Hello everyone and welcome to chapter forty-six of Hoenn Adventures! For the user named "Guest" who sent me yet another amazing review with their amazing ideas, my response to them is at the bottom of this page in the Author's note. I am unfortunately not able to thumbs up or down your comment as it is an anonymous review so this is the only way of me responding! For the rest of you though, enjoy!


"Ow, my head, my spine and pretty much everything else." Brendan groaned as he awoke on the battlefield he had suddenly fallen asleep on. Once he awoke, he saw that dawn had just broke telling him that it was around 5am. Both Gallade and Latios were still, also, due to them both being exhausted from the day before, on the floor sound asleep. Brendan stood up on his feet and returned the two psychic types to their balls for a much better rest than the dirt covered floor before heading inside of the pokemon center and, after giving Nurse Joy his pokemon, back to his and May's room.

Once Brendan stepped inside, after slowly opening the door, he saw that May was still asleep soundly not even giving any signs of waking up any time soon and decided to head into the bathroom to do his morning ritual of brushing his teeth, taking a shower and a change of clothes (A/N Still the same clothes that he wears normally, just using the logic of fictional characters for having multiple of the same outfit). He soon walked out seeing the same sight as he saw before: a sleeping May showing no signs of her waking up anytime soon. Brendan headed out of the door opening and closing it slowly before making his way down to the cafeteria but not before being stopped by Nurse Joy who gave him back his pokemon to which Gallade almost instantly released himself once he was reequipped to his "Master's" belt.

"Why do I feel all of my bones aching in immense pain? It's worse than being thrashed around by an angry Salamence!" Gallade asked once he fully materialized as the two entered the cafeteria stretching his arms and legs.

"It's because all three of us fell asleep on the floor after your sparring match with Latios." Brendan replied taking a tray and his own serving of his breakfast "I didn't even feel tired when I just randomly fell." The two then sat down at a table with Brendan on one side and Gallade on the other who had his own bowl of pokemon food that he ate like fries.

"It was an adventurous day yesterday. Flying, oddly enough, takes a lot out of you." Gallade replied munching on three or four pieces of pokemon food at once causing Brendan to chuckle slightly.

"You're eating almost like May." Brendan joked earning a low powered high jump kick from Gallade "Don't try to deny it." The rest of their breakfast was mostly interrupted due to other people noticing Brendan and Gallade and wanting to meet them in person to which Brendan, whilst annoyed a little inside, and Gallade acted nicely to them signing autographs. Even though their popularity may have dropped in Slateport due to them being aired on Lisia's Contest Scouting program, they had gained more respect after Norman was found out to be the menace that he was making a lot of the people who though badly of Brendan just for the event with Lisia to have a change of heart and apologize to the Johto native. Before either Gallade or Brendan knew it, they had been accepting questions and autographs from people for almost a full hour making quite the crowd appear, one that had gotten too big to either of their likings.

"Master, a teleport is ready. Give the signal when it is needed most. " Gallade whispered to Brendan who gave the signal almost instantly causing Gallade to place a blade on Brendan a split second after they both up and disappeared causing the crowd that had gathered to blink a couple of times to make sure they weren't dreaming, then sighed in defeat knowing that they had lost their chance to speak to a celebrity child.

"Woah! The view from here is amazing!" Brendan exclaimed on the top half of Mauville City to which Gallade had teleported them to. The area that they were on was an area with parks, trees and multiple satellites and signal receivers but also had the prize of fresh air added to the mix "You can see pretty much the entire region from up here!" Gallade nodded also in awe of the view. From where they were, they could see Rustboro City off to their far left as just a small, grey speck, Lavaridge Town which atmosphere had mostly clouds over it due to their hot springs and their next destination, Fortree City, which looked to be enveloped in trees.

"Master, look! It's Fortree City!" Gallade called seeing the green city over the horizon. Brendan also looked in the same direction as Gallade but couldn't see what he was talking about.

