  Bidoof is the answer to everything. I, Narita Suzuki, have made it my life’s mission to enlighten the world about the cuteness of Bidoof. My journey will take me to all the cities and towns of the Kinjoh Area, and I hope you’ll join me as we explore the world and let everyone know about the most adorable Pokemon to ever grace this planet.

  112,743 watching

  [ONGOING FOOTAGE: Narita Suzuki recording himself walking through the streets of Cherrygrove City.]

  Part three of my Indigo Vlog series! Indigo is a country made up of two different regions, Kanto and Johto, and one of the most affluent countries in the Kinjoh Area. Join me as I trek across the wilds and spread the word about Bidoof’s awesomeness!

  [Play Video? → Yes]

  [A man in his late twenties—Narita Suzuki—smiles at the camera while walking and wiping sweat from his brow.]

  “Annnd we’re back from our ad break! To Bidoofers who just tuned in, hello! I’m Narita Suzuki, and I’m bringing you footage live from Cherrygrove City!” he hollers with a snap of his fingers.

  [LIVE CHAT →

  Gulpin life’s sorrows away: Loool this wasn’t in Narita’s itinerary though???

  toastedsupremacy: Yeah I’m pretty sure he said he was going to Goldenrod today… Think he’s still feeling competitive over Tuff Tuff King slowly stealing his viewers away LOL

  Coffee24Seven: I don’t care I just want to see Cherrygrove! Working a crappy 9 to 5 job sucks. I don’t have the spare funds to go traveling, so I gotta settle for living through Narita’s vlog series T _ T]

  Narita coughs loudly. “Remember, everyone, no bringing up other streamers in the chat. That’s one of the chat rules on my Turtwitch page. You’ll get a warning from a mod if it happens again. Anyway…”

  [He swings his camera around to show the view of quaint houses and shops lining the streets.]

  “If you haven’t already guessed from the title of today’s livestream, I’m here to interview residents of Johto’s hottest city at the moment! I’m sure most of them are probably die-hard fans of Fairies and the local Cherrygrove Gym, but we’ll see if we can get through to their hearts. Mission Get People To Like Bidoof More Than Fairies: start— uh…”

  [Narita pauses mid-sentence and trails off. His grip on his camera loosens, and the device is tilted downwards so all viewers see is the concrete sidewalk.]

  [LIVE CHAT →

  dicedicebaby: ???

  Gulpin life’s sorrows away: ???

  MimeJrIsMyFav: ??? Narita why’d you stop??? Why are we looking at the floor?

  Cheeseinthetrap: Broadcast error maybe? Prank incoming? I have no idea]

  [An audible gulping sound echoes before the camera is shakily brought back up. Narita holds it high, high above his head so viewers can see into the far distance. Up in the sky, a gigantic, glowing orb shines rays of moonlight down. The sky in the distance looks like night has fallen over a portion of the city.]

  “A-Are you guys seeing this?” Narita stammers, clearly flustered even though his face isn’t visible. “I don’t know if you can tell on camera or not, but it’s like—like it’s nighttime over there! There’s a freaking moon in the sky! It’s weird because I see the sun is still up there and the bright blue sky around it, but I’m just standing here blinking and it looks, um, seamless? I don’t know how to describe it, but it looks like it’s ACTUALLY night and not like boxed in from a Pokemon move or something…”

  [He rambles on in long, fragmented sentences that only make partial sense, but the live chat has already lost it.]

  Gulpin life’s sorrows away: WTF KIND OF SORCERY IS GOING ON IN CHERRYGROVE

  Glameowing it up: Holy shit, it looks like the end of the world is approaching. At least I don’t have to take my math test tomorrow

  marychoppins: We sure that’s not a high level Pokemon battle going on over there??? Like some reverse crap Sunny Day or something?

  Y7BEN: To the commenter above me: bro I don’t know if that’s even possible

  kline89: I feel terrible asking this already but NARITA CAN YOU GO CHECK WHAT THAT IS IM DYING OF CURIOSITY. definitely not asking you to do something dangerous that will lead you to certain doom ahaha…ha…]

  [Thanks to the live chat, Narita finally snaps back to attention.]

  “Uh, uh, right! L-Lemme get closer!” he stutters before hurrying away.

  [The handheld camera’s view shakes wildly as it’s jostled around from running. Eventually, Narita comes huffing and puffing to a halt. The camera steadies again. He holds it up once more, and the viewers see that part of the street is submerged in nightfall. Narita tentatively reaches out with a finger, but his finger gets stuck midair like it can’t get past an invisible boundary separating day and night.]

