Hello there, dudes! I hope y'all are having a good day today. Of course imma keep working on the story, because I think it's really good. Be sure to check out my other stories, and don't be afraid to check it out or leave a review!
I hope you enjoy! :D
I see the next route ahead of me. This is where we'll be going next. Of course, I would like to see Sonic get his badge first. I wonder how things might turn out?
Considering that he won against a very mean guy who claims that he's strong, I'm pretty sure Sonic will be able to defeat the Gym Leader.
We entered the building, and it's the same as usual.
"I already told you that I defeated all the trainers here." Sonic said.
"Yeah, you did tell me that." I replied. Yes, he might've defeated the trainers, but... BUT! He'll still have to prove how well he can dance.
"You still gotta do the puzzles, my guy." I said.
"Oh, good idea." Sonic responded. The first one was easy like before, as Sonic just went across on each row. As much as I would like to help Sonic on the pattern for the 2nd row, I decided to let him try first.
Eventually, he does. Not bad, Sonic. Once that is done, we saw the Gym Leader again, still playing his awesome dubstep music.
"I'm sure your friend here wants to challenge me as well?" Chad asked me.
"Indeed." I replied.
"Your other friend put up a good challenge, so I wonder what awaits this guy." Chad said.
"Well, you're about to find out." Sonic said with a smirk.
"Get ready for another drop! This battle begins now!" Chad exclaimed.
-If you don't wanna go through another view of the gym battle, I suggest skip this part unless you want to see how Sonic defeats the leader-
I sat on the bleachers by the huge battlefield.
"Come on, Sonic! You can do it!" I cheered. Let's see how my best friend can do this.
"All of you know the rules here. Battle begin!" The referee shouted.
"Come on out, Shinx!" Chad shouted, sending out his first Pokémon. Yeah, this guy wasn't much of a problem, but I know Pikachu is.
"Go, Rockruff!" Sonic shouted, sending out his first Pokémon. As some time went on, I see that Sonic looked a bit nervous. Understandable. He must be still recovering from the harsh words that Kevin said to him.
But seriously. I still can't believe that Rockruff was once one of Kevin's Pokémon! This Kevin guy is not really nice. Come on, Sonic! Get a hold of yourself!
"Listen, Rockruff... we have to become stronger. We need to show Kevin what we are truly capable of." Sonic said as he bends his knees to make eye contact with the dog.
"Ruff Ruff!" Rockruff barked.
"I'm glad you understand. Now let's get our Gym Badge!" Sonic shouted in a determined voice. Now that's how I want to see this! Go Sonic!
"Start off with Rock Throw!" Sonic yelled. Rockruff sends out a bunch of small rocks, then throws them at Shinx.
"Okay, charge up!" Chad exclaimed. Shinx begins charging up power, raising its special defense in the process.
"Rockruff, use Tackle!" Sonic shouted. Rockruff begins to run at Shinx.
"Charge Beam!" Chad screamed. Shinx shoots out a large electric beam. Rockruff noticed it and barely dodged.
"Yikes! This is gonna be a toughie." I said to myself. It's true, Charge Beam raises the Pokémon's Special Attack once in a while.
"Don't give up just yet, Rockruff!" Sonic exclaimed. Luckily, the dog Pokémon barks loudly, telling its trainer that's it's okay.
"Shinx, use Tackle!" Chad commanded. Shinx runs the fastest it can.
"Counter with Sand Attack!" Sonic shouted. Before Shinx could land its move, Rockruff dusts up a cloud of sand and throws it right at Shinx's face, making the Pokémon not see what's going on.
"Now use Bite!" Sonic yelled. Rockruff proceeds to bite Shinx, with the electric tiger running around, trying to gets its victim off.
"Come on, Shinx!" Chad exclaimed. Eventually, Rockruff let's go so it can finish the attack.
"Now use Rock Throw!" Sonic shouted. Rockruff throws a bunch of the small rocks right at Shinx. And there we go, it's already over. Good job, Sonic.
"Shinx is unable to battle! Rockruff is the winner!" The referee yelled, pointing at Sonic's side of the field.
"Yes! Good job!" Sonic complimented. Rockruff barks happily at the statement.
"It's not over yet, though. You still gotta get past my last Pokémon." Chad said with a smirk.
"Yeah, I know. I just needed some cheer from my partners." Sonic said.
"Well, here we go. Pikachu, Go!" Chad shouted, sending out his last Pokémon. I had a bit of trouble from this guy, but I believe Sonic can do this. He's pretty strong as well.
"Be careful, Sonic! That Pikachu ain't to be taken lightly, just to let you know!" I warned. I'm sorry, I had to tell him that this will be tough.
"I'll try, Nifty! We will do this!" Sonic exclaimed. Good luck. I wish him the best. Sonic nods at his Rockruff, and the small Pokémon nods back.
"Rockruff, use Tackle!" Sonic shouted.
"Use Thunder Wave!" Chad yelled. Before Rockruff could land its attack, it quickly used Thunder Wave to paralyze its opponent.
"Oh no!" Sonic exclaimed with a worried tone.
"Don't give up just yet." I mumbled. He can do this, I just know it. If I can do it, he can as well.
"Now, use Charge Beam!" Chad shouted. Pikachu shoots out a large yellow beam at Rockruff, but the dog couldn't do anything to counter it due to it being paralyzed.
"Okay then... use Rock Throw!" Sonic yelled. Luckily, Rockruff manages to form a bunch of small rocks and not get disturbed by the paralysis.
"Use Quick Attack to dodge all of them!" Chad commanded. At really fast speed, Pikachu dodges all the incoming rocks.
"Now use Charge Beam one more time!" Chad exclaimed.
"Dodge it, Rockruff!" Sonic shouted. But it was too late. Rockruff already got hit by the attack. Luckily, it didn't faint, but it struggled to get up. Paralysis and all that...
"Rockruff, return!" Sonic yelled, then returns the dog to its Poke Ball.
"Looks like the challenger is switching Pokémon. I wonder who will come next?" The instructor said.
"Go, Quilladin!" Sonic exclaimed, sending out his next Pokémon. It seemed like a good idea to switch anyway.
"Alright that's perfect. Grass types resist Electric type moves." I said. But now the true question remains: how they will be ABLE to do this.
"Start with a good ol' Vine Whip!" Sonic shouted. Quilladin sends the two vines and starts whipping away.
"Hang in there, Pikachu! Now use Quick Attack!" Chad yelled. Pikachu runs in fast speed.
"Counter with Rollout!" Sonic exclaimed. Quilladin curls into a ball and rolls continuously, running into Pikachu on the way. Both attacks do collision, but both of them didn't take any damage from either attack.
"We will end this here! Use Bite!" Sonic shouted. Quilladin runs once again.
"Charge Beam!" Chad commanded. Unfortunately, Quilladin wasn't fast enough to try and dodge the incoming attack. Pikachu's Special Attack gets raised in the process due to the move landing.
