MLT is playing Legend of Zelda and sees you, "Hey guys!" Pauses game, "I have nothing else to do, since I'm off this weekend and my family and I aren't doing anything, so I thought I post another chapter today." Francis pops out of no where, "Can I do the disclaimer?"

"Sure..."

Francis: MLT doesn't own Pokemon or the OCs except for me and Seth.

XXXXX

"What?" Riley raised an eyebrow to Francis' proposal, who in turn nodded. "Yup, I just asked if you wanted to join us in our journey." Francis rubs the back of his neck, sheepishly, "I mean if you want to, that's okay with me if you don't want to."

Riley closed her eyes and thought for a while, pondering if she wants to join them. She then opens her eyes and smiles, "I'd like to join." Francis, Ethan, and Josh smiled.

"Alright since we're done here," Josh pushes up his glasses, "Let's go to Viridian Forest now." Which received a nod from the rest.

-Outside-

"I can't wait to go inside Viridian Forest." Riley said. Francis snickered, "Hope your not scared of bug type pokemon." He then made his fingers move in a spooky fashion and made "ooo-ing" noises. Riley shook her head at Francis statement, and the 4 teens walked into the building, where the Viridian Forest entrance is.

Wolfe and Rika looked around to see no other people inside the building. Wolfe walked up to Ethan, "There are no other people or pokemon here." Ethan shrugged and the group went through the entrance of Viridian Forest.

Inside the forest is what most forests would be like; thick with trees, grass on the floor, and sort of dark and mysterious. The group continued their trek through the woods when they heard two sounds coming from different directions.

"I think we should split up and investigate the noises." Francis said, who received a "yes" in return. Francis then pointed at Ethan and Josh, "You two go check out that noise over there." He pointed to the right, where one of the sounds came from. The two teens nodded and walked to their destination in silence.

Francis looked at Riley, "So I guess that means you're with me?" The girl nodded and the two went to the opposite direction of Ethan and Josh.

Francis and Riley walked to the noise, which seemed to get louder the deeper into the forest they went. After several minutes they saw something in the distance. It was a boy at what seemed to be the age of 16, training with a bipedal blue Fox-like pokemon.

Francis brought out his pokedex,which told the male that the Fox like pokemon was a Lucario. It wasn't a good idea to bring out the pokedex, because it was loud enough for the Lucario and the boy to hear, which stopped their training.

"Who's there?" He asked.

Francis and Riley looked at each other with uneasy glances, but they decided to show themselves. "Hey there." Riley said to the boy, but Francis stayed quiet due to his personality to strangers.

The boy was high alert, just in case the two did anything funny. "Were you two watching us?" Francis stayed silent ,throwing cautious glances at the boy and his Lucario, so Riley did it for him, "Sort of, but we just came here to investigate the sounds." She looked at Francis and then back at the boy, "We didn't know it was you two, sorry for the intrusion." The girl said politely.

They were about to walk away, when the boy called out to them.

"Hey!" He paused to look at his Lucario, who nodded, "I want to join you two, but you have to battle me first." Riley was about to say something when Francis put a hand on her shoulder, "I'll take care of this." Riley stood there and nodded, not saying a word.

-Enter battle scene-

"Ruby use Aura Sphere!" The boy said to the Lucario, who seemed to be named Ruby. The Lucario bent down and put its hands on her side, where a blue sphere was being made in its palms. Suddenly Ruby thrust it's palms outwards which caused the blue sphere to rocket towards Francis.

Francis quickly sent out his Squirtle,Wavern. "Wavern use Withdraw, quick!" The Squirtle tucked in its head, arms, and legs just in time because the sphere hit the shell. The downside is that Wavern's shell got launched into a tree.

"Oof.." Wavern groaned inside his shell. But for Riley and the boy it was just a short, "Squirt..." Wavern got out of his shell.

"Ruby, Dark Pulse." Then the Lucario emitted a wave of darkness which hit Wavern dead on. Francis scowled at that move then looked at his Squirtle in concern, "You okay bud?"

"Y-yeah...(Squirtle...)" Wavern got up slowly.

"Ruby use Calm Mind then Aura Sphere again." The boy said which prompted Ruby to close her eyes.

Francis tried to form a plan in his head before the Lucario uses her next attack, while he was thinking eyes gaze stopped upon a tree, "Wait." He thought.

"Wavern I want you to stand in front of the tree and when Ruby uses Aura Sphere use Withdraw." The Squirtle nodded and did as told. He walked to a tree and stood in front of it, waiting for the next attack.

