Well, it's the tenth chapter of Kalos Adventure, and the ending of the Santalune City arc. I really enjoyed writing this portion of the story, and I'm hoping the rest of the story is just as easy to write. So, last chapter feature Owen winning his first gm badge and Metapod evolving. This chapter will be a crossover with Monfernofreak's 'Pokemon XY: Kalos!', and will feature his main character, Tyler, who's quite the interesting guy (that means go check out the story). Another crossover with a different author is also coming up, but I won't tell y'all when it is. Now, let's get this chapter going!

P.S: Also, thanks to Devon2016 for the submission of Larenz :)

Spear2: An RPG styled Pokemon game would be a dream come true! And you might just get your wish very soon ;)

Pokebat: That is correct! I'm looking forward to introducing Maria, but that's going to take a couple months (probably)

catptaincold: Thanks for the compliment! And I don't think it looks awful, more flawed. It seems like you can just spam one combo and destroy, but I'll still give it a shot if it comes out for the Wii U, at least once I get one

NodokaLover: Well, three of them are right, but Owen won't catch a Gulpin, nor will anyone else, and I've told you several times via PM that Jim isn't going to be in the story. Most of the predictions do make sense i.e: the egg, but that won't happen either, though it was a great guess!

"Hey, Froakie, you did a great job during the gym battle yesterday," Owen informed the tiny blue frog by his side. Froakie pouted, remembering that he had fainted in the opening battle, but he saw his trainer's sincere smile.

"Kie," Froakie replied before hopping on his trainer's side. Normally, he would've jumped on Charizard's back, but the winged lizard was helping Viola patrol Santalune Forest.

"Froakie, use Bubble!" a voice called out. Owen and Froakie turned to see a boy around the age of thirteen training with his Froakie, and there were also two other Pokemon, which were a Fletchling and Chespin. The Froakie looked directly at the Fletchling standing in front of him, and he began to focus. As soon as he used the Bubble attack, he flinched and the high speed bubbles struck Owen and his Froakie.

"Ahh!" Owen screamed as the powerful attack pelted him repeatedly. The training teen and his Pokemon ran over to Owen worriedly before speaking up.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry," the boy told Owen before bowing sorrily.

"Woah, that's some crazy Bubble," Owen replied while trying to shake off the attack. "But powerful!" The younger boy laughed at Owen's energy while looking down at his Froakie before smiling. He had scruffy dirtily blonde hair and green eyes along with tan skin. He also wore a green top with a white shirt over it, which was left open in the front, and normal blue jeans. The teen was about average height for his age, but had a very young face.

"Froakie is sort of just getting back into battling and is trying to get his confidence up, but we're kind of struggling," the teen admitted. Seeing the sheepish look on the timid Froakie's face, Owen looked down at his Froakie with a smile, and the blue frog returned the grin.

"Hey, my Froakie is pretty good at using Bubble. Would you like us to help teach you?" Owen offered, causing the teen and his Froakie to smile.

"Oh yeah, by the way, my name's Tyler," the younger trainer informed Owen formally.

"Owen Plateau's my name," Owen replied with a smirk, which made the younger boy gasp in shock, which startled the two Froakie, Chespin, and Fletchling.

"Wow, I've seen you in all of your leagues! You've done really well for yourself; and Top 2 in the Sinnoh League? You deserved to win over that Taylor kid. He treated his Pokemon terribly, and that's not how they should be raised! They should be raised kind heatedly and with care and respect," Tyler shouted to himself before staring at Owen, who hung his head at the mentioning of his appearance in the Sinnoh League.

"No need to get down about it!" Owen told himself energetically, snapping out of the dark state that would swoop over him in regards to Sinnoh. "Froakie, let's show 'em your Bubble!" Owen commanded. Froakie nodded and sprung into the air quickly before firing a compact cloud of bubbles from his mouth. The water type attack struck a distant tree, which grabbed the attention of Tyler's Froakie. "Not too shabby, eh?" Owen quizzed rhetorically after seeing the wowed expressions on Tyler's and Froakie's faces.

"That was great! Froakie, start following Owen's Froakie's instructions and use Bubble!" Tyler told his Froakie. The much more reserved Froakie looked at Owen's intently while the stronger Pokemon thoroughly explained each step used in the Bubble attack. After nodding his head excitedly, Tyler's Froakie jumped into the air, but when he released his Bubble it was incredibly wild and spread out.