"Where? All I see is trees." Brendan told the Blade pokemon who shook his head and acted as if Brendan was an idiot.

"That's just it! Fortree City IS the trees!" Gallade exclaimed jumping up and down slightly "The entire city is FILLED with treehouses!"

"You seem to like this city a lot more than you should…" Brendan joked chuckling slightly.

"Well, of course, I was there when the city did its greatest thing: was given a Gym and a Gym Leader!" Gallade replied causing Brendan to look at him strangely "Let me explain…


Fortree City, about a year ago…

A small Ralts wandered the streets, or more like wooden walkways, that led from house to house. Fortree City was had a small population but its biggest popularity was the eco-friendly lifestyle of its residents causing them to live in peace with the wild pokemon of the forest. It was at this time that there was a small festival congratulating the twentieth anniversary of the tree covered city. The Ralts peered into a nearby house that seemed to be where the festival was taking place. The house was largely bigger than the other houses in Fortree making it seem that the owner of the estate had high standing in the city's leadership. A clinging of glass could be heard making the small chatter stop completely.

"Alright everybody!" A woman in a light blue flying suit that looked around twenty-five years of age exclaimed catching the attention of everyone in the room "I'd like to thank you all for sticking by my dreams to create the healthiest city in all of this beautiful region of Hoenn! Arceus would be proud!" A loud cheer was heard from the people in the room. The cheer was a mix of women, men and children. The woman ceased the cheering by raising her hand "This prosperous society couldn't have been done without your support so, as thanks, I have a special announcement." The woman paused for a couple of seconds letting the suspense of the announcement get the people wondering "The pokemon league have officially announced that a Gym will be built right here in our very own Fortree!" A mass cheer was heard again much louder than the one that had occurred earlier "But!" The woman spoke up again "There's a slight problem. We….need a Gym Leader."

"That's easy, Wiwona!" A young boy aged around ten suddenly spoke "You're the one who led us to be this society and you already have a strong team of pokemon!" A mass chatter of agreement soon followed causing the woman, now known as Wiwona, to smile widely with slight tears forming in her eyes.

"Thank you…All of you!" Wiwona exclaimed through tears of happiness before raising her glass to the air "Let the festival continue!"


"Wait a minute!" Brendan suddenly exclaimed "How were you in Fortree, when you lived in Petalburg Woods?"

"Well, I lived in Fortree before Gardevoir, known then as a Kirlia, took me in." Gallade replied smiling as he remembered Gardevoir's kindness towards him "I was homeless back then and I wandered Fortree City like a lost dog taking scraps from the residents. It wasn't the worst life since the people there were nice to pokemon but…I didn't really like it so once Kirlia told me that I could join the kingdom that she lived in, I couldn't help but accept." Brendan nodded smiling slightly learning of Gallade's past before something came across his mind as he reached towards his belt.

"Oh crap, what time is it?" Brendan asked rhetorically as he answered his own question by looking at his PokeNav and his eyes widened when he saw the time "8:30?! We'd better get moving and quick otherwise it'll take more than just two days to get to Fortree City!" Gallade nodded teleporting the two back down to the center's lobby. Luckily, the people who had gathered to see them had left to either do their own things or to continue travelling so they were free to do as they pleased. Brendan had told Gallade to wait in the lobby whilst he went and grabbed his bag from his room and, as he was about to reach for the knob to the door of his and May's room, the door opened wide revealing a groggy coordinator.

"And where were you?" May asked wiping her eyes of any sleep moving out of the way for Brendan to come in and grab his bag. Brendan chuckled slightly before answering.

