A/N: Here's the beginning of the "Training days" chapters. Pure filler for about 10 chapters. The bright side is that there wont be a cliffhanger. Each of these will have a beginning, middle and end. The down side is that it gets boring and there isn't much of a point to them. I'll edit these so that they'll be a little more interesting. It starts with this chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. Maybe if I become rich I'll buy it from Nintendo... nah. If I become rich I'd buy a mansion.

Chapter 32 A Dragon's honor

May woke up feeling good! Today she was going to start training her pokemon for the pokemon league. The road to becoming a champion wasn't easy. Getting the badges was just the first step. She'd have to endure the road there. May would have to go to the Victory Road of Hoenn and endure the long trek to make it to where the Elite 4 were. Then she'd have to fight them and the current champion. But first, her pokemon needed to get stronger.

Her mom walked in with breakfast and her pokeballs. Arcanine looked up from his position on the floor. "I'm glad you're starting to train again. But please be careful."

'Don't worry Mom. I'll be fine." May said.

"Good, I already fed most of your pokemon while you were asleep."

"Even Kyorge?"

"Yes, but he really isn't friendly. Are you really going to include him in your training?" Ruby asked.

"Going into battle with him would be stupid. I wont use him when I challenge the pokemon league, but I will take him with me." May answered.

"I see... well you and Arcanine should come downstairs to eat." She giggled and went downstairs. May shrugged and followed her. Only to be surprised to see her dad there.

"Good morning May." Norman said.

"Hey Dad. Is this your day off?" May asked.

"Not really. I came for a quick visit and to change my pokemon lineup. Using two Slakings and one Vigoroth isn't that much variety. The battle with you made me see that trainers can exploit my Slakings weakness of not being able to attack sometimes. So I plan on catching myself a new pokemon. And..." He looked at Zigzagoon. "I want to train Zigzagoon to battle in my gym."

Zigzagoon was really happy. He have to babysit anymore! He would finally battle for Norman!

"Of course, I'll leave behind one of my Slakings to keep you company." He let Slaking out and took Zigzagoon's pokeball. "Ready to train Zigzagoon?"

"Zagoon!" Zigzagoon was more than happy. Norman recalled Zigzagoon.

After that, May enjoyed a meal with her parents, Arcanine, Castform, Wynaut and Slaking. Then May and her mom went upstairs to get May ready for the day. May wanted to make sure she was prepared.

Ruby went through the list. "Trainer I.D.?"

"Check."

"Side bag?"

"Check."

"Cell phone?"

"Check."

"Pokeballs/Ultraballs?"

"Check."

"Pokenav?"

"Check."

"Running shoes?"

"Check."

"Gloves?"

May slipped the gloves over her wrapped up wrists to cover up her injury. "Check."

"Bike?"

"Check."

"How about we stop here? You're not gonna be gone overnight anyway." Ruby said.

"True."

They went back downstairs.

"Well I'll be leaving now. I'll probably be back by dinner." May said.

Her mother smiled. "Okay. Have fun sweetie!"

"I'll be back at the gym before you return. Good luck." Norman said.

Wynaut gave her a hug goodbye. Then May and Arcanine left the house. Just as she was about to leave Littleroot...

"Wait!" Prof. Birch ran up to her.

"Oh, hi Prof. Birch. Um... how's Brendan doing?" May asked.

"Hey there, May. Brendan's much better. He's doing physical therapy as we speak. It won't be long before he's able to walk again." Birch said.

"That's good."

"But that isn't what I wanted to say. You are training your pokemon to become strong enough to challenge the elite 4 right? Well I heard a powerful TM for dragon pokemon is in Meteor falls. Up the waterfall. You could teach your Flygon a new move. A move more powerful than Dragon breath." Birch said.

(So I could have this new move replace Dragon breath? I wonder what it is.) "It sounds great. A stronger attack will really help." May said.

"I'm glad I can help. But you should go fast. I just heard about it, and other trainers might be after it."

"Good. That'll be my training." May recalled Arcanine and released Flygon. "Flygon, take me to Meteor Falls. It's right next to Fallarbor town."

Flygon nodded and flew up before flying at her. Prof. Birch jumped out of the way as May jumped on Flygon at the last second.

