Jen, a young trainer from Earl's School of Pokemon has joined Dustin and Shane, as they leave Violet City and head for their next destination; Azalea Town, however there will be many challenges along the way!

~Marill and the Secret Lake!~

"So..." Dustin started a conversation, he Shane, and Jen were just directly outside Violet City, on a dirt trail, to the right and left was forest, "Why did you want to travel Johto?"

"Well," Jen said, "That school didnt allow me to see the true nature of pokemon, honestly I could care less about battling, its fun, but I really like raising pokemon."

"Thats intresting," Shane said, "Are Oddish and Mareep the only pokemon you have caught?" Shane asked, the road they were travling on was still the same.

"So far," Jen smiled, "I really want to catch all sorts of pokemon, or to see a pokemon evolve would be really cool!"

"CROSS!" a blue bettle flew by the gang swiftly from the left side of the forest to the right.

"Wha?" Dustin said, "What was that?"

"I think it was a Heracross...a bug type pokemon with fighting atrributes," Jen smiled, "It likes honey."

"I wanna see it!" Dustin said, "COME ON!" Dustin had allready got of track and was now running to the right of the dirt road into the forest.

"Ok," Shane said, Jen smiled and they followed Dustin.

"HERACROSS!!!" Dustin shouted, he was deep in the area, trees every where, "HERACROSS!!!"

Jen and Shane just sat there as Dustin tried to call Heracross, Shane interupted, "We need to get going," Shane said.

"I hope were not lost," Jen said, looking around she didnt see a way out, in fact they came into the woods by making their own trail.

"Uh..." Shane looked around, "Were totally lost..." Shane and Jen frowned in doubt, Dustin continued to scream.

"HERACROSS!!!" Dustin had his mind set he was going to find that bug pokemon, "COME OUT HERACROSS!!!"

"Dustin were lost..." Shane said.

"No were not," Dustin smiled, "We just go back the way we came," Dustin smiled, "Which is..." Dustin didnt see the way they came in anymore, "Ah..." Dustin started to laugh some, "Its not big deal...juse use your flying type pokemon to get us out of here."

"The forest is too thick," Shane said, "I dont know how were going to get out of this one........" Shane, Jen, and Dustin sighed.

"CROSS!" Heracross statred to fly by Dustin.

"HERACROSS!!" Dustin yelled, "LETS FOLLOW IT!"

"CROSS!" Heracross stated to fly faster.

"WAIT UP!" Dusitn yelled.

"YOU TO!" Shane told Dustin, Jen followed behind Dustin as well.

"HERACROSS!!" Dustin followed the bug, through the tress and bushes, "WAIT UP!" Dustin didnt think it would end until finally, the bushes and trees opened to reveal a beautiful opening and a crystal blue lake. "Whoa..." Dustin stoped.

"Why did you..." Shane said, "Whoa..." Shane got up with Dustin, "Look at the lake..." Shane and Dustin were in amazement.

"Hey!" Jen yelled, "AMAZING!" she had caught up with Dustin and Shane and was admiring the lake.

"CROSS!" Heracross flew cross the lake, then into the forest on the other side.

"There goes my chances at Heracross..." Dustin frowned, "But we did find this cool lake!" Dustin smiled.

"Yeah," Jen laughed, "It was almost worth getting lost."

"Why dont we give our pokemon a little R n R?" Shane asked.

"COME ON OUT!" Dustin threw his ultra ball and two pokeballs.

"LARVITAR!" Larvitar shouted in happiness.

"TEDDIURSA!" Teddiursa cried with glee.

"TOTODILE!" Totodile jumped with joy.

"Thats my team," Dustin smiled.

"Cool," Jen grabbed her two pokeballs, "Mareep and Oddish come on out!" She held her two pokeballs as the sent out Mareep and Oddish.

"MA!" Mareep said, grinning.

"Oddish..." Oddish chirped.

"SPEAROW, PIDGEY, HOOTHOOT," Shane threw his three pokeballs, "LETS GO!"

"SPEAROW!" Spearow flapped into the air and landed on the ground gently, pecking the grass.

"PIDGEY!" Pidgey sat down on the ground peacefully.

