I was in the Pokemon Center in Undella Town watching the TV as news reporters flew to Opelucid City to interview Drayden and the residents of what happened. I could tell that Drayden wasn't proud to be questioned on his ability as a mayor, but I knew better than them.

Reporter:"So, was it you who chased out Team Plasma all by yourself?"

Drayden:"No. I have to give credit to a young man known as (Y/n)."

Reporter:"Wait, the boy that played Riolu Kid?"

Drayden:"Yes."

Reporter:"Did you hear that folks? Riolu Kid and Drayden teamed up to fend off Team Plasma and protect the innocent people of Opelucid City!"

I sighed as my Xtransceiver went off. I opened it to see Roxie, Elesa, and Skyla in call.

"Yeah?"

Roxie:"(Y/n)! Are you okay?!"

"I'm perfectly fine but I honestly didn't expect my return to be action packed again."

Elesa:"You can't be too reckless!"

"That's some advice that I won't listen to."

Skyla:"Please! We don't want to have a heart attack if something were to happen to you."

"Don't worry. I promise to be safe."

They ended the call and I walked out and saw a blue tunnel going underground. There was a sign that read: Marine Tube Ahead. The Walk-Through Aquarium

It was a long tunnel underwater that showed what was beneath the sea with Pokemon swimming about. It was honestly quite a spectacle and something to ease my mind of what just occurred the other day. I stood still and watched a Mantine swimming.

A/n: Honestly, this is really good for a DS game.

"I should bring the girls here sometime."

I made it through the tube and resurfaced to find myself in Humilau City. Hugh met up with me and told me to beat the gym first before moving on with catching Team Plasma. So, I walked inside to be stopped by Clyde.

Clyde:"Yo, if you're looking for the gym leader he went off yelling about swimming in the sea."

"What the hell?"

I walked out to go look for him. I reached an area where houses were built on top of the sea close to the shore when someone jumped out from the water and landed on the boardwalk.

Marlon:"Sup dude? You must be here to challenge the Pokemon gym! I'm the leader, Marlon. Sorry to make you look for me, yo. I was swimmin' with the Pokemon, and it felt real good, so I kept goin' and goin'. I'll be waitin' in the gym, 'k?"

He sounds exactly one of those classic surfer bros. "Aight man."

He nodded and ran to his gym. I followed after him. The puzzle required me to ride giant lily pads to eventually reach Marlon. I tore through the trainers with ease thanks to Stormy.

Marlon:"Sup! Here already, huh?"

"You bet!"

Marlon:"You look strong! Shit man, let's get this thing underway!"

The battle started and he kicked things off with a Wailord.

"Stormy! Use Discharge!"

Stormy:"Ampha!"

She released a surge of electricity from her body that hit Wailord and brought it down. He sent a Mantine out next.

"Discharge once again!"

She attacked and brought Mantine down. His next Pokemon was a Carracosta.

"Use Power Gem!"

Stormy's tail and forehead glowed as glittering rocks formed in midair and were launched at Carracosta. It struck him all over and dealt a good amount of damage because it was a critical hit. It ate a Sitrus berry to gain some health and used Shell Smash to raise its attack and speed but lower its defenses.

Marlon:"Dude... You're like a wicked storm! Rock Slide!"

Rocks formed overhead and they crashed down on Stormy.

"No!"

Stormy rose up from the rubble and whimpered in pain but toughed it out.

"Discharge!"

She attacked and brought down Carracosta. He sent out his last Pokemon which was a Jellicent.

Marlon:"Aww, dude... I know I'm about done, but I'm still just so pumped up!"

"Discharge!"

She released another surge of electricity and it almost brought down Jellicent. It was then paralyzed by the attack and ate a Sitrus berry to heal up.

Marlon:"Shadow Ball!"

It attacked Stormy who withstood the attack but was heavily damaged.

"Finish it!"

Stormy:"AMPHAROS!"

With one last Discharge, I won the match.

Marlon:"You don't just look strong, you're strong fo' reals! Eh, I was swept away, too! Oh yeah, yo. I was so surprised that I forgot! I gotta give this to you!"

(Y/n) received the Wave Badge from Marlon!

And with that, I had finally obtained my final gym badge for this region and also obtained TM55 Scald. After congratulating me, he jumped out into the sea as I shook my head and exited the gym.

Hugh:"You got all of the badges! You're really something! Usually, you'd go to the Pokemon League now, but..."

"Stopping Team Plasma comes first right?"

Hugh:"Right!"

Marlon then came out of nowhere which shocked me because he dove away from the gym.

Marlon:"Sup yo! What's this Team Plasma you're talking about do?"

Hugh:"Team Plasma does things like steal my sister's... I mean people's Pokemon. They plan on conquering Unova by using Pokemon to freeze it solid! They're really evil! Haven't you heard of them, Marlon?"

Marlon:"Nah bra. When the ocean's your home, you don't worry about things like that. 'Cause the ocean accepts all rivers! So, (Y/n), you think Team Plasma's bad, then?"

"Definitely! They froze Opelucid City just for some weird Toblerone looking item!"

Marlon:"I get it. They're bad, so you fight 'em. But, first, you got to say that in your own words. When you do, you'll understand better what you want to do and what you're hopin' for! Well then..."

He then walked off into the distance.

Hugh:"Man, I don't know if that guy is laid back or just irresponsible. That kinda got me down, but our opponent is Team Plasma! We have to focus! But, before that, we have to find where they are! OK! We'll split up! You check Route 22! Got it?"

"10-4 good buddy."

We bumped fists before he walked away. I went to Route 22 and found a strange Pokemon.

?:"The one radiating such a tremendous presence before you is none other than Terrakion!"

I turned to see Colress walking my way.

Colress:"It's been a long time. Terrakion is one of the three Pokemon who protected Pokemon from the flames of human conflict! It seems likely that Terrakion has picked up the scent of danger that emanates from Team Plasma. It's probably seeking a Pokemon trainer who has the strength to stand up to them. It's very interesting that Terrakion appeared before you! That aside, do you plan to confront Team Plasma?"

"Hell yeah I do!"

Colress:"I see. If that's the case, you must have the power to protect your own Pokemon! Being protected by Pokemon alone doesn't make you a trainer! It's because trainers are strong, because they care about their Pokemon, that these Pokemon can also be strong! Here! This is from me!"

He gave me some weird brick phone looking item.

Colress:"This is a prototype of my device that energizes Pokemon! It doesn't work on battling Pokemon, but you may find it useful for something! Well then, I wish you a safe journey!"

He began to walk away before stopping.

Colress:"Now that I think about it! In the Seaside Cave on Route 21, I saw something that reminded me of when we met on Route 2."

With that, he walked off as I turned to face Terrakion.

Terrakion: You're the trainer that caught Cobalion and Virizion correct?

"Yeah, that's me."

Terrakion: I can tell you're something special, Kid. Now let's battle!

I tried using a Quick Ball on him but he broke out. I paralyzed with Stormy then switched out to Toph. I literally caught him with my first Ultra Ball.

"Hm... I think I'll call you Bumi. Now, I should head to that cave he mentioned."

I traveled south of Humilau City and battled a few trainers before reaching the Seaside Cave. I encountered a Crustle near the exit just like back on Route 4. I used the machine Colress gave me and it woke it up and attacked me. I battled it and exited the cave.

Saving...
Don't turn off the power.
