A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story [Needs to be graded]

I have a character limit on my PS3 Browser, so this will be in a LARGE AMOUNT of posts

Target: Bellsprout
Difficulty: Simple
Target Word Count: 5-10K

Senzura, he is your typical Hoenn nerd. Glasses? Check. Button-down shirt? Check. Chest pocket? Checkity-check. Yes, everyone labeled him as a nerd, even his mentor, Flannery, back at Lavaridge town called him a nerd. Although, she was the only one who would do anything for him. This was because of the problems that Senzura had that held him back. Senzura was born with severe ADHD and mild schizophrenia. These problems were so severe; he was kicked out of the Rustboro Pokemon School. After that incident, his parents told him that he could no longer pursue anything related to pokemon. The fatal incident stuck in his mind to this day.....

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

"Okay students today we are going to work on type disadvantages. Each student will be given a pokemon that has a disadvantage to their instructors." instructed the teacher." Senzura you will be using a Magmorter. Your opponent will be Mr. Perry, who will use a Golem." While this was typical procedure for a day at the school, today was different. They were to have a special guest, none other than Roxanne, the Rustboro Gym Leader!

A mistake like the one Senzura was about to make would be normally over looked by a normal instructor, as their code of conduct required, but this instructor was different. Dr. Harlem was as some people say "Wants Ego like Munchlax wants food". If Roxanne liked this performance, she would give Dr. Harlem a grant, allowing him to hire a qualified instructor, giving him room to pursue dreams of working at Mossdeep Space center.

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

Senzura took the stage. In his ear, he was told that the Golem he was fighting could DEFLECT fire. This would make it dangerous if a fire attack was used, so they should be avoided at all costs. So the battle began. "Golem, start off with a rock slide!" Perry bellowed. The Golem released rocks straight at Magmorter, but Senzura responded, "Magmorter, hang a left and him'em with a brick break!” Magmorter's massive body swung to one side, kicking up a stone tile on the floor. Running toward that stationary Golem the red monster of a pokemon swung a massive arm down and scored a clean hit on the big rock. Despite this being Golem's weakness, *the Golem manage to hang in there. This is where things got bad. Whenever Senzura loses focus, that's when he has his episodes.

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

Thinking that the Golem was down, he involuntarily began to look around*at the other students. He saw one with a Charmeleon blowing out a long flamethrower straight at Skarmory. Senzura began to daydream about Charzard under his control, battling a mighty Registeel. He then, without his knowledge, unconsciously screamed

"FIRE BLAST"

The Magmorter reared back, took a large breath, and blew out a gigantic star of fire. Almost on signal the Golem held both of its arms in and protected itself from the blast. The fire blast began to fly all around the school, burning everything in site. Luckily one of the more paranoid teachers standing by the fire extinguisher flew open the glasses, and began to spray the white gas around. The fire was quickly put out, but Harlem was not pleased. Before Roxanne could say a word, Senzura was set back to Lavaridge on the first bus they could provide.

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

His parents, who told him he couldn't function in a pokemon school from the beginning, were definitely not happy. They forbade him from ever doing anything with pokemon ever again.

However, Roxanne did not mind the event, and was to give Dr. Harlem the grant anyway. Although, when she found that he expelled Senzura for a simple mistake, she was not pleased, and the Doctor was sent packing. This didn't change Senzura's parents' minds, and the ban still held. There was one however who still liked the kid. The Lavaridge gym leader, Flannary.

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

She took him under her wing, and over the years taught him more than the school ever taught him everything he knew. This was done in secret, however, as his parents would never allow it. They always believed he was helping her clean the gym! One day, when training in the mountain next to the town. Something happened that would set the course of his life.

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

"Senzura, you've really improved these past few years yah know kid?" *she said while exploring the mountain.

"Yah I guess" he responded

"Well, I started training with you when you were eleven, four years later, you're likely better than the professors at the pokemon school" She started

"I don't know about that.....and what happened to randomly using the words ERUPTION and HOT and FIRE in your sentences?" Senzura asked curiously. She really did overuse those analogies, usually when she stops, she's getting serious. She stopped and turned toward Senzura "Yah you will always be a nerd, but seriously..."

Senzura became even more curious, turning his head toward the female gym leader.

"There's something I want you to see" she said as she turned back her head and began walking in another direction.

Where they were headed concerned Senzura. The mountain that they trained in ran through many interconnected chambers.

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

Each chamber in the Volcano had its own light, either supplied by the outside or the natural magma streams that ran through the mountain. However there was wan direction of the rocky zubat-infested set of tunnels that Flannery always told him to stay away from the southern-most chamber. This tunnel ran straight underground and, as Flaney put it, "Is dark as a Gengar's humor". Flannery, now was walking right through this tunnel

As the light diminished, Senzura yelled to Flannery "Where are you going! If you can't see under here, were sure to get lost!"

She stopped "Senzura, I haven't been entirely truthful to you all these years"

"What do you mean?"

