An Omega Adventure: Part 5-Health Hazards and Maxie


Jim made it out of Mauville, only for it to turn out the HM Rock Smash was necessary to pass through. He then returned to the Pokemon Center and withdrew King Duuuh.., who was unhappy at being required to perform actual work, but happy he would be returned to the PC immediately afterwards. after traversing through the terrain, Jim proceeded to catch even more Pokemon.

 

Pokemon Acquired!-Pikablu the Marill

The Marill line always has that cheery smile on their face, which must mean they're all happy, all the time, right? Not always. Pikablu is actually rather lonely most of the time, and doesn't know how to make friends. Being in the PC gives him hope that he'll learn how to socialize.

Pokemon Acquired!-Stonebrain the Geodude

His name is rather demeaning, but this Geodude is so lax that he never goes out of his way to complain about it. This is despite being the exact opposite of dumb, as can be seen in his alertness to sounds.

 

Pokemon Acquired!-Hothead the Numel

At first, the nickname for Hothead seems unfitting, as he's yet another jolly friend to everyone. However, the friendliness is offset by a quick temper. Exercise caution if you want to be his friend.

 

Pokemon Acquired!-Carrie-tay the Machop

Carrie-tay is very lax. As in, so relaxed that she never actually bothers to train and hone her strength, preferring to use up that time in taking naps at every opportunity. It's a good thing she's in the PC where lazing around all day is acceptable, then!

 

At a halfway point to the next town, Jim ran into May along the way. A quick discussion about the size of Mt. Chimney and free healing of his team, the trainer was once more on his merry way. And more Pokemon catching was to be had.

 

Pokemon Acquired!-Bruple the Koffing

Once more, judging Bruple for his dopey expression is not the way to go. His approach to situations is highly careful and analytical. Adding on to that, he is stubborn in finding the right solution, and has indominable will in achieving what he wants.

 

Pokemon Acquired!-Maggie the Slugma

Maggie makes a great friend if you can get past the lava body. She's rather modest about herself and holds a strong will. Overall a reliable friend. The Slugma also befriended Maddie due to their similar names.

 

The route was long. Absurdly long. Luckily, another run in into May meant another team healing, which was nice! But then Jim had to go through an area completely covered in volcanic ash... Which wasn't as nice. Oh well, more Pokemon were caught.... Again.

 

Pokemon Acquired!-Spotty the Spinda

An initial impression of Spotty is usually, well.... Spotty. He never says anything due to an overall quiet nature, and constantly stumbling around makes it hard to read body language. Despite the movement impediment, Spotty is highly curious about nearly everything around him.

 

Pokemon Acquired!-Gaiung the Sandshrew

Gaiung is jolly. Consequently he's taken up the role others have as everyone's best friend and confidant. That is, when he's not napping along with Carrie-tay. His schedule sadly leaves only a small amount of time to actually socialize with others.

 

Pokemon Acquired!-Talos the Skarmory

With such an imposing name and stature, surely Talos must be-okay, I think you get the point. In short, sassy and often acts like a clown. This means he's ended up the life of the party around those in the PC environment.

 

Pokemon Acquired!-Aolani the Swablu

Joy to the PC! Aolani is jolly. Of course, this makes sense due to her species and their general attitude. Being a small cloud songbird doesn't stop her from having a sturdy body capable of withstanding hits.

 

After the long and arduous trail, Jim finally made it to Fallarbor Town. A quick trip to the Pokemon Center resulted in the team being healed and Stormageddon being put back on the team. Shortly after exiting, May rushed up to the trainer in a panic. Apparently the Professor Cozmo she mentioned had disappeared! The culprits? None other than Team Magma themselves... Hearing that made Jim clench his fist. He knew they were up to no good from the last time they meant.... So he jumped at May's suggestion to track them down at Meteor Falls. Of course, he was interrupted by trainers and wild Pokemon along the way, so he wasn't as quick as he'd have liked to be....

 

Pokemon Acquired!-Snikt the Zangoose

Sharp claws unfortunately make befriending others hard for the jolly Zangoose. Then again, neither does having a vain attitude and considering oneself the best there is. What a paradox.

Pokemon Acquired!-Presly the Volbeat

Presly has opinions. And he's adamant about keeping them. He's highly persistent in maintaining his... Persistence. Generally disliked by the PC-denizens.

 

While on the way, Stormageddon evolved into a Pelipper. This meant she was now no longer base stage, and up to snuff with the rest of the team. At that moment, her haughty attitude and massive ego returned... Unfortunately.

