Ch 27: Celadon City

The morning sun had finally illuminated, high up in the sky. Because of the brightness, Wes finally woke.

Wes: Ok everyone. It's time to travel towards Celadon City.

Wes woke up his Pokemon. He then checked their summaries, as he always did, every morning.

" Ok evreyt...!!!! Wait a minute."

Wes immediately caught a discrepancy in Umbreon's summary.

Umbreon: male LV 41 Ability: Synchronize Item: Leftovers

Moves: Tackle, Growl, Helping Hand, Curse (Baby), Wish (Baby), Sand Attack, Pursuit, Quick Attack, Double Kick (Tutor), Hyper Beam (Tutor), Confuse Ray, Protect (TM), Payback (Tutor), Feint Attack, Charm (tutor), Foul Play (Tutor), Screech, Detect (Tutor), Sucker Punch (Tutor), Moonlight, Shadow Ball (TM), Return (TM), Mean Look, Last Resort.

"LV 41!!!!! When did this happen??? Last night he was only at LV 38. So how did Umbreon hain 3 levels in a single night???"

Wes then used his system to check for any possible explanation, towards this baffling result.

Umbreon: male LV 41 Ability: Synchronize Item: Leftovers

Moves: Tackle, Growl, Helping Hand, Curse (Baby), Wish (Baby), Sand Attack, Pursuit, Quick Attack, Double Kick (Tutor), Hyper Beam (Tutor), Confuse Ray, Protect (TM), Payback (Tutor), Feint Attack, Charm (tutor), Foul Play (Tutor), Screech, Detect (Tutor), Sucker Punch (Tutor), Moonlight, Shadow Ball (TM), Return (TM), Mean Look, Last Resort,

Explanation: PP training.

" PP training???..... !!!!!! Are you a freaking Hanma or something?????.

Wes finally figured the answer to the sudden level up of Umbreon. Then he immediately went towards his Umbreon and Espeon.

Wes: Hey Umbreon.

Wes called out his Umbreon, with a mischievous smile.

(Umbreon: " Why does he have that expression.")

Wes: Last night Umbreon, during your guard duty. Did you do something extra.

Umbreon: ???

Umbreon showed a confused look.

Wes: So you don't understand... Let me be then more direct. Did you do anything naughty last night???

Umbreon: !!!!!!!!!!!

Umbreon immediately jumped in shock.

(Umbreon: " Impossible. He was snoring like that Snorlax, we met before, together with Haunter. How does he know about last night???").

Espeon on the other hand, had her cheeks, brighten up, in a completely obvious red hue. Wes immediately found out, Espeon's embarrassment.

Wes: Espeon's reaction, is betraying what you did.

Wes continued to tease his Umbreon for some time. Then he called back his Pokemon and began moving towards Celadon City. Wes took 2 and a halve hours to reach his destination.

Immediately, Wes was awed, by the huge skyscrapers, that could be seen all over the city. Also a lot of flower arrangements and huge tree's, could also, be seen, all over the city.

Wes actually had to buy a map of Celadon City, so that he wouldn't get lost. Wes immediately began moving towards his first goal, he had set in Celadon City. The Celadon Department Store. He could finally sell all the Nuggets and Meteor Pisces he had collected on his travels. Then he could use this money, to be some useful TM's and hold items for his Pokemon.

The Celadon Department Store, was a huge purple building, with a total of 6 floors including the roof. Wes immediately went for the 2nd floor, to buy the TMs and items he needed. There at the cashier, a cute brown haired clerk, dressed in an azure, dress with white frills, could be directly seen.

Clerk: Hello. How can i help you?

Wes: I would like to sell some Nuggets and Meteor Pisces, i have.

Clerk: Of course.

Then Wes gave to the cute clerk, all three Star Piece's and all seven Nugget's he had collected, during his journey.

Wes: I would like to buy an unbreakable Dark Pulse TM, Double Team TM and the Sludge Bomb TM. I would also like one Black Sludge and two Wise Glasses.

Clerk: Together with the items you sold, you need to pay an additional 17500 Pokedolars.

The Wise Glasses because of their mirror effects were very cheap. The Black Sludge, was a healing over time item. So it was more expensive. But thanks to it, only working on Poison Type Pokemon, as well as the existence of the Leftovers item, that worked for all Pokemon, regardless of their Type, its price was actually, quite the bargain. Double Team was a very popular TM, since almost every Pokemon learned the Move. It was also, a non attacking Move. So it wasn't as expensive as other TMs. On the other hand the Dark Pulse and Sludge Bomb TM, had quite a big value.

After paying, Wes went, straight towards the 4th floor, to buy a Water Stone. After Staryu reaches a specific level, in the future, he would use this stone to evolve Staryu, into a Starmie. Luckily for Wes, they had a discount for the stones. So Wes only paid 2100 Pokedolars for the Water Stone.

