EPISODE 5: A Chaotic debut!

We were embarrassed as we walked slowly towards the office of Ms. Beatrice. Kids and professors looking at us, I could see some of them looking and whispering about me and Glade, everybody was so still, it was like the world stopped moving.

"Enter the room and wait for me here, don't you dare go anywhere!" warned Ms. Beatrice.

We sat down silently, I was about to cry.. thinking about my future.

"Hey Glade, what if we get expelled?" where would we go to?"

*Shinx lays at Glade's lap.*

"Don't think such a thing, maybe Ms. Beatrice would give us a second chance." Glade comforted me.

"If only my parents were not professors... They would be here, hugging me." I said as the tears from my eyes flowed.

"I miss my parents too... If they were here I would hug them really tight." Glade said as tears also flowed from his eyes.

"Do you think they could still be alive?" I asked Glade.

"Like what detective Looker said, no one could have survived that explosion."

"They were gonna save the world... But from what?" I asked Glade as my tears went on and on.

"That's what I ask my self as well sometimes," said Glade.

Riolu and Shynx tried wiping our tears from our eyes, but we couldn't stop sobbing.

"You know, before I left, detective Looker said that a Pokemon did it" I explained.

"A Pokemon-

Ms. Beatrice interrupted our conversation as she walked angrily towards us.

"Explain... I did say you can do anything you wished to do, but I also said to do it with Justice and Excellence didn't I? Ms. Beatrice said.

I and Glade explained why we went to the forest, we did not hesitate to tell the truth because we knew that if we would lie, we would get into more trouble. She first asked Glade.

"What is your dream dear?"

"My... My dream was to catch every single Pokemon in the world."

"About you Kalem? Do you have a dream as well?"

"I want to become... a Pokemon master like my grandfather! but now, after the death of my parents, I stopped, I stopped pursuing my dream."

"What if you didn't stop? What if you continued to pursue your dream Kalem?"

"Then I would travel around the world, collecting gym badges and competing at Pokemon leagues."

"Then? What next?" she asked.

"What do you mean miss?"

"What would you do after you achieved your dream?"

"I will grow stronger and stronger and become the very best!"

"Stronger only?"

"And of course, to become closer with my Pokemon."

"Then what next? what will you do after you and your Pokemon achieved that?"

"Then, Ummm... actually, I've never thought of that yet, right Riolu?"

*Riolu smiles*

"About you Glade, what happens if you catch all types of Pokemon in the world?"

"I've never thought of that either..."

"The sons of famous professors around the world do not know what to do after they achieved their dream? I'm shocked."

"Dreams always come into reality if you never give up on them, they can be far to reach, but if you reach for the stars, you'll always achieve your dream, that's what most people say... but what to do after? what to do after you achieve your dream?" she continued.

"When I was a young girl I was mischievous just like the both of you, and just like everyone else I had a dream like yours Kalem. To become a Pokemon master. Did I achieve my dream? Yes, I did, when I was 20 I earned the title of becoming a Pokemon master."

"But here's what I thought, what to do now? since I already achieved my dream?"

"That's for the both of you to figure out... what would you do if you're done with your dream?"

"Kalem, Glade, the reason why I'm telling you this is, because, if you continue to do such mischievous things you are leading yourselves farther from your dreams, I don't want that to happen, because what I wanted to do after I achieved my dream is too... too lead others to their own dreams.

"We're very sorry miss Beatrice."- Glade said.

"It's fine, anyone can make a wrong turn once in a while, now run along now you two and prepare for dinner."

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Miss Beatrice"- the both of us said.

While we were about to leave the room, she said.

"Remember, don't stop pursuing your dream, train and become stronger as you grow closer with your Pokemon, balance is the key to success."

"We will" we said happily.

While walking, we thought of what Ms. Beatrice said, it inspired me to become a Pokemon master, I will become a Pokemon master, and I will make my parents proud, even if they are not here with me.

"I guess, Ms. Beatrice was kind after all". Glade said.

"Yeah, her words even inspired me to achieve my dream."

"Well then, let's go eat dinner shall we?" I said to Glade.

We were walking towards the dining hall, when suddenly

"Help! Help! both of you, please my Pokemon was kidnapped!"

"Kidnapped? Really?" I asked.

"Yes please help me, you've got to save my Pokemon! they're in danger!"

"Alright then lead the way, we'll help you save your Pokemon" Glade said.

"Thank you, follow me..."

She led us to the front of the Emerald forest.

"The kidnappers they went through the forest."

"But didn't Ms. Beatrice told us not to go back?" Glade whispered to my ear.

"This time, its different, A pokemon needs our help" I said.

"Are you too gonna start a conversation or are you gonna help me?"

