Sorry about last week (and Redetis, that sucked) but I was banned from the computer. But here's chapter 3!
Discaimer: No, I don't own Pokémon. If I did I'd be rolling on the moolah.
Chapter 3
Ribeka
I stared at the scene before me with amusement. It WAS funny to see Sand look ashamed and Nozomi so…. Knocked out. I giggled before realizing I was out in the open. Crap, I thought to myself, realizing I could be caught I looked around and found a bunch of trees. It could work… I considered the idea. I walked over to the trees, slightly shaking. I had never climbed one before. I gulped. I channeled my inner Eipam and scrambled up the tree, less than gracefully.
Nozomi
I opened my eyes. “Hey,” I started to ask, “What time is it?”
“About noon,” Jolt-kun replied, “You were out for quite a bit.” I scrambled up.
“Ack! We only have,” I started to count on my fingers, “8 hours before sunset!”
“’Only’? We have plenty of time,” Jolt-kun said, “Don’t you think we should look our Pokémon up? We don’t actually know anything about them.”
“Good point. Do you think Denkou might’ve revived?”
“Maybe,”
“Well, you go first, just in case,”
He shrugged. “Sure,” he grabbed the Monster Ball off of his backpack, “Come out, Fushigidane!” he threw the ball into the air and the red and white ball opened up, white light quickly becoming the Pokémon. It was dinosaur looking, and down on four legs. It had blue-green skin with spots of green. Its eyes were red and it had little fangs. But the weirdest feature of the Pokémon was the Green bulb on its back.
“Fushi!” it cried before looking at us in confusion, “Fushi?”
“Hello, Fushigidane!” Jolt-kun said, smiling, “I’m your trainer, Sand!”
Fushigidane cocked its head to the side. He sniffed Jolt-kun, becoming a bit more confused, but seemed to finally decide that Jolt-kun was alright. “Fushigidane,” it said, extending one of its vines. Jolt-kun grabbed it and shook it, like you would a hand. He pulled out his Zukan and scanned the bulbed Pokémon.
“Fushigidane,” a female voice began, “The Seed Pokémon. For some time after its birth, it grows by gaining nourishment from the seed on its back.”
Jolt-kun was still looking at the Zukan. “It says that Fushigidane is male, a grass/posion type, has a Timid nature, and knows Tackle, Growl, Leech Seed, and Vine Whip. Not a bad move set…” He looked at me. “Your turn,” he said.
I reached into my bag and grabbed Denkou’s Monster Ball. “Go, Denkou!” I yelled, missing a great chance to make an awesome catchphrase. The yellow Pokémon came out, injured, but awake.
“Pi…” it said, a little angry that it was let out. I pulled out my Zukan and quickly scanned it.
“Pichu,” the encyclopedia began, “The Tiny Mouse Pokémon. It plays with others by touching tails and setting of sparks. This appears to be a test of courage.” It immediately switched to a new screen, showing me things like Denkou’s gender, current attacks, and nature.
“It says here that Denkou is female, an electric type, has an Adamant nature, and knows Thundershock, Charm, Volt Tackle, and Nasty Plot. Doesn’t seem too bad either,” I replied. I looked at Denkou. She had gone to Fushigidane and was talking to him. That’s weird… I thought to myself, Denkou is normally very anti-social… I smiled. Maybe she just likes Pokémon better than humans.
“Come on!” I yelled, “Let’s get going!”
Ribeka
They FINALLY started to move. Unfortunately for me, I had no idea how to get from tree-to-tree. Well… Maybe I could swing from tree-to-tree, Eipam style! I rubbed my hands together and swung. I landed in the next tree. Luckily, it was Pokémon free. Thanking Arceus, I kept on doing it, until Nozomi-tachi stopped.
Nozomi
We had come across a Koratta. Not a big deal, right? Except we didn’t know who would battle it. “You battle it!” I insisted, “That way you can get more used to working with Fushigidane!”
