I hate to be the dude to tell you some (potential) bad news buuut we probably won't get Terra until Friday. The reason? Mewtwo. Maybe it's just me but I always seem to have a problem with that battle but if it's anything like these guys go through with each important battle, this is gonna eat up a lot of time before Terra.

Thanks! Yea. I felt like Fern needed to be a bit more mean to her for some reason. Then again, I always seem to have him be a bit more mean than usual. And yea. I don't really know where or how to do completely-done-from-scratch edits so I thought you wouldn't mind if I borrowed 1 of your images and edited it. I swear I told you I did that but apparently I didn't. Lol. That actually took me a while though to edit the floor. Speaking of the Season 1 Theme Intro, Season 1 is almost completed. You got Episodes 9, 10 and then 11 will be the last 1 of Season 1. Then I'm prob gonna take a break from the story altogether. Might do a sneak preview of Season 2 Theem Intro though. So that's something to look forward to for everyone. Lol.

After getting her Pokemon healed she went back to where she had beaten Fern and entered those doors. Another room was there but it wasn’t the gym arena. It was just a small room. The door in front of Bonnie was blocked by a weird looking door. She tried pushing it but no matter what she tried, it didn’t budge. She was getting frustrated until she saw the same computer monitor from Julia’s Gym there. She went over and pressed the call button. Ame: Bonnie! Hi! 2nd Gym Battle huh? Bonnie: Yea. I’m excited too. I think this will be a challenging battle. Ame: Well you’re right to think that. If what I’m seeing is correct, you’re about to battle Florinia correct? Bonnie: Yep! Ame: Ok! So her fighting style is a little different from what you might expect from a Grass Leader. Her team is centered around sand. Bonnie: Wait. Sand? Sounds more like a Ground Type Leader than a Grass Type. Ame: Yea. I get that a lot from trainers. Heh. But hey. That’s her “desert rose” fighting style. Speaking of which, that means she’ll try to stall you out and take you down with residual sand damage and other status affects. Bonnie: Sounds tough but interesting. Ame: Ohh yes. She’s all about knowledge and strategy. So try something different from that to beat her. Maybe try to find a way to abuse the sand and get lucky? Or just power your way through it. You know. Kind of like brawn over brains if you will. Bonnie: I’m probably gonna have to power through it but that’s fine for me. Ame: Well good luck Bonnie! Bonnie: Wait wait. The door in front of me is locked. How do I get through it? Ame: That’s easy. A couple of rooms back, there should be a couple of computers with questions on them. Get all of the correct answers and it’ll unlock for you. Bonnie: Alright. Thanks Ame! The screen went black and Bonnie went to the computers to answer some of the questions. Some of them were true or false questions which were easy to answer but the others were difficult. She eventually had to go to some of the bookcases and read them to get the right answers. This took a really long time but she eventually was able to get the right answers and unlock the door. She returned back to the room but this time the door was open. She went through it and could see Florinia at the other side of the room. She went to go greet her but half way there, she noticed something. There were people in the room along with them. Bonnie: Umm… Who are they? Florinia: They are students that attend at the Onyx Trainer School. I allow them to watch my Gym Battles so they could study and learn about Pokemon and moves. Bonnie: Ohh. Well I guess that makes sense. Florinia: Please, take your place at the other side of the arena. Bonnie did as Florinia instructed and stood on the other square part of the arena. She didn’t know how to feel about basically having an audience watching her battle but she didn’t really have a choice in the matter. This was Florinia’s Gym and what she said goes. Florinia: Bonnie, your assistance in Meteor-related affairs is appreciated. However, that alone fails to merit the appropriation of a badge. Bonnie: Ohh trust me. I wouldn’t want a badge that way anyways. I wanna win it by battling and defeating you. Florinia: Indeed. That is how 1 must acquire all 18 badges. Bonnie: So are you ready for our battle? Florinia: -turns to the class- Audience, please take notes on standard battling procedure. This demonstration will commence. -looks back towards Bonnie- Subject displays insufficient data for conclusive success. Expected outcome: Failure. The battle started between the 2 girls. Out of all the battles Bonnie had ever since coming to Reborn, Florinia was the toughest she ever had faced. She almost lost the battle but pulled out a victory but only just barely. The students stood up and cheered and clapped their hands. Bonnie felt embarrassed but also liked the attention. Florinia walked over to Bonnie. Florinia: Challenger remains due to receive the Canopy Badge. -gives Bonnie the badge- Bonnie: Yes! My 2nd Badge! Thank you Florinia. That was a great battle. Florinia: Yes. Where do you intend to go now? Bonnie: I’m not too sure. I’m pretty sure it’s dark out right now so not going anywhere tonight. Florinia: You have permission to use any beds that are not accompanied to anyone in this facility. Bonnie: Thank you Florinia! That’s really nice of you. Florinia: I do have a final request for you however. Bonnie: Sure. What’s that? Florinia: Because of my status as Leader and faculty at this school, I cannot stray far from it right now. However, there still is a crisis in this city. As you no doubt know, the Jasper and Beryl Wards have been ransacked by the same machine as Obsidia. However, whereas we caught Obsidia in a budding state, we were not so fortunate with those wards. Bonnie: Ohh. It must be really bad at hose wards then. Florinia: Correct. Being that you alone have had the successful experience of terminating the previously active project, I ask you venture to the Jasper Ward? Bonnie: B-By myself? Florinia: Correct. Discover if there is not a similar plot behind the destruction there. Bonnie: Well… I suppose I can. Florinia: Also, there is the Poison Type Gym Leader up there. You may acquire your 3rd badge there. Bonnie: Ohh. Well I guess I should go now for that. Florinia: Then I will make preparation for your passage to Jasper. I might wish you good luck. However, luck is merely an illusory essentialization of statistics and is neither inherently good nor bad. Bonnie: Uhhh… Florinia: Regardless, good night. Class dismissed! Florinia and all the students exited the room. Bonnie stood there trying to understand what Florinia was trying to say. But she decided to just worry about the Jasper and Beryl Wards for tomorrow. She exited the room and looked for a bed that no 1 was using. She got ready for bed but before she went to sleep, she thought of her dad and Clemont. She missed them. So she got to a telephone and called her dad. Meyer: Hello? Bonnie: Hi daddy. Meyer: Bonnie! How are you doing? Bonnie: I’m good. I already won my 2nd badge. Meyer: Your 2nd badge in 3 days? You’re proving to be quite the trainer hun. Bonnie: -giggles- Thanks. But it’s been pretty crazy here basically from the start. The train I was on exploded and- Meyer: WHAT?! The train exploded?! Are you ok?! Bonnie: I’m fine. Although… me and Ame were the only ones to- Meyer: No. Bonnie, I told you this was too dangerous. Bonnie: Daddy, I’m fine. I was depressed about it too. But I’m alright. I’m helping Ame and the Gym Leaders with the problem anyways. Meyer: Bonnie dear, you should just focus on your journey. Not some crazy criminals that try to kill you. Or better yet, come home. Bonnie: I thought you said you trusted me! Meyer: I do sweetheart! I’m just… I’m worried about you. I don’t know what me or your brother would do if we lost you. Bonnie:… I’m sorry Dad. I didn’t mean to get you worried. Meyer: It’s alright. Just be careful out there ok? Bonnie: I will. I promise. Meyer: Well we should both get some sleep. Call back again sometime. Bonnie: Alright daddy. I will. Night. -clicks the button to shut it off- Pokemon Team REBORN CHARACTER RATES

