Pokémon translation
/Last time our heroes have made it to Nacrene City to challenge Lenore. After Whitney won her badge the battle was ended before Lenora could battle Blake because of Team Plasma breaking into the museum for a dragon skull and ran all the way to Pinwheel Forest. Teaming up with Mabel and Lenora our heroes have split up to take back what was stolen. Whitney has once again been challenged by N but the battle was interrupted when they were chased by Venipede and ended up getting lost in the forest and ended up staying the night outside with each other. The chapter ends with Whitney and N finding their way out thanks to a Petilil who has decided to join Whitney/
"Mean Look!" Lenora has trapped her opponent's pokemon.
"Guess we not turning back now, Tepi use Flamethrower" the strong flame coming from the pokemon's nose and straight at the watchog who dodged.
"Thunderbolt" Watchog shot electricity out towards the pig pokemon shocking it.
"Come on buddy you can do it I know you can" Blake said.
Tepig had been battling the swift footed Watchog for awhile now and was getting worn out. Tepi, not wanting to disappoint Blake stood on its feet again. With a cry he shot a rush of air from his nose.
"Flame charge!" he said and flames surrounded Tepi before charging full speed.
"Trip them up with Low kick."
Before Watchog could do it Tepi crashed into it with a heated Flame charge making her pokemon faint.
"Yes good job Tepi" Blake priased as Lenora returned her pokemon and just then Tepi's body started glowing. When the glowing stopped there stood a Pignite.
"Awesome" Blake said both he and Whitney pointing their pokedex at it.
Pignite, the Fire Pig Pokémon. Whatever it eats becomes fuel for its stomach. When it's angered the intensity of its flame increase making its movements become sharper and stronger.
"Wow Tepi you evolved!" Blake said also realizing Pignite was now a fighting type with the move Arm Thrust.
"I'm glad this gym battle is gaining more experience for you and your pokemon. And the final pokemon will be Herdier" she said summoning her final pokemon.
"Can you continue?" he asked his pokemon.
"Bring it!
"Ok Flame charge again" Blake said and in an instant it was off again charging at the herdier.
"Giga Impact." Herdier ran full speed and they both collided both of them falling back.
"Shadow ball." Herdier launched a black and purple ball at Pignite.
"Dodge and use flamethrower" Blake called and a strong flame came from it's nose and towards Herdier.
"Roar"
"Quickly, Arm Thrust!" Blake said remembering what Roar did.
With speed thanks to two flame charges Pignite's paws was glowing and was already slamming against the pokemon with speed and force continuously before Herdier could roar.
"Protect" a blue shield covered Herdier after being hit with many arm thrust.
When Pignite stopped the attack the shield went down. "Now Herdier shadow ball"
Pignite avoids the attack again "Arm thrust one more time and make it count Tepi!" Blake said seeing how tired his pokemon was and after multiple hits from Pignite the Herdier fainted.
"Well you've fought hard again today Blake. I am glad to present you the Basic badge" Lenora said handing over the shiny badge to him.
"I've got a Basic badge" Blake declared holding out the badge and Tepi happily stomped around for joy.
"You've earned a good rest" Blake added calling back his Pignite.
"You are amazing! You cleared out the team with one pokemon" Whitney said.
"Well good job trainers. You both are surly on the path to be great trainers" said Lenora who was impressed by these trainers. And as for helping me out I give you a Sun stone and a Leaf stone, I figure as trainers you will come across pokemon who will evolve using these stones." Lenora said offering them a little something for helping her out yesterday.
Whitney took the Sun stone knowing her Petilil evolved using it. "Thanks so much Lenora."
"Thanks a lot for the great battle" Blake added.
When the trainers left the building Mable was out to say goodbye. "You guys have definitely encouraged me to further my studies." Mabel said.
"Sure thing Mabel, you take care of yourself" Blake said.
"Don't get into trouble or anything" Draco called as they walked off into the distance.
"Now it's back to Pinwheel Forest" Draco said.
"This time I'm not getting lost" Whitney said and Blake nods.
"Nope, we are sticking together this time" Blake replied and Draco nods.
"So no getting separated ok?" Draco adds.
"Alright just in case we don't get lost…Petilil I choose you" she said calling out her little helper. The grass type pokemon looks up waiting for instructions.
"You helped me get out of the forest so mind helping us get out again so that we don't get lost?" she said and the pokemon nods happily glad to be of some help.
"I see, smart move" Draco said and the three of them along with Petilil moved on.
"So where did you say that N guy ended up taking you the other day?" Blake replied after awhile.
"Ah it was a huge tree where all sorts of pokemon gathered. We spent the night there and I met Petilil there" she said smiling down at the pokemon who had this bashful blush on her face.
