The Onix-pected

Jimmy was closing in to Azalea Town, but he had to get through the Union Cave. He knows since it's crawling with Onix he doesn't have any Water Pokemon, so he has to count on Serena. Allison remained on his shoulder. Jimmy-"Ally, is there any time you'll go inside of a Poke Ball? (All she did was snuggle him) Sigh...guess I can't blame ya..." They soon approached a cave. Jimmy-"I guess this must be the entrance to Union Cave." Voices-"Jimmy!" Jimmy-"Hm? (He spots Amy and Kamon) Amy, Kamon, I thought you two would be in Azalea by now." Kamon-"We would, but we got sidetraacked." Amy-"Yeah right. Kamon didn't have a Water Pokemon, so virtually he needed my help." Kaamon-"No I don't." Amy-"Then why were you waiting outside the cave?" Kamon-"I...er...well..." Amy-"What? Delcatty got your tongue?" Kamon-"Grrr." Jimmy-"Look, Amy is here so let's just be thankful she has her Totodile." So they went into the tunnel.

As they progress the trio haven't seen a single Onix. Amy-"Unusually quiet isn't it?" Kamon-"Not really. I hear Zubat and a few Rattata." Amy-"Yeah, but no Onix." Jimmy-"Hmm...perhaps there are none here." Amy-"If that's so...then we can move on." So they continued on to the exit. Kamon-"Whew, there it is, the exit." Suddenly there was a rumble. Jimmy-"What is that?" Kamon-"An earthquake?" An Onix appeared before them." Amy-"It's an Onix. Good timing;" Kamon-"Good timing?!" Amy-"This is my opportunity to capture one. Go Totodile. Use Water gun." Onix got soaked, but then he countered with Rock Throw. Jimmy-"It's Onix's rock Throw." Amy-"Dodge and use Water gun again."Onix was hit and down. Kamon-"Onix is down." Amy-"Go Poke Ball. (She throws it at it and waits...waits...waits...Onix was caught) Yes! I got an Onix!" Jimmy-"Great catch Amy." Amy-"Thanks Jimmy. Now how about we exit this cave." Kamon-"Yeah." And the three friends leave Union Cave and head for Azalea Town together.

Nido love

It's been 2 weeks since Jimmy left Violet City and makes his way towards Azalea Town. While his Pokemon played, with the exception of Allison who was napping on his lap, Jimmy looks at his Zephyr Badge. Jimmy-"The Zephyr Badge. Hard to believe it's only been 2 weeks and it still hasn't sunk in we won it." Brian was drinking some water by a nearby stream as Ariel approaches him. He sees her and she blushes again. He still was a bit confused about her. Jimmy took notice and smiles. He puts Allison down and goes over to them. Jimmy-"Hey you two. (Ariel sees him and leaps into Jimmy's arms) Careful Ariel. You do have poisonous barbs. Brian, Ariel seems interested in you. If you ask me, she likes you." Brian was a little stunned but he looks at Ariel and she blushes again and presses her head into Jimmy's arm. Brian shows a little red on his cheeks. Jimmy-"Seems you have noticed."
Voices-"Muhahahahaha!" Jimmy-"Huh? Who's there?" Voice 1-"We finally found you." Voice 2-"We'll get our revenge on you brat." Voice-"And you will fear-" Jimmy-"Hey, don't I recognize those voices?" Team Dread appears. Lawrence-"It is I, Lawrence." Chelsea-"Chelsea." Bugeze-"And I, Bugeze." All 3-"And we're Team Dread." Jimmy-"Oh....your that weird group who tried to steal those Pokemon at the Pokemon Center in Violet City." T.D.-"Weird?!" Lawrence-"How dare you mock us." Chelsea-"We'll make you pay for that." Bugeze-"Enough chit-chat. Hand over those Pokemon." Jimmy-"Hey, I caught them fair and square. Go find your own." Chelsea-"Ooh, but we don't want just any old Pokemon." Lawrence-"Yours is special." Jimmy-"Special? How?" Bugeze-"Well, they show great power despite being so young. The type of primo Pokemon our boss needs." Jimmy-"Strong so young? Your joking right? (Though Katrina did handle Falkner's Pidgeotto rather well...)"
T.D.-"So hand them over." Jimmy-"No way. These Pokemon are my friends, and I'll never let you crooks get your hands on them." Lawrence-"Then we'll do it the hard way." T.D.-"Goooo!" Tyrogue, Grimer, and Venonat appeared. Lawrence-"Pound attack Grimer." Jimmy dodges. Chelsea-"Tackle Tyrogue." Bugeze-"You use Poison Sting Venonat." Jimmy dodges them. Jimmy-"Alright you creeps. (Notices Brian wants to battle, and so does Ariel) So...you two wanna go? Alright then. Team Love will take you on." Lawrence-"Team Love?!" Chelsea-"Hey, don't ruin our team's name." Bugeze-"Let's get him." Jimmy-"Double Tackle guys." T.D.'s Pokemon got hit. Lawrence-"Sludge attack Grimer." Bugeze-"Poison Sting Venonat." Jimmy-"We'll use Poison sting too." It was a stalemate. Jimmy-"Now use Scratch Ariel, and use Horn attack Brian."Grimer and Venonat got hit and taken out. Jimmy-"Now Double Kick." Tyrogue was taken out. Lawrence-"He tooked us out." They flee. Chelsea-"You won this round." Bugeze-"But you won't next time." Jimmy-"We did it. Good job you two." Brian and Ariel were happy. Brian then approaches Ariel, and he blushes. Jimmy-"Hehehe. Looks like you two do like each other after all." With Team Dread gone for now, Jimmy continues on as he heads for Azalea Town. And for Brian and Ariel, there's love in the air for these two.

