With Cyndaquil out of his pokeball, we both waited in the emergency room, watching Trever and Mareep resting on the bed. Nusre Joy came it with Chansey, and they both looked worried. "Nurse Joy! Will they be all right?" "Well I only specialize in pokemon, not people, Shank." I began to feel bad inside. I shouldn't have left Trever alone. I knew something was up with this town. "But I think that both of them just need some rest. I know for sure Mareep will be ok, since we treated it. I think Trever will need some rest, and he'll be good as new." "That's good to hear." We just stood, until I needed to ask her something. "Nurse Joy?" "Yes?" "Do you know why so many kids are getting hurt today?" "I don't know what's happening, but everyone who came in kept mentioning the lake. Maybe you should ask them what's going on." "That seems good." Follow me." I followed Nurse Joy out of the room, and into a bigger one, filled with her kids, along with their pokemon. I just heard the groaning and cries of all these kids in pain. Nurse joy led me to a boy with a cap, who was caring for his damaged Ledyba. "Damien, here, has been the first one to get hurt. Due to that, he's been recovering. He must be healthy enough to talk about what happened." Damien raised his head. "Hello." "Damien?" "Yes, Nurse Joy?" "This is Shank." "Hi, Shank." "Hi." "He wants to know what happened to you." "Ok."
I took a seat next to Damien, ready to hear out his story. "Well, me and my friends were outside, ready to catch some pokemon near the lake. We were planning on getting a Krabby or Corsola. We were getting no bites, and my friends were getting pretty bored. We left to go somewhere else, but I heard a noise behind a bunch of boulders. I told my friends I would catch up with them. I went to see what was hidden behind those large boulders, and what I saw was just horrible. I knew why no water pokemon were biting. They were captured in a giant orb, and I didn't like how the pokemon were bunched up together. I brought out my pal, Ledyba, to help me free those pokemon. He used comet punch so many times, but the orb wouldn't break. Then I heard a command behind me, and when I turned around, I was hit by a beam of light." "Then what happened?" "I was knocked out. When I woke up, I was in the middle of town, with a crowd surrounding me. I looked to my side, seeing Ledyba hurt. I quickly got the strenght to pick him up, and carried him to the pokemon center. Now here I am, trying to take care of him." I looked over to Ledyba, who looked he had trouble breathing. I got up from my seat, and was heading out for the door. Nurse Joy was worried. "Shank, where are you going?" "To find our who's responsible for all this." "Please, Shank! I don't need anymore injured people." "Don't worry. I'll be fine. What could possible happen?" I walked out of the center, feeling confident and thinking I can fix this mess.
Me and Cyndaquil were standing in the sandy area, looking for those boulders. "There they are, Cyndaquil!" I pointed over to two giant boulders, big enough for something to be hidden. "Let's go." I began to walk over there, but Cyndaquil wouldn't make a move. "What's wrong?" "Cyndaquil! Cynda!" I think I had a thought what he was saying. "Look, if your scared, then you can just stay here." Cyndaquil moved back to the grassy area. I need his help, whether he liked it or not. "Ok, but I'm doing this for the kids, who'd probably give the hero some reward for such bravery..." Cyndaquil came running back to my side. "That's the spirit. Now let's get ot the bottom of this." "Cynda!" We walked over to the boulders, checking our surroundings, until we saw it. We saw the giant orb containing all those water pokemon. "Cyndaquil. Try to use tackle on a certain spot." "Cynda." Cyndaquil started to bang his head at the contraption. He kept tryingand trying, but not a single scratch was implanted. "Just like Damien said." I kept watching Cyndaquil use tackle until I saw a reflection. It was a pink pokemon and a person in it. "Espeon, use Psybeam! " "Cyndaquil, move!" We both moved out of the way from the beam of light. We looked at who did it, and just found two stranger with two pokemon.
