Last time, Icy found a crowd of Oddishes and managed to capture
one. After healing it at the pokécenter, he began thinking about what
to do with Abra. And now...
--== In The Hall
Of The Dugtrio King ==--
by IcyPikachu [Icy]
The sun rose in a spectacular display on the Vermilion Harbor. Icy
woke up, had breakfast at the local diner, then set out for the cave.
"I hope I get a chance to capture a Diglett or Dugtrio," Icy said with
confidence. He entered the caves. They were slightly dark but someone
had placed light every 25 meters throughout the cave. Icy looked around
but didn't see any pokémon. Then, right under him, a Diglett zipped
by. It was followed by another Diglett, then Icy felt the cave
rumbling. He ducked into a side cavern as hundreds of Digletts rushed
by. "Let's follow them!" he said to Abra. They followed the Digletts
through some winding tunnels until they came to a large open cavern.
There, in the middle of all the Digletts, was a large Dugtrio. It was
much larger than any of the other Digletts. "Wow, would you look at
that. They look like they're praising the Dugtrio." Icy really wanted
to capture a Diglett or two, and that Dugtrio was very tempting. He
decided to have Abra use its confusion attack on the Digletts the same
way he did with the Oddishes. He hadn't taken more than two steps when
he suddenly heard two voices ring out.
"Prepare for trouble!" "Make that double!" It
was two members of
Team Rocket. "These Digletts belong to us!"
"No, you guys can't have them!"
"Why not. They're open to the public."
"As far as I'm concerned, theives don't belong in the
public."
"That's it squirt! We don't have time to listen to your
stupid
remarks. We're taking these pokémon back to the boss and there's
nothing you can do to stop us. Bwa ha ha ha!" they laughed. Icy
reaches for Abra's pokéball.
"Oh yeah, I challenge you. If you want those Digletts, you
gotta
get through me first!" he shouts.
"Whatever boy, it's your funeral! Go Grimer! Sludge attack
now!"
Grimer jumps out of his pokéball and fires a massive ball of sludge in
Icy's direction.
"Go Abra! Use reflect then counter with a confusion
attack!" Abra
reflects the sludge at Grimer then uses confusion. The Grimer tries to
use another sludge attack on Abra but it backfires, blinding it.
"Drat, Grimer return! Your turn!" he says to his female
teammate.
"I won't fail! Kid, prepare for the beating of a lifetime! Go
Machop!" She throws the pokéball releasing Machop.
"Ha! What a fool. Now I know why no one is afraid of Team
Rocket.
Abra, confusion!" Abra uses its confusion attack on the Machop and it
knocks itself out with one swing. (@_@)
"CRAP. All right kid, you win this time. You'll be
sorry!" She
recalls Machop and the two flee.
"Whatever Team Rocket," he shouts watching them run. The
Digletts
crowd around him and start chanting, "Dig..diglett..dig." "Abra, what
did they say?" Then, the big Dugtrio moves toward Icy.
"Trio..Dug..Triodug..dug..dugtrio..trio"
"Abra, what do it say?" he asked Abra again.
"Aaabraaa..aaa..bbb..rrr..aaa..."
Somehow, it makes sense to Icy. The Dugtrio, in honor of Icy
protecting all the Digletts from Team Rocket, wishes to join Icy on his
quest. Icy joyfully accepts and had Dugtrio go into one of his
pokéballs. Abra returns to its pokéball as well and Icy continues
through the cave.
Finally, he sees the light at the end of the cave. As he exits, he
can see the dense Viridian Forest. Icy suddenly remembers that the
Viridian Forest is home to many Caterpie (Icy has an unusual affection
towards these cute, little bugs). But he and his pokémon are very tired
from their hike and he hurries to the pokécenter.
"Nurse Joy!"
"Yes, I'm Nurse Joy. Can I help you with something..."
"Wait a sec, weren't you just in Vermilion City?" Icy,
just like
any other new trainer, is confused by the Joy twins.
"Oh, that's my sister-in-law. We all look alike!"
"Wow, that's really neat...Mmmmmm...Can you heal my
pokémon?"
"Certainly!" She takes Icy's pokémon and he sits on a
bench to
wait. A few minutes later, she returns with his pokémon. "You should
be careful, I just got work from the police that Team Rocket is nearby."
"I just beat the crap out of two of them. They're push-overs.
But
thanks for the warning." He leaves south. His destination, Pallet
Town.
