" Take me down there buddy!!" She said yelling over the wind.
The Hydreigon took her down and she returned it to her pokeball.
She called Lance on her X-transceiver.
" You're here?" He said tiredly.
" Yep in Gaia town." She said.
" Ok I'm in the pokemon center sleeping so-" He yawned. " Explore, or catch 'em all, whatever you kids do." He hung up.
" Umm..I guess I can check out the waterfall." She said.
-
" Yes we're here!!" Kenji shouted. " I'm not wasting any time!! Where's the professor's lab?"
" We'll find it Kenji." Tatsuno said.
" I'll go to I wanna see the pokemon." Lily said excited for Kenji.
" I'll go book us a room at the pokemon center." Zane said.
" Come on Apollo let's go look at the waterfall." Kamina said grabbing Apollo's arm and pulling him towards the waterfall.
Apollo thought. " Hmph you sure you don't wanna go with Zane."
-
Apollo still didn't say anything. It was kind of hard to stay quiet for so long, but his burning will shut him up.
" Why are you mad?" Kamina asked him.
" ..." Apollo kept staring at the waterfall.
" Why won't you say anything? I'm gonna cry." Kamina said.
" You aren't the crying type." He said.
" You said something." Kamina said. " So now will you tell me why you're mad."
" You insulted me. Called me weak." Apollo said. " The Katune aren't weak."
" You know I didn't mean it." Kamina said.
" ..." Apollo didn't say anything.
" Let it go and enjoy this moment with me." She said resting her head on his shoulder.
Apollo did lighten up and he enjoyed the moment quite much. Then they were interrupted by Iris.
" Hey!!" Iris said.
They both turned around. Apollo got a surprised look on his face.
" I-Iris? Is that you?" He asked.
" Yep it's me. Long time no see." She said.
They hugged each other. Apollo introduced Kamina. Kamina knew it from the moment Apollo hugged her that they wouldn't get along well.
" Hi Kamina!" Iris said energetically.
" Hello." She said trying to mask her jealousy.
Ok well Iris seems to get along well, but Kamina isn't a big fan.
" Hey El I've got an old friend that wants to see you." Apollo said releasing El from it's pokeball. El went to cuddle with Iris and Iris said. " Hi El. I've got someone that wants to see you too." She said releasing an Axew.
" Axew!! Still as cute as ever I see." He said as Axew jumped into his arms.
Kamina wasn't happy. This was her and Apollo's moment and they'd gotten interrupted.
-
" Anyone home!?" Kenji said loudly as he knocked on the door.
" Yes it's unlocked!!" a man said from inside.
" Ok!" Kenji said opening the door and walking in.
" Wow!" Tatsuno said. " This is the best laboratory I've ever seen."
" Eh. It's not much." Said a young man with brown hair and glasses. " So why are you kids here."
" I'm here to get a special pokemon!!" Kenji said enthusiastically.
" What I can't just hand out special pokemon to random people." The young man said.
" Wait you're the professor?!" Lily asked.
" Yeah 'course I am." He said.
" But you're so young." She said.
" Well thank you young lady." He said.
" But I came here to get a special pokemon." Kenji said, his excitement fading.
" Well you'll have to prove yourself." The professor said. " Hmmm let me think of an outrageous task for you to preform. OH!! I got it you must catch a Dugtrio."
" Easy!!" Kenji said.
" Without a pokeball." The professor finished.
" Aww man." Kenji said.
" Well you'd better get started, you've gotta have it by night." The professor said.
" Fine." Kenji said.
So he went to the grass and found one.
" Ok this'll take speed and stealth." He said to himself.
He snuck up on it and tried to grab it, but it popped into it's hole underground. It popped up not too far away. He dove towards it in a failed attempt to grab it. He kept at this all day until it was sundown. He gave up and headed back to the professor's place.
" I didn't get it." Kenji said in despair.
" I figured as much." The professor said sipping on some tea.
He got up and said. " Let me show you something."
He led the kids into a steamy room that had lots of pipes on the floor and walls. In the middle was a pedestal with two pokeballs on it.

" Why are we here." Kenji asked.
" Ha! Son you totally proved yourself!!" The professor said. " You didn't give up until the very end. For that choose which pokemon you want."
" Really!!" Kenji said.
" Yep. Sorry there are only 2 I gave a girl the Cyndaquil."
" Lily which one do you think I should choose?" Kenji asked her.
There was an Oshawott and a Treeko.
" I think you should get Oshawott. It's so adorable." She replied.
" Oshawott it is!!" Kenji shouted.
" Here." The professor said. " And your pokedex. I want to see you fill this thing with information. Work hard but also have fun. Oh and here is my X-transceiver number." He said.
" Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Bye!" Kenji said running out of the house with Lily and Tatsuno following him.
" Good kids." The professor said.
