Geraldsville Area Hospital,

"How are you feeling ,Henry?" Phil inquired.  Henry had a broken leg so he needed crutches.

"I am well enough to leave the hospital.  Can we just go to Professor Pine's friend already?"

"Sure, what was his name again?" Phil asked.

"Oh, the professor talks about him all the time. His name is Bob White," Railyn answered.

At Bob White's house,

"Mr. White! Are you home? Professor Pine sent us," Phil called.

"I'll be there in a minute!" Mr. White openned the door about five minutes later. "Come in, come in.   I have a request for you."   He lead them to a room full of Pokéballs.   "This Pokémon is called Eevee, it evolves into eight different known 'eeveeloutions.'  Each one is a different type, but I believe two or three more may yet be undiscovered.   In fact, I believe that we may eventually discover one for each and every type however; up to three may be uncovered in our region.  You see Eevee is not a native Pokémon, so this foreign land may unlock more of it's potential.  I will give each of you an Eevee, and you may evolve it into any Pokémon you please. My request is that take them on a journey, and let them explore."

"I think I speak for all of us when I say we would be honored.  I personally have seen foreign trainer's Vaporeons, and will probably evolve mine into that one day," Railyn interjected.

"Then you need a Water Stone.  If I had one you would be welcome to it," Mr. White kindly responded.

"Mr. White, I have heard that Espeon's loyalty knows no bounds.   Is that true?" Denny asked.

"You always want to learn more don't you," Phil teased.

"You would be right. I have always found that interesting.   Now, meet your new friends!" Mr. White released four brown puffballs of Pokémon.

"Ok, is there anything else Mr. White?" Phil inquired as he took Eevee's Pokéball.

"Yes, the one you grabbed is a girl named Evie," Mr. White replied.  Seeing their looks he said, "What! My five-year-old grandaughter named them." They all fell over laughing. "Those Eevees are Brownie, Phiona, and Bob respectively."

"Wait, I have one named Bob?" Denny asked.

"Hey, what are you complaining about. Mine is named Brownie!" Henry exclaimed.

"You can give them new names if you want," Mr. White said.

"I'll keep mine's name," Phil and Railyn said at the same time.

"How about Edward?" Denny asked his Eevee.  He bobbed his head quickly. (A/N Pun Intended)

"What do you think of David?" Henry asked.  Brownie thought for a minute then nodded.

"Is there anything else we need to know?"  Railyn asked.

"Not really.  If you are as good at Pokemon training as I think then you will do fine."

"Wait Railyn," Phil said.  "I have something for you."  Phil pulled out the case his dad gave him back in Wailington.   He opened it and removed a stone that looked almost liquid.  "This is a Water Stone.  When Phiona is ready just touch it to her forehead."

"Thanks Phil, I better get going.  Henry and I have a lot we want to see."

"Ok, see you two." They left Mr. White's house.  Denny and Phil decided to eat lunch and determine their next move.

Torchic-Fil-A,

"Denny, what are we going to do now?"

"Well, we could leave town tomorrow."

"So, we need to keep moving."

"We should, Forental is a week or two trip.  So, I suggest that we leave early tomorrow morning."

"Then I had better get some rest, but first I will get some local knowledge on the area.  Then we can add that to anything you know of the area."

"Sounds like a good idea Phil.  I will go and gather supplies.  Ask Craig if he would be willing to carry supplies.  He is the biggest of our five Pokemon, and is quite strong."

"Ok, Craig come on out,"  Craig hopped out of his Luxury Ball and had a quick look around.  He then looked at Phil like, "Where is the fight?"  "Craig, would you be willing to carry some supplies?  We have a long trip ahead of us, and you are the largest Pokemon we have."

Craig thought for a minute then nodded, and did his backflip.

"Ok, Phil, I need to take Craig and fit him with a harness."

"Sounds good.  Craig, be good for Denny.  Here is his Luxury Ball,"  Phil handed over the Pokeball.

Downtown Geraldsville,

Phil was wandering around downtown Geraldsville with Blazer and Jes beside him, when he heard a familiar voice.

"I swear!  He lost to me the first time a'round, but came back and beat me in two moves.  I have never seen anything like it,"  Kleve said.

"Oh, Pops, Uncle Milton is right.  You just love to make a tall tale."

"Oh, silly girl.  It is the truth."