The next day, Bonnie woke up feeling refreshed from her night of rest. She was excited because she was gonna be taking on Florinia for her Gym Badge. She got her stuff packed up and she went on her way to the Onyx Ward. According to her Pokegear, she had to go through the Obsidia Park and keep heading up north to get there. So she did just that. She headed for the Obsidia Park and then finally arrived in the Onyx Ward. Out of all the wards she had been too, this was the nicest looking 1. She looked all around the ward, battling trainers, getting her Pokemon even more stronger. She came to a big building with a sign out in front. Bonnie: “Onyx Trainer’s School, formerly the Pokemon Technical Institute-Reborn’s #1 Ivy League School.” This should be the place. She searched for an entrance. When she finally found 1, she went inside but was greeted by a rather unpleasant face. Fern: Bonnie. Bonnie: Ohh great. You’re here. What do you want from me this time? Fern: Let’s just say a little birdie told me you were coming here to challenge my sister. Bonnie: Well yea. She’s a Gym Leader. Fern: But here’s the thing Bonnie. I know you. You don’t deserve to challenge her. Bonnie: Please just shut up and move aside. Fern: -curls his hand into a fist- I said you don’t deserve to challenge her. See, you’re not good enough. And I’m not going to let you. Fern raised his fist into the air, threatening Bonnie. She took a step back. All she wanted to do was to challenge Florinia to a Gym Battle but now she had to deal with Fern. Fern looked back to the 2 people that were in back of him. Fern: Trey, go tell the other kids to not let Bonnie in. Skye, go hit the switch for the gate. The 2 did as they were instructed to do. Bonnie was feeling anger but didn’t want to risk getting into an altercation with Fern. If he was willing to push her down onto the ground, who knows what else he would do to a young girl. Fern backed up more into the room. A noise could be heard. Bonnie looked up and could see a steel grate was being lowered between her and Fern. Fern: Maybe you don’t understand why I’m doing this Bonnie. Bonnie: You’re right. I don’t. Fern: Don’t get me wrong. I’m in no way trying to stick up for the Flobot. But it’s a matter of our family and our school’s pride. And you’re not worthy. -walks into another room- Bonnie: Ugh! That Fern! He’s such a… such a… school bully! -sighs- I guess I have no choice but to go fight through the school to get to Florinia. She exited the door and went to the door she 1st saw that was by the sign. But as she was about to go in, a student stopped her. Male Student: Hey. Wait a minute. Bonnie: What? Male Student: You’re the 1they said to keep out huh? Bonnie: Just please leave me alone and let me go through. Male Student: Not a chance! I’m gonna beat you right here and now! The 2 sent out their Pokemon but Bonnie easily handled the Male Student. Out of embarrassment, he looked the other way and pretended he didn’t notice her. She entered the school and was amazed with how it looked in there. There was even a healing station there. As she searched for a way to get to Florinia, many students attempted to stop her from getting to her destination but no matter how many students tried, Bonnie was able to defeat each and every student that got in her way. Some of the teachers that saw Bonnie battle were impressed. It took a while but she eventually got to the area where Fern had blocked her from continuing. She went to the room on the left and came face to face with Fern. He was blocking the door to Florinia. Well that’s what Bonnie thought at least. Bonnie: Alright. I beat all your little cronies. Now let me through. Fern: Tch. Those dumbass kids can’t do anything right, can they? Bonnie: Why should they even listen to you anyways? Fern: Because they know what will happen if they don’t. Bonnie: Stop being the school bully! Fern: And what are you gonna do about it pipsqueak? Bonnie wanted to tell him off but again, she was afraid he would react aggressively, so she kept quiet. Fern felt satisfied with this. Fern: Exactly. You can’t do nothing. Bonnie: Just let me go through! Fern: Yea. How bout no? Listen Bonnie. Don’t take this personally but… you’re just a loser. Bonnie: But I’ve beaten you! Fern: As I have said, it was just a fluke. So really, by not letting you embarrass yourself in our Gym, I’m doing YOU a favor. Bonnie: I’d rather lose to her than not find out at all if I am a match for her. Fern: Typical. You won’t even thank me for trying to save you from embarrassment. But yo. It’s fine. I got ya. All you have to do is turn around, go home and give up. Bonnie: No! Fern:… Yea, I didn’t really think you’d be smart enough to listen to me. But hey. That’s fine. Have it your way man. Fern called out his Pokemon as did Bonnie. Round 2 of Bonnie VS Fern started. While Fern finally got some moves off on Bonnie this time, he still got beaten in record time. He recalled his Pokemon. Bonnie was happy but didn’t know what Fern was gonna do to her for beating him a 2nd time. Bonnie: N-Now just move out of the way and- Fern: You’re infuriating, really. I bet you think you’re SO cool, just because you’re doing the whole Gym League thing, huh? Bonnie: What? I never- Fern: No. You know what? 2 can play at this game Bonnie. If a 2nd rate Trainer like you can do it, then I won’t have any problem sweeping the Reborn League. I should thank you Bonnie. But I’m not going to. I’ve got things to do. Later loser! Fern exited the room. Bonnie was feeling so frustrated with Fern constantly belittling her and trying to get on her nerves. Bonnie: Stupid Fern. Always calling me a loser and pipsqueak. I always beat him though! Ugh! I just wanna- huh? Suddenly, her Flabebe popped out of its PokeBall. Bonnie was surprised by this as Flabebe had never done this before. It floated around her head all smiley and cheery. Bonnie figured it was just trying to cheer her up and truthfully, it was. Bonnie hugged the little flower Pokemon. When she let it go though, something started to happen to it. It started to glow. Bonnie stepped back as she witnessed it starting to change. Bonnie: Flabebe? Are you… Are you…? The light faded and Bonnie was now staring at her newly evolved Floette. It floated up to Bonnie and nuzzled her cheek. She hugged it. She was shocked that it evolved at that moment. Bonnie: Floette… Did you evolve just to make me feel better? Floette: -shaking its head yes- Floette Flo. Bonnie: Ohh! Thank you Floette! You’re a great friend. Floette: Floette! Bonnie took out Floette’s PokeBall and recalled it back. She forgot all about Fern’s teasing her and insulting her. She went back to the healing station within the school to heal up her Pokemon.

Bonnie ran upwards to the Obsidia Park as fast as she could. She was excited but also nervous what she might encounter next. In a matter of time, she met back up with Amaria and Florinia. By that time, it was evening and soon, it would be dark. Amaria: Hi Bonnie! Good to see you got here fast. Florinia: Yes. Greetings again. Bonnie: I’m glad I got here too. So what do we do? I can already tell that there’s a lot of plant life happening at this spot. She was right. There were vines and trees all over the streets coming up out of the ground. It was crazy. Amaria: Well there are trees blocking the way into the park but fortunately, they can be cut down. At that moment, Bonnie’s bag started to rumble. Bonnie was surprised and immediately threw it onto the ground. The 3 girls watched as some kind of metallic cube came out of her bag and floated out next to her. Nobody knew what was going on here. The cube then floated over to Bonnie and out popped a hologram message of some sort. Bonnie began to read it. Hologram Message: Hey Bonnie. I know this maybe surprising to you but I invented this device to help you in your adventure in Reborn. It’s called the Ultra Helper-O-Matic Cube. With this device, as long as you have the right badge requirements, you may use any of the HM moves yourself without having to rely on any of your Pokemon. So this can help with Cut, Strength, Rock Smash, Flash, Strength, Dive, Surf, Waterfall and Fly. All you have to do is say the word of the HM you would need and this device will turn into a hologramic item for you to use to help you continue on your adventure. Be careful Bonnie. I love you. Your brother, Clemont. The others looked at the device Clemont had made for his sister. They were intrigued to see if it really worked or not. Even Florinia seemed interested. Bonnie: Well I can’t say I’m surprised. My brother does have a knack for making inventions… Although, most of the time they don’t work. Well let’s give this a try. Cut! The cube spun in a circle in mid air and soon transformed into a hologramic axe. It slowly floated down to Bonnie and she clutched it in her hands. She looked at it in amazement. She walked over to the tree blocking there way. She swung it as hard as she could and cut it down. Everyone was amazed. The axe then transported back to the cube and floated back into Bonnie’s bag. Amaria: Wow… You don’t see that everyday. Florinia: That was indeed interesting. However, the entrance seems to be available to us now. Let us proceed. Amaria: Bonnie stay back here just in case alright? Bonnie: Alright. Bonnie didn’t really want to wait at the entrance in case something were to happen but she didn’t want to be rude to the Gym Leader so she listened. But only seconds after the 2 Gym Leaders entered, Bonnie started to hear screaming. It was mostly Amaria she could hear but from what she heard, it sounded like vines had somehow sniped her and Florinia up. Bonnie raced into the park to see what was going on.When she got there, she could see a big machine with a Tangrowth in it and a person mostly all in black, even his hair was black. When she looked to the elft and right, she could see Amaria and Florinia