Off stage captures: Minun, Bunnelby, and Pancham
The girls decided to go through the gate that leads to the fifth route. Emma was busy drawing in her book with Mimi and Bloom while Shauna and Kisai trained. The two girls were having a practice battle. Chespin was sitting down watching the clouds since he wasn't apart of the battle.
"Ready to go Shauna?"
"Always Kisai."
"Then Scatterbug start out with String Shot!"
"Dodge it Skitty!"
Scatterbug started to spit out his string. Even though she was told to dodge, Skitty ran towards the attack. She managed to tangle herself into a small ball. Shauna sighed.
"Skitty you have to dodge when I tell you to," Shauna said.
"Kitty~" Skitty purred.
"I guess that his String Shot was to shiny for her," Kisai laughed.
"Skitty," Shauna groaned.
The normal type started to roll around in the string ball. Everything that was stuck to the ground soon became apart of the ball. Shauna grabbed a pair of scissor from her bag and started to cut the string off.
"This is going to take forever," Shauna complained.
"While you're doing that I'm going to find some trainers to battle," Kisai said. "Do you wanna come with me Emma?"
"No thanks."
"Then let's go!"
Fennekin jumped onto Kisai's shoulder while Scatterbug crawled up her leg. As they walked, a floating cotton candy passed by them. Fennekin hopped off of Kisai and started chasing it.
"Fennekin come back!"
Fennekin didn't hear her trainer's cry. Fennekin chased down the Pokémon till it was in a corner. She was about take a bite out of the Pokémon till Scatterbug pull her back with a String Shot. Kisai bowed to the wild Pokémon.
"Sorry for bothering you," she apologized.
Scatterbug dragged Fennekin a good distance away from the wild Pokémon. Kisai followed them. Fennekin puffed out her checks once Scatterbug chew off the string.
"You don't have to hunt down Pokémon anymore," Kisai said. "I have food to give you."
"Kins," Fennekin mumbled.
Scatterbug shook his head. He didn't understand the fire type. Fennekin saw this and shot out a weak Ember at him. This wasn't appreciated.
"Scatterbug!"
"Fen."
"Cut it out you two," Kisai scolded.
The two Pokémon glarned at each other before turning away. Kisai was about to comment on their attitude until a familiar scent cought her attention. Fennekin and Scatterbug smelled the same thing.
"Something burning," Kisai mumbled.
The three of them ran to the source of that smell. It was to early for a for anyone to be cooking. Kisai wondered if it was the same people from last time. When they came to a clearing, Kisai was shocked to see a girl flying in the air with her Pokémon.
"Hard right guys!" she yelled.
"Talonflame!"
"Noi!"
"I recognized one of them," Kisai said to herself.
She pulled out her book and started writing down information. She knew that Talonflame was the final evolution of Fletchling. The other Pokémon, however, was a complete mystery to her. Kisai noticed that the grass under them was burned.
"I guess that what we were smelling," she commented.
"Now down!"
Kisai watched as the trainer landed with her Pokémon. The trainer took off her helmet and waved at her. She must had seen Kisai from the sky.
"Howdy," she greeted.
"How did you do that?" Kisai questioned.
"I see Kalos people don't know how to greet a person," she commented.
"Sorry," Kisai laughed. "I just never seen anything like it before."
"It's fine. I'm Rosa from the Unova region."
"Nice to meet you Rosa and these are my Pokémon Talonflame and Noivern.
"My name's Kisai and this Fennekin and Scatterbug."
"Well Kisai to answer your question I'm a Sky Trainer. I fly with my Pokémon."
"That's so cool!"
"You will be able to do the same thing once your Scatterbug evolves into Vivillon," she explained.
"So he does evole into one," Kisai said to herself.
"Yup, you two will be able to fly together when that happens."
"That sounds cool doesn't it Scatterbug? Scatterbug?"
Scatterbug was currently staring down Talonflame. He tried to make himself bigger then what he actually was. It didn't work. Talonflame simply stare down the bug type.
"You have a fighter on your hands," Rosa laughed.
Kisai watched as Scatterbug tried to imitate Talonflame. She clicked her tongue before turning to Rosa.
"Battle me."
"Huh?"
"It's obvious that Scatterbug wants to battle Talonflame," she explained.
"But there's no way that Scatterbug can win against my Talonflame. We been training for over a year now."
"Then you have nothing to fear," Kisai repiled.
"Fine then," Rosa caved.
"Let's go Scatterbug," Kisai said.
"Scatter!"
