章 124: EPISODE 124: Heads or Tails!?

<Magmortarrr!>The Pokemon raged with determination.

<Grovyle! Grovyle!>The Pokemon glared at its foe, as determination filled its spirit.

"Magmortar has the upper hand, since it's a fire type," Zhery uttered with a worried face.

"Speed can defeat type disadvantage, Grovyle is a fast-paced Pokemon," Glade explained.

"The battle, begins now!" Murdock proclaimed!

"Magmortar use sunny day!"

<Magmortar!>The Pokemon's fire attacks were boosted!

"Grovyle, use Leaf storm, and send it directly towards Magmortar!"

"Burn those leaves with flame thrower!"

*The leaves heading towards Magmortar were burned!*

"That's one strong flame thrower! Grovyle, use Iron Tail!"

"Magmortar, grab Grovyle's tail and throw him back to Kalem!"

<Mag! Mag! Magmortar!>The Pokemon grabbed the foe's leg! Grovyle was thrown back to me.

"Grovyle, get up quick!"

"Magmortar, use flame thrower on Grovyle!"

"Dodge it Grovyle!"

<Grov! Grov!>The Pokemon dodged the attack!

"Your Grovyle is fast Kalem, but is it fast enough?" Zedrick grinned.

"Of course it is, Grovyle use Leaf blade on the ground!"

<Grovyle! Grov!>Lare rocks were sliced down, forming numerous shards!

"Use Flame Burst now!"

"Grovyle, use the shards and reflect the Flame burst!"

<Grovyle! Grov!... Grovyle!?>The shards melted! Flame burst was super effective!

"Hehe..." Zedrick grinned.

"Father knew, that Kalem was going to use the battlefield... that's why he boosted Magmortar's fire attacks!" Kira uttered with shock and worry while watching the match.

"Now I get it, thanks to sunny day... Magmortar's flame burst attack doubled and melted the shards!" Glade uttered softly.

"Magmortar, use Fire punch!"

"Grovyle, hide behind the rocks!"

*Magmortar punched the rocks instead of Grovyle! Grovyle was safe and protected!*

"Grovyle, now use Leaf Blade!"

"Counter it with fire punch on the arm!"

<Magmortar! Mag!>The Pokemon damaged the foe's arm! Grovyle's arm sparkled with a yellow veil.

"Oh no Grovyle!" I panicked.

"Grovyle's arm is paralyzed due to Magmortar's strong fire punch, which means Leaf Blade is disabled!" Murdock uttered softly while observing the battle.

"What are you going to do now Kalem Ketsueki? Magmortar, use Flame thrower this time!"

"That's it! Grovyle, spin your tail and use it as a propeller!"

<Grov! Grov! Grov!>The Pokemon spun its tail! Wind began to circulate and blew away the flames!

"That was unexpected... Magmortar, use flamethrower again!"

"Then use the same tactic and blow the flames away!"

*Flame Thrower was canceled !*

"Now use Iron Tail Grovyle!"

"Wrong choice!"

"Wrong choice!?"

"Magmortar, grab Grovyle's leg and use dynamic punch on it!"

<Magmortar!>The Pokemon paralyzed the foe's leg.

"Kalem... focus, Grovyle's tail is the only hope to extinguish Magmortar's flames, yet you used an attack which could make its tails vulnerable. Now you have to deal with two problems, the tail and the legs." Zedrick uttered and explained.

"I haven't thought of that..." I uttered with shock and worry.

"Magmortar... finish Grovyle with Flame Thrower!"

<Magmortar!>The Pokemon unleashed its fire attack! It was super effective!

<Gro... Gro...>The Pokemon dropped and fainted!

"Grovyle is unable to battle... trainer Kalem! Please choose your next Pokemon!" Murdock instructed.

"Grovyle, return to your Pokeball!" Zedrick's explanations made me even more worried! He was able to think of counter-attacks against my Pokemons very quickly while me, on the other hand, made numerous mistake. One mistake is a wasted move!

"Buddy, you're up next!" I beamed with determination.

"Hehe, I'll show Magmortar what I got!" Riolu uttered with determination.

