Title: The Lost Pokémon Episodes.
By: Hakuzo NightFox

Episode 14: One Night in Celadon

Narrator: Last Episode Andrew got his beloved Dratini stolen by one of the many thieves attracted to Celadon City. For the past month there has been a vast outbreak of thefts across the large city. There is no confirmation if these thefts are linked to the criminal organization newly dubbed Team Rocket.<<<

The rouge trainer ignores the shouts of his follower as he continues to run, ducking into a back alley behind the newly opened Casino of Celadon City. Hakuzo and Andrew continue to chase after the thief but they are starting to fall behind.

“This isn’t working we need someone faster!” Hakuzo says while he summons out Miles. “Miles, you are the fastest one here, chase after that thief and get Dratini back.” Miles nods and takes off running after the thief.

With Miles speed, he soon catches up to the thief in no time, but the thief suddenly jumps through an open door way. Miles follows through and both end up inside of a warehouse. Shouts from the workers don’t phase the ruffian any as he continues to run through. He knocks over a cart that one of the workers were pushing full of part.

The parts scatter along the ground but Miles just simply jumps over them in a single smooth leap, never losing pace. Andrew and Hakuzo finally make it into the warehouse while shouting.

“Get back here thief, give me back my pokemon!” Andrews shouts as he continues to give chase.

A burly man snatches up the thief by the collar as he runs past. “What is this non-sense going on?” Miles being the closest send a mental message to the man.

“This person stole one of my trainer’s friend’s pokemon. A Dratini” Miles telepathically tells the man.

The burly man looks around saying, “Who said that!”

Miles lets off a small puff of FoxFire to get the attention of the man. “It was I the Ninetales you see before you.”

The burly just simply nods. By this time Hakuzo and Andrew finally catch up panting hard from the running. “That… Guy stole my Dratini.” Andrew states when he finally catches his breath.

“Is that so? Someone call the police and we will have this sorted out.” The burly man states out the workers.

“Already did boss, As soon as they busted in the door I called them.” One of the random workers replied.

Before anyone could reply, two of the Pokémon Rangers push their way into the building. There were directed to the scene of where the thief was detained by the strong factory foreman. One of the rangers are wearing a beret, seeming to be the head of operations in this town.

“What’s going on here?” The beret wearing ranger asks the foreman as he looks over the scene carefully.

“These two trainers claim that this guy stole a Pokémon from them. A Dratini.” The foreman states while he holds down the struggling thief.

“No, th-they are lying. The Dratini is mine!” the thief yells out while struggling to break free of the grasp of foreman. Hakuzo and Andrew simply shake their heads no at this all.

Still keeping calm, the ranger removes a device that looks like a modified pokédex from his pocket. “This can be remedied very easily. This device will tell me the owner of each Pokémon. The information about the pokemon is stored in its Pokéball.”

As the ranger scans the Pokéball the thief was holding, the thief kicks the device out of his hands and starts struggling more. “Grah, hold still will you!” The foreman commands.

Miles sighs, “I’ll handle this.” Miles projects into everyone’s minds as he uses Hypnosis on the thief. “Sleep you worthless human.” Miles tells the thief directly. The thief falls asleep and stops struggling.

The ranger walks over and picks up the device that was kicked out of his hands. “Good! The device wasn’t damaged.” The ranger picks up the Pokéball and scans it. The screen of the device was holding displayed the Pokémon, nickname and the Trainer it was registered to. “This Dratini belongs to Andrew. I’ll have to scan each of your Pokédexes.”

Hakuzo and Andrew present their Pokédexes to be scanned and the ranger nods. “I see, so this Pokémon is yours.” The ranger hands back the Pokémon to Andrew and direct his partner to take the thief to the local police station. “You two have done well to help us catch one of the local thieves. Is there anything we can do for you two?”

“Yes there is, we need a Pokécenter to stay at for the night. So in the morning we can take on the local gym.” Andrew replies.

“I see, that’s an easy fix. As for your Ninetales, he is very well trained to be able to act so well on his own accord.” The ranger comments Hakuzo about his vulpine Pokémon.

Hakuzo shrugs. “He’s very intelligent and I leave him to his own devices most of the time. He also has strong Psychic powers as well.”

“I see. Follow me and I’ll take you two to the Pokécenter so you two can rest for the night.” Hakuzo and Andrew follow the Ranger as he led them through the maze of alleyways and neon lights.

