He turned his highly descriptive essay into his teacher. " Well, Well, Eric. You're going to Altomare with 7 other kids. You better leave now before you get left behind." The teacher said, allowing Eric to leave. "Alright." That was all Eric said and ran out of the school. He was in Sootopolis City and needed to get to the boat quickly. He let out Totodile, Corsola, and Vaporeon. " You 3, we need to hurry to Lilycove City before the boat takes off." Eric told his 3 water pokemon the 3 pokemon got into the water and so did Eric. The 3 pokemon tried to speed up, but trainers kept getting in their way. "Come on, we need to hurry." His pokemon finally evaded the trainers and it took a good hour to reach Lilycove. He returned his pokemon and headed for the boat. He then let out Absol and got onto Absol's back. Absol ran quickly to the boat, boarding as it started to take off. He returned Absol. He wore a tight blue t-shirt, dark blue baggy cargo jeans, and blue running shoes. His eyes where a light blue and hidden behind a pair of frame-less, light blue shades. His Dark blue hair was spiked up as usual. He was quite muscular as well. His skin tone was exceptionally smooth and white.

"Good job, Flygon," Topaz said, nodding to Flygon. It nuzzled against her. "You wanna go for a fly?"

Flygon nodded. "Maybe at Altomare," Topaz said, making Flygon drop its head. "Don't worry, it's only an hour boat. And we're almost to Altomare."

A boy bounded onto the deck with an Absol. He smiled at them.

"Hi," Topaz said.

"Hey, what are your names? Mine is Dawn." she spoke, as a large pearly horn came out from the deep, and sank back down.

"Seconds, Dice, Reptile, Garden, Luckless, return!" she yelled, as every of her Pokemon, other than Sair, who was bounding through the waters, returned to their Pokeballs. Dawn soon became quite bored. She wanted more of an ocean experience. So, she snapped her fingers, and she jumped into the water. In an instant, Sair rose about water, carrying Dawn right upon her head with ease. "Ahh, refreshing!" she spoke, although she was not really glad that she got a mouthful of seawater in her mouth from a wave-splash on the way down.

"Um, my name's Topaz, and you've met Flygon. I like your Shiny Dragonair. It's really pretty," Topaz said dreamily looking at Sair.

Flygon came over and frowned, looking at Topaz sadly. "Other than Flygon of course!" Topaz scratched Flygon behind the antennae, which caused it to make an almost purring noise and flap its wings which made it sound like someone was singing.

"Sorry, Flygon's overjealous of every other Pokemon. She'll attack anyone that's prettier than her, at least, without my permission."

"Thanks, and I understand. What is her nature? My Dragonair is quite jolly. Reptile is more of a loner, while Garden is just quiet. Dice is always a naughty little Sneazel, while Luckless is always sassy...now for Seconds...if he isn't Lax, nothing is. Oh, sorry about rambling. I rarely get to speak with intelligent lifeforms nowadays. Understand what I mean by 'intelligent' though."

Suddenly, in a flash of red, Reptile came out of his Pokeball. He ruffled his leafy scales. He made a small sound at Flygon. Then he made a big mistake, and everyone knew it. He put his arm around Flygon. Sair looked at him, and squinted. She sort of had a feeling of what would happen next...

I boarded the boat with the others and looked out upon the sea. It glistend with exitment as dawns sair reflection was in it. I woneder what altimore was like and how it would be possible to see the majestic city. We were waiting as the boat conducter said it was going to be an hour before we got there so decided to relax and train with my venusaur until we got there. Venusaur! Magical leaf! Return! Erthquake! Then we both got tired and decided to take it easy till the boat got us there.

Repltile put his arm around Flygon, and Flygon turned to Dragonbreath him. She succeeded, and Repltile flew back, landing on the boat deck. It shook its scales again and used a Hyper Beam on Flygon, knocking Flygon into the water, which was super-effective against her ground side.

"Please control your Sceptile, Dawn!" Topaz said as she fished over the boat for Flygon. Venusaur used Earthquake in the confusion and everyone that was going to Altomare fell over the boat.

Two invisible shapes were once more flating in front of Topaz.

She's special and you know it.>

Yes, everyone that we picked for Altomare is special.>

Help them, brother.>

A hurricane wind surrounded all six (?) kids and swept them halfway across the ocean, at whch point they bumped onto the streets of Altomare.

"WE'RE HERE!" Topaz said after discovering Flygon flew underwater somehow and reached them. She went to the souvenir table with Flygon and started buying everything in sight.

Noticing what he did, Dawn jumped off of Sair, recalling her back to her pokeball. Dawn approached Reptile with anger, and smacked him across the back of the head. Reptile shrieked in pain. Dawn lowered her head, and stared cruelly at Reptile. He approached Flygon, bowed in a way of respect, and approached Topaz, doing the same thing.

