Our heroes race through Route 104 into the Petalburg Woods to find Treecko.
"Alright, I think we should split up. If we go in different directions we'll be able to cover more ground." May said. "You come on out too Marsh'ems!" She shouted as Mudkip came out of his Poké Ball.
"Let's help out as well guys!" I said as Applejack and Pinkie came out of their Balls.
"You as well." Wally mumbled in a sickly tone as Ralts and Azurill came out of their Balls.
I went over by the ledges to see if Treecko was there.
"Ah should be able to smell him. 'Fore Ah was caught in that there Poké Ball, I was able to talk with Treecko for a while beforehand."
"So is that Treecko one of us AJ?" Pinkie asked as she looked in some bushes while being shooed by Poocheyna.
"No he's a normal Pokémon like Mudkip, Ralts or Azurill. Either way Ah can't smell him here. Maybe we should look over to where Wally is."
"Good idea. Let's go!" I said as we began walking away. Before that Pinkie was stopped by something.
"Pinkie Pie, is that really you?" the voice asked as we looked back.
"Yeppers! The one and only, Pinkameana Diane Pie! Why do you ask? Hey you sound familiar!" She said looking towards the bush.
"Pinkie Pie, Applejack, I'm so glad you two are alright!" The voice said jumping onto my Lotad and Torchic. Ironically, the voice was a Shroomish.
"A Shroomish eh?" I said holding up my Pokédex.
{Shroomish, the Mushroom Pokémon. Shroomish is mild tempered and inhabits piles of rotting leaves inside of forests.}
"Sure doesn't seem mild tempered to me." I said closing it.
"Oh my! He's huge!" Fluttershy mumbled to Applejack and Pinkie.
"Don't worry Fluttershy! Brendy's a nice human. We've been traveling with him for a small while and he's really nice, but studious like Twilight!" Pinkie Pie said as Applejack agreed.
"Oh well if your like Twilight, I'm glad I was able to meet you, and thank you for taking care of my friends." Fluttershy smiled at me.
"Heh, heh, no problem. Anyways, Fluttershy, I was wondering if you wanted to join us on our team. We're out to defeat the Pokémon League in order to become champions of Hoenn. What do you say?" I asked her. After some time she eventually decided.
"Yes. It'll be nice to be around friends." She smiled as I tapped her forehead with the Poké Ball. After 3 shakes and some small stars Fluttershy the Shroomish was officially my Pokémon.
"Okay Fluttershy come on out! We still need to find Treecko." I said as the Shroomish came out of her ball as the four of us began looking around.
Wally's POV
As Ralts, Azurill and I began looking for Treecko we actually met up with a researcher on the way here.
"Excuse me, young boy. Have you seen a Pokémon called Shroomish? I really love that Pokémon!" the researcher asked me.
"Hey Wally! Any luck?" Brendan said with his Torchic, Lotad and new Shroomish.
"Um not yet Brendan. Excuse me sir have you seen a Treecko around here. My friend's Poké Ball got taken as we were walking on Route 104." As the researcher thought long and hard. some spotlights showed up in front of us as two humans and a Pokémon appeared.
"Prepare for trouble, from the land up high!"
"In the sea below, a nasty surprise!"
"And evil as old as the land you see."
"Underneath lies our destiny!"
"Discord, that's ME!"
"To denounce the evils, of love and care."
"Lovely, charming villains are here!"
"Courtney."
"Hmph, Matt!"
"And Discord are the names! Pa!"
"Wherever there's peace in the universe...
"Team Terra"
"Will be there!"
"To make everything worse!"
"Torkoal!"
"Frillish!"
"Who the heck are you?!" Brendan shouts.
"Didn't you hear child? We are Team Terra. A group that does as we please." Courtney replied with a stoic expression.
"Now Mr. Professor, hand over those Devon Parts, or this Treecko here won't be doin' so hot!" Matt said as he smirked. At this time the Torkoal was threatening Treecko with a small Ember to get it to cooperate.
"How could you?!" May screamed running over to us.
"Flamethrower Torkoal." Courtney commanded. As such Torkoal released a Flamethrower attack at her as she grabbed Marsh'em's Poké Ball.
"Marsh'ems, Water Gun!" May shouted as Mudkip did just that.
"We got your back!" Matt shouted as he got his Poliwag out."Frillish you use Water Pulse!" As Poliwag attacked, Pinkie and Applejack were helping Treecko get away from the duo as his Shroomish stared at the Meowth named Discord on top of the ledge.
"How could you Discord?", she said in a very small mumble.
"Treecko's safe! Pinkie use Razor Leaf! Fluttershy use Seed Bomb!" Brendan ordered. While Pinkie Pie had no problems with attacking, Fluttershy was just frozen there. "Fluttershy, are you alright?" As soon as Brendan asked this, she snapped back into reality as she fired an incredibly strong Seed Bomb. As such the entirety of Team Terra was stuck with each other.
As Treecko and I stared helplessly as Brendan and May battled, we realized we couldn't stay in fear anymore! We had to help them!
"AJ, use Flamethrower!"
"Marsh'ems, use Water Gun!"
"Treecko use Mega Drain!"
As Treecko's Mega Drain made the team even more weak, the combined water and fire blasted them away from Petalburg Woods!
"We're blasting off!" Matt screamed as they flew over to Route 116.
"Heh, well well, Wally, you seem to have a pretty good connection with Treecko! I was wondering if you wanted to train him!" May asked as Marsh'em returned to the Poké Ball.
"Well, yes I would! If, that's okay of course." I said shying away.
"Well go ahead! Here's his Poké Ball!" May said tossing it to me.
"Okay Treecko, return." I said as Treecko returned to his Ball. "So I was wondering, May. Would it be alright if I could travel with the two of you. After teaming up with you two in this adventure, I felt like I was getting stronger!"
"Of course! I'm sure Brendan wouldn't mind. Though I think he's in the middle of something- HEY WAIT A MINUTE! He promised me the next capture! That Brendan!!!!!" May shouted.
"So Fluttershy, what was up there? Why was there a sudden hesitation with the Seed Bomb?" Brendan asked.
"Oh I'm sorry, it's just, that Meowth. He used to be a close friend of mine. Before I got to this world. But *sigh*, I don't think he wants to be my friend anymore." Fluttershy said looking down at the ground.
Not too far away on Route 116, Discord seems to be looking at the setting sun. "Oh my dear Fluttershy, I am sorry." Discord said with tears in his eyes.
Back inside Petalburg Woods, Brendan continued talking with Fluttershy about Discord. "Fluttershy, I'm so sorry. I didn't know."
Fluttershy shook her head. "It's okay Brendan. Back home, I was known as the Element of Kindness. Yet, a form of kindness is knowing when to set them free. I will move on from this."
"Wow Fluttershy, that seems very grown up of you!" Brendan said surprised.
Fluttershy chuckled in return. "Well I can't just mope through our entire adventure, now can I. Anyways, we should probably catch up to the others now. They'll leave for the next city without us." Fluttershy said as Brendan held her in the warmth of his arms. After a while, The trio eventually managed to get through the Petalburg Woods as the the quest for Brendan's first Gym Battle at Rustboro City as the Journey Continues!
