At the outskirts of petalburg woods Narrisa had just woken up from a long nights rest. Narrisa being the first one awake soon packed up her stuff before waking the others up from their sleep. Narrisa decided to wake up Marshal first for he was the one nearest to her.
"Hey wakey wakey its time we started heading off now" Narrisa said while nudging Marshal to wake him up. After a few seconds had passed Marshals eyes slowly opened up and let out a yawn before standing up.
Marshal now up stretched his body abit before speaking up "*yawn* okay so where are the others? Are they up yet?" Marshal said after letting out another yawn.
"They're still asleep I still have to wake them up" Narrisa said to Marshal "so can I get you to wake up Emilia while I wake up Bandit and the poochyena?" Narrisa asked.
"Okay go find them while I try to find a way to wake up Emilia" Marshal replied back.
"Okay thanks" Narrisa said before leaving Marshal.
"So how do I wake you up from their hmmm" Marshal said to himself while looking up on the tree Emilia was in.
Narrisa now approaching Bandit and the poochyena she saw both of them still asleep right across fro eachother. Narrisa seeing this decided to wake up Bandit first since he was nearer to her.
"Wake up Bandit its time for us to go" Narrisa said while while rubbing Bandits back. Bandit feeling Narrisa's hand on his back grumbled a bit before speaking with his eyes still closed.
"Hmmm few more minutes Narrisa I'm still too tired" Bandit said while shaking off Narrisa's hand.
"C'mon now we don't want to take up the whole day just to get to rustburo" Narrisa said now shaking him a bit.
Bandit feeling Narrisa's persistence spoke up again "fine but you will have to carry me" Bandit said while his eyes were still closed. Narrisa hearing this just giggled for a bit before picking him and carrying him craddling him on her arms.
"Fine but only for a few minutes" said Narrisa. As Narrisa was carrying Bandit in her arms she noticed that the poochyena was now awake "good morning so are you feeling any better?"
"No, that zigzagoon of yours kept me up almost all night he only shutted up when he got tired of talking" the poochyena said complainingly while glaring at the still sleeping Bandit. "I really wonder why you decided to keep him"
"Oh don't worry about him he's still very young and childish and was just excited to see a new friend" Narrisa said while smiling at Bandit "and as for why I caught him well I kinda begged him to say the least hehe... he was to cute to pass up okay" she added defending herself.
"*sigh* why did I even ask" said the poochyena while shaking her head a bit "so are we good to go now?" the poochyena asked.
"Not yet I'm still waiting for Marshal to wake up Emilia" as Narrisa said this as if on queue a sudden screaming was heard with a thud sound coming after from where Emilia and Marshal were "what was that?" Narrisa said before checking up on what happened.
When Narrisa got to where the two were she soon saw a drenched Emilia getting up from the ground and yelling at Marshal "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR?"
"Well you wouldn't wake up after calling you for like a hundred times now" Marshal arggued back with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Then try speaking louder then" Emilia retorted.
"I did I even tried tackling the damn tree to wake you up" Marshal answered back.
"Well that still doesn't justify you blasting me with a water gun and knocking me of the tree, that could have killed me you know" Emilia said now irritated with Marshal.
Narrisa seeing that this could get worse decided to intervene "hey, hey thats enough you two I don't want both of you to be fighting each other when we are so near to our first gym battle" Narrisa said now in-between both of them. Marshal and Emilia seeing how serious Narrisa is decided to cool off for now "good now Marshal apologize to Emilia" Narrisa said now facing Marshal.
"But-" Marshal said only to be interrupted by Narrisa.
"Apologize!" Narrisa said once more.
"Fine, I'm sorry...sorry for you being too much of a priss!" Marshal said mockingly to Emilia.
"Oh you asked for it now" Emilia said now pissed. So Emilia took off flying pass Narrisa and hitting Marshal with a water gun.
The attack not harming him too much just shook it off and blasted Emilia with his own water gun. Emilia getting hit by the attack also not harming her too much flew low and to land in front of Marshal to smack him with her right wing on his left cheek.
"Ow that hurt you know" Marshal said feeling his left cheek.
"Well serves you right for treating a lady that way" said Emilia in an arrogant way
"Lady? More like-" said Marshal before getting interrupted once more by Narrisa.
