Calvin: Hey Readers, It's me Calvin. First off I would like to thank you for the all the reviews and not flooding me with hate mail for not updating in ...how ever long it was that I was away. I was dealing with some issues that are better not discussed here. Well anyway, I'm of to catch my boat to Hoenn, and I already have a traveling companion, who specializes in Ghost and Dark type Pokemon.

Saige: Calvin, Who are you talking to?

Calvin: Our readers.

Saige: Reader? You really are crazy.

Calvin: So, that what I have to deal with now. This is going to be so much fun. Read and review.

The day was a nice one. It warm with refreshing breezes passing every now and then. The sun shining above reflected of the surface of the water under the docks. These docks were built from Lavender town to Vermillion City, to provide fisherman in those to towns a place to dock there ships. Young fisherman, were always sitting along these docks with there lines cast waiting and hopping for the big bite, talking to each other about bait and techniques of casting off.

Saige and Calvin walked silently along the stretch of wooden planks, watching the fishers, on the docks. Several of the fisherman cast glances back at them. They must have looked strange in that area. Calvin dressed in all black with a black and sapphire cape that seemed to resist the wind when ever it did pass and Saige also in all black and a dark look on her face.

Saige turn to Calvin, and said. "You're scaring the fishers."

"Me? I thought they were looking at you. I'm not the one dressed as a witch."

She narrowed her gaze on him and scowled. "What normal person walks around with a wind resistant cape?"

"A trainer you don't want to mess with. Example, Lance of the elite four." Saige thought about this for a minute. She had seen Lance on Television. He was supposed to be one of the strongest trainers in the world. "You are kind of scary naturally. I'm surprised that you don't get looks like that all the time." Saige whipped out the fan and smacked Calvin across the back of his head. He started laughing in response. "You got a really short temper. Just a warning I'm going to be bugging you this whole trip, or until you get used to my mockery and learn to snap back."

"I'm beginning to regret traveling with you." Saige said.

"You get used to me, don't worry about that."

"People get used to you? I though that was impossible. I mean, come on, who speaks Pokemon?"

"Calvin- Cal. Vin-Calvin" He replied mockingly and they both broke in to laughter.

"I asked for that one, didn't I?"

"Yep." They continued laughing at his joke. Not looking where he was going Calvin bumped into someone.

"Oh Sorry" he said to the fisherman, who now was staring at the water.

"You- YOU INSOLENT FOOL." The fisherman screamed at him. "THAT WAS THE BIGGEST CATCH OF HISTORY AND YOU HAD TO BUMP ME AND LET IT GET AWAY."

Calvin closed his eyes for a minute and then calmly said. "It was a Magikarp. It really is no big deal."

The fisherman still angered about his fish, screamed. "INSOLENT YOUTH, I'LL TEACH YOU TO DISRESPECT ME." He grabbed a pokeball from his waist. "Go Seel."

"Not to disrespect me." Calvin corrected him. "Otherwise you're suggesting by your actions your going to make me respect you even less."

"Calvin, are you just trying to get him to attack you?" Saige asked concerned. "He is pretty upset."

"Relax. He can't hurt me." Calvin replied. "Stand back."

"SEEL, HIT HIM WITH YOU AURORA BEAM." Seel opened its mouth and shot a colorful beam at Calvin. Calvin easily side stepped the attack.

He pointed at Seel said, "Nightshade." A black beam erupted from his finger tip. The beam caught Seel in the face and sent it rolling along the dock. He turned back to the fisherman and said darkly. "Now recall your Seel and go back to your fishing."

"Wh- what are you?" the fisherman asked shaking.

"Someone you don't want to battle."

"Seel return." the fisherman commanded calling his Pokemon back to his pokeball. "Sorry to have attacked you." The man said.

Calvin turned and continued to walk on; Saige trailed a step behind him.

"And you want to call me scary? You had that poor man shaking in his boots."

"You look scary, if you bumped him, he would have started shaking as soon as he saw you. I am scary, there is a difference."

Saige hit him the folding fan again. "Will you stop insulting me and act serious?"

Calvin sighed and replied. "Fine. I'll be more serious if you lighten up a little. If you're so serious the entire journey, you won't enjoy all the luxuries of the trip."

"Luxuries?"

"Good company, good conversation."

"If you're a luxury, I could do with out it."

"I saved you last night, you could at least be grateful."

"If enduring you insulting me every few minutes is how I have to repay you, I would rather still be in the tower."

"If, I'm bothering you that much, I stop." He said seriously looking her in the face. Paused for a moment then broke into laugher again. "Sorry but it's so hard to look at you and keep a strait face."

Saige gave him a few more blows from the fan and pressed forward walking ahead of him. He didn't try to catch up but stay a few steps behind her. Something shifted around him as Haunter left its cloak form and wrapped it self around Saige.

"What, You too?" Calvin said. "Fine, be like that."

Sound of commotion coming from up ahead of them stopped his rant. They both stop and looked to see what was happening. A young boy sitting by a fishing pole had been surrounded by a group of larger boys. The group seemed to be picking on him.

They rushed to the little boy's aide. "What's going on here?" Saige demand.

"None of your business." One of the gang said.

"Yeah" another chimed. "Stay out of what doesn't concern you."

They were pretty bold because Saige was twice there size and age. She glared at them, and they retreated a step. Calvin joined Saige in he position between the gang and there prey. "I wouldn't try to get her angry." He warned them.

They must of realize that they couldn't take Saige and Calvin on together because there leader turned and said. "We'll be back later." The group took off in down the dock.

Saige turned to the little boy. "Are you alright?" She asked softly.

