I'm pretty sure that's a Rotom drone.

Well I mean they are cheering for Marnie after all so the name makes sense. I wonder if they're gonna do what they did in S/M and have the Aethur Foundation kind of like the actual bad guys and Team Skull just be there.

Just making sure. Even though Obstagoon evolves from G.F. Linoone, is it still a G.F. or is it just a new Pokemon?

Well with the new batch of Pokemon that have been announced in the trailer today, we can add them to this list now. And I have to say that all of them interest me. But the 1 Pokemon that I really liked seeing there was Galarian Form Weezing. If a lot of you don't know, Weezing is in my Top 6 Favorite Pokemon. It actually is like my 6th favorite so it just makes it. But with this new Pokemon and it's now dual typing of Poison/Fairy, I think it's moved up a notch. Ohh. And this bad boy is definitely making it into my team.

It's either gonna be a little bit of the plot, the starter evolutions or the bad team and maybe a new Pokemon or 2 along with it.

& then once this 1 has ended, you have to start the other 1 up. XD

Haha. I'm not surprised by your cliffhangers anymore. In fact, I expect them. Lol. But nice episode! I've been wondering when another 1 would be coming out!

Omg! I thought the same thing with the nurse! Not evil scientist but definitely evil.

Probably just means he lost the nuzlocke.

I've been there before. It gets really fun and when you're officially in the game story, it gets even better. Gets severely more fun to write stuff.

Hello there fellow Pokemon Story Writer person... I need to come up with a better name for that. ANYWAYS, excellent start of the story. Loving the backstory to Zane so far. Definitely gonna be keeping an eye on this story as it progresses further. Awesome job!

It was more I thought before she was able to save Torkoal. I guess it was because if the wink and how uneasy Flannery felt afterwards that made me think that.

