2 hours...

That was how long the ride to the Isle of Armor took. Jaune could feel his butt going numb from the wait, but it was all worth it in the end when he finally arrived at the mysterious Island. He must say he wasn't disappointed.

The island was fairly big, and it look like it had a fairly diverse environment which made it perfect to capture new Pokemon. Now Jaune had no idea what Pokemon called the Isle of Armor their home, and he honestly didn't care. All he cared about was finding new friends to add to his team.

Which is why he was super happy for the flying taxi to land at what appeared to be the drop off station on the Isle of Armor. A few moments later he was allowed to leave the vehicle, which he happily did and made his way into the dropout station. There it looked a lot like the train station he was used to back on mainland Galar, only it look like it accommodated needs for anyone visiting the island. He also noticed the nervous looking young man at the exit.

He approached the young man, who suddenly look towards him and spoke.

"There's a scary looking person at the entrance. I came here to join the dojo, but now I'm having second thoughts."said the young man before he ran off to who knows where.

Jaune wondered why he told them all that when out of nowhere someone entered the train station.

The person was a girl who looked about his age.

She is a slender young woman with fair skin, blue eyes, and pink hair. She also wears pink lipstick and eye shadow and has a mole under her mouth. She wears a wild, unique outfit with many accessories, including a white fur coat, a white and blue moth-like bow with pink circles on it, and a dark purple and green uniform. Her uniform consists of a multicolored collared shirt and dark blue shorts with the number 881 on them. Both her shirt and shorts also have quite a few designs and unique prints on them. For accessories, she also wears a white bracelet on her left wrist, a Dynamax band on her right wrist, a thumbless purple and black glove on her right hand, and a white ring on her left hand. On her feet, she wears pink and white shoes with blue heels and knee-length stockings that have the same colors as her clothes.

The girl who looked about his age looked like she was looking for someone, and when she saw Jaune she approached him.

"You must be the new student for the master dojo. I must say, I wasn't expecting you to be on time."said the girl with a smile on her face.

"Dojo? What dojo?"Jaune inquired, as he had absolutely no idea what she was talking about.

The girl merely smiled at him before turning around and a grim look appeared on her face.

"What is this guy's problem? Here I am, beautiful me, coming all this way to get him and he doesn't even acknowledge being the new student for the dojo. What the frick is his problem."said the girl, not noticing or not caring that Jaune could hear her.

"She sure has a lot of venom in her voice...'said Jaune, who quickly figured out that this woman in front of him was two-faced.

It was clear she was only acting to be super sweet, when her real personality was one of vanity and maliciousness. He didn't know why she was like this, since he just met her and all that. But he had a feeling she was going to be trouble.

"Hmm... Well since you're new to the island, how about we have a battle to see if you're worthy of joining the master dojo."said the girl, whose mood suddenly turned back to chipper and happy.

"I literally don't know what you're talking about. But if it's a Pokemon battle you want, than I'm more than up for it."said Jaune, who wouldn't pass up an opportunity to level up his Pokemon.

"Good. I'll be waiting for you outside, so take as much time as you need. I'm Klara, but you can just call me the beautiful amazing Klara. Either way, you better bring your A game against my poison type Pokemon."said Klara before she walked out of the dropout station.

"So she specializes with poison type Pokemon. I'm really not so sure she should tell people that, but I'm glad she did. Now I can make up some strategies on how to beat her."said Jaune to himself before he went outside to confront Klara.

The girl in question was a bit surprised seeing him come out of the drop off station so soon, but she quickly composed herself and pulled out a pokeball.

"This will be a two versus two battle. I hope you're ready for a beating."said Klara, as Jaune pulled out a pokeball as well.

"Let's do this!"said Jaune with determination.

"Venipede, I choose you!"said Klara, before she threw the pokeball and called out some kind of centipede like Pokemon.

Specifically it is an insectoid Pokémon with a pronounced hump on the upper portion of its body. Its thorax and head are mainly magenta with black markings that consist of rings on its shoulders, a band around each antenna, and an upside-down 'Y' on its neck. A prominent ridge leading down to a pointed tip splits the top half of its head, and its lower jaw is black. It has round, heavy-lidded eyes that bulge away from the head slightly. The Pokemon's dark green abdomen is segmented, and it has four pairs of stubby black legs. Two short feelers banded with black extend from its hindquarters.

"Who's that Pokemon?"wondered Jaune, who pulled out his Pokedex to identify the pokémon in front of him.

(Pokedex: Venipede, the centipede Pokemon. A bug and poison type. Venipede explores its surroundings by sensing vibrations in the air with feelers on its head and tail)

"So it's a bug and poison type. This is something I should expect from someone who says she specializes with poison type Pokemon. Buneary, I choose you!"said Jaune, who decided to start things off with the rabbit Pokemon since he still hasn't earned the trust of the sword Pokemon or the larva Pokemon yet.