She turned to reveal one of the most amazing sights Senzura had ever laid his eyes on. Behind Flannery was a large circular are cut out in the rock, lined walled to wall with sharp, gagged crystal that glimmered like the sun.

"Whoa!" Senzura exclaimed "What is this place? You wanted to keep THIS a secret?"

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

"Not exactly" she responded "I wanted to keep THOSE a secret"

She pointed toward a small crevice cut out in the wall. While before it was covered by crystals, on closer inspection a small pine next could be seen. Inside the nest were four newborn Torchics.

"It seems that their mother Blaziken left them all alone, so I've been coming down here to feed them regularly. The reason that I came down here with you today is..."

"Is what?" Senzura asked with anxiety

"...is I want you to have one."

Senzura looked surprised. "You know my parents have forbidden me from doing anything related to pokemon! I could never keep one in secret!"

Flannery smiled "I've already talked to your parents. I manage to convince them to let you become a pokemon trainer."

Senzura almost burst with happiness. "REALLY?! I CAN!?"

"Yes really. Now how about you give the Torchic a name?"

Senzura's mind raced. What to name it. Names last forever, and he needed a good one. "Rabadash. Your name is Rabadash."

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

Rabadash referred to a character from one of Senzura's favorite novels.

"Well good Senzura. I really think you should get packed up for your journey"

They then left the mountain and Senzura rushed toward his house. The next day he stood at the edge of the town with his Torchic and waved goodbye to his parents and friends. Stopping him before he left, Flannery ran up to him.

"Senzura, while you’re out on your journey, remember this: No matter how how far away you and Torchic might be, a bond of fire and a heart of flame will always get you through!"

That's the Flannery Senzura always remembers.

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

It’s been a month since he left Lavaridge, and Senzura and Torchic were feeling better than ever!

By better than ever he meant lost in Petalburg Forest.

The thing was, Senzura really wanted to explore Hoenn a bit more before he boarded his ship for Sinnoh. A month of walking and he finally made it to the forest! Unfortunately he had immediately got lost in the rustling woods. With a gentle breeze flowing through the trees, knocking off the occasional Caterpie, he felt quite peaceful here, despite not knowing where the heck he was. Torchic was still as energetic as ever, jumping around next to the teenager. Luckily he had a type advantage against the large amount of bug pokemon that inhabited this forest. Back in Lavaridge, the only pokemon he ever saw were fire type, so this gave him a feeling of accomplishment. However, Senzura was incredibly immature, and brushing his teeth gave him a feeling of accomplishment.

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

"Tor-chic chic"

"I know were lost Rabadash! Tell me something I don't already know" Responded Senzura loudly.

Ah, yes. Recently in is long travels with the little Torchic, Senzura had gained an odd ability to talk to Rabadash and understand what he says. It’s not all that clear how it works exactly, almost like an unconscious understanding of a language you don't truly understand. Or maybe Senzura is pretending he knows what he's talking about and is really just crazy.

Either one works.

*Rustle Rustle*

Suddenly Senzura saw a nearby bush rustle slightly. This would be normal behavior of a little wurple, but something was off. Judging by the way the bush moved, it would have to be something with arms moving the bush around. But what has an arm that’s shorter than 4 feet?

Senzura and Torchic crept in closer, only to see a little yellow bulb stick up from the top of the bush, and run (or rather waddle) full speed into the canopy.

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

The little yellow thing seemed extremely interested Senzura, so he immediately grabbed Rabadash, trusted him up onto his shoulders, and ran as fast as his legs could carry him.

Left! Right! Around a tree! Over a bush! The great forest chase seemed to go on forever!

After what seemed an eternity of running, the little thing ran into a hole in the trees, which was covered by vines. The little thing stopped just enough for Senzura to make out what it was.

"A BELLSPROUT!? There aren't any bellsprout in hoenn! What could it be doing here?"

Senzura wanted to go through the vines after it, but he would be cut to ribbons. Before he could make a second thought.....

SMACK!

Senzura was out cold.

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

As Senzura awoke, he rubbed his neck and begun to wonder what just happened. As he looked around, he saw that he was being carried! Tangled up in vines, there was no mean to escape. He looked down to see who his captors were.

"BEL-SPROUT BEL-SPROUT" the little pokemon chanted as they carried Senzura to an unknown destination. Now this was a sight not many would get to see! It seemed a large clan of Bellsprout had tangled up Senzura and had been marching with him held above their heads!

Where Senzura was now could only be described as a forest within a forest. Below him was the normal forest floor, dirt and grass. But all around was a tunnel of vines! The odd thing was that the vines had been carefully tied together, almost as if the Bellsprout at created a cave system made from nothing but what the forest provided them.

It was then Senzura suddenly noticed Rabadash was nowhere to be seen!

