Need EVERYONE to review on this one! Where do you think Piper and Logan should decide to travel together? I want them to travel together but really have no idea how I should do it or how far along in the story. I also wanted to know what you guys think about the pokemon egg hatching when and where, and before or after her and Logan start traveling together? So please review. =^_^=

Bigger note this is mostly just of Piper training her pokemon not much in it at all, so you may not like it much. Sorry if this is boring!

Chapter 4

A day of training

Piper set up camp about a day's walk away from Pewter City, but it would most likely take longer than that after training. All of her pokemon were great and really strong but she didn't know much about the new gym leader, who was Brock's new step mom. She had heard that she used water pokemon but she wasn't sure that it was true, because she knew Misty was back at the gym and she had some strong water pokemon on her end. Was it possible for there to be two water type gym leaders?

She couldn't think about that now; all she could do was train as hard as she could, and she would be fine.

Just a quick recap on her pokemon: Starter Eevee, Pidgeotto, Pikachu, and she has a pokemon egg.

She had her tent set up; it was big enough for two people to sleep in, and after collecting water from the river near by started a fire. Her mom had though to pack her some instant roman, enough to last a month at least; thank you mom.

After the food was done and she had all of her Pokémon's plates set up she throw her poke'balls into the air. "Come on out everybody, it's time for supper."

"Pidgy." Pidgeotto was very happy and started eating.

"Pika." Pikachu on the other hand looked down at its plate than turned away and ran up a nearby tree.

"Wii." Eevee ran to the tree and tried talking to Pikachu but it glared down at Eevee and sent a static bolt at her. "Ee!" Eevee was mad now, and it seemed like that was just want Pikachu wanted because for the first time since she caught Pikachu he smiled, not a happy one ether it was more like a very savage one.

"No! Eevee just eat your supper and Pikachu stop trying to pick a fight." Pikachu turned away from her but somehow she knew that he was done causing trouble . . . for the moment at least. "Good now Eevee tomorrow I want to try to teach you dig attack and after we master that Pikachu we need to train, I may use you in the gym if they use rock type pokemon."

"Chu." Pikachu glared and scowled at her than went back to ignore her.

Piper sighed and opened her poke'dex and looked up Pikachu. 'Pikachu the electric mouse pokemon; it raises its tail to check its surroundings. The tail is sometimes struck by lightning in this pose.

"Ok, but why is my Pikachu always so mad?"

Pikachu are shaped by their environment and the group that they live in. It is not unheard of for there to be wild Pikachu that prefer not to live in groups and there is the rare chance that they get cast out of their family. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Pikachu's ear twitch at that last part.

'So that's it.'

"Alright so what are this Pikachu's attacks?"

'Pikachu at Lv. 13 knows thundershock, tail whip, thunder wave, and quick attack.

"Wow that's a high level for Pikachu around here. Let's see I think if we can raises his level to Lv. 18 and he learns double team than he could put up a good fight at the gym." Piper was talking to herself.

"Pidgy?" Pidgeotto looked sad.

"I'm sorry Pidgeotto I would love to use you and really; I don't like the thought of using Pikachu ether but if it turns out that they use rock pokemon than Eevee is the only one that doesn't have a disadvantage."

"Pid! Pidgy!" Pidgeotto nodded in understanding and went back to eating happily. (If you haven't noticed I have to clue how to right out the sounds that bird pokemon make.)

After that the night went by quietly and they were all fast asleep; Pikachu in the tree, which he refused to come out off, while Eevee, Pidgeotto, and the mysteries pokemon egg were fast asleep in the tint. Piper on the other hand stayed up a little later than usual and tried to think of how she could win Pikachu over.

The next morning was much like that night, except even Pikachu was eating this morning; he had found a berry tree not too far away. He refused to eat anything that she fixed. (I will most likely skip the night and more time ritual unless anyone wanted to read that than I'll be happy to put it in, or unless I think of something good)

'Must be because he was on his own for so long.' She thought sadly.

After everything was cleaned and packed up it was time for training. If Eevee could learn dig than they would have a very good chance at the gym.

"Alright Eevee we've got to do some series training today if you're going to learn dig."

"Ee!" Eevee stud up tall looking pumped.

"That a girl Eevee! Let's get started!"

It didn't take as long as expected Eevee was a very fast learner and even though Piper was new to teaching pokemon new moves she thought it turned out just fine. By nightfall that night the only thing they had left to work on was direction; Eevee had only come out at the right stop once, but in her book once was better than nothing. So tomorrow would be much like today and train, train, train; she planned on finding a trainer to try it out on as soon as it was mastered. (Not going to go through all of it.)

The next day

"Come on Eevee one more time, I know you can do it." It was just after noon, they just got done eating lunch and were back to training. Eevee was making good progress but Piper was making her try finding her target if it was moving, using herself as the target.

"Eevee." Eevee brood under the ground and Piper slowly jogged away, this would help Eevee become fast underground to if she had to chase her opponent. A half a minute later Eevee popped out of the ground at her feet.

