"Geodude, return" Brock, the Gym Leader of Pewter City said. A red light came out of the red and white pokeball, and cover the rock-like Pokemon's body. It went back into it's Pokeball. Eevee breathed heavily from the battle we had just fought, and it was still far from over.

"Your very good."The Gym Leader said. He was tall, and probably in his late twenties or early thirties. He had spiky black hair and dark skin. He wore tan cargo pants and a green shirt."But you're going have to be better if you want that badge."

I nodded as he reached to his waist and grabbed another red and white Pokeball.

"Go! Onix!" He said, and threw the Pokeball. A white light emerged from it and out came almost twenty nine feet high. It body like a snake's and it's body was made of stone. I held out my Pokedex.

"Onix-the Rock Snake Pokemon- It burrows through the ground at fifty miles per hour eating soil and rocks as it go."

I stood there, and as much as I hate to admit it, the thing was scary. I glanced at Eevee. He looked a little taken back from the Pokemon size, but was still ready to fight. I weighed my options and then decided to return Eevee.

"Eevee, return."I said. A red light covered his body and returned him to his Pokeball."You were great, thank you."I said. I pulled out another red and white Pokeball, and threw it up in the air."Caterpie! It's your time to battle!"I said. She appeared on the rocky battle field and looked up at her opponent. I knew if I was her size , and had to battle someone as big as that, I would be scared. But she just stood there, waiting for my orders.

"Kick his butt, Destiny!"Blue called from the stand, and I couldn't help but smile.

"Onix us Tackle!"Brock ordered. The Rock Snake Pokemon rushed towards, crushing all the rocks in it's path.

"Caterpie, use String Shot!"I said. Caterpie shot out a silky white string from it's mouth, covering the ground as Onix ran (?) over it, sticking him to that place."Now use Tackle!"I said. Caterpie moved her body as fast as it would go, and rammed into Onix, knocking it onto it's back.

Yeah. I think we called all agree total pwnage there.

"PWNED!"Blue yelled from the stands.

See? Told you so.

"Now use Tackle, one more time!"I said. I said. Caterpie begin running towards Onix, who was still on it's back.

"Onix, use Rock Throw!"Brock commanded. Onix then squirm around, and broke free of the string. It then used it's head as a shovel, and threw rocks at Caterpie.

"Dodge it!"I said. Caterpie manage to dodge a few, but was hit and flew back a few feet."Caterpie!"i called out worridly. She struggle back onto her feet...err..suction cups? Anyway she got back up.

"Rock Throw, one more time."Brock said. Onix once again used it's head as a shovel, and threw rocks at Caterpie.

"Use String Shot!"I said. Caterpie shot out the string from her mouth and it wrapped around one of the rocks that was heading towards her."Now spin around!"I commanded. Caterpie then twirled her small body, and the rock swung with her. It then hit Onix in the head, knocking it once again onto it's back.

"Onix is unable to battle!" The referee called out."The winners are Destiny and Caterpie!"

"Yes! We won! We won!"I said, literally jumping for joy. I heard Blue squeal happily from the stands as I ran and gave Caterpie a hug.

"You were awesome Destiny!"She said. Brock walked over to us as I held Caterpie in my arms.

"That was a very good battle. As the Pokemon League rules say, as proof of your victory over me, I present you with the Boulder Badge."He said, handing me a small silver, and boulder looking badge as the name suggested.

I grinned happily to myself, staring at my first gym badge, when I felt Caterpie squirm in my arms. I looked down at her.

"What's wrong?"I asked. She looked up at me as a white light covered her body. I felt my eyes widen as her body changed shape in form into a green, boomerang shaped cocoon.

"Caterpie evolved!"Blue said. I quickly took out my Pokedex.

"Metapod-the Cocoon Pokemon- It's steel hard shell protects it's tender body. It quietly endure hardships while waiting evolution."

I closed my Pokedex and smiled at my newly evolved Pokemon.

"Congragulation, Metapod."I said. She sared at me silently, but I swore I saw a faint smile on her lips, wherever they were.

"Time for a picture!"Blue said excitedly, and pushed my next to Brock.

"Whoa-what?"I asked as Blue took out a camera.

"Send out Eevee, and hold up your badge!"She ordered me. I hated that she told me what to do, but complied anyway.

I stood next to Brock, my hand out, showing off my brand new Boulderbadge as Eevee and Metapod stood in front of us.

"Smile!"Blue said. I felt my lips curl upward and a flash blinded me for a minute."There!"Blue said, nodding her head in satisfaction.

I returned Eevee and Metapod, and we said our goodbyes. After heading to the Pokemon Center and resting u for a bit, we went out on the road again.

"Where are we going next?"Blue asked as I looked at a map.

"Hmm...The closest place for my next Gym battle would be Cerulean City. But we first have to go through Mt. Moon to get there."I folded the map back up and put it in my Blue."I said.

"Yeah?"She asked, looking at me.

"What exactly are you doing?"I asked her."I mean, your not challenging Pokemon Gyms, are you?"

"Nope!"She replied happily."I'm on a hunt for the world's cutest and toughest Pokemon!"

I stared at her, dumbfounded.

"What?"She asked."What is it?"

"Nothing."I said, turning my attention back in front of me. We walked for a while, chattering about nothing other then Pokemon. We then came upon a Pokemon Center next to the entrance of Mt. Moon.

"Time to eat!"Blue said, doing a fist pump into the air, and then took off running towards the Pokemon Center. I sighed, and then took off after her.

We entered the Pokemon Center. The decor was pretty much the same for all the Pokemon Centers, and this one was no acception. I threw my bag at Blue and told her not to move as I went up to the front counter to get our rooms.

After talking with Nurse Joy and setting up our rooms, I turned back around to she Blue talking to a blonde hair girl with green eyes. She was tall, and looked about sixteen or seventeen. She wore a purple tank top and black skinny jeans, with black high tops.

"Hey Destiny!"Blue said."This is Aurora."She said, jestering to the girl in front of her."She knows a lot aout Pokemon! Can she travel with us?"

I almost took a step back in shock. Blue was pretty blunt, not that should say anything but still, it was kinda unexpected.

"I'll love to travel with you two."Aurora said, smiling.

"Yeah! And since she knows so much, she could help you with your Gym Battles!"Blue said excitedly, her blue eyes sparkling.

"I guess you can if you really want."I said. Blue squealed and Aurora smiled and thanked me.

We were eating dinner, and I was really starting to like Aurora. One thing was for sure, was that Blue was right when she said Aurora knew a lot about Pokemon.

After we all finish eating, we went to our rooms to sleep. I stared at my new Gym Badge glinting in the moonlight streaming through the window. I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