Once inside the Pokécenter the duo grab a map of the city and prep for tomorrow’s battle against the gym leader. Both Trainers know that their Fire type Pokémon will be the best bet against Erika’s Pokémon and the feel they confident enough they will win tomorrow.

Hakuzo wakes up to be surrounded by complete darkness, but something felt off. His skin feels itchy and he reaches up to scratch his arm only to find out that it’s covered in fur and his nails were infact claws.

“What the…” Hakuzo tries to speak but notices no words come out. The darkness starts to clear slightly as his eyes adjust. Balls of FoxFire burst into life around Hakuzo and the darkness recedes. Hakuzo could clearly see his arms are slender and covered in white fur. It takes him a few minutes to realize that he was no longer in his own body anymore. One his eyes fully adjust he can make out the slightly bluish tent to the fur and in moments he realizes he’s in Mile’s body.

“H-how is this happening?” Hakuzo asks still confused as to what’s going on.

“Relax Hakuzo, I need your help.” Miles’ voice echoes through Hakuzo mind.

“Where are we?” Hakuzo asks not sure how he is speaking into Miles’ mind, or how he is inside of Miles.

“We are in the Dreamworld. Thranos has been trying to corrupt the dreams of many humans and Pokémon. Each night I’ve been fighting here trying to stop his darkness from spreading.” Miles explains as he gets up and walks forward slowly.

Hakuzo feels a bit woozy from the sudden movement, very disorganized after the sudden movement. His mind not able to comprehend this odd joining of minds. After the wooziness wears off he is able to think clearly again. “How is any of this possible?” Hakuzo asks.

“Before, when I was just a Vulpix, I would enter the Dreamworld but I would have no control over what happens. Now that I’ve evolved my abilities have increased greatly. Our close bond has been enhancing your own mental abilities as well Hakuzo, and now your mind is strong enough to complete such a complicated merging of minds.” Miles continues to divulge the information of what’s happened. Slowly Hakuzo starts to understand and begins to realize that there is more at stake here than just collecting all the badges and becoming a League Champion.

A screech is heard over-head as a Moltres flies over and lands infront of Miles. A gust of hot air strikes Miles in the face as the legendary pokemon set down on the ground. The Pokémon’s intense gaze bores deep into Miles. “I only have limited control right now. I have this warning to pass on to you; Come find me on top of the volcano in Cinnabar Island. You must free me from this curse.” Moltres voices sounds broken up and disjointed but still clear to make out. Hakuzo thinks over the battle with Zapdos and how different the legendary pokemon looked.

“But first, you Miles must learn how to control your inner fire. I will teach you how to learn to control your output of your flamethrower skill.” Moltres states to Miles and Hakuzo. Hakuzo has heard rumors that sometimes Pokémon will learn things while they sleep and dream but he never thought it would be anything like this.

Suddenly Moltres unleashes a monsoon of fire at Miles. As the fire envelopes out it breaks apart into smaller and smaller balls of fire. Thousands of fireballs fly forward at once striking Miles. Miles Flash fire ability kicks in and the power of his fire skills increase immensely.

“This power…. I never felt anything this strong before.” Miles states inside of his mind to Hakuzo. Even Hakuzo can feel the build up of energy inside of him, giving a light tingling all over his body. The sensation is something Hakuzo has never felt before in his life.

“Miles… this power… It makes me feel closer to you now than I ever thought possible.” Hakuzo says out-loud not sure how he was able to speak normally now.

“It is because you two share a deep bond never seen between a human and Pokémon before.” Moltres projects to its audience.

Miles closes his eyes for a moment, and Hakuzo feels a build up of energy. A sudden burst and fire explode around Miles. Hundred of thousands of fireballs fly outwards. The legion of fireballs flies towards Moltres then stop dead in the air and disappears. “Just like you Miles, Fire will not harm me, but you have much more to learn about fire manipulations. Those will be revealed after you face me in combat.” Moltres starts fading away as his words echo in the empty space of the Dreamworld.

---

Hakuzo wakes up to the bright morning light. For some reason the light seemed brighter than normal, he closes his eyes a moment to allow them to adjust. A nearby yawn draws his attention. The yawn belonged to Miles that was sleeping on the ground beside Hakuzo.

Hakuzo looks around and notices that Andrew is no longer in the bed he was sleeping in. ‘That’s odd…. Normally I’m up before him.” Hakuzo looks out one of the windows and notices Andrew is outside training his pokemon. Hakuzo grabs a quick bite to eat out of a vending machine and strolls outside to see what Andrew is upto.

