Finally, the moment you've all been waiting for! Chapter 5!

Touya: Please, it's obvious all the viewers really want to see is me, White and Aura's epic battle with N!

Amber: White, Aura, and I! Goodness, use proper grammar, would ya?

Touya: Quiet! now, how will this battle turn out?

White: R-read on t-to find out!

Amber: Oh! And I don't own Pokemon! If I did, riolu could be a starter! Now N! Thank our viewers!

N: Amberintheflame would like to thank Random Dudette, Shira, shin obin, Immortal Horse, and MsWildLuck for their support. Enjoy.

Aura: Riolu!

"Y-you idiot! What i-if Touya notices it's m-me!"

I glanced at the two teens before me and the gears in my head start to turn. "Hmmm" I stroke my chin in thought "I didn't really think this through, did I?"

"Riolu!" Aura agreed by my side, shaking her head in mock disappointment. I gasp and look down at her.

"Aura! I know this wasn't very well thought out, but you don't have to be so mean about it!"

She snickered and I turn back to the boys. I could almost see their confusion. "Well anyways, back to business!"

'She's pretending like it didn't happen! No! You can't ignore something like that!' Touya though panicked. 'Is this girl really going to be ok?'

I point at the green haired boy, a confident smirk on my face. "N! I challenge you to a Pokemon battle!"

The first encounter

he blinked, and then glanced down at his injured purrloin How would this battle be fair when his Pokemon was like this? Reading his mind, I chuck something at his head.

With reflexes I didn't know he had, he caught it. "That's a super potion." I explain. "it took me forever to find one. This will let you heal your Pokemon up to full health. Now you can't refuse the battle."

I turn my head to my brother, sizing him up. This was the first time I've seen him in person. Unlike Touko, he looked no different from his game form.

"Touya" his attention shifted from N to me. "I would invite you to hang around and watch this battle, but you might want to heal your own friends." I gesture to the pokeball in his hand. He held it in a tight grip, his hand shaking.

He turned around, hat over his eyes and I look at him with a small smile. This guy still has a lot to learn.

"And Touya!" I call out. He doesn't turn around but pauses to show he was listening.

White let out a small squeak but I ignored it. I know he wouldn't recognize me.

"I'm a rookie too! So train, get strong, and come battle me once you get there! We can fight for the position of strongest, so I'll wait for you when I get to the top!"

"Don't get so cocky!" He retorted in a strong voice, "We will meat again, and I'll win! No matter what!"

"Don't think I'll lose so easily either."

Then he dashed away.

I stare at his retreating back in shock. That last line was not me, it was White.

"White you..." I mutter. I heard a small giggle in my head and I grin.

"Good job White, I'll take it from here." I stare at N as he finished spraying the purrloin with the super potion.

"Now then, N! Are you ready?"

he returned my fiery gaze with one of ice. "I don't know who you are but never the less, I'll show you as well."

his purrloin stepped forwards and I tense.

"Ready Aura?" I mutter to the Pokemon standing besides me.

"Olu! Re!" She cheered with a fighting spirit surrounding her. I grin and let the fire ignite in my eyes too.

"Alright! Aura, I choose you!"

"Purrloin, please lend me your assistance."

We looked at each other, a tense atmosphere surrounding us. Now, who would make the first move?

"Use scratch!"

N's Pokemon lunged forwards, claws swinging around in front of the cat.

He quickly got close to Aura and I cursed. Thing was as fast as my own partner.

"Aura!" I call out quickly, "use your quick attack to doge!"

Doing as she was told, Aura quickly barreled away from the attacking opponent. But the cat was persistent, and followed Aura.

"Keep on attacking." N ordered. I stare at the two Pokemon fighting it out in worry. What persistence! Poor Aura doesn't even have time to attack! I stare at the battle, thinking of ways we could get out of this sticky situation.

The purrloin continued it's attack in rapid succession, not even letting Aura pause for a breath.

"Ahhh!" I yell out "No good! I can't think of anything for a strategy! Dang it! If only we had another opportunity like when we first landed a hit on the darned pokemon.

"But all A-aura can preform right n-now is quick attack. A-and even then, it's u-useless if she can on-only use it for running a-away."

Yeah. If only Aura knew another attack... Wait!

I quickly turn my head to watch the two pokemon dance around the small battle field. The cat, scratch. Aura, doge. The cat, scratch. Aura doge. But each time, I see something glow in the riolu's paw. Or maybe...

"Aura! I have an idea! But it's a gamble! Feeling lucky?"

"Ri!" Aura grunted and I smile. Let's win this.

"Aura! Get hit by the attack!"

"What are you doing?" N asked from his spot, "There's no point in letting your pokemon suffer needlessly. Unless you've already given up?"

"Not a chance! Partner! Take the hit but keep your ground!"

I watched nervously as Aura paused. N's purrloin rushed over, claws out and ready to strike.

They knock back Aura a few feet but she stays standing. Her paw begun to glow brighter and I smile.

