Chapter 10: The J Names

Jake was at the Cerulean City Pokemon Center, resting after the tough climb over Mount Moon. While at Mount Moon, he came across a damaged chamber, and rescued a poor, trapped Clefairy. Showing gratitude for taking it to the Mt. Moon Pokemon Center, the Clefairy allowed Jake to capture it. He also captured a Paras while exploring the caves. Sitting in the lounge, Jake released Kakuna out of its Pokeball. “All right Kakuna, are you ready?” asked Jake.
“Kooooo-na!” answered an eager Kakuna.
“Here we go!” Jake took out a Blue Candy-shaped item, and Kakuna started to evolve. After glowing and shining for some time, Kakuna’s evolution had completed, and it was now a Beedrill!
“All right!” Jake said with pure excitement. “You’re now fully evolved!”
“Bzzzz-drill!” said Beedrill.

Jake decided to check out the sights. It was the time of year for Spring Break, so a lot of tourists roamed the streets. The beach was crowded with young adults and the roads were covered in cigarette butts and ashes, traffic was also pretty bad.
“Heeey! Jake!” said a voice in the near distance. It was Adam, and he was accompanied by two other trainers.
“Hi Adam, what’s up?” asked Jake.
“My Charmander just evolved a few days ago, and other stuff. I’d like you to meet Andy, and my good friend Jason.”
“Hi Andy & Jason. Are you guys trainers too?” asked Jake.
“Yeah, I just started a week ago with my baby Squirtle.” Answered Andy. “I’ve already captured a lot of cool Pokemon too!”
“Yeah, I’m a trainer.” Jason hastily answered.
“By the way Jake.” Said Adam. “What become of that Pikachu? Did you fix its attacks?”
“Oh, yes I did!” Jake answered releasing a Pokeball containing said Pikachu.
“Wow, oh my goodness!” said Andy with a fixated stare. Pikablu was shining and very healthy and happy.
“Wow, so it is true.” Said Jason, Jake and Adam looked to him. “You CAN mutate Pokemon. That’s good to know.”
“What do you mean “mutate”?” asked Jake. “Pikablu was suffering from depression. It was blessed more than anything.”
“Whatever, I’m sorry.” Said Jason. “I’m just saying it’s good to see some evidence, that’s all.”
“Rii-ght.” Said Adam. “Well, we gotta go now. We got tickets to the SS Anne. Are you going Jake?”
“I don’t think so. That ride is really expensive, and where does it even go?”
“Well, whatever floats your boat!” snarked Adam, and the three walked off.

Jake walked further up the Cerulean Strip, and noticed a strange ruckus happening at Cerulean Gym. He joined in the crowd and tried to figure out what was going on. “What’s going on in there?” he asked.
“Some crazy trainer with a lot of Clefairy’s is acting like he owns the place!” answered a member of the crowd. Jake managed to get a better look, and sure enough, it was the Psycho from Pewter City.
“Okay Clefairy’s!” he said, putting on a strange Starmie costume. “I’m going to show you how to create a typhoon!” The Psycho in the Starmie costume jumped into the pool, and started swimming around in repeated 360 degree circles, faster and faster. The Six Clefairy’s jump into the water and starts doing the same, accomplishing nothing even close to a typhoon. The crowd starts bursting into laughter at the Psycho’s stupidity. The Psycho was feeling really bad after spinning around in the water like that. He shouldn’t have had that sun-dried subway sandwich he found. He then threw up all in the pool. A siren blared off, and out of an ambulance came civil workers, who grabbed the Psycho, threw him in a straightjacket, and wheeled him off to the Nut House. Speechless, Jake just walked away from the cheering crowd for putting on such a great act.

“You!” said an unfamiliar voice to Jake.
