Alicia the most powerful trainer in sylon sat quietly in the forest underneath the tree. This forest has a mystical quality to it, and I feel like its home to me. Alicia sat underneath the tree taking in the natural sounds of the forest and listening to the tailow up above in the trees. Suddenly footsteps could be heard stepping on the leaves and Alicia knew someone was coming closer.
Alicia looked to her right to see an unknown face approaching her. The person she was looking at had on red hat, red clothing, and white clothes in the middle of were his red shirt. On his feet were red running shoes with white socks. The unknown figure stopped and looked down at Alicia. Are you Alicia by any chance?
Yes, I am Alicia what do you need? I am the legendary Pokémon trainer Red and I have come to challenge you. Oh, so you want a fight then huh. Well, I cannot refuse a challenge from the legendary Pokémon trainer Red. But not here though let us go somewhere else and fight. Meet me at sylon academy in the sylon region.
We will see if you are as good as they say. Flygon come on out Alicia said as she unclipped a poke ball from her belt and threw it up in the air. Flygon came out of the poke ball and looked at Alicia. Flygon please fly me too Sylon Academy. Alicia got onto Flygon as Flygon took off into the sky heading toward another fight.
I guess I better meet her there then. Charizard come on out of the ball red said as he threw the poke ball into the air. Charizard came out of the poke ball and looked at Red. Charizard can you please fly me too Sylon academy? Charizard let out a cry in acknowledgment. Red Got onto Charizard and Charizard took off into the sky toward Sylon Academy.
When Alicia got there flygon set itself down on the ground slowly and Alicia dismounted from flygon. Not long after, Red arrived on scene. Charizard set itself down on the ground and Red got off from him. Well, Alicia should we fight? Yes, lets fight this out.
Alicia and Red walked over to an open area right in front of the academy and each took up opposite sides on the field. Alicia who was wearing a hood over her head took it off and revealed herself to Red. I am Alicia the most powerful trainer in the world. I have never lost a battle before and I do not plan to ever be defeated.
I have heard about you Red and your legendary exploits. We shall see if you are as good as they say you are. By now a large group of people had gathered around to watch the fight unfold. I have heard about you too Alicia, but I have always wondered. Are the stories about you true or are they not all they are cracked up to be asked Red? I guess we will find out.
Alicia took a poke ball from her waist and tapped the button on the front. The poke ball got bigger and out came a Luxray. Flygon I am going to have you sit this one out for now until I need you. Flygon nodded in agreement as he took toward the sidelines.
Well, why don't we have a battle between two electric Pokémon and see who comes out on top asked red? Red took out a poke ball and out came Pikachu. Pikachu's cheeks sparked with electricity and was ready to fight. Luxray let out a battle cry.
Alright Luxray use spark said Alicia! Luxray used spark and began charging toward Pikachu. Pikachu use surf said Red. A wave of water came from out of nowhere, but it seemed to have little effect on Luxray.
Luxray continued to charge and hit Pikachu head on with a powerful spark. Pikachu went flying back and tumbled around a few times before getting up again. Pikachu has obviously taken a lot of damage Red thought. Just that one attack did that much to it.
Alright Pikachu use thunderbolt let us go! Pikachu let out a thunderbolt toward Luxray. Luxray use your thunderbolt too Alicia said. Luxray let out a huge thunderbolt and the two thunderbolts' hit each other mid-air. There was a terrific explosion when the two thunderbolts collided. Alicia and Red both wondered who pulled out of there alive.
As the dust from the explosion cleared Pikachu was lying down on the ground knocked out of the battle. While Luxray however stood strong seemingly unhurt from the attack. Pikachu! Said Red. Red ran over to Pikachu and picked him up. You fought well buddy time for a rest as Pikachu went back inside his poke ball.
Alright, let us see how you battle this. Go venasaur! Venasaur came out of its poke ball and emerged onto the field. Alright Luxray come back said Alicia as Luxray went back into its poke ball. Flygon it is your turn now. Flygon smiled and headed over onto the field.
Alright Venasaur use sleep powder! Flygon use your wing attack and dodge it. Flygon began to flap its wings and a strong gust of wind blew the sleep powder back onto venasaur causing it to fall asleep. Venasaur wake up buddy said Red. Venasaur sat on the field asleep.
Alright Flygon use flamethrower on Venasaur. Flygon let out a flamethrower and set Venasaur on fire. Venasaur woke up and began running around in circles trying to put out the fire. Venasaur rolled in the dirt and try to put the fire out.
Flygon use wing attack against Venasaur said Alicia. Flygon charged in and slammed its wings into Venasaur. Venasaur fell on the ground and was knocked out. Venasaur return to me said Red as he put the Pokémon back in its poke ball. You did the best you could Venasaur.
Well Red are you convinced you cannot win asked Alicia? So far things are not going your way and honestly, I expected a harder fight from someone of your legendary status. This is not over yet Alicia do not get cocky replied Red. Blastoise I need your assistance said Red as Blastoise came out of its poke ball onto the field.
Alright Flygon head to the sidelines again. Flygon nodded and headed over to the sidelines. Luxray I require your assistance once more! Luxray came out of its poke ball and onto the field. Alright Luxray thunderbolt them. Luxray unleashed a powerful thunderbolt toward Blastoise. Blastoise use protect! Blastoise protected itself from the thunderbolt.
You cannot rely on that forever red its chance of failure rises with each succession said Alicia. Red looked concerned about this fight. Alright Blastoise use hydro pump! Blastoise unleashed hydro pump from its cannons. Luxray take the attack head on while using spark.
Luxray charged head long into the incredibly powerful hydro pump all the while using spark. Luxray plowed through the hydro pump and tackled Blastoise with spark. Blastoise really feels it as the electricity courses through him. Blastoise got fried by the electricity and collapsed on the ground smoking.
Blastoise return to the poke ball! Red recalled his Blastoise back to him. You did your best buddy. My god that Luxray of yours is so powerful. Nothing seems to faze it at all. Alright next up is snorlax said Red as he took out his poke ball and released snorlax from it.
Alright so a snorlax huh said Alicia. Alright Luxray return to the poke ball. Now go machamp said Alicia as she took out a poke ball that contained machamp. Okay, Snorlax use giga impact! Machamp use your brute force and stop it completely. Snorlax ran quickly into Machamp but to no avail.
Machamp stopped snorlax in its tracks completely using its four arms. Now cross chop! Machamp took 2 of its arms and hit snorlax hard. Snorlax rolled backwards but struggled to get up. Snorlax collapsed onto the field.
Snorlax return to the poke ball said Red. Well Alicia you have completely devastated my team and left only one surviving. Your Pokémon are trained to beyond terrifying extremes. This is my last stand, however. Go Espeon said Red as he threw out a poke ball.
Espeon came out onto the field. Alright machamp return said Alicia as she recalled machamp back into the poke ball. Alright get in there tyranitar! Tyranitar came out ready to fight. Tyranitar caused a sandstorm to take form thanks to its ability. Now Tyranitar use crunch!
Espeon dodge it and then use shadow ball. Espeon dodge the attack and hit tyranitar with a shadow ball. The attack did not seem to do anything to it or if it did it did extraordinarily little. Now Tyranitar use rockslide! Tyranitar used rockslide and rocks came tumbling down onto Espeon. Espeon no! Espeon got up after the attack but was dazed by the damage.
Now tyranitar use crunch! Tyranitar used crunch and bit Espeon hard with a super effective move. Espeon fell onto the field and was knocked out. Espeon return to the poke ball said Red. Well, that was a completely one-sided affair. Your Pokémon are so strong and powerful and its terrifying to go up against them.