"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you."

"Those boys bother you often?" Calvin asked.

"Yes, every day." The boy replied. "That's why I come here to fish every day. If I could just catch a large scary Pokemon to scare them away, they would leave me alone."

"Why don't you change your fishing location so they can't find you?" Saige suggested.

"I tried, but they find me anyway."

"What's your name, kid?" Calvin asked.

"Izzy."

"Well Izzy, Do you have a Pokemon?" Saige asked.

"Yes," He replied. He turned to the water and called. "Magic?" There was a splash as a Magikarp arose from beneath the surface. "This is Magic. The first Pokemon I ever caught. I tried to us him to scare them away, but they are so much stronger than I am."

Calvin smiled as he got an idea.

"Izzy do you mind if we help you out?"

"No, that would be really appreciated."

"Um, Calvin we don't have time, we have a boat to catch."

"The boat leaves in two days. We still have some time."

"But to fish for a large Pokemon in these waters could take forever."

Calvin smiled and said "I have a plan."

"Here it comes." Izzy said pulling on his fishing line. The line was stretched tightly as his struggle to pull the unknown foe above the surface. Calvin, Saige, Espeon and Umbreon waited for the Pokemon to appear.

"Goldeen." It said as Izzy pulled it above the surface.

"It's small, but try to catch it anyway, Izzy." Calvin called.

"Ok." Izzy replied. "Magic, Tackle"

Magic swam at full speed and crashed in to the Goldeen. Goldeen turn to face it and shot a jet stream of water at Magic. Magic dodged the attack and delivered another tackle. "Ok. Pokeball Go." Izzy said pulling an empty pokeball from his bag. At that moment the line holding Goldeen snapped and Goldeen disappeared back under the surface.

Izzy let out a sigh of anguish. "Again. That line the seventh time. My line broke when I was about to capture it."

"Don't worry." It wasn't larger enough any way, Try again." Calvin said.

Saige looked at Calvin who was sly smile on his face. He was up to some thing. Theyhad beenhelping Izzy for three hours byjust sitting there and only jumping in when Izzy pulled up a large Pokemon, but all of them had gotten away so far. She watched him closely as Izzy sent Magic under water to find another catch.

"You still don't understand what I'm up to, do you?" He said still watching Izzy fish.

"Not really."

"Here a hint, the scariest Pokemon he can catch he already has."

"Magikarp isn't scary at all; actually it's kind of pathetic."

"That may be so but Magikarp evolve."

"So you're training it. Each Pokemon he pulls up you have Magic battles, unless it's to strong for it that's we take it." Saige said showing understanding of what Calvin was doing."

"But why is his line always breaking?"

"Because I am breaking it. That way he doesn't stop."

"It a wonderful plan but are you sure it's going to evolve."

"With at the training, it should."

"So he doesn't need us here."

"He does a little. I mean with out Espeon's help, he would have caughtThirty SevenPokemon in three hours." Calvin said checking his watch. "Were helping him along."

There was a shout from some where down the docks. The gang had returned. They we causing a commotion as they move toward Izzy, pushing the bait and fishing rods,of fishermenoff the dock as they walked.

Calvin turned to Izzy and said. "The power to fight them off lies with in you Pokemon despite its size."

Calvin called back his Espeon, and signaled Saige to do the same. She called back her Umbreon and Calvin took her hand. They flickered and vanished leaving Izzy along on the dock. Izzy looking around, and finding his new friend had vanished turn to face his tormentors.

Calvin and Saige appeared in one of the small fishing boats tied to the dock not far off from where Izzy was standing.

Smack. Saige hit Calvin with the folding fan again. "Why you have to go and leave him on his own for?"

"We won't be here to protect him forever, he need to learn to fight for him self."

"Well, Looks like your protection left." One of the gang said as the approached Izzy. "And they messed up our morning run, so looks like we are going to have to double up."

"You can't mess with me any more." Izzy said rather bravely.

"Or else what?" The leader said." What you going to do about it."

"Magic, Tackle them." Izzy Ordered. Magic jumped out of the water directed toward the gang. It ran out of momentum halfway there and fell to the dock, flopping around trying to get back to the water.

The gang broke into laughter at his failed attempt to attack. "Magikarp is a worthless Pokemon." One of them said, kicking Magic back into the water."

There was a flash of light that illuminated the water where Magic had landed. There was a fierce roar as a large Gyarados arose from beneath the surface. It glared at the Gang who seem paralyzed in fear. Gyarados let out another threaten roar.

"Magic?" Izzy said. Gazing in awe at his friend.

Magic lower its head and allowed Izzy to climb on to of it. Then turned to face the gang again.

"Shall we try our attack again, Magic?" Izzy asked his Pokemon. The gang turn fled screaming and flailing there arms.

"They you go Izzy" Calvin said, waving from the boat. Izzy returned the wave from high atop his Gyarados.

The sun was setting as Saige and Calvin said there final goodbye to Izzy and Magic.

"You fool." Saige said smacking Calvin with the fan. "The sun is setting and we are no where near where we are supposed to be."

"At least we helped some on in need, isn't that important?"

"Not if we miss our boat."

"Well you're welcome to run all the way to Vermillion."

"Can't you just teleport us there?"

"No, too far." He replied.

"And I though you were going to cook? I'm hungry. And we've been on our feet all day, when can we rest?"

Calvin sighed and said to Haunter who had returned to being his cloak. "This is my punishment for insulting her this morning isn't it?"

Haunter laughed, as Saige continued to rant and the walked toward Vermillion City and the Hoenn region.
