(Decided to do a chapter theme, like pokemon
Adventures does, but so it doesnt clog up the talent area, each post will be a chapter.)

Chapter 1: Vs deino

It was a normal day in the Unova region, moderately cloudy, fair weather, not to hot nor too cold. The temperature was just right. Perfect for starting a pokemon journey.

On this particular day however. There was business that needed attending. What sort of business you ask? Why the kind that required the attention of Lance the dragon master! Dragonite whisked above the waves, flying at full speed toward Unovas pokemon league headquaters. Its ability to fly not being bothered by the additional weight of its passengers.

Within a few moments it landed in front of the league headquaters. Kicking up as much dust as possible in the process. Lance jumped off and headed for the entrance to the structure.

The veteran trainer at the door stopped him. "Excuse me sir, this is the entrance to the pokemo....." Lance glared at the man, he didnt have time to stop and chit chat.

Lance:"I am lance of the kanto elite four. I am champion of the johto league. If i am not certified to walk into this building then no one in Unova is."

The veteran bumbled for a few seconds and lance brushed past him. He stopped. And turned around.
Lance: "dragonite, keep him out of trouble. Ill be back soon."

"Dragonite!" The pokemon called back with a salute.

Lance touched the statue and descended to the champions room.

Dragonite turned around. It hadnt noticed it, but the weight it had been carrying had at some point hopped down and had begun sneaking away.
It looked around frantically for the boy. It finally spotted him heading toward victory road.

"Dragonite!" It wailed as it ran after him. Grabbing him by his bag and lifting him up. The pokemon proceeded to scold the boy, using its free arm to gesture in his face like it had seen his mother do.

:"aww come on dragonite! Have a heart, i just wanted to go look around"

The boy said in protest. Dragonite shook its head in a no motion, sat the boy down and patted his head. It pointed at the spot and nodded once. Indicating he should stay put.

It crossed its arms and closed its eyes.

Within two seconds the boy had vanished.

Dragonite began looking frantically around the area for him, its master had given it one command. And it was currently failing.

: "so this is the elite four pokemon center." He said in awe looking around at the large room. "Its even got a pokemart inside!" He walked up to the counter, "excuse me, id like to buy ten pokeballs please" he said sitting the money on the counter.

"Ten? Sure here you are." The shop keep said handing him a small package. "Oh yeah! You get this free cause you bought ten or more pokeballs" the man said handing the boy a small white ball. "Its called a premier ball. Were doing a promotion with them."

:"Cool! I got a free ball! Todays my lucky day! Actually can i get ten more then? I kinda like these premier balls."

"Tell ya what kid. Ill make you a deal. You give me those pokeballs back, and ill give you ten premier balls."

:"seriously?! Thanks mister!" The boy said handing the pokeballs back and receiving a different package with ten premier balls inside. The boy exited the building.

"Jokes on that kid, he thought he got one heck of a deal, glad i finally got rid of those balls. All anyone ever does is sell them back to us." The other shop keeper laughed at this.

Dragonite saw the boy and after another scolding session, decided itd be better if the held onto him.

:" come on dragonite let me go! I just wanna go look around! You can come with honest!" He said finally managing to worm his way out of dragonites grip. He ran out to victory road, and seeing a hole in the fencing jumped and slid down the of the mountain.

Dragonite wailed in despair then followed the boy. It finally caught up to him at the bottom of the mountain. He walked in the door to victory road. And saw a few wild pokemon attacking a small blue and black one.

:" hey leave it alone!" The boy yelled running at the pokemon.

Dragonite face palmed. This kid was trouble.

Upon closer inspection the boy saw that the pokemon attacking were metallic looking and insectoid in nature. "Durant!" They hissed and began to charge at him.

:" ah crap! This must be their nest!"

Dragonite charged in, and whipped them away with its tail. It then spewed a flamethrower which hit all of the pokemon and sent them scurrying away.

:" you okay little guy?" The boy said lifting the little creatures head up?

"...eino..." it said weakly. Then it bit his hand.

:" owww! Why would you do that?!" The boy said yelling at the pokemon.

Dragonite grabbed it and smacked it with dragon claw, fainting it.

:"hey it fainted, and we cant just leave it here, itll die if it gets attacked again." The boy brought his fist down on his open palm. "Yup only one thing to do. Gonna have to catch it."

He pulled out the premier ball and threw it.

It absorbed the pokemon,wiggled a few times and then the red ring around the middle lit up and the ball emited a clicking noise.

:" yea! I caught a pokemon! Thanks dragonite!" He said patting the large yellow dragon on the head.

The pair walked outside. The boy turned around.

:" how do we get back up?!" He said looking up the mountain.

Dragonite flapped its wings and grabbed the boy. Within a few seconds they were back in front of the pokemon league.

The boy rushed inside the pokemon center and healed the pokemon he had caught.

He came back out. With the pokemon fully healed. Just as lance was walking out of the league building.

Lance:" i trust he wasnt too much trouble dragonite?" Lance said with a smirk.

The pokemon nodded.

Lance:" good, ready to go?" He said looking at his son.

:" yup!" He said jumping on dragonites back.

Lance:"well then, next stop... Nuvema town!"

And they were off!

[Metal]

Chapter 2: vs minccino and vanilite.

A few minutes later Dragonite landed in nuvema town. Lance and the boy hopped of.

Lance: dragonite return.
The dragon was called back into its pokeball.

Lance: you ready?
He said putting his hands on the boys shoulders.

: sure thing dad.

The two walked up to the door. It opened and a small ball of grey fur leapt out at the two. Followed by a woman in a lab coat.

Lab coat: minccino get back here!
The woman yelled. Chasing after it. "Grab it! Dont let it run off!" She yelled.

Lance and the boy just stood still. The minccino stopped and sniffed them, allowing the boy to pick up the small pokemon.

: its kinda cute. Hey whats it holding?

Lance laughed: on the go as usual eh professor juniper?

Prof juniper stops and catches her breath. : as usual i suppose. She says laughing. "Actually that minccino just wondered up to the lab the other day. Ive been having it clean the lab, but it doesnt have a trainer. Ive actually been wanting to find it one, because it keep misplacing my lab equipment to clean it.

The boy took the box from minccino.
: like this? He said holding the box up.

Prof juniper: ah yes! The pokedexes. Thank you.
She said taking the box.
"And you must be one of the three trainers here to start your journey....... im sorry whats your name again? She said with a chuckle.

: im Crimson. Nice to officially meet you.
He said extending his hand. She shakes it.

