Chapter Three: Which, What, Where, Who? I Do Choose You!
"Yawn...I think we should take a break." Tom said sleepily. "Mime Mime Mime!" Mime Jr exclaimed. Even though Mime Jr wasn't speaking English Tom understood him completly. "Yes I know we have to get to Cinnabar Village before nightfall, but c'mon! You gotta learn to relax Mimey!" Grumbling Mime Jr continued down the path, wondering how his new master could be so care free.

Soon the duo came to a fork in the road. "Wow!" cried Tom. "This fork would be great to eat spagetti with!"

Soon the two came to the spot where the road split in two. The Forest Path was on their left, while the Grassy Path was on their right. "Hmm...Which way do you think we should go Mime Jr?" Tom asked his partner. Mime Jr searched his brain for an answer. On one hand if they went to the Forest Path they would reach Cinnabar Village faster. On the other hand Mime Jr had this thing about closed spaces, which is why he prefered walking outside his Pokeball. If they took the Grassy Path however, it would take them longer to reach Cinnabar Village which could be bad for Mime Jr with a master like Tom. On the other hand they wouldn't have to deal with the closness of the trees in the Forest Path.

"Mime!" Mime Jr pointed down the right, indicating that he wanted to take the Grassy Path. "Good choice Mime Jr! I was just thinkin the same thing." Tom said as he began walking down the Grassy Path.

A little while later, as Tom was hacking his way through the tall tall grass, Mime Jr was resting on Tom's head when he looked up and saw a flock of bird Pokemon flying through the sky. They were making quite a racket. Mime Jr was puzzeled until he saw what lay in Tom's path. A small twig nest with three spotted eggs sitting inside. "MIME MIME!!" Mime Jr said in a panic. "Wha...?" Tom said confused before his foot colided with the nest.

"Starly!" Now even Tom could hear the cry of the bird Pokemon. However he wasn't even thinking of his own safety. "Mime Jr! Use Confusion to catch those eggs!" Tom ordered. A blue aura surrounded Mime Jr as he used Confusion to catch the eggs with his psychic power.

"Starly Starly Starly!" The Starly cried as they swooped down on Mime Jr and Tom. "What does my new Pokethingy have to say about these guys?" Tom wondered as he took out his PokeTech. Selecting the Pokedex Option Tom's PokeTech had this to say: "Starly, the Starling Pokemon. They form groups because they are weak on their own. Entire flocks engage in huge struggles."

"Is that true?" Tom hollered up to the flock. Do you have to take me on all at once to defeat me? C'mon! I saved your eggs! The least you could do is at least send your strongest fighter for a one-on-one match with me!" At those words a missle streaked from the flock. It landed on a rock in the field and faced Tom. It was bigger than the average Starly with a giant scar stretching from the right of its beak to the back of its head. "Star!" it said. "Heres the deal Starly boy. If I win me and Mime Jr leave in peace. If you win then you and your Starly friends can attacks us without mercy." Mime Jr's mouth dropped open at that. It wasn't HIS fault he almost broke the eggs.

"Allright go get him Mime Jr!" Tom ordered. "WHAT?!" Mime Jr cried. (In pokemon of course) "What, did you think I would beat up a Starly myself?" Tom said with a grin. Grumbling Mime Jr went to go face the Starling Pokemon.

"Mime Jr start off with Tickle!" Tom ordered. Mime Jr lept at Starly tickling the bird with nimble fingers.

"Star Star Starlyyyyy!" Starly laughed. It managed to break free of Mime Jr's tickle hold and knocked the Mime Pokemon to the ground with a Tackle. With surprising speed the Starly whipped around with another Tackle.

"Mime Jr, put up a Barrier!" Tom cried. Mime Jr put it up just in time as the Starly ran right smack dab into it. "Now use Copycat!" Mime Jr suddenly used Tackle, the last move used by Starly. "Finish it off with Confusion!"

"MIME!" Mime Jr cried as it threw a wave of psychic energy toward the worn out Starly.

"Star....ly..." Starly groaned before it passed out. Suddenly the flock of Starly flew away. The defeated Starly watched them go, knowing why they were leaving. Why would they need him now that he had lost.

"Well since your fam has left why don't you come with us?" Tom asked it. "Me and you, we're alot alike. In more ways then one..." he quietly. Starly cocked its head to the side as if it didn't know what to do. "Well better make up your mind quick!" Tom cried before the Pokeball engulfed Starly in a red light. The ball began to move, with Tom hoping that Starly would accept his offer and Mime Jr hoping Starly wouldn't.

Zachary began walking towards Fuchsia City with his Bagon after leaving Jacob's laboratory. "Hmm, Cinnabar blew up and the oceans dried up. Look how much the world has changed. Like I care. All I want are those badges and to enter the league. Nothing else matters." Zack said to his Bagon.

Zack finally came to a fork in the road. "A fork in the road, eh. This one's too sunny. Will go down this one Bagon" Zack said pointing at the woody path.

The route was covered in dark green vegatation; a variety of ivys, vines, ferns, and trees. The path was narrow and enclosed like a dark cave. Both Bagon and Zack felt claustrophobic, but both were to stubborn to admit it.

A cry rang through the trees. A Pidgey was terrorizing a Wurmple. Zack pulled out his pokedex and pointed it at the two Pokemon.

Pidgey
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
It is docile and perfers to avoid conflict. If disturbed, however, it can ferciously strike back.

Wurmple
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
It loves to eat leaves. If disturbed by a STARLY, it will defend itself with its spiked rear.


"Some docile Pidgey. Bagon bite it" Zack said and the Bagon jumped from behind a bush and bit the Pidgey. The Pidgey winced and grimaced. The Pidgey was now after Bagon.

The Pidgey tackled the Bagon knocking him into the ground. Bagon was forced to the ground and the Pidgey began to attack without mercy.

"Bagon use rage" Zack commanded to the Bagon who was being repeatedly tackled by the Pidgey. The Bagon began to glow a red aura. When Bagons rage hit its peak he threw the Pidgey off of him and against a tree. The Pidgey was helpless.

"Now bite it with all your fury" Zack shouted with a hint of evil in his voice and an evil chilling laughter. The Bagon prepared its fangs and bit the bird pokemon seven times straight before the Pokemon collapsed, but the Pidgey still had some fight in it.

The Pidgey had faked his fainting and kicked sand into Bagon's eyes. The Bagon stumbled for a bit; this was the perfect time for the Pidgey to attack. The Pidgey tackled the torso of the Bagon and he fell. The Pidgey was on top again and tackling with all its might. "Bagon get up" Zack said as he got closer to the fight.

He had stepped on something; it was another Pidgey. "Huh? Something's not right" Zack thought looking at the Pidgey under his foot. The Pidgey that was tackling Bagon looked back and noticed that Zack had stepped on the fallen Pidgey. The Pidgey stopped tackling the Bagon and flew towards Zack and began tackling him with tears in its eyes. "Bagon this is your chance, bite it." Zack screamed. The Bagon bit the Pidgey once more and then finally it could make no move. Zack threw a pokeball at the Pidgey he had been battleing.