"I see…it's a very nice calming place" Draco said recalling the tree by some information.
"Hey, Petilil would you take us to that tree? Please?" Blake said already had it in his mind he wanted to go there. The grass pokemon bashfully hid behind her trainer's legs.
"Aww…does she hate me?" Blake whined in realization.
"Oh she's very shy that's all" Whitney picked up her newly caught pokemon. "Would you kindly take us back to that tree from before?" she asked again and this time Petilil nods.
"Of course, follow me!" she hops from her trainer's arms and scurried off and paused to let them know she wanted them to follow.
"Are we really going to go off course?" Draco remarked.
"Aww come on!" Blake went after the grass pokemon with Whitney not far behind leaving the dragon trainer no choice but to follow them.
When they arrived Blake was speechless as he gazed up at the tree. It was a wonderful sight some pokemon were nearby but were doing their own thing, Pidoves were resting along with some nearby Cottonee floating around as well.
"Wow" was what Blake could come up with and suddenly an apple was thrown at his head causing him to fall in surprise. Draco snickered while Whitney looked in surprise.
"Really Draco? You try getting hit with a hard fruit" he said rubbing his head but of course he was annoyed Draco kept grinning.
"Sorry, that just came from nowhere."
"Who did that?" Whitney said as Blake was getting up.
The branches rustled above them and a Pansage dropped down with an apple in hand, grinning wildly before laughing.
"So it was you!" Blake remarked and points his pokedex at it.
Pansange, the grass monkey Pokémon. This pokemon dwells deep in the forest. The leaves on its head are known to relieve stress and will often share it with weary pokemon.
"This thing causes stress not relieve it" Blake grumbles and dodges from another apple throw. "You wanna go?" Blake exclaimed reaching for his pokeball.
A glint appeared in the Pansage's eyes and he beckons with his hands to bring it and gets into a battle position.
"Alright. Tepi!" he said knowing his fire type is a huge advantage. Pignite blows tiny embers from its nose, clearly ready for a fight.
"Hot headed Blake" Draco said thinking this Pansage is just as annoying as the trainer it was fighting and Whitney only giggled.
Pansage starts with a bullet seed.
"Flame charge!" Pignite rushes towards the pokemon head on but the grass monkey dodges with ease with a dig. "Careful buddy" Blake called and Pignite looked around but the monkey shot out directly below and landing a direct hit.
"Quick arm thrust!" while Pansage was in close range Tepi's paws were glowing and quickly landing multiple blows on the opponent.
Pansage leaps out the way and starts glowing red.
"It knows work up. Watch out it gives attack a boost" Whitney said as her Lillipup knew that move also.
"No problem." Blake said confidently. "Flamethrower buddy!" he said figuring a distance attack would be better after a work up. Tepi shot out a strong fire attack which collided with the grass pokemon and it faints from the strong fire move.
"Alright time to teach you some manners, you're mine!" Blake said throwing out his pokeball and capturing it. The ball wiggles around a little before it stops to signal a successful capture.
"Alright! We got a Pansage!" he said happily.
"Awesome work Tepi and Blake" Whitney smiled. Petilil jumped up and down in awe inspired by the battle.
"Blake rubbed his head where the apple hit him earlier. "He threw an apple at me, a pokemon who's that energetic needs to be mine" Blake said with a light chuckle.
"Oh Winney, Blake it's you." They look and Bianca had approached them, leaves all on her hat and some scattered on her clothing.
"Woah Bianca you look worn out" Whitney said brushing the leaves off her friend.
"Yea I've been out looking for pokemon to train my Minccino and it just learned thunder bolt" she said happily clutching at the pokeball which must have had her Minccino in it.
"Wow thunder bolt" Whitney said.
"Now that you mention it Lenora's Watchog knew thunder bolt…" Blake said.
"Yep, normal types have a wide move range so I figured why not. If I'm not mistaken your Lillipup and your Patrat can learn it." Bianca said as she fumbles through her pokedex. "Yep, you can" she said confirming herself. She then looks over at Whitney Petilil.
"Aww a Petilil! It's so cute!" she squealed and hugs it. "I wanted one but I kept running into Cottonee so I gave up, I should have kept looking" Bianca said and the Petilil happily accepted the affection from the trainer.
"She's my little helper as she knows this forest inside and out" Whitney said.
"Oh I want it! Let's trade, my Cottonee for your Petilil! Please Winney." Bianca begged with big green eyes.
"No way! I like my Petilil, go catch your own."
"But I tried!"
Meanwhile Draco found this amusing and nudged Blake "Who is she anyway?" he asked.
"Bianca, Whitney's childhood friend" Blake replied.
