The great Pokemon training montage (Izzy and Masorin)

walking into the forested route of 39 Masorin looked around it would take a while for them to find any pokemon but like they had talked about at the pokemon center it came down to leveling they had to build there forces before they could fight falconer and simply put the two pokemon he had did not seem like they would fit the bill. it would take a lot more for them to get into shape.

The thunderstorm the night before had left the air smelling fresh and the grass wet this was truly one of the more ideal days for pokemon hunting. "Love the smell of the hunt in the morning."

Masorin walked into the grass and started what was reffered to as the trainers walk. looking around for a pokemon. "Well Izzy what can I say except welcome to the jungle."

Izzy had walked a few hours with Masorin to make it to Route 39. The grass was glowing and fresh after the storm last night, and the sky was clear with the sun shining bright. They were going to spend the next few days training their pokemon to be able to defeat Falkner. I’ll even get a chance to get myself a Spearow as well! izzy thought with a smile, It’ll be useful for later, and their sheer aggressiveness makes them great against a lot of pokemon, including other flyers She wanted her own Fearow like her father, but wanted her’s to be less laidback.

“The sky is nice today, a lot of pokemon will be out and about enjoying it” she commented after his statement of hunting. She wanted to train her pichu and totodile until they were good and ready to take a victory from Falkner, and any trainers they would come across.

“heh jungle indeed” she smirked a bit taking off her sunglasses, a nice breeze blowing through her short hair. She looked over the tall grass stared to look over it, “Do you see something over there?” she asked squinting her eyes trying to make out a small figure moving through the grass. Izzy pulled out her pichu’s pokeball and started to move closer.

Masorin turned to watch Izzy but decided to leave her to what ever the figure was that she saw. "You take that one Ill find the next one." Masorin said with a cold confidence she had found it she should get to kill it or catch it. mean while he will go out of his way to find some pokemon.

The Pidgy had found some small worms that had been forced above ground and was now absentmindedly eating his breakfast. he heard some rustling from the bushes near him but for the most part payed it no mind he was hungry and continued to peck at the ground haply ignoring the noises of humans who were gaining on him.

perfect! a great target for Twinkle! Izzy thought happily pressing the button on her Pichu's pokeball causing the orb to expand to its full size. "I choose you, Twinkle!" she shouted throwing her pokeball. The orb opened releasing an adorable Pichu. "Pi!chu!" she shouted glaring at the Pidgey, "Twinkle use Thundershock!" Izzy shouted right off the bat, "Pi. CHU!" the yellow pokemon shouted releasing a blast of electricity toward the tiny bird pokemon.

"Vul!" a voice growled out as a small blast of fire shot out toward Masorin. After the flames died down a beautiful Vulpix sprang out from the grass all crouched down with their fur sticking up on in, "vulpix" it growled swishing its tails back and forth. Masorin had wondered on its territory, which was just a small patch of grass around the tree, but it was the principle of the thing!

Masorin lit up like the fourth of july not only was it a fire pokemon but it had a fire attack which by the way was the reason he was lit up. he quickly patted himself out and looked at the vulpix this was gonna be good. He reached to his belt and threw the ball "Go Fluffy!" there was a burst of bright light and the cyndaquil appeared letting out a low growl as it saw the vulpix its back exploded into fire it seemed fluffy was ready for battle. "Tackle!" as soon as Masorin gave the order Fluffy was charging at the vulpix the first strike was drawn and the battle was started.

The pidgy was having such a good day untill it lit up like the fourth of july sparks flew everywhere as the bird was hit hard. he fell over twitching slightly before getting back on its claws. it was hurt it was probably faint after another shot like that but it would servive. its wings out stretched for a moment before charging the pichu going in for a strong tackle.

"Not going to catch this birdy Twinkle so finish it!" Izzy shouted. The Pichu growled and fell back as it was tackled, but flipped and landed on her back paws, "THUNDERSHOCK!" Izzy ordered and pichu released yet another blast of energy at the pidgey, feeling a warmth growing from her insides, filling her and making her want to fight more and more.

"Vul!" The fire pokemon released another burst of flames at the charging cyndaquil, but it would not stop the charging creature, "pix!" it grunted falling backwards before jumping up and shaking itself. It then turned so that its back would be facing the cyndaquil before shaking all six of its tails, Tail Whip a cute move to lower the aggressiveness of a pokemon. The vulpix was ready to defend its territory and keep the precious lump of grass, one half bush, and tree!

