I apologize for skipping several episodes. While Ash and the other go on adventures, Winnie stayed behind to train her Pokémon and help Abbie with her fear of Fire Pokémon. Also, so there's no confusion; if a Pokémon can learn a move through a TM(through whatever generation), then it can use it.

My Pov

The Pokémon was tomorrow and was both excited and nervous. This whole time, I had been training not only my main team, but many of my other Pokémon too. Many of them had evolved at least once. I felt confident that I was ready. Everything that I had been preparing for, training for and working for was going to be put to the test.

"Winnie, are you excited for tomorrow?" Abbie asked as she settled into her bed. We had arrived at the Pokémon Center yesterday with Ash and the others. I had even actually gotten to carry the torch with Moltres's flame.

"Yeah. I just hope I have prepared enough." I said.

"You'll do great Winnie. You showed in your battle with me that even if you're at a disadvantage, you can turn the battle around." Brock said.

"Not only that, but you always come up with great strategies like you did in our battle. Misty added.

"Yeah Winnie. I've only seen you battle a few times, but you're probably one of the best Trainers I've seen." Ash said. Coming from Ash, that meant a lot.

"Thanks. I guess we'll see what's in store tomorrow." I said. I turned out the light and turned in.

Next Morning

I followed Ash and the others to the check-in desk. I handed the receptionist my Pokédex and she registered me.

"All right. Now, all that's left is to hit this button to decide where your first match will take place." the receptionist said. She tapped the button and got the light going. I waited for a second and then hit the button. The light slowed down and then stopped on the Rock Field. "So, your first match will be on the Rock Field. Now, the system will choose your opponent." The computer showed my picture and then the picture of a girl popped up. She had green hair and red eyes.

"So that's who I'm facing..." I said.

"Yes. Her name is Natasha. You'll be the fifth match. Be there by two." the receptionist said. I nodded and walked back over to the others. We witnessed Ash's battle and he single-handedly defeated Mandy with his newly evolved Kingler. Soon, it was my turn. I walked into the stadium from the green entrance and took my place in the Trainer's box. My opponent, Natasha, did the same.

"This is the fifth match, taking place on the Rock Field. It is Winnie Evos of Pallet Town facing Natasha of Celadon City. Both Trainers will use only three Pokémon. Now, let the battle begin!" the announcer said. The bell sounded and the match had begun.

"Let's see how well a Trainer from Pallet does. Go, Golem!" Natasha said, throwing her first PokéBall. It opened and revealed a Golem.

"Remy, you're up!" I said, throwing my first PokéBall. It opened to reveal my new Raticate. My Rattata, who I had caught at the very beginning had evolved during training.

"Natasha is starting with Golem while Winnie is starting with Raticate." the announcer said.

"Golem, Rock Throw!" Natasha commanded. Golem heaved itself in the air and came down toward Remy.

"Remy, leap out of the way!" I said. Remy jumped out of the way, just as Golem came down.

"Golem, Mega Punch!" Natasha commanded. Golem got up and charged toward Remy.