“No, you!” Jolt-kun augured back, “Ladies first after all!”
“Jolt-kun, don’t make me push you in there.”
“You wouldn’t.”
“I would.” He glared at me.
“Fine,” he said, “But you battle the next Pokémon.” Amazingly, the Koratta had not run off, but instead looked amused at our fighting. “Let’s start this, Fushigidane!” he called and Fushigidane walked in front of him. The Koratta now seemed to tense up, purple fur brisling, and go into a battle stance. “Use Growl!” Jolt-kun called.
The Seed Pokémon looked at the Koratta and let out a cute little growl. It melted my heart! The Koratta became less tense. It wagged its curled purple tail cutely in the air. You know, maybe wild Pokémon aren’t so dangerous after all… I thought to myself. I was snapped out of my thoughts when Jolt-kun called the next move.
“Use Leech Seed!” he called. Fushigidane pointed his bulb at the purple rat. A small brown seed was shot out of it, landed on the Koratta’s forehead and immediately sprouted light green vines, entwining the rat’s head. The Koratta ran to Fushigidane and tackled him. By the time it came off of him, however, it bent over in pain as the vines spread and sucked health away from it. Any damage caused by the Tackle faded away as Fushigidane absorbed health from the Koratta.
“Use Vine Whip!” Jolt-kun called out. Before Fushigidane could attack, however, the Koratta had tackled him. After the rat had leapt off, Fushigidane let out the vine from before along with a new one and raised them in the air. Suddenly, he quickly brought them down, striking the Koratta. It almost fainted from that hit, but as the Leech Seed once again took effect, it fainted after Fushigidane had absorbed its health.
“Good job, Fushigidane,” he said walking toward the Bulb Pokémon and rubbing Fushigidane's head, “Let’s keep moving,” he said to me after standing up.
“Right,” I said as I nodded. We started to walk again.

As we walked into Toiwa City, I was tired but happy. This was were I had found Denkou, and where I had often gone on trips to on the weekends. But when I looked down, I saw Denkou tense up and show an emotion I had never seen on since I found her. Fear. “Hey, Denkou,” I asked, “What’s wrong?” She looked up at me.
“Pichu, Pi,” she said matter-of-factly, crossing her stubby arms. I shrugged and held out her Monster Ball. “Denkou, return,” I said, pressing the button.
“Why did you return her?” Jolt-kun asked.
“I thought it would be easier to give her to the nurse like that.”
“Good point.”
“Are you going to return Fushigidane?” He shrugged.
“Might as well,” he replied. Like me he held out Fushigidane’s ball. “Return,” he said as he pressed the button on the Monster Ball.
We walked into the Pokémon Center. A pink haired, blue eyed woman in a nurse’s outfit looked up. “Hello!” she said with a smile, “You must be two of the starting trainers, yes?” We nodded and walked towards the desk. “Good, good! I’m Nurse Joi and welcome to Toiwa City! Do you need your Pokémon to be healed?” We nodded again. “Okay then! Just hand me the Pokémon you need healed’s Monster Ball.” Jolt-kun unclipped Fushigidane’s Monster Ball and put it on the counter. I reached into my bag and pulled out Denkou’s. I put it on the counter as well. “Are you two going to spend the night here or continue onto Nibi City?”
“I think we’ll stay here for the night,” I replied.
“Okay then!” she said, “The cafeteria is over there,” she pointed to her right, “And the rooms are upstairs. Your room is 222,” she said handing Jolt-kun the key, “Wait there while I heal your Pokémon,” she said pointing to the chairs along the wall behind us.
Jolt-kun and I sat down.
“Hey, Zomi-chan,” he began.
“Yeah?”
“I get a bad vibe about this place. I don’t know WHY either.” I looked at him.
“Weird.”
“Yeah.”

AN:Yes, I know that Pichus learn Nasty Plot last. But it fis Denkou, no?