Bianca heard her name and turns only to realize Draco was there for the first time. "Oops sorry! I got carried away, I'm Bianca, Whitney's friend! Do you have any cute pokemon too?" she asked.
"Well I'm a dragon trainer…but as for now I have a good travel buddy Emolga" he said figuring his Emolga would be considered cute.
"Aww! I wanna see" she said.
"No thanks" he remarked and Bianca pouts.
"By the way Bianca did you beat Lenora's gym yet?" asked Blake to distract the girl.
"Oh yes! I did, I trained in this forest until my Tepig evolved so it could help me win" she said and took notice of Blake's Pignite.
"Oh my gosh did you evolve your Tepig too?" She exclaimed.
"Yes he evolved during the battle. Say mind helping me teach Patrat thunder bolt, it would be such a useful move" Blake said.
"How about you battle me! If you win I'll help you train your Patrat" Bianca said.
"Now we get to see who has the better Pignite" Blake said eagerly and Tepi stomps his feet on the ground, blowing out small streams of ember from his nose.
"This is getting off track" Draco sighed.
"A little battling is fun Draco" Whitney pats his shoulders. "Alright I claim referee!" she added addressing her friends.
"I have four pokemon this time! So how about I battle each of you with two pokemon. I want to prepare myself for the next gym" she said.
"Oh a gym is in the next town?" Whitney asked.
"Yes, Castelia City Gym leader, Burgh, specializes in bug type. With Pignite though I say you both should have a easy time" Draco said as he had gotten information on the next destination beforehand.
"I see" Whitney said realizing she felt behind as her cute Oshawott didn't evolve yet but didn't want to rush things yet anyway as Samu was still so cute.
"So will you both have a battle with me?" Bianca asked.
"Yes!" Blake and Winnie said.
"Blake let's go first, I choose Cottonee!" she said calling out her first pokemon Draco shook his head knowing very well if Blake used his Pignite it wouldn't stand a chance.
"Ok I choose you Purrloin!" he called out his first pokemon. "I want to save my Pignite for our awesome battle" he added which answered Draco's and Bianca's question.
"Alrighty then. Cottonee use razorleaf" she called.
"Dodge them Purrloin and use fury swipes!" he called and the cat pokemon nimbly dodges them with ease before lunging with claws outstretched.
"Cotton guard!" Cottonee's fluff expanded and created a fluffy defensive wall just before Purrlion collides with and bounces off.
"Yay good job!" Bianca praises.
"Assist!" Purrloin randomly selected attacked worked in Blake's favor as this time a flamethrower was selected and it manages to burn through the guard, colliding with the pokemon.
"Oh no Cottonee!"
"Use Fury swipes!"
"Poison powder." She called trying to gain an upper hand.
"Purrloin scratches with its claws while its cotton guard was down. Cottonee manages to shoot a puff of purple powder hits before fainting.
"Cottonee is unable to battle, match goes to Blake and Purrloin" Whitney said.
"Aww…return" Bianca calls back her pokemon though now the bit of poison takes effect as the Purrloin starts to not look well.
"Aww no, from the poison. Return buddy we will get you healed up" he said calling his pokemon. He looks to his Pignite who looked ready. "Ready for the final match?" he asked.
"Yep! Pignite let's do this!" she called out her pokemon.
"Tepi let's go buddy" he said calling forth his own starter.
"Flame charge!"
"Use Flame charge too Tepi!" The two Pignite's cloaked in fire charged at each other and they collided, and they pushed against each other and leaped away from each other.
"Arm thrust!"
"Dodge it! And use Flamethrower"
Tepi was faster and managed to avoid Pignite's arm thrust attack thanks to the flame charge and shoots out a flame thrower and it collides with Pignite.
"Defense curl" she calls out and her pokemon curls into a ball to raise its defense. The battle continued each Pignite trying to beat the other.
"Arm Thrust!" they both call out and their Pignites charge and each landing blows on each other and both collapse on the ground.
"Both pokemon are unable to battle. This match goes to Blake" Whitney said as Purrloin's previous victory earned Blake his win against the 2 on 2 battle.
"Wow that was a great battle!" Blake said excitedly returning his pokemon.
"Good job Pignite" Bianca said returning her pokemon as well. "And yes it was, I guess I have some training to do" she said.
"Same." Blake said.
Bianca turns to her friend. "Mind battling me now?" she asked.
"I'll take over as referee" Draco said leaning against a tree.
"Ok Minccino!" Bianca calls out her pokemon.
"Alright Petilil want to try a battle?" she asked her pokemon as it was already out from its ball.
"Let's go!" Petlil got into position, energized from watching the battles.
"Sunny day" she called and a bright orb is formed into a bright mini sun.
