Pokѐmon Journey III: Jezabel's Voyage

by Halloween Witch

It was a quiet and dull moving experience for Jezebel Emery-Twin who moved from one side of the Hoenn region to another to be closer to her father and start her pokemon journey. Instead of going to her father for a first pokemon like was planned, she ended up receiving one of Professor Birch's pokemon when he's attacked. Full summery inside!

Pokѐmon Journey III: Jezebel's Voyage

Chapter 14: A Scorching Battle

Jezebel's Point of View:

I woke up with the most horrid pain in the side of my chest and I cried out when I felt it pulse. I squinted open my eyes and tried to look around, only to see a few bodies flying before my vision. I glanced around and as the time passed on and the pain began to numb in my side, I saw something glowing in front of me. I think I saw… was it Violet?

"Hang in there, girl. Everything's gonna be alright." I could barely hear her, but I tried my hardest to stay with her as she kept healing my chest. Eventually, things seemed to calm down and my vision began to clear as I saw the girl more clearly and I noticed that her umbreon was next to her, also using his healing ability. I began to see things past her and saw her own pokemon worriedly fretting over my head. I believe it was her umbreon who had the gift of healing with powers of the moonlight.

"Whoa… what hit me…?"

"Rose, sadly." I heard Violet sigh and I closed my eyes for a moment and just listened to her. "She attacked you and your friends after Team Magma and Team Aqua left the area." I heard her chuckle. "Congrats for getting them out of the area. Not many can take down the admins of criminal organizations."

I snorted. "It doesn't matter. I didn't face their leaders. They ran off before I could battle them, and there was also Rose. I wasn't able to take her on."

"Well, I didn't expect you to take her on in battle. You only have three badges." I felt her hand pat my hair. "You're just a young trainer. There's no need to rush."

"There is. I have to stop Team Aqua and Team Magma." I groaned as I felt my head pulse at the sound of them. "Man, my head hurts."

"Why exactly do those two teams mean so much to you?" I glanced up through my eyelids at the woman who worriedly looked down at me. I could see the worry in her older eyes; she had about four to five years over me and my friends.

"I don't need them messing up my friends' journeys. They've already attacked us a few times; I just plan on making their lives hell."

"Really? It doesn't have to do anything with that story that you were telling them?" My eyes widened at that. "I don't know what you told them, but the look on their faces told me you had to have said something. I don't expect you to tell me if its personal, but I know there's another reason behind it."

"And I'd rather it stay that way for a while, but yes, it is personal." I slowly began to sit up in the bed and propped myself up against the pillows I was laying on. "How long was I out?"

"Almost a week." My eyes widened at her. "Your pokemon have been worried sick, but they were trying to stay strong and continue training. I was shocked to see even your little fearful surskit training and he evolved, but was still reluctant to fight most of the time. He does still tend to spend most of his time with your beautifly."

"Spinner? He battled? He evolved?"

"Yes, into a masquerain. I also noticed that your kirlia evolved into a Gallade. I was shocked to see that you managed to get a Sinnoh region pokemon here."

"So that's what Blade is now?"

"Would you like to get the information on them? Your pokemon are all outside, I'll show you Blade's information now since I know you can't get it on your own pokedex." She pulled out her own pokedex and showed me a picture of my pokemon on her ocean blue pokedex that was old and worn from the past four years.

Gallade, the blade pokemon and the evolved form of kirlia with a dawn stone and only in a male form. A master of courtesy and swordsmanship, he fights using the extending swords on his elbows. When trying to protect someone, he extends his elbows as if they were swords and fights savagely. Because he can sense what his foe is thinking, he attacks first, fast and fiercely. There are no known gallade nests in this region.

I blinked over at the information of my newly evolved pokemon before I slowly stood up from my bed. I looked out the window and used the frame to hold me up as I saw most of the others training outside heavily with their and my own pokemon. I saw Blaze first; he was throwing out flaming punches at Aria's grovyle. Casey's marshstomp was also facing off against my pokemon, against Acey, and she was knocking him all over the place with the speed she now had now that she had evolved and gained wings. Spinner was working with Silky as they faced off against Mattie's new pokemon, Kaida, and while Spinner did have a bit of trouble, Silky kept right up with him and helped him out. I pulled out my own pokedex and pointed it at all the new pokemon.

Blaziken, the blaze pokemon and the evolved form of combusken. It learns martial arts that use punches and kicks. Every several years, its old feathers burn off, and new, supple feathers grow back in their place. When facing a tough foe, it releases flames from its wrists. Its powerful legs let it jump clear over buildings. There are no known blaziken nests in this region.

Vibrava, the vibration pokemon and the evolved form of trapinch. It releases ultrasonic waves by rubbing its wings together. Since a vibrava's wings are still in the process of growing, it can only fly short distances. This pokemon's ultrasonic waves are so powerful, they can bring on headaches in people. There are no known vibrava nests. Please wait… updating shiny pokemon information…

Poor little Spinner. I could see that his body had changed. He could fly now, and had a set of thin wings on his sides, four of them. His body was a light blue/lavender color and had a set of skin that had grown out of his head that looked like a giant eye with a brown background that was split in two. His eyes were wide as he flew around in a mad dash to keep up with Silky.

Masquerain, the eyeball pokemon and the evolved form of surskit. It intimidates foes with the large eyelike patterns on its antennae. Because it can't fly if its wings get wet, it shelters itself from rain under large trees and leaves. There are no known masquerain nests in this region.

Aria's newest pokemon, her grovyle, was a dark green in color with somewhat stubby legs that had a lot of muscle to them. It looked like it could jump over a building, like Blaze could. Attached to his light green arms there were long leaves that looked like blades while another long leaf came down the top of its head. It had a reddish underbelly and yellow eyes and a longer face.

Grovyle, the wood gecko pokemon and the evolved form of treecko. Leaves grow out of this pokemon's body. They help obscure a grovyle from the eyes of its enemies while it is in a thickly overgrown forest. Its strongly developed thigh muscles give it astounding agility and jumping performance. There are no known grovyle nests in this region.

I was also surprised to see that Casey had a new pokemon on his team. There were thick claws on its front arms that were brown while the rest of the body was grey with some spots of green and large bug like eyes on a longer bodied bug pokemon with four legs behind its claws. There were two antennae on its head down before its face.