hovering in the air with vines holding them in place. They seemed to be chocking them. Bonnie: Wha… What are you doing to them?! ???: Ugh! I TOLD you there would get here too soon! If you had made this machine go faster… ???: No! Tangrowth wouldn’t be able to take anymore! ???: The speed has already been optimized. Be glad the Pokemon was able to capture those 2 girls. Bonnie was confused. This person was talking as if there were multiple people here with him. She looked over the park just to make sure but couldn’t see anyone but the person in front of her. ???: You’re really strong to be to do everything so well Tangrowth! ???: Hey! How much longer are we gonna ignore the other problem? Bonnie: Who are you talking to?! You’re the only 1 here! ???: Ohh hello. Umm, my name is Lumi and- ???: Wait. Only 3 of you entered? We expected more. 3 are easy to deal with. ???: Um, it might be more polite if we introduce ourselves. I’m- ???: You’ve already introduced yourself Lumi. Needlessly at that! I, however, am Zero. ???: And I am Eve. Collectively, we are referred to as ZEL. Bonnie was so confused. How could this person have 3 names but only 1 body? It wasn’t making any sense to her. But that soon left her mind. She was more concerned about the safety of Amaria and Florinia. Bonnie: Look, I don’t know what’s wrong with you but just let them go and take your machine and get out of here! Zel: We will not let you touch the PULSE! Bonnie: The PULSE? zEl: Yes. That is what this machine is called. zeL: You all came here to stop it right? Bonnie: Yes. Is this the cause of all these plants coming up out of the streets of Obsidia? zEl: Correct. And I also built this myself. The Link System is a simple hybridization-amplification mechanic. Bonnie: I don’t know what that means but it doesn’t sound good. Zel: Not good for you but for us, it’s great! With that machine behind it, it can manipulate even the smallest root into a massive arbor wrecking ball! Bonnie: -takes out 1 of her PokeBalls- Then it looks like the only way to stop this is to take it out! Zel: You think you can stop it? Try it! The battle started. Bonnie sent out her Pokemon. ZEL took out a remote and pressed a button. The Tangrowth started to mutate and when it was finished, it looked scarier than ever to her. Some of its vines were longer and its arms seemed mechanical. Bonnie was horrified at the sight of this thing. Bonnie: What did you do to that Tangrowth?! zEl: Think of it as… Mega Evolution. Zel: Yea except we can pretty much do it to any Pokemon we want. Good luck trying to take us down. The battle was indeed a tough 1. This was the toughest battle Bonnie had been in since being in Reborn. But despite how powerful the Tangrowth was, Bonnie was able to defeat it. The person referred to as ZEL seemed highly upset about it. zEl: Zera, next time, rather then showing off the mission’s keystone, let’s fight with our own Pokemon. zeL: I’m sorry Tangrowth… I should have intervened. Zel: Stop yelling at me Eve! You said this machine was supposed to make it stronger! zEl: Your misjudgment was the key factor. Regardless, with Tangrowth incapacitated, the malignant growth will now regress. zeL: So it’s all going to go back to normal? zEl: Yes. There’s no point remaining here any longer. Recover the model and escape at once. Bonnie: Get out of here and never do this again! ZEL looked over at Bonnie with a menacing look. Bonnie regreted saying what she said but she was in the heat of the moment. Zel: Bonnie right? Don’t think this is over. You’ll get what’s coming to you soon enough. ZEL took the machine and exited the area. All the plants that were in the park sunk back into the ground. Everything there was back to normal. Amaria and Florinia were freed from there entrapment. They were both gasping for air. Bonnie: Are you 2 ok? Amaria: -coughs- Y-Yea. Those vines were… choking us the whole time. -coughs again- They snatched us up as soon as we entered. -coughs- But you were a natural Bonnie. You defeated that thing. Bonnie: Well I had to do something. They were hurting you 2. Florinia: Presumably that person, if they can be referred to as a single subject, was an operator of Team Meteor. Bonnie: Yea. Why were they talking as if there were 3 people though? Amaria: I’m not sure but that was bizarre. Florinia: Nevertheless, I project that our observances do not compose the entirety of their assault. Amaria: I think so too! A lot fo bad things have been happening lately. The Jasper and Beryl Wards, Azurine Lake, Grandview Station and now this… Bonnie: The Jasper and Beryl Wards? What happened to them? Amaria: Same thing as here except… worse. Bonnie: Ohh… I’m sorry. Amaria: It’s not your fault Bonnie. But that Team Meteor. I never thought they would be this big of a threat. Florinia: I think the best course of action to take at this time is for Amaria to report what has conspired her to Ame and for me to go return to the Onyx Trainer School. Amaria: Yea. Sounds like a good idea. Well it was nice meeting you Bonnie! Thanks for your help! We really couldn’t have done it without you! Bye you 2! -leaves the area- Bonnie: So what do we do? It’s starting to get dark. Florinia: As I have stated earlier, I will be returning to the Onyx Trainer School where I will be attending my Gym. You should try to find a place to rest for the night. Bonnie: Yea. That’s probably the best idea. Florinia: However, I would ask you for a favor. Bonnie: What’s that? Florinia: I have been getting reports that the Daycare Couple that resides in the Obsidia Ward has been acting out of the ordinary. I would like you to go there and inspect on their weird behavior. Bonnie: Alright. I can do that for you. Florinia: Very well. Tomorrow, we will have our Gym Battle. Good night. Florinia left the park and went to her Gym. Bonnie went in search of the day care couple and eventually found them. But every time she tried to talk to them, they tried getting her to leave. She was getting frustrated with them. Bonnie: I’m not leaving til I know that you 2 are ok! Day Care Man: Gah! She won’t listen. Day Care Woman: I guess we have no choice then. Bonnie: What are you 2 talking about? Day Care Woman: This is an attack. Day Care Man: So brace for impact. Day Care Woman?: To eliminate this infestation! Day Care Man?: To restore the art of God’s own nation! Bonnie: Wait. Why does this sound familiar? Day Care Woman?: To break apart the world above! Day Care Man?: To find what lies beneath truth and love! Bonnie: Ohh yea. It’s the motto again. Day Care Couple?: Team Meteor! Not The Day Care Woman: Resonating with eternal light! Not The Day Care Man: Run away now, don’t try to fight! Definitely Not The Day Care Couple: For justice! That’s right! The battle started but having already beaten 1 of Meteors strongest members, this was an easy battle for Bonnie. The 2 Meteor Grunts were stunned that this little girl was that powerful. Male Meteor Grunt: Ugh! I remember you from back at the factory. Why must you always interfere with out business?! Bonnie: Because you’re bad guys and need to be stopped! Now where are the real Day Care Couple?! Female Meteor Grunt: Ha! You’ll never find out! Let’s retreat! Before Bonnie could do anything, the 2 Meteor Grunts ran out of the house. Bonnie searched the house but couldn’t find anything. She decided to search the area for any clues. She came across a small building and went inside. She found a small key on the floor. There was something engraved on the key. It said “Coral Ward.” She remembered there being sheds locked so she went back there and tried the key on all the locked sheds. The last 1 worked and she opened the entrance. When she walked in, she could see an old couple inside. Real Day Care Man: You’re not with Team Meteor are you? Real Day Care Woman: Hun, don’t be silly. She’s too young. Bonnie: I beat the Team Meteor Grunts that were pretending to be you and then went searching for you both. Are you ok? Day Care Woman: We’re fine. They told us they would steal other trainer’s Pokemon. Day Care Man: I do hope they didn’t get much. Bonnie: Well don’t worry. I’m sure the Pokemon will be returned to their trainers. Day Care Man: I hope so. Day Care Woman: Thank you for saving us. We’re gonna go back home now. Come by anytime dear! Good bye! The Day Care Couple exited the shed to go to their home. Bonnie was happy she could help but she was starting to get tired. She remembered a building near where she battled Victoria before she went into the slums. She went to that building and asked the receptionist if she could stay the night there. Although Bonnie wasn’t allowed to go into the apartments, she allowed Bonnie to sleep on the couch. She got Bonnie a pillow and blanket. She went over to the couch and got everything ready. Dedenne hopped on top of the blanket she was covering herself with and they both soundly went to sleep.

I'll be honest. I didn't know Eclipse was a woman until like a few months ago. (It was actually during the Penta-Op I found out. LOL!) And I've been playing this game for like... 6 years?

