"Vulcan, Ember, Then follow up with Tackle, Then Ember then back to Tackle..." Conley shouted.

"Lillipup, Dodge them all..." Cress orders...

Lillipup fails to dodge and is quickly caught with ember...It easily faints!

"Lillipup, What happened?" Cress wonders as he returns his Pokémon.

"Alright, This is over...Panpour!" He calls sending out his water monkey.

I nudge Lana who sits next to me, I pull out my Pokedex and show it to her and She nods and pulls out hers...

Panpour, the Spray Pokémon; the water stored inside its tuft on its head is filled with nutrients. Plants that receive its water grow large. The Pokedex informs us; I put Dex away and continue to watch the action... Oh, Dex is the nickname I gave my Pokedex, At first it was strange but I got used to it eventually.

"Alright Return, Vulcan..." Conley strangely calls. I raise an eyebrow at the sight of his Pokémon returning to its pokeball.

"Conley, you moron..." Lana yells as she slowly trails of, "What the hell are you up to..." She mutters in confusion...My ears shatter as her screams are very high pitched and could very well shatter windows or glass objects nearby, I chuckle at that thought.

"Go, Sage!" He calls sending out a Pokémon.

I started one of my many coughing fits in shock...Conley caught a Pansage! He didn't tell me about catching a Pansage, but then again the bastard doesn't tell me about anything these days, Come to think of it he never even had time to go catch a Pokémon.

"Sage, Use Lick!" He called.

"Panpour, Dodge it then use Lick." Cress calls...Lick war...Hehe, I'm too immature for my age and I just know it.

AHA! now I remember, during our training session before going to the Gym, Conley told me and Lana that he had a friend in the Dream yard that wanted to battle him... Maybe he caught it there? Panpour dodged the Lick and went for a Lick of its own.

"Sage, Move out of the way then use Lick." Conley called, for Con's sake I hope he knows Sage knows more moves other than Lick.

Once again Panpour dodged it...

"Your tactic is getting old my friend!" Cress boasted as his Pokémon dodged the move

"Alright now use Vine whip..." Conley orders as almost instantly Vine Whip swings into action slapping Panpour in the face.

Panpour is exhausted from dodging those Licks and then getting struck with Vine Whip would have definitely made it worse. With that Panpour drops to the ground...fainted...Conley returned Sage

"Thanks for all your help." He wished, I could sense this would be the last we see of Sage

"Well done, Conley! You're a very strong and smart trainer! I am proud to hand over to you the Trio Badge." Cress had informed him.

My heart kept beating faster every time a minute went past as finally Cilan stood up...He took a heavy breath of fresh air as if he was about to take a load of some relief.

"Alex, yesterday...You confronted Team Rocket members because they hurt young boys Pokémon...Correct?" Cilan asked.

My heart was racing a hundred miles per hour as my brain was trying to answer the question and figure out where Cilan was going with this. I nodded

"I'll be honest, after seeing you battle like that made me just a tad worried...So I made my choice and I will not be battling you. I have decided to hand you the Trio Badge on a count of your bravery, battling skills and the fact that I'm too afraid to battle you! " Cilan blurts out sheepishly.

My heart jumps around in joy and as far as I know I'm about to as well but I remain the calm posture I always am and put on an act for my "audience"...*sigh* I put on a fake sad face!

"Oh...I don't know if I can accept this..." I sarcastically said as Cilan hands me the badge.

"Brother, you can't just hand this kid the badge!" Chili erupts, see what I did there...Chili, fire type, erupt? No? Forget about it...

"Would you like to battle him then" Cilan replies sternly.

Chili realises that his Pokémon have already fainted and won't be strong enough to battle...Not to mention the fact that I have the advantage.

"It's alright..." He says, stepping back.

Lana has a cold expression on her face; she seems a tad pissed that I got a free ride. Conley however is chuckling; he probably can't believe my luck. Hell; I can't believe my own luck.

"It has been a pleasure..." Cilan says.

We all say our goodbyes before making our way out of Striaton City.

"Badge number 1, senorita! The Trio Badge..." I smother proudly as if I actually won the badge.

My gleam of joy is put to its end with a smack behind the head; courtesy of Conley. I rub my head as we stand in front of what looks like a Day Care Centre.

We quickly visit it and greet some nice people before we head on out going west through the rest of Route 3.

Jackson's Welcoming

"Oh, mother if Arceus! If there is any Pokémon that I can use instead of walking SHOW IT TO ME!" I shout as I sit on the mucky floor. We had been walking through the route investigating it for hours and my feet have quickly become wrinkled prunes...Although just as I scream out my wish... A Pokémon charges out from behind a tree and is running madly towards us...