Then Wes immediately went straight towards the Police Station. After all he knew, that under the Game Corner, there was a Team Rocket Hideout. After 20 minutes of walking, Wes found the Police Station.

Wes: I would like to report something.

Policeman: Tell me what you want to report.

Wes: At the Game Corner, on behind a poster there is a way to enter a Team Rocket Hideout.

Policeman: WHAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!

The Policeman was totally shocked. He couldn't believe, that a random person could report something this huge.

Wes: The poster is at the right, from the reception.

The Policeman, took a few moments before answering.

Policeman: Can you give me, your training card for indication purposes.

Wes: Sure.

The Policeman immediately began searching the info on Wes's profile. After all, the location of a Team Rocket Hideout, was a very important to the whole region. He also had some suspicions towards Wes. After all, the youth, had appeared out of the blue, launching at him, such a huge bombshell.

Then after 2 minutes, all his suspicions were cleared. In the database about the Pokemon Trainer Wes Williams, there were clear evidence of Wes helping the Police, by capturing two Team Rocket members. There was also information about him rescuing the daughter of a Silph Co researcher.

Policeman: Thanks for the information. We will take action after a bit of preparation.

After that Wes decided, that it was time to finish, the main objective of his trip. But midway towards his destination, he got interrupted.

???: Wes!!!!

Wes immediately turned around. In his view he saw a young girl with long brown hair and a white hat. That girl was his childhood friend Leaf.

Wes: How you've been Leaf.

Leaf: I'm fine. It's good to see you in one piece.

Wes: ???

Wes got totally confused at Leaf's last remark.

Wes: In one piece????

Leaf: I mean you had said, when we were at Vermilion City, that you will go to the Lavender Tower.

Wes after hearing that, immediately understood, what his friend ment.

Leaf: Since we met. How about we go for a coffee. I now a very good place.

Wes: Sure.

The cafe Leaf took Wes, had a big garden full of Sakura tree's. Below the tree's, were the seats, were someone, or group of people, could enjoy their drinks in a very relaxing atmosphere.

After they sat down and ordered their drinks, Leaf took out a Pokeball and immediately realised, the Pokemon inside it. A very cute red fox like Pokemon appeared on Leaf's lap. Yes it was a Vulpix.

Vulpix: female LV 34 Ability: Drought Item: Heat Stone

Moves: Ember, Foul Play (Baby), Hypnosis (Baby), Hex (Baby), Tail Whip, Roar, Baby-Doll Eyes, Quick Attack, Confuse Ray, Fire Spin, Flamethrower (Tutor), Will-O-Wisp, Feint Attack, Heat Wave (Tutor), Extrasensory, Safeguard, Sunny Day, Hidden Power-Ground (TM),

Wes: A Drought Vulpix. A very good choice.

Leaf: Wow!!! You could tell???? Yes, i found this cute guy at Route 8. After i saw her Ability, i immediately knew, that i had to catch her.

Wes nodded, and then he took out, one of his own Pokeballs. And he immediately called out the Pokemon inside it. It was his newest team member. Haunter.

Leaf: !!!!!.

Leaf immediately flinched, at the sight, of this Ghost Type Pokemon. Haunter then looked at the Vulpix. Immediately a huge, full of naughtiness grin, appeared on its face. Then it went close to Leaf and the Vulpix and suddenly its eyes vanished . Then Haunter opened its mouth flicking its tongue out. On top of it, a pair of eyes dancing, in the air, could be seen.

Vulpix: Vuuuuulllll!!!!!!

The poor Vulpix screamed in fear. Leaf's face, also took a pale frightened look. She hugged, her scared Vulpix, in order to, calm her self, as well as her frightened Pokemon.

Wes: Haunter stop scaring the surrounding people.

Haunter: Haunter Haunter.

Haunter nodded and it immediately stopped its prank.

Leaf: Now i understand, why Gary and Daisy, have PTSD, when it comes to Ghost Type Pokemon.

Wes returned back his Haunter and then he apologized to Leaf and Vulpix.

Wes: Sorry about that.

Leaf: You better be. OHH!!!!! I almost forgot about it. There is a flower festival in 5 days, so the Gym doesn't accept challengers, until the festival ends.

Wes: Thanks for telling me.

Then Wes and Leaf continued to talk as they drank their drinks. Then Wes found a hotel at the south part of the city. Then next morning he left for Route 16 to train his Pokemon, until the festival finished.

5 days passed very swiftly. A young trainer with white hair and a blue coat could be seen outside of a huge greenery like building. On its Roof, a huge Vileplume flower could be directly observed.

Wes: Alright. Its time.

With that last word, Wes entered the Pokemon Gym of Celadon City in order to obtain, his 4th Badge.