She stared at her surroundings. Altomare was beautiful. She would punish her usually loning Reptile later. Suddenly, her Pokeball twitched, and Luckless came out. It loved new areas, and also water. Luckless purred, nuzzled at Dawn's leg. Dawn also ran towards the souvenir table. Upon it she found many beautiful things. Among which was a charm bracelet. She also spotted a basket FULL TO THE BRIM with charms! She bought the bracelet, and gathered 8 charms. 6 of them were of her Pokemon, and the other two were of the brother and sisters, Latias and Latios. She decided to get this because she now had a fondness for the two Pokemon, seeing that they were the reason she got to Altomare at all.

She connected each charm, placing them in the order of their being caught, and placing brother and sister together. She placed it around her arm, and smiled. Luckless purred in great contentment.

At the shop, there were hats, caps, shirts, jewelry, and many random oddities of the beach...

"Okay," Topaz said nervously. "Shall we..." she looked at the charm that Dawn had gotten and tried to look for one for herself, but the other ids that had come along had already bought all them.

THE TOUR DE' ALTOMARE WILL BE STARTING IN 30 MINUTES, a megaphone boomed. Topaz excitedly signed up with Aerodactyl, her fastest Pokemon. Flygon was sad, but cheered up a little when Topaz said that she would give her the medal when she won.

"Racers, are you ready for the main event?"

Everyone cheered.

"Okay, in 5 minutes, we'll start!"

"Hmm...Luckless or Dice...sorry Dice, but Luckless is a speed demon." Dice was returned, and Luckless readied herself. Luckless was very fast, she had trained well. She swiped her claws against the ground, readying herself to run...

It was intresting to see the race was starting. I signed up with venusaur since it's my fastest pokemon. Vaporeon wasn't sad she wasnt picked cause she was relaxing in the crystal waters. I ran over to the starting point as i waited for the others.

He got off the boat. He let out Absol. " Ready to race?" Eric asked Absol. Absol nodded, slightly. "Alright, we're gonna try our best." Absol nodded again and Eric got on Absol's back behind the starting point. " Hey, you with the aerodactyl, ready to lose?" Eric laughed slightly at the prehistoric pokemon. Absol could win, without cheating anyways.

"You think you'll win!" I yelled to the kid with an Absol. I hadn't met him yet. Aerodactyl glared at the Absol, its eyes glowing a deep red. I calmed it and the megaphone boomed. "GO!"

Aero raced out of the starting line, skimming buildings with its wings. We turned this way and that, and weirdly enough, those same two shapes (remember, we don't know what they are) were racing alongside me.

I zoomed left, right, forward, and crashed into a clothes line, shaking it from me. The green water showed our reflection.

GO!

Me and Venusaur started to run on the water. There was a bridge up ahead and we jumped on it and then went back on the water. Then a sharp turn came up. We came up to it and then i said: Use VINE WHIP! He used the sleek vines to bounce off the building and continue on. I saw my vaporeon relaxing in the water as i moved on.

"Luckless, return, go Sair!" she yelled, as Sair was called out. She had bought a little spray that makes your Pokemon smaller, therefore Sair became as big as a Charizard, instead of a Lugia. She pulled Dawn past the starting point, and swam fast and feriously.
"Ahh, use psychic!" Dawn yelled to Sari. she moved away an obstacle, then placed it back. But still, Topaz remained in the lead...

"Aero, use Ancientpower to stop the other racers!"

Rocks came up and created a wall in front of everyone. Aero smiled. Then his arms were tugged and he went way faster.

"WHAT'S GOING ON!" I asked as I was literally almost pulled off Aero. We zoomed at lightspeed. We raced across the finish line and I cheered, then fell off Aero.

Aero came down to see if I was okay. I nodded and laughed, then returned Aero ti his Ultra Ball.

The other racers were coming up fast now, including Sair and Dawn. Sair was spinning out of control and going way too fast, and Topaz would be run over...

Sair suddenly flew into the air and regained her stature. She flew back down, and raced calmly towards the finish line. She was unhappy, for her Dragonair was hurt, for she tried to dodge the rocks in front of her, and skidded. As she crossed the finish line, she flew up to the sky, and into the actual ocean. She transformed back to full stature. Then, she was returned to her Pokeball.

I screamed, half the racers were coming toward me. The same two shapes I had seen almost every minute of every hour came below me and whipped up a water tornado that threw me back onto the ground. I almost cracked my neck but one of the shapes caught me and lowered me gently to the ground. It flew away.

"Weird," I said as I watched the racers go past.

After the race, I got this really cool medallion. It had the shapes engraved on it. I waled over with everyone else to the fountain and sat down.

"Wait a minute, where's Eric?" I asked, looking for the Venusaur racer...
