Jun finished the walk into Violet City, eggs and two newly-filled pokeballs bouncing on his hip, Yuuta's words simmering in the back of his head. He hadn't realized how deep in s**t he was, how furious Benny was. The thought that his old boss would just...forget about him had been so naive.
Team Rocket only really had a presence in Johto and Kanto. Was it really that simple? To just... leave? The thought of abandoning his home region scared Jun more than he'd like to admit. He may have moved around a lot in his life, but Johto was home.
Probably shouldn't have gotten on the bad side of Team Rocket if he wanted it to stay that way.
Well, actions had consequences, didn't they? Maybe he should just suck it up and accept it. Anyways, leaving wasn't as bad as getting caught.

Lucille, Samson, Lil Gena, and the helmet soon found themselves in the sunlight of a mid-morning day on the outskirts of Violet City. Lucille looked up at the sky, and was glad to see it once again. We made it! Thank goodness! The girl found a nice patch of grass to flop herself onto, and let the sunshine warm her up. Maybe this sun with help me charge back up..boy, am I pooped! As if on queue, the helmet moved to Lucille, a hovering but a foot off of the ground. And may I say, my apologies once again, my lady, she said. Lucille was startled, and rolled over to make some distance. She blushed, and scratched the back of her head, embarrassed. I'm sorry, Helmy-chan, I'm still not used to you being around and talking to me telepathically! The helmet cocked itself to the right. ...Helmy-chan? Lucille nodded, and beamed at Helmy-chan. Well, I thought if I gave you a cute, harmless name, I wouldn't be afraid of you anymore, eheheh... Helmy-chan shook, the only way it could show frustration. I was a proud warrior, my lady! I shant be called something as silly as Helmy-chan! My name is...
... ...Well, I'm sure whatever it was, it was more dignified than Helmy-chan! Lucille silently giggled, and found the courage to pat Helmy-chan. Well, we'll call you Helmy-chan until you remember, okay?
Before Helmy-chan could debate the issue, a Sneasel came out of the cave, coming for Lucille and the others. Also, a Bellsprout shuffled towards them; it would seem Lucille had disturbed its favorite sunbathing spot. Samson growled and prepared to take care of it, but Helmy-chan hovered in between them, staring down the two foes. Hold your action, noble hound. Allow me to redeem myself in combat! Samson decided to let the Helmition do so, but was more than ready to step in if needed. Have at thee! Helmy-chan spoke with great honor, even when her only attack was to slam herself into the two foes with loud thunk. She took very little damage from the pair, and ended up trouncing them both with her metal body. Once the two pokemon fled, Helmy-chan addressed Lucille. I pray my combat pleased up, my lady.
Unfortunately, Lucille hadn't seen any of it, as she had fallen asleep in the warm sun. Oh dear...well then, shall we pull her out of the sun, lest she burn her fair skin? Samson nodded, and grabbed Lucille gently with his paw, and pulled her under a shady tree. He too curled up to rest. Helmy-chan watched the pair for a moment, before realizing that Gena was staring at her. I suppose we shall keep watch, young gator? Gena answered her by chomping on to her metal body. Oh dear.

When Lucille woke up from her much-needed nap, she saw Helmy-chan, fast at work with two would-be attackers. Now, the hoppip just seemed to be the product of wandering too close to the helmet's new liege, but the vullaby was really trying to get at the girl to peck on her. Take that! And that! Think me not weak because I have not arms to strike you with, you fiends! She had just delivered the finishing blow to the vullaby by ramming right into the bony protected posterior, which made the bird yelp and waddle away, its wings to small to fly. Come face me, you craven cowards! Lucille provided Helmy-chan with some polite applause, and beckoned for the helmet to come to her. You're all dirty, the mute stated. C'mere so I can get you cleaned up,Helmy-chan. The bodyless warrior nodded, and hovered over.