"Come on, Quilladin! We can do this!" Sonic exclaimed. This caused Quilladin to get determined from this, and then it starts running again, but using a different move this time. As the Pokémon gets closer to its opponent, one of its arms turns a bit spiky and runs right into it. Woah! Looks like Quilladin already learned a new move.
"Oh my gosh! What was that?" Sonic asked.
"That was Needle Arm! It's a pretty good Grass type move that can cause flinching!" I replied. What can I say? I studied Pokémon A LOT.
"Ooh, we can use this move to our advantage!" Sonic said.
"Good idea. Keep it up, Sonic!" I responded.
"New moves won't go too far. Pikachu, use Thunder Wave!" Chad yelled. And Pikachu sends out the electric attack again.
"Quick, counter with Rollout!" Sonic shouted. Luckily, Quilladin blocks the attack with its equally fast speed.
"Now, go get em!" Sonic continued. Quilladin rolls the fastest it can.
"Quick Attack!" Chad shouted. Pikachu also runs fast, ready to counter the attack again like before. But it actually doesn't happen because...
"Jump!" Sonic screamed. Quilladin jumps up in the air, avoiding the attack.
"Now, use Needle Arm one more time!" Sonic yelled. From the air, the spiny armor Pokémon makes one of its arms become pretty spiky, and drops down right into Pikachu, nailing the hit in the process.
"Pikachu is unable to battle! Quilladin is the winner, and that means the victory of this battle goes to Sonic!" The referee shouted.
"Yay! We did it!" Sonic cheered.
"Quill!" Quilladin shouts happily.
"Congratulations, Sonic. That was a pretty good battle. You sure know how to keep those dance moves in place." Chad complimented.
"Thanks." Sonic said.
"With that being said, I now present to you the Arc Badge." Chad said, giving Sonic the badge.
"Wow, it looks cool!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Just like before with your friend, Nifty, I'll give you the TM for the move Charge Beam." Chad continued, giving Sonic the TM as well.
"That was a good battle. Thanks, Chad." Sonic said.
"See ya next time, dude!" Chad exclaimed, and then walks back to his DJ table to continue playing his dubstep music.
I walk over to my friend with a smile on my face.
"Good job, Sonic. You did great." I complimented.
"I appreciate it, Nifty. Let's go ahead and continue our adventure." Sonic suggested. I nodded in agreement, and we made our way out of the gym.
Back at Silvent City. Once again, I look at the route we're going to next. Now we're actually making our way there. If we're gonna save my parents, we're gonna have to do it fast. Who knows what Team Eclipse might be doing to them? Something bad, that's what.
As we make our way to Route 4, we see a tree in our way to prevent us from moving forward. By it, we a lumberjack with a crown in the form of antlers.
"Hiya." I greeted.
"Oh, the life of a lumberjack. Hacking away at trees for days, with your trusty axe." He said to himself. This lumberjack must've been daydreaming since he wasn't answering my greet. Great...
"Pokémon can also cut down the smaller trees if you teach them the move Cut!" The lumberjack continued. Okay, he wasn't daydreaming. Still, it's rude to not say hello back when someone greets you.
"That seems interesting." I said, since it's my only answer.
"You'll need the badge from the Silvent City in order to use Cut outside of battle, but here's the HM so that you can teach it to your Pokémon!" The guy said, giving Sonic and I the HM.
"Nice. This'll come in handy!" I complimented.
"Be careful when teaching HMs to Pokémon," The lumberjack warned, "A Pokémon cannot forget an HM move unless brought to a specific person, known as the Move Deleter."
"Yeah, I'll be aware." I said with a smug look on my face. I sent out all of my Pokémon so far, and then I pull out the HM.
I also pull out my Pokédex to see who exactly can learn it. And I looked at who is able to. Wow! It turns out all three of my Pokémon can learn that move!
"Charmander, would you like to learn this move? With sharp claws like yours, I bet you'd me awesome with this move." I said to one of my buddies.
"Char, char!" My Pokémon exclaimed. Looks like it does.
"Okay then!" I said. I put the HM on its hand, it then it automatically learned the move, removing another in the process.
"Now, Charmander... use Cut on that small tree!" I command. Charmander's claws get more sharp, and it cuts down the tree, revealing a pathway for us to move on.
"Let's go." I said to my friend.
"Okay." Sonic replied. We all walk along Route 4, and all there is to this place is tall grass. THAT IT. After some walking, we enter the place where the next route is.
Route 5. Well, at least this place looks much longer.
"Ooh, this place looks nice!" Sonic complimented.
"Word." I said. As we begin to walk, someone stopped us.
"Hey, wait up!" The voice shouted. I see a person run to us from behind. His clothing consists of a blue long sleeve shirt, and long, white pants and gray shoes. He also has some kind of crown with wings, and has an excited look on his face that creeps me out for some reason...
"You look like you love running, am I right?" The guy asked.
"Sure." I replied.
"I suppose so." Sonic said.
"Me too!" The excited dude exclaimed, "I just ran for 024035103:56..."
"TMI!" I yelled.
"I actually have 2 extra pairs of Running Shoes!" The weird guy said.
"Ooh, that's cool!" Sonic complimented.
"Here, I want you two to have them." The guy said, then gives Sonic and I a pair of running shoes. This is perfect! I do jog once in a while.
"Try and keep up with me!" The guy with the wing crown bragged, and then takes off.
"Challenge accepted!" I shouted with a smirk, and then I immediately follow him. Somehow, a second after I run, I see this dude get caught in a cage out of nowhere.
"Not again!" He shouted. Then, he just disappears. WHAT?! I'm not even gonna ask about that...
"Well that was weird." I said. My Pokémon also look at the scene, beyond confused as well.
"Don't worry about it." I said to my partners. They all nod. Let's just get to the point.
"Come on, Sonic. Let's go." I called out.
"I'm coming, Nifty!" Sonic exclaimed. He caught up with me using the new Running Shoes we got from this disappearing guy.
As we walk along he Route, we see a trainer up ahead.
"Sonic. Would you like to do the honors?" I ask with a smirk.
"Sure thing." Sonic replied. He walks up to the trainer, and me and my Pokémon just watch.
"I've always admired the beauty of the savannah! My Pokémon here are so diverse too. Let me show you." The hiker said.
"Okay." Sonic replied.
And here we go, another battle.
"Go, Patrat!" The trainer shouted, sending out his first Pokémon. Okay, not really the best start, but okay.
"Go Quilladin!" Sonic yelled, sending out his Pokémon. Of course Sonic. I bet the opponent doesn't stand a chance.
"Alright, use Rollout!" Sonic commanded. Quilladin rolls into a ball and rolls at insane speed.
"Bide." The hiker said. Patrat turns a bit red as it blocks the attack. It still took some damage, but it doesn't look like it gave up on that.
