Chapter 2: Carter is a Joey
I watched in shock from my Pokeball, as he typed in the name of the trainer in Unova. His name was Blaize Hitwin. He only had three Pokemon, apart from Tirtouga, but I couldn't read their names in time, as my Pokeball was suddenly picked up and placed on a small pink cushion. There was a long tube above the Pokeball, which led into a wall. The cushion was on a pillar, about the size of brother Donphan, and the red haired trainer had a smirk on his face, as he kicked the pillar.
The Pokeball shook, before resting to a stop. I only got a quick look at the room around me, before the red haired trainer put his finger forcefully on the computer screen in front of him, and the Pokeball I was in was sucked up through the pipe above me. The Pokeball was thrown in all directions, but I wasn't for some reason. I witnessed quickly a room full of transparent pipes, similar to my own, before I saw the end of my trip, where there was a strange light blue wall. Just as I passed through it I felt strange, as if I had changed, then quickly changed back. I also saw a small blue turtle in a Pokeball travelling in the opposite direction, through another wall. We locked eyes for a second, before he disappeared, and I was sent into another room of pipes and such, and fell out of a pipe and onto a small pick cushion, on a pillar similar to the one from the other room. Instead of a red haired trainer looking back at me, however, but a smiling boy, no older than my previous 'trainer', with bright blue hair and three Pokeballs dangling from a sash across his chest. His green eyes stared into mine, and I could tell that he was nothing like my previous trainer. I couldn't help but feel sad for the Tirtouga, and the boy seemed to see it in my eyes.
"Don't worry about Tirtouga, Phanpy. He can fend for himself. He has an indestructible shell…I think…" Blaize smiled at me. He then put the Pokeball onto his sash, and walked away.
"Hey, kid, it's $10 for a cross regional trade!" yelled the Pokemon Center nurse, as Blaize ran incredibly quickly away from the Pokemon Center. He didn't stop until he reached the next town.
The sign above the Entrance read 'Nacrene City', and I could tell it was going to be very different than the previous cities I had been to in the Johto Region.
Straight up, Blaize entered a place labelled 'Nacrene Museum' and walked past all of the exhibits and into the back area, where there was a person standing in the way, mumbling something about 'Normal' 'Gym' and 'Lenora'. I pieced the rest together. Blaize slowly walked through the library looking area, until he saw a stepladder. He walked up it, and picked up a book at random and started reading it.
A large grin grew on his face when a piece of paper fell out of one of it's pages, and he continued on after grabbing it. He continued this process another time, until he encountered a stepladder blocked by a small boy.
"Can you move, please?" Blaize asked pleadingly, to which the boy took no notice.
"Only if we battle!" the boy said, finger outstretched and poking Blaize in the tip of the nose.
The 'screen' faded black, and the boy screamed aloud "I am Carter! I won't be looked down upon!"
He threw a Great Ball, which landed with a dull thud, and a small chipmunk jumped out. It's eyes looked almost hypnotic.
"Pa~tra~t!" it chimed, as it, too, pointed at Blaize.
"Er…go…Phanpy?" he said, as he threw my Pokeball at the ground, and I popped out.
I growled at the Patrat, who only chimed "Pa~tra~t!" again.

[ BATTLE END ]
"Patrat!" screamed a distraught Carter, as he returned the Pokemon to it's Great Ball and ran away in tears.
All Blaize did was smirk, as I was returned and he continued walking. One downside to being in a Pokeball is that you cannot see into other Pokeballs, eliminating some strategy.
Author's Note: Finally updated! Didn't honestly think this through a lot. Just a chapter to show the battling system I'll be using. Next chapter will reveal two of the three of Blaize's remaining Pokemon, and will feature up to the battle with Lenora. Please R and R.
