To answer the question Elizabethtown is in Kentucky. It is about 2 hours from Nashville.

(At the Gym)

"You ready to battle her Brady?" asked Emma.

"Yeah I am. She is a bug type gym leader so I will rely on Murkrow." said Brady.

Travis walks over to where Brady, Emma, and Katie were standing.

"You two young ladies can find a seat in the bleachers and for you Brady you can follow me to the arena." said Travis.

Katie and Emma found a seat close to the arena. They watched as Brady and Zoe meet in the middle of the arena.

(In the Arena)

"This is a gym battle between the gym leader Zoe Caldwell and the challenger Brady Anderson. This will be a 4 on 4 pokemon battle. Only the challenger will be able to substitute pokemon. Are both of you ready?" said Travis.

"Sigh... I guess." said Zoe walking away from the middle over to her spot.

"I am" said Brady walking over to his spot too.

"Then this battle can begin." said Travis.

" Go Dustox." said Zoe tossing out her pokeball.

"I will go with Murkrow." said Brady tossing out his pokeball.

"You can go first." said Zoe.

"Murkrow use peck."

"Dodge it Dustox and use sludge bomb."

Murkrow's peck begun to glow and he charged at Dustox. Dustox avoided the attack and shot out from his mouth a purple sludge in a ball. This attack went right at Murkrow.

"Murkrow fly into the air to dodge that attack.

As the sludge went for Murkrow. He flew high into the air and dodged the attack.

"Interesting way to avoid and attack flying high into the air. Since the attack will power as it goes higher."said Zoe.

"Murkrow dive at that Dustox now."

Murkrow stopped in the air and dove at Dustox. It came at Dustox with a large amount of speed. Dustox stood there looking on as Murkrow came down at her.

"Dustox use Confusion."

Before Dustox could use the attack she was hit with Murkrow's fly. Dustox hits the ground. Dustox continued to battle though after taking a large amount of damage.

"Murkrow use peck one more time."

The peck from Murkrow hits Dustox and Dustox hits the ground one more time. Dustox tried to get up but could not. The peck was too much for Dustox and she fainted.

"Dustox is unable to battle, Murkrow wins." said Travis.

"Well return Dustox, and go Dwebble." said Zoe.

"Let's use the pokedex to get some information about Dwebble." said Brady taking his pokedex out.

Brady points his pokedex at Dwebble.

"Dwebble, the Rock Inn Pokémon. After finding a suitable rock, Dwebble digs a hole in the rock's bottom, to use as a protective shell. Dwebble can make rock easier to carve by producing a liquid from its mouth." says the pokedex.

"Ok return Murkrow, and go Prinplup." said Brady.

"A water type pokemon against a rock type. I must give you the advantage on this one." said Zoe.

"You can go first Zoe this time." said Brady.

"Ok Dwebble use stealth rock." said Zoe.

Her Dwebble shoots out pointy rocks right in front of Prinplup. This will have a long term effect when it comes time for Brady to change his pokemon.

"Prinplup use bubblebeam."

Prinplup shoots out a blue stream of bubbles right at Dwebble.

"Dwebble use withdraw to take that attack." said Zoe quickly.

Dwebble ducked his body into his shell as the stream of bubbles came at him. After the bubbles popped on his shell Dwebble popped his head out and was ready to go.

"Dwebble use Rock Polish."

Dwebble quickly cleaned up his shell. This allows him to move faster on the battlefield.

"She has not launched an attack at all I wonder what her plan is with Dwebble. It has avoided all my attacks too. I will have to try a new way to get an attack on it." said Brady.

"Dwebble use rock polish one more time."

Again the Dwebble cleaned up his shell. He is now even faster than before.

"Prinplup use bubblebeam one more time."

"Dwebble dodge it."

As Prinplup's bubblebeam came at Dwebble. He moved rather quickly to get out of the way. Prinplup's attack completly missed the mark.

