Chapter 4 Museum Mayhem
"Shadow tackle," I yelled.
"Spearow peck," the bird trainer yelled.
The bird Pokémon hit Shadow with a peck attack. You could tell that it was affecting Shadow.
"Shadow return," I said calling back the Pokémon.
"Go Chika," I said to the Pokémon at my side.
It shook it head no.
"What is wrong," I said.
^I change my mind I don't want to be called Chika just Chikorita^ Chika, I mean Chikorita said.
"Okay I don't mind," I said.
"Can you discuss this later," the bird trainer said.
"Okay if you want to hurry," I said pulling out Bubbles Pokéball. "Bubbles go!"
"Marril," the water Pokémon said.
"Do you still want to be called Bubbles," I said to annoy Chikorita.
"Marril??" it said looking at me weird.
"That is it Spearow Drill peck," the bird trainer yelled.
"Bubbles Ice Beam."
And that was all it took the bird Pokémon was frozen solid.
"Spearow return," he said angrily.
"Good battle," I said to the kid.
"Yeah whatever," he said a little upset.
"What his problem," I said.
We started to walk back to the Pokémon Center. I wanted to ask Chikorita why she wanted to be called Chikorita all of a sudden. I stayed around Pewter City to challenge some of the locals to bring up my Pokémon levels.
"Here you go Nurse Joy," I said handing her my Pokéballs with Shadow and Bubbles in it.
"Okay," Nurse Joy said taking my Pokéballs and handing them to Chansey.
"Hey Chris," I turned around it was Jewel.
"Yeah."
"I just finish talking to Professor Albert he said that you should check out the Pokémon Museum," she said.
"The Pokémon Museum?"
"Yeah the Pokémon Museum reopened today after a big renovation job," Nurse Joy said.
"Yeah can we go please?" Jewel asked.
"Okay I guess," I said.
She wrapped her arm around mine and started to lead me out of the Pokémon Center to the Museum.
"Chiko," yelled Chikorita as she wrapped one of her vines around my other arm.
"Oww both of you let go," I said in pain.
^What about the other Pokémon^ Chikorita said.
"Right we better wait," I said.
Chikorita looked happy like she had won something.
We sat down at a couple of chairs. As soon as I sat Chikorita jumped on my lap.
"Boy what has gotten into you," I said to Chikorita.
"Chris," Jewel said taking me off subject.
"Yeah," I said.
"How did you decide to get such a nice Pokémon as Chikorita," Jewel said.
"Chikorita?" I said. "I decided to get a grass Pokémon ever since I saw my friend Karl Bulbasaur fight."
"Karl?" Jewel said.
^Karl is Chris's friend who has a Bulbsaur^ Chikorita said. ^A cute and strong Bulbasaur^
"Yeah," I said remembing the time that Karl, Tonya and I were going to Hal Island on the boat.
Flashback Begin***
"Now Cloyster use Spike Cannon," Harry yelled.
"Cloyst"
Cloyster opened it shell as it started to use Spike Cannon.
"Bulbasaur use Poison Powder," Karl told Bulbasaur.
"Bulb," yelled the Pokémon as it shook its bulb back and fourth making a purple cloud of poison powder around Cloyster. But Cloyster had already shot it Spike Cannon attack at Bulbasaur hitting it directly but Bulbasaur got back up.
"Cloyster," said the Pokémon in a sick sounding voice. Then it collapsed from the affects of Poison Powder.
"What," Harry yelled in disbelieve. "Cloyster return. Your Bulbasaur is good but not good enough. "Pinsir go," he yelled as he threw the Pokéball with Pinsir in it.
<Pinsir If it fails to crush the victim in its pincers, it will swing it around and toss it hard. >
"Pinsir Vice Grip," Harry yelled.
"Bulbasaur look out," Karl yelled but it was too late Pinsir already had Bulbasaur in it huge pincers squeezing Bulbasaur.
"Bulb," yelled Bulbasaur in pain.
