Pokemon Hoenn challenge: part 2:- Chapter 3: Meet the enemy Matthias stepped out of his room in the Petalburg pokemon centre. The bright sunlight flooded the entire pokemon centre with orange light. Matthias saw a trainers Chikorita enjoying the heat from the rays. Ashley stepped out of the ladies bathroom. In wearing a bath robe and drying her hair with a towel. "Get dressed sis," Matthias told her. "I'll get breakfast and we should be on our way." She nodded and entered their room. Matthias recieved their breakfast from a Blissy at the food counter. He found a nice place near the window and sat his bag down beside him and started digging into his scrambled eggs with two friend sausages, some ceral and two pieces of toast with butter. Ashley arrived soon after and they both released their pokemon when Blissy served the pokemon food. Matthias took a fifteen dollars and put it in Blissy's small palm. "Include a 'Breakfast for Two' set meal please." Ashley said politely. Blissy smiled happily as it nodded. It walked away slowly. Ashley turned to her brother. "Always count on the pokemon centre to be cheap and have good service." She said. Matthias could not agree more. They only paid 10 bucks for their one night in Petalburg pokemon centre. He looked at His Plusle and Mudkip enjoying their food and chatting with Ashley's Hoothoot and Torchic. After their meal, they stepped out of the pokemon centre and saw a huge commotion at a small stall on the roadside. A blue haired male spoke into the microphone. "Here here! Come get your rare Kanto ground pokemon, the cute, gentle......Diglett! For only three hundred sixty smackeroos!" He then bend down to whisper to his partner, "Even though we caught them at the Diglett place right here in Hoenn." They both laughed as Matthias looked on. Three hundred dollars for a pokemon is ridiculous. And to make matters worst, it is not even rare. Matthias knows a place in Hoenn where he can find Digletts or even Dugtrios right here in Hoenn. What Matthias hate most is people cheating others. He walked to the counter and saw a girl with orange hair, wearing spectacles and a low cut blouse. She spoke to Matthias. "Do you want a Diglett?" She asked. Matthias replied loudly. "Not if they are caught in Hoenn!" Matthias released a Diglett. "See! This Diglett is larger than the ones found in Kanto!" The crowd looked confused. The women stood on top the counter, showing her Mini-skirt. "We caught this from Kanto! Hoenn has no Digletts twerp!" She argued. Matthias took out his pokedex and punched in Diglett's ID. It read. 'Diglett, the ground type mole pokemon. The original sized Digletts in Kanto are smaller but the migrating batch that came to Hoenn grew larger due to the food berries available in Hoenn.' The crowd were furious. They mobbed the two angrily. They removed a pokeball logo on their pocket to reveal another logo with the words 'TA' "Team Aqua will run with your money so bye bye! Horsea! Smokescreen!" The male sent out his water seahorse. "We'll get you twerp!" His voice faded as the crowd choked with smoke all around them. There were angry and disappointed faces in the crowd. "Well, I tried." Matthias told his sister. They walked out of Petalburg into petalburg forest. Matthias started looking for a pokemon right away. "Any particular pokemon you are searching for bro?" Ashley asked. He shook his head. Then, Ashley felt a tug on her shirt, felt a plank hit her down and she got dragged into the grass with her mouth gagged. "Hey sis. Do you happen to..." Matthias looked around but there was no sign of his sister. "Sis? Sis! Ashley!" Matthias frantically started looking for his beloved sister. Then he saw his sister's Minun coming from the grass. "What happened Minun?" Minun started speaking something but Matthias don't understand it's explaination. Pulsle joined in and understood and started acting it out. It took a stick from the floor and started acting like a salesperson. It drew a table on the floor. Matthias started guessing. "A teacher?" Matthias guessed. Pulsle shook it's head. "It took an empty pokeball and drew a Diglett on the floor. It put the pokball near it. "The salespeople at Petalburg!" Pulsle nodded. It then hit Minun on the head. It pretended to faint as Pulsle tried to carry the mouse pokemon away, but falling in the proccess. Matthias knew what it meant and yelled out. "Pulsle, minun, cut the act and let's go! Ashley needs us!" "Pul.... Plusle!" Pulsle yelled. ''Nun, Minun, Minun!" It said as it shot out little static bolts from it's cheeks. Chapter 4: The Rescue Ashley slowly opened her eyes. She was tied to a tree. Then a girl appeared from behind a tree. "Hi you girl." She said. It was salesgirl at Petalburg Town. "What do you want with me?" Ashley yelled, tears rolled down her eyes. "Nothing, It's your brother we want." She said as her male partner stepped forward. She went and unbuttoned the part of Ashley's shirt. "You're a beautiful girl you know, you need to show it." She then rubbed the now exposed part of Ashley's chest. "There. Beautiful." Then Matthias burst out of the bushes. "Let her go!" Matthias yelled. The team did not look shocked at all. "Oh no! Her bodyguard!" The girl said. "Help me Josh!" "Sure Joyce." He pounced at Matthias. Matthias doudged it and saw two water pokemon standing infront of him. "Poliwrath, Starmie, get him!" Joyce yelled. They blasted Matthias with water. He flew back hard and hit a tree bark. Then He ordered his electric pokemon partners to attack. Josh was still using psysical attacks on Matthias. He tried to round him up in his rope. Matthias ran quickly round a tree, grabbed one end of thew rope and punched Josh hard on his face. He whirled and went dizzy. Matthias quickly tied