The Evolution fight

Aquadome Contest and

Glacia

Today the gang were travelling across the ocean on a ferry. Brock told the others that they were heading towards three islands called the A-B-C Islands. The islands were called the A-B-C because they were three islands grouped together. Brock also said that they were going to Island A, because it was the only island of the three with a pokemon center. It seemed to be a nice peaceful day for the gang, but the peace didn't last for long.

Some kids were racing each other in the ocean and they were riding on two different types of water pokemon. One water pokemon was a blue serpent like pokemon with orange fins and designs and a big mouth with big sharp teeth. This was called a Huntail. The other one was a pink serpent like pokemon with two long thin fins (one on the head and one below the head), a purple fin on the tail and two purple shells on the chest. This one was called a Gorebyss.

Ash looked at Huntail on his pokedex: Huntail, the deep sea pokemon. The evolved form of Clamperl. It lives deep in the sea. With a tail shaped like a small fish, it attracts unsuspecting prey.

May looked at Gorebyss on her pokedex. Gorebyss, the south sea pokemon. The evolved form of Clamperl. It lives at the bottom of the sea. In the springtime, its pink body turns more vivid for some reason.

"Wow, so both of those pokemon evolve from Clamperl?" said Max.

Tomo looked at Clamperl on the pokedex: Clamperl, the bivalve pokemon. It makes a single pearl during its lifetime. The pearl is said to amplify psychic power.

"So it's a branch evolution like Poliwhirl's evolutions and Eevee's evolutions huh?" said Ash. The gang noticed that the kids were arguing and in a hurry to get to Island A. "I wonder what those kids are in a hurry about" said Ash.

Soon the gang got to Island A, and to the pokemon center. Nurse Joy told the gang that since her pokemon center on Island A was the only pokemon center, the people on Island B and C had to transport their pokemon to her by a transporter. Suddenly there was a lot of shouting coming from another room in the pokemon center. "Oh not again" sighed Nurse Joy. The shouting was from some children and they were arguing about Huntail or Gorebyss being better than the other. Nurse Joy told them to stop arguing and get back to their studies. Apparently the pokemon center was also a school and kids from Island B and C attended it.

Max asked why and what the kids were arguing about. Nurse Joy explained that swarms of Clamperl lived around the A-B-C Islands and for some reason Clamperl end up evolving into Huntail on Island C and Clamperl evolved into Gorebyss on Island B. "Because of that the people from Islands B and C keep on arguing with each other about Gorebyss or Huntail being better than the other". "Say no more Nurse Joy," said Ash "Tomo, Brock and I have heard something like this before". "Ash is right;" said Brock "we have heard about people arguing over the different Eevee evolutions, over Poliwhirl with Poliwrath and Politoed and over Gloom with Vileplume and Bellossom". "And over Tyrogue with Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan and Hitmontop don't forget that" said Tomo. "I see," said Nurse Joy "and what do you three say about this?"

Ash was about to answer Nurse Joy's question when suddenly they saw a surprise. The surprise was Prof Birch talking to some kids outside the pokemon center. The gang couldn't believe that they were seeing Prof Birch again, and of course Prof Birch was surprised to see the gang again. "What brings you here professor?" asked Nurse Joy. "I came here to investigate on the evolutions of Clamperl" answered Prof Birch. "I must ask, how do Clamperl evolve into Huntail or Gorebyss?" asked May. "I can answer that" said Ash. He opened up his back pack and took out two objects from it. One object was a grey tooth shaped fang and the other object was a pink scale. "Aren't those things a deep sea tooth and a deep sea scale?" asked Max. "Yep," said Ash "I got these from an old man back when we were in Slateport City. The old man also told me that a deep sea tooth makes Clamperl evolve into Huntail and a deep sea scale makes Clamperl evolve into a Gorebyss. But the Clamperl have to be traded while holding the items to make them evolve". "That is correct Ash," said Prof Birch "I think I should make you my assistant when I'm travelling for research". Ash then had a thought. "Nurse Joy you said that Clamperl evolve into Gorebyss on Island B and that Clamperl evolve into Huntail on Island C right?" he said. "That's right I did" answered Nurse Joy. "Then maybe there are deep sea teeth located at Island C and deep sea scales over at Island B" said Ash. "I think you may be right Ash," said Prof Birch "so I should head over to those two islands right away to see if the theory is correct". Ash and the gang asked to come too and Prof Birch agreed.
