Are you all ready for Chapter 3?! Well I hope you are! This 1 is gonna be a short 1 though! But today, Wally takes on Johto's 1st Gym! Now let's take a look at the Gym Puzzle shall we? Ohh yea... Kind of forgot this wasn't really a Gym Puzzle but more like a... Gym Decision I suppose you can call it. You either go through the 2 trainers route or on the see through glass route. Of course Wally is gonna go through the trainers! After mere seconds of battling both those trainers, it's time. Wally is face to face with Falkner! It's time for Wally's whole entire team to take on Falkner's... 2 Pokemon Team... You know what? Hold on. I'm gonna have Wally do something really quick. Out the building we go... Back to the PokeCenter… Put these in here... And back to the Gym to face Falkner! Let's take a look at Wally's team! Well it seems Wally is really confident and is going in with just 1 Pokemon! Well let's see if he can defeat Falkner with 1 Pokemon! Btw, defeating the 2 Gym Trainers in the Gym with Magnemite had it level up to level 11 and it learned Supersonic. A... 50/50 useful move. I'm not really a fan of confusion moves but it can help once in a while. How is Wally's Magnetmite supposed to defeat Falkner's 2 Mon team?! It's 2 VS 1! The stacks are totally against him! There's no possible way he could beat Falkner like that! WHY DID WAL- Ohh… The battles over already... And it only took 3 moves... 1 shot the Pidgey with Thundershock and with Pidgeotto, 1 Metal Sound and Thundershock brought the bird down. I clipped its wings with electricity as Falkner would say. But with that out of the way, Wally has earned himself his 1st Badge in the Johto Region and ridiculously easy at that! MVP of Chapter 3: Magnemite. Hey. We finally get our 1st solo MVP. But really, do I need to go into detail onto why Magnemite is the MVP here? It was the only PokemoN I used in the entire Gym and basically 1 shot everything in that Gym. Chapter 1 to Chapter 3 Analysis: When you 1st start out with Wally's team, it's hard to use them all since some of them don't have attacking moves (Ralts and Azurill) or some of them have really weak attacking moves (Magnemite and Swablu to a degree). But once you are able to get some of those Mons up a level and get their respective "starter" moves, it starts becoming easier. Bellsprout Tower is a breeze with Swablu and Ralts and Falkner is a joke when Magnetmite is used. Wally's team at this point is alright at this point. Ralts, Swablu, Magnemite and Skitty can put in some work. Budew is basically only good against Water, Ground and Rock types right now and Azurill is... it's still gonna be a pain to train this up. I want it to evolve ASAP! Dx -sigh- Well, in Chapter 4, we'll be tackling the entirety of Route 32 and a cave! Here's a look at the team's current level. Hope you all enjoy this! Stay tuned for Chapter 4!

Well hey there! I have returned with Chapter 2 already! Last time, I introduced you all to Wally's team and the problems he faces with having to try to get 2 of his Pokemon evolve with friendship and some not having moves right at the start. Before continuing on his adventure, I had Wally train his Swablu and Budew up to level 6 so that they'd be even with the rest of the team. Now it's time for Wally to tackle Route 31. It' s not a hard time to get through these battles but it DOES take a long time. The reason being? Continuously switch training Azurill. It takes double the time. But we FINALLY get to the end of the route. What does his team level look like now? Hmm... Only his Azurill and Budew have grown levels huh? It's to be expected. Annoyingly expected but expected nonetheless. Ugh. This is gonna take a looooong time to level Azurill up. Ohh yes. Both of the Pokemon learned a new move on level 7. Budew learned Water Sport (useless) and Azurill learned Tail Whip. (useless for right now) Now that Wally's in Violet City, it's time I make him go train his Pokemon! Time to go to the Ruins Of Alph and train off the Unown…! Which I thought gave more EXP btw. the beginning part of Route 32 and the beginning part of the Bellsprout Tower to get everyone to level 10. And it took 2 hours. Boy. Switch training Azurill gets really annoying. BUT reaching level 10 means 1 thing for that little ball of oil! (That's what Azurill is right...?) It finally knows an attacking move! Yes! Yes! Yes! About time! No more switch training! So what's the move it learned...?! Ohh… It's just Bubble... Well maybe the switch training will be cut down at least. Speaking of teammates learning new moves, Ralts has learned Double Team (useful), Budew has learned Stun Spore (useful) and Swablu has learned Sing! (somewhat useful... IF IT LANDS!) Now it's time Wally takes on the people of Bellsprout Tower... I wonder why people made a tower dedicated to Bellsprout? I mean I like them but I wouldn't make a building dedicated to them... Maybe it's BDSM related... Hey. What's that look for? That 1 dude made a harder version of this game (Which I'm not playing with btw.) and he had Ivysaur Vine Whipping Gardenia! Don't look at me weirdly for thinking about that! Anyways, we're getting off track here. With Wally's team now all at level 10, he takes on the Bellsprout Monks! And they get DESTROYED by Ralts and Swablu. Absolutely massacred! Wally makes it up to the top, hears the boring spiel with Silver and now it's time to take on the Eldest! And... he too gets absolutely destroyed! Hoorah! With that done, Wally can now take on the Gym. But we'll save that for the next Chapter. Lots of training in this chapter but it's worth it. Btw, if you're wondering why I trained them up to level 10, that's what I do whenever I play these games. MVP of Chapter 2: Ralts And Swablu. I'm basing this off of the Bellsprout Tower alone considering nothing happened with the stuff before that. Swablu and Ralts ran through all the Bellsprout that was put in front of them. How can they not be the MVP's of this Chapter after that? They both also gained a level from all the Bellsprout destruction. So that's an added bonus! On the next Chapter, Wally will take on the Flying Type Gym Leader Falkner. Will Wally be able to defeat him with absolutely no problems or will Falkner somehow destroy Wally...? If you pick the 2nd option, I hate you all. (Jk of course) Before I forget, here is what the team is looking like right now. Hope you all enjoy this! Stay tuned for Chapter 3!

