Adventure in Hoenn

"How about Ann?" I asked. The ralts shook her head. "Okay. Bella?" I asked. Again a shake of the head. "How about Jessica?" I asked. Another shake of the head. "Do you even want a nickname?" I asked. She shook her head.

"So you just want me to call you ralts?" I asked. She nodded her head. "Okay then ralts let's go." I said. With that decided we walked the rest of the day, and then when night fell I pulled out my tent, and set it up. I put ralts, and Blaze back into their pokeballs, and went to sleep.

The next day I brought my pokemon back out, and packed up my things. We continued walking until noon, when we stopped, and had lunch. After that I called Blaze, and ralts over, and said, "We're traveling alone, but that doesn't mean we can't get some training in. I want you two to fight eachother."

They got into positions, and I called, "Go!" Ralts started by using teleport to get behind Blaze, and used psybeam, but he dodged it. He shot an ember at ralts, but she teleported out of the way, and used confuse ray at Blaze.

Blaze used quick attack to dodge it, and ram into ralts. She was sent flying, but in midair she used teleport, and popped up behind Blaze. She used psybeam again, this time hitting him straight on, sending him skidding across the ground.

He quickly got up, and used quick attack to run at ralts, but she used teleport. He kept running though, and when he reached ralts he used ember close up for a knockout. "You both did great." I told them, heading over to where they were.

I pulled out a potion from my bag, and sprayed them on ralts's and Blaze's wounds, and they both winced. "Come on, we can reach Petalburg in a few more hours if we leave now." I told them, picking them up. "Ralts." "Torchic tor." they complained.

"I know you can walk, but you two just had a battle. You need to rest." I said. For another 4 hours I walked, until we reached Petalburg city. "Finally!" I said. I ran over to the pokemon center, and gave them to Nurse Joy. Like last time, I was called back in 10 minutes.

"Let's go to the gym now." I said. They nodded, and followed me to the Petalburg gym, which looked more like a dojo then anything. I entered it, and called out, "Where's the gym leader?" Suddenly everybody was quiet, and a man wearing a purple sweater came up to me.

"I see you're still wearing that old thing. You never did have any sense of style Dad." I said. He laughed at me, and said, "Well then, I guess you inherited that from me." I laughed along too, and said, "Yeah, I guess I did." "You must be starving, let's get something to eat." he said.

I nodded in agreement, and we left to go find a resteraunt. When we found one we ordered some food, and sat down. "So how's your mother doing?" he asked. "She's good." I said my mouth filled with chicken. "That's good." he said taking a bite of his hamburger. "So how's vigaroth doing?" I asked.

"He's as strong as ever. You better watch out when you come to battle me." he said. "Don't underestimate me." I said. He nodded, and said, "I want you to get stronger, and then come back to challenge me." "I will." I said finishing my food off.

"I wouldn't expect any less. How about you and your pokemon stay with me tonight." he offered. "Sure." I said. He finished his meal, and we left, heading for the gym. When we got there we went in, and found vigaroth waiting for us, and slaking dozing on the floor.

"Vigaroth." vigaroth said, crushing me in a bear hug. "It's good to see you too vigaroth." I said. "Vigaroth?" he questioned staring at my pokemon. "Yes, that's Blaze, and that's ralts." I told him. "Vigaroth." he said to them. "Torchic." "Ralts." they responded, before running off.

"Looks like they're friends already." my Dad said. "Yeah." I agreed. "Tell me about your journey so far." he said leading the way into the kitchen. I grabbed a cup, and got some coke, and then started to tell him about what happened so far. When I finished my Dad was laughing.

"So a zigzagoon snatched your sandwich." he said in between laughs. "Yeah." I said laughing a little too. "Well would you look at the time." he said after he stopped laughing. I looked at the clock, and was surprised to see that it was already 8. "You plan on challenging Roxanne don't you?" he asked.

"Yup." I said. "Well, she should be on tv about now. Wanna watch?" my Dad asked. "Nah. I think I'll go to bed." I said.
