocket for a long time," the green haired woman said.
"Good," Proton grinned.
That's chapter 35, Lincoln has won his third badge, next comes a relaxing cruise.