"You didn't miss me that much, did you?" Brendan replied jokingly causing May to stare at him angrily "C'mon, we'd better get moving quick otherwise the trip to Fortree'll take longer than expected." May nodded taking her bag with her and walking into the bathroom "I'll wait for you in the lobby!" Brendan shouted before shutting the door and heading down to the lobby where he met back up with Gallade, who had sat on one of the couches twiddling his thumbs (A/N Or had atleast tried to) in the lobby and waited for May to arrive which she did about half an hour later causing the three to go inside the cafeteria. Brendan had only allowed May to have one serving of breakfast but promised to make a bigger lunch as he literally dragged her out of the center making a few stare at the couple.

"But...lunch isn't for the next three hours! I'll starve to death!" May whined using her puppy dog eyes and her bottom lip puckered but Brendan wasn't fazed by it.

"You'll be fine, three hours isn't that long, is it?" Brendan asked even though he knew May's reaction: a stare. He got what he predicted causing him to sigh but then thought of something that may tip the scale in his favor "It's that, or we spend longer on the road." May froze as she thought for a second but then she was the one that was dragging Brendan to their destination "You changed your mind quick."


The two had crossed the lake thanks to Marshtomp and continued from where they had left off and journeyed the rest of Route 118. That is until they were stopped by two reporters. One was a female, who looked barely older than twenty, with short, brown hair that barely went past her ears that was combed over to the side, pale skin, brown eyes the same color as her hair, pale skin, a light bluish green top over a pale green shirt, white jeans and a microphone that had a black handle and the actual microphone part was bright red over a light blue stand. The other person was a male, who looked slightly older than the female, who had long, black hair, black eyes, dark blue cap that was on backwards, pale skin, a grey top that was mostly plain but had an orange creature with two purple eyes and was surrounded in blue electricity and had two blue lightning bolts at each of its sides like hands, dark blue jeans and a black, expensive-looking camera.

"Trainers!" The female reporter suddenly exclaimed appearing before Brendan and May with their faces only inches apart with the male cameraman behind her slightly. The female turned around to face the camera with the microphone in her right and a thrusting fist in her other "We've found two more fascinating trainers here today folks! And they both have a reputation!" The female then turned around to Brendan and May again "How about it? Would you two take us on in a double battle?"

"No. We'd lik-"

"Yes! Of course!" May interrupted before turning to Brendan "Come on, Bren! It'll be fun!" Brendan sighed before replying.

"Alright, but a battle and nothing else!" Brendan told the reporters who nodded eagerly.

"After the break, we face Brendan King, son of the recently jailed Norman King and already has five Gym Badges and May Maple, daughter of the highly respected Professor Birch and already has three ribbons!" The female reporter exclaimed to the camera "Stay tuned!"

"Aaaand…CUT!" The male exclaimed "That was great Gabs!"

"Aww, thanks Ty!" "Gabs" replied back going slightly red before the two gave each other a quick kiss on the lips "Oh, where are my manners, my name is Gabriella, or Gabby as the fans call me, and this here, is my fiancée, Tyler, or Ty for short." Gabby told Brendan and May pointing to each of them respectively before showing off their rings.

"Congratulations!" May told them seeing the rings with Brendan smiling and nodding. Before Gabby could speak, Ty spoke before her.

"Gabs! On air in 3…2…1! Ty informed Gabby before flashing a thumbs up to Gabby giving her the OK to begin.

"Welcome back to Trainer Scouting! I'm your host, Gabby, and today, we have two very special quests! Brendan King and May Maple!" Gabby exclaimed as Ty moved the camera to face Brendan and May who gave waves to the screen "Myself and our cameraman, Ty, will have a double battle against the both of you, sound OK?"

"Sounds fine/Alright then." May/Brendan replied in that order. Gabby gave a smile, something that seemed to never leave her face even off camera, and nodded as she and Ty got to one end of a large space whilst Brendan and May took the other end.

"We'll go first, won't we, Ty?" Gabby asked as she grabbed a ball and Ty instantly nodded.

"Of course, Gabs!" Ty replied also grabbing a ball.

