AN: Alright, here's the second installment. Where we get to meet the whole team! Hope you enjoy it! R&R that would be awesome!
Lilly and Kat whirled around to see two taller boys walking towards them, Lilly knew the tallest one; he had semi-long brown hair with sunglasses resting on top of his head, Emerald eyes and he was wearing his usual white shirt with a blue vest draped over it, light blue jeans and sneakers, his white bag was lazily tossed over one shoulder.
"Evan! What are you doing here?" Lilly exclaimed as she hugged her friend and then looked to the other boy who was much taller than her as well with blonde messily spiked hair and he was wearing a dark blue petticoat with a white scarf thrown around his neck, he too was wearing blue jeans but he had boots on and a dark green saddlebag thrown onto his shoulder
"Caleb?" Lilly said as she stared at her friends, she didn't understand what they were doing in Violet City
"Wait…I thought you lived in Sinnoh, Caleb?" Kat asked, also with a confused look on her face
"Yea, My sister was getting obnoxious about running her Gym…So I decided to take a vacation from Snowpoint and come visit my Grandpa in Mahogany Town up North and I met up with Evan at his house in Olivine. Then he mentioned that you moved into New Bark town and we decided to come for a visit before trudging up to Mahogany" Caleb flashed a smile and fixed his bag on his shoulder, Evan nodding in agreement
"Well thanks for thinking of me guys, I haven't seen you since last summer on the S.S. Anne cruise! I just got my first Pokémon from Professor Elm. Kat and I are starting our Pokémon adventure!" Lilly jumped up and down for a second, overwhelmed with her excitement as she felt something tug at her pant leg. She looked down to find a familiar four-legged yellow Pokémon with spiky fur all over it's body and a white mane. It was Evan's first Pokémon and childhood friend, Sparky the Jolteon. She was pulling at Lilly's leg so that she would pay attention to her
"Awe, Sparky…how could I forget you!" Lilly exclaimed as she reached down and scratched under Jolteon's chin, the little Pokémon cooed happily and then returned to Evan's side when she was finished
"I'm surprised she likes you…that Pokémon can't stand me…" Caleb said sarcastically and shot the Pokémon an irritated look
"Don't take it personally, Caleb. Sparky likes so few people in this world…" Evan tried to console him, even the sympathetic look on Lilly's face didn't make him feel better and he just crossed his arms and shrugged it off
"Well, We were just heading to the Pokémon center and then going to look around" Kat smiled at the both of them, Evan and Caleb looked at each other and then they shrugged
"Well, we're not in a big hurry. So why don't we join you guys, We can check out the Bellsprout Tower! I just traded one for an Onyx with this boy on the other side of town and I wanna start training him!" Evan pulled out a Pokéball from his backpack and held it up for Lilly to see
"Oh awesome! We'll do that then!" Kat nodded as they all walked to the poke center to heal up their Pokémon.
"Well, since we're starting a new adventure…I think I'll start fresh and send my old Pokémon home and just keep Onyx…" Evan said as he sat down at one of the computers off the center
"JOLT!" Sparky exclaimed as she glared at Evan, Evan laughed and placed a hand on her head
"You don't count, I wouldn't think of leaving you at home!" he smiled as he dialed his mom.
A few moments later, a blonde woman appeared on the screen and greeted them
"OH, Evan! How are things? Did you make it to New Bark Town alright?" Evan's Mom asked as Jolteon jumped up in his lap so that she could see her
"JOL- TEON!" she exclaimed excitedly, Evan's Mom laughed as Evan pushed her back to the floor
"Hello to you too Jolteon! Missing you both! OH…Hello everyone, I didn't see you there" she laughed as she noticed everyone standing behind Evan waving and smiling.
