A/N: Here's chapter three of my story. I hope you enjoy this chapter, but remember: I'll only post chapter four after I get five more reviews. That means, added to the six I have now, I should have eleven. After that, I'll post chapter four. In case your wondering, I can publish it right away because it's all ready to go. So please review!

Chapter three: First Battles

Sierra's P.O.V.

My friends and I quickly parted ways with the boys. While they went one way, Brendan and Drew went off on their own. I doubt either of them will get to the right places. We will see Brendan at any city and town that have gyms in it. And we will see Drew at any cities or towns that have contests in it.

At Oldale town, we somehow met Brendan. I didn't think he was stopping there, and even though only an hour passed after my big first battle, I asked Brendan if he wanted to battle with me.

" Sure!" Brendan answered. " I caught a new pokemon. The only problem is that it knocked Mudkip out hard. So I only have my new pokemon to battle with," he finished up.

" Is Mudkip going to be alright?" Misty asked.

" I guess," Brendan said.

My friends and I exchanged confused looks. He seemed nervous now. This was so unlike Brendan. ' Oh well,' I thought. ' I can't keep thinking about this. I need to get on with my second battle. Well actually my first against a trainer.'

" Lets battle!" I said.

That seemed to get him moving. " Alright! Lets see what you've got! Go ZiggZagoon!" he called.

" Alright Poochyena, lets see what you've got!" I yelled.

" How cool! What a cute ZiggZagoon!" Misty complemented ( she was serving as judge).

" Thanks!" Brendan said. He stared at Misty.

" What?" she asked, disgusted.

" Oh, um I…" Brendan started. He wasn't paying attention to the battle. Something was wrong with him, but right about now, I didn't care. " Poochyena, use tackle, and then go into a bite!" I called. It did just that.

" Oh no!" Misty cried in unison with Brendan. Brendan looked over at Misty again. She paused, and then said " Go Sierra, that's showing him! And Brendan, will you please stop looking at me like that. Its creepy!"

I could tell Brendan felt bad, but I didn't know why. Ever since my birthday passed, Brendan has started to act weird toward Misty. Could it be that… Nah! But what if it's true? Does Brendan have a crush on Misty?

Brendan's P.O.V.

' Why did Misty just diss me like that? I thought she was starting to like me! That would never happen.' I thought.

" Poochyena, finish this with tackle!" Sierra called.

" Darn, I wasn't paying attention!" I said quietly so only I could hear. But everyone else already knew. Ziggzagoon was out of the game, and Sierra was congratulating Poochyena. I returned Ziggzagoon and then saw that Sara was missing. Where could she be?

" Where is…" I started when I heard someone call my name.

" Hey Brendan!" It was Sara. " Nurse Joy was calling your name, so I decided to see what was up. Turn's out your Mudkip's ready to go."

" Thanks I said, taking the pokeball from her.

" Sierra, I saw the battle! Great job!" Sara told her.

" Hey Sierra, want to go again? Your Torchic against my Mudkip?" I asked.

" Sure! Prepare for another trip to the pokemon center!" she said.

At first, I was surprised. But then I remembered that Sierra had nerves of steel. She was crazier than her brother. She was defiantly smarter and less dense, judging by what Misty says. She's also more fearless, cares for pokemon a bit more, and, dare I say it: she might be better than him. She might be better than one of my heroes (My other one is my father, and my third is Norman, gym leader of Petalburg City.) Ash Ketchum's kid sister, better than him? That was defiantly something to think about.

" You know I'll have the advantage," I pointed out.

" I don't care!" Sierra said. " Prepare to hit the dirt!"

" No way!" I said. I was totally focused this time. No more worrying about what Misty thinks until after this battle. And so out battle began, with Misty once again serving as judge.

A/N: In case you are wondering, May will be in this story later on. And I bet you can guess who Brendan will end up with. Remember to review, and then I can update!