"Magneton/Exploud!" Gabby and Ty exclaimed at the same time as they both threw their balls into the air "Light, camera, action!" The magnet pokemon appeared at Gabby's side but a gigantic, purplish blue creature stood in front of Ty. Exploud's main feature was apparent to one simple glance at the sound based monster: its gaping mouth with four sharp teeth, two on top, two on bottom. It had pink eyes. Around its head were hair-like tubes that all ended with it being yellow after its usual purplish blue. Its two tails also followed this trait but were much larger. It had three claws at the end of its gigantic feet with a hole in both of its knees. Its two arms also had holes in the elbows and lines across the part under the elbow. Exploud entered the field with a screeching roar. May, somehow, analysed the pokemon with her Pokedex.

"Exploud, the Loud Noise Pokemon and the evolved form of Loudred. Exploud triggers earthquakes with the tremors it creates by bellowing. If this Pokémon violently inhales from the ports on its body, it's a sign that it is preparing to let loose a huge bellow."

"Sheesh! Talk about a loudmouth!" May commented after hearing the Pokedex. Brendan smirked as he grabbed his own pokeball.

"How do you break sound? More of it! Crobat! Battle stance!" Brendan exclaimed releasing the Bat pokemon who, in turn, let out a screech of his own to which all but Magneton, since it had no ears, Exploud, because of its ability, and Brendan, who was used to his screeches by now that it didn't affect him, covered their ears.

"Did you have to do that, Bren?" May asked slightly annoyed but Brendan didn't answer and his smirk only grew larger causing May to playfully growl as she grabbed her own pokeball "How about this?! Mawile! Take the stage!" May exclaimed releasing the Deceiver pokemon. Mawile was wearing a bright pink bow on her left strand of hair to which Crobat laughed at. Mawile glared evilly at Crobat who sneered back knowing that he now had the strength to battle against Mawile and was no longer afraid of the steel and fairy type but would settle his differences with her in order to win this battle.

"Err, May? You sure it's wise to send out these two to work together? You do remember what they were doing before we caught them, right?" Brendan questioned as May looked at him in confusion for a second but then went slightly red in embarrassment when she realized what he was talking about. Mawile turned around towards May.

"It's fine, Mistress. I'll be able to work with this one…IF he doesn't get in my way." Mawile told her giving an evil glare to Crobat.

"And vuck voo voo!" Crobat replied back angrily as Mawile turned back around to face her opponents. Brendan and May sighed at the two but took their word for it and put their game faces on. May raised her hand to the air touching the mega stone on her mega ring.

"Mawile! Mega evolve!" May shouted as Mawile became enveloped in a whitish pink sphere. Mawile soon cracked her way out revealing her mega evolved form. Mawile now had a dark pinkish purple dress on instead of her usual cream colored one. She had the same shade of pinkish purple at the end of her arms but her biggest difference was that her jaws had not only multiplied making her have two instead of the original one, but they had also grown fiercer and more deadlier as the teeth were sharpened and they had lengthened. All, even Crobat who was slightly impressed, were in awe of Mawile's new look as Mawile posed for the camera.

"WOAH!" Gabby exclaimed through the microphone "Mawile just mega evolved and look at it now! I'm terrified!" Ty zoomed in to the posing Mawile getting a better look at the Deceiver pokemon. Gabby soon snapped out of her trance and looked over to Brendan and May "You two can have the first moves!" Brendan and May snapped out of their trances as well and nodded.

"Crobat, cross poison on Exploud/Mawile, fire fang on Magneton!" Brendan/May commanded as Crobat's wings glowed a purple "X" shape and both of Mawile's jaws held fiery auras as they both charged at top speed towards their opponents.

"Magneton, stop Crobat with thunderbolt/Exploud, earthquake!" Gabby/Ty countered as Magneton became enveloped in yellow electricity sending a powerful bolt of said electricity towards Crobat as Exploud stomped the ground hard sending a ginormous earth shattering attack towards Mawile.