Cyndaquil came over to me, trying to help me pick myself up. "Thanks." I looked back at the strangers. One of them was the woman I ran into back into the pokemart. "Who are you?" "We're the baddest of the bad. The best of the best. We're..." The took of their coats and hats. They were in uniform. They were two blondes, who looked exactly the same. " I'm Judy." "And I'm Trudy." "And we're the mischievous twins. We capture pokemon and returned them back to base." "Well, what's the base's name?" "We've said enough, already. And you have seen too much. Espeon, get ready for battle!" Espeon looked very fierce. Trudy brought out her pokeball. "Let's go, Umbreon!" She let out the dark version of Eevee. "Espeon, use Psybeam!" "Umbreon, use Faint attack!" Both of the twins pokemon came straight for Cyndaquil. "Cyndaquil, use smokescreen!" The area became cloudy, and Cyndaquil merged into the shadows. "Now use ember!" Cyndaquil spurted his flames, and burned Espeon. "You good, kid. But not good enough to beat us." "That's right, Judy." "Thanks. Now Espeon, use helping hand!" "And Umbreon, use Pursuit!" Espeon was giving power to Umbreon, then Umbreon striked Cyndaquil with Pursuit. "Cynda!" I could see that Cyndaquil was getting hurt. They both talked on the same line. "Now use Psybeam and Faint Attack!" I knew this was going to be good for both me and Cyndaquil. We thought we were finished until someone called out an attack. "Scizor, use X-scissor!" Then a bright red Scizor came out of the blue and sliced both Epseon and Umbreon. They both got hit back to their trainers. I looked at the side, seeing the guide guy lending me a helping hand.
"Guide guy! What are you doing here?" "I heard some battleing behind here, and I wanted to see what was going on. Shank, you should have ran. These girls look like trouble." "I know, but the pokemon. I couldn't have let them be captured." "Leave this to me." The tiwns looked ready for more battling, but a ring set off. Judy grabbed a phone from her pocket. "Yes?" ... "Really? But we're just about to bring these pokemon and-" ...! "Fine. We'll be there." She hanged up. "Sorry, you annoyances, but we got to split." "Oh, no! Your not leaving! We're not finished yet." "Until next time, losers." Then threw a dark orb, and a smokescreen surrounded us while they escaped. "Let's find them!" "Not now." I turned to the guide. "They need our help." I looked over to the pokemon, still trapped in the ball. "Scizor, use X-scissor!" "Cyndaquil, use tackle!" Our pokemon used their attacks at once, and because of that, the ball cracked. The pokemon flowed with the water, and back into the lake. "Looks like everything's back to normal." "Who are you?" "None of that matters. Right now, you got to get back to the pokemon center. You friend must be waiting for you." "Oh, yeah. I forgot about Trever. Thanks." "One more thing." "Yeah?" "Don't say that I helped." "Um. Sure." I ran through the boulders, looking back to see the guide guy handshake his pokemon.
When I got to the pokemon center, I saw Trever and Mareep on one of the couches, looking as healthy as ever. "Shank!" We both knuckle-touched. "Dude, where've you been?" "I went to see what the problem was." "What? What happened?" "They're gone now, with a little help." I remember the promise I made to the guide guy. "Well at least Mareep is feeling much better now." I saw our two pokemon happily playing with each other. "Well you ready to go? We got a long way till we get to violet city." "Sure." We thanked Nurse Joy for the help, and walked out of the pokemon center, where the guide guy was standing out for us. "Hey, its the guide guy!" "What are you doing here?" "I just wanted to escort you guys to route 30. He lead us to the open route, seeing it was a long path. "Just follow this, and you'll be in Violet City in no time." "Thanks! Let's go Mareep." Trever and Mareep left into the grass, starting out the journey. "Before you move, Shank," He went back into his pocket. "Here's some more money." I opened the wrapper once again, revealing 5000 pokemoney. "Wow. Thanks." "Just be careful. I have a feeling those tiwns will be back, and I won't be there to back you up." "Don't worry. I'll get stronger." "You better, or else you'll wind up losing your pokemon." "The next time I see them, they'll be asking for it." "That's good to hear." "Shank!" I looked over to Trever. "Come on, man! Let's go!" I turned to the guide guy. "Well. Thanks for the help, guide-" "Please. Call me Frank." "Ok, Frank. See you." "Good luck at the violet gym."
(After solving the problem of the mischievous tiwns and returning the water pokemon back into the fishing area, Shank and Trever continued on their journey, on their way to violet city, and the Violet city gym leader.)
