Vyser: I'm back, with a new chapter. I'd like to thank you people for the trainer ideas, and I saying that one of those ideas is going to be the first gym leader. I only own the story, not the Pokemon.

Chapter 3: The Beginning Battle

Morning soon came and Blake and Drano were ready to meet Valerie at the town entrance. Blake was kind of nervous; he would be in the wild traveling from town to town by foot. Blake and Drano finally made it to the entrance where Valerie was waiting. She had a backpack on that resembled the backpack Blake was wearing.

"Hey Blake you ready?" Asked Valerie.

"Ready as I'll ever be," Answered Blake as he called Drano back into its poke ball. "We first have to head to Flame Burg to the first gym right?"

"Yup, so let's go." Said Valerie.

Both Blake and Valerie were traveling through the grassland. Everything was pretty uneventful until a small black puppy like Pokemon jumps from the grass and confronts the two trainers.

"It's a Poochyena," Said Blake as Valerie was looking through her pokedex. "Go Drano!"

Drano appeared from its poke ball and did a cool shrug.

"Drano, use Water Pulse on Poochyena," Said Blake as his blue Pokemon had a white light shoot from its mouth and hit the dog Pokemon. "Go poke ball!"

Blake threw the ball at the dog Pokemon and it was transferred into the ball by a red light. The ball moved slightly, by then ceased. Blake then pick up the ball and turned towards Valerie.

"I caught a Poochyena!" Said Blake as he placed the ball at his belt loop.

"No fair I wanted that Pokemon," Said Valerie.

"The next Pokemon we see, you can catch. Okay?" Asked Blake.

"Fine," Said Valerie.

As two were continuing to walk, Blake was busy calling his newest Pokemon, Fangs. Soon the two trainers reached a forest. There was a sign that said the forest was known as the Tempest Forest.

"Tempest Forest huh?" Said Blake as a confused look got on his face.

"This forest is know to have many different flying and grass types living within it," Explained Valerie.

"How do you know about it?" Asked Blake.

"I read about it in school," Answered Valerie as she entered the forest with Blake behind.

The forest was grassy with the breeze blowing through the grass and the branches of the trees. Blake and Valerie were walking through the tall grass when suddenly; they spot a small white and brown bird sleeping on a stump.

"It's a Pidgey," Quietly said Blake as he readied Drano's poke ball.

"Go Phoenix!" Said Valerie as her chick Pokemon came out, "Ember!"

The little bird opened its mouth and small shots of fire shot out and hit the sleeping Pidgey. The Pidgey then wakes up and charges at the small firebird knocking down but not out.

"Now use your scratch attack!" Said Valerie as Phoenix did and knocked the Pidgey to the ground. "Go poke ball!"

The ball that Valerie threw at the Pidgey hit the bird and instantly captured it. Valerie grinned as she picked up the poke ball.

"Why'd you do that?" Asked Blake as the two continued walking through the forest.

"It was my turn to catch a Pokemon," Answered Valerie, "I'll name my new Pokemon Breeze."

"Yeah, yeah," Replied Blake as he and Valerie continued to proceed through the forest.

Soon they were out of the forest and into the nearby town, Lynn Town known for the exotic plants that were grown there. It was late afternoon when the two arrived in Lynn; the stores were still open so Blake and Valerie decided that they should get some supplies before they head to the Pokemon Center. When they entered the center after getting some potions, poke balls, and other items, the place was not very busy. The two trainers approached the counter that had (of course) Nurse Joy behind it.

"Excuse me, but do you have any rooms for trainers left?" Asked Valerie.

"We only have one room left," Said Nurse Joy.

"Uh oh," Said Blake. "You take the room, Valerie."

"What about you?" Asked Valerie.

"The room does have two beds in it," Said Nurse Joy.

"Okay," Said Blake, "Valerie, I'm going to look at the town, you want something while I'm out?"

"Can you get me a soda?" Asked Valerie as she walked towards the trainer rooms.

"Okay," Said Blake when he realized something, "Wait, what kind of soda?"

Blake was on his way to the general store, along the way there was a boy who was younger then Blake handling a poke ball in his hands leaning on the side of the store. The boy was wearing a green shirt under black vest and wears dark blue jeans. The boy had blonde hair.

"You a trainer?" Asked the young boy.

"And if I am?" Countered Blake.

"Then I challenge you to a battle," Answered the boy.

"You're on!" Said Blake as he held Drano's poke ball, "My name's Blake. Go Drano!"

"Cool, I'm Ryan Spurce," Said Ryan as he released his Pokemon, Treecko. "Let's go Roots!"

"Use Ice Beam!" Yelled Blake as Drano shot a white light from its mouth.

"Dodge and use quick attack!" Commanded Ryan as Roots quickly dodge and charged Drano ramming the blue alligator in the stomach.

"Water Pulse!" Quickly Yelled Blake as a ring of light blasted from Drano's mouth and hitting Roots. After Roots recovered from the attack, the gecko Pokemon shuttered around confused.

"Roots, snap out of it and use bullet seed!" Said Ryan. Roots opened its mouth for the attack, but fell backwards due to the confusion.

"Finish this with Ice beam!" Said Blake as Drano tried the ice attack once more, hitting the target dead on causing Roots to faint.

"Good job Roots," Said Ryan as he called Roots back to his poke ball.

"That was a good battle," Said Blake as he called Drano back and extended his hand to Ryan.

"Yeah I won't forget this battle," Said Ryan as he quickly shook Blake's hand, "Next we met, I want a rematch."

"You got it," Said Blake as the two boys headed in other directions, "I feel like I'm forgetting something."

When Blake returned to the Pokemon center, and made it to his and Valerie's room, Valerie was a little upset.

"What took so long?" Asked Valerie as she was flipping through a Pokemon magazine about the top trainers.

"I was battling, sorry," Said Blake.

"Where's my soda?" Asked Valerie.

"I knew I forgot something," Said Blake as he quickly ran out of the room and to the concession dispensers outside the Pokemon Center.

Vyser: Well I hoped that you all enjoyed reading this new chapter as much as I did. Still looking for trainers, gym leaders, towns, and things that should happen in the story. Now I'm looking for two different teams to put in the story. Please review.
