Hello everyone! Time for Goldenrod adventures! I think you'll all enjoy this chapter! Also FYI Hetalia characters shall only be important people, such as Gym Leaders, Pokemon Professors, reoccurring characters, etc.

Finally! They made it! Before them the hustle bustle of Goldenrod City lay before them! They cheered and whistled as they ran straight for the Gym, which was oddly almost a cupcake like shape, only to find it was closed for the day.

Henry groans as he was on his hands and knees. "Wwwhhhyyy! Why does everything hate me?!"

Totodile pat his arm. "Totodile, toto..."

Gilbert read the note on the door out loud. "Gym will be closed for the day, so gym battles will be held tomorrow. Please and thank you, Love Gym Leader." He sighs and rubs his head. "Well...looks like we're gonna spend the day exploring or whatever."

Alfred rubs his chin. "Well...how about we split up and do some exploring! We can meet at the Pokemon Center later. It's early, the sun is up, we are in a beautiful city! Lets relax! We just went through a battling tournament the other day."

Ludwig nodded. "Well you do have a point...and their were a few things I wanted to check out about this city...I say we do that." He nods.

Henry grins and stands up, holding Totodile under his arm. "Well okay! Lets go Totodile! I've always wanted to visit Goldenrod! Lets go!" He runs off.

Alfred laughs. "And I am off to try one of these Goldenrod burgers I've heard about!" He laughs and he runs off.

"Well Ludwig the awesome me is about to go and have some fun! I'll be seeing ya!" Gilbert winked and ran off in another direction.

Ludwig blinked and shook his head. "Well...at least I can have some peace and quiet for awhile..." He started to walk.

Henry sighs happily as he walks around. Totodile was walking beside him. "Now where should we go first. So many stores! So little time!"

Totodile looked around and spotted a shop they would both enjoy. He looked up at Henry and pulled his pant leg. "Toto! Totodile!" He pointed to a clothes store named 'Cool Guys'

Henry blinked and looked over and he lowered his sunglasses over his eyes. "Well I think we found something to do!" He picked up Totodile and ran inside.

Alfred had big sparkly eyes as he looked up at the burger place he heard so much about. "I can smell them from out here!" He quickly ran inside and soon came out with a bag of burgers and one in hand. He took a bite and his eyes lit up. "WOW! THESE ARE AS AMAZING AS THEY SAY!"

He was about to take another bite but stopped when he heard a noise coming from down the alley. He blinked a few times and looked down the alley. He heard what sounded like someone rummaging through the trash.

He slowly started to walk down the alley way. He saw a rather big Pokemon looking through a trash can. It was a blue Pokémon with medium-sized wings shaped like thistle leaves, and a bright red head. It has a set of glaring, ferocious pale yellow irises. Its arms are longer than its legs. It has a thick, moderately-sized tail and sharp claws on both the hands and feet. It also has tall red spikes; three on each arm, one on each shoulder, two on each leg, and four on its tail. It has a blunt, brutal snout, bearing a maw with small fang-like protrusions sprout from its jaws. It has a series of olive, oval like scutes running across its belly.

Alfred took out his Pokedex and aimed it at the Pokemon Druddigon, the Cave Pokémon. With the skin on its face harder than rock, Druddigon warms its body by exposing its wings to the sun.

"A Druddigon. Cool! Huh...wonder what he's doing out here..." He rubbed his chin.

Druddigon pulled out a burger wrapper and unwrapped it hoping to find some sort of burger remains. But no such luck and the Pokemon let the wrapper fall to the ground. He sat down on the ground and looked a bit down, a tear welling up in his eyes.

Alfred felt a pain in his chest. "No living creature shouldn't go without a burger!" Alfred walked up to the Pokemon. "Hey! Druddigon."

Druddigon blinked and stood up, looking at the trainer, glaring a bit. "Druuuud!"

"Hey now don't worry! I'm here to help you out bro! Here." He opened his bag of burgers and set out three of them for him and winked. "I got some extra, so I thought I'd share since you seemed like you were looking for some!"

Druddigon slowly walked over to the burgers and picked up one. He blinked as he took off the wrapper of one and blinked, looking at the marvelous burger. He had big watery eyes and stuffed the burger in his mouth and cried out happily, waving his arms around and jumping around. He's always wanted to try one of these burgers! Months passing by and not even a single shred of meat! Finally he got to taste what they taste like and they are the BEST! He took the other two and quickly ate them.

