It's finally here! The long awaited chapter! And for those of you who are new to this story and just skipped to this chapter, there's a reason why there hasn't been an upload for a long time. Reason is that I lost my USB, but now that I found it, the adventure can continue!

Last we left off, the gang had recently lost their way in Eterna forest, and due to a ghost Pokémon wanting to have fun, and they ended up meeting some new teammates. Now they find themselves out of the forest, ready for whatever happens next.

I don't own Pokémon…that's it, I don't.

(Third Person POV)

"Finally! Civilization!" Shocker was more than happy to be finally out of the forest and back to a city.

"If you can call it that." Skipper commented in his usually prideful French voice.

Soon Brody, along with Cyril, Oyiva, and Korra follow close behind. "How about we find a Pokémon center before you two get into another argument?" It has only been a few hours and the Sneasel was already getting tired of those two.

"Such a brilliant idea from a brilliant Pokémon. The night is still young, we should-" Before Brody could even finish his words, his mouth is frozen shut by Korra.

"Like I said before, I'm not interested."

Managing to break off the ice, he starts heading towards the Pokémon center. "She is right, it's already getting late, so we better rest up."

So they all start heading towards the healing center, only for a familiar Chimchar to grab Brody and start running off.

"Don't worry I'm a friend! I'll bring him back as soon as I can!"

Everyone sweat drops at the sudden appearance of the Chimchar running off with Brody.

"Should we go save him?" Oyiva was concerned for his new best friend. Shocker just pats the dragon on the head to reassure him.

"It's okay, this kind of stuff happens to him…To be honest I'm still surprised he's still alive. Now let's get going, I don't know about you guys, but sleep sounds perfect right now."

With that, the group heads into the Pokémon center, leaving Brody being dragged away. Eventually the Chimchar stops in front of a huge statue.

"I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw you Brody!"

"Hey Barry, nice to see you too. Mind explaining why you brought me here?"

"Well I figured you just got here so I thought now would be great to show you this statue."

Brody would have smacked him if it wasn't for two things. One, he was tired from his little adventure in the woods. Two, the same Weavile that he meet back at Lake Verity was standing right next to them with his arms behind his back.

"I see that you've come to see Eterna's statue." He voice was filled with a bit of curiosity as he turns to look at the statue. "Shaping our world is time and space in an intertwining spiral. Revered in Sinnoh are the Pokémon of time and space…Sinnoh's myths…It needs investigation…It's time for me to go."

With that the mysterious Weavile walks past them, leaving both of them to wander who exactly was that Pokémon. They stood there before Barry shakes himself.

"Man, what a weird guy. Well I'm off to face the gym leader, you should too. It was fun running into you again."

Before Brody could get a word, Barry runs off, leaving him to sweat drop at the Chimchar. "Guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow."

He takes one more look before going back to the Pokémon center. He didn't get far when suddenly something grabs him by the shoulder, stopping him in place.

"Funny, you don't see that many Riolus around this part of Sinnoh."

Recognizing the voice as a female, Brody turns around to see a Lucario, sporting a friendly smile. "Have I died and gone to heaven? For all I see is an angel in front of me."

"Woah, hold on kid, I think you are a little young to be flirting with someone like me."

"Appearances can be deceiving. But I'm actually a lot older than I look. The name is Brody, may I have the pleasure of having yours?"

"…Cynthia…So what brings you here?"

"I'm here with my team to recover from Eterna forest. Tomorrow we will be facing the gym leader."

"Oh, you're a trainer. Man that brings back memories. I'm hearing doing some research…Here's a little something to help you on your travels." She then hands him a disk with the letters HM01 printed on the item. "Good luck with the gym battle."

She then continues on her way, leaving Brody holding the device in his hands.

"…I will forever cherish this gift from you!"

Soon Brody returns to his team, finding that they had already rented out rooms for the night. The following day, after preparing for the next battle, the gang had all entered the gym, seeing a lush green scenery, filled with an assortment of plants. As they were walking around, they are greeted by multiple vine attacks in front of them, stopping them in their tracks.

"I see that you've come here to challenge the gym leader. Well I, Gardenia, accept your challenge."

