To Expect The Un-Expected!

The story of a young trainer



Prologue


Diary


4 June, 1804


“I am writing this in a cave near Halletown…the huge monsters are destroying everything! My farm, house, and my family have been killed by these monsters. I was in Fallabor Town when the flying monster striked. Our Rhino Tanks and the 7377 Helicopters have failed us….we have no shelter…The strange, old saint’s predictions have finally come true….now he is saying that there is no end to this….unless we push the red monster in the Fallobor Volcanoes and the blue monster in the Pacifidic Ocean….but there’s nothing against those monsters… the saint also said that if we can find the three twin legends, they can help us….but how? Nobody knows anything about them.. What are we going to do? My nuclear inventions have also failed me… I cannot do a thing here but watch the two monsters destroying Hoenn and pray for my life!”


6 June, 1804


“Today, as I awoke I saw heavy smoke coming from the Chamber Factory….the monsters have destroyed that factory as well….that’s my guess…I am now really starving and there’s no sign of food around here. As I went deep into the cave this afternoon, I was surprised to see something written on the wall…..in strange language consisting of different types of tiny squares….wait, I have seen that before…yes, that looks like the prescribe the old saint had shown us…..to find the way to the three legendary twin pokemon…..I cannot read the strange language….I have to get the old saint here, somehow…but what if he is dead? No, I must go, and find him, if he is in this world…”


10 June, 1804

“After many difficulties, I have finally found the old saint…he was in the Pokemon Center near Fallobar Town. The Pokemon Center was safe from the hungry pokemons as it was located deep in the forest. I took the old saint and went to the cave….he read the prescribe easily and it said, “The Rock Legendary twin is asleep in the Chamber of Treasure.” Our hopes were alive again. Both of us explored the whole cave but found nothing.”



20 June, 1804

“Yes! Hoenn is free! It all seemed a nightmare. But now, everything is normal, except every family has lost someone in the war between the two unknown pokemon. The General Stores have been destroyed; The World Trade Center building in Rustboro has been shattered into pieces. All of Hoenn is damaged. It would take decades to recover. My Laboratory is nowhere to be seen. After we found the Rock twin pokemon the cave was beginning to fall down, but we escaped as I used my Charizard for help. Then at the speed of light, the Rock Legendary pokemon escaped the cave and vanished in the forest. Then, after few days some people saw the three twin legendary pokemon, with their special powers, forcing the red pokemon to fall deep into Fallobor Volcanoes. Then the flying pokemon also disappear in the Pacifidic Ocean. Then, the three legendary twin pokemon headed towards their unknown destinations. The President of Hoenn, Sam Misher, announced the new Pokemon League which enabled kids of 12 or older to join the Pokemon League and fight with their pokemon in order to protect Hoenn. Now, I am looking for a rising future ahead of me………”




8 April, 2004


The lovely, fresh winds are of the spring are passing through the small town of Little Root. There is a blue, flat board in front of the town which reads ‘Little Root Town, Your journey Awaits You!’. Little Root, the smallest, but indeed, the most beautiful city of Hoenn. It perfectly fits the requirements of a growing city with no over population, pollution, or other social problems. It is the best place for people who are passive and wants to live in a peaceful life. There are only few buildings in the town, including the Pokemon Center, a Poke Mart, the Sheraton Hotel and the famous "Prof. Birch's Laboratory,” a famous pokemon researcher’s Laboratory. Many green forests surround the town on east and west sides. On the northern side, there is a, smooth prostrate road known as Road 101, which leads to the town of Oldale. There is also a river south of the town known as "Carvanha River". It is obvious that the river is always full of Carvanhas. It is also an ideal place for fishing and to enjoy the fresh air. Across the River, lay the Johto region, which is smaller then Hoenn.

There are only few houses in Little Root. One of them belongs to Mr. Kamil, the local businessman who owns the Poke Mart. He usually buys his Poke Mart utilities from the big cities such as Rustboro and sometimes Oldale, and then provides them to the people of Little Root. Mr. Kamil lives with his four children and his wife, Ms. Ruby. His oldest son, Wasif, used to be a pokemon trainer, but he quitted after winning in the Hoenn League. His second oldest son, Nabeel, is 13 years old and is waiting for Prof. Birch to give him his starter pokemon so he can join the Pokemon League. His other two brothers, Ashar who is 7, and Hammad, who is 6, are attending the local Pokemon School. Nabeel is a high moral kid and too determined to be a Pokemon League Champion. This story revolves around Nabeel, his journey, his goals, and his dreams.......

Chapter 1: AN UN-EXPECTED MATCH!


"Go pokeball", Nabeel says as he throws a pokeball in the air, but as he throws the pokeball, the ball simply floats in the air, and then falls down, buzzing!

“What the....” Nabeel shrieks as he wakes up because of the Electrode alarm buzzing. He turns the alarm off, and peeks at the clock. “Ohh, its just 8,“ he thinks while laying down on his bed. He thinks about his upcoming journey, which is the only topic he can think of.

--------------

Nabeel is a 5"2, little fat, 13-year old boy with black hairs and black eyes. His skin color is fair brown, and he is mixed colored. He graduated from a educational school in June 2001. He then attended a pokemon school for two years, and graduated this summer. He is a really smart student with a great attitude. He adores everybody, even youngsters. He is a cricket-lover, a sports that is similar to baseball. He loves to read books, hang on the computer, play cricket, and play with his brother's Skitty. He has an amicable personality.

You can trust on him for almost everything. However, if you mess with him, he has skills to demolish you! He thinks from his brain, not from his heart. He believes that if you try to do something with your heart and you are determined, you will be successful. He is always in a cool mood and he tries to control his temper. Like everybody else, he does have a funny side. He loves to make people laugh and entertain them. He is just one of the normal kid in the block.
---------------

Meanwhile, Nabeel gets up from his bed and walks toward the bathroom. As he closes the bathroom door, he brushes his teeth, takes a shower, and then changes into his white Nike shirt and blue jeans. He exits the bathroom, and come across the mirror, placed above his studying table. He combs his hairs on the right to right, and the ones at the left to left. He then fixes the bed and put his watch on his left wrist. As he races downstairs, he sights his parents and his older brother eating breakfast. On the breakfast table is some apple pie, mix fruits, some omelet, and two jugs half-full of Orange and Apple Juice.

"Hi dad, hi mom!" he exclaims as he sits on the white wood, plastic chair.

"Hi Son!" His dad welcomes him back. He is eating mix fruit and some Apple Pie.

"Hi honey!" My mom says unearthly. She is drinking some Apple Juice now that she just finished her Omelet and Apple pie. Nabeel sees an empty chair beside his brother. His brother is eating, and also feeding his perky Skitty.

He then looks up at his favorite dish, Mixed Fruits. He thinks about it for a moment. It is his mom's original, and newest recipe. She discovered it, and it is pretty popular around Little Root because of the fact that it is really healthy for older people. It consists of as many fruits you want to add. But, his mom usually uses apples, oranges, pineapples, bananas, guavas, mangos, and papayas. She then cut them in tiny pieces. Finally, she adds some sugar and salt in the bowl. It is his favorite dish out of Ms. Ruby’s hundreds of recipes.

In Nabeel’s family, they don't talk a lot when eating. Nabeel slightly takes the omelet bowl and puts some omelet in his plate with a large size tablespoon. He takes a piece of thin bread, round in shape, and eats his omelet with it.... “Ahh... delicious” he exclaims. After a few minutes, the plate is empty, and then he eats Mix Fruit. He really like the apples and the bananas in the nutritional meal. After a few minutes, his brother, Wasif, and his dad leaves the breakfast table, after finished their drinks. He then hurries up and drinks his apple juice. His dad leaves the house toward his Pokemart, while Wasif leaves the house to train his pokemon. His mom is busy reading a new recipe book that she ordered from Rustboro.

After finishing his breakfast, he washes his hand and starts doing his daily chores, which includes cleaning his room, washing Breakfast dishes, and feeding his brother’s pokemon. He hurries up and finishes the first two chores, and then heads toward the backyard, to feed his brother’s pokemon. His brother, who is a pokemon trainer, competed in the Hoenn League in April, which continued for over two months. He was rated among top 50, which was a great honor. He started his journey two years ago, in 2001, and now he is at Siddiqui residence, training with his pokemon. He will soon go to the Johto region, to collect the badges their and participate in the league. His pokemon include Swampert, Skitty, Swellow, Roselia, Pocheyna, Duskull, Crawdant, Nidoking, Golbat, and several others. He quickly fed the Crawdant pond, Nidoking, lying beside a tree, and Golbat, playing with other Golbats.

He then heads outside so he can help his dad run the store. As I walks outside, he feels the cool breezes of the late summer winds. The little town just looks like a big village, with houses on both sides, and then a forest on the north. As Nabeel exits the door, he sights his brother training with his Swampert and Skitty. Swampert is shorter than Wasif but is more powerful for sure. He is blue in size, standing up on his two feet, with dark blue rubber horns on his head, and at his rear end. This pokemon has orange sides on his face. Skitty, on the other hand, is pretty small, but is cuter than Swampert. Her body is a mixture of orange and pink, she has a long, think tail. She has small horns on the side colored the same as her body.

Suddenly, Nabeel sights a trainer, who looks almost the same as Nabeel, coming toward him. He is almost as tall as Nabeel, with black hairs and brown eyes and is wearing black T-shirt, along with white shorts, which read "Adidas" on the bottom. He has his name on shirt, which reads “Dan.” Suddenly, he clamors at Nabeel’s brother and yells, "Hi, you over there," he points to Wasif, as the experienced trainer looks back at him.

"I challenge you to a pokemon battle... wadda you say?"

“Uhh, I don’t feel like battling right now, so find someone else,” he calmly replies as the trainer looks at Nabeel.

"Okay, what about you over there." Dan yells to Nabeel as he gets pretty nervous.
He vacillates a bit, but then answers, "I don't have any pokemon.”

"What? okay then.... I will find another trainer," he comments as he heads toward the road.

”Uhh...thanks god... What would happen if I had any pokemon to battle with.. I wouldn't stand a chance against that trainer,” Nabeel anticipates as he hears his brother shouting...

"Hi! wait a minute" he bawls the trainer as he quickly turns around and answers, “What is it?

"How about you battle my brother Nabeel" Wasif suddenly squeaks as Nabeel’s heartbeat crosses 100.

"Me, But I don't have any pokemon," Nabeel says, innocently.

"Oh, don't worry, you can borrow some of mine," Wasif offers him.

Nabeel is totally confuse; if to accept the offer or not.

If I have to be a pokemon master, I have to fight challenges and have faith in myself,” he thinks like a trainer and then replies, “Okay, but make it short, will ya?”

“Okay, how about 2 on 2 battle?" The trainer asks.

"Okay... No problem with me!" Nabeel replies, confidently. He thinks that his brother’s pokemon must be tough. They are standing in the middle of the road, which is pretty empty. The street ends on the far right, after two houses. Nobody is seen in the street, which merges into another one going east to west.

“Let’s go then, it would be a piece of cake for Dan,” he comments aggressively. Wasif quickly hands Nabeel two pokeballs.

"Ready?" He asks Nabeel as he nods.

"You can go first," he suggests as Nabeel picks up one of the two pokeballs Wasif gave him, and then throws the gray colored pokemon thinking that the pokemon inside must be a staunch. With a gray beam of light, the pokeball lands on the ground as a dog-like pokemon covers the area.

"Aaaaoooow," the pokemon howls in a deep voice.

"Ohh! So a Poocheyna, lets go Butterfree" the trainer orders as he throws a white and purple pokeball which lands on the ground, opening, and then releasing a butterfly pokemon, with enchanting wings and a beautiful body.

"free," she cries.

"Nabeel, that my newest caught Poocheyna" My brother says conveniently.

"What? Newest caught? Does that mean that you have not trained it yet?" He asks unbelievingly. He was actually shocked.

"Yup! That's right. I want you to work hard and then win.," He nods as he encourages him.

"Well, let's go then. Butterfree, start off with your Confusion attack!" Dan orders impatiently as the butterfly pokemon looks at the howling pokemon. After a few moments, several blue ultrasonic waves penetrates and then thumps Pocheyna in a second. Pocheyna falls down, but then quickly gets up.

"Pocheyna, use your bite attack," Nabeel commands quickly as Pocheyna runs up to Butterfree and then jumps up with his mouth open, ready to bite her. But, suddenly Butterfree flies up in a matter of seconds, dodging the attack.

"Butterfree, use your wing attack," Dan says steadily. The flying pokemon flies toward Pocheyna and then as she gets close to Pocheyna, her wings glows, and then she strikes Pocheyna. He tries to dodge the attack, but barely succeeds.

"Pocheyna, hurry up and use your Take Down," Nabeel orders as he thinks of an attack.

"Butterfree quick, fly up," Dan says. But, Butterfree got really close to Pocheyna when she used the wing attack, and Pocheyna is pretty fast as well. The attack results in a direct hit as Butterfree falls down to ground, but after a few moments, she recovers.

"Butterfree, use your sleep powder," Dan authenticates devotedly.

"Pocheyna, lay down and cover up your face,” Nabeel thinks quickly as he remembers that sleep powder only works when the powder enters your nose, eyes, or mouth. The attack fails as Butterfree gets back to her normal position.

"Pocheyna, use your take down,” Nabeel orders confidently. Pocheyna runs toward his opponent, but surprisingly, by the time it gets there, Butterfree moves out of the way and then uses a hard tackle

Pocheyna falls down and faints, eventually. Nabeel examines him for few moments and then returns the pokemon, "Return, Pocheyna" he returns as he points the pokeball to the pokemon and then presses the white button on it. With a black beam of light, Pocheyna returns to his pokeball, resting.

"Yay! Great job Butterfree," Dan exclaims as he hugs the female pokemon, who cheers as well. Nabeel tenses a bit, and then throws the second pokeball with a lot more courage, “Pokeball go," he vows as he throws a green pokemon in the air, revealing a pokemon which stands tall as his shoulder, with a green body. She is holding two flowers colored blue and red.

"Rose..rose," the pokemon cries her name as her beautiful eyes arouses the sweet looking Butterfree.

"Ohh! I caught Roselia for the garden in the backyard. I barely had a chance to train it. But I bet, she’s stronger than Pocheyna,” he comments as the beautiful pokemon looks ready to battle.

“What, another untrained pokemon? Crap...,” he thinks as he thinks that the pokemon would be a grass pokemon, his favorite type.

"Roselia, use your Magical Leaf," he orders as he read this attack in a book, and knew that Roselia learns it at an early stage. Roselia spins her body around, and then green colored leaves transpire out from her green body and pits Butterfree. She tried to dodge it but since the leaves were scattered through a high range. Butterfree falling down proves that the attack was a critical hit, as the bug pokemon faints.

"Wow, Roselia is really powerful," he exclaims as he looks at the experienced Roselia, adorably.

"Butterfree, you were great. Return," Dan returns his Butterfree to her pokemon with a white and light bluish beam of light.

"Go Totodile, the battle has just started," he orders as he throws a blue pokemon, revealing a blue colored small-Alligator like pokemon, with red zigzags on his back. The hyper pokemon suddenly starts to dance around.

"Toto...dile," he cries as he dance even more.

"Is this a dancing pokemon?" Nabeel asks he bursts out of laughing, causing a mayhem around the field as Totodile looks at him vigorously. The pokemon then runs toward Nabeel as Nabeel notices the danger and then starts running as well. Those two are running around, wildly as Totodile finally reaches Nabeel, biting his right leg. Dan and Wasif bursts out of laughing as Nabeel gets embarrassed.

"What... the... leave my leg you little alligator," he angers the pokemon some more as the blue pokemon holds on to his leg, biting him with his sharp teeth.

"Totodile, stop it right now," Dan orders as stops laughing. Totodile obeys and then leaves Nabeel’s leg, returning to Dan. Totodile didn’t damaged Nabeel’s leg much, but still, it hurts.

"Okay Sucker, I am gonna teach you a lesson. Roselia, magical leaf," I said awfully. Roselia spins as several green leaves burst out from her body, slamming Totodile.

"Totodile, use your water gun," Dan says plainly as Totodile sprays water from his mount toward Roselia, who manages to dodge it.

"Roselia, use your Mega Drain," Nabeel adjures. Roselia obeys his command and then focuses on Totodile, running toward him, and then drains his energy as she holds him.

"Totodile, skull bash attack," Dan authenticates, dexterously.

"Roselia, Magical Leaf attack" Nabeel orders as well. Totodile focuses on Roselia and then jounces on her as she begins to spin around, releasing dozens of green leaves. The attacks collide as there’s a big flash in middle of the field. Roselia seems to have an upper-hand since she’s a grass type, meaning she’s superior to water pokemon. But suddenly, both pokemon falls to the ground, fainting. The match results in a tie.

"Ohh! return Totodile...I sure didn’t expect that," Dan comments shockingly.

"Return Roselia," Nabeel calls the pokemon back as he feels a bit proud of himself, almost winning the battle with an experienced trainer.

"That was great, Nabeel," Wasif comments as he pats him on his back.


"Yeah, that was a good match. I didn't even had a chance against Dan," Nabeel says, resistibly. He then returns the pokeballs to his brother.

" Yeah, well I gotta go. See yall later...do know the way to Johto region?" he asks Nabeel.

"Of course. It’s just 2-minute of walking from here,” Nabeel replies as he starts walking toward the Docks Dan follows him after saying bye to Wasif.

"So, what’s your home town?” Nabeel asks as he quickly replies, “Uh.. I used to live in Rustboro.”

“Ohh, it must feel great to be in such a big city," Nabeel says as he always dreamed of going somewhere else in Rustboro besides the pokemart, where he and his dad used to get the groceries from once every two months. The pokemart there is about three times larger than Mr. Kamil’s.

"Yes it does, but its way too crowded. I like smaller cities. But there, everything you need is right away," he says as they reach the docks.

"Well, here's the boat to Johto. Just cross the Carvanha River and you will be standing in New Bark Town," Nabeel says surely.

"Well, thanks for everything.. I will never forget our match," he says as he continues his way toward the small boat, which is capable of taking 4-5 people at a time.

"Bye...," Nabeel says as he accelerates the speed boat.

"Bye..," he calls back as he sails toward the Johto region.

Nabeel waves him back and then continues back to Little Root, toward his dad's pokemart...

Last time, Nabeel battled for the first time in his life... and it was a pretty incredible battle.
Nabeel's brother let him battle with his pokemon. Nabeel's pokemon came out to be Pocheyna and Roselia.. In the first round, Butterfree beat Pocheyna, but then it lost to Roselia. Then it was a big clash between Roselia and Dan's Totodile. The result was a draw. Even the battle was a tie, Nabeel won a new friend!


CHAPTER 2: A POKE-ROBBERY!

<Narrator>

Nabeel couldn't stop thinking of the wonderful battle he had with Dan. He just couldn't wait this to his friends. He was thinking and walking when he reached his dad's pokemart, the most pedestrain place on Earth.

"Hi! Son, what's up" His dad called as Nabeel entered the average-sized building with white lights everywhere. His dad was wearing a light yellow check shirt, with his blue silk dress pant.

"Hi! Dad... guess what?" Nabeel said. He is ready to tell his about the whole battle.

"Your mom cooked a new recipe?" He said absurdly.

"Nope! I battled a trainer for the first time... and it was a tie" He said proudly. Suddenly, a pokemon holding a cordless phone came toward Mr. Kamil but he didn't notice it.

"Really?" He said peculiarly. He continued, " that means that you are all ready for your journey" Mr. Kamala said. Now he noticed that pokemon... it revealed to be a Machine!

"Hi Mach!" Nabeel said as his dad looked at the strength Machine. It is one of the two Mr. Kamil's helpers in moving things around. The other helper is Mariana.

"Ohm! Thanks Mach" Mr. Kamil said as he took the phone from Mach's hand and said "Hello", curiously.

The pokemart was used to be not so big, and his dad used to sell only stuff for pokemon trainers such as different kinds of poke ball, some pokemon medicine and some other stuff. He also used to go to Old ale for some little groceries. But since last year, they turned the Pokemart to a general store, meaning that now they sell every kind of general stuff including frozen food, drinks, home-used materials, school utensils, while also selling the usual Pokemart stuff. Now he needed to go and shop to Old ail almost every week and Rustburg once a month! Now, the store is going superb and Mr. Kamala earns more emolument than he used to with the old store.

"Ohm! Are you going to be fine? No it’s okay, Nabeel is here too. And I will get the groceries with him...No, it's okay... Bye" His dad said.

"Who was it dad?" Nabeel asked curiously. Now there is a customer coming toward the register.

"Hi! Prof.Birch, how are you doing?" Nabeel asked respectably... Prof.Birch was the most honorable man in Little Root. He was Nabeel's ideal...

"Hello Nabeel... I am so fine, what about you?" Prof.Birch replied. He was glad that respectful kids like Nabeel still exist in this world...unlike the other city kids, who love to make trouble and nudge peace-lovers all the time. Actually, he moved from Mauville City approximately three years ago. He was a professor there too at the Mauville University. So, he decided to quit teaching and just relax in a peaceful place... He thought that he can learn about pokemon habitats better in a small town than a city.

"I am fine too professor.. so have you got thestarter pokemons yet?" He asked impatiently..he thought that maybe his starter pokemon will be delivered to Prof.Birch.

"I don't need to get them from somebody. Actually, there will be dozens of pokemon here in the nearby forests... because of the fresh air and the harmonious environment. They love it over here!"He said freshly.

"Oh..well that's great... Se ya", Nabeel said to the professor as he exited the pokemart.. and took a left turn, probably toward his Laboratory.

"Dad.. you didn't told me about the phone call" Nabeel said plainly. He was eager to hear about the phone call.

"That was Chris, he said that he is unable to come to work because he is home sick" His dad said unharshly. Chris was Mr. Kamil's assistant. He used to help around the pokemart. He was a worker at the pokemart since Mr. Kamala decided to extend the store. He is friendly and a trustable guy.

"Oh, that very bad...so, you said you have to buy some groceries for the store... right?" Nabeel asked efficiently. He really wanted to go to Old ale...

"Yeah, we will leave in ten minutes!" He said intentionally. He started putting things up and after a few minutes all the lights were turned off, and there was a sign outside of the Pokemart that read "Closed for an hour".

<Nabeel>

My dad started the 4-seater Truck as I slammed the door.. Mach and Hari were sitting in the back seat... they were pretty good friends and were really energetic. They are able to knock out any pokemon with their mighty fighting moves... Hari evolved into Mariana a while ago, and we kept the same name for it.

As we enter Route 101, the direct and most convenient way to Old ale from Little Root. This area is surrounded by a forest called "Walt Lake Forest". There is a lake in the center of the forest that is as clear as a crystal. It is home to many kinds of pokemon.

"So. Do you know what pokemon are you going to get?" Dad asked me. The road is clear and there aren't any pokemon in my sight.

" Yeah! " I said expressly. Prof. Birch told me about them a little while ago. I continued, "They are Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip." I have already decided which one I am going to pick.

"Ahh! So which one are you going to choose from?. You know this isn't a eclectic situation and you have to really careful" my dad asked me another question. That is unusual! He usually doesn’t ask too many questions. But, he was in a loquacious mood today.

"I am going to choose Treecko, the grass pokemon... He has unbelievable attacks... its totally awesome!" I couldn't stop telling my dad how I feel about Treecko.. I continued, "and besides, I love grass types" I said finally.

"Well, I hope both of yall get along just fine!" Dad said. Now there was a sign that read "Old ale: 2 miles".

"Yeah.. I hope so" I said as I turned around to check on Mach and Hari. They usually stay quiet and exuberant.

"Jimmy is going to start the journey with me". I said eminently. Jimmy is my buddy since Kindergarten. He and his family moved here from Fortree City. He used to tell me a lot of about Fortree and how it is different from Little Root. He also imparted be about his adventures in the city.

"That's good. He will be able regale you with his knowledge about pokemon" Dad was really impressed by Jimmy. Jimmy just knew everything about pokemon. Even, I can't beat him. Dad continued as he I saw the Old ale welcome sign, "He will be a superb partner to have along your journey".

"Yeah, and I will learn so much with him". I said. Actually, I was too influenced by his studies about pokemon.

"Here we are sons" Dad said as he turned the Dodge Truck off and then exited the door. Old ale is a little larger of Little Root. It has a pokemon center, a pokemart, few houses, and a stupendous building known as "The Ancient Ruins Center". The city created the center when they found dozens of Ancient Ruins and clues about ancient and unknown pokemon.

"Hi Mr. Roger" I said as I entered the Pokemart. The pokemart looks almost like my dad's pokemart except for some minor things. Mr.Rogers is the owner of my the store. He was the one who gave us the idea to convert our pokemart in a General store. He is a really chummy and a beneficial guy.

"Hi ya Nabeel. Hello Kamala" He answered. The store is busy and there are about three or four customers in my sight.

" Hello... Roger, how's everything going?" Dad asked lightly .

"Everything's fine... what about Little Root?" He asked. The store is really capacious and contains a lot of stuff.

"Little Root is same.. peaceful." Dad replied as he went to the Poke ball section to buy some balls.

Mr. Rogers got busy with customers as I helped my dad pick up the utensils needed.

After 10 minutes, we are done with the grocery and I am placing it on the register when suddenly we hear a huge explosion...

"What..what was that?" I said shockingly as we exited the pokemart.

"I don't know.. let's check it out", Mr. Rogers said as he ran toward The Ancient Ruins Center. We followed him and we see a huge whole in the middle of the vast building. Everybody is running crazy and nowhere....

"Let's go inside the center", my dad said but was interrupted by a tall man wearing glasses speaking on a microphone.

"Everybody, go back to where you were. This explosion was only an science experiment about the fossils.. We are sorry for this.." The announcer spoke clearly and gently.

"Ohm...comes on, that was nothing." Somebody said as people started to get back to work....

"Let's go!" Mr. Rogers said roughly. He started walking back to his store...

Dad also started walking toward the pokemart and called me to follow.

I was about to turn around when I looked at a scientist from an open window. I saw that his hands and legs are tied around and his mouth was taped !

Then suddenly, somebody shut the window up.

I walked back to the pokemart.

"Dad, I think something fishy is going on at The Ancient Ruins Center. I saw a scientist tied around with a rope. And then, somebody closed the window." I said stormily. I was sure that some evil play was going on in the Old ale's famous building.

"Son, are you sure?" Dad said. He also looked suspicious of what the announcer said.

"Yeah dad, 100 percent," I said surely.

"Okay then, let's go!" He said as he took Mach's and Hari's poke ball.

We headed toward the back door of the center.

"Stay quiet!" Dad warned me. The back door was surprisingly open. We sneaked inside of it and saw three scientists tied down like the one I saw was. There were also two angry looking people who were wearing a blue pant a blue shirt. At the middle of the Shirt, there was a large "A" written.

"Could this be? The return of Team Aqua?," I asked dad as we hid behind the big drums.

"I am afraid so son," Dad said . We are still susurrus to each other.

"Tell us where the fossils are or you are bye-bye," the woman with golden hairs roared.

"No, forget about them," A scientist with black glasses .

"Okay then, go Poocheyna," The other male Team Aqua member bellowed. The Pocheyna barked, "Ooch" twice.

"Pocheyna, use Tackle," the Aqua member ordered.

"Go! Vigoroth," Suddenly a voice came from the other side of the room, behind the table and there stood a long, thick, black hair boy. He is wearing a long sleeved black T-shirt with silky black pants.. and also a pair of sunglasses.

A pokemon appears that looked like a bigger Gorilla. It has a white body with few brown lines.

"Hi.. what's going on? The male member said shockingly.

"Vigoroth, use your slash attack" the trainer said. Vigoroth used its nails to scratch Pocheyna, fainting it.

"Return Pocheyna..". I looked more interestedly as I put my elbow on the drums, causing them to fall.

All of the drums fell, revealing my dad and me.

"Welcome to the party" the female said. She threw a poke ball in the air.

"Go, Carvanha! Use your water gun", She yelled. A fish looking appears with scary and big teeth. it then squirted a Water gun at Vigoroth. Vigorth took the damage but countered with Slash attack, fainting it too. Both of Aqua pokemon looks fairly weak.

"Its okay, we will get yall next time," both of them yelled as they exited the building then flying away with their rockets.

"Thank you," the scientists said as we exited the building.

"No problem...I was here as soon as I heard the explosion. Then I hided here till the right time to act" the trainer explained. He followed us.

"Hi... who are yall" He asked. Now, he returned his Vigoroth back to its poke ball.

"I am Nabeel, he is my dad.. we live in little Root. We came here to get some groceries for our Pokemart" I accounted.

"Oh! I am Shade... I just started my pokemon journey a week ago... I have earned a badge and I came here to look if there's a gym here. But I was going back to Petalburg, until I heard the explosion..." He responded. Now we are standing in the middle of Old ale.

"Ah. you are a great trainer.. I am also starting my journey in two weeks." I said proudly.

"Thanks, that's great. Good luck on your journey...Bye, .gotta go" He said as he went west toward Petalburg..

"Bye.. " I yelled back, Dad was waiting for me, so I ran toward the Truck...

"Nice trainer ..huh?" He asked. Now he started the Truck and took a U-Turn toward LittleRoot.

"Yeah.." I said as the Sun went down.

We reached Little Root in few minutes... I was really tired. So I ate dinner and went straight to my bed... dreaming about the upcoming adventures..

Next Chapter: Night Before the Journey!

Bye...

don't forget to post your comments!

[DannyBoy]

That was a ok chapter. seen a couple spelling mistakes. In the begginning you might want to fix the word dad it says dads not dad. Its when Nabeel talks to his dad. Length was pretty good and so was description. Still its just the beginning and you will get better every chapter. Trust me it took me awhile with my first story. It is a lil un-original with the proffesor and starters thing but its ok as long as you dont make this the same as the game or show. I think I said that before but yea I hope you dont think I am being mean I am just being onest so you become a good writer. keep it up!

[Venasaur89]

Thanx X-Tina... CAn you explain wat you said about the spelling mistake?

I am trying to keep this thing original.... can you help me and give me some ideas??

Thanx.......

