Caution: the road ahead has several volcanic pits near the pathway; make haste while traveling. The sign read, as Crystal, Mew and I walked through the path. There were a lot of lava pits, but fortunately, none of them were blowing up. I thought when suddenly, a boy about my age jumped in front of us. He was wearing green combat pants, a gray and yellow T-shirt hoodie, and a backwards baseball cap. His blue eyes gleamed, as did his gold heart shaped necklace, when he pointed to me and shouted, " You, with the Mew on your shoulder, your Jake Dragon are u not?"

I smiled with confidence as I replied, " Haha, looks like I'm finally building a reputation, yes! I am Jake Dragon!"

Mew nodded in agreement, while a bead of sweat dropped down Crystal's head. The boy raised an eyebrow as he sighed, " I'd Love to burst your bubble, it wasn't so much your reputation, it was the Mew on your shoulder. You see I heard from the Cerulean gym leaders that they got beat be a boy called Jake Dragon who used a Mew against them, so I had to see the Mew."

His words felt like arrows as they shot at my ego, dealing a crushing blow. The boy then continued, " Any way, my name is Juno Runo, and am here to have a little test battle with your Mew, wadda say?"

Me and my shot ego, turned to Mew and replied, " Well it's Mew's choice, do want to battle buddy?"

Mew nodded and then flew in front of me. I quickly recovered from my depressing thought and exclaimed, " Ok Juno, your on!"

Juno smirked, as he pulled out a remote, pressed a button on it, and said, " Haha, good, now for this battle, I'll be using something a bit different, lets go TBEE-101."

A red light gleamed from the forest, then a large Beedrill came out, stood in front of Juno and said, in a thick Austrian accent, " TBEE-101, preparing for battle sequence."

" What kind of Beedrill is that!"

Crystal asked, as Juno snickered and replied, " It's mine and my beloveded Avia…s latest invention, TBEE-101, designed specially to combat Mew."

TBEE then looked at Mew and stated, " Acquiring target, acquiring target, target acquired, battle on!"

I smiled when I exclaimed, " No robot well ever get the best of any real Pokemon, especially my Mew, so lets do this!"

Then all of a sudden, TBEE covered his antennas and shouted, " ACK, voice irritating to sound sensors! Acquiring new target, acquiring new target, new target acquired, MUST DESTROY SPIKEY HAIRED CHILD!"

As TBEE aimed his drills at me, I sighed, " It figures…"

I then started to run back and fourth, avoiding TBEE's attacks. Mew tried to stop TBEE, but none of his psychic attacks seemed to work, ohh great. Crystal then shirked, " AH watch out Jake, Juno, cant you shut that thing off!"

Juno pressed his fingers together and replied, " Urm… well once TBEE-101 is engaged in battle… he can't stop until he defeats his opponent, also psychic attacks have no effect on him."

I then briefly looked over to see Crystal nearly strangling Juno as she shouted, " WHAT! What kind of idiot makes a robot they cant shut off!"

Juno's head seemed to fly around vigorously as he replied, " Heyyy, calm down!"

I then turned to face TBEE and shouted, " Psychic may not work, but this will, Go Charmeleon, and use metal claw!"

Charmeleon zoomed out his ball and slashed TBEE across his right eye, knocking him to the ground. TBEE then got up, half his face ripped off showing his mechanical insides, when I commanded, " Charmeleon, finish him off, use flamethrower!"

The flames knocked TBEE back and set him on fire. I sighed in relief, thinking it was all over, but then, TBEE got up (all of his skin burned off, so he's all robotic now) and limped towards me saying, " Musstt…. Dessstrooy…. Mustt terminate!"

I looked at a nearby lava pit and got an idea. I then shouted, " Ok Charmeleon, knock TBEE into one of those lava pits by using dragon rage!"

Charmeleon smiled as he blasted TBEE into the lava. TBEE resurfaced from the lava in a struggle and said, " OWW, hot… hot… severrre sssssystem dddaddamage… ca ana anannot… comm….putt…Buzzzzzzt…. AWW you hot blocked me bro…."

And with that, TBEE held one of his drills in the air and sank into the lava. Juno then dropped to his knees and said, " Oh, looks like I got pie on my face, aww."

Crystal sighed in relief when Charmeleon went up to Juno, took a pair of black sunglasses form his bag, put them on and said, " Mel, char, charmeleon!"

(Translation: Your terminated #$%^&)

I laughed as I said, " Right, good job Charmeleon, return."

As Charmeleon went back into his ball, I handed Juno back his glasses and said, " Sorry about your robot, but it was attacking me."

Mew nodded in agreement as he landed back on my shoulder. Juno sighed and replied in a mellow tone, " Yeah don't worry about it, however Avia is gonna kill me for losing her robot, so here, take this upgrade disc, that way I can say I upgraded him and he ran away."

He then handed me a small clear case with a disc inside it," Umm, thanks."

I said, when Juno got up and said on last thing, " Also Jake, I wanna challenge you again, for real the next time!"

I smiled and replied, " Your on Juno."

He then ran back into the forest. Crystal then turned to me and asked, " Jake, how come every time we meet a trainer, there always really weird?"

Mew and I shrugged, that is a good question, but I soon lost focus on that as we continued for Cinnabar island…

(Haha Terminator, I love that movie, so you can guess the curse word Charmeleon said, also thank u Komodoking, for the OC of Juno Runo, you will be seeing him again at the leauge, and always, Review and make suggestions)