Nincada, the trainee pokemon. It makes its nest at the roots of a mighty tree. Using its whisker-like antennae, it probes its surroundings in the pitch-black darkness of soil. Because it lived almost entirely underground, it is nearly blind. It uses its antennae instead. Nincada nests are uncommon and tend to be found on route one-sixteen.

I shook my head as I took in all the information and it was then that I saw Blaze look back to the window that I stood in. He blinked before he cried out to the others and all action on the field halted as the others all looked up at me. I waved lightly to them before I had all my pokemon rushing their way up to me in the second story of the building I was in, and from the white color, I assumed it was a hospital.

Blade and Blaze both jumped up and grabbed a hold of the roof in order to hang there with their legs against the walls to talk with me. Silky, Spinner and Acey quickly flew into the room and circled around me, landing on whatever free inch of skin they could find that wasn't my shoulder that Rose tore up.

"Hey you guys, sorry I made you worry." My pokemon seemed not to care in that moment as they grabbed any part of me that they could and hugged me all over. I even saw my two guardian pokemon reach their hands in to grab mine. I couldn't help but show them a smile, one that they all desperately needed to see after a long week of me being knocked out. "Are you guys alright?"

"Blaze… blaziken blaze. Blaziken blaze blaze." Blaze was quick to reach up past my hand and touch the side of my face.

"And I'm sorry I worried you, but I'm fine, other than a few dings on my body, that is." I shook my and patted everyone's face. "Let me get changed really quickly and I'll be downstairs and outside in a little bit. I could use some fresh air and I'd like to see the others." My pokemon nodded, but they seemed to refuse to leave. I snorted a laugh and turned back to Violet. "Can I have my clothes? I'm gonna take a shower."

The woman nodded and grabbed them from behind herself on a table. "Just be careful not to touch the newly grown skin around your wound, it's still going to hurt for a few days or more, girl, so be careful." I nodded to her and walked to the shower before my pokemon jumped off my body and allowed me in the shower room.

I left the door cracked for them and quickly hopped in to get cleaned up. I felt so filthy as the water rolled down over my body, and I quickly pulled out a washcloth to help wipe away the dirt.

"Hey Violet?" I heard movement on the other side of the door and she pushed it open before I heard her set herself on the vanity, listening.

"What's up?" she finally questioned me after I didn't speak for a few moments.

"Tell me this… why did Rose attack me?"

"Why? Well… there are a lot of reasons for that, Hon." I heard the woman sigh and she shook her head. "First and foremost, your two shiny pokemon."

"Silky and Acey? What about them?"

"Rose has always had a fetish for shiny Pokemon. She tried to kill me many times over for Amethyst, my charizard. She did the same thing to Gwyn with Scarlet, her gyarados. Now the fact that you have two in your possession compared to one makes you an even more likely target. Even your friend Aria is in danger from Rose in that regard." She paused for a moment to let this information sit and I turned back to my shower got back to cleaning myself up. "The second reason has, most likely, to do with her madness; she's obsessed with killing people. I bet she was assuming that some people would die in the battle between the two organizations that you fought against, but when you came in and stopped them, she lost it and decided to take you out." I heard Violet sigh again and the woman jumped off the vanity, I could hear it when her shoes hit the ground. "She loves to watch blood roll down a body's pale skin, she's obsessed with watching a soul leave a person's body, and not only that, but she loves to see their agony as they die. She's killed hundreds of people in the past; she won't hesitate to do it again in the present or future."

"Okay…" I felt my blood start pumping from that reason, that woman was seriously insane. "But…" I tried to get back on track. "What about the other reasons?"

"The last major one that I can really tell you about, Hon, is that you're powerful." I blinked for a moment before I peeked through the shower curtain at the woman. "You're stronger than normal trainers. It could be the fact that you're the daughter of a gym leader, or you were destined to have this kind of bond with your pokemon and meet very powerful pokemon. In essence, Rose believes that because you are strong at a young age and are so finely tuned with your pokemon, that you'll turn out like me and Gwyn, and most likely follow in our footsteps."

"You mean like to become the champion of Hoenn? That is part of my dream."

"Part?" The woman blinked at me in surprise. "What's the other part of this dream of yours?"

"Being with my family again, both of them, and having control over my life." I sighed as I finished up in the shower and shut off the water. I reached out to grab my towel and felt Violet hand it to me. "Thanks. And as I was saying, my mother has taken me away from all of my family that has meant something to me, both human and pokemon. I want to be able to change that, and with power on my side from being the champion, not only would I be the strongest trainer, my mother would have no choice but to listen to me."

"I can see where you're coming from entirely. I was on the run from my own mother when I was your age." I blinked at the woman as I stepped out of the shower.

"You were?"

She grinned at me. "You better believe it, Hon. My mother found out I was attacked by Team Rocket on my first day of becoming a trainer and totally flipped. She tried to send my brother and my boyfriend after me to keep me safe. That didn't happen or work of course… but…" The woman paused for a moment and I was on the end of my feet listening to her story.

"But what?"

"But once I made peace with my mother… my goal changed. Of course I still wanted to be a champion, and I'm glad I am one, but I wanted to be strong to help others, like my mother, like my younger brother at the time, not to mention I wanted to take Team Rocket down and lock away their bosses. I've only managed to get one. Now I'm after the other."

"Oh, wow…" I gaped at her before I snorted. "That's great and everything, Violet, but I doubt I'll ever see eye to eye with my mother. She's too… controlling to say the least."

She chuckled and walked over to ruffle my wet hair. "Don't talk like that. I thought so too for a while, and look how things turned out for me. Just give her a chance. Christmas is coming up, why not then?"

"That's still not for almost two months away, and I still don't think it's gonna work." I shook my head and looked away from her. "…but I'll give it a shot. But that's it."

She snorted a laugh at my last comment. "Glad to hear it, Hon. Now get dressed. You have a lot of people who want to see you, not to mention some people who want to meet you." The champion then took her leave from the bathroom and allowed me to dress in peace. I slipped on my clean clothing in silence before I stepped out of the bathroom and put on my shoes in the room I was staying in.

My pokemon were all waiting for me there and so was Violet with her dark type around her shoulders. She grinned when she saw me all dressed and sat on the windowsill before she turned around on it and slip off the wood and off to the ground. I rushed over to see her land on the ground, and to my surprise she was already there, grinning up at me with her lazy dark type.

