> Pokemon: Canterlot Adventures > by Ctmaley > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Episode 1- Let the Journey Begin > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In a house in the city of Canterlot, a 15 year old girl with white skin, pink eyes & magenta hair that reached the middle of her back was sleeping. The girl’s height was also 5 foot 1. “Cherry Blossom!” hollered a man with white skin, brown hair, brown eyes & wearing a blue shirt, black pants & white shoes.  “Dad!” groaned Cherry.” said Cherry. “You’re going to be late to get your first pokemon. “ said Cherry’s Dad. “Oh dang, I forget.” said Cherry. Cherry changed out of her pajamas into a shirt that was blue on top & white on the bottom, a hat that was white with a red pokeball logo on it & had a red brim, blue pants & red shoes. She grabbed her bag which was red & blue with a black strap, she almost was out of the house. “HOLD IT!” said Cherry’s Dad. “What? You’re going to make me even more late.” said Cherry. “Did you pack your sleeping bag & tent?” asked Cherry’s Dad “Yes dad I did.” answered Cherry. “Did you pack more clothes?” said Cherry’s Dad. “Yes.” answered Cherry. “Including more bras & underwear?” asked Cherry’s Dad. “Oh my gosh dad, of course I did, I also packed a few bikinis in case I wanted to go swimming.” answered Cherry. “Good, just wanted to make sure you were prepared.” said Cherry’s Dad. “I know.” said Cherry. Cherry hugged her dad and raced to Professor Celestia Solana's Lab, Cherry saw a professor who was an older woman in her 40’s. Cherry barged through the front door & fell on the floor. “I guess you’re the new trainer.” said a woman. Cherry looked up and saw a woman with light blue hair that reached her shoulders, she had dark blue skin, light blue eyes. She wore a white lab coat, a black shirt with white stars on it, a blue skirt & black heels. “Professor Solana?” said Cherry, getting up. “Yes, not the Solana you’re expecting. I’m Professor Luna, the sister of Celestia.” answered Professor Luna. “Oh, where's the other Professor Solana?” asked Cherry. “She’s out feeding the pokemon, trainers have left here.” answered . “Okay, are there any pokemon left?” asked Cherry. “Yes, there’s 1 left.” answered Luna. “Just one?” asked Cherry. Professor Luna took Cherry to a machine with one pokeball in them. Luna opened a pokeball revealing a Bulbasaur. “This is the only starter pokemon given to Reorro(This world’s Kanto) Trainers left.” said Luna. “Well I intended to pick Bulbasaur, so it’s okay.” said Cherry. “Very well.” said Luna. “I see you’ve met my sister and the starter pokemon.” said Celestia. Cherry turned to she Professor Celestia, she was a older woman in her 40’s like her sister, Celestia had white skin, pink hair, pink eyes, she wore a white lab coat, a yellow blouse, blue pants and pink heels. “Professor Luna gave me Bulbasaur.” said Cherry. “How Lovely.” said Celestia. “Before you go, here’s 5 more pokeballs and a Rotom Phone.” said Luna. Cherry put the five pokeballs in her pocket & turned on the blue cased Rotom Phone. “Cool.” said Cherry. “That Rotom Phone has data on all of the currently discovered Pokemon in the world.” said Luna.  “Thank you Professors.” said Cherry. “Good Luck on your journey.” said Luna. Cherry made her way to Route 1. "Pokedex who are the Gym Leaders of the Region?" Cherry asked her phone. “The Reorro Region has 10 Gym Leaders, but only 8 Badges are required for the Harmony Conference.  The Gym Leaders are Rarity the Gym Leader of Manhattan who uses Ice Types,  Mac the Gym Leader of Oaktreehoma who uses Steel Types,  Applejack the Gym Leader of San Pontonio who uses Ground Types.  Rainbow Dash the Gym Leader of Las Pegasus who uses Flying Types,  Flash the Gym leader of Pearsburgh who uses Electric Types,  Bulk the Gym Leader of Fillydelphia who uses Normal Types,  Soarin the Gym Leader of Totrotto who uses Fire Types,  Twilight the Gym Leader of Everton who uses Psychic Types.  Lemon Zest the Gym Leader of Mareami who uses Poison Types  Cadence the Gym Leader of San Ponsico who uses Water Types.” answered the Rotom Phone. “What about the Elite 4 & Champion?” asked the girl. “The Elite 4 are Fluttershy who uses Grass Types, Shining who uses Fighting Types, Spike who uses Dragon Types & Pinkie who uses Fairy Types. The Canterlot Champion is Sunset Shimmer.” answered the Rotom Phone. “Dang.” said Cherry. Cherry brought out her pokemon. “Bulba.” said Bulbasaur. Cherry held her Rotom Phone to Bulbasaur. “Bulbasaur, the seed Pokemon, a Grass & Poison type. There is a plant seed on its back right from the day this Pokémon is born. The seed slowly grows larger.” said Cherry’s Phone “Okay Bulbasaur your moves are Vine Whip, Tackle, Growl & Sludge Bomb & you’re a girl.” said Cherry. “Hoot.” said a Hoothoot from up in a tree. “Hoothoot the owl pokemon, a normal & flying type, It begins to hoot at the same time every day. Some Trainers use them in place of clocks.” said Cherry’s Phone. “Bulbasaur use sludge bomb.” said Cherry. Bulbasaur caught the gold color Hoothoot of guard, knocked it out of the tree & Hoothoot then flashed purple. Hoothoot’s wings glowed white and it shot blades of wind at Bulbasaur, knocking the plant pokemon back. Hoothoot then flashed purple again before its eyes glowed pink, Bulbasaur was lifted up into the sky and launched into the ground. “Hooot.” groaned Hoothoot as the poison knocked it out. “Go pokeball!” said Cherry, the pokeball shook once, then twice, third time and the capture was confirmed. “Hoothoot has been registered to your pokedex.” said Cherry’s phone. “Let’s see you have Air Slash, Peck, Tackle & Psychic, you’re a girl….” Cherry noticed a star symbol on the corner of Hoothoot’s picture. “Wait, you're shiny!!!” exclaimed Cherry. As Cherry walked down Route 1 she saw a 16 year old girl with red skin, black & white hair, blue eyes, blue shirt, black skirt & black shoes. She stood at 5 