Hey guys, hope you enjoyed the last chapter of Pokémon: Hoenn Roads. Now here's a second helping.

Narrator: Having just started his journey to the Hoenn League and left his hometown of Oldale Town, our young hero Toby is off to Petalburg City, along with his very first Pokemon Eevee.

"This is amazing. I still can't believe I've got my very own Pokémon. And an Eevee no less" Toby said while holding up Eevee's Poké Ball in his hand. "I'd like to see what you can do. Eevee, come on out" Toby opened up the Poké Ball, releasing the Pokémon inside.

"Eevee!" the Pokémon said its name as it was released from the Poké Ball.

"Let's see what the Pokédex says about you" Toby said, taking out the Pokédex given to him by Professor Birch.

Pokédex: Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon. Eevee is a unique Pokémon that can adapt to its environment by changing its form and abilities when evolving.

"And it says here at your level that you know Tackle, Tail Whip, Growl, and Sand Attack. We'll have to test those out if we ever run into a wild Pokémon" Toby said. "I think it's time for a little lunch. What do you say, Eevee?"

"Eevee, Eve!" the Pokémon agreed in excitement.

Toby walked over and sat down in the grass next to a nearby tree. Scrounging around through his bag, he took out a Pokémon bowl, a bag of Pokémon food, and a pack of meat-filled rice balls.

"Wow, mom sure did plan ahead" Toby said as he poured Eevee's food into its bowl. Eevee began to gobble down its food soon afterwards. Toby grabbed one of his rice balls, poured some sweet and sour sauce on it, and took a bite out of it. It was bursting with flavor. "Oh man mom's a good cook" Toby commented, popping the rest of the rice ball into his mouth.

He was about to grab another one when a figure came from out of nowhere and nabbed out from under him.

"What the-?" Toby looked at the place where his rice ball used to be, seeing that it had gotten stolen. He turned to see what took his food. The creature that took it was a Pokémon. It was a gray and black dog-like Pokémon with a red nose, yellow sclera, and red irises. "Is that what I think it is?" Toby pulled out his Pokédex.

Pokédex: Poochyena is an omnivore - it will eat anything. A distinguishing feature is how large its fangs are compared to its body. This Pokémon tries to intimidate its foes by making the hair on its tail bristle out.

"Poochyena? How dare you take my food!" the young trainer pointed at the little Pokémon in judgement.

Poochyena, however, tossed the rice ball into its mouth and swallowed it in one bite, chuckling at Toby in mockery. Toby face became red with rage.

"Oh, that is it. Eevee, prepare for combat!" he commanded his starter Pokémon.

Eevee stood in front of its trainer and stared down the Poochyena before it, the opposing Pokémon doing the same. There was a brief pause between the two, the wind blowing lightly as they prepared for battle.

"Eevee, use Tackle!" Toby shouted.

Eevee charged at Poochyena and hit it head first in the chest. This caused Poochyena to tumble backwards before doing a flip and landing on its feet. Poochyena countered by charging at Eevee, and then smacking it in the face with its tail.

"Eevee, use Sand Attack, and then follow up with Tackle!" Toby commanded.

Eevee used its back legs to kick up dust. This caused Poochyena to be temporarily blinded, which gave Eevee the chance tackle it in chest for a second time. Unlike last time though, this time Poochyena was sent flying into a nearby tree.

"Now's my chance" Toby thought to himself. The young trainer then took a Poké Ball from his pocket. "Poké Ball, GO!" he shouted as he tossed the ball at the dazed Pokémon.

The ball bounced off Poochyena's head and opened up. It was then enveloped in a red light which sucked it into the Poké Ball. As the ball fell to the ground it rocked back and forth. Now was the moment of truth…

Toby's eyes widened as a smirk crept upon his face. "YES! I caught… a Poochyena!" he said happily, holding the Poké Ball up to the sky with success. "Wow, it hasn't even been a day I've already caught my first Pokémon" Toby said, looking at the Poké Ball in his hand.

The young trainer put the newly caught Poochyena's Poké Ball into his pocket. He then took out Eevee's Poké Ball and pointed it at said Pokémon, but then had a second thought.

