It had been a few days since Mumble, Solembum and Pigwidgeon had become best friends and formed their team, "The Three Poke-teers", and since then things had been moving fast! They even had made two new friends Daisy, a mistakenly nicknamed, male Psyduck. And Orik, a tougher than tough Geodude. Even though Solembum, Pigwidgeon and Mumble were still the closest, they had all become something of a small family. Hugo mostly left the Poke-teers take care of themselves lately, while going with Daisy and Orik to help them along.
The next thrilling chapter in Hugo and his Pokemon's story starts in the Pokemon Center in Oreburgh City.
"Well everybody," Hugo said as he finished his lunch, "We have a few days more to train here in the city, Roark is in the mines and said he'll be in there for another three days. Poke-teers, I'm counting on you to get yourselves ad ready as possible, Daisy and Orik, I'm gonna go with you back to route 203 to get you guys ready. OK?
"OK!" they all said excitedly
"Mumble, I'm gonna give you, Solembum and Pigwidgeon each a super potion." Hugo said as he handed the spray bottles to each of them in turn, "If anything happens and you end up using your potions, and you get hurt again I want you three to get to the Pokemon Center and wait for me there."
With that Hugo, Orik and Daisy left the Pokemon Center and started toward 203.
"Well Guys," Mumble asked finishing up his own lunch "Where do you wanna train?"
"I was thinkin' that we should head over to route 207," Pigwidgeon said excitedly "It has plenty of rock Pokemon for you, some fighting Pokemon for me and Solembum. What do you guys think?
"I like it," agreed Mumble. "What do you think Solembum?"
"It sounds good to me!" Solembum as she finished her lunch
With that, the trio left the Pokemon Center and went to route 207
*On 203 things are progressing fast for Hugo, Orik and Daisy.*
"Good job you guys!" Hugo said hugging Daisy and Orik tightly, "I'm so proud of both you."
"Thanks Hugo." they both said.
" I really think that you'll be ready to fight Roark when the time comes."
"Really?" Orik asked, "You actually believe in us THAT much?
"Of course I do!" Hugo said tenderly, "You guys are gonna do great!"
*Back on route 207*
The Poke-teers have been battling nonstop for the past day and they have grown powerful, it wouldn't be long before the power they've gained couldn't be held by their smaller bodies.
"MAN!" Pigwidgeon said loudly as he flew threw the sky letting off the pent up excitement from their most recent battle," THAT WAS AWESOME! I FEEL UNSTOPPABLE!" he pulled a big loop-the-loop before landing fantastically next to Solembum and Mumble
"Totally!" Solembum said, "I'm sooo excited! I can't believe that I finally learned Spark!" as she said it, sparks traveled down her fur.
Mumble stood quietly, the gym battle was going to be here before they knew it and he was feeling ready but....something, something was bugging him. Something had happened to Hugo, but he didn't know what.
"Guys," Mumble said quietly," I have a bad feeling that something happened to Hugo...."
The other two quickly stopped talking at looked at him seriously.
Solembum looked at Mumble without blinking, "You've been feeling that too? I though it was only me..."
"You two aren't alone," Pigwidgeon said, looking to the West where Hugo and the others were. "I've been feeling that for the past day."
What the trio didn't know was that they had all gotten more than they thought they had in their last battle
SUDDENLY Solembum started to glow bright white!
"Solembum!" Pigwidgeon said and he jumped forward to help but in mid-jump he started glowing too!
"OH no! Pigwidg-!"
And Mumble started to glow too! And in that exact moment all three heard a distant voice
"HEELLLLP!"
it was Hugo!
And carrying his companions in his talons the Staravia that was now Pigwidgeon flew the newly evolved Solembum and Mumble towards route 203!
*****
Hugo, Orik and Daisy were backed into a corner by a Cubone! the Cubone had a strange bone in its hand, the end was elongated with a sharp blade. it was using the arm bone of a Kabutops!!!
"Pigwidgeon, Mumble, Solembum! You guys evolved! But how could you hear me calling for help?!?"