foot 6 inches. “Well look, it's little Cherry.” said The Girl “Now if you excuse me.” said Cherry, trying to leave. “So you finally got out of the house.” said Ruby. “Yep, how many pokemon do you have?” asked Cherry. “5- Pidgey, Rattata, Nidoran Male, Indigoco & my starter.” answered Ruby. “Who did you pick as your starter?” asked Cherry. “I’ll keep that as a secret, what pokemon do you have?” asked Ruby. “My starter & Hoothoot.” answered Cherry. “Already behind on Pokemon.” chuckled Ruby. The two reached Las Pegasus & entered the pokemon center. After 20 minutes Nurse Redheart gave them their healed pokemon back. The trainers went to the Las Pegasus Gym. The doors opened and they saw a woman with blue skin, long multicolored hair, red eyes and wearing a black jacket, pink shirt, navy blue pants, pink shoes who was sitting on a throne. “Hello challengers, I’m Rainbow Dash the gym leader.” said Rainbow Dash. “We’re Cherry & Ruby from Canterlot.” said Cherry. “Which one will I be crushing first?” asked Rainbow Dash. “You can crush Cherry & I’ll crush you!” hollered Ruby. Rainbow Dash got up from her throne. “So you have at least 6 of the badges.” she said. “Six Badges?” asked Ruby. “I require my challengers to have 6 badges, so I don’t have to hold back. How many do you have?” asked Rainbow Dash. “One.” said Ruby quietly. Rainbow Dash laughed “Seriously? Do you not know how strong I am?” she said. Ruby fumed out of the gym. “I didn’t know about the badge requirement.” said Cherry. “Don’t worry about it, other trainers haven’t as well. Your friend's cockyness is was just funny.” said Rainbow Dash. “She’s always been like that.” said Cherry. “I recommend going to San Pontonio & Manhattan and challenging Applejack & Rarity.” said Rainbow Dash. “I will thank you.” said Cherry. Cherry exited the gym and as expected Ruby was nowhere to be found, Cherry looked through the city and didn’t find her. Cherry wasn’t looking where she was going and bumped into another teenage trainer. This trainer had pink skin, blue eyes, white hair, she had on a white shirt with a pink pokeball on it, a blue beanie, a pink skirt, blue shoes & a black backpack. “OH! What wear you're going!” said the other trainer. “Sorry.” said Cherry, helping her up & handing her hat to her. The other girl dusted herself off. “Just be careful.” she said. “Let's do this properly, I’m Cherry Blossom from Canterlot.” said Cherry, holding out her hand. “I’m Rose Wood. I’m from Pearsburgh.” said Rose. “Are you a new trainer too?” asked Cherry. “Yes, I got my Charmander from the two Professor Solanas.” answered Rose. “Are you doing gym battles?” asked Cherry. “No, I'm doing contests, there’s one happening here in a couple of days. You should try it” answered Rose. “I don’t think I should.” said Cherry. “Why? Don’t like dressing up?” asked Rose. “Yes.” said Cherry. “Dressing up isn’t scary.” chuckled Rose. They went to Route 2, Cherry saw a Nidoran female, she brought out Hoothoot and her pokeball released sparkles as she was brought out. “Hoothoot, Psychic!” said Cherry. The Nidoran was lifted up in the air then slammed into the ground. “Air Slash.” said Cherry, Hoothoot quickly fired Air Slashes at Nidoran. Cherry threw a pokeball at Nidoran and after it shook three times she was captured. “Nidoran Female has been registered to your Pokedex.” said Cherry’s Phone. “Good job.” said Rose. “Thanks.” said Cherry. “You have a shiny pokemon.” said Rose. “Yea I found her on Route 1. “So do I.” Rose brought out her pink female butterfree. “Awesome.” said Cherry. The two heard rumbling in the grass, poking her head out was a female Pikachu. “Bulbasaur, vine whip!” said Cherry. “Saur!” said Bulbasaur as she hit Pikachu with a vine whip. “Pika!” said Pikachu as she was knocked backwards. Bulbasaur shook and yellow electricity came off Bulbasaur. “Pikachu’s static.” said Rose. “Damn.” said Cherry. Pikachu glowed yellow and zapped Bulbasaur with electricity, but it did hardly anything. “Sludge bomb!” commanded Cherry. Bulbasaur hit Pikachu with a sludge bomb & the mouse flashed purple from the poison. Cherry threw a pokeball and captured Pikachu. “Pikachu has been registered to your pokedex.” said Cherry’s Phone. “Wooooo.” cheered Cherry. “We should get them healed.” said Rose. “Right.” said Rose. While Cherry’s pokemon was getting healed she saw that Nidoran’s moves were Poison sting, double kick, shadow claw & tackle. Pikachu’s moves were Thunderbolt, Surf, Quick Attack & Double Team. After Cherry’s pokemon were healed they ventured onto Route 22, they spotted a Mankey. “Butterfree air slash.” said Rose. Butterfree shot the air slashes at the Mankey, the fighting type’s fist glowed blue. It jumped at Butterfree but the butterfly simply flew up to avoid it. “Giga drain.” said Rose. Green energy shot from Butterfree and hit Mankey sapping its health away. “Sleep Power.” Butterfree blew orange dust on Mankey making it fall asleep. Rose then threw a pokeball capturing Mankey. “Mankey has been registered to your pokedex.” said Rose’s Phone, Rose’s phone had a pink case. “Nice.” said Cherry. The two won battles against a couple of bug catchers each, before going back to Las Pegasus, after once again healing their pokemon. Rose took Cherry to a clothing store to buy outfits for tomorrow’s contest. “I feel weird.” said Cherry from her changing room. “Ah come on, it’s not bad.” said Rose, she had a pink dress which ended at her knees & black heels on. Cherry exited her changing room wearing a bright blue dress which stopped at her knees, dark blue gloves & heels. “Happy?” said Cherry. “You look beautiful.” said Rose. Cherry stood in front of the mirror. “If you say so.” she said. “Of course you do.” said Rose. They changed back into their regular clothes and bought the dresses. That night they sat in their room in the pokemon center. “Rose, if you don’t mind me asking, what does your family do?” asked Cherry. “My father