Chapter 122

Meeting Lucas,

And meeting up with Gary

Today was another training day for the gang. Dawn was having her Smoochum train with Tomo's Jynx. Dawn's Smoochum knew pound, lick and sweet kiss. Jynx was helping Smoochum learn powder snow and icy wind. "Your Jynx is a perfect teacher for my Smoochum Tomo" said Dawn. "Well Smoochum evolves into a Jynx," Tomo reminded Dawn "and we did tell you before that younger pokemon learn from older pokemon, especially their evolved forms". "Your right" said Dawn. Tomo's Jynx knew a lot of moves; pound, lick, sweet kiss, powder snow, confusion, sing, mean look, avalanche, copycat, perish song, blizzard, water pulse, calm mind, ice beam, psychic, shadow ball, double team, protect, hidden power, focus blast, energy ball, captivate, dream eater, heal bell, lovely kiss, double slap, wake up slap, ice punch, drain punch, body slam and hail. She was no longer a baby pokemon, that's for sure.

Ash was tending to his newest pokemon that he caught yesterday Hippopotas. Hippopotas was a brown and cream coloured hippo type pokemon and a ground type pokemon.

Ash checked Hippopotas on his pokedex: Hippopotas, the hippo pokemon. It enshrouds itself with sand to protect itself from germs. It does not enjoy getting wet.

Hippopotas was male and knew the moves tackle, sand attack, bite, yawn, dig and sand tomb and the egg moves stockpile, spit up and swallow. "Well Hippopotas," said Ash "let's see how you do with your moves". Ash had Pikachu let Hippopotas use his moves on him. As Pikachu was a lot tougher than Hippopotas, Hippopotas's attacks wouldn't affect him much. Hippopotas turned out to be quite tough himself especially with the moves tackle and bite. Ash could see that his new Hippopotas would be a great pokemon for him.

Suddenly they heard a voice; "Hey Dawn". The gang turned and saw a boy with slate grey hair and eyes and he was wearing a red cap with a black pokeball design, a light blue t-shirt, a navy blue and white jacket, blue-green jeans, red and white trainers and a red scarf. "Lucas it's you" she said, running up to him. "It's been a while Dawn" said Lucas. Dawn introduced the gang to Lucas and explained Lucas was another childhood friend of hers. "Do you live in Twinleaf town too?" Brock asked Lucas. "No I live in Sandgem Town," answered Lucas "but I've visited Twinleaf Town many times because Dawn's mum and my mum have been friends for years". "So Lucas, Prof Rowan told me that you've started travelling with pokemon again" said Dawn. Lucas explained to Brock, Ash and Tomo that his dad is an assistant of Prof Rowan and he ended up learning about pokemon from Prof Rowan himself. "When I turned ten I did go on a pokemon journey and collected the gym badges to enter the Sinnoh League. I didn't win the league of course, but after that I started to become an assistant of Prof Rowan. But a few months after becoming an assistant I decided to journey again to learn more about pokemon". "That's understandable" said Brock. Brock, Ash and Tomo did understand that because their journeys helped them learn a lot about pokemon. "So Dawn how has your journey been?" asked Lucas.

Dawn said she was enjoying her journey. "I've ended up seeing lots of new pokemon, learning a lot of new things thanks to Brock, Ash and Tomo, and I love entering pokemon contests". She showed Lucas her Floaroma ribbon. "I saw that contest on TV," said Lucas "I thought you were great Dawn". "Thank you" smiled Dawn. Ash showed Lucas his gym badges, his contest ribbons and his frontier plaque. "Wow Ash, you are doing a lot here in Sinnoh" said Lucas. "Yeah, but I like a good challenge" said Ash. "Hey Lucas," said Dawn "when you went on a journey did you ever run into a woman named Hunter J?" She explained that she and the boys saw Hunter J before and they learnt of an organization team called Team Galactic. "I have heard of them, but I never met them myself," said Lucas "I've also heard that Hunter J is a very dangerous woman so you lot better be careful when you meet up with her". "I'll feel better when she's captured and put in jail" said Ash.