Turning to the source of the voice, they see a Roserade standing in the distance. Brody, who immediately recognize the gym leader as a female, jumps over the vine wall and starts rushing towards the gym leader. He jumps forward with arms spread out, only for another Pokémon to tackle him in mid-air, knocking him to the ground. Looking up, Brody sees a Turtwig facing him, already in a battle position.

"If you wish to face our gym leader, you have to get through me first-"

Within seconds, Brody delivers are fierce kick to the grass Pokémon, sending him flying off to the side. "Never get in the way between a Pokémon love for another!"

Everyone just sweat drops at the words of Brody. A Cherrim then enters the battlefield, slightly worried about facing this Riolu. To the surprise of everyone, Brody leaves the exits the field to join his team. He pats Vibrava on the head, giving off a smile.

"You're up Oyiva."

"What are you doing Brody?" Shocker, as well as everyone else was confused as Oyiva flies to face the grass type.

"It is my duty as a gentlemon to never harm any female."

"Don't worry buddy, I'll make sure to protect you from any nasty cooties!"

Oyiva shouts with joy as he immediately tackles the grass Pokémon. She retaliates by using magical leaf, causing Oyiva to flinch. But quickly recovering, he suddenly appears behind Cherrim and delivers a critical faint attack, knocking the grass Pokémon out.

"Impressive. You've met all the requirements to challenge me. Will you be facing me, or will one of your team go against me."

Before Oyiva could answer, Korra is suddenly next to him. "I'll take you on."

Gardenia responds only by nodding and jumping off her platform. Oyiva flies back to the group as the two Pokémon prepare to face each other.

"Just because you have a type advantage, don't think this will be easy."

With that, the Roserade thrust her two rose arms into the ground as her body starts glowing green. Suddenly vines filled with thorns come out of the ground, all rushing towards the Sneasel. Keeping a calm demeanor, she jumps to the side just as the vines were about to make contact. But they didn't stop there, for they changed directions and started following Korra. Without breaking a sweat, she dashes around the battle field, the vines always close behind.

"You may be fast, but that won't help you for long. I can sense everything in this battlefield, my vines will always go after you."

Suddenly Korra makes a sudden turn and starts running towards Gardenia. "If that's the case then I'll just take care of you now."

Gardenia lifts her arms up from the ground and prepares to attack the rushing ice Pokémon. "Don't think I'm going to let you-"

Suddenly Gardenia was at lost for words, for Korra had vanished out of thin air, only to appear right behind the grass Pokémon, her claws glowing an icy blue. Seconds pass until the Roserade collapses on the ground, leaving everyone speechless. An oddish rushes towards the two to check on the gym leader, but is surprised to found that she is unconscious.

"Gardenia is no longer able to battle, the victors are the challengers! Here's the gym badge for your victory!"

With that the oddish hands Korra the badge, which she takes and goes back to the team. As soon as she hands it to Brody, the team starts congratulating her for her victory. Everyone except for Brody, who was still speechless. He wasn't shocked over her victory, but how she had defeated Gardenia.

"Interesting, I've only seen one other Pokémon use that form of attack before…Looks like there's more to this Sneasel then beneath the eyes."

"Hey Brody, come on, your team is leaving you behind!"

His thoughts are drawn away at the shouting of Shocker, who was already at the door. "You guys go on ahead, I'll catch up to you real fast."

"Whatever."

Shocker leaves the building, giving Brody the chance to check on Gardenia. There were other grass Pokémon healing the gym leader and her team.

"How is she?"

And oddish, the same one who announced the winners, looks up answers back. "She'll be find, though I'm really surprised she was beaten. I didn't even see her get attacked."

Brody takes a closer look at the body to see multiple cuts over her body. "Yup, this is just like his style…I better keep a close eye on Korra."

Brody then excuses himself out of the gym, spotting his team in the distance. Rushing ahead, he catches up to them, all of them ready to head to the next destination.

Okay, sorry for the super long update. Reasons as to why it took so long was because for a while I had lost my USB that contained my files. Luckily I found it awhile back, but because it was a long time since I last updated, it was somewhat difficult to get back into the motion of writing this story. But now I'm back…yay.

So the battle itself actually was somewhat easy. Guess it helps when you have an ice type on your team. And since we are back with the story, now it's time for another question of the chapter. Not exactly a trivia, mostly because we just got back to this story.

Favorite Legendary Pokemon? Mine would be Mewtwo, always!

Anyways, until next time.