Good job! Now; Use Counter!"

"Riolu!" Aura dashed back at the purrloin, paws both glowing bright white while a dimmer shade covered the rest of the body.

She rams into the Purrloin with spirit and I let out a cry of victory. The pokemon staggers for a few moments, before swinging back and forth a bit.

Finally, he hits the ground, twirls for eyes. "We d-did it! W-we won!" White was the first to react, happily cheering in the back of my head.

Soon, both me and Aura broke into cheer too. She jumped into my arms and I pat her head while giggling.

N on the other hand, walked slowly to his fallen pokemon. I jump off my spot on the ledge to walk over to it too.

I pullout a small yellowish star- a revive- and use it on the cat, quickly followed by a potion.

He woke up quickly and turns towards me. "Purrloin." I say softly "Good battle." Aura jumps out of my hands and talks to her former opponent.

Quickly, they involve themselves in a conversation and ran around both me and N, playing happily.

N glanced at me. "Just so you know, I don't own a pokedex." I assure him.

His face betrayed no emotion, though his eyes showed both relief and sadness. Why sadness?

"As long as Pokemon are confined in Poke Balls..." He spoke, getting up "Pokemon will never become perfect beings. I have to change the world for Pokemon because they're my friends."

After that, he quickly walked away. In his place was a single shiny poke ball.

"That's strange." I mutter thoughtfully "Why did he leave a pokeball?" I pick it up, throwing it back and forth between my hands.

"Hmmm" As I studied it, I didn't notice the two pokemon running towards me.

The both crash into my figure, causing all three of us to topple to the ground. The pokeball rolled out of my hands and into the purrloin.

"Ah!" White yelled, but it was too late. The ball shuttered three times before sparks flew and a small click was heard.

I stare down at the pokeball in my hands. It's red top glistened in the sunshine and inside, I saw a miniaturized figure of the purrloin that was running around just moments before.

"I" I looked at the pokeball in disbelief, "No, we. We just caught our first pokemon."

Glancing at the pokemon, I hastily add "If your ok with being part of my team, that is."

The small cat gave a nod in response. I grin brightly. "Alright! We just caught our first pokemon! A new friend!" I bounced up and down in excitement, Aura joining me soon after.

"Ichi." I declare happily, holding up the pokeball like a winner would a trophy."Because your my first catch, I'll name you Ichi."

I pressed my thumb on the white dot at the center of the pokeball and the newly dubbed Ichi popped out.

"Purloin!" he purred in content. I smile.

"Say, Aura. Ichi. How about we have a nice victory lunch before we blow this joint?"

The two cheered in unison as a yes.

Turning around, I start to march back towards the more populated part of the town.

"Let's celebrate." I whispered.

"Y-yeah." White replied in my head.

Extra: What happened to him?

A boy in a blue baseball cap ran up to his friend, two Pokeballs in his arms. The friend looked at him shocked.

"Cheren!" The first youth called out to him urgently. " Get nurse Joy! Please!"

The glasses teen wasted no time rushing into the center, quickly calling to the nurse for help. She rushed outside with Cheren and lifted the Pokeballs from the other boy's grip.

"Please take care of them." He practically begged. Nurse Joy nodded and took off.

All the boy could do was watch. "What happened Touya?" Cheren asked his best friend concerned. "Was it that green haired guy? I didn't like him. He talks too fast."

Touya sighed at his friends ability to jump to conclusions, however accurate they may be. "Don't worry about it Cheren." He informed his worried pal.

"It was that N guy, but some other rookie trainer saved my butt."

Cheren looked confused. "Other rookie?"

Touya smiled at the memory his newest rival. "Yeah. Apparently, she just started out with her journey too. Her starter though, was a riolu."

The bespectacled boy frowned in thought. "What's a riolu doing in Unova?" He muttered to himself.

The first boy chuckled. "Don't hurt yourself thinking about it. She's most likely aiming for the champion's spot like yourself so you'll meet her along your journey. You can ask her yourself then."

He then turned his attention to the sky. The sun now just fading behind the skyline. 'I can't wait to battle her as well.' he thought 'But why dose she seam so familiar?'

A green haired boy strode out of Accumula town, a look of confusion on his face.

"That Purrloin." he muttered, "He told me to hand him to that girl."

"Lord N, we have been looking all over for you. Your father is greatly worried."

N waved off the grunt. His father knew he was out changing the world and had no time to sit around. He had to save his friend. To free them.

He had to.

But...

"Who was that girl?"

Sorry I'm so late! But school's out now! So expect more updates!

Please stick around as the story continues!

Touya: That's right! The story's only going to escalate from here! Any comments, rivals?

N: ...

Touko: Ok then? Touya? Any comments?

Touya: Yes, I've been meaning to ask, how did you know my name?

Touko: Ahaha. ahaha. Oh! Looks like we're out of time! Please review and tune in next time~

White: B-bye!
