26 Chapter 25 Growth and the weather

Kash P.O.V

As I leave the desert I appreciet the experiance and knowledge that I gained inside it as well of gratitude to be able to face a legendary Pokemon in battle allowing for creek to evolve as I know I will have to take him to the next Pokemart to get some tm's as he is able to learn new moves.When we finally get to a place that looks appropriate spot I set up a tent and release my Pokemon that look haggard and tired but happy to be out of that environment, the most happiest is dash as he was only able to go out once in a while at oasis that we found now that he is in a small pond next to the campsite.As I take care of my Pokémon treating any injuries that had gained while in the hostile region as sandstorms and the dry heat with conserving water has taken a toll on them giving them hidden injuries, but it has also strengthen them making there bodies stronger and resilient.I can understand why many would not go into there even more so extended amount of time but I realise the importance of understanding different terrains and having your Pokémon adjust and make use of them to get stronger and grow. As for creek after his hard fought battle will need the most time to heal and get back to full health.

While I decide to keep my encounter to very few people as I don't want regirock to be disturbed because of the help he gave me and creek, as I try not to get arrogant, as some trainers get from success. While I look at my Pokémon the greatest growth could be seen in creek and surprisingly shin thanks to the strong winds that get generated in the desert, he learned much greatly increasing is adaptability along with his ability to predict where the wind is coming from.As I get plans for my Pokémon I start to prepare food and get them fed and ready to rest as we are going to begin traveling again.

A few days later

I arrive back at Mauville City while heading to the Pokecenter and market to heal my Pokemon after what feels like a long time since I have been to a town or city needed to get a breather as well get supplies for the journeys. I head to the mart first to get them as well hopefully a few moves for creek to help battle his weaknesses that he has to deal with, when I leave I am in suprise as I see 2 acquaintances walking toward the Pokecenter since I was going there anyways I follow and head inside while I hand my Pokemon with Nurse joy and tell cinder to follow her. I go to where I had seen them head toward the canteen and I see another person I know who notice me and calls out to me supriseing the 2 who had there back 2 me.

Birch "Hello Kash it's been while since I or anyone else has heard from you where have you been and how are you doing" as he smiles

Kash "Hello Birch, Scott and Wattson have been well, I have been stuck in a desert for over a few weeks as I was trying to find the mysterious ruins, while I didn't find them I found some ancient writing I have never seen before that I took pictures of wanting to try and understand what they are telling. I also was training my Pokemon making them stonger to be ready for more fights as I have my 5th badge and plan to head to fortree city to get another badge as well of find the rare Pokemon I have been looking for." Not wanting them to know about regirock while hoping they can help me translate the ancient text suprisingly it was scott who came out

Scott" I know just the person who can decipher that text for you just send me the pictures and I can get back to you as soon as possible, as we are here for another reason as the weather has been acting out recently as their is a lab a few days away who specialise in weather we wanted someone to head out as they are not returning any of our calls" as I look at birch and wattson seeing there serious expression as I look outside as see the sky does look a little odd as the sky was clear when I first came inside now I see an overcast

Birch " It has been acting sporadically late and been affecting the Pokemon as one can expect, I was thinking as soon as I saw you that it is on the way to fortree city that you can stop by and see if anything is wrong and if they can send anyone to see if they can fix this"as I agree as this affects many people and Pokemon

Watson "Mauville would be in your debt if you help us as our city is not the biggest and not the strongest and this weather can affect the city on a whole causing many people to have losses"

As I assure them I will head out the next day as my Pokemon heal and I get some much needed rest along with a nice meal, as I head to my room knowing my Pokemon need time to heal correctly.The next day as I leave and assure them I will help, they tell me it can take as long as 4 days to get to the lab as I thank them and head out with cinder following me.

A few days later

I have gotten tires as the weather is starting change every few hours from rain to harsh sun to hail, when the sky suddenly clears in the last day making me think it is isolated around a certain area, as I release Shin to help be on look out I notice he is moving weirdly as I feel him being contrained I ask him and he tells me thier is a stange magnetism in the air making it harder to moves it is pulling him in all directions, as I realise it must be due to the fact he is a steel type that only he is affected as both my other Pokemon and the wild Pokemon seem fine. Making me think this might be affecting the weird situation around Mauville city, as I note to tell the scientist when I find them. After a few hours following the path I finally see a large building that has weird contraptions on top of it as well a few castforms flying along. When I rach the door, I start to knock when after a a few minutes someone finally answers who looks tired as a slaking.
