The Pokeringer 2,

Dawn and Mamoswine

And The Cheeky Snover

One day the gang were walking through a mountain valley. Ash, Tomo and Dawn were in good moods because they had each caught a brand new pokemon. Ash caught himself a shiny Metagross, Tomo caught himself a Stunky and Dawn caught herself a Chatot. (The captures happened during the time Jessie, James and Meowth left Team Rocket) The gang had heard about a wild shiny Metagross in a mountain area and Ash wanted to catch it. Ash had to get his Houndoom from Prof Oak's lab as Houndoom was the perfect pokemon for battling Metagross. Metagross was very strong but Houndoom and Pikachu managed to defeat it together. As for Tomo's and Dawn's captures they encountered the two pokemon fighting over some berries in a clearing. Of course Dawn and her Piplup stepped in by telling the two pokemon to stop fighting, and then she sorted out the berries into a fair share. During the excitement Chatot kept on copying Dawn's words, which the boys found very amusing. Dawn found Chatot really cute and decided at once to have it for herself. Tomo really liked Stunky and decided to catch it. So Ash, Tomo and Dawn were happy because of their new captures.

Just then the gang noticed a town and Brock explained from the guide book it was called Squallville Town. Suddenly a strong gust of wind picked up and Piplup went flying. But Dawn caught him quickly before he flew away completely. "It says here you have to be careful of the gusts of winds here in Squalville" said Brock. "Hey look at that over there" said Tomo, pointing to the sky. There was a Yanmega and Swablu flying towards some rings that were floating on some baloon in the sky. "Hey it's pokeringer" said Ash, recognizing the sport at once. "You're right" said Brock. The gang went to get a closer look and sure enough there was a man and a boy practicing pokeringer. "So they hold Pokeringer competitions here in Sinnoh too" said Ash. "Excuse me but what's pokeringer?" asked Dawn. The boys explained to Dawn what pokeringer was and Ash explained how he won the pokeringer competition in Crossgate Town in the Hoenn region. "This pokeringer thing sounds like fun" said Dawn.

Down on the ground a man who owned Yanmega was practicing pokeringer with a boy who owned Swablu. Yanmega placed the ring on a hook and won. "You see you need to pay attention and rely on the gusts of wind" the man said to the boy. "I will beat you in the competition" said the boy, and he left. The man petted his Yanmega. "Keep this up Yanmega and we may win the competition" he said. Just then the gang ran up to him. "Hello, what are you kids doing here?" the man said. "Pardon us sir," said Ash "but is a pokeringer competition happening in this town?" "Yes the pokeringer tournament is being held here in Squalville Town today" said the man. "Wow so we got here just in time then" said Brock. "Oh are you kids interested in participating in the pokeringer tournament?" asked the man. "I defiantly am" said Ash. "Me too" said Tomo. "Count me in too" said Dawn. Of course Piplup wanted to be in it, but as he couldn't fly he couldn't be in it. "Sorry Piplup," said Dawn "but this is a job for Chatot". Piplup sulked. "Well I'll be seeing you kids in the competition then," said the man "oh but you'll need to watch out for a trainer named Provo. He has won the pokeringer four times in a row with his Dragonite". "That's not going to stop me from winning" said Ash. "Same here" said Tomo.

Later on it was almost time for the pokeringer to start. Ash, Tomo and Dawn signed up to enter at once. "I can't believe how huge this competition is" said Dawn. "Well if you win this you become an honorary citizen of the hosting town" said Brock. "Not only that but the winner and the pokemon it entered with have their picture placed on a board with previous pokeringer winners where they stay forever," said Ash "you also receive a certificate too my Crossgate Pokeringer certificate is hanged up in my room". "What a lovely prize" said Dawn. She hoped she could win and get her picture up on the board and get the certificate to hang up in her room. Apparently there was another prize for Squalville's winner; a big supply of pokemon food.