It looks like a white-on-black zebra Pokémon, with thick, pointed white stripes on its neck, chest, back and hind legs. It has a large, rounded dark nose, and oval eyes with blue irises and yellow scleras. It also possesses a spiked white mane, culminating at the front in a lightning-bolt-esque pointed extension; it also sports stubby, triangular dark ears with blue skin on the insides. Its legs are mainly white with black hooves, and its tail is stubby, white-colored and pointed. I quickly roll out of the way as the Pokémon known as Blitzle halts and spins around and stares me in the eye...

"WHAA?" I scream...

"I don't think we're in its territory...An evolved form of this would probably have rights to this territory...So why the hell did it charge at you?" Conley wonders.

I slowly form a smirk on my face having one of my awesome ideas...But first before this thing charges I need to get it down on the Pokedex.

Blitzle, the Electrified Pokémon; its mane shines when it discharges electricity. They use their flashing manes to communicate to one another. This Blitzle is a male. My Pokedex informed us.

"Okay...Sam...It's Battling Time!" I scream...I send out my Oshawott with just a bit of worry hoping that this obvious electric Pokémon doesn't kick Sam's- err-tail feathers...I quickly however notice that there seems to be a thorn underneath the hoof of Blitzle...

"He's got a thorn under his hoof which is why he is thrashing about...I going to try and tire him out before I pull the thorn out..." I called my plans...

Conley nodded and Emma...Just took pictures...

"Sam, use Tackle..." I called...

Sam charged at Blitzle with speed that I haven't seen from him...I could tell he was getting more powerful...Sam hit Blitzle with Tackle taking down the Electrified Pokémon...Blitzle was on its side breathing heavily as I walked over to it...I bent down, it got a little scared but that didn't bother me...I plucked the thorn out... Blitzle then rolled onto its feet and trotted around me happily.

"I think it's grateful..." Lana said with a hearty chuckle.

"I guess now would be a good time to ask you if you want to be a part of my team, Blitzle..." I asked, it felt strange talking to a Pokémon that I couldn't understand but I felt it was something that I had to do...Blitzle trotted to me and nuzzled my neck.

"That's a yes..." I mutter, I feel happy that I have such a loving Pokémon on my team now.

"You know, You make me feel like singing a song that's called "Black or White" by this artist, called Michael Jackson...So I'm going to call you Jackson..." I announce as Jackson trots happily.

"I think he likes his new name..." Lana says watching on.

"I think he does too..." I agreed.

I return Jackson back to his pokeball and we continue on our journey.

Enter Rochelle the Pidove

We decided to spend a few more minutes out on the route before we would venture through a cave because Conley had some stuff he wanted to do around there. Just as we were about to leave a grey blur flies past us and snatches Conley's glasses.

"Son of a-"Conley was interrupted...

"Female Herdier!" Lana quickly finished, I let out a loud chuckle.

That blur turned out to be a Pidove...

Pidove is a mainly gray, pigeon-like Pokémon. It has large, oval eyes with golden irises, and a rounded head from which a spiky, crest-like arrangement of three feathers protrudes from the top of its head. It has a short, black beak, with a bulbous pink cere, with a black patch on the back of its neck and a wide heart-shaped area of lighter coloration on its chest. Pidove's black-colored wings have a thick gray stripe down them, and pink feet with black nails.

The Pidove chirped as it flew back down and perfectly placed the glasses back on Conley's face...

"A Pidove...An awesome flying type to have on my awesome team..." Conley stuttered, positioning his glasses back into place.

"I think it took your glasses just to gain our attention..." Lana suggest.

Pidove chirps loudly before flying over and sitting on Conley's shoulder.

"I think you're right Lana..." Conley says positively

Conley pulls out his Pokedex:

Pidove, the Tiny Pigeon Pokémon; These Pokémon live in cities. They are accustomed to people. Flocks often gather to parks and plazas. This Pidove is Female. Con's Pokedex announced.

"I can't wait to use you in battle, Rochelle" Conley announced as he stroked his two fingers over the soft feathers of Rochelle.

He pulled out a pokeball and taps it softly on the head of his new team mate as the ball shakes before quickly clicking together.

"Vulcan and Rochelle should do great in their future battles." Conley adds, assuring Lana and myself that his Pokémon are going to have a successful future "Enough of that though, we should head towards that cave." He urges.

"Sure, To the cave!" I mock as we make our way back through the route...

Unaware of just what the hell we are about to get into.