"RUN NOW!" Mumble shouted as he jumped down from Pigwidgeon in midflight and let loose a Bubble attack at the Cubone.
The Cubone was expecting it and swung it's scythe bone at the bubble stream and popped them all. Mumble flipped over the Cubone and tried a metal claw! but the Cubone caught his claws on the bone! From above Pigwidgeon came diving and went for a wing attack but was knocked aside by the Cubone. Then it was Solembum's turn. She went for a tremendous Spark attack! but it too was absorbed by the scythe. Pigwidgeon tried one last wing attack but the Cubone took his scythe and hit Pigwidgeon with a critical hit to the wing.
"You'll pay for that!" Mumble growled, "Solembum together!"
With that Mumble used Metal Claw again, and was blocked by Cubone's scythe, but Solembum came from the side and was running towards the cubone. The Cubone charged up his Iron Tail which was his most powerful move.
That was exactly what Mumble wanted him to do. "NOW SOLEMBUM, SPARK!"
Fear shone in the Cubone's eyes as the lightning raced toward him. It hit his tail and arced up to his skull helmet.
"Cuuuubonnne......" and it fainted.
****
At the Pokemon Center in Oreburgh. Nurse Joy comes out to Hugo and the others to tell them about Daisy's condition, Daisy had tried to fight the Cubone on his own but he never stood a chance.
"I'm sorry," she said sadly "But your Psyduck is in Critical Condition. He's being kept asleep to save him the pain."
At that moment, the doors to the Center Slid open.
"Hugo! I'm back from the mines and I'm ready for our battle!"
Hugo turned around angrily to tell Roark to go to hell! but Orik Stopped him.
"It's OK Hugo, go battle Roark. I'll stay and look after Daisy."
"Thank you Orik. Come to the Gym if anything changes." then Hugo turned to Roark. "Lets go!"
At the Gym it took Hugo less than 20 minutes to beat Roark's Lackey trainers. Than came the true battle.
"Go Mumble."
It was Mumble vs Roark's Geodude. It was a simple battle. Mumble used Bubble and it fainted.
Then came his Onix. Again it was a simple bout. 1-2-3
Next. Hugo knew was his only real challenge here. Cranidos didn't go down easily. it got a critical on Mumble and Hugo had to call him back to keep him safe.
"Your in charge Solembum!"
"SPARK!"
And it worked! Cranidos was Paralyzed, Hugo Knew he had maybe a turn before it's ability "Mold breaker" cured it's status.
"USE SPARK AGAIN!"
It hit! And it got a critical! Cranidos fell to the ground!
"This is embarrassing... I went and lost to a Trainer who didn't have a single Gym Badge... But that's tough. You were strong and I was weak. That's all there is. According to Pokémon League rules, I have to give you our Gym Badge since you've beaten me, the Leader. Here's your official Pokémon League Coal Badge."
"Thanks...." Hugo took the badge, and the TM, and walked out of the gym.
"Hugo!" Orik shouted,"It's Daisy! He ran from the Pokemon Center to try and find the Cubone. We have to find him!"
Everyone started running towards the cave that connected Oreburgh with route 203. Only to find Daisy, on the ground, outside of the cave entrance.
Hugo fell to his knees and picked up Daisy, tears streaming in his eyes.
"Daisy?..."
Daisy's eyes fluttered open, "Hugo, I'm sorry....I....was...too weak." With that, Daisy's eyes close. And his eternal headache finally ended. His arms fell to his sides.
"Oh Arceus..." Hugo stood up and got out Daisy's Pokeball. "Daisy...return! Return Daisy! RETURN!!!"
Mumble put his wing on Hugo's leg, tears tumbling down his own face. "He's not going to return Hugo....I'm sorry.
Hugo broke down and picked up Daisy. He sobbed into his dead Pokemon's stomach still begging him to return....
"Hey! HEY HUGO! ARE YOU AWAKE??!!? I'M HERE TO SEE HOW WELL YOU'VE RAISED YOUR POKEMON."
Hugo, lifted his tear stained face to look into his old friends excited face. And vowed that Barry would never. EVER beat him........
