There was a guy dressed in a green cape standing before them.

"What is it?" Matt asked Jack.
"Oh…nothing, a memory of my childhood came up" Jack replied and was hoping that Matt bought it.
"Ok…" Matt said, he didn't understand.

Suddenly the man in the cape dissapeared.

They went ahead out the forest atlast and saw a trainertip sign: 'Treetopcity right ahead' it said.

"Well, looks like where here!" Jack said relieved.
"Here? I don't see nothing only a big tree…" Matt said disbelieving Jack.
"The three is the city!" Jack said and he poined towards the sky where Matt saw a plate of wood on the tree with a whole city on top of it, on that tree were 2 other tree's much smaller then the big one.

"HOWLY COW!" Matt said amazed by the sight.
"Pretty neet, huh!" Jack said.
"You bet ya!"

They went towards the big tree and saw a stair made out of wood.
"Now what do we do?" Matt asked Jack.
"Well, those stairs lead towards the first platform of Treetopcity, then for the 2 other tree's there are elevators." Jack explained.
"Good, let's get going then!" Matt said and he went as first on the wooden stairs.

After a half hour of climing those stairs, Matt stopped.

"YES! the end!" He said while showing Jack a hole in the platform.
"Yes, I know comme on, let's go…" Jack said pushing Matt up.

They went through the hole and saw a big, modern city.
"Can you believe this! A whole city ontop of a tree!" Matt said.
"Yes…Look there is a pokemoncenter over there" Jack replied.

They arrived at the center and looked around.

"Can I help you?" Nurse Joy asked.
"Sure! Here!" Matt said and he handed over his pokeballs.
"Can you heal them?" Matt asked0
"Ofcourse, do you're pokemon need healing as well?" Joy asked Jack.
"Yah…sure…" Jack replied but he was staring at a poster.

Jack threw his balls to Matt and Matt gave nurse Joy the pokeballs. Then he walked over towards Jack.

"What do you see?" Matt asked.
"Look here, it's a poster about this gym's badge" Jack said and showed Matt the poster.
"This gym is known for it's bug type pokemon, the specialty of this city's gym is 'BUGBEAM' a move disigned by the gymleader: Fog. Watch out for these bug's because they are mostly fast but you have those endurence bug's aswell, so be carefull! Use fire or flying pokemon!" Matt read outloud, it was a warning poster.

"In hoenn, the first two badges must have a warning poster, for rookie trainers, it contains some info about the gymtype and/or specialty. And some info about what type is good against the gym." Jack explained.

"Hmm, intresting….Bugbeam…Maybe the tech has something to say about the move" Matt asked himself.

He took his dex and searched for Bugbeam.

"Ah! Here it is!" Matt said and he pressed a button.

'Bugbeam: a powerfull bug attack, most likely the best bugattack besides Megahorn, it's striking power is 80, it's accuracy is 95 and it has one side affect: there is a change this attack will poison you're pokemon. It is a green beam. When it hits and you get lucky it will spread mini bugs, those bugs inject a poison. This however is very rare, the only one who ever got the side effect was Bug-master Fog. No further data.'

"Woow! That is some attack!" Matt said.
"Yeah, you better watch out!" Jack said with a grimmy smile.
"You better watch out aswell!"
"No…" Jack replied." I have discided not to take the gymchallenge."
"Why not?" Matt asked.
"I want to become a breeder and fighting is not the good way to acieve my goal, I now realise that." Jack explained.
"Oh…well, good luck!"

"You're pokemon are fully healed!" Nurse Joy had arrived with the pokemon.
"Ok, great!" Matt said. He accepted the balls and have Jack his.
"Thank you for coming! I hope we'll see you again!" Joy said.
"Thanks!" they both said and waved.

They explored the town, ate and finnaly went to the 2 upper trees.

"Well, witch one do we have to take?" Matt asked.
"According to this guidebook, we need to take the left one, if we want a good training spot. From there you can get to the gym, who is located on the right tree" Jack replied.
"But if the gym is on the right one, we don't need to go to the left one? And by the way how did you get that guide?"Matt was confused.
"I picked that up at the restraurant! ok, the right one will lead you directly to the gym, and if you go to the left one, it will give some time to train." Jack explained.
"Ok then, the left one it is!" Matt said and they stepped in the elevator.

Jack pressed the button and the elevator went to the top and open his doors.

"Ok, were here!" Jack said.

"GO Wing! Go Cacta!" Matt yelled and released his pokemon.
"GO Furret! Go Pidgey!" Jack released his pokemon aswell.

"Let's start with checking you're levels…." Matt said. He grabbed his tech and pressed the blue button.

