James was walking passed the Grand Hall to get to the Obsidia Ward. He remembered there being blockages going into different wards and 1 of them had to be Obsidia considering he saw Victoria heading that way. But as he was about to make it to the stairs, he heard someone shout out to him. He looked around. In a couple of seconds, he could see Ame running down the steps towards him. Ame: Whew. I got you before you left for the Obsidia Ward. James: Is everything ok? Ame: With me? Yes. Obsidia Ward though? No. I’ve been getting reports from Florinia with what’s been going on there and luckily today, I’m not as busy. So I’ve been granted a day to go to Obsidia and see what’s going on there and see if I can stop it. James: You are? That’s what I was about to do. Ame: I figured. James: Why don’t we go together? Ame: Sounds like a fantastic idea. James: Alright! Let’s get going then. The 2 then climbed the stairs and started to head for the entrance to Obsidia Ward. When they got closer, they could see 2 policemen and Florinia. Ame: Florinia? You’re still here? Florinia: James. Ame. Greetings. My immediate departure is necessitated however. Obsidia remains in a volatile condition. My attendance is mandatory. Farewell. Ame: Hold on Florinia. I am to go see if I can stop all this plant life frenzy from continuing and James is coming along. Florinia: …These terms are acceptable. Given the previous assistance granted at the factory, you will also be helpful. James: Thanks I think. Ame: Alright Florinia. Give us a brief on this situation. Florinia: Certainly. An unknown force has recently begun continual engagement in the overstimulation of the malignant flora life. Cause remains unknown. However, previous incidences of this behavior have resulted in large scale destruction. James: Wait. You mean this is happening around other wards? Ame: If I remember correctly, it also happened in the Jasper and Beryl wards but… well it’s not so bad here. If we stop it in time, this ward won’t be completely destroyed. Florinia: Correct. Isolate and eliminate the source of the extraneous growth immediately. Ame: Any idea where it could be happening from? Florinia: The target area has been narrowed to the Obsidia Park. Ame: Makes sense. It’s the area with the most plants that’s still able to grow despite how the environment is. Florinia: Operation assets will assemble there. Do attend shortly. Farewell. -leaves the area- James: So how far is the park? Ame: Shouldn’t be too long actually. We should be there within a couple of minutes. James: You think maybe we can take a quick look around? Considering I haven’t been here that is. Ame: I suppose. But we shouldn’t take too long. James: You’re right. Alright. Let’s get going. The 2 ventured into the Obsidia Ward. There seemed to be a lot of businesses here trying to sell their stuff. There was a salon, a PokeBall store, a candy store. There was even a company here from Silph Co. This was quite surprising to James. But the thing that surprised the both of them were 2 things. As James explored the area, he could see cracks in the road. Some were small but others were huge. You could look down the hole and see nothing but complete darkness. It was quite unnerving. Ame decided it was time to go to Obsidia Park. But as she was leading James there, the 2 of them stopped. In front of them was a huge hole in the ground. It was too far to even try to jump over. They were stuck. Ame: Damnit! James: What do we do now? Ame: Let me think. Umm… Maybe we can get to the other side through the Obsidia Slums. James: Obsidia Slums? Ame: Yea. It’s not far from here. We just have to go down. I’ll tell you more about it when we get there. James: Alright hun. The 2 started walking down towards the Obsidia Slums. It didn’t take long though for a familiar face to appear before them though. Victoria: James! Ame! Ame: Ohh! Victoria! You’re here as well huh? James: What happened? Victoria: I… I’m not sure what to do. I’m sure you’ve noticed that the main road is blocked off thanks to the plants destroying the city. Ame: Yea. It wasn’t a pretty site. Victoria: Well I was gonna go through the slums to get to the other side. But it’s too dangerous! James: Why? Victoria: These men. They kept trying to attack me and it was like the debris in there was moving or something! Ame: Moving… debris? Victoria: Yes! Wait. Are you both planning on going through the slums? Ame: Well of course. James: We have to stop these crazy plants! Victoria: Well… Ame, you’re more than capable of going but you should stay James. James: What? I’m capable of going through though! Victoria: I’m just… I’m just worried. Ame: … You 2 should have a battle. If James wins, he stays. If he loses, he stays. James: Huh? Ame: I never really got to see you truly battle. Plus, you can test your strength against someone who might be on the same level as you. Victoria: Yea… Yea! That sounds like a great idea! James: Well… fine. If this was anyone else though, I would have declined. Our rematch Victoria! The 2 trainers threw out their PokeBalls and the battle started. The battle wasn’t difficult but it also wasn’t hard. Even with James limiting himself to only using 3 Pokemon so it’d be an even battle. Despite that, he was able to win the battle without losing a single Pokemon. Ame and Victoria both seemed very impressed with James’ Pokemon strength. Ame: Wow! Not bad hun. James: Thanks. Victoria: Well I guess you’re more prepared than I am. Just promise me you’ll be careful alright? James: Wait Victoria! Victoria: Hmm? James: Look, we don’t know what we’re fighting out there. And the more people we have with us fighting against… whatever this thing is, the