Hey guys, thanks for all the reviews I got for last chapter, sorry that there were no questions. But I have a major announcement, and this goes to all the reviewers and the viewers (that's right, I'm watching you!) But I will tell you guys at the end of this chapter. So without further ado, I give you chapter 8!

Disclaimer I don't own pokemon.

The sun was high, the weather was clear, I could tell that today was going to be a good day. After the little fiasco at the museum, I bring the team back to the pokemon center to heal up.

"Okay guys, the next town is suppose to have a gym. By the looks of the map, it's gonna be a long walk. But it does give us time to train. So who's ready?!"

"Yeah!" Everyone shouts in agreement. I pack my things, leave the pokemon center, and we enter route 110. To my surprise I run into a dragonair, talk about luck. Using the same tactic I did with Dash, DUCKTAPE, I manage to capture him, thinking that Lonestar would be a cool name, I send him to the pc box. Soon I begin training my team, and to my surprise again, I run into an electabuzz. "Man, what's up with all the rare pokemon today? Okay Nelipot, ready to level up?"

"You know it!" At first, Nelipot had the upper hand, already taking half the electric's health. But then the electabuzz was able to paralyze Nelipot with thunder punch, but he still had enough health. He takes another thunder punch to the face and his health was in the red, but Nelipot just needed one more attack. Unfortunately, he was unable to move, seeing what was gonna happen I try to rush in and save Nelipot before the electabuzz could finish him off. "Come on, almost there, just a little more!" I was inches away from Nelipot, but it was too late. Just before the electabuzz delivers the attack, Nelipot looks at me and I see in his eyes that he knows what will happen next. The thunder punch connects hard with his stomach, he was down, and all of us were too shock to move.

Suddenly Locsite rushes forward, rage in his eyes, and he delivers a devastating fire punch to the electabuzz face, sending him flying away. I snap back to my senses and check for Nelipot's heart rate.

*Thump….thump….thump*

It wasn't looking good, his heart was getting weaker by the second. "Don't worry, everything is going to be okay. Just be strong, you will make it!"

Nelipot gives a rough cough, "Sorry TM, but I'm afraid my time has come." He lets out another rough cough, by now everyone was starting to tear up a bit, "Now do not cry, it will be okay. Chin up now, continue moving forward, be a brave heart."

*Thump…..thump…..thump…..*

His heart finally stops, he was gone. If it wasn't for what he said, I'm pretty sure we all would've start crying, right there and then. But wanting to keep his last wish, we decide to give him a burial. The process was long, but eventually we finish, we have our moment of silence but then we move on. Nelipot…you will be missed.

Nelipot: Male Vigoroth, met at route 103, level 3-19

After a while, we decide it's time to go, as we are going through route 110, I look back at Nelipot's resting place one last time. But then I suddenly bump into someone.

"Oh TM, just the person I was looking for!" Great, off all the people in the world, it had to be professor Birch.

"Hey, look, I'm not in the mood, one of my pokemon just passed away." I was expecting him to laugh, yell, or something crazy, but instead he has a look of remorse.

"I am sorry for your loss, don't worry, I know you can pull through." His reply left me dumbfounded that I didn't notice that he grabs my pokenav and registers his number.

"Hey!"

"Don't worry, I'm just giving you my contact info, just in case you ever need help." He gives back my pokenav and starts to leave, but just then he turns around, "Oh and say hello to May for me." With that he goes to who knows where.

"Maybe he isn't such a bad guy after all." But when I reach into my pockets I find that half of my money is gone, "Or maybe he is just a stinking theft!" We continue on route 110, battle some trainers, going under cycling road, and when we are halfway through, do we run into May, who was currently riding a bike.

"I feel sorry for you."

"Why?"

"Because you don't have a bike!"

"So!"

"You don't have a bike, you don't have a bike!" She starts to taunt me over and over again, I rather battle her than hear her talk, so I send out Dash. "That's more like it!" Even though I sent Dash out first, she still goes with Wingull. Just like last time, instant KO with thunder punch. She finally sends out Grovyle, I was about to send in Locsite, but I wanted to see how Lavender will do, so I send her out. It was pretty close, even with the type advantage, it took awhile until Lavender delivers a double kick, one to his face and one to his sweet spot. Me and all the male pokemon cringe when we saw her do that. "Yikes, that was a little uncalled for! Oh well, better luck next time!" This girl made no sense, she gets on her bike and rides off.

"Lavender, that was a little uncalled for back there."

"Sorry, I needed something to take my anger out on, I was still a little mad at the loss of our comrade."

"No problem, I just hope that you don't do it to one of us."

"As long as they don't get on my bad side, they will be fine." All the guys let out a sigh of relief as C-Run and Lavender laugh. We do some more training but eventually we make it to Mauville city. I see a bike shop and decide to check it out. There were tons of bikes but the prize was crazy high. "Um…is there any way I can get a bike without having to pay?"

