Thanks for the reviews guys, and thanks to all those who cared about Locsite. The answer to last chapter's question was to go to viridian city, talk to the old man, say no, fly to cinnabar island, use surf and go long the coastlines. Congrats to pokemonpuppy23. Okay, I'm gonna level with you, I've been slacking off on the story. I can't do that! That's why I will make this chapter long. That's right, another long day. So bear with me if I take awhile to post this. ON with the story!

Disclaimer I don't own pokemon.

We all gathered around the baby nidoran, waiting for Lavender to name her child. "Volcanbell, from where I come from it means strong of heart. Or little VB for short."

Skipper was grumbling a little, "I would've preferred the Mona Lisa. But VB is perfect."

Looking at VB's face fills me with determination. "Alright guys, as much as I would like to spend time looking at the baby, I think it's time that we get that sixth gym badge!"

Dakota was the first to speak up, "But I thought you were calling quits?"

"Why would I quit when I am almost done?! I was just a little down, and just like all of you, I'm ready to continue this journey! Are you with me?!"

"YEAH!" Everyone shouts in agreement.

"Then let's go-" I stop when I see some aqua grunts blocking the only path to the next gym leader. "Really, now of all times?!" I go to one of them and tap them on the shoulder, "Excuse me, but can you let me and my friends pass?"

"NO! We are on lookout duty, no one gets on this bridge. Also don't go anywhere near the weather institute!"

"What institute?" He then turns me around and points to a building that was covered by some dense trees.

"That institute, stay away from there, there is nothing going on in there. Just ignore that place."

As soon as the grunts' back were turn to us, we head to the institute. Once inside, we see a whole bunch of team aqua members, it's as if they were searching for something. This was going to be hard, especially since my pokemon are exhausted from training. So far only my Lavender had good health, so I kept her out as I return all my other pokemon. But just then, I notice a boy trying to get my attention. He was wearing a yellow jacket with the collar being blue and pleated. Underneath it, I notice he was wearing what appears to be a blue vest with a single button and several gray patterns on it, with a plain black t-shirt. His pants were colored in shades of gray, black and white, with his gray sneakers with yellow laces, and a gray and white checkered wristband me and Dakota head towards the guy to see what he wants.

"Hey, I notice you two are pokemon trainers, maybe we can work together to beat these guys."

"Okay, but who are you?"

"Christopher Walker or Chris for short."

"Well mind telling me why you are exactly here?"

"Well I was sent here from Sinnoh to do some research from Professor Rowan." Sinnoh, I heard of that place but never been there before. I've seen some of the pokemon there, but only from TV. That's when I notice that there were two pokemon I never expect to see in person. One of them I recognize, the black, yellow, and blue fur, with spikes coming out of the paws and chest, along with a tail, I believe this pokemon was called lucario except it didn't look like the normal kind of lucarios, this one was a shiny. But the other pokemon I never seen before, with its orange fur, monkey like body, and a tail flame, this is one interesting pokemon. Chris must have notice me looking at his pokemon. "Where are my manners, let me introduce the team." He points at the lucario, "This is Raven the lucario."

"How's it going mates, you sure are lucky to have met me, I could easily take these guys down faster than a bunery running from a grovyle." By the sound of the voice, Raven was female with an Australian accent.

"Yes Raven, but I think it's best if we had more trainers to help us." For a second there I thought he just talk with his pokemon, I wander if he can understand them. He then points to the fire monkey, "This is Ember the Monferno."

Ember walks up to Lavender and starts shaking her hand, "Dasvidaniya!" Lavender was slightly confused by this.

"Um, why are you saying good bye when we just meet?"

"I said good bye? Sorry, my russian is a bit off." Turns out this monferno was female and amercian.

"Ember, I know you can speak multiple languages, but please make sure you know how to say them correctly."

There he goes again, time to find out if I'm right or wrong! "By any chance, can you understand your pokemon?"

"Yeah, but I don't know how I can exactly."

Wow, another trainer who can understand pokemon, what a small world. "Alright, well I'm TM."

"And I'm Dakota, by any chance do you have change for a pokedollar?"