better our chances of us beating it. Why don’t you come with us? Victoria: Come with you? But wouldn’t I just slow you both down? Ame: Nonsense! You’re a great trainer. Think of it as some more training too. You wanna be stronger right? Victoria: Well… yes I do. Ame: Good. Then you’re coming with us. Victoria: Well… alright. If you 2 don’t mind. Ame: Alright. Let’s get going. We’re almost there. The 3 set off to find the slums. With more people added to the group now, their chances of beating this plant attack were more successful. Soon, they ended up in front of the entrance of the slums. James: So… this is the Obsidia Slums huh? Victoria: Yea. It’s weird in there. Ame: This place is basically for the homeless to come and live or for people that are doing drugs to hideout here or just to even drink. James: Wow. That sounds… Victoria: Scary? James: No. It sounds sad. I feel sorry for them. Ame: I do too. If I could just get enough fundings, I could make nice cozy little homes for them to live in but I don’t… James: Hey hey. It’s ok Ame. You’ll be able to do it some day. But for right now, let’s focus on getting to the other side. Ame: Yea… You’re right. Thanks hun. James: You take the lead and me and Victoria will follow behind you. Ame: Alright. Just a warning though. They will probably want to battle you. James: That’s alright. Victoria: Yea. I’ll feel more confident with people beside me now. Let’s get through it! The 3 friends walked into the Obsidia Slums. The journey to get to the Obsidia Park was only just beginning and it started with getting through this dreadful, disgusting place.

Are you saying she's immortal? Well then the solution is simple. Have her fuse with a mortal, slice them in half with a sword that has gotten bigger with everyone lending their energy to it and then slice the thing in half. But then you'd run the risk of of them taking over the world because they somehow survived and they now look like clouds in the sky. (If anyone knows where I got that from... GOOD JOB!) How many questions are in the book so far? I always thought she was 10 but maybe she's 15 and then when she time travels and comes back, she's 18? Not sure.

So I was right in thinking that you made those sprites. Lol. Those are incredibly nice.

Or does Vanilla not want the audience to know that... SHE LIKED IT! Da-Da-DaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAa!!!!!!!

Vanilla cannot even escape the kisses of the Terrible Terra! Haha. TOO! LONG! This was so good though! I've missed this. Haha.

The next day, James and Ame woke up from their peaceful slumber. They both felt great and refreshed. They cuddled for a couple of minutes before getting ready for the day. Ame: So today’s the day huh James? James: Yea. My very 1st Gym Battle ever. Ame: You nervous? James: Somewhat. I’m more excited though. Ame: Well just remember what I told you. Every Gym Leader has a full team of 6. James: Good thing I also have a full team as well. They put on new clothes, packed up their stuff and were fully ready for their day. The 2 went upstairs. When they reached there, Ame stopped James quickly. James: What are you doing? Ame: You see that person over there? James: Yea? Ame: That’s a trainer. While you were gone, I called a couple of people. Anytime you need training, just come here and someone should be standing near the counter there for you to battle and train your Pokemon. James: Aww. Thanks Ame. You didn’t have to do that though. Ame: It’s ok. They actually wanted to do it. They get bored sitting at their homes doing nothing. James: Well that’s great. I’m gonna go train for a bit then. Ame: Alright James. Good luck. Ame went to 1 of her workers and started to talk to them about something. James went up to the trainer and he agreed to train his Pokemon up. It wasn’t difficult training up his Pokemon and their power didn’t increase dramatically but it was enough that James felt comfortable taking on Julia. He thanked the trainer and went to go exit the Grand Hall but heard Ame’s voice telling him to stop. He turned around to her. James: What is it Ame? Ame: I know I already said this but I just wanted to say good luck with your Gym Battle against Julia. James: Ohh. Well thanks hun. That means a lot. Ame: Also, before you just go through her Gym, I need you to do something. James: What’s that? Ame: There will be a computer terminal when you get into her gym. I want you to go to it and press the call button. James: Huh? Why? Ame: It’s a surprise. Now get to it. Big day for you. James: -chuckles- Well alrighty then. See you later. The 2 leaned in and kissed each other. James then left Grand Hall and walked to Julia’s Gym. He kept thinking about what Pokemon she would have other than her Electrode. This was gonna be 1 of his toughest challenges he had ever faced in his life. When he got to the big yellow building, he went inside. Remembered what Ame wanted him to do, he searched for the computer terminal. Once he located it, he went over and pressed the call button. It rang for a few seconds and then Ame’s face popped up on the screen. James: Ame? Ame: Hey James! James: What’s this? Ame: Well this computer terminal is for trainers that need advice on Gym Leaders their about to face. James: Ohh. That sounds helpful. Ame: So for Julia, her Electric Field will make all of her same-type attacks even stronger and add a jolt to some other attacks like her explosions! It’s standard fare but if you have something that can tank Electric attacks, you’re almost home free. James: Sounds complicated. Ame: Maybe. Hey. You have that app where the Field Effects can be read right? Did you take a look at it yet? James: Actually, no. I