1.Ash's Story (Part 3: Hoenn)

Chapter 14

As we head to Route 110, we notice the cycling road above. But much to our surprise, we see a group of Magma grunts on the way. We hide behind the trees to eavesdrop on them.

"Let's keep going through Route 110 and head for Mt. Chimney!" "It'll be quite a long journey." "Let's take a rest in Mauville City, which is on the way." "I concur."

After they leave, Max says, "I wonder what is in Mt. Chimney that they're looking for?"

"Who knows..." I say back. "But it is not going to be something good."

When we are training with our Pokemon, our Lotad evolves into a Lombre, much to our delight.

Lombre: The Jolly Pokemon: Water and Grass Type. Evolve from Lotad at LV:14. Lombre is nocturnal - it will get active after dusk. It is also a mischief-maker. When this Pokémon spots anglers, it tugs on their fishing lines from beneath the surface and enjoys their consternation.

The next one to evolve is our Seedot, it evolves into a Nuzleaf.

Nuzleaf: The Willy Pokemon: Grass and Dark Type. Evolve from Seedot at LV:14. This Pokémon pulls out the leaf on its head and makes a flute with it. The sound of Nuzleaf's flute strikes fear and uncertainty in the hearts of people lost in a forest.

When we go to the Pokemon Center, we find that Nurse Joy is missing, after watching video footage from the surveillance cameras, we find that a Shiftry is responsible for this. With Nuzleaf's help, we manage to find where Nurse Joy is, and it turns out that the Shiftry wants Nurse Joy to heal a sick Nuzleaf. Team Rocket also interrupts to try stealing Shiftry, but in the end, they are sent flying because of the Hurricane attack. After Nuzleaf is recovered, the Shitry thanks us and gives me a Leaf Stone so that my Nuzleaf can evolve.

Shiftry: The Wicked Pokemon: Grass and Dark Type. Evolved from Nuzleef with a Leaf Stone. Shiftry's large fans generate awesome gusts of wind at a speed close to 100 feet per second. The whipped-up wind blows anything away. This Pokémon chooses to live quietly deep in forests.

As we continue on the road, we find Team Rocket again and this time they steal the Light Stone that operates the Lighthouse, so we get it back and then they put the Light Stone back inside the Lighthouse. After that, we see two Pokemon who get along with both Pikachu siblings.

"Wow, a Minun and a Pulsle, they are both cute." Max says.

"You are right." Alice says. And because of their friendship, both Plusle and Minun decide to join our team.

Pulsle: The Cheering Pokemon: Electric Type. Plusle always acts as a cheerleader for its partners. Whenever a teammate puts out a good effort in battle, this Pokémon shorts out its body to create the crackling noises of sparks to show its joy.

Minun: The Cheering Pokemon: Electric Type. Minun is more concerned about cheering on its partners than its own safety. It shorts out the electricity in its body to create brilliant showers of sparks to cheer on its teammates.

When we arrive at a house, and when we get inside, Max says, "I don't know why, but I think we're being watched..."

"It seems that the owner is of course here." I say as I open the table sheet, and there is a man under the desk. ""Hah? Grrr... How did you know I concealed myself beneath this desk? You're sharp!"

The man steps out of the desk and Alice asks, "Why are you hiding under the desk?"

"Behold! For I am the greatest living mystery of a man in all of Hoenn! They call me... The Trick Master! Wahahaha! Glad to meet you!"
