Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Emblem Island
The way to Emblem Island was not easy, there were lots of rocks and narrow pathways so they had to manuever slowly and careful. On their way to Emblem Island, they spotted many Pokemon on the way, such as Lapras and Jellicent. Lapras came close to the boat was particulally affectionate towards Carson. They finally reached Emblem Island after a short boat ride, and there were was an entrance to the cave. Near the entrance was a helicopter, with the Team Boom logo. Team Boom was up to no good. They trekked in the cave. The cave was cold and icy, there was ice forming on the walls of the cave and there was some icy patches. Mike sent out Decidueye out of its Pokeball for safety. Carson sent out his Crabrawler and Georgia sent out her Umbreon for the same reason as well.
Jessica was a little scared to travel through the cave, so she stayed back, while the 3 of them manuevered through. At the end of the icy cave, there were 4 team boom members planning something. At the end of the cave, there was a pedestal with some sort of stone attached to it. A team boom member saw the three and notified the admin who was with them. The admin ordered the three grunts to attack. Out came a Graveler, Torkoal and Passimian. Decidueye used leaf blade on the Graveler, but Graveler held back with strength. Umbreon used Dark Pulse on the Passimian, but it was not effective and did not a lot of damage. Crabrawler used Thunder Punch on Torkoal which did moderate damage. The grunts hit back with some hits, but the Pokemon were not affected much. Decidueye finished off Passimian with a critical hit spirit shackle, Umbreon finished off Graveler with Iron Tail and Crabrawler finished off Torkoal with a power-up punch. Suddenly, a blue aura surrounded Crabrawler, it was getting bigger, it evolved into Crabominable.
The admin was disappointed in the grunts. The admin introduced himself, his name was Levi and he joined Team Boom recently, after the riots that happened. He said instead of being a grunt, the boss was amazed by his strength and promoted him to admin immediately. Levi stated that they were going for the stone on the pedestal, called the Hail Stone, it was one of 3 stones they needed to unlock what they called, "the piece de resistance". Georgia warned Levi to not even lay a finger on that stone. Levi made a compromise, he would need to battle Mike. If Mike won, he would leave, but if he won, the stone was his. Mike agreed and the battle started.
Levi started off with Hitmontop. Mike sent out Lampent. Lampent used will'o'wisp to burn Hitmontop. Hitmontop used aerial ace, which did a chunk of damage to Lampent. Lampent used Flamethrower on Hitmontop, which left it burnt to a crisp, but still standing. Hitmontop came back with a Gyro Ball, which left Lampent a bit weak. But, right before Lampent was going to attack, Hitmontop used sucker punch, which fainted Lampent. Levi chuckled, he thought this was going to be an easy battle. Mike sent out Zoroark next, and used night slash, which knocked out Hitmontop. Levi was getting a little ticked off, he then sent out his Manectric. Manectric used Discharge, which did damage to Zoroark, but Zoroark then used Psychic. Manectric then used flamethrower surprisingly but Zoroark took it like a champ. Zoroark used Sucker Punch on the Manectric, but it got paralyzed due to it's static ability. Manectric used Bite on Zoroark, which did a little bit of Damage, but Zoroark could not move the next turn due to paralysis. Manectric then finished off Zoroark with a critical hit Discharge. Mike knew Levi was the hardest Team Boom grunt he had faced so far.
Mike sent out Lucario next. Lucario used Brick break on Manectric, but it came back with Bite. Lucario then knocked out Manectric with its signature move, Aura Sphere. Levi became mad, He sent out his ace pokemon, Gastrodon. Lucario hit Gastrodon with a Power-up Punch, but Gastrodon came back with Earthquake, which was super effective against Lucario. Lucario used Brick Break, which did a good chunk of damage, but Gastrodon used ice punch, and froze Lucario. Mike then switched Lucario for his ace, Decidueye. Decidueye used Spirit Shackle, then Gastrodon used Scald and burned Decidueye. Decidueye then finished off the sea slug pokemon with a leaf blade. Levi was so mad there was steam coming out of his ears, he was defeated.
Levi decided to break the deal and run towards the Hail stone, that is until Articuno showed up at the top of the opening of the cave. Mike was in awe, his first time seeing a legendary Pokemon that up close. Right when Levi placed a finger on the hail stone, Articuno was gonna charge up an Ice Beam. Levi then quickly removed his finger off and ran for it, and Articuno took back its Ice Beam. When Articuno was flapping it's wings, little snowflakes started to fall down on the ground. Jessica came to the end of the cave because she saw Team Boom members exiting the cave, Jessica was amazed. Articuno then dropped an Ice Stone right into Mike's hand, then it flew away back towards the snowy area of Hammerton. Mike and the gang exited the cave until Mike tripped on a rock, the rock turned out to be a dusk stone, he put it in his bag to keep. They got back to the small boardwalk, and they found out that Team Boom broke their boat on purpose, they were stranded on the island with no way of getting back on the mainland.
Jessica made a suggestion of exploring Emblem Island to see if there was someone or something that could help us. They walked around the island and spotted another cave up ahead. Then they saw some writing on the outer cave wall, which could help them solve a mystery.