Patrat still stores up some energy.
"Okay, now use Tackle!" Sonic shouted. Quilladin rams right into Patrat. But it still took the hit.
"Now, unleash!" The opponent yelled. Patrat runs at Quilladin, and it ends up landing the hit, doing an INSANE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE! HOLY CRAP!
"Hang in there, Quilladin! Use Bite!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Use Bide." The trainer said. Again, Patrat takes the hit. Oh come on.
"I got a plan." Sonic whispered to the spiny armor Pokémon.
Patrat stores up energy.
"Wait for it..." Sonic said quietly.
"UNLEASH!" The hiker yelled. Patrat runs with insane power again.
"Dodge it!" Sonic screamed. Barely, Quilladin dodges the attack.
"Now use Needle Arm!" Sonic shouted. Quilladin rams Patrat with its spiky arm, and it's done for. The opposing trainer returns its first Pokémon.
"Go Litleo!" He shouted, sending out his last Pokémon. He only has two for a first trainer on this route.
"Quilladin, return." Sonic said. Quilladin nods and walks back to its trainer's side.
"Rockruff, it's up to you!" Sonic yelled, sending out his other Pokémon. This oughta be easy. Rockruff has the advantage.
"Rock Throw!" Sonic exclaimed. Rockruff sends a bunch of rocks coming, and it already almost takes it down.
"Use Tackle!" The trainer shouted.
"Counter with Sand Attack!" Sonic commanded. Once again, Rockruff counters the incoming attack with the power of sand.
"Now use Bite!" Sonic screamed. And that one move, Litleo is down.
"Your Pokémon are quite powerful. I wasn't expecting that." The hiker complimented.
"Well, I'd say that was a good battle. You're getting good at this, Sonic." I said.
"Thanks, Nifty." Sonic replied. Moving on. Immediately in front of the trainer, we see a pond. And out of surprise, we see a Pokémon looking at us. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell if it was looking at me or Sonic.
"Look!" My friend exclaimed, pointing at it. This Pokémon turned out to be a blue sea lion with a pink, round nose.
"Oh, that's a Popplio!" I said. The sea lion began to smile as it ran to Sonic. Well, now we know who she, yes SHE, was looking at.
Popplio walked back into the pond, not for running away, but it seemed like it wanted to show us something.
"Let's take a look." Sonic suggested. I shrugged, since I really have no other choice. Plus, I want to see how this goes. So, I send out all of my Pokémon and Sonic does the same, and we just take a look at what will happen next. As we look at the pond, Popplio dives under the water and jumps back up, doing 3 front flips in a row. When Popplio lands, it bows,
"Wow, that was cool!" Sonic exclaimed.
"You deserve some credit." I added. Popplio barks happily, especially for Sonic. Looks like it wants to travel with him.
Popplio runs over to Sonic and looks at him. Meanwhile, Quilladin looks at its trainer happily and high fives him. After all, they won the gym battle together. Popplio looked at that scene and started to get angry. The sea lion tackles Quilladin out of the way, and then looks at Sonic with an innocent smile.
"Based on what I just saw, I have some good news and bad news," I explained, "The good news is that Popplio wants to come with you on your journey. The bad news is... it might seem jealous of your Quilladin."
"Oh, okay." Sonic replied. As he stared at Popplio, the Pokémon jumps around him, wanting to come with him.
"Hold still." Sonic said as he pulled out a Poke Ball. Popplio stops once that sentence was said.
"Go Poke Ball!" Sonic exclaimed as he threw the ball at Popplio, then it gets sucked into it. The ball lands on the ground.
One...
Two...
Three...
Click!
And there we go. It's already done.
"Alright! I caught a Popplio!" Sonic shouted, and just like always, holds the Poke Ball in the air.
"Congrats, dude. Be sure you can test it in battle." I suggested.
"Why not?" Sonic said with a shrug. As we keep moving forward, we encounter another male camper.
"Hey, do you fight fair? I want to find out." He asks me.
"Allow me to show you the answer in a battle." I replied.
Welp, here we go again.
"Go, Nidoran!" My opponent shouted, sending out his Pokémon. The Nidoran is male, so nothing too much to worry about.
"Alright, Charmander, it's up to you!" I yelled, sending out my fire type.
"Ember!" I command. Like always. I have to start this battle with a good ol fire attack.
"Okay, use Peck!" The camper shouted.
"Smokescreen!" I yelled. Before Nidoran can land the attack, Charmander counters it with Smokescreen. I'll need more variety, I swear...
"Okay, Charmander, let's—" I started, but I stopped once I saw Charmander glowing. Alright, it's evolving!
After the whole evolution process happens, my newly evolved Pokémon comes. It grew bigger, and gained a more reddish color for its skin. It has a horn and a longer tail, but still the fire on the tip of its tail.
Charmeleon. Tis awesome.
"Alright! You evolved!" I exclaimed with a smile. Charmeleon looks at me with a smile and gives me a thumbs up.
"Hey, this fight ain't over!" My opponent whined. Thanks for ruining the moment...
"You're right, it isn't." I said. I look at my Pokédex, and... WOAH! It learned 2 new moves!
"Double Kick!" The male trainer shouted.
"Jump high into the air with Metal Claw!" I commanded. Before Nidoran lands the attack again, Charmeleon uses one of its new moves. He digs his gray metal claws onto the ground, and then releases them to end up high in the air.
"Finish this with Dragon Rage!" I screamed. Charmeleon sends a giant black cloud mixed with some blue from its mouth, and I can tell this match is already over. After the attack lands, Nidoran is down.
"Did you cheat? How can I trust you?" The camper asks in a suspicious tone. Hey, alls fair in a Pokémon battle.
"Evolution sure is amazing." Sonic complimented.
"Of course it is! After all, Pokémon grow much more stronger with their evolutions." I said. This Route is huge I must say. Looks like we got a long way to go.
The tall grass here is patched in a huge circle every time we see one, but it's not like I mind. I encounter a female trainer this time, so I'll battle again.
"This giant rock reminds me of something... I can't quite figure out what. Maybe a battle will help me think better." She said. She's right, though, there's a huge rock behind us.
"Okay, let's do it." I replied.
"Come on out, Litleo!" The female picnicker shouted, sending out her Pokémon. This is literally the only one she has.
"Go, Nidoran!" I yelled, sending out my Pokémon. Since Litleo is a Normal and Fire type, one of my moves will be super effective.
"Double Kick!" I exclaimed.
"Counter with Tackle!" The girl yelled. Both attacks made collision. No damage. I have to say, nice job on the countering.
"Hang in there and use Poison Sting!" I shouted.
"Use Ember!" The female shouted. Once again, both attacks collide, leaving a cloud of smoke from it.
"Okay, that's good and all." I complimented.
