"Way to go Kim!" Tori said congratulating his cousin. "Let's keep going! I want to get to my gym battle." Zach whined, having his gym battle delayed even further.
"Don't forget to catch some Pokemon on the way, because I doubt you'd be able to challenge gym leaders with only one pokemon." Tiff reminded the ever so forgetful Zach.
"I know, I know." Zach said, waving his arm at her, which earned him a smack on the head for acting like a big know it all.
"Come on let's keep going!" Kim said, still happy about the capture of her first pokemon. "Squirtle Squirtle!" Squirt said agreeing with his trainer.
"Ok, to head to Rustboro, we have to go this way!" Zach said pointing to a random spot in the forest.
"How do you know?" Tori asked a bit suspicious. "It's instincts." Zach replied, rubbing his nose.
"Let me check the-" Tori never got a chance to finish his sentence, because Zach started walking off. "Wait!!" the three yelled as they ran after the impatient Zach.
A WHILE LATER…
"Great! Now we're lost, and it's all your fault Zach Ketchum!!!" Kim yelled at her friend. "If you had just listened to me…" Tori indirectly gave him the 'I told you so…'
"Don't worry you guys, I'll get us out of here." Zach said, reassuring everyone, who looked very doubtful.
Just then a Tailow flew by. "Tailow!" it screeched as it flew passed them all.
"Cool! It's a Tailow! I wanna catch it! Come on!" Zach said following the Tailow and bringing them deeper into the forest.
"Tailow!" the Tailow said as it perched on a rock by a little pond filled with water pokemon. "Ok, Tailow, prepare yourself to be caught by the greatest trainer of all time!" Zach said to the bird pokemon.
Tailow looked at Zach for a second and then went back to grooming itself. "Why you little.." Zach shouted angrily at it's snobbiness.
"Go Charmeleon!" Zach called out to his pokemon. "Charmeleon!" it yelled showing it's strength, as it came out.
"Charmeleon use flamethrower!" Zach ordered his pokemon. It did as it's trainer told it and used flamethrower, but Tailow dodged it by flying into the air. "Charmeleon, use Sky uppercut!" Zach said to his pokemon, becoming very impatient.
A direct hit to Tailow, but the Tailow was stubborn and proceeded to use Ariel Ace, landing a direct hit on Charemleon, who stood back up again, determined to win.
"Ok, Charmeleon, iron tail!" Zach said, calming down, knowing he'd loose if he kept becoming impatient.
This time Charmeleon got a direct hit again and brought the Tailow to the ground. "Go Pokeball!" Zach said throwing the pokeball at the weakened pokemon on the ground.
The ball flashed for a moment and Tailow was released again. It still had some strength left in it. "Tailow!" it said, trying desperately to bring itself back to the sky again.
"Gutsy, aren't you?" Zach asked before ordering a tackle from Charmeleon, knowing that, that was all that was needed.
"Let's try this again!" Zach said throwing the pokeball, and this time it worked. "Good job Zach you caught it." Kim said as she was joined by Tori and Tiff.
"Alright, I caught a Tailow!" Zach said posing with his pokeball and a peace sign. Charmeleon had a peace sign too.
"Ok, can we now try to get ourselves out of this forest?" Kim asked exasperated. "I have an idea." Zach said with a smile. "Oh, no, not one of your ideas!" Tori said rolling his eyes.
"No, listen it's a good one. Go Tailow!" Zach said as he threw the Pokeball into the air and released his newly caught pokemon.
"Tailow search through the sky until you find an exit to the forest and then come tell us when you find one." Zach told the Tailow, who sped off as soon as it received it's orders.
"Actually, that's not a bad idea." Tiff said smiling to Zach, who gleamed at the compliment.
A WHILE LATER…
"I'm tired…" Kim moaned, as they had been walking for several hours now, and her legs were aching.
"Tailow!!" Tailow said as it charged right at them and then perched gracefully on Zach's arm. "Did you find anything?" But Tailow shook it's head no. "oh well." Zach said sighing.
"Well, in any case, let's take a break." Tiff said being reasonable, and as if on cue, Zach's stomach began to rumble.
