"Don't worry guys, you'll be back soon," Owen told Zangoose and Manectric as he was about to send them back to Professor. Oak's for Loudred and Ninjask. The two Pokemon sighed, but went back into their Pokeballs and we're sent to the laboratory.

"Oh my! What happened to this Pokemon's eye?" Professor. Oak shrieked as he Zangoose arrived in his lab. The scarred Pokemon glared at the old man before he and Manectric walked out of the picture. Owen was video chatting with Professor. Oak just before the tournament was starting.

"So how's everyone doing?" Owen asked. He hadn't seen his Kanto and Johto Pokemon in a while.

"Gatr!" Feraligatr dove in front of the screen and waved frantically to Owen. Grovyle, who was standing at Owen's side, stared at Feraligatr with a look curiosity.

"Hey Feraligatr! How are you doing?" Feraligatr flashed a toothy grin and a thumbs up. Owen thought about it, and realized how much his starter's personalities differed from one another. Charizard was serious once he evolved, but he occasionally showed glimpses of his old personality as a Charmander, Feraligatr was always happy and had a big personality, and Grovyle was quiet and a loner.

"Owen, let's go! The tournament is starting in 10 minutes!" Lillian yelled to Owen.

"I'll talk to you later Professor. You too, Feraligatr." Owen ended the chat and sprinted over to his friends. "You guys ready to lose?" Owen asked slyly. An intense argument erupted and lasted until the group of four reached the gym.

"This tournament is in the gym?" Alice questioned. Everyone turned to Andy, who shrugged in response. "You better not be wrong." Alice pushed the doors open and the inside of the gym was displayed. There was an open courtyard with battlefield right in the middle of it.

"Welcome to the first ever Lavaridge tournament!" an announcer screamed to a full audience. There must've been close to a thousand people, which was microscopic compared to Owen's League battles. "There will be sixteen trainers competing in this tournament!" A lottery like machine began to hurl ping pong balls around, and then two shot out.

"Numbers 7 and 13 please step onto the battlefield!" A picture of Owen appeared on a large screen along side May! Owen stepped onto the battlefield and took his place and si did May.

"This battle will be 3 vs 3! Both trainers may use substitution! Begin!"

"Go, Aron!" Aron looked around timidly at the crowd of a thousand people.

"Go, Skitty!" A pink cat with a cream face stood on May's side of the battlefield. With a skinny pink tail and small teeth.

"Aron, use Headbutt!" Aron didn't move, and Owen was beginning to lose patience with the small Pokemon. "Come on Aron!" The Pokemon still didn't budge, allowing May and her Skitty to counter.

"Skitty, use Assist!" Skitty's tail began to glow, and then it used Hydro Pump! Aron was blasted by the insanely lucky attack.

"Aron, return." Owen sighed and threw out his next Pokemon. "Go, Ninjask! Use Aerial Ace!" Ninjask soared out of his Pokeball and flew towards Skitty.

"Skitty, use Tackle!" Skitty jumped towards Ninjask, but the flying bug smashed the pink cat into the ground. The crowd went nuts as Ninjask flew back to Owen and Skitty stood back up.

"Ninjask, use Fury Swipes!" Owen demanded. The ninja bug flew towards Skitty and began to slash at it.

"Skitty, use Tackle!" Again, Skitty was slammed into the ground, and Ninjask showed no mercy. Skitty was knocked out by one last Fury Swipe.

"Skitty is unable to battle! May, choose your next Pokemon!" May withdrew Skitty and glared at Ninjask.

"Blaziken!" A tall chicken stood in front of May and stared at Owen and Ninjask. It had red and orange skin, yellow feet, and long white hair with two red stems on its head.

"Begin!" the referee shouted.

"Blaziken, use Blaze Kick!" Blaziken's foot was covered with fire, and then it disappeared. Ninjask and Owen looked around for the fire chicken, but they couldn't find it.

"Blaziken!" Blaziken cried as it did a front flip and smacked Ninjask into the ground with Blaze Kick. Owen looked at the fire type in terror. None of his Pokemon were that fast or nimble except for Marowak and Wartortle.

"Ninjask is unable to battle! Owen, choose your next Pokemon!" Owen prayed that his next Pokemon would come through for him.

"Grovyle, you're up!" Grovyle stepped into the arena and glared at Blaziken.

"Blaziken, return. Go, Beautifly!" Grovyle watched as Beautifly flew into the air right above him.

