Summary: When Kid goes back to Mortality City, Black Star and Soul see it as a chance to battle him.

Lord Death heard air flowing from the skateboard he gave his son years ago. The noise stopped and was replaced with light footsteps. Even if it was a day after he said Kid should be home, it was expected that he'd be home late. It was also expected that he would spend the next hour re-fixing an already perfect room.

The whole time Kid was preoccupied, Lord Death was trying to come up with the best way to break the bad news to his son.

"Dad, I'm back," Kid after he finally finished

"Welcome back Kiddo! Did you get lots of entries in that little pokedex of yours?"

Kid nodded. He handed over the black device for his father to look through. "They were mostly pokemon that also come from other regions, but he did have a couple Jotia- unique pokemon. Where should I go next to get more data?"

Lord Death handed back the device. "You choose where to go Kid. This shouldn't like Unova and Alola, this is your own region and you'll have to protect it when you get older. See the sights, take your time, and just enjoy filling up the pokedex. Kay?"

"O-kay? But isn't the goal to complete a pokedex? Seeing sights and stuff wouldn't help that goal."

"Yes, but haven't you ever heard that it's not about the destination, it's about the journey? I think that you should go on a pokemon journey like all those other kids are. Spirit's daughter just started her journey with a friend. You should have seen them while you were at Stein's house. Wouldn't it be nice to join them and see our great region in person?"

Kid shrugged. "I guess."

"Good," Lord Death said, extra cheerfully. "With that said, you should go to Loss Town."

"Loss town!?" Kid questioned. Loss town, also called Jotia's Lavender Town, is on the map for having the best, and basically only, graveyard in the region. Nothing else of note was really there.

"Why would I want to go to Loss Town? I don't think any pokemon live there."

In a tone that didn't really waver from being happy, Lord Death explained. "The thing is the gyarados you caught was incredibly sick and we couldn't find a cure in time. I thought you might want to see it again in Loss Town."

Kid looked at his father horrified. "I… I killed it?"

"Oh, no, nothing like that. It was something in its blood that made it so sick. Its blood was very interesting, actually. The viscosity and color were much thicker and darker than it should be. Spirit and I are doing some tests on it, but it seems to have a third type on top of water and flying."

"But isn't that impossible."

"Yes, it is. The third type itself is completely unrecognizable; we're calling it livid type for now, since it was there with the dark, dull-colored blood."

"A new type! Dad, this is incredible, but it can't be any good. Team Salem is behind all this, aren't they? They made the gyrados like that They're the ones who killed it. We have to stop them!"

Lord Death waggled a newly formed, giant white finger. "No Kid, don't get involved in this. We're taking care of Team Salem already. You should be going back to Mortality City and meet up with the kids I told you about and fill up that pokedex. I'll tell you if I need any help."

"But father-" Kid started. He looked deep into the eyes of his dad's mask. The way that it stared back, he knew that the argument wasn't going to end in his favor. Sighing in defeat Kid brought out his skateboard. "Fine, I won't go after Team Salem, but that's it."

"Kay. And Kiddo, after you left I started talking to all of the nice magikarp you caught," Lord Death lifted up a filled friend ball, "and this one really appreciates you saving it and its friends. I think it wants to travel with you."

Kid didn't take the ball as it was presented to him. "A friend ball wouldn't go onto my belt symmetrically since I only have one pokeball pokemon. Besides, a magikarp isn't great in battle or a dark type."

Lord Death forced the ball into his son's hands despite the protest. "But a mega gyarados is both, isn't it."

The golden eyes of the reaper lit up. "Really? You'll get me a mega stone?"

"Yup, but you need a strong enough bond with this magikarp to mega evolve in the first place. A journey through Jotia should help with that."

Kid jumped onto his skateboard and made it float. "Alright, I'll join Spirit's daughter and her friend. See you in a while."

"Bye Kiddo, I love you~"

"Goodbye father," Kid said in reply. He flew off immediately afterward.

Maka woke up with a jolt as a started eevee was lightly jumping on her. "Eevee eevee eevee eev!" it said frantically.

"What?" the tired girl asked. "I can't understand you."

Tsubaki ran over to the bed Black Star fell asleep in to show how empty it was. "Eeeevee!"