Me and Chris just look at him, but then he just starts laughing again. "Anyways, now that introductions are done, I think it's time we take down these aqua grunts. So here's the plan." I didn't even get a chance to explain, for both Chris and Dakota, who lets out his charizard, start battling the grunts. I just face palm as I use Lavender to take down another grunt. Soon we had beaten all the grunts on the first floor. Chris was about to high five us suddenly he notices charizard and Lavender, and starts to shake.

"What's wrong?!"

"I h-have a slight phobia of pokemon, especially when they are big." Me and Dakota just sigh as he switches out his charizard for his dodrio and I switch Lavender for Dash. Soon he calms down, and we continue forward.

We head up the stairs, and see that there are even more grunts up here than downstairs, this time we just go out there and send out our pokemon. It took awhile, but it wasn't difficult, especially when Dash can KO these guys's water type pokemon in one hit. We thought we were done, but turns out there was one more grunt. This lady seem different, I just know it.

"So you manage to get up here, you are very brave and ignorant! You think you can beat me?! You're so cute, you're disgusting! I will destroy you, but let's have fun." This lady was switching back and forth between a friendly person to a maniac. Seriously, is there anyone here who isn't crazy?!

"Why is team aqua here?!"

"Oh I will never tell you! Unless we have friendly battle, in which I will destroy you! Prepare yourself, for here come Shelly!" We agree that I will take her on. She sends out Carvanha, who is just flopping on the ground. You know, for a team wanting to fill the land with water, they sure don't realize that their water pokemon need water to battle, especially when we are in a water free building. I look at Dash and give him a nod, he understands what I mean, and just walks up to the flopping pokemon and zaps by barely touching it with thunder punch. It was instant KO. "You just got lucky, this time I'm serious, but you are doing a great job." She then sends out a wolf like pokemon, with black fur, and fangs ready to bite. Well at least her mightyena might prove a challenge for Dash this time.

"Okay Dash, don't hold back!"

"I don't intend to!" He starts charging up a whole bunch of electricity in his body, and when he was at his peak, he releases thunderbolt unto the mightyena. It fainted the moment it was hit, I'll be honest, I was expecting the pokemon to be tougher than that. Maybe Dash went a little too overboard.

"Hahahahahaha! You are disgustingly strong! What makes you think you can go snooping around in our business?!" Just then another aqua grunt comes up the stairs and rushes towards Shelly.

"We have a situation, we just spotted team magma crossing the bridge and heading towards Mt. Pyre!"

"What?! We have to stop them! Don't think this is the last you see of team aqua you brats, and remember, don't do battle items." With that team aqua leaves.

"Well that was…interesting, to say the least." After freeing the workers here, who were all trapped in the closet, we head back down to the entrance. "Thanks Chris for helping us back there."

"No problem. It was the least I can do."

"So where are you going to do next?"

"I got enough research, so I'm going to return to Sinnoh. Gotta say, I was not expecting to run into you two. You make things interesting." With that we said our goodbyes to the sinnoh trainer, and off he went.

"Who would've expected that we would meet a trainer from Sinnoh?" Anyways, we decide to rest a bit before continuing on. Turns out they had a place to rest our pokemon, would've been helpful if they were to mention it earlier! But something else I notice was a pc, and with Locsite…anyways, I needed someone who can help, and I know just the guy. After some arrangements, I was able to bring Alistar back on the team. I explain to him what happened, and he shows his sympathy, I ask if he remembers anything, unfortunately he doesn't, but he is happy to be joining us on our team. Once we thought we were good, me and Dakota start crossing the bridge, but when we are halfway there, I start to hear a bike, and I had a feeling I know who it is.

Just then a bike goes over my head, barely missing me, and I see that it's May, "Hey TM, you won't believe what I just found out!"

I know I'm going to regret this, "What?"

"Well there was this girl, and she ran into to this boy, and she shouted, BATTLE!" With that she sends out slugma.

"Really?!"

"BATTLE NOW!"

"Fine!" I send out Skipper and he beats the pokemon in one move. She sends out grovyle and I send out Alistar, instant KO. She finally sends out lombre and C-Run freezes him.

"You just got lucky, don't expect to win next time!" With that she rides on her bike.

"Is she always like that?"