"Let the battle continue!"

"Magmortar, use Flame thrower!"

"Riolu, dodge the attack then use Vacuum Wave!"

*Riolu was able to dodge the attack! Vacuum wave dealt maximum damage*

"Magmortar use Fire Blast!"

"Riolu, dodge the attack then use force palm on Magmortar's pipe thingy!"

Magmortar, burn your pipes!"

<Mag! Magmortar!>The Pokemon burned its pipes!

Riolu touched Magmortar, and burned its palm!

"Well that was unexpected..." Glade uttered with shock.

"Magmortar can handle its own temperature. It's a fire type after all." Kira explained.

"Now use Dynamic punch on Riolu!"

<Rio!>The Pokemon was pushed back!

"Riolu use Vacuum wave instead!"

"Magmortar, quick! Use Flame thrower!"

"Now block it with metal claw!"

*Riolu is trying to withstand the flames while protecting itself with metal claw!*

"Riolu you can do this!" I cheered loudly.

Slowly by slowly, Riolu was able to push back the flame thrower!

"Great Riolu, now use Force palm again!"

<Magmortaaarrrr!>The Pokemon blasted backwards.

"Follow it up, with numerous metal claws!"

<Rio! Rio!>The Pokemon scratched Magmortar's body with metal claw!

"Magmortar, use Flame thrower now!"

<Rioooo!>The Pokemon blasted back!

"Follow it up with fire blast!"

"Dodge it Riolu!"

Riolu's eyes saw the attack coming, he tried to stand up but failed. His body lacked energy.

"Magmortar, finish Riolu with fire punch!"

"Riolu, intercept with force palm!"

*Despite having many wounds, Riolu stood up and intercepted the foe's attack!*

"Push Riolu, Magmortar!"

"Riolu, you can do this! Push Magmortar!"

<Riolu!><Magmortar!>The two Pokemon glared while pushing each other.

"That's it Riolu, let go then dunk! Use Seismic toss!"

*Magmortar's flame thrower missed when Riolu dunked! Seismic toss dealt maximum damage!*

The dust scattered around when Magmortar's body descended to the ground.

From the dust around, two red eyes glared at me and Riolu. The dust cleared sometime later, and Magmortar was still standing firm!?

"That Magmortar, it's overpowered!" Camellia uttered with worry.

"I've been training my Magmortar for years! It won't be defeated with a simple toss. Now use Fire Punch!"

"Riolu, hide behind the rock!"

*Magmortar's fire punch landed on the rock instead!*

"Now use Force palm!"

*Magmortar was sent back!*

"Magmortar use flame thrower again!"

<Rioooo!>The Pokemon wasn't able to react quickly.

"Riolu, you can do this stand firm!"

"Magmortar, use fire punch and finish Riolu!"

"Riolu dunk then use Seismic toss!"

"Kick Riolu!"

*The Pokemon was kicked back to the wall!*

"Riolu! Please don't faint now!" I begged.

Riolu's heart began to pump harder and beat louder. He wiped his sweat away and gasped for air. Riolu's flame was still burning inside of him... and that's when he started to glow again.

A white veil surrounded Riolu's body, as he slowly got taller. Everybody was in awe... Riolu's ears were getting longer but... all of sudden, the evolutionary process stopped!

"Riolu stopped evolving? Well what do you know." Zedrick uttered with relief.

"Even if Riolu doesn't evolve, it's fine by me! Riolu, now use Force palm!"

"Intercept with fire punch!"

"Use Seismic toss on Magmortar!"

"Kick Riolu!"

"Cling to Magmortar's leg then climb up!"

*Riolu was able to climb Magmortar's head!*

"Now use Force palm on its head!"

<Mag!>The Pokemon uttered with pain.

"Magmortar, burn your head!"

*Riolu burned with Magmortar's head!*

"Riolu, don't give up... keep using force palm!"

<Rio! Rio!>Riolu stayed firm under fire and tribulation, he continued to attack Magmortar's head with numerous force palms! Riolu hopped back to my side afterwards.

Me and Zedrick stared at our Pokemons as they wait to see who would drop first. It's only a matter of time and energy.