is Professor Wood, he travels the world studying pokemon. He found my Butterfree and gave her to me. While my Mom isn’t in the picture anymore.” answered Rose. “Both my parents are very strong trainers, my dad made it to the champion’s league where he beat two of the Reorro Elite 4. My mom beat all of them & was trying to be the champion but she was defeated by the former champion, Granny Smith. She took the loss hard and went on this mission but she never came back.” said Cherry. “I’m sorry to hear that.” said Rose. “I just wonder what happened to her.” said Cherry. The next morning they changed into their dresses and went to the contest hall. There were 18 trainers back in the trainer's room. “Welcome to the first Reorro contest of the season, we have 18 trainers here to try and win the Wind Ribbon! I’m your host Allura Ivory and let’s give a welcome to our first coordinator, Mari Pine from Indigo Bark Town!” said Allura. Mari Pine was the same age as Cherry, she had white skin, black hair tied in a ponytail & green eyes. She wore a yellow blouse, black skirt & shoes that were red & white. “Totodile, come on out!” said Mari, the capsule she chose made her dancing Shiny Totodile appear out of bubbles.  “Water gun!” Totodile shot a water gun at the ground which launched him into the bubbles and he jumped from bubble to bubble.  “Ice Beam!” Totodile spun around as he fell, creating a swirling tower of Ice that he slid down & then posed. The crowd applauded & Mari bowed before walking back to the trainer room. “That was good.” said Cherry. “Yeah.” said Rose. The next few trainers weren’t good then came a trainer named Amber Flare & her Cyndaquil, Amber had blue hair, tan skin, blue eyes, she wore a red suit. When she brought out Cyndaquil it came out from a fireball. Amber had Cyndaquil spin around using a flamethrower & make a Flaming Star, then used a smokescreen to put it out. The crowd clapped for them. “You’re next.” said Cherry. “Wish me luck.” said Rose. “UP next is Rose Wood from Pearsburgh!” announced Allura. “Come on Butterfree!” said Rose. Butterfree was released with a star ball capsule so colorful stars surrounded the butterfly. “Double Team!” 6 Butterfree clones appeared. “Air Slash.” The Butterfrees used air slash to push the multiple stars into one. “Energy Ball!” The Butterfrees each shot a green Energy Ball at the giant star making it explode in color tiny pieces. The crown clapped and Rose went to the back. More Trainers came out and did their performances. “Now it’s time for final coordinator Cherry Blossom from Canterlot!” announced Allura. “Pikachu!” said Cherry. Pikachu jumped out of her pokemon through sparks. “Use Double Team!” 5 Pikachu clones appeared. “Quick Attack.” The Pikachus used a quick attack to push the sparks into an electric trampoline. “Use Thunderbolt!” Pikachu used the thunderbolt to make an Electric wave, Pikachu used the electric trampoline to jump onto the electric wave and surf it.  Pikachu surfed the electric wave into the trampoline to make it shower rainbow sparks. Cherry & Pikachu bowed as the crowd clapped & the walked back to the trainer’s room. “That was cool!” said Rose, giving Cherry a hug. “It was also fun.” said Cherry. They broke their hug. “See! I told you!” said Rose. “Alright everyone the judges have made their decisions and here’s the trainers moving onto round 2!” said Allura. On the TV, The first picture shown was Mari’s, then it was two other trainers, then Cherry’s, then two more, then Rose & Amber’s. “We made it Through!” said Rose. “Now let’s randomize and see who’s facing who!” said Allura. The pictures were shuffled and it showed Cherry facing Amber in round 2. “Now let’s move onto our first match of round 2 Cherry vs Amber.” said Allura. “I’m going first.” said Cherry. “Don’t worry I’ll make it quick.” said Amber as she purposely bumped into Cherry on the way to the stage. “Oh yeah! We’ll see about that.” said Cherry as she huffed after Amber. “Good Luck.” called Rose. Mari walked up to Rose. “You & your friend did well in round 1.” said Mari. “Oh thank you.” said Rose. “welcome.” smiled Mari. Cherry & Amber made their way to the stage. “Trainers ready, bring out your pokemon.” said Allura. “Pikachu!” said Cherry, “Cyndaquil!” said Amber. “Begin!” said Allura. “Cyndaquil, flamethrower!” said Amber. “Pikachu use Surf!” said Cherry. “WHAT!” yelled Amber. The surf engulfed the flamethrower and Cyndaquil, the fire pokemon, was pushed into the wall by the wave. When the water went away, a fainted Cyndaquil was revealed. “A ONE HIT-KO!!!!!!” said Allura. “Oh….well then.” blushed Cherry. “Are you kidding me!!” groaned Amber as she returned Cyndaquil. “Cherry is moving onto round 3!” said Allura. The crowd laughed at Amber as she and Cherry walked to the back, Amber then quickly left the trainer’s room. “Great way to shut her up.” said Rose. “Yup, oh Hi!” said Cherry to Mari. “Hey.” said Mari. “I’m Cherry Blossom.” said Cherry. “Marigold Pine, I prefer Mari.” said Mari. Mari and her Lavitar defeated a trainer named Flynt & his Ponyta, then Rose & Charmander defeated a trainer named Rocky & her Machop. “Now let’s see the Round 3 matchups!” said Allura. The matchups were Cherry vs Mari and Rose vs a trainer named Haile Frost “So we're next.” said Cherry. “Good Luck.” said Mari. Cherry & Mari took their places on the stage. “Trainers bring out your pokemon.” said Allura. “Bulbasaur!” said Cherry, “Sylveon!” said Mari. “Ready go!” said Cherry. “Sludge bomb!” said Cherry. “Jump to Dodge!” said Mari. Sylveon jumped over the purple sludge ball, making Cherry lose points. “Psyshock!” said Mari. 6 purple crystals appeared and were launched at Bulbasaur as Sylveon fell to the ground. “Vine Whip!” said Cherry. Bulbasaur was able to use vine whip to knock the psyshock away, making Mari lose points. “Shadow Ball!” said Mari. Sylveon made a purple ball appear and she launched it at Bulbasaur. “Dodge!” said Cherry, Bulbasaur dodged and Mari lost points. “Now tackle!” said Cherry. Bulbasaur ran straight towards Sylveon right as Bulbasaur got close. “Sylveon jump!” said Mari. Sylveon jumped over Bulbasaur, Cherry lost points. “Now Catch it!” said Cherry.  