[DannyBoy]

Ok one thing that I noticed was


"Hi! Dads... guess what" Nabeel said. He is ready to tell his about the whole battle.

You spelt dad wrong, its not a big thing but thats one word. Also there should be a question mark after what. Then on a few other quotes, at the end of a asentance on wuotes put a coma if it would be a period and a question mark or explination mark if its supposed to be there.

Just a little things could make the puncuation and spelling better. I just wanted to point that out before others said something so you could fix them. Ok?

If you have anymore questions or if you want help my sn is DANNIFRMDABLOCK on aim or just pm me. Hope this helped.:yes:

[Venasaur89]

Thanx... Hopefully, I won't repeat these mistakes in the next chapter...

By-The-Way, do you how can I change the thread title?? Because I wanna make it kinda attractive!

[DannyBoy]

Ok, if you go to writers lounge there is a thread called Thread name change or something like that go there and post there and the title you want and one of the mods will do it.

[Venasaur89]

Thanx.......... Next chapter will be up on Monday or Tuesday...

[Venasaur89]

Hi guys! This is the same fic... I just decided to change the title becuase it was really plain! Well the next chapter is coming up probably tommorow or Wednesday... and its SNOTS FUBAR's turn.. so he will appear in the chapter : The night before the Journey!

[Venasaur89]

So... I will post the next chapter as soon I return!

BYe

Have anyone ever been to disney before?? I am excited...

[Venasaur89]

Hi people, sorry forbeing late, I was on vacation....

Its Snot Fubar's turn... so he will appear in this chapter.

Last time, Nabeel and his dad went to the Pokemart in Oldale along with Mach and Hari. A huge explosion from the city’s famous building, Ancient Ruins Center shocked them. The scientists there were captured by Team Aqua, the evil group of members that were supposed to be banned a year ago. But, the historic place was saved by a young trainer name Shade. After saying their byes to Shade, our group headed back toLittle Root and Nabeel was as hungry as ever, and then fell asleep...




-------------------------------------


The Night before the Journey!

<Narrator>

Days passed as Nabeel waited meekly for 16th July, the day that he is supposed to get his trainer license. Today is 15th, meaning the night before his journey begins! He awakes, not knowing where he is, either in his dream or in his bed.

"Ah! Pretty delightful dream... guess my dream's going to turn into real life." Nabeel said frankly as he tripped down the bunk bed stairs as usual and then headed for the bathroom. As he went to the bathroom, he saw 9:30 AM at the clock and smiled, thinking he was up late once again. He went toward the bathroom....but is stopped by my mom's gently voice.

"Honey... wake up, time for breakfast!" She said with her unique voice.

He turned around and said, "Mom.... I am already up, now I am going to the bathroom,".

"Okay son...hurry up" Mom said as he entered the same old bathroom and went for his lucky blue-colored toothbrush. He brushed his teeth, changed into his black pajamas followed by his large sized Black shirt that read "Siddiqui family Reunion" in the sparkling Blue color. He then exited the bathroom toward downstairs. His brother, Wasif, is still sleeping in his room since it is Saturday. Although, his dad is downstairs, watching TV.

He raced downstairs and then said hello to his mom...

"Hi mom..." He said mannerfully. His mom said hello back and then entered the kitchen... She started cooking Nabeel's' breakfast, that includes Omelet and cereal.

Nabeel entered the TV lounge and saw a weird looking guy on the TV.

"Hi... dad what's up on the TV" He asks as he sits on the cozy sofa, which Mr. Kamil bought upon returning from the Disney World in Mossdeep. It is Hoenn's most attractive venue. It is the place for fun and enjoys for the whole family! They even receive visitors from Kanto, Johto, and the hundred Islands. These islands are out numbered and are uncountable. This diverse region is known as "Bright Isles". There are many legends about these unspoiled isles. They are the ideal place for pokemon to live and be trained, especially for water types.

"Hi son... that's the Team Aqua member who tried to sneak into the Disney World headquarters." Dad said peculiarly. He is sitting on the same piece of the blue-sofa across from Nabeel.

"Ohh.. what they are going to do with him?" Nabeel asked primarily. He then saw the picture of the Devon Corporation's President on the "Little Root Journal", the local Newspaper.

"They are currently investigating from him by using a Hypno." Dad said remarkably as he took a sip of his hot Tea. Mr. Kamil loved the tea and drinks it about three or four times a day.

"How can a pokemon help investigate...If it was a Growlithe or a Houndour, I would have understood that they can use their strength to hurt the crook into telling. But, what can a poor-strength pokemon like Hypno do?

He is surprised that they are using a scornful Hypno...Actually, the fact is, and he never liked a Psychic pokemon... They are simply unforcable. They use their brain power, not their Body power to fight.

"Son...Hypno uses its psychic powers to find out what's in the bandit's brain, followed by putting a cop into sleeping", dad explained. It sounded weird to Nabeel that how everything is going. His dad continued, "Then, whatever Hypno finds from the crook's brain, it appears as a dream to the sleeping cop", He finished. Dad is assuredly a great explainer. Last Year, in the Poke-Learner Conference, his speech on getting pokemon healthy, won the 1st prize and the Gold Medal.

Nabeel is pretty amazed how everything works. Suddenly he looks up at the TV and sights a boy of his age and a friendly looking Bulbasaur beside it. It must be his pokemon.

"People, this is Cory White, the saver of the Disney World Head Quarters. This young man is responsible for catching the jeopardous member of the violent team of Aqua" The reporter said excitedly. The boy stood tall as the police officer beside him. He is wearing red sweatshirt and Blue Jeans along with a black hat turned backwords. He is showing off with his sunglasses in a cloudy day. He got his face up, like he is really proud of himself.

The reporter continued with a announcing voice, " This boy was heading towards the populated Disney Store that suddenly he noticed a man wearing a white coat, examining the atmosphere, from the narrow opening of the street, that flatten to the back door of the Disney World Head Quarters. The scientist-disguise looked suspicious to him so he followed him as the Aqua member tried to break the door with his Sand slash. The boy wasted no time and raced toward the local Police Department and notified them of what he sighted" The reporter took a long breath and then continued, "As soon as the brave polive officers got to the check point, the crook had already broken into the Treasury Room, then the officers caught him. Of course the zealous criminal tried to escape, but was terminated by the long vines of powerful Bulbasaur belonging to Cory. The story comes to end. We will be back in a minute. Until then, enjoy the ads", She finished as a pokemon Breeding center ad appeared on the TV.

Nabeel is now sitting on the sofa, still thinking about the criminal and the trainer. He is impresses by the trainer, but thinks he is over-confident.

"Ohh....that's awesome. This is a true example of how one can save the day" the callow trainer also inspires Dad.

"Yeah...That trainer sure looks strong" Mom said as she entered the TV lounge and sits on the smallest piece of the blue sofa.

Nabeel is still thinking about the trainer.

"I bet he is not as strong as he looks", he thought.

"Who was that trainer on the TV? Wasif asked as he entered unnoticeably. He is wearing his gray Nike his sports pajamas with his white T-shirt.

"Hi son, he was the one who notified the police of the wrong-doings of the dangerous Team Aqua member" Dad answered lightly.

"Why do people now a days hate each other so much?" Mom said touchingly. She is a really peace-loving woman, with a sweet voice.

"This can cause a destruction and the end of mankind" Dad said in a worrying voice.

A small tone was heard alarming that the stove has stopped. Ms. Ruby ran toward the kitchen and quickly turned the stove off. She took a plate and then shifted the scrubby Omelet from the frying pan to the glass plate. She then took out a piece of Roti, a bigger and thinner form of bread, made from flour cooked over the frying recipe. This is one of her own recipe too. She placed both of the dishes in separate plates and then served them to Nabeel, who ate them like a Pig!

After eating his breakfast, Nabeel watched some of his favorite cartoons on the TV, which includes Spider Man, X-Men, and Batman. All of these character are super heroes and are widely known among kids and adults.

At about 1:00 pm, when Nabeel heads to the front of the house after watering the plants in the backyard garden, he saw Wasif and the boy of his age are battling! The teenager boy have blonde hairs, green eyes, and is wearing a blue pair of jeans with a plain black shirt.

A athletic Swampert is standing in front of Wasif, while a Manectric is the trainer's pokemon.

"Swampert, use your Mud Shot attack" Wasif roared as Swampert used a light water gun at the ground, then jumping at it several times, making a small puddle of mud, then he slammed the dirty mud toward the dog-like pokemon, who tried to dodge it, but is failed due to the tremendous speed of Mud Shot. The attack did a lot of damage, and Manectric falls down, but shows his great strengthness by getting up quickly.

"Ahh...electric types will fail against a Swampert. Manee, use your electric-tackle" The trainer yelled unheedingly. Sparks covers Manectric charges and his body. Suddenly, he heads toward the lazy Swampert and tackles him swiftly. The attack is a direct hit, but Swampert barely moved.

"Swampert, use your earthquake!" Wasif ordered as Swampert clobbers the ground wildly with his hands, tail, and his almighty legs. This process created a huge earthquake, causing Manectric and the trainer to fall down. The trainer got up soon, but the Manectric is fainted!

"Yen.. Go Swammy" Nabeel cheered for his brother. He calls Swampert as "Swammy" since he never liked the name: Swampert.

"Return Manectric" The trainer said undexterously. He was feeling really proud at the beginning but had to lose hope against the mighty Swampert. Swampert used to be a Mudkip when Wasif left for the journey. Then after winning in the Hoenn League he proudly showed everybody his potential Swampert.

"Go, Cascoon" The trainer yelled in a low voice, as if he has no hopes left. A white, oval-shaped pokemon appeared from the pokeball. The pokemon is half asleep, and his eyes are half-way shut!

"Cascoon, please wake up!" The trainer begged in a pathetic voice. But, Cascoon refused to wake up by fully shutting his eyes.

"Swampert, finish this sleepy-head by a puny water gun" Wasif growled. Swampert used the most amount of water he can shoot at the poor Cascoon, almost fainting it. Suddenly he started glowing! An ugly looking Butterfly likes pokemon flied in the fresh air, breaking from the rock-hard shell.

"Tux..tux" The pokemon cried. He looks like a Beautifly, except for the ugly body and his wings located below his main body.

"What... Cascoon evolved?" The trainer said surprisingly as he hugged the new Dustox.

"Okay Dustox, use your Silver Wind attack" The trainer said, trying to hide his emotions and getting back to the battle. Dustox rolled in the air, causing a silver, mystical wind around the whole portion in front of the house. It is really hard to see anything at all, like it is fog, in winter days. Swampert is confused of what is going on around him and uses a huge Hydro Pump at Dustox, causing it to fall down and faint!

"You did pretty great Dustox, return" The trainer said happily. He must have been hoping for the slumbery Cascoon to evolve.

"That was a great battle.. It's pretty excited to see a pokemon evolve during a battle" Wasif said encouraging the trainer.

They said bye to each other and the trainer went the north, toward Oldale.

"Great battle bro...." Nabeel said as Wasif turned around.

"Ahh, thanks.. superb job Swampert, return" Wasif said as Swampert is vanished in his water ball.

Both of them returned to the house. Nabeel played some video games after lunch. Then he did some work on his computer. He loves to discuss different topics of Internet Forums. He also has many friends on the internet.

At about 6:00 PM, after his studying time was over, everybody is dressing up to get some trainer essentials for Nabeel from Oldale. They drove to Oldale in Mr. Kamil's red van. They bought this van back three years ago, when their family couldn't fit in the medium sized Mazda car. They bought the van for $6,000 in great condition.

In Oldale, they headed straight to the Trainer Essentials store and bought a Poke Nav, a backpack and two new wheels for Nabeel's surprised bicycle. They also bought some food from the Daily Mart in Oldale.

After getting back from Oldale, Nabeel sat in his room alone, watching TV. The channel is Nabeel's favorite, Poke-Trainer. This channel is especially designed for pokemon trainers. This is the channel where they aired the whole Hoenn League competition. They also show some real pokemon battles from different tournaments. But, there's a special show every week at 8:00 PM on Saturdays, its called "Night Before Your Journey"! It's for kids who have yet to start their journey. The show moves to every city and town every week. This time, the show is being broadcast in Sootopolis, the city that is surrounded by water.

"Hello everybody, this is Tim Thomson, your broadcaster, and is glad to have you" The announcer spoke in a loud, but a clear voice. The announcer is wearing a blue shirt with gray pairs of Jeans. he continued, "Today we are here at the watery city of Sootopolis that is famous for many legends about water pokemon. Kyogre, the legendary pokemon is said to guard this city with its crushing, mystical powers. This tremendous pokemon is known as the father of Water pokemon. Well, anyways let's move on to the main topic. Let's go to Dr. Red wood's laboratory to see what pokemon are available as starters. We will be back in a minute, and you better not touch your remote!" He said in a interesting voice.

Nabeel is getting more excited, but suddenly he is interrupted by a knock at the door.

He gets up quickly and opens the door. There stood a boy as tall as Nabeel with black hairs, green eyes, and a athletic body. He is wearing black sporty shorts with a blue shirts, that have red stripes.

"Hi Jimmy...what's up?" Nabeel said regularly.

"Ready for your journey, boy?" Jimmy said freely as he sits on the brown couch located near the sofa.

"Yup, got my back pack and my pokenav ready" He answers. He sits on the bed and takes a pillow and then lean back at it.

"Oh...hate this show, change the channel!" Jimmy said in a funny tone.

"Oh no, you are not going to change the channel" Nabeel said as both of them fight a friendly-fight over the remote control.

Suddenly, they are stopped when the alarming voice of Jim Thompson hits their ears.

"Hello guys, welcome back. Right now, we are at inside of Dr. Redwood's laboratory. Let's go talk to Mr. Redwood and ask him about the starters" The announcer said as he headed toward Sootopolis's most famous personality.

"Hi guys, this is Dr./Prof. Redwood, lets talk about the starter pokemon that are available here" A guy who looks like he is in his mid 50s, with a red hairs and red beard. He is wearing a white suit with a blue pants. He continued, "The starters that are currently available are : Wailmer, which evolves into the mighty Wailord. Horsea, that evolves into Seadra, becoming a Dragon pokemon too, then finally into the strength Kingdra. Last, but not least, is Lotad, with a pair of two types, water and grass. It evolves into Lombre, and then finally at Ludicolo."
He finished.

"Ohh...that's really exciting, I wish I get the best one"! Jimmy said.

"Jimmy, your mom said that she have a big surprise for you. So, come home as fast as you can" Mom called from downstairs, after hanging up the phone.

"Oh...then byes Nabeel, see you tomorrow. Remember 8:00 at Professor Birch's Lab" Jimmy said as he raced downstairs.

"Byes...see you tomorrow, Jimmy" Nabeel said as he turned the TV off and then went downstairs too.

"Ready for your journey boys?" Dad asked respectively. Jimmy got his shoes on and headed for the door, but stopped to answer Mr.Kamil.

"Yeah" Both Nabeel and Jimmy said.

"Bye everybody" Jimmy called as he exited the door and walked east.

"Time for breakfast everybody" Mom called as she set the dinner table.

After breakfast Nabeel went straight to the bed, and fell asleep as he is wondering about tomorrow........

Quilava(Very Strong, and works together.), Umbreon(Very strong, they usually do a tag team,) Zane usually does a Tag Team, and they can work together a lot. Theyre really fast, and he also uses a Dragonair, which is speedy, and is also powerful.

Thanx for the description Darktempler8!

So now, you only have 3 pokes....Quilava, Umbreon, and Dragonair...right?

And as far as beating E4 is concerned, I will try to talk to him....

[Diamondlance]

You have a point, Dark Templar 8. Venasaur89 and I talked, and we changed my stats.

[Venasaur89]

Sorry for not showing up people! Actually, I was really busy because my school is about to start.

Anyways, here's the next chapter, probably the longest chapter in my fic.

_________________________________________


Last time, a young trainer known as Cory White caught the Team Aqua member. The Aqua member was trying to sneak into the Disney World Head Quarters located in Mossdeep. Then, at the afternoon as Nabeel walked in front of the house, he sighted his brother and a trainer battling. Wasif's Swampert knocked down the pitiful Manectric with an Earthquake attack. Then, came the sleepy Cascoon, who surprisingly evovled into a Dustox, but even he was not good enough for Swampert. Dustox looked impressive by using Silver Wind, but was Coed by a powerful Hydro Pump from the mighty Swampert. Then, later at the evening, the family drove to Oldale to buy some trainer essentials for Nabeel. At night, after dinner, Nabeel met up with Jimmy to watch his favorite show called, " Night before Your Journey". Then, Nabeel went to his bed, dreaming about his journey and his dreams...

-------------------

Chapter 4: A Scarce in a Air!


<Narrator>

Nabeel wakes up as his Mom makes the last try to wake him. He wakes up, trying to walk to the bathroom, but trips like always. When he entirely opened his eyes, he noticed his mom.

"Hi, mom...what's up" He asked pleasantly. He then looks at his mother, who is looking at him in like an cat infront of a mouse. He gets surprised when he look at his mom's spooky eyes.

"Look, Do you know what time it is? It's 8, and you are supposed to be at Professor Birch's lab", She replied in a loud voice, but tries to refrain from shouting.

"Ah... I better hurry up" He said as he gets up and heads up for the phone to call Professor Birch.

"And, what are you doing now?" Mom asked in a soft tune. She heads for Nabeel who is dialing some numbers on the phone.

"I will just tell Professor Birch to hold my pokemon", Nabeel replies like he is really satisfied.

He hears a lot of Dial tones as nobody picks up the phone at Prof. Birch's Lab.

"Ohh well, I knew it. Everybody is late these days. Nobody cares about other people. I am sure he must be sleeping too. These professors...they tell us to get up at 7, and they eat their Breakfast at 11," He murmured as mom listened.

"He must be outside or somewhere where he cannot get the phone. Hurry up son, and get dresses. Breakfast is ready" She said as she heads downstairs to take care of the kitchen.

Nabeel goes straight to the Bathroom to change in his Black and Red Sports Pants, which made a "chur..chru" sound when walking in them. Along with his sports pants he picks his blue Nike shirt. He brushes his teeth and then enters the bathtub to take a shower.

----------

Mean While, Ms. Ruby is preparing Breakfast for Nabeel, since Mr. Kamil, Wasif and herself have already eaten, and Hammad and Ashar, Nabeel's little brothers.

Wasif is studying his Algebra II book as he is interrupted by a shout coming from the east. He looks outside from the window blinds, not opening it, just viewing it from the narrow opening of the blinds. As he looked around the town, he sights the normal people and everything else just going fine. He then returned to his book.
Others in the house must have not heard the scream because the windows and all the other doors are closed.

Mr.Kamil is watching TV and is getting ready for going to the Pokemart.

Nabeel opens the bathroom door after brushing his teeth and changing into his clothes. After combing his hairs, he race downstairs, ready for a delicious breakfast.

"You breakfast is ready son, hurry up and take your breakfast from the kitchen" she said as she hands him his breakfast in a tray, which includes a bowl of cereal and a pair of doughnuts, served with hot tea.

Nabeel starts eating like he was starving forever.

"Ah...yumm" Nabeel said as he took a sip from the white cup of tea with golden stripes.

"Hi dad, how you doing?" He said as he entered the TV lounge after handing his empty breakfast tray to mom.

"Hi, son. Ready for your journey?" Dad asked as he put the newspaper away, and then got up from the sofa, to go to the Pokemart.

"Yeah...I am just leaving in five minutes" He said. He then gets his white and blue Addidas sneakers that he bought last year. He then put his wallet into his right pants pocket.

After wearing his white socks, he puts up his sneakers on. Then, he takes his backpack, with is concluded of five pairs of pants, seven T-shirts, and couple of sport shorts. He also has a hat, a pair of gloves, a pokenav and some other essentials.

He drinks a glass of water, as he walks toward the door.

"We will miss you son. Just keep calling us wherever you go. Do you know the phone number?" Dad said lightly as he hugged Nabeel.

"Don't worry dad, I will be all right. I know the phone number. It's 547-0655, and the area code is 336.....right?" He asked handily. He has a good memory, but he just wants to make sure.

"Yeh..and remember that no matter what you do, we will always be with you" His mom said expressly. She tried her hardest to cover her tears, but one or two came out from her blue eyes. Nabeel then hugged her mom.

"Thanks everybody. I will take care of myself" He said as he got ready for his journey.

"And. here's a gift from me. This is a coupon for buying two any kind of two pokeballs 50% off. You also get a pokeball of your choice for free if you use this coupon," Dad says as he hands him a coupon and studies it. It read: Buy two pokeball for a half price and get a another one for free!

"Here's a gift from me son" His mom said as she handed him a sport watch, well for teenagers.

"Ohh..thank you everybody" He said as he looked up at his brother coming downstairs.

"Hi bro! good luck on your journey...and here's something from me" Wasif said as he handed him Trainer Battle Sheet.

"Ohh..thank. What is this for?" He asked as he looked at the sheet of paper. It read, "Battle Chart".

"This is the sheet that will tell you which pokemon are week or strong against a specific type" Wasif explained.

"Okay..thanx. Where are Ashar and Hammad?" He asked for his younger brothers.

"Oh...they are upstairs in their room, playing their Nintendo 64" Mom replied as he race upstairs to say bye to his brothers.

"Ashar and Hammad, I have something to tell yall" He said as he saw them playing Pokemon Stadium 2 in the Nintendo64 system.

"What...are you going on your journey?" Ashar asked in a childish voice. Both of them are really cute. Ashar is currently studying in 3rd grade, while Hammad is in the 1st grade.

"Yes..did mom told yall about it?" He asked as he is surprised how both of them knew about his journey.

"Yes, and she also told us about your new bicycle" Hammad replied as he got up and walked toward Nabeel, hugging him.

"Ohh, well that is a surprise. Nobody told me about it" He said as he hugged Hammad and then Ashar.

"Bye yall, I will call home everyday" He said.

"Bye" Both of them replied as they both went back playing their Nintendo.

"Bye..and I wish yall to be the best" He said as he goes downstairs. His dad, mom, and brother are standing there.

"Okay guys, I am going!" Nabeel said.

"Bye!" Everybody said as Nabeel exits the building, but is stopped when he sights a brand-new Bicycle in front of his house. The bicycle is one of these new fashionable bicycle for teenagers.

"Is this for me?" He asks shockingly as he turns around.

"Yeah, it's a gift from the whole family" Dad said exclusively.

"Thanks" Nabeel says.

"well, we don't want you to lose weight by walking thousands of miles" Mom said happily.

"Thanks, I will see yall later" He says as he gets on his bicycle and then starts to paddle slowly.

"Bye" everybody waves at him, and he waves back until he is out of their sights.

Prof. Birch's lab is just a half a mile away from Nabeel's house.

He feels great to ride in his new bicycle. It feels just so great. Cool wind, cloudy day, and no traffic at all.

Soon, Nabeel reaches Prof.Birch's lab. He then pushes the brakes to stop and then knocks at the unantediluvian entrance. Nobody answers. Then he knocks again, but no reply at all. He then knocks hard, but there's no reply.

He then hears some talking in the small one-story building. When Nabeel looks inside from the back window, he sights two men wearing a red dress with the letter M on them. He doesn't believe his eyes. These two strangers are wearing a black mask, all the way to the upper part of their nose, leaving some space to breath. The two of them are messing everything up, probably looking for something. Professor Birch's stuff, that includes his files, research papers, and other documents are scattered away all over the floor. They are looking for something important, as they are searching through every cabinet and drawers. As Nabeel scans the inside scene, seeing Professor Birch tied behind the blue wooden desk shocks him, where he puts all of his research papers. He is wearing a white coat with a black shorts, and a white T-shirt. His glasses are shattered into pieces, and are at the floor. His hands and legs are tied up, as well as his mouth by tape.

Nabeel, as the citizen of Little Root knows what to do in this situation: call the police. As he gazes toward his bicycle toward the police station, he hears a light beep sound coming from where Birch is sitting. All of a sudden, the two unknown thieves advance toward the professor, pushing him toward the desk, revealing a blue button located on the lower part of the wall, where the professor was sitting. One of them pushes the button, making the same light beep. They understand that something is fishy about the beep.
One of them starts studying the button, and suddenly yelled, "That's a Police Alert..run!".

Both of them starts running toward the exit, but the guy with blonde hairs staggers, looking at a document.
"Hi, that's the file we wanted" He said gladly as he took the document and raced toward the exit.

Nabeel hides beneath the window to avoid being sighted by the crooks. They took their Motor Cycles, which are colored red and blue. They are parked at the west part of the building. They put the keys in the Motor Cycle and rode it as fast as they can toward the west part of Walt Lake Forest.

As soon as they left, Nabeel hurries inside the building, where everything is severed. He untied the professor.

"Professor, are you okay?" He asked devotedly. The professor quickly gets up and brushes his clothes with his hands.

"Yes, I am fine. But, they took the Groudon discovery research paper" Professor replied. He then walks toward the Brown table and looks at the jumbled papers.

"Was it important?" Nabeel asked facilely. He then follows professor to the exit.

"Yes, It is a strange letter that I received, which states that the sender has heard a large echo sound, coming from the underground volcanoes near Lavaridge Town. This noise sounds like Groudon, the legendary pokemon. As you may know, there are dozens of caves located near Lavaridge, which leads to hundreds of volcanoes. The sender wrote the complete address of where he thinks the legendary pokemon Groudon might be. These robbers are the members of Team Magma, the evil force, which is after Groudon and controlling him" He explains sadly as Nabeel is getting more curious by Groudon, as well as the volcanoes in Lavaridge.

"Ohh...that's really sad. But, you knwo professor, I have a feeling that Groudon will be able to protect himself" Nabeel said. Suddenly, there is a loud knock at the door.

As Nabeel opens the door, a police officer wearing a black T-shirt and a black pants, takes out a Pistol and then points it at Nabeel.

"Hands up" He warns Nabeel. Nabeel is unaware of the situation and raises both of his hands up.

"Huh...please don't kill me, the crooks are gone!" he said surprisingly.

"Ohh! are you okay professor?" The police officer asked as he looks behind Nabeel, revealing the professor Brich. The officer then walks to the valuable professor. Nabeel moves to the left so that he wouldn't get in the officer's way.

"Yeah, I am alright officer, but they took the priceless Groudon discovery file, which contains the exact location of where is the legendary pokemon, Groudon is" Professor tried to explain him of how much important that 4-page file is.

While professor continues explaining the professor about the file, Nabeel notices a boy of his age behind many police officers. It is really hard to see the boy's face, so Nabeel decides to walk to him.

"Jimmy, what are you doing here?" Nabeel asked dazzlingly as the boy reveals to be Jimmy, who is wearing a blue shorts, with a white shirt.

"I am the one who got the police officer to come here, what about you?" Jimmy asked, as both of them moved to where Nabeel's bicycle is.

"Ohh, I was here at 8:15 and saw the two Magma members, who kidnapped Professor Birch" He explains. Then Nabeel notices his dad stopping his truck in the parking lot, and then coming towards the building.

"Hi dad" He said welcomely. He then ran toward the truck.

"What's going on son?" Dad asked as he parks the truck and then got out of the car.

"Some criminals from Team Aqua kidnapped professor Birch, and then they took the Groudon Research file" Nabeel explained.

"Ohh! that's really bad. Where's the professor right now?" Dad asked as he waited for Nabeel to answer his question.

"Inside his lab, talking to the police officer" Nabeel replies as the police officers exits the lab and goes away, of course after getting all of the information about the criminals.

"Hi Mr.Kamil, how are you doing?" Jimmy says precisely.

"I am allright Jimmy, how are you" Dad answers, as he sees the professor at the entrance and heads toward him.

As dad and professor Birch talks about what happened, Nabeel is eager to ask Jimmy what pokemon did he choosed. He is pretty nervous of what happened if Jimmy chooses Treecko, the pokemon that he wants.

"So, what pokemon did you choosed?" He finally asks as his heartbeat increases to 130 per minute.

'Ohh, come on out kippy" Jimmy answered as a throws a blue pokeball, that reveals a blue colored pokemon, with four legs, and cute eyes.

"kip...kip" Mudkip cried, as Nabeel's heartbeat returned to 70 per minute.

"Okay...so you choosed Mudkip", Nabeel said assuredly. He then pats the sweet looking Mudkip.

"Yeah, I decided that Mudkip will make a great partner" He replied as he returned Mudkip in its pokeball.

"After I told my mom about today's robbery, she said that I will have to postpone my journey to next month. She also told me that if this kind of atmosphere continues than I won't be able to start off my journey" Jimmy said sadly.

"But.....but what about me?" He asked surprisingly.

"Well, I guess you will have to go alone now. Until I get my mom's permission, I will train here with Mudkip" Jimmy said as Mr. Kamil walks toward his red van.

"Okay!" He answers and looks up at his dad's sorrowful face.

"Son, I think it’s not good for you to start your journey. These evil forces are spreading everywhere. I think its really dangerous for you to go alone" Dad says as he says bye to the professor and gets in his van.

"Dad, but..but, please dad..." He pledges. He is shocked of what is going on, and how the wind changed its direction in a second . He says bye to Jimmy and then sits on the gray seat of the van after putting his bicycle in the van's trunk.

"Okay son, let's talk about it at home" Dad said, sounding like he don't want Nabeel's dreams to shatter.

"Okay..." Nabeel replied as he felt more nervous than ever.

After about two minutes of driving, Nabeel and his dad finally reached the Siddiqui residence.

Dad then stops the car, and Nabeel gets out. He then gets his bicycle from the trunk and then parks it at the right of the home entrance.

"What happened dad and ..Nabeel?" Wasif said as both dad and son walks inside the house.

"Son, there was a robbery at professor Birch's lab. The criminals are identified as Team Magma" Dad explained in a rush. Nabeel and the rest then heads toward the house.

"Honey, what happened?" Mom asked as she sees them entering the house.

"Professor Birch's lab was robbed by come members of Team Magma. I think it would not be safe for Nabeel to start his journey" Dad explains as he and Nabeel gets their shoes off and sits on the sofa.

"Ohh...that's really sad. But, honey I think Nabeel is old enough to take care of himself" She responses as Nabeel looks up happily.