Alex was left the city, and after a few minutes arrived at a sign labeled: Route 1. Underneath this heading there were two arrows, one pointed left. one right. Similarly, the path was forked, one going right, one left. Not even bothering to read the sign, Alex started walking down the left path. Soon he was trudging through thick woods, barely able to see the sun. During that time, the only living being he saw was a Pidgey that appeared to be following him. Although the Pidgey was flying around his head for almost a half an hour Alex made no move to capture it. He couldn't be bothered to do that, plus it's not like he would succeed or anything.

Suddenly, as he stopped to rest, the Pidgey swooped down, and hurled itself like a cannon ball at the back of his head. It hit a split second later, sending Alex to the ground. Although it took a moment for him to realize what was going on, as soon as he did he reached into his bag and withdrew a pokeball. Then, he simultaneously threw the pokeball, releasing Zangoose, and stood, ready to do battle. But, before it started he turned to the Pidgey and started talking to it.

"Come on you idiotic bird! Couldn't you just leave me alone? I wasn't going to try to capture you!" Having vented his anger on the Pidgey, he turned to Zangoose

"Use Quick attack" Zangoose obeyed, and swiftly ran towards the Pidgey, before it could dodge she smacked into the bird. In response, the Pidgey grabbed some sand from the ground, and using its front two legs to throw the dirt into Zangoose's eyes. This derailed Zangoose's next attack and it hit a tree trunk, her claws sinking deep into the wood. Pidgey took advantage of this and tackled Zangoose, injuring her right arm.

But, a bit of sand was not enough to save Pidgey. After extricating herself from the tree, Zangoose's next attack did not miss, and smashed into one of Pidgey's wings. The bird was greatly hurt by that, and jumped into the air trying to fly away. But, with its injured wing it could not fly far and landed on a high tree branch, thinking itself safe. That was not the case.

"ZanGOOOOOOOOOOSEEE" cried Zangoose, and leaping, shredded the branch that Pidgey had landed on. Unprepared for this event, the bird fell to the ground, and struggled to get up. Waving Zangoose off, Alex grabbed a second pokeball from his backpack and threw it at the struggling bird.
 
(OOC: if its not good enough for a mankey ill just replace him with a starly, ok?"

Seth left his home with a newly stored backpack. His mom had packed it for him while he rode home.

"See ya mom!" He yelled and turned around to see his mom waving at him.

"Now, is it ok if i call you eve?" The eevee was ok with that "Alright Eve lets go!" The Eevee poked her head out of his backpack. She liked to sit there in the one empty pocket.

"So, uh where do we go?" He left pallet town and stopped at a fork in the road.

"Wait, dont say anything.." He stopped Eve from saying anything.

"Ive got an idea!" He ran towards the middle of the two paths.

"Hehe, always go forward?" He glanced backwards. There was Eve watching him like he was some kind of fool. Behind her were trainers splitting up into different parts. Some of them watched him in disgust, others thought it was pretty humorous.

"See, this is great!" He turned around to his eevee again. He looked at the little pokemon and the last thing he remembered was the fork in the road and soft fur of the eevee behind him.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Uhh ... where in the world am i?" Seth woke up from being slapped by something

"Thud!" Something slapped him again.

"Ouch, Who did that!" He lifted his head and saw Eve spin her tail again in an attempt to wake him up.

"Wait.. No im awake, wait.. wait.. wait!" His voice echoed through the forest.

"Thud" He yelled and fell down again. Jeesh what was this pokemon stubborn.

Only now did he see the Eevee wasnt aiming for him, she was looking at something behind him. He turned around. All he saw was a sort of small cliff with trees, skidding marcs and a pit.

"Me and my good ideas... dang, fell down a freaking cliff" He muttered to himself.

Eve jumped in the air again and tackled his legs.

"Ouch whatcha do that for?" He shifted his legs and grabbed her pokeball.

Suddenly something twitched under his legg.

"Huh?" He yelled and jumped up. Under his legs he saw a mankey, he looked at his landing space. First of all, the area was grassy, very grassy. The pit seemed to be a nice soft area with brambles around it, perfect for a pokemon nest.

"Oooh, uhh right, sorry" The mankey jumped up and scratched his face.

"Mankey Mankey!" It got ready for another attack.

"Hey i said sorry!" He jumped up, pissed off.

First he grabbed his pokedex. He pointed it at the little monkey

[PokeCommunity.com] The Ultimate Challenge: New Kanto
Mankey, the pig monkey pokemon. When Mankey starts shaking and its nasal breathing turns rough, it is a sure sign it is becoming angry. However because it goes into a towering rage instantly, it is impossible for anyone to flee its wrath.

"Ok, its a pig monkey, thats kinda obvious. Hmm instant rage, signs are shaking and rough breathing." He looked up from his pokedex.

"Phew at least it isnt in a rage, its just shaking and acting all tough with its heavy breathing."

"Mankey, Mankey!" That did it, the pokemon became enraged and started glowing for a couple of seconds. Then it stood rigid watching Seth carefully.

"Oh no, whats he doing, Eve, whats he doing?" Seth became nervous, he didnt trust this little pig, uhh monkey.

"Eve, Eevee!" She also became distressed.

"Oh right" He scrambled for his pokedex and opened it.

Focus Energy

"Ok focus energy, listen carefully Eve, after using this move the mankey has a great chance of dealing a critical hit" He looked at Eve. "Ya got that?"

The eevee nodded

"Great, now where is that pig, uhh monkey, i mean... Pig monkey" The stupid pokemon was confusing him. He took a step forward towards the mankey but he found it was gone.

"Where-" His sentence was cut off by a yell.

"Mankey!, Mankey!" The pokemon lashed out with its foot and kicked him in the legs.

Seth heard a sickening crunch as he slammed into the grassy ground.

"Crud, he probably used low kick!" The mankey jumped in for another hit.

"No!" Seth skidded backwards.

"Eevee, Sick him!" The eevee looked at him like he was crazy.

"Sorry, head something like that in a movie" Seth grinned. "Well, use tackle!"

The eevee intercepted the mankey and tackled it in the side.

"Mankey, Mankey!" The pokemon skidden and jumped up right.

"Now eevee use tail whip." The eevee spun around and moved its tail in a mocking way towards the mankey.

The mankey got even more outraged and Seth could have sworn it was turning red. He wasnt sure from his point of view, because he was still laying on the ground.

The mankey shot forward and kicked eevee who couldnt dodge in time.

"Eve, are you ok?" The pokemon flew backwards and crashed into a tree.

"Dang, fighting types are stronger against normal types." He stretched his arm towards eevee but he couldnt reach. He tried to stand up but his ankle was sprained from the low king.

