Disclaimer: Don't own pokemon, but I do own the OC's

A/N: I have had a serious amount of writer's block lately and it's still workin on me, so I'm not sure when my updates will come for the time being, but anyway on with the story. Also, thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far. RECAP: Cody and Leslie faced off against the evil organization known as Team Terra with the help of Oreburgh Gym Leader, Roark. After the events unfolded, our heroes left Oreburgh on there way to Floaroma Town.

"Well, I guess we should stop and get a bite to eat before we continue on to Floaroma," Cody said.

"Yeah, I'm starving," Leslie said.

They were in Jubilife after coming from Oreburgh. They had earned a lot of money due to the battles they encountered on the way there. Altogether, they had 6,500 pokedollars which they spent half to restock there supplies. Now they were headed to a small food stand beside the Jubilife News Center. They sat down and ate, planning how they would get to Floaroma.

"It looks like the only way to get there is through the Ravaged Path," Cody said, pointing to a small mark on the map.

"Okay," Leslie said, taking a bite out of the hamburger she'd ordered.

They finished eating and started toward the North Exit. They walked a little while afterwards and ran into a young boy. He was sitting on the ground, crying.

"What's the matter?" Leslie asked as they walked up.

The boy looked up and said,"I can't find my Psyduck. I was playing with it and looked away, when I turned back it had disappeared!"

"Would you know where it could have gone?" Cody asked.

"The only place I can think of is the Ravaged Pass, but I told Psyduck that we should never go in there," the boy said.

"Well, I guess we could help out, right Cody?" Leslie said, nudging Cody.

"Sure kid, we'll help," Cody said.

"Cool, and my name is Marty," the boy said.

"Nice to meet ya Marty, I'm Leslie," Leslie said.

"Well let's get going," Cody said.

They headed toward the Ravaged Path. They reached it about 10 minutes later and they walked in.

"Well, at least it's light in here," Cody said.

"Are you sure this isn't any trouble?" Marty asked Leslie.

"It's fine," Leslie said waving her hand. "We were headed this way anyhow."

"Hey, come and look you two!" Cody yelled from a little way away.

They walked up to him and he pointed out two sets of footprints. One was webbed while the other was like a paw.

"It's Psyduck's footprint!" Marty said. "But, I wonder what the other is?"

"They lead into the water and then stop," Cody said. "I don't know how we're gonna follow them."

"How about this pathway?" Leslie said, pointing at a small slip of land that led deeper into the cave.

All of a sudden they heard a cry of pain from farther in.

"Oh no, Psyduck!" Marty yelled and ran toward the sound.

"Marty, wait, it might be dangerous!" Leslie yelled running after him. Cody followed closely behind.

They had trouble keeping up with Mrty and lost him after a short time. They kept running the way they thought he had went when they ran into a clearing and saw him. Standing in front of him was a group of Buizels and Psyducks cowering away from a Floatzel and Golduck. Marty was talking to Psyduck and a lone Buizel was standing with him. Cody pulled out his pokedex to check all the pokemon.

Buizel; the Sea Weasel Pokemon: It has a flotation sac that is like an inflatable collar. It floats on water with its head out.

Floatzel; the Sea Weasel Pokemon and evolved form of Buizel: It floats using its well-developed flotation sac. It assists in the rescues of drowning people.

Psyduck; the Duck Pokemon: If its usual headache worsens, it starts exhibiting odd powers. It can't remember doing so, however.

Golduck; the Duck Pokemon and evolved form of Psyduck: A Pokémon that lives in lakes. It swims faster than any human swimming champion.

"What's happening here?" Leslie asked Marty.

"The Golduck and Floatzel aree bullying the Buizels and Psyducks," Marty said.

The Golduck and Floatzel both sent a Water Gun at the two groups and they scattered. Golduck and Floatzel sat there laughing.

"We gotta stop them," Leslie said.

"Psyduck tried and was hurt, I'm not sure if we could," Marty said.

"We'll try," Cody said sending out Luxio. Luxio came out and growled at the two pokemon. They both started laughing again.

"Laugh at this," Cody said. "Luxio, use Spark!"

Luxio started flashing with electricity as it ran toward the pokemon. They both jumped away and shot a Water Gun at Luxio, knocking it back toward Cody. It stood up and shook off the attack.

"I may need some help," Cody said.

"Okay, go Turtwig!" Leslie said.

Just as Turtwig came out, Floatzel shot a Water Gun at one of the Psyduck. "NO!" Leslie yelled and jumped in front of the Psyduck, taking the hit in the back.

"Leslie!" Cody said as she fell. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," she said shakily. "Turtwig, use Razor Leaf on them!"

The Psyduck stared in awe at Leslie as Turtwig slung a flurry of leaves at the bullies. They both dodged, but Flatzel was hit by a few. It fell to the ground with a look of anger on its face. It shot an Ice Beam at Turtwig, freezing it instantly. Golduck ran foward and hit Luxio with an Ice Punch, knocking it unconcious.

"Turtwig!" Leslie yelled as she ran toward it. Cody ran to Luxio as well.

The Floatzel and Golduck noticed Marty unprotected and shot a Water Gun at him. The two attacks combined and hit....Psyduck. Marty's Psyduck had jumped in front of the attack and saved Marty.

"Psyduck?" Marty asked looking up.

"Psy!" Psyduck said, and flashed in a burst of light.

"Psyduck's evolving!" Cody said.

"Golduck!" Golduck said. It used Psychic on the other Golduck and slammed it into the cave wall, knocking it out. The Floatzel got scared and ran away.

"You did it Golduck!" Marty said, running over and hugging it. Golduck closed its eyes and smiled.

"Well I guess this is where we part ways," Cody said.

They had reached the exit to Ravaged Path after the incident with the Golduck and Floatzel. The Psyducks and Buizels thanked them and returned back to wherever they had came from in the cave. Now they were standing outside the path and the sun was just starting to set.

"Yeah I guess so," Marty said. "Thanks again for your help."

All of a sudden a Psyduck walked out of the cave and went up to Leslie.

"What is it Psyduck?" Leslie asked politely. Psyduck moved its bill toward one of Leslie's pokeballs.

"I think Psyduck wants to come with you Leslie," Marty said.

"Is this true Psyduck?" Leslie asked, Psyduck nodded. "Okay then, welcome to the team!"

She tossed the pokeball toward Psyduck and it jumped in, catching it without struggle.

"Cool, you got a Psyduck," Cody said.

"Hey Cody, next time we meet I want a battle!" Marty said.

"Sure thing Marty," Cody said.

They waved their goodbyes as both parties went there own way. Cody and Leslie decided to stop and make camp a short time later. After they had ate they got out there sleeping bags. Cody pulled out his journal.

"You have a journal?" Leslie asked.

"Yeah, but I completely forgot about it and I haven't written in it since we met," Cody said.

"Oh," Leslie said. "Well, goodnight."

"Goodnight," Cody said as Leslie flipped over. He finished writing his entry and put his journal back in his bag. He sat there a minute before yawning and decide to go to sleep.

"Well, today was an eventful day, hope the rest of the journey is this exiting," was Cody's last though before he drifted to sleep.
