"Ahh. That was great Brooklyn." I said as I put down my fork and rubbed by stomach, satisfied and full.
"It was nothing, really." Brooklyn said with a slight blush, making Misty smile as the pokemon finished their meals as well.
"So, should we get going again?" I asked as I stood up and recalled my team bar Pikachu when I saw the girls agree with me. Unbeknownst to us a Venonat was watching us from the nearby bushes and it gave a curious look towards Fennekin before it hopped after us, seeing us leave.
Strike 'em down! You know you can do it! (Ross walks with Eevee, Bulbasaur,Rauro, Dratini and Krabby, sighing as they run off, chasing after them)
Everyone you know is behind you!(Ross nods at Pidgeotto and Butterfree who hover behind him before shooting off towards the screen as he backpedals away)
Hurry up let's go!(Ross, Squirtle, Primeape and Charmeleon all look up before leaping in different directions)
There's no time to waste!(Ross falls into the screen but a large Pokemon jumps up and catches him before hurtling off-screen)
I know that we will be free!(Pikachu falls from the top of the screen and lands on Ross's shoulder, both grinning as Pikahu's cheeks spark)
All our dreams head for tomorrow!(Ross leaps back as Rauro runs past him and uses Flamethrower)
So let's not fret about today!(Ross looks at a picture and smiles sadly as tears form in his eyes)
I know that we will be heroes(Ross jumps up and catches Brooklyn as she falls, making her blush)
And in the haze, I'll find my answer(Misty looks around worriedly in a large, fog filled space before the fog parts and a figure walks up to her, extending a hand)
Pokémon!(The group all stand with each other, looking at the sunset as a flock of Pidgey fly past the sun)

"We're making pretty good process, odds are we'll be at the start of the canyons by the end of the day. After that it'll be a couple of days until we reach Celadon." I said as I looked at the map on my phone and the girls sighed happily, eager to sleep in real beds for the first time in a while as we hadn't slept at the last Pokemon center.
"Guess we'd better start thinking about who to use in our gym battle, huh buddy?" I said to Pikachu who nodded and squealed when I scratched his chin. "I was thinking of using Rauro and Bulbasaur for sure. But I don't know what format the battle is, do you Misty?" I asked the redhead who thought for a second before answering.
"If I remember right it's a three on three battle, but it's been a while since I heard the rules so I could be wrong." Misty said as she thought back to when her mother and the Celdon gym leader had an exhibition match, which ended in a tie.
"Guess you'll just have to figure it out when we get there." Brooklyn mused as she fed Fennekin a twig and we kept walking before a purple shape hopped out of the bushes at the side of the path and stood in our path.
"A Venonat?" Brooklyn said before the Bug type gestured at Fennekin who got into a defensive stance and Venonat did the same.
"And it wants to battle Fennekin?" Misty said to herself as Brooklyn shrugged, moving to stand behind Fennekin.
"Alright then, Ember!" Brooklyn yelled, Fennekin sending a blanket of hot air and small sparks of fire towards Venonat who formed a green orb of energy in between his antenna and fired a beam of energy at the Ember, both moves colliding and fizzling out before Fennekin was lifted into the air while a blue aura surrounded her and Venonat's eyes glowed the same colour, the bug type then slamming Fennekin down, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Use Scratch!" Brooklyn commanded once Fennekin rose. Fennekin's left front claws elongated and began glowing white, sparks shooting off as they made contact with the ground as Fennekin sprinted towards Venonat who tensed up for a second before a cloud of yellow spores shot out from his head, between his eyes and antenna, enveloping Fennekin and locking up her muscles, making her fall to the ground as her claws stopped glowing and withdrawed. Venonat then focused before a blast of air distorting sound hit Fennekin and a loud screech rang through the area.
"Venonat's using Supersonic!" I yelled over the noise as we clutched our ears and Fennekin stumbled around with pure black eyes, albeit stiffly due to her paralysis. Venonat then sprung forward and crashed into Fennekin, sending her sailing back and landing on the ground in front of Brooklyn, struggling to rise again.
