Becoming a Hoenn Master

[Dragon_Claw]

I don't even know how much far I'm gonna go with this fic, I just want to see if it has more succes then P.S.F

Chapter one - Goal: Dragon's Den

Hi, my name is Brad. I live in Blackthorn City. I am currently 10 year old. I already got official permission to go on my Pokémon quest, but I promised my best friend Jason to wait until he was old enough en got official permission. We both study in the Blackthorn Academy, where we have to learn everything about Pokémon before going on our Pokémon quest. Well, class is starting, and I not better get another foul grade.

‘Well everybody, I think we’ll not open the books today.’ The teacher said.

‘Wow, this is great!’ Daisy, a girl from the class said!

‘Not really Daisy, seeing we’ll say goodbye to three people today.’ the teacher sighed.

‘Huh? I thought only Brad and I where leaving on a Pokémon quest.’ Jason said confused.

‘You wished!’ a voice from the back off the class came.

‘That’s right, Alicia will be leaving on her adventure too.’ The teacher said.

Ever since the kindergarten Alicia and Jason hated each other, but I think her heart would be broken if she couldn’t come with us.

‘You want to come with us Alicia?’ I asked her.

‘Come where?’ she replied ignorant.

‘On our adventure!’ I yelled excited.

‘Oh boy’ Jason said.

‘Sure, I’ll go with you guys.’ She said like she didn’t care.

‘Oh yeah, by the way you three, the principal asked if you could come by. I’ll write you a note for the Den keeper.’ The teacher said.

Nobody ever spoke to the principal, only some of the people who left to go on their journey. That is mostly because he lives in the Dragon’s Den, where it’s very tough getting there. Of course this means that we don’t have to visit him when we get punished.

‘Take this’ the teacher said while giving me a box. ‘Use this if you’re in trouble.’

When we got outside Jason and Alicia immediately snatched the box, and they found a Pokéball inside. ‘Pokémon, go!’ Alicia yelled while throwing the Pokéball at the ground.

‘Altari…aaah!’ a blue cloud bird said.

‘Altaria, the dragon/flying Pokémon’ I said.

‘flying? Let’s fly to the principal’s office!’ Jason said.

We climbed on top of Altaria, and we gave the note from the teacher to the Den keeper. ‘Allright kids, you may enter the Den.’

When we got in, we saw trainers training their Pokémon. We flew over them, and then we crossed the water. All of the sudden Altaria fainted, and we all fell.

‘This isn’t that bad, we can just swim further’ Alicia said while returning Altaria to his Pokéball.

‘Is it me or are we moving?’ I asked Alicia and Jason.

‘Brad, don’t look now, but we’re being sucked into a giant whirpool.’ Jason said to me.

We all started screaming, but all of a sudden Jason and I saw Alicia being dragged away by something, and we got lifted in the air.

I opened my eyes and saw a guy standing over me. I jumped up, and looked around. We were in a building, and Jason and Alicia where already awake.

I screamed: ‘Oh my god, it’s the Dragon Master, Lance and Claire!’

Alicia said: ‘Don’t be stupid, they’re simple Pokémon trainers.’

‘I’m sorry to disappoint you little girl, but we are the three strongest dragon trainers.’ Claire said.

‘Yes, and you where lucky Claire and I where back in town, you better thank our dragons.’ Lance said.

‘Then who saved who?’ Jason said.

The Dragon Master said: ‘Salamence saved you, Kingdra saved you little girl, and Dragonite saved him.’

I said: ‘Wow, I got saved by a Dragonite!’

The dragon master then said: ‘We have a starting Pokémon for all of you.’

Alicia whispered to me: ‘Do you think we’ll get dragon Pokémon?’

[Chris 2.1]

uh-oh. Well, here goes. Trainer fics are TOO COMMON, and TOO ALIKE, but lets go change things.

Description is important. I DONT KNOW what HAPPNED in that whirlpool...is it some sort of lake at the school? you said 'The dragon MASTER, Lance AND Claire' which contradicts awfully. You then went on to say 'we THREE dragon masters'

Describe what the place is like, what people look like, first impressions of Pokemon and even personal preference with characters. use " instead of ', its eisier on the eyes IMHO.

[LegendaryMon]

ShinyMarill the Dragon Master and Lance and Clair are all differen't people. That is why he said there are three and that is why he has the Dragon Master talk himself. Don't critisize if you don't even understand.

Chapter two – 2 dragons and a larvae

‘Yes, you will get a dragon Pokémon.’ The dragon master said.

‘You will receive the small dragon wurm, Dratini.’ Lance said while handing me over a blue Pokéball.

‘You will get the small dragon, Bagon.’ The dragon master said while giving Jason a purple Pokéball.’

‘What dragon will I get Claire?’ Alicia asked excited.

‘Well about that, little girl. Bagon and Dratini where the only small dragons with two evolutions. So you can choose. You can have either Horsea, which evolves into Seadra and then Kingra, or Swablu which evolves into Altaria, or Trapinch who evolves into Vibrava and as the next stage Flygon.’ Clair responded.

‘I don’t know yet, what are the types exactly?’ Alicia asked, a bit disappointed.

Horsea and Seadra are water, Kingdra is dragon/water. Swablu is normal/flying and Altaria is flying/dragon, Trapinch is ground and Vibrava and Flygon are ground/dragon.’ Clair answered, noticing her disappointment.

‘Well, I’ll take Trapinch!’ she said, a little happier, taking the green Pokéball.

‘Well you guys better be on your way now, best of luck!’ Lance said.

We said goodbye and the dragon master’s Salamence took us to the exit of the Den. When we walked out we saw the whole class standing. The teacher asked us what they said and we proud showed her our Pokéballs. Everybody wanted to see our Pokémon, although Bagon and Dratini got more attention then Trapinch, seeing it wasn’t a Dragon Pokémon yet.

‘You better go home now, to get your stuff ready.’ The teacher said while Alicia gave back her Altaria.

We told each other to meat at the gym in 10 minutes to get going. I ran over to my house, finding my mom with my bag back in her hands.

‘You already packed my bag pack? Thanks a lot!’ I said to my mother.

‘Just so I could spend more time saying goodbye to you.’ She said with her soft gentle voice.

‘Oh yeah, I want you to see my Pokémon first.’ I told while letting Dratini out of his Pokéball.

‘Wow, a Dratini! How did you get that?’ she asked me.

‘Lance gave it to me!’ I replied.

‘By the way, I found this in the back yard, I want you to take this, maybe you can find out what is it.’ Mom said while handing me the object.

When I looked at it I immediately noticed it was an egg. This egg was green with a red-like spot in the middle, and swipes of dark green on the back.

‘Don’t worry Mom, I’ll make sure it hatches.’ I said to her, noticing she was worried. I continued: ‘Mom, I’ll be fine.’

‘What? Oh, actually, it was the egg I was worried about!’ She said with a blush on her cheeks.

A giant sweat drop on my fore head appeared, but then mom said: ‘Oh yeah, here are the three tickets for you and your friends.’

While I looked at the tickets I saw: ‘Olivine to Sootopolis.’

‘But mom, these tickets are from Olivine City to Sootopolis.’

‘Yes I know, why?’ she replied.

‘Well shouldn’t we do the Johto League first then?’ I nagged to her.

‘Your teacher said that Hoenn was a better place to gain experience.’ She said to me.

‘Okay then. Bye mom!’ I said while hugging her.

‘Bye Hun.’ She said.

I waved at her and then ran back to our meeting place. I saw Jason and Alicia standing there.

‘What’s that in your hand?’ Alicia asked immediately when I came walking up.

‘Oh, my mother found this in the garden, it’s a Pokémon egg.’ I whispered, I don’t even know why.

‘Well my mother gave me a fishing rod.’ She immediately replied. She could be so jealous.

‘My older brother who already is on his Pokémon journey send me his Gulpin. He doesn’t like it, but I think it’s awesome.’ Jason said.

‘Wow, let me see it Jason!’ I yelled.

‘Not now you babies, we must go on our journey now!’ Alicia yelled loud. I hated it when she acted like that.

‘Oh yeah guys, by the way we’re going to Hoenn, the teacher thought it was a good idea.’ I said.

‘Cool!’ they both replied at the same time.

‘But how are we going to get there?’ Alicia asked worried.

‘My mom will take us to Olivine City.’ Jason said.

‘Great, let’s go to your house then!’ I said.

The three of us went to Jason’s house, and Jason’s mother was more then happy to take us. When we where on our way, Jason couldn’t stop playing with his Gulpin, and Alicia was singing along with the songs on the radio. I looked back and saw the Dragon City, Blackthorn, keep getting smaller and smaller.

‘We’re here!’ Alicia screamed with her high-pitched voice.

‘You guys go ahead. I want to battle a Pokémon with my Gulpin.’ Jason then said.

‘Sure.’ I said, and Alicia and I went towards the ship.

When we got on the ship, Alicia started fishing.

‘Can’t you wait until we get in deeper water, you’re not going to catch anything here.’ I said to Alicia.

Then all of a sudden her rod started swinging like hell, and when she pulled it up a pink and white rock Pokémon was on her rod.

‘Cors.’ It said.

‘Trapinch, go. Trapinch, use your tackle.’ Alicia said to Trapinch.

Trapinch launched itself at the Pokémon, what knocked it out. Trapinch stood there like it defeated the 6 Pokémon of the Champion.

‘Lure Ball, go!’ Alicia yelled, while throwing a Pokéball with blue little striped on the front of it.

The ball shook once, shook twice, and then it shook for the third time, and the red light became white again.

Alicia jumped in the air and yelled: ‘Oh my god, I got a pink Pokémon thingy!’

‘How lame.’ I said.

I walked over to the shipper, and asked how many minutes where left for taking off.

‘Three exactly.’ The shipper said.

It surprised me that the shipper was a gentleman, and not some rough sailor. I climbed off board, because it was almost time to leave, and Jason still wasn’t on board.

[Dragon_Claw]

Chapter three – Heading for Hoenn!

I was checking everywhere in Olivine City to see if I could find Jason. But then all of a sudden I heard something.

‘Gulpin Sludge!’

I ran over there as fast as I could, but when I got there I saw a trainer standing.