Bonnie ran over to the stairway near the Grand Hall. When she got up the stairs, she could see Florinia next to some cops that were blocking the way. Bonnie: Hey Florinia. What are you doing here? I thought you left for Obsidia Ward last night. Florinia: Greetings Bonnie. I was going to but with the time of the hour, I found it acceptable to stay in the Grand Hall for the night. I am now though going to go back into the Obsidia Ward. It remains in a volatile condition. My attendance is mandatory. Bonnie: I know. 1 of my friends told me what was going on. Is there anyway I can help? Florinia: Negative. Farewell. Bonnie was upset. She wanted to go in and help Obsidia Ward deal with whatever it was that was going on there. 1 of the cops moved but as Florinia went to go to her ward, she stopped for a moment. Neither Bonnie nor the 2 policemen knew what she was doing? Policeman #1: Uhh… Miss Florinia? Florinia: Reconsidering… -turns around towards Bonnie- Bonnie you know of the situation that is going on in Obsidia, correct? Bonnie: All I know is that plants somehow are coming to life and attacking people. Florinia: Correct. In this situation, given the previous assistance at the factory, an exception maybe possible for you to enter this ward. Ordinary citizens are not permitted to come in here yet until the problem is dealt with. Officer, this person may be able to assist the present situation in Obsidia. Is passage permissable? Policeman #2: Sure thing Miss Florinia. Florinia: Excellent. You are free to move wherever you please to Bonnie. The target area has been narrowed down to the Obsidia Park, where it seems to be hosting the majority of floral species in the ward. Once there, wait for further instructions. Farewell. Bonnie: Uhh… Ok! Florinia walked ahead to go to the Obsidia Park. Bonnie didn’t quite understand everything Florinia had said but knew that she had to get to that park right away. But she decided to take a look around the ward. Lot of places were there. A salon, a PokeBall store and even a candy store. Bonnie couldn’t help but to be at that store for a little bit. When she exited though, she could see a huge crack right in the middle of the rode. She went closer to it and looked through it. She couldn’t see the bottom. This freaked her out a bit so she decided to step away from it. Since she couldn’t go anywhere else but south, she decided to go that way. As she continued though, she saw a familiar face. Victoria: Bonnie! Bonnie: Victoria! What are you doing here? I thought you were gonna try to help with this whole plant thing? Victoria: I was but I’m not sure what to do. Bonnie: What do you mean? Victoria: Well thanks to the plants, the main road is blocked off which means the only way to get to the other side is to go through the slums. Bonnie: Slums? Sounds like an icky place. Victoria: And dangerous. All these men kept trying to attack me and some of the debris in there were moving! Bonnie: Debris? Moving? Are you sure about that? Victoria: Very sure! Bonnie: Well despite how odd that sounds, I can’t just stay here. I have to get to the other side. Victoria: But Bonnie… So you intend to go through the slums then? Bonnie: I have to. Victoria: Then battle me. Bonnie: Huh? Victoria: Battle me. If you can’t beat me, there’s no reason for you to even attempt to go through the slums. Bonnie: Well… Fine. Here’s our rematch! The 2 battled but just like their last battle, Victoria didn’t last long. She got defeated in about a minute. The 2 returned their Pokemon back to their PokeBalls. Victoria looked at Bonnie with a worried look on her face but she smiled. She didn’t have a choice but to let her through. Victoria: Just… Be careful alright? Bonnie: I will. Don’t worry Victoria. Victoria: Good. I’ll see you later then. Victoria headed back up. Bonnie watched as she disappeared from her vision. She felt bad for her but knew she had to keep on going. She went further down and then searched for the entrance for the slums. She found it and went in. It was certainly a weird and grimy place. As soon as she walked in more, she had many people demanding for battles. She didn’t mind the battles but the way they demanded it had her a little scared. As she went to the next area, a guy ran up to her in a frantic motion and started screaming at her. Man: Gah! Box! Why you do this to me?! Bonnie: Ahh! W-What are you talking about?! Man: The box! The box did this to me! She quickly sent out her Pokemon as did he but she quickly defeated him. She ran further ahead away from the weird man. Why was he talking about a box doing something to him? Just as she was thinking that, she saw a box on the ground ahead of her start moving forward. She stopped as she watched. It went to the other side of the room and then disappeared. She was starting to think that maybe she was going a little crazy from everything that had happened to her so far. As she continued to the next room, she again encountered another box that had moved on its own. This time, it freaked Bonnie out so she ran upstairs to the outside. She looked behind her to make sure it wasn’t somehow following her. She opened the door to get back inside the other part of the slums and just like last time, she had these strange men demanding her for Pokemon battles. Luckily for her, she was able to beat them all. As she continued through, she encountered a 3rd box but this 1 wasn’t moving. She carefully went over to it and was just about to lift it up when it shot across the room and into the next room. Bonnie jumped back from the surprise. She was afraid whatever was in the box would be in the next room. It took a while for her to grow courage but she eventually went in. She saw the box but now it was upright. She peered in but saw nothing nor did she see anything in the room. Then from out of nowhere, another weird man approached her. Bonnie: H-Hey! What do you want?! Man: That box… Did it just give birth to a Pokemon? Bonnie: Did the box just give… What?! Man: That was some crazy stuff I saw. Bonnie: Do you know where the Pokemon went. Man: Yea… Down there. Bonnie: Alright. Good… Bye. She quickly ran down the stairs to get away from the weird guy. She cautiously went through the area making sure there wasn’t gonna be a surprise attack from anywhere. Luckily, there wasn’t. She was starting to get tired of the slums though and just wanted to get out of there. When she went into the next room, she was surprised to see a Scrafty and Scraggy. There were 2 boxes next to them. They lifted up and it turned out to be 2 more Scraggys. The Scrafty turned around and looked at Bonnie. Bonnie: Why were you all in the boxes? You’re scaring people in here. Scrafty: Scr… Scr-afty! Bonnie: Huh!? The Pokemon Gang got into an attacking stance. Bonnie knew she had to fight to get through so she sent her Pokemon out. It was a tough battle but eventually, Bonnie came out on top. The 3 Scraggys scurried out of the room. The Scrafty opened up the steel grate that was blocking the next area. It looked back at Bonnie and then left. Bonnie hurried through and was back outside in the Obsidia Ward. She was so grateful to be out of the slums. She took out her Pokegear and looked at where she was and how far Obsidia Park was. Luckily, it was just right up the road but when she went to go there, 2 policemen stopped her. Policeman #1: Sorry little girl but due to the situation, we cannot permit anyone to let me in. Bonnie: What!? But Florinia- Policeman #2: You’re not getting through! End of discussion! Bonnie was super upset about this. How would she get to the park now? She took out her Pokegear once again and searched for places she could go to possibly sneak pass there. She saw that south of where she was was another ward called the Coral Ward. She went down there. When she got there, she could see it was really foggy. She looked all around the place but couldn’t find a way to get passed the policemen. She decided she’d go onto the docks and think of her next move. When she got there though, she saw a woman standing looking out at the water. As she got closer to this woman, she could see that her hair was a really light green-blueish color and was wearing blue clothing. The woman turned and noticed Bonnie. ???: Ohh hello there! Bonnie: Hi. ???: Sorry but could you hold on a moment? Bonnie: Why? ???: -pointing to the lighthouse dock- See that Popplio? It’s trapped over there and I need to get it to safety. Bonnie: But can’t it just swim over? ???: The water is so polluted, it would hurt it. Bonnie: Ohh. That is bad. Well what can we do to help it? ???: I’m not sure. That’s what I’ve been trying to figure out. ???: Bonnie? Is that you?! Hey girl! Bonnie and the woman looked to where they heard the voice from. It was Cain. Bonnie got super excited, ran over and hugged him. Even though it was only a day, she really missed him. Bonnie: I didn’t think I’d see you for a while yet but I’m glad to see you so soon. Cain: Me too. So what are you and Amaria doing? Bonnie: Amaria? Amaria: Ahh yea. I was so worried about that Popplio, I never introduced myself. Yes. My name is Amaria. I’m the Water Gym Leader as well. Bonnie: Well my name’s Bonnie. Nice to meet you. Amaria: Same to you. But we still have the problem of how to save that Popplio. Cain: Is it stuck there? Amaria: Yes and we can’t save it. Any water type that touches the water will be hurt. There’s no way to save it. Cain: Hmm… Nah. Bonnie: Nah? What do you mean? Cain: Don’t worry. I got this. Come on out Grimer.~ Out popped a Grimer but it looked different. It looked like it had mustard all over it’s mouth and it was green instead of purple. Bonnie was confused by it. Bonnie: What happened to your Grimer Cain? Cain: Huh? Nothing. Why? Bonnie: It looks weird. Grimer are supposed to be purple. Cain: Wait. Have you never seen an Alolan form of a Pokemon? Bonnie: Nu-uh. Amaria: Do you know the Alola Region? Bonnie: Well I’ve heard of the region but I’ve never seen 1. Come to think of it, Julia’s Geodude was a bit weird looking too. Cain: Well Alolan form Pokemon are Pokemon but with different typing and look different. This Grimer is Poison and Dark type as an Alolan Geodude is a Rock/Electric type. Bonnie: Ohh. Ok. I see. That’s cool! I hope I can catch an Alolan Pokemon! Cain: Well I’m sure you will. But hey. Let’s save that Popplio. Ready Grimer? Grimer: Grimer! As the Grimer hopped into the polluted water, Cain began to sing. Amaria was confused as to why he was singing but Bonnie was totally into it. She even joined it. Grimer made it to the lighthouse port Popplio was on. Cain: Alright Popplio.~ Hope on Grimer and it’ll take you back over here. The Popplio carefully hopped onto Grimers back. It hopped back in the water and surfed back over to the other side. Popplio hopped off onto the dock and Grimer hopped back up onto the dock as well. Amaria was impressed. Amaria: Oh my god! Cain, that was fantastic! Cain: -chuckles- Yeeeaaa. I get that a lot. Usually from boys though. Bonnie: Why boys Cain? Cain: Uhh… It’s because… Well nevermind that. I’m just happy Popplio is safe and sound. Return Grimer! Bonnie: I’m so glad it’s safe. Cain: Well now that it isn’t in danger anymore, I’m gonna leave. Later.~ As Cain started to walk away, Popplio hopped along after him. He stopped turned around and looked at the little Pokemon. It seemed to be really happy with Cain. Bonnie: Aww! Popplio likes you Cain! Amaria: I think it wants to go with you. Cain: Wellll it is cute. Do you wanna come with me Popplio? Popplio: -shakes its head yes- Popplio! Amaria: I think that’s a “Yes please.” Cain: -chuckles- Ahh alright.~ I’ll keep you safe from now on little buddy. Popplio ran up to Cain and nuzzled Cain’s leg as Cain knelt down to pet its head. Then, it looked over at Bonnie and had a determined look on its face. Bonnie: Hey. Why is Popplio looking at me like that? Amaria: Hmm… I don’t think it wants to be protected anymore. I think it wants to protect you now. Right Popplio? Popplio: Lio! Amaria: Gotta take care of your trainer as well. -chuckles- Bonnie: Ohh. So it wants to battle? Ohh! I know! Cain, why don’t we have a rematch. I’d love to be this little guys 1st opponent. Cain: I suppose I could do that. Alright. It’s battle time.~ The battle with Cain was a little bit harder than last time but nonetheless, Bonnie still came out victorious. Amaria seemed shocked about this. Amaria: Ohh! I wasn’t expecting Popplio being on the losing side! Cain: Well Bonnie might be young but she’s full of surprises. Bonnie: -chuckles- Thanks Cain. That was a fun battle. Cain: It was. But hey. I gotta get back to the Wasteland. Bonnie: The Wasteland? Amaria: I think he means the Byxbysion Wasteland. It’s a really toxic area. Wait. Why are you going there? Cain: If I don’t handle a certain something out there and fast, I’ll never live it down. Bonnie: Ohh. Well ok. Later Cain. I look forward to our next battle too! Cain: Me too Bonnie! Bye you guys! -leaves the area- Amaria: Well that’s a relief. I’m sure those 2 will be a great match. Bonnie: Any Pokemon would be lucky to have him as his trainer. Amaria: I just hope the rest of the Pokemon aren’t suffering. With the lake how it is now… I have to make sure I do my best to make sure that I can save as many of them as possible. Bonnie: You really care about Water Types don’t you? Amaria: Well of course. I’m a Water Type Pokemon Trainer after all. Bonnie: Ahh. That makes sense. Amaria: Ohh! I forgot about Florinia! I should get back to the Obsidia Ward! Bonnie: Ohh yea! Me too! Amaria: Wait. Do you know Rini? Bonnie: Yea. She said I could help out with the whole plants coming to life trouble that’s going on there. Amaria: Really? That’s good! Alright. Go heal your Pokemon and meet us up at Obsidia Park. We’ll take care of it together. Bonnie: Alright. Sounds like a plan! Amaria left the dock and headed towards the Obsidia Park. Bonnie went to the PokeCenter to heal her Pokemon. She was nervous as to what might happen next but she knew she needed to help Florinia and Amaria. As soon as her Pokemon were healed, she exited the PokeCenter and went to Obsidia Park.

