READ THIS I decided that my old story is a bit stupid, so I decided to try again until I get the hang of it, Dc having all those strong pokemon was ridiculous for a new trainer, and the fact I kept forgetting to put them to bed was stupid. After reading few other stories, I have come to the conclusion that I need to try again, so if anyone really wants me to finish, Just ask, But I am sure it was no good. Also I don't own pokemon or any of the characters, although I do own any I make up, Okay? The Quest Of a Trainer Chap 1 Melissa's first pokemon Wait, wait, wait, I got it, it's a Nidoran female. Oak walked up to melissa with a happy look on his face. Melissa was a ordinary girl, except most girls were out on their journey now. She wasn't because she sadly couldn't pass the test to get her license. Oak started speaking. Now Melissa, you may have passed your exam, but……… Oak looked strangely at the girl. She was shaking like mad. He went to ask her what the problem was when she jumped into the air with the biggest smile on her face anyone had ever seen. Oak looked at her and laughed. She had been so depressed ever since her first exam when she completely failed, Then her second when she almost passed, I guess 3rd time is lucky, He thought to himself. Well, Melissa, you will get to choose your 1st pokemon tomorrow. The available pokemon will be on oak network tonight, so make sure you check it out, ok. She nodded and shot out the door. She was so excited. She was to receive her first pokemon tomorrow. Being a 13 year old and all, Her Cousin gave her a pokemon to protect her when she is walking around without a trainer, as she needed protection and he felt it unfair that because she failed a test, she would not be able to leave the city. So she walked out of town a little. If she had only been a little earlier at passing the test she would have gotten the cubone she always wanted, But she couldn't be picky, She was getting a free pokemon from professor Oak. He was a nice guy, A worldly known scientist, that had discovered many things about pokemon. He was also a pokemon master back when he was young, But only for a few days as he was beaten by the famous Ash ketchum, who had taken off about 5 years ago to explore the world. Melissa walked through the forest, noting a few pidgey and ratatta playing around, and the occasional oddish. The pokemon in this area had gotten used to seeing her, and didn't run away like they used to when she walked through the forest. A couple even came up to her and got a tummy rub. Even the new trainer tormentor mankey, who attacked any new pokemon trainers who came through this area seemed comfortable around her, and when she walked through the forest he swung in the tree's surrounding them and even once sat on her shoulder. She found this to be strange as mankey were usually very violent. It was time to go home, she waved to the mankey and headed home. Hello trainers, welcome to oak network. There will be 8 new trainers tomorrow and they all have a choice out of ten pokemon. A growlithe, and a houndour for the fire types, squirtle and remoraid for the water types, a eevee and a teddiursa as the normal choices, phanpy and sandshrew as the ground types. And, estimated most popular choices are the bug types this year. Scyther and heracross. Melissa was thinking extremely hard about this. She wanted to get a pokemon which would grow to be strong, and would be fairly rare, and one that she liked. She had always like teddiursa, and that was going to become a ursaring which are extremely good fighters. Then there was heracross. The bug fighting pokemon. It was a strong pokemon, learning one of the strongest attacks there is, the megahorn, and tended to be very loving. Eevee was a very small pokemon, which meant it was often underestimated, and she could evolve it later on into any of 5 pokemon. This really was a strong reason to choose the eevee. Squirtle was always one of her favourite pokemon, but she thought that she would try and catch one as they were fairly common nowadays. Wake up, Her cousin Joel shouted in her ear. She shot up with a shock. She must have fallen asleep while she was thinking at some time. She then realized the time. 7.30 am. This meant the other trainers were now choosing their pokemon. She shot to her wardrobe, pulled out some jeans and a black shirt, put them all on and then also added a blue jacket over her black shirt. She was dressed. She sped down the road like a rapidash who sat on a pin and it only took her less then a minute to travel the 3 block distance. She made it in to see trainers everywhere. 