MLT runs away from rabid squirrels, and closes door behind myself, "Hey guys sorry I didn't post right away but you know... work and stuff. Anyways I've got this chapter up so enjoy."

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or any of the OCs except for Francis and the rival trainer who will be coming up.

The three trainers and their pokemon were walking down the dirt path when Josh piped up, "When do you think we can get to Professor Oak's lab?" Francis looked at the map and replied back, "Well we've been walking for at least a mile or two so maybe three to four more miles left."

Ethan sighed and grabbed a chocolate bar and ate it to calm him down. Suddenly a person shoved Francis which made him stumble. Josh became infuriated and grabbed the person's collar, "What the hell was that for, you need to apologize to my friend here."

The person glared at Josh and shoved him away, which didn't work due to Josh's large stature, "Tch, why do I need to?" He glared at Francis, then turned back to Josh, "He obviously was in the damn way." That sentence made the three friends and their partner pokemon to growl. Ethan took a huge bite from the chocolate bar to calm himself down.

The person had a pale light built body body with a height around 5'11" , with hazel shaggy hair and eyes, a red shirt with blue zig zags across it, black jeans, white tennis shoes, and gold goggles around his neck.

The person then smirked and remarked, "I'll apologize if he manages to beat me in a Pokemon battle." Francis just nodded, not saying a word.

Francis and the person were staring at each other from across the battle field, not moving a muscle. Then, the person sent out his Pidgey,this gave the go to Francis to send out Rika.

"Pidgey use gust on his Pikachu!"

The bird pokemon proceeded to flap his wings creating a mini tornado, launching it at Rika.

"Rika dodge the Gust attack then counter with Shock Wave!" Francis shouted calmly. The female Pikachu moved quickly to the side and used Shock Wave, hitting Pidgey on its back, stunning the tiny bird. The trainer then commanded the Pidgey to use Sand-Attack, which hit Rika on the eyes.

Rika proceeded to wipe her eyes, giving her an open chance to hit her. Pidgey then used Gust, which didn't deal much damage due to Flying being inaffected to Electric. After she finished rubbing her eyes, which were still filled with a bit of sand. Francis then told her to use Shock Wave on the Pidgey.

She did so, which knocked out the tiny bird pokemon.

The trainer growled and returned his pokemon.

"Sorry." He admitted quietly, "But I still hate you, and only this once I'll tell you my name."

Francis raised his brow. "It's Seth Tallis." The trainer who revealed himself said, then left without looking back.

Josh and Ethan came up to Francis, with Ethan telling Francis, "Wow I can't believe that guy." After he said that Josh nodded his head in agreement.

After fixing up Rika, thanks to Josh's help they continued to Pallet Town. The three trainers pokemon were talking to each other behind their masters.

"Are you sure your okay Rika? You did take a Sand-Attack to the eyes" Wolfe asked his friend, concerned for her safety. Rika nodded and cheerfully replied, "Don't worry about it, Angel's master fixed me up."

Angel just smiled and the three of them continued to walk.

The three friends soon arrived at Pallet Town, with looks of happiness on their faces. Well sort of Ethan didn't show it, but it did show in his eyes.

They continued to the Professor's lab. Once they got there Oak noticed them and waved with a big grin plastered on his face. "Ah welcome boys I see that you're here early, I was expecting you in another our or two." Josh replied back, "Yeah we decided to leave at an earlier time for the boat ride here, so here we are."

Professor Oak smiled and then got several items on his desk.

"Here you go." The professor gave the trio matching beige backpacks, five extra pokeballs, and their own pokedexes, but Francis noticed he only received two extra pokeballs.

"Uh, Professor how come I only have two empty pokeballs, aren't I supposed to have five?" Professor Oak smiled, "I'm glad you asked Francis, you see I received three pokemon a few days ago, and I wanted to give someone the pokemon."

"But, why me?" Oak smiled some more, "Let's just say it's a little gift." He then got three pokeballs from a pod(?) and gave it to Francis, who took it with gratitude. "Thank you professor."

The trio then left the lab, and walked a few feet away from it. "Can we see the pokemon, Francis?" Ethan asked, who got a happy nod in return.

He then threw the tree pokeballs in the air releasing a bipedal red lizard with a beige tummy and an active fire on the tip of its tail, a bipedal blue turtle with a pale yellow stomach and a brown shell, and a four-legged green dinosaur with a huge bud seed on its back and gray spots here and there.

The three got their pokedexes out, and scanned the three new pokemon.

After scanning the three pokemon Francis gave the three new acquired pokemon names. The male Charmander that now goes by the name of Blaze, the female Bulbasaur that now goes by the name of Tina, and the male Squirtle that now goes by the name of Wavern.

"Well now that's out of the way let's get moving shall we?" Ethan pipped up. Josh and Francis nodded and the three started to leave. Making their way to Viridian Forest with their pokemon by their sides.

MLT pops out with bandages covering various parts on his body, "Hey guys hope you enjoyed this chapter, and if you want to learn more out the new rival, Seth Tallis, you can check on his full info on my profile.

So I'll see you guys in the next chapter, and I hope to get more OCs in the future. MLT hides back under the bed with the same pillow.
