I wanted to do the Roman Numerals for awhile, and I forgot to on the first three chapters, sorry O_O

HGSS: Sinnoh Saga

Season 1

Chapter IV: Jubilee for Jubilife

A town sat in front of the group. More over, a pathway into the large city was before them.

"Ah...Jubilife! The only time I was ever here was when my mom had me attend the Trainer School...for one day...then I was expelled..." Dawn explained.

"Whoa, why?" Ethan said quickly.

"Well, I wanted to battle with a pokemon as soon as I got there, but we weren't allowed to yet. So, I sneaked out of class one day and I...You know where this is going..." Dawn finished as they walked down the blacktop street.

"I see. So you're as rebel as you look?" Jim said, cocking his head towards her.

"Excuse me..." Dawn said as she stopped. "One thing: I don't look rebel. I look cute! And another, no, I'm just a sweet girl..." She stood on her tiptoes. "Can't you tell?" She smiled.

Jim glanced at Ethan and gave her a courtesy smile. "'Course I can!"

The trio enters further into the city, and find a building that had a Pokemon Center embedded in the base of it.

"Oh cool! This is the 'Mall Center' that Jubilife is famous for!" Dawn cheered. "Well, there are two cities in each region with it...but Jubilife was the second city ever to get one!"

"What? I never saw one like this in Johto, let alone two cities there," Ethan commented. Jim agreed.

"Johto hasn't grown accustom to it yet. They're still in the process. Anyway, COME ON!" She grabbed their arms and yanked them in the building.

Ethan nodded. "Of course. The region I was in just happened to be the only one...never mind..."

"It seems like you're breaking the fourth wall, Ethan..." Jim said as they entered the building.

"What are you talking about?" Ethan asked as he smirked.

Inside, they saw Dawn was already standing at a counter to the right side of the building, buying things.

As Jim and Ethan passed, they heard her chatter with the clerk.

"Yeah, and a Smoke Ball, and some Pokeballs and some Repel," she said almost professionally.

The clerk set the items on the counter. The man took her card and scanned it. She was handed it back. Dawn packed the items and threw her bag over her shoulder.

"Thank you!" She said as she sauntered over to the counter Nurse Joy stood behind.

"Yup. And that's when I met L.L. Cool J...and..." Jim was saying to the Nurse. Ethan turned him around. "Oh, hey Dawn!"

Dawn saw Nurse Joy looked like she had a fake smile across her face.

"Hey, guys. So, we heading out? I really want to get to Oreburgh!" She insisted.

"Yes, we know! But..." Ethan started. He waved to Jim.

"There's a contest here! Tomorrow! We have to stay...I'll promise right now, we'll be gone in two days..." Jim thought for a second, and glanced at Ethan. "Three, tops!"

Dawn rolled her eyes.

Ethan shrugged. "Well, it's not like you'd just go without us...So..." He started.

Dawn looked shocked, and she stepped back. "You don't think so, do ya!" Without another word, she snapped and stormed outside. Ethan and Jim tapped their foots. Suddenly, the doors flew open again. "Fine. Three days at the MOST!" She said at last. The boys high-fived.

"Let's go to the Contest Hall to get you registered," Ethan suggested to Jim.

Later, a large yellow building was in front of the three trainers. There were two large 'garden' areas to the sides, where people were training for the contest. Off to one side, Ethan spotted two trainers battling.

"Jim, Dawn, you two head inside. I'll be there."

The two trainers shrugged and headed inside the building. Ethan rounded some high shrubbery and took a better look at the two trainers.

"Huh?" He noticed the short red hair of one trainer, and a white, spiky hat atop the other's head.

"Plusle, Minun, Spark!" Two small electric pokemon dashed forward, shrouded in electricity. They slammed into a Sneasel and Yanma, throwing them to the ground in front of the red-haired boy.

"Hmph...Return, Sneasel, Yanma. Thanks..." The boy nodded. "Nice battle, Brandon..." He turned and his eyes almost shot out of his head. "E-Ethan?"

"Silver?"

Silver's raised his eyebrows, but plowed past Ethan, and out of sight.

Ethan turned and watched as he fled, his black and purple jacket making it easy to keep him noticed.

Ethan turned back to Brandon. "Hey, Brandon!"

The boy smirked. "Oh, long time no see, Ethan!" Brandon said, waving and coming closer. As he approached, the two pokemon from before, one with blue ears, one with red, hopped onto his shoulders.

"What are you doing in the Sinnoh Region?" Ethan asked.

"I just decided that after I lost the Hoenn League, I would try my chances here in Sinnoh..." He pointed to the two pokemon on his shoulders. "I brought two of my pokemon from Hoenn. They helped in the Hoenn a LOT!" Brandon explained.

Ethan nodded. "Great. So, I suppose you haven't gotten any badges?" Ethan inquired.

Brandon pulled out a purple badge case. "One. The Coal Badge. I just headed back here to train before Eterna City, which is past Floaroma Town."

"So, you were acquainted with Silver?" Ethan asked.

"Who? Oh, that guy back there?" The shocked face twelve year-old asked. "Never met him. I just walked up to him sitting on a bench, where he was juggling a pokeball, and asked him for a match...You know him?"

"Yeah. He's an old rival."

Jim tapped Ethan on his shoulder. Ethan whirred around.

"Ethan, Dawn is doing some...expedition..." Jim pointed to the girl, who was standing in front of her Turtwig, across from a blue and black pokemon with a tail, star tipped on the end.

Ethan and Jim, along with a following Brandon, appeared at her backside.

"Turtwig, Tackle!" Turtwig dashed forward at high-speed and slammed into the pokemon. "All right, Turtwig, don't let that Shinx get away! Razor Leaf!" Turtwig flipped backward into the air and rolled, releasing waves of leaves that crashed down on the pokemon. "Great..." Dawn drew a Great Ball and tossed it. "Shinx is mine!"

The ball sailed and fell on the pokemon. It sucked it inside. After a few shakes, it erupted from the ball and Shinx was in the air. It released electricity around its body and threw itself down at Turtwig.

"Turtwig, use Razor Leaf!" Turtwig rolled and released more leaves, breaking the electricity and throwing it back to the ground. "And...another one!" Dawn drew a Great Ball and threw it. This one sucked it inside, and kept it. Dawn cheered and hurried next to the ball, holding it up high.

"Great. You caught a Shinx. So...you gonna use that in the Gym Battle in Oreburgh?" Ethan asked.

"Won't really help," Brandon chirped. "Sorry, but Oreburgh is a Rock-Gym..."

"That's okay!" Dawn said happily. "I have Turtwig!"

"And you need three pokemon..." Brandon finished.

Dawn sweatdropped and coughed. "That is okay!" She insisted. "I'll get one by then...Anyway, Jim, you should be practicing for your contest!"

Jim snapped and smiled, heading towards one of the gardens. Ethan raised a brow.

"That's all you have to say and...he's out like a light..." He said jokingly.

"Out meaning out of the picture right?" Brandon counter-joked.

"Weeeeell...Who in the world are you?" Dawn asked, put the ball in a pocket in her bag.

Brandon snickered. "Just another trainer. Apparently, ya'lls competition in the Sinnoh League..." Brandon waved his hand and he walked towards the front of the Contest Hall, his pokemon gripping his shoulders.

"Weeeeell, okay then..." Dawn whispered to herself.

"Anything else to do except go watch Jim?" Ethan asked.

Ethan and Dawns shrugged, and headed the way Jim had gone.

As they approached a garden, Ethan's eyes bulged.

There in front of Ethan, stood a girl he knew as...Lyra Soulstice.
