Team Johto has arrived in Johto after walking out of the portal. They arrived at a place with a few houses with a lake east of them and Hoppips gliding about in the wind.
"So… where are we?" Tyler asked.
"I don't know, but the place feels nice." Katie stated.
"And the Pokémon look cute too." DJ added.
"Yeah yeah, but exactly do we do? Chris didn't tell us what to do once we got here." Scott said.
"Scott's right. We need a plan." Courtney added as Scott glared at her.
"Well why don't we ask someone around here." DJ suggested.
"Good idea. My great great great-"
No one cares Staci!" Scott yelled at her.
"Anyways, we should do as DJ said." Katie agreed.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Amy asked impatiently as they all started to look around and look for answers.
Confession Starts
Scott: Wow, I was actually surprised that Courtney would agree to my idea. {He huffs} Doesn't mean we're cool. She drew me a rat's tail!
Courtney: While I can't be able to apologize to Gwen, I could start with apologizing to Scott, even though I was going to plan to take him to the finals with me in All-Stars but he's still mad at me for some reason. I just have to wait till the times right like Bridgette said as make things right with Scott.

They started looking around until DJ came up to a large house with stairs by the side of it. He also saw a red-haired boy looking outside the window of the house. He shrugged it off and knocked on the door. The door opened, revealing a middle age man with a lab coat and a pair of glasses.
"Oh hello there. You must be one of the contestants that Chris mentioned." The man said who was Professor Elm, as DJ nodded.
"Yes sir I am." DJ answered as he yelled out, "Guys, over here!" The others rushed over to him to meet the man.
"Wow, good job DJ." Katie thanked.
"It's nice to see you all. If you all will come inside so we can continue this conversation." Elm said as the others went inside the house which turned out to be a lab.
"Now before we continue, might I ask you all your names?" Elm asked.
"Sure, I'm Katie." Katie greeted.
"I'm Courtney."
"My name is DJ sir."
"Sup, I'm Tyler."
"Amy."
"I'm Scott and this is Staci." Scott said as she was about to say something, but Scott's glare stopped her.
"It's nice to meet you all. My name is Professor Elm. Now before I explain your first challenge, do you all know anything about my research?" Elm asked.
"No, none of us do." Amy answered rudely, "heck, we don't anything about this place."
"I see. Well as you have been told, Pokémon are carried in Pokeballs these days. But before the Pokeball was invented, people used to walk with Pokemon." He explained.
"Wait, I thought you need the Pokeball to catch Pokemon." Courtney said.
"That is correct, Pokeballs are great because you can catch many Pokemon with them. But walking with Pokemon must have some advantages. It could have something to do with how Pokemon grow or evolve…" He explained once more.
"So you're saying if we let them out of their Pokeballs, they can become a lot stronger?" Courtney asked.
"Yes." Elm answered as Scott raised a brow.
Confession Starts
Scott: So you can make Pokemon stronger by walking with them huh? That's good to know, since there is no voting, I have to rely on them to help me. But thing is… {shows Totodile's Pokeball} this one reminds me too much of Fang and that in itself brings back bad memories. Just really hope it doesn't bite me.
Confession Ends
"So what I'm asking is if you guys can walk besides your Pokemon, outside of its Pokeball, to see if it brings any special feelings or bond between Pokemon and people?" Elm asked.
"Sure thing sir. Come out little guy." DJ said as he unlocked his Pokeball, releasing his Chikorita who was happy to see him.
"Chika!" Chikorita said happily.
"Aww, I want to try it too." Katie said as she released her Chikorita as she ran over to DJ's Chikorita and ran over to greet it.
"I'm in." Tyler said as he released Cyndaquil as he jumped up to Tyler's shoulder.
"Ugh, fine." Amy said as she begrudgingly released her Cyndaquil as she looked up at her trainer.
"Sure." Staci said as she released her Totodile and as she did, he jumped up to her and bit her head.
"Ahhhh!" Staci screamed in pain as she ran around, trying to get her partner to stop biting her head. DJ & Tyler went to help her pry Totodile off her head.
