Kurai yawned as she and Fiorie slowly made there way through grassy
hills on there way to Jade city, they had been walking half of the day now
and Kurai was starting to get a bit hungry. "Oi, Fiorie why don't we stop
for a while?" Kurai asked.
"Ok sure" Fiorie looked around and spotted a stream not to far away, "Hey I am going to go and try to catch us some fish why don't you stay here and set up a blanket and some silver ware and build a small fire." Fiorie waited for Kurai to give her a nod before moving off towards the stream to catch some fish. Fiorie took out her fishing pole from her backpack; it came in four parts so she had to snap them together. After assembling the fishing pole Fiorie sat down at the waters edge and dipped the bait in, waiting only mere seconds she caught a regular fish. After catching about 3 more fish Fiorie took out her bait and started to pack up the pole. Fiorie was about to leave when she saw a scaly head peek out from under the waters edge to look at her. Fiorie smiled and took out her pokedex.
Pokedex: Vaporeon, this pokemon lives close to the water, its long tail is ridged with a fin that is often mistaken for that of a mermaids.
Fiorie smiled at the Vaporeon and took out he poke ball that contained Ember and threw it down, the Vaporeon saw the challenge and jumped out of the water. This Vaporeon was a big male with what Fiorie noticed was a lot of pride.
"Ok lets go Ember hit the kitty with a stomp attack" Ember reeled up and came back down with her hooves but the Vaporeon was faster using its size the Vaporeon jumped up and out of the way of the horse before firing a very strong water gun. The water gun hit Ember and knocked the giant horse to the ground. Ember got back up and snorted while tossing her head. The giant horse charged forward in a blind rage towards the mocking Vaporeon, but the water cat dodged to the side before coming back with a very strong tackle attack, which knocked the wayward Rapidash into the water.
Fiorie stuck out her poke ball and called back her Rapidash before the water could do some serious damage. The Vaporeon stuck up its fin and jumped back into the water with a giant splash. Fiorie sighed and grabbed the fish she had caught before heading back to the campsite where Kurai was setting up some silver ware. "What's wrong with you?" Kurai asked when Fiorie came back to the camp in a daze.
"I just got my ass whooped by a Vaporeon" Fiorie answered in a monotone voice.
"Well that is understandable since the only pokemon that you currently own is a fire type" Kurai said while taking the fish and starting to clean them.
"Yeah but watching you battle Rubius yesterday it was amazing its like you had this connection with the pokemon and knew your owns attacks as well as the enemies, you were unstoppable." Fiorie hung her head.
Kurai laughed as she looked up from her work "Yeah I have a connection with my pokemon, I can't explain it but ever since I was little I have been able to understand what they are thinking and feeling." Kurai looked back down at the fish but did not start up her work again. "That's if they open up and let me, your pokemon was connected to me because we both had the same goal in mind, while Rubius' pokemon were not since our goals were different, and as for the way I fought, well I have been watching the leader of Diamond Gym since I was little and he taught me a few things." Kurai began cleaning again "I am unstoppable and I still have a lot to learn, we both do that's why we are on this journey."
Fiorie looked at Kurai in awe and realized how little she really knew about this girl. "Will you help me?" Fiorie asked.
Kurai smiled without looking up from her work "Sure I will." After she was finished cleaning the fish they cooked them and ate them while talking about what they would do once they got to Jade City. As dusk slowly started creep on the two campers they set up their sleeping bags and went to bed.
The next day the two started down the street again vaguely aware of the presence that was following them. Fiorie kept looking over her shoulder as she felt eyes watching her back; it was really starting to creep her out. Fiorie turned her eyes back to the road and dismissed the presence as her overactive imagination.
Behind the duo a pair of teenagers at watching from the brush, one had long brown hair that was up in a high ponytail with her bangs loose to cover the sides of her face in a veil of sorts. The young woman with brown hair was wearing a black jump suit with intertwining R's on the front. Her companion was a young boy with Sea green eyes and forest green hair; his hair was braided down his back and reached to his waist. He was wearing the same outfit only with a red headband covering his forehead. The women watched the duo with piercing blue eyes only a moment more before turning to look at her silent companion.
"Lets jump them a little ways up the road." From her poke ball at her side she released a Sandslash.
The young male smirked and nodded his consent. The two of them slowly crept out from behind the brush and snuck further down the road using the cover of foliage.