  “You guys see this?! There’s no wall here or barrier or anything, but from like… this side of the city onward, it looks like it’s nighttime over there! I can’t reach out to the other side. Arceus, this is mad weird…”

  Doifffer: Bruh

  whispers810: tf is that??? Tf is that??

  Gulpin life’s sorrows away: Again, let me ask WTF KIND OF SORCERY IS GOING ON IN CHERRYGROVE

  toastedsupremacy: ya know, i’m pretty sure this AIN’T normal

  zoomiekun: I’m going out on a limb here, but who wants to bet this is Arin Watanuki’s doing? Like come on, a giant moon? A dark sky? Some weird wacko nighttime crap? This has Fairy BS written all over it, and I would know cuz I read that Pokevengers Research Paper inside out. Fairies do crazy stuff

  Y7BEN: I would say you might be right except that sounds way too insane. You’re saying a dude’s Pokemon could make a WHOLE PART of a city turn into night?

  zoomiekun: Like I said… /shrug/ Could be Fairy BS. It’s the best guess I got, sonny]

  [Narita makes a small sound of surprise.]

  “Oh! I think I see someone coming out of their house down there in the darkness. Maybe I can ask them what’s going on— WAIT, SHIT, NO, MY BATTERY! NOT NOW—”

  [The video and Narita’s panicked voice both cut off without warning.]

  Seaking a New Obsession ? Today at 12:08 PM

  We’re fine. I’m glued in front of the TV right now, but the incidents seemed to have been contained and dealt with pretty fast. I live in Cerulean and nobody got hurt over here. Lily and the youngest Waterflower sister, Misty, basically isolated the entire river with their teams! It was like getting to see one of their famous water performance shows for free! (Minus the, uh, waters that were dyed a suspicious red from afar.)

  Wooper Blooper ? Today at 12:08 PM

  That’s… definitely one way of looking at things. Very optimistic. Glad you’re fine, though!

  Scholar of the Ages ? Today at 12:08 PM

  Anyone else?

  Steel types ROCK! ? Today at 12:08 PM

  Same here except I’m from Olivine! Today was my day off from working at the docks, but I got texts from my buddies saying Jasmine took care of Pokemon running amok over there. Nobody got serious injuries except bruises and scrapes from cargo boxes falling on them when they ran away.

  Abrakadabra ? Today at 12:08 PM

  That’s great to hear.

  How To Write Essays 101 ? Today at 12:09 PM

  It doesn’t take a genius to put together the dots, right? Local trainers reporting gym trainers fighting drugged Pokemon on Cherrygrove Routes 29 and 30? Drugged Pokemon running amok in Olivine AND Cerulean? Plus the riots in Blackthorn that ended up revealing Team Rocket people hidden in the whole mess?

  Team Rocket planned all of this.

  Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

  Well, even if they did, they fucked up big time. They messed with the wrong people.

  Serperior Academic ? Today at 12:09 PM

  Definitely. *ahem* I mean, look at what happened in Cherrygrove City. You can even check Chatter for eyewitness reports, but apparently drugged Pokemon were at their city’s beach. too. No locals got hurt thanks to lifeguards and Rangers on active duty, but they got a blurry photo of Arin’s Pokemon shredding the sea. Here, I’ll even send a pic.

  [destroyed cherrygrove sea img attachment]

  Wooper Blooper ? Today at 12:09 PM

  You know, I’m pretty glad that photo’s so blurry. Can’t see what exactly is floating atop those waters, but I have a darn good guess. Hint: they used to be alive.

  Real talk though, as sad as it is, I’m glad those Pokemon were put out of their misery. I know we discussed this last year when that gang smuggling Pokemon and drugs in Hoenn was caught by Top Ranger Touya Isagi and carted off to prison, but Pokemon drugs are seriously despicable. Some of those photos floating around the Pokebet are really depressing…

  Gimme more research funding ? Today at 12:09 PM

  Yeah… Hope they find peace wherever they are. I’m not from Cherrygrove or even an Indigo citizen at all, but I still feel for them. It must be great to live in a city or town with a powerful trainer like a Gym Leader. You basically get a free pass to living in peace!

  Bulba Bulba ? Today at 12:09 PM

  All the Indigo Gym Leaders—Jasmine, Clair, Arin, and the Waterflower sisters—really pulled through for their people today.

  kamkam ? Today at 12:09 PM

  That’s the point of being a Gym Leader, ain’t it? You protect your respective city or town!

