Arc Of Embodiment - Chapter 84

When Ash saw that Pikachu fainted from Vivian’s attack, he rushed to his side to check his condition. After inspecting Pikachu and find out that he was alright, Ash was relieved.

“Pikachu, you’re alright,” Ash said.

“Pika-pi,” Pikachu said weakly.

“You’ll be okay. I just need to bring you to a Pokémon centre and ask nurse Joy to bring you back to full health,” Ash said while picking up Pikachu.

“You don’t have to heads into the Pokémon centre. Vivian can heal Pikachu for you,” Jaune said.

“Sylveon?” Vivian said.

“Yeah. I taught you how to do it earlier, remember,” Jaune said.

“Sylveon!” Vivian said. Remembering that Jaune taught her how to use Fairy magic. Healing is one of its abilities.

Vivian then used her magic to heal Pikachu. While Vivian was healing Pikachu, Jaune was looking at the reaction of Ash and Misty, then he smiled. From the looks of it, magic seemed no different from Pokémon moves. That means that Vivian can safely use magic with no one the wiser. Moments later, Vivian finished healing Pikachu.

“Pika-pi!” Pikachu said. Giving his thanks to Vivian.

“Sylveon!” Vivian replied. Accepting his thanks humbly.

“You’re Pokémon is amazing! What was that move called?” Misty said.

“It’s called Healing Song,” Jaune replied. The reason he named it that is because when Vivian uses it, she makes a singing voice.

“That’s a very powerful move when used in a team battle,” Misty said.

“So, where are you guys heading?” Jaune asked.

“We’re heading towards Pewter City to challenge my first ever Pokémon badge,” Ash said.

“That’s cool. I’m doing the same,” Jaune said.

“Awesome! Do you mind if we tag along? It’s better to travel with more people. It’s safer too,” Ash said.

“Sure, no problem,” Jaune said.

The group of people then headed to Pewter City. While walking, Jaune realised that Misty was acting weird. Thinking back in the show, Jaune remembered that Misty hates Bug Type Pokémon. That’s why she was acting strange. Ash had Caterpie on his head.

After a few hours of walking, it started getting dark. Jaune decided to set up the house and invite Ash and Misty. The two were amazed at how Jaune could bring out a house from such a small capsule. Jaune was confused at their amazement.

‘What the hell?! Doesn’t a Pokéball have something like a world inside it to cater for the Pokémon captured in it? How are they amazed at my DynoCaps? It’s a less advanced version of a Pokéball,’ Jaune thought.

The next morning. Jaune and the others continued walking to Pewter City. It was then that Jaune encountered his very first Team Rocket moment.

“Jessie!” Jessie introduced herself.

“James!” James introduced himself.

“Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!” Jessie said.

“Surrender now or prepare to fight!” Jame said.

“Meowth! That’s right!” Meowth said.

Terra and Saphron looked at Jaune after Team Rocket’s introduction.

“Are they the people you were talking about? If they are, I get why you didn’t want to name Vivian Jessie,” Terra said.

“That’s them. They’re kind of funny, aren’t they?” Jaune said.

Ash and Misty were looking at Team Rocket. Ash didn’t want to deal with them again. As for Misty, this was the first time that she was dealing with the three.

“Quiet little boy! We’re not here to listen to you. We aren’t even here for you. We are here for that White and Blue Pokémon that kicked the buŧŧ of your Pikachu,” Jessie said.

“Sylveon?” Vivian said.

“Now. Hand for that…Hey, Jessie? What kind of Pokémon is that exactly?” James asked.

“I don’t know. I’ve never seen anything like it before. Maybe it’s a new type?” Jessie said.

“Well, whatever. Just hand over that Pokémon!” James said.

“Ha-ha-ha-ha! You want Vivian? Why don’t you try and get her yourself?” Jaune said.

“We’ll just do that then,” Jessie said.

But before they could even move towards Vivian, they felt that something in their feet was holding them down. They looked at it and saw that tree roots were holding them in place. They tried to move, but it was clamping down, hard. Not long after, the branches of the trees grabbed them and then tossed them into the air.

“Team Rocket’s blasting off!” Jessie, James and Meowth shouted.

“Stupid. Idiotic. Dumb. Moronic. Take your pick,” Jaune said.

“All of them,” Terra said.

The group continued walking to Pewter City after the fiasco with Team Rocket. An hour later, they finally reached the end of the Viridian Forest. As they walked out, they were visited by the stunning city of Pewter. It had a lot of trees and buildings.

“We’ve finally arrived in Pewter City!” Misty shouted.

“I thought we’d be stuck in Viridian Forest forever!” Ash complained.

Jaune ignored Ash and looked at the huge city, as it’s his first time seeing a huge city in the Pokémon World. The only places he has been so far having been Pallet Town and Viridian City. None of which can compare to Pewter City.

“Whoa! This place is huge! I’d say that it’s bigger than Argus!” Terra said.

“If you’re amazed by this, then you’ll surely be amazed at the size of Vale. Pewter City is only about a third of Vale,” Jaune said.

“Seriously!” Terra said. She has never gone to such a big city as Pewter City, and to find out that Vale was three times bigger was mind-blowing for her.

While Jaune was sitting on the bench with Adrian, Terra and Saphron were acting like a tourist. Well, they are a tourist. They were taking pictures of the places, but the two ladies weren’t satisfied. They wanted Jaune and Adrian in the photo with them.. Jaune complied as it was a good record of their memories.
