Cheryl

One day the gang entered Eterna Forest. This forest led to Eterna City. But now they had gotten distracted. Growlithe was running through the forest.

"What's the matter Growlithe?" Tomo asked.

He had given chase to Growlithe along with the others.

Suddenly Growlithe stopped at a tree and on the tree were some wild Pokemon eating honey that was smeared on the bark of the tree.

"Ah well, since Pokemon can't resist the smell of sweet honey it's no wonder Growlithe ran all the way over here." Brock said.

Suddenly a few Burmy turned up to eat the honey as well. Seeing the wild Burmy made Dawn think of her Burmy. Just then a green-haired woman with a Chansey came out from some bushes.

"Chansey, use Attract." The woman said.

Some hearts came out of Chansey and they hit the Burmy. Two of them ended up falling in love with Chansey; that meant they were male.

"Okay Chansey, we only need to catch one of them." The woman said. "Use Double Slap."

Chansey started to slap one of the male Burmy, but the Burmy started to use Protect. Another thing was the other male Burmy used Tackle on Chansey.

Ash knew Chansey was in trouble and he released Pikachu from it's Poke Ball.

"Pikachu, Swift." He ordered.

Swift hit the other male Burmy and then Ash caught it.

"Chansey, Egg Bomb." The woman said.

Chansey hit Burmy with her egg.

Burmy was weakened and the woman caught it.

"Finally this male Burmy is mine." She cheered.

"I'm Ash." The gang introduced themselves to the woman.

"My name's Cheryl." She introduced herself.

"I'm a treasure hunter searching for enchanted honey." Cheryl explained.

"What's enchanted honey?" Brock asked.

"Enchanted honey is honey that's supposed to taste 100 times sweeter than normal honey." Cheryl said. "And that's why I came to Eterna Forest. To find some."

She presented a map of Eterna Forest to the gang.

"The red X on the map shows where the Amber Castle is; a castle that no one has ever visited yet and where the enchanted honey is supposed to be."

The gang found this very mysterious and exciting.

"Hey Cheryl, can we go with you?" Ash asked.

He and the others wanted to find the Amber Castle and enchanted honey too. Cheryl agreed to let them join her.

After explaining her mission, Cheryl sent out her Burmy.

"First of all I need my Burmy to evolve into a Mothim." She said. "Mothim has a powerful sense of smell that will help me find the enchanted honey."

"Wouldn't it have been better to catch a Mothim in the first place?" Dawn asked.

"My grandfather used to say that all roads begin with a Burmy." Cheryl said. "I caught three Burmy before, but they evolved into Wormadam."

She sent out three Wormadam; Wormadam was a bush-like Pokemon with the head at the top. These three Wormadam were different; one was green with flowers, the second was brown with rocks and the third was pink.

"Oh yes." Brock said. "A female Burmy evolves into Wormadam and a male Burmy evolves into Mothim."

Ash looked at Wormadam on his Pokedex.

"Wormadam, the Bagworm Pokemon and the evolved form of female Burmy. When Burmy evolved, it's cloak became a part of this Pokemon's body. The cloak is never shed."

Brock explained that the green Wormadam evolved from Burmy in a forest, the pink Wormadam evolved from Burmy in the city and the brown Wormadam evolved from Burmy in the mountains or caves.

"Since my Burmy is female it will evolve into a Wormadam too." Dawn said.

"And mine will evolve into Mothim since it's male." Ash said.

He sent out his Burmy.

"If our Burmy battle each other yours may evolve into Mothim." Ash said. "Dawn send yours out too so she can have a turn after me."

Dawn thought that was a good idea and sent out her Burmy.

Ash and Cheryl took their places to battle. Cheryl kept her three Wormadam out to cheer for the Burmy.

"It is very kind of you to help me out Ash." Cheryl said.

"I helped out a friend in the past with a Paras." Ash said. "It will be my pleasure to help your Burmy."

"Tackle." Cheryl told her Burmy.

"You do the same." Ash told his Burmy.

Since the Burmy are the same level with each other, they both got thrown back from tackling each other.

"Let's use a different move." Ash said. "Burmy, use Bug Bite."

"You use Bug Bite too Burmy." Cheryl said.

The two Burmy bit each other with Bug Bite.

"The Burmy are doing well in this state." Dawn said.

"Well they were just caught." Brock pointed out. "So those two are on the same level with each other."

"Okay let's use Hidden Power Burmy." Ash said.

"You use Hidden Power too Burmy." Cheryl said.

The Hidden Power attacks collided with each other.

"How about this? Use String Shot Burmy." Ash said.

Burmy fired string and Cheryl's Burmy was trapped in it. Cheryl was surprised by that.

"Excuse me Ash, but I'm not sure if my Burmy knows String Shot." She said.

She asked her Burmy if he knew String Shot, but he didn't know it. This meant that Ash's Burmy had won the battle.

Ash thought about it briefly.

"If you ask me." He said. "I think the best thing to do now is have Cheryl's Burmy learn String Shot before we battle again."

"I agree with that." Brock added. "And it will give Burmy some confidence too."

"Can we have my Burmy learn String Shot too?" Dawn asked. Her Burmy didn't know String Shot either.

So Ash's Burmy got to work by teaching Cheryl and Dawn's Burmy String Shot. Cheryl's three Wormadam stayed out of their Poke Balls to cheer on Cheryl's Burmy. It took some time, but soon both Dawn's and Cheryl's Burmy learned String Shot thanks to Ash's Burmy.

"Okay, now that we've sorted out teaching your Burmy String Shot, let's resume our battle Cheryl." Ash said.

"Okay." Cheryl said.

Suddenly there was a buzzing noise nearby.

"Beedrill." Ash gritted his teeth. He knew that sound all too well

He was right; a swarm of Beedrill was heading their way.

"We must have disturbed them." Dawn said.

It was a bit too late to run, so the gang had no choice but to fight the Beedrill. Ash ordered his Burmy to use Hidden Power and released Pikachu before ordering it to use Thunderbolt. Dawn told her Burmy to use Hidden Power and Piplup to use Bubble Beam. Tomo ordered his Growlithe to use Flamethrower and Cheryl ordered Burmy to use Hidden Power. Together the six Pokemon scared the Beedrill swarm away.

"We did it!" Tomo cheered.

"That's a relief." Dawn sighed.

Suddenly Ash, Dawn and Cheryl's Burmy started to glow.

"I think they are evolving." Cheryl said.

She was right; Ash and Cheryl's Burmy evolved into black, yellow and orange moth-like Pokemon. They were Mothim. Dawn's Burmy evolved into a Wormadam; since she was green she was the Plant Cloak form so she was a bug/grass type.

"Wow, I finally have a Mothim." Cheryl said, happily.

Ash looked Mothim up on the Pokedex.

"Mothim, the Moth Pokemon and the evolved form of a male Burmy. It loves the honey of flowers and steals the honey collected by Combee."

Ash saw on his Pokedex that Mothim now knew Confusion, Poison Powder, Gust and Psybeam.

"Now that I have a Mothim, I can search for the enchanted honey." Cheryl said.

With Mothim's sense of smell, the search for the enchanted honey had now begun.
