Hula guys, its me again. Our story have got a new chapter. Before that, lets see the main events of last chapter:

Main Events of Last Chapter

1. The Pokemon World Type Championship (PWTC) begins.

2. Aki starts his journey with Flame, a Charmander.

3. Aki gets his own Pokedex, a set Pokeballs and a Xtransceiver from Professor Juniper.

Now lets get back to this chapter. Last time we saw Aki getting the Pokdex from Prof. Juniper. I skipped a lot of events that happened after that. So, Aki and Flame are now in Kanto.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon (If I ever did, Ash would had won the Unova League)

Now, read on.

Chapter 2 - A New Friend and A New Enemy!

"So this is Kanto! Do you feel the fresh air, Flame?" Aki said taking a deep breathe as he stepped to the surface after a long journey in the plane. Flame imitated Aki by taking a deep breathe.

There they were, in Saffron City, Kanto. Aki had just received his own Pokedex from Prof. Juniper and had taken a flight from Mistralton City to Kanto. He took a good look at his surroundings.

"Wow, this city is BIG. But now that big as Castelia CIty" Aki said.

"C'mon Flame, lets go to the Pokemon Center" Aki ran towards a building with a big red P in front of it.

"Goodmorning Trainer, how can I help you?" Nurse Joy greated Aki with a warm smile.

Aki stared at Nurse Joy. He examined her from head to toe.

"Wait, you are not Nurse Joy. The Nurse Joys I have seen are much younger than you" He asked with a confused look.

"So you must be from Unova. The Nurse Joys there are our distant cousins" She explained.

"Oh..." He said.

Then, a pink Pokemon appeared behind Nurse Joy. It also had a hat like Nurse Joy. It had a egg in the pouch on its stomach.

"Who's that Pokemon?" Aki asked. He took out his Pokedex and scanned it.

"Chansey, the Egg Pokémon, and the evolved form of Happiny. Chansey is a kind Pokémon who shares its egg with those who are sick or injured" The Pokedex explained in a female voice.

"Chansey ha?" He said.

"Now, how can I help you?" Nurse Joy asked at the young boy in front of her.

"Could you tell me where the next Pokemon World Type tournament is going to be held?" Aki asked.

"So you came to enter the tournaments. Sorry, you came to the wrong place. The next tournament is going to be held in Vermillion City, just south from here" She explained checking the schedule in her hand.

"Do you know which type it is?" He asked with curiosity.

"Its Normal-type. I heard that 4 Gym Leaders will also be participating in the tournament" Nurse Joy said.

"Oh! Normal-type... Wait, Gym Leaders? That means Cheren will also take part in it" Aki said in joy.

"Cheren? How do you know him?" "I'm from Aspertia City. He's the Gym Leader there" Aki said.

"Anyways, you can go directly south from here and take Route 6 to reach Vermillion City" She said.

"Thanks Nurse Joy!" He said and bowed to her. He then quickly left the Pokemon Center and ran to the outside. Flame followed him quickly.

Route 6

Route 6 was a vertical path with bushes along the path. Aki ran through the path happily, with Flame on his shoulder.

"I'm gonna win the League... I'm gonna beat the rest... I'm gonna travel the roads... With Flame with me as my pal..." Aki sang while walking. Flame grinned at the last line. They kept walking and singing along the path.

"Deino, finish it with Dragon Rage" a voice yelled out. Aki and Flame stopped suddenly and turned towards the source of the voice.

"Flame, did you hear that?" Aki asked. Flame jumbed off from Aki's shoulders and tried to listen to the voice. Flame then ran to the west side, followed by Aki.

When they reached the source of the sound, they were surprised to see the sight. A man in purple cloths with black long hair. He had a Deino in front of him. They were facing a very weak Charmander. It had scratches and was barely able to stand. The Deino suddenly formed a red sphere of energy in its mouth and shot it at the Charmander.