"Riolu, stay firm! I know you're tired, but we need to win!" I cheered Riolu to comfort his tired soul. Riolu was gasping hardly while glaring at Magmortar.

"Magmortar, don't give up now! This is no place to faint!"

<...>The Pokemon dropped and fainted!

"Riolu is unable to battle, trainer Kalem, please send out your last Pokemon!" Murdock instructed.

"Riolu, at least you tried your best. Take a long nap."

"Magmortar, have this oran berry! You deserve it!"

"Zoroark, it's all up to you now!"

<Zoroark!>The Pokemon raged loudly as it stepped out of her Pokeball.

"It's a one against three, Zedrick has the upper hand." Camellia uttered with worry.

"Battle continue!"

"Magmortar! Use Flame thrower!"

"Zoroark, use Flame Thrower as well!"

<Magmorrrtaarrr... Mag! Mag!>The Pokemon coughed! It was unable to use flame thrower! The foe's flame thrower dealt maximum damage!

"Magmortar is no longer able to battle. Zedrick, please choose your second Pokemon." Murdock instructed.

"Electivire, you're up next!"

<Electivire! Electivire!>

"Let the battle continue!"

"Electivire, use electro ball!"

"Dodge it then use throat chop!"

*Electivire's throat was held by Zoroark's hand, they ascended to the sky as she threw her foe back to the ground!

"Now use night slash on Electivire!"

<Zoroark!>The Pokemon descended on Electivire's belly and sliced it with night slash!

"Electivire, use thunder now!"

*Zoroark was thrown off the foe's belly*

"Electivire, use thunder punch!"

"Quick, use Night daze before Electivire hits you!"

<Zor! Zor!>The Pokemon unleshed its signature move!

"Looks like Kalem is handling Electivire with ease." Glade uttered with relief.

"Zoroark, now use night slash again!"

<Zor! Zor!>

"Again and again! Especially on its face!"

<Zor! Zoroark!>Electivire's face was filled with slashes.

"Electivire, use thunder punch now!"

"Hold Electivire's fist! Then, kick it's stomach!"

<Electivire!>The Pokemon blasted back!

"That Zoroark is strong, Electivire use thunder punch again!"

"Zoroark, rush to Electivire's leg then use night slash!"

*Zoroark ran like a wolf, her attack was able to paralyze the foe's leg!*

"What the!?" Zedrick uttered with shock.

"Now use night daze again!"

*Night daze dealt a critical hit!*

"Electivire is no longer able to battle. Zedrick, please send out your last Pokemon!" Murdock instructed.

"Electivire, thanks for everything. Now come on out Greninja!"

"It's father's favorite Pokemon..." Kira uttered with shock.

"Battle continue!"

"Greninja, use brutal swing!"

<Gren!>The Pokemon ran like a fast-paced ninja!

"Zoroark!"

*Zoroark was tossed to the air brutally! She landed on the ground very harshly.*

<Zor... Zoroark!>The Pokemon pushed herself back!

"Zoroark, use night slash!"

"Intercept with night slash too!"

*Zoroark and Greninja intercepted each other's attack!*

"Zoroark, kick Greninja leg!"

"Use night slash on Zoroark's neck!"

*Both Pokemons blasted back!*

"My neck!>Zoroark uttered in pain. Tears fell from her eyes due to the pain.

"Father doesn't want to see if Kalem is strong!" Kira realized.

"What!? Then why did he challenge Kalem?" Zhery uttered with shock.

"You'll see... It's up to Kalem's decision." Kira uttered softly.

"Zoroark's neck is in pain... It's swelling gravely." I uttered in my mind with worry.

"Greninja, use water shuriken and send it to Zoroark's neck!"

"What the!? Why is Zedrick targetting the neck!"

<Zoroark!>The Pokemon cried in pain.

"Come on Kalem, command Zoroark!" Zhery shouted.

"Zoroark, dodge the attack!"

*The Pokemon was unable to dodge the attack! It was focused on her neck.*

The goal of battling is not to make the foe bleed, but why did Zedrick make Zoroark's neck bleed.

