How's it going today, people? I'm happy to let you know that I'm here with an update to my "Journey Through Gumarro" story. I know that it's pretty early but I just want to give you this lovely chapter. But before that, replies to reviewers:

Spring hawk from Scotland in Ireland

Thanks for the compliment on Flamine. I could try to put in personality between the Pokemon but I'm not very good at doing that. Sorry.

That's all for the reviews for right now so here's Chapter 3, people.

Journey Through Gumarro

Chapter 3: Battle With Team Rocket

"Cubone! Use your Tackle attack!" Molly shouted.

"Cubone!" Cubone shouted as he ran in and tackled into Bluronto and Aneguin.

"Quick, Bluronto! Try your own Tackle attack!" Kellen shouted.

"Blur!" Bluronto shouted as he ran and tackled back into Cubone.

Meanwhile, Mapletto and Flamine weren't having very much luck fighting against Armearth because Armearth was a Rock and Ground-type Pokemon while the attacks that the two starter Pokemon were using were Normal-based. Then, Armearth ran in and Tackled right into the two Pokemon.

"Aneguin! Peck attack!" Luke shouted.

(A/N: Sorry, I made a mistake about one of Aneguin's attacks.)

"Aneguin!" Aneguin shouted as he ran in and pecked Cubone rapidly.

While Cubone was trying to catch his breath, Bluronto ran in and used a Slam attack on the bone-masked Pokemon, using his tail. Suddenly, Armearth curled himself up into a ball and Tackled right into the four Pokemon. Cubone was about to club Flamine on the head with his bone but Mapletto and Bluronto both used their tails to swat him rapidly.

"Great job, Bluronto! Now use your Tail Whip attack!" Kellen shouted.

Bluronto turned around and started moving his tail side to side multiple times. Cubone and Armearth were both distracted as they watched Bluronto's tail moving side to side like an Egyptian Cobra. The two Pokemon were so distracted from watching Bluronto's tail moving that their defense was lowered.

Suddenly, the four trainers heard someone say, "Tygra! Use Aurora Beam!"

Then, a tiger-like Pokemon ran out, opened its mouth, and fired a colorful beam in the colors of the aurora borealis that hit both Cubone and Armearth. The attack appeared to be super effective because both Cubone and Armearth were Ground-type Pokemon so they both fainted. Kellen got a good look at this brand new Pokemon. It had the appearance of a Siberian tiger with white fur, stood on four legs, had navy blue stripes on its back and head and around its legs, three gray spikes sticking up on its back, a long lizard-like tail, and gold electric prods on its head.

"Tygra!" The Pokemon roared.

Then, a young girl with black hair and green eyes appeared. She was obviously the one who owned the Tygra and told them to attack Team Rocket's Pokemon. Kellen smiled to himself because he was glad that a trainer with a Pokemon at a higher level showed up to help them out.

"Hey! What's the big idea of interrupting our battle?" Molly asked in anger.

"Yeah! Who are you and why did you do that to our Pokemon?" Sheldon asked.

"I'm Shannon and I have been training Pokemon since last year. Tygra, send them flying with an Iron Tail attack!" The girl, known as Shannon, shouted.

"Tyg!" Tygra shouted, leaping into the air as his tail glowed white then used to whack Molly, Sheldon, and their Pokemon, sending them flying across the distance.

"Hey, thanks for helping us out, Shannon. I didn't realize that your Tygra had a lot of strength to take on those bozos," Kellen said with a smile on his face.

"Well, I'm still a beginning trainer. Now what is your name?" Shannon asked.

"I'm Kellen. This is my Pokemon pal, Bluronto," Kellen said.

"Blur," Bluronto said while waving.

"We'd like to stick around, Kellen. But we've got our own paths to follow," Farley said as him, Tanya, and Luke returned their Pokemon back into their Pokeballs.

"Well, I'll see you around," Kellen said before him and Bluronto walked out towards the forest on the outskirts of Platinum Town.

The duo walked and walked until they encountered a brand new Pokemon. It was a walking stick with gold skin, purple compound eyes, bright orange mandibles on its face, a pair of antennae on its head that looked more like leaves, four arms with purple claws on them, sharp spikes on its back, and bony shells on its knees.

"Well, Bluronto, looks like today is our lucky day. I really think that Sticklash will be perfect for me, wouldn't ya think?" Kellen asked.

"Blur Blur, "Bluronto said while nodding.

"Alright then, Bluronto, go get it!" Kellen shouted.
