Malory79080: It's how I see N if he liked a person, because he doesn't know how to approach a person directly with something he wants to give them he would do it all secretly without it being a secret (Kudos if you understood that) Malory, you are also my like my #1 reader (that I know of) because you always comment which lets me know that I do still have people that read it and that gives me the sense of going on when I feel down

Azure Blue Espeon: Did you even read Chapter five? Cause you know, in chapter 5 Touko was on her way to Nacrene when the whole Cheren X N fight broke out and in the special they were in Nacrene, I even stated it.

Sorry guys, because of N's last appearance he won't be here. Just wait until Nimbasa, or if I decide to throw him in earlier *evil giggle*
And there might be a chapter that falls completely out of the normal basic get all eight badges and kick some butt! There will be a superb performance with a quite rare Pokémon

And remember, I let the Pokémon keep moves like in the anime, no "Only four" moves
Okay, its dang 11pm and I'm tired, so if this chapter is crappy I blame all you for sleep loss.


Chapter 6:
Lenora, a Gym Leader with Backbone
And
Chase Down Team Plasma! You Can Do It Touko!


Touko sat in the Pokécentre room with Touya, she told him about what Cheren had tried to do, Touya was fuming and had insisted that they stay in the same room for the night after eating. He promised that if Cheren did anything again he would murder him. As Touya was still ranting to himself Touko decided to shower, getting dressed in her Pikachu colour based PJ's. Her Zorua, the Christmas gift from N followed her almost anywhere. She decided to call the Pokémon Shikari, as it was a name stuck in her head. Shikari was naughty, having stolen and hidden her brother's socks multiple times this night. After staying up awhile longer, Touko finally fell asleep with Shikari curled up in her arms and Rei in her hair.

Touko slowly walked around Nacrene, taking in some of the sights. The town was beautiful in its own way. "Well, time to challenge the gym." She said, making her way to the big museum like building. She was confused when she walked inside, the place was as a matter of fact a museum. "Ummmm… Are we even in the right place?" She asked herself, walking around. She noticed stairs leading to a higher up part of the museum. Walking up she noticed an archway, going through. Few trainers were hidden around the bookshelves and there was a man standing at the start.

"Welcome to the Gym, here you have to use clues found in different books to find the Gym Leader, Lenora. She uses normal type Pokémon." He said when Touko asked him. "The first clue is in a book titled 'Hello Little Pokémon.'" He said before Touko moved on, searching for the book book she was told to find. After finding it, she followed the other clues, having to battle trainers all the way through to get to each book that held the other clues. Soon she battled the last person, reading the last note, but when she returned the book to the shelf, the shelf moved, revealing a hidden staircase that led underground. She cautiously walked down the stairs, finding a hidden study, and there was Lenora, looking ready to battle.

"So you are my next challenger? Good job following the clues to find me. This will be a two on two battle, now show me the Pokémon you so lovingly raised."

Lenora sent out a Herdier while Touko sent out her Audino. The match between the two Pokémon took quite a while. Both of the Pokémon fought with their complete heart and soul. Violet even managed to dodge Take Down from time to time, but so far, Herdier was winning, and the next attack could decide the fate of the battle.

"Okay Violet, Double Slap!" "Herdier, Take Down." Violets attack missed and she was hit head on by the Herdier, causing her to faint. "Amazing job Violet, thanks!" Touko said, returning her poor Pokémon to its ball to rest. "Only one of my Pokémon left, while she has two left, but her Herdier is close to fainting, so I have to pick wisely between Rei and Shikari." She said to herself, making her choice. She unlatched the Pokéball from her belt, releasing the Pokémon.

"Zo!" Shikari gave a devious smile at Touko.

"Shikari, Faint Attack!" Shikari smiled yet again, turning invisible, the Herdier unable to track it's movement. The fox attacked from the side, knocking the Herdier unconscious. Lenora returned her Pokémon and sent out her Watchog.

"Watch watchdog!" It glared at Shikari, who jumped back to its original place, looking at the Pokémon that was glaring it down. "Watchog, use Hypnotise!" "Shikari, try to avoid it and counter with Fury Swipes." The little fox was able to miss the Watchog's attack and went it, starting to scratch it up.

"Watchog, Retaliate." Lenora commanded and the Pokémon started an all-out attack on Shikari, sending her flying back and hiding the floor. But she got up quickly and shook her head as if shaking off the attack.

"Show them what a tough girl you are Shikari! Faint Attack!" Shikari turned invisible again, aiming to attack from the front.

"Watchog, be on guard!" Just as the Fox attacked the Watchog avoided partially, but was still hit. "Now, Hypnotise!" This time it landed, putting Shikari to sleep. "Retaliate." Watchog attacked again, Shikari unable to defend in away way.

"Come on Shikari! You have to wake up! We can't lose this battle yet!" The little fox's eyes opened at the voice of its trainer, and she seemed ready to end the battle.

"Watchog, Hypnotise!" "Shikari, Faint Attack, use it twice!" Just before the Watchog could put the Zorua back to sleep she made herself invisible and got out of the way, attacking the Watchog from behind before attacking it face to face. That knocked it out.

"Well, Touko, you sure are great with figuring out cunning ways to defeat an opponent. You've earned this, it's the Basic Badge." Touko happily accepted it and shortly after a man wearing what looked like a scientist's jacket ran in.

He was huffing and puffing for air. "Lenora, there are people claiming that they are going to steal the Dragon Skull." He said in one breath, which sent Lenora running out of the room, the man in tow.

"Shikari, let's go see what's causing trouble." The fox nodded, jumping onto Touko's shoulder as she ran back to where Lenora had gone. There stood the cause of the trouble, Team Plasma in the big group they usually were.

"We, Team Plasma, plan to liberate Pokémon and for that, we need the help of a legendary dragon! This was said to be its remains!"

"You've got to be kidding me!" Lenora said.

"Oh, we are not, to show you how serious Team Plasma is, we'll steal the skull right in front of you! Smokescreen!" The other members of plasma dropped some smoke balls, causing everybody to choke and close their eyes. When the smoke cleared the skull was gone.

"They… They really stole it! Touko, we have to stop them!" Lenora ran outside, Touko following. Lenora was scanning around, unsure which way they had gone. "We'll have to split up, I'll go east, you go look in Pinwheel Forest, I'll go there if I cannot find them."

The two were interrupted by a person. "Lenora~" A man wearing very bright clothes walked up to them, him and Lenora chatting. Touko only zoned in on a few bits; His name was Burgh and he was the Castelia City Gym Leader, he usually came to Nacrene when he had artist block. She then filled him in on what team Plasma had done.

"Mhmm, okay, I'll go with Touko then, we'll get the skull back Lenora." And with that the two set off, trying to find plasma.


Ah-hahahaha, you thought I was going to go to the chase? No way, I like leaving you guys hanging!
I have been having trouble writing this, so I'll probably update twice a week, maybe thrice if lucky
