Chapter 9: Nacrene Gym Battle!

Alright, Kirby, your Pokemon are all healthy and ready to battle tomorrow." Nurse Joy happily said and gave Kirby Echo, Eva, and his Pokeballs back.

"Thank you, Nurse Joy." Kirby said and grabbed his Pokeball while Echo and Eva got off the cart, "Also, can I have a room to spend the night?" Kirby asked politely.

"Of course." Nurse Joy said and reached for a key under the desk, "Here is your key, and enjoy your stay." She said, Kirby smiled and got off the desk and joined Echo and Eva. They started to walk down the hall while looking at the door number.

"Room 7... Room 8... oh here it is, Room 9." Kirby said and entered the room. It has two beds inside, a chair, a table, and one lamp between the 2 beds. "Why are there 2 beds?" Kirby asked himself but shrugged it off and released Rammus, Sky, and Zoey from their Pokeballs. Zoey started to stretch her legs, Sky spread his wing, and Rammus just looked around the room then spotted Kirby. He went up to him and glared,

{Why are we inside this room.} Rammus question. Kirby took a step back then stared into Rammus's eyes.

"You guys are gonna rest tonight on a bed." Kirby said, pointing at the bed and smiled. Rammus looked over at the bed then got on it. When he got on it, he felt like he was on a soft pile of leaves, making him lie down and sleep very fast. Kirby sweat dropped but then looked over to Zoey, "Guess you and Eva will share a bed." Kirby said, Zoey shrugged and got on the other bed while Eva tensed up and didn't move, Kirby looked over at her and was confused, "Eva, don't you want to sleep in a bed?" he asked, but Eva didn't even move a muscle. Kirby thought to leave her alone for awhile and check on Sky and Echo, who were having a conversation about Kirby himself.

{Kirby is unique right?} Echo said, Sky nodded and started talking about the battle he had with him, but was interrupted when Kirby came.

"Alright guys, I'm gonna head out. I'm leaving you two in charge." Kirby said, Echo and Sky looked at each other then nodded, but Echo put his paw next to his cheek.

{Where are you going Kirby?} he asked. Kirby smiled then pointed outside,

"I'm going to a store to get more fruit, need to restock my energy supply." he said, getting a sweat drop from both Sky and Echo, "Well, I should head out before it closes, see ya guys." Kirby said, heading towards the door, opening it, and closed it. Echo smiled and went to Kirby's bag and started to look through it, while Sky flew to bed and went to sleep. Eva was still standing still, but saw Zoey grooming herself on the bed while on the other bed, Rammus was asleep while Sky was getting comfortable on the bed to fall asleep. Then she spotted Echo looking through Kirby's bag. She started to move towards Echo then stop when she heard, 'Found it,' from him and took out a silver sphere with holes below it and a ribbon on top of it. Echo then ran up to a couch then looked outside the window. Eva looked back towards Zoey, who was sleeping now, then at Sky, who finally fell asleep and was having a smile on his face. Eva took this chance to approach Echo and talk to him a bit.

{Echo?} Eva question. Echo flinched and almost dropped the silver sphere but caught it quick.

{Um... what up Eva?} he said, trying to hide the sphere from her, but couldn't since she went up the couch and sat next to him.

{What are you doing here by yourself?} She asked, trying to find out what the item is, but couldn't completely find out what it is.

{Just... thinking about the past.} he simply said, lowering his ears and sounding a bit sad. Eva let out a sigh then looked outside.

{Is the object you're holding a part of your past?} She asked, Echo simply chuckled then looked up,

{There is nothing I can hide, huh.} Echo said and revealed the object, it was a Soothe Bell, and he let it hang and moved it a bit to create a soothing sound.

{It sounds beautiful,} Eva said, admiring the bell and relaxing on the chair, {but how does it connect with your past Echo?} she asked him, Echo moved the bell close to his heart and looked up.

{It's the only memory I have about the orphanage I used to live in.} he said, giving a small smile then closed his eyes, {a bell given to me from two special friend.} he said, tears started to fill his. Eva felt tense at the sight of Echo almost crying but saw him wiping his tears away, she decided to ask him another question.

