Hello, and welcome to the next chapter of Filling in For a Father!

Today there's going to to be another OC! So we can just skip some boring disclaimer...right? Fine, I don't own anything but my character, Nintendo owns the Pokémon and everyone else owns the rest of it.

Now go on and read to your hearts content!

"That was very weird," Mystery said and she was right, we lost our Pokéballs and when we found them we ran into some people who call themselves 'Team Rocket',

"Yeah, let's not go back there again," I said, "Ever."

But at least we're out of there, and on our way to the next city. Which reminds reminds me,

"Who's the next Gym Leader?" I asked.

Mystery thought for a moment, "The next Gym Leader is Misty, she uses water types,"

"So another easy one?" I asked, she nodded, "When are the real challenges going to start?"

"What about those Beedrill?" Mystery said with a smirk.

"Well, that's true,"

So we went made it the Cerulean City after a few Pokémon battles and headed to the Pokémon Center. There were a lot of trainers there, I battled a few outside of the building.

"Let's get going to the Gym!" I said excited for my second Gym Badge,

The Gym seems pretty normal, a few trainers, a shy girl I tried to say hi to but walked away, a Gym Leader(Misty) and water. Wait, what?

"It's so Misty's Pokémon don't suffocate," Mystery said, I guess she noticed that I was confused.

Well, I guess there could be a few battle strategies with this, like pidgey could just fly above the water if I use him.

"Hey, kid," I hear a female voice say. I get sucked out of my thoughts and see that it was Misty the Gym Leader, "If you're here to get a badge, then you have to battle the qualifying trainers,"

She ment the trainers in the Gym. I nodded towards her and battled the first "qualifying trainer".

They were all pretty easy, now it's time to face the Gym Lead-something interrupted my thoughts. Turns out it was a missle, don't worry, no one was hurt(much, Misty was out cold).

"Prepare for trouble!"

"And make it double!"

"To inflict plenty of devasation!"

"To make the world fear our nation!"

"To praise the evils of all things wrong!"

"To extend our reach to all above!"

"Alice!"

"Arthur!"

Like they said, it's Alice and Arthur, from Team Rocket. Well, we handled them once, most likely able to handle them again.

"Bulbasaur, go!" I sent out Bulbasaur(of course) and Alice and Arthur remained very calm.

"Go, Starlight!" Mystery said, sending out her Espeon.

We told them to attack Alic and Arthur(who are still completely calm) and a second before getting hit, they got out a giant net gun and shot it at our Pokémon!

"Hahaha, you really thought you could attack us with your Pokémon?" Alice said.

"Now, because of your foolishness, we have knew Pokémon to take to The Boss. And maybe grab a sandwich while we're at it." Arthur said, weirldy.

"Arthur," Alice said and slapped him on the back of the head, "Shut up!"

They were about to leave there mess when the shy girl from before came up from behind them.

"Hey, you!" She said, "Give them back their Pokémon!"

The members of Team Rocket looked at eachother and blinked, then laughed.

"What are you going to do about, brat?" Arthur asked.

She glared at them and got a Pokéball out, "Go, Crystal!"

A Milotic by the name of "Crystal" I guess was sent out.

Alice and Arthur sent out both of their Pokémon.

The girl just said to her Milotic, "Crystal, use Hydro Pump!" And sent them flying.

"Wow," I let out of my mouth.

Misty stirred awake and saw the holes in her Gym and saw all of us just fine, so I guess she thought it was us.

"You three!" Misty yelled at us very angrily, "Did you do this?"

We all froze when we heard her and glanced at eachother, trying to think of something. I looked at Milotic and took out my Pokédex to see its entry.

"What are you doing?" Mystery asked, glaring, most likely to get me to stop.

"Hang on," I said as the entry came up.

"Milotic, the Tender Pokémon. Milotic is breathtakingly beautiful. Those that see it are said to forget their combative spirit," Was the Pokédex entry.

That'll work.

"Hey, um, what's your name?" I asked.

She looked at me and said, "Erilia,"

"Erilia, can you tell your Milotic to calm Misty down?" I said showing the Pokédex entry. She nodded after a few second and asked for Milotic's help. After Milotic did what it needed to do Misty was okay.

We walked up to Misty and explained everything, she understood now and sat down in a chair. I almost forgot the reason we came was because of a Gym Battle.

"Misty?" I said walking up to her, "The whole reason we came here is because I wanted a Gym Battle, so can we?"

She looked at me and said, "Yeah, but we're going to need to do it outside,"

"Okay!" I said, filling with excitement.

"But," Misty said, "Let's do it tomorrow, it's getting late,"

I nodded my head and walked back to Mystery, telling her everything. She was happy for me and agreed on it being tommorow.

So we left the Gym and went to the Pokémon Center, where we stayed for the night.

But I still can't help but wonder if we'll see Erilia again, but who knows what the future has in store.

And that's the end of the chapter! The Gym Battle will be on the next chapter. And I'm sorry this is out late, I ran into some problems(nothing major, of course because it's over now).

Anyway, I'll try to update 'A Pokétuber Adventure' this week. See you all soon!