May looked back. "Thanks Professor!" And she and Flygon were on their way.

Later... Since Flygon hadn't actually been to Meteor Falls before, he flew to Fallarbor before getting confused. May just had him land and decided to ride on her bike there. She thought about letting Arcanine out, but decided to just keep Flygon with her. After all, this whole trip was for him. May rode her bike with Flygon flying next to her. This was a good way for him to learn where Meteor Falls was.

After a while, they made it to the cave. May put her bike up and entered. She and Flygon walked across the bridge and saw a huge waterfall.

"The first time I was here, Team Aqua had stolen a meteorite from Prof. Cozmo." (Ah... memories.) "It's good to be here without a stressful situation. Now I can actually enjoy the scenery of this cave." May said.

They walked over to the water. May released Lapras and Kyorge and then jumped on Lapras's back. "Can you take me closer to the waterfall?" Lapras nodded and swam as close as possible. "Kyorge, use Waterfall to take me and Lapras up."

May recently taught Kyorge some HM attacks. One was dive, the other was Waterfall. Waterfall was not only an attack, but a way of transportation. Kyorge was annoyed, but the water surrounding him and Lapras shifted. And soon enough, the water was taking them up. Flygon slowly flew up to follow.

Once at the top, Lapras took May to the plot of land that had an opening to another area. May got off. "Good work you two. You can return for now."

Lapras and Kyorge returned to their pokeballs just as Flygon landed by May. She and Flygon went into the opening and saw a body of water by a ladder that led to a lower area of the cave. Across the water, May could see some old people. But trying to cross the water would be impossible with those huge rocks in the way.

(And I doubt Miltank could break those. I wonder if they're after the TM? Well I'll have to make sure I find it first.) May thought.

May thought about having Flygon fly her over the water, but decided against it. She didn't really need to cross. She just had to find the TM. So checking a lower part of the cave might take her there. May went down the ladder and wound up in another area. No person was around. She and Flygon were on a high ledge. They could see water down far below them. A ladder that led up was over to the far side. So they started walking towards it.

Flygon was enjoying his time out. Meteor Falls was a pretty place. The sparkling water and the waterfalls made it special. May was enjoying it too. She had never been this deep in the cave before. But it was a nice place. They made it to the ladder and climbed up. Which May realized they were next to the old couple. Yep, flying over the water would have been faster since they just ended up in the same room, but on the other side.

The old man spoke. "Hello young trainer. My, what a wonderful pokemon you have with you. My name is John."

His wife spoke next. "Yes. We're trainers as well. My name is Jay."

"Really? So are you looking for the TM?" May asked.

"A TM? No we haven't heard of a particular TM here." Old man John said.

"But since you're here, would you like to battle?" Jay asked.

May shrugged. (I did want to train. So why not?) "Sure."

"Good. A two on two match." Jay said.

May agreed and let out Miltank and Grumpig. They did well in Co-op battles.

John smiled. "We've always battled pokemon together as a twosome. We've confidence in ourselves."

"We've been married for fifty years. The bond we share as a couple could never be broken. Lets battle." Jay said.

10 minutes later... Miltank and Grumpig won pretty easily. The defeated old couple recalled their pokemon.

"Oh, my. We've lost, dear wife." John said.

"Oh, dear. We've lost, my dear husband." Jay said.

May recalled Miltank and Grumpig after congratulating them on a good job.

"You did good young trainer. My wife and I had a lot of time to practice too. We've been married for fifty years." John said.

"Fifty years of marriage..." Jay said as well.

That was a little surprising for May. "Wow, you've been together for a long time. How'd you do it?"

"It was difficult at times. But if we ever argued, we always settled it with a pokemon battle..." Jay answered.

"Come to think of it, I've yet to beat my dear wife in a battle." John said.

Jay chuckled at that.

"Well we should get going. We're looking for a dragon HM." May said.

"Good luck." Jay said.

May and Flygon left the couple and went up some stone stairs. They got to the top and saw a man shaking his head at them. Funny, May should have been shaking her head at HIM. Since he was wearing a red cape.

"What a pathetic dragon pokemon. Let me guess, since he's so weak you want the TM called Dragon Claw. Right?"

