I want to thank Ghostzaiko for helping me write this chapter

Our heroes were now on route 111

The heat was scorching hot was everyone except jacob and his pokemon were sweating and hot

Jacob:c'mon guys drink your waters.

Brock:(holding an empty water holder) we ran out of water.

Jaraja: (reading a map) crap we're miles away from the next town.

Everyone: what!

May: I'm thirsty, if I don't get some water soon I'll...

She then passed out from the heat

Max: may you alright, let me help...

Max passed out next and one by one everyone except jacob and his pokemon passed out

Jacob: Oh crap guys, get up guys we can't stay here, guys lift them up.

Small timeskip

Jacob and his pokemon were now carrying the group

Jacob: This is not going well so far guys.

sableye:Man we need to find some civilization or some place.

Jacob: Who in the right mind would ever want to live here?

Heracross:Well I mean have you seen those survival shows or something I mean they live in some of the unlivable conditions. Hell there are people living on volcanoes.

Jacob: Oh god.

Just then they saw this pokemon walking up to them

Camerupt

Jacob: a camerupt, uhh excuse me camerupt can you help us out, my friends have passed out and we need some water

Vicky's camerupt: Of course c'mon and follow me there's my trainers house a bit further.

Jacob: Oh thank you so much.

They then began to follow camerupt

Timeskip

The group was now inside house the house that the camerupt lead them two, the house was owned by this family

The Winstrate family (from left to right: Victoria, Vicky, and Victor, with Vivi at the bottom)

Jacob: Thanks for helping me and my friends out, your camerupt came just in time.

Brock: We were burning up out there.

May: I needed water and shade really bad.

Max: Thanks for the food too.

Vicky: You're welcome, I'm just glad that you're alright.

Vivi: Here's some more water, are you still thirsty?

Max: I am thankful!

Vivi: hehe I think you're cute.

Max: (blushing) huh uhhh hehehe.

Jacob and may saw this and smiled

Victor: We've been living here for ages, raising the kids and growing our crop, but ours is the only one in the entire area, so it's rare for us to have visitors to drop by.

Vicky: So welcome, it was lucky Victoria happened to spot you while she was farming with the camerupt.

Jacob: indeed.

Vicky: Victor tells me that you're a strong trainer and is on your way to become champion.

Jacob: yep but first i'm heading to fallarbor town to compete in the next pokemon contest.

Victoria: our eldest child Vito left home two months ago to travel and became a champion as well.

Jacob: Oh really.

Brock: Well I guess that explains why you're so willing to help us out.

May: I'm so glad we wound up here.

Max: yeah.

Meanwhile

We see ghost walking around on the route as well with his egg

Ghost:I've been climbing up these mountains. You can kiss my ass. I've been climbing up these mountains but I'm not smudging up some glass HEY!

Egg:(sweating).....

Ghost:Oh do you want me to give you some water, my egg rosebud?

Egg:(more sweat).....

ghost:Ok here goes *checks on his flask of water and comes out empty*... oh shit. Don't worry baby! Ill rush us som-

Vito: Hey there, do you need some help?

Ghost then saw this guy

Vito

ghost:Oh for sure I need some water for my egg to cool off before it's turned into a hard boiled egg.

Vito: Of course I got some water right here.

Vito pulled out some food and water

Ghost:thank you!*grabs it and pours some water on the egg*Here ya go little buddy Say thank you to the nice man!

egg:....

Vito: your welcome, you're lucky i found you, the only food and water around here is the ones you carry.

Ghost:oh What about cactus juice I mean last time I had it was a whole new way of tripping balls.

Vito: yeah I highly recommend you not to drink that stuff, you know my family actually lives in this area, we're the only residents here for miles.

ghost:Huh that's quite something me and my egg buddy here are traveling across the land searching far and wide each pokemon has the power!
Vito: oh really well i'm out here to follow my dream too.

ghost:Oh really why are you here may I ask.

Vito: Well you see I used to work with my family on the farm but they let me follow my dream to become a pokemon champion, the more I travel through the more I realize that what I really enjoyed was raising and caring for pokemon, battling with them just wasn't for me.

ghost:Hey I guess some stuff changes along the way. I mean look at me. I'm what you call a mystery traveler just doing what I do. I still work as a cool badass killing bounty hunter yet still spare time on doing this.*points at the egg*

Vito: I see, but know that my dream changed. I have no point to continue my journey, but now my family expects me to return as a champion and I don't want to disappoint them so I can't go home either.