"Eevee, do you want to go inside your Poké Ball or be an outside Pokémon? Scratch the ground once for Poké Ball, twice for outside" he told it. Eevee scratched the ground twice. "Well, there's my answer"

Toby held out his ran and Eevee ran up it to sit upon his shoulder. He had read articles about some trainers letting their Pokémon travel with them outside of their Poké Balls. One trainer in particular he read about was kid from the Kanto region who owned a Pikachu. But this wasn't that kid's journey, it was Toby's.

"We should head to the Pokémon center. I know you didn't take much damage, but it's better to be safe than sorry" Toby told his Eevee.

-Petalburg City-

It was a long a tedious walk, but Toby and Eevee had managed to arrive at Petalburg City. There actually was that much distance between Oldale Town and Petalburg City, but it was very annoying for anyone who had no choice but to walk. That aside though, Toby was now able to restore his Pokémon to full health, having found the Pokémon Center.

"Here you go, Toby. Your Pokémon have made a full recovery" Nurse Joy said, handing the young trainer his Pokémon.

"Thanks, Nurse Joy" Toby took Poochyena's pokéball and Eevee from the nurse. "Come on out, Poochyena!" Toby tossed Poochyena's pokéball into the air.

"Poochyena!" the dog-like Pokémon barked as it was released from its pokéball.

"Ok, now, let's see what moves you know" Toby said as he pulled out his podédex. "Hmm. Says here you know Tackle, Howl, Thunder Fang" he said as he looked at the list of moves his Poochyena currently, "You must be a special Poochyena if you know Thunder Fang"

"Did I hear you say you have a Poochyena with Thunder Fang?" Toby heard a voice behind him. He turned around to see a kid. "That's so cool! How about a battle?" the kid asked.

"Sure, why not?" Toby said with a shrug.

Moments later the two were in a nearby field preparing for battle.

"Let's each use 2 Pokémon!" The kid said, "Go Tailow!" he shouted, releasing a small bird Pokémon.

"Go Poochyena!" Toby said, sending out his first catch.

"Tailow, Tackle!" the kid shouted. With that, the Normal/Flying-Type charged towards the dark-type.

"Dodge and use Howl!" Toby ordered. Poochyena obeyed, dodging before howling, raising its attack. "Now, Thunder Fang!" After that Poochyena's teeth became cloaked in electricity, and he charged before biting down on Tailow. Thanks to its enhanced attack that was all it took and tailow fainted. "Great work, Poochyena!" Toby said praising the bite Pokémon. "Go on, send out your next Pokemon" Toby looked at the kid.

"Alright. Go Zigzagoon!" the kid said, sending out a small brown and white raccoon like Pokémon with zig-zag patterns all over its fur.

"In that case… Poochyena Return!" Toby shouted before recalling the Dark-type, "It's your time to shine, Go Eevee!" He said, releasing the alternate colored Evolution Pokémon that stepped out from beside him.

"WHOAH! A shiny Eevee?!" The kid shouted in surprise.

"That's right" Toby nodded. "Eevee, use Tail Whip!" Toby said, Eevee responding by wagging its tail at the normal-type, lowering its defense stat.

"Zigzagoon use tackle!" The kid shouted, causing his Pokémon to charge at Eevee.

"Sand Attack!" Eevee quickly countered by kicking sand in its eyes, causing it to falter, lowering its accuracy, "Now Tackle!" Eevee then charged with its own tackle sending the opponent flying, "Now Growl!" Eevee then let out it's sound based attack, intimidating zigzagoon, lowering its attack, "Now, one last Tackle!" Eevee then charged once more, sending it flying and causing it to faint, resulting in Toby's victory. "All right, great job Eevee!" Toby said praising his partner Pokémon. "Not bad, kid. though you might want to train your Pokémon a bit more" Toby commented.

After the battle, Toby bent down to Eevee, patted its head and said, "Excellent work, Eevee." To which the evolution Pokémon cried out in appreciation.

"Eevee" the Pokémon repeated its name.

Meanwhile, not far from the battlefield, a young 10-year-old brunette girl with shoulder length hair in a ponytail, wearing a pink vest, a white t-shirt, a blue jean skirt and sneakers.

"Wow," The girl said, "That trainer with the shiny Eevee is pretty impressive, and it's nice to finally see a trainer with a shiny Pokémon, right Ralts?" She asked the nearby Feeling Pokémon who, unlike most Ralts who have green hair and red horn-like attachments, this one had light blue hair and orange horns.

"Ralts!" The Psychic/Fairy-Type shouted in excitement.
