On route 103 Narrisa and her Pokémon are making their way through to reach petalburg city. Along the way Narrisa and her Pokémon were fighting off all the wild Pokémon they encounter on the way.
"Narrisa the tailow is too high up I cant hit it" Bandit said to Narrisa.
"Well if that's the case then, Emilia aim your water gun on its wings" Narrisa commanded for Emilia.
Emilia nodding at Narrisa's command flew up to the sky and aimed its water gun at the tailows right wing. Emilia's water gun was on point that it nearly took of the tailows wing and the tailow soon crashed to the ground barely able to get up.
"Now Bandit! Use tackle" Narrisa commanded for Bandit.
Bandit taking his chance charged for the struggling tailow on the ground and bashed into it pinning it on the tree behind it making a crunching sound. The tailow feeling the force of the impact made a loud squeal before laying limp in between the tree and bandit. Bandit realizing the tailow is now dead released it and jogged back to Narrisa.
"Good job Bandit" said Narrisa while petting Bandit's head "and you to Emilia" said to Emilia who landed on Narrisa's right shoulder.
"While I was up their Narrisa I noticed that petalburg was straight ahead from here" said Emilia.
"Great it seems we would get their before sun down" Narrisa said looking up at the sky "okay you two return" Narrisa said and called back her Pokémon to their pokeballs.
After walking for a few minutes Narrisa soon made it out of route 103 and petalburg city was now in sight. Narrisa paused a bit to take in all she was seeing; a couple of houses scattered around the place, a Pokémon center and mart, and lastly her goal: the petalburg city gym and its leader. Soon without a moment to loose Narrisa sprinted all the way to petalburg city filled with excitement on what was to come next.
In petalburg city Narrisa first visited the Pokémon center to get her Pokémon healed up and ready for the gym challenge. Inside the Pokémon center the nurse in the front desk welcomed her in.
"Hi welcome to the Pokémon center, how may I be of service?" The nurse said to Narrisa.
Narrisa looking at the nurse with a skeptical look replied back to her.
"Yeah..can you heal up my Pokémon please" Narrisa said while looking at the nurse closely.
"Is their a problem miss?" The nurse asked noticing how Narrisa was looking at her.
"No...its just that you look very familiar...you don't happen to be the same nurse in oldale town are you?" Narrisa asking the nurse.
"Oh that! No I'm not, the person you were referring to was my sister" the nurse said to Narrisa.
"Oh okay, you two looks so identical" Narrisa said to the nurse.
"Don't worry about it I tend to get that a lot, anyways here place your pokeballs here and I'll heal them up for you" the nurse said while retrieving a tray from under the counter and placing it in front of her.
Narrisa placed down her pokeballs on the tray and gave it back to the nurse. The nurse took the tray and placed it on the machine behind her.
"They will be done in a few minutes, please wait until their healing is done" said the nurse.
"Okay I'll be back to pick them up later, I'm just going to look around at the gym for a bit" said Narrisa to the nurse.
So Narrisa left the Pokémon center and headed straight for the petalburg city gym which was conveniently near the Pokémon center. Narrisa now outside the gym was about to enter the doors when the doors suddenly opened revealing her father opening the doors for a disappointed trainer. After Narrisa's father talked to the trainer for a bit he patted the trainers back and soon the trainer left passing by Narrisa. Her father noticing Narrisa was just standing outside told her to come in.
"Oh why isn't it my little Narrisa, why don't you come in? I'm guessing it took you a while to get here" Narrisa's father, Norman, asked her.
Narrisa following her fathers request nodded and went inside the gym where they would talk. Narrisa now inside the gym was surprised on how traditional the gym looked. Norman seeing how awe struck she was soon spoke up.
"You like the place? I designed my gym to give out a mentor like feel" Norman said to Narrisa.
"Yeah" was all Narrisa could say while looking around.
"Anyways, how are things with you and your mom? You guys done unpacking at your new house? Also how were you able to get here?" Norman asking Narrisa these questions.
"Well me and mom are doing great and we're done unpacking as well" Narrisa answering her fathers first few questions "oh and I met prof. Birch as well, he's pretty nice along with his son Brendan"
"Hmm I see" Norman answered back.