"Well, I might as well." Courtney said, completely ignoring Staci as she released Cyndaquil as he rubbed against her leg. All that was left was Scott who looked nervous.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" DJ asked.
"I don't know, I really don't want my Pokemon biting my head." Scott explained.
"Just do it already!" Amy exclaimed.
"Hey, leave him alone!" Courtney yelled back as she turned to Scott. "Scott, don't worry. DJ & Tyler will help you if that happens, right you two." Courtney said as she glared at the two as they frighteningly nodded. Scott, shocked that Courtney of what she said, finally gave in.
"Fine." Scott said as he released Totodile and instead of him biting his head like Staci's Totodile did to her, he did a little dance for him.
"See? That wasn't so bad." Courtney said.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Scott said, happy that his partner didn't bite his head.
Confession Starts
DJ: It was really nice of Courtney to encourage Scott like that. Really comes to show you how far she's really come.
Amy: {She huffs with her arms crossed} How dare she speak to me like that. If had Samey with me, I totally would have made her do something embarrassing to her. I need someone to do my bidding and fast.
Confession Ends
"I'm so glad that you guys are fond of your Pokemon." Elm said as he turned towards a machine. "If your Pokemon are hurt just use this machine and it'll heal them right back up."
Then his laptop made a ding noise. "Oh, hey! I got an email!" He said as he looked at the email. "…Hm… Uh-huh… Ok…" He looked back at the team. "Hey guys, listen. I have an acquaintance that people call Mr. Pokemon. He keeps finding weird things and raving about his discoveries. Anyway, I just got an email from him saying that this time its real."
"What's the thing he found?" Katie asked.
"It was a Pokemon egg. It usually contains a Pokemon inside that'll hatch in one day." Elm explained, "He said that the one he found was special and would like me to look at it but I'm certainly busy right now."
"And you want us to get it." Scott said, putting the pieces together.
"Correct. Chris has told me that you have to complete tasks for you all to complete. Just think of this as your first task." He said.
"You got it sir but where do we find him?" DJ asked.
"He lives North of Cherrygrove City which is west from here." He explained.
"Go west, then north, and get the egg. Sounds simple enough." Scott said.
"Right, let's just get this over with." Amy said, not wanting to waste any time. They started to go to the door when a scientist came up to them.
"Excuse me but the Professor forgot to mention these." The scientist said as he gave each of them a potion.
"What are these?" Courtney asked.
"These are potions. You spray them on your Pokemon if they ever get hurt." He explained.
"Instant medicine? Sweet!" Tyler said as he and Cyndaquil high-fived.
"Well good luck to you all." The scientist said as Team Johto walked out the door. When they got outside, Scott was then tackled to the ground by a Marill.
"Ow! what the heck!" Scott grunted.
"Wow, it's so cute!" Katie exclaimed as Amy laughed at his misfortune. Then a girl ran up to them.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! My Marill just ran away from me." The girl apologized as Marill got off of him and Scott stood up, wiping the dirt off of him.
"It's fine." Scott said.
"Wow, your Pokemon is so cute! What's his name?" Katie asked.
"Thank you. Her name is Marill." The girl answered as Marill cheered happily.
"Hey, so do you have any idea what our starters are called?" Scott asked.
"Oh sure, that one is a Chikorita, that one is a Cyndaquil, and that one is a Totodile." The girl answered again as the others looked at their starters.
"Cyndaquil huh? Cool name." Tyler said, thinking it's an awesome name.
"Anyways, thank you. I'm Courtney." Courtney greeted.
"I'm DJ."
"I'm Katie."
"Scott."
"I'm Tyler."
"Do I have to?" Amy asked in annoyance as Courtney shot her a glare. "Fine, I'm Amy. There, happy now?"
"I'm Staci and did you know that my great great-"
"No he didn't Staci!" Team Johto yelled at her.

Staci: Was it something I said?

Getting over the certain outburst, the girl introduced herself.
"It's nice to meet you all. My name is Lyra." Lyra greeted, "what are you guys doing right now?"
"We have to collect an egg for the Professor." DJ answered.
"Oh, okay. Well I have to go. It was nice seeing you all." Lyra said as she and Marill left the group.
