Ok here's the next chapter. I decided it's enough work just writing so I'm not going to make new Pokémon. But I already have everyone's team all planned out: which Pokémon on each team, when they are caught and when they evolve. Before the first gym everyone will have three Pokémon. Keep reading.

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon or its subsidiaries.

"I'm back." Someone said behind them.

Kai whipped his head around quickly to see a blond girl, drenched in rain, standing in the doorway looking back at him just as puzzled as he was.

"Who are you?" She asked him.

"I'm Kai. Who the hell are you?" He replied.

"I'm Lily. Her daughter." The girl said pointing at C. "Why are you in the lab?"

"I'm C's aide. Now why don't you come inside, it's wet out there."

Kai and C both jumped up from the couch and walked over to the girl. As C led her into the other room to change, Kai took the girl's things to her room. As he laid the bag on the floor a pokeball fell out of her bag.

"Hm what do we have here?" He asked himself. "Come on out whoever you are."

Out popped a huge red tortoise with a black shell. "Torkooooooooal!" It cried as it ran out the bedroom door. The turtle looked as if it was getting hotter as it charged out the front door. As the Pokémon ran it started spewing flames from its mouth and setting trees ablaze, despite the rain.

"Who let Torkoal out? Lily yelled running into the living room wearing nothing but a pair of short-shorts.

"I don't know, princess? Who else is in here besides the three of us? And by the way you might want to put on a shirt."

The girl blushed, crossed her arms across her chest and ran back to the room she had just come from. She came back out with a shirt on two minutes later.

"You dumbass! Why were you touching my pokeball?"

"Lily calm down." C said. "All you have to do is recall him to the ball."

"It's not that easy. It knows overheat and could destroy the entire town. Now if I can just get Gyrados."

"No I let him out I'll put him back. Duskull, Wooper let's go!"

"Duskull Dusk!" (1)

"Woopa!" (1)

The little blue creature jumped on Kai's shoulder as he started running with the gray specter in tow.

"Don't worry I'll be back in no time." He told the girls. Lily looked puzzled.

"But why is he doing this mom?" Lily asked.

"Listen Lily, I've known him since he was a little boy and we've grown closer over the past three years. He's doing this because he cares about us, especially you. I don't know how you missed it. When you first walked in you caught his attention."

"Mom I'm going to stop him, to tell him he doesn't have to do this."

"Honey you're right. He doesn't have to do it. He wants to do it; He's connected with me and he wants to connect with you too."

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

"I have to make this right."

"Woopa woo woopa." (2)

"I see 'em buddy. Duskull use Shadow Ball."

The little ghost conjured a ball of purple energy and launched at the turtle. As the ball hit the Pokémon, Torkoal, quickly spun around and launched a stream of fire at Kai.

"Wooper counter with water gun."

The water hit the stream of fire which caused the water to be engulfed. The tortoise created a huge ball of flames.

"Toooooooorrrrrrrrkkkkkooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllll!" It bellowed. The ball launched hitting Duskull, Wooper and Kai causing all three to dive to the ground. As the two Pokémon lay on the ground unconscious, Kai stood up; His jacket ripped to pieces and burned and his shirt and pants filled with charred holes.

"Never give up, never surrender!" He screamed hanging his head. He ran past the Pokémon on the ground, wrapped his arms around the Torkoal and fought to stay on as it shook wildly.

"Kai get off of him! You don't have to do this! Please just come back!" Lily yelled.

"I can't, I started this rampage and I have to finish it."

"No you don't just come back." By this point she was kneeling next to Duskull and Wooper, with tears running down her face.

"Torkooooooal!" The Pokémon yelled as it spewed black smoke all over Kai. He flew of and the beast slammed its foot right onto Kai's torso.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" He screamed spitting up blood. The charred boy instantly slipped from consciousness.

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

"Wha? What happened to me and why am I in the lab?" Kai said under his breath.

"Torkoal crushed you, dumbass." The young girl sitting next to the bed replied. "You stupid, stupid bastard." She said with frustration. "I told you to get back and leave it to me, but now you're hurt and everyone was worried sick." Now she had concern in her voice.

"Just tell everybody I'm fine."

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

One week later Kai has fully healed and is back out training with Lily.

"Guys I just got some good news." C yelled to them from the lab. "Come back in and find out what."

The teens walked through the back door of the lab into the kitchen with Wooper, Duskull and Lily's Ledyba behind them.

"Well guys great news, the Kionsai league starts in three days."

"Why does that concern me?"

"Well Kai since I thought that Lily was going to compete and she doesn't really know the region I figured you would go and be her guide. Plus you'd be helping with research. Then there's the fact that you never went on a journey and finally have your own Pokémon."

"Whatever I'll go but she takes one Pokémon and I get to start with two."

"Fine. But you two will have to leave late since I need help giving new trainers their starter Pokémon."

"Ok then." They replied in unison.

"Good a whole boat from Kanto is coming in this afternoon you two are gonna go greet them."

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

Over the week that Kai was laid up he and Lily had gotten to know each other better and had developed a sibling like relationship. They had spent most of the past few days together.

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

Later that day Kai, Lily and Wooper were waiting on the dock.

"Woo woo woop pa pa." The blue imp screeched. (3)

"Great here come the newbs. You ready dumbass?"

"Hey I'm a newb. Now suck it up and look happy princess."

As the boat pulled into the dock the teens noticed that only a few people were on board: a boy who looked about Kai's age with spiky brown hair, another boy about Lily's age with a Pikachu on his shoulder and a girl a little younger than the latter who was holding a Piplup. These three were the only ones who stood out.

"Hey do you kids know where we go to register for the Kionsai league?" The boy with the Pikachu asked as they walked off the boat.

"Ash be a little more polite. Hi I'm Dawn." The girl with the Piplup said.

"Hi Dawn. I'm Kai and this is Lily." He said holding out his hand.

"Woo woop."

"Oh yeah and this is Wooper."

"I'm Ash." The Pikachu boy said.

"And I'm Brock." The taller boy said.

"And yes we do know where the registration is." Lily replied then went silent.

"Are you gonna tell us?" Asked Brock.

"Not until he gets it right." Kai retorted pointing at Ash.

"Get what right." He asked.

"My age. I'm 16 and just as old as tall boy over there."

"Fine do you people know where we can find the registration?"

"Thank you. And yes we do, that's why we're at this dock. So come with us to the lab."

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

Five minutes later…

"Hello beautiful, I know I've just met you but you give my life meaning." Brock was going crazy over C, until a Croagunk launched a Poison Jab up his ass.

"Ok now that we've gotten through that ordeal let's get you registered."

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

I decided to add Dawn to the mix just to shake things up. And Team Rocket makes their first appearance in the next chapter. Once the journey starts Kai will be the first to catch a Pokémon. I still have 2 versatile spots on the Ash and Dawn teams if you have a suggestion put it in a review or a pm and I may use that Pokémon.

Please keep reading.
