Joe's Adventure in Chuso Chapter 1

It has been one year since Rainbow Rocket has been defeated, and Joe has registered 127 additional Pokemon in that time, even some native to Chuso. After hearing how fun Chuso is, Joe decided to travel to the Region himself. The first stop he went to was Professor Jennifer Spruce’s lab in Strawburg. When he entered the lab, she greeted Joe with excitement.

“Joseph!” She said. “What brings you to Chuso today?”

“Well,” Joe started. “I’ve been told that Chuso is a fun Region to explore, as well as the ability to use seven Pokemon in your party instead of just six.”

“That’s correct, Joseph!” Said Jennifer. “I’ve been told that you’ve already registered 327 different Pokemon species. Is that true?”

“Why, yes it is, madam!” Said Joe proudly.

“Well,” Said Jennifer, picking up three different Poke Balls. “As with every other Pokemon Professor, I will hand out three different Pokemon for you to pick from. The Grass-Type avian Rowlet,” Rowlet was sent out. “The Fire-Type reptile Charmander,” Charmander was sent out. “And the Water-Type amphibian Froakie.” Froakie was sent out. “And no, these Pokemon don’t have Regional forms or new Evolutions. So, which one will you pick?”

“Well,” Joe thought out loud. “I already have a Grass/Ghost-Type Pokemon with Gourgeist, a Fire/Flying-Type Pokemon with Talonflame, and a Water/Dark-Type Pokemon with Crawdaunt. But then again, Charizard can Mega Evolve, and Mega Charizard X is Fire/Dragon, a Type combo I don’t have yet. Not to mention that I only have a baker's dozen Pokemon capable of Mega Evolving. I’ll pick Charmander!”

"Very good!” Said Jennifer, returning Rowlet and Froakie to their Poke Balls and handing Charmander’s ball to Joe. “Here’s Charmander’s ball. Please put him back inside.” Joe returned the Lizard Pokemon back to his Poke Ball, and Jennifer gave Joe a piece of paper.

“This is a list of all eight Gym Leaders you’ll face on your quest.” She said. “Two of these Trainers, Kathy and Bobby, will have Pokemon different from how other Trainers will face them.”

“Got it!” Said Joe, grabbing the paper.

“Just one more thing to tell you!” Said Jennifer. “The Gym Leaders would like you to use the same amount of Pokemon as them.”

“Okay!” Said Joe. “I’ll be on my way now!” Joe sent out Talonflame and set off for Apricot City.

Meanwhile, in Mahogany Town, Ghetsis has beaten yet another Trainer with his trusty Cryogonal. However, he noticed something shiny hanging from a tree right in front of the Gym, and fresh Cheri Berries were growing from it!

“Cheri Berries?” He asked himself. “Even when they shouldn’t be growing on pine trees?” He plucked the Berries from the tree and noticed something hard inside. Ghetsis opened the Berry and was surprised to find what was inside.

“This cannot be a pit.” He said. “Cheri pits are dark red. This one is bright blue. There can only be one explanation: Last year, Giovanni captured Xerneas, along with Groudon, Kyogre, and Arceus, to create his own planets with Archie, Maxie, and Lysandre. One of Xerneas’s crystals must have fallen off and scattered around here. I wonder what would happen if I were to eat this…” Ghetsis took a bite out of the remains of the Cheri, and immediately, he turned younger. His hair turned green, his bones and body regressed by 25 years, and he no longer needed a cane. Ghetsis was young again, and he had a new plan!

“I feel young again!” He exclaimed. “Time to reunite Team Plasma and liberate humans from Pokemon, for real this time! Good thing I caught a new Party of Pokemon after my last batch got confiscated by the police.” Ghetsis pulled a Poke Ball out of his cloak, sent out Fearow, and flew off to Unova to get as many crew members as possible.
