Hello everyone and welcome to the third chapter of this fic.

As I promised in the previous one I want to make a "Time with reviews" section at the beggining, in ther I would be glad to ask all the questions I can (it depends on the question), and of course to tjhank you all for your grammar or horrible mistakes corrections.

So as promised Time with REVIEWS (or REVIEW in this case):

novaking2832: I'm very glad you like it, to recieve your review really improved my day. As to the matter, the fact that Ruby changes from a kind of a badass to a shy person has its background (which I already have planned). You will probably get some hints in this and mostly in the next chapter. You will have to wait for a bit more to know all the background as it is a very important part of the story and this is starting. So sorry if I couldn't explain you more, I'll only say that your guess is not correct hahah. So thanks for your review I really hope that you and everyone enjoys this chapter.

So that's it for today, I hope to get more reviews for next time.

After saying all this, all that's left is an: Enjoy the chapter.


Sapphire POV

It was 5.10 p.m. when we arrived there. We looked for him on the tables but we weren't able to find him, so we looked in the book shelves. There we found him. He was looking for a book, it seemed. We went there and I pated his back:

-Hey, sorry we are late!

-Oh- he startled- doesn't matter- he continued turning to me.

And then I met his gaze… It was only for a brieve moment, but it seemed minuts for me. His eyes, dark-red eyes, so familiar and yet so strange... so filled with power, such a powerful eyes, but at the same time so sad... I couldn't describe them.

-So what are you doing?- said Emerald bringing me back on earth.

- I was looking for a book in this shelf... it may have a lot of information about geysers. It's name is, "The unknown beauty of Nature". Can you see it anywhere?- he asked us.

- Yep, it's there!- I shouted.

-Shhhhht Sapph, we are in a library after all- Emerald scolded me.

I then looked up and saw everyone looking at me. I started to apologize to everyone very embarrassed. After that I jumped to catch the book and I handled it to Rub.

-Is this one?-I asked him in a low voice.

- U-uh well yeah, that's the book I was talking about- he said then- thanks, we sould go to the tables now, I left my laptop there.

-Yeah, let's go- said Emerald.

We then sat on the desk on which Rub's laptop was and he turned it on. The laptop was black and red and it was quite up-to-date. On the screen appeared a photo of a boy wearing a hat, him and six pokemon, a house and a woman I recognized as his mother. The pokemon were a Myghtiena, a Delcatty, a Swampert, a Kirlia, a Castform and finally a Milotic.

-Are these your pokemon?- I asked him.

- W-What? Yes, the pokemon in this picture are my pokemon- he answered.

-Wow, you have very differnent type of them- Emerald said- Are they strong?

- It depends, every pokemon has its own strength I believe- he said serious.

-What about a battle later?- Emerald asked.

Then I saw it again... his face darkening, his eyes looking extremely... sad.

-I'm sorry but as you probably know I hate battling- he said in a contained tone.

- O-okay- Emerald was now surprised.

-Hey what about doing the report before doing anything else?- I said to break the tension. I still really want to battle him, someday I will. He must be strong... he is the son of a gym leader after all.

-Yes it's true- said Rub, glad for the topic change. Then I realized that he was wearing glasses.

-Why are you wearing glasses?-I asked, he didn't wear those in the classroom.

-I have farsightedness, it means that I can see well distant objects or people, but I can't see well in a very close distance such as the computer- he explained.

-Uh okay- I said, I have never been into human medicine.

-So what about the project?- Emerald asked.

-Well we can do now the report with the book. But for what I've read this phenomenom is very rare and not very eas to understand with just words- he said to us.

-Why don't we make an experiment so that we can show them what happens in a geyser- said Emerald.

-Yeah that would be good. My dad always says that to see the things with your own eyes is the best way to undesrtand them, that's why he always on the field seeing things by himself- I said, PROF. BIRCH is known as the "field's Professor" by his colleges.

- Okay then, it's a great idea, so I will be doing the theoretical part while you...- Rub started.

-I'll do it, I am going to make that experiment true- said Emerald and he left- I wonder what kind of machine I should devise for that- he was saying while he was running from there.

- O-okay then- Rub said.

Then there was an awkward silence, the only sound was him tipping in his laptop.

-So what about us? What do we have to do?- I asked.

-W-well... I don't know- he said- Any idea?

-Nope- I said trying to think in a way to focuse our report.

-Then why don't we...

(Two hours and a half later)

-Wow, we are done...- I said with an incredule face.

