[Galar Region: Isle of Armor]

The Corviknight flying taxis landed on a small island off the coast of eastern Galar. Lincoln, Clyde, Ronnie Anne, Sid, Adelaide, and Bobby were absolutely mesmerized but what they saw before them as they could see many Pokemon they didn't see native to mainland Galar running around the island in seemingly enjoying being able to run around.

"Wow, this place is beautiful "said Lincoln, as this place look like the wild area 2.0.

"I know what you mean Lincoln. I can't take my eyes off this place for even a second."said Clyde in agreement, as he couldn't wait who would join his team with Blipbug and Budew.

"I'm really looking forward to adding some new additions to my team."said Ronnie Anne, and she couldn't wait to give Zigzagoon and Electrike new friends to play with.

"Oh, I'm so excited."said Sid, feeling like she was exploring a new land that not even her mother has seen before as she couldn't wait to interact with the wildlife.

"Soon Ralts will have friends to play with."said Adelaide, and she couldn't wait for her Ralts to have new friends.

Everyone just chuckled along one another as the flying taxis landed and they got off to head to the main area of the station. There they saw a normal looking young man looking like he was extremely upset about something.

"I came to the Isle of Armor in order to join the dojo, but there's a person outside that's really creeping me out."said the young man before he heard someone coming, causing him to flee as fast as he could into a nearby flying taxi.

"Wha?"said Sid as everyone saw who he was talking about.

Stepping into the station was a young woman that look like she was barely out of her teens. She had pink hair and deep blue eyes. She was wearing what you would call a poison themed version of Lincoln's challenge uniform along with a fashionable looking puffy white coat. She also had a hair band around her hair that was in the shape of some kind of Pokemon.

"So you must be the nice young man that it's supposed to join our dojo today."said the young woman as she looked at Lincoln.

"Dojo? What Dojo?"asked Lincoln, wondering what this woman was talking about.

"Oh, you're so silly playing tricks on your new dojo classmate like that? I'm Klara by the way and I'll be escorting you to the dojo."said Klara, as Lincoln could tell she wasn't listening.

"No, really what dojo?"said Lincoln, hoping this time that Klara would listen.

Instead she just turned around and appear to be mumbling to herself.

"Wha is this. Me, the cute Klara came all this way just to pick him up and he's treating me with such a cold attitude, oh but I'm so adorable and cute, and hot to boot. He should really be more grateful."said Klara, as Lincoln's group was wondering what the heck was up with her.

"Well, how about we have a battle and I'll show you how to battle properly."said Klara with a smile on her face.

"Well... I never turn down a challenge for battle."said Lincoln, as Klara smiled at him.

"Good, I'll be waiting outside."said Klara as she began to walk out of the station.

"And get ready to feel the front end of my poison."Klara said to herself, although Lincoln and the others could clearly hear her.

"She's hot, but there's clearly a screw loose with that one."said Clyde, as Klara was beautiful in a conventional sense but she appeared to be what in layman's terms would describe as... unhinged..

"Should we just try to avoid her?"asked Sid, as they thought this was really none of their business if the guy who was supposed to join their dojo ran off.

"No, I meant that level of crazy before and trust me. There is no way she'll let us pass unless Lincoln battles her in a Pokemon battle."said Ronnie Anne, as she could tell Klara wouldn't give them an easy time until Lincoln battles her.

"Well... we did come to the Isle of Armor to train. I suppose I have no choice but to take her up on her challenge."said Lincoln, as he and the others stepped out of the station.

"Finally, how about we make this a two on two Pokemon battle."said Klara what an excited tone in her voice.

"Your on!"said Lincoln, as Klara pulled out a Pokeball.

"Venipede, take the stage!"said Klara as she called out a red centipede like Pokemon.

Lincoln didn't know this Pokemon so he pulled out his Pokedex and switched to the Isle of armor section to get better data.

Pokedex: Venipede, the centipede Pokemon. Venipede and Sizzlipede are similar species. But when the two meet, a huge fighting ensues.

"So you're a bug and poison type."said Lincoln, who felt like he had to choose a Pokemon wisely.

"Corvisquire, I choose you!"yelled Lincoln, as he called out the raven Pokemon for battle.

"Corvi!"exclaimed the raven Pokemon as it looked down at the centipede Pokemon, ready for battle.

"A flying type? Well let's see how you're flying type like poison sting!"said Klara as the centipede Pokemon fired a barrage of poisonous needles at the raven Pokemon.

"Corvisquire, use pluck!"instructed Lincoln, causing Corvisquire to out maneuver the poison thing before striking Venipede with pluck, causing super effective damage as the centipede Pokemon was struck with the flying type move!

"Venipede, use poison tail!"instructed Klara as Venipede covered it's tail and poison before striking the raven Pokemon, causing damage as Corvisquire fell back!

"Use peck!"ordered Lincoln as Corvisquire quickly recovered before striking Venipede with peck!

"Ven!"exclaimed the centipede Pokemon as it's staggered back.

"Now finish with pluck!"ordered Lincoln, as Corvisquire covered it's mouth in energy and struck the centipede Pokemon, sending Venipede back to Klara, revealing that the centipede Pokemon have been knocked out!

"Venipede! My poor Venipede!"said Klara as she hugged the centipede Pokemon tightly in her arms.

"Okay, how about we move to the next round."said Lincoln, feeling kind of bad that he made a girl cry even if she was being weird.

"Woah."said Adelaide, impressed that the raven Pokemon managed to finish that fight very quickly.

"Man, Lincoln has gotten really strong traveling alone here in Galar."said Bobby, as it was clear Lincoln was on a different level.

"No kidding."said Ronnie Anne, who wasn't sure if even she could take on Lincoln at his current level.

