Before him sprawled over the horizon was a huge city. With a huge light house, a great market and the battle frontier next door, Olivine city was pretty famous. The sea air stung his throat, but he loved it, it reminded him of home. Thomas had been born on three island, his dad was a well known trainer, who now ran his own training centre. As he was riding on his old friend's Lapras he needed a safe place to get off. He chose an old looking part of the dock as it was closest. He stept off of Lapras for the first time in two days. He took that moment to breathe in the johto air.
Thomas had arrived. He said a quick goodbye to Lapras and gave her a treat for taking him all this way from Sinnoh. She smiled at him and she was off on her way back home to three island. Thomas started to wonder around this old part off town when he heard voices. Not in the Johto accent he was expecting but in a definite Hoenn accent. He did not want to be rude but he had a quick look around the corner anyway.
There were what seemed to be a group of sailors but on their stripy tops was an A symbol. Thomas had seen that logo before. But where?
Got it, he had seen it in Team Magma's hideout. They were Team Aqua, Team Magma's enemy. What were they doing here? But before he could find out he was spotted. One of the group turned around and saw him. Thomas began to run, "Hey, get the Kid" the leader if the small group yelled. Thomas instinctively reached for a pokeball from his belt when each of the six burly men sent out a Crawdaunt. He first sent out Luxray, the black Pokemon began to yawn before he realised what was happening. Thomas told him to use Thunder which he did, blowing away two Crawdaunts before he was hit by a powerful Crabhammer. He was down in one hit, these guys meant buissnes Thomas then sent out his Sinnoh starter, Torterra. The huge turtle pokemon roared clearly startling a grunt. Torterra quickly used razor leaf, decimating the four remaining Crawdaunts with ease. The crab Pokemon's jets of water were useless against the leaf monster. One of the Team Aqua members was so angry, he made his Pokemon fire an ice beam into the circle the Crawdaunts had made around Torterra.
The ice beam flew into the circle and nearly missed Torterra, just hitting his strong shell, it bounced off and shot straight at Thomas hitting him full force in the chest flinging him into the Sea.
As Thomas sunk he thought how could this be the end? He was doing so well, how could he die in the sea? If he could move he would be out no problem but he was frozen and sunk to the bottom fully expecting Team Aqua to have got away while he died.
Thomas woke with a jolt. He first thought he was on Lapras but he soon remembered. He didn't dare to open his eyes. He could be dead and in heaven. But he needed to find out. Thomas opened his eyes. He was in a hospital with a Young girl around his age sitting next to him. He looked at her for a second and she smiled at him. Did he know her? He didn't think so. Had he lost part of his memory? She called for a doctor who thankfully came quickly and explained everything.
While Thomas had been battling Team Aqua the girl had called the Police who arrived moments later and caught the criminals in the act of stealing a boat and making off with valuable research equipment stolen from a team of scientists studying the Olivine harbour She had then dragged him out of the water and got him to the hospital safely were she had stayed the whole three days he had been unconscious.
Thomas began thanking her but she said it was Ok, He would have done the same thing for her. She told him her name was Abbie and she was in Olivine to train her Pokemon. He met three of her Pokemon who had waited with her in the Hospital. First there was Ivy her Ivysaur her first pokemon she had ever got. Then there was her poliwhirl she had caught in Kanto and Bayleaf her starter she had recieved when she arrived in Johto.
Thomas explianed how he had already beaten all the gyms in Kanto, Hoenn and Sinnoh and now aimed at beating Johto's best and the Elite four. Thomas looked up and saw that the girl was crying he wiped the tear off of her cheek and told her he was alright. She then said in a nervous voice. "Could I come with you Thomas?" Thomas was a little surprised and asked her why. In a shakey voice she told him that with only three pokemon she wasn't safe to travel. He accepted as he wanted to let her travel like he could.
The next day Thomas was let out of Hospital and the new friends set off to Ecruteak city for Thomas' first Johto Gym battle
