"Treecko! Lotad! Bullet Seed!" ordered Brendan as his pokemon faced a Zigzagoon and Shinx. The gecko and the weed shot a barrage of small brown projectiles aimed at the unfortunate pokemon but the Shinx recovered and dashed at Lotad. Brendan called out to Treecko to intercept and finish of Shinx in which he did.
EAT THIS! Treecko cried out as it performed a pound on the poor Shinx's head effectively knocking the pokemon out.
"Yeah! We've won!" Brendan cheered as he grabbed his pokemon and swung them around, the other trainer sighed as he returned his pokemon and left. His two human companions, May and Dawn, looked at him dully.
"Seriously Brendan you look like a dork… We're nearly at Petalburg City" Dawn muttered as she and May turned to move on to Petalburg city. Brendan made a face and gritted his teeth, he set his two pokemon down.
"May, Dawn" Brendan called out before pausing for dramatical effect, he pulled himself into a pose, pointing at them, "I challenge you to a pokemon battle! Double battle!"
Dawn and May looked at each other before nodding and took out their pokeballs releasing a Torchic and Piplup, Treecko and Lotad jumped in front of Brendan.
"If you lose, don't go crying back to your mommy!" Brendan taunted as his pokemon nodded in agreement. Dawn gritted her teeth but May wasn't fazed by the comment.
"Ha! As if old man! Torchic Ember" May shouted
"Let's use bubble Piplup!"
"Alright men! Take them down with Bullet Seed!"
Treecko and Lotad shot a barrage of seeds as Piplup and Torchic shot their own projectiles. The attacks clashed and the pokemon charged at each other, Torchic shot out first and her tiny legs swiped at Lotad and soon Piplup joined the beat down knocking Lotad out. Treecko pulled back while firing seeds in order to make distance between his opponents.
"Not so high and mighty are you now?" May taunted as Brendan returned his Lotad looking a bit alarmed. The white-hair boy scanned the battlefield before directing his final pokemon.
Here we go! shouted Treecko as he rushed at the red chicken and fired seeds at the blue penguin. Piplup attempted to dodge but several seeds landed on the unfortunate penguin. At this point when Torchic braced for Treecko's attack, the green gecko suddenly rushed towards the recovering Piplup before striking it down with a Quick Attack. Piplup struggled to get up but Treecko pounded her knocking the water starter unconscious. May, startled by the result ordered her starter pokemon to use ember, but Treecko slammed into Torchic with another quick attack.
"Alright Treecko, we've got it in the bag, finish it of with Bullet Seed!" Brendan shouted as victory was etching on his face. Treecko gave out a war cry before spitting his seeds (That didn't come out right) at the hapless chick. Torchic tried to dodge the seeds but she fell at her condition.
"Oh yeah! Who's da man?" Brendan cheered as he did the victory dance and his ego grew. May and Dawn returned their pokemon with disgusted looks before leaving Brendan. Brendan kept on cheering with his pokemon until…
"Hey! Wait for me!"

The three arrived at Petalburg City, Brendan, clueless about May and Dawn's negative feelings about him. The city was quite a small one, a few large buildings of companies, apartments, restaurants and several more. Of course that is not the only thing, May managed to catch a Wurmple as Dawn caught a Pidgey (She wants a Pidgeot). It also came to shock that May and Dawn signed up for Pokemon Contests instead of the Hoenn League. By sundown, the three reached a building with a large 'P' on it, stating that it is a pokemon centre.
The three entered the pokemon centre to find that several people along with their pokemon lounged there. Some pokemon had bandages over limbs, some people eating at the canteen, Chansey's running around holding medicines and a lady with a nurse uniform at the counter.
"Hi Nurse Joy, we would like two rooms and our pokemon healed please" May said as the three trainers laid their pokeballs on a metal tray, a Chansey took pokeballs and headed to another room while Nurse Joy brought two key cards. Bidding the nurse a goodnight, the three sluggishly headed towards their respective rooms (May and Dawn in one room, Brendan in the other).
Brendan flung himself on his bed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. They say that the Petalburg gym leader was none other than the legendary Norman Maple, May's father. He continued staring at the ceiling, until a soft knock was heard from the entrance of his room.
"Come in"
The door opened to reveal a Chansey holding to pokeballs, the pokemon waddled in and placed the pokeballs on a nearby desk.
Your pokemon is fully heal and are ready to battle, have a nice day Chansey said before leaving the room. Brendan picked up his pokeballs and released his current party, Treecko and Lotad.
"Okay guys, Norman is the gym leader of this city, we're gonna train like no other before, catch some pokemon and stuff like that. You guys are my family and I know you are not gonna fail me, so my brothers, tomorrow night, we stand and fight" Brendan shouted as he clenched his fist and his eyes burned with passion, his pokemon did the same thing. The stomach of Brendan suddenly grumbled.
"After we get something to eat first" Brendan said as he and his pokemon left the room.