"She was nice." DJ said.
"Yeah, yeah, can we go now?" Amy asked, getting impatient. As they started to leaver New Bark Town, a voice called out to them.
"Wait!"
"Ugh, what now!?" Amy yelled in anger as they all see Professor Elm running towards them with something in his arms.
"I almost completely forgot about these." Elm said as he passed out 7 red tablets to each of them. "These are called Pokegear. It's a device that contains a map, radio, and a phone to contact me if anything happens."
"Do the others have something like this?" Scott asked.
"No, different teams will get different tools for them to help with traveling." He explained, "well, that's everything. I'll call you all if something comes up and will be waiting for you to collect the egg. Best of luck." And with that, he left.
"Wow, these look cool." Tyler said, liking the design of the Pokegear, his Cyndaquil nodding.
"Well, now that we have everything, I think we should get going." Courtney suggested as the others nodded and left New Bark Town.
Confession Starts
Katie: Do you guys see how cute that Marill was? It was adorable! I just wished Sadie was here to see it too.
Scott: {Looks at his Potion} I wonder how this works {accidently sprays it in his eyes} Agh!
Confession Ends
Team Johto was currently walking thru Route 29, on their way to Cherrygrove City. Meanwhile, the others engaged in a conversation.
"This place looks nice. I wonder we'll find any Pokemon here like that Marill." Katie said.
"Or maybe we'll find some that'll hurt us." Scott teased as the others didn't look amused.
"Moving on, I think that sign said that Cherrygrove City is straight ahead, just have to get thru this tall grass." Courtney explained. Suddenly, there was a certain rustle in the grass.
"Hey, you guys heard that, right?" Tyler asked.
"Yeah, I heard that. Sounded like animal noises." DJ said.
"So a Pokemon?" Amy asked as suddenly a Rattata popped up from the grass latched onto Staci.
"Ahh, help! My grandfathers didn't invent stuff that can help with this." She cried out as Scott rolled his eyes.
Confession Starts
Scott: Probably the only truth she has ever told.
Confession Ends
"I got this! Cyndaquil, tackle that rat!" Tyler called out as Cyndaquil nodded and tackle the Rattata off of Staci and onto the ground. The Rattata, now mad, shake the dirt off him and glared at Cyndaquil in which he burrowed his brows.
"Tyler, you attack that innocent rat!" DJ exclaimed in fear.
"It was attacking her, what was I going to do?" He asked as Rattata rushed his Cynadquil tackled him back, knocking him on his back.
"Cyndaquil, you good dude!" He called out to him as Cyndaquil flipped back over, nodding to his trainer. "Great, now tackle him again!" Cyndaquil then rush Rattata, tackling him again to the ground. Rattata, now furious, rushed him again to try and tackle him again.
"Dodge it!" Tyler yelled as Cyndaquil jumped to the side, avoiding his tackle. "Now tackle him again!" After dodging, Cyndaquil tackled Rattata's side, knocking him down once more, this time not getting up.
"Woo-hoo! Nice job Cyndaquil!" Tyler praised him as he picked up Cynadquil and hold him up, him smiling at his partner.
"Thanks Tyler." Staci thanked.
"Guys, what about him, he's seriously hurt." DJ said worryingly.
"Seriously? It's just a dumb rat." Amy said, not really caring as she then heard more rustling in the tall grass. She looked down to see five more Rattatas glaring at her.
"Ahhh!" Amy screamed as she jumped in DJ's arms. The Rattatas slowly crept up to them.
"Guys, we got company!" Tyler called out.
"What's your first idea. Totodile, ready to do this?" he asked as Totodile happily nodded. "Great, now attack those rats!"
"You too Cyndaquil, tackle them!" Courtney also called out as Totodile and Courtney's Cyndaquil attacking them, Totodile scratching one and Cyndaquil tackling the other.
"Right Cyndaquil, help them out!" Tyler called out as Cyndaquil then ran into help as then he suddenly let out a bunch of smoke from his back, causing the others to cough from the smoke.
"{coughs}, what the heck Tyler!" Courtney yelled out, coughing from the smoke.
"How was I supposed to know?! {Coughs coughs}" He said back also coughing.
