/Last time our heroes has traveled into Route 3 and decided to help an elderly couple who runs the pokemon daycare center. There they meet Draco a Dragon trainer and an abandoned Blitzle. After a harsh storm and a long night Whitney and Blake get up the next day and leaves and to their surprise Blitzle has decided to stay with Whitney and Draco has also decided to restart his travels with them as well./
"Emolga Quick attack." Draco called out and the pokemon made quickly zipped through the air and tackled into Blake's Patrat.
"Ah no" Blake said as his Patrat had fainted, the two had decided to battle after they had ate their lunch.
"Good job Emolga" Draco praised and his pokemon flew to his shoulder.
"Return Patrat" Blake said calling back his pokemon. He turned to Draco "Good battle" he said admitting his defeat.
"Thanks. I guess we better get going" he said and his Emolga happily sat on his head.
"Your Emolga is real strong" Whitney said looking very impressed.
The happy Emolga zipped around happily before landing on her hat. "Of course I'm strong! Thanks though"
"Yes who is just too proud for his own good" he said and she smiled enjoying the shot little one on one pokemon battle and soon they hit the road again.
Soon a rustle could be heard and a girl around their age with rusty brown hair that was pulled into a short ponytail and grey eyes that were filled with worry. "Oh good it's other people out here." She said leaning over as she tried catching her breath.
"What's going on?" Blake asked.
"Some people dressed in weird clothing asked to battle….but I lost….and…and they took my Audino…my poor Audie…" the girl's eyes was water as her eyes was down casted. "They threw smoke screen at me and ran off and I've been looking for them for awhile now…please help me" she begged them.
"Looks like you don't deserve to be a trainer huh" Draco responded darkly.
"Don't say that. Team Plasma is a bad group of people who want pokemon to be free from trainers…even the good ones like us!" Blake said to Draco. "Of course we will help you get your Audino back" Blake said turning to the girl.
"What is your name by the way?" Whitney asked.
"I'm Amy…what are your names?" she asked.
"Blake."
"Whitney and the rude guy over there is Draco" Whitney said introducing herself. "Don't worry Amy we will help you" she said to her and they ran off into the woods.
"Pidove, I choose you, help us look for Team Plasma!" she said summoning her bird pokemon who took to the skys with a loud cry.
"Careful they will take your pokemon too." Amy said.
"Psh, I will not let that happen" she said and her Pidove flew higher into the sky to search. Soon caves and mountains appeared and they just saw people run in.
"There they are!" Amy exclaimed picking up speed and running into the cave followed by Blake, Whitney and Draco.
"Team Plasma give Amy her Audino back!" Blake said grabbing his pokeball.
"Fine let's go! Go Woobat!"
"Go Trubbish, use sludge" the other team plasma member called out and the pokemon shot out a purple ball at them.
"Emolga, Electroball!"
"Pidove, air slash!"
"Woobat use Air slash too"
The two air slash collided and Emolga's ball of electricity hits the Trubbish.
"I wish I had another pokemon…then I could have fought" Amy said looking down.
"Don't worry! Tepi let's go use ember!" he said and embers flew out the pig's nose, joining the fight.
"Argh lousy kids."
"Let's run." They returned their pokemon but before they could leave the floor caved in under them and they fell, a stray pokeball flew into the air as they fell which Pidove quickly swooped in to grab.
"I hope it's my Audie" Amy said taking the pokeball before tossing it into the air. Sure enough the pink pokemon stood tall and hugs the girl's legs, happy to see it's trainer.
"What just happened?" Draco asked glad they didn't fall in.
"The ground just gave way" Whitney said and Blake grabbed her wrist.
"Let's go before we cave in too" Blake said and the trainers left the cave and were outside again.
"Thanks so much for saving my Audie" she said and the pokemon dipped it's head to give thanks.
"You are welcome. Train hard and get more pokemon to protect yourself against Team Plasma…try to avoid them because they are out for people's pokemon" Blake suggested.
"Thanks so much. I'll train hard. Next time my pokemon won't be taken from me" Amy said going back into the woods to probably train.
"It really feels good when we help someone out" Whitney said smiling and turned to her Pidove. "Good job buddy, return" she said calling back her pokemon.
"Same, good job Emolga" he said to his pokemon who was safely perched on his head.
"Return Tepi" Blake said calling his pokemon back.
At that moment a pokemon popped out the ground.