Bulbasaur caught Sylveon in her vines, now Mari lost points. “Hmmm… nice job.” said Mari. “Thanks.” said Cherry. “Psyshock!” said Mari. Sylveon fired a quick Psyshock which hit Bulbasaur right on the head, making Bulbasaur let go & Cherry lost points. “Sludge Bomb!” said Cherry. “Psyshock!” said Mari. Both Psychock & Sludge Bomb hit and both trainers lost points. Bulbasaur was struggling to stand. “Shadow Ball!” said Mari. “Use your vines to block.” said Cherry. The shadow ball was blocked, but it still pushed the grass pokemon backwards. “And that’s time!!!!” announced Allura. Everyone looked at the scoreboard and saw that Mari was just a fraction ahead of Cherry. “The winner & moving to the finals is Mari!!!!” said Allura to the applause of the crowd. The two trainers & their pokemon walked to each other. “Great Battle.” said Mari, holding out a hand. “You two.” said Cherry, accepting the handshake. After Rose won her battle, she & Mari took their places on the stage for the finals. “It’s time for the finals to begin!” said Allura. “Totodile!” said Mari, “Mankey!” said Rose as they brought their pokemon out. “Trainers ready? Begin!” said Allura. “Totodile, water gun.” said Mari. “Mankey, Ice Punch.” said Rose. Mankey’s fist glowed blue as he punched the water gun, freezing it. The water gun then fell and shattered when it hit the ground, which lost Mari  points. “Totodile, Ice Beam.” said Mari. “Mankey, Thunderpunch.” said Rose. Mankey’s fist glowed yellow with electricity coming off it, Mankey punched into the ice beam which in-cased the fighting type’s hand in ice, which lost Rose points. “Nice.” said Mari. “Quick, use your other hand.” said Rose. Mankey lit up his other hand and quickly punched Totodile with a super effective Thunder Punch, losing Mari points.  Totodile landed on the ground, “Brick Break, Mankey.” said Rose. Mankey sprinted towards Totodile, right as Mankey got to the water pokemon. “Crunch!” said Mari. Totodile was quickly able to bite onto Mankey’s arm, losing Rose points.  “Now Ice Beam!” said Mari, Totodile started to cover Mankey’s body in ice, making Rose lose more points. “Thunder Punch!” said Rose. “Let go!” said Mari. Totodile let go of Mankey to avoid the thunder punch. “Water Gun!” said Mari. “Brick Break.” said Rose. Mankey broke up the water gun with a brick break and then broke himself out of the ice. “TIME’S UP!!!!!” announced Allura. Everyone locked up at the scoreboard and it showed Rose with more points than Mari. “The winner of the Las Pegasus Contest is Rose Wood!” said Allura. “OH MY GOSH!!!!” celebrated Rose. Rose was presented with the Wind Ribbon & excitedly went back into the trainer’s room. Mari & Rose changed back into their regular clothes and after their pokemon where healed were sitting on a bench next to the practice field behind the Pokemon Center. “Great Job.” said Cherry. “Thank you, you did great as well.” said Rose. “Not as good as you though.” said Cherry. Mari, who had changed into her regular clothes, walked up, Mari’s regular outfit was a black & yellow hat, red jacket, yellow shirt, black shorts and red & white shoes. “Evening.” said Mari. “Hey Mari, great job today.” said Rose. “Thanks, same to both of you.” said Mari. “Mari, I have a question?” asked Cherry. “Shoot.” said Mari. “What brings you all the way to Las Pegasus from Indigo Bark Town?” asked Cherry. I heard about Reorro from Professor Starswirl and since both the Reorro Grand Festival & Sapphire Conference happen before the Movalo(This World’s Johto) Grand Festival & Crystal Conference, I came here.” said Mari. “So you're going for both Gym Battles & Contests?” asked Cherry. “Only Gym Battles, I was curious about contests and wanted to try one.” answered Mari. “Same with me.” said Cherry. “How many badges do you have?” asked Rose. “Only one, I got the Blizzard Badge from the Manhattan Gym Leader.” answered Mari. “Welp, we're heading there next.” said Rose. “Well good luck you two.” said Mari. Mari set off and as Rose & Cherry made their way down Route 22 towards Manhattan they saw a Cyndaquil? Sleeping on a rock. > Episode 2- A Frosty Encounter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh my gosh, its a Cyndaquil!" cheered Cherry. "Cynda?" said Cyndaquil, stirring awake. "Pikachu." said Cherry, bringing her out. "Pi." said Pikachu. "Quil." said Cyndaquil, Cyndaquil then sniffed Pikachu. "Okay?" said Rose. "Pika." said Pikachu. "Quil." said Cyndaquil sadly and it rolled itself into a ball. "Pika, pi." said Pikachu, rubbing Cyndaquil's back. "What's going on with Pikachu?" asked Cherry. Pikachu pointed at her pokeball. "Chu." and then at the rock. "Wait, could this Cyndaquil be Amber's?" asked Rose. "Pika, pika pi." said Pikachu. "Rose's right?" asked Cherry and Pikachu nodded her head. "That's terrible of Amber to give up on Cyndaquil." said Rose. Cherry crouched down to Cyndaquil. "Hey Cyndaquil, why don't you come with us?" she said. "Cynda?" said Cyndaquil. "Yeah, you deserve a much better trainer than Amber. I'll probably make mistakes, but I'll never give up on you." said Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil sat up and nodded, Cherry pulled out a pokeball and touched it to Cyndaquil's nose, capturing it. "Cyndaquil has been added to your pokedex." said Cherry's phone. They continued walking to Manhattan, Pikachu jumped on Cherry's shoulder. "Let's see here Cyndaquil, you know Flamethrower, Smokescreen, Swift & Ember & you're a boy." said Cherry "I wonder why Amber got rid of him?" wondered Rose. "Amber must have thought he was weak after our battle." answered Cherry. "Terrible Trainer, to give up on a pokemon after one battle." said Rose. They had