1.Ash's Story (Part 3: Hoenn)

Chapter 19

When we are traveling, we meet two reporters who are named Gaby and Ty. They want to battle us so that they can have an interview with us, so Minami and I are the ones who battle them. They both use Magneton and Loudred, and we evolve our Linoone to defeat them in the end.

Linoone: The Rushing Pokemon: Normal Type. Evolve from Zigzagoon at LV:20. When hunting, Linoone will make a beeline straight for the prey at a full run. While this Pokémon is capable of topping 60 mph, it has to come to a screeching halt before it can turn.

"Okay, I need you to describe your feelings about our battle, but it has to be short and sweet. Go!" When Gaby asks me this, I answer that I'm feeling excited to battle new Pokemon and also thinking of new strategies.

"Mmm, yeah! That's the perfect clincher! I get the feeling that this will make a great TV show. There's a chance that they'll air this on TV, so make sure to look for us! Okay! We'll be seeing you!" Then they leave, and Max says, "Looks like you're going to be more famous."

"I'm already famous, I guess this is not going to help us..." I sigh.

We also train up our Pokemon and some of Minami's Pokemon are also evolving into their second forms, like Loudred and Kirlia, and I also evolve Whismur into a Loudred as well.

Loudred: The Big Voice Pokemon: Normal Type. Evolve from Whismur at LV:20. Loudred shouts while stamping its feet. After it finishes shouting, this Pokémon becomes incapable of hearing anything for a while. This is considered to be a weak point.

"Now we're here, Route 112." Minami says as we notice Mt. Chimney in front of us. And there is also someone who's waiting for us. Brendan.

"Hm? So it's you guys. You see that mountain up there? That's Mt. Chimney." Brendan says.

"Of course, I know that mountain so well." I say.

"I dunno, but... But seeing it for real is, like... Like a punch in the gut, you know? Hope I might get to take the Cable Car up to the top someday... Hey, guys, doesn't your team seem a bit worse for wear? Here. I'll help them out for you."

He offers to heal our Pokemon, and we are grateful for that. "And why don't you take this?"

He decides to give us the HM for Strength, which is another TM that I already have it. "I bet you can find all kinds of ways to use it in the mountains that lie ahead! Oh... But it won't work out here if you don't have a Badge from Lavaridge Gym. Bah! This is no time to be giving you tricks! I'm supposed to be heading to Fallarbor to visit Professor Cozmo right now! See you later, guys. Next time let's have a battle, OK?"

After he leaves, May asks, "Who's Professor Cozmo?"

"He's a scientist living in Fallabar Town." I say. "He likes to research in space stuff."

"Guys! Look over there!" We notice some Team Magma grunts are riding on the Cable Car. "Team Magma? What are they doing here?"

"I don't know..." Alice says. "And we're not even going to that way as well, we're heading to Fallabar Town for May's Contest, remember?"

"Yeah, as long as they aren't doing something, we can just ignore them." Minami says.

After we get inside the Fiery Path, May looks around and says, "Wow, this place looks hot."

Mark says, "It is a place where we can find some fire Pokemon. Of course, it is hot."

Minami says, "What will we find here?"

Max says, "Let's check it out."

We encounter a bunch of Numel and Camerupt, and they attack us because they think we are intruders, after we calm them down, Team Rocket tries to take all of them, but we know how terrible the Camerupt's Eruption is because of Vicky Winstrate, and they are all sent flying. Then two Numel decide to join Mark and I.