"Well, What can I do for you guys?" she asked with a wide smile. Evan held up four other Pokéballs and placed them all in the slot
"I'm gunna send you my Pokémon, I'm going to start fresh and go with Lilly and Kat on their adventure!" he smiled as his Pokéballs were transferred to his Mom
"alright Evan, I'll take good care of them! Good luck and be careful. If you girls are going to challenge the Gym Leaders make sure you stop by and see me before you challenge Jasmine! Bye!" she cheered as she hung up the call and the screen went blank as Evan scoffed at Jasmine's name.
"Well, are we all healed up and ready to hit the tower?" Caleb smiled as he shouldered his bag once again, now ladled down with goodies from Nurse Joy.
The four of them jogged up the beaten path towards a very large tower in the distance, they crossed the bridge leading to the little beach where the tower had been built, they watched as two kids walked out talking excitedly
"Wow…a 50 foot tall Bellsprout! I would love to see that!"
"I can't believe they believe it's the support beam to the tower, did you see how the support beam wiggled?" They continued to talk about it as they ran off into the distance, Evan laughed and Caleb shook his head
"Wow…people will believe anything" Lilly giggled as they entered the tower and were greeted by a bald monk
"Hello, Welcome to the Bellsprout tower. Will all four of you be participating in the Bellsprout challenge?" he asked smiling at all four of them, they all nodded.
"Great, since there are four floors we will have each of you battle one of our monks on each floor and then lastly our master at the top and your group will win a fabulous prize" he smiled as he bowed out of the way and waved a hand towards the stairway leading up to the first floor, the four of them looked from one to the other
"Oh for Pete sake…I'll go first" Caleb laughed as he lead them up the stairs to the arena where a monk was sitting at the other end with two Pokéballs sitting in his lap
"Welcome challenger, shall we get started?" the monk smiled as he stood up and held his Pokéball at the ready.
Caleb stepped forward and pulled out one of his Pokéballs and nodded as the monk spoke again
"We will use two Pokémon each" he grunted as he tossed his Pokéball and it burst open to reveal a very small, vine looking Pokémon with a large yellow flower looking head with two beady little eyes on the top
"Bell?" it looked to it's trainer then at Caleb, Caleb smiled
"I won't need two, Frosty GO!" Caleb called out as he threw his Pokéball and it revealed a medium sized white Pokémon with a brown underside, it looked like a snow covered mountain with eyes.
The monk smiled then narrowed his eyes as he pointed at the Snover
"Bellsprout, use Sleep Powder!" the little flower Pokémon inhaled filling it's mouth to the brim
"Frosty, use Icy wind to reverse the powder on Bellsprout!" Snover quickly took in a deep breath and they both blew at the same time, but Snover's wind seemed to be stronger than Bellsprout's powder and Bellsprout was hit with both a large gust of wind with sharp icicles and the sleep powder at the same time, sending Bellsprout toppling over itself.
"Caleb comes from a long line of Ice Pokémon trainers, his sister is Candace the Gym leader in Snowpoint City from Sinnoh. His Grandfather is Pryce, the Ice leader from Mahogany and his mother is Lorelei who left the Elite four and moved away to Sinnoh" Evan said to Kat who nodded at this information.
The monk returned his Bellsprout staring at the Snover in disbelief
"As a Grass Pokémon trainer, you should know that your Pokémon are weak against ice!" Caleb smirked as he crossed his arms and his Snover stretched out and yawned, the monk merely glared as he threw his next Pokéball.
A little purple rat Pokémon appeared and sneered at the Snover on the other side of the arena
"Rattata, quick attack!" the monk called out and the Rattata vanished out of sight and would appear every few feet, speeding towards Snover.
"Frosty, use Razor leaf" Caleb said trying to find Rattata with his own eyes, Snover however just started shooting leaves with razor edges all around his body when Rattata jumped up and appeared above his head
"Rattata double it up with a Bite attack!" cried the monk as Rattata fell down on Snover's chest and crashed him into the ground turning around and biting him hard on the arm
"SNO!" Snover called out as he wiggled his arm and started running in circles trying to throw Rattata from his arm
"Frosty! Stop running in circles and use Grasswhistle" Caleb called out "Rattata, use tail whip and then another Bite!" the monk said at the same time as Caleb, but Rattata was quicker.