‘Excuse me, but have you seen a young man battling with a Gulpin?’ I asked him.

‘Yeah, the guy kicked my Grimer’s ***.’ He replied.

‘Do you happen to know where he went?’ I asked him impatiently.

‘Yes, he was going to a boat in the dock, going to Hoenn.’ He said to me.

I ran back to the dock as fast as I could, but when I got there, the boat was leaving.

‘Crap!’ I yelled. ‘But wait, Dratini come out!’

I called Dratini out of his Pokéball and send him into the water. There I climbed on his back.

‘Dratini, follow that boat!’ I yelled.

Dratini was pretty fast, but it didn’t look like we where gonna make it.

‘Dratini, Extreme Speed!’ I yelled at Dratini.

Dratini then went super fast, and we got to the boat. Jason gave me his hand, and he pulled me up. Then I called back Dratini.

‘How long do we have to stay on the boat?’ I asked Jason.

‘Tomorrow morning we will reach Sootopolis.’ Jason told me.

‘Then let’s get to our bunks to get some sleep.’ Alicia said.

And so we did. We decided to take a snooze, seeing it was already getting late. I grabbed the egg out of my bag back, and I put it beside me.

‘Will all passengers please get off the boat, we have arrived to Sootopolis.’ The speakers boomed.

We got up and left the boat. We where wondering how we got to sign up for the Pokémon league now.

‘Let’s go to the Pokémon centre. According to my brother we have to sign up there.’ Jason said.

So we walked to the Pokémon centre. We opened the door, and saw a nurse with pink hairs waiting.

‘Hello, you must be here to sign up for the Hoenn league right?’ She asked us.

‘Is it that obvious? Yes, that’s why we’re here.’ I said to her.

‘Okay, your name and age please?’ She asked.

‘Brad Beatum, 13 years.’ I replied to her.

‘Okay, all I need now is where you where born, where you want your caught Pokémon to be send to, and the Pokémon who are currently with you.’ She asked.

‘Uh….what’s the question again?’ I asked embarrassed

‘Don’t be ashamed. I’ll give you and your two friends a form, where you can hand it in relaxed.’ She said laughing.

We took the forms and started writing. I was done last.

‘Oh-oh, There’s a problem.’ She said.

‘What is it then?’ I asked her.

‘You three have to strong starters, it could get dangerous for yourself and others, if you can’t handle it. I’ll have to send them to the Dragon Master in Blackthorn City.’ She said.

‘But this is my only Pokémon! All I have left is this egg!’ I yelled.

‘Don’t worry, you can stay here until your egg hatches. Then I will give you Pokéballs so you can catch other Pokémon.’ She said.

‘But Alicia and I won’t leave without you Brad.’ Jason said to me.

‘Don’t worry, I’ll catch up on you. Make sure to give me a call once in a while so I know where you are.’ I said to make him feel better.

Nurse Joy handed them both their Pokédex, and she said: ‘There’s a man from Kanto somewhere in this town who teaches Fearow’s to take passengers to Littleroot town. There Prof. Birch will explain how the Hoenn League system works, and then you can be on your way.’ Then we waved goodbye.

‘Let me take a look at that egg.’ Joy said to me.

I handed her over my egg. She took a look at it and said: ‘Don’t worry, I bet it will hatch in a couple of days. You just try catching other Pokémon until then.

[Chris 2.1]

its better than when you started. The dragons are going back? aww...nevermind. Does that include Trapinch? Its not technically a dragon ...

The egg sounds weird...i'm tryin 2 think what it'll hatch into! Red spot...green... Eutger way, its the egg, Gulpin and Corsola! Whee!

[Dragon_Claw]

ShinyMarill: yes, all the three starters go back to the Den. Probaply they'll make their come-back, but not so soon.

And here you have me thinking it would be to easy to guess what Pokémon hatches.

[Dragon_Claw]

In the last chapter you got to read how Brad had to stay at Sootopolis because he didn’t had a Pokémon. Brad convinced Alicia and Jason to go ahead, so now Brad is trying to catch Pokémon to go on his journey.

Chapter Four – Hanging around Sootopolis

‘I’m bored, Nurse Joy, can I help?’ I asked, on a sunny afternoon.

‘Sure, can you watch this Mankey for me?’ She asked me.

‘What’s a Mankey?’ I asked confused.

‘That’s a fighting type Pokémon from Kanto.’ She said.

‘Sure, why isn’t it’s trainer here?’ I asked, while looking at the pig monkey.

‘The trainer said he’d be back for it yesterday, but as a fighting Pokémon it needs some movement. Why don’t you take it outside, it could help you catching a Pokémon.’ She said while nursing a Baltoy.

‘Sure.’ I said while taking the Mankey.

The Mankey and I walked outside. Then we saw a little boy being locked in by three Poochyenas.

‘Mankey, Low Kick!’ I yelled, and the Mankey immediately listened. Because fighting types are strong against dark types, Mankey knocked them all out.

‘Pokéball, go!’ I yelled when throwing the Pokéball. The Pokéball shook three times, and then the ball went open. The Poochyena was free again.

‘Fury Swipes Mankey!’ Mankey did this, and the Poochyena wasn’t moving.

‘Pokéball, go!’ I yelled again. It shook three times, but this time, the red button became white.

‘Yes, I caught a Poochyena!’ I yelled excited. Mankey made some dance movements, and Mankey and I ran back to the Pokémon Centre.

‘Nurse Joy, I caught a Poochyena! Please heal him!’ I yelled.

‘Okay, Blissey, please bring to the nursing room. ER isn’t needed here.’ She said while smiling. ‘It’s gonna be fine Brad, you can count on it.’ And she walked further.

I grabbed a comb and started combing Monkey. It seemed like it was enjoying himself. I took the Mankey for a walk to the Pokémart. When we got there I bought Pokémon snacks and a blanket. I gave some food to Mankey, and wrapped the blanket around the egg. I walked back to the Pokémon Centre to pick up Poochyena.

‘Hi Brad. Good news! It appears your Poochyena is healthy again and very fit. I hope this doesn’t mean you’re going on your journey now.’ Nurse Joy told me, when handing me the Pokéball.

‘I probably should go on my way now, see if I can catch up with the rest.’ I told her.

‘Okay, but take this with you.’ She said to me

Nurse Joy handed me a Pokédex and 5 Pokéballs. I walked towards the door, but all of a sudden the door smacked open. I fell on the ground, and dropped the egg. Thank god somebody’s Ralts was able to keep it in the air with it’s psychic powers. I grabbed the egg and saw the person who pushed me.

‘Nurse Joy, please heal my Pokémon, and try not to get scars while doing so!’ The person said.

I took a better look and noticed it was a young girl with black hairs.

‘Immediately, Chansey, take this Pokémon to the ER!’ Nurse Joy said.

[Dragon_Claw]

Last time Brad caught a Poochyena, and when he was healing him in the Pokémon Centre, a girl accidentally pushed him on the ground, almost breaking his egg. Read now further about how he is reacting, just when he was about to go on his adventure again.

Chapter Five – The most beautiful Pokémon

‘Excuse me for throwing you on the ground and almost breaking your egg.’ The girl said to Brad.

‘Yes, it’s okay. But why are you in such a hurry?’ I asked her.

‘I was trying to catch a very pretty Beautifly but my Pokémon didn’t stand a chance and got defeated. I don’t want it’s fur ruined.’ She said.

‘Why would a ruined fur be a problem? My Poochyena is full of scars.’ I told her.

‘I’m a Pokémon Breeder. I let my Pokémon enter contests to win as many ribbons as possible. When I grow up I want to have a Breeding Centre where I let beautiful Pokémon make beautiful children.’ She answered.

‘Oh okay, I see.’ Brad said while thinking how sick this girl was.

‘Excuse me miss, but your Pokémon is healed.’ Nurse Joy said, while handing the girl a very cute Skitty.

‘Oh yeah nurse, here’s your Mankey back.’ I said to Nurse Joy while giving Mankey back.

‘By the way, My name is Rachel.’ The girl said to me.

‘Hi, I’m Brad.’ I said to her.

‘So you’re a Pokémon trainer? Can you help me catch that Beautifly?’ Rachel asked me.

‘Sure, I’d love to.’ I replied.

So Rachel and I went outside and we saw a massive amount of Pokémon, but Rachel only wanted one, and that was the Beautifly.

‘There, there it is!’ Rachel squealed.

‘Then let’s go get it!’ I yelled.

We ran after the Beautifly like two complete morons. Rachel grabbed a fishing net from her bag back, and looked like a even bigger idiot. However, she grabbed the Beautifly. The Beautifly was very angry, and I saw that it wanted to battle.

‘Go Poochyena!’ I yelled while throwing his Pokéball.

‘Poochyena, use your bite!’ I said to him, while he was running at Beautifly.

‘Try not to damage it!’ Rachel yelled.

‘This is very annoying, but whatever. Poochyena, tackle!’ I yelled at the little doggie.

The Beautifly fell back, and then stood up again. She was furious, and turning all red. Then the Beautifly started flying at Poochyena super fast.

‘Poochyena, this could knock you out. The second she is in front of you, jump up.’ I yelled at Poochyena. Poochyena jumped up, and Beautifly knocked into a rock. This time the butterfly Pokémon was knocked out.

‘Darn it, I’m out of Pokéballs!’ Rachel screamed from behind.

‘Don’t worry, I got five Pokéballs left!’ I said. I threw my Pokéball at Beautifly and the Pokéball wiggled a bit, but then the ball stopped.

‘Beautifly is caught! Oh my god, thank you Brad!!!’ Rachel screamed with her high-pitched voice, hugging me to death.

I handed her the Pokéball and said: ‘here you go!’ But then all a sudden my egg started shaking and I dropped it.

‘Damn, my egg!’ I yelled while it was falling. But when it hit the ground the egg broke, but instead of egg white and the egg yoke, a green Pokémon came out.

‘Oh my god! It is so cute!’ Rachel squealed while lifting up this Pokémon.

I pointed my Pokédex at the green Pokémon, and a Picture appeared. Then a voice said: ‘Treecko, a grass Pokémon. For a grass type Pokémon, this Pokémon is very agile. It has two evolutions.’