Alfred chuckled and grinned, taking another bite out of his burger. "I know right?! These are really good burgers! Best I've ever had by far!" He walked closer to the Pokemon and sat down. "I have tons more, not counting the one I'm eating. I was so planning on eating as many as I could and give some others or my Pokemon. But we can share!" He smiles.

Druddigon got a little closer and sat down, smiling happily at Alfred. "Drud! Druddigon."

Meanwhile Gilbert was looking around and held his hands behind his head. "This sure is a nice big city. Kesesese~" He stopped at a fountain and sat on the edge of it. "Wonder where I can go from here..."

"Car? Carvanha!" A Pokémon with a blue top half body and a red lower half, with a yellow four-pointed star below its mouth, swam up to Gilbert. It also has two yellow dorsal fins above its eyes that resemble shark fins, and a matching pelvic fin on its belly. Its pectoral fins are also yellow. The tail fin is composed of two red spines with a thin yellow membrane stretched between them.

Gilbert looked back at the Pokemon that swam up to him. "Huh? What the? Heeeey...what's up little Pokemon?" He took out his Pokedex. Carvanha, the Savage Pokémon. Carvanha has powerful jaws and razor sharp teeth able to chew through solid steel. Carvanha will form packs and attack any invaders in its territory.

"Well I hope you're not going to attack me!" Gilbert chuckled.

Carvanha tilted her head and smiled up at him. "Carvanha!"

Gilbert chuckled and rubbed her on the head. "Awwwh~ You're one sweet little Pokemon huh? Now why are you out here all by your self huh? And why in a fountain of all things! So not awesome! How about I take you to the ocean! That way you can find some awesome friends and swim around free!"

Carvanha flapped around happily in the water, liking the idea.

Gilbert grins and nods. "Good! Now stay here! I'll be right back!"

While Gilbert went off to get something to carry Carvanha in, Ludwig was inside a museum looking at the different fossils they have on display.

"Interesting...this is a Plume Fossil...if I remember correctly this belongs to a Pokemon named Archen..." He rubbed his chin.

"You are correct sir!" Said a man that stood behind Ludwig.

Ludwig blinked and turned around. "Er...hello! My name is Ludwig."

The man took his hand into Ludwig's and grinned as he shook it fast. He was dressed as an archeologist, and had a big smile on his face. "Nice to meet you Ludwig! My name is George and I am an archeologist! Always nice to see young folks interested in Pokemon fossils!"

"Er...well yes, I have always been interested in Pokemon Fossils, especially when I heard that people have figured out different ways to bring Pokemon back using these fossils."

He nods and chuckles. "Oh yes! in fact..." He looks around and leans in close, whispering. "I know a certain someone who might can help you out if you ever wanted to find a Pokemon fossil and revive it." He winks and takes out a card from his pocket. "Here. He's a top researcher on Pokemon fossils. He's a real nice guy, sometimes he lets trainers find fossils and revive them with our machine." He winks and chuckles. "We are in a dig site not to far from here, so if you're in the area come on by!"

Ludwig blinked a few times and took the card. "Tha-thank you. I will make sure to tell my friends."

George nodded. "Good! The top researchers name is Mathias! I'll be seeing you around! I have to go!" He turned and left.

Ludwig looked down at the card and put it in his pocket.

Back with Henry, he was walking out the store, carrying some bags. "Oh man we got some cool stuff didn't we Totodile?" He chuckles.

"Toto! Totodile." He nodded and pat his head.

Henry chuckles and found a bench to sit down on. "I got each of my Pokemon a leather jacket! This will make them all look super cool! And I also got one for myself so we all can match!" He chuckles.

Totodile hopped off his shoulder and looked in one of the bags and pulled out his own little leather jacket and put it on, lowering his sunglasses over his eyes. "Toto~"

Henry whistled, impressed and took out his camera snapping a few pictures. "Wow Totodile! You look amazing in that! Your cool factor just went up twenty points!" He grins.

Totodile crossed his arms and grins as Henry takes another picture.

As Henry was doing a Photoshoot with Totodile, Gilbert had found a nicely sized fish tank to carry Carvanha around in. He looked around. "Now which way is the ocean from here..."

Carvanha was happily floating in the tank. She looked up Gilbert and cried out before turning her body in the direction he should go.

Gilbert cackled and smirked. "You're a smart Pokemon aren't ya? Well we shall go this way!" He started walking in the direction she turned to. "You know I always thought Carvahna were cool Pokemon. I've seen them on TV before. They have this thing called Sharpedo week every year and they always talk about Carvahna since they evolve into Sharpedo and all. Super strong jaws that can bite through steel! Fast! Work in schools! Pretty awesome if you ask me. I also heard they act timid when left alone, but you don't seem so timid." He looked down at the Pokemon.