"That's beautiful," Owen remarked while seeing the dancing bubbles float across the air as the quiet Pokemon landed. "It'd be a good contest move, but it's not great for battling," Owen added before laughing lightly. He quickly glanced down at Tyler's Froakie and knew that the water type's skills were incredibly raw, but with enough work Froakie would certainly turn into an incredible Pokemon. Though his Froakie was much more skilled, it seemed like the two Pokemon had similar potential, which intrigued the fifteen year old.

After several hours of failed training, Owen and Tyler sat by the side of the battlefield and at an empty table while their Pokemon ran/flew around. Tyler's Froakie, however, stayed away from the other Pokemon and sat by himself in sorrow.

"So why are you in Kalos?" Tyler quizzed after sighing at Froakie.

"New region, new league, new challenge," Owen answered quickly, not wanting to discuss the situation with his step-parents. "What about you? I assume you're just starting out on your journey?"

"Yeah I was born in Santalune City but move to Lumiose. I started out a couple weeks ago with Chespin, and quickly caught Fletchling," Tyler explained while pointing at his two Pokemon that were playing with Butterfree and Froakie. Pikachu, on the other hand, was sitting against a tree by himself while Charizard was still helping Viola monitor Santalune Forest.

"And Froakie?" Owen looked at Tyler, knowing that the unconfident Pokemon had some sort of history.

"I caught him two days ago. Well, less caught him and more found him. I was out here training after my loss at the Santalune Gym and heard a trainer yelling so I followed the voice back, and I saw he was yelling at this Froakie. He basically called him useless, pathetic, and then abandoned him on the spot. He dropped the pokeball and I felt so sorry for the Pokemon, he was crying and all, so I picked up his pokeball and I've been trying to raise his confidence and his ability to battle ever since…"

"Abandoned Pokemon, they're tough to work with. But what's worse is the trainer that actually abandoned them!" Owen roared with anger in his eyes, remembering Wartortle. The two trainers sat silently for a while before Owen piped up. "C'mon, it's getting late. Let's go back to the Pokemon Center."

000

"Tyler!" Owen shouted as he ran towards Tyler, who was sitting inside the Pokemon Center eating breakfast. Tyler turned to see Owen with a wide smile, which threw off the younger teen. "Let's have a battle!" Owen exclaimed while throwing his arms in the air, causing Tyler to spit out the food in his mouth.

"What?" Tyler asked in confusion.

"C'mon, I was thinking about it last night and maybe that bit of pressure is what Froakie needs!" Though he was unsure of Owen's intentions, Tyler decided to trust him due to his experience. After finishing his breakfast, Tyler followed Owen outside and they decided to have a three versus three battle, which Charizard wasn't participating in because Owen felt it was incredibly unfair.

The two Pokemon to appear in front of the trainers were Froakie and Chespin, who were both Owen's and Tyler's respective starters. Owen's eyes suddenly narrowed when he saw the Chespin standing across the battlefield and realized it was the same Pokemon from Sycamore's lab. He decided against saying anything because he wanted to help Tyler train, and the battle began.

"Chespin, use Leech Seed!" Tyler commanded tactically, clearly thinking ahead.

"Froakie, use Quick Attack to dodge and then strike Chespin with it!" Owen countered while throwing his left arm to his side. Froakie zipped forward and avoided the barrage of seeds appearing from all around Chespin while a white streak of light appeared behind him. He then changed trajectory and sped straight towards Chespin, who looked as calm as could be.

"Use Vine Whip to stop it!" Tyler shouted quickly.

"Pin!" Two vines appeared from Chespin's back and he speedily struck Froakie, stopping the Quick Attack before he was sent flying back. Froakie slid against the ground while recovering from the super effective attack, but Tyler didn't let up. "Leech Seed one more time!" Chespin started spinning and unleashed dozens of seeds that hit Froakie, and small vines out of the seeds and wrapped around Froakie. Suddenly, a flash of red light appeared around Froakie and began zapping away his energy.

"Froakie, get out of those vines!" Owen told Froakie. The small frog Pokemon pulled on the vines angrily, but he failed to rip them apart, causing Owen to bite his bottom lip worriedly. "Just ignore them! Bubble!" Froakie turned his attention to Chespin and fired glistening bubbles at the grass starter. For some reason, Tyler didn't issue a counter command, resulting in Chespin being pelted before falling over.