The Treecko then jumped away from Rachel, and started hugging me. I hugged it back for a few seconds, but then put it in a Pokéball. The Pokémon then immediately jumped out of the Pokéball, and tried sitting on my shoulder. But I simply called it back again.

‘I’m gonna go on my way again now. Maybe I can catch up with my friends again.’ I said to Rachel.

I turned around, and started walking. Then Rachel told me to stop. I looked at her, listening to what she had to say.

‘I’ve been thinking while you where catching the Beautifly for me. I now realise how bad I am in catching Pokémon, and I’d be completely hopeless if you haven’t caught the Beautifly for me. Do you mind if I travel with you, to learn more about catching Pokémon?’ She asked me.

‘Of course I don’t mind, but I’m a beginner myself too.’ I replied.

‘Great, then it’s settled, we’re travelling buddies!’ She said excited, and then we walked to the Fearow man.

[Dragon_Claw]

Chapter six – A unknown Pokémon

‘Where do you two want to go?’ The Fearow man said when we got there.

‘Littleroot Town, please.’ Rachel said.

‘Sure kiddos, climb on the Fearow’s neck.’ The man said.

That we did, and by a whistle by the man the Fearows got in the air.

‘Littleroot Town!’ The man yelled. The three Fearows then started flying.

‘Can I steer on this thing?’ I asked the man.

‘Sure sonny boy, just hang to the side you want to go.’ He replied.

‘Right! Let’s see if I can control this birdie!’ I said while steering to the right. I really enjoyed the ride. I saw a Taillow flying, so I let the Fearow fly near it.

‘Fearow, Drill Peck!’ I yelled. However, the Fearow did nothing and just kept flying, a bit confused because of this command.

‘What’s wrong with this Fearow?’ I asked the man.

‘Oh, he doesn’t know how to perform any attacks. It’s used to travel with people, and because of that he forgot his attacks.’ The Fearow man replied.

Five minutes later we arrived in Littleroot Town. Rachel and I thanked the man and his Fearow’s. I saw Rachel writing something in a little book.

‘What are you doing, Rach? I asked her.

‘I’ve never seen a Fearow, so I wrote about it. The fur and stuff, you know.’ She replied.

‘Oh okay, I guess. Let’s go to that Prof. Birch guy now.’ I said to her. She agreed, and we both got on our way to his house.

We walked in and saw a rather chubby guy with shorts, sandals and a lab coat sitting before a Pokémon. This sight made Rachel laughed, and because of that I felt uncomfortable.

‘Done!’ The professor said while jumping up.

‘Done with what?’ I asked him.

‘Studying this Pokémon!’ He said excited.

I pointed Dexter at the Pokémon, and a strange noise came out of it. Then electrical waves came over it, and it exploded.

‘Ouch!’ I yelled, while dropping the Pokédex. My hand was all black and there was blood dripping out of my hand.

‘Let me help you, kid!’ The professor said. He took me to his kitchen and cleaned my hand there.

‘By the way, my name is Prof. Birch.’ He said. ‘I’ll go get you a new Pokédex.’

He walked away, and Rachel walked over to the Pokémon sitting there. She grabbed her notebook, and started sketching.

‘I didn’t know you could draw.’ I said to her.

‘There’s a lot more you don’t know about me.’ She said while winking.

About five minutes later Prof. Birch came back embarrassed. He said: ‘I’m sorry kiddo, I don’t have any Pokédex left. I’ll order them right away, so I’ll receive them over a week.’

‘So I have to stay here for a week?!’ I yelled.

‘It depends, I’m sure you can last a week without a Pokédex.’ He said.

‘I hope so, but it’s going to be hard!’ I said.

‘Then take this Pokémon, this should help you a little bit.’ Prof. Birch said while handing over the Pokémon he just finished studying.

‘Sure, but what kind of Pokémon is it?’ I asked him.

‘It’s a fire Pokémon from Johto. The professor there, Prof. Elm, gave that to beginning trainers in New Bark Town. It’s called a Cindaquil. If flames come out of it’s back, it can perform fire attacks.’ He explained.

‘Cool, it’s so cute!’ Rachel giggled.

Prof. Elm called the Pokémon back in it’s ball, and then gave it to me. Then all of a sudden a kid came running in.

‘Prof. Birch, I just heard you where finished studying Cindaquil! Can I have it now?’ He yelled.

‘I’m sorry Tyson, I gave it to this boy because his Pokédex exploded.’ Prof. Birch explained.

The boy obviously named Tyson looked at me and said: ‘Fine, want to battle?’

I said: ‘Sure, are you experienced?’

‘Yeah, I am the current Champion!’ He said.

Prof. Birch shook his head and said: ‘No he isn’t, I gave him his Pokémon yesterday.’

‘Why do you have to spoil it all?’ He said angry.

‘Oh, then I’ll use Treecko! Treecko, ready for your first battle?’ I asked Treecko, while throwing his ball on the ground.

Treecko nodded, and looked at Tyson with a big smile.

‘Think you’re pretty tough? Ghastly, go!’ Tyson threw a purple Pokéball, and it revealed Ghastly.

‘Treecko, tackle!’ I yelled. Treecko jumped at Ghastly, but went right threw it!

‘Damn, what’s this?!’ I yelled.

Tyson laughed and said: ‘Ghastly is a Ghost type. Ghost types aren’t affected by Normal type attacks. Ghastly, lick!’ Ghastly flew at Treecko, and licked it in the face.

‘Treecko, try Absorb!’ I yelled, seeing that Treecko had a problem defeating his ghostly opponent, Ghastly. But Treecko just stood there, doing nothing.

‘Darn, paralyzed.’ I said. ‘Treecko, just try to move!’

‘Ghastly, finish it off with Shadow Ball!’ Tyson grinned.

‘Treecko, jump up!’ I yelled. And just before the Shadow Ball was about to hit Treecko, Treecko jumped up. Treecko managed to dodge the Shadow Ball. I then looked at the gas Pokémon, and saw it was very tired.

‘I see you taught Ghastly the TM Shadow Ball Tyson. You should know he’s not powerful enough to perform this attack even twice!’ Prof. Birch said.

‘You heard that Treecko, use Absorb to finish it off!’ I yelled at Treecko. Treecko inhaled deeply and drained the life out of Ghastly. This gave Treecko more life, and made Ghastly faint.

‘Ghastly, come back!’ Tyson said disappointed.

‘High five, Treecko!’ I yelled at Treecko. After High fiving Treecko I called him back, but he jumped out of his ball again. I called him back again, but he just jumped right out again. I threw his ball at him again, but he punched the ball back.

‘Now why do you do that?’ Prof. Birch asked me.

‘Do what? He’s not listening, Pokémon belong in their Pokéballs.’ I said, throwing my Pokéball again.

‘My theory is that Treecko is too young, and needs to be with you out of it’s ball.’ Prof. Birch replied.

‘Yeah but…’ I tried explaining, but Prof. Birch butted right in.

‘If you’re that kind of a trainer, I don’t want you to have Cindaquil, seeing he’s young too.’

‘Okay, Professor.’ I said. Tyson walked up to me with his hand at me. I shook his hand.

‘From now on, we’re officially rivals. What’s your name?’ He said while grinning.

‘Brad.’ I replied.

‘We better get going now.’ Rachel said.

I nodded and with Rachel and Treecko on my shoulder we left the small town called Littleroot town.

Seeing it's about time now to post some 'fillers' now, can any of you readers (if there are readers) please PM some info about themself in their own fic (or imagination) so I can use you in my fic? Thanks in advance. P.S. I would love to get some more responds, compliments or some critique (sp)

[Dragon_Claw]

Chapter Seven – The first TM

‘Are we there yet?’ Rachel asked me.

‘Almost.’ I replied.

‘By the way, where are we going?!’ Rachel snapped.

‘Oldale Town.’ I replied.

‘And what are we going to do there?’ She asked. She was getting pretty annoying.

‘Check if there is a Gym there. And buy some Pokéballs and Potions.’ I said, not caring about her whining.

‘Okay, but let’s hurry.’ She mumbled.

***

Five minutes later we got there. It was a very tiny town, not much bigger then Littleroot Town.

‘Excuse me sir, what can you find in Oldale Town?’ I asked a passing guy.

‘A Pokémon Centre, a Pokémart and a couple of houses.’ The man said before walking away.

‘Why couldn’t we have stayed in Slateport?’ Rachel asked me.

‘Simple, then I wouldn’t received this cool fire Pokémon!’ I yelled happy.

‘I could have easily given you a Pokémon.’ She replied careless.

‘You told me you only had Skitty, that’s why I caught Beautifly.’ I said confused.

‘Yeah I know. I simply lied.’ She grinned.

‘What?! Then what Pokémon do you have left?’ I asked.

‘Let’s see. Uh…Skitty, Beautifly and Bellossom.’ She said embarrassed.

‘Grrr, pretty good Pokés.’ I mumbled.

‘Well, I’m off to the Pokémon Centre, I think I’m gonna wash my Skitty.’ Rachel said to me, ignoring my mumbling.

‘You and Skittys fur always. I’m gonna go get some Pokéballs and Potions.’ I’ll come back when I’m done.’ I said, while walking towards the Pokémart.’

***

‘Can I help you?’ A friendly looking man from behind the counter asked me.

‘Yes, Can I have uh…six Pokéballs and five Potions?’ I asked the man.

‘Only if you plan paying for them.’ He smiled, while handing me the items.

I gave her the money, but my eye caught a strange poster. I asked: Excuse me sir, but what does the poster say?’

‘Oh, it’s a special offer. It’s a belt with six Pokéball holders.’ He replied, while working with the cash-register.

‘Cool, may I please have one?’ I asked, while grabbing the money from my wallet again.

‘You don’t understand, you don’t have to pay. When buying five Pokéballs and five Potions you get it for free.’ He replied, and handed me the belt.

I put the belt around my waist and I grabbed the Pokéballs belonging to Cindaquil, Treecko and Poochyena and three empty ones, and put it in the belt.

‘Looking good.’ The man said, and then she smiled.

‘Thanks, I agree.’ I said laughing while walking out the door.’