"Begin!"

"Gorvyle, use Quick Attack!" Grovyle sprung straight up and slammed into Beautifly, who was launched even higher.

"Beautifly, use Gust!" Beautifly whipped up stong winds and Grovyle didn't know what to do. The grass type was cut by the wicked winds and he began to scream in pain.

"Grovyle, use Leaf Blade to cut through the winds, and then use Pound on Beautifly!" Owen yelled. Grovyle obeyed the long command as he slashed through the strong winds. He then used Quick Attack to jump in the air, and then he front flipped and spiked Beautifly into the ground with his tail.

"Beautifly is unable to battle! May, you must send out Blaziken!"

"Blaziken, let's go!" Owen looked at the state that Grovyle was in, and then recalled his Pokemon.

"Grovyle, come back. Aron, you're up!" Aron looked around and froze up again. The poor Pokemon wasn't able to deal with the pressure that he was under, especially because of his opponent. Blaziken looked down at the small Pokemon and it began to laugh. Aron looked up and began to snarl at the fire and fighting type.

"Begin!"

"Aron, use Headbutt!" Aron lunged forward and hit Blaziken right in the stomach. The large Pokemon began to cough heavily and hold its stomach in pain.

"Blaziken, use Blaze Kick!" Blaziken shot up into the sky and it blocked out the sun. Aron watched as the powerful Pokemon descended straight down towards him.

"Aron, dodge it and use Headbutt!" Aron ran towards May, and Blaziken slammed on the ground right in front of Owen. Before Blaziken could turn around, Aron slammed into its back.

"Blaziken, use Sky Uppercut, and then hit it down with Flamethrower!" May exasperated. Blaziken punched Aron straight into the air and jumped up right after the small Pokemon. Blaziken flew past Aron and was right above him when it released a devastating Flamethrower. Aron was hurled down to the ground and slammed into the middle of the battlefield head first. Aron had swirls for eyes and the crowd went nuts.

"Aron is unable to battle! Owen, you must call out Grovyle!" Grovyle stepped forward and he and Blaziken locked eyes. "The winner of this battle will move onto the second round! Begin!"

"Blaziken, use Flamethrower!" Blaziken fired a powerful Flamethrower.

"Grovyle, dodge it and use Quick Attack!" Grivyle hopped over the Flamethrower attack and used Quick Attack in mid-air. A white light followed behind Grovyle, and Blaziken reacted quickly.

"Blaze Kick!" Blaziken kicked Grovyle straight in the face with a fiery foot, knocking the latter of the two into Owen. The young boy helped up his starting Pokemon and looked at May, who was glaring at them both.

"Grovyle, if you can't do it, I'll forfeit right now," Owen told the injured Pokemon. Grovyle smacked Owen across the face and stepped back into the arena.

"Blaziken, use Sky Uppercut!" Blaziken uppercut Grovyle into the air. Grovyle spit out the twig in his mouth as he was punched, and it fell right in front of Blaziken. As Grovyle got up, he saw Blaziken pick up the twig and light it on fire!

"Gro-VYLE!" Grovyle screeched as he began to glow white. His tail grew green spikes, there were yellow bulbs on his back, there were green spikes on his forearms and he became much taller.

"Sceptile, the Forest Pokemon. Sceptile are able to cut through trees with Leaf Blade." Owen smiled stupidly as he looked up from his Pokedex and at Sceptile.

"Sceptile, let's make 'em regret that! Use Leaf Blade!" Sceptile slashed Blaziken in less than a second, and he wasn't even close to being done. "Now use Quick Attack!" Sceptile decked Blaziken into May, and the fire type starter was knocked out.

"Blaziken is unable to battle! Sceptile is the winner, which means Owen moves onto the second round!" Owen and Sceptile chest bumped victoriously as May stormed off with her fainted Blaziken.

"Nice job Sceptile, let's go find you a new twig."

•••

Owen and all of his Pokemon on hand searched for a new twig that was right for Sceptile. All of a sudden, a faint buzz could be heard from around the forest.

"Is that you Ninjask?" Owen asked. Ninjask shook his head and the group went back to searching.

"Tooooor!" Owen turned to see an orange turtle being chased by a massive group of Ninjask!

"Torkoal, the charcoal Pokemon. Torkoal are known for their intense fire type attacks that could burn off a limb." Owen and his Pokemon looked at one another and ran towards the mob of wild Pokemon.