"Come on Kalem... whatever you're thinking, it's correct! Father's testing you." Kira uttered softly.

"I'm not a murderer, but the trial must go on." Zedrick uttered on his mind.

"Zoroark, can... can you still handle the pain?" I queried with worry.

"K... Kalem, command me a move." Zoroark instructed.

"Your neck is bleeding Zoroark, can you-"

"Just do it Kalem! I can handle it, command me a move!" Zoroark instructed while holding her painful neck.

"Zo... Zoroark, use night slash." I uttered with uncertainty. I started to worry on my mind.

"Greninja, grab Zoroark's neck and pinched it! Throw Zoroark afterward!" Zedrick instructed.

"What the!?" I uttered with surprise.

Zoroark was thrown to the sky, and landed back harshly. Zoroark pushed herself up, but her neck was bleeding heavily. Tears fell off her eyes, but she still wanted to fight.

"Zedrick's not battling anymore." Camellia utterd with worry.

"My father sacrificed Electivire on purpose so that Greninja could come out. A Ketsueki, does not live only to become a champion, but also to..." Kira uttered slowly.

"Kalem! A move please?" Zoroark begged.

I was speechless for a moment. How could I overcome this situation.

"Greninja, use Night slash on Zoroark's torso!"

<Gren! Gren!>The Pokemon pushed Zoroark to the wall!

Zoroark knew if she gave up, all those training we did yesterday would be wasted. She pulled herself together and handled the pain. No matter how many blood fell on the ground, she still trusts me that we could win together!

"Kalem! Don't worry about me. Don't worry about me." Zoroark uttered while crying in pain.

"Finish Zoroark, with water Shuriken on the neck!" Zedrick uttered with hesitation. It was like, he doesn't want to do it but has to.

"Zoroark!" I shouted and panicked. I had no choice but to protect Zoroark's neck, it was bleeding, even if it's a battle, it' a trainer's duty to protect his or her Pokemon.

"Kalem what!?" Zoroark uttered with shock, she saw me blocking and protecting her body.

"Wait what!?" Everybody was speechless and surprised!

I blasted back and protected Zoroark's weak and injured body.'

"Kalem no! I didn't mean to..." Zedrick uttered with worry and rushed towards me.

My friends alongside Kira stood up as well, even Murdock was concerned.

I pushed my body back up, and protected my Zoroark.

"Zedrick, I surrender!" I shouted loudly.

"I know, that if I surrender, I will be called a loser and a scapegoat. I don't care if people call me a quitter, I don't care if my reputation declines." I uttered loudly.

Zoroark was behind me, listening to what I was saying in front of my friends, my cousin, Murdock, and Zedrick.

"Let the people call me a quitter, I'll stand and protect my Pokemon! It is a trainer's duty to protect his or her Pokemon, Zoroark is no exception. Her neck is badly injured, and I can't let her condition worsen. I will take a rematch against Murdock. I'm fine with that, at least my Zoroark is safe and protected!"

Zedrick's face smiled greatly towards me. He clapped his hands slowly while walking towards me.

"Kalem Ketsueki, you remind me of your mother," Zedrick uttered softly.

"M... My mother?"

"Your mother said the exact same words when she battled against her father. Her father was using a Chesnaught against her Blaziken. Chesnaught was targetting Blaziken's neck, so your mother decided to stop and surrender." Zedrick uttered softly as tears flowed from her eyes.

"It is not about winning nor losing, it's how you fought. No matter what the situation is, no matter what's happening around you... A Ketsueki, is always compassionate towards not only his or her Pokemons but to every Pokemon he or she sees." Zedrick uttered softly.

"You have proven today, that you value your compassion towards your Pokemons rather than having many victories and trophies. Zoroark's eagerness to battle, even if she has a wound on her neck, and your compassion towards her has shown me how unbreakable your bond is." Zedrick added.

"I challenged you, so I could see how compassionate you are, in times like this. What makes you different from other trainers, is you... value other's life first before yours." Zedrick added.

Zedrick's words left me speechless. The whole match was a trial, to see and test my compassion towards others during times like this.