"Whatever, now's our chance! Let's get out of here!" Scott exclaimed as the others didn't needed to be told twice as they all ran out of the smoke cloud, Totodile and the two Cyndaquils following suit after losing them for a second. After making sure they're far away, they stop running.
"{pants} Phew, that was close." Tyler said, out of breath.
"Yeah, too close for comfort." Scott added, not as enthusiastic as him.
"Tyler, how did your Cyndaquil did that?" Katie asked.
"I don't even know, but it sure came in handy." Tyler answered as Cyndaquil happily nodded.
"Ugh, why didn't you do that!?" Amy asked angrily to her Cyndaquil and looked at DJ who was still holding her, "and let go of me!" He panicked but gently put her on the ground.
"Well, maybe we shouldn't have attack that rat. Those were probably his friends trying to help him." He said, not really happy that he couldn't help them.
"In any case, thanks Tyler, you really helped." Courtney thanked as Tyler gave a double thumbs up.
"Whatever, can we go on now, I don't want to deal with anymore rats." Amy said, not as happy as she went on the others glaring at her.
Confession Starts
Katie: {glaring} I can't believe her. She didn't thank the others for helping her. Even Courtney said thanks to Tyler and I thought she was also a big meanie.
Tyler: {with Cyndaquil on his shoulder} Man, I don't know what her problem is. Do you have any idea, Cyndaquil?
Cyndaquil: Cynda. {not really knowing what her problem is either.}
Courtney: I don't like Amy. She reminds me to much of… {she shivers} me back in the older seasons and especially World Tour when Duncan cheated on me with Gwen. But I've changed, for the most part, while I will still be competitive and win, I should be a lot nicer to the others.
Amy: I don't care what the others think. My Cyndaquil was just as useless as Samey when it came to helping me.
Confession Ends
The others have finished crossing Route 29 and have entered Cherrygrove City. It was made up of several small houses, a Pokemon Center, and a Pokemart.
"This must be Cherrygrove City." DJ said, admiring his surroundings
"Great, now we have to go north, and we'll find Mr. Pokemon." Courtney said and before they can go, they heard a loud voice they were familiar with.
"Bout time y'all showed up." The voice yelled to them as it was revealed to be Chef.
"Chef? You're Mr. Pokemon?!" Scott asked in shock.
"No shark bait I'm not, I'm just here to explain bits of the game to you maggots." Chef explained, "Now, follow me." Chef walked over to the Pokemon Center a bit faster than the others. "This right here is the Pokemon Center. You'll find one of these in every town and city you'll come across. It's basically a Pokemon version of a hospital and a bed and breakfast. Best f all, it's free." He explained as Scott raised a brow.
Confession Starts
Scott: So, Pokemon get unlimited health care in this world and we humans don't. Yeah, that's so not fair. But still, good to know.
Confession Ends
"Sweet." Tyler commented.
"You hear that Chikorita, you can be healed here." DJ said to his partner.
"Chika!" She said happily.
"Right, come on, we don't have all day." Chef said as the others continued following him, for some reason trying to keep up with him as he walking faster than usual, to a building with a blue roof. "This is a Pokemart. This is where you'll buy potions, medicines, and food for you and your Pokemon. Unlike the Pokemon Center however, its gonna cost money."
"Great." Amy said sarcastically.
"Shut up!" He yelled, "now this way!" The others followed Chef, trying to keep up.
"Is it just me or is Chef faster than usual?" Katie asked to Courtney.
"It's not you." Courtney answered as they were brought to the entrance of Route 30.
"Right, this route will lead to Mr. Pokémon's house. However, there are trainers who will want to battle you so be on guard." He explained as he lead them to the open sea.
"As you can see, this is the sea. Chris wanted me to tell you that Pokemon can also be found here and some exclusively in the water." He explained. "Now that raps up this tour. Any questions?"
"Yeah, how is it that you're faster than usual?" Courtney asked.
"I was just about get to that before you interrupted me." Chef yelled as Courtney rolled her eyes, "Here, Chris wanted me to give you all this." He threw a large box onto the ground in front of the team. In them, were seven pairs of shoes.