"HOOTHOOT!" Hoothoot stood on it's one leg on the ground.

"Now guys," Dustin said to all the pokemon, "Remember to have fun," Dustin said, he smiled, "Cause I am!" Dustin said, he sat down on the grass.

"I know what you mean," Shane said, sitting down.

"I wounder whats in that lake?" Jen asked, still standing up.

"Probably water pokemon," Dustin said, he stood up, "But it is funny...there has to be some pokemon in there."

"I really want to catch a water pokemon," Jen said, "Your Totodile is so cute," Jen said, looking over at Totodile who was playing with Larvitar and Teddiursa.

Shane stood up, "HEY LOOK!" he pointed to a blue like figure semi-poking out of the water. "What is that?"

"A pokemon," Jen smiled, "A MARILL!!!"

"A Marill?" Dustin thought, he got his pokedex.

"Marill, the water mouse pokemon, Marill's tail is said to be composed of oil, which is how it cna float," Devon finished. Dustin put up the dex.

"Marill!" Marill now was swimming closer to the land, "Marill, Marill..." it continued to swim up to the land.

"Its coming this way," Shane siad.

"Marill, Marill!" Marill chirped, it made it to the edge where water met land and hoped on the land, "Marill!"

"How cute," Jen smiled, she grabbed a pokeball from her blue bag with an E on it, "Your mine, pokeball go!" Jen threw the pokeball at Marill.

"MARILL!" Marill screamed, the pokeball hitting it and sucking it in.

"Dont you need to weakin it?" Dustin asked.

"Nah," Jen smiled, the ball rolled once, twice...

"MARILL!" Marill escaped from the ball's grasp, Marill screamed, "MARILL!!!!" then sprayed a gush of water at Jen, hitting her in the face.

"OUCH!" Jen was now really mad. "MAREEP SHOCK IT!"

"RE!" Mareep ran to it's master and sent out static charges at Marill.

"RIL!" Marill was getting shock, Mareep stoped and Marill was darkened.

"STOP STOP!" a young girl around seventeen cried, running up to Jen, her hair blue, she was slender and medium height, dressed in a long skirt colored red and a blue shirt.

"Huh?" Jen said, "I am gonna get this Marill."

"Please," the girl said, now caught up with Jen, "That Marill is out last hope!"

"Last hope?" Dustin asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Suzzie," the girl said, "I live not to far from this lake."

"And what about this Marill?" Jen asked.

"This Marill was sent here to find a trainer who could help us," Suzzie said, "It meant no harm."

"I am so sorry," Jen said, walking up to Marill and bending down, "I didnt mean to hurt you...please forgive me."

"MARILL!" Marill got back up and smiled, "Marill, Marill!"

Jen laughed, "Thanks Marill."

"What do you need help with?" Dustin asked.

"My town I live in is being attackes," Suzzie said.

"By how?" Shane asked.

"A group of wild Azumarill," Suzzie said.

"Azumarill?" Jen asked, "Isnt that the evolution of Marill?"

"Yes," Suzzie said, "A group of Azumarill have been attacking our town, vandilizing the streets and all sorts of other mean things."

"We will help!" Jen said, looking at Dustin and Shane, "To make up for the mistake," Jen smiled at Marill.

"Marill!" Marill said.

"Return," Dustin withdrew his three pokemon.

"Rest is over," Shane siad, returning his pokemon.

"Lets go save the town," Jen smiled, returning Oddish and Mareep.

Meanwhile back on the main trail, a very tired Ken and Kym walked down it.

"They couldnt have just disappeared..." Ken said.

"I know..." Kym said, "I just dont know where their at!" Kym and Ken followed the dirt road. A flying bug pokemon flew by them.

"AAAHHHHHH!!!!" Kym screamed.

"A HERACROSS!" Ken's eyes light up, "I ALLWAYS WANTED ONE!"

"GET IT AWAY!!!" Kym shouted, Heracross flew back near them and landed, it ran up to Kym, "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"

"HOUNDOUR!" Ken said, summoning his dog pokemon, "EMBER!!!"

"HOUN!!!" the dog unleashed a ball of fire.

"CROSS!" Heracross started on fire and backed off Kym, "HERA HERA HERA!!!" Heracross started to chant, looking mad.

