Valley Windworks

After the Pokemon contest ended, the gang continued their journey. But first Ash had something to do. He had been thinking about evolving his Togetic, Murkrow and Misdreavus and he called Prof. Oak about it.

"I think it's a good idea to evolve those three Ash." Prof. Oak said. "Togetic, Murkrow and Misdreavus are strong and ready to evolve."

He called Togetic, Murkrow and Misdreavus over so Ash could talk to them.

"Hey Togetic, Misdreavus and Murkrow." Ash said. "I want to ask you three if you wish to evolve into Togekiss, Mismagius and Honchkrow?"

Prof. Oak showed the Pokemon pictures of Togekiss, Mismagius and Honchkrow. Togetic, Murkrow and Misdreavus took a look and said that they did want to evolve. So Prof. Oak sent them over to Ash while Ash sent over Budew, Staravia and Turtwig. Then the call ended.

Ash released his Togetic, Murkrow and Misdreavus. Dawn was impressed with them. Ash checked his Pokemon. By now the Pokemon had learned lots of moves. Togetic knew Growl, Charm, Metronome, Sweet Kiss, Yawn, Safeguard, Double-Edge, Headbutt, Swift, Ancient Power, Wish, Hidden Power, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Mimic, Secret Power, Magical Leaf, Aerial Ace, Steel Wing, Silver Wind, Air Cutter, Heal Bell, Shock Wave, Heat Wave, Ominous Wind, Water Pulse, Drain Punch, Attract, Double Team, Protect and the egg move Extrasensory. Misdreavus knew Growl, Psywave, Confuse Ray, Mean Look, Pain Split, Perish Song, Psybeam, Shadow Ball, Psychic, Calm Mind, Double Team, Protect, Hidden Power, Aerial Ace, Charge Beam, Will-O-Wisp, Dark Pulse, Power Gem, Swift, Icy Wind, Ominous Wind, Sucker Punch and the egg move Screech. Murkrow knew Peck, Haze, Pursuit, Night Shade, Wing Attack, Mean Look, Icy Wind, Hidden Power, Shadow Ball, Protect, Double Team, Steel Wing, Aerial Ace, Swift, Sucker Punch, Dark Pulse, Defog, Air Cutter, Heat Wave, Ominous Wind, Roost and the egg move Drill Peck.

"Well Ash, I would say that your Pokemon are indeed ready to evolve." Brock said.

Ash took his Dusk and Shiny Stone out of his backpack. First he touched Togetic with the Shiny Stone and then Togetic glowed and evolved into Togekiss. Togekiss was bigger than Togetic with a bigger body and the arms had been replaced by big wings. The triangle designs on her body were smaller full shaped triangles, with no holes in the middle. She had a tail of three feathers and three spikes on the top of her head. One spike had a red tip, the other was pure white and the third spike had a blue tip.

"Wow, what a cute Pokemon." Dawn said.

"You okay, Togekiss?" Ash asked.

Togekiss nodded yes and nuzzled him. While stroking Togekiss on the head, Ash checked her out on the Pokedex and saw that she now knew four more moves; Extreme Speed, Aura Sphere, Air Slash and Sky Attack.

"Impressive." Ash smiled.

Next Ash touched Misdreavus with the Dusk Stone and Misdreavus evolved into a Mismagius. Mismagius was a purple witch-like Pokemon with a lighter shade of purple markings. Her head looked like a witch's hat and the rest of her body looked like a cloak. Her mouth was shaped like the letter w and her eyes were the same as they were when she was Misdreavus and there were three red spheres around her chest that looked like jewels.

"Nice." Tomo said.

Ash saw on his Pokedex that Mismagius knew a new move; Magical Leaf.

Then at last Ash touched Murkrow with the Dusk Stone and he evolved into a Honchkrow. Honchkrow was a big bird with a bigger body, big feet and bigger wings. The top of his head looked like a fedora hat with spikes at the back. Honchkrow had a white and prominent crest of feathers on his chest and it looked like a beard and on the inside of his wings there were red feathers. There were also red feathers at the end of his tail. Ash saw on his Pokedex that Honchkrow now knew Night Slash, Sky Attack and Super Power.

"Wow, you three are amazing in your new forms." Ash said.

Togekiss, Honchkrow and Mismagius were happy that they evolved. Then Ash returned them, sent them back to Prof. Oak and brought back Staravia, Turtwig and Budew.

"Well with that now over let's start heading to Eterna City." Brock said.

"Hold on a minute." Dawn said. "There's something I want to do first."

Dawn explained that she wanted to go to the Valley Windworks. The Valley Windworks was a power plant east of Floaroma Town, where they made electricity with wind power.

"Once a week a swarm of Drifloon end up flying there and it gives trainers a chance to catch them." Dawn said. "And the swarm will be here today so I want to get one."

Tomo looked at Drifloon on the Pokedex.

"Drifloon, the Balloon Pokemon. A Pokemon formed by the spirits of people and Pokemon. It loves damp, humid seasons."

Drifloon were purple with two small black eyes, a yellow cross on the face, hair that looked like a cloud and it had two tentacles with yellow heart shapes at the end. It also looked like a balloon.

"Wow, I want one too." Tomo said.

Ash and Brock wanted to check it out too, so the first stop was the Valley Windworks.

When the gang arrived, the owner of the power plant welcomed them. He kept an eye on trainers when they turned up to catch a Drifloon, and he made sure that no one caught more than one, especially a whole swarm. The rule was to catch one Drifloon per week. It wasn't long until the swarm of Drifloon turned up and Dawn used her Piplup to catch a Drifloon and Tomo used Growlithe to catch one. Dawn and Tomo were happy with their new captures.

Satisfied now that Dawn and Tomo each captured a Drifloon from the Valley Windworks, the gang could head to Eterna City.