"Come on Glade, we have to do what is right, and what's right is to help those who are in need."

"Your right Kalem. Come on let's go!"

The three of us went through the forest looking for the Pokemon. But we couldn't find it.

"Roselia!!!" She called on her Pokemon's name.

While we were looking through the fog of the Emerald forest, we heard an explosion! We saw leaves flying up in a spiral formation!

"Its Roselia's leaf storm attack! We must follow it!"

"You're right, maybe it will lead us to your Roselia," Glade said.

We followed the leaf storm, and hid behind the bushes, we saw strange people wearing strange uniforms.

"Come on, the boss is waiting for us in the headquarters!"

"Tell that to this persistent Roselia, she keeps forcing her self to let go!"

"I'll deal with this, prepare the air balloon."

meanwhile in Citrus home for the lost...

"Where could they be again?" Beatrice wondered, while waiting patiently.

______________________________________

"They're team Chaos! A group of bad people who loves to steal people's Pokemon."

"Hey Kalem, didn't detective Looker told us to watch out for these grunts?"

"Yeah, I know Glade, but a Pokemon is in trouble its now or nothing..."

"Wait what are you planning to do?" she asked.

"I'm gonna battle them like a trainer!" I answered.

"But you don't know how to battle!" Glade said.

I rushed out from the bushes and said:

"Stop you two and release Roselia!"

"Or what?" one of the grunts asked.

"I'll battle you!"

"He he he, Go ahead kid, if you win this match, then you can have Roselia, but if you lose, Riolu is ours as well. Do we have a deal?"

"Alright then!" I said with no doubt or worries.

"Koffing! Show this kid what battling is all about!" the grunt said as he chose his Pokemon for battle.

"Riolu I choose you!"

"I'll give you the pleasure, you may attack first." the grunt said.

"Riolu use Karate Chop!"

"Koffing! Dodge then use Sludge bomb"

Sludge bomb hit Riolu hard! It was effective since Riolu was not used to battling.

"Come on Riolu! stand up!"

"I... I can't" Riolu said.

"We can't lose!" I convinced Riolu to stand up.

"Koffing finish this with sludge bomb!"

The attack was about to hit, until...

"Alakazam use Psychic!"

It was headmaster Beatrice with her partner Alakazam.

"Oh no... its mother!" the girl looking for Roselia said.

"Mother?" Glade questioned.

The grunts knew that if they were to battle Beatrice, they would just lose. So they quickly surrendered and ran away.

"Koffing return!" grunt 1 said.

"We'll come back!" grunt 2 said.

M...Ms Beatrice?

"So? Kalem? What are you doing here... again?"

"Ms. Beatrice, we're sorry-"

"Did I not tell you not to go back ?"

"But, we had to save Roselia! that's why we came back."

"Roselia? that's my daughter's Pokemon!"

"Your daughter's Pokemon?" I asked.

The girl and Glade stood up from the bushes.

"Mom, don't punish them it was my fault, I was the one who asked for help"

"It was my fault, for being irresponsible with my Pokemon, please forgive mother..."

"Alright... Your excuse is reasonable Zhery, but the next time you do such thing, you're going back home!" said Beatrice.

"Yes mother..." Zhery said sadly.

"Now the three of you, speak nothing about this when we return," Beatrice commanded.

"Yes mam" me and Glade said.

"I want to thank Kalem and Glade for saving my daughter's Pokemon, for that, I reward you with this soothe bell."

"Soothe bell?" the both of us asked.

"It's a bell that can boost your Pokemon's happiness Zhery explained.

"The three of you, go back to the orphanage and eat your dinner."

So the three of us, went back to the Orphanage... The rescue mission was a success and Zhery got her Pokemon back.

"Thanks for helping me, both of you"

"No problem" Glade said.

"And as for your Riolu, I can see a strong determination in its eyes."

"Thanks for the compliment" Riolu said.

"Riolu says thanks" I replied to Zhery's complement.

"Wait, you can understand Riolu?" Zhery asked.

"Yes! Kalem can understand Riolu through his Poketrans gem his parents gave him"

"Oh so your name is Kalem?" Zhery said.

"Yup and this is Glade and his partner Sphynx." I introduced.

"And my name is Zhery, the daughter of the headmaster."

"There you are! Where have you been?" Natallie exclaimed.

"Everyone is done eating, you three must be hungry, so go to the dining hall, your food is already there."

"Thanks Ms. Natallie" the three of us said.

By the end of the day, we ate dinner happily, we got to see a team Chaos But... what were they doing in the Emerald woods? What were they up too?

At my room, I heard that voice again, calling my name all over again!

"Kalem! Kalem!" the voice called.