"You made it mad," Kym said.

"Ah..." Ken was speechless.

"CROSS CROSS CROSS!" the forest filled with echos, around twenty more Heracross appeared.

"CROSS!" The one Ken hurt said.

"HERA HERA!!" the other ones chanted.

"Not good..." Kym said.

"CROSS!!!" all the Heracross flew at Kym and Ken.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" the two screamed in unsion, they and Houndour were hit into the air, flying, flying, they were out of sight.

"This is a nice town," Jen told Suzzie, the streets were small and so was the population, theyre wasnt even a pokemon center here.

"Yes," Suzzie said, "It was until Azumarill came."

"Marill..." Marill said, Jen was holding Marill in her arms.

"Why are the Azumarill attacking?" Shane asked.

"I am not quite sure," Suzzie replied.

"We will get them!" Dustin said.

A scream came from the street, "HELP!!!"

"COME ON!" Dustin said, they followed the scream to any alley way with three Azumarills. "IS THAT THEM?!"

"Yeah," Suzzie said.

"MARILL!" Marill got mad and pumped.

"AZUMARILL!!!" the three Azumarills got fierce.

"PLEASE HELP!" the women screaming ran off.

"MARILL!" Marill sprayed a blast of water at the three Azumarills.

"AZU!!!" the three Azumarills used Water Gun and blasted Marill back some.

"Marill!" Jen ran up to it.

"It needs help," Dustin said, grabbing his pokeball.

"No," Jen said, "Let me do it."

"Ok..." Shane said, "But were here for back up."

"Ok," Jen held her two pokeballs, "MAREEP, ODDISH GO!!!!!"

"REP!" Mareep cried, coming out of the pokeball.

"DISH!" Oddish churped.

"Maril..." Maril jumped back into the battle.

"You three can do it!" Jen said, smiling, "MAREEP THUNDER WAVE!"

"MAREEP!" Mareep sent a static wave.

"AZU!" the Azumarill on the left was stunned.

"ODDISH STUN SPORE!" Jen commanded.

"DISH!" Oddish sprayed spores on the other two.

"AZU!" the Azumarills were all paralyzed.

"MARIL!" Marill blasted a gush of water at the three Azumarills.

"AZUMARILL!" the three cried, being knocked down.

"Thanks," Suzzie said, "I got it from here," she grabbed three pokeballs, "GO POKEBALLS!"

"AZU!" all three Marills screamed, the three pokeballs hitting them and sucking them in, the balls shocked and the red light confirmed the capture.

"Thanks Jen," Suzzie said.

"No problem," Jen replied, returning her pokemon.

"How far is Azalea town from here?" Dustin asked.

"Not far," Suzzie said.

Jen, Dustin, Shane, Marill, and Suzzie were at the entrance of the town.

"Just head east," Suzzie replied, "It is a little bit away though."

"No biggie," Dustin said.

"We need to get going," Shane said.

"Ok," Jen said, she was holding Marill, "Bye Marill," she sat it down.

"Good bye!" Suzzie waved the to the gang as they walked off. "Huh?" Suzzie said, looknig down at Marill who was nuding her leg.

"Marill, Marill!" Marill danced up and down.

"You want to go with them?" Suzzie asked.

"Marill!" Marill smiled.

"Ok," Suzzie bent down and kissed Marill on the check, "Good luck," Suzzie said, standing up and waving Marill good bye.

"MARILL!" Marill screamed running behind Dustin, Shane, and Jen.

"Huh?" Jen stoped and turned around, "MARILL!!!" Jen ran up to Marill and hugged it.

"MARIL!" Marill chirped and hugged Jen.

"Wow," Dustin told Shane, "Marill wants to join Jen."

"Yep," Shane smiled.

Jen held out her pokemon, "Marill..." Jen smiled.

"MARILL!" Marill got inside the pokeball, Jen smiled and ran up to Dustin and Shane.

"Good job you got a new friend," Dustin smiled.

"Thanks," Jen smiled back, "I got three new friends today."

"Now to Azalea Town!" Shane smiled with the two as they walked down the dirt path not knowing what new adventures await them.