***

I walked back outside, and then walked towards the Pokemon Centre. When I entered I saw Rachel washing her Skitty. Skitty constantly tried to play with the water, but Rachel kept Skitty down. I saw Skitty became sad of this. Then all of a sudden a hand was put on my shoulder.

‘Do you wish to wash your own Pokémon too?’ I looked behind me and I saw Nurse Joy.

‘Nurse Joy! Long time no see!’ I said.

‘What? Where did I meet you?’ She asked.

‘Sootopolis, remember?’ I asked confused. How could she forget that.

‘Oh, you must be talking about my sister. See, we Nurse Joy all look the same and we work all in Pokécentres. That goes the same for Officer Jennies. And the salesman in the Pokémart, Sam, all look the same, and are in every city and town.’ Nurse Joy explained.

‘Salesman Sam.’ I snickered.

‘Yes, but do you wish to wash a Pokémon?’ Nurse Joy asked me while smiling.

‘Sure, and who it’s gonna be isn’t a hard choise, seeing only one of my Pokémon has fur.’ I said while throwing Poochyena’s Pokéball on the ground.

‘Pooch…Poochy..ena!’ Poochyena smiled.

***

‘Do you like this Poochyena?’ I asked Poochyena while putting shampoo in his fur. Poochyena smiled.

‘Stop it Skitty, quit being such a pest!’ Rachel yelled at Skitty. Skitty was trying to escape the water. Skitty then got pushed against Rachel, and out of Rachel’s pocket a strange card fell.

‘Hey Rach, what’s that?’ I asked, pointing at the silver-coloured card.

‘That’s a TM. It learns a certain attack to a Pokémon.’ She replied, trying to push Skitty in the water again.

‘Why haven’t you taught it to your Pokémon then?’ I asked.

‘First of all, I don’t know how it works. Second, I’m not into battling. You take it if you want.’ She replied again.

I grabbed the silver card and noticed there was writing on it. It said: ‘TM 23 – Iron Tail.’ Then I put the card in my pocket.

***

‘Finished! How about you?’ I asked Rachel.

‘Yes me too. Let’s go now.’ She replied.

‘No wait a minute. I have to go and ask about the TM.’ I said while walking towards Nurse Joy.

‘Nurse Joy, can you explain me how to use a TM?’ I asked her.

She laughed and said: ‘Sure. TMs are moves in a card, that you can teach to Pokémon if they do not learn the move by themselves. However, you can only use a TM on one Pokémon. A TM is silver coloured. Then you have a HM. No Pokémon learns a HM by themselves. A HM is gold coloured, and can used as much as you want.’

‘Okay, thanks, but how do I teach it to my Pokémon?’ I asked her.

She took a deep breath and said: ‘See this black square? Put your Pokémon’s paw on it. If the black square turns green, it can learn the attack. If it turns red, that Pokémon’s specie can’t learn the attack. Then you have this machine to learn it. Attach this wire to your Pokémon’s head, and put the card in the empty space in the machine. Press the blue button, and the Pokémon will turn completely black if it’s working. After he learns the attack, he will turn back to his original colour.’

‘Okay, let’s see if it works!’ I yelled excited. I called Treecko out of it’s Pokéball, and I put his paw on the card. The square turned green, so I attached Treecko to the wires of the machine. Then I put the card in the opening, and pressed the blue button. Treecko turned black. That lasted five seconds, and then he got his original colours. Then we heard a loud beep, and on the machine appeared in red letters: ‘Iron Tail Learned.’

‘Ready?’ Rachel asked.

‘Yes, let’s go to the next city now.’ I replied.

‘And do you know what city that is?’ She asked sarcastic.

‘Sure. Petalburg City. And it gets better, there is a Normal type Gym Located there.’ I said.

***

We said goodbye to Nurse Joy, and I put Treecko on my shoulder. Together we walked towards Petalburg City.

[Dragon_Claw]

Dark Templar 8: Thanks for the compliment. But I disagree that his Pokémon are to good, seeing they're fairly low leveled.

Anyhow, here's the new chapter, starring sky:

Chapter Eight – Pokémon thievery!

‘Wow, it’s like so pretty here!’ Rachel squealed.

‘You’re right, but let’s go to Petalburg City now. Route 102 is getting boring.’ I said annoyed.

‘Ai….pom!’ a purple little monkey said.

‘Awww…how cute! Plus it’s fur is very well groomed. I’m going to catch him!’ She yelled.

The Aipom turned around, and then ran off.

‘Hahahahaha! It doesn’t have any hairs on its butt!’ I laughed, but I got smacked by Rachel.

‘Knock it off, and let’s go get him!’ She said angry.

We walked after it, and then we saw it sitting on the ground.

‘Hey looks, it has a brown bag with him! That’s super duper cute! Beautifly go!’ Rachel yelled, while throwing Beautifly’s Pokéball.

The Aipom caught the Pokéball with his hand-shaped tail, and put the Pokéball in his brown bag.

‘Argh! Beautifly!’ Rachel yelled, and then she ran after the monkey Pokémon.

‘I’ll take care of this! Cindaquil, I choose you!’ I yelled while throwing Cindaquil’s Pokéball in the air.

Then a Delibird jumped out of a tree, and grabbed Cindaquil’s Pokéball. The delivery Pokémon put the Pokéball in his white bag.

‘Damnit, what’s going on here?!’ I yelled angry.

Rachel and I kept on running, until we saw the Aipom and Delibird robbing somebody else. We tried to catch the two thief Pokémon, but we lost them.

***

‘So, they robbed you too?’ Rachel asked the new victim.

‘Damnit, that’s what it looked like, huh?’ He replied yelling.

‘Hey guy, don’t talk to me like that!’ Rachel snapped.

‘Easy Rach, he just lost a Pokémon of his.’ I said, trying to calm her down.

‘Not just A Pokémon, but five out of six!’ He replied.

‘We’ll help you find your Pokémon back, they stole our Pokémon too.’ I said to him.

‘Great, thanks. My name’s Sky.’ He said.

I looked at him, noticing his strange appearance. White T-shirt, blue jeans, red vast, and grey hairs. Grey wavy hairs. Thank good Alicia isn’t here, she’s try to give him a make-over, right here, right now.

‘Hey, my name’s Brad, nice to meet you.’ I said, shaking his hand.

‘And I’m Rachel. By the way, which Pokémon do you have left?’ She asked him.

‘Pidgeotto.’ He replied.

‘Tell your Pidgeotto to go and look for them then.’ I said.

‘Well duh shorty, I was going to do that!’ He told me with a attitude from here to Kanto. ‘Pidgeotto, go and look for a Aipom and a Delibird!’ He yelled at the bird-Pokémon, which flew off immediately.

‘Let’s not just stand here, let’s go search for ourselves!’ Rachel said.

‘Right. Good thinking! Poochyena, come out. Try to find the scent of Aipom and Delibird!’ I said. Poochyena jumped out, and started searching.

***

Then five minutes later Poochyena started barking, and Pidgeotto came back. Pidgeotto made a very annoying sound.

‘He wants us to follow him.’ Sky said.

‘How do you know that? Can you talk Pokémon language or something? I asked Sky confused.

‘Oh, can’t you think? We have a strong friendship, we understand eachother, even without talking, duh!’ Sky replied.

‘Yeah, and the Pidgeotto is doing that ‘follow me’ thingy with his wings.’ Rachel whipered in my ear. We both started laughing, and that annoyed Sky.

‘But let’s go now! I want my Pokémon back!’ Sky yelled.

‘Right.’ Rachel and I agreed, and we all ran after Pidgeotto and Poochyena.

***

After two minutes we saw Aipom and Delibird standing, both with a big grin on their faces in the middle of the road.. The three of us ran at them, but then the ground fell away, and we lay in a big pit.

‘Damnit, we almost had them!’ Sky yelled.

‘Yeah, now I’ll never see my Cindaquil again.’ I sighed.

‘Yeah, and I’ll never see my Beautifly again. But who digged this pit?’ Rachel asked.

‘Who cares, probably some damn Sandshrews!’ Sky yelled.

Then we heard two people laughing.

‘You think this is funny?!’ Sky yelled at them.

‘Who are you guys? Show yourself!’ I yelled.

***

‘Making the region of Hoenn unsafe.’ A male voice said.

‘From the biggest city to the tiniest cave.’ A female voice said.

‘Stealing Pokémon is our occupation.’ The male said again.

‘We steal so much, no time for vacation. The female said.

‘Alex!’ The male voice said.

‘Lisa!’ The female voice said.

‘Team Aqua here for widening the seven seas.’ The male said.

‘More dangerous then thousands of bees!’ The female said.

***

We all started laughing because of their ridiculous yell, and that made them mad.

‘Introducing Alex and Lisa, members of Team Aqua!’ The man, apparently Alex, said.

We stopped laughing, and I yelled: ‘Give us our Pokémon back, thieves!’

‘For you? Never!’ Lisa yelled. ‘Aipom, attack!’

‘You too Delibird!’ Alex yelled.

The two Pokémon handed their bags to Alex and Lisa, and they stepped towards the pit.

‘Sky, give me a boost! I’ll handle this!’ I said to Sky.

Sky gave me and Poochyena a boost, and Treecko jumped out of his Pokéball.

‘Ready guys? Let’s begin!’ I yelled.

***

‘Treecko, use your Absorb on Aipom. Poochyena, you do your Bite on Delibird!’ I yelled at my two attacking Pokémon.

Aipom jumped over Treecko, so Treecko’s Absorb missed. However, Treecko managed to grab Aipom by it’s tail. Poochyena’s Bite hit, and it was a Critical Hit! Delibird got up and ran at Treecko.

‘Delibird, Powder Snow!’ Alex yelled at his Penguin Pokémon.

‘Be careful fool, or you’ll hit Aipom!’ Lisa said to him.

‘Treecko, swing Aipom against Delibird! If Delibird’s Ice attack hits you, you don’t stand a chance! Poochyena, Take-Down attack against the two of them!’ I yelled.

Treecko started swimming Aipom, and then let it go. The monkey banged against Delibird, and they both where lauched at Poochyena. Poochyena then performed his Take-Down against the two Pokémon, and Aipom and Delibird got shot against Lisa and Alex.