"Oh and as for getting here I came alone only accompanied by my Pokémon" said Nardisa.
"Wait who gave you the Pokémon?" Norman asking Narrisa another question.
"Well the others I caught along the way while my starter, a mudkip named Marshal, was given to me by prof. Birch" Narrisa replied back.
"Ah I see" Norman replied back taking in everything she said.
"Also if you're wondering why I'm here its not because I'm visiting" Narrisa said to Norman "I'm here to challenge you to a Pokémon ba-"
Before Narrisa could complete her sentence the door suddenly opened with a young boy entering the gym. The boy had green spikey hair, wearing grey pants and grey long sleeve unbuttoned dress shirt with a white shirt underneath. The boy soon asked Norman for something with a sheepish tone.
"Hi sir I-I was wondering i-if you could help me catch my first Pokémon" the boy stuttering a bit.
"You look familiar, don't I know you from somewhere?" Norman trying to recall who he was.
"My names Wally, sir. You visit me and mg dad often" said Wally still a bit shy.
"Oh right Wally now I remember, say how's your father doing?" Asked Norman to Wally.
"He is doing great sir" Wally answered back.
"Okay, how come you want a Pokémon though?" Again asked Norman to Wally.
"Well it's because my parents decided for me to stay at virdenturf town with my aunt and uncle, they say the fresh air their would be good for me and I figured having a Pokémon to keep me company while I stay their" Wally said to Norman.
Norman hearing all this has decided to agree with what Wally is asking for.
"Okay then I'll help you" Norman said to Wally.
"Really sir? Thank you so much!" Wally said this much more happier.
"Here I'll give you this pokeball and lend you on of my Pokémon to help you catch a Pokémon in route 103" Norman said to Wally, handing him the pokeball and Pokémon.
"Thank you sir, shall we get going?" Wally said while receiving the items.
"Oh I'm sorry I can't leave the gym right now but my daughter, Narrisa, could help you out" said Norman while placing his right arm on Narrisa's back.
"Really you would help me out" said Wally to Narrisa.
Narrisa looking into Wally's crystal blue eyes can't help but say yes. Wally appreciating Narrisa's help thanked her and both of them soon started walking towards route 103. Back again at route 103 Narrisa and Wally were looking around for Wally's very first Pokémon. While looking it didn't take them long until a wild ralts has appeared in front of Wally but this one is different from most ralts Narrisa had seen; the hair it had was a shade of purple and its horn was green. Wally seeing his new partner tossed the pokeball with the Pokémon in it in the air bringing out a zigzagoon. The zigzagoom seeing the ralts in front of him soon took on a readied position ready to receive Wally's command.
"Umm Narrisa what do I do?" Asked Wally to Narrisa.
"You weaken it by damaging it with attacks" Narrisa said from behind Wally.
"Okay...umm zigzagoon use umm tackle" Wally said to the zigzagoon.
With a nod the zigzagoon charged towards the ralts and hit it right on its body. The ralts trying to get up and eventually did used its growl attack to weaken the zigzagoon.
"You have to weaken it even more" Narrisa said to Wally.
"Okay...zigzagoon use tackle once more" commanded Wally.
And once more the zigzagoon charged towards the ralts hitting it with a tackle attack but this time weaker due to growl. The ralts was sent flying backwards and landing on the ground struggling to get back up after that hit.
"Okay throw your pokeball at it now while it is down" said Narrisa to Wally.
"Okay here we go, go pokeball!" Wally said throwing the pokeball at the ralts.
The pokeball hitting the ralts opened up and absorbed it with a red light before closing and falling onto the ground. The pokeball now on the ground was shaking for a few seconds and eventually stopping making a ping sound.
"Great job Wally you caught the ralts" Narrisa said to Wally while jogging towards him.
"Yeah, we did it" said Wally to Narrisa.
"C'mon lets head back to the gym my dad is probably waiting for us back their" Narrisa said to Wally.
Wally nodded and soon both Narrisa and Wally are headed back to the gym. Inside the gym they both saw Norman standing their waiting for them.
"So how did it go?" Norman asked.
