When I got to Route 2, my X Transciever started ringing. I opened it and saw mom on the screen. "Hey baby! I'm heading to you right now! Hold on."

A few minutes later, my mom came through the gate, panting.

"You move fast, here, I finished cleaning up the house and found these, could you please give them to Touya?"

"Sure mom! Thanks for checking on me, bye!" I took the shoes and ran further into Route 2.

"Hey! Want to see something cool?" A young boy with a blue hat and shorts asked me.

"Um… Sure! What is it?"

"Watch this!" He took a few steps back, and jumped off the edge of the road. I walked over and looked down. His head was at my feet, and he was grinning like he accomplished the most difficult thing in the world, "Pretty cool, huh?"

"Um, not really, you just jumped off a ledge. And you can climb back up easily."

"Yeah, but that takes so long!"

"Ookay… I'll be going now…" I walked away quickly.

After a while of walking, I finally reached the end of Route 2. It's a shame I couldn't catch any pokemon here either. I even ran into a Purrloin and couldn't catch it. I heard a voice calling my name.

"Toukoooo!" A green, orange, white and yellow blur crashed into me.

"Oops! Sorry Touko!" Bianca apoligized, fixing her green beret.

"Pay attention, okay Bianca?"

"Right, I'll try to! Anyway, I wanted to have a battle with you!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! It'll be your first battle!" She looked at me for comfirmation, "This IS your first battle, right?" I nodded and she cheered, "Yay! Ok, Tepig, go!" The little fire pig popped out of it's poke ball.

"Draco, give it your all!" I sent out my blue dragon and the battle began, "Let's start off with Twister!"

Draco whirled it's tail around and a mini tornado flew towards Tepig. Tepig flew into the tornado and was whirled around.

"Oh no! Tepig! Um, use Tackle on Draco!" Tepig flinched and looked back and Bianca.

"Tepig?!"

"Now, Draco, use Thunder Wave to Paralyze Tepig!" Draco pointed it's white stubby horn at Tepig and yellow waves came out of it. Tepig stumbled and froze in place.

"Ah! Tepig, move, come on, you can do it!" Tepig did it's best but to no avail. He was stuck.

"Now, Draco, finish him of with Twister!" Draco whipped up another whirlwind that Tepig got caught in. Tepig landed on the ground, fainted.

"Woah…." Bianca stared at me, her eyes wide.

"Draco, return! You did great!" I returned Draco to it's poke ball and noticed Bianca staring at me.

"That… Was… AMAZING!" Bianca shouted, waving her arms around. "You're total an awesome battler like Touya!"

"Um, it's not like that… I was just lucky." I muttered.

"Are you kidding?! That was awesome! Come on, we've got to tell Touya!" Before I could refuse, I was being dragged into Straiton City with Bianca.

"Are you sure Touya is here?" I asked Bianca after we stopped in front of a Trainer school.

"Of course he is silly! Where else would he be?" She opened the door and rushed in. A few seconds later, she came out, her head down, "He's not there…"

"Bianca, really? You can't expect him to still be here after an hour you know… After he battled me, he went to the Dreamyard. He thought that getting a Pansear would help him beat the gym leaders here," Cheren explained.

"Then let's go to Dreamyard!" Bianca once again grabbed hold of my hand.

"I'll come with you, but only because I want to have a rematch with Touya sooner or later," Cheren announced.

"Great, you come to!" Bianca grabbed Cheren's hand as well.

"W-Wait! Bianca-,"Cheren started but never got to finish because Bianca started running towards Dreamyard.

Once we got there, a purple and white monkey with a hand tail smacked into me.

"Ooh-hoo!" It grabbed my purse and ran away.

"Hey! Come back here with my purse you thieving monkey!" I shouted and ran after it.

"Touko wait!" Cheren called.

"Draco's in that purse, I can't let it go!" I shouted over my shoulder and sped up.

When I caught up to it, it was between a small tree and me. It climbed up the tree and disappeared.

"Oh no you don't!" I grabbed the tree and started climbing up slowly. When I got on top of it, which took about two steps, I fell onto the other side of it. I looked around and saw the Aipom run into what looked like an old building.

"Come back here!" I ran after it again, but stopped when I heard voices.

"Hey, look at this guy, he's got a purse!"

"Heh, you're right… I wonder if it's a trainers…"

"So what if it is? We'll keep it regardless."

At this, I was fuming. They wouldn't dare keep MY purse, and MY pokemon! I ran into the building and saw two of those Team Plasma grunts.

"Oh, look here! That must be the owner of this purse. And to be out here, she must be a Trainer as well!"

"Gimmie back my purse you jerks!"

"No way! If you have pokemon in here, we can release it into the wild!" One of them laughed.

"Ooh-hoo!" Aipom jumped on the Grunt's foot and grabbed the bag from him and ran over to me, hiding behind my legs.

"Ow! You little brat, you're going to pay for that!"

"Don't forget our mission! We have to find Munna right now," the female grunt reminded the one who had my purse.

"Mu…" A pink pokemon with purple flowers on it appeared, looking rather sleepy.

"That's Munna! We must have woken it up!"

"Perfect, let's get it to give us Dream Mist then!" The male grunt started to kick the Munna, which sank to the ground from the blows.

"Hey! You can't just go and hurt a pokemon like that!"

"Says who? We can do what we want with this thing!"