Well red you tried at least. You did put up a good fight, but it just was not enough. Alicia walked over to red. Alicia held out her hand to red. Red took his hand out and gave a firm handshake to Alicia. How about we turn this into a little friendly rivalry between us? Sure, Alicia I would like to be your rival if that is okay with you asked red?
That is fine with me Said Alicia. Here register me in your poke nav. Alicia and Red registered each other in the poke nav. Great maybe we can have a rematch sometime said Alicia. I would Like that said Red. Alright well I am going to go heal up at the Pokémon center said Alicia. You can come with me if you want.
That is okay I think I am going to go check out the town. Okay suit yourself. Alicia began walking off the field when she was stopped by a news crew. Excuse me can I ask you for an interview asked the reporter? An interview replied Alicia. Okay go for it.
So, I saw you just had an amazing battle what is one word you can use to describe your victory? The word would have to be incredible said Alicia. I see and what do you plan on doing next? I plan to go to a faraway region here soon possibly unnova or hoenn. I see. Okay thank you for your time we will be publishing this interview, and you can expect to see this on TV soon.
With that the reporter walked away leaving Alicia by herself. Alright I guess I can go ahead and let Fenekin out of its poke ball. Alicia pulled out a poke ball and released Fenekin onto the field. How are you doing Fenekin? Fenekin replied with the word Fenekin.
I guess you are doing okay then. Hey Fenekin, do you want to head to a new region with me? Fenekin got all excited upon being asked this. I was thinking unnova or hoenn this time. Why do not we head to the city with a port in it and see how much the cost of the trip to unnova is. Fenekin nodded in agreement.
First, I want to heal up at the Pokémon center though. I always prefer to be at full strength if possible. Alicia began to walk to the Pokémon center and Fenekin joined Alicia by hopping onto her shoulder. When they got there Alicia went straight up to Nurse Joy and asked if she could have her Pokémon healed up.
Hi, can you heal my Pokémon up for me? Certainly, said Nurse Joy as she took Alicia's poke ball containing her Pokémon. Nurse Joy then healed Alicia's Pokémon using the machine behind her. There you go all done. Your Pokémon have been restored to full health we hope to see you again. Alicia took her poke balls back from Nurse Joy.
Alicia walked out of the Pokémon center and took out her poke ball containing Flygon. Flygon can you fly me to lividity city? Flygon nodded in agreement as Alicia got on flygon to head toward Lividity City. Flygon you can go ahead and descend now this is lividity city right here said Alicia. Flygon slowly descended to the ground and stopped right in front of the ferry entrance.
Thanks, flygon for the lift you can return to your poke ball now. Flygon got back into his poke ball. Now to head toward the ferry and buy a ticket to unnova. Alicia began walking to the ferry entrance but suddenly got a feeling that she was all alone out here. Everything seemed to stop around her and reach a standstill.
Time felt like it came to a stop and the only thing moving right now was her. Alicia turned around and looked at her surroundings. Alicia could feel a presence near her, but it did not seem to feel like any normal trainer presence. The presence she felt radiates an incredibly powerful aura. Who is there Alicia called out?
There was no answer from anyone. Alicia began to head farther into the entrance way to the ferry all the while remaining on alert. Time seemed to return to normal and everything started moving again. It feels like time is back to normal but what was that phenomenon I just felt Alicia asked herself. Also, who was that presence I felt near me? It was powerful and felt like there might be someone near my skill level.
So many unanswered questions and so little answers. Alicia decided to just ignore it for now for she had other matters to attend too. When Alicia reached the harbor there was a luxury liner sitting there taking on more passengers. Here we are said Alicia my ticket to unnova. The ship was the SS Anne a luxury cruise liner that sails across the world.
It sure is a big ship said Alicia. Alicia walked over to a man who was handing out tickets to passengers. Alicia asked him how much for a ticket? It will be 1500 poke dollars. Alicia pulled out her wallet and handed the man 1500 poke dollars. Thank you, this ship is currently heading to unnova and will depart soon.
Alicia took her ticket from the man. Hey, can I ask you something asked Alicia? Of course, what is it said the ticket man. Did you notice anything strange earlier? Strange as in what exactly? Maybe a presence or the fact that time seemed to stop suddenly?
No, nothing like that said the ticket man. Alright well thanks for the assistance said Alicia. Alicia walked up the ramp and into the ship. There was another man standing there in the ship taking tickets. Hi, may I see your ticket please? Here you go said Alicia.
Perfect that is all you need. Your cabin is to the right and down exactly 5 rooms from me. Excellent thank you said Alicia as she started walking down the hallway toward her cabin. When Alicia got there the scanner requested to see Alicia's ticket. Alicia put the ticket close to the scanner.
The scanner lit up with a green light and unlocked the door for Alicia. Alicia stepped into her cabin and immediately headed for the bed. I am so tired I think I will take a nap. Alicia lay down on the bed and quickly began falling asleep.
Three days earlier unbeknownst to Alicia a powerful presence was getting ready to make its move. In a dark room of a secret hideout an apprentice was talking to his master. Now I would like you to find this person named Alicia and put a stop to her before she can start to interfere with our plans. Yes, master I will do that said the apprentice. You have trained for three years for this so do not let me down.
My intelligence reports indicate that this girl named Alicia is possibly on her way here from Sylon. She will reach unnova in approximately three days. I want you to take a ship from Unnova to Sylon and just see if you can locate her. If you locate her do not engage her in battle just yet. Just keep tabs on her but try not to arouse suspicion.
You may be thinking why not just wait until she gets to unnova. Well, I want to keep tabs on her as soon as she gets here. My intelligence people are not always accurate with their information, so I want you to keep track of her every move. Unnova is a big region so we cannot afford to let the trail go cold. If it does, we might be in trouble.
When you locate her take the ship back to Unnova and we will figure out what to do from there. Yes, master I understand. I have given you the money correct. Yes, you have. Alright now be gone you have your orders. I will keep in contact with you through the poke walker.
The apprentice got up and headed out the exit of the hideout putting his red hood on his robe up over his head to help hide his identity. The apprentice wore a white robe with a red hood and was the same height as Alicia which was 5"11. The apprentice's destination was a ship headed for Sylon where the apprentice will have his first encounter with this girl named Alicia.
Three days later after arriving in the Sylon region the apprentice stepped off the ship and onto solid land again. The apprentice thought to himself for a moment. I need to find this person named Alicia. Our intel says she should be boarding a ship called the SS Anne anytime now. The apprentice pulled out a note with a description written down on it.
It described who the apprentice was looking for. Alicia 5"11 red hair with black coat. Wears fingerless gloves on both hands and has 6 Pokémon in their poke balls around her waist for when she needs them. Alright she is probably heading toward here right now. I am going to check out front first and see if I can spot her. It is still about an hour before the ship leaves.
The apprentice walked out toward the entrance of the harbor. He decided to wait around and see if he can spot this girl named Alicia. Sure, enough the apprentice spotted something in the air. It was a flygon carrying a trainer on its back. The trainer looked like they matched the description on the note.
Flygon sat itself down on the ground and the trainer got off it is back. Thanks, flygon you can come back into the poke ball now. As flygon went into the poke ball the trainer headed toward the entrance of the harbor. Yes, that is indeed Alicia it matches the description perfectly. I better follow them and see which ship they get on.
The apprentice headed toward the ship which Alicia was getting on. The ship was heading to unnova in about an hour. Alicia woke up a few hours later after lying down on the bed. Hmm I guess I was so tired I fell asleep. Alicia got up from the bed and started stretching.
Alright I am ready to head out. I guess I will go see if there is anything going on in the ship. Alicia headed out the door of her cabin and looked around the hallway. Nothing going on out here in the hallway maybe there is something going on elsewhere.