"Chespin, get back up and use Tackle!" Chespin rose back to his feet with a proud look on his face, and then he charged straight towards Froakie.

"Use Quick Attack to counter!" Froakie sped straight towards Chespin and they collided, matching in power. The two Pokemon battled back and forth, but Owen realized that he had fallen into Tyler's trap once the younger trainer grinned stupidly.

"Now that you're in close wrap up Froakie with Vine Whip!"

"Froakie, use Pound to swat him away!" Owen called in desperation, but he wasn't quick enough. Chespin wrapped Froakie in yet another layer of vines, which dealt even more damage. Tyler smiled proudly after seeing he had drawn a puzzled look on Owen's face, but the fifteen year old knew just how to escape the tough situation.

"Now, finish this with-"

"Froakie, use Lick!" Owen exclaimed. Tyler jumped up in shock as he was clearly caught by surprise.

"Fro!" Froakie croaked before he opened his mouth wide and started to lick Chespin, causing the brown Pokemon's vines to retract.

"Ahh, Chespin…?" Tyler asked his starter quietly. Chespin's vines soon disappeared, and he was left standing still, giving Owen and Froakie the perfect chance to deal massive damage.

"Now use Pound!" Froakie's fist turned white as he unleashed a ferocious Pound on Chespin, which sent the grass starter soaring into the air.

"Chespin, use Rollout!" Tyler countered. Chespin was frozen for a second, but his determination to win the battle for Tyler prevailed. Much to Owen's dismay, Chespin curled up and began spinning rapidly before hitting the ground and steamrolling Froakie.

"No!" Owen cried as the two Pokemon collided. The dust cleared and Froakie was laying down on the ground, but he wasn't out. Owen and Tyler both stared down at the Pokemon as his arms began shaking violently as he tried pushing himself back up. "C'mon, Froakie… You've pulled through for me before, pull through again…" Froakie got up, and Owen flashed a wide smile at his Pokemon's will, but the positive attitude soon vanished. Just as he was about to call an attack, a flash of red light appeared around Froakie, causing him to cry out in pain before falling to the ground, unable to battle.

Owen stared down at Froakie in shock, but took out the water type's Pokeball and withdrew him. "You fought bravely, Froakie…" Owen muttered as he clipped Froakie's Pokeball onto his belt. He then looked directly at Tyler as a burning fire flashed in his eyes, and Owen took out his second Pokeball. "Butterfree, let's show 'em how it's done!" The second Pokeball exploded open and Butterfree flew out gracefully before staring down at Chespin, who was at a clear disadvantage.

"Chespin, Leech Seed!" Tyler called. Owen realized the repetitive way to start the battle, and he had a counterattack ready in a matter of nanoseconds.

"Gust!" As Chespin fired out his seeds Butterfree began whipping her wings forward, creating a powerful wind. Tyler clearly wasn't expecting such power from Butterfree, as evidenced by his inability to counter the reflected Leech Seed, which hit Chespin and wrapped around his body. Even though he wasn't going to be hurt by the attack, Chespin was aware of his decreased speed, which would certainly play a large role in his match vs Butterfree.

"Chespin, use Rollout to get rid of those vines!" Tyler commanded. Chespin began to roll in place, but was suddenly immobilized by the paralysis from Froakie's Lick, which was surprisingly useful.

"Now, Butterfree, use Confusion!" Owen shouted. Butterfree's eyes flashed blue for a split second, and she fired a blue beam of energy towards Chespin. The grass type Pokemon was struck by the powerful psychic type attack, but Chespin remained standing weakly.

"Chespin, return!" Tyler called while withdrawing Chespin back to his Pokeball. "You fought hard!" The thirteen year old looked straight down and closed his eyes, thinking of his next move. "Air battle! Fletchling, let's go!" The rookie trainer roared as he looked up and threw his second Pokeball. Fletchling emerged in a shimmering light and looked ready to battle, and so did Butterfree. "Aerial Ace!"

"Ling!" Fletchling chirped as she surged towards Butterfree at mach speed while strands of white light flew off her beak.

"Confusion!" Butterfree's eyes performed the same way they did before, and she tried hitting Fletchling mid-flight. Fletchling instantly stopped flying towards Butterfree and descended in order to dodge the attack, making her a sitting duck. "Now Butterfree, use Poison Power!" Owen grinned as Butterfree started to flap her wings, sending out a toxic dust towards Fletchling.