"You expect me to give you a bike, for free?! What do you possible have that can convince me of letting you have a bike."

"Sorry but all I have are some battle items I picked up from route 110." The moment I said battle items, the shop owner suddenly has a look of addiction in his eyes.

"Give me all of them and the bike is yours." Before I could even agree he takes all my battle items and gives me a bike. He then literally kicks me out of the store.

"Great another battle item addict. Okay guys, we trained enough, I think it's time to show this gym leader who's boss!" We march to the gym but then I see a green haired kid at the door. He notices me and starts waving.

"TM, it's me, Wally!" Wally…now why does that ring a bell. "Let's battle." He sends out a Ralts, and that 's when I remember the kid who I caught the male ralts for.

"Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you." I send out Skipper and he is more than ready to fight.

"So I hear you are male, but with you ralts it's hard to tell you apart." And there goes Skipper and his taunts. He didn't even take the fight seriously, he takes a deep breath and hacks a loogie mud shot, the ralts instantly faints. "That was more disappointing than Napoleon playing basketball!" I don't know who he was talking about, but at least we won.

"I…lost…." Wally looks like he was in shock, that can't be good.

We manage to get past him and into the gym. Once inside I see high tech gear, full of electrical stuff. For some reason there were electrical fences everywhere, luckily I step on a switch without even knowing. Soon all the fences were off, and I see the gym leader up ahead, he was a pretty big old guy with a white beard.

"Are you the gym leader Wattson?"

"Whaaaahaaahaaaa!"

"Um…excuse me?"

"Whaaaaaahaaaaahaaaaaa!" This guy just kept on laughing over and over again.

"Okay, give me a loud laugh if my dad ever gave you any battle items."

"WHAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAA!" Yup, I knew it. Better get this battle over with. I send out Skipper, and he is more than enough for this guy.

"Prepare yourself, for none can stand up to Le Skipper!"

"Whaahaha!"

Wattson sends out voltorb and the thing blows itself up! The force of the attack sent Skipper flying to the wall but he gets up quickly.

"Ha! You call that an attack?! You American wouldn't even know what an attack is, even if it hits you upside the head!" He sends out electyke, Skipper just spits a mud shot at the electric pokemon, instant KO. "I wasn't even trying that round!" Next comes Magnaton, and Skipper doesn't hold back, blasting the steel/electric pokemon with mudshot. Wattson sends out his last pokemon, a manectric, into the field. "I will be fair this time and let you have the first attack." The manectric delivers a hard quick attack, but it doesn't even faze Skipper. "That was weak and pathetic, as a French pokemon, I will give you the greatest disgrace a French can ever give!" He mud slaps him hard across the face, instant KO. "And that is how it's done!"

"Good job Skipper, though the mud slap was over doing it a bit. Alright Wattson, I believe you owe me one badge."

"Whaaahaaahaahahahahahhahhaha hahhahahhahaha!" He just gives me the badge but doesn't stop laughing. Me and my team slowly back away, towards the exit. Once we are out, we get as far as we can from the place. With that, I now have three badges, one more and then I can finally face my father! We go to the pokemon center and rest for the night. But before going to sleep I notice Skipper and Lavender sneaking out. Figuring they just want some alone time, I go to sleep.

Pokemon Team:

Locsite: Male Magmar, brave, level 23, knows ember, smog, leer, fire punch, American.

Dash: Male Elekid, hardy, level 22, knows quick attack, thunder punch, leer, light screen, American.

C-Run: Female Articuno, mild, level 20, knows gust, powder snow, mist, steel wing, Italian.

Skipper: Male Marshtomp, mild, level 28, knows mud-slap, tackle, mud shot, water gun, French.

Lavender: Female Nidorina, relaxed, level 26, knows double kick, bite, shock wave, helping hand, Russian.

Okay guys, I was originally gonna make this chapter longer, but then Nelipot…you see, I used uproar, which continuously attacks but doesn't let you use items or switch out. That electabuzz paralyzed him then got a critical. I thought I was doing so good but when he died, man it was hard to continue, but I did! Seems like the dad shared some of his battle items. Okay now time for the announcement, a major difficult question is coming soon, actually it will be in the chapter after I beat dad. The prize will be epic! You remember the prize from chapter 1, well it's nothing compared to this one. But it is still too early, once I beat the fourth gym leader, I will let you know what the prize is. For now, it's time for pokemon trivia!

Where can you find a moon stone in pokemon emerald?

First one to pm the answer wins, now it's 1 am, so I'm going to sleep as soon as I post this, I will make sure to figure out who won okay. Also, just a reminder, I did set up a poll about which pokemon you like on my team so far, don't be afraid to check it out. Until then, good luck, and don't forget to review if you want to!