"I know how to get to Dwebble his shell. I have to shatter it." said Brady to himself as he closely examines Dwebble's rock on his back.

"Dwebble use slash."

"Prinplup dodge it and follow up with metal claw on the shell."

Dwebble charged at Prinplup with with his pincers leading the way. Prinplup moved out of the way and his fins became a silvery color and he hits them against Dwebble's shell. Metal claw cracked the shell but did not destroy it.

"Close maybe one more metal claw should do it." said Brady.

"Smart thinking I must say. No one has really tried to destroy his shell. That would work if I already prepared for that." said Zoe.

"What do you mean?" asked Brady confused.

"Let me show you. Dwebble use Shell Smash." said Zoe.

Dwebble's shell shattered into pieces. This also increased Dwebble's speed.

"Why would you destroy his shell?" asked Brady.

"Yes Dwebble's only defense is that shell. So yeah he loses that but this powers up his attack and his speed." said Zoe showing a smile.

"That's fine now I can attack you without you ducking into that shell." said Brady.

"True but Dwebble is a lot faster meaning you have to catch him in order to land an attack." said Zoe.

"Prinplup use bubblebeam again."

"Dwebble dodge it and use X- Scissor."

Prinplup again shoots out a stream of bubbles right at where Dwebble was standing. Dwebble avoided that attack with ease and his pincers began to glow orange and he charged right at Prinplup. Dwebble's X-Scissor hit Prinplup and causes Prinplup to back up and fall to one knee. Prinplup did not give up that easy thought. Prinplup stood back up.

"Do it again Dwebble."

As Dwebble charged at Prinplup he began to glow white but he is not evolving. Prinplup took the hit and built up more power after Dwebble landed the attack.

"Hmm... What could be happening?" asked Zoe examining Prinplup.

"I do not know I never seen this before." said Brady.

"It's not torrent. I think its bide." said Zoe.

"Bide." said Brady looking confused.

"Yes bide is an attack. When my Dwebble attacks your Prinplup he endures for a few attacks then unleashes a powerful attack at Dwebble." said Zoe.

"Cool thats a new move." said Brady.

"This is not good no matter what I do this time that Prinplup is going to unleash a very powerful attack and without a shell on Dwebble it will defiantly knock him out. Oh well might as well attack him. Dwebble use slash." said Zoe.

Dwebble charged at Prinplup again. He hits Prinplup again but like before Prinplup endures the attack and unleashes his own attack at Dwebble. Bide sends Prinplup back into the wall behind Zoe. It caused Dwebble to faint.

"Dwebble is unable to battle, Prinplup wins." said Travis.

"Impressive win that round I must say." said Zoe returning her Dwebble.

"Thanks." said Brady.

"Hope you are ready for my next pokemon." said Zoe grabbing her third pokeball.

"I am." said Brady.

"Ok go Joltik." said Zoe.

This little yellow looking spider stands in front of Zoe now.

"A Joltik I have to know what it is." said Brady using his pokedex again.

"Joltik, the Attaching Pokémon. Joltik cling to larger Pokémon, and absorb static electricity, storing the energy in a special pouch." said the Pokedex.

"It is an electric type pokemon. So using Prinplup or Murkrow will not help so I will have to use either Timburr or Nuzleaf, but using Nuzleaf is not smart because Nuzleaf cannot take bug type attacks well. I also have to worry about the stealth rocks too." said Brady.

"Your in a predicament are you Brady?" asked Zoe.

"No I am fine. I will stick with Prinplup." said Brady.

"Ok lets go then you have the first move." said Zoe.

"Prinplup use bubblebeam."

"Joltik dodge it and use Electroweb."

Prinplup fired more bubbles at Joltik. Joltik quickly moved to avoid the bubbles and shot out a spiderweb that went straight for Prinplup. Once it reached Prinplup it wrapped around him. Prinplup took some damage he was also somewhat slower then before.

"Joltik use electroweb again."

"Prinplup dodge it and use peck."