  Scholar of the Ages ? Today at 12:10 PM

  Can we go back to Arin and Cherrygrove for a second, though? Nobody knows for sure because it’s not confirmed yet, but come on, who the hell else can pull something like THIS off?

  [day turned into night for a portion of cherrygrove city img attachment]

  Sleep Deprived Student G ? Today at 12:10 PM

  It’s like the saying goes: fuck around and find out. But, uh… taken to a whole new level.

  Abrakadabra ? Today at 12:10 PM

  NO KIDDING! BRO, look at that shit! It’s like the end of the Arceus damned world! If someone told me today the world was ending, I’d actually believe them. Wonder what the Cherrygrove folks thought when they woke up, made some late breakfast, and then casually looked out their windows to see it was NIGHTTIME at 10 fucking AM?

  Bulba Bulba ? Today at 12:10 PM

  Obviously, they burned their eggs and bacon.

  kamkam ? Today at 12:10 PM

  Shut up.

  Serperior Academic ? Today at 12:10 PM

  Is it a massive area of effect Moonlight? Is it a Moonblast? I know I read somewhere that Arin’s Fairies all have specialty Moonblasts, but I had no idea they could do something like… that. /waves hands around helplessly/

  Sleep Deprived Student G ? Today at 12:11 PM

  DOMAIN EXPANSION! (Sorry, I’ve been watching a lot of Mumutsu High lately, really good anime rated 8.74 on AnimeBoards.)

  Scholar of the Ages ? Today at 12:11 PM

  I know it sounds crazy, but I kinda wish I was there for that. Ya know… for science… just want to know what it feels like to be inside that domain. Is it cold? How bright is that moon? Can you FEEL Fairies watching you from a distance?

  Abrakadabra ? Today at 12:11 PM

  I got no freaking clue what was going on in Cherrygrove, but now we know what Fairies are capable of when they mean business. Remind me to be nice to them next time I see one in the wild, would really prefer not to get me and the generations after me cursed into oblivion.

  Seaking a New Obsession ? Today at 12:11 PM

  Yeah, well, if you thought that was crazy, then Blackthorn City was insane in and of itself.

  kamkam ? Today at 12:11 PM

  Why, what happened in Blackthorn?

  Gimme more research funding ? Today at 12:11 PM

  Dude. Check Chatter, Chimegram, Turtwitch or any social media. People posted photos and videos ages ago! (Technically not even thirty minutes ago, but eh, who cares.)

  How To Write Essays 101 ? Today at 12:11 PM

  To summarize: Arin and Lance tag teamed Team Rocket. Giant moon bigger than Giovanni’s mansion went BOOP, dropped low, sucked all Team Rocket members and their drugged Pokemon into it like a black hole, and then carried them out of the city where they disappeared from view.

  The finale was the biggest fireworks show you’ll ever see out by the mountains far away. Lance and Arin probably went to town once they secured people’s safety and gained enough distance.

  Extroverted Introvert ? Today at 12:11 PM

  To add onto that: my friend who lives in Viridian City saw the skies turn white. Let me repeat that. He lives in VIRIDIAN CITY, but he was still able to see the aftereffects of that “light show” from all the way over there.

  kamkam ? Today at 12:11 PM

  Holy shit.

  Extroverted Introvert ? Today at 12:11 PM

  It’s nuts, uh huh.

  Abrakadabra ? Today at 12:12 PM

  People in Blackthorn said they were literally sweating buckets from passing heat. Little pink sparkles and blue embers from Lance’s Dragons fell like snow…

  kamkam ? Today at 12:12 PM

  So Fairies and Dragons CAN work together after all.

  Bulba Bulba ? Today at 12:12 PM

  Mortal enemies? Nah, sworn friends and two of Indigo’s greatest protectors.

  Thread Topic: The terrifying power of Fairies and how that translates to gym challenges

  Saria Migucho (Verified) / June 10th 202X / 11:36 AM JST

  Tags: Fairies, Fairy Type, Pokemon, Cherrygrove Gym, Johto League Circuit, Arin Watanuki, Fable Badge

  I’m not here to talk about politics or the string of incidents that unfolded in Indigo this morning. There’s a different section on this site for that. No, I’m here strictly to discuss the prospects of challenging the Cherrygrove Gym this fall. With only a month and a half to go, most people are busy training or otherwise getting ready for the next Johto League Circuit. I had plans to challenge the Cherrygrove Gym near the end of my League Circuit run, but I’ve since changed my mind because of a certain EVENT that occurred this morning in Cherrygrove City. Not sure how I feel about handling a Pokemon type that’s capable of warping reality with their beliefs. Thoughts?