‘Come back!’ Lisa and Alex said, recalling their Pokémon. They threw two other Pokéballs. Alex’ Pokéball contained Nidorino, and Lisa’s Pokéball contained Nidorina.

‘Poochyena, Take-Down!’ I yelled. Poochyena ran at Nidorina and Nidorino, but he got bashed back really hard. Poochyena fell back, and walked towards me. He then went back in his Pokéball.

‘What are you doing Poochyena?! Come back, we don’t want any cowards!’ I yelled, but Poochyena didn’t come out.

‘I’ll handle this! Pidgeotto, Sky Attack.’ Sky yelled. Pidgeotto flew at Nidorino and Nidorina, and knocked them both out. Pidgeotto then flew right before Alex and Lisa, and grabbed both bags.

‘Here you guys!’ Sky said while throwing Rachel and me our Pokéballs. ‘Scizor, I choose you!’ Sky threw a Pokéball on the ground, and Scizor came out. ‘Scizor, Metal Claw!’ Sky yelled.

Scizor ran at Alex and Lisa, and they passed out. ‘Scizor, never mind!’ Sky yelled, calling back Scizor.

‘So…uh…what do we do now?’ I asked.

‘I have a idea!’ Rachel yelled

we dragged Alex and Lisa and Nidorina and Nidorino in the bushes, and walked off, after saying goodbye to Sky, we walked off, and entered Petalburg City.

[Shadow Djinn]

[Dragon_Claw]

swinubman: Thanks for the compliment. I'll write you in a story soon, I didn't do it today because I already finished writing it before you posted.

Well, here it goes:

Chapter Nine – A howling farewell

‘I’m going.’ Rachel said, while standing in front of the gym.

‘Going? Going where?’ I asked.

‘Pokémon centre of course!’ She laughed, and walked off.

‘Treeck….Treecko!!!’ Treecko yelled excited.

‘Yeah, it is exciting!’ I said to him.

We entered the gym, and saw a man standing.

He said: ‘Good day, Champion in making! Norman, Petalburg’s Gym Leader, battles with his normal types. Normal types are fairly weak against Psychic, and very weak against Fighting.’

‘Okay I guess, and who are you?’ I asked him, with a confused Treecko on my shoulder.

‘Sorry that I didn’t introduce me. I’m Trainer fan Toby. You will find me and my family in every Gym giving the challengers advice about the Gym Leader.’ Toby said.

‘Oh well, thanks for the advice. I’m gonna get my first badge now.’ I said while walking further.

I saw a young man sitting, combing a very big Pokémon. The Pokémon was fat with brown fur. The guy stood up and said: ‘Hello, my name is Norman. I battle with normal type Pokémon, and teach children in this Gym.’

I replied: ‘My name is Brad and I’m from Blackthorn in Johto. I’ve come a long way, and I wish to receive your badge, and for that, we shall battle.’

‘To the point, I like that! Let’s begin! Slaking, I choose you!’ Norman yelled.

‘Then I choose Cindaquil!’ I yelled while throwing Cindaquil’s Pokéball on the ground.

***

‘Not even consulting your Pokédex, huh? I guess I’ll have to be to the point too then! Slaking, Body Slam!’ Slaking stood up, and ran at Cindaquil.

‘Cindaquil, go threw his legs, then jump! Try to get your flame started!’ Cindaquil did this, and Slaking fell on the ground. Cindaquil got his fire started on his back, but to everybody’s amazing this wasn’t your regular fire.

‘What? Blue fire?’ I said confused.

‘Wow, a shiny Pokémon!’ Norman said.

I looked proud and said: ‘Yep, that’s my Cindaquil! Do your Flame Thrower!’ Cindaquil jumped up again, and did a Flame Thrower against Slaking, who was lying on the ground. Cindaquil yelled his name and then a giant blue flame came out of it’s mouth.

‘Slaa!’ Slaking yelled.

‘Whahaha! This isn’t a good levelled up Cindaquil, Brad.’ Norman laughed.

Cindaquil and I felt embarrassed, and all of a sudden Rachel ran in the building.

She came standing next to me and said: ‘Why are you battling with Cindaquil? He never fought a battle before in his life!’

‘For your information, Cindaquil is a she. And I thought that she might win this battle, seeing this is only the first gym.’ I replied.

‘Cindaquil, come back! Poochyena, go!’ I yelled while switching Pokémon.

‘Slaking, Mega Punch!’ Norman yelled.

‘Poochyena, quick attack!’ I yelled at Poochyena.

Poochyena jumped out of the way, but his hind legs got hit by Slaking. Poochyena got smacked against the wall, and started glowing.

‘What happening?’ I asked.

‘It’s evolving. Into Mightyena!’ Norman said.

‘Cool. Mightyena, Bite!’ I yelled at Mightyena when it was finished evolving.

‘Slaking, Bide!’ Norman yelled.

‘It’s standing still Mightyena, you’re too fast. Attack now!’ I yelled at Mightyena. Mightyena kept Biting Slaking, but then Slaking turned red and came running at Mightyena, and he bashed it. Mightyena was knocked out.

‘It’s time for your last Pokémon!’ Norman laughed.

I looked at Treecko who was standing beside me, and I saw the fear in it’s eyes. ‘I quit!’ I yelled.

‘Wise decision.’ Norman said.

‘But you sure are hard for a first Gym Leader. I heard the first Gym Leaders are easiest.’ I said.

‘What? First? I’m fifth. That’s why you lost. If you collect four badges, come back. Before that, I won’t battle you.’ Norman said.

‘Come on Brad.’ Rachel whispered.

***
‘Here you are. Your Pokémon are healed. Come again any time.’ Nurse Joy said, handing me Cindaquil’s and Mightyena’s Pokéballs.

‘Where are we going now?’ I asked Rachel.

‘Petalburg Woods!’ She replied.

We kept walking until we got there, but then something caught our eye. A girl and a group of Poochyenas where running away, and after that we saw a man with a Pinsir. We figured the man was running after the girl.

The girl ran at us and asked: ‘Please defeat that man, he’s a hunter after the skins of these Poochyenas.’

‘Don’t worry little girl. I’ll take care of this! Cindaquil, Go!’ I yelled.

‘Stay out of my way sonny boy, I don’t want to fight you!’ He said.

‘I know, but Cindaquil and I do! Cindaquil, Flame Thrower!’

Pinsir fainted and the man yelled: ‘I’ll get you Cindy!’ while running away.

‘Thank you. I’m Cindy. I protect these Poochyenas against the hunters here, especially that one.

‘Mightyena, go!’ I yelled while throwing Mighyena’s Pokéball on the ground.

‘Might….ena!’ Mightyena howled while seeing the scared Poochyenas. The Poochyena gathered around Mightyena, and immediately got cheered up.

‘Come to my house, and I’ll tell you more about it.’ Cindy said, and Rachel and I followed, with Mightyena and the Poochyenas following us.

***

‘So that’s my story.’ Cindy said after saying why she feels responsible for these Poochyenas.

‘That’s so cute!’ Rachel said.

‘Yeah, but I don’t think this is the last we’ve seen of that hunter and his Pinsir.’ She said.

‘Don’t worry, with Cindaquil and me, nothing will happen to the Poochyenas.’ I yelled happy.

‘Yeah, but I suppose you won’t be around forever.’ She said disappointed.

‘No, not really.’ I replied.

‘But don’t you have any Pokémon able to defend them?’ Rachel asked.

‘I do have Pokémon, but they’re not strong enough to face the Pinsir.’ She replied.

‘Well what Pokémon do you have then?’ I asked her.

‘Wait a minute, I’ll get my Pokéballs.’ She said, walking to a desk.

She came back with a Dive Ball, a Luxury Ball, and a Timer Ball. ‘Go, all three.’ She said.

The Dive Ball revealed a Krabby, the Luxury Ball a Chikorita, the Timer Ball a Ralts.

‘I don’t see what’s wrong with this Pokémon.’ I said petting the Chikorita.

‘Nothing really, but they’re low levelled and Chikorita and Ralts are weak against bug Pokémon such as Pinsir.’ She replied.

‘I see.’ Rachel said.

All of a sudden a red light started burning and making a terrible noise.

‘He’s back!’ Cindy yelled.

We ran outside, and Cindy’s Pokémon and Mightyena stayed outside with the Poochyenas. Then Pinsir and the hunter came out of bushes, and Pinsir had his horns around Cindy.

‘Bring the Poochyenas here! Or you’ll get it!’ He yelled at Cindy.

‘Easy, I’ll bring them here.’ I said. I walked inside, but when I got there, I threw Cindaquil out of it’s Pokéball. I told Cindaquil to go threw the back door to Pinsir on Mightyena’s back, while I brought the Poochyenas back.

‘Here they are.’ I said, with the Poochyenas following me.

‘Good! Pinsir? Pinsir? Pinsir, where are you?’ He said.

We looked at Pinsir and he already dropped Cindy, and was battling Cindaquil and Mightyena.

‘Treecko! Pound!’ I yelled at Treecko. Treecko Pounded the hunter, and he fell back, unconscious.

‘Thanks.’ Cindy said.

I looked at Mightyena, and noticed something about him.

‘You want to stay here, huh?’ I asked him. He nodded, and I petted him. ‘Cindy, Mightyena wants to stay here, and I think it’s okey.’

She looked gratefully at me, but said: ‘But that’ll cost you a Pokémon, and Mightyena is your strongest Pokémon.’

‘I know, but the safety of the Poochyenas goes first.’ I replied sad.

‘Here, take Krabby and Chikorita. Don’t expect much, they’re both level five.’ She said, handing me her Dive Ball and Luxury Ball.

‘Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of them.’ I said, smiling.

‘Go that way, that’s the way out of Petalburg Woods.’ She said while pointing North.

‘Then we’ll go that direction!’ Rachel said, before walking off.

I was sad because I lost my only strong Pokémon, but with two new Pokémon, I was kind of happy anyway.

I'm sorry I got the super-overused Pokémon Chikorita, but It's just that Treecko doesn't have good Grass moves, It's more of a mascot then a fighter. Please don't stop reading my fic

Chapter Ten – A pig’s life

‘What’s that?’ Rachel asked.

‘What’s what?’ I replied.