reached Manhattan, the city was large and was in between Route 22 & Prism Falls. They got a room together at the pokemon center. They changed into their pajamas and went to sleep. The next morning Rose woke up to the sound of the door opening. She saw Cherry only in a towel. "Morning." said Cherry. "What time is it?" asked Rose. "10 in the morning." answered Cherry. "Alright I'll get up." said Rose. Rose went to get herself a shower, when she came back. Cherry was in a bright blue bikini, Rose blushed at the sight of Cherry. "Whoa." said Rose. "I figured we could go to the beach." said Cherry. "Yeah, I like that." said Rose. Rose changed into a red bikini, which made Cherry blush. Cherry put a pink tank top & blue shorts over her swimsuit & Rose put a blue tank top & pink shorts over her swimsuit. They grabbed their bags, shoes, pokemon & Cherry also grabbed her hat. They stopped in a shop next to the beach and bought a pool inflatable loungers. When they got to the beach the girls took off their tank tops & shorts, putting them in their bags. Boys whistled at them when they saw the two in their swimsuits.  They found a spot and let their Pokemon out, Cyndaquil got nervous when the others went to say hi to him. He ran behind Cherry's leg. Cherry picked him up. "Its okay, they were just saying hi." she said. “They’re your new friends." said Rose. They started building a sandcastle, Cyndaquil sat in Cherry's lap.  "Nido." said Nidoran, looking at the sand castle curiously. Nidoran's front paws glowed and she burrowed into the ground. Causing the sand castle to collapse. "Hoot." said Hoothoot, "Bulba." said Bulbasaur, "Char." said Charmander, the three annoyed with Nidoran. Nidoran poked her head out of the hole. "Nidoran, did you just use dig?" asked Cherry. "Ran." smiled Nidoran. Nidoran burrowed even farther. "Hey, don’t go too far down." said Cherry. "So who are you going to use for your gym battle?" asked Rose. "Ice types are weak to Fire, Rock, Fighting & Steel, so Pikachu, Nidoran & hmmm Cyndaquil?" answered Cherry. "Are you sure Cyndaquil is ready for it?" asked Rose. Cherry looked at the sleeping Cyndaquil. "Well both Bulbasaur & Noctowl are weak to Ice Pokemon." she answered. “Bulbasaur seems the most ready for battle.” said Rose. “I understand, but both Nidoran & Cyndaquil need to get battle experience.” said Cherry. Rose stood up. “Well, do you want to go swimming?” she asked. “What about Charmander? We can’t risk him falling in the water.” said Cherry. “Char?” said Charmander. “What if one of us stays near the shore and he rides on our shoulders, I don’t want to leave him in his pokeball while the others get to be out.” said Rose. “And Butterfree or Noctowl can fly him out of the way if a big wave comes.” said Cherry. The trainers blew up their inflatable pool raft/ride on, their pokemon sat on the raft, Cyndaquil retracted his flame & the trainers held the raft as they walked into the ocean. Rose put on goggles and dived, she saw many pokemon swimming around. Rose was headbutted in her back by a Poliwag. Rose touched Poliwag's head and it smiled, Rose swam to the surface for air. Cherry was resting her arms & head on the raft. “AHHH!” said Cherry when her foot was grabbed, making her pokemon ready to defend their trainer. Rose popped up next to Cherry. “Did I startle you?” Rose asked. “Yes.” answered Cherry. Pikachu was then hit in the back of the head by a water gun. “Pika?” she said, annoyed. “Poli.” said the Poliwag by the back of the raft. “You followed me.” said Rose. “Wag.” smiled Poliwag. “Pika pi.” said Pikachu, annoyed. Poliwag shot water at Pikachu, making the other pokemon laugh. Pikachu jumped into the water after Poliwag. “Pikachu.” said Cherry, pulling her back up. Poliwag jumped on the raft. “Poli.” it said. “Pika.” said Pikachu. “Pikachu, you’ll zap all of us if you attack Poliwag.” said Cherry.  They went back to shore, Poliwag followed them back to their bags. “Do you want to come with us?” asked Rose. “Poli.” Poliwag nodded its head. Rose pulled out a pokeball from her bag & Poliwag shot water at the pokeball. “It wants a battle.” said Cherry. “Mankey, you want to battle?” asked Rose. “Char!” said Charmander, stepping in front of Mankey. “Are you sure?” asked Rose. Charmander blew a tiny ember in response. “Okay, Charmander lets go.” said Rose. Poliwag fired a water gun. “Dodge & use Dragon Pulse!” said Rose. Charmander jumped out of the way and hit Poliwag with a Dragon Pulse, Poliwag quickly got up and hit Charmander with a mudshot. The mud covered Charmander’s eyes. “Poli!” said Poliwag as it fired a water gun hitting Charmander, which washed away from his eyes. “Mander.” groaned Charmander. “Are you okay?” asked Rose. Charmander nodded. “Skull Bash.” said Rose. Charmander launched himself and hit Poliwag in the head, Poliwag was dazed. “Will-o-Wisp.” said Rose. Charmander glowed red and three wisps of purple fire appeared and hit Poliwag, giving it a burn. “Poli!!” groaned Poliwag as the burn hit. “Alright Pokeball!” said Rose, throwing the pokeball, it shook three times and caught Poliwag. “Poliwag’s data has been added to your pokedex.” said Rose’s Phone. Rose let out Poliwag. “Here, eat this.” said Rose, handing Poliwag a Rawst Berry. Poliwag ate the Berry and its burn was cured. “Poli.” smiled Poliwag. Rose grabbed her phone. “Lets see your moves are Water Gun, Mudshot, Icy Wind & Protect and you're a lady.” she said. They spent the next few hours swimming, and at lunch they went back to the beach. They deflated their pool raft, gathered their things & walked to the boardwalk. They ate lunch, then later dinner that night and the next morning they changed into their regular outfits and went to the Manhattan Gym. “Hello.” said Rarity, Rarity had purple hair, white skin, blue eyes. She wore a white shirt, blue pants & black shoes. “My name’s Cherry Blossom from Canterlot & I would like to challenge you to a gym battle.” said