The Bridge Bike Gang (Re-edited)

After leaving the Safari Zone, the gang are continuing on their journey. But at the moment, they were at the lodge in the Pokémon Center. They were at a bridge earlier, an officer had told them that it wasn't really ready yet, only the bike track was. Seeing no other option when they opted to get some bikes but were unsuccessful, so they decided to head to the Pokémon Center to think of something else. Cora decided to call her mom to see how she was doing.

"[Viridian City Pokémon Center.]" Alise greeted when she appeared on the screen.

"Hi mom." Cora greeted.

"[Cora! How are you, sweetie?]" Alise asked, smiling.

"I'm fine, mom. How are you?" Cora asked.

"[I'm just fine.]" Alise thanked.

"I'm glad. Just want to let you know that I got my sixth gym badge." Cora said.

"[Really? That's great. Now you only have two more to go.]" Alise Joy stated.

"Yup, I can't wait to get my next badge. Well, I gotta go. My friends and I have to think of a way to get to the next town." Cora said.

"[Don't worry, I'm sure that you'll figure something out, my dear.]" Alise assured her.

"Thanks, mom. Goodbye." Cora waved.

"[Goodbye.]" Alise waved back before the screen went black.

Cora put the phone back and walked back over to her friends. She sat down next to Alain who sat next to Mairin.

"So, what do we do? We can't pass through without the bikes." Mairin pointed out.

"We'll think of something," Alain said positively, "We always do."

"Excuse me, if you could spare some time, would you mind helping me out?" A female voice asked.

The gang looked over their shoulders and saw Nurse Anna Joy.

"Hey Aunt Anna." Cora greeted.

"Hello Cora." Anna Joy greeted back, "It's great to see you."

"You too." Cora smiled.

Anna Joy smiled before her expression saddened, "Cora, I was wondering if you and your friends could help me with something." She requested.

"What is it?" Cora asked.

"I'm worried about the Pokémon in Sunny Town, just over the bridge, that's very sick." Nurse Anna Joy said with a sad expression.

Then she walked over to the counter and showed the gang the medicine, "I need someone to deliver this medicine to the Pokémon Center in Sunny Town. Normally I'd go myself, but I'm too busy with sick Pokémon to leave the center right now."

"It's just over the bridge, right?" Cora asked.

Nurse Anna Joy nodded, "That's right."

"But we don't have any bicycles." Mairin pointed out.

"No problem. I'll let you use some of our bicycles." Nurse Anna Joy smiled.

"Thank you, Aunt Anna. We'll take this medicine and deliver it to the Pokémon Center in Sunny Town." Cora assured her as she took the medicine and placed it in her bag.

"The bikes are in the parking lot." Nurse Anna Joy smiled, "And thank you, Cora."

"Bye!" The gang started to leave.

====================

Cora and Alain were all riding bikes along the bridge. Kilala was sitting in the basket of the bike. Mairin rode on the back of Alain's bike.

"This feels nice." Cora said, loving the way the wind feels against her face.

"Espeon!" Kilala cheered.

"Sure beats walking." Alain said.

"We're getting to cross the bridge after all." Cora said.

"Right, Cora. We sure got lucky." Mairin smiled.

They continued on bicycling a little longer when they noticed a rest stop and decided to take a short break. Each took a different beverage to clench their thirst.

"Wow, I didn't think that this would be such a workout." Cora commented.

"Well it was a great workout to me." Alain said.

"Yeah, and since we lucked into those bikes, it won't be long till we're in Sunny Town." Cora agreed.

"Right, Cora." Mairin added.

Everyone threw their empty bottles away in a trash bin.

"Okay. Time to hit the road." Cora said.

Everyone was about to get onto their bikes until they heard when they heard some noises coming towards them.

"Uh-oh. Who are they?" Mairin asked.

"It's a bicycle gang." Alain replied.

Mairin chuckled nervously, "Uh, a bicycle gang?"

"I think we better get out of here." Cora said.

Just as he said that they found themselves surrounded by a bicycle gang closing off their attempt to escape.

"Why does this always have to happen to us?" Cora muttered.

A biker with spiky red hair with a bit of yellow in the front, pulled off his black sunglasses, "I don't think I've seen you before, sweetheart."

Alain's hands tightened on the handlebars.

"The name's Chopper, leader of the Bike Gang." The leader introduced himself.

"We're not really from around here," Cora stated as she and the others were about to take off, "So see ya'!"

"Hold it!" Chopper called out which made them stop, "You're ain't going to cross this bridge without a proper introduction."

Cora sighed and got off her bike, "By introduction, you mean a Pokémon battle, right?" She narrowed her eyes at Chopper.

A female biker with long green hair and blue eyes walked up, folded her arms, "That's right."

"I'll accept your challenge." Cora declared.

=====================

The biker gang and the gang stood on both sides of the field. Chopper and Cora stood on their sides, ready for battle.

"Hmph. You think you can play with the big boys?" Chopper taunted as he took out a Pokéball, "I'll send you home crying."

Cora made no comment.

"Golem go!" Chopper released his Golem to the field.

Cora scanned the Pokémon.

[Golem, a Megaton Pokémon. Once a year it sheds its bedrock shell and grows larger.]

"Rory." Cora released her shiny Gyarados to the field.

Rory roared when he entered the field. The bikers looked up at the Atrocious Pokémon in fear and took a step back.

"Overkill much?" Mairin sweat dropped.

"You first." Cora offered.