So for everyone reading this (hoping you're all enjoying this btw), whether you remember or not, I'll remind you all again. The Pokemon Bonnie is using won't evolve on their regular levels. So just for fun, who do you all think will evolve 1st?

Thanks! I literally came up with the idea as soon as the battle started. Lol.

Not like it matters but isn't she 12? Lol.

Bonnie and Dedenne woke up the next day. They had an amazing sleep. She was eager to train a little bit before her gym battle with Julia. So she got dressed, put all her stuff away in her bag and then headed out of the house. The woman again thanked her for what she did for her last night. She had her Pokemon battle some Pokemon in some of the alleyways around the ward. After about an hour of training, Bonnie went to the PokeCenter to heal her Pokemon. As she waited though, she thought of something. It was what Fern said to her yesterday about her Dedenne. Even though it basically outlasted Fern’s Pokemon in the last double battle against Aster & Eclipse, it bothered her. So she came up with a plan and told her little mouse Pokemon when it was done healing. She exited the PokeCenter and walked up to Julia’s Gym place. She stood in front of the building in anticipation for whatever was going to go down in there. Dedenne nuzzled her leg. Bonnie: -chuckles- You nervous too huh buddy? Dedenne: Dedenne. Bonnie: Well hopefully everything will work out in our favor. This will be our 1st Gym Battle ever. You ready to go inside? Dedenne: -nodding yes in agreement- Dedenne! Bonnie turned around and walked into the building. It looked quite interesting in there but then again, it was Julia’s Gym. So there was no telling what would be seen in there. As she looked around, she noticed a computer monitor. She walked over to it and examined the screen. She saw a command that said “Call Grand Hall.” Curious as to what the purpose of this was, she clicked on the option. In a matter of seconds, Ame’s face popped up on the screen. Ame: Bonnie? Is that you? Bonnie: Yea. It is. Ame: It’s good to hear from you! I heard you helped with the Team Meteor business from Florinia last night. Thank you for that. Bonnie: It’s no problem. But what exactly is this? Ame: Hmm? Ohh. You mean the computer monitor that’s there and us talking. Well 1st off, it seems you’ve made it to the Gym, which is a good thing. These are at every Gym location. You call me to get info on the Gym Leader and the field they use and all of that. Bonnie: Info on them? But isn’t that cheating? Ame: I mean if you wanna look at it that way. The Gym Leaders don’t seem to mind much. Bonnie: Well… if they’re ok with it, then I suppose it’s fine. Ame: Great! So you’re at Julia’s Gym right? Bonnie: Mhm. Ame: Ohh yea. Before I get into that, I forget if I told you this or not but every Gym Leader has a full team of Pokemon. Which means it’ll be tougher than all the other regions you heard of. Bonnie: Does sound tough but also exciting. Ame: They also have their own special field for tactical advantages. Bonnie: Special field? Ame: Yep. But even though it benefits them, it could benefit you as well. Bonnie: Hmm. That’s interesting to know. Ame: Getting back on track here, Julia uses an Electric Field which will make all of her same-type attacks even stronger. And if she’s able to get an explosion off, it’ll add a bit more damage. Try finding something to tank Electric Type attacks. Or maybe you can try to fight fire with fire. Good luck! Bonnie: Ok. Thanks Ame! -presses the end call button- I think I’m gonna play electric with electric. Bonnie was even more excited going forward to challenge other gyms now. She looked down at Dedenne and they both smiled at each other. She started to try to solve the puzzle of Julia’s Gym. A steel grate in front of her prevented her from advancing. She went to the side and battled a trainer that was in there. She then saw a Voltorb at the end of the room. She was confused as to why it was there. When she went back though, it followed her and went up to the steel grate. It started to glow. Bonnie jumped backwards as it exploded, making a massive hole in the steel grate. Bonnie: Of course this is Julia’s Gym puzzle. -sigh- Ohh well. It fits her. Bonnie repeated this process a couple more times until she came to the end of the room. She entered to the next room and was surprised to see such an open space. The floor was lighting up and there were banners on the ceiling that said KA-BOOM! Bonnie noticed Julia as did Julia notice her. Bonnie: Hey Julia. I’m here for my Gym Battle. Julia: Yay! Hi Bonnie! Welcome to the Super-Duper Ultra-Hyper Electro-Dazzle Happy Boom-Time House of Cheer! Bonnie: The… Nevermind. Julia: Ignore all the superlame machinery junk. I need to get more banners and streamers and… and… FIREWORKS! Bonnie: Fireworks for inside your Gym? Julia: Yep! Wait… Isn’t that a safety hazard? Bonnie: Yes it is. Julia: Ohh… Ohh well. Who cares?! Just because you helped us out yesterday doesn’t mean I’m gonna go easy on you! I have pride to uphold! Bonnie: Can I talk to you about that really quick? Julia: But I wanna battle! Possibly with explosions! Bonnie: It’ll be quick. Julia: Fiiiine. Bonnie: Look. Fern said something about my Dedenne yesterday and it’s been bugging me ever since. I know he’s not here for me to show him that Dedenne is strong but… I want you to have it be a 1 on 6 battle. Julia:… I’m sorry. What? Bonnie: Yea! You get to use all of your Pokemon and I can only use Dedenne here! Julia: Are you sure about that? Bonnie: Yes. I know Reborn Gym Leaders are supposed to be harder than the other region’s Gym Leader’s but I need to do this just to prove to him and myself that Dedenne is strong! Julia: Well… if that’s what you want, you got it! OTS, we represent! We pack a punch and don’t relent! Bonnie: Uhh… Were you a cheerleader sometime in the past? Julia: Yes! I’m wired so let’s fight! With Bonnie’s strange request to have it a 1 on 6 battle, the match started. When the battle was over, Julia was shocked. Well kind of. It looked like she had just gotten calmed down from a sugar rush. Bonnie was ecstatic that she had won her 1st Gym Badge with just 1 Pokemon. Bonnie: Oh my god! I did it! Dedenne, you were great! Dedenne: -tired- Dedenne. Julia: Well that was shocking. Mrrrr… Bonnie: You ok Julia? Julia: I’mma go take a power nap. Bonnie: Julia! Julia: What? Ohh right. Your badge. Here. -hands the Volt Badge over to Bonnie- That’s the… the… whatchamacallit badge. -yawns- I need coffee. Or sleep. I’mma sleep. Night Bonnie. See you some other time. With explosives hopefully. Bonnie: -chuckles- Alright. Bye Julia. Bonnie watched as Julia literally laid down on the floor of her gym and fell asleep. Bonnie didn’t find this strange since she was sort of used to Julia’s weird antics. She walked out of the building looking at her new badge. She was so distracted looking at her badge though that she didn’t notice the person in front of her and bumped into them. Bonnie: Ohh. I’m sorry. I just won my 1st badge and I couldn’t stop looking at it. ???: It’s ok. -turns around- Ohh hey! Bonnie right? Bonnie: Yea. And you’re Victoria? Victoria: Yea. Hey. I see you’ve been doing good. Nice job getting the badge. Bonnie: Thanks. So are you gonna take on the Gym now? Victoria: I was going to but something came up. Bonnie: Probably good thing. She’s sleeping right now. -chuckles- Victoria: Well this ain’t funny. I just heard something weird is happening in the Obsidia Ward. Bonnie: The Obsidia Ward? Hmm. -takes out her Pokegear and looks for where it’s at- Ohh! That’s right next to the Grand Hall. Victoria: Yea. It’s pretty close. Bonnie: Well what’s going on there? Victoria: Plants are coming to life and attacking people. Bonnie: Plants coming to life? That’s crazy! Victoria: And as soon as I heard that, I knew I had to go over there and see if I can help! I’d love to stay and talk more but I need to hurry! See you later Bonnie! Bonnie: Bye Victoria! Good luck! Victoria ran towards the Obsidia Ward. Bonnie went to the PokeCenter to heal her Dedenne. She was thinking about everything that had happened since she came to Reborn so far. Now that she knew that there was trouble in Obsidia, she couldn’t just sit there and not help. She decided she’d go and see if she could help in any way possible. Pokemon Team REBORN CHARACTER RATES