"Good job Eevee I think you're really to use that move in are next trainer battle. " She turned to Pikachu. "Pikachu this means that we can start our training" He didn't even both looking her way.

It wasn't like Pikachu was just sitting around doing nothing; he had been training since he had woke up this morning. He took brakes to eat but that was about it; he had agreed to train with Pidgeotto a little before lunch, and she took that as a giant step to becoming friends.

"Ok I think that it would be a good idea to try to find some wild pokemon to battle against; so Pidgeotto, Pikachu return." Pikachu didn't look to happy but he went inside non-the-less, but then when did he ever look happy? She shook her head and turned to Eevee. "Let's go Eevee."

It didn't take them long to find a wild pokemon that wasn't a Metapod or a Kakuna. A Butterfree was in a big patch of flowers not that far off from where they had been training. As soon as she got the Butterfree's attention she throw Pikachu's poke'ball, she would have liked to catch Butterfree but that wasn't going to happen today.

"Ev?" Eevee looked confused at not being the one to battle.

"Sorry Eevee but I want to train Pikachu at the moment, we'll battle before we get to Pewter ok."

"Wii." Eevee nodded than set down on the sidelines to watch.

Pikachu looked ready to battle. "Ok Pikachu start out with your thunder wave attack."

"Pika." Surprisingly Pikachu listened to her and paralyzed the Butterfree.

"Great job now go for a thundershock!"

"Pi-Ka-Chu!" It was a good thing to paralyze Butterfree first because it couldn't dodge very well. It tried a tackle attack.

"Dodge it and finish it with quick attack!" Pikachu was already moving around Butterfree to hit it from behind, taking it down in that one last hit.

"Wow Pikachu that was great, it didn't hit you once!" She ran over to Pikachu and hugged it to her without thinking about if Pikachu would appreciate it or not. Pikachu stiffened and when she pulled him back he looked shocked and confused but quickly composed himself and looked away. "I have an idea Pikachu, since this is your main day of training and it seems silly to be putting you in your poke'ball and having to let you out, why don't you stay out. For today that is."

Pikachu looked even more shocked but nodded his head.

After that it seemed like Pikachu loosened up a bit, he set on her shoulder and did everything she said in battle, and by the end of the day he learned double team. But it still seemed like Pikachu was still holding himself back, not wanting to trust her but having to fight not to at the same time.

Last day in Viridian Forest

Piper spent the morning trying to find another pokemon trainer to battle before leaving the forest, and she was lucky enough to find one just outside Pewter City.

"Hey I'm Piper from Pallet Town, do you want to have a battle?"

"Sure I'm Tommy from Viridian City, how does a two on two battle sound?"

"Sounds good to me."

"Go Beedrill!"

"Go Pikachu!"

"Beedrill twineedle attack!"

"Pikachu dodge and use thunder wave!" Pikachu was hit by the first twineedle but dodged the second and shocked it with its thunder wave.

"No Beedrill! That won't stop us, use Rage."

"Pikachu double team and stop his rage cold!" which it did "Good job now quick attack." Pikachu moved under Beedrill and slammed into it's stomach sending it flying.

"Don't let it get away with that Beedrill fury attack!"

"Pika!" Pikachu got hit with three out of the five hits from Beedrill's fury attack.

"No Pikachu!" 'Pikachu can't take much more of this, this has to end now.' "One more quick attack at this Pikachu and use it at full power!"

"Pikachu!" You could never say that her Pikachu wasn't a fighter because he pulled though and sped full speed at Beedrill and slammed into it sending it to the ground where it didn't get back up.

"Way to go Pikachu!" This time when Piper picked up Pikachu he only stiffened for a second before relaxing.

"This isn't over yet. Go, Metapod!" The green cocoon pokemon looked like it was staring off into space with not a thought in its head.

"Ok, Pikachu return and go Eevee."

"Vee." Eevee had been itching for a fight ever since she had mastered dig.

"Then that's what we're going to do first, dig Eevee."

"What! A dig attack?"

"Yep." She couldn't stop herself from smiling.

"This battle still isn't over. Harden Metapod!"

"Hit it now Eevee!" Eevee popped out of the ground and sent Metapod into its trainers arms knocked out. "Well that wasn't a very long battle." She sweat dropped before smiling at Eevee. "Good job Eevee."

"Yeah that's some Eevee you got there, very strong."

"Thanks, your Beedrill was very strong to."

"Thanks, I'll be seeing you." He waved as he walked away.

"Bye." She waved back at him. As soon as he was gone she let Pikachu and Pidgeotto out of their poke'balls.

"Ok you guys were about an hour away Pewter City and our first gym badge, and I just want you to do your best." Eevee and Pidgeotto cheered wall Pikachu once more looked confused; it was becoming a constant look for Pikachu, and it was a very cute look for him. "Return guys. Ok now the first stop will be the pokemon center and then I need to stop and the market and get some things before we go to the gym."

"Ve. Wii." Eevee jumped on to her shoulder and they made their way out of Viridian forest and into Pewter City.

Ok so not one of my best chapters but I thought that I would try to writing about some of the training going on. Please let me know what you think.