Maka groaned. "That idiot ran off without a pokemon. He's going to die out there." She reached for the pokeball beside her. "Soul, let's go find Black Star." To both their surprise, the ball opened to reveal that it wasn't filled with an absol, but a note instead.

The handwriting was identical to all of the signatures Black Star forces on people, so it was no mystery what happened even before reading the letter.

"Oh, great. Black Star ran away with my pokemon."

"EEVEE!"

Maka quickly read the letter. "He wants to battle the kid we ran into yesterday to 'teach him a lesson for stealing his thunder'," Maka quoted. "I guess he thought that we wouldn't approve so he went without telling us."
Tsubaki looked close to tears. "E-Eeveeee?"

"Do you want to find them?"

Tsubaki nodded.

"Alright. Let's find them before they get themselves killed. Then I can kill them myself."

More hesitantly, Tsubaki nodded again. It jumped on Maka's head as she grabbed the rest of her things.

"The nerve of that guy!" fussed Black Star as he stomped through the town.

"Sol," Soul agreed following the young assassin.

"I'll show him for upstaging me at my own show!"

Black Star ran all through the town, asking everyone if they've seen a kid with black and white striped hair and nobody had. The kid was a complete mystery. He even went as far as to go back to Stein, but got nothing. Grumbling, the assassin and atrocious pokemon made it back to the center of the city.

"WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHOW YOURSELF ALREADY YOU COWARD!" Black Star yelled into the sky.

"SOOL!" howled the afterward.

Little did they know that Kid was flying near where they were and heard their cries. Recognizing the voice, the reaper flew closer and confirmed his suspicions. "What are you talking to?" asked Kid.

Black Star and Sol whipped around to see the person they were looking for flying on a skateboard above them. "I'm talking to you! How dare you make it seem like you fainted that pokemon when it was clearly me! And then call me blue hair! My name's Black Star, and you're going to be hearing that name a lot more after I become the champion!"

"Black Star… and that absol's trainer's name is Maka, isn't it? My dad wants me to join you two."

"Sol!" Soul scoffed

Black Star laughed. "As if! You just want to steal my fame. Not a chance. What you can do is get off of that flying thing and battle us! We'll show you how great of battlers we really are!"

The absol beside him nodded and got into a battle stance. "Sol sol."

Kid closed his eyes in concentration then opened them up again. After seeing their levels, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"WHAT'S SO FUNNY!"

"SOL!"

"I'm not going to battle you. If you could direct me to Maka instead, that would be much appreciated."

Black Star was seething anger. "Oh yeah, you're just a chicken! Scared of my god-like power!" To demonstrate some of that 'god-like' power, he dynamic punched the floor, cracking it all around where his fist hit. The sight made Kid nearly fall off of his board.

"W-why'd you do that! A perfectly good floor, a nice pattern of stone, just destroyed!"

Black Star smiled pridefully and flexed one arm. "I'm pretty strong aren't I?"

"You're a monster," Kid hissed and jumped off of his board. "Do you even know who you're fighting against? I'll take all of your trainer tokens easily! That absol is as good as fainted."

Black Star smiled even wider. "You'll be fighting both of us. Not so confident now, are ya?"

Kid thought back to how the kid before him used a pokemon's move easily. To the assassin's surprise, Kid actually smiled at the thought of a double battle. "I'm more confident now actually. Liz, Patty, let's teach this pig a lesson."

Out of two luxury balls came a Minun and Plusle, both eager to fight.

"Miiiiiiinun!" "Plusle," they said.

"Sol sol," Soul replied. 'He stole Blair's credit for fainting that new pokemon,' thought the absol. 'Not cool. We'll show him'

"Soul, use an attack!" Black Star commanded.

"Sol."

The absol ran in to use scratch but stopped as a giant bolt of lightning landed right in front of him.

"Liz, continue thunderbolt. Patty, use helping hand," Kid said. Each pokemon did as they were told. The bolt suddenly became thicker.

"You think I'm scared of a little lightning?" Black Star Asked rhetorically. He started to use quick attack, but the agile electric minun dodged it.

"Patty, use thunderbolt too." The blue pokemon zapped the ground in front of the blue-haired boy, making him jump back.

Black Star stood still, letting the lightning stay in front of him."What, you're not going to attack?"

"Fine then, Liz, discharge."

The lightning stopped flowing from the plusle's red cheeks to be immediately replaced by more electricity. It hit both their opponents at once.

