Second Chapter. I'm so excited to actually be writing. Please leave me comments below. I like crittism, it helps me improve my writing. Do we have to say, "I don't own Pokemon"? I think it's dumb. But if I have to, I'll do it. Anyway, enjoy

"Can't you stay a while longer? I'm going to miss you so much" .These were the words of Aunt Elisha, Jalob's Aunt who he was staying with in Accumula Town before he got his Pokemon Snivy.

"Sorry Aunt Elisha.. I've got to get going. I want to start my journy as soon as possible." This was the voice of Jalob Hader. He wore a blue long sleeve shirt, and gray and white track pants. "But I promise you, as soon as I have a flying pokemon, I'll come here and visit you."

"Ok. Come back as soon as you get a Flying Pokemon. Do you have everything"?

"Yep"

"Calander?"

"Yep"

"Repels?"

"Yep"

"Snivy"

"Of course I have Snivy."

"I just wanted to be sure."

"Alright. I'm leaving now. Bye Aunt Elisha."

"Bye Jalob."

Jalob headed out the door and started toward the exit of town. All of a sudden, a voice called out "WATCH OUUT!" Then Jalob was pushed to the ground."

"Owww" Jalob whimpered. As he looked behind him to see what had knocked hi down, he found out it wasn't a what, but a who.

What he saw was a girl about 14 years old. She had redish orangeish hair, and purple eyes. She wore a shirt that was more pink than purple, and shorts more purple than pink. She wore sandels that were again more pink than purple.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry that happened! Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I think so. You ok?" Jalob inquired.

"Yeah. Thanks for breaking my fall," she grinned as she said this, but the smile quickly faided, as she said, "Too soon?"

"No, it's fine." Then suddenly, a thought came to Jalob's mind. "You want to battle?"

"No, I'll easily beat you"

"Someone's cocky"

"No really. I came from Johto. All my Pokemon are evolved and really high leveled."

"I'm sorry if I don't believe you, but I would really like to see"

"Fine." The ginger girl pulled out a pokeball and threw it, yelling "Go Typhlosion!" A Pokemon appeared before them, standing tall and large. "TYPLOSION!" yelled out the Pokemon that Jalob had never seen before.

"Alright Typhlosion, use Flamethrower up in the sky!"

"TYPHLOSION!" Typhlosion screamed. What Jalob saw next was very impressive indeed: Typhlosion spurted a red hot stream of flame from it's mouth up into the air.

As the flames dissipated, Jalob looked back to the girl. "You were right. I'm sorry that I didn't believe you".

"That's alright. When I travelled in Sinoh, no one believed me either. Come on. Lets walk to Route 2"

"Ok. What's your name? I don't believe you've said your name"

"My name is Zoey", Zoey said as she stuck out her hand.

"Nice to meet you. My name's Jalob."

"Nice to meet you". Zoey and Jalob shook hands. "Ewww, your hand is sweaty!" Zoey exclaimed with a playfully disgusted look on her face.

"Wow, you get close with people fast."

"I know. It's like a gift."

"Have you noticed that we haven't moved from this spot for a couple minutes now?" Both Jalob and Zoey looked around, and Jalob was right. They were at the exact spot that they had gotten up. A couple of people were staring at them. A couple of 12 year olds were snickering. No doubt they thought Jalob and Zoey were a couple.

"Let's get moving".

Jalob and Zoey started walking toward Route 2. As they walked trough the gate, the attendant said, "Welcome to Route 2. Have a good day you two". Jalob was mildly annoid. He hated it when people though he was a couple, because he got teased about it. He decided it wasn't worth getting mad at, and thanked the attendant, adding "You too".

They walked out and into the light. What they saw was green all around them. Trainers were walking all around, some battling, some talking. Jalob looked around and smiled.

Jalob and Zoey walked torwards the tall grass. All around, Jalob cold see Patrats eating berries, and Lillipups and Purrloins fighting. They were in the middle of the grass, when suddenly, many patches of grass started rustling. "Oh," said Jalob. "That must be a big Pokemon. I'm going to catch it. Go Snivy!" Jalob threw up the Pokeball containing Snivy.

"Sni" said the grass snake.

"Use Tackle on that shape in the grass!"

"I wouldn't do that Jalob!" Zoey warned.

But it was too late. Snivy threw himself at the big shape in the grass. All of a sudden, a loud "YEEOWW!" came from the grass. With out warning, Jacob sprang up.

"JACOB, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Jalob asked with surprise in his voice. His voice also cracked, so he knew that he would get teased later on.

"Looking for Pokemon" Jacob said. "And I already found two. Come on out Purloin and Lillipup!"

Jacob threw out two Pokeballs, and two Pokemon came out from each of them. A cat and a puppy.

Lilli" said Lillipup, while Purloin said "Pur".

"These are my Pokemon". Pointing at the dog Pokemon, Jacob said "I named him Fetcher", and pointing to Purloin, he said, "and her Glitzy".

"You do realize," said Zoey, "that glitzy means obvious, not showy?"

"Shut up whoeveryouare!" Jacob screamed. But then, sort of realizing his actions, he did the Jacob way of appoligizing to someone he never met: he asked for her name.

"Who are you?"

"I'm, you … you… JERK, Zoey!" Zoey shouted. Appearently, Zoey was either to nice to call Jacob something mean, or she was too mad to talk right.

All of a sudden, a shape swung down from a tree while saying "You guys are so loud. I bet all the people in the Kaantooo region can hear you".

"Be quiet, Trubbish smeller!" Jacob said, as he glared at Lilah.

"Vanillish Licker!" yelled Lilah.

"Darumaka waterer!"

"Basculin shocker!"

"JUST BE QUIET!" yelled Zoey. Lilah and Jacob looked at her. "YOU GUYS ARE GIVING ME A HEADACHE!"

"Sorry" Lilah said quietly. She instantly perked up though, as her friends were there. "Hey, I've never seen you before. What's your name?" Lilah swung down from the tree and landed on her feet. She stuck her hand out. "My name's Lilah."

"Pleasure to meet you". Zoey shook Lilah's hand. "Names Zoey"

"Enough chitchat", Jacob complained. "I want to battle you Jalob, and I won't lose this time!"

"Well", said Jalob, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I only have one Pokemon. Snivy."

"NO FAIR! YOU DID THAT SO I WOULDN'T BEAT YOU!"

"CALM DOWN!" Zoey yelled. "She must have had a younger brother at home", Jalob thought. "Why else would she not be able t tolerate this?"

"YOU WILL NOT BATTLE UNTIL JALOB IS GOOD AND READY! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!"

Jacob suddenly got very quiet. "Yes ma'am".

Zoey finally calmed down. "Very good. Now", she said with a smile, "why don't we walk to Striaton city?" She then looked directly at Jacob. "And no whining, got it?!"

"Yes ma'am" Jacob said.

As the group walked on, Jalob knew this adventure would be fun. The fact that Jacob was quiet was a good omen to Jalob.

So, how did you like that? Sorry it took so long, I had a lot going on. Tell me what I should do in the comments: Work on multiple stories at the same time, or finnish a story before starting another. As always, leave a comment so that I can improve my writing. Until next time, this is Pokemon Master 398, signing off. Peace.
