Out in the middle of the ocean, waves lashed violently against a boat. "'eave men, 'eave! We' must tame this beast!" The Capitan bellowed as his mates used the last of their strength to contain the monster.

With a giant roar from its mouth, it flailed, trying with every ounce of its own strength to escape the chains clutches. With no avail, and too exhausted to fight back, it collapsed back into the water, spitting out any remaining water from the blowhole.

"Good, the lass has decided t' give up." Captain grinned with greed as he walked down the whales back holding a strange contraption.

Feeling the cold metal hit its forehead, its eyes widened before everything went black. "Riona…"

…

We stood at the battle field; awaiting to see which one of our pokemon would win, my Aron or her Camerupt. Combusken, not exactly elated to see that I put him on the side, stood there grudgingly as he watched my tiny little Aron fight against a creature 2-3 times her size. As Camerupt began to build up some form of fire move, Aron began creating an earthquake that we trained for some time for her to learn.

Lifting up her two tiny legs, she touched the ground with a great thud as everyone but her tried to remain on their feet. Unfortunately, Combusken was affected by the attack, he didn't faint but I could tell he might kick Aron. After this long drawn out battle, Camerupt fell to the ground, to weak to fight back.

"Well…' She said, probably quite surprised that something so small could make so much damage. "That was a rather interesting battle, I've never seen such a tiny little Aron create so much damage, even the walls are cracked." She was right, cracks carved into the walls, probably over half of it as well.

"Sorry about that…" I replied, however, she simply shrugged, a sheepish smile replaced by surprise. "Don't worry about it, we've installed a frame that can sustain 8. Earthquakes, your Aron probably made about a 6-7 so there's nothing really to worry about."

It had been two weeks since that battle. "Alright one more try Combusken, and this time, aim for the head." Responding to my command with a nod, Combusken charged towards Kirlia, readying his claws for a nice slashing. Slashing Kirlia across the face, he stood there triumphantly, knowing he had already won the battle.

"Combusken! calm down, this isn't a competition…"

He screeched in complaint, telling me that he wasn't exactly happy I ruined his fun.

I sighed, slightly exasperated that he was such a troublesome pokemon to have, especially because his fighting obsession would eventually disappear, at least I hope it does. "You know you should listen to her… I highly doubt that you would want to piss of your tamer, who I might want to remind you, gives you baths."

Ah Dorumon you always pull through for me. He looked up to me, probably expecting me to continue with the threat. "Yes Combusken, I said you could train but any further and you'll get a bath."

Flinching, he lowered his clawed wing. "Yes ma'am." He squwaked.

"Good, now it's time for lunch, I would hate for the others to get grouchy."

"Plus we should begin to think about traveling back to the Hoenn region, you've just defeated the fourth gym leader, so we should continue on with the fifth." I sighed, knowing already that I needed to continue, but I started to feel as if I was giving up hope… especially because walking with just pokemon eventually becomes uneventful and boring.

"Alright, lunch and then we fly back, how about that?" Stating a negotiation he just could never resist. "Alright, lunch, and then we get back on the road."

But as we traveled back to the house, the ground began to shake. We weren't actually that far from the cliff on this island either.

"An earthquake? Father said that there weren't any hotspots near here… unless…" We looked at the volcano, generally a Magmar inside could become angered, but this didn't feel normal... After it stopped, we looked around.

Nothing was too severely damaged, although I couldn't be too sure. Walking around part of the island, I didn't find anything too damaged, although this was bad, if this earthquake subducts, we could get a nasty Tsunami… Not long after the previous event, the earthquake came back, but this time water spouted upward, light shining within.

Hearing a high pitched scream, waves flew from a cliff on the side of an island, and… oh horse feathers…

"Ow.. ow… ouch…" Standing back onto my feet I felt something role off. Another scream followed, this time Dorumon shot out an explosive metal to hit the unidentifiable object and it almost fell off of the cliff.

"What the hell was that?"

"A Renamon?" Dorumon stated, seeing the Renamon rub her stomach. "A tam-"

I was cut off, "You are…."

"Long time, no see... Sira?"

Oh sweet mother of mercy…
