***Hey everyone, it's finally the weekend(and i'm SO glad) anyways here comes ch51, so please enjoy!***

~A Split Second!~

As our heros travel on their way to a short stop in Ecruteak and then Mahagony Town they make it to a thick forest area.

"Look!" Jen pointed to a heard of Zubats attack something, there was five of them, they swoop down on the victim quickly one by one.

"What are they attacking?" Shane asked.

"We gotta save it," Dustin enlarged his fastball, "Go Pichu! Use Thunder Bolt!" he threw the fastball and sent out the small mouse.

"Chu!" Pichu ran to the Zubats, it jumped in the air and summoned a flashy yellow lightning bolt, shocking the Zubats and making them flee.

"Oh no you don't," Shane replied as he enlarged a pokeball, "Pokeball go!" he slung the red and white ball which sucked up one of the Zubats, the other four flew off squeeking.

"Got it," Shane smiled as he walked up and picked up the pokeball containing the captured Zubat. "Sweet!"

"Good job," Jen replied as he and Dustin walked to Shane, "Look!" she pointed at the pokemon the Zubats were attacking, a hurt Poliwhirl.

"A Poliwhirl," Dustin said as he enlarged a pokeball.

"What are you doing?" Shane quickly asked.

"I'm gonna catch it and then heal at a center," Dustin answered.

"Please don't!" a small girl around seven with light blue short hair walked from the bushes, "That's my Poliwhirl!"

"Your Poliwhirl?" Jen was surprised.

"Yes," she sat down and sprayed Poliwhirl with a potion, the girl was dressed in a casual light blue dress.

"Your Poliwhirl was getting attacked," Shane informed her.

"I'm such a bad trainer," she sighed, "-Oh excuss me, my name is Lil," she smiled, "And this is the amazing Poliwhirl!"

"Whirl!" Poliwhirl jumped up as it's trainer did too.

"I'm Dustin."

"Shane."

"Jen," she smiled back, "Where are you from, it's dangerous for you to be so far away from adults."

"I'm not far away," Lil replied, "My home is close, I live in Duo Town, it's right this way, come on I'll feed you guys."

"Well," Shane started to refuse but his stomache grumbled, "I guess we could use a bite to eat...and some rest!"

Meanwhile in the bushes a very evil Bonnie and Clyde watched as the gang and Lil walked away.

"Duo Town," Bonnie told Clyde, "It's famouse for rare pokemon like Poliwrath and Politoed!"

"Don't forget Slowpoke and Slowking!" Clyde added.

"And Vileplume and Bellosom!" Bonnie smirked, "I know! We can follow them and steal their pokemon!"

"Perfect!" Clyde evily grinned.

"Wow," Jen replied upon walking into the medium size town, very tradational and full of pokemon.

"It is nice," Shane chuckled, Dustin and Lil walked into the town. "Wait up!" Shane replied as he and Jen followed behind them.

The gang walked into Lil's huge house, they made their way to the living room where a family, all with blue hair and eyes, sat, two males and one female.

"Mom, dad!" Lil said, "These are my friends, they helped me save Poliwhirl from some Zubats! They've never been here in Duo Town."

"Really?" the older man replied, "I'm Lil's dad, this is her mom and brother," he introduced everyone.

"I'm Dustin," he said, "This is Jen and Shane."

"You've never been to Duo Town?" the dad said, he and the wife were sitting on a couch while the son was sitting in a chair.

"This town is famous for pokemon with branched evolutions," the mom smiled, "Do you have any pokemon with branched evolutions?"

"-Uh?" Dustin thought.

"I do," Jen said, "I have a Gloom. And I've been wanting to evolve it, but I wasn't sure which form I wanted."

"I have both a Vileplume and Bellosom," the mom smiled, "Would you like to see them?" she asked as Jen nodded. She sent out the two grass pokemon from her pokeball.

"I have Poliwrath!" the dad annouced.

"I use Poliwhirl's other form," the brother replied.

"And I don't know what I want Poliwhirl to evolve to..." Lil sighed.

"Their both so beatiful," Jen pet Vileplume and Bellosom. "I don't know what I want my Gloom to evolve to."

"I have a Leaf Stone and Sun Stone," the mom said, "If you decide."

"Hey your a trainer right Dustin?" the son questioned.

"Yeah," Dustin answered, "I've got six badges."

"How about a battle?" the son, Toni asked.

"Sure," Dustin smiled.

The gang along with the family walked to the backyard, a small clearing.

"Let's use one each," Toni offered as Dustin nodded, the two were far enough for a battle while Lil and her parents, Jen and Shane watched.

"Go Phanpy!" Dustin threw his pokeball and sent out the small elephant pokemon.

"Go Politoed!" Toni threw his pokeball and revealed a clapping toad pokemon. "Water Gun now!"

"Defense Curl!" Dustin shouted.

"Phan!" Phanpy curled in ball and endured the wet attack from Politoed.

"Mind Reader!" Toni smirked.

