Izzy lead the way, followed by Pip, who trotted behind her then Tracy and finally Max. It had not been long since they had started moving on, only 20 minutes at the most. They could see the silhouette of Beige town not too far ahead.

"It's cool in Beige town. You'll probably love it Izzy." Max told her. She looked over her shoulder as she walked and spoke.

"Really? Why will I like it?"

"Well there are loads of libraries full of pokemon information? and it's well known for having many single good looking men." Tracy quickly looked back at his brother and stared. Izzy laughed at what Max had said.

"And what makes you so sure I like men?" she smirked. He stopped for a moment, then realised she was joking and laughed. Tracy had also thought she'd been serious for a moment, but let out sigh of relief when he too realised she was only messing around.

They walked on a silently when suddenly Izzy stopped. Tracy looked around, as if expecting to see something. Max looked at the two of them funny.

"What's with you two?" he asked.
"Feel that soft rumbling sound?" Izzy whispered. Max quickly felt it. Out of nowhere shot a Ponyta, it's mane blazing. It was tacked up but there was no rider on it. Tracy, Pip and Max Dove out of the way, but Izzy couldn't get out of the stampeding ponyta's way. It swerved but skidded, it's rear sent Izzy flying. She went skidding across the groud and lay there unconscious. The ponyta fell, it's legs flayling everywhere. Tracy's eyes stared at the fallen Ponyta then turned to Izzy. Pip was already running to his owner's side.
"IZZY!" Tracy cried. Max was stunned. The ponyta was beginning to get up. Just then a Rapidash, this time with a rider ontop, came leaping over a bush. She halted and the younger girl got off. The Ponyta went mad.
Tracy was checking Izzy's pulse. She was fine but her face was badly grazed and her jacket was torn.
He saw the young girl trying to grab this out of control Pokemon. Everytime she got close it would blaze it's mane. She grabbed a rope from the very calm rapidash and threw it around the Ponyta's neck. She tied the other End to the saddle on her Rapidash. Only then did she realise there were other ppl. She gasped when she saw Izzy. Tracy had her in his arms. Max was only just starting to snap out of his trance.
"Will she be OK?" the girl asked. Tracy looked at Izzy then at the girl. She could have only been about 14.
"Probably. But her wounds need to be seen to." Tracy murmured. Max jumped up and ran next to his brother.
"Izzy?" He whispered. She Girl Leapt on her Rapidash. She then held out her hands, offering to Take Izzy. Tracy felt reluctant to do so.
"Listen my house isn't too far from here. I can ride quickly on my Rapidash and you two can follow behind." Tracy finally handed Izzy Up to the black haired girl. She positioned Izzy in between her arms in a way that meant she wouldn't fall off. Then she kicked her Rapidash onwards, the Ponyta tied to it followed also. Pip Squealed and began running after them. Tracy scooped him up into his arms and stroked him.
"It's ok." He said. "Come one Max." Tracy called to his brother, the two of them sprinted off after the rider and Izzy.

Tracy sat by the bed, his hand gripping Izzy's. Pip was curled up next to her head, his eyes on her at all times. Max stood at the End of the bed with the girl who's name was Emily.
There was a small movement. Izzy turned her head and opened her eyes. She blinked several times until her vision was clear. A sharp, stabbing pain then rushed through her body. All down one side, she had large grazes. Even the parts of skin covered by clothing.
"Shit!" She groaned and squeazed her eyes shut. Tracy chuckled and moved a bit of blonde hair from her face. She look up at him. Pip began licking her face frantically. She giggled then sat up, slowly. Tracy was quick to let go of her hand.
"Where am I?" She said looking around the large bedroom. Emily gave a shy little smile.
"You're at my house. I'm sorry about what happened. My sister and I were trying to get Bolt to accept riders but it just bucked her off and ran for it. It's a little wild." Izzy let out a small painful laugh.
"You're telling me!? exactly what happened anyway? It was all a blur to me."

"That's not what matters. The fact is that you weren't badly hurt." Tracy said. Izzy took Pip into her arms and smiled.
"You're right." Izzy then stopped and realised she had different clothes on. They weren't hers.
"Where?" Izzy began
"Your jacket was ripped and the rest of your clothing had managed to get tiny tares. Emily here cleaned you up and gave you some of her stuff." Max told her. Emily smiled and blushed. She then went on to another subject.

"You can all stay for as long as you want but I hope that if you are going to leave soon you at least stay for lunch." They all agreed.

While waiting for lunch Emily showed Max and Izzy around the grounds. Her home was huge, there were about 25 rooms and the garden was about 10 acres. Then there were the five separate fields, each 15 acres. Tracy had snuck off to the stables to do some sketches. He looked around for a place to hide and found the perfect place. There were a few stacks of hay ontop of one another almost reaching the roof. There was a wooden beam going across the ceiling with enough gap between it for him to sit on it comfortably. E climbed up the hay stacks and pearched himself on the beam then flipped open his sketch pad and began to scribble.

Izzy decided to go to look at the stables, so left Emily and Max. Pip wanted to run around so stayed with them. She stepped inside the large building, oblivious to Tracy up on a beam. He stopped drawing for a moment and watched her. She looked along the stables, each containing either a rapidash or Ponyta until she came to one that had a small warning sign on it. This was the stable of Bolt, the ponyta that knocked her down. It was standing against the back of the stable, with a weary eye on Izzy. She loosened her shoulder, making sure they weren't square and avert her gaze so that she was not staring directly at the creature, but could still see what it was doing.
Tracy watched with fascination. She knew what she was doing, he never knew she could do this.
Bolt stepped forward cautiously, not too far forward, but a little further away from the wall. Izzy Slowly and as quietly as possible opened the stable door. Bolt stepped back a little and looked as if it was about to rear or buck, Tracy held his breath, but it never did. Izzy then held out her hand. She didn't move any closer to the creature. She simply stood with her arm outstretched. Bolt snorted and tossed his head then moved a little closer. Izzy reached up and touched it's muzzle. The Pokemon flinched at first but as Izzy lay her hand on his forehead he came even closer until he began to rub his head against her. It let out a little whinney. Izzy laughed and hugged it's neck.

"It's ok boy. I forgive you. You didn't mean to hurt me."

Tracy stared in awe. Just then Emily, Max and pip enter. They all halted when they saw Izzy so close to Bolt. Emily Smiled and clapped. Izzy was startled. She looked up and suddenly began blushing. Emily, Max and Pip hurried to the stall.
"How did you do that?" Emily Ask. Tracy slipped down as quietly as possible, making sure none of them noticed. HE then walked up behind them.
"Wow Izzy!" Max gasped!
"well, Ketchums have always had a nack for calming Ponyta and Rapidash. Nobody knows why." Izzy pattwed the creatures neck. Emily smiled. She had made up her mind.
"Izzy. Would you like to keep Bolt." Izzy stopped and stared.
"Really?"
"Yes! Bolt likes you! You're the first human bolt has ever liked. He'd be much happier with you than with us I think."
"Yes. I'd love to have him."


Later that day, after lunch Emily walked them out of the grounds. They turned to her and said goodbye.
"Good look Izzy. You're going to be a great trainer. I can tell."
"Thank you Emily." Izzy put her hand onto a pokeball on her belt. IT contained her new pokemon Ponyta.
"Come and visit again some time." Emily said. They all shook hands and the three of them were on there way once again into Beige Town.
