Chapter 9- A Historic Surprise

***The Next morning, 6am exact***

Selena moans as her alarm clock starts ringing, "Well i guess it time for a little early morning practice, what do you say Mawile," looking over at her mawile who is still passed out. Selena hops out of bed a quietly sneaks over to her sleeping partner and gave it a little poke in the face. Mawile slowly opened her eyes, stared at her trainer for a second and responded with a brutal fairy wind to Selena's face

"Owww, what did you do that for" with mawile giving a sarcastic shrug of the shoulders as it gets up of the ground

"Your lucky i have to do my hair any way" as she walks over to her desk and starts working on her appearance

***30 minutes later***

Selena suddenly stands up from her desk looking ready to go, "Alright mawile let's go do some practicing!". A changed mawile from thirty minutes ago responds with a excited cheer, "maw!"

The two then run down stair and out to the battlefield behind the pokemon center only to find Ben with his umbreon, charmander, and skiddo training for his upcoming gym battle

Ben looking away from his pokemon, "Oh hey Selena, why are you up so early?"

Selena baffled that Ben had woken up that early, "Oh well i was going to train for my upcoming contest, but i guess i'll wait till your."

Ben feeling bad quickly responds, "How about we just battle each other, it would help me practice the moves we've been working on and help you with the battle round!"

Selena looking a bit happier, "Sure, but i only have two pokemon"

Ben, "No need to worry umbreon should be fine. Its charmander and skiddo that need practice, this will be their first battle."

Selena, "Okay well then let's battle, go venonat"

Ben, "Go skiddo, lady's first"

Selena, "okay but you're going to regret that, venonat use double team and then psybeam"

Ben, "Skiddo use razor leaf in all directions" the razor leaf then countered venonat's psybeam and its double team faded away. "Now skiddo use sunny day and charge up a solar beam"

Selena, "Venonat ran at him and use bug bite"

As venonat got within a foot of skiddo, "Skiddo now" unleashing a huge beam of light on venonat and remaining amazingly unharmed.

Selena in disbelief, "Venonat return. How is skiddo unharmed?"

"You see Skiddo doesn't take damage from grass attacks instead he increases his defense. So i thought using a move as powerful as solar beam would be great."

Selena actually impressed, "wow i never thought you'd be able to come up with something as smart as that"

Ben, "you'll be surprised what i can do" as he retrieves Skiddo, "Go charmander"

Selena, "Go Mawile, use ice beam"

Ben, "quick use flamethrower charmander" the two moves then canceled out making a cloud of smoke

Selena, "Use attract mawile" and as the cloud of smoke faded Ben could see charmander had fallen in love with mawile, "Charmander snap out of it and use scratch" but charmander just stop there

Selena, "Okay let's end this, use crunch and keep i'm in her mouth." and as she did this charmander began to come back to sanity but was trapped in mawile's second mouth

Ben, "Charmander get out of there"

Selena, "Use hyper beam" and the match was soon over ending in a draw

The two friends ran over to each other and complemented each other on their strategies and moves, when Noah then came out, "Good battle you two, ready for breakfast?" Ben and Selena then looked over to the back door of the Pokemon center to find a crowd of trainers taking notes from their battle behind Noah

Ben, "Wow we must look good together, let's go eat breakfast i'm starving" running into the pokemon center while Selena stood there blushing.

Noah, "You coming Selena"

Selena coming back into reality, "Oh yeah sorry" walking into the center

***At Breakfast***

Noah, "So Ben how you feeling about your gym battle tonight?"

Ben, "Yeah i came up with some pretty awesome strategies, just ask Selena" as he continues devouring his meal as Selena just stares at him playing with her food

"Oh yeah, Ben is actually a lot smarter than i thought"

Ben, "You looked really good to Selena, you're going to do great in your debut" Selena suddenly blushes, "Oh thanks" which was followed by a few seconds of awkward silence

Noah, "well how about we head back to the historic shopping area for a little and then we can go to the museum"

Ben and Selena in unison, "Sounds good"

***Later in the historic district as the three head over to the museum"

Selena, "wow i didn't expect to get such great deals on my new bathing suits and outfits! I even got some cool accessories for my pokemon." but gets mad when Ben and Noah don't respond

Ben, "Hey look it's the gym, museum, thing" and starts bolting for it with umbreon right behind him

Noah, "well we should probably catch up with him" as he starts running with Selena following

As they get to the entrance they walk in and stare at all the cool old treasures. Ben suddenly realizes what he is there for and goes of to try and find the first employee he can while Noah and Selena keep looking at all the exhibits. After a few seconds of wandering Ben sees what appears to be a man in his 30's wearing a old revolutionary soldiers costume and taps him on the shoulder, "Excuse me sir?"

The man turns around slowly and in a very deep, uninterested voice, "What do you want kid?"

Ben, "I was just wondering when i can battle the gym leader and where he is?"

The man then become very angry and shouted, "You mean to tell me you just came here for the battle and aren't even going to view the beauty of the past!"

Ben, "I guess i was planning on doing that after i guess?" with his hand on his head

The man, "We'll I'll take you to the gym leader but only after you take a tour of the museum to see how cool history is"

Ben, "Uhh, fine but can my two friends join us"

The man looking much happier, "Sure the more the merrier!" Ben then went and got Selena and Noah who were very excited for the tour

***An hour later***

The Man leads the three to a battlefield at the top of the museum, Ben then lights up after being in a slight depression "Do i get to finally battle the gym leader!"

The man, "Yes you do"

Selena and Noah moaning, "Does that mean the tour is over?"

The man, "i'm afraid so, but now your friend gets to battle me!"

The three just stood there with there jaws dropped. Ben who broke from silence first, "Does that mean your"

Revere, "yes it does!"
