Last chapter everybody was introduced to the new character, Lucy Salvador, who was sent in by LalaynatheDark, and Lucy helped Owen and Mint take down Pon. And I ended the chapter with someone challenging Owen to a battle. Also, please vote for the new poll that's on my profile. So enough jibber jabber from me, let's get cracking at this chapter!

Owen's team

Totodile, level 14, Scratch, Bite, Rage, Water Gun

Hoothoot, level 11, Tackle, Growl, Foresight, Peck

Quilava, level 14, Quick Attack, Flame Wheel, Smokescreen, Ember

Heracross, level 15, Horn Attack, Leer, Endure, Tackle

"Why is that kid's hair brick red?" Lucy asked Mint. He shrugged and looked on at Owen, who was getting ready for his battle against Caleb.

"3 vs. 3?" Owen asked Caleb.

"Zubat, go!" Owen sweat dropped at his rival. He thought about who to use, and decided to go with air to air combat.

"Hoothoot, take to the skies! Then use Peck!" Hoothoot flew into the air, and his beak began to glow white.

"Zubat, use Wing Attack!" Zubat's wings began to glow white, and the two flying types collided. Each Pokemon took heavy damage, and crashed into ground. Hoothoot stood up with ease, while Zubat on the other hand, had quite some trouble getting back up.

"Hoothoot, end it with Peck!" Owen shouted. The sturdy Pokemon pecked at the injured foe Zubat, and knocked it out. Caleb stomped on the ground furiously as he withdrew his fallen Zubat.

"Bayleef, go! Use Body Slam!" Caleb's Bayleef appeared, looking very angry. It jumped up into the air, and fell downwards.

"Hoothoot, use Peck!" Hoothoot flew up towards Bayleef, and was bulldozed into the ground, inflicting a very small amount of damage to the foe Bayleef. Hoothoot was pinned to the ground, barely conscious.

"End it with Razor Leaf!" Bayleef whipped the leaf on its head, and slashed Hoothoot with the grass type attack. Hoothoot had swirls for eyes, and was twitching uncontrollably. "Bayleef, return. Go, Gastly!"

"Hoothoot, return. Go, Totodile! Use Water Gun!" Gastly was hit by the water type attack, and began to shake itself, trying to become dry.

"Gastly, use Curse!" Caleb dictated. Gastly's eyes began to glow blue, and then a needle appeared in the air. Gastly was slowly stabbed by the needle, and then fainted!

"What was the point of that?" Owen yelled at Caleb. He snickered as he shook his head.

"Owen, it cuts the user's health by half of its max health, and it inflicts a curse on the opponent," Mint explained. Owen grimaced, and then withdrew Totodile.

"Gastly, return. Go, Bayleef!" Bayleef stared down Totodile, remembering the Pokemon from its days with Professor. Elm and Cyndaquil.

"Totodile, return. Go, Heracross!" Caleb stared wide eyed at the blue beetle.

"How did you get a Heracross?" he asked in awe. Owen and Heracross didn't answer the question, and just stared down Caleb and Bayleef.

"Heracross, use Horn Attack!" Heracross opened his wings, and flew towards Bayleef with his horn glowing white. Caleb smirked, and so did Bayleef.

"Squash it with Body Slam!" Bayleef jumped up into the air, and fell on top of Heracross! Owen grinned, along with Mint.

"Heracross, toss it!" Owen screamed. Bayleef was hurled into the air, and Heracross flew after it. "Heracross, use Horn Attack!" The single horn Pokemon slammed the grass type starter into the ground, causing rocks to shoot up around it. The leaf Pokemon had swirls for eyes, and it was recalled by Caleb.

"You got lucky. I'll win next time," he spat as he began to walk away.

"Well I'm going to heal my Pokemon," Owen announced as he headed towards the Pokemon center. Mint and Lucy followed behind as the three began to converse.

"So what are you guys doing here?" Lucy asked.

"Well, Owen over here," mint started as he looked over at the hyper 10 year old. "is going to compete In the Silver Conference. And I joined with him just in case that Caleb kid does something evil, which he is."

"So you went along with him because of the red head?" she asked Mint. He ne'er thought of it that way.

"I guess so," he replied. Owen, who now was leaving the Pokemon center yelled,

"If you two are done talking, I'm going to the gym!" He walked out of the Pokemon center, but came storming back in. "Where is the gym?" Owen asked.

"To the left, and then take the next right," Lucy instructed. Owen bolted out of the entrance, and Lucy looked at Mint with disappointment written all over her face. "Is he always that hyper?" she inquired.

"Always," Mint groaned.

Owen walked into the gym, staring at it in awe. It was a large forest, with luscious trees everywhere. Owen walked through a strange maze, being attacked by colonies of Beedrill.

"Holy crap!" Owen screamed as the group of Beedrill began to close in on the child. "Heracross, help!" Owen shrieked as Heracross defended it.

"Scyther, use Slash!" All of the Beedrill fell to the ground, and Owen turned to see either a boy or girl, Owen couldn't tell.

"Thanks, you really saved me back there," Owen said as he sheepishly rubbed his neck.

"I am Bugsy, the gym leader of the Azalea town gym." Heracross and Scyther stared one another down.

"So what are the rules for the battle?" Owen inquired.

"The rules are simple. 4 vs. 4, only you may substitute your Pokemon, and the entire jungle is the battlefield." Both Owen and Bugsy looked over at their Pokemon, who seemed like they wanted to throw down right there at that very moment. "Come with me," Bugsy ordered as he and Owen headed to the battlefield.

"Quilava, you're up first!" Owen screamed as he reached his side of the battlefield.

"Pineco, I need your assistance!"

Next chapter will be Owen vs. Bugsy, and it is sure to be an intense battle. Also, I will be writing another story, which is Owen against the Kanto Elite 4! If anybody wants to read it please tell me via review, PM, etc. thanks for reading. Till next time, peace out.
