Chapter 2: Meet Rui; the Girl with a Strange Power

The trio had arrived at Phenac City. He parked his motorbike outside the walls, got off, and started to enter the city with Espeon and Umbreon following him. At the entrance the trainer saw the same two suspicious guys carrying the bag into the city.

"Hey quit squirming in there, you're making this harder for us." The guy with the blond hair said.

"Ugh, you creeps let me go!" A voice shouted from inside the bag.

"Hey you be quiet now." The other guy with the weird hat said. "We'll let you out once we-" They noticed that Wes and his Pokemon were standing there the whole time and they dropped the bag.

"Oh crud, he's been watching us!" The weird hat man panicked.

"What's in that bag of yours?" Wes asked calmly.

"That's none of your business!" The blond haired man shouted. "You should know better than to poke your nose into other people's business. Now you're going down!"

"Fine by me." Wes said. "Umbreon and Espeon, you guys ready?"

Wes vs Folly

Vs. Wild Pokemon (Kanto) - Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver

The two Pokemon nodded and came on to the battlefield. The blond haired guy named Folly tossed out his Poke balls and summoned two round purple creatures called Whismur, and this time Wes got the first turn.

"Espeon use Reflect, Umbreon Bite attack!" Wes commanded.

"Espe" Espeon created a barrier around itself and Umbreon to raise their defenses.

"Umbreee-OOON" Umbreon ran to one of the Whismurs and bit it, then returned to its side of the field.

"Whismur use Pound!" Folly shouted. One Whismur flinched due to the bite attack while the other Whismur came running up to Espeon ready to attack.

"Dodge it and use Return!" Wes reacted quickly.

Espeon avoided Whismur's attack and then ran up to it and inflicted major damage on Whismur.

"Umbreon finish off that Whismur you attacked with Secret Power!" The trainer ordered.

Umbreon charged up a beam and fired at the Whismur. The Pokemon took the hit and it fainted.

"Nooo my Whismur!"Folly cried and recalled it back. He looked at the other Whismur and shouted "Use Pound again!"

Whismur attacked again and this time landed a hit on Espeon.

"Confusion!" Wes ordered.

Espeon landed the final hit on Whismur with its psychic powers and the Whismur collapsed. Folly recalled it back to its Poke ball.

Battle ends

Music stops

"Dang it!" Folly muttered angrily. "How did this guy win so easily?!"

Two nearby citizens, a woman in a pink suit and an athlete who was running around the fountain, came over to see what the commotion was.

"Hey what's going on?" The woman asked.

"Uh-oh this isn't good. Come on Folly, let's get out of here!"

With that, Folly and his partner ran off leaving the sack behind. The athlete and the woman looked at the sack; they noticed that it was moving.

"HELP HELP! Is someone there? Anybody!" The person cried out from inside.

"Don't worry, we'll get you out." The athlete responded.

Wes came over and managed to undo the knot on the sack, and soon after, a sixteen year-old girl emerged. Now this girl, her hair was tied up in pigtails and she wore a nice blue jacket, a blouse, a skirt, and pink boots.

"Phew, I'm free. I was beginning to think I'd never get rescued." The pig tailed girl said.

Dendemille Town - Pokemon X & Y

She looked around and asked "Where am I?"

"This is the peaceful town of Phenac City." The woman replied. "That man over there saved you from those thugs."

"Really?" The pig tailed girl looked at Wes who stood there with Espeon and Umbreon beside him.

"Yeah, wish you could've seen it. He fought those guys like there was no tomorrow." The athlete replied.

"What happened, how did you get captured?" The woman asked.

The pig tailed girl thought for a moment before responding. "Well...I don't know how to explain this...but I was in Pyrite Town and I saw these...really strange Pokemon."

The woman and the athlete looked at each other in confusion, and then back at the girl.

"Strange Pokemon huh?" The athlete replied.