By the time the 2 girls had gotten to their destination, it was starting to turn dark. Julia had taken them to some kind of factory. Bonnie: What is this place? Julia: This is Mosswater Factory. Bonnie looked at the factory. It looked old and ragged but then again, so did the whole city. Julia went over to the entrance and tried to get through but the door wouldn’t budge. Bonnie: Great. So how do we get in now? Julia: Don’t worry. I came prepared. -pulls out a dynamite stick from her jacket- Bonnie: Is that a stick of dynamite!? Julia: Yes it is. Bonnie: Why would you ever thing to bring something like that?! Julia: To make things go boom of course. Bonnie:… -sighs- Well I suppose it will help in this situation. Alright. Use it. Julia: Yay! This is gonna be so fun! Julia walked back over to the entrance, lit the dynamite, set it on the ground and got away. In a few seconds, a huge blast occurred. Bonnie had closed her eyes since she was scared. When everything settled, Bonnie opened her eyes and noticed that a huge hole was created in the entrance. Bonnie: Well at least we can get in now. Julia: -chuckles- That was awesome! Can we boom it again?! Bonnie: Not now. Julia: Darn. Hmm? -looks behind Bonnie- Well would you look at that. Make things go boom and acquire friends. Bonnie turned around but who she saw made her stomach turn. It was Fern. The bully who had berated Bonnie earlier. She did not want to ever see him again. The person next to him looked eerily similar to him except that this person clearly was a girl. Bonnie: No! Why is HE here?! Fern: Pfft. Fuck you too. Julia: Ahh. You’ve already met Fern huh? Bonnie: Yes and it wasn’t pleasant! Fern: You’re just a pipsqueak. Bonnie: You pushed me to the ground. Julia: Ohh boy. Anyways, Bonnie, this is Florina. Back in our school days she was my roommate and BFF.~ Bonnie: Hi Florinia. Florinia: Greetings. I’m afraid that time wastes. Let us proceed. Bonnie: I agree. The quicker we get this over with, the quicker he can get away from me. Fern: Trust me. I feel the same way. Julia: Come you 2! Focusies! We have bad guys to boom! This building is apparently their base. The guy who bombed Grandview Station is with this group called Team Meteor. Bonnie: Team Meteor? Julia: I know! Totally a weird name right?! Fern: Whatever. Who cares what their name is. Let’s just go inside already. Julia: Right! We can’t let them boom anything else! Let’s boom their faces off! CHARGE! The 4 of them walked into the building but as soon as all of them stepped foot into the place, they could smell something awful in it. Fern: Ugh. This smells like- Julia: Terribadtastic! Bonnie looked over the railing that protected anyone from just walking into the water. It looked putrid. It looked even worse than the water outside. This water had a maroon color to it. Bonnie: That doesn’t look good. Florinia: The wine hue indicates high levels of pollutants. Estimated toxicity: 90+%. Bonnie: Is that why the lake is so polluted? Julia: Yea. I can’t believe all of this is being dumped right into Azurine Lake! Fern: Blah blah blah. Enough with the hippie environmental bull. Let’s just get going. Bonnie: Do you always have to be so mean? Fern: Do you always have to be this weak? Bonnie: I beat you in our battle! Fern: I told you it was a fluke! Nothing else! Florinia: You must stop this bickering or nothing will be accomplished. Julia: Yea! We have to stop Team Meteor from polluting the lake anymore! They clearly don’t care about the well-being of the city! Bonnie: Alright. I’m sorry. Fern: Like I said, weak. Florinia: 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 part. Fern: And what does that mean in English? Julia: She said we should split up. Duh! Bonnie: Ok. So who goes with- Julia: -talks really fast- I’m going with Florinia! Don’t let Fern get on your nerves anymore than he already has! Bonnie: Wait! Wha- Before Bonnie could finish her sentence, Julia ran full speed to the right side of the room and through the door. Bonnie was upset. She did not want to team up with Fern. Bonnie tried pleading with Florinia to go with Fern instead but she could tell that it was getting no where so she stopped. Florinia: Proceed with caution. Fern: I always do sis. Florinia: You were not the intended recipient of my previous statement. Permission for you to be life-endangeringly reckless: Granted. Florinia went to the ride side of the room too. Bonnie couldn’t help but utter a laugh hearing Florinia say that to Fern. But the giggles didn’t last long as Fern shot her a pissed off look. She stopped laughing and looked down at the ground. She was frustrated that she had to team up with Fern. Fern: You think I like this any better? Bonnie: I don’t really care if you do or not. Fern: Alright pipsqueak. Let’s just get a move on or I’ll do something worse than just push you to the ground. Bonnie really didn’t want to have another altercation with Fern. So she and Fern proceeded to go to the left side of the building. The 2 didn’t say a word to each other. Pretty soon, the 2 saw some people dressed all in black clothing. The people saw them both and engaged them in battle. It didn’t last long though and the 2 black clothed people ran further into the factory. Bonnie and Fern battled more people like this. Even though this was somewhat dangerous, Bonnie was happy her Pokemon were battling and getting stronger. At last, the 2 came to a room where Julia and Florinia were. Julia: Hi you 2! Did you guys do good? Fern: Sure. Bonnie: Mhm. Florinia: Meteor Headquarters confirmed beyond this gate. Bonnie: It kind of looks like the entrance to this place. Julia: You’re right! Bonnie: So isn’t it time to blow it up? Julia: I would but I used the last of my boom sticks to get in here. Fern: Well now what? We just sit here and do nothing? Julia: If they’re planning to do demolitions, they might have explosives in here somewhere. Florinia: Hmm… -walks over to a computer panel- That is not necessary. This facility’s digital security system appears substandard. A brute force attack should be sufficient. Please hold. Bonnie: Brute force? Julia: We can’t punch our way in silly! Why don’t you 2 go look for some more boomies? There weren’t any the way we came. If you do, we’ll be in there in no time! Florinia: Why is combustion your solution to any obstacle? Julia: Uhh… Fun for the whole family? Florinia: Indeed. Bonnie: -chuckles- It kind of is fun making things blow up. But as long as its safe… or used for good. Fern: Whatever. Man. You all talk too much. We can’t just sit here and wait for the Flobot to hack the system. Let’s get the crazy lady her bombs. Julia: Yay! Fern says something I agree with! Now quick! To the boom mobile! Bonnie and Fern went to the room below and started to look for any kind of explosives. They ran into a couple more Team Meteor Grunts but were able to fend them off quite easily. When they beat the last of the grunts, they found some explosives. Fern picked them up and brought them all the way out to where Julia and Florinia were. Julia got very excited when she saw the bombs. She set them up by the door but as soon as she was about to blow up the door, they shot up into the ceiling. The 3 seemed confused until Florinia spoke. Florinia: Access granted. Let us proceed. -goes to the room above- Julia: Wait. What about… The booms. There was gonna be a big KA-BOOM! And you can’t do that. You just- Rini! -goes to the room above- Fern: Tch. Leave it to my sister to ruin everyone’s fun. Bonnie: Let’s just get this over with. The 2 followed and entered the room above. When they got there, they could see 2 more Meteor Grunts and what seemed to be their leader. The leader had some kind of eye patch thing on and wearing weird black clothing. The sight of this man frightened Bonnie but knowing that Julia and Florinia were there helped her muster up the courage to walk up closer. Julia: You! Are you the 1 in charge here? ???: And if I am? Julia: We’re gonna blow your face off for what you did to Grandview Station! ???: -chuckles evilly- Amusing. Tell me, what power do you think you have to do so? Bonnie: W-Well… she’s a Gym Leader. ???: Whatever title she holds means nothing to us. Julia: Just who do you think you are anyways?! ???: You know already. We are Team meteor and we do not relent. If you though you got here through