"Those are called running shoes. They'll make any user who wears them walk or run faster than usual." Chef explained.
"Do we have to? They don't look so fashionable." Katie asked.
"I'll try them." Tyler suggested as he put on the shoes and when he walked, he walked faster than usual. "Wow, they do make you walk faster."
"And comfy too." Scott added, also putting them on.
"Well that's everything, just go north and you'll find his house. Good luck, you'll all probably need it." Chef said as he went off to New Bark Town and left Team Johto.
"Well now that we have these shoes, we can get to Mr. Pokemon faster." Courtney said, liking the idea.
"Great, then lets do this." Tyler cheered as they all began to go thru Route 30, not encountering not as much Pokemon as they did on Route 29. They continued walking until Scott noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
"Well well, what do we have here?" He asked to himself as he walked over to the object that was laying in the grass. It was a Pokeball-shaped box.
"Hey Scott, what did you find?" DJ asked as the others went over to where Scott was.
"I don't know." He answered as he opened the box to reveal a potion.
"A potion?" Courtney said, confused onto why a potion was in a box.
"What is that doing here?" Staci asked.
"Well whatever, it's ours now." Tyler said.
"Um, hate to break this to you, but its actually mine now." Scott corrected him.
"What? But that's not fair! We're supposed to be a team." Amy exclaimed.
"I don't know if you remember the rules, but while we may be on teams, its still every trainer for themselves. I found it so finders' keepers." Scott explained with a smirk as Amy growled.
"{Sighs} Sadly he's right, we can't just share one potion. We'll just have to get our own and whatever supplies we find out here, it's fair game Courtney said as Scott glared at her.
Confession Starts
Scott: Oh, I see what she's doing. She's trying to agree with every little thing I say in order to get on my good side. Well hate to break it to you Courtney, but I'm not falling for it! {Hits his fist on the metal wall, making him recoil his hand in pain}
Confession Ends
After finally agreeing to let Scott have the potion and put it in his bag, they continued on until they came across a house with little trees growing around the perimeter of the house.
"Think this is it?" Katie asked.
"Only one way to find out." Courtney said as she knocked on the door, the door opening to reveal an ordinary man.
"May I help you all?" The man asked
"Yes, by any chance are you Mr. Pokemon?" She asked.
"Unfortunately not, he's further up that way." He answered then adding, "wait, are you all Professor Elm's helpers?"
"Yes sir." DJ answered.
"Great, I was told to give you all these." He said as he gave them seven boxes.
"What are these?" Tyler asked.
"These are apricorn boxes." The man answered.
"The heck are apricorns?" Amy asked.
"They are organically made plants that can be used to make Pokeballs." He explained.
"What types of Pokeballs?" Scott asked also.
"Many types such as the heavy ball which can easily capture very large Pokemon or a dive ball with have a higher capture rate for any Pokemon that lives in the sea." He explained further "However, you must have the correct apricorn to make them. For example, if you want to make a Pokeball, you must have a red and white apricorn to make them."
"Makes sense." Scott said, satisfied with his answer.
"Thank you sir." DJ thanked.
"You are welcome. You may collect any of the apricorn I have grown around my house. I wish you all good luck." The man said as he closed his door.
"Well you heard him, let's get grabbing." Scott said as they all started to gather apricorns around the man's house.
"This brings back to when my-"
"-You're great great grandfather invented berry picking?" Courtney asked, already knowing what she was going to say. She gasped.
"How did you know?" Staci asked in shock.
"Just a hunch." Courtney deadpanned as they all finished collecting Apricorns and put it in their boxes and then put said boxes in their backpacks. Afterwards, they continued onwards until they got to another house.
"That must be his house." DJ said, seeing it in the distance.
"Great, let's go!" Tyler exclaimed before a Ledyba appeared out of nowhere and startled Tyler.
"Ledyba!" It called out.
"The heck is that bug!?" Amy exclaimed in anger.
"Don't worry, I got this. Cyndaquil, tackle that bug." Tyler ordered as Cyndaquil nodded and jumped off Tyler's shoulder to tackle it but Ledyba was faster as it tackle him instead, completely knocking Cyndaquil out.
