Misty's Adventures in Galar

by Brian Sheil

41. Battle in Rose Tower

In our previous chapter, Misty, Paradise, Firefly, and Hop were expecting Leon to show up for lunch. But, Oleana and her staff said that Leon us meeting Chairman Rose. Thinking something is up, the group split up to find a member of that team who has the key to the Monorail of Rose Tower. With help from Piers and Teal Yell, they got the key and rode the Monorail. When they reached the top, they were confronted by Oleana, who is determined to ensure nobody disturbs the interview.
"Come out, Frosslass!" Oleana shouted. "Use Icy Wind!'
Out came a creature that looks like she's wearing a kimono. She blew cold wind at Misty. She took out her Pokédex to learn of this creature.
Frosslass, the Snow Land Pokémon. The Pokédex said. It acts as a guide to help people through snowstorms..
"You cannot stop me!" Oleana said angrily. "Frosslass, BLIZZARD!"
Frosslass blew arctic air as Misty. She got enough energy to call one of her Pokémon friends. "Come out, Ninetales, and use Flamethrower!"
Ninetales came out and blew fire on the ghostly Pokémon. Frosslass fainted, and was recalled by Oleana.
"You must not go ahead!" Oleana ordered. "Stop her, Tsareena! Use Power Kick!"
A flowery creature came out and kicked Misty down to the ground. Firefly was shocked and protested. "Hey! Pokémon aren't supposed to be used to hurt people!"
"I will do what I can to protect my Chairman!" Oleana said as Misty pulls out a Pokédex.
Tsarenna, the Fruit Pokémon. The Pokédex said. It can deliver power kicks and use it's legs to mock defeated opponents.
"Ninetales, return." Misty said. She then sends another Pokémon. "Come out, Corviknight."
Corviknight flies up. Misty wastes no time. "Corviknight, use Drill Peck!"
The Raven Pokémon spins fast as it strikes at Tsarenna. Seeing her Pokémon down, Oleana recalls her. She is still getting angry.
"You must stop now!" Oleana demanded. "Come out, Salazzle! Hit this brat with Dragon Rage!'
A long brown lizard comes out and unleashes dragon energy at Misty. Seeing her in danger, Corviknight intercepts with Steel Wing.
"Thanks, Corviknight." Misty praised as she studied Salazzle.
Salazzle, the Toxic Lizard Pokémon and the evolved form of Sandalit. Said the Pokédex.The poison gas from this Pokémon is sometimes used as perfume.
After recalling Corviknight, Misty calls for her next Pokémon. "It's your turn, Inteleon."
Inteleon arrived to battle. Misty acted quick. "Inteleon, Water Pulse!'
Inteleon blasted a burst of water at Salazzle. The Toxic Lizard Pokémon soon fainted. Oleana recalled Salazzle and still determined to stop Misty.
"You shall go no further!" Oleana called out. "Strike at her, Milotic, with Aqua Tail!"
A serpentine creature comes at hits Misty with water from it's tail.
"Why would Oleana use her Pokémon to hurt Misty!" Paradise said with fear.
"I know." Hop added. "Oleana is going crazy. Somebody strap a straitjacket on her."
Misty's Pokédex comes alive with information. Milotic, the Tender Pokémon. The sight of this Pokémon can calm anybody.
Misty sees that this Pokémon is not a calm type. After recalling Inteleon, she calls for another Pokémon. Let's go, Klinklang!"
The Gear Pokémon comes out ready for action. Misty comes at it quickly. "Klinklang, use Discharge!"
Electricity comes out of Klinklang and strikes at Milotic. Seeing her Pokémon faint, Oleana recalls it. She looks at Molly with even more anger.
"You dare to interfere with my Chairman?!" Oleana said.
"Well, I don't know what Rose is up to." Misty replied. "But, that's no reason to use your Pokémon to hurt me."
"I do what I must to protect my leader. And, YOU CANNOT STOP ME! Come out, Garbodor! Use Pound!"
A large bag like creature comes out and trues to strike at Misty. But, she avoided the hit and took out her Pokédex.
Garbodor, the Trash Heap Pokémon. The Pokédex said. The stench from this Pokémon is so bad, most people stay away.
Recalling Klinklang, Misty calls on her best shot against Garbodor. "You're up, Mudsdale."
The Draft Horse Pokémon comes out. Suddenly, Oleana recalls her Garbodor. Her Poké Ball soon got big. "This will put a stop to your meddling. Gigantamax!"
Her Garbodor grew gigantic. And, it has garbage all over it's body. Planes, buildings and other stuff. Misty recalled her Mudsdale and matched Oleana move for move. "It's Dynamax time!"
Mudsdale grew big as well. But, Oleana isn't impressed. "This'll stop your Mudsdale. Garbodor, use G-Max Malodor!"
Garbodor is about to spray poison gas. Misty reacted quickly. "Mudsdale, use Max Quake!"
Stomping on the ground, Mudsdale caused an earthquake. It was enough to shake Garbodor off. The Trash Heap Pokémon shrunk and fainted. After recalling her Pokémon, Oleana soon returned to her calm self. After recalling Mudsdale, who shrunk back to normal size, Misty and her friends to check on her.
"I'm sorry for my outbursts." Oleana said, feeling regret. "But, I was so determined to help Chairman Rose."
"What does he want to talk to Leon about anyway?" Hop asked.
"That, I don't know."
This got the gang worried. Meanwhile, Rose and Leon have a serious talk.
"Think of it, Leon." Rose said. "The future of Galar depends on our decision."
"I'd like to think of your words." Leon replied. "But, right now, I owe Hop and Misty lunch. And, I have to be ready to host the main event if the Championship Cup tomorrow. See you later."
As Leon leaves, Rose watches him with eerie eyes. You won't believe what I have in store, Leon. My next move will shake the world.
Meanwhile, in Kalis, Sting packs his stuff and heads out of a small town.
"Good thing I rested in Couriway Town." Sting said to himself. "Now, I'm ready for Snowbelle City. Look out, Wulfrid. Here I come."