Enter Team Dread

It was sunset as Jimmy made it back to the Violet City Pokemon Center. He enters and takes his Pokemon to Nurse Joy, but Allison stays with him. He heads over to groom her. Voice-"What a nice Vulpix." Jimmy-"Huh?" He turns and ses another trainer with a Sandshrew, Sandslash, and a Poliwrath. Marcus-"She sure is cute." Jimmy-"Oh, hello. You like my Vulpix?" Marcus-"Oh yeah. She reminds me of mine. The name's Marcus." Jimmy-"I'm Jimmy. (Notices a Badge Case) So your a Pokemon Trainer too?" Marcus-"Yep. Been one for quite a while." Jimmy-"I'm just starting out as one." Marcus-"So, your a rookie. Don't let the pressure get to ya." Jimmy-"I won't. Your Poliwrath, Sandshrew and Sandslash look impressive." Marcus-"Thanks."
Night falls. A hot air baloon was floating in the air. Lawrence-"The target is in site." Chelsea-"Good. We'll make our leader proud." Bugeze-"And begin our reign of terror in Johto." Jimmy got his Pokemon back and was feeding them. Marcus-"Sandshrew and my other Pokemon like that Pokemon food of yours Jimmy." Jimmy-"Thanks. My dad taught me how and I had practice making some. Trial and error." Marcus-"Yeah. I had more errors." Jimmy-"I wonder where Amy and Kamon went." Marcus-"Was one sounding like a cocky person and the other with some kind of a locket?" Jimmy-"Yeah." Marcus-"Oh. They left a while back. The boy said he's off to Azalea town and the girl said she was going to Union Cave to catch an Onix." Jimmy-"Oh. Well, guess I'll be heading for Azalea in the morning." Suddenly there's a siren going off. Marcus-"Uh oh, sounds like trouble." Jimmy-"What's going on?" Jenny's voice-"This is Officer Jenny with urgent news. Pokemon thieves have been spotted in the area. Avoid them if you can. I repeat..." Lawrence-"There's the Pokemon Center." Chelsea-"Let's get to work." Bugeze-"Right." They threw their Poke Balls down through the top of the opening of the center. A Tyrogue, A Grimer, and a Venonat appeared and Grimer uses Poison Gas. Jimmy-"Gah! What's going on?"
Chelsea-"We'll tell you what's going on." Lawrence-"But you won't like it." Bugeze-"We're Team Dread, and we're here to take all the Pokemon this Center has." Marcus-"What?!" Joy-"You can't. There are sick and injured Pokemon here." Chelsea-"True, but we'll find some good ones...like those over there." Marcus-"What? Mine? I won't let you take 'em." Bugeze-"We'll see about that. Use Poison Sting Venonat." Marcus-"You use Poison Sting too Sandshrew." It was a stalemate. Chelsea-"Tackle attack Tyrogue." Sandshrew was hit. Marcus-"Hang in there Sandshrew. Poliwrath, use Water Gun and Sandslash, use Swift." Lawrence-"Smokescreen Grimer." They couldn't see. Marcus-"Can't *cough* see." Jimmy-"Use Gust Katrina." She blows the smoke away. Chelsea-"Our cover's blown. Oh well, we'll make due with these." Jimmy-"They got your Pokemon Marcus." Marcus-"Not a problem. Sandslash, use Slash." He cuts them free. Team Dread-"Nooooooo!" Jimmy-"Serena use Razor Leaf and Allison use Ember. (Dread's Pokemon got hit) Kevin, Katrina, Brian and Ariel, group Tackle. (Their Pokemon got hammered) Now Katrina, Whirlwind." She blows Team Dread out of the center just as Officer Jenny arrives. Jenny-"Wow. Talk about getting the wind knocked out of you."
As dawn breaks Team Dread were hanging by their baloon. Chelsea-"Blast. How can a kid beat us. The best of the best of Team Dread?" Lawrence-"Don't know, but those Pokemon of his were tough despite being so young." Bugeze-"Their a primo package. Just the kind our boss wants." Chelsea-"We'll get that brat's Pokemon soon enough." They laughed. Back at the center, Jimmy was getting ready to go. Marcus-"Your Pokemon were something else Jimmy. I'm impress." Jimmy-"Thanks. They deserve the credit. So, where your going Marcus?" Marcus-"I won my Zephyr Badge two days ago but I'll hang out in Violet City one more day before heading out." Jimmy-"So your gonna try out for the Johto League too? Cool." Marcus-"Keep up with your training Jimmy." Jimmy-"You too Marcus." And Jimmy says goodbye to Marcus and he heads for Azalea Town, where his next Gym Battle awaits.