"Woah a Drilbur" Blake said and it held up its paws, it's claws covered in dirt and it waved it's arms around as if showing off slightly.
"Hmm…it could be a hunch…but I think it helped us stop team Plasma" Draco said and the pokemon nods and thumped it's chest proudly.
"Awesome, I'm going to catch this Drilbur. How about a battle?" he asked.
"Come on! I accept the challenge human."
"Purrloin I choose you!" he called out his cat pokemon who just look nonchalant at the mole pokemon.
Instantly Drilbur dug underground.
"Watch out, buddy" Blake said and Purrloin listened for the pokemon to come out. Dirt was loosening up nearby and Blake notice.
"Use Assist!" he said and the pokemon's paw light up.
"Isn't assist just a random move?" Draco said.
"It could work in his favor" Whitney said watching the battle unfold.
Drilbur came from the ground just as when Purrloin glowed red and it took the hit, falling to the ground and still turning red.
"Bibe….Purrloin use Bibe!" he said realizing one o his pokemon knew Bibe. After taking damage Purrloin tackled into Drilbur with the energy of his attack doubled sent back at it.
"Nice" Draco said.
Drilbur ran with shiny silver claws "It knows Metal claw!" Whitney said in amazement.
"Dodge it" Purrloin was able to flexibly dodge all the attacks. "Use fury swipes!" he said and the cat slashed madly with his claws.
Drilbur shook his head refusing to give in and launched in a fury swipe of its own. Purrloin manage to dodge a few before getting hit a few times.
"Use Assist again!" Blake called and Purrloin dodged out the way again as it's paw lit up and this time a jet of water came out and collides with the Drilbur.
"Woah" he said.
"It used Samu's watergun" Whitney said.
"Assist allows the pokemon to randomly use a move from the pokemon in the trainer's party…but never from a pokemon from another person's party" Draco said.
"Maybe because we are close enough to the battle and we've been traveling together for awhile now" Whitney said trying to find reason with the odd move.
"That's weird but it worked. Go pokeball" Blake tossed a pokeball and it collapsed on top of the pokemon before absorbing it into the pokeball. It wiggles for a moment before stopping.
"I caught a Drilbur!" he exclaimed.
"Good job" Whitney said highfiving the excited trainer who calls back his purrloin and calls out his newest addition. "Welcome to the team" he said to his pokemon who gave a smirk before holding out it's paw which Blake grabbed lightly and shook happy his pokemon had accepted being his newest addition.
The trainers have arrive in Nacrene City and Blake was too excited "YES! Next gym battle here I come!" Blake said excitedly.
"We should rest up a little bit don't you think" Whitney said to her overly eager friend.
"Aww…" Blake grumbled wanting to battle as soon as possible.
"Maybe he's forgotten how I beat his Patrat not to mention his Tepig and Purrloin may be a little worn out from battling" Draco said much to Blake's displeasure.
"Fine let's heal up from the pokemon center" Blake said and the three of them find the pokemon center where Audino took their pokeballs to prepare the healing process.
"So who will battle her first?" Draco points out.
"Good question" Blake said taking a moment to think. "Maybe you should go first Whitney, I did battle first last time" Blake said deciding to take turns.
"That's fine with me" Whitney said eager to take on a challenge first.
Soon Audino came out with treys containing the trainer's pokeballs and they received their pokemon back fully healed.
"Ok NOW we can go battle" Blake said.
"Alright alright let's go" Whitney said leaving the pokemon center and walking through town.
Up ahead they saw a guy bumped into a girl with black hair, knocking her books from her arms. When she bent down to gather her collection of books Blake was already there to help out.
"Here you go" he said as the girl stood with some of the books in her hand. She adjusted her glasses framing her brown eyes.
"Thanks, people are rude sometimes" she said looking at Blake and the other trainers. "I'm Mable by the way, I take it you are all trainers" she said.
"Yep, I'm Blake."
"Whitney, nice to meet you."
"Dragon trainer Draco."
"Cool, I take it you are on the way to the gym?" she asked.
"Yes where is it?" Whitney asked.
"Oh I help out over there. I'll show you" Mable said leading the trainers across the city it was a rather large building that had a museum sign as well as the pokeballs in front of the building signaling a gym.
"So it's a Museum and a gym. No wonder we didn't find it" Blake said.