"Yeah Dad, and when Nabeel will get pokemon, they will be able to defend him, fight for him" Wasif says, helping his mom out.

"Okay, well let's ask professor Birch, he is probably the best person to ask since he knows what's going on around Hoenn" Dad says as Nabeel gets totally confident that he will be able to start his journey now.

"Professor Birch, I just need to talk to you for a minute" Dad says as professor Birch picks up the phone and says "hello".

"Yeah, sure. Go on" The professor respondes. Dad continues, "Actually, we think that what happened today could happen to Nabeel as he will be traveling alone all over the Hoenn. You know these crooks, Team Aqua and Magma" Dad explained.

"Mr. Kamil, in my opinion Nabeel is a very responsible teenager, and he can fight for himself. And also, Team Magma and Aqua are....please hold on" Suddenly, professor told dad to hold on. Dad than turns on the speaker so that the whole family can hear of whats going on at the lab.

"Yes, you can choose that...So, you want it, okay then take it. No, you can't take two. Just take one...yes, okay then, you can have it. And also, take the pokedex that's on my brown table's second drawer. Yes, bye, no problem" Professor Birch continued talking to someone else in his lab.

Professor continues, "yes, sorry for the interruption" Dad returns to the phone, "Oh, no it's okay"

"As I was saying, these evil forces are currently banned, meaning that if they are seen by someone, they can report it to the police station, and the cops will then catch them without any warrant, and then put them in jail," Professor finished.

"Okay then, I think there's no need to worry about anything now...yeah thanks for your help....okay then Bye" Dad finished as he hanged up the phone then looks at Nabeel.

"so..am I allowed or...." Nabeel said confusingly.

"Yes, you can begin your journey" Dad replied as Nabeel hugged him and then everybody gets happy.

"And professor Birch said that you better hurry up before someone else takes your only left pokemon" Dad said as Nabeel got his shoes on and then ran toward the door.

"Bye everybody, I will miss yall" He said as he gets his bicycle and then paddles the bicycle as fast as he can toward the professor's lab.

"Bye" everybody cries from the back. Nabeel waves back, as saying bye.

He soon reaches the lab, parks his bicycle and then goes inside.

"Hi professor, is the pokemon still available?" He asks in a rush. "Yes, but why are you such in a hurry? Professor asks as he gets up from his brown research table, like he didn't expected Nabeel to do this.

"Uh..uh, I thought someone else will pick the pokemon before me" He replies as he looks at the shocking professor.

"Okay, this is the only pokemon left. It is Treecko the grass pokemon" Professor says as he hands Nabeel a green-colored pokeball.

"Ohh! I always wanted a Treecko. Thanks professor..You are eminent, you are marvelous, no you are a brilliant expert" Nabeel kept saying as he thinks he is the luckiest person on earth. He got a pokemon!

"Ohh, stop it you, you are still a rookie, or even newbie. Let's see how you do. Usually, 4 out of 3 trainers that start off their journey just mistreat their pokemon, and then they are banned from earning a gym badge or participating in pokemon leagues or even small tournaments" Professor explains as Nabeel gets back to earth and then says, "Don't worry professor, I am not one of those thickheaded" He explains as he takes kisses the pokeball.

"Well, sadly that's what everybody says" professor says awfully.

"But, I am not one of those" Nabeel says as he puts his hand against the white wall.

"Yeah, I can see that you are really determined...so good luck. Ohh, I am all out of pokedex. If you had come earlier you would have received it" Professor said sadly.

"That's really sad, I was hoping I would get one of those...but it's okay" Nabeel replies turning around, disappointed.

"I know what I will do. I will order a pokedex for you at the Devon corp. in Rustboro, where the first gym is" Professor said joyfully.

"ehh..thanx professor, you are great..well, I need to ask you something" Nabeel said refreshingly.

"Yeah, I know that. All you will need to do is just pick up the pokdex from the main office of Devon Corporation. Please go on" He said as he sat down on the black wheeling chair.

"Yes, I will need a guidance in my journey. So, I was hoping if its okay if I call you often in my journey" He questioned.

"Yeah, sure. Infact, I was about to ask you to please call me if you discover something. Also, don't forget to call me when you accomplish something" the authentic professor replied as he hands Nabeel his laboratory card, which has his name, his address, and his phone number.

"Thanks..I am going now..Bye, and thanks for the pokemon" He said as he walks toward the door.

"Bye, and be careful" The professor says from the back.

"I will, see you later" Nabeel says as he races towards his bike and then sits on it, follows by paddling it toward the north.

Suddenly, after driving for a couple of minutes, he comes across his dad's pokemart. He sights his dad standing at the door.

"Hi dad, I got my pokemon" He says as he presses the brakes of the bike and then gets off from it.

"Ohh..show me your pokemon" Dad asks patiently.

"Okay..come on out Treecko" Nabeel orders as he throws a pokeball, and with a green beam of light, a pokemon that looks like a large Lizard, but have a human body comes out. He has a red stomach, and the rest of its body is green. He has a really cute, wide green tail with a ending curve. He definitely looks a male.

"Tree..cko" the pokemon cries. His eyes are dark yellow with a black mark, making him look really cool and smart. He stood almost as tall as Nabeel's waist.

"Ohh, Treecko..hello. My name is Nabeel and I am your trainer. I hope to have a wonderful journey with you with exciting adventures" Nabeel says as he tries to sound friendly, like a guider.

"Tree..tree" Treecko replies in a friendly tone, telling Nabeel that he wants to be his friend too.

"Ohh...you sounds like a great partner" Nabeel says as he hugs the little, but smart fellow.

"I have a feeling that you and Treecko will make a great team" Dad says as he gets five pokeballs for Nabeel.

"Here's something from me" Dad says giving Nabeel five pokeballs.

"Thanks dad, you are great. You already gave me a gift, but I will need those" Nabeel says taking the pokeballs from Dad.

"And, here's a pokeball belt for you. Tie it around your waist, and put all of the pokeballs. Actually, there are two sections, one for the pokeballs with pokemon inside, and the other with the empty pokeballs" Dad explains as he hands him a black belt, which contains space for six pokeballs.

"Thanks dad, this will really help" He said as he ties it around his waist, and puts all of the six pokeballs in his belt, separating five of them by moving a small black piece of plastic between Treecko's green pokeball and the other pokeball.

"These pokeballs changes as the color of the pokemon you catch. Like professor Birch must have caught Treecko with an ordinary pokeball, but the color changed because of Treecko's green color" Dad explains as Nabeel looks at his watch, which tells him that it's already 10 at morning.

"Well dad, I think its time to go" Nabeel says as he gets his bike.

"Okay Nabeel, I will miss you..remember to keep calling us from everywhere. You got the pokemart phone number too..right?" Dad asked as Nabeel nodded. Then both of them shake hands. Treecko moves its hand to Mr. Kamil as he wants to shake hands as well. In return, Mr. Kamil pats the serene looking Treecko.

"Well, bye dad" Nabeel says as he waves at his dad from his bike. Treecko is sitting behind Nabeel.

"Bye, son..and remember to call us everyday" Dad says from the pokemart entrance.

"Yes I will" Nabeel nods and waves until he is out of Mr.Kamil's sight.

"Finally, my very own pokemon, and I am on my journey" Nabeel says quietly, but excitedly.

"Treeck" Treecko cries.

Soon, Nabeel reaches route 101, where Little Root ends, and the road to Oldale begins. There is not much traffic, and the weather is cloudy. At the right side, lay the Walt Lake Forest, famous for the clean and healthy environment

"Okay, hold on Treecko" Nabeel says as he parks the bike at a side, near a oak tree.

"Okay Treecko, this is dangerous, that you might just slide on the back seat. You will be safe in your pokeball, so return" He says as he holds the green pokeball and points at Treecko, which refuses to return back to his pokeball. Nabeel tries again, but it just jumps out of the way. Nabeel tries to return it several times, but it simply refuses.

"Okay, you grassy pokemon return" Nabeel says in a unpleasure mood. And, much to his surprise it works!

"What...go Treecko" Nabeel says as he holds the green ball and slowly leaves it in the air, revealing Treecko.

"So, do you want me to call you grassy?" Nabeel asked as he is surprised that Treecko listened to him when he calls him grassy.

Treecko nodded, telling Nabeel that he likes that.

Nabeel says, "okay, you don't need to go in your pokeball, if you don't want to"

"Treecko..."Treecko cries happily and jumps around, but soon gets back.

"But be careful in the back seat now hop on for a spanking ride" Nabeel says as Treecko hops on the small back seat of the bike and Nabeel then gets on it and paddles toward Oldale.

After a couple of minutes of riding, Nabeel says, "We will make a great team, doesn't it feels great?" He looks happy, and looks back hoping to see Treecko, but the only thing he sees is the black back seat! He couldn't believe his eyes......

Will Nabeel ever find Treecko, or will his journey be full of tragedies?

To find out, read the next chapter: The geecko with Treecko!

Don't forget to post your comments!

[Diamondlance]

I'm impressed with your story so far. Great job! One suggestion, though. Be careful as you type because I saw several typos in this chapter. The story itself, though, is great. I think your dad should give you as many free Pokéballs as you want. I'm looking forward to seeing the next chapter!

[Venasaur89]

Thanx for the reply Joe! Yeah, other people said about the typo errors too. I don't know what happened because I used the spell check tool and spell checked myself. Anyways, Nabeel will get more coupons like that.

Thanx:)

The next chapter will be up sometime next week.

[DannyBoy]

I think you have really good ideas like with the pokeballs changing colors but I dont want to sound mean or anything, the whole waking up late, getting the last pokemon thing is kind of boring. It sounds like Ash getting Pikachu...then going to the professors and getting it but you got a starter and thats kind of boring with you starting like that. I hope that you dont keep following the game or anime because it would suck but I dont think you will so remember that. Also Treecko not wanting to be in its ball is a little Pikachuish there as well. But Treecko running away sounds intresting and different and its nickname is cool. I hope I helped some and I agree with Diamond on the spelling, you need a little work on that. Keep it up!

[Venasaur89]

Thanx IloveX-Tina! I will try to imrove my writing!

[Venasaur89]

yeah, I read the whole chapter all over again, and finded several spelling/grammer errors.
I didn't liked the getting up late, and getting the last pokemon too!

I had a brand new kinda orginal idea....but I thought that most readers won't like it, so I went with this simple one...

Anyways, I am almost done with the next chapter entitled, The Gecko with Treecko. And also, I figured it out that my chapters are getting way to long, so I will keep my length from 2000-2500. I think thats engough, snce nobody wanna read a endless chapter!

So, Diamond Lace and ILoveX-Tina are the only regular readers for my fic? I had about 5 readers in the beginning, but thats what almost everybody do: read a chapter, then forgets about the story! Thats sad:(

[Diamondlance]

Well Venasaur89, I would love to see your original idea. That's what makes a fanfic different from the series! If you can still work it in, I'd encourage you to give it a try. And yes, keeping your chapters a consistent length would probably be a good idea. Keep at it because that's the only way to improve!

Diamondlance

[Venasaur89]

Okay, thanx for the reply Joe! I really appreciate that!:)

The idea I was talking about was for the last chapter I posted, so I cannot do it anymore. But, I have a lot of these kinda ideas that can improve my writing.

Yeah, decreasing the length of my story will be better, because even I cannot read a chapter longer than 1500 words.....

So, give me ideas of how to get readers to read my story.

[Venasaur89]

Well, here is the next chapter people!

Chapter 5: The Gecko with Treecko!





Nabeel gets hysterical, as Treecko is nowhere to be seen. He gets off his bicycle and parks it near an Oak tree.

"Treecko, where are you? Grassy...." He shouts in a loud voice. He then starts looking around. He sights many new pokemon, but he doesn't care, because he has a more important job to do.

"Huh.." He says in a low, sad voice as he notices a green leaf in a bush, unlike from other leaves. As he gazes near the leaf, it appears to a Nuzleaf hiding in a bushes.

"Uhh..." He says somberly and starts looking everywhere, but he sights no sign of Treecko. The Walt Lake Forest looks really beautiful from the inside, with green oak trees, small and healthy pokemon, and a lake in the middle. But Nabeel doesn't care about the forest right now, he is just standing near a bush and is frustrated of where to look in this huge green forest.

"Maybe he is up at a tree... he can climb it" He do some fast thinking as he gets a tight grip of a tree, and then tries to climb up. As he reaches a branch of the old Oak tree, suddenly a brown colored pokemon that have a small face, and two hands, beats the branch with his light brown hands, breaking it. The branch lands on Nabeel as he falls on the ground with a "Ahhh.." sound. Then Geudude simply floats in the air and goes away.

"Ahh..." Nabeel cries as he feels pain in his back and his upper hips. He just lies on the ground for few minutes and wonders what's going on with him. Is he ever going to find his little loyal pokemon, or will his dreams shatter without even noticing him?

He then gets up and says an old dialogue, "Well, if somebody will have to change their destiny, guess what, its gonna be me"

"Treecko, Grassy...where you" He says with a loud and clear voice. But, after few minutes of unsuccessful search, his voice turns faint and pathetic. His eye starts to release sudden tears, depressed and full of worry. He starts to feel shame that he is not even responsible to take care of his only pokemon."My dreams are shattering infront of his own eyes and I cannot do a thing. I am such a nerd. I cannot do a thing. I am a loser," He thinks as he simply sits down on the ground, leaning on the tree, almost fainting.

Suddenly, as he looks around the forest, he sights a trainer of his age, with a Chikorita infront of him, and the pokemon is using Razor leaf at a..... Treecko! Nabeel suddenly gets up in a surprise and runs up to the trainer. Treecko keeps dodging the raison leaf attack and then just jumps around. The trainer is wearing an electric blue shirt, halfly covered with a black vest, along with black baggy cargo jeans and black sport shoes that are mainly for athletics.

The trainer is getting really irratated by Treecko, who is just acting way too active, and is jumping around on tree branches. He just then carelessly throws a pokeball, right at Treecko, just when Treecko looks at the running Nabeel. Treecko enters the world of pokeball, and the pokeball shakes.....

Nabeel is astonished as what is going on. He expected Treecko to just escape from the pokeball as soon as he gets in, but the pokeball is still shaking. "Maybe Treecko wants to be with the other trainer. He thinks that I am too dumb for him" He thinks nervously. He gives up and accepts that the other trainer will treat Treecko better than him. But, suddenly the pokeball pops up, revealing Treecko!

With a sudden surprise to Nabeel, as he looks up at Treecko, who jumps at Nabeel lovingly. Nabeel hugs the little green pokemon as the blonde trainer, with black hairs, walks up to Nabeel, like he's going to eat him.

"Hi, what's the deal little punk? Give me back that Treecko" the trainer says rudely as he returns the perky looking Chikorita. The trainer looks about 5'6, taller and much stronger than Nabeel. He stares at Nabeel with his dark, vigorous eyes.

"Excuse me sir, but this Treecko belongs to me, and he was lost. So, you are the one who should be saying sorry" He replies gently. Nabeel is usually afraid of those tall, bully guys who are known as "troublemakers" around the town. These guys are the ones who make a bad influence on the community. First, most of them take drugs in high school, and then drop out. After they get no job because of dropping out of high school, these guys are the ones who mistreat their pokemon, using them as tools of money, or to hurt somebody. Finally, after doing this criminal stuff, they get accepted into the evil forces, Aqua and Magma. But this teenager doesn't look like one of those. He has a tall and a strong body, and his eyes looks evil as well, but this is not the usual face Nabeel sees from the general bullies

"Ohh, I am really sorry. I thought this one is from the wild" the trainer apologizes as Nabeel cheers up. Well, he was a little afraid of that trainer, but not anymore. The trainer continues, "also, the Treecko of yours looks pretty active and stable. Whenever I threw a pokeball, it just jumped out of the way. I think it’s very attached to you"

"Ohh, it’s okay. I just got him an hour ago, back in Little Root from professor Birch" Nabeel forgives the trainer as he hugs Treecko.

"I am Soni, and I am from Mauville City. I am training here with my pokemon. You see, I only have two pokemon, and the Rustboro City gym leader uses rock pokemon, which are fairly weak against grass types" Soni explains as Nabeel and him shake hands.

"I am Nabeel, and I am from Little Root. I just started my journey a hour ago, and while I was riding my bicycle, Grassy got lost. So, that's how I ended up with you" He conveyed as he notices a sleeping pokemon lying beside the tree. The pokemon looks much like a sleeping Goat; the whole body colored light brown and couple of dark-brown stripes on his stomach.

"Do you know that sleeping pokemon?" Nabeel asks riotously as Soni looks back at the pokemon, who is still sleeping. Soni gets really excited; "This pokemon looks kind of similar to the pokemon that the Petalburg City Gym leader used...whooo. I better catch him" Soni conjectures as he throws a pokeball. With a green beam of light, a pokemon with a big leaf on her head, and her neck is surrounded by a necklace, consists of round and small gray diamonds. Chikorita looks pretty cute and has a soft body.

"Chika...Chika" The pokemon cries as Nabeel adores her.

"Pretty cute, she is a grass type, right?" He asks as Chikorita looks at Slakoth, with her red and white eyes.

"Yes, my dad gifted her to me, when I started my journey, a week ago" Soni explains proudly. Nabeel thinks about his dad's pokemon, a Machoke and a Hariyama. They are pretty powerful. Soni continues and gets ready to battle Slakoth, "Chikorita, use your Razor Leaf at that nappy Slakoth" He orders as Chikorita turns back and then releases several green leaves from the big leaf on her head. As the leaves strike the half-awaken Slakoth, he gets up and gets ready to attack.

"How did that Slakoth woke up like that?" Nabeel asks as he stares at the active looking Slakoth.

"I have heard that when Slakoth's are disturbed while sleeping, they get on a rampage" Soni cries as he gets a little afraid. Suddenly, Slakoth starts running toward Chikorita like a herd of Tauros do, when you pull their tail.

"Chikorita, move out of the way" Soni orders as Chikorita tries to move out of the way, but barely succeeds, part of her body getting hurt.

"Chikorita, use your Vine Whip" He roars lightly. Two green rope of rubber comes from Chikorita's sides, hitting the enliven Slakoth in a seriatim of Vine Whips. Slakoth easily defends by a Slash attack, hitting Chikorita directly on her face.

"Ah, are you alright Chikorita?" He says as Chikorita falls to the ground, nearly fainting. As Nabeel and Soni looks at the cogent Slakoth, they gets surprise when the wild Slakoth uses yawn, going back to sleep. Slakoth probably thought that Chikorita is fainted, so no need to worry now.

"Oh, that's great. Throw the pokeball Soni" Nabeel asserts as Soni returns Chikorita to her pokeball.

"Yeah" Soni orates as he throws a regular pokeball toward the sleeping Slakoth. The ball wiggles a little because of Slakoth's sleeping condition, but a red beam of light catches the pokemon. The color of the pokeball changes to light brown, which is the color of Slakoth.

"Great job, Soni" Nabeel congratulates as Soni picks up the brown pokeball. He then kisses it, and then puts it in his blue colored belt, just below his black vest, along with two other pokeball.

"Eh...thanks" Soni calls. He then thinks a second and then continues, " Nabeel, I was wondering that since I am training here for my upcoming gym battle, I would like to battle you as a part of my training" He finishes in an exciting way, confusing Nabeel. He is totally confused to say yes or no. He have never battled with his own pokemon before...

"Of course, infect I was about to ask you that" Nabeel gladly accepts the challenge.

"Okay, it will be one on one battle, okay?" Soni asks as Nabeel nods. Both of them move across each other, facing each other at about 10 feet distance.

"Come on out Sandshrew" Soni calls as he throws a light brown pokeball, revealing a light brown colored pokemon, which has a white stomach, and a black outline on his brick-shaped, rolling body. He has white eyes with a black outline, and he stood tall about the height of Treecko. The ground pokemon then gazes right infront of Soni.

"Grassy, you are up" Nabeel calls up as Treecko jumps up right infront of Nabeel.

"Ready Nabeel?" Soni asks with a smile on his face.

"Yeah" Nabeel calls, across from Soni. He then pushes his glasses backwards, almost all the way to his eyes.

"Okay then, Sandshrew start off with your Dig attack" Soni orders as Sandshrew uses his firm hands and his sharp claws to dig the ground at an incredible speed. In a matter of seconds, the ground pokemon have dug four tunnels all over the ground.

"Treecko, just try to focus and stay calm" Nabeel yelps as Sandshrew dig out right infront on Treecko and uses his claws to fire a Slash attack. Treecko takes the damage, but still has some marks full with mud, because Sandshrew's body was underground.

"Grassy, use your Mega Drain attacks" Nabeel orders as he thinks quickly of what grass attack Treecko might have. Treecko accepts his trainer's order and then quickly jumps at Sandshrew, standing up on his belly. The gecko pokemon then places his tail on Sandshrew's body, which suddenly starts glowing and absorbs the big-mouse pokemon's energy with a mystical glow of light.

Sandsrew cries in pain as Nabeel looks up at Soni, who is scrambled if to give up or not.

"Sandshrew, try to use rollout with your back" Soni yells as Sandshrew starts spinning on the ground while Treecko is standing up on his stomach, tossing Treecko away. Treecko falls on the ground but quickly gets up.

"Sandshrew, keep using your rollout attack" Soni orders as the round pokemon rolls on the dirt ground, getting all of the mud on himself. He then dramatically increases his speed, rolling toward Treecko.

"Grassy, use Razor Leaf attack" Nabeel adjures, Treecko leans back and then releases greens leaves from couple of leaves located right behind Treecko's hands. The leaves strikes Sandsrew but gets crushed because of Sandshrew's fabulous speed. Sandsrew then counters by a rollout attack, hitting Treecko.

"Ohh" He says like he gets an idea. He continues, "Treecko, I mean Grassy, how about get inside the holes that Sandshrew have dug up" Treecko follows as Nabeel says and jumps inside a hole.

Sandshrew then continues to roll all over the ground. As the earth pokemon rolls over the hole, Treecko then tackles him by jumping up. But instead, Sandshrew's rollout is way too fast, and the attack does a back damage to Treecko. He falls to the hole, and almost faints.

"Grassy, can you still battle?" He says as Treecko stands up and nods, in a way of saying yes.

"Okay then, I have another idea. Run as fast as you can and stand infront of that tree" Nabeel points to the tree as Treecko runs up as fast as he can, and then stands infront of the brown Oak tree. Soni gets alarmed, as he knows what Nabeel is thinking.

"Sandshrew, rollout attack at Treecko" Soni commands as he points toward Treecko, and then continues, "watch out, because he might move out of the way" Sandshrew gets faster and then rolls toward Treecko.

"Grassy, hurry up, Quick Attack" Nabeel yells as Treecko suddenly disappears just when Sandshrew was about to hit him, and then re-appears behind him, tackling him for the final time. Sandshrew was almost collapsed when he missed Treecko, and then banged onto the tree. But Treecko acts a little evil, tackling Sandshrew by mistake when the ground pokemon was already fainted.

"Great job Grassy. We won our first legal battle!" Nabeel joys as he pats Treecko. He then cries, "Treecko" back, in happiness. On the other side, lays Sandshrew on the muddy ground. Soni runs quickly and reaches Sandshrew. He then picks him up and then cleans mud from his face.

"Is Sandshrew alright, do we need to get him to a pokemon center?" Nabeel asks Soni, who now have cleaned every bit of mud out of Sandshrew's face.

"Yeah, Sandshrew will be fine. I have a pack of pokemed with me. I will feed him" Soni replies gratifyingly. He then takes out a medium-sized bottle, which has a label on it, that read "Pokemed" and on the center, "Relieves pokemon from pain".

"Ohh, I have heard of this awesome medicine for pokemon" Nabeel says as the pack that Soni have looks similar to the packs that Mr.Kamil's pokemart carry back in Little Root.

"Yeah, they are pretty good for trainers. I always carry them with me" Soni says as he returns Sandshrew to his pokeball.

Nabeel's watch then makes a peep noise, alarming that it is already 3:00 Pm.

"Ohh, I think its time to go. I have to get to Oldale in about thirty minutes, or my parents will get worry" He says as he pushes his pants up and makes himself look like a fine, teenager.

"Well, I better be getting back to pokemon catching" Soni replies as both of them shake hands and then say their goodbyes.

"Bye" Nabeel yells as he gets on his bike. He then puts the back, movable bicycle seat, where Treecko was sitting before to the bicycle basket. The basket is wide enough for Treecko to sit in easily and Nabeel can look infront as well.

"Bye, see you later" Soni calls back as both of them moves on, toward their destination.

After ten minutes of unstoppable bike riding, Nabeel and Treecko sights the large board, that read "Oldale: 2 miles away". Both of them get happy and excited......

To be Continued....

Well, don't forget to post your comments!

Thanks.

Any replies, reviews, comments?

[Diamondlance]

Good chapter, Venasaur89! You like to use various words to express what you want to say, which to me is a sign of a good author. However, I will point out 2 typos to you.

1. In the first paragraph, I think you mean 'hysterical' and not 'hilarious'.

2. The attack is 'Razor Leaf' and not 'Raison Leaf'.

I hope I helped you out with this. Also, the chapter was of optimal length. It was long enough so that something happens, but not so long that you lose your reader's interest. Great job, and keep it up!

[Venasaur89]

Thanks for the reply Joe!

As for the spelling mistakes, those were wrong thinking errors!

I will just edit it. I had a goal of about 2000 words, but reached 2500, couldn't help!


Thanks..

The next chapter will be up sometime next week..

[Meganium]

Yay! Popularity, I feel special. Great Chapter though I like how I caught Slakoth. Great description and length is good too. Keep Up.

Welcome to the story! Thanks for reading it and then replying.
Yeah, I just kinda wanted to introduce a pokemon so I let you catch it. You would have won the battle if Treecko had not used Quick Attack!

Thanks, and please keep reading and replying!

[Venasaur89]

ANymore requests or replies?

[Venasaur89]

Hi people, the next chapter will be up by Friday or saturday...

Chapter # 6 has been proudly entitled: Gettin' around the sneaky stuff

Well, until then.....

[DannyBoy]

That was a ok chapter, few little mistakes but its ok. To bad Nabeel didnt catch Slakoth but its ok, but I noticed you said,


"How did that Slakoth woke up like that?" Nabeel asks as he stares at the active looking Slakoth.

Shouldn't it be, " How did that Slakoth wake up like that?" Nabeel asked as he stared at the active looking Slakoth."

I think it should be like that, I seen that and it bothered me. Sorry things liekt hat can do that. It was good length. The capture of SLakoth could have been a little longer but it was good. You are getting better. Keep it up!

[Venasaur89]

Thanks for the reply IloveX-Tina! I knew it that you gonna reply.

As for the errors you are talking about, the story is now told in as they are happening. Its not "past" anymore, after the journey has begun they are not any "said, or "ed" at the end of any word". Instead, there are "says" and "s" at the end of a word.

Am I making you confusing, I think so, so lets try one more time:

Before the journey began, I used the words in the past tense. But now I am using present, and that's how the whole story gonna be. I should have used wake instead of woke when I am in present tense, right?

Well, as far as the capture of Slakoth thing is concerned, Soni captures Slakoth. It was just needed so that Nabeel can get more determined, and he kinda learns how to catch a pokemon.

Well anyways, thanks again.

The next chapter will be up by friday or saturday.

[Powarun]

OOOkay, I have just started reading this and only finished three chapters. And I noticed some first time mistakes, one, you made your character have a full analysis, instead of giving features like looking in a mirror, or something other than the outline. that was probally the first problem I noticed, tehn there was spelling, but as long as a reader like me, could notice what arangements of letters went were and what the letters ment its okay. Hmm. the characater name is different never seen the name Nabeel before, how is it pronounced is it Nay beel, or Nah bell?

I will read further but read my pm for why I haven't read teh whole thing yet.:P

first of all, thanks for reading my fic. Thanx for telling me the mistakes in the fic. This is my first fic, and I know that its is not the perfect excuse for making errors. I would say that the first two chapter had several errors, both spelling/grammer and the story ones. But, I think I have really improved in chapter # 5, which I think contains little or no errors. The way you pronounce Nabeel is: Na-beel.

I hope it helps, and please, please, please, please, please (I should stop now) keep reading the fic... Believe me, it will improve.

Thanks.

Shouldn't it be, " How did that Slakoth wake up like that?" Nabeel asked as he stared at the active looking Slakoth."



I think they mean woke vs. wake and not ask vs. asked. I agree that it should be "How did that Slakoth wake up like that?". However, it is what he actually said, and people don't always speak correct English. It's not necessary to change, but it is not correct the way it is.

Ohkay, thanx for clearing it. I will change it. ANd from now own, every word will be used in the present tense.

Thanks for the correction and the next chapter is coming up in few days.

Thanx:)

Hey there,Venasaur.I decided to read your Fic.I just readed Prologue and Chapter 1.Sorry,it's late out there...

So far,I must say that it's OK.You just need to work a little on dialogue and organisation.I really got confused in the 1st chapter,when Nabeel wins the battle,and all of a sudden,he was in Rustboro City!I'm not sure if you meant that,but that's what I understood.Just try to organisate the ideas,so readers won't get confused.Also,try to put inverted commas before and after every dialogue.There's some dialogue without them,and it gets kinda confusing.I haven't readed the later chapters,but in the first chapters,those were the main mistakes.

Other minor stuff is the speeling.You said Old dail,when it's Oldale.Try to check names and stuff before writing,so it won't mess up.Also,in chapter 2,the 2 Pokémon of the mart(Mech and Hari),you said Hair is now a Mariana.Isn't it Hariyama???Try to clear it out,because some people could get pretty confused,like me...

Some minor grammar errors too,but I won't try to correct'em,I'm as bad as you:P

As far as history goes,it's OK.I don't like the same history as the games that much,but you've added a spicy feeling,with your father being a Pokémart owner and stuff.Your descriptions are simple,yet nice,and the story start is very cool!Keep at it!

Just try to correct these mistakes as for now,so your history won't be as messy.BTW,I'll be considering to join this Fic,if I see I'll be able to topple it with my own fic.:D

EDIT:I'm done reading it all.Good job so far!Since the first chapter,your writing has improved greatly!Good job on the las chapters!Just some typos to fix, and that's all. Keep it up!I'll be looking forward for next Chapter!:yes:

Thanks for reading my fic Orion,the Blue Star !

