We arrived at Striaton City. It was very nice, with a lot of booths and stores. "Let's go to the Pokemon gym! I might not have a battle, but I could watch one!" I told my new Pokemon friends. "Purr..." "Baae" my new Pokemon said as we were sitting by a fountain. I returned them to their pokeballs and walked to the gym. 'This looks a little odd...' I thought to myself. I knocked on the door. Two people Gon.came up. Both of them wore the same fancy outfits. One had red eyes with hair to match, that looks like a burning flame. The other had blue eyes, with hair that looked like water going down. "welcome to the Striaton city gym." They said in unison.

"Oh. Um, I am Crystal... And... Is it ok if I just.... Watch a gym battle?" I stammered. This is awkward! "sure! No problem! My name is Chili" the fire-haired one said. "And I'm Cress" the other one said. "Our brother, Cilan, is out doing errands. "So, I may be guessing a bit of a stretch, but are you guys triplet gym leaders?" I asked. "That's correct. While you are waiting for a challenger, would you like a bit to eat?" Cress asked. Well, I haven't had anything to eat since I got here. Once I started having the food, it was some of the best I have ever tasted! That is when a clear challenger came in. He had a pikachu, and was accompanied by a girl with an axew and one more person. He had a fancy outfit like Chili and Cress and had clear green eyes and interesting hair. Could he be Cilan? He seems cool. I saw the triplets offering the challenger a meal, but he was not hungry. I called out my Pokemon while watching pachirisu giggled. "That's it!" He exploded. "I came for a gym battle and that's that!" "Target confirmed..." I murmured to pachirisu, Purrloin, and bagon. They all giggled. "A GYM BATTLE?????????" Basically every girl in the gym (except for the girl with the axew) cried. "Wow, some people are psyched" I mentally pointed out. That is when I noticed each one gawk at the triplets. With a face palm from Purrloin, a mimic from pachirisu, and a glare from bagon, I was stunned. "And here I was thinking that they were actually excited about the battle..." I said awkwardly.

In the battle with Chili, the challenger, Ash, used his tepig. He got it to bite onto pansear's tail and sent it flying, after an ember and a tackle, tepig was victorious. All of those fan girls were cheering for the gym leaders, so I decided we should even the ground. "Go Ash, give them heat! Your techniques cannot be beat!" I cheered, showing those fan girls how it is done. In the middle of the battle against Cress, panpour was winning against pikachu. "Cress and panpour go! Give us a winning show!" The fan girls cheered. "Ash and pikachu fight! You will get it right!" I countered. Looks like a double battle! Unfortunately, that battle was a loss. That means a battle against Cilan and then he would win! There is something interesting about Cilan though... I couldn't put my finger on it. Cilan was awesome at battling though! His pansage nearly had Ash's oshawott (I know, strange choice) defeated! Suddenly, oshawott managed to use a flurry of razor shells and blocks, even after nearly loosing its scalchop! "Amazing!" I said, clapping. "I was thinking he might have lost for a minute!" After I said bye to everyone, I saw a hill looking over Striaton city that looked cool.

"This really is amazing" I said as me and my Pokemon looked out from the hill. We were looking out at the city for a few minutes, when a giant metal claw grabbed pachirisu. "What? Who are you?" I said looking at the giant machine. "Who are we? A good question indeed." "The answer to come as we feel the need." (AN: I am too lazy to write the team rocket motto) "the fiery destroyer, I am Jessie." "And with thunderous emotion, I am James." "Wisest of the wise, I'm Meowth." This last part they said in unison. "Now gather, under the name of TEAM ROCKET." "Chew-pah!" Pachirisu cried. "Give me back my friend!" I screamed. "I am afraid we can't give you this cutie" Jessie explained. "This Pokemon is quite rare in Unova." James pointed out. "Whatever." I said. "Purrloin, use shadow ball!" The dark orb of energy hit the glass trapping pachirisu. "Did you forget to give it crash protection Meowth?" Jessie asked. "Dummy..." James murmured. "Look, I thought it came with, so deal!" Meowth explained. "Okay, Purrloin, use shadow ball. Bagon, use dragon pulse. Pachirisu, discharge!" I commanded. The three attacks combined into a super powerful attack. I was being stupid and forgot I was so close to the device. It blew up in my face. "We're blasting off again!!!!!" Team rocket screamed. Due to the explosion, I fell over and got hit in the head. All of my Pokemon rushed towards me. "You... You guys are okay..." Was all I could say before going unconscious.
