Well, I was typing this at midnight so please excuse grammatical and spelling mistakes. Anyways, Gallade unrealistically took down Owen's entire team (which will be explained far later), he couldn't stop Maxie and Archie from getting the Red and Blue orbs, and the group is now in Sootopolis city! All of Owen's Hoenn rivals will be in Sootopolis too, so there you go… um… yeah. And thanks for reviewing guys/girls! And this is strictly a filler btw

"Alright. Yup. Uh-huh. OK. Thirty minutes? Great! OK, bye." Owen ended his phone call on his PokeGear and he walked outside of the Pokemon center and into the beautiful city of Sootopolis. The water in the streets reflected brightly, the sidewalks glistened, and there were so many buildings.

"That Gallade…" Owen pondered over his battle with Archie and how his Gallade managed to defeat all of his Pokemon without fainting. In fact, Gallade may have gotten hit four times tops! Sceptile slowly limped his way out of the Pokemon center and towards his trainer.

"Owen, are you OK?" Owen turned to see Alice, Andy, and Lillian all standing with Sceptile as they watched the youngest of the group detach himself from everything happening in the city at the moment.

"Yeah. I'm just thinking." Sceptile read Owen like a book and he shook his head disappointedly. Being defeated by the same opponent twice is just flat out embarrassing! Owen didn't feel the same way, but he was still in shock about how one Pokemon could take down a team full of powerful Pokemon like his.

"So, is he on the way?" Andy asked, trying to get off of the previous topic. Owen's head shot up and he nodded happily. "So you're taking on the gym leader, today?" Andy asked with extreme emphasis on the word today.

"No! Not at all. I'm probably just going to train for a few days."

"With who?" Lillian interrogated.

"Them," Owen said as he pointed across the water. Brendan, May, Brian, and Quinn were all heading towards the other group of four.

"Owen! Long time no see!" Brendan exclaimed as the group of rivals made their way successfully across the water.

"I know right? How have you guys been?" Brendan was the first to speak up, as usual.

"Well I just won my seventh gym badge, but I've been beaten by this city's gym leader twice!"

"This would be my seventh gym badge, and then I'm going back to Mosdeep city so that I can finally beat Liza and Tate!" May chanted.

"I've been trying to find some new Pokemon to catch before the league, but I still have to get my eighth gym badge from Winona," Brian told his rival.

"Personal stuff," Quinn concluded rather quickly. She took out er badge case and showed everyone that she had all eight badges. Owen didn't like how she was ahead of him in terms of number of badges, just because he never wanted to lose to a rival.

"I have a good idea! Why don't we all battle each other?" Owen suggested.

"Alright! Let's do it!" Brian shouted happily with Brendan.

"Maybe some other time, I still need to shop," May replied.

"And I still have to deal with some stuff," Quinn added. Owen nodded, causing the two girls to leave and for the three guys to head over to the back of the Pokemon center.

"OK, so how are we going to do this?" Brendan questioned.

"We could have a one vs one vs one. Yeah, let's do that!" Brian cheered as he supported his own idea. "Rina!" Brian's Lucario stood in front of him and bowed to her two opponents.

"Manectric, let's do this!" Owen shouted. Manectric appeared and he stared at the foreign aura Pokemon. Brendan was the last to call out his Pokemon, which was unusual because he was quick to jump the gun.

"Go, Grumpig!" A strange pig-like Pokemon appeared. It stood on its hind legs, and it had a spring like tail.

"Grumpig, the Manipulate Pokemon. Grumpig use their spring like tails to jump away from predators." All three trainers stood in a triangle with their Pokemon in front of them.

"Rina, use Bone Rush on Manectric!" Rina sprinted forwards with a light blue energy staff and she try smacking Manectric with it.

"Manectric, dodge it and then use Thunder Wave!" Manectric dodge a series of swings and then he zapped the foe Pokemon, paralyzing Rina. "Now use Spark!" Manectric covered himself in yellow electricity, and then he slammed into Rina, knocking the fighting and steel type backwards.

"Grumpig, use Psywave on Manectric!" Grumpig shot a rainbow colored beam of energy that pushed Manectric towards Owen. The electric type Pokemon looked a bit angry that he was being ganged up on, but he didn't think that he could lose.

"Manectric, use Thunderbolt on Grumpig!"

"Rina, use Force Palm on Grumpig!" Grumpig's eyes shot open wide when a powerful bolt of electricity flew right passed its head, and then Rina appeared and placed her palm on Grumpig's stomach. Rina's palm began to glow yellow, and then Grumpig was launched into the air by the powerful yet not very affective attack.

"Grumpig, use Hyper Beam on Rina!" Grumpig's nose flashed white, and then it fired a Hyper Beam at Rina.

"Manectric, use Thunderbolt on Hyper Beam!" BOOOM!

"Rina, use Close Combat on Manectric!" Rina then jumped forward and landed a barrage of punches and kicks on Manectric who was being beaten on. Owen winced as the yellow and neon dog was punched towards him.

"Grumpig, use Confusion on Rina!" Rina was hit by a swift red ray that was fired out of Grumpig's eyes. Manectric struggled to his feet and so did Rina. All three Pokemon battling were visibly exhausted and were on their last limb.

"Spark!/Double Edge!/Force Palm!" All three Pokemon ran towards one another and before anyone could prepare, there was an enormous explosion that sent all three Pokemon flying into their trainers. Each of them had swirls for eyes, and were withdrawn to their own individual Pokeball.

"Wow! That was awesome!" Brendan screamed excitedly. Owen and Brian nodded in agreement as they tried recovering from the righteousness of their one vs one vs battle.

"Let's do it when we get to the Ever Grande Conference," Brian stated as he stuck his hand out.

"Yeah!" Owen and Brendan agreed in unison as all three trainers broke out like a sports team.

"But let's just get our badges first."


This was way shorter than previous chapters, but I couldn't think of anything to do before the gym battle, which will take place next chapter! Who will be the Sootopolis city gym leader? Find out next time! Till then, peace out.