Birds of a feather

Jimmy and friends have found the Violet Gym. Kamon-"Wow. The Violet City Gym. We're just a couple of steps away from winning our first badge." Amy-"Yeah. But...who'll go first?" They looked at each other. Kamon-"Well, it's obvious I'll go first." Amy-"Fat chance. It's ladies first." Kamon-"Ha! I'll beat the Gym Leader quick then you can go." Amy-"No way!" Jimmy-"Enough you two. Let's settle it with rock, paper scissors." So they do. Kamon won and Amy would go second, leaving Jimmy last. Jimmy-"Well, I'm going to the Pokemon Center." And Jimmy goes off.
He arrives at the center and gts his Pokemon checked out. He awaits for his Pokemon to be ready. He looks out the window. Voice-"Looking at the sky I see." Jimmy-"Huh?" Jimmy looks over and sees a trainer. Falkner-"You were looking at the sky. Quite a sight, am I right?" Jimmy-"Yeah. Hm? Cool, you got a Pidgeot." Falkner-"Yes. He has been my partner from the beginning." Jimmy-"Well, I have a Pidgey. Maybe someday she'll be a Pidgeot too." Falkner-"Well, they are loyal and trustworthy Pokemon." Kamon-"Hey Jimmy, you found the Gym Leader." Jimmy-"Huh? What Gym Leader?" Falkner-"He means me. I'm the Violet Gym Leader, Falkner." Jimmy-"Wow. Kamon, did you win?" Kamon-"Yep. See my Zephyr Badge." Jimmy-"Nice. And Amy?" Kamon-"She hasn't battle yet. She's at the Gym waiting for Falkner." Falkner-"Well, I'll see you at the Gym later Jimmy." He leaves. Half an hour later Amy shows up. Jimmy-"How did you do Amy?" Amy-"I did well." Jimmy-"Looks like its my turn then." And Jimmy heads off to the Violet Gym.
Jimmy comes to the Violet Gym. Falkner-"Well, Jimmy, your ready?" Jimmy-"Yep." They go in and take the elevator. Falkner-"Jimmy, welcome to my Gym." They were on top of the roof. Jimmy-"Awesome. The battlefield's on the roof." Falkner-"What better place for Flying Pokemon to shine." Jimmy-"Well, let's get started." They took their places on the field. Ref.-"This Violet Gym Battle will begin between Falkner the Violet Gym Leader and the challenger Jimmy of New Bark Town. Each trainer will use 2 Pokemon each. Only the challenger can switch Pokemon. The winner will receive the Zephyr Badge. Now begin." Falkner-"Go Hoothoot." Jimmy-"And I'll go with Serena." They appear. Jimmy-"Let's do this." Jimmy-"Bad call Jimbo." Jimmy-"Bad call?" Falkner-"You sent a Grass Pokemon into this battle. Don't you know Grass types are weak against Flying types? And you said you had