I actually came up with this because I just got done playing a ROM hack called Pokémon Emerald Wally Version & it basically tells the story from Wally’s point of view. Also, another mistake. I meant to give Swablu Brave & not Naughty. So that should be the last change I’ll be making to this whole thing.

So I realized I did a little oopsie here. Skitty should have technically not had Fake Out because it learns Attract at level 4 which would cancel out that move. So starting now, the moves will be Growl, Tail Whip, Tackle & Attract.

So what this basically means is that I'm gonna use the team Wally used in ORAS and see if I can beat HeartGold with his team and if I can, can I do it easily. So that means I'm eventually gonna evolve Kirlia into Gallade, Roselia into Roserade and Magneton into Magnezone. Also, gonna have to use the PUR (Pokemon Universal Randomizer) to have Magneton evolve into Magnezone because it can't be evolved at all in HeartGold or SoulSilver. You probably remember that Wally had only 5 Pokemon when you battle him for the final time in the official story. So am I going to do that? HA! Of course not. I've chosen a Pokemon that I think actually fits him quite nicely and he'd even be able to get this Pokemon in his respective game. So without further ado, let's get on with this shall we? Let's see his team. It's definitely not the strongest team but it's certainly interesting. Ohh. I've also decided that at the end of each chapter, I'm gonna do an MVP of that episode. Just to make it a bit more interesting. So let's see the 1st Pokemon of Wally's team. Btw, every Pokemon has their own ball. Wally's "starter" is Ralts. Decided to put it in a Master Ball because why not? Ohh yes. Almost forgot. All the Pokemon will start out at level 5 and will have the moves they learn up to that point. And that really sucks because Ralts only knows Growl at this level. Which means the only way to get it to level up is to switch train. But ohh well. Another thing. I have also gen'ed in the Pokemon with their respective evolution items but I'm not gonna evolve them right away when they get to the right evolutions. I'm gonna try to make the game harder on myself. I think that's everything so back to the Ralts. So since I'm gonna be evolving Ralts into a Gallade, I obviously gave it a nature to boost its Attack stat up. Gonna be hard to battle with this guy even when it does learn an attacking move cus its Sp.A isn't gonna be good as its Attack. But I'm looking forward to using this. Next up we have is Budew. And this thing is gonna be pretty difficult to use. The only way this Pokemon evolves into Roselia is with happiness and it has to be daytime. And it's pretty easy for this little Pokemon to faint in almost 1 hit. So I gotta make sure that it stays alert and happy so it evolves as soon as possible. Best stats are Sp.A and Sp.D. The next Pokemon in Wally's line up is the 1 that I decided would fit into his party. It's an Azurill! Most of Wally's team looks kind of cutesy and if you tell me Azumarill doesn't look cutesy... then feel free to. I can't change your opinion. So this thing here is more defensive than offensive. So attacking really isn't its thing but I'll be able to make do with it. This Pokemon is like the opposite of Budew. While I can evolve it with friendship anytime of the 24 hours of the day, it starts of with NO MOVES until level 10... Yaaaay. This thing is gonna be switch trained a lot. Unless I can have it evolve before the 1st Gym... Ohh boy. Ohh yea. I made it shiny because why not. Up next is Skitty! Everyone's favorite Pokemon right?! Right?!… Well I know 1 of you favors this Pokemon over all the other almost 1000 Pokemon. (Jesus that's a lot. I mean Arceus.) Anyways, it's a very... mediocore Pokemon at best but I think I'm gonna have fun with this Pokemon the best. And I have no idea why. I think I have a sort of liking to the "weak" Pokemon. But anyways, this Pokemon is a decent speedy attacker. But in this, I'm also gonna focus on the Sp.A as well. Which is probably noticeable if you take a look at its nature. Now this maybe the only time I can say this about this Pokemon but it's probably gonna be the best Pokemon to have on the team for right now because it can actually damage other Pokemon. How weird is that huh? 5th member of Wally's Pokemon team is Magnemite and its kind of the odd 1 out of the whole team. But I still think it suits him. Anyways, this little magnet is a strong Sp.A and has pretty