[IC] Pokemon Johto

The crowd cheered as the Sea Priestess Maya awarded Shiranui a Mystic Water pendant and declared him as a Sea Hero.

After the fireworks ended and the crowd started to disperse, Liam congratulated his friend before heading to heal his team up.

[James Davy]

"Thanks Liam," replied Shiranui, joining Liam on the way to the Pokémon Centre.

After the pokemon were healed, Liam's father had found them. He asked of Liam still had Croconaw with him. Liam said that he did. Liam's father took Croconaw, wanting to so him something. Mr. Coleman taught his son's Croconaw Power up Punch

[James Davy]

"I've heard of that move," stated Shiranui.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam turned to Shiranui. He proposed to his friend that they adjust back to balanced teams and move on to get the next badge.

[James Davy]

"I agree," replied Shiranui, "We must assume that Chuck would have some counter strategies for Psychic and Flying types. Only a few of his Pokémon can hit Ghost-types and I don't believe he would have got wind of Fairy-types; which his Pokémon are weak to."

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Well, lets go get balanced teams and head over there." Liam said.

[James Davy]

Shiranui nodded and promptly adjusted his party, making sure he had Onryou, Tachi and Kanki on his party for the gym; and Hitsuji, Sundan and Wani for any trainers that may challenge him.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam fixed his team back to being balanced. He then was ready to head to the boat that would go to Cianawood City.

[James Davy]

Shiranui was ready at the dock and raring to take on the Cianwood Gym.

[bowtiesrcool86]

The duo got on the boat. It then took off.

[James Davy]

While the boat was sailing west, Shiranui was wondering what kind of Fighting-type Pokémon he would have to face.

[bowtiesrcool86]

On the trip, a trainer confronted Liam, wanting to battle him. The trainer boasted about how he was going to beat me with his 'super powerful' Pokemon. He called out a Rattata. Liam felt bad about this. Unless this Rattata was absurdly strong, any Pokemon Liam has on him would leave it in critical condition. Liam sent out Croconaw. A single Power Up Punch KO'd the Rattata.

[James Davy]

"Such idle boasting," commented Shiranui to Liam, "Did he really think he could beat a tournament semi-finalist with a single Rattata?"

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Some people just don't think things through all the way." Liam replied with a sigh. The boat then docked at Cianawood. Liam asked after the Pokemon Center if they should go to the Safari Zone or the gym first.

[James Davy]

"Decisions, decisions…" Shiranui pondered, "The gym is closer, but the Safari Zone gives us the opportunity to get some more new friends."

[bowtiesrcool86]

"I know, right?" Liam replied.

[James Davy]

"Well, what would you like to do first?" Shiranui asked.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"I'm not sure, that is why I asked you. Liam fished out a coin from his pocket. "Heads we go to the Safari first, Tails we go to the gym first, two out of three." Liam stated. He flipped the coin, heads. He flipped again, tails, and for the final flip, heads. "So lets go the Safari first."