"Minccino show off that charm with an attract!" she called. Minccino winks and pink hearts swirls around Petlil but vanishes with no effects.
"What!" both her and her Minccino had a surprised looks on their faces.
"Don't you know? Petilil are always female. Let's use a solar beam" she said taking advantage of Sunny day's effect as Petilil quickly formed the energy it needed from the sun orb and fires a blast of energy.
Minccino falls to the ground and gets up puffing its cheeks out. Whitney laughs "This Minccino is yours without a doubt" she said as it reminded her of Bianca's pouting as a kid.
"Don't say that. Double slap Minccino" she calls and swiftly moving it slaps Petilil with its tail over and over.
"Leech seed." A small seed shoots from her and lands on her opponent. She seed sprouts vines that wraps around Minccino before absorbing energy.
"Oh no Minccino…use thunder bolt" she said before her pokemon ran out of energy and when Minccino did her attack she did what Bianca hoped, he electric attack fried the vines from leech seed.
"Dodge!" Petilil barely avoids the electric move.
"Swift!" shining stars shoot out of Minccino's mouth and collides into the grass pokemon.
"Can you continue Petilil?" Whitney asked her pokemon who gets back up and confirms for her trainer. "One more Solar beam!" she said noticing the orb was slowly fading.
"Let's not give it a chance Minccino lets do a tickly attack!" she said and the Minccino rushes for a stalling attack but the light orb still had enough energy for Petilil to quickly absorb energy and fire just as Minccino approached closer causing it to faint.
"Minccino is unable to battle, Whitney is the winner" Draco said with a smirk.
"Good job Petilil!" Whitney said scooping up the pokemon in her arms as the orb faded. "You had a good first battle" she said smiling and nuzzling her pokemon who returns the affection.
"Good job Minccino" Bianca recalls her pokemon. "Man Whitney you've gotten stronger. Let's do another battle. I call out my Munny!" she calls out her Munna.
"Oh wow we ran into those at the Dream yard" Blake said.
"I caught mine there too. It's too cute!" Bianca said.
"Well…I guess I choose" Whitney was unsure who to use.
"Come on let's go!" Bianca said ready to battle.
"Alright, alright calm down. I choose Blitzle" she called out and her pokemon.
"Alright Munny Defense curl!" Bianca called.
"Quickly flame charge!" she called knowing her pokemon should be faster and land an attack before it can raise its defense.
Sure enough Blitzle took off covered in fire and lands a hit knocking the Munna away.
"Munny!" Bianca called but the pokemon floated back up. "Yay! Psybeam" Bianca called and a colorful beam came of Munna's forehead.
"Dodge and use spark!" she said and Blitzle dodged and charged again.
"Yawn!" a bubble was about to form.
"Move out the way quick or you'll fall asleep!" Whitney called and Blitzle stopped in mid attack and moved out the way of the bubble and it popped in midair.
"Crap!" Bianca pouted.
"Quick attack let's go!" she said realizing she was in danger of a yawn because all her moves are physical and had to rely on his speed to make sure he didn't get hit with a yawn. Blitzle had circled around to avoid the attack and now became a black and white blur as he zipped around and tackles into Munna and it faints.
"Munna is unable to battle, the complete win goes to Whitney" Draco said being proud of the Blitzle he helped take care of in the daycare.
Blitzle rushed over to Whitney's open arms and accept her petting. "Good job Blitzle!" she said to it. "Return for a nice rest" she said calling back her pokemon.
"Nice job Munny" she said returning her pokemon and Bianca smiled and held out her hand. "Awesome job Winney, you and Cheren had gotten stronger that's for sure" she added.
Whitney shook hands with her friend. "You've met Cheren? How is he? And don't worry trainers and pokemon grow at their own pace" she said.
Bianca smiled "Well Cheren is already moving towards Castelia City. His team demolished mine though" Bianca said with a sigh. "He has this awesome Panpour that just wiped out my Pignite, that's why I was in the forest training my Minccino thunder bolt so it could stand a chance" she said.
"Panpour?" Blake looked up the pokemon in question and saw it was a water monkey who looked like his Pansange but was blue and had a different head. "Oh I see, I caught a Pansage" Blake said.
"Yea they can be found deep in the forest and they normally all travel together…." Bianca said. "Well as promised I will teach you thunder bolt…and if you want your Blitzle to learn it too Whitney" Bianca added in realization.
"Hmm…I guess it's no harm to learn a distance attack" she said looking at her pokemon. "What do you say? Want to learn thunder bolt?" she asked it and of course her pokemon nods and its mane flashes.
Draco sighs softly deciding not to rush to the next city "Well if its electric moves then might as well learn from an actual electric type" he said and calls out his Emolga who lands on his trainer's shoulder.