"Freaking monkey!" Seth punched the mankey who apperently didnt think a human could fight.

It was hard to fight while lying down and the mankey soon overpowered him with kicks, but that didnt matter. His plan had worked.

"Mankey Mankey!" He was scratching seths arm.

"Oh now youre gonna get it little monkey.. err pig.. uh pig monkey" The thing still confused him.

The mankey didnt take notice and kept scratching.

"Hehe bad decision, and Seth relaxed." Before he knew it the monkey flew past him and crashed into the undergrowth. While he fought mankey, Eve had recovered, and she also had become outraged.

She jumped into the brambles and chased the mankey. Somtimes tackling it and then chasing it again. She continued until the mankey finally got knocked out from exhaustion.

"Told ya, stubborn pig monkey" Seth sat up and scurried after Eve on hands and Knees. He took mankey in his hands.

Eve protested and growled, but Seth picked up the mankey anyway. Slowly he crept towards its nest. It appeared to be a male, but there was no sign of a female companion anywhere.

"Couldnt find the right one eh?" He looked at the mankey, and how weak it looked. He made up his mind and grabbed a pokeball, he'd like it if the mankey would join him, but if it doesnt want to, he could stay there.

Eve growled again.

"Hey watch it Eve, i sat on it in the first place. Mankey if you dont wanna then dont get captured, i dont mind if you wanna stay" Where did the sweet talk come from? Seth guessed he felt pity for the pig.. monkey and wanted to help it.

"Here we go" He threw his pokeball and the mankey got engulfed in a bright red flash of light.

He watch the pokemon shake... once...twice....three times.... and then-
 
"1…"

"2…"

"3!"

"Ha!/Dew!"

"Dew! Budeeew!"

Nina's jaw dropped as she watched Rose clap her vines happily and bounce around on the balls of her feet "Aww I can't believe I lost" she groaned picking up her grinning Budew and heading down the Woody Path. Nina and Rose had come to a disagreement once they had reached that fork in the road Nina wanted to go down the Grassy Path and Budew wanted to go down the Woody Path since Nina didn't have a coin to flip and Budew couldn't really guess numbers, she decided they'd play Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Closed vines indicated Rock. Open indicated Scissor and one vine indicated Paper, in the end Nina chose Scissor and Rose chose Rock… she had lost to a Pokémon… on its first try. "Good job Rose" Nina congratulated her Budew, who chirped happily in reply "I didin't think you'd beat my on your first try… your pretty smart aren't ya" Rose nodded and Nina smiled.

They had been walking in silence for a good 10 minutes, when Budew suddenly became alert of their surroundings and stiffening in Nina's arms. The duo were in a deeper and danker part of the forest, it was filled with trees and vines and all types of life growing in them "Buh Dew!" Rose held her vines up in a halting fashion and scanned the forest ahead of them with narrowed eyes.

"What's wrong Rose"

Rose jumped out of Nina's arms and bounded ahead, leaving her trainer standing in the middle of the woods blinking in confusion "H-Hey R-Rose! Rose! Get back here Rose!" Rose however ignored Nina and continued to bounce ahead "Where are you going Rose! What's wrong!?"

 "Budew!"

 After a few minutes of chasing after her Budew, Rose finally came to a stop, in the middle of a forest clearing "What's the matter Rose… why'd you run off?" she looked at Rose, who glanced back and then pointed with her vines up in a tree, there sat a homely looking Wurmple, it was seated on a branch in a daze of some sort. Nina pulled out her PokéTech and scanned the Wurmple, the device sprung to life and informed the duo of the Pokémon; Wurmple, the Worm Pokémon, It loves to eat leaves. If it is attacked by a Starly, it will defend itself with its spiked rear. "Maybe we can catch it while its off guard" she whispered to Rose, who nodded a bit unsurely as she watched Nina pull out a Pokéball and toss it at the unsuspecting Wurmple.

 Atleast… they thought it was unsuspecting.

 Both Trainer and Pokémon were shocked to find the Wurmple had been alert and it glared at the offending Ball, batting it away with Tackle and following up with Poison Sting, the two jumped back to avoid the needles "Wurmmm" Wurmple hissed at Rose and Nina before scuttling down the tree and standing before them "Wurmple!" String shot was fired next and it hit Rose square in the eyes, causing her to be temporarily blinded "Dew Dew Dew!" Rose struggled to remove the goop from her eyes, shaking her head rapidly and Wurmple took this time to charge at her.

 After she had finished clearing her eyes, Rose was caught off guard by the full body tackle and was sent flying back and hitting a tree. Nina winced when Rose got roughly slammed into the bark from the tackle, the force of the blow caused the tree to shake slightly and neither trainer nor Pokémon noticed the item that dropped from it "Use Growth Rose and then follow up with Absorb" Rose hummed as a white light encased its body, the effects of Growth, pumping her up and the pain from Tackle subsided, green flecks of energy floated away from Wurmple, taking a good chunk out of its health and Rose felt refreshed.

 "Wurm ple" Wurmple wasn't going to go down that easily, even though it was feeling a bit weakened by the attack "Wurmple!" Its mouth glowed and Wurmple fired a barrage of poison tipped needles at Rose, who had just barely leapt out of the way then needles grazed her and she winced upon feeling the poison beginning to work.

"Crud Rose! Try another Absorb attack!"

 "Wurmple!" Wurmple charged at Rose, who faltered slightly from its poisoning, it tackled Rose back into the same tree from before and she cried out in pain, wincing as she struggled to stand "Rose! Get up, please!" Rose was panting, glaring at Wurmple as she stood "Try Absorb one more time!" narrowing her eyes slightly, Rose nodded and her vines glowed green, she greedily sapped all the energy she could from Wurmple, the offending Bug glared at Rose, though its strength gradually weakening, but unlike Rose, he had no ailment holding him back and charged at the Bud Pokémon once more with every ounce of its strength.

 Only to be stopped when it was sucked into a Pokéball. Nina watched the ball with hopeful eyes as it wobbled back and forth.

Wow, I'm sorry I haven't updated guys. I was extremely busy getting ready for school.

To Wolfwhispers: Good battle with Zigzagoon. I wonder how Bryan would act if he got a weak pokemon?
You caught a level 3 Male Zigzagoon!
To Old Lace: Sorry Mime Jr!
You caught a level 3 Male Starly!
To FrozenSnowman: I can't believe how careless Zack is! Anyway, the post would've been a tad bit short if those pictures weren't placed in there.
You caught a level 2 Female Pidgey!
To The Kricket: Same thing. The post was a little too short. But otherwise, the battle was very good.
You caught a level 2 Male Pidgey!
To DrAcO ToRpEdO: I love the long post. I even laughed at some points. Seth seems a little messed up.
You caught a level 4 Female Mankey!
To ShadowYashi: Okay, two things wrong here: 1.) If you want to capture a pokemon, you need to end the post after throwing a pokeball at it 2.) You cannot capture a pokemon and find a tm in the same post.
So my suggestion would be to put off your discovery of the tm in your next post and Wurmple will be yours. Give me your choice in a vm or a response in the ooc thread.
EDIT: Okay, Wurmple is yours
You caught a level 3 Female Wurmple!

