Chapter 4: A Change Of Plans

Aden, Maegan, and Sidney prepare to leave for Unova when they realize "Maybe we should challenge the gyms here first you know just so we have experience, besides it would be good considering Mijuna would be near incase of another attack like the one that just happened not 2 days ago." Maegan suggested.

Aden and Sidney nodded in agreement. "Fine, but we have to do these gym battle quickly we must get to Unova before half a year!" Aden thought of all the new Pokemon they would be able to catch when they got over there. Snivys, Minccinos, Pidoves, Elektross, and a load of other awesome pokemon they have never see before including Zekrom and Reshiram.

Maegan looked at the gym Building in La'rush unfortunately the leader was one of the people who ran from the city all the way to a boat headed to Kanto. "He probobly wont be back for a few weeks, Kanto is a 5 day trip from Jurnia!" Aden said looking at Maegan then to the shrine where Maegan's newest pokemon Mijuna used to rest.

Mijuna now clung to Maegan's item bag. it snuck uts way into the back pocket, using psychic to unzip the zipper, and crawled inside the pocket. "Ah i like this better than that drowsy old shrine cave."

Maegan reached back and scratched behind Mijuna's ear and zipped the zipper up letting Mijuna sleep in peace. Maegan then hugged Aden and looked intensely at Sidney ". . ." Sidney stared back wonder why she was staring at him so strongly. He began to blush and she said it "Why are you adventuring with Aden?"

Sidney stopped and thought about the question for a minute. "Something just Clicked when we met, our personalities are same in some ways but we balance each other! whenever one of us gets in a fight we can count on the other to have our backs i guess."

Maegan looked at his stance it was composed she figured it meant he was telling the truth. "Not one selfish reason? not one at all?" she asked expecting to hear a yes

"Well i suppose his friendship is that a selfish reason i mean we both need help and i wanted to get stronger like him i don't want to be the best just able to hold my own in a battle without needing as much help as i do now." Sidney said looking at Maegan's mouth shaping around word but not a sound came out of her mouth just the movements

He read her lips it was as if she said "You have my trust and my friendship too!" He smiled a bit and then Aden reminded them.

"Hey if we want to hurry and beat all the gyms we should stop playing around and start walking towards Jecalin Town!" Aden stared at the road and the two others quickly walked to him and they took there first steps on the road to there first destination together.

~ About Twenty-Three Minutes later~

"Okay guys lets stop here to take a rest and eat." Maegan said as she pulled out a batch of cookies and several eatable berries and fruits.

Aden and Sidney rrubbed there hands together and began to scarf down food after food while Dewott, Arcinin, Growlith, Tepig, Zorua, and Mijuna just ate pokemon food and drank fresh water.

~Thirty minutes later~

Aden, Maegan and Sidney Pack leftovers into there bags and return there pokemon to there pokeballs and continue walking towards Jecalin Town. another twenty-three and they should be there, but they where prolonged by a wild Makuhita. Aden was able to defeat it but it was to weak to catch by the end of the battle s they sprayed it with a potion patched up the wounds and brought it to a safe place where it could heal in peace and they began to to leave, when the Makuhita grabbed Aden's hoodie and pulled him to the ground. Aden looked at it between the eyes and noticed its apprehension to let go, but it did. Aden looked at it and said " Do you want to come with me on my journey?" Happily the Makuhita Nodded and Aden lightly tapped a pokeball on its forehead and it was sucked into the pokeball and the button on the pokeball flashed red and the ball twitched three times then the light turned out and a click sounded letting Aden know Makuhita was captured. Aden released Makuhita and then walked with Maegan, Sidney, and Makuhita all the to Jecalin Town.

~In Jecalin Town~

Aden, Maegan, Sidney, and Makuhita entered Jecalin Town with great joy that they had finally made it to the first destination on there long Journey. Aden raced with Makuhita to the gym and entered declaring "I want a Gym battle!" Maegan and Sidney came in behind his embarrassed.

"Us too!" Maegan and Sidney said with a little embarrassment in there voices.

The Gym leader, Raigen looked at them and slowly walked towards them. " I'd love to! who's first?" he asked looking from Maegan to Sidney to Aden then pointed at Maegan and said "you! you'll be the first one to fight me!"

Maegan had a surprised look on her face "Me first?" She looked terrified as Raijen Drug her to the Battle Arena. She gulped as Raigen sent out a Bronzong and Manectric. "hey girl! this is a dual pokemon battle send out two pokemon and whichever sides pokemon are still standing wins!"

Maegan looking slightly worried sent out her Tepig and Mijuna. the two pokemon of Maegan's pokemon stared down Bronzong and Manectric, as Bronzong and Manectric stared down Tepig and Mijuna Tepig began to feel scared but Mijuna simply comtinued staring uneffected by feelings of worry or fear.

"Bronzong use Psychic Pulse and Manectric used Zolt Tackle!" Raigen yelled as a light pulse shot from Bronzong's bell-like body towards Mijuna, and Manectric was surrounded in Lighting and zig zagging towards Tepig. Maegan stood thinking what attack to yell out to save her poor helpless Pokemon.
