Pokemon XY

Legends of Kalos

Chapter 3

New Challenges

Alex woke up early, earlier than usual anyway. The first night had been horrible, but the second day was starting out well enough. The sun just peeking through the gray clouds and the wind had stopped blowing. He had gotten dressed in his spare clothes and had checked everything over. He was wearing a Banette beanie this time around, seeing as his Umbreon one was still soaking wet. He could still hear Yvonne getting ready in the bathroom, so he took the time to talk to his Pokemon.

"Well you two, last night was less than desirable, but we still have a mission. We have to challenge the Santalune City Gym. We won't be traveling alone, as Yvonne has suggested we travel together. We'll traveling at least until we reach the city. You two need to be in tip top shape for that battle."

"Taillow Tai!" the tiny swallow cried, a firm look on its face. Vixen however was still a little nervous. So she remained silent, putting on a brave face as she listened to her trainer's words.

"Now, Yvonne was also nice enough to give me some information about the gym leader's Sirskit. It has Ice beam as one of its moves, so we'll have to be careful with that move, especially you Taillow, seeing as you are weak to ice type moves."

"Low." the green bird cried.

"As for you Vixen, we need to make sure you are comfortable battling. I know you get nervous but we'll have to push through those nerves and fight hard. Can I count on you to try?"

"Vee." she said with a shy nod.

"Good. You two return for now." he said, holding their Pokeballs out to them. Once they were both called back into them, he placed them on his belt. He grabbed his pack, slinging it around his shoulders.

The bathroom door opened and looked up to see Yvonne, who had finally gotten dressed. Her hair had been brushed free of knots and curled at the ends, and her black shirt had been ironed. She fixed her skirt and slipped her shoes on her feet, kneeling down to tie the laces.

"Could you hand me my hat?" She asked, looking up at Alex.

He grabbed the felt hat that was on the bedside table. It wasn't anything fancy, just a plain pink felt hat. She finished tying her shoes and stood up, taking the hat from his hands. She flipped it around with ease placing it on her head. Alex was actually impressed by that act, since whenever he attempted it, his hat would end up on the ground. She dug her hand into her bag, pulling out a pair of white framed glasses, placing them on the brim. She took a hold of her bag, placing it around her shoulder.

"So, what level of training do you have?" She asked, making sure she had grabbed everything from the room. Alex sighed, glancing at the floor.

"I just started training." Alex replied.

"You will definitely need a lot of work then. I suppose I can spare some time, seeing as we are both heading to Santalune anyway." she replied, pulling her PokeNav from her bag.

"You'll really help me out? We just met and all." he said, a look of surprise on his face. He wasn't expecting someone he had just met to outright help him out.

"Listen, you look like a good kid. You got a strong aura about you, like you'll get far in life. You'll only get far if you are willing to train for it. So if you are willing to train for it, I'll help you." she said.

"Wow I uh...thanks Yvonne. I wasn't expecting you to go out of you're way for a guy you just met." he said.

"I come from a family of strong trainers. My father was once part of the Hoenn elite four. My mother was the head of the battle tower in the Sevii Islands in the Kanto region. I have a lot to live up to...I figure I can help some other trainers while I work my way to the top." she said with a smile.

"That's really cool of you Yvonne, helping starting trainers out is a noble thing to do. I really appreciate your help. We should go the faster we get out there the faster I can start training." he said. She nodded, following the boy out of the room.

Around an hour had passed after leaving the Pokemon center. The paths had at least dried up a bit from the rain the previous night, but it was still a bit muddy. Few pokemon were scurrying around looking for food, while others were finding shelter for the day. Alex was too busy looking around, the sheer awe of his surroundings keeping him distracted from everything. Yvonne on the other hand was looking at her Nav, mapping out the distance they had before the next village. She closed the device looking at Alex, who was glaring at a few trees. She followed his gaze, seeing a group of Swirlix hanging just around the largest bough of the tree.

"Interested in catching one?" she asked.

"Not really, some Swirlix ended up stealing my cotton candy yesterday. They put my Taillow to sleep and stole my cotton candy. I sort of lost interest in training one after that." he said.

"That tends to happen a lot here, Spritzee is most likely a better choice for you. However those can't be found in this area of Kalos." She said.

"Hmm, I'll have to search for one later on then." he said, pulling out his Pokedex. It wasn't a bad idea to do some quick research.