"Yep, I work at the museum sometimes and just so you k now Lenora is a normal pokemon user" she said and when they entered it was a big room with many fossils, rocks and minerals on display as many pictures of ancient pokemon.
"Wow this is nice" Whitney said.
"Yep and the pride and joy of the museum is that full skeleton of that dragon looking pokemon" she said pointing to the most popular exhibits.
"You really into this stuff" Draco said noticing how her eyes lit up.
"But of course, my dream is go research ancient pokemon and find fossils to also add to this exhibit" Mable said excitedly.
"The gym part is up the stairs" she said point to the far end of the room where they saw a door. Once they arrived she opened the door which produced a huge library.
"I mostly help out in the Library compartment and sometimes the actual museum itself" Mable said.
"I see you brought trainers for me today Mable" a woman with wavy teal hair and brown skin appeared.
"Yes I have."
"So your Lenora? Would you mind having a gym battle against me and Blake?' Whitney asked.
"Sure thing." Lenora hits a button and the bookshelf shifts, revealing a staircase. "Follow me" she said going down followed by Draco, Whitney, and Blake.
"Good luck you guys, I have to return these books" Mable called before the shelf shifted back into its original position.
Below was a lit stadium and some seats on days she allowed spectators to watch. Lenora turned to the trainers "This may take some time with three trainers but who would like to go first?" Lenora asked knowing she had to heal her pokemon each time.
"I'm not challenging the gym, just them" Draco said.
"And I'm going first" Whitney replied.
"Alright get into position" Lenora said and Whitney went to the other side of the field, Draco and Blake sat down to watch the battle unfold.
"Lillipup!" Lenora called her pokemon out.
"Blitzle I choose you! Flame charge let's go" Whitney called and the pokemon stomps on the ground, covering itself in flames before charging full speed at the Lillipup.
"Shadow Ball" Lenora called and a purple black ball of energy shot towards the electric pokemon and it hit's stopping the flame charge. "That's it use Take down" and Lillipup is surrounded in gold before charging.
Blitzle was quick to react, turning away and reared on its front legs and used double kick by kicking out its back legs, sending Lillipup flying.
"Good job, quickly use spark" electricity covered the pokemon's body and swiftly moved in time to do the electric tackle before its opponent hits the ground.
"Wow Blitzle is strong" Blake said watching it battle.
"Indeed, I'm glad it now has the opportunity to use its strength now it's not in the daycare anymore" Draco said watching the battle unfold relatively impressed at Whitney.
"Lillipup!" Lenora called and her pokemon got to its paws, weakened from the constant attacks. "Use Roar" she said with a smirk. The pokemon's body was surrounded in red before roaring loudly and even Whitney could feel some type of wave even though she couldn't see it. Suddenly Blitzle returned into its ball and at random Samu was sent out.
'Shoot that's what roar does…guess I need to end it before she roars continuously' Whitney turned to her starter pokemon.
"Samu use water gun."
"Dodge and use take down." Lillipup was surrounded in gold as it charged towards the water pokemon.
"Tackle!" Whitney said and the oshawott came charging at the Lillipup.
"This surly can't work out…I mean take down is a much stronger attack" Draco said rubbing his chin.
"It will work out, it's Whitney we are talking about" Blake said, brown eyes wide and held confidence in his friend.
Sure enough water formed around Samu and he flew into straight into the charging Lillipup, the collision sent both pokemon flying backwards with Samu on his feet and Lillipup falling to the ground.
"Awesome Aqua Jet buddy!" she said and the oshawott thumped his chest.
Lillipup was no longer able to battle "Good job there trainer" Lenora returned her fainted Lillipup. "But can you handle my Watchog?" she asked sending out her final pokemon.
"Ok return" she said calling back her pokemon and then sends out Blitzle again who's mane sparked up and scuffled its feet on the ground.
"Mean look." Watchog's eyes glowed and so did Blitzle for a moment.
Whitney knew she could not call back her pokemon no matter what. "Quick attack let's go!" Blitzle took off in a sprint and tackled into the pokemon and it landed on its feet ready to continue.
"Watchog use tackle."
"Use Flame charge."
Watchog ran close "Low kick." She calls out and it changed it's attack and quickly kick's at Blitzle's legs making it fall to the ground.
"Come on Blitzle quick attack."
"Use confuse ray." Lenora watched as Watchog's eyes glowed and an orb came and flew to Blitzle.
