Hey guys!

Sorry for the delay! I had a writer's block and couldn't decide on what to do for this chapter. Then after playing a bit of pokémon games, I finally got the plot! Enjoy!

Episode 3: When there's a Wurmple, there's a Way!

Continuing their journey from Littleroot Town, Garnet and Topaz find themselves traveling together. With their new friends, Torchic and Mudkip, they'll face the Hoenn region.

"Alright so the trip to Rustboro Gym may take an extra day." Topaz said, checking the map.

"WHAT! I've got to get their now and battle the gym leader!" Garnet yelled. Pichu and Mudkip started to yell too.

Topza sighed along with Puffy and Blaze (her Torchic's nickname). Garnet could be a little impatient at times and could act like a little kid. Nevertheless they both balanced each other out.

A sudden rustling in the bush nearby caused Garnet to stop ranting. "Did you hear that?" She asked Topaz, who shook her head. The bush rustled harder as a worm like pokémon popped out of it. It was red with a white underbelly. It had yellow spikes coming out of its side and head.

"I wonder who that pokémon is." Topaz said, bringing out her pokedex.

Wurmple, the Worm Pokémon. Wurmple live primarily off of sap from trees. The suction cups on its feet keep it from slipping.

"Hey I've seen these buggers before! Apparently if I remember, it can sometimes evolve into a pokémon called Beautifly." Garnet commented. Topaz checked her pokedex again.

Beautifly, the Butterfly Pokémon. Beautifly have long, thin noses which can extend to suck the pollen out of flowers.

Topaz saw the picture and immediately thought of her coordinator dream. With Beautifly on my team, I can dazzle the audience with its beauty. She thought.

"I'm going to catch it!" She decided. Garnet nodded her head. She stepped back with Pichu and Mudkip. "Well don't let me stop you. Go ahead and catch that Wurmple!" "Pichu!" "Mudkip!"

Topaz rolled her eyes. "Cut the theatrics, I get what you mean. Ready Puffy and Blaze?"

"Jiggly!" Puffy said, swelling up.

"Chic!" Blaze exclaimed, blowing little embers around.

"Okay Puffy use Swift! Blaze use Ember!" Puffy shot golden stars at Wurmple while Blaze shot tiny sparks from her mouth. To their surprise, the Wurmple countered with Poison Sting!

"Woah that's not natural! I've never seen a Wurmple do Poison Sting!" Garnet said. Topaz was equally shocked as it charged up to Puffy and Blaze using Headbutt. Puffy dodged, but Blaze got hit. "Chic!" She said, in pain.

"Blaze are you okay? Puffy use Sing to calm him down!" Topaz commanded. Puffy sang one of her lullabies as the Wurmple suddenly fell asleep. "Good now Blaze, Tackle attack!" Blaze ran to Wurmple and got a direct hit.

"Go Pokeball!" Topaz threw the capsule as it hit the Wurmple. The ball caught it and twitched around for a bit. Then with a click! it stopped.

"I claim this victory to my dazzling partners because I caught a Wurmple!" Topaz shouted as Puffy and Blaze cheered alongside her. Garnet ran over and hugged her.

"Congrats on your first capture!" She hugged tighter causing Topaz to choke. "Oops sorry!"

Suddenly, a robotic arm grabbed the pokéball from out of her hand!

"Oh no, my poor Wurmple!" Topaz cried.

"Who did this?" Garnet yelled, looking around.

"You bet the bad news has come"

"When your outnumbered zero to one."

"To bring forth darkness at a rapid pace."

"To stamp out the light and put evil in its place.'

"The beauty of evil is oh so bad."

"Because you'll have the best time you ever had."

"Emissary of darkness, Kidd!"

"Emissary of darkness, Billy."

"Team Rocket blazes through the night."

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

"Umbreon!"

"Team Rocket!" Garnet growled.

"Billy and Kit?" Topaz asked.

Kidd felled to the ground from the branch she was on. "Meanie! My name's Kidd, not Kit!"

"Not now, you ninnie! We've got their pokémon so let's go already." Billy pointed out.

"Give me back my Wurmple!" Topaz ran up to Billy and grabbed at the pokéball. She pulled with all her might and broke it out of his grasp!

"Alright Topaz! Now allow me to clean them up!" Garnet proclaimed.

"I'll assist you in all I can. Go Wurmple!" The bug pokémon came out and gave Team Rocket a menacing look.

"That bug needs to be squashed! Go Mightyena!" Billy said, bringing out his pokémon.

"Umbreon, Shadow Ball attack!" Kid interjected.

"Deflect that with Bubblebeam!" Garnet told Mudkip.

Mudkip shot out a stream of bubbles as it collided with the shadowy ball. It burst through and hit Umbreon in the face.

"That's dirty even for me! A Mudkip can't learn bubblebeam at a young age!" Kid shrieked.

"Well tough luck! I guess my Mudkip is different from others." Garnet teased. "Kip!" Mudkip said.

"That makes it greater to catch. Umbreon use Dark Pulse!" Umbreon shot a dark blob at Mudkip who flinched.

"Mudkip Bubblebeam once more!" Garnet called out. Mudkip got back up and shot more bubbles at Umbreon, who fainted.

"Gah my precious Umbreon!" Kid whined.

Meanwhile…

"So the prissy little coordinator is going to battle me? This'll be easy." Billy taunted.

"Don't mistake me for a weak trainer though. I can beat you." Topaz retorted.

"You just caught that pokémon. You don't even know what moves it does."

Topaz stopped talking and anime sweat-dropped. Crud he's right! I just caught this pokémon and I have no idea what moves it uses.

"Give me a sec then!" She said, looking at her pokedex as Billy fell down.

Okay not only does it know Poison Sting, but it can use Headbutt, String Shot, and Bug Bite. Despite its level, that's pretty impressive!

"Okay I've waited long enough! Mightyena, Dark Claw!" Mightyena rushed forward and raised one of his claws at Wurmple.

"Oh no you don't! Wurmple tie him up with String Shot!" Wurmple shot out a long strings of silk as it wrapped around Mightyena. The dog was immobilized and fell to the ground.

"Now that's some silk! Charge and use Headbutt!" Wurmple rammed itself onto Mightyena and pushed him back against Billy.

"I was defeated by a little insect? But how?" Billy questioned.

Garnet came over after finishing Kidd. "Ready for the finale?" She asked.

"Okay Puffy Swift attack, Blaze use Ember, and Wurmple use Poison Sting!"

"Pichu use Thunderbolt amd Mudkip use Bubblebeam!"

All five attacks blew up around Team Rocket as they were sent flying.

"I guess that prissy trainer isn't as prissy as I thought she was." Billy complained.

"I can't believe she got my name wrong." Kidd whined.

"Team Rocket's blasting off again!" They both shouted.

"A new friend deserves a suiting name." Topaz said, patting Wurmple on the head.

"Yeah something cool like Spike!" Garnet suggested.

"I prefer Silky because of its String Shot attack." Topaz decided as she put Silky back into its pokéball.

"What a boring nickname!" Garnet drawled out. Topaz gave her a mean look that caused her spine to shiver. "I mean, a wonderful nickname for a wonderful pokémon!"

"Now that we've got a new friend onto Rustboro City." Topaz said.

"ALRIGHT LET'S GO!" Garnet shouted.

And so Topaz has caught Silky and the girls are on their way to Rustboro Gym. What new things will they encounter next as they travel the exciting world of pokémon? Stay tuned!
