Chapter 5: Travel Through Mt. Moon! First Battle With Team Rocket!

The next morning, Michael and the girls woke up full of energy.

Michael - "Morning girls."

Girls - "Morning Michael."

After showering and getting dressed, the party entered the lobby for breakfast. Michael then looked over and saw a fisherman with a Magikarp in a tank.

Michael - "You girls go find a table. I'll join you in a second."

Ruby - "Ok Michael. See you in a bit."

The girls quickly found a table, then watched as Michael approached the fisherman. The two share some light banter, then Michael kneels down in front of the Magikarp in the tank. Magikarp didn't seem to have a lot of confidence in itself, but a few words from Michael made its face light up. Michael then handed the fisherman some money and tapped Magikarp with a Poké Ball. The fisherman then shook hands with Michael and left the Pokémon Center. Michael walked over and rejoined the girls.

Weiss - "Did you seriously just buy a Magikarp?"

Michael - "Yep. The fisherman told me that he didn't have the means to take or raise Magikarp. So, I offered to take her off of his hands."

Ruby - "Magikarp's a girl?"

Michael - "Yep."

Michael then brought out the transfer device and contacted Akira.

Michael - "Morning sis."

Akira - "Morning big bro. What do you need?"

Michael quickly explained Magikarp's situation to Akira as he sent Magikarp over to her.

Akira - "Ok I got Magikarp. I'll explain her situation to mom and dad, then get a tub big enough for her for the time being. Make a lake that's big and deep enough for her to stretch her fins in. By the way Michael. Do you mind if we use evolution items on the Pokémon you leave here with us?"

Michael - "Sure Akira. What about those that need to be traded?"

Akira - "I made a second Link Box for just such an occasion."

Michael - "Good thinking. See you after I win at the Cerulean Gym."

Akira - "Bye guys."

Michael ended the call and put the transfer device away. Then he and the girls had breakfast, followed by leaving the Pokémon Center and entering Mt. Moon. Along with taking turns battling the other Trainers with the girls, Michael and Ruby both caught an Onix, along with Michael also catching a Shiny Zubat, Paras, and Geodude. He then kept Zubat and sent the others to his parents and sisters.

(Fun Fact: Zubat was my first ever shiny catch in Emerald.)

Ruby - "Why are you keeping Zubat?"

Michael - "Zubat's evolved form Golbat needs a high friendship bond with me to evolve into Crobat. And before I forget."

Michael pulled a bell out of his backpack.

Weiss - "Is that a Soothe Bell?"

Michael - "Yes, it is."

Michael then beckoned for Zubat to land on his shoulder, where he snuggly tied the Soothe Bell around her neck.

Michael - "There you go. Now let's work together and get stronger. Ok Zubat?"

Zubat - "Yes sir!"

Soon the party continues on their way through Mt. Moon. They also started battling against grunts from a group called Team Rocket. The grunts kept saying things like how they were gonna make a huge profit off of the rare fossils found in Mt. Moon. Then they came across a Super Nerd named Miguel that had a Helix and Dome Fossils in front of him. Super Nerd Miguel then turned around as Michael and the girls got close.

Super Nerd Miguel - "Hey, stop! I found these fossils! They're both mine!"

Super Nerd Miguel then pulled the party into a battle, which Rarity quickly took charge of.

Super Nerd Miguel - "Go Voltorb!"

Rarity - "Rhyhorn darling! Be a dear and put this self-centered loser in his place!"

Both trainers then gave a command.

Super Nerd Miguel - "Tackle Voltorb!"

Rarity - "Answer back with Bulldoze Rhyhorn!"

Voltorb's tackle did nothing, while it was knocked out by a single Bulldoze from Rhyhorn. Super Nerd Miguel returned Voltorb.

Super Nerd Miguel - "Go Magnemite! Use Supersonic!"

Rarity - "Dodge and hit with Bulldoze once more!"

Rhyhorn rushed at Magnemite, whose Supersonic completely missed. Magnemite was then knocked straight into the wall, knocked out. Super Nerd Miguel then returned Magnemite.

Super Nerd Miguel - "Sorry! But I'm still not sharing!"

Ruby - "Aron, Shieldon. Knock him out please."