"Th... Thank you Zedrick. Murdock, I'll be taking my rematch tomorrow." I uttered with relief while helping Zoroark stand up.

"No need for a rematch. You deserve the gym badge, win or lose. As a gift for your compassion, I give you the Phantom badge!" Murdock smiled and handed me a violet ghost badge.

"Thank you Murdock... thank you Zedrick," I uttered with joy and relief.

"Have you opened the wooden box I gave you?" Zedrick queried.

"Umm... I forgot, hehe!" I uttered with embarrassment.

"That's ok, just open it when you need it. For now, didnt you say that you were going to catch a legendary bird?" Zedrick recalled.

"Oh right, I almost forgot! Thank you so much Zedrick. I'll be doing that, first thing in the morning!" I beamed with excitement.

"Alright, I suggest that you go to the Pokemon center first, before going back to the hotel." Murdock proposed.

"Don't worry, I'll be doing that right away!"

A trainer's duty is to strengthen his or her Pokemons, to train them, and to grow closer with them. In order to grow closer, one must show compassion to his or her Pokemons. When there is compassion, there is love. Love is what strengthens the bond between trainers and Pokemon! It's not about winning or losing, it's how you fought which counts! It's legendary hunting time!


章 125: EPISODE 125: The Path of time!

<Tun tun tun nun nun!>The bell sounded loudly.

"Alright Trainer Kalem, Zoroark is feeling much better now." Nurse Joy uttered with a pleasant smile as Zoroark walks out of the emergency room with a long red bandage applied on its neck.

"Thank you for your assistance Nurse Joy!" I gushed with joy and pleasure while playing with Zoroark's chin.

<Zor! Zoroark!>The Pokemon showed affection by licking my cheeks.

"Don't let Zoroark participate in battles for now, and I suggest that you keep Zoroark out of her Pokeball while her wound is healing." Nurse Joy recommended and reminded with a pleasant smile.

"Sure thing Nurse Joy... Zoroark, you stay with my friends while I'm off to the towers." Rubbing her chin, I instructed Zoroark to stay momentarily with my friends while I visit the legendary towers.

"Don't worry Kalem! We'll make sure Zoroark is safe and sound." Zhery promised with a pleasant smile on her face.

"Thanks Zhery, I'll be off to the legendary towers. Keep my wooden box safe for now while I'm gone too!"

Excitement shivers around my body, I can finally catch a legendary Pokemon. Still, even with a legendary Pokemon, I won't be able to use it in the Laurenburg Pokemon League. Gym battles? No, I can't use legendaries as well, but I can use them to battle ordinary matches or rivalry matches.

Each tower has a specific direction, one lies in the east... one lies in the west, and one lies in the north. The catch is, you're not sure which tower your heading to, meaning... You have to choose from three paths, there are no labels on what tower you're heading to, or symbols either. It's a guess, and once you reach the tower... there's no going back.

"Kalem Ketsueki, welcome to the Idai-sa no michi" Zedrick introduced while his cape flapped majestically.

"Or in English, the 'Paths to greatness'" Murdock added and translated.

"Now, it's time for your legendary hunting event! The rules are simple to understand." Zedrick uttered with a smile.

"I'm ready Zedrick, Murdock! Hit me with some rules!" I beamed with excitement and determination.

"First thing's first! You need six Pokemons." Murdock instructed.

"Six Pokemons? Phew... Good thing I switched out Scyther before I left." My once worried mood turned into exuberance after remembering my deeds. I asked Professor Bellice to send Scyther to me since Zoroark and her Pokeball is with Zhery and my friends.

"Hehe, don't get excited quickly... a lot of trainers lost the battle against the legendary birds," Zedrick warned.

"I can just throw my master ball right?"

"You only have one master ball, if the legendary bird dodges the ball... it is game over. I suggest that you put the Pokemon to sleep first or make it faint. No one was able to succeed, that's why they're still three." Murdock recommended.

"Um... ok then, what are the other rules?"

"As you can see, there is no sign nor label to where you are heading to. Meaning, you have to choose one, without knowing which legendary bird you shall be battling." Zedrick instructed and explained.