Rattata swung around and slapped Snover across the face with it's little purple tail and Snover fell over backwards as Rattata came down on him for another bite attack, knocking Snover unconscious.
"Frosty, return!" Caleb grumbled as he rummaged around in his saddlebag for his next Pokémon. Caleb found the ball he was looking for, this one was an all black Pokéball with a red ring around the top of it and gold trim, a Luxury ball.
"Sneasel Go!" Caleb called out as he threw the Pokéball to reveal a all black cat looking Pokémon who was standing on two legs holding out it's arms with large white claws on the end, it had a pink feather protruding from it's right ear and three pink feathers as a tail.
"My sister gave this Pokémon to me before I left, time to test him out!" Caleb smirked
"Sneasel, Agility!" "Rattata, Quick attack!" Rattata dashed forward towards Sneasel but Sneasel kept dodging the attack, Rattata could not hit him
"Sneasel, swing into Fury swipes!" Caleb called out as Sneasel dodged the Rattata's attack again and swung at the little rat's face, scratching deeply into the side of it's body then again in the same spot. Sneasel kept scratching at the Rattata and then kicked it to the other side of the arena where the little rat struggled to it's feet again
"Rattata! Are you alright?!" the monk cried as the Sneasel crossed it's arms and glared at Rattata waiting for it's next move
"Rat…..at…" Rattata whimpered as it stood up wincing in pain, Caleb stared at the little Pokémon
"Sneasel…finish it with a REAL Quick attack!" Caleb exclaimed as Sneasel dashed forward and threw it's weight into Rattata's side sending the little Pokémon flying and into unconsciousness, the monk returned the little Pokémon and bowed to his opponent
"You are truly strong, please proceed" the monk smiled and waved at the stairs next to him and the four of them headed for them after Caleb returned his Sneasel.
"That's one strong Pokémon!" Kat exclaimed looking at the Luxury ball with excitement
"Yea, my sister gave it to me before I left. She said it would protect me while I was on my journey…I wonder how she knew I would set out on a journey in Johto…ha-ha" Caleb smiled down at the ball as he placed it in his bag
"Snowpoint City…Isn't that the city in the cold north of Sinnoh? I know that Sinnoh itself is very cold all the time, right?" Lilly asked as they reached the next floor, Caleb smiled and nodded
"It is the ideal place for Winter trainers like myself and my family to train and become strong but anyway, who is going next?" Caleb trailed off as they looked into the arena and could see a familiar trainer coming towards them, she was wearing all red and had black hair down to her shoulders and a scowl on her face
"Hey losers…" Olive shot at them as she stopped a few feet away, Evan stepped forward
"Who are you?" he spat as Lilly pulled on his arm
"It's just Olive, she's sworn herself as Kat and my Rival. She lived in New Bark town" Olive looked down at the growling Jolteon between Evan's legs
"Humph…what a weakling…it's fur is all brushed out and this Pokémon doesn't look like it's seen a day of battle, what a waste" Olive smirked as she stared Evan directly in the face, he glared at her
"DO YOU WANT TO BET ON THAT?!" Evan exclaimed as Jolteon gritted her teeth and faired up the spikes on her body
"Let's do this, pretty boy" Olive smirked as she walked over to the far side of the arena
"Excuse me Monk, but could you just ref this match…I'll be sending these weaklings packing for you" Olive glared evilly at Evan who was standing on his end with Jolteon, furious.
"Have either of you actually seen Evan in battle?" Lilly asked them as she sat on the bench to the side of the room, the other two shook their heads
"Then you're in for a treat, Sparky is a lot stronger than she looks"
"Go, Rocky!" Olive cried as she threw the Pokéball revealing a large boulder looking Pokémon with large muscular arms, a Geodude.
"Sparky, you know what to do!" Evan smiled as Jolteon impatiently flew into the arena, ready to fight for her pride.