-Yes we are...-he said turning off his laptop.

-Wow ten pages long, that's a lot of information we put in there.

-Well yes, thank you for helping, I believe that normally I would have been working a lot more to finish this- he said.

-Why is that?- I asked.

-W-well, you know, back in my previous school we did reports and field works in pairs, the same as here, the thing is that we were 21 people in my class so one was left to do his report alone- he said in a sad voice.

-You were this one?- he nodded with a sad smile- What about your friends? They never tried to be paired with you?- his sad smile faded.

- I said you this before, I dind't have any friend there, that's why I was left alone. Nobody really cared about me there- he said.

-Oh, I'm sorry- I began to apology for not remembering this. Having to admit or realise that had to be very difficult for everyone.

- Don't be, it's not your fault- he said with a little, yet comforting smile- I have to go, it's quite late... S-see you tomorrow- he said to me.

- Yes, see ya- I said to him.

After that he started running to the apartments aera. I was watching him leaving. For the past two hours we had been doing our report, quite a long one. I realised that he is very intelligent, he was able to collect and sumarize the data we found in thebooks with an amazing speed. I began to feel more intrigated about this guy. First his loneliness, his hate for battles, his behaviour, his eyes... So I started to run to Emerald's place. We live in the apartment aera, the same as everyone in the Academy, the only difference is that the nine blocks of the Pokedex Holders are very near from each other. Actually Emerald's is only three houses away from mine. I arrived there in 5 minutes. I know he would be in his room so I went to the rear part of the house and I looked throgh the window.

-There, with this two components and some heat... BINGO!- I heard him say. Then I knocked at his window-Sapphire what are you doing here?- he said opening his window and letting me in.

-Well, we have already finished the report- I answered.

-Oh, great so we have already done our Geography project since I have just finished the experiment, it's very simple in fact. So how was he, did he bother you much? Did he do anything at all?- he asked me.

-What? Yes, in fact he did the most of the project. I only helped him to find information and classify it, he is very smart-I answered- And no he didn't asked me anything that's not related to the report. Why do you ask?

-Well, only to make sure, I believe he is a good guy, but I can't stand stalkers or fans sometimes- he said.

-Yeah, me neither. But speaking of Rub I want to ask you a favour- I said.

-What about?-he asked.

-Well I would like you and me to follow him...-I said.

-What? That's for what Green said earlier? I'm sure he was just overreacting-He said to me.

-No that's not it- I began- I would like to know more about him, I feel that there is something strange about him, not bad, only different- I explained.

-Um.. well I have this same sensation, he is so different from everyone I know here appart from us- Emerald answered- So what do you want?

-Well, can you skip class until next week?- I asked him sheepishly- I will ask him about his live and probably try to battle with him.

-So what I have to do?

-Well it would appreciate if you would follow him when he leaves the academy, will you do it?- I asked.

- Yes, in fact I want to focuse my time in creating a certain object and with school i wouldn't have time... I want to train with my pokemon too- he said- plus I'm quite interested in knowing why does he hate battling.

- Okay then, thanks Emerald, see you tomorrow for dinner, you will have some things to explain, the same as me- I said, and then I went to my house to prepare my dinner and finally go to sleep.

Blue's POV (6 p.m.)

-Okay, so you want to book the indoor battlefields for next Friday- the academy's director said thinking.

-Yes, that's it- I said to him- do you think it will be possible?

- Yes, of course, we will only say that they need to be repaired that day so you will have those battlefields all for you- he commented.

-Oh, thanks a lot- I said to him.

-Well that's nothing if you compare what are you doing for us- he explained.

-Well, thanks again- I said- so we will be going there at 6p.m. and we will probably dash out of there at 8.30p.m.

-Okay, it will be yours since 10 then- he said to me.

-Perfect, and thanks again- I said before leaving.

I was walking to my apartment after having booked the indoor battlefield's for Sapphire's birthday. She loves to battle, and she is very strong with her pokemon, so she will like this very much. It's her birthday after all. I was just going to enter home when I saw some light in the living room of my neighbour's apartment. I then headed to that apartment and I started looking through the window. I saw no one inside so I just openned the window and entered there without any sound, I was one of the best thieves of my city years before.

-What are you doing here?- I heard that very well-known voice.

-Oh Green I thought you were in the kitchen or something- I said to him smiling.

-Pesky girl... What are you doing here anyways?-he asked me.

- Well I am here to tell you that I already have everything very well-planned Sapphire's birthday party- I said to him.

