Chapter 2: A new adventure

The sun was setting down over Pallet Town and everyone was going inside, because despite that it was late summer it was already chilly outside when the sun vanishes. Only one boy was still outside, sitting on the rooftop of his house with his Pikachu on his lap. The boy was lost in thoughts.

'What should I do next?' I don't feel like travelling around anymore but I don't want to give up on my life as a trainer as well. Damn. This is frustrating!'

Noticing the frustration of his trainer and friend, Pikachu decides to ask Sato whats the matter with him.

(Entering Pokémon Language)

"What's wrong with you Sato? You're looking so sad since we're back in Kanto."

"I don't know Pikachu. I don't feel like I want travelling around anymore, but I don't know what to do next! Damned!" Sato hit the roof with his fist.

"What's about the offer Enishida made to you?"

"Enishida? Wait... You mean the guy who leads the Battle Fron..." Sato stopped mid sentence when he remembered what offer Enishida made him almost a year ago.

'I could become a Frontier Brain! I don't have to give up my life as a trainer but I also don't need to travel around anymore! And...And...' Sato was now grinning over both cheeks as he realised what becoming a Frontier Brain would mean too:

'And I'm able to see Lila again!'

"Thank you Pikachu! I own you a big bottle of ketchup my old friend!"

"I keep that in mind." answered the little mouse Pokémon smiling.

(Leaving Pokémon Language)

Sato, now with a new goal in mind, was now sliding down the roof and running into the house and into his room. As he lays down in his bed and starts to drift off in the world of dreams he couldn't help but smiling happily.

'Don't worry Lila. I'm coming back soon'

At the same time near Tojoh Falls

A girl with lilac hair was sitting in her bed, breathing fast.

'Am I going crazy? There was Sato-kun's voice again...'

"Espeon?" the cat Pokémon asked.

"Don't worry about me Espeon. I'm okay" the girl said, trying to force a smile.

'Sato-kun, please, please come back to me. I can't wait any longer.'

Back in Pallet Town

As the first sunshine braked through the clouds, Sato was already awake and making breakfast much to his mothers surprise.

"Sato-kun?" She asks sleepily. "You are making breakfast? So early in the morning? What's up with you?"

"Nothing is wrong, Kaasan! I'm just happy today." he said, turning around and smiling. This time, his mother could clearly see, it was a genuine smile and that he was truly happy.

"And whys that?" she asks.

"Because I know what to do next. After breakfast I will call Enishida, you know the boss from the Battle Frontiers who drives like a maniac, and ask him if his offer for me becoming a Frontier Brain still stands."

"Oh that's wonderful sweetie! I'm going up and pack your things for you!"

"Thanks Kaasan." replied Sato, while finishing his breakfast. After he had finished he was running down the road to Dr. Okido's lab. Said person was standing outside and feeding the Pokémon as Sato came running towards him.

"Dr. Okido! Good Morning!" he was shouting already from the distance.

"Sato! Good Morning too my friend. How are you?" the old man was asking as Sato came to a stop.

"I'm fine, thanks. Dr. Okido I need to use your phone. I have to call an old friend."

"Of course Sato. Go right ahead."

"Thanks Doc!"

As soon as Sato was inside and at the videophone he was dialing Enishidas number.

'Come on, come on. Pick up already.' Sato was impatiently thinking.

"Enishida here. Who am I speak... Satoshi? Is that you?"

"Yeah it's me Enishida. I'm back from Sinnoh and I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead boy."

"The offer you made a year ago, does it still stand?"

"You want to become a Frontier Brain Sato? Of course, the offer ist still standing. So you take it?"

"Yes, I want to become a Frontier Brain!"

"Wonderful! Okay, give me a second... Ah here it is! Okay can we meet at the Battle Frontier Headquarter in Saffron City in two weeks?"

"Two weeks? Yeah, that's fine with me. See you there Enishida!"

"Until then, Sato."

'two weeks? Enough time to visit the person I want to see the most.'

Back outside Dr. Okido was wondering why the young boy needed to use the phone so much.

"Doc! I'm back. Thanks again." Sato said coming back outside.

"Why did you need to use the phone, Sato?"

"I've called Enishida and now I'm becoming a Frontier Brain! I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? But you came back only yesterday!"

"Yeah, I know. But I want to visit someone before I'm meeting Enishida."

"Hm, well. If you're already leaving tomorrow, you should decide which Pokémon you're taking with you." the old man said.

"Yeah, let's go." Sato replied and started walking towards to Pokémon.

"Hey everyone. I need some of for my new travel." Sato greeted the Pokémon.

It was already evening when Sato finally had chosen five Pokémon to come with him. He had chosen: Infernape, Staraptor, Sceptile, Donphan and Buizel since Pikachu is already with him on every journey. He returned home where is mother was already waiting with the dinner.

"How did it go, Sato-kun?" his mother asked.

"Great! Enishida wants to meet me in two weeks in Saffron City but I'm already leaving tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow? But you came back only yesterday!" Hanako said with shock.

"Yeah, I know. Dr. Okido said the same. I want to visit someone in Tojoh Falls before I go to Saffron City."

"Well, it's not that I can stop you. I'm packing your backpack so you can leave tomorrow after breakfast."

"Thanks Kaasan!" Sato said, hugging his mother. "I'm going to bed so I wont oversleep tomorrow!"

With that he was already running up the stairs and into his room. As he laid down in his bed, he thought:

'Tomorrow. Tomorrow I will see you again Lila.'

At the next morning, Sato was up before even the first sunshine could be seen. He grabbed his backpack and said his mother goodbye before called out his Staraptor.

"Ready for a flight my friend?" he asked the flying-type Pokémon.

"Star!" the Pokémon exclaimed.

"Then let's go! To Tojoh Falls my friend." Sato said, sitting down on Staraptors back.

In the forest near the Battle Tower

Lila was walking through the forest as a loud noise of falling trees could be heard.

'What was that noise? I can feel that the Pokémon are in danger. What is happening there?' she thought as she was running towards the clearing the noise came from.

'What the...?' the psychic trainer thought as she arrived at the clearing. In the middle of the clearing was a big robot who was catching the Pokémon.

"Espeon! Use Psybeam!" the girl said to his Pokémon to stop the robot. The attack hit the robot right at the head. Nothing happened. The robot turned around. A big red R could be seen on its front.

Hehe. I'm really cruel to end this chapter with a cliffhanger. A big robot with a red R on its front? I'm sure we all know who that is ;)