Brendan and his pokemon strolled through the streets in searching for a place to eat. Sometimes his pokemon would point to a location but Brendan refused and continued searching. At last they came to a stop at an 'All-you-can-eat' Buffet. The three joyously ate their meal before making it to the outskirts of the city to train on wild pokemon.

The next day.
"Where here" May said as Dawn and herself arrived at a large building with the letter 'G' on it. Brendan was nowhere to be found, in fact, Nurse Joy had told the two girls that he left very early in the morning. The two entered to see a boy with white hair commanding a sea bird Pokemon against a black haired- man with a red jacket using a kangaroo like pokemon.
"Dad!"
"Mr. Maple!"
The two girls ran to meet the man, Mr. Maple, or known as Norman. The three exchanged greetings before the boy with the white hair shouted, "Can we continue?"
The two males nodded and begin to battle.
"Wingull, let's use Water Gun!"
"Kangaskhan, dodge it!"
"I didn't know Brendan had a Wingull" Dawn muttered to May, who nodded.
Kangaskhan side-stepped the Water Gun attack and launched itself against the seagull, Wingull in turn charged in with a Wing Attack. The two clashed leaving Wingull knocked out at Kangaskhan's feet. Brendan returned his pokemon and switched to another pokeball.
"Ugh, okay Lotad, time to bring the Kangaskhan down, GO!" Brendan shouted as he tossed the pokeball revealing the water weed pokemon.
Lotad launched of with a Bullet Seed attack, but Kangaskhan easily dodged the attack and charged in with a Slam.
"Lotad! Hold your ground and use Absorb when it's close enough" Brendan shouted as he saw the incoming attack, but the water weed pokemon was knocked away, Lotad started glowing and soon its body changed.
"Alright! A Lombre!" Brendan cheered. Norman congratulated the cheering boy before continuing the battle.
"Kangaskhan, Body Slam!"
"Lombre, Fury Swipes!"
The two pokemon charged at each other, only to get the water weed pokemon knocked out. Brendan made a face and grumbled, returning his pokemon.
"You're the last Treecko, let's go!" Brendan said and he threw out his last pokeball into the battlefield to release a gecko pokemon.
"Treecko, use Quick Attack and follow it up with a hit and run Bullet Seed!"
Treecko complied and darted towards Kangaskhan's head, the gecko retreated immediately after he landed the attack and started shooting seeds. The kangaroo pokemon roared in irritation and chased after the shooting Treecko, unfortunately for Treecko, Kangaskhan was too fast. The larger pokemon smashed into the starter pokemon knocking it far, Treecko quickly recovered and stood waiting for Brendan orders.
"Okay, Mr. Maple, let's finish this with one last blow" Brendan offered.
"Agreed"
"Okay Treecko, let's do this with a Quick Attack"
"Kangaskhan! Finish this with a Mega Punch!" Norman ordered.
The two pokemon once again charged, the two attacks clashed and both pokemon skidded on the floor with their eyes as swirls. Brendan sighed as he returned his respective pokemon before shaking hands with Norman.
"That's a good battle Brendan, you'll soon surpass me fairly soon!" Norman stated but he sweatdropped when the white-hair boy curled up with the words 'depression' slammed on his head.
"He can't take a lost like a man dad" May said as she and Dawn ran up towards the two males.
"Awww… shut it you old hag" Brendan mumbled and with wave, he left to heal his pokemon, May just stuck her tongue at the Birch and Dawn shook her head.
"After Brendan comes back, why don't we have lunch together? I can teach you the basics of pokemon soon" Norman offered and both girls nodded in agreement.
A/N it sucks huh… well … yeah it sucks, I think I need to clear my head before continuing the story.