"Not sure what that means but it doesn't sound good. Perhaps you should go see the Mayor, he might know something about it." The woman suggested.

The pig tailed girl nodded and started to leave but then she stopped and looked at Wes.

"Excuse me mister...umm would it be alright if I came with you?" She asked. "I know this is sudden but...I-I'm a bit scared that those thugs might come back...and since I don't have any Pokemon of my own well..."

Wes looked at Umbreon, who pointed one of his front legs at the girl and it nodded his head. It was as if Umbreon was telling him that bringing the girl along was a good idea. Wes looked back at her and smiled, "Okay, you can tag along if you want."

The girl smiled and said "Oh thank you."

"So where is it, the Mayor's house?" Wes asked.

The woman pointed straight ahead and responded "Just go right up those stairs there and then go left."

"Right then." Wes nodded, and the pair headed off with Espeon and Umbreon following them.

"What's your name by the way?" The trainer asked the girl.

"Oh...m-my name?" The girl felt a little bit shy around Wes but she managed to introduce herself.

"It's Rui...and you are...?"

"The name's Wes." The trainer replied. They paused for a moment so that Wes could introduce her to his Pokemon. "And these are my partners, Umbreon and Espeon."

"Umbre-Umbreon" "Espeeon" The two Pokemon greeted her.

"Hehe hello there, nice to meet you both." Rui giggled. She bent down and stroked Espeon's fur and the Sun Pokemon purred.

As Wes and Rui and the Pokemon made their way to the Mayor's house, Rui looked around and admired the place. Phenac City was a beautiful town with lots of clean water flowing around. The town was surrounded by the walls to keep out the harsh winds of the desert. Some of the citizens just walked around outside while others had their Pokemon out and were training them.

Soon they reached the Mayor's house. The door opened up and an evil-looking man with long wavy hair and weird purple outfit came walking out.

"Hmm...you appear to be a Pokemon Trainer yes?" The man said looking at Wes. "I can tell by the way you look. I have a feeling we'll be seeing each other again someday."

The man walked off and then Wes and Rui went inside.

Es Cade's Theme - Pokemon Colosseum

The Mayor was sitting at the desk when he saw them come in; he got up and walked over to them.

"Hello hello, welcome to my office." The Mayor happily greeted them. "I am Es Cade, the Mayor of Phenac City. I haven't seen you folks around here before so you must be new here. If there's anything I can do for you please tell me and I shall do what I can to help."

Wes thought that he seemed pretty jolly for a Mayor but for some reason Espeon and Umbreon, who were standing beside their trainer, growled at the Mayor.

Rui spoke up and said "I wanted to ask if you knew anything about these weird Pokemon."

"Whatever do you mean?" Es Cade inquired.

"Well, they're Pokemon that are surrounded by dark aura and they're dangerous. I saw one in Pyrite Town and that's when I got captured by two thugs." Rui explained.

Wes gasped after hearing what she just said and thought (So that's it. She must be the girl that can see the black aura that guy Folly mentioned before. No wonder they were after her.)

"I see, that does sound frightening. Unfortunately I know nothing about these pokemon." Es Cade said.

"But it's true, I saw it with my own eyes really." Rui said more urgently.

Wes looked at Espeon and Umbreon who continued growling at Es Cade. They looked as if they were getting ready to attack but Wes put his hand out to stop his Pokemon before they could do anything.

"Easy there guys, we'll handle this." Wes told them.

"Very well then, I'll start investigating this right away." Es Cade said. "In the meantime, you should go check out the Phenac Stadium. It is the highlight of our town where lots of Pokemon Trainers go to participate in the tournaments."

"Thank you very much Mr. Mayor." Rui happily replied. "Come on Wes, let's head over to the Stadium."

Wes responded "Alright well, see you later then." Then they went out the door (with Espeon and Umbreon following them of course) and went to the Phenac Stadium.

And I think I'll end it off here. Hope you guys enjoyed it.