"Alright, use Scratch again!" Brooklyn shouted. Fennekin began running forward again but tripped over her own feet and crashed to the ground before being flung back once again by Venonat's Confusion.
"Fennekin!" Brooklyn cried, running to get starter's side and placed her hand on the fox's head. "It's okay of you can't keep going." She said softly as Fennekin opened her eyes, the confusion starting to wear off as she felt a new power well up inside her and she rose to her feet slowly, still stiff thanks to the paralysis, before an orange aura surrounded her and she gave a confident grin.
""That's Blaze!" I said happily, knowing that glow anywhere.
"Now Fennekin can stand a better chance against Venonat!" Misty said, clapping her hands in happiness. Said bug type looked less confident but still fired another Supersonic towards Fennekin who leapt to the side at Brooklyn's command.
"Now Ember!" Instead of firing another blanket of air and fire sparks, Fennekin took a deep breath as orange flames were visible inside her mouth and she blasted Venonat with a stream of red hot flames, a tinge of white visible at the closest flames to Fennekin.
"Wow, Fennekin even learned how to use Flamethrower!" Misty exclaimed in surprise as the flames lifted and Venonat was covered in a layer of soot and lay on the ground with his eyes shut tight, unconscious.
"Guess thats it." Brooklyn said as she dug around in her bag and pulled out a yellow diamond, two potions and a red berry. She first gave the berry to Fennekin who ate and sighed happily as she felt her muscles relaxing again but then winced as the cold mist of the potion stung her skin as it healed her injuries. Brooklyn then knealt over Venonat and carefully opened his mouth as she cracked the diamond in half, releasing a white powder that fell into Venonat's mouth and he shot awake at the bitter taste before he saw that the girl had healed him, still annoyed at how he lost so easily before he made a desicion.
"Well, I guess we'll see you around Veno-huh?" Brooklyn started before she felt an odd sensation on her hip and one of her empty Pokéballs flew off her belt while surrounded by a blue aura and Venonat ran up and headbutted it, being sucked into the device and it finger a second later with a burst of sparks, showing no struggle was put up.
"Did that just happen or was I confused as well?" Brooklyn said as she picked up the Pokéball and pressed the release button, Venonat appearing in a burst of white light, looking up at Brooklyn expectantly.
"I guess so, maybe it wanted a rematch with Fennekin or something. Or it saw how you beat it and wanted to get that strong as well." I theorized and Venonat cried happily, jumping up and down, the action making Brooklyn laugh.
"Okay then, calm down, if you really want to join me, then I'd be happy to have you along with me." Brookylm said before a beeping from her Pokédex caught her attention. Pulling out the device, she saw a screen with 6 slots in two rows of three and a seventh box beneath it with Venonat's picture in it.
"You have exceeded your team limit. Please chose a party member to be transferred." The device chimed as Brooklyn thought for a few minuted before pressing on Beedrill's picture and it disappeared, along with his Pokéball as the device then powered down.
"So you went for the 'Party Rotation' method huh?" I asked, remembering seeing that option when setting up my Pokédex. "I thought about it but then decided it was a bit too hard for me to decide who leaves in that moment." I said as I explained my reasoning behind my rotation option.
"Yeah, but I'm just happy to have another friend by my side on the road." Brooklyn said as she hugged her newest Pokemon before she let her team out, before recalling Abra as he was fast asleep. "Guys, this is our newest friend, Venonat. Be nice and help him out if he needs it. And don't worry. Beedrill is just at professor Oak's lab for a while. Now that I have seven Pokémon I'll be rotating you every now and again for some relaxation time at the lab." Brooklyn explained to her team as they greeted Venonat happily and we smiled before deciding to have a break and let out our teams, Misty letting out Vaporeon, Staryu and Gyarados, as they we're the only ones that could be on land for an extended time.
A/N: Okay so, two goofs on my part. 1:I apparently changed the year a while ago and never noticed. so that happened. and 2: I accidently forgot to add Quick Attack to Eevee's move set, so that's been changed now.