Ghost:Man grow a pair sometimes I just have to be blunt and obvious. Sometimes things don't work out man.Plus if it's not your thing then it isn't. Sometimes you do change if you love taking care of pokemon then that's your calling and if battling isn't your thing then just be a pacifist your way.

Vito: Well I wish it was that simple, but telling my family that is the hard part, especially my grandma, if you met her, you'll know exactly what I mean.

Meanwhile with jacob

Jacob: Thank you guys so much for helping us.

Vicky: It was our pleasure.

Jacob: So is there any way we could repay you.

Brock: I'm pretty good in the kitchen. I could whip up a mean meal.

Victor: Thanks anyway we're alright.

Victoria: It was enough that you guys just came to visit.

Jacob: oh c'mon you saved my friends there must be something we could do.

Vicky: hmm very well if you insist there is one thing you could do.

Jacob: Okay what is it?

Vicky: meet grandma Vicky, matriarch of the family.

Victor: her son victor.

Victoria: his wife Victoria.

Vivi: I'm Vivi, their daughter.

Winstrate family: together we're the Winstrate family! (Posing)

Vicky: if you really want to do something, then challenge us to a battle unless you're all afraid that we're too much to handle.

Jacob: uhh okay I'll battle.

Brock: So uhh no one wants my meal.

Vicky: nope, just the battle.

Victor: Like I was telling you, our son Vito started his journey 2 months ago to become a pokemon champion.

Victoria: None of us are as good as Vito, but we still have our own pokemon battles in his honor.

Vivi: only there is no one but us to battle against so it gets kinda boring.

Max: I could see that.

Jacob: Alright then what kinda battle?

Vicky: how about we go against each other, 4 on 4.

Jacob: Alright then, I accept the challenge.

Vicky: Victor leads on, with Victoria second, Vivi goes third and I'll be battling last, alright then you know the drill.

Winstrate family: yeah!

Brock: they're not lacking enthusiasm

Jacob: definitely, but who wants to battle with me?

Max: I will.

Jacob: Okay, I guess you can go against vivi, who else.

Brock:I'll Be going against victor.

May:and that leaves me with Victoria.

Jacob: Alright then, so where shall we battle?

Timeskip

The group was now in a homemade battlefield

Max: Wow this is just like a professional battlefield.

Vivi: yep our whole family pitched in to build it.

Jacob: Nice, now let's start battling.

Vicky: Okay I'll act as judge.

Victor: Since we're the home team, I'll go ahead and release my pokemon first.

Brock: Fine, I'm ready when you are victorious and may the best trainer win.

Max: okay here we go.

Brock and victor stepped into the battlefield while the others sat down and watched

Vicky: first round commencing, trainers prepare to begin, rules are one pokemon each and no time limit, it's victor for the home team vs brock for the visitors, begin!

Victor: Right here we go, I choose zigzagoon.

Victor summoned his zigzagoon

Brock: starting with zigzagoon huh, I can handle that Go mudkip!

Brock summoned his mudkip

Brock: water gun mudkip!

Mudkip launched a water gun but zigzagoon dodged it

Jacob: it dodged it!

Max: mudkip is in trouble, that zigzagoon is fast

Victor: zigzagoon, let's hit him with your thunder bolt!

Brock: what!

Zigzagoon's body became surrounded in yellow sparks as it released a powerful bolt of yellow electricity at mudkip

The attack hit mudkip and knocked him out

Brock: no mudkip!

Vicky: Mudkip is unable to battle, Victor wins, one for the home team, well done, I'm sure that Vito would be very proud of his dad.

Victor: Yeah, the old man still has some tricks.

Jacob: well that ended quickly, i did not except zigzagoon to know thunderbolt

Vivi: there aren't any power plants around here, so we taught it that attack to generate electricity for us

Victor: That's a relief, if I had started us off by losing your grandma would have had me shoveling manure for a year.

Vicky: What was that victor?

Victor: uhh nothing i said it's warm this time of year.

Brock: go get em may.

May: I will.

Brock then sat down next to jacob still upset about the lost

Jacob: ahh cheer up brock no one could have seen that one coming.

Brock:Oh yeah true I mean that's one strong zigzagoon.

Jacob: Let's hope we can win this round.

Vicky: the second battle, Victoria and may, let the match begin!

Victoria: Roselia go!

Victoria summoned her roselia

May: no way!

May began to have flashbacks about Drew and his roselia.

Jacob: oh boy this battle will be interesting, keep it together may

May:I've got this!

Victoria: Now don't you be too rough on our roselia!

May: oh I don't need sympathy from a roselia.

Max: look at that may is finally battling.

Brock: the fact that it's a roselia helped.