{Who were they?} she asked calmly, Echo's ears went a little more lower and he looked down on the floor.

{A Bulbasaur named Blade, who was actually pretty friendly towards everyone, and a Eevee named Chepi, who was very calm and peaceful around the others. Those two were my greatest friends when I was in the orphanage. One day, the orphanage decided to take us on a adventure in the forest for a scavenger hunt, and if you find the item, you get to keep it to yourself. Chepi, Blade, and I decided to split up to find at least on object. I decided to climb a tree in hope to find something. Just after I was about to give up, I looked inside one last tree.} he started to laugh a bit, {I was stunned the I found three Soothe Bell inside that tree. I took all three bells and carried them back to the place we were suppose to meet. Everybody was already there and turns out, they were waiting for me. I got scolded from "Mom" but then I showed her the 3 Soothe Bells and she smiled and pet me. We went back to the orphanage and I started to look for Blade and Chepi. I found them in my room and I ran up to them. They saw me and smiled as I ran up to them. I had a bag with me at that time and was carrying the Soothe Bells and was ready to surprise them. Blade went first and took out a Miracle Seed, a Light Ball, and a Silk Scarf. Then Chepi went next and she got out a Bulbasaur Doll, Eevee Doll, and a Pikachu Doll. I felt embarrassed at that time, thinking that they got unique items from each of us while I got only one item. Blade told me it was my turn and I took out all three Soothe Bells and gave one to Chepi and Blade. Blade was surprised at first, since I accidentally made the bell chime a bit. Chepi enjoyed the sound and took the bell and made the sound again. It was peaceful, and I decided to do something that will always make us friends. I told Blade and Chepi that these Bells will be a sign of our friendship, and that we will keep it in our possession. Blade agreed very fast while Chepi nodded with a smile. I tied the bell around Chepi's neck, while with Blade, I tied it around his bulb. Then Blade passed me the Light Ball and Eevee the Silk Scarf and kept the Miracle Seed. Finally, Chepi gave us the doll. That was the best day I had in the orphanage.} He finally ended his story, holding the bell tightly to his chest and having a bit of tears in his eyes. Eva smiled at Echo's memory, but wondered why would he leave his friends behind.

{But you had friends back there Echo, so why did you ran away from the orphanage?} she asked, with a serious tone. This time, Echo chimed the bell once and took a deep breath and let a tear fall.

{The orphanage kept secrets from me to keep me happy, but one secret couldn't stay quiet. It happen a year ago, Blade, Chepi, and I decided to met behind the orphanage to play a game, but they never showed up. I decided to talk to "Mom" and asked her if she knew where they were. She was tensing a bit but came clear. As it turns out, Bulbasaur was 'adopted,' leaving me behind and without saying goodbye, and as for Chepi...} More tears fell down to his cheeks and wiped them away, {as it turns out, she was kidnapped, she doesn't know how though. That news had struck me hard, and I entered a depressing state. I didn't wanted to eat, sleep, or even play with the other kids. Most of them gave up hope on me while a girl, Deerling, tried to comfort me as much as possible, but no matter how hard she tried, I wouldn't stop crying over my friends. The day before I met you and Kirby, I was sitting in bed and was thinking about all of my friends that left during my life. I started thinking about the lies the orphanage kept from me. I didn't wanted to stay there anymore.} Echo started to develop sparks, {I didn't want my life to be filled with secrets and life!} he started to yell a bit and cried more, {I wanted to leave! Get out of there of that prison! I wanted to-} Echo was stopped by Eva, she was hugging him and had tears in her eyes, she started to pet Echo and grabbed the bell from his hand and played it next to his ears, calming him down and the sparks seized. {Thanks Eva, but there was one thing I would never forget before I left the orphanage.} he said, grabbing her hand, {Before I left, I did the same thing like I was now, but I did it in front of "Mom," and Deerling. They tried to calm me down but I already had my bag in hand and had all 3 items inside of it. I yelled at them and they were scared of me. I shot a Electro Ball up into the ceiling and broke it, then used Iron Tail and hit the Electro Ball down and launched myself up. I landed on the ceiling and heard the both of them having a conversation. The only words I heard from "Mom" that I was dangerous and to leave me alone, but what I heard was one thing I never expected. Deerling said that she cared about me, and that she would save me from this problem, but I didn't consider my choice of words and yelled out something I deeply regret before I left.} Echo stayed silent for while then shook his head, {'Everything here is a lie. The people who cared about me is a lie. "Mom" is a lie. Blade and Chepi is a lie. Lastly, the one who says that cares about is a lie. This who entire place is a lie. And I'm leaving this place... forever!'} Echo repeated as many words that he could remember. Eva didn't know what to say, Echo actually had a terrible experience before meeting them. No wonder he didn't smile the moment he met Kirby. Eva leaned close to Echo and gave him a hug. Echo was surprised by her action but hugged back, sobbing a bit on her shoulder.

