Ok, revamped Chapter 3; Feeling the Aura! Last time, Tyson and Alexis traveled out of Santalune Forest and caught their first Pokemon, Scatterbug and Fletchling respectively. Now, the duo has finally arrived in Santalune City for Tyson's first gym battle.

Tyson's team

Froakie, (m), level 9: Water Pulse, Bubble, Pound, Quick Attack

Fletchling, (m), level 9: Aerial Ace, Peck, Razor Wind, Quick Attack

Alexis's team

Fennekin, (f), level 8, Flamethrower, Ember, Scratch, Howl

Scatterbug, (f), level 6, Tackle, String Shot, Bug Bite

"It's training day!" Tyson exclaimed as he and Alexis walked through Santalune City.

"So, where are we going to train?" Alexis asked as they sat down, looking at the giant stone Roselia water fountain

"I was thinking either Route 3 or Route 2-"Tyson stopped and fell on the ground, holding his head in agony. Help me. A weak voice called out. Before he knew it, Alexis had sat him up with a wet cloth on his head.

"Are you okay?" Alexis asked, concerned about her friend's well-being. Tyson began to stand up and dusted himself off. He gave a reassuring smile to his friend to let her know he was okay.

"I'm fine Lexi, don't worry," Tyson stated as he handed her the wet cloth back.

"Okay," Alexis answered back, knowing Tyson wasn't telling the truth. "Maybe Route 3 would be the perfect spot for training." Tyson however, grinded his teeth in pain once more by the sound of the faint, crying call. Please….Help….Me. The direction of the voice steered Tyson in the direction of Route 22.

"I actually have a better idea," Tyson said as Alexis turned to face him. "Why don't I train at Route 22 why you go at Route 3?" Tyson suggested as Alexis nodded her head yes. "We should meet back at the Pokemon Center around 3 o'clock."

The duo looked at each other before splitting ways.

"Use Flamethrower Fennekin while Scatterbug, use String Shot to swing from tree to tree!" Alexis instructed as her starter blew a strong breath of fire at Scatterbug, who avoided it by moving from tree to tree. Both of them was looking good. A couple more moves and then we can work on the appeal part. Alexis thought as a smile crept on her face.

"Stun Spore Scatterbug while Fennekin use Psybeam to block it!" Scatterbug sprayed orange powder at Fennekin while she fired a purple and pink mixture beam that not only blocked the Stun Spore but, hit Scatterbug. As Scatterbug took the hit on, she began to glow blue as her form began to change.

Scatterbug became 'bigger' and had white fur with scales on them. Alexis took out her Pokedex to scan Scatterbug's change.

Spewqa, the Scatterdust Pokemon. The beaks of bird Pokémon can't begin to scratch its stalwart body. To defend itself, it spews powder. New move: Protect

She smiled as she ran up to Spewqa and picked her up, struggling since she put on some pounds since evolving. "You evolved!" Alexis yelled the obvious. Fennekin ran up to use and barked in excitement. Now, how am I going to use Spewqa in a contest? Alexis thought as she didn't think a heavy Pokemon like Spewqa could even battle or perform in a contest.

"Aerial Ace Fletchling!" Tyson commanded as he was trying to test his Pokemon's movesets. His shiny bird flew towards Froakie but he jumped out the way in the last second. "Froakie, use Quick Attack and Pound!" he instructed as my starter sped up towards Fletchling and tried to swing at him.

"Use Peck to counter it!" Fletchling's peck glowed as he hit Froakie's Pound and both flew off one another. "Nice job you tw-"Tyson stopped as I heard the same cry in his head. "Help….me….please…."

Tyson grabbed his head in pain as it just kept echoing in his mind. Froakie and Fletchling looked at him with concern shown on their faces. I need to find whoever is calling out to me. Tyson thought as he pondered about what he should do. So, he sat down on the floor and closed his eyes. Somehow, he was able to see a small blue Pokemon running from a Beedrill. Tyson thought it was a wild one until he saw a man behind it. He had a large overcoat on and his face was covered by shadow. The only thing that was shown was an evil smirk he had by chasing that Pokemon.

"Follow me guys!" I yelled as my two Pokemon chased after me.

Whoever it was, I was going to help it. Tyson thought as he began sprinting in the direction of saving that Pokemon.

Alexis sat in the Pokemon Center with Spewqa and Fennekin as they just finished getting healed. It was 3 o'clock and he hasn't shown up yet. Alexis stood from her seat and was about to walk out the door to look for him until two people stopped her.

One was a tall young lady with sandy blonde hair. She wore a plain white shirt with green shorts. Also, she had brown boots with green laces and a camera around her neck. Most noticeable, she had a medium sized beautiful butterfly with pink, blue, and white wings perched on her shoulder.

