Jason woke up surprisingly early that morning. He let out a yawn, stretched , used the bathroom and then woke Zorua up for some training.

"If we wanna win that Flight Badge you have to be in shape." Jason smirked "So let's find a pokemon to battle."

Zorua yawned and nodded following his trainer into the forest. Jason looked around for a opponet but nothing peaked his interest. There mainly grass and bug pokemon, who didn't look to strong.

"Man isn't there anything worth fighting?"

'Lu,' came a cool voice.

Jasona nd Zorua turned to face a strange blue canine pokemon that appeared to be wearing a black mask. It's red eyes glared at Zorua with intensity.

Jason decided to use his pokedec on this pokemon, whipping it out he pointed it at it.

Riolu, Sex: Male Type: Fighting Ability: Steadfast Moves: Aura Sphere and Quick Attack, and Force Palm.

Riolu, the Emanation Pokémon. It has the peculiar power of being able to see emotions such as joy and rage in the form of waves.

(NOTE:In my region Riolu aren't that rare.)

Jason decided to check Zorua out to as he pointed it at him,

Zorua, Sex: Male Type: Dark Ability: Illusion Moves: Scratch, Shadow Ball and Night Daze.

Zorua, the Tricky Fox Pokémon. It disguises itself as people and other Pokémon. It protects itself from danger by keeping its own true form hidden.

"Alright, Zorua use Scratch!" ordered Jason.

'Zor,' Zorua growled launching at Riolu with his paws gloowing white ready to claw his foes eyes out. Riolu was quick though, so quick infact he was behind Zorua in minutes firing of Aura Sphere after Aura Sphere.

'Zooor!' Zorua growled in pain shakily standing to his feet before firing off his Shadow Balls. Riolu wasn't fazed though as he deflected the Shadwo Balls using Force Palm. Riolu even used Zorua's Shadow Balls to his advantage by sending the attack right back.

"Come on Zorua you can do it boy!" Jaosn cheered. Man that's one strong pokemon...come on Zorua!

'Zor,' Zorua growled picking himself 's eyes began to glow light blue as it's body became surrounded by a crimson aura. Zorua then raised his forlegs, the aura around them growing thicker he then slammed his forlegs onto the ground unleashing a pink and crimson glowing forcefield that appeared from the aura,

The attack shot at the shocked Riolu not only knocking Riolu off his feet but Jason also. The force was so strong Riolu skidded backwards slamming head first into a tree and falling unconscious.

'Rua,' smirked the fox pokemon before fainting.

Jason headed over to Zorua and scooped him up onto his shoulder "Hang in there, buddy." Jason then walked over to Riolu ready to pull out a pokeball...only he didn't have any. Sighing Jason grabbed Riolu and tossed him over his shoulder.

"To the pokemon center we go."

Around fifteen minutes later Jason arrived at the pokemon center; exhausted from havign to carry both Zorua and Riolu. Nurse Joyce seeing him smiled widely but then noticed the situtation and called for her pokemon which was a Meganium.

Meganium lifted the pokemon onto her back and rushed into the back careful not to let the pokemon fall. Nurse Joyce then turned to Jason with a soft expression.

"They'll be all healed up soon." she smiled "I can deliver them to your room; you look exhausted."

Jason nodded and gave a thanks before walking off towards his room. Jazz was laying on the couch watching TV while Larvitar napped at the end.

"Hey." Jason greeted with a yawn. "Did I wake you?"

"No." Jazz smiled "Where's Zorua?" she asked lookinga round for him.

Jason frowned "I took him into the forest fo some training." he then flopped down on his bed "And we ran into a really strong Riolu who had the advantage on Zorua until he used this strange move."

Jazz nodded before going back to her TV show ocasionally glancing down at Larvitar to make sure he was alright.

Jason fell alseep in a matter of minutes, however it didn't seem he was asleep that long before a loud knock on the door made him awake. He looked and found Jazz and Larvitar missing.

"Just a minute!" Jason sighed getting out of bed and dragging himself to the door. Jason opened the door only to be tackled to the groudn by a happy little fox pokemon.

"Zorua? your looking better." Jason laughed petting his fluffy fur. He looked up to see Nurse Joyce smiling down at him holding a pokeball. "Here's your other pokemon."

Jason hopped to his feet and thanked Nurse Joyce but as he was about to shut the door she stopped him.

"Here." she said handing him some extra pokeballs "They'll come in handy."

"Cool thanks, Joyce." Jason winked before shutting the door. Jason then Riolu out of his pokeball before heading to the couch to see what was on TV; nothing good.

"Hey." Jazz greeted entering the room with Larvitar and a strange teal plump pokemon.

Jason pulled out his pokedex and pointed it at the pokemon to see what information he could get on it, other than the fact it was overweight.

Munchlax, Sex: Male Type: Normal Ability: Thick Fat Moves: Focus Punch, Metrenome , Solar Beam and Tackle.

I'd hate to get tackled by that thing... "Where'd ya get him?"

"Well, I went down to the pond to see I could catch a water pokemon." Jazz plopped down next to Jason "And I found this guy relaxing beneath a tree. Can you believe I didn't have to battle him?"

"Yea."

"Oh shut up!" she pouted "Hey! let's have a battle!"

OH now she wants to battle me. Ehh why not? Zorua and Riolu need practice, I gotta win that flight badge.

