Our Heroes are on the Battle Field of the Pokémon Center they stayed at the previous night, Minion and Mario were about to get a battle started

"Alright! It's time for you're Big Debut!" Minion giggled looking at the Pokeball in her hand "Chimchar! Let's do it!" She giggled again, tossing the ball up and it opened, revealing the small Fire Monkey Pokémon

"Chim! Chimchar!" It cheered it's name as it appeared 

"Aww, She chose Chimchar!" Luigi chuckles

"Chimchar, Huh?" 3 pulled out his Pokedex and scanned Chimchar

"Chimchar, The Chimp Pokémon, A Fire Type! It is very agile. Before going to sleep, it extinguishes the flame on its tail to prevent fires. It agilely scales sheer cliffs to live atop craggy mountains" The Pokedex spoke

3 hummed with a small smile as he put the Dex away "Wonder how Tepig will fare against another Fire Type..."

"Now! You're Turn!" Mario tossed his Pokeball up "Tepig! Come out!"

Tepig appeared, fire escaping from it's nose "Pig!"

"3! 3! 3! 3! 3! 3! 3! 3! 3! Thre-" Minion chants

"Yeah, Kid?" 3 stops her with a chuckle 

"Do the thing!" She says, Excitedly, Bouncing in her spot "Do the Referee thing! Do the Battle begin thing! Oooh! And tell us who gets first move!"

3 stood up, standing on the side of battle Field. He held his arm out to Minion's Side "Minion and Chimchar get the first move!" He turned that hand into a fist and raised it up "Ready? Now..." He threw that arm out to the side and opened his hand "Battle Begin!"

"Yes Yes Yes! Let's do it!" Minion points forward "Chimchar use Scratch!"

"Chim!" Chimchar starts running at Tepig 

"Tepig! Counter with Tail Whip!" Mario calls out

Smg4 smiles sheepishly, looking at 3 and Luigi "I never understood the passion for battling..."

"You just need to find your reason to battle" Luigi hums, scrolling through the map on his phone causing the two others to look at him confused "Mario has decided to Battle for fun, which is why an Energetic Fire Type like Tepig is perfect for him"

3 looks at 4 "That may be the same with Minion, Chimchar is also an energetic Fire Type..."

Luigi looked at Scorbunny on his lap and pet it "I want to battle to become stronger, I don't want Mario to have to protect me forever, I want to be able to fight for myself. And Scorbunny's Fiery Passion is definitely giving me that motivation"

"Scorbun!" Scorbunny climbed on his shoulder and nuzzled it's cheek against Luigi's who chuckles

Smg4 looks down "My reason to battle..." He mumbles

"Eh, I'm only battling to prove I'm stronger than 4 and FM as well as 'Team Shroom'" 3 puts simply 

Luigi looks back at his phone 

"You're already better than me! You can Battle AND You aren't afraid of Pokemon" 4 pouts

"WESTERN SPAGHETTI!" Luigi gasped

"Huh?" 3 and 4 look at him confused

Luigi turns his phone around to show them the map and the pictures "The Area around the Western Spaghetti Area are Chock Full of Rock, Ground, and Dark Type Pokemon! We can definitely find a decent team there" He swiped the screen and it showed an Inkling with an Inkay by his side and a Medel in his hand "It's also one of the First Sites of the MK Battle Cup Tournament, Four Winners from this Site move onto the next Site for the next round" 

"I'm totally down for something like that!" 3 grins, Looking up at his Ralts who was on his head "What do you say, Ralts?"

"Ra! Ra!" Ralts nods quickly

"I wouldn't mind checking that place out" 4 agrees with a smile 

"Ra!" Mei smiles

"Alright, then it's settled" Luigi turns off his phone with a smile "Western Spaghetti it is!"

"Awww Man!" A huff was heard from Minion, the Trio look up to see Chimchar Fainted and Tepig pretty beaten up

Smg3 chuckles, standing up and holding his hand up "Chimchar is Unable to Battle!" He gestures to Mario "Which means Mario and Tepig win!"

"Oh Yeah!" Mario cheers as Tepig ran up to him, he kneeled down to pet it "You did so well, Thank you Tepig!"

"Tepig!" Tepig smiles

Minion smiled, holding out Chimchar's Pokeball "You did Great Chimchar, take a nice rest, kay?" Chimchar went back into the Pokeball and Eevee nuzzled against her cheek from her shoulder and she giggles, petting it "I know, We did better than last time..."

Mario picked up Tepig and looked at Luigi "So, Where are we heading bro?"

"An Area called Western Spaghetti, It'll have some pretty good Pokémon around those Parts to build up a decent Team" Luigi replies

Minion Squeals "THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN!!! LET'S GO! LET'S GO!" She giggles, jumping up and down

"VEE! VEE!" Eevee cheers too

"I hope they have lotsa Spaghetti!" Mario laughs

4  chuckles "Well, Let's heal up Tepig and Chimchar and head for the Train station!"

They all head inside and they all end up healing their Pokémon

~~~

They soon arrived at the Station, just as the train was pulling in

"I told you we would get lost if we went that way!" 3 says

"But look! We made it!" Luigi tells him as they got onto the Train, the doors close behind them and they all pant. Luigi smiled sheepishly "I was hoping the shortcut would work..."

"Mario's hungry, can we get food now please?" Mario asks

"Me too! Me Too!" Minion chants, raising her hand

Eevee and Tepig chatter in agreement

4 chuckles "Sure, We did skip breakfast today...Let's get something to eat"

The group heads to the dining car and Luigi notices two familiar faces at a Booth with a Clobbopus and Froakie on the Table

"Meggy? Desti?" He says

Meggy and Desti look up from their menus and smile
