The battle at the Pewter City Gym continued as the newly evolved Black Dragonite glared at its opponent. Racheal quickly resume her place as a trainer in the heat of battle, while Reshon moved off of the arena's square.

"You and your Pokemon are very stubborn, but that won't stop us from winning," Racheal smiled as she tried to size up her opponent.

Reshon simply stared at her in silence. Her eyes, which are normally a deep brown were clouded over. This to a very observant trainer would have been a very scary thing to see, but Racheal had never been too observant. Then without warning, Black Dragonite attacked Kangaskan, punching him hard in the chest causing Kangaskan to knee over. Then in a quick quarter spin move smacked Kangaskan in the face with her tail. She was using a normal tail whip attack, which left a big hole in his defense as his head jerked to the side. Then in a lightning fast strike, Black Dragonite sent Kangaskan flying with a Mega Punch to the exposed belly. Kangaskan hit the mat and laid still.

"The match goes to Reshon," Brown beamed, but it wasn't over with yet as Black Dragonite flew toward Racheal. Her right arm pulled back in another Mega Punch.

"Noooo," Racheal screamed as she fell back in fear. Brown looked on in shock as the pokemon attacked, but Racheal never felt the blow as Black Dragonite's fist collided with a black shield as Reshon stood in front of her pokemon. Her eyes still in a trance-like state. "Enough," she yelled and the once powerful Black Dragonite was covered in a bright white glow reducing her to her form state as Black Dratini. Then the mood past and Reshon eyes cleared removing the dark shield before she even realized that it was there.

"Woah," Brown exclaim after all of this was over.

"Did we win?" Reshon asked her pokemon, who stared up at her in confusion.

"Dratini?" Black Dratini answered back.

"Reshon," Racheal trembled," wh-what happen to you?"

"Huh?"

"Don't try to weasel your way out of this." Brown quickly butted in," Reshon won, so you have to give her anything she wishes from your bag or belt."

Racheal mumbled as she remembered the deal and held up her bag to the girl and then quickly took off her belt. Surprisingly, out of all the great things Racheal had in her bag and the powerful pokemon she had on her belt, Reshon chose a small box with four elemental stones in it. These stones were the Thunder stone, the Fire stone, the Water stone, and the Leaf stone, each one useless to Racheal because she didn't have any pokemon that could evolve that way anyway. As for Reshon, these things were just pretty trinkets, and for now Brown had no plan of informing her of there true nature.

"Oh well, I guess I could always come back here later," Racheal moaned as she grabbed her things and recalled her still unconscious pokemon. "I guess I better get going if I planing to get pass Mount Moon before it gets dark." After this comment, Racheal left Reshon and Brown alone with there thoughts.

"Reshon," Brown look at her strangely," do you know what happen just a few minutes ago?"

"No, not really," Reshon quickly answered," was it something important?"

"No I guess not." "Well you should probably get back to bed," Brown proclaimed. "You'll have a hard journey ahead of you in the morning."

"I guess," Reshon smirked as Black Dratini and her walked back to their rooms.

"A power unlike any other," Brown mumble to himself as he left the gym and headed for home.

Later on that day…the trio left the Pewter City gym and headed toward Mount Moon. Here they would soon discover the meaning of friendship and the meaning of true hardship as they began their journey through the mountain.

"Ok," Norman began," according to the map that boy gave me the quickest route through Mt. Moon is a side tunnel."

"Yeah, but side tunnels are normally more dangerous," Michelle butted in.

"But aren't those the best places to find new pokemon?" Reshon questioned.

"Yeah, but they are DANGEROUS!" Michelle yelled," and if we get caught in a cave-in it won't really matter how many new pokemon you catch."

"Well, don't you have a diglett?" Norman asked her.

"I said that I was a rock type trainer not a ground/rock trainer!" Michelle sneers.

"But you do have a Nidoking," Reshon remind her.

"Yeah, but I also have a Nidorina," Michelle mumbles. "A friend gave them to me, OK!"

"Fine, enough arguing," Norman step in. "Lets just take the main path."

"It may be slower, but we will definitely make it to the other side."

"Fine," Reshon mumbled defeatly, but I get first crack at any pokemon we find.

"Agree," Michelle smirked.

Then the trio head into the opening at the foot of the mountain. Meanwhile, above them a shadowy figure on a bird type pokemon glare.

"It seems that now is the time to strike," the figure laugh as the huge bird pokemon raise up its head and let out a huge," FEEEEEEEE!"

"Pi?" Pichu arouse from his sleep in the straps on Norman's back as they enter the tunnel. The small mouse type pokemon could have sworn that it had heard a noise, but what could it have been? He strains his huge ears to hear any other signs of that sound, but there was nothing. "Maybe it was nothing," he thought but only time would tell if that sound was real or not as they journey further and further into the cave.
