I look at where the voice was coming from and the boy I saw I did not know. "Do I know you?" Then I saw him, it was the same strutting Eevee I met when I was picking my first pokemon. The other trainer's starter glared at Eevee and he growled. I picked him up, "Ready, Eevee, we'll take them down." He looks scared but nodded. We walk to the battle field and Eevee jumps onto the field. "Tackle" We both say at the same time. I see that the attack will overpower my Eevee so I yell, "Jump!" He hears me and dodges him. The other student is getting very angry so he screams back, "Attack from above."

This was the moment I was waiting for. "Eevee, use Shadow Ball." Everyone laughed, ghost type moves don't affect normal types, but I say "Think next time. Eevee, a high throw, use tackle." Everyone looked where he was but I said "Look behind you" in a mocking voice, because he just jumped against the tree, and crashed down on the other Eevee. "Eevee we won, we won." He looked at me and smiled.

I saw something next to me and Mike Umbraavem said, "Nice job, dude. Good luck against Konrad, but you're not going to need it."

I sigh, "You beat him, didn't you"

"Of course, I wouldn't be beaten by that over confident idiot, but take it easy on him. I think I destroyed that insanely large pride."

"No, trust me; because he lost he's probably training right now."

"Yeah that fool is so stubborn. Okay have fun."

"Okay you too."

I walk a little, talk to Eevee, and we hear that the second battles will begin. I run and tell Eevee to get ready that this is going to be a hard battle. We get there just before the whistle blows telling us to begin to battle. I say to Eevee, "This guy is always late."

He smiles and runs in the field. We wait a minute and I see him. "Eevee, can you come over here, Konrad's here."

The little pokemon yips and runs to my side. Konrad and his Charmander run to the field, stop, start painting, and the little flame says, "Char man mander."

Konrad says, "Okay, okay. I get it, I get it. Please stop we need to concentrate."

I'm really surprised that he said this. "You can already understand him."

"Yeah when I meet I heard him speak."

Almost everyone is finished by now, so many people crowd around waiting for a good battle. "Let's get this battle started."

Both Eevee and Charmander go on to the field and stare at each other for a few seconds. We both know this part

"Tackle" "Scratch" we say at the same time.

Both moves hit and I can tell it did some damage. Konrad laughs, "Show him the move we've been working on, get in close."

I knew he would've used a T.M. too, but which one. "Eevee we can't let him hit us, run."

"I know that, we should attack or have a plan."

I go into utter shock. Konrad looks at me and says, "You heard Eevee, didn't you."

"Yes, Eevee, jump over them."

Konrad smiled, "Char, jump and attack metal claw."

Metal claw, had to be metal claw. "Eevee, wait until he's close and use shadow ball."

"Distance always was your specialty, Char don't get hit."

Yeah that's original, "Wait, wait," I see the perfect moment. "Fire double time."

Eevee fires four shots in a row. Char dodges the first two and is then is directly fit by the next two. Char falls to the ground and faints. He gets up looks at his master then frowns, but Konrad goes up to him and pats him on the back and smiles. I hear a couple of cheers. Now the second biggest ceremony of today is when they tell us what region they think we should go to first. When we get all our letters, I run to Konrad and Mike and say, "Okay, lets all say were we're going at the same time."

"Johto" We all say at the same time.

Konrad and Mike glare at each other and I scream, "Yes we can all go on adventure together." My two best friends sigh, because they both did want a traveling companion and know that they don't get along with any as well as they do with me.

I look over my shoulder and I see him.

Arceus.
