[OLD] Luna Mew Light Kanto Journey

Chapter 20: The Indigo League!!

The gang were nearly at Indigo Plateau.

"So Lu," Misty said, "how far do you think you'll get in the Indigo League?"

"Well, um, not sure really. I would like to win it," Luna said, "but I do know that trying to win the League isn't easy. So I just hope I can at least make it through the Preliminary rounds. I guess."

"You'll be great big sister." Tomo said.

Luna smiled and hug Tomo in gratitude for the encouragement.

Misty and Brock smiled, 'Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if you won it.' They both thought.

Just then they approached a large fanfare and people with flags.

"What's going on?" Luna asked curiously.

"They must be waiting for the Torch Bearer." Misty answered.

"Torch Bearer?" Luna said, "Oh wait that's someone who runs to the Indigo League Stadium, with a flaming torch, and lights up a huge flame that burns during the entire Pokémon League Competition, am I right?"

"That is correct Lu," Brock said, "and the flame is supposed to be a form of inspiration for the competitors. They also say that the flame is supposed to be of a Moltres."

"Moltres? You mean Legendary Bird of Fire Moltres?" Luna asked.

Brock nodded.

Moltres is a large, avian Pokémon with orange or golden plumage. It has a long, flowing head crest and a billowing tail, both made of flames. Additionally, its wings are also shrouded in fiery plumage. Its straight, pointed beak is brown, as are its anisodactyl feet. It has short talons.

Moltres, the Flame Pokémon.
It is known as the Legendary Bird of Fire and it is said that its appearance indicates the coming of spring
- Moltres is also known as the Legendary Bird of Kanto.

"What an amazing Pokémon!" Luna exclaimed happily, "Oh, I wish that I could be the Torch Bearer."

"Excuse me young lady," said a voice behind her, "but did you say what you want to be a Torch Bearer?"

The gang turned round and saw an old man in a car.

"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Luna asked the Old Man.

An Officer Jenny spoke up, "This is the Honorable Charles Goodshow, President of the Pokémon League Torch Committee."

Luna and the gang greeted Mr Goodshow.

Luna walked up to Mr Goodshow and told him that she would like to be a Torch Bearer.

Mr Goodshaw smiled, "And you shall too," he said, "you have the spirit kid. And if your friends want to join, they may."

"Well guys." Luna looked at them, "What do you say?" She asked.

"I want to run with the torch too." Tomo said excitedly.

"I would like that as well." Misty said happily.

"It's a once in a life time opportunity." Brock said with a smile.

So Luna, Tomo, Misty and Brock got to run with the torch.

First Luna had a run, with Pichu and Pikachu.

Then it was Tomo, with Growlithe, then Misty, with Togepi on her shoulder, and then Brock, with Vulpix. Until at last, they reached the stadium.

Brock handed the torch to Mr Goodshaw, who invites the gang to come to the opening ceremony of the Pokémon League that was tomorrow.