Lucille produced a wash rag from her backpack, and got Gena to get it wet with water gun. Then, she started to wipe away all of the dirt and grime from Helmy-chan. Ah, tres magnifique! You honor me, mistress." Lucille blushed and shook her head. Nah, don't call me something like that! That's too much! Helmy-chan nodded. Yes, of course my lady. Lucille blushed even harder, but decided to let it go. Instead, she had an important question for the ghost. So, you can talk to me...can you talk to Pokemon, too? Helmy-chan turned around to face her lady, her visor looking up at the girl. But of course, my lady, she replied. I can speak to human and Pokemon alike, with no real effort. Why do you ask, my lady? Lucille scrubbed a stubborn set of dirt clods from Helmy-chan's visor before posing her plan. Well, I'm mute, so I can't just shout out moves and strategies. I'm pretty good at using snaps and hand signs to give orders to Samson and Gena, but you should be able to help me give specific directions, right? Helmy-chan gave out a noble chortle. Hon hon hon! My lady is a rather clever one, I see! As I owe you my very afterlife for saving me from rusting in that dreadful cave, I would be honored to be your second in command! Lucille smiled and clapped her hands. Great! Now, first things first! Let's see what Gena and Samson are thinking! Ask them, please!
Helmy-chan looked over at the two Pokemon, and after a moment, Helmy-chan looked back up to her lady. My lady, they are hungry, and would like some lunch! Lucille gave an inaudible "oh!" and quickly got up. I was expecting something more interesting...but oh well! Let's go get some food!
Hearing Aiden greet her, Natalia couldn't help feeling somewhat startled. I thought you said I'd been using a different name? Natalia quietly thought to Nyomii. Aiden knows your real name. I'll explain later. Though you did request that he only use it when you were alone. Natalia nodded slowly. "Why wouldn't I call you back ASAP? I didn't want you to worry~" Natalia insisted. "I took a role, and I have seven of my pokemon, but it looks like ten are missing.... Keep an eye out for them for me will you?" Natalia pleaded, nodding with a light sigh as he pointed out that she might have to recover her things along the way, if at all. "Heh... Yeah, that's the last time I leave my bag unbuttoned before suddenly getting sucked through time-space." Natalia joked lightly, though her cheeks grew warm as Aiden confessed how worried he'd been and grateful that she was okay. Left speechless, Natalia was glad he quickly suggested that the two gyms should be a breeze. "Yeah. I'll catch up again." Natalia agreed, though she hesitated as Aiden insisted he would wait for her and train in Ilex Forest. "Y-yeah... Sounds good. I'll see you then." She felt slimy for telling such a bold-faced lie, but hung up nonetheless. They were in Violet City, and Natalia was ready to try and get her Zephyr Badge back.
"You're going to break that poor boy's heart." Nyomii insisted matter-of-factly. "He'll get over it. Better to suffer a temporary emotional wound than permanent damage." Natalia insisted. "Hmph. Good to see you're recovering so quickly." Natalia frowned. "What's that supposed to mean?""What makes you think abandoning him will only make him suffer temporarily?" Natalia wrinkled her nose. Nyomii was dodging the question, but she was making a good point. "You probably don't remember right now, but as a child, you had a friend named Isis." The name did ring a bell. Natalia could just make out a blonde perky girl in a school uniform. "What does that have to do with anything?""You pushed her away when things got difficult, a bad habit you still seem to have I might add, and now she's still saddened by your disappearance, still chasing the ghost of you. Do you really want to do that to Aiden too?" Natalia grimaced and kept walking. "It isn't right, and you know it.""I'll tell you what isn't right. Waking up without any memories of who you are only to discover you're a criminal, a murderer, and then going around pretending to so-called friends pretending that everything is just peachy because they can't know the truth." Natalia snapped. "Given the choice, I think leaving them in the dark is better than watching me get arrested, or worse, all of us getting killed for things that I don't even know that I've done!!!" She hissed. Was it really so hard to see her logic in the matter?
"Natalia...." Nyomii sighed. "I never said it would be easy. I know it's scary, I know that you're upset, but running away from your problems won't solve them, it's just taking the easy way out. You're making decisions for other people instead of giving them the ability to choose for themselves." Nyomii insisted. "Of course it would be terrible for Aiden to be killed because he got involved with your darker past. No one's arguing that with you. However, if you gave him the chance, he might be willing to take that risk if it meant helping and protecting you, and staying by your side." She explained gently. "But.... I don't want him to make that choice. I don't want anyone to risk their lives for me.... I'm... Not worth it.""And if he believes otherwise?""Then he's wrong." Natalia said flatly. "Stubborn as always. This is why I don't argue with you." Nyomii sighed, walking on ahead. "Come on then. The gym is this way." Natalia blinked in surprise, not expecting Nyomii to have given up, but if it meant the conversation was over, then she was more than happy to leave things there.