"Well, let's head down too… oww…" I flinched at the pain in my shoulder and chest from where Rose hit me, it was going to be a while before I could do dramatic stuff like I used to do. I turned to Blaze, who seemed to have hands compared to Blade's solid arms, or solid arms with a small set of hands at the end of the bladed arm. "Can one of you guys help me down? I'm not ready for extreme stunts again yet."

Blaze nodded and reached into the window. I wrapped my arms around his neck, feeling the soft and thick feathers of his coat, before he pulled my body out of the window and set me back in his arm. He released the roof in his other hand and allowed us to fall to the ground. I never even felt the landing as Blaze's feet hit the ground. Blade followed right after and all my flying pokemon raced after me, still crowding around once I was on the ground. Blaze set me down, but kept a hand on my shoulder and squeezed it- thankfully, the one that wasn't hurt.

"Jez!" I turned my head at my name that someone screeched. Aria was at the head of the pack of my own friends that were racing toward me. Casey was shortly behind her, almost trying to overtake her, the two of them seemed to be in a competition to see who could get to me first. Poor Mattie was left in the back and had a hard time running after them with his heart problems and asthma.

Both Aria and Casey crashed into me and knocked me over onto my back when tackling me in a hug. Mattie rushed up behind them and from his shortness of breath; he fell on top of them, all on top of me. Casey and Aria ended up being both on half of my body from where they fell, and Mattie, who was over the two of them, was smack in the middle, almost lined up with my body. While the others were breathing heavily for air and looking away for a moment, I had a moment to myself where my emerald eyes were locked with Mattie's sapphire blue ones. There seemed to be this moment where they were just… stuck. I couldn't look away from the depth of the gem-like orbs he had for eyes.

"U-h-h… s-s-orry!" The moment was broken when Mattie threw himself off the pile and the others pushed themselves off me too.

"Oh, dear Latias… Jezebel, are you okay?" Aria was quick to come back over to me and help me sit up. "We didn't hurt you, did we?"

"Not at all, and I'm fine, all save for my pride that is." I sighed and showed her a smile. "Help me up?"

She gave me a sad smile, knowing where my sorrow was coming from. "Sure." She held out her hand, after getting to her feet, and took mine in her own before yanking me up. Once I was up, I felt Silky land herself on my head while Spinner grabbed onto my shoulder. Acey took the other one and Blade and Blaze took a stand on either side of me.

"Well now, she's got quite a line of defense there; she's gonna be a tough one, Vi." I turned my head around to look at the male that spoke. Dark brown hair covered his head and was cut short, but there was a good amount of volume to it. He had an old red and white hat on his head that had a pokeball on it as well as light blue jeans, a black short sleeved shirt with a red jacket tied around his waist, and a set of boots on his feet. He grinned at me and the glow in his chocolate eyes was unmistakable: Vincent Vilmos, older twin brother of Violet.

"I have to agree with him, for once." Another of the older men next to Vincent said. The spiky ginger/bronze hair upon his head was vibrant in its strange color. The male's body was covered in a set of fitting black jeans and a green shirt while a brown jacket was wrapped around his waist like that of his companion. His hazel eyes were also unmistakable. He was Alexander Oak, Violet's boyfriend.

"That's shocking, Alex. you're not one to normally say that." Another male caught my attention, this one being a few years younger than Alexander and Vincent. His vibrant red hair was long and came down to his shoulders while dark onyx eyes glanced out through his locks of hair. Dark indigo jeans hugged his legs while a black wife beater was on his chest. A set of dark boots covered his feet and he carried a black, leather jacket under his arm. Gwyn was with him and holding his hand tightly. It was easy to tell it was Tristan Vilmos, Violet's adopted younger brother and Gwyn's boyfriend.

"Who cares about that? This girl is a total badass! I wish I'd met her back when I was a beginning trainer; I'd loved to have battled her. Win or lose!" The last of the males cheered to himself and I watched him grin wildly. A darker yellow sleeveless shirt was on his body while he held onto a dark red jacket under his arms. He wore a set of ripped jean shorts and a set of black sneakers was on his feet. A black and yellow hat was on his head. That was Aaron Verin, Gwyn's childhood best friend.

"Can we play with her, finally, Violet?" A girl from atop of Aaron's shoulders asked the Kanto champion. "Bebi and Mr. Mewtwo and I have been waiting for a while." The little girl had a beautiful complexion of almost truly white skin and ice blond hair, which made her green eyes stand out among them. In the girl's bright hair were neon green highlights along the edges of her hair. She herself wore a bright yellow strapped shirt with white polkadots and white shorts along with a set of yellow and white shoes. She truly looked like a little angel, and she was the youngest of Violet's protégés, Levy Marveille

"Not now Levy, I'm sorry, but these kids have a hell of a lot of work to do." Violet shook her head at the younger girl who pouted at her. She then turned back to us. "I'm sorry it took me so long to introduce you to everyone, but I believe formal introductions are in order now, especially after what's happened." She moved in between the two sets of groups of ours and started to point to the males. "I'll start with my group first, and while I bet you know them, I'll introduce them anyway to be fair and polite."

"Wow, I'm shocked." Gwyn giggled at her comment and ducked as Violet threw a small rock that was nearby at her.

"Anyway, let's start off with the eldest." She pointed to Alexander. "This is my boyfriend, Alexander Oak, but call him Alex, he hates Alexander."

Alex wrapped his arm around her and kissed her cheek before glancing back at us and shrugged. "What she said."

"Next us my brother, Vincent Vilmos." She pointed at Vincent. "But for the same reasons as Alex, just call him Vince."

Vince sighed. "I really do hate my real name, it sounds so ancient…"

"Next I have my other brother, Tristan Vilmos." She pointed next to Tristan. "He has no nickname, so please don't call him anything else without his permission."

Tristan simply nodded to us and took a stronger hold of Gwyn.

"Now I know you girls know her, but just in case for the boys, the girl in Tristan's arms is Gwyn Jalen, champion of Johto."

Gwyn grinned at us while Casey's jaw dropped. It took me a whole couple seconds for me to realize that he'd never been with me when I met up with Gwyn, so he was the only one out of the loop.

"And on her other side, the last male is Aaron Verin, along with the girl on his shoulders, Levy Marveille, another protégé of mine."

The last two waved and laughed between each other before Aaron let her down to the ground and started tickling her. Violet shook her head at the two of them and turned back to the rest of us.

