Chapter 2

The battle started out like most battles did, each trainer stood on opposite ends of the balcony while Bianca acted as referee. "Go get 'em Peter!" Tyler said as I ran out into the field to meet Leif. He scoffed and said " Just give up, jou can't beat a grass type" Just then, Leif jumped forward in an unexpected Tackle. I was shocked by his ferocity and barely managed to dodge. "Use Leer Peter!" Tyler shouted. I gave Leif a deathly stare that made him stop in his tracks as he was running forward for another Tackle. Seeing my opportunity I dashed forward, slashing at his belly with my shell. Leif grunted in pain, and i felt a stab of remorse for hurting my friend. That quickly vanished when two vines rose from Leif's collar and lashed out at me. " It's Super Effective!" I heard Bianca say to herself. I was injured pretty badly, as one vine hit me on the soft spot on the back of my head. Then my vision started to turn light blue, and I felt a deep cold radiating from inside me. Ty gasped seeming to know what was going on. "Peter!" Ty yelled excitedly, "Use Ice Beam!" Something inside me seemed to click and I took a deep breath before blowing a thin stream of ice from my mouth. Leif panicked and tried to dodge, but he was too slow and the attack hit him right in the chest. Leif fell back fainted from the powerful attack. I walked over to him and helped him up. "Good match" I told him, but he just scoffed and said "It vas a lucky shot…" he limped back to his trainer and I turned towards Ty to see him grinning with excitement. Before I could say anything he scooped me up and put me on his shoulder. "You did awesome out there, Peter!" Ty said with joy in his voice. "You and Leif did well too, Hugh"

As we headed back to the Pokemon Centre, a very strange man with a bandanna over his face sprinted by as if being chased by a horde of Tauros. We turned to look at him and saw a strange insignia on the back of his jacket. It was a black and white shield with a blue P on it. A zigzag line ran behind the letter in the same rich blue. Then a man in a long brown trench coat with a suit underneath ran up and said, "My name is Looker, I'm with the International Police, that man is part of a horrible group of people called Team Plasma. If you see one of them again, please contact us as soon as possible." Then he headed off to an unassuming building down the street. We headed inside the Centre and Bianca told us all about how we can use the facilities like the PokeMart or the PC Boxes any time. We decided to go back to Ty's house, and Hugh headed to the park to pick up his little sister.

We got to Ty's house just as his mother had just finished making some rice balls and bean sprouts. I blushed when Ty showed me to his mom and she said I was "Absolutely adorable!" After dinner we went to bed so we would be ready to begin our journey to Castelia City to start our adventure.
