Authors note: I know it's a little short but it's the best I can do in examination time.

Reflection: So far we have seen Clair, a gym leader wanna-be receive her first Pokemon and watch a Poke League battle, what else will happen?

Clair walked away from the stadium, as she was already bored with Leon vs. Potter and flipped open the Johto League textbook from the academy at Mahogany City, she flipped to the battles section.

"The Pokemon league hosts of 20 rounds, the round on the fire, electricity, dark and flying stadium, rounds 6-17 and then the quarter-finals, semi-finals and the finals deciding the winner who would get to battle last year's master to claim the title of Pokemon Master," she read, "It requires 6 badges to compete in the league being the ones at Cherry-grove, Violet, Goldenrod, Olivine, Mahogany and Blackthorn."

She strolled away from the stadium and eventually back to the Pokemon gym where a fierce battle was going on from deputy leader Charlie Oak and a trainer named Daniel, Clair watched it just to gain experience.

"Dragonair go!" Charlie called.

"Pidgeot, I want you!" the opposing trainer yelled, "Whirlwind attack!" The large bird swooped down creating a fierce wind that caused a tornado in the pond that Dragonair was in. "Dragonair ice beam! Freeze it and then a simple zap-cannon should finish it!"

Dragonair froze the bird in mid-air and shot a huge bolt of electricity, finishing it.

Clair smiled and walked back to her room, she was tired of watching her mother battle, she wanted to go there herself, to be a master, a Pokemon Master, she didn't see why not.

A tingle of excitement crept over her, before she even knew it, she had packed her backpack and was already running out of the gym for Violet City through the Oak forest.

Clair had heard rumors that the forest would be cut down to make way for a man-made cave to Violet but it wouldn't be cut down for another 15 years, she threw her Pokeball, "Horsea! I choose you!" "Horsea!" sang the baby dragon. "Horsea, I've started my Pokemon journey, are you willing to come with me?" asked Clair. Horsea nodded. "Good, cause we're starting training now! Horsea water gun that tree over there!"

Horsea glanced at a huge tree nearby and shot her water gun at full blast at the tree. Clair had read somewhere that firing water guns would train up the Pokemon's accuracy.

"Horsea! Shot your water gun at all the trees, one by one!" commanded Clair. Each of the trees was hit with an equally strong blast of water. Fifteen minutes later, Horsea finally stopped. "Shoot your smoke-screen at the tree over there!" Horsea shot smoke at the tree blinding the Pidgey that were on the tree for about 5 minutes. "Hmmm, pretty good." Actually, Clair was impressed at the speed and accuracy of Horsea.

The rest of the day, they trekked south-west for Violet through the huge forest when she suddenly heard, "I challenge you to a Pokemon battle."

Clair spun around holding Horsea before she noticed a young teen holding an ultra ball glare at her. "I am Clair of Blackthorn and I accept your challenge of a one to one battle."

The teen threw the ultra ball, nodding, "Go Swinub!"

Clair replied, "Horsea, I choose you!" The two Pokemon faced each other as Clair called, "Bubble its face!" Horsea shot tiny bubbles at Swinub's face, confusing it for a second before firing a water gun.

Swinub shot a thunder wave back, which paralyzed Horsea giving it them to pound Clair's dragon. "Water gun attack!" called Clair as Swinub promptly fainted.

The young man bowed, "You have beaten me fair and square, I am Pryce of Mahogany City." "Well, good morning." "Do you mind if I come along on your journey." Pryce said.

Clair was taken by surprise that this Pryce wanted to come with her less than an hour since than they had met nut she just shrugged and said, "Fine."

An hour later, the trio were already half way to Violet City. There was a fork-road and the signs read, "North, Violet City, 10 miles," and "East, Cherrygrove City, 15 miles."

"Cherrygrove is a lot further than Violet! I'm heading for Violet!" announced Clair.