Minutes of silence passed, Rammus had one eye open and had a tear in it, Sky was crying with his eyes closed and Zoey stared at the two Pokemon that were on a chair and shred a tear. Rammus then woke up and climbed off the bed and went towards the couch and climbed it, surprising Echo and Eva, making her let Echo go, {Rammus, what are you going?} Eva asked, but he stayed silent and sat next to Echo. Sky followed up and flew above the couch and landed next to Echo and started to chirp a bit. Lastly, Zoey got off the bed and went towards the couch and went next to Echo and leaned on him. Before Eva could speak, Sky spoke.

{You don't need to hold back Echo.} he said, singing a tiny tone.

{We're all family aren't we.} Rammus muttered, rubbing his back with one of his paws.

{And you said it yourself Echo, we are all a family.} Zoey said, licking his cheek and snickering. Echo smiled and felt really calm inside. He felt complete now, no feelings of regret linger in him. Minutes passed and everyone fell asleep next to Echo, who was smiling with joy. A door could be heard being open and Kirby went through it with a basket filled with a mountain of fruit.

"Alright, time to put all these fruits in... oh." Kirby saw his Pokemon around Echo on the couch. He smiled and walked towards his bag and got out a Pikachu doll and a Light Ball. 'I swear that I will find his friends.' Kirby thought but turns back to look at all his fruit and grabbed the basket. "Well, time to shove all this fruit in this magical bag." he said and started to push all the fruit inside the bag. "Come on. Fit!" he whispered loudly, pushing all the fruit inside the bag and finally went in. "Finally. Well, I guess it's time to sleep." he said, flopping on the floor and slept like a log.

Echo woke up later and found Kirby on the floor. He was about to get up to wake him up, but felt something leaning on him and looked to his left, Eva was leaning on his shoulder while on his right, Zoey sleeping on top of his paw. He sighed and remembered what happened last night for this to happen, {My family huh.} he whispered, smiling at the fact but felt something wet touch his hand, then a bite, {Agh! What the?} he yelled quietly He looked to his right paw and found Zoey licking his hand then biting it. Echo wanted to scream but didn't want to disturb their sleep, so he quietly yelled and cried through the pain. 10 minutes passed and Zoey woke up, feeling something in her mouth and open her eyes. She found Echo's hand in her mouth and let it go. She looked at him and laughed at the expression he had.

{Sorry Echo I got a little hungry.} She said, and Kirby woke up very fast at the word.

"Ah, I'm hungry." Kirby cried, limping towards his bad and got out a frying pan then ate it. Echo and Zoey at what Kirby.

Transformation Begin!

Kirby jumped in the air and spun very fast and a chef's hat appeared on his head when he stopped, then he expected a frying pan to appear in his hand but hit him in the face, giving him a small concussion but grabbed it then posed very confidently.

Transformation Finished!

Kirby landed back down, then got out 5 bowls and 1 plate. Then he got out 18 apples and put them in the frying pan. Echo started to question what was he doing until he heard apples being sizzled and transformed into a different type of apple. Kirby put three fried apples one each bowl then three on a plate. Zoey smiled then got off of Echo then went towards Rammus then nudge him.