5 to be exact. Oak looked at her. I hope your choice is still here melissa. Half the pokemon are already gone. She looked around at all the pokeballs. Both water typs had gone, and ground, also it seemed one of the bug types had gone. Scyther. She looked around and started towards the pokemon. Even though eevee was a good choice, she went against it and decided she wanted something different. The last 5 pokemon are houndour, teddiursa, heracross, and oh…… another pokemon has gone he said calmly. The last pokemon left is growlithe. She looked at the list. She walked around, seeing the 4 pokeballs. she looked at the pokemon. She started walking towards growlithe when oak did something unexpected. I have a feeling you would mix well with this pokemon, he said happily. He handed her the growlithes pokeball. I was going to choose that anyway, she said with a smirk. Here, he handed her a pokedex and six pokeballs, and a small package. He told her not to tell anyone about it and not to use it until growlithe feels he is ready. He looked at her and smiled. I know you will make it melissa, I have faith in you. Don't let the fact it took you a little longer then the usual set of trainers to pass the exam. With that, she smiled and walked out the door. She slowly walked home, pokeballs on her belt and pokedex in pocket. She then looked at her only inhabited pokeball. Inside was a growlithe, she new he would be a strong pokemon eventually, and had heard that they are very loyal. She released her new pokemon and looked it into the eyes. It let out a "growl….", and licked her face. She laughed. And replied, my name is melissa. I like your coat, so shiny. He appeared to be happy with the complement and started licking her face again. She laughed and started heading home. She then had an idea. On the way home, she walked into her favorite forest and looked around at her friends playing in the grass. Her friends, the local pokemon, stopped when they saw the growlithe, they new she wouldn't be back for a long time. They started looking depressed. More then the rest, mankey and oddish looked at her, almost tears in their eyes. Then mankey jumped into a tree and swung past melissa, grabbing 2 of her 6 pokeballs. It the threw one to the oddish and they both jumped in. the balls didn't even shake as she straight away heard a "ping". She had caught her first 2 pokemon, without even trying. She then released her 2 new pokemon and stared at them. They looked back with grins on their faces. All growlithe could do was stare. She was obviously a good person. What kind of pokemon wanted to be caught. All of a sudden, the mankey swung up to melissa's head and started laughing. Oddish and growlithe just cuddled against her legs and looked happy. The other pokemon looked on in awe. 2 of their friends had decided to leave them for someone else. Then they thought of who it was they were leaving with and grew happy again. With that, melissa waved goodbye to her friends and left. They watched her leave until she was out of sight, and they all shot into the forest and started playing again. Chap 2 Goodbye melissa Joel!, yelled melissa with tears of joy in her eyes. I'm ready to leave. Melissa, wait up. He ran downstairs with a fairly big box. Melissa, since it is your birthday in 2 weeks and you will be out on your journey, catching many a pokemon I'd say, I am giving you your birthday present 2 weeks early. Huh?, she said with a look of surprise on her face. She then lit up. Oh goody, presents. She ran up to Joel and hugged him. She opened the box to find a single strap backpack, the one she had wanted for a few weeks now, she had more or less begged for it. She thanked him, she was so happy to get this bag. It costed over 1000 pokedollars and that wasn't cheap for a backpack. He then looked at her, smiled, and said, "but wait, theres more, open the pack". She did so and found a card, 20 pokeballs, some healing potions and full heals, 5 superpotions, and a few trainer and pokemon meals as well. She then let out her 3 pokemon. Joel jumped back a few feet. Melissa simply smiled and told him of how her friends wanted to go with her. He then looked at oddish and growlithe and shot up the stairs. He then came down as fast as he had left with 2 stones in his hand. She looked at them and then spoke, Evolution stones? She said in a confused tone. Joel smiled then told her of how gloom and growlithe need a stone to evolve. She smiled, then stated she might not use them but she will take them. He just stood there and looked, then finally shrugged. What about the card, he finally answered. She opened the envelope, and out fell a little card. Upon closer observation, it was a money card. She then read the card that came with it. "this card has enough money on it for 1000 pokedollars a week for a year. But, if you don't need the money because you have been winning so much, I understand. All that is on this card is yours, and I expect you to spend it wisely. The card is voice activated, and most pokemarts have machines where you can withdraw money. This is for you my cousin, my friend, and my relative. You are like a daughter to me, and I hope you will think of me while you are gone. Love Joel. Awwwwwwwwwwww, Joel. You shouldn't have. She rushed up to him and gave him a huge hug. He simply smiled and told her to go get ready. She took her bag and suplies up stairs and packed some clothes. I'll miss you, shouted Melissa as she left the outskirts of town. He said something also, but she couldn't make it out so she waved and looked ahead, as she left pallet on her journey. Her bike would come in handy on her journey ahead, she thought as she peddled on with growlithe chasing her on foot and mankey swinging on the vines, both easily keeping up, but oddish had it