Longest Chapter to date! Still no reviews which led me to updating it with a new chapter...Come on! Review! This one is fairly interesting as there is a lot happening...Give it a read...It's called 'Trouble Times Two'.
Chapter 3: Trouble Times Two
Ahhh a new city...My palms have become sweaty from all that pokeball holding...Oshawott and I have become real good partners as our training sesh with the girl of my dreams and best friend, Lana and Conley...Conley and Tepig have become way too strong for me and Lana to keep up with...While Lana's training was simply meditation with Snivy...Did I mention that Snivy is really up herself? We managed to survive Route 2 as my mate; Conley Roberts reads his little book of places in Unova about the city we are in... Striaton City.
"Ah here it is..." Conley mumbles as he looks through the book...
"Well, go on read it..." Lana urges him...
"Striaton City is home to Chili, Cress and Cilan, the city's gym leaders. The eastern half of Striaton City is houses and buildings with unique architectural designs. The western part of the city is a beautifully designed garden. Entry stairs built in memory of a former home in a snowier climate." He reads...
My heart skips a beat when Conley mentions that there are three gym leaders...
"Hold on...Guys...Did I here right? Chili, Cress and Cilan are the city's gym leaders" Lana's heart must have skipped a beat too because she seems to be worried...I hope our hearts skipped a beat together...
God...I can't believe that I'm falling in love with her after all these years...Anyway...Bigger problems to deal with...
"Well, we haven't exactly gotten to deciding whether or not we want to challenge gyms yet...So do you guys want to start doing the 8 Gym Run" Conley asks, closing his book and putting it back into his blue sling bag.
Oh yeah...In the three chapters of this story I haven't described what my friends and I wear and look like...I guess so many things have happened that I never got to fit it in...I have dark blue to almost black hair with dark blue eyes to match...I wear a red shirt with a puffy black vest over the top this goes with my modern style black skinny jeans. I also have a green sling bag with a pocket on the sling to fit my Pokedex and I have two big pockets on the back so I can put items in it, I also have a belt with hooks on it so I can attach my pokeballs to it. Lana has blonde to almost hazel hair (which is the same length as her shoulder blades with it straightened at the end) with luscious emerald green eyes. She wears a purple top which is tucked in with a belt buckle holding up a pair of jeans and on her feet she has brown knee high boots, she has a black handbag which has all her stuff in it. Lastly, Conley has chocolate brown hair with brown eyes. He has a pair of glasses with a grey thin frame, held up by his ears and nose. He wears a black shirt; over the shirt is an orange jacket with grey semi circles on each side. This goes brilliantly with his pair of camouflage denim pants. He also has a light blue sling bag the same style as mine.
"You know what...I'm up for it..." I say finally breaking the silence...
"Snivy and I will bring our A game..." Lana says, pumping her fist in the air...
"It's settled then..." Conley concludes, marching towards the gym as I roll my eyes at Conley's confidence...
OOoOoOoO
Conley marches to the gym to see a man with dark black glasses, grey hair and a grey suit...
"Are you looking for the Gym Leaders?" He asks, showing a glimpse of his pearly whites to Conley as Lana and I stand behind him...
"Damn straight we are...And it looks like your one of them! Cilan? Chili, maybe? Oh I know...Your Cress! "Conley guesses as the man scratches his head...
"No...I'm just here looking for new trainers to manage...The actual gym leader isn't exactly here right now..." He admits...
Conley's eyes and mouth are open wide as Lana giggles and I open up with a roar of chuckles...
"Although I think he might be in the Trainer School..." The man says, although sounding very unsure about it...
"Thank you, very much..." I thanked, grabbing Conley by the collar and pulling him towards the school...
We finally entered the Trainer school...I notice that children are here battling and studying...An elderly woman walks up to us.
"Good Evening and welcome to the Striaton City Trainer School. Is there anything I can do for you?" The elderly woman asks
"Yes actually, have you seen any of the Striaton City Gym Leaders walk in here?" Lana politely asks, looking around the place...
"Oh deary me, you just missed him...He went back to his gym now..." She replies, with a smile on her face...
Conley slaps his forehead...hard...Just as he does this though a boy runs in from the outside holding a grey colour Pokémon...
"Mrs. Minford, I went to the dream yard to catch a Munna but instead these two meanies came in a hurt Minty..." The boy cries, holding the fainted Pokémon tight in his arm...
Who would do such a thing...Suddenly a light bulb flashes in my head...
"Hey, bud...I know this is hard but...What did these meanies look like?" I ask, I have the urge that Lana and Conley have an idea of what I'm getting at...
"One had blonde hair and it was in a ponytail...and the other had red messy looking hair...They both had the letter R on their clothes..." The boys say wiping away his tears...
"Team Rocket!" Lana yelps as the teacher covers her mouth...
"Thanks bud...Lana, Con...Let's head to the dream yard..." I yelp...