"Heh…heh…" Zach said blushing.
"Come on out Torchic!!" Kim said twirling and then finally releasing her pokemon.
"You come on out too Charmeleon!" Zach said releasing his pokemon.
"Go! Vileplume!" Tiff said releasing a flower like pokemon.
"Cool a Vileplume!" Kim said running over to it with her pokedex.
"Yea, I caught it on my way to Hoen, just before I left Pweter." Tiff said smiling.
"Ok, you guys, foods ready, let's eat." Tiff said as she started pouring the stew into four different bowls.
"Coming!" Kim and Zach said as they finished giving all the pokemon their food.
After finishing the food, the four packed up again and started walking, along the way they enter a beautiful field filled with pretty flowers and many bug and grass type pookemon.
"Oh, wow, how pretty!" Kim said as she ran up to the top of the hill they were on. When she got there, she saw just how beautiful the field was.
"Look! It's a Beautifly!!!" Kim said as she tried to get near it.
"I'm going to catch it! Mom had a Beautifly, you know?" Kim said turning to her friends as they approached behind her.
"Let's see, since Beautifly is a bug type, I should use a fire type like Torchic. Let's go Torchic!" Kim said throwing her pokeball after finally deciding on it.
"Torchic!!" Torchic said, striking a cute pose and shaking it's head and puffing out it's feathers.
"Torchic use ember!!" Kim said pointing to their opponent. "Torchic!" it screamed before releasing mouthfuls of hot tiny embers.
A direct hit! But Beautifly got up and flapped it's wings sending out a powerful gust attack. "Torchic!" Torchic said landing on the floor after getting a direct hit from the attack.
"Torchic!" Kim said concerned, but Torchic persistently got up and was ready to fight again.
"Ok, Torchic use peck!" Kim ordered. Torchic charged at the bug pokemon and landed a direct hit.
"Go pokeball!!" Kim threw the pokeball and immediately it went silent. Kim had weakened it good enough that once the Pokeball was thrown it had no energy left.
"Al right, I got a Beautifly!" Kim said holding out the Pokeball and standing on one leg. Behind her, Torchic jumped for joy and Squirt gave a victory pose.
"Good Job!" Zach and Tiff said coming. "Hey you guys!" Tori called out grabbing the attention of the three.
"What's up Tori?" Kim and the others asked coming over to the little boy.
"My pokenav works here, and it says that the region we're trying to get to isn't that far from here, in fact it's that way." Tori said pointing in the direction.
"All right! Let's go that way!!" Kim said pointing in the same direction and walking off.
The others soon followed her. Soon they came upon a Pokemon Center, where they got rooms to stay in. Kim found out that the Contest would be held in three days, and registered the moment she entered the Pokemon Center.
Kim went straight to the phone and dialed home.
"Hey Mom!" Kim said as soon as her mom appeared on the phone screen.
"Hey honey, how are you?" May said, as Drew entered and looked into the screen, "Where are you?" he asked, seeming concerned for his daughter.
"Where at that place between Petalburg and Rustboro, it's called Lavrish. We're at their pokemon center, and I already signed up for the contest." Kim said smiling.
"Hmm…I don't remember there being a Pokemon Center there." May said thinking. "They must've built a new one." Drew said to his wife as if that was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Anyways…when is the contest?" Drew said turning back to Kim.
"In three days." Kim replied, with no worry.
"What pokemon are you going to choose?"
"I dunno, but I've already caught a Torchic and a Beautifly!" Kim said holding up the two pokeballs.
"That's wonderful honey!" May chimed in.
"Maybe I should use Beautifly, it seems to be the oldest out of all my pokemon, it would be easier to work with for my first contest." Kim said after thinking it over more.
"Squirtle squirtle." Squirt whined a bit hurt by the statement.
"I'm sorry Squirt, but I know how you like to play around, and well, you're a bit difficult some time." Kim said apologetically to Squirt, who accepted it, as well as agreed with it.
"Well, wish me luck, I have to go practice." Kim said to her parents.
"Good luck honey." May said to her daughter with a smile. "Try your best." Drew said before the screen went blank.
Kim got up and walked outside to the park.