Alicia began heading toward the large room ahead of her. When she got there a big party was going on. There were tables filled with food and drinks and other Pokémon trainers discussing Pokémon related things. Alicia headed inside and began heading toward where the food was.
I guess I will eat something on this table. Alicia picked up a plate and saw a big bacon cheeseburger ready to be eaten. I am absolutely having this for my meal. Alicia sat the burger on the plate and headed to find somewhere to sit. Alicia sat down in a table by herself.
As Alicia began eating her burger, she began wondering what else there was to do on the ship. I am not sure Pokémon battles are allowed she thought to herself. They would not want to cause damage to the ship or compromise its seakeeping abilities. As Alicia finished her burger, she decided to head up to the topside
Alicia got up from her seat and threw her trash away in the trash can nearby. Alicia headed up topside to get some fresh air and see what is going on. Alicia headed toward the elevator that leads topside and took the elevator up to the top. When Alicia reached the top, she got the same phenomenon again. Everything went quiet and it felt like time had stopped.
Alicia just stood there for a second and looked around. There was no one there it seemed until Alicia began to feel the same powerful presence, she felt earlier that day. I can feel that presence again and it is powerful. Hello, is anyone there shouted Alicia? No one replied.
There is something going on here, but I cannot seem to explain it. Alicia took a poke ball off her waist. I know we are not really allowed to use our Pokémon here for safety reasons, but I feel that this situation should be an exception to that rule. Luxray come on out said Alicia as she tossed the ball into the air. Luxray came out of its poke ball and turned to face Alicia.
Luxray can you help me out here? Luxray nodded in agreement. Do you feel a powerful presence right now? Maybe there is someone or something nearby? Luxray closed its eyes for a moment and began to analyze its surroundings.
Luxray opened its eyes again and looked at Alicia. Did you detect anything strange, asked Alicia? Luxray shook its head and said no. Luxray can you follow me I want to have a look around? Luxray nodded in agreement. Alicia and Luxray began walking together and began looking around the ship.
Currently unknown to Alicia she was being watched. The apprentice was watching Alicia carefully through a spot on the ship that was higher up. Alicia continued to walk around with Luxray but not really coming up with any clues as to what is going on. Alicia suddenly got the feeling that someone was watching her from behind. Alicia turned around quickly but there was no one around.
No one is there said Alicia. Something is going on here, but I just do not know what it is. Well, we looked around this area and did not come up with any clues as to what is going on here. The apprentice headed off into another area of the ship and time began to return to normal. Alicia began hearing voices again around her and everything seemed to come back to normal.
Everything seems to be back to normal again said Alicia as she looked around. Luxray I need you to go back into your poke ball again. Luxray agreed and then went back into the poke ball. Alicia decided to look around some more. I am just going to try and ignore what is going on recently and try and have a nice time on this trip.
I will be here for three days so maybe I will find some clues as to what is going on. As Alicia walked farther down the deck she stopped and peered over the side of the ship. The ship was moving quite fast through the water going at least twenty-eight knots. The ships bow plowed through the waves like they were nothing. It was a testament to a well-designed ship.
Unknown to Alicia and the people on the ship there was currently an enemy team of bad guys on the ship. In the engine room a team of bad guys had sneaked aboard the ship and made it to where they need to be. Alright the charges are set and ready to go said the grunt. Good now let us get out of here so we can blow the charges said the boss.
Alright charges are ready to blow said the grunt. Then blow them up and get ready to continue the plan. The charges detonated and exploded in the engine room damaging the engine as the ship shook from stem to stern. Black smoke began coming from the engine room and a small fire had erupted.
As for the other passengers they felt the explosion and started panicking. Do not panic everyone it will be okay said one of the crewmembers. The captain came on the loudspeaker. Everyone this is your captain speaking. Please remain calm and do not panic. We are assessing the situation right now and will get back to you with an update shortly.
We are closing the watertight doors for your safety. Please remain calm and do not do anything stupid. Alicia was leaning against the rail but thankfully had moved away from it several seconds before the explosion took place. Wow what was that explosion asked Alicia? It felt like it came from the engine room or somewhere below decks.
A crewmember passed Alicia by as he began to run toward the scene of the explosion. What is going on right now Alicia asked herself. The SS Anne began listing to port slightly. Thankfully, the ship was put back on an even keel by shifting the fuel oil to the other side. The fuel oil became equal on both sides and the ship began to float on an even keel again.
Although the ship was riding lower in the water the smoke had begun to dissipate. This is your captain speaking the fire in the engine room is under control and has been put out. The flooding has not spread far and is contained due to the watertight doors. Unfortunately, our speed has been reduced and we can only go a maximum sixteen knots now.
We are checking to see if we can make repairs to the engine. We will continue working on the engine repairs to the best of our ability. Thank you and please return to your cabins for your safety. Alicia was standing right where she was before and had not moved at all.
Well, I guess everything is under control now. I guess I will do what they say and head back to my cabin said Alicia. Alicia began walking back to her cabin but spotted someone who looked suspicious. Alicia quickly realized there was not only one of them but five of them. They all looked like they were walking in a group together and seemed like they were trying not to arouse suspicion.
Unfortunately for them the suspicious people did not do a particularly good job of blending in. Alicia noticed one of them had a big red R embedded onto their pants. Alicia thought to herself for a moment. Who do I know that has a big red R as their symbol? Alicia quickly came up with an answer to her question.
Team rocket that is who it is. Those guys are members of team rocket said Alicia. Alicia decided to confront them as there was an exceptionally good chance that they were the ones who sabotaged the engine room. Alicia walked over to them and stopped right in front of them.
The boss rocket spoke up first. Can I help you kid? Yea you can help me alright. I know that you guys are members of team rocket said Alicia. What are we now the boss rocket replied? Team rocket members what are you talking about I do not know who they are.
Do not play games with me I know you know who they are Alicia said. Everyone has heard of team rocket before and besides, you have the big red R on your grunt's pants. That is a dead giveaway and all I need to know. By now a crowd had begun to form to watch the confrontation unfold.
Hmph I thought we had done a better job than that when it came to hiding our identities said the boss rocket. Yes, we are members of team rocket what are you going to do about it. You are the ones who sabotaged the engine room Alicia said. Well and what if we are the ones who did it? Then I think you need to be locked up and put away said Alicia.
Alicia pulled a part of her coat to the side and pulled out a poke ball and put it in her hand and held it up. You want to fight us all of us asked the boss rocket? Yea I will take you all down one by one said Alicia. Alicia tossed the poke ball into the air and out came Luxray. Luxray let out a battle cry and was raring to go.
Alrighty then let us fight said the boss rocket. The boss rocket took out a poke ball and sent out a Persian. Alright let us start this off with discharge said Alicia. Luxray used discharge sending a large amount of electricity down range toward Persian. Persian dodge it then hit back with slash.
Persian dodges the discharge and charged toward Luxray at a fast speed. Luxray use spark said Alicia. Luxray began charging toward Persian and slammed itself into Persian at full strength knocking Persian back. Persian lay down on the floor knocked out.
Persian was returned to its poke ball by the boss rocket. Alright so you knocked one out said the boss rocket. I still have two more to go. The boss rocket sent out a weezing. Alright Luxray you can come back now said Alicia. Go gardevoir! Gardevoir came out onto the field and opened its eyes. Gardevoir I require your assistance.
Gardevoir use physic! Gardevoir unleashed an incredibly powerful physic down toward weezing. Weezing dodge it and then use smoke screen. Weezing unfortunately was to slow to dodge the extremely fast-moving physic and took the full brunt of a physic attack. Weezing took the hit and took a lot of damage from it. Now Gardevoir use thunderbolt said Alicia.
