Rise of Rainbow Rocket Chapter 6

Back in Kanto, Blue has defeated another Trainer who was fighting for the Earth Badge.

“I thought you used Ground-Type Pokémon!” Said the Trainer.

“That was the old leader!” Said Blue. “I, on the other hand, use Pokémon of different Types, and the only Trainer who can defeat me is…” He was interrupted by a phone call. “Hello?”

“This is Lance of the Elite Four, or at least, before I became Champion.”  Said the voice. “Giovanni has captured Kyogre, and you and Red have been assigned to track him down and rescue Kyogre! Got it?”

“Crystal clear!” Replied Blue. “I'll get Blue as soon as I can!” Blue then hung up and spoke to the kid. “Sorry, kid. The Viridian Gym will be closed until further notice.” He then ran outside to find Blue.

Meanwhile, in Hoenn, Giovanni and Archie have arrived at the west entrance to Rusturf Tunnel.

“Groudon lives in a cave within a cave, huh?” Said Giovanni. “And that cave happens to be Rusturf Tunnel, which is inhabited by nothing but Whismur, a Pokémon that emits a powerful cry when danger is near. How should we get rid of them?”

“I’ll handle this, boss.” Said Archie, sending out Whiscash. “Whiscash, use Surf!” Whiscash summoned a tidal wave that flooded the whole cave and washed out the Whismur to Verdanturf Town.

“That was easy.” Said Giovanni, and he, Archie, and Whiscash went inside the cave. “You said the northernmost reaches of the tunnel, Archie?”

“Yes.” He replied. “Over there, to be precise.” He pointed to the northernmost section of the tunnel. They walked over to the section, and Giovanni sent out Rhyperior.

“Rhyperior!” He commanded. “Use Hammer Arm!” Rhyperior swung his mighty arm at the wall and broke it apart, and a mighty roar could be heard from inside.

“That must be Groudon.” Said Archie. “I’ll use Whiscash for this battle.” They went inside the cave and saw Groudon, who was angry for being awakened.

“Whiscash!” Said Archie. “Use Muddy Water!” Whiscash shot muddy water at Groudon, dealing a substantial amount of damage to the Continent Pokémon. Groudon used Slash on Whiscash, but the Whiskers Pokémon endured the hit.

“Whiscash!” Said Archie. “Use Aqua Tail!” Whiscash swung its tail as if it were a vicious wave in a raging storm, making Groudon faint.

“Now’s our chance!” Said Giovanni. “Throw a Dusk Ball!” Archie threw a Dusk Ball at Groudon, and after a few seconds, the Ball clicked.

“Is it me, or are Legendaries becoming easier to catch?” Archie asked.

“Who cares?” Asked Giovanni. “Our next stop is the Max Lair, but we’ll need another Trainer to tag along. We’ll need Lysandre to track down Xerneas.”

Joe had finally arrived at the Union Cave in Johto. Because Trainers can be unpredictable, he kept a laptop in his backpack with it’s own Pokémon Storage System pre-programmed so Trainers don’t have to keep going to Pokémon Centers. After lots of spelunking and fighting more Trainers, Joe noticed a Lapras eating the remains of a Krabby 40 feet away. He quietly pulled out Bibarel and rode it towards the Transport Pokémon.

“Don’t worry, Lapras.” Joe assured. “I won’t hurt you. I will throw a Quick Ball at you, and you will be my partner. We need to fight people who use Pokémon for evil. Do you want to join us?” After hesitating for a while, Lapras nodded its head yes.

“Great!” Said Joe, throwing the Ball at Lapras. After a few seconds of wobbling, the Quick Ball clicked, and Lapras was caught.

“Fantastic!” Exclaimed Joe. “Now to escape.” Joe pulled out an Escape Rope, which was long enough to reach an exit out of the cave. Once he got out, Joe pulled out his list.

“Let’s see.” Joe said to himself. “Talonflame? Check! Crawdaunt? I probably won’t be needing it, but check! Dedenne? After a lot of searching, check! Medicham? Soon to be check. Gogoat? Check! Aggron? I have Aron. Lapras? Check! Shiftry? I have Seedot. Quagsire? Not check. While I can always catch a Wooper, it’s more convenient to catch a Quagsire fully evolved, and I can always breed him/her with another Pokémon to get a Wooper egg later. Our next stop will be Route 14 in Kalos!” Joe sent out Talonflame and flew to his next location.

Author's Note: In Pokémon Gold and Silver, as well as the remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver, if players enter the Union Cave on Fridays, they'll encounter a lone Lapras at Level 20.