{Rammus sweetie, time to wake up and eat.} She said near his ear and his eye shot open real fast and he got off the chair and started to breathe fast in a corner while staring at her. She started to laugh very loudly, waking up Sky. He stretched his wings then looked around the room and found Kirby eating a fried apple and he joined in but saw Rammus freaking out and Zoey laughing and he just smiled. Echo was still stuck with Eva sleeping on his shoulder so he was about to nudge her until Kirby yelled don't. It was a mistake since that woke her up and ran to Kirby and Vine Whip on him. He landed on the bed and was glad but went back and said sorry to her. She just sighed but saw the food and sat next to her bowl. She heard Zoey coming and looked next to her, seeing her still snickering while looked over to Rammus, who was crimson red and eating the fried apple. She saw Echo across from her, eating each apple while holding the bell. She smiled then continued eating the apples with joy.

{Hey, this is not that bad!} Zoey said, Sky nodded to agree, and Rammus just turned back to normal, eating an apple with great joy!

{I haven't tasted Kirby's cooking in a while.} Eva said, putting her hand next to her cheek, enjoying the apple.

"Yep, I don't cook that much, but when I do, I try to do my best!" he said, gobbling an apple and munching it. Echo smiled then looked at Kirby's bag and saw that the Light Ball and Pikachu Doll was outside of it. He ate all the apples and ran up to the items and put them back inside the bag. Once he put the Light Ball and Pikachu Doll inside the bag, he looked at the bell for awhile then rung it. The sound it made the atmosphere serene, Kirby relaxed and the rest just admire the sound. Echo then put up the item away then walked back towards Kirby.

{So, what are we going to do today?} he asked, Kirby got up, spat out the pan and went to his bag to put it up and grabbed his hat from inside of it.

"Now, we challenge the Gym Leader." He said, he took out his Pokeballs and return Zoey, Sky, and Rammus, "Let's go." He said, so Echo and Eva got on top of him and he left after checking the room for items and gave the keys back to Nurse Joy.

{So Kirby, do you know where the gym is?} Eva asked, Kirby flinched but continued to walk and saw a museum.

"Not a clue, but let's go to that museum, maybe they know where the gym is." Kirby said, earning a sigh from Echo and Eva, "Hey, I'm thinking! At least I know that I'm lost!" he said, getting a nod from Echo, and a map from Eva.

{It says that the museum is up ahead.} she said, pointing at their current location with her vine and going up towards a building.

"Alright, let's go then." he cheered putting his hat down a bit and started to run towards the museum.

"Pokemon Black and White Adventure Song, Opening 1 Play Here"

Narrator Voice: As Kirby is ready to challenge the gym, he makes his way to the museum to ask for directions to the Museum.

"Guess we're here." Kirby said, looking at a gate made of bricks and a unique building that has symbols on it.

{Just go inside and ask for direction!} Eva yelled. Kirby looked up at her but just sighed and was about to enter, but stop and looked all around him and saw many colorful buildings.

"Hey Eva, I been meaning to ask, why are the buildings filled with art?" Kirby asked her, but she got annoyed and just shook her head while taking out his phone.

{It says right here that this city had many unused warehouses, so artist used the building to paint there are, as the city is now named, 'City of Art.'} she said to him, then gave him his phone to see the information,

{Can we go ask for those directions already.} Echo begged, getting impatient and being a bit drowsy.

"Alright, let's go." Kirby said, going inside the museum. It had a long passageway that led to a desk with a man flat hair, wearing glasses and a suit behind the desk. He saw Kirby and smiled,

"Welcome sir, have you come to see our amazing exhibits?" the man asked. Kirby shook his head and got on top of the desk.

"Sorry but no, I'm here to ask for direction to the gym." he said, the man scratches his head and smiled.

"You're in the right place, sir." The man said. Kirby had a confused face now since he thought this was a museum., "You see, this place is both a gym and a museum, and Mama is in charge." the man said.

"Who is Mama? Kirby asked, the man started to lead him through some exhibits and reach a door that leads to a library. Then the man leads him through a library a introduce him to a tall woman with black skin, teal hair and blue eyes. She wears a striped headband, with a white shirt with a white ribbon on her neck, as well as orange flats, teal pants and a khaki apron with orange pockets.

"This is Mama." The man said with a smile, the woman look down at Kirby and smiled.

"Welcome to the Nacrene Gym, I'm Lenora and the man who led you is my husband, Hawes." she said, while the man waved. Kirby bowed and raised his hat.

