Kenya was waiting for me. Just like she said she'd be. She was standing on the side of the Route 4 road. The light sandstorm hurt my eyes. Bianca followed me out to meet Kenya. Upon spotting us, Kenya immediately released Darumaka. I sent out Tirtuoga.

"Headbutt!" Kenya yelled. Darumaka charged at Tirtuoga.

"Aqua jet." Tirtuoga spun at Darumaka surrounded by a cone of water. Tirtuoga knocked Darumaka off track. "Water gun!" Tirtuoga shot a stream of water in Darumaka's face. Darumaka was knocked out. Kenya returned Darumaka and sent out Druddigon. Druddigon roared.

"Hyper beam!" Druddigon fired a beam of light at Tirtuoga.

"Protect!" Tirtuoga put up a barrier, blocking the beam. Druddigon lowered its head.

"Ancient power!"

"Druddigon, snap out of it!" Kenya yelled.

I'm tired! Quit complaining!

Tirtuoga raised several rocks and hurled them at Druddigon. Druddigon roared, stumbling backward. Kenya pushed on Druddigon's back.

"Do it! Use the move you learned! Use outrage!" Druddigon roared, its body emitting white smoke. Tirtuoga backed up, trembling.

"Tirtuoga—" Druddigon struck Tirtuoga with its claw, knocking it out instantly. Druddigon roared over and over, stomping around. I sent out Tranquill. "Fly up, get out of its reach!" Tranquill flew high above Druddigon's head. Druddigon shouldn't be able to use other moves while it's under the effects of outrage.

"Hyper beam!" Druddigon roared, firing a beam of light at Tranquill. Tranquill easily spun out of the way.

"How?"

"It's fake." Kenya noticed my confusion. "Druddigon's outrage is just letting out all of his pent up anger. In this state. None of your pokemon can beat him. Keep firing!" Druddigon fired hyper beam after hyper beam, taking a few seconds break between each blast. Tranquill kept dodging, waiting for a command.

"Steel wing!" If I couldn't beat Druddigon with brute force, I always had Munna. Munna was Druddigon's hard counter. Tranquill dropped towards Druddigon. Druddigon didn't fire. The smoke started coming off of Druddigon again.

"Scary face!" Kenya ordered. Druddigon hissed. Tranquill spiraled off course. "Now, smack down!" Druddigon jumped, reaching Tranquil instantly and smacked it down onto the pavement. Tranquill was knocked out. I took out Munna's pokeball. "Is it time for Munna yet?" Kenya smiled. "Go ahead, try it." I sent out Munna.

"Hypnosis!" Druddigon fell asleep and immediately woke up. Kenya laughed.

"You idiot! Druddigon was holding a chesto berry! Druddigon, use outrage!" Druddigon roared and slashed Munna with its claw. Munna took the hit, flying into the fence. Munna wasn't knocked out.

"Hypnosis, again!" Munna put Druddigon to sleep again. This time Druddigon didn't wake up.

"What?" Kenya screamed. "You can't just… Come on!" Munna floated over to Druddigon.

He's hurt. How?

"That fake outrage of yours, it hurts Druddigon. Doesn't it." I walked over to Druddigon. "It looks like he's almost done for." Kenya looked over at Druddigon and approached him.

"Kenya. I…"

"Can we travel together again?" Kenya blurted out. I blinked.

"Uh, sure."

"It gets so lonely by myself. I forgot how much I hated that."

"Yeah, I can understand that." Kenya patted Druddigon on the back. "You should get him to the pokemon center, he's really banged up." Kenya returned Druddigon.

"Do you want to hug?" Kenya held out her arms.

"No, not really."

"I'll hug you!" Bianca yelled from where I was standing. "Whatever your name is!" Kenya scowled.

"You already know my name!"

"I don't think you've ever introduced yourself to her," I said.

"You don't remember any better than she does," Kenya hissed.

"You keep saying that, what do you mean?"

"We all went to the trainer's school together! In Nuvema town! You, me, Bianca, Cheren, Celia, your brother and uh whatever that really tall guy's name was."

"Oh yeah?" I returned Munna. "That's cool I guess. I didn't know everyone I went to school with, though. No offense." Bianca grabbed Kenya and hoisted her into the air. I watched the two of them struggling for a few seconds before Kenya pulled free.

"What's wrong with you?" The three of us returned to Castelia city.