"Use Quick Attack to get away!" Tyler yelled as the Poison Powder was about to engulf Fletchling. Fletchling gracefully zipped away, avoiding the Poison Powder while causing Butterfree to frown in disappointment. Tyler smiled as Owen clenched his teeth, noticing that the older trainer was beginning to lose his composure. "Now come back around with that Quick Attack and hit Butterfree!" SLAM! In literal seconds Fletchling had hit Butterfree and she was sent flying back through the air towards Owen. "Now Peck!" Fletchling's beak grew and turned white as she flew towards Butterfree with the intent to end the battle.

"Dodge it!" Owen commanded. Butterfree dodged with grace and ease as if she was a natural born performer, causing Tyler to gasp. "Now, use Sleep Powder!" Butterfree flapped her wings and sent out a blue dust right above Fletchling. The normal and flying type was covered in the blue dust which sent her into a deep sleep instantly.

"Fletchling!" Tyler gasped as his Pokemon was out cold on the battlefield. All he could do was watch as Owen called attack after attack on his sleeping Pokemon. Confusion! Gust! Confusion! "C'mon Fletchling!" Tyler roared, and suddenly, Fletchling woke up and shot into the air, wings stretched out and ready to battle. Owen noticed that Fletchling was very weak and another attack would surely knock her out, so he decided to take an aggressive approach with his next move. "Ok Aerial Ace!" Fletchling started to fly and made wind ripple around her very presence.

"Use Gust!" Owen called. Butterfree flapped her powerful wings and started to slow Fletchling down significantly. Fletchling was barely moving, but Tyler wasn't going to let some wind take down his Pokemon.

"Spin!" Fletchling started to spin violently which not only made her attack more powerful, but it also allowed her to break free from the wind.

"Free!" Butterfree cried as she dropped to the ground after being hit by the supercharged Aerial Ace. Both flying types looked weak, and if either of them took another attack, it would all be over.

"Quick Attack!"

"Confusion!" Fletchling flapped her wings and started to surge forward at a rapid pace while Butterfree's eyes were blue, powering up the beam. Then, all of a sudden, the beam was unleashed in a raw, blue powered goodness. Fletchling and the confusion collided and a massive explosion was created. It covered the entire battlefield and enveloped Owen, Tyler, Butterfree, and Fletchling. It quickly cleared, however, and revealed the fates of both Pokemon.

"Return!" both trainers declared after seeing their Pokemon had fainted in the epic collision. Then, they told both their Pokemon how great they were before taking out another Pokeball.

"Froakie, let's go!" Tyler threw Froakie's Pokeball into the air and he was unleashed into the battle. Owen noticed Froakie looked nervous and was slouching, not at all confident like his Froakie. Sighing, Owen tossed his third and final Pokeball onto the battlefield.

"Pikachu, zap 'em!"

"Pika-chu!" a cute little yellow mouse Pokemon squealed. "Pikachu, I know you could finish this really quickly, but I want you to take it easy on Froakie. He's been having some issues with his confidence and this is only a practice battle, okay?" Owen instructed. Pikachu rolled his eyes at the request, but nodded at his trainer's wish before dropping to all fours.

"Alright, Froakie, try to use Bubble," Tyler told the timid water type softly, because he didn't want Froakie to get scared from the heat of battle. Froakie looked back at Tyler nervously and then at Owen and Pikachu, who were waiting for the attack to be performed. Despite the calm nature of the battle, Froakie began running away from Pikachu, causing Owen, Pikachu, and Tyler to sweat drop.

"Pikachu, use Thunder Shock!" Owen commanded before whispering; "…lightly…". Pikachu's red cheeks started to generate a small bit of electricity, and he let out a tiny jolt towards Froakie, who was still scampering away from the battle.

"Froakie, use your Quick Attack!" Froakie looked at Tyler before turning and running aimlessly towards Pikachu with his eyes closed. He lightly hit Pikachu, but it certainly wasn't a Quick Attack. Froakie opened his eyes and saw Pikachu with an annoyed look on his face, causing the frog to start running away from the electric rodent. Pikachu sighed as he watched his ridiculous opponent, and he glanced back at Owen with a ticked off look.

