I want to thank JeAnnSong for helping me write this chapter
Our heroes were now in walking on the trail when the saw the next town, Rishin Town
May then took a deep breath
May:(sigh) ahhh that smells great
Max: what smells great the air pollution, the garbage or the car exhaust
May:...
Jacob: well this just went south
Jaraja: agreed
May: Not that, Im talking about the wonderful scent of the big city
Jacob: I've seen bigger, though it has been awhile since the last time I went to a city, lets go check it out
Timeskip
The team was now in rishin town
Jacob: here we are guys, rishin town
May: like they say that You Can Take The Girl Out Of The City, But You Can't Take The City Out Of The Girl, now where should we start, hmm maybe a little window shopping fallow up with dinner at a nice restaurant and then let's see...
Jacob: well I wouldn't go that far may, but I guess we could use some supplies for our journey
Brock: alright let's check out the town map
May: I didn't know you had that, quick let's go
Max: you know I bet if we look really hard we could find some cool city type pokemon
Jacob: I'm down with that
Max: then I guess I'll go with you then
Jacob: fine by me
Sabrina: I'll come with you
Jacob: okay, well I guess we're go look for pokemon now, see ya
Jacob's group then left
Small timeskip
Jacob's group were now walking around looking for pokemon
Max: according to my research, city pokemon like to hide in alleyways so they won't be spotted
Jacob: interesting, you seem to know a lot about pokemon
Max: yeah, I spend a lot of time researching about them
Jacob: I see, well have you ever thought about catching one
Max: oh...I can't
Jacob: Why not?
Max: I don't really have any pokeballs and my parents think that I'm too young to have one
Jacob: what, that's ridiculous, your capable of having one
Max: I know, I tell people that, but they keep bringing up that fact that i'm too young
Jacob: ahh don't listen to those people max, they don't know any better
Max: I see, say how old were you when you got your first pokemon
Jacob: I was 5 millions years old
Max: 5 million! Wow you've been around for that long
Jacob: yep, and my first pokemon was bluey and he's been with be ever since
Max: I see, say jacob, do you really think you can help may with pokemon
Jacob: well I'll be honest with you max, It might be hard, but I'm still gonna do it,
Max: I see, say jacob, can you also help me catch pokemon
Jacob: sure max
Max: alright, thanks
Jacob: no problem
Just then jaraja came out
Jaraja: hey jacob, I've been hearing rumors about some haunted mansion in this town
Jacob: haunted mansion huh? It's probably just some ghost type playing tricks
Jaraja: maybe, whatever it is it caused a bunch of demolition workers to quit
Jacob: hmm interesting
Max: you think we should check it out
Jacob: maybe, we should probably wait for the others first and then we'll discuss it
Just then they heard something in an alleyway, they turned towards it as they saw a shroomish
Max: look it's a shroomish
Jacob: yeah, but what's it doing here, shroomishes aren't supposed to be in cities
Max: maybe this can be my first pokemon
Jacob: hold on there max, this shroomish doesn't look very happy
Max: oh yeah, maybe it's hungry
Jacob: it could be
Jacob then pulled out some berries and gave them to max
Jacob: here, try feeding it the berries
Max: okay
Max walked towards the shroomish and held the berries in front of it, the shroomish got suspicious as it let out a stun spore attack
Max: woah
Jacob pulled him back just in time
Jacob: you okay max
Max: yeah I'm fine
Jacob: hmm I think this shroomish is nervous, let me try
Jacob walked towards the shroomish
Jacob: hey little guy, don't worry we're not gonna hurt you, look this food is perfectly safe
Jacob then picked up one of the berries and ate it
Jacob: see, it's safe
The shroomish then slowly walked up and tried the berries, he then smiled as he ate them
Jacob: alright it worked, he was just nervous
Max: I see, but what's it doing here
Jacob: I don't know, but we probably shouldn't leave it here, we should probably hold on to it
Max: okay
Max then pulled out a handkerchief
Jacob: what are you doing with a handkerchief
Max: it's a present
Jacob: huh
Max then tied the handkerchief around shroomish
Max: there all done, you look great
Jacob: huh, not bad
Max: do you like it shroomish?
Shroomish jumped up and down in joy
Jacob: I guess he likes it
Max: yeah, and you and I are buddies right shroomish
Shroomish smiled as he nodded
Jacob: I guess he is, alright now, let's go find the others
Max then picked up shroomish as they began to look for the others
Timeskip
The group was walking around when they stumbled upon this abandoned mansion
The green lodge
Jacob; hey just this place out
Max: the garden is as big as a whole forest
Jaraja: I think this is the mansion people were talking about, I think they called it the green lodge
They then noticed that shroomish was staring intently at it.