As they approached the gym, Natalia quietly planned for the upcoming battle. "Falkner.... Uses flying types, right?" She asked. "Correct." Nyomii answered curtly. It was clear she was still slightly miffed about their argument earlier, but Natalia ignored her tone in the interest of getting the information she needed. "So I should use electric types." Natalia glanced to Nyomii for confirmation. "There are two problems with that. First, your rotom is strong but unpredictable. It may not obey you in a battle, especially now that you've lost your badges. Second, your mareep hasn't been trained, so if you're looking to breeze through these gyms quickly without training any first, it's not an option." Nyomii pointed out. "Alright, what would you recommend, then?" Nyomii glanced back at Natalia and quirked a brow, as if quietly questioning why Natalia felt like taking her advice now. Rather than starting another argument though, the espeon gave her question some thought. "Nikolai and Wisp are grass types, so it wouldn't be a good idea to use them against flying types. I suppose you could use Blaze. She seems ready and raring for a fight, and she's also strong and obedient... Most of the time."('I heard that!') Blaze barked indignantly as Nyomii and Natalia chuckled.
"What about you?" Nyomii tilted her head as if considering something. "Well... I suppose if worse came to worse I could step in. Just remember, I'm a teacher, not a fighter." She chuckled. "We also have..... Him." Nyomii frowned, not liking the idea of that absol fighting anything. "A last resort." Natalia reassured her. "Even then, I'd prefer that he not be that. Who knows what sort of havoc he'd wreak." She huffed. "I'm sure that between you and Blaze, we have this covered." Natalia reassured her, making her way into the gym..... Which was.... Empty? "Oh... Is it closed today?""No... It should be open. The doors are unlocked and there's no notice saying anything about the gym being closed...." Nyomii frowned. Stepping farther in, Natalia called out into the dark gym. "Hellooooo!?!"
Click.
They froze. Click click click."What is that?" Natalia looked puzzled. "I know that sound.... Maybe I heard it last time I was--WAIT!" Natalia braced herself as the platform they stood on suddenly rushed upward. "EEEEEK!" Nyomii screeched, claws digging into the wood to keep her from flying off. Eventually, when they reached the roof of the gym, the platform slowed to a stop by plexiglass panels leading out to Falkner. "Enjoy the ride you two?""NO!""NO!" Natalia and Nyomii answered in unison. "This is hardly safe, young man! How dare you! I nearly had a heart attack!" The espeon chided as Natalia walked out onto the panels. "Arceus. I remembered what was going to happen but I still can't get used to that contraption...." She shook the fluttery feeling off, getting down to brass tacks.
"Remembered? Have you been here before?" Falkner inquired curiously. "Yeah, about two years ago... Long story short, I lost the badges I'd collected, so I'm here to request a new one.""Ah... Well I can't really just give out badges without you earning them. Not that I don't believe you, but I don't remember battling you. If you really are telling the truth, then battle me and win." He shrugged. Natalia glanced back to Nyomii, whose claws were still stuck fast in the wood. "....Well...?" Nyomii looked disgruntled. "I... I don't like heights." She admitted reluctantly as Natalia walked over and stroked her head reassuringly. "Alright. Don't worry, Blaze and I can handle this." Sure enough, the quilava raced ahead excitedly, raring to go.
Falkner released his pidgey to face them first. "Let's start things off with a quick attack!" He commanded, sending the small bird after Blaze before Natalia could even get a command out. ('Ow! Why you little....!') The quilava rubbed her face and launched a ring of fire back in retaliation, practically burning the poor bird to a crisp. "Woah! Return!" Falkner quickly swapped his pokemon out before the pidgey took any more damage. Now facing its evolution, Blaze and Natalia prepped themselves. "Use quick attack!" Natalia commanded, that way Falkner couldn't get the upper hand on them again. Unfortunately the pidgeotto simply healed the damage back with roost. ('Argh.... You're so ANNOYING!') Blaze charged the bird as it rested on the panels of their battlefield, throwing a series of punches at the bird until it was knocked out. Natalia and Nyomii could only stare in awe, and a bit of concern. "....Dang. You weren't kidding when you said she was strong." Natalia commented. "Hm...? O-oh! Yes.... I did say that." It seemed Blaze had even surpassed Nyomii's expectations.

