//------------------------------// // 35. Diamond's Nightmares Begin (AGAIN) // Story: Diamond's Pokémon Adventure // by Brian Sheil //------------------------------// As a plane lands in Kanto Airport, three young maidens disembark. These are none other than the Fowerlt Trio. Daisy, Rose, and Lily. These girls look around the area as they head for Pallet Town. "Is it true that Diamond Tiara is here in Kanto?" Lily asked. "That's what I heard." Daisy answered. "According to what I've heard, she's heading to an area called Indigo Plateau." "Isn't that where trainers who earned eight official gym badges battle the Pokémon League?" "That's right." All three girls got shocked as they learn of this moment. "She can't do that!" Rose yelled. "She's not to have anything to do with Pokémon!" "You're right." Daisy agreed. "Diamond Tiara is one of the most elegant people in Canterlot.And, elegant types don't care about being a Pokémon trainer." Lily broke down in tears. "The horror! THE HORROR!" "We've got to stop Diamond's silly nonsense now. Let's head over to the Indigo Plateau and wait for her." So, the trio still think that Diamond is still a snobbish spoiled brat. And, felt she should stay that way. Meanwhile, inside the tunnel that presents Victory Road. The trio of friends and Eevee traveled thought the tunnel. Meeting trainers along the way. Babs and her Charizard were facing a female Ace trainer and her Venusaur. As the battle goes on, the Ace trainer makes her move. "Venusaur, use Seed Bomb." Venusaur fired seeds at Charizard soon Babs rubbed the stone on her bracelet. "When a trainer and a Pokémon work together, nothing is impossible." She then presses her stone. "Now, my firey friend, MEGA EVOLVE!" Charizard started to glow. Soon, it became dark gray with blue flames out of it's mouth. "Let's do this, Charizard." Babs called out. "Flamethrower!" Charizard blew blue flames at Venusaur. As soon as the Seed Pokémon fainted, the Ace trainer recalled her friend. "That was an intense battle." The trainer said as she shook Babs Seed's hand. "That mega evolution was great. It shows a great bond you have with your Pokémon." After returning to normal, Charizard high fived his trainer. As the journey into the tunnel continues, a juggler challenged Silver Spoon. The Juggler brought out a Rhydon as Silver called her Blastoise. "Okay, Rhydon." The juggler called out. "Use Horn Attack!" Rhydon charged at Blastoise. Listening to Silver, the Shellfish Pokémon avoided the horn. Silver soon rubbed her necklace. "Time to show the bond between Pokémon and trainer." She then presses her stone. "Okay, my aquatic wall of defense. MEGA EVOLVE!" Blastoise is surrounded by energy. It emerges with mini cannons on it's arms and a large cannon on it's back. Silver Spoon then makes her move. "Let's do this, Blastoise. Hydro Pump!" Blastoise fired all it's cannons on the Drill Pokémon. When the juggler saw Rhydon faint, he recalled it and ran scared. "I guess some people never knew about mega evolution." Silver figured. "Yeah." Diamond added. "The same can be said for Z moves and Dynamax." As they continue their travels, they soon saw a fascinating sight. It was a giant bird that's made from fire. "It's another legendary bird of Kanto." Babs realized. "That's Moltres, the Flame Pokémon." Diamond took out her Pokédex to study this legendary Pokémon. Moltres, the Flame Pokémon. The flames of this Pokémon are used on occasion to start special events. Moltres spread it's wings and flew off to another location. The girls are fascinated with the three legendary birds they saw throughout their journey. "This is one journey we'll never forget." Diamond said proudly. "We saw Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. Those legendary Pokémon are a sight to behold." Babs and Silver agreed. Soon, they left the tunnel and see a big building. "Must be where the Elite Four recide." Silver figured. "Oce you defeat them, you're on your way to meet the champion." Diamond is excited. Just then, they were met by the flowery trio. "Stop there!" Rose shouted. "Your little journey ends HERE!" Diamond was stumped. "Stops here? Why?" "You are one of the most elegant youngsters in Canterlot. You don't waist time with lower class people." She points to Babs. "Like HER!" This shocked Babs a lot. "Hey! Don't bother my friend here. I've been helping her to get this far." Lily rushed in to grab Babs cruelly. "Shut up, vagabond. This is between us and Diamond Tiara!" After Lily slapped her in the face, Babs was starting to tear up. Diamond couldn't believe these usually timid girls would be so rough. "Don't do that to my friend, Lily!" Diamond demanded. "Silver Spoon and other snobbish kids should be your only friends," Daisy said as she starts to fume again. "And, remove those clothes your wearing and STOP BEING SUCH A TOMBOY!" Diamond started to get upset as the three girls left. "Let's hope that got through to her." Lily said. "This journey she's been taking is a waist of time." "I agree." Rose added. "Many others like Spoiled Rich and Blueblood are right. She should learn her place." Later, the three friends and Eevee arrived at the white building. Silver looked at any mark left by that slap to Babs Seed's face. Diamond sits on the floor and keeps flashing back to how Holly tries to intimidate her with those other Pokémon. She walks over to see how her friend is doing. "You okay, Babs?" Diamond asked with concern. "Yeah, I'm okay." Babs said. "I took worse than that. This helped Diamond relax. Silver, however, was worried about Diamond . Those three flower girls were brutal. "How about you, Diamond? Are you going to be okay?" After thinking about what happened, she made a decision. "We came this far. There's no going back now!" Silver and Babs applauded her decision. Diamond soon made an announcement. "Let's go, girls. The Elite Four awaits!" Diamond, Silver, Babs, and Eevee made their way to the building to where the Elite Four are waiting new challengers. Inside, four shadowy figures see them coming. "I see we have new challengers coming to battle us." Said the voice of a pleasant woman. The voice of a rough man followed the comment. "I heard that it's just the fancy Diamond Tiara." "You're right." Said the voice of an old lady. *And, those other girls are there too support her." The last voice, that of a young man, spoke up. "Let's get ready to welcome Miss Tiara. We'll see how well she'll do against us."
