Eterna Forest

In the middle of the day, a big and heavy bus can be seen running at fast speed through the forest. There were 20 or so passengers boarding the bus and inside Xyno and Chisato seem to be waiting for their destination to arrive.

Xyno being bored starts checking out PokeTube for some new videos. Chisato peeks into Xyno's Phone to see what he was doing which turns out to be a video titled "How to Train Your Pokemon The Right Way".

Chisato decides to take a nap till they reach their destination.

Xyno returned all of his Pokemon back into their balls for the journey so they could rest up a bit.

Suddenly, some punks in the back seats of the bus start stirring up mischief as they start bullying a young kid travelling back to Eterna City. While he was listening to some music, they took off his headphones and played around with them. The kid was very angry but he could not do anything about it and just sat there while they bullied him.

One of the guys averts his eyes over at Chisato and he starts checking her out.

"Hey dude! Your see that hot chick next to that gloomy dude? She's fire bro!"

"Yeah bro! She is very hot!"

The punks were not very loud but were disturbing everyone on the bus with their weird talk. Some passengers wanted t confront them over it but did not act and tried to ignore them.

"You should totally talk to her bro! Go, big guy" One of the punks tries to force the other to talk to Chisato.

The other guy walks over to Chisato with his friend behind him.

"Hey hot stuff. You free tonight? We can show you some good time."

Chisato doesn't even pay attention to them and looks the other way.

"Hey, stop ignoring us. I can assure you a better time than this loser next to you."

Chisato makes an annoyed face and looks over at Xyno. Xyno suddenly speaks up.

"Do you hear something talk in the bus or are my ears just buzzing?"

Chisato chuckles at the statement and looks at the punks while holding her laughter.

The other punk gets angry.

"What did you say about us, you little piece of shit?" The guy tries to grab Xyno's collar but Xyno shoves his hand away from him.

"Keep your jokes for your mom. Or you will regret what you just said a minute ago."

Xyno threatens the punk while giving off a black, menacing aura.

"Back off, unless you want to get yourselves hurt."

The punks felt Xyno's overwhelming presence and decided to back off and sit back onto their seats.

"D-Don't think we are a-afraid of you."

Seeing the punks getting terrified, the kid who got bullied by them earlier smugged and looked at them while trying to show his smiling face to them.

There was harsh silence for the next half an hour In the bus and everyone seated was busy doing their things.

As the bus neared Eterna Forest, the passengers started hearing weird sounds coming from the forest.

The birds and the started flying out of the trees.

All of a sudden the telecom inside the bus announced something.

"We want to make the announcement that a swarm of Beedrills have gone rampant and we are currently headed in their way. We require all of you to hold onto your seats and wait for further instructions."

As soon as the announcement ended, the bus went into a panic and everyone inside the bus got worried.

Xyno looks over at the forest and notices a huge swarm of Beedrills traversing through the trees, coming directly towards the bus.

The Beedrills start attacking the bus with their drill-like hands and their giant sting. Each sting made a dent in the walls of the bus.

Some of the passengers started screaming and the weak-hearted even started crying.

"Igneel, Sett. Come out and get ready to fight." Xyno calls Igneel and Sett out to help with the situation.

Igneel and Sett take positions to fight off the Beedrills. Other passengers who also had Pokemon with them called their partners out as well to help.

The cleaning off of the Beedrills took quite some time since they were a huge swarm, during which the bus was crushed to the point where you couldn't even call it an automobile.

After the situation was handled everyone, along with their belongings outside on the ground sat down to rest up for a bit since they were very much exhausted from the incident.

Thankfully, with Celes protecting the passengers no one was hurt. Well except the two punks who were left unguarded on purpose by Celes on Xyno's orders. The punks did not get stung but they had to run away from the Beedrills to protect themselves.

After resting up, everyone picked up their equipment and stared walking over to Eterna City, which was still about 30 Kms away from them.

To avoid further harm, everyone went their as a group.

The sun was starting to set and all of them were still 20 kms or so away from the City, so they all decided to camp in the outskirts of the forest.

The passengers worked together to build a campsite. The females took care of building the campfire and since there was not enough food on hand, they procured food to eat while the sun was still up, where as the men went out with their Pokemons to hunt and find firewood for fuel.

Everyone was super helpful