Unable to get out of the way of the electroweb Prinplup again was hit with it wrapping around him. He felt a shock then he was slowed down again.

"This Joltik is going to be hard to beat. I do not have a rock type move that could do some damage to him." said Brady.

"If your not going to go I will. Joltik use electro ball." said Zoe.

Brady's Prinplup was hit with a powerful electro ball. It did massive damage to Prinplup. After taking that hit Prinplup was unable to continue.

"Prinplup is unable to battle, Joltik wins." said Travis.

"Thanks Prinplup return, and go Nuzleaf." said Brady.

Once Nuzleaf was sent out he was hit with the pointed end of the rocks under the arena.

"You interest me Brady. You first go with a water which is clearly not good against electric type pokemon. Then you go with a grass type pokemon who are not good against bugs. Why would you do that?" asked Zoe.

"I have a plan do not worry about that." said Brady.

(Side note with Emma and Katie)

"Why would he go to Nuzleaf?" asked Katie.

"One thing to think about Katie. Nuzleaf is Brady's best pokemon next to of course his starter but knowing him he has a plan I guess its best we wait and see what he does." said Emma.

"Still in my own opinion I would have went to Timburr but if he has a plan I guess we have to hope it works." said Katie.

(Back to the Battle)

"Good know that I can see the stealth rocks I can use them on her. When she gets near my Nuzleaf she too will fill them too so I will that to defeat her." said Brady to himself.

"Go ahead and attack Brady." said Zoe.

"Nuzleaf go and use energy ball."

"Dodge it and use bug bite."

Joltik avoided the energy ball and got her fangs out and charged straight for Nuzleaf.

"Nuzleaf wait till its closer then dodge it and follow up with a solarbeam."

Joltik was charging at Nuzleaf quickly as she got closer Zoe begun to remember why he would do this. And that is she knows with the rocks showing her Joltik is about to take damage form it. Joltik was stopped and hit by the rocks and took a lot of damage from it.

(I do know what stealth rocks really do in the games but do remember most battles are not based on the games but the anime along with some of my creativity. So I thought I give a little heads up about it.)

After Joltik felt the stealth rocks Nuzleaf was no longer in front of her but to the side and was taking in a lot of sunlight and was about to unleash a very powerful attack. Moments later Joltik was hit with a yellow beam of energy and it knocked her out of the rock and it hit the ground bounced up then hit the ground again. Joltik was not able to recover form the combo of the attacks. So it fainted.

"Joltik is unable to battle, Nuzleaf wins." said Travis.

"Joltik return and go Venomoth." said Zoe.

"I might as well check her out in my pokedex." said Brady.

He takes out his pokedex and points it at Venomoth.

"Venomoth, an evolved form of Venonat. Tiny scales on its wings disperse various spores when they are flapped." said the pokedex.

"Nuzleaf do you want to continue?" asked Brady.

"Nu." said Nuzleaf shaking his head yes.

"Ok it looks like I am sticking to Nuzleaf." said Brady.

"I must say what creative way to beat my Joltik but lets see if you do it again." said Zoe.

"I will." said Brady.

"Allow met to go first. Venomoth use poison fang." said Zoe.

"Dodge it Nuzleaf and use energy ball."

Nuzleaf dodges the attack and shoots out another energy ball. This energy ball explodes in the face of Venomoth and it does some damage not a lot but does do some.

"Nuzleaf is a quick I must say." said Zoe.

"Thanks." said Brady.

"Venomoth use sludge bomb."

"Dodge it Nuzleaf."

The Venomoth shoots out a purple ball of sludge as it was going towards Nuzleaf. He dodged the attack and without a command he used tri- attack. The combo attack of fire ice and electric. This move hits the Venomoth and sends her to the ground.

"What just happened?" asked Zoe looking confused.

"I do not know." replied Brady.

"If I had to guess I think Nuzleaf might have learned another move." said Zoe.

"I did not think he could learn tri- attack thought." said Brady.

