Chapter 9: Mother Nature in Action! A Wonder of a Miracle!?
A new day began to rise! The sun beams through trees and holes of trees, so they can reach the ground. When one big sunshine shined on the group, they waked all up. Mareep yawned cute and walked to Kevin, giving his toothbrush, to brush his teeth. He petted her and then brushed his teeth, while Mareep walks to Electrike, trying to get him awake by snuggling. He hugged her, then waked up. He was surprised to see Mareep. They curled up on the ground and did a little nap. Then the rest wakes up, and eating breakfast. On 9 ‘o clock, they were preparing to travel to the Gym of Florina. Mareep and Electrike kissed each other, and walked as a couple to their trainers. Then the whole group started walking to the end.
Swablu was sitting on Ella’s head, enjoying the height. Mareep sit in Kevin’s backpack, secretly nibbling on her favorite berry. When Mareep, jumped out the backpack and was sitting on Kevin’s head, they all saw Green Tree Town. Ella noticed that as first.
“Look Kevin! There’s Green Tree Town!” she pointed at a couple of tree houses, made from wood and grass. Kevin ran faster with Ella and their pokémon. Then they arrived the town. It looked like a jungle and not a town! But then a young girl showed up, with short green hair in Hawaiian clothes.
“Hello! Welcome to Green Tree Town! The town from Mother Nature! Because it’s you two’s first time here, here’s a little tourist map about our little town!” said the girl, giving Kevin the stuff. He opened it and he saw everything on the map. He then saw the Gym on the map, and some information about it.
“The Gym Leader Florina is a young Gym Leader with much talent! Her mother and father trained her. She’s the first Gym Leader, but she’s harder then other normal first Gym Leaders in the other regions!” read Kevin. Everyone was listening. Then Mareep and Zorua was excited. Later everyone walked to a wooden building. It was covered by ivy’s and other plants. It was the Gym of Florina. Everyone entered the gym. When they arrived to the entrance, they saw Florina high in the sky, on a platform. Kevin could not reach it with his pokémon. Ella could also not reach the platform. It was surely a puzzle of her. Kevin was thinking deep. Mareep and Zorua also.
But suddenly… the X-Transciever ringed. He took the call. It was from Nurse Joy in the hospital of Heatblow City. “Hello Mister Kibo! I have good news! Vulpix is again alive! He woke up! I shall show him to you!” Kevin, Ella and the pokémon was shocked. Everyone did looked in the X-Transciever, so everybody can see Vulpix.
“Vul! Vulpiiix!” did Vulpix said in the hospital, waving to everybody. Kevin was happy, Ella did cheered with everyone.
“I’m going to send you him! Go to the nearest Pokémon Center, then I transfer him to you, in his pokéball!” Kevin nodded and the rest already leave to the Pokémon Center.
“Florina, our battle waits! I must pick up a old friend of me!” Florina understand what he said, and Kevin leaved also to the PC of the Pokémon Center of Green Tree Town. Kevin logged in the PC by his X-Transciever, and it opens a program to talk with Nurse Joy again.
“Hello Kevin! You are back! I send Vulpix now!” did she said when she saw Kevin and Ella, and the pokémon of them. Then Vulpix walked to the camera of Nurse Joy, waving to the group that watched him. Nurse Joy putted him in his pokéball, and put it in a transporter, to send him to Kevin. After a couple of seconds, a ball of light appeared in the PC’s teleporter. 3 seconds later it’s revealed that the Pokéball of Vulpix the light ball was! Kevin grabbed it, and let Vulpix out of the ball. He cheered! Swablu and Zorua introduced them self to Vulpix. He was so happy, he hugged Kevin, what cause Kevin to fall by Vulpix, because he’s a little bit heavy for him.
“Vul! Vulpix! Vul!” said he to his trainer, while he’s hugging and licking. Kevin missed Vulpix really much, and hugged him. Then Vulpix thanked Mareep for the Gracidea she gave while he was dead. Ella suggested to return to Florina to battle.
“Kevin! Let’s go to Florina! There can Vulpix hold his first battle! Then she have also a disadvantage! Because Grass is weak to Fire!” also noticed Ella when she thought about Florina’s Gym. Kevin nodded.
“Great idea Ella! Come on Mareep, Zorua and Vulpix! Let’s go to the Gym of Florina!” Everyone cheered and ran to Florina’s Gym again. But they still must solve the riddle, to reach the platform where Florina and her pokémon wait to battle. Kevin and Ella were thinking about how they reach her. Then they both had a idea. And their pokémon were already busy with the idea. The idea of them all was to build a bridge made of pokémon! It was 3.8 meters/around 12.5 feet high. Kevin and Ella used the “bridge” to reach the platform. When Kevin and Ella reached it, they pull their pokémon to the platform. Ella and her pokémon sat on the tribune. Ella was cheering for Kevin and his pokémon. Electrike did for Mareep!
“So Kevin, you reached this platform by your pokémon friends. You are ready for our battle. Hopefully you win this, but don’t think I’m a easy pullover!” said Florina before she called her first pokémon. That was a Sewaddle, the Sewing Pokémon. Kevin’s Pokédex beeped when he detected Sewaddle. He grabbed his Pokédex and listened to it.
“Sewaddle, the Sewing Pokémon. Leavanny dress it in clothes they made for it when it hatched. It hides its head in its hood while it is sleeping. Sewaddle can also make clothes for them self by chewing up leaves and sew them with String Shot. He have no item, his gender is Male, his ability is Swarm and have the following moves: Hidden Power, String Shot, Bug Bite and Energy Ball. His type is Bug/Grass.” Kevin putted the Pokédex in his pocket, and let Vulpix fight. He ran to his battle position.
