Craig:YES! REACHED FLANNERY AND BEAT HER!*does the happy dance*

DT:*Sweatdrops and steps off to the side, guessing she'll have to introduce the chapter etc*Craig does NOT own any part of pokemon except Blaze, drayline belongs to a friend of his, whom i have not met. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Blaze grunted a bit as he finally biked out of the sandstorm he had tried riding through after May gave him the go-goggles. "Lot of good that did me! I ran into too many pokemon! I'd rather go AROUND the sand storm." he murmured. As he started riding down a trail that lead torwards Mauville. "I'm hoping that old man is still there. I need a ride back to Petalburg!" he said, shaking his head to get some sand out of his hair.

He snuck past a couple of trainers, not really wanting a battle at the moment. "Blaziken may still be strong, but I'm pretty sure that sandstorm has him shaken up...." Blaze murmured, popping a wheelie.

He finally reached Mauville then got an idea and took a sharp left, heading for the outskirts of town. He smirked as he pulled up to a building and hopped off his bike, walking into the building and walking up to a lady behind a desk. "May I get my two pokemon back, please?" he asked, offering her the fee she had said there would be.

The lady nodded and walked off, coming back with a Wingull and Wurmple, taking the money from him. "And may I drop off a couple more pokemon?" Blaze asked, pulling two pokeballs off his belt that had his Ralts and his Wynaut. The woman nodded and took the two pokemon.

He nodded then walked out of the building, hopping onto his bike and heading back to Mauville. "Nice people." he thought then took another sharp left, heading through the center of town as he headed torwards Slateport.

He reached Slateport within a few minutes and cut through town, narrowly avoiding people as he hurried torwards the beach, not really sure if that old man was still there. He finally reached the docks and let out a sigh of relief as he saw the old man. Blaze quickly boarded the ship and told the old man where to go. "Okay, but we'll have to stop at Dewford for supplies!" the man said then turned the key on the boat and took off.

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

Blaze quickly took off from the boat, heading torwards Petalburg as fast as he could. He slid to a stop as a Zigzagoon hops out of the bushes in front of him. "Already have one of these! Ah well!" he said and threw Blaziken's pokeball out.

Blaziken popped out, in battle position and glared down at the Zigzagoon. Blaziken slowly swung a claw around in a Cut attack, slashing the Zigzagoon and sending him into the bushes again. Blaze quickly returned Blaziken to his ball then took off again, heading into a forest.

He quickly took a left and rode along the edge of the bushes then took a sharp right, heading through and reaching a spot where there was no grass. He took a few deep breathes then shot through the grass, only to be met with another battle. A Shroomish popped out of the bushes, having its usual frown on its ugly face. "Go, Blaziken!" Blaze yelled as he threw his Blaziken's pokeball out.

Blaze streached slightly as he got ready for bed that night. "Okay, another recap. I finally get away from Lavaridge, get into a few battles, get my pokemon healed, and then I go and beat my own dad! Good day." Blaze said then layed down in his bed, pulling the blanket up to his shoulders. "Good thing I'm just resting for now, I've got to find that sixth gym!" he thought then closed his eyes.

_____________________________

Blaze awoke the next morning and quickly got dressed. He ran downstairs, grabbed a piece of toast for his own breakfast, grabbed a couple of containers of Pokefood, stuck them in his backpack, then was out the door. "Crap, I should have woke up sooner! At this rate, I might not reach that sixth gym by night time!" Blaze thought as he ran then got an idea.

He slid to a stop by a sign then reached into his bag, pulling out his Acro bike. "I dont care what people say, this bike is way better then the Mach bike. The Mach bike is supposedly the faster one, but its harder to control. The Acro bike is easy to control, and can pull a few stunts." Blaze thought, grinning as he stepped onto his bike and started pedaling east.

As soon as he reached the water, he grinned a bit and pulled a pokeball off his belt. "Zigzagoon! Surfing time!" he yelled then tossed the ball into the air, his Zigzagoon coming out and hopping into the water. The ball flew back into Blaze's hand and he quickly got onto Zigzagoon's back, surfing away from the shore.

_____________________________

Blaze grunted as he pulled back onto shore. "Okay, NOW I find out that the sixth gym is not on one of the islands, but up in Fortree City!"

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