I jumped down to the bottom of the dragons den and looked around for some Pokemon that would be worth training.

I stuffed my hands in my pockets and looked to the left, then to the right. I decided on the right and walked down the rugged path.

A flash of yellow and white caught my attention and I turned to see a Swablu. but not any Swablu, a shiny. This was extremely rare and Altara wasn't a bad Pokemon ether. I pulled my Gyarados's Pokéball off my belt and ordered him to attack the small Pokemon.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO WINDY!?!?" A voice suddenly yelled.

I turned around and saw a small girl about nine standing there with her arms crossed. She was glaring at me but most her face was shadowed in the dim light. From what I could tell she had light brown hair that fell just under her shoulders.

"Buzz off pipsqueak. I'm catching this Pokemon."

"If you attack her again, you'll be sorry." She glared.

"What are you going to do about it?"

She let out a shill whistle and what seemed every Pokemon it the entire Dragons den teamed up behind her.

"I! Said! Leave! Her! Alone!" The girl glared.

I flinched under the glares if the wild Pokemon, deciding it best to do what she said. I returned my Gyarados and walked off, not giving the girl a second look as she ran to the Swablu's side. She spoke to it softly as the wild Pokemon around her disbanded.

.*.*.*. A few hours later .*.*.*.

I walked up to the Blackthorn city gym and saw a man guarding it.

"Gym leader Clair is busy. If you want a battle then you're going to have to find her." He said simply making me sigh with annoyance. I wondered the streets looking for the gym leader.

Eventually I found her sitting with the same brown haired girl and shiny Swablu from the Dragons den. They were talking quietly and after a minute the girl stood up and walked away, not giving me a second look as she walked straight passed.

Clair stood up and looked at me. "I'm guessing you want a battle?"

I nodded and she smiled. "I'll be waiting at my gym." With that she walked in the same direction as the girl, but I couldn't get rid of the feeling that...

I knew her from somewhere...