"AWWWW I want it I want it!" she said hugging it instantly. "Let's trade!" she squealed.
"No way, Emolga's my buddy" Draco said a bit irritated that she insisted on trading her pokemon away for a cute pokemon.
Emolga was being squeezed too tight and unleashed its own thunder bolt and shocking Bianca.
"Woah…it's really strong too" she said letting it go. "Alright Minncino let's go" she called back out her pokemon.
"Alright patrat!" Blake said calling out his pokemon.
Minccino winks and unleashes her attract making the other pokemon fall in love with it and it giggles cutely.
"Oi! Stop fooling around they want to learn thunder bolt" Bianca said.
Soon enough the other pokemon got back to normal and didn't know what happened.
"Well Blitzle is an electric type making it easier to learn it…but for normal types or any other type it won't come as natural" Draco said.
"Hey I'm the teacher!" Bianca whined.
"Anyway the pokemon has to store electricity within and bring it out. Emolga has pouches in its cheeks and Blitzle has its mane of course" Draco continued without paying Bianca any attention.
"Use thunder bolt to show Blake how its done" Bianca said knowing both their pokemon are normal types and didn't have especially made places for electricity to store. Minccino uses her thunderbolt attack and hits the grass nearby.
"Awesome!" Blake said.
"Now you and Blitzle will have to store the energy in his mane and has to release it outwards" he said and Emolga charged up for an electric attack and unleashes his attack on another spot on the grass nearby.
After awhile of practicing Blitzle was able to unleash a thunder bolt into a nearby bush which made Emolga cheer and Draco gave applause.
"Good work Blitzle" Whitney said.
"Aww man Patrat can only charge up…" Blake said with a frown and Patrat sighed tiredly.
"It's harder for normal types and it took awhile for Minccino to learn too, just keep working on it." Bianca said.
"Alright, we can practice some other time, return Patrat" he said calling back his pokemon.
"Well I'm off now. Work on that thunder bolt!" Bianca said rushing of with her Minccino in her arms.
"That girl is more of a handful than Blake" Draco sighed after awhile and Emolga nods its head as well.
"Hey!" Blake remarked back and Whitney laughed.
"Good point, they both are a handful…but they are both really fun" Whitney said patting Blake's shoulder and he laughed a little.
"Thanks, someone doesn't think I'm annoying" Blake said glaring at Draco.
"Oh come on you two, we got a long journey ahead of us" Whitney said and charging forward.
"Careful or you'll get lost" Draco said going after her with Blake.
The trio traveled in the woods and they discovered that it was in fact a pretty clear path and decided as long as they stuck to it they should be out of the forest in no time.
The forest began thinning out and they realize they were arriving and they noticed a huge bridge which amazed Whitney who's been living in Nuvema Town her whole life. "That's a huge bridge" she said and Blake gaped on in awe himself.
"Skyarrow Bridge, a very impressive monument that was built not long ago to help travelers easier travel to Castelia City" Draco said.
"So they used to take ferry rides across" Blake said looking smaller boats at mini docks.
"Yep, I say we rent a bike and ride it across the bridge. It will be a lot quicker" Draco points to the stands close by with a lineup of bikes and an older lady was standing there.
"Hello travelers I take it you want to get across Skyarrow Bridge" she states.
"Yes please, may we use three bikes to get across" Whitney said.
The woman smiled "Of course hold still" she said and ok a picture of them.
"Eh?" Blake said rubbing his eyes.
"It's easier that way. It's a small rent fee but if you choose to ride back from the check point across the bridge then you won't be charged again after the first couple of days. The pictures get sent there so that the people on the other side can remember you" the woman said.
"Oh ok" Blake said pulling out a red bike. Whitney chose a hot pink bike and Draco chose a blue one with his Emolga on his shoulders.
"We're on our way!" Blake said after they each paid their fee and he takes off down the bike path. The bridge was big enough to have a path for walking and biking and still have room for cars and trucks.
"The wind feels awesome!" Whitney said the wind pulling blowing her hair back but her cap fits perfectly.
"I haven't ridden a bike in awhile!" Blake said until a blue headband hits his face causing him to stop. "Where did this come from?" he questioned.
"Sorry! Thanks for catching my bandana!" they looked up to see a girl with blonde hair and grey eyes riding on a pink bike which had a basket on it and inside was a Lillipup with a pink ribbon tied on its neck. She came to a halt in front of them. And takes her bandana back and ties it on her head again. "Thanks again, I'm Lila by the way" she said to them.
"I'm Blake nice to meet you" he said eyes glued to the very cute girl in front of him.