-And that is?- he asked before thinking about it more- No don't tell me, you are going to try and put Red and Yellow together as well as Gold and Crystal with one of your mischievious plans, don't you?

-Hey, that's no it!- I said faking being upset about his comment- I just booked the indoor battlefields for the afternoon so we can go there and battle without being disturbed.

-Oh, well that was unnexpected- he said surprised, I sent out a giglle then- that's a pretty good idea, we all like to battle, and Sapphire loves it. We can all have a good time there.

-You see, I'm not such a "Pesky" girl after all- I said that word making fun of him.

-So you are not going to try and put them together?-he said with a questioning look.

-Well, yeah, but that will come later- I said smiling sheepishly.

-You are a Pesky girl indeed- he said going to the kitchen.

-Hey, I heard that- I said faking being angry.

-Yeah, I know-he said returning with an orange juice and two glasses- You want some?

-Yes, thanks I'm very thirsty- I said to him- seems like you are turning to quite a gentelman aren't you?

- I just realised that if I came here with a glass for myself I would probably have to go back and get one for you- he said- isn't it true?

-Well seems like you got to know me after all- I said laughing.

-So that was the only thing you wanted to tell me?- he asked.

-No, actually I came here for another thing- I said to him in a serious tone- What's the matter with Rub, you know, the boy Sapph and Emerald told us about earlier?

-What about him?- he said.

-Well we wer telling us that he seemed lonley, that he didn't like to battle and that , unlike the rest of the academy students, he didn't bother any of them and the first thing you say about him is that you think that we should watch him close, as if he was some kind of enemy- I explained to him, then I waited for his response.

-It's not like that, I just found his behaviour very strange. He could be an enemy, I hope not, he seemed a nice guy, but the possibility is there. I also have a different feeling about him, I don't know what it is but...- he explained in a more serious tone than mine.

-Well we will see, I do believe he is not an enemy. I think that you need to relax a bit, we are not always in danger you know?- I said.

-Yeah I hope that's true... but for now i would like to know what he's doing, I am a bit interested in him- he said.

-I'm sure of it, don't overpush yourself, you can always rely on Red and me- I said to him- we are the older ones, after all.

-I know, I know- he said.

-Well I'll go home there are a lot of matchmaking plans to make and I only have a week- I said to him before going home.

-You will always be such a Pesky girl...- he muttered.

Emerald's POV

11th of September

-Hey there Sapph, so how was the day?- I said to her when I oppenned the door.

-Well, it was great!-she said excitedly.

-Yeah? Why? Have you discovered anything about him?- I asked confused.

- Well, since you didn't come to class he sat next to me all day, he didn't do that on his own, of course- she said- if I haven't said tha you weren't coming because you are ill, and asked him to sit there he would have sat at his place in the rear bottom of the class and alone.

-Well that was part of the plan... why don't you tell him that I won't go until Monday and that he can sit there since then?- I asked, I we want to learn something about him this is the best way.

-Yeah I will send him a message later...-she said.

-Wow, you already have its PokeGear number?- I asked.

-Yes we gave each other our numbers this morning...

-And now class you will be doing a report about the different natures who increase the attack or defense of a pokemon- said miss Laura our tutor and the Pokemon Types teacher. It's a group report, come here and say the members of each group.

-Where are we going to do?- I whispered to him.

-Well go with Emerald, he is your pair for reports and projects, isn't he?- he answered.

-Yeah but he's ill, he won't come until Monday-I said.

-Well so what do you want to do?-he asked back.

-Why don't we do this report as a group?- I asked.

-Could be good, but what about Emerald, he is your friend isn't he?-he said- Wait why don't we just put his name in the report so he will be qualified and then we do that report the two of us?

-Yeah that would be great!- I said smiling.

-So you wanted to do the report without me...- I said faking being upset.

-It's not like that I would've talked to miss Laura ans she would understand the problem. The most possible thing is that you didn't even need to do that report- she said not realising my joke.

-I know, I am messing with you- I said laughing- So that's all, nothing more?

- Well yes, we are doing the report tomorrow so I will make him have kunch with me, Red, Green and the rest- she said.

-You think this is a good idea?-that surprised me- You know what did Green say about him.

-That's the reason I want to bring him, so everyone get to know him and can take evidence before talking about him- she answered- I think he deserves that. And what about you did you found anything useful?

-Yes, of course, I found where he lives, his route to the supermarket, that he can cook quite well...-I answered- He is inside his apartment most of the time, he studies, grooms his pokemon a lot...

