Chapter 12

*Im gonna be only uploading one to two chapters a day, got a suggestion to compress everything more so you guys get to read more in a single chapter. It will make it more pleasant to read when there are more chapters released in the future. It's just like two chapters in one basically*

(Also, to clear up some things. Talent cannot be increased no matter what besides evolution as this changes their genetic structure and abilities, but not by much. This doesn't affect the potential of the pokemon to be a champion-level pokemon, but makes it extremely hard. If an orange talent pokemon was training to be a champion-level pokemon, it would take decades of just training and dedication, and that's assuming the pokemon has all the right training and nutrients to support itself. Not everyone has knowledge of specific types, even to help Pokemon train.)

Petalburg Woods is a place that trainers can be seen commonly and an area used to get to Rustboro city by trainers and civilians alike.

It's a very popular spot for trainers as it's a place easy to leave as there is only one path going straight through the area.

In a small part of the woods out of sight, there was a small conflict happening between a multiple people. Both parties, either wearing blue or red, holding Pokeballs. It seems to be nearing the end of the fight as some Team magma grunts start to retreat while Aqua grunts chase them.

"Quickly retreat we need to secure the box!"

A team magma shouts as he's being backed up by other grunts and a few Crobats and Mightyenas.

Team Aqua members desperately tell their Pokemon to attack to no avail. The team magma successfully left the area. The aqua grunts tired and exaushted.

"Dammit! They got here before us and got the stone!"

A team Aqua leader shouts in anger. Lifting his eyes, he starts to calm himself down.

'With both teams having a stone each, we will be invading their base sooner or later. As long as that chick Zinnia does her job right and doesn't mess up.'

(Zinnia is a side character in ORAS post-game if ya didn't know).

ORAS is Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire.

* * * Back to Brendan* * *

'Theres a lot of Pokemon here in Petalburg Woods thankfully theres a little road straight to Rustboro City. The Pokemon don't attack trainers unless provoked, which is lucky, or else i'd be bug food for all of the bug pokemon that live in packs.'

Brendan thought while shivering.

Bug pokemon generally stay away from humans because of them only needing to eat.

Currently walking through a wide path through Petalburg Woods, Brendan was walking with his Combusken.

Brendan has spent 3 weeks in the forest training now training is pokemon up. In this span of time training he evolved his Poochyena and Ralts into Mightyena and Kirlia.

The training mostly consisted of stamina training and agility to always be ready and dodge other Pokemons attacks as landing a direct hit to a Pokemon can decide the tide of the battle and the whole fight.

Brendan feeds his team a lot of Pokeblocks to make their bodies healthier and to supply them with the nutrients you can't get in the wild.

"Combusken stop running away with my bag. Come back!"

"Combusken!"

Combusken still the same as ever, running away with the extra Pokeblocks. He loves these Pokeblocks and when ever he can take all of them and even steal some when im not looking.

Treeko also evolved into a Grovyle after a battle with a bug catcher who had a Scyther. The Scyther was tough, but after a good few dragon breaths. Treeko, that is now a Grovyle got the job done.

* * * Pokemon Levels * * *

Brendans Pokemon:

Combusken: Mid Advanced-Level

Shiny Grovyle: Low Advanced-Level

Kirlia: Low Advanced-Level

Mightyena: Peak Rookie-Level

* * *

(You can see here that Talent makes a little difference in training, even though Brendan caught Poochyena first, fed him a little more Pokeblocks than the rest but still is behind regarding overall strength. But can still catch up eventually).

'Finally im out of Petalburg woods, walking is such a drag.'

Brendan while entering the city, spots a poster that catches his eye, a poster about a rookie tournament that's gonna be happening in a few weeks. The prize? The chance to select one Pokemon out of the three royal starters of Hoenn!

'Seriously? A chance to get a royal starter is a big thing, the tournament will be full of strong rookie trainers from all over Hoenn and will come and join this tournament. I must take advantage of this to get more fighting experience for my Pokemon.'

Brendans Pokemon are starting to get over confident because of their new evolutions, so Brendan needs to knock them down a notch so they will listen to him and train enthusiastically to get stronger.

Brendan after getting a copy of the poster, starts to head to the Pokemon centre. The outside of the PokeCentre looks like a huge modern apartment complex. The outside looks like a small entrance contrast to the huge building behind it. (Image)

The inside of a PokeCentre directly in front of you, there are three counters with nurse joys ready to heal to and help you with your problems with your Pokemon if they're injured. To the left of the building there are three more counters that will sign you in for a small room inside the PokeCentre if you need somewhere to live.

The right half of the PokeCentre is a little cafe area where you can see multiple people hanging out and talking with each other.

Brendan walking to one of the counters to check himself in hears a voice behind him.

"Hey is that you Brendan?"