"Nido..." I could hear my Nidoran get a little frustrated.
"Don't give up yet, Nidoran! We can still do this!" I said.
"NIDOOOOOO!" The Poison Pin Pokémon screamed, and then it glows. Holy moly, two evolution throughout 2 battles?! Crap, I am on a roll!
My new partner grows much more bigger, has more patterns on its body, and its horn grows bigger as well.
Nidorino.
"Ha ha ha. What do you say we show them some immense power?" I ask. Nidorino nods.
"Now, use Double Kick!" I screamed.
"Ember!" The girl yelled.
"Dodge!" I shouted. Nidorino dodges the incoming attack, and then runs up to Litleo and lands its two kicks. Easy peasy.
"Oh, I remember now! It's like the rock in that commercial for Sawsbuck Coffee!" My opponent exclaimed. Wow, just that for a commercial.
"Okay then..." I said with a bored look on my face.
Well, I'm glad these battles show some personality from these trainers. It looks like we're not far from the next city from what I can see. We see another trainer, a black belt, up ahead of us. He notices us, like every time.
"I never let trainers pass me without testing their strength first! You two won't be any exceptions." He said. Two? Is he gonna battle both of us?
"Wait. You want to battle both of us?" Sonic asked.
"Yes. Like I said, no one passes without testing strength against me." The black belt added.
"I guess we're partnering up." I said.
"Let's go for it." Sonic replied.
Well, this is certainly a first. I'm partnering with Sonic in this battle.
"GO!" Our opponent shouted, and sent out 2 Pokémon. These two turned to be a Machop, and another of the same. 2 of the same? I'm not totally impressed, I'm sorry.
"Okay, go, Nidorino!" I shouted, and sent out my newly evolved Poison type.
"Go, Quilladin!" Sonic shouted, sending out his. Seems like a good choice, since Rockruff is weak to fighting moves.
"Use Peck!" I yelled. I don't care which of the Machop he's going for, but I don't really care since both of them ARE THE SAME! Anyways, Nidorino uses said move on the left Machop, and it's a one hit KO. Yeah, too easy.
"Quilladin, use Needle Arm!" Sonic exclaimed. Quilladin rams the right Machop with its spiky arm. That didn't do a one hit though.
"Use Karate Chop on Quilladin!" Black belt dude said. Before Machop can land the move, Nidorino runs in front of Quilladin and takes the swift hand hit, not taking much damage from it.
"Wow! Thanks, Nidorino!" Sonic said. Nidorino looks at Sonic and winks, telling its friend as a gesture for "You're welcome."
"Combo?" I asked. Sonic nods.
"Okay, Quilladin, use Rollout on Nidorino!" Sonic yelled. Quilladin gets confused by that as to ask why, but it does so anyway since it feels a plan coming along.
"Nidorino, use Peck!" I shouted. As Nidorino's horn grows much bigger, Quilladin makes it gain speed by hitting it with Rollout. The move lands, and as much as our opponent would want to quickly try and dodge it, it would be impossible considering the speed. I mean, seriously...
Ugh.
"Time to heat things up. Go, Pancham!" The karate expert shouted, sending out his last Pokémon. Crap, I'm getting some Linda vibes. This would turn out different though.
"Return, Quilladin." Sonic said, then returns his starter back into its ball.
"Now it's your turn, Popplio!" Sonic shouted, and sends out the Pokémon he just got earlier. Once Popplio came out, it started to get even more determined to focus on Sonic more.
"Hey, calm down, okay? We got a battle to do!" Sonic exclaimed.
"I think it would help if I decide to switch as well." I said, and then I return Nidorino to his ball.
"Go, Frogadier!" I yelled, and send out the starter I own. I just believe that a Water type would focus on another if any.
"Okay, let's get this over with." I said.
"Popplio, use Disarming Voice!" Sonic shouted. Perfect move. Fighting types are weak to a Fairy moves. Popplio releases a beam of purple hearts right at Pancham, doing lots of damage.
"Nice one, Sonic! Now, Frogadier, use Quick Attack!" I yelled. Speed has nothing to compete when it comes to this battle. That's one sturdy Pokémon, it's still not done for yet.
"Pancham, use Karate Chop!" Our opponent shouted. Apparently, he went for Frogadier this turn. Not much damage if I do say, but we must end this with a combo.
"Frogadier, trap Pancham with Water Pulse!" I exclaimed. Frogadier releases its giant water orb from its hand, and throws it at the opposing Pokémon. Rather than take some damage, it's prefect for a trap as well.
"Popplio, use Sing!" Sonic yelled. Popplio sings a calm but sleepy song, and Pancham couldn't escape from it even if he wanted to, due to being trapped inside Water Pulse.
Just in time, the Water Pulse disintegrates and Pancham falls onto the floor, fast asleep.
"Now, Popplio! Let's finish this with Water Gun!" Sonic shouted. And there we go. One move from that beam of water, and Pancham is done for.
"You two are worthy opponents." The black belt said.
"Namaste." I replied back. I don't even know why I said that.
Uh oh! Up ahead, there's a branch in the path. There's only 2 ways to go, and I'm not sure where either of these lead to,
"Imma suggest we go right, just to see what's there." I suggested.
"Good idea, Nifty." Sonic agreed. We head right. That's our final decision. Looks like a bug catcher trainer is up ahead. I think I'll do this. After all, I have a Fire type and a Poison type.
"A lot of bug Pokémon are known for how early they evolve. It gives trainers like me a pretty big advantage." The bug catcher says.
"We'll see about that." I said.
"Go, Butterfree!" My opponent shouted, sending out his first Pokémon. He only has 2, so it shouldn't be a problem. Bug types oughta be easy to defeat.
"You're up, Nidorino!" I shouted, sending out my Poison type.
"Use Peck!" I exclaimed. Despite this move being super effective once it landed, it did almost half damage. I'm not even mad, I can see what this guy meant.
"Use Confusion!" The bug opponent trainer yelled. Butterfree's eyes turn a light blue, and then lifts Nidorino up in the air. After Butterfree has a bit of fun and teases Nidorino by circling it with its psychic powers, it roughly throws Nidorino at a wall, ending the move.
"Don't give up just yet. Use Poison Sting!" I shouted. Nidorino sends a thick triangle of poison right at Butterfree, it does okay damage. Not bad.
"Confusion one more time!" Welp! That seemed enough. Luckily, I have a plan. Butterfree once again lifts Nidorino, and doesn't have much fun, so it just throws him to a wall.
"Quick, use Double Kick!" I screamed. Nidorino hits the wall with its two feet, and launches itself right at Butterfree.
"Finish this with Peck!" I yelled. And that was enough. Butterfree is down.
"Dang. Go Beedrill!" My opponent yelled, returning his first Pokémon and sending out his last. Yeah, I got this.
"Nidorino, return." I said, then put Nidorino back in his ball.
