CHAPTER 3
We left Emily in the forest to Orbergh City:
Emily was walking through the forest and ran into a Ralts! Emily sent out Torchic.
"Torchic! Ember!" Emily comanded. Torchic attacked the Ralts. The Ralts tried to attack but didn't move. It was like it wanted to be with Emily. Emily took out a pokeball. A red beam of light surrounded the Ralts and took it in. The ball pinged. Emily caught a Ralts!
Emily left Torchic out of its pokeball and they kept walking. Emily heard some noises. She ran through the forest and Torchic followed behind her. Emily ran into a trainer, literally. They both fell to the ground. "Hey" the other trainer called out. Emily got up and helped the other trainer up. Emily brushed off her clothes. "I'm Seth" he said smiling. "I'm Emily" Emily said. "Wanna pair up and take this journey together?" Seth asked. "Sure" Emily said as they began to keep wlaking.
They reached Orbergh City. They walked to a Pokemon Center and healed their pokemon while having something to eat. They walked around town looking for the gym. They walked up to the door. Emily pulled on the door. "It's locked" she said. They walked around some more and found a battle tent. "Cool! A Contest Hall!" Seth said running up to the big Contest Hall. "Wait!" Emily said running after him laughing. They walked inside.
Seth and Emily walked up to the counter. "Welcome to the Contest Hall." the lady said. "Would you like to enter a contest?" she asked. "Yeah" Seth said. Seth handed the lady his pokedex and she registered it in the computer. "Your all set to go" she said. "The contest starts in a half hour." she said. "Cool, then I can practice" Seth said.
Emily and Seth walked around back to where a field of grass and coordinators were. Seth took out a pokeball and Piplup came out of it. "Alright Piplup, lets use Bubble Beam the way we practiced!" Seth said. Piplup jumped in the air and used Bubble Beam while spinning around. Piplup stopped and use Peck on all the bubbles. When the bubbles popped, they glimmered in the sun. Piplup landed in a pose. "Great!" Seth said. Piplup replied happily. "That was so cool!" Emily said. "Thanks" Seth said patting Piplup's head.
A half hour went by so fast. Seth quickly got ready and put a seal on Piplup's pokeball. "What's that for?" Emily asked. "To make Piplup's appearence even better. When I throw Piplup's pokeball out, bubbles will surround it and then pop and Piplup will appear" Seth explained.
"Alright! Were ready to get this contest started!" the MC called out into her microphone. "First up, we have Kyle and his Kirlia!" Kyle and Kirlia performed. They got good results from the judges. Two more contestants performed and got bad results. "Last, but not least, we have Seth and his Piplup!" Seth and Piplup bowed and statred to begin. They were spectacular! The judges thought so too. Seth came backl stage with Piplup and waited for the results to see who made it to the second round.
Seth was the last one to be announced. Seth smiled. Emily smiled. "Alright. You made it to the second round." Emily said. "Yeah" said Seth. Seth and Piplup were first to battle. They battled Kyle and Kirlia. Seth seemed nervous. It looked like the blue streaks in his hair were wet with tiny beats of sweat. Seth awaited a reply from his opponent. "You have the chance to go first" Seth said very professionally. Kyle grinned. "Kirlia, Psybeam!" Kyle ordered. Kirlia attacked. Piplup jumped in the air and powerd up for Peck. Pipul spun through the air like a torpedo and hit Kirlia. Kirlia quickly spun back into position.
Without command, Kirlia quickly used Shadow Ball. Kyle's jaw dropped. Shadow ball hit Piplup. Piplup didn't take much damage. "Piplup, Whirlpool!" Seth orderd. Piplup made of pool of water that spun quickly and threw it at Kirlia. Kirlia took a big hit. Kirlia fainted! Seth shot his fist up in the air and smiled real big.
"Now, our final challenge! Between Seth and the undefeated champion, Macey!" said the MC.
Seth and Macey stood on the battle field. "Ready, loser?" Macey said holding a pokeball and grinning. "You don't know the half of it," Seth said. Seth threw Piplup's pokeball. Macey threw her pokeball, Espeon came out. "Espeon, psychic!" Macey ordered. "Piplup, bubble beam!" Seth said. Piplup dodged the attack and attacked with bubble beam in the air. Espeon was hit. "Espeon, tackle!" Macey screamed. "Piplup, dodge and use peck!" Seth orderd. Piplup avoided the attack again! Espeon was hit badly! "Espeon! Shadow Ball!" Piplup was hit! Totally wipped out!
"That's it! Macey wins it again!" the MC said. "Macey stood on the stage with the MC and claimed her ribbion. Macey grinned as Seth walked off the stage. Emily met up with Seth backstage. "Look, it's okay. You know you could beat her any day" Emily said trying to comfort Seth. Emily and Seth sat down on a bench. "I should have won" Seth said sadly. Emily hugged Seth to try and make him feel better.
Emily and Seth walked out of the Contest Hall and headed back twoards the gym. It was unlocked. Emily ran into Jared walking out holding a badge.
Jared shoved it in Emily's face. Emily pushed his arm out of her way. "Ha! I got my first gym badge! Do you have your's yet?!" Jared asked really snobby like. "No. I'm gonna get it now" Emily answered. "Who's your boyfriend?" Jared asked looking at Seth. "He's not my boyfriend now shut up!" Emily screamed."He's just my friend. His name is Seth" Emily said. "Mr.Pretty Boy, eh?" Jared said while getting up in Seth's face. "Black hair and blue streaks? So old." Jared said grinning. Seth pushed Jared out of his way. "Okay dude, don't have to get all nasty about your girlfriend," Jared said. "She's not my girlfriend!" Seth yelled getting ready to punch Jared. Emily grabbed Seth's arm. Jared ran back into the forest to get to the next town.
Seth turned back to Emily. "Sorry, I hate him, why are you friends with him?" Seth asked. "I don't really know, my mom thinks we should 'get married' or something" Emily answered. Seth laughed. They walked inside the gym. A man walked up to Emily and Seth. "So you must be the challenger we were expecting," he said. "Yeah, I'll be battling you" Emily said. The man laughed. "Oh, I'm not the gym leader. He's the gym leader." He pointed to a young man standing on a platform. "He seems too young to be a gym leader," Emily said. "Well I am young but, that's me, the Orbergh City Gym Leader!" the young man said. "I should introduce myself, I'm Roark." Emily grinned, "Okay then, lets go"
Emily and Roark battled until one pokemon from each team was left. Torchic and Cranidos. "Torchic, Ember!" Emily comanded. "Cranidos, Zen Headbutt!" Roark said. Torchic attacked and knocked out Cranidos. "Looks like you've won, I'm happy to present you with the Orbergh Gym badge." Roark handed Emily the badge.
Emily put the badge away with pride. Emily smiled and ran out the door. Seth following behind. They met up at a bridge crossing a huge river. Emily leaned over the edge of the bridge. Seth stood next to her leaning over the edge too. "You know, there's a tag-team battle in the next city, wanna enter with me?" Seth asked looking at Emily with his hair in his face smiling. "Sure, Sounds fun" Emily said smiling.
They walked twoards the next city encountering more pokemon and getting stronger,
