New World

Sven leaned down and petted his little turtle Pokémon. "Nice job, we are doing great so far." He told the Pokémon with a smile.

The Squirtle smiled back at him.

Sven nodded. "Now we are going to try something new." He got down on the ground, and got into meditation position.

The Squirtle gave him a confused look.

Sven smiled at him. "This always helps me whenever I'm stressed or basically anything that involves thinking. So why not with Pokémon training."

"Squirtle!" Sven's Squirtle shouted, it got down and did it's best to get into the position Sven was in. Sven continued to smile warmly at the little Pokémon as it tried to get into the position he was in. Finally after several tries it did it.

"Ok just relax, and clear your mind." Sven told the little Pokemon. With that he closed his eyes, Squirtle did the same. For a couple minutes there was nothing but the sound of the breeze blowing the long grass.

Suddenly there was a loud shout, Both Squirtle and Sven snapped out of there meditation and jumped up.

A little girl ran down the dirt road towards them. "Help someone please help!" She shouted.

"What's going on?" Sven asked, walking up to her.

"My friend and I wanted to see how the construction for the Pokémon League." The little girl told him. "But my friend accidently ran into a Mankey when we were taking a shortcut through the long grass. It started attacking him."

"Alright lead me to him." Sven told her.


Giovanni lead them to his father's office.

Tom looked around the room, trying to find anything that could be useful later on. There were some trophies from Pokémon tournaments, a collage degree, and a paper stating he was a legal Gym leader.

There was one picture of Miss Rocket and her husband, neither seemed too happy to be together.

"Father." Giovanni said simply, his eyes locked on the floor.

"Yes Giovanni." The man asked turning to him. He looked almost exactly like Giovanni just older.

"This Trainer wants to battle you." Giovanni told him.

"I know, I saw you're battle with the other boy…Tom was it. Pity you lost." The man said his eyes locking on Tom.

Giovanni gritted his teeth but didn't say anything.

Sarah walked up to Mr. Rocket. "I challenge you to a battle!" The little girl declared.

Mr. Rocket looked her over for a minute before shrugging. "Fine let's get this over with."


Sven followed the girl over to a large boulder. The Mankey was beating the ground with fist in a war dance. Sven could hear the little kid whimpering on the other side.

Sven turned to the little girl. "Alright go over there ok, I don't want you to get hurt if it decides to charge."

The little girl nodded and headed back.

Sven looked down at Squirtle. "Ready."

"Squrr." He said nodding.

Sven nodded. He brought his fingers up to his mouth and whistled as loud as he could.

The Mankey turned around and glared at him, the monkey fighting Pokémon let out a loud screech, and charged towards them.

"Squirtle use bubble!" Sven instructed.

A beam of bubble shot out of Squirtle mouth, hitting Mankey. The attack slowed it down but it didn't stop it.

Squirtle glanced back at Sven nervously, but Sven just nodded in encouragement.

The Mankey continued to charge.

"Wait for it." Sven encouraged. The Mankey continued to get closer. Still he said nothing, and it got even closer…and closer. "Dodge now!"

Squirtle jumped out of the way. The Mankey attempted to stop, but couldn't, it skidded attempting to slow itself down. But it didn't work. Finally after skidding a few yards it managed to stop. It glared back at the Trainer.

Sven just stood there, completely calm.

Mankey let out a war cry, and charged at Squirtle.

"Squirtle tackle!" Sven told him.

Squirtle lunged at the Mankey; his shell hit the Mankey at full force.

The Mankey wavered for a minute, before collapsing on the ground.

Sven smirked and pulled out his Pokeball, and threw it at the Mankey. The ball rolled around a bit, before a red light appeared on the capture button.

Sven picked up the ball, his usual smile on his face.

The little girl and boy ran up to her. "Thank you so much that was awesome!" The girl told her.

"Ya thanks that Mankey almost beat me to a pulp." The boy told him.

"No problem, just try to be more careful okay."

"Okay." The chimed before running off.

Sven turned to Squirtle. "Great job buddy," He said returning Squirtle to his ball. He glanced up at the sky. It was getting late, he should probably check on Tom and Sarah.