‘That, something is lying there on the ground.’ She said nervous.

‘I don’t know, let’s go check it out!’ I yelled excited.

When we got there, we saw a boy on the floor. He wasn’t moving, and his bag back lay down next to him.

‘Aack! Is he dead?’ Rachel asked me.

‘How the hell should I know?’ I yelled.

‘Check his heart beating!’ Rachel screamed.

‘I’m not touching that thing!’ I yelled back at her, totally freaked out.

Then all of a sudden Krabby came out of his Dive Ball, and walked towards the young boy.

‘Krabby…what are you doing?’ I asked him.

Krabby was doing something that almost seemed like a laugh, and then he pinched the boy in the arm. The boy came back up, screaming.

***

‘Krabby come back!’ I said, returning Krabby to his Dive Ball.

‘Who did that? Where are we?’ The boy asked.

‘His Krabby did this, and we are on route 104.’ Rachel said.

The boy grabbed his bag back and sighed. He said: ‘Hi, I’m Sean, and I train pig Pokémon. I just love pigs.’

‘Yeah, I can see that just by looking at your shirt.’ I replied.

It was true, he had pig Pokémon on his shirt and pants. Only it was hard to see, because he was covered in dirt. That figured, seeing he had been lying down on the ground.

***

‘Wow, I’m starving.’ Sean said. ‘Can we go somewhere to eat?’

‘The Pokémon Centre is a pretty end away from here, but we have some food with us.’ Rachel said.

‘Great! What do you guys have?’ Sean asked.

I grabbed my bag back and said: ‘ham sandwich and a melon.’

‘What?! Ham Sandwich?!’ He yelled.

‘I’m sorry, you can have the melon.’ I said.

‘But how are we going to cut it, Einstein?’ Rachel asked me.

Sean grabbed a giant pointy rock, but Rachel and I stopped him.

‘Let me, I have an idea. Chikorita go!’ I yelled while letting Chikorita out of her Luxury Ball. ‘Chikorita, use Leaf Blade to cut the melon in half.’ Chikorita did that.

Sean grabbed one half and started eating like there was no tomorrow.

‘Wow, he likes pigs and he eats like one. What a coincidence.’ Rachel whispered in my ear.

When he was done I asked him: ‘Ready for a battle?’

‘Behave Brad, he just recovered!’ Rachel yelled at me.

‘No, It’s okay, I’ll fight him.’ Sean said.

***
‘Then I choose Chikorita.’ I said, because Chikorita was still outside her Luxury Ball.

‘A grass type. In that case I’ll use my Ice type, Piloswine! Piloswine, come out!’ Sean yelled while throwing a Pokéball on the ground. However, the Pokéball turned out to be empty.

‘Huh? Oh no, Piloswine is gone. I bet he’s gone off somewhere in search for food.’ Sean said.

‘Then don’t worry, let’s split up and look for him.’ Rachel said.

‘A great plan, let’s do that!’ I yelled excited. ‘Come on, Chikorita. Cindaquil, Krabby, let’s search Piloswine. You too Treecko?’ I asked the Treecko was sitting on my shoulder.

‘Yeah, let’s use our Pokémon.’ Sean said.

Sean and Rachel both let out their Pokémon. Rachel her Bellossom, Beautifly and Skitty, and Sean his Grumpig, Primeape and Azumarill. Then we all started looking for ourselves.

***

Cindaquil, Krabby, Chikorita, Treecko and I where all looking, but all of a sudden we heard a chirping noise.

‘Wing….Wing’ The noise sounded.

We walked towards the sound, and saw a Wingull on the ground. It was hurt.

‘Krabby, Bubble!’ I yelled. Krabby did this, and the Wingull fainted. ‘Pokéball, go!’ I yelled while throwing my Pokéball.

The Pokéball started shaking, but the Wingull was caught. I congratulated Krabby, and we started looking again. Then we heard some noise, and we ran at it. We saw Piloswine running away, and we traced it. It was to fast however, and we lost him.

***

After another five more minutes we still couldn’t find it anywhere. I decided to let Wingull out of it’s Pokéball, so it could help me search from above.

‘Wing…ull!!!’ I yelled when I threw his Pokéball on the ground. Apparently Wingull was recovered.

‘Wingull, go threw the air and try to find Piloswine.’ I said to Wingull. Wingull took off immediately.

‘Wow, this is a hell of a Wingull. Normally a freshly caught Pokémon wouldn’t listen, but this Pokémon listens better then Treecko sometimes.

***

‘EEK!’ I then heard. I ran towards the scream, and I saw a little girl standing.

‘Excuse me, what is the problem?’ I asked her.

‘Are you blind?! That thing is searching threw my bag! Get it away!’ She screamed.

I then saw Piloswine sniffing in the girl’s bag back. ‘Guys, attack!’ I yelled at my Pokémon.

They all ran at Piloswine, and Piloswine tried defending himself against Chikorita, Cindaquil, Treecko and Krabby.

‘Chikorita, hold it down with Vine Whip. Then Cindaquil uses his Flamethrower, so try to get your vines away then Chikorita. Treecko, Iron Tail and Krabby Bubblebeam.’ I yelled at them. They all did this, and the last attack was fatal and made Piloswine faint.

‘Guys, come back!’ I yelled while putting Krabby in his Dive Ball, Chikorita in her Luxury Ball, and Cindaquil in his Ember Ball. Treecko jumped on my shoulder again. I picked up Piloswine, and the girl thanked me. She handed me a silver card, a TM.

‘Sean, here is your Piloswine!’ I yelled. Sean was there searching and he grabbed Piloswine’s Pokéball and returned Piloswine. I looked at the TM and noticed it was Bullet Seed.

Sean and I looked for Rachel, and when we found her we walked back to where Sean was when we first found him.

‘Brad and I are going to Rustboro City, will you join us?’ Rachel asked Sean.

‘No, I think Piloswine and I need more time bonding, so I’ll stay here.’ Sean replied.

‘Okay, take care then!’ I said, shaking his hand.

‘And about the battle, I’ll take a rain check.’ Sean said.

‘Finally, we’re here!’ Rachel squealed when we arrived in Rustboro.

‘Hey, wait a minute!’ I yelled.

‘What’s wrong Brad?’ Rachel asked me.

‘Well, I caught a Wingull, and told him to search for Piloswine. Only it still didn’t return.’ I said.

And just when I finished the sentence, I got soaking wet, all of a sudden. I looked up, and saw Wingull flying, back to Petalburg Woods.

‘Well, I guess it’s not as obedient as I thought.’ I said, and Rachel and I laughed.

[Swinubman53]

Chapter Eleven - The hard-rock trainer

'Are you sure you're ready?' Rachel asked me.

'As ready as possible. I've been living my life to this moment!' I replied.

'I thought you lived your life to a wife and children.' She laughed.

'Haha, a bit early, don't you think?' I said sarcastic.

***

'Hello, trainer fan Toby, got any tips for us?' I asked trainer fan Toby, who was standing outside the gym.

'Yes. The leader Roxanne, uses rock type Pokémon. Electric attacks don't work, and Normal attacks are not very effectife. That goes the same for Fire. Water and Grass types are a advantage.' He said.

'You study that or something?' Rachel asked him.

'Well, you kinda know the lines after saying this to every trainer.' Toby said embarresed.

***

We walked inside the gym, and when we entered, I saw many boulders on the floor. We walked further, and then Roxanne was standing there.

'Please, one opponent at a time.' She said.

'No, I'm just here to cheer for him.' Rachel said.

'Are you a teacher or something, cuz you sound like one.' I asked her.

'Yes. Yes I am. And I assume you must be my challenger. What about ten minutes a round tops, and each two Pokémon. Sounds fair, no?' She asked.

'Fair enough.' I said. 'Krabby, I choose you!'

'A water Pokémon? You know your type advantage. Geodude, go!' Roxanne yelled, called out a rock with arms, floating around.

***

'Geodude, Tackle!' Roxanne yelled.

'Krabby, Harden!' I commanded.

Geodude came at Krabby with a speed, but got bounced back by Harden. The two Pokémon looked at eachother, and you could see the fire burn in Krabby's eyes.

'Krabby, Bubble!' I yelled.

'Geodude, watch out! Dodge it!' Roxanne yelled. Geodude tried to dodge, but got hit really hard.

'Yes Krabby, the first round is in our pocket.' I yelled, and Krabby was cheering.

'Don't be so sure of that! Geodude, Self Destruct!' Roxanne laughed. Geodude let himself explode, and Krabby got hit. When the smoke cleared, both Pokémon where fainted.

'First round is tie! Trainers, call back your Pokémon, and choose your last Pokémon for round 2!' The referee yelled.

I grabbed Krabby's Dive Ball and yelled: 'Krabby, you did okay, come back!'

***

'Go, Nosepass!' Roxanne yelled while throwing a Heavy Ball on the ground. The Heavy Ball reveiled a Pokémon looking like a stone head with two feet and a big orange nose.

'That's hilarious!' Rachel laughed.

'Which one should I take? Treecko is my starter, and would enjoy the battle. But Chikorita is just a bit stronger, but knows better moves.' I thought.

'Hurry up, we don't have all day. The ten minutes won't start until you threw your Pokéball.' Roxanne yelled at me impatiant.

'Okay, here we go! I choose, Chikorita!' I yelled, while throwing Chikorita's Luxury Ball in the air!

'Rock & Roll Chikorita!' Rachel yelled.

'Nosepass, Tackle!' Roxanne yelled.

'Chikorita, grab Nosepass by his feet with your Vine Whip, and toss him around.' I yelled at Chikorita.

'Don't be such a stoner, Nosepass!' Rachel yelled from behind.

Nosepass ran at Chikorita, but Chikorita grabbed him with her Vine Whip and tossed him back.

'Nosepass, try your Bide!' Roxanne yelled at the Nosepass who was struggling to get back up. Nosepass was standing still and started to glow red.

'He's not moving, just like a rock.' Rachel yelled again.

'Enough with the bad rock puns!' Roxanne yelled irritated, and Rachel and I laughed.

'I've heard about this attack Chikorita. Don't do any damage to Nosepass until it stops being red!' I yelled.