"Cyndaquil!" Tyler exclaimed in horror as he ran to his now fallen partner. "You okay? Speak to me!?" He let out a small cynda as a response. He growled.
"Oh, you'll for that!" Tyler yelled as he was about to punch Ledyba, but it tackled him in the stomach, knocking the air out of him and knocking him to the ground.
"Tyler!" Katie exclaimed also as she ran to help him.
"Will guess we have to help them, Totodile tackle him!" Scott ordered as Totodile nodded as he tackled the Ledyba who was more focused on Tyler and Katie, knocking it away from them. The Ledyba shook his head before retreating away from them. Tyler, now recovering, was still angry.
"Hey, get back here!" Tyler yelled out to him and was about to chase it until he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Let him go Tyler, he's not worth it." DJ suggested as Tyler sighed in defeat.
"Fine, but I'll get him next time." Tyler said as he looked at his fainted partner. "But what should I do now?"
"Maybe use a potion." Staci suggested as Tyler lit up.
"Oh yeah, that's right." Tyler said as he fished out a potion from his bag. "Hope this works." He hoped as he sprayed on Cyndaquil, but nothing happened. "What, why isn't it working?" He asked as he tried again but nothing happened. Courtney brought out her own Potion and looked closer at it.
"Guys, I think I know why it doesn't work. According to this, if your Pokemon has fainted, a potion won't work on it so you have to bring it to your closest Pokemon Center to heal them." She read as Tyler got up with Cyndaquil in his arms.
"I gotta take him to a Pokemon Center." Tyler said, making his decision.
"What, we just got to Mr. Pokémon's house and you want to go back!" Amy yelled at him.
"I don't care, I need to." Tyler shot back and was about to run off if DJ didn't stop him.
"Tyler, Amy's right. We need to go to Mr. Pokémon's house and collect the egg. I promise once we do, we can take him to a Pokemon center back in Cherrygrove. For now, just put in his Pokeball okay." DJ said to Tyler as he sighed in defeat.
"Fine." He said, finally giving in as he brought out his Pokeball. "Sorry little buddy." He apologized as he brought Cyndaquil back in his Pokeball. As he did, Katie put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
"It's okay Tyler, your Cyndaquil will be fine so let's just get this egg and heal him okay." Katie said reassuringly as Tyler smiled a little.
"Fine, let's go." He said finally as the others got to the entrance and Courtney knocking on his door. The door opened to reveal a man in a brown trench coat.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Pokemon?" Courtney asked.
"Indeed I am. You must be those contestants from Total Drama. You may all come in." Mr. Pokemon said as they all let him inside his humble abode.
"I assume you're all here for the egg that Professor Elm needs right?" He asked.
"Yes sir, we need it to continue our journey." DJ explained.
"I see. Well I was the one who gave the Professor an email about it. Just wait here and I'll get it." With that, Mr. Pokemon collected the egg with red and blue stripes from a container.
"This is what I want Professor Elm to examine." He said as he handed the egg to DJ.
"Wow, the egg is so pretty." Katie said, admiring the colors on the egg.
"Indeed. A friend of me in Ecruteak gave it to me. I bet you can't find any egg like this in Johto." He said.
"Looks rare to me." Scott added, also admiring the colors of the egg.
"I thought that Professor Elm might be able to tell what it is. "He's the best when it comes to the research of Pokemon evolution." That's a quote from the famous Professor Oak." He explained. "I assume you're needed back so before you leave, does any of your Pokemon need healing." After he asked, Tyler raised his hand.
"I do sir. My Cyndaquil got beaten by a stupid bug." He explained.
"I see. Let me see his Pokeball so I may heal him." Mr. Pokemon said as Tyler widened his eyes in shock.
"Wait, you can heal him?" Tyler asked in shock.
"Yes. I have a machine that can heal your Pokemon. May I see him?" Mr. Pokemon asked.
"Y-Yeah, sure." He answered as he gave Cyndaquil's Pokeball to Mr. Pokemon and put it in a machine. After a few seconds, he took it out and gave it back to Tyler.
