We made it to the city, which we don't know the name to because we can't read the signs... stupid trainer language. All is going good.. for now.

"Woah!" Skitty gasped, admiring the tall buildings gazing down upon them. "These buildings are taller than the trees? Unbelievable!"

Cyndaquil was at a loss of words, as he wasn't used to anything taller than a house. "You've got that right..." He replied to Skitty, keeping his gaze on the towering buildings. He was so distracted, he didn't even feel something that landed atop of his head. Before long, he heard Skitty snickering and turned to face her. "What's so funny?" He asked. Skyscrapers weren't that funny to him.

"There's a Pokemon on your head!" She laughed, pointing her fluffy, pink tail towards the bird-like Pokemon resting atop of his head. It bounced off and landed in front of the two travelers.

"Whatcha doooin?" She asked, tilting her head to the side.

Skitty tilted her head as well, matching it with Swablu's "Doin stuuufff..." She mocked. "As in stalking down some good guys and stuff."

Swablu sat up right in surprise. "Good guys?" She echoed. "Don't you mean bad guys?"

"What?"

"Team Magma and Aqua, right?"

"What?"

Cyndaquil and Skitty were shocked that she guessed the teams they were after. "Are you psychic or something..?" Cyndaquil asked in confusion.

Swablu laughed. "Pfffft, of course not!" She said. "They've passed this town, I think... I just saw them."

"But what do you mean by bad guys?" Cyndaquil asked. "I thought they were good..."

"What? HOW?" Swablu shrieked in surprise. "They were fighting over the land and sea years back, and nearly DROWNED US ALL. That's good to you guys?"

Skitty tilted her head to the side. "So that's the REAL story?" She asked. "I had it all wrong then... Okay change of plans! We're ATTACKING now! ATTACKING! Got it?"

"Okay..." Cyndaquil sighed, not wanting to fight.

He peered behind Swablu and saw some shady figures hanging around the town. "I think your right earlier, Swablu..." He whispered as if his voice could go any louder. "I think I see them..." He felt chills go up his spine.

"You're right..." Skitty whispered back, doing the same thing as her fire-type companion.

"What did I tell ya?" Swablu whispered as well. Suddenly, both her and Skitty dashed forward, screaming at the top of their lungs, towards the dark figures near the edge of the town. Cyndaquil watched in shock as they raced on, too scared to even go one step closer towards them.

"Y-you're insane..." He muttered, pushing himself on. Skitty lunged at one of the shady people and bit down with her teeth on his arm. Swablu pecked at the other with all of her force. Cyndaquil watched and listened to all of their ear-piercing OW's and STOP's, hoping they had it under control. But he was surprised when he felt his back getting crushed under the foot of one of the team Magma members. Quickly without thinking, he flared up his back with intense flames. The Team Magma member jumped back from the heat, leaving Cyndaquil feeling somewhat proud of himself. Skitty jumped free from the Team Aqua members grasp and Swablu fluttered over to them. Cyndaquil thought they couldn't win, so he dashed away without giving any thought, causing Skitty and Swablu to follow him. He caught his breath when he hit tall grass, and the others caught up with him.

"What was that about?" Skitty questioned in an angry tone. "We could've handled them! Didja see me pound his face?"

"I hardly did any damage..." Swablu claimed. "But maybe we could've fought them for a little while longer."

"Well..." Cyndaquil sighed, not sure how to respond. "I figured we couldn't win against them, I mean... they're HUMAN!"

Swablu fluttered above, looked over at the city, but then settled back on land. "LET ME AT EM!" Skitty hollered, looking the way towards the city. "I'm ready for round 2!"

"Well, you kinda can't.." Swablu said. "We ran them out of town. Besides, we can't have one of us have serious injury."

"See?" Cyndaquil agreed. "I don't like seeing my friends get hurt, and... yeah..." Skitty sighed, which was her way of agreeing to an argument that she didn't want to agree to, but she soon stopped her mood with a question.

"Wait a sec..." She started. "Did you say 'one of us'?"

"I did?" Swablu asked herself. "Oh well. Can I stay with you guys?"

Cyndaquil looked at Skitty with an i'm-not-so-sure look, but Skitty quickly replied with "Yeah sure whatever. You fight good, that's the only reason why I'M letting you."

And so, with Swablu on their team, they all carried on with their journey.
