Hey guys! School blows, so sorry this took so long to get up! Anyways, let's rock and roll!

The agent leapt across the rooftops, his scarf flowing behind him with each jump. The air was somewhat brisk this time of night, nipping at his round ears. His eyes darted around the cityscape, narrowed, searching. Weavile would return soon enough with news, he was sure of. Whether the news was good or bad depended on fate at this point.

An anxious Weavile slammed in front of the waiting agent startling him.

"Weavile,the agent hissed. Don't do that! You nearly made me fall off the building!"

"Sorry,The Weavile responded simply, arms crossed.

"Well? What did you find?" The agent said after staring at Weavile impatiently.

"Where they've been holed up for the past month," Weavile stated with a smirk.

"That's incredible! Where is it?" The agent asked quickly, practically jumping with joy.

"Follow me," She said still smiling, lunging off the building, running full speed.

"It's all lead up to this." The agent smiled, sprinting after Weavile.

"I didn't know that was a shortcut...Calvin stated with a sweat drop, referring to their falling down the cliff. Goomy giggled, rolling about on Calvin's head.

"We're already almost in Cyllage City!" Calvin said with amazement. He walked with a slight limp, and his arms were possibly infected from the grime on his bandages.

"Brand new Ariados gauze too..." He said sheepishly, looking at his arms.

Goomy said something in Goomish, but Calvin couldn't guess what he was trying to say.

"I wish I brought my Pokedex... It was an older model, sure, but at least I could understand what you're saying," Calvin stated with a sigh. He looked up at Goomy, who was sticking his tongue out at Calvin and laughing.

"Maybe I don't even want to know what you're saying... " This caused Goomy to nod his head with a giggle.

"So you're making fun of me, eh? In case you forgot, I saved you! So I think I deserve a little respect!" Calvin huffed, smiling a bit. Goomy only rolled his eyes, laying back down on Calvin's head.

"Why would you even rest up there?! It can't be comfy, and-" Calvin stopped talking for a second, and stuck his ear out.

"Do you hear that?" He shrieked, startling Goomy. "It's the Ocean!"

The city molded into the mountains just as Calvin had remembered, giving the feel of a rural yet bustling city at the same time. The moon cast a dim light on the waves crashing into the shore, a salty breeze wafting through their nostrils.

"I miss this place," Calvin said with a sigh, breathing deeply. Goomy looked around somewhat drowsy, the aura of Cyllage soothing him to his gooey core. A few people were bustling about riding bikes, waving at Calvin as they passed.

"This place has gotten friendlier since I remember," he smiled, wincing as he did so. "I need to get to the Pokemon Center..." Calvin gazed at his surroundings, not having the faintest clue as to where to go. He walked down a quiet street, stumbling every once in a while as he did so. Calvin suddenly leaned against a bench, panting.

"Goomy," Calvin stated, holding his head. "I feel dizzy..."

"Goo?" Goomy jumped down from Calvin's noggin, looking him in the face.

"I... think I might..." were Calvin's last words before he collapsed, his head hitting the bench. A cloud of black enveloped his eyes, his ears picking in and out.

"Goo?"

.

.

"Goo!"

.

.

"Whoa! Is he...?"

"Stay with...

buddy

.

.

... alright?"

"Hey!"

.

"Can you...

.

.

right?"

.

.

"HELP!"

Calvin's hearing tuned in and out, hearing dabbles of conversation.

"How is he Doc?" a young, gruff voice asked with concern.

"Just fine sir. Don't worry," A female responded.

Opening his eyes slowly, Calvin peered around, blinking in two's.

"Hello?" His voice cracked slightly, eyebrows raised.

"Oh!" The man shouted, jumping to his side. Calvin just now realized he was back in a bed in the back of a Pokemon Center.

"How many damn times," he started. "Am I gonna end up in here..." He finished sweat dropping.

His eyes adjusted, staring directly at the dark man inches from his face.

"Calvin!" The guy smacked him on the back with strength unparalleled.

"GAH," Calvin screamed, slumping back down in his seat. "Why'd you-" A pause ensued. "Wait... Grant, is it?" Calvin smiled looking at him.