"And while you all may know this, I'm Violet Vilmos, champion of the Kanto region." She did a light bow for us in the arms of her boyfriend. "And now the four of you should introduce yourselves to us. We don't know all of you."

"U-us?" Mattie managed to stutter out as he looked to me, Casey and Aria nervously.

"It's all right Mattie; just introduce yourself to them. That's all they want." I patted the boy's shoulder as he nervously looked up at the group of people before us.

"I'll go first then!" Aria leapt forward before us and grinned at the others before us. "I'm Aria Charolette!" She almost jabbed herself with her thumb as she pointed to herself. "This girl is gonna be the best reporter one day!"

"And I'm Casey Birch, son of the esteemed Richard Birch." Casey smiled at them. "I hope to be just as knowledgeable as he is one day and become a researcher myself."

"U-um… I-I-I-I'm M-matti-ie…" Mattie barely got out his name before he seemed to get really nervous.

"Mattie," I touched the boy's shoulder and he whipped his head around to look at me. "Calm down. They just want to get to know you, that's all."

He slowly nodded to me before he looked back at the large group before us. "I-I'm Matthew Ashling… but you can c-call me M-mattie… I want… I-I want to become a-a strong t-trainer… and c-challenge the P-pokemon League…"

"And I'm Jezebel Emery-Twain." I glanced over at the other set of older trainers (with the exception of Levy). "I want to become the champion of the Hoenn Pokѐmon League."

"Good. Now that we have that out of the way, there are some serious things we need to talk about." Violet kissed her boyfriend's cheek before she made her way across the field to where I was and joined up next to me. "Let's go get some food into all of us and we'll talk, because I'm sure there are a couple things you want to ask me."

Lunch was something that we all needed to calm down, even if Mattie was the only one of us that was freaking out. He honestly almost flipped out over his own shadow at one point, which made me glad that Violet suggested that we break for lunch.

I was starved.

I had already moved out of the hospital where I'd been kept for the last few days and we were over at a restaurant apparently all the way over in Fallarbor Town. We were brought back there while a cleanup crew took care of all the action that took place on the volcano a week ago. Violet's team of pokemon and members of the IPHP League had been looking after the four of us and our pokemon as we recovered and were helping the others and my own pokemon train while I was out. I was excited to see what they had learned while I was gone.

Right now we were talking over more training options for myself and my friends. Violet seemed to think that some seclusion for a month to sharpen our skills would be good, but I was having a hard time accepting it due to the possible Team Aqua and Team Magma activity that could go on while we were gone.

"I'm telling you, Jezebel, the region will have us while you guys train. We won't let anything happen on our watch." Violet was once again trying to convince me of what she was planning. "Every one of us will be taking a section of the region that we'll be guarding while you guys go train in Meteor Falls. We'll be also assisting companies in those areas to make sure all is covered. We'll also keep looking for bases for them in our free time."

"Violet, I know you're trying to help me out, but-"

"You want to be the one that takes them down. I know." She gave me a smile. "You got some sort of personal grudge with them and I'm not about to get in the way of that. That's why I suggested you take off for a bit and train to get stronger so you can take them down in the future when you face them again. We're just gonna keep Hoenn in line for you while you're gone."

"How long would you suggest for us to stay there, Violet?" Casey questioned her.

"About a month I would suggest." She took a sip of the drink she had in her hands, reminding me much of root beer from the smell I could breathe in from across the table. "Christmas is still a bit of a ways away, but with about a month of training, it would leave you guys to get out of there just a few days to a week past the beginning of December. I would suggest then that all of you take your fourth gym battle and then head back home for the holidays or battle Norman and then do so. You all live relatively close to the area, so it wouldn't be hard. Instead of taking the long path back to Slateport and taking a boat back to Petalburg, you can take a short cut through the mountains here and end up right outside of Rustboro." She shrugged as she leaned against Alex's side. "It's your choice though, but I think the training would be helpful, and then to get away from everything for a while would help clear your heads."

"I don't know…" I sighed. Just thinking about Christmas made me dread the fact that I'd have to go home and spend it with my family that's all involved in criminal organizations or is hell bent on keeping me locked up for life. I didn't know which was worse. I turned to my friends. "What do you guys think?"

"I think we should do it." Aria was quick to answer like always and bit the bullet before I could. "I want to train more and get stronger so I'll be able to take down that gym leader and help out more when we battle Team Aqua and Team Magma again." Aria looked down. "I mostly have grass and steel types on my team, I'm going to be at a huge disadvantage at the next gym. It's a fire one…"

"I think all of us could use the training, and you could use the solitude to help yourself out, Jez." Casey was the next to speak up. "It would do us all good in our opinion, and the region is in safe hands with two champions and the IPHP League."

"I-I'm sorry J-jezebel… but I-I have to a-agree with Aria a-and Casey…" Mattie shocked us all by voting with them as well. "I-I want to b-become stronger, a-and some training would d-do us all g-good…"

I sighed. "I guess I'm out voted on this one." I cracked the side of my neck and felt the adrenaline start to pump in my veins. I grabbed my drink and chugged it. "After lunch, we'll head out and get stocked to leave right after."

"Whoa whoa! What's the rush Jez?" Casey spat out his drink in surprise and quickly questioned me.

I could only smirk at him and the others while I leaned my head against my hand. "Because if we're gonna train for a solid month, I'm gonna make the three of you work every second of it. We're not wasting that much time if you want to get stronger."

Violet only smiled at us and patted my hand on the table. "Good luck."

Once lunch was done that day, the four of us quickly set out and we began out month long training inside the mountain of Meteor Falls. Our training was crazy; we worked at all hours of the day except for our small breaks and meal times. By using the clocks on our pokenavs, we would be on the schedule of working from eight in the morning to ten at night. We worked for roughly twelve hours in the day, each of us facing the wild pokemon in the area or each other. We tried to use as many different moves as we could to startle our opponents and help in the favor of our victory.