Bryan smirked as the pokeball finally stopped shaking and stopped with a ping, indicating that the feisty Zigzagoon had been caught. Picking the pokeball up, Bryan put it under his pokedex and scanned it.

"What. The. Hell!" Bryan snarled, gripping the pokeball tightly. Minun watched his trainer with a glare, ear twitching in agitation from the outburst. Bryan glared down at Minun. "THis freakin' Zigzagoon is level three. Three! This thing put up a much better fight than some level three weakling. It was at least a level five." Bryan glared at the sky.

Someone was obviously screwing with him and being unfair...

"Go!" Bryan snapped, throwing Zigzagoon's pokeball to the ground.

With a burst of light, Zigzagoon appeared. Shaking itself, Zigzagoon looked up at Bryan with a scowl. "Zig," it muttered, teeth bared.

"Shut it," Bryan growled. "I am not in the mood. You're at a weak level and I'm not even sure if you're worth it." Zigzagoon growled warningly. "Here's a damn potion," Bryan continued, spraying the pokemon. He looked around. "We're about to see if you're worth it, and that Mankey over there is perfect," he said, indicating to a Mankey that was rooting around the ground for items. "Now go!" Bryan snapped.

"Gan!" Zigzagoon snarled, angry at Bryan's tone and reaction. Nearly frothing at the mouth in frustration as it bashed Mankey in the head by complete suprise.

"Man key!" Mankey screamed, stomping on the ground in ager from the sudden attack. "Key kem," Mankey beckoned, preparing for a fight.

Zigzagoon was only too eager to battle as well, snarling as he did so. "Zang!" he snarled, charging again.

"Mank!" Mankey grunted slashing its arms towards Zigzagoon in a Scratch attack.

"Zig," Zigzagoon smirked, dodging the attack from the outraised arm and Tackled Mankey right in the gut. "Zig," Zigzagoon growled, ramming the fallen ape again while it was down. "Ziggg," Zigzagoon snapped as Mankey tried to struggle.

"Mank!" Mankey snarled, managing to pucnh Zigzagoon in the face and get free.

Ziggz," Zigzagoon growled, shaking his head and eyeing the Mankey a bit carefully this time.

"Ney!" Mankey screamed, charging at Zigzagoon.

Fur poofing up in preparation, Zigzagoon wait until the last, right before Mankey would hit him, and jumped, effectively dodging the attack and making sure Mankey ran right past him and right into a tree. Chuckling, Zigzagoon bashed right into Mankey's back, getting a high pitched squeal from the ape before it collapsed, face against the tree.

Smirking, Zigzagoon turned toward Bryan with an arrogant expression and sat down and idily licking a paw. "Zig."

Bryan shrugged. "Whatever. I suppose you were good enough... for now. Return."
 
To Wolfwhispers: So you think I'm screwing with you and being unfair. That hurts my feelings :) Well, Zigzagoon isn't level 5 anymore!
Zigzagoon grew to level 6!
Zigzagon learned Tail Whip!
 
Chapter 2: Why me?

It had been a few hours and there was still no sight of Horace...anywhere. Will was getting anoyyed. His twin, as he called him and Horace since he didn't know where their ther triplet was, was very late. Will flung his Pokedex open and rumaged around on it trying to figure out how to do certain techniques on it.

He figured out how to access the map, scan Pokemon, scan Pokemon for moves, and check his team's status. Will sighed and put the Pokedex away. It seemed like forever without Horace being there. Will had eventually let Riolu out and Riolu either sat on the bench next to Will, or he was running around the field behind him.

Finally, Will decided to leave without Horace. He knew eventually he would run in to Horace and it was Horace's fault for not meeting him here in the first place. Maybe Horace left already, or maybe Horace had gotten stuck somewhere. But, who cares?

Will called Riolu over, which was a challenge and returned his troublesome Pokemon. He then clipped Riolu's Pokeball on to his belt and proceeded down the route.

---

The route was absolutely beautiful. Split in to two different parts, this was the perfect place for a new trainer to start, or atleast that was what Will thought anyway. He remembered how his mom used to show him pictures of this route when it was covered in water.

Will drew in a deep breath of air and sloly let it out. He loved the woods. It didn't matter where he was at he would still enjoy the gracefulness of the woods. He looked to the right path which seemed to take him in to the woods, and then the left side which seemed to take him to plain like terrain with high grass.

Will yawned and started down the path to the right. In a few minutes he entered the wooded area and heard crickets chirping, owls hooting(or maybe it was Hoothoot), and a weird buzzing noise. Will stopped at the base of one tree and then started climbing up it. Many people reffered to him as 'The human mankey' or 'A human Aipom', but Will actually liked those nicknames even though they were supposed to be insulting him.

He stopped climbing when the buzzing noise started growing louder. It now went in to one of his ears and banged around in his head like a hammer was building something in there. Will shook his head which only started giving him a headache and then startewd climbing again. If there was a Pokemon in the tree, he might be able to catch it depending on what it was.

He eventually made it to the second highest branch and decided to stop there. He looked up and saw a medium sized ladybug looking Pokemon. He pulled his Pokedex out and scanned it.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Ledyba, the ladybug Pokemon.
When the weather turns cold, lots of Ledyba gather from everywhere to cluster and keep each other warm.

Then, the branch right in front of him began to snap. THe Ledyba yelped in terror as the branch beneath it began to break. Will gritted his teeth and looked down. He realized that a drop from such a height would surely spell out death for the Pokemon, or atleast major injuries.

Will reached for Riolu's Pokeball and called Riolu out. In a blinding white flash Riolu materalized in front of the Ledyba.

"Riolu! Grab the LEdyba and take it down to the ground without hurting it ok?" Will said to Riolu.

Riolu grunted and nodded then grabbed the Ledyba. He then began jumping down from one branch to the other to the next. Eventually he landed on the ground and then, the branch snapped. Will dodged it and it began to plummet to earth right on top of Riolu. Will didn't notice this however, and the branch landed on Riolu's head.

"Riiiiiii!" Riolu yelped.

The Ledyba giggled in humor, but Riolu didn't think this was funny. Riolu looked at the Ledyba a little angry and held up a fist to it.

"Ri." he warned.

"Ledy." Ledyba replied.

Will sighed mornfully knowing something was about to go down. He then began jumping down from branch to branch. A few times the branches holding his weight for a few seconds almost snapped. He finally landed on the ground with a thud and then stood up straight to calm them down.

"Riolu stop that." Will said kneeling down beside Riolu.