The other person was the same height as Alexis but with a lot of differences. For one, he had spiky blonde hair pointing upwards. He had a blue shirt with a yellow jacket over it and yellow shoes. He had a yellow and blue backpack on his shoulders. Just like the lady, he had a small blue and black cub with a yellow star as his tail.

The coordinator took out her Pokedex to see what these Pokemon were.

Vivilon, the Scale Pokemon. Vivillon with many different patterns are found all over the world. These patterns are affected by the climate of their habitat.

Shinx, the Flash Pokemon. The extension and contraction of its muscles generates electricity. It glows when in trouble.

The lady moved up and smiled at Alexis. "My name is Viola, and I'm the Santalune City Gym Leader." She stated as her Vivillon moved towards Spewqa and played with her. "You see, Vivillon evolves from Spewqa," she informed me as Alexis started to daydream about having a Vivillion on her team.

"My name is Bolt Wilson and I'm from Lumiose City," the kid stated as he looked at Alexis. "Professor Sycamore deemed me with the task of making sure you and Tyson Pernell make it safely to his research lab." He almost seemed arrogant as he thinks that Tyson and I need a body guard. Alexis thought as the kid identified as 'Bolt' smiled.

"Where is Tyson?" Viola asked as Alexis told her he went to train for his battle against her on Route 22.

"Let's go to Route 22 then and find him!" Bolt exclaimed as he and his Shinx ran out the door. Viola and Alexis followed him on his way to Route 22.

Tyson kept running around Route 22 until so could find that weird Pokemon. Out from some bushes, a small blue and black Pokemon fell in front of him and my team. Tyson took out my Pokedex to finally see what this Pokemon is.

Riolu, the Emanation Pokémon. It uses the shapes of auras, which change according to emotion, to communicate with others.

Does that mean Riolu and I have the same aura? Tyson thought as he picked the Riolu in his arms. After that, Riolu spoke to Tyson once more. 'I knew you would find me.' Tyson smiled and nodded as he turned around to get out of this Route. That's when a Beedrill made his way in front of him.

"So, you're Riolu's savior?" a voice asked as the man Tyson saw before stood behind his Beedrill.

"Yes I am!" Tyson yelled protectively as Froakie and Fletchling made their way in front of him. "The only way you're getting Riolu is by getting through me!"

"No problem," he said calmly. "I'll teach you not to mess with a Lieutenant of Team Genez!" he yelled as Beedrill started jabbing the air with his stingers, ready for battle.

"Beedrill use Poison Jab!" the man shouted as his bug pivoted both stingers aimed at Tyson's two Pokemon.

"Fletchling, take Froakie in the air!" the bird grabbed the frog in order avoid the attack. "Froakie, come down hard with a combination of Quick Attack and Pound!" Tyson commanded as Fletchling let Froakie go as he sped down and knocked the bee right on his head. Beedrill stumbled to the ground but quickly regained his balance.

"Pin Missile right now!" the man instructed as Beedrill fired green darts all over the field. Luckily, Froakie and Fletchling dodged the attacks but one was heading towards Riolu and his savior. Riolu jumped out Tyson's arms and launched a blue sphere that blocked the attack. In Tyson's pocket, his Pokedex started to vibrate.

Move: Aura Sphere. The user loses a blast of aura power from deep within its body at the target. This move is certain to hit.

Tyson looked at Riolu with astonishment as Riolu fell back on the ground. Clearly, Riolu used up the last of his energy on that Aura Sphere. Tyson thought as he resumed to picking the Riolu up in his arms.

"Bravo little Riolu," he said as he then pointed at him. "I hope you realize that you're not going anywhere with that Mega Stone around your neck!" he shouted as Tyson looked at Riolu. He had a little brown sack tied around his neck. Could the Mega Stone that the man was referring to be in this pack? This is gave me the more reason of why I need to protect this Riolu. Tyson thought as his resolve grew stronger.

"Use Pin Missile once more!" he shouted as Beedrill fired the familiar darts. My Pokemon dodged the attacks once more but, I think he was hopping that would happen. "Now use Aerial Ace!" Beedrill dashed and hit both Froakie and Fletchling while they were still in dodging mode. They feel to the ground with a thud as Beedrill fired another round of Pin Missiles, without his trainer's command!

The green darts blasted Froakie and Fletchling right in front of me but both had been very injured. "Now use Solar Beam," he instructed as Beedrill charged up a green orb in the air. If that attack hits, Froakie and Fletchling will lose! "Fir-"he was about to say 'fire' until a breath of fire but Beedrill on the ground.

"Nice Fennekin!" a female's voice applauded as Alexis and two other people ran next to Tyson. "Tyson, are you okay?" she asked as he nodded his head. I returned Froakie and Fletchling to their Poke Balls as I knew back-up has arrived.

