RE: Pokemon Journey Through Life, CHAPTER 7 ON ITS WAY!
You better get going
Oh no our idea cant fall through! And speaking of falling check out chapter 7! NOW IN! Its kind of a long one
Chapter 7
“Are we there yet?!” Whined Ellen
“Ya seriously Max we we’ve been walking for like 6 hours!” Replied Matt
“Come on guys we just stopped for lunch like an hour ago! It’s only a couple more miles.” Exclaimed Max.
“Hey Max at least let me see the map then” asked Matt.
“Sure here”
Matt took the map and looked at it carefully. There was the long island that was slightly curved which was the main island they were on. Then just above the main island was a large circular island.
hmmm, I wonder what’s over there. Bing didn’t tell us anything about crossing an ocean. Then there was a small island to the east. Since it was so small he assumed that it was no big deal.
The three continued walking with their Pokémon by their side. Cyndaquil and Pichu were riding on Ponyta; Treecko was walking next to Max and Piplup next to Matt. The group arrived; the only way you would know it was a town is from the sign “Balsan town, where the grass is always greener.”
You could see all of Balsan town from where they were standing. It was barely even a town. There were 4 log cabins surrounding this giant tree. There were trainers everywhere. They could see tons of Pokémon, wild and used by trainers.
“Woah…It’s huge” said Max
“That is the biggest tree I have ever seen” exclaimed Matt
“That’s it! I see a huge tree which is cool but where do we sleep in those little huts!” replied Ellen
“No actually we sleep on the ground!” said Max
“What!” Said Matt and Ellen in unison.
“Well as you can see there are only 4 houses. 1 is for government officials that come and check on the town constantly, 1 is a meeting hall, and the other 2 are for trainers to sleep in, but there usually taken.” Replied Max
“You could have told us this earlier!” exclaimed Ellen
“Well you didn’t ask!” Replied Max
“I didn’t think I needed to!”
“Well that’s not my problem!”
“Ok ok you two stop it!” Matt said “We’ll sleep under the tree, we can have all of our Pokémon out with us and it will be fun. And we can make sure we get one of the cottages for the tomorrow night!”
“Fine” Max and Ellen replied together.
“Now that you two are finished why don’t we go check out the tree” said Matt
“No, the map says whenever you are in a town always go to the meeting hall first.” Replied Max
“Why?” questioned Ellen
“I don’t know that’s just what the map says” said Max.
The three walked towards the small log cabin. Inside was a giant map of the region on the wall, under it was a desk with a voice recorder on it. There was a not in front of the recorder. It was typed out and looked pretty professional. It read
for information on your next stop press play on the recorder in front of you. It was then signed in cursive
Mr. Bing
Matt reached out and pressed the play button. “Hello Pokémon trainers” Said a voice that was recognizable as Mr. Bing. “As you know before we found this island it was completely uninhabited by humans. But we decided to create 3 towns to help you out along the way. 1 is the town you are currently in, Balsan town. The second one is north; from it there is a path that leads further north. It leads to a gathering ground where trainers must cross the ocean to get to the island north. There are no boats; you must find another way to get across. Now on that island is a city where the championship will be held. So you have a while until you get there. Good luck, everyone! This is Bing signing off!"
“Well that was…err informative” said Max “How are we supposed to get across the ocean anyway, swim?”
“No we’re not going to swim! I’m sure one of us will have sufficient water Pokémon by then, who knows maybe Matt’s Piplup will be an Empoleon.” Replied Ellen
“Well I don’t want to rush anything, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it!” exclaimed Matt “Now let’s go outside there must be a dozen of battles going on out there.”
The trio ran outside where they saw the huge tree, and tons of battles going on under it.
Matt’s eyes fell on two girls doing a double battle with two other trainers. What caught Matt’s attention was that both the girls were using Bagons. The other two trainers had out a Tailow and a Caterpie. Matt was focused on their battle now, he heard the two girls yell in unison “Bagon Headbutt! Matt saw one Bagon fly up at Tailow while the other one charged at Caterpie, they were both knocked out and the two girls had won.
“Hey guys lets go over there,” said Matt as he pointed to where the two girls where.
