The next day, Misty, Brock and Ash are showing their Pokémon to the Senshi and Mamoru. "These are just some of the Pokémon that are known. There's 150 known Pokémon and plenty more waiting to be discovered," Brock explains.

"How do they work?" Taiki asks.

"Basically, a ten year old can get a trainer's license. He or she is excused from school to travel around collecting many different types. Each trainer receives a personally programmed Pokédex from the person they receive their starter Pokémon from. The Pokédex keeps track of the Pokémon you've caught or seen, as well as gives valuable information about each Pokémon. You generally receive either a Squirtle, Charmander or Bulbasaur as a starter. I got there late that day, so all that was left was Pikachu. Along the way, though, I ended up getting the three starter Pokémon. To train a Pokémon, you fight it against other Pokémon either in the wild or in what's called a trainer battle. That's where two trainers fight their Pokémon against each other. The purpose of fighting wild Pokémon or in a trainer battle is to get experience for your Pokémon. As the level of your Pokémon increases, it will learn new moves. Also on your journey, a goal is to collect the eight gym badges. Each one has a different ability. Some make your Pokémon whose levels are up to a certain point obey you. Others increase their abilities slightly," Ash says.

"As the level of your Pokémon increases, it learns new moves. Most Pokémon will not stay in one form the whole time you train them. They evolve into a new form. Some, like Pikachu can't evolve no matter what level they are. Pikachu needs the Thunderstone to move onto his second form, which is also his final one, Raichu. Some Pokémon have two forms and others have three. Charmander has three. He starts as Charmander, then evolves into Charmeleon and his final stage is Charizard."

"Now let's give you your Pokémon," Brock says. The Pokémon are divided up as follows:

Usagi: Pikachu, Cubone, Meowth (talking), Nidoran (boy), Squirtle, Slowpoke

Taiki yells, "Why do I get the stupid looking fish?"

"We picked the Pokemon's names out of a hat. You got what names came out for you."

Chibi Chibi runs over to Brock and pulls on his pants leg. "Chibi Chibi."

Brock looks over to Usagi, who says, "She wants one, too, Brock."

Brock says, "Well, we just happen to have one that's perfect for her." Brock hands Chibi Chibi an egg that is just starting to hatch. "It's name is Togepi. They'll be fine together."

A minute later, Usagi says, "What do I do with these things again?"

Ash, Misty and Brock fall over in shock. "We'll explain it again later," Ash says.

"Why don't you battle each other? This way, your Pokémon gain experience," Misty says.

The Senshi all look at each other, shrug their shoulders and say, "Why not?" The first match will be Minako versus Chibi-Usa.

"You can only use three Pokémon each. The rules are that only one Pokémon per trainer can be fighting at any given time. Once one trainer's Pokémon is knocked out, then you may recall your Pokémon and send out another one."

Grabbing a Pokeball, Minako throws it and says, "Vulpix go!" Chibi-Usa throws a Pokeball and says, "Caterpie, go!"

"Vulpix, use your flame thrower attack," Minako commands. Vulpix shot fire at Caterpie and knocked Caterpie out in one shot.

Simultaneously, Minako and Chibi-Usa yell, "Vulpix return! Caterpie return!" They choose their next Pokémon and yell, "Go Magnemite! Go Farfetch'd!"

Minako says, "Magnemite, thunder shock!" Magnemite shot electricity at Farfetch'd, but the attack missed.

"Farfetch'd, slash attack," Chibi Usa says. Farfetch'd slashed Magnemite and knocked him out.

Simultaneously, Minako and Chibi-Usa yell, "Magnemite return! Farfetch'd return!" They choose their next Pokémon and yell, "Go Ponyta! Go Lapras!"

Chibi Usa directs Lapras to use its water gun attack while Minako directs Ponyta to use its agility attack. Lapras continually shot water at Ponyta, but Ponyta avoided each shot by using its great speed. Minako then directed Ponyta to use its fire spin attack. Ponyta shot out fire which formed a tornado and knocked out Lapras.

"Minako wins," Brock yells. "The next match will be Makoto vs. Haruka. Choose three Pokémon."

"Hitmonchan go," yelled Makoto.

"Haruka yelled, "Onix, go!" Haruka directs Onix, "Onix, slam attack!"

"Counter it with your Ice Punch," Mako yells to Hitmonchan.

Onix tried to hit Hitmonchan with his tail, but missed. Then, Hitmonchan's hand was surrounded in ice and punched Onix in the chin. Onix was stunned.

"Hitmonchan, finish it off with your Mega Punch," Mako yells. Hitmonchan punched Onix with so much force it sent him flying a few feet.

"Onix, return!" Haruka yells angrily.

"Hitmonchan return!" Mako yells.

"Go Spearow! Go Jolteon!" Haruka and Mako yell.

Haruka directs, "Spearow, peck!" Spearow kept pecking Jolteon on the head. Jolteon got extremely mad from this.

"Jolteon, pin missile!" Jolteon shot hairs that were like spikes at Spearow, knocking Spearow to the ground. "Jolteon, thunderbolt!" Jolteon sent a powerful bolt at Spearow and finished him off.

"Return Spearow! Jolteon return!" The girls simultaneously call back their Pokémon and send out their final Pokémon, "Go Zubat! Go Krabby!"

"Krabby, bubble attack," Mako yells.

"Zubat, wing attack," Haruka commands.

Krabby shot bubbles at Zubat and missed. Then, Zubat flew down and smacked Krabby and knocked him upside down. Krabby began to glow and evolved into Kingler. "Kingler, water gun!" Kingler shot water at Zubat and knocked him out.

After all the Senshi had battled, Minako, Makoto, Rei, Usagi, Michiru, Setsuna and Seiya came out as winners.
