Pokemon: Friends to the End
Chapter 4: Dawn Of A New Era
The Next Day…
Ash, Dawn, Denise and Brock left Sandgem Town to continue on their journey.
Along the way, Denise and Eevee encountered a wild Shinx and after battling it, she caught it.
Now she had three Pokémon on the team.
Then Dawn and Piplup encountered a Buneary she was looking forward to catch.
She thought it was a perfect time to catch it.
"This time for sure, Dawn, go for it."Ash cheered.
"You can do it!"Denise encouraged.
"I'm so psyched!"Dawn said preparing to throw a Poké Ball that wasn't large enough to catch. "Here I go!"
"Hold on, you've got to make your Poké Ball bigger first."Denise reminded.
Dawn got confused and then shrieked as she struggled to make the Poké Ball bigger.
"You'd better hurry, it'll get away."Ash warned.
Dawn nodded as she finally made the Poké Ball bigger.
"Let's go, Poké Ball!"Dawn said.
Unfortunately, Dawn threw it accidentally towards Ash and it knocked him cold on the ground.
"Oh brother."Denise said with a frown.
Both Eevee and Shinx sweat dropped.
"Oops, sorry!"Dawn apologised.
"Watch where you throw that thing!"Ash shouted.
Dawn started to get annoyed as she said that it was an accident.
"If you hadn't been yelling at me, my hand wouldn't have slipped!"Dawn snapped.
"You weren't doing it right!"Ash retorted.
As Ash and Dawn argued, Piplup turned to see Buneary escape.
"Piplup Piplup Pip!"Piplup called out.
The Penguin Pokémon pointed to where Buneary had gone.
"No!""Ash and Dawn said in unison. "Buneary!"
Dawn glared at Ash.
"I hope you're happy now!"Dawn scowled.
"Don't look at me!"Ash stated.
"Why not? It's your fault!"Dawn argued.
"Your yapping scared Buneary away, you know!"Ash snapped.
Brock and Pikachu just sighed to see a fight going on between the two Trainerz.
"Ash! Dawn!"Denise snapped in annoyance. "Could you two stop this nonsense!?"
"Stay out of this!"Ash and Dawn shouted angrily.
This made Denise lose her balance, making her fell on her back.
Denise sighed in annoyance.
"Why do I even bother?"Denise muttered.
Eevee sweat dropped while Shinx shook his head at the sight.
Pokémon!
Pokémon!
Scene shows Ash and Pikachu in the tree and watching the flying Sinnoh Pokemon in the sky.
It's all about the challenges.
It's a brand new game and a brand new world.
Then Paul and Ash glaring at each other, while Denise glared at Amy.
Their Pokemons did the same.
Camera showed Dawn wearing a pink dress, while Denise wore a fancier magenta dress.
They took out their pokeballs showing Buneary, Piplup, Eevee and Ralts.
New rivals as you fight for survival.
Nothing can stop you, Diamond and Pearl.
Pokémon!
Denise's Shinx tackles Zoey's Glameow.
Aipom fighting Gym Leader Roark's Cranidos.
It's all about the battle.
You gotta play smart.
Palkia in a big cliff and Lucario watching it, then the fighting/Steel Pokemon turned around and saw another Legendary Pokemon in a snowy background,Dialga.
You gotta move faster behind every win there's a chance to begin, again!
You gotta take it all if you wanna be a Master...
Pokémon!
Pokémon!
Scenes shows Dawn and Denise sitting down, while leaning against a large pokeball, Brock, Ash and Pikachu sat at the top of it.
It's time for adventure, Diamond and Pearl.
We can change the world.
Pokémon!
Later, the four trainers were all walking to a Pokemon Centre with the argue continuing.
"Just great, I could've had a Buneary!"Dawn argued. "If it wasn't for a certain big mouth!"
"Oh yeah? Well, I can get me a Buneary too, without your big mouth."Ash retorted.
"Next time, butt out!"Dawn stated.
"That is, if there is a next time."Ash teased looking away.
"I'm catching lots of Pokémon!"Dawn explained.
"You won't, if you keep doing stupid stuff!"Ash argued.
Denise sighed. "There's no point to this argument, you know?"
"Are you calling me stupid!?"Dawn growled.
"No, but I'm thinking about it now!"Ash answered.
"How can you think without a brain!?"Dawn questioned.