"Well, this seems like a good spot as any. We passed the fountain around an hour ago, and we're not that far from Serenity Village. I say it's time for some training." She said.

"Right now?" he asked.

"Yes right now. First, I want to have a battle with you. I need to see how you and your Pokemon communicate. Communication is key when it comes to Pokemon training, if you don't have it, you won't get far. I'll have you face one of my new captures." she said, pulling a pokeball from her bag. She tossed it up and it snapped open, revealing a small gray rabbit Pokemon.

"Bunnelby." it cried in greeting.

Alex looked at it curiously before pulling out his Pokedex. Yvonne rolled her eyes. She had been the same way when she got her Pokedex, though the novelty wore off a bit, she still managed to scan most of the Pokemon she saw, though she was a bit subtle about it.

"Bunnelby, the Digging Pokemon. These Pokemon use their ears as shovels to dig through the ground. Soft dirt or even hard dried out dirt is no match for this Pokemon."

"A normal type...I bet it has access to ground type moves. Okay then, Taillow I choose you." he called out, sending out his flying type. Taillow cawed loudly as a greeting, glancing at its opponent.

"Hmm an interesting choice. I was thinking you'd send out Vixen...nevertheless, lets begin. Bunnelby, use Quick Attack!" she called out. Bunnelby sprung forward, bounding as fast as it could toward Taillow, who never took its eyes off of it.

"Now Taillow, use Double Team." he said. Taillow glowed a bright white, only for multiple copies of itself to appear around Bunnelby, not knowing which one to attack, the Digging Pokemon stopped in its tracks, trying to use its ears to locate the real one.

"Use Mud Shot to find the real one." she ordered. Bunnelby gave a nod and jumped up, forming several brown orbs of mud between its ears. It tossed them forward, hitting most of the copies around it. All of them fazed out of existence, surprising the two.

"Where did it go?" Yvonne asked, looking around.

"Now then Taillow, use Air Cutter on Bunnelby." Alex called out. Taillow shot out from behind the tree it was using for cover, flapping its glowing wings. With a loud cry, the tiny swallow sent out the glowing shurikens, striking Bunnelby dead on. The rabbit pokemon skid across the ground, using its ears to right itself.

"Be." it cried, pawing the ground.

"I wasn't expecting that. Is this your first battle?" she asked.

"No not really, I actually battled someone yesterday when I was in Lumiose city. I also saw some battles online as well." he replied, quite confident in his abilities.

"So, you are well read on the topic at hand. Bunnelby use Take Down."

"Bunnelby." it cried, rushing forward as fast as it could. Taillow easily dodged it and flew right after it.

"Taillow, use Peck." he said. Taillow quickened his pace, flapping his wings harder than before. His beak glowed a vibrant blue in color as it gained speed.

"Bunnelby, dodge it and then hit it with Double Slap."

Bunnelby quickly jumped into the air and started to spin rapidly, using its ears to dig into the ground. Taillow, almost slamming into the ground quickly took to the air, eyes keen on looking for the missing Pokemon. Bunnelby surfaced behind it, ears glowing brightly.

"Bunby."

Slam! Taillow was struck full force, slamming into the ground below. It cried in pain, still stunned from the unexpected attack. Alex grit his teeth. He was starting to sweat from nervousness, not knowing what was going to happen next. He glanced at his pokemon, concern on his face.

"Taillow, are you alright?" he asked.

"Low Tail." he cried, shooting back into the air.

It was a little scuffed up, but he knew the small pokemon wasn't about to give up yet. His eyes narrowed a bit as he started thinking of an idea. He looked around the battlefield for something he could use.

"Well if you aren't going to attack, then I'll take it as my cue to go. Bunnelby, Double Slap once more." Yvonne called out. Bunnelby sprung forward, ears once again glowing brightly.

"What do I do? How do I avoid this?" Alex thought to himself, looking around the field. His eyes fell on the holes in the ground, a smirk working its way onto his face. He snapped his fingers and looked at Taillow, who was eagerly awaiting his next command.

"Into the hole Taillow, before he gets too close." He said.

"Taillow." He cried loudly, shooting off into the hole in the ground. Bunnelby slammed his feet down hard, forcing himself to stop.

"After it Bunnelby, and when you get close use Take Down." Yvonne cried out.