good Defense. But with its level 5 moveset as of right now... it's kind of suck-ish right now. But it learns Thundershock at the next level so its not too bad. It's kind of like Ralts but it at least has some kind of damaging move. The final member of Wally's team is Swablu. More defensive with decent Attack, Sp.A and Speed. overall, it's pretty decent. But I'm gonna focus on the Attack and Sp.D here. Also, this it the only Pokemon as of right now that has 2 different typing damaging moves. Yay for that! But that's everything for the Pokemon team! As we leave from Cherrygrove City, I decide that any Pokemon that decides to show their UGLY MUG to us, I'm gonna have it switch battle with Ralts so it can learn Confusion. Despite getting to Mr. Pokemon (kind of hope that's a nickname and not his actual name.) and then back to Cherrygrove, Ralts hasn't gained enough experience to get to level 6. As Wally tries to get back home, he runs into... SILVER! Yep. Leaving the name like that. Also, I had to where he stole the Totodile like he did in the Manga. But you know what this means right? Mhm. Time for a battle! Lead out with Ralts and have it Growl a couple of times to lower its Attack. I then switch out to Skitty. With Totodile unable to do much damage to Skitty, it Fake Outs and then Tackle's it twice to get the win. Despite gaining more EXP than from the wild Pokemon, no level up is gained. But that's ok because the next wild Pokemon Battle Wally is in helps Ralts gets to Level 6 thus learning Confusion. Now it's time to get Azurill up a level. As Wally continues to go back to New Bark Town, Magnemite gains a level and learns Thundershock. Great! I useful early move! Wally makes it back "home" and the usual speech happens. Afterwards, he tells his mom to not save his money and then starts his adventure for real this time. As he's going back to Cherrygrove, not only does his Azurill gain a level but so does Skitty. As he gets back to Cherrygrove, he decides to take a rest in the PokeCenter. And that, ladies and gents, is where I'm gonna leave this Chapter. So yea. Not really a whole lot happening in this 1st chapter but you're all introduced to Wally's team. MVP of Chapter 1: Skitty and Magnemite. Wow! Just starting off and we already have a double MVP huh? Well it's true. Magnemite really helped out Ralts with switch training as I was getting up to Mr. Pokémon's house. It took long because of its weak Tackle Attack but since nothing else was able to really damage the thing, it really helped getting not only its comrade but also itself up a level. Skitty was also the MVP because well same reason as Magnemite. It helped Ralts with the Silver battle and it also helped Azurill get up a level. And it also got itself up a level as well. Hope you all enjoy this! I think this is gonna be an interesting thing to do throughout the next couple of... however long this takes. Stay tuned for Chapter 2!

Wow. Gabriel sure likes to catch a whole bunch of Pokemon huh? Haha. But it was enjoyable. Keep up the good work!

I give that a 10/10.

Commenting so thread doesn't get locked.

Really nice episode. I like how you combined the Old Rod and Pokemon mini quests together. Didn't see that coming. I like where this is going and I can't wait for the next Episode.

Yea. I'm kind of doing a lot of these at the moment. James (This is actually a restart. I had another thread like this except he used completely different Pokemon he only caught in Reborn but I wasn't feeling it) Bonnie, a couple of years older, me as you obviously know and also me but in Rejuvenation. If you haven't played that game yet, I'd definitely suggest you check it out. It's pretty wild. Well I kind of think she's still a brat even the way I've written her in this. And the whole thing with her knowing about boyfriends and girlfriends, maybe it's just me but kids seem to know when a couple is... well a couple. So I just made her like that. Btw, maybe it's because I just woke up and my brain is still trying to work but are you saying Heather is 10 or Shelly is 10? Shelly, I believe, is 12. Heather is either 9 or just about to turn 10 in the game. Well she's definitely gonna be involved a lot more than usual. I'm not gonna have her there at every Meteor event though but there are gonna be times where she's there for the good times as well. Ummm… I didn't see him say that so... I'm not sure. I usually look at my playthrough of the game for the dialogue when I'm writing the story down.

