What's in a Name?

PokéWars
Clan Caterpie

    Last time, Icy, InsaneLlama, and Tauras found themselves in Lavender Town, home of the Pokémon Tower.  After Icy caught a new Gastly, the group headed to see the Name Changer in Lavender Town.  And now...

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

    Icy opened the door and they walked in.  A strange looking man greeted them.
    "Welcome friends!  I am the Name Changer of Lavender Town.  Do you have pokémon you'd like to have named or renamed.  Icy stepped forward.
    "I do," he said into the translator.  The Name Changer, like others, was very shocked to see a talking Pikachu.  Nevertheless, he agreed to give new names to all of Icy's pokémon.  Icy dumped all his pokéballs onto the table. The table was half covered; Icy had captured a lot of pokémon.  The first pokemon he pulled out was Abra.
    "What name would you like your Abra to have?"  Icy thought about it for a minute.  He wanted to give his pokemon very special names.
    "Hocus," replied Icy.  Abra grinned in acceptance.   The Name Changer did some special things for Hocus and his pokeball and he was finished.  Now, Icy sent out his Pidgey.  He had seen it since he captured it.   "I'll name you Windstorm."  Windstorm flapped its small wings with delight.  Icy pulled out the next pokeball.
    He continued naming his pokemon.  He named his Oddish, Leafy; his Nidoran, Pin; his Caterpies, Michelle, Moni, Sunshine, Lilly, Wiggler, Suctioncup, Sandy, Dill, Verde, Buggy; his Pikachu, Static; his Horsea, Neptune; his Porygon, Cyber; his Butterfree, Buttercup; his Dratini, Hyper; and Gastly, Vapor.  "That's all of them!"  Icy put each of the pokeballs back in his pack.
    After Icy changed his pokemons' names Tauras walked up to the name-changer.  He called out his Jolteon.  "Hi, could I rename these pokemon? The Jolteon will be Jolt, and the Poliwrath will be H20" said Tauras.   The name-changer nodded his head, and began to work on the pokemon.  Tauras set his backpack down and began to watch.  Icy was fiddling with his Porygon, so   he didn't notice the 2 dark figures walking in.  One of them opened Tauras's backpack, and took Tauras's pokeballs.  They put the pokeballs in a bag and ran.   Nobody noticed what happened.  The Rockets ran off with the bag, when they were by Mr. Fuji's doorway they were stopped by a man.
    "Hey, would you 2 like to buy the best pokemon in the world?" asked the man.  "Uh, what is it?" asked one of the Rockets.   "It's the King of Karp, Magikarp!  No pokedex's either!" replied the man.  "Sure, we'll take it!" replied the Rocket.  They were too exited to notice that they left the bag at Mr. Fuji's house, and ran off.  Mr. Fuji opened the door, and took the pokeballs.  They would be in good hands there.  Back at the Name-Changers house he had just finished.  Tauras thanked him, and they left.   Tauras reached into his backpack for a pokeball, but didn't find anything.   "WHAT THE????" yelled Tauras.  "What?" asked Icy.   "Sombody stole my pokeballs!" yelled Tauras.  "Team Rocket?" asked InsaneLlama.  "Crap.." said Tauras.  "Well, I guess that means I'm starting over….Well at least I got you guys, Jolt and H20" said Tauras reluctantly.  The group began to head towards the pokecenter.