"All the towers have the same color, meaning you will only know what legendary Pokemon lies in the tower, if you reach the top floor," Murdock added.

"Seems simple to me, alright, let's do this!" I beamed with excitement.

"Not so fast, during your journey towards one of the three legendary towers lies a trial you must pass. If you pass the trial, you move to the tower, if you fail, it's game over." Murdock warned.

"T... Trial? What kind of trial?"

"There are four trials you must surpass in order to reach the legendary bird. The trial of time, trial of space, trial of life, and the trial of matter." Zedrick explained.

"The trial takes place when it wants too. Be careful, oh... and one more thing, once you catch the legendary bird, temptation shall strike you on your way down." Zedrick warned.

"Temptation?"

"Yes, while you walk upon the stairs on your way down, temptation will force you to look back, if you look back... the legendary bird shall return to the top floor even if it is inside the master ball. It's game over when you look back." Zedrick warned.

"What's the purpose of all these trials anyway?"

"These trials make sure that the legendary birds don't fall to the hands of evil. Temptation flows in the heart of evil, if you surpass temptation, you are worthy of the legendary bird." Murdock explained.

"The time is right for the trials to place, choose one path and it shall guide you to the treasure of the legendary towers. No matter what, do not let evil take over your heart, once it does... you automatically fail the trials of Densetsu! Or... legends in English." Murdock's voice echoed over the mountains.

"So Riolu, what path should we take? Left... right... or forward?"

"I don't know... the decision is up to you! Don't regret it once you finally make up your mind."

"Of course Riolu... but since you are my buddy, I want you to choose a path! Go ahead."

"R... Really kalem!?" RIolu beamed with joy as sparkles covered his eyes.

"Of course! Now choose one buddy!"

"Ok... hmmm? Let's see..." Riolu squinted his eyes and thought deeply.

"So what's the decision Kalem and Riolu?" Zedrick queried.

"Well left means right and right means wrong, forwards means.... Let's just take the left." Riolu suggested.

"Alright then, Zedrick, Murdock! We choose the left to take the left side!" I beamed with excitement.

"Hmmm, ok then. You're up for a tight spot. Please state to me your current team." Murdock instructed.

"Sure!

-Grovyle

-Support

-Scyther

-Riolu

-Gardevoir

-Mawile

Zoroark is with my friends while Dragonair is with my official professor."

"I see... here's a hint to where you are heading. This legendary bird knows a move that could knock out your Pokemons in one hit!" Murdock chanted.

"Thanks, Riolu... our legendary adventure begins today!" I beamed with excitement.

"Pass through the arc, and once you step inside... you can no longer step out," Zedrick warned.

My feet walked slowly towards the red arc. It was shivering with excitement and worry for my upcoming events. Once I pass through, there's no going back. Am I ready? Of course!

Me and Riolu leaped inside the Arc! A leap of faith indeed. I looked behind, Zedrick and Murdock disappeared right away. It was like their bodies dispersed just like Mr.Hikari.

"The decision has been made, there's no turning back Riolu! Let's go."

The path was made out of brittle pebbles, while white snowy trees surrounded the area. The ambiance was silent, and all we saw were squirming Pokemons.

"Seems normal to me," I uttered with relief while walking with my buddy Riolu.

It is indeed a long walk to the tower, I don't even know which tower I am headed to. Eyes watch, ears listen, something unexpected might happen.

"Riolu, do you feel something strange?" I queried while tingles flowed up my spine.

"I feel perfectly normal. Are you hallucinating Kalem?"

"I don't know... I feel a sudden pull. Like something is pulling me from behind." I uttered with worry.

"It's probably your imagination-" Riolu uttered when suddenly multiple voices uttered in front.

"Step right up folks!"

"2 for one, 2 for one!"

"Buy and Sell! Buy and Sell!"

"Mommy can you buy me that doll?"

"Not not Sabrina..."

The voices seem to be coming from a nearby market.

"Riolu, come on... let's go!" I beamed with excitement and followed the voices.

The voices led me and Riolu to a not so shabby public market. There were thousands of food stalls everywhere, and everyone was wearing old fashioned Japanese clothing.