Early the next day, James woke up. His back and neck hurt a lot and felt very stiff. Sleeping up against a hard surface for hours was probably not a good thing for him or Ame at this point. James looked over to her. She was still sound asleep. He was happy that at least for right now she wasn’t crying. He quietly and carefully moved Ame and had her lay down on the ground. He got up and stretched and looked up into the air. He never thought there could be a beautiful view in this region but he was getting 1 right now. The sun was just peaking over the desert and everything just looked gorgeous. But then James remembered back to last night and what had occurred. James: Corey was on the edge of the bridge and just… I don’t want to think about it… James then remembered that he never healed his Pokemon after battling all of those policemen back in Corey’s Gym. He decided that he’d go to the PokeCenter and heal his Pokemon while also trying to unstiffen himself. He walked to the PokeCenter and got his team all healed up. As he stepped outside, he looked to his left and saw a Bellsprout and Weepinbell. They stared at him for a couple of seconds and then started to run off. This made James remember back to the Weepinbell he had that evolved into Victreebel. To which he was forced to trade away for another Weepinbell with Sweet Scent and then that 1 was kicked away by Jessie, never to be seen again. Then he decided. He was gonna catch 1 of them. He chased them up towards Corey’s Gym and and then headed to the left. The scenery changed from nice and beautiful to somewhat spooky. There were pumpkins and tombstones around the place. He looked ahead and could see the Bellsprout and Weepinbell. James got all excited and went to run up to them to catch them but out of nowhere, 2 Victreebel came dropping down in front of them. They stared him down. James: Hmm. Those 2 must be the parents of that Bellsprout and Weepinbell which would make them siblings… That’s so adorable! Male Victreebel: -curious screech and then excited screech- James: Umm… Are you ok? You’re- Wait! What are you doing?! Ahh! The Victreebel had put half of James’ body into its mouth. James struggled to get out of it but also in a way, he missed this. But then he realized something. This Victreebel was doing the exactly same thing his Victreebel used to do. Suddenly, he could hear Ame’s voice yell out to him. Ame: James…? James! Oh my Arceus! Hold on! Get off you! James: Wait wait! Don’t hurt it! The 2 of them were able to get the Victreebel off of him and back onto the ground. The Victreebel was jumping up and down with a look of happiness on its face. James couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Ame: Alright! It’s time I sent you packin’! James: Ame wait! Don’t! Ame: What do you mean don’t?! That thing tried to eat you just now! James: I don’t think that’s what it was trying to do. Ame: What else could it have possibly been doing?! James: Victreebel… Do you… remember me? Male Victreebel: -screeches and nods its head yes- James: -tearing up- F-From Kanto? Male Victreebel: -happily screeches- James: I-I can’t believe it… It’s my Victreebel. Ame: Your Victreebel? How? James: Long ago when I was still apart of Team Rocket, I was forced to trade my Victreebel for a Weepinbell with Sweet Scent. Apparently, the person I traded it to must have released it. Hey wait… Are you the Victreebel that Jessie kicked into the woods? Female Victreebel: -screeches nonchalantly and nods yes- James: Tha-That’s incredible! You 2 met up and had babies! But how did you get here? Kanto and Reborn are far away from each other. Ame: A while ago, we were short on Pokemon. The Bellsprout family being 1 of them. We asked Reborn if they would send us over an of the Bellsprout family over and we got quite a few. Actually, if I remember correctly, there were only 2 Victreebels that were brought over… That must have been you 2. Male Victreebel: -happily screeches- Ame: I’m shocked that these 2 used to belong to you though. Also glad you’re not with that group anymore. You shouldn’t have to be forced to trade or release your Pokemon. James: Well they are a pain in the neck but… I’m always gonna have a soft spot for them. As for you 4, it seems as though you’re doing quite well. I won’t try to capture your kids. Male Victreebel: -screeches happily- Suddenly, everyone could hear a group of Pokemon calling out. They looked down the stairs and could see a Bellossom, Vileplume, Gloom and Oddish. They seemed like they wanted to fight the Victreebel family. The 2 Victreebel’s and the Weepinbell got ready for battle while the Bellsprout hid away from everything. James and Ame stood back as everything took place. With the battle being be 3 V 4, the Oddish family defeated the Victreebel family. They then walked away triumphantly. James and Ame went over to make sure that the 2 Victreebels and Weepinbell were ok. They luckily were and soon recovered enough energy to start walking around. James was relieved. James: I’m glad you guys are ok. But what was that all about? Ame: For some reason, the Oddish and Bellsprout family line always seem to have a problem with each other. James: Well that’s horrible… Ame: Hey James. Can I speak to you really quick? About… you know… last night? James: Uhh, yea… sure… Ame: I’m just… That whole thing kind of fucked me up you know? I didn’t expect him to do that. Let alone me witnessing it. I really want to thank you for being there for me when it all went down. James: Well that’s no problem hun. Ame: I think I’m gonna head back to the Grand Hall now. I’ve been away for probably a little too long. James: Ohh. Well ok. Do you want me to come with