This is the second chapter of Pokémon Engo Region. In this chapter Thomas and Paul meet someone on Route 301 who likes to have a battle. Who is this trainer. Find out in this chapter.
Thomas and Paul where sitting on the ground around a campfire Thomas made.
Their Pokémon Snivy and Tepig, named Scorcher. Where laying next to their trainers.
"So tell me Paul where do you actually come from?" Thomas asked poking into the fire with a stick. "Well I actually come from Snowfall City. But after living their for 13 years now I decided the weather was too much for me. So I came to Siloph Town to get my starter and here I am" he told.
Thomas thought about his time in Siloph Town. He lived with Peter and the other residents for at least 3 years before he started his journey. Normally a trainer started his trainer at the age of 10. He was now 17 and he didn't start his journey because he thought he wasn't ready. He also thought about his old childhood friend in Siloph Town who mysteriously left when Thomas was 13 and was never seen again.
That was also a reason to go on this journey. And he was lucky to find a loyal companion like Paul.
"Well I'm glad to find a good friend like you Thomas. Maybe we can find a few other friends. I mean only us two, do you really think we can face the whole Engo League" Paul said. Thomas thought for a while "I guess your right at that man. But we just have to wait and see what happens" he said finally.
2 Hours Later….
It was almost midnight. But both of them where still wide awake.
Paul told about his town Snowfall City. A place where it almost always snowed. Apparently there was also a gym in that city.
"But where are we going first?" Paul asks. Thomas pulls a map out of his bag and lays it on the ground. "Well we are now on Route 301, if we walk trough tomorrow we arrive in Coran City about tomorrow morning" Thomas says.
Then suddenly they hear a scream…
They look to the bushes and see someone running trough them screaming. It was a boy from about 16 years. He had black hair, wore blue jeans and he had a scar on his right cheek. He also wore a grey jacket.
"Look out there coming" the boy yelled and then several Pokémon came out of the bushes.
It where Petilil.
"What did you do to make them so mad?" Thomas asked. "I accidently stepped on one when I was walking in the dark" the boy said.
Paul stepped forward and called Scorcher by his side. "Scorcher use Ember" he said and the attack sent all the Petilil running away. Except for one. Apparently the leader.
"I know how to handle this guy" Paul says confident. The Petilil sprays out a green powder. "Its Sleep Powder" the boy yells. Scorcher uses a powerful ember and blows the sleep powder away and hitting Petilil.
"Poke ball go!" Paul says and throws a poke ball at Petilil. The ball captures the Pokémon and falls to the ground. It shakes a few times and then stops.
Paul happily walks to the poke ball and picks it up. He had caught a Petilil.
"Well done Paul" Thomas claps before turning to the boy "now who are you?" he asks.
The boy gasped and sat down. "My name is Lyell. I come from Silvermoon City. I challenged the gym leader there but lost. So I came here to catch some new Pokémon and hopefully defeat the gym leader again. And then I stepped on one of those Petilil and that is where I am now" he told.
"Alright then. And where are you going?" Paul asked. "Well now I'm looking for someone to battle, a rookie trainer. And you…" he pointed at Thomas "you fit the bill perfectly. So I want a battle" Lyell said.
Thomas looked a little bit confused at first but later said "alright then I accept" both trainers walked a few steps away from each other and each grabbed their poke balls.
"Go Blitzle" Lyell yelled and the Zebra Pokémon came out. "Go Snivy" Thomas called and his signature and only Pokémon appeared.
"Let the battle begin" Paul called as referee.
"Alright Blitzle use Spark" Lyell yelled and the Zebra Pokémon began to glow with sparks and ran towards Thomas his Snivy.
Thomas didn't say anything. And Blitzle came closer and closer, the grin on Lyell's face grew wider. But then Thomas suddenly said "Snivy use Cut" and Snivy opened his eyes and his paw glowed. With a strike he blew a strike to Blitzle who stopped dead in its tracks.
"Oh no" Lyell yelled and Thomas grinned. Blitzle now stood behind Snivy, the Pokémon grinned. "Quickly Blitzle use Thunder Wave" Lyell yelled. Blitzle was powering up his attack.
"Snivy use Leaf Tornado" Thomas said and a big tornado of leafs appeared from Snivy's tail and hit Blitzle directly. The Zebra Pokémon fell down to the ground.
Lyell's grin instantly fainted and he began to worry.
"Blitzle stand up and use Shock Wave" Lyell yelled. With a lot of trouble Blitzle stood up and charged its attack. The wave of electricity began to reach Snivy until Thomas said "Leaf Tornado once again" and Snivy made another Leaf Tornado.
The attack totally obliterated Blitzle's attack. Lyell stood there surprised and Thomas grinned "now Snivy finish him off with a Cut" he said. And once again Snivy's paw glowed and he hit Blitzle directly, knocking the Pokémon out.
Lyell recalled Blitzle disappointed and Paul said "Thomas is the winner" Thomas smiled and recalled Snivy saying "good job Snivy."
Lyell walked over to Thomas and said "you just got yourself a rival pal. I may have lost now, but I will get stronger and when I do I will find you and beat you. Because I will be the best, I will be the champion and I will…." He stopped when Paul grabbed a poke ball and took out his Petilil ""alright Whipper calm this guy down" Paul says and Whipper uses sleep powder. Causing Lyell to fall down to the ground and to fall asleep.
"Now let's get away from here" Paul says. Thomas nods and they grab there stuff and ran away.
A few hours later….
The dawn came over the horizon and Thomas walked out of the bushes and looked forwards.
The entrance to the next city was there before him. The city known as Ecador Town.
"A finally we are at Ecador Town. How's it going Paul?" Thomas asked. Paul came down out of the bushes. His entire legs where soaked in mud and Thomas couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't laugh at me. It was not fun stepping in that pool of mud" Paul said irritated. "Well I warned you about it" Thomas said and laughed again.
Paul smiled "laugh all you want. But I have now 2 Pokémon, Scorcher and Whipper. So who's laughing now" he said and walked to the entrance.
Thomas just grinned and followed his friend.
So that was chapter 2. Sorry it took so long, I was busy with other stories. In the next chapter: Someone will hold a speech in Ecador Town, who is it. And will Thomas get his second Pokémon. Find out in chapter 2.