Gardevoir unleashed a wickedly powerful thunderbolt toward weezing who was just beginning to get up again after being knocked down. Weezing took a huge thunderbolt from gardevoir and collapsed onto the field knocking it out. Ahh no not you too weezing said the boss rocket. Weezing returned to its poke ball.
Huh only one left now said the boss rocket. The boss rocket sent out a ryhorn. A ryhorn then huh well no problem for me said Alicia. Gardevoir use magical leaf! Gardevoir unleashed a powerful magical leaf toward ryhorn which cannot be avoided. Ryhorn attempted to crawl itself into a ball to protect itself but was hit by a super effective move.
Ryhorn took the magical leaf attack hard and was knocked out. Ryhorn not you too said the boss rocket. Ryhorn went back into its poke ball. Well, you beat me the leader, but you still have 4 more of us to go. Do you think you can do it? I know I can do it said Alicia.
Next up it is my turn said the rocket grunt who came next in line to challenge Alicia. Alright rattata lets do this said the grunt as he tossed a poke ball into the air. Gardevoir I need you to come back to me. Gardevoir went back into its poke ball.
Now let us see how you like the cold said Alicia. Go Frosslass! Frosslass came out onto the field and was eager for the forthcoming battle. Alright Frosslass use ice beam! Rattata dodge it then use slash. Rattata managed to dodge the ice beam and leaped to attack Frosslass. Frosslass use ice beam again said Alicia.
Frosslass aimed an ice beam toward rattata as rattata leaped in front of Frosslass. Frosslass ice beam hit rattata freezing it solid and turning it into a ball of ice. Now Frosslass use thunderbolt said Alicia. Frosslass unleashed a thunderbolt toward the frozen solid rattata. Rattata became unfrozen and was hit by thunderbolt and was knocked out.
Rattata went back into its poke ball. Well, that was the only Pokémon I had with me said the grunt. I guess I am out of the fight. Now it is my turn said the next grunt in line. The next Pokémon to come out to challenge Alicia was a Metang. Metang came out of the poke ball and was ready for battle.
Alright Frosslass come back into your poke ball. Now go Scyther said Alicia. Alicia sent out Scyther onto the field. Scyther use x-scissor! Scyther used x-scissor and headed toward metang. Metang use rockslide said the grunt. Scyther dodge it then attack with x-scissor said Alicia.
Scyther was just too fast for metang's rockslide and easily dodged it. Scyther took its razor-sharp claws together and hit metang with x-scissor. Metang fell back onto the floor seriously wounded. Now Scyther use x-scissor one more time said Alicia. Metang dodge it and use shadow ball.
Scyther was just way too fast for metang and Scyther struck first hitting metang with x-scissor once more. Metang fell back onto the field again and was knocked out. Well, you did the best you could metang said the rocket grunt. Now there are only two of us left said the next grunt in line.
Alright I am next. Go Butterfree said the grunt as he let a poke ball into the air. Butterfree came out onto the field. Scyther start this up with air slash on butterfree said Alicia. Scyther moved wickedly fast preparing to strike with air slash.
Butterfree use gust said the grunt. Butterfree used gust but was easily overpowered by scyther's air slash. Butterfree was blown back and hit by air slash from scyther's razor-sharp claws. Butterfree fell onto the field and was knocked out.
Not me to say the grunt as he returned his butterfree to the poke ball. Well looks like this is the last stand for this group. I am the only one left now. Go Gigalith said the grunt. Gigalith came out onto the field from its poke ball.
Alright Scyther you can come back now said Alicia. I have to say I really do not like people like you guys. You guys are a bunch of crooks, and thieves. You use Pokémon for your dirty work and order them to commit crimes. You also abuse poor defenseless Pokémon.
If I am around, you all will not get away with this. Alicia pulled a poke ball out of her bag. Judgement day has come for you team rocket. Go Arceus! Arceus came out of its poke ball and was ready for battle.
Holy crap it is a legendary Pokémon said someone in the crowd. It is a legendary Pokémon and not just any legendary Pokémon. It is the god Pokémon supposedly the creator of all Pokémon. I cannot believe it is right here in front of me said someone else in the crowd.
Now Arceus use judgement on gigalith. Arceus unleashed an incredibly powerful and lightning-fast judgement. Everything lit up in white colors. The light was bright, and it slammed into gigalith at such amazing speed that gigalith had no time to dodge it at all. Gigalith was launched backwards and flipped over twice knocking it out.
Gigalith was returned to its poke ball by the grunt. Well, umm boss she seemed to have beat all of us like it was nothing. What do we do now the grunt asked? Well, we run I suppose said the boss rocket. Where are we running to there is nowhere to run asked the grunt?
We are staring down that legendary god Pokémon and have nowhere to run. Running is futile and there is no way of escaping this situation said the boss rocket. We surrender peacefully to you said the boss as he held up his hands in surrender. The Grunts then did the same as the boss.
Come toward me said Alicia. Try anything funny and I will have Arceus here blast you back into the stone age. All the team rocket members came toward Alicia and stopped right in front of her. Alicia looked over and saw the ships security guards and nudged them over. The security guards put handcuffs on the rocket grunts and took them away.
The crowd cheered as the grunts who were responsible were apprehended. The crowd began cheering Alicia's name over and over. Alicia felt good that she stopped criminals from getting away with what they had done. Not to long after the crowd started cheering Alicia's name they stopped. Alicia looked toward a door that opened revealing the ship's captain coming outside.
The captain walked toward Alicia and stopped in front of her. You know I have seen many trainers in my lifetime. A lot of them battled well but I cannot recall all of them being as good as you are. You battled like you are a natural at it. You also showed great courage and so did your Pokémon.
I do not even know who you are other than your name is Alicia but from the bottom of my heart please accept my deepest gratitude. To take on a bunch of criminals and easily wipe them out like they were nothing. Your power level is through the roof. Not just you but your Pokémon too. I am curious how many badges do you have currently?
Alicia took out her badge case. Wow thirty-two gym badges and the Pokémon league champion in four different regions. You also have never lost a battle before judging by one of your ribbons. Not only that but other awards too. Wow you are something special kid said the captain.
I have been called the most powerful trainer in the world said Alicia. Nobody has ever come close to beating me before. But I cannot take all the credit for this. My Pokémon are the ones who should get much of the credit for my victories. I owe them a lot and I doubt I will be able to ever repay them.
Well said Alicia. Now if you may excuse me, I must get back to commanding the ship said the captain. My executive officer is currently in charge of the ship temporarily so I must head back and assume command again. We will see each other again I am certain of it.
With that the captain walked back through the door and back to the bridge of the ship. Alicia turned to Arceus and Arceus looked at Alicia right in the eyes. Arceus Thank you for your help. As to my other Pokémon who participated in this fight and those who did not, I thank you for your help. Arceus I need you to go back into the poke ball again.
Arceus went back inside it is ball to rest up. The crowd began to disperse and head back to their cabins. All throughout the crowd they could not believe they saw the legendary god Pokémon Arceus. Alicia decided to head back to her cabin. When Alicia got back to her cabin she immediately laid down and rested some more.
Alicia was asleep for so long that by the time she woke up it was already tomorrow. Is it tomorrow already said Alicia as she was just waking up? I guess maybe it is huh I cannot believe I was that tired. Well, what to do now Alicia thought to herself as she woke up and got out of bed. I guess I will go for a walk around the ship.
Alicia headed out of her cabin and toward the dinner hall. I guess they have breakfast up at this time said Alicia. As soon as Alicia got to the dinner hall the same presence felt yesterday was felt again today. Everything went quiet and time seemed to stop again completely.
