There was a loud crash in front of us. "Did you hear that?" said Rainer.

"Yeah!" I said "Let’s go and see what’s up!" We climbed out of our sleeping bags and ran towards where the sound was coming from. We turned right. "Should we let out our pokemon? You know… In case of Team Sprocket… Or Rocket…" said Rainer. "Yeah." I replied, mad that I didn’t think of it before. "Charon! Go!" I said. Charon came out with a huge yawn and took its attacking pose. "Y’all have a for me battle Raven??" it asked in its high-pitched voice. Charon had an accent like a southerner, but somehow it suited it. "If somebody attacks us…" I replied back. "Fine y’all" siad Charon and started walking with Rainer’s pokemon, Quagmire. We walked on for about ten more minutes and found the source of the noise. Two people were training their graveler to use rollout and it kept smashing into a wall. "No Gravs! Try to roll straight!" said one voice. "Yeah! You look like a marble off course" said another less-serious voice, laughing at its own joke. Reminded me of Brad. "Why am I thinking about HIM for?? He betrayed me. He stole MY to-be wife. I’ll get my revenge…" I thought.

"Hey Dan! Somebody is here!" said the serious voice and two short boys came walking towards us, with their graveler on-guard. "If you guys are Team Diablo, Our graveler is powerful…"

"Relax!" said Rainer "We are not team ‘Diablo’ We are fellow trainers"

"Yeah" I said and marched forward. Now we could clearly see the boys. The looked identical: Brown hair, brown eyes, short but stocky and they had braces. "I am Dan, and this is Matt" said Dan pointing to the boy who was now chattering with Rainer. "I am Julius Raven but call me Raven and that is Rainer, talking with your twin"

"What pokemon do you have?" asked Dan

"Well since I am a water and ice type trainer, I have these" I let out my pokemon.

"Cool!" said Dan, but his attention was not with my pokemon anymore, but at my translator.

"I wanted one of those, but Mom wouldn’t buy me one because I have one attached to my pokedex. But that looks cooler…"

"Why are we out here?" asked Europa in her feminine voice. She did not have any accent but she had a beautiful voice.

"Dan wanted to see you guys" I replied to Europa

"Oh yeah! I forgot" said Dan and turned around to look at my pokemon. I introduced them to Dan.

After he took a look at them all, I recalled them. "What pokemon do you have?" I asked Dan.

"Well, My brother and I share pokemon. We have three each. These are the ones I caught" said Dan, throwing out 3 pokeballs revealing a growlithe, a pikachu and a magikarp.

"That’s Tiger, that’s sparkachu and that’s Dracon" he said pointing to growlithe, pikachu and magikarp.

"I am not really smart, so my brother has slightly better pokemon" said Dan.

"Hey Raven!"

I turned to my side to see Matt and Rainer walking towards me.

"Hello!" I replied.

"Rainer tells me that you are a water and ice type trainer…" said Matt "what pokemon do you have?"

I released my pokemon once more to show to Matt and called them back.

"I have these" said Matt releasing Graveler, poliwhirl and a pokemon that I had never seen before. It was small and round and brown with a moon shaped pattern on its forehead. "Ursa" it cried and started to put its paw in its mouth. I pointed my pokedex at it. *<><>< TEDDIURSA--- A BEAR POKEMON. DON’T BE FOOLED BY ITS CUTE LOOKS AS ITS FURY SWIPES AND ITS SWIFT ATTACKS ARE VERY POWERFUL. THIS TEDDIURSA IS JUST A BABY AND DOSEN’T KNOW HOW TO TALK YET><><*

"How would you like you battle?" I asked Matt and Dan "Three against three."

"SURE!" said the twins together "Rainer can be the referee."

"Let’s go to the clearing there" I said pointing to a grassy empty space.

"Dan, start out!" said Matt

"Fine. GO! SPARKACHU!" said Dan

"Yeah!" said the pikachu, electricity flying from its cheeks

" Charon! Go!" I said.

"Yes! A battle!" said Charon, even though he looked a little nervous "Um… Raven, I haven’t battled in AGES. L’il old me is a little nervous."

" ‘L’il old you’ will do just fine. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose." I said

Charon nodded and walked and stood in front of pikachu.

"Sparkachu! Tail-whip" said Dan. I was a little surprised. A level 28 pikachu with tail whip?

"Charon! Quick attack!" I said

Charon started running towards pikachu with top speed.

"Pikachu! Double team!" Dan ordered

It was too late. Charon rammed into pikachu. Sparkachu went flying thru the air and landed with a thud.

"Pikachu! Return!" shouted Dan

Pikachu returned to its pokeball. "It’s my turn!" said Matt " GOOOOOOOO, Ursa!!"

Sneasel looked petrified. "I ain’t fighti’n a li’l old baby! Y’all! Its SO cute." Charon walked to Ursa and started playing with it.

"Both pokes are out of the match! Raven winning 2-1." said Rainer.

"I choose… Poly!" said Matt. "POLIWHIRL!" shouted poly in its deep voice and stepped forward.

"Go! Artemis!" I said. Dratini came out of her pokeball.

"A Dratini??" said Matt. He looked as if he had seen a snorlax fly.

"Artemis! Paralyze it with Thunder wave!!"

"Here I go!" said Artemis. She did mot have any accent but her voice, like Europa, was feminine except that Artemis’ voice was rasher and had a hint of a little masculinity, like a violent woman. Waves of electricity escaped Artemis’ glowing body and hit Poly. "WHIRL" shouted Poliwhirl. It couldn’t move.

"That was a great battle" said Matt after about ten minutes. "I did not expect a dragon type because you said that you were a water type trainer."

"Dratini is ALMOST a water type. It lives IN the water AND can learn water and ice type moves" I replied."

"I guess that’s right… I should train better. My brother is not a single bit interested in training. He just goofs off."

I didn’t know what to say.

"Do you mind if we tag along with you to the City of Pearls?" asked Matt

"Sure" I said "We’ll start tomorrow"
