Keitaro had always been a loyal Pidgeot, and at level 93 would sell well on the black market, only a master could stop such dealings. Mai had 3 badges; the star badge from Teiroon City, the Flare badge from Areftin City, and the Mystic badge from Heitoru City But she needed 5 more before she could enter the league. She opened her pokedex and started listing.

"There are many badges," the computerized voice began, "ranging in difficulty from the Boulder badge in Nivi City to the Earth badge in Viridian."

"What can I get with a water?" Mai demanded, impatiant.

"The Fire pokemon on Cinnibar Island and the rock pokemon in Nivi city would be at a disadvantage. The thunder and Ranbow badges in Vermillion and Celadon would be a challenge.."

"Shut up! I got it, off to Nivi City then." She shielded her eyes and looked west towards a nearby peak, "It's not out of the Celestial mountains," she snapped her mouth shut, realizing she was talking to a machine. She leaned against a tree and watced, as the sun set behind Mt. Moon.
