Pokemon: Jordinio Version

Finding the entrance to Mount Moon, or one of them at least, was really simple. All I had to do was follow the trail Graveler left up the hill and I found myself in front of a stone pathway leading into a small narrow cave entrance, maybe only twice the height of me in size and width.

I set up camp outside for a bit and released my pokemon. I kept Rattata, Poliwhirl and Chansey with me, while I sent my three flyers in Pidgeotto, Fearow and Beedrill out to search around the area.

From what I remembered, the giant ass moon stone wasn't actually inside the mountain, but rather in an off shoot cave in the middle of the forest on level ground, not far from a rather large stream.

So I sent them off to find it while I got set up for some waiting.

After ten minutes into waiting, I realised I was bored as fuck. Sure, I could train, and not really do much damage to myself, but it got repetitive after a while.

'I need to get some video games.' I groaned inwardly. I sat on a fold out deck chair, one arm atop my knee as I propped my chin in my palm and looked at my pokemon. I'd need to get a portable generator, television and more if I wanted to relax when out of towns, but I'm seriously going to do it. Because fuck just sitting around when not training. The most entertainment I've got is the internet on my phone but I'm not exactly fully familiar with this world's websites.

I haven't even had time for a fucking wank since I got to this damn world.

Chansey was happily humming to herself as she fiddled with some knitting needles and pink fabric. I'd grabbed them with my camping supplies in Viridian City, and for the life of me I have no idea what she's making. Maybe a hat?

Rattata was resting beside my chair, happily cuddled up against my leg and Poliwhirl was..training. As I watched the stocky humanoid water type raise up and then down, up and then down, up and down and repeat plus repeat and then repeat again, I couldn't help but be impressed with his diligence to training. He really did enjoy push ups man.

I'll need to see about making the routine harder on him. And see if he can go about using that same kind of energy he uses for Mega Punch with his legs, maybe get Mega Kick down that way. Then I can go about teaching him Mauy Thai kick boxing. Note to self, make him do squats as well, can't have him skipping leg day. I did that for a while once. Broad of chest with skinny little chicken legs. It was not a good day to realise that.

I sighed and looked around again, looking for anything to do. My eyes swept over the trees, a flock of Pidgey in the air, and then the one lone Paras sitting just outside the entrance to the cave. It hadn't bothered us at all once I didn't even show a reaction to it.

..I was tempted to get it. A bug and grass type would be great for some battles. And all the spore attacks would be amazing. But...I just don't want a pokemon that is actually just a zombie being used as a puppet by a damn mushroom.

My eyes went to the cave, and the dim, dark expanse that I could see within it. Since it was day, it wasn't too hard to see into it, but the deeper it got, the darker it would be.

Before I realised what I was doing, I stood up. Rattata sat up and looked up at me in confusion while the other two put a stop to their activities and looked to me as well. "Chansey can you keep watch of the camp?" I asked, then nodded at the other two, "I want to go check out that cave for a bit with Rattata and Poliwhirl." I added, walking over to my backpack and reaching into the tools compartment, pulling out the flashlight that came with the camping supplies.

"Chansey chans!" my team healer nodded happily and got back to knitting. I patted her head fondly as I went by, at the same time Rattata bounced up to land on my shoulder and Poliwhirl diligently fell in line with me.

I flicked the flashlight on and made my way towards the cave. The Paras skittered away in fright, but before I could step inside the cave, Poliwhirl held out his hand stopping me. I raised an eyebrow at the water type, but he simply nodded once and stepped in front of me so that he went first.

I chuckled, but let him lead on and just aimed the flashlight above him as we went in.

To my surprise as we entered, there were quite a few pokemon. We passed by a few geodude a few feet in, camouflaged as rocks, while atop the ceiling a bunch of zubat hung. A few hissed at the light of my flashlight and flew off deeper into the cavern, but quite a few just ignored me. Honestly, there were quite a few of them. Had to be six rows of seven or eight of them just huddled up together on the ceiling.

I kept an eye on them as we went, and we continued on for a good few dozen feet. "Ra.." Rattata nudged my cheek from my shoulder and pointed down towards the wall to our right. I flashed my torch where he pointed and to my surprise found a little Sandshrew reclining comfortably on a rock.

It gave me a lazy glare t the light before turning and slumping down on its stomach facing away from me. My hand twitched towards my pocket, tempted to go for an empty pokeball and capture it.

Just as I was about to though, a screech reverberated throughout the cavern. I winced, grabbing my ears as they rung in pain and awkwardly shuffled my head a bit to point the flashlight clasped to my head forward.

To my surprise, it was a bunch of Zubat. The ones that flew away I think a few moments ago, only there was one more than I remembered. A bit bigger than the rest and leading the way.

It screeched loudly and zipped forward, speeding towards us. I saw the Sandshrew perk up and curl into a ball before rolling rapidly into the darkness of the cave and disappearing. It ran because of the Zubat?

A familiar red glow appeared around its eyes and in a split second, large twin red beams of energy shot out towards me.

A white glow shone from my shoulder, before a similar pair of red beams shot out from Rattata's eyes and met the twin beams fired by Zubat in the middle. They fizzled out as they clashed, lighting up the narrow tunnel in a brief red glow.

Poliwhirl grunted and jumped forward at the same time, his gloved hands raising into the air as a red glow surrounded him.

The lead Zubat screeched and a similar red glow surrounded its body. It flew forward and scythed right through Poliwhir's hypnosis using its own as a shield, while the ones behind it dropped limply to the ground asleep.

