The next morning, Annika woke up rested and suspiciously didn't hear any noise. Espeon was still curled up next to her like always, so she figured Rebeckah and Robbie were still sleeping. She rolled over, and began to hear voices outside.

"Veronica, they had an Espeon!"

"It doesn't matter, Vin. We're going to get their Espeon and give it to the boss, as with the rest of the Pokemon."

"Are you sure this is a good idea? That Espeon was strong!"

"KINGLER!"

Annika knew her Kingler had woken up and was proceeding to scare the intruders away like he was supposed to. But where was Meganium and Farfetch'd?

"Meganium meg meg!"

"Far far farfetch'd!"

The pair were behind her tent planning their attack. "Guys, split up and scare them from both sides. Then I'll send Espeon to finish the job."

"Meganium."

"Farfetch'd."

And then the pair disappeared, and soon she heard a screech as the pair saw the other two Pokemon appear.

"Espeon, psychic!"

"Espe!!"

And soon, for the second day in a row, Vin and Veronica had been scared off, and Robbie and Rebeckah had been woken up.

"It was Vin and Veronica," Annika told them as she sat down infront of their dead fire, Espeon curling up infront of her. "You were right about them showing up again, Robbie."

"I knew I would be," Robbie said as he sat next to her. "Today I think we should continue on towards Azaelea Town. There's not much around here besides Venonat Village."

"There's a small town about five miles down this path called Tyrouge Town," Rebeckah said as she pointed down the path. "There is a fighting Dojo there with Tyrouge and Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan and Hitmontop.... There is a huge breeding center there dedicated to just Tyrouge, too."

"That would be a nice stop," Annika said as she stood up and walked over to her tent. "I really want another Eevee, but just seeing fighting Pokemon would be excellent, indeed. Maybe to get some skills for my Pokemon."

"There is a town about five miles after that called Butterscotchville, and they have a really cool sumo tournament that should be starting on Saturday, and today is Wednesday," Rebeckah continued on. "You're Meganium and Kingler and Quagsire could enter, Annika. They meet the weight requirement."

"Interesting," Annika replied. "I think it would be a good experience for my Pokemon to participate in that kind of tournament, and my Pokemon do need to train for anything, too. Maybe I can find a fighting Pokemon of my own there. I need some other types besides normal, grass, water, ground, and psychic."

"Butterscotchville, huh?" Robbie said as he thought for a moment. "Oh, yeah. My dad had a Ursaring he traded to get Mr. Mime, and before he had the Ursaring it won that competition about seven years ago."

"Cool," Rebeckah said as she picked up Venonat. "My cousin Holly lives in Butterscotchville, and she is training her Scyther for that competition. Her mom has a Slowking in the competition, and her father last year's winning Larvitar and a Ursaring."

"He has a Larvitar?" Robbie said with goggling eyes.

"Yeah, my uncle has a Larvitar which he is training to evolve into a Pupitar before the competition," Rebeckah said as she picked up Venonat. "He's my mom's brother, and he had a Venomoth himself but moved to Butterscotchville to train his Ursaring to sumo wrestle, when he found Larvitar in the mountains that surround Butterscotchville."

"That is so neat," Annika said as she stroke Espeon like she always did. "Maybe I can win the competion."
