Chapter 4: Eastward We Go! Onward To Oreburgh City!

As the party made their through Route 203, Michael didn't make any new catches. Which he didn't mind for the time being since all of the Pokémon on Route 203 AND inside Oreburgh Gate were ones that he'd already caught. Then they finally arrived at Oreburgh City.

Michael - "Here we are girls. Welcome to Oreburgh City."

? - "Hey!"

The party looked to see Rarity and Roxanne running over to them. But they weren't alone.

Kronii/Sana - "Biboo!"

Bijou - "Kronii! Sana!"

The three woman hugged each.

Kronii - "If you're here, then that means you and the rest of Advent are challenging the Sinnoh League?"

Bijou - "Yes, we are. And don't think for a second that we're pushovers Michael. Once we all reach the league, the rest of Advent and I intend on giving you the challenge of a lifetime."

Michael - "Good. I look forward to when that happens. Speaking of which, how about a 1-on-1 battle to test each other's strength?"

Bijou - "I'm in."

The party, now with Rarity, Roxanne, and Bijou you joining then, walked over to a battlefield near the Pokémon Center. Roxanne offered to be the referee.

Roxanne - "This a 1-on-1 battle between Bijou Koseki of Driftveil City and Michael Masi of Pokémon Island. The battle will continue until either one or both Pokémon are knocked out. Are both sides ready?"

Bijou - "Go Gigalith!"

Michael - "Empoleon I choose you!"

(Insert Music: Pokémon D/P/Pt OST - Trainer Battle Theme)

Michael Masi (Empoleon)(Wave Incense) Vs. Bijou Koseki (Gigalith)(Muscle Band)

Turn 1

Roxanne - "Begin!"

Bijou - "Super Iron Stone Quake!"

Michael - "Flash Tidal Ice!"

Superpower's Current Power: 120 + 24 (Muscle Band) = 144

Iron Head's Current Power: 80 + 16 (Muscle Band) = 96

Stone Edge's Current Power: 100 + 50 (STAB) = 150 + 30 (Muscle Band) = 180

Earthquake's Current Power: 100 + 20 (Muscle Band) = 120

Super Iron Stone Quake's Current Power: 144 + 96 = 240 + 180 = 420 + 120 = 540 x 2 (Type Advantage) = 1,080 x 0.5 (Type Resistance) = 540 x 0.25 (Double Type Resistance) = 135 x 2 (Type Advantage) = 270

Flash Cannon's Current Power: 80 + 40 (STAB) = 120

Surf's Current Power: 90 + 45 (STAB) = 135 + 27 (Wave Incense) = 162

Flash Tidal Ice's Current Power: 120 + 162 = 282 + 90 = 372 x 2 (Type Advantage) = 744 x 2 (Type Advantage) = 1,488

Bijou watched stunned as Empoleon made quick work of her Gigalith.

(Music Ends)

Roxanne - "Gigalith is unable to battle! Empoleon wins! So Michael Masi wins the battle!"

Bijou - "Well that was a massive backfire on my end."

Michael - "I'll admit you actually had me beat there. Had you just used Superpower and Earthquake together, you'd win. But because you threw Iron Head and Stone Edge into the mix, that decision backfired on you big time."

Bijou - "Boy did it. Oh well. Gigalith and I gave it everything we had."

Michael - "And I expect that from you and the rest of Advent once we reach the league. Also before I forget. Twilight. You, Sabrina, Kronii, and Sana never informed me about where the others are after I returned from Lake Verity."

Twilight - "Sorry Michael. It completely slipped our minds to do that."

Michael - "You're all forgiven. We can go ahead and skip Rarity, Roxanne, and Bijou since they're with us now. As for the others?"

Twilight - "Fauns, Fluttershy, Mumei, and Clair are all in Eterna City. Hearthome City is where Calli, Blake, and Irys are."

Bijou - Nerissa and Shiori are there too."

Sana - "What about Fuwawa and Mococo?"

Bijou - "They're in Veilstone City."

Twilight - "Applejack, Yang, Bae, Flannery, and Kiara are over there too."

Sana - "Then we have our biggest group yet in Pinkie, Bae, Whitney, Gura, Ame, Ina, Rainbow, and Iono all in Pastoria City. Ruby's in Canalave City. Finally Weiss is in Snowpoint City."

Michael - "Why aren't Rainbow and Iono in Sunyshore City?"

Sabrina - "The city suffered a massive blackout DESPITE all of the solar panels they use for the elevated roadways. Anyway, Lt. Surge and Wattson are assisting Volkner with fixing the problem. Meanwhile, Rainbow admitted that she and Iono would act an extra pair of hands for Akira for the time being."

Michael - "That's fair. By the way Bijou, have you challenged the gym yet?"

Bijou - "Sadly no, I haven't yet. The Gym Leader, Roark, has been stuck in the mines for the last day or so now, only coming out to either eat or sleep."

Twilight - "That doesn't sound good."

Michael - "Then let's just go see if he needs anything."

Michael then quickly led the girls into the Oreburgh mine. Upon reaching the deepest part of the mine, they finally found Roark.

Roxanne - "Roark!"

Roark turned to see Michael and the girls running over to him.

Roark - "Oh hello Roxanne. What seems to be the problem?"

Roxanne - "You do realize that you now have TWO gym challengers waiting for you to return?!"

Michael - "You in any rush to challenge him Bijou?"

Bijou - "Not really."

Roark - "Well I do apologize for making the both of you wait at all. Why don't you rest up in the Pokémon Center for tonight. Then you both can challenge me in the morning."

Michael - "That's fine with us."

Michael and the girls then returned to the Pokémon Center, eating dinner and turning in for the night.
