A/N: Sorry about the bad Chapter 4 and long wait. To tell you the truth, it was one of my worst. I was having an off day when I wrote it.
Chapter 5: Andy
The battle would have gone better due to the fact Static was an electric type and Falkner trained Flying type Pokemon. However, Aaron had decided to use Cyndaquill for his first pokemon. During the battle, Cyndaquill evolved. Then it fainted after battling Pidgeot. Static ended the battle with a high powered Thundershock
After the battle
"Pi Pikachu pika?" (Hey. What's that?)
Static was pointing to a tall tower.
"That? I'm not sure."
Aaron read the sign in front of the structure Static was pointing at.
SPROUT TOWER: EXPERIENCE THE WAY OF POKEMON
"Sounds interesting. Want to go check it out?"
"Pika." (Sure)
0000
Inside the Sprout Tower,
"Ok. It's a swinging pillar."
Static seemed hypnotized by the swaying of the pillar with his rocking at the same rate it was.
"Pikachu." (Boring)
"Excuse me." Aaron asked an older woman.
"Yes sonny?"
"Can you tell me a little bit about the tower?"
"Of course. A Bellsprout over 100 feet tall… people say that it became the center pillar here."
"Ok. Next person." Aaron said uncertain as he turned to an older man next to a set of stairs.
"Excuse me sir."
"Yes?"
"Can you tell me a little bit about the tower?"
"Of course. Sprout Tower was built long ago as a place for pokemon training."
"Now we're talking."
"As a matter of fact," a young woman came up to Aaron, "See the pillar shaking?"
"Yeah."
"People are training upstairs."
"Really?"
"You may go up there if you like." The older man told Aaron.
"YOU BET!"

After battling three trainers, Aaron and Static made it to the top. After another three more, Aaron saw a boy with brown hair and green eyes about four years older than himself finishing a battle with another old man.
"Thanks for the battle." The 14 year old said
"No problem. You are a fine trainer Andrew."
"Thank you. I must say, your Pokemon are really strong."
"So Andrew, when are you going to go fulfill your dream?"
"I'm not sure. I was kind of hoping I could find someone who wouldn't mind some company. But,"
"Hold on Andrew. May I help you?" the old man said facing Aaron.
"Uh. Am I interrupting something? Because if I am, I could just head on towards Azalea now and train my Quilava, Pidgey, and Pikachu
"No. You're not interrupting. Sage Li always helps me train. I'm Andy."
"My name is Aaron Ketchem."
"Pi Pika." (I'm Static).
"Do you want to battle?"
"Does a Goldeen like water?"
"I'll take that as a yes."
"Pidgey! You're up!"
"C'mon Eevee! Let's do this!"
"Use Tackle!" Both boys yelled
The tackles turned out as headbutts on each other's heads. Both pokemon became dizzy and went down.
"Ouch." Both boys winced.
"And everyone says I'M hardheaded." Aaron said as he ran over to Pidgey.
"Are you ok Eevee?" Andy asked.
"Vee?" (Which one of you asked?)
"We should take our pokemon to the Pokemon Center." Aaron suggested.
"Right."
0000
"So you want to be a Pokemon Master?" Andy asked as the two trainers showed off their other Pokemon.
"Yeah."
"Was your Quilava your first?"
"Actually no. Static was. I found Quilava as a Cyndaquil my first day."
"Wow. My Typlosion was my first. I specialize in Fire Types."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"So what's with the Eevee?"
"I'm hoping to get my hands on a Fire Stone one day. Then, it will evolve into a Flareon. Until then, I'm going to train it as an Eevee."
"Sounds like you know where you're headed."
"My real dream is to become a gym leader."
"Have you compared the other gym leaders?"
"Not really. I was never interested in getting the badges. I just wanted to train Fire Pokemon."
"Oh. So much for THAT theory."
"What theory?"
"I was hoping you could tell me about the gym leaders so I can prepare for them."
"I can tell you about Falkner and Blaine."
"I've already defeated Falkner. Who's Blaine?"
"Blaine is the Gym Leader of Cinnabar Island."
"Is that in Johto?"
"No. Kanto."
"Oh. Then I don't need to worry about him for a long while."
"Where are you headed?"
"Azalea. Do you want to come along?"
"You bet. Everyone is telling me to go out again and really train, but I never really had a good enough reason."
"Now you do."
"Alright. Just let me go tell my parents."