She was surprised at the fledgling trainer. She hadn't been expecting Alex to pull such a tactic. On the inside, she was nervous that she would lose the the battle. She had won plenty of battles, but those were with friends, who were easy to read. She didn't know anything about Alex or the strategies he could come up with. Telling his Taillow to dive into the hole was one of those things she wasn't expecting.

She was taken aback when several Taillow shot out of the hole. Bunnelby came out of the hole as well, trying to find the real Taillow. The real one who ever barreled into his back, wings glowing brightly. Bunnelby slammed into the ground, wind knocked out of its lungs.

"Great job Taillow. The double team was a nice touch." Alex added.

"Tai." he cried out in response, a look of joy on its face. Yvonne shook her head and recalled Bunnelby to its pokeball.

"That's it, Bunnelby couldn't take anymore after that. You're good, better than any starting trainer I have previously met before. You and Taillow are in perfect sync." she said. Taillow landed on Alex's shoulder, preening its wings.

"Are we?" he asked, glancing at his Pokemon who chirped softly.

"Of course you are, you could give others a run for their money. If you two fought me without previous knowledge of you catching him, I would have thought you and Taillow had been together for years."

"Thanks! I guess the two of us clicked." he said. He smiled brightly, glad that his little buddy was such a strong battler.

"This battle isn't over yet. Now lets see how Eevee battles, Fennekin, its your turn." she cried out, tossing her second Pokeball, from it emerged a small yellow fox Pokemon, with a fluffy orange tipped tail.

"Fennekin." it cried, releasing a few embers from its mouth. Alex once again brought out his Pokedex, scanning the pokemon into its data banks.

"Fennekin, the Fox Pokemon. Its large roomy ears are used to vent the heat that forms in its small body. Often times, it will release small bursts of fire from its mouth. It loves eating sticks and small twigs."

"So this is the fire type starter of the Kalos region. Gotta say, its really cute." he said.

"Fen." the small fox cooed, happy to be praised.

"Your turn Alex, call out Vixen." Yvonne said, a small smile on her face. If Taillow had been a tough Pokemon to deal with, she really wanted to see how Vixen would hold up.

"Battle time Vixen." he called out, tossing his Pokeball into the clearing.

The snapped open with a loud pop, releasing the small Eevee. She looked around for a second, letting out a loud yip of fear. It raced back to where Alex stood and dove behind his legs, burying her face in her paws.

"Vixen...we're in the middle of a battle." he deadpanned.

"Vee Vee Vee." she cried, though it came out a bit muffled. He knelt down beside the small fox, stroking the soft fur around her neck.

"Come on girl, it's just Yvonne and her Fennekin. We have to train for our battle in Santalune and they offered to battle please Vixen?" he asked.

Vixen peeked through her paws, glancing at Yvonne who had a warm smile on her face. She finally got over her nerves and walked into the field, though she was still shaking a bit.

"Sorry about that Yvonne, lets start things off with Swift Vixen." he called out.

Vixen gave a shy nod and sprung forward, swinging her tail as hard as she could. Glittering stars flew toward Fennekin, who easily dodged them. They didn't even make it near the fire pokemon.

"Quickly Fennekin, counter with Ember." Yvonne said, issuing her first attack. Fennekin jumped up, the orange fluff around its ears glowing bright orange. It opened its mouth, releasing a wave of glowing embers with a cute yip. Vixen tried to dodge them but ended up taking the brunt of the attack, yelping in pain.

"Vixen, are you alright?" He asked, concerned for his partners well being. The Pokemon nodded, shaking her head.

"Follow up with a Howl."

"Fennekin." the small fox howled, it glowed a bright orange, its attack having increased.

"Howl raises attack, we have to watch out for that alright?" Alex said, earning a small nod from his partner. She pawed the ground, eyes firmly on her opponent.

"Now, hit it with a Sand Attack." he called out.

"Vee." Vixen replied, lobbing some sand at Fennekin. It didn't even come close to hitting its target. Fennekin looked back at Yvonne, its head tilted in confusion.

"Alex...is something wrong? None of her attacks are making contact." Yvonne said. He sighed, glancing at his shivering partner.

"I guess she's still a bit nervous about battling the two of you. Vixen, please you have to take this seriously...how are we suppose to win a badge when you are too nervous to fight?" he asked.

