Chapter 3

DISCLAIMER I OWN NOTHING

After the Team Galactic episode the next morning Cody and the others moved on down the road. DJ and Cody talked about what pokemon they had. DJ told Cody about his pokemon, one he had that he didn't want anyone else to know about. So at noon he and Cody walked off to be alone.

"Okay are you ready?" Cody asked, seeing DJ nervous, "Look you don't have to do this".

"No I have to" he replied and pulled a pokeball from his belt, "Come out Smoochum!", seconds later a tiny pink pokemon stood at DJ's feet. It was comical in appearance, with it's blond hair, big eyes and lips. Cody fought back the urge to laugh when the larger boy picked up the tiny pokemon and kissed him on the cheek.

"Why… do you have a Smoochum?" Cody asked, already knowing the big guy loved small cute things, "I mean a big guy like you with… that" Cody joked, DJ laughed also.

"Yeah it is kinda funny when you think about it" he replied, hugging the pokemon to himself, "And she's just so cute, wanna hold her?" DJ held out the pokemon for Cody, as he reached for it they heard a scream.

"What was that?" Cody shouted.

"It came from over there!" DJ exclaimed and pointed, the two boy ran off in the direction of the scream. They came through the trees to see two girls dressed the same way, huddled together as a swarm of Beedrill flew around them, "Buizel use swift!" DJ tossed a pokeball, the weasel pokemon fired a barrage of stars they connected with the swarm, the angry bee pokemon turned their attention away from the girls to the boys, "Uh oh" DJ muttered.

"Ursaring use hyper beam!" Cody shouted, tossing his pokeball, the large bear fired at the swarm, knocking them all to the ground, "Now's a good opportunity DJ!" both boys tossed a pokeball and captured a Beedrill each.

"That makes five for me" DJ said.

"Four for me" Cody replied, as they we're talking the two girls stood up and walked over. Cody wasn't surprised to see it was Katie and Sadie, the two girls glomped both of the boys tightly.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" they both said together quickly, after they finished Katie noticed the pokemon in DJ's arms.

"Oh my god Sadie look he has a Smoochum" Katie said, "I so totally want one".

"Okay here you can have her" DJ said, handing over the tiny pokemon and it's pokeball, Cody also expected this DJ always helped others, no matter the cost to him. The girl hugged the Smoochum tightly then turned to Sadie.

"I have to go show Noah!" she said, running off. Sadie watched her go then turned to Cody.

"Are you gonna give me one of your pokemon?" she asked, taking Cody by surprise.

"Uh… what pokemon do you want?" he asked, hoping she didn't say Tauros or Eevee.

"I wanted a Beedrill but you know how that turned out" she replied, he handed over the pokeball. She squealed and kissed his cheek, "Thanks, here" she handed him a pokeball, he looked at it… confused.

"Well here goes nothing" he said, he tossed the pokeball, it opened to reveal a Donphan, "Yes I always wanted one of these!" he exclaimed, kneeling down and hugging the pokemon. Soon Katie returned with Noah, who glared at them.

"Who did it?" he asked, "Who gave her this thing?", DJ raised his hand slowly. Noah pulled a pokeball and pointed at the large boy, "I challenge you to a battle".

"Okay your move Noah" DJ said, pulling a pokeball.

"Your mistake, go Arcanine!" he shouted, the pokeball opened to reveal a large canine.

"Go Onix!" DJ shouted, the large rock pokemon roared loudly, "Onix use screech!", Onix let out a loud roar causing the others present to cover their ears, DJ didn't flinch.

"Arcanine… use… flamethrower" Noah said, recovering from the screech, the large canine let loose with a large blast of flame that connected with Onix, the larger pokemon didn't move. Noah looked shocked.

"Onix use bind!" DJ shouted, the large rock pokemon wrapped up the fire pokemon, that was still using flamethrower and started squeezing it with it's tail. Arcanine let out a yelp of pain as it was squeezed. Noah watched helplessly as his pokemon suffered.

"Alright I give up!" he shouted, Onix released it's hold, dropping the fire pokemon to the ground. Noah stood rooted to the spot, while Katie and Sadie ran over to check on Arcanine. DJ recalled Onix and pulled something from his bag that Cody couldn't see.

"Here, this super potion will help" he said, handing it to Noah, the nerd took it and scowled before he tossed it back , hitting DJ in the face.

"I don't need your help!" Noah shouted, "This pokemon is useless if it can't beat a weakling like you!" Noah shouted, turning and walking away, tossing the pokeball to the ground. DJ watched him go before walking over and picking the pokeball up. He recalled Arcanine and placed the pokeball on his belt. Katie ran after Noah while Sadie stayed behind.

"Why did he call Smoochum that thing?" Cody asked, Sadie lowered her eyes.

"Noah doesn't like things that are weak" Sadie replied, "The only reason he travels with me is because of Katie", Cody patted her on the back. They watched as Katie walked back to them.

"Sadie it's time to-" she began but was cut off by Noah shouting.

"Leave her!" he shouted, "She'll only slow us down!" Katie cringed and slowly walked back. Sadie watched her go before she burst into tears. Several minutes later she finally stopped and stood up.

"Can… I… come with you?" she asked nervously.

"Yeah of course" Cody replied. The chubby girl smiled and followed them back to camp. Leshawna was the only one there.

"Trent decided to go on and Gwen went with him" she said, Cody sighed same old thing. After they had lunch the group of four continued onward to Oreburgh. They arrived half an hour later, Leshawna left to go to Jubilife City. While the remaining three walked to the gym. They entered the gym and walked to the battle ground. A figure stood on the other side.

"So you have come to challenge for the coal badge" the figure said, "Show me your strength or be crushed GOSH!"

"Lets do this" Cody said, "Go Tauros!"

"Go Geodude!" Harold shouted.
