Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tommy packed up, stuck a sticky note on Reaper's head, and left.

Night! Tommy

Arekku stepped into HQ blinking tiredly, he walked over to the counch limping on his left leg, he praktically fell on the couch, "Hello everyone." He called from where he sat.

Arekku waved back, "Oh! Hey! Not much. How about you, erm... Nero, right?"

Yo." Tommy said as he carried his laptop in. Setting it down, he started working on his mission report again.

Tommy had finally finished typing his report. He posted it as soon as he finished.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MISSION- Herbology class

There’s a lush garden located on the outskirts of Violet City. Residents say the area is home to an old and powerful Meganium. There must be some truth to the rumors, because the garden stays in bloom, even during winter.

However, we’ve gotten word from the Monks of Sprout Tower that a band of poachers were asking about the garden. Head to Violet City and stop the poachers!

You’ll face 3 poachers with 2 pokemon each, and their leader with 3 pokemon. Don’t let them capture that Meganium.

Pokemon: Any shiny, basic-stage Grass type
Rewards: 1800
Item: Up to 3 Berries awarded by the grader.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After receiving his latest mission on his TADS, he closed the TADS, got ready, and headed out. According to the briefing, he was to head to Violet to head off the poachers before they reached the garden. I really need a flying type… Tommy thought as he headed out on his Ratchet Board. Hitting Mach 3, he stayed at that speed, and soon reached the outskirts of Violet, where the Garden was said to be, accidentally passing over it to fast. Trying to turn around, the gravity switch turned off on accident, and Tommy plummeted into the town below…

Tommy woke up, sprawled out on the floor, his Board had been returned before he hit the ground. A group of people had gathered around him, albeit maybe only 5 or 6 people. Three of six included a lady holding a pot of flowers, actually quite covered in dirt and sweat. The second and third guys were the same as the lady, probably workers or assistants. The fourth, a man, had a weird look on his face, wondering “who this brat was”. He was garbed in a black suit, with a bit of brown patched in to it in a spiral design. The other two men were dressed in… whatever monks wore. Tommy immediately jumped up, much to the surprise of the others.

“Are you ok?” The Florist and workers asked. “Yeah, I’m fine. What happened?” With a bit of awe, one of the monks responded. “Well…, you fell out of the sky!” he exclaimed pointing upwards. “I’m not surprised…” Tommy muttered. “Huh?” the Florist and two other men asked. “Anyways, what are you here for?” The man in black asked. “Ah, yes, about that, I was sent to go… do something at the garden. Think you could point me in that direction?” Tommy asked the group. Everyone in the group did not know, except for the monks. “Can you step over this way? The monks asked. Tommy obliged, and followed them away, leaving the group in a puzzled state. However, little did Tommy know, the man in black started to follow them.

Close to the Outskirts of town, Tommy and the monks stopped. “To answer your question, we do not know exactly where it is, but poachers have been asking around. Are YOU a poacher?” they asked suspiciously. Tommy shook his head vigorously. “Ok then, well, what we DO know is that it is somewhere in this direction on the outskirts of town.” Both monks said at the same time. “Thanks! I was sent to do something, to prevent…” Tommy said, the monks now with a quizzical look on their faces. “But anyways, Thanks!” Tommy said as he rushed out. The man in black had heard, and went to inform a woman standing near the gym, who had a large scar running down her face, wearing a black, tattered robe with tears and claw marks, with a red three claw insignia, running from her right shoulder to her left hip. The other two with her were wearing the same thing as the first guy, but with Purple swirls instead of brown swirls. The small group followed Tommy into the outskirts of the town.

Tommy arrived at the garden, finally. Out of the corner of his eyes, he sees four blurs race across the trees to his left. Throwing out a quick spread of flame, the group jumped out. Tommy jumped all the way in front of them, stopping them in their tracks. Quickly, he spread a high-rising ring of fire around them, forming a natural battle arena. The two grunts of the team stepped up, the purple swirl duo. They both sent out a Poliwag. Tommy sent out Chiko and Treecko, the green fighting duo, and the battle was about to get underway.

Order: Poliwag x2 (1 and 2), Treecko, Chiko

Both Poliwags used an Ice Ball attack, hitting Treecko and Chiko lightly, but doing some amount of damage due to super effectiveness. “Treecko, Sunny Day! Chiko, let it loose!” Tommy yelled. As the sunlight instantly grew harsh, a beam of Solar energy smashed into 1 of the Poliwag’s, KOing it. Trainer 1 sent out his Kadabra and returned his fallen Poliwag.