-Well that's a lot of things... anything related to his pokemon?- she asked me.

-Not much, as I said he grooms them a lot, but I didn't see him training them at all- I said..

-Well good for today, I am going to sleep, tomorrow will be a tough day- she said- How's your Pokeball launcher going?

-Very well I made great advances today, good night- I answered.

-Good for you, g'night- she said with a thumbs up.

Sapphire's POV

12th of September

-Well classes are over...-I said stretching myslef in the chair.

-Yes they're, I'm quite tired right now- he said, our PE teacher was very tough with us today.

-That's good, you are coming with me- I whispered to Rub catching him by surprise.

-W-where? I am about to go home and make my lunch- he said.

- Why don't you come and eat with us?- I asked him- you said you are kinda tired so why don't go and eat in a bar today?

-Us? Who do you mean?- he asked.

-Us, the Pokedex Holders, Red, Blue, Gold... us-I answered, now he was even more surprised..

-W-what? It would be good I guess, but the don't know me and I don't want to be a nuisance- he said very nervous- I believe I'll pass for today.

-Why? Do you have something more to do?- I asked him, he said nothing- Good, now go.

-I can't escape, can I?- he said giving up.

-Nope, but why don't you want to meet them? They're very nice people- I asked.

-I believe you, but you are always tailed by fans and you probably want to hang out and spend some time all of you alone- he said that with a serious face- If I go with you I'll only be intruding in your conversations.

-No you are not, come on it will be fun- I said- after that we can focus in the Pokemon natures report.

-Okaay, I'll go – he said rising his hand in a sign of defeat.

-Great, now follow me- I said to him.

With that we dashed out of the building. The meeting place was the lake in the woods area of the park, not very far from the aparments or the main buiding, but far enough for anyone to come there by accident. It's a large lake with all kinds of water pokemon surrounded by trees for the wooden side and grass for the other. The grass part also had a picnic area which is very used in sunny days. When we were arriving there I saw 7 figures standing and talking, when we arrived there Blue turned to greet me and my companion.

-Hey Sapphire, and...- Blue said before starting to smile in a very devil smirk- Wow, Sapph is that your boyfriend?

All turned to see us and some wore a surprised look on their faces. Rub on the other hand only tried to avoid all their gazes.

-WHAT?- I yelled at her, then she began to laugh very loud.

-I'm sorry Sapph, I just couldn't resist myself- she said to me with that "you will forgive me and you know it" grin she makes- So you are Rub, aren't you?

-Uhm, well yeah, my name's Rub and I happen to go to the same class as Emerald and Sapphire- he said not as shy as Yellow, that's nearly impossible, but still shy.

-Yeah we know, they have spoken so much of you these days- said Blue- my name's Blue by the way, nice to meet you.

Rub was surprised by this, I believe that for what he says not a lot of people talked about or to him in his earlier school. I don't know why, he is quite shy, but also he seems very nice for what I've seen.

-My name is Gold, and this is Super Serious Gal- Gold said pointing at Crystal.

-Hey I can present myself!- said Crys and then turning to Rub- I'm Crystal.

-Name's Red- he said with his smile before pointing at Yellow- and she is Yellow.

-N-nice to meet you- Yellow said.

-I'm Silver- he said.

-Hi my name's Green- Green said in his serious tone.

-Well now you know them all, the 9 Dexholders, counting me and Emerald- I said to him.

-Well now that we all know each other... why don't we go to have lunch?- Gold said.

-Yes I'm starving mr. Jon (our PE teacher) has been very hard on us today- I said.

-Good, let's go- said Red and we all went to the restaurant.

When we arrived there, there was no body around so we entered and asked for the most isolated table they had. We went there and watched for the menu. When we all have chosen what were we going to eat and said it to the waiter Blue began to talk.

-So tell us about you Rub, where do you live?- she said.

-Uhm well I live in a small town in the East from here, about 3 hours and a half by car- Rub said, I already knew this one actually.

-Oh that's pretty far- Gold said- On the other hand, do you realize what you caused the day you entered here?

-What? Oh you mean the mess with the fanclubs?- he said- Q-quite the celebrities you are here.

-Yeah, don't say it- Yelloy said trying to not to think about it.

-Mess? Did you see the same as me?- yelled Gold- That was not a mess, not a fight, that was a three-sided war? Tell me one thing what fanclub won the war?