Kurai looked over at Fiorie who for the eighth time since they had packed up their supplies and started off down the road was looking behind them. "Are you ok?" She asked. Fiorie gave a slight start, as she had not expected Kurai to talk, she looked over at her traveling partner and nodded before looking back at the open road. She knew that there was someone following them but she did not want to panic Kurai. The two walked for a little bit longer in silence when Fiorie decided she had had enough and had to tell Kurai. Just as she was about to say something though a hole appeared underneath their feet. Fiorie gave a start at the feeling of weightlessness but the start gave way into a grimace of pain as she hit the ground rather hard. A grunt beside her signified that Kurai had landed on the hard ground as well. Groaning Kurai and Fiorie sat up.
"Hey Fiorie you ok?" Kurai asked softly.
Fiorie winced and looked up it was apparent that they had fallen into some kind of hole, but who would put a hole in the middle of the road. "Yeah just a little sore, you?"
"Same" Kurai answered, "Who do you suppose would put a hole in the middle of the road though?"
As if on cue two people appeared out of nowhere beside the edges of the oversized trap. "We did." The girl stated, "My name is Clarise and this is Ejomoreah." The boy bowed his head slightly in greeting.
"I know you guys, you are the infamous team rocket," Kurai growled at seeing the lettering on their shirts.
"You know these guys Kurai?" Fiorie asked.
"Sort of, they aren't my friends or anything, I just remember their leader Giovanni challenging my friend Kaiygan, and he of course lost." Kurai glared up the hole at the duo.
"I see our reputation precedes us, now hand over your pokemon" The girl Clarise demanded.
"Oh we'll hand them over alright, go Shadow, Flamina, Amethyst." Kurai threw her three poke balls up and out of the whole to release her three pokemon then return back to her.
"Go Ember!" The fire horse was also pitted into battle.
The opposing team sent out a Raichu and a Sandslash to combat the other four pokemon. While the pokemon battled above the two girls were busy trying to figure how to get out of the hole they were submerged in.
Fiorie bent down and allowed Kurai to climb onto her shoulder, Fiorie then slowly rose onto two steady feet, but Kurai still could not reach the edge of the hole.
"Kurai you said that you had a connection with pokemon right?" Fiorie asked after Kurai had gotten down.
"Yeah why do you ask?" Kurai inquired turning to look Fiorie in the eyes.
"Well I was thinking that maybe you could use that pokemon empathy to contact some kind of pokemon to get us out of here." Fiorie explained.
"You may be right it is worth a try." Kurai sat cross legged on the ground and closed her eyes, concentrating really hard she reached out her psychic powers kind of like a sixth sense and reached out to the nearest flying pokemon. Once she had asked it for its help she withdrew her mind and woke up from her trance. Kurai stood up unsteadily and with Fiorie's help regained her balance.
Before Fiorie could even asked if it worked a huge gust of wind came from above the hole and slowly a Pidgeot descended into the well-formed Ditch. It looked at Kurai for a second; the Pidgeot was huge, being able to look down on the slightly tall Kurai. Kurai nodded to Fiorie before hopping onto the back of the Pidgeot and helping her friend on. With on huge flap of its wings the Pidgeot lifted itself and the two girls easily out of the hole and into the air where it hovered for a second while the two girls recalled their pokemon. Kurai laughed at the raging team rocket as the three sped off into the horizon.
After a while of flying the Pidgeot landed in a clearing and let the girls off, Kurai then turned to face their rescuer. "With your permission my dear friend I would like to capture you." Kurai stated while looking into the fierce golden eyes of the huge flying beast.
Fiorie stared in shock as the Pidgeot inclined his head giving the young girl permission and in a way daring her to try. Kurai smirked and backed up giving them both room before choosing the purple poke ball that Rubius had given her and throwing it to the ground. A sleeping Espeon was released from the poke ball and the device returned to Kurai's hand. Fiorie groaned, as the Pidgeot seemed to laugh at the young girl from Diamond city.
Kurai's eyes seemed to glow purple for a second as she looked upon her embarrassing pokemon. Espeon look up in surprise at her new owner and slowly got up, taking her eyes away from her trainer and getting into a battle pose in front of the mocking bird. The bird gave a cry of warning to the Amethyst cat before launching into the sky in its Arial attack.
Kurai smirked "Ok Amethyst lets show this bird that he cant just fly away from this fight, bring him down with a psychic attack!"