"Bulbasaur use SolarBeam," Karl yelled to his Pokémon.
"No," Harry whispered.
"That is a good choice by Karl," Chris said.
"I guess," Tonya said.
"I am going to get me a awesome Pokémon like Karl's Bulbasaur," Chris said.
"Pinsir use Guillotine," Harry, yelled at Pinsir.
"Pinsir started to squeeze harder on Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur barely finish charging its Solarbeam.
"Now! Solarbeam Bulbasaur," Karl yelled.
"Bulbasaur," yelled the Pokémon shooting its Solarbeam attack making a big explosion because the Beam didn't have anywhere to go. When the smoked cleared Pinsir was knocked out. Bulbasaur was breathing really hard.
"What return Pinsir," Harry said as his Pokémon disappeared into its Pokéball.
"Very good job Bulbasaur. You were great. You deserve a nice long rest," Karl said to Bulbasaur as it disappeared into its Pokéball.
Flashback end***
"Interesting story," Jewel said.
^You never told me that^ Chikorita said.
"Now you know," I said.
"Chris," Nurse Joy said coming up to me. "You Pokémon are healed come to the front desk to get them," she said.
"Okay," I followed her to the front desk and received my Pokémon.
"Have a nice day," she said.
It only took us about 2 minutes to get to the Museum but when we got there.
"I expected a long line or something," Jewel said.
I opened the door.
^Boy it is nice in here^ Chikorita said as she entered.
"Yeah," Jewel said.
"Excuse me," a middle aged man in a lab coat said.
"Yes," I said.
"It cost $5 per person to come in," he said.
I pulled out my wallet and paid for Jewel and I Chikorita I didn't have to pay for.
"Hey there is a lot of Pokémon fossils in here," Jewel said.
^Ancient Pokémon^ Chikorita said.
"Yeah," I said.
"What, do you mean I can't buy any other fossils," a familiar voice said.
"I am sorry but we can't just sell you any fossil keep the Old Amber free of charge okay," another voice in the other room said.
"You are lucky no one makes Kyle angry," Kyle said.
^Hey it is the kid^ Chikorita said.
"Hey," Kyle said leaving the other room and bumping into me. "Aren't you the kid who won the Boulder Badge before me?"
"Yeah," I said.
"I would have won it first if it wasn't for that weak Rattata," he said. "Good thing I got rid of it."
How could he say such a thing?
"Got to go," he said leaving.
^That kid almost hurt a Rattata badly because it couldn't beat up Kim's Golem^ Chikorita said answering Jewels question before she even asked it.
"That kid he must be stopped," the guy selling the fossils said.
"What why?" Jewel asked.
"He threaten to blow down the whole museum with a Gyrados if I didn't give him a rare fossil?" he said.
"I don't think he has a Gyrados," I said.
"Yeah," Jewel said backing me up.
^I don't know he looks like the kind of person who trains only strong Pokémon^ Chikorita said not helping the situation.
"Back to my job would you like to purchase a fossil," the guy selling fossils said.
"No thanks," I said.
"Yeah we are just looking around," Jewel said.
"Okay but I would go upstairs they are having a show now," the guy said.
"Thanks," Jewel said as we walked towards the stairs.
Upstairs was big it had a lot of different evolution stones.
"Boy they are a lot the stones here," Jewel said.
"Yeah but not one of my Pokémon evolve that way," I said.
"Look that person it evolving their Pokémon," Jewel said as the man put the stone on the Pikachu's head it began to glow then it grew bigger.
"Rai," the Pokémon said.
"That will be $50 please," the man who seems to be in charged asked.
"Okay," the person said handing the man the money.
"Hey they evolve your Pokémon for you?" I asked as the kid with the new Raichu said.
"Yeah they didn't do that before they renovated here," the kid said.
"Hmm," Jewel said.
"Maybe they need the extra money," I said.
"Yeah but it isn't in the guide," Jewel said.