"Oh no it's confused. Try and fight it use spark" she said and in a cloudy confused vision the Blitzle ran at Watchog but ended up swerving away and heading for a wall.
"This is bad, Blitzle can end up hurting himself and causing her the match" Blake said becoming worried.
Meanwhile Blitzle continuously tried charging at Watchog blindly while Watchog either uses Low kick and trips up the pokemon or knock it off its course.
"You should just give up, you will only cause harm to your Blitzle" Lenora said.
"Come on Blitzle, snap out of it!" Whitney called in her final attempt to control Blitzle and this time its cloudy blue eyes became clear again and it shook it's head.
"Yes flame charge!" she said and surrounding itself in flames it charged, colliding into watchog and knocking it out.
"That was a good turn around for you" Lenora said calling back her pokemon. She hands out a long slim rectangular shaped badge that was purple and gold. "I present to you with the Basic badge, congrats on your victory" Lenora said.
"Yay good job" Blake said coming down from the seats to congratulate her with Draco.
"Thanks, Blitzle, you did great" she said turning her attention to the electric pokemon and returns him.
"LENORA! Come quick, Team Plasma has stolen the dragon skull from the exhibit!" Mable had ran down the steps and Lenora looked up with shock and turned to Blake.
"I'm sorry our battle will have to wait." She said leaving upstairs.
"Come on let's see if we can help" Blake said.
"I think we should just stay out of it, I mean if the gym leader is involved then those weak Team Plasma doesn't stand a chance" Draco said.
"Either way we can't stay down here, let's just see if it's anything we can do" Whitney said agreeing with Blake and the three of them ran up the stairs and out the Library and into the museum where people had fled the scene after the crime. Going outside they saw Mable and Lenora talking to a slim man with glasses who look quite frightened.
"I'm telling you dear, they swooped in and before I could even think they swooped the dragon's head of the exhibit and took off…I thought I heard them say they were doing to Pinwheel forest" he said.
"Alright then Hawes, I'll get to it" Lenora said and turned to see Blake and Whitney still here. "Again sorry I can't finish the gym battle" she said.
"We want to help, we've dealt with Team Plasma before" Whitney said.
"Alright come on, to Pinwheel forest!" she said running off with Mable and the others follow.
"Did you win?" she asked while they were running.
"I did but everything happened soon as my battle was over, Blake has yet to battle" Whitney said as she continued to run through the city with them.
They reach the outskirts and Lenora turned to the trainers "You guys can come with me, Mable, take Whitney and go that way" she said deciding its best they split up. "We have to find Team Plasma" Lenora said looking determined.
"Alright be careful Whitney" Draco comments before running of after Blake and Lenora.
"Don't worry, I know the forest ok" said Mabel and she lead Whitney into the forest.
Soon enough they spot two Team Plasma members one male and one female "Look at these kids." The girl said.
"Well if this is who we have to face then this should be easy!" The guy tosses out a Sandile
"Go Purrloin!"
"Alright, let's go Tympole!" Mabel tossed summoned her pokemon much to Whitney's surprise.
"You have a pokemon?" she asked.
"Yep, for when I finally decide to go to the Desert resort where fossils are generally found. And in the desert is mostly ground types so a water pokemon would be best" she said.
"Go Lillipup!" Whitney called out her pokemon.
There were many Team Plasma members spread out in the forest and even though Mable and Whitney had some healing supplies the pokemon were getting worn out, particularly Tympole who was Mabel's only pokemon.
"Well look who I found, if it isn't Whitney" N said appearing from the trees.
"N" Whitney said surprise to see the weird trainer again.
"Is he from Team Plasma?" Mabel asked grabbing her pokeball.
"No, but I would like to battle you again Whitney" he said grabbing his pokeball.
"Not now, we got bad guys to catch" Mabel said adjusting her glasses.
"Mabel you go on ahead, I'll battle him" Whitney said deciding to let least one of them find out who has the dragon skull.
"Ok, be careful" Mabel said running off, glaring at N as she went.
"Well let's see how well are you are now Whitney" he said calling out his Pidove.
"Samu let's go!" she summoned her Oshawott.
"My…" It's determined more than ever to bring his trainer victory.
"Samu Water gun!" Samu shoots out a strong jet of water at the Pidove.
"Use quick attack." The bird pokemon used quick attack to dodge the water gun attack and swooped in for an attack.