your own ability, then you are sorely mistaken. Bonnie: What do you mean? ???: Simple. We had no intention of defeating you here. Our purpose here is forfeit already. But it was necessary to let you in so that you could all attend a demonstration. Julia: Let us in? ???: You really thought 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 of waiting. Now enough talk. Aster. Aster: Yes boss! ???: Eclipse. Eclipse: Yea? ???: Deal with the small fries. Fern: -whispering- Heh. Well even this dude knows you’re a pipsqueak. Bonnie: -whispers back aggressively- Not the time for this Fern! ???: I’ll handle the Gym Leaders. Eclipse: Well, if you say so. Aster: For Team Meteor! The 2 grunts sent out their Pokemon as did Bonnie and Fern. Unlike the other grunts the 2 had faced, these 2 were tougher. In fact, they were so tough, they almost took out Fern’s whole team but they were eventually defeated. Bonnie was proud of her little Dedenne for standing strong against these 2. Bonnie: Alright! We beat them! Aster: Damnit! ???: Really? You 2 lost already? How disappointing. I can take on 2 myself easily but 4, even beginners… Julia: Give up now! ???: Heh. Well at the very least, it was an amusing diversion. Don’t think you’ve won though. Team Meteor does not forgive. The lights turned off and when they came back on, the 3 of them were gone. No where to be seen. The 2 Gym Leaders recalled their Pokemon back to their PokeBalls. Julia walked up further into the room and started to do something. When she was done, she got back up and turned around to us. Julia: Ok.~ Time to start running. Bonnie: Uhh.. What did you do Julia? Julia: Kaaaaaa- Fern: Shit. I’m getting the hell out of here. The 4 of us ran out of the building just in time. The explosives went off and the whole place shook. The building was all cracked and torn up. Bonnie was just happy to be out of the place in time. She also noticed that it was nighttime. Bonnie: You could have told us what you were doing before just doing that Julia! Julia: Sorry. But it’s a wrap. Gooo team! Fern: Right. Well if we’re done here, then I’m getting out of here. I can’t just dawdle around like Bonnie here. Bonnie: What do you- Fern: Later. Fern left without letting Bonnie finish her sentence. She wanted to get even with him but she was just happy that he was finally gone. Julia appeared to be a bit happier too. Florinia: Obsidia requires further investigation. I will attend to that now. Bonnie: Obsidia? Julia: It’s 1 of the wards here. Florinia: You can locate it on your Pokegear. Bonnie: Ohh yea. I almost forgot I could do that. Thanks. Julia: Well Rini, it was fun hanging out with you again! It was just like the good old days back in school right? Florinia: And equally destructive, correct. However, sentimentalities remain counter-productive. I will report today’s proceedings to Ame. Farewell. Florinia then left. Bonnie couldn’t get a good read on her. She was definitely weird but seemed nice but also really straight forward with whatever was on her mind. Julia: Rini!!! -sighs- Bonnie: Is there a reason she’s like that. Julia: Well… nevermind that! Thanks for your help today Bonnie! It was great! Bonnie: It’d be better if I wasn’t stuck with Fern but it was pretty cool to hang out with you and Florinia. And I kind of see why you like to make things explode now. Julia: It’s fun! But hey! Since my gym won’t randomly blow up, I’m gonna head back there and sleep for the night. You should go back to the Grand Hall and sleep there. They might have some rooms available for you. We’ll have our Gym Battle tomorrow ok?! Bonnie: Yea. That sounds good. I’ll see you later. Julia: Bye!~ Julia then walked back to her Gym. Bonnie was starting to feel tired. She was heading back to the Grand Hall when she could hear a couple of voices upwards. Bonnie looked up and could see a pair of Team Meteor Grunts. She listened in on their convo. Male Meteor Grunt: Holy shit. We almost didn’t get out of there in time. Female Meteor Grunt: Yea. We almost blew up with the building. What do we do now? Male Meteor Grunt: Let’s go to our hideout up here and come up with a plan. Female Meteor Grunt: Alright. Sounds like a good plan. The 2 of the grunts then headed up north. Knowing trouble would be afoot, Bonnie followed them from a distance. They continued upwards and went into a building. Bonnie went to the door and listened in onto what they were saying. Male Meteor Grunt: All right. Let’s liberate the Pokemon and escape quickly. Female Meteor Grunt: Understood. Male Meteor Grunt: If this woman figures out we’re targetting her, she’s sure to flee Reborn. That’s 1 more- At that moment, the thing holding the door closed broke and Bonnie fell to the ground inside of the building. The 2 Meteor Grunts were shocked but were mad that they had been found. Bonnie felt embarrassed but also nervous. She had faced these people with a group but never alone. Female Meteor Grunt: It’s that girl from the factory! What are you doing here?! Bonnie: I-I’m here to stop you 2! Male Meteor Grunt: Ha! It’s of no consequence. She doesn’t know where we’re headed. Female Meteor Grunt: If you know what’s good for you, stay out of our business kid. They pushed Bonnie aside and ran out of the house and headed towards their target’s location. Bonnie went to go after them but she lost track of them. She searched along the upper top of Peridot Ward but couldn’t find them anywhere. But when she was heading back down, she could hear a woman’s shouting, pleading to someone to not take her Pokemon. Bonnie ran over to the house she could hear the shouting from. She stopped in front of the door. She was frightened but she knew that the person inside needed help. So she grabbed the door handle, turned it and went inside. Inside, she could see the same male and female Meteor Grunts from before. Woman: No no! Get out of here before they do something to you! Male Meteor Grunt: Huh? -turns around as well as the female grunt- Urgh! It’s you! Female Meteor Grunt: I told you we should have tied her up! Bonnie: Leave her alone right now! Male Meteor Grunt: I’m afraid you’ll just have to be eliminated. Bonnie: Just try to! She was expecting them to battle but instead, they began to do a pose. Both the woman and Bonnie seemed confused on what they were doing. Bonnie: Uhh… What are you 2- Female Meteor Grunt: This is an attack. Male Meteor Grunt: So brace for impact. Female Meteor Grunt: To eliminate this infestation! Male Meteor Grunt: To restore the are of God’s own nation! Female Meteor Grunt: To break apart the world above! Male Meteor Grunt: To find what lies beneath truth and love! Both Grunts: Team Meteor! Female Meteor Grunt: Resonating with eternal light! Male Meteor Grunt: Run away now, don’t try to fight! Both Grunts: For justice! That’s right! The woman and Bonnie were baffled by what they just witnessed. This had reminded Bonnie with her adventure with Ash whenever they encountered Team Rocket. She figured that these 2 had gotten inspiration of this motto by those guys. Nonetheless though, the 2 called out their Pokemon as did Bonnie. Bonnie was easily able to defeat the 2 grunts and render them powerless. Bonnie: Ha! So what are you gonna do now? Male Meteor Grunt: Grrr! If we continue, we jeopardize our main objective. Female Meteor Grunt: Right. Let’s retreat. The 2 grunts swiftly exited the house. The woman felt so grateful for Bonnie saving her and her Pokemon. Woman: Thank you child. If it wasn’t for you, they would have taken my Pokemon here. Bonnie: It’s ok ma’am. I’m just glad I could help. -yawns- Woman: You seem to be tired. Why don’t you stay here for the night? I’m pretty sure the Grand Hall doesn’t have any available rooms right now. Bonnie: Are you sure? I don’t want to be a burden or anything. Woman: Of course not darling! You saved me and my Pokemon. It’s the least I could do. Unfortunately, I do not have a couch or even a bed for you to sleep on. Bonnie: That’s ok! I have a sleeping bag and pillow. I’ll be fine. Bonnie put her bag down onto the floor and took out her sleeping bag and pillow and got it ready on the floor. She changed into her sleeping clothes, laid inside her sleeping bag along with her Dedenne and they both fell soundly asleep. Pokemon Team REBORN CHARACTER RATES

Calling it right now. The next episode will go up to the battle with Aster.