"Okay that's enough then its time you guys get back into your pokeballs" Narrisa said bringing out 2 pokeballs with her right hand.
"Fine then I didn't even want to walk around with her out anyways" said Marshal looking away from them.
"Humph same here" said Emilia back.
And so the 2 bickering Pokémon are sent back into their pokeballs.
"*sigh* I hope these 2 make up once we're at rustburo" said Narrisa holstering the 2 pokeballs.
"Of course they will me and Marshal get along well" said Bandit in Narrisa's arms.
"Oh you're already up so you should start walking now too" Narrisa said to Bandit.
"Aww okay" said Bandit before jumping off of Narrisa's arms.
"Since all that's settled lets go I don't want to stay here any longer" the poochyena said now taking the lead.
So Narrisa, Bandit and the poochyena are now making their way through the petalburg woods on their way to rustburo city. Along the way Bandit was chatting away with the poochyena about everything he sees interesting but the poochyena just ignored everything he says but Bandit doesn't seem to notice. Narrisa seeing how persistent Bandit is with making friends with the poochyena can't help but softly laugh to herself. After what seems to have been an hours worth of walking Bandit soon grew bored and stopped talking for a while this however pleased the poochyena. After another few minutes of dead silence between the three of them Bandit now getting impatient started talking once more.
"Are we their yet? Nothing fun has been happening for a while now" Bandit said asking the poochyena; the poochyena just ignored him and continued to move on. Bandit now getting very bored decided to run off for a while.
"Bandit where are you going? We don't know what's out here" Narrisa said calling out to Bandit.
"Don't worry about it I won't stray too far from the group" Bandit said while looking back "and plus I'll be fine its not like anything bad is going to happen" he added before jumping into a bush and without second to spare a sudden shrieking was heard from behind the bush.
"Bandit!" Narrisa yelled before running up towards the bush. The poochyena however just sighed and shook her head before walking after her. Narrisa now running past the bush with the poochyena right after her saw Bandit covered in silk like strings all over his body binding him to the ground with a wurmple right in front of him.
"Now now big boy we don't need to get too reckless now wouldn't we" the wurmple said in a rather suggestive way. The wurmple still not noticing Narrisa behind Bandit spoke up once more "now tell me how does a darling little Pokémon like yourself doing out here in these woods?"
"Excuse me but he's my Pokémon!" Narrisa exclaimed.
The wurmple now noticing Narrisa starred at her for a few seconds before speaking up once again "well aren't you a fine specimen" said the wurmple examining Narrisa "but you see this Pokémon of yours barged in on me when I was...tending to myself so I would have to take him in as...compensation yeah lets put it at that" said the wurmple looking at Bandit deviously.
"Well I won't allow that to happen" Narrisa said holding on to one of her pokeballs.
"Honey if you want a battle then you could have just asked" the wurmple said mockingly.
"Fine then, go Marshal!" Narrisa said tossing her pokeball in the air letting out Marshal.
Marshal now out on the field soon saw the wurmple in-front of him and Bandit trapped right beside him understood the situation prepared for the battle. "Another wurmple aye? So did poor ol'Bandit here can't handle this simple wurmple?" Marshal said jokingly.
"Hey I'm still here you know" said Bandit.
"I know that's why I said it" Marshal replied back with Bandit only rolling his eyes was barely able to shake his head.
"Well if you're done talking with your boyfriend over their you're about to learn I'm more than just an ordinary wurmple" the wurmple said taunting Marshal.
"Yeah you're more of a chatter box then the others" Marshal said taunting back and so the two Pokémon are now ready to battle.
Marshal and the wurmple now staring down at each other awaiting to see who moves first when suddenly the wurmple attacked with string shot. Marshal quick to react was able to dodge the attack was now awaiting for Narrisa's orders.
"Marshal tackle now" Narrisa commanded pointing towards the wurmple.
Marshal accepting the command soon charged towards the wurmple but to his surprise the wurmple was able to move out of his way and ran right beside him. "Boy you need to do better then that" the wurmple taunted once more before using its own tackle hitting Marshal on the side making him fall over.
"You're faster than you look" Marshal said while getting up "but speed alone won't be enough to stop me". Marshal now up on his feet was ready to take another order. Narrisa seeing this commanded to use another move.
"Marshal quick use water gun" Narrisa commanded Marshal.