"Stop it right there!" Touya appeared next to me, "No pokemon deserves to be treated that way, what you're doing is wrong!"

"Ha! And what are you going to do to stop me, little brat?" The man asked.

"I'm going to beat you in a battle, grunt!" Touya sent out his Oshawott.

"Alright, I'll deal with this brat, you get the Dream Mist," the male grunt said, sending out his Patrat, "Use Bite on that Oshawott!" Patrat's teeth locked onto Oshawott's tail and Oshawott ran around in panic.

"Oshawott, it's okay, use Focus Energy!" Oshawott stood still, focusing, "Now, use Tackle on the wall with your tail!" Oshawott ran towards the wall and smacked Patrat into it. From the impact, it let go of Oshawott's tail.

"Now, use water gun to finish it off!"

"Oh no you don't, Patrat, use Bite again!" Patrat stood up, but didn't move away in time to avoid Oshawott's Water Gun and ended up fainting.

"Argh! Now you've done it! You… You…"

"Me what?" Touya smirked. Oh boy, he was getting cocky again.

"Um, you battle him! Avenge me!"

"No way! If both of our pokemon faint, how are we going to get the Dream Mist from this Munna?"

"You fools!" a familiar voice shouted. I looked to my left and froze. It was Ghetsis, "Not only can you not get Dream Mist, but you are defeated by a mere child!" Another Ghetsis appeared at the right side of the building, "If you don't do your job." They joined together to become one Ghetsis.

"Oh no! This isn't Ghetsis when he's giving speeches to manipulate people." The man started.

"Or when he's giving us praise…" The female grunt added.

"Yeah, this is Ghetsis when we have failed a mission, and is about to issue punishment!" The male grunt finished.

"Let's run and hope he forgives us!" They both quickly ran out of the building. Then Ghetsis disappeared.

"What… Was that all about?" a voice behind me asked. I jumped and whirled around.

"Bianca! Don't scare me like that!"

"Oh! Sorry, I didn't mean to. By the way, I found the girl that owns the Aipom. She has some other pokemon too!"

"So… This guy is… A thief!" I looked down and saw my purse missing again.

"At times, yes, he can be. But he's usually quite well-behaved." a girl walked into view and was holding Aipom. Aipom had a defeated look on it's face, "Now, give the purse back to the nice lady, Aipom."

Aipom slowly walked over to me and help up my purse, "Thank you Aipom!"

"He ran into us when we were headed over here," Cheren had a cute blue monkey with it's eyes closed walking next to him.

"He's one of my pokemon. But.. I can't keep him. In fact, I can't keep any of them. It's just not safe for them here anymore," the little girl said sadly.

"Wait… Them? Who's them?" I asked her.

"Oh! That's right! I haven't introduced you to them yet, have I?" She pointed to a red monkey on Touya's head, "That's Pansear, then the green monkey by Bianca is Pansage, and you've already seen Panpour over here."

"I know!" Bianca shouted as if she just had a brilliant idea, "Why don't you take Aipom with you?"

"Are you sure that's a good idea Bianca?" I asked her.

"Sure! Here, take his poke ball," the little girl handed me a regular poke ball, "Since you all are trainers traveling the Unova region, I just know these four will have a lot of fun traveling with you!"

"Um, sure… Thanks."

"Okay, bye!" she turned to leave, but then looked at me, "By the way, Aipom doesn't like being in pokeballs. He just isn't use to it yet, that's all. I'm sure he'll warm up to it later." She then left.

"Okay, I guess you're my pokemon now Aipom." I told the little monkey

"Ooh!" Aipom folded it's arms and faced the other way.

"Yeah, I'm not to hot about the idea either, but we'll just have to deal with it."

"Hey, have all of you forgotten about the Munna?" Bianca shouted.

"Oh, right! Sorry!"

There was a large purple and pink pokemon next to it.

"Huh? Is that a Mushurna? What's it doing here?" Bianca wondered aloud.

"It's Munna's friend, I bet it made those illusions to protect it!" Touya said.

The two of the pokemon looked at us and smiled, then left.

"Oh, they left something behind!" Bianca ran over to where they were and picked up something pink. How she saw that, I'll never know, "It's dream mist! I need to give this to Professer Fennel, she needs it for her research!"

"Who's Professor Fennel?" I asked Bianca.

"Oh, I'll show you later. Right now, I need to go and give her this!" Bianca rushed off.

"Wait up Bianca!" Cheren ran after her, "That tree's still there, and you could drop it!"

"Touko, there's something I wanted to ask you…" Touya looked at me with his best serious face, but I could see he was trying to hide his excitement, "Will you team up with me to battle at the Straiton Gym?"

"Sure."

"YES! She wants to do it! YEAH!" Touya pumped his fists into the the air and jumped around.

"Gosh Touya, it's not that serious," I looked at Aipom, who was still looking the other way, "Oh yeah! I forgot to give you a nickname!"

"Now… What should it be?"


Okay, there's chapter 2. Now, I know, I defied the laws of physics by making Touko do things you normally can't do in the games. This will probably be the only chapter I'll do that.

Next, yeah, I kinda skipped that second grunt battle mostly because I wanted to do something else with it.

And here's the first poll! All of you get to vote and decide what Aipom's nickname will be! Please, be appropriate and UN-offensive.

Okay, that's all for now!