I know that there are several errors in my story espacially the first chapters. But I think I am improving a bit and hopefully I will getmuch better. I know about the "oldail" kinda errors, but now I am proofreading two times and am trying to avoid the typo errors. Mach is Machoke while hari is the newly evovled Hariyama. Sorry for any confusion....But I promise you that the next chapters won't be like that.

The next chapter is coming on saturday.

[Venasaur89]

Here's the next chapter people and grandyc1 appears in it!

Last Time , as Nabeel started looking for Treecko, he sighted a young trainer with his Chikorita attacking Nabeel's Treecko, trying to capture it. As soon as Treecko gets in the pokeball, he escapes and then jumps in Nabeel's arm. After a friendly introduction, the trainer reveals to be a pokemon trainer, known as Soni from Mauville. Soni tries to catch a sleeping Slakoth and succeeds after a quick battle. Then he challenges Nabeel to a 1 on 1 pokemon battle. Soni sends out a Sandshrew while Nabeel chooses Treecko, of course. The match begins with a dig attack from Sandshrew, hitting Treecko, and then a Mega Drain by grassy. Sandshrew gets nearly fainted by comes back by a smashing rollout attack, rolling all over the field. Treecko tries a Razor Leaf attack, followed by a Tackle attack, but neither one of them works, because be Sandshrew's great speed. Nabeel then gets an idea and tells Treecko to stand in front of the brown Oak tree. Treecko follows its trainer's orders and then uses Quick Attack right before Sandshrew rolls at him, aiming at the tree! Sandshrew faints as Nabeel wins his first rightful battle. Then, both of the trainers say their goodbyes, and Nabeel and Treecko continues to ride his bike and gets excited when they sees a blue boards, informing that Oldale is just a couple miles away.

--------------------

Chapter 6: Gettin' around the sneaky stuff




Nabeel rides his bike even more faster as he sees a another blue board that read "Oldale Town Welcomes You", Nabeel and Treecko gets even more happier as they cross the board, but suddenly they feels some bu..mps.... The lower wheel of the bicycle breaks away from the bicycle as Nabeel and Treecko starts yelling and then clashes at the Dumpster, located at the right side of the town entrance. Nabeel falls down at the road, hurting his knee and his lower leg, while Treecko simply lands on Nabeel. His bicycle also falls down as it loses its balance. As Nabeel suddenly gets up, feeling the pain and holding Treecko, he sights that the lower wheel of the bicycle is about six feet away from him, and that's what caused him to fall down and hit the dumpster.

"Ah, crap...What do I do now?" He moans as he picks up the medium-sized, black tire made up of rubber and then Treecko off from him and then walks besides him. Nabeel gets his bike and carries it as well.

Nabeel and Treecko soon reach the main populated area of Oldale. The small town looks very similar to Little Root, except for some more shops and a huge mall known as "Ruston York Mall". As Nabeel walks carrying his bike, he comes across a small building with a "Visitor Center" sign on the front. He heads toward the building to find out if there are any Auto shops nearby, which could fix his bike. Nabeel then enters the small building and notices an aged man sitting on the counter. The room is an average sized office with three doors locating at the back.

"Oh, another trainer. How can I help you?" The office man asks gently. He is wearing a black dress pants with a white shirt under it. He is a white man with plain white hairs and a short beard. He is also wearing a pair of black round glasses that make him look an experienced old man.

"Yeah, yes sir. Actually my bike's back wheel needs to be fixed" He replies respectively as he shows him the black rubber wheel.

"Okay, so this is the problem. I believe that you are looking for an Auto shop" the old man states. He then takes a look at the broken wheel and then hands it back to Nabeel.

"Yes, certainly" He says. He then looks at the man questionly.

"The auto shop is just few blocks away. Take a right at the main street and then the shop will be on your right" the gentleman replies. He continues, "They will take about five bucks for the because I think they will have to change the wheel as well" he then hands Nabeel a shopping bag to put the wheel in and then Nabeel and Treecko exits along with saying thank you.

As they walk toward the main street sign and then crosses the street, Nabeel notices a light brown colored pokemon in a bush nearby. The pokemon looks smaller than Treecko and has green lower body as well as green spots on her upper body. The pokemon has a small face and looks like a grass type.

"Oh, a Shroomish let me catch it" Nabeel yells excitedly as he looks at the Shroomish and then at Treecko, who nods.

"Grassy, use your quick attack" He orders as Treecko gazes toward the little Shroomish, disappearing and then re-appearing in a matter of seconds. Shroomish isn't ready to battle and just let the attack hit her soft body. She falls down but manages to get up quickly, defending with her Stun Spore attack. As Shroomish spins tiny brown colored powder originates from Shroomish. The mystical powder than strikes Treecko with an evil look. Treecko tries to dodge the powders, but blunders because there are way to many to them to avoid. Treecko suddenly falls down at the side of the road, unable to move, and a car heads for his direction, without knowing that Treecko is there....

As soon as Nabeel becomes aware of the situation, he runs toward Treecko, but is stopped by two hands that grab him. Then he hears a strange voice from behind, "Are you crazy? Don’t worry about your pokemon. He will be fine" Then all of a sudden, a pokemon appears that almost looks like a 5'4 human, red colored with half of his body colored light brown, as well as his sticky hairs colored light brow. The pokemon then quickly flies and picks up Treecko at a point where the black car almost tackled Treecko, and then Treecko rests at Nabeel's arms.

'Wha...what? Treecko, are you okay?" Nabeel asks as he looks at Treecko nervously, after what happened.

"Tree.cko" Treecko cries lightly. Nabeel then turns around and looks at the pokemon who saved Treecko's life and a trainer, who looks a little, taller than Nabeel, and has blonde hairs. He is wearing a pair of blue bleached jeans and a red T-shirt along with a black leather jacket with an M written on the side.

"Yeah, your Treecko needs to go to the pokemon center" He says gently as Nabeel nods and both of them heads for the pokemon center.

"I know where the pokemon center is. Just hop on my motor cycle" the trainer commands.

"Ye..ye.. Yes" Nabeel calls, barely speaking. He then sits on the blue colored, new-fashioned motor cycle and then the trainer put the keys in, starting it. Along with Nabeel are the trainer and his fire pokemon sitting, and there's even more space left out. The trainer drives as fast as he can turning right on the first signal light, and another right on the second one. In the matter of minutes, they reaches the pokemon center, much like Little Root's but a little larger.

The trainer parks the motor cycle quickly and then both of them enter the main entrance of the pokemon center. The public place is almost empty, with about two or three people sitting on the couch, reading some magazines.

Nabeel sights a lady wearing a white skirt with a red shirt. She has gray hairs, stretching all the way to her lower back.

"How can I help you" the lady asks in a pleasant voice. Beside her stands a Breloom, who stood tall all the way to her shoulder.

"Yes, this Treecko of mine has been hurt. He is paralyzed" Nabeel explains as he hands the lady Treecko. She studies him and then speaks, "okay, I think this one will be fine. Let's take him to the medium-injury room" She then takes Treecko to a room, which has a sign that read "MIR" on the top of it, abbreviated as "Medium-Injury room". Beside the MIR room was HIR on the right, and on the left is a room marked as LIR. Also, there is a room on the right side of HIR marked as Storeroom, and on the right of that room is a room called Staff Room.

Nabeel sits on the couch, and gets a fashion magazine. But, his mind is somewhere else.

He though, "Will Treecko be all right? What if something happens to him? I should have never let him fight that Shroomish. It's all my fault" Many questions popped up in his mind. He is always like that: worried. He just sits there, leaving his brain empty, just praying to the god for Treecko's health.

"Okay, Treecko will be fine in about ten to fifteen minutes. He was only paralyzed and we fed him a paralyze heal medicine" The lady explains as Nabeel gets up, puts the magazine back on the table. .

"Thank you nurse, Can I go see him?" He asks as the nurse puts her hands on Nabeel's shoulders.

"No, visitors aren't allowed. But, he will be with you in few minutes" She says in a satisfying tone. She then gets out a register and start writing something with a black pen. Nabeel isn't worried anymore, and thinks what to do next. Suddenly, he looks around and realizes that the trainer who saved Treecko has just disappeared from the pokemon center.

"Must have something important to do" He thinks. He then looks around the hall and sights a empty computer on the right side of the hall, along with few other computers.

"Nurse, do yall charge for the computers?" he asks as the nurse looks up and then puts he pen back in her pocket.

"Yeah, 50 cents per phone call. The phone call can be made all over the Hoenn" She explains as Nabeel puts his hands inside his pant pockets to looks for any change. He then returns his hands up, opening his hands, which reveals three quarters from the right pocket and a couple of dimes from his left pocket. He then gathers all of the coins and then puts back a quarter and two dimes back in his right pocket. He then hands the nurse the coins.

"Okay, I will unlock computer # 3 for your twenty minutes use" She makes a deal as she puts the money in the money counter and then presses a button on the computer that is placed on the right side of the counter.

"Okay, thanks" He regrets as he gazes toward the computer that is marked "3" and then sit in front of it. He then uses the mouse to click on the numbers. He dials 336, the area code, then 5470655. He then picks up the cordless, and after few seconds of waiting he hears a dial tone, followed by a female voice-calling "hello".

"Hi mom, its me Nabeel. Yes, yes...everything was all right. No...Yeah he is fine too, just had a little injury...yeah, he is fine now...okay, yes...yes...really...I will" he say as the phone hangs up, after talking for ten minutes. He then suddenly checks the phone again, but hears nothing but an old, boring dial tone.

"Nurse, what happened? I just talked for about five minutes and the phone hung up" he explains as he moves up to the counter.

"Opps, I forgot to tell you that the phone time was ten minutes, and the other ten minutes are for the Internet on the computer" She explains as Nabeel aws, but gets happy when he hears the other part. He gets 10 minutes of computer! Sitting on the computer is one of his favorite things. He then just nods and runs to the computer. He sits on the chair in front of it, and starts browsing stuff. He loves to make and play quizzes on the Internet, as well as read news. He also enjoys make new friends on the Internet, or participates in different kinds of forums. After ten minutes, a bell ring, alarming the Nabeel's computer time is over. He quickly clicks the X on the Internet Explorer program, and then just leaves the computer on the desktop. Nabeel quickly stands up and walks to the counter, noticing the nurse has gone somewhere.

"Here's your Treecko, young man" the nurse calls as she comes back from the MIR room. Nabeel gladly takes Treecko from her hands and then talks to him "are you feeling better now, Grassy?" Treecko nods in reply and then calls out, "Tree...cko" getting back healthier.
He then jumps from Nabeel's arms and prefers to walk. As they walk toward the exit, nurse's efficient voice stops them.

"Don't forget your bill, young man" She calls as she hands Nabeel a sheet of paper that has a lot of writing. It says, "Pokemon Center Bill" on the top and then lists the other information.

"I thought that the pokemon center service is free?" He asks as he looks at the nurse sophistically.

"It used to be, but when a lot of people stopped paying the taxes, the government had to take this step" She explains as she agrees with the government.

Nabeel takes out his wallet and gives the nurse a $5 bill, as it says on the pokemon center bill.

"Thank You, and have a nice day" She calls as Nabeel and Treecko exits the door, and Nabeel gets cheerful as he sights a Auto Shop on the right side of the pokemon center.

"Ah, the bike might be on the road" Nabeel says as Treecko points to something.

"Ohh, my bike and the wheel" Nabeel claims gladly as he surprisingly sees him bicycle and the broken wheel fight beside the entrance gate of the pokemon center.

"The trainer who saved you must have bring my bike over here" He says to Treecko as he nods and then both of them heads to the shop.

The shop is really crowded, Nabeel looks at the counter, where a man is sitting, with his brown hairs and he looks like he is in his 30s.

"What you need kid?" He asks in an unpleasant manner.

"Yeah, I need to get my bike fixed" He says as he shows the dude his bike, who carefully observes it.

"Okay, it just needs to get a new wheel. It will be $7. You can leave the bike over here and then pick it up after...one hour" He explains as Nabeel takes his wallet out and then gives the dude a $5 bill and couple of $1 bills. The dude puts the information in the computer, and then prints out a receipt. He also takes the bike and Nabeel and Treecko walks away.

"Okay, let's go somewhere. Is there anything special here to see" he questions himself as he takes out an Oldale City guide. He looks through it in the ungloomy sun, at 4:40 Pm. He then cheers as he finds out that there's the famous Ancient Ruins Center nearby.

"Okay, lets go to this place" he points as he and Treecko starts walking east on the sidewalk. Soon they reach a gigantic building, marked as "Ancient Ruin Center". Both of them walk inside, feeling the Air Conditioner in the building.

"Ahh, don't it feels refreshing here" he exclaims after taking a deep breath. Treecko nods in return as both of them are tired out after facing the uncoverable sun for only five minutes, but it felt more than a hour. They sight a woman sitting on a brown table, selling the tickets.

"Hi, how much for a single ticket?" He asks as he thinks that Treecko might not count because he is a pokemon.

"Sorry sir, but pokemon with you counts as well" the lady answers in a low voice, bugging Nabeel.

"Crap, yall just want to get all the money yall can from us innocent trainers" He replies in a loud voice, but tries to keep his temper down. He continues, "well, how much for two tickets?" The lady then puts her glasses all the way to the back, almost touching her eyes.

"Sorry sir, but these are the rules. It will be $4 for both of you" She assures as Nabeel takes his wallet out for the third time in less than a hour and then hands her four $1 bills.

"The ticket will expire after one hour, your time starts now" She says as Nabeel gets angers but quickly walks away because he don't want to waste anymore time.

As he enters the hall, he sights many statues of pokemon in large glasses, found from the ancient ruins. There are different unknown pokemon, hard to identify.

Nabeel looks at several other footprints and portraits, suddenly he sights the same Blaziken who saved Treecko's life before.

"Huh..." He exclaims as he looks beside the Blaziken, sighting the same trainer.

"Ohh, you where were you? And I wanted to thank you for what you did for us" Nabeel says, not controlling his emotions, speaking in a little emphatic voice.

"Shhhhhh..Okay you just thanked me...now go away" the trainer says ridiculously. He and Blaziken than hurries to the elevator.

"Huh...sounds weird" Nabeel says as he looks as other people in the tourist center.

"Okay Treecko, we are done with the first floor, lets go and check out the second one" He discloses as Treecko nods, and then both of them takes the empty elevator to enter the second floor. Things are pretty much same here, except for a corridor that has a sign on it which read "Ancient Center Laboratories" and right below it read "Staff Only". As Nabeel looks around for more ancient statues, he suddenly sights the trainer with Blaziken opening the door of that corridor and then entering it quietly.

"huh, let's follow them" Nabeel says as he quietly opens the door, and hides behind a brown table along with Treecko. He then sees that the trainer is opening a door, which read, "Pokemon Examine Samples". Nabeel then gets up and then thinks about what to do.

"The looks like he is from Team Magma since he have a M on his shirt...what if he is here to capture the sample pokemon?" He thinks as he gets an idea and exits the building as fast as he can. He then looks around, not caring about the heat coming directly from the golden sun.
He then looks at a man sitting on the bench, he gazes toward him.

"Excuse me sir, do you know where's the nearest police station here?" He asks in a courtly manner. Treecko stands beside him, trying to cover himself by the bright light coming from the Sun.

"Yes, its just a one block away" the man replies in a amiable voice, he then walks away.

"Thank you" Nabeel regrets as he pounds his feet faster toward the Police Station.

After a hard walking for two minutes, Nabeel reaches the police station, an old building, but looks better from the inside. He enters inside and sights a man wearing the police uniform and walks toward him.

"What's the problem kiddie?" The officer asks as he puts his feet on the table.

"Sir, I suspect that the evil team of Magma has attacked the Ancient Ruin Center. I saw a boy wearing a shirt with a M on it, and he entered the laboratories, the place which is only accessible for the staff member" He explains as the officer gets serious and then both of them walks toward the exit of the police station.

"Are you sure?" The officer asks as both of them heads toward the Ancient Ruin center. The town looks same as it was before.

"Well, that's what I saw" Nabeel justifies, as he doesn’t want to get in any kind of trouble.

Soon they reach the second floor of the gigantic science building.

"Follow me, and please stay quiet" the police officer warns him as he nods and then follows him to the corridor. As the police officer ajar the door with a quick police action, he takes out his black pistol and then points it in front of him, by raising his hands forward.

Then Nabeel points to him to the door, which marks "Pokemon Examine Samples", where the trainer went in. As they enter, they sight a large hall with a lot of research papers on the tables and at the end there is a weird looking pokemon, pretty small in size.

Nabeel follows the officer as he opens and points the gun forward.

"Hands Up" the officer says to the trainer with Blaziken. There are two people standing, the trainer and beside him is a scientist guy wearing casual clothes.

"Oh no officer, he is with me" the scientist yells to the officer, and then he puts his pistol back. The trainer too, puts his hands back to their normal position.

"What's that a....Groudon?" The officer asks as he stares at a pokemon, which looks like a small Sandshrew but with a red body with a curve. The pokemon looks like that he is still a baby.

"Yes, that's what we are hiding from everybody. This is a baby Groudon that Marty has" the scientist speaks as everyone listens carefully. He continues, " He found him near the lake at Slateport. He bring him here now I am examining him and might be able to find the location of where he was born, so that we can find the legendary pokemon Groudon" the little pokemon then cried "don.don" lightly, in a sweet voice. Nabeel knows Marty, the current champion of Hoenn league. He even watched his interview a couple of years ago, but couldn't remember his face. He really wanted to meet him as he can provide him some important information of how to be a better trainer.

"Okay, I am sorry. As for you young man, I will leave you this time for misguiding us, but next time you will have to pay the charges. Bye professor and please let us know if anything goes wrong", the officer warns Nabeel as he exits the hall.

"Well, I got the pokemon's biotic data. I don't how long it will take me to find out where he was born. So take good care of this Groudon" professor says as the trainer nods and returns the baby Groudon back to his poke ball.

"Okay, well see you later. I will sure to call you if something comes up" Marty replies as he gazes toward the exit but stops when Nabeel's sweet voice hits his ears. " I am sorry Marty, I didn't know who you were and.."

"It's okay, I knew that you were just trying to make sure that something isn't wrong. I forgive you. Bye now", he says as he exits the building.

“So young man, I don’t know any reason of you staying here” the professor says gently as Nabeel picks up Treecko.

"Okay, I am going" He calls as he leaves the building as well. He then walks toward where the Auto shop is and just as he gets there, he sights the same old man in the Auto Shop. He enters the shop as the selling person sees him.

"Your bike has been fixed" he speaks as he brings Nabeel's bike from a bunch of bicycles and then hands it to Nabeel.

"Gee..Thanks" Nabeel says as he looks at the fixed bike. The new black wheel looks even better than the old one. After getting out of the smelly Auto Shop, Nabeel sits up on the bike and Treecko sits in the basket. Nabeel then looks at his Pokenav and presses a button. Then there are few words written on the small screen. "Please select where you are" it says. Nabeel chooses Oldale Town, and then it says "Next Place" then on the next line it appears "Info". He chooses the option, "Next Place" it appears, "Route 102: Petalburg City-1st Gym". Nabeel graces as he thinks about his first gym battle, and then he starts riding his bike still thinking with his too-much-to-handle brain.

Nice chapter. Not a whole lot of action, but you are getting better on the length. I like your original ideas, such as the baby Groudon and the fee for the Pokémon Center. How many years is this after the events in the Ruby & Sapphire games? I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Thanks for the reply Joe!

Yeah, the chapter wasn't action-packed, I just wanted to introduce readers to some things like the pokemon center, it's computer, the pokegear, the visitor center, just to name a few. So you can say it was a filler, since Nabeel failed to catch the Shroomish. But I gurantee you that the next chapter won't be a filler!

What do you mean by "How many years is this after the events in the Ruby & Sapphire games?" I am not following the anime nor the games...

Thanks, and please keep reading!:)

Even though your story doesn't follow these, it does take place in the same world. I just wondered because it seems like the things like the fee for the center would happen some time after those events in R&S. Sorry for the confusion.

Ohh no, you have a fair right to ask a question. The story is going in present, like its not 2020 or something, its 2003. You may have noticed that the main character is almost the same as me. So, as I grow the character grows!

[Meganium]

Hi people, sorry for the delay..actually, i was really busy and stuff because I just entered high school...so here's the nect chapter, really long, but worth reading it.

-------------------------------------

Last time, as Nabeel and Treecko enters the Oldale Town, they bumps into a dumpster as the bike's back wheel breaks. He then walks to a visitor center nearby and a man there tells him the directions to the nearby Auto Shop, where Nabeel can get his bike fixed. Then in his way to the Auto shop, Nabeel encounters a wild Shroomish and vows to catch it, but fails when Treecko fell right in the middle of the road, paralyzing. A car is about to hit Treecko when suddenly a well trained Blaziken grabs it and saves it in a matter of seconds. The Blaziken belongs to the unknown trainer, and then he transports Nabeel to the pokemon center. The nurse over there handles Treecko as Nabeel calls back home and then get on the computer. Treecko comes back to the full power, as they go to the Auto Shop, and gives the bike to be fixed. They then go to Ancient Ruins Center where Nabeel sights the same trainer with a Blaziken entering a room, only accessible for staff members. Then Nabeel reports that to a police officer to hurries to the gigantic building and then they enters the room where the trainer went, and gets surprised to find out a baby Groudon on a table. The pokemon belongs to the trainer Marty Poke, the Hoenn league champion. The scientist there then gathers all of the info about the Groudon and then the trainer leaves, as Nabeel says his goodbyes to Oldale as well., going toward the next destination-Petalburg, the sight of the first gym!
---------------

Chapter 7: Fight for the White!



As Nabeel and Treecko enters the dusty road, they are surprised as they sights a blue board on the right side, indicating that Petalburg is only two miles away.

"I am just riding the bike for couple of minutes and Petalburg already" He glances excitedly.

"Tree...Treecko" Treecko calls as he tries to tell Nabeel something.

"What is it Treecko? Have you sighted anything different?" Treecko denies it.

"Okay, have you forgotten something in Oldale?" Nabeel tries one more time, but Treecko denies it. As Nabeel thinks what to do next he is interrupted by a large blue board which reads "Welcome to Petalburg".

"Uhh, we have reached Petalburg!" He joys but suddenly another red colored bike, almost the same as Nabeel's just passes him really fast, almost knocking him.

"Hi, watch out" Nabeel yells as the driver appears to be a girl, looks like Nabeel, with black hairs, blue eyes, looks almost 5"2. She looks like she weighs about 120 lbs. She is wearing a light blue tank top, with red colored, cotton shorts, covering her fair skin. She looks much like a mixed girl. Her black hairs are cutted all the way to her central back, neither long, nor short, just in between them. She rode her red bicycle as fast as she could, and then passes the welcome board, entering into the city, and soon out of Nabeel's eyes. Nabeel then stops then pushes the brakes as he almost got involved in a accident, which could hurt him.

"These people today are unmannerful, ungracious, unpolished, and really rude" he complains practicing his vocabulary. He likes to do that, sometimes either trying to impress people, or just taking a break from the normal words.

"Tree..cko" Treecko says something as he points to a green bush nearby. Nabeel then looks where he is pointing and gets surprised by sighting the same Shroomish from Oldale, the one he fought. He can tell that she was the same from Oldale because she had couple brown spots, instead of a green ones, which were enough to tell her apart from other Shroomishs.

"Ohh, this is the same one from Oldale...lets catch it" He shouts as Treecko uses Quick Attack, trying to interrupt the Shroomish, and to join the battle. As soon as Shroomish sights the re-disappearing Treecko, she accepts the battle and then uses Stun Spore. Shroomish walks toward Treecko as several tiny brown colored powders departs from Shroomish's small body, gazing all around Treecko.

"Treecko, try Quick Attack" Nabeel orders as Treecko starts disappearing and then re-appearing in the matter of seconds. The brown spores finally drowse, and dies to the ground.

"Yes, Treecko tackle straight at Shroomish" Nabeel commands as Treecko hits Shroomish with a "boom". But Shroomish quickly defends with a Absorb attack. Shroomish focuses as several yellowish-spots comes straight from Treecko, absorbing his energy.

"Treecko, use your Razor Leaf" Nabeel says as a bunch of green leaves strikes Shroomish from both of the big leaves, located right behind Treecko's wrist. The Razor Leaf attack wasn't supper effective, but damaged enough to weaken Shroomish.

"Pokeball, Go" Nabeel takes a empty pokeball from his belt and then throws it toward Shroomish, confining Shroomish with a green beam of light. The ball wiggles as Shroomish tries her best to escape. Finally, she probably realizes that she would have a better life with Nabeel and stops emerging, and the pokeball finally freezes, turning into a full green color.
Nabeel gazes toward the pokeball, picking it and then kissing it.

"Yeah, my first catch" He gets happy as he and Treecko joys and then Nabeel throw's Shroomish's pokeball. With a green beam of mystical light, Shroomish appears. The cute pokemon looks a little worried, probably unknown of her surroundings.

"It's okay Shroomish. I am your trainer, and you are safe with me" Nabeel tries to make Shroomish feel comfortable. He continues, "this is Treecko, my other pokemon. My name is Nabeel, and I have just become a trainer. Now, don't hesitate and you have full rights to express your opinion" He sounds like a lawyer as Shroomish get happy and then jumps in Nabeel's arms. After a few minutes of talk, Nabeel returns Shroomish to her pokeball. He then rides all the way to Petalburg, crossing the welcome board. As he enters the city he notices several boards, a board which tells you some important places to visit in Petalburg for visitors, a board for trainers to visit, and it only had a GYM sign on it. Another board tell you the next route and other things.

Nabeel sights people everywhere, there are shops all around him. He gets excited as he finds out that he just crossed an Auto shop, a theatre, and a Food mart. These places were barely seen in Little Root. He also crosses a Holiday Inn motel, a huge building. Then he comes across a road, marked "Cross Street" going east and west, and a street called "Main street" going north and south. There was also a sign that read "Pokemon GYM" and there was a arrow pointed to the right. A sign which read Pokemon Center also pointed to the right. Nabeel takes a right since he wants to make his first stop at the gym.

As he rides about a mile in the warm weather with a inevitable Sun, another roads appear, and there's a pokemon center at the right, much like Oldale's. There's another road going east and west, to the right is a sign which points to the right and there's Pokemon Gym written on it.. Nabeel takes a right as he is going to the pokemon gym. The road is the same as the others, with people and several shops surrounding it. As Nabeel rides for a couple of miles, he sees a small white building, which has a big "GYM" on it in huge red writing. There's also a door, probably the entrance. Nabeel parks his bicycle in the parking lot, right beside the gym, and then Nabeel and Treecko enters the building.

Nabeel and Treecko takes a deep breath as there's a Air Conditioner in the building. He also sights many trainers sitting on the brown benches. There's a counter deep, inside the room, which has a door on both sides of it. The door to the right is marked "Gym Entrance". On the counter is a lady sitting on a black, rolling chair. She looks like she is in her mid 40s, with black glasses, gray eyes and black boyish hairs. She is wearing a black coat, with a white shirt and black dress pants, for women. There's a pretty short line behind the counter, a tall boy, a girl with blonde hairs, and a black man. Nabeel gets in the line as he doesn't know what to do, and a lot of people here doesn't look friendly. Suddenly a girl appears from the door on the left, carrying a hurted Torchic. She runs to the exit as many trainers get worried, not because of the injured Torchic, but probably because that shows that the gym leader must be really strong. The girl exits, and Nabeel identifies her, the same girl whose bicycle almost tackled Nabeel. She then gets her red bicycle and puts her Torchic in the basket with a small pillow in it, and then takes a right, right where Nabeel came from.

After a few minutes of waiting, as Nabeel thinks about the girl and the Torchic, the lady distracts him, by saying, "How can I help you?". Nabeel then turns his mind from the girl and her pokemon, and back to his business.

"Yeh...yes. I wanted to battle the gym leader to earn a badge" He says as he looks up at the lady, who smiles and then says,"very well. Can I see your I.D please?" Nabeel gets confused as he doesn't have any I.D. card.

"I don't have a driving license mam" He answers as he thinks that she is talking about a driving license.

"Oh, no. I am talking about your pokemon I.D card. Is this your first gym?" She asks as Nabeel nods, "yeah, I just started my journey yesterday" The lady smiles and then she fixes her finger on the keyboard, with a computer in front of her.

"Okay, then we need to get you registered here" she verbalizes as Nabeel listens. She uses the mouse and then click. She continues, "Okay, what is your full name?"

"Nabeel Siddiqui" he explains as he speaks in a clear voice.

"Okay, Nabeel is spelled N-a-b-e-el, and Siddiqui is S-i-d-d-i-c-i. Is that it?" She asks as she types at the same time.

"The first name is right, but my last name is: S-i-d-d-i-q-u-i" She then nods and then types fast.

"Where were you born?" She asks as she presses the enter button.

"Little Root Town...do you need my address?" He asks as he knows that they might need his home address.

"Yes, certainly" She replies as Nabeel quickly speaks, "Its 2707 Four Season BLVD FB 14 Little Root" 2707 is the house number, Four Season BLVD is the street name, and FB 14 means Federal B-area # 14.

"Very well. Now, I need your birth date, and here is the finger print taker to take your finger prints" She asks, and then Nabeel quickly replies, " 25th October, 1989" He looks at the small machine and a blank white paper, marked "Finger Prints" And then right below it read "right thumb for male and left for females" Nabeel puts his right and presses it against the soft finger print taker.

"Last thing, we need your picture" She says as she takes a camera and then "snap" as Nabeel smiles, and then a picture pops up from the digital camera.

"Okay, all done. Here's your temporary ID. The original one will arrive on your home address in about two weeks. If you don't receive one, simply call 100-ID" She finishes as she hands Nabeel a paper made ID, a square-shaped paper, with his name on it. Above his name read "Official Hoenn Trainer ID" and below it read "Temporary only". He still looks questioned, and asks, "So, what can you do with this ID?" She then clears her throat and answers him, "You can do several things with it. You can battle a gym leader and earn a badge, participate in Pokemon Contest, different tournaments and the Pokemon league anywhere" She explains as Nabeel understands and then says, "Ohh, thanks. Now, I want to battle the gym leader" participating in all those tournaments was just awesome. She couldn't wait until he enters one.