Alicia looked around the area but did not see anything suspicious just yet. It was only when she looked forward toward the dinner hall, she finally saw someone. The apprentice was now about eight feet away from Alicia and looking right at her. Alicia felt a powerful presence and it was right in front of her now looking at her. Alicia was not sure what to do as they both made eye contact with each other.
Alicia reached for one of her poke balls because Alicia felt she might need it right about now. The apprentice on the other hand reached for a poke ball around his waist. You and me right now said the apprentice to Alicia. Alicia felt she had no choice but to fight this powerful presence.
Alicia sent out her Luxray while the apprentice sent out his Electabuzz. Electabuzz use fire punch said the apprentice. Electabuzz came charging toward Luxray. Luxray use crunch said Alicia. The two Pokémon charged at each other. Electabuzz fire punched Luxray hard but Luxray bit down on Electabuzz's arm.
The enemy Pokémon seemed to shrug off the hits like they were nothing. Luxray use spark said Alicia. Electabuzz use cross chop said the apprentice. The two Pokémon were immensely powerful and proved to be an even match for each other. As Luxray hit electabuzz with spark electabuzz countered with cross chop and a small explosion was created as they collided.
Both Luxray and Electabuzz were tired and breathing heavily after that hit. Luxray are you alright asked Alicia. Luxray nodded in agreement but Alicia could tell Luxray was breathing heavily. Electabuzz how are you holding up asked the apprentice? Electabuzz looked back at the apprentice and nodded its head slightly.
Electabuzz could unfortunately not stand up anymore and collapsed onto the floor. Luxray on the other hand was still standing and managed to defeat the electabuzz. The apprentice returned electabuzz to its poke ball. The apprentice then took off running right past Alicia and off into another part of the ship. As the apprentice disappeared Alicia thought about giving chase.
But Luxray needed some first aid and so did her other Pokémon. Luxray you can return to your poke ball now I am going to get you medical attention said Alicia. Luxray went back into the ball. What was that that just happened? Who was that guy and what was he doing here?
Alicia now had so many questions and so few answers. While Alicia began trying to put the pieces together time went back to normal again. Everything went back to normal and Alicia could hear talking going on around her. Alicia decided Luxray needed first aid and she set off to find a place to heal her wounded Pokémon.
As Alicia headed out of dining hall, she spotted a directory on the wall. The directory said that on the second floor of the ship there was a Pokémon center right above her. Alicia took off running toward the elevator. As Alicia was taking the elevator up to the second floor, she still was puzzled at what had just happened.
Alicia decided to ignore that for now and focus on getting Luxray some medical attention. When the elevator reached the second floor Alicia exited the elevator quickly and ran to the Pokémon center. Nurse joy was sitting down in a chair reading a magazine. Nurse joy can you heal my Pokémon for me asked Alicia? Certainly, said Nurse Joy as she took Alicia's poke balls and put them on a machine beside her.
The machine worked its magic and all of Alicia's Pokémon were healed completely. Thank you, Nurse Joy, said Alicia. No problem come back anytime said Nurse Joy. Alicia decided to try and give chase to the person she just fought. Alicia headed out of the Pokémon center and took off toward where she thought she saw that mysterious person disappear too.
As Alicia walked down the hallway filled with cabin after cabin, she could find no sign of the mysterious figure she fought earlier. I do not sense anyone around me said Alicia. Alicia continued to walk farther into the ship eventually ending up in what appeared to be an employee's only section. Suddenly, the light went off and Alicia was in complete darkness.
Crap the lights went out said Alicia. Where is my poke ball containing Typhloshion? As Alicia felt around her bag for the poke ball, she had a hard time finding out which one contained which Pokémon. It has got to be in slot seven as Typhloshion is a part of battle team 7. Eventually Alicia found the poke ball containing Typhloshion.
There we go said Alicia it has got to be this one. Alicia took the poke ball and released Typhloshion from it. Typhloshion let out a cry and was raring to go. Hey Typhloshion, can you help me out? I need you to be a light source for a while. Can you put up some flames on your back? But not too many though I do not want to catch anything on fire.
Also, we also might need a source of electricity. Alicia took a poke ball out and sent out Luxray. Luxray I am going to need your help too. Luxray nodded in agreement. Alright let us get moving said Alicia. As Alicia walked down the ships hallway, she was thankful that her Pokémon were helping her once more.
Typhloshion and Luxray thank you for your help. Alicia's Pokémon nodded in agreement. Continuing to walk down the hallway Alicia still could not sense anything nearby. I still do not sense anything nearby said Alicia. Can you guys sense anything out there?
Typhloshion and Luxray both nodded no. Alicia decided to continue going a little bit farther ahead before deciding to turn back. Well, I guess the trail has gone cold I see no signs of that mysterious person. Let us just turn back said Alicia. Alicia and her Pokémon began to walk back the way they came.
Well, I thought maybe he went this way, but I was not completely sure. Oh, well we did our best. Alicia and her Pokémon reached her cabin again and headed inside. Alicia decided to sit down on the bed and talk to her Pokémon. I have so many questions and not enough answers.
Who was that mysterious figure or person? Why did he want to fight me asked Alicia? I do not think I have ever met him before. How is he able to stop time from moving? He releases an aura that produces an overwhelming power, and it seems like he might be my equal.
I just do not know what is going on ever since I got on this ship. Alicia was lost in deep thought about the situation. I guess maybe if we just let it play out these next 2 days the truth will reveal itself. Alicia lay down on the bed while her Pokémon cuddled up next to her.
Thanks, you guys you know how to make me feel better she told her Pokémon. Alicia ended up falling asleep in the bed next to her Pokémon. Alicia woke up again from her nap and stood up. Her Pokémon woke up after she got up from the bed. Still 2 more days of this trip left to go.
Alright Luxray and Typhloshion can you go back into your poke balls now asked Alicia? Pokémon nodded in agreement. I am going to go get food and something to drink. Alicia exited her cabin and went over to the directory again to find out where to go next. I guess I will head to the bar and grill on the third deck.
Alicia took the elevator up to the third deck. It should be to the right of here said Alicia. Alicia went to the right of the elevator and found the bar and grill. You must be eighteen years or older to enter the bar. Maybe I can get in at only seventeen said Alicia. When Alicia went inside and headed to the bar people began to look at her like she should not be in here.
Hey, how old are you kid asked the bartender? I am seventeen said Alicia. Well, that is one age below the legal limit said the bartender. I really should not let you in here. Come on said Alicia I will not cause any trouble.
Well alright I guess it is okay since no one ever enforces the legal limit anyway said the bartender. Alicia sat down at the bar stool. Can I get a soda Alicia asked? No diet soda please only regular soda. Alright said the bartender coming right up. The bartender took a glass from below the bar and put soda from the drinking fountain in it.
Thank you said Alicia as she was handed the drink from the bartender. Alicia began drinking the soda and began to take in the atmosphere around her. There were conversations going on that Alicia could not help but listen in on. Some of the conversations were okay and were mainly friendly talk. Other conversations were about how Alicia should not be in here and how not everyone was happy about it.
There was this one group of tough looking customers totaling up to three of them. Two guys were complaining to the leader of the group about how they should do something about Alicia being there since she is underage. The leader eventually gave in to the two guys complaints and headed over to confront Alicia.
Hey kid I want to have a word with you said the leader. Alicia spun around on her bar stool and confronted the leader of the group. By now everyone else in the bar had turned their attention to the situation that was unfolding before them. What do you want asked Alicia?
You know you are not old enough to be in, here right asked the leader? Yes, I am aware of that said Alicia. Well, I would like it if you would leave because having you in here is killing the atmosphere. You are not old enough to be in here kid and you are cramping our style. The bartender said it was okay to stay if I do not cause any trouble said Alicia.