Prof juniper: right. Forgive me if i forget your name. I give lots of kids starter pokemon. Speaking of that, the boy over there is here for the same reason you are. Err i cant remember his name....

"Im gray. Honestly professor juniper, i dont understand sometimes, ive lived in this town my whole life."

Prof juniper laughs. "Right how silly of me. Of course your name is gray. How could i forget. Ive known you so long its almost like were family.

She opens the box and removes the pokedexes. Now as soon as our other trainer shows up. We can begin.

Crimson: right! Um actually though i have a confession. I sort of already have a pokemon.

He holds up the ball containing deino.

Prof juniper: actually id say you have two now...
She says pointing at minccino who had found crimsons premier balls and had accidentally caught itself in one.

Through the ball minccino could be seen frantically trying to get out. (In pokemon adventures, the balls can be seen through, and the pokemon can move around inside)

Crimson let minccino out of its ball. "Didnt like it in there huh little guy?"

The minccino dusted the ball out frantically with its tail. "Minccino!" It said with a determined face after the task was done.

Crimson: "Well how about you stay out for awhile then?" He says picking up the ball and minccino.

Lance: not bad, you havent even started yet, and your already a leg up on the compitition.

He chuckles.

??: if you're all done blabbering. Id like to get my pokemon and be on my way.

Lance: hello navy. Your mother informed me youd be starting today. Have you given any thought as to which pokemon you want to start with?

Navy: the strongest of the three. I had planned to try battling with each of them.

Prof juniper: great idea! However i only have one of each. So i set up a simulator with each pokemon. Follow me.

She walks them into a room in the back of her lab. In the room are three smaller rooms.

"Each of those rooms is a hollow battle ring. Ive scanned the three pokemon i have in, the data for each one is in the rooms. Have fun." Prof juniper says. Activating the rooms.

Each trainer steps inside.

Prof juniper: so which pokemon do you think the three of them will pick?

Lance: dont know. Crimson hasnt shown a particular interest in any type. Navy i think will want oshawott, because it can learn ice type moves when it evolves. And i dont know the other boy. Gray was it? So i cant say. I think they will make the correct choice though.

Prof juniper: good answer. She says chuckling.

A few minutes later they all stepped back into the lab.

Prof juniper, "well have you all decided?"

Gray: id like snivy, if no one objects.

Crimson: no worries here. I couldnt figure out snivys battle style in the sim anyways.

Navy: grass types are weak against ice. Why would i want that weak thing? Go ahead.

Gray: Grayt (read great, know that in grays head its spelled grayt though) ill tak snivy then!

Prof juniper hands him snivys ball. "Take good care of it." She hands him five pokeballs and a pokedex as well.

"Next please"

Crimson: looks like your up navy.

Navy: hmph, id say i want oshawott, but then youd get tepig, and thatd leave my ice types at a disadvantage. But i dont want tepig either. I refuse to lower myself to train a fire type. It totally goes against my battle style. Besides the oshawott and tepig here are weak anyways. Ill just take the pokedex and go.

Prof juniper: if thats how you feel then here.
She hands him the dex and balls. "But i doubt you can catch to many wild pokemon without a pokemon to battle them with.

Navy: i already have two. He holds up balls containing a cubchoo and a vanilite.
"And unlike your so called starters my pokemon are strong.

Lance: thats enough. Pokemon are more than just tools. How dare you call yourself a trainer when you so blatantly disrespect them like that. Outside now.

Lance and navy face off outside the lab.

Lance: crimson let me see your deino.

Crimson: sure dad. He says handing him the ball.

Lance: alright deino come out!

"Deino!" The small pokemon says in a flash of light as it appears.

Navy: go vanilite. Show them your chilling power!"

"Vani!" The small ice type calls out as it appears.

Navy: Ice beam!

Vanilite fires an ice beam.

Lance says nothing, deino dodges and counters with bite.

Navy: no words to say dragon master?

Lance stays silent as deino throws the vanilite and uses dragon pulse.

Vanilite is hurt but can still continue.

Navy: vanilite, ice beam again!

Deino again dodges, countering again with bite. Which causes vanilite to feint.

Navy: tch, vanilite return.

Lance: type advantage isnt everything. Deino had a disadvantage and it won the battle. It doesnt just win because its supposedly stronger. They arent tools. They are living beings with feelings and instincts. Get that or you wont ever get pokemon.

Lance hands crimson deinos ball back.

"Good first catch. Your deino has excellent hearing. I didnt talk loudly but it got my message. Train it well"

Crimson: thanks dad. Deino retur....

Deino upon sensing the rookie trainer being in charge again had taken a nap.

Crimson: *groan* return.
A beam of red light evelopes deino and it goes back into the ball.

Lance laughs. "Dragonite did me the same way when i caught it. Dragon types take time to master.

Prof juniper: well navy?

Navy: im outta here. One battle proves nothing.

He leaves. Heading out of town.

Lance: i hope he figures it out soon. Otherwise his pokemon will resent him eventually. Ill have to ask brycen about his training later.

Prof juniper: well crimson?

Crimson: id like to have oshawott then ma'am.

Prof juniper: certainly: here you are. She hands him the ball. And pokedex.

Crimson: actually i have a ball for it. He touches the two balls together at the button and the pokemon is transferred to the premier ball.

Prof juniper: about tepig... actually can one of you take it? I dont need a fire type burning down my lab.

She says laughing.

Crimson: go ahead grey. I have three pokemon so its onlt fair.

Gray: right. He takes the ball.


Lance: great, your both all set to go. Thanks prof juniper i hate that crimson starting here instead of johto was so last minute.

Prof juniper: not at all, i needed a third trainer anyways. She said chuckling.

Lance: on your way then you two. Stay in touch son.

Crimson: sure thing dad. He gives lance a hug. "Bye"

Gray: actually would you mind waiting before you leave town. I need to go home and tell my parents im leaving.

Crimson: sure thing. Were both headed to route one anyways right? May as well travel together.

Gray: right.

Lance: good to see you wont be traveling alone. Bye.

He had previously let dragonite about. "Head for Iccurius city dragonite."

"Dragonite!" It says taking off.

(After a three day hiatus due to work i have returned to continue my writting.)

Chapter 3: vs purrloin

Crimson had been waiting for Gray outside the lab, he decided to let his pokemon get some fresh air, he figured if theyd be in pokeballs a lot they needed a refresher occaisionally. Oshawott and minccino had begun running in a circle playing some sort of game he couldnt quite figure out, deino looked around, or moved its head around since it didnt have any eyes. Sniffed the air near Crimson and went to sleep.