you? Ame: I’ll be fine… Really. Besides, I get the feeling that you wanna help out your former Pokemon teammates right? James: Heh… You know me too well. Ame: Again, thank you James. -kisses him- I’ll see you later ok? James: Alright Ame. Be safe. Ame turned around and started to walk to the Grand Hall. James kind of felt bad for letting her go on her own but he figured that if she wanted him to go, she would have told him to. He turned back to the Victreebel family. He walked up to the Bellsprout. The little Pokemon walked up to James and looked up to him. It then proceeded to hug his leg. James smiled at it. James: Well you obviously don’t like to battle huh? Bellsprout: Bellsprout? Bell… Bellsprout… -shakes head no- James: I get it. It’s scary. But your family needs you. Even your… umm… your sibling is helping their parents out. You have to try as well. The Bellsprout looked down at the ground. It then looked at its parents and Weepinbell. They all looked back at the Bellsprout. They then came around it and gave it a hug, along with James. After that, the Bellsprout looked up at James and showed a determined face. James: Alright. Let’s have you practice some moves. And then you all will have a rematch this afternoon. Got it? Bellsprout: Bellsprout! James then started to train the Bellsprout. It was tough at 1st. But gradually, it started to get more confident with it’s moves and they started to hot more powerful than it was able to before. After a couple of hours training, James felt that it was ready for a rematch. James: Alright. You guys go towards the entrance of the ward. I’ll find the Oddish family and have them meet up with you. Male Victreebel: -screeches confidently- Bellsprout: Bellsprout Bell! James: That’s the spirit little guy! The Victreebel family left to go towards the entrance of the ward. James went on the search for the Oddish family. It didn’t take long to find them. When he did, told told them that the Pokemon they had beaten before were looking for a rematch and that they wanted to meet them near the entrance of the ward. They seemed eager. James lead them to where the battle was taking place. James stood out of the way. They all stared down each other. The battle then started. All 8 were battling and they seemed to be very even. But despite the Bellsprout being more comfortable, there were times where it was afraid to attack. The Oddish was powering up an Energy Ball attack. It fired the attack at the again scared Bellsprout. James couldn’t help but jump into the way of it and took the attack. Bellsprout watched as James fell down to the ground. It ran up to him to make sure he was ok. James: Ow… That hurt… But I’m fine… Urgh… Bellsprout: Bellsprout…? Bellsprout… BELLSPROUT! Bellsprout jumped in front of James and looked at the Oddish with anger. Before any attack had been shot though, the Bellsprout began to glow a light blue-ish color. James looked on in awe as the timid little Bellsprout evolved into a Weepinbell. The newly evolved Weepinbell then ran over to the Oddish and had some of its body inside of its mouth. James had no idea what the Pokemon was doing but it seemed to be doing the trick. Soon, the Oddish was fainted. James got up and went over to the Weepinbell and praised it for defeating its enemy and for also evolving. James took out his Pokedex and checked the moves the Weepinbell had. James: Let’s see here… Vine Whip… Acid… Sleep Powder… Leech Life? Is that the move you used Weepinbell? Weepinbell: Weepinbell!~ James: That’s great! Let’s help out the rest of the rest of your family. The 2 ran over to where the rest were battling. Thanks to the newly evolved Weepinbell, the Victreebel family was able to beat the Oddish family and come out victorious. The defeated family then ran off towards the jungle in frustration. The 2 Victreebels and the Weepinbell sibling were proud of the newly evolved Weepinbell for evolving and getting over its fear of battling. The lot of them went onto the bridge and stared out towards the city. It was a good start to James’ day. James: Well I’m glad we’ve had this time together. But I gotta get back on my journey. It was really good meeting you Victreebel. Brought back a lot of good memories. Male Victreebel: -screeches happily- James: Guess I’ll see you all la- huh? James felt something tug on his leg. When he looked down, he could see the Weepinbell holding onto his leg. He knelt down and patted the little guy on the head. James: I’m glad I got to meet you too. But I gotta go. Weepinbell: Weepin Weepinbell! James’ main Victreebel came up to the both of them. It and the Weepinbell then started to talk to each other. Victreebel got a happy look across its face. It then looked at James, wrapped the Weepinbell with its vine and handed it over to James. James: Victreebel? What are you doing? Male Victreebel: -screeches happily and insists James holds the Weepinbell- James: Uhh… Weepinbell: Weepin Weepinbell!~ James: Are you… saying Weepinbell can come with me? Victreebel: -nods its head yes- James: That’s… That’s great! -takes out a PokeBall- So you really wanna come with me don’t you. Weepinbell: Weepinbell. -nods its head yes- James: Well welcome to the team buddy. James took the PokeBall and pressed it up against the Weepinbell’s head. It went inside, jiggled a couple of times and then signaled that the capture was complete. Just then, a huge explosion could be heard and rocked the bridge. James fell onto the ground. When the shaking stopped, James and the Victreebel family looked over the bridge. They could see a plume of smoke rising up into the air. James knew it had to be Team Meteor. He ran off towards the explosion to see what had happened. Pokemon Team