"He cannot but he can learn Nature Power. Which attack he uses depends on the timing of the attack. Since we are in a building he used tri-attack." said Zoe.

"Nuzleaf lets finish this use Nature Power again." said Brady.

Nuzleaf tried to use the attack again but this time he failed to use that attack it allowed time to Venomoth to use an attack.

"Venomoth use Sliver Wind."

Waves of silvery powder came at Nuzleaf. He was not able to dodge or get out of the way of this attack so he was hit with it and it did a lot of damage. The Nuzleaf tired to get up but could not.

"Nuzleaf is unable to battle, Venomoth wins." said Travis.

"Good job we will work on it Nuzleaf so return and go Murkrow." said Brady.

Murkrow was in the air so he was not effected by the stealth rocks.

"So It comes down to this Brady. Lets see if you can beat my best pokemon." said Zoe.

"I will, Murkrow use peck." said Brady.

"Take to the air to avoid that attack." said Zoe.

Venomoth lifted into the sky and dodged the Murkrow. But Murkrow did not give up he kept after her and closed inch by inch.

"Murkrow use wing attack this." said Brady.

Murkrow still chasing after Venomoth switched from his beak glowing white to both his wings. He caught to Venomoth and she was hit with the wing attack and fell out of the sky. She hit the ground and could not come back to a vertical base and could not continue.

"I knew this would be the outcome. Your Murkrow is faster then my Venomoth it was only a matter of time that you caught up to her." said Zoe returning her Venomoth.

She walks to the middle of the arena and waits for Brady to join her. She watches as his Murkrow land on his arm and he patted it on his head. Brady returns him and joins Zoe in the middle.

"I must say this first. Thank you your battle inspired me to continue what I do best and that is be the best gym leader I can. You do deserve this badge to." said Zoe handing Brady the spider web badge.

"Thank you." said Brady.

"Ok which one of you want to go next?" asked Zoe looking at Emma and Katie.

"I will." said Katie.

"Ok let me heal my pokemon up then we can go." said Zoe.

(Outside the Gym)

Just then a large boom came from outside. Brady, Emma, Katie, and Zoe all ran outside and saw smoke coming from the arena. The walk over to it and there they see two people in DD gear standing there.

"Ok I will ask who are they?" asked Zoe.

"They are Dark Destroyers. They want to rid trainers of their pokemon. They will use any means to do so." said Brady.

"I wonder why they showed up here in Nashville?" asked Zoe.

"Allow me to explain Miss Zoe." said a familiar voice.

A guy walks over to the other two. He is in a black jacket with a white shirt that has DD on in and he has a walking cane to support him.

"I am hear to warn everyone if they do not release their pokemon now they will meet dire consequences." said Claus.

"They do not have to release anything to you Claus." said Katie.

"What a big mouth you have on you. It will cause you some harm. Hahhahaha." said Claus.

"What are you going to do I am not afraid of you." said Katie.

"Rather then tell you I will show you. Go Haxorus." said Claus tossing out a pokeball.

Katie goes for one of her pokemon but is trembling seeing Haxorus right there so she could not get a pokemon out.

"Haxorus use Dragon Claw." said Claus.

"Katie look out." said Brady.

"Aegislash use Kings Shield." said Another Voice flying in on Flygon.

The king's shield took the hit that was meant for Katie. The Flygon land and walks off Andrew with a very determined look in eyes.

"How could you know I was here?" asked Claus.

"It was a hunch. I know you would target the next most populated city and Nashville was it because of the Pokemon Contest about to happen." said Andrew.

"Haxorus use dual chop."

"Flygon blast him with dragon pulse."

Flygon's dragon pulse hits the Haxorus knocking him down next to Claus.

"Haxorus return." said Claus grunting.

Then a helicopter lands behind Claus. He and the other two minions get on it.

"You all will see that I am not lying about freeing your pokemon." said Claus as his helicopter flew off.

