Episode:2 Ruby's First Step

"Ruby Rose is currently on her way to her first Gym Badge with her trusty Axew, but they decided to have some needed rest. Not noticing something spying on them."

(Play XYZ (Let's Go) by Pokemon)

Ruby was running in a large plain with Axew on her hoodie as a clumsy blonde ran with her with a chubby bear like Pokemon, and tanned boy riding a bull like Pokemon as the three of them ran to the sun rise.

"Hey! Just like the morning sun shining upon Kalos

(Rush in hot like a Flame Charge)"

Ruby was on a cliff as she watched the setting sun with her Axew seating beside her, and a ghostly image watches her with a smile.

"Come on! Just head on as we're ready anytime

(Be a Protean Mold Breaker)"

The clumsy blonde was studying with the bear like Pokemon eating on a rock while the tanned boy is washing the bull Pokemon, and Ruby and Axew were on a tree as an ominous glow surrounds the both of them.

"Our overlapping feelings synchronize

As they become our unfading bonds

Growing stronger until the end

If it's just us, woh woh woh yeah..."

It then showed Ruby and Weiss battling with each other with Ruby using Axew and Weiss using a snow fox Pokemon.

"Let'z go!! The fiercely burning battle

Let'z go!! Crises are chances

Let'z go!! Do a Reversal

Absolutely never giving up

We're never giving up"

The trio then stood with each other in a shadowy place, as a pair of glowing red eyes looked at them like they were insects, but they didn't deter.

"Hey! No matter what obstacles get in our way

(Always go for broke)

Come on! Gripping on to the Victory Star

(With a Steadfast heart)"

The blonde is in a battlefield as his trusty partner battled hordes of Pokemon, and his partner glowed and transformed to a much larger bear.

"Because no matter when

Our hearts are connected

I'll get up every time

If I'm just with you"

The tanned boy is riding the bull like Pokemon like a knight battling for his kingdom.

"Let'z go!! Formidable rivals

Let'z go!! Decide with a one-hit knockout

Let'z go!! I absolutely can't lose

Because my heart is here with me

Because my dreams are within me"

Qrow is riding a large crow that resembles like a knight with a young blonde girl followed him on an orange dragon and brown haired fashionista riding a metallic creature with four arms in a V formation.

"Let'z go!! Whether it's victory or the pain of defeat

Let'z go!! We'll share them altogether

Let'z go!! Friends by each other's side

We're never alone now"

Then eight shadowy figures look at Ruby in dominance, but Ruby ran at them with a determined smile.

"Let'z go!! The fiercely burning battle

Let'z go!! Crises are chances

Let'z go!! Do a Reversal

Absolutely never giving up"

A pair of glowing eyes looked at the screen till it brightened up more to a flash.

"Let'z go!! Holding tight to our dreams

Let'z go!! We're sure to get them

Let'z go!! Stretch out your hands

On to the sketched future

Up to the heights unknown"

Ruby is running with Axew on her hood along with five other Pokemons following her.

"Come on! Raise it up (1,000,000 Volts)

Alright! Let's face our fears and head on together

Towards the side beyond our unseen dreams"

Ruby then faced the audience with a smile and peace sign while Axew stood beside her, and eight differently shaped slots appeared behind her.


Ruby and Axew are sitting near their campsite, the campfire and tent ready, as both of them ate some apples they collected.

"This is good, not as good as cookies, but is still good," Ruby commented as she took another bite.

"Axew," Axew agreed as she took her own bite on the tasty fruit.

They then heard rustling on the bushes as they jump in fright, and prepared themselves for battle.

Then out of the bushes is is a bipedal, rosebud-like Pokémon. Its face is yellow with small, slit-like eyes. It appears to be wearing a green bib, and has triangular, stubby yellow feet. One vine has a blue spot, while the other has a red spot.

And it appears to be in pain as Ruby rushed at the poor thing, and tended its wounds.

"Hey Axew can you get the Potions, its in the left pocket," Ruby said as Axew nods and went to their tent.

Ruby then got her Pokedex out of her pocket and scanned it.

"Budew

The Bud Pokemon

Grass and Poison Type

The pollen it releases contains poison. If this Pokémon is raised on clean water, the poison's toxicity is increased." Her Pokedex said as she put it back.

"Axew do you have it yet!" Ruby called out.

"Axew!" Axew called out with a negative tone.

Unknown to the both of them, Budew opened one of its eyes with a mischievous smile, till closing it back with a hurt expression.

Minutes of waiting, Axew returned with a case of Potions as Ruby started to heal Budew, it took a few more minutes, but Budew was completely healed.

"There all better," Ruby said as Budew was good as new.

"Axew," Axew agreed.