Ame lead James into Beryl Ward. Coincidentally, where they were led right into the ward. They didn’t have to go through all the way back through the jungle again. They went to the right and then headed all the way up towards what seemed like a mountain of sorts. James had never seen a place like this. James: So this is his Gym? Ame: Yes. Well… it was I should say. James: Yea… You fired him. Ame: I can’t believe it… Corey was apart of Team Meteor… Why? James: We’ll find out soon. Just try to keep it together ok? Ame: I know. But I feel bad for Heather. James: Me too. I can’t imagine how she’s feeling right now. What’s going to happen to her? Ame: Well, when we officially arrest Corey, we’ll probably have to put her in the Orphanage we have in the Lapis Ward. James: Ohh… I see… Ame: Yea… Come on though. We gotta get inside. The 2 of them walked in. James was intrigued with the place. It was small but the big 6 tubes in front of him made him feel uneasy for some reason. The Police Chief was near the entrance. His policemen were scattered around the small area. Ame: So what’s going on? Police Chief: My men have searched the entire area but we can’t find any trace of him? James: Are you sure this is his Gym Ame? Ame: I’m positive. I know the trick to this Gym. James: The trick? Ame: Mhm. By the looks of it, the door upstairs is open. Which means the door to the living quarters is blocked off. And in order to get that area open to us, we need to turn these chemicals in these tanks to pink. Sooo… Ame went over to 2 of the tubes and pressed the buttons that were on them. They were all instantly turned pink. We could all hear something move. When they looked behind the tubes, they could see a door now present. Ame had done it. James: Nice job hun! Police Chief: Yes.Well done Ame. Ame: It’s no problem. Now, me and James will enter. When we get him out, you and your officers will grab him and arrest him. Police Chief: Yes ma’am! Alright men! Get into position! Policeman: Yes sir! The officers hid behind some of the tubes and the walls. James and Ame went between the tubes and entered the living quarters. Wasn’t that much in there. Just a living room and Heather’s room presumably. As they walked up, they entered what we assumed was Corey’s bedroom and there standing with his back turned towards them was Corey. Ame: Alright Corey. It’s over. We found you. Corey: So you found me huh? I should have figured. You do know how to get to this area anyways. Ame: Please Corey. Just surrender. All of this running around is pointless. Corey: No. No I don’t think it is Ame. -looks over at James annoyingly- And you… 1st, you destroy all 3 of the PULSE-Tangrowth systems that I oversaw. Then you revitalize the City Police Department, causing them to ambush me. And they out me in front of my daughter no less… James: I’m not going to apologize for what I’ve done. You’re the bad guy here. You’re with Team Meteor. I was just doing what’s right. Corey: Heh… You doing what’s right? Can WE trust you? Ame: What do you mean? Corey: You know exactly what I mean. He’s a member of Team Rocket! James: No I’m not! I haven’t been with them for a while now. I’m done with that life. Corey: Sure you are. You’re just building up her trust and then when she’s completely vulnerable, you’ll have your team come in and try to take over this Region! Ame: Stop it Corey! He’s not like that anymore. He’s changed. James: How do you know about me being apart of that organization anyways? Corey: Ohh please. Most of the Regions know about Team Rocket by now. Aevium, Ayrith, Reborn. We’ve all come up with plans just in case they try to do something. James: Well that’s not me. Not anymore. Ame: Corey… I don’t know what you’re thinking. Why would you join Team Meteor? Corey: …What have you come here for? Hmm? Is it my badge? Because as of 5 minutes ago, I am no longer the Gym Leader here. Ame: You know why we’re here Corey. Corey: …I’ll be at my arena. I will show you all misery. Once again, Corey used smoke bombs to blur their vision and get away from them. The 2 of them ran out the door and were about to go to the arena room when the Police Chief stopped them for a moment. Police Chief: Hold on! James: What is it? Ame: How come your men didn’t stop him when he came out? Police Chief: As soon as you 2 entered that room, these tanks sprayed out whenever was in them. I kept myself from being touched by them but my men weren’t so successful. James: Are they ok? Police Chief: I don’t know. They just started to act weird. Policemen: Urgh… Obey… Must obey… Police Chief: Ahh! There they are! The 3 of them saw the policemen walking towards them. It wasn’t a normal walk though. They were walking as if they were zombies or something. This was definitely strange. Police Chief: What do we do? Ame: Damnit. We can’t let Corey get away but we can’t just leave these guys like this? Urgh! James: Ame. It’ll be ok. Ame: How? James: You said that this was important to you right? Ame: Huh? I mean yea but- James: Then you deal with Corey and I’ll deal with these policemen. I’ll make them return back to their normal selves. Ame: James… Are you sure? James: Of course I am sweetie. You got get him and I’ll deal with these guys. Ame: Heh… Thank you hun. -kisses James on the cheek and leaves for the arena- Police Chief: Well what do we do James? Policeman: -pulls out a PokeBall- Obey… Battle… James: Well it seems that I’m gonna have a battle on my hands. You just stay behind me Chief! I’ll take care of this! They’ll be back to normal in no time! Police Chief: Right! The Police Chief got behind James. 