All of us would be worn and tired by the end of the day. Mattie would be the first one normally to clock out. With his disabilities, we didn't want to push him too far beyond his limit and hurt him where he wouldn't be able to battle. He would take longer breaks the rest of us, but Mattie put up an incredible fight with his pokemon. Luna has still never lost to any of us, and to my shock and horror, that damn feline evolved with the help of a moon stone in the mountain. She became a Delcatty, and now purple decorated around the top of her head and covered her long ears. Her face was still tan, as well as her body, you could see the color of her eyes now, which were an onyx color and she had a decorative purple collar around her neck, one that had fluffy looking purple balls hanging off of it. Her tail had shrunken a bit in size, it was now a small fluffy tuff of purple fur, but don't underestimate it. That tail swings harder than the old one did. That damn feline is still such a pain…

Delcatty, the prim pokemon and the evolved form of skitty with a moon stone. The favorite of trend-conscious female trainers, they are used in competition due to their style and fur. Rather than keeping a permanent lair, it habitually seeks comfortable spots and sleeps there. It is nocturnal and becomes active at dusk. There are no known delcatty nests in the region.

Guardian also evolved, and Blade seemed to take a liking to this new form she had. She looked like an elegant woman with short green hair that curved around her face and bright red eyes out of which she glanced. A red piece of smoothed material was sticking out of her chest and it looked like she was wearing a white dress around her.

Gardevoir, the embrace pokemon and the evolved form of kirlia. It apparently does not feel the pull of gravity because it supports itself with psychic power. It will give its life to protect its trainer. It has the power to predict the future. Its power peaks when it is protecting its trainer. There are no known gardevoir nests in the region.

Another pokemon that had to evolve were two of Casey's and three of Aria's. Casey's first pokemon was his marshtomp, which evolved into a powerful water and ground type that Blaze has had extreme difficulty with. It tripled in size and was now way over our heads and had a dark blue body with a lighter blue underbelly. A large midnight blue tail was attached and two thick fins sticking out of the top of its head were of the same color. Its body was large while its arms were long and almost lanky looking compared to its body and legs. Its head was wide and he had large orange eyes and huge jaws with the orange skin sticking out of its body on its cheeks and some small patches on its arm that were thicker and flat.

Swampert, the mudfish pokemon and the evolved form of marshtomp. If it senses the approach of a storm and a tidal wave, it protects its seaside nest by piling up boulders. It swims as fast as a jet ski. Its arms are rock-hard. With one swing, they can batter down its foe. It makes its nest on beautiful beaches. There are no known swampert nests in the area.

His other pokemon that evolved was his lombre. Once it was in its final evolution (all thanks to finding a water stone in the mountain) it became much larger in size and the coloring of its tan and light brown hair on its body reminded me of a zig-zag pattern on a maraca. It almost looked like the lily pad on top of its head looked like a sombrero and its mouth was huge. It was always laughing and running around with its mouth open and singing or laughing. Its arms and legs were stubby-like, but usable. It had fingers, but seemed to work easier with just the thumb and keeping the fingers together.

Ludicolo, the carefree pokemon and the evolved form of lombre with a water stone. When it hears festive music, all the cells in its body become stimulated, and it begins moving in rhythm. It does not quail when it faces a tough opponent. When its cells are active, it becomes more powerful. There are no known ludicolo in the region.

Then there was Aria's team. She trained them non-stop to get them all to evolve and get stronger. The first of them was her grovyle, it had evolved into a large green Pokemon. Its arms were narrow, but lanky and long with claws on the end of them and two sharp looking leaves that stuck out almost a foot off its wrist. It had thick, powerful legs for high jumping and a thick, leaf filled tail growing out of its lower back. On its upper back was a set of yellow looking balls and there was a red stripe that went across its lower frontal abdomen and on its jawline. Its eyes were yellow and its mouth looked like it could swallow twenty large berries at once.

Sceptile, the forest pokemon and the evolved form of grovyle. In the jungle, its power is without equal. This pokemon carefully grows trees and plants. It regulates its body temperature by basking in sunlight. The leaves on its forelegs are as sharp as swords. Its agilely leap about the branches of trees to strike. There are no known sceptile nests in the region.

The second of Aria's pokemon to evolve was her shy little whismur. After its evolution, its personality changed entirely and it got active and loud. With the speakers it now had for ears, over its large purple body and massive mouth that was nearly as big as its body, it would wake us up early every morning for training. It also threw a good punch with its thickly muscled arms and legs.

Loudred, the big voice pokemon and the evolved form of whismur. It positions the round speakers on its head to assail foes with ultrasonic waves at massive volume. It builds power by stomping the ground. When it stamps its feet and bellows, it generates ultrasonic waves that can blow a house apart. There are extremely few places to find loudred. They tend to make their nests in the desert underpass or the Victory Road of this region.

The last of Aria's pokemon to evolve was her aron. It was large enough now in size to where she could ride it. It came up to almost her chest in height and its armor become much thicker as its body also became longer. It was a good five to six feet long with visible smoothed out spikes on its back and a thickly armored head, blocky legs and a heavy-looking tail. Bright blue eyes looked back at us.

Lairon, the iron armor pokemon and the evolved form of aron. When two lairon meet in the wild, the fight for territory by bashing into each other with their steel bodies. As a result, the pokemon often clashes with humans mining iron ore. It habitually shows off its strength with the size of the sparks it creates by ramming its steel body into boulders. This pokemon is uncommon and tends to live only in the victory road.

To top it all off for the woman, she managed to catch herself a new pokemon. It was a bagon, a small dragon type pokemon that was no more than a foot tall and grayish blue in color with a grey bone like material protecting its head. Its eyes were small, but black, and it could walk on two legs. Its jaws were massive for the size of its body and it had sharp teeth that it used to bite down on rocks for cleaning. I think Casey nearly shit himself when he saw the chunks that pokemon pulled out of rocks…

Bagon, the rock head pokemon. Its steel-hard head can shatter boulders. It longingly hopes for wings to grow so it can fly. Although it is small, this pokemon is very powerful because its body is a bundle of muscles. Bagon nests are highly uncommon and tend to only be found in the depths of Meteor Falls.

Christmas was now only about three weeks away. We had that much time to be able to make it out of there and battle Flannery over at the Lavaridge gym before going back for the holidays. I could battle my Dad any time I wanted, since I'll be heading back with him, and it made sense to get it out of the way, plus, I always wanted to have a battle with him.

We stopped over at the pokemon center for a good breakfast before we plowed right back through the last three routes and Mt. Chimney before we went down the mountain on the lift to get to Lavaridge. Like I had remembered the town, it was in the meeting of a forest and a mountain, we had hot springs all around, and relaxing in one once we got done had especially come to mind to help loosen and relax some muscles.

