[Galar: Route 3]

Morning came on route three of the Galar region. The many wild Pokemon who called the route their home got up and began to move around to begin their day. Meanwhile in a orange tent a certain aspiring trainer was also getting up from his sleeping back to begin the day.

"Uaaaaahhhh!"yawned Lincoln as he got up from his sleeping bag and began stretching his arms out.

Lincoln then began rubbing his eyes looking around in his tent. He was confused for about five seconds before remembering where he was.

"Dang I wonder if I'll ever get used to the fact that I'm literally on the other side of the world."said Lincoln as he got out of his sleeping bag and began to change out of his pajamas.

Once he was in his normal trainer outfit did Lincoln take out his pokeballs to release all of his Pokemon!

"Come on out everyone!"exclaimed Lincoln as he tossed his pokeballs in the air letting his Pokemon out and about.

"Come and get it guys it's time for breakfast."said Lincoln as he was pouring Pokemon food into food bowls that he took out of his trainer cube.

The Pokemon immediately ran over and began eating while making sure they went to the food bowls that had their names on it as the Pokemon food was different for each Pokemon.

Scorbunny was eating spicy Pokémon food.

Chewtle was eating mild Pokémon food.

Rookidee was eating sour Pokémon food.

And Butterfree was eating sweet Pokémon food.

Each Pokemon was eating the Pokemon food to their preference.

Lincoln meanwhile watched as his Pokemon ate as he took out several cereal bars and began eating them as normally he would have been eating his cereal with milk but because he was on the road and milk was known to spoil without proper refrigeration he decided to eat from cereal bars instead.

"Today I make it to Turffield... I wonder how I will do against the gym leader Milo. I mean three of my Pokemon have a type advantage but I shouldn't underestimate him as last thing you should do is underestimate your enemy... sometimes you learn the hard way you should never do that."said Lincoln to himself as he took a bite of his cereal bar.

-=O=-

After breakfast Lincoln returned all of his Pokemon back to their pokeballs as he continued making his way to Galar Mines, as that was the only way to get to Turffield.

Within an hour when can arrive at a huge cave with the sign on top saying Galar Mines...!

"Few I finally made it and only took several Pokemon battles with the wild Pokemon to do it."said Lincoln as he turned around revealing several knocked out Zigzagoon that were being pulled away by their companions that were not knocked out.

"I really want to catch one but every time I try to several get in the way preventing me from doing that...man these Pokemon really get along with one another."said Lincoln as he took a deep breath before walking into Galar Mines.

As he expected there was a bunch of railroad tracks for minors to put the ore into mining carts before they were shipped away to the factory nearby to be converted into energy.

"Man chairman Rose sure has a lot of people on the payroll."said Lincoln as there was a bunch of minors and Pokemon working hard in the mines and they didn't seem to pay him much attention.

Lincoln figured this is because Turffield is directly next to the mines and since a lot of trainers and gym challengers go there to challenge the gym leader he bet that's why the miners paid him no mind as he wasn't the first traveler to pass through the mines.

"Well I better get moving but I also should make sure I read the signs carefully as last thing I want is to get lost in these tunnels."said Lincoln City again following the train tracks to see if they lead to a way out.

As Lincoln was following the tracks very carefully he noticed several Pokemon working with the miners and with nothing better to do he decided to pull out his Pokedex to identify them.

Pokedex: Timburr, the muscular Pokemon. It loves helping out with construction projects. It loves it's so much that if rain causes work to halt, it swings it's log around and throws a tantrum.

Pokedex: Drilbur, the mole Pokemon. It brings its claws and worlds around at high speed before rushing towards its prey.

Pokedex: Woobat, the bat Pokemon. While inside a cave if you look up and see lots of heart-shaped marks lining the wall. It's evidence that Woobat live there.

Pokedex: Rolycoly, the coal Pokemon. Most of its body has the same composition as coal. Fittingly, this Pokemon was discovered in the coal mines about four hundred years ago.

Pokedex: Carkol, the coal Pokemon. It forms coal inside it's body. Coal dropped by this Pokemon once helped fuel the lives of the people in the Galar region.

"Wow so many Pokemon helping these miners out."said Lincoln as he continued making his way through the minds and making sure not to get lost in a dead end tunnel.

As Lincoln was passing through he carefully made his way through each tunnel while reading the science carefully and walking the wooden bridge carefully as being too reckless could surely make the bridge collapse despite the fact they look very sturdy.

After passing a few more tunnels and minors Lincoln finally found the sign that said that Turffield was straight ahead!

"Finally! I have no idea how long I was in those mines."said Lincoln as he began running ahead only to stop when he spotted something.

"That is a familiar looking jacket."said Lincoln as he recognized the jacket as belonging to the jerk he and Hop encounter when they were trying to register back in Monostoke stadium.

"I just you turn around otherwise you will get a beating out of me and my Pokemon."said the young man as he started to rub his hand against his hair like it was a comb.

Lincoln couldn't help but be reminded of a certain arrogant sister so he didn't listen to him and approached!

"Well I see you don't listen to good advice."said the arrogant trainer as he looked at Lincoln.

"I know you. You're one of the trainers endorsed by the champion... ridiculous! You do realize that the chairman is more important than the champion and since I was endorsed by the chairman himself that means I'm a better Pokemon trainer than you. I'm Bede so prepare to get the defeat of your life from the hands of my Pokémon!"said Bede in a mocking voice.

