Chapter 2

"Unova's Challenge?" Amber asked after she finished reading a letter.

"You got one two?" Blake asked walking into the lab.

"Yeah," Amber answered as someone requested video chat," I wonder who that could be?"

"Hi guys!" Marissa said her image appearing on the screen.

"Hey Marissa did you get invited the Unova's challenge," Amber asked waving her letter.

"No, I'm a ranger now and lots of people know it," Marissa answered.

"Ok."

"Okay see you guys later, but first if you guys plan on going you might want to board a boat soon," Marissa said logging out of the video chat.

"She's right! Let's go!" Amber and Blake exclaimed running out the door and towards the pier.

~with Topaz and Garnet in Kanto~

"Moon! Help me!" shouted Garnet while being dragged by Topaz.

"I wish I could Garnet." Moon replied.

"NATHAN! COME OUT BEFORE I FIND YOU AND BEAT YOU UP!" shouted Topaz.

"Must you always threaten me?" Nathan asked as he emerged from some vegetation.

"Nah, but its fun," replied Topaz.

"Alright, let's go to Vermillion." said Moon as she held a map out.

"Moon, you're holding the map upside down." replied Nathan. Moon looked at the map and noticed that it was indeed upside down.

"No wonder it looked confusing." said Moon. Nathan then took the map from her and started to walk ahead.

"Tell me why we can't just fly to Vermillion," said Garnet.

"Moon doesn't have a flying pokemon." replied Nathan.

"Can't she ride with you?" asked Garnet.

"The only flying type you have is Heracross anyways," replied Nathan. "Unless you got a new pokemon."

"Why do we always argue?" asked Moon.

"Topaz, my dear! Would you accept a ride to Vermillion City upon my dear Salamance's back?" asked Jewels after popping up out of nowhere.

"Alright, that's it!" said Garnet before letting out a Flygon. "We're all flying!" Garnet grabbed Topaz and got her on his Flygon before Jewels got her on his Salamance. Nathan sighed and then let out his Skarmory before offering Moon a ride.

"Garnet? Since when did you?" Topaz started to ask.

"I raised it from a Trapinch, I've had it for a while now." replied Garnet.

~with Hannah in Kanto~

"Teleport, works like a charm." said Hannah after her Gardevoir and Nick's Gallade teleported her, Sarah, Nick, Rose, Soul, Silver, and all of their stuff to Vermillion City. "Thank you Gardevoir!" Her Gardevoir nodded and Hannah recalled it to its pokeball while Nick rewarded his Gallade and returned it to its respective pokeball.

"Well, that made up for the time we wasted packing." said Rose.

"Looks like we have company." said Silver while looking up at three flying figures.

"That must be Nathan, Garnet, and Jewels." said Nick.

"Topaz and Moon are probably with them." added Sarah. The three flying pokemon landed by them and they were Salamance, Flygon, and Skarmory. Jewels, Garnet, Nathan, Moon, and Topaz got off their rides and waved.

"Sarah! Soul!" exclaimed Topaz.

"It's good to see all of you!" said Moon as the boys returned their pokemon.

"All aboard for the Unova's Challenge!" said a sailor on a big cruise ship.

"Alright! Let's go!" exclaimed Topaz before dragging Garnet and Moon onto the boat.

"Wait for me my dear!" said Jewels only to be stopped by his cousin.

"I'm keeping my eye on you." said Rose.

"Fine." replied Jewels.

"I guess I better at least attempt to save Garnet and Moon from Topaz." said Nathan before going onto the ship.

"Let's go!" said Sarah as she grabbed her stuff and Hannah and Nick as well. Soul, Silver, Rose, and Jewels ran on after them.

~With Misty, José, and Serena~

"Are we almost there?" Serena asked while playing cards with José.

"Yeah, It'll only take a Chestnut a few minutes to get to the pier," Misty said standing on chestnut's back.

"Remind me why we didn't take your Staraptor?" José asked looking up from the cards in his hands.

"It went missing and I have no clue where it is," Misty said scratching Chestnut's neck, and pulled out her loose feathers.

~With Cody~

"Turns out Misty was right, Staraptor is her fastest bird pokemon," Cody said holding onto Staraptor's neck, "I'll be at the pier in no time!"

~With Amber and Blake at the pier~

"We made it!" Amber said in between coughs.

"Yeah," Blake said as Chestnut landed with Misty, José, and Serena on its back.

"Hey sis!" Misty exclaimed returning Chestnut, her Pidgeot, back into her pokeball.

"Hey Misty," Amber said while Cody landed with Misty's Staraptor, "Isn't that your Staraptor Misty?"

"Let me check," Misty said taking out Staraptor's pokeball and tried to put him back in it, "It sure is!"

"Ok before this fight gets any bigger can we get onto the boat?" Blake, Serena, and José said at the same time.

"Okay," Cody said walking up to the boat.

Cronosa: I know, and Karrie you might consider me lucky since I've never worn a dress before

Karrie: LUCKY! I've been forced into so many dresses especially when I was little and the few times Rhythmi has managed to get me into one!

José: I will KILL you Moon if you show anyone those

Moon: *laughs* not the first time you have threatened me! Remember Cream's Teeter Dance or Blueberry's Ice Beam? *sends out her Totodile and Spinda* Serena come here, I've got the pictures right here *shows a picture of José in a pink dress*

Serena: *laughs uncontrollably*

José: *sends out his Ludicolo* Yes it isn't but I've never threatened you with Ludicolo

Moon: And here is a picture of when he was two *turns to José with a pokeball in hand* I'm not scared of that thing. Besides, you should know how much Blueberry and Cream love to dance.

Celebi: Can I see one of those?

Serena: *turning red with laughter*

José: *growls*

Moon: Sure! *hands Celebi some pictures* And José, would you like to become a target for Blueberry and Cupcake to use to practice their ice attacks?

Celebi: *laughs*

José: who are you talking about?

Nathan: okay, note taken

Nick: I'm talking about you José

Hannah: *sighs*

José: I'm not! I'm furious at my sister!

Sarah: Since we seem to be on the topic of teasing brothers, anybody want to see Nick's baby pictures?

Nick: NO!

Garnet: =.=" you go work on that

Topaz: ah, brings back memories of you tackling Nathan in order to make him stay long enough for you to use a Burn Heal on him

Serena: Are you serious Moon?

Moon: If he's sick, I wanna make him get better!

José: *sighs*

Serena: I mean are you serious about "is there a herb or berry that can cure that."

Moon: Yep! I'm going to go do research on it right now!

Nathan: -_-" you don't have to, really, I'm fine

Serena: It can't be cured with medicine

Misty: can we end this chapter?
