As Hikari and Jason walk on the Water stage, the battlefield is seen as a huge swimming pool, so naturally only designed for water Pokemon.
"I wonder what water Pokemon he will be using.." Hikari thinks to herself.
Hikari threw out Poliwag, while Jason threw out his new water Pokemon, Goldeen.
"A Goldeen huh?" she mutters to herself, as Poliwag uses water gun against it, only to have Goldeen use it's horn to drill threw the water, as Goldeen uses horn attack on Poliwag, as Poliwag is able to dodge.
Although Poliwag dodged in such a way that she was able to use tail whip to hit Goldeen in the air, while Goldeen started to get dizzy, Poliwag used water gun, as Goldeen is blasted into the water.
Hikari: "I guess it's over"
Goldeen suddenly pops out of the water behind Poliwag, using horn attack, knocking Poliwag into the water.
"It's no use, water attacks don't work well against water Pokemon, you only have water attacks, I have others" Jason said, as Hikari grinds her teeth, angry.
"I need four Rings to get into the Eighth Gym, plus I need seven Badges more all up, I haven't got time to lose" she says, as no matter how hard Poliwag tries, Goldeen counters with hor attack, eventually knocking Poliwag out.
As Jason collects his Second Ring, Hikari storms out, wanting to take a request from the Pokemon Black Market.
Later on that day, Hikari appears in the local Pokemon Centre, reading two requests, as a small grin appears over her miserable smile, due to Jason beating her twice, and all that effort she put into it, as she felt depressed.
The First request read from an unknown contact, who explained the Black Market into Detail.
Here is what Hikari read from the letter.
"I see you have a rather excellent catching rate, see, the Pokemon Black Market is a place to sell Pokemon, the aim is to make money.
You can either catch a Pokemon and sell it, buy from the Black Market, evolve the Pokemon, and sell it back at a higher plice, or higher people like you who only got a small fee for your efforts compared to what the people requesting your assistance were getting.
The Pokemon Black Market has many people buying and selling, and amoung those, the best at what they do are granted access into Hunter Groups.
These Groups are a group of expert Black Market salesman/customers that are their to make money.
You have been selected to enter in my group, the Soaring Dragons, please click Accept or Decline now"
Hikari thought about it, and after a long thought, she decided to click accept.