Cherry. “Alright.” smiled Rarity. Rose sat in the stands, a female ref who had red hair, orange skin, green eyes & she wore a green shirt, black pants & black shoes walked to the side of the gym field. “The Gym Battle between Manhattan Gym Leader Rarity & the Challenger Cherry from Canterlot will be a 3 v 3 battle with only the Challenger allowed to make substitutions.” said the Ref. “Sandshrew!.” said Rarity, bringing the pokemon out. “What?” said Rose, confused. Rarity’s Sandshrew was an Ice/Steel form one. “Cyndaquil!” said Cherry, bringing her out. “Ready? Begin!” said the Ref. “Cyndaquil, Flamethrower!” said Cherry. “Rock Slide!” said Rarity. The Flamethrower clashed with the falling rocks of the rock slide and caused an explosion. “Brick Break!” said Rarity. Sandshrew leaped from behind one of the rocks and hit Cyndaquil on the top of his head. “Are you okay?” asked Cherry. “Cynda.” said Cyndaquil, standing up. “Smokescreen!” said Cherry. Cyndaquil made a black smokescreen, covering the field. “Flamethrower!” said Cherry. A Flamethrower was launched out of the smoke and hit Sandshrew in the face, knocking the ice/steel type down. “Ice Spinner!” said Rarity. Sandshrew spun around like a tornado, ice coming off it and the ice/steel Pokemon hit one of the rocks into the smoke but Cyndaquil dodged. “Flamethrower!” said Cherry. Cyndaquil jumped out of the smoke. “Iron head!” said Rarity. Sandshrew’s body was covered in a steel color shine, but was hit in the face by the flamethrower, but it still was able to launch itself and hit Cyndaquil into the ground. The smoke cleared and Sandshrew was on the ground and Cyndaquil was struggling to stand. “Sandshrew is unable to battle!” said the ref. Rarity recalled Sandshrew. “Good job Sandshrew.” he said. “You did awesome Cyndaquil.” said Cherry, before recalling him to his ball. “Spheal!” said Rarity, bringing out the pokemon. “Nidoran.” said Cherry. “Water Pulse.” said Rarity  “Dodge & poison sting!” said Cherry. Nidoran dodge and hit Spheal with the poison sting, Spheal then flashed purple. “Dang it.” Rarity said, annoyed. “Water Pulse” said Rarity.  The Water Pulse then hit Nidoran, Spheal’s health was drained by the poison. “Poison sting.” said Cherry. Nidoran was able to once again hit Spheal with a poison sting. “Ice Beam!” said Rarity. “Dig to dodge.” said Cherry. Nidoran dug underground to dodge, Spheal was waiting for Nidoran to come back up. The poison had drained more health from Spheal. “Fire a Water Pulse into the hole!” Rarity said. Spheal did so, the Water Pulse pushed out Nidoran and the poison type landed hard onto the ground, making her faint. Then the poison drained the last of Spheal’s heath making it faint too. “Both Nidoran & Spheal are unable to battle.” said the ref. “My final pokemon is Vulpix!” said Rarity, bringing out Ice Form Vulpix. “Mine’s Bulbasaur.” said Cherry. “What?” said Rose. “Sludge Bomb!” said Cherry. “Now Ice Beam!” said Rarity. The Ice Beam collided with the Sludge Bomb, making an explosion.  “Vine Whip.” said Cherry. Bulbasaur reached out of the smoke and smacked Vulpix and then grabbed the fox pokemon. “Ice Beam.” said Rarity. Vulpix hit Bulbasaur square in the head with the Ice Beam, Bulbasaur still managed to hang onto Vulpix. “Sludge Bomb.” said Cherry. Bulbasaur fired two Sludge bombs in Vulpix’s face, Poisoning the Ice type. “Extrasensory.” said Rarity. Vulpix’s eyes glowed pink and it grabbed Bulbasaur with a pink aura throwing the grass type to the ground. “Bulbasaur!” said Cherry. Bulbasaur then started glowing & she evolved into Ivysaur. “Ivy!” said Ivysaur. “Ivysaur, the seed Pokemon, When the bud on its back starts swelling, a sweet aroma wafts to indicate the flower's coming bloom.” said Cherry’s phone. “Ivysaur Giga Drain!” said Cherry. “Vulpix, Ice Beam.” said Rarity. Before Vulpix could fire the Ice Beam, Ivysaur started absorbing the health of Vulpix. “Pix!” groaned Vulpix. After Ivysaur was done, she let Vulpix go and the poison finished off the Ice type. “Vulpix is unable to battle, the winner is Cherry Blossom from Canterlot.” said the Ref. “Yeah!” cheered Cherry, hugging Ivysaur. “You did it.” said Rose, coming down from the stands. “Congrats.” said Rarity. “Thank you.” said Cherry. “Here for winning, your prize is the Blizzard Badge.” said Rarity. The Blizzard badge is a blue snowflake. “One down, seven to go.” said Rose. “Next stop, San Pontonio.” said Cherry. > Episode 3- Pontonio Throwdown > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cherry & Rose had reached San Pontonio, they entered the pokemon center, healed their pokemon and got a room.  “There’s a contest in 2 days.” said Rose. “Do you want me to join you?” asked Cherry. “You don’t have to.” said Rose. “I ... .uh ready enjoyed doing the contests.” blushed Cherry. “No need to be embarrassed.” said Rose. They went to the clothing store, Cherry found a green dress with a pink flower pattern on it & green heels. Rose found an orange dress with a flame pattern on it & orange heels. They bought their new dresses and as they walked back to the pokemon center they saw three individuals wearing black clothing in an alley. The individuals were a blue haired woman, a silver haired man, a purple haired woman & there was a Purrloin on the shoulders of the blue haired woman. "I wonder what they're up to?" wondered Cherry. "Probably nothing." said Rose. After putting their dresses in their room, they entered the San Pontonio Gym. There was a Woman standing at the end of the Gym Field. The woman had tan skin, blonde hair, green eyes, she was wearing a yellow cowboy hat, a green jacket, white shirt, blue pants & brown boots. “My name’s Applejack, welcome to my Gym.” said Applejack. “I’m Cherry Blossom from Canterlot.” said Cherry. “How many gym Badges do you have?” Applejack asked. “1.” answered Cherry. Applejack walked to a table with 10 pokeballs on it. She picked up 3 pokeballs. “I’ll