"Okay, you see all these people in this room? All of them are waiting for their turn to battle the gym leader" She explains as Nabeel turns around and then stares at all the people sitting on the benches. The lady then continues, "here's a slip for you. After two hours at 7:30. And be back, or else you will lose your turn" Nabeel then takes the slip and stares at it. It says "Petalburg Gym Battle time" right below was Nabeel's name and the time and the date he is suppose to show up in order to battle the gym leader.

"Okay, then...thanks" He says as he exits the building. He checks his watch, its just 5:26, two hours.

"What do you want to do, Treecko?" He asks the gecko pokemon as he gets exhausted as well.

"I know, lets get you and Shroomish healed at the pokemon center" Nabeel says as he takes his bike and Treecko hops in the basket. Nabeel then starts riding his bicycle toward the pokemon center, that he saw before. Soon they reaches the pokemon center. Nabeel parks his bicycle and then Treecko and Nabeel enters in. Nabeel suddenly sights the girl with the injured Torchic. She looks kind of sad, until a lady wearing a blue pants and a white plain shirt shows up from the back door. Nabeel then gazes toward the counter where the lady sits.

"You Torchic is all right, it just needed some healing" She speaks in a soft, caring voice.

"Thank You nurse. How long will it take her to get healthy again?" She asks, in a sweet, but a deep voice.

"Just a few minutes. And how can I help you young man?" She asks to Nabeel as he replies quickly as usual, "yes, I want to get my pokemon healed" The lady then smiles and then calls, "Okay, $3 for each pokemon" Nabeel then takes out his wallet and looks through his money. He gets shocked as he notices that he only have two $10 bills.

"Okay, here's my Shroomish and my Treecko" He says as he hands the nurse a green pokeballs, and then picks up Treecko and hands him to the nurse.

"I am sorry but we can only heal him when he is inside his pokeball. You know our equipments aren't the latest" She says as Nabeel speaks, "Treecko, just get in your pokeball for couple of minutes and you will be out of your pokeball" Treecko nods and then Nabeel points the pokeball at him, absorbing Treecko with a green beam of light. Nabeel then hands the pokeballs to the nurse, who then take them and then set the pokeballs in a gray colored machine. She then pressed a red button, and you can hear the noises that the machine was making. It sounds like the machine is pretty old. The nurse then opened the door on the left, marked MIR. Nabeel then sits on the bench, beside the girl.

"Hi, I saw you running in the gym with a Torchic" he asks as he wants to make a friend, specially girls, because he never had a real female friend.

"Hi, yeah. Torchic did really good against the mighty Slaking. But she was almost fainted" She answers in a friendly tone. She then puts moves her tank top down a little, covering her whole body.

"Ohh, a Slaking. He must be really powerful. So, how is she doing now?" He asks amazingly. He always thought that Slakoth was really strong, because he once saw one in the fighting tournament, when Slakoth easily knocked out Mr. Kamil's Machoke. Slakings are usually slow, but that one was really energetic.

"Yeah, but no big deal for a Silver and Johto League champion" She answers comfortingly. She feels really proud of herself.

"Ohh, are you saying that you are a champion of Silver League and the Johto league?" Nabeel asks as he gets up, and then feels kinda proud as well, talking to a champion from two leagues.

"That was nothing. Me and my pokemon overwhelmed every trainer there" explains the girl.

"Ohh, so what's your good name?" He asks in hope that he might have heard it somewhere.

"Ohh, I am known as Sarah Cort, a 13-year old from Pacifidlog Town, and who are you? she asks as Nabeel tries to remember her name.

"Well, I have not heard of it" He asks suspiciously, as she moves her hand to back of her head, and then says, "Ohh, I beat the league about two years ago" She moves her hand back to its regular position.

"Oh, I am Nabeel, Nabeel Siddiqui. I am a 13 year old, from Little Root. I just started my journey today afternoon" he introduces himself.

"Okay, so you are a newbie and let me take a guess: You are going to battle the gym leader here...Am I right" She asks.

"Yes, correct. It would be really helpful if somebody experienced like you, can help me in battle" He asks as she looks kinda mushy.

"I am sorry, but..." She says but Nabeel cuts her.

"Ohh, please..please" He pledges as she still looks unsure.

"Well, okay" She looks a little worried but then recovers as she sights her Torchic, in the nurse's hands.

"Here's your Torchic, and here's your bill" She says. She then hands her a little, perky looking Torchic.

"Thanks nurse, Torchy are you okay?" Torchic replies as she calls "Tor..chic" Sarah then takes the bill and then skims through it.

"What, $10?" She then looks through her small purse, and just finds a $5 bill.

"Do you need extra money?" Nabeel asks friendly.

"Ah..ah, Yes. You see I spent all of my money that I received in beauty parlors" She explains as Nabeel quickly takes out a $10 bill.

"I don't have any change. You can pay me back later" He says.

"Thank You. I will pay you as soon as I get some money" She explains as she the nurse takes the $10 bill from Nabeel's hand.

"Okay, your pokemon are healed as well" She calls as she opens a side of the machine and then takes two pokeball and then hands them to Nabeel.

"Here's your bill" She says as she hands Nabeel a same old sheet of paper that the nurse from Oldale gave him.

"I don't need the bill, here is a $10 bill, since I don't have any change" he clarifies as Sarah looks at him adorably. The nurse then hands him four 1$ bills, and he keeps them safe in his pants pocket.

"Gee, you are pretty rich" she compliments.

"Yeah, we are widely known all over Little Root. We have a large bungalow, with a swimming pool, a lawn, and a tennis court" he exclaims proudly. He usually don't like to lie, but he do for a change.

"Ohh" he says amazingly. Nabeel then puts Shroomish's green ball in his belt and then releases Treecko.

"How are you doing Grassy?" He asks.

"Tree..cko" he exclaims as he stands beside Nabeel.

"Grassy, this is Sarah" he introduces as Treecko says "Treecko" in a hello way for pokemon.

"Hi Grassy, and this is Torchy, my pokemon" She introduces as Torchic speaks, "Torchic" in a disrespectful voice to Treecko, who replies "Treecko" quickly.

"Okay Torchic, don't fight please" he orders as he tries to protect Treecko.

"Ohh, so this is my Torchy. Torchy blast those terrorist with a ember" She orders as Torchic starts firing at Treecko, who quickly dodges.

"I am sorry mam, but we are the peace-lovers here. And, we peace-lovers don't fight" He answers. Treecko keep dodging the ember from Torchic.

"Please stop fighting. Both of your pokemon started the fight" the nurse tries to build peace in the small pokemon center.

"I wasn't even fighting. The Torchic in the north side started the fight" He protests.

"I know it wasn't your fault Torchy, but these people with curvy ears don't listen" she laughs as she returns Torchic to her pokeball.

"Fine, I don't care. Well, let's go to the gym Treecko. Its already 7" He says as he walks toward the exit, but stops.

"Are you coming?" he asks as he realizes that it was his fault too.

"Okay, ride on loser" she says as she takes her bicycle and then both of them races to the gym.

"Beat ya" Sarah says, breathing wildly as she parks her bicycle.

"I was enjoying the wind" he replies as he smirks and then parks his bicycle, picking Treecko.

"So, you weren't racing...and..I was..." She asks surprisingly as she breaths ten times faster than usual.

"Sorry" Nabeel replies in a funny voice and then he bursts out laughing.

"Oh, Shut Up. This is going to cost you" she says as Nabeel smiles and then both of them enters the Gym. They sight the same lady, but this time, there wasn't any line.

"Hi, so you are back. You can just go straight to the last trainer lost in two minutes" She explains as she points the way to Nabeel.

"Okay, thanks" he says as he heads toward the door.

"Are you feeling nervous. Its okay, I was too when I had my first gym battle against Norman"
Sarah says, comforting Nabeel.

"First battle? I thought you have already fought several.." He is distracted by a soft, clear male voice.

"So, are you the next challenger. Hi, Sarah, how's Torchic?" the male voice reveals to be Norman's, the gym leader of Petalburg. He is about 6'0 tall, with a athletic body, straight black hairs, and is wearing a blue jeans with a black T-Shirt, with red stripes on the short sleeves.

"Yeah, yes sir. I am Nabeel" he affirms gently. All of them then walks inside the gym arena, a huge gym, with a grown ground, the one that you see in basketball games. There was a white, vertical line, gazing across the center of the arena.

"Hi, Sarah, How's Torchic?" he asks welcomely.

"Oh, she is doing fine now" She replies she then turns around and then both Nabeel and the gym leader stands about 20 feet apart, at a point where they can hear the other clearly.

"This is the real gym. This is where a gym battle takes place. Are you ready, Nabeel?" Norman asks diligently. Then a short man wearing black shorts, with a white shirt with black stripes on it appears, holding a red flag. He have a small golden badge on it, which read "Referee" on it.

"Yes" Nabeel replies as Treecko stands beside him.

"Okay, so since this is trainer's first gym battle, we will have to ask him if he have at least two pokemon?" the referee asks as Nabeel nods.

"Okay, then it will be a 2 on 2 match. The match shall start" He announces as he sits on a chair, placed on a side of the gym. Sarah walks to the bench on the Nabeel's side and takes a seat.

"Come on out, Whisy" Norman yells as he throws a pokeball. Out comes a really small, round, pink colored pokemon, with bunny ears, yellow on the top. He also have really small hands and feet, with tiny blinking eyes.

"Whis..whis" the pokemon cries.

"What the? I know that the pokemon I battled was much stronger than this baby" Sarah gets tempered as Nabeel cools her down, "Ohh sir, she didn't meant it. He looks pretty strong" he made sure that the gym leader don't switch pokemon when he heard Sarah's comments.

"Well, if you want a puny pokemon..." Nabeel yells as he throws a green pokeball, revealing Shroomish. She then jumps up and down and jumps in Nabeel's arms.

"How are you doing Shroomish. Remember, I told you about me getting gym badges and stuff? Its time to battle" he ends as Shroomish gladly accepts the challenge and then stands in front of Nabeel.

"Ohh, you have a Shroomish, and you didn't tell me all along?" Sarah compliments at the perky Shroomish.

"Well, sorry" He says and then continue, "Are you ready?" he looks at Norman.

"Yeah, sure. The rules states that the trainer goes first" he explains.

"Ohh, okay then. Shroomish start off with your Stun spore" he orders as Shroomish nods and then walks toward Whismur as several tiny brown colored powders releases from her small body, gathering all around Whismur.

"Whisy, use your Clamour attack" Norman orders as Whismur focuses on his mind and then let go a really noise from his mouth. This is making a "aaaaagggghhhh" sound, making everybody cover their ears. Shroomish also gets kinda confused. All of a sudden, Whismur stops with that noise, and then races toward Shroomish, hitting her badly. Shroomish falls down, but quickly gets up.

"Yay, Shroomish show them your Mega Drain" He orders as Shroomish starts focusing on Wismur.

"Whisy quick, Scary face" Norman orders as Whismur gazes toward Shroomish, and opening his little mouth, and moving his hands in above his head, trying to scare her.

"Is he suppose to scare her?" Nabeel laughs as Shroomish finishes when yellowing bubbles burst from Whismur's body, weakening him.

"Whisy, use your tackle" Norman orders as Whismur runs toward Shroomish.

"Shroomish, use your Headbutt, right when Whismur comes near you" he orders as he thinks that what might Shroomish's head can be used for. As Whismur runs toward Shroomish, she quickly moves her head, and then striking up her head. Whismur falls down, definitely fainting. Norman returns Whismur as Nabeel and Shroomish celebrates.

"You were great, Shroomish! Now, lets face the other pokemon" He says as he kisses Shroomish on her cheeks.

"Great going Nabeel" Sarah compliments as Nabeel looks back at her, smiling.

"Great job Whisy, return" Norman remarks as the round pokemon returns to his pokeball with a flash. Nabeel just murmurs, praying to the god that the next pokemon Norman will send be a weak one.

"Now, go Vigoroth" he throws a white pokeball as a Ape-looking pokemon poses. He has a white-ape body, with a dark brown outline on his mouth and eyes. He has a red, round nose and a paint shaped mark right above his nose. He looks vigorous with his sharp claws, and a white tail. The white pokemon stands as tall as Nabeel's shoulder, but sure looks more stronger than him.

"What? I thought he's is going to use Slaking. Vigoroth is the pre-evolved form of Slaking" Sarah finished, disappointed as Nabeel looks kind of happy.

"Vigoroth, huh. Shroomish start off with your Mega Drain" he orders as Shroomish walks delightly toward Vigoroth, then makes a "rmmm" sound, and then the next minute, yellowish bubbles are bustling from Vigoroth's body.

"Great going Shroomish, now use your Tackle attack" he orders, showing his lack of experience in the battle as Shroomish runs straight at Vigoroth.

"Vigoroth, Quick Attack" Norman commands as Vigoroth disappears when Shroomish was about to tackle him, and then reappears behind her.

"Vigoroth, quick, Slash"

"Shroomish watch out!" but Vigoroth was much more faster, and as Shroomish turned around to know what's going on, she gets slashed by Vigoroth's sharp nails. She falls down, fainting.

"Superb job Vigoroth" Norman says as Vigoroth dances gladly.

"Uh, are you okay Shroomish" Nabeel calls as he runs to Shroomish, who is unconscious.

"Do you think I should take her to the pokemon center right now?" he asks Sarah as she looks kinda confuse, but then replies, "Ah, I don't think so. Just return her to the pokeball and take her to the pokemon center after the battle" she comforted Nabeel as he nods and then returns Shroomish to her pokeball.

"Okay Grassy, its up to you" He begs as Treecko nods and then steps up in front of Nabeel.

"Thank you Treecko" he says as he gets ready to go for the final round.

"Okay Grassy, show them your Razor Leaf attack" he orders as Treecko rotates and in a flash, he releases several green leaves from the big three leaves located on his each hands' wrist. Vigoroth dodges as the green leaves slowly reaches him.

"Vigoroth, use your Fury Swipes" Norman calls as Vigoroth jumps upside down and runs toward Treecko, and then he uses his sharp nails to scratch Treecko who tries to dodge him, but fails. Treecko then falls to the ground, but quickly gets up.

"You okay Grassy?" he asks unsurely. Treecko nods in a way and looks determined.

"Okay, then use your Mega drain" he yells as Treecko gazes toward the vicious looking Vigoroth and then jumps at it, but Vigoroth moves out of the way, causing Treecko to fall down.

"Vigoroth, great going, now use your Quick Attack" Norman yells as Vigoroth starts disappearing and then re-appearing toward the injured Treecko. The gecko pokemon then suddenly gets up, right when Nabeel thought it was over.

"Grassy, can you still battle?" he asks as Treecko replies, "Treecko" and then Nabeel orders, "Okay then, show 'em your Quick Attack" Treecko then starts disappearing and re-appearing. Everyone is now focuses on those blinking pokemon. Then, Vigoroth, the one who have the upper hand, reaches Treecko and as he was about to tackle him, Treecko disappears and then tackle him from the behind, causing him to fall down. But Vigoroth quickly gets up.

"Great job Grassy, keep up the Quick Attack" Nabeel determines Treecko as Norman loudly says, "Vigoroth, keep it up. You know you are faster" both of the pokemon then face and then suddenly as Treecko tries to tackle Vigoroth, who in return disappears, and tackle Treecko really hard. He tries to get up and succeeds.

"Treecko, try your Razor Leaf" he orders as Treecko quickly tries to release the green leaves from his wrist, but losses focus due to the Vigoroth running toward him. But suddenly right when Vigoroth reaches Treecko, he finally releases the leaves, but Vigoroth, too tackles him, because of his great speed. Both of the pokemon fall down, and you cannot even a Bee in the gym....Nabeel puts his hands together and prays for his unhopeful victory.....

Comments please!

Author's note: I know how I posted this chapter because I am just a few minutes away from going to New york city! Its a long weakend!

[Orion]

Cool!Definitely better than the last!The battle was good,and you described Petalburg very well.That girl is nice,but a bit rough;).I got kinda confused in some parts,though,like when Torchic attacks Treecko.The dialogue wasn't very clear, and I got kinda confused.The rest is OK,I just suggest you describe moves better:you need a bit more of work in there.

Now,the last thing I have to say is:Me likes cliffhangers!:DI hope the next chapter is as good!

[Zee Sage]

I LOVE THIS CHAPTER! But yeah heck was I confused with Torchic attacking Treecko. But one thing is Treecko's nickname Grassy or is it a shorter version of his name.

And another thing who do you think you are making Nabeel catch a Shroomish, I mean I had planned for that to be the character in my story's first catch but now I have to change it, all because of YOU!

JUST KIDDING! Fooled Ya didn't I, but anyway I found a suitable replacement for it so no worrys. Which brings me to my next point,
*gets down on knees and cups hands together*

Great job. You've done it again, Venasaur89! Nice cliffhanger at the end. I agree with the other posts; the part where Torchic attacked was confusing. Minor grammar errors were there, but you've been getting much better with that. If you look at your first chapter and then this one you'll notice a huge difference. You've definitely improved a lot. Keep it up! I'm looking forward to the next one.

[Venasaur89]

Sorry, I wasn't able to reply to all of these wonderful posters, because I was on vacation.

Orion,the Blue Star: Thanks for the reply! I tried to describe Petaburg a little larger than Oldale and Little Root, with few more buildings and stuff.

Servix: Thanks for the reply, I will be sure to read your story.

[B]Joe:[B/] Thanx for the reply, I kinda got mixed up in Torchic and Treecko's fight..sorry, I won't do it again! Thanks for telling me that I have improved....

People, this is the 100th post of this fic. Thank You! I used to look at those fanfics with dozens of pages with over 100 posts, and used to wonder if my fic gonna be like that too.

Thanks, and I will try to post the next chapter sometime in the upcoming weekend!

[Chris 2.1]

Well V89, It seems you're fanfic has come quite a long way in terms of post count. Despite your annoying PM I did come to see what the Hype was all about.

I noticed in Ch7 you really need to sort out your tenses. It's looking messy:


Last time, as Nabeel and Treecko enters the Oldale Town, they bumps into a dumpster as the bike's back wheel breaks. He then walks to a visitor center nearby and a man there tells him the directions to the nearby Auto Shop, where Nabeel can get his bike fixed. Then in his way to the Auto shop, Nabeel encounters a wild Shroomish and vows to catch it, but fails when Treecko fell right in the middle of the road, paralyzing. A car is about to hit Treecko when suddenly a well trained Blaziken grabs it and saves it in a matter of seconds. The Blaziken belongs to the unknown trainer, and then he transports Nabeel to the pokemon center. The nurse over there handles Treecko as Nabeel calls back home and then get on the computer. Treecko comes back to the full power, as they go to the Auto Shop, and gives the bike to be fixed. They then go to Ancient Ruins Center where Nabeel sights the same trainer with a Blaziken entering a room, only accessible for staff members. Then Nabeel reports that to a police officer to hurries to the gigantic building and then they enters the room where the trainer went, and gets surprised to find out a baby Groudon on a table. The pokemon belongs to the trainer Marty Poke, the Hoenn league champion. The scientist there then gathers all of the info about the Groudon and then the trainer leaves, as Nabeel says his goodbyes to Oldale as well., going toward the next destination-Petalburg, the sight of the first gym!

Now, this is all muddled and whatnot. LAST TIME indicates something happened in the past, so things like 'says' become 'said', 'belongs' becomes 'belonged' and 'hurries' becomes 'hurried'.

Lets see what it should be like:

Tats what the past tense should be, and it would help writing it in the past tense, you should find it a lot eisier to do so. Anyway, any confusion, just ask, K?

Keep it up,
~Chris

[Venasaur89]

Thanks fro reading my story Brit Chris!

Okay, well I figured out that I am using the present tense in that last time- thing. I will change that. For the rest of the story, I am using present tense and will keep doing that. The 8th chapter will be up either this weekend or sometime next week. It has been entitled, "A frisky, yet a frolic adventure".

Untill then.....

[DannyBoy]

That was a good chapter, can't wait to see who wins. Is this a special kind of Treecko? Cause they are not supposed to learn that attack but I like it cause it it goes with the pokemon since its a grass attack. It seems to be real strong in battle, again can't wait. Keep it up!

Thanks for the reply!

What attack do you mean? MEga Drian or Quick Attack...If its Mega Drian, then Treecko does learns Absorb, and its almost the same thing. GRovyle learns quick attack, so it doesn't matter. I will also be kinda switching some attacks and types around. Like Grovyle will be Grass/Flying and Blaziken will be Fire/Fighting/Flying, Raquaza wouldn't be able to use Surf, nor Earthquake, because it is not his type.

And also, my computer was kinda not working correctly so I just turned it off and left, and didn't had time to write the chapter...so this means that the chapter will be delayed....

Sorry, I was talking about razor leaf. BUt I do like the idea of you mixing types, that clears some things up. A flying gecko should be intresting to see. Sorry to confuse you, I should have said Razor leaf.

okay....I always thought that Razor leaf suites Treecko...and was really surpised when it didn't learned it in the game. Yeah, Ia m keeping both, Grovyle and Sceptile a grass/flying type, but Treecko is a pure grass type.

Just out of curiosity, how do you put the images of different Pokemon at the bottom of your posts, like what IloveX-TINA has in their signature?

[DannyBoy]

To get them click here Click Here (http://pokemasters.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=210&page=1)

Once you get there, wait for all the pics to load. Then after that right click it and click properties. After that a window will come up and on it in the middle will be a link. Highlight it and copy it. Then in your sig put it in there and do all the [img] thing to it and there ya go. Hope it helps you.

Just a question if the Torchic line are based on chickens/roosters which can't fly why should Blaziken be Fire/Fighting/Flying ?
Also great fanfic so far.

[Diamondlance]

Thanks, IloveX-TINA! I really appreciate your help. Hey, Venasaur89! You're killing me! I know you're busy with school, so I'm not trying to nag. But, please put the next chapter up soon, or at least let me know when it will be up. Thanks!

[Venasaur89]

OKay........I am really sorry people for not putting the chapter up. I just need to edit it and make some slight changes in it. Hopefully, it will be up by 10:00 today, if not then I promise you it will be up tommorow. and I am not blaming my school or anything, its my fault. I kinda got lazy and stuff.


Thanks readers, and please keep reading!

P.S> Welcome to the fanfic pikachurocks! Torchic is kinda chicken, and Combusken too is a rooster, but Blaziken has those back wings, which helps it fly. But that doesn't mean that he can wander across skies like a Pidgeotto.

[Venasaur89]

I am still alive!!

The long-awaited chapter is finally here!!!!

Here's the next chapter.

Last time.... As Nabeel reached Petalburg, a girl almost hit him on a red colored bicycle, which then entered Petalburg. As Nabeel got closer to the city, he saw the same Shroomish he fought in Oldale. With the help of Treecko's Razor Leaf attack and because the Shoomish was already weak, he captured the grass pokemon. He then entered Petalburg and vowed to challenge the gym leader, but was averted due to the long line of trainers. He sighted the same girl who almost bumped him, holding an injured Torchic. However, he registered at the gym and got his temporary trainer ID. The receptionist fixed Nabeel's time for the battle, and then he went to the pokemon center. There, he met the same girl with Torchic, who introduced herself as Sarah, a 13-year old from Pacifidlog Town. She fascinated Nabeel by telling him that she is the former Johto and the Silver league champion. After spending some time talking Nabeel headed toward the gym, as said on the gymslip, along with Sarah. There, he met Norman, the Petalburg gym leader, who mainly trains normal types. They entered the gym, a rectangle shaped arena, looked much like a sports gym, with a wooden floor. The 2 vs 2 match began as Nabeel started off with his newly caught Shroomish, while the gym leader used a small, quiet Whismur. Nabeel told Shroomish to start off with a Stun Spore, but Whismur managed to dodge the attack, and defended with a Clamour attack, causing a loud, weird noise. Then, all of a sudden, the normal pokemon tackled Shroomish, who was confused with that loud buzz. Nabeel then ordered Shroomish to use Mega Drain, but Whismur quickly countered with scary face, but failed to scare Shroomish at all. Norman then told Whismur to finish Shroomish off with a Tackle attack while Nabeel quickly orders a Headbutt, which successfully strikes Whismur, who fell down and fainted. Second round begin as Norman's Vigoroth easily defeats Shroomish with a Slash attack. Then Treecko came next as the battle continues. Both of the pokemon attacked each other and then compare their speed as both of them are using Quick Attack...will Nabeel stand victorious? Or will he not....

--------------

Chapter 8: A frisky, yet a frolic adventure



"Grassy, are you all right?" Nabeel calls as he runs toward his injured Treecko. Across Treecko, is the usually vigorous Vigoroth, which now looks more distressed than vigorous.

"According to the Pokemon Battling Organization rules, If you helps Treecko right now, then Vigoroth will stand as a winner. Do you wish to give up?" the Referee breaks up as Nabeel looks at him, who gets more saddened.

"Okay.." he says as he decides to wait for either pokemon to get up. He then walks up to where he was standing before, the trainer course.

"Vigoroth, you can do it...get up" the gym leader yells as a pokemon figure starts to stand up.

"Go Grassy..Please try to get up" he cheers, with certain tears in his eyes. Suddenly the pokemon figure completely stands up and then...

"Great job Vigoroth! I knew that you going to do it" Norman congratulates as the pokemon figure reveals to be Vigoroth's white body. Norman then cheerfully walks up to Vigoroth and picks him up. The referee judges Vigoroth the victorious.

"The victorious of this gym battle is Vigoroth. Therefore, the gym leader, Norman is awarded as the winner of this battle. If the challenger wants a re-match, he can only fight him again after winning a burrent" the referee interrupts.

"Grassy..." Nabeel sighs, disappointed and then walks up to Treecko. The gecko pokemon replies "tree....cko". Nabeel then hugs him as he sees Sarah, standing in front of him.

"Common now.....you don't need to get emotional and stuff" she tries to comfort him but doesn't fully relief him. Nabeel looks up at her as she continues, "You and your pokemon tried their best, and yall are kind of newbies, and you haven't even battled much. Of course, Norman's Vigoroth had the upper-hand but Treecko gave him a great fight...but just wasn't strong enough to beat him" she finishes as Nabeel cleans tears off his eyes.

"Okay....I was just a bit disappointed about this battle, but we will try better next time" he says as all of them cheers as Treecko calls "Treecko" in a healthy voice. Nabeel then walks toward the referee who is walking toward a green door.

"Excuse me sir" he says as the blonde, old man somewhere in his 50s looks at him.

"Yes, do you have something to ask?" he asserts as Nabeel quickly responses, "Yes, I was curious about how can I fight Mr. Norman a re-match?" he says in a soft tone.

"Okay, was this your first gym battle?" he asks as Nabeel nods. He then continues, "Very well young man, if you want a re-match, you must win a burrent. I don't think that you know about a burrent, do you?" he asks as he moves his hand to his white beard.

"No, but I would certainly like to know" he answers respectively.

"Okay, winning a burrent means winning a gym badge, a pokemon contest prize, or any kind of legal pokemon tournament. So it means that in order for you to battle Mr. Norman a re-match, you must win either a gym badge, a pokemon contest, or a legal pokemon tournament" he finished after explaining everything to Nabeel.

"Okay, thanks" he thanks the referee as he thinks about getting a burrent as soon as possible. He then walks up to Sarah and sights Norman talking to her.

"Okay, so you can have a re-match later. I am planning to...." Norman talks to Sarah as he sees Nabeel. He then looks at him and comments about their match, "I have to say, you were really impressive for a newbie...are you planning for a re-match?" he asks as Nabeel answers quickly.

"Thanks...yes, of course as soon as I get a burrent" he answers as Norman says bye to them and then walks away.

"We should be going to the pokemon center now, I have to get Shroomish and Treecko back to their normal health" he says as Sarah nods and both of them along with Treecko, walks toward the EXIT sign on the opposite side of the gym.

"So do you know, where the next gym is?" he asks as Sarah looks a bit confused.

"Yeah, sure...it's in Mau....Mauville City" she answers confusingly. They then enters into the gym registering room where there are only few people, they head toward the EXIT sign.

"Okay, then I will get the badge from there, and then come back over here for a re-match" he assures himself as they now completely exit the GYM building and the dark-blue sky stares at them as Nabeel says..

"Crap...its already 9, I can't believe my match was too long" he remarks as both of them get on their bikes.

"Yup, it sure does....race ya to the pokemon center" Sarah exclaims as she rides really fast on the left side of the empty road, followed by Nabeel. Both of them reach the pokemon center in five minutes as Nabeel wins the race, having an upper hand because of his male-strength. They park their bicycles and then enter the pokemon center, which contains only a a nurse, standing beside a Breloom.

"Uh, how can I help you guys?" the nurse asks diligently. She is wearing black stockings over a black skirt and a light-weighted black coat, revealing the upper part of her cleavage.

"Yeah, I need to get my Shroomish and my Treecko healed" he says as he returns Treecko and then hands his and Shroomish's pokeball to the nurse.

"Very well, it will be $2 for each" she says as she fix the pokeballs in a special machine and then presses a red, round button. The gray colored machine starts with a "wheeeeeem".

"Ohh crap, I only got $5! I need more money than that" he complains as he hands the nurse a $5 bill, which in return hands him a dollar.

"I thought you were rich...." she laughs as Nabeel quickly defends himself, "I am rich. I will just have to call my family and then they will send me some $20 bills!" he answers as Sarah gets quiet.

"How much for the phone usage?" he asks as the nurse quickly unlock the register, puts the money in and then locks it with a key.

"75 cents" she replies as Nabeel powers up.

"What? 75 cents...it was 50 cents in Oldale?" he asks madly.

"What's the difference between 50 and 75 cents?" Sarah asks rudely.

"50 cents are equal to two quarters, and 75 are three quarters" he answers quickly as she says "Shut Up".

"The rates are different everywhere" the nurse responses softly.