the easiest, she simply stayed in the basket the whole time. Melissa considered this training for mankey and growlithe, so when she came across a ratatta, she sent out oddish to battle it. Absorb, she said as the ratatta neared oddish. Oddish did as commanded and started sucking away the ratattas energy. Then, with a burst of life, ratatta charged at oddish, dodge him, commanded melissa. The grass pokemon complied and just managed to dodge the rat pokemon who collided with a tree. A pokeball flew through the air and hit the little rodent on the head. It turned to red light and went inside the pokeball. The pokeball shook a few times, and with a ping, it went still. Melissa, growlithe and mankey cheered for the oddish, who bowed and went a little pink where there was blue. Melissa released her new pokemon, who she healed with a potion. It then looked at her, and cuddled up against her. Hey little guy, do you mind if you come with me and train so you become stronger. It looked at her as if it had no choice, and cuddled up against her again. She took this as a yes, and let her new pokemon stay out of his pokeball. Melissa hopped on her bike again and continued to ride, growlithe now with a running companion. Night fell and Melissa set up camp. She opened up a few tins of pokemon food, and straight away the rattata, growlithe and mankey dug in, and oddish soaked up some of the soils nutrients as it liked them a little better. Melissa also had some trainer food. She wasn't very hungry, so she didn't have much. Oddish, growlithe and rattata lay by the fire that growlithe had just made and fell asleep. Mankey curled into melissa's arms and fell asleep there. Melissa, was looking at all her relaxed pokemon, and eventually fell asleep also. Morning came and melissa eventually awoke. Mankey was not in her arms and her other 3 pokemon were……….. eating? They were eating big yellow things which she could not tell what they were. Then mankey came back to her from a tree with a bunch of banana's. He looked happy and so did the other pokemon. Even oddish had a few bites of the flamed banana's in which mankey had found and growlithe had cooked. Mankey then brought over some banana's to melissa. They were also fried, she tasted them and they were delicious. This was a really tasty breakfast and was really unexpected. After her enormous breakfast of flamed banana's and raw banana's and squashed banana's, they packed up camp and started on their journey again. All the three pokemon who were running yesterday were running again, and oddish sat in the basket again. All of a sudden, a boy jumped out of a bush and in front of melissa and her pokemon. She almost fell off her bike, and growlithe and ratatta crashed into the boy. She then noticed the boys had a weedle on one shoulder and a caterpie on the other.Before she could say anything, the boy challenged her to a battle. She nodded a yes and the battle began. Go caterpie, shouted the boy. Mankey, your turn, melissa simply said. Caterpie, tackle, the caterpis slowly approached mankey. Mankey, use fury attack. The mankey swung fist after fist at the caterpie, eventually knocking it out. Mankey cheered and was brought back. Then boy then sent out his weedle. Rattata go, she shouted. She then felt really stupid. Weedle, poison sting. Rattata, use um, tackle? The ratatta charged the weedle, just dodging its stinger and rammed it in the side. Finish with quick attack. Her pokemon sped up, and once again rammed the weedle, knocking it unconcious. The other trainer recalled his pokemonand sent out his last. Go venonat. Growlithe go, commanded melissa. Nenonat, supersonic, roar gorlithe. The venonta sent out soundwaves, and the growlithe roared. The venonat scared stiff, stopped its supersonic. Tackle, said melissa. Not needing to be told twice, the growlithe charged and eventually tackled the venonat. The match was over. Melissa had won her first trainer battle. She jumped in the air and celebrated. Her pokemon were happy also.hse thanked the trainer and took half his money and left. Soon, melissa and her pokemon arrived at viridian city and melissa returned her pokemon except growlithe who insisted on staying out. The two of them walked through the huge town, looking at its sky scrapers and taking notice of other people and their pokemon. eventually, after a few hours searching, she found the pokemon centre with a pokemart and pokemon gym next door. Melissa walked into the pokemon centre to be greeted by a lady with pink hair with purple streaks. Hi, I'm nurse Joy and I will heal your pokemon, will you be staying the night. Melissa nodded her head and asked why she needed to book in so early. There are a lot of trainers who book into this pokemon centre for the night she replied, and it is very seldom they all fit inside. Melissa thanked the nurse for her help and left form the pokemart. She entered the shop and made a budget. She would spend 2000 dollars maximum as she had won a thousand off the trainer she fought earlier. She searched the store for items, seeing lotsa different things, but nothing caught her eye. She went up to the counter asked the man if he had any tms. He He replied yes, but a special