Eevy and Ash couldn't sleep. They were both starting out their Pokemon Journeys the next day and they were too restless to sleep. Eevy was just sitting in the chair that she had parked behind Ash. Ash was hooked on the Rainbow League site again. Eevy was worrying about her brother, Morty, since he was on his way back to Rose Town which meant he had to cross the Gladiola River.
"You sure are getting prepared," Eevy said.
"I always want to know everything about my opponents that I can!" Ash said loudly.
"Keep your voice down! No one else it up!"
"Sorry..."
"If you want my advice, I'd suggest you keep away from Rose Town Gym until you are really ready and heavily armed with Fire- type Pokemon."
"Why is that?"
"Taylor, the Gym Leader, uses Steel- type Pokemon like Steelix. I'd advise you to keep Misty out of the Gym too."
"What? Why?"
"You'll understand when you're older."
"Huh?"
"Forget it."
"Whatever."
"How long have you been here on Gertan Rin?"
"About a week. We had some trouble getting here from Johto."
"Yeah, everyone says that. The seas around this place are really rough."
"What about you, Eevy? How long have you been here?"
"I've been here in Nanka all my life. All 21 and 98% years of it."
"Wow. What's it like here?"
"Just like Johto. Only a lot bigger, and a lot tougher. The trainers here get a lot more serious than anyone from Johto or Kanto would ever think of getting. Especially people like Taylor and Peter."
"Peter was...The old Pokemon League champ until last year, right?"
"Amazing! Your brain kicked in."
"You're just like Misty."
She gave him an odd look, "He doesn't know?" she thought to herself.
"What?" he asked when he saw her staring at him.
"Nothing. Nothing at all," she answered, "I'm going to attempt to sleep. You should too. You and I have a big day tomorrow."
*^~^**^~^*
Eevy and Ash were standing in a line of about five other trainers. Yuu-Yuu had decided to join in as well. Misty and Brock watched as everyone who didn't have one was handed a Poke Dex and a few other items. Each was told to let out their primary Pokemon. Eevy and Ash didn't need to bother. Vovo and Pikachu were already out and perched on their shoulders. Yuu-Yuu let out Pichu and the other trainers let out a Totodile, a Cyndaquil and a Chikorita. The other three trainers were fighting with their Pokemon to sit still. Yuu-Yuu, Eevy, and Ash all stood completely still with their Pokemon. Pro. Elm marveled at the sight of this. After everyone had their Pokemon settled in, Pro. Palm began to explain Gertan Rin and the Rainbow League. After he had finished, he handed out maps. He then pointed each trainer towards a different Gym and sent them on their way.
"Why do we all have to go to a different Gym?" Eevy asked.
"Each Gym gets a limited number of challenges a day because of the overwhelming number of trainers," Pro. Palm answered, "It cuts down on the number of people in the League ever so slightly."
"Well then," Eevy said, "I guess this means good bye for now, Ash."
"Yeah, I guess so," Misty said, "We'll meet again, I know it."
"Maybe at the Rainbow League," Ash said.
"Yeah!" Yuu-Yuu burst, "Maybe you'll battle!"
"That would be kind of cool," Brock said.
"Well, bye Eevy! It was great meeting you! You too, Yuu-Yuu! Bye!" the group called back as they went on their way.
"I'm supposed to go to the Gym here in town," Eevy said, "Let's go Yuu-Yuu!"
The duo started on their way, but were stopped by a video camera in the face.
"We're here LIVE with one of the newest trainers to set out for the Rainbow League! We'll be following her to the Lily City Gym today, and possibly, just possibly, to the Rainbow League competition in a few months!" the announcer blared, "Hello ladies! You're on PKMN TV! Do you mind if we follow you to Lily City Gym?"
"Ask her, not me," Yuu-Yuu said as she stepped out of the way.
"Why not?" Eevy said.
"Ok, first off. Please tell our viewers your name and home town!"
"I'm Eevy from Rose Town."
"Very good to meet you Eevy!" everyone blared.