'Darnit, most trainers don't know what Bide is!' Roxanne yelled.

'Sheesh, what a language for a teacher!' I laughed.

Nosepass stopped being red, and Roxanne yelled: 'Nosepass, Double-Edge!'

'Chikorita, Dodge!' I yelled at Chikorita.

Chikorita managed to dodge Double-Edge, but one of her hind legs got hit, so Chikorita couldn't walk anymore. But Nosepass went so fast that he bashed threw the door. The door was broken, and I saw a boy walking. The boy seemed awefully familliar.

'Jason!' I thought. 'Rachel, please tell that boy to come here!' I asked Rachel.

'Please no, I'm much too shy!' She said, blushing.

'Okay Treecko, pretend to be wild, attack him and then come back here, try to let him follow you.' I asked Treecko, who was sitting on my shoulder. Treecko jumped off and ran outside.

'Cheeko!!!' I heard. I looked and saw that Nosepass was storming at Chikorita again.

'Chikorita, Bullet Seed!' I yelled. Chikorita's dots on her neck started glowing white, and then they all shot at Nosepass. They where hitting Nosepass so hard, he fainted.

'I didn't know Chikorita knew Bullet Seed.' Rachel said to me.

'I let Chikorita learn it using the TM this morning.' I told her while jumping up and down.

'Nice battle!' I heard somebody saying. I turned back and saw Jason with my Treecko, and his Gulpin.

I smiled, at ran at Chikorita and picked her up. I walked towards Roxanne.

'You have showed that you're worthy enough to have my badge. It's called the Stone Badge, it's the first of the eight badges. Also, take this TM. This TM card had a 39 on it. It also said 'Rock Tomb.'

'What kind of move is it?' I asked her.

'It's a Rock type move. Your Pokémon throws rocks around the opponent. Then the rocks shatter sending millions of tiny pieces towards your opponent. Being stuck between rocks also lowers their speed.' She said.

'Wow, thanks!' I yelled excited.

'I did it! I did it!' I yelled at Jason and Rachel.

'I know, but first, take your Chikorita to the Pokémon Centre. Then we can talk about what has happened in the past week.' Jason said to me.

[Dragon_Claw]

Chapter Twelve - Friend reunited

'So you and Alicia parted?', I asked Jason, after hearing his story.

'Yeah, she didn't want to wait any longer for you. did I tell you what Pokémon she has now?', he asked me.

'No. Not yet.' I replied.

'She traded her Corsola for a Kirlia, she caught a Linoone, and somehow she got Trapinch back.', Jason told me.

'She got Trapinch back? How?', I asked.

'I don't know, she called me yesterday. She also said she was on her way to her third badge. She is unstoppable.', Jason explained.

'But how are you doing Jase?', I asked him.

'Pretty fine. I have one badge, a Seedot, a Makuhita, a Meditite and good ol' Gulpin. How bout you?', he said.

'I have one badge too, a Krabby, Chikorita, Cindaquil and Treecko,' I told him.

'But who is this Alicia person?' Rachel asked.

'Alicia and Jason where both in my class back in Blackthorn. Jason and her where always fighting,' I explained to Alicia.

'Oh okay. Let's get going now,' Rachel asked.

'Wait a second, lemme ask Nurse Joy how Chikorita is doing,' I told Jason and Rachel.

'Don't worry Brad, Chikorita is fine. Come back any time,' she said while handing over Chikorita's Luxury Ball.

***

'Where are we now, Brad? We've been walking for hours,' Rachel complained.

'Half an hour to be precise, and we are on Route 116,' I explained to Rachel.

Then all of a sudden two dark persons appeared in front of us.

‘Making the region of Hoenn unsafe.’

‘From the biggest city to the tiniest cave.’

‘Stealing Pokémon is our occupation.’

‘We steal so much, no time for vacation.'

‘Alex!’

‘Lisa!’

‘Team Aqua here for widening the seven seas.’

‘More dangerous then thousands of bees!’

'Oh no, not those two!' I yelled.

'Yeah. What do you want?' Rachel asked them.

Lisa pointed at Jason and said: 'Him!'

'Why me?' Jason asked confused.

'We know your secret. You've been hanging around with two Team Magma members lately,' Alex yelled.

'Is that true?' I asked Jason.

'Yeah, but the part about me joining them isn't true. Team Magma has been trying to steal my badge and my Pokémon,' Jason replied.

'Don't lie! Delibird, Aipom, attack!' Lisa and Alex yelled.

'Cindaquil, I choose you!' I yelled.

'Gulpin, you're up!' Jason yelled.

***

'Aipom, mega punch against Gulpin!' Lisa yelled.

'Delibird, Head Butt against Cindaquil!' Alex yelled.

'Gulpin, when he hits you and Aipom's hand is stuck in your body, use Toxic!' Jason yelled.

'Cindaquil, finish this off quickly using Flamethrower,' I yelled at Cindaquil.

Aipom got poisened and his face was turning purple. Delibird was down, completely scorched.

'Ouch, Kentucky Fried Chicken,' Alex said while he and Lisa called back their Pokémon.

'Ready for round 2 kids?' Lisa asked.

'Ready as can be!' Jason and I yelled in stereo.

***

'Nidorino, Nidorina, Poison Sting!' Alex and Lisa said, throwing out Nidorina and Nidorino.

'Chikorita, Vine Whip!' I yelled while throwing Chikorita's Luxury Ball on the ground.

'Seedot, Nature Power!' Jason yelled while throwing Seedot's Pokéball on the ground.

Nidorina and Nidorino's attack where super effective because Poison is in the advantage against Grass types, and Chikorita and Seedot fainted immediately. But then...

'Look at Chikorita, it's glowing white! Is it...is it..' I said.

'Yeah Brad, It's evolving!' Rachel yelled.

'I'll check my Pokédex!' I yelled.

Bayleaf, the leaf Pokémon. The leaved around Bayleaf's neck cause the scent of a spicy aroma. If any Pokémon smells this they become healthy and energetic, and causes them to want to fight. Bayleaf is the evolved version of Chikorita.

'Bay Bay!' Bayleaf yelled. Bayleaf walked over to Seedot. Seedot jumped up and started glowing white too.

'Thanks to Bayleaf's aroma Seedot is evolving too!' Jason yelled.

Jason grabbed his Pokédex and scanned Seedot's evolution. The Pokédex said:

Nuzleaf, Seedot's evolved stage. Grass and Dark type. It uses the leaf on it's head as a flute to strike fear into trainer's hearts. Nuzleaf starts attacking everybody when his nose gets pinched.

'Bayleaf...' I yelled. 'Nuzleaf...' Jason yelled. 'Razor Leaf!' we screamed at the same time.

Nidorina and Nidorino got sent into the sky together with Alex and Lisa. Alex and Lisa yelled: 'And again we go sky high!'

***

With Seedot and Chikorita evolved, our heroes continue their journey threw Hoenn, to become a Hoenn Master!

[Venasaur89]

I am reading your fanfic from the start and its really cool. The things are happening pretty fast, and u don't have any fillers. The thing that I most like is that the person it acting like a beginner trainer but it do have a lot of knowledge about pokemon.

keep it up....

[Dragon_Claw]

Chapter Thirteen - Breaking threw the rock

As Rachel, Jason and Brad are walking threw Route 116, a sudden down poor starts. Everybody runs away, even the Lotads...

'Come on! We've got to find a hiding place!', Rachel yelled, trying to be louders then the rain drops falling down.

'Look! There's a house right there! Let's try to go in!', I yelled.

'Damn! It's locked you guys!', Jason said.

Rachel walked over to a sign, and she said: 'Tunneler's rest house. I think they're sleeping.'

'What do we do now then?', Jason asked.

'Let's go in that cave, we can shelter there, and when the storm is over we can continue threw it.', I said.

'Excellent idea! Let's go!', Rachel yelled.

***

They ran over to the cave, and when they got there, it was totally empty. However, creepy little eyes followed our heroes.

'I have the feeling somebody is watching us.', Rachel said nervous.

'Don't be so paranoid. The cave is totally empty.', I said.

'Look! A giant rock is blocking the cave!', Jason yelled.

All of a sudden they heard a loud screech, and pink Pokémon ran wild threw the cave.

'I'll scan them with my Pokédex.', I said while pointing my Pokédex at the creatures.

The Pokédex then spoke: 'Wismur, the whisper Pokémon. This Pokémon has a really soft voice, and it's hard to hear, even if paying close attention. But if it gets scared it screams really loud. This Pokémon doesn't like noise, so it lives in caves hoping for total silence.'

'That explains why they started screaming. Jason yelled so loud that they got scared.', Rachel said.

'Yeah, I guess you're right. Let's whisper from now on.', Jason said.

***

'Argh, harder! Try harder!', a voice came. We saw a man standing with a Machoke beside him. The Machoke was trying to clear the rock. Then all of a sudden the man looked back and saw Jason, Rachel and Brad standing. He said: 'Care to help me?'

'Depends on what you're doing.', Jason said.

'So, what are you doing?', I asked the man.

'I'm trying to clear the way of the tunnel.', the man said.

'Yes, we can see that. But why?', Rachel asked.

'The town after this tunnel has a Pokémon Contest house, and the city after that one has a gym. By the way, my name is Hank.', Hank said.

'Sure, we'll help.', Jason said. 'Makuhita and Meditite, help breaking this rock!', he yelled while throwing two Pokéballs on the ground.

The two Pokémon immediately started chopping down the rock together with Machoke. They where trained excellent.

'Bayleaf, use Razor Leaf!', I yelled when I threw Bayleaf's Luxury ball up in the air. Bayleaf started cutting down the rock too.

Then all of a sudden hundreds of Wismurs came running up to the heroes and Hank, and they sure didn't look happy!

'Skitty, go! Everybody cover your ears, so Skitty can sing them to sleep!', Rachel yelled after letting Skitty out of her Pokéball. The Wismurs fell to sleep immediately.

'Let's continue our work.', Hank said.

And so they did. After half an hour hard work, the rock was down half the size it used to be.

'I'm beginning to get tired! Cindaquil, Krabby and Treecko, come out!', I yelled, while letting them out of their Pokéballs. I then gave the commands: 'Cindaquil, first heat up the rock using your Flamethrower. Then Krabby, you use Bubble. The two of you working together can make the rock lose its strength. Then Treecko, you try as much as you can to destroy it.'

