A Corsola Caper!

The gang had stopped by Blue rock island where they did some fishing while waiting for the next ferry. Brock had managed to catch a Corsola, Ashlyn caught a shiny Corsola which she named Coraline, and Volkner caught a Lanturn. However Misty didn't get a Corsola, much to her chagrin. But she managed to get a Feebas. By the time they decided to stop and return the fishing rods, the boat arrived. The gang quickly got onto the boat and headed towards Yellow Rock Isle.

===============================================

The gang had arrived by the ferry at Yellow Rock Isle, a city called Megi City.

"Hey guys listen to this. Yellow Rock Isle relies on many type of Pokémon to power it's fishing and farming industries." Brock informed.

"Wah, that's yellow alright." Misty said, looking directly at a yellow rock.

"It's easy to see where it gets its name." Brock commented.

"Yeah and the path is yellow too." Ashlyn agreed, seeing the path all yellow stoned.

"Rai." Tesla and Raichu said.

"Oh wow." Misty said as she walked towards a store, "Check it you guys. It's beautiful." She said.

It was a gift shop, that has some beautiful pink-color crystals that is made into jewelry-like objects.

"They're beautiful." Ashlyn said.

"I wonder what they're made from?" Misty questioned.

The shop clerk appeared, "Those Corsola horns art pieces sure are beautiful aren't they?" He asked.

"Huh?" Misty said, surprised and looked the crystals, "These are Corsola horns?"

"That's right. Every year Corsola shed their horns and we use them to make these art pieces." The shop owner explained.

Misty was amazed, "All these beauty from a Corsola... End of discussion, I'll definitely catch a Corsola!" She said, determined and flames in her blue-green eyes.

Ashlyn giggled at her friend's determination.

Then Ashlyn noticed a snow globe and inside the globe was a coral reef with five Corsola inside. She picked it up and looked at it closely, "This will be perfect for mom." She decided.

"I think she'll love it." Volkner added.

She bought the item and had it sent to Pallet Town. Ashlyn also included a birthday card with it. She knew right away that her mum would love her gift.

"Rai?" Tesla and Raichu's ears twitched, "Raichu!" Suddenly they took off.

"Tesla?!" Ashlyn exclaimed.

"Raichu!" Volkner called out.

"Something must be wrong if Tesla and Raichu is running off like that." Brock suggested.

"Let's go." Ashlyn decided.

===========================================

The gang followed Tesla and Raichu, who led them to a beach.

"What's wrong, Tesla?" Ashlyn asked.

"Raichu?" Volkner asked.

Tesla and Raichu pointed towards the ocean, "Rairai Raichu!" They exclaimed.

"What?" Brock and Misty asked.

Volkner saw the problem immediately, "That's the problem." He said.

"Huh?!" Misty and Brock exclaimed.

The gang saw a floating house on the ocean and it was moving.

"Corsola! Corsola! (Help us! Help us!)" Corsola beside a little girl exclaimed.

The little girl saw the gang, "Help us please!" She shouted, afraid.

"They're being swept out to the sea!" Brock shouted.

"We gotta help them." Misty said.

"Yeah, but we need to get to her." Ashlyn added.

Volkner spotted a speed boat nearby, "We'll use that boat." He said.

=============================================

The gang quickly ran towards the speed boat and got into it, Volkner started it up and drove off towards the house.

Tesla and Raichu paled when they saw something ahead of them, "Rai! Raichu Rai! (Whirlpool! Whirlpool in front!)" They exclaimed.

Ashlyn paled at that.

"What's wrong?" Misty asked.

"There's a whirlpool and the house is heading towards it." Ashlyn replied, quickly.

"Say what?!" Brock and Misty exclaimed, shocked.

On the floating house, the little girl cried even more and the Corsola beside was trying to calm her down.

"Hold on." Volkner drove the speed boat faster.

The speed boat is a little closer.

"Brock, bring out Victreebel! She'll be able to use her Vine Whip to hold onto the house! I'll bring out Cybele!" Ashlyn said.

