"This dojo seems like the perfect place to train," Owen said to himself. He was training alone, which had become a habit for him ever since his loss to Sabrina. Owen walked into the dojo and was encountered by a man in a typical karate outfit. He wore a sleevelss white shirt, baggy white pants, and a red headband.

"Are you here to train?" the man asked.

"Yes I am," Owen countered.

"My name is Aaron, and I will be your opponent. All of your battles will be one vs one. Go, Primeape!" Owen knew who was right for this battle right out of the gates.

"Go Squirtle! Use Ice Beam!" The bright blue beam was right on target, hitting Primeape backwards.

"Cross Chop!" Primeape's arms flew white, and then he smacked Squirtle.

"Use Ice Punch! Don't stop!"

"Keep using Karate Chop, and don't stop either!" Aaron ordered. Squirtle sealed the victory as soon as he froze Primeape on the first punch. Squirtle trotted back to Owen, giving him his trademark thumbs up. Aaron walked over to Owen and bowed respectively. "Three more challengers await," he said. Owen walked ahead towards the next karate guy.

"I am Mike, your second opponent. Go Primeape!"

"Again? Whatever, go Alakazam! Use Psybeam!" The foe Primeape punched the beam of psychic, causing it to disappear.

"Now use Dynamic Pumch!" Mike screamed.

"Alakazam, hit 'em with Hypnosis!" Alakazam shot the ring of orange at Primeape before the angry Pokemon connected its fist to Alakazam's face.

"Primeape, get up!" Primeape was dead asleep.

"Now use Psychic to wrap it up!" Owen yelled as he issued the command. Primeape was by the powerful psychic type attack. Mike bowed in front of Owen. Owen walked ahead towards the next trainer.

"My name? Hitoshi it is. Go, Machop!"

"Kabuto, I choose you! Water gun!" Machop jumped over the Water gun, and used Brick Break on Kabuto.

"Again!" Machop hopped into the air again, ready to deal the final blow.

"Kabuto, dodge and use Harden!" Kabuto hopped out of the way, and made his armor as hard as steel.

"Use Karate Chop!" Hitoshi roared.

"Dodge it! Then use Water gun!" Kabuto ducked under the attack, and then hit Machop with Water gun.

"Machop, you have to stand up!"

"Kabuto, use Water gun on the ground, and then use Tackle!" Kabuto lifted itself into the air, and then crashed head first into Machop. Hitoshi withdrew the fainted Pokemon, and bowed. Owen walked ahead and met the last trainer.

"I'm Hideki, the last trainer you'll face before our master. Go, Machoke!"

"Cubone, go! Use Bone Club!" Cubone ran out of its Pokeball and smacked Machoke in the knee with Bone Club.

"Now, Machoke! Use Revenge!" Machoke did a front flip, and kicked Cubone in the head! Cubone was smashed into the ground, a large crater surrounding it. Then, Cubone began to evolve! The only difference was that Cubine was now bigger, with a different face.

"Marowak, the evolved form of Cubone. Marowak is much more confident and savage than Cubone. It's will is almost impossible to break."

"Alright," Owen said while looking at his Pokedex. "Marowak, use Earthquake!" Marowak slammed its fist against the ground, causing a pillar to shoot up, and smash Machoke in the chin!

"Machoke! No!" Hideki cried. Owen stood there awkwardly, waiting for the master to appear.

"So you have defeated all of my students?" A man asked.

"Yup. Now I'm looking for the karate master." The man began to laugh at Owen.

"Well here I am! The name is Kiyo!" The man screamed. Owen rubbed his ears, which were now ringing. "The battle will be 2 vs 2, no substitutions. Go, Hitmonchan!" A brown Pokemon wearing a purple tunic appeared. It had boxing gloves for hands, and had the fighting stance of Muhammed Ali.

"C'mon out Nidoking! Use Double Kick!" Nidoking trudged towards Hitmonchan, and attempted to kick it.

"Dodge, then use Fire Punch!" Hitmonchan stepped to the side, avoiding the Double Kick. Its fist then caught on fire and Hitmonchan swung at Nidoking.

"Block it! The use Sludge Bomb!" Nidoking caught the flaming fist, and then knocked Hitmonchan down with Sudge Bomb. Hitmonchan got up and took its boxing stance.

"Ice Punch!" Hitmonchan punched Nidoking in the face, and then retreated back to Kiyo.

"Nidoking, use Tackle!"

"Hitmonchan, use Sky Uppercut!" Hitmonchan uppercut Nidoking into the air. Hitmonchan began to celebrate to early, and Nidoking fell on top of the boxing Pokemon. Both Pokemon fainted.

"Nidoking, return. Charizard, go!"

"Hitmonchan, withdraw. Hitmonlee, commence battle! Hi Jump Kick!"

"Charizard, dodge it!" Charizard flew up into the air, and Hitmonlee jumped up after him. Hitmonlee missed Charizard, and hit its knee against the ground. Hitmonlee rolled around on the ground in pain.

"No! Hitmonlee!"

"Charizard, wrap this up with Flamethrower!" Charizard flew down, stepped on Hitmonlee, and then one hit the defenseless Pokemon.

"Wow. No one has ever defeated me in battle before today. As a reward you may have my Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee," Kiyo told Owen. Owen studied both Pokemon. It was a tough decision because they were both, strong Pokemon.

"Hitmonchan. I'd like to have Hitmonchan," Owen decided. Hitmonchan stepped forward, and then bowed to Owen.

"Make sure he trains properly," Kiyo shouted, as Owen and Hitmonchan walked out of the dojo. Owen made his way back to the Pokemon center, to see CJ and Fate eating breakfast.

"Why is a Hitmonchan following you?" CJ investigated.

"I got it from the dojo next to the Saffron gym." Hitmonchan bowed to CJ and Fate.

"I see that it's very humble," Fate stated. "So...are you going to challenge the gym today? Fate asked.

"Absoleutly. And I'm gonna win!"

With Hitmonchan and Marowak, will Owen be able to defeat Sabrina next chapter? Find out tonight. Till then, peace out.