"Go get em, Charmeleon!" I shouted, sending out my one of my two starters.
"Dragon Rage!" I added. Bam, it's such a powerful move. Heck, Beedrill is already almost down! That was fast.
"Use Fury Attack!" Bug catcher shouted. Beedrill flies up to Charmeleon and wacky it with its spiky pointers multiple times. Not much though.
"Finish with Ember." I said bluntly. What else do I got to say? Beedrill is already done for from that move. Never compete with me that easily.
"Looks like you had the upper hand." My opponent said. Yeah, this is why you don't get expectations high.
As Sonic and I kept moving on the pathway, I see a bridge ahead of us. No, it's not the new city. But it's worth looking at. Sonic decides to go ahead of me for some reason.
"Why?" I asked.
"I see another trainer." Sonic replied. Aight, I'll let him to the honors of battling.
As Sonic passed the bridge and kept on walking, he encountered the male camper.
"I was just visiting my ancestors' graves. I get sad when I visit here. Maybe a battle will cheer me up?" He wondered.
"Let's find out." Sonic said.
"Go, Cubone!" Sonic's opponent shouted, sending out his first Pokémon.
"You got this, Quilladin!" Sonic shouted as he sent out his starter.
"Use Needle Arm!" Sonic added. Another good ol ram. Wow! A one hit KO. You didn't give him a chance. I like it!
"Okay. You're next, Marill!" The camper yelled, sending out his second Pokémon. He has 3, so it shouldn't be too bad.
"Use Needle Arm again!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Bubble Beam!" His opponent yelled. Before Quilladin can land its devastating move, Marill prevented it by shooting with its watery special attack.
"Okay, use Rollout!" Sonic shouted.
"You use Rollout as well!" The camper shouted. Before a collision could be made...
"Up in the air!" Sonic screamed. Quilladin launches itself into the air, dodging Marill's attack.
"Now, use Needle Arm!" Sonic continued. And there we go. This battle is going by fast.
"Come on out, Cubone!" Sonic's opponent yelled, sending out his last Pokémon. Remember variety? These dudes will need to learn that...
"Okay, Quilladin! We got this! Let's—" Sonic started, only to see his Popplio escape from her Pokémon. She looks at Quilladin angrily and shoves him out of the way, then gets determined as she wants to battle.
"You wanna do this one, Popplio?" Sonic asked.
"Pop!" The sea lion replied, ready for this battle,
"Okay then! Use Water Gun!" Sonic shouted. Popplio shoots out a large jet stream of water, doing lots of damage.
"Cubone, use Bone Club!" The camper shouted.
"Counter with Sing!" Sonic exclaimed. Popplio songs it's calm song, and when Cubone got near, it fell asleep. I didn't fall asleep. It's not like it affects me much.
"Now use Pound!" Sonic yelled. And there we are. What else do I need to say? This battle is over. Sonic won once again.
"Even though I lost, I feel better now." The opponent said with a relived sigh.
"I'm glad you're better now." Sonic replied. Quilladin began to argue a bit with Popplio, saying that he could've handled it. Popplio responded by saying that she wants Sonic to focus on her more. I think Popplio might be jealous...
We make our way to some kind of graveyard. And it's name? Old Graveyard. I guess this place has been here for a while.
There would be some wild Pokémon that might come out to get us sometimes. Me? I'm not scared. You would barely even see me that way.
"This place looks pretty creepy." Sonic said.
"Word." I replied. It's a graveyard. It's supposed to be a little creepy. Still, I don't want either of us to get nervous.
I have an idea. It's been a while since I battled Sonic. Last time was at Gale Forest, when I got my necklace back from the IDIOTIC WOMAN KNOWN AS LINDA.
"Hey Sonic." I started. My friend turned to me.
"Wanna have another battle?" I asked.
"It's been a bit. Sure, why not? Let's do a single battle this time." Sonic said.
"Challenge accepted." I said with a smirk.
2nd battle against Sonic. Woo! This is gonna be cool.
"Go Popplio!" Sonic shouted, sending out his first Pokémon. Once again, Popplio gets a bit determined so she can focus for her master. Ain't that a little too much? Eh, whatever.
"Alright... go, Nidorino!" I shouted, sending out my first Pokémon. Neither of us have the advantage, but it'd be okay. Let's just see how things will turn out.
"Okay, start off with Poison Sting!" I commanded.
"Counter with Disarming Voice!" Sonic exclaimed. Both of these attacks make a collision, leaving a cloud of smoke from it.
"Very good start, Nidorino. Now use Peck!" I yelled. Nidorino runs again, horn huge, ready for attacks.
"Quick, dodge it!" Sonic shouted. Popplio does a little twirl as she swiftly dodges the attack. Well now! I'm impressed. Sonic has caught up a lot. Combos won't change anything since this isn't a double battle.
"Popplio, use Sing!" Sonic yelled.
"Oh no you don't! Nidorino, quickly! Use Double Kick!" I shouted. As Popplio begins to sing, Nidorino already hits it with its kicks. Sorry, Sonic. You gotta try harder. No singing ain't gonna stop me.
"Grr... use Pound!" Sonic exclaimed angrily. As much as I'd like to try and make my Pokémon dodge it, Popplio went a bit faster than before, mostly because it wants to impress Sonic.
"Hang in there, Nidorino! Poison Sting!" I yelled.
"Once again, use Disarming Voice!" Sonic shouted. The same thing happened before like at the beginning of this battle.
"Now use it again!" I screamed. Another Poison Sting lands this time, mostly it hit because Popplio couldn't see where it was coming from.
"Hm... use Water Gun!" Sonic yelled.
"Dodge it, and then use Peck!" I shouted. Popplio looked a bit too weak as it tried to stand up, but to no avail.
"QUICK, DODGE IT!" Sonic screamed. But it's too late. Popplio already took the hit, and she's down. Sonic walked over to his fainted partner.
"You did great, Popplio. I know you wanted to impress me." Sonic cooed. Popplio looks at her trainer with a sad face.
"I'll make sure you make up with Quilladin later on. But for now... get some rest." Sonic said, and then returns Popplio to her ball. Sonic walked back to me with a smirk.
"You're good, Nifty. It made since throughout all the battles we've been through." He said.
"I know. But it's not over yet. Let's just get back to this." I replied. Sonic pulls up another Poke Ball.
"You got it. Rockruff, go!" Sonic shouted, sending out his second Pokémon.
"Nidorino, use Double Kick!" I yelled.
"Block it with Rock Throw!" Sonic exclaimed. Countering a physical attack with a special attack I like it. News flash: it worked.
"Okay, very good. Now use Peck!" I shouted.
"Use Bite!" Sonic yelled. Both start to get near each other.
"To the right!" Sonic shouted. Rockruff quickly turns to the right and lands it's attack while avoiding my Pokémon's attack. Wow! Most impressive.