Marshal now concentrating carefully on his aim soon let out a blast of water. The wurmple not quick enough this time was hit right on the chest and got sent tumbling backwards only to stop when it hit the tree behind it. The wurmple now having a hard time getting up glared at Marshal before speaking once more.
"My for such a small Pokémon like yourself you do have quite the punch" the wurmple said now getting up "but if you think I'll give up that easily then you're wrong" the wurmple said before being coated in a bright light. After a second has passed and the light slowly fading the wurmple has shown to have evolved into a silcoon. "Now this is what I call a magnificent transformation is it not?" said the silcoon.
"Well you can evolve all you want but that still doesn't change the fact that I will beat you!" Marshal pointed out to the newly evolved silcoon now standing in-front of them. "Narrisa what are your orders?" Marshal asked.
Narrisa thinking quickly on what to do now soon gave out Marshal an order "Marshal use tackle once more"
Marshal hearing the command charged forward and leaped towards the silcoon. Marshal now about to land his hit was blinded for a second when the silcoon's body sparkled for a second and before he knew it he was sent flying back "what did you just do?" Marshal asked while dazed for a bit.
"Oh its just a move I learned called harden" the silcoon answered back before glaring at Marshal once more "but that's not the only thing I learned" the silcoon said before a bunch of spikes were protruding out of its body and was sent launching towards Marshal. Narrisa quick to react told Marshal to dodge.
"Marshal quickly dodge it!" Narrisa yelled. Marshal now snapping out of it was able to jump out of the way and dodge all the spikes that were launched at him. Marshal now landing on the ground was issued another command by Narrisa. "Marshal use water gun" Narrisa commanded.
Once more Marshal launched another water gun at the silcoon but it was able to hold its ground this time. "Ha! Your moves won't be able to send me back that easily now" the silcoon taunted yet again.
Marshal now looking exhausted looked back at Narrisa and asked her what to do next. "So what now not even my water gun can make her budge" Marshal said now looking back at Narrisa.
Narrisa examining the silcoon carefully was trying to think of ways to defeat it when an idea popped in her head. "Well from what I can think of their is only one quick way to end this battle but you will have to trust me on my commands on this one" Narrisa said looking directly at the silcoon and back down to Marshal "so are you ready?"
"Yeah I'm ready" Marshal said trying to steady his breathing.
"Okay then, Marshal quickly use tackle" Narrisa commanded once again.
Marshal nodded before charging once more towards the silcoon. The silcoon seeing this taunted Marshal once more "well baby if you really want to get close to me that bad" the silcoon taunted before shining once more.
Narrisa seeing how the first part of her plan worked grinned for a bit before quickly making another command "now Marshal while you're near use mud slap". Marshal hearing her command nodded once more before stopping his previous attack and jumped up and used mud slap covering the rest of silcoons face.
The silcoon surprised at this was trying to shake off the mud when suddenly Narrisa threw and empty pokeball at the silcoon while it was distracted. The pokeball hitting the silcoon opened up and engulfed the silcoon in a red light before sapping the silcoon in the pokeball closing it and landing gently on the ground. The pokeball now rocking slowly from side to side showing that the silcoon wants to escape is causing nervousness from both Marshal and Narrisa watching it closely. As a few seconds tick by with the pokeball not showing any signs of stopping soon came to a halt when...ping the pokeball sounded signaling that the silcoon was caught. Narrisa placing one hand on her chest and letting out a breath of relief soon went towards the pokeball and grabbing it clutching it tightly in her hands before showing it to Marshals.
"We did it Marshal! We caught a new Pokémon!" Narrisa said excitingly.
"Yeah I was worried for a second their" Marshal said now sitting down exhausted "glad that's over" Marshal added.
"So since now that's over can you guys help out of this thing its starting to get uncomfortable" said Bandit still stuck on the ground.
"Yeah sure thing, come on Marshal help me free up Bandit" Narrisa said while pocketing the pokeball and walked towards Bandit. Marshal just letting out a sigh before getting up again and walking towards Bandit as well.
Narrisa and Marshal now grabbing hold onto strings from each side of Bandit are pulling on them with all their strength but to no avail. "Damn these strings sure are stuck to the ground good, any luck on your end Marshal?" Narrisa asked to Marshal who's now biting tightly on to the strings trying to cut them loose.