Ruby opened her eyes and brought her hands to her side, creating the same blue sphere in her palms, but this time the sphere grew bigger than last time. Ruby then thrust her palms toward again launching the sphere toward Wavern, who in turn knew what to do.

Right before it hit him, he quickly used Withdraw. He suddenly got hit and he ricocheted off the tree he was standing in front of and hit Ruby's abdomen area. This caught the Lucario off guard, in which Francis saw a good time to attack, "Wavern! Tackle!"

Wavern got out of his shell and tackled the taller pokemon in the legs, who fell on its back.

Francis was about to give another command when Ruby got up quickly and jumped back next to the boy. "That's good enough, you did well." He stopped talking for a moment then started talking, "Ruby tells me you did a good job wounding her, I'm Crimson and you probably already know Ruby, my female Lucario." He introduced himself and his partner.

Crimson was 3 inches smaller than Francis with white skin, short black hair, and blue eyes. He seems to have the muscle build of a young adult. He wore a blue jacket that has a flaming blue Aura Design on it. He also adorned black weather resistant pants with a berry pouch hooked onto his left pocket. A necklace with one Cherish Ball on it (Probably held his Lucario in it.) He has a pair of red and black running shoes and a medium sized knapsack.

"So what are your name's?" Crimson asked Francis and Riley. Francis didn't say anything, and went over to his Squirtle to see if he was ok. Riley now knowing that Francis doesn't like talking to strangers, minus her for some reason, talked for the both of them.

"Well I'm Riley Crescent and that over there is Francis." She then pointed at said teen, who was now returning Wavern into his pokeball, "I think he doesn't like talking to strangers."

Crimson waved it off, "No its okay, he probably has a good reason behind that."

-Time skip-

Francis, Crimson, and Riley were walking back to the road where they split into two directions, only to see Josh, Ethan, and another person!

"Argh! There's too many people joining our team." Francis mentally thought, but then sighed, "But I guess it's a good thing probably cause I need more friends, not just Ethan and Josh."

Right after talking to himself the other newcomer popped right in front of the other three, "Hi my name is Cody Fisher and you three are?"

Francis like always stayed silent, since he didn't know Cody either.

Cody had short black hair and emerald green eyes. He was wearing a silver shirt with a purple hooded jacket, jeans and white sneakers.

So Crimson and Riley decided to talk. "Well I'm Crimson, and that person over there is Francis." Crimson pointed at Francis. Riley soon introduced herself, "I'm Riley Crescent, pleased to meet you Cody." She smiled gently. Francis walked over to Josh and Ethan, since he felt like himself when around them. "So how did you guys meet Cody?" He asked them.

"Well his Zorua transformed into Ethan and Cody came running towards us about to ask if we've seen his Zorua," Josh pushed up his glasses then continued talking, "Until he saw that there were two Ethans, and after that fiasco he introduced himself and his Zorua who was named Vega."

Francis nodded, "Seems reasonable." Ethan then piped up, "So who's that person you brought over?" Francis looked at Crimson then replied, "That's Crimson, we met him training with his Lucario, Ruby." He then sighed, "He then wanted to battle me and join us in our little group."

Ethan closed his eyes and Josh nodded his head slowly while making humming noises.

XXXXX

After the introductions from everyone, they decided to have lunch after that they would all continue to Pewter City. While waiting for Josh to finish cooking, everyone else did something of their choice while waiting.

Riley and Cody were talking, Ethan was sitting against a tree while Wolfe was resting next to him, Francis and Crimson were training their pokemon.

-With Francis and Crimson-

"Tina use Tackle on Ruby, Blaze use Ember, and Wavern use Water Gun!" Francis commanded the attacks to his companions, who did as told without second thought.

Tina ran at Ruby full force, but Crimson had given his partner an attack, "Ruby use Aura Sphere!" The Lucario launched the attack at Tina, who got hit dead on the side. Blaze shot a small stream of fire from his mouth while Wavern did the same thing, but with water instead.

"Ruby Dark Pulse!" A wave of darkness hit the two starters and made them crash into two separate trees, knocking the wind out of them. "She's strong, I can tell...(Char Cha Charmander...)" Blaze groaned, Tina and Wavern nodded. The three pokemon got up and waited for Francis to give them attacks.

"Tina use Vine Whip to lift up Blaze," The Bulbasaur nodded and two long vines erupted from her seed but on her back, and wrapped them around Blaze's abdomen area. This earned quizzical looks from Crimson and Ruby.

