Hello everyone. I would like to start the second part of this long running story. This takes place at the same time as the Kanto region story. I hope you enjoy this one as well. Please review if you want to.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon.


Here we have another tale of a trainer's epic adventure. The hero of this story is a young man by the name of Brendan Ruby. However to start this tale of we must go back a couple of weeks to the Johto region in Goldenrod City. The current Gym Leader Norman Ruby had just defeated another challenger.

"Good try kid. Don't let this get you down. Instead better yourself from this and come back." said Norman trying to make the kid feel better.

The kid left with his head held high. Norman was getting ready to head back home when someone from down the street yelled his name.

"Are you Norman Ruby?" the man asked from down the street.

Norman turned to see a very flamboyantly dressed blue haired sailor.

"Yes that's me. Are you a challenger?" asked Norman in response.

"No no my good man I come to bring you good news." explained the man.

As he walked closer Norman began to recognize who he was.

"No way. Are you…" Norman began but was cut off.

"The world's greatest water type trainer and Gym Leader of Sootopolis City Wallace Reef? Why yes I am but please no autographs." he introduced quite extravagantly.

Norman thought this guy was way too up his own ass. After a few seconds of silence Wallace broke it.

"Anyway I'm here to tell you that the Hoenn region has scouted you for a Gym Leader position here are the details should you choose to accept." explained Wallace handing him some papers.

Norman read through the papers. He actually liked the sound of it.

"How did I come up?" he asked wondering how he was scouted.

"Prof Birch recommended you." Wallace answered.

He smiled at the mention of his good friend. He thought it over. His wife wasn't really enjoying city life and with this they could move to a small town.

"Alright I'll do it. Give me a bit of time to name an heir for this gym and get my family ready." he answered.

"Good to have you on the team my good man." said Wallace as he left.

Norman called a meeting of Gym Leaders to discuss the heir to Goldenrod Gym. There was a lot of young ones as Gym Leaders now. Falkner, Bugsy and Morty were all his son's age and were just made Gym Leaders. Clair who didn't show up was just a bit older than them and Jasmine was even younger. Chuck and Pryce have been around since Norman was made Gym Leader.

"Well let's get straight to business. Who do you nominate Norman?" started Pryce not wanting to be there any longer than needed.

"Yes I agree. Usually I'd love to chat with you all but I need to get ready for my trip to Pewter." said Bugsy standing up for Pryce's impatience.

"Very well. I've given it some thought and I nominate Whitney Rider." answered Norman.

Pryce got up and slammed his fist down on the table. Norman figured this would happen.

"Unacceptable! She is far too young! I let these young guns slide but not this!" Pryce yelled in protest.

"I think it's good for the younger generation to step up." Chuck chimed in.

"There's the younger generation and then there's electing a kid." Pryce shot back.

"What does age have to do with it?" asked Morty feeling attacked.

"The poor girl is only 14. She wouldn't know what to do." Pryce explained.

"Might I remind you that Jasmine is 16 and was 15 when elected and I was only 12 when I was elected. You had no problems then old man." stated Clair as she walked into the meeting.

"Both you and Jasmine were special cases. Both of you are naturally born trainers." said Pryce.

"And how do you know she isn't as well? If you had no issues nominating me at 12 then there should be no problem here" said Clair with an overwhelming sense of authority.

Everyone was all in agreement.

"Then it's decided. I will go give here the new." said Norman bringing the meeting to a close.

Later he named Whitney the new Gym Leader and got his family ready to move.

"I'll be heading there now to get settled in. Birch already got a house ready for us just next door. I'll see you two in a week." he said as he left.

One week later

Brendan was in the back of a moving truck wait to get to his new house. He was actually quite excited. The only friends he had in Johto were Morty and Whitney and he was more of Whitney's babysitter than a friend. The truck came to a sudden stop causing him to fall flat on this face. The truck door opened and he got out holding his now bloody nose.

"Oh dear. Sweetie what happened?" asked his mother in concern.

"You put your son in the back of a damn moving truck is what happened." said Brendan with as much salt in his voice as he could muster towards his mother.

"I'm so sorry honey. Head inside and clean yourself up." said his mom knowing he can look after himself.

They had moved to Littleroot Town a small little community in Hoenn. It wasn't the first time they moved. They moved from Olivine to Goldenrod when his dad became the Gym Leader there but this was the first time he had ever been out of region. He went inside his new house and washed the blood from his face. There were a few Machokes moving stuff in and he decided to explore. He found his room and it was quite nice.