a Pidgey." Jimmy-"Well Falkner, you shouldn't judge a Pokemon just by type." Falkner-"Then you make the first move." Jimmy-"Gladly. Use Razor Leaf." Falkner-"Fly up then use Tackle." Jimmy-"Dodge then go with Vine Whip." Falkner-"Dive bomb that Chikorita and use Peck." Serena gets pecked. Jimmy-"Hang in there Serena. Use Sweet Scent." Hoothoot slowed down. Falkner-"Aaa! Hoothoot!" Jimmy-"Now use Razor Leaf then use Tackle." Hoothoot got hammered and was taken out. Ref-"Hoothoot is unable to battle. Chikorita wins." Jimmy-"Way da go Serena."
Falkner-"Return Hoothoot. Nice one Jimmy. Hoothoot and I never lost to a Grass Pokemon before. Nice work. Go Pidgeotto." He appears. Jimmy-"A Pidgeotto? Not your Pidgeot?" Falkner-"My Pidgeot is too high a level for rookies. Instead, my Pidgeotto will do fine." Jimmy-"Alright. Serena, let's make it a sweep. Razor Leaf (Pidgeotto dodges it) Whoa, it's fast." Falkner-"Use Gust Pidgeotto." Serena was hit and taken out. Ref-"Chikorita is unable to battle. Pidgeotto wins." Jimmy-"Return Serena. Take a good rest. Now Katrina, your up." She appears. Falkner-"Now we'll see who has the better bird Pokemon. Use Gust." Jimmy-"We'll use Gust too." It was a stalemate. Falkner-"A tie?! Use Whirlwind." Jimmy-"Do the same Katrina." Another tie. Falkner-(Thinks)"How can this be? That Pidgey is matching Pidgeotto's strength." Jimmy-"Use Quick Attack. (Pidgeotto was hit) Now use Gust." Falkner-"Quick, use your Quick Attack. (Pidgeotto got caught before going into a Quick Attack) Nooooo!" Jimmy-"Now Whirlwind." Pidgeotto took a big hit and slams into the roof. He was out. Ref-"Pidgeotto can't continue. Pidgey wins. The winner of this battle is Jimmy of New Bark Town." Jimmy-"Yes. We won." Falkner-"Return Pidgeotto. You deserve a good rest. The better team won this time."
Sunset. Jimmy and Falkner were ouside the Gym with some of the Gym's trainers. Falkner-"Nice work Jimmy. You commanded your Pokemon with admirable skill. I'm proud to give you this Zephyr Badge." Jimmy takes it. Jimmy-"Thanks Falkner. This badge doesn't just belong to me. It belongs to all my Pokemon." Falkner-"Can't argue with you there. If you take your Pokemon training seriously, then head for Azalea Town. It's the closest city here that has a Gym." Jimmy-"Okay. Thanks Falkner." Jimmy leaves as Falkner and the trainers wave goodbye. With his first Gym Badge under his belt, Jimmy takes the first step to competing in the Johto League.