"Crobat, kick Mawile into the air!" Brendan quickly shouted as Crobat grew an evil smirk on his face whilst Mawile's expression quickly grew to anger but decided to allow for the command to happen.

"Vith pleasure, Vaster!" Crobat replied as he sped towards Mawile, dodging the bolt of lightning completely, and ramming straight into Mawile sending her flying through the air dodging the earthquake attack as Crobat simply flew up high enough. Mawile was quickly falling to what could be her doom but, just as she braced for impact, she felt herself being caught by…Crobat?

"W-Why did yo-"

"Vour my vriend." Crobat replied simply letting Mawile back onto her feet "Vet's finish vis battle, vogether!" Mawile smiled and nodded her head with a confident grin on her face. Both pokemon had settled their differences and were ready to fight.

"Crobat, acrobatics/Mawile, iron head!" Brendan/May ordered both aiming for Exploud. Crobat sped towards Exploud doing multiple tricks in the air such as loop-de-loops, barrel rolls and swivels whilst Mawile, who was behind slightly, had her head tucked in as it and her two jaws were embedded in a steely glow. Both looked like they were about to deal massive damage to the normal type.

"Magneton, thunder wave!" Gabby shouted pointing using her microphone to the opposing pokemon knowing that whatever she did, Exploud would be hit either way and decided on making something that would limit their movements would work better. Magneton let out a weak jolt that missed Crobat completely but hit their powerhouse: Mawile. Mawile stopped in her tracks as she crackled with electricity as Crobat hit Exploud multiple times causing it to grunt in pain due to the seemingly powerful attack. After he was done, Crobat landed on his two small feet next to the fallen down Mawile.

"Vavile! Can vou stand?" Crobat asked and Mawile grunted trying to stand up but ultimately failed to do so "Vet me velp." Crobat then got behind Mawile and began to push her back up straight using his head causing Mawile to go slightly red from the Bat pokemon's touch. Mawile eventually stood back up and turned to the poison and flying type who smiled at her. Mawile returned the favor by giving Crobat a kiss on the cheek to which the flying type went madly red flying to a distance where his redness could not be seen, atleast, not by human eyes but by cameras? They could see the whole thing.

"Awww, Crobat's blushing from Mawile's kiss!" Ty exclaimed in a child-like teasing tone "All caught on camera!" Crobat stared daggers at Ty before coming back down to a reasonable level. Everytime he looked at Mawile, his redness would return, slightly brighter than before. Crobat turned to his trainer, who gave him an encouraged wink to which the Bat pokemon went red to again. Ty recorded the whole thing before returning to the battle "Exploud, boomburst!" Exploud opened its mouth wide sending out a large wave of sound that made everyone, except Crobat and, of course, Exploud, cover their ears. Crobat's biggest worry was that the attack was going to hit Mawile, and hard. Not thinking twice, Crobat threw himself in front of Mawile taking the blow for himself as the waves of sound stopped. Mawile looked at Crobat wide eyed whilst the Bat pokemon could barely keep his open.

"C-Crobat…why…?"

"Ve-Vecause…" Crobat stuttered at first going slightly red again but recomposed himself standing up straight "Vi…VI vove vou!" Mawile looked in confusion causing Crobat to sigh "Vupid accent!" Crobat coughed pounding his chest with one of his wings "I love vou!" Crobat said again with confidence causing Mawile to go wide eyed again before wrapping her arms around the Bat pokemon's body bringing the two of them into a kiss to which Ty recorded all of it.

"I came into this expecting a battle! But now it's a love story! Even better!" Ty exclaimed as he kept his lens on the two pokemon. They both parted looking into each other's eyes, with Crobat's being poison purple and Mawile's being beautiful black, smiling before they both nodded and turned their attention back to the battlefield awaiting their next commands. Crobat confessing seemed to have given him enough strength to carry on. Both Brendan and May nodded to each other feeling the same as their pokemon.

