Hey, Guys! This is going to be a short because I'm not able to access my main PC. I'll be posting a few shorts for you guys to enjoy. Before you start reading, make sure to get other people to read the story too, because the better received it is, the more time and energy I spend on it. Also, as I said before, constructive criticism is highly appreciated. Anyways, enjoy!

Jethro was walking through the woods, Poke Ball in hand, ready to catch his first Pokémon. He was searching and found a small Pokémon. It had a green wrap around its head and a red spike that protruded through its middle section.

"Hey, there. Do you want to help me find a Pokémon to start my journey with?" Jethro asked.

"Ralts, Ralt!" The Pokémon replied.

"Ok, then. Let's start searching!" Jethro exclaimed.

Meanwhile, Andre and his Riolu were walking through the woods when Andre saw his brother, Zak.

"Zak!" Andre called.

Zak turned around and walked towards him.

"Hi." Zak said.

"How are you and your Pokémon doing?" Andre asked.

"We're doing okay! Gible is leveling up, and it's learned a few moves." Zak said.

"Here, take this." Andre said as he put two stones into Zak's outstretched hand. One was white, and the other green and red. "This is a Key Stone." Andre said, pointing to the white stone.

"So that means this is a Mega Stone!" Zak said excitedly. "I can't wait to Mega Evolve Garchomp!"

"Zak, that's not a Garchompite, that's a Sceptilite" Andre said.

"Oh. Thanks anyway!" Zak said.

"Hey guys! I found a Pokémon!" Jethro exclaimed. He ran up with a Ralts by his side.

"Cool Pokémon!" Zak said."

"Let's battle!" Zak said to Jethro.

Zak and Jethro are ready. Their Pokémon are ready too.

"Go, Gible! Use Bite!" Zak called.

"Ralts! Use Confusion!" Jethro yelled.

Zak's Gible ran at the Ralts and chomped down on it. The Ralts yelped as the Gible kept biting.

"Gible, stop! You're hurting it!" Zak yelled.

Gible just kept biting, and just before Ralts fainted, it began glowing pink. It's red eyes slowly became visible, and a skirt began to form around the Pokémon. It was evolving! It blasted out Psychic energy, knocking Gible into a tree.

"Kirlia, use Draining Kiss!" Jethro yelled.

Kirlia blew a kiss at Gible, and slowly Kirlia's wounds began to heal. Gible fell down, weakened. Then, it began to roar, and it began to glow as well. It was exuding a blue light, and when the light stopped, the Gabilte roared again.

"Woah! Both of your Pokémon evolved! That's so cool!" Andre said.

"Go, Gabite! Use Slash!" Zak yelled.

"Kirlia, use Magical Leaf!" Jethro called.

Kirlia began to throw green leaves quickly at Gabite. Every leaf struck it, and after the barrage, the Gabite slashed at Kirlia with glowing claws.

"Kirlia, use Draining Kiss!" Jethro yelled.

Kirlia kissed the last of the health from Gabite. It fell to the ground, fainted.

"I won!" Jethro exclaimed.

"Good fight." Zak said as the two trainers healed their Pokémon.

"Zak, looks like you've lost twice today." Andre commented.

"Okay! You don't have to rub it in!" Zak protested. "I'm going to leave and get stronger! You'll both lose to me then! See you later!" Zak said as he ran off.

"I'd better go too. Until we meet again, Andre." Jethro said, shaking Andre's hand. He too walked away.

"Woah, Riolu! Is that a Heracross!?" Andre said. "Let's go and battle it!"

In case you guys didn't know, this short takes place in the past, before Riolu evolved into Lucario. The last part is referencing the battle in the first chapter with Heracross. Anyway, have a good day/night, and I'll see you all later!