Well, the bartender may have said it was ok for you to stay but I am the leader of this bar and what I say goes. Does it now Alicia asked? Alicia took her soda from behind her and finished drinking it then set the glass down. Alicia showed no signs on backing down from this confrontation. You may be the leader and think you are important in this, but it would be a shame if someone knocked you down a peg or two.
The leader took that insult as a request for a fight. You want to fight kid because I will defeat you said the leader as he pulled a poke ball from his waist. I do not turn down a request for a fight said Alicia. Alicia pulled a poke ball from inside her jacket that was attacked to her waist. Let us do this you and I right now said Alicia.
The leader was real upset now and wanted to show Alicia who she was really messing with. You should not have picked a fight with us said the leader. I think you are mistaken it is you who should not have picked a fight with me. Alicia sent out Flareon from her poke ball she had in her hand. The leader sent out a golduck in response.
You may have a type advantage over me but that does not mean you are absolutely guaranteed to win said Alicia. Oh, ya well the type advantage says otherwise said the leader. Golduck use psychic said the leader of the gang. Flareon dodge it then use bite said Alicia. Flareon dodged the psychic attack and used bite on golduck doing bigger damage because of the type advantage.
Golduck took a huge hit from the bite attack and was seriously wounded. Now Flareon use blaze kick said Alicia. Flareon slammed a powerful blaze kick into golduck knocking it out of the fight. Golduck return to me said the leader.
I still have my two guys left and they want in on this too. You may have defeated me, but you will have more trouble facing my two henchmen. Guys get over here said the leader to his henchmen. The two henchmen both came out onto the field. We will fight you both at the same time you cannot possibly survive a two on one fight said one of the henchmen.
That is fine by me I can take you both on said Alicia. Go Druddigon and Primeape said the henchmen as they took out their poke balls and released them onto the field. Alright Druddigon use dragon rush. Primeape use karate chop. The two Pokémon came charging to Flareon but Flareon stood its ground.
Flareon wait until they are in range and then hit them with flamethrower said Alicia. Both the enemies Pokémon came right in front of Flareon but instead of hitting Flareon they were hit by a massively powerful flamethrower from Flareon. Both Pokémon were hit at the same time and were covered in a ball of fire. Both the Pokémon fell onto the ground and tried to put the fire out.
Primeape and druddigon roll around on the ground and put the fire out said the henchmen. Flareon use shadow ball on both Pokémon and then use flamethrower. Flareon unleashed a powerful shadow ball and it slammed into both Pokémon. The shadow ball was so large it ended up striking the two different Pokémon at the same time.
Now Flareon use flamethrower on both Pokémon. Flareon unleashed a powerful flamethrower attack incinerating both enemies Pokémon. The enemies Pokémon collapsed onto the field and were both knocked out. Primeape and druddigon no said the henchmen. Both henchmen returned there Pokémon to their poke balls.
Now all three of you are defeated said Alicia. Got anything else for me to fry? The three gang members looked at each other. What should we do boss she beat all of us fair and square said one of the henchmen? Well, we do the only thing we can do now and that is to start running said the boss.
The boss and his two henchmen took off running out the door of the bar. Alicia watched as they disappeared and ran out of sight. Alicia turned around and looked at the bartender. Alicia pulled one thousand poke dollars from her pocket and set it down on the bar. Sorry about the mess said Alicia.
The crowd was speechless as they watched Alicia and her Flareon walk out of the bar. Alicia and Flareon took the elevator back down to the first floor and then walked back to the cabin to get some rest. Let us get some rest Flareon you can stay out of your poke ball for now said Alicia. Alicia fell onto the bed and fell asleep. Flareon sat down on the floor next to the bed and quickly fell asleep.
When Alicia woke up from being asleep, she saw Flareon walking around the cabin. Ah Flareon you want to go walk around do you asked Alicia? Flareon let out a cry in agreement. Alright let us go ahead and get going said Alicia as she got up out of bed. Alicia and Flareon walked out of the cabin and into the hallway.
Alicia decided since she had slept through the entire day yesterday for the most part, she decided to head to the dinner hall and get some breakfast. Alicia walked into the dinner hall and saw some food laid out on the tables with drinks right next to it. Alicia walked over and picked herself up a plate and began getting food from the table. Alicia got a hold of some pancakes with syrup and some toast with butter. Alicia then went and picked up a soda to go with it.
Alicia saw a seat at an empty table and went to sit down and began to eat her food. Alicia began thinking about the past two days and all that had occurred since then. So much had happened but there were so few answers to go with it. Alicia was not sure what to make of it all and did not really know where to even start looking.
I am not sure what to make of all this Flareon. I do not know what is going on right now. Maybe we will find some answers when we get to unnova. Alicia continued to eat her food. Hey, Flareon you were excellent last night. Those guys did not stand a chance against us.
I knew we could take them together even when it was two against one said Alicia. Just one more day on this ship and we will reach unnova. I am not sure what that region is like, but we will see when we get there. Flareon nodded in agreement.
Maybe next time though if we want to go to a new region, we will fly there on a plane instead. That might be faster than going by ship. I kind of do not like traveling on a ship too much unless I have no choice. Flareon let out a cry.
The apprentice was quietly talking to his leader over the poke walker in an isolated corner of the ship. Leader I have located this person named Alicia and have been keeping tabs on her for two days now. I probably should not have since you told me not too, but I did fight her once. Why did you fight her after I told you not to do it asked the leader?
Sorry, leader I wanted to see if she was as strong as she seemed said the apprentice. My curiosity got the better of me. Fine, whatever what has done is done said the leader. Now you only have one more day left on the ship before you reach unnova right? When you get there continue to follow Alicia unless I say otherwise.
When Alicia is finally in unnova then we will begin to figure out the next phase of the plan next. But for now, no more confrontations with Alicia got it? Yes, master I understand said the apprentice. Any other news to report asked the leader? No sir nothing else to report said the apprentice. Alright use the poke walker to contact me if something comes up or the situation changes said the leader.
With that the leader hung up leaving the apprentice to his thoughts. Alright Flareon what do you want to do now asked Alicia? Do you want to try gambling? Flareon shook its head no. Hmm you are right those games are rigged so you spend money and not win much back.
Is there anything else to do on this ship asked Alicia? We have mainly just been sleeping for most of the trip. Alicia looked at the wall and saw a poster with an aquarium on it. The poster said there was an aquarium on board, and it was at the lowest level of the ship. Hey, Flareon want to go see an aquarium asked Alicia?
Flareon nodded yes in agreement. Alright let us go do that then. It is at the bottom of the ship so we will take the elevator to the lowest level. Alicia through her trash away and then headed to the elevator with Flareon.
The elevator door closed as the elevator headed down to the lowest level of the ship. When the elevator reached the bottom of the ship a sign posted on the wall said the aquarium was to the left. This way Flareon come on said Alicia. Alicia and Flareon walked to the end of the hallway and spotted the aquarium to the left of them. Here it is let us go inside said Alicia.
When they got into the entrance the whole room was filled with glass. Above them there was glass containing Pokémon swimming around right over their heads. Not to mention alongside the walls there were Pokémon like corphish sitting in an area with sandbars and water in between. Alicia only spotted two crawdaunt though so they must be rare.
A lot of staryu were plopped down completely against the glass resting. A couple of starmie were swimming around in the water. There are just so many different Pokémon in here said Alicia. Flareon was taking in all the sites of Pokémon everywhere. Everywhere Flareon looked there were water type Pokémon.
Flareon looked absolutely mesmerized by all the water type Pokémon around. Well, Flareon should we take the self-guided tour of the place asked Alicia? Flareon smiled and nodded. Alicia and Flareon walked up to the ticket booth. Hi one ticket please said Alicia.
