Disclaimer: Alrighty, second chapter is ready for a test run, tell me how you like it!

I stared up into the cloudless sky, the turquoise color made my spirits rise. A sudden breeze made me almost drop here license, but I grabbed hold of it just in time. Then a sudden gust of curiosity burst throughout my body as I wondered what was in the book, was it really just a license? "That old guy wouldn't mind if I opened it... It is mine now anyways!" A blast of fire burst from the forest and pushed me back into a tree. I gasped for breath and felt like a french fry, my whole body was throbbing with pain. "What... was... THAT?" I looked up into the sky as I saw a speeding kangaroo like creature rush over my head. It landed straight in front of me, and I realized how small the pokemon really was! I couldn't help but giggle under my breath.

The pokemon's eyes glared at me with pure heated anger raging in his eyes, "This is my territory, so I'm afraid your going to have to leave." He outstretched his claws as he spoke smirking at me. I was shocked, this pokemon could talk! Millions of scientists and trainers had been searching for a pokemon like this one and I had just happened to stumble onto its home, it was definitely my lucky day.

I tripped backwards, my mind racing with ideas which mainly ended with me catching the pokemon, my confidence slowly started to come back, this could be my chance! "Lets see if my luck holds out... I am Rena from Tanosai Village, and I have come to catch you and become as great as my father was, so enjoy your freedom as a wild pokemon while you can!" I knew if I could just somehow caught this pokemon I would be able to prove myself!

"Idiot! You think you can just walk up and catch me, Trouble, the strongest pokemon ever! I bet you don't even have a pokemon, just another wannabe trainer." The kangaroo pokemon called Trouble shot another glare at me and I blushed, he was right, but I ignored his comment on how I didn't even have a real pokemon.

"Tough guy huh? I don't even need a pokemon to catch you. I bet I can catch you right now!" I knew Trouble wouldn't back down from this challenge and I saw him smirk even more.

"Ok, but if you lose then I want that," He pointed to my license and I gasped, but I couldn't say no now, "I'll give you until the sun goes down to catch me, you'll need all the help you can get!"

I smiled and knew that was more than enough time to catch him, "Don't just talk, lets go!" I faced him quickly, ready to fight, but instead of scratching at me he just took off!

Trouble called back at me as he bounded off, "Glad you got your tough talk out, because you don't have time to talk anymore." I sped after him, the clock was set and he was in the lead. I didn't know this was what he meant by 'catching' him, but I didn't have time to worry now the sunset was already starting, all I had was 30 minutes at most!

I fell over getting a mouthful of dirt wasn't as fun as it looked. I strained to get up, but only found myself on the ground again. "I've only been running for three minutes!!! Come on Rena, get up!" I pushed my body up and panted wishing I had brought a bottle of water. I was never going to catch Trouble, but I couldn't just give up without a fight. I forced myself to go faster, the breeze felt good against my tired body and helped me keep going. A blast of fire burst out from the trees, but this time I jumped out of the way like an automatic instinct.

"You look tired, how about I energize you again!" Another blast of flames came out at me and I jumped up again feeling the heat singe my backpack. Trouble just wouldn't quit that easy. Fifteen minutes had already gone by and the sky was lit up in a display of orange and faded pink colors, night would soon arrive, making all of my hopes of becoming a pokemon master futile. I had to think of something quick, but with all of these fire balls being hurled at me it was a little hard to think. I looked at my surrounds, no where to hide, the trees had all been scorched down, but if I could just distract him for a moment then maybe my plan might work.

An idea popped into my head, talk about perfect timing, "Hey kangaroo freak! Look out behind you!" I called out to him, ok maybe it wasn't a genius idea, but it might work.

It did, Trouble quickly whirled around to see what the fuss was about, "What! Where?" I jumped up and grabbed hold of him, pushing him to the ground, but I suddenly realized that there wasn't any ground to push him onto, just a lake! We both screamed out as we crashed into the water. I surfaced quickly and gasped for breath, falling into a freezing cold lake was about as fun as being stung by a Beedrill.

"These were new clothes too! Yuck and I don't even know whats in this water!" I imagined all sorts of hungry water pokemon right underneath me that could eat me up in one bite. I didn't worry for long before I noticed Trouble still hadn't come up, was he planning his revenge on me? "I should just leave him, he hasn't done anything to help me out." No matter how much I tried to convince myself to leave him I didn't move. A few bubbles rose to the surface and burst as they hit the air, instantly I took a deep breath and plunged underwater. If Trouble really was drowning I wouldn't be able to make it in time, I actually hoped he was plotting revenge against me now. I peered around in the murky water and saw a limp body sinking into the depth of the lake. Grabbing hold of Trouble's leg I managed to pull him back to the forest. The sunset was slowly being replaced by stars and Trouble came back to life. I smiled and softly whispered, "Gotcha."

Troubled just smirked and glared at me again, he weakly spoke out, "Not on your life." Then he blacked out with the smirk still on his face, and the sun sunk down, replaced with a bright crescent moon that lit up the pitch black sky.
