Chapter 7: Welcome to Striathon City!
After their run-in with the mysterious N, Team Plasma, and Team Rocket, Black and White continued on their journey across the Unova region, drawing close to the rustic Striathon City.
"Here it is, Striathon City." White said as she took in the fresh air and the sights of the area. "The home of the Dreamyard, the Trainer's School..."
"And the Striathon Trio Gym Leaders!" Black exclaimed excitedly, before he ran out ahead and bumped into a green-haired stranger in a chef's outfit.
"Oh, pardon me sir." the stranger greeted sheepishly to Black as the Trainer stumbled onto the ground.
"Hey," Black realized. "Aren't you-?"
"My name is Cilan, one of the Striathon City Trio. Now, I hope you don't mind if I check what your starter Pokémon is." Cilan introduced himself as he closely observed Black's Tepig. "Ah, I see. You and your Tepig look very compatible. Now, we need to make some preparations, but while you wait, you are free to go visit the Trainer's School and Battle Club."
"Thanks." White answered on the behalf of the stunned Trainer Black, as she pushed him aside into the Battle Club so that Black could still get some battles in.
"Well, here you go, Black. You still get to have a chance to do a Trainer battle, and I need to be here because my company's next gig takes place here." White explained as she borrowed Tep's Pokeball and a large brown-haired man entered the room, carrying a clipboard with him. "Mr. George?"
The man laughed before responding to White and kissing her hand in recognition. "Mr. George is my father. You can call me Don; it's a pleasure to meet you at last, miss White."
"Thank you, now I believe we have our filming plans to discuss?" White asked.
"Of course, if you'd please follow me. And your friend can go down to the battlefield to partake in a match, if he wants." Don George told White.
"Thanks!" Black replied. "I'll see you later, boss." The boy then continued out into the building and found the battlefield for the Battle Club, where two Trainers were competing against each other; one of them using a Servine, and the other battled with a Dewott.
"Use Vine Whip, Servine! You've got it on the ropes." the Servine's Trainer called out as the snake Pokémon continued fighting by blasting out long tendrils of vines around the Dewott, which only sliced through them with its scalchops.
"Take-down, now!" the Dewott's Trainer ordered as the Pokémon ran ahead to the Servine and slammed into the opponent, knocking it back into the wall, and KOed the Pokemon.
"Servine is unable to battle. Dewott and his Trainer have won the match!" the referee announced as the Servine's Trainer called the Pokémon back into its Pokeball and hurried out to the Pokémon Center without another word.
"Jeez, what a bully." Black thought as he saw the Dewott's Trainer taunting the Servine's owner as he ran out of the Battle Club tearfully. "Somebody ought to give him a taste of his own medicine."
Another chapter down the pipeline. Remember to review, and the next update will be coming as soon as I am able to find time to do so.