starts tomorrow so that people can buy 2 for the price of 1.She thanked him and left, making her way to the gym. She returned growlithe and entered. Inside, was like an ancient pokemopolis temple. Wow, she stated as she entered. Inside was a boy and a sandshrew, battling a trainer with a poliwag. Sandshrew use fury swipes, shouted the gym leader, and with that, the sandshrew slashed at the poliwag until it fainted. Poliwag is out of the match, match goes to the viridian city gym leader. He congratulated the challenging trainer, and then shouted, are there anymore challenges today. There were a few trainers in the gym, but none stood up to battle, so melissa stood up to the plate. She then let him no she was there. I challenge you for the gym badge for viridian city, she shouted. He looked at her, then agreed to a match. The leader then said this will be a 2 on 2 battle, no time limit. She agreed and he threw out his first pokeball. Go cubone, he commanded. Mankey, its your turn, she replied in style. The leader grinned and looked at the fighter monkey. O.k cubone, boneclub. Mankey, endure. The mankey got ready and stood in position as the cubone charged. He then held out his hands and caught the bone as it swung at him. It was a battle of strength now, as cubone struggled to get his bone back. Ok, mankey, use strength attack. With that, mankey gained a lot more muscle power, and lifted the bone in the air, with cubone attached to it. He then started turning around in circles, swinging cubone around. The gym leader gasped as cubone slammed into the ground at full speed, and was rendered unconcious by the referee. The leader growled and sent out his sandshrew. Sanshrew, its weakened, finish it with slash. No sooner then he said this, then had sandshrew knocked the poor mankey out of the match. Ummm…..go oddish. The oddish came out of the pokeball to see the sandshrew. Sleep powder, commanded melissa. Dig, said the leader calmly. Be ready oddish. As the ground started moving under neath oddish, melissa told her pokemon to attach itself to the sandshrews head and use absorb. The pokemon obeyed and started to suck out energy from the sandshrew. Umm…...shake it off, shouted the leader. Whatever you do, don't let go oddish. The oddish held on to the sandshrew until it could no longer hold on. It flew into the air and landed on its feet. Ok, he's badly weakened, use sleep powder. The oddish shook and out of its leaves came a powder, which surrounded the sandshrew, and before the gym leader could react, his pokemon was unable to battle. Sandshrew is unable to battle, stated the referee. The gymbadge and match goes to melissa. Oddish and melissa jumped into the air and she yelled a yippee. The gymleader then stated. "I, derrick match, admit defeat by awarding you with the earth badge.also, for winning, you get a tm, which is rockslide, and 2000 dollars. She thanked derrick and left. She entered the pokemon centre, then entered her room, which she was sharing with a girl, about her age, who was talking to a houndour. Hello, she said in a friendly tone as she entered the room. Oh, hi, the girl replied. My name is melissa, and yours is ………Shelly. Ok shelly nice to meet ya. The 2 got to talking. It seemed that shelly was a new trainer also, and she had won the earth badge this morning. They both had been given their pokemon by professor oak on the same day, just they musn't have seen each other. They got to talking, it urned out that they were both becoming a pokemon master, just for different reasons. Melissa for she wanted her life to mean something, and shelly because she wanted to own her own gym, and when you win the pokemon league, you can become a gymleader if you wish, you can also challenge one of the elite four for their position as a elite four member. There are other things you can do, but I can't remember them all, stated shelly is a bright and chirpy tone. She had 3 pokemon. Houndour, murkrow, and sneasel. All of the dark type. She wanted to open a dark gym. growlithe and houndour hit it off, they spoke like old friends. The other pokemon kept in their respective groups. The 2 trainers decided they needed some sleep, and went to bed. In the morning, melissa woke to shelly packing up, and all her pokemon were in their pokeballs(shellies pokemon). She was about to leave when melissa sat up and asked why she was leaving so early. There is a big special at the pokemart on tms today, and I wanna beat the other trainers. Oh yeah, I forgot, she replied sheepishly. I'll meet you there ok. Shelly left and melissa shot up , got dressed, returned her pokemon, and ran to the pokemart. There were few people there, and the mart was not open yet. She jumped in line so she could get a tm quickly. She planned on getting fireblast , hyperbeam and solarbeam, and her last would be tri beam. But with all the people here she expected to get none of those. The doors slowly opened and everyone jumped in the shop. Melissa didn't choose which way she went, she just went with the tide. She was in the grass section. She saw one of the tms she wanted. Solar beam. She grabbed the last one and moved on. Next thing she found herself in the psychic section. She