4/9/15: Hey! So, I had a name in here that Abby mentioned. It was from a book series, but I changed it. So, yep. Just had to say that. Bye!

She nodded, grinning.. "Four gym badges."

I clapped my hands. "Woo-hoo! Good job."

She nodded, tucking the little case back. "Thanks. I worked hard. The next one is Fantina, like I said."

Nodding, I grin. "You still aren't stronger than me, though."

She laughs. "Ha! I bet you'd like to think that."

I fold my arms, smirking. "Three gym badges aren't enough to beat me."

She narrows her eyes, smiling. "Are you asking for a battle?"

"Maybe. Do you want to go over to the battle park across the street? Three on three?" I ask.

"Duh!" She exclaims, grabbing her Pokeballs. "Return!"

A red light beams Umbreon and Solrock back into their little homes, while Lunatone stays out. Then, we walk out to the field. It's a park with benches and paths and stuff, but it has four dirt battle-plots. Two are being used, so we take the one farthest from it.

A man steps up, holding two flags. "Hello! What number are we using?"

"Two," I answer quickly.

He nods. "Two Pokémon battle count! First trainer with all two Pokémon unable to battle will lose. One your marks? Get set? Battle!"

"You're up, Lunatone!" Abbey says, pointing. Her Pokémon floats into his square, ready.

I think for a moment, and then whip out my Pokeball. "Alright, here we go! Piloswine, take the stage!"

Abbey's eyebrows perked up. "He evolved?"

I nodded, my mouth in a grin. "Yep. Cody and Zinnia helped me."

She smiled. "Cool. I'll go first, by the way... Lunatone, use Psychic."

"Piloswine," I shouted. "Dodge it, and then use Ice Shard!"

It was seconds before her Lunatone was tossed onto the ground. I smiled for a moment, then it got up and charged.

"Psychic, again!"

Piloswine was thrown back. "Shake it off! Alright, use mud bomb! Then, Body Slam!"

It worked without a hitch. Her Lunatone spun, flying into the dirt.

The judge raised his flag. "Lunatone is unable to battle! Point goes to Piloswine!"

"Take a good rest," Abbey said, returning him. Then, she was back to business. "Go!"

"Solrock?" I guessed.

She shook her head, and the glowing faded, revealing a massive Electivire.

"Woah," I breathed, looking at the static leaping from it's fur.

"Charge beam, then Thunderbolt!"

It was seconds before my Piloswine couldn't move an inch. "Nice job, Piloswine." I said, returning him as well.

Breathing out, I thought for a moment. "Ambipom, take the stage!"

The blue light faded and my Pokémon grinned, getting ready.

"Electivire, use Discharge!" Abbey said quickly.

"Ambipom," I responded as her Pokemon glowed with energy about to take our my Pokemon. "Dodge it as fast as you can, then use Double Hit and don't stop!"

He followed my command after I had the idea to use Tickle and scratch, Electivire was on the ground.

Ambipom was clearly paralyzed by grit his teeth, showing that he wanted to continue. "Use Crunch!"

He did and being too big to move quickly, Electivire fainted about two seconds before my Pokemon.

"Ambipom wins!" The referee calls, holding a flag on my side as me and Abbey both return our Pokemon.

"Good job. I guess your doing well, but don't worry, that was just a fluke," she says walking over to me as we head away from the park.

I make a face. "You wish!"

"Hey," she says biting her lip. "I have something I want to ask you... It's really important..."

I nod staring at the blue sky as a flock of Starly make their way across it, cawing and flapping their small wings. "What?"

She stopped staring at me. "This is going to be really hard because I know that just got back and everything and you really must want to see everything, and stay for your other friends but... I'm so bored here now.. I can't beat Fantina right now, and everyone has gone on some adventure but me. I already asked Michael, and he agreed. We wanted to know if..."

I nodded, wondering where the conversation was going.

"We want to go to the Unova region."

"Seriously? Abbey, are you serious?"

She nodded solemnly. "Of course."

I thought for a moment. "I'll think about it."

She smiled. "Good."
