Mount Moon Madness

What pokemon are there at Mount Moon, Truf thought. The bright sunlight shone down and Truf looked at his map. We should be at Mount Moon soon, he said. Cerrie took out her bike from her computer. "Race you there," she said. "Okay," said Ardus while he got on his skateboard and speeded along. "Wait!" Truf said. "Charmander, quick get on the bike. We have to catch up to them!" Charmander quickly hopped on and Truf pedaled furiously. Truf gasped for breath. There was no way he could catch up. "Oh well," he said. "We'll see them soon."

"Let's call Pikachu out for lunch," Truf said. "Pikachu, time to come out," a energetic pikachu emerged from the pokeball. "Pika pii! (let's eat)." Truf unpacked some food from his backpack. Pikachu, Truf, and Charmander looked at the selection. They all went for the slice of apple pie Truf bought at Pewter City. "Don't worry, guys I have another slice," said Truf as he took out the other slice of pie. "You guys can have them." "Char-mander? (What about you?)" asked Charmander. "Me? Don't worry about me. I think I have to lose weight anyway," says Truf looking at his thin stomach. It grumbled at him mockingly. Truf grabbed a rice cake and started munching. After they were done eating Truf said "Oh no!, Cerrie and Ardus must be at Mount Moon by now! We better start moving."

Pikachu and Charmander got into the straw box on Truf's bike and Truf starts pedaling. After pedaling for ten minutes Truf, Charmander, and Pikachu get splashed by water. "What's going on!?" screams Truf. "I challenge you to a battle!" a boy says. "Squirtle, water gun," the boy says. The water hits Truf and he is all wet. Pikachu and Charmander manage to avoid the attack. "Okay, Pikachu I choose you," says Truf. "Okay, Pikachu use Thundershock!" Pikachu shocks the squirtle. "Squirtle, use Bite!" The squirtle runs to Pikachu, and Pikachu starts running. Squirtle bites Pikachu's foot and Pikachu yelps. "Piiii kaaaa!" "Pikachu, return," says Truf. "Okay, you win," says Truf. The boy grins. "Good luck next time," the boy leaves quickly on his skateboard. "There goes another one," says Truf. "No one ever tells me their name before they leave. Pikachu come out." Pikachu comes out to the pokeball looking upset. "Don't worry Pikachu, we'll get them next time," Truf says as he put some potion on Pikachu. Pikachu looks relieved. "Mander char char, (Don't worry, you did a good job)" says Charmander.

After fifteen minutes they reach the exit of Mount Moon. In the background they hear soft music. "It's the song of a jigglypuff," says Truf. "Cool, I want to catch one." Truf yawns. Charmander blinks slowly and Pikachu lies down. Pretty soon they are all asleep. Meanwhile Ardus manages to catch up with Cerrie. "You should have waited at the entrance. I raced in after you." says Ardus. "Sorry, I got carried away," replies Cerrie. "It's dark in here." Ardus and Cerrie start shivering and huddle closer. "Where's Truf anyway," asks Ardus. "Haven't seen him," says Cerrie. "He must have chickened out!" they said together.

Smoke filled the cave. "Prepare for trouble! And make it double! To protect the world from devastation, to unite all peoples within our nation." "Oh no! It's them," says Cerrie. "To denounce the evils of truth and love, to extend our reach to the stars above." "Circie!" "Adon!" "Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light, Surrender now, or prepare to fight!" "Quick, call out your pokemon," says Cerrie. "Go Kangaskan! Wait, where are my pokeballs!?" exclaims Ardus. "I got your pokeballs over here!" says Adon. "You stole my pokemon!" "Go Seaking, water them down," says Adon.