grabbed a agility tm, as she thought it might be handy. Then she seen shelly, she was in the dark pokemon section. She had also seen melissa and shouted out if she wanted to get crunch. Melissa, not knowing what it was, just said yes. Shelly yelled and told melissa to grab her a dreameater tm, so she grabbed one for her new friend. She then grabbed a recover one for herself and was pushed into the dragon pokemon. She grabbed two dragon rage tms and wandered to the normal pokemon section. There were no hyper beams left, but she grabbed a mirror move just as she was pushed into her last section. She grabbed a mega punch and seismic toss and went to the counter to meet with shelly. She had grabbed melissa a crunch tm and a teleport tm. Melissa swapped them for Dream eater and dragon rage. Thanking her, shelly brought her tms, and so did melissa. The 2 were proud of their assortment of tms, except melissa had spent 3500 pokedollars which she felt was a bit much. Although she had 8 tms, including megapunch, seismic toss, recover, dragon rage, agility, crunch, solarbeam, and skull bash. Besides the tms melissa had given her, shelly managed to get fire blast, crunch, icebeam, and mega kick. The two trainers, and the two dog pokemon all walked side by side until they reached the city limits. So, where are you going to, melissa asked shelly. Im going to pewter city and then to mount moon gym to get a badge. Well, um, you wanna travel together, melissa asked, with a nervous tone to her voice. Thanks for the offer melissa, but I am planning on doing this alone, I'm sorry. No problem, she said. I'll see you at the pokemon league. They both said there goodbyes as melissa set out into viridian forest, and shelly returned back to the pokemon centre. Chap 3 Melissa meets David of team Rocket. Melissa and her pokemon were sitting by the fire. She was thinking of evolving growlithe. He learned his speed attacks as growlithe, and the only one left is agility, in which she has the tm. She asked growlithe. It seemed he would love to be a arkanine, so she gave him the stone. He put his nose on it and started to glow. When the glowing stopped, Arkanine appeared in all its glory. Melissa then gave the agility tm to the giant dog pokemon and also gave him the crunch tm. She then called oddish and taught it solar beam. Mankey learnt mega punch and seismic toss. He also taught his rattata skull bash as it wanted a new move also, and she saved recover and dragonrage. Soon her and her pokemon were all ready for sleep. Rattata and arkanine had a practise match, which caused the rattata to evolve as it had a big disadvantage verse the huge fire pokemon, and it sadly still lost. But in melissa"s eyes it had won as it had evolved, and that was enough for him. A match between mankey and oddish ended in a double knockout, as oddish was hit with a megapunch as it let out a solar beam at its foe. After healing all her pokemon, melissa congratulated them all on their strength, fed them, and went to sleep. She awoke to see oddish staring at a drowzee, and obviously charging up a solarbeam. It shot the poor psychic pokemon down and it was knocked out. The oddish stood proudly looking over the defeated pokemon and then seen a pokeball fly through the air. Oddish turned around to see its trainer smiling. Thank you oddish, you really are getting good at solarbeam aren't you. Oddish let out a proud "odd…..oddish". Melissa laughed and let out her new pokemon. She gave it a potion and spoke to it. Hey drowzee. How would you like to come with me. I'll treat you right and make you strong, like oddish here, and if you want I'll teach you a move where you can heal yourself. The drowzee looked at oddish and blew its trunk. With a sigh it walked up to melissa and held its hand out. She also held her hand out and shook his hand. It sent her a picture of a pond, with pokemon all around it, all water types, and there was also what looked like a bunch of squirtles and a blastoise. It then showed her poliwraths, poliwhirls, and poliwags. She then looked at drowzee when the picture had finished. By now all her pokemon were awake and were looking at the new drowzee. Melissa started packing up her tent and suplies. She also put her oddish in its pokeball and followed the drowzee to this pond, pokemon following her. When she arrived, she released her oddish and told it to quietly use sleep powder on all the pokemon. Within a minute, all the pokemon in the water and around the water were asleep. Melissa, not wanting to be greedy, threw a pokeball at one of the squirtle, the strongest looking one. She then started to leave when she saw another pokemon. One that wasn't a water type. It was a phanpy. She quickly threw another pokeball at it and caught it. As she got the ball back, it dissapeared. she wondered what had happened and left the pond. When melissa felt she was far enough from the pond, she brought out her new pokemon, squirtle. This one looked particularly strong. Its muscles bulged more then a regular squirtle and it's shell was shinier. Melissa puled out her pokedex and pointed it at the squirtle. The pokedex then stated, "squirtle, the turtle pokemon, this squirtle seems to be