RE: Pokémon Max's Story: The PMC VS. The LPC Seventeen! CHAPTER 22 POSTED!!!!! Chapter 23 underway!!!!!!!
Chapter 23: Once in a Cresselia Moon!
Max walked into Abad’s office. As he did, Abad said, “Sit down.”
Max sat across the desk from his friend, and he continued, “Max, we haven’t gotten reports for a few days…why don’t you take a vacation? Really short, I mean a week…just so you can unwind?”
“I don’t know…my mind has been racing ever since I used Regigigas in battle…did you see the way I handled him? I didn’t even know his attacks yet I did…”
“That’s why you’re third in command! You don’t need to know a Pokémon, and you can battle flawlessly! You know that it wouldn’t matter what Pokémon it was, you can mop the floor using it!...Look, take a week off and take Lindsey with you. I hear a week-long cruise is leaving today in a few hours from Canalave City. Fly over there and take the week off.”
“Fine…”
“Um…” said Lindsey as she took her bags out to Charizard, who now had a special saddle on him; seated two and designed to carry cargo.
“Other than…you know…fleeing for our lives, I’ve never flown on Charizard for fun…”
“C’mon!” said Max, “You can’t tell me you don’t trust the Pokémon who’s been with me since I was five, can you?”
“Yes, yes I can.”
“Get on…”
Lindsey sat in front of Max so he could hold her and make her feel a little safer.
They arrived in Canalave City, and boarded the cruiser.
“Wow,” said Lindsey looking at their room, “This is awesome!”
“Attention passengers!” said a voice over the P.A. system, “Our first stop will be the rugged Iron Island, where you can dig up a fossil or two while we visit. We will arrive in approximately three hours.”
“So” said Lindsey, “We got three hours to kill.”
“Heard there is a huge pool on the main deck…” said Max.
After quickly throwing on their bathing suits, they were in the pool splashing around…of course, Charizard was less than thrilled and stayed in the room.
Lindsey went underwater, then accidentally breathed in the water!
Max dove under a grabbed her, and brought her onto the poolside. She coughed up some water and was okay.
“Thank you,” she said in a sweet voice.
“No problem,” said Max, “Let’s go dry off and get dressed, we’ll be there soon.”
“Attention passengers,” said the P.A., “We will now be docking at Iron Island to re-fuel. Please do some sightseeing. We will depart in five hours so you have plenty of time.”
Max and Lindsey went onshore and went to the fossil digging site.
They were each given a fossil digging set, and they dug away.
“Max,” said Lindsey, “Check this out!”
Lindsey dug up a full fossil of a Pokémon!
“Wow,” said Max, “An entire fossil! We can take this to Cinnabar Island, they have a fossil regeneration station there! You’ll have your own new Pokémon!”
“You keep it,” said Lindsey, “I want you to.”
“Thanks.”
After boarding the boat, they met the captain…Mr. Briney!
“Max!” he exclaimed.
Max saw his Wingull, nicknamed Peeko, sitting on his shoulder, and gave him a pat on the head.
“So,” said Lindsey, “Who is this?”
“Mr. Briney,” replied Max, “When I went to the Hoenn region for the first time, he gave me a nice boat to cruise the waters with.”
“And,” said Briney, “You wrecked it.”
“Sorry, but most things can’t stand a full-throttle Aeroblast.”
Lindsey just looked away. Max had never told her about that story before.
“So,” said Max, “Where’s the next destination?”
“Full Moon Island,” replied Briney, “Said to be home to a beautiful Psychic-Type Pokémon. It is said that once in a blue moon the Pokémon will appear only to two people who truly are meant to be together, and then bring them good luck for their whole lives!”
With Briney’s words echoing through his head, Max and Lindsey got off to look around Full Moon Island.
“This place is beautiful,” said Lindsey.
“Yeah,” said Max, “Untouched by modern civilization…people wonder why I go to far off places to train…the scenery is amazing…”
They continued to walk for twenty minutes until they found a pathway in the forest. They walked on the path for about a half hour, and they were in a clearing. In the center of the clearing was a wing that shined like the moon.
Then, Max’s PokéGear rang.
“Hello?” Max answered.
“It’s Ricky,” said Ricky, “Shadow is in the middle of some weird nightmare…she won’t wake up…”
“And do you know what to do?”
“I did some research. On Full Moon Island, there is an item called the Lunar Wing, said to awaken anyone from the deepest sleep. I looked at the coordinates from your pokegear, and saw you were on the island.”
“Max,” said Lindsey, “If Shadow’s in trouble, we’d better go.”
“Alright,” said Max, “Ricky, I’ll be back ASAP.”
“Alight! See you soon!”
“Max-Over and out!”
Max went to grab the Lunar Wing, and then was shot back by a psychic force field.
Groaning as he got up, he said, “I thought that looked too easy.”
Then, a pink Pokémon whose color reflected the light even brighter appeared, and released the force field.
“That’s the Pokémon,” said Lindsey.
Then, Max and Lindsey were filled with a strange sensation through their bodies.
Not even questioning what happened, Max and Lindsey hopped onto Charizard and flew off as fast as the Fire-Type could carry them.
They landed outside the base. Max returned Charizard, and rushed in with the Lunar Wing in hand.
“This way!” yelled Jay who was waiting by the elevator.
Max ran in and the duo waited for the elevator to reach the floor with the bedrooms.
They went into Shadow’s room, where Ricky was waiting.
A few seconds later, Abad and Lindsey came in.
Max approached his old friend, and could here her muttering something about a dark Pokémon…
Not entirely sure about what she was saying and wanting to know more, he forgot about it quickly and placed the Lunar Wing into Shadow’s hand.
There was nothing.
“Why won’t this work?” asked Ricky.
“Lindsey,” said Max, “Could you stay with her? We have to do some serious research.”
“Don’t worry, but hurry, who knows if this is fatal,” said Lindsey.
The guys ran to the elevator to go up to their library.
“No way…” said Ricky.
“What?” asked Max.
“According to this book, there is a Pokémon who can put people into a never ending sleep. The only way to awake them is the Lunar Wing.”
“Okay,” said Jay, “But we have the Lunar Wing and it did nothing.”
“Because Shadow is a psychic, remember?”
“Wait, that means that this Pokémon causing her dream is a Dark-Type?” asked Max.
“I believe so…see, it shows numerous powerful Psychic-Types being decimated by this Pokémon. I believe because it is in fact a Dark-Type, it has a stronger hold on its victims. Since Shadow does have psychic powers, it may have a stronger hold on her.”
“Is there any way to defeat this thing?”
“Get the legendary Cresselia herself to come and break the hold.”
Max ran into Shadow’s room where Lindsey was, and said, “We’re going back to Fullmoon Island.”
Along the way, Max explained to Lindsey they would have to find Cresselia and bring her back to the PMC.
They landed in the forest where they encountered the Pokémon before, and she appeared before them!
“Do you think she’ll listen to us?” asked Lindsey.
“Sure do…it’s one of those few, non-hostile legendaries, as far as I can tell…” said Max, “Cresselia! Please, we need you to come with us!”
Cresselia looked at the couple, and could tell their intentions were pure, and, using her psychic powers lifted the two onto her back and flew off towards the PMC HQ.
Once at the base, Cresselia lifted the sleep from Shadow, and Abad convinced the Psychic legendary to stay at the base.
Upon taking Cresselia to the vault with the other legendaries, James checked the egg, and it was moving!
I AM BACK BABY!!!! COMMENTS!!!!