"Blaze use Ember on your hands and when it is on fire use Scratch on Ruby." Then Tina lifted Blaze and while doing that Blaze blew a small stream on fire on his hand, prompting it to light up. Suddenly Tina threw Blaze towards Ruby.

"Ruby Aura Sphere quick!" Ruby launched the blue sphere at Blaze, but it barley missed the lizard pokemon. Right after it missed Blaze then scratched Ruby with his flaming hand, which hit the Lucario on the cheek area. Ruby stumbled backwards holding onto her cheek.

"Wavern Tackle quick!" The Squirtle ran at the Lucario and tackled the Fox like pokemon in the side, but Crimson and Ruby weren't finished.

"GUYS FOOD IS READY!" Josh called out to the two teens training, which stopped them. They nodded at each other and walked to the rest of the group, bringing their pokemon.

XXXXX

"Josh I always wonder how your food is really delicious." Ethan said swallowing his food, in which made Francis nod in agreement. Crimson, Cody, and Riley not knowing what they mean just continued eating. Josh pushed up his glasses and replied, "Well I have my grandmother to thank for that, and Angel too." He then brought out his Vulpix.

This was a very bad idea for Josh because when Riley saw Angel she sat in her spot not moving with a look of shock in her eyes. Josh saw this and quickly returned Angel.

"Sorry Riley." Josh apologized. The small girl didn't reply for a while before shaking her head and smiling gently at Josh, "Its okay Josh you didn't know." Riley smiled gently, but Josh still felt guilty. The group continued to eat, along with their pokemon.

XXXXX

The group finally made it out of the forest, and saw Pewter City ahead of them. They were about to start walking when a Nidoran (male) ran in front of them. This made Francis grin, he was going to catch this pokemon.

-Enter Battle Scene-

"Rika use Thundershock." Francis told his partner, "Ok!" The Pikachu electrocuted the Nidoran with a small electrical shock which hit the small pokemon directly on the back.

After that attack the Nidoran, he started to run towards Rika going for a Tackle. "Rika dodge to the right." She tried to but the Nidoran had managed to hit the poor Pikachu. "OUCH! (CHAA!)" She started skidding and stopped at Francis' feet.

"Are you okay buddy?" Francis kneeled at his friend's side, right after he said that the Pikachu got up with a few scratches, but nothing too major to the third degree. "Just give me an attack, Fedora!" She grinned slightly at Francis's nickname. He rolled his eyes and pointed at the Nidoran, "Rika use Quick Attack now!"

Rika ran at a blur towards the smaller pokemon and hit him. While the Nidoran was dazed, Francis threw a pokeball at him.

...

Ding!

"Finally a new pokemon added to the team!" Francis proclaimed. He then went to the pokeball and picked it up, "I'm going to name you Nino," He smiled wide, "Welcome to the team." Suddenly Rika jumped onto his shoulder and smiled at him.

"We got a new friend. (Pika Pikachu Pi.) " She giggled

-End Battle Scene-

"Congratulations on catching that pokemon Francis." Crimson and Cody said in unison. "Yeah you did great!" Riley smiled, while Josh and Ethan grinned, while putting a thumbs up.

"Should we start heading to Pewter City now?" Ethan suddenly said, while eating a bag of gummy worms. Riley stood next to the pale boy, "Can I have some?" Ethan nodded and offered her some of the gummy worms. The small girl smiled widely and grabbed some and ate them.

Josh raised a brow, but just shook it off, "Let's go we need to get their before it gets dark." Everyone nodded and started walking towards the city.

-At Pewter City-

"Can we go to the PokeCenter now? My companions need healing." Francis told the group, who agreed with the older teen. They all started walking to their destined location.

XXXXX

After healing their pokemon the teens decided to eat their dinner at the PokeCenter's cafeteria, leaving their partner pokemon in the lobby.

Wolfe rested on the floor with Rika sitting on his back. Blaze, Tina, and Wavern were talking to Shadow, who was Riley's female Poochyena and partner. Vega was staring at Shadow with a flirty look and Ruby was leaning against a wall with her eyes closed and arms crossed across her chest. Angel was sleeping on a chair not to far from Vega, completely ignoring his flirty looks to Shadow. Nino was looking at everyone with caution, making sure they won't attack him suddenly.

"Today was fun, won't you guys agree?" Rika asked the others. The others agreed with her, except for Nino who stayed quiet.