"Vee." she cried out, burying her face in her paws. He sighed and returned her back into the Pokeball, shoving it in his pocket.

"I've assessed your Pokemon enough Alex. I can see your strengths, and your weaknesses as well. Taillow loves to battle and will definitely jump into one on your command. Vixen however...we need to work with her a little bit. She won't be able to bring out her full potential if she hides all the time." Yvonne said, earning a nod from the trainer. He sighed.

"I agree there. I wasn't expecting her to be this nervous though..she wasn't like that when we fought Taillow." he said, glancing at the Pokemon who was still on his shoulder.

"Some Pokemon are nervous by nature...she may not be a battler at all so forcing her to battle will result in less than desirable effects. The best way is to ease her into it, but the way I see it, she isn't ready to battle right now. At least not at the gym." she said.

"So...I have to catch another Pokemon then?" he asked.

"Yes...it's not such a bad idea when you think about it. Catching new Pokemon broadens your horizons, and it opens up possibilities. I currently have four Pokemon in my party, and I only started a month and a half ago. I'm not telling you to build a team yet, but just try to find a Pokemon capable of battling when you need it. At least until Vixen gets over her nervousness." She said.

"I can do that. There are some interesting Pokemon on this route too, I might be able to find something I can train for the time being. The river looks interesting, and I do need a solid water type." He said.

"I can help you with that. How about we set up camp here, and while I start lunch, you can look for a water Pokemon in that river?"

"Sounds like a plan. Taillow, why don't you help Yvonne out for a bit? Gather some sticks for the fire."

"Taillow." he cried in agreement, taking off from his shoulder.

Alex headed to the rivers edge and knelt down before it, looking into the clear running water. He saw his reflection looking back at him...he was quite surprised with himself. He pushed his glasses back a bit, since they had been slipping down his nose. His hair hung over his eyes a bit, and he brushed it aside. He pressed his lips in a thin line.

"Have I changed that much already? There is nothing of who I was here...just Alex." he muttered dryly.

While it was true that he didn't look like the person he used to be, it was also a breath of fresh air. He no longer had to worry that his father would find him. Eventually, he'd have to return, but at the moment, he wasn't going too. He wished to visit his grandmother, but she was all the way back in Aspertia city. His aunt lived in Ecruteak city, his real home town. He sighed and looked at the sky.

"I promise to make you proud mom...I know this is what you want me to do. To find true happiness training Pokemon." he said. He was suddenly sprayed in the face by a Pokemon. He fell back, stunned for a few seconds. He took off his glasses and wiped his face, eyes focusing on the Pokemon that had gotten him wet.

"Keh." it cried out.

The Pokemon was a star, which was tan in color. It has a glowing red gem in the center of its body. Alex took out his Pokedex and scanned the Pokemon before him. Its image appeared on screen, the mechanical voice filling his head.

"Staryu, the Star Shape Pokemon. These Pokemon are often seen at the bottoms of lakes and oceans. The red gem on its body serves to tell a Staryu's age. It is said that if the gem cracks or breaks, the Staryu in question could possibly lose its life."

"What is a rare Pokemon doing all the way up here I wonder?" he muttered.

"Keh." it cried, unleashing a water gun from its top point. Alex sprung to his feet, dodging the attack.

"Taillow...I need your help buddy." he called back. Yvonne looked up from her cooking, quite surprised to see a Staryu of all Pokemon. Taillow set down the sticks it was holding and shot to his trainer's side.

"Now Taillow, attack with Peck." Alex called out.

"Taillow Tai." the small Pokemon replied, flying forward at the Star Shape Pokemon. Staryu fired another around of water gun at Taillow, but it expertly dodged them, barreling its glowing beak into its side. Staryu quickly regained its footing and jumped into the air, spinning rapidly.

"That's Rapid Spin, dodge it Taillow, follow up with Air Cutter." Alex cried out.

Taillow swiftly dodged the attack, only for Staryu to spin around and change its path, heading back toward the small swallow. Taillow quickly unleashed his Air Cutter, the attack managed to stun the star.

"Excellent. Wing Attack Taillow, hit it hard."

"Taillow!"

His wings glowed brightly as it shot forward, it spun around slamming the side of its wing against the red gem on its face. Staryu let out a pained groan and fell to the ground, the gem glowing brightly. Alex pulled out a Pokeball and maximized it, a smirk on his face.