Masorin blinked watching the fire hit cyndaquil it wasn't vary effective really he watched the tail whip and he smiled slightly it really was a pokemon he shook his head "Its not weak enough take it down Tackle!" fluffy let out a small 'cyn' of conformation he charged the vulpex again trying to smack it with his head and push it into its own tree. its fire was going full force cyndaquil was annoyed!

the pidgy let out a cry and then fell to the ground twitching slightly as he looked up at the sky. other bird pokemon were flying care free and happy the pidgy had only just started life and breathed heavily the thunder shock had hurt it. it looked up at the sky and tried to move its wing tried to get some momentum some anything but in the end collapsed on the cold ground unable to move, unable to fly, but most of all unable to continue. "Pid...gy" it finnally closed its eyes sleeping not dead fainted from the pain.

The Vulpix tried to shoot another blast of Ember, but was struck down by the tackle. "Vul...pix" it grunted as it smacked into the tree. After a moment it hopped up panting before blasting Ember, scorching the grass as it blasted toward Cyndaquil. What a traitor! a fire pokemon with a trainer! A human... fire pokemon should have more pride! it growled again and swayed its tail.


Izzy smiled at her Pichu, Twinkle before walking over to the Pidgey. It was young she could tell that much. "..poor little guy" she sighed leaning down and picking the little guy up. "You helped me out... and i'm sorry to have hurt you," she sighed and placed the bird pokemon on a bed of soft grass next to a puddle of water, there were bugs around the water so the bird would have a snack when it woke up. She would have used a Potion if she had some to spare.

"pi...pi..." Pichu was standing by her head slightly tilted as the warmth got stronger, "Pichu" she squeaked as her whole body glowed brightly, "Twinkle?" Izzy questioned watching her pokemon. The white shape of Pichu seemed to morph to a more fuller shape with a larger tail and head and rounder body. "Pi...Pika.." the light faded, "chu?" a pikachu now stood where pichu was. "OMG YES!" izzy cheered running over and picking up her pikachu and hugging her tightly, "oh twinkle you're beautiful!" Izzy hugged the confused pikachu who was taking this new form and feeling all in.

Masorin smiled as the pokemon went for a tail whip that wasn't its smartest choice really another few tackles and he would have this vulpex on its knees. "What are you waiting for fluffy take it down. Tackle."

"Cynda!" the cyndaquil charged as its flames flared up and it charged the vulpix this match was cruel and unfair to start with but the cyndaquil was not gonna complain this was a wild pokemon it could never hope to match the strength cyndaquil had with a partner and trainer.

Masorin turned his head when he heard a shout of joy he blinked slightly it sounded like Izzy was happy, he wondered why but had to keep his mind on the prize.

Izzy was prancing around in a circle her Pikachu over her head as she cheered to herself, "I have a Pikachu, I have a Pikachu, She is super cuuute! I have a Pikachu!" she cheered giggling like a small child before pulling the fuzzy yellow mouse into a hug. "pika?" She blinked and finally realized what was happening, "Pika!" she cheered with her trainer taill swaying with the heart indented tip. "Oh you're so pretty!" Izzy squealed, "oh i know" she placed her Pikachu on her shoulder, "....awesome" she made a X3 face before pulling out her other pokeball for her Totodile, "Let's let Nibble have the next battle, you rest and get used to your new form" she cooed to Twinkle before walking toward the long grass to find another target for her Totodile to battle.

Vulpix tried to dodge, but was struck hard in its chest causing the red creature to be thrown back against the tree, "Vul! pi..x..." it grunted hitting the ground. It stood up again glaring at the Cyndaquil, front legs shaking before falling forward panting, "vulpix, vul" it grunted again closing its black eyes.

Masorin smiled and grabbed a pokeball chucking it at the vulpix who it hit with a thick thud against the pokemon's skull. there was a flash of light as the ball landed on the ground and began its shake Masorin gribbed his pokedex his hands pressing the A B and down button's causing the screen of his pokedex to flip threw the entries he already had. the ball shook once twice and then a third time before finally going silent. "Caught you!" he ran up and grabbed the pokeball. He smiled and clipped the pokemon back to his belt and walked back towards Izzy.

"So what are you so OH MY GOD IS THAT A PIKACHU!" masorin ran up to izzy to try and congragulate her but ended up tripping and hitting the ground hard three feet infront of her. "congrats... ow"

Twinkle waved at Masorin as he ran over, "Pikapi!" she greeted as Izzy turned to wave along, "Hey Masorin yeah she is, how did your-" she stopped mid sentence as Masorin fell on his face. "..." Izzy let out a laugh snorting a bit. "Smooth move" she snickered, holding her out for him to help him up. Her hand was trembling with excitement and glee. "So how did your fight go?" she asked, but she was in her own world of pokemon, fastforwarding to when she would have her finished team and each at their final stages and ready to beat down anyone that got in her way!

