Ash's Paldea Story

Chapter 38 Hoenn Fair Part 1

(Monday)

Lillie and I spend a day at Porto Marinada the whole Sunday as relaxation, and we decide to go back to school this morning, but before that, I decide to do something that I was not happy to do... capturing Tauros.

"So you're capturing the Tauros again even though you already trade away 29 of them." Lillie says.

"Yeah... because Tauros has 3 Regional Variants in the Paldea Region..." I mutter. "I don't know why I'm going to do this again... I just hope those three are not going to be like the rest who like to trample me.

Tauros (Paldean Form, Combat Breed): Wild Bull Pokemon: Fighting Type. This Pokémon has a muscular body and excels at close-quarters combat. It uses its short horns to strike the opponent's weak spots.

Tauros (Paldean Form, Blaze Breed): Wild Bull Pokemon: Fighting and Fire Type. When heated by fire energy, its horns can get hotter than 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Those gored by them will suffer both wounds and burns.

Tauros (Paldean Form, Aqua Breed): Wild Bull Pokemon: Fighting and Water Type. It swims by jetting water from its horns. The most notable characteristic of the Aqua Breed is its high body fat, which allows it to float easily.

After catching the three Pokemon, I say, "Well, I just hope those three aren't going to trample me. Anyway, let's head back since we're going to do the Hoenn Fair."

"You're right." Lillie says with a smile as we all head back.

Nemona notices us and asks, "So what did you guys get for today?"

"We got three Tauros." I say. "Each with a different breed, they can only be found at West Province Area 2."

"Interesting... anyway, since you two are here, do you mind helping me with the stands, we're going to have the Hoenn Festival for today."

"Sure. We can help."

After helping out the stands, we decide to go back to Biology Class, and this time Professor Jacq is teaching us Pokemon Evolution, and it is actually the topic I have been asking him a lot before the Mid-Term Exam.

(Tuesday)

We get to have Professor Tyme's Math Class today, and she's teaching us the mathematics of Stat Boosts, this one is interesting because each Pokemon move has a base power and that base power is affected by the Type of the Pokemon.

And in the afternoon, Professor Raifort's History Class really gets my attention: The Four Ruinous Treasures. It is actually a fairy tale about the treasure-collecting king, who receives four items from the East: A vessel, a sword, a set of tablets, and a set of beads. After explaining what each treasure can do, she also tells us that the night that the king gets the treasure, a terrible disaster causes the castle to be reduced to rubble by dawn.

And since it is filled with mystery, so Lillie and I decide to ask her about it.

"It is really convenient that you would take the bait I presented in class. A vessel, a sword, a set of tablets, and a set of beads... After obtaining these four treasures, the king's castle was destroyed. Why, you ask? Because these four treasures were actually four Pokemon! All these Pokemon were passed from human hand to human hand as treasures, they slowly become tainted by hubris and greed. Finally, after coming in contact with the rapacity of the king at that time, they awakened as disasters and began to rampage out of control. The king called for renowned Pokemon wielders to defend the country and, after a fierce battle, these incarnations of disaster were quelled. It is said that these four Pokemon were then sealed away somewhere in Paldea."
