Alright! Another chapter completed! Enjoy!

*Brendan's POV*

She stood in front of my ear, chewing me out on how I disobeyed her. "What on earth did you think you were doing?! Do you realize what you've done?!"

I tried to pull out of her grasp, but her arms were probably stronger than any pokemon.

"-so now I have to babysit you everywhere we go now?! Arceus, what is wrong with you?!"

Letting go of my ear, she capitalized the punishment with a shove into the bushes.

Dusting myself off and rubbing my swollen ear, I called back Tyranitar, and looked in the direction in which the two men had gone. Dawn sensed my concern, and asked, "Who were those guys?"

Brendan explained everything, and Dawn's eyes lit up in worry hearing the words "Team Chaos".

"Team Chaos…Could they be like Team Galactic?"

Brendan stared at her with interest, "Team Galactic?" She nodded in nervousness, then went on to explain, "Team Galactic are full of insane people who think that this world is full of spiritual "flaws" and tried to destroy it." Brendan chuckled, "Wow, brutal."

"Have you dealt with anything like that?"

He scratched his chin, then replied, "Sorta. There's these two groups called Team Magma and Team Aqua. They wanted to take over the earth by somehow getting rid of all the water, or all the land."

She giggled, amused at the thought. "Obviously, they forgot to take their science class." Brendan laughed, "Yeah, that's true. But they actually almost succeeded."

Her eye widened and she eagerly asked, "How?" as they started to walk toward the pokemon center. Brendan shrugged and calmly said, "Well, there were these two pokemon Groudon and Kyogre, and Team Magma wanted to control Groudon in hopes of creating all land, while Team Aqua wanted Kyogre for all sea. However, they couldn't control the beasts, and the two started to clash."

She stared at him in disbelief. "So what caused them not wreck the world?"

He continued, "I had to clean up their messes. There's a pokemon that lives in a tower not too far away from the battle, and I had to fly over there and awake the pokemon to stop the fighting. The pokemon didn't really trust me at first. It had a big ego, but after a lot of convincing, it decided to help."

"Everything turned out alright?"

"…better than that…"


*Flashback*

I arrived just in time. Coming up from the surface of the depths, I saw Groudon and Kyogre still fighting. The Ground type unleashed a Solarbeam, but Kyogre dived just in time to evade the attack. Just then, a massive roar was heard from the clouds above, and a Hyper Beam shot out of the sky between the two legendaries.

Rayquaza darted out of the sky, and stopped between the two, roaring, as if giving commands to Groudon and Kyogre. They seemed to stare up the dragon, as if in awe. All the people were. Kyogre obeyed immediately, diving back into the depths of the sea, while Groudon, trudged back into the ground.

When the two had left, I surfed to the land, where Archie, Maxie, Wallace, and Steven stood.

The villians stared at the water, mesmerized at what they saw. Maxie spoke first, "So the super-ancient Pokémon weren't only Groudon and Kyogre... After all our frantic scheming and fruitless efforts, that one Pokémon's simple action puts everything right again as if nothing had happened... Fu... Fuhahaha..."

His rival spoke after, ""Kyogre and Groudon both flew off to who knows where. The weather in Hoenn has returned to its normal state... Haha... Hahaha... Maybe what we were trying to do was something small, even meaningless, to Pokémon..."

Wallace stepped up, admonishing them. "As you can see, your actions not only caused chaos not just to humans, but to the whole world as well. Next time, you should consider putting others first?"

I muttered to myself, "Or just go to science class…cough…"

They looked at the champion, then nodded.

Wallace turned to me, pleased. "Amazing. Without you, this would have been impossible. You've just saved the world, Brendan."

I shook my head, correcting him, "I didn't just save the world", as Rayquaza, wanting to say goodbye, flew down to us. I walked over to him and patted him on the head, a grin spread across my face.

"I made a new friend as well."

*Flashback End*


"So you became friends with a legendary pokemon and saved the world?" Dawn eyes bored into him as they approached the pokemon center.

"Yeah, but I haven't seen him since. After becoming the champion, I came back to the tower to say hi, but he wasn't there."

"But isn't that his resting place?"

Brendan shrugged. "I heard that Rayquaza flies around in the ozone layer, so maybe he wanted to go somewhere else for a change."

"Here are your pokemon. We hope to see you again!" Nurse Joy waved them goodbye, as Chansey happily bounced behind her. The two trainers waved back and left. Brendan looked behind him with curiosity. "How is it that everywhere we go all the Nurse Joy look exactly the same?"

Dawn giggled, obviously aware of what he said, "No idea." Pulling out her map once again, she pointed to a spot. "Ok, so we are currently at Route 703, which is basically a mountainous pathway into Vallen Town." She sighed quietly as they soon saw a range of mountains ahead of them. "It's going to get pretty cold up there". Brendan frantically searched his bag. "SHOOT, I didn't bring anything!"

Dawn raised an eyebrow, "How can you forget? I mean, you did pack, right?" Brendan laughed sheepishly, stammered, "Y-yeah, but the Hoenn region doesn't exactly have any mountains that are this cold". He rubbed his shoulders for warmth, then steeled himself. "Let's go."

This amused Dawn, and she chortled, "Ok, hotshot, carry on".

Trudging onto the path that seemed to get colder and colder with every step closer, soon, the snowy tops of the lofty mountains became quite visible.