Lucille had all of her Pokemon resting in their pokeballs (including Helmy-chan, who was just as surprised as the mute to find that she was a Pokemon), and walked into Violet City. She was starting to feel hungry herself, so the thought of getting some food for everyone sounded like a great idea. Maybe I should get something special for all of us, she pondered. There were a few nice cafes and bakeries in the area, and while she was interested in some fancy coffee (since caffeine wasn't allowed back home), she would rather make sure she got something that Lil Gena and Samson would appreciate. They've been doing such a good job so far, so I'll make sure it's something that'll knock their proverbial socks off!
She was able to ask around after resorting to her electrolarynx, and found a butcher's shop that had prime cuts of meat. Though it costs some pretty pennies, she was able to get a whole steak for Samson and some extra fatty pork chops for Lil Gena. She found a nice spot in a nearby park to present the cuts to her Pokemon. Samson wagged his furry tail in happiness as he started in on his steak, and Lil Gena chomped ravenously on her chops. Lucille simply giggled silently as she started to eat the humble ham sandwich that she had also purchased.
While they ate, Helmy-chan found herself another foe to fight. While she wasn't sure why, she knew she had a heart for the thrill of battle, even as clumsy it was as just a helm. Two more foes would fall before she took her rest by laying still next to her lady to sap a minimal amount of energy.
Helmy-chan leveled up to Level 8! Helmy-chan learned Iron Defense!

With the Pokemon fed, Lucille booted up her laptop to load up another vlog entry, and do some research on the gym leader of Violet City: Faulkner. It appeared that he was fond of Flying type Pokemon, which would mean that Electric, Rock, and Ice moves would be very helpful. Samson would be able to help in that department, but she didn't want to rely solely on the older Pokemon. Let's see...Lil Gena might not be strong enough, but Helmy-Chan might have the defense to survive with a bit more training... The mute tip-tapped on her keyboard, and she typed out a few battle plans. Helmy-chan hovered closer as she attempted to read the plans. You really shouldn't use your best warrior so-
Lucille jerked up from her seat, making some distance between her and the ghostly helmet. HELMY-CHAN!...I'm really starting to embarrass myself, aren't I? Helmy-chan sighed and tutted. Your fear of ghosts will be your greatest weakness, madame. Lest you have other irrational fears. Lucille rubbed her neck without thinking, and sat down. Well, there's trains...but, more importantly, you were saying my strategy was no good? Helmy-chan nodded, and made room on the bench for her lady, who sat back down. While I don't remember much, I know that it's not wise to take your best warrior and throw them against all of your enemies. Samson is mighty, indeed, but he cannot fight all of your battles, madame. So, send your two squires first, and let your knight face off against the enemy's. Lucille rubbed her chin as she thought over the words, and came to a conclusion. So, you and Lil Gena should fight the first foe, and then Samson can take care of the stronger one, right? Helmy-chan nodded. Oui, madame, but first, another bout is in order. I feel that one more engagement, and then we can take on this Faulkner.
And so, after lunch, Lucille and her team went off to the outskirts of town once more, to find themselves another bout.

Lucille stepped up to the entrance of the Violet City Gym, and let out a deep breath before heading inside. When she pushed the doors open and looked inside, she mouthed the word "awesome!" as she looked into the beautiful building. There were other trainers inside, working on their technique, and Flying-type Pokemon that soared the high ceilings of the gym. Wow, this is so cool...focus, focus! Gotta get my head in the game! She shook her head in an attempt to do so, and marched forward to reception. And, instead of going through the rigmarole of trying hand signs and eventually her electrolarynx, and simply handed a note to the trainer running the desk: "I'm here to challenge Falkner!" The trainer looked up at Lucille, and smirked. "So, you think you can take em?" Lucille answered with a nod. "Well, I guess we'll see. Good luck, kid."
