Pokemon Trainer of the Strawhats

Travel Across the Desert pt 2

Traveling through a desert is not an easy thing to do, unless you have dragons that have adapted to the elements.

Yukiko's Pokemon helped them get into a good distance within half the time, and they had just stopped to rest and eat in a nice shaded area.

"Wow! I cant believe that we made it this far already!" Usopp said now stretching after hanging onto a fast dragon.

Yukiko then let out Kiryu as she fed her Pokémon and the others prepped for lunch.

"Yukiko! Could we have some of your special bento?" Luffy asked.

"Need you ask?" Yukiko said as she took out the bento. As everyone was eating, Luffy noticed his bento was a little different. It had a rice omelet in the shape of his strawhat, pokeball rice balls, and some Jigglypuff Flan.

He smiled to himself as he ate it carefully to savor the taste.

Then he saw the rest of his crew minus Ace looking at him with surprised faces.

"What?" Luffy asked only for everyone else to shake their heads and return to their bento.

'He's not stuffing his face as usual....'

'Is it because Yukiko made it?'

'He's actually savoring his food! Yukiko must be a godsend.....'

'You ARE serious about her little brother.....'

Although suddenly a Sandora Lizard appeared to attack.

But Kiryu intercepted with a strong Draco Meteor, knocking it out.

And to the surprise of the Crew she evolved into Gabite!

"Holy-! What happened to her?!" Ace asked.

"Kiryu evolved! Great job girl!" Yukiko said as the other Pokemon congratulated her.

Cue Sparks.

"Gabite the Cave Pokémon
And the evolved form of Gible.
This Pokémon emits ultrasonic waves from a protrusion on either side of its head to probe pitch-dark caves. Jewels are buried in the caves these Pokémon nest in, but you’ll be torn apart by claws and fangs the moment you enter one of these caves.
There is a long-held belief that medicine made from its shed scales will heal incurable illnesses."

"Whoa! It's Scales can be used for medicine?!" Chopper asked amazed.

"What did Sparks mean by evolved?" Zoro asked.

"It's a process of which a Pokémon becomes a new species and changes. Evolution is not a merely visual change. When a Pokémon evolves, it becomes a new species of Pokémon. This new species has a different Pokédex number and base stats, and may be a different type (although normally at least one of the pre-evolved form's types remains the same), learn different moves, and have a different Ability. Currently, over 80% of all known Pokémon are connected to at least one other through evolution. Pokémon evolutionary families have anywhere between one and three stages. In a one-stage family, there is only a single Pokémon that cannot evolve. In a two-stage family, any member of the family can evolve only once, from the unevolved form into one of the evolved forms. In a three-stage family, like Kiryu, at least one of the evolved forms can evolve once again.

There are also branched evolution Pokémon. A branched evolution family has a member that can evolve into one of several different Pokémon. Eevee is the most extreme example, having eight different possible evolved forms.

There are also different methods of evolution. There is the standard training that is acquired through battle, coming into contact with an Evolution Stone, being traded, Having high friendship, Holding a specific item, The time of day or night, Knowing a certain move or a move of a certain type, The location the trainer and Pokémon is in, or the current weather in that location.