Black Star recovered quickly, blocking it for the most part. "What was that?"

Thinking that there was an opening a now damaged absol went in to scratch Liz again, but Kid moved Patty in front of its sister. "Return."

Before Soul could actually get in its attack, Patty's attack sent him flying back. "Soooooollll," it whined while grabbing where it was hit in pain.

"What was that?" asked Black Star.

"Return, it gets more powerful the bigger the bond we share. Both Liz and Patty have it, and you might want to know that we've traveled multiple regions with luxury balls. You should just give up now."

Black Star narrowed his eyes in determination. "Not a chance."

The assassin tried to use dynamic punch but missed. He got thundershock by Liz after the attempt. Soul got back in and tried hyper beam, but all three of them jumped on Kid's board and dodged it. Kid then kicked his board into Blackstar as an attack as Liz used iron tail and Patty used return on the absol.

'That jerk, he's going easy on us,' thought Black Star. "Soul, do that glowing one again!"
"Sol." Soul hyper beamed again, But Kid, Liz, and Patty all moved away just in time, the attack then directly hit Black Star. The assassin ran over to Soul.

"What'd you do that for!"

"Sol sol sol!"

Black Star used hidden power, aiming it at Soul instead of Kid by accident. "Sol sol sol soll sol!" Soul yelled at him.

"Well you attacked me first!"

"Sol sol!"

"Whatever you're saying, unless it's 'you're right', it's wrong!"

Soul sighed. "Sol. Sol sol."

Black Star's anger subsided. "What are you saying?"

The dark type took a couple of steps away from its friend. "Sol sol," it said sadly.

Black Star looked at the floor. "Yeah, this isn't working is it. I thought we'd be great together, but Maka does have some good strategies. I guess we can't fight alone."

"Sol."

Black Star looked to the dark type hopefully. "Can we still be friends?"

Soul had streams of tears running down its face "SoOoOolll!"

The assassin gained the tear flow too. "I love you too!" he said, guessing that's what Soul said. The two booked it towards each other and collided in a hug.

Their reunion was ruined by two bolts of lightning. "Whoops, my tongue slipped," Kid said shrugging.

Black Star and Soul shook it off. "Yeah right! We'll get you now!"
"Sol!"

Soul used slash, but Patty blocked it. Black Star quick attacked again which Kid tripped before it could do damage. Next, Soul used faint attack on Kid, knowing that it never misses. It didn't technically miss, but it basically did since it just grazed Kid's head. It wasn't very effective anyway. By its trainer's command, Liz iron tailed Soul into the air and onto Black Star.

"Hey, you're getting way too involved in this fight for a trainer," Black Star said.

"And your not?"

"Well, I surpass God. I can bend the rules a little bit."

Kid rolled his eyes. "You want to surpass God? I'll show you the power of a grim reaper. Liz, Patty, you ready?"

"Minun~"

"Plus."

"Good." Kid did what he did when they fought the gyrados. With both hands, both glowing crystals on his wrist were pressed. The three made the same z formation with their arms, yellow auras surrounding them.

Maka and Tsubaki make it to the battle just in time to see this. While looking through the city they heard of a fight, which Maka assumed was Black Star, and she was right.

"Eevee!" Tsunami called out to its trainer.

Maka, on the other hand, hardly cared about her friend at the moment, she was more concerned with his opponent. She could see his level and HP, which were both pretty impressive. It wasn't as good as Stiens, but it was still a little over double of Soul's. His pokemon had even higher levels, both being 31. Levels aside, the raw power the Z-move was radiating was completely new for Maka.

She watched in awe as the lightning left the two cheering pokemon in perfect unison and hit an overconfident trainer and regretful absol.

The some of small crowd that gathered to watch clapped at the excellent defeat, then dispersed. Tsubaki ignored the crowd and ran to its trainer. "Eevee! Eevee eev!" It helped him stand back up with Soul stood up on its own.

"Now that I won the fight can I join you and Maka on your pokemon journey?" Kid asked. He was dusting off and straightening out his pants so it looked like it did before the battle.

"Won?" Black Star questioned. "We're barely started." The assassin was barely standing, so Kid ignored him.

"Shut up Black Star," Maka said, then turned her attention back to Kid. "You can definitely join us if you want to. We're traveling Jotia to become pokemon masters."