"Hello, Kleve."

"Phil!  My daughter is here on vacation from her gym in Johto, and she ain't believe'n how you beat me."

"It is true."

"Then prove it in battle!"

"I will.  One on one sound good to you?"

"Sure, the nearest arena is only a block from here."

Battle Arena #13,

The arena was packed when they got there.

"Why is it so full?"

"People heard that I was in town, and knew I would have at least one battle today."

"Ok then."

"Pops, referee for us."

"Pleasure darlin'.  This will be a one on one battle between Whitney of Johto and Phil of Campagna.  Battlers, please choose your Pokemon."

Phil looked between the two Pokemon he had with him, "Blazer, you get to dance this time."

"Molly go!" Molly was, another Miltank.

"What is it with this city and Miltank!" Phil exclaimed.

"Molly use Rollout."

"Blazer you know the drill."

Blazer ran to one of the arena's walls and ran up it!  He did an impressive flip over Molly and gave her a good Bite as she hit the wall.

"That was great Blazer!  Better that I could have imagined.  Now, try and breathe an Ember at her constantly."

Blazer attempted to do so, but it quickly lost power.  Seeing her chance Whitney call her next command.

"Molly, Rollout again!"

Molly began rolling towards Blazer.

"Blazer get out of there!"

Blazer only just managed to dodge.  Molly was faster than before.  Phil thought to himself 'It gets stronger and faster each time.  I need to end this fast.'  He then remembered a move he had seen Blazer's parents use against other Pokemon.

"Blazer, try Ember on your fur!"

Blazer looked at him strangely like "What are you thinking?" but then the memory came back to him as well.  His fur caught fire, but it did not hurt him.  He charged Molly who stumbled.

"Molly use Rollout again!"

"Blazer, Bite!"

Blazer used Bite on Molly, who flinched.  He then lit himself on fire again and charged.

Phil scanned the attack with his Pokedex.

'Flame Wheel, a physical Fire type attack.  The user cloaks itself in flames and charges.'

"Whoa, Blazer use your new attack nonstop, Flame Wheel!"

Blazer repeatedly charged Molly, hitting her several times in a matter of seconds.

"Stop! Stop!  You win."

"Blazer get back over here."

Blazer looked at Jes who stared back in awe.

'That was amazing!'  Jes told him.

'I was only able to learn that attack because Phil remembered my parents using it.'

'Still, I think that you are the best fighter Phil has.'

'I am just doing my job.  Phil saved me, and I owe it to him to my best in every situation, but these battles are a lot of fun!'

'Yea, I just wish I could do that.'

"Well, done Phil.  I just knew ya would win.  Yer Pokemon learned a new move too!  I told you he had talent Whitney."

"He still would not have won had I been using my main Miltank, Grace."

"Maybe not, but he will when his Pokemon get to high'r levels.  Oh, Phil I have something fer ya.  It is a video of a Tauros like Trent using Zen Headbutt.  It is done in a style were using it, yer Cranidos can learn Zen Headbutt.  It's a move that may come in handy lat'r.  Whitney, what do they call those things again?"

"TMs or Technical Machines.  They can be used to teach Pokemon moves sooner or that they may have never learned otherwise."

"Thank you for the battle Whitney, and thank you for the TM."

"Why thank you.  I learned something here."

"And that would be?"

"That I should watch out for Pokemon as small and fast as Blazer.  He is the fastest Pokemon I have ever seen, and that is saying something."

Downtown Geraldsville,

Reveling in his victory Phil went and got a box of cookies for himself, and a box of poffins for each of his Pokemon.  Blazer wanted a box of spicy-sweet ones and Jes wanted some sweet poffins.  He was about to checkout when he bumped into Denny.

"I was about to call you, and ask if you wanted me to get you something."

"Hey can you tell me what kind Craig wants?"

"No, but I have him with me.  Craig, Phil is here."

Craig hopped out of his Luxury Ball.

"Blazer ask him what he wants."

'Hey Craig, what kind of poffins do you like?'

'Poffins?'

'They are made from berries, but taste even better.'

'Well my favorite berry is the Yache Berry.'

'They make dry sour poffins.'

'I like dry stuff.'

Blazer ran and pointed to some sour-dry poffins.

"This is what Craig wants?"

Blazer nodded his head.

They checked out, and went to the hotel to pack up.