haven’t. Ame: Maybe you should before you go facing her. Anyways, good luck James! James: Thanks Ame. The screen shut off. James took out his Pokegear and looked at the Field Effects app. He found the 1 that said Electric Terrain and clicked onto it. There were a lot of notes on this Field Effect. James: Well, I guess I’m gonna have to use brute strength in this battle. James started to battle the trainers inside the Gym. At the end of 1 corridor, there was a Voltorb. It turned around to James. He didn’t know what to do so he went back to the entrance. The Voltorb was following him which confused him. He decided to have it just follow him since it didn’t seem dangerous. But he couldn’t go further beyond a steel grate. While thinking of what to do, the Voltorb went up towards the steel grate and started to glow. James: Voltorb? What are you… Ohh no! James jumped back away from Voltorb. It exploded, creating a hole in the steel grate. James couldn’t believe it. Julia’s Gym puzzle was to use these Voltorbs to blow holes in these steel grates? Well, it suited her. He got up and started to get through the Gym. It didn’t take much but he finally got to the end. He entered the next room and wasn’t much surprised to see a banner on the ceiling that said “KABOOM!” He could see Julia who seemed more hyper than usual. Julia: James! Hi! James: Hi Julia. Uhh… Are you ok? Julia: I’m great! I just had a lot of coffee! James: Ohh. That makes sense. Julia: But allow me to welcome you to the Super-Duper Ultra-Hyper Electro-Dazzle Happy Boom-Time House of Cheer! James: The Super-Duper what? Julia: Ohh yea. Please ignore all the superlame machinery junk. But I think I need more banners! And streamers! And… hmm… Fireworks! James: Wouldn’t that be more dangerous? Julia: Probably! James: Wouldn’t that also be a safety hazard too? Julia: Absolutely but who cares?! James: I do! Julia: Ohh yea… Hey! Don’t think I’ll go easy on you just because you helped us out earlier! I have pride to upheld! James: I didn’t expect you to. I want you to go all out! Julia: James I have to tell you something. James: And that would be? Julia: I am in fact… a former captain cheerleader! The Onyx Trainers’ School’s honor depends on me! OTS, we represent! We pack a punch and don’t relent! James: Where did that… You know what? I should expect this. Julia: Alright, alright, alright! I’m wired! So let’s fight! The 2 grasped their PokeBalls and threw them out. The battle started. James was actually having a decently easy time against Julia. He wasn’t expecting this. Maybe he trained up a bit too much. But when her Electrode came out, that’s when James started to have a little trouble. But luckily, he was able to knock it out and be victorious in his 1st ever Gym Battle. The both of them returned their Pokemon back to their PokeBalls. James: That was a great match Julia. Julia: Mrrrrr… James: Uhh… Julia? Julia: Whateverrrrrrr. I’m gonna go take a power nap. James: Wait! What about my badge?! Julia: Hmm? Ohh yea. I almost forgot. Fiiiiiine. Take your whatchamacolit Badge. -hands James the Volt Badge- James: Wow… This is amazing! Thanks. Julia: Yep… I need coffee… James: Uhh… Are you ok? Julia: I’m just tired. James: Ohh. I’m sorry. Julia: Yea… Well I’m going sleepies now! Good night!~ James was amazed when he witnessed Julia literally lay onto the ground and fall asleep right away. He looked her over just to make sure she was ok. When he was sure she was just fine and actually sleeping, he made his way out of the Gym holding his shiny new badge. When he got outside, he could see Victoria. He hadn’t seen her since the previous day. James: Hey Victoria! Victoria: Huh? -turns around- Ohh! Hey James! Wait. Did you just win your 1st badge? James: I sure did! Victoria: That’s great! James: Thanks. So are you here to challenge Julia too? You might have a hard time trying to wake her up. Victoria: Huh? What do you mean? James: She went to sleep almost as soon as she gave me my badge. Victoria: Ohh… Well I was going to but I heard something awful! Apparently something weird is happening in the Obsidia Ward. James: The Obsidia Ward… Florinia said something about that last night. Victoria: She tell you anything about it? James: Just that there was a situation going on there. Victoria: Well the plants are coming to life and attacking people. James: Huh?! How?! Victoria: I’m not sure. But it doesn’t sound good. As soon as I heard though, I knew I had to go over there and see if I can help! James: I think I’ll join you for that. I just gotta heal up my Pokemon 1st. Victoria: Alright. I’m gonna go then. See you there. Victoria left and headed to the Obsidia Ward. James went to the Pokemon Center to heal his Pokemon. When they were fully healed, he too then ventured to the Obsidia Ward to see if he could help with this plant life stuff. Pokemon Team Character Ratings

… What in the hell are thinking noises? Was that your actual voice in the video? Yea. Kind of weird you'd think that anyways. I mean Tesla did technically adopt you. Because you're not a girl? Unless you are then... I'll just shut up now. Wow. Using a lot of videos in this chapter huh? Have you seen the new seasons of that Thomas The Tank Engine btw? It's gotten very weird. Thomas goes to different parts of the world. A lot of the movies are musicals now. They even had an almost train kissing episode! (Valentines Day Episode) Like what the fuck are the creators of this show thinking now?! It's so damn weird and... Umm... o.o I only ready wikis on that. I haven't seen any of that. Nope. Totally didn't. I'm not nervous. If it's not important and they don't leave a voice message, then I don't pick up! Easy as that!