Crimson: still determined to be a slacker huh deino?

He was met with a snore in response.

Crimson: thought so. *sigh*


Prof juniper walked out of the lab just then.

Prof juniper: *chuckle* dont worry, itll accept you as its trainer eventually. Give it time. Speaking of time...

She said looking at her xtransciever. "I feel like im late for or am forgetting something..."


She ponders it with her hand under her chin, thumb and index finger along her jaw line in a v shape.

Prof juniper: ah yes! That trainer was coming by to upgrade his pokedex today.

She stands on her tiptoes in a very patrat pose. Looking around.

Prof juniper: now where is he? Is he late?


Suddenly a black dragon looking pokemon lands in front of them.

Crimson: hey its a charizard!

Prof juniper: what? I thought charizards were orange!

?: they are. Mine is a tad different. I am told the proper term is "shiny"

The boy makes air quotes as he says the last word.

?: charizard return.

"Zard!" It roars as it is returned into the ball.

?: sorry im late prof juniper, i was trying to decided what pokemon to bring. I finally decided on just bringing charizard.

Prof juniper: no worries, i was hoping youd get here before Crimson and Gray left. Since Gray is the only one who lives here in Unova it makes sense for him to act as a guide right?

She pauses.

Prof Juniper: oh yes, im terrible with names. Whats yours again?


?: nathaniel. But just nate is fine.

Prof juniper: very well nate, hand me your pokedex and ill get you set up.

Nate: actually, prof oak took it before i left he said he would send you the data.

Prof juniper: ah that sounds like him.

Her xtransciever begins ringing. "Hmm? Oh youve sent it now? Great thank you. Yes hes here. Yes. Alright. Goodbye professor.

Prof juniper: well it seems everything is in order. One moment.

She goes inside the lab rustling can be heard. She then comes back out.

Prof juniper: here you are.

She hands nate a new pokedex.

Nate: great thanks.

Prof juniper: well thats done, now i have to catch another oshawott, tepig and snivy. And they are so hard to find. Ta ta.

She says locking her lab behind her. And in a flash she is gone.

Nate: so your name is crimson?

Crimson: yup.

Nate: you look familiar...

Crimson: really?

Nate: vaguely anyways.

Crimson: well my dad is in the eilte four of kanto.

Nate: your lances kid then. Thought so. Good times battling your dad. I wouldnt hold champion status if id lost though.

Crimson: you hold champion status? Sweet.

Nate: i guess. He begins laughing.

Prof juniper walks back up.

Prof juniper: i forgot! To give you your trainer cards! Here.

She hands crimson an envelope and is gone again.

Crimson: man shes fast.

Nate: and forgetful.

Crimson opens the envelope.

Inside is a short note and three cards.

The note reads "here is your trainer card. Keep it handy, its important. Also give navy his when you see him. -thanks, Prof Juniper"

Crimson pockets his and navys cards, "ill give gray his in a second. Oh here he comes. Everyone return." He holds up his balls to call them back. Minccino dodges the beam and lands on crimsons head.

Crimson: you really dont like the ball huh? Its okay you can stay out.
He pats minccino on the head.

Gray: okay im ready to go.

Crimson: great lets go.

Nate: im nate. Good to meet you. But um youve got a guest traveler following you.

He says pointing at something over grays shoulder.

Gray: im Gray. Huh?

He turns around.

Gray: ah man, purrloin go home, mom and dad need you there.

Purrloin disregards that command and walking up hands gray a note out of his mouth.

It reads "Son, purrloin is attached to you, take it with you on your journey. Besides, we would forget to feed him anyways. -Love, mom & dad."

Gray: so you want to go with?

Purrloin nods its head.

Gray: well ill have to battle you, because officially you belong to dad.

Purrloin shakes its head.

Gray: he released you then?

It nods.

Gray: then i can catch you if we battle right?

Purrloin nods again.

Gray: okag then lets battle.

Purrloin cries out in agreement.


*a wild purrloin appeared?! What will Gray do?!"

Gray: Go snivy!

"Snivy!" The snake pokemon yells as it comes out.

Gray: snivy tackle!

Snivy tackles purrloin, and while it does damage the effect is minimal.

*the wild purrloin used fury swipes"

*it hit 3 times*

Gray: snivy keep using tackle!

Snivy repeatedly tackles purrloin. And after around 9 hits purrloin is fatigued.

Gray: right! Ill throw the ball now!

The pokeball hits purrloin and shakes a few times. And then makes a click noise as the button in the center glows red.

Gray: sweet i caught it! Oh yea, i should probably heal him.

Gray sends out purrloin and sprays a potion on it. He then sprays another potion on snivy.

Gray: okay guys return.

The pokemon are returned.

Crimson: good job, oh yea here.

He hands navy his trainer card.

Gray: thanks. I guess we head to route one right?

Nate: i suppose so.

Crimson: yup.

The three head to route 1 and officially begin their journey in Unova.

[Metal]

Chapter 4: vs lilipup

After walking on route 1 for awhile our heroes decide to stop and rest.

Gray: id say we're halfway to accumula town.

Crimson: whats in accumula town?

Gray: well as far as trainers go, nothing of interest per say, they have a battle tournament every so often for starting trainers, but otherwise not much there.

Nate: hmm, well id say you two should enter the torunament if its going on when we get there. For now though i say we look around for pokemon.

Gray: well the only pokemon near here are lilipup and patrat. If we cross the river i think there are some stronger pokemon but its out of the way.

Nate: ok so then...

Nate pulls out his pokedex and looks for patrat and lilipup.

Nate: both normal types huh? Patrat elvoles into watchog and lilipup can evolve into herdier and then stoutland.

Nate stands up "i guess ill be catching a lilipup then."

He walks off looking for a lilipup. "Ill catch up to you guys in accumula town. Charizard can fly me there so why dont you two get a head start. It may take awhile to find a lilipup i want to catch and train."

Crimson & Gray: alright if your sure.

They rest for awhile longer and then head to accumula town.

Nate: now where to find a lilipup?

A group of patrats appear.

Nate: patrat huh? Lame, go away.

He sends out charizard.

Nate: use blast burn!

Charizard uses blast burn and faints the entire group.

Nate: hmph, i dont plan to faint the entire patrat population here. But id like to find a lilipup soon. And if i have to remove patrat from the equation then so be it.

A few more groups of patrats come out and meet the same fate as the first group.

Nate: what a bother.

As charizard is resting from blast burn a lilpup comes up and begins licking its foot.
Charizard growls and smacks its tail down startling the lilpup,

Nate: easy charizard, we dont want to frighten it away.

