Chapter 10 - Mt. Moon Exploration Part-3

Chansey noticed Gan and Warren and was spooked instantly. Chansey turned to run and Gan gave chance with his Koffing ahead of him.

"Damn!" Warren cursed and ran as well to follow Gan.

Chansey wasn't a fast pokemon by any means, its little stubby feet could only run so fast; if that could even be considered fast. Chansey was a kind-hearted Pokemon that healed Pokemon and people that were wounded or hurt in any place they dwelled or came across.

It became a favorite to use in Pokemon Centers long ago. Gan watched his steps as he ran, as to not step on some Geodude or fall into a slightly deep crater and injury himself.

"Flamethrower!" Gan called out and commanded.

"Koffing!" Flames spewed like a beam of fire towards the Chansey. Chansey was hit in its back and it was sent rolling forward before landing back on its feet and running again.

"It really is a Tank!" The Chansey looked like it just shrugged that Flamethrower off and kept running!

Afterward, it was hit with a Psybeam from Warren's Venomoth. Once it was hit, it bounced forward like a Big Pink Bouncy ball. The level difference was huge, but the Chansey was still ready to get up and run!

"What the heck!" Gan was slightly stunned. He knew it had high Special Defenses, but damn!

"This Pink Blob won't go down!" Warren said Grimly, he saw these things in Pokemon Centers all of the time. He never imaged that it was this tough of a Pokemon, was it because of its fat?

"Put it to sleep or use Stun spore on it or something!" Gan hurriedly and said.

There were rumors that the Pokemon in the location of Chansey would protect it because they recognized it as the Medic of the place, and because it had saved them on many occasions. Warren was aware of this rumor but Gan wasn't, so how could he let it get away and call for help?

Gan wanted to summon his Geodude but it was asleep currently.

"Give it up, Chansey, and come with me, hahaha!" Gan laughed and commanded his Koffing to use sludge on it. It didn't matter if it got poisoned, it could heal itself with Natural Cure once he caught it.

"C-chance!" Chansey uttered these words as it looked at the Sludge descending on it.

"Chance? That's something you don't have." Gan smiled happily and continued to have his Koffiing bombard it with attacks.

Gan tossed a Poke Ball at the Chansey, he really wanted to catch this Pokemon.

It shook left, then right, then left, then... Chansey broke free from the Poke Ball!

"You're still going against me? Koffing beat it up some more until it learns when to give up!" Gan looked at the Chansey with a smile.

Koffing showed no mercy and continued to attack the Chansey.

"Okay, it's enough." Gan saw that the Chansey was good and beat up at this point, so he tossed a Great Ball at it this time.

It was finally caught by Gan.

Gan sighed, he felt bad beating it up after seeing its helpless and sad expression.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of you." Gan picked the Great Ball up, then attached it to his waist belt.

Geodude's Premier Ball was also attached to his Belt. His Geodude had also leveled up when he caught Chansey.

There was a way in how this worked. Koffing's experiences would reverberate through the Poke Balls and into the Minds of his Pokemon. They would see Koffing's battle experiences in first or third person and learn from his fight and get experience from it.

Chansey gave a lot of Experience when being defeated. Geodude leveled up to 12 and was nearly at level 13.

Gan carried the other Pokemon in his Void Space and not on his belt, so they didn't receive any Exp. Koffing benefited and received a high amount of exp, but it didn't level up.

"Damn, that was a tough Pokemon, huh?" Warren was surprised at how tough Chansey was to take down. Gan was no different, he could only imagine how hard it would have been if it was a higher level and he had no Pokemon with any physical attacking moves that could take it down.

"Yeah, very tough. This type of Pokemon has a high Defense and Health stat, so it's hard to take down despite the experience(Level) difference." Gan said thoughtfully. Chansey was always an annoying Pokemon in competitive Pokemon play, especially with the Eviolite Stone.

"I think we should wait until night and see if the Clefairy will come out. Maybe they'll only be around at night time when the Moon was casting down." Gan remembered the short poem and came to this conclusion.