"Flygon isn't weak. But we do want that TM." May told the freak-. er... guy.

"I am Dragon Tamer Nicolas. And I'm gonna get that TM. Just go away little girl. You are trespassing." Nicolas said.

That really bothered May. "Little girl?! My name is MAY. And you have no right to tell me to leave this cave."

"This is where we Dragon users do our training. The Champion even visits. Now do you see how special it is here?"

(The Champion? The actual pokemon champion... wow.) May thought.

"Go on. The sight of your dragon pokemon bothers me." Nicolas said.

Okay, that was starting to annoy May. "There is nothing wrong with him."

Nicolas pointed to Flygon. "Look at him! He has no pride. A dragon pokemon should be fierce and ready to fight at all times. He doesn't have any honor. He looks like he'd rather start chasing Butterfrees."

May looked at Flygon. He didn't even seem to be paying attention to their conversation.

"Look at my Salamence." He released his Salamence.

Salamence growled at Flygon and looked very confident. Flygon tilted his head in confusion. He wondered why that pokemon was growling at him. It wasn't as if they were in a battle.

"He knows he is strong and he's not afraid to show it. This is what real dragon pokemon should be like." Nicolas said.

(Idiot.) "Just because my Flygon is modest, doesn't mean he isn't strong. Especially when you think honor means having a huge ego." May said.

Now Nicolas was starting to get mad. "Ego?! That's it! I'll have to show you! Dragon pokemon vs. Dragon pokemon. Our pokemon have the same strengths and weaknesses. I challenge you!"

May sighed. Oh well, she'd have to show this egotistical jerk a lesson. "Flygon? Want to battle?"

Flygon nodded and stepped forward. Dragon pokemon are weak against dragon type attacks. So both pokemon were vulnerable to a super-effective hit.

"Don't tell me you just have one dragon pokemon. Three against one isn't even a match. It's a slaughter. I'll leave my Altaria out of this." Nicolas said.

"Whatever."

Both dragon pokemon stared at each other. Salamence was still growling. It was starting to scare Flygon a little.

Nicholas laughed before calling out to his pokemon. "Attack!"

Salamence slammed into Flygon with great force. Flygon managed to keep from falling over and jumped back to distance himself from Salamence.

"Dragon breath." Both trainers said to the dragons.

Flygon and Salamence took a deep breath before unleashing their attack. The attacks collided and exploded. Both of them were blown back and hit the ground.

Flygon started to get up, but was surprised when he felt a sharp pain in his tail. Salamence had obviously gotten up faster and grabbed Flygon's tail with his teeth. Before Flygon knew what was happening, Salamence swung him around a few times before throwing him into a wall.

Nicolas laughed as Flygon fell to the floor. "This is what I was talking about. Your dragon pokemon is weak. A real honorable dragon wouldn't let his guard down like that. Now finish him off, Salamence." Salamence walked over to Flygon and prepared to use another dragon breath.

May didn't even seem fazed by that. "Flygon is strong. He's just waiting for my instructions. Now Flygon, lets finish this."

Salamence unleashed his dragon breath, but Flygon suddenly leapt up and out of the way. That shocked both Nicolas and Salamence. Wasn't Flygon injured from being tossed into that wall? Their shock made them drop their guard. Flygon used dragon breath and Salamence growled in pain before falling over in defeat.

Nicolas sighed and recalled his pokemon. "Urgh! I didn't expect you to be so strong!"

"Great job Flygon."

Flygon was a little embarrassed by the praise, but was also glad he won for her.

"I guess I was wrong. Go ahead and find the TM containing Dragon Claw." Nicolas said.

"Thanks I-"

"But this isn't over! I dropped my guard but that wont happen again. We will resume our training! And prove to you what it means to be a true dragon tamer. I'll beat that Flygon yet! See ya, May." Nicolas walked off in a huff.

May and Flygon watched him go and wondered if he learned anything at all.

Nicolas sighed again when he was out of their hearing range. (The road ahead remains long and harsh. When will my pokemon and I become the best?)

Back with May... "Let's keep going. I get the feeling that we're close." (Nicolas said the TM was called Dragon Claw. It sounds like it's a good move alright.)

