The Secret Life of Pokémon episode 2

A spy camera on my hat

I worked on a fixed camera on my hat and a remote screen with the help from my trusty Magneton. He helped me do the soldering while I put the parts on.

It was a success and I made great use of it whenever I go out.

But one fine morning, there was one mistake I made.

I woke up at 8 in the morning, brushed my teeth, had a nice waffle and orange juice, gave all my Pokemon enough poketreats and left the house. The mistake I made was I left the remote screen in the house.

Magneton: Oh no! The boy left the screen in the house! I've got to find him!

He went for the door.

Magenton: It's locked.

He tried the windows.

Magneton: It's barely open.

Magneton always worries about any mistakes I make.

Wigglytuff: Calm down now, there's no need to worry- What's this?

Magneton: I-I-It's-s m-my new...uh...d-device! I gue-

The screen fell off the window frame and bounced off the floor. It triggered the on switch and the screen turned on.

Wigglytuff: Oh! That looks like lots of tall grass! Is that the boy going out?

Magneton: Uh...yes.

Marill: Hi Wiggly! What's that?

Wigglytuff: It's a screen showing where the boy must be going!

Marill: Wow! I've got to love how much effort he took in making this.

Marill: Clefairy! Look!

Clefairy leapt from the window frame, did a somersault and landed toes on the floor.

Clefairy: Tada!

Clefairy: What is this place?

Marill: It's the boy going into the wild!

Through the tall grass I crept through, a wild Spinarak landed on my hat.

Marill and Clefairy: AAAAAAH!!

Pikachu: What's with the noise? I'm trying to sleep here.

I took the hat off and flicked the poor bug away.

Pikachu ran to where the sound came from and looked at the screen.

Pikachu: Should we all look away now? The forests are scary.

Marill: No way we would do that. I want to see where the boy's going!

Marill: It looks like a house! I think he's coming home!

Wigglytuff: I don't think his house looks like this. His house is blue and this one's red.

I rang the doorbell and the door was open. There was my sister and her Psyduck. I came in and we had tea and cake together. Machamp and Gengar are playing checkers, Psyduck hopped onto my Pidgeot and he and Dragonite flew across the blue sky.

When they land back down, Psyduck was all dizzy and fell face first on a flower bed where Sprigatito's just taking a little nap.

Politoed hopped on the back of Lapras.

I was just about to grab the last slice of cake, but Snorlax took it away before my hand touches it.

And so after tea, we decided to battle. Instead of keeping Pokemon in for the whole match, one round has one of our Pokemon in that round.

The first Pokemon I took out was Pidgeot.

Pikachu: It's Pidgeot! Hi Pidgeot!

Marill: He can't hear you.

My sister took out Dragonite.

They lifted off into the sky and through clouds they fought, we can't see them from above.

Psyduck looked up and sees both my Pidgeot and her Dragonite fighting in the sky.

All the other Pokemon in my house saw a good glimpse of the screen and went to join in watching them.

Pichu: What's that? It looks like a battle! Come on, Togepi! This will be exciting!

Dragonite gave one last Hyper Beam and Pidgeot plummeted down onto the floor.

Pidgeot got up and before Dragonite used an Earthquake on him, he swept some dust onto Dragonite's eyes and Dragonite fell onto his belly.

He got up and swept the dust away, and Pidgeot sets off a twister circling around Dragonite. He ran away from the twister and gave Pidgeot one last headbutt.

Onto our next two. I took out Bellossom and my sister got out her Ditto.

Marill: Look! Is that Bellossom down there?

Clefairy: No, more like two of them.

The moves that Ditto did are the same as what my Bellossom does.

One last solar beam and both are on the ground.

My sister brought out Gengar and I brought out Lapras.

Pikachu: It's Lapras!

Marill: Yeah! Go Lapras!

Gengar is really untouchable. He's avoiding almost every attack. Lapras, though, his movement is really smooth sailing and would easily avoid the attacks that Gengar throws.

Lapras used a Hydro Pump and Gengar keeps disappearing and reappearing, until he runs out of breath and can't evade, and he was hit by the powerful jet of water.

Pikachu: Oh yeah! A win for us!

Then for the next part, I got out Ampharos to do the work and my sister went with Snorlax.

Ampharos uses a handful of Thunder on Snorlax but it doesn't really do much.

When Ampharos grew tired, Snorlax rolled in front of him and Ampharos is now flat as a pancake.

So my sister brought out Lucario, and I got Machamp out.

Here comes the most exciting part of all. There were lots of times Lucario evaded Machamp's attacks and whacked him from behind.

My Pokemon watching at home: Whoa...

There were times Machamp picked up Lucario by under his shoulders and slammed him down.

My Pokemon watching at home again: Ooh...

Lucario hits Machamp with a Steel Beam.

Machamp prepared a barrage of punches and Lucario might have lost a tooth.

It was down to our last two. My sister has Frogadier in her hand and I have Braixen in mine.

We let them out and Frogadier started with some normal moves. That didn't do much to Braixen so she also went for some normal moves.