"I'm Kirby," Kirby said introducing himself, "And these are my partners, Echo," he pointed at the Pikachu, "And Eva." pointing at the Snivy that waved at the gym leader.

"Nice to meet you, Kirby, are you here to challenge my gym. " Lenora asked. Kirby nodded at the question and she told him to follow her. She leads him through the library to a door. Hawes stepped up and put his hand on a scanner to open it,

"The general public isn't allowed to go any further." he said, Kirby was starting to grow curious while Eva and Echo were confused on what was going on. They continue to walk into a different part of a library that made Kirby confuse now while the others even more confuse.

"Nice library, I guess." Kirby said, looking at the titles with a confused look.

"This Library is filled with valuable books and research papers Kirby." Lenora told him, "And you'll need our permission if you want to read something from here." she said. Then Hawes started to walk towards a shelf and stop in front of it.

"This Library has most of the books in the Unova region. You can find anything about the Unova region here, whether it's history or culture." he said, having a lot of pride in him.

"That's cool." Kirby simply said. Eva got off of Kirby and started looking at the books, knowing that Kirby wouldn't move due to the fact that it's rare to see him reading a book, while Echo was a bit surprised at the amount of books that were inside the library. Lenora stepped up towards Kirby and put her hand on his head, getting his attention.

"So Kirby, would you like to know anything about the Unova region before our battle?" she asked with a big smile, but Kirby just looked uninterested.

"I'm good, but I just came here to battle." he answered her, whistling his Pokemon to get back on his head.

"I know that. That's why I brought you here Kirby." she said. Kirby turned around with a confused face, "You see, the only people allowed to come here are people who want to use it for examinations or research and Gym match challengers." she walked passed Kirby.

"I guess that makes sense, knowledge will help you any way possible, let it be either Pokemon battles or any other career." he asked.

"That's right Kirby." she said, getting to a shelf and started to point at a blue book at the center of a shelf, "So, what do you think? I recommend to read this one." she suggested, Kirby looked at his Pokemon, they shrugged, making Kirby sigh and walk up to the shelf and jump to grab the book. He pulls it then it the book shelve started to rumble and rise, surprising Kirby, Echo, and Eva. Under it was a staircase going down.

"Kirby is a straightforward person, isn't Mama." Hawes said while Lenora nodded at the comment.

"I'm straight forward?" Kirby question, Eva just nodded while Echo tilted his head.

"You see Kirby, from the moment you step entered this place, you were being tested by me." Lenora said.

"What do you mean by that?" Kirby asked her.

"You see, most challengers upon my recommendation to read a book in this library first search for a subject they are interested in."

"Really, out of all these books?" Kirby tilted his head, following his example, was Eva and Echo tilting their head to the other side.

"That's right. Even though I tried showing them the shortest route to the gym, they read too much into my actions and take detours. They either pick a book they are interested in or a thin book so they can finish reading it as fast as possible. It's funny actually. And with that, I can figure out the Trainer's inclinations just by the way they act here." She said, smirking a bit along with her husband.

Echo jumps on Kirby's hat and hit his head, {Then what's Kirby's personality?} he asked, but all Lenora and Hawes could hear was, "Pika Pikachu Pi?" with a questioning tone, making her smile at his Pokemon curiosity.

"Kirby is a bit mysterious." She answered to Echo, "He has a mysterious personality, the first minute, he seems calm and serious, the next, he's active and seems a bit out of place, but I'll have to study him more during our gym battle alright." she said, going down the stair, with Hawes, Kirby, Echo, and Eva following her. Kirby finally reached the end of the staircase and found a battlefield. "We're here." she said, Kirby walked to the middle of the battlefield first then Echo and Eva got off got off of him.

"This is actually impressive." Kirby said, shaking a bit then let out a loud battle cry, making everyone flinch at his action, "All right! Let's get this battle started!" he said, spinning his arm really fast.

"Hold on! You're impatient, but what I said up there is what I meant, you have a mysterious personality." Lenora said, getting two Pokeballs from her back, "Alright, time for you to study what type I use." she said, then tossed two Pokeballs in the air. "Lillipup! Watchog! Come on out!" she yelled, releasing a Lillipup and very tall, firm Pokemon that reminded him of Leon.

