Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I don't own anything and any Pokedex are direct quotes from a episode.

"Paul, nice to see you again!" Reggie smiled. "How have you been?"

"Fine." I answered grimly. I know that no matter what I did Reggie would be there for me. Even though I don't agree with how he gave up after his defeat against Brandon, I will avenge him. I will defeat both Brandon and Ash. "How are things over there?"

"Pretty good. Training with your Pokemon is great for my everyone. Torterra and the others are practicing really hard and gotten a lot strong since you last saw them." I smiled, it was good to hear my Pokemon weren't slacking off and taking a vacation. If Reggie is lying to me about that they will pay the price. They all know I picked them because each of them showed high potential and have unique skills making them right for the job.

"I need a favor." I stated. Reggie leaned in close curiously. "Ash and I are having another six on six battle at your house in one week from today is that okay?" He smiled and nodded. I haven't seen that smile since Ash and mine last battle at the Sinnoh League. He wanted me to win. You could see it clear in his eyes. The passion he use to have when he had when was a trainer. Before he lost it all.

"Don't underestimate Ash. He probably has gotten a lot stronger since the last time you two battled."

"I don't make the same mistake twice. I will win this." I really didn't need him to remind me about my lost. I know my place in this world. It is the beat everyone and be the strongest. I will show power is everything and hard work pays off.

"I'll get everything ready. How you thought about your line up yet?"
I shook my head. "Im waiting on the progress of the Pokemon I have now."
"Okay then. I'll talk to you later." he smiled and sighed off. We tended to keep things to the point. I really only called him my Pokemon, if he wasn't a breeder than I would only meet him on the battlefield every once and a while.

"Bye." I closed my eyes and thought about what I was going to do. My strategy was half planned out if Weaville can master surf in a few days, the way I wanted it to be done. I walked back over the Nurse Joy who handed me back my Pokemon. "Thanks." I began to walk out the door to start my training up again. I threw my Pokeballs in the air, as they popped open. My two loyal Pokemon stood under there. Weaville on the other hand didn't seem to be as focused as I wanted him to be.

"Get back to work." I said grimly, as i turned around. "I'll be back soon." I walked back into the Pokemon Center and I sat down at a table. I was training so hard, that I had forgotten to eat dinner. I grabbed an apple and a sandwich at the cafeteria. I took a bit on the juicy red apple. It crunched loud. I thought and thought about who I was going to use for my line up. Ash has been in Unova for a while and there is no telling what new Pokemon he has. Knowing what Pokemon he had in the past. He should have Pikachu, a grass type, a flying type, a fire type, and a water type. However that arises another question, will he use his new Pokemon or his old one? Then what will his last slot be? I pondered this for awhile. I was stuck. There was no telling what exact Pokemon he was going to use. Knowing Ash, he might just pull a fast one on me use the same Pokemon in our las battles. It didn't matter, no matter who he was going to use. I will beat them. I will not loose to him or anyone again. Before I even knew it, I was done with everything. After putting everything away, I head back outside. Everyone was working on their own.

"Har-ri-ya-ma. Har-ri-ya-ma. Hariyama!" Hariyama chanted, as it used close combat on a tree. He was punching and kicking not even breaking the bark. The tree rattled, as leaves fell to the ground. It was better, however it still wasn't perfect. I want see a least some damage to the tree. I gazed over to Magmortar, who was using psychic to levitate himself in the air. I wouldn't call it great. Sure he is up in the air, however I have seen Psychic types do a lot more with this move. I want to see him levitating with a boulder or few. That's would be until he got that under control and then add more. However what really catch my eye was Weavile. There was no progress here. He was just circling around and around. All of a sudden, Weavile created a little wave. Then that slashed onto Magmortar, who lost balance and came crashing down into Hariyama.

"Pathetic." I said well everyone picked themselves up. "Hariyama, come with me. The rest on you," I glared directly at Weavile. "better have some progress when I'm back." Hariyama and I walked over to a different tree. "Alright, remember what I said to you earlier today?" Hariyama nodded its head. "Speed is an important part of making an attack. If you don't have speed, you will never land a punch on your opponent. You will be giving them an opening that's not what you want." I went over to the ground and picked up two rocks about the same weight. "Hold these in your hands," I continued, as I showed Hariyama what to do. I hit the tree at full force many times. I could feel the vibrations in my arm. "Work on using close combat and getting faster and faster. By the time I'm back there better be marks in the tree." I tossed him the rocks and walked over to Magmortar and Weavile. I didn't even need to look get at Weavile to know what was happening.

A/N: Okay, I'm not posting another chapter until I get a least 4 more reviews from people. DIFFERENT people. I'm sorry guys it's just if people aren't reading it is worth to continue this story?