It was the first place I was stopping when I got done with my gym battle.

Lunch was the first agenda after we got into the town. We ate entirely to our heart's content, but then it came down to who would battle the gym leader first. Aria and Casey quickly broke out into a fight over which one of them would and I couldn't help but silently laugh. I quickly returned all my pokemon and tapped on Mattie's shoulder. I motioned for him to follow me while the other two fought and we slipped out of the door without them knowing and rushed over to the gym the second we got outside. I don't even think they noticed a thing…

The next thing we knew, Mattie and I were over at the gym. I could see the steam coming out of the front door from it; it had to be a warm place in there. Regardless of that, I already knew which Pokémon I'd be using in battle against the fire type gym leader. It was an easy choice to make. Acey was a ground type. She had an advantage over fire types. Not to mention she also has the dragon type on her, which made her extremely powerful and durable. Mattie told me he'd probably be using Luna, and if he needed to, Guardian after her. He wanted to avoid using Kaida since she was still a bit young yet and Roza because she was a grass type, clearly unfit to fight here.

I walked inside the gym and stepped onto a field that had hot water flowing down over the walls on all sides, which must have been what the steam was coming from. The rocks beneath our feet also felt warm, I could just barely feel it through my shoes. I placed my hand down on the rock and noticed how warm it was, pretty warm, but not enough to burn.

"Hello, dear trainers, welcome to… ugg! I got it wrong again!" I blinked my eyes and looked up and across the field. A young female of late teens was standing there, probably about the same age as Violet and the others. She was dress in long vibrant light blue jeans and a black short sleeved shirt that showed off her lower chest area. I saw the female cursing at herself and stomped on her foot.

"Um… are you Flannery?" The girl looked up at us before she groaned and fell to the floor.

"Yeah… but my intro to you guys coming in was supposed to be cooler than that…" She sighed and looked over at her feet with a pout. "My grandfather was cool like that…"

"So you're essentially trying to act like your grandfather?" I raised my eyebrow at the woman before I sighed. "Why?"

"Because… gym leaders are supposed to act cool…" She hesitated as she told me her answer to that question.

I shook my head. "Really?" I groaned and hit my head with my hand. "Look, listen up." The girl raised her head to look at me. I pointed at my chest with a thumb that felt like it jabbed me. "I'm Jezebel Emery-Twain. I hereby challenge you to a gym match for my fourth gym badge." I paused for a moment to let it sink in. "Not everyone is 'amazing' at intros, and why does that even matter? When I met up with Roxanne to have my first gym battle, she was reading a fricken book! Didn't even notice I was there until she heard my pokedex going off when I was looking up information on her pokemon!"

I heavily breathed for a moment after I got that small bit of frustration out and sighed before I looked at her again. Her eyes were wide as she looked at me in awe.

"Wow… you're amazing…" She grinned. "So cool… wait, did you say your name was Emery-Twain? Like Norman's daughter?"

"Yep." I sighed and lowered my head. "So… are you gonna be yourself so I can have a battle? Cuz if you need some time to collect yourself or something... I guess we can come back la-"

"No, I'm okay." She cut me off and stood back up and took a stand in her trainer box. "I'm sorry for the way I acted and how you had to deal with me, so let's have a good battle. My name is Flannery and I'm the gym leader here in Lavaridge Town." She rubbed the back of her head somewhat nervously. "I may be new to this gym leader position, but that doesn't mean I'm just going to hand over my badge! It's a three on three match. You ready?"

"Extremely." I pulled out my first (and hopefully only) pokeball. "Let's go, Acey!"

She emerged from her pokeball with a little glimmer to go around from her shiny form. Flannery gasped at her before pulling out her own pokemon.

"Looks like you came prepared for my fire types!" She laughed; it was good to see her finally relaxed so we could have a proper battle. I would have never faced her if she was in the state she was in before I helped her fix her thoughts. She pulled out a pokeball of her own and threw it out. "Let's go, slugma!"

The lava slug pokemon quickly appeared. It gave off a goofy grin at us before it spat out a patch of molten lava from its belly that landed before Acey. She didn't flinch as the lava landed a foot from her and melted the ground easily, creating an uneven hole before us.

"Now don't get too impatient, Slugma," Flannery shook her head. "Sorry about him. He gets to be a little out of control at times."

I brushed it off with a wave of my hand. "Don't worry about it; now do I get first move or do you?"

"Oh, right!" She rubbed the back of her head nervously. "First move to the challenger."

"Works for me." Acey glanced back at me and I grinned. "Acey, start out with dig."

"Vib!" Acey quickly dug at the surface of the ground and was submerged in dirt in seconds before he disappeared. Flannery looked taken aback. She must have very recently become the gym leader to not know how to deal with types that had an advantage over hers.

"Uh… uh. Slugma! Hurry toward the hole!" I blinked in surprise as she ordered her slugma to advance toward the hole in the ground where Acey had first vanished. It caused me to unconsciously raise an eyebrow, but I shrugged it off and turned back to the field where Acey was.

"Get 'em!" Acey shot up like a rocket out of the ground and slammed into the slugma head on. "Now down!" As soon as the slugma's body no longer was in contact with Acey's, she dived once again for the ground and made another hole. I saw Flannery hissing at the annoyingness of my pokemon and I laughed at her. "Having any problems?"

She didn't say a word while she looked out of the field. I could only snicker as her frustrations slightly began to take over. She looked so enraged as she watched her slugma still trying to make its way to the first hole Acey had made, but why bother now? Acey was in another hole.

"Slugma! Stop!" The lava slug pokemon stopped and I had to blink at the gym leader.

What was she up to?

"Use overheat!" The entire body of the slugma's became encased in a glowing red light and I could feel the heat of its attack from across the field. My eyes widened as I saw it was more powerful than I thought. My playing around her pokemon was over as I looked out for any sign of Acey, there was none. The attack exploded off the slugma and fire and lava dispersed to all holes on the field. I gasped.

"Acey!" I cried out and hoped my words reached her. "Emerge!"

"Vib!" She suddenly appeared just by my side and I jumped backwards while she dived away from her hole before fire shot out of it and hit the ceiling above. Four geysers of fire and lava were shooting up and all around the gym, burning holes in the building and giving the already hot gym a red glow to go with the mist that hung in the air from the hot springs water that flowed over the walls.