"Who's that Pokemon?" Kirby asked, getting his Pokedex and scanning the Pokemon.

Watchog, The Lookout Pokemon, and the evolved form of Patrat. They make the patterns on their bodies shine in order to threaten predators. Keen eyesight lets them see in the dark.

"I see, he's the evolved form of Leon." Kirby whispered to himself. He looked at the Lillipup and it dashed to Kirby and started to lick him. "Hey! Stop!" Kirby begged but started to laugh and enjoy it.

"Well, I guess we should start this battle. Hawes, do you mind explaining the rules." Lenora asked.

"Not at all Mama." he said, tilting his glasses up. "Here in the Nacrene Gym, we'll have the challengers choose two out of the ones they have in their hands first." He informed.

Kirby got Lenora's Lillipup off of him then looked at Hawes, "Only two?" Kirby asked.

"That's right. It'll be a two-on-two battle. Once both Pokemon of either the Gym Leader or the challenger are unable to battle, the battle is finished. Furthermore, either can substitute their Pokemon freely." He finally finished explaining.

'Two-on-Two battle huh.' Kirby thought.

"I'm going with my Lillipup first." She said.

'Lillipup, huh.?" He thought very carefully then put his hat down, "Alright, I made my choice." he said getting out one Pokeball, "Sky! Come out and cheer for us!" Kirby yelled, releasing him from his Pokeball. Sky got out and landed on the ground then tilted his head.

{Cheer for you?} Sky said, then looked at the two normal Pokemon beside him then nodded.

"Don't worry, I got know what I'm going to do." Kirby said then looked at Eva and Echo. "You guys cheer too." he said, walking towards his side of the field and getting out a Pokeball.

"Alright, I'm ready!" Kirby said, with his Pokemon on the sidelines, watching his battle.

"All right, the Nacrene Gym match is about to begin. Gym Leader Lenora against the challenger, Kirby. Now let the battle begin!" Hawes yelled.

Kirby smiled and nodded at his Pokeball, "Zoey! Get ready to battle!" Kirby yelled, tossing the Pokeball in the air and releasing her, but came out as a Lillipup instead. Kirby thought he got the wrong Pokeball but saw the Lillipup laugh and reminded himself about her ability and smiled.

"Oh my, a girl Lillipup, well that won't matter. Right pal?" Lenora said, the Lillipup went out to the battlefield and change his friendly personality to a fierce one. Kirby didn't flinch one bit either his Pokemon. Lenora seemed surprised that they weren't surprised, but didn't let it bother her.

"Zoey, go in and use Fury Swipes!" Kirby ordered. Zoey started to charge at the Lillipup with her nails growing long and glowing white.

"Lillipup, use Roar!" Lenora commanded, with her Lillipup glowing red and letting out a loud roar, stopping Zoey in her tracks and return her back to her Pokeball and releasing a sleeping Rammus. "Another Lillipup?" she asked, having a confused look on her face. Kirby just let out a chuckle and saw Rammus waking up and having an aggressive personality, scaring her Lillipup, "Guess, I'll switch now, return Lillipup!" she yelled, returning Lillipup to his Pokeball and taking out another Pokeball, "Go, Watchog!" she release a evolved form of Patrat, giving an intimidating look towards Rammus, but didn't flinch and just glared.

{Kirby, can you explain why I'm outside?} Rammus asked.

"Sorry Rammus, but can you battle for now?" Kirby asked back, earning a sigh from him but a bunch of cheers from Echo, Eva, and Sky.

{Fine.} Rammus said, getting into position and started to growl.

"My, you're able to speak with your Pokemon, but is it enough to defeat me?" she asked, then smirked, "Watchog, use Mean Look!" She ordered, as Watchog eyes turn completely white and had a dark aura around him, then release it, forming an eye and creating multiple eyes around Rammus, surrounding his with some dark aura.

"Oh, so she's using Mean Look to prevent me from switching my Pokemon." Kirby whispered,

"Watchog, use Low Kick!" She command, Watchog ran towards Rammus fast and swept his leg under him really fast, tripping him and making him fall on his side.

