I'm an idiot, I didn't realize that I posted the same chapter twice until a guest reviewer told me, and thank you to that reviewer. Anyways, this chapter is 1 of a hopeful 2 for today. Last chapter was the return of the one, the only, Charizard! The team will be really mixed up for a few chapters until I can get it sorted out. And Charizard will not be battling against Pryce, if anybody was wondering. Owen will be using a strange team for that gym, so you should look forward to it. Also, Lickitung's level is a secret.

"I think I have this all sorted out," Owen told Lucy and Mint. "Feraligatr, Typhlosion, Meganium, Pupitar, and Electabuzz come on out!" The five Pokemon eyed there excited trainer and they were all praying that it wasn't like him learning about the "birds and the bees."

"Why do you only have 5 Pokemon on you?" Mint questioned. Owen rolled his eyes at the question that he found to be "stupid."

"Everybody, I want you to meet my first Pokemon. Charizard, go!" Charizard stood in front of the group of five Johto Pokemon and greeted all of them warmly, except for Typhlosion.

"I think he hates Typhlosion," Lucy examined. Owen shook his head with disappointment. Charizard stared holes through Typhlosion, who looked quite nervous.

"Charizard, this isn't the same Typhlosion from the the Indigo League." Charizard nodded and said hello to Typhlosion, who was now much more relaxed than before.

"I'm surprised that they're all getting along with him so well," Lucy told the two boys. Owen and Mint nodded in agreement as they watched the fire lizard reminisce about his times in Kanto. The other Pokemon were looking at Charizard in awe. He was easily the highest leveled Pokemon that Owen had, he was the most reliable Pokemon Owen had, and he was the most experienced Pokemon of Owen's. The story telling was interrupted when someone called Owen's name.

"Hey, are you Owen Plateau?" Owen turned and saw a man with spiky red hair. He wore a black cape and a blue jumpsuit.

"Yeah, why?" The man began to look over at his Owen's Pokemon, examining each of them closely. He was really staring at Charizard and Feraligatr who appeared to be the strongest of the group.

"I'm Lance, the champion of the Silver Conference and a member of the Elite 4 in Kanto. I heard that you went to Johto for the Silver Conference, and I'd like to challenge you to a battle." Mint fainted as soon as he heard that Lance, the champion of Johto had been talking to his friend.

"Alright. How many Pokemon?" All of Owen's Pokemon's heads shot up and they walked over to their trainer. Each one of them looked at Lance with anticipation, except for Charizard. Lance looked at Charizard strangely as he realized that the winged lizard was unimpressed.

"How about 1 vs. 1?" Lance asked Owen. The boy nodded and he along with his Pokemon, Lance, and Lucy who was carrying the fainted Mint went to the backyard of the Pokemon center and found an open battlefield. Each trainer went to their side, and decided on their Pokemon.

"Who do you guys want to battle?" Owen questioned the Pokemon. They all looked around and tried to nudge Charizard forward. Surprisingly, he declined the nomination and turned to Feraligatr.

"OK, Feraligatr you're up."

"Dragonite, let's go!" Feraligatr and Dragonite glared at one another before the battle.

"Feraligatr, use Ice Punch!" Feraligatr lunged forward, but in the blink of an eye his fist was caught.

"Dragonite, use Thunder!" Large black clouds appeared in the sky and they released insane amounts of lightning. Feraligatr was struck, and dropped to his knees as he cried in pain.

"C'mon Feraligatr, use Hydro Pump!" Feraligatr's neck snapped up and he hit Dragonite so hard that its head almost came off. Dragonite didn't move an inch, and he glared at Feraligatr.

"Dragonite, finish it with Hyper Beam!" Just as Feraligatr was about to be finished, Charizard swooped in and pushed him out of the way. Dragonite's Hyper Beam just missed Charizard, and it hit the ground which created a gigantic hole.

"Feraligatr, are you alright?" Owen chastesized. Feraligatr nodded in response.

"You have a long road ahead of you. But I think you have the potential to be able to face one of my old friends. Although you'd have to find him, he left to train two years ago and nobody has heard from him since," Lance told Owen.

"I've heard of that guy before! Wasn't he the strongest trainer ever?" Mint questioned the champion of the Johto league.

"Absolutely, he crushed me in the few battles we had. You are going to battle Pryce, correct?"

"Tomorrow, why?"

"Be careful. He's a tricky man." Lance bid farewell to the three trainers and walked to the east of Mahogany town.

"Wow. He killed Feraligatr," Lucy announced, causing the group of Pokemon to sulk. "Sorry!" Owen looked at the Pokemon who in return looked back.

"Charizard, it's time to show these guys how we do it in Kanto!" All of the Pokemon looked on with excitement in their eyes. "Lance, I'll show you and your friend that I'm the strongest trainer ever."


Some off screen training will occur and the Mohogany gym battle will be next chapter. BTW, there will be two more captures for Owen so feel free to guess, and Team Rocket's base is in a different spot than in the games. And I NEED ONE MORE OC SUBMISSION! ANYBODY! MAYBE SOMEBODY WHO HAS SENT ONE IN THE PAST! As always, thanks for reading. Until next time, I'm out.