Max: huh, what's the matter shroomish
Jacob: something tells me that it has something to do with this mansion
Suddenly shroomish jumped off of max and ran towards
Max: huh, where are you going shroomish
Jacob: let's follow it, maybe we find out why it's upset
Max: okay
The group began to follow it
Small Timeskip
The shroomish lead the group into a broken window which shroomish immediately went into the mansion
Jacob: he went into the mansion
May: hey guys
Jacob's group turned around and saw the others
Jacob: guys, what are you doing here, I thought you were out buying stuff?
May: we were but then we heard about this haunted mansion we decided to check it out
Brock: more like you wanted to check it out
???: hey you guys
The team turned and saw this guy
Alex
Alex: no one is supposed to be here, didn't you see the signs, they're cutting down all of the trees in this garden so it's much too dangerous for anyone to be here
Jacob: I see, sorry, we didn't mean to cause trouble
Max: it's just that a shroomish we found ran in here and we followed it
Alex: Did you say shroomish?
Jacob: Yeah, why?
Alex: sorry but that's impossible
Jacob: uhh no it's not it was a shroomish for sure
Max: we even fed its
Alex: but that makes no sense, there hasn't been a shroomish in this town in ages
May: well that's pretty weird
Jacob: agree
Brock: you mean there used to be shroomish here
Alex: yep, when I was a little kid, there were a lot of them around of town, I used to love shroomish, you see this mansion here belonged to my grandfather and when I was little, I used to come here often and play with the shroomish all day long, but as the town got bigger and bigger, the forest slowly disappeared, eventually my grandfather passed away and soon after that, all of the shroomish disappeared too, the town council decided that the mansion should be destroyed in order to make room for more buildings but once the demolition began, these strange incidents started to occur, I just came by today to check things out
Brock: that's quite a story
May: when you say strange things do you mean ghost, ghouls, scary footprints and things like that
Jacob: Why do you make it sound like it's a good thing?
Alex: well those are only rumors, anyway are boys sure that saw a shroomish going inside the mansion
Jacob: yep
Alex; well if that's the case then I'll just have to go inside and find out
Jacob: we'll go with you as well
Small timeskip
Our heroes and Alex were now inside the mansion
May: oh wow, this is so exciting
Jaraja:(sarcastically) oh yeah, being inside a haunted mansion that will soon be destroyed is just great
Max: hey shroomish, come out shroomish
Jacob: shroomish, where are you?
Alex: no sign of it in this part of the house, I guess we'll just have to look further inside
Jacob: huh
Jacob then noticed that brock as nervously shaking
Jacob: Brock, are you okay?
Brock:(scared) oh yeah, I'm just not a big fan of haunted mansion, or anything haunted at all
Jacob: calm down brock, they're just rumors, i'm sure it's nothing
Jacob then opened a door that lead to another room, they then saw shroomish shivering by an old fireplace
Jacob: there he is
Max: shroomish we found you
Alex: you were right, there is a shroomish
Jacob and max then noticed something about shroomish
Jacob: Hey, why is Shroomish shaking?
Max: what's wrong shroomish
Just then two more appeared
Jacob: what the...where did those two come from?
Max: you think there's more
Jacob: there might be
Brock: you know, shroomish are supposed to live in the forest right
Alex: yes but as more and more of the forest was cut down I guess they took refuge here
May: but now the mansion is gonna be torn down too, where will they go?
Jacob: I guess that's why their scared, they're about to lose their home
Alex then turned and saw and saw something
Alex: well look at that?
The team turned and saw a picture of Alex and his grandfather
Max: Hey is that you with your grandfather when you were little?
Alex: yes it is
Jacob: wow, it looks like you and shroomish had a close bond
Alex: indeed we did
Just then, they began to heard a bunch of footsteps
Jacob: uhh do you guess hear that
Suddenly they saw a massive herd of shroomishes coming towards them
Jacob: holy crap, that's a lot of shroomishes
The shroomishes began to launch a massive stun spore cloud
Jacob: it's stun spore, quick everyone out!
They all began to run out, as they were leaving, max and Alex tripped
Jacob: guys!
Jacob ran towards them
May: Jacob, what are you doing?
Jacob: don't worry about me, just go, I'll get the others
May listened as she ran outside and closed the door
Brock: May, where's Jacob, Max and alex?
