Ash's Paldea Story

Chapter 42 Johto Fair Part 1

(Monday)

Since our next goal is going to be the Ghost Type Gym in Montenevera, Lillie and I decide to find a Ghost Type Pokemon so we can battle against her. Our search leads us to East Province Area 3 and we find some tumbleweed Pokemon that seem to be a Ghost Type. With Ceruledge's help, we manage to capture the Pokemon in the end.

Bramblin: The Tumbleweed Pokémon: Grass and Ghost Type. A soul unable to move on to the afterlife was blown around by the wind until it got tangled up with dried grass and became a Pokémon.

"That is a terrifying description..." Lillie says. "A soul unable to move on to the afterlife? That is horrifying."

"Well, Honedge has the same kind of description." I sigh. "Yamask as well."

"Yeah... but it will help us with the Ghost Type Gym for sure. And look at this ability! It has Wind Rider. It boosts the Pokémon's Attack stat if Tailwind takes effect or if the Pokémon is hit by a wind move. The Pokémon also takes no damage from wind moves."

"Seriously? How many wind moves are there actually?" Lillie asks. "I remember that Kilowattrel has a similar ability..."

"Most of them are Flying Types, which makes it better." I say.

And by running with the Pokemon for over 1000 steps and leveling up just like we did to Pawmot, it evolves into a bigger Tumbleweed Pokemon.

Brambleghast: The Tumbleweed Pokémon: Grass and Ghost Type. Evolve from Bramblin when leveled up while outside of its Poké Ball after walking 1000 steps using the Let's Go feature. It will open the branches of its head to envelop its prey. Once it absorbs all the life energy it needs, it expels the prey and discards it.

"What's with Ghost Type Pokemon liking to suck other Pokemon's life force?" Lillie asks with a sweatdrop.

"I don't know..." I sigh. "Professor Jacq really is full of imagination."

"And what's with the amount of Ghost and Grass Type Pokemon? We already have Trevenant, Gourgeist, Decidueye, and Dhelmise." Lillie says.

"Who knows..." I sigh.

(Tuesday)

After class, we decide to relax outside of the school since the Johto Fair is going on this week and there are a lot of people at the fair. Luke and Reisa are with us as they are annoyed at how many people there are at the fair.

"It is a good thing that we decided not to be in the crowd... though I feel sorry for Nemona." Reisa says.

"She's the president of the School Council after all, though I really think she should take a break." Lillie says.

"How about we try to bring her out Friday? We also have some private matters that we need to talk to her about." I say.

"That will be nice." Reisa says as we notice a Toedscool running past us, "Hey, did you guys capture a Toedscool yet?"

"We haven't." I say. "But the way that it runs is pretty funny..."

Then we have Snowy capture the Pokemon, since it is four times weak to Ice Type.

Toedscool: The Woodear Pokémon: Ground and Grass Type. Though it looks like Tentacool, Toedscool is a completely different species. Its legs may be thin, but it can run at a speed of 30 mph.

"So what makes it different from the other Pokemon..." Lillie decides to check the Pokedex, and says, "There it is! Its ability is Mycelium Might. The Pokémon will always act more slowly when using status moves, but these moves will be unimpeded by the Ability of the target."