Man, wish I brought Chansey with me. Her Gravity would have made this a cinch!

The red glow faded from Zubat the second it cleared Poliwhirl's hypnosis attack and its wings began to glow white.

I reached up and grabbed Rattata in one hand and threw him forward, "Quick Attack!" I shouted, taking a few steps back to get clear of the fighting. "Mega Punch!" I followed up with.

White light shot out of Rattata's rear, propelling him forward like a rocket. Zubat just managed to beat its wings and throws itself out of the way. And then immediately had to spin back as Poliwhirl's large orange aura covered fist nearly pasted it into one of the walls.

It was trapped though as Poliwhirl wound up with another Mega Punch. Before it could connected though, the Zubat opened its mouth wide and unleashed a large hose of bubbling acidic purple liquid.

Poliwhirl threw up his arms and groaned as the attack ploughed into him, pushing him back. I winced as I saw the raw blistering appearing on his blue skin.

I stepped forward, about to rush the bat pokemon and slam it with my flashlight. But before I could, a bright white light erupted from where Rattata flew passed Zubat.

"The hell is that?" I wondered. And then gaped as a rapid large brown form blitzed out of the light, somersaulting through the air. Zubat screeched in pain as a foot glowing with white light smashed into its back and slammed it into the wall.

Following it over, its glowing white foot dug into the blue bat pokemon's back was a large Raticate. It gave Zubat no mercy, pushing off with its glowing food and smashing the poison and flying type deeper into the rocky wall, the large brown rat back flipped backwards to the opposite wall and then used it to bounce back towards Zubat, long rope like tail lighting up with a familiar silver energy.

The Zubat screeched one last time before falling limp as Raticate smashed an Iron Tail straight into its back and shook the entire tunnel from the impact. For a moment I almost shit myself at the thought of being caved in.

As soon as Zubat was confirmed to be down, the large Raticate turned around and jumped through the air towards me, clearing the ten feet between us with ease.

I smiled as I caught the brown fluff ball and ruffled his head, "Look at you, all fully evolved already," I chuckled, he was big, but not heavy at all. Not after all the heavy lifting and gravity training I've went through so far, "And was that Jump Kick I just saw you use?" I remember that old guy Ash battled on the S.S Anne had a Raticate that knew Jump Kick.

"Rata!" Raticate chirped back with a nod, then nuzzling his face against my chest. His voice was so different compared to his old forms. Still high pitched, but deeper, and longer in a way.

"Lemme get a look at you mate." I smiled and lifted him up above me. I whistled. He was way bigger now. A few inches bigger than Pidgeotto now I'd say, and even with me holding him up above me, nearly six feet in the air, his tail still comfortably touched the ground with length to spare.

The big brown rat pokemon beamed and my smile grew wider. "Good job buddy," I praised him before setting him down. I looked over to Poliwhirl who had his arms crossed and stood diligently over Zubat, guarding it in case it woke up and attacked, "You too Poliwhirl, we'll need to get Chansey to fix you up when we get out of here."

"Poli!" Poliwhirl nodded and saluted me then made his way over to us and positioned himself at my side. I clapped him on the shoulder and gave him a smile, which he returned by letting his pupils curve into almost smile like shapes.

..Only in anime worlds man. Eye smiles are actually a fucking thing.

I looked at the downed Zubat and couldn't help but think it was a little monster. Sure it went down pretty easy once it did get caught, but it was a speedy and bold little bastard with some insane attacks. I recognised Mega Drain, Wing Attack, Hypnosis and some kind of poison type attack. And the sheer fact that it managed to get the upper hand against Poliwhirl, no matter how short was fucking amazing considering Poliwhirl has went all Goku under the gravity training. Complete with sensu healing. The Poliwhirl of today can't even be compared to the one I caught a week ago.

The only reason he isn't my strongest pokemon is because Pidgeotto and Fearow have both evolved on top of training just as hard as him.

Motherfucking yoink! And by that, I meant I was quick to grab a pokeball from my pocket and plop it atop its downed form. It never even put up a fight since it was unconscious, and moments later, my newly caught pokemon was teleported off to Viridian City.

I turned to my other two pokemon, "Let's go then." I nodded to them and began making my way back out the way we came. Poliwhirl and Raticate followed me and I couldn't help but chuckle when the pokemon we passed on the way in veered well out of our way. The Zubat up top practically pressed themselves upwards and tried to merge with the ceiling.

A minute or so later, we stepped back out into the sunlight and to my surprise, my three other pokemon were back.

"Chansey, can you heal up Poliwhirl please?" I called over to her first and gave Poliwhirl a little push towards her.

Chansey looked up from her knitting and smiled. She put down her needles and thread and jumped up, waddling over to Poliwhirl and calling upon the pink energy of her Heal Pulse technique.

"Did you find it?" I asked, turning my attention to my three flyers.

Pidgeotto shrugged and gave a curious look at Raticate following me before shrugging again and sitting down. Fearow merely shook his head in a negative response before casting a look at Beedrill and huffing in annoyance. Beedrill buzzed and stepped forward, arm lances crossed in that cool fashion as always. He nodded his yellow head and then uncrossed his arms and beckoned me to follow him.

"Good." I grinned. "I'll follow you on Fearow once Poliwhirl is all healed up."

Pidgeotto huffed himself, for some weird reason while Fearow shot a smug look Pidgeotto's way.