Charizard snorts. The lilipup finds its courage again and sniffs charizards foot. Then it bites its foot.

Nate chuckles "its got spunk doesnt it?"

Charizard is not amused, and roars at the small puppy pokemon.

Lilipup cowers in fear, but then begins barking at charizard.

Nate: ok charizard. Use the weakest attack you have. Ember!

Charizard roars and shoots a small fire ball out of its mouth.

Lilipup takes the hit and manages to stand back up, albeit barely.

Nate: now go pokeball!

The ball hits lilipup and captures it inside. However it begins to shake and after several shakes the ball pops open.

Nate: shoot! I almost caught it!

Nate throws another ball, which is succesful.

Nate: yes! I caught a lilpup! Alright charizard, lets head to accumula town.

"Zard!" It yells as nate hops on its back and they take off.

The pile of fainted patrats lays dormant, possibly because the patrats are possibly dead. Possibly...

[Metal]

Chapter 5: vs gollett and pawniard

Crimson and Gray arrived in accumula town after that. They had battled some patrats and lilipups on the way and their pokemon had leveled up, which naturally meant they were tired. So they headed to the pokemon center.

Once inside, The nurse kindly healed their pokemon, and they sat down at the rest area to relax for a bit.

Crimson: well im beat.

Gray: me too, i think we should rest in the town for a day or so, we have routes to train on, to the north and south, and who knows how long itll be before we reach another center.

Crimson: good idea. Besides im stoked about the tournament.

He points to a flyer posted on the wall of the center.

Gray: yea me too, itll be a good chance to test our mettle against other trainers.

Crimson: i say we rest up. Its not until tomorrow anyways.

Gray: yea, i wonder where nate is?

Crimson: probably still hunting a lilipup. Im not too worried, even across the river i think hed be fine. His charizard seems really strong.

Gray: charizard?! He has one?

Crimson: yea. But i doubt he will enter the tournament. His charizard basically would win regardless.

Gray: probably, i feel like most trainers around here are in our same boat.

Crimson: yea.

Suddenly, nate walks into the pokemon center.

He hands the nurse his pokeballs. And then proceeds to talk to her.

Nate: so im not sure how to put this, but you may want to send someone to route 1. My charizard fainted a whole herd or so of patrats. Not sure the condition they are in now. I was looking for a lilipup and they suddenly all just jumped me.

Nurse Joy: *sigh* patrat are territorial, they probably viewed you as a threat. You may have tought them a lesson, but we will send someone that way to check on them.

Nate: alright. Thanks.

He comes and sits down next to crimson and gray.

Nate: sup dudes?

Crimson: well the tournament isnt until tomorrow. But we decided to hang here for a bit anyways.

Gray: probably the next couple of days to train and participate in the tournament.

Nate: ah, alright. Im down. I need to train lilipup anyways.


After an evening of training and a trip to the pokemon center where they ate and stayed the night, our heroes wake up refreshed and ready for the battle tournament.

Gray: dang they go all out dont they?
He says looking at the digital scoreboard.

Nate: nah, that things a clunker. You should check out the pokemon leagues in kanto. Its sweet.

A few other trainers gather around. Soon the judge comes up.

Judge: right, so here are the rules. It will be a 2 on 2 battle tournament. Its up to the trainers if they want to double battle instead. But only two pokemon may be used by each competitor.

Crimson: right. I get it.

Gray: seems easy enough.

Nate: crap. I dont think im eligible.

Judge: every please be orderly and insert your trainer card into the score board one at a time. It will ask you to select your pokemon as well. Again remember only two may be selected.

After a few moments the trainers are in the scoreboard and their pokemon are registered.

The judge comes up to nate

Judge: excuse me, but is there any other pokemon you have to battle with? Im afraid your charizard cannot participate due to its high level and hall of fame status.

Nate: i figured as much, but i left all my other pokemon save for lilipup in kanto.

Judge: well then i may have to disqualify you.

Crimson: here use deino nate.

Gray: or purrloin.

Judge: i will allow you to use purrloin. Deino seems far to strong.

Nate: all right then. Thanks gray.

Gray: no prob.

Judge: all right then folks without further ado, lets battle tournament! In our first match, its Crimson versus.... Youngster Joey!


Joey: check out my ratta.... patrats! Go patratata!

Two patrats emerge from the pokeballs.

Crimson: ill use minccino and oshawott then!

Crimsons pokemon emerge ready to battle.

Joey: alright patrat use leer! And patrat use leer!

Crimson: minccino use swift. Oshawott water gun!

The patrats start to use leer. But are interupted by a flurry of stars that hit them in the face. Followed by one of them getting koed by water gun.

Joey: oh noes!

Crimson. Minccino use tackle, oshawott use tackle!

Joey: patrat use focus energy!

Patrat stood in place trying to tighten ita focus. It fainted due to double tackle.

Joey: wahhhhhhh you cheated! Wahhhhhhh

He returns his patrats and runs away crying.

Judge: Youngster joey is unable to battle! Crimson wins!

Crimson returns his pokemon and steps off the field.

Judge: next we have Nate versus... CHANCE!!!!!!

the crowd cheers loudly as a rich boy with glasses walks up.

Nate: great its the crowd favorite. And he is probably gonna use his daddys money pokemon.

Chance: ive got the best pokemon money can buy! Your going down chump!

Nate: oh really? Lets do this.

Nate sends out lilipup and purrloin.

Chance: go pawniard and golett.


Nate checks his pokedex for typing. "Hmm, so dark type, ghost type and fighting type moves huh? K then."

Nate: lilipup use bite on golett! Purrloin, use shadow ball. (So idk if it can learn it, but liepard can, and yea...)

Lilipup gets in close to golett. And bites it in the face. Distracting it long enough for shadow ball to hit.

Chance: golett use earthquake! Pawniard jump up and use metal claw.

Nate: lilipup keep biting its face. Purrloin. Just before golett stomps down jump up and use bite on pawniard!

Lilipup dug its teeth deeper into golett, and by staying attached it avoided earthquake.

Purrloin jumped up and bit pawniard, managing to flip it in the air and throwing it to the ground just as earthquake hit.

Chance: pawniard no!

Pawniard fainted.

Chance: golett throw that lilipup off and use shadow ball on it!

Nate chuckles.

And lets it play out. The shadow ball hits lilipup and does no damage. Disperaing into tiny purple blips before fading away.

Chance: what?! How?!

Nate: you dont know anything about type effectiveness do you? Normal types arent effected by ghost moves and vice versa.