"Hang in there, Nidorino! Use Poison Sting!" I exclaimed. Nidorino manages to pull off the move after getting up from the recent attack.
"Use Sand Attack!" Sonic shouted. Rockruff dusts it's sand cloud right at the opposite move, and then quickly dodges. The reason? Not too sure, but I think it's for slowing it down.
"Come on, Nidorino! What do you say we try and finish this one?" I ask. Nidorino nods.
"Rockruff, use Tackle!" Sonic yelled.
"Nidorino, use Double Kick!" I screamed. Once again, they get near each other.
"Now, Rockruff! JUMP!" Sonic screamed. Rockruff avoids the attack by jumping high into the air.
"Finish this with Rock Throw!" Sonic exclaimed. As much as I would make a last minute shout and tell my Pokémon to dodge the attack, well...
it's a bit too late for that. Nidorino is already done for. I got to say, I'm not really mad. I'm proud.
"Good job, Nidorino. We'll move on from here." I said as I returned my Poison type to his ball.
"It's up to you, Charmeleon!" I shouted, sending out my second Pokémon. Yes, I might have the disadvantage, but Charmeleon just learned Metal Claw earlier. Surely that counts for something, right?
"Start with Metal Claw!" I commanded. Charmeleon's claws turn a metallic gray and runs to Rockruff.
"Sand Attack!" Sonic shouted. Don't think I don't know about that strategy.
"Quick, dodge and then land the attack!" I yelled. Charmeleon dodges the sand and then slashes Rockruff with its claws. Super effective, holy crap! Let's see how things go from here.
"Grr... Rockruff, use Bite!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Counter with Ember!" I shouted. As Rockruff runs up to use its move, Charmeleon sends its usual small flame, but since it just evolved, the flame got a little bigger, which would mean that it would get more powerful.
But... Rockruff dodges the flame without Sonic telling him! WHAT?! I guess he's starting to trust Sonic. That's fine, as long as the Rockruff ain't around Kevin. Anyway, back to the battle. Rockruff lands its Bite attack.
"Quick, Charmeleon! Ember one more time!" I yelled.
"No, no, no. Rockruff, use Sand Attack!" Sonic exclaimed. Before Charmeleon could even start using the move, Rockruff prevents it with more sand.
"Now, Rockruff! Use Rock Throw!" Sonic screamed. Rockruff runs back to Sonic as it prepares to use a super effective move. This is my chance!
"Charmeleon! Use Dragon Rage!" I screamed. Both the dragon cloud and circle of rocks land the attack. So, the question is... who fainted?
The answer? It was both of them. I never got through this yet. Crap, could I lose this match?
"Good job, Charmeleon. You did great out there. Get some rest." I said, then I return him to his ball.
"You did wonderful, Rockruff. You really are strong, so forget what Kevin says about you." Sonic complimented. Aw, that was nice. Rockruff looks at Sonic with a small smile before bing returned.
"This is it, Sonic. Let us see who wins this match." I said with a smirk.
"You got it!" Sonic exclaimed excitedly. Both of us are at our last Pokémon. Frogadier vs Quilladin. Once again, I have the disadvantage. But let's see how things turn out in this battle.
"Okay, Frogadier. Use Lick!" I shouted.
"Rollout!" Sonic commanded. Frogadier attempts to Lick, But Quilladin responds by rolling the fastest it can, hurting Frogadier's tongue in the process. OUCH! That's gotta leave a mark.
"Okay then. Use Water Pulse to trap him!" I yelled. Trapping right there is something Sonic wasn't ready for. Quilladin gets trapped inside the giant water orb.
"Break it apart with Quick Attack!" I exclaimed. Frogadier cuts the orb in half with its speed, doing damage from the Quick Attack AND from Water Pulse as well. Double damage, boi!
"Ooh. Quilladin, use Bite!" Sonic shouted.
"Use Lick!" I yelled. I got a plan from what I just saw from Sonic.
"Now dodge the bite!" I continued. Frogadier turns around quickly, and dodges Quilladin's attack so Frogadier Can land his move. Yes! Direct hit! Unfortunately we got no paralysis. But that's fine. Only one way to find out now, who wins this battle.
"Frogadier! Finish this with Quick Attack!" I yelled.
"Quilladin, use Needle Arm!" Sonic screamed. And boom. Both attacks collide, and smoke appears in front of the field. We look nervously on how might've won this one.
So far, both of our Pokémon seem to be alright. Quilladin stumbles, did I win again?!
Frogadier begins to fall, and it faints as it hit the ground. Nope, I didn't win. Sonic... you did awesome.
"Oh my gosh. We did it!" Sonic cheered. He ran up to his Quilladin and they begin to cheer together. I'm not even angry at all. I look at Sonic with a proud smile. I look at my Frogadier, who looks weakened. I stare at him with the same smile.
"You did great out there, Frogadier. Once we get to the next city, we'll continue our adventure from here." I said. Frogadier winks and smiles, despite being weakened from that battle. I chuckle with him, and then return my starter to his ball.
I approach Sonic, who is still cheering. Not in a bragging kind of way, definitely not.
"Good job, Sonic. Congrats on your first win against me." I said.
"Thank you, Nifty! That was an amazing battle." Sonic responded. I nod in agreement, it was a cool battle.
"Let's leave this graveyard after we heal our Pokémon." I suggested.
"Good idea." Sonic agreed. Once again, Popplio comes out of her ball and boasts a bit in front of Quilladin. Both begin to argue again, especially Popplio who claims that she is better for wanting to impress her trainer. Oh Arceus...
"Both of you did good." Sonic said with a light laugh. Both Quilladin and Popplio just look at Sonic and nod.
We are outside the graveyard. We healed our Pokémon for a bit, and it's all good.
This time, we go the other way once we reached the branch: left. I see another trainer up ahead. I guess Sonic will do the honors since he won the battle. Luckily, our Pokémon are healed so we don't have to black out and rush to the Pokémon Center.
"This way leads to Brimber City. Before you and your friend go, would you mind having a battle with me?" The male hiker asked. Sonic looks at me, and I nod at him.
"Sure." Sonic replied.
This is it. I watch this battle, and when Sonic wins (which I know will happen), we're off to the next city, which the hiker said is called Brimber City.
"Go, Geodude!" The hiker shouted, sending out his first Pokémon. The guy has 3 Pokémon. Just like Sonic. Just oughta be easy since Sonic has 2 of his 3 That has the advantage against Geodude.
"Come on out, Quilladin!" Sonic shouted, sending out his starter. Alright, here goes. Sonic is obviously gonna win this.
"Needle Arm." Sonic said bluntly. Due to Geodude's pretty low speed, it couldn't dodge the attack. So, BAM. It's a freaking OHKO.
And then, what is his next Pokémon he sends out? Another Geodude... Wow. Just wow.
