Chapter 10 – VS Dwebble

Garnet is fighting another trainer in Route 53, "Alright… Pyrophyte. Use Earth Power on the Ekans." Garnet looks at the opposing Ekans that has been defeated. "Alright… However, Pyrophyte won't be much use in the gym… She's definitely the powerhouse of my team, but I need to train my other Pokémon." Garnet walking around Route 53 for a challenge and finds a wild Dwebble and sends out his Nidoran to face it. "Alright, Nidoran. Leer."

Nidoran goes up towards the wild Dwebble and glares at it while its pupils disappear. The Dwebble raises its pincer and multiple rocks from all around the area start to fly towards Nidoran, severely hurting it.

"Oh, no…" Garnet checks up on his Nidoran's status, its health remains above half. "Alright, Nidoran. Use Double Kick." Garnet watches as Nidoran throws two kicks from its hind legs against the Dwebble. Dwebble this time slashes at Nidoran with its pincers. "Fury Cutter… then I better finish this off quick."

Garnet throws a Poké Ball at the Dwebble, and the Poké Ball moves back and forth, and the Dwebble gets captured.

"Alright, I caught it…" Garnet looks at his Poké Ball to check Dwebble's information. A Rock-type Pokémon… that won't be very good for the gym either…" Garnet sighs and looks around for any other Pokémon to catch for the gym battle. Garnet feels something shaking in his backpack. "Heh."Garnet takes out the two eggs, and looks at them both while one of them continues to shake. Garnet then puts the other back into his bag. Garnet looks around prepared to head back to Shadepond City to heal his Pokémon but sees a girl crawling on the ground coming out of the grass.

"Ack. Still can't seem to find any Bug Pokémon in this route." The girl tries to get up with his arms but falls back down onto the ground face first.

Garnet runs over to the man. "Hey, is everything alright? Why are you out here? Do you even have a Pokémon?"

"Not really." The girl laughs to herself, Garnet throws the girl onto his shoulder and drags her feet along the ground to get back to Shadepond City.

Amber arrives back in Fuet Cave. "Alright…" Amber looks around for trainers to go through with her tired Quitten beside her.

A large bearded man approaches Amber with his Numel. He walks up to Amber with his Aron. "Hey, missy! Are you ready for a battle?"

"Fake Out, now!" Amber jumps right into the battle giving the opponent no time to react. Her tired Quitten gets up with the strength to fight and claps its front paws together releasing a beam energy causing the Numel to flinch. "Alright, Fury Swipes."

"Oh my, you're sure into this battle." The man points to Quitten. "Flame Burst."

The Numel releases a stream of fire against the kitten Pokémon and hits it, the cat Pokémon gets back up and releases a fury of scratches against the camel Pokémon. The kitten manages to hit with at least five of its attacks.

"Fury Swipes." Amber continues to call out the commands, while Quitten executes.

This time Quitten manages to take on the first move. Quitten manages to scratch the Numel once before Numel avoids, Quitten then charges at the camel Pokémon again and scratches it again. The final scratch lands before the Numel can evade and sends the Numel flying back towards its trainer.

"And that's everything." Amber returns her exhausted Quitten back to its Poké Ball. "Alright, let's see. What else should I do?" Amber looks at her Pokédex for a map function. Amber reaches the fork in the tunnel, and turns to her right. "If forward is going back to Willcliff, I might as well just go to Exeholt City. I can talk to my mother there." Amber then continues on the road to Exeholt City. "If I am correct the gym leader there uses Steel-type Pokémon. So, I should aim to find a Pokémon that would be useful against that gym."

Back at Shadepond's Pokémon Centre, Garnet is sitting down with the girl. "Why were you out at Route 53 without a Pokémon?"

"I wanted to catch a Pokémon before I went on my journey tomorrow, and I was thinking about getting a Bug-Type Pokémon like Arthra of the Elite Four. However, I can't seem to find any bug-type Pokémon on that damn route. I always end up getting attacked by Litleo for that matter." The girl laughs talking to Garnet.

"So do you idolize Arthra?" Garnet confused as to the preference of the man.

"Well, I hope to get to the Elite Four someday, and Arthra was really kind to me when she came over to this town." The girl sighs looking at her scratched hands. "I should've known not to go outside without a Pokémon. Isn't that like the basic rule?"

"Hmm… well." Garnet takes out the Dwebble he caught on Route 53. "I did manage to find a bug-type Pokémon." Garnet lets Dwebble out of its Poké Ball. "However, I was planning to send it back to my parents. Though, I'm sure you can have it. Though for confirmation, I think it's probably best that I let it decide." Garnet thinks back to his fight using Ralts against Katherine for his gym badge. Garnet lets Dwebble out of its Poké Ball.

The girl looks down at Dwebble. "Oh, it's cute. Hello."

"If you want to talk to Dwebble, I suggest you crouch down." Garnet crouches down to get on a similar height as Dwebble. Garnet now being only about twice the height of Dwebble.

The girl instead gets down on the floor of the Pokémon Centre with her head being on a better level to the Dwebble. "Hello." The girl waves her hand at the Dwebble. The Dwebble looks at Garnet and the girl, and waves its pincer as if a reply. "Aww… you're cute." Dwebble smiles and throws its pincers up into the air. Dwebble walks scurries towards the girl and looks at the girl.

Garnet stands back up and takes out his Pokédex to check on the gender of Dwebble. "Heh, it's a girl as well. What do you think of Dwebble?"

The girl gets back up off the ground and dusts her dress off. The Dwebble seems to have moved to the girl's leg.

"It seems to have taken a liking to you." Garnet looks at the girl and hands Dwebble over to her. "Well, just make sure you take good care of it."

"Ok." The girl smiles, "Thank you." She leaves the Pokémon Centre to go back to her house in Shadepond City.

Garnet on the other walks around and looks at the sky. "It's going to be night soon. I'll need to get some more training done." Garnet picks up the shaking egg from the table. Garnet prepares to walk out the door, but the egg glows and the shell splits in half to reveal a caterpillar-like Pokémon with a borad, bitten leaf enfolding its head like a hood. "Oh, this one's hatched now." Garnet takes out the Pokédex. "A Sewaddle,, and a Bug/Grass-type. Perfect." Garnet smiles, and looks at the sky. "Say, how would you like to battle?" The Sewaddle looks at Garnet confused. Garnet laughs and looks at the Sewaddle. "I guess you wouldn't know, would you? Well, let's see if you do."