“What’s this, you’re up before I am? Did a random Pikachu shock you in your sleep?” Hakuzo asks his joking question to Andrew.

“Funny.” Andrew replies as he directs Dratini to keep attacking what appears to be a giant Pokémon doll. “This Pokécenter recently put up these training dummies for trainers to prepare for the upcoming gym battle. I’m not too worried Erika’s pokemon are all grass types so Combuskin and Miles will have no issue mowing them down. I want to do with my Dratini. If I can get him to evolve he should be strong enough to hold his own.”

“So you’re upping the challenge a bit?” Hakuzo asks as he eats his quick vending machine meal.

“Exactly, I don’t want this battle to be too easy, but the back-up will be in place.” Andrew states confidently as he continues to issue orders to Dratini.

“Attacking a dummy isn’t going to get you anywhere. Why not fight a real grass pokemon instead?” Hakuzo states while sending out Vinzith.

“I see. This shall be the perfect training then.” Andrew remarks and commands Dratini to get ready.

Vinzith digs into the ground with his forepaws getting ready for the battle as well. “Don’t think I’ll go easy on you, I have a new trick to use!” Andrew remarks. Hakuzo orders Vinzith to use sleep powder, while Andrew simply says. “Extreme Speed!” Dratini slither forward at a rapid pace, racing at Vinzith.

“Shoot, Use your vines to dodge and try to capture Dratini.” Hakuzo commands quickly. Vinzith springs up into the air and Dratini’s attack barely misses, though Vinzith is unable to capture Dratini.

“Nice move but Vinzith is still the slower of the two.” Andrew remarks as he commands Dratini to attack again with Extreme Speed.

“Speed isn’t the only useful trick there is. Vinzith use Sleep Powder right now!” Vinzith unleashes the spores from the plant on his back as instructed. Dratini runs straight into the spores losing moments and rolls on the ground losing his speed. Within moments the snake like pokemon is asleep.

Hakuzo nods. “That is most likely just one of the tricks Erika will try to use against us. Now then Vinzith, Leech Seed!” Vinzith nods and launches seeds that attach to Dratini soon wrapping it in vines and slowly draining away Dratini’s health. Vinzith then strikes with Vine whip, the attack causing Dratini to wake up.

“We have to finish this quickly, use Twister now!” Andrew commands Dratini to attack and he spins around rapidly. The vines around Dratini rip apart freeing him from Leech Seed. The attack strikes Vinzith causing him to flinch. “Nice now follow through with Extreme Speed!” This last attack was all it took to strike Vinzith hard putting him out to the battle.

After the battle Dratini starts to shed its skin suddenly, growing and becoming bigger. “Dratini is evolving!” Andrew shouts as moments later a Dragonair emerges. ‘This will make this battle so much easier to win now!” Andrew exclaims excitedly.

“I thought you didn’t want an easy battle?” Hakuzo sarcastically asks Andrew.

“Sush you!” Andrew replies as he recalls Dragonair to his Pokéball. After the battle the crew returns inside the Pokécenter to get healed up and prepare for the battle with Erika the Gym leader of Celadon City.

Narrator: Elsewhere Bayne and his flunkies are trying to retrieve their stolen pokemon as well. So far ever attempt has failed.<<<

“Bah it. That lousy thief is inside this building, we need to form a plan to get him out of there.” Bayne announces to his flunkies.

Skid looks around, pondering. “We should just rush in there and take charge. A complete ninja ambush!” Skid Replies with a lot of energy practically flailing around.

“That may work! To Battle!” Bayne shouts. The trio rush into the door and are faced by a group of five tough looking guys waiting for them. “Um… I think this is a bad idea…” Before Bayne could finish a battle royal breaks out between pokemon and trainer alike. Bayne releases Zorua. “Go… find Hakuzo… we need help!” Zorua nods and runs towards the door. A Hitmonchan tries to Ice Punch Zorua but the smaller Pokémon ducks under the attack and runs out the door.

---

Andrew and Hakuzo finish their preparations and start following the local map to the Celadon Gym. They stroll along enjoying the nice weather despite the humid air of the city. Anywhere you look random Pokémon battles were all over and it too all of their resolve not to jump into the random battles, as they are here with a single goal in mind, defeating Erika.

While Hakuzo and Andrew are fully distracted by the battles around them something bumps into Hakuzo’s leg, he looks down to notice it was a Zorua. “What that… Is that Bayne’s Zorua?”

