Forest of Dreams [Open]

Now that Lucas "Emerald" Ordo had recruited the girl Blue and her Wartortle for the Mewtwo excavation, the two were on their way to Pewter City via the Viridian Forrest. But first they made a quikcstop in Viridian City.

As they readied themselves, Emerald went up to the view of the Forest from the edge of the Town. "So, that's the Viridian Forest, eh? Kinda like the Pinwheel forest. 'Ever been in there, Blue?" he said.

"Nope. But I've heard there are adorable bugs in there!" She replied happily. Wartortle was busy trying to paw the bag of poffins hanging on Blue's belt. "Let's go!" She chirped happily as she stepped ahead.

"Then we've got no time to lose. To the Forest!" and he marched right into the Viridian Forest with Genesis, Blue, and Wartortle fallowing behind.

As they went in, Emerald looked around the place. He could hear Pokemon all around. "Well, I certainly can see why people come here. The Atmosphere is amazing!" he said, Sarcastically. Then, Genesis went to a tree, and pointed up. "Yes Genesis, it's a Tree branch. Good eyes." said Lucas.

It's a berry, you Moron! Up there! Genesis said to him.

Lucas looked up. "What is that?" he said.

It certainly looked like a berry, star shaped yellow berry with a glistening red center. Suddenly it jumped down, waving an appendage. Yes, appendage. It was no berry, but a Staryu.


Level 11

Lucas jumped in shocked at sight of it. "Yaaahh! What's that?!" he said. Then he got out his Pokedex and looked it up.

The Pokedex beeped:

Staryu: Star shape pokemon
STARYU’s center section has an organ called the core that shines bright red. If you go to a beach toward the end of summer, the glowing cores of these POKeMON look like the stars in the sky. At night, the middle of its body slowly flickers with the same rhythm as a human heartbeat. If its body is torn, it can grow back if the red core remains.

Staryu just lay there, flopping helplessly. It finally struggled onto its 'feet' and clung to a tree branch for support.

"Wait, if that's a Water Pokemon, then why is it up a Tree?" said Lucas. Genesis shrugged. "Well let's see if we can get it down" said Lucas. Lucas then jumped up the tree, grabbed the Staryu, jumped back down, and set it back onto the ground.

The Staryu wobbled unsteadily and fell back. It wriggled it's legs helplessly, which looked pretty funny.

(You're so lucky. It only knows Tackle because it learns Water Gun at level 17 :( )

"Hey Blue, come here. There's a Weird Staryu over here. I think there's something wrong with it." Lucas called out.

Blue, looking at a Weedle wiggling hurried over. "Wha- Oh my god!" She cried. She hurried over and picked up the Staryu. It's legs were incredibly rubbery, which they shouldn't be. It immediately evaporated in a poof and it showed a small black fox. It was a Zorua in disguise! "A Zorua...It doesn't belong in the forest...I wonder where it came from.." Blue pondered. Wartortle was more interested somewhere else. "War! Tort!" It cried, waving wildly at a bush.

Blue hurried over, carrying the unconcious Zorua. There was a Zoroark lying behind the bush, unconcious. "Something happened to the Zoroark and Zorua changed form to protect itself..." Blue decided.

"Whoa, wait a minute. What's a Zoroark and a Zorua doing in Kanto? It makes no sense. But if it's that weak, we need to get them out of this Forest and to a Pokecenter." said Lucas. "And Pewter City's just over that way. You carry Zorua. I'll take care of Zoroark."

He and Genesis picked up and Carried Zoroark, then started running towards Pewter City. "Well what are you waiting for Blue? Come on!" said Lucas.

"Coming!" Blue said. They quickly reached the PokeCentre and got them both healed. Zoroark was wheeled away in a large stretcher in the Intensive Care Unit. Zorua looked sorrowfully at the Zoroark, then padded to a corner and curling up, went to sleep.

"Well looks like that takes care of that. So now what?" said Lucas.

"I guess you could go challenge the gym. I heard Brock takes double challenges. He sends out two pokemon together and the two challengers sent out one pokemon each..." Blue looked across sympathetically at the Zorua. "We'll be back to pick up the Zorua later." She informed Nurse Joy as she left the PokeCentre, heading for the gym.