James and Julia made it to Mosswater Factory. The 2 stood in front of the building examining it. Julia went over to the door which was covered by a steel grate. No 1 would be able to physically remove it. James: Any ideas? Julia: Hmm… Ok! Stand back! James listened to Julia in case whatever she had planned would severely injure him. Julia took out a stick of dynamite, lit it up and placed it by the steel grate. James could see she wasn’t moving away from the dynamite. He was about to try to get her out of the way but it was too late. It exploded with her right in front of it. Dust clouds were all around the area. After a few seconds, the dust clouds started to disperse. Surprisingly, James could see Julia still standing there. No injuries or even any could of black stuff on her. James: How… did you survive that?! Julia: Survive what? ???: Well so much for a secretive ambush. James and Julia turned around and were greeted with Fern and what James assumed to be his sister. It was weird how eerily similar the 2 looked. Julia seemed happy that they were there. Well at least 1 of them. ???: Explosion detected. Julia’s presence confirmed. Julia: Yay! Make things go boom and acquire friends!~ James, that green haired girl is Florinia. FYI, back in school, she was my roommate and BFF.~ James: BFF? James looked at Florinia. She had barely spoke much but what he had heard, she seemed to speak intelligently and smartly. These 2 were best friends? Julia: Aaannnd that’s Fern. Hi Fern. Ok, moving on! Fern: Ha! I get no respect. But it’s cool. Me and James here already met. James: Yea and it wasn’t a great 1. Florinia: Time wastes. Let us proceed. Fern: Look here James. I know we got off on the wrong foot but it’s cool right? James: Honestly Fern- Fern: By the way, don’t mind my sister. She’s weird. A lot of people that talk to her call her “Flobot” because of how she talks. Julia: Well I call her Rini because she’s not a robot. Now come on! Focusies! We have bad guys to boom! James: I can’t believe I’m saying this but I agree with Julia. We should get inside. That blast most likely alerted them that we’re here. Julia: Then let’s get in there and boom their faces off before they keep booming everything else! Normally, I’d like that but not like this. Sooo chaaarge! The 4 of them ventured into the building. As soon as they entered, they could smell something awful in there. They continued to walk up til they came across a steel blockage. All 4 of them looked over the edge and could see that the water in there was heavily toxic. Way more polluted than the water outside. Julia: Yuck! This smells terribadtastic! James: Tell me about it. That water must be polluted beyond repair. Florinia: The wine hue indicates high levels of pollutants. Estimated toxicity: 90+%. James: I have no idea what that means but this must be what’s being dumped into the lake. Julia: No wonder it’s so poisonous! Fern: Yea yea yea. Enough with the hippie environmental bull! Let’s just get going. Julia: We have to stop this factory from ruining the lake! Team Meteor clearly doesn’t care about the well-being of the city! James: You know, I’m surprised they haven’t come rushing to the entrance. They either didn’t hear it or they saw this coming. Florinia: James is correct. The path diverges. The most efficient course of motion for facilitation of thorough investigation and reclamation of this property is a similar bisection of the party. Fern: How about you speak in fucking English? Julia: Hey! Be nicer to your sister! Anyways, she said we should split up. Duh. Fern: Pfft. Whatever. Julia: And Rini will come with me! We’ll take this wing! Which means James, you have to go with Fern! Try not to let his attitude get to you!~ Before either James or Fern could utter a word, Julia ran to the area she said her and Florinia would go to. James felt annoyed. James: Florinia, how would you feel- Florinia: Proceed with caution. Fern: Ha! Burn. Don’t worry sis. I always do. Florinia: You were not the intended recipient of my previous statement. Permission for you to be life-endangeringly reckless: Granted. Florinia proceeded to go to Julia in the next area. James could see the frustration on Fern’s face with what she said to him. He couldn’t help but utter a smile. Fern saw it but ignored it. Fern: Well as you can see, she didn’t get enough hugs growing up. Not my problem. James: Definitely not from you at least. Fern: Whatever dude. Look, let’s just get going. And don’t you slow me down. James: I should be saying that to you. -starts walking to the other side with Fern- Fern: Wait. What do you mean? When we battled before, your Pokemon weren’t hitting hard at all. James: Well I did some power training for a couple of hours before coming here. Fern: Let me guess. You’re oh-so important girlfriend hooked your Pokemon up with some drugs or something? James stopped in the middle of walking. Fern bumped into him. James turned around to him. He was furious that Fern mentioned Ame in such a