"You tell jokes good as good as catching Pokémon!"Ash insulted.
"Quit it! This has gone too far!"Denise said in anger covering her ears.
Suddenly, a light glowed, getting their attentions.
"What's that?"Ash asked.
"It's so bright and beautiful."Denise whispered.
Pikachu, Eevee and Shinx looked at it in amazement.
"It's called Sunny Day, it's a Fire Type move."Brock explained. "Fire Types use it to temporarily raise their power."
"All of the sudden, I feel much happier."Dawn said with a smile.
Suddenly, a little green Pokémon walked toward them.
It was a short bipedal, rosebud-like Pokémon. Its face was yellow with small slit-like eyes. It appeared to be wearing a green bib and had triangular, stubby yellow feet. When the two vines that were on top of its head open up, a big spot can be seen on each. One vine had a blue spot, while the other has a red spot.
"Budew, budew."
Ash, Brock, Dawn and Denise smiled at the little Pokémon.
"Aw, who's this little sweetie?"Denise said kindly.
"So cute."Dawn commented.
Ash took out his Pokedex.
"Budew, the Bud Pokémon."Ash's Pokedex said."In winter, it keeps its bud cold, to survive the cold, but, it opens again in the spring."
"I wonder if this is where that Sunny Day came from."Brock said.
"It was."a Man replied. "Heart in words. But reflect a heart, let the Sunny Day soften yours. For when your heart is light, your bud is happy and bright! Now, don't you feel better now?"
The man that had long black hair with a dark green hat and cape with matching clothing. In his hands was a golden harp.
Ash, Dawn and Denise took a moment to look at each other and agreed.
"Yeah, you're right!"Ash, Dawn and Denise answered in unison.
The four Trainers then introduced themselves to the man.
"Hi! I'm Ash."Ash introduced.
"My name is Dawn."Dawn exclaimed.
"I'm her twin sister Denise."Denise said.
"My name's Brock."Brock replied.
"And I'm the Pokémon Bard known as Nando and this is my Budew."Nando introduced. "We travel the world, bringing joy to all."
"Awesome."Ash complemented with a smile.
"Hey! I've got it! Ash! Denise!"Dawn declared, making Ash and her sister look at her. "Now I can show you two how strong I've gotten!"
"How, sis?"Denise questioned.
Dawn looked at Nando.
"Nando, would you mind battling with me?"Dawn asked.
"If that pleases you, then yes."Nando answered.
"Budew budew!"Budew answered joyfully.
"Don't forget that this is your first battle with a trainer."Ash exclaimed.
"Don't worry about me."Dawn assured. "I'll be fine."
Nando glanced at Dawn and Denise.
"Dawn, are you and your sister by any chance on a quest to win the Sinnoh League?"Nando asked.
"No."Dawn replied. "I'm on a quest to win the grand festival."
"And I'm on the quest to win the Sinnoh League and the grand festival."Denise admitted.
"I see, then, in a Contest battle it is."Nando agreed with a smile. "There's a clearing up ahead that'll be perfect for our battle."
"Great."Dawn complemented.
So the five of them went their way for Dawn's first Pokémon battle.
They all didn't notice Team Rocket sneaking up behind them, though.
Later, everyone headed towards the grass field where Dawn were to have her first Trainer battle.
"Okay! First things first! My Pokémon has to make a gorgeous entrance!"Dawn declared confidently. "Alright then, Piplup! Spotlight!"
Dawn threw her Poké Ball and Piplup came out.
"Piplup Pip!"Piplup replied.
"You may have the first attack."Nando said.
"Alright, Piplup! Use Peck!"Dawn ordered.
Piplup ran towards Budew to attack with a Flying Type move.
"Please, dodge it."Nando replied calmly.
Budew obeyed and dodged Peck.
"What happened!?"Dawn asked in surprise.
"Whoa that's fast."Denise said.
"Please use Bullet Seed."Nando ordered.
Glowing seeds began to appear out of Budew's mouth as it began to close on Piplup.
"Bullet Seed is a Grass Type move, which means it could give a Water Type like Piplup a big problem."Brock explained.
"Dodge it, Piplup!"Dawn ordered.
The Penguin Pokémon moved out of the way and out of range.
"Alright, my turn!"Dawn remarked. "Piplup, use Bubble Beam!"
Piplup's Bubble Beam attack made a direct hit and it caused an explosion.
