| - Ryan: Wow. Everything looks so colourful. Chespin (in agreement): Ches! Jon: Why are they all dedicated to Grass Types? Ryan: I don’t follow events like these often, so I couldn’t tell you. Kyle: It could be something to do with the Gym Leader. Maria: The Gym Leader? Kyle: The Gym Leader uses Grass Type Pokemon. Jon: Oh, awesome. So, why don’t we check it all out? Maria: Yeah. Jon: I’m going to check down here. Kyle: Right. Maria and I will continue around here. Jon: What do you want to do Ryan? Ryan: Not sure. It’s the first time I’ve been to a festival like this. Kyle’s Bulbasaur might like it though. Jon: I know Bulbasaur would. Jon: Skiddo, Chespin, Pansage and Snivy toys. Stall Seller: They are the best toys around. If you want one, you have to get that Pokemon. Jon: I presume it will be difficult considering Goldeen has the Swift Swim ability. Jon: I’m going to pass. Ryan, do you want a go? Ryan: Hmm...why not? Jon: You are holding it wrong. Jon: That will help you get a better cast. Stall Seller: Which one would you like? Ryan: Snivy please sir. Stall Seller: There you go. Now, please don’t tell anyone about Goldeens ability. Jon: Lips are sealed. So which stall now? Ryan: Hmm... Jon: What is that about? Ryan: Let’s find out Jon runs off in the direction of the cheering, with Ryan following behind. They arrive and see a Pokemon battle happening. There are two trainers on the field. One is a man, about 30, with a green shirt and brown shorts, and he has his Phantump out. He is called Dylan. The other trainer is quite young, only 13. Her Pokemon of choice is a Raichu. Jon: That Raichu is expertly trained. Lilly: Raichu, Thundershock! Dylan: Use Energy Ball! Lilly: Give it a hard Thunder Punch Raichu. Ryan: That’s not fair! Dylan: Thanks for a great battle. Lilly: You too. Ryan: That wasn’t fair! Phantump didn’t even get a chance to defend himself! Lilly: Yeah? Well too bad. Ryan: I challenge you to a battle! No sneak attacks allowed! Lilly: Fine by me. Jon: Ryan, are you sure? Ryan: Dang right I’m sure! Ryan: Let’s do this! Lilly: A Scatterbug? Are you kidding? That little runt couldn’t even put a scratch on Raichu! Jon: Are you sure you want to use Scatterbug? Chespin would be better. Ryan: I know that was supposed to be helpful, and I appreciate it, but as Scatterbug’s barely battled, and Froakie’s a Water Type, I’m gonna give her a chance. But don’t worry, Chespin’s next on the roster. Anyway, Scatterbug, String Shot! Lilly: Raichu, use Thunderbolt! Ryan: Wait...Oh no, I walked right into it! Scatterbug get away! Lilly: Raichu, Thunderbolt! Raichu zaps Scatterbug with electricity. The Bug Pokemon screams out in pain. Ryan: NO! Lilly: Now you’re seeing sense. Raichu, Thunderb-. Ryan: Chespin? Are you-? Quilladin: Quil! Lilly: So it evolved, big deal. It won’t change anything! Raichu, Thunderbolt! Ryan: Quick Quilladin! Use Leech Seed! Quilladin: Quil! Ryan: Pin Missile! Quilladin sends his ‘quills’ flying towards Raichu. The helpless Pokemon gets hit, and winces. Ryan: Alright Quilladin, come back. Lilly (less confident): Are you nuts? Lilly: Raichu! Lilly (Thinking): Our first loss...We’ve never lost together until today. Ryan: Wow, suddenly I feel really bad for treating her so badly. I mean, I wanted to win, but now I just feel guilty. Lily looks over at Ryan. Lilly: I’ll get you for this! I’ll train my Pokemon twice as hard and you’ll see how it feels! Ryan (To Jon; still a bit puzzled): Did I just make someone want to be my rival? Jon: Yeah, I think so. It’s great that Chespin evolved into Quilladin. Ryan (To Quilladin): Too bad it looks like I can’t carry you anymore. Quilladin looks disappointed, but then shrugs. Ryan: Don’t worry, I won’t put you in a Pokeball either. Hey Jon, I know I just had one, but want to battle one last time before my team and I leave the group? Jon: Yeah sure. Kyle and Maria walk to them. Maria: Have a good time? Jon: Ryan and I are going to have a battle before he leaves. Kyle (noticing Ryan’s Quilladin): Is that a Quilladin? Quilladin stands proud and tall. Ryan: Yup. Though I don’t know why he evolved. To me, it seemed for no reason. Jon: Quilladin evolved because he saw your passion for him, and it didn’t want you to lose. Well, that’s what I think. Ryan: So Jon, who’s up for you? Jon: That’s a good question. The only Pokemon who hasn’t battled you is Fletchinder. And considering Fletchinder and Quilladin evolved recently, it’s a great way to test their new strength. Ryan: Cool, let’s go! Jon: You can have the first attack Ryan. Ryan: Pin Missile! Jon: Fletching, stay still and use Flame Charge! Jon: Now, use Steel Wing! Ryan: Quilladin, Vine Whip! Jon: Fletchinder! Ryan: Throw it to the ground! Jon: Are you okay Fletchinder? Jon: Good, then use Acrobatics! Jon: Get out of Quilladin’s reach. Ryan: Pin Missile Quilladin! Jon: Dodge! Jon: Good. Now Flame Charge! Ryan: Leech Seed! Jon: Argh! Maria: I wonder how Jon is going to get out of that. Jon: Now, Agility! Jon: Now, use Flame Charge! Jon: That’s how to do it. Ryan: Don’t worry, you were great. Ryan: So.....does this make us rivals? Jon: Yeah, if you want to be. Ryan: Don’t worry, I was joking. But I will say I’ll miss being with you guys. I hope we’ll meet again someday. Ryan (Joking): I’ll totally cream you next time Jon! Just you wait and see! Quilladin: Quill! Ryan (Thinking): I wonder what’s in store for us tomorrow. Well, I guess there’s only one way to find out! Jon: I wonder if we will meet Ryan again. Kyle: And what Pokemon he has at that point. Maria: Yeah. Jon: I say we stay down here today and then head up to the gym tomorrow. Kyle: Good plan. Let’s see the rest of the festival. Narrator: Our heroes have enjoyed the company of Jon and his friends, and after arriving at a Festival, have even met a new rival named Lilly. Now, with his newly evolved Quillatin, Ryan has parted with the trio. Determined to get into the Kalos League, his eyes are now set on Courmarine Gym.