A few sounds caught Izzy's attention, one from her right, and one across the way behind Masorin, "Man this place is crawling with pokemon! We gotta keep going to keep on training!" She pumped her fist into the air, her pikachu following suit as she turned away and ran off past Masorin, toward the sound she last heard. The other noise got louder and was moving closer to Masorin, "Stan!" a creature grunted leaping out and glaring at Masorin running a hoof over the grass. A large stantler was glaring at the trainer ready to mow him down! (lvl 7)

"A stantler I didn't expect to be facing Bambie's mom in this place." he said as he got to his feet the creature was looking pissed at him so of course there was to be no mercy. he drew his pokeball and threw it. "Flandra your up!" the bright light disapated as flandra looked over at Masorin giving him a dark glare.

"why must woman hate me? Flandra ember!" at his command the Vulpix realeased a small bit of fire from its mouth towards the pokemon.

"Spear" the small bird pokemon glared at the trainer who approched it tilting its head as it moved spearow's were known to be angry when provoked this one was no different. as she came close it seemed to burst into action charging towards them with a furrious peck.

Izzy smirked, "Alright this is it! Twinkle go!" she ordered, "pika!" Twinkle ran forward toward the Spearow, "Twinkle use thundershock!" Izzy ordered "Pi-ka-CHUUUUUU!" she released a wave of energy that scorched the ground as it shot for the small bird pokemon. "wow such power.." izzy murmured watching the energy fly across the ground. She was so proud of her pokemon at this point.

"stan!" the stantler tried to step out of the way but the flames struck against his flank. It grunted but then shook its head before charging at the vulpix to tackle her down with powerful and sharp hooves.

Vulpix let out a cry as she was hit by the tackle sending her back onto her side "Flandra ember again.... and learn some more moves." Vulpix grunted as she got to her feet her legs shaking slightly as she regained her footing. "Vul!" she said as she unleashed a small torrent of flames.

The spearow was shocked to see a pickachu and then shocked litterally by the thundershock. the bird let out a cough not quite down but hurt none the less. he blinked slightly going after the pikachu with a peck but all the ferocity that the creature had was gone. As its body was beaten the attack was clearly super effective. but it would not be taken down not without a fight!

The stantler reared up, readdy to crush the Vulpix under hoof when the flames hit him in the stomach causing him to step back on uneasy back legs, "stan!" it shouted before stumbling back and striking his head hard against a tree @.@ "st-stantler" it grunted before passing out. Tree wins, gains a level! Nah kidding Vulpix won the match!

"Twinkle, use thundershock again!" izzy ordered some what thinking of catching the pokemon, but then deciding she wanted a different flyer and not one her father had. She wanted her own adventure, but always keep his hopes with her... She wanted a flyer that could beat anyone!

"Spear-OW!" the spearow let out a loud cry and then fell over fainted against the eletrical power of the Pikachu. the spearow was clearly unable to fight leaving Twinkle as the clear winner of the match.

Vulpix let out a small 'vul' as it was quickly returned. Masorin sighed as he looked around he could feel that his team was getting stronger but Vulpix needed a lot more work if she was to become as strong as the rest of her team. not to mention Lettuce it seemed his femail pokemon did not apreaceate him at all. but rather wanted him dead for some un explainable reason. his only explination was that he was no good with the other gender. "Izzy! come on lets get out of the grass and have some lunch."

Izzy smiled at her pikachu, now lvl 8, very proud of her actually. When izzy got her hands on a Thunderstone all would be extra awesome! "oh okay masorin" she called out jogging over to him her pikachu, twinkle on her shoulder.

"yeah let's eat, i am hungry" she yawned and sat down her head lolling back as she yawned. "So what d you have to eat?" she asked her stomach growling with hunger.

Reno sat down in the field and began going threw his bag. "I have lets see." he pulled out various small things that he had gotten from the pokemon center which usally gave out two or three days of provisions to trainers. "in Packed meals i have stew or beans. in dried meats i have jerky we used the last of the bacon and eggs from the miny cooler at the cave. but I don't got much else."

he sighed "I think if we combine the two beef stews we got we could make a good meal. ill get the pots could you make the fire pit?" he said as he started to rumadge threw the camp gear. "I never will understand how this small bag carries so much." he said out loud to no one in particular as he searched for the supplies he would need to make the meals.

