"Good job Diro! Now, Durrell, use a Whirlwind! Diro, use this distraction to Peck the Whipur!"

Whipur, a Snake Pokemon unique to this new region, hissed as it drew back its whiplash tail, and then it shot forward!

"Poison Whip!" screamed Trion, the gym leader of Toxin Gym, the first gym in the Bento region. The tail came down, injecting poision from the many tiny stingers along its edge. The Doduo brothers screamed with pain as they were poisoned as well as hurt.

"NO!" yelled Yerill. Her eyes opened wide in shock and horror. She quickly snatched a Pokeball out of her pocket. "Return, Diro! Return, Durrell!" The two-headed Pokemon flashed in a bright red light as it vanished.

"Grrrrrr...my next best bet is to release Yiva and hope that she can help. I don't have any Antidotes or poison-healing items on hand." Cheri and Creecee had been poisoned earlier, either by Whipur or by the earlier Muk. (Yeah, he had a Pokemon from all the way back to the old times. Wonder why.)

"Go, Yiva! Use your Thunder!"

Whipur's eyes widened, and its tail lashed out in a futile attempt at defense.

There was a loud, zapping noise, and Whipur fainted. It was utterly defeated.

"Yay!" cheered Yerill. "This is nice!"

Trion smiled. "You fought well, young trainer. Here is your badge, the Sludge Badge." Yerill smiled, and proudly took it in her hand. Perka walked up next.

"I would like to battle you as well, once you have healed your Pokemon."

"You are considerate of others. I accept this challenge."

"Go, Muk!" cried Trion!

"Go, Serena!" commanded Perka. "Use Gust!"

"Quick, Muk! Use Poison Gas!"

The gas enveloped Serena, who gasped and coughed. However, the powerful Gust hit Muk, knocking it all about in a bad way. Finally, it collapsed in a pile of sludge. (Hee hee) Serena was just enjoying her victory, when a large pile of Sludge caught her straight-on! She was hit, and collapsed on the ground, poisoned.

"No, Serena! Are you alright?" called Perka. His voice seemed so far away...Serena was drifting away from the real world...

Greetings, Pidgetto.

Wha? cried Serena. Who are you?

I am Rirra.

But...but...WHAT are you?

A Latias. Hurry. You will soon recover, so listen. Our world is in danger. You must take your trainer to route 304. It is far, but you can Fly. I will enable you to go there, do not worry. Be careful...

The voice faded away, and Serena's eyes came back into focus.

"Good!" sighed Perka. "You're alright! You really had me worried there...I used Kyocheep and Kips to finish the battle. They're healing up right now."

A nurse came in. "Your Pokemon are fully healed...oh! Your Pidgeotto's awake! She was in a trance before, but she's okay now."

"A TRANCE?"

"Yes, let me tell you about it..."

"So you see, the legendaries put Pokemon into a trance when they have urgent words to convey. However, it is hard to do so when a Pokemon is healthy. They must have a status condition inflicted."

"Ah," said Perka. Just then, Yerill came in. "Oh! Serena's awake! What was wrong with her?"

"Sit down, and I'll tell you about it..."

"Wow! That's interesting! What did you hear?" Yerill asked Serena excitedly.

W-w-well, we need to Fly to Route 304...

Nurse Joy, who had just come in, gasped. "Route 304? It is said that a Raichu dwells there, and it has burned all the vegetation. It will be a dangerous journey..." She handed the two trainers a bag of various Potions. "You will need these. I wish you luck."

The two thanked her, and then stood to leave. But first, they called back their Pokemon. And then, they walked out the door, to the dangerous beyond...

There you go! Hope you'll like it!