Just you and your Pokémon, right said the ticket lady? Yea just me and Flareon said Alicia. Alright here you go that will be five hundred poke dollars. Alicia took out her wallet and handed over five hundred poke dollars. Here is your ticket said the ticket lady as she handed it to Alicia.
Alicia took the ticket and along with Flareon headed toward where the tour began. Alicia and Flareon began walking down the hallway of the aquarium taking in all the water type Pokémon swimming around. A lot of the water type Pokémon were swimming but some of the others were sleeping or resting instead.
As Alicia and Flareon continued onward with the tour Flareon continued to be amused by all the swimming Pokémon. Look at all these water type Pokémon Flareon said Alicia. Aren't they just incredible? Of course, you are just incredible, too aren't you? Flareon smiled back at Alicia.
Look at the huge Wailord up ahead. Alicia and Flareon ran to see the Wailord up close. The big Wailord let out a huge cry and then water came out of it is top. Wow that Wailord can really make a lot of noise said Alicia. Of course, I do have my own Wailord so maybe I should not be so surprised.
Alicia and Flareon continued through the tour of the aquarium seeing plenty of water type Pokémon. We are appearing to be getting to the end of the tour Flareon. I can see the exit right up ahead said Alicia. Alicia and Flareon walk to the exit and head out the door. Well, that was something was not it.
Did you enjoy the tour asked Alicia? Flareon nodded yes with a smile. Alright you want to just head back to the cabin or do something else? Flareon shook its head no. No, you do not want to go back the cabin asked Alicia. Flareon nodded yes.
Okay we will see what else we can do on board. Why do not I go back to the cabin and change into some swimwear and head up topside to get a little bit of sun. We can just rest there and get a tan or just take a dip in the pool. Unfortunately, I cannot bring you in the pool with me. You are a fire type and fire type Pokémon are weak to water type Pokémon.
Sorry Flareon said Alicia. But hey we did take the tour of the aquarium, so we did something, together right? Flareon nodded yes. Alright Flareon can you please head back into the poke ball for now. Flareon headed back into the poke ball for a nice rest.
I guess I will head back to the cabin and change clothes. Alicia headed back to the cabin and changed into her swimsuit. Alright time to head up topside said Alicia. After leaving the cabin Alicia took the elevator and headed up topside. When Alicia got there, she looked around and saw a beach chair sitting next to a table with the umbrella sticking out.
That will do fine said Alicia as she headed over to get setup. As Alicia lay down on the chair and began to lie there and bathe in the sunlight, she began to feel nice and relaxed. Thankfully, Alicia did not get sunburnt and only stayed in this position for an hour. After an hour passed by Alicia decided to get up hop into the pool. Alright I am going to get in the pool said Alicia as she set her poke balls and things down on the table next to her.
Oh, it might not be a bad idea to send out a Pokémon to watch over my stuff said Alicia. Alicia picked up the poke ball and let Ninjask out of it. Ninjask can you watch my stuff for me? Ninjask smiled and nodded. Thanks, Ninjask I am going to be in the pool, so I will be nearby if you need anything. Just try not to get wet too much.
With that Alicia jumped into the pool. The water was warm and cool at the same time. Ah the water feels great said Alicia. Alicia began to swim around in the pool. Alicia decided to go under the water and see if she could hold her breath long enough to reach the bottom of the deep end.
The bottom is twelve feet below me I think I can do this. Alicia dove down and began swimming to the bottom of the pool. When Alicia reached the bottom, she bent over and touched it then headed back up to the surface. Alicia swam back up to the surface and popped her head out of the water. Alicia began to breathe normally again once her head was above the water since she no longer had to hold her breath.
Alicia just stayed still and treaded water in place not moving at all. Alicia eventually began to swim around the pool again and enjoyed herself some more. Thankfully, there was no one else in the pool with her so Alicia really had the pool all to herself. Alicia then spent about another thirty minutes in the pool before deciding to get out.
When Alicia got out of the pool her trademark red hair was shining in the sunlight. Alicia really took great pride in her hair as it is one of the key trademarks of her. Alicia walked over to get her stuff together and to dry off. As Alicia was drying off with a towel Ninjask still was hovering in the same spot making sure everything was okay. It is okay Ninjask you can stand down now I am right here said Alicia.
Ninjask stopped hovering and sat itself down on the floor. Thank you for your help Ninjask. I am going to have to put you back into your poke ball now. Ninjask stood there and agreed with Alicia by nodding its head and then went back into the poke ball. Well now that I am done drying off, I guess I will head back to the cabin and get some shuteye.
Alicia headed back to her cabin and shut the door behind her when she got in. I could take a shower to get some of this chlorine off me Alicia said as she walked past the bathroom. I better go ahead and do that so I can be clean. Alicia set her stuff down and headed into the shower to rinse off.
After about half an hour Alicia was done taking a shower. Once Alicia was dried off, she went to turn on the tv in the room. Alicia began to scroll through the channels with the remote but there was not a whole lot on to watch. Alicia eventually found a channel on tv that was talking about the Pokémon league.
There was a tv news reporter interviewing a trainer about the match they just had. It is obvious that they won as they were holding a first-place trophy up in the air. So, what can you tell me about how you are feeling right now after victory was achieved asked the news reporter? I feel rather good right about now said the trainer.
To have come so far in this tournament and win it all it is a great feeling. I see, and what is your plan for future endeavors now that you won asked the reporter? I have not decided yet what I am going to do but I will decided what to do eventually. Alright well you heard it from the winner herself folks this is unnova news reporter signing off.
Well, there may be something to do when I get to unnova said Alicia. I will probably take the gym challenge and then the Pokémon league while I am there. I already know I can win this easily as I am the most powerful trainer in the world after all. Not much else to do now but get some sleep. Alicia quickly fell asleep in the bed.
When Alicia woke up it was nine o' clock in the morning already. Alicia got herself out of bed and prepared to start the day. Suddenly, the captain came on the loudspeaker stating they had arrived in unnova and passengers can begin disembarking. Alright we are finally in unnova woohoo said Alicia. Alicia grabbed her stuff and put anything she left out back into her bag.
Alicia shut the cabin door and headed right toward the exit ramp leading down onto the dock. Thank you for sailing with us we hope to see you again said the guy at the exit. Alicia said thank you and headed down the ramp and onto the dock. Well, here we are in the biggest place in unnova Castelia city said Alicia.
Alicia gazed around all the big buildings and was in awe at everything in sight. Quite the city they got here. Alicia headed down the dock and right onto the city streets that were in front of her. I am going to rest up my Pokémon first at the Pokémon center before heading out to look around more. Alicia spotted the Pokémon center right in front of her.
Alicia went inside the Pokémon center and went up to nurse joy to heal up her Pokémon. Excuse me, nurse joy can you heal my Pokémon for me? Certainly, I will just take your poke balls and heal your Pokémon for you. Nurse joy successfully healed Alicia's Pokémon for her. Thank you nurse joy.
Alicia retrieved her Pokémon and then walked out of the Pokémon center to the city streets. I might need some transportation to get around faster. Thankfully, I have my own bike with me in my bag all folded up. I just need to unfold it and set it up and get to riding. Alicia took the bike out of the bag and unfolded it and was ready to ride.
Alicia got on the bike and decided to head down a side street next to the Pokémon center. Alicia began pedaling the bike toward the side street and began heading down to see what was around. When Alicia got there a whole bunch of stands were setup with people selling things. Alicia looked around and saw a stand that was selling something particularly interesting.