"Now you are mine, Go Pokeball!" he called out, throwing the ball as hard as he could. Staryu tried to get away, but it fell to the ground, allowing the ball to hit it. The ball fell to the ground, shaking violently as the Pokemon inside it was trying to break free.

"Come on come on come on." Alex muttered, praying to Arceus that it would stay in the ball.

The Pokeball shook vigorously, the Pokemon within threatening to break free. Finally, after a few tense moments, the sphere stopped shaking, making him smile widely. He grabbed the ball from the ground, holding it up high.

"Ha ha, I just caught a Staryu, alright!"

"Taillow Tail." Taillow cheered loudly, flying around his trainer. Alex held his arm out, allowing the small swallow to land on it.

"Nice job Taillow. You did great during that battle...now we have a new friend. We are so winning this gym battle." he said proudly.

"Taillow." He cried in agreement.

Alex threw the ball up, letting out his new capture. Staryu looked worn out, but it stood proudly before its new trainer. Alex pulled a Potion from his pack and started spraying the Pokemon with it.

"Sorry about the battle buddy. My name is Alex and this is Taillow..we're training to be the best in all of Kalos. Would you like to come along with us?" he asked.

"Keh." Staryu replied, giving a few happy blinks.

"I'll take that as a yes." he said.

"I'll say..Staryu are rare Pokemon already, but to see one this far from the ocean, it's a little weird." Yvonne said, once they had returned to their little camp site.

"Where I come from, Staryu usually hang out near the surf. A lot of kids end up accidentally taking baby Staryu home, thinking their actual starfish. I can't tell you how many times that happened to me." he said with a smirk.

"Really now? Mind explaining?" she asked.

"Oh uh...sure I guess. I have an older sister, and she's a curious one. When my mom took us to the beach, she would end up playing in the water most of the time, while I normally built sand castles with my mom's Eevee. One day, she took a Staryu home with her, of course we didn't see it until she was taking a bath. Mom thought it was a toy and when she grabbed it, it started to move. That's when shit hit the fan, essentially."

"Let me guess, it started Rapid Spinning around the room?" She asked.

"With an added Water Gun for good measure. Mom ended up having to capture the poor creature, just until she was able to get it home. We didn't go to the beach that much anymore. I don't think Audrey wanted to go there anyway." he said.

"Reminds me of my friend Shauna, when we went to Ambrette Town a few summers back. She ended up swimming a little farther than all of us, and when we tried getting her to come out, she ended up dragging a Dragalge with her. Though at the time, we thought it was some kelp...boy were we wrong." she said with a laugh. Alex looked at her confused before he took out his Pokedex, looking up the Pokemon she mentioned. Once its picture was displayed, he let out a laugh.

"I can see why. I wouldn't want to bring one of these out of the water with me. A Poison/Dragon type huh? I might have to catch one of these later on."

"Well, what happened to your sister? Is she in the region with you?" she asked. Alex looked down closing his Pokedex. He shook his head.

"Me and Audrey had a fall out a few years ago. She's the headstrong sibling..even though she is a year and a half older than me, she's pretty much my twin. She's pissed when I'm pissed, happy when I'm happy and sad and I'm sad. Our mother passed away three years ago, when she was hit by a speeding car. Audrey didn't speak much after that. One day she packed her stuff and left...I haven't seen her since." he admitted, a frown on his face.

"I'm so sorry Alex...I shouldn't have asked something like that." Yvonne said, running a hand through her hair. She felt really bad about prying into his life now. He chuckled and shook his head, taking out some food bowls from his pack.

"No no. I'm not mad or anything...I sometimes let these emotions get pent up inside me. I miss both of them dearly, but I know Audrey will come find me when she feels ready. I don't blame her for anything...If I had the choice to leave, I would have."

"The choice? You didn't have a choice?" she asked.

"Sorry, that's something I will absolutely never talk about." He said, the edge in his voice firm. She nodded, dropping the subject.

"Where do you think she is now?"

"My sister? I wouldn't be able to tell you...she's definitely not in Johto anymore. She made it obvious that she didn't want to collect badges, don't know if she ever decided to train Pokemon. If anything, I'd say she's probably in the Orre. The region north of Johto. No one ever travels there, there's nothing around." he said.