"Aqua jet" the pokemon's body became surrounded in water before shooting into the air and jetting forward towards the bird pokemon and they collide knocking ht bird pokemon to the ground and Samu fell on his feet ready to continue.
"Pidove use Aerial Ace" the pokemon flew up and dived low surrounding itself in white streaks.
"Use Razor shell!" Samu uses it's scalchop on its stomach and an energy formed into a blade and ran towards the pokemon and jumped and sliced his opponent just as when Pidove lands its hit and they both land and they remained still until Pidove collapsed, no longer able to battle.
"Nice work" N said recalling his pokemon.
"Thanks, my Oshawott has gotten stronger since the last battle" she said proudly as her oshawott ran to her hugging her leg and she bent down to pick it up. "I'm proud of you, return" she said returning him she looked to N and notice he had a light smile on his face.
"Alright Tympole" N summoned his next pokemon.
Whitney knew that Blitzle would be a good choice but knew it was still battered pretty good from being confused in the gym. "Lillipup I choose you, work up let's go"
Lillipup barked as it was summoned ready to battle and his body glowed red.
"Bubble beam" bubbles shot out.
"Use tackle" and Lillipup runs towards the water pokemon however as it was charging it became surrounded in a golden like aurora and it slammed into the water pokemon hard. "Take down…good job Lillipup" Whitney praised figuring all the battling till now made it gain a new move. The dog like pokemon barked happily.
"Round" Tympole opens its mouth and sends out this sound wave wthat they would see in ablue ring and as it passes over them it makes Lillipup wince as the sound was too hard to bare and Lilly covered her ears too.
"Bubble again!" another blast of bubbles shot towards the distracted Lillipup and whimpers as its hit.
"Tackle again" she said and the pokemon tackles the pokemon this time making it faint.
"Hmm…" he returns his pokemon.
"Good job, return" she calls back her Lillipup and calls out her Pidove. Just when N was about to summon his last pokemon when sound waves came from the trees making both of them cover their ears, a group of Venipede appeared and all shot a poison sting attack catching them by surprise.
Back at a small clearing a group of Team Plasma members were there and the skull could be seen. "Give us back the skull" Lenora said grabbing a pokeball.
"Just make me!" one of them said.
"Make us" the other two said approaching them.
"Then we battle. Lillipup I choose you!"
"Emolga!" the pokemon swooped off his trainer's shoulder.
"Tepi I choose you!"
"Woobat! Use air cutter"
"Sandile! Use bite"
"Purrloin! Use scratch"
"Emolga use Thunder bolt on woobat" Emolga shocks Woobat before it uses it's attack.
"Tepig flame charge!" Tepig stomps and surrounds itself in flames before colliding into Sandile who in turn bit at Tepi's tail. The fire pokemon struggled and ran in a circle trying to get it off when it got off Tepig looked angry.
"Tepi use ember" but when Tepig used ember a flamethrower came out and landed an attack on Sandile who was burnt from the attack and fainted.
"Take Down" Lillipup ran full force into purrloin knocking it back and it in turn used fury swipes.
"Electro ball" Emolga formed an electric ball at its tail and launched it at Woobat just as it used air cutter making the moves collide.
The trainers and the gym leader fought hard and soon the plasma grunts lost.
"Fine take the stupid skull" they said tossing the dragon skull which Lenora caught with ease and ran off.
"Phew my pokemon has gotten a work out. Good job Lillipup, return" she said calling her pokemon back just then Mabel came running through the trees.
"I heard noises and I followed it here, is everyone alright?" she asked.
"Yes we are" Lenora said. "And we got the skull back" she added.
"Good it can go back where it belongs now" Mabel said happily.
"Where's Whitney?" Blake asked after returning his pokemon.
"Ah…some weird guy she called N came demanding she battle him and told me to go ahead" she said.
"N? that weird guy from before, we need to see if she's ok since we got the skull back" Blake said.
"Ok I remember where I left them" she said turning around and heading back to the last place she saw them.
"Why are they chasing us?" Whitney said as the two ran through Pinwheel forest.
"Because all the noise and movement from the battling has frightened them and they are angry with us" N answered hearing the screaming emotions of the Venipede.
Some shot another round of poisonsting angering Pidove who launched an powerful gust attack sending some flying away.
"Watch out Pidove don't get hit by poison sting" Whitney warned and the pokemon flew high and launched an air cutter sending the rest of them away.