"Let's see if we can knock some sense into Froakie! Electro Ball!" Pikachu hopped at least a dozen feet into the air and gathered a ball of electricity on the end of his tail before whipping it around at Froakie. Froakie turned to watch the attack and stood still, which made Owen laugh, but he held it in. BAM! Froakie was launched back against the wall behind Tyler, where he slowly got up with tears in his eyes.

"Froakie use, ah, what are your other attacks?" the inexperienced trainer questioned while scratching his head. Owen sweat dropped and looked at Tyler like he was an idiot.

"You can check your Pokemon's attacks with your Pokedex," the older trainer explained, causing Tyler to grin sheepishly.

"Oh…" With that, he took out his Pokedex and scanned Froakie quickly while Pikachu folded his arms over his chest and tapped his foot against the ground impatiently.

"Froakie's attacks: Bubble, Quick Attack, Water Pulse and Acrobatics," the Pokedex announced, causing Tyler to beam.

"Woa, those are some sick moves, Froakie!" he proclaimed. "Alright then, use Water Pulse!" Froakie quickly started to gather water in his palms and everyone was surprised he was actually attacking. "You go, Froakie!" But, as soon as Tyler said that, Froakie's Water Pulse exploded and sent a wave of water towards himself, pushing the weak Pokemon back.

"Pikachu, use Quick Attack!" Owen screamed while pointing at Froakie as if he was aiming for Pikachu.

"Froakie, I know you can use your Acrobatics," Tyler told Froakie, expressing a false sense of confidence in the timid Pokemon. Froakie looked up at Tyler and then started to run aimlessly at Pikachu again, but this time he was waving his arms everywhere. Owen and Tyler saw Froakie open his eyes this time, which they thought was a good sign, but as soon as he saw Pikachu he started to run away. It wasn't long before he was pounded by the Quick Attack, and Froakie was sent skidding across the ground on his face. "Froakie, use your Bubble, and do it just the way Owen's Froakie taught you."

"Kie!" Froakie shrieked as he fired his Bubble attack, which just went everywhere as usual, hitting everyone except himself. At least on the plus side, he did some damage to Pikachu.

"Pikachu, Thunder Shock!"

"Water Pulse." Froakie started to gather up water energy in his palms while Pikachu was charging up for Thunder Shock, but similar to how the last Water Pulse went, it popped and sent water flying all over the battlefield, trapping himself and Pikachu inside of it.

"Chuu!" Pikachu screeched as he unleashed Thunder Shock. BOOM! The result of electricity and water everywhere wasn't a pretty result and sent both of the combating Pokemon flying backwards. Pikachu managed to land on his feet expertly while Froakie smacked against the ground face first, and he remained motionless.

"Well done, Froakie, I'm proud of you," Tyler told Froakie as he returned the water starter to his pokeball. "Chespin, your turn is now!" Tyler roared as he chucked his third and final Pokeball forward.

"Chespin!" the cute nut Pokemon called out as he exited his pokeball. Owen and Tyler could see wounds all over him, so Tyler knew he would have to end the battle quickly. On a side note, it looked like the Leech Seed vines had gone away.

"Pikachu, now is when we get serious! Quick Attack!" Owen reminded Pikachu before he sped forwards. Pikachu dropped to all fours and dashed towards Chespin while white light trailed behind his body, but Tyler and Chespin countered with a predictable attack.

"Chespin, Leech Seed!" Tyler countered quickly. Chespin sent out the all-so familiar seeds from his mouth, and they hit Pikachu while he was running. The vines suddenly wrapped around him and tripped Pikachu, stopping the blindingly fast attack. "Now Tackle!" Chespin ran forward and slammed his body against Pikachu's, sending him rolling back to Owen.

"Thunderbolt!" A wave of yellow energy surrounded Pikachu's body, but his attack was stopped cold when he was hurt by the Leech Seed, which regained some of Chespin's health. After that, Pikachu unleashed a much more powerful zigzagging bolt of electricity than before. Thanks to the Leech Seed buying him some time to think, Tyler already had a counter move in mind.

"Use Rollout to deflect!" Chespin started to roll like a steam roller which just made the Thunderbolt bounce off of him, much to the surprise of Owen and Pikachu. "Now hit Pikachu with Rollout!" Chespin then went racing towards Pikachu at a wicked velocity, and all that could be heard was a massive SLAM! Pikachu was sent soaring through the air before landing on his back, but got back up. He was very weak, however, and Tyler saw that Owen looked nervous.