"It went well sir" Wally said cheerfully "if it wasn't for Narrisa's help I would have never caught that ralts" Wally added.
"Oh I did nothing special all the work was made by you Wally and I'm impressed since you get to catch your first Pokémon" Narrisa said trying to sound modest.
"Still, thanks to both of you I know have my very own Pokémon! Here sir you can have your Pokémon back" Wally said to both of them and gave back Normans zigzagoon.
"Anyways its time for me to go, my dad is taking me to virdenturf and I don't want to keep him waiting so bye" Wally said and soon he left the gym and headed for virdenturf.
After Wally has left the gym only Narrisa and Norman were left alone and silence was filling the room. After a few seconds have passed Norman broke the silence and asked Narrisa.
"So you're here to challenge me correct?" Norman said to Narrisa.
"Yes I am, once I get my Pokémon back from the Pokémon center we will make sure we beat you" Narrisa said confidently.
"Well you can't battle me" Norman said to Narrisa.
Narrisa shocked to hear this soon complained and asked him why.
"Wha-what are you saying? After I walked all the way here from home you're just going to deny me just like that!" Narrisa said to Norman a bit furious.
"Calm down dear let me finish" Norman said trying to calm down Narrisa.
"Okay" said Narrisa a bit calmer now.
"Well you can't battle me yet since according to league rules I can only accept your challenge if you have at least 4 gym badges since I'm the fifth gym leader of the hoenn league" Norman said to Narrisa.
"Okay but where do I get my first gym badge?" Narrisa asking Norman.
"Well the first gym challenge you should take on is in rustburo city which is just passed the forest west of here" Norman said to Narrisa.
"Fine the rustburo city it is then, also which cities have a gym on them though?" Narrisa said asking Norman.
"You have a map on you?" Norman asked back.
Narrisa curious as to why her dad wanted a map brought out her map from her bag and gave it to him. Norman receiving the map grabbed a marker from his pockets and circled down places on the map and writing numbers on it before returning it to Narrisa. Narrisa curious as to what this means asked him.
"So what are these circles for?" asked Narrisa.
"Oh those are places with gyms on them I even numbered which gyms come first" Norman replied.
"Okay then well I'm off to the Pokémon center to pick up my Pokémon they are probably wondering what took me so long" said Narrisa.
"Want to stay here until tomorrow morning dear? The sun is setting" Norman asking Narrisa.
"No thanks dad, I rather go and camp out tonight just like you did when you were young" Narrisa answered back.
"Okay then, good luck to you and your Pokémon" said Norman "also one last thing I've heard the gym leader in rustburo city is as tough as a rock" Norman added with a grin.
"Okay well see ya I'm going to pick them up now" said Narrisa heading for the door.
Narrisa now in front of the door reached for the handle and opened it. The door now fully opened Narrisa stepped outside and stopped for a second to look back before moving again and closing the door. Norman who was able to get a good look at her face before she left saw a glint in her eyes the shows that he should be ready for her return. With this in his mind he turned around and entered the room behind him and closed the door.
Narrisa outside of the gym looked at it one last time and started walking back to the Pokémon center. Narrisa now entering the Pokémon center saw Marshal and Bandit talking with the nurse in the waiting area with sad looks on their face while Emilia was talking to other trainers and their Pokémon. Narrisa walked towards them and asked if their was a problem between them.
"Well its just that these two knocked over one of the plants and making a mess while they were running around" the nurse said without taking her eyes off of them.
"How much trouble did they get into?" Narrisa asking the nurse with a worried look.
"Oh theirs no trouble at all I was just telling them to be careful that's all" the nurse told Narrisa.
"Still I'm sorry if they caused you to stop at what you were doing" said Narrisa.
"It's okay, well I better get back to work before anymore trainers show up" said the nurse before leaving them.
Narrisa now alone with Bandit and Marshal who were both starring down on the floor decided to pick them both up and sat down on a chair before placing them on her lap. All three of them now sitting on the chair sat their quietly for a while with Bandit and Marshal still not making any eye contact with Narrisa. A few seconds have passed without them making much sounds Narrisa patted both of them on the head and told them she isn't mad with both of them. Marshal feeling reassured from Narrisa comforting them started talking.
