Last time on Pokemon Topaz...
"I'm sorry Max but this is the last Starter Pokemon I have, it contains the Fire Pokemon called Chimchar."
"It's alright, anything is fine." Max said taking the Pokeball from Rowan.
"Now Max I need to ask you something..."
"Yeah, Rowan?"
"I want you as well as Yuru and my other assistant Fondo to help me obtain data on Pokemon all over Sinnoh, this will be greatly appreciated if you do."
Max without even thinking of it nodded his head.
"Yes. Yes, I will help you."
"Good Answer! Now I bid you farewell on your journeys. Here's your Pokedex and a gift from the Jubilife Poketch Company." Rowan said taking a Pokedex and a small box wrapped with a red ribbon. The box was yellow with light green dots. Max opened his Pokedex and turned it on.

"Well Hi Chimchar, I'm Max."
Chimchar merely turned it's head with it's eyes closed and it's arms crossed.
"Umm... Chimchar?"
Chimchar looked at Max and threw an Ember attack at him. Max feel to the ground with his shirt burning. "Ah! Chimchar what's your problem?!!" Max yelled. The Chimchar ran down the hill and went out of sight.
"Max are you okay?" Yuru said looking at Max. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. "Yuru, what just happened?"
"Uh Chimchar attacked you then ran away duh?" Yuru said getting up then pulling Max up on his feet. "Come on Max we have to get Chimchar back."
Max looked at the road. "Why do you think Chimchar attacked and then ran away from me?" Max asked without turning to look at Yuru.
"Well by the looks of it, it kinda seemed that..."
"That Chimchar thinks you are too weak to be it's trainer." ; They both turned and saw Prof. Rowan standing behind them. "That Chimchar is too hard headed and will only go with the trainers who would be willing to risk their lives to win. That's why you must show Chimchar that you would go at any risk to rescue it."
Part 01 - Sinnoh
Chapter 03 - The Stubborn Pokemon, Find Chimchar
Yuru and Max ran down the steep hill looking for Chimchar. Looking in every direction they continued their search. Leaves were blown away by the wind and the sun glowed brightly.
"Max I doubt Chimchar would be in the town, our best bets are somewhere in the forest." Yuru exclaimed.
"Yeah.... probably." he replied.
"We'll find Chimchar Max, don't worry."

"Hmph! Think what you got what it takes to take me on!!" yelled a bald man holding a Pokeball and wearing a black shirt with black curoduoy pants.
"Yeah Whatever." Fondo replied pointing his finger towards the man. Piplup jumped in front of Fondo. It held it's thumb out upside down to the man that stood 8ft, 3inches away from them.
"Take this! Geodude!!" he yelled throwing the Pokeball as hard as he could. It opened releasing a small rock like Pokemon.
"Dexter, Pokedex Data.." Fondo said flipping his Pokedex open.
'GEODUDE THE ROCK POKEMON - IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DISTINGUISH FROM ROCKS. IT SLAMS OTHERS IN A CONTEST OF HARDNESS.'
"This isn't going to be hard."
"Oh yeah smart guy, Geodude use Rollout!!"
"Ge-Geoddduudde!" ; Geodude rolled into a ball and began to spin. As it span the ground tore apart. It kept spinning and went off rolling at a fast rate towards Piplup.
"Piplup, Bubble." Fondo said holding his left hand out. Piplup obeyed and released many bubbles. It hit the Geodude but it wouldn't stop.
"Now Ice Beam."
Piplup leaped towards Geodude and used Ice Beam. It was frozen to the ground.
"What?!!" yelled the bald man.
"Now knock that pathetic Pokemon back to the loser."
Piplup took the frozen Geodude and threw it at the trainer. He was knocked down with Geodude fainted in a block of ice. Fondo and Piplup passed them by and continued on towards the Oreburgh Gate.

"Chimchar!.... Chimcharrrrr!!" yelled Max and Yuru still searching for Chimchar. Both of them were in the forest but no sign of the Chimp Pokemon anywhere.
"Max.... this is harder that I thought.." Yuru punted holding on to Max. "It's like a game.... of hide and sneak."
"We will find it now come on." Max encouraged running ahead of Yuru.
"Wait Max, wait for me!!"
Both of them, Max and Yuru kept searching and searching. Looking in trees and in dark places but no sign of it. It was nearing nightfall and Max and Yuru are now resting in an wide open area of the forest.
"Max I can't take much more of this, I'm sorry but we can't find Chimchar."
"We have to! Or I'll never be able to start my journey..." Max said feeling depressed.
Yuru put her hand on his shoulder. "Maybe next year.." Yuru said softly getting up from the smooth grass. She began to walk away but Max kept his position and sat on the ground
"Max Look!" yelled Yuru stopping and pointing.
"What is it?" Max said looking back at Yuru. Max looked and saw Chimchar resting inside of an tall oak tree.
"See Max, I told you we could find him."
Max looked at Yuru with a weird face. "You said we would never find him and left.."
"Uh yeah... but things can change." Yuru replied.
Max ignored it and pulled out his Pokeball. He pushed the button on it against Chimchar's head and returned it to it's Pokeball. Max looked at the Pokeball then put it on his belt. Both Yuru and Max got up and continued on their path. What will happen next? Read the next Chapter of Pokemon Topaz to find out!