"Not quite what you were expecting, right Jezebel?" I hissed as I looked back to Flannery, she grinned at my small misery over what just took place.

I snorted. "That doesn't mean that I can't get back at you!" I pursed my lips. "Now Acey, use dragon breath!" Acey's attack flew right down the line and hit the slugma in the face. It cried out and was thrown back for the force of the attack before it fell and crashed into one of the walls of hot water. Flannery gasped and rushed over to her pokemon that she saw scream when its body hit the water and lava mixture. Flannery quickly pulled out her pokeball and it sucked her pokemon back inside while she seemed to be having a mini heart attack of her own on the other side of the field.

"Sorry!" I called out to her. "Is your slugma okay?"

"I think so." She released it back out before her, away from the water, and petted its head. "But he's out, I'm not sure if it was the water or your attack that finished him off." She returned the pokemon back into its pokeball before pulling out another. "But regardless of which did, it's a point in your favor, so here comes my next Pokemon. Go Camerupt!"

Her second pokemon came and it was the same large one that my aunt had on her when I battled her at the top of Mt. Chimney. It burned my insides to see that pokemon, just because of how much it reminded me of her- how she's betrayed my family, just like my uncles and cousins and her sister. But I had to hold it in. All my rage shouldn't be held toward this specific species of Pokemon. It was unfair and unjust. This was an innocent pokemon that had nothing to do with my family problems. Just a gym leader's pokemon trying to keep me from getting their badge…

Speaking of which, I had to get my mind back on track. I looked back over at the other side of the field and my eyes met Flannery's. She noticed the anger in my eyes, but made no move against it while I sighed and closed my eyes for a moment. I opened them then again when I heard the buzzing of Acey's wings, ready and raring to go.

"Hit it head on Acey! Use sandstorm to confuse it and then dig!"

Third Person Point of View:

On the other side of the town, far away from Jezebel's battle in the Lavaridge gym with Flannery, Casey Birch and Aria Charolette were still arguing over who would be the first to battle the gym leader, not even noticing when their pokemon had popped out of their pokeballs and tried to let them know. But nothing they tried worked; even when hitting them, the two trainers just yelled back for them to stay out of it and they'd have their argument finished soon.

That was almost half an hour to an hour ago.

The only thing that the two of them had agreed on was that Jezebel was to go first, and after that it was whoever was to win this argument. Mattie was not saying anything, so they assumed that he would just wait to go last. The two were ready to throw punches if it wasn't for their pokemon holding them back every time they tried.

"I seriously have no idea why I even bother to travel with you! You're such a pain in the ass! You know that Birch?" Aria yelled out over him and glared with a vein seeming to pop on her forehead.

"Like your one to talk Miss Bitchy!" Casey snapped right back at her. "And how is this helping in your argument to go after Jezebel? You have no reasons to back up why you should! I should because I was her first friend!"

Aria's jaw dropped and a purple haze clouded her figure as the vein on her head was growing ever closer to rupturing. "You're seriously bringing that into this? How does that even amount to anything? I've spent more time with her than you have!"

"But I knew her first! I trained with her and taught her the ropes of battling." Casey smirked. "She knows all she does and was able to expand on it because of me!"

"Hardly!" Aria huffed and turned away from him, swinging on her heels. "Jezebel would have figured it out eventually. She is the daughter of a gym leader you know. She's not about to fail to some halfwit like yourself." She grinned and showed him an evil glint that was in her eyes that matched the grin she wore. "I bet that's why you've never been able to beat her, because you're a halfwit."

"Oh really? And what's your excuse for not battling her huh? Both Mattie and I have both battled her in the past, but why haven't you yet? You scared you're going to lose to her, but you know you can win against us and gym leaders and other trainers?" Casey snorted and crossed his arms. "Who's the halfwit now?"

Aria suddenly growled at him and the vein on her head finally reached its critical point. It snapped from the amount of pressure running through it and Casey was left to fend off from a pissed off Aria that stood before him. Her fists were shaking in rage before her legs bent themselves and she took off into the air and leapt at Casey. He held up his arms in defense as her body came slamming down on his and she started to claw at him with her nails and pound his head with her fists. The entire time she sounded no longer like a human, but an untamed wild pokemon that had been caged and beaten, then released on her master to devour him.

Casey suddenly got a leg in between the two of them and kicked her off of him before jumping to his feet and be ready for the next attack. Aria hit the back wall and pushed herself off of it before racing at Casey with a fist at the ready to hit him.

"Wait!" Casey had suddenly noticed something was off at the last second and call it out as Aria had shot herself at him with her fist only halting a few millimeters from his face. "Where's Jez and Mattie?"

The sudden question surprised Aria, and normally she wouldn't let such a question bother her and she'd finish pummeling him. But this was a question about Jez, and she wasn't there…

"What?" The girl screeched and pulled back her fist as she looked around for her best female friend, but was unable to find her. The small green haired boy that she also had a great concern for was also not there. The two seemingly vanished. "Where are they?"

"Sceptile." She whipped her head around to look at her grass type calmly throw out the answer she was looking for, but not in a tone or manner that she would have liked. Even Aria couldn't cure all the bad behaviors of her pokemon. She ignored his behavior and returned all of her pokemon before rushing out the door and hurrying off to the gym. A shouting Casey was quickly rushing behind her with his own three pokeballs in hand.

Jezebel's Point of View:

The camerupt swayed on its feet as it took another hit from my pokemon. We'd come up with a simple strategy to knock it out without it hurting us. With the combination of sandstorm and dig, it was like we were hiding in plain sight. Or it felt like it, I guess. I didn't care though, so long as I was winning the battle and getting stronger, and I feel like Flannery was making me. She was an incredible battler. Her power was amazing, but she was lacking in fire types that had speed, and that's where I made my debut. Acey was all about speed and accuracy when it came to her opponents. She was quick as a trapinch; she was even faster as a vibrava.

"Take it out! Crunch!" Acey slipped forward through the thick sandstorm that covered the field and through the dust I heard the camerupt cry out in pain before I heard a body slam onto the ground. Acey then appeared back at my side and let her wings settled next to her body while the sands settled down in the air. Flannery was shocked as she watched her second pokemon fall to the ground and mine seemed to be still somewhat fine.