"Excuse, what year is it today?" I queried one of the bartenders.

"What year? It's 1998 sonny, have you been asleep or what? haha!" The bartender teased.

"1998, but today is 2020," I uttered softly.

"Hi there Mr!" A young girl with a dark green hair uttered behind.

"Oh hi there... are you from around here?" I queried.

"Nope, my name is Sabrina and I'm from the Kanto region! This is Abra. Isn't he cute?" The young toddler laughed and chuckled.

"Um... yeah, he looks cute. Are you lost Sabrina?" I queried.

"Yes... I was trying to look for my mother, but I got lost. Can you help me find my mother? Please..." Sabrina smiled and begged.

"Don't get distracted Kalem, we have to get to the tower," Riolu uttered.

"Um... we have to help Sabrina first Riolu, this might be a trial," I whispered softly.

"Trial? What trial?" Sabrina queried.

"Wait... you heard my voice!?" I uttered with shock.

"Mother thought me how to hear silent voices, she's a gym leader from the Kanto region, and soon? I'll be taking her place!" Sabrina smiled and chuckled.

"Oh, ok then. Come on, let's go help find your mother."

Me, Riolu, and Sabrina walked across the large crowd. A lot of people were buying Magikarps, Feebases, and different vegetables. Smoke gave me and Riolu eagerness to buy some food.

"Hey Mr.Kalem, how come your shirt is different from mine?" Sabrina queried.

"Ah.... um, you know my name?"

"Yes! I can read your mind as well, it looks to me you're from the future!" Sabrina smiled and grinned.

"Yeah... don't tell anyone alright, please," I begged.

"Sure thing, but first... please buy me that doll," Sabrina begged.

"You want that creepy looking green-haired doll!?"

"It doesn't look creepy. Actually, it looks like me."

"Fine... I'll buy the doll for you, but you promise me not to tell anyone."

"Of course Mr.Kalem! Your secret is safe with me!"

I bought an old creepy doll which looked like a girl with green hair. The doll had a royal white gown and a small little hat.

"Here's your doll Sabrina!"

"Thank you Mr! Watch this..." Sabrina uttered with joy and played with her doll.

"Hi there! My name is Sabrina!" The doll suddenly spoke.

"What!? Is it possessed or something!?" I queried with fear.

"No... I was talking through the doll. Don't worry, I'm a friendly little girl, in the past of course." Sabrina chuckled.

"Yeah... Let's just go, before something weird happens again." I uttered with fear.

How could a girl speak through a doll!? She can read people's minds? Is she a Psychic Pokemon or something.

"Come on Kalem, don't be a scaredy Meowth!" Sabrina smiled and chuckled.

"A... A scaredy Meowth? What are you talking about?" I queried.

"You're scared to battle me in the future. Is that correct?" Sabrina queried.

"Can you stop reading my mind. Just play with your creepy doll please." I begged.

"No problem Mr.Kalem! I'll be waiting at the docks of Vermillion city." Sabrina smiled and chuckled again.

"Wait... I'm going to the Kanto region in the future!?" I uttered with shock.

"I don't know... If I tell you, it won't happen. Hee hee!"

"Um... ok then, it's fine by me. Let's go find your mother!"

Sabrina's weird powers were starting to make me worried. She could see the past and the future? And you expect me to win against her in the future?

"She's gonna forget about me right? Once the trial is over." I whispered silently to Riolu's ear.

"Probably... I'm even scared to go near her." Riolu uttered with fear, and that's when we heard two strange grunts with an R on their chest. They looked young, and they were trying to bully someone.

"Give me your money now!" the grunt uttered.

"Ah!? Mr.Kalem, it's my mommy! Team Rocket is trying to steal money from her." Sabrina uttered with shock and worry.

"Team Rocket!? What are they doing here, shouldn't they be in the Kanto region?" I queried.

"Don't ask me, ask those grunts! Please save my mother Kalem!" Sabrina begged.

"Of course I will, at least it's not team Chaos!" I beamed with determination and leaped into action.

