Chapter 2: Ambitions and Partnerships
Just as we were walking out, my mom walked towards us with some sort of parcel in her hands. "You guys, forgetting something?"
She opened the parcel and handed to us the contents, which turned out to be Town Maps.
"You can't travel without knowing where to go, can you? Nice Pokemon, by the way."
I ran to her and hugged her, not just because of the gift, but because I would be leaving her. "Thanks, Mom," I choked out, about to burst into tears.
"Thanks, Mrs. K!" shouted Brian.
"Really appreciate it!" exclaimed Zach.
"Well boys, be safe out there. Remember to visit Nuvema Town from time to time!" And with that, she walked away back home.
I turned to my friends and asked, "You guys wanna go to Lilipup Cafe before we hit the road?" Lilipup Cafe was our favorite place to hang out.
"We sure do!" they both yelled excitedly.

As we sipped our hot chocolates and ate our deli sandwiches, we noticed a Pokemon running wild with its Trainer rushing behind it. "Chimchar, get back here!" she yelled.
"Chim, Chim, Chimchar!" it teased to her.
"Who's that Pokemon?" I asked, and we all pulled out our Pokedexes.
"Chimchar, the Chimp Pokemon. Chimchar easily climbs the sheerest of walls and lives on mountain tops. When it sleeps, its flames go out."
"So I'm guessing that thing is a fire type," said Zach. "We got to stop it. Oshawott, come on out!"
As Oshawott landed to the ground, Chimchar approached it and started clawing at its face.
"Chimchar, no! Don't Scratch that Pokemon!" yelled its Trainer.
Chimchar ignored her pleas and continued. Oshawott was terrified!
"Ok, Oshawott, use Water Gun!" Zach yelled. A jet of water came out of the Pokemon's mouth and hit Chimchar in the face, giving its Trainer enough time to jump on it and secure it.
"Osha, Oshawott!"Oshawott exclaimed proudly.
"Thanks a lot, you guys. I really appreciate it," said the Trainer. "My name is Evelyn. Who are you guys?"
"Well, I'm Kyle, Oshawott's Trainer is Zach, and that there is Brian. Here, let's show you our Pokemon, too," I said. "Snivy, come on out!"
"Tepig, I need you!"
Snivy once again landed on my head, and Tepig in Brian's arms.
"Wow, they're so CUTE!" said Evelyn. "I see you've already met Chimchar, my partner."
"Chim, Char," said Chimchar playfully from Evelyn's arms.
"Hey, do you wanna join us at our table, Evelyn and Chimchar?" Brian asked.
"Sure, why not?"

While we talked, Evelyn told us how she was from the Sinnnoh region and she came here to become a Pokemon Trainer. "What do you guys plan on doing?" she asked.
"Well, I wanna become a Pokemon Musical star with Oshawott here," said Zach. "Right, Oshawott?"
"Osha, Osha!" Oshawott said happily.
"I wanna become the next Unova Pokemon Professor and catch every Pokemon there possibly is with my best friend, Tepig!"
"How about you, Kyle?" she asked me curiously.
"Well, my dreams are to become the Champion in all the regions and become the World Class Champion! Snivy here is going to help me out here!"
"Sni, Vy!" it said proudly.
"So Evelyn, where are you headed next?" I asked.
"Accumula Town," she responded.
"Really? So are we!" said Zach.
"Wait a minute, why don't we all go together?" said Brian.
"Great idea! I think Chimchar will love it!" shouted the ecstatic Evelyn.
"Hold on one second. I think we should get to know all our Pokemon better, right?" I asked.
"Yeah, but how?" responded Brian.
"Easy. We have a Pokemon battle tournament."