way. She would never do something like that to any Pokemon ever. James: Look, I’m not enjoying with this team up anymore than you are. So let’s just get through this ok? Fern: Psh. Whatever. James: How do you even know about me and Ame anyways? Fern: I got people. By the way, Team Meteor members up ahead. James turned around and could see 2 Team Meteor Grunts walking up towards them. With no words exchanged between any of them, everyone took out a PokeBall and threw it. The double battle began. Fern thought he’d have to do all the work for both James and himself but he was shocked to see that James’ Pokemon were hitting way harder than last time. He could definitely tell because James was using his Chimecho. In their battle, it couldn’t quite 1-hit KO his Budew but now it could knock out the foe’s Lillipup. The battle was soon over with James and Fern being the victors. The 2 Team Meteor members seemed quite surprised. Meteor Grunt #1: What?! How could we lose?! Meteor Grunt #2: Those other 2 gave us info about this purple haired man and his Pokemon! How did he- James: I trained up my Pokemon for 3 hours! They’re tougher than you’re expecting now! Meteor Grunt #1: Damnit! Come on! We have to go warn the others! The 2 Meteor Grunts ran off further into the factory. James and Fern looked at each other annoyingly. With no words exchanged, they continued exploring the factory, battling any Team Meteor Grunts they came across. The fights were actually pretty easy. James was glad he trained up his Pokemon. If he hadn’t, he didn’t think they would stand much of a chance against these guys. Soon, the 2 came to a room where Florinia and Julia were in. Julia saw them come in and started cheering for them. Julia: Yay! James is here! Aaannnd so is Fern. James: How’d you 2 do? Julia: It was fun! So many baddies to fight! I kind of wish I could make them go boom though. Florinia: Meteor Headquarters confirmed beyond gate. James: Well how do we get past that steel grate? Julia: I know! I can boom it open!… Except I used the last of boomies to get in here. Fern: Well they were planning on blowing up more things right? James: Ohh yea. If that’s the case, then- Julia: Where are the boomies at?! Florinia: Hold on… This facility’s digital security system appears substandard. A brute force attack should be sufficient. Please hold. Julia: We can’t just sit around waiting for you to hack that thing! James: She’s right… again. We should search for some dynamite or anything explosive. Julia: Yea! You and Fern go look for the boomies while I stay here! They weren’t the way either of us came. So they must be around here somewhere! Florinia: Why is combustion your solution to any obstacle? Julia: Ummm… Fun for the whole family? Florinia:… Indeed. Fern: Alright. Enough with the talking. You heard the crazy boomy lady James. Let’s find some explosives. Julia: Yea! For once, I agree with Fern! To the boom-mobile! Fern and James went to the room below them. They had to fight some more Team Meteor Grunts but like the other ones, they weren’t hard to fight off. At last, they got to the explosives. James picked them up and brought them back to Julia. She was all excited when she saw James holding the box of bombs. Julia: Yay! Boomies! You got them! Leeeeet’s do this! Julia went up to the door and placed the bombs in front of it. She lit a match and was just about to light them up for them to blow when the steel grates went up into the ceiling. Julia and James looked at it in confusion. Fern didn’t seem to care. Then Florinia spoke up. Florinia: Access granted. Let us proceed. -goes to the next room- Julia: But I… The booms! What about the booms!? We were about to… Rini! -goes to the next room- James:… I kind of wanted to see that explode. Fern: Leave it to my sister to ruin everyone’s fun. Well let’s get going. Fern and James went ahead to the now opened room. When they got in there, they could see 2 more Team Meteor Members and what seemed to be their boss. But the man looked weird. He was wearing weird clothing and seemed to have a mechanical eye patch. The 2 joined up with everyone else. Julia: You! Are you the 1 in charge here? ???: And if I am? Julia: We’re gonna boom your faces off for what you did to the Grandview Station! James: Julia, calm down. Who are you?! ???: Hmm… Amusing. Tell me, what power do you think you have to do so? Julia: Hey! Answer James’ question! Who are you?! ???: My name? That’s not important right now. But it’s obvious you know who we are. We are Team Meteor. And we do not relent. Don’t think you got through this place on your own ability. James: Wait… What do you mean? ???: We had no intention of defeating you. Fern: Then this ambush was for nothing. ???: Our purpose here is forfeit already. Julia: Then why did you let us in here?! ???: It was necessary. You all needed to attend a demonstration. Julia: Let us in? ???: Did you really think you hacked our security so easily? Foolish. I ordered our operators to slow you down long enough to