"Yes Dakota, she is." After the short battle, we continue on route 119, battling more trainers, there was this one path we couldn't take because there was something invisible blocking out path. Oh well, anyways, after traveling a little bit longer, we finally reach Foretree city, I notice that a lot of the houses were built into the trees. We rest at the pokemon center, and after a little more training, we start making our way to the gym, but suddenly there is an invisible force blocking out path. "Why can't I get through?!" Just then my pokenav starts ringing, picking it up, I see its Steven from Dewford Island.

"Hey TM, I heard you had problems. Come down to route 120, I think I have something to help you with."

With that he hangs up, and seeing no other choice, me and Dakota make our way to route 120, but before going, I decide to give VB an experience share, so that she can at level up a bit. Along the way, I catch a male umbreon and name is Luna. Eventually we get to the bridge and I see the same silver haired guy from before. "Hey Steven, you said you had something to help me with my problem?"

"Yes I do, I have here a device that lets you see invisible objects, as so." He makes me put on this weird looking scope and I immediately see a chameleon like pokemon in front of me, which decides to attack me. Luckily I had Alistar with me and he beats the kekleon with overheat.

"Did you know that there was a pokemon there?!"

"What?! No, how could I possible know that the moment you put those scopes on, a pokemon would attack you?" I think he is overselling it on the sarcasm. "Anyways, the scope is yours, good luck." He then just releases a steel type bird, gets on it, and flies away.

"He seems nice, don't you think TM?"

"Yeah, he's loads of fun. At least we now have a way to get to the gym." After healing up at the pokemon center, we make our way to the gym, and when I came across the invisible object, I use the scope to see it's another Kecleon. It was about to attack, until it saw my entire team and thought it was a better idea to run away. Anyways, before entering the gym, me and my team huddle up. "Okay guys, rumor has it that this is a flying type gym, so sorry Skipper because most of your attacks are ground type, I can't use you. My best choices are Dash and C-Run, and just in case if things get a little hectic, Lavender will come with her shock wave. Now let's go get that badge!" We enter the gym, and for some reason there were pinwheels everywhere. I would like to meet the guy who does the modeling at this place, so that I can smack him for making it crazy! Anyways, after getting through the unnecessary obstacles, beating all the trainers, I finally make it to the gym leader, she was fairly tall, had air gear on her body, this might be a tough gym leader to beat.

"I'm impressed you made it this far, I am Winona the gym leader and I accept your challenge!"

She sends out swablu, I wanted to play it safe, so I send Alistar to start things off.

"Let's do this!" But before Al could attack, the pokemon starts singing a horrible tune.

"Al, hurry and beat that pokemon, it's using perish song!"

"Got it, do you prefer crispy, or burnt?" With that his body glows red and he releases a powerful flame attack. Overheat was more than enough, and it actually cooked the swablu. "I guess crispy it is." She sends out Pelipper and I counter with Lavender.

"All right, don't hold back!"

"Not a problem!" She releases a powerful shockwave that instantly KO's the pelipper. Is it me or is this battle starting to turn out easy.

"Wow you're good, but that's just the beginning!" She sends out a bird covered in steel, Skarmory, into the battle field. I believe it was Dash's time to shine.

"Finally, now it's my turn!" He lets out a thunderbolt that hits the skarmory straight on, and since the pokemon was steel type, it had no chance of dodging the attack.

"That's it, I'm through with playing nice! Time for my ultimate pokemon, Altaria!" She sends out this big bird pokemon, it looks like it was floating on a cloud. When I check my pokedex, I am slightly pleased to see that it was a flying and dragon type, and I know who was best for this pokemon.

"Well then let me introduce you to C-Run!"

"Now I will show you how an Italian beats her opponent."

The ice bird and the dragon bird take to the sky, flying at each other, trying to land the first attack. The altaria was struggling to keep up with C-Run, but she was doing fine. Just when the dragon bird thought she had the advantage, C-Run takes her by surprise by freezing her completely. We watch as the solid figure hits the ground, unmoving. You know, looking back, I think I over trained my pokemon just a bit.

"Alright, you won fair and square, here's the badge, now can you go while I defrost my pokemon."