Buneary quickly appeared out of her pokeball and she was ready to throw down, based on the fact she was throwing her paws around in a boxing motion.

"Ah, how cute!"said Klara, who found the rabbit Pokemon to be adorable.

"Now let's have this Pokemon battle!"said Klara with determination, as it was clear she was wanting things to move forward.

"Ladies first."said Jaune, giving the girl he just met the first move.

"What a gentleman. Okay, Venipede, use poison tail."ordered Klara, causing the centipede pokémon to surround its tail appendage with poison before it ran towards the rabbit pokémon with the intention of striking her.

"Dodge it!"ordered Jaune, causing the rabbit pokémon to jump out of the way and avoid getting hit with poison tail.

"Use quick attack!"ordered Jaune, causing Buneary to surround herself with white energy before she charged quickly towards Venipede and tackled it.

The centipede Pokemon was quickly pushed back to her trainer's side of the field, and it was clear it was not happy getting hit.

"Use pound!"ordered Jaune, causing Buneary to jump towards the centipede Pokemon and strike it with her ear using pound attack.

"Why you! Venipede, use poison tail again!"orders Klara, causing vanity to surround its tail with poison before it swung it at Buneary.

"Jump out of the way!"orders Jaune, causing Buneary to quickly use her powerful legs to jump out of the way.

"Now let's use that new move we've been working on! Use dig!"ordered Jaune, causing the rabbit Pokemon to jump into the air before she spend like a drill and dived into the dirt, creating a hole as she did so.

She suddenly disappeared underground, confusing Klara.

"Where did she go?"inquired the girl, as both she and her Venipede look around for Buneary.

"Go!"shouted Jaune, and a second later Buneary launched herself from the ground and hit Venipede in the stomach with the super effective move.

As soon as Venipede hit the ground, it was revealed to have been knocked out!

"Venipede!"said Klara, unable to believe that her centipede Pokemon was defeated so easily.

"Phew..."said Jaune, who was glad to have gotten that over with.

"You did a good job, Venipede. Now take a nice long rest."said Klara before we calling Venipede back to its pokeball.

She then proceeded to put the pokeball away before pulling out another from her belt.

"That Buneary has some moves. But let's see how she handles my other Pokemon. Slowpoke, I choose you!"said Klara before tossing the pokeball she was holding.

A second later the pokeball open and release the Pokemon that was inside. The Pokemon in question is a pink Pokemon that resembles a cross between a salamander and a hippopotamus. It has vacant eyes that never seem focused, curled ears, and a rounded, tan muzzle. It has four legs, each of which ends in a single white claw and it has gained yellow colorations on its forehead and tail.

"I've never seen that Pokemon before."said Jaune, who pulled out his Pokedex to identify the new Pokemon in front of him m

(Pokedex: Slowpoke. Galarian form. The Dopey Pokémon. A Psychic type. This form of Slowpoke lives in the Galar region. Their facial expressions are normally spacey, but sometimes, they appear focused. Because they eat Galarica seeds from the Galar region, their tails have a spicy flavor)

"Buneary, I'm going to keep using you."said Jaune, who decided to continue with the rabbit Pokemon.

"Bun bun Buneary!"said the rabbit Pokemon with a thumbs up, as it was clear she was still ready to fight some more.

"Let's see how long you can handle that confidence! Slowpoke, use acid!"ordered Klara, causing the dopey Pokemon to unleash a blast of poison towards the rabbit Pokemon.

"Dodge it!"ordered Jaune, causing the rabbit pokémon to quickly jump.

"Oh no you don't! Use confusion."said Klara, causing the Slowpoke's eyes to being glowing blue.

A second later Buneary was surrounded by psychic energy. This caused her to stay in place before she was hit with acid attack, which knocked her back to her trainer side of the field.

"Buneary! Are you okay?"inquired Jaune, wondering if the rabbit pokémon was okay.

"Bun!"said Buneary as she tried getting back up.

"Use toxic!"ordered Klara, causing Slowpoke to let out of yell.

A moment later Buneary suddenly found herself poisoned!

"Oh no! Buneary!"said Jaune, concerned about his first Pokemon.

"Bun...!"said the rabbit Pokemon, trying to push through the poison to keep on fighting.

"She won't last for much longer! So I think I'll wrap this up with another acid attack."said Klara with confidence, causing Slowpoke to begin preparing to use acid attack.

In that moment Buneary let out what could only be described as a Battle cry before her whole body was surrounded by a yellow energy. She then ran towards Slowpoke and struck it with a powerful move!

"Since when does that Buneary know facade!"said Klara, who recognized the move right away.

"So she learned facade in this very moment to deal with the poison. Since facade becomes even more powerful when a pokémon is poisoned, burned, or paralyzed. Good job, Buneary."said Jaune, super happy about his starter Pokemon learning a new move.

Slowpoke on the other hand was hit with such force that it actually hit Klara, knocking the poison type specialist down before she looked at Slowpoke, who had been knocked out from getting hit with facade.