The teacher takes Minty...And tends to it as we exit the trainer school and sprint off to the dream yard...In front of the entrance into this ruin is a big tree...People are surrounding them whispering and wondering what's going
"Dammit...We need cut..." Conley utters, stomping his foot hard on the ground...
"How are we going to confront them...?" Lana ponders
As if on cue a young man with light green hair and emerald green eyes runs into the yard...He sends out a funny looking green monkey with a green tree on its head...
"What in the name?" I uttered, pulling out my Pokedex and scanning the Pokémon...
Pansage, the Grass Monkey Pokémon; this Pokémon dwells deep in the forest. Eating a leaf from its head whisks weariness away as if by magic The Pokedex uttered
"Hey, I heard that you guys are here to confront someone...I thought I might help..." The Pansage man says
Really...A random guy who heard about us confronting Team Rocket is randomly going to help us...
"Thanks...You see there is this evil band of bad guys known as Team Rocket...Err...They hurt a little boy's Pokémon... So we are here to confront them..."I partly lied, I couldn't tell everyone that Team Rocket and Plasma are planning a takeover...The whole of Unova will be in panic which is exactly what Giovanni and Ghetsis want...
"Oh that is terrible...How can I be of assistance?" He asks, shrugging his shoulders...
"Does your Pansage happen to have cut by any chance?" Conley questions, pointing the grass monkey Pokémon...
"Yes...Would you like me to cut this tree down so we can get through?" He asks, referring to the tree in front of us...
We all nod as he shouts
"Pansage, use cut on the tree!"
Pansage runs in full speed before jumping in the air and slicing his hand across the tree...The tree falls back making a nice, natural looking bridge for us...We jump up and run across the tree...There we find two Team Rocket grunts...A messy, maroon colour hair and a blonde haired woman...They seemed to be beating up a pink Pokémon.
"Hey, jerks! Pick on somebody else!" Conley yells, angered by this whole situation...
"Go away! Timburr I choose you!" The man says, sending out a small Pokémon holding a long plank...
"What's that Pokémon?" Lana asks pulling out her Pokedex...
Timburr, the Muscular Pokémon; It fights by swinging a piece of lumber around. It is close to evolving when it can handle the lumber without difficulty. The Pokedex announced.
This Timburr was swinging its plank around like it was a bat, so I could tell it was strong...I grab my pokeball ready to send out my friend but instead...
"Go Tepig!" I hear Conley say...
"Conley, are you mad...Tepig is weak the fighting types...Which is exactly what Timburr is." I questioned...
"Don't worry; I know what I'm doing..." Conley replied, stubbornly...
I grunted and sent out Oshawott...
"Oshawott, Tim to Shine!" I screamed sending out my Pokémon...
I heard the woman scoff...
"Two against one...You idiots we're the bad guys we are meant to have illegal advantages..." She said..."Heatmor, assemble and prepare for commands" She yelped, throwing her Pokémon's pokeball...
An ant eater type Pokémon came out...It looked angry...
"Huh? That is..." Lana wondered now scanning what was called a Heatmor
Heatmor, the Anteater Pokémon; It breathes through a hole in its tail while it burns with an internal fire. Durant is its prey. The Pokedex informed us...
"Oshawott, use Water Gun on Heatmor!" I yelled out Oshawott's newly learnt move...Water Gun...It's really helpful because it's Oshawott's important special attack...
Oshawott leaped forward spewing a straight impressive blast of water aimed perfectly at Heatmor...
"Dodge it, Heatmor! Then speed up towards Oshawott and daze it with Lick!" The blonde woman yelled...Immediately her Pokémon went to action dodging Oshawott's water gun then sprinting towards my Pokémon...
"Timburr, Pound that Tepig!" The red haired man yelled...
"Tepig, help Oshawott out by using Ember on it then dodge Timburr's pound and attack it with Ember as well!"
Tepig quickly went to action as Heatmor was charging at Oshawott and Timburr was coming towards Tepig...Tepig leaped up and spewed fire bullets at Heatmor holding him back for the moment then Tepig quickly turns still spewing fire pellets and nails Timburr with them...
"Quickly, Oshawott while Heatmor is dazed blast it close up with a Water Gun! Full effect!" I yell...On command Oshawott blasts Heatmor with a Water Gun sending the heavy Pokémon flying like a Pidove in the sky...
"Now Oshawott, Water Gun...This time our target is Timburr..." I command
"You too Tepig! Except with Ember" Conley yelled together...
On command Tepig fired it's fire bullets and Oshawott shot its Water gun from its mouth as it connected with Timburr fainting it...I looked over at Heatmor...He was out too...
"YES!" I yelled in joy...
I turned to my partner and best friend, Conley...
"Sorry, I doubted you man!" I said apologetically...
"No, it's me who should be sorry...I was being stubborn..." He doubted...
We slapped hands and turned our attention back to the bad guys...
"How dare you!" The woman says...
"No, Claudia...We retreat..." The man says...
Claudia...I got to remember that name...