{OUCH!} Rammus yelled, then got up and glared at Watchog, who went back to his position, smirking at Rammus.

{Is that all you got?} Watchog asked, getting Rammus frustrated and stared at Kirby, who just shrugged and sighed.

"Rammus, use Work Up!" Kirby commanded as Rammus started to glow red and release steam from his body. Lenora was trying to think what he was doing but let it go.

"Watchog, use Thunderbolt!" She ordered, as Watchog started to surround himself with electricity and shot it at Rammus.

"Dodge it and use Tackle on Watchog, Rammus!" Kirby yelled as Rammus started to run forwards and sidestepped the Thunderbolt and Tackle Watchog in the center, pushing him back.

"You alright Watchog?" Lenora asked. The Watchog stood back up and nodded, but placed a paw where Rammus struck him, "Let's not take any chances, use Confuse Ray!" she instructed him, causing Kirby to step back as multiple yellow orbs appeared above Watchog and flew towards Rammus and popped on him, confusing him.

"Rammus!" Kirby yelled in concern, seeing Rammus wobble with confused eyes, 'I can't call him back since Mean Look is still in effect. I can't let him attack, so.' Kirby stared at Rammus and nodded, "Rammus, Work Up!" Kirby yelled, making Rammus glow red again and steam more.

"Watchog, Low Kick!" she yelled, making him launch towards Rammus again and prepared his kick,

'I'll take my chances,' Kirby thought, then took a deep breath, "Rammus, jump as high as you can, then use Fire Fang!" Kirby yelled.

{Fire Fang!?} Eva screamed with confusion.

{Did Rammus actually mastered Fire Fang?} Echo asked. Sky shook his head and stared at Rammus.

{Guess we are gonna find out.} Sky said, while Hawes stared at the Pokemon a bit confuse.

"Now!" Kirby yelled as Rammus jumped in the air, avoiding Watchog Low Kick and his Fangs started to blades and dropped, biting Watchog's tail and dealing a ton of damage after two Works Up. Rammus was still holding onto Watchog's tail, still wobbling from the Confuse Ray effects.

"Watchog, spin around to get Rammus off!" Lenora commanded, as Watchog got upside down and started to spin, while Rammus teeth started to glow bright white and started to chomp Watchog's tail really hard, catching him off guard and stop him from spinning, letting Rammus get back on the ground and started to spin Watchog around in the air, surprising everyone when he slammed Watchog on the ground, making him faint from the impact.

"Watchog!" Lenora cried out.

"Watchog is unable to battle, Rammus wins!" Hawes said. Kirby cheered while Rammus's eyes went back to normal, questioning what just happen and had a confused face. While Lenora returned Watchog and was smiling.

"Take a long rest, but I'm surprised that Watchog was defeated, even with Rammus confused." Lenora commented, while Kirby smiled and pointed at his Pokemon.

"Each Pokemon has a way to surprise us, I'm guessing this is one of those surprises Rammus has." he said, making Rammus more confuse.

"You got a point, but your luck has run out, Lillipup, come out!" Lenora yelled, releasing her Lillipup again. It was facing against Rammus now and had a confident face, while Rammus stared at the Lillipup and smirked.

"Let's continue Rammus, use Work Up!" Kirby yelled, making Rammus glow red again released steam for the third time. "Now Rammus, use Tackle!" Kirby ordered. Rammus started to charge at the Lillipup.

"Protect, Lillipup!" Lenora said as Lillipup put up a green barrier, with Rammus hitting the shield hard, making him cry in pain, "Now, Take Down!" Lenora yelled, as her Lillipup rammed against Rammus, making him fly and smash into a wall. He fell to the ground but got up, tired and breathing fast. Kirby thought fast and got out his Pokeball.

"Return, Rammus!" Kirby said, returning him then grabbing Zoey's Pokeball, "Zoey, Get Ready to Battle!" Kirby yelled, releasing the hidden Zorua as a Lillipup still. "Zoey, use Feint Attack!" Kirby said, as Zoey disappeared and appeared next to Lillipup and tackled him. It staggered back but got back to his feet.