"Okay, we got this, Quilladin! Let's—" Sonic started, but once again got interrupted when Popplio comes out of her ball again. She pushes Quilladin out of the way and gets ready for this battle.
"I guess Popplio might be a bit jealous of Quilladin." I said with a laugh.
"Okay then. Popplio, use Water Gun!" Sonic shouted. Geodude took a lot of damage. However, unlike the last time, Geodude survived thanks to its ability, Sturdy.
"Geodude, use Rock Throw!" The hiker yelled. Geodude forms a rock and throws it at Popplio. However, the sea lion used a new move to block it. Next thing I saw, the rock became icy and it fell to the floor. Icy Wind. Not bad.
"Ooh, 2 new moves!" Sonic exclaimed excitedly.
"Use them to finish it, Sonic!" I yelled.
"You got it! Popplio, use Aqua Jet!" Sonic shouted. Popplio surrounds itself with water and it jets towards Geodude at full speed.
"Quick, use Defense Curl!" The opponent yelled. As much as Geodude would use that to block it, it was already too late. The second Geodude is down.
"It's up to you, Hippopotas!" The hiker shouted, sending out his last Pokémon. A pure Ground type. Alright, this would be too easy for Sonic. Even for me it would be easy, because I have Frogadier. Once the hiker's Pokémon came out, it whipped up a sandstorm with its ability, Sand Stream. This might be bad. Sandstorms can sting the eyes... that is, unless the Pokémon is a Ground, Rock, or Steel type. But Sonic has neither of those.
"Popplio, use Water Gun!" Sonic shouted. Hippopotas barely dodged it simply because Popplio has a little tough time seeing due to the sandstorm.
"Use Tackle!" The hiker yelled.
"Quick, counter with Aqua Jet!" Sonic screamed. Both attacks collide, but Hippopotas falls since Aqua Jet was much stronger.
"Now, Popplio! Finish this with Icy Wind!" Sonic exclaimed. Popplio blows a white mist from its mouth, and Hippopotas gets a frozen from that, but the Ground type is already down, so no need for anything else.
"Wow, that was fast. You must be in a hurry." The hiker complimented. Not really, dude. You're probably just wondering is all.
"Not exactly, but we're on our way to the next city." Sonic said.
We made our way through the small patch of tall grass, and even under the bridge as we kept walking. Up ahead, we see the tunnel to Brimber City.
"Here we go, Sonic." I said with my usual smirk.
"Brimber City, here we come!" Sonic exclaimed. But before we can get in the tunnel and get there...
"Wait up!" A voice shouted. We turn around, and we see none other than Jake.
"I finally caught up ti you! When did you get so fast?" Jake wondered.
"Some weird kid gave us these Running Shoes, and then he disappeared after he got in a cage when he gave us the shoes." I explained. Jake looked at me confused, but then shrugged it off.
"Anyways, let's have another battle!" Jake exclaimed. Ooh, okay! I mean, I did lose against Sonic, but I'm sure I got this. Luckily, my Pokémon are healed.
"Let's do it, Jake!" I responded.
"After getting the Arc Badge, I feel like my Pokémon are a lot tougher this time!" Jake said.
"So did mine. Don't expect anything too easy, Jake." I teased.
Here we go! Second battle against Jake.
"Come on out, Eevee!" Jake shouted, sending out his starter. Just like before, I'm gonna make this a starter vs starter battle. As much as I'd like to use Nidorino since he has Double Kick, I wanted to make this battle more momentous.
"Go, Frogadier!" I shouted, sending out my starter. Both of our Pokémon look at each other with a smile. I wonder which evolution Jake would pick for his Eevee? There's a bunch of different kinds!
"Frogadier, start off with Pound!" I shouted.
"Eevee, use Swift!" Jake exclaimed. Eevee swifts its tail and sends out a bunch of stars at my Frogadier.
"Dodge!" I shouted. It was almost half a second for one dodge, Jake couldn't keep up. Of course, Frogadier lands its attack. Not much, but it did okay damage.
"WHAAAAAA?!" Jake screamed, still confused by the sudden dodge.
"I forgot to mention Frogadier got a massive speed boost when it evolved at the Silvent City gym." I said with a smirk.
"W-Well, it's time I take the initiative. Eevee, use Quick Attack!" Jake yelled.
"Counter with your Quick Attack!" I shouted. Both collide. What else- oh, you get it. None took damage from this.
"Quick Attack one more time!" I exclaimed. Frogadier is near Eevee...
"Eevee, use Baby-Doll Eyes." Jake said. Eevee gives Frogadier a cute look, and it ended up with the Quick Attack doing less damage than usual.
"Now, Eevee! Swift once again!" Jake screamed. Eevee sends its star attack again.
"Frogadier! Water Pulse!" I yelled. Frogadier counters the stars with the usual giant water orb. It was much more powerful, so Eevee taken the hit. Plus, Water Pulse is a Special Attack, so it didn't affect the damage.
Jake returns his Eevee and pulls out another Poke Ball.
"Go, Blitzle!" Jake shouted, sending out his second Pokémon. An Electric type? Jake, you do realize I just beat an Electric type gym... right? Maybe he did it for a reason, I dunno.
"Frogadier, return." I said, putting my starter back in his ball.
"Type disadvantage. I get it, Nifty." Jake teased. I don't like that. Don't count me out just yet, DUDE.
"I just wanted a little switch out, because why not?" I said.
"I can't wait to see who else you caught!" Jake exclaimed.
"Remember back at the lab?" I asked. Jake remembered tat moment, and so did I.
-flashback-
"I would like to purchase another starter, please." I said.
"Sure thing. Go ahead and pick one you also want." David replied. I ended up also picking Charmander, a fire lizard Pokémon with a little fire in the top of its tail. How can I not pick this guy as well? It was between Froakie and Charmander, I just can't pick only one! Once I picked my 2nd starter, I gave David 25 Robux, the other currency in Roria aside from Pokedollars. I go through the introduction process again, and Charmander decided to sit on my shoulder. Sonic looked a bit surprised by this.
"Heh, looks like Nifty is getting a head start on a full team." He thought.
-end flashback-
"You had a second starter!" Jake yelled.
"And now's the time to show it. Go get 'em, Charmeleon!" I shouted, sending out my other starter.
"Back to the battle. Blitzle, use Charge!" Jake exclaimed. Blitzle began charging power, raising its Special Defense.
"Okay, Charmeleon, use Metal Claw!" I shouted. Blitzle took the hit, but it didn't do much damage. I wasn't expecting much anyway.
"Blitzle, use Shock Wave!" Jake yelled. Blitzle sends out a wave of lightning bolts that circles around Blitzle and goes all out.
"Use Metal Claw to jump into the air!" I exclaimed. Charmeleon digs its metallic gray claws into the ground, and then gives himself a boost to be in the air.