"Sure, but I won't go easy on you."

"I didn't expect you to." she smirked.

Jason and Jazz

headed outback of the pokemon center, a few trainers were out practicing with there pokemon, some even stopped to watch Jazz and Jasons up coming battle.

"Alright, Munchlax your up first-"

"Well if it isn't Jasmin Marie Walker." smirked a tall blond "I thought I smelled FAILURE."

The girl was wearing a red top with a black skirt and boots. She looked at Jazz with a look that read 'I'm better than you in everyway, shape and form.

A vein began to throb in Jazz's neck as she glared at the girl "What do YOU want Lizzy Nicole Stein?"

I guess they don't like each other very much...Why do I get the feeling Jazz and I won't be battling? and who the hell is this chick? she's kinda cute..

"What do I want? why a battle of course." she then cocked a brow "Unless you chicken."

"Your on!"

"I thought we were battling?"

"Shut up Jason!"

Just asking, sheesh."

Lizzy's head snapped towards Jason "Don't tell me this cutie is your boyfriend?"

Jazz's face lit up like the sun "No he is NOT my boyfriend." why does she care anyway? not like Jason would have any interest in her! wait...why do I care?

"Really? well maybe after I get finished beating you I can get to know him, one on one that is." Lizzy gave a wink before withdrawing a pokeball.

"Not a chance, Lizzy." she smirked "Jason's not that desperate."

Jason on the sideline was chuclking to himself Girls fighting over me? that's not so bad...now if one of them lost there top...

"Go!" both Lizzy and Jazz yelled tossing there pokeballs out.

Jazz of course chose Larvitar who looked ready to fight. Lizzy's pokemon on the other hand looked like a blue and grey dinosaur with four spikes on it's head.

Cranidos, Sex: Male Type: Rock Ability: Mold Breaker Moves: Headbutt, Zen Headbutt and Screech.

Larvitar, Sex: Male Type: Rock/Ground Ability: Guts Moves: Bite, Screech, and Dig.

After the girls were done checking out each others pokemon they put there pokedex's away and returned focusing on the battle; Lizzy made the first move.

"Headbutt!" she ordered.

Cranidos growled and charged forward his head lowered and ready to knock the sense out of Larvitar. Meanwhile Jazz didn't make any command and waited until the time was right.

Wait for it...Wait for it...NOW!

"Alright Larvitar Dig!"

'Larv!' he saluted before burrowing beneath the ground.

Lizzy and Cranidos looked around for the missing green reptalian. Suddenly Larvitar burst from the ground and rams his head into the side of Cranidos making the dinosaur fall over out of surprise.

'Larv!' Larvitar cheered.

"Errgh Cranidos Screech NOW!" Lizzy screamed rather angrily.

At comand Cranidos opened his mouth wide and let out a screech that made Larvitar cover his ears and all other pokemon watching the battle.

"Come on Larvitar fight it! use Dig!"

'Tar!' cried the pokemon diging his way beneath the ground.

Lizzy smirked Does she think that will fool me again? she's even more pathetic than I thought. Alright Cranidos time to pump out the real guns!

"You know what to do, Cranidos!"

'DOS!' cried the migty dino waiting for the moment to strike. The moment came when Larvitar jumped from the ground preparing to attack.

"Zen Headbutt!"

All of a sudden the blue part on Cranidos's head began to glow blue and became surrounded in a ligh blue reflective shield. Cranidos charged forward and slammed head first into Larvitar's head knocking the poor smaller dinosaur back on his rear.

'laaarviiii!' he moaned wobbly etting to his feet. 'LarviiiiiTAR!' he screamed pointing his horn at Cranidos and shooting a sandstorm so strong it slammed him into a tree snapping it in half and falling on the now unconscious Cranidos.

Jason watched with interest, he didn't think Larvitar was so strong. He looked down to Zorua who was watching the battle intently...that look was in his eyes again. What was it?

Was that Sandstorm? since when did Larvitar know that? he must have just learned it! amazing, he's so strong. He's getting better everday, amazing.

Jazz snapped from her thoughts and ran to her pokemon embracing him in a hug "Your awesome Larvitar! you learned Sandstorm!"

'Larv! Larv!' he cheered.

She got lucky that's all...you just wait Jasmin next time we battle I'll be stronger and so will Cranidos!

Lizzy returned her pokemon and stomped off into the pokemon center. Jason smiled and went up to Jazz and gave her back a pat.

"Nice job, Kiddo." he chuckled "That's a strong little pokemon ya got there."

"Thanks." she blushed "He is ins't he?"

'Zor,' snorted the foz 'Rua!' he growled running off towards the forest.

Got to stronger! got to get stronger! got to get STRONGER! Zorua chanted to himself as he ran trough the forest Must get stronger! Must get stronger! Must get STRONGER!

"Zorua?" Jason looked to see his pokemon missing "Zorua? Zorua! hey where'd ya go?"

Jazz also noticed "Maybe he ran off towards the forest? come on!"

Why would he run off like that? did I do something wrong? no, what was it?.

"Are you coming or what?" Jazz yelled to Jason.

"Huh oh yea!" he yelled back running after her.

(Ah chapter 2 complete, so why did Zorua run off? and isn't Lizzy and B!tch? stay on look out for chapter 3 :])