Chance: what?! Thats cheating!

Nate: naw, but two against one might be. Oh well. Tell your dad to buy you some battling lessons next time. Lilipup use bite! Purrloin use shadow claw(again i know liepard can learn it...)

The moves hit fainting golett.

Chance: wahhhh your a jerk wahhhhhh!

Nate: man whats with all the babies in this tourney? You win some you lose some. No biggie.

Judge: Rich Boy Chance is unable to battle! Nate is the winner.

Nate: hey gray. Heres purrloin back. I may need to use it again later, but i dont feel right about holding it in between battles. Its your pokemon after all.

Gray: oh uh thanks?

Judge: alright after a short break our next battle will begin!

[Metal]

(After another work long hiatus our story continues!)

Chapter 6: vs N and cubchoo

Judge: our temporary break is over, as of right now, two competitors have advanced to the semifinals. Who will win the next match, and who will be our finalists? Without further ado lets begin once more! First we'll see how Gray faces off against... a newcomer, N Harmonia! Afterwords well see how Trainer Navy does against hiker pete!


Gray: huh navy is here?

Crimson: good we need to give him his trainer card, actually how did he enter without one?

Nate: good question, without it he isnt legally a trainer.

Judge: actually i saw it when you pulled out your own card, you put his back into your pocket, i figured prof juniper forgot, she is rather bad about that. Anyway, give it too him asap please.


Gray: well you can handle it right? Ive got a battle to win.

Crimson: sure can. Good luck!

Gray goes to the arena.

Crimson: where is navy?

He looks around. "Ah over there."

Crimson: hey navy, here.

He says throwing the trainer card at navy card shark style.

Navy catches it in the same deft manner between two fingers.

Navy: i suppose i should thank you. Should being the key word. If that airheaded excuse for a professor hadnt forgot i wouldnt be in this mess. Whatever, ill see you in the finals dragon boy. And ill mop the floor with you there.

Crimson: alright sure...

Navy walks off.

Nate: man that guy is a jerk. Remind me to tell lorelei she failed as a parent.

Crimson laughs. "I understand where his bias is coming from, but he could stand to be a tad nicer i suppose.



Judge: let our battle commence!

N: what do your pokemon say about you?

Gray: huh?

N: i choose purrloin and zorua.

N's pokemon burst forth from the balls and cry out ready to battle.

Gray: ill choose snivy and tepig then...

Grays pokemon come out ready to stand and fight.

N: interesting choice. Their voices are loud, if nothing else.

Gray: huh?

N: purrloin fury swipes! Zorua, use faint attack! (I have no idea, its dark type at least?)

Gray: snivy vine whip on purrloin! Tepig use ember!

The pokemon spur to life, with snivy and purrloin trading blows claw for vine. And tepig using ember and hitting the image left behind due to feint attack then getting hit from the side.

N: keep it up!

Gray: um.... snivy, dodge it then use tackle! Tepig, use ember in a wider swath, and dodge when it feints!

Again the pokemon move, with snivy hitting the purrloin in the side, and then dodging its claws. Followed by tepig shooting embers in a wide arc in front of it.

Zorua feinted right into the embers just as tepig dodged. Taking a big hit.

Gray: tepig use ember again! Snivy, vine whip!

N: your pokemon say some interesting things trainer.

Gray: huh?

N: very interesting indeed.

Snivy uses vinewhip and faints purrloin. While tepig trys to use ember but is unable.

Gray: whats going on?

N: its out of PP for ember, it cant use the move without resting.

Gray: then use tackle!

Tepig tackles zorua and it faints,

Judge: N is unable to battle! Gray is victorious!

N: such interesting voices.
He says returning his pokemon and leaving.

Gray: what an odd guy.

He returns his pokemon and heads back to the group.

Nate: good battle, though i feel like that guy gave up at the end.

Gray: yea, he seemed not into it.

Crimson: well im sure he had his reasons, but hey you won!

Gray: right, we should probably go rest our pokemon though

Nate: good idea. You guys go ahead, i have a few potions and elixirs so ill be ok. I want to watch Navy battle.

Crimson: right.

Gray: kk

Nate thinks *did he really just use text lingo in real life?*

He uses his medicine on lilipup restoring its health and PP

Judge: now we have Navy battling against hiker pete! What thrills will this battle bring forth?

Pete: check out my geodu... i mean roggenrolas!

Navy: i dont care what lame rock types you have, your going to lose.

Pete: go roggenrola and roggenro

Navy: 1v1 double battles are a waste of time.

Pete:... ok then.

Navy: cubchoo. Go.

Cubchoo and roggenrola enter the field in a bright flash.

Pete: roggenrola rock throw!

Navy: dodge and counter with brine.

Cubchoo does as told, and faints roggenrola in one hit.

Pete: wha?!... go roggenrola! Use rock slide!

Navy: brine again.

Cubchoo again dodges and hits its target. Fainting it with shat seems like heavy rainfall.

Judge: pete is unable to battle! Cubchoo wins!

Navy: hmph.

Pete: how did this happen?

Nate: he doesnt play around does he? No matter he wont be a challenge anyways.

Judge: its getting late folks, so we have decided to postpone the last half of the tournament until tomorrow!

[Metal]

Chapter 7: versus charizard



The next day the tournament resumed.

Judge: now for our semifinal match ups the score board will randomize our four finalists.

after a few moments the matchups are decided.

Judge: All right folks, looks like we have crimson against nate, and gray against navy! lets get ready to watch some awesome battles!

Crimson: well i guess ill get to test my metal against a champion sooner than i thouhgt.

Nate: i think you mean mettle...

Crimson: yea that. anywho you ready to battle?!

Nate: yea lets get this over with.

Crimson and nate step into the ring, sending out oshawott and minncino against lilipup and purrloin.

Crimson: minnccino use swift! oshawott, use water gun on purrloin!

Nate: lillipup use growl and purrloin use tail whip!

Crimson: huh? those moves dont do damage?!

Nate: they may not do hp damage, but they do do stat damage.

Crimson: huh?

Nate: *sigh* how are you the champion of johtos kid? pokemon have battle stats, and moves like growl and tail whip can temporarily lower those in a battle. making your pokemons attacks and defenses weaker.

Crimson: oh. i knew that....

Nate: right.

the moves connect and due to the stat alterations are less effective.

Nate: now purrloin, fury swipes! and lillpup tackle!

Crimson: dodge and use swift and tackle!

however crimsons pokemon are too slow and take the hits. minnccino is nearly fainted and oshawott is roughly at half health.

Crimson: huh? how did purrloin do so much damage?