Carvahna looked down, a bit saddened. "Caaar..."

"Hey now what's the matter? Did something happen to you or something that made you not so timid?" He tilted his head a bit.

"Hey! Mister!" Someone called over to Gilbert.

Said trainer blinked and looked up at someone running up to him. "Huh? Me?"

"Did you find that Carvahna in a fountain?" He tilted his head.

Gilbert nodded. "Yeah...so what? Oh! You know something about this little gal here?"

"Well...I heard that that Carvahna use to belong to someone as a pet, but they couldn't take care of it anymore so they left it in a fountain. Since the Carvahna was a pet, it was use to people and was pretty friendly, so it was just there, greeting anyone who happen to stop by."

Gilbert nodded and looked down at the sad looking Pokemon. "I see...thanks!" He grins and runs off. "Okay I get it! You're lonely! You got left behind by your owner and you must have felt abandoned! People coming and going all the time since it's a fountain! Then when you see someone you can't help but be happy!"

Carvahna nodded and wiggled around in the water. "Carvahna! Car! Carv!"

"Then I will get you to the ocean so you can meet plenty of friends and be free!" He grins.

"Car?" She looked up at him and smiled. "Carvahna..."

Gilbert looked down at her and smirked. "No need to thank me~ It's what I do!"

Alfred in the meanwhile was leaning against the wall with Druddigon next to him, having finished all the burgers, they were full.

"So then I was beat by my rival again." He chuckles and rubs his head. "He's a real jerk, but I'm going to beat him one day!" He grins. "So then...my friends and I ended up here! Since the gym was closed we decided to just go and do whatever until later today." He rubbed the back of his head.

Druddigon was listening intently to his stories about his journey! They sounded exciting and thrilling! He wished he had that.

Alfred rubbed his chin. "Hey Druddigon? I'm from the Unova region, you're a Unova region Pokemon, wanna come and be my partner? I always thought Druddigon were really cool! You can help me on my Pokemon journey! And you can help me spread heroism and justice wherever we go!"

Druddigon blinked a few times and nodded happily. He stood and spread out his arms, letting out a battle cry. "DRUUUUUUD!"

Alfred grins. "That's what I like to see!"

Druddigon looked ready to battle as he flexed and had a determined look in his face.

"Right! You wanna show me what you got! Well that's cool! But lets find a more spacious place to battle, okay?"

Druddigon nodded. Alfred chuckled and stood up before walking out the alley, the Pokemon following behind him.

Ludwig left the museum and decided to eat lunch at a nice looking cafe, eating outside. He enjoyed his nice quiet time alone, though he was wondering what his friends were up to. He took a sip of his juice and a bite of his sandwich.

Henry was walking back down the street, his clothes nicely packed away in his backpack. He notices Ludwig and smiled as he runs over. "Hey! Ludwig! How's your day going?"

Ludwig blinks and waves as he sees Henry. "My day is going fine. How is yours?"

"Good good, did a little shopping." He chuckles and sits down with him.

Totodile hopped off his shoulder and sat on the table. "Toto." He nodded.

"That's nice. Are you ready for our battle tomorrow?" He asked.

Henry rubs his chin. "I think so...do you know what type the Gym Leader uses? I'm sure Gilbert told us, but I forgot."

Ludwig takes out the Brochure he had gotten with Alfred in Violet City. "It looks like Fairy Type."

Henry nods and rubs his chin. "Fairy huh...well alright! I think I know who I'm gonna use." He grins and crosses his arms.

"Mind me asking?" He raised a brow.

"Well...I'm gonna use Growlithe first." He winks. "Then if I have to, I'll use Totodile. Then Krokorok will be my secret weapon! Since Fairy types are weak against poison AND steel, and Krokorok has two of those moves!"

"Why don't you just start off with Krokorok? Since he would have the advantage after all."

"Well my Pokemon are super strong! So I'm sure they will be able to beat them no problem!" He chuckles and crosses his arms.

Totodile crossed his arms and nodded.

Ludwig couldn't help but chuckle lightly. "Well you sure are confident in your Pokemon."

"Well yeah! They are MY Pokemon after all! Why wouldn't I be? I train them hard and make sure they are tough enough to beat anyone and everyone!" Henry stood up and raised his fists.

Totodile stood up and raised his fists as well. "Totodiiiiiile!"

"Hey you know what? I think I'm gonna start with Totodile...yeeaahhh! You didn't get to battle in the Grand Challenge so I think you should start!" He grins.

Totodile looked up at him and jumped up and down, kicking his feet in the air.