Eevee-ing the score

Jimmy, Amy, and Kamon were moving closer to the Violet Gym. They stopped and rested under a tree. They then fell asleep. Jimmy wakes up and feels something licking his face. Jimmy-"Allison...cut it out. (He sits up and sees her still sleeping) Then who...(He sees an Eevee licking his hand) Hi there little fella. (The Eevee snuggles Jimmy's side) That tickles." Voice-"There you are." Jimmy-"Huh?" He sees a man with 6 other Eevees. The 6 then ran to Jimmy. Don-"Hi. Sorry if my Eevee bothered you." Jimmy-"He didn't." Amy, Allison, and Kamon woke up. Kamon-"What's with the...noise?"
They went to Don's house. Jimmy-"I'm Jimmy, and this is Kamon, Amy, and this is Allison, my Vulpix." Don-"She's a cutie. I'm Don." Amy-"So what's with the Eevees' Don?" Don-"They belong to me. I raised each of em. The 5 hanging with each other are siblings. The 2 right here are related as sister and brother." Kamon-"They keep you busy." Don-"They do." Amy-"Eevee is the only Pokemon in the world that evolves into one of 7 different Pokemon...depending on the situation. Some kimono girls in my hometown have evolved Eevees." Don-"Yep. Eevee can evolve to one of 7 different forms. A Thunder Stone makes it a Jolteon, a Water Stone into Vaporeon, a Fire Stone to Flareon, soaking up enough sunlight makes it an Espeon, moonlight makes it an Umbreon, and a special kind of ice makes it a Glaceon, while a special moss makes it a Leafeon."Kamon-"Wow."
The 7 Eevees snuggles Jimmy. Don-"They really like you Jimmy. Say, mind if you take all 7 with you?" Jimmy-"Huh? Me?" Don-"Yes. I planned on moving to the Sinnoh region, but I needed to find a trainer who would take care of these 7 Eevees. I had hoped this trainer wuld love them with all their heart. And you fit that description. What do you say Jimmy?" Jimmy-"Sure Don." Don-"Here, use these special Poke Balls. I collected them during my days as a trainer. Their the Fast Ball-good for fast Pokemon, Heavy Ball-for Pokemon who weigh a lot, Lure Ball-for Water Pokemon, Level Ball-for Pokemon who are low in level, Love Ball, for Pokemon with different genders, Moon Ball-for Moon Stone evolving Pokemon, and Friend Ball-which makes Pokemon more friendly. I also have this Great Ball, and this Nest Ball I kept during my travels to the Hoenn region. The Nest Ball works just like the Level Ball." Jimmy-"Thanks. He takes them. (He names then Kevin, Jason, Michael, Sarah, Lisa, Priscilla, and Oliver, and puts them each in the special Poke Balls) That's quite a hall. (Suddenly 6 of the 7 balls disappeared, leaving only the Fast Ball with Kevin inside) Hey, what happened to the other Poke Balls?"
Don-"Jimmy, did you get your Pokedex from Prof. Elm?" Jimmy-"Yes." Don-"Then it's okay. The other Eevees were transported to his lab. A Pokemon Trainer is only allowed to take 6 Pokemon at a time. You can call him on that video phone there." Jimmy-"Thanks." So Jimmy calls Prof. Elm. Elm-"Yes Jimmy. Your Eevees are here safe and sound." Jimmy-"That's good." Elm-"And I see you caught up to Kamon and Amy. So, are you 3 gonna try out for the Johto League.?" Jimmy-"Yeah. How did you know?" Elm-"Evander, Simon, Abigail, and Suzanna are doing the same thing." Kamon-"That's awesome." Elm-"Well, I wish you each good luck." Trio-"Thanks." A short time later they leave Don's house. Don-"The Gym's located downtown. I wish you kids the best of luck, and Jimmy, take great care of your new Eevees." Jimmy-"I will Don." Amy-"And safe trip to the Sinnoh region." Don-"Thanks kids. Kamon-"Take care Don." And Amy, Kamon, and Jimmy move on. Their next stop: the Violet City Gym.

