(Down in the hotel Lobby)

"We are leaving" said Taylor. "Why?"asked Brady. "We are going to train some more" said Taylor. "Thats fine good luck and we will see you again" said Taylor. Then Taylor and Gavin leave the hotel back towards Grantville. "What are we doing today?" asked Brady. "Lets go see what Andrew is saying at the trainer school" said Katie. "That sounds good"said Brady. They walk to the trainer school and find a seat in the gym of the school.

(At the School)

"We should have some time after this to battle the gym leader" said Brady. "Yeah we should" said Emma. The kids start filling in and found a seat. More trainers came in and seated among Brady, Emma, and Katie. People were talking among themselves and waited for Andrew to come and talk. "Are you ready Andrew?" asked the principle of the school. "Yeah I am" said Andrew. "Then I will go out and introduce you than" said the principle walking out to the stage. "Good Morning trainers and students it is a pleasure to welcome Andrew Hanson" said the principle. Andre walks out and shakes the principle's hand and takes the mic from him.

(Andrew Talking)

"Good morning. It is really nice to get some time to talk to all of you that will be future trainers, professors, and researchers. You all have your future ahead of you. Set your goals high and you will accomplish them. There will always be obstacles in your way. You will get over them. No matter how hard or how easy. You will pass them. We as trainers or what you want to be will face trouble and challenges. you need to understand these challenges will help become better at what you want to be. On my road to become Champion I faced my friends which one does not talk to anymore and the other I have not heard from since the my Champions Cup. You will always make new friends I have. So everything you have now will still be here just be prepare for the worst but you can expect the best. Now I have some advice I was given at your age. Pokemon and us are connected you do not treat your pokemon the way you do not want to be treated. To make sense of that is once you get pokemon you treat them well. I would like to thank you all for letting me take some time away from your classes and for the trainers taking some time from their training have a good day and thank you" said Andrew. He then waves goodbye and walks off the stage.

(Outside the school)

"He really knows a lot" said Emma. "True I guess he has personal experiences" said Brady. "So now what?" asked Katie. "To the gym I guess" said Emma. "How are you three" said Andrew walking up. "Good speech out there" said Brady. "Thanks" said Andrew. "There is only one thing left in this town and that is the gym" said Emma. "So that is were your going" said Andrew. "Yeah we are" said Brady. "Good luck I will catch up with you guys later" said Andrew heading back to his hotel. "Lets go to the gym. They walk all the way to the gym.

(At the gym)

The gym is covered in grass and trainers are hidden in the grass ready to pop up. They walk into the grass and kept going. "Be careful in here" said Brady. They made it to a door that says "trainers who are ready enter." "I guess we are ready" said Brady. They all walk into the room and find a guy dressed in all green just sitting in grass. "Welcome to my gym" said the person. "I am Noah Bettes and I am the 1st gym leader here in Harrisburg" said Noah. "So is going first" said Noah standing up. "I will " said Emma. "How many pokemon you have" said Noah. "I have two" said Emma. "So this will be a two on two match with only one winner" said Noah. I guy walks out and says" I will ref this match." They walk to the pokemon battling spot and took there positions.

"You ready." said Noah. "I am" said Emma. "You may choose your first pokemon now" said the ref. "Go Pansage" said Noah. "Go Lillipup" said Emma.

"Pansage vine whip."

"Dodge it Lillipup and use bite."

"Use fury swipes Pansage." The bite hit when the Pansage tried to attack with fury swipes. Pansage continued to fight.

"Pansage seed bomb." The seed bomb did massive damage to Lillipup but Lillipup continued but something was happening to Lillipup. It was evolving. Lillipup was starting to glow then it evolved into a Herdier.

"I know have a Herdier." said Emma.

"Herdier use tackle." Herdier used take down not tackle. This take down did some damage to Pansage.

"Pansage can you continue." Pansage got up and continued to battle.

"Pansage seed bomb again."

"Pansage get up we got to win." The Pansage still got up and continued.

"Pansage seed bomb one more time."

"Dodge it and use take down one more time." This take down hit Pansage and sent him into the deep grass. Bounced off the ground then hit the wall.

"Pansage is unable to battle Herdier wins." said the ref. "I will stay with Herdier" said Emma. "Then I will go with Lilligant" said Noah.

"Lilligant use energy ball."

"Herdier dodge it and use take down." The take down hit the Lilligant but did not do much damage. All the take downs are starting to have an effect on Herdier.

"Whats wrong with her Herdier" asked Katie. "All the take downs have done some damage to Herdier" said Andrew joining Brady and Katie watching Emma's battle. "What do you mean?" asked Brady. "Well take down does do damage to the pokemon uses it kind of like recoil" said Andrew. "Ok" said Brady. Now back to the battle.

"Lilligant use energy ball."

"Herdier dodge it" The damage from the take down made Herdier unable to dodge it. Herdier took damage from the energy ball and Herdier fainted.

"Herdier is unable to battle Lilligant wins" said the ref. "Okay good job, return Herdier. Go Torchic" said Emma.

"Torchic ember."

"Lilligant use Giga Drain." The ember hits which stopped Lilligant from using giga drain.

"Lilligant energy ball."

Torchic use ember." The ember's power became more powerful.

"That is not ember thats fire spin" said Andrew. "Torchic learned a new move" said Katie to Emma. "I know" said Emma.

"Torchic fire spin." The fire spin did a lot of damage and it caused a burn in Lilligant.

"Torchic use ember one last time."

"Lilligant use magical leaf." The Lilligant tried to use magical leaf but could not because of the burn caused by fire spin. The ember hit and Lilligant was unable to move.

"Lilligant can you continue" said Noah. His Lilligant was unable to move and the burn caused some more damage.

"Lilligant is unable to battle Torchic wins, Emma is the winner." said the ref.

(After the battle)

"I will go next" said Katie. Emma join Brady and Andrew up in the stands while Katie goes to the arena. Noah finishes healing his pokemon and joins Katie in the arena.