Henry chuckles lightly. "I bet you're excited! Because I am too!"

Ludwig chuckles. "You're both like two peas in a pod."

Henry rubs the back of his neck and sits down. "I can't help it. We are just two cools dudes. So you know who you're gonna use Ludwig?"

He looked up in thought. "Not yet...I'm thinking I might start off with Houndoom...then again, Doduo might be a good choice too...I'm still thinking about it to be honest."

"Well hey! I know you'll figure it out! You're a smart guy! Plus your Pokemon are super strong!" Henry gives two thumbs up, along with Totodile.

Ludwig chuckles lightly. "Thanks."

Gilbert finally had found a spot where the ocean was and smiled. "Alright! Finally found you the perfect spot. Well looks like this is goodbye huh? It was nice while it lasted though! Kesese~"

Carvanha looked up at him a bit sad. "Carvanha..."

Gilbert looked a bit sad himself and lifted the tank over the guard rails and started to pour out the water and Carvanha into the ocean.

Carvanha looks up at Gilbert from the water and said one last goodbye before diving under.

Gilbert sighed a bit. "We may have only known each other for a short time...but it was still nice yo know ya..." He turned around and was about to walk away.

"CARVANHA!" He heard a Pokemon cry.

He turned around and was tackled by the same Carvanha who was now flapping around and rubbed up against him. Gilbert blinked and chuckled lightly. "You wanna come with me as much as I want you to come with me huh?"

"Carvanha!" She nodded.

He took out a Pokeball and cackled. "Welcome to the team!" The Pokeball opened and took Carvanha inside, sealing. He stood up and held up his Pokeball. "I GOT MYSELF A CARVANHA!"

Alfred found a nice spot in a park and smiled. "Alright Druddigon! Lets get this started! Hero I choose you!" He threw his Pokeball.

With a flash Hero came out, flapping his wings. "Braviary!"

"Druuuudigon..." Druddigon was prepared.

"Okay Hero! Lets start this off with Wing Attack!" Hero Flew at Druddigon, wings glowing.

Druddigon stood his ground and took the hit, sliding back a bit. His body then becomes surrounded in an orange aura. He releases a burst of orange energy, hitting Hero and making him cry out and flip in the air before catching himself.

"Whoa! That was Revenge!" Alfred was impressed. Now he really wanted to beat him!

Druddigon's claws started to glow a light blue and he ran up to Hero and was about to slash at him.

"Dragon Claw too huh. Move Hero! Now!" Hero flew up and out of the way. "Now use Brave Bird!" Hero flies straight into the air and his body becomes surrounded in red fire. He then flies straight at Druddigon and the fire around its body turns into a light blue aura, and it slams into him at full force.

Druddigon cries out and was thrown back, hitting the ground, groaning as he sat up.

Hero flinched as he was surrounded by static, as he felt his recoil damage.

Druddigon ran up to Hero, mouth open sharp fang like bulges on his head started to glow and he bit down hard on Hero's leg dragging him down. Hero grit his teeth and tried flapping his wings but couldn't get away from Druddigon's grip. He then let go and his tail glowed a light blue and he swung it at Hero, hitting him dead on and sending him to the ground.

"Crunch and Dragon Tail huh? Well enough playing around! Now Hero you can't let him show you up! Lets go!" Hero's wings flapped and his eyes focused. He quickly went up into the air. "Hone Claws!"

Hero was outlined in a red Aura and his talons grew sharper, his attack power raising. "Now Lets go! Wing Attack!"

"Braaaav..." instead of Hero's wings glowing white, they glowed a light blue and he flapped them, releasing light blue, saw disc-like energy blades from them. Druddigon cried out as he was hit and moved back with each one hit him.

"WHOA! HERO YOU LEARNED AIR SLASH!" He grins and fist pumps. "Yeeessss! Thanks a lot Druddigon! You let Hero learn a new move! Now come Hero! One last attack!"

Druddigon panted and and cried out when he was hit by Brave Bird, falling to the ground with swirly eyes. Alfred quickly threw a Pokeball, opening up and sending Druddigon inside. It fell to the ground and shook a few times before sealing shut. Alfred grins and walks up to the Pokeball and raising it in the air.

"I GOT MYSELF A DRUDDIGON!"

"BRAAAAVI!" Hero spreads his wings out behind him and cheers.

With Druddigon caught, he headed to the Pokemon Center where he met with the rest of his friends. They all had a long day, they headed into the Pokemon Center and were going to rest up, ready for their Gym Battle the next day. Tune in next time to see how they do in their next challenge!