"Sure." We make our way out of the gym and head back to the pokemon center to recuperate. I saw how much time Skipper and Lavender were spending time with VB, I was originally planning on putting her in storage, but I think I will wait till she at least evolves, that way she is able to take care of herself, but it is surprising how much she has grown, I guess she gets that from her mother. After setting up, we head back to route 120 to continue to the next city. After battling some trainers, and training my pokemon a bit, we head to route 121, where we run into some aqua grunts.

"Can you explain the plan one more time?"

"Rookie, look we are going to Mt. Pyre, it's simple, and I don't see why I need to explain this again. Now move out!" The aqua grunts head south, we were going to follow them, but seeing as how our pokemon our exhausted, we head to Lilycove city. Along the way, VB evolves, and I know it was time. We go to the pokemon storage, and I explain to Skipper and Lavender how I was planning on putting her in the pc storage with the other pokemon. At first they were reluctant but knew it had to be done. They said their goodbyes, and as I put VB in storage, I bring out Raphael the ivysaur. I had a feeling I would need him. Soon we left the city and make our way to Mt. Pyre. We use surf to cross the water to the mountain, and enter inside. I was not expecting to see this place as a cemetery for pokemon. Anyways, we head outside and start making our way to the top, along the way I caught a male ninetails and name him Kurama. As we are getting close to the top, it starts to fog up a bit, giving that unsettling mood. It also didn't help that Dakota still had his cold, we were running out of tissues. Up ahead I see some aqua grunts, me and Dakota take them down, and at the very top, and I see Archie, with a red orb in his hand.

"TM, team magma has already left, but we got what we wanted, bye!" With that he and all the aqua members leave. Kinda anticlimactic, if you think about it. We go to two elders and help them up.

"Are you okay?"

"Just a little shaken, but I'm more worried, now that the orbs are gone. Those orbs are connected to Groudon and Kyrogre." Wow, who knew something like this was connected to KingC. "Oh, in their haste, we found this." She hands me a magma emblem, I had no idea what to do with this, when I suddenly remember that weird magma grunt standing in front of the wall. We thank the elders, and make our way out of . Once we are outside, I notice a charizard and a venesuar behind me.

"Um…Dakota, when did you get a venasuar, and why is your charizard out."

"TM, I don't have a venasaur, and my charizard is still in my pokeball." Drawing my attention back to the two pokemon, I notice this charizard has a scar on his chest.

"Alistar?"

"Yeah, and this is Raphael, you were busy fighting grunts to notice that we evolved."

"Yeah mon, your head was up there in the clouds, I think it's time you came down."

"Cool, really got to pay attention to when you guys evolve. Hey, we are going back to Levaridge town, I think team magma's base might be there." With that we fly back to town, and head to mount chimney. After getting to where the grunt was, the wall suddenly starts to shake and the magma emblem is glowing. Suddenly a hole appears in the wall, and with that we enter the base. Man this place was huge, there were high tech gears all around, magma grunts, and lava. What were they doing here? After me and Dakota beat some grunts, we finally reach this big lava area, and in the center I see KingC! C-Run is immediately filled with joy as she flies to KingC.

"Ciao, mi manchi! How are you?" C-Run was flying around KingC, but he was just sitting in the lava doing nothing. He didn't even respond to C-Run. Something was different about him, and I was getting a bad feeling. Suddenly Maxie, the leader of team magma, walks forward.

"Groudon, for a long time, you have stayed here, waiting. Is this what you are waiting for?" He holds up the blue orb. "I return this to you and command that you lend me your power!" Suddenly KingC opens his eyes, but they were starting to glow blue. It then breaks from the area and leaves. "W-what?! Groudon! Where have you gone?!" Suddenly he notices me. "So it's your fault that groudon has left. You were the one who had caught him, you must have tampered with him!"

"His name is KingC, and maybe it's because he doesn't want to be controlled!"

"Enough, I will finish you off myself!" He sends out mightyena, crobat, and camerupt onto the field.

Skipper then steps up, "TM, I will take them on, it was KingC who let me on the team, so it's the least I can do to repay him." All three pokemon charge forward at Skipper, as he gets into ready position. When they are about to attack him, he pounds the ground and summons a huge wave, except this covered in dirt, grime, and mud. The muddy water attack sweeps all the attackers away. "Don't talk like KingC is an object!"

