Chapter 3: the unknown path.

Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon but I do own the characters in this story

Krath: once again a lot happens in this chapter.

Adam: will you just get on with it I wanna know whom that guy is.

Krath: okay, so lets begin.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

As they finally crawled from the last of the bushes the unknown group became more focused, it was a man who looked like he was in his twenties he was quite tall for his age with shoulder length green hair, he seemed to be wearing safari clothes; a white top with a creamy colour jacket and trouser, he had a leopard skin print bandana around his neck but what was really weird was that he was wearing an old western cowboy hat. As the twins realised that there was also two pokemon they both raised their pokedex;

Pokedex: "KADABRA holds a silver spoon to amplify the alpha waves in his head, without it the pokemon is said to limited to its power".

Pokedex: "KIRLIA uses the horns on its head to amplify its powers, which can create mirages of nonexistent scenery".

"Wow a kadabra I've always wanted one of them," shouted Adam who was excited at such a pokemon that he has never seen face to face before.

With that the unknown group turned to look at the twins but the man soon ignored the children and turned back to the pokemon.

"Okay kadabra lets do it, use swift then use confusion," ordered the unknown man, "lets see what this does," the man whispered to himself. The pokemon kadabra shot out loads of stars out of its spoon towards the kirlia but soon after kadabra's eyes began to glow and the stars stopped in mid air then crashed into each other and made some sort of firework art, this attracted the wild kirlia's attention. "Now use your psybeam while its distracted," said the unknown man to his pokemon. Kadabra placed its spoon in front of him then shot out a colourful beam towards the kirlia, which caused it to faint. "Okay now go pokeball," shouted the weird dressed man. The man threw an empty pokeball towards the fainted pokemon, the ball opened sucking the pokemon in, and as it hit the floor it began to roll then after a while it clicked. The man then uttered, "Yes a new member for our team".

"Urm, sir can we just ask what's your name?" asked Louise while staring at the stranger.

The man turned back towards the twins after calling back kadabra.

"Ur yeah sure, my name is Johnny the best coordinator in the world, well I will be soon," Johnny replied.

"Whats a coordinator?" questioned Adam.

"What you don't know, you must be beginners, well its like a trainer but we make the battles into pieces of art, we enter into contests where there is two main rounds; the first is when your pokemon has to attract the attention of the crowd and judges by doing combos, the second is a battle; you start with a number of points at the start and when you battle you lose points the one with the most points at the end and wins a ribbon" answered Johnny; quite quickly. He pulled out a case and showed the twins a ribbon, which looked old and hadn't seen the light of day for a long time. Johnny then said, "oh yea a combo is like what I did with kadabra and the swift attack".

"Wow that's so cool, I wanna do it, how do I do it?" asked Louise with excitement.

"I tell you what, I'll train you, but first we need to go to the nearest pokemon centre and get you a card so you can enter contests, what about you?" Johnny said while looking at Adam.

Adam replied with enthusiasm, "no no I'm fine I'm gonna be the best pokemon master and capture every pokemon that there is".

Johnny then went onto joke, "well I haven't heard of that before". Both Johnny and Louise began to laugh.

Adam then shouted to the pair, "what's so funny it's true, I'll show you". Then Adam turned and started to run into the forest that lay behind the group.

Louise quickly told her brother, "wait, Adam wait, it was a joke". Then Louise and Johnny started to run after Adam.

Half an hour later

"Well I can't find him and I don't know where he'll be," said Johnny.

"Damn why does he have to be like this, when he was younger he would do the same thing, if someone was doing something better he would go off and then he'll come back later with something to prove that he is better than them, I suggest that we go to the nearest pokemon centre and wait for him," explained Louise.

"Okay, well the nearest one should be north from here outside of the forest, if you're sure we should stop looking then lets go," said Johnny as they turned and started to walk towards the rim of the forest for the pokemon centre.

Somewhere else

"I'll show them that my dream isn't stupid I'm gonna capture a strong pokemon," uttered Adam to himself.

"Yeah right, like a wimp like you could capture anything," a voice said from the darkness.

Adam turned and saw a boy of his age leaning on a tree, he was wearing black jeans and a blue and black jacket, he also had the same length hair as Adam but it was blue instead.

"What did you say?" asked Adam.

"You heard, and I'll show you that you are weak and don't deserve to call yourself a trainer. Come on out Leafstar," said the boy as he threw a pokeball and out came a green reptile with big yellow eyes, it was a treecko.

Adam again uttered to himself, "a treecko, the pokemon that is so calm minded and cool and is never scared of an opponent". Looking back up to the strange boy he knew what he was after. "Okay a pokemon battle, let's go swampie," shouted Adam. He grabbed his pokeball and unleashed his mudkip.

"Wait, who are you?" asked Adam.

"I might as well tell you so you know who it was that crushed your dreams, its Rover. Now Treecko use pound on that weak pokemon," said Rover as his pokemon lurched forward and swung his tail towards mudkip.

"Oh no you don't," shouted Adam who then quickly asked his pokemon, "quick counter it with tackle". Both pokemon took direct hit but only mudkip was thrown onto the ground.

"Now use absorb to get some health back then go in for a quick attack," ordered Rover. A few yellow orbs came out of mudkip and into treecko who now looked refreshed, the reptile then began to ran forward which Adam found hard to track with his eyes.

Adam realising what is happening began to shout to himself, "what should I do, if I do nothing then swampie…. Swampie…. SWAMPIE…"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Krath: well that's it for now I bet you can't wait…

Adam: hey wait you can't stop now I was about to win.

Louise: yeah right you were losing and you got me so worried

A lot of noise came from the background, it was the twins arguing.

Krath: yeah sorry about this readers I'm gonna have to go and calm the characters down, o yeah please R&R, bye.