"Okay you got endorsed by the chairman so what?! I cannot stand that mouth of yours as it reminds me too much of a certain person back home!"said Lincoln as he pulled out a Pokeball to get ready for battle.

Bede did the same only he pulled out a great ball which was like a regular Pokeball only was blue with red stripes and had a greater success rate of catching Pokemon.

"Butterfree I choose you!"

"Solosis stand by for battle!"

Both the butterfly Pokemon in the cell Pokémon appeared in front of one another and stared each other down as Lincoln pulled out his Pokedex to identify the Pokemon in front of him.

Pokedex: Solosis, the cell Pokémon. it communicates with others telepathically. It's body is encapsulated in liquid, but if it takes a heavy blow the liquid will leak out.

"Butterfree used gust!"ordered Lincoln as Butterfree begin flapping its wings at a rapid Pace releasing gusts of wind at Solosis.

"Solosis endeavor!"ordered Bede as the cell Pokémon use the very powerful attack against Butterfree causing significant damage.

"Butterfree bug bite!"ordered Lincoln as Butterfree bit Solosis with the super effective move causing significant damage!

"Finish with tackle!"ordered Lincoln as the butterfly Pokemon struck Solosis with tackle attack knocking the cell Pokémon out as it fell to the floor.

Bede look like he was angry but he didn't say anything as he recalled his Pokémon back to its great ball as Lincoln recalled Butterfree back to its Pokeball.

"Rookidee I choose you!"

"Gothita stand by for battle!"ordered Bede as both Pokemon came out of their respective Pokeballs.

Lincoln didn't recognize the Pokémon Here called out so he took out his pokédex to identify the Pokemon in front of him.

Pokedex: Gothita, the fixation Pokemon. Though they're still only babies, there's psychic power is stored in there ripping like feelers, and sometimes they use that power to fight.

"I guess you specialize in psychic type Pokemon."said Lincoln as he was thinking of a strategy to use Rookidee to the best of his abilities!

"of course I do now let's battle. Gothita psybeam!"ordered Bede as Gothita fired psychic type energy beams from its eyes hitting Rookidee and causing some damage.

"Rookidee use peck!"ordered Lincoln and Rookidee responded in kind by striking the fixation Pokemon with the flying type move causing damage.

"Gothita used rock throw!"ordered Bede.

"Dodge it!"exclaimed Lincoln as Rookidee barely avoided the super effective rock type move.

"Use power trip max power!"

"Gothita use rock throw max power as well!"ordered Bede

Both Pokémon began making their way towards one another with Rookidee successfully striking the fixation Pokemon with the super effective move but Gothita did the same to Rookidee!

A small dust cloud formed around the Pokemon and when it settled it was revealed that both of them were knocked out.

Bede look like he was pleased but angry at the same time as he recalled his Pokemon back to its great ball.

"You did a great job out there buddy you more than deserve a good rest."said Lincoln as he recalled his Pokemon.

"So I'm down to my final Pokemon but I saved my best for last."said Bede with confidence as he pulled out another great ball.

"Really me too."said Lincoln as he pulled out a Pokeball.

"Hateena stand by for battle!"ordered Bede.

"Scorbunny I choose you!"exclaimed Lincoln as he called out his starter Pokemon.

Lincoln did not know the Pokemon in front of them so he pulled out his Pokedex to identify it.

Pokedex: Hateena, the calm Pokemon. Via the prostitution on its head, it sends his other creatures emotions. If you don't have a c* disposition it will never warm up to you.

Both the rabbit Pokemon and the calm Pokémon stared each other down ready to take each other on as soon as their trainers gave the order.

"Hateena disarming voice!"ordered Bede as his Pokemon fired it's very type attack from its mouth hitting the rabbit Pokemon but it did very little damage.

"Hah Scorbunny is a fire type which means very tight moves won't be very effective!"said Lincoln with confidence.

"Hateena use psybeam!"ordered Bede as Hateena fired a blast of psychic energy from its eyes.

"Scorbunny use ember to counter!"ordered Lincoln is the rabbit Pokemon began firing blast after blast of ember to avoid getting hit by the calm pokémon's attacks.

"Scorbunny quick attack!"ordered Lincoln as Scorbunny struck Hateena with the super fast attack.

"Hateena use psybeam again!"ordered Bede.

"Oh no you don't quick attack!"quickly ordered Lincoln as the rabbit Pokemon struck Hateena preventing it from using its move.

"Finish with ember!"ordered Lincoln in the rabbit Pokémon complied by firing the fire type move at the psychic type Pokemon.

As soon as Hateena fell to the floor after being struck with ember it was revealed to have been knocked out!

"NO!"yelled Bede who couldn't believe he lost!

"Great job Scorbunny!"said Lincoln as he and his partner Pokemon high fived.

Bede meanwhile didn't say anything as he recalled his Pokemon while Lincoln did the same.

"Well I suppose I should congratulate you for beating me even though you locked out this time. But that won't happen in the future as I analyze your battling style."said Bede in a mocking and still arrogant tone.

"I honestly don't care if I lost as next time it will be different but for now I accomplish my goal by grabbing all the wishing stars in these mines."said Bede as he walked away but not before purposely knocking into Lincoln before he left.

Lincoln barely kept his balance as he stared at Bede with daggers.

"Jerk."said Lincoln before continuing his way to Turffield.
