Unova Battles

Chapter 1: Friends Reuniting

13 year old Molly got out of bed excitedly.

Why?: Today she gets to go on her own journey with her 5 other friends. But before she can do so, she needed to choose which starter pokemon will accompany her as a pokemon coordinator.

"Um… Professor Juniper…. I'm here to choose my starter pokemon?".

"I'm out here, and please hurry!" Her tone worries Molly, so she rushed outside.

"Oh Molly! Thank goodness you're here! Something terrible just happened!" Turns out a Piplup, Pansage, and Panpour went missing. Molly decided to first start looking for the lost Piplup. "I'm going to start looking for Piplup."

"Thanks so much, Molly!", Profesor Juniper said happily.

By the time she was on the main road, she found Piplup. However, she saw a truck heading straight for the unsuspecting Piplup. Molly managed to push Piplup out of the way. The truck passed by. " Piplupip!", said the Piplup cheerfully. "Are you okay little Piplup?", Molly asked. Piplup gave her a nod. That relieved Molly.

Molly and Piplup went to the nearest pokemon center to tell Professor Juniper the good news. "Thank you so much for finding Piplup. I knew you could do it!"

Then for a moment, things went silent.

"I also got word that Pansage and Panpour had been found. They are already traveling with two other trainers."

Molly was glad that Pansage and Panpour already have new friends.

"Now on to another important subject. I already gave you your 5 extra pokeballs and pokedex before you left because I had a hunch..."

Things went silent fore a moment again.

"Are you and Piplup getting along?"

For a moment, Molly was thinking of what to tell her. She doesn't know what Piplup thinks of her. Then again, when she first saw Piplup's face, she actually looked glad to see her. Especially because of the fact that Piplup didn't run when Molly took her to the pokemon center and handed her to Nurse Joy and Audino for treatment.

"Yes, yes we are!", Molly finally said.

"Would you like Piplup to travel with you?"

Molly didn't have to think long on that question.

She practically screamed the word,"YES!"

"Great! I'll send Piplup's pokeball right over."

Soon there was a pokeball next to the video phone.

Moly reached for it, picked it up, and put it in her pocket.

"Alright, then! We're all set. I wish you two good luck on future contests. Good bye, Molly!"

"Bye, Professor Juniper!"

The screen went black.

"I'm happy to say, Piplup is feeling just fine now!", said Nurse Joy. "Audino!", said her Audino.

Molly spun around, feeling a little startled. She quickly recovered once she saw the joyful Piplup.

"Thank you so much!"

They both left the pokemon center. Molly explained everything that was discussed earlier to Piplup, and she was happy with Molly's decision. She was soon called back to her pokeball.

Molly and Piplup was a little impatient waiting for her friends, and before they knew it, they won three contests in three nearby cities.

They won the first two thanks to a Leafeon, which they befriended because of the fact that she was attracted to on of their training sessions. The third one was won with a little help from a Wurmple, which they befriended after they saved Wurmple from three mean Oshawott. In the final round of that contest, Wurmple evolved into Silcoon. And in a training session, Silcoon evolved into Beautifly.

While Molly was traveling in a forest leading to the place where the six of them will meet, Acumula Town, a Chimchar leaped on her head. That made her shreek. She was about to throw him off, when a familliar voice shouted, "Stop!" She turned around to see who it was. It turns out to be her friend, Gil. "Oh, hi Gilly. You startled me!" "Sorry about that.", he said. "Is this Chimchar yours?"

"Sure is!", Gil said as Chimchar leaped onto his shoulder. Chimchar waved a shy hello. "Nice to meet you!", said Molly. "Do you have any badges yet, Gilly?"

"Of course I do!", he said as he showed her his badge case. The case has four badges.

"Neat! Check out my ribbons." Her own ribbon case has her three ribbons earned from those contests.

"That's cool! We should start heading to Acumula Town to find the others.", Gil reminded her.

"Oh, right. I forgot."

They first decide to go to the museum for any luck to find Deema, Goby, Oona, and Nonny.
