Henry grabs Michio and starts to untie him. Henry's mask is a frowny face with the eyebrows arched.
"Michio are you okay?!" Henry shakes Michio after the final rope was undone. Michio whacks Henry's hands off him.
"I am fine you idiot. I was just pretending to be hurt so that I could surprise attack Hazel." Michio grabs Henry and puts him in a choke hold.
"Wow wow calm down Michio we had no idea you were planning to do that. What about you put Henry down and lets try to talk civilly." I try to pry Michio's hands off of Henry's neck.
Michio let's go of Henry saying," Tch, Henry come on we need to go challenge the next gym leader. Honey see you later in Hulbury."
Henry walks after Michio then turns his head to face me," Bye Honey I guess I will see you at Hulbury where I will challenge you!" Henry and Michio run off before I could reply.
Well I guess I am battling Henry at Hulbury. Wait I better get to the pokemon center. I look at Echo's pokeball and make my way to the Turffield pokemon center. When I get there I see a few trainers waiting for pokemon to be healed. I walk up to one of the trainers after I gave Echo's pokeball to Nurse Joy.
"Hey why are there so many people here waiting to have there pokemon healed?" I sit down next to a trainer who is waiting near the Pokemart stand.
"Haven't you heard the first gym leader has been demolishing trainers left and right. So far only seven people have beaten the gym. The rest of us tried but we were not strong enough." The trainer grips a pokeball in his hand.
"Well that number will go up to eight then when I beat the gym." I walk over to Nurse Joy when she calls my name. I grab Echo's pokeball and walk out the door but before I walked out I heard a shout.
It was from the trainer I was talking to earlier," I'm warning you don't come crying to me when lose!"
I stop at the door," No I won't lose because I believe in myself and my pokemon. We have trained ourselves for this and I made a promise to them that we would become stronger. Even if we lose my pokemon, and I will just train harder, and try again. Unlike you who is sitting there mourning losing one time I am determined to win this for not just me but my pokemon." Then I walk out leaving that trainer speechless along with the others who were in there having there pokemon healed.
I release all my pokemon onto the ground half way to the gym," Okay guys we are going to the first gym to challenge it. Now before we go Snorunt, Espurr, Togepi would you like to have names of your own?"
The three I asked nodded their heads for wanting their own names.
"Togepi would you like the name Leilani which means heavenly flower." Togepi flaps its arms at the name in acceptance. I felt the bond click in place and felt the pure love Leilani has for me.
"Mama mama!" Leilani chirps. Aw honestly this has made my day being able to understand Leilani.
I look at Snorunt and think for a moment and see it dancing around," Snorunt would you like the name Minuet it means slow graceful dance." Snorunt twirls and trills when she hears the name. The bond snaps into place and I feel joy.
"I love to dance, and to have a name that means to dance is great!" Minuet twirls around Espurr.
The last one now that needs a name. I look closly and notice how Espurr seems to be comfortable near everyone. This is strange since psychic types are usually shy when they first are introduced to new pokemon and trainer.
I got an idea," Espurr would you like to be named Balwin? The name means brave protector." The Espurr nods his head at the name. The bond snaps into place with a feeling of calmness flowing through.
"Thank you Honey for giving me, Minuet and Mercy the chance to be caught. Hopefully we will go far together." Balwin crosses his armes when he says this. I smile then leaning forward grab my new friends into my arms.
"No I should the one to be thanking all of you for being here. Now we are going to be battling the gym here. Who wants to battle the gym with me?" I grab Echo and Mercy and pull them into the group hug.
Balwin speaks first," I would love to be to battle for you Honey and I want to beat my opponent!"
"Balwin thank you so much! Now who else wants to battle?" I still have not let my pokemon out the group hug. Since it feels great to be able to have a group hug.
Echo rolls her eyes," Honey of course I am going to be battling you idiot. Now let me and the others go, you are squeezing the life out of me!" I quickly let Echo and the rest down.
Sorry I was so excited for this! Now come on ladies and gentlemen lets go beat that gym!" I return all the pokemon but Mercy. I let him settle on my head.
When I go inside I walk over to the back to the man at the counter." I'm here to challenge the gym."
The man looks at me," Go to the changing room then proceed to the gym challenge. Also your Rookidee can be outside its pokeball but just make sure it does not create a mess." Mercy scoffs at what the man said about him creating a mess. After I change into my challenger uniform I go to the man standing at the back to start the challenge.
This man tells me," Okay challenger for the gym challenge you have to answer three questions about steel types. If you answer correctly you can go on to the next question. If you lose though you have to battle the gym trainer who asked the question." I psych myself up I got this. I know riddles and if I don't know the answer I always have Echo to beat them. I walk through the door onto a stage.
I have just been put under quararantine because of a family member having covid. My editor refuses to look at any future chapters since I am suspected of having covid. I will mass release at the end of the two week quarantine.