-W-what do you mean by that?- Rub said confused.

-Well you see, I believe that mister immature here wants to know what fanclub did you join- Crystal said- that one will be our biggest problem from now on.

-I didn't joined any of them- he explained- when everything started I escaped from there and went up to the director's office.

That was unnexpected, even for me, but at the same time it was kinda good to know that one of the students in our academy was unlikely to become an stalker. The Blue asked about him again.

-Do you live there with your parents?- she continued, I know where this is going to end.

-Y-yes with my mom and my father.

-What are their jobs?- said Green directly.

-Well my mom used to drive a lorry she worked in a moving company- he asked simply.

-And your dad?- this was from Red, but Green wanted to hear too.

-W-well he is a gym leader- he answered in a low voice- but I think that you already knew this, didn't you?- he said then.

- Yes, so answer me this, why don't you like battling?- Green said.

-I have my reasons- he said with his sad dark-red eyes again.

-What are them?-Green asked again.

-I'm sorry , but I won't answer this question- he said then.

-But you do have pokemon, don't you?- Red said- What about them?

- I train them of course, they deserve to be trined. It's not a thing I can deprive them from.

-Every person has an aim to train their pokemons... what's yours?- said the always silent Silver.

-I am into pokemon contests- he said with.

-I still can understand why can someone don't like battling, it's so exciting- said Gold, I completely agree with him.

-If he don't like them we should accept it- said Crystal.

With that the talking began to change from one subject to another. Rub talked sometimes with everyone, he was starting gain a bit of confidence. He is very smart, he could talk about a lot of differents subjects, from sports too pokemon food for example. After that everyone started to go home or train in the case of Green, Red, Yellow (because of Red), Gold and Silver. Me and Rub headed to the library to do our report.

Emerald's POV (later that night)

-Hey Sapph how are things?- I said while opening the door.

-Great, thanks- she said while entering in my apartment.

-So, tell me, how was the meeting- I asked, this was one thing I would have paid to see in first person.

-Good, I guess- she said- as you probably guess they all wanted to ask him for his battle's hate, that was the unic tense moment.

-Did he respond something?- I asked- something else?

-No, he just said that he has his reasons and that he didn't want to talk about it- she answered- Oh and he said that despite from that he still trains his pokemon because it's nothing he can deprive them from.

-Well that's interesting, I've never seen him going anywhere to train them, the only thing he does with them is grooming them.

-There is in an interesting fact about him, whenever we say something about why he doesn't like battling, he puts a very sad and hurt face- she said- no like hate, more like hurt- she said in a concerned tone.

-So hurt, heh?- it could be.

-Yes-she said- so you discovered something?

-Well, yes and no, I only could make sure what I learned yesterday. He has stayed with you the most part of the day so I couldn't see a lot- I said.

-Yeah it's ok, tomorrow's the last day so we better go to sleep- she said- g'night.

-Good night Sapphire.

13th of September

Ruby's POV

We were flying above the clouds, escaping... "Happy birthday Sapph" I said before being hugged by her. She was hugging me with that fungy grin in her face, it was perfect, but then... "Watchout" and there it was, the Salamence. Then an attack, pain, blood my vision blurring by it. Then another attack and a fall... Eyes, those eyes...

-Whaaa!- I yelled.

It was a nightmare... that nightmare. The nightmare that has been awakening me for 5 years now. The same nightmare that awakes me more or less 4 times a week.

I looked at the clock, it was 6.43a.m. Crap, I normally get up at 7 a.m. so I got up and I went to the bathroom. After being ready I put my school uniform, a pair of dark green trousers and my white polo, and, of course, my hat. Then I had breakfast and I went to school.

Sapphire's POV

We were flying above the clouds, escaping... "Happy birthday Sapph" he said. "What?" "It's past midnight so happy birthday". I hugged him, everything was perfect, but then... "Watchout". And there it was, the Salamence. Ruby protecting me, an attack from the pokemon, blood, Ruby's blood... Me paralized from fear. Another attack and... Ruby falling.

-NOOOO!- I screamed, I felt tears falling from my eyes.

It was a nightmare, that same nightmare that has kept awakening me a lot of times every week for the last five years.

I looked at the clock. Shit, it was 7.12 and I was going to be late. I stood up and I began to tie my hair. It's winda difficult to keep it this way. I have brown hair that falls a bit before it reaches my shoulders, but I tye it in a very short tail and two bangs in the two sides of my bed. I used to have it all the way down, but its more comfortable this way and it allows me to battle more comfortably. Then I put on my school uniform, a while blouse with a bow tie and a dark green skirt, long enough to wear short bike trousers below. I hate skirts so that was a good surprise apart from the fact that I have to wear a skirt. Then I had a quick breakfast before going to the academy.

