A/N I hope this chapter was worth the wait! I know I've been kind of slacking off…Yes, this IS a short chapter, but the next one will be much longer to make up for it. I just wanted to get this battle over with, and show that judge is "not normal"…You'll see. Did you know I don't own Pokemon? Of course you did. I'm just trying not to get sued.

"Yes, you." Falkner said, annoyed. He was used to all these Gym Battles already and wanted to get them over with as soon as possible.

"Umm…o…kay…" Synekko nervously walked onto the stage, feeling her belt. "Oh, no!"

"What?" Falker asked.

She kept feeling all around her belt. "I can't find Pinkie! Oh my god, I—oh, wait, here he is." Her hand had rested upon a black-and-yellow ball.

"I choose first. Go, Pidgey." Falkner let out a tiny bird from a pokeball.

"Pinkie!" Kiir gasped, Shishido gawked, and Falkner shifted when they saw that a quite large Tyrannitar came out. It had a pink flower behind its ear(or at least, where it should be).

"Start!"

"Pinkie, use Rock Slide!" Pinkie the Tyrannitar brought up huge rocks from the ground, and brought them down on his opponent. Pidgey, whose flying wasn't as developed as Pidgeotto's, couldn't dodge as easily, and so was hit. It barely had any HP left. Falkner thought about his options.

"Pidgey…" Falkner wistfully said. He was stuck. All Pidgey could do was tackle, peck, growl, and leer. He wished he could've trained it more, instead of focusing more on Pidgeotto and Dodrio. Instead of trying to train his Pidgeotto to become a Pidgeot, he should have leveled out his team. It was too late now, he could see the damages of his mistakes. He had neglected his Pidgey, and it was all his fault. "Err…Pidgey…Growl!" There wasn't much more of a choice. The Pidgey cutely chirped, trying to soften the Tyrannitar's blows. It seemed to be working, but that didn't matter anyway.

"Pinkie, use Stomp!" Pinkie stomped over to the Pidgey, raised its foot…

…And stomped down. That was it, the battle was over.

"Winner…Pinkie." The judge felt slightly silly saying it, but he was used to silly-sounding names already. He had judged a lot of battles, and seen a lot of things, and nothing too exiting had happened.

Just trainers. Pokemon. Battling. Badges. The four components of a Gym Battle. And yet, he grinned. You see, today he had actually seen something unusual. Something he wanted.

A Pokemon. No, two Pokemon. Pokemon he had only seen one time.

They were two pictures. Two pictures in a lot of pictures, pictures of things he had to find.

Things his Boss wanted him to find.

His boss was Giovanni.

And he had just found the three children Giovanni wanted.