"Electro Ball!" Pikachu hopped in the air and began whipping his tail around before firing a shimmering ball of yellow electricity towards Chespin, but yet again, Chespin and Tyler were able to counter.

"Wrap Vine Whip around Electro Ball and sent it back flying!" Two vines appeared out of Chespin's back, and they wrapped around the Electro Ball in mid-air before it was thrown right back towards Pikachu with more power than before. Pikachu began spinning like a wheel and his tail sliced through the attack before he landed on the ground and began panting heavily.

"Quick Attack!" Owen shouted, now calling attacks out of desperation.

"Tackle!" The two Pokemon collided but the look on Pikachu's face was power, perseverance and determination, which was how he managed to overpower Chespin. Chespin was sent rolling along the ground but he hopped back up once he heard Tyler's voice cut through the air. "Vine Whip!" the inexperienced trainer shouted desperately, just like Owen had before.

"Thunderbolt Pikachu!" Pikachu leaned backwards before he threw his body forward as well as a powerful zigzagging bolt of lightning. Chespin was zapped but Thunderbolt, but Pikachu's health was sucked away but the Leech Seed, which seemed to give Tyler and Chespin all the confidence in the world.

"Alright, Chespin, use Rollout!"

"Pikachu, Quick Attack!" Chespin agilely jumped into the air before he started to steam roll towards Pikachu, who jumped into the air also but was below Chespin while a clean white strip of energy trailed behind both of the Pokemon. The two battling creatures collided and started pushing each other back and forth. A sudden blast of energy sent both Pokemon flying back into their trainers, and the dust on the field was whipped up.

"Return!" The battlefield was covered with dust at our feet as a fearsome battle had taken place, and the only Pokemon that stood on that battlefield was Chespin, who was covered in bruises and cuts while also slumping over and panting in exhaustion.

"We did it, buddy!" Tyler cheered as he and Chespin hugged while letting the stresses from the battle go. Owen frowned due to his loss, especially to a rookie trainer, but he smiled while withdrawing Pikachu to his Pokeball before thanking the electric type for the hard-fought battle.

"Congratulations, Tyler, you fought bravely!" Owen exclaimed before shaking Tyler's hand while flashing a toothy grin.

"Wow, I can't believe I beat such a high-leveled trainer like you," Tyler announced in shock, causing Owen to laugh slightly.

"Pin!" Chespin agreed with a weak grin.

"I'll definitely beat you next time," Owen assured Tyler with another toothy grin. "But you were impressive, even though one of your Pokemon didn't really even battle me, you still won. Very impressive," Owen iterated, as he was clearly surprised by the outcome of the battle.

"Hehe. Thanks," Tyler giggled. "But Froakie, he needs a lot of work and care. I promise, from trainer to trainer, I'll do everything I can to make him get his confidence back!"

"You better! Because the next time we battle, I want to see that Froakie's true potential!" Owen exclaimed. The two trainers both laughed and sort of just looked at each other for half a dozen seconds, scanning the other and thinking of their upcoming battles.

"Well, Tyler, you're one of a kind. I gotta hit the road, but you go win that gym battle!" Owen told Tyler with a confident glint in his eye.

"I will!" Tyler promised excitedly. The two said their goodbyes after Owen healed up his injured Pokemon, and Tyler watched as Owen left, waving.

"He sure is a special trainer," Owen thought to himself while Froakie and Charizard, who had been in his Pokeball the entire day, walked by his side. "Our next battle is definitely gonna be intense, but first, I need to focus on getting my next gym badge!"

Before I say anything related to this chapter, SHULK CONFIRMED FOR SM4SH! Even though I've never played Xenoblade, he seems like a really cool character. Now, Owen lost… again. Tyler is going to be (along with another writer's character) Owen's second rival, but he's far from a pushover. Now, Owen is headed for Cyllage City and his second gym battle, but it's going to take a while to get there. With traveling companions (yes, multiple) joining him on his way, a tournament held by the king of Kalos, and a battle with one of, if not the most powerful trainer in all of Kalos coming up, it's sure to be a bumpy ride. Till next time, peace out.

Next Chapter: Go With the Flow: Once Owen arrives in Lumiose City, he meets a familiar female with quite the free spirit. While they venture around the city performing stupid stunts, Brooklyn continues her search for Owen after returning to Lumiose. Meanwhile, Ariel and Blaziken search for help in an attempt to stop a potential tyrant from rising. Will they be able to gain enough support?