"Nope I don't think my teeth are sharp enough to cut them" Marshal said now letting go of the string. "Well it seems we would just have to leave him then, it was nice knowing you Bandit" Marshal said jokingly before turning around.
"Hey! Don't leave me here!" Bandit said still stuck tightly on the ground. Marshal just turning back towards him and laughed for a bit.
"I was just kidding" Marshal said not taking it seriously. Bandit just staring him down not amused.
"Don't worry to much about it I'm sure we can think of ways to get you free" Marshal said grinning at Bandit, Bandit still not amused.
Narrisa busy thinking of ways to get Bandit free from the bindings decided to look around the place to see if she can find anything useful to use. After looking around for a bit Narrisa noticed the pins that the silcoon left from the battle. Narrisa examining the pins closely decided to pick one from the ground and soon noticed how sharp they were and instantly got an idea. Narrisa reaching for the pokeball she pocketed earlier soon found it and let out the silcoon from inside.
The silcoon now out on the field started down at Narrisa for second before speaking up. "Bold move you did out their containing me in a pokeball" said the silcoon "let me guess the reason why you decided to let me out is because you need me to do something right?".
"Yeah listen the reason why I called you out here is because I need you to use that spike attack you did earlier to cut Bandit loose, got it?" Narrisa said to the silcoon.
The silcoon now staring at the trapped Bandit looked back at Narrisa and asked. "Honey you sure about that?" the silcoon asked with a curious look on her face.
"Yes just make sure you don't hit Bandit okay" Narrisa said back.
"Well so be it" the silcoon said before facing Bandit and soon a few spikes sprouted out from the silcoons body. Bandit seeing how long and sharp they were was starting to sweat a bit and had a terrified look on his face.
"Uhmm Narrisa you sure about this" Bandit said looking terrified.
"Don't worry baby I'm a good shot" the silcoon said now carefully aiming at Bandit. The poochyena laying down right beside the bush they came from soon smelled something awfully familiar. After a second or two of thinking what that smell was soon realized what it was.
The poochyena now realizing what it was decided to get up and yelled at them. "Wait don't shoot" the poochyena yelled but before anyone can realize what she said the silcoon already fired. The pins now flying through the air all managed to hit the right side of strings and narrowly missing Bandit cutting him loose. Bandit now free got up and stretched his limbs for a bit before walking towards Narrisa.
The poochyena now making her way towards them spoke up once more. "I said to not shoot" said the poochyena "good thing none of the pins hit that zigzagoon of yours" she added.
"Why not though? It was the only way to free up Bandit" Narrisa asked with a confused look on her face.
"Well its because thous pins were coated with poison" the poochyena answered back.
"Wait what!" Bandit said shocked to hear what the poochyena said. "You mean I could have died if any of those pins hit me?" Bandit said now looking very worried.
Narrisa just as surprised as Bandit were soon asked the silcoon "why were they covered in poison?".
"Well the attack is called poison sting for a reason" said the silcoon. "Hey I tried to warn you but you said just go for it" the silcoon added defending herself
"How would I know they were poisonous" said Narrisa.
"You could've asked you know" answered the silcoon. "Well doesn't matter now all that matters is that I didn't hit umm...".
"Bandit" said Bandit.
"Yeah Bandit" said the silcoon finishing where she trailed off.
"Fine just tell us what moves you're going to use okay" said Narrisa looking directly at silcoon.
"Fine whatever you say honey" the silcoon remarked.
"Oh and while you're out here I might as well give you a new name" said Narrisa to the silcoon.
"A new name huh? Fine just make sure the new name would capture my beauty" said the silcoon admiring herself.
"What beauty? You're a silcoon and not even your previous form was all that beautiful either" said Marshal disgusted on how highly the silcoon thinks of herself.
The silcoon feeling quite offended glared at Marshal for a second before speaking up. "Oh just you wait until I evolve big boy and you'll soon eat your words" said the silcoon staring down at Marshal.
Narrisa thinking carefully on what she should name the silcoon soon got an idea. "What about Vivian? Does that sound good to you?" Narrisa asking the silcoon.
"Hmm Vivian that does sound like a name that a Pokémon of beauty should have so I accept" said the silcoon agreeing with Narrisa.
"You sure are way into yourself" said Marshal now looking away from the silcoon.