"Stick around in the cave at night, this is a little too much, isn't it?" Warren didn't like the idea of waiting around in a cave during the night, but Gan didn't blame him.

"Don't worry, you should also catch a Clefairy, it'll land you some good Merit Points if you turn it in." Gan grinned and gazed at Warren who suddenly grew silent. Warren knew how rare and how hard it was to catch a Clefairy, so they should land him a lot of Merit Points.

"Sigh, okay, but stop smiling like that, it's kinda creepy." Warren couldn't help but say.

Gan shrugged and took a seat on a rock in the corner of the cave and waited. Warren didn't know what more to say and walked over to sit next to Gan.

"Hmm, just a question, I noticed that you, well, have some mood swings every now than then." Warren coughed slightly and said.

"Mood Swings? What do you mean mood swings, are you saying I'm mentally disabled or something?" Gan's eyebrows knitted, this was the only thing he was getting from his words.

"Well, yeah, kinda, you were happy then sad, then happy again, I don't understand it." Warren spoke flatly, he thought Gan had a mental disability!

Gan frowned hearing this. "Being happy and disappointed at one point doesn't count as having a disability. I was only happy because I got a good Pokemon and sad because the Geodudes from before were rubbish."

"I guarantee you that I don't have such a disability." Gan shook his head.

"Oh, my bad. I wasn't trying to offend you, I was just being sure and asking. I have nothing against the mentally disabled, after all, my mom was mentally disabled before....." Warren stopped there and went silent for a while.

Gan looked over at Warren, he seemed to be thinking of something, but he could tell from his words that his mom was no more.

"Sorry about that." Gan said. He had his parent before transferring here, and he could expect to see them again no matter what but that was different for Warren.

"It's nothing man, it happens to the best of us. We just don't know where we'll end up in life, we may find ourselves doing something we never thought we'd do." Warren sighed emotionally.

"Why did you join Team Rocket, then?" Gan asked curiously.

"Opportunity, it was just me and I had nothing, so I joined during their recruitment sessions." Warren took his hat off and rubbed his eyebrows, as he was flustered a bit.

"I'm guessing you never found that Opportunity, huh?" Gan had already gauged this a while ago.

"I haven't." Warren tilted his head and rubbed his magenta hair before sitting back.

They talked for a while before Gan went to check on those Campers Kids from before. They were gone, they probably went to report that they had been robbed but Gan didn't care.

Zubat came into the cave through the open hole in the roof of the cave. Onix emerged from the ground and started slithering about with its rocky snake-like body. None of the Pokemon bothered with Gan and Warren due to the horrible smell of the Repels. They didn't smell bad to them, but to Pokemon it was horrible.

As they were looking at all of the events unfold, they heard a shout through the cave. The sound of what seemed to be a battle was taking place somewhere in here. Gan and Warren looked at each other with thrill and curiosity in their eyes, then they smiled at each other before walking off towards the sound.

The place they were going led to a different area in Mt. Moon. It took them 8 minutes to cross over to this area, but it was easier because all of the Pokemon stayed away from them. Some of them even looked at Gan and Warren with disgust, deeming them as smelly humans.

Gan didn't know what to feel having something that could be considered an animal looking at him like that. Pokemon were basically creatures or animals that could use powers and had high intelligence, well, at the very least could understand human speech.

Following this, they arrived at the scene and took cover to check in on the situation. There were two Beautiful women fighting 2 Clefairys!

One of the women had long blonde hair wearing a black skirt and shirt, and regular black gym shoes and knee socks. The other looked more like a tomboy with short hair, she wore shorts and a normal t-shirt, but her figure and face got him knowing that she was a woman.

The woman that seemed to be a Tomboy was using a Nidoran (F). The other woman, who was blonde was using a Jigglypuff.

Gan analyzed the Clefairys and saw that one of them had a 2-star Talent while the other had 1-star talent.

Gan rubbed his hands together with a grin on his face, he had to take these 2 Clefairy!