Riolu looked at him and then Ledyba. He then grunted and swiveled his head away from the Ledyba. Will looked at the LEdyba and nodded appolageticaly, but appearently this wasn't good enough for the ladybug.

"Ledyyyyyyyyy!" it shouted.

Then, a few seconds later a tan and brown Pokemon flew out of a tree top. It landed on the ground right next to Ledyba with anger burning in its eyes. Appearently, these Pokemon were friends.

The bird then hovered in to the air and dove at Riolu. The bird collided in to Riolu's back, sending him flying foreward. Riolu hit the base of a tree and then got up and looked at the Pokemon angrily.

"Riolu. Calm down. we can't win this battle. It's two against one." Will tried to reason with Riolu.

Then, the Ledyba tackle Will's back sending him flying to the ground. Will rolled over on to his back and looekd at the two Pokemon.

"Fine then! Riolu use Quick Attack!" Will shouted angrily.

Riolu then sprang from his feet and dashed off. IN a few seconds Riolu was behind the unexpecting bird, which Will figured was a Pidgey, and slammed his fist in to its back. Then Riolu kicked his right foot and slammed it in to Ledyba's chest. Ledyba flipped backwards a little dazed and wobbled its head back and forth, then it got up.

Will shook his head and mummbled to himself: "Why me?"

END

I will continue the battle in my next post:):)
 
Chapter Four: Starly VS Spearow!
"Snzork..." a loud snore escaped from Tom's mouth as he lay sleeping in the middle of the path of the Grassy Path. "Mime..." Mime Jr grumbled. Here he was worried about getting to Cinnabar and his master was sleeping in the middle of the road! "Star..." Starly said with a look of amusment on his face. "Mime Mime Mime Mime?!" (Do you think this is funny?!) Mime Jr shouted.

"Yawn...whats all they yelling about...?" Tom said sleepily. "MIME MIME MIME!!!" Mime Jr screeched, frustrated that Tom was still half asleep.

"Hey kid, you need to learn to control your Pokemon better." a voice said. Tom and Mime Jr ended their quirle as they looked at the newcomer. He had a blue baseball hat on with a white shirt and yellow pants. He looked a few years younger than Tom. "I challenge you to a Pokemon Battle!" the kid cried.

"Umm ok?" Tom replied. "My name's Tom."

"My name's Kyle! Go Nidoran!" Kyle cried as he threw out a pink Pokemon with a horn and large ears.

"Whoa...whats that rabbit thing?" Tom said as he took out his PokeTech. "Nidoran♂, the Poison Pin Pokemon. It scans its surroundings by raising its ears out of the grass. Its toxic horn is for protection."

"Nidoran! Use Poison Sting!" Kyle cried. Nidoran charged at Mime Jr with its horn pointed right at him.

"Use Barrier I guess...?" Tom said still half-asleep. Mime Jr put up and invisible wall which Nidoran ran smack dab into. "Since Nidoran is a Poison Type Confusion will do some serious damage, so lets use Confusion Mime Jr!" Tom cried gettting into the battle. Using Confusion Mime Jr hit Nidoran with a giant wave of wind.

"Nido Nido!" Nidoran cried before it hit the ground. "Return!" Kyle said as he returned the Poison Pin Pokemon. "That was just a test, to see how strong you really are! Here come's my strongest Pokemon yet! Go Spearow!" Kyle roared as he sent out a scraggly bird.

"Spearow, the Tiny Bird Pokemon. It flies by hurriedly flapping its tiny wings. It uses its beak to locate prey in grassy areas." The PokeTech said.

"Spear!" The bird cried. "Well lets fight bird with bird!" Tom cried excited. "Go Starly!" "Starly!" the Starling Pokemon cried excited at its first battle.

"Starly use...!" Tom began but all of a sudden he fell over, flat on his face!

"Mime!" "Dude!" Mime Jr and Kyle (respecfully) called out in surprise.

"Snorze..." Tom muttered. Mime Jr's eye twitched. HE WAS JUST SLEEPING?!?! "MIMEMIMEMIMEMIMEMIME!!!" Mime Jr screeched in Tom's ear. Tom's eye twitched. "ROAR! WHO DARES TO DISTURBE MY SLEEP?!" Tom roared. Mime Jr shocked, though thinking fast, pointed at Kyle's Spearow. "YOU LITTLE TWERP! WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO AWAKEN ME FROM MY SLUMBER?!" Tom yelled.

"Spear?" Spearow said confused. "FOR THAT YOU DIE! STARLY USE A SUPER-TACKLE!" Tom ordered. With surprising speed Starly hit Spearow with a full on Tackle. "AGAIN!" Tom roared. Starly kept hitting the Spearow until it was knocked out. "LET THAT BE A LESSON." Tom muttered as he walked off in a really ticked off mood.

After catching the Pidgey Alex continued on his journey. For almost another hour he walked. Finally, as the sun reached its zenith and started descending he grew tired. His feet dragged, and sweat dripped down his face. Realizing that continueing in his present state, he would not get far, he resolved to stop and take a rest. After finding a good place to rest, he sat down and taking off his pack. But, unfortunately fate would not let him rest, for he heard a low hissing from the tree above him

"wwwwwwwwwurmppppppllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeee." And looking up he saw an odd sight. A small pink and white bug-like Pokémon was looking down on him. It glared for a few more seconds, before growling a low pitched "wurrrrrrrrrmp". After this voicing of its dissatisfaction, the Wurmple let fly a single poisionous barb. The barb flew towards Alex. Realizing the danger, almost to late, he rolled out of the way, and the barb buried itself in his bag. Seeing that its initial barb had missed, the Pokémon let loose a barrage of them. They flew towards Alex, but this time he grabbed his bag, and using it as a shield blocked the barbs. Realizing that its poison sting was not enough to hurt him, the Wurmple descended from the tree, preparing to take Alex on from close in.

As the Pokémon approached Alex cursed his bad luck. Why does something have to attack me everytime I stop? He wondered crossly. But unfortunately his predicament let him no time to ponder the metaphysical state of the world. He grabbed a pokeball from his bag, making sure to avoid the barbs protruding from it, and threw it to the ground. Out of the ball came a bedraggled Pidgey, only partially healed from his rest. The bird came out, and looking rather confused, nonetheless obeyed Alex when he yelled
"Tackle that Wurmple!


Pidgey obeyed, and speedily launched himself towards the bug. But, unfortunately he was still weak, and the attack had minimal effect on the Wurmple. In return, the Wurmple smashed into the Pidgey, sending him flying across the clearing. He lay still for a moment, but then got up, ready to fight. But, Alex realized, a direct fight would be terribly uneven, and the Pidgey would quickly lose, so he would have to change his strategy. Just as the Wurmple unleashed a salvo of poison barbs at him, Alex shouted "Pidgey go land on that branch" pointing to a branch high up in a tree.