I had to admit that the camerupt had sent out quite a few fire attacks, all of which missed, but I had to give the girl points; from the fire, she heated up the sand around Acey that she used in the sandstorm, and she used it to have burning hot sands hit Acey's flesh. Now normally this wouldn't bother her- she was raised in the hot, humid desert after all- but that sand was even hotter than normal. The fire almost took it to extreme levels which started to burn parts of Acey's skin. I was lucky she was a dragon and ground type or else that might have really hurt her.

Flannery was now down to her last pokemon, and while I bet she wasn't liking the fact that she was most likely going to lose to me, she seemed to be having fun. She wore a wide grin on her face even as she had been pushed into a corner and a hard spot by me and my pokemon.

"Wow, you are a really good trainer like Wattson said you'd be!" Flannery grinned as she pulled out a third pokeball after returning her camerupt. "But now it's time for the final battle! Let's go Torkoal!"

I blinked at the strange new pokemon that came out of the pokeball. It was on four legs and was colored a rust orange red and had a long neck that led to an oval head. Its eyes looked to stay closed for the most part and on its back was a hard shell that reminded me of live coals. It was almost black in color, being a very dark grey, and had patches where it looked like the coals were live. I pulled out my pokedex because this looked like a tough one to beat.

Torkoal, the coal pokemon. It battles using energy it gets from burning coal. When loosing smoke from its nostrils, it lets off a sound that is similar to a locomotive's horn. It burns coal inside its shell. If it is attacked, it belches thick, black smoke and flees. Torkoal nests are uncommon in this region and tend to be found only on the Fiery Path inside the lower levels of Mt. Chimney.

Black smoke… this could turn out ugly for me very quickly if I'm not careful.

"Let's go then Torkoal! Start out with smokescreen!" I was caught off guard while I was in my thoughts and she called out her attack. The battlefield was quickly covered in a thick black smoke and I desperately looked around for Acey and noticed she thankfully was by a hole, because I had a sinking feeling I knew the combination that Flannery was going to use, a favorite move of Champion Gwyn Jalen herself…

"Now use fire spin!" Torkoal's fire caught the burnable smoke in the air and suddenly ignited before exploding.

"Acey! Dive!" She barely had enough time to escape to her tunnel before the explosion came to her above. I had to dive myself from the attack so it wouldn't hit me.

"Oh no! Are you all right Jezebel?" Flannery called to my side of the field and I slowly got up with no feelings of pain.

"I'm fine!" I turned my head around to Mattie, who was missing from where he stood behind me in the corner. "Mattie? Are you okay?"

I heard coughing as he sat up from behind a piece of stray black smoke before him. He quickly sat up and nodded his head to me. I questioned him with a bit of a longer gaze, but he waved me off.

"I-I'm okay Jezebel… get b-back to y-your battle…" A sigh lightly escaped my lips, but I nodded to him and turned back to my battle.

"Let's continue, Flannery!" I glanced over at the hole. "Let's go, Acey!" She quickly emerged from the hole and flew her way out before me. Flannery seemed shocked that there was no damage on my pokemon and I used that to my advantage like she did to me only a short while ago.

"Now Acey! Sandstorm!" The entire room suddenly was filled with the sound of Acey's wings buzzing as she kicked up the dirt and sent it flying to reduce the visibility.

I barely heard Flannery cry out on the other side of the field as she could no longer see, or most likely not see. her pokemon. "Torkoal!"

"Not this time!" I threw my arm forward, pointing at the storm. "Now Acey! Dragon breath!" Through the heavy dirt and dust that was thrown in the air, Acey let loose an attack that was easily caught up in the winds. Using the same tactic that Flannery had used before with her fire, the attack was taken up by the sandstorm and absorbed it before firing it back at the opponent. The dragon breath entirely took over the storm and crafted it to be a vortex of black, red and purple. I could hear the cries of the opposing pokemon as the vortex spun around it and the sand that was infused with the attack brushed along the surface of its skin every second.

I suddenly heard a crash in the middle of the vortex and told Acey then to stop her attack. The dragon power infused sandstorm disintegrated and vanished before we were left with a torkoal that was left upon the ground, its eyes in swirls.

"Yes!" I pumped my fist and ran out to Acey. "We won!"

"Vib!" She jumped into the air and swirled around me on her wings before she landed herself at my chest and knocked me over from the force of the impact. "Whoa!"

"Jezebel!" Mattie was quick to run out to me and help me up. "Y-you and Acey w-were amazing!" I couldn't help but grin madly at the boy in my excitement and jumped into his arms, throwing my own around his neck.

"I know! I feel like I've gotten even stronger now!" I pulled back to see the boy blushing like mad. His entire face was beet red and, against his vibrant green hair, I couldn't help but laugh at the contrast.

"Wow… that was an incredible battle!" Flannery returned her pokemon and walked to me on the other side of the gym. "I can't believe I had such an overwhelming battle with you. It shows me that I have so much more to learn not only as a gym leader, but as a person as well." She winked at Mattie and me. "And I plan to go into some heavy training once I battle your cutie of a friend, since I'm assuming he wants battle too."

"Y-yes ma'am!" Mattie flushed even redder, almost turning purple. I held onto him to make sure he didn't fall.

"Don't faint on me Mattie, you still have your own match to win!" I couldn't help but laugh and it seemed to make the redness in his face only get worse.

"She's right, but first," Flannery pulled out a gym badge from her pokemon. It was mostly red in color, looking like a wisp of fire that was attached to a yellow round center. "Here's your fourth gym badge for you Jezebel, the heat badge."

I took the metal piece into my hands and grinned at it before I pulled out my case and added it with the others. "Yes! Halfway there!"

"And now… I need to g-get my gym badge." Mattie was starting to shift into that determined trainer and I calmed myself enough to smile at him.

"Right. Good luck Mattie. I'll cheer for you from the side lines-"

"FINALLY! WE DAMN WELL FUCKING FOUND YOU!" I turned my head around to see Aria and Casey practically bash their way through Flannery's front door. The two of them looked pissed, but more at each other (like always) then us.

"It wouldn't have taken us so long if you'd spend your time doing something other than arguing with me!" Casey snapped at the female that had stormed in with him.

"Like you're one to talk? Who kept me going for almost half an hour?"

"That's just because you have a big mouth and can't shut it!"

I sighed and turned back to Flannery. "You may want to go heal up your pokemon and get ready for your match with Mattie, and then those two after you." I sighed and patted Mattie on the back. "Do your best to tune them out."