As Alicia approached the stand, she saw the person who was manning the stand and was selling Castelia cones. Alicia decided to try a castelia cone for herself. Can I have a castelia cone asked Alicia? Yes, certainly that will be one poke dollar. Alicia reached into her wallet and pulled out one poke dollar and handed it the stand attendant.
Here you go one castelia cone in exchange said the clerk as he handed Alicia the cone. Thank you said Alicia as she began to eat it. Alicia realized it was cold quickly after taking a bite of it. Alicia finished eating the castelia cone and headed farther down the street.
When Alicia went farther down the street there was a gym on the side. Alicia went over to the gym and decided to take the gym challenge. Bug type gym leader burgh. Alright this will be an easy victory said Alicia. As Alicia hitched up her bike to the bike stand, she saw the gym leader sitting down on the floor drinking some fresh water.
Alicia went into the gym and spoke to the leader. Hi, I assume you are the gym leader asked Alicia? Yes, that would be me said burgh. I would like to challenge you to a fight for the gym badge said Alicia. Alright that is fine with me said burgh. Take your place on your side of the field and I will take mine over here. The gym leader and Alicia took their positions on the field.
Alright so it is what is your name asked burgh? Alicia is my name, and you are going down. Oh, confident are we well let us see what you can do said burgh. Alright go Whirlipede said burgh as he tossed a poke ball onto the field. Whirlipede came out onto the field. Alright go Flareon said Alicia. Flareon came out of its poke ball onto the field.
Alright Flareon use flamethrower said Alicia. Flareon unleashed a powerful flamethrower attack. Whirlipede use rollout said burgh. Whirlipede used rollout and crashed right into the flamethrower attack. Amazingly Whirlipede managed to punch through the flamethrower attack and charged right at Flareon.
Flareon use blaze kick said Alicia. Flareon kicked the charging Whirlipede hard with its feet and the Pokémon went flying. Whirlipede crashed down hard onto the field and was knocked out. Come on back Whirlipede you did your best said burgh. Alright next up is dwebble said burgh as he tossed another poke ball out onto the field.
As the match went on Alicia continued to knock out burgh's Pokémon team like they were nothing. One by one burghs Pokémon were defeated, and Alicia had obtained the second gym badge. Leavanny return said burgh as he brought out its poke ball onto the field. Well Alicia that was quite the lopsided battle. That Flareon of yours is scary strong.
Thank you, burgh, said Alicia. I would like my gym badge now. Burgh reached into his pocket and handed the gym badge to Alicia. Excellent my first unnova gym badge said Alicia as she held it up into the air. Thanks for the fight burgh said Alicia. You are welcome said burgh but try not to brag about it too hard as there are stronger trainers and gym leaders out there in the world then me.
Alicia nodded yes in agreement as she turned around and walked out of the gym. Alicia unhitched her bike and headed out onto the streets again. Where should I go next asked Alicia to herself. I Guess maybe I could backtrack a way and hit up the first gym.
Alicia saw a tunnel leading to what appears to be a new route. This looks like it leads into the city but what if I took the route and headed backwards down it. Would that get me to the first gym area? Alicia decided to take a chance and see where this goes as Alicia was certain it would lead all the way back to the first gym.
Alright I am going to do it said Alicia I am going down this route. Alicia went through the tunnel and emerged on the other side of the tunnel and then entered the forest in front of her. Alicia began pedaling through the forest enjoying the scenery along the way. As Alicia was moving through the forest, she saw someone lying down with a book over their head.
They appeared to be asleep and Alicia was not certain that she should wake them up. Alicia stopped her bike and looked at who this person could be. Alicia decided to head on anyway as she did not want to disturb the peaceful slumber the unidentified person was experiencing. Alicia began to pedal again but she did not get far until she heard the person behind her telling her to wait.
Hey, wait up said the unidentified person. Alicia stopped the bike and looked back at the person who was just sleeping a moment ago. The unidentified person got up and walked over to Alicia. Hey just to let you know this whole forest is filled with bug type Pokémon said the girl. Lots of poison type Pokémon as well. Thanks for the heads up said Alicia but I have dealt with forests like this before, so I know what to expect.
Alright just thought I would let you know said the girl. So, are you going to the next town asked the girl? Yes, I am planning on heading there right now said Alicia. We will just keep out of one of the buildings in the farthest part of town. Why should I do that asked Alicia?
Because there are reports of the building being haunted. Haunted asked Alicia? Yea lots of strange reports about that place come in often. It is /probably not true but I will investigate it and see if I can find anything. What is your name the girl asked? My name… it is Alicia. What is yours asked Alicia? My name is Hilda.
Alright Alicia I will see you around said Hilda as she headed off into the forest and out of sight. Alicia started pedaling and continued down the path in the forest. Alicia was glad to have met someone new since she arrived in unnova, but she could not help but wonder if that mysterious trainer would show up again.
As Alicia continued down the forest path a whole bunch of beedrill were flying around their hive until they spotted Alicia. Alicia slammed on the bike's brakes hoping to avoid angering the beedrill. As the bike came to a stop the beedrill looked to be very territorial and ready to defend their hive.
Alicia was getting nervous being around the beedrill, so she slowly backed up the bike and did not make any sudden moves. As Alicia backed up slowly the beedrill began to stand down. Okay, crisis averted said Alicia as she backed up enough to turn the bike around and head in the other direction. Thankfully, Alicia pedaled out of sight of the beedrill and the danger had started to pass.
Oh, thank god that is over said Alicia as she continued to look for another way around. I thought I was going to have to send out Flareon and have him take out those beedrill. There was a whole bunch of them but Flareon could have taken them all down easily. Let us just continue with the journey and forget this ever happened.
Alicia continued pedaling and finally reached the exit of the forest. Here we are said Alicia the end of the forest. Now let us go see about checking out that abandoned building Hilda mentioned. I think what I should have done was ask Hilda if she wanted to come along with me. I am going to go back there and see if Hilda wants to tag along with me.
Alicia turned around and headed back to where she met Hilda. When she got there Hilda was not around. Alicia remembered that Hilda had run off into the forest so she decided to see if she could locate her. As Alicia headed off into the forest, she decided to call out Hilda's name and see if she would respond.
Hilda are you out there its Alicia. We just met and I want to ask you something. Alicia continued into the forest heading a bit farther in. As Alicia headed onward into the forest, she thought she heard something rustling in the bushes. Alicia looked over toward the bush that was now rustling. Alicia reached for a poke ball on her waist and prepared to face whatever it was that was in there.
Who is there asked Alicia? Suddenly a Pokémon walked out from behind the bush. It was the fire type Pokémon Tepig. Tepig said the Pokémon as it came out into view. Wow, a tepig said Alicia. Tepig walked over to Alicia and sniffed her then greeted her. Alicia bent down and petted Tepig who seemed to warm right up to Alicia.
Oh, there you are Tepig said a familiar voice. Tepig and Alicia both turned to look at the lone figure standing there. Tepig ran over to Hilda and was happy to see her. Hi, again Hilda I have been looking for you said Alicia. Hey, Alicia how are you asked Hilda?
I am fine said Alicia how about you? I am doing fine said Hilda. You know we just talked about 5 minutes ago and I did not think you could have gotten that far said Alicia. I move quick said Hilda and tepig wandered off, so I needed to find him. Hilda bent down and picked up tepig.
So, what now? Well, I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to investigate the haunted building you told me about asked Alicia? Go with you to investigate a haunted building asked Hilda? Yes, if you come with me, we could have more time to talk to each other said Alicia. Okay, but can I stick close to you asked Hilda? Sure, I am not scared of anything said Alicia.
Thanks, said Hilda. Hilda and Alicia headed off and out of the forest and to find the abandoned building. Thankfully, Hilda too had a bike in her bag with her and the two of them rode off together unsure of what lay ahead of them.