*Brendan's POV*

The path along the mountainside was much more treacherous that I thought. Each path spiraled around different mountains. Possible avalanches, rockslides, and blizzards were constantly on my mind. And don't even mention the fact that looking down scared the living daylights out of me. If I had a choice, I would have called out Salamence to fly us there, but she hated icy places. Honestly, I don't even know how Sceptile was taking it. He was just following us, not making a noise. We had already circled two mountains, and were currently halfway through the third when I saw the city up ahead, probably to mountains away. My lips were literally frozen solid, but my teeth with chattering nonstop like a machine. Tapping her shoulder, I pointed the direction of the town. The sun was setting fast, and we were both tired from walking so much already.

Her response was muffled, since she had her scarf up in her face. "Ok. I think that we can get up tomorrow morning and make it." She gestured to a cave ahead. "There's a cave. Hopefully, it's big enough for us."

Calling upon Sceptile, he took both of us up slowly into the cave. It was easy, as the snow consistently biting his skin, but soon enough, we got there.

Dawn grinded her hands together to make warmth, then tugged her scarf down. "Phew. Harder than I expected."

I unfroze my mouth and wiped off the cold water. "Harder than you expected? You were taking the snow like a tank". She smiled in happiness, as if reminiscing a time in her life. "Let's just say I've done this kind of thing before."

Out of the blue, an enormous grunt was heard inside the darkness of the cave. We both turned our heads, anxious to see what was in the shadows. Two glaring eyes popped out with two massive tusks. Dawn squealed for a moment, and I shifted unconsciously over to her. Soon enough, the creature revealed itself, a four-legged furry mammoth with a short snout. Around it were four smaller creatures, each furry with their eyes seemingly closed, and legs not visible. I knew the smaller pokemon, but the big one was a mystery to me.

"Swinub…and they're surrounding the Mamoswine…so it's their parent. Maybe it thought we were intruders."

I narrowed my eyes, ready to defend myself, and reached for a poke ball. Dawn, on the other hand, held my wrist. "Let me handle this. I got a Mamoswine, and maybe I can calm her down." She slowly drew near the parent pokemon, talking in a soothing voice. "L-look, Mamoswine, w-we don't want any trouble and-".

The pokemon probably took her words in the wrong way, and gave a loud grunt, startling Dawn, then attacked with Blizzard, senting a frozen storm at us. The storm took Dawn first, and she turned into a massive ice block, her body paused in action. Before I could do anything, Sceptile jumped in front of me, and the ice consumed him too. The attack resided, and I immediately stepped aside, furious.

"Hey, you didn't have to do that! We just wanted a place to stay! Go, Aggron!" A bipedal armored gray and black pokemon stomped onto the field, giving a roar that frightened the small Swinub. The wild Mamoswine sent another Blizzard toward us, but Aggron responded with a Flamethrower, which consumed and hit the pokemon. The mammoth pokemon staggered back and cringed, but stood strong. It charged this time, using time.

"Aggron, Iron Defense!"

Aggron, using his superior defense, hardened itself. His armor flashed, and he pushed back, sending Mamoswine backward into a wall.

"Go! Iron Head!" Aggron rocketed to the pokemon, impaling his armored and spiked head at Mamoswine, brutally injuring the ice type pokemon.

Seeing their parent getting hurt, the Swinub started to weep, much to my annoyance. I walked over to the injured Mamoswine and tended its wounds. As I sprayed a potion onto the pokemon, I looked over at Aggron, telling it to thaw out Dawn and Sceptile.

Sceptile woke up easily thanks a Full Heal, given that he was a pokemon, but Dawn was taking a while to come to.

Her limp body, still moist with the cold water, lay horizontally on my lap. Her breathing was evident, and her body shook every so often, showing signs of life. The pokemon had went back into the darkness of the cave, and I made a fire with matches, providing some much need warmth. I gazed out the opening of the cave, observing our next destination. There was a tall building, residing on top of the mountain, with much smaller structures under.

I felt movement in my lap, then looked down as her eyes started to open. We stared at each other, her eyes filled with surprise, mine full with amusement. Winking, I teased her, "Morning, sunshine". She snapped out of her trance, and started to girl-slap me, whining, "Oh my god, what is wrong with you?! Why am I on your lap?!"

She glanced around, noticing the absence of the pokemon. "They went away?"

"Yeah, Aggron had to do some enforcing."

Her head turned to a massive dent into the wall, where Mamoswine had landed. She sweatdropped, "Y-yeah, I can see." Pushing herself up, she sat up next to Sceptile, who was resting next to the fire and placed its head on her lap, stroking its head.

"You're quite the pokemon comforter, aren't you?"

Dawn shrugged, shivering slightly from the cold. "Yeah, but it was my mistake that I had to confront the Mamoswine. I shouldn't have taken that first step. That really scared them".

I shook my head, "It's not your fault. Without you, I don't know where the heck I would be right now. And…" I scratched my head hesistantly, not wanting this to sound awkward, "…it's nice to have a real human with me once a while."

I couldn't see her face, as she turned her face away. I sighed, mentally congratulating my mouth on making this situation even more awkward that I had wanted. I laid down, exhausted from the day's events, resting with Sceptile. It wasn't long before sleep took over all of us, and we rested for the night, ready for another day.

Hi guys, thanks for reading up until now! Really happy that you guys are staying with me! So here's some updating on what I've got stored in my mind in the future. There will be a third person who will join Brendan and Dawn, but I haven't decided. For those who want to make suggestions, sorry, I will not be taking any. This person will not be a made-up character and will not interfere with Brendan and Dawn's relationship. So that's all I have for now. Please tell me your thoughts on this and the story in the reviews!