him around the tree. "Pulsle, Minun, electric charge than mega spark attack!" The electric pokemon charged up and shot two balls of electricity and it combined en route to their target. The large round ball stuck both water pokemon hard as they fainted onto the floor. Joyce, was too, caught up in the electric shock and dropped to the ground. Matthias buttoned up his sisters shirt and left. ****** "Whew. You saved me bro. Thanks." She kissed him on his cheeks. "No problem. What are siblings for?" Matthias said. They walked to a nice riverbank and thought it would be a nice place to rest. They set up tent and rested for the night. ****** Josh returned to reality after a Swellow dropped some of it's droppings into his widely open mouth. He was struggling with his ropes when his noise woke up a swarm of sleepping Beedrills. He kicked a stone to wake up Joyce. She yelled. "Can't you see I'm having a nap?" No time for naps, untie me before the Beedrills....." The Beedrills buzz cut of the sentence but a loud scream could be heard from Petalburg Town. Some citizens started to speak. "Hope those were the cheaters that cheated us." "Yah. They deserved to be hit back for what they did." Chapter 5: The Mysterious Psychic Pokemon Matthias and Ashley were making a decend to the bottom of the waterfall when the water of the river suddenly extended to where they were climbing. Matthias and Ashley was washed down into the river below. ***** Matthias woke up to find himself in a cave surrounded by a herd of Pokemon. With fire coming from it's tail. It had a horn on it's head. Matthias reached for his pokedex but it was not there. He spotted it with his backpack and his pokeballs at a corner but it was around a fire. He was trapped in a cave with a opening above. I must have fallen in. He thought. He looked at his pokeballs. He should try to make it across the pokemon without much harm but he saw the pokeball heating up. The heat is melting it. Should he make the wrong move and take too long, the pokeball will be jammed and his pokemon locked forever. ***** Ashley woke up with a small tear on her shirt, exposing a small part of her body. She looked around for her brother but saw him nowhere. She then recalled her fall. She fell apart from her brother. 'I've got to find him.' She told herself. ***** Matthias decided to make a run for his pokeballs. He took a few steps and yelled. "Arggh!" The fire pokemon moved in startle and he reached Mudkip's pokeball. He tried to release it but he was too late it was already jammed. "Damn!" He yelled. "Sis! Where are you!" ***** "Hey no! Comeback! Pokeball go!" She threw her pokeball but missed a Squritle. "Oh! Drats." Then a voice sounded in her head. She turned and saw a scary but also cute pokemon. It was yellow and had a tail with eyes and a mouth. She checked her pokedex. 'Mawile, the psychic pokemon. This pokemon tend to be hard to find and even harder to capture. It is rumored that one out of a hundred Mawile is fated to be with a trainer from birth.' "Don't tell me you're fated to my brother.'' It nodded. It said using psychic. "Than let's go!" Ashley said. Full of determination to save her brother. She entered the cave to see a whole herd of Charmeleon around her defenceless brother. "Go Hoothoot!" Ashley called out. Hoothoot flew into action. Mawile used it's psychic moves. But they were too many Charmeleon. Then, the whole room filled with smoke. Ashley coughed as she felt her rising to the sky. She landed hard on her butt and looked to see a Meowth balloon. Matthias was unconcious next to his bagpack and pokeballs. "Bro!" Ashley crawled to her brother's side. He opened his eyes. "Bro!" She said in tears of joy and hugged him. "Isn't it nice. The pokemon siblings." Ashley saw a blue haired male and a red haired girl. Both with a 'R' on their whiteT-shirt. "Thank you so very much! We're so grateful. Who are you guys!" Ashley asked curiously. They smiled to each other and they nodded. "To protect the world from devestation." The female said. "To unite all people within our nation." The male continued. "To denounce the evils of truth and love." She said, swinging her red hair. "To extend our reach to the stars above." The blue haired guy added. "Jessie." Said the red haired girl. "James." Continued her partner. "Team Rocket is here but it's time to blast of once again." Jessie said. "Take care of one another or we'll be back!" James yelled. "Meowth, that's so very true!" A talking Meowth came out to conclude the motto as their hot-aired balloon disappeared into the sky. "Wow! That's a cool pokemon you have there." Matthias said. Ashley shook her head. "This pokemon is yours. It's fated." Ashley replied. Mawile took out all his pokeballs and repaired them in a blink of it's two pairs of eyes. One in front and another at the back. "Cool!" Mawile entered one pokeball and came out. Matthias was stunnes with it's psychic but nooded in the end. Hoping to get use to his new pokemon. "Then as they packed and left, Ashley was startled by a small rough fish struggling on the ground. It was probably sent to land during the water incident. "Ah!" She leapped into Matthias but dropped an empty pokeball she was cleaning on the useless pokemon. It barely shook. "Oh no....." Ashley felt like crying. She had wasted a pokeball on a useless pokemon. Matthias checked his pokedex. 'Feebas, the small fish pokemon......................................................." Matthias nodded at the description and smiled. It's about time Ashley got a water pokemon. He thought and laughed. Then he felt a backpack hit him. "What so funny!!!!!!!!!" Ashley screamed. Matthias went to ground and said. "Nothing." Mawile laughed out, sounding something like "Maaaawwieeeeeeeeeeee."