@N1Dude

Bonnie walked outside and looked all around. She didn’t really know what ward she was in right now. She decided to use her Pokegear and look up on the map where she was right now. Bonnie: Hmm… We’re in the Opal Ward right now. I bet I could find some trainers to battle around here before I left to another ward. Bonnie started to look around the ward for trainers to battle. She was right in assuming that there would be trainers to fight. There were more than she expected but she didn’t mind that. It just meant more battling experience for her Pokemon. Some battles were easy and some were a little tough. As she was walking to the corner of a bridge she was walking on, she could hear a couple of people yelling. As she got closer, she could see some boys threatening a Zigzagoon. She went to approach them but 1 of them got in her way. Boy #1: What are you doing here? Bonnie: What are you all doing with that Zigzagoon?! Boy #1: None of your business. Get out of here! Bonnie: -sends out her Pokemon- You’re gonna have to make me 1st! Boy #1: You think you’re tough? Fine. Whatever. The boy sent out his Pokemon. Shockingly to the boy, Bonnie had beaten him quickly. Knowing he had no other choice, he moved to the side. Bonnie ran up to the 2 boys that were picking on the little Pokemon. Boy #2: If you don’t do exactly as we say, we’ll throw you into the water! Boy #3: So you gonna listen to us?! Zigzagoon: -shaking nervously- Zigzag. Bonnie: Hey! Leave that Zigzagoon alone! Boy #2: Huh? Who are you? Boy #3: Get lost. This doesn’t concern you. Bonnie: You’re bullying that Pokemon! And you’re threatening to throw it over the bridge if it doesn’t listen to you?! That’s mean! Boy #2: And what exactly are you gonna do about it? Bonnie: I’m gonna battle the both of you and when I beat you 2, you will leave the Zigzagoon alone! The 2 boys looked at each other and started to laugh. This angered Bonnie. They were no better than her. The 2 boys then sent out their own Pokemon as did Bonnie. The boys were very confident that they would win but that hope was dashed away when Bonnie was able to defeat them rather quickly. The 2 boys called back their Pokemon and moved away from the Zigzagoon. Bonnie ran up to it and pet it. Bonnie: Are you ok? Zigzagoon: -shakes its head yes- Zigzagoon! Bonnie: That’s good. Be more careful ok? Zigzagoon: -shakes its head in agreement- Zig! Zigzagoon ran off. Bonnie hoped that it would be able to stay out of trouble from now on. When Bonnie was done exploring the bridge, she decided to go pass the gates. But each gate she went to, there were cops blocking the entrance. They wouldn’t tell her why they couldn’t let her through. She walked back near to where the train station was. She stopped in the middle of the road and stared at the station. She got lost in thought about what had happened just a couple of hours ago. She snapped back to reality and checked her Pokegear again to see where she was. Bonnie: Now I’m at… Peridot Ward. Hmm. Maybe I can find the gym while I look around here. I’ll at least know where it’ll be when I’m done training. Bonnie set off through the Peridot Ward and fought many trainers as she planned to do. She was enjoying herself quite nicely. She never had this many battles in 1 day. She came up to a sign and read what it said. Bonnie: “Neo-Circuit Power Plant - A Silph Co. Service.” Hmm. Wait. Something else is written underneath that. “Neo-Circuit is such a LAME name! I officially retitle this place the Electro-Dazzle Happy Boom-Time House of Cheer!” Well, this definitely is Julia’s Gym. She’s a weird 1 isn’t she Dedenne? Dedenne: Dedenne. Bonnie: But she also seems interesting. And fun. Anyways, let’s keep going. We gotta train up so we can become stronger. Bonnie left and continued to battle many more trainers. She couldn’t believe how many trainers there were here in the wards. As she was following the train tracks, a person called out to her. Stranger: Ey. You? Bonnie: M-Me? Stranger: Yea you. Come here. Bonnie: -walks cautiously over- Yes? Stranger: You got some style. But do you have the skill to back it up? Bonnie: If you mean a battle, then yes. Stranger: Cool. Battle me and if you win, I’ll let you chill with me and my gang. Bonnie didn’t know if it was a good idea to be talking with someone like this, especially if they were in a gang, but she thought it would be better to comply than to deny and possibly be in danger for it. The 2 battled but it didn’t take long. She won. The stranger then walked into a back alley. Bonnie followed and saw 2 more people in the back. She pretended to be interested in whatever they had to say but she just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible. When she had the opportunity, she got out of there and continued her training. She went into some buildings. In 2 of them, if she wanted to advance further, she had to battle the person blocking the entrance. She had won both battles and explored the areas they were protecting. She could understand why they would try to protect them. She continued up north and of course was met with more trainers to battle. Her Pokemon were definitely starting to get more powerful now. With no more trainers anywhere in sight, Bonnie decided it might be time to take on the gym. As she was heading down to where Julia’s gym was, she could overhear someone talking. As she kept walking closer to the source of the voice, she could see it was a boy with green hair and well wearing mostly all green. ???: Damnit! Where are they? They said to meet at the factory. Wait. Maybe… Maybe they meant the other factory! Ugh. They should have specified. The boy caught Bonnie staring at him. She got embarrassed and was about to turn around and leave but he yelled out to her. ???: Hey! What are you lookin’ at?! Bonnie: S-Sorry! I didn’t mean to stare. ???: Hmph. Come over here. Bonnie nervously walked up to him. He seemed really mad that Bonnie was staring at him. He didn’t seem nice at all. Bonnie: I said I was sorry. ???: I don’t care if you didn’t mean to or not. What were you looking at? Hmm? Bonnie: I-I was just- ???: Do you have a problem with me or something? Bonnie: No no! ???: Better not. You don’t know who you’re messing with. What’s your name kid? Bonnie: It’s Bonnie… ???: Bonnie? -laughs- Suits you. It sounds weak. While she was nervous around this boy, that comment had gotten her really angry. Bonnie: Hey! I am not weak! ???: Suuuure you’re not. Hmm? At that point, Dedenne had gotten out of the bag and jumped down to the ground in front of Bonnie. Fern saw the little mouse and started to laugh. Bonnie was confused at this. Bonnie: Why are you laughing? ???: You have a Dedenne. That Pokemon is the weakest of the weak. I can only imagine what other Pokemon you could have. Bonnie: He is not weak! He’s very strong! And so are the rest of my Pokemon! Fern: Is that so? Well how about a battle then pipsqueak? You’ll be battling against the cool cat and the top dog and the name is Fern. Bonnie: I won’t lose to someone like you! Bring it on! The 2 of them threw out their PokeBalls and the battle started. Despite talking a big game, Fern not only lost the battle but he wasn’t even able to get a hit on any of Bonnie’s Pokemon. She felt very proud for shutting his mouth up. But before she knew it, he grab her by her shirt and pulled her in close to him. He was extremely mad about the battle. Bonnie: H-Hey! What are you doing?! Let go of me! Fern: You just got lucky. That’s all. Don’t think that this fluke of a win means you’re better than me. Look at you. Just a little shit. You’re taking part of the League and you don’t even have a badge? Pathetic. You know what? Fern pushed Bonnie backwards. She stumbled backwards and then fell to the ground. Dedenne came over to her to make sure if she was ok. It then looked at Fern and its body started to show electricity. Fern: Ohh are you mad that I roughed up your trainer a little bit? What’s a tiny little Pokemon like you gonna do to me? Dedenne: -angrily- Dedenne! Bonnie: Dedenne no! He’s not worth it. Dedenne: Dedenne? Fern: Psh. You are weak. But whatever. I seriously don’t have time for this. Unlike you, I have places to be. Go work on trying to get a badge. Later loser. Fern then walked away from her. Bonnie stood up and brushed the dirt off of her dress. She looked on as Fern disappeared out of her sight. Tears started to dwell up in her eyes. She hated how Fern had treated her and her Pokemon. It wasn’t right. And the fact that he had the audacity to push her to the ground? That really got her frustrated. But she tried to suck it up. Wasting tears over someone like that wasn’t worth it. She wiped her eyes and then proceeded to go back to Julia’s Gym. When she got there, she went to open the door but it swung open and smacked Bonnie in the face. She stumbled back holding her cheek. She looked back to the door and saw that it was Julia. Bonnie: Ow! Julia! Watch it next time would you?! Julia: Hmm? Ohh noes! Did I hit you in the face with the door? Bonnie: Yes! Julia: I’m sorry! But… at least it wasn’t an exploding door? Bonnie: -sighs- Can we battle? Julia: Sure! But not right now! We got bad news! Bonnie: What’s going on now? Julia: I just got a report from Ame about the bombing at Grandview Station. Bonnie: Did she find something out about who did it? Julia: She sure did! There’s a whole team! And the perp said the next place they were going to blow up was the power plant which is MY GYM! Bonnie: It’s a good thing Ame got him to talk then huh? Julia: You’re damn right! Nobody booms things without me, least of all MY things! Bonnie: I don’t think that’s what I mean but the 2nd part sounds right. But what can we do about it? Julia: We? Bonnie: Yea. I might be younger than all of you and maybe I’m scared too but I was on the train when it blew up and me and Ame were the only ones that made it. I feel like I owe it to everyone that didn’t make it during that. Bonnie was somewhat shocked that she said all of that. Maybe deep down inside of her she truly did feel like that and it just came out now. Julia seemed pleased to hear this though. Julia: That’s great then! Come with me. My 1 friend is coming and I think her brother is coming as well. Bonnie: Alright. Sounds like a plan. Julia walked ahead as Bonnie walked behind her following to wherever she was told this team was.
