"Hey you two, wake up!" yelled Ttocs, causing Ryan and Karen to yell and jump up in the air. The commotion they caused woke up all their pokémon sleeping around them.

"Okay, everybody FREEZE!" Everyone froze in place, either on the ground or in the air. "Better. Now recall your pokémon, get dressed, go get breakfast, and meet me at that tent over." Ttocs pointed to a tent, then walked off the hill, muttering about something like the day before.

"What a grouch." Ryan said to Karen as they walked to the tent an hour later. "I wonder what's bothering him?"

"Well, you can go and ask him." She pointed to Ttocs glaring at them both. Lance stood next to him; his expression was opposite of the grouch next to him.

"Good morning." Lance said, greeting Ryan and Karen. "I hope you had a good rest, because today you have to leave the valley." Ryan and Karen both shook their heads in agreement. "But I think it best that I assign Ttocs to go with you to get a little training of his own and visit the other cities.

"What?!" Ryan said as his jaw dropped to the ground. "He has to come with us?" Ttocs just looked away, trying not to laugh.

"Well, yes, if you don't mind." replied Lance. "I think that he could use the experience raising his pokémon and studying more about them. Now go on, it's time to go." he hurried as he started to push Ryan, Karen, and Ttocs to the mountain. As they neared the cave that lead to the interior of Mt. Moon, they turned around and waved at the scientists and the pokémon. Then they turned around and went inside.

----------------------------------------

"Clef clef clefairy clefaaiiry." chanted Clefairy as she skipped through tunnels and caverns trying to lead Ryan, Karen, and Ttocs out of the mountain. Ttocs walked a few feet back to write a few notes in his notebook, so Ryan and Karen talked in hushed whispers.

"This sucks." whispered Ryan through clenched teeth while glaring at Ttocs. "I can't believe Lance stuck us with him. The dumb ignorant bas-"

"Give him him a chance!" Karen whispered back as she hit the back of his head. They continued to walk in silence. Then Ttocs broke it.

"So, where are we going to stop at." he asked hastily.

"We're heading towards Cerulean City so I can get a Cascade Badge." Ryan snapped.

Ttocs said a simple "hmm" and got back to writing his notes.

"Clefairy clefairy cle cle clefairy!" shrieked Clefairy as everyone stopped. They stood quiet and motionless, straining to hear through the silence. Footsteps could be heard coming toward the small party against the gravel ground. Something that seemed like a flashlight only with a softer glow swepped the ground, creeping near to Karen's foot.

"Wait here." Ryan said as he slowly crept toward the light. Ttocs and Karen heard nothing for a few seconds, which was soon broken by a scream ahead. Ryan came running back, unaware of where he went as he ran smack into a wall and dropped. Another kid came running in moments later, and stopped only to come across a group of people kneeling on the floor trying to help the lunatic person to his feet.

"You scared me for a moment." Ryan breathed.

"Uhsorry about that." said the mystery kid. "The name is Jeremy, and I have been looking for somebody to challenge me all day?" he introduced himself as he took note of Ryan's pokéballs.

"A challenge?" Ryan questioned slyly. He jumped to his feet. "I'll challenge you."

"Fine then. A two on two battle, okay?" Jeremy said as he whipped out two pokéballs.

"Excuse me, but how are you going to battle in such a cramped space?" asked Karen.

"According to my map, up ahead there is a huge cavern next to the exit." Jeremy instructed. He led them forward through a tunnel for half a mile, where a giant cavern was. Up ahead everyone could see light that indicated the exit to Mt. Moon. "Ready for action?" Jeremy asked Ryan.

"You bet." he replied.

"Then lets light up the dark with Pikachu!" he yelled as a yellow mouse popped out of his pokéball."

"Pidgey, go and scrap that mouse." Pidgey appeared and started to beat his wings in his gust attack.

Jeremy just laughed. "Pikachu, show them a real attack with your thundershock." Pikachu turned to his trainer and gave him simple "Pika" and shot lightning from its electric sacs with a loud "chuuuu". Pidgey was shocked badly, but had not fainted yet. "Finish it with another Thundershock."

"Pidgey, return quick." A bolt of lightning zapped the area that Pidgey was lying a second ago. "Raticate, appear."

"Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha. A Raticate. Pikachu, Thunderwave." Pikachu charged up, then flung an arrow of lightning strait for Raticate, who dodged the attack.

"Good Raticate. Use your Hyper Fang" Raticate bared his fangs, then ran toward Pikachu. Just before Jeremy could shout out for Pikachu's Agility attack, Raticate sank his fangs into Pikachu's back.

"Pikaaaaaa." It screamed in pain, then fainted in a heap on the floor.

"Pikachu!" Jeremy ran toward Pikachu and gave it a revive. As soon as he was sure that Pikachu was ok, he recalled Pikachu and threw out another pokéball. "Sandshrew, kick up a storm, now." Sandshrew popped up and started to swish its tail on the ground, flinging sand into Raticate, who shook it off. "Use Slash."

"Good Raticate. Now tackle attack." Raticate tried to tackle Sandshrew, but was slashed in the face by Sandshrew. Raticate got slashed two more times before Ryan called it off. But Raticate wouldn't go down that easily. It got back up and crouched down on the ground, then used its hind legs to charge and leap toward Sandshrew.

"Sandshrew, watch out behind you! Dig!" Sandshrew dug a quick tunnel underground, and Raticate jumped in after him. Everyone advanced toward the tunnel and peered into it. All they could hear were faint battle cries that seemed to get farther and farther away. After five minutes of tense waiting to see who would win, Sandshrew burst through the earth and landed on the ground headfirst. Raticate jumped out of the hole next and landed on Sandshrew, striking a victory pose.

"All right! Raticate, return." Ryan walked toward Jeremy who recalled his Sandshrew. They shook hands, even though Ryan felt that Jeremy didn't want to.

"I'll show you to the nearest Pokémon Center." Jeremy said. He walked toward the exit, followed by everyone else.