Budew jump in happiness and faced them with a smile, but not a kind smile but a mischievous smile.

Budew opened its vines as yellow spores came out of it.

Ruby panicked and shouted, "Ah get away its Stun Spore!"

Both of them were about to run, but the spores already reached them as they lay on the ground twitching.

Budew then ran to Ruby's tent and snatched a jar which has the label says 'Ruby's Cookies'.

"N-No!" Ruby stuttered/yelled as Budew stuck out its tongue and ran off.


Hours later, Ruby and Axew are currently in the forest trying to find Budew with angry looks on their eyes.

They walked for hours, but can't seem to find it as their anger kept them unaware of their surroundings.

"Where are you thief!" Ruby yelled in anger as she couldn't forgive Budew from such an act, it just literally stole her cookies and gets away with it.

Unaware that they are being watched by four pairs of eyes.

"Axew," Axew called as she gestured to her belly.

"I know you're hungry Axew, but that Budew must be caught!" Ruby declared.

As she was about to take another step, both of them fell on a pit trap as they yelped in surprise.

Both of them could hear someone laughing as they saw who did it.

It was Budew along with three other Pokemons.

The first one is aprimarily purple, feline Pokémon. Its head has tufted fur on its ears and cheeks. There are long, tapered violet markings above its green, eyes. It has a diminutive black nose on its creamy muzzle, and a small, oval, cream-colored marking above each eye. Its neck, shoulders, back, and hind paws are also cream-colored. The tip of its tail has a curved, vaguely scythe-like extension.

The second one is a bipedal Pokémon with a dark purple body, armed with sharp teeth and claws. It has pale blue, gemstone-like eyes. It also has a red gemstone on its chest, and its back has a blue and green gemstone as well as another red one.

And lastly, the third one is a small fuchsia Pokémon with a large head, small body, and wiry limbs. Its hands have three fingers each while its feet don't have digits. Its face has a purple "mask", prominent pointed ears, large eyes with small pupils, a long nose with a single nostril, and a fanged mouth. The back of its head sports a tuft of hair that resembles a bat wing.

Ruby then got her Pokedex to scan the Cat Pokemon.

"Purrloin

The Devious Pokemon

Dark Type

It steals things from people just to amuse itself with their frustration. A rivalry exists between this Pokémon and Nickit." She then scanned the sceond Pokemon.

"Sableye

The Darkness Pokemon

Dark and Ghost Type

This Pokémon is feared. When its gemstone eyes begin to glow with a sinister shine, it's believed that Sableye will steal people's spirits away." Ruby then scanned the last one.

"Impidimp

The Wily Pokemon

Dark and Fairy Type

Through its nose, it sucks in the emanations produced by people and Pokémon when they feel annoyed. It thrives off this negative energy."

The four pranksters then laugh at her as Ruby was twitching in anger.

"Axew use Bite!" Ruby ordered as Axew was about to bite one of them, but Purrloin used Fake Out, followed by Impidimp's own Bite, and Sableye followed it with Scratch which sent her flying.

"Axew!" Ruby called out in distress as she caught Axew, but she was sent back by the impact.

The Dark Trio were about to attack again, but a metallic beam stopped their attack.

Ruby looked where it was and saw a young woman with tanned skin and violet eyes. Her light-blond hair is tied in a ponytail. She has a beauty mark under her right eye and another one on the left side under her mouth. She also wearing the same uniform as her uncle Qrow.

Beside the woman is a short, bipedal Pokémon with a pale yellow body and black arms and feet. Its legs have a thick, fur-like covering resembling a hakama or a skirt. Its most notable feature is a pair of large black jaws emerging from the back of its head. These jaws have an oval yellow spot on their top surface and contain ten pointed teeth - six on the top row and four on the bottom.

Ruby then scanned the Pokemon.

"Mawile

The Deceiver Pokemon

Steel and Fairy Type

It uses its docile-looking face to lull foes into complacency, then bites with its huge, relentless jaws." It said.

"Mawile use Fairy Wind," The woman ordered as Mawile called out its name, and breeze of glittering wind went pass it, and hit the four pranksters.

Ruby's conscious is slowly slipping away as she was tired from all of times, she embraced Axew protectively from any danger, and her last sight was the woman coming near her then she faints.


Ruby groggily opened her eyes and the first thing she saw is a wooden roof.

"So you're finally awake," Ruby jolt in surprise and she noticed she was in a bed, Axew was sleeping on a rug, and the woman is sitting on a chair.

"Uh yeah, thanks for rescuing me," Ruby said.

"Robyn Hill, Ranger around these parts of the forest, and I grabbed you stuff before we got here," The now named Robyn said as she went for a handshake.