"Your right...The boss will be disappointed that we never found the spies..." Claudia said, just a tad pissed...She returns her Pokémon and retreats
Suddenly, I see the man look at me...Then at Conley...Then at Lana...He takes his index finger and middle finger, he points to his eyes then to us before returning his Pokémon and running away with his friend...
"That's right...Run, you cowardly bastards...And don't you ever come back..." Conley yells...
"Ahem...Language..." The Pansage man says...
Conley apologises...
"Thanks for your assistance...Umm...We never got your name..." I ask, sheepishly rubbing my head...
"Cilan...My name is Cilan..." Cilan replies...Oh shit! I turn and look at Conley...The expression on his face is the same one he showed when the old man in front of the gym told us the leaders weren't home...
"So you... You're C-Cilan...The gym leader of the Striaton Gym..." Conley asks...Expression still the same...Mouth and eyes open wide...
"Yes...With my brothers Chili and Cress of course...Sorry...I forget to introduce myself before...Hey...What's wrong with you friend?" Cilan asked, pointing to Conley...
"Yeahhh...You see...We were looking everywhere for you...And then we found that boy in the school...So we came here..." I answered, slapping Conley so he can snap out of his zone...
"Yes, we're trainers and we are planning on starting the eight-badge run..." Lana continues...
Cilan sheepishly scratches his head...I look around realising that the sun is setting...
"My apologies...I had to go give a quick lesson to the students in the school...But I tell you what...First thing in the morning...My brothers and I will battle you...How does that sound?" He offers...
Conley snaps out of it now...
"Yeah...Sounds great...But err...You see have been sleeping out in the Route's for days now and never exactly got to sleep on an actual bed...So do you know where we could sleep for the night?" Lana asks...She always enjoyed her beauty sleep...Which is probably why I noticed that she isn't that pretty as she used to be anymore...But let's not tell her that...
"You can sleep in the Pokémon Centre...They have rooms with room service...It's convenient as well because the Pokémart is there as well...And you can heal up your Pokémon before you go to bed..." He said, handing us some advice to go...
"Thanks a bunch today for all your help...Expect a hard battle tomorrow..." Conley thanked before we greeted him a farewell and headed towards the Centre...

Our room had three beds, a television two tables, a closet to put out stuff in, a telephone and a toilet with a shower cubicle...Lana was currently in the shower while Conley was sitting on his bed watching TV...I was holding Oshawott, talking to him...
"Hey, Oshawott...You want a name?" I asked...
Oshawott nodded with delight...
"Alright then...How does Samuel sound? And Sam is what I'll call you for short." I asked again...
"Osha! Oshawott, Osh!" It bellowed as it stood up as it danced around at its new name...I chuckled at it as Conley laughed as well...
"Hey...Alex...Do you think I should name Tepig?" Conley asked me, not taking his eyes off the TV but still listening...
"Yeah why not? A nickname for your Pokémon shows that it has personality, sort of like how Surfer acts like he was a surfer because he had a personality..." I advised...For once I sounded like Conley...I buffed my chest out proudly...Surfer followed...I laughed as Conley got a pokeball out of his bag he pressed the button sending out his fire starter...
"Hey Tepig...How'd you feel if I named you?" Conley asked as I watched on...Lana comes out wearing purple pyjamas with a Munna printed all over her...Oh yeah, I was wearing my pyjamas too...Which was blue with a Psyduck printed all over...Conley had hit night outfit...A black shirt with a big picture of Charizard on it and black pants with little a Charizard printed all over it.
Tepig turned really interested in the show on the TV...Greek gods...
"Hey Tepig...How would you feel if I started calling you Vulcan...It's Greek it means 'fire'" Conley asks as Lana looks on interested...
Tepig turns to him and starts running around on the bed in glee as Conley laughs...
"Vulcan, it is then..." Conley agreed...
"What's all this naming of Pokémon? I think I feel left out now..." Lana says playfully letting out her Snivy...
Snivy waddles about with Samuel and Vulcan as we all try to think of a damn name for this stuck up Pokémon...I wonder how many bricks Lana will shit if I ask her to name it 'Grasshole'...Guess I better find out...
"Hey Lana...I think I got a name..." I mutter trying not to let a giggle out...
"And what might that be..." She snaps, frustrated by thinking too hard...
"Grasshole, is what I had in mind?" I blast as Conley bursts out laughing while Snivy stops and gives me a glare...I finally let the 'giggle' out but it becomes louder making it a chuckle...Surfer and Chef chuckle as well
"I got a name..."Conley says...
"Herbe...Meaning 'grass' in French..." He continued
Lana thought about it...
"Yeah...Hey, Snivy...How does Herbe sound?" She asks...
Snivy nods with her chin up...Do Snivy's even have chins? Anyway
"Hmmm Herbe, Vulcan and Samuel...Cool!" I announce as Lana turns the light off and lies in her bed...
Sam and I are a good pairing...I'm excited to use him tomorrow...I slowly shut my eyes as I let my surroundings drown out...I finally fall asleep