 

Just before the entrance of Meteor Falls, Jade too, began to evolve. And without the presence of a Dawn Stone, it could have only meant one thing..... The soon-to-be Gardevoir looked back at his trainer, who simply nodded and let the evolution happen. Afterwards stood the now fully evolved Jade, who was so ecstatic he drew Jim in for a crushing embrace. Getting the air squeezed from his lungs wasn't particularly present, but the only protest he made was that they had yet to meet up with May as they had promised. Only then did the new Gardevoir relent.

 

Once inside Meteor Falls itself, Jim stumbled onto May just about to confront a Magma Grunt and what looked to be an admin of theirs accosting Professor Cozmo for his meteorite. Turns out said admin was named Tabitha, and he laughed at the thought of two children disrupting their plans. But after trouncing countless Magma Grunts and having May at his side, Jim felt rather confident going into the double battle. And surely enough, Jade with her newfound evolution tore through the Pokemon with little effort, leaving a very confused grunt and admin.

 

The victory was quickly cut short with the appearance of another organization introducing themselves as Team Aqua showed up. This prompted Tabitha and the grunt to quickly flee after snatching away the meteorite. As it turned out, Magma and Aqua were rivals with each other, with conflicting goals. While Magma wished to expand the landmass to further human development, Aqua wished to expand the seas to provide conditions more conducive to Pokemon well-being. Their Leader, Archie said much himself, and warned Jim to never interfere with his plans.

 

With that chilling sequence out of the way, Professor Cozmo was returned to his lab, safe and sound-though without the meteorite. May wanted to check out Mauville's Gym, which Jim had already beaten. Nevertheless, he took her up on her offer to head back there, for the reason of hoping to check out Mt. Chimney, apparently where Magma and Aqua had congregated. Probably. Anyways, a quick healing of the team and Jim was off to Mt. Chimney.

 

Turns out Jim was already too late, as Magma and Aqua were currently duking it out. Running through the chaos brought the young trainer face to face with Tabitha, who was still sore over his loss back at Meteor Falls. One childish tantrum on Tabitha's part later, yet another battle and victory ensued. There seems to be a pattern here....

 

Then again, trouncing the grunts and admins are one thing. Taking on the leader? A bit more frightening. Jim found himself up against Maxie, whom he had encountered back in Slateport. The Magma Leader made it perfectly clear he would show no mercy, yet the trainer and his team refused to back down. Once more though, the odds were heavily skewed in his favor, and the leader of a criminal organization with grand ambitions suffered defeat at the hands of a teenage, relatively inexperienced trainer. Mightyena and Golbat were nothing Jade couldn't take on, and even the trump card Camerupt fell relatively easily to Stormageddon. This obviously struck a nerve with Maxie, who claimed that had he used Mega Evolution on his Camerupt, Jim would have fallen easily. Before being capable of backing up his claims though, a certain call was made and Team Magma departed, Aqua quick on their heels.

 

Dealing with one criminal team was bad enough... But two? That was worse. Sighing, the trainer went down Mt. Chimney as quick as possible, heading for the next Gym at Lavaridge....

 

(I will say this. Having limited access to a laptop because your parents keep shoving you off makes finishing things hard. So that explains this MASSIVE delay, and daily updates will no longer be a thing I think. Sorry!)

Heheh, great minds think alike. I also named my Marill Pikablu and my Slugma Maggie.

 

Carrie-tay sounds like Pig Latin... you need a Pig Latin name for Spoink. :P

 

Funny story about May becoming the new transportation service... I also had an HM slave for using Rock Smash, but I didn't want it with me at Mt. Chimney. So when May warped me to Mauville, I had to get my HM slave, use Rock Smash, go all the way back to Fallarbor, deposit the HM slave in the PC, then go all the way back to Mt. Chimney.

Not much else you could name a Marill and female Slugma without getting into ridonculous names though. =P

 

blerg, it's supposed to be a pun on karate. Geddit? Cause it's a female Machop.... I really am the worst at nicknames. xP

 

......Yeah, same here. I uh, didn't mention it in story because...... It'd be boring to type, I guess. =P

But I want a team that has everyone able to, you know, do stuff. =P Also, I already told you I'd consider Sharpedo but I can't make any promises. =P

I ended up using both Sharpedo and Milotic on my team.

 

Konuju's team rating: 7.8/10

....And you said earlier that you weren't using Milotic cause of having one in Emerald. =P

What a reliable narrator. =P

Mainly cause I didn't want to give her the exact same name as in Emerald, Eilonwy. =P

 

But when I caught a Feebas, I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I ended up calling her Angharad, who is Eilonwy's mother.