delete all mission critical data from our systems. But it seems we overestimated your strength. Time was ample. We grew tired waiting. James: Are you calling us we- ???: Enough talk! Aster and Eclipse! Aster & Eclipse: Yes? ???: Deal with the small fries. I can handle these 2. Fern & James: Small fries?! Eclipse: If you say so. Aster: For Team Meteor! James: These 2 seem more stronger than the other members of Team Meteor Fern. Make sure you don’t mess this up. Fern: Me? You’re most likely to be the 1 of messing up here! The battle started. The pair of grunts led off with a pair of Rockruffs. James and Fern sent out their Pokemon. Ferns Pokemon took most of the damage as James’ Pokemon dealt the finishing blows to their Pokemon. The 2 were shocked at how somewhat easily they were defeated. They returned their Pokemon back to their PokeBalls. James looked over to the battle between the Gym Leaders and this possible Boss of Team Meteor. While this was an intense moment, he made sure to take note of Julia’s Pokemon which was an Electrode. He would have to battle her in a Gym Battle soon. The boss could see that Aster and Eclipse had been defeated. He seemed annoyed at this. ???: You 2 have lost already? How disappointing. James: I think it would be best if you gave up this fight. ???: Hmph. I can take 2 on myself easily, but 4… Fine. You’re right. But this was an amusing diversion. Do no think you have won though. Team Meteor does not forgive. He and the 2 members of Team Meteor exited the room and left the factory. Julia and Florinia returned their Pokemon back to their PokeBalls. Julia looked over the room and then put the explosives down onto the ground. Before anyone could ask her what she was doing, she ignited them. Everyone ran as fast as they could out of the building. As soon as they all made it out, the bombs exploded, completely ruining the building. Julia seemed quite pleased with herself. James was frantic though. James: Jeez Julia! You could have at least told us that you were doing that before just doing it! Julia: Sorry! But hey! We did it! Fern: Right. Well if you’re done putting my life in danger, I’m getting out of here. I’m not like James here and just dawdle around all day. James: What?! I don’t- Fern: Peace! -leaves the area- James: He’s such a twerp. How do you put up with him Florinia? Florinia: I have a lot of patience. Julia: He sure knows how to sour a mood… Florinia: That is 1 of his few veritable competencies. Nonetheless, Obsidia requires further investigation. I will attend to that now. James: Wait. Obsidia? What’s that? Julia: It’s another ward! Florinia: It is East from the Grand Hall. Julia: Ok.~ Well thank you for helping Rini! It’s been so long since we last hung out at graduation buuuut I know you’ve been busy with stuff. It was awesome to hang out with you again! Just like old times right? Florinia: And equally destructive, correct. However, sentimentalities remain counter-productive. James, do you know that Reborn has something called Field Effects in battles. James: Field Effects? Umm… I can’t say I do know. Is it important? Florinia: Yes. In Reborn, Field Effects have positive and also negative effects for both trainers Pokemon. It is up to the trainer how to take advantage of it. Recently, trainers have been documenting the specific attributes of each environment. As such, I have created an application to catalogue these attributes and effects. Allow me to install this beta version into your Pokegear. James: Ok. Here you go. James handed over the Pokegear to Florinia. She pressed a couple of buttons and a ding sound could be heard from the device. She then handed it back to James. James: Thanks Florinia. Umm… The Electric Terrain? Florinia: Yes. Only that effect is stored in the device. If you want additional information on other Field Effects, you must acquire them in some way or form. James: Ohh. Well thanks Florinia. I’ll make sure to use this before every Gym Battle. Julia: Wait… Electric Terrain!? Rini! That’s for MY Gym! Are you giving James a lead on me?! Florinia: At any rate, I’ll report today’s proceedings to Ame. Farewell. -leaves the area- Julia: Rini!!! If you’re gonna sass me, at least do it with some feeling! James: Is she ok? She seems really… I don’t know. Julia: -sigh- She’s never been the same since… James: Since what? Julia… Nevermind! I’m glad you decided to help us out James! I’m not sure we would have been able to do that without you! You were great! James: Thanks. I’m glad I came too. It feels good to do good. Julia: Good guys are awesome! James: And it was kind of fun hanging out with you… Kind of. Julia: Yay! Well since my Gym isn’t going to randomly blow up, I’m gonna head back there now and get some sleep for tomorrow. James: Yea. I think I’m gonna do the same. Julia: You’re gonna come back with me to my Gym? James: What? No. I meant turn in for the night. I’m gonna go back to the Grand Hall. Julia: Ohh. Ok! Well I’ll see you tomorrow for when we have our Gym