We were on our way to Nacrene city for Robin's next gym battle. If you were to see us, you would see the sight of a young girl riding on a bike with a fish in her basket. Robin was in a good mood because of her last battle at the Striaton Gym. We were biking along until we came upon a fork in the road.

"Which road do you suppose leads to Nacrene City?" asked Robin.

'I don't know. It shouldn't hurt to go down one path and ask for directions.' I suggested.

We went right and headed down the path. Before long, we arrived at an opening to a cave. "Where do you suppose this cave leads to?" asked Robin.

'We should go in and check it out. There is a sign that says this is called Wellspring Cave,' I said. We headed into the cave. It was very musky and dark. It was kind of spooky. It was awfully quiet and there was no sign of life. That is, when we heard the sound of wings flapping. Robin and I looked up and noticed dozens of Woobats flying towards us. Robin screamed and grabbed me off the bike as she tried to runaway from the woobats flying towards us. Robin tipped over a jagged rock and fell, but the woobats did not stop and continued flying forward into the darkness of the cave.

'Look, there's water!' I said. Robin looked up and saw the lake that was in front of us. An lake in a cave, now that was a sight to see. We then began to hear footsteps.

"Do you hear that?" asked Robin. I nodded and Robin took off toward the other end of the lake without looking back. Now, all we wanted to do was to get out of there. When we just began to calm down, we heard the sound of metal scraping against the ground. We both tensed up again, but we noticed that it was Robin's bike that was inching towards us. She had left it back in the narrow tunnel where the woobats were.

'Hey, it's a Roggenrola!' I said interestly. Sure enough, behind the bike, there was a little rock pokemon pushing the bike forward toward us.

'Miss, you left your bike behind,' he said.

Robin didn't know what to say. "Umm. Yeah, I did leave it back there. Thank you for returning it to me." Robin began to lighten up as she realized this pokemon was nice and completely harmless.

'Wait! You can understand me?' He asked.

I explained to the Roggenrola, 'Her name is Robin and she is my trainer. She was born with a natural ability to understand what pokemon are saying. Don't worry, it surprised me to.'

"Why did you help us, aren't you a wild pokemon?" asked Robin.

'Actually, I use to be a trainers pokemon just a few days ago. However, he was influenced by Team Plasma's speech at accumula Town and was persuaded by them. He left me here in this cave and left. He said that it would be best for me. But it's not! I feel so lonely here. There isn't much pokemon here and it could get scary.'

"That's so sad! I'm so sorry for you." said Robin sympathetically. "That Team Plasma is nothing but trouble! Hey! Do you want to travel with us? Do you want me to be your new pokemon trainer?"

I reassured him saying, 'Robin is a very kind person. Even for a useless pokemon like me, she made me happy and supported me, and most of all, she believed in me and all her other pokemon. I met many trainers before, but no one was as considerate or as caring as Robin.'

'Ok, then! I'll be glad to travel with you guys!' Said Roggenrola with enthusiasm. As we were celebrating about having a new pokemon on the team, we began to hear the footsteps from before. We all froze and listened until we saw a figure step into sight. It was a young man, maybe early twenties. He had long green hair and a cap. His stare seemed very strong.

"Who are you !" cried Robin as she backed away.

"My name is N" he replied calmly. "I have been following you for a few days now, and you had caught my attention."

Roggenrola jumped in front of Robin and said, 'I'll protect you! My new pokemon trainer.'

"I never met anyone who had the same powers as I do. You see, Robin. Like you, I can also understand what pokemon are saying. I thought I was the only one. In a way, seeing you makes me kind of relieved." He paused for a moment glancing at us, her pokemon, and then sighed and continued, "But it's a shame that you do not believe in Team Plasma's dream. I feel very strongly about this subject. Why did you not release your pokemon? Pokemon can only be truly happy if they are separate from their trainers and live independently."

Roggenrola chimed in, 'Hey! That's not true. When my trainer left me, I became much sadder. Separating pokemon from their trainers is not what's best for them!'

"Yeah!" supported Robin. "My pokemon are happy with me, and forcing them to leave me will only hurt them!"

"You really believe that?" asked N. "Ok then. She me your resolve. Fight me right here with a one on one battle!"

"What?!" said Robin surprised.

'Let me fight!' Said Roggenrola. 'As your new pokemon, I want to show you my strength.'

"Alright, I guess I chose you, Roggenrola." said Robin doubtedly towards this battle with N.

"Purloin, I come on out!" said N, as a little, purple cat appear between the two. It got up and stood on its hind legs.

"Purloin, use fury swipes." said N as Purloin pounced forward and claw at Roggenrola five times. Roggenrola didn't even flinch.

"For someone who seems so confident, normal is ineffective against rock!" said Robin. "Roggenrola, um… what moves do you know?"

'Just tell him a move. I'm sure he will figure it out. I sense that he is a pretty smart pokemon.' I said.

"Um ok! Use rock blast!" said Robin. Roggenrola immediately shot out three pieces of rock.

"Dodge it, purloin!" yelled N. Purloin was able to dodge the first two, but the first two acted as barriers. When the last when came flying in, it managed to crush the purloin. The purloin had fainted.

N seemed to maintain his calm mindedness and summoned Purloin back into his pokeball. "It seems that I have underestimated you, Robin. You are well of on your way to make it to the pokemon league with the way you battle."

"Uh…..thanks?" said Robin warily.

"I will leave you in peace for now. But I will be coming back. And by then, I hope you will be persuaded to follow my ideal world." said N as he started to walk away. "Oh and by the way, to exit this cave, you have to go forward until you reach a wall and make a right. You will be back outside."

With that, N had disappeared into the darkness. "Thank you for the directions" said Robin. "Well, let's get going. I'm very tired of this cave." said Robin.

When we finally got outside, we let Tepig out to greet our new member. Roggenrola preferred to stay in a pokeball, so that's what Robin did. After that, she summoned Tepig and Roggenrola back into their pokeballs and we were on our way again to Nacrene City.