1 of the Policemen through out their Pokemon and the 1st of many battles started. Meanwhile, Ame reached the arena room and went inside. On the other side was Corey. Ame had a feeling that no matter what, there was gonna be a battle here. Ame: Corey, stop this! Just surrender! Corey: Ame… Where’s your significant other? Ame: He’s dealing with the policemen. What did you do to them?! Corey: Don’t worry. They aren’t harmed. They’re just confused from the gases in those tubes. They’ll return back to normal after a battle. Ame: That’s still a horrible thing to do. I don’t get it Corey. I know things haven’t been good for you since your wife died but- Corey: I don’t care who you are. Never, and I mean NEVER, bring her name up again! Ame: I’m just bringing up a point. Corey: I don’t care what point you’re making. Say wife 1 more time and you shall suffer. Ame: I’m sorry Corey. It sounds like you just threatened my life. Corey: Ohh I did. And I’ll make it a promise if you utter that word. Ame: You’re becoming a loose canon. You’re not safe to be here anymore. Now either calmly come with me to the Police Station… or we do this the hard way. Corey: Is that supposed to intimidate me? Ame: I just… I don’t want you to lose anything else… Corey: Lose…? Lose? There is nothing left for me to lose. The only reason I’ve kept going through the years was for Heather. Ame: So you are… I had a feeling but I didn’t want to believe it… Corey: But now because of you and especially James, my 1 hope and memory of her… It’s gone. She may never speak to me again. The 2 of you ruined the small splinter of life I had rebuilt. Ame: We were just trying to stop Team Meteor! Why are you working with them?! You know this isn’t like you! You’d never join a team like that! So tell me. Tell me why you’ve joined them. Corey: No… You don’t deserve that answer when you are part of the reason the little world that I was holding onto has now crumbled onto itself. Ame: So that’s it then? You won’t surrender? Corey: I won’t. Ame: Then it looks like you’re choosing the hard way. You know you can’t defeat me Corey. Corey: But alas, I know you Ame. Unless you’re defending your title as Champion of Reborn, you only carry around 1 Pokemon with you. Which means I only have to defeat that 1 Pokemon. And then what Ame? What will you do when you don’t have any Pokemon to defend you? You will fall and you too shall feel the pain that I have suffered throughout these years! Ame: Yes. I do only have 1 Pokemon with me Corey. But as you said, I’m the Champion of this Region. My Pokemon aren’t weak. Your whole team doesn’t stand a chance against it. Corey: Just because you’re the Champion doesn’t mean you’re invincible! 1 day, someone stronger than you will defeat you and you’ll feel sorrow and pain! And that day is today! Now suffer! Corey quickly took out a remote and pressed a button on it. The tubes inside the room turned pink and a gas started to leak out. Ame figured that this is what happened to the policemen before. She quickly called out her Alolan Ninetails and had it use Mist. It didn’t cover the whole room but it was enough to not have the gases touch her. Corey then took out a PokeBall and the battle between Champion Ame and Ex-Gym Leader Corey began. Just as Ame said, Corey stood no chance against her. Her Alolan Ninetails was enough to knock out his whole entire team. The gas in the room started to go away. Ame walked up to Corey. Ame: It’s over now Corey. Surrender. Corey: You…! For every joy, bitter misery rushes after. You want answers right? Ame: Yes. And I’m going to get them. Corey: Fine. I’ll give you answers on 1 condition. Ame: Conditions?! You joined a terrorist organization! And you’re trying to give me a condition for you to give me answers?! Corey: All you have to do is come to Beryl Bridge. I’ll be waiting for you there. Bring James along with you as well. He deserves to hear this as well. Afterwards, you can take me to jail with no issues. Ame: …Fine. Corey walked passed Ame and out of the arena room. Ame stood there for a couple of seconds reflecting on what had just transpired between the 2. They weren’t close friends but she never expected something like this from him. She exited the room as well. She found James alone near the entrance of the building. She couldn’t see the Police Chief or any of the policemen. Ame: Hey. Where’d everyone go? James: After I defeated them in battle, they seemed to have come back to their senses. I told the Chief to take them back to the Station to rest. Ame: That’s probably a good idea. James: So what’s going on with Corey? I just saw him walk out of here. Ame: We’re gonna meet up with him on Beryl Bridge? James: For what? Ame: He told me that he’ll give me all the answers there. So I let him go. James: You just believed him?! Ame: After he tells me what I wanna know, then he’s gonna surrender to us. James: Well… hopefully that happens. Alright. Let’s get going then. No telling what he has planned. The 2 of them ran out of the building and started to run towards the Beryl Bridge. When they started to run across it, they could see Corey standing there but when they got closer, they could see his entire team out of their PokeBalls. They stopped just a few feet from them. James: Is that his Pokemon team? Ame: What are you- Corey: Good. You’re both here. Now then… the lot of you are done. You’ve served me well but now you’re free. James: Wait. Is he releasing all of his Pokemon? Ame: We usually give them an option whether they want to stay or become wild again if a leader passes away or gets arrested but this has never happened before. Corey: Go on. Get lost! All of the Pokemon stared at each other in confusion for a couple of seconds. Then 1 by 