"Now use Ember!" I continued. Blitzle takes the hit from the small flame. It tried to dodge, not successful.
"Grr... use Quick Attack!" Jake shouted.
"Dragon Rage." I said. As Blitzle runs to Charmeleon for a fast attack, Charmeleon blocks it with a very powerful move. Blitzle is down. No exceptions.
"Woah... I can't keep up, Nifty! You're so strong!" Jake complimented as he returns Blitzle to its ball.
"Yeah, I am. Thanks, Jake." I said.
"But I still have one more. Go, Nidoran!" Jake shouted, sending out his last Pokémon. The Nidoran is male. Not bad, but I also have another one to show you.
"Charmeleon, return." I said as I returned my second starter to his ball.
"Your last Pokémon I presume?" Jake asked.
"Indeed. Let's do this, Nidorino!" I shouted, sending out my last Pokémon. Jake got surprised, since he knew I also got a male Nidoran, and that I was the one to evolve it faster. Yeah, this ain't working out for ya, buddy.
"PECK!" Both of us shout in unison. Nidorino's was more powerful since he is the evolution. Nidoran gets hurt from the damage pretty easily. What else could be said?
"Nidoran, use Focus Energy!" Jake yelled. Nidoran gets pumped up, getting a higher chance to prevail on a move.
"Poison Sting!" I shouted.
"You use Poison Sting as well!" Jake screamed. Both attacks collide, but then before Jake could react...
"Peck once more!" I added. Nidoran couldn't see the second move coming from Nidorino, and it got hurt from it as a result.
"NOW! DOUBLE KICK!" Jake and I screamed in unison. Once again, Nidorino prevails as the alpha. Despite being a not very effective move, Nidoran is down. That was a bit easy. Still... good job, Jake.
"You're still a better trainer!" Jake complimented.
"Thanks." I said with a smile.
Both of us return our Pokémon back to their balls. We look at each other, happy about the battle we had.
"Brimber City should be just through this gate. The have a Pokémon Gym there, too." Jake said.
"Really? Well, thanks for the heads up!" I replied.
"We should also ask around and see if anyone knows anything about Team Eclipse while we're here." Jake continued. Oh yeah. Team Eclipse. The only one of these members I saw was you-know-who. I CAN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED TO SAY HER NAME ANYMORE.
"Good idea, Jake. We're gonna find my parents and bring them back." I said as I pump my fist.
"I'm gonna head over to the Pokémon Center and heal my Pokémon!" Jake said with a cheery smile. I nod.
"I was just about to do the same thing!" I responded.
"See you later!" Jake said as he waved, then proceeded to go through the tunnel to Brimber City. I smirk, and then I look at Sonic.
"You ready?" I ask.
"Let's go in, Nifty!" Sonic replied.
And now we are here. Brimber City. It doesn't look too bad. There's a giant volcano called Mt. Igneus that hasn't erupted in years, so the city is safe and most things being generated by the volcano.
"Nifty, Sonic, quick! Over here!" Jake shouted. He screamed in a worried tone. Uh oh! This doesn't sound good...
Sonic and I walked over to Jake, and we see another person as well. This person had white skin and black, spiky hair, along with wings on the side. He had a white t-shirt with a black jacket, and he also had some light blue jeans and white shoes. I wonder who this other person is?
"Who is this?" I asked.
"This is the Gym Leader of the Brimber City Gym.," Jake replied, "I just ran into him as I walked into town."
Wow! We already met up with the Gym Leader! That's pretty dang cool.
Jake turned to the Gym Leader.
"Would it be OK if we stopped by the gym later today for a challenge?" Jake asked.
"I'm sorry, but the gym is closed for right now." The Gym Leader replied. Wow. That's a shame, it really is. I needed to get stronger in order to save my parents.
"Why can we not go in?" Sonic asked.
"Earlier this morning, something terrible happened." The Gym Leader responded.
"Tell us please. We would like to know." I said.
"A group of bandits known as Team Eclipse raided my gym and stole a priceless artifact." The Brimber City Gym Leader explained. Wait, did he just say Team Eclipse? WE'RE GONNA STOP THEM.
"What exactly did they steal?" Jake asked.
"It is called the Red Orb," The Gym Leader replied, "The Red Orb has been passed down for generations in my family."
I heard about the Red Orb before! It could be used to summon a legendary Pokémon!
"A long time ago, my ancestors, when passing through this valley, found the Red Orb inside the volcano," The Brimber Gym Leader explained, "Legend has it that the Red Orb is used to awaken a sleeping Pokémon within the volcano. Supposedly, the Pokémon's power is tremendous enough to cause the volcano to erupt. I'm not much of a believer in legends, but if this were true, this entire city and half of Roria. I don't think Team Eclipse realizes that. I believe they're just after the legendary Pokémon."
"Those idiots... they're so done for..." I mumbled.
"Until I know more, it is unsafe to practice battling inside the gym." The Gym Leader finalized. Jake turned to me.
"Nifty, if Team Eclipse is nearby, maybe they'll have your parents. We have to go look for them!" He said. You don't say?
"I guess we're gonna have to go there then. Team Eclipse is gonna go down." I exclaimed.
"Team Eclipse is a dangerous group," The black-haired Gym Leader warned, "It's not wise to go after them, but I'm not going to stop you."
"Dude, I dealt with many dangerous stuff before. I encountered a Team Eclipse member and I beat her in a battle. Now I know she's going to burn in hell." I said with a teasingly evil smile. Everyone just looks at me as if they're scared.
"Sorry. Was that too much?" I asked.
"No, it's fine. Just please... let it go for now." Sonic said. I nodded, not wanting to make my friends scared of me. Jake turned to the Gym Leader again.
"Which way did they go?" Jake asked. The Gym Leader stopped and pointed at another tunnel to his right.
"They were headed towards Route 6. Route 6 leads to the entrance in the side of the volcano." He replied.
"That's good to know." Sonic said. The Gym Leader turned to me again.
"Whatever you decide to do, please be careful." He told me.
"You got it, homie." I said with a wink.
"Before I do anything, I'm gonna get my Pokémon healed." Jake said with a sheepish laugh.
"Yeah, you do that." I said.
"Nifty, Sonic, you two go ahead and try and find Team Eclipse. I'll try and meet up with you later." Jake added, and then went inside the Pokémon Center. The Gym Leader looked at me and nodded.
"Let's go ahead, Sonic. Quick trip to the Pokémon Center, and then we fight Team Eclipse." I said.
"Let's go save your parents!" Sonic shouted, and then both of us went inside the Pokémon Center. Could Team Eclipse have my parents inside the volcano at this very moment...? I'm not too sure.
A/N: HOLY CRAP, THIS TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO MAKE :0. My Internet isn't really being the best today, so I finished this on my computer since it has better Internet connection. Anyways, I hope you enjoy and I'll see you next time for more of the Admin Story. :)