A bit unsteadily at first, but then faster, the Pidgey started flying. Luckily it was able to avoid the poison barbs by taking off, so they thudded into the ground behind him. After he had gained almost a hundred feet of altitude, and was high in the tree branches, he alighted on the aforementioned branch. Disturbed that its opponent had fled, and forgetting its previous beef with Alex, the Wurmple started climbing to finish the battle.

When the Wurmple was almost half way up Alex cried "Okay Pidgey tackle him now!!". Obediently the bird jumped off its branch, and smashed into the climbing Pokémon. Although this attack would not normally be enough then to make the Wurmple flinch, it was on unsteady ground. So when the bird Pokémon hit it, it was knocked off of the tree, and fell to the ground. At first it did not look like it could rise, but after a few moments it got shakily to its feet, although it took it even longer to regain its balance.

The Wurmple seemed unwilling to climb the tree again. Instead it stood below the tree, and fired a bombardment of Poison stings up at the bird. But, by the time they reached that high they were slow, and the bird was easily able to dodge them. But, this left them at an impasse, the Bird unable to come down to engage and the bug unable to climb the tree to hurt the bird. But, after a few minutes Alex thought up a solution to this problem "Pidgey, drop those pinecones on him!"

Alex had noticed that the tree had many large pinecones suspended from the branches. While these individually would not hurt the Wurmple, several of them could seriously injure it. It took Pidgey a few seconds to follow that line of thought, but when he did he worked fast. In seconds dozens of pinecones were falling from the tree. The Wurmple was caught knapping by this, and was unable to dodge the first wave. So the pinecones thudded into its head, knocking it to the ground. It did not rise.

The battle done, Alex picked up his pack, preparing to continue on his journey. Although he was tired he couldn't imagine stopping again, after all it didn't look like his Pokémon could take another battle. So although he was weighed down by his pack, he kept on walking as fast as possible, hoping to make it out of the forest before nightfall.

[PokeCommunity.com] The Ultimate Challenge: New Kanto




Name: Shaydus Snagem
Gender: Male
Age: 14

Appearence: Tall, dark and shady, Shay has a mysterious look about him. People often stereotype him as trouble. He wears a silver and teal suit with thin, grey trousers tucked into his shiny blue boots. He often walks with a slight shuffle, probably due to the obseen weight of his golden belt buckle. He also wears a long-ish dusty grey cape and a sinister hat similar to a Honchkrow's. He also has striking hair, a dark, spiky indigo colour, which hangs in his steely grey eyes.

Personality: Being a former member of the nefarious Team Snagem, Shay never fully vanquished his old ways and sometimes his dark side rages out. A skilled and tactful battler, Shay never gives up a fight and tends to seek out tough, enduring Pokemon for his 'ultimate team.' He may seem harsh or unfriendly at times, but it's nothing personal, he just want's to get on with whatever challenge he has crossed paths with, and anybody standing in his way will probably be ignored or found irratating. He really is a kind, however cocky charecter though, but very rarely admits defeat. He know's the difference between good and evil, and is on the side of good no matter what. Whether this is to take vengence on his true family, or whether he's truly a good person, nobody knows.

History: Shay has tried to put his true family to the back of his mind. Many years ago he lived in the Orre Region, and was a part of the sinister Cipher organization.
At 12, he was the youngest and most feared Admin in the whole of Cipher. After he was told of Cipher's evil plot to create Shadow Pokemon, he ditched Team Snagem and teamed up with a young girl named Jessica who had ran away from her old home near an Outskirt Stand.
The two of them travelled to Secret Labs and Bases around Orre and jumped at any chance to foil Cipher's plans. But soon after they had demolished a nearby Cipher base, they heard that a boy and his partner had been named local heros after destroying countless Team Snagem attempts at promoting their Snag Machine. When they realised Orre was in safe hands, the two decided to go their seperate ways. Shay left his old Pokemon with his trusted friend Jessica, who remained in Orre, but kept his old and favoured pal Houndoor, which he got from his father. After leaving the heroes to watch over Orre, he decided that he would begin his own journey, travelling, meeting new friends, and most importantly, raising a new and improved team of Ultimate Pokemon and bringing out their strengths and personalities. When Shay arrived in the wreckage of what used to be Kanto, he knew he was needed. He watched the region being rebuilt, intruiged at how well everyone had coped, and finally started his mission to banish evil from the once again beautiful land after hearing about Team Rocket.

Preferred Started: Budew, or anything else! =D

Here's the Next Chapter For Those Who Have Finished With Route 1. Have Fun!

Chapter 3: Cinnibar Village
(2 Posts)​

Description: A small and lonely village that lives in a state of urgency. Dust clouds are always formed over the village, making it dark and red. The ground is nothing more than ashes and dirt as if the great attack just happened a day ago. A few houses scatter the village as small huts without any sort of technology in sight. Even the pokemon center is no more than a poorly built wooden building. Though the village is poor and suffering, the villagers are quite kind and will give you advice on anything you please.

History: One of the greatest fire trainers lived on the island of Cinnibar long ago- Blaine. Along with the Pokemon Lab and Mansion, the island was one of the most beautiful and exciting places to visit. Then everything began to change.....One day, Team Rocket raided the village and attacked everything in sight. The whole village, including Blaine, fought back, but everything was burned to the ground; and worse, Blaine perished in his own gym set on fire. Cinnibar was set in a huge state of confusion after the attack and was even more after the land changes took affect. The land mass grew larger, messing up the whole village. Their only hope now is to make it through life and prosper. They did manage to build a statue of Blaine in his honor, though.

She sucked in a breath when the ball suddenly began to shake harder after a few minutes, but then released it when the ball dinged and stopped shaking, indicating it was caught "Thank goodness" she murmured in relief, going over to her newly captured Wurmple and then going over to pick up Rose.

"You okay Rose?"

"Budew" she shook her head weakly with a reassuring nod and Nina frowned "Don't worry Rose, I'll get you an Antidote or a Pecha Berry, we're bound to find some in these woods" she murmured, more as an assurance to herself than her Pokémon, glancing around the area once more, Nina caught a flash of something from the corner of her eye, she looked over to beside the tree where Rose had been tackled into and looked beside the base, it was a small light green disk, on the top of the disk it read TM 53: Energy Ball.

"Well… its not a cure, but it could be useful later on" she thought with a slight sigh before pocketing the item, then Nina trekked on through the Woody Path, hoping to come across an Antidote or some Berries to heal her Pokémon. "Buuh Deww" Rose groaned weakly in her arms "Oh hang in there Rose… I think we're getting close to a Berry bush"

"Deeew"

Rose gave another weak groan and Nina hugged her tightly while she glanced around the area "Hmm there! There's a bushel full of Oran and Pecha Berries" she happily pointed towards the grove of trees littered with said berries "Hmm this must be where the Pokémon in this forest come to get their food from" she thought walking up to a tree and plucking a Pecha Berry from it "Here you go Rose, eat this" Nina guided the berry to her poisoned Budew's mouth and Rose chewed the fruit slowly, before swallowing it and suddenly feeling refreshed.