"Now, what was your beginning Pokemon, Eevy?"
"It was an Eevee named Vovo."
"May we see him?"
"Sure!" Eevy said releasing Vovo from his Poke Ball.
"What a lovely Pokemon! Do you have any others?"
"I have one of each of Eevee's evolutions."
"Ok! That's superb! We won't keep you any longer! Let's get to that Gym! Onward, team!" the announcer shouted as the group picked up and bolted toward the Gym.
*^~^**^~^*
"My life..Is boring..."
"How can you say that?"
"Easy, I open my mouth and say it, Luri."
"Why not get up and do something, Lance?"
"I don't want to, Will."
The Elite 4 sat in their house upon Rainbow Bluff in Rainbow Metropolis. Lance had been like this for over a month and Luri, Will and Jason were all getting fed up.
"You could always train some," Jason shouted in from the next room.
"Why bother? No one has been able to beat Luri, how could they get through you three goons to get to me?" Lance huffed back as he continued to watch the ceiling fan spin around.
"You are pathetic," Will said, "At least watch TV. You haven't moved from that couch since this morning."
"Fine! You want me up! I'm up!" Lance shouted as he stood up.
Will, Jason and Luri were a bit surprised at that. He almost didn't do anything for the past month except stare at the ceiling fan. Plus, he was taller and older than them. Not as much older, but a lot taller. He towered over Jason especially, seeing as how he was the youngest. He walked into the next room and slammed down in the chair. Jason was flipping frantically through channels. Will was stating to get annoyed at this.
"Would you pick a channel!" Will blared at Jason.
"Geez! Fine!" Jason said as he stopped on PKMN TV, "What's your problem?"
"Back off, munchkin!" Will yelled at him.
"Shut up, psy boy!" Jason yelled back.
"Be quiet!" Luri screamed, "I want to hear this! They're following one of the new trainers to Lily City Gym. You never know, she may get here to us."
"She?" Will, Jason and Lance asked in unison as they started staring at the TV.
Luri made a face, "Yes. She," she said annoyed.
The three remaining Elite piled in front of the TV, leaving Luri only a small spot between their heads to see the screen.
"Men..." Luri growled as she went back into the other room to watch that TV.
"I was here first!" Jason screamed.
"Forget it kid!" Will said pushing him away a bit.
"Get out of the way!" Jason yelled in his ear.
"You can both get out of my way!" Lance said as he jammed himself between them.
Luri was getting incredibly mad now. She could here them fighting in the room down the hall.
"Dewgong! Go! Keep them quiet!" she said as she released her strongest Pokemon.
The Dewgong raced into the next room and broke them up. Will and Jason still took quick swings at one another as Dewgong parked them in separate chairs.
*^~^**^~^*
"What Pokemon do you plan on using today?" the announcer asked as he jammed the microphone in Eevy's face.
"I plan on slugging you one if you don't get out of my way!" Eevy hollered, "As per your question, I'm not saying. Jenna, the Gym Leader here, may be watching."
She shoved past them and stomped up to the door of the Gym.
"A word of advice," Yuu-Yuu said, "Don't get Eevy mad," she followed her friend to the Gym door.
*^~^**^~^*
"Wow," Jason said, "She's got an attitude."
"I think she cute," Will said, "What about you, Dragon?"
"I wasn't watching," Lance said.
"Bull you weren't!" Will shouted.
"Shut up!" Luri screamed, "I want to hear my TV too!"
*^~^**^~^*
"So, you're the new trainer Pro. Palm sent to me," Jenna said as she sat in a chair on the other end of the room, "Sure, I'll battle you, that's my job!" she jumped up and trotted over.
"How do you battle here? Two on two, three on three? Time limit? What?" Eevy asked.
"Your everyday 3 on 3 battle."
"You're on!" Eevy shouted with the camera getting jammed in her face again, "Would you get back?!" she shouted at the crew, "I need my own space, OK?!"
*^~^**^~^*
"You can't tell me you didn't see that time!" Jason yelled.
"Actually, I can. And I didn't," Lance said.