Lucille made her way to the challenger's square on the battlefield, and she felt her knees shake in anticipation. This is really exciting! I really hope I can do this! Helmy-chan -who was waiting in Lucille's backpack for her time to shine- gave her lady some key advice. Calme-toi, madame. Just give me your commands, and I shall relay them to our petite friend. Lucille looked over her shoulder, and nodded with determination in her eyes.
But then, Falkner appeared on the opposite side of the arena. "Greetings, challenger! I am Falkner! I'm prepared to battle if you are, but if you're not, speak up before we begin." Lucille clenched her fist, and simply shook her head as she stared down the gym leader. "The strong silent type, huh? Very well. Let's begin!" With that, Falkner sent out a Pidgey that flew from its ball at a quick rate of speed. Lucille held Gena's ball to her lips, gave it a kiss for good luck, and sent it flying as far as she could (which wasn't far, poor weak thing), and Lil Gena snapped her jaws menacingly. "Let's get this finished quickly. Quick Attack, Pidgey!" The flying bird zoomed straight for Gena, who was not going to be fast enough to get out of the way. Tell Gena to scratch it as soon as it makes contact! Helmy-chan passed the message to Lil Gena, who was struck by the quick blow, but swatted the Pidgey before it could finish its flyby. "Hm! You direct your Pokemon without even speaking...interesting. But, it won't matter much! Tackle, Pidgey! Pidgey came back around for the tackle, which struck Lil Gena as well. Now, Gena! Our lady wishes you to scratch now! Gena did as she was asked, landing another good blow. But, She was clearly getting tired. Now, for stage two, my lady! Lucille nodded, and silently returned Gena and Helmy-chan pretended to be thrown out onto the battlefield.
Just as planned, Falkner wasn't sure what type the rare Pokemon was, so when Pidgey darted forth with a Quick Attack, it didn't phase Helmy-chan at all. "It must be a ghost type of some sort...Pidgey! Gust!" The bird's blast of air hit the helmet, for sure. It didn't deal much damage to her, of course, though it was surprising when the helmet tucked up and tackled the bird from below. Another gust sent the helmet high into the air, but Helmy-chan was able to use her slight hover to guide her trajectory right into Pidgey, which knocked it out. "Pidgey, return! You're turning out to be more of a challenge than I imagined, young lady. Let's see how you do against my Pidgeotto!"
As the larger, faster raptor flew into the sky, Lucille called Helmy-chan back, and sent out Samson, who let out a roar that made even Pidgeotto shiver. Alright, my old pal! Let's show em what we got! Pidgeotto started off with a gust of wind, which made the large dog brace itself. Hold the line, Samson, and then use Thunder Fang! She pointed to Pidgeotto dramatically as Helmy-chan relayed the message, and Samson darted elegantly up into the air, and brought electrified fangs into Pidgeotto. "Tch! An Electric move...Pidgeotto, use Roost!" The raptor shook itself out of Samson's grasp, and landed on the ground as a down of feathers surrounded it. It looked to have been healed by the move. He had to heal up...that means we were close! We can do this! Samson, let's give it another go! Samson barked in agreement to the relayed tactic, and Samson charged forward with another Thunder Fang. It hit home, but not as hard as it had the first time. But, Pidgeotto tensed up from the electric shock. It was paralyzed! This is our chance, my lady! Your action? Lucille thought for a split second, and ordered Samson to end the fight with Fire Fang. Samson barreled towards the Pidgeotto, who was trying to get out of the way. "Pidgeotto, you can move, I know it! Dodge it, quick!" Samson's mouth burst aflame as he charged towards his opponent while the raptor tried to move, until...

Leader Falkner
Falkner could only watch as his father's prized pokemon, and his chances of winning, go up in flames, and he winced as a burning sensation flickered within his heart. Though on a smaller scale than what Pidgeotto had suffered through. Thankfully, its injuries were treatable. "Congratulations, challenger, you've bested my pokemon and I." He spoke with a bitter taste in his mouth, but didn't allow his mood to affect the young girl's achievement -- he wasn't Whitney, after all. "You've completed your first gym battle, and with your success comes your first badge: the Zephyr badge." He presented the decorated piece of metal with genuine pride, and held it out for Lucille to take, along with a few other items. "With it, comes the TM Roost. It's a useful, albeit tricky, move to have in your arsenal. It'll heal your flying-type pokemon, but at the risk of them losing their typing. So you'll have to figure out when's the right time to use it."
