Chapter 82

Meeting Morrison and

The way to the Grand Festival

Ash and May were planning today on what to do with training their pokemon. As they both had five contest ribbons each, the Hoenn Grand Festival was all they could think about now. And of course, Ash had the Hoenn League to think about now. Ash and May found out from Nurse Joy that the Hoenn Grand Festival was going to be held in Slateport City, and Ash found out that the Hoenn League was to be held in a city called Ever Grand City. So the gang had two things to look forward too.

Apart from obtaining a fifth contest ribbon, May also had a new  pokemon. The day after the Pacifidlog Ribbon, the gang encountered a Munchlax who kept on eating berries from some berry trees. The gang had remembered what Munchlax was like, because Max's Snorlax was a Munchlax before he caught it. To stop the Munchlax from causing trouble, May captured it for her own.

Right now Brock had made lunch for the gang; he made sandwiches and rice balls. "So May and Ash, what are you two going to do?" asked Brock. "Well I am going to train my Spoink to help her evolve," said Ash "she told me that she wants to evolve, and my Snorunt needs some more training too". "Can I train with you Ash?" asked Tomo "my Numel wants to evolve as well". "Certainly, we'll battle each other after lunch Tomo" said Ash. "What about you May? What are you going to do?" asked Max. "I'll be practicing with some of my  pokemon;" said May "but I won't use Munchlax in the Grand Festival. It's too early since I only just got it". "I agree with that" said Brock.

At that moment a boy with tied up red hair ran past the group and stopped running to catch his breath. "Hey, there," said Ash "what are you in a rush for?" "I'm heading towards an area, where wild Beldum are swarming" said the boy. The boy introduced himself as Morrison and he explained to the gang that a swarm of Beldum was living in a forest a bit far from where they were standing now.

Ash looked at Beldum on the pokedex: Beldum, the iron ball  pokemon. The magnetic force generated by its body repels the ground's natural magnetism, letting it float.

"Hey Beldum's final evolved form is Metagross" said Max. "That's right," said Morrison "and I want to catch a Beldum, so that I can have a Metagross like Steven Stone". Steven Stone not only had an Aron, he also had an Aggron, a Beldum and a shiny Metagross. "Can we go and see the Beldum swarm too please?" asked Max "I'd love to see them". "Yeah, I want to see them too" said Tomo. Ash and May saw nothing wrong with that, and they agreed to see the Beldum too.

What the gang didn't know was that two people and a  pokemon were already in the forest, where the Beldum swarm was. It was, of course, Jessie, James and Meowth. "So these Beldum evolve to Metagross?" asked Jessie. "Well they evolve into Metang first and then to Metagross" said James, showing her the information. "It's great that we found out about this Beldum swarm," said Meowth "and the best part is that no one else is here yet. Let's get gathering". "Let's" said Jessie and James together. "Meowth get the empty pokeballs ready, while Jessie and I do the rest" said Meowth. "Pokeballs all ready". Jessie sent out her Seviper and Loudred and James sent out his Nuzleaf and Teddiursa. "Seviper you use flamethrower and Loudred use fire punch on Beldum" said Jessie. "Nuzleaf use dark pulse and you use shadow claw Teddiursa" said James. Seviper, Loudred, Nuzleaf and Teddiursa attacked the Beldum swarm with their  pokemon and then Meowth captured the Beldums in pokeballs. They ended up capturing thirty Beldums. "You see any more Beldums?" Jessie asked James. "No I don't, we must have captured all of them," answered James "we better skedaddle before anyone finds us and realize that we've captured all the Beldum". "Great idea" agreed Jessie. She and James returned their  pokemon and they and Meowth left the area as quick as they could.