"Crobat, wing attack/Mawile earthquake!" Brendan/May shouted as all four of Crobat's wings shone white as he flew at top speed towards Exploud, who was recovering from boomburst since it had tired out his voice, and smacked the Loud Noise pokemon making it scream in pain and tip over to the ground. Meanwhile, Mawile jumped high into the air, doing a flip, and then landing on the ground making the earth beneath her shake like mad. Cracks formed under Exploud's downed body and Magneton's steely body, that was four times weak to the attack, as they both screamed in pain and agony. Exploud had been knocked out but Magneton held on with sturdy.

"Magneton! One last attack! Zap cannon!" Gabby exclaimed at the top of her voice completely into the battle. Magneton created an electric ball that soon shot out a yellow wave of paralyzing electricity towards the two pokemon.

"Crobat, block it with protect!" Brendan countered as Crobat created a shield around himself and Mawile protecting them from the electric type attack. Brendan nodded to May who smirked in return.

"Mawile, jump over the barrier and use focus blast!" May commanded as Mawile jumped high into the air with a white orb in her hands to which she threw directly at Magneton at incredible speed.

"Magneton! Get out of there!" Gabby ordered her pokemon worriedly but, as Magneton tried to dodge, all that came out was a pain as it was hit by the super effective fighting type attack causing it to fall to the ground. Mawile landed gracefully panting heavily as her now boyfriend, Crobat, walked to her side.

"Vhat vas simply amvazing, Mawile!" Crobat complimented just before Mawile returned to her regular form "Aww, I viked vour mega vorme…"

"What? I'm not simply dazzling now?!" Mawile retorted playfully but Crobat didn't catch on and began to splutter out words that no normal person could understand. Mawile shut him up with a kiss on the lips "No need to get flustered, Cro." Mawile giggled slightly "It was a simple joke!" Crobat wiped the sweat from his forehead with one of his wings just before he fell flat on his face with exhaustion to which Mawile giggled again. Meanwhile, Brendan and May had met Gabby and Ty in the middle of their imaginary battlefield.

"That was amazing, you two!" Gabby exclaimed "I've always wanted to get the chance to meet you two since I always hear about you from my co-workers!"

"Hey, it was more fun than I anticipated." Brendan stated "I'd be happy to do it again sometime."

"Plus, something absolutely beautiful had sprouted during it as well!" May squealed looking at Mawile and Crobat seeing Crobat face plant on the floor in exhaustion causing the four of them to laugh. Gabby stopped when she realized something.

"Ah!" Gabby suddenly exclaimed making the other three jump "Mind if I ask if you give a comment about our battle?" Both Brendan and May nodded in unison and Gabby squealed inside "YES! Let's see the girls hear about this!" May pulled Brendan back for a second and whispered something in his ear to which he smiled and nodded at. The two then came back towards Gabby and Ty, with the microphone in front of them and said:

"Which mouth did Crobat kiss? You decide, viewers!"


Seriously, answer it in the reviews. Stay tuned!

Oh! Almost forgot! My reply to user "Guest"'s ideas. Alright, here goes:

Showing everyone ten years from now? I was thinking the same with maybe Brendan and May having their own children since by that time, they would be around 30-ish.

Wally taking over Petalburg Gym? Funnily enough, I PMed an active reviewer, Defender31415, about the exact same idea. He/she decided that it was a good idea and I decided to stick with it.

Court Case For Norman? I'd have to do a lot of research into court cases since I don't have the faintest in that area (unless you're fine with writing a short analysis of the court case) so it may or may not happen.

3 DVD's? Yes. ALL OF MY YES! I, too, think that Norman deserves that kind of treatment after all that he's done. He always thought that he was ruining Brendan and Caroline's lives? NOPE! He just made the best things happen to them!

Norman goes insane? Sure? Why the hell not?!

If I'm missing anything in your review, feel free to tell me and call me an idiot for it. But, for now, I'll await your reply and more of your amazing ideas!