“hrm” Miles thinks to everyone, “It is, Bayne’s in trouble and he sent Zorua to find us..” Zorua nods and beckons for everyone to follow him.

Hakuzo lets out a sigh, “We better go help his rear… a lot of good it would do.” The group rushes on with Zorua leading the way. When the near the building Miles tells them all to wait.

“There are 8 of them in there. Bayne, Skid and Raid are fighting against 5 others. There is also a massive pokemon battle as well. We need to be careful.” Miles informs the group while Hakuzo comes up with a plan.

“Ok, we’ll have to work quickly but,” Hakuzo sends out Vinzith. “We open the door and then we send in Vinzith. He will Sleep Spore the room and we move in quickly once everyone is asleep and Drag Bayne and his flunkies out of there. Combuskin and Larion can help drag them out as well.” Hakuzo explains his plan.

“You really are cunning at times Hakuzo. That plan should work. What about their pokemon?” Miles asks.

“Knowing those three, and looking at the state of Zorua they didn’t do any real training or pokemon capturing. Zorua can also point out their pokemon to us.” Hakuzo replies. Andrew ducks behind the door and Hakuzo sets Vinzith to the left allowing him to dash in.

Andrew releases Larion and Combuskin, then quickly opens the door while Hakuzo lightly pushes Vinzith inside slightly. Vinzith rushes in and unleashes as much Sleep Powder as he can muster. There was a temporary pause in the fighting as the spore dispersed.

“Ok, everyone is asleep and Vinzith is moving in to start dragging people out. The spores should be dispersed enough to cause you no harm as well.” Miles announces. Everyone nods and rushes in. Andrew instructs his Pokémon to drag out Bayne and his flunkies. Hakuzo and Andrew go about gathering up Bayne’s pokemon which wasn’t hard to tell as predicted they didn’t capture any more.

A few minutes later Bayne and company are carried outside while Hakuzo drags out their Pokémon. “Ok Vinzith, produce the antidote to the Sleep Powder so these jerks will wake up and we can get out of here.” Hakuzo commands Vinzith while he helps prop Bayne against the building. Vinzith unleashes the antidote waking up Bayne and surrounding company.

“We wasted enough time, they can lick their wounds on their own now.” Hakuzo states as he gathers up his own Pokémon and heads back towards Gym.

“Agreed.” Andrew agrees with the plan and follows. He has an important battle to undertake and this side-show was more than enough distraction.

The duo arrives at the Gym but when they go there it looked more like a flower shop than a battle Gym. The fragrance of perfume and flowers fill the air, causing Hakuzo to sneeze as he gets near. “Man, this has got to be the worse place to battle.” Hakuzo states as he wipes his running nose.

“I’ll be the first to take on Erika then!’ Andrew announces.

The two trainers were greeted by Erika the twelve year old Gym leader. “Welcome to the Floral Gym of Celadon. I help run the flower shop and mommy makes me battle with our Pokémon so they can continue to get stronger. The stronger they get the better the smell they produce for perfumes.” Erika giggles a moment. “Sorry you are probably here to battle?”

“Ofcourse, and I’ll be the first one to take you on!” Andrew states enthusiastically.

“Very well then, Venusaur go.” Erika calls as she lets out the large plant pokemon.

“I will use Dragonair then.” Andrew replies as he summons out the larger snake-like pokemon. ‘lets start this show with Extreme speed!”

Dragonair blasts forward causing a sonic boom as he dashes at Venusaur, The attack hits home striking into the plant Pokémon but the large Pokémon took the hit and countered with Toxic, but with its Marvel Scales the defense is raised slightly. Dragonair becomes badly poisoned from the attack. From here Dragonair uses twister trying to cause the Venusaur to flinch but it failed.

“Venusaur use Venoshock and show them the power of a Poison type Pokémon!” Erika announces. The large Pokémon extends one of its large whip-like plant tips straight at Dragonair. The attack hits like a rapier and knocks Dragonair backwards some causing massive damage due to it being poisoned already, its Marvel Scales doing nothing to lower the blow of the attack.

“This… isn’t good, With Dragonair poisoned he won’t last much longer I have to finish this…” Andrew commands his pokemon to attack again with Extreme speed. The powerful hit knocks out the Venusaur but Dragonair is staring to feel the sting of the poison.