In my way to the academy I recieved a messge from Green:

"To the 9 of us, meet today at my place at 9 p.m. I'll tell you there what's all about. Me and Blue will not come to the academy today. Bye"

With that I started running, it was 7.55 a.m.

Ruby's POV

Well I was going home after buying my needs from town. It was 8 p.m. and I was wlaking to the empty streets of the apartment sector. And also for the third day in a row I am being stalked by Emerald. I didn't know why, but I assume that this is for my strange behaviour towards them... I didn't mind it at all in fact, I had nothing to hide from them, visually...

When I arrived to my apartment I cooked my dinner, a simple one, I didn't want anything too complex for today. When I finished I cleaned everything. Since I am quite a cleaning freak I didn't have to clean that much. I was grooming my pokemon when my PokeGear ringed.

-Hello?-I said.

-Oh hello honey how are things in there?- my mother asked.

-Oh hi mom, they are good I suppose- I said to her- Why are you crying?

-Oh well, it's just that I miss you, you were always here and now you are far away from us- she said sobbing.

-I'm not that far- I said to her.

-Well, so how are things, there? Any new friend?- she asked.

-You knew who I was going to meet there didn't you?-I asked her.

-Yes, I knew- she said apologeticaly-I am sorry, but you didn't have any friends here so I though that meeting your old ones would be good.

-Have you already met them?- a voice of a man I knew too well said.

-Hey dad-I said- yes I have.

-Seriously?- my mom said- How?

-Well it's difficult not to notice them in this academy. They are like celebrities, they have at least 3 fanclubs- I said tryong avoid the subject, but I didn't succeed.

-Stop changing the subject boy, have you met them personally?- my dad asked from behind.

-Yes- I said giving up- Emerald and Sapphire are in my class, and I had lunch with them all yesterday.

-Great, now you've recovered your old friends- my mom said excitedly- I'm so glad for you Ruby, dear.

-Please don't get the wrong idea mom- I said feeling the calm that comes before the storm- and my name in this academy is Rub, not Ruby.

-What? What do you mean with that?-she asked confused.

-They don't know who I am.

-What? WHY?-my dad shouted.

-They only know that my name's Rub that you are a gym leader and that I HATE battles- he said.

-But why? Why didn't you explain to them?- she said.

-What did you wanted me to do? It's been five years...- I began to feel tears in my eyes- they could have forgot me.

Norman's POV

-Of course they remember you honey- my bride said to my son.

-And what did you want me to do if they remember? Go to them and say "Hi guys I'm Ruby, and yes I'm alive, what's up?- Ruby said- I've changed so much and you know it. What if they don't accept me...

-You are being a coward, face your fears for god's sake- I said to him.

-You say what you want dad, but I'm the one who is here and I'm the one who will do what I WANT- he said to me.

-You disappoint me Ruby- I said to him.

-I'VE ALWAYS HAD- he shouted to me- every day since I woke up in that hospital 5 years ago. And with that he hung up.

-You didn't have to be so hard with him- my bride said.

-I had to, I only want him to be the way he was. He could become a Pokedex Holders with his abilities, he is way stronger than me. If he becomes the 10th memner of the Pokedex Holders he will never loose his friends again- I said to her.

-Yeah, that's true- she said hugging me- I only want him to be happy too, he deserves it.

Ruby's POV

I couldn't undesrtand him. Did he think that this was easy for me? They all seem fine, they didn't need me for the Pokedex championship and they seem to be perfectly fine now.

Clearing my thoughts I remembered that I needed to train for my contest on Sunday so I returned all my pokemon and I headed to that clearing in the woods that me and my old friends met yesterday. When I arrived there I could see no one there so I sent Zuzu out and started to train with him just by the lake. Then I heard a noise and I felt some pain.

-OUCH!

¡SPLASH!


So that's all for now. Wow this chapter is longer thatn the previous one... I'm sorry if this chapter has a lot of explanation, but not very much action. I can assure you that the next one will include a kind of competition including Ruby (you can probably guess what kind of one).

I'll say something clear, I love pokemon battles so I'm not gonna skip them if I can, and I will not follow the four-movements-only rule.

So the only thing I can say is: please REVIEW.
