CHAPTER 3
"So this is Petalburg Town, great and big city" Mike said with Loretta and Torchic besides him
"I guess the weather is good don't you think? Treecko come out." Loretta said as the green Pokemon comes out and cried "Treeckoo"
"Well, there is a gym here Mike. Did you know?" Loretta asked. Mike and Torchic suddenly give her a surprised look .
"SERIOUSLY? WE'RE GONNA HAVE OUR FIRST BADGE NOWW TORCHIC." Mike said dancing with Torchic.
"TORCHIIIIIC" Torchic crowed loudly.
"B...but actually you can't fight him actually." Loretta said scaredly
"Are you saying that i'm weak" Mike asked seriously.
"Noooo not that, you have to collect the first 4 badge first, which is on Rustboro, Dewford, Mauville, and Lavaridge Town respectively. So until then, you cannot fight him." Loretta explain.
"Ohhh, But i want to go the gym just to looking around." Mike said and begin to walk
"Okay, i'll go with you." Loretta said following him.
After a 10 minutes walking, searching for the gym, they've finally found it. It was big.
"Wowww, cool place." Mike opens the door. As they come in to the gym, they see two trainers battling in a big arena. One trainer use a Slaking, and another use a Linoone. Mike never seen such an amazing battle like this.
"Slaking, use Brick Break" Slaking instantly stand up from laying, and began to knock out
Linoone
"No, Linoone. Are you alright?" said the other trainer.
"Linoone is unable to battle, Norman is the winner" said the refferee.
"You know kid, you're not that bad, you're just have to train a lot more better. Okay?" Said the winner. "Return Slaking."
Mike already know that he is Norman, the Normal-type gym leader from Petalburg City. Although Mike is not smart as Loretta, Mike always intrested about this kind of thing. Mike already scared about it, because he can sense so much power from that guy.
"Woww, that's was one hotshot battle" Mike said.
"Well thank you kid. Are you planning to battling me?"Norman said. "I cant right now because i have something important to do."
"Well, actually we just seeing around to watch a gym battle." Loretta said.
"My name is Mike, and i will beat you someday you know."
"Hahahaha, I'll be waiting for you..." Norman said walking away.
An hour has passed, Mike and Loretta are training on Route 104. "I have to be as strong as possibe to beat Bent and Norman"
"Who's Bent?" Loretta asked
"Oh yeah i forgot to tell you. He's the one that pick Mudkip. You know he's not a friendly person, but I know i can beat him you know?" Mike said
"Hahaha Okay then. Mike, there's something I need to tell you." Loretta asked randomly.
"What is it?" Mike said turning her face and seeing her angelic face. God she is so beautiful.
"Well, after we saw what happened in the gym, I don't want my Pokemon get hurt like that. I think we will go together, but with a different purpose. I want to participate in Pokemon Contest." Loretta explained.
"Oh well it's your choice. But, contest have battles too actually." Mike said
"Yeah I know, but it's not as severe as gym battle. Please understand" Loretta explained
"Okay okay i get it. It's your problem anyway hehe" Mike said shyly
Suddenly, the ground is shaking hard " Wooow, what's going on. Miiikeee" Loretta screamed. "My god, this is an Earthquake. I wonder what's happened in here." Mike said
And then came a big wave from the river and carried Loretta away from Mike " Oh nooo. Mike, I'm stuck in the stream." Loretta screamed
Mike is hanging on a tree preventing from carried away. "Just hold on to something like i did." Mike yelled, and she noticed that Loretta isn't there again.
"Loretta where are you?" Mike sreamed."Lorettaaa" as he screamed the water stopped and began to calm down. Mike fainted and lose consciousness.
Mike open his eyes a little and see a man with his Slaking carrying him to a house on Petalburg City. Then he fainted again.
"Where am I?" Mike said faintily as she woke up. He was in a small room and cover in blanket.
Then he see a door opening and a Vigoroth came out mad. "Stopp, don't do that" Mike screamed.
"God, sorry. Vigoroth always do that" said a man walking to the room. Mike knew that voice, it was Norman. "Vigoroth return" as the Pokemon came back to it's Pokeball.
"What happened there on Route 104 Mike? and where's that friend of yours?" Norman asked quiet and softly, trying to calming down Mike
"Well, we are training there , and suddenly came a big tremor, We panicked and then it was over for a moment. We didn't know that the water flood from the river, and it carried Loretta away. I manage to hanging on a tree, but it's too late...She's gone" Mike said.
"You know, i'm sure she will be fine. I think she manage to survive. Let's hope so" Norman said. Mike nod in response
"I will leave you for a moment, get well soon" Norman said walking out of the room.
Norman came into his room, and typing on his Pokenav. "Wallace, we have big problem" Norman said serious looking around
"What is it?" the other man asked
"I think someones is disrupting them from a big sleep" Norman explained
"WHAT?" Wallace asked surprisedly
"Yes, i think Groudon and Kyogre soon will be awaken..."