Dawn jumped with glee, but she stopped upon noticing Nando's chuckle and the slight smile on his face.
As the smoke cleared, it showed Budew had no damage from Piplup's attack.
"But how?!"Dawn said in disbelief. "It was a direct hit!"
"Dawn, isn't obvious?"Denise retorted. "It didn't give any effect!"
"Denise's right!"Ash stated. "Water Types don't do that much to Grass Types!"
"Budew absorbed the attack on purpose and made a jump! Brilliant!"Brock said. "Even using the smoke from the explosion."
"Solar Beam, please!"Nando ordered.
Budew began to charge up energy from the sun to use the Solar Beam attack.
Dawn smiled, thinking that Solar Beam takes long to charge and attack.
"Piplup, use Peck, now!"Dawn ordered.
Piplup again ran to Budew, who suddenly knocked him out with a direct hit from Solar Beam.
"No, Piplup!"Dawn panicked as she picked up Piplup. "Are you okay?"
"It seems that the battle is over."Nando announced.
"But, how were they able to fire Solar Beam so fast?"Denise asked.
"It must have been that Sunny Day."Brock assumed. "Using sunlight would make the move stronger."
"I see."Dawn said sadly and glanced at her Starter Pokémon. "I'm so sorry, Piplup."
"Piplup piplup."Piplup replied.
"Dawn, I wouldn't have guessed this is as your first battle."Nando informed. "You seemed to be good."
"Wow!"Dawn remarked. "That's a nice thing to say! Thank you!"
"You can be sure it was good experience."Brock replied. "Those two really know how to battle!"
"Yeah, no doubt."Ash said in excitement.
Denise smiled. "Totally. It would make you get a lot stronger in the future."
Eevee and Shinx nodded in agreement.
"Yeah."Dawn agreed with a nod.
"Piplup piplup."Piplup chirped.
"I'm off."Nando replied as he walked away. "Best of luck."
Afterwards...
It was now sunset as Ash, Dawn, Denise and Brock walked on the forest pathway.
Denise was holding Eevee while Shinx was safely back in his Poké Ball.
Dawn sighed in sadness.
"I can't catch a Pokémon or win a battle."Dawn declared sadly. "I can't catch a Pokemon, I can't win a battle."
"Hey, chill out and have a nice dinner!"Ash said with a smile. "Get a good night sleep and you'll be fine tomorrow."
"Pika Pi."Pikachu agreed.
"Nice dinner?"Denise questioned with a smile. "Man, when you mention that it makes me hungry."
"Eevee."Eevee responded.
"Good night sleep?"Dawn asked. "How do you get that without a bed?"
Brock looked at his map book.
"Hey, look."Brock declared. "There's a Pokémon Center nearby."
"Really? Hooray!"Dawn cheered in delight. "A real bed with a real room! We can enjoy civilization again!"
"Well, that's a relief."Denise said and let out a small yawn. "Though meals come first before bed time."
"Alright then, Bonsly, let's go!"Brock stated.
Brock send out a small Pokémon that had brown body and yellow eyes.
The Pokémon went in Brock's hands.
"Bonsly, we're going to the Pokémon Center and you're going to be checked out by Nurse Joy!"Brock remarked.
"Bonsly."Bonsly responded.
"So, that's a Bonsly."Dawn replied.
Dawn took out her Pokédex to scan Bonsly.
"Bonsly the Bonsai Pokémon."Dawn's Pokédex stated."Being a Rock-Type, it can get weak if its body contains too much water, so it secretes water from both sides of its body to regulate it."
Ash looked at Brock.
"So, did you bring your other Pokémon too?"Ash suggested.
"Nope."Brock answered. "My brothers and sisters are all watching them back at the Pewter Gym."
"What Gym?"Denise asked.
"Oh yeah. The Gym back in Pewter City."Ash exclaimed. "Brock's family lives there while Brock used to be the Gym Leader."
"Really?"Denise said in surprise.
"Wow!"Dawn chuckled. "That's amazing!"
Soon the four heroes were at the Pokémon Center, seeing Nurse Joy and her Chansey.
"Good evening."Nurse Joy greeted. "Welcome to the Pokémon Center."
Chansey smiled. "Chansey."
"Hold on!"Dawn said in confusion. "Aren't you from Sandgem Town?"
"Not me."Nurse Joy giggled. "The Nurse Joy in Sandgem Town is my sister."