Ruby's Aron and Shieldon attacked Super Nerd Miguel, hitting him in the stomach and sending him crashing into the wall, knocking him out.

Ruby - "Thank you, you two."

Aron/Shieldon - "Not at all Ruby."

Rarity - "I'll take these for now."

Rarity walked over and picked up both fossils. She then placed them in Michael's backpack.

Rarity - "Give these to Pinkie next time we stop in Pewter City."

Michael - "Good idea Rarity."

Suddenly a smoke bomb went off.

? - "Stop right there!"

(Insert Music: Team Rocket Motto Theme – Kanto Version)

? - "Prepare for trouble!"

? - "And make it double!"

? - "To protect the world from devastation!"

? - "To unite all peoples within our nation!"

? - "To denounce the evils of truth and love!"

? - "To extend our reach to the stars above!"

? - "Jessie!"

? - "James!"

Jessie - "Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"

James - "Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

? - "Meowth! That's right!"

Jessie - "Now hands off! Those fossils belong to us!"

James - "Rrrggghhh! How did you all even get here ahead of us?!"

Michael - "Sorry. But we refuse to follow your orders."

Jessie - "Fine. Then the two of us are going to take those fossils back by force!"

(Music Ends)

Michael and the girls were then pulled into a double battle against Jessie and James. Weiss and Ruby took command to let Rarity's Rhyhorn rest some more.

Jessie/James - "Go Ekans/Koffing!"

Weiss/Ruby - "Go Froslass/Pawniard!"

Jessie - "Froslass is the bigger threat right now. So, let's get rid of her first! Ekans use Acid!"

James - "You attack as well with Poison Gas Koffing!"

Ruby - "Block those attacks and protect Froslass Pawniard!"

Pawniard blocked both attacks, and thanks to being part Steel-Type, she was immune to them.

Ruby - "We got your backs."

Weiss - "Thanks you two. Now answer back with Psychic Froslass!"

Ruby - "Do the same with Metal Fury Claw Pawniard!"

Froslass and Pawniard quickly acted on command, knocking out both Ekans and Koffing in a single hit. Jessie and James then recalled their knocked-out Pokémon.

Jessie - "I can't believe it!"

James - "A pair of twerpettes beat us?"

Jessie/James - "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off!"

The duo then fled Mt. Moon.

Rarity - "Well that just happened."

Michael - "Agreed. Anyway, let's keep moving."

Girls - "Right."

Along the way to the exit, Ruby spotted something sticking out of the ground.

Ruby - "Hey guys. I need some help here."

Michael, Weiss, and Rarity quickly returned to Ruby.

Michael - "What's the matter Ruby?"

Ruby - "There's an object sticking out of the ground here, and I want to use Pawniard to get it, but I don't want to damage the object."

Michael quickly had an idea.

Michael - "Marshtomp."

Marshtomp came out of its Poké Ball.

Marshtomp - "You called for me Michael?"

Michael - "Think you can loosen the ground here so Ruby's Pawniard can pull it out?"

Marshtomp - "Right away!"

Marshtomp quickly got to work, loosening up the ground for Pawniard.

Marshtomp - "All yours Pawniard."

Pawniard - "Thank you Marshtomp."

Pawniard then slowly and gently pulled the object out of the ground. The others were surprised at what the object was.

Weiss - "Is that...?"

Michael - "Yeah! It's a Protector!"

Ruby then handed the Protector to Rarity.

Ruby - "Here Rarity. For you and Rhyhorn when she evolves into Rhydon."

Rarity took the Protector with tears in her eyes, then hugged Ruby.

Rarity - "Thank you Ruby. And I'll be sure to repay you if I ever find a Metal Coat or two."

Ruby - "Thanks Rarity. That means a lot."

Soon the party exited on the east side of Mt. Moon.

Ruby - "Finally to be out of there."

Weiss - "Agreed. And you two are also a step closer to your first ever trade evolution by using the link box."

Rarity - "Mhmm. Too bad there aren't any Ice-Type trade evolutions."

Weiss - "Don't worry. I'm sure I'll find a bunch of other strong Ice-Types."

While walking along the eastern end of Route 4, Michael caught a Psyduck and Tentacool, then sent them to his parents and sisters. They then finally arrived at their destination.

Michael - "Here we are girls. Welcome to Cerulean City."