'That's isn't a Lillipup.' Lenora thought, "Lillipup, use Take Down again!" she yelled. The Lillipup then started to charge at Zoey and hit her, pushing her back but barely doing damage, as she jumped and turn back to a Zorua and laughed. "A Zorua?" Lenora yelled and surprised, Kirby smirked and nodded at Zoey.

"Zoey, use Attract!" Kirby said, catching Lenora off guard, as Zoey winked towards Lillipup, surrounding him with hearts and went inside of him, making him infatuated towards Zoey.

"Lillipup!" Lenora yelled, but it was flustered by Zoey.

"Zoey, finish Lillipup off with a Dark Pulse!" Kirby yelled, as Zoey started to charge black aura outside of his mouth and fired a series of dark rings towards the Lillipup, hitting it dead on and defeating it, all of Kirby's Pokemon cheered for their victory and Zoey ran towards Kirby and tackled him. Kirby laughed at Zoey's actions but panic as all the others did the same and Rammus getting out of his Pokeball to celebrate as well.

"Lillipup." Lenora sad in a sad tone but was smiling, as the Pokemon stood up and cried, "Don't worry, this just proves we have to get stronger." she said, petting it and returning it back to it's Pokeball. Lenora got back up and smiled at Kirby, who was petting all of his Pokemon and took off his hat and put it back inside the bag, she walked up to Kirby holding Lillipup's Pokeball while Hawes was going to bring the badge, "You did well Kirby, but I didn't expect that Lillipup to be a Zorua." she said. Kirby stood back up while his Pokemon got behind him.

"To be honest, I forgot about Zoey's ability and thought I released Rammus by accident." Kirby said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Well Kirby, you prove to me that you have mysterious ways to battle with your Pokemon, but you believe them no matter what, didn't you?" Lenora asked. Kirby smiled and pet Zoey and Rammus.

"These two may be trouble makers but no matter the Pokemon, I have to believe in them to bring out their best." Kirby said, as Zoey snickered and Rammus growled.

"You do have unique Pokemon." Lenora said. Kirby nodded as his Pokemon tackle him down and started to play with him. Hawes came back after five minutes and had the badge in the plate giving it to Lenora to present it to Kirby, who stopped playing with his Pokemon to earn his badge, "Alright Kirby, this is the Basic Badge. Keep fighting by believing in your Pokemon." Lenora said.

"Alright!" Kirby said, get grabbed the badge and couldn't contain his excitement anymore and got into position with the badge held high with his hand,

(Kirby's Victory Dance song play here(Or watch video I guess))

Kirby tossed the badge in the air the started to dance all of a sudden, he did a spin jump at first then cart wheeled to the left then hop back to place while spinning on his side then landed to walk in place for a bit the walk backwards while waving his arms then did three spin to roll on his back to spin three more times to stand back up with one leg and extend his hand to catch the badge.

(End of Victory Dance)

Kirby's Pokemon started to laugh at the act Kirby displayed, especially Lenora, who couldn't help but laugh with his Pokemon, making Kirby feel embarrassed and grabbed his badge case to put it inside it. He smiled, admiring the case, "Two down, Six left to go." Kirby said, putting the case back inside the bag and smiled at Lenora, "Thank you for your time Lenora." he said, as Lenora waved goodbye to Kirby and his Pokemon.

They got to the Pokemon center to heal everyone after training a bit in the field and the battle they had with Lenora. Kirby had a thought while his Pokemon were healing, 'Maybe, just maybe.' Kirby thought and told Nurse Joy to take care of his Pokemon while he was gone, she asked what for, but all he said that he was going to research something and went towards Museum again. He saw Hawes and walked up to him.

"Kirby, what are you doing here?" Hawes asked him, Kirby jumped up and whispered something into his ear and caught his attention and nodded. He leads him to the secret library and told Kirby that it will be closed at 7:30 PM and he nodded, going to a bookshelf and with a title, "Elemental Candies." Kirby took it, got out 18 pieces of paper, a pencil, and started to write down ingredients to make the candies for himself.

7:30 came by and Kirby went back to the Pokemon Center with all the papers filled from top to bottom with research and put it inside his bag. He met up with Echo and Eva, grabbing all his Pokeballs, and left the Pokemon Center.