^And why is that man wearing a robe so that no one can see his face^ Chikorita said.
This didn't feel right it is very hard to find evolutionary stones to charge $50 for.
"I have an idea," I said.
"What?" Jewel said.
"Just go get someone who works here," I said.
"Okay," she said walking off to get someone.
"Wait take Chikorita with you," I said.
^What? ^ Chikorita said.
"Just go with her," I said.
They went back down the stairs. And the person in the robe didn't see me yet.
"Excuse me sir," I said in a polite voice.
"Yes," the person said turning around I saw his face he was one of the Rockets that attacked me. He quickly turned his head back.
"I would like to evolve one of my Pokémon," I said.
I heard another voice say something.
"No we are closed sorry," he said quickly.
"But I need to evolve my Marril," I said letting it out of its Pokéball.
"Ma Marril," she said.
"I said we are closed," he said again.
I winked at Bubbles.
"But it keeps using Water Gun," I said.
Bubbles shot out its Water Gun hitting Team Rocket the robe fell off and there was Matthew standing on top of Melissa.
"Ha I knew it was you Team Rocket," I said.
"Melissa," she said.
"Matthew," he said.
"Team Rocket Blast off at the speed of light," she said.
"You better watch out or prepare to fight," he said.
"We are better than the rest so that right," they said together.
"Yeah whatever," I said walking away.
"Hey don't you want to know our plan," Matthew said.
"You trick people into evolving their Pokémon for a price then you steal the rest of the stones and use them to evolve Pokémon that the whole Team Rocket has," I said.
They look at me stupefied.
"Yeah…well," Melissa said.
"Lets stop him," Matthew said throwing something at me.
It hit me and it expanded around me.
"How do you like your new bubble," Melissa said.
I was trapped inside some kind of rubber bubble.
"Ma Ma Marril," Bubbles said.
"Try using you Ice Beam attack on this bubble," I said.
"No you don't," Melissa said throwing her Pokéball with Arcanine in it.
Bubbles shot out it Ice Beam but Arcanine stopped it with a flamethrower I could feel the heat on the bubble but it did burst it.
"Arcanine finish off that blue mouse," Melissa said.
"Bubbles attack with Water Gun," I yelled.
Arcanine tried to hit Bubbles with a Take Down attack but Water Gun stopped the Pokémon in it tracks.
"Go Primeape," Matthew said. He had a bag with all the stones in it.
Where were Jewel and Chikorita?
"Bubbles use Bubble," I yelled.
It looked good for Bubbles but with the number advantage Primeape hit Bubbles with a Seismic Toss and right as she hit the ground she got hit with a Tackle attack.
"Ma," she said as she passed out.
"Ha ha now to capture the Pokémon," Melissa said throwing a Pokéball at Bubbles.
"No," I yelled but the Pokéball was defected by Chikorita's Vine Whip.
"Staryu, do a spinning Tackle," Jewel yelled.
The Tackle popped the bubble and I was free.
"Bubbles!" I said picking up the Pokémon.
"You can't win," Jewel said.
"Hya."
"Chiko."
"Attack," Jewel and I said at the same time.
Staryu and Chikorita hit both Arcanine and Primape with tackle.
"Riachu Thunder," the boy who had his Pokémon evolved said.
"Riaaacccchhuuu," said the electric Pokémon as it let out its devastating Thunder Attack.
Team Rocket jumped out of a window and landed on an old mattress near their bikes.
"We keep on losing," they said taking off on the cycles.
After the big fight…
We went back to the Pokémon Center to have our Pokémon healed.
"Excuse," a voice said.
I turned around to see a man in a lab coat.
"Yes," I said.
"Thank you for saving the museum," he said.
"It was nothing," I said.
"No I want you two to have this," he said handing Jewel and I a stone.
"Yours is a Fire Stone and you," he said looking at Jewel. "Is a Water Stone."
"Thanks," we said at the same time.
"No thank you," he said.