'Cacta: l.5 ability's: Tackle, leer' Matt aimed his dex at Wing now.
'Crawto: l.9 ability's: Smog, Nightshade, Mudslap and Gust'

"What! Gust! Amazing!" Matt yelled in excitement.
"Now Jack's…"
'Error, the trainers hasn't given his approval'
"What is this!" Matt shouted.
"This is for safety! If the trainer doesn't give his approval, you can't scan his pokemon for attacks, this is for the element of surprise! So you can't scan you're opponent's pokemon for it's attacks" Jack explained

"Ok, may I scan yours?" Matt asked Jack.
"Sure go ahead" Jack replied.

'Furret l.19 ability's: Double-edge, Defense curl, Fury swipes and Quick attack'
'Pidgey l.6 ability's: Tackle, Sand-attack'

"Well, it's Cacta that is going to need training the most, but I will use Wing the most! What should I do?" Matt asked Jack.
"I would train Cacta and Wing! Let's battle for training!" Jack suggested.
"Good! Wing you battle with Pidgey!" Matt said. Wing nodded.
"And you battle with Cacta!" Jack said to Furret;" But go easy on him"
"CAC!!!!!!" it sounded mad because he thought he was underestimated.
"It's ok Cacta! You will battle fair." Matt said.

And so did the training began. Wing and Pidgey fought in an airbattle, but Cacta was having trouble with Furret, he was much to fast and could easily dodge every tackle Cacta did.

"Caacc!" Suddenly it happend, Cacta became a flash of light, appeared right before the nose of Furret and puched him in the face.

"What the hell!" Matt looked supprised. He pointed his dex at Cacta.

'Mach Punch: it's striking power is 40, accuracy is 100 and it has one side effect: it always attacks first. This attack comes in handy against fast opponents.'

"Cool, ok Cacta! Use Mach punch!" Matt commanded, he knew this was a good attack to faint a normal type.

Cacta flashed before Matt's eyes and went towards Furret. As usuall it hitted Furret right in between his eyes.

Furret was getting punched by Cacta when he started concentrating on Wing.

"Ok Wing! Use gust!" Matt yelled. Wing understood him and flapped its wings so hard that a minature tornado appeared and fainted Pigey.

"Oops, sorry…Looks like Wing is to strong for Pidgey…" Matt appoligezed to Jack.
"It's ok, but I will not let my furret be defeated by Cacta!" Jack said with a big smile on his face.
"Furret enough! Come here!" Jack yelled. Furret looked supprised but came to his master.
"Hey! What are you doing!" Matt protested against Jack.
"I'm going to heal my Furret, you heal Cacta and prepare for a great battle!" Jack said.

"Ok,!" Matt said and he sprayed Cacta 2 times with the potion spray.

After that, Jack went away for a while, and Matt made good use of that to train Cacta a bit more.

"Well I'm back!" Jack said.
"What have you been doing?" Matt asked.
"You'll see…" Jack replied with a devilish smile.

"Cacta! Attack!" Matt yelled and Cacta prepared himself.
"Furret! Let's kick some ***." Jack said and furret nodded while he took his position aswell.

"Cacta! Use Mach punch!"
"Furret, counter with Quick attack!"

You could see Cacta flash again, but this time Furret beated in speed with a quick attack.

"What is this! Mach punch always attacks first!" Matt yelled.
"Yes, but in case there is another first strike move used, the fastest one wins, and that is my furret because of his higher level!" Jack explained.

"Darnit! Cacta we can still win! Use leer attack!"
"Furret, don't look! Use double team!"

Furret shut his eyes and made a several copies of himself surrounding Cacta.
"What kinda trick is this!" Matt said
"It's that TM I bought!" Jack answerd.
"Hmm…" Matt was getting mad because he didn't buy any TM's.

"Cacta, use Tackle!"
"Furret, use Defense curl!"

All the copies rolled up into a defense position.

"Bad choice! Cacta, Mach punch them one by one, in there defense position they can't flee!" Matt comanded.
"Cacta!" He understood and began to punch the furret one by one.

"Furret, don't let him come to you! Use Quick attack!"

Just like before, Furret beated Cacta at first strike, Cacta flew back and hurted himself.

"Now finish with DOUBLE-EDGE!"

Furret began to glow and prepared himself for the attack.

"NO!" Matt yelled when he saw Furret rush towards Cacta.

"Fuurrrrrrrr!" As he smashed himself against Cacta, Cacta fainted but Furret had dome some damage to his own.

"You won! But you're furret was at higher level so it was expected, and it was smart of you to teach him that Double team TM." Matt congratulated Jack.

"Yeah, we will heal them at the center, get some rest and battle the leader tomorrow! Ok?" Jack suggested.

"Ok, that’s fine by me" Matt said.

And so they went down, let there pokemon sleep in the healing machine and rented one room this time, since they were short on cash…
