Hey, y'all. Welcome to chapter 3 of Kalos Adventure, which is going to feature Owen and Ariel finally meeting! If you saw the title for this chapter, then you (hopefully) know that Charizard and Blaziken will be duking it out. So with that out of the way, let's get going… after I respond to all of your reviews!

tepigsfire758: I'm glad you liked the battle! There will be a lot more between those two

Thewhatzupwriter26: No, but that's a really good guess

Pokebat1: Maybe it is Brooklyn, maybe it's not :P

Jaylon101: They won't be useless in this region, and thanks for the compliment!

: Haha, it's good to hear from you again. That's only scratching the surface of the crazy stuff that's going to happen later, so stay tuned!

NodokaLover: I'll try putting him in at some point, but I don't know if I'll be able to

Monfernofreak: Lol, he's really OP. And it's about damn time you caught up! And yeah, Ariel is a teen, but maybe it is possible :O Just kidding, it's not XD If you go back to chapter 23 in Unova, there's a hint about how old she is

midnightrebellion86: IDK why your review isn't showing up for chapter 1, but he will be in a relationship at some point later in the story

Owen's team

Froakie, (m), level 5, Pound, Leer, Bubble

Charizard, (m), level 65, Flamethrower, Dragon Claw, Seismic Toss, Blast Burn, ?*, ?*

"Thanks, Nurse Joy," Owen told the pink haired woman as he handed her Froakie's and Charizard's Pokeballs. After Frank and his Dragonite flew away, Owen had withdrawn Charizard and Froakie back into their Pokeballs and ran all the way back to Lumiose City. He sighed after walking out of the Pokemon Center and towards the practice battlefield out back. It was night time, but the bustling city didn't seem to notice. Owen sat down in an empty chair and ran his hands through his hair before taking a deep breath and leaning back.

"I've only been in Kalos for one day, and I nearly got Charizard and Froakie killed! Maybe I shouldn't compete in the league, especially after what that Frank guy said," Owen thought to himself. He recalled the threat Frank made on his life, and he shuddered. If that man and his Dragonite were able to beat Charizard that badly, it wouldn't matter what Pokemon Owen had with him.

"I don't know what I'm going to do."

"There he is, Blaziken. I want you to stay back and wait here, but I'll call if I need you," Ariel whispered to the fire and fighting type as she stood inside the Pokemon Center. The fully evolved Pokemon nodded at his trainer and stood still while Ariel walked outside.

"Hey, you!" she called to the teen sitting in a chair. After turning around, she saw an amber eyed boy look at her in confusion. Clearly, he didn't know who she was, because they had never met. "Where is he?" she interrogated, still walking towards the larger teen.

"What are you talking about?" the boy replied with a puzzled tone. "Who are you?"

"That doesn't matter. Tell me where he is! I know you two met!" Ariel shouted while pointing at the teen, who rose from his seat and stared down at her. He had to have been at least six inches taller than her, but Ariel wasn't intimidated in the slightest. "So you're not going to talk?" she asked while subtly motioning for Blaziken. The fire and fighting type shot out of the Pokemon Center and grabbed the teen by his neck before slamming him against the ground.

"Aaagh!" he shouted in pain while Blaziken's grip tightened "Let…me…go," the boy coughed out. Blaziken glared at him with his bright blue eyes, and he turned to look at his trainer. Ariel didn't seem amused by the interrogation that was going on, and she started to crack her knuckles.

"Just tell us where he is, and we'll let you go."

"Who are you talking about!?" the boy shouted, which made Blaziken push against his neck even harder. Ariel stared at the gasping teen and then at Blaziken. She knew that he had met the person she was searching for, but he sounded genuinely confused.

"A man with a Dragonite. Have you seen him?" she inquired, albeit aggressively. The teen's eyes opened wide once he heard the question, and he nodded. "Blaziken, let him go." Just as Blaziken began to release his grip on the teen, a winged Pokemon zipped through the air and slammed into the fire chicken. Blaziken expertly twisted in the air and landed on his feet before glaring at the Pokemon that had just attacked him. It was a Charizard, and the winged lizard was helping the blonde boy onto his feet. A Froakie was also resting on the Charizard's shoulder, and he was glaring at Blaziken.

"Charizard, relax," Owen told his starter. The fire type continued to glare at the strange Blaziken as it walked to Ariel's side, and Froakie hopped off Charizard's shoulder to check on Owen. "We met him earlier today, but he beat us," Owen informed the unnamed girl.

"Where did he go?" she interrogated. Owen noticed the angered look on her face and saw that the Blaziken standing next to her looked ready to attack at any second. Charizard did, too, and he began growling at the Hoenn starter.

"I don't know, he just rode away on his Dragonite." After he answered the question, Froakie hopped onto Owen's head and stared at the girl and her Blaziken. He noticed Ariel's wavy brown hair and amber eyes along with her fairly tanned skin, and she also had a strange bracelet on her wrist. Blaziken had a similar black sleeve on his right forearm, and there was a red and blue stone in it. Neither seemed satisfied with the answer Owen had given, and the water frog didn't feel good about what was going to happen.