"Of course I have to be, the first rule to being beautiful is to first think you are one dear" Vivian said matter of factly.
"*sigh* whatever, Narrisa I think I should rest up in my ball now before I start hurling up here" Marshal said now looking at Narrisa.
"Okay then return" Narrisa said pointing her pokeball at Marshal before he was sent back in.
"Hmph what's that guys problem anyways" Vivian said shrugging off everything Marshal said. "Well at least I get to spend some good quality time with Bandit over here now that I'm part of your team" Vivian said winking at Bandit. Bandit seeing this just felt a shiver down his spine before looking away. "Haha aren't you a cutie well since we're done here I would like to be back to my pokeball now to get some needed rest" said Vivian now looking back at Narrisa.
"Okay then" Narrisa said as she grabbed for Vivian's ball in her pocket calling her back in.
"Since Bandit is now free lets get going before noon hits, afternoons here in the forest can get very hot" the poochyena said now getting back on track, Narrisa and Bandit just followed.
As the trio kept moving through the forest path, turning corners and jumping down ledges they were met with few trainers along the way. Some of the trainers greeted them some even asked for battles and some even told them the right way to go all in all it wasn't as boring of a trip Bandit originally said it was. As time kept ticking and the three kept walking the suns rays soon got hotter making them tired much quicker.
"Are we...almost...their yet..." Bandit said in between breaths panting and sweating heavily.
"I think so the last trainer we met told us he came from rustburo and he was walking straight for at least an hour before we met him" Narrisa said while wipping of some sweat from her forehead.
"Well in any case we would be their soon we just need to keep on moving" the poochyena said also looking very much tierd.
Bandit who was walking in between Narrisa and the poochyena suddenly decided to lay down for a bit for he is now very exhausted. "Lets...rest for a while...we're almost their anyways...gah I'm so thirsty" Bandit said as sweat drips down from the ends of his fur and onto the grass.
"Yeah lets take a break for a ehile we don't know how far we have to walk left to get their and we need to save up energy since its still a long once we're out of here" Narrisa said as she sat down under a tree. "Boy it sure has gotten hotter now" said Narrisa as she unbottened a few of the buttons on the top of her shirt revealing a portion of her chest to cool off.
"Fine...whatever.." the poochyena said while letting out a deep breath and laying down under a tree near Narrisa.
As time went on with the three of them just resting in various places Narrisa has found herself taking a nap from where she was sitting. With more time passing the suns heat started to subside for a bit and a weak yet cool breeze flowing through the area Narrisa woke up now fully rested and ready to go.
Narrisa now awake let out a soft yawn and stretched her arms for a bit before getting up only to see Bandit and the poochyena gone. Narrisa panicking as to what has happened to them grabbed for Emilia's pokeball and sent her out.
"Emilia go and see if you can find either Bandit or the poochyena I just woke up and couldn't find them" Narrisa commanding Emilia on what to do.
"Aye" Emilia replied and soon took off and flew around to see where the two went. As Emilia flew around the place to seek them out she soon found them but with different company. Emilia looking carefuly on whats happening soon saw another Pokémon attacking Bandit so she flew as quickly as she can back to Narrisa.
Emilia making her way back to Narrisa soon called out to her. "Narrisa! Narrisa! Hurry they are in trouble!" Emilia yelled as she flew close to Narrisa.
"Really where are they!" Narrisa said looking shocked about what she heard.
"Come on follow me" Emilia said and soon flew to where Bandit and the poochyena was followed by Narrisa running her.
As Narrisa and Emilia reached to where they were they both noticed Bandit protecting both the poochyena and a guy wearing a green suit from someone dressed up in some sort of sailor outfit and his own poochyena. "I…will not...let you get past me!" Bandit exclaimed looking tired and beaten.
"Why do you even bother protecting him? He is not even your trainer" the man said towards Bandit. "Aye whatever, poochyena finish him off with tackle!" the man commanded for his poochyena.
The poochyena hearing the commanded soon charged forward and pounced about to hit Bandit when a strong blast of water suddenly hit the poochyena knocking him down onto the ground.
"Nice shot Emilia" Narrisa said praising Emilia. Bandit suprised to see them looked towards Narrisa and nodding before facing the poochyena who was about to get up. "Okay Bandit finish it off with headbutt" Narrisa commanded.