Jacob: definitely has grudges against them

May: beautifly, take the stage!

May summoned her beautifly

May: use gust!

Beautifly launched a gust attack that struck roselia

May: keep it up, now use silver wind!

Beautifly launched a silver wind attack

Vivi: Oh wow!

The silver wind struck roselia knocking her out

Victoria: Roselia, I never win these battles!

Vicky: I told her not to choose that pokemon, they never learn, the victory goes to may.

May: beautifly, you were great.

Max: That was awesome,may!

Jacob: definitely

Brock: that ties up the scores now one each

Jacob: alright max your up

Vivi and max got on the battlefield

Max: I haven't battled much vivi so I don't know how well im gonna do at this but I'll try my best to give you a good battle okay

Vivi: mhm that's fine with me and I'll do the same with you max

Vicky: That's the spirit, pokemon battles aren't just for winning and losing.

Vivi: and max it doesn't matter which one of us wins *winks at him* You and I are gonna be good friends, right?

Max: uh *blushing* Alright I guess so.

Jacob: ohohoho looks like max has a crush may.

May:It seems so.

Jacob: Yeah, I hope this battle doesn't change that.

Vicky: the third match will begin, vivi and max.

Vivi: marill i choose you.

Vivi summoned maril

Max:(blushing daze) vivi and max.

Jacob: yo maxy, battle started, daydream later.

Brock: yeah max you gotta concentrate .

Max: just getting psyched up, go mightyena .

Mightyena come on out

Max: Listen up mightyena, when marill attacks you dodge all of her attacks until you tire it out...

But instead of doing that mightyena ran towards marill

Max: hey what are you doing?!

Mightyena rushed into marill and knocked her out with iron tail

Vicky: marill is not able to battle, mightyena is the winner

Jacob: well that didn't go as planned

Vivi:(checking on marill) marill, maril!

Max: i hope it's okay

Vivi: oh right like you care after what you did

Max: Huh, I wasn't trying to hurt it!

Vivi: Go away, I hate you!

Max just stood there heartbroken

Jacob: oh boy well that didn't go well.

brock:Faster than my usual attempts on girls.

Jacob: uhh hey max it's okay buddy I mean at least you won right i mean that's great .

Max:(heartbroken) what's so great about it.

Jacob: oh god yep he's heartbroken alright, what a shame, well i guess it's my turn now wish me luck.

Jacob and vicky got on the battlefield

Jacob: It's just you and use now, even if you win this will end in a tie, even though I'm doing this as a favor, that doesn't gonna go easy on you, so give me all you got!

Meanwhile

Ghost and Vito arrived at the house

Vito: Well here we are, home sweet home.

Ghost:hm nice it seems a bit empty.*noticing the lights off and door locked*

Vito: if that's the case then they're probably on the battlefield out back.

Back with jacob

Vicky: *putting on a white headband* i grandma Winstrate, matriarch of the Winstrate clan and grandmother to Vito pokemon champion shall be victorious today

Jacob: i like your spirit, and I jacob jackson, the half pokemon human champion of kanto and johto shall win this round today

We then see ghost and vtio watching the battle from behind some rocks

Vito: there she is my grandma

ghost:Jeesus Christ That grandma has some real spirit. I hope she doesn't overdo it and have a heart attack because sheesh.

Vicky: let's begin the match, go Camerupt

Vicky summoned her camerupt

Jacob: Alright then, marshtomp your time to shine.

Marshtomp got onto the battlefield

Brock: now the final matchup and this one determines the winner and loser, let the match begin.

Jacob: marshtomp, water gun!

Marshtomp launched a water gun that struck camerupt doing some damage to him and sending him back a bit

Vicky: get up, it didn't hit ya that hard! Think of poor vito, you gotta keep fighting and make him proud of you, what if he were watching now!

Vito:*sweatdrop* I am watching.

Winstrate family: hang in there camerupt, go grandma!

ghost:Jesus your family must be on steroids man.

Vito:Shut it!

Camerupt then got back up

Vicky: yes! Now that's more like the fighting style of our vito, i only wish he were here to see this, sandstorm attack camerupt!

Camerupt blew air out of his nose, making dirt from the ground come up and creating a sandstorm at jacob and his group

the group covered themselves but jacob and marshtomp were unaffected

Vicky: Now hit it with take down camerupt!

Camerupt charged towards marshtomp

Jacob: iron tail marshtomp

Marshtomp struck camerupt's face with iron tail

Vicky:(gasp)

Vivi: not right in the face!