"You're lying. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to beat the answer out of you. Blaziken, use Blaze Kick on him!" Ariel commanded while pointing at Owen. The bipedal chicken sprinted forward while his foot was covered in fire, and he jumped into the air.

"Charizard, use Dragon Claw!" Owen countered. Charizard shot off the ground and flew towards Blaziken while his claws began to glow blue. The two fire types swung at each other, and the attacks collided. BOOOOM! An explosion occurred and smoke rose from the battlefield. Ariel and her Blaziken continued to stare at Owen, but Charizard stepped in front of his trainer before roaring powerfully. Froakie then hopped onto Charizard's back and locked eyes with Blaziken.

"Fro! Froakie-Fro!" the water type shouted at his foe. Blaziken looked back at Ariel, who nodded, and he turned back to face his two opponents. Suddenly, Blaziken's wrists emitted a powerful ring of fire, and he charged towards Charizard.

"Use Sky Uppercut and knock Froakie off Charizard's back!"

"Charizard, dodge and use Flamethrower! Froakie, hit Blaziken with Bubble!" Blaziken's fist suddenly turned a mixture of blue and white, and he prepared to hit Charizard in the chin. The fire and flying type, however, took to the air and unleashed an intense burst of fire that struck Blaziken. Froakie then jumped up and shot a flurry of bubbles towards Blaziken, but the attack did little damage despite being super effective.

"Spike Charizard into the ground with Blaze Kick!" In the blink of an eye, Blaziken jumped above Charizard, and he slammed his fiery foot over the lizard's head. Charizard was slammed into the ground shortly after, but he got back up quickly. Froakie, meanwhile, hopped off Charizard's back and began charging towards Blaziken.

"Froakie, no!" Owen shouted to the inexperienced Pokemon. Froakie jumped forward while his hand started glowing white, and he wound his arm back to punch Blaziken. The fire type, however, grabbed Froakie with his right hand before throwing him back to Owen, who caught the water type.

"This battle is between me and him. Leave your Froakie out of this," Blaziken told Owen, who jumped back in shock after hearing the Pokemon talk. He didn't say anything about it, though, because he was too focused on the battle.

"That's fine with us! Charizard, end this with Dragon Claw!" Owen commanded. Charizard nodded before launching himself at Blaziken. The fire and fighting type was far too quick to be hit, and he began to dodge each and every swipe Charizard attempted. Ariel began laughing at Charizard's futile attempts, but Owen capitalized on their lack of attention. "Knock Blaziken down with your tail and then use Seismic Toss!" Charizard quickly whipped his tail around, and it swiped Blaziken's legs out from underneath his body. Then, Charizard picked his opponent off the ground, and he took to the sky.

"Raaawr!" Charizard boomed as he began to fly in a circle before descending like a rocket. Then, he and Blaziken crashed into the ground, causing a cloud of dust to shoot up. Charizard quickly got off the ground and he flew over to Owen with a grin on his face, while Ariel stared at her injured Blaziken. The fighting type still looked like he could battle at an incredibly high level, but the girl decided against fighting.

"Blaziken, stop. We can't keep wasting our time here." Blaziken turned to his trainer with a disappointed look on his face, but he nodded and walked over to Ariel's side.

"The next time we battle, Charizard, I won't hold back. Let's go, Ariel," Blaziken stated before walking off the battlefield. Ariel nodded and followed after her Pokemon, but she shot a quick glance at Owen with her amber eyes. To say she was disappointed with the short encounter was an understatement, but she'd keep a close eye on the fifteen year old.

"Owen," she called. The teen looked at Ariel, confused about how she knew his name. "Don't battle Frank again." With that, she walked out of sight, leaving Owen in confusion.

"Her name was Ariel, right?" he asked his two Pokemon. Both of them nodded, but her name didn't ring any bells. "Whatever. Let's head for Santalune tomorrow, so then we can get our first badge!"

So Owen and Ariel didn't get off to the greatest start. Oh who am I kidding, it was terrible! Charizard and Blaziken also fought for a bit, but Blaziken didn't Mega Evolve for some unknown reason. Now that Owen will be arriving in Santalune City next chapter, he will meet one of his rivals, catch a new Pokemon or two, and meet a new traveling companion! Till next time, peace out.

1) Would you have preferred seeing Ariel use Mega Evolution? Or are you fine with her holding back against Owen?

2) What two Pokemon do you think Owen will catch in Santalune?

Next Chapter: Stop Bugging Me: After arriving in a destroyed Santalune City, Owen is tasked with rescuing all of the injured Pokemon in the area. While doing so, Owen receives assistance from an unlikely source. Who is this person/thing? And why is he/she/it helping Owen?
