Carel's Kalos Adventure

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon.

Chapter 4

Two days later, Carel returns all of her now fully evolved Pokemon to their Pokeballs and exit the forest. "What took you two so long?" Calem asks at the beginning of Route 3.

"Small Lady insisted on training as well as capturing at least one of every Pokemon species we encountered." Shauna replies. After a short discussion during which the accusation of capturing every species encountered is denied, Carel continues along Route 3 until a male Preschooler introducing himself as Oliver challenges her to a Pokemon battle and sends out a Caterpie. Carel waves Froako forwards with the certainty that the Greninja would win. Oliver orders Caterpie to use Stringshot but returns the bug seconds later after Froako knocks it out with Round. Releasing an Azurill, Oliver orders a Charm attack.

Without waiting for an order from Carel, Froako ignores the Charm of Azurill and uses Round a second time. Even though the musical attack had no effect on most of those who heard it, Azurill immediately fainted with a small trickle of blood coming from each ear. "I hope the damage to Azurill's ears isn't permanent." Carel comments as Preschooler Oliver recalls his final Pokemon. Oliver agrees as he gives Carel her winnings and the nudist trainer continues on her way to the next town.

As Carel and Froako pass through a patch of tall grass, an odd yellow snake appears in a Rage. After scanning the Dunsparce with her Pokedex, Carel tosses a Pokeball at it. Three shakes later Carel names the new capture Dunspo and continues on her way. Only minutes later, a leaf cloaked bug appears and attempts to tackle Froako. Scanning the Burmy, Carel intercepted it with a Pokeball. Three shakes later, Carel names the new capture Burmo and leaves the tall grass on her way to the next town.

After only a few minutes, Carel is stopped by a Preschooler who introduces herself as Ella before challenging her to a battle against a Pichu. Carel waves Froako forward as Ella starts the battle by ordering a Tail Whip. Froako half hops up to the baby electric type and simple sits on it. Minutes later, after multiple Thunder Shocks fail to do any note worthy damage, Preschooler Ella recalls her fainted Pichu and pays Carel the required winnings.

After a peaceful half hour stroll, Carel is challenged to a battle by a Schoolboy introducing himself as Brighton. "Make it a Triple Battle so we can save some time." Carel replies on seeing Brighton's Pansage. Brighton chuckles and sends out Pansear and Panpour before ordering all three to attack with Scratch. Two of the monkeys connect with their attacks, but Froako backhands the third monkey so hard that it faints instantly.

"Panpour, return. Pansear, Pansage, use play nice." Brighton calls in the hopes of salvaging the lopsided battle. Pansage and Pansear begin trying to play with Froako and seem to succeed. Carel smirks however when her Greninja playfully swats Pansage into a nearby tree hard enough to knock it out.

"Pansear, use Scratch." Schoolboy Brighton commands as he recalls Pansage. Pansear leaps to obey, however Froako finishes the battle with another casual backhand. "I'm glad you didn't use more than one Pokemon. A true Triple Battle would have ended instantly as would a standard 1v1." Brighton comments as he gives Carel her winnings after recalling his final Pokemon.

After another half hour of walking, Carel is challenged to a battle by a Schoolgirl introducing herself as Bridget while sending out a Bidoof. As Bidoof runs forward in a Tackle, Froako exchanges glances with Carel before countering with a poorly aimed Hydro Pump. Despite missing its target, the Hydro Pump is so powerful the plump mouse Pokemon is blown off course and thrown into a tree hard enough to knock it out. "Better luck next time." Carel comments to Bridget as she collects her winnings.

Soon after, Carel and Froako reach Santalune City. Despite its name, Santalune is more of an overgrown town than a true city. Thinking over her supplies, Carel stops by the Pokemon Center and hands over all of her Pokemon to Nurse Joy for healing before heading to the Pokemart in the back to buy a few supplies that can't easily be found in the wilderness. Out of curiosity, she then pops next door to the boutique to see what they are selling. Unfortunately, the boutique in Santalune only has hats and buttons.

After picking up her Pokemon from the Center, Carel explores the city spending lunch at an outdoor café and another hour or so entertaining the students at the local Trainer school. On the west side of town, a Hiker offers Carel a Farfetch'd named Quacklin' if she will give him a Bunnelby. Without a second thought, Carel makes the trade using the second of the Bunnelby she caught back on Route 2 (Avance Trail). With the day getting late, Carel returns to the Pokemon Center and gets a room for the night.

The next morning, Carel heads back to Route 3 to train Truth, Ideals, Dunspo and Burmo. Despite the weaknesses inherent to Bug Pokemon, by noon Burmo has evolved to Mothim. After a quick meal and healing provided by the Pokemon Center, Carel heads to the Gym only to be confronted by a Roller Skater introducing herself as Rinka. Initially, Rinka offers a pair of skates if Carel can defeat her. She quickly becomes confused however when she notices Carel is completely nude.

"Don't worry about my lack of shoes. We could just battle as practice for my weaker Pokemon." Carel replies as she sends out Dunspo. Rinka shrugs and sends out a Zigzagoon, immediately ordering it to Tackle Dunspo. At a signal from Carel, Dunspo counters Zigzagoon with a powerful Rollout that nearly sends the tiny raccoon Pokemon through the wall of the Gym. Rinka recalls her poor Zigzagoon and insists on giving Carel the earlier offered pair of snap-on roller skates along with the normal winnings.