"There, try opening his Pokeball and see if he's okay?" He asked as Tyler nodded and opened his Pokeball and out came his Cyndaquil who looked all better.
"Cyndaquil, you're okay!" Tyler exclaimed in happiness as he went to shake Mr. Pokémon's hand. "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!" He thanked over and over again.
"You're welcome Tyler." He said as another man walked thru the door and that man was Professor Oak.
"Hello to you all. My name is Professor Oak, a Pokemon researcher. You must all be Team Johto. I have a team in Kanto competing over there." Oak said, introducing himself.
"Wait, who's on team Kanto?" Katie asked.
"Their names are Cody, Noah, Beardo, Leonard, Beth, Max, & Sammy." He answered as Amy perked up at the sound of Sammy's name.
"Wait, Samey's in Kanto?!" She asked in shock before stomping over to Professor Oak. "You will tell me everything that Samey's doing right now. She better not be making any friends!" Before she could attack him, DJ and Tyler grabbed hold of her to keep her at bay.
"Calm down Amy." DJ said, trying to calm her down
"Yeah, what's your problem!?" Tyler asked, really starting to get on his nerves.
"Forgive her, she's just really cranky right now." Courtney said, trying to deescalate the situation.
"Oh, I'll show you cranky!" Amy yelled at Courtney as Oak frighteningly nodded.
"I-I see. Well I was just visiting my friend Mr. Pokemon after Team Kanto left. I heard about you all doing an errand for Professor Elm, so I wanted to see. May I see your Pokemon?" He asked as Amy finally started to calm as DJ and Tyler let her go.
"Sure thing sir." DJ said as all of Team Johto's Pokemon stood before Professor Oak.
"Ah, I see you raised them all well." He said as he looked over to Amy's Cyndaquil who didn't look as happy as the others. "Amy, have you been giving your Cyndaquil any attention." He asked.
"Well… no I haven't." Amy answered as she for some reason got uncomfortable answering that. Oak shook his head in response.
"Amy… you need to treat your Pokemon with love and care otherwise it won't listen to you in any Pokemon battle. Do you understand?" He asked her with a hardened glare as Amy felt a little afraid right.
"Y-Yeah, I will." Amy answered as Oak's eyes softened.
"Thank you and I expect you all to do the same. Now I have something for you all to have." He said as he gave out a Pokedex to each of them. "These are called a Pokedex, a high-tech encyclopedia. It records data on any Pokemon you've seen or have caught, and I like you all to have it."
"So we can use this to identify any Pokemon we don't know?" Courtney asked.
"That's right, it's a very useful tool for trainers to want to see what Pokemon there is." He explained.
"Um, question. How many are there in this world?" Scott asked.
"As we know of right now, over 800 kinds of Pokemon." Oak answered as all Team Johto's jaws dropped to the floor.
"No way…" Tyler muttered in awe.
"Right, I have stayed way too long. I have to get to Goldenrod City to do my usual talk show. I have a feeling this won't be the last time that we met so I'll give you guys my number." He said as he added his number to Team Johto's Pokegear. "And with that, I'll see you all later." Oak said, saying his goodbyes as did Team Johto as Oak went off to Goldenrod City.
"Well, I wish you all the best of luck on your journey." Mr. Pokemon said, also saying his goodbyes as well.
"Thanks for everything Mr. Pokemon. Let's go guys." DJ said as the other left Mr. Pokémon's house. When they started walking back, their Pokegear started to ring.
"Hey guys, are Pokegears are ringing." Tyler said as he looked at his ringing Pokegear.
"Well, let's answer it." Courtney suggested as they all answered it to reveal Professor Elm calling them.
"H-Hello? Guys? It's a disaster! Uh, um, it's just terrible! What should I do? It… Oh, no… Please get back here now!" Professor Elm exclaimed before abruptly hanging up, leaving Team Johto speechless.
"Guys, he sounded like he was in trouble." Katie said in fear.
"Yeah, what was your first clue. We gotta get back." Scott said also.
"Right, let's go guys!" Courtney exclaimed as they all started running back to Cherrygrove to help Professor Elm.
Amy: Cyndaquil
Courtney: Cyndaquil
