"The Legend of the Three Regis"
Chapter 7: "The Two Greatest Pokemon Trainers"

"Manectric, use Spark!"

"Dodge, Pelipper, and use a Wing Attack!"

The bird flew over the Spark and hit Manectric. Manectric hit the ground, but so did Pelipper.

"Pelipper! Get up!" Oh, no! Manectric's Static ability paralyzes an opponet!

"Manectric, finish it off with a Thunder!"

"Pel!" Pelipper was lifted a little bit by its wings, but it wasn't enough for Thunder to miss its target.

"Return, Pelipper! Good job. I didn't expect your Manectric to be so fast and powerful. Let's try a new friend. Go, Roselia. Magical Leaf!"

Roselia jumped from Manectric's Spark and attacked from above. The leaves cut through the electricity flying from Manectric's body swiftly.

"Now, use Petal Dance!"

Roselia's gracefulness was too much for Manectric and fainted.

"Roselia's good." Zac returned his Pokemon. "You're up next, Linoone!"

"Roselia, hurry and use Grasswhistle!"

"Linoone! Dogde and use Headbutt!"

Linoone rolled from Roselia and stuck the Grass Pokemon.

"Roselia, you can take it!"

"Tackle!"

"Magical Leaf!"

Roselia shot a rush of leaves at Linoone and it tumbles on the grass.

"Roselia, Grasswhistle!"

"Linoone, dogde and use Belly Drum!"

"Watch out, Roselia! Linoone's attacks will do more damage!" Twice as powerful. Good thing Roselia is tough.

Roselia jumped over Linoone's Headbutt and attacked with a Magical Leaf.

Linoone bounded from the grass attack with no damage.

"Sand Attack!" Zac yelled.

Roselia cried out with the sand went into her eyes.

Zac smiled. "Finish it, Linoone! Headbutt!"

Linoone made contact with Roselia and it fell, defeated.

"Return, Roselia! You did good."

Linoone suddenly yelped in pain.

"What? Oh, no... Roselia's Poison Point ability." Zac realized.

"That last Headbutt must have did it." Harmony confirmed it. "One more Pokemon left. Blaziken, I know you can do it. Go!"

"I feel honored. Blaziken must be your stongest Pokemon."

"It is. It's survived longer in battles than any other Pokemon."

"You don't say. Linoone, Headbutt!"

Before Linoone could reach its target, Blaziken used a Blaze Kick.

To Zac's dismay, Linoone never got up.

"You got lucky, Harmony." Zac got a Pokeball out, but thought about it and got a second one out. Sorry. I can't use you. Atleast not yet. "I choose you, Altaria!"

"Slash attack, Blaziken!"

"Altaria, dogde and use a Dragonbreath!"

Blaziken regained its posture and got hit by the remaining attack. "Blaze!"

"Blaziken!" Try a Flamethrower!"

Altaria defended itself with Safeguard. The flying blue dragon was hit by the blazing fire attack, but not burned.

"Hurry, Blaziken! Blaze Kick!"

"Blaze." Blaziken used its leg power to leap high above Altaria.

Zac saw what she doing. "Not today, Harmony. Altaria, use a Dragon Dance and dogde. Follow up with a Sky Attack!"

"A Sky Attack? Be careful, Blaziken." Blaziken looked above, but didn't move.

"Scared stiff?" Zac joked.

Harmony smirked. "Just watch."

When Altaria was inches from Blaziken, the fire Pokemon kicked its leg up and hit Altaria in the side with a Blaze Kick.

"Quick Attack and then Slash!"

"Altaria, you can survive that!" Zac cried.

Altaria got up just in time to dogde Blaziken's onslaught.

"Another Dragon Dance and Dragonbreath, Altaria!"

"Blaziken, defend!"

Blaziken used a Flamethrower before Altaria got a chance to attack, but the Dragonbreath came sooner than expected. The two attacks collided in a wave of blistering heat.

"Come on, Altaria!"

"You can do it, Blaziken!"

But, unfortunately, it didn't last long. The two Pokemon ran out of energy at the same time and fell to the ground.

Harmony smiled. "You did great, Blaziken."

"You, too, Altaria. Return." Zac nodded.

Harmony returned her Pokemon and walked up to Zac. "That was a good friendly battle. Thanks."

"No problem. We can all use a break from the important battles from time to time."

"No kidding." Harmony said as she walked beside Zac toward Professor Elm's lab.

There, everybody was waiting for them. Caroline smiled and layed her hands on her daughter's shoulders. "Harmony, dear, I know you like it here, but we have to go soon."

Harmony sighed. "Yeah, it's been nice." She turned to Professor Elm. "Professor Elm, it's been good to see you again, even though my... hello wasn't all that pleasant."

"I'd say." He laughed lightly. "We'll keep in touch through the phone. Meanwhile, Catherine here is going to help out at the lab."

"Yeah, just like you used to, Harmony!" the girl yelled in joy. "Maybe I'll become a Pokemon master like you are!"

Harmony knelt down to her eye level. "Let's hope you will. I wish you the best of luck."

Catherine pulled a bundle out of her pocket. "Here. A going away present."

Harmony took it gingerly and unwrapped the thick brown cloth. She gasped. "Is this... How'd you find it? I thought I lost it forever when I couldn't find it before we moved!"

Sarah spoke up next. "When we first moved here and started moving things around, I found it in a dusty corner. I gave it to Cat because she liked it. We never could identify who it belonged to."

"When I found out that you used to live in that house, I thought it might be yours. Your parents confirmed it."

Harmony held the journal smiling. "Thank you, Catherine. Thank you so much."

"I didn't read it."

"I wouldn't have cared if you did. All it had was my thoughts on wanting to be a Pokemon Master. As a matter of fact, here." She laid the journal in Catherine's hands. "I want you have it. It might help you on your Pokemon journey."

Catherine was apalled. "Really? You are giving me your journal!"

Harmony nodded. "Really."

"Hey, Catherine." Zac said. "I want to give you this, too." He took his green and brown watch off and hooked it on the little girl's left wrist. "It's one of a kind. It's the only one in the world that has a Pokeball embedded into the clasp."

"But, Zac.." Stephen said.

"I know, Dad. My mother gave it to me, but Catherine... Catherine reminds me so much of her. It just feels right giving it to her."

"I'll take care of it, Zac." Catherine assured him.

Stephen nodded. "You may even meet up and fall for a future Pokemon League Champion like Zac did."

"Zac could be a Champion if he wanted." Harmony spoke up. "We battled a few minutes ago and tied."

Glacia shook her head. "I don't think he's interested. He has beaten the four of us, but never got around to challenging his father."

Professor Elm whispered something into Caroline's ear and she nodded. "Harmony, we really must go. We need to get home before nightfall so you and Zac can get a fresh start in the morning before you go off to find the three Regis."

Harmony nodded and waved at Catherine, Sarah and Professor Elm. "Bye, guys. We'll keep in touch. Catherine, make sure to call a Pokemon Center or my parents if you want to talk."

"I definitely will."

The group settled in the car and waved as Norman started the car up and went in the opposite direction.

They will leave to find the three Regis next chapter. No more non-plot chapters! Atleast before the journey.