I finally got to the train station. This time, the officer that was in front of the entrance last time was gone. I walked through into the station and saw a familiar red head. It was Tesla. She turned around and noticed me. Tesla: Matthew! Matthew: Hey Tesla. What’s up? Did you find anymore people? Tesla: Unfortunately, no. I searched for a couple of hours but I couldn’t see anyone. Matthew: Damn. What a shame. Tesla: How are you hun? Are you feeling ok? Matthew: I mean I feel a little better than when we met earlier but… you know. Tesla: Well I’m glad you feel a little better at least. We shouldn’t lose hope! Your mother is still out there and we both must become stronger to rescue her. Matthew: Heh… Thanks Tesla. Tesla: No problem. So what are you doing? Matthew: Gonna go meet someone at Goldenwood Forest. Tesla: Ahh. Making friends. That’s a good thing to do. Especially at a time like this. Matthew: I suppose. I’m more or less doing this to get me and my team stronger. Tesla: That’s fine too. But you should take in the scenery of Goldenwood Forest. Honestly, it’s 1 of my favorite places in Aevium. The golden trees and the eternal smell of autum brings nostalgic memories… Matthew: So you really enjoy that place huh? Hehe. Tesla: Ohh… Sorry. Seems like I went on a small tangent there. I’ll make it up to you. Hold on. Tesla went up to the clerk and requested 1 ticket for the Goldenwood Forest. Tesla handed over money as the clerk handed her the ticket. She came back to me and handed over the ticket. Matthew: Ohh wow. Thanks. Tesla: It’s no problem really. And here. Take some of these too. -hands over a couple of potions- Matthew: Thank you but really. You didn’t have to do that. Tesla: Nonsense. I’d feel bad if I didn’t do that. Matthew: Well thanks Tesla. I appreciate it. Tesla: You’re welcome. But I have to go now Matthew. I promise we’ll see each other soon though. Bye. Matthew: Later Tesla. Tesla exited the train station. It felt good to have someone like her helping me cope with the situation of my mother. I boarded onto the train and was on my way to Goldenwood Forest. It took a little bit to get there but we finally got to the train stop. It was in Route 1 but to my understanding, the walk to Goldenwood Forest would only take a couple of minutes. As soon as I walked off the train, I could see what Tesla was talking about. The golden leaves on the trees were beautiful looking. As I walked along the pathway, I could see Melia waiting for me. Melia: There you are Matthew! You sure took your time. Matthew: Yea. Sorry about that. I had a battle with Ren before I came here. Melia: Ohh. That makes sense. Your probably his rival now. Matthew: What do you mean? Melia: When Ren meets someone that he enjoys battling, he’ll keep at it til he’s better than them. Matthew: Ahh. Well that makes sense. It’ll motivate him to train more at least. Melia: True. Well let’s go then. The 2 of us walked up north. It just a couple of minutes, the 2 of us were in Goldenwood Forest. It looked more like a park of some sorts than a forest to me. Matthew: So… this is Goldenwood Forest huh? Melia: Yes. Although, it looks more like a park right? Matthew: Exactly what I was thinking. Melia: Well, there’s work to be done. But before work, why don’t we enjoy ourselves for a bit here? Matthew: I suppose. I’ll be more relaxed. Melia: Good. Let’s have fun together! The 2 of us then started the fun. Spending time with her was actually quite enjoying. We watched as a lot of Vivillon were flying about in the trees. Then, we helped a fisherman catch a Magikarp which was quite hilarious. Next, I watched as Melia enjoyed the sight of some flowers. However, a lady wasn’t happy with us being so close to them. So we got away from that area so we wouldn’t anger her anymore. Next, we fed some Finneon in the lake. It was nice seeing the little Water Pokemon enjoying the fish food we were giving them. As we were going to the place where Melia was supposed to go, we saw another Vivillon on the bridge. It came up to us and started to dance around the air. It was quite entertaining. After that, we walked upwards more. When we came to a sign, Melia read it and seemed pleased. Melia: Alright! We’re here! Matthew: Awesome!… Where are we going? Melia: Ohh right. I never told you. We’re going into Goldenwood Cave. Come on. Come on. Let’s go. Melia ran up and entered the entrance of the cave. I was a bit taken aback with how excited she was about being here but I was kind of excited myself. Or trying to anyways. I went up and entered the cave myself. I met Melia on the inside of the cave. Melia: Welcome to the Goldenwood Cave Matthew! Matthew: Well it’s nice in here. I’ll give you that. Melia: That’s not all. Ohoho. This is where things get interesting. Matthew: You’re really excited about being here aren’t you? Melia:Of course I am! Aren’t you? Matthew: Ehh… Yea. I am. Melia: I’m sure you’ve heard that Goldenwood Forest is a training ground for newbie trainers, right? Matthew: Yes… Although, I’m not a newbie trainer. Melia: Well either way, this is where everyone gathers to train to become stronger. Matthew: So they come here huh? Nice. My team could use some training. Melia: But people don’t usually come here by themselves. They’re usually here with their friends. You won’t find anyone battling by themselves. Matthew: So a lot of double battles? Melia: Mhm. But hey! You won’t be by yourself! You have me! We’ll team up and take this cave by storm! Matthew:… Melia: What? Matthew: Ren did that earlier when we were about to go through the sewers and it was awkward. Melia: Ohh. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make this awkward… Matthew: It’s not. That’s why I’m puzzled. Melia: Ohh! Well… good then right? Matthew: It is. Come on. Let’s go! The 2 of us ventured further into the cave. We had a couple of battles while going through the cave. It was interesting to see some of the Pokemon she had. So far, what Venam said about Melia having a team of shinies was true. She had a shiny Buneary and Eevee. They were different colored as well. We finally made it to the end of the cave. There seemed to be some kind of inscriptions on the wall. Melia: Looks like we’ve finally made it. Matthew: What exactly are you supposed to be doing here anyways? Melia: My father wanted me to take some pictures of this. But… is this really what he wanted me to look at? Matthew: I mean it seems simple enough. Melia: Yea… I know I’m not strong enough to do more jarring tasks, but this is a little insulting. Matthew: Heh. So are you saying you’re stronger than that? Melia: Of course! -sighs- Ohh well. No use complaining about it! Let’s just get to work and finish this up. Melia set down the briefcase and opened it up. She picked up a camera and started to take pictures of the wall. After a couple of pics, she turned around and surprised me with taking a picture of me. Matthew: Ahh! Could have given me a warning 1st! Melia: Hehe. Sorry. But that’ll be enough picture taking for now. Still… it’s strange for my father to send me off to check something like inscriptions. Usually I just study actual Pokemon behavior and stuff like that. Matthew: Maybe it’s important? Melia: I don’t know. I mean the writing here is practically illegible. Melia stepped forward towards the wall and touched it but as she did that, the ground started to shake and an entrance appeared before us. We were both a little shocked at what just happened. Matthew: The fuck was that?! Melia: All I did was touch the wall! Why did the ground shake?! And this hole in the wall! Why did it just appear all of a sudden?! Matthew: I have no clue Melia. That whole experience was just… crazy. Melia: It was and it’s… so worth it! Matthew: Huh? Melia: We found a secret passageway deep within the depths of Goldenwood Cave! This is so… Matthew: Awesome? Melia: Yes! Exactly! Well come on! We can’t let a discovery like this slip through our fingers! Melia picked up the briefcase and zoomed into the entrance. I was entertained at how excited she was with this discovery. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested as well. I walked in through the new entrance and then through another hole and was back outside. I had no idea where I was. I followed the path until I saw a blanket on the ground. I was a bit confused until I saw Melia come out from behind a tree. She seemed quite pleased with herself. Melia: Ta-da.~ Matthew: Haha. What is all of this? Melia: Well I thought we’d have a little picnic here. Matthew: A picnic? Well… I haven’t eaten anything for a while. Melia: Plus, isn’t this place beautiful? This place isn’t on a map or anything. Matthew: Is that so. That’s gotta mean something. Melia: I think so too! I think we’ve discovered a completely new area! This region is less than a century old. So there very well may be some places we haven’t discovered. I believe that we’ve accomplished a lot today and at least deserve a celebration! Matthew: I’m down for it! The 2 of us got the food and drinks out, sat down on the blanket and began eating. We started to talk about our lives. I left out the part about what happened earlier today because I didn’t want to bring down the mood. Melia: Today has been 100%- Matthew: Awesome. Melia: Yes! Exactly! The experiment worked and we also found this place! By the way, have you noticed the Arceus statue back there? Matthew: I have but it doesn’t really interest me. Melia: I can’t help but wonder why it’s back here. And all of these Vivillon are surrounding us… I believe they’re called “Butterflies of Fate?” Matthew: That’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard of in my life. Melia: I feel like a day like this only comes once a year. Matthew: -under my breath- It better only happen once. Melia: Also a day where you make another life-long friend. Matthew: Ohh. Wow. You