Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon , I have made up the characters for this story. Note that real places in the world will be used.

We see John Schmidl once again traveling around the world entering the Pokemon Grand Prix. He decided to take an exciting path going through King's Peak. His Pokemon are getting better everytime he goes.

"How exhausting is this, I travel up a mountain to continue my journey." John said to himself climbing up the mountain. When John finally reached the top, he took a break and decided to take a rest.

"Okay everyone, come on out!" John said sending out all of his Pokemon. His Torchic, Houndour, and Poochyena were all in good shape just getting out to play. Meanwhile, John took a look at his Pokemon Scanner which happened to be a map as well, he searched the map to know that he needs to be heading for the Ice Gym.

"I'm still trying to get to Calgary, but the road just seems so hard." John said to himself. He then decided to give his brother a call, John had kept himself in touch with Max as he recorded his number on the Pokemon Scanner.

A video message then came, it was his brother Max. "John, what gives you the idea to call me?" Max asked. "Max, I just wanted to let you know that I'm on my way to Calgary and I decided to take a break after climbing King's Peak." John explained. "King's Peak, let me see that on the map." Max said.

Max was looking at the map and he saw where John was at. "John, you got about 420 miles to reach Calgary from where you are." Max explained. "Oh dear, this is going to take a while." John said. "Well while you were taking a harsh road to Calgary, I've gotten my Ice Token at Calgary." Max said. "Really?" John questioned. "Yes, and as we speak, I'm making my way to New York City to enter the Steel Gym for the Steel Token." Max explained.

John was stunned to hear that his brother Max has obtained two gym tokens already and he was still with the one Rock Token. "I got to get moving." John said. "Yeah, and did you get anymore Pokemon after we last met?" Max asked. "No." John replied. "Tough luck, because I got more Pokemon after our last meeting." Max mentions.

John knew he did not want to dawdle anymore, he needed to make his team better. "I'll see you soon Max." John said signing off.

John got up and took out a Pokeball and after the Pokemon were exhausted from playing, John put them back into their balls. "Sorry guys, but we got some catching up to do." John said to his Pokemon after they go back in the balls.

John ran around and then he spotted a Gligar. "Gligar!" John exclaimed. He got the information about it with his Pokemon Scanner, it also indicated that it was wild.

"You're going to be mine! Go Houndour!" John yelled out sending out his Houndour. Gligar was floating in the air witnessing John right in front. "Houndour, use Ember!" John yelled out. Houndour used Ember on Gligar as it dodged the attack.

Gligar came flying with a Quick Attack that hit Houndour, and then assulted with Poison Sting. "Houndour hang in there, use Smog in the Sky!" John commanded. Houndour unleased a Smog attack in the air getting Gligar weak. "Now Bite!" John shouted. Houndour used Bite on Gligar hurting it. "Finish it off with Fire Spin!" John yelled out. Houndour who was able to learn Fire Spin during John's travel used the attack on Gligar weakening it for a capture.

"Now its time, POKEBALL GO!" John yelled out. He tossed the Pokeball right at Gligar putting it inside the ball. The Pokeball wiggled around for 15 seconds until it stopped.

John was victorious as he captured Gligar. "Now I got a Gligar, but we still got a lot of work to do." John said to himself. He continued onward his Pokemon adventure.
