Sage was standing on Nugget bridge as she was gazing at the water below as she normally she would be smiling and playing with Pokemon's or training them but the mood felt somber especially since Butterfree was no longer on the team.
Sage remembered when she had caught Butterfree when it was a Caterpie as the little Caterpillar was determined to fight which lead it to evolve when facing Brick and Nova who are from Team Rocket.
Many people would often said the Caterpie evolutionary line is weak but it was because of Metapod evolving into Butterfree that Sage was able to earn the Boulder Badge.
But as Sage sat there, she reminded herself that Butterfree wasn't gone forever as the bug Pokémon had been sent to Professor Oak ranch where it would have a better life and hopefully somewhere down the line Butterfree can return to Sage team.
With a deep breath, Sage began feeling happy as she was determined to get stronger in honour of Butterfree as Sage decided to check her team move set.
Sage pulled out her Rotom Phone and opened up her team's status as she was carefully reviewing their moves.
Charmeleon, Pikachu, Pidgeotto, Espeon and Squirtle had all grown so much and Sage couldn't be prouder as each of them had incredible techniques and their bond was only getting stronger.
Charmeleon: Fire Fang, Metal Claw, Fire Tail, Growl
Pikachu: Thunder Punch, Quick Attack, Double Team, Iron Tail
Pidgeotto: Gust, Air Cutter, Gale Slash, Quick Attack
Espeon: Confusion, Swift, Psychic Ball, Hyper Voice, Sand Attack
Squirtle: Aqua Jet, Water Gun, Bite, Tackle
My team is getting stronger" Sage thought proudly as she knew it was only a matter of time until she was ready to challenge Kanto league.