"Impressive" N said and suddenly Pidove started glowing brightly before their eyes.
Suddenly the white form of the bird pokemon began to grow and when the light stopped Pidove had evolved into a Tranquill.
"Wow a Tranquill" she said pointing her pokedex at her pokemon and in a robotic voice it began to talk.
Tranquill, the Wild Pigeon Pokémon. Many people believe that deep in the forest where it lives there is a peaceful place where it's no wars or conflicts. Forming a strong bond, it can always return to its trainer's location regardless of distance.
"Woah…I got a Tranquill" she said and the pokemon in question perched on its shoulder cooing softly.
"You really have a good relationship with your pokemon" N said.
"Yes I do" she said and looked around unsure of where she was. "I think we got lost N" she said.
"Hmm I guess they were serious when staying stay on the straight path" N said looking around he had no clue where he was either.
"I say we find a way out of this forest" Whitney said and looked to her Tranquill "Tranquill see if you can see a path that leads to the city from above" she instructed and the pokemon took off into the air.
The bird swooped down and shook its head.
"He said that the trees are blocking any path that might exist" N comments.
"That's some gift you have by the way" she said to him remembering he could 'hear' pokemon.
"When you are around pokemon as much as I have…" N said looking into the sky and turned to Whitney. "Well come on" he said walking into the woods.
"Where?" Whitney asked.
"To this special tree I hear pokemon talking about" he said.
"Special tree?" Whitney asked as she walked.
"It's a big tree where many pokemon go…but I think up ahead is a lake" he said and sure enough it was a crystal clear lake where some pokemon was gathered.
"Tympole, come out" he said releasing his pokemon and then held the pokeball out. "I release you" he said and the pokemon glowed blue, it was a free pokemon. "Thanks for your partnership" he added gently and the pokemon jumped in the lake, splashing happy with some other tympole.
"N…why you let your Tympole go? Wasn't it your pokemon?" Whitney asked.
"I'm not like you. I don't hold them and make them fight, all the pokemon I keep come willingly. I ask for their help and when the job is done I let them go like I promise them." He said to her and put his pokeball away.
"I didn't think you believe that strongly in the free pokemon stuff…you know…life wouldn't be the same with pokemon by my side…I love my Oshawott, Trainquill, Lillipup and Blitzle very much…." She said not able to imagine ever releasing her pokemon.
N looked at the pondering trainer for a moment 'I can tell your pokemon care for you.'
"Well let's get going then" he said and the two leave the lake. After what felt like hours looking they found the big tree and indeed many pokemon were nearby deerling scampering through, Pidove resting in trees the atmosphere was really calming.
Suddenly a little green pokemon appeared and smiled as a little group swarmed around them. Whitney points her pokedex at it.
Petilil, the Bulb Pokémon. The areas there they live are known to be great for growing plants because of their love for moist nutritious soil. The leaves on their head is bitter but are known to refresh a tired body.
"Aww you are so cute" Whitney said smiling down at the friendly pokemon and its face turned pink and N chuckled.
"Bashful indeed, she liked your compliment" N said and she smiled.
Suddenly Whitney's stomach growled and she flushed with embarrassment and N soon followed and he chuckled.
"Guess all the running made us hungry…I see berries and fruit in nearby trees, I say we take a break. Your other pokemon must be worn out from fighting Team Plasma, I suggest they all come out" he said.
Whitney eyed him for a moment.
"What's with that face, your blue eyes hold such distrust. It's not like I want to take your pokemon, you are entitled to your own opinion." He said to her.
"Ok…everyone come out, it's break time" she called and tossed out her three remaining pokeballs and her curious Oshawott came out, followed by a battle ready Lillipup and finally a cautious Blitzle.
"I know you guys have worked very hard and must be tired let's enjoy this for a little bit ok
Petilil's leaves glowed and sparkled and this glittery wave came at the group of pokemon. Whitney braced herself unsure what attack this way but it was a lovely scent and she felt a little less tired than before and looked to see her pokemon relaxed and N had his eyes closed as well.
"That was aromatherapy…the scent calms people and pokemon and ease ailments of whoever inhales it. She could tell how worn out we were" N explained and Petilil flushed and spun around a little happy to help out.
"Thanks so much!" Samu said greeting the pokemon. "I'm Samu the Oshawott" he added.