"Hey! Leave the woman alone team Rocket!" I uttered with resentment.

"No one messes with team Rocket, kid! Leave us alone or prepare for trouble!"

"Fine by me, I'll fight you!"

"Do you know who you're dealing with?"

"Team Rocket grunts who will soon blast off, hence the name... Rocket!" I teased.

"Grgh! This is the last draw! Prepare for trouble and make it double. To infect the world with devastation, to blight all people in every nation! To denounce the goodness of truth and love, to extend our wrath to the stars above, Team rocket, circling Earth all day and night, surrender now or you'll surely lose the fight!" The grunts warned.

"Aren't you two, too young to become grunts of evil organizations?" I queried sarcastically.

"Grgh! Just you wait, come on out Koffing! The name's Archer!"

"Ekans, it's your turn to shine... my name is Proton!"

"A two on one battle? Alright then! Shuppet I choose you!"

<Shuppet! Shup!>The Pokemon floated around me and Riolu. Everybody was watching with awe.

"Don't be an arrogant child, Ekans... use bite!"

"Koffing, use sludge wave!"

"Shuppet, dodge the attacks then use Nightshade on Ekans!"

<Ekans!>The Pokemon uttered with rage.

"Now use Sucker Punch on Koffing!"

<Shuppet Shup!>The Pokemon smiled gladly and launched the attack on Koffing! Both Pokemons bounced back to their trainers.

"Use Sucker punch again, then night shade on Ekans!"

"Koffing, dodge the attack!"

"Ekans you too!"

*The Pokemons were unable to dodge! Shuppet began to glow!*

"Yay Mr.Kalem! Yay!" Sabrina uttered with joy.

"Oh no... It's a rocket emergency." Proton uttered with fear.

"Yes! Good work Shuppet, keep up the evolutionary process!" I beamed with excitement.

"Shuppet is evolving! Shuppet is evolving!" The Pokemon smiled and floated around while evolving into a Pokemon.

<Shup! Shup! Bannette!>The Pokemon evolved into a scarier form. She had a zipper on her mouth and was colored in twilight darkness.

Her eyes were scary and gloomy. She looked like a scary puppet, with a golden zipper mouth.

"Shuppet is no longer Shuppet! Shuppet is now Banette!" The Pokemon beamed with excitement and circled Ekans and Koffing. She showed her scary face and opened the zipper located on her mouth. The two Pokemons saw an unforgettable nightmare.

"Ahh!? We'll be coming back for you!" Proton warned.

"Riolu, blast them off with Seismic toss!"

<Rio!>The two grunts were thrown to the sky, alongside with their Pokemons.

"We're blasting off again!" Proton and the other grunt uttered with fear and worry while flying through the sky.

"Well what do you know... This wasn't their first time blasting off!" I teased and laughed.

"Banette is strong!" The Pokemon uttered with joy and hugged my body.

"I know Banette! Your power is amazing! Congratulations on evolving!" I beamed with excitement while hugging her back.

"Mommy are you ok?" Sabrina rushed with a worried mood.

"Yes I am dear... I've been worried sick! Where have you been!"

"I was looking for you too mommy, but Mr.Kalem found me and bought me this doll!" Sabrina beamed with joy.

Sabrina's mother went near me and thanked me for saving her and reuniting her with her daughter. Her face gave me a pleasant smile.

"Bye Mr.Kalem! Bye Riolu! I'll be waiting at Vermillion city, then... I'll challenge you at Saffron city!" Sabrina uttered and smiled.

"Yeah... sure, I'll be waiting for you too. hehe." I uttered with worry and fear while walking further from the market.

Everything turned silent, and when I and Riolu looked back? Everybody was gone. The market disappeared and the trees continued to sway.

"I guess that means, we passed the trial of time." I smiled and hunched.

"Yay! That leaves us to three more trials right?"

"You're right Riolu! Thanks to Banette, we were able to save Sabrina's mother." I uttered softly while holding her Pokeball.

"That Sabrina seemed strange to me, I guess you have a future meeting with her!" Riolu teased.

"That's when I go to the Kanto region, for now? Let's just focus on the present and prepare for the future!"