"Sister?"Denise asked in surprise.
"See?"Brock asked.
Brock showed the two sisters a photo of the Sinnoh Nurse Joys all around in each town and cities.
"You mean, there's that many Nurse Joys?"Dawn asked.
"Whoa."Denise said with a small chuckle. "The family sure is big, huh?"
"Isn't it great!? All Nurse Joys are related, every gorgeous one!"Brock said happily and took Nurse Joy's hand. "My dear! Although all of you are beautiful, your beauty stands out!"
Denise sweat dropped. "You sure like that."
Eevee frowned and sweat dropped as well.
"Eevee."Eevee murmured.
Dawn looked at Ash and Pikachu.
"Ash, Brock is acting the same way with Officer Jenny"Dawn commented. "What's up with that?"
"Yeah, there's a question with no answer."Ash replied nervously.
"Pikachu."Pikachu said with a nervous smile.
The group later called Johanna, who was glad to see her daughters has made new friends.
"I certainly appreciate you looking after my daughters."Johanna responded while holding her Glameow. "I realise of course that sometimes, they can be a handful."
"Oh no."Ash and Brock said in unison.
Denise blushed. "You mean Dawn, right, mum?"
Eevee snickered.
"C'mon, mum, you don't have to worry about us."Dawn said awkwardly.
"Dawn's right."Denise reassured.
"When you say there is nothing to worry about, Dawn, that's what worries me the most."Johanna explained, making the older twin sister to sweat drop."Don't forget that I'm counting on you two."
"We won't."Brock and Ash replied.
"Then, you all have a good time, Ash and Denise!"Johanna declared as she waved goodbye."Many luck to your Gym Battles."
Johanna shut down her phone leaving Dawn to sigh.
"Our mum."Dawn complained. "What a mum."
"Hey, that's how she is."Denise reminded with a sheepish smile.
Nurse Joy walked up to the group.
"Oh, Ash, Denise by the way, did you two register for the Sinnoh League?"Nurse Joy asked. "You will both need to."
Ash and Denise then registered for the Sinnoh League.
"Can I register for Contests here, too?"Dawn asked. "I'm a Pokémon Coordinator."
"Oh, me too."Denise remarked. "I am going to compete in Pokémon Contests as well."
Nurse Joy smiled. "You both need to do that in the Arena, you two can get passes there as well."
"Great! Thank you!"Dawn and Denise said in unison.
Nurse Joy smiled. "You both need to do that in the Arena and can get passes there as well."
"Great, thank you!"Dawn and Denise said in unison.
"Nurse Joy!"A boy called out.
Everyone turned just as the sliding doors opened as two boys and a girl arrived with a Turtwig, Chimchar and a Prinplup.
"We're back!"the first boy declared. "Could you take care of our Pokémon?"
Dawn and Denise walked over to the three kids.
"Wow! Chimchar and Turtwig."Denise chuckled and noticed the Pokémon that looked a bit like Piplup. "Is that what I think it is?"
"A Prinplup!"Dawn said. "Doesn't it evolve from Piplup?"
"Right, he just evolved yesterday."the girl answered.
"That's so cool."Dawn commented.
Dawn took out her Pokédex.
"Prinplup the Penguin Pokémon and the evolved form of Piplup."Dawn's Pokédex buzzed. "A strike from its wings can be harmful, as it searches the ocean for its prey."
Denise looked at Dawn.
"Hey, Dawn."Denise spoke up. "If we train Turtwig and Piplup well, we might able to get them to their final evolved forms."
Dawn smiled. "That would be great!"
"Well, if isn't, Ash, Dawn and Denise."A familiar voice called out.
Ash and his new friends turned around to see Nando in front of them in the Pokémon Center entrance.
"Nando."Dawn said.
"Nando."Denise chuckled. "What a surprise."
"Yes, it is."Nando agreed with a smile. "A pleasant one that is."
Nando walked to the counter where Nurse Joy gave him his Budew.
"Here you go."Nurse Joy declared as she handed Budew back to Nando. "Your Budew is feeling a hundred percent better."
"I'm in your debt."Nando said with a smile.
"Are you sleeping in the Center too, Nando?"Dawn asked.
"No."Nando replied holding Budew in his hands. "There are several things I need to ponder elsewhere and so, good evening."
Nando then left the center.