"Way to go buddy."said Clyde, as Lincoln recalled Corvisquire!

"I'll show you the true power of poison! Slowpoke come on out!"said Klara, as she called out of pink bear like Pokemon with a seemingly lost in space expression on its face.

Clyde pulled out his Pokedex to identify the Pokemon in front of him, before remembering the Isle of Armor version in order to get a better reading.

Pokedex: Slowpoke, the dopey Pokemon. Although this Pokemon is normally zoned out, expression abruptly sharpens on occasion. The cause of this seems to lie in Slowpoke's diet.

Slowpoke in Galar are psychic/poison types.

"So this Pokemon is a regional variant like my Farfetch'ed."said Lincoln, as this was only the third time he has run into a regional variant.

"Yeah, Slowpoke is my partner and along with Venipede, both are close to evolving!"said Klara with confidence.

"Alright then, then I choose...Raboot, I choose you!"exclaimed Lincoln, as he called out the rabbit Pokemon for battle.

"Ra boot!"exclaimed Raboot as he faced his opponent.

"Slowpoke use water gun!"ordered Klara, as Slowpoke immediately fired a blast of water at Raboot, causing super effective damage as the water type move hit the rabbit Pokemon.

"Smart, now let's see how you like our flame charge!"ordered Lincoln, as Raboot quickly recovered and surrounded himself with flames before striking slowpoke with the fire type move while at the same time gaining speed.

"Slowpoke, use acid!"ordered Klara, as the dopey Pokemon fired a blast of poison from its mouth.

"Dodge and use double kick!"ordered Lincoln.

Raboot quickly did as he was instructed and jumped out of the way in time before jumping again towards the dopey Pokemon and striking Slowpoke with double kick, not doing a lot of damage as Slowpoke was psychic and poison.

"Slowpoke, confusion!"instructed Klara, as Slowpoke's eyes began to glow as Raboot was lifted up into the air with psychic energy before he was slammed down hard, causing damage.

"Rab!"exclaimed the rabbit Pokemon as he got up.

"Use ember!"ordered Lincoln as Raboot fired a blast of flame from its mouth, causing Slowpoke damage as it flinched.

"Now finish this off with flame charge!"ordered Lincoln, as Raboot once again surrounded himself with flames before charging at the dopey Pokemon with great speed, striking Slowpoke with flame charge and knocking the dopey Pokemon out as soon as it landed.

"Slowpoke!"said Klara as she ran over to see if the dopey Pokemon was okay.

"Slo...slo...poke.."said the dopey Pokemon, has always been a few scratches it was okay.

"I'm so glad you're okay, girl."said Klara as she recalled the dopey Pokemon back to its Pokeball.

Klara then took a deep breath before she turned around.

"What am I going to do? I can't have a trainer this strong join the dojo, otherwise no one's going to pay attention to me anymore! I need to think of something, think Klara, think!"said Klara to herself has she came up with an idea.

"You know, only the best trainers and all of Galar can become part of the dojo. Why the current champion, Leon was once a student here. I think it's a little bit too hard for you guys so why don't you just explore the island and ignore the huge building."said Klara before she ran off, satisfied that she convinced them not to go to the dojo.

"That girl is weird."said Lincoln, to which his friends nodded their heads in agreement.

"I think we should go to the dojo."said Ronnie Anne.

"Yeah, who is she to stop us."said Lincoln, not willing to listen to some crazy stranger he only met a few minutes ago.

"Agreed!"said Sid and Adelaide at the same time.

"Yeah, besides this dojo sounds like the perfect place where we can train up our Pokemon."said Clyde, as everyone began going into Klara ran off in.

-=O=-

A short while later the group arrived at what look like a building of Japanese design with with what look like the face of a bear growling as it's symbol. There they saw Klara speaking to a young looking woman wearing a green blouse and like khaki pants.

"I see... well that's a shame. Oh, it appears that the student you were talking about changed his mind."said the woman, as Klara looked over and look like she was going to have a heart attack upon seeing Lincoln and the others.

"Yes, I guess he and his friends must have decided to come after all."said Klara, clearly trying to save face.

"Welcome to the master dojo, I'm Honey, and I'm what you would call the caretaker of this dojo."said Honey as she came over and greeted Lincoln and the others.

"Um, yeah. I believed I signed up for this Dojo. My name is Lincoln by the way, and it's very nice to meet you Miss Honey."said Lincoln as he shook Miss Honey's hand, and was surprised to see how strong her grip strength was.

"Wow, strong grip."said Ronnie Anne, after shaking hands with Miss Honey.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow."said Bobby as he was shaking hands with Miss Honey.

"Nice to meet you."said Clyde as he shook her hand, also surprised by how strong her grip was.

"Yeah, we're looking forward to learning."said Sid, as she almost let out of tear from the grip strength Miss Honey had.

"Ow!"said Adelaide.

"Sorry, sometimes I Don't know my own strength."said Honey with a smile, as the group wondered how strong she was when she got serious.

"Well Lincoln I'm glad you and your friends decided to stop by the dojo today, and I'm glad to have you as a student."said Honey, although she was sure that the student coming today wasn't named Lincoln.

But maybe she just mistook the name.

"Anyway, let's head inside and I'll introduce you to the dojo master, who is also my darling hubby."said Honey as she went inside.

"Listen up, don't you dare tell Miss Honey about what happened or you'll feel the full sting of poison."said Klara with yandere eyes, causing the group to nod their head in agreement as last thing you really wanted was to mess with crazy.

Klara looks satisfied by their answer as she ran after Miss honey.

"Well guys, we came this far might as well see it through to the end."said Lincoln, as he and the others entered the master dojo.

All the while a small bear like Pokemon was watching Lincoln from afar.
