CHAPTER 4
WHAT'S THAT POKEMON? Gena was jealous that Catherine had caught a Squirtle, so she had gone to brood in Mt. Moon. "Stupid Squirtle, who wants one anyway?" Gena asked the darkness. "Bat-bat," came a reply, suddenly a Zubat flew out of the darkness and hovered around her. Gena nodded, she knew she had to catch this Zubat. "Go, Rattata," she said as the Pokeball released her beloved Rattata. "Rattata, use Superfang," Rattata rushed to do her bidding and chomped down hard on Zubat's wing. Zubat fell to the ground, unable to fly. "Alright, Pokeball go," Gena said excitedly, throwing the ball. Zubat disappeared in the red light. The ball shook once, twice, then it exploded and Zubat crawled out angrily. It then proceeded to use Leech-Life. Rattata moaned and fell, having lost a portion of its energy. Zubat got up and flapped its wings experimentally, because now that it had drained Rattata's energy it could fly again. "Rattata, use Hyperfang followed by Tackle!" Rattata chomped down hard into Zubat while ramming it with Tackle. Zubat fell to the floor, unable to go on. "Alright! Pokeball, go," Gena said, throwing her last Pokeball. Zubat once again disappeared into a red light. The Pokeball shook once, twice, three times. "Yes! I caught a Zubat!" Gena shouted. Suddenly, she heard a rumble so she turned and ran.

Alex and Catherine were resting as they were having a day off training. Suddenly they heard a rumble and they leapt up. "What was that?" Catherine asked, fear in her voice. "I don't know, but keep close," Alex said. A sudden nose made them turn and they were just in time to see the entrance to Mt. Moon collapsing. "Gena was in there!" Catherine cried and ran towards the blockage. "Wait Catherine, its to dangerous," called Alex. "Your brothers right, but we wouldn't mind one less bothersome loser," came a voice. "Who are you?" Catherine called into the shadows. "They call me Hugh," said the owner of the voice, stepping out into the light. "I'm known as Nick," said a different voice. "And I'm Matthew," came a third. "Together we make up Team Trat's most powerful henchmen!" They shouted in unison.
Alex and Catherine instinctively drew their Pokeballs. "Go, Lava," Alex shouted throwing Magby's ball. "You too Squirtle," Catherine cried and in a blaze of light Magby and Squirtle appeared. "Fine, go Develisk," called Matthew, throwing an orange Pokeball with a red flame on it in the air. It released an odd looking Pokemon. It looked like a devil. It was a short creature with a round head and body and held a trident in its two paws, it was also surrounded in an ongoing flame. Develisk tensed itself and growled. "And to make it even, go Saintara," said Hugh, releasing Saintara from its red and white Pokeball with a blue dewdrop on it. As Saintara appeared, you could tell it was the complete opposite of Develisk.
This Pokemon glowed with a faint blue aura and had a halo above its head. It had no arms however and so relied on water attacks. "What are they?" Catherine asked, pulling out her Pokedex. "No data," came the reply.
"Fat lot of help that was," said Catherine, "but since Develisk is fire, Squirtle, Water Gun!" Catherine said, pointing at the target. "Saintara, block with your own Water Gun," said Hugh quickly. "Now Lava, Fire Punch Saintara," said Alex. Magby hit with a tremendously heated punch, but Saintara didn't even flinch. "Now its our turn, Develisk, Ember!" Matthew said.
"Block with your Ember Lava," Alex said, countering Matthew's attack. But it seemed that at the moment it was a tie. When suddenly, "Jolteon, Thunder!" Said a powerful voice. A large amount of electricity gathered over Saintara and struck with such high power, that it was knocked out.
"Good, now Squirtle, Bubblebeam Develisk," Catherine said. And from that Catherine and Alex defeated Team Trat. "Return," said two annoyed voices, "We'll be back, losers," said Hugh before turning with Matthew and Nick to leave. Alex and Catherine turned to see a boy standing, with a now full Pokeball (with Jolteon inside) He looked tired. "You were lucky to win, next time you may not be so lucky. I myself had a Flareon stolen," he said.
"Oh! That's terrible!" Alex said. "By the way, I'm Alex, who are you?" "They call me, Reistar, I'm an Eevee trainer," he said extending his hand, which Alex strongly shook. "And this is my little sister Catherine," said Alex. "So, do you want to battle," asked Reistar hopefully. "Maybe soon, but right now we need to help Gena, our third member of our team," said Alex. "Right," said Reistar. They set off at a run to Mt. Moon.

"Oh, no," said Reistar as he saw the state of Mt. Moon. "Well there's only one thing to do, go, Tyrogue!" Reistar said, releasing the fighting Pokemon. "Clear some of the rock," Reistar commanded. As Tyrogue worked, Alex asked, "But I thought you said that you were an Eevee trainer," "I am, but I started with Tyrogue and I would never let him go," said Reistar. Soon there was a hole big enough for them to crawl through. "Lets go," said Alex. The three of them nodded and crawled inside. "Gena!" Alex called, cupping his hands to magnify his voice. A small cry was heard a fair way off. "This way," pointed Catherine.

Reistar, you were correct in your guess, but since you are now in the story, then anybody can e-mail me his or her Pokemon trainer profile. My e-mail is:
