Chapter three

Jasmine turned around to see, a brown minotaur!

"Hmm... You're not scared?" He asked, seeing that a smile began to form on the teenager's mouth.

"What? No way! I'm Jasmine. What's your name?" The happy teen asked after denying.

"Well, i'm Gan-gan! I like you! Wanna battle?"

"Sure! Just let me spiff up my friend."

Jasmine turned her back to the centaur, then moved Sol's ball to the far right of her belt-sash, where she would send out her first Pokemon. She tied a green Pokesash around the Charmander's neck, making it droop to the sides like her scarf. The Charmander cried out with pleasure before being returned to its ball.

"Ready! Go, Sol!"

"Go, Spinarak!"

The two Pokemon faced off, and after one Embers from Sol, the Spinarak fainted. Another one was sent out, and it was given the same treatment. Yet another Spinarak was sent out, and it was dispatched into unconsciousness by the same move. The next time, a bigger Spinarak with two stubby stingers on its head and longer legs was sent out.

"Araknider! Attack!" Gan-gan cried out, a bit desperate now.

It wasn't fast enough, and it was blasted down by an Embers from Sol.

"Thanks for the battle. Now for me to go and train harder!"

As he said that, he disappeared and Jasmine could see the end of the forest in sight. But not before being harassed by three Pokemon. Two turtwig, which Sol easily took down, and a Totodile, which she caught and named Naw. As of the time as Jasmine leaving, her Pokemon stats looked like this:

Sol(Charmander)Level 17

Fla(Caterpie)Level 14

Naw(Totodile)Level 5

Zap(Pichu)Level 15

San(Ekans)Level 11

Her next destination was the Ruin One; Ruins of an early civilization under the sea with special magic that allowed travelers to walk through without getting wet and without swimming. In short, it was like you were on dry land.

As soon as Jasmine stepped into the ruins, a Horsea swam up to her face after which it was promptly caught and named Sea. As she pressed forward, she saw Alymphs; People that adapted to life in the water. They had bulbous heads that tapered upwards. Jasmine passed by one, and he challenged her to a battle.

"Every one of us will battle you. Go! Dratini!"

"Go, Naw! Gaia Ring!"

"Hydroplane!"

Naw's eyes flashed, then it jumped and slammed onto its four legs. A ring of energy erupted out of the ground under the Dratini, hurting it. In response, the Dratini shot ice out of its mouth while sliding on it at an increadibe speed. The speeding Dratini bashed hard on Naw, but the Totodile remained standing.

"Catch! Then use Terra Slash!" Jasmine yelled, throwing an energy crystal at the Pokemon.

Naw slashed the ground, infusing energy into the slash that made it keep going and growing until it sliced the Dratini out of commission. While the Alymph returned and sent out his Pokemon, Jasmine clipped on a grey belt harness with an orange cross on it to Naw along with the Umbrella. When Jasmine looked up, She saw a Dragonair. A Gaia Ring hit it harshly, but it was still standing, so much so that it lunged at Naw, who ducked out of the way. An attack by the Totodile finished the Dragonair. Quick as a flash, the Alymph sent out another Dragonair, which was KO'd by an attack by the boosted Totodile.

And so, Jasmine walked away with a Level 8 Totodile.

On the way to the next Alymph, a small, dinosaur-like Pokemon bounded up to her. It was a blue, bipedal Pokemon. It had the head of a triceratops(minus the horns and the beak.)and the body of a Charmander. Its stubby arms had only one light-blue claw on them. Its legs had three light-blue claws on them.

She caught the Level 13 Dinodon and named it Don, before moving on.

Finally getting to the next Alymph, she sent out Naw while the Alymph sent out a Bulbasaur(Strangely, it was a water-type.)

"Gaia ring!"

"Ice Shard!"

Naw's attack blasted the Bulbasaur into the air, but as it came down, it fired an Ice Shard at the Totodile. Naw was okay, but the Bulbasaur was shaky, and one attack by the Earth Type took it out. The Alymph sent out an Ivysaur that was dispatched with another attack. The last Ivysaur was dealt with in the same manner.

After her battle, she returned her Level 10 Pokemon and walked on.

When she saw a little child in orange clothes sitting by a rock, she wanted to go talk to him. But a Dinodon was in her way. After one attack by Naw, her obstacle was gone and she talked to the boy, who said he needed a trainer to take a water Pokemon from him. Jasmine took a look at the Pokemon which looked like a baby Sharpedo without the jagged edges, protruding teeth and details. It was cyan blue with red eyes and a white underside. Jasmine took the Pokemon and named it Gar before boosting it to Level 4 with an Experience Bottle. It was a Minishar.