"Okay, well how much computer time is there?" he asks a question one more time. He then hands a dollar bill to the nurse, who in returns hands him a small, round quarter.

"Computer time. You will have to pay a dollar for 5 minutes, honey" she responses sweetly.

"What? no computer time...crap, yall suck" he says as he leaps toward the phone.

"What's the problem with you...always want the best things" Sarah remarks as he turn around.

"Yes, I always want the best things because I earn them, I deserve them" he assures as Sarah calls out another "shut up" from her mouth. Nabeel then sits on a chair, facing the telephone and then dials the number '336-547-0655'. After a few dial tones, his dad, Mr. Kamil, picks up the phone by saying 'hello'.

"Hello, dad, how are you doing?....yes, I am fine..I am at Petalburg right now...yeah, yeah, I have caught a Shroomish...yes the gym leader.........ohh, I lost.......yeah..yeah...dad..I needed some money if it's possible..I only got a quarter left...yeah, I know...they charge for the pokemon center...okay, my trainer ID number is 213807296...yeah..thanks..bye..bye.." he hangs up the phone and joyfully walks up to Sarah, who's sitting on a chair.

"Yee, haa....I am getting hundred bucks..."he says proudly.

"Soo, who cares?" she replies back as Nabeel sits down beside her and unzips his backpack, taking his Pokenav out. He then presses a small, black button, turning the grey machine on. He then chooses the next gym and then presses 'okay', and then 'Rustboro City' is shown on the screen.

"What? I thought you said the next gym is in Mauville City? But it says Rustboro here" he said doutly. Sarah looks a little confuse but then replies, "Ohh, I probably messed up a little".

"Okay, excuse me, nurse. Is there a restaurant nearby?" he asks since he hasn't eaten anything all afternoon.

"Yeah, there are several restaurants here. But, most of them are really expensive. So, I would suggest you to eat at 'Trainer's Stop'. It is a small restaurant designed specially for traveling trainers" she finished as Nabeel joys.

"Okay then, Trainer's Stop it is. Are you coming Sarah?" he asks as Sarah stands up.

"Yeah, sure. But, I got to go to the bathroom" she utters as she quickly walks down to the opposite side of the room, which has a Restroom sign on the wall, facing to the right.

"Okay, but hurry up" he states as they hear a small 'teepee' from the pokemon-healing machine.

"Okay, here are your pokemon" the nurse hands the two pokeball to Nabeel.

"Gee, thanks" he says as he throws Treecko's pokeball, and the green pokemon appears.

"Hi Grassy. We are going to a restaurant to get some food" he explains to Treecko as the pokemon replies "treecko" happily. Then Nabeel slightly throws the light green, brownish pokeball, revealing Shroomish.

"Hi Shroomish, we are going to a restaurant to eat some food" he delights as Shroomish replies "Shroo". Then they head toward the EXIT sign as they see Sarah coming. Her perky Torchic is walking beside her. Sarah then stops and says....

"Excuse me, can you tell us where that 'Trainer's Stop' restaurant is?" she asks as the nurse answers, "Yes, sure. Take a right from here, then a.....left on the second street light, and it will be on your right" she explains as Sarah smiles and says, "Thank You"...

"Yeah, thanks for everything" Nabeel calls. Then they exit the door as the nurse call back, "Oh, no problem". They then get on their bikes as Treecko and Shroomish have to squish through on the medium-size bicycle basket. While, Torchic on the other hand, is sitting in comfort as she is the only pokemon Sarah have.

"Do not ride on roads. Stay on the pathway" Sarah calls as Nabeel nods and then both of them take a right on the separate pathway, merging from the pokemon center. There's heavy traffic in sight as Nabeel sights a cool, blue Chevrolet truck with a vast, empty area at the back, as well as it is capable for four people to sit on at front. Then they pass a long, white-Mercedes, which is the dream of every businessman of today. They then come across the signal light, which is red across from them and green upside down. At the right corner, there's a huge brown colored building, known as 'Petalburg Stade', and right in front of it, is a small sign that reads 'Parking' and is pointed to the left. After several cars pass to either right, left, or straight, Nabeel is the first one to cross the street really carefully. He looks around as he is crossing, and behind him, is riding Sarah. Then Nabeel goes to full speed, as the thick pathway is empty of any people or bikers. The city is sparkling with the purple streetlights about every 15 feet. "Ha, I am feeling the wind" Nabeel wonders as they come across the second street light.

The road seems to be empty, except for some fancy Motor Cycles going straight. So Nabeel decides to go straight as well, but...

"Nabeel, we have to take a right from here" Sarah yells in a sudden, as Nabeel quickly responds, "Ohkay, I forgot" he quickly tries to turn right on the center of the road as there's not much traffic around, but as he turns right, a blue colored, 4-doors car comes his way, almost hitting him, but the Mazda driver tries his best to avoid the accident, and succeeds by turning all the way to the left. He was fortunate that there wasn't any vehicle on the left, or else, it would have tackled it.

"Ahhh..." Nabeel yells, as his heart pounds faster than his bicycle. Treecko and Shroomish now open their eyes after they got pretty scared when Nabeel almost bumped the car. He then quickly moves the bike to the left pathway, securing his way.

"Nabeel, what you doing?" Sarah yells quickly from the opposite side.

"Sorry guys.... I shouldn't have done that" he apologizes as Treecko gladly cries "treecko" and Shroomish, too calls her name happily. Then as Nabeel drives about half a mile, they see a small open building titled 'Trainer's stop' and there's a parking lot at the right. So Nabeel parks his bicycle as well as Sarah, who had to cross the road. Then after they get off their bikes....

"That was really close Nabeel, you should ride more carefully" she comments as they walk toward the restaurant. Several people are sitting on the tables which have been placed outside.

"Yeah, I guess I was in a bit hurry" he regards as he opens the door and lets everybody else in. There's a large hall, with plastic tables and chairs, much like McDonald's. There's a short line of customers, and you can see people fixing food behind the counter. There's a brown table which contains dozen packets of Ketchup, Mayonnaise, Mustards, and red colored packets titled Hot Sauce.

"Well, what do you want?" Nabeel asks as they are standing beside the Entrance/Exit door.

"Get me a Kebab sandwich, and a medium pack of fries" she says as Nabeel makes mindful face but then walks to the counter as Sarah calls, "Also, don't forget to get a large ice-cold coke for me" he just ignore her voice and get in the line. There is a big, black, man standing in front of him. He then quickly orders and then walks to the right.

"Hi, a Kebab and a Fish sandwich, with two packs of medium fries and a coke. Also, do yall have any kind of pokemon food?" He asks commandingly. The guy at the counter has fair skin, wearing a plain white shirt with plain, blue pants. He has a small, black mustache.

"Okay, it will be $5.00. Which type of pokemon food do you want: the main one, or the advanced one?" the cashier asks in a squeaky tone. He then looks back at some people wearing plastic gloves working, some of them cooking, while the others are in a hustle.

"5 dollars for just two sandwiches and a couple of fries?" he asks rudely as the cashier responses, "Yes, don't forget that coke. Do you want to know how this restaurant is different from other local ones? The government doesn't charge tax here, he have many deals to offer. We have the best, and the cheapest pokemon food here..."

"Okay, okay. I know all of these 'illusions'. And for the pokemon food, give me two packs" he says as the cashier calls "2 packs of pokemon food please" to the back people, who are just working like a machine: taking fries off from the pan, frying some sandwiches, and serving food at the Drive-Thru.

"Here, 5 dollars please" the cashier asks as Nabeel looks through his left pockets, and finds nothing. Then he searches his right pocket and find something....

"Ohh, here" he says quietly as he puts a quarter on the register.

"Excuse me sir, your total bill is $5 not 25 cents. Do you want me to charge you?" he asks as Nabeel gets happy.

"Yeah, please" he gladly accepts the deal as the salesman takes out a flyer, consist of about 5 or 6 pages and hands it to Nabeel as well as a receipt.

"Please read this handbook for the rules and regulations when charging. What's your trainer ID?" he asks as Nabeel quickly answers, "213807296". He puts the Charging handbook in the right pockets of his backpack.

"Okay, thanks. $5 are due in your account" he says as Nabeel nods and in a second, his food arrive in a tray with two packs of fries, two sandwiches wrapped in foil paper, and a coke. There are also six plastic plates placed on the tray. He takes the tray, and walks to the table with food seasoning. He picks up several ketchups and a straw. Then he sees Sarah with all of the pokemon sitting on a plastic, rubber table. He then goes their and puts the tray in center....

"Here's the food" he says as he sits beside Shroomish on the right, and at the very end is Treecko. Across from them is Sarah on the left and Torchic at the right.

"Thanks..." Sarah regards as she takes a plate and then rips the two pokemon food packets off and then scramble them on the plate, which she places at the center, so that Treecko, Shroomish, and Torchic can easily reach it. Then the pokemon starts eating, as well as the trainers.

"Gee, I the kebab sandwich is...delicious!" she exclaims as she rips the ketchup packet and quickly pushes it from the rear end, getting the red ketchup out. Nabeel too is taking a bite of his fish sandwich, then a fry.

"Yeah, it just feels like home" he comments as he continues eating his Fish and fry. The food made him feel just like Ms. Ruby's back in Little Root.

"Isn't the food delicious?" Nabeel asks the pokemon, who are eating the small, brown bites. "Treecko..." the Treecko exclaims, so does Shroomish and Torchic. After about ten minutes of continuous eating.....

"Ahh, I am all filled up" Nabeel comments as he gets up and looks up at the empty tray.

"Yeah, me too" Sarah adds as the pokemon exclaims as well. They then get up and walk toward the exit. They get outside as Nabeel's watch makes a 'toon' noise, he then looks at it, and then says...

"Crap, its 11 already, hey what's that sign over there?" he looks at a small rectangular shaped building, which have a blue sign in front of it. It reads, 'Trainer's Rest Area; Your rest is our pleasure'.

"Huh, I think we should check it out" Sarah says as they take their bicycles and then heads toward the entrance, which is right beside the restaurant. Nabeel opens the door as they go in.
There's a counter, and a old lady with white hairs in sitting on a chair.

"How may I help you" she asks elegantly. Nabeel then goes to the counter to talk to her.

"Hi, we are pokemon trainers, and were passing by, when we saw the Trainer's Rest Area sign. So, what is this actually?" he asks as the lady quickly responses, "Okay, Trainer's Rest Area is a rest area for trainers all around Hoenn. You can sleep on a bed here for free for a maximum of 2 days. After 2 days, the charge is $10 per night, where you get a separate room" she finishes.

"So, that means that we can stay here for free"? Sarah asks, not controlling her emotions as the lady nods.

"Okay then, we need two beds" Nabeel says quickly as the lady responses, "Okay, I need both of your names and your trainer IDs" Nabeel and Sarah quickly takes out their trainer ID cards.

"I am Nabeel Siddiqui. N-a-b-e-e-l, S-i-d-d-i-q-u-i. My trainer ID number is 213807296" he slowly tells her.

"Okay, very well. What about you young lady?" she asks Sarah as Sarah explains, "Sarah Cort. My ID number is 215470655" she finishes as Nabeel calls out....

"Hey, how come my ID number and your ID number are almost the same when you said you began your journey about two years ago?" he suspects as Sarah looks a bit confused and then says, "Well, I don't know....it doesn't matter" she then moves backwards.

"You just got your temporary ID a week ago, right?" the old lady suddenly breaks up as Sarah looks a little embarrass.

"Well, well. I bet you don't have any answer for this. And I was right all the time about this weak Torchic...so you better tell me the truth before something else happens" he confines as Sarah says...

"Okay, I will tell you everything.. just wait" she confesses as the old lady says, "Okay, registration is complete. Now, your hall is Hall # D. Go in and choose a bed to sleep on. And please, stay out of trouble" she finishes as they walk past the entrance room. There's a small board where there are two arrows: the one to the right have 'A-H' and the one on the left has 'I-P', while there's also a elevator in front of them, and a small board says 'Q-FF' on it. They take a right, there are small, round yellow lights on the top, and they are walking on about 6-feet wide highway, covered with brown carpet.

"So, can you please explain now" Nabeel asks as Sarah turns and then starts speaking as they pass a door to their right, which have a 'Hall-A' sign on it.

"Okay, the truth is that I am a newbie like you...and the person who I told you that I was...meaning the girl who beat the Johto, and the Silver league was my sister. I started my journey a week ago, when I arrived in Oldale by a ship from Pacifidlog Town. I am sorry I lied, but it was just that there were several experienced trainers on the ship, and I lost every battle that I fought against them. They were even laughing at me when I told them that I am a new trainer, and I just didn't wanted to get embarrass anymore" she finishes, taking out all of the truth from her mouth.

"Okay....I am sorry for making you feel a little uncomfortable. You aren't that bad after all..." he apologizes as Sarah replies, "It's okay, now I am feeling much better. Infect, I even lost my match with Norman" she calls out..

"What? that one too...well, here's the Hall D" he says as all of them enters the small, mostly vertical hall. The hall is shaped straight, and there are trainers sleeping on everyone of them. They walk straight to the end, where they find three empty beds.

"Here, you go up there and I am sleeping up here" he says as he points to a medium-sized bed, she nods and then, Sarah returns her Torchic, as Nabeel calls his Shroomish back. Treecko, on the other hand, sleeps on a pillow beside Nabeel. After about two minutes as everybody is asleep except for Nabeel.......

"Hi, you wanna battle?" suddenly a girl voice comes from behind. Nabeel looks up and it reveals to be a girl, a little taller than Nabeel, with short brown hairs, and cold blue eyes. She is wearing a white tank top, which almost covers the fair skin of her tummy. Beneath her white top is a pair of blue jeans. Her red nail-polish is shinning in the dark, as Nabeel stares at her.

"What you looking at?" she asks in a ordering tone. Nabeel then gets back to Earth and says...

"Huh...well, do you want to battle?" he asks as the girl is now sitting on the bed.

"Yes, that's what I was asking you. We can battle outside, lets go" she says as she quietly puts her sneakers on and then exits from the door Nabeel first came in. He then quietly follows her, as somebody has already turned off the light. The dim light coming from the lamp is the only thing helping them find the door in the stumpy hall. The unknown girl then slightly open the door, and then holds it as Nabeel exits. She then closes the door as she enters the high-way.

"So, who are you?" Nabeel asks suspiciously as they heads forward.

"I am Sandra, what about you?" she asks as Nabeel quickly answers, "I am Nabeel...so where are we gonna battle?" he asks politely.

"Go, straight up and there's another exit. There, is some space to battle" Sandra explains as they passes the way to the main office. They pass Hall # I, as Nabeel speaks....

"Do you have any badges?" he asks another question as Sandra quickly answers, "Several. I have eight from Kanto, and have three from here" she tell him, which makes Nabeel ask another question.

"Ohh, so have you participated in the Johto League?" he asks impatiently. Sandra gets a little aggravated.

"Yes, and now you wanna know how was it like, right?" she asks as Nabeel nods. She continues, "Okay, there were over hundred trainers. On the first round, you battle four times, in which you have to win three times, in order to qualify for the 'Super Sixes' round. Top 48 trainers qualify for this round. Then, each of them battle three times, in which they have to win all of them. If they have done that, they qualify for the Quarter-finals. Top 16 trainers are in there. Then the trainers there battle twice, and have to win everyone in order to be in the Semi-finals. Top 4 trainers are in there. Then, the four trainers battle ones, and the winners battle each other for the final" she finishes as she speaks in one breath.

"Wow....so at what point did you dropped out?" he asks gracefully as they reach the Exit door.

"I finished in the Super Sixes round. My ranking was 33. Here, we are gonna battle here" she says as she opens the door, and there's not much to see. There are not any street lights so there's barely any light.

"What? We are gonna battle here? he asks wonderly as he looks around. This place looks kinda deserted, with nothing, but just plain, dark, ground.

"Yes, that's how you know your pokemon. A true trainer doesn't need to 'see' his pokemon in order to instruct them, that's what I believe in" she says mystically.

"Well, okay. Then 1 on 1 it is" he says stormily.

"Okay, go Krom!" she orders as she throws a dark colored pokeball, with weird white stripes. As she throws the pokeball, a medium-sized pokemon, much like Bulbasaur, appears. The pokemon's skin is light wrap of clover green, with white scales spreading all over the green terrain, with small round head, and white eyes. His limbs are quite thin but muscle is evident in them and each paw ends in three round claws of ivory. His underbelly and the underside of his tail are coated in golden scales also very much like myself. His long white and greenish tail completes his growing body.

"Komo..." the pokemon cries as Nabeel gets awkward.

"What kind of pokemon is this? Never saw it, or even heard of it..." Nabeel asks as the green pokemon howls his name.

"This is Komodra, and very little is known about this pokemon" Sandra calls as she pats her pokemon.

"Komo..what? anyway, come on out Grassy" he orders as he throws the light green pokeball of Treecko. With a green glimpse of light, the gecko pokemon appears.

"Treecko..." he cries as Sarah orders her pokemon...

"Krom, start off with your flamethrower" she orders as Komodra fires a flame at Treecko, and does a heavy amount of damage.

"Grassy, stay near from me. Use your Razor Leaf attack" he commands as Treecko releases several leaves from his wrists.

"Move out, Krom. Now, use your Tackle" she orders as Komodra quickly jumps and dodges the attack. He then charges toward Treecko.

"Grassy, use Quick Attack now" As Komodra comes close to Treecko, he suddenly disappears and then re-appears at the fire pokemon's back, then strikes him with a tackle.

"Great job, try to focus before you attack, so you can see clearly" he suggests as Sandra says....

"Krom, use your Iron Tail" Komodra runs at Treecko, then points his tail at Treecko, and the tail starts to glow, but as soon as his tail touches Treecko, it just gets back to normal and stops glowing. The attack fails as Komodra loses his balance and then falls down.

"Ohh no, Krom, hurry, get up" Sandra calls as Nabeel orders...

"Grassy, now is our chance, get on that Komodra and hold on tight" Treecko does as told and climbs on the four-legged pokemon's back.

"Krom, try to shake that Treecko off you" she mandates as the fire pokemon shakes his warm body and runs around wildly. But still, he is unable to get Treecko off him.

"Great going Grassy, now use your Mega Drain" he pleases as Treecko gets the upper-hand.
He moves his tail at the fire pokemon, and the tail glows, and small mystical particles, colored green, penetrate from Komodra's body, to Treecko's green body.

"Grassy, jump back, and then use your Razor Leaf attack" Nabeel injucts as the green pokemon quickly jumps back, and then releases several sharp, green leaves, hitting Komodra in his back. Komodra falls down and surprisingly faints.

"Yeah, great job Grassy" Nabeel joys as he hugs the gecko pokemon.

"Okay Krom, return" Sandra returns Komodra, as he cries "Komo..komo" and then returns to his pokeball. Nabeel then walks up to her.

"Told ya, I'm gonna beat you!" he slacks off as Sandra defends...

"No you didn't....Krom just need some more training" she then starts to walk toward the road.

"Well, you had the type advantage...wait where you going?" he asks as he runs toward her. Treecko, too, follows Nabeel..

"I am a pokemon trainer duh! That means that I have to travel to different places to train my pokemon" she replies as Nabeel says...

"What? At 11 at night? Are you crazy or what?" he gets shocked as a normal person doesn't do that.

"Yes, I travel at day and night...well see ya later" she calls as she quickly walks toward the main road to the right, and then vanishing from Nabeel's eyes.

"Whooo...well, we better be going back too" he says as he quickly walks up to the back exit of the Trainer's Rest Area and then enters Hall # D after a minute of fast walking. As he enters Hall # D, the room is the same gloomy, with a little dim light coming from the yellow night-bulb. He then quietly walks up to his bed and then lays down, sleeping beside Treecko, who is already asleep on the other pillow.

"Where were you?" Sarah suddenly asks as Nabeel looks back at her bed.

"I was battling outside" he tells her quietly as she bursts out another question...

"What? at 11 at night?" she asks as speaks little louder than Nabeel.

"Yes, now go back to sleep; I will tell you about my battle tomorrow" he says as she gets back to sleep, leaving Nabeel thinking.

"Ahh, well I better get to sleep as well" he says as he falls asleep, probably dreaming about the rusty day he had.....................

COmments please!!!

Why the double post? Oh well, that was an interesting chapter. What's with Komodra? Did you make a mistake or did you just make that pokémon up, because he's not from the games. When Nabeel goes to the trainer rest area, I think you mean "a maximum of two nights" instead of "a minimum of two nights". This chapter looks good overall, so keep up the good work! Hope to hear from you soon.

OHH...crap. sorry for that error and double posting. komodra is a made-up pokemon....did you liked it???
I think there weren"t many errors in the chapter...right?

[Diamondlance]

Yeah, I like him, though from your description he hardly looks like a fire type. The way I picture him, he looks like a grass, poison, ground, or dark type, but fire didn't come to mind until you said so. Does he have a subtype?
I didn't notice a lot of errors. Just the one I mentioned...maybe one or two other small ones. Good job!

I tried to put him a fire/dark type, but I think I did a nice job introducing a new pokemon.

Well, I won't say anything about the next chapter!:D

[Diamondlance]

Cool. Hopefully there'll be some other reviews for this chapter soon.

[Orion]

Great chapter!Too bad Nabeel lost.It was expected,though...I like how the city is so much like a real city,and you describe pretty well.Just a bit more detail is needed,but it's OK so far!I didn't get very well how did Komodra looked like,but it's due to vocabulary lack:PCool thing you have a made-up Poké!Very creative indeed,and you described him very well.I wonder,will Sarah be a journey partner for Nabeel???If you don't wanna spoil,don't do it,but I guess she'll be.Keep it up!

[Venasaur89]

Diamond Lace: Oh, don't worry about the replies. I have already build up my story and I receiving several replies from other sites.

Orion: Thanks foir the reply:). Nabeel losing the match was expected?? I have heard different opinions from other people. Anyway, yeah, I was able to describe the pokemon and the city more, but the lack of time and the length of the chapter stopped me. I am gonna be making a lot of new pokes, and definitely better than Komodra. Did you liked the battle?

P.S> I voted for your fic in the SUmer Fanfic Awards!

[Venasaur89]

Anymore replies/comments/reviews? If there are any 'quite readers' then please just leave a ne line comment!

Thanks.

[Venasaur89]

The next chapter of the fic, the 9th one, is Double Battle? Or Double Trouble!!

it will be up by monday or tuesday!

[Diamondlance]

Okay. I'll look forward to seeing it. I guess there are quite a few "quiet readers" out there. Maybe they won't be so introverted next chapter.

[Venasaur89]

Yeah/.... I have lost quite a few readers from the beginning.

[Venasaur89]

still wondering when the next chapter gonna be up? well, I was almost done with the chapter, when on Saturday morning, while doing some other stuff on the internet, my computer froze down. I tried everything but nothing would happen. SO, I turned the main power switch off. Then, after a few secs, I turned it back on, and what I see is that the computer colors are all messed up. Plus, my mouse isn't working when I can its red light lit up. So, I tried to fix it, but no use. SO, a computer professional fixed the problem by fully restoring the computer, which means that I lost all of my files. So, now I have to start the chapter all over again.

It will hopefully be up by this upcomming weekend or monday, tuesday.

Please don't stop reading this fic, this wasn't my fault!

[Diamondlance]

Sorry about your computer Venasaur89! Well at least it's fixed now. Don't worry about the delay, it would take more than that to get me to stop reading!
I'll be keeping my eye out for your update. Take your time. I think I can speak for most of your readers when I say that a good chapter is better than a fast chapter.
See ya later!

[ozhater1]

I'd have to agree that your absolutely right. It must suck to have that kind of luck. Sorry 'bout the pc goin' berserk on ya man. Whenever it comes it comes, plus I can't stop readin' I'm in this fic.
LOL

[Venasaur89]

Thanks. So, what guesses can you make from the title, "Double Battle?? OR double trouble?"

[Diamondlance]

Well, I would guess that Nabeel and Sarah will team up against some bad guys in a two-on-two Pokémon battle. That's what I get from the title.

[Venasaur89]

You are close, but not enough,

[Diamondlance]

It will hopefully be up by this upcomming weekend or monday, tuesday.

That was from your post on LAST Thursday, Venasaur89. Anything wrong? I'm not trying to rush you, but usually you keep us updated on your progress.

[Venasaur89]

ohh, sorry. I will post it either or tommorow. I had a big oil spill project during the week.

[Diamondlance]

Oh, that's all right. I just wanted to make sure that you did not forget about us!

[Venasaur89]

I would never forget about my fic! ;) I love to write, but the reason that I don't get my chapters done on time is because I am really busy with other stuff. ANd as you can see, I don't like to write short chapters.... I just want to make readers imagine what is going on.

The next chapter is coming soon!

[Zee Sage]

So, enjoy...-*-


PREVIOUSLY ON "TO EXPECT THE UN-EXPECTED"

The battle with Norman and Nabeel ends as the gym leader's Vigoroth wins the match. Then Sarah and Nabeel heal their pokemon in the pokemon center. In early night, they go to "Trainer's Block", a restaurant which is especially designed for trainers traveling around the Hoenn region. After eating, they sights a small building known as "Trainer's Rest Area", a place where a trainer can sleep free for the maximum of two nights. As Nabeel lay down to sleep, he hears a girl's voice asking him to a pokemon match. The battle begins outside in a dark, rusty, place at the back of the building. The battle begins as Nabeel decides on Treecko while the girl, Sandra, starts off with Komodra, a unknown pokemon, which looks much like Bulbasaur, except for the bulb and a fiery body. The battle begins as Komodra uses Flamethrower and Treecko attacks with a sharp Razor Leaf. The flame attack strikes Treecko while Komodra manages to dodge the attack. He then uses Tackle but Treecko tricks him with a fast-moving quick attack. Komodra tries a Iron Tail, which unexpectedly fails, and then he falls down. Treecko takes this as an advantage and then gets on top of Komodra, who tries to shake him off, but fails. Treecko then uses Mega Drain, followed by a Razor Leaf from Komodra's back, which eventually ends up fainting the fire pokemon. Both of the trainers walk away as Nabeel gets back to sleep.

__________________________________________________ __

Chapter 9:
Double Battle, or Double Trouble?


"Yay! Yay! goo...." the crowd cheers as a Treecko is battling against a Nidoqueen. Nabeel commands Treecko to use a Razor Leaf attack, but the Nidoqueen uses a counter attack as a mysterious white beam of light protects it, and the attack deflects, but Treecko moves out of the way. "Ohh, what a move! Treecko used a Razor Leaf, as the Nidoqueen dodged the attack. But Treecko too, moved out of the way. We don't see this kind of stuff really often" the announcer speaks as Treecko is standing across a vigorous looking Nidoqueen on a large piece of open land, where the pokemon are surrounded by many spectators, who are going crazy in this all-out match in this tournament. There is a large square shaped-scorecard each on the four-sides of the large stadium. Nabeel's cute picture is seen on the scorecard, while below him are two blue lights which are lit off, except for the last one, which has a Treecko's picture on it. On the right side from Nabeel's picture, spectators can see the picture of a boy, a blonde male, who looks a little older than Nabeel, with light mustache. There are also two red light lit off, while the one below them is lit up, and have a picture of a Nidoqueen. Both of the pokemon on the stadium are exhausted as the Nidoqueen uses Hyperbeam while Nabeel's Treecko uses a Solarbeam. There's a huge explosion seen, and looks like both pokemon are fainted. But, as the smoke clears, the viewers can see the winner, which is...

"Ah, why did you wake me up? I almost won that match!" he screams as Sarah smirks some water on his face, waking him up. He quickly gets up, and then actions his hands to his face, clears water from it.

"What match? It's already ten minutes past 8 o'clock, and the check out time here is 8. So, get up"

"Okay, I am going" he mutters in annoyance as he hurries up, takes his tooth brush and blue, sports shorts, as well as his white Starter shirt, which is outlined black from the collar, and the short-sleeves. He then walks toward the bathroom. He takes the "Crest" toothpaste and squeezes it from the bottom, as the white paste fills the top of his blue toothbrush. After brushing his teeth, he washes his face with soap, and then cleans his face with the brown, paper towels. Then he changes into his new outfit. He exits as Sarah's Torchic is helping her settling her backpack, a black, medium-sized one. She has also changed into her white shirt with yellow cotton shorts, that are well above her white knees. Nabeel puts his toothbrush and his old clothes in his gray and orange bag.

"So, you told me that you were battling someone yesterday at night?" Sarah turns around and asks with a smirk on her blonde face.

"Yeah, my opponent was a little girl, with a weird, unknown fire pokemon. I used Grassy who easily defeated him" he explains proudly as Sarah admires. "Ohh, great. So, where are you gonna go next?" she asks excitedly.

"Let's go to some restaurant for the breakfast" he answers as he hangs his back pack on his back, and then starts to put his white socks on.

"Okay, lets just go to the Trainer's Block, right beside from here" she suggests sweetly.

"Okay, then hurry up" he finishes the conversation as he puts his white and gray Nike sneakers on. Sarah, too, puts her socks and then her white Reeboks. Treecko and Torchic follows them. The hall is almost empty, except for a couple of trainers sleeping. Nabeel and Sarah walks toward the door, Nabeel opens it and let everybody go, then closes it.

"So, what are your plans?" Sarah asks curiously as they are walking toward the main door. Nabeel takes a deep breath and then answers. "I will exit Petalburg, entering a sandy road, and then coming across the Petalburg Woods, which will lead me to Rustboro" they come across the main corridor, and then enters in, facing a old man somewhere in his 50s.

"Yeah, we are leaving. Is there anywhere we have to sign or stuff...?" he asks impatiently.

"Yes, over here. Put your name and the number of nights you have slept here" he responds in a low voice as he hands Nabeel a white paper, which have a 'name' and 'days stayed' column in it. Nabeel quickly puts his name and puts "1" in the days stayed column. Sarah, too, does the same thing. She then hands the paper to the old man.

"Here's the paper" she hands him the paper, which the man puts in a drawer beneath the counter.

"Okay, thank you, have a nice day!" he glances as he turns the TV on.

"Okay, you too" Sarah smiles back as they exits the door.