"Oh thanks so much, this is my special blue bandana that was a gift" she said sure enough it was blue with a picture of a pokemon holding its fingers in a V shape.
"Oh no problem" he said rubbing his head bashfully.
"Hello I'm Whitney and that's Draco" she said pointing to her other friend.
"What is that pokemon by the way?" Draco asked.
Lila took a look at Draco and blushed faintly finding him cute "Oh it's a special pokemon named Victini, there's an event going on soon on an island called Victory Island where that island was dedicated to Victini where is was first spotted.(AN:/ This Victory island is taking the place of Liberty Garden on the game and its going to be different from the movie as they will eventually meet Victini on that island so just giving heads up) We hold pokemon races and battle tournaments and the winner is supposed to win something really cool." Lila said.
"Awesome we just have to do this event you guys" Blake said getting fired up.
"Relax, we don't even know if it's still available to enter these events" Draco said thinking logically.
"Oh I'm heading over to get my Victory pass now at the docks. You guys should come on too" Lila said happily.
"Alright lead the way" Blake said and everyone gets situated on their bikes and head off down the bridge.
"This will be good training for the gym huh Whitney?" Blake said as he rode beside her.
"Whitney glanced at him "Yep, can't wait to see what this island is about" she said.
"Draco, Blake you guys should see this awesome view" Lila said turning back to look at them.
"I wanna see" Blake quickly pedals faster leaving Whitney alone with Draco.
Draco couldn't help but snicker as he saw Whitney glaring after Blake.
"What's so funny?" Whitney said looking at Draco.
"Oh nothing" he said pedaling a little faster. "Just be sure not to be too green" he added before moving to catch up with Lila and Blake leaving Whitney to ponder his statement.
"Green? What does he mean by that? Green…green…" she muttered to herself.
"Whitney! Come on or we'll leave you!" Blake's shout broke her thoughts and realized the red in his cap was pretty far away.
"H-hey wait up!" Whitney said and pedaled as fast as she could.
They made it to the end and Blake and Whitney was visibly worn out from the riding. "How are you not tired Draco and Lila?" Blake asked.
"I am, I just don't look like I'm going to fall over" Draco remarked.
"I'm not tired because I live in Castelia City so Lady and I ride through here all the time" she said and her Lillipup looked up and barked a reply for the first time.
"She's so well mannered; my Lillipup is a feisty thing and always looking for a battle" she said recalling her pokemon.
"Lady was my pet until I decided I'd give being a trainer a try and she's not so bad at all" she said petting her pokemon.
"So that means you own that bike?" Blake asked.
"Yep, it would be a shame if I'm paying a fee all the time when I can just own my own bike" Lila said getting off her bike to push around. "Follow me so that we can get some tickets and then I can show you a great restaurant, my parents own it" Lila said and if on cue Blake's stomach growled.
"Oh, good thing we found you then, all that training made me hungry" Blake said and Draco only shook his head.
At the docks was a stand saying 'Victory Stand' with a picture of Victini was there with a good crowd of people.
"Hurry All, Tickets for Victory Island is running out!" shouted the salesperson.
"Come on let's go!" Blake said running to the stand with Lila, Whitney and Draco behind him.
"Great just in time!" Lila said.
Soon the line died down and they were the last in line.
"Four Tickets please." Lila said but the sales person frowned holding up three.
"Sorry…I only have three left" he said meaning one of them couldn't go.
"What do we do?" Blake said as Lila purchased her own and eyeing the last two.
"You guys go on and take it they will be other events" Whitney said.
"No way, if the three of us can't go together then we won't go" Draco remarked.
"But this is a onetime chance" Lila said looking at them.
"I see you have a problem" Whitney turned and Cheren was there adjusting his glasses.
"C-Cheren?" Whitney asked.
"Yep, good seeing you. I take it you don't have enough tickets?" he asked getting to the point.
"Yea…its only three left…"Whitney remarked.
"Here" Cheren hands her a Victory pass.
"But what about you?" she asked and Cheren grinned as he whipped out two more passes.
"Don't worry, I got three earlier thinking I would run into you and Bianca…" he said putting them back in his bag.
"Thanks Cheren you are simply the best" Whitney said hugging her friend. Blake and Draco got the other two passes seeing as now Whitney was able to go.
"Yes! Battle time here we go" Blake said.
"I suggest you use this time to train up for the competitions as the gym leader isn't here. He's been gone to help prepare on Victory Island" Cheren remarked making Blake groan.
"Oh come on! I wanted a gym battle" Blake whined.
"Come on we battled Bianca and trained to in the woods I think your pokemon need a break" Whitney remarked.
"So Bianca is training, good. She lost too easily to my team so I think training is the best. I do hope she makes it in time for Victory Island tomorrow otherwise I'll have to give my ticket away" Cheren said.