Order: Kadabra, Poliwag, Chiko, Treecko

Kadabra used a Disable on Treecko, cutting off the use of a Sunny Day attack. Poliwag then used Rain Dance. “Aga—Wait, no!” Tommy pleaded, but it was too late, as Chiko and Treecko started powering up they’re Solarbeams. Kadabra used a powerful Psycho Cut on Treecko, damaging him badly. Poliwag tried to use a Hypnosis on Chiko, but luckily dodged. Chiko and Treecko let off a silmaltaneous blast that overwhelmed Poliwag, and left Kadabra gasping for breath. The second trainer called out his Kirlia, returning his Poliwag.

Order: Kadabra, Treecko, Kirlia, Chiko

Kadabra used a Miracle Eye, getting ready to hit Treecko without fail. Treecko responded with a tough, critical Giga Drain, draining most of the energy from Kadabra, and restoring the small lizards health. The other grunt told Kirlia to use an unexpected Icy Wind, hurting Chiko considerably, as well as Treecko. “Ok Chiko, now an Ancient Power!” Tommy shouted as a bunch of ancient rocks smashed into Kadabra, knocking it out, and raising all of Chiko’s stats. The defeated grunt recalled his Kadabra, and hung his head in shame. Kirlia didn’t wait, and used a well aimed Ice punch to take out Treecko. Tommy sent out Vibrava as Chiko started charging up a Solarbeam.

Order: Vibrava, Chiko, Kirlia

Vibrava used a Dragon Breath, which was combined with a Solarbeam to end the match.

The two grunts held their heads down in despair as they were kicked in the backside by both boss and the other guy. Being now kicked to the side, the grunts laid their helplessly. The Brown swirl guy, the original person who had heard, stepped up. Tommy returned both of his pokemon, and readied the next. “Surprised?” he called sneeringly. “Not really, I probably expected more, if you ask me.” Tommy responded calmly, clearly upsetting and angering the guy. “NO MORE TALKING! LET”S END THIS!” screamed the man. “You started it…” Tommy laughed, sweatdropping. This enraged the guy moreover. Both sent out their pokemon. It was Poliwhirl vs. Flaffy.

Order: Poliwhirl, Flaffy

Poliwhirl started off with a Double Slap, slapping Flaffy continuously for five slaps, before getting a Thunder Fang, paralyzing it, and slowing it down. Flaffy then used a Shock Wave, hitting the water type without fail. Straight after using a Rain Dance, Flaffy took it out with a Thundershock. The man growled loudly as he sent out his stronger pokemon: Poliwrath.

Order: Poliwrath, Flaffy

Poliwrath wrestled Flaffy into Submission, hurting Poliwrath in the struggle. In retaliation, Flaffy used a Rain Dance powered Thunder to knock out the wrestler.

Cursing loudly as he sank to his knees, he was kicked in the head by a hard heel, sending the man to where the other two were. A bunch of poaching weapons fell out of the man’s bag. The woman stepped up to challenge Tommy. She had a look in her eyes…..

Meanwhile…

Pretty much the whole town, including the leader, had come to help put out the towering flames from all sides, unbeknownst to Tommy. Hordes of the town’s pokemon were helping as well, with dirt, rocks, wind, water, and whatever they could. At some points they managed to get a part through, but it instantly sealed back up…

Back in the circle o’ flame…

“So what are you’re reasons for stopping us Boy? Why? Do you hate us or something?” she sneered. “Because I know you’re after the Meganium.” Tommy said calmly. “And why do you think that?” “Well for one thing, you were heading in that direction. Then, you decided to fight. It was only a matter of time.” The women stared in disbelief. “Well, shall we end this, or are you gonna' go out on a limb?” Tommy pressured. Tommy was answered by being rammed by a Rampardos in the stomach. This started the battle immediately as the flames flickered for a split second, a Lairon now on the battlefield.

Order: Rampardos, Lairon

Screeching, Rampardos lowered Lairon’s defense harshly. Lairon retaliated with a Metal Claw. “Rampardos, Zen Headbutt!!” The women cried, Rampardos bashing into Lairon with much damage. Another Metal Claw takes out Rampardos, scoring another super effective hit. The women sighed, returning her pokemon, choosing a few choice words. She sends out her next pokemon, a Politoed.