"Let's take our bicycles to the restaurant" He suggests as both of them gets on their bicycle. Treecko jumps up and climbs on the basket, so does Torchic. Nabeel feels a cool breeze of wind as the Sun outside is really heated, but the cool breezes of wind overcomes the tepid rays of the Sun. There aren't many people in sight, except for, you can see some figures walking on the main road. They ride there bicycle to Trainer's Block restaurant, which is right beside the Trainer's Rest Area. They park their bicycles, and then enter inside. The restaurant is empty, and a black lady is probably working as the cashier, behind the counter.

"What do you want?" Nabeel asks as they take a seat at one of the tables at the front.

"Get me some Omelet with some bread, and a glass of Orange juice" she orders as Nabeel replies quickly. "What? what do you mean by "Get me?" I am not your servant. Say "Please, get me" he corrects her.

"Okay, okay. Please get me, you big mouth" she comments slightly as Nabeel tells her to shut up. He then walks toward the counter, and looks at above, and notices the Breakfast menu for a minute. Then he orders the food. "Hi, we want a small-plate of Omelet, two Waffles, a medium sized glass of Orange Juice, and a glass of Milk. Also, two packets of "Breakfast Now" for pokemon" The woman makes a annoying face, and then says "Okay" as she repeats the order to the people on the back.

"What kind of payment do you want me to charge from you?" She asks politely.

"Ohh, just charge me for now" he quickly replies as she takes a calculator and then starts calculating the order.

"Okay, a dollar for each, the plate of Omelet and two Waffle; 0.50 cents for each, the glass of Orange Juice and Milk. The total is $3, and your previous due was $5, so the total charging on your account is $8. Do you have our handbook?" she explains as Nabeel looks for some money in his pocket, but only finds a quarter.

"Okay, I got that thing" he assures as their food arrives in a tray. Nabeel takes the tray and takes it to the table, where Torchic, Treecko, and Sarah and anxiously waiting for it.

"Here's your food, mam" he laughs as Sarah comments back. "Yeah, you better" She then takes her Omelet plate and Orange juice, then rips the two packets of pokemon food, and takes two plates, in which she puts each packet.

I better get Shroomish out as well" he throws a pokeball slightly and out comes his Shroomish, cheerful as always. "Hi Shroomish, it eating time" Shroomish replies, "Shroo..mish...SHroo..mish" Nabeel then takes her and puts her beside Treecko, and then Sarah takes a plate, take some pokemon food from Torchic, some from Treecko, and then puts the plate in front of the grass pokemon, equaling the amount of food for each. Nabeel too, starts to eat his check shaped waffle, dipping them in the light-black syrup, which is nicely placed on the tray in small packages. Sarah is ripping a small piece of bread, use it to take some omelet from the plate, and then eats it. After few minutes of continuous eating, when everybody is full, except for Sarah, who is over-filled.

"Okay, I am done. Let's go" he suggests as he picks up the three empty plates from the pokemon, takes his plate, and place all of them above them all and then puts it on the tray.

"Uhh, are you done?" he asks as there's still some omelet in the plate, but Sarah looks like she is already finished.

"Yeah, go ahead. Take it" she commands in a low voice. She then starts drinking her orange juice, rushingly as Nabeel strikes, "Finish your omelet first" Sarah quickly takes a mean look at him.

"The food that you are eating is provided by the god. So don't be unthankful, and leave the food like this. Think about the people who don't even get to eat all of this food in a whole day, and you are here talking about trashing this food" he gives a short speech as she looks at him as she looks at him with weary eyes. "What? You are weird dude" she exerts as Nabeel stares at here. "Whatever, I was just telling the truth..." he says as he picks up her plate and then slides the whole tray in the trash can. Sarah and the pokemon follows him as they exit the restaurant, entering the blue sky.

"Okay, so are you still gonna follow me?" She asks as she makes a guessing face. Nabeel stops on his way for his bicycle. "What? So I was following you all along, huh?" he answers innocently and then reaches up to his bicycle.

"Yeah, I just wanted to make everything clear" she comments as she reaches her bike as well.

"Okay then. We will go separate ways. And thanks for everything you have done! Shroomish return. " Nabeel returns the grass pokemon and she gladly goes back to her pokeball. "Grassy, hurry up, get in the basket" he orders as Treecko jumps up and hops in the bicycle's basket. Nabeel then gets on, too, and begins to paddle, leaving Sarah and Torchic.

"Okay Torchie, let's go" she affirms as she takes the fire pokemon and then puts her in the basket, and gets on her bike as well.

Nabeel takes a right on the clear foot-path and paddles as fast as he can. He really didn't expect Sarah to say like that. "What does she think. She thinks that I can't become a winner without her. I'll show her.." he thinks as he really feels the wind, but barely feels it. After a hard 10 minutes of biking, he sights a blue sign on the right side, which reads "Petalburg Woods Ahead".

"Yeah, at least I am getting somewhere" he thinks of him reaching the first gym in Rustboro after few hours. After about 30 seconds he sees a large blue sign on the middle of the road, about 10 feet above the ground. This sign has three arrows, each pointing to the right, left, and straight. The straight one reads "Petalburg Woods", the one to the right says Carlton Road, while the one to pointing to the left reads "Nogrewein Docks". Nabeel just rides straight. After a minute or two, they see another blue sign, which reads "Welcome to Petalburg Woods" in white writing, and below it reads "Controlled by the Hoenn Wild Life Habitats". The foot-path ends here expectedly, and then Nabeel turns his bicycle on the main road. There's not any vehicle in sight for miles.

"Ohh, it just feels like the Walt Lake Forest, except for this forest is much better. Look at all those green trees. I bet I am gonna find tons of pokemon, and I will catch 'em! he proclaims gladly as he is ridding his bike on a small road, which is surrounded by the lively trees, and that's all to be seen in the forest. Many Wurmple, Aipoms, and Nincada's are seen, wandering around either on trees or chasing each other. Wurmples, which are small worms, which are light-red on their upper-body, and white in under body. They also have several, tiny curves all over their upper-body, and two yellow, rubber horns at the end of their tail, and one on their front part. They have really tiny yellow eyes, with black eyeballs, and white hands which are . They walk on their small, white feet, bitsy, of course. Some of them are busy making white, thin, webs around a tree branch. Others are just crawling upside down on the tree limb. Others are just using string shot at one another for fun, or just fighting. Other pokemon are seen running around the trees wildly. Aipoms, a scanty, monkey-like species of pokemon, which are really waggish looking, and have a small yellow face, and the rest of their body is purple. They have a short, yet a strong tail, which is shaped like three yellow fingers in the end of their tail. Other pokemon on the trees include Nincadas, a bug pokemon which have two feet spreading from left and right, have a white body, and sharp, brown crabs on the front.

"Grassy, do you we should stop here and catch some pokemon around here?" he asks, and sounds like that he is over with what happened early morning.

"Treecko" the lizard pokemon replies in happiness, as Nabeel takes a wide turn near a tree. Both of them can very well see the true beauty of the forest: the green trees, whose leaves are changing colors in Autumn, the fresh, mystical wind that is only available in the forests. The peaceful pokemon wandering around the forest, freely, adds on the beauty. Nabeel finds his way easily, since there aren't too many trees growing together, and are separated from the mother nature. He takes a right, and rides as fast as he can, not knowing of pokemon whom he can hurt by this action.

"Crap....is that's what's the whole forest is about: trees, and tiny bug pokemon?" he asks himself as he suddenly sights a small, wolf-looking black pokemon, a Poochyena! This pokemon has a small, gray body, which is covered with his soft, black hairs. His feet and his face are black, and two of his teeth are seen even if he closes his mouth, making him look vigorous. Nabeel then parks his bicycle and Treecko jumps out of it.

"Okay Grassy, get ready to attack, because that single Poochyena isn't gonna scare us!" he vows as Grassy stands up in front of Nabeel and gets ready to attack.

"Okay Poochyena, get ready, because you are about to be mine! Grassy use your Razor Leaf" he orders gladly as Treecko led go of several leaves from the large leaves located in his hands' wrist. The attack strikes Poochyena who runs forward and charges a tackle attack at Treecko, but the green pokemon dodges the attack, calmly.

"Great going Grassy, run to him and finish it off with quick attack" he directs as Treecko runs at a incredible speed, and then disappears and then re-appears, and then finally hitting Poochyena. The dark pokemon falls down.....

"Yeah, now is our chance" he says as he and Treecko gets closer to the wolf-pokemon, making sure that he is not hurt very much. As he gets closer, the dark pokemon suddenly stands up on his four legs and surprisingly, starts crying! "Poooocheeynnnaaa...." the pokemon cries, stunning Nabeel and Treecko.

"What the crap is he doing? Common dawg, let's get serious here" he tries to cheer him up, or else, the pokemon would pop out of his pokeball. As he tries to pick him up, he cries even more. And that's not all, Nabeel suddenly sees a Poochyena like pokemon, with more hairs on his body, and a larger body, a Mightyena! The Mightyena looks like Poochyena's dad, and rubs his face with his hands, and tries to get him quiet.

"Okay, so we got the newer version, huh?" he jokes and touches the ground happily, that he will catch Mightyena as a soft, but a strong skin touches him from his left. As he looks at his right, nervously, the soft skin reveals to be an another Mightyena, which have a light-red scar on his head, near his right ear. That's not all, he feels the same kind of "softness" from his left, and is astounded as another Mightyena is looking at him flourishingly! Now, he is surrounded by three spanking, growling Mightneyas.

"Ohh, crap...Grassy, RUN! he yells as he turns around and takes his bicycle, running as hard as he can. Treecko, unable to keep his pace with Nabeel, jumps into the bicycle's basket. The two Mightyena are following him, and sometimes almost reach him. Nabeel is running crazily, holding his bicycle with his hands.

"Ahh.." he exclaims as he sights the main road on his right side. Mightyena are still following him, running as fast as they could, and one of them even bites the lower part of Nabeel's T-shirt!

"Ohh, leave me!" he cries as he runs even more faster, dragging the black pokemon with him, who doesn't seem like giving up. As Nabeel gets close to the road, the other Mightyena bites, and takes hold of his shirt as well! Now, Nabeel is on the road, but is unable to get both of the Mightyena's off him. He is trying to run hard, like he was, but couldn't help getting slower because of the Mightyenas, and he is become tired. He is running wildly on the center of the road and is about to give-up when suddenly the Mightyena's let go of his shirt! He then runs really hard, and then gets on his bike, leaving the pokemon behind. He then looks back if the pokemon are still following him, but the Mightyena's are gone back in the forest.

"Yeah! I am still alive!" he cheers wildly as he changes his bike's speed gear to 2 from 3, so he won't have to waste too much energy on the bike, but the bike eventually gets slower. He then stops the bike, so he can get some rest on the left side of the void road.

"Ahh.... that was pretty close. I guess the Mightyena just wanted me to exit the inside forest" he exclaims as Treecko replies, "Tree...cko" happily. He takes his backpack and takes out a cold, water bottle.

"Ohh crap..the water is warm now...Oh well" he says as he drinks the warm water since his throat is dry as a desert. After drinking some, he takes out another "warm" water bottle, which is smaller in size then his, and hands it to Treecko, who groans with a "Treeeckoo.." noise, trying to tell Nabeel that the water is warm.

"What?" he griefs as Treecko points to the bottle, and Nabeel puts his hands on it, and feels the hot plastic. "Well you just have to deal with, like I am" he answers slangy, and then Treecko just drinks the whole bottle in a second.

"Okay, give the bottles to me...ohh crap, it's already 10 o'clock. We better hurry up" he grins as he puts the two bottles back in the bottle-holder in his backpack, and then lays it in the big basket beside Treecko.

"Okay, all set. Let's go" he relieves as he paddles and then rides the bike down the hill. The scene is beautiful once again with the blue sky. A pack of Beautiflys are seen, a butterfly-like pokemon, which have black wings from the back and the front, but covered in wide yellow spots, and some red ones. These flourished pokemon are female, while the males are the poison pokemon known as Dustox. He keep riding his bike as he suddenly notices some murmuring nearby in the forest. He just ignores it, thinking, he is just "hearing" things. The sun now rises from the south as he hears the murmuring again, and this time, somebody screaming....a girl!

"What...what was that?" he asks himself as he hears even more murmuring, somewhere in the forest. He decides to go and find out. "Let's go check it out. Maybe its a trainer, I can have a battle with them" he grins as he takes a left, and enters the quiet forest. Everything is the same as always-Wurmples crawling on the trees, some Silcoons sleeping in holes, inside some trees, Aipoms running on the trees, and some Nincadas making thin webs. He goes deep in the forest and takes a left turn, and paddles as fast as he can, but the echo of the voices just decries. After a few moments, he hears nothing but the normal grunts of Nincadas, the low howling of Poochyenas, and the snarls of Aipoms. He then turns around and paddles his way back.

"I guess I was just hearing things" he thinks as he pushes his gray glasses backward a bit. But, he gets astounding as he start hearings the murmuring again. He then reaches the place where he turned left, deep, into the forest, and then paddles to the right. Suddenly, the voices gets louder and louder, and then Nabeel hides behind a tree. He sees a empty piece of land, deep into the forest, and then gets up off his bike, along with Treecko.

He can clearly see two boys, one who is about Nabeel's age, 5'2 or 5'3, with black hairs, and blue eyes. He is wearing a dark blue shirt, with a picture of a master ball on it, along with a pair of blue baggy shorts, and a silver Nike "hoops" jacket, which is really popular among these days. In front of him is a light-greenish body and white sharp scythes and wings. His body is metal-like, much like a battling ninja. About seven feet west of the boy is standing another boy, much like the one with Scyther, with a red, cotton sweater which says "Numba #1". Along with his hooded sweater, but is unhooded, he is wearing a pair of yellow baggy jeans, and a pair of white Rebook Trainers. He have hazel eyes, with blonde hairs, gelled, and waved up. A Pikachu is standing in front of him, a mouse-pokemon, with a small, cute, yellow body, with black eyes, and white eyeballs. Her yellow ears are outlined black, which are pretty thick. Her tail is yellow, zig-zagged, and is outlined black. Across from the yellow pokemon is a....Torchic! That's all Nabeel is able to see since the trees right of him block the view.

"Pikachu, use your Thunder Bolt!" the trainer on the right orders as the Pikachu growl "Pi...pikachu" and then quickly runs down to the Torchic, jumps up, and then releases a yellow bolt of thunder. The Torchic tries to dodge the attack, but Pikachu gets it the second time. The fire pokemon falls down, but she gets up after a few moment.

"Scyther, use your Slash attack" the second trainer orders as the bug pokemon runs to Torchic at a speed of faster than the light, and then uses his aciculate scythes to slash Torchic's small face. The orange-pokemon, unable to avoid the attack, quickly falls down. And then, Nabeel hears a voice, which sounds pretty similar to him, calling Torchic to get up. Then Nabeel steps up, to the trees to his right, and is surprised to see Sarah! "What? what is that clumsy witch is doing here?" he thinks as he steps up, Treecko follows him.

"Torchic...and Sarah.." he remarks as he looks up at the fainted Torchic.

"Nabeel....." she replies as the trainer on the left cuts her...."Hey, what's going on...where's our money?" he asks in a gentle voice.

"Yeah..yeah..just hold on a minute" she pledges as she looks at Nabeel, sadly. "Uhh...Nabeel, I was wondering if you have a dollar, or two?" she asks politely.

"What? No....but what for?" he asks as she says, "When you left me, I decided to battle for money since I was already bankrupt. I found these two trainers, David and Daniel. I wanted more money so I battled them 2 on 1 for $2. But, I lost..." she explains as Nabeel sighs.

"Okay, I will try to convince them to battle me" he says, leaving Sarah in silence.

"Okay, what's the deal. We want our money?" the guy on the right, David asks irresistibly.

"You see, the battle wasn't fair. 2 on 1 battle is usually not allowed. So, how about you battle me, and if both of you win, then...we'll see about it.." he asks the trainer respectively. The trainer then accepts the challenge. "Okay, well, let's go" Daniel says as Nabeel orders Treecko to fight.

"Okay Grassy, let's get ready to fight" he commands. Treecko replies, "Tree...cko."

"Okay then, use a Razor Leaf against that Pikachu!" he orders as the green pokemon releases several leaves from his wrist, striking Pikachu, who tries to dodge it, and is only able to avoid about a couple of them.

"Okay Grassy, Razor Leaf again, but this time, aim at Scyther" he commands, and Treecko releases several leaves from his wrist.

"Scyther, slash the leaves away" Daniel orders and Scyther cuts the leaves away, easily.

"Common Grassy, this should be a sweat for you. Use Razor Leaf at Pikachu again" he smiles as Treecko uses Razor Leaf, and releases the green leaves at a faster speed, striking Pikachu. The thunder pokemon wears out and eventually falls down, but gets up after few moments.

"Pikachu, Thunder Bolt" David orders as the yellow pokemon growls, "Pi...pikachu" and then runs to Treecko, and then releases excessive thunder bolts. Treecko tries to dodge the bolts, but dodges only a couple.

"Grassy quick, tackle attack" he says as he gets worried. He didn't expected Pikachu to attack like this. Treecko, quickly, breaks off from the thunder bolts, and runs to Pikachu, and then tackles her really hard. The small pokemon falls down, fainting.

"Good Job Pikachu! Return" David comments as Pikachu returns back to her yellow pokeball.

"Its all up to you, Daniel" he says as Daniel quickly replies, "Yeah, don't worry" he says, then continues, "Okay Scyther, use your Wing Attack" he orders as Scyther flies away, passing Treecko, and then comes back, hits Treecko with his glowing wings. Treecko falls down, but then gets up, instantly..

"Okay, Grassy, use your Quick Attack" he authorizes as Treecko quickly runs to Scyther, appearing and disappearing, then tackles him from his back. Scyther, unpredictably, falls down, but gets up, ultimately.

"Scyther, use your Wing Attack" Daniel orders.

"Grassy, get on top of Scyther as he flies" Treecko grips on tightly Scyther's neck, and as he flies, Treecko gets on top of Scyther. The bug pokemon is unable to keep the fast pace, since Treecko is on his back. He is shaking himself, and flying around the empty ground.

"Grassy, now's our chance. Use Mega Drain" Treecko quickly lays his tail on Scyther's body and then several mystical particles penetrates from Scyther's body into Treecko's, weakening the flying pokemon. Scyther now slows down even more, and then crashes down right in the middle of the empty ground. The crashing of Scyther caused a small, but wide, hole in the ground. This crashing also creates smoke from hole. As the smoke clears, both pokemon appears to be unconscious.

"Grassy...are you alright?" he asks nervously as he goes and picks the green pokemon.

"Great job, Scyther. Now, take a good rest, return!" Daniel returns his pokemon as Nabeel takes out a pack of poke-medicine bottle from his back pack. He opens the cap off the bottle, and takes the spoon, measure it to a "One Tablespoon and then exerts it into Treecko mouth, making him sleepy. Both of the trainers reaches him.

"Well then, since the match is a draw...then we'll leave" David says as Daniel adds on. "Eh...I will be looking forward to battling yall...especially you" he adds on looking at Nabeel.

"Okay, then. See yall later" Both Nabeel and Sarah replies on as the trainers leave the ground field, and then disappear in the forest.

"Okay, well I guess I should be leaving now as well" he says, bitterly, and then puts the medicine back into his backpack. As he gets on his bike and gets ready to paddle, he feels a tender touch on his back. He looks back, and notices Sarah looking at him, sorrily.

"Uh...Nabeel, I wanted to say sorry for what I did this morning..." she apologizes quietly. There's a long silent. Then, Nabeel palliates, "Well, you were pretty mean... I guess I forgive you" he replies softly. She then looks up at him, "Thanks, and I was wondering If I could join you in your.." she asks as Nabeel cuts her, "Sure, as long as you do whatever I say, don't brag about yourself, and use your own belongings" he explains, annoying Sarah. "Okay...okay.. now tell me if you have seen any pokemon in the forest? I gotta catch some. Torchic isn't enough" she asks satisfyingly. Nabeel thinks a bit and then answers, "Yeah, I saw Wurmples, Aipoms, Poochyenas, Nincadas, and a couple of Mightyena's" Sarah gets surprised by hearing this.

"What... you saw Mightyenas? The evolve form of Poochyena?" she asks crazily. "Yeah, but there were only few of them." he replies as Sarah congests of talking. "Okay then, lets look for them" she suggests as Nabeel nods and then they walks deep inside the forest. After Sarah releases her Torchic, she and Treecko are having a pokemon-conversation as they are following Nabeel and Sarah. They are now friends, instead of their "not-so-great relationship" yesterday.

Poke-language to English Translation

"I was almost roasted by that Pikachu, and the scratches of that ugly Scyther still hurt" Torchic comments sweetly.

"Really? I knocked that tiny Pikachu in a sec., but the Scyther was a bigger deal. And I was really feeling the wind when I was flying on him" Treecko remarks.

"But electrics are usually delicate against a grass type like you" she criticizes.

"Yeah, but I almost beat the Scyther. Come now, why don't you ever accept that I am stronger than you?" he brags about himself as Torchic replies, "Because I can easily beat you whenever you will fight me. Look, fire can burn a piece of grass in seconds.." she responds back.

"Okay, well.." he replies but they hear Sarah screaming, insanely.

"Ohh, I found a Mightyena" she goes crazy as they sight a young Mightyena, trying to climb up on a apple tree. Sarah quickly looks back, at Torchic. "Torchie, hurry up, let's fight that Mightyena" she commands as Torchic runs up, and then all of them walks up to the gray pokemon, quietly and very carefully. Sarah then looks up, and goes near the tree as Nabeel tries to warn her, "No, don't irritate..." but before she could hear him, she calls loudly, "Hi, Mightyena, I challenge you to a pokemon battle!" she vows as the Mightyena promptly turns around, viciously, and roars, "Mighttt.....yena...Mightyena" with his sharp, white teeth trembling out, looking at Sarah. He then looks at Nabeel, and an evil look on his face reasons that he have met Nabeel before. The dark pokemon reveals to be the same, one of the two Mightyena's who were running after Nabeel, and the one with a red scar on his right ear.

"Uhh....we better get out of here!" he screams as he runs wildly, and the Mightyena runs to him. He dodges him to a couple of trees but slows down, losing his energy. Mightyena on the other hand is running really fast and almost reaches Nabeel, but...

"Torchie, ember" Sarah quickly orders, and Torchic hurries up and fires a ember at the Mightyena, slowing him down, and was able to get his attention. Mightyena now turns around, forgetting about Nabeel, and faces Torchic. Suddenly, a sad expression covers his evil looks, as couple of tears fills leaves his eyes, and then slowly dissolve into his rubber-skin.

"What...what was that? Anyways, Torchic, use Ember now" she orders as Torchic fires a orange and reddish beam at Mightyena's face. He, in return, simply howls as hard as he can, trying to cover his sad expressions.

"Torchic, use your scratch" she orders as Torchic runs to the Mightyena and then scratches his gray face, easily. Mightyena quickly uses a tackle attack, not giving Torchic a chance to defend. "Okay Torchic, use a ember attack" she decrees as the orange pokemon fires a fiery ember, hitting the roaring pokemon on the target, his face. The Mightyena falls down, weakening, and then faints, unpredictably. "Yay, go pokeball" she throws a pokeball at the impulsive, but a unconscious pokemon. The pokeball absorbs his energy with black particles, and then lands on the ground, the red lights on the front lits on, wiggling a bit, and then changes its color to gray at the top and the bottom. The red light changes to gray, meaning a first catch for Sarah! "Yay!" she cries cheerfully, as she picks up the pokeball, and then puts in her backpack.

"Wow, that was a really easy catch since he was a Mightyena" he congratulates her, as all of them cheers.

"But, why did he followed you; and why did you tried to run away from him?" Sarah asks curiously.

"Ohh that....I guess I am just kinda allergic to them" he answers, doubtly. She looks at him conceively
and gets ready to say something, but Nabeel cuts her, "I think we should move on now...we have to get to the Rustboro gym, don't we?" he asks.

"Okay, well lets go then" she answers. Both of them take their bicycles and then Treecko sits on Nabeel's as Torchic on Sarah's, riding their way out of the forest. After about 15 minutes of bike-riding....

"Jeez...I am feeling really sleepy now" Sarah sighs as Nabeel quickly speaks, "Ohh, look at that....Trainer's Lodge...it must be the same as the one in Petalburg. Lets go there and rest for sometime" he comments as Sarah nods and then both of them exits the forest and then there's a small, rectangular shaped-building, much like the one in Petalburg. But this building have about 5-6 floors. Nabeel and Sarah park their bicycles and then enter the building. There's an old lady on the counter.

"Hello, How may I help you?" she welcomes the two trainers as Nabeel quickly answers, "Uhh, is there anyway that we can get a single room for one night?" he asks.

"Yes, I just need some of you bio-data" she replies as Nabeel and Sarah give her their names, Trainer ID number, and address.

"Okay, since this is your first ever night stay in here as trainers, you will sleep here for free. But charges apply if you decide to sleep here for more than one night. Your room number is 11, right beside this door" he replies.

"Thanks" Sarah says as he hands her a key, and then they enter the room, which is right beside the corridor. The room is fully furnished with one bed, a sofa, a computer, a large table with drawers in it, a medium-sized TV., and two side-tables with a lamp in them, both beside the bed. There's also a small bathroom. Nabeel quickly takes a shower and then gets on the computer, playing games and checking some internet forums out. Sarah, after bathing, watches TV. and then reads some of her novels. After about four hours, at 8:00 PM, they go to sleep with Nabeel sleeping on the sofa with Treecko, and Sarah sleeps with her Torchic on the bed.

To Be Continued.............

Thanks for the reply! Was the chapter too long? Just asking, because it consisted of about 6000 words...which I think is way tooo much. I will try to write chapters from about 3500-4500 words.. And, did you like the Pokemon talk conversation?

[Diamondlance]

Yes, that chapter was quite long, but very good. Now, there are two errors I'll point out for you that I found. I'm not picking on you; I'm just trying to help you out.
1. Poocheyna is not the correct spelling; it's Poochyena. Kind of like Pooch + Hyena, only with one "h".
2. Dustox are not all males, and Beautifly are not all female. Whether a Wurmple evolves into one of them depends on the time of day, and not on the gender.

Also, I'm not sure if Nabeel and Sarah should have shared a room. Although one sleeps on the couch and the other sleeps on the bed, that probably was not a good idea.

Other than that I loved the chapter and the Poké-speak. Nice job, and keep it up!

[Venasaur89]

Hi Joe! Thanks for the reply. I guess I got mixed up in Poochyena's spelling. I corrected it, but the second one... Beautiflys always looked kinda "female" to me, they are more beautiful looking than Dustox...and Dustox looks more like a male, than female.

Yeah, I see now what you mean. They won't share a room from the next chapter! :)

ALso, "A hustling, bustling city"

And here's a schedule when the chapters will be posted. And since they are gonna be really long, I am gonna post one or two preview for the chapter.

Monday: Nothing.

Tuesday: Preview.

Wednesday: Nothing.

Thursday: Preview.

Friday: Nothing.

Saturday: New Chapter!

Sunday: Nothing.

The dates of "preview" might change, because sometimes I don't have enough text for a preview. A preview is gonna be something interesting and exciting which occurs in the upcoming chapter.

Thanks readers!

Thanks for the reply! you won't be back till about Nabeel is in Fallabor town...and you are gonna play a very important role.. and you are gonna stay for about 2-4 chapters. I don't wanna give out any spoilers.

[Diamondlance]

Hey, Venasaur89. Looking at them, Beautiflies definitely look more feminine than Dustoxes. In fact, when I first started Ruby, I thought gender decided whether Wurmple would evolve into Cascoon or Silcoon. I learned that's not the case, and there's a lot of weird evolutions in R&S. Shedinja and Milotic are two examples, but that's off topic. Anyway, I'll be looking forward to your previews, Venasaur89!

[Venasaur89]

HI Joe!

Well, I haven't decided on Shedinja or Milotic..ALso, I was unable to write in the story yesterday because I had to help my little bro/ do his homework, which took my time off. But, expect a preview sometime at night!

And also, a good news for the fic. In about 5 or 6 days, Ramadan will be starting. For some of you who don't know what is it, it is a holy month for us muslims, and people that are 13 older have to fast everyday from the dawn to the dusk....So, I won't be able o go outside and ride my bicycle or do anythign else because of this ANd the daylight time saving times...So, I will have more time to write in the fIC!!:)

EDIT: Scroll Up to see a new addition at the end of the chapter!!

hope yall like it.

[Diamondlance]

Nice idea for the pictures! By the way, I wasn't talking about Shedinja or Milotic for your story, I was just talking about them in general because on the game they evolve weird.

[Orion]

Guess who's back?XD.Great chapter!I liked it a lot!It was well described,long,even though I felt it shorter than other chapters...maybe it's because you're improving and you're making it a bit better!The Poké-talk was cool,and the battle was awesome!Great job!Just try to be a bit clearer,there's some things I must read twice to get,even if they're easily understood.

I'll be willing to see a new chapter soon.Keep it up!I see no problem on room sharing,though;)

Oh!BTW,I'll change my recurring character.Please take it into consideration,and forget about my last post,hehe.Info in next edit.:D

EDIT:Here you go!Here's my new character info.

Name: Orion
Sex: Male
Looks: Uses blue jeans,yellow shirt with a blue star in the middle.His hair is black,but is covered almost completely by the black cap he wears.He's 17,a bit strong,and wears a blue cape.
Pokemon: Blastoise,Bellossom,Clefable,Gengar,Salamence and Jolteon
Personality: Calm,but strong.He doesn't talks much,and can be a loyal friend if treated well.Tends to help indirectly,and specially timid with women.:rolleyes:
Type of trainer: Current champion of the Johto League.Currently has 2 Hoenn Badges.

Reasons for changing is for not messing with my own fic,and because he was far too strong...60 Badges ^^;;; Hope I appear someday.Keep it up,Venasaur!

[Venasaur89]

Diamondlace: THanks...I got the link from 2ra's fic.