Nate: it has a higher level. Gray's dad did train it after all. so naturally its stats are higher. its way stronger than minnccino is right now.

Crimson: well that sucks. dont give up guys! minnccino tail whip! oshawott water gun. target lillipup!

Nate: ah take out one at a time huh? that may have worked at the start. but right now, its too late. one more time guys tackle and fury swipes, but switch targets.

in the aftermath, lillipup is fainted as are oshawott and minnccino.

Judge: crimson is unable to battle, Nate is the winner!

Crimson: return.
both pokemon return.
Crimson: dang it, i lost so easily.

Nate: hey no worries. i lost a few times when i first started out. i had this rival who knew way more than i did. he was kind of a jerk too. but well i beat him for kanto league champion. just gotta keep your elbows in bro. go get your pokemon rested.

Crimson: thanks nate. i dont plan on losing again.

Nate: thats the spirit.

A few minutes later, crimsons pokemon are healed. and its about time for match two.

Gray: man im nervous.

Navy: dont be. you and your weak pokemon are gonna loose.

Gray: gee thanks. jerk.

Navy: oooh petty name calling. you are still gona loose.

Judge: now let match two of the semi finals commence!

Navy: go.

he sends out cubchoo and vanilite.

Gray: ok you two, we can do this!

tepig and snivy emerge.

Navy: cubchoo brine on tepig, vanilite use icy wind.

Gray pauses for a second. then orders his pokemon to switch places. tepig takes the brunt of icy wind, and snivy gets hit with brine. while both take some damage it is minimal.

Navy: well looks like you arent as hopeless as lance's kid at least.

Gray: dont mock my friends. tepig use ember! snivy use vine whip!

Navy: dodge and use brine and icy wind again.

the moves collide and tepig gets hit with brine, doing a good bit of damage. snivy takes icy wind and is left with 1 hp.

Navy: you cant win. even with a fire type you dont stand a chance.

Gray: yea yea.

Navy: one more time!

Gray: dodge and counter!

snivy takes the full effect of brine and icy wind as it shields tepig, and tepigs blaze kicks in, upping the effect of its fire moves.

Gray: oh no! snivy return! Tepig, use ember on cubchoo!

Navy: how noble. you still cant win! hit it with brine and ice shard!

tepig dodges the brine, and its ember melts the ice shard, hitting vanilite and fainting it.

Navy: hmph. return. cubchoo, brine.

Gray: dodge and use ember!

tepig tries to dodge. but cubchoo, stops mid attack and re aims. its brine fizzles out the ember, and hits tepig dead on, fainting it.

Gray: good match. even if i did loose.

Navy: whatever.

he returns his pokemon and takes them too heal. gray does the same.

Judge: well folks thats it, Navy is our winner and will face Nate in the final match!

Nate: im gonna mop the floor with that kid.

Crimson: haha dont hurt him too bad, he may be a jerk but he isnt too bad a rival for me and gray right now.

Nate: hah, that kid could loose a hundred times and he still wouldnt get it.

Judge: alright its time for our final match now, without further ado, its Nate versus Navy!

Nate: im only gonna use one pokemon at a time. you can use your whole army.

Navy: ha, so you want to loose then, fine with me, you champions are all gonna loose to me one day anyways.

Nate: yea, sure.

Navy: go cubchoo, and vanilite.

Nate: go charizard.

Charizard roars to life as it emerges from its pokeball.

vanilite and cubchoo come out hiding behind navy.

Judge: i believe i specified charizard was a no go. that is a penalty if you dont return it this second.

Nate: no worries judge. Charizard, step out of the ring.

Charizard does as commanded. standing behind nate.

Nate: go purrloin!

Purrloin comes out, licking one paw in typical cat fashion. cubchoo and vanilite warily enter the field.

Navy: quit being scared. its just a stupid charizard!

Nate: great now youve gone and insulted him. *sigh*

Charizard roared and started spewing fire. flapping its wings and causing a great ruckus to show how powerful it was.

Nate: yea yea your big and bad. go back in your ball and cool off hothead.

he returns charizard.

Navy: you cant even keep that crazy brute in check?!

Nate: fat chance, i let him show off a little. he may not have intimidate as an ability, but your pokemon seem pretty intimidated.

Navy: huh? what are you two doing?! get back out there!

navys pokemon slowly entered the field again after once more fleeing behind navy.

Nate: alright, purrloin, use shadow claw!

Navy: icy wind and brine!

Purrloin nimbly dodges and strikes vanilite in the face, causing it to fall backwards.

Nate: now shadow ball!

Navy: move vanilite. cubchoo, use ice shard!

its to no avail and vanilite faints.

Navy: return.

Nate: you dont even care about it do you?

Navy: what?!

Nate: your vanilite, you dont seem to down that it got hurt, more like angry that it under performed.

Navy: so what? its my pokemon, why do you care how i raise it?

Nate: i used to be the same way, i would battle my pokemon training them till they fainted then use another one in my team until i was down too one. and when it fainted then id go to a center and heal them all and start over. when i got tired of battling with some of them, id release them into the wild or leave them at the lab in pallet town, and id go catch new ones. the only one i always took was charizard, because it was strong and didnt loose at all.

Navy: whats your point? all your story has done has bored me and cubchoo to tears.

Nate: my point is i had no right to train my pokemon like that, theyre living beings, not tools for battle. i had to loose to a good friend of mine a few times before i caught that. and ultimately my pokemon are stronger because of it, i went and found all the pokemon i had released and apologized. some rejoined me, and others didnt. but they all forgave me. and i dont doubt that they would help me in a crisis if i needed it. though i had to prove it painstakingly to a few, i legitimately feel remorseful for how i treated them.

Navy: whoopee, so you all had a big pity party, whats that go to do with me?

Nate: everything, the bond between a pokemon and trainer is one based on trust. do you trust your pokemon to come through for you in a crisis, or would they abandon you?

Navy: dont care, id just catch stronger ones if they did.

Nate: your so naive, purrloin finish this with fury swipes!

Navy: use brine!

purrloin dodges and hits cubchoo five times,

Nate: again!

Navy: hit it this time!

The result is the same, and cubchoo faints.

Judge: well after a heart felt testimony and a thrilling battle, Nate Orange from pallet town is the winner!
Judge: Here you are Nate, take this stone set, containing one of each evolutionary stone known in unnova!

Nate: thanks sir.

Navy has returned his pokemon and healed them, and has prepared to leave town. he is wading through the crowd, when a voice rings out above the noise!

