Chapter 145

Phione,

The Chocovine Contest,

And The Pokemon Poacher

Today the gang arrived at Chocovine Town, but they weren't thinking about the pokemon contest just now. At the harbour there was a little festival going on. Just then a stall merchant called out saying he was selling Phione phone straps, Phione dolls and other Phione stuff. Dawn thought the Phione dolls were adorable and wanted one for herself. The merchant showed a computer screen which showed a real Phione. Phione was a blue water type pokemon that nearly looked like a Manaphy. "Wow they look like Manaphy, only different" said Tomo. He decided to buy a Phione doll for himself too. "If Misty was here she would go all gaga over the Phiones" said Ash.

Dawn looked at Phione on her pokedex: Phione, the sea drifter pokemon. It drifts in warm seas. A Pokémon that lives in warm seas. It inflates the flotation sac on its head to drift and search for food.

Dawn then decide to look at Manaphy on her pokedex: Manaphy, the seafaring pokemon. It is born with a wondrous power that lets it bond with any kind of Pokémon.

The merchant asked the gang if they were entering the pokemon contest and Dawn said she was. Ash wasn't going to enter the Chocovine Contest. The merchant explained to the gang that if anyone got the chance to see a Phione they would have good luck. And he suggested they should go Phione watching, considering this was the only time of the year when Phione turned up at Chocovine Town. The gang agreed to go and do some Phione watching.

"Hey Dawn have you decided who to use in the contest?" asked Ash. "Yes I have" answered Dawn. She was going to use Drifloon and Pachirisu. Piplup was disappointed he wasn't going to be in the contest. Dawn reminded him that all of her pokemon had to take turns. Piplup still felt disappointed so Dawn reminded him to cheer them on as they looked up to him. Those words made Piplup cheer up at once.

That night tourists were gathering at the harbour to a submarine where they would go Phione watching in. Unfortunately Team Rocket was running the submarine. The trio had heard about the Phione and they wanted to see them for themselves. Meowth, who was dressed up like a Phione, noticed the gang were coming onto the submarine, and the trio took care not to let the gang seem them. The trio then went into the controlling room. "Better start up this thing" said Jessie. "I am worried about something though," said James "what are we going to do if no Phiones turn up? Those people may ask for their money back you know". "James is right and it wasn't cheap for the rent on this submarine either" said Meowth. "That will be when you get into the picture Meowth," said Jessie "as you're dressed like a Phione you can pretend to be one". Meowth didn't like the idea as he would've had to hold his breath for a long time.

Soon the sub was under the sea. There were many water pokemon swimming around under the sea like Luvdisc and Finneon. "This is wonderful" said Dawn. "I like seeing what it is like under the sea" said Tomo, remembering the last time they were under the sea. Pikachu, Piplup, Growlithe, Buneary, Smoochum, Pachirisu, Happiny and Croagunk were enjoying themselves too.

Suddenly three Phiones turned up. Everyone in the sub saw them and they were delighted. Team Rocket couldn't believe their eyes either when they saw the Phiones. Just then one of the Phiones noticed Buneary and swam up to the submarine's window to wave hello. "Ah how sweet" said Dawn. "You know I think that Phione likes Buneary" said Brock. Buneary was surprised to hear that.