Maxie returns all his pokemon, "Whatever, I will chase that groudon, if it's the last thing I do! This is where we part!" With that he exits the cave.

"When did you learn muddy water?"

"Just now, I wanted to test its powers. But what about KingC?!"

"I don't know, maybe the blue orb had something to do with him leaving like that."

Dakota was thinking hard for awhile, "You don't suppose team aqua will try the same thing, do you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well the leader had the red orb, what if he tries the same thing with Kyrogre."

"If that's the case we better head to Lilycove, I think I saw an aqua grunt over there, and where there is one grunt, you tend to find the rest." We manage to get out of the base, and as I get on C-Run, I notice Dakota had something on his mind. "What's wrong, you not coming?"

"Something happened with my cuz, normally I would ignore it, but this is an emergency, so I have to go." He gets on his charizard, and prepares to leave. "Who knows, maybe we will see each other again."

"Wait!" I toss him a box of tissues "For your cold."

"Thanks, good luck out there!" He takes off on his charizard as I fly to Lilycove city.

After resting in the pokemon center, I go to get supplies at the store, but to my displeasure, I see May standing right in front of the door. Figures.

"Hey May. I need to buy supplies, so I was wandering if you can let me pass."

"Sure."

"Really?!" For a second, I thought she was about to challenge me to a battle.

"If you can beat me!" Ah, there it is. C-Run was still a little mad at Maxie for what he did to KingC, so I thought now would be a good time to battle.

"Alright C-Run, ready to take your anger out on her pokemon?"

"With pleasure!" She did not hold back, May's tropius, slugma, pelliper, and grovyle were frozen instantly the moment they faced C-Run. "And that is how we Italians do it!"

"…You know you only got here because of me. Bye!" She gets on here pokemon and flies away.

"Someone is a sore loser." I spend a good time getting all the supplies I need, on one floor, they were selling battle items and I notice a picture on the wall, saying "Number 1 customer." It was a picture of my dad. "Better break the bad news." I go to the receptionists and tell them that my father has officially stopped using battle items, they were distraught that they had lost their number one customer. Anyways, I leave the store and was about to go back to the pokemon center where my team was when suddenly an aqua grunt grabs my shoulder.

"Hey you, don't go near the cove! Whatever you do stay away from the cove, there is nothing crazy going on in their!" He then runs off.

After getting back to the pokemon center, I gather my pokemon, and explain to them where we are going next. The cove.

Pokemon Team:

Raphael: Male venusaur, relaxed, level 34, knows giga drain, sleep powder, leech seed, razor leaf, Jamaican.

Alistar: Male charizard, jolly, level 37, knows arial ace, dig, flamethrower, overheat, American.

Dash: Male electabuzz, hardy, level 38, knows thunderbolt, thunder punch, strength, light screen, American.

C-Run: Female articuno, mild, level 38, knows fly, powder snow, steel wing, façade, Italian.

Lavender: Female nidoqueen, relaxed, level 39, knows bite, double kick, shock wave, shadow ball, Russian.

Skipper: Male swampert, mild, level 42, knows take down, muddy water, mud shot, surf, French.

And that's where I'm going to stop it. Time for a quick recap, I notice shelly would be insulting you and complimenting you when you talked to her. So I guess she was crazy. As for Chris, he is The Perfect Replica, and the main character in "Pokemon Pearl: nuzlocke" Don't forget to check out the story if you get the chance. Now about the gym battle being easy, I trained my pokemon a lot for the gym, but then I ran into the kekleon that wouldn't let me pass. So I had to go farther along route 120, and at the same time, train my pokemon. So I kinda over trained them. Also, Luna the umbreon is the main character in TheGlaceonFanatic, check out her stories as well. So C-Run and KingC reunite, but it is short lived. And it's been three chapters since the difficult question, so Dakota had to leave, but don't worry, I have something special planned at the end of this story for all those who make a cameo appearance. I would've gone farther, but I saw I was already past 4000 words, so now's a good time to stop. Time for pokemon trivia!

Name five pokemon who can have the ability "intimidate".

Remember, I accept answer by pm, also announcement, I have an appointment at 1:00 PM and I don't know how long that will take. But I will still try my best to do a chapter. Good luck to all of you, and review if you want to. See ya.
