"UGH!" Rex groaned as his head hit the table.

He was sitting in the Saffron Pokémon Center. Sabrina the Gym Leader had beaten him three times already. None of his Pokémon were any good against her Alakazam. Neither Joltik or Bre with their type advantages nor Torch with his brute force. She was so smug and condescending. The last time was the worst. Bre seemed to be holding her own better than Torch or Joltik had, but She just smiled as her Haunter floated by her shoulder laughing and she said, "In a Pokémon battle you must use your brain as well as pure force. Your head on attacks will only get you so far."

Then she proceeded to knock Bre out.

Rex leaned back and sunk into his seat in defeat and moaned, "Uggnph."

The Nurse Joy seeing Rex in distress approached him, "Your Pokémon are ready for you."

Rex looked up not noticing her until she spoke, "Oh thanks," Rex said unenthusiastically.

Joy trying to help said, "Y'know when I'm not feeling the best I like to take a walk around the city. It can be quite relaxing."

Rex smiled half-heartedly and said, "Thank you, that sounds like a good idea."

Rex figured a walk to clear his head couldn't hurt so he got his Pokéballs from Joy and headed out onto the street. He picked a direction at random and began walking aimlessly. He eventually stumbled upon a small park and though it would be a refreshing change of pace from the towering buildings and dull grey aura that was the big city. He meandered through the greenery until the sun was almost on the horizon and the sky was shades of soft pink and brilliant orange.

He started to turn back when he heard a familiar noise coming from a low branch in one of the few trees. It was snoring. Snoring like he heard just before Mt. Moon... But it couldn't be.

"Derpy?" Rex turned toward the noise and wondered out loud. Sure enough there was a cream colored cat Pokémon sleeping on a tree branch. Rex reached for a Pokéball and let Snivey out of its ball, "Snivey use your vine whip to get that cat please." Snivey extended its vines and nudged the Meowth right off the branch.

Thud!, "Owch, what's the big idea can't a guy get some shut eye around here." Meowth then saw his aggressor and said, "Oh, it's the twerp again," then started to climb the tree to go back to sleep.

Rex feigned a huff and turned as if he meant to go but stopped when he realized he didn't know from which direction he came. Meowth watched and grinned at this. "Ha, you're lost aren't ya?" Rex glared at him. "I could point ya in the right direction."

"Uh-hu. And why would you do that?" Rex asked.

"Y'know. I scratch your back you scratch mine," Meowth grinned and Rex raised a suspicious eyebrow, "You trainers got it nice at the Pokémon Centers, a meal and a dry place to sleep is nothin to you and I'll take you back and save a few hours of stumblin around in the dark, so whadya say?"

Rex exhaled heavily, "Fine," he made a sweeping gesture, "Lead the way."

About twenty minutes later they were just outside the Center. "Ok on all fours and NO talking," Rex said and looked down at Meowth.

"What?!"

"I don't want any attention cause I've got a talking walking Meowth. Do you? Or you could be on your way and not get fed."

"Fine," Meowth conceded and got down on his front paws, "How this? Meow-meow meowth.

"It'll have to do. Come on then."

Rex walked into the lobby with Meowth at his heels and Nurse Joy, seeing his new companion, said, "How cute. I haven't seen you with that Pokémon before."

"Oh this mangy guy?" Rex said nonchalantly, "I found him on the streets and I felt bad for him so I caught it." This earned him a glare from Meowth and a few claw marks on his leg.

Rex continued to the bunk room he had been calling home for the past few days with Meowth in tow. They arrived and Rex collapsed into the bunk he had procured. "Hey! We had a deal, Twerp. This ain't no dining hall."

"Shut up, Derpy! I'll go get you something and bring it back." Rex grumbled at the cat.

"Sheesh! What's got you all hot under the collar, Twerp? You ain't the happy go lucky type but geez."

"Not that it's any of your business, but I'm having trouble beating the Gym Leader, and it's got me a little frustrated."

"Ha ha, that crazy girl with the ESP. She likes to play games with ya huh? Ya need to beat her at her own game," Meowth laughed at the trainer.

"Really? She all but cheats. Her Pokémon teleports all over the place. There's no way to attack let alone dodge. UGH!" Rex exploded.

"Well, ha ha, cheat the cheater. Now I'm hungry. Chop chop, Twerp."

Rex let out another loud noise and stomped out if the room fuming.

Meowth pigged out that night, curled up in an empty bunk and began his snoring letting out the occasional "Meowth".

Needless to say Rex found it hard to sleep due to the noise. At one point another trainer got up with a pillow and sheet and went to sleep in the hall. Rex just lay there and thought about Sabrina

How am I gonna beat her? She doesn't play by the rules not really anyhow. She hasn't actually done anything against League rules. She hasn't used multiple Pokémon or left the field….

Rex sat up with a grin. He grabbed Bre's ball and his shoes and headed for the clearing just west of the city