consider me a life-long friend? Melia: Of course I do. Matthew: Well… thanks Melia. That’s nice of you to say. You know, I’m glad I came with you here. It’s been pretty fun. Melia: I’m glad you came along as well Matthew. You’ve made this day a memorable 1. You know… this will be my last memory on Foria Island. Matthew: Uhh… Why? Melia: The day after tomorrow, I leave for Grand Dream City. Matthew: Ohh yea? For what? Melia: I’m becoming the Normal-Type Gym Leader there. I started choking on the food I was swallowing when Melia was finishing her sentence. I didn’t expect her to say that. She helped me get the food down my throat. Melia: Are you ok?! Matthew: Yea. I just wasn’t expecting that response from you. You’re a Gym Leader?! Melia: Well more like a Gym Leader In Training. But I guess it shouldn’t be surprised that someone like me is going to be a Gym Leader. Matthew: I’m not saying you shouldn’t be. Just not expected. Melia: I’m sorry for not telling you before. Matthew: It’s ok. Although, I wouldn’t have chocked on food if you told me before. Haha. Melia: Hehe. Probably not. But, I’ll be going alone. Ren will still be working with my father and Venam will be doing her Gym Leader duties. Matthew: Wait. Venam is a Gym Leader as well?! Melia: Mhm. Her Gym is in East Gearen City. Matthew: Ohh. That’s the gym I saw while exploring the city then. But I’m sorry. I know how it feels to… leave friends behind. Melia: I’m also gonna be thrown into a city I don’t know much about. I’m kind of scared. Matthew: It’ll be ok. I’m in the same bo- err, train here. This is my 1st day here. Melia: Ohh really? You seem so calm though. Matthew: Well… I’m trying to be calm. At the very least, I feel very anxious because I don’t really know anything about this place. But thanks to you and Jenner and Venam and Ren… I’ve gotten more comfortable here. Melia: Wow… That’s really touching. Thank you for those kind words Matt. Matthew: It’s no problem. Melia: Hey Matthew? Matthew: Yea? Melia: Do you have anywhere to go after this? Matthew: I mean I would like to get my 1st badge but after that, I don’t know where I’d go. Melia: I see. Well maybe after that… Would you come with me? Matthew: Uhh… I mean… I don’t know… Melia: Oh! Oh my gosh. I’m sorry. Nevermind. That’s a really big question for someone I only just met. Matthew: It’s ok. Just I think I’d like to explore all of the region. But I’m sure I’d have to go there sometime! Melia: Yes. Yes. Of course… Matthew, fight me. Matthew: I beg your pardon? Melia: I mean in a Pokemon Battle. Not like fist fight. Matthew: Ohh! Yea sure! I’d love to! Melia: Great! I’m going to become a Gym Leader! So this training will help me grow as 1! Matthew: I have 4 Pokemon. Hopefully that’s not too much. Melia: It’s not. In fact, that’s perfect! This’ll be a 4-on-4 Pokemon Battle! Melia and I got up and stood a couple of feet apart from each other. Melia closed her eyes and raised her head up towards the sky. Melia: Matthew, today has been 1 of the best days ever, but it’s time for me to get serious now. While I do love to play the researcher and all… Battling is where my soul is. And I just won’t let you beat me. At least not without a fight! Matthew: I expect nothing less from you Melia. Let’s do this! The 2 of us grabbed our PokeBalls and threw out our Pokemon. The battle was pretty tough. I could see why she was going to become a Normal-Type Gym Leader. The battle was back and forth. I got to see the rest of her shiny team as well. That was exciting for me to see as well. When the battle was done, I was the 1 that was victorious. We both returned our Pokemon back to our PokeBalls. Melia looked down towards the ground. But then she smiled and looked up at me. Melia: Thanks for the battle Matthew. It seems as though I’ve still got a long way to go. Matthew: Hey. You did pretty well. I’m sure when you’re a proper Gym Leader, you’ll be even more difficult to defeat. Melia: Hehe. Thanks Matthew. Melia cleaned up everything from the blanket and asked me to help her roll up the blanket. I obliged and went on the opposite side of her. But just as we were about to roll the blanket up, a weird green lighting could be seen up in the sky. Then suddenly, a huge explosion could be heard. The ground beneath us shook. We couldn’t believe what just happened. Matthew: What the fuck was that huge ass explosion?! Melia: I have no idea but it sounded like it came from Goldenwood Forest! We have to go back there immediately! Matthew: Don’t have to tell me twice! Melia ran ahead of me and was quickly out of that area. I started to run to the forest too but when I got to the cave entrance, a wild Absol appeared. I didn’t know why it was there but then I remembered that Absol was called the Disaster Pokemon. The Absol looked at me and then ran back up the hill. I started to run through the cave but I was scared of what I might find when I came out on the other side.