"Now your battling me you punk!" the lady with the dirty blonde hair announced as her butterfly-like Pokemon flew in front of her.

"Gust pronto!" she commanded as her Pokemon flapped her wings and blew a gust of wind at Beedrill.

"I expected more from the gym leader of Santalune City Viola," he said as Tyson looked at her. "Dodge it and use Aerial Ace!" Beedrill moved in the opposite direction of the wind and struck the bug with enormous power.

The man then walked up in front of Beedrill and smiled. "My mission was to get the Lucarionite from the Riolu and maybe snag that along with me," he said as he held his right arm. "Looks like I'll be getting a Vivillon, Fennekinn, and Riolu! Capture on!" he shouted as he pushed his heavy coat up and revealed a cannon like bracelet. He aimed it at Riolu and me knowing he would get his initial target first.

"Double Thunderbolt!" the blonde kid shouted as his cub and yellow rat blasted the laser with blue and yellow electricity that canceled the laser. "You're dealing with Shinx, Pikachu, and me buddy! Spark right now!" he instructed as his Shinx hit Beedrill with a blue electricity tackle that knocked it out. Tyson took out his Pokedex to look at Pikachu.

Pikachu, the Mouse Pokemon. This Pokémon has electricity-storing pouches on its cheeks. These appear to become electrically charged during the night while Pikachu sleeps. It occasionally discharges electricity when it is dozy after waking up

"What! Beedrill!" he cried as his Pokemon fell to the ground, unconscious. Tyson looked at Shinx and his trainer with shock. Even with two Pokemon, I couldn't take Beedrill down. Tyson thought as he

"Now what?" he questioned as his Shinx growled at the man. However, he just chuckled.

"Right with my previous battle with that kid," he started pointing at me. He grabbed Beedrill's Poke Ball and returned him to it. "I contacted my people to pick me up. And they should be here any minute." Right on cue, a giant black helicopter hovered over us. It had a black G on it with a purple line across it. A ladder was dropped in front of the man. He grabbed it and look at Shinx's owner.

"My name is Brett." He finally announced as we all stared at him as the ladder elevated Brett. "Next time we meet Blondy, I want a rematch!" he screamed as the helicopter took him away.

"My name is Bolt Wilson! Don't forget it!" the identified kid know as Bolt yelled after the man.

After relaxing for a few hours after that event, the trainers talked to the police about Team Genez and Lieutenant Brett, they filed a full investigation on this matter.

"Thanks again for saving us back there," Tyson said as the kid watched Alexis groom his Shinx.

"Anytime!" he replied as he ran his hand through his spiky blonde hair. "Sycamore did want me to make sure you get to his lab safely."

"Or so you remind us," Alexis said annoyed as Bolt still smiled.

"So, do you have any more Pokemon at the moment?" Tyson asked as Bolt just stared at the wall.

"I only have Shinx and Pikachu at the moment," Bolt answered as the traveling duo looked at him. "And my dream is to become an Electric Type Master!" he proclaimed as Shinx and Pikachu yelped in response.

Nurse Joy then walked with her assistant, a fat pink Pokemon with a Pokemon Center tiara on her head.

Wigglytuff, the Balloon Pokemon. Wigglytuff's body is very flexible. By inhaling deeply, this Pokémon can inflate itself seemingly without end. Once inflated, Wigglytuff bounces along lightly like a balloon.

Her and Joy pulled a cart with Riolu sitting up. Riolu jumped off and hugged Tyson. "Thank you" he said in his mind. "Always buddy," Tyson replied. He then broke free of Riolu's bear hug and looked at the sack around his neck. "Can I?" Tyson asked as he shook his head yes. He snapped the rope free and took out whatever was in it.

It was a small orange sphere with a blue and red leaf in it. Riolu starred at it deeply as Tyson put it back in the sack.

"Ready?" Alexis called as Tyson got up from my seat. They made their way towards the receptionist's desk. Both of them put their Pokedex in the set as a choices appeared on our separate screens. There was Kalos League, Kalos Festival, and Both circles. Tyson tapped the Kalos League part and a black badge case with the Pokemon League sticker was on it came from another part. He looked over at Alexis to see a pink ribbon case come out her part. We both grabbed our cases and Pokedexs.

"I heard you were trying to become Kalos League Champion," Viola started as Tyson turned to face her. "Why not come at 12:00 P.M. tomorrow and we'll do a 3vs3 battle there." She smiled at me before exciting the Pokemon Center.

Tyson wanted to call out and tell her he didn't have a third Pokemon but he heard, "What about me?" Tyson looked to see Riolu standing behind him. He smiled at Tyson and he realized what Viola was talking about.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to win my first badge!" Tyson screamed as Riolu jumped in the air. Alexis and Bolt grinned at him as he knew going to sleep tonight was going to be hard.
