Author's Note: Hello! I'm back! Not that I was away or anything…
Now enough craziness.
I'll need those profiles by… *checks mega-complicated watch, full of weird and unusual compartments and devices* chapter five! Not that tells you anything…
Also, thank you to Alakazam Trainer who has already sent in a profile! Your character will first be mentioned in this chapter, then further in chapter 5. Also, I hope I didn't overdo his cold nature… But it's so fun to write about cold and evil characters! J
Ok, now, here is the chappie!
Onto the story!

Soul of Dragons
Chapter Three: Battle for the Badge, pt 2
***
'It shall be a two-on-two battle. Choose your Pokemon now,' said the referee of the match.
Roxanne threw a ball. 'Go, Geodude!'
Dain selected a ball, and threw it. 'Go, Sierra!'
His newly-named Swablu appeared, ready for battle.
'Geodude, Rock Throw!'
'Sierra, Dragon Rage!'
The two attacks met, and most of the boulders were destroyed. One, however, came through and hit Sierra.
The little bird stumbled, but stood up again.
'Sierra, Dragon Rage, now!'
The attack connected this time, and Geodude was thrown back.
Unfortunately, the rock Pokemon got back up, even though it was visibly weak.
'Geodude, Rock Tomb!'
Rocks seemed to float above Sierra as Geodude attacked with the Gym's signature move, throwing the Swablu back.
Once again the bird got up, only to fall again.
The bad match up had taken its toll.
'Swablu is unable to battle! Geodude wins the round!' the referee called.
'Sierra, return!' Dain called, and the Pokemon disappeared back into her ball. 'Go, Bagon!'
In a flash of light, the Dragon appeared.
'Bagon, Water Gun!'
The jet of water hit a surprised trainer, and an equally surprised Roxanne recalled him.
'Geodude is unable to battle! Bagon wins the round!' the referee called again.
'Ok, then, go Nosepass!'
A weird Pokemon, which looked like a rock with legs and a huge nose, appeared, and faced Bagon. 'Nosepass, Rock Slide!'
Dain knew he was in trouble. Dragon types were bad against rock. He was proven right when the attack connected, and Bagon was knocked back.
'Bagon! Are you all right!' Dain called, as the dragon slammed into the wall.
Bagon got up, and nodded.
'Bagon! Water Gun!'
Again the jet of water shot from Bagon's mouth.
With speed remarkable for something its size and weight, Nosepass dodged the attack.
'Nosepass, counter with Rock Tomb!'
Once again rocks fell from the ceiling, and floated above Bagon.
'Bagon, dodge it!'
The Dragon ran to escape the rocks, but one still hit him.
Bagon stumbled, but got back up.
'Nosepass! Finish it! Rock Slide!'
Once again the rocks rained down, but this time Bagon was unable to dodge it.
The Dragon fell, and Dain knew he had lost.
'Bagon is unable to battle! Roxanne wins the battle!' the referee declared.
Dain recalled Bagon, and left the Gym sadly.

Alan McNathan looked down at his Poke balls, remembering each and every capture.
Dragonite, evolved from a Dratini caught in the Dragon's Den.
Tyranitar, evolved from a Larvitar caught in Silver Cave.
Espeon, evolved from an Eevee given to him in Goldenrod City.
Mew, a rare and amazing Pokemon, met in Silver cave.
Typhlosion, evolved from his very first Pokemon.
And, of course, a Pokemon he had never seen before, one he assumed was a one-of-a-kind. He had simply named it the Dark Magician.
He motioned to the four trainers behind him.
'Come.'
***
Dain walked along the streets of Rustboro sadly, and headed for the Pokemon Center.
He healed his team, then went south to the small pond on the outskirts.
Sitting by the water, Dain watched the sun set, when a stream of water erupted from the surface and hit him in the face.
He looked down, and glared at the small Pokemon.
Then he got an idea.
***
'Landon, you look in Rustboro,' Alan ordered the white haired teenager.
Landon smiled, but it never touched his eyes. 'You can count on it,' he said in a cold voice, and exited the room.
When he left, Alan sighed.
***
Dain looked down and saw the Horsea.
Horsea was a Water type, and Water types were strong against Rock…
'Sierra, go!' The bird appeared in a flash of light.
'Go! Peck!' Sierra attacked, and Horsea was thrown back.
'Horseeea!'
The Horsea Tackled Sierra, then shot a Water Gun at her. It did minor damage, and Sierra spun around to face her opponent.
'Sierra, Dragon Rage!'
The blue flames billowed from Sierra's beak, and struck Horsea.
Horsea fell, and, luckily for Dain, ended up on the ground.
Dain unbuckled an Ultra Ball from his belt, and threw it at Horsea.
The Pokemon turned into energy, and got sucked into the ball.
The ball fell to the ground, turned once, twice, three times, then with a soft PING! the shutting mechanism fell into place.
As the ball closed, Dain got a strange sensation of being watched…
He shook it off, and picked the ball up and, with new hopes, returned to the Pokemon Center.
***
After getting his new Pokemon healed, he set off for some training.
Heading to the tunnel east of Rustboro, he found some Pokemon to battle.
A wild Whismur appeared, and attacked.
'Go! Horsea!'
Dain released his newest Pokemon.
'Horsea! Water Gun!'
The Pokemon, being Rock type, immediately fell.
Dain continued on in search of new battles.
***
Two hours later he returned to the Poke Center, exhausted.
He had gotten in quite a lot of training, and Bagon had learned a new attack, Iron Tail!
He instantly proceeded to his room, and fell asleep in seconds.
***
In the morning Dain entered the lobby, rubbing sleep from his eyes.
'Some breakfast, please,' he said, then stifled a jaw-cracking yawn.
Well, he might have overdone it with the training…
He had some toast from breakfast, stopping Bagon before he ate too much again, and almost getting Sierra stuck to the wall in the process.
He left the center still smiling.
Now to see if his new Pokemon was up to the Gym!
***
Alan watched as the young trainer entered Rustboro Gym for what seemed to be a rematch.
He had also seen the trainer capture his Horsea yesterday, and thought he had a good chance.
***
Dain entered the Gym and once again felt like he was being watched.
He sighed, and continued into the arena.
Once again Roxanne sat at the far end of the hall.
'Roxanne,' Dain called, 'I challenge you to rematch!'
Roxanne leaped up, and landed on the floor crouching.
'You think you have a chance? I don't think so! I accept your challenge!'
to be continued…
Oh, I'm evil! Sooooo evil!
Btw, I still need those profiles, or no chappie five! *shakes finger under your nose*