"Buuh Dew! Budew Dew Bud"

"You feel better now Rose?" Rose nodded and grinned up at Nina "Good, now.. here's a few Oran berries, they'll replenish your health" she explained, placing Rose on the ground and pulling out a Pokéball "Wurmple C'mon out!" there was a musical snap and her recently caught Wurmple appeared, after fully materializing Wurmple blinked "Wurm? Wurmple?" realizing that she was not in her tree and with Nina and Rose, Wurmple glared at the two, but they weren't really paying attention, as Rose was munching on Oran berries to replenish her health and Nina had shoved a couple berries in Wurmple's line of vision, blocking out the glare.

"Ple?"

"Eat up Wurmple, don't want ya to be fatigued incase we run into a tough enemy out here" Wurmple blinked up at Nina's grinning face "Wurm?" Nina pulled her hand back slightly with a confused expression "Your not hungry or something?" she asked the Wurmple before her eyes widened a fraction "O-Or... are you mad cause I took you from your home" she asked soflty, Wurmple didn't know why, but she didn't want to see Nina cry, so she shook her head and climbed up Nina's hand and plucked the Oran berry from it, eating it with small bites.

Her previous grin came back full force and Nina looked at Rose, who had just finished up the last of her berries and picked her up once she was finished "Alright, I think we're ready to go" Nina murmured and Rose nodded from her spot in Nina's arms and Wurmple did the same from her shoulder "Now how uhh do we get out of here" she asked her Pokémon while glancing around with a completely lost expression.

Wurmple and Rose sweatdropped and sighed simultaneously.
 
Bryan entered the gloomy town that was known as Cinnabar Island, which had once been a beautiful and festive island with no land bridge thing, but was now a dreary island with billowing clouds overhead that seemed to give the atmosphere a red look. Shoving his hands into his pockets, Bryan ignored the chipper islanders that didn't seem to be annoyed with their situation. Instead, Bryan simply walked into the pokemon center to have Minun and Zigzagoon healed.

"Thank you, and have a good day," Nurse Joy said happily, handing Bryan's pokeballs over.

"Whatever," Bryan muttered under his breath. "Anything of interest on this island?" he questioned. "Gyms, tournaments, pokemon?"

Nurse Joy seemed to ponder it over, which seemed odd since she had lived here all her life. Maybe Cinnabar wasn't so glorious. "Well, we do have some old ruins in the jungle, but they are hard to get to and there can be some dangerous devices and pokemon inside. It used to Blaine's, the old fire gym leader's, science lab." Nurse Joy shivered. "There's no telling what sort of experiments that man has done."

Bryan had heard enough. Grabbing his pokeballs, he left the center and made a bee line for the jungle, which unfortuanently was on the other side of the island. With much walking and cursing at the cheerful people, Bryan finally made it to the deep jungle.

Ducking under some heavy vines and walking over logs for another hour, Bryan was a sweaty mess by the time he had reached the large ruins. It was a large, white building that had vines growing all over and man cracked windows that Bryan could barely squeeze through. The opening had been completely blocked off by rubble.

"Finally, Bryan murmered, narrowing his eyes from the darkness. Dropping his pokeballs, Minun and Zigzagoon appeared with a burst of light that momentarily blinded him. "Minun, use your electrcity to make this place have light."

Even though it was dark, Bryan could still see Minun glare at him. "Min," it spat, body sparking violently before letting out a large blast of light.

"Much better," Bryan said, shielding his eyes for a moment before turning to Zigzagoon. "You, go find whatever is of value here and come find me when you do."

Zigzagoon eyed him balefully before glancing at Minun. The electric type sneered at him. "Zig," Zigzagoon muttered, tail swishing in agitation before bounding off.

Bryan nodded as the normal type disappeared. "Alright, come on. Help me find something of interest here."

Minun glanced at Bryan, blue tail sparking for a moment before running up ahead, sniffing the ground in interest with a low, vicious growl that sounded quite wrong on this sort of pokemon. "Minu," Minun barked after half an hour, pointing at a book case and pushing at it.

Bryan pushed as well, grinning as it moved to reveal a hole. Ah, a hidden passage way. He paused as he heard whimpers, though they sounded far away. "Minun, lead the way," he ordered. "Let's find whose down there."

Minun gave him a look that clearly said he would rather be doing something else. Huffing, Minun led on, though rather slow just to piss Bryan off. That stopped as soon as he recieved a sharp jab in the butt with Bryan's shoe. "Min," Minun hissed, fangs bared.

It wasn't long before Bryan found a little boy that appeared to be no more than ten years old. His face was covered in tears and snot as he held an equally scared Budew to his chest. He looked up at Bryan's approach.

"O... oh! A trainer! Please help me," he begged. "My name is Justin... and I... I got lost while trying to train Budew," he sobbed, clutching the depressed grass type.

"Budew," Budew wept, clearly depressed at failing its trainer.

Bryan sighed. "Pathetic," he said bluntly, scowling at the boy. "Stop that snivelling. You're a boy, aren't you? Not some little girl. Stop crying and come on, and be on the look out for anything valuable for me. You owe me for this."

The boy gave a few sniffles. "So... sorry," he muttered. "But I don't think you'll find anything. People have searched everywhere for items."

"Zig!" a bark came from beside them, causing Justin to jump and Minun to hiss. "Gizoon," Zigzagoon said proudly, strutting up to Justin with a few items sparkling in its coat and shaking itself to release them.

Bryan picked a circular disk and whistled, wondering if this was what he thought it was. He turned to the other items to see what they were...
 
OOC: sorry I haven't posted the end for Route 1 yet...I've been having writer's block for this one, but here it is:

Chapter 2(part 2):​

The Pidgey then bent its head down and started flying towards Riolu. Riolu spread his arms out in case he needed to grab the bird. The Pidey then began to twirl around in circles and then slammed its body in to Riolu's. Riolu fell on to his back, but quickly sprang to his feet as the Pidgey recovered is balance and turned around for another hit.​

"Riolu use Counter!" Will said quickly.​

Riolu turned around quickly and stuck his paws out in front of him. He then began to charge something up and a few seconds later, right before the Pidgey hit him, a purple shield popped up and the Pidgey hit it, bouncing back all the force of the attack it had laid back to hit Riolu with. Then, Riolu fell to the ground as the Ledyba tackled him to the ground and stood on him.​

He struggled to get up and the Pidgey began to launch constant attacks on Riolu. Eventually, Riolu became tired. Will looked around for any chance to get the Ledyba off of Riolu. Then, he saw a medium sized rock. He rushed over to the rock and picked it up. He then aimed for the Ledyba's head and then chucked it at the ladybug. The rock slammed in to its head, sending it sprawling on the ground.​