Bandit recieving his commanded soon ran up to the poochyena who was shaking off Emilia's attack. Bandit now close ducked his head low before smashing into the poochyenas lower jaw snapping its head and soon was sent flying away from him falling down on the ground with a thud sound.
The man in total disbelief that he just lose soon faced towards Narrisa. "You shouldn't have messed with team aquas affairs kid, wait until my boys hears about this" he said before running off into the forest.
Narrisa now done with the whole encounter walked towards them and asked if they were all okay. "So are you guys okay? What happened here though?" Narrisa asking them.
"Well first let me thank you for what you did their and secondly I don't know to be honest I was just minding my own business finding for my favorite Pokémon when that brute suddenly appeared ambushing me and thats when these two showed up" the man said as he points towards Bandit and the poochyena.
"Well to be honest I didn't get here to save him I was just wandering around the area until you woke up" the poochyena said facing Narrisa "it just so happened that Bandit here was following me or else something worse could have happened" she said now facing Bandit "he even took most of the beating for me when that grunt kicked me aside" she added.
"Why didn't you guys call for me though?" Narrisa asking both of them.
"Well I thought their wouldn't be enough time to wake you up and get back here so I just went for it" Bandit said now looking up at Narrisa. "Sorry if it caused you to get worried that I did something without you knowing" Bandit said now looking down.
Narrisa seeing how sorry Bandit is decided to crouch down in front of him patted his head and gave him her sweetest smile. "Its okay Bandit you did what you thought was right" Narrisa said comforting Bandit. "And plus if you didn't act quick something bad would have happened" Narrisa said now lifting up Bandits chin.
"Well I guess you're right but I promise that this would be the last time I do anything without you knowing" Bandit said promising to Narrisa.
"Okay then Bandit" Narrisa replied with a smile on her face. "Well now that's all over lets start moving towards rustburo before sun down" Narrisa said to all of her Pokémon. The man hearing where they were heading spoke up.
"Wait you're all headed for rustburo? Let me accompany you out of this forest as a way of thanking you guys for helping me I know a quick way out of here" the man suggested to Narrisa.
"Umm thank you sir but you really don't have to" Narrisa said trying to convince the man not to.
"Oh please it would be my pleasure" the man said gesturing he's fine with it. "And besides it would be an honor to escort a fine young lady as yourself out of this place" the man said with a slight bow.
Narrisa seeing how persistent he is in escorting her out of here decided to agree with his suggestion. "Fine and thank you once again for your help" Narrisa said thanking the man.
"Oh please I should be the one thanking you" said the man to Narrisa. "Anyhow follow me everyone for the sun is about to set" the man said now leading the way through the forest.
As the man leads Narrisa and her team out of the forest they soon managed to reach the other side and out onto on open path. "Well this here is the end of petalburg woods and this path will lead you all straight to rustburo city" the man said pointing off towards the distance to a city across the lake infront of them. "Well this is where we part ways I'm going to head back inside the forest to continue what I was doing earlier" the man said about to head back into the forest.
"You sure its safe to be back their alone?" Narrisa asked with a worried look on her face.
"Don't worry I'll be careful out their, well I'll be going now so 'till next time" the man said waving them off before disappearing into the forest.
"Well guys lets go so that we can get our first gym badge and get poochyena here all healed up" said Narrisa to her Pokémon.
"Yeah about that Narrisa" the poochyena spoke up. "After what we've experienced on the way here seeing on how much you cared for your Pokémon and on how Bandit risked his life for me I've decided to join you guys" the poochyena said looking away from Narrisa. "You know if you will still accept me after what I said last night"
"Well don't worry about you're still welcome to be part of my team" Narrisa said now petting the poochyena. "And plus you know by now that for the Pokémon who join my team will get a new name so would you want one" Narrisa asked the poochyena.
"Yeah sure why not" the poochyena responded with a nod.
"Okay from this point on you will be called Velouria so does that sound good to you?" Narrisa said to the poochyena.
"Yeah that sounds about right" the poochyena said.
"Okay lets start heading for rustburo city" Narrisa said gesturing for her Pokémon to follow.
And so Narrisa and her Pokémon have finally gotten out of petalburg woods and are now on the road to rustburo city. With 2 new Pokémon by Narrisa's side and their first gym badge almost in reach she is more than ready to take on rustburo gym and its leader. End of chapter 5.