Vito: uh oh *puts on a hard hat* cover your egg

Ghost:MUST PROTECT THE EGGO!*puts the egg into a safety bundle*AND MYSELF!*Puts on a red hard hat*

The rest of the Winstrate family put on hard hats as well

Victoria: better start running things are about to get really hot here kids.

Max: what?

May: cover from what?

Jacob:(gasp) oh crap i just remembered something!

Flashback

We see a young jacob with arceus sitting on a hill staring at a herd of camerupts

Arceus: here is something you should know about camerupts son's never hit them on the head

Young jacob: why what will happen?

They then see a camerupt accidentally getting hit in the face by another camerupt. The camerupt then screamed and erupted

Camerupt: (screaming)

Flashback end

Jacob:...guys, run!

Camerupt face turned red in anger as his humps began to release smoke

Jacob: Guys, I just remember they camerupt out very mad when hit in the face, so mad that they erupt!

The camerupt then erupted

Jacob's team:(screaming)

Flaming rocks began to fall from the sky

Jacob: guys run for it!

They all began to run like hell trying to avoid the fire rocks

Ghost:GODDAMN IT! AH GOD IT'S EVERYWHERE YOU'RE NOT TOUCHING MY EGG BABY!

Ghost then ran off

Jacob then summoned these two handguns

activate

Jacob launched multiple water bullets at the rocks, jacob manged to shoot the rocks that were about to hit his friends

Jacob: Get close to me!

His friends huddled up to him as he began to shoot every rock that went their away, he then sees vicky standing there doing nothing

Jacob: aren't you gonna help!?

Vicky: that's my camerupt for ya once it's start you can't make it stop

Jacob: why didn't you tell me this before he got struck in the face, this is literally death from above *kept shooting the rocks*

The camerupt began to run around in a fit of rage

Vito: this is bad im gonna have to help out here

The camerupt then ran off the battlefield and was heading towards the house

Victoria: now it's heading straight for the house!

Jacob: It's lost control!

Victor: at this rate it's gonna wipe out all our crop *passes out*

Vivi: are you okay?!

Vicky: pull yourself together victor!

Jacob: we must stop him

Jacob ran towards the camerupt and grabbed him as he tried to hold him back

Jacob:(groaning) cmon calm down

He then began to get pelleted by flaming rocks

Jacob: (getting it by the rocks) ow ow ow ow will you stop it! Ow ow ow

Camerupt was getting close and closer

Vito: alright then help me out alakazam

Vito summoned his alakazam

Vito: rain dance now!

Alakazam crossed his spoons as a light blue energy ball formed in front of them. He then shot the energy ball into the sky, creating storm clouds and making it rain.

Jacob: What the?

The rained caused camerupt to calm down as he stopped just in time

Jacob: oh thank god, it's over

Timeskip

The rain was now over

Victor: that was close, we got that little rain storm just in time

Vicky: but we didn't finish our battle yet

Jacob: it's fine

Max: yeah we're just glad your crops our safe

Jacob: but i do wonder where did that rain storm come from

Vito was about to come out but just then

Vicky: i have a pretty good idea

Vito: huh

Vicky: someone with a gentle spirit was helping us out someone with a pokemon who knew rain dance

Vito: huh she knows it's me!

Vicky: Vito's a gentle child who doesn't like competing with others i should have never pushed him to become a pokemon champion, he's nearby somewhere so if he can hear my voice I tell vito that I only wanted what's best for him and I tell him one for thing, if on his journey of yours you discover what you really love then that is what you should go after with all your heart

Vito was happy to hear this

Vito:*smiled* oh grandma

Vicky: there's nothing wrong with chasing your dreams after all you only have one life so chase them as fast as you can, just know whatever you choice, your family will be right behind you the whole way

Jacob: awsome

Vito was happy knowing that he could know follow his dream, just then ghost returned next to him

Ghost:Man Now that's over with now time for a happily ever after.

Vito: it already happened, my grandmother supports my dream, i can now pursuit my real dream, thanks for giving me the courage to come back here ghost

ghost:OH it's no big problem think of it as payback for helping me and The baby!*lifts egg*

Vito: i was glad i could help, well I should now head out for my real journey, I wish you luck on your journey as well, I bet you'll be a good father to that egg

Ghost:hehe of course and hell maybe I'll get something along the way!

Vito: sure well I should go now, see ya!

Vito then left to start off his real journey

Timeskip

Jacob and his group were now back on course, jacob noticed that max was still upset about what happened with him and vivi

Jacob: hey buddy you okay?

Max:I'm fine.

Jacob: you know it's not your fault about what happened back there, but don't worry, you'll find someone
