Reed pulled his Tsutarja away from the empty bag, and Janith pulled her Mijimaru away from the empty bag. They both opened up a pokeball and they went inside. They also put their newly caught pokemon in their pokeballs too. But as they went outside, two people, different from the others, were outside, back-to-back, waiting for them.
"Freeze. That Choroneko of yours, isn't going anywhere," A beautiful lady with a pimple-less face, and glossy purple hair that flowed down to her waist. She had long black gloves, long black high-heeled boots, a black tank-top on the inside, and a matching silver shirt and skirt. The man on the other side had jet-black hair smoothed back, and was holding a gnarled rose. He had roughly the same uniform but only with long silver pants.
"What?" Janith sighed in disbelief. She noticed a number '7' badge on their shirts.
"You have a rarity in these woods, and we demand you to give it to us!" The beautiful lady snarled, suddenly seeming more ugly than beautiful.
Janith looked at her Choroneko in its pokeball. "No way! And just who do you think you are, ordering ME around?"
"I am Setna, and this is Torc," Setna gestured to the sleek man by her. "And we are members of Team Seven, an organization that-"
"Shut up!" Torc said. "Stop giving away all our secrets!" Then turning back to Janith, "Give us that Choroneko or face our wrath!"
"NEVER!" Janith shouted. Reed covered his ears at the sound of Janith's defensive shriek.
"Wrong choice, girly," Setna wagged her finger. She grabbed a green, black, and red pokeball and pressed a red button that released a candle-like pokemon. Janith raised her pokedex up to the pokemon and the pokedex told her that it was a Hitomoshi, a pokemon resembling a candle and that the flame was always burning at more than 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The man named Torc threw out a ghost-like pokemon with a stone face of a human on it belly. Her pokedex told her it was a Desumasu, but not any Desumasu, but a shiny Desumasu, and that shiny pokemon are extremely hard to find in this region.
Janith was eager to beat these fools, who so badly wanted her Choroneko. She had her Choroneko battle, and reed helped by having his Tsutarja battle.
"Hitomoshi, Smog!" Setna commanded. The candle-like pokemon swelled up, and fumes were released. Reed and Janith were coughing, and blinded by the fumes.
The man's voice was speaking now, "Desumasu, Night Shade!" The air was suddenly bright red, then a abyssal black and Choroneko and Tsutarja were hit by unseen objects. The smog soon cleared, and their pokemon were badly damaged.
"Ha. Now hand over that cat before we really hurt it!" Torc said, sounding impatient.
"Chor-ko," Choroneko grunted, and stood up. Tsutarja followed its lead.
"So that cat really is more powerful than we thought. Be that way then," Torc said, and commanded his Desumasu to use another Night Shade, but was cut off when Tsutarja launched a Razor Leaf attack. Desumasu was flung to the ground, receiving several scratches on its belly.
"Choroneko, Pursuit attack, then a kick and a jab to the side, then a bite and use Scratch!" Janith shouted. She was pretty surprised when her Choroneko was able to carry out her confusing orders. Tsutarja held down the Hitomoshi with a Vine Whip attack, while the purple cat hacked away at the candle.
Soon, the enemy Hitomoshi, and the shiny Desumasu were too injured to fight anymore. The enemies quickly ran away as fast and unexpected as they came.
"Yeah!" Reed and Janith high-fived each other. Suddenly, Janith's Choroneko started to glow hot white, and change form. Janith stared, as her pokemon was evolving for the first time. What was just a small purple cat, was now a leopard-like purple pokemon with tan rings on its back. "Lepar?" It mewled. It then went up to Janith and rubbed against her leg. The cat was now as tall as up to Janith's waist with four legs on the ground.
"Totally cool!" Janith squeaked, jumping up and down, the people on the streets who watched the battle were clapping loudly, the elderly people that watched was smiling with adoration. Janith scanned her new pokemon and her pokedex told her that it was now a Lepardas. "A new pokemon and an evolution in ONE DAY!"
The Lepardas was now practicing a move that Janith hadn't seen before. It was cutting down weeds and slicing through bits of moss growing on the ground with a new move called 'slash', as the pokedex's built-in attackdex told Janith.
"And a new move!" Janith was far too excited to notice the awe in Reed's expression. They quickly left the spotlight, and the street was back to normal. It was not close to sunset, and they only had a mere hour to locate the gym leader. They asked and asked, and followed maps for what seemed like forever, until they arrived at a gray stadium in the shape of a ring.