"What's he pondering about?"Ash questioned.
"Nando is having trouble whether to participate in Pokémon Contests or in Pokémon Gym Battles."Nurse Joy replied.
"Yeah? With a strong Budew like his, he should always choose Gym battles."Ash asnorted and looked at Denise. "Don't you think so, Denise?"
"Well..."Denise started with a thoughtful look.
"No way! It's Contests!"Dawn argued with a smile. "He sure knows how to show off his Budew!"
"Maybe we should let Nando decide for himself!"Ash said angrily.
"That's fine!"Dawn snapped.
The two of them ran out to find Nando.
"Hey!"Denise protested. "Hold on a second, guys!"
Denise and Eevee left the Center with Brock following after giving Nurse Joy his love again.
Later that Night...
The four Trainers were out in the dark forest searching for Nando.
"Nobody is here."Ash commented.
"I wonder where Nando went."Dawn said.
Ash sent out Starly to search for Nando, but the Flying Type Pokémon found nothing.
"If he was here, Starly would've seen him."Brock stated.
"Thanks for looking, Starly return."Ash answered.
Ash returned Starly in his Poké Ball.
"Sorry, Dawn."Denise apologised. "We're gonna have to camp out here."
"What?"Dawn asked and sweat dropped. "We're not going back to the Pokémon Center!?"
"Uh, by the time we get there, the sun will be up."Ash declared.
"Yeah, I guess so..."Dawn said sadly.
"You two always do this."Brock argued. "You go, running off without thinking what the consequences might be."
"He's right you know."Denise informed.
"Right..."Ash and Dawn groaned in unison.
Suddenly, they saw an old man and a woman standing right in front of them.
"Worry not!"the woman called out. "We've got three hots in the cot!"
"What've you need is what you've got!"the man said proudly.
All of the heroes grew confused as the two elders gestured toward a strange-looking inn right behind them.
"It's in...a forest?"Ash asked in confusion.
"You see, we love to consume things people can't stand."the woman explained.
"But, since you fit in the category, you can stay for free!"the man added.
Ash, Dawn, Denise and Brock all grew relieved.
"Well, it is late and they seem so nice."Brock stated.
"Right!"Ash, Dawn and Denise said happily.
"Nicest to the world!"the two elders said in unison.
Then a Meowth appeared in front of the two elsers.
"And look check out this case, it can take Pikachu and Eevee in."
Suddenly a wind blew up knocking down the inn.
It was actually turned out to be a fake, disguised as a cardboard.
Dust from the fall appeared revealing the three fakes.
It was Team Rocket!
"You were supposed to build a hotel! Not a back lawn movie set!"Jessie growled.
"Let's see what you build in two bucks!"Meowth groaned.
"Team Rocket!"Ash, Dawn, Denise and Brock snapped angrily.
Eevee started growling at the three baddies.
"Listen! Is that a voice that I hear?"
"It's speaking to me loud and clear!"
"Loving on the wind!"
"Past the stars!"
"In your ear!"
"Bringing chaos at a breakneck place!"
"Dashing hope, putting fear in its place!"
"A rose by any other name is just as sweet!"
"When everything's worse, our work is complete!"
"Jessie!"
"And James!"
"Meowth, that's a name!"
"Putting the good-doers in their places!"
"We're Team Rocket!"
"In your face!"
"Wobbuffet!"
"Mime mime mime!"
"Why do you keep chasing Pikachu!?"Dawn demanded.
"Why are you such a twerp?"Jessie asked.
"Carnivine!"James said. "Time to come out and play!"
James took out his Poké Ball and a Grass Type Pokémon appeared.
It bit into James head causing Denise and Eevee to sweat drop.
"No! Time to play!"James complained. "Not time to bite!"
"Eesh, they never quit."Denise retorted while folding her arms.
Eevee shook her head.
"What's that Pokémon?"Ash asked.
Ash brought out his Pokédex.
"It's a Carnivine, Ash."Brock answered. "It looks they must've just caught it."
"Carnivine the Bug Catcher Pokémon."Ash's Pokédex buzzed."It uses its sweet smelling saliva to catch its prey."
"Guys, you leave this to us!"Dawn insisted before sending out her Water Type Pokémon out. "Piplup use Bubble Beam!"
"And, Eevee, use Shadow Ball!"Denise ordered.