Brock nodded, "Right!"

Brock let out Victreebel and Ashlyn let out Cybele. The two grass types used Vine Whip to grab hold of the house wood rail.

"Nice work." Brock and Misty praised.

Volkner nodded and turns the boat around as the two Pokémon landed onto back of the speed boat, he drove the boat away from the whirlpool till the reached the beach.

=============================================

"I'm Maury Hoshino and we're so grateful to you all." The man said to the gang.

"You saved my little sister." The young teen girl said. "Oh and my name is Andrea Hoshino."

Maury looked at the little girl, "You're a lucky girl Mika."

'Mika' nodded, "Hm."

"But how can we ever thank you?" Andrea asked.

Brock was instantly by her side, "My dear you've already thanked us with that wonderful smile of yours. Hi I'm Brock. Although I aspire to be a great Pokémon breeder, I really aspire to get to know you better."

Then Misty grabbed Brock's ear and pulled him away, "Okay, but now its time to get your aspirations out of here."

"Toge Toge Togephrii!" Togepi chirped.

"We're glad to help but what happened that your house drift off to sea?" Ashlyn asked, curiously.

"Well, you see we live on top of a whole batch of Corsola." Andrea started.

"Huh?"

"What do you mean on top of Corsola?" Misty asked, confused.

"Guess we can say on top of a Corsola nest."

"Interesting." Volkner commented.

"It's been a tradition here on Yellow Rock Isle to built home on top of Corsola nests." Andrea explained, further.

"Hmm, I did read something like that." Ashlyn said.

"Daddy is an artist who works with Corsola's horn and since Corsola shed and regrows them all the time. Living above a Corsola nest makes it very easy to collect." Andrea explained.

"Corsola Corsola Corsola!" The Corsola beside Mika jumped up and down, happily.

"Corsola is so cute. Is it yours?" Misty asked.

"No, this one isn't. One day it just appeared on our doorstep." Andrea replied.

"It did?"

"Yeah."

"Eh, I get the feeling that this one caused trouble?" Ashlyn mumbled.

Andrea giggled, "Ashlyn's right, "It aren't like any Corsola from around here, this one was so much more energy and we seem can't to stop it from attacking all the others." She said.

"We think that the Corsola has finally had enough of it. And without any Corsola left, the fountain of the nest broke apart from the shore and our house slid out to sea." Andrea explained, as she has a flashback of her little sister on the house and being dragged out to the sea, it scared her, "This brave little Corsola here, struggle to bring back our house to the shore but it didn't have enough strength. And that's how the house floated away with Mika and Corsola onboard."

"I'm glad that Tesla and Raichu saw the house floating away and we managed to rescue Mika, Corsola and the house." Ashlyn said.

Corsola looked at Tesla and Raichu who didn't have a good feeling about this.

"Rai?" Tesla sweated.

Corsola gave a happy smiled and jumped, "Corsola!" It looking like it's going to tackle them.

"Rai!" Tesla and Raichu jumped out of the way and Tesla quickly got onto Ashlyn's shoulder while Raichu went behind Volkner.

"This Corsola is a wild Corsola." Misty said, she then smiled, "That's great. I can catch it."

"How about later." Brock stopped his fellow Gym Leader.

"You're right."

"Somehow we gotta find a way on getting our Corsola back." Maury said.

"Because our future depends on them." Andrea said.

"We can help." Ashlyn offered.

"Yeah, we can get them back if we work together." Brock commented.

"Oh thank you." Andrea smiled.

=======================================

Apparently Andrea, Mika, and their dad had nine Corsola in total and their names were Bonnie, Annie, Danny, Johnny, Connie, Donnie, Ronnie, Lonnie and Manny. Thanks to team work, the nine Corsola were all found safe and sound.

"That's all of them." Andrea smiled, after she counted them all.

"We couldn't have done it without your help." Maury said.

"You're welcome. We're just glad that they are safe." Ashlyn said.

"We're a family again." Andrea said.

"Corsola!" The wild Corsola was happy as well.