They came up to a slope. It looked like there was a mud slide. May carefully made her way down and found another ladder that led down. She and Flygon climbed down and made it to that area that had a lot of water surrounding the ledge. Except this time, they were at the bottom. Which was really close to the water.

May looked to the north and saw that if she crossed the water, there was another plot of land that had an opening to a new part of the cave. She went to the water and let Lapras out. "Let's go over to that opening."

Lapras let May on and they crossed over to the plot of land. Flygon flew over again. May got off Lapras's back and recalled her. Then May and Flygon went in the opening. They ended up in a small room. A few rare dragon pokemon called Bagon, were in there. But May didn't even think about catching one. Across the water was a very small piece of land. That had a TM!

(Yes! That must be it!) She let Lapras out... again. "I need you to take me over to the TM."

May got on Lapras's back again and they crossed the water. May got off once on land and picked up the TM. Yep, it was TM 02 Dragon Claw. They had it! And it's power was greater than Dragon Breath.

"Okay Flygon, we'll replace your attack Dragon Breath with Dragon Claw."

Flygon nodded and May held the TM close to him. It glowed and the knowledge of the attack was passed on to Flygon before it broke. Yeah, it's a pity TM's break after you use them.

"So... can you give us a demonstration?"

Flygon held his claws up. They glowed with power before extending and growing sharper. A power surged within him, and it looked like fire was surrounding Flygon. Then with all his strength, Flygon hit the cave wall. The force was strong enough to leave big claw marks indented in it. May and Lapras looked in awe.

"Wow. That is a stronger attack than I thought."

Flygon's claws went back to normal and he stopped glowing. He was a little surprised at how strong that attack was as well compared to Dragon breath. His new attack would certainly come in handy.

After that, May eventually found her way out of Meteor Falls. And it was getting late. So she had Flygon take her home. May released Lapras outside and her other pokemon when she got inside.

Her mom was almost finished making dinner. "Hello May. So how was your training today?"

May sat at the table, and Wynaut latched onto her as usual. "We didn't train a lot. Most of the time we were looking for a TM called Dragon Claw." She removed her gloves and checked her wrists.

"Sounds like fun. Did you find it?" Ruby asked.

"Yeah, it was surrounded by a bunch of Bagon."

"Bagon? Aren't those rare dragon pokemon? They evolve into really tough pokemon called Salamence. You didn't catch one?"

"Nah... I already have a cool tough dragon pokemon." May answered.

All this praise was really embarrassing for Flygon. He honestly didn't think he was all that tough. Either May was being way too nice, or he was better than he thought.

"Well anyway, my day was fun too. Watching Slaking do all the work around the house is very entertaining. Especially when he tries to make sure he doesn't lose Wynaut. That little pokemon is a master at hide and seek." Ruby said.

"He wouldn't be so great at hiding if he evolved. He'd be too big." May said.

Slaking sighed, he wished Wynaut would evolve soon then.

"Anyway, dinner is ready. Let's eat!"

After eating, May and her mom went to bed. May snuggled under her covers and wondered what she would do for training tomorrow. Then her thoughts drifted back to Nicolas. (I hope that egomaniac was joking when he said he'd see me again soon.) With that, May fell asleep.

Preview: May finds out there is a town by Ever grande city that she never visited. Most trainers who challenge the pokemon league travel from that town to get there. Meaning... May really should find that town. Next time... Chapter 33 Pacifidlog town.

A/N: I had to leave out the battle with the old couple since it was so one sided. Oh, and I changed the battle with Nicolas. It was short but this version is way less boring then what I had before. See? Aren't I nice to change things for you? But the next chapter is even more boring. I have no idea how I can change it to make it more interesting. If anyone wants me to throw something in then go ahead and suggest it. There were actually a series of battles with Nicolas. It was cut off from this story though. Why? Because the whole reason I battled him so many times was because I wanted the Dragon Fang. But he never gave it to me. Oh well...

Oh, before I forget again. I want to thank GlassSuicune, FlamingEntei (Still waiting on the Rescue Team Skichu update) and Flareon200 for the constant reviews. The reviews for the movie made me pretty happy.