Piplup used Bubble Beam, while Eevee used Shadow Ball at Carnivine.
Suddenly, Carnivine crushed the bubbles and the smokey ball with his mouth.
"The Bubble Beam's gone!"Dawn said.
"So is the Shadow Ball!"Denise added.
"Piplup!?"Piplup said in shock.
Eevee growled. "Eev!"
"Water Type moves have almost no effect on a Grass Type like Carnivine!"Brock reminded.
"Lucky us!"James sneered. "Bite for you!"
Carnivine made a jump to bite Piplup and Eevee.
"Piplup!"Dawn panicked. "No!"
"Quick, Turtwig and Shinx, let's go!"Denise ordered.
Denise threw her two Poké Balls out.
"Turtwig!"
"Shinx!"
Suddenly, a Budew pushed Carnivine away.
The four Trainers and their Pokémon were surprised at seeing Budew.
"Budew!?"Ash asked.
The Grass-Poison Type Pokémon used Bullet Seed, blasting Team Rocket gang away.
"Where did that thing come from!?"Jessie asked in anger.
"I'm sick of little green Pokémon!"Meowth scowled.
"Something about green ones rubs me away, too!" James groaned.
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!"Team Rocket screamed as they disappeared and out of sight into the night sky.
As Budew landed on the ground, the four Trainers and their Pokémon saw Nando come out.
"Such a shame."Nando complemented. "I was enjoying the night until they arrived, I trust that you're alright."
"We are!"Ash, Dawn, Denise and Brock answered in unison.
"As a matter of fact, we were looking for you, Nando."Denise admitted.
"Me?"Nando said in confusion. "Why?"
A While Later...
Nando and the four Trainers sat in a campfire while Turtwig, Eevee and Shinx were resting in Denise's knees.
"You're right."Nando replied. "I'm torn...whether choosing Contests or Gym Battles."
"Well, Budew is perfect for a Gym Battle."Ash suggested.
"No way!"Dawn argued. "Budew's moves were made for Contests!"
"If I enter the Sinnoh League, I need to Gym Badges of each 8 Gym locations, which gives me 8 badges."Nando explained. "On the other hand, to enter the Grand Festival, I need to enter 5 Contest arenas giving me 5 Contest Ribbons."
"Sounds to me that the Gym Battles should be your best!"Ash declared.
"Sounds to me that Contests should be your best!"Dawn stated.
"No, Gym Battles!"Ash argued.
Denise twitched her eyebrow in annoyance as she covered her ears.
"Keep that up then."Nando replied. "We won't be able to hear the forest sing."
Ash and Dawn looked at Nando.
"What do you mean?"Dawn asked.
To Nando's answer, the group heard a cherishing song.
Wild Pokémon began to sing in the dark forest.
"All the forest Pokémon are singing at once."Denise said in amazement.
"The forest...really does sing!"Brock remarked in awe.
"It's gorgeous!"Dawn commented in joy. "I never noticed it before! Now, I'll always hear it!"
"Yeah."Ash agreed. "Sleeping outside is not so bad after all, right?"
"Yeah. I'm sorry, Ash."Dawn apologized. "All for the complaining I've made, all the things weren't going well for I guess I was out all on you."
Brock, Nando and Denise all felt relieved to see Ash and Dawn getting along again.
"You know...right after I left Pallet Town, I saw a flying Pokémon, that was glowing like a rainbow!"Ash exclaimed. "I'm sure it was a Ho-oh! It was something that I've never seen before!"
"Maybe that's what me and Denise saw."Dawn suggested.
"Yeah..we saw a seeable silhouette of a legendary Pokémon in Lake Verity once."Denise commented. "Or perhaps it was something else."
Just then, Nando played his golden harp again to calm the air around them.
"What you see is hidden, you now see it with your own eyes."Nando explained kindly. "The forest song gives a gift for you and me, let our heart be grateful that the mysterious night Pokémon shows itself, ever so selflessly."
"Nando, if tomorrow is alright, me and Turtwig would like to challenge you for our first Pokemon battle, too."Denise suggested.
"The pleasure is all mine, Denise."Nando responded.
The Next Morning...
Denise was going with Turtwig while Nando is going with Budew.
"You may take the first move then."Nando responded.
"Alright then!"Denise chuckled. "Let's do this, Turtwig!"
Turtwig nodded at his Trainer.
"Okay, Turtwig, use Razor Leaf!"Denise ordered.