use these ones.” said Applejack. A younger woman that was related to Applejack walked to the side of the gym field. “I’m Applejack’s sister, Applebloom and I’ll be the ref. This gym battle between San Pontonio Gym Leader Applejack & Challenger Cherry of Canterlot will be a 3 v 3 with only the challenger allowed to make substitutions.” said Applebloom. “My first pokemon is Geodude.” said Applejack, bringing out a Geodude. “Mine is Ivysaur.” said Cherry. “Begin!” said Applebloom. “Rollout.” said Applejack. “Catch it with your vines.” said Cherry. Ivysaur caught Geodude. “Fire Punch!” said Applejack. Geodude’s fist got covered in fire. “Giga Drain.” said Cherry. Ivysaur has hit with the Fire Punch and then green energy hit Geodude & its heath was absorbed by Ivysaur. “Vine whip.” said Cherry. “Block it with a Fire Punch.” said Applejack. Ivysaur hit Geodude before it could get a fire punch off. Geodude was rolled backwards, revealing it had fainted. “Geodude is unable to battle.” said Applebloom. “Sandile!” said Applejack. “Can you still battle Ivysaur?” asked Cherry. “Ivy.” said Ivysaur, nodding her head. “Giga Drain.” said Cherry. “Dodge it.” said Applejack. Sandile jumped out of the way of the Giga Drain. “Fire Fang.” said Applejack. “Look out.” said Cherry. Ivysaur tried to run but was caught by Sandile and her leg was bitten by the Fire Fang. “Crunch.” said Applejack. Sandile’s teeth glowed purple & bit Ivysaur with the Crunch. “Ivy!” groaned Ivysaur.  “Giga Drain.” said Cherry. “Quick another Fire Fang.” said Applejack. Sandile hit another Fire Fang, knocking out Ivysaur. “Pikachu.” said Cherry. “Rock Slide.” said Applejack. “Use Surf!” said Pikachu. “What!” said Applejack. The Surf engulfed the falling Rocks of the Rock Slide and Sandile was hit by both the Surf & the rocks, when the water disappeared a fainted Sandile was revealed. “Sandile is unable to battle.” said Applebloom. “My final pokemon is Trapinch!” said Applejack, bringing a shiny Trapinch. “Pikachu quick attack.” said Cherry. “Earthquake!” said Applejack. Pikachu ran towards, Trapinch’s feet glowed and she stomped on the ground making it shake and Pikachu was launched towards the wall “Crunch!” said Applejack. Trapinch launched herself and bit Pikachu in the head. Pikachu was dazed. “Bug Bite!” said Applejack. Trapinch’s mouth glowed green and bit Pikachu with the Bug Bite, knocking out Pikachu.  “Pikachu is unable to battle.” said Applebloom. “Cyndaquil!” said Cherry. “Rock Slide.” said Applejack. “Dodge!” said Cherry. Cyndaquil quickly dodged the falling rocks. “Earthquake.” said Applejack. “Jump!” said Cherry. Cyndaquil jumped in the air to avoid the Earthquake. “Now Flamethrower!” said Cherry. Cyndaquil hit Trapinch with a Flamethrower, but as soon as he landed. “Crunch.” said Applejack.  Trapinch quickly hit Cyndaquil with a Crunch, then throwing Cyndaquil with her mouth. “Are you okay?” asked Cherry. “Cynda.” groaned Cyndaquil standing up. “Flamethrower!” said Cherry. Fire engulfed Cyndaquil and then a red light appeared, then flames dispersed revealing Cyndaquil had evolved into Quilava, his two flames got bigger and he shot a flamethrower at Trapinch. “Use Rock Slide to Block it.” said Applejack. The fall rocks missed the Flamethrower and Trapinch was hit by it. “Trapinch!” groaned Trapinch as she struggled to stand. Quilava panted as he walked in front of Cherry, the two pokemon stared at each other before Trapinch passed out. “Trapinch is unable to battle, that means the victor is Cherry Blossom of Canterlot.” said Applebloom. “Yes!” said Cherry. “Qui.” smiled Quilava. “Way to go!” said Rose. Applejack returned Trapinch to her pokeball and walked to Cherry. “Congrats, here’s your crater badge.” smiled Applejack.(The crater badge is in the shape of an orange crater.) “Thank you.” said Cherry. “Next is our contest.” said Rose. In the Pokemon Center the mysterious blue haired woman, purple haired woman & silver haired guy. “Report!” said a woman on their phone. “We’ve arrived in San Pontonio.” said the blue haired woman. “Good, there’s one of those contests happening. Perfect time to steal a lot of Pokemon.” said the woman. “Yes boss.” said the silver haired man, before hanging up. “One of us should enter the contest, so they can be back there with those trainers. Allowing the other two to steal the pokemon.” said the purple haired woman. “Syrena.” said the silver haired man. “What! What about you, Onyx or you Hazel?” said Syrena. “I’m not playing dress-up.” said Onyx. “Neither am I.” said Hazel. “Fine, I’ll do it.” said Syrena. The next day Cherry & Rose headed to Route 3, where they were approached by two bug catchers. Cherry used Nidoran & Rose used Charmander, after the battle both Nidoran & Charmander glowed white and evolved into Nidorina & Charmeleon. They entered Mt. Comet, where they found multiple people wearing black clothing with yellow "N's" on them. “Who are you?” asked Cherry. “Team Nexus.” said a female Nexus member. “After we beat you, give us your pokemon!” said a male Nexus member. The female Nexus member brought out a Grimer & and male member brought out a Ekans. Cherry brought out Hoothoot & Rose brought out Poliwag. “Look, that's shiny.” said the male Nexus member. "More valuable." said the female grunt. "Hoothoot, psychic." said Cherry. "Poliwag, water pulse." said Rose. Hoothoot one shot the Grimer and then she & Poliwag defeated the Ekans. Hoothoot then glowed and evolved into Noctowl. "Yes!" said Cherry. Cherry & Rose went through more of Mt. Comet, they battled more Team Nexus grunts, Rose's Mankey evolved into Primeape. They found a room on the Mountain where there were evolution stones. "So this is what they were after." said Rose. "Yes and they'll be Team Nexus’s." said a purple haired woman. "Another easy battle." said Cherry. "Just because you two defeated the useless grunts, doesn't mean you can defeat me, Pearl." said Pearl. Cherry brought