Last time we left off with Jesse arriving in Petalburg City.
After training on my way back, I felt I was ready to take on the Petalburg gym, until I met this one trainer.
"Norman is one of the strongest gym leaders in Hoenn" said the trainer after I told him I was just a beginner.
"When I first started my journey I went to Rustboro City to battle Roxanne."
"Okay thanks for the advice" I said.
"Sorry for not introducing myself. My name is Eddie and I'm from Petalburg City. I've traveled through Hoenn and Sinnoh and competed in their leagues. I'm now off to Johto to try to get eight badges and compete in the their league." "Whats your name?"
"I'm Jesse Sparks from Cianwood City in Johto and I just started my journey four days ago with my Aipom. I just visited my aunt in Littleroot Town and I've also caught a Makuhita and a Swablu."
"That's great, I wish you luck on your journey and I hope we meet again. My ferry leaves in thirty minutes, so I have to go. Bye!" Eddie said.
"I hope I see you again too. Goodbye!" Jesse said. After that Jesse headed to the Petalburg Woods.
Route 104 was the route I had to get through to get the Petalburg Woods, it was a short route, I had one trainer battle, in which I won. I also trained a little and fought some wild pokemon, but it still only took about an hour to get to the Petalburg Woods.
Once I was in the woods I battled countless weak trainers, most of them being bug catchers, it was getting boring and my pokemon weren't getting any better. But, while taking a break, I heard a voice.
"Hey are you not a weak trainer cause I'm sick of fighting them" said the other trainer.
"I'm also tired of fighting weak trainers, so lets battle" I yelled back
"Okay, lets battle two on two, go Lombre" said the other trainer.
I didn't know what a Lombre was, so I used my pokedex and found out it was grass and water. It was a perfect match up for Swablu, so I decided to use it.
"Swablu use peck on Lombre" I yelled
"Lombre dodge it, then use bubblebeam" yelled the other trainer. Lombre's bubblebeam hit Swablu right on, but Swablu still continued to fight.
"Swablu use peck on Lombre" yelled Jesse. After Lombre dodged it, Jesse told Swablu to chase it until it was able to hit Lombre. Lombre tried using bubblebeam to stop Swablu, but Swablu dodged it. Swablu then finally hit Lombre with its super effective peck attack. After that, the battle started to heat up.
"Lombre use fury swipes" yelled the other trainer
"Swablu use fury cutter" Jesse responded. Both pokemon collided with each other at the same time. Lombre was quicker to recover and therefore was able to hit Swablu with fury swipes. Lombre's fury swipes hurt Swablu greatly.
"Lombre end this with a bubblebeam." Swablu was to slow to dodge and was ultimately knocked out by the bubblebeam.
"You did great Swablu" Jesse said as it returned to its pokeball. "Now go Makuhita."
"Maku Makuhita!" yelled the excited pokemon
"Makuhita use arm thrust" Jesse yelled. Arm thrust hit Lombre, Lombre then countered with fury swipes, but it was not very effective. Lombre then tried another fury swipes but right as it got close Makuhita used arm thrust, after the powerful arm thrust hit Lombre, it fell to the ground knocked out.
"That was a smart move by you. But your not going to win this battle, go Bagon" said the opposing trainer.
"Bagon use ember" the ember attack hit Makuhita.
"Makuhita hang in there and use arm thrust." said Jesse
"Bagon counter it with dragonbreath", Bagon's dragonbreath hit Makuhita right before it was about to hit Bagon.
"Now Bagon use headbutt."
"Makuhita use tackle" Jesse said. Both pokemon collided with each other, but Makuhita got right back up and hit Bagon with arm thrust. Bagon then used ember, Makuhita dodged and used a move Jesse didn't know it could use. He then realized Makuhita was using force palm. Makuhita's force palm was really strong and it hit Bagon dead on. Bagon then retaliated with dragonbreath. The battle continued on both pokemon seemed worn out after awhile.
"Bagon hang in there and use ember."
"Makuhita dodge it" Jesse yelled. But Makuhita was too tired to dodged, so the attack hit it.
"Now Bagon use dragonbreath", Bagon's dragonbreath attack hit Makuhita. The damage the attack had caused was too much for Makuhita to continue on. Makuhita fainted a couple seconds later, ending the battle in a defeat for Jesse.
"That was a great battle, my name is Anthony, I have five badges and have caught five pokemon. Who are you?"
"My name is Jesse I just started my journey a few days ago and I am going to challenge the Rustboro gym soon."
"Your good for a beginner, I'll see around, I'm going to challenge Norman", Anthony said.
"See ya" I said.
I walked in the woods for about another hour until I got out. Once I got out I saw a travelers hut and decided to settle in it since it was almost eight o'clock. I was about to go to sleep until I heard someone calling for help. Once I heard them I ran down the road, to see two men trying to steal three little kid's pokemon.
"Give them back" I yelled.
"Just yelling at us won't make us give them back" said the two men.
"Give them back" yelled a girl with brown hair who looked a year or two older than me.
"Okay you'll have to defeat us first then" said the two men
The two men sent out a Tentacool and a Dustox. I sent out Aipom and the girl sent out a Torkoal. The girl and I easily defeated the to men who seemed like they didn't know how battle.
"Give them their pokemon back" said the girl. The men gave back the pokemon then ran away. The little kids thanked Jesse and the girl and then ran home.
"Those were pokemon poachers, they steal pokemon from people and sell them on the pokemon black market. The pokemon rangers and the police think they work for one man named Grant. I'm trying to help because I just earned my Junior Pokemon Ranger badge" said the girl.
"Have you heard of Team Lunar?" I asked.
"Yes, pokemon rangers and the police are trying to get to the bottom of their plans, their a crime organzation and nobody knows their plans" said the girl.
"I stopped a worker for Team Lunar because he stole another man's documents" I said.
"Thats great, my name is Jackie, whats your?"
"I'm Jesse, I just became a trainer four days ago and I'm from Cianwood City in Johto."
"I"m from Slateport City" Jackie said. "I have to go set up camp now so bye."
"Bye" I said.
After that, I went back to the travelers hut and went to bed.
Next time, Jesse arrives in Rustboro City
Sorry about the wait guys, I just started two a days for football, so I'm really tired when I get home.
