Okay! I think I am going to Cyllage City Gym first. Then I will challenge Mom, and then go to Coumarine City! Next, I'll travel to Valerie's Gym, then Alistar City then Snowbelle City! Then, I will go back to Lumiose, head down to Vaniville, come back up to Santalune City, then finally fight Dad! That's my plan at least. I visited Parfum Palace, which was pretty cool, but it was so expensive! It was 1,000 Pokebucks! Talk about crappy prices. I heard there that there have been many earthquakes recently. That's kind of weird.

On the way to connecting cave, I see rustling in the bushes. I look to see what is there, but I find nothing. I keep walking and keep hearing it. That is a bit weird. I finally get to Connecting Cave. I start to walk in, when the ground starts shaking. Soon the ceiling starts to crumble. Me and Bronze freak out, but just stand there. Suddenly, I see a black and white blur, and it takes me outside. It stops for a moment briefly, and I see it is an Absol. The disaster Pokemon quickly runs off, nowhere to be seen.

Well, I guess I am not going to Cyllage City first. I head back to Camphrier town. I talk with the people there and they say it will take a month to clear up Connecting cave. This kind of sucks! Derryl is probably fighting Grant right now. But that doesn't matter. I wonder were that Absol went? He kind of saved my life and stuff, and I've always wanted one! Maybe I'll find him again. But, Absols aren't found to the west of Connecting cave. Which is weird. Suddenly, another earthquake starts happening. A bookshelf almost falls on me when I am saved yet again by the Absol. It gets ready to leave when I say, "Wait, can I talk to you for a while?"

"Sure, whatever! What do you wanna talk about?"

"Well, thank you for saving me, twice. Also, how did you get over here?"

"My original trainer was shiny breeding, and if we weren't a shiny, he would release us!"

"But I thought shiny breeding was illegal."

"It is, but no one monitors it. I've lived on my own for a year, but I'm not a very high level."

"That doesn't matter! What moves do you know?"

"Well, Swords Dance, Slash, and Dark Pulse."

"You have Swords Dance! That move is amazing! Would you like to travel with me?"

"Yes! But let's battle first!"

"Alright, then. Give it all you've got Chestin!" His first battle!

"Oh yay, I get to fight! Do I use Tackle, growl, or bullet seed?"

"Chestin, use Tackle." Chestin tackles Absol doing not much damage. Suddenly, many glowing swords glow above him. Swords dance! "Use bullet seed while he is doing swords dance." The bullet seed successfully hits! Doing some damage but Absol is still over half health. He uses swords dance again. "Bullet seed again!" Absol is now at yellow health, but will hit like a tank. His horn glows white and charges at Chestin. It deals a ton of damage to Chestin. I use this opportunity to throw a Pokeball. It shakes a few times and then clicks! "I did it. I CAUGHT AN ABSOL! Come on out" I say bringing him out. "Would it be okay if I called you Neville?"

"Sure, I guess."

Well, I guess we are going to Vaniville town before I fight Viola in Santalune City. I will visit the Ketchums!