Violet City Schooling

Jimmy-"Slow down Kamon." Amy-"Yeah. Where's the fire?" The three friends make it up a hill. Kamon-"There it is. Violet City. We're almost there." They continued on. Minutes later they pass by a school. A few kids saw them. Kid 1-"Look. He has a Pokemon." The children ran to the trio. Kamon-"Huh? What's with all the kids?" Ms. Morris-"Hello. Forgive my students. They love to see Pokemon. And when they saw your Vulpix, they were really happy." Amy-"I guess this must be a Pokemon Academy." Ms. Morris-"It is. Our students are learning the basic battle styles. We're expecting some top trainers to visit our school later today, and the Violet Gym Leader, Falkner." Kamon-"Cool. The 3 of us are heading for his Gym now." Ms. Morris-"Before you go, pay a visit to the Sprout Tower." Amy-"The Sprout Tower?" Ms. Morris-"Yes. It's up ahead." Jimmy-"Okay. We'll go there and see it." And the trio leave, waving good-bye to Ms. Morris and her students.
Minutes later they find Sprout Tower. Amy-"So this is Sprout Tower." Old man-"It is." Trio-"Huh?" They see an old man. Old man-"So you youngsters going inside the tower?" Jimmy-"Yes. We are." Old man-"Well, enjoy yourselves." They went in. Inside they saw some paintings and statues of a Bellsprout. Kamon-"What's with all the Bellsprout?" Jimmy-"Take a look at the beam." They saw a large beam of wood swaying back and forth. Amy-"It's going back and forth...like a Bellsprout. I get it. This tower represents trainers who begin their journey. And like a sprout, it takes time to grow." Jimmy-"And the tower also honors Bellsprout." An hour later they leave the Sprout Tower. Kamon-"Time to head into Violet City." And the 3 friends went on their way.

To dream the dream

It was night as Jimmy, Amy, and Kamon campd out for the night. Jimmy had prepared food for them and their Pokemon. Amy-"So you have a Chikorita, a Pidgey, a male and female Nidoran, and a Vulpix. Nice. I have a Totodile, Hoothoot, and Aipom." Jimmy-"And you Kamon?" Kamon-"Cyndaquil, Spearow, and Mareep." Amy-"This food is delicious Jimmy." Jimmy-"Thanks. My dad tells me cooking runs in our family." Kamon-"Well, your family's really talented. How your dad did in the Champions League?" Jimmy-"You know, I forgot to ask my mom. It's been two weeks." Amy-"You and Kamon know each other?" Jimmy-"Uh huh." Kamon-"Jimmy and I went to Pokemon Trainer School together in New Bark Town. He was top of the class there." Amy-"Cool. I was taught by my sisters and the Ecruteak Gym." Kamon-"You learned at a Pokemon Gym? That's awesome." Jimmy-"So your from Ecruteak City Amy?" Amy-"Yep."
Serena snuggled up against Jimmy. Jimmy-"Hey, cut it out." Amy-"Aww...that's cute. Jimmy, your Chikorita likes you a lot. It's like she has a crush on you." Kamon-"A crush?!" Kamon laughs. Jimmy-"Great. (He sees Ariel looking at Brian again, and she blushes again when Brian looked at her. She then goes to Jimmy) Ariel...does she have...a crush on me too?" Amy-"Yep, though she's fixated to Brian as much as she is to you. And Allison-" Jimmy-"Let me guess...she's fixated on me." She nods. Kamon-"Your a real Pied Piper of female Pokemon Jimmy." Jimmy-"Funny." Amy-"I think you got that among certain females. Just continue being you."
A few minutes passed. Kamon-"I wanted to be just like mu dad and become a great Pokemon Master." Amy-"Your dream huh? Well, I like to be a trainer too, but my real dream is to open up my very own Pokemon Salon. What about you Jimmy?" Well, I just want to become a great Pokemon Trainer. But..." Amy-"But what?" Jimmy-"I wonder...well, nevermind. I just think there maybe something more for me. For now, being a Trainer is what I wanna do." Amy-"You'll be okay Jimmy." Kamon-"Yeah. Amy's right." Jimmy smiles. They soon wen to bed. Tomarrow, the 3 friends head into Violet City, site of the first Pokemon Gym.