"I say she's doing pretty well she's finally gotten more pokemon" Whitney said.
"Well I'll see you tomorrow" Cheren said leaving to head back to the pokemon center.
"Who was that guy? Well regardless it was lucky he showed up!" Lila said.
"My friend Cheren…or Rival…I don't know what he is" Whitney said staring after him. "
"He's such a jerk! Even a bigger one than Draco" Blake grumbled. "I so hope I get to battle him tomorrow.
"Here's a brochure on tomorrow events" Lila said handing each of them one.
"Thanks now lets eat I'm starving!" Blake said and Lila giggled.
"Alright lets go everyone" she said and they all left the docks and into the city as they walked she showed them the pokemon center and other places.
"This pokemon center is huge!" Blake said.
"It is the city" Draco remarked.
"Yep! Many trainers or people with pokemon stay so all the upstairs to this building is rooms. Its especially busy during times like pokemon events like tomorrow. I suggest you guys hurry and get a place to stay for the night before eating." Lila said.
"Good Idea" Draco replied and the four of them headed inside. Sure enough the place was huge numerous of people were holding passes and brochures on the Victory Island event.
An Audino appeared looking at the trainers.
"Oh no we don't need our pokemon to be healed we would like to register a room for the night" Whitney said and the Audino nods and goes over to Nurse Joy.
"I heard you loud and clear" Joy said after typing on the computer. "Luckily you guys a room just opened up. So is it the four of you?" Joy asked.
Blake looked back to offer Lila a place but Whitney replies first. "Nope, just us three."
"Don't worry I am staying with my folks of course" she said to Blake and Draco though Draco didn't too much care as he figured that would be the case.
"Alright room 709, here is the key be sure to bring it back" Joy said handing Whitney the key.
"Thank you" she said putting it in her bag.
"Now let's eat!" Blake said and they all leave the pokemon center.
Soon Lila takes them all to her family's restaurant where a friendly couple was waiting a tall beautiful woman with blonde hair and a man with a friendly face and bright grey eyes.
"Welcome home sweetie!" her mother rushes to hug her child.
"And you brought customers!" her father added. "Come on in, come on in!" he said inviting everyone in and seats them at a table.
"Judging by your Emolga I say you all are trainers" Lila's father asked.
"That's right" Blake said.
"Well this place is one of the only few places that serves pokemon" the mother said next.
"There's another room where pokemon are kept and we give monitors to trainers to keep an eye on their pokemon. So you guys can order and let your pokemon out to be served" Lila said.
"Alrighty" Whitney said and each of them ordered some food and as it was being made Lila lead them to another room it was big enough to hold even the largest pokemon and it had feeding selections based on the type of pokemon.
Serving their pokemon with bowls full of food everyone calls out their pokemon.
"Samu, Lillipup, Tranquil, Blitzle, and Petilil come on out!" Whitney called out her pokemon.
"Druddigon come on out" Draco summons his dragon type and Emolga was already eating at the apple slices in addition to some regular pokemon food.
"Tepi, Patrat, Purrloin, Drilbur and Pansange its chow time!" Blake called out his pokemon.
"Wow everyone has a lot of pokemon" Lila said and Lady was infatuated with Whitney's Lillipup and was trying to get its attention but it was only really interesting in eating.
"Pyro, Buggy, and Batty come on out!" Lila called and her Pansear, Sewaddle and her Swoobat came out.
"I regret not catching a Sewaddle, its really cute" Whitney said as it was munching on its food.
"Yep I caught a Pyro and Buggy in the forest" Lila said and turned to her pokemon. "Now behave for our guess you here" she warned and her pokemon made noises to confirm.
"Same here everyone" Whitney said addressing the others and they all nodded.
"Ok Let's get going! Our food must be done!" Blake said heading back out the room and sure enough their food was done.
"So its three main events with a prize for first and second place" Draco said as he was reading the brochure.
"The first one is a daylong event where you choose one pokemon and you battle other trainers for their medals that everyone will be given. Whoever has the most at the end of the day wins" Whitney said. "The winner gets an egg that's from this region and second place wins a set of different potions" Whitney said
"What? If you lose you lose all the medals you accumulated up to that point? That sucks" Blake remarked as he ate.
"Yea, I'm not very good at that event I always seem to lose all my medals. I may so other smaller events. It's a weeklong event but those are the three bigger events" Lila said.
"I'm so doing it with Tepi!" Blake said.
"I guess I'll use Emolga" Draco said.
"I'm not sure who I will use…" Whitney said thinking things through. All her pokemon pull through for her.
"I suggest using your strongest one" Lila said.
"I have some time to think" Whitney said.