Amethyst nodded a couple of second before her whole body started glowing a menacing purple color. Kurai looked up and saw that the Pidgeot was glowing the same exact color as Amethyst and had stopped dead in mid flight. Amethyst threw its head to the side and sent the large bird careening into the hard earth where it laid still. Kurai smirked and threw a poke ball at the still bird entrapping it within. The ball moved once, twice then lye still on the ground signifying that Kurai had indeed caught the Pidgeot.
Kurai smiled and picked up the now White Poke ball (by the way the poke balls change colors depending on which pokemon is inside.) releasing the Pidgeot she gave it a Mega Potion before clipping a communicator around its neck. "Sorry about that." Kurai apologized.
"My fault entirely" The Pidgeot replied in a strong masculine voice, "I should not have underestimated you and your Espeon's abilities to battle."
Kurai nodded "I think we should call you Skysight, what do you think?" She smiled.
"I would be honored to have such a name."
"Well I am Kurai and this is my friend Fiorie, we are both in your debt for saving our lives." Kurai bowed.
Fiorie nodded "Yeah if weren't for you I don't know how we would have gotten out of that hole."
"It was my pleasure." Skysight answered before Kurai recalled him back into his poke ball. The young girl then turned to Amethyst who had been watching the whole spectacle with curious eyes.
"Thank you for your help Amethyst, you battle well." Kurai complimented.
"And you are a worthy trainer, I would like to apologize for my earlier rudeness, but you see I have an extreme distrust of humans. Rubius stole me from my home and family and ever since then I have had a grudge against all humans but you are not like others. You seem to understand us as equals and not as a superior." Amethyst nodded her head in respect before returning herself to her poke ball.
Kurai smiled at Fiorie before the two let out there traveling pokemon, mounted and set off for their destination. About and hour ways away from Jade town though the two brought back their pokemon and started to travel on foot, enjoying the green scenery.
"You know Amethyst is right, you do seem to understand pokemon, far better then anyone I have ever known." Fiorie complimented.
Kurai turned her head and smiled at her companion, "Must be my magnetic personality." She jested.
Fiorie smiled "Must be." Just then the two girls heard the snap of a twig in a nearby bush. Fiorie looked at Kurai curiously as the two girls stopped in the middle of the road. From the bush a young female Growlithe appeared and stared at the two-pokemon trainers.
"Go ahead." Kurai stated.
Fiorie nodded and released her tired Rapidash, "Ok Ember this time we are not going to be taken by surprise you ready?"
Ember nodded and turned to face its opponent, who was by now bearing teeth at its challenger. "GO Ember use Stomp!" Fiorie commanded. Ember reared up and brought its hooves down only to find out that its opponent had rolled out from underneath it. The Growlithe charged its unsuspecting Challenger and used a head butt knocking the Rapidash down on its side.
"Ok lets retaliate with a head butt of our own the fry him with Fire Blast!" Fiorie commanded.
Rapidash swiftly got up lowered its head and slammed into the fire dog sending it flying into the ground, Ember didn't give it a chance to right itself again before she launched her heated attack on the young dog. Fiorie saw her chance and threw her poke ball at the pokemon, the ball rocked once, twice, a third time then lye still.
Fiorie smiled, released her pokemon and after healing it put a communicator around its neck. "Wow that was some battle, I could feel that last hit." The overexcited puppy shook its fur and looked up at its new trainers with youthful eyes, "Do I get a cool name to?"
Fiorie laughed and scratched her behind the ears, "Sure, why don't you pick it."
The Growlithe cocked its head to the side in thought for a second before perking up "How about Armageddon?"
"Sure" Fiorie then called the firedog back into its poke ball and the two girls continued on their way to Jade City. With new hopes and two new pokemon the girls are in high spirits, but the battle ahead will test not only their skills but also their determination.

Authors note- Well this chapter took a long time to get out but I had a major writer block, which took quit a while to get rid of. Anyways I promise the girls will reach Jade City in the next chapter. Also please review, please, please, please, please, I will get on my knees and beg if I have to lol. Ja Ne.
"Ok sure" Fiorie looked around and spotted a stream not to far away, "Hey I am going to go and try to catch us some fish why don't you stay here and set up a blanket and some silver ware and build a small fire." Fiorie waited for Kurai to give her a nod before moving off towards the stream to catch some fish.