"Narrisa we're sorry for causing you too much trouble especially right before our first gym battle" Marshal said while looking down still.
"Its okay Marshal its okay" Narrisa said in a calming voice still petting both of them.
"Its my fault why this all happened. I was so bored of waiting around here but Marshal or Emilia wanted to play so I decided to tease Marshal a bit to make him play with me but it didn't turn our the way I wanted" said Bandit almost tearing up.
Narrisa seeing how sorry Bandit really is lifted him up a bit and hugged him tightly. Bandit now feeling Narrisa's embrace ended up burying his face into Narrisa's chest and started crying. Narrisa hearing him cry rubbed Bandit's back and whispered something into his ear.
"Shhh don't cry now its okay I forgive you" Narrisa said gently into Bandits ear.
As the three sat their with Narrisa trying her best to reassure Marshal and Bandit, Emilia suddenly appeared to tell Narrisa something. Emilia realizing the situation said something to else Narrisa.
"Oh! Not a good time?" Emilia said to Narrisa.
"Don't worry give me a minute" Narrisa replied back.
After a minute or two has passed Narrisa managed to calm both of them down and placed them on the table in front of her.
"Okay so what did you wanted to tell me?" Narrisa asked Emilia.
"So from what I've gathered I learned that we couldn't challenge the gym here unless we obtain four other badges" said Emilia "I'm assuming you know this since you've been their correct?"
"Yeah I know, the gym leader even told me which places to go first" Narrisa said back while showing the map Norman marked.
"Okay then I don't need to get any deeper on that also want to know something interesting?" Emilia said to Narrisa.
"Okay go on" said Narrisa.
"Well the interesting part is the ordering is different based on which place you started off at and only petalburg and sootopolis requires a specific amount of badges" said Emilia.
"Hmm interesting I wonder why though?" said Narrisa.
"No one really knows why for petalburg only rumors though since it wasn't like this until a year ago but as for sootopolis it's because on how isolated the city is and on how ruthless the road was to get their" said Emilia.
"What about the trainers that start their? How do they get their first gym badge if it is that isolated of an area?" Narrisa asked.
"Here's the thing all the trainers that start their don't go on journeys to collect all the gym badges and become champion, they all become guardians of the cave of origins and a place called the sky tower" answered Emilia.
"Wait so their aren't any trainers that came from sootopolis that took on the Pokémon league?" Narrisa asking another question.
"Well people say that the first and last trainer to ever do that was Wallace the current champion since he was the former leader their" said Emilia.
"So who's the new leader of sootopolis then?" Narrisa asking once more.
"I'm not sure since the trainers I asked around haven't reached their yet but all they said was he was chosen specifically by Wallace so they know he's strong" said Emilia.
"Well anymore information you've gathered?" said Narrisa.
"Nope that's all I got from asking around" Emilia replied.
"Well now since we all know where we're all headed" Narrisa said while standing up "I think its about time we get going before the road gets too dark"
"Wait we're not staying here to spend the night?" Marshal asked who was very surprised to hear they're not staying for the night.
"Nope, we're camping out for tonight and plus the quicker we get to rustburo the faster we can challenge its gym" Narrisa said now packing up.
"What about food though? Where are we going to get some?" Bandit now asking this time.
"Well I'm pretty sure their are a couple of berry trees in the forest west of here and even if their isn't I still have some berries left from route 103" Narrisa said revealing a pouch from her bag full of berries.
So with all this said Narrisa and her Pokémon headed out of the Pokémon center and headed west towards route 104. While walking towards the route Marshal, who was walking next to Narrisa, asked what had happened while they were in the poke on center.
"Well what happened was..." Narrisa said as she told everything that had happened.
"Wait so how well do you know the gym leader exactly?" Bandit asked who was at the other side of Narrisa.
"Oh him he's my dad" Narrisa said casually.
Bandit and Marshal surprised to hear this stopped for a second and looked at her as she casualy walks off. Both of the not wanting to get left behind raced off after her towards route 104. And so Narrisa and her Pokémon has now finally begun. End of chapter 3.