"Thank you," Kid said. He moved onto fixing his shirt's barely skewed symmetry. "My name is Kid, by the way. I don't think we've officially met yet."

Maka suddenly remembered something. "If your name's Kid then Lord Death told me to tell you hi."

"Of course he did," the reaper mumbled.

"How do you and Lord Death know each other?"

Kid started fixing his hair. "Lord Death is-" he started but suddenly stopped.

Beside him, his plusle seemed to know what was happening. It sighed. "Plusle," it groaned. Liz and Patty just watched as their trainer fell over and completely fainted.

Maka stared at him in confusion while Black Star made his way over to her with the two pokemon. "W-what happened?" Maka asked.

"Minun minun min," Patty explained. With its small arm, it touched its head and fell over. "Min minun."

"Eevee?" Tsubaki asked, sounding concerned.

Patty jumped back up and moved its arm in a swirling motion left to its head. "Miiinun."

Liz nodded. "Sle."

Soul laughed.

The explanation didn't help the trainers at all, but Black Star didn't care. His laughter had more triumph Soul's. "I'm still standing but he's fainted. Who won now?"

"We should take him to Medusa. And you too. Why'd you even fight him?"

Black Star crossed his arms. "Doesn't matter. I proved my point."

Maka moved her judgmental gaze from her friend to her pokemon. "Soul, don't get into stupid fights, okay?"

Soul nodded. "Sol." With that, Maka returned him. Black Star decided that was a good idea and returned Tsubaki. Seeing the others go into their pokeballs made Liz and Patty glance at theirs, then back at their trainer.

"Plusle."

"Minun." Patty put its face onto Kid's and shocked him, but it didn't do anything but frizz his hair.

As the two cheering pokemon started refixing it, Maka noticed why he fainted. "Oh, I see. Some of his hair looks like it got cut. That made him fall over, didn't it?"

Liz and Patty gave noises of confirmation.

"Why would that matter?" Black Star asked.

"Look at his pokeballs. Usually, people who actually catch more than one pokemon put them one after another, but his seem to be in a more complex pattern. They're symmetrical. And he fixed his clothing even if they weren't very different at all. Besides, Plusle and Minun are known as the most symmetrical pair. The only thing strange are those stripes he has."

Liz and Patty started dragging their trainer, reminding Maka about the plan to go to the pokemon center.

"We should probably help them."

"Yeah."

Black Star came out from the back of the pokecenter with a pokeball and note in his hand. He and the absol in the ball were completely healed from their recent fight. The assassin handed the two items to Maka.

"What's this?" she asked, opening the note.

"It's from Lord Death," he answered.

"It says to call him."

"Didn't you just do that?"

Maka called him anyway.

It wasn't long until a jubilant, black, familiar figure was on the mirror before them.

"Hey there!"

"Hi Lord Death," greeted Maka. "You know the trainer named Kid, right?" The reaper nodded. "He's joining us on his journey."

"That's great!" Lord Death said. Black Star mumbled sure it is under his breath, which the reaper ignored. "I think it'll be good for all of you."

"How do you know Kid anyway. He never got to tell me. Did he go to your school too?"

In the back of the pokecenter, Medusa was cutting some of Kid's hair so it was symmetrical again. Thoughts like why does he even care about symmetry so much, where have I see those stripes before, and isn't he a little young to have Z crystals crossed her mind as she cut, but she didn't care too much about the answers, except for one. The nurse finished and just stared at the white parts of Kid's hair. It was on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't quite place what they were. Touching them crossed her mind, to find what they were made of. It felt like the rest of his hair, which felt a lot coarser than it looked.

With his bangs once again symmetrical, Medusa's light touch was enough to wake him up. "What are you doing?" he asked.

The nurse quickly moved her hands away. She also recognized his now open yellow eyes from somewhere. "Oh, nothing. It's just that your hair is really something. How'd you get it like that?"

"I was born with it. Dad says that they aren't horrible asymmetrical nuisances, but I thoroughly disagree."

Born with it? thought Medusa. "Who's your dad?"

Before Kid could answer a loud "WHAT! HE'S YOUR SON!" was heard from the front of the center. The two, startled by the noise, ran to the front. They saw Black Star looking even more proud of himself and Maka looking in disbelief at Lord Death. "I never even knew you had a son!" she said

"I didn't tell many people so Team Salem and the Kishin Klan won't try and get him when he was younger, but now he's such a big strong trainer that can defend himself."