"All right, Golem use Gyro Ball!" Chopper ordered.

Golem spun really fast and became like a metal ball spinning with a glow in the center of it and it rolled towards Rory.

"Rory, Iron Tail." Cora countered.

Rory's tail glowed a metallic color and slammed it onto Golem, who cried out in pain from the attack.

"Golem!" Chopper cried out.

"Hydro Pump." Cora ordered, calmly.

Rory blasted his water attack at Golem, hitting it directly. Golem immediately fainted from the attack.

"Oh no, Golem return." Chopper hung his head down and returned his fallen Pokémon.

"Great job, Rory. You're getting stronger every day." Cora praised her water Pokémon who gave a closed eye smile to her before she returned him to his Pokéball.

"Not so fast girl!" The female biker said standing next to Chopper, "I'm Tyra and I'll take you on next." She said releasing her Pokémon which was a Cloyster.

Cora sighed. She knew that they were in a hurry to get to Sunny Town and that the Bike Gang won't leave them alone unless they beat in battle.

Alain stepped up, "I'll take her, Cora."

Cora blinked, "You're sure?"

"Positive." Alain confirmed and switched with Cora.

Alain took out a Pokéball, "Come on out, Leafeon!"

Leafeon appeared in front of Alain in the field.

"Cloyster, Toxic Spikes!" Tyra ordered.

Cloyster fired poisonous spikes from its shell, heading straight towards Leafeon.

"Leafeon, dodge it and then use Bullet Seed." Alain ordered.

Leafeon dodged the poisonous spikes with her speed and then appeared right in front of Cloyster. Then she launched her grass type attack at Cloyster. The Bivalve Pokémon cried out in pain and immediately fainted.

"Cloyster no!" Tyra shouted out in worry.

The biker gang looked angry at their defeats and was about to gang up on them. Then they heard sirens coming their way.

"Looks like the next town wants to rumble." Chopper said.

At first they thought it was the police, but it wasn't.

"Team Rocket." Cora muttered.

"Great." Mairin groaned.

Team Rocket was doing their motto.

"Quick, let's go while the Bike Gang is distracted." Cora whispered.

"Right." Alain agreed as he returned Leafeon to her Pokéball.

Surprisingly, they were able to get pass the gang and went on towards Sunny Town. A few minutes later, the clouds began to darken, and the wind blew hard on them.

Cora looked up at the sky, "Oh man." She said and took out a Pokéball, "Kilala, you should go in your Pokéball for now, you'll be warmer that way."

Kilala nodded, "Espeon (Okay)."

Kilala was returned to her Pokéball. Chespie also returned to his Pokéball. They took off.

Soon enough, rain began to pour. Everyone stopped for a moment to put on their raincoats.

"We should hurry." Cora said.

Then the gang took off.

====================

The rain soon started into a storm with stronger winds.

Cora looked ahead and gasped when she saw the drawbridge, "Guys, there's a drawbridge ahead!" She shouted.

Alain spotted a ship, "That ship's trying to take shelter in the bay."

"What do we do?" Mairin asked.

"We'll have to wait till it gets through." Alain replied.

"No way. The sick Pokémon that waiting for us needs this medicine or it might not make it." Cora retorted, "Let's keep going."

The gang continued and jumped the drawbridge and noticed that they weren't going to make it. Then Cora saw Team Rocket and smiled.

"We'll bounce!" She decided.

Cora bounced off Jessie's head and Alain bounced off James's. The gang landed on the other side while Team Rocket fell into the ocean.

"Alright!" Cora cheered, "We made it!"

"Wow, what a thrill!" Mairin said, "Almost lost my heart back there."

Alain chuckled, "Let's keep going."

"Or maybe not." Cora grumbled when she saw the Bike Gang in front of them, "MOVE IT!" She shouted, "I don't have any time to deal with you all. There's a sick Pokémon waiting for us in Sunny Town that's needs medicine! So out of our way!"

"What?" Chopper asked, shocked.

"You mean that's why you're out in this storm?" Tyra asked, in disbelief.

"That's right." Alain replied.

"Unbelievable. That's a real biker for ya'." Chopper said, close to tears, and turned to his gang, "Listen up, guys! We're going to take them there in style."

The Bike gang cheered.

Cora blinked, "Huh?"

Then they surrounded the gang with Chopper and Tyra in front.

"Don't worry, Cora. We'll clear the way for you." Chopper said.

========================

The storm had cleared as the Bike gang and the gang got closer to the Pokémon center. As soon as they got to the front, Cora immediately got off the bike, "Here, Aunt Sophia." She said as she held out the bag of medicine to her.

"You made it through in a storm like this." Nurse Sophia Joy smiled as she took the medicine and turned to the sick Shellder, "Now this little one will be just fine."

Sophia poured the medicine into the tank and as soon as the medicine hit Shellder, it blinked and smiled happily.

"Alright!" Cora and Mairin cheered along with the Bike Gang.

Alain called Nurse Anna Joy and told them the good news.

"From now on, we're calling you Courageous Cora." Chopper declared.

Cora sweat dropped, "Well, uh..."

"Awesome Alain." Chopper said.

Alain's brow arched, "Awesome?"

Tyra declared, "Mighty Mairin."

Mairin chuckled nervously, "Mighty huh?"

======================

And so, after helping a sick Pokémon, made it through a rough storm to Sunny Town, and making new friends with the Bike gang, Cora and her friends head out onto their next adventure.