"That's it!" Will said, jumping up, "Watch the TV!" he shouted making sure Lance was watching.
*^~^**^~^*
"First, I'd like to say something," Jenna said, "I use Poison Pokemon, and I don't care for other types. So, if I hurt one of your precious Water or Electric- types, don't whine, I won't care."
"People like you disgust me!" Eevy shouted.
The camera man moved in for a dramatic shot until Eevy scowled at him and he backed away.
"You don't understand the feelings of Pokemon! You care only for winning! My Pokemon and I are a team, not a set of bandits and I cherish every moment I spend with them. Both in and out of battle!"
"Whatever!" Jenna shouted, "Let's get to it! Victreebel! Go!"
"I call..."
*^~^**^~^*
"I knew she'd use a Psychic- type!" Jason shouted, "And the color of that is amazing."
"You watching the match, or the girl?" Will asked sarcastically.
"The Espeon you dolt!" Jason shouted.
Will then turned back to Lance, who seemed to be glued to the TV.
"I knew you'd see her! You're fixed on her now, aren't you?" Will laughed.
"No!" Lance shouted, "I just want to see how she does."
"Yeah. Does what is the question," Will said.
"You little monster!" Lance shouted as he started to grab at Will.
"Don't push your luck, Dragon Master. I have Alakazam if I need him!" Will shouted.
"And I've got Dragonite!"
"Shut up! They're starting!" Luri yelled in.
Lance pushed past Will and slammed down on the couch.
*^~^**^~^*
"OK. Sovo, you have to be careful!" Eevy shouted, "Go! Use Disable!"
"And a great Disable has been launched by the young lady of Rose Town!" the announcer blared.
"Shut up!" Eevy said as she slammed him out of the way, "I need to concentrate!"
*^~^**^~^*
"Meow!" Will said, "She can get nasty!"
"Look at her eyes!" Jason shouted, "The colors are swirling up."
Lance was too fixated on other things to notice her eyes, "What's she going to do? Jenna is a powerful Poison- type trainer. She doesn't stand a chance even with the Espeon."
"You didn't hear a word we said, did you?" Will asked.
"Actually, no."
*^~^**^~^*
"Victreebel! Use Poison Powder!" Jenna commanded.
"Sovo, jump high!"
The Espeon took as big a leap as it could into the air. Jenna watched as Sovo started glowing.
"Use Solar Beam, Victreebel!"
"Psybeam before you fall!"
The Victreebel screeched an angry and painful call before falling over.
"Victreebel has taken a mighty big heap of damage and Espeon, or Sovo, takes this first win!" the announcer shouted.
"Yeah Eevy! Great job!" Yuu-Yuu shouted, "Yeah! You go girl!"
*^~^**^~^*
"She's good," Jason said as a piece of popcorn dropped out of his mouth, "We'd better keep an eye on this program. She could pose a threat."
"She could pose anywhere for me," Will laughed.
They heard Luri let out a growl of disgust from the next room and quieted down. They didn't particularly like it when Luri got angry. She had that Jynx that loved to freeze people solid.
"Jenna's getting ready to attack again," Lance said, "I wonder what she'll use."
*^~^**^~^*
"Go! Tentacruel!" Jenna yelled as she sent out her squid Pokemon.
"Ok! Sovo! Return! Go, Lovo!" Eevy shouted as she sent out Jolteon.
"For a beginner, you sure do have a heavy arsenal of Pokemon. But numbers can't beat power! Go, Tentacruel! Acid!"
"Lovo, run!" the Jolteon took off like a rocket and bolted around the Gym floor.
The Tentacruel was getting dizzy from watching the streak of lightning that was a Pokemon zip around it.
"Tentacruel! Use Poison Sting in one spot and wait for it to hit!"
The squid let out a long blast of poison needles at Lovo. Lovo was going to fast to stop in time and he was hit dead on with a huge blast of poison.
"Now, Water Gun!"
"Lovo run!" but Lovo was too hurt to escape and was pelted with a blast of water.
