What's going on? Black/White 2 are now out! Who are you starting with? I'll post a poll so feel free to answer. As I mentioned at the end of last chapter, two new Pokemon will be added to Owen's team. What's in store for Owen and Alice as they make their way through Slateport city and into Mauville city? Interesting things are on the horizon, people!

Owen's team

Grovyle, level 22, Pound, Pursuit, Absorb, Quick Attack

Swellow, level 25, Peck, Growl, Quick Attack, Wing Attack

Ninjask, level 21, Double Team, Screech, Leech Life, Fury Swipes

Whismur, level 17, Pound, Uproar, Astonish, Howl

Aron, level 14, Headbutt, Mud Slap, Metal Claw, Harden

"Thanks, Mr. Briney," Owen mumbled as he stumbled off of the deranged man's boat. Grovyle stumbled off of the boat with his trainer, and face planted into the sand of the beach that they had arrived at.

"Yeah, thanks." Alice and Amelia walked off of the boat, and Alice cursed under her breath. Mr. Briney laughed at the children and their Pokemon, and he ran towards the bottom of the boat.

"Mauville city is where the next gym is," Owen announced as his dizziness shook off almost immediately. Grovyle pumped his fist into the air, and the two trainers and their Pokemon began to head up north to Mauville city. Slateport was right on the coast of the ocean, and everybody was wearing swimming clothes.

"Maybe there's a water type that I could catch here?" Alice thought out loud. Owen perked up as he heard what Alice said.

"That reminds me! I have to go to the Pokemon center really quick!" Owen dashed towards the Pokemon center while Alice followed behind. Owen ran into the Pokemon center and sat down by the video chat screens. He dialed a very familiar number and waited for the person to pick up.

"Hello? Owen, is that you?" Owen nodded violently, causing Professor. Oak to start laughing.

"Professor. Oak, could you send over that Pokemon that I asked you for in Petalburg?" Owen chastesized.

"Of course, I'm sending it over now." The professor ended the video chat and Owen waited by the transfer machine, where he snatched up the Pokeball as soon as it arrived.

"Come on out!" Owen threw the Pokeball into the air, and a small blue Pokemon appeared. It didn't have any limbs, and parts of its face we're white. "Welcome back Dratini!" Dratini looked at its trainer, and she began to jump happily. Alice came up from behind Owen and gasped as she saw the tiny dragon type.

"Oh my god! Aren't you just the cutest thing ever!" She scooped up the Pokemon and began to cradle it.

"Tiiii!" Dratini fired a powerful Dragonbreath that hit Alice directly. Dratini slithered away from Alice and stood near Owen.

"Grovyle, this is Dratini, she was one of my Pokemon from Johto," Owen explained. Grovyle nodded as he looked pleased at the new addition to "his" team. Owen walked out of the Pokemon center with Grovyle and Dratini walking right behind him, along with Alice and Amelia.

"Hey! Give that back!" a man shouted as he chased after another person that was dressed in red.

"Not a chance! This belongs to Team Magma!" the man in red retorted. Owen looked at Grovyle, who instinctively ran after the Team Magma grunt.

"Grovyle, use Quick Attack!" Grovyle slammed into the man, and knocked something out of his hands. Owen and Alice ran towards him, and Alice picked up the paper.

"It's a blueprint for a submarine," Alice told Owen. The boy scratched his head in confusion, but was stopped when the Team Magma grunt sent out a Mawile. Owen smiled to himself, and called out Aron immediately.

"Aron, let's get some revenge!" Owen cried, but Aron on the other hand didn't want anything to do with the foe.

"Mawile, use Bite!" Mawile chomped down on Aron, making the latter of the two cry in pain.

"Aron, I need you to hit it back!" Owen yelled to the timid Pokemon. Aron still didn't listen, and took another Bite attack.

"That Pokemon of your's sucks!" the Magma grunt snapped. Owen began to flip out, but Aron hung its head low.

"Aron! I know you can do it! Use Headbutt!" Aron had a spark in his eyes, and he slammed his head into the foe Mawile's. The Pokemon stumbled back, and Aron was now in the fighting spirit. "Aron, Metal Claw!" Aron slashed the Mawile with metallic claws, and knocked the Pokemon out.

"Yay! Way to go Aron!" Alice cheered with Amelia, causing Aron to stick his head up with pride.

"That's the kid?" Owen looked into the distance and saw a red haired man wearing a black jump suit.

"Yes sir. He is the one that has stopped us before," a Magma grunt confirmed. The man began to chuckle as he stepped close enough to where Owen could now see him clearly.

"I guess it's time I finish you myself. Camarupt, use Overheat!" Just before he could take out his Pokeball, a figure stepped in front of Owen, and stuck its arms out.

"If anybody's going to finish him, it's me." Owen could tell by the sharpness of the voice that it was the masked trainer from Johto!

"Well then, Camarupt, Overheat!"

"Dragonite, Hyper Beam!" The masked trainer's Dragonite came out before the man could send out his Pokemon, and he was obliterated! The masked trainer turned to face Owen.

"Who are you?" Alice asked from afar.

"Plateau, I'm warning you. Stay out of our business!" The masked trainer hopped onto their Dragonite, and flew away. Owen and his Pokemon looked in terror as the powerful trainer warned Owen.

"Sooooo, Mauville city?" Alice inquired. Owen turned to the girl and nodded as they headed towards the northern exit with a brand new Pokemon, Dratini.

Dratini is back and is sure to play a major role. She will basically be a second starter, and is sure to make Owen's team potent. So, who are you all starting with in Black and White 2?

1) Oshawott

2) Snivy

3) Tepig