Order: Politoed, Lairon

Politoed it told to use a powerful Waterfall attack. Luckily, even though it’s super effective, Lairon manages to hold on, thanks to his crazy defense stat. Lairon then KOes the second pokemon of his battle term then with a Metal Burst, doubling the damage given. The woman is now enraged, and sends out her last pokemon, a Zangoose.

Order: Zangoose, Lairon

Zangoose takes down Lairon with a Brick Break, due to double super effectiveness. Tommy sends out Chiko, ready to do her part.

Order: Zangoose used a Swords Dance, heightening its attack by two stages. “Chiko, Sunny Day!” Tommy yelled, the sun brightening harshly. As Zangoose charged up a Focus Punch, a Solarbeam was fired, hitting Zangoose hard, and making it flinch due to loss of concentration. Zangoose ended it with a quick X-scissor, luckily scoring a critical along with super effectiveness. Zangoose panted heavily as Marshtomp came out.

Order: Zangoose, Marshtomp

Zangoose tries to use a Thunderbolt on Marshtomp, but type holds it ineffective. “Marshtomp, finish this! Jump to the side of Zangoose and use a Superpower!” Tommy said loudly, assured of victory as Zangoose was smashed into a KO, hitting her trainer, and sending her into the group at the side. The Flame ring died down slowly, giving Tommy enough time to gag and tie up the four poachers and the Zangoose.

As the flames finally died down, the towns people saw Tommy standing in the middle of the clearing, absorbing the rest of the fire into his palm, and four people (and the Zangoose) tied up, and gagged (including Zangoose). As the people swarmed Tommy, Tommy managed to jump out of the way.

After much celebration, everyone went home, except for the two monks, the florist, and the two other workers. They congratulated him separately. “But how did you know it was poachers?” The Florist asked. “Well, they were trying to speed by, so I stopped em’. If they weren’t poachers or thieves or wannabes, they would run. But they didn’t, so I showed them not to mess around here… ever again.” Tommy added. Just then, a Shiny Meganium appeared out of the trees, and signaled for Tommy to follow. Waving good bye to everyone, Tommy follows the shiny further into the woods as the people walk back to town.

Tommy comes to the Garden where the Meganium apparently resided. A bunch of shiny grass types were scuttling about. As Tommy’s eyes glimmered at the sight, the shiny Meganium nudged him in the side, showing Tommy he could catch one. Looking around, he starts off at full speed into the depths of the garden.

Suddenly, he tripped. He looked back to see a Grass Knot, and a little to the left, a Tangela. He decided to catch the little bugger. He sent out Vibrava, and the match unfolded.

Order: Vibrava, Tangela

Vibrava started off with a Supersonic, confusing the foe. Tangela, on the other hand, accidentally slapped itself, doing some damage. “Vibrava, Sand Tomb!” Tommy said loudly as Tangela was encased in sand, hurting it some. Tangela got through confusion, still confused, and used Sunny day, lighting up the area. The confusion was evaporated. Vibrava used a Sonic Boom, sending the vine pokemon into the brush. It came out and used a Wring Out, hurting Vibrava pretty badly. “Vibrava, HYPER BEAM!” Tommy shouted. A large beam of energy hit Tangela smack in the face, landing a critical, but only just after an Endure had been used. Since Vibrava had to recharge, Tangela took the chance to KO Vibrava with a Power Whip. Tommy recalled Vibrava, but did not call anyone out. He threw his Aqua Ball, hitting the Tangela upside the head, who was then absorbed into the ball. One… Two… Three…… Click. The Tangela was caught!

With the ball teleporting away, Tommy waved goodbye to all of the shinies, now ready to leave. Petting the Meganium, he set off back to HQ.

As he walked into the very edge of Violet, some flowers in line with him bloomed. As he walked, the blooming did the same. People watched in awe as Tommy walked, obliviously through the town. He stopped to scratch his back, and the flowers stopped too. As he exited the town, all of the flowers disappeared, and then all burst out in bloom at the same time. Tommy finally noticed as the people oohed and aahed at the sight. He rode away on his Ratchet Board, and was soon at HQ. He sat down, and started typing up a report, just like this one. Freaky, eh? That’s the mission report.

"Probably not." Tommy echoed, updating stuff now.

"That's correct BL." Tommy said as he woke up from the floor. He had had a nightmare where his father was teaching him about stocks.

Nero raied an eyebrow at Arekku, "You have a fluffy bunny?"