  Tanaka Juzen (Verified)

  You telling me to fight that kind of Taurus shit for my eighth badge? Hell nah. Screw that. I ain’t dealing with reality mind bending crap either. I’m ticking off the Cherrygrove Gym Badge early.

  Rei Kichi (Verified)

  That’s just Arin’s personal Pokemon, though? The strongest Fairies you’ll probably ever see? I don’t think you need to worry about anything that crazy during a gym challenge.

  Coincidentally, I’m also planning on getting the Fable Badge for my first or second badge. Haha…

  Minara King (Verified)

  Cowards! Wimps! What separates the best trainers from the average bunch is their willingness to go the extra mile and push themselves! The strongest trainers are those who overcome great trials. Just look at any Gym Leader or Elite Four in the world. All of them didn’t take the easy way out during their own League Circuit runs.

  Evangeline Shizana (Verified)

  The commenter above me has a point (although they’re a little aggressive). > _ > If you want to become stronger faster than any trainer in your age group, you have to take calculated risks. That involves intentionally putting yourself through the wringer. If you only fight easy battles, you’ll stagnate.

  Hikaru Sanders (Verified)

  Yeah, and to add onto Evangeline Shizana’s post, why would you make things boring for yourself? Like yeah, sure, everyone wants to get to the Conference, become famous, and strike it rich. But for me personally, the journey is more important. Why would I waste a year of my life NOT having fun? That’s the whole point, isn’t it? To push your limits and get stronger?

  Saria Migucho (OP) (Verified)

  *whistles* Alright, you guys have convinced me. I’ll save the Cherrygrove Gym for the end of my checklist. If I want to really impress people, then I’m going to tell them I was one of the people who earned the Fable Badge at higher difficulty levels!

  Addie Rose (Verified)

  Damn… you all have guts. Sorry, but I think I’d rather take on the notorious Blackthorn Gym than the Cherrygrove Gym. Fairies are scarier than Dragons at this point for me.

  BREAKING NEWS

  [Simultaneous incidents across Indigo and the League’s response.]

  By Wilfred Kemp / Published June 10, 202X at 11:03 AM JST

  UPDATED 11:24 AM | Blackthorn City riots contained.

  UPDATED 11:40 AM | Reports in, low casualties confirmed.

  Reports and eyewitness reports came in swiftly one after another as incidents occurred in major cities across Indigo. Previously, the Indigo League released a statement regarding drugged Pokemon being used by the criminal organization known as Team Rocket. They warned people to look out for Pokemon exhibiting unnatural symptoms such as red, bloodshot eyes and sickly skin, but none had been encountered by Indigo citizens until now. Things changed this morning.

  In Olivine, drugged Pokemon were spotted emerging from the seas having powered through barricades and Rangers patrolling the seas. Similarly, locals reported seeing Pokemon show up on Cherrygrove’s beach and routes and the river by Cerulean City in Kanto. In addition to these drugged Pokemon, a wave of civilian protests swept through Blackthorn City and eventually turned violent as protestors lobbed objects at the Blackthorn Gym and Blackthorn Clan’s main estate. The protests took a turn for the worse when people sent out Pokemon and started rampaging on the streets, later confirmed by the Indigo League to be Team Rocket operatives who infiltrated the crowd.

  Fortunately, all incidents were quickly contained by their respective Gym Leaders. Gym Leaders from other cities and towns across Indigo additionally arrived on scene to help resolve conflicts in Olivine and Cerulean. At the time of writing this article, overall casualties were kept to less than one hundred in total for humans and Pokemon alike across all three cities. No civilians died. Response from the public has been mostly positive so far regarding the League’s swift action, but there are also criticisms for allowing these incidents to occur in the first place. The Indigo League has released a statement on their website regarding today’s events.

  What the hell is the Indigo League doing? How could they let Team Rocket and drugged Pokemon get as close as they did to human settlements? What the fuck are we paying them taxes for if this is the kind of security we get?

  — pichu pichu ? 1m ago

  I won’t say I’m one hundred percent happy about the situation either, but think about the positives. They contained the situations quickly and without any citizens dying. That’s already something to be grateful for. Plus, you can’t really expect governments or Leagues to be PERFECT all the time, right? They ain’t gods. They’re human like the rest of us and trying their best to keep us safe.