"Ruby Rose," Ruby said as she took the offer.

"Nice to meet you Miss Rose, and I know you have many questions about the Budew," Robyn said.

"Yeah I do, how did it turned to a troublemaker?" Ruby asked as Robyn sighed.

"It all started when her trainer first got her from Professor Ozpin, yes she's a girl, her Trainer is so pampered that when she left Budew in her Pokeball for three days without food, Budew grew weaker, and when her Trainer tried to have a battle using Budew, she lost easily by two hits, and she blamed it all on Budew." Robyn explained as Ruby gasp.

"That's horrible," She said.

"You said it, but Budew gave a little payback by stealing all of her makeup, threw it in a river, destroyed her Pokeball so she can't be a part of her team, and ran away," Robyn said as Ruby laughed.

"I bet she's angry when Budew did that," Ruby said as Robyn nods.

"You bet, she went to my office about a 'crazy' Pokemon, she told me the 'problem' she had, but I arrested her for Pokemon Abuse and she tried to deny it," Robyn explained as she was pleased from the memory of the girls arrest.

"What about the other three?" Ruby asked.

"Oh those three, they were brought here in my area so I could look after them, but they are causing some troubles around, and they let Budew 'join' them," Robyn said as Ruby looked at her confused.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Budew only joined them in desperation, and the trio only let her join as bait,"

"What! You mean they are trying as a scapegoat!" Ruby yelled.

"Your words not mine, but I bet they are causing some mishaps right now and I need to save them again," Right on cue a large explosion was heard from the distance.

"Them?" Ruby asked.

"Them," They then ran outside as Axew got in Ruby's hood and got in a jeep.


They are closing in where the explosion occurred as Robyn park her jeep, and they went on foot.

There on the distance is Budew in real pain with the trio of Dark Types behind her scared, and a ferocious Pokemon stood in front of them.

It was a stocky, armored, Pokémon with four short legs. Its body is dark gray, and its eyes are sky blue. Its back is covered with segments of iron armor, each with a high ridge and round dark holes on the sides. The sides of its lower jaw have several flat protrusions, and two teeth are visible in its mouth. There are two pronged metal bands on its legs. The upper band is gray and the lower is silver.

Ruby took out her Pokedex and scanned it.

"Lairon

The Iron Armor Pokemon

Steel and Rock Type

Lairon tempers its steel body by drinking highly nutritious mineral springwater until it is bloated. This Pokémon makes its nest close to springs of delicious water." It said.

"They must've angered it from the nearby mountains," Robyn said.

Ruby could only guess that the Lairon did all the damage since she could tell that powerful blunt damage caused her injuries, and none of the three Dark Types doesn't have a single scratch on them. Meaning that they did use her as a meat shield.

Ruby was furious from the three as she looked at Axew and gave her nod.

Axew know what she meant and quickly went to Budew's side.

"Are you out of your mind! Axew doesn't have a single move that can damage it!" Robyn yelled.

"Trust me you don't see anything yet," Robyn then saw a blurry figure standing beside Ruby with a white hood and those very words echoed through her mind.

She smiled and thought, 'So it is her daughter.'

Lairon gave a mighty a roar as it charged at Axew with its head gave a metallic shine.

"Axew take it and hold it down!" Robyn looked stunned, but she saw Axew followed her command.

As Lairon hit Axew, the Tusk Pokemon didn't falter as she used Counter on it which sends it flying away to a tree knocked out.

"Well I could see it now," Robyn said as she raised her wrist, and on her arm is strange looking watch.

She pressed a button and on top of the watch is a small top. The top began to move on its own and spun around Lairon also leaving a white line behind. The top continued moving as Lairon is being surrounded, and the top finally stopped and returned to Robyn.

"Alright kid let me take care of the Lairon," She said.

Ruby nods as she then saw the three Dark Types talking to Axew casually, but she noticed Axew's angry look.

Axew went to Lairon and shook the knocked out Pokemon multiple times till the Iron Armor Pokemon finally woke up in pain.

"Axew," Axew said as she points at the three Dark Types that are now sweating as Lairon understood as it gave a mighty roar which scare of Purrloin and Impidimp, and it charged at Sableye with the same metallic shine and ram the Darkness Pokemon away.

"Axew," She said with a wave that signifies a thanks.

"Well you look at that, you are really a natural kid," Robyn said.

"Thanks," Ruby said as she glanced at Budew, who is having a face of betrayal, and walked to her. She kneeled down and said, "Budew are you alright?"

Budew looked at the hooded girl skeptically till she gives in with a sad cry of her name and a shook of her head.

Ruby looked to Robyn and said, "Can I borrow your medkit."

Budew was shocked from her words as she felt she didn't deserve it.