?: people of accumula town, we are team plasma, and we desire peace for people and pokemon, we urge you to release your pokemon, let them live life how they would naturally, and remove yourselves from them, the best thing you can do to love them is to seperate from them! go ahead and join us, show your loyalty to peace by releasing your pokemon.

Crowd person: just who are you?

Ghetsis: i am ghetsis, one of the seven sages of team plasma! we as brokers of peace and love urge you to heed our words and make peace with your pokemon by releasing them. you have all just witnessed a tyranical show of how we oppress pokemon and use them to battle for our pleasure. are you not disgusted by this?

Crowd persons murmur about the speech.

Ghetsis: please just think on what you have seen and heard today. we at team plasma bid you a good evening and a better tomorrow!

*exit team plasma*

Navy: what a lame brain, how can i be the strongest without a pokemon?

Nate: that dude has no idea what he is talking about.

Crimson: did you see the pokeballs on his belt? he talks about releasing them but he still has "captive pokemon" with him.

Gray: yea, so did those knight looking guys with him.

Nate: he needs to practice what hes preaching.

Crimson: so now what?

Gray: we could go train?

Nate: oh yea, heres your purrloin back gray.

Gray: thanks. i feel bad about taking it back, you and it work together so well.

Nate: keep at it, youll have that level of connection with it one day.

Crimson: so do we head for the next town?

Nate: its kinda late, we should rest here and head out in the morning.

Gray: sounds good.

Crimson: ill go get a room at the center.

Gray: i gotta go call my parents and let them know where we are.

Nate: haha i used to do that at each center i got too.

Gray and Crimson head to the center, Nate stands in the square thinking about his journey in kanto, and all he did then.

N: your testimony during that battle was truly moving. i wonder, can you talk to your pokemon?

Nate: huh?

N: can you hear what your pokemons voices say of you?

Nate: ummm no. i think id be a psychic if i could do that.

N: well then, may i listen to their voices?

Nate: sure i guess?

He sends out charizard.

N puts his hand on charizards head.

he looks lost in thought for a few moments.

N: i see. your bond is very strong. not likely to ever be broken. you two have been throug a lot.

Nate: yea, this charizard was the charmander prof oak gave me a long time ago.

N: i see. it was the first pokemon you befriended.

Nate: yea actually. but i dont think you could say we were really friends until it became charizard and i wisened up.

N: i see. your charizard doesnt see it that way. were you aware?

Nate: really? i had no idea. figures the big lug would be that dense. he says laughing.

Charizard crosses its arms and turns its head, closing its eyes and snorting in faux offense.

N chuckles at the joke.

N: you are a very intersting trainer. i look forward to battling you as an equal one day.

Nate: who knows, win the unova league and maybe one day.

N: right, well i need to be going, i have somewhere to be. goodbye.

Nate: later dude.

he returns charizard, and goes inside the center, in the room where the trio is resting for the night Nate shows the other two his pokedex, and relates to them stories of pokemon he caught in kanto and his journey there in. they finally fall asleep in their respective bunks and snooze until the next morning, when they prepare to leave for the next leg of their journey in unova!

[Metal]

(as stated im going to change the format slightly, just to make things a. flow smoother, and b. less "time consuming" to write. this way i can progress the story without it taking like 15 chapters just to get to the first gym. btw that gym is getting skipped. because idt anyone wants to read about cilan, chili, and cress getting owned by dieno. anyways. the format of each chapter will stay the same, what with the dialogue and the actions and what not. however before each chapter there will be narration by crimson (or the protag for that chapter, in the event i give a trainer (such as say Navy) a solo chapter to flesh him/her out better. for this chapter it will be crimson. moving on to the actual story now.))

Man the past few days have been adventure filled. This is Crimson by the way, to anyone who had been following my adventure before. to fill you in a little bit, we made it to Straiton city, but the gym was closed, so we went to the Dream yard to train. had to beat up some team galactic goons that were trying to bother the pokemon that live there. Gray seemed to really connect with one of the munna we rescued. maybe he will go back and capture it later. anyways, after that the gym leaders wanted to battle us. haha i was so nervous for my first gym battle. oshawott and minccino got to sit out, as i needed to practice battling with dieno. Cilan ended up seeming like a pushover though, deino was unstoppable haha. i feel like he is gonna be a power house. Gray won with purrloin, and Nate.... well charizard may not have been the right choice. it nearly burnt down the gym. we had to leave town after that to avoid trouble. after that we made it too nacrene city and challenged lenora. man can she battle. anyways, during our gym battles and the training we did on the way, everyone had at least one pokemon evolve. oshawott.. well dewott now, got a lot stronger. so did servine and pignite. and Nates lilipup became herdier. sure glad nate had witnessed evolution before. gray was kinda freaked out by it. nate really helped to calm him down. anyway after that we all had two badges under our belt. we made the trek to pinwheel forest, on our way to the next badge... and well... thats when Lavender showed up....

Chapter 8: VS Lavender and Swadloon


Lavender: Crim! do you have any idea how long it took to get here riding a lapras?! i could have drowned you know!

Crimson: hey Lav calm down, i was gonna tell you i was starting my journey in Unova honest.

Gray: who is she?

Nate: no idea. she looks like someone i know back in kanto, but i cant place who.

Gray: shouldn't we do something?

Nate: nah, this is Crimson's problem. let him sort it out.

Gray: oh okay...

Nate: c'mon, lets give them some room. *to crimson* Catch ya in a few dude!

Crimson: huh? hey wait, where are you guys going? dont leave me hanging!

Gray: sorry dude, we aren't involved.

Crimson:.... some friends.

Lavender: stop trying to change the subject. you could've at least called me and told me you were starting in Unova.

Crimson: huh? oh right. i didn't think your dad would go for the idea, so i didn't call.

he says looking down at the blue and yellow (hg ss model) pokegear on his bag strap.

Lavender: the whole reason he was even gonna let me go on a journey was because we were gonna start together. its a good thing Navy is already here training or they wouldn't have let me come. i just can't believe that you broke our promise.

Crimson: what promise.... oh yea! the one to start our journey together. look Lav i really am sorry. i didn't say anything because i didn't want you to get upset.

Lavender: which clearly didn't work. so maybe you should stop being such an idiot!

Crimson: right... *sigh*

Lavender: don't sigh at me. your the culprit here. i am but an innocent victim.

she does that innocent anime face with the big eyes and the sparkles in the background.

Crimson: you make it sound worse than it is...

