As the heroes from Mobius world have finally reached to Cyllage City. Well, Sonic on the other hand was not too happy since they're near the beach. As for Nebula, she had to walk along and she really hates hiking.
"I…..hate…hiking….." Nebula panted.
"I know you do Nebs. Come on. You can do it" Shadow said.
"Oh, man. How close are we?" Nebula groaned.
"We're here" Sliver said.
"Finally" Nebula sighs in relief. Liepard purred on Nebula to help her stand up.
"Should we rest before I challenge the gym?" Shadow asked
"Yeah, and feed our Pokémon. Let's find the Pokémon Center" Blaze said.
"Good idea" Sonic said.
The heroes went to find the Pokémon Center in the Cyllage City. They found it and went inside along with their Pokémon partners.
They gave their Pokemon to Nurse Joy to heal. While they waited, they sat at a table.
"You ready for this Shadow?" Nebula asked.
"Definitely" Shadow smirked.
"Here you go, Sylveon" Amy said, giving her Sylveon a bowl of Pokémon dry food pellets.
"Sylveon!" Sylveon happily eats.
"I gotta say, these Pokémon are really cute" Silver said, feeding his male Meowstic some Pokémon food.
"If only this world was real. I'd become the best Fire type trainer" Blaze said.
"And me the best Psychic type trainer" Silver said.
"I'd be the best Dark type" Shadow said.
"I'd be the best Fairy type" Amy said.
"I don't know about me but I can't seem to choose which type I like most" Nebula said.
"It's fine Nebs" Shadow said.
"Pyroar" the female Pyroar was asking Blaze for some Pokémon food.
"Oh Pyroar, I didn't give you food did I? Here you go" Blaze said putting the food in a bowl and putting it in front of Pyroar.
"Pyroar" Pyroar eats.
Everyone else fed their Pokémon while waiting for their other Pokémon to heal up.
Once then, their Pokemon are healed, they headed to the gym to get the Cliff Badge.
"There it is. Let's go in" Shadow said.
"Umbreon" Umbreon followed with him.
The team follows them inside. Once inside there they saw the gym leader Grant doing his rock climbing on the wall.
"Excuse me? I would like to battle" Shadow said politely.
"Hmm? Oh, you must be the new trainer. I'll be right down" Grant lowers down to the ground with his climbing gear.
The team watches him come down.
"Hello, welcome to the Cyllage City gym. My name is Grant, the gym leader" Grant introduced.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Shadow" Shadow said, without adding 'the Hedgehog' since it would confuse the gym leader that mobian hedgehogs don't exist in their world.
"Nice to meet you Shadow. So, I hear you want a battle?" Grant asked.
"Yes. And to win a gym badge" Shadow said. He then looked back at Nebula, "Can you watch Umbreon for me?"
"Sure, Shadow" Nebula said, giving him a kiss on the cheek, "And good luck"
Shadow blushes slightly, "Thanks Nebs"
Shadow's friends, including his Umbreon sat on the bleachers to watch the battle.
"And begin!" The referee shouted.
"Amaura! Come on out!" Grant tossed his Poke Ball.
"Amaura!"
"Pangoro, let's go!" Shadow said throwing out a pokeball.
"Pangoro!"
"Amaura, use Aurora Beam!" Grant said.
"Ama…ura!" Amaura used his auroa beam attack move.
"Pangoro, dodge it!" Shadow said.
"Pangoro!" Pangoro dodged it and waits for his next command.
"Pangoro, use Hammerthrow!" Shadow said.
As the battle continues for the next 10 minutes, both Amaura and Tyrunt are defeated.
"All of Grant's Pokemon are unable to battle, Pangoro is the winner, which means the winner is Shadow!" the referee said.
The heroes cheered loudly for Shadow that he won the battle. Umbreon ran up to Shadow and jumped.
"Whoa!" Shadow ends up falling on his back.
*THUD*
"Umbreon!" Umbreon nuzzled under Shadow's chin, feeling proud of him that he won the battle.
"Ok Umbreon okay!" Shadow chuckles.
"Umbreon" Umbreon stops and gets off of Shadow.
Shadow stand back up. Grant goes up to Shadow.
"Congratulations Shadow, I present you the Cliff Badge" Grant said handing him the badge.
"All right!" Shadow got excited.
"Umbreon!" Umbreon cheered.
They then head to the Pokemon Center so Shadow can heal his Pokemon.
"That was so awesome, Faker" Sonic accidently hugged Shadow when he got excited.
"Get off me" Shadow said sternly.
"What? I'm just being nice to you" Sonic teased.
"Yes, well. Can you please let go of me?" Shadow growled lowly.
"Sheesh, when are you ever gonna stop being so grumpy?" Sonic asked, releasing Shadow from the hug.
"As long as I live" Shadow said.
Nebula crossed her arms and pouts and the two acting so immature.
Amy playfully rolls her eyes and shoves Nebula. Nebula ends up falling right into Shadow's arms.
"Whoa!" Nebula stumbles without trying to fall.
Shadow blushed and held her up from losing her balance.
They look at each other.
"Even though he's immature, you still love him" Amy teased.
"Very funny, Amy" Nebula said, hugging Shadow.
Shadow hugs back and buries his face in her quills.
"Liepard" Liepard seems to like Umbreon.
"Umbreon" Umbreon blushed a bit.
Liepard then wraps her tail around Umbreon bringing him close. She then kisses his cheek.
"Aww….look at this" Sonic saw this.
Liepard let him go and walks over to Nebula and sits like nothing happened.
Umbreon is confused.
"What just happened, Liepard?" Nebula asked her Pokémon.
Liepard just licks her paw, ignoring her.
She winks at Umbreon.
As the sun sets down, the sky turns dark. The heroes stayed at the Pokémon Center for tomorrow's journey to the next gym leader.
"Okay, we got two badges. So the third badge is…..the Rumble Badge" Sonic said.
"Which is in Shalour City" Amy said.
"So the gym leader is Korrina. Her Pokémon she has is a Fighting type" Shadow said.
"So their weaknesses are Flying, Phychic, and Fairy" Silver said.
"So it's either me or Silver" Amy said.
Silver and Amy does Rock, Paper, Scissor, Shoe game. Silver's rock beats Amy's scissor.
"I guess that's me" Silver said.
"Don't worry Silv, your team is all Phychic type. You'll be fine" Blaze said.
"I know. I'm just a little nervous, that's all" Silver chuckled.
"Don't worry, we'll be right there with you" Blaze said, kissing him.
The human chef brought the heroes their dinner, "Bon appeti"
"Thank you" the heroes said and they start to eat.
The rest of their Pokémon ate their food from the bowls.
Liepard was glancing at Umbreon while having her dinner.
Liepard smirks. She slowly moves her tail and slowly pets Umbreon with it.
"Umbreon?" Umbreon looks behind himself but to see nothing. He glances over at Liepard. Liepard is eating her food like nothing happened.
Umbreon smirks and decides to pretend that he's eating his food.
"Liepard" Liepard moves her tail again at Umbreon which made him turn around quickly and caught who was tapping his back.
Liepard quickly moved her tail back behind her.
"Umbreon" Umbreon smirked and walks towards her, giving her a lick on the cheek and went back to his bowl dish of Pokémon food.
Liepard's eyes widen. She glares and growls under her breath.
Later
When it was bed time. Liepard is heading to her and Nebula's room. What she does not know is some sneaky Pokemon was following.
"Liepard?" Liepard turns around and saw someone or what appeared to be a Pokémon holding a purple rose flower in its mouth.
"Liepard?" Liepard couldn't see who it was and didn't know if she should attack or not.