Izzy grabbed Masorin's hand, "hey i'll cook today, you just relax and use a pokemon to make the fire" she stated politely taking his bag away and starting to rummage through grabbing a few seasoning packs. She then went into her bag and pulled out sodas for them as well as the pokemon food she had. Izzy then pulled out her pokeballs, "Alright boys and girl let's relax on the grass" she stated releasing her Pikachu, Totodile, and her newest member Blaze the Houndour who was still a skittish creature around so many pokemon and even Masorin, but was such a sweetheart.

"Pika!" Twinkle cheered bouncing slightly with Nibble, "toto!" "houn..." Blaze grunted laying down close to Izzy as she started to mix things into a pot, "Nibble use watergun LIGHTLY!" she ordered and her totodile compiled before sitting and ripping out grass with twinkle throwing at each other playfully. "Relax blaze you'll lose all your blue fur if you keep being so stressed" she chuckled petting him between stirring making what Masorin had suggested, she just needed him to have made the fire.

Masorin started work on the fire pit and then gathered some wood enough to get a decent cooking fire going. after seeing everything up he released his team. Fluffy his cyndaquil was a temperamental but nice creature, followed by lettuce the chikorita who clamped her jaws around his hand. Tears welled up in Masorin's eyes as he tried his best to pry lettuce from his hand. the next pokemon out was Flandra who gave a cold glare to Masorin but thankfully wasn't as aggressive . and then finally the glorious blue fire Ponyta Daroshire the pride of his collection thus far. "Vulpix use ember on the fire wood."

Flandra let out a small flame ignighting the fire. Masorin knew she could have used something to ignight it herself but that wasn't his problem right now his problem was the pain in his hand. He waved his hand lightly "Fire is made." he said as the pokemon began to chill out and eat some of there own pokemon food which masorin put out for them.

Izzy chuckled at Masorin's Chikorita and continued to cook her Houndour sitting right against her as he whimpered. "Oh blaze relax" she whispered giving him his own bowl of food which he wagged his tail and started to eat. Twinkle and Nibble started to eat their own food talking happily between themselves, Nibble was more of a bully at times, but was a nice dude all together, and Twinkle was just a fun ball. Izzy's personality brought the best out of her pokemon, but Blaze the Houndour just needed a little more work to get some more courage.

"So Masorin food is now... ready" she stated taking a lattle and putting a good chunk of stew into a bowl for him and handing him a soda to drink. "i wish we had made this in the morning, more time for the meat to soften, but just chew slowly and it'll taste just fine" she smiled making her own bowl, she liked cooking, did not do it often but she enjoyed it. She looked at Masorin's pokemon and could not help but think his female pokemon did not really like him, and over all they were all pretty espically the Ponyta he caught, it was shiny just like Blaze.

Masorin smiled as he took the bowl and the soda looking at his team sure the females in the group didn't like him but the males Fluffy and Daroshire did as he asked. and chikorita would listen to him in combat she just didn't like him. and so if that was the price he had to pay to be there trainer so be it.

He looked over at Izzy's team her houndour was cute and blue most were black so that meant it was a rarity in the wild like his ponyta. He smiled "thank you the food It's really good." he said as he chewed sure the meat was tough but he could still eat it. and its flavor was actually really good. all in all it was nice warm soup and the soda was refreshing. "there good pokemon." he said admiring Izzy's team "How do you get the females to behave?"

Izzy blinked at Masorin, "well.. twinkle is my only female pokemon and i've had her since she hatched." she explained, "and well your pokemon might just not like being ordered by some guy" she suggested with a shrug. "I suggest spending time with them and maybe giving them treats, i bet your chikorita would like something sweet to nibble on, and your vulpix might just be a bitch" she took a bit of her chewy meat.

Izzy was starting to think what she would do if she was in masorin's postion, sure her Totodile did not like her at the start, but like her HOundour he learned 'hey free food life's good'. Her houndour was just a big baby who wanted a friend and he felt izzy was that person. Twinkle was a bit too happy all the time, but again Izzy was her mother... was there for her since she was born, so of course she would be nice. hope none of my pokemon ever hate me... i want to be just friends with them all

"Give them treats? of course earn there trust threw meaningless bribery." the plan was so simple that it made perfect sense. if his team figgured out that he was worth keeping around then they wouldn't be so mean to him, and start respecting him as a trainer. his chikorita may bite the hand that feeds it but he doubted it would bite the hand that feed it treats. he rumedged threw his pockets finding a pokemon treat that he had gotten from the pokemon center.

"Lettuce come here girl." Lettuce walked up as the treat was put in front of her. it blinked tilted its head slightly and then Bit down on Masorin's hand. "Ow i was wrong it does bite the hand that gives it candy!" he said flailing as lettuce refused to let go of his hand.