Lavender: because you don't seem to care at all! this was important to me, i had to rush here, rush through getting in the league, skip getting a starter pokemon because someone took two of them, and to top that off, i had to breeze through the first to gyms just to catch up. do you have any idea how stressful that was? i swear its like you dont care about me at all Crim!

she begins to cry.

Crimson: hey Lav c'mon dont cry! its okay now right? you caught up and we can travel together. i really am sorry. ill make it up to you i promise!

she continues to sob.

suddenly a pokemon ranger comes zipping past nate and gray, who are resting in a clearing ahead waiting on Crimson to catch up.

Gray: that guy was in a rush.

Nate: he was a pokemon ranger, seems like they always are.

Gray: i guess?

Nate: oh right sorry, i keep forgetting you dont know much besides nuvema town.

they both laugh and resume their conversation about battle strategy.

the ranger runs up and brushes crimson aside.

Ranger Dave: stand aside foul villian. thou hast made this young maiden cry. cease your tears fair maiden, you are in the bountiful care of Pokemon Ranger Dave! i shall fill thine heart with gladness and sunshine.

Crimson *thinking*: is this guy for real? that is the cheesiest dialogue i've ever heard.

Crimson: hey you've got it wrong, we were talking and she just started crying. i didnt do anything to hurt her.

Ranger Dave: silence foul villian, thou art a scoundrel and a liar. whatst pleasure dost thou derive from making maidens such as this young flower cry.

Crimson: look dude, i didnt do anything. and besides that, who are you just swooping in like some kind of hero?

Ranger Dave: Ranger Dave dost need no introduction, but an introduction he shall have!

*cue crappy intro music that tries to sound cool*

Ranger Dave: i am a man, who needeth not an introduction, villanous men hear my voice and tremble, the scoundrel flees at the sight of me, and fair maidens send their hearts my way, hoping to catch a glimpse of my smile. i am... Pokemon Ranger Dave!

*cue ginyu force pose*

Crimson: right, so you just swoop in and save the day everytime a girl cries. dont you have pokemon to save or team plasma grunts to fight?

Lavender: your such an insensitive jerk crim! at least he is trying to help.
she says in between sobs.

Ranger Dave: thine maiden has spoken villain! getst thou away.

Crimson: alright thats it. first off, take your hands off her. she isnt trying to be held or coddled, secondly, i think its time your battling skills backed up your talk.

Crimson grabs dewotts pokeball.

Crimson: come on out dewott. lets show this joker whose boss.

Dewott leaps into action from its ball "dewott!" it yells grabbing its scalchops.

Ranger Dave: ah a water type. then i shall choose... Swadloon!

swadloon comes out looking all chill and swadloon like "swaaaaaddd loooon." it says in singsongish harmony.

Lavender: awwwww its sooooo cute!

Crimson: Lav stop siding with the enemy....

he says taken aback, doing that thing where anime characters fall over.

Crimson: one on one battle, no substitutions. first pokemon to faint loses.

Ranger Dave: challenge away villain, i am justice, and justice shall prevail this day!

Crimson: Dewott use razor shell!

Dewott moves to attack, swiping at swadloon with its scallchops.

Swadloon takes the attack. but doesnt seem fazed.

Crimson: huh? its a bug type right? that should've done way more damage!

Ranger Dave: haha! i have toldest thou, justice is own mine side.

Crimson: yea yea.

he pulls out his pokedex, and checks swadloons stats.

Crimson: oh its bug and grass... makes sense i guess. alright then, Dewott, use fury cutter!

Ranger Dave: that move wontst work either fool, tis a bug type move!

Crimson: yea except fury cutter gets stronger if used consecutively. so if i just keep using it it wont matter.

Ranger Dave: egads! thou hadst foundeth mine weak point so easily! Swadloon, use megadrain!

Swadloon starts spitting out green bubbles at dewott, which will sap his health if they make contact.

Crimson: dewott, dodge it, keep using fury cutter!

Ranger Dave: swadloon, keep using mega drain!

after about five consecutive minutes of this, dewott emerges victorious. though it managed to take a few hits, which were super effective, and swadloon managed to eat some of the bubbles to recover, eventually a fully powered fury cutter got through and fainted it.

Crimson: ah yea! dewott return!

Ranger Dave: no! tis not possible! the great Ranger Dave defeated by a villainous child? how?!

Crimson: listen Lav, i promise once we are done in Unova, we can start a journey together in johto just me and you just like i promised when we were kids okay?

Lavender: really? do you mean it?

Crimson: yea, it wasnt that i didnt want to travel with you, i just didnt think your parents would let you come to unova, and i didnt want to make you cry.

Lavender: crim your such a softy. dont think youve made this up to me yet though. your still in hot water.

Crimson: sure....


Crimson *thinking* ah no. i thought for sure that wouldve got her off my case... guess she isnt gonna leave me alone till we travel though johto together like i promised. oh well. at least she doesnt want to kill me anymore.

Ranger Dave: hey your not actually a villain, and this was just a lovers quarrel? why didnt you just say so?

Crimson: dude i tried like six times. hey wait what heppened to your voice?

Ranger Dave: oh that? sorry i kind of put on that act to mess with team plasma. it really makes them mad since they think they are like benevolent knights or whatever. anyways ive gotta get back on patrol, im still getting used to this forest, i was in the desert resort patrolling relic castle before this, still havent gotten used to the humidity in the air, so the breather was nice. oh hey by the way, you seem like a competent trainer kid, do you want to take this egg? i found it in relic castle, and ive been taking care of it, but this route has a lot more traffic than the relic castle did so i dont really have the time to properly care for it.

Crimson: sure, any idea what type of pokemon it contains?

Dave: nope none. i was hoping itd hatch so i could find out. no luck though. i will say the room in the castle i found it in, had a painting with a large moth like pokemon that looked like the sun though. maybe itll hatch into that.

Crimson takes the egg.

Crimson: guess ill find out. oh hey, here let me register you in my pokegear, ill call you when it hatches and let you know what it hatched into.

Dave: awesome. oh hey, call me if you see any suspicious people or team plasma grunts in the forest too.

Crimson: will do. later dude.

Ranger Dave swings away on a vine that seemingly came out of nowhere.


Lavender: what a peculiar fellow.

Crimson: right peculiar. anyways im sure my friends are ready to get a move on. lets go and ill introduce you.

a few minutes later, introductions are done, and everyone is happily laughing and joking. all the pokemon they have with them are let out of their balls. Lavenders pokemon blow gray away, as he had only ever seen unova pokemon up close, barring Nate's charizard and Lance's dragonite of course.

after some talking the group decides to camp out in the woods for the night, then resume their journey in the morning.