stronger then most of its type, and would be able to learn fighting moves. Its moves are water gun, bubble, bubble beam, skullbash, withdraw, tackle, and double kick. Double kick is a fighting move, and squirtle don't usually learn it. This squirtle will evolve soon, as it is a very strong squirtle. The pokedex went quiet. Soon the squirtle made friends with melissa, after she gave it a rare candy. Just as night was almost upon melissa, she found her destination, pewter city. She walked up to the gym, and then next door to the pokemon centre. Inside was a nurse joy, who healed melissa's pokemon and showed her to her room. She released all her pokemon and sat them down to meet each other. Morning came and melissa realized for the first time in her life she hadn't dreamt anything after her first 5 minutes of sleep. She then remembered something her father used to say when he was around, Don't let drowzee eat your dreams. She turned around and looked at drowzee and all he did was a drowzee grin. She pulled out her pokedex and scanned drowzee. The pokedex then told her that drowzee had just learned dreameater, and will hurt sleeping pokemon with it. She sighed and looked at drowzee, who then jumped into his pokeball. Melissa then told her pokemon to enter their pokeballs and wait until she calls them back out. Arkanine did not like this, but he obeyed. She walked to the pewter gym just as a boy ran out holding his bulbasaur in his arms, rushing to the pokemon centre. She walked into see a boy, about 15 years of age laughing. She went up and asked him, Are you the gym leader. I am the gymleader, My name is advid of the rock gym, and loyal servant of team rocket. My team has granted me this gym and rock pokemon, and I have been defeating all who opose me. Team rocket, you say. I will challenge you for the boulder badge david. What am I playing for. If you win you get the badge, 4000 dollars and a choice out of 3 tms. Double team, double edge or take down. She looked at the boy and asked the rules. 3 pokemon, no time limit, when one pokemon faints , you have to change a pokemon also.And pokemon must be fainted or recalled, a sleeping pokemon or paralyzed pokemon cannot be disqualified. She agreed to the rules as he sent out a graveller. Go drowzee. The drowzee looked at its opponent and gasped. Graveller, use rock throw. Drowzee, disable. The graveller was about to throw a heap of rocks, but was frozen and could not move. Use hypnosis now. Drowzee's eyes went a red colour, and graveller fell asleep, now finish this, dreameater. The drowzee ate the enemies dreams and the graveller fainted. Return, growled the boy. So you use your best first eh. Go rhyhorn. The rhyhorn snorted and growled. Ok oddish, your turn. The rocket burst into tears with laughter. You think you can beat my rhyhorn with that…..that……weed? The oddish went mad and obeyed melissa as she said charge. The rhyhorn did the same, just a different kinda charge. Oddishes weeds started glowing golden and melissa neew it was time. Rhyhorn had almost arrived when melissa shouted, "solarbeam". The little oddish shot out a beam of light, tottaly distroying the poor rhyhorn, who fainted on impact. You may have won those battles, but you will never beat my onix. The huge rock snake apeared in front of melissa. She knew what to do. Go squirtle. Her muscley turtle pokemon came out of it's pokeball, ready to fight. Onix, tackle. The onix dove at squirtle, who simply jumped out of the way. Bubblebeam it squirtle. The squirtle shot hundreds of bubbles at the giant rock snake. Use your water gun. The squirtle shot out a cannon of water, which hit the onix right in the head, completely knocking it out. David realized he had lost, but would not give her the badge. She pulled out a pokeball and told her arkanine to get that badge and money at any means possible. The boy shivered at the sight of the huge hound, and threw the badge and money on the ground and took off. He was out of view but not before stating that he will have revenge on her and her pokemon. Just then, squirtle started to glow. It got a little bigger, grew a white curly tail and big white ears. When it had finished it said, "wartortle". Squirtle had evolved into a exceptionally strong looking wartortle, with bulging muscles. She congratulated her new wartortle and thought how she had a raticate and a wartortle which had evolved by themselves only after 3 badges. She happily returned her pokemon and walked over to the pokemon centre. When she entered, she got nurse joy to heal her pokemon, and made a phonecall. Joel picked up and greeted her. He appeared to be having a party. She told him of everything that had happened lately, and he congratulated her, before being pulled into a conga line, and being disconnected. She sighed, she would love to be at one of joels parties right now, but she had better things to do. She called oak, who was with phanpy. He told her of how phanpy was a ground pokemon, and how it had developed a resistance to water attacks. Surprised, melissa got oak to swap her phanpy for her raticate, and she hung up. She went to the nurse joy and got her pokemon back and started making her way to the mount moon gym.