Battle! James: I can’t wait for it. Julia: -starts leaving the area- You know… if my Gym were to blow up, that’d be kind of cool. -leaves the area- James:… That girl is all types of weird. James was starting to feel really tired. He experienced so much in his 1st day of Reborn. Train explosion, an evil team, new friends, Gym Leaders, his girlfriend. It was wild. But he was still happy with the end result so far. He headed back to the Grand Hall and walked inside. Luckily, Ame was still at the counter. James: -yawns- I’m so ready for bed hun. Ame: I can tell. Did it go alright? James: We got them out of there. Florinia said she’d report more back to you. Ame: Alright. That’s good. I’m so glad you’re ok though. James: Me too. I can’t wait for tomorrow though. Ame: That’s right. You’re gonna have your Gym Battle with Julia right? James: Yea. I think I might do a little training tomorrow when I wake up. But it’ll be my 1st ever Gym Battle. Ame: I’m glad to see you’re excited. I’ll be rooting for you! Now let’s get you to a bed. James: Yea. Thanks hun. Ame opened up the way for James to come through and they went downstairs. They went into a room and got ready for bed. Before bed though, they kissed each other good night. They then laid down and drifted off peacefully to sleep. Pokemon Team Character Ratings

James walked back to the Grand Hall. By the time he got there, it was around the evening time. Surprisingly, there was still a decent amount of people there. He walked around the place looking for Ame. At last he found her over at a table near the corner of the building. He went over to her and gave her a big hug and then sat down next to her. Ame: Ahh! It felt like it’s been days since I last saw you. James: I know. I feel the same way. I’m just glad to be back. Ame: So how was your day? Has the training been good? James: Well my day was full of battles. -chuckles- But yea. Training has been decent. I think I’ve battled everyone in this ward. Ame: That’s great hun! James: Yea. I’ve never felt this way before but I’m definitely enjoying training and battling with my Pokemon. Ame: It’s good you’re starting to like that feeling hun. James: It is. By the way, did you get anything out of that person from before? Ame: Ahh. The interrogation. Normally, I wouldn’t tell anyone except for the higher ups but… I can let this slide. We did get more info out of him. James: What did he say? Ame: He isn’t working alone. He’s in some kind of team. As soon as Ame said that word team, James remembered about the 2 suspicious people back at that woman’s place back in the Peridot Ward. He had to tell her what had happened. James: Wait… Team? Ame: Yea… What is it? James: Before I came here, I was in a woman’s house. She was in trouble. These 2 suspicious people were in there trying to steal her Igglybuff. I got there in time and beat them in a battle. Before they left, they said the name of the team. They said it was Team- Ame: Meteor. James: Yes! Is that the time that guy said he was apart of? Ame: Yes. So you also had an altercation with them. James: Yea. It was crazy. They even had a motto. Ame: Wait. A motto? You mean like… how Team Rocket has a motto? James: Yea! It was weird. It had the same melody. Just different words. Ame: That’s odd. James: It is. But maybe they’re just trying to copy Team Rocket? Ame: I would believe that if they hadn’t killed the other trainers in the bombing of the Grandview Station. James: Ohh… Yea. Team Rocket just likes to steal Pokemon. Not do… that. Ame: He said more stuff too. They are planning on blowing up another place. James: What? Where? Ame: Julia’s Gym. James: She didn’t like the idea of that? Ame: She doesn’t like it when other people try to blow up things that belong to her. Now if she did it to her own stuff, then it wouldn’t be a problem. I told her to calm down and wait a few hours before going to the factory. James: Ohh yea. I saw a note on Julia’s Gym door earlier. It was very… wordy. Ame: Yes. That was probably Florinia’s doing. She’s this region’s Grass Type Gym Leader. James: By any chance, does she have a younger brother? Ame: Yes. I think his name is Fern. Why? James: He’s a twerp. Ame: Ahh. Yes. He can certainly rub people the wrong way. But those 3 were going to go to the factory earlier today but went to the wrong 1. But that might have been a blessing in disguise. James: What do you mean? Ame: I told them to wait until nighttime to go to their hideout and ambush them. They would never see it coming. James: Yea. Yea that is a pretty smart idea. Ame: Yea. I just hope those 3 are gonna be enough. I’d feel better if there were 4 people going. James thought about it. It would be a better possibility for this plan to work if more people attended this ambush. He knew if he was a bit stronger, he could help them and he did want to help them. James looked up at the clock. It was 6 P.M. James: When is the attack going to take place? Ame: I told them to not do it til 9. Why? James: Let me help them as well. Ame: What? Hun, I don’t know- James: Look, I’m stronger now than I was when I got here but I know I’m still weak. Please, help me train my Pokemon in the next 3 hours and then I can help them ambush Team Meteor. Ame: James… Alright. I can see I won’t be able to change your mind. -pulls out a phone- James: Uhh… who are you calling? Ame: You’ll see. Ame dialed up a number on her phone and started to speak to the person on the other side of it. She told this Beau person to bring herself and her friend Zach to the Grand Hall. She got a smile on her face and then hung up the phone. A couple of minutes passed by. 2 people walked up near to where James and Ame were. Ame saw them and pulled James towards their direction. The 2 seemed to be some kind of rich people. James was confused. Ame: Thank you both for coming. This means so much to me. Beau: No problem Ame. Anything to help you. Zach: Indeed. James: Who are they? Ame: Ahh. Right. James, this is Beau and Zach. Beau and Zach, this is James. He’s actually my boyfriend. Zach: Ohh! Well congratulations are in order then. Beau: You seem like a very nice man. James: Thanks. So what are you 2 doing here? Beau: Well isn’t it obvious? We’re here to help you train your Pokemon. Zach: So I hope you’re ready to have many Pokemon Battles in the next 3 hours. James: Wait. You 2 are Pokemon Trainers? Zach: Yes. Why? Does that shock you? James: I’m just not used to rich people being Pokemon Trainers. Beau: Well we aren’t just trainers. We also try to fund Ame here anything possible to try to get this Region back to its former glory. Ame: James, aren’t you from a rich family? And you’re here being a Pokemon Trainer. James: Ohh… yea… I guess you’re right. Sorry. Beau: -chuckles- It’s ok. But we better begin soon. Ame hasn’t told us why we have until 9 to help you train your Pokemon up as much as possible but it must be important. James: It really is. Thanks again. Ame: Alright. I gotta go take care of some stuff. Good luck hun. James: Thanks Ame. The 2 leaned into each other and kissed each other. Ame then went behind the counter and went downstairs. The Beau, Zach and James brought out their Pokemon and the training began. At 1st, James’ Pokemon had some difficulty keeping up with Zach and Beau’s Pokemon. But within an hour and a half, his Pokemon were right on par with theirs. This made James very happy. Within about 2 and a half hours of training, James’ Pokemon were now easily defeating Beau and Zach’s Pokemon. The 2 were very pleased with the results hsi Pokemon’s training. At 8:50 P.M., they decided to stop training. At that point, his Pokemon weren’t getting any stronger from defeating way weaker opponents. James: Thank you 2 so much. I never knew my Pokemon could get so strong. Zach: No problem James. Beau: Yes. Whatever it is you’re doing, be careful. We should get going now. Tell Ame it was nice to see her. James: I will. See you later you 2! Zach and Beau left the Grand Hall and headed home. At that time, Ame came back upstairs and stood behind the counter. James came up to her on the other side of it. Ame could tell that his Pokemon and himself had gotten stronger. Ame: So, how’d the training go? James: It was great! Me and my Pokemon are much stronger now! I feel more confident in my battling abilities now! Ame: I’m glad hun. But hey. It’s getting near 9. Head to Julia’s Gym. I just notified her that you’re gonna meet her there and then you 2 can meet up with Florinia and Fern at the factory. James: Alright. When this is all over, I’m coming back here. Ame: I hoped you would. Good luck hun and kick some ass! James: I plan on it. The 2 leaned over the counter and kissed each other good-bye. Afterwards, James left the Grand Hall and walked towards Julia’s Gym. It didn’t take long for him to get there. However, when he went to open the door, it swung open and smashed him in the face. He clutched his face in pain. Julia walked out and could see James was in pain. Julia: Oops! Sorry about that. James: Ow! Could you be more careful next time?! Jeesh! Julia: I will remember that for next time! But I got Ame’s message. I’m glad you’re coming with us to stop Team Meteor! Weird name right? James: I guess? Julia: And I can’t believe they were gonna try to blow up MY GYM! No 1 blows up my stuff unless it’s me! James: Well, Ame wasn’t lying when she said that about you. Julia: I can’t wait to go over there and boom their things! James: I can agree with you on that 1. By the way, where is Florinia and Fern. Julia: They’re coming! We’re gonna meet them at the Mosswater Factory. James: So that’s what it’s called huh? Julia: Mhm! We should start going there now! It’s almost 9! The 2 started to go over to the Mosswater Factory. Or more like James walked as Julia skipped along. He was ready for this ambush against this Team Meteor. He was also getting excited to try out his now stronger Pokemon against them. He was feeling very confident and also getting excited for this mission. Pokemon Team Character Ratings