"Brendan! Get down here your father is on tv." his mom yelled from downstairs.

He ran but it was over before he got there.

"Aww you just missed it. Your father is officially the new Gym Leader of Petalburg City as of today and they were just having an interview with him." his mother explained.

"Why did dad take the spot here anyway? He was already a Gym Leader." Brendan asked.

"I think the biggest reason was for a change of scenery. I wasn't really enjoying city life and I don't think he was either. This way we can enjoy a nice quiet life out here." explained his mom.

"And what about me? Did I cross dad's mind at all when he made this call? I have no friends here." asked Brendan feeling a bit neglected.

"You never made many friends to begin with. Speaking of witch you should go introduce yourself to our neighbors. I hear Prof Birch's daughter is a knockout." said his mom giving him a wink.

"Mom you really need to stop trying to get me laid...It's really creepy. I mean seriously Whitney was only 14 and you taught her to seduce me. You got problems...really really big problems." said Brendan creeped out at his mother's weird goals.

He left and headed next door. With his dad and Birch being so close it makes sense that they live next to each other. He walked in.

"Oh hello. Who are you?" asked a nice woman.

"I'm Brendan Ruby son of Norman Ruby. My mom told me to come introduce myself." he introduced.

"Oh you're Norman's boy. If you want to say hello my daughter is upstairs in her room just leave the door open." she said giving him a wink.

"What is wrong with you middle aged women and trying to get your kids to have sex! It's fucking creepy!" rambled Brendan as he walked upstairs.

He opened the door to the room rubbing his eyes from the middle aged induced headache. Once he opened his eyes only to find a cute light brown haired girl in the process of taking her shirt off. She was in only a thong and her boobs were completely exposed. The two just stared at each other not being able to process the situation. They stared for a solid five seconds before both of their faces turned completely red. She let out an embarrassed scream and quickly covered herself.

"Oh god I am so sorry I didn't mean…" Brendan started rambling.

"GET OUT!" she yelled interrupting his ramble.

Brendan ran out and let his face cool off. His mother was right about one thing. She was a knockout.

"Ok you can come back in." she called to him.

He entered again still with a ting of red on his face. She was fully clothed now. She was wearing black and red workout clothes that really hugged her figure and her hair was done into two twin tails with a cute bow on top of her head.

"Look I really didn't mean to catch you like that honest." apologized Brendan.

"It's ok. Water under the bridge. Anyway I'm May Birch daughter of Hoenn's famed Pokemon Professor. Who are you?" she introduced.

"I'm Brendan Ruby. My mom said I should come over and introduce myself." he answered back.

May's eyes lit up and she looked excited.

"Oh you're the boy my dad said was moving in next door. I've been so excited to meet you." May said.

"Really? Why?" asked Brendan a little confused.

"Because I love making new friends. We are going to be friends right?" she said looking at him excitedly.

"Somehow I feel like I don't have a choice but sure we can be friends." answered Brendan.

"Yay! Oh shit I forgot I have to go help dad I mean Prof Birch with some research. I'll see you around Brendan." said May as she rushed out her room.

"Well she's got a lot of energy." he thought to himself.

He left the house and decided to walk around town to get familiar with the place. After a bit a kid ran up to him. He seemed like he needed help.

"Mister please help! I heard a cry for help coming from Route 101 but I'm too scared to go." the kid explained.

Brendan made his way to Route 101. He heard the cry too. He ran and found Prof Birch being cornered by a pack of Poochyena.

"Brendan?! Oh thank god please help me! Take a pokeball out of that bag and use it!" pleaded Prof Birch.

Brendan quickly ran and grabbed a pokeball. He threw it and a Treecko came out. They both made quick eye contact before Treecko ran up and shocked one of the Poochyena in the face. It got up and now all three Poochyena were looking at him.

"Ok Treecko I know we just met but we are going to have to work together if we want to get out of this." said Brendan.

Treecko looked back in disgust but gave in. He waited for Brendan's orders.

"Alright hit the one you already hit again." ordered Brendan.

Treecko smacked the same one taking it out.

"There. Now there is only two threats to deal with." said Brendan.