It fell the ground soaked and crying.
"No! Lovo! Don't worry. We'll get out of this. You did a very good job and I am so proud of you," Eevy said as she carefully picked Lovo up and cradled him, "Don't worry."
Jenna was surprised by the emotion Eevy was showing to the Pokemon. It wasn't even a Poison- type. Why bother?
"Don't worry. I'll get you to the Pokemon Center real soon. Please don't blame yourself," Eevy said as she recalled Lovo, "All right. Time to think," she thought silently to herself, "If that thing beat Lovo, she's got something packing in there for a Fire- type too. Zovo is out of this then. Yovo can't come out now, it's too early. Vovo wouldn't stand a chance against Poison- type. I have one choice..." she stopped and looked up, "Ok! You evolved for me, now fight for me! Novo! I choose...you!"
*^~^**^~^*
"A Vaporeon?" Lance asked, "What is she, insane?"
"No, she's got something up her sleeve," Will said, "You can see it in her eyes."
"I bet she's got a lot up her sleeve," Jason laughed.
"Shut up!" Will and Lance said as they smacked him in the back of the head, "We want to hear!"
*^~^**^~^*
"As you can see, PKMN TV fans, this young trainer's Jolteon just took a very bad hit from Jenna's Tentacruel. As her final Pokemon, Eevy of Rose Town has chosen a Vaporeon named Novo," the announcer said.
"Ok, Novo. It's up to you and me. Fight hard and don't give up!"
"Ok! Tentacruel, return! Go! Gengar!" Jenna shouted.
"A Gengar, huh?" Eevy said with an evil smirk, "You don't know who I am, do you?"
"No, I can't say I do."
"I'm Ecruteak City's Morty's sister. I know more about Ghost- types than you could ever hope to know. Especially Gengar."
"This fast talking Eevee and Eon training hot shot from Rose Town has just revealed who she is! In case you didn't hear her, this is Morty of Ecruteak City's younger sister, Evangelina! She is just now preparing to fight with her Vaporeon, Novo. Jenna has called Gengar. Let's watch!"
"This will be an easy victory anyway! Go Gengar! Rain Dance!"
"The Gym Leader has just used an attack that powers up her opposing trainer's Pokemon's attack! What next?"
"Gengar! Thunder!"
"No! Novo!" Eevy shouted.
*^~^**^~^*
"Whoa! Darken the colors! I'm blind!" Jason shouted as the white shock of the Thunder whited the screen.
"That was amazing! There's no way she'll win now," Will said.
"Don't be so sure!" Lance shouted as he watched the TV even closer.
*^~^**^~^*
"It's a miracle folks!" the announcer yelled, "This Water- type Pokemon is still going! It's still standing for its master's honor! This is incredible! And remember, you saw it LIVE here, on PKMN TV!"
"Novo! You can do it! I know you can! You evolved because you wanted to be stronger! Well, be stronger! You are stronger! Stronger than any Gengar! Stronger than any Pokemon I know! You can do it! Show them what we can do!"
*^~^**^~^*
"That girl's got guts! She's going to be a problem," Will said.
"But look at that Vaporeon. How did it survive that?" Jason asked.
*^~^**^~^*
"Let's go Novo! You can do it!" Yuu-Yuu shouted.
"Guess you've got to learn the hard way. Gengar! Thunder again!"
The Thunder hit Novo again, but Novo just kept going. He was fighting till the end and that was all there was to it for him. Jenna just kept shooting Thunder after Thunder, but Novo hardly appeared phased.
"If it uses Thunder a couple more times, it will be too worn out to do it again. If I could just avoid it..." Eevy thought, "That's it!"
"What's it?" Yuu-Yuu asked.
"Ditto just inspired me! Novo! Acid Armor! Melt away and out of sight!" the Vaporeon did as it was told and melted away.
"This is incredible everyone! The Vaporeon has disappeared completely! There is no sign of it anywhere! This is only being filmed on PKMN TV! Remember it!"