Lucille Received: - Zephyr badge - HM Rock Smash - TM51 Roost - +20 exp. split between participants

And then, it was over. They had one. Samson had finished the fight with Fire Fang, and was standing triumphantly on the battlefield. Lucille looked out onto the arena and over to Falkner, who congratulated her and offered her the Zephyr badge. She took a few steps forward, and stumbled to her knees. My lady? Are you alright? Helmy-chan inched closer to the girl, and noticed her eyes beginning to water. Madam Lucille? And then, it was an all-out bawl, as thick tears poured down her face. Alerted by this, Samson trotted over, only to be surprise attacked by the mute's dynamic hug move. We did it! We did it! We won our very first gym battle! You all did so good! I love you I love you I love you I love youuuuuuuuu! She practically buried her head into Samson's mane, who could only stand firm and allow his human to get it out of her system; he'd seen her do this once or twice before, and surely if they kept traveling and succeeding, she'd be doing it quite often. It was actually Gena, who had found a way out of her ball during the sobbing, that finally broke Lucille's crying moment by biting the human right on the bottom. Lucille let out a silent eep! and stood up in a jolt. Ow! Right, right, gotta be a professional, right? Lucille composed herself, wiped away her tears, and accepted the badge from Falkner with a bow. Though she doubted he would understand, she signed him her thanks: Thank you for the battle. I had so much fun! And with that, she left the gym.
Once outside, she looked over the badge in her hand. It was so beautiful to her, something that showed that she was really cut out for this. Her smile started to shake, until she found herself in tears once more. Samson grunted as he got in closer for the inevitable embrace, while Gena and Helmy-chan looked at her with confusion. A tactician really shouldn't cry so often, madame. It's not like you lost. Lucille shook her head vigorously, most of it hidden in Samson's fluffy mane. That's not it, Helmy-chan...I FORGOT TO RECORD THIS! I'M A TOTAL CLOD!

A glance at his map showed the best options for getting out of Johto. Head back to Newbark, or continue on to Goldenrod... Neither option seemed safer than the other- one was ground Team Rocket knew he'd been traveling through, the other the most obvious route for him to take.
But the Goldenrod path had the gyms.
Ever since he'd thought of it, of starting with the one in Violet, he'd stuck on the idea. Him, challenging gyms. Winning badges. Jun didn't have much of a direction in life, didn't have many goals that he'd chosen himself to follow.
Goldenrod, then.
The decision he'd made had an air of '******** it' to it; maybe that was why he strode down the sidewalk with such calm confidence. Having a goal instead of aimlessly wandering in the woods also helped.
The city was familiar, though he'd spent no real amount of time there. He knew the major roads, the ones you took when you were just passing through, and the locations of a few landmarks.
The pokemon center was an obvious first choice, and even if Team Rocket had it staked out, Jun was pretty sure they wouldn't try anything in broad daylight. As long as he was in and out fast enough that they couldn't set anything up, he'd be fine.
Jun used his pokedex to go over information on his new pokemon. If he was going to be stuck in here while he waited for the healing to finish, he'd might as well make good use of it. What he saw was promising. The pokemon hatching from his eggs would be babies, and take good training to shape up.
Speed was the key factor here, and Jun couldn't afford the time it took to train a team from the ground up. Or at least, if he was smart he'd avoid it.
...but he had to admit, there was an appeal to it.
To pull together a team, his team, made of pokemon he'd picked for himself and trained entirely on his own... It was looking more and more like something that might, just maybe, give him a sense of purpose. Or it would just be fun.
"Hey, nurse?" he asked. It took a moment to get Nurse Joy's attention; she hadn't been expecting him to say anything until his pokemon were ready.
"Yes?"
"I've been taking care of a couple eggs I found. Could you give them a look and tell how close they are to hatching?" Jun asked. He also hoped to find out if he'd actually been doing a decent job of taking care of them.
Nurse Joy brightened. "Oh, Chauncy would love to give them a look!"