Turtwig threw sharp leaves at Budew.
"Please, use Bullet Seed."Nando replied.
Budew shot a mass of glowing seeds at the Razor Leaf, which collided together.
However, the Razor Leaf made its way to Budew and giving it wounds.
"Use Mega Drain!"Nando ordered.
Budew shot a glowing beam sucking Turtwig inside and the Bud Pokémon then began to glow red and her wounds disappeared.
"Turtwig!"Denise shouted in worry.
"How did Budew heal!?"Dawn said in surprise.
"You see, when you use Mega Drain, the user can heal by half the damage that the opponent has taken!"Brock stated.
"But isn't Budew also a Poison Type?"Ash asked.
"Pika?"Pikachu asked.
"Yeah...and it would be a quiet a problem to Turtwig."Brock admitted.
"Turtiwg, are you okay?"Denise questioned.
Turtwig stood up and nodded at his Trainer.
"Good!"Denise commented. "Then, let's try attacking with Tackle!"
"Turtwig!"Turtwig replied.
Turtwig charged at Budew and hitting his opponent.
"Nice one!"Denise praised proudly.
Suddenly, Budew frowned as she began to glow.
Denise and Turtwig gasped in shock.
"What's wrong with Budew?"Dawn asked.
"Nothing, it's evolving."Brock answered.
"No way!"Dawn answered.
Nando, Denise, Dawn, Ash and Brock witnessed the evolution.
The glowing stopped, revealing a new Pokémon.
In Budew's place was a small, light green bipedal Pokémon. She had three thorns on top of her head and had black eyes with long eyelashes. Visible from the back was a small stretch of yellow coloration around her neck much like a collar. There were leaves extending from her shoulders like epaulettes. She had a leaf skirt with a yellow stripe running down the front.
"Roselia!"
"Roselia!"Ash said in surprise. "Budew evolves into Roselia!?"
"Pika..."Pikachu whispered.
"Whoa."Denise chuckled with a smile.
Denise took out Pokédex.
"Twig."Turtwig said.
"Roselia the Thorn Pokémon and the evolved form of Budew."Denise's Pokédex buzzed. "Roselia's aroma can bring serenity, but the thorns on its head contain a vicious poison."
"Awesome."Dawn admitted. "I've never seen anything like it."
"An amazing development, indeed."Nando agreed. "Roselia, Sunny Day, please."
Roselia put her rosy hands up and the sun glowed brightly.
"Now, if you please, Solar Beam!"Nando ordered.
The charge was complete as Roselia fired the Grass Type move towards Solar Beam.
Brock, Ash, Dawn and Pikachu gasped in shock at the sight.
"Here it comes!"Brock warned.
"Turtwig, dodge it!"Denise ordered.
Turtwig obeyed and dodged the attack.
"Now, Turtwig, use Tackle!"Denise stated.
Turtwig did a quick charge and slammed his head on Roselia.
"Wow, Turtwig!"Denise said happily. "You learned Quick Attack!"
Roselia fell to the ground.
"Oh my!"Nando called out. "Roselia!"
Roselia only groaned as she had swirls on her eyes.
"I guess this is the end."Nando stated simply. "It looks like we lost."
Turtwig ran to Denise and jumped to her arms.
"We did it, Turtwig!"Denise cheered in victory. "We won our first battle!"
Turtwig snuggled Denise's cheek.
Nando picked up Roselia.
"A brilliant effort."Nando replied before returning his new evolved Pokémon to her Poké Ball. "You deserve a nice and long rest."
Ash, Dawn, Brock and Pikachu praised Denise at her victory.
"Nice one, Denise!"Ash chuckled. "That was so cool!"
"Pika!"Pikachu said in joy.
"Awsome, Denise!"Dawn added.
"That was impressive."Brock said.
Denise and Turtwig smiled at their companions.
"Thanks, guys."Denise thanked.
Turtiwg smiled. "Turtwig."
"Now to Ash, Dawn and Denise."Nando said as he walked up to the group. "I offer you my thanks, I know what I must do."
"You're gonna try the Sinnoh League, aren't you?"Ash asked.
"You're gonna do the Grand Festival, right?"Dawn suggested.
"I'm going to do both."Nando answered.
That caught Ash and Dawn to become both surprised by Nando's declaration.
"Oh, like me."Denise said kindly.