Orion: Yeah, I figured out that you weren't gonna slack off --^-... It was short??Maybe it looked short because of the story line. Nabeel wakes up at 8, and then goes back to bed at 8...so thats about 12 hours... Yeah, I started a new sequence to the story, it would be interesting to know how pokemon talk and feel, wouldn't it? I will follow your advice and try to stay on the subject! And don't feel bad, about you not being in the story yet..it is because I have tons of requests from other boards, and I promise the next trainer will be you! in about a couple of chapters! and your new character info is accepted!:D

ANd...sorry for not putting up a preview on thursday, really busy. But, atleast, I got something today! :D The first preview! And expect something tommorow (chap or preview).

HEre's the preview of the next chapter, or a small paragraph taken from the upcoming chapter!

PREVIEW # 1

"La, la, la...laa..la..la...Laa, la la," the magnificent pokemon sings, as Nabeel hears this deep sound, and eventually feels drowsiness, and then just lays down, on a white cement bench, not aware of what danger lies ahead. The pokemon stops singing, after Nabeel goes to sleep, and then tries to push him up to the right-hand corner, where a mysterious figure stands.

-----------------

was it short?? then wait for the next one!! and scroll down in the main TPM forums screen, at the very end, tommorow or after a few hours, for something about me!

[Diamondlance]

That was interesting.

[Venasaur89]

Thanks! here's the second preview like I promised, and it is on time!!:D and even longer!

PREVIEW # 2



"Arcanine, stop," the lady orders as the orange pokemon stops, eventually. "These crooks must be hiding somewhere here in this forest, populated with hundreds of trees," she anticipates as she walks toward the tree on their far left, and then walks toward the bush on the left.

Sarah, who is hiding behind the bush, suddenly feels something on her back, as all of them are leaning on the ground. She taps her back, but the tiny creature just crawls to her neck-bone. The lady looks suddenly eyes the crawling Wurmple, but couldn't see Sarah's body because a bush, just left of them, is tall as Sarah's back, when she leans down. The bug pokemon continues to crawl over her body, and grovels on her back. Sarah finally gets tired of it, and taps her back, repeatedly. Suddenly, the tiny Wurmple sticks to her hand, and causes her to yell!

"Ahhh...ahhh," she crepts as she gets up and then sweeps the worm pokemon off her hand. She also notices somebody walking to her from her left, vigorously.


--------------------

HOPE yall like it..

AND the next chapter will be up by tommorow.

[Diamondlance]

Interesting... I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens. See ya later!

[PikachuRocks]

Great fic so far.
Next Chapter ASAP please.

[Venasaur89]

PikachuRocks: Thanks for the reply. Please keep reading and replying in the story!:)

Here's the 10th chapter of the fic, people!


----------------------------------------------


PREVIOUSLY ON "TO EXPECT THE UN-EXPECTED"

As Nabeel and Sarah leaves Petalburg, they enter the Petalburg woods. Sarah then split up with Nabeel over an argument. Nabeel find some cool pokemon such as Wurmples, Aipoms, Poocheynas, and Nincadas. He then gets attacked by a couple of Mightyenas after a failure catch of Poocheyna. Nabeel got through with it, only to find Sarah in trouble by two trainers. Her Torchic faints against a Scyther and a Pikachu as Nabeel challenges those two trainers to a battle. Treecko easily defeats the Pikachu but the match ends in a draw. Sarah then finds the same Mightyena with a red scar on his face, who attacked Nabeel, earlier in the day. She then gracefully catches it. The trainers then find a trainer lodge and then go to sleep, eventually.

--------------------------------------------------




Chapter 10:
A Husting, Bustling City




"Aaaaaa.gh...gh" Nabeel moans as he raises his hands, and eventually falls off the white sofa into the red carpet. Treecko is still sleeping by him, while Sarah and Torchic are lying on the bed, inattentively. Sarah's panties are outlined from the curves in her black pajama. Nabeel quickly gets up, and examines the room. After a few seconds, he remembers what happened. He then leans down for his backpack, and takes out his toothbrush, toothpaste, a dark blue Arizona Denim pants, white boxers, and his white Starters T-Shirt, which says "Starters" in the right corner in grey color. He takes his clothes and ambles inside, turns on the white tube-light, and turns the tap on the to the right, as it releases the cold water in a high pressure. He quickly turns it a little to the left, slowing it down, and then washes his face, brushes his teeth, smoothly. After that, he changes into his new clothes, and then exits the bathroom, entering the room. Nothing has changed, everybody is sleeping like before.

"Ohh, its just 6 o'clock" he says, quietly, and sits on a wood chair, in front of the table. He thinks about what to do. After a few moments of critical thinking, he takes out his Poke-Nav from his backpack, and then turns it on. He presses a button and a bunch of text appears on the screen, which have three lines, "Distance from here to the next city," "Distance from the previous city to here," and "A map from here to the next city." He presses the down button and then presses okay on "Distance from here to the next city." The small machine begins to detect where he is right now, and it says "Detecting...please wait", and then after a few moments it shows "25 miles" on the screen. "Ohh...just 25 miles away from Rustboro, we should be there in the afternoon" he thinks cheerfully. He suddenly gets up and then exits the room, entering into the hallway. He then goes across the main room and exits the building.

As he enters the fresh air, he sights a beautiful scene: several Beautiflys flying through the trees, cool wind is touching Nabeel's body, and an enchanting garden, on the east of this south of this building, filled with admirable flowers, colored red, yellow, pink, and blue. The garden is protected by a huge glass which is about 10 feet tall and covers the whole, rectangular shaped garden. As he walks near it, he sights some weird looking green colored pokemon gardening the garden. Nabeel walks closer to them, and they appear to be a couple of Roselias. These green, small pokemon, have three green horns on their head. A pair of blue and red roses are attached to their hands. Their face is pale blue as their feet. These pokemon seems to be watering the garden, as well as singing, a really sweet sound that goes directly to your heart, better than the song of Jigglypuff.

Nabeel tries to find a way to the inside, but fails. However, he finds a small narrow edge between the edge of the glass and a building, right of it. He tries to gets into it, and succeeds, eventually. As soon as he enters the garden, he is is shrouded in the aroma of the flowers and the pokemon. Suddenly, the alluring pokemon notices him, they stops singing for a while and then starts to sing unusually, taking out a deep voice from inside of their bodies, "La..la..la....laa..la...la," the pokemon sings. Nabeel, who is close by, listens closely to this voice, and notices the Roselias' lips, which aren't moving at all!

"La, la... la...laa..la..la...Laa, la la," the magnificent pokemon sings, as Nabeel hears this deep sound, and eventually feels drowsiness. After a few moments later, he chooses to lay down on a white cement bench, not aware of what danger lie ahead. The pokemon stops singing, after Nabeel goes to sleep, and then abruptly try to push him up to the right-hand corner, where a mysterious figure stands.

"Uhh....I got you!" A female voice suddenly screams, as a thick, baseball bat strikes Nabeel's left arm. He wakes up, astoundingly.

"Ahhhh..." he screams in pain as he looks up at the alarmed lady, who looks at him with vicious looks.

"Who hit me?" he scream, as he feels real pain in his upper left arm.

"You crook, how did you even think of stealing my pokemon and my flowers?" she exhausts as she hits him again with the bat.

"Stop....who wants to steal your pokemon or your flowers? I was just looking at them" he protests as the lady calms down, "Now, don't even try it. I caught you red-handed or otherwise, my Roselias would be gone," she looks at him vigorously. "No..no, believe me," he remonstrances, but fails. "Crap...Nabeel, think, think..think quickly...." he thinks, as he sights a glimpse of hope: Sarah! She looks at him weirdly, along with Treecko and Torchic, and then heads toward him. "I am calling the cops right this moment!" the lady vows as Nabeel pledges, "No, just wait a minute. There's my friend over there. And there's my pokemon," Sarah and the pokemon gets in the garden, "What happened Nabeel?" Sarah asks curiously as Nabeel quickly responds, "Uh, I was just looking through the flowers and the pokemon when the Roselias sang something, which made me sleepy, and then she smacked me on my arm with a baseball bat," he answers as Sarah stares at the lady, who starts screaming all over again, "Ohh, so you are the one who planned this whole robbery? Let me call the cops," she shouts at them as she hurries in her white painted, small, rectangular house and then brings a cordless phone.

"What...what are you doing?" Sarah protests, but is quickly declined by the lady, "Hello, I am calling from 17th Avenue, Rosser Town, near Rustboro; two dangerous crooks had made a attempt to rob my pokemon and the flowers in my garden" she explains as Nabeel suddenly mutters to Sarah, "Let's get out of here.....RUN!" he shrieks and then runs as fast as he can. "What?....ah, hold on" Sarah calls and then runs as well. The lady suddenly notices them, "What? where do yall think you are going? I am gonna get you, Go Arcanine!" she orders as she leaves the cordless on the bench, and then throws a orange pokeball, revealing a big dog-like pokemon, with fiery eyes, has four feet, and stands taller than Nabeel. He has white fluff on his head and down his face, as well as his rear end. He has long black strips, like a Tiger, on his heavy, orange body.

"Arca..." the pokemon growls. The lady quickly gets on him, and then the race begins.

"Arcanine, turn left" she orders as Arcanine runs at the speed of the light. As Nabeel is running at an incredible speed, he finally leaves the plain land, and comes across another forest, much like the Petalburg Woods, but with fewer trees. He quickly hides behind a bush on the right side of the forest, behind the tree. He then leans forward, quietly, notices Sarah and the pokemon running. As she reaches the forest, Nabeel quickly grabs her and the pokemon, and then instructs her to hide hides behind the bush with him.

"Ohh..thanks," Sarah exclaims as they sight the lady coming on the agile Arcanine, who is dashing the ground. "Arcanine, stop," the lady orders as the orange pokemon stops in the middle of the forest, about 15 feet away from the group.

"These crooks must be hiding somewhere here in this forest, populated with hundreds of trees," she anticipates as she walks toward the tree on their far left, and then walks toward the bush on the left.

Sarah, who is hiding behind the bush, suddenly feels something on her back, as all of them are leaning on the ground. She taps her back, but the tiny creature just crawls to her neck-bone. The lady suddenly eyes the crawling Wurmple, but couldn't see Sarah's body because a bush, just left of them, is tall as Sarah's back when she leans down. The bug pokemon continues to crawl over her body, and grovels on her back. Sarah finally gets tired of it, and taps her back, repeatedly. Suddenly, the tiny Wurmple sticks to her hand, and then causes her to yell!

"Ahhh...ahhh," she crepes as she gets up and then sweeps the worm pokemon off her hand. She also notices somebody walking to her from her left, vigorously. Nabeel,too, quickly gets up, and looks at the lady, who is walking rapidly towards them. Everybody then runs wildly again. The lady follows Nabeel as he dodges her into a tree, and then hides again behind another branch. Sarah, and the pokemon hides behind another one, when the lady was after Nabeel. The lady, tries her best to find Nabeel, running all over the forest, in a matter of few minutes.

"Ahhh...ahh," the lady screams in pain as she finally gives up, and then walks toward her Arcanine.

"Arcanine, let's...uhhaa (coughs)...go back..uha (coughs)..home," she orders as she sits on the back of her pokemon and then Arcanine heads toward Russer Town. After a few minutes, Nabeel trembles down to Sarah and the pokemon.

"Shooo...that was close," Sarah calls as they all celebrate their freedom.

"I hope that old lady is alright. We sure made her go crazy!" Nabeel exclaims as Treecko and Torchic call their names, happily.

"She was dumb. We didn't even harmed her garden or the pokemon," Sarah comments as Nabeel quickly answers, "Yeah, maybe she love her garden a lot....Okay, well, how do we get our bikes back," he asks.

"Well, we will just stay quiet and just sneak out," she answers, as they walk back to the Trainer Lodge. As they reach the garden, they shambles to the motel, get on their bikes, and then quietly paddles away to the forest.

"Look there, we are just 10 miles away from Rustboro," Nabeel comments as he points to a blue board, on the left which notified them. "Ohh, great. I have heard that the gym leader there uses rock-type pokemon, which are weak against water, grass, and fighting types," she explains as they are now riding their bikes peacefully. There's not much traffic on the road, except for few cars and a couple of trainers traveling ahead of them.

"Ohh, Grassy and Shroomish are both grass types; the battle should be a sweat for me!" He exclaims as Sarah breaks in, "But, I have heard that the gym leader uses a really powerful rock pokemon, Nosepass." They talk as they ride their bicycle at a low speed.

"Nosepass? a pokemon with a big nose, and then it passes? complicated," he is confused as Sarah laughs a bit and then says, "No, it's not gonna be a pokemon with a big nose...we'll just have to wait and see." The gang now passes the forest as a desert-like field appears in front of them. There's nothing except for light brown sand on either sides.

"What.....how long is it?" Nabeel groans as it appears the desert is endless. They paddles for about half an hour, as fast as they could, with the pokemon sleeping, until they come across a sign, which give the a glimpse of hope. "Rustboro City" it says and next to it is an arrow which points to the right. Then they eye another blue sign which reads, "Marvel Construction & Civil Co.," the arrow points to the left. Finally, they see one last sign, "Cromota Desert," and the arrows points to the north this time.

"Great, there's the road to Rustboro, so better not miss the exit!" Nabeel cheers up as they see a thick road, to the right. They make a right turn as they come across the road. As they enter the road, they see another sign after a couple of minutes. "Rustboro City" it says, and the arrow points to the left this time. Nabeel and Sarah makes a slight turn going in a curvy road. After a minute of paddling in the circled road, they merge into a huge highway, and unlike anywhere else, the road is jammed with hundreds of cars, trucks, motor cycles, and bikes! There are a couple of Mercedes in sight, a lot of Hondas, Mazdas, and Dodge vans, along with a few Stallions, Corvettes, and Ferraris. There are tall purple lights, guiding the people at night, and are of course, turned off at this hot hour of afternoon. There are five lanes for the vehicles to go, but all of them are crowded.

"What the...." Nabeel moans suddenly as he quickly pushes the brakes, almost bumping the red Mazda in front of him, when it stopped without warning because of the heavy traffic.

"What you doing?" Sarah asks as he simply smiles at her, "Is there any other way we can get to Rustboro? I don't think that we are gonna make it before 12 o'clock in this traffic," he complains, as the cars starts to go ahead, but then quickly stops after few minutes, slowing down.

"Quit complaining, maybe there's a accident or something.." She replies as they paddle a few times, but then stops. This process continues for the next hour and then they finally see the sign, "Welcome to Rustboro," in Italics.

"Yeah, I think now the exits will appear. Let's go to the Pokemon Center first, okay?" Sarah asks as they sights a green sign on the far left, which says, "Benchmark Pokemon Center 1 mile."

"Okay, fine with me," he replies back as the traffic is much faster now. After couple of minutes, they see a sign, "Benchmark Pokemon Center" and the arrow points to the right. Nabeel and Sarah turns to the right, along with few other cars and bikes. There's a bridge, left of them, above the highway. Nabeel, who is in front of Sarah, takes a right and paddles rapidly. Sarah, following him, paddles as fast as she can, getting in front of him. As they come across the first signal, they sight a couple of huge buildings on both sides. The one on the right, which is totally black, is about 50 feet tall, and it says, "The National Bank of Hoenn," in large writings above the entrance. The one on the left is as tall as the one on the right, but is colored white with gray glasses. Above the entrance is a large sign which says, "Holiday Inn." It is pretty hot outside with the heated rays of sun are touching their clothes, and is making them pretty hard to look in front because of the sunlight.

The signal light changes to green as Nabeel and Sarah travel on the pathways. After riding for about 10 minutes, as they see some more admirable skyscrapers, and a couple of white and black Lemos. After few minutes later, they come across another building on the right, but this one is rectangular shaped, and is labeled, "Pokemon Center," on the front.

"Ohh, finally, hurry up, take a right," Nabeel orders as Sarah nods and then they enter the parking lot, which is unusually big from others, and have about 50 cars, and as many bikes. Nabeel and Sarah park their bikes in the "Bicycle Corner," on the right side of the building. They enters the building, as they sight a hundreds of different kinds of pokemon, trainers, and other people. Some of them are just resting on the benches, while others are in a long line, in front of each of the twenty counters where they get their pokemon healed. The whole building is centrally air-conditioned, so the people can take a deep breath in this crowded city.

"Crap...this place is really crowded.. let's hurry up and get in the line," Nabeel suggests as Sarah nods and then both of them get in the line. After about 10 minutes of waiting, Nabeel and Sarah get their pokemon healed, and then they have to wait about 30 more minutes, when it will be their turn to get their pokemon back. They takes a seat on one of the soft, blue, benches, placed on each sides of the building.

"Okay, I have to go to the Devon Corporation to get my Pokedex after we get the pokemon healed from here," Sarah tells him, as Nabeel remembers something, and then quickly calls it out, "Ohh yeah, I have to get my pokedex too. And also, I need to get some money from my account. I saw the National Bank when we were coming here," he remarks.

"Okay, then we'll go straight to the Devon Corporation, then the bank, and then the gym," she suggests as Nabeel nods, "How about we eat something first?" He groans.

"Okay then, there must be a Trainer's Block somewhere around here, then we'll go to the Devon Corporation, then the bank, and then finally to the gym," she confirms as Nabeel nods. After few minutes of waiting, a nurse speaks on the microphone, "Nabeel Siddiqui and Sarah Cort, please get your pokeballs from the front holder, Thank You." Nabeel, not knowing what is happening, think about the lady.

"Oh, hurry up....common Nabeel," Sarah calls as Nabeel gets up and then follows her. They get their pokeballs from a pokeball holder machine. Nabeel releases Treecko and then places Shroomish's pokeball in his belt, as Sarah too puts her pokeballs into her belt.

"Excuse me nurse, could you please tell me where is the Trainer's Block restaurant from here?" She asks politely to a tall, white nurse, with blonde hairs, wearing black glasses along with a red shirt and a blue pants.

"Yes, just take a right from here, and the restaurant will be on your right," she replies, gladly as Nabeel and Sarah with Treecko exits the building, and then paddles their way out. They take a right, and after a few minutes, they sight a small, brown building, which is labeled, "Trainer's Block Restaurant." They park their bikes and then enters in. The restaurant is less crowded than the Pokemon Center. Sarah picks an empty seat and then releases her pokemon, Mightyena and Torchic. Nabeel, too, releases his Shroomish. As the Mightyena comes out of his pokeball, he vigorously stares at Nabeel, and then roars a few times. The red mark above his eye is still there, and sometimes, a red drop of block, covers the scar.

"Sarah, I think you shouldn't let your Mightyena out of his pokeball...it looks...dangerous!" He yells as Mightyena quickly jumps at him, and starts to bite his right arm, but Treecko pushes him back to the seat. But Mightyena give it an another shot and harshly raises his face at Nabeel, almost biting him. Sarah tries to stops him, and her success is limited as she can't hold the pokemon back to his seat. Nabeel then quickly gets up and then runs away from the dark pokemon.

"RETURN HIM!" Nabeel yells as Sarah quickly points the pokeball at Mightyena, pressing the white button, and then Mightyena returns to his pokeball, eventually. Nabeel walks back to his seat.

"Shoo...you better watch out with your Mightyena. I think he's not in your total control," he makes jokes as she tells him to "Shut up." After eating a fish sandwich, some fries, and a glass of coke, Nabeel is full of energy and ready to go. Sarah and pokemon finish their meals too, and then they exit the building. Sarah then returns her pokemon, so does Nabeel.

"Crap...it's 5 o'clock already," Nabeel groans as Sarah replies, "Well, lets go to the Devon Corporation now," she says as Nabeel nods and then walks up to a old man, sitting on a cement bench.

"Excuse me sir, do you know the way to the Devon Corporation from here?" He asks respectively as the old man answers, "Sure, just take a left from here, and turn right on the highway across the bridge and you'll see the Devon Corporation sign from over there," he explains as Nabeel thanks him and then tells Sarah to follow him. He takes a left and then goes straight. The traffic is much clearer now, so the vehicles are going pretty fast. After about 10 minutes, they come across the same bridge that they went by before, and then they merge into the highway by taking a right. The highway is not jammed now, unlike in the afternoon. They paddles as fast as they can, but the city appears to be endless. After about 30 minutes, they sight a sign, which says, "Devon Corporation Area," and the arrow points to the right. After a minute, they take the exit and merge into another highway, much smaller than the main Rustboro highway. They start seeing signs as "Research Laboratories", with the arrow pointing to the left. After about 10 minutes, after seeing several other signs of Devon Corporation, they see a sign, "Devon Corporation-Trainer Products" and the arrow points to the left. They quickly take the exit, as come across a huge parking lot. There, they see four huge buildings. The one to the far left says, "Devon Corporation- Pokedex." The one to the right of this is labeled, "Devon Corporation- Poke-Nav." The one right of this is labeled, "Main Office-Trainer Department," and the one on the far right says, "Devon Corporation- Other Products." All of these buildings are about 60 feet tall, and are black buildings, with glasses.

Nabeel and Sarah quickly park their bikes beside, "Devon Corporation- Main Office-Trainer Department" building. There are hundreds of people seen outside, going on or coming out of the buildings. Nabeel and Sarah quickly enters the building. There's a sign which says, "Pick Up Orders." Nabeel and Sarah heads toward this office. They get in the line, behind about ten people. There are actually five lines, and this is the shortest. After a few minutes, they get their turn.

"How may I help you?" The short lady answers, who is wearing a white shirt, a black dress pant, and a black coat, covering her white skin.

"Yeah, I am Nabeel Siddiqui. Professor Birch of Little Root ordered a pokedex for me, so I am here to pick it up," Nabeel quickly answers her.

"Okay, well, let me check your order. How do you spell your last name?" The lady asks.

"Ohh, S-i-d-d-i-q-u-i," he answers, deliberately.

"Okay.." she says as she types the name in her computer, and after a few minutes, she continues, "Okay, the professor has ordered an Poke-Melt for you," Nabeel and Sarah looks a it confused about this Poke-Melt. "Now you ask what is a Poke-Melt?" she asks as Nabeel quickly nods, "Okay, Poke-Melt is a latest device created by the Devon Corporation, which works as a Pokedex as well as a Poke-Nav," she explains, cheering Nabeel and Sarah.

"Great," he says, he then turns around and looks at Sarah, who then walks up to the counter

"Uhh, excuse me, I am also expecting a Poke-Melt," Sarah asks politely, "What is your last name?" The lady asks tensely.

"Ohh, its Cort, C-o-r-t," she spells her name out as the lady looks through her computer and then answers, "Okay, we have a Poke-Melt for you as well," she answers.

"Ohh, that's great," she exclaims as the lady tells them to wait a minute and then she calls somebody from the back store room, and then a black, tall man appears, carrying two packages.

"Here, sign here please," the lady commands as Nabeel and Sarah sign their names on the reciept and then the lady hands each of them a separate receipt for the Poke-Melt.

"Next," the lady says as Sarah and Nabeel along with Treecko exits the building, heading toward their bikes as the sun has almost disappeared, notifying that the moon will become visible in few minutes.

"I wasn't expecting that we are gonna get a Poke-Melt," Nabeel says as Sarah replies, "Yeah, a Poke-Melt, never heard of it. Let's go to the bank now," she says as Nabeel nods, and then both of them gets on their bikes and then takes a right to merge into the highway. The orange sunlight from the east proves that it'll be night in few minutes. In about 10 minutes, they see a sign which says, "Rustboro National Highway" and the arrow points to the left. Nabeel and Sarah makes a slight turn as they reach the highway, which looks enormous, with the purple street lights turned on. After about 30 minutes they sight the Benchmark Pokemon Center sign, and then they turn right into the exit. As they pass the signal light, they turn right into the Nation Bank of Hoenn parking lot. This bank is widely known as the "National Bank." They park their bikes and then heads toward the entrance, entering the back, quietly. The huge building isn't much crowded, so they skimly get in the line in front of the counter. In about a couple of minutes, its there turn.

"How may I help you?" The lady asks with a fake smile on her face, wearing a black shirt and a black coat, on her tanned skin. She is somewhere in her 40's, a bit attractive.

"Yeah, I need to withdraw $100 from my account," he explains as the lady quickly answers, "Okay, what's your account number?" She asks. Nabeel thinks for a second and then answers, "Uh..213807296." he answers unpausingly as she puts the account number into the computer and then Nabeel's picture appears on the computer along with other information about him. She presses some buttons on the computer keypad, and then finally touches the Enter button.

"Okay, here it is," she says as she opens the register and then takes out five $20 bills and then hands them to him. She also hands him a receipt, after it prints from the computer.

"Thanks.." he replies as they exits the building. Nabeel counts the money, and then puts the money in his wallet.

"Geez.. now that's what I call being rich!" Sarah kids as Nabeel smiles.

"Uhh, I think we should get some sleep, so we will have our matches tomorrow?" He suggests as he feels tired..

"Okay then, let's find a Trainer's Lodge then," she agrees as they sights a Trainer's Lodge building in front of the bank.

"Ohh, there it is," Nabeel points as Sarah nods and then they ride there bikes straight to the lodge. They park there bikes and then enters the building, which is totally crowded, with people sitting on the benches, scattered around the hall. They get in the line, and after about a minute, they are facing the manager.

"Yeah, we want two rooms for one night," he tells the manager, who is a black old men, wearing a white shirt under his brown pants. He has a short, black beard, and short hairs.

"Okay, just fill out this form, and the charge for two rooms for one night will be $10 each," he says as he hands them two forms, one for Sarah and one for Nabeel. He also hands them two blue ink pen. They quickly fill out the form which asks for some basic information about them. Nabeel takes out a $20 bill from his wallet and hands it to the manager, who great accepts it.

"Okay, then here are the keys for room numbers 14 and 15 on the 6th floor. The check out time is 9 o'clock. And, here's your receipt" he explains as Nabeel takes the keys and then the receipt. They then heads toward the elevator. They enter the elevator and Sarah presses the "6" on it, which takes them to the 6th floor. After exiting the elevator in about 30 seconds,, Nabeel and Sarah finds room numbers 14 and 15.

"Okay then, we should wake up at about 8 o'clock in the morning, so we won't have to wait for a long time in the gym," Nabeel suggests, as Sarah answers, "Yeah, you're right. So, we better get to sleep," she answers as she unlocks her room and then closes the door. Nabeel then puts the keys in his door lock and then goes inside. He quickly changes into his shorts, and a large sized shirt, and goes to sleep on the bed along with Treecko.

Hope you like this chapter! It wasn't really action-packed, but I promise you that the next chapter will be! with 2 gym battles!

If there are any quiet readers, please reply..that's how I know that someone's reading my story and the ways which I can get better.

Thanks :yes:

[DannyBoy]

That was an ok chapter. Just seemed like a filler because not much happened. Next chapter seems like it will be a gym one since they are right there. Itr was funny when Mightyena attacked Nebeel! It just wasn;t his day especially getting atacked by the old lady and Arcanince. Keep it up!

[Zee Sage]

Great chapter, I really liked it, it was funny when Mightyena bit Nabeel.

[Venasaur89]

Thanks for the quick replies everybody!:)

ILoveX-Tina: Yeah, this chapter was kinda filler. I introduced several things in this chapter such as the bank, Devon Corp., the highway, Arcanine, Roselia, and a big city. I tried to make Rustboro a large city like NY and WAshinton DC. Yeah, you will learn about Mightyena's past in one of upcoming chapters, and why is it angry at Nabeel.

Zee Sage: Yeah, I tried to make the chapter a bit funny with the old lady going after the group and Mightyena attacking Nabeel. By the way, I am still waiting for the next chapter in your fic. Are there any problems you are facing?

Well, all I can about the next chapter is that it will be action packed with 2 gym battles, and a couple of pokemon will make thier debut. I have just added the pokemon pictures, and a pokemon which will appear in the next chapter! Scroll up to see.

[Diamondlance]

Good chapter with lots of detail. Perhaps it was a bit long for what little action there was though. But like you said, it was mostly filler and next one will be action-packed!

Thanks for the reply Joe!

Yeah, mostly a filler. I hoped you liked the funny sequence in the chapter.

So, get ready for some action!

[Venasaur89]

Well, sorry for not updating but I have very important news, related to the fic. Last week, I was kinda slacking off, and was just planning for the next chapters. While I was doing that, I started editing my previous chapters. So now, they are bigger, better, finer, wider, superior, more worthier, healthier, greater, longer.......blah, blah...so check 'em out!

Well, here's some news about the fic:

Uhh, as some of you may have personally known me, I am from Pakistan, and am living in US for the past 3 years. But now, our plans have changed and me and my whole family is moving back to my home country. Inshallah, I will be leaving on the 19th of this month. So, I am gonna start a new life. And I am taking my CPU with me, so it won't be much long before you see more chapters! But, thats not the first thing I'll do when I get there. I am gonna keep ya'll updated as time goes on. I'll probably get more time to write in the fic over there because the school there is 8-2 pm.

for more info check out the miscleanous forums.

Can I rely on you guys to keep this fic on the top? thanks.

Remember, I am not quitting this fic. I will post the chapters as I get there. BUT, I will try to post the next chapter before I leave!

I am really busy with packing and other stuff...

expect a preview this weekend.
THanks, and all comments are welcome!

[Diamondlance]

The town is the ideal place for people who are hostile and love to live in a peaceful place.

This is from the prologue. I don't know if this is something you added, but "hostile" means aggressive, violent, prone to anger, and things like that. It doesn't fit well with living in a peaceful place. Hope this helps!

[Venasaur89]

Thanks for the correction Joe! I have fixed it. It may sound weird but some words sounds like opposites to what they mean to me. Like, the word "brief" sounds to me like fully described, or descriptive, long. Hostile sounds to me like the opposite. but, hopefully this won't happen again.

Sorry guys, I am not gonna be able to put the next chapter because of all the packing and stuff. for e.g....after school, we will go to a dinner party and comeback at about 9....that's how it is.

And also, I am departing on the 20th, which is Thrusday to Pakistan/ so don't be surprise when u don't see me active for quite a few days. But, I will have a frest start to the fic, after I have settled in Karachi. yup..the fics gonna be whooole lotta better!

and it won't be long before that happens and I will write at a faster pace as well!

so until then.....:wave:

[Diamondlance]
