Pokémon: Silver Journeys

Those Darn Electabuzz!

As our heroes were on their way to Olivine City and the next Johto Gym, they decided to pass through a city.

Marina: This place sure is nice. I wonder what's good to eat here.

Karen: Yeah, I'll say. There's so many choices. As they were talking, Jimmy was looking around for something or someone.

Marina: We should probably stop by the Pokémon Center first, though. What do you think?

Karen: Sounds good to me. We've been running for quite a bit.

Jimmy: Uh... hey, did you guys see where Riley went?

Marina & Karen: Huh? They look and see that the youngest of them was nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile, an important game was being played on a baseball field. The scoreboard showed the game was nearing its end.

Announcer: It's the bottom of the ninth. And all that stands between the Electabuzz and victory is one strike. But can Harper deliver? It's time like this we long for the return of Corey Demario.

Casey: C'mon, Harper! Earn your money!

Riley: Get that strike for the Electabuzz!

Announcer: It's a hit! And it's going, it's going, it's outta here! The Electabuzz lose again!

Seeing this disheartens the two Electabuzz fans as they look down in shame.

Casey: No! That's the tenth loss in a row!

Riley: Where are you, Corey Demario?

Riley & Casey: Hm? The turn around, finally noticing the other's presence. AH! They exclaimed, surprised.

They move to a nearby park to catch up.

Riley: Didn't think I'd run into you, Casey.

Casey: Me neither. Whatcha been up to?

Riley: I'm heading to Olivine City to earn my fifth badge.

Casey: You're fifth? Riley pulls out his badge case and presents his badges.

Riley: See this? I just won this at the Ecruteak Gym. He said proudly.

Casey: That's awesome! I hear that gym is really tough.

Riley: It was. I managed to win by the skin of my teeth. 'I still don't know how I was able to sense where Gengar was though. Weird.' So, looks like the Electabuzz aren't doing so well lately. I'm getting kinda worried.

Casey: [Sigh] I know. Ten in a row? The Electabuzz used to be the number one team in the league. They're the number one losers now.

Riley: Yeah.

???: [Roar]

Riley & Casey: Hm?

Casey: What's that?

They both look and see a Charizard running while being chased a man and a child who seemed to be trying to calm it down.

???: I didn't mean it, Don! Come back. Please, I'm sorry. Come back!

Casey: Let's help 'em! C'mon!

Riley: Yeah! Cyndaquil, let's go!

Casey: Bayleef, Beedrill, come out! They all materialize.

???: Hey, get outta the way! He's on a rampage!

Casey: The Electabuzz never cower or back down and neither do the fans! Let's go, Bayleef and Beedrill!

Riley: You help out too, Cyndaquil!

Casey: Dig in real hard, block the place and tag that Charizard out!