"I wouldn't be so sure of that, even though Orre has no wild Pokemon, its become quite the tourist destination. The Orre League is apparently one of the best around. It only has five gym leaders." she said.

"Really, that's impressive?" he asked curiously.

"Not a lot of trainers have been successful in getting badges from there. My uncle Sycamore knows the gym leader of Phenac City, and he says that kid is too tough to beat. His Espeon and Umbreon are too well trained. He's also an Ex-Cipher member."

"Interesting...I might just have to visit Orre after I'm done here in Kalos. I might even get a good challenge." he said with a smile.

Thoughts of exploring a foreign region and facing strong trainers, it was an amazing feeling. He was also thinking of all of the Pokemon that at one point must have lived there. He hummed to himself, getting lost in thought.

"What's that face for?" Yvonne asked curiously.

"Well, I was thinking of the Pokemon that must have lived in Orre. Recently, there have been some developing habitats. Something tells me a big event happened, driving the Pokemon away." he said.

"Oh really, what event would that be?" the auburn haired girl said, now suddenly interested.

"Comparing some of the known areas of Orre to some located in the Hoenn region, I have reason to believe Kyogre and Groudon fought there. You see, they're the legendary Pokemon of Land and Sea. They have fought countless times, being stopped by Rayquaza whenever they threatened the balance of the world. But what if Rayquaza didn't stop them in time?" he asked.

"The battle would rage on, destroying everything in sight. It would also explain why most of the Orre region is desert, because Groudon used it as a battlefield to fight Kyogre!" Yvonne said.

"Yup yup, on top of that. There were some temples found in Orre with ancient writing detailing the events of this battle! However they weren't conclusive. Still the fact that these two mythical pokemon could have fought here is fascinating." he said excitedly.

Yvonne glanced at the young boy, quite surprised in what he was saying. He almost spoke like her uncle in a way. He was very passionate about Pokemon Mythology. It was impressive to see someone so young interested in something like that, a topic she honestly found boring.

"This is interesting and all but going back to your sister, did she ever have an interest in anything?" she asked.

"Audrey? No...she was a sweet girl growing up, but as soon as she turned thirteen, she started getting an attitude. She never spoke badly around mom, but when we were alone, or with our friends, man...she had the mouth of a sailor." he said, chuckling a bit.

"I wasn't expecting that. Hey, if you want, I can ask my uncle about her...he may be able to track her down." she said.

"I dunno about that. If she left and hasn't made an effort to come see me, that means she doesn't want to speak to me." he said.

"Right...but its been how long already? Isn't it about time you two bury the hatchet and make up? Siblings shouldn't fight."

"Why are you so interested in helping me find my sister? I'm a little curious about this." he said. She sighed, looking back at the pot of stew she had been stirring for a while.

"My mom and my uncle had a falling out as well..but theirs has been around since before I was born. My father left on a journey and hasn't returned, Uncle Sycamore got really mad at my mother for getting pregnant with a man who wouldn't take care of me. They were both still in school mind you. One thing led to another and he left...he was in Sinnoh until recently, when he was made the regional professor of the Kalos region. To this day, they don't even speak to each other. I know they miss each other, but their both too stubborn to freaking say something. I'm just his niece, I can't make him go see her."

"Seems like we both have something in common. Our families are filled with very foolish people." he said with a chuckle. He let out Vixen, who shyly hid behind his leg. He picked her up and set her in front of her food bowl, rubbing his fingers through her fur.

"Shh..its okay...its just Yvonne. She isn't going to hurt you...we also have a new friend, say Hi to Staryu." he said, pointing to the new addition. Staryu gave a few blinks in greeting, not easing the small fox in the slightest. He sighed and shook his head. Vixen ended up facing away from everyone, staring at the river as she ate.

"Well...she isn't hiding behind me anymore...so that's a plus." he said.

"She'll get used to us eventually. Now that you have Staryu, its time to start training even harder. We have two days until we reach Santalune, so you better have a strategy by then."

"Don't worry I will. I already have a few revolving Sirskit's Ice beam and how to counter it." he said, a small smile on his face.

"I can't wait to see it then. Lunch is almost ready, so sit tight alright?" she said. He gave her a nod and sat down by his Pokemon, already explaining the strategy he had come up with.
