The shrill shriek of an alarm clock filled the room; Hailey woke up from her pleasant dream with a yell and, in a blind panic fell from the bed onto the floor with a loud thud... After almost over an hour and a half having a wash, getting dressed, cleaning the room as best as she could and packing up all her stuff Hailey was ready to go.

She recalled Edana into her poke ball, let saffy onto her shoulder and made her way downstairs to give the room key back to Nurse Joy and collect her new ralts, she then released said ralts in the middle of the pokecentre

Later on as she sat munching on her cereal, she would look back and see how stupid it was of her. The ralts being disorientated about being captured started firing off confuse rays randomly, this in turn hit saffy who became confused and fired off her own embers across the room, scorching the chairs and walls and floors she also set fire to an unlucky trainer with messy hair and a Pikachu on his shoulder, other trainers in the pokecentre released their water Pokémon and put the fires out.

Hailey sighed nurse joy had been very pleasant about the whole fiasco and tried to reassure her that it happened all the time, Hailey of course didn't believe her and quickly ate breakfast and left with her head hanging in shame.

She set off travelling again hastily making her way to Petalburg city , knowing the gym leader was far to strong for beginner trainers she walked straight through and onto Petalburg woods, where she had her mind set on proving herself as a competent trainer.

The forest was quiet and uneventful for the most part, only the occasional bug trainer battled her and their pathetic wurmples went down with a single attack. She sighed she'd been expecting more of a challenge and the woods had so far disappointed her, it wasn't that she wanted her Pokémon to be in danger, it was her thirst for adrenaline the thirst that only battling could quench.

This however was about to change...

Hailey's POV

She turned the corner and saw a young man in a business suit approaching her

"Um hello" the man began nervously "have you seen any shroomish around? I love that Pokémon.." Hailey had to bite her lip to keep herself from laughing, the man looked like he had been dragged through a hedge backwards, There were branches poking out his hair, mud was smeared on his face and his suit was tattered and torn.

Before she could answer him a man in a stupid red costume sauntered over

"You're a Pokémon trainer aren't you, help me!" the Devon researcher cried trying to hide behind Hailey

I've been sitting here all day waiting for you to put down those goods of yours, but you've been waddling around here all day like an idiot! Enough's enough!" he shouted, sending out a Poocheyena, which growled at the two of us viciously.

I walked in past the man to battle the oddly dressed trainer, seeing that he was without any Pokémon himself – a foolish move, but that didn't matter now.

The trainer laughed at me. "pss, you need a teenage twit to help you out? How pathetic! Do you even know who the hell I am?" He asked, obviously full of himself.

"No, you see. I'm not from around here." I spoke coldly. "And I only make a point of recognizing those who're important, you see? So, needless to say... I won't be remembering that ugly mug of yours anytime soon." I jabbed. "Now saffy, let's put this loser in his place, shall we?" I asked.

She nodded confidently and jumped down gracefully down from my shoulder to the battle field.

He pointed at me, catching his Dark type Pokémon's attention. "Go, use Bite!" He ordered, furious at the situation.

I was initially surprised by his directing the attack at me, but brushed it off quickly, having only recently suspected he just might go and do that. "Saffy, use Quick Attack to intercept!" I countered.

Saffy ran from behind me as a quickened pace, smashing its head into the Poochyena's ribs. It let out a yelp and was knocked back, but got back up, ready to attack again.

"Gah! Go, Tackle it!" He commanded. The small Bite Pokémon obeyed, making a b-line towards my Vulpix at a surprising speed.

Knowing Saffy was unable to counter such a move physically, so I decided to go with its specialty. "Alright Saffy! Time for an ember attack!" I shouted.

The Vulpix took a breath in and exhaled, letting out the scorching attack, which brightened the forest with its intense flames. The enemy Pokémon barked out in pain, leading me to feel sorry for it, having taking the brunt of all this for it's trainer.

In a moment's time, the smoke cleared up, revealing the small Pokémon to have fainted, lying motionless on the ground. The trainer returned his Pokémon, looking disappointed, disgusted and enraged by his, and the Poochyena's performance.

The enemy trainer scowled and returned his Pokémon. Then, he turned to us. "You little... You've got nerve messing with Team Magma!" He shouted. "But it doesn't matter... We have something we're after in Rustboro, you see." He trailed off, before realizing the lot of us were still here, eying him dangerously... "I'll... I'll let you off for today, you!" He shouted, taking off into the direction he came from.