"Flame, quick, counter it with Ember!" Aki said in a rush. Flame quickly stood infront of the Charmander and shot several fireballs from its mouth. The fireballs collapsed with the Dragon Rage and created a small blast.

"Who are you? What are you doing to this poor Charmander?" Aki asked in rage.

"I should be the one asking you these questions. Anyways, since you asked so sincerely, I'm Z. This is my partner Deino. We were just trying to capture this little Charmander here" Z said in a cool tune. A smirk appeared on his face.

"Z... Wait a minute, you said you were trying to capture this Charmander. Do you even know how to capture a Pokemon? You don't need to kill them to catch them, you just have to gain their trust and friendship" Aki said in one breathe.

"Bla-Bla-Bla... This is my way of catching Pokemon. Now, you get away and let me catch this Charmander" Z said.

"No, I will not let you hurt it anymore" Aki said taking the Charmander in his arms.

"Is that so... How about a little battle against my Deino? Your own Charmander looks quite strong" Z asked. His Deino let out a small roar to frighten his opponents.

"How about it Flame?"

"Char-Charmander" Flame quickly stepped in front of Deino and breathe fire into the sky.

"Before that, lets scan that Deino" Aki took out his Pokedex and held it in front of Deino.

"Deino, the Irate Pokemon. Lacking sight, it's unaware of its surroundings, so it bumps into things and eats anything that moves" the Pokedex explained.

"So you're blind ha?" Aki said.

"Who cares about blindness? As long as he is with me, he can see everything. Even you!" Z exclaimed. "Deino, use Dragon Rage"

"Flame, counter it with Ember" Aki said quickly.

This time, Deino's Dragon Rage was a bit stronger and larger than before. It went straight against Flame. Flame's Ember was no match against Deino's Dragon Rage. It shook of the fireballs and hit Flame with a lot of force, sending him against a tree.

"Oh no, Flame!" Aki cried out. Flame got up and grinned at his Trainer.

"We have to pay back, use Scratch!" Aki commanded. Flame ran towards Deino with his claws ready to tear Deino up.

"Deino, use Bite and throw him in the air" Z said in his cool tune.

Just as Flame was about to slash, Deino bit his arm and threw him in the air high.

"Finish it off with Dragon Rage, Deino!" Z said with a smirk.

Deino shot an even larger Dragon Rage sphere at the now mid-air Flame. The sphere hit Flame before he could do anything and he fell hard on the ground. Aki ran upto Flame and took him in his arms.

"Flame, are you OK?" Flame gave a weak smile at Aki.

"Ha, a weak Pokemon for a weak Trainer. To make your weak team even weaker, add that weak Charmander to it" Z said with a smirk. He then walked off, followed by his Deino.

"Don't worry Flame. We will defeat him one day" Aki gave Flame some comfort. Flame then grinned happily.

"First, we have to get to Vermillion City" Aki said as Flame climbed onto his shoulder. Aki then began to walk again. But he suddenly felt someone pulling his clothes from behind. He turned around to see that Charmander.

"What? Do you want to come along us?" Aki asked with a warm smile. Charmander nodded.

"Well, ok then" Aki took out a Pokeball from his bag and tapped it lightly on Charmander's head. It turned Charmander into a red light and enclosed him in the sphere. The sphere shook a few times before standing still.

"Yes! I just caught - a Charmander!" Aki exclaimed in joy. (reminds me of Ash)

"Our team is growing, Flame!" Aki grinned at Flame who returned it by breathing fire in to the sky.

With a new ally on their team, Aki and Flame are getting ready for their first tournament. They will catch more Pokemon and make lots of friends along their way to win all 18 tournaments.

So, thats it for the second chapter. I hope you all likes it. As you might have guessed, Z is going to be Aki's main rival in this story. More info about Z will be revealed in later chapters. For now, I will tell this - Z's name is spelled as "Zee", not as "Zed". For this chapter, here is Aki and Z's current team:

Aki's Team

Flame (Lv. 12) - Male - Ember, Scratch

Charmander (Lv. 10) - Male - Ember

Z's Team
