After Mike getting better, he begin his adventure again, heading to Rustboro City. He just have to trust that Lorette is going to be fine. Whie training and training at Petalburg Woods and Route 104...

"Torchic, use Ember on Shroomish, Seedot use Nature Power on Marill" Mike said. Torchic releases it's ball of fire and hit Shroomish, knocking her down.

While, Seedot use Nature Power, and turned into Razor Leaf, because of it's environment. "Seeee...Dot"

"Marrr..rilll." the foe's Pokemon growled. "Oh no you two. Return" A girl trainer said.

"Well that was a fun double battle actually, hope to see you again." the girl said walking away.

"Yeaa guys, this is the 10th time we win today." MIke said happily.

Then suddenly, Torchic and Seedot turning into a white light, and growing bigger, bigger , and taller, and taller. Then the white ray stopped, and came out a new faces .

"Treecko and Seedot. Congratulations, you've just evolved. I love you guys so much" Mike said, hugging them "Now, you're a Combusken, and you're a Nuzleaf"

"Nuzz..Nuzzz" "Cooom...busken" They growled together.

As Mike continued, he arrived at Rustboro City, and rushed to the Pokemon Center

"You have to heal up first, than we go to the Pokemon Gym as quick as possible" Mike said to his Pokemon.

"You just got 2 Pokemon? Pathetic" a familiar voice came from behind. Mike always remembered this voice, because this voice belongs to his annoying rival, Bent.

"Bent, what are you doing here?" Mike asked, trying to be polte as possible to him.

"Well, actually i just beat Roxanne, the gym leaders here, and i want to heal them up" Bent said cockily, as a Marshtomp walking to him. "Marshhhtomp"

"You insults me for having 2 Pokemon. Yet , you just have 1 Pokemon." Mike said proudly

"I have more Pokemon, but you cannot know. It is a secret so you don't know my strategy" Bent said as Nurse Joy already cured their both Pokemon. He never changed, is he? Mike thought

"Well, see ya" Bent said walking outside.

Before going to the gym, Mike decided to walking around the city. Suddenly he hears a troubled voice. "Help...help"

"Help, someone trying to steal something from me." an old man said in a suit, carrying a briefcase, that's been pulled by someone.

"Hey, leave that old man at once" Mike said bravely

"Don't mess with Team Aqua kid, or you will pay" the grunt said and carring out his Pokeball. "Go, Sharpedo"

"Nuzleaf, use Razor Leaf " Mike said. Sharpedo easily dodge and hit Nuzleaf.

"Nuzleaaff" Nuzleaf growled in pain.

"Nuzleaf, get up. And use Bullet Seed we train together." Mike said

"Nuzzzz...Leaaaaf" the crowd ae gathering to see what's going on.

Sharpedo get hit by one of Nuzleaf's bullets and began ro rampage.

"aaaah" "Let's get out of here" "Oh..my god" The crowd scream everywheere, worrying of being hit by Sharpedo.

"That's Enough" said the old man "Metang, use Meteor Mash" as his Pokemon came, and suddenly a big giant hand figure seen by Mike, and it hit Sharpedo effectively.

"Sharrrpp..." Sharpedo cried painfuly

"Sharpedo.." the grunt said. "You all will be paying this" he runs away

"Thank you little kid for saving me. My name is Stone. My company is in here. Would you come with me..." Mr. Stone said.

"Mike, Mike Sanborn sir. Glad to meet you" Mike said

"Well okay than, please come with me." Mr. Stone said

As Mike follows him, but then a Golbat attacked Mr Stone, and steal his briefcase.

"Nooo, oh my god. This is dangerous, I have to tell my son."

"I'm sorry...I didn't manage to get it back" sain Mike sorrily.

"I see...please take this Pokemon with you. It called Beldum." As Mr. Stone give him the Pokeball, Mike look inside.

"Wow,, it's cool"

"Can you do me a favour. I've heard that you're going around Hoenn to challenge gyms. If along the way, you come across a town called Dewford. Can you look for a guy called Steven...and pass this to him?" Said Mr Stone handing Mike a piece of letter.

"I trusted you" He said again

"You can count on me." Mike said proudly, and began to walk away

Meanwhile, in the middle of the sea, Lorette floating in there fainting.

"What've you just found Peeko?" a sailor said in his small boat. A Wingull is flying in the middle of the sea circling around something "It's a girl, well i can't just leave you here."

Lorette wakes up, and find herself in bed made of hay. "What happened?"

"Wait i remembered..." Loretta said and begin to flashback his memories...Mike...

"Hey you're awake." the sailor said.

"Are you the one who saved me sir?" Loretta asked "Thank you very much, I don't know what will happened if I wouldn't meet you"

"Well my name is Briney, a retired fisherman" He said "Peeko just saw you floating in the sea. What happened?"

"Wait, I thought you were retired" Loretta asked

Mr Briney sigh and then answered " Todays a special day. I heard something that made these old bones wanna come back to the sea. The great mysterious fish of the ocean, I couldn't keep still the moment i heard that it's reappeared." as Mr Brined hand her a picture of an ancient fish, with a brown-ish patterns on its body

"What is it called Mr?" Loretta asked

"I don't know myself either. But I've heard in the old days, Men called it their 'friend'. With this fish, they can explore the great ocean depths that are unreachable by humans alone. Can you feel that passion girl?" Mr. Briney said in amazed.

"Interesting..." Loretta said, as she began to think.

"What is it Whiscash" Mr Briney asked, as he walking towards the aquarium full of fish.

"Bloop...Bloop'' Whiscash said.

"What's going on Mr. Briney" Loretta asked worrily

"Whiscash, can pick up signs of earthquake with it's whiskers." Mr Briney said. " But there've been so many earthquakes lately, i'm starting to worried."

"Wait a minute. Mr Briney, don't you wanna know why i was in the middle of the sea?" Loretta explained "You mentioned that there've been earthquakes, one of them threw me of the sea while i was doing something"

"Where was it exactly?" Mr. Briney asked, begin to interested in Loretta.

"I was on the outskirt of Petalburg, somewhere near sea route 105" Loretta said

Then Mr. Briney taking out his map with a cross all over the place "Oh my god"

"What is it Mr Briney?" Loretta asked

"It's a map. I've been investigating about the earthquakes lately, and most of them.. are near Sootopolis" Mr Briney said. "I don't understand"
