"Oh, well that's great news, be careful out there & remember, your Pokemon is your friend and partner to the very end!" Said Maya strong, his mother.
"Alright sport, good luck, we know you wont let us or anyone down!" Said Danny Strong!
"Don't worry guys, I can do it! Also, I will bring John home, it's a promise!"
"Good, now get off the table."
A few years back, John Strong vanished one night without any trace or clue to where he was planning on going. After that day, Querxov made it his goal to bring him back home one day!
The next day...
Querxov traveled all by his lonesome along with the pair of running shoes his parents got him and captured all kinds of Pokemon in route one which ranged from Rattata, Bidoof, Ekans, Kricketot, Buneary, Shinx, Audino on occasion, so much variety! Then came his 1st ever trainer battle!
*You are challenged by youngster Mikey!*
*Youngster Mikey sent out Starly!*
"Woah, never seen that one before! GO Jenny the Snivy!"
When Starly was in the red zone of it's HP, Querxov threw a Pokeball! He thought he had caught it, but then it instantaneously popped out!
"What the? Hey, you can't capture another trainer's Pokemon, don't be a thief!" said Youngster Mikey.
*The opponent's Starly used tackle! It's a critical hit! Jenny fainted!*
"Oh-no! Jenny!"
"Hey, you have more Pokemon right?"
Yeah? So?"
"Use them genius!"
"Oh, right! After this, you gotta tell me where you got that Starly. GO Patrat!"
*Your Patrat used tackle! The opponent's Starly fainted!*
"Ugh, here's 10 bits now here's where I found the Starly!"
So Querxov traversed through to the other side of the Everfree Forest! On the way there, he ran into a woman named Zecora who gave him the old rod! When he got to the exit though...
"Ah, so there you are Querxov!"
"Huh?"
He looked to his left and saw it was Kragakai! (Play the Rival Hugh encounter theme. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lkw07p2q8zc )
"So, you've made it out of the forest as well huh?"
"Yeah, and it was quite exciting filling-up the Pokedex for the Dr. !"
"Yeah, but hey! Let's go a one-on-one battle!"
"Oh yeah, bring it on buddy!"
(Play this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuj_d2PvJP8 ) *You are challenged by PKMN Trainer Kragakai! PKMN Trainer Kragakai sent out Maria the Cyndaquil!*
"Alright, go, Jenny the Snivy!"
"Maria, use Leer!"
*Jenny's defense fell!*
"Jenny use Tackle!"
"Maria, jump, then use Ember!"
*It's super effective!*
"Jenny, use Vine Whip!"
"Maria, use Quick Attack!"
Though Maria struck Jenny swiftly, Jenny still landed the hit!
*It's not very effective!*
"What the? Hey Jenny, why do you look so exhausted?"
"You've been battling without healing her up, next time, spend the bits you earn for medical items at stores, I'll explain later, but right now, Maria finish this up with one final Quick Attack!"
*Your Jenny fainted.*
"Guess I win!"
"Here!" He gave him 12 bits, but he refused.
"Nah, keep 'em, let's do this again sometime alright? So the stores should be the man in the apron behind a counter in the Pokemon Centers. Oh, and next time, don't just focus on attacking, if you do, then the opponent will just see it as predictable! Try using your head 1st, and think of a strategy!" Then he walked away! Unknown to the both of them, a mysterious figure witnessed their 1st rival battle! So Querxov healed up Jenny at a Pokemon Center were he met Nurse Red Heart, and she showed a picture of all her clones. He then spent till the sunset fishing.
*Flashback!*
"Think of a strategy!" Is what echoed in Querxov's head. That's when he was approached.
"Howdy!"
"AH!"
He turned around to see a woman, who was about 4 years older than him. She was the color yellow, and she had long red hair. She wore an orange vest, the kind construction workers use. She wore a lime green shirt under that! she wore a hard hat. A pair of pants but the bottom were folded showing her big brown boots. also, she had a cape that I'm sure all of us recognize. Finally, she held a big ass wrench in one hand, the same hand she had her wedding ring on. The ring given to her must've belonged to a really amazing guy, because damn does it look expensive!
"The cape is a bit much lady."
She was then gonna pound him with his wrench.
"No, wait, wait, wait! I'm sorry!"
"That's much better, now tell me kid, what's got yah so bumbed?"
"Well, I lost to my Best Friend, and he says that I must think of a strategy in order to win all my future battles! Unfortunatley, I can't!"
"Hmm that's a shame, but I got an idea, why not go to Baltimare and take on the Gym there?" She suggested.
"Gym?"
"Yes, if you want to test your skills, then you must go to a gym and battle the Gym Leader there!"
"You are absolutely correct, I will go to Baltimare, and challenge the Baltimare Gym Leader, then I will be one step closer to being stronger & bringing my brother back home! Thanks lady..."
She mysteriously disappeared after that conversation. So now he set off to Baltimare. He remembered that after he did a errand for some old woman named Granny Smith, he was given an unlimited ticket to go to any where in the Equestria Region, he just had to present it to the ticket booth, and he'd be well on his way. He got onto the train and then slept that night to be ready for the Baltimare Gym!