"Dad, stop it," Kid said.

Black Star's confidence was through the roof. "I beat a death god! I'm surpassing God himself Gym leader should fear me!"

All four people started talking over each other at once, none of their words were very clear. Medusa stood quietly, not trying to understand any of them. Lord Death's son she thought. Imagine all the things I could do with his shinigami blood. Returning to the back, Medusa made a call.

After a while, all of the overlapping talking died down. Nobody noticed the nurses absence.

By the time she returned, the three kids had all their pokemon out. Kid was doing tests on Maka and Black Star's pokemon for his pokedex while Maka and Black Star were getting acquainted with all four of Kid's.

"You know, Expiry City is the closest place with a gym. It's just east of here," she said. "I think it's a poison type."

Kid looked up from his pokedex. "That's perfect, it goes right through Loss Town."

"Why is that perfect?" Maka asked.

"My dad wants me to go there. I'm sure he's already helped gyarados's soul pass on, but still."

"Whatever," said Black Star. "Whether we stop at this other town or not we should still get going. We won't get our next badge standing around."

"Right. Bye nurse Medusa," Maka said

Medusa waved goodbye. "So long children." She looked at Kid directly. "I hope I see you soon."

Kid and Black Star also gave quick goodbyes before all three of them returned their pokemon and left.

Route 42 led them out of the city and towards their next destination. The three trainers walked together in silence. Black Star still didn't like how Maka just let Kid into their group after he dared to upstage him. Kid was too busy listening to the sounds of the wild pokemon around him to talk. He almost always flew over routes instead of actually walking through them, so this was a fairly new experience. Maka just didn't talk since she wasn't being talked to and both of her partners looked distracted.

The three were so distracted that they didn't notice the circle of slightly different colored dirt that they walked over. Instantly the dirt caved under their weight and the three plummeted into a daily deep hole where a net was immediately trapping them.

"What's going on?" Maka asked.

She was answered with medical laughter.

"Prepare for annihilation!"

"And double the assassination!"

"To exploit the evil of mischief and madness."

"To spread distraction, no matter how tragic."

"Eureka!"

"Free!"

"Team Salem flies as fast as a broom."

"Surrender now or face your doom."

"Rattata."

Kid glared at the two people now standing over them. The rattata stood on the female's shoulders. "Team Salem members, what do you think you're doing?"

Eruka smiled evilly at him. "Getting revenge."

"And getting a grim reaper too," Free added.

"Didn't you learn your lesson last time," Black Star yelled at them.

"Nope," they said in unison. The two threw up pokeballs revealing an infernolf and poliwag.

"Infernolf, ember those brats."

"Johnson, garb the reaper and bring him up here."

The pokemon made noises of affirmation and enacted each command. The net made it hard for the kids to reach their pokeballs, so they were entirely susceptible to the attacks. The ember burnt the trainers, but also the net, destroying it. While now they were net free, they were still burnt and in a hole.

The poliwag jumped into the hole, grabbed kid with its tail, and jumped out in such a little time that they hardly noticed it happened.

Maka and Black Star didn't care that Kid was outside of the hole. They grabbed their pokeballs and released Blair and Tsubaki. The cat made Johnson's eyes become hearts again, giving Kid an opportunity to break from its grasp. "Okay, Liz, Patty, Murkr-" he started to say, but Eruka clapped her hand over his mouth before he could finish. Free stole the three balls from around the reaper's waist before he could reach them.

"Nice try, but we won't let you attack us that easily," Free said. A shadow ball came from the hole. But it broke before reaching them since it was so deep. "You two too. As long as you're in there, your attacks won't be able to make it out."

Kid bit the hand over his mouth, making Eruka let go of him and hold her hand in pain."Liz, Patty, Murkrow, let's go," he said. The luxury and poke balls shook violently in Free's large hand, but they couldn't open his closed grip.

"Got any other plans?" Free asked.

Kid thought for half a second. "Magikarp, I choose you."

"Magikarp?" Free and Eruka asked in unison. Despite being locked up for centuries, even Free knew how pathetic and useless a Magikarp is.

"Ratat. Rat?" Mizune questioned.

From Kid's backpack came a red light and a Magikarp appeared in front of him. "Magikarp, do a super duper splash."

