It had been four hours since Nils, Tana, Ren and Firenze left Celadon City and the four of them decided to take a break from their trip to the Unova Festival. During the break, the group let out all of their Pokemon for fresh air and so they could play.

"You both have some interesting Pokemon Firenze and Ren," said Tana who had not seen their Pokemon before,"

"Thank you," said Ren who accepted the compliment."

A few minutes later, the group ended their break, returned their Pokemon and resumed travelling. Just then, the group encountered Rex who noticed them from nearby and walked to them.

"I thought I felt a disturbing presence," said Rex who looked at Nils uncomfortably.

"What do you want Rex," asked Nils who was bothered by what Rex just said.

"Do you know this guy," asked Tana.

"This is Rex," introduced Firenze, "He's a trainer that only believes in battling those he thinks are strong."

"He's also the trainer that started out with Charmander while we took Bulbasaur and Squirtle," added Nils.

"He's also very rude," added Ren.

"Why should I be nice to the weak," asked Rex who was bothered by the introduction he just had," "By the way, he said to Tana, "I'm guessing you have Squirtle?"

"He's a Wartortle now but yeah," responded Tana, "Also, I won't let someone think my friends are weak and get away with it." "I challenge you to a battle."

"What makes you think you'll be a worthy opponent for me," asked Rex.

"Well just to get your attention," said Tana, "I am the daughter of the president of Ketchum co.

Rex was shocked over what he just heard while Ren and Firenze were not because they were already told about the fact back in Celadon City.

"Power doesn't come from blood," said Rex after recovering from the shock, "But I suppose having a battle with Ketchum co's heiress might be interesting," "I accept your challenge."

Tana and Rex then took their distance from each other while Nils, Ren and Firenze sat at the side.

"This will be a three on three battle," said Rex, "Go Charmeleon," and a Charmeleon was sent out.

"So Charmander evolved," thought Nils.

"Go Wartortle," said Tana who sent out Wartortle and the battle began

"Use Smokescreen," said Rex," and Charmeleon used the move of choice which lowered Wartortles accuracy.

"Use Water Pulse," said Tana but Wartortle couldn't hit Charmeleon with the move.

"Fire Spin" said Rex and Charmeleon trapped Wartortle with the chosen attack. "Now Fire Fang," and Charmeleon hit Wartortle with the move of choice which caused a burn.

"Use Water Pulse while it's still biting you," said Tana and as commanded, Wartortle used an up close and super effective Water Pulse which gave Charmeleon a lot of damage and sent it flying.

"Use Scratch," said Rex" and Charmeleon recovered and used the selected move which defeated Wartortle.

"Wartortle return," said Tana as she returned Wartortle. "You were great take a good rest." "Go Scyther," and Scyther was sent out.

"Really," asked Rex, "A Bug Type against my Fire Type?"

"If you haven't noticed," said Tana, "Wartortle gave Charmeleon a lot of damage because his ability, Torrent was activated when that Water Pulse hit." "Scyther should be able to finish off Charmeleon."

"Alright then," said Rex, "Use Fire Fang," and Charmeleon used Fire Fang which Scyther dodged.

"Use Quick Attack," said Tana and Scyther used the move of choice which knocked out Charmeleon.

"Return," said Rex who was upset over the loss, "Go Gloom," and a Gloom was sent out.

"Use Wing Attack," said Tana and Scyther landed the super effective move on Gloom.

"Use Acid," said Rex and Scyther got hit by Gloom's attack from up close which knocked Scyther down. "Use Acid again," and Gloom hit Scyther with acid once again,"

"Use Wing Attack," said Tana and Scyther use the selected move which knocked out Gloom.

"Return Gloom," said Rex who returned his Gloom, "Go Snubbull," and a Snubbull came out.

"Use Quick Attack," said Tana and Scyther started using the move of choice.

"Use Hadbutt," said Rex and Snubbull hit Scyther with Headbutt at the same time it was hit by Quick Attack.

After the collision, Scyther went down and was defeated.

"In case you were wondering," said Rex, "Acid lowered Scyther's defence which allowed it to be finished off by one Headbutt."

"Return Scyther," said Tana who returned Scyther, "You were great take a good rest." "Go Hippopotas," and Tana sent out Hippopotas.

"Use Headbutt," said Rex and once again, Snubbull used Headbutt which hit Hippopotas.

"Use Yawn," said Tana and Hippopotas used the selected move on Snubbull.

"Use Dazzling Gleam," said Rex and Snubbull started to use the move of choice.

"Use Dig to dodge," said Tana and as ordered, Hippopotas dodged Snubbull's attack with Dig.

After the miss, Snubbull went to sleep due to Yawn and then got hit by Dig.

"Use Sand Tomb," said Tana and Hippopotas used the chosen move which trapped the sleeping Snubbull.

"Come on get up." said Rex who knew he was going to lose if Snubbull didn't wake up.

"Use Dig again," said Tana and Hippopotas once again used Dig.

Snubbull then woke up but then got hit by Dig which knocked it out which made Tana the winner of the battle.

"Well done Hippopotas," said Tana.

"Potas," said Hippopotas who was happy for the victory.

Rex then returned his Snubbull and made a frown.

"I'll get you next time," said Rex who then left.

"That was a great battle Tana," said Nils who hugged his fiance.

"Thanks Nils," said Tana who was satisfied with her victory.

"Anyway," said Firenze, "Let get back to heading for the festival."

And with that, the group continued their way to Darto Town for the Unova Festival.