Pikachu: I've taught Braixen how to use that thunder punch lately. Why hasn't she tried it yet?

Both are down to the red on the stamina bar. Frogadier's preparing a water gun in his potential, so Braixen has to hurry up finish him before he sets off the water gun.

Braixen use the Thunder Punch Pikachu taught her and it's over.

We shook hands, went to the nearest Pokemon Center and we both had gone back to our homes.

Wigglytuff: The boy's coming back! Everyone! To the door!

I opened the door and all my Pokemon at home are all waiting for me.

Magneton came up to me with the screen.

Magneton: You forgot the screen!

I don't need it when I go out anymore. Now it's for you to see all the Pokemon battles I did.

But anyway, who wants a bean?

Hi there, professor! Could we have some backstory on your team, please? Who did you get first?

Of course! Here's a picture of my closest team-- the descriptions will get a bit long, so I'll put it under a read more for yall. :)

Oh, and to answer your last question, the Pidove was my first-- his name is Scruff, and he's also our park's mascot!

As you can kind of see in this picture, Scruff is missing one of his toes. He was actually adopted by my parents when I was a teenager, after being attacked by a local Purrloin (reminder: never let your Pokemon roam unattended). Being involved with his rehabilitation process is how I found this field in the first place, so I have him to thank for a lot in my life! Even once he had healed up enough to go out on his own again, Scruff never left; eventually, when it was time for me to leave home and go to the academy, he stowed away with me and hasn't left my side since!

Scruff has really grown into his role as our lead outreach Pokemon. When he isn't on my shoulder, he's helping other staff with educational talks, hanging out in our visitor center begging for treats, or keeping an eye on the other Pokemon in the park! He's really a pampered little guy, and loves all the attention he gets.

Coronet, the Electivire, was one of the first residents of Entralink park; she was first attracted by the construction, and has stuck around since then. When she arrived, she was such an anxious little thing-- she'd constantly overproduce electricity and was doing some damage to herself that way. Another professor was kind enough to send us a small batch of miniature Joltik to nestle in her fur and absorb any excess electricity; this doesn't hurt her at all, they're too small, but they help her manage her anxiety. The Joltik helped her calm down a lot, but she was still pretty restless, so we found her a job: she produces all of the power for the park! Compared to her maximum output, even with her Joltik friends, the task is relatively trivial for her, but she enjoys the responsibility. We named her after the mountain in Sinnoh-- I've never been, but I've heard it has some really interesting properties!

Our Pansage, Charles was a rescue. You wouldn't know it now, but her original trainer was horribly neglectful and her head bush was almost entirely wilted when we found her. I was not (and am still not, really) an expert in grass-types, but with a lot of research and help from other professors she really bounced back! During her recovery process she really took a shine to the park-- the wide variety of Pokemon we stable are beyond what she'd ever seen, and she immediately fit in perfectly making friends with just about everyone. She also leaves us trimmings from her bush from time to time to help in the medical facilities!

The Audino was the first Pokemon we brought to the park for a purpose. We knew we'd need a Pokemon to help with the on-site medical facility, and there are serveral breeders in the region that breed Audino for just this purpose! After hatching a brood, the breeder and I worked very closely with the hatchlings to see which would be best suited for our facilities. He taught me a lot that really got me started in training work Pokemon, and I still use a lot of his methods to this day! Once we had our best candidate, we put out a poll to our visitors to name him... and he ended up with the name Burger, haha. That's what we get for putting a custom entry field in! Burger's been a beloved member of our crew ever since, and has even helped us train other medical Pokemon!

King, the Politoed, was part of my first work Pokemon breeding program. I was breeding rescue Poliwrath-- though the more intensive training would take place at a more specialized facility, creating suitable breeding lines and determining aptitude fell to my facilities. Though the program did produce many Poliwrath that went on to become lifeguards, for example, just as many Pokemon ended up following other paths! Such is the way of my work, I suppose. One of those "flunked" students was King, who, even as a Poliwag, was always taking the lead in group exercises, ending up at the center of attention, and trying to help anyone who was falling behind. When the time came to evolve into a Poliwrath he refused; after presenting him with a King's Rock, it was clear what he really wanted to do! All of the other Pokemon from his program ended up in caring homes, but he ended up staying with us, helping handle the stabled and rescued Pokemon at the park!

Finally, most recently, there's our newest team member. With the park expanding, and my scrawny butt not being much help with any of the construction or maintenence, let alone the heavier cleaning tasks, we decided to take in a work-Scolipede trained by a dear friend of mine. We actually haven't settled on a name for her yet, nothing has quite fit so far! I'm a little wary of opening a poll to the public after the Burger incident, but maybe some of you visitors have suggestions? Feel free to let me know any names you think of for her! She's a real powermudsdale, and though she looks stern she's warmed up to the park's resident very quickly, and we hope she decides to stick around for quite some time! :)

All six of these guys stay with me in my personal residence on-site-- we have other Pokemon that come and go, but these are, for now, our permanent residents.
