When we last left our hero, Cassie, she had just met Pilot Maria Rambeau, who helped her get to the outskirts of Budpe Town. There, she trains and looks for Pokémon with the help of her trusty Gooken, Chewy. Suddenly, a strange boy exits Route 616 and comes right towards you!
Chewy: Mrau?!
?: Hey, kid.
?: I need that patch of grass you're looking in.
WHO ARE YOU? *
NOT A CHANCE.
?: You seriously don't know?
Flash: I'm Flash Thompson. My mother, Sharon Osborne, is a very important researcher for Wakan City. So, are you going to move or not?
OKAY...
NO *
Flash: No?! Haha! Oh, I'm going to make you regret that, kid.
You have been challenge by the strange boy, Flash!
Flash sent out INFAQUOIA.
Go, Chewy!
...
Flash: ...Incredible.
Flash: ...err, I mean, not too bad, kid. But I totally would have won if it weren't for your type advantage. So, don't let it go to your head. We'll be battling again.
As Flash walks off, a gruff looking girl approaches.
?: That was awesome!
?: I've never seen anyone stick it to Flash like that! Good work, kid!
MJ: Oh, guess I should introduce myself. I'm MJ, I just started my journey today too! This is Dahlia, my JOTKI.
Dahlia: Grooo!
MJ: Are you looking to take on the gym leader in Budpe?
...
MJ: Us too! Do you wanna battle? We could use all the practice we could get, and there's not many trainers worth our time back on Route 616.
YES
NO
MJ: That's what I like to hear! Buckle up, kid, I'm not gonna be nearly as easy as Flash was!
You have been challenged by Grunge Girl MJ!
MJ sent out Dahlia.
Go, Chewy!
...
MJ: Ha, we won! Good work, Dahlia! And good work on your part too, kid. Here, let me heal your Pokémon for you.
…
MJ: Don't beat yourself up, that was a great battle! But I would train a bit more before taking on Natasha, I hear her dark type team is intense. As for us, we're off to get a gym badge! Good luck, kid, I'll see you around.
*Cassie continues her training on the outskirts of Budpe Town, Chewy getting stronger through every battle with wild Pokémon. Until suddenly...*
A wild COMBEE attacked!
Go, Chewy!
...
Gotcha! COMBEE was caught.
Would you like to give a nickname to the captured COMBEE?
YES *
NO
…You'd like to nickname it Stature?
YES *
NO
Excellent! Welcome to the team, Stature!
Cassie just found two new rivals through Flash and MJ! What part will they play on her journey through the Pokémon world? And with Stature the COMBEE on her team, is she finally ready to take on Gym Leader Natasha? There's only one way to find out!