“You did well to take out the defensive power of Venusaur but can you withstand the strong physical attacks of Victreebel?” Ericka asks as she sends out a large Venus flytrap like Pokémon. Victreebel strikes out with a leaf-blade but the attack misses the faster Dratini. Dratini smacks Victreebel with its tail causing it to retreat instantly to its Pokéball and Erika’s last pokemon Vileplume is released. “You messed up now, can you with stand the power of Vileplume’s Solar Beam?” Erika laughs thinking the battle is now over.

Vileplume immediately starts drawing in sun light to power its Solar Beam. Dratini takes this time to land a solid twister attack but again the attack fails to cause Vileplume to flinch. “Can’t chance it… Dragonair finish this up with Extreme Speed!” Andrew shouts. The Dragonair complies and strikes the Vileplume but it holds hold on with enough strength to unleash its Solar Beam doing massive damage to the weakened Dragonair. Dragonair unleashes it rage in a single Dragon Rage attack causing the Vileplume to faint.

Victreebel returns to battle to take on the weakened Dragonair. Andrew thinks carefully he knows that Dragonair can’t take any more punishment he hope that the speed of the Pokémon is enough to take out the Victreebel. “Dragonair, I know you have only one shot left but make it count. Extreme speed one last time!” Andrew commands. Dratini strikes out with what’s left of its strength. He slams into the large plant Pokémon landing a critical hit and somehow knocking out the Victreebel.

“You… Defeated all my Pokémon and as thus you have earned the Rainbow badge.” Erika sighs as she gives the badge over to Andrew. “I take it you plan to battle as well?” Erika asks Hakuzo. He simply nods and Erika replies, “Very well, but you must wait until my Pokémon arrive back from the Pokécenter.”

Narrator: Erika’s Pokémon arrived back from the Pokécenter and Hakuzo commenced to battle the plant trainer. Hakuzo had no trouble at all defeating the plant type Pokémon using only Miles to battle with. He also earns a Rainbow badge. With that both Trainers return to the Pokécenter to call Professor Oak and inform him of their progress.

Elsewhere, we see Bayne, Skid and Raid are doing something. They appear to be… training? <<<

“Listen up you dead beats! We need to shape up in more ways than one. What happened earlier was a disgrace to our rep… and we were forced to call upon help from Hakuzo…” Bayne yells at his flunkies. After the humiliating rescue by Hakuzo, Bayne decides it’s time to stop playing around and focus on training.

These three have taken up to not only training their Pokémon against random wild Pokémon but they also begin to personally fighting along with the Pokémon, similar to that of a personal trainer.

“You guys are weak. Toughen up and take some hits from your pokemon!” Bayne instructs Raid and Skid. “There’s probably a chance we will get into more fights so we need to learn to take a hit.” By most standards this kind of training would be illegal by all Pokémon Authority standards. If Bayne or anyone of his crew get caught doing this kind of training they could very well end up in jail and have their Pokémon taken away on abuse charges.

Skid gets knocked back by Nidorino’s double kick and he yells out. “This isn’t training this is being a punching bag!”

“This is nothing, compared to what those guys would have done to us. Now shut up and keep training!” Bayne barks back while he dodges his Charmeleon’s claw attack.

Raid notices this and gets broad-sided by Nidorina’s attack. “Hey no fair, you said we had to TAKE the hits.”

“Yes because you two are too slow to dodge an attack.” Bayne replies.

---

Hakuzo and Andrew make it back to the Pokécenter and phone Professor Oak while their Pokémon are getting looked after. There was a long wait before Professor Oak finally answered. “Hello…? Oh, it’s you two. What a pleasant surprise.”

“We are calling you to update on our progress. We just defeated Erika and earned the Rainbow Badges.” Hakuzo relates the battle along with how they had to help Bayne out.

“I knew that Bayne would be trouble… At least your smart thinking saved the day.” Oak says while thinking on something. “You two will be heading to Fuchsia city now, correct?” Oak asks the two.

“Yes, we just need to figure out how to make it past Cycling Road.” Andrew replies.

“Ah yes, I have thought of that and I had two bicycles delivered to the Pokécenter you are at, Just tell Nurse Joy to take you to them. You two can keep them. Consider them a gift for making it so far in your journey.” Oak tells the two while he looks over some updated information over their Pokédexes. “Lets see, It says here you two have made a small bit of progress in your Pokédexes. Though I’d suggest you two visit the Safari Zone and try to catch some of the Rare Pokémon there.” Oak instructs the two trainers. Both nod and then they speak to Nurse Joy.

Narrator: With the bikes in hand, Hakuzo and Andrew make their way to Cycling road. What awaits these two Trainers? Find out next Episode. <<<
