Rain was chasing a wild Eevee who had stolen Ash's hat.

"Come back here!" She yelled, People around town were looking at her and smirking. " Hey, that's my bro's! I'm not even supposed to have it!"

Eevee laughed at her.

"I've had enough of this!" She yelled, " Eevee, tackle !"

Her Eevee slammed into the wild Eevee and they began tackling each other. Finally, the wild Eevee slammed into a rock.

"Pokeball go!" she stopped catching her breath and picking up her brothers hat. The pokeball shook and shook then flew into her hand. People gasped around her . "What? Was I not supposed to catch that Eevee?"

"It's okay." Dusty said walking up. "That Eevee has been reeking havoc in this town for years. No one has been able to catch it or figure out why it does what it does."

"Eevee, I choose you." The Eevee popped out. " Why are you stealing things ?"

Eevee began talking. Rain cocked her head.

"So you were stealing things because you were hoping to find a water stone and evolve into Vaporeon?"

The new Eevee nodded.

Rain sighed and got into her back pack she had switched back from her satchel because she didn't like the way it fit. She pulled out one of the new water stones. She was very good at finding stones and had most now displayed in her room. She still carried a few with her though. She held it out.

"Here. A water stone." She put it on Eevee's head. she pointed her Pokedex and got a scan as it evolved into a Vaporeon. "I'm not letting you go so now you are my Vaporean."

Vaporeon ran around happily.

Rain handed Ash's hat over guiltily when they got to the tournament area.

"I wanted to see if it looked Cool on me like it does on you." She explained, " So I took it. Then the wild Eevee stole. So I chased it and we caught it. It told us it wanted to Evolve to a Vaporeon so I gave it a water stone. I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Ash sighed running fingers through his hair. then putting his hat on. "You have five pokemon now?"

"Abra, Eevee, Parasect, Magikarp, and Vaporeon." Rain beamed, "It's really cool. I have a lot of Pokemon now!"

"NOW!" the announcer called, "It's time for our final battle in this part of the Tournament!"

Rain beamed Dick smiled in fondness and shood her off.

Rain ran to her spot. She clenched her teeth as the Arena ground shook and a water field appeared. She sighed, she'd been taking swimming lessons with Lisa and wasn't scared anymore.

"Choose pokemon!"

"Magikarp!"

"Vulpix!"

"You don't know your type match ups!" Rain called as they were told to begins. "Magikarp, return!" She threw another pokeball. " Vaporeon, I choose you!"

"Ember!"

"Go under the water and vanish!" Rain called, knowing that Vaporeon could vanish in water. Ember missed, "Now, Vaporeon, Water Gun!"

Vaporeon popped out of the water and blasted water at Vulpix who was blasted into the water.

"You should recall that pokemon!" Rain called, "Fire is weak against water! Water pokemon have the advantage in water!"

It became apparent that the boy had no idea about advantages and had only won because so far they hadn't used element fields . The next field was the fire field and he chose a staryu.

"Oh, brother." Rain murmured. "Magikarp, return! Abra, I choose you!"

Dusty was laughing from his seat in the stands. Oak was smiling and shaking his head at the girl.

"Start off with Water Gun!"

"Abra, teleport !" Abra vanished, " Now use Thunder punch!"

Staryu was electrocuted but kept fighting until it was taken out.

"Maybe I'm used to Sis's Staryu but that Staryu isn't really that tough." Rain said standing with her arms behind her head having recalled Abra. The field became a rock field . Ash was laughing now and Misty smirking looking superior. "Well, as you know I'm Choosing Magikarp."

"Grrrr!" the boy growled, " Bulbasaur!"

"Again bad choice!" Rain called, she sighed and tossed a ball. " Abra, come back out!"

"Use vine whip!"

"Teleport!" Rain sighed, she'd been looking forward to a good fight. " Use Fire Punch!"

Bulbasaur jumped out of the way then slammed into Abra. Abra vanished after it appearing back in front of Rain.

"Are you okay?"

Abra nodded.

"Okay, " Rain nodded, "Try another Fire Punch!"

Bulbasaur was ignoring it's trainer and Vine whipping everything in sight. It was helpful because Abra was not getting off a hit.

"Okay, are you annoyed as much as me?" Rain asked Abra nodded, "Should I switch?"

A nod.

"Abra return!" Abra vanished. " Parasect, I choose you!"

Parasect came out and the boy sputtered.

"Wait is you weak bug pokemon?"

"Paras is a Grass/ Bug type pokemon!" Rain called, back "and she evolved into Parasect here. Cool huh?"

"Why that one though?" He called, "Bulbasuar is a grass type. "

"Actually , Bulbasuar is a Grass/ Poison type Pokemon!" Rain replied, " and I sent Parasect wont get that much damage from the Vine whip your Bulbasaur is spamming "

Blubasaur kept using Vine whip but Parasect showed off some speed and kept hitting with Cut.

Parasect jumped away from the Vine whip and slashed out with cut again. Blubasaur finally went down.

"Did you get that pokemon in a trade?" Rain asked recalling Parasect.

"Yeah, Why?"

"It doesn't trust you yet." She shrugged, "that's why it didn't listen to you. "

The floor changed to the grass field.

"Sandshrew!"

"Eh." Rain sweat dropped, This kid wasn't listening to her about the type advantages. " Wanna battle Eevee?"

Eevee yawned.

"Okay, " Rain tossed a Pokeball. "Vaporeon! I choose you!"

Vaporeon popped out ready to fight.

"Water Gun!"

"Hit it with Rapid Spin!"

Vaporeon spewed water sending it flying as it rolled at it. It hit the ground hard. It stumbled to it's feet.

"Come on, you should've powered right through that!" The boy yelled, " Come on get up, and use the Earthquake move that Uncle taught you!"

Rain bit her lip. Did that thing really know Earthquake? If so then she was screwed. She didn't have any flying types.

"Use Earthquake. "

Sandshrew sat down and bawled.

"Get up and use Earthquake!"

Rain and Vaporeon sweat dropped.

"I feel bad for that poor Sandshrew." Rain sighed, Vaporeon nodded, "oh, well, it's a battle so use Water Gun."

Sandshrew went flying into it's trainer blasting them both off the field.

"Winner Rain Ketchum!"

Rain recalled Vaporeon and went to the stand where she stood on the first place stand. Lisa had come in third and the boy second. She beamed as she got a medal around her neck and a Trophy.

"Now the Prize for the first place winner!" A man walked up and made a show of handing Rain a Pokeball. " This Pokeball contains a Pokemon called Nidoran!"

"Thank you!"

Rain's mom took her Trophy and kissed her head.

Rain let the Nidoran out. It was a tiny female Nidoran.

"Hi." she said, "I'm your new trainer."

Nidoran blinked and began talking.

"Your brother?" Rain asked, arms behind her head again. " The man has him?" she talked again. "I don't know how but I'll try to get him. I cant make promises."

Rain walked up to the man who gave her Nidoran.

"Excuse me." He smiled at her. " My Nidoran says you have her brother."

"I have a male Nidoran yes." he nodded, "I watched your battles and I would trade it for that Parasect of yours."

Rain frowned in thought. Then nodded. They went to a trade machine and they traded. She then ran back over to her family.

"Now it's time for our Up Coming Trainers Tournament. " The announcer called "The first Battle will Be Ash vs. Alan!"

Ash stood ready to fight. He ignored everyone around him and quickly found out that Poliwag was going to rule this battle. Alan only had fire pokemon.

In the stands Rain was pointing her pokedex along with Gary. Who was frowning. Clearly not happy with how Ash was performing. Ash was winning hands down.