*^~^**^~^*
"That Acid Armor is incredible, " Luri said as she walked in with the Elite men, "I've never seen any Water or Poison Pokemon do that. It just disappeared."
"Usually it disappears and comes right back, but this is just..." Jason paused, "Gone..."
"This match is like a clash of Titans or something," Will said.
"This is better than last year's League Competition," Lance said.
The others agreed while staying glued to the TV.
*^~^**^~^*
"Now, Novo come out!" Eevy screamed.
Novo flew up out of the dirt in front of Gengar. It blasted into the air.
"Gengar, Thunder!" but Novo was too high up.
"Turn and spiral down nose first!" Eevy yelled.
"What?! How can that be?!" Jenna screamed.
"Ice Beam!" Eevy shouted.
Novo flew straight down and firing a devastating Ice Beam attack right down on Gengar's head. The beam collided and froze Gengar solid.
"Gengar is out of it! This young beginning trainer has won her first Gym battle on her first day as a trainer! If you're watching this Elite 4, watch your backs as well! Evangelina of Rose Town is coming!"
"We did it Novo! You did it alone! I'm so proud of you!" Novo ran up to her and spiraled up to her shoulder, "You're going to the Pokemon Center for a good long rest! You were just superb!"
"Eevy. Here's your badge. It's the Green Badge. You've earned it. I'll keep in mind the things you said when you first got here, and try to be more like you."
"Thanks Jenna. I hope you have a good year of wins," Eevy said as she took the badge.
She pinned the badge to the inside of her back pack and left the Gym with Yuu-Yuu close behind.
"Wait! Eevy!" the announcer shouted from behind them, "Just a few words with you? Please?"
"If you'll follow me to the Pokemon Center, I'll answer all the questions you want."
*^~^**^~^*
"That was great!" Luri shouted, "That was just great!"
"She's got to be the strongest beginning trainer I've ever seen!" Jason blared, "And probably the prettiest."
"Those Eons of hers are really powerful," Will said, "We've got to watch out for her to come parading it the gates of Rainbow Metro this year."
Lance said nothing as he sat staring at the screen, wondering just how far Eevy would make it in the world of Pokemon training.
*^~^**^~^*
Reporters were hounding Eevy the rest of the night, asking her opinion of Jenna's Pokemon, how far she was going to go, and other miscellaneous questions.
"Eevy! I'm from WBBL TV! What did you think of Jenna's Pokemon? Was she an easy target in any points?"
"She was only easy when I found her weak spot. And as a respectable Pokemon trainer, I won't say where that weak spot lies."
"I'm from WPLT! How far do you plan to go and what is your dream as a Pokemon trainer?"
"I plan to go at least as far as my brother Morty, if not farther. My dream is the same as most of the Pokemon trainers out there. To beat Lance to become the new Champion of the Rainbow League."
*^~^**^~^*
"Uh oh! Watch out Lance, somebody's after your position!" Jason said sarcastically.
"Ah, she's just a regular trainer. She'll bomb before Luri," Lance said as he leaned back in his chair.
"I wouldn't count on that," Luri said, "I see power in that girl's eyes. More power than even you. She'll get here."
"She's got looks, power and determination. She's the perfect girl!" Will shouted.
"Don't bother Willie, old boy," Jason said, "I think you're going to have a run for your money," he said pointing to Lance.
"Well, look at that, he does move," Luri laughed as she saw Lance stand up, "Where are you going?"
"For a walk," Lance answered as he grabbed his deep blue cloak and walked out.

"Why is that?"
"Taylor, the Gym Leader, uses Steel- type Pokemon like Steelix. I'd advise you to keep Misty out of the Gym too."
"What? Why?"
"You'll understand when you're older."
"Huh?"
"Forget it."
"Whatever."
"How long have you been here on Gertan Rin?"
"About a week. We had some trouble getting here from Johto."
"Yeah, everyone says that. The seas around this place are really rough."
"What about you, Eevy? How long have you been here?"
"I've been here in Nanka all my life. All 21 and 98% years of it."
"Wow. What's it like here?"