"Nice to meet you, welcome to the forest." She said.
Watching the pokemon chatter happily made Whitney happy. She felt something smooth touch her cheek, turning around N held an apple in his hand. "Here" he said and she accepted it happily. The two sat down together as the pokemon played with each other.
Suddenly her Xtranseiver went off hitting the button the picture showed Blake with a concerned face.
"Winney are you ok? Where are you? We can't find you anywhere?" he asked.
"I'm ok, I'm with N at the moment. After our battled a group of wild Venipede chased us…so we ended up deeper in the forest" Whitney explained.
"Don't worry about your friend. It's getting late so we will stay put and make our way out tomorrow" N said leaning close to look into the Xtranseiver.
"N you better not try and take Whitney's pokemon either" Blake exclaimed.
"So this is the weirdo you mentioned" Draco said leaning in as well makign N cough lightly.
"Alright cool it guys. Did you get the skull?" Whitney asked.
"Yes, operation success!" Mabel said in the background.
"That's good. Well I see it actually is getting dark…so I'll talk to you guys tomorrow if I still can't figure a way out" Whitney said and bid farewell to her friend.
Tranquil swooped down and pointed up with its wing.
"The sunset…he wants you to see it" N said.
"Alright, Samu, Lillipup, hop on. Let's watch the sun set" she said and her two pokemon jumped on her shoulder as Tranquil flew to the top.
N and Petilil made it with little issues but Whitney never climbed a tree and found it difficult.
"I got you" N grabbed her hand before pulling her up onto the thick branch next to him Petilil on a branch nearby and happily watched the sun set with Tranquil.
The sky was painted a fiery orange, the sun casting a golden glow, the sky looked like a giant flame as the sun was sinking lower and lower.
"This is nice…I have to admit…if I had to get lost in a forest I'm glad it's with you" she said shocking the young man but didn't meet her gaze.
"Why? I tried battling you today as well as the fact that I agree with the idea of trainers letting their pokemon go. Or is it because I am able to translate what these pokemon are staying?" he asked not understanding.
"Hmm…I'm sure you have your own reason" Whitney said.
N turned to face her, the light making her eyes look bluer than ever. "I've been around pokemon who've been abused and abandoned by their trainers and I'm tired of it. Pokémon are being treated as tools more than being treated as a companion and friend" N said showing his irritation.
Whitney looked away to the dark sky, the first star shining in the sky. "I understand…you see my Blitzle was an abandoned pokemon…I met him at the daycare in route 3. He trusted no one…not even the caretakers…I could only guess at how hurt he felt…and I knew he needed a trainer to love and care for him" Whitney explained scratching Lilipup's ear with one hair and hugging her oshawott close with her other arm.
"Its trainers like that that makes me see why Team Plasma and even you want humans and pokemon to be separate so pokemon can live in peace" she said.
"You seem to understand me enough" he said. "You aren't so bad" he said looking at the trainer who smiled.
"There are a lot of trainers like me, who love pokemon and treat them like friends and not tools" she said looking into the night sky.
N turned to Whitney when he heard a muffled yawn and after glancing at the full moon, determining it was well into the night already. "Come on, let's get some sleep" he said and started heading down the tree with Whitney following him. Tranquill flew down with a sleeping Lillipup and Samu.
Blitzle looked up when his trainer came down and nudged her side making her smile. "Sorry I didn't realize it was that long since I went up there" she said petting him gently.
N looked at the Blitzle for a long time "Tell me Blitzle, are you happy?" he asked remembering what she told him about this Blitzle.
The pokemon looked at N for a moment and N then closed his eyes with a soft smile. He turned to Whitney "I see now…" N said though now he looked to be deep in thought.
"See" Whitney said as she unwrapped her sleeping bag. "Well goodnight N. Goodnight everyone"
"Goodnight" they all said together.
Samu walked and snuggled close to her followed by Lillipup and Blitzle slept nearby, lastly Tranquill perched on a low branch and was ready to sleep.
N leaned against the tree and closed his eyes, going to sleep thinking about all the nice things her pokemon had to say about her and thinking that maybe she wasn't so bad after all.
In the morning Whitney looked to see N still asleep and thought it was the cutest thing ever, especially with Pidove nearby and Petilil and another worm like pokemon.
Sewaddle, the Sewing Pokémon. This pokemon makes clothes for itself by chewing up leaves and sewing it together using the sticky thread.