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

"Rabadash?! Rabadash?! Where are you!?" Senzura yelled at the best of is ability. With every part of his body restrained, it was nearly impossible to get a word out. Also, as soon as he made his cry, one of the Bellsprouts leading the pack turned around and smacked Senzura clean in the face, giving him a nosebleed. They obviously didn't want any talking out of him.

As the Bellsprout made their way through the cave of vines, they came to an opening, a circular area with a large stone towering over everything in the middle. It seemed this wasn't the only tunnel of vines in this colony, as there were many more all around where Bellsprout were pouring in. To the side he say a large stake with something tied to it, wiggling. It was Rabadash.

"Rabadash, they got you too?!" Senzura yelled, following by another smack to the face.

"Trrr-orrrr" Rabadash struggled to say, as the bellsprout cleverly tied his mouth shut, to prevent any fire attacks.

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

In the middle, one Bellsprout stood out above the rest. Standing next to the stone was a Bellspout with a vine crown and a cape made from leaves.

"Bel-sprout-sprout!" The King-like pokemon said loudly

"Sprout-sprout-sprout" All Belsprout echoed in unison. Before Senzura could wonder what to think, he received a smack to the face yet again. This gesture must have meant Senzura should have responded.

"Um yah Sprout-sprout" he said unenthusiastically

Senzura was then led up toward the "king" in his vine prison and was studied closely. Then the King moved to show Senzura the stone. on the stone seemed to be the history on the Bellsprout’s clan! Great battles against fearow, a great invasion of butterfree, ect. But what the king directed his face to was a very odd carving. In it a human, similar to Senzura only with wings and horns, next to him a small demon, were burning down the forest of bellsprout with fire breath. Quite an unrealistic sight, but it soon sunk in.’

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

They though him and Rabadash were the demons!

"Whoa, Whoa, guys! I think were at a misunderstanding! I just happen to come to this part of the forest because we were lost, not because we wanted to destroy your....establishment."

The Bellsprout didn't seem to listen, and it didn't look like they were going to get a trial. They Bellsprout picked up Rabadash's stake and brought it over to a fire. They were going to cook Rabadash!

"Trrr-orrrrrr" cried the little Torchic as they began to lead him to the fire and set him up on a spit.

Senzura was exasperating. That Torchic was a gift and a friend! He wasn't going to lose it now! He was so far away though, how would he ever hope to save Rabadash? Suddenly he had a flashback.

"Senzura, while your out on your journey, remember this: No matter how far away you and Torchic might be, a bond of fire and a heart of flame will always get you through!"

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

Though he might have misunderstood the meaning, he used the advice to save his life

"Rabadash, build up as much fire in your mouth as you can, then quickly exhale!" Senzura yelled at the cost to two more smacks

Rabadash's mouth began to glow brightly, still closed from the vines, then with a gush of breath, flames spewed out from both sides. The vines on its beak burned, and traveled to the ones holding it to the stake. Rabadash quickly broke free and ran over to Senzura, releasing him as well. The Bellsprout ran around rampant, thinking that they were about to be burned to the ground, so they quickly ran over to Senzura to attempt another capture.

Then, however they were signaled to stop by their King.

"Bel-bel-bel-sprout" he said

Turning to Rabadash he requested a translation. Senzura better hope he can actually understand Rabadash!

"Tor-chick-chik-chic....." he went on

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

From the "Translation" Senzura was receiving, it seemed that, according to their lore, the demon that would destroy the clan was truly naive and weak. Senzura and Rabadash seemed different. But there would be one last test to prove this. A battle between Senzura and the King. If they won, the king would belong to Senzura. But if the King won, they would be subject to whatever the King chose. Senzura, believing this would be a simple "use ember to one-hit-KO the grass type" deal agreed.

The entire Bellsprout clan watched as the two parties took their positions.

"Rabadash, lets finish this quickly with an ember!"

Rabadash ran forward and spewed out flames. It would seem to be a hit, but the King was crafty. The Bellsprout used vine whip to grab the vines above, swing toward Rabadash, flip and give him a violent whip, causing major damage on the Torchic.

 

Re: A Big Misunderstanding! A Bellsprout Story

"That is one crafty bellsprout, but I’ve got a plan" Senzura said to himself "Rabadash, direct your flames slowly upward, so he can't pull that trick again!"

Rabadash did was ordered, and when the King readied the vine whip again. Senzura thought he had the Bellsprout cornered, but this time he grabbed the side of the vine dome, rather than the roof vines. This time the Bellsprout swung around and gave Rabadash a harsh hit from behind.

"Rabadash can't keep up much more of this!" Senzura said to himself. "What do I do?" Senzura than thought back to a day he dreaded, but this time would help him. He imagined the Magmortor setting fire to the school. That gave him and idea! "Rabadash, use your flamethrower to surround the King!”

"Tor-chic!

Rabadash began to run around the Bellsprout, using flamethrower as he went. A circle of fire appeared around the Bellsprout.

Senzura gave another order "Now hit the vines above with Flamethrower"