They did this. Cindaquil's beautifull blue flame and Krabby's clear Bubbles weakened the rock. However, Treecko didn't knew many moves to destroy it, except for some physical attacks and Absorb. Poor Treecko tried as hard as he could, but the rock was still too strong for him.

'Look at that! What's happening too Treecko?', I asked.

Treecko started glowing white and something started happening to his arms.

'It's evolving!', Hank yelled amazed.

'No it's not. Treecko just learned Leaf Blade! Look at Treecko's arms.', Jason said.

It was true. Treecko stopped glowing, but it had razor sharp leaves under his arms.

'Treecko, use your Leaf Blade!', I yelled.

Treecko ran at the rock, with his leaves pointed forwards. He cut the rock, and the rock got scattered to million pieces. The leaves fell off, started to rot, and they eventually dissappeared.

We walked to the end of the tunnel with our Pokémon following us. When we got out, we saw a man and a women with very strange uniforms, neither Team Aqua or Team Magma. They pointed at us with guns, real guns...

[totodilelover]

That was a good chapter! I really thought that treecko was going to evolve. That's a cool way of using leaf blade since we havent seen it in the anime or read about it. That was really cleaver. The legth was good to. You could use a little more deatial when the pokemon come's in and out of the pokeball. Other than that great. Keep up the hard work!

[Venasaur89]

Hi, that was a great chapter! keep it up.

I though the next gym would be in Dewford? but its good for a change.

[Dragon_Claw]

Chapter Fourteen - Guns 'n Roses

'Hand us your Pokéballs!', the male said very clearly.

'Is that the real thing?', Rachel asked me.

'How should I know. Not like I see them every day.', I commented.

'It's for real alright. But this isn't your average gun with bullets. These fire energy bolts, not that big, but they sure are powerfull.', Hank said.

'Powerfull like killing?', Jason asked nervous.

'No, not killing. At least not with one shot. I think you should be hit about hundred times to get killed, but they can shoot very fast, and reloading isn't required.', Henk told us.

'Stop the talking and hand over your Pokéballs!', the female yelled.

'You actually think we're gonna do that?', I asked them sarcastic.

'So you won't give them? Too bad, eat fire!', the male yelled, and then he started shooting at us. Luckily, the Pokémon jumped infront of the energy bolts, but they fainted. Everybody recalled their Pokémon.

'Looks like you're all out of Pokémon, huh? Let's have another go!', the female screamed.

She started shooting again, and we all dropped to the ground out of fear. I noticed we weren't being hit, so I looked up. I saw two Pokémon standing in front of us. They each carried two flower heads in their hands. They where spinning them so fast, the energy bolts got shot back, and with that, the couple dissappeared.

I saw a hand reaching towards me. I was still in shock so I didn't know if this was actually happening. I grabbed the hand, and I got pulled up. I looked at the person who was pulling me up, and I saw it was a girl. She had a very pretty face, and blonde, curling hairs. She was about the same size as me, and she was wearing a black top with a red skirt. Confused I asked: 'Did I die and reached heaven? Are you an angel?' She smiled and said: 'No, you're still alive.' Then I got smacked in the face.

'Stop the romantic stuff Romeo!', Rachel yelled angry.

'Jealous, eh?', Jason asked teasing Rachel.

'Ouch!', Jason yelled, after being hit to the ground by Rachel, with now a very red face.

***

'So these Pokémon are yours?' Jason asked the girl.

'No, they belong to my grandma and grandpa, they live nearby. They like the nature, but they are too old to go for a walk, so I caught these Pokémon for them, to have some nature inside.', she replied with a sweat smile.

'Let's see...', I said while scanning the Pokémon with my Pokédex.

The Pokédex said: Roselia, the thorn Pokémon. Part Poison, part Grass type. It picks the flowers of which they think is the prettiest. They pick them very carefully, as they always want to have the most beautifull. When somebody is trying to steal them, Roselia shoots poisonous thorns at them.

'That's a hell of a dangerous Pokémon!', Jason yelled.

'Yeah, but I wish I had one of my own...', the girl sighed.

'A Roselia?', Rachel asked.

'No, a Pokémon.', the beautifull girl sighed again.

'You don't even have a Pokémon?', Jason asked confused.

'No, I don't have one. But I do have this contest pass, but it's useless without a Pokémon.

'I have an idea! If I get you a Pokémon, can I have the contest pass.', Rachel squealed.

'Sure, but how are you going to get me a Pokémon?', the girl asked confused.

'You can have my Bellossom. We don't get along, and Bellossom always uses Stun Spore on me.', Rachel said sad.

'That's why I never saw it.', I said.

Rachel handed over a average Pokéball, and recieved the contest pass.

'Yes, now I can finally enter contests!', Rachel yelled.

'Okay, but let's go to the Gym now. I hear the leader uses electric Pokémon.', I yelled excited.

'Oh, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. The Gym is closed because of a death case in the leader's family.', the girl said.

'What else can we do here?', Jason asked.

'Well further up ahead, is a volcano, Mt. Chimney. In a couple of days there's gonna be a fire tournament. So if any of you have a Fire type Pokémon, you can battle with them there.', she replied.

'Then that's where we're going!', I yelled excited. 'By the way, what's your name?' I asked the beautifull girl.

'My name is Roseanne, but just call me Rose. By the way, do you guys mind if I go with you, only for a short time. I wish to see real trainers battle.', Rose said.

Jason and I immediately started blushing and I said: 'Sure! It's going to be cool!'

[Conn]

Great chapter. I like it.

[Venasaur89]

that was a great chapter! keep it up.

[totodilelover]

Another good chapter. You had good detail and I can't wait for the fire compition.

[Dragon_Claw]

Chapter Fifteen - Evolution Confusion

'If we go strait to the Fire Competition, we'll be too early.', Rachel said.

'Yeah, that's why I'll train here.', I replied.

'Aren't you gonna train?', Rose asked Jason.

'No, I don't have a fire Pokémon.', Jason said.

'Maybe you can catch one.', Rachel said.

'You think?', Jason asked Rachel.

'Yeah, it's full of fire types around the vulcano.', Rose butted in. I noticed Rachel started glaring at her, I guess she doesn't like Rose.

***

'Hey, are you a trainer? Want to battle? I'm trainer for the Fire Tournament? Are you? Please battle me!', a very hyper trainer said to me.

'Uh...yeah, let's do this!', I yelled.

'Do what? I don't know what you're talking about! Please inform me, I don't want to be left out. That's why I started my journey, because everybody in school left me out with every joke!', the young boy said, started crying.

Then Rachel walked over to him, gave him a wink and said: 'He just wants to battle you.'

'Oh, then it's okay I guess. Then now let's get started so I can train for the Fire Compitition. Have I told you I am entering that. I think I make a pretty good shot. I have trained my fire Pokémon for quite a while now, so I think and hope I'll be able to beat you. By the way, I'm Ferry.', Ferry said.

'I'm Brad. Cindaquil, go!', I yelled, throwing Cindaquil's Ember Ball on the ground.

'Come out team! I choose you, because I need to train for the Fire Competition!', the hyper Ferry yelled. The Pokéballs revealed a Plusle, a Mimun and a Slugma.

'Excuse me, but you can only use one Pokémon.', I said, a little scared of his hyperness.

'I know that. Plusle and Minun are cheering Pokémon. Because of their cheering they make a Pokémon work better in battle. So I chose them just to cheer for Slugma, so he would have an even bigger chance to win against you and your strong looking Cindaquil', Ferry said.

'Okay, if you want to play it like that: Bayleaf, come out!', I yelled.

'Just want to say one thing, I don't want to hurt your feelings or anything but Bayleaf can't cheer, at least not good. Just look at Bayleaf, he can't even clap his hands.', the ultra-hyper Ferry said.

'Yeah I know. I'm not dumb. But Bayleaf's aroma gives Pokémon more spirit. And she's a she.', I said.

'Slugma, use your Ember. Attacking first will give us a advantage, even tough it's just a small one, but I think we should use every we can.', Ferry said.

'Well, the element of surprise is gone really, and it wasn't a quick command. Flamethrower!', I yelled.

Cindaquil's back fire started lighting with blue fire, and then shot a blue Flamethrower at Slugma. However, it wasn't effective. But something happened to Ferry.

'Oh my god! It's a Cindaquil, but not a fire but a water. Slugma, return!', he yelled as he recalled his Slugma. I saw Cindaquil and saw he gained experience.

'Whaa! That's a super rare Pokémon. But I don't think you can use it in the Fire Tournament. Whaaa!', he yelled, and he ran off.

'What a freak.', I said. I saw Bayleaf cheering for Cindaquil, but then I thought of something: Shouldn't Cindaquil evolve by now.

'Is a Pokémon Centre near here, I want to call Prof. Birch.', I said.

'No, but I can lend you my mobile phone.', Rose said.

***

'Hello, Prof. Birch.', I said on the phone.

'Hello Brad. How are you? How is your Cindaquil?', Birch said.

'I'm good. And about Cindaquil, that's why I called. Cindaquil is much more experienced then te rest, but Bayleaf, used to be Chikorita when I got her, is evolved.', I explained

'Oh dear, Brad, check above Cindaquil's right hip.', Birch replied.

I felt above it's right hip and said: 'I feel a rock or something.'

'That's a everstone. Cindaquil ate a Everstone while she was here. It won't ever evolve.', Birch explained.

'Okay thanks.', I said disappointed. There goes my dream of getting a Blue-fired Typhlosion.

***

'Look!', Rachel yelled just as I hung up and handed the cell phone back. She pointed towards a camel-like Pokémon, looking very fierce and angry at us.

Jason yelled: 'That's a fire type. Better yet, that's MY fire type!'

[totodilelover]

Good chpater. I really thought cyndaquil would evolve but that was a cool idea with the ever stone. Keep it up! I wonder what will happen with the numel?

[Dragon_Claw]

What? You finished reading it already? Damn, you're fast!

[Conn]

Good job! I like it!
Cyndaquil WILL evovle...sooner or later, right?