"It's so cute" Whitney said and this made N open his eyes and rubbing his grey eyes.
"What's cute now?" he asked.
"The Sewaddle that's on you head" she said and he picked up the now awakened pokemon.
"Oh hello, I didn't know you were up there" N said gently and leaned his forehead to the two little knobs on top of the pokemon's head and the pokemon happily tapped it's head on N's forehead.
"This is how Sewaddle greet each other" he states.
"Ah, hello Sewaddle" Whitney said leaning her forehead down to it as well.
"Hello" the pokemon touched it's knobs to her forehead as well.
"It's so cute" she said petting it which it happily accepts.
"Trainer" Samu had held up an apple to both N and Whitney as the pokemon had already start collecting food.
"Thanks Samu" Whitney said happily accepting the food and ate their breakfast.
"Okay everyone return" Whitney said calling back her Blitzle, Samu, and Tranquill, but when she tried calling back Lillipup he jumped to avoid the red beam and barked up at her.
"He wants to stay out and enjoy the woods" N said.
"Ah, ok come up" she said holding her hand down and the pokemon jumped into her arms.
The same Petilil had approached them again tilting her head to the side in question.
"Ah, we are trying to find our way out the forest and back to the city. Do you happen to know where the way would be?" Whitney answered.
"How did you know she wanted to know where we were going?" N asked.
"Well…she looked confused so I assumed she was trying to ask us a question" Whitney said thinking it made since which it did.
"Now that you mention it…we could have just asked a pokemon…surly they know how to get around in the forest" N said realizing this fact. "So do you know the way out this forest?" he asked.
"Of course! Follow me" Petilil jumped up and down and proceeded to move down the path.
"I take it she knows where to go" Whitney said following the pokemon with N.
"Yay I'll be back out soon, I hope Blake won his gym battle" Whitney said after awhile glancing at her Xtranseiver.
"Blake? Is he special?" he asked after a moment not really appreciating being called a weirdo.
"He's silly and perhaps doesn't always do the smart thing but he's a close friend of mine that's for sure. I think his specialty is bringing inspiration to those who watch him battle and just make anyone excited" Whitney said thinking about her friend. "I think his encouragement keeps me going too" she said with a laugh.
"More like overexcited and too loud" N said.
"It can be I suppose…you should travel with us. You would know for sure there are good trainers out there" she said after awhile determining he needed to be around other people who liked pokemon as much as he seemed to be.
N just chuckled "I don't know, I like traveling this way. Besides I'm not the one for large crowds like your group" he said.
Soon they got to the famliar path they were at yesterday before splitting up. "Thanks Petilil, you are amazing" Whitney said and the pokemon turned pink.
"This is where we part ways…perhaps you can travel with me sometime…Winney" he said calling her by the name he heard Blake call her and her pink face amused him and headed down the path which would eventually lead him to Castelia City.
"Whitney!" at the sound of Blake's voice she turned to see him and Draco running down the path as well as Mabel.
"You made it out!" Mabel said.
"Yep, thanks to this Petilil I met yesterday" she said and the pokemon shyly hid behind Whitney's legs but peaking out slightly.
"She's so cute" Mabel said.
"She's so shy though" Whitney said. "So do you have your Basic badge yet?" she asked Blake.
"No way I'm thinking about a gym battle till I made sure my friend was out of that forest…though that reminds me where's N?" Blake asked looking around.
"He left to Castelia City…" she said pointing down the obvious path made by people.
"Well let's get going so I can get my own badge" Blake said excitedly.
Whitney turned to the pokemon "Thanks again for guiding me out of here. You take care ok" she said walking out the forest and back into the city.
Draco looked back and saw the Petilil still following them. "I think Petilil took a liking to you" Draco said making everyone stop.
"Is that true? You want to come with me?" she asked and to her delight the little pokemon nods her head.
Whitney takes out a pokeball and tosses it, the pokeball bounces off the grass pokemon before entering the ball where it was instantly captured.
"Wow another capture!" Blake said.
"That makes another free pokemon, you are likable" Draco said laughing a little.
"I guess so" She said picking up the pokeball.
"That's amazing, I hope to make friends with pokemon like you." Mabel said as they entered the city again and back to the museum.
Well then another chapter is complete at last. Next chapter is Blake's turn and its evolution time for someone. Stay tuned.