The three followed Matt over as they were looking at all the trainers Pokémon. As they were walking over one of the girls looked over at them. The group walked over to where the trainers where. One of the girls was much younger; she was on the ground petting her Bagon. The other one had her Bagon in her arms; she was the one looking at Matt.
“That was a grea…” Matt said before being cut off by,
“Hey where did you catch your Bagon?” Exclaimed Ellen.
“Oh, uh my sister and I caught them just outside of a small cave.” Replied the girl.
“That was a great battle; both of the Bagon really seemed to overpower the other Pokémon” said Matt
“Thanks a lot! We’ve been training quite a bit. I have to say that was a great battle you had!” said the girl
“Huh? What battle?” questioned Matt.
“The one on the mountain a couple days ago, against the kid with the Turtwig. That was really good, you’re Piplups talented!” replied the girl
“Wow you saw that! That was my first battle”
“Well it was great! Oh, my names Veronica, this is Bagon and this is Charmander!” She said as she called out the fiery lizard from its Pokeball.
“I’m Matt, and these are my Pokémon,” Matt said as he reached for his belt “You know Piplup and this is Pichu!”
Max and Ellen both reached for their Pokeballs at the same time and threw them out.
“I’m Max, and this is Treecko!”
“Hey I’m Ellen, this is Cyndaquil and Ponyta!
“Wow really cool Pokémon, all of you those are real catches!” said Veronica.
“Hey V what are you doing over here it’s almost dark we need to set up ca…WOW is that a Ponyta!” A young girl came over and started petting Ellen’s Ponyta.
“Yes that’s my Ponyta and who exactly are you?” Said Ellen.
“Oh sorry this is my little sister Cynthia” said Veronica.
“I’ve always loved Ponyta; it was the only type that wasn’t grass or dragon I liked. Oh I see you all have your Pokémon out! Come on out guys!” Exclaimed Cynthia as she threw up 3 pokeballs. Three beams of light shout out and revealed a Bagon, Bulbasaur and Oddish. “I really love grass Pokémon”
“Ya me to!” replied Max “I see you have an Oddish, what do you plan on evolving it too Vileplume or Bellossom.”
“Bellossom for sure, it’s more powerful as opposed to…”
“Vileplume which is more beauty, I know!”
“Alright chatterboxes we need to set up camp too come one let’s go!” exclaimed Ellen as the 3 went and found an open spot under the great tree. They went to sleep knowing that with tomorrow comes new Pokémon friends.
Morning of the next day.
Matt slowly opened his eyes, it was early he could just see the sun rising. He slowly stood up and looked around; there were many people still in their sleeping bags. He looked over and saw Max and Ellen still asleep.
Hmm the first one up, well I better take advantage of this [ /i] Matt reached into his bag got some clean clothes and his two Pokémon in their Pokeballs. He grabbed a low branch and started climbing until he reached a sturdy branch maybe 30 feet off the ground. He sat down and carefully released his two Pokémon to watch the sunset with him.
“Thought you guys might enjoy the sun rise” said Matt as the two Pokémon took place next to him.
“Pip!” “Pi Cha!” replied the two Pokémon in enthusiasm.
“Listen guys I want to tell you something” Said Matt “Ever since I came here it’s been everything I dreamed it would be. You two made that for me, so what I’m trying to say is thank you. Thank you for making this exactly what I wanted!”
Both Pokémon looked at Matt and smiled. Then all of a sudden Pichu’s cheeks started to flow with electricity. Pichu then began glowing a white bright color. Matt knew what was happening and so did Piplup. The glow seemed to shoot straight of Pichu’s skin and a bigger, more yellow Pokémon with a longer tail shown.
“Pika! Pikachu!” said Pikachu showing off its new body.
“You evolved! You evolved because of happiness that’s great!” Exclaimed Matt as Pikachu jumped up into his arms. “I’m sure your happy too aren’t you Piplup”
“Pip!” Said Piplup as he jumped into Matt’s arms as well.
“Ha! I think I heard Max moving lets go down there and see what’s going on.”
Matt returned his Pokémon and climbed down the tree, and of course let them back out when he got to the bottom. He showed off Pikachu to Max and even woke up Ellen, she didn’t mind much though since she had a new playmate. The three all ate breakfast and then decided to climb the tree to see what Pokémon they can find.