Later...

Jasmine had caught a Level 12, Nature type Squirtle(Which she named Tur) and a Level 11, Aqua type Mudkip(Kipip) with no cheek gills, beady eyes, a shark fin on its head and a beak that she called Kip.

Then she battled a 10 year old girl(Jasmine was 14.) that sent out a Lv. 18, Nature-type Abra. Gar's Bubble Barrage didn't do much, but it was better than the attack of the Abra, which virtually did no damage. Jasmine switched Gar with Sol just as the Abra put a little muscle into its attack. One attack from Sol, however, and the Abra was unconscious. The girl then sent out a Lv. 22 Kadabra, which didn't seem fazed at all by Sol's . It then used Phantom Branches, a move in which branches in the shape of arms burst out from the ground and slashed at Sol, doing a lot of damage. The Ruby Gauntlet that the Charmander was wearing helped, although it struggled to get up. An attack from him knocked out the Kadabra, though. The girl's final Pokemon was a Lv. 24 Alakazam, which dodged Sol as it lunged at it by side-stepping. As Sol passed, the Alakazam bashed the back of the Charmander's head with its two spoons, seriously hurting Sol. The Charmander weakly cried out before lunging at the Alakazam, its claws finding their mark, and seriously hurting it. In retaliation, the Alakazam attacked Sol, taking it out. Jasmine's Power brought the Charmander back, and it tried again to slash at the Alakazam, missing and getting kicked back. An Embers finished the job, and Jasmine recieved a Lv. 1 Abra that she called Aio.

A wild battle had leveled up Aio and Gar, as they were now at Lv. 3 and Lv. 6 respectively. An Experience Bottle boost put the Abra at Lv. 5. Another battle put Gar at Lv. 7.

Jasmine challenged the last person in her way, another Alymph. As she sent out Aio, she saw the Alymph flinch after seeing the Lv. 5 Pokemon wielding the Umbrella and a yellow horned helmet along with an energy crystal. The Alymph first sent out a Lv. 20 Horseapod.

"Nature Pellets!"

Aio's squinted eyes flashed before it pointed its open palms at the Aqua type. Small green orbs flew out of its palms and blasted the Horseapod to the ground.

"Attack!" The Alymph ordered.

The Horseapod rammed Aio to the ground, but the Abra was mostly fine thanks to the Umbrella.

"Toxin Draw!"

Bubbles of green Toxin converged in the Horseapod's body before emerging from its body and dissipating as Aio's eyes flashed. The Horseapod was barely standing after that. It lunged at Aio at its trainer's command, but it missed. At Jasmine's command, the Abra slapped the other Pokemon hard, knocking it out. Another Horseapod was sent out, and it was met with a slash across the face.

"Attack!" The Alymph yelled, pointing at Jasmine's Abra.

The Horseapod heeded and rammed Aio.

"Attack as well!" Jasmine commanded.

The Nature type slashed at the Horseapod and it fainted with a low squeak. The last Pokemon sent out looked exactly like the Horseapod, but it had yellow spheres running from its back to its tail. It also had 'wings' on its sides.

"Horseadra, Attack!"

"Attack, Aio!"

The Abra acted first, slamming its palm into the Pokemon's face, misguiding its lunge.

"Earth Stakes!"

Aio slammed its palms into the ground with a flash of its squint-eyes. All of a sudden, pointed rods of rock burst out of the ground under the Horseadra. Majority of the rocks crumbled as they hit the Aqua type. It lunged at Aio with its head at its trainer's command.

"Attack, Aio!"

"Aquatwister!"

Aio hit the Horseadra, but was forcefully washed away by a water tornado that the Pokemon summoned by shooting water out of its mouth. Aio was revived by Jasmine and it slapped the Horseadra across the face, making it abandon its attack. Aio was commanded to use Toxin Draw again, and it didn't faze the Aqua type much. It knocked Aio unconscious again with Aquatwister, and Jasmine brought him back.

"Attack!" Both trainers yelled, their Pokemon clashing at each other in the middle.

"Finish it!" Jasmine ordered.

Aio slammed its hand down on the Horseadra, and it was knocked unconscious.

The boost kicked in, giving everyone another level. Aio also leveled up to level 10.

By the time of her leaving Ruin One, Jasmine's Poketeam looked like this:

Aio(Abra)Lv.10

San(Ekans)Lv.12

Sol(Charmander)Lv.18

Iro(Aron)Lv.16

Zap(Pichu)Lv.16