“I start first! Sewaddle! Use immediately String Shot!” commanded Florina.
“SEEEEEEEEEE! WADDDDDLEEEE!” Sewaddle spitted a sticky white thread that “mummified” Vulpix completely. He can’t even move a inch!
“Vul! PIIIIIX!” did he cried out before he was “mummified”! He tried to scream it out when the thread was surrounding him, but his mouth was also stuck.
“VULPIX! Use Ember to burn that thread to ashes! Then use again Ember on Sewaddle!” commanded Kevin to the Fox Pokémon. He was still stuck, he tried to make the little flames, and used on the thread. It was burning, and after 2 seconds he was freed of Sewaddle’s String Shot! Then Vulpix ran quickly to Sewaddle, while he was preparing Ember. Sewaddle was a little bit scared, then Vulpix launched the little flames he stored for his attack! Sewaddle got hit, really heavy. He was almost completely Knock Out! But he have still a little bit energy left after that hit.
“Sewaddle! Use quickly our secret weapon! Hidden Power!” commanded Florina worried with a high voice to Sewaddle. He stood up, and charged quickly light balls, that turn light blue, then he launched it at Vulpix. It was Hidden Power Water! Vulpix forgot to dodge, so he got hit. He had almost no energy left for to battle..but he gave the last blow to Sewaddle.
“Vulpix! Do Quick Attack!” said Kevin worried. He saw in Vulpix’s eyes, tears of the pain. He knew that he couldn’t battle anymore after his last attack. Vulpix ran quickly in the direction of Sewaddle. Vulpix was faster then before! Sewaddle saw him only at the last moment, but it was too late to dodge. Sewaddle got smashed to the soft wall. Then he fell to the ground, not moving. So he was K.O. Vulpix fell also KO to the ground, both had no energy left. Florina returned Sewaddle. Kevin ran to Vulpix, he was worried. “Vulpix! Is everything okay!?” Vulpix opened his eyes, watched to Kevin.
“Vul…pix…” he nodded with a weakly voice to Kevin. Then he did closed his eyes. Kevin returned him in his pokéball.
“Vulpix, thank you. You deserve a nap, for resting after that such hard battle. Florina, you are good, but I’m going to win!” said Kevin with hope, pointing to Florina. Florina had also a smile.
“I feel your happiness, that’s a good sign!” said Florina wise.
“If you think that was my last pokémon, you have it wrong! Go Mareep!” Mareep jumped from her trainer’s head to her position to battle. Florina send her last pokémon. Out the pokéball appeared a light blue beam to form the pokémon. It was a… Roselia! The Pokédex beeped again, while Kevin was watching that Roselia.
“Roselia, the Thorn Pokémon. The more healthy the Roselia, the more pleasant its flowers' aroma. Its scent deeply relaxes people. The gender is Female, her moveset is Stun Spore, Mega Drain, Leech Seed and Poison Sting. She holds a Poison Barb, a item that boost Poison Attacks with 10 percent! Her ability is: Poison Point!” reported the Pokédex to Kevin. Kevin thought about Mareep.
“This is bad, Mareep’s electric attacks is cut to half because Florina is a Grass Type. This is going to be hard for her…… the only attacks that only work are Tackle and Iron Tail. And the two moves are surely not strong enough for it…” Mareep was worried about her trainer. He was so busy thinking about the battle, he wanted really to win… He stopped with thinking and commanded Mareep to battle.
“Mareep! Do quickly Iron Tail!” Mareep nodded, smiled and her long, cute tail, glow silver, like if it’s made from real iron and metal. Then she swing her tail at Roselia. Roselia was a little bit hurt. But she had still much energy left. But then…they all notice that Mareep had Poison by Roselia’s ability. Mareep whines of the pain by the poison she got from Roselia.
“Ma…reep…..” she had really pain, so much, she was almost crying. Kevin, Electrike of Ella, and the rest are really worried. Electrike was trying to cheer Mareep up. Later Mareep stood up, with a fiery flame in her eye! She was angry, rushed to Roselia. Her tail had a Silver Glow again at her tail, only much brighter, then she swing it at Roselia, making her KO.
Roselia was defeated by Mareep, Florina was shocked. Electrike was happy Mareep won. And Ella was happy for Kevin. Electrike hugged Mareep and Ella hugged Kevin. Everyone was happy, even the Gym Leader. “Kevin, that was a wonderful battle. Your Mareep is really strong. But without that cheering from her,” pointed she to Ella “pokémon Electrike, I won. Here’s your first Gym Ba- wait, do you have no Badge Case Kevin? Then you must go to Professor Violet! Her Lab is just next to the Pokémon Center here!” said Florina. Kevin hurried to the lab. Ella was staying in the Gym, to talk with Florina.
Kevin and Mareep was running fast to the lab. After they finally arrived, they entered the modern building. They saw a woman with light brown her, in a lab coat, feeding all starter pokémon she got there. “Hello? Are you Professor Violet? I need a Badge Case.” asked Kevin to her. The woman nodded.
“Yes I am. But you look like you have no starter pokémon, right? Only a Mareep and some other pokémon. Hmmm… follow me, you may choose first a Starter Pokémon from me.” Kevin and Mareep followed her to a big garden outside. Both saw a big farm filled with every starter pokémon of every region. Mudkips were sleeping into a little pond, Bulbasaurs, Chikoritas, Turtwigs and Snivys were sleeping the grass field, Chimchars and Tepigs were playing near the warm nests, Cyndaquils, Charmanders and Torchics were training their fire attacks in a area full of rocks, and Totodiles, Oshawotts, Piplups and Squirtles were playing into a big hot spring. There were so many pokémon there, he could not easy choose who’s he taking with for adventures!