Riolu spragn to his feet as the Pidgey hit the ground where Riolu was, attempting to hit him again.​

"Now Quick Attack on Ledyba!" Will said.​

Riolu then darted towards Ledyba. The Pidgey dove at Riolu, attempting to stop him form hurting Ledyba, but it was to no avail. Riolu darted past the aimed spot just in time and slammed his palm in to the Ledyba. Ledyba flipped over and panted heavily. Will was a little confused, he had only thrown a rock at it and Riolu had hit it. That was it, but it was already tired.​

He shrugged and watched as Riolu did a back flip and landed on his feet, after dodging the Pidgey(dodged by doing the back flip). Riolu then smirked as the Pidgey slammed in to Ledyba and they were both sprawling on the ground in confusion.​

"Riolu use Quick Attack again!" Will said.​

Riolu then darted closer to them and kciked them both. They both went flying in to the air, but in seperate directions. Ledyba was sent flying in to the base of a tree and Pidgey was sent flying in to the air, but recovered in midair and dove at Riolu. Unexpectantly, Pidgey slammed in to Riolu, sending him sprawling on the ground.​

Then, the Ledyba appeared next to the Pidgey and they began dashing at Riolu.​

"Counter!" Will shouted.​

Quickly, Riolu sprung to his feet and in seconds a purple shield formed in front of him. The Ledyba and Pidgey slammed in to it and flew backwards. The Pidgey recovered in midair and dove at Riolu. Riolu jumped out of the way and landed, skidding across the ground. He then fell to one knee exhausted. Will looked at the Ledyba, who was lying on the forest floor, knocked out. He sighed with relief knowing that at least one Pokemon was down.​

"Quick Attack!" Will shouted.​

Riolu slowly rose to his feet and then slammed back to his knee. He looked pained and then, Max remembered something someone had told him. Counter came at a price, the Pokemon using it was hit with recoil. Will slammed his palm in to his head for being so stupid.​

Whay hadn't I remembered that? he asked himself.​

The Pidgey then slammed in to Riolu, sending him flying in to the base of a tree. Riolu hit the tree and slowly slid to the ground. Riolu slowly opened his eyes and then began to rise to his feet.​

"Fine then." Will muttered to himself. "Riolu use Endue first and then Quick Attack!"​

Riolu nodded as he stuck his right paw on the tree for a brace. Then he began to glow a bright orange and thenw ent back to his natural color. The Pidgey then darted at Riolu and Riolu did the same, but as he ran, it obviously pained him to do so. The two Pokemon slammed in to eachother, kicking up a mountain of dust in to the air, enoguh atleast to where Will couldn't see the outcome.​

The dust began to settle and Riolu was sitting against a tree with one eye open as the Pidgey was lying on the forest floor knocked out. Will sighed with relief and rushed over to Riolu. Riolu was in obvious pain, but Will couldn't help but smile. Riolu looked up at him and smiled too.​

"We won buddy." Will said.​

Riolu nodded and then, he fainted. Will picked up his tired little Pokemon and stood up. HE then began walking towards the first town he would meet on his journey, cradling his little Pokemon in his arms.​

It was nearing nightfall when Alex arrived in Cinnibar Village. He was so happy to have finally reached his goal, where he could stop without being accosted by wild Pokémon, that at first he did not believe his eyes. Only after he staggered to the closest building, and felt the cool wood beneath his hand, did he believe that he had finally reached civilization.

But, looking around, it didn't look as if he had truly reached civilization, more of a half way point between the wild and the civilized. The "town" was nothing more then a ramshackle collection of houses. The whole town also seemed almost dusty, that is dust clung to everything, and whenever there was a breeze ash blew through the air. And the houses, those that there were, looked run down, almost as if they hadn't been repaired in years. But, when he first set foot in the village, Alex was in no shape to notice any of this. He was fatigued, almost collapsing with each step. His only thought was to find a place to rest. Fortunately, his wanderings through town quickly brought him to the Pokémon Center. Knowing that he would be able get a good meal, and some rest there, he quickly opened the door, preparing to go in.

When he entered the Pokémon center he saw a young trainer, one he recognized from the lab, talking to Nurse Joy. He arrived just in time to catch the tail end of their conversation, Nurse Joy said "Well, we do have some old ruins in the jungle, but they are hard to get to and there can be some dangerous devices and pokemon inside. It used to Blaine's, the old fire gym leader's, science lab. There's no telling what sort of experiments that man has done." The boy reacted to this somewhat placidly, and left. He did not appear to notice Alex, who he walked past without a comment. Alex then walked towards the counter, and gave his pokeball's to Nurse Joy. She quickly healed the Pokémon, and seeing his weariness, quickly led him to the backroom. There she showed him the bed, and said

"You look tired, why don't you get some sleep and we can get you something to eat in the morning?" Entranced by the possibility of sleeping in a real bed, Alex could only nod. Smiling, Nurse Joy left him alone, going back to man her station. Alex took off his backpack, and

It was only as he got into bed, ready to slip into unconsciousness that he remembered something vital: he was still, technically a fugitive. Although he doubted that child services would come to look for him in this small town, there was still a small chance. So, reenergized by the threat of Child Services taking him away, he grabbed his bag, and crept out of the backroom. When he returned to the, now darkened, front room he found Nurse Joy talking to a tall man. Hoping to avoid their attention, he dove behind a chair and listened as they conversed. The man was talking, saying

"Look Nurse Joy, I'm sorry to disturb you, but I just wanted to tell you that we are still missing the kids. They were apparently playing in the old ruins when they disappeared. We had no idea what happened to them,-"although the man, presumably, kept on talking Alex heard no more, because he stealthily slipped out of the door of the Pokémon Center at that moment. Outside he was greeted by the cool night air, which blew invisible ash into his face, giving him another needed adrenaline boost.

After stumbling around for a few minutes, Alex finally, after climbing a small hill, found a sort of burned down building, which looked both stable enough and abandoned enough to sleep in. So, without a second thought Alex, using his backpack as a pillow, lay down to sleep.

He slept a deep undisturbed sleep, only waking hours later when the sun was high in the sky. It was only then, looking around that he realized that these must be the ruins that had been discussed earlier. Well, they certainly looked like ruins; a small collection of walls, broken down, leaning precariously, and loose stones. Like the rest of the village, the buildings looked as if they had seen better days.

Not wanting to be seen in such a place, the man had mentioned search parties after all. Alex hastily walked through the ruins heading for the town beyond, a bit too hastily. As he was walking, Alex felt the ground give out beneath his feet. He barely had time to react. In a desperate gamble he grabbed ineffectually at the ground as he fell through. Although he was initially able to check his fall, it proved but a temporary measure. He tried his best but the ground proved too slippery, and he slowly lost ground. After a few seconds he lost his grip completely and plummeted into the darkness.