"Water Gun!" Dustin countered.

Before Politoed could attack Phanpy blew out a cold jet of water from it's nose, knocking Politoed back about a foot.

"Your friend is a strong battler," Lil's father replied, "But Toni is good too."

"Water Gun!" Toni directed.

"Toed!" Politoed bellowed out a jet of blue water, hitting Phanpy hard and knocking it back a couple of feet.

"Another one!" Toni shouted, "Full power!"

"Rapid Spin!" Dustin smiled.

"Phan!" Phanpy chirped and curled in a ball, spining and blowing away the water attack, it spun into Politoed and knocked it out.

"Uh-?" Toni sighed and withdrew Politoed, "Good job."

"You too," Dustin smiled, "Phanpy awesome job as allways," he withdrew it. "Your Politoed was tough."

"Thanks," Toni replied, "Phanpy was cool too."

"I still havent decided," Lil sighed as Poliwhirl walked behind her. "Maybe I just Poliwhirl to stay Poliwhirl."

"No!" Toni corrected Lil.

"Now Toni," Lil's mom stoped him, "If your sister wants to keep Poliwhirl in it's current state that's fine."

"Fine," Toni sighed. "If you want to be weak go ahead."

"Have you came to a decision yet?" Lil's mom asked Jen.

"I can't," Jen replied as she stood up from petting Vileplume and Bellosom, "At least not yet anyways."

"I understand," Lil's mom replied.

"Just look," Toni sent out Politoed agian, "Don't you want your Poliwhirl to become this?"

"No," Lil shouted.

"Your skills are strong," Lil's dad said, he was stern, dressed in a three- piece suit, "Would you like to battle?" he asked Dustin.

"Sure," Dustin replied, "One each?"

"Works for me," Lil's dad got in the area as Dustin took his place. "Go Poliwrath!" Lil's dad slung a pokeball summoning Poliwrath.

"Bayleef go!" Dustin sent out his grass type. "Vine Whip now!"

"Bay!" Bayleef extended it's vines and tried whipping Poliwrath. The blue pokemon grabed the vines however and slung Bayleef about a foot.

"Poliwrath use Psywave!" Lil's dad shouted.

"Poli!" Poliwrath's stomache began to spin as a purple wave blew from it's stomache, smacking Bayleef back about another foot.

"Water Gun!" Lil's dad ordered.

"Sunny Day now!" Dustin countered.

Before the water hit Bayleef it evaporated because of the heat intensity Bayleef brought through the ability.

"Now Synethis!"

"Bay..." the weakened pokemon began to glow, "Bay!" it recovered and was now ready for more action.

"Razor Leaf!"

"Water Gun!"

"Bay!" Bayleef's leaves knocked Poliwrath out before it could even start it's water attack.

"Nice try," Lil's dad replied as he went to withdrew Poliwrath, but a net from the air took it first. "Huh?"

"Huh?" Lil's mom and brother said as their pokemon were took into the air by the net. They looked up and saw an air baloon.

"Not them!" Dustin grunted.

"Prepare for trouble," Bonnie began.

"Make it double," Clyde got in the beat.

"To abolish the world with devistation!"

"To destroy people of every nation!"

"To annouce the evils of darkness and love!"

"To extend our wrath to the stars above!"

"Bonnie!" she smirked as Poliwrath, Politoed, Vileplume, and Bellosom were traped in a net under the baloon.

"Clyde!"

"They got our pokemon!" Toni shouted, "Give 'em back!"

"Never!" Clyde laughed.

"Lil," Lil's mom said, "We need your help, use Poliwhirl."

"Right," Lil nodded, "Poliwhirl use Water Gun!"

"Bayleef Razor Leaf!" Dustin directed.

Poliwhirl sprayed a water jet from it's stomache as Bayleef slung two leaves with a twirl of it's leaf, the leaf attack freeing the pokemon and the water ability shooting Team Rocket into the sky.

"We're blasting off agian!" Bonnie and Clyde cried in unision as they were jolted into the air and out of sight.

"Politoed!" Toni grabed his pokemon, "Thanks Lil."

"Good job," her dad replied as he got his pokemon back.

"You did it!" Dustin smiled as Lil's mom got her two grass types back. "Great job!"

"And you didn't have to evolve anything," Shane responded.

"Thanks for showing me that," Lil said.

The gang was now on the outskirts of Duo Town.

"You won't stay?" Lil's mom asked, the family was sad to see the gang leave.

"We have to get going," Jen told them.

"Good luck," Dustin replied.

"You too," Lil said as the gang left, Lil's family waved them good bye.

"You didn't evolve Gloom," Shane said as the gang walked down a dirt road.

"Didn't need too," Jen smiled, "Not yet."

"Maybe never," Shane added.

"I can't wait!" Dustin smiled.

"Til when?" Shane asked in confusion.

"I become a Pokemon Master!" Dustin said out of the blue, the gang laughed as they traveled on their way.
