Fortunately for Lianna, the Pokémon Center was not so busy. "Nurse Joy?" Lianna asked. "Yes, can I help you?" She asked her. "I need some healing." Lianna said. "Of course." Nurse Joy said, taking her Pokémon and healing them up. Lianna sat and waited, soon she was finished.

"Your Pokémon are healed and are in fighting fit." She said. "Oh! Thanks!" Lianna said, gathering her new team of Oddish, Bellsprout, Goldeen, Diglett, Charmander and Eevee. "You're welcome, take care." Nurse Joy said. Lianna sent everyone outside. Everyone aS out of their balls. "I request a Double Battle." Lianna said. They looked confused by what she was talking about. "Goldeen and Charmander vs. Bellsprout and Diglett." Lianna said. They looked at one another.

"This will be fun. Don't you guys want to potentially evolve?" Lianna asked. They agreed with her, but Bellsprout was having second thoughts. "Bellsprout? What's wrong?" Lianna asked. Bellsprout looked doubtful about evolving. "Hmm... Oddish, you want to battle instead?" Lianna asked. "Oddish!" She called out, jumping. "I take that as a yes." She said. Oddish smiled. "Okay! Everyone go onto your sides of the battlefield!" Lianna ordered.

"Excuse me, but not battling in a Pokémon Center. Please take it outside." Nurse Joy said. "Woopsies!" Lianna called out, taking them outside. They followed her outside of the Pokémon Center. "Ready you guys?" Lianna asked. They looked pretty keen on battling. "Goldeen, use Water Pulse on Oddish, Charmander, use Dragon Rage in Goldeen, Diglett, use Dig in Charmander and Oddish, use Stun Spore on Goldeen!" Lianna called out. They used their moves and took damage, with Goldeen getting paralyzed. "Charmander, use Metal Claw on Diglett, Goldeen, Horn Attack on Charmander, Oddish, Absorb on Goldeen and Diglett, Scratch Oddish!" Lianna commanded.

They attacked and hit each other. Goldeen and Diglett fainted, with Oddish starting to evolve. "Oddish, you're evolving!" Lianna called out. Oddish evolved into a Gloom. "Gloom!" Lianna called out. "Gloom." Gloom said. Lianna smiled and looked over at Charmander, Diglett and Goldeen. They looked at her. Lianna healed up Goldeen and Diglett. "Bellsprout, why don't you want to evolve?" She asked her. Bellsprout shrugs. "I wish you could evolve into a powerful Victreebel." She said. Bellsprout sighed. Lianna frowned sadly.

Her other Pokémon walked towards them. Lianna held Bellsprout's leaves. Bellsprout looked at her. Lianna hugged him and Bellsprout felt better. "You want to attempt a battle?" Lianna asked. Bellsprout nods with doubt that he may evolve. "Maybe we shall should wait..." Lianna said. "Sprout." Bellsprout said. Lianna quickly went inside and exchanged Gloom and Bellsprout for Horsea and Venonat. Lianna now had Horsea and Venonat under her care. Lianna headed back, but her other Pokémon, Charmander, Eevee, Diglett and Goldeen were gone!

"Guys?" Lianna asked nervously. They were nowhere to be seen. Lianna was panicking. A pink hedgehog approached the scene from atop a tall area. "Hey you down there. You okay? You look like you're in trouble." She said. "Who are you?" Lianna asked. "Not important, but what is important is..." She said, showing two cages with two of her Pokémon in each cage trapped inside. "That I have your Pokémon now." She said and grinned.

"Guys! No!" Lianna cried out in horror. The four Pokémon see their trainer and called for her to help them. "Hear that? They want you to help them, how cute." She taunted. "Let them go!" Lianna growled in anger. "Why should I? I caught those Pokémon fair and square. Now they'll be very useful to Team Rocket's cause. Because I've revived it." She said. "No! I won't let you steal them! Someone! Help me! Eevee, use Hyper Beam!" Lianna commanded Eevee. Eevee used Hyper Beam in an attempt to break the cage free but it didn't do a thing. "Aww too bad. Looks like my Move-proof dates can't be touched by attacks." She taunted.

"SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!" Lianna pleaded. "Up to your old tricks again, Triple?" A voice asked. "It's you Fukua." Triple the Hedgehog replied. "That's right. Now why don't you give that rabbit her Pokémon back?" Fukua asked Triple. "Why should I?" She asked. "Because I said so." She said, holding up a Dusk Ball. "Unless you want to see my best Pokémon again." She said. "Grr... Fine then." Triple growled, throwing the cages back to Lianna. "Take them, I'm out of here." She said and fled.

Lianna ran up to Fukua and hugged her in happiness. "Hey hey, stop it before someone sees us." Fukua told Lianna. Lianna let go of Fukua. "Thank you Fukua!" Lianna said in relief. "Don't worry about it, did you get all of your Pokémon back?" She asked her. Lianna opened up the cages. Her Pokémon jumped out. "You're okay!" She said happily to them. The Pokémon looked fine. Lianna hugged them. They hug back. "Thank you so much." Lianna said to Fukua. "No sweat it. But I suggest you keep your Pokémon safe at all times. Do you carry them in their balls or in your arms?" She asked. "Okay. Thank you." Lianna said, not listening to her question.

"Yeah okay, but do you carry them in their balls or in your arms?" She asked her again. "The safety of their Pokéballs." Lianna replied. "But then, how did she catch them?" Filia asked. "I went to get two other Pokémon." Lianna replied. "Oh, and you left the others out here?" She asked. "Yes..." Lianna replied sadly. "Oh. Well then you better stop doing that from now on, it's way too dangerous and careless for a trainer." Fukua replied. "Sorry..." Lianna replied. "Don't worry about it, just promise me you won't be so careless like that." She said.

"I promise." Lianna said. "Good." Fukua said. "Why did a Team Rocket grunt attack?" Lianna asked. "She was just getting some Pokémon." Fukua said. "At least you saved my Pokémon..." Lianna said. "Yeah. But next time I won't be around, so learn to be more responsible and don't leave your Pokémon around. Make sure they're safe at all times, or next time you won't see them again." Fukua warned. "Yes ma'am." She said to her. "Good." Fukua said. Lianna smiled.

"Well, see ya!" Fukua said, heading off. "Bye." Lianna said. "See ya!" Fukua called out, then fading away. "Okay! You guys, stay close!" Lianna ordered. "Or send them back into their balls." Fukua's words rang in her mind. Lianna returned her pals. They go back into their balls except for Eevee, she jumps onto Lianna's head. "What should we do now?" Lianna asked Eevee.

"Vee!" Eevee said with a determined fighting look on her face. "You want to train?" Lianna asked. "Vee." Eevee replied, nodding. "Okay!" Lianna called out. "Eevee!" Eevee replied.

The two friends headed off to the nearby forest.