Each Poochyena tackled Treecko but he held on. Treecko then hit one of them back. For a few turns Treecko was trying his best but he was taking two hits for every one he did. It was then down to one heavily wounded Poochyena and one heavily wounded Treecko. The Poochyena hit Treecko and he should have gone down but Treecko was a stubborn one. He didn't want to look weak in front of Brendan so he mustered up all his willpower to keep himself from falling. He let out a war cry and ran at the Poochyena. Then with all his might he smashed it in the stomach knocking it out and sending it flying a few feet.

"Wow Treecko that was amazing. Treecko? Hey Treecko?" Brendan kept saying but getting no response.

Treecko then fell over completely worn out. Brendan fell to his knees feeling worn out too. He was confused because he didn't do much.

"Let's head back to my lab I'll explain everything there." said Prof Birch.

Brendan then blacked out. He woke up in the lab.

"What the hell happened?" he asked getting up.

"First I'd like to thank you for saving my ass out there." thanked Birch.

"Yeah but why did I pass out? All I did was give orders to Treecko." Brendan asked confused.

"Ah that. Well you see when a trainer battles with their pokemon the pokemon actually takes energy from the trainer. The harder the pokemon works the more energy they take. That's why if you've ever seen an intense battle on tv the trainers are sweating and panting too. Also all pokemon you send out take energy from you. That's why league rules only allow three pokemon out at any given time. Anymore than that is too dangerous." explained Prof Birch.

"Then why did I pass out form only using one pokemon?" asked Brendan.

"That would have to do with Treecko himself. As I said the harder the pokemon battles the more energy they take. Treecko actually lost consciousness when that Poochyena hit him. It was his stubborn personality and the fact that he didn't want to look weak in front of you that kept him going. To keep fighting on willpower alone drained a lot of energy out of you really quickly." he explained.

Brendan looked over to Treecko who was just waking up himself. He then smiled.

"You did great Treecko. You have my respect." Brendan praised.

Treecko crossed his arms and looked away in an embarrassed manner.

"Haha. You and Treecko will get along great."said Prof Birch with a laugh.

"Probably but I'm not a trainer and he seems like a battle pokemon not a pet. Also I wouldn't feel right taking a pokemon that only people who get a perfect score on the trainer exam can get." said Brendan.

"But I have your official trainer certificate right here. Your father signed off on it and asked me to give you a pokemon. After seeing how you and Treecko fought I think he would be the best one for you to take." he explained.

Brendan was shocked for a second but then he remembered that Gym Leaders can make people trainers. He then walked up to Treecko and held his fist out.

"What do you say little buddy? Wanna make this team official?" asked Brendan with a dorky smile one his face.

Treecko looked at the fist then up at Brendan. He looked back and forth between the two for a bit until he shrugged his shoulders and fist bumped.

"Hey I sent May up to Route 103 to look into what pokemon inhabit that area. You should go get her and test your might." said the professor.

Brendan headed out with Treecko in company. He went past Route 101 into Oldale Town and that's when it occurred to him that he had no idea where the hell he was going.

"Hey Treecko do you know the lay of the land here?" he asked.

Treecko had an unamused face and was picking his nose with his pinky. He then turned the other cheek at Brendan's question.

"You are just full of sunshine and rainbows aren't you?" asked Brendan sarcastically.

As he was walking he heard a voice yell at him.

"Don't take another step!" it said.

Brendan froze in his tracks while another really nerdy looking guy ran up.

"I've never seen footprints like these from a pokemon before. I must document them. I will not have you stepping over them." said the nerd.

"But they cover the entire entrance to Route 103." Brendan shot back.

"This isn't Route 103. 103 is at the north end of town." the nerd explained.

"Oh...thanks." he said feeling stupid.

He walked up and found May in front of a small pond. Then a thought came into his mind.

"Well if we're friends she shouldn't mind." he said in his mind as an evil smile grew on his face.

He snuck up behind her and poked her sides. She let out a blood curdling scream at the surprise.

"So are you gonna scream at me every time we meet? If you are I'm going to start bringing earplugs." he said laughing his ass off.

"You are an asshole." she said with a blush coming on her face.

"I'm sorry anyway your dad sent me to find you." Brendan apologized.

"Oh ok let's get going." she said with a smile.

"Hold on there. I want to challenge you to a battle." Brendan challenged with Treecko looking ready to go.

May looked at him and pondered for a second. Then she smirked.

"You're on." she said accepting.


And there you go. Hope you guys like this one as well. I will probably switch between one chapter on Kanto then one chapter on Hoenn. See you next time.