"Just like Johto. Only a lot bigger, and a lot tougher. The trainers here get a lot more serious than anyone from Johto or Kanto would ever think of getting. Especially people like Taylor and Peter."

"My life..Is boring..."
"How can you say that?"
"Easy, I open my mouth and say it, Luri."
"Why not get up and do something, Lance?"
"I don't want to, Will."
The Elite 4 sat in their house upon Rainbow Bluff in Rainbow Metropolis. Lance had been like this for over a month and Luri, Will and Jason were all getting fed up.
"You could always train some," Jason shouted in from the next room.
"Why bother? No one has been able to beat Luri, how could they get through you three goons to get to me?" Lance huffed back as he continued to watch the ceiling fan spin around.

"First, I'd like to say something," Jenna said, "I use Poison Pokemon, and I don't care for other types. So, if I hurt one of your precious Water or Electric- types, don't whine, I won't care."
"People like you disgust me!" Eevy shouted.
The camera man moved in for a dramatic shot until Eevy scowled at him and he backed away.
"You don't understand the feelings of Pokemon! You care only for winning! My Pokemon and I are a team, not a set of bandits and I cherish every moment I spend with them. Both in and out of battle!"
"Whatever!" Jenna shouted, "Let's get to it! Victreebel! Go!"
"I call..."
*^~^**^~^*
"I knew she'd use a Psychic- type!" Jason shouted, "And the color of that is amazing."
"You watching the match, or the girl?" Will asked sarcastically.
"The Espeon you dolt!" Jason shouted.
Will then turned back to Lance, who seemed to be glued to the TV.
"I knew you'd see her! You're fixed on her now, aren't you?" Will laughed.
"No!" Lance shouted, "I just want to see how she does."
"Yeah. Does what is the question," Will said.
"You little monster!" Lance shouted as he started to grab at Will.
"Don't push your luck, Dragon Master. I have Alakazam if I need him!" Will shouted.
"And I've got Dragonite!"
"Shut up! They're starting!" Luri yelled in.
Lance pushed past Will and slammed down on the couch.
*^~^**^~^*
"OK. Sovo, you have to be careful!" Eevy shouted, "Go! Use Disable!"
"And a great Disable has been launched by the young lady of Rose Town!" the announcer blared.
"Shut up!" Eevy said as she slammed him out of the way, "I need to concentrate!"
*^~^**^~^*
"Meow!" Will said, "She can get nasty!"
"Look at her eyes!" Jason shouted, "The colors are swirling up."
Lance was too fixated on other things to notice her eyes, "What's she going to do? Jenna is a powerful Poison- type trainer. She doesn't stand a chance even with the Espeon."
"You didn't hear a word we said, did you?" Will asked.
"Actually, no."
*^~^**^~^*
"Victreebel! Use Poison Powder!" Jenna commanded.
"Sovo, jump high!"
The Espeon took as big a leap as it could into the air. Jenna watched as Sovo started glowing.
"Use Solar Beam, Victreebel!"
"Psybeam before you fall!"
The Victreebel screeched an angry and painful call before falling over.
"Victreebel has taken a mighty big heap of damage and Espeon, or Sovo, takes this first win!" the announcer shouted.
"Yeah Eevy! Great job!" Yuu-Yuu shouted, "Yeah! You go girl!"
*^~^**^~^*
"She's good," Jason said as a piece of popcorn dropped out of his mouth, "We'd better keep an eye on this program. She could pose a threat."
"She could pose anywhere for me," Will laughed.
They heard Luri let out a growl of disgust from the next room and quieted down. They didn't particularly like it when Luri got angry. She had that Jynx that loved to freeze people solid.
"Jenna's getting ready to attack again," Lance said, "I wonder what she'll use."
*^~^**^~^*
"Go! Tentacruel!" Jenna yelled as she sent out her squid Pokemon.
"Ok! Sovo! Return! Go, Lovo!" Eevy shouted as she sent out Jolteon.
"For a beginner, you sure do have a heavy arsenal of Pokemon. But numbers can't beat power! Go, Tentacruel! Acid!"