"With all the missing Corsola found." Misty looked at the wild Corsola beside her, "It's time to catch you."

"... Lp!... He... Help! ... ... ... HELP!" A male voice yelled out. "Please help me!" The clerk owner from the gift shop begged.

"What's the matter?" Maury asked.

"Robbers, they have stolen some of my jewelry from my store." The clerk owner answered, taking deep breaths.

"Oh no, do you know who they are?" Andrea asked.

"I think I can guess who they are." Ashlyn stated.

Suddenly cables came out of nowhere and wrapped around the nine Corsola's, reeling them up.

"Corsola Corsola?!" The nine Corsola's exclaimed. "Laaaa!"

Mika gasped.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Three laughers were heard.

"Those voices." Misty started.

"Yep, it's Team Rocket." Ashlyn ended.

"Thank you for the Corsola and the beautiful jewelry." Jessie said.

"Now we'll take our leave." James said.

"That's right." Meowth said.

"Oh no you won't. Murkrow, attack Team Rocket balloon." Ashlyn sent out the Darkness Pokémon.

"Murkrow!" The Darkness Pokémon appeared and he quickly flew towards Team Rocket balloon and burst the balloon with his beak.

"Ahhhhh!" Team Rocket screamed as they are falling.

BOOM! Team Rocket crashed onto the beach.

"Give me back the jewelry!" The clerk owner shouted.

"And return those Corsola's back." Maury demanded.

"No way!" Team Rocket refused.

"Cloyster!" Jessie sent out the bivalve Pokémon.

"Cloyster." The bivalve Pokémon appeared.

"Go Skiploom!" James sent out the cottonweed Pokémon.

"Loom!" The newly evolve Skiploom appeared.

"Murkrow Krow." Murkrow was ready.

"Corsola!" The wild Corsola help, it wasn't happy.

"Cloyster use Spike Cannon." Jessie commanded.

"Skiploom use Bullet Seed." James commanded.

"Cloyster Cloy." The bivalve fired Spike Cannon towards darkness Pokémon.

"Skip!" Skiploom fires Bullet Seed towards the coral Pokémon.

"Murkrow use Brave Bird on Cloyster." Ashlyn said.

"Murkrow Mur!" The darkness Pokémon drives down towards the bivalve Pokémon, dodging the Spike Cannon with Brave Bird.

"Corsola Cor!" The coral Pokémon cried out in pain, it was injured by the Bullet Seed, but it's body glowed light yellow and it was healed. "Laaaa..."

"It used Recover." Brock said.

"Now I really want it." Misty declared.

"Oi." Volkner gave the Cerulean gym leader a deadpanned look.

"Corsola Corsola!" Corsola body glowed and blue spears of ice, fired towards the cottonweed Pokémon.

"Skip? Skip!" The Icicle Spear hit Skiploom, causing it to faint.

"Hey, that Corsola knows Icicle Spear like my Corsola." Brock commented.

"Mur-krow!" The darkness Pokémon crashed into the bivalve Pokémon.

"Cloy-ster!" Cloyster cried in pain as it was hit by the Brave Bird attack and it fainted.

"Murkrow!" Murkrow flinched slight at the recoil damage, he felt.

"Murkrow use Steel Wing to cut the lines." Ashlyn said.

Murkrow's wings glowed metallic color and he used them to slice the cables, freeing the nine Corsola's.

"Corsola! Corsola!" All nine Corsola were happy to be free.

The wild Corsola hopped towards the nine Corsola, "Corsola Cor!" It exclaimed.

The nine Corsola nodded.

Then the wild Corsola and nine Corsola all used Spike Cannon together.

"Uh oh!" Team Rocket paled as the Spike Cannon headed towards them. "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" They yelped in pain and they dropped the sack that held the jewelry.

"Tesla-"

"Raichu-"

"Thunderbolt." Ashlyn and Volkner said.

"Rai Raichuuuuu!" Tesla and Raichu fired a Thunderbolt with Spike Cannon.