out Ivysaur and Rose Chameleon. Pearl brought out a Muk(Poison/Dark form) & a Banette. "Dark Pulse & Shadow Ball!" said Pearl. "Energy Ball." said Cherry. "Flamethrower." said Rose. The Energy & Shadow balls collided and the Dark Pulse and Flamethrower collided, making two explosions. "Flash Canon!!!" said Applejack from Behind. A white beam was fired and hit Banette, Cherry & Rose turned around to see an Aggron standing next to Applejack. "Not fair!!!!" complained Pearl. "Earthquake!" said Applejack. Aggron stomped on the ground and the Earthquake hit the Muk. "Ah!!!!!" screamed Pearl. Pearl Brought out an Arbok. "Poison Fang the Charmeleon, Dark Pulse the Ivysaur and Shadow Ball the Aggron." he commanded his team. Arbok slithered to Charmeleon. "Now Flamethrower!" said Rose. Charmeleon blasted Arbok with Flamethrower, Banette launched a Shadow Ball at Aggron, but Aggron shot another Flash Canon which burst threw the Shadow Ball and hit Banette. Ivysaur dodged the Dark Pulse from Muk and hit Muk with a Giga Drain. Banette was knocked out by the Flash Canon. "No!!" yelled Pearl. Cherry recalled Ivysaur and brought out Nidorina. "Dig." said Cherry. Nidorina dug underground. "Iron Head!" said Applejack. Aggron charged Muk and hit it with Iron Head, knocking it backwards. Then Nidorina jumped out of the ground and hit Muk with the dig, knocking it out. "Flamethrower!" said Rose. Chameleon hit Arbok with another Flamethrower, knocking it out. "AHHHHHHH!!!!!" screamed Pearl and she then ran out of Mt. Comet. "Great job, you two." said Applejack. "Thanks." said Cherry. Cherry & Rose each picked up a Moon Stone, Fire Stone, Leaf Stone, Thunder Stone, Water Stone & Ice Stone. "You can evolve Nidorina & Pikachu if you want." said Rose. Cherry brought out Pikachu and she held the Moon & Thunder Stones. "These two Stones can evolve you two, do you want to evolve now?" asked Cherry. "Nida.", "Pika." said Nidorina & Pikachu, shaking their heads. "Alright, we'll wait until a later day." said Cherry. The three made their way back to San Pontonio, and they healed their Pokemon.  Cherry called up her dad. "Hey, Dad." she said. "Cherry dear, how's the journey?" asked Cherry’s dad. "Good this is my friend Rose." said Cherry, turning the phone to show Rose. "Hi, Mr. Blossom." said Rose. "Nice to meet you dear, you can call me Duke by the way. Hopefully you're keeping my little Cherry out of trouble." said Duke. "I'll try." said Rose. "Dad, we just stopped these weirdos known as Team Nexus from doing whatever in Mt. Comet." said Cherry. "Team Nexus! Those people are dangerous Cherry. You two should stay away from them." said Duke. "We kicked their butts." said Cherry. "Sounds like you battle inexperienced members. Their leader is probably very dangerous." said Duke. "We understand Mr. Blossom and we'll try to stay away." said Rose.. "Thank you Rose." said Duke. "Goodbye Dad." said Cherry. "I Love you." said Duke. "I love you too." said Cherry, before hanging up. "Awwww." smiled Rose. "Shut it." said Cherry. Later that day walking into the game corner in Totrotto City was Duke. He wore a black jacket, white shirt, white blank pants & red shoes. He walked up to a picture of a Liepard, he lifted up her hand revealing the Team Nexus "N" on the top left on his jacket. The secret passage opened, he took off her jacket revealing a Nexus “N” on his shirt & so the grunts would see his admin status clothing. He walked into an office, there was a woman wearing a black blazer, blue blouse, black pants & shoes. She had blue skin, yellow eyes and had black hair that had a purple streak and was alone drinking wine. “Hello Raven .” said Duke. "Duke, it's been along time." said Raven .. "I know, it's your fault." said Duke. "Still holding on to that." said Raven . "You chose Cobalt over myself & our daughter. I also never agreed with any of your plans." said Duke. "It's been 15 years & we only had a one night stand." said Raven . The door opened and a white haired man with purple skin, cobalt blue eyes and wearing a white suit entered the room. "What are you doing back?" asked Cobalt. "Duke was telling me how our daughter is doing." answered Raven . "Well your daughter was one of the trainers who stopped Pearl at Mt. Comet." said Cobalt. "I see." said Raven . "Please Raven , don't hurt her. She's your daughter, Scarlet's sister." said Duke. "Sit." said Raven . Duke sat in the chair in front of Raven's desk. "Anything else?" asked Duke. "To pay for Cherry’s interference, I want you to take a team to diglett's cave, bring me fossils and steal any pokemon from trainers that get in your way." said Raven . “And you’ll leave Cherry alone?” Duke asked. “Yes, as long as she doesn’t interfere anymore, now go." answered Raven . In Diglett's cave Duke had found a female scientist with fossils. Duke had a white mask that concealed the bottom part of his face only showing his eyes & hair. "Please don't, this is my life's work." said the scientist. Duke pushed the scientist to the ground. "Now if you don't hand them over----" Duke took a pokemon from his pocket & brought out an Electivire. Duke snapped his fingers and Electivire wrapped a tail around the arm of the scientist. "I’ll have Electivire zap you." said Duke. "Okay, okay!!!" said the Scientist. The two grunts with Duke took the fossils and Electivire let the Scientist go. "Good choice." said Duke. The three Nexus members walked out of the cave, Duke felt nauseous after doing that. "Great job." said the female grunt. "Yeah that was awesome." said the male grunt. Duke pulled out a white cased Phone. "Call Raven ." said Duke. "Report?" asked Raven . "I got them." answered Duke. "Good, take them to Emerald." said Raven . Duke dropped the fossils off at Emerald's lab on Jasper Island & went back to Raven's office underneath the game corner. "Well?" said Raven . "They'll take a few days to be revived." answered Duke. "Good, now leave." said Raven .