"Slowpoke!"shouted Klara, unable to believe that her second Pokemon had been defeated.

"Good job, Buneary. Now let me give you some antidote to deal with that poison."said Jaune, who quickly pulled out some medicine from his backpack and handed it to Buneary.

The rabbit Pokemon took the antidote and she was cured from the poison a few seconds later.

"Bun!"said the rabbit Pokemon, feeling much better after being cured of her poison.

"Huh?! No no no! NO no no! Th-there must be some kind of mistake!"said Klara, who appeared not to accept her loss.

"Are you okay?"Jaune asked with concern.

"Not good... Not good at all, man... How'd this kid get so strong?!"said Klara, who appeared to be in her own world.

"Um, are you even listening to me?"said Jaune, even though he could already feel the answer.

"If this kid joins the dojo, nobody's gonna pay attention to my strength... I could just tell him/her to buzz off... No, they asked me to bring in the new student!"said Klara before an idea appeared in her head.

She quickly turned to face Jaune with a smug smile on her face, like she had come up with some kind of master plan or something.

"Ahem! Hey, that wasn't bad! I mean, It's not like I was going all out—not at all—but still! Buutt...you see...our dojo is one that's got a long-standing reputation! Even the famous Champion Leon trained at our place!"said Klara, who appeared to be putting down Jaune despite the fact he won.

"Um, okay."was all Jaune could say.

"No offense, but maybe, just maybe, you're not quiiite good enough to make it? Sooo... how about this? Why not enjoy the sights, but just stay away from the Master Dojo over there, 'K? Here, I'll even give you this! Y'know, as a souvenir!"said Klara before she handed Jaune a black card of some kind.

"What the heck is this?"Jaune said as he inspected the card.

"Just show it when you visit a boutique or a hair salon, and they'll let you buy stuff that's not available to most people! Anyway... I guess that's that! See you never! Hee hee hee!"said Klara before she ran off to who knows where.

Jaune was left ever so confused by the strange girl known as Klara. She had just started assuming that he was some student for a dojo he has never heard of, then she challenges him to a pokémon battle, and when she loses said pokémon battle she runs off while calling him not good enough. Nothing she did in these last couple of moments made any sense to him.

But then he quickly changed his mind and looked at Buneary, feeling like it was time to do something drastic. So he quickly pulled out his other two pokeballs and called out Honedge and Grubbin.

The sword pokémon and the larvae Pokemon were confused by what was going on.

"I've been thinking this whole time, but I think I'm going to give you guys new names. I mean there's nothing wrong with calling you by your Pokemon names. But what if I'm dealing with another trainer using the same Pokemon. That can get confusing, especially if both trainers are calling you guys by the same name. So I think I'll give you guys new names starting here and now."said Jaune, who looked over at Buneary.

"Hmm... From this day for if you will be Juniper. I'll name you after my team name."said Jaune, giving Buneary a new name.

Buneary appear to analyze her new name for a few seconds before liking it. She accepted from this day before she would be known as Juniper.

"Bun!"said Juniper with a thumbs up, accepting her new name.

Jaune smiled at Juniper, happy that she accepted her new name.

He they looked over at Honedge. He thought about calling it by a certain name, but then decided against it. After a few seconds of deliberation, he came up with a new name.

"Honedge, from this day forward you will be Saber. It's a very special sword from where I come from. I don't use it, but it's a cool name nonetheless. So what do you think?"Jaune inquired, wanting to see if the sword Pokemon accepted his new name.

Honedge appeared to deliberate for a second, before nodding his head at his trainer. It appeared he accepted his new name of Saber.

"Good! Now for Grubbin!"said Jaune before he began delivering on what he was going to name the larva Pokemon.

Jaune been looked into his Pokedex to see what Grubbin evolve into and got an idea.

"Okay, from this day for if you are Lucane! It's an Vale word for stag beetle, what's your final evolution appears to resemble. So from this day forth, you are Lucane!"said Jaune, wondering if the larva pokémon would like his new name.

Grubbin appear to analyze the name for a second before finding a kinship with it. He then looked at his trainer and accepted his new name.

"Okay! Now that we have that out of the way! Let's go to the master dojo that Klara girl was talking about and see what it has to offer us. With any luck, they can help me train you three to be even stronger. So Juniper, Saber, Lucane, let's go in the direction Klara ran off to and become stronger together."said Jaune with a chipper attitude.

Juniper happily accepted this, but Saber and Lucane appeared to hesitate at first. Juniper then reminded both of them that Jaune caught them fair and square, so now they had to obey him. After considering it for a few seconds, both Saber and Lucane decided to accept their new trainer for now, since he did give them new names and all that. Now the only question was would he be able to keep up with training them?

There was only one way these three were going to find out! And that was my following their trainer to whatever direction he was heading to. The three pokémon didn't know where they were going as their trainer recalled them back to their pokeballs, but one thing was for certain.

Things were going to get interesting Jaune Arc.