"The next day is a pokemon race, you can enter as many pokemon as you like to run two laps around the island. The more pokemon you have the better chance of the trainer to win. Pokémon get disqualified if they battle or injure each other though…that sounds fun" Draco said though he only had one pokemon to choose for that as his Druddigon never had the motivation for such a tiresome task as racing.
"Awesome if its along the shore line then Samu can race too" Whitney said knowing her pokemon isn't the fastest on land.
" I have a lot of pokemon who would participate too!" Blake said and just like that everyone was planning.
"So you are also going to the event?" Lila's mother appeared.
"We didn't even know about it until we met Lila on the way from Skyarrow bridge" Blake remarked.
"How lucky, lots of trainers gather around just for events. I hope you all do your best" the mother said.
"Oooh the winner of the race gets an egg that's a rare pokemon from this region and second place wins a set of vitamins like zinc and protein to give to their pokemon" Lila remarked.
"The race won't take all day so the next race is the Victory Battle tournament which takes place soon after. You Select one pokemon to battle other trainers and that last for about two days. The winner of that will get to choose a starter pokemon from another region and a free first class Victory Pass which allows them to ride in style for next year's event. Second place wins a rare egg from another region. This is the most wanted event ever!" Lila remarked.
"A pokemon from amother region?"
"Another starter? Like Charmander or Totodile or a Treeko?" Blake said naming some of them from the top of his head.
"Yep last year it was from Kanto so no Charmander this year. They will probably do another region" Lila replied back.
"This is going to be awesome!" Blake said motivated.
"Hey you already have an egg, let the rest of us win one" Whitney frowned.
"You have an egg?" asked Lila.
"Yep" Blake takes his egg out from his bag and wrapped in a tight bundle of blankets given by the day care lady. He unwraps it and to his surprise his egg had grown bigger and it was just a deep olive green like color.
"I don't even know what could be" Lila said.
"Yeah usually you can guess by what the egg looks like" Whitney said.
"Well I sure hope you guys do well. I know I'll try my best" Lila said.
"Thanks for the food we appreciate it" Blake said after they ate and recalled their pokemon they decided to explore the city and rest up before tomorrow.
"No problem, you guys need to be at the docks by 7. It takes an hour to ride to the island and start the event" Lila explained.
"No problem." Draco answers.
"I sure hope I see her tomorrow" Blake said gazing up as they walked.
"Maybe. Maybe not, there will be a lot of trainers" Draco said.
"You always got to be all serious. What do you think Whitney?" Blake said looking down to turn to his friend who clearly didn't have interest in the conversation.
"I agree with Draco there will be hundreds of trainers tomorrow" she remarked without even looking at Blake but pauses.
"Come on Winney you going to agree with Draco?" Blake whined.
"Hey look it's a Castelia cone store. I recall it being a real treat" Draco said distracting them both with success.
"Let's try some" Whitney said going over to the brightly painted store and they each got a cone and it was indeed delicious.
"This is good" Whitney said smiling as she ate her cone.
"Agreed" Draco said.
"Same" Blake said happily though getting some on his face.
"You are such a kid" Draco remarked after taking notice of this but also noticed Whitney had some on her cheek. "Well…for girls it's cute" he added with a grin making Whitney flush in embarrassment as she wiped her face along with Blake who was flushed as well but in anger instead as he wiped his face.
The trainers traveled all afternoon and by the evening they returned to the pokemon center.
"I'm tired so much walking in this city" Blake remarked.
"Same here lets go before we don't wake up in the morning" Whitney said and the three got in the elevator that took them to the seventh floor and they entered their room which had two bunk beds. The trainers got situated for bed and off went the lights. Draco took the top and Whitney took the bunk underneath and Blake took the top on the other bunk.
"Night guys, let's do our best tomorrow" Whitney said.
"Let's" Draco muttered.
"Of course, Night you guys" Blake said.
"Night" Draco and Whitney said together.
The trainers go to sleep to gain the energy they need for the adventure ahead.
Meanwhile Team Plasma was already gathered on Victory Island in various locations.
"Master N, Master Ghetsis, we are done with preparations" some of the grunts were calling in.
"Good" Ghetsis said.
"With Victini's strength on our side we can start with Victory Island a perfect symbol of our Victory over the world" N said truly excited.
"Tomorrow we will commence in the capture of Victini" Ghetsis said and he leaves along with N.
'I wonder will my greatest rival be in this competition too' N couldn't help but think of Whitney as he went to prepare to go to Victory island tomorrow.
Well that's it for this chapter some training was done and a new friend is introduced. Next Chapter will be the journey to Victory island the land dedicated to the pokemon Victini. Be sure to read and review.