The Spike Cannon changes to yellow with sparks around it and it was headed towards Team Rocket who groaned as they know they are going to be blasted off.

BOOM! BLAST! Team Rocket were blasted away into the sky.

"My dreams...of royalty...up in smoke." Jessie complained.

"Take a guess on how many times we blasted off." Meowth suggested.

"500?" James guessed.

"HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!" Team Rocket exclaimed before they disappeared into the sky.

The clerk owner was extremely happy to have this stolen jewelry back and he thanked the gang, before heading back to his shop.

======================================

Then Misty has decided that it was the right time to catch the wild Corsola, there were no more distractions.

"Corsola, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time." Misty said.

"Not really, you were really eager to try and capture the Corsola." Brock commented.

"You will be caught."

"She ignored Brock." Volkner pointed out.

Brock sighed.

Ashlyn chuckled.

"That Corsola is looking pretty strong." Andrea said.

The wild Corsola stayed still and just smiled.

"Are you ready Corsola?" Misty asked the coral Pokémon.

"Corsola." The wild Corsola said.

"Go, Vaporeon!" Misty sent out her bubble jet Pokémon.

"Vaporeon." It said, as it appeared.

"Vaporeon its time to catch ourselves a new friend."

"Vay." Vaporeon nodded.

"Vaporeon use Shadow Ball." Vaporeon fires a Shadow Ball attack.

"Corsola!" The Shadow Ball hits the coral Pokémon and then it immediately tackled the bubble jet Pokémon.

"Vayy!" The bubble jet Pokémon cries out.

"Uh, Vaporeon use Iron Tail." Misty said.

Vaporeon stopped and dashed towards the coral Pokémon with it tail glowing metallic color and it slammed it, hitting Corsola and sending it flying into the air and crashing onto the sandy beach with swirling eyes.

"Corsola.... Laaaa!" Corsola used Recover and it immediately used Icicle Spear towards Vaporeon.

"Watch out Vaporeon!" Misty exclaimed.

Vaporeon jumped backwards, dodging all the Icicle Spear. "Vaporeon." It eyes the Corsola.

"Vaporeon use Water Pulse!" Vaporeon launched a wave of water towards the coral Pokémon.

"Corsolaaaaaa!" Corsola body glowed and it sent the Water Pulse back.

"Vayyyy!" Vaporeon cried out in pain as it was hit.

Brock gawked, "That was a Mirror Coat." He said.

"That Corsola sure is full of energy, knowing Icicle Spear, Recover and Mirror Coat. It's going to be tough." Ashlyn said.

"That Corsola is amazing." Misty said, "Okay then, we have to keep attacking it Vaporeon, we'll tire it out."

"Vaporeon!" The bubble jet Pokémon nodded, as it stood up.

"Okay Vaporeon use Double Team and Tackle!" Vaporeon created multiple copies of itself, surround the coral Pokémon.

"Corsola? La?" Corsola looked around confused, it couldn't tell which is real or fake.

Vaporeon immediately tackles Corsola hard and it also uses Quick Attack and Aurora Beam to finish it.

Corsola collapsed from all the attacks, with swirling eyes.

"Hurry and catch Corsola Misty before it uses Recover!" Ashlyn called out.

"Right. This Lure Ball is ready to go." Misty said and tossed the Lure Ball at the unconscious Corsola and it was caught. "Finally! I got a Corsola!"

"Congratulations Misty." Ashlyn said.

"Togepriii!" Togepi trilled in happiness.

===============================================

As the sunset, Hoshino family and their Corsola's all waved goodbye to the gang.

"Thank you, you guys!" Andrea said.

"Have a safe trip." Maury said.

"Don't forget to take care of your Corsola okay?" Mika reminded.

"I will!" Misty replied. "It's one of the family now."

"Bye." Ashlyn said.

Volkner waved.

"Take care." Brock said.

==============================================

And so after helping the Hoshino family with finding their nine Corsola's and Misty has obtained a new friend, the gang continues on their journey to the Whirl Cup.