Andrew returns both Flygon and Aegislash and walks over to Brady, Emma, Katie and Zoe.

"I was lucky you showed up when you did or I may have been knocked around." said Katie.

"You would not have look at Zoe she had a pokeball ready too." said Andrew.

"I was ready to go." said Zoe.

"But anyway Thank you so much Andrew." said Katie.

"Your welcome." said Andrew.

"If I may I thought you were heading back to DC." said Brady.

"I was but I had a hunch DD would show up here so I thought I might as well shut them down before they could get started." said Andrew.

"Ok." said Brady.

"How about we get out of the middle of the road and get back to a pokemon center." said Andrew.

They all walked back to the pokemon center near the gym and they all sat down.

(At the Pokemon Center)

"I have a question. Why are the DD attacking certain spots?" asked Zoe.

"Well to answer that question I think they are trying to get attention to themselves. They want to spread their word so they target these big cities that are holding major events. For example here the Contest is this week. So what better way to spread their propaganda then to a large audience preparing for the contest." said Andrew.

"How exactly do they choose their targets?" asked Katie interrupting.

"That I do not exactly know my guess they pick and choose." said Andrew.

"What is the goal of all Claus' talking?" asked Katie.

"They are trying to get some type of reaction form trainers and coordinators alike. DD relies on trainers being scared of them which in return makes them more powerful. DD thinks they can push people to do what they want." said Andrew.

"Then how would they scare everyone?" asked Zoe before anyone else could get anything in.

"Their plan is to waken Reshiram with help from the lake spirits." said Andrew.

"How would the lake spirits help awaken him?" asked Katie.

"Allow me to explain something that happened Many, Many years ago an evil organization known as Team Galactic used the power of the lake spirits to awaken Dialga and Palkia. Those fought each causing a rip between time and space with that rip they could have destroyed our planet. If it was not thanks to Darkrai and him sending them away we might not be here." said Andrew.

"Is there more?" asked Katie.

"If there is I do not know it. One day would like to know the whole story but for today I do not." said Andrew.

"So there is more then." said Katie.

"My thinking is this world of ours holds many mysteries yet to be discovered. We have only scratched the surface." said Andrew.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Katie.

"My friend thats a story for a different day." said Andrew getting up.

"You leaving so soon?" asked Katie to Andrew.

"Yeah I was excepted in DC an hour ago. I have to meet up with the construction manger on the rebuilding of the Pokemon League after the DD event there." said Andrew.

"You better go then." said Katie.

"Yeah I should. Good luck to all of you against Zoe." said Andrew leaving.

After Andrew left the four left still talked a bit before Zoe returned to the gym.

"Ok Katie you will battle me first tomorrow. After that Emma you will get your chance." said Zoe.

"Ok we will see you at our gym then." said Katie.

"Yep." said Emma.

"Ok I will see you tomorrow then." said Zoe leaving.

That left Emma, Katie, and Brady in the Pokemon Center. They were still sitting down on the chairs around a small table.

"Well we had a long day we better get our rest up before your gym battles." said Brady.

"Yeah." said Emma.

(Late that Night)

The three of them go to their beds in that Pokemon Center and lay down on their beds. It took minutes for each of them to fall asleep. The clock next to Katie stopped. Something was happening in that Pokemon Center. About an hour after the Nurse went to bed Katie awoke to a loud noise. It was like glass shattering. She walked out to the front of the Pokemon Center but nothing was there. Katie continued to look around but still seen nothing. She walked outside and say the sky a greenish purple color again like it was in Chicago.

"What does it all mean?" asked Katie looking up to the sky.

I am going to leave on that note. How do you like this Cliffhanger. Stay tuned for what is going at the end of this chapter.

Ok to the question on the last chapter. I was not looking for an answer I just wanted to know how you think of it. Also I thought about it I am going end with another question.

Question:

Many events happen for a reason. What is the reason why the sky is changing colors? A theory of what it could mean would be nice.