1, Skuntank, Mareanie, Croagunk and Skrelp left. The Nidorina started to leave but then looked back at her former trainer 1 more time and then left. The Crobat was the only 1 that didn’t leave. After being scolded by Corey, it eventually flew away. Corey then went over to the side of the bridge and dropped all of the PokeBalls off of it. Ame and James couldn’t believe what they were seeing. James: That’s… That’s heartless! Ame: What was all of that about? Corey: Does it matter anymore? James: It does to me! How could you do that to your Pokemon! Corey: They’re not my Pokemon anymore. They are free now. James: You really are evil. Your daughter is right about you… Ame: James- James: No! It’s true! He doesn’t care about anyone but himself! Corey: …It really doesn’t matter what you think of me. Not anymore. But I suppose you are interested in why I joined Team Meteor? James: Yes! Ame: I would like to know. This just isn’t how you are Corey… Corey: Fine then… I was cursed by my own luck. James: Cursed by your own luck? What are you talking about? Corey: I suppose I should start at the beginning. There was a ring. A brilliant Ruby Ring. I purchased it from a collector some time ago. I’m not 1 for jewelry but it was the most dazzling ring I had ever seen. I decided that I would introduce that ring to what true beauty was. I promised it to my love and she gladly accepted. It wasn’t long after we were married that my wife became pregnant. We were both very excited. Back then, I was happy. I was naive. My wife didn’t survive Heather’s birth. Ame: I remember that. I read it in the Reborn newspaper when it happened. It was some kind of machine backfire. Corey: That’s what I was told as well… but that’s not all. The doctor assigned to her had, at some point, taken the ring and would not return it to me. James: Look, I’m sorry your wife… succumbed while giving birth and that the doctor wasn’t a good person and stole the ring from her but what does this have to do with you joining Team Meteor? Corey: Well… I later found out that he had been dispatched by Team Meteor to obtain that ring. I did what I could, but in the end, I was unable to recover it. Ame: Wait… Corey, are you telling me that you joined them so you could keep the ring? Corey: …Yes. I agreed to serve them as long as I was allowed to keep the ring. James: You joined Team Meteor to keep some stupid ring?! Corey: It’s not some stupid ring! It’s my wife’s ring! It’s the last token to our happiness..! I did everything I had to in order to keep it. But I admit it… I was selfish. Ame: I get that you wanted to keep the happiness and keep her in some way but… that wasn’t the correct way to do it. Corey: I know this now. I placed my own desires above what was best for Heather. And now because of it, she’s gone. Ame… James… That Ruby Ring… Heather has it now. James: How do you know? Corey: As I was coming out of the Gym, I ran into her. She was already planning on telling me she had it and running away… But what she doesn’t know is that she’ll be hunted for it. Ame: What?! You knew this and you just let her keep it?! Corey: …I want you both to do me a lifetime favor… Please watch over her for me. James: Lifetime favor to watch over her for you? Why wo- Whoa whoa. What are you doing?! Ame: Corey! Get down from there! Corey had jumped up on the edge of the bridge. He moved his head downward looking at the ground below. This bridge was really high up. 1 wrong move and Corey would fall and be dead as soon as he hit the ground. Ame: Corey! Don’t do this! She still needs you! Corey: No Ame… I no longer have the right to call myself her father. James: Hey! What I said before was brutal but I was wrong for it! Don’t do anything rash! Just come back over! Please! Corey: -turns around, spreads arms and closes eyes- My love. I’ll be with you soon. Ame: COREY NO! Ame went running over to Corey but it was too late. He fell backwards off the bridge and plummeted down to the ground below. James couldn’t believe what he had just seen. A man just threw himself off of the bridge, killing himself. Ame looked over the bridge. She started to cry when she saw his body all bloody with bones sticking out of his body. James ran over to her and pulled her from there and embraced her. She pressed her face onto his shoulders and cried. James had never seen Ame like this before. But he couldn’t blame her. She just witnessed someone killing themselves. James tried her best to calm her down but all he could do was keep hugging here to try to comfort her. The both of them slid down onto the ground, now sitting. James kept hugging her as she let out all her tears. This lasted for about an hour. Ame was starting to tire out from all of the crying. James was tired too. A half hour later, Ame was totally asleep, lying on James shoulder. James held his head back, looking up at the sky. He never expected his Pokemon journey in the Reborn Region to be going like this. But he knew he had to keep going. He had to save the Reborn Region from Team Meteor and help rebuild itself. Plus, he wanted to help out his girlfriend in anyway he could. He knew she would probably be a mess from this incident but he was gonna be there for her no matter what. Eventually, James too drifted off to sleep. Pokemon Team Character Ratings

Well I mean to be fair, she doesn’t know why Corey has joined. & I haven’t gotten that far yet. Tbh, when I got to that point of writing this episode, I literally just thought of her basically telling him that he’s fired. thank you btw. I usually get those but they slip my mind once in a while. Fern right now is not likable right now. He’s not at “omg. I need to kill him.” Rating yet. Lol.