The two trainers stood on opposite sides of each other. The Pokémons that weren't battling was by their side. Talonflame took to the air, but made sure to stay near his trainer's command.
Kisai vs Rosa
"You may have the first move," Rosa said.
"Scatterbug start off with String Shot!"
"Flame Charge."
Usually Scatterbug's String Shot would either immobilize the opponent or at least limit their movements. This wasn't the the case for Talonflame. The fire that covered his body burned the string before it could cover his body.
"That's our best move," Kisai mumbled.
"There's still an attack happening!" Rosa yelled.
She was right. Talonflame slammed into Scatterbug with the flames still covering him. Scatterbug let out a painful scream. Even with the super effective attack, he still managed to stand. Kisai knew that it wouldn't last.
"That one attack did this much," Kisai thought. "We have to at least get a hit in."
"Talonflame use Quick Attack!"
"Stun Spore!"
With the speed boast from the Flame Charge, Talonflame's attack was faster then expected. Scatterbug didn't use Stun Spore at the exact moment Kisai told him to. Instead he waited to get by the attack and then use his attack.
"Are you ok Scatterbug?"
"T-ter."
Fennekin started to laugh at how much trouble Scatterbug was currently in. A glare from her trainer however shut her up. She didn't want to get on her trainer's bad side.
"I must amit I'm impressed," Rosa said. "With this paralyzing Stun Spore my Talonflame might not be able to attack sometimes. I guess that means that we will have to finish this up."
"My thoughts exactly," Kisai repiled.
"Flame Charge!"
"Tackle!"
The two Pokémon dash towards each other for their last attack. The clash ended with Scatterbug on the ground barely moving.
"That's enough Talonflame," Rosa said.
"Scatterbug!" Kisai yelled.
She and Fennekin ran over to the falling bug. When they got close enough to him, Scatterbug used Stun Spore on them. They moved out of the way before they could get hit.
"Scatterbug calm down."
"Sca-tter."
"Stop it. You're in no position to battle right now!"
"Scatter!"
A bright light covered Scatterbug's body. Once realizing what was happening, Kisai pulled out her book and started writing in it. Scatterbug was evolving. After a moment, the light disappeared and left a new Pokémon behind. This Pokémon had a stiff carapace covering its body.
"What kind of Pokémon is that?" Kisai asked.
"It think it's a Spewpa," Rosa answered.
"Fen?"
"Scatterbug just evolved Fennekin," Kisai explained.
"Wpa!" Spewpa yelled.
"He must really wanted to evolve," Rosa said.
Kisai started to think back to Shauna's gym battle with Voila. He couldn't keep his eyes off her Vivillon. He must want to be able to get strong like that.
"Next time let's work together," Kisai said as she picked him up.
"Spew!"
"Even after evolving I know that you're still to weak to battle anymore."
Spewpa looked down at the ground. It was true. He had to many injuries from before he evolved.
"We amit defeat."
"I must say that was a interesting battle we had," she repiled.
"Yeah," Kisai agreed. "Next time we won't lose though."
"We'll see about that," Rosa laughed, "but next time is gonna be on my home turf."
"Wouldn't want it any other way."
"Till then," Rosa said before jumping into the air. "Let's fly guys!"
"Talon!"
"Noi!"
Kisai watched as she flew away. She started to hear her friends coming. She turned around to Shauna, with Chespin a now stringless Skitty, and Emma, with Mimi and Bloom beside her.
"There you are," Shauna said. "Where have you been?"
"You know places," Kisai laughed.
"Is tha-at Scatterbug?" Emma asked as she pointed at Spewpa.
"Not anymore."
"I can't believe he evolved," Shauna laughed as she patted his head. "You bug types really grow up fast."
"Spew."
"He's kinda banged up though," Shauna commented.
"Yeah, we just had a tough battle."
"Well, I have some potions that can heal him."
"Thanks Shauna."
"I wish tha-at I could have seen him evole," Emma said.
"Don't worry about that Emma because we're gonna train hard so that he can evole again," Kisai said.
"Well let's keep going," Shauna said after she healed Spewpa.
"On to the next town!" Kisai yelled.
"Ready Mimi? Bloom?"
Both Mimi and Bloom nodded his head yes. Fennekin jumped on Kisai's shoulder while Spewpa stayed in Kisai's arms. Skitty rubbed her face against Shauna's leg while Chespin waved at the newly evolved Pokémon.
"Camphrier Town is next," Shauna announced.
"Then let's go!" Kisai yelled.
"Ok!" Emma yelled.
"You gotta stop being around Kisai so much," Shauna groaned.
