Granite Cave, Fishing and

The Mudkip Marsh

Thanks to Mr Briney, the gang had arrived to Dewford Island and they had a good night's sleep at the pokemon center. Now it was daytime and the gang started to think on what to do now. Ash was looking up Dewford Gym on the computer and saw that the gym leader used fighting type pokemon. "Are you going to use Taillow and Ralts?" asked Tomo, who knew that flying and psychic beat fighting type. "Yes I will," said Ash "but Ralts need's more training and practicing first. "Okay" said Tomo. Just then Brock told the others where he wanted to go; he wanted to go to a cave called Granite Cave that was located on Dewford Island. "The guide says that Nosepass can be found there," explained Brock "and I want one for myself". The gang understood that, especially since Nosepass is a rock type pokemon. "Why don't we all go there?" said Ash "we all might find a pokemon we want to capture there". "Yeah let's do that" said Max, excitedly. "And Mr Briney told us that his son Steven will probably be there, so I give this the good opportunity to meet him" said May. "You know," said Ash "I just found out on the computer that Steven is also a pokemon champion of Hoenn". "Really? Then we have to go and meet Steven"." asked Max "So the gang agreed to go to Granite Cave.

Granite Cave was located far away from the town of Dewford Island and it was one big cave. "Since this cave is so huge, how we will find our way through it and back?" asked May "I mean we will get lost in there". "Don't worry," said Brock "I have a solution to that". Brock took out a packet of big stickers from his back pack. "These stickers are markers," he said "and they glow in the dark so if we get lost we just follow the markers". "That's smart" said Max. The gang also got out their flash lights to see because it was dark in the Granite Cave. "Let's go" said Ash, and the gang went into the cave.

What the gang didn't know was that trouble was lurking about in the Granite Cave. Jessie, James and Meowth were in the cave, searching for pokemon. "I wonder what pokemon are lurking about in this cave" said Meowth. "Just as long as they're strong pokemon, it doesn't matter" said Jessie. "We better be careful though," said James "remember when we went into the rock tunnel back in Kanto? The pokemon in there kept on stampeding at us". "Yeah but you don't need to worry about that now, my Granbull will handle the stampede's with her roar attack" said Jessie. "That's right;" said Meowth "roar has the ability to frighten pokemon away, I've seen it before". "Good to know" replied James.

The gang had now walked a long, long way from the entrance of the cave. "I'm glad you're putting up markers Brock," said Ash "this cave is like a maze". "I agree with all the twists and turns," said Brock "and if Steven Stone is in here, well trying to find him won't be easy". Just then there was a whimpering noise echoing through one of the tunnels of the cave. "That sounds a child whose lost and scared," said Brock "we better see what the noise is". The gang followed the sound into the tunnel, where it was coming from. Then they found three pink and yellow pokemon that nearly looked like rabbits. "Hey those are Whismur" said Max.

May checked out Whismur on her pokedex: Whismur, the whisper pokemon. Usually, its cries are like quiet murmurs. If frightened, it shrieks at the same volume as a jet plane.

The three Whismur were trembling in fear. "Hey what's wrong?" asked Max. The Whismur started to speak. "They're saying that they are being chased by a Loudred" said Ash.

Ash looked n Loudred on his pokedex: Loudred, the big voice pokemon. The evolved form of Whismur. The shock waves from its cries can tip over trucks. It stamps its feet to power up.

"This Loudred must be bullying the Whismur" said Brock. "By why would Loudred bully these three Whismur?" asked May "I mean Whismur evolve into Loudred". "Well the truth is May pokemon do bully each other, especially pokemon who are in their final evolved forms," said Ash "they like to pick on pokemon who are still in their youngest forms. Brock, Tomo and I have seen it before". May couldn't believe her ears when she heard that pokemon do bully each other. Max comforted the Whismur and stroked their ears. The Whismur liked the stroking and saw Max as a friend. "I suggest we keep on going now," said Ash "if there is a troublesome Loudred in here, then I suggest we try to find Steven now and ask him for help". The others liked that idea. The three Whismur wanted to come too and the gang agreed to let them come along.