Ruby noticed Budew's mood as she approached her and hugged her in comfort, Budew felt more guilty as she accepted the hug as she felt more happier than normal, Axew saw this and joined the hug, and Robyn look at the seen with a smile.

Robyn then saw the sun setting as she looked at Ruby and said, "Kid you can heal Budew in my cabin, it's getting late."

"Okay," Ruby said as she carried Budew on her arms, and Axew climbed in her hoodie.

Then the two humans and three Pokemons began to walk back to the jeep.


They finally came back to Robyn's cabin as said blonde is taking care of Lairon with Mawile's help, and Ruby is taking care of Budew with Axew's help.

"Are you doing good kid?" Robyn asked as she polished Lairon's armor.

"Almost," Ruby answered as she puts the finishing touch on putting the bandages as she tied the bandage a little tightly, and she was done.

Budew tried it by moving her body a little and it was perfect.

Budew gave a smile to Ruby and said hooded girl smiled back.

"I will say it again, you ARE a natural kid," Robyn said.

"Well you can thank my dad for that since he always took care of me and my sister if we're got in an accident," Ruby said as she stood up and sat on one of the chairs in the room.

Axew followed suite by laying down on the same rug.

"Well young lady, I think your uncle might be right about you," Robyn said as Ruby was surprised.

"You know Uncle Qrow!" Ruby shouted as Robyn giggled.

"Well he's more of an associate than anything, we work together from time to time with another fellow Ranger, and he's quite a charmer I might say but too drunk," She said with an uneasy hand gesture.

"Well he's always like that," Ruby said.

"That he is," She said as she checked the clock, and said to Ruby. "Better go to be bed its pass 8."

"Okay," Ruby then grabbed her backpack to get her sleeping bag.

Axew heard this and helped Ruby while Budew went to the window as she looked outside.

"Night kid," Robyn said as she went to her bed with Mawile following her and Lairon went to a corner.

"Good night Robyn," Ruby then looked at Budew and said, "Good night Budew."

Budew ignored it as she gazed the starry skies as everyone went to sleep, and Budew finally felt to have some good sleep with a smile on her face.


The next morning, Robyn, Ruby, and the other Pokemon are outside the cabin as it was time for Ruby to leave.

Ruby hugged Robyn with a smile as the blonde returned the gesture.

"I hope you can see me win," Ruby said.

"If I have the chance to watch so good luck," Robyn said.

"So what about the two of them?" Ruby asked as she gestured to Lairon and Budew.

"Well Mawile here have a slight interest to Lairon here," She said as the Deceiver Pokemon blushed a little. "But I don't know what to do with Budew."

Ruby felt sad when she heard the news, but she saw Budew came close to her and snuggled her leg.

Robyn giggled a little in the scene and said, "I think Budew has some interest in you."

"Really Budew?" Ruby asked in surprise as Budew nod with a smile. Ruby felt happy as she hugged her and said," Thank you."

That is what Budew wants to hear as she began to glow with a brilliant light.

The light died down as from the spot where Budew was is a small, light green bipedal Pokémon. It has three thorns on top of its head, and it has black eyes with long eyelashes. Visible from the back is a small stretch of yellow coloration around its neck much like a collar. There are leaves extending from its shoulders like epaulettes. It has a leaf skirt with a yellow stripe running down the front. It holds a rose in each of its hands, a red one in its right and a blue one in its left. Ruby took out her Pokedex and scanned it.

"Roselia

The Thorn Pokemon

Grass and Poison Type

Its flowers give off a relaxing fragrance. The stronger its aroma, the healthier the Roselia is." It said.

Ruby then took out a Pokeball and said, "Ready?"

The now evolved Roselia nods as Ruby threw the Pokeball, and she jumped in the ball's path as she was hit and sucked inside.

The Pokeball gave a single shake,

then another,

then another,

and gave a small click.

Ruby grabbed the Pokeball as she raised it in the air like she won the lottery and declared, "Alright I caught a Roselia!"

"Axew!" The Tusk Pokemon joined in as she jumped in joy.

Robyn laughed a little as she again saw the figure beside Ruby.

"Well kid see you again next time," She said as Ruby began to leave.

"See you soon Robyn!" Ruby called out as she waved goodbye.

"You too kid!" Ruby then started running.

As she continued to run as she grabbed Roselia's Pokeball, and threw it into the air as the Thorn Pokemon was sent out and landed on Ruby's left shoulder.

"Ready?" Ruby asked as Roselia nods and Axew cheered from Ruby's hood, and they continued forth.

"And so, our heroine made her first step on becoming the Champion as she befriended a new ally for her team and made her change her ways, for a great adventure will come for her.

As the journey continues."