“Don’t we need like ropes with carabineers and harnesses for this?” stuttered Max as Matt and Ellen were already climbing up.
“No its fine just start climbing!” exclaimed Ellen. Max took a hold of a small branch that the others had used to climb up.
“I think you two have Aipom blood or something cause I..Err…can’t get up, can one of you help me!” Replied Max
“Here give me your hand I’ll help you up” said Matt.
Max got up and it came naturally to him, possibly the intimidation of another Pokémon. The three spread out around the tree to search for all different Pokémon. Max had gotten it into his head that Swablu like higher altitudes so he was near the top of the tree, so he and Treecko were bouncing around up there. Matt wasn’t sure what he was looking for but he was near Max, yet a little lower. He only had Pikachu with him since he thought Piplup would don great moving on a tree. Ellen was pretty much in the middle and since Ponyta couldn’t go in a tree, had Cyndaquil on her head.
“Hey Matt I don’t see any Swablu up here, you see anything down there?” Said Max
“Ugh…no Max nothing down here!” Matt replied.
“Hey, what’s that? Hey Matt I see a Swablu. Treecko use bullet seed on that Swablu!”
“What Max no you can’t just fire a bullet seed anywh…” The bullet seed had hit a loose branch. It fell down and hit Matt square in the head throwing him off balance. He fell down with Pikachu but managed to grab the branch with his hands to stop him from falling.
“Pikachu! Where are you!?” Yelled Matt in distress.
“Pika” Matt looked down and saw Pikachu holding on to his leg with one hand. Pikachu was losing grip and it was about to fall, he couldn’t climb up. Out of nowhere a Starly flew straight to Pikachu. It grabbed Pikachu with its talons and slowly flew up towards the branch. Matt pulled himself up once he saw that Pikachu was on the branch with Starly.
“Pikachu, Wow I’m glad you’re ok!” said Matt “Starly, Thank you so much. How can I repay you?” Starly hopped towards Matt and pecked towards a Pokeball. “I figured that, and I’m glad to do it!” Matt pulled out one of his spare Pokeballs, clicked the button and there went that beam of red light. It didn’t even wiggle, Starly was instantly caught.
“Hey Pikachu, we just got a new friend!” said Matt as he released Starly from the Pokeball.
“Matt are you ok? I’m really sorry is everyone alright?” Asked Max who had moved down from a higher branch to where Matt was.
“Yes Max we’re fine, but you can’t just fire random attacks while were in a tree.” Said Matt
“Ya I guess you’re right, but it did payoff. Come on out Swablu!” The blue and white bird came out of its Pokeball.
“Wow nice catch! You’re not the only one who caught a Pokémon. Hey Starly come here!” Starly stopped playing with Pikachu and hopped over to where Matt was.
“Starly, nice”
“Hey got an idea, want to test out our new Pokémon?” Asked Matt
“If you mean a battle then you’re on! One on one just our birds,”
“Sounds good to me, ready Starly” Starly nodded in agreement.
“Swablu lets go, use Peck!” Commanded Max. Swablu flew straight at Starly with a glowing beak.
“Quick Starly use double team” Ordered Matt. Copies of Starly shot in every direction, Swablu halted and was instantly confused. “Starly follow up with wing attack!” All the copies charged at Swablu, Swablu was knocked directly back in Max’s direction. Swablu was hurt but it could still fight.
“Swablu fury attack!” Called Max. Swablu was extremely fast and shot straight at Starly with the series of attacks. Starly fell down onto the branch, Swablu was still going in with attacks.
“Starly! Try and use quick attack straight up in the air!” Starly heard what Matt had said and all of a sudden shot up straight in the air with Swablu on top of him. The two birds were high in the air. Neither Max nor Matt knew what was going on, the two birds were probably battling up in the air.
“Swablu use sing!” Called Max, he couldn’t see his bird but decided another attack couldn’t hurt.
“Starly quick get out of there!” yelled Matt. However it seemed to be too late. A loud squawk was heard and Starly was crashing down high from the sky. The birds must have moved their fighting from the middle of the tree to over on the side where no branches were. Now Starly was on a crash course for the ground!