"Lovo, run!" the Jolteon took off like a rocket and bolted around the Gym floor.
The Tentacruel was getting dizzy from watching the streak of lightning that was a Pokemon zip around it.
"Tentacruel! Use Poison Sting in one spot and wait for it to hit!"
The squid let out a long blast of poison needles at Lovo. Lovo was going to fast to stop in time and he was hit dead on with a huge blast of poison.
"Now, Water Gun!"
"Lovo run!" but Lovo was too hurt to escape and was pelted with a blast of water.
It fell the ground soaked and crying.
"No! Lovo! Don't worry. We'll get out of this. You did a very good job and I am so proud of you," Eevy said as she carefully picked Lovo up and cradled him, "Don't worry."
Jenna was surprised by the emotion Eevy was showing to the Pokemon. It wasn't even a Poison- type. Why bother?
"Don't worry. I'll get you to the Pokemon Center real soon. Please don't blame yourself," Eevy said as she recalled Lovo, "All right. Time to think," she thought silently to herself, "If that thing beat Lovo, she's got something packing in there for a Fire- type too. Zovo is out of this then. Yovo can't come out now, it's too early. Vovo wouldn't stand a chance against Poison- type. I have one choice..." she stopped and looked up, "Ok! You evolved for me, now fight for me! Novo! I choose...you!"
*^~^**^~^*
"A Vaporeon?" Lance asked, "What is she, insane?"
"No, she's got something up her sleeve," Will said, "You can see it in her eyes."
"I bet she's got a lot up her sleeve," Jason laughed.
"Shut up!" Will and Lance said as they smacked him in the back of the head, "We want to hear!"
*^~^**^~^*
"As you can see, PKMN TV fans, this young trainer's Jolteon just took a very bad hit from Jenna's Tentacruel. As her final Pokemon, Eevy of Rose Town has chosen a Vaporeon named Novo," the announcer said.
"Ok, Novo. It's up to you and me. Fight hard and don't give up!"
"Ok! Tentacruel, return! Go! Gengar!" Jenna shouted.
"A Gengar, huh?" Eevy said with an evil smirk, "You don't know who I am, do you?"
"No, I can't say I do."
"I'm Ecruteak City's Morty's sister. I know more about Ghost- types than you could ever hope to know. Especially Gengar."
"This fast talking Eevee and Eon training hot shot from Rose Town has just revealed who she is! In case you didn't hear her, this is Morty of Ecruteak City's younger sister, Evangelina! She is just now preparing to fight with her Vaporeon, Novo. Jenna has called Gengar. Let's watch!"
"This will be an easy victory anyway! Go Gengar! Rain Dance!"
"The Gym Leader has just used an attack that powers up her opposing trainer's Pokemon's attack! What next?"
"Gengar! Thunder!"
"No! Novo!" Eevy shouted.
*^~^**^~^*
"Whoa! Darken the colors! I'm blind!" Jason shouted as the white shock of the Thunder whited the screen.
"That was amazing! There's no way she'll win now," Will said.
"Don't be so sure!" Lance shouted as he watched the TV even closer.
*^~^**^~^*
"It's a miracle folks!" the announcer yelled, "This Water- type Pokemon is still going! It's still standing for its master's honor! This is incredible! And remember, you saw it LIVE here, on PKMN TV!"
"Novo! You can do it! I know you can! You evolved because you wanted to be stronger! Well, be stronger! You are stronger! Stronger than any Gengar! Stronger than any Pokemon I know! You can do it! Show them what we can do!"
*^~^**^~^*
"That girl's got guts! She's going to be a problem," Will said.
"But look at that Vaporeon. How did it survive that?" Jason asked.
*^~^**^~^*
"Let's go Novo! You can do it!" Yuu-Yuu shouted.
"Guess you've got to learn the hard way. Gengar! Thunder again!"
The Thunder hit Novo again, but Novo just kept going. He was fighting till the end and that was all there was to it for him. Jenna just kept shooting Thunder after Thunder, but Novo hardly appeared phased.
