Jaina spent the next morning doing some fishing in Shalour City. She caught a Remoraid and named him Ezekiel. While swimming in Azure Bay she caught a lost Chatot and named her Jeremiah. Then she went to train on Route 13 so Esther could evolve. While doing so Jaina caught a Dugtrio and named him Lamentations. Esther evolved into Probopass soon after.

She waited by the Courmarine Gym for the others to catch up. While she did she let her Pokémon out to play.

"Probo prob pro?!" Esther bragged.

"Alakazam?" Deuteronomy said.

"Quill quilladin!" Genesis said.

"La lapras." Songofsongs quietly said.

"Mar marrow." Nehemiah said.

"Char char!" Joshua yelled. "Char char charmeleon!"

"I think you look very beautiful Esther." Jaina said. "And Joshua, we can't be training all the time. We'll tire ourselves out."

"Quill!" Genesis said. "Quill quill quilladin!" Genesis jumped up in the air and flipped around. His head land in the ground and he got stuck. Everyone laughed. Nehemiah picked him up out of the ground.

"Char char char, char char char." Joshua said.

"Yeah… Jousha's right. You can be a little too laid back Genesis. You don't make a good leader because of this, while Joshua is more serious and why he's the leader of the team." Jaina said.

Genesis shrugged. Joshua shook his head.

The others soon arrived.

"Jaina! Can we see Mega Evolution in battle?" Shauna asked.

"Shauna," Calem sighed, "Mega Evolution is to be used only in emergencies."

"Oh…"

"You wouldn't be able to see it anyway." Jaina said. "I may have past the tests, but it is too much for me right now. I put the Lucario Korrina gave me in the PC for now."

"I guess you need to take things at you own pace." Trevor said.

"That's a bummer, but not much you can do." Tierno said.

"I'm going to the gym." Jaina said.

"Oh? Good luck!" Shauna said.

Calem shook his head. "Shauna how many times do I have to tell you? There's no such thing as luck."

"Oh. Right. Umm… May the Aura be with you!" She said.

Jaina smiled and went to the gym. She found Ramos.

"I am Reshkari Knight Jaina Solo! I'm here to challenge you and claim this city in the name of the Reshkari!"

"A Reshkari eh?" Ramos laughed. "If I can defeat you young whippersnapper I will be one step closer to finding the Legendary Pokémon. Then I can use it to make myself young again. Then I will never have to stop doing what I love."

Ramos sent out his first Pokémon, a Jumpluff. Jaina sent out Esther.

"Jumpluff! Grass Knot!" Ramos ordered.

"Jum!"

Esther shook it off.

"Esther Power Gem!" Jaina said.

"Probo!" Esther yelled. Jumpluff survived the first attack, then the second, then the third.

"Grass Knot now!" Ramos said.

"Jump!"

Esther held on.

"One more Power Gem!" Jaina said.

Esther sent more stones flying at Jumpluff. This time she aimed right at Jumpluff's heart. The stones pierced its heart and killed it.

"Whaa?" Ramos yelled. "Go Gogoat!"

"Esther return!" Jaina yelled. "Genesis go!"

"Gogoat Take Down!"

"GO!"

Genesis took the hit.

"Use Power Up Punch until I say stop!" Jaina said.

"Quill!" Genesis said. The two traded Take Down and Power Up Punch. Eventually Genesis landed a hit on Gogoat's skull and cracked it open. It fell to the ground and died.

"How?" Ramos asked. "Weepinbell, Acid."

"Bell!"

"Genesis!" Jaina yelled. She realized that she just became concerned about Genesis. She didn't want to lose him. "Genesis return! Go Deuteronomy!"

"Alakazam!" Deuteronomy came out and killed Weepinbell with one Psybeam.

"My Pokemon… Well at least I will see them soon." Ramos cried.

Jaina felt sorry for him, but this was war.

"Here's your badge." Ramos gave her the Plant Badge. "Courmarine is now under your control."

Jaina nodded and left to heal. The other were waiting for her at the Center.

"How'd it go?" Shauna asked.

Jaina showed them the badge.

"You're half way done." Calem said.

"Alright! Soon Kalos will be at peace!" Tierno did a little dance.

"Peace is much better for research." Trevor said.

"We should rest for now." Calem said.

The group nodded. Jaina let her Pokémon out again. She smiled as they talked and played.

"Looks like you're beginning to open up to them." Shauna said.

"I guess." Jaina said.

"What was your first Pokémon again?" Shauna asked.

"A Snivy named Jay. I got him as a baby from my uncle."

"Oh…"

Jaina wiped a tear that fell. "He was killed while my brothers and I were looking for Pokémon. Jason and I had just become Knights. I found a Munna. Then some thugs came. They had a Krookodile swallow the Munna whole."

"What?!"

"I got angry ad challenged them to a battle. Their leader sent out a Bouffalant. It sent Jay flying into a tree. He died on impact. They would have killed us, but Jason's Teping evolved into Pignite and scared them off."

Shauna was speechless.

"I miss Jay. My mom pretty much made me go on this journey to get over his death."

"Surely she has had Pokémon die?" Shauna asked.

"Too many to count, but she got over them quickly because she needed to stay focused on her mission." Jaina explained. "Jay's death was almost a year ago and I still hadn't gotten over it."

"Knight Solo!"

Everyone looked and saw Master Sycamore and Master Diantha.

"What are you doing here Masters?" Calem asked.

"Clemont kicked me out of the city. He claims that I caused a power outage to weaken him."

"What? Did you?" Calem asked.

"No. I wouldn't dare put innocent people and Pokémon at risk." Master Sycamore said.

"So we've lost complete control of Lumiose?" Jaina asked.

"I'm afraid so."

"This wouldn't have happened had you just stayed out of this." Master Diantha said.

"I need you all to investigate the power plant. Since Jaina looks like she just fought Ramos tomorrow will be fine." Sycamore said.

"Yes Master!" The group nodded.
