The last time we saw the trio of Brennan, Daniel, and Sydney,

they were banned from entering Hoenn Regional

Competitions like the Pokemon League and Grand Festival.

Luckily, they have decided to take a new path, to Tsuyosa, a

new region with all new Pokemon. Follow them on their

adventures!

"Wake up, sleepyheads!" said Sydney, who shook both

Brennan and Daniel awake. Daniel leapt out of bed first,

followed by a tired Brennan, who whined "Do we have to go

now? It's 5:00 in the morning!" "Quit whining, Brennan. If we

want to get to Tsuyosa early we have to wake up NOW! Let's

go!" Sydney said. On the path to the ship taking them to

Tsuyosa, the sky was a dark navy blue hanging above them, and

everybody was rejuvenated and ready for Tsuyosa. As they

walked into a field, they saw the sea before their eyes… and a

Taillow. "Ooh! I want it!" shouted Brennan, throwing out his

Treecko. "Treecko…" Treecko said lazily, slowly getting into a

fighting stance. "Treecko use Pound!" Treecko's bushy green

tail attempted to pound the Taillow, but the Taillow was fast

and dodged quickly, rising into the air. "Treecko Vine Whip!"

Treecko lashed out at Taillow with a vine, effectively slamming

it back down onto the ground. "Poke…BALL!" Brennan threw a

pokeball at Taillow, which then gave the signal that Taillow had

been captured.

"Cool! Come on out, Taillow!" shouted Brennan, releasing

Taillow from the pokeball. Taillow flew above Brennan's head,

chirping happily. Landing on Brennan's shoulder, Taillow rode

shotgun there all the way to the ship, when Brennan kept it in

its pokeball again. As they walked up to the ship, the trio were

excited about the adventures to come.

"Now arriving at the Tsuyosa region." The speaker

sounded. "Looks like we're where we need to be. Guys, let's

go!" said Daniel as he rushed down the metallic steps to

Tsuyosa. His friends were close behind, landing on the ground

right after him. They were handed a brochure, giving

information about Tsuyosa. "So this is Aquaload Town. It's a

main port where ships can load and unload cargo and

passengers." Said Sydney, reading from the brochure. Right in

front of them was what seemed to be a small wooden hut, and

in it a fisherman. "Excuse me, what's the nearest way to…"

Sydney checked the brochure, looking for the closest city or

town "Primrose City?" Sydney finished her sentence. "Oh,

that's simple! If you walk straight ahead, down the path, you'll

see a sign that points east and says 'Primrose City'. You follow

it, and soon you'll see the city." The fisherman answered. With

a quick 'thank you', the trio headed down the path into a dense

forest.

They were surrounded by trees. Tall, big, trees. The green

canopy above them gave shade, cooling them down. "Let's take

a rest here, for now." Said Brennan, plopping down on the

damp dirt. "Trapmouth!" a pokemon forcefully emerged from

the ground a few inches from where Brennan was sitting. It was

a large red worm, the size of a brachiosaurus. Sydney took out

her pokedex and aimed it at the Trapmouth. "Unknown

Pokemon." The pokedex simply said. "Sydney, this is Tsuyosa,

not Hoenn. Our pokedexes won't know what this pokemon is!"

said Daniel, over the roaring of the Trapmouth. "So this is why

this is called Tsuyosa! Strength! STRONG POKEMON!" shouted

Brennan, as the Trapmouth sent gusts of wind towards them

"See? It can use GUST!" The three of them were holding on

tightly to branches of trees, and Brennan tried sending out

Taillow, who was unable to cope with the strong wind, and was

sent tumbling back into the forest. "Let go guys!" Brennan's

simple command was followed by everyone, and they were

soon tumbling the same way as Taillow.

When they landed, they were on a pavement, with Taillow

by their side. "Looks like we found it. Primrose City." Said

Daniel staring up at the unfamiliar buildings. As they walked

further into the city, they saw a Gym. "Cool! A gym!" said

Daniel and Brennan simultaneously, and they rushed inside.

"Welcome to the Primrose Gym!" said the Gym Leader. "I'm

Cindy, and this Gym is only a small test to trainers. It's a Poison

Gym, and it will be a one on one battle. As I said, it is a test, and

thus no badge." "Cool! Torchic I choose you!" said Daniel,

sending out the small red pokemon. "Go, Venipede!" Cindy

sent out a pokemon resembling a centipede, with a red

exoskeleton and green stripes on its thorax and abdomen.

"Let's check out this pokemon on the pokedex!" said Brennan.

Venipede, the Centipede Pokémon. Venipede explores its

surroundings by sensing vibrations in the air with feelers on its

head and tail. "Alright since it's a Bug pokemon use Ember,

Torchic!" Torchic sent out glowing embers at Venipede, doing a

considerably large amount of damage to it. Venipede struggled

to stay on its feet, but did it nonetheless. "Good job, Venipede. Now use Poison Sting!" Cindy commanded. "Dodge with Quick

Attack Torchic then Peck!" said Daniel, and Torchic, with its

speed, evaded the attack, and struck from behind with a Peck

attack. The Venipede used Poison Sting, but still to no avail.

Torchic was too quick, and Venipede missed its target. "Torchic,

Ember and end this!" Torchic followed Daniel's instructions,

using Ember, and defeating Venipede. "Good job! You defeated

me!" said Cindy, shaking Daniel's hand.

"Ok, me next!" said Brennan enthusiastically. Cindy sent

out Nidoran , and Brennan used Taillow. "Oh! I know this

pokemon! Taillow Gust!" "Nidoran dodge then Horn Attack!"

Nidoran was quick enough to dodge, but Taillow flew high and

Nidoran couldn't hit her. "Nidoran use Scratch!" Nidoran used

another physical attack, but due to Taillow being able to fly,

missed again. "Taillow Peck!" Taillow's beak glowed bright

white and it hit Nidoran. However, she was grazed by one of

Nidoran's horns, poisoning her. She fell to the ground, and

Nidoran took the opportunity to charge with a Horn Attack,

hitting Taillow. Taillow lifted its wings, and began to use Gust,

which blew Nidoran back. Taillow pecked Nidoran again, and

again, multiple times, until it fainted. "You beat me. But as I

said, I am only a test to young trainers. They do not have to

beat me, and the other Gym Leaders are much stronger than

me. Good luck!" said Cindy, waving them out of the Gym.

Brennan and Daniel have defeated a Gym Test, and they are

going on their journey in Tsuyosa. They have already met a

deadly pokemon, Trapmouth, and there is still more to come.