The man I had nearly forgotten about spoke up.

"Wow that was close! If you hadn't come along..." He paused. "Well, let's just be glad you did! Here, take this." He said, taking my hand and placing in it what I knew to be a great ball. "It's not much, but I'd all I really have on me right now..." He said, seeming unsatisfied with the reward he'd given me.

"Oh, no! This is more than enough! Thanks a lot!" I said happily, gladly pocketing the ball.

It was just then that his expression went to a distant, thoughtful one. Then, all of a sudden, his expression was overcome with alarm. "But wait... didn't he say he wanted something in Rustboro...?" He asked. I went to answer, but he seemed to have asked the question without expecting an answer. "Oh no, it's a disaster! Sorry, I need to go now!" He shouted, running down the path to the right side of the one I had come from.

I was about to ask him to stop so he might give me some direction when I realized he'd just said he was pretty much going to Rustboro. Smiling, I followed.

...

I went to the Pokémon Centre and dropped off my Pokémon to be healed. While I was waiting, I went to the town's mart and stocked up on some more supplies, noting that the ones I had steadily wore thin with small battles along my way. I'd wanted to challenge the leader today, but I'd noticed that the time had flown right past me – it already being 7:45PM when I got back to the centre.

I quietly sat at a small table by the windows of the centre my Pokémon all eating their food around me as I ate a side of plain salad and some chicken. As they ate, however, they seem to chat amongst one and other. I smiled a bit thinking about what they were talking about.

I sighed, looking down at my half eaten meal. I wasn't in the mood for eating right now, and decided to call it a night once my Pokémon finished their food. I was excited about my Gym battle, yes... But it would be advantageous to us if we were fully rested when we went and did so. And besides, I wasn't even sure if the gyms were open at this time. I wasn't about to make my way there and find out it was close for the night.

Feeling a tad bit lonely, I looked over at my Pokémon, smiling a bit. How silly I was for wanting to start a conversation with beings I couldn't even fully understand. "So, are you guys all ready for the gym tomorrow?" I asked. I'd gone over the while fiasco with them earlier, explaining everything about the Pokémon league, and they seemed pretty up for it.

They cheered happily, seeming as rambunctious as ever. I stared off out the window again, deep in thought. I was at a loss as to what type of Pokémon the leader would have. I mean, it seemed to be a bit of a tradition among leagues to have Rock-type gym leaders as their first, but... Falkner from Violet City back in Johto broke out of that stereotype, using Flying type.

I snapped out of my thoughts, seeing my Pokémon finished their meal. I went on and cleaned up most of the mess at my table, not wanting to leave too much a mess for the busy nurse. I was surprised the lady wasn't running around the building snapping necks, seeing how busy she was.

Having actually found my way through the building, I opened my door, letting in my Pokémon, who scattered through the room, playing something along the lines of tag. I followed behind, locking the door and dropped my things by the side of my bed.

The room was a fair size with off white walls, a few paintings and a large sliding window leading to a small deck on the wall across from me. To my right was a door which I was sure lead to a washroom. The room was simply, though, having only a bed in the far left corner with a night stand before it and a large dresser on the far side of the right wall.

Satisfied with the room, I turned to my team. "Alright, I'm going to get cleaned up and ready for bed. Be good, okay?" I asked. They nodded me off quickly before going back to their game. I could have returned them all, yes... But they seemed to be having too much fun for that.

Wasting no time, I immediately entered the washroom, shed my clothes and near dove into the warm shower, which made the hairs stand up on my back, it felt so good...

I exited the bathroom in a pair of pyjamas that was made up of an oversized yellow shirt with a pair of shorts made of a thin material with a mareep pattern on them. I looked a little childish like this, but I didn't care whatsoever. They were the most comfortable I'd ever owned, and I'd be damned if I let someone make me stop wearing them.

I was happy to see that my Pokémon had tired them out, and now slept through various points in my room. Vulpix slept in the pile of clothing I had thrown onto the floor, too lazy to deal with right now with Ralts snuggling into its tails. It was a cute sight, really – I regretted not taking along a camera now. Maybe I'd go and do that tomorrow.

Seeing everything was okay, I decided to finally get to bed, slowly crawling into the comfortable, soft bed with cotton blankets and shuffled around briefly before settling with a nice position. From there, it seemed like only seconds before I fell asleep.