"Mag." it said. It started flailing rapidly. The Team Salem members watched the fish intrigue as Kid ran past them. He went over to the hole to see Black Star trying and failing to jump out and Maka trying and also failing to get Blair back out of its pokeball after it gave up. The grim reaper dig in his backpack, pulled out his skateboard, then turned it into its flying form and dropped it in the hole. It hovered a steps length above the floor. Kid was about to say something, but before he could Infernolf tackled him away from the hole.

"Infernolf," it growled, its mouth foaming with fire.

Eurika had Mizune jump off of her shoulder. "You're right, this is too important. Mizune, take care of the magikarp. We'll get the reaper."

"Tat," Mizune agreed. It did as it was told.

"Infernolf, infernoweb!" Free said.

"Olf!" Infernolf jumped off of Kid and send a web of fire over him, trapping him.

By then, Maka had made it out of the hole, using the board as a trampoline. Black Star wasn't far behind. She re-released her skitty and had it use disarming voice Infernolf. Tsubaki, at its trainer's command, became a vaporeon and used aurora beam on the tadpole pokemon. It wasn't very effective.

"Attack the fire type with your water moves," Maka told him.

"I was just about to do that. Tsubaki, dive!"

Tsubaki did just that as Blair used facade on the rattata.

When the dive landed, the infernolf looked like it was hurt by the attack. Free ran to aid his only pokemon, dropping Kid's pokeballs in the process. The three opened and three angry pokemon popped out. "Plusle!" "Minun!" "Murkrow!" they yelled before immediately attacking. Liz thunderbolted Johnson, landed a critical hit, and fainted it, while Murkrow used peck on Mizune and Patty used follow me. Mizune tried to counter by attacking Patty with a super fang, but it missed. Murkrow pecked the rat again as Liz used iron tail and Patty used thundershock on it. The barrage of attacks made the rattata faint too. Infernolf wasn't far behind with its fainting since it was down after a shadow ball and surf.

Team Salem returned their fainted pokemon. "That's unfair, you guys are using too many pokemon!" Eruka cried.

"You're evil, you don't get to play by the rules," Black Star said.

"Whatever, as long as we have the reaper boy our boss should-" Eruka stopped when she saw said reaper boy out of the fire net, seemingly barely affected by the attacks he was given before. Although now he was covered in water.

"Your soul will be mine," Kid hissed. "Return, return, peck, tackle!" All four of his pokemon were barrelling towards the two. In desperation, Eruka threw down a frog-like smoke bomb. Thick clouds of smoke covered everything; when it dissipated they were gone. "Murkrow, fly up and find them," Kid commanded.

"Krow." The darkness pokemon took to the skies.

Maka and Black Star returned their pokemon as Kid returned his magikarp, since it was nearly fainted. Liz and Patty stayed out though. "Kid, are you okay?" Maka asked.

"I'm fine," he said and jumped into the hole. He came right back out on his skateboard. "What about you two?"

"I'm fine. A hole like that can't hurt a star like me," Black Star said.

"We're fine too," Maka said, holding Blair's ball. "You and your pokemon took all the hits." Kid put his skateboard back into his pack and pulled a towel out from it. He didn't reply. "That skateboard thing was pretty smart."

"Thanks," he said. "You're a pretty good attacker." He turned his words toward Black Star. "and thanks for putting out the flames."

"Don't mention it," the assassin said. "And you can travel with us as long as you want to. Clearly, you need a strong pair of trainers to keep you safe. We can do that easily."

"I don't-" Kid started. He stopped when is murkrow returned. It dropped three trainer tokens on the ground. "Did you find them?" Kid asked.

Murkrow shook its head. "Krow."

"Really? Then how did you find these?"

"Krow, Murkrow row."

Kid sighed. "Alight," he said and returned his flying type. A trainer token, baring the same design as the ones as before, was tossed to each of the other trainers with the third going into his backpack. Kid started walking while still drying off his clothes. "We could probably make it to Loss Town before dark if we leave now."

Black Star was following him. "Let's go."

Maka joined them too. They were off to Loss Town as a team.

A/N: If you ask Black Star, I bet you'd find out that even enemies could become friends. Now that the three trainers are traveling together, who can tell what excitement lays before them now. I guess we'll just have to find out as the journey continues!