"That's right! I saw you collapse like an imbecile... However the mighty Grant saved the day once more!" He boasted.

"He sure did," The nurse piped up, cheery as usual despite the amount of injury and sickness associated with the job. "Dunno what would've happened to you without him taking his usual nighttime patrol."

"Oh, well, thanks." Calvin rubbed his head sheepishly, eyeing his fresh arm bandages.

"What brings you to town in the first place?" Grant said with wonder in his voice.

"I-" Calvin looked down to the floor, wondering whether or not to say his real reasons. "I need to get some, eh, more badges," he said, saying mostly the truth.

"What happened to the League?!" Grant shouted, standing up in ridiculous fashion.

"I, er, couldn't compete. Some unknown rule..." Calvin lied.

"How preposterous! Well, in honor of you never giving up, allow us to travel to the gym this instant!" Grant started toward the door.

"Oh, he needs to rest, Mr. Leader," Nurse Joy said.

"He'll be fine." walked out the door briskly, greatly excited.

Calvin looked between the door and the angry-eye of the nurse stamping her foot.

"I'll be fine."

The mountain was much taller than Calvin had remembered. He panted heavily from the exhausting climb, staring at Grant.

"Why couldn't I use the elevator?!" Calvin stammered accusingly at him.

"You have to climb it just like everyone else. Just because you're a guest of honor means nothing!" Grant yelled with a toothy grin.

"For saying that," Calvin stood, cracking his back. "I'm going to destroy you."

"That's what I like to hear!" Grant shouted, jumping back and forth. "Since this is your first badge, of this year anyway, we are only permitted one Pokemon!"

"I'll have to extensively decide on who to pick based on my massive amount of Pokemon!" Calvin lied boldly.

"Is it the Goomy on your head?" Grant asked with a sweat drop.

"Goomy GO!" Calvin shrieked, his cheeks turning red as Goomy flipped over his head.

"Amaura, let's cool this guy down! He's looking a little hot!" A small blue dinosaur leapt from a rock, bellowing a low groan of approval. "Aurora Beam!" Amaura's gems at the side of its' body glowed a faint white, and released a beam of energy from his mouth.

Goomy flung himself out of the way just in time for the ice move to miss.

"You know my team, so why'd you bring a Dragon?" Grant asked teasingly.

"Use the goo!" Calvin shouted. Goomy flicked the slime at Amaura, getting pumped. A rock shot up from the ground protecting him, getting blasted with the gunk in the process.

"Why'd you make this crumby gym out of rocks?" Calvin asked just as teasingly.

Amaura ran around the side of the rock, releasing a light blast of electricity that stung Goomy.

"Goo...my..." Goomy said mid paralysis.

"You can fight through it Goomy!" Calvin cheered. Goomy collapsed to the ground, jerking randomly.

"No, Goomy! You have to get up!" Calvin pleaded.

"As much as it pains me to do this, a Leader's job is never easy. TAKE DOWN!"

"That'll be super effective because of Amaura's refrigerate ability!" Calvin remembered.

"Goomy c'mon! Get up!"

Goomy's eyes darted back and forth and saw Amaura charge at him. He closed his eyes tight, accepting his fate. With a slam, Amaura smacked into Goomy. However, the attacker slid right off of his body, getting slime all over himself.

"What just happened..?" Calvin asked dumb struck.

"It's Goomy's ability! It must be Gooey!" Grant exclaimed. "Amaura's attack slid right off! Not to mention he's now covered in that nasty crap!" Amaura struggled to move, falling down again and again.

"Well," Calvin scratched his head. "In that case, let's teach them a lesson! Goomy, have some fun!" Goomy charged up his signature Draco Meteor, and unleashed it's full power directly at Amaura.

"No!" Grant shouted as his Pokemon flew into the rock he had previously summoned. The rock shattered, pieces flying in all directions. Amidst the crumbling remains was an Amaura unable to battle.

So Calvin successfully defeated Grant! WOOT WOOT. Next chapter is either the Battle Chateau or the Palace, so stay tuned :D
