My Pov

I managed to make it to Sandgem Town and it didn't take too long to find Professor Rowan's lab. I walked in and saw the professor.

"Hello. I'm Cinder Ketchum." I said.

"Yes, I'm aware. Come with me." Professor Roman said. I walked with him to a table that had two Pokéballs. "The Water Starter, Piplup, has already been taken. The only ones left are Turtwig and Chimchar." He left both of them come out. Turtwig looked like a turtle and Chimchar looked like a monkey. "Which do you want?" Since I chose Chikorita in Johto and Mudkip in Hoenn, I decided to choose...

"Chimchar." I said. Chimchar looked around and then looked at me with hopeful eyes. I picked it up and nuzzled it. I was given a new PokéDex and Pokéballs. I headed out toward Jubilife City. My Chimchar, name Chipa, was riding on my shoulder. I decided to look up her data.

"Chimchar, the Chimp Pokémon. It is very agile. Before going to sleep, it extinguishes the flame on its tail to prevent fires." the PokéDex said. Chipa jumped off my shoulder. I looked in the direction she was and saw a bird Pokémon sitting on a tree branch. I pointed my PokéDex at it. "Starly, the Starling Pokémon. Because they are weak individually, they form groups. However, they bicker if the group grows too big."

"Well, might as well catch it. Chipa, use Scratch!" I called. She lunged at it and scratched the Starly. Starly used Quick Attack and hit Chipa. "Use Ember!" Small ember came from her mouth and hit Starly. I threw a Pokéball at it and captured it. Chipa was really hurt. I picked her and the Pokéball up and ran to Jubilife but then something jumped out in front of me. I pointed my PokéDex at it.

"Shinx, the Flash Pokémon. The extension and contraction of its muscles generates electricity. It glows when in trouble." the PokéDex said. Chipa jumped out of my arms and began using Scratch and Ember on Shinx. I captured it and again hurried to Jubilife.

"Chipa, I don't know what you're trying to prove, but don't try to take on Pokémon when your hurt." I said. I could see Jubilife when I heard a familiar voice.

"Well, well . If it isn't Cinder Ketchum." a mocking voice said. I turned to see my rival, Crystal Sanders.

"Look Crystal. A lot of my Pokémon are hurt. I need to get them to the Pokémon Center." I said. I felt Chipa starting to squirm. I tighten my grip on her.

"Looks like that one has some fight in it. And what about your Eevee? Did it wise up and find a better Trainer?" Crystal asked, 's it. I took Hoppy's Pokéball and threw it. "Oh, so you still have. Go Bidoof!" I pointed my PokéDex at it.

"Bidoof, the Plump Mouse Pokémon. A comparison revealed that Bidoof's front teeth grow at the same rate as Rattata's." the PokéDex said. It didn't seem that fearsome.

"Bidoof, Rollout!" Crystal demanded. Bidoof curled up and started rolling toward Hoppy.

"Hoppy, jump then use Iron Tail to knock it off balance." I instructed. Hoppy jumped in the air and slammed his steel tail on top of Bidoof causing it uncurl and fly in the air. "Now use Swift!" Yellow stars shot from Hoppy's mouth and hit Bidoof, causing it faint. Crystal returned Bidoof to its Pokéball and sent her second Pokémon out. It was the Starter I hadn't picked; Turtwig.

"Turtwig, the Tiny Leaf Pokémon. The shell on its back is made of soil. On a very healthy Turtwig, the shell should feel moist." the PokéDex said. Chipa squirmed free and took Hoppy's place.

"It's pretty bad if you can't keep control of your Pokémon." Crystal said.

"Chipa, your hurt! You may have the advantage, but not the stamina to fight." I said.

"Chim! Chimchar!" Chipa exclaimed. That's when some kind of red aura surrounded her. I remembered that the Fire Starter Pokémons' ability was always Blaze, which increased the power of their Fire moves when their health was low.

"Turtwig, knock it out with Tackle!" Crystal exclaimed. Turtwig charged forward.

"Chipa, use Ember. Full power!" I shouted. Ember shot from Chipa's mouth, much more powerful than before and instantly knocked out the Tiny Leaf Pokémon. Crystal returned Turtwig to its Pokéball.

"Just you wait! I'll beat you sooner or later!" Crystal declared. She ran off. I then hurried to the Pokémon Center and got everyone heal. Well, my adventure is going to be much more challenging now that Crystal was here.