May: they're still inside, Jacob told me to go ahead
The team: WHAT!
Inside the mansion
The mansion was now filled with stun spore
Jacob: I gotta get rid of the stun spore, whirlwind
Jacob summoned his wings as he began to flap them which created a strong gust that got rid of the stun spore, he then saw max and alex laying on the ground paralyzed
Jacob: guys!
Jacob ran towards them as he began to cure them from the stun spore, once he cured them they slowly got back up
Jacob: Guys, are you okay?
Max: yeah, we're fine
Alex: Where are the others?
Jacob: they're outside, it's just the three of us inside here
Just then the shroomishes surrounded them
Jacob: nevermind
Alex: I can't believe how many shroomish are in here
Jacob and max then noticed that most of the shroomish were groaning as if they were in pain
Jacob: Wait a minute, uhh hello there fellow shroomish, are you guys okay?
Shroomish: no, we're not
Jacob: why
Shroomish: cause we're gonna lose our home
Jacob: I see, say do you guy remember him
Jacob pointed at alex
Shroomish: I remember him, we use to hang out with him and his grandfather '
Jacob: I see, alex, they remember you
Alex: They do?
Jacob: Yes, so why were you guys trying to attack us?
Shroomish: we thought you were those workers who are trying to destroy our home, we didn't know
Jacob: I see, but it looks like you got something else on your mind
Shroomish: I do, we all do, we missed him
Jacob: alex?
Shroomish: yeah, ever since his grandfather passed away he stopped visiting us, we stayed here and hope that he would returned and hang out with us like old times, once we heard about how they were gonna demolish this mansion, we did everything we can to prevent it from happening
Jacob: so you guys are the reason why workers have quit
Shroomish: yes, we never meant to harm anyone, we just didn't want to lose our home, we already thought we lost alex, if we lose this home then we'll have nothing, we just want to be with alex again
Jacob: I see
Max: what are they saying jacob
Jacob: they're saying that they miss you alex, they've been waiting here all this time in hope that you would return and that you would hang out with them again
Alex: I would like that too
Alex then walked up to the shroomish
Alex; I'm sorry that I stop visiting you guys, I thought that you left or something, if I knew that you were still here, I would have come back and stayed with you, I hope you guys can forgive me
The shroomish looked at each other and then smiled
Shroomish: we forgive you alex, as long as we can be together once again
Jacob: alex, they said that they forgive you
Alex: thank you guys, but unfortunately this mansion will still have to go, I know that you guys love this place, but it's too old and dangerous to live in
The shroomish then became said
Jacob: say, maybe you can build a home for them
Alex; what do you mean?
Jacob: Well this place was once a forest right?
Alex: yeah
Jacob: well maybe we can bring it back, we get rid of the mansion and then replant the entire area with trees so it will be like the forest they once had
The shroomish liked that idea
Shroomish: I like that idea
Shroomish 2: agree
Shroomish 3: I go with the forest as well
Jacob: they all seem to like it alex
Alex: You really think it will work?
Jacob: of course, these guys need a home and I can't sit around while these guys lose their only home, so what do you say
Alex: well, if the shroomish like the idea, then so do I
All of the shroomishes cheered
Shroomish: thank you
Timeskip
The boys and all of the shroomishes were outside of the mansion
Jacob: alright guys, time to build your new home, first we get rid of the old one, frenzy plant
The attack was able to destroy the entire mansion
Jacob: now we plant your new one, watch this
Jacob body began to glow light green as he placed his hands on the ground
Jacob: overgrowth!
Jacob then sent the energy to the ground as a bunch of trees began to come out of the ground, after a few minutes, the entire area became filled with trees
Jacob: there you go, welcome to your new home
All of the shroomish cheered
Alex: I don't believe it, thank you so much
Jacob: no problem pal
Just then, the shroomish that befriend max went up to him
Jacob: hey max, I think shroomish wants to join you
Max: really, you want to join me shroomish
Shroomish nodded
Max: well as much as I want you to, I don't have a pokeball to catch to with
Jacob: you do now
Max: huh?
Jacob pulled out a regular pokeball and handed it to max
Jacob: here you go max, enjoy your very first pokemon
Max: really! Thanks!
Max the threw the pokeball and successfully caught shroomish
Max: alright I caught my very first pokemon, thank you jacob
Jacob: no problem max, well we best be heading off now, nice seeing you alex
Alex: same here, thanks for helping me
Jacob and his team waved goodbye as the went off to continue their journey