"If it uses Thunder a couple more times, it will be too worn out to do it again. If I could just avoid it..." Eevy thought, "That's it!"
"What's it?" Yuu-Yuu asked.
"Ditto just inspired me! Novo! Acid Armor! Melt away and out of sight!" the Vaporeon did as it was told and melted away.
"This is incredible everyone! The Vaporeon has disappeared completely! There is no sign of it anywhere! This is only being filmed on PKMN TV! Remember it!"
*^~^**^~^*
"That Acid Armor is incredible, " Luri said as she walked in with the Elite men, "I've never seen any Water or Poison Pokemon do that. It just disappeared."
"Usually it disappears and comes right back, but this is just..." Jason paused, "Gone..."
"This match is like a clash of Titans or something," Will said.
"This is better than last year's League Competition," Lance said.
The others agreed while staying glued to the TV.
*^~^**^~^*
"Now, Novo come out!" Eevy screamed.
Novo flew up out of the dirt in front of Gengar. It blasted into the air.
"Gengar, Thunder!" but Novo was too high up.
"Turn and spiral down nose first!" Eevy yelled.
"What?! How can that be?!" Jenna screamed.
"Ice Beam!" Eevy shouted.
Novo flew straight down and firing a devastating Ice Beam attack right down on Gengar's head. The beam collided and froze Gengar solid.
"Gengar is out of it! This young beginning trainer has won her first Gym battle on her first day as a trainer! If you're watching this Elite 4, watch your backs as well! Evangelina of Rose Town is coming!"
"We did it Novo! You did it alone! I'm so proud of you!" Novo ran up to her and spiraled up to her shoulder, "You're going to the Pokemon Center for a good long rest! You were just superb!"
"Eevy. Here's your badge. It's the Green Badge. You've earned it. I'll keep in mind the things you said when you first got here, and try to be more like you."
"Thanks Jenna. I hope you have a good year of wins," Eevy said as she took the badge.
She pinned the badge to the inside of her back pack and left the Gym with Yuu-Yuu close behind.
"Wait! Eevy!" the announcer shouted from behind them, "Just a few words with you? Please?"
"If you'll follow me to the Pokemon Center, I'll answer all the questions you want."
*^~^**^~^*
"That was great!" Luri shouted, "That was just great!"
"She's got to be the strongest beginning trainer I've ever seen!" Jason blared, "And probably the prettiest."
"Those Eons of hers are really powerful," Will said, "We've got to watch out for her to come parading it the gates of Rainbow Metro this year."
Lance said nothing as he sat staring at the screen, wondering just how far Eevy would make it in the world of Pokemon training.
*^~^**^~^*
Reporters were hounding Eevy the rest of the night, asking her opinion of Jenna's Pokemon, how far she was going to go, and other miscellaneous questions.
"Eevy! I'm from WBBL TV! What did you think of Jenna's Pokemon? Was she an easy target in any points?"
"She was only easy when I found her weak spot. And as a respectable Pokemon trainer, I won't say where that weak spot lies."
"I'm from WPLT! How far do you plan to go and what is your dream as a Pokemon trainer?"
"I plan to go at least as far as my brother Morty, if not farther. My dream is the same as most of the Pokemon trainers out there. To beat Lance to become the new Champion of the Rainbow League."
*^~^**^~^*
"Uh oh! Watch out Lance, somebody's after your position!" Jason said sarcastically.
"Ah, she's just a regular trainer. She'll bomb before Luri," Lance said as he leaned back in his chair.
"I wouldn't count on that," Luri said, "I see power in that girl's eyes. More power than even you. She'll get here."
"She's got looks, power and determination. She's the perfect girl!" Will shouted.
"Don't bother Willie, old boy," Jason said, "I think you're going to have a run for your money," he said pointing to Lance.
"Well, look at that, he does move," Luri laughed as she saw Lance stand up, "Where are you going?"
"For a walk," Lance answered as he grabbed his deep blue cloak and walked out.