  — Optimistic Pokefan ? 1m ago

  pichu pichu is right. Let’s just put our faith in them. They’ve been doing a good job so far by taking down so many Rocket bases. Those are real law enforcement officers you’re talking about, and they’re putting their lives on the line for us.

  — Jack of TRADES ? Just now

  Or maybe the government is covering their shit up?

  TeaTime9 ? 22 minutes ago

  Is no one going to talk about what happened to those Team Rocket members and their Pokemon, the ones who were whisked away from Blackthorn City to the mountains beyond? They were probably killed.

  — Johto Forever ? 16 minutes ago

  And? Does that matter? They’re the worst criminals in the pages of our nation’s history! They probably would have done the same to the people of Blackthorn if they weren’t stopped!

  — Kantonian8 ? 16 minutes ago

  Johto Forever ain’t wrong. They killed people I loved in the Rocket War. My best friend died. So did my sister’s husband and his Pokemon when they helped defend Vermilion City. There’s no mercy for people like them. I’d know this as a former war veteran. There are things that have to be done to ensure our safety.

  — Rather Be A Gloom ? 15 minutes ago

  Quite right. Scum is scum. They need to be removed like the filth they are. They did terrible things to our people before, so they’re only reaping what they deserve.

  — TeaTime9 ? 14 minutes ago

  Okay, first, I’m truly sorry to anyone who has personal grievances with Team Rocket and lost their loved ones in the past. It’s terrible, and I can’t imagine how you guys feel.

  But as much as I agree how terrible Team Rocket is, I still can’t help but feel a bit troubled by how easy it is for our government to decide to just… get rid of them.

  — Johto Forever ? 13 minutes ago

  TeaTime9 If it’ll help you sleep better at night, I’ll help put things into perspective. These are people who wouldn’t hesitate to kill you or your loved ones for whatever sick purpose they have in terrorizing Indigo. Would you just stand around and let yourself get killed, or would you fight back?

  — Optimistic Pokefan ? 12 minutes ago

  Holy mother of Cloyster… The guys who are always arguing and bickering with each other in the comments actually see eye to eye for once…

  LEAGUE HQ, UNOVA — The Situation Room

  Every regional League’s HQ building had different layouts but similar rooms with similar functions. The Unova League was no different.

  In the West Wing, there was a place they called the Situation Room. Contrary to whatever expectations its name inspired, it wasn’t actually a single room but a whole operations suite that consisted of multiple conference rooms and a giant watch station. There, officials were posted on duty twenty four seven to observe the state of the country. Impressive monitors and holographic screens on the walls displayed realtime videos, satellite and sonar images, numerical data, and other relevant data about important locations scattered throughout Unova.

  In addition to the usual intelligence officers currently working their shifts, there was one other person in the room today. A young woman with a small, round face sat in front of a particularly large monitor where a news reporter talked about ongoing events in Indigo and showed a picture of day turning into night over in Cherrygrove City. A small army of Porygon had laboriously hacked into Indigo channels to watch their broadcasts, but that was nothing new. Every country kept a close watch on each other.

  The teenager was hunched over a small notebook laid flat on the table. Dark strands of hair fell carelessly around her as she wrote furiously with a pink pen.

  “Wow… Wow, wow!” she breathed to herself. “This is the most inspired I’ve ever felt! I have a feeling this book could be my next big hit!”

  “SHAUNTAL!” a male voice suddenly yelled. “Come on! I know you’re new around here, but you can’t slack off! We need to train the latest batch of League Trainer recruits.”

  “Right! Sorry, Marshal, I’m coming now!”

  Flustered, Shauntal Soma shot to her feet and hurried out the door. She remembered to take her pen with her, but she forgot her notebook in her rush.

  There on the table, the still open notebook was laid bare for the world to see.

  The pages were full of scribbled notes, but the bottom corner of the page seemed particularly important. Title Ideas was written in bold.

  There were words circled three times over under it.

  The story of a Fairy Specialist who vanquishes evil!

  I think I’ll call it Where The Moon Rises.

  Little Interlude to tie into next chapter’s aftermath as well as follow up on the events of last chapter. I wasn’t going to write this Interlude originally, but some excited commenters on last week’s chapter made me crack up so much that I ended up including an extra Pokenet Interlude in my overall planned timeline.

  Thanks for your continued support!

  This fic has a server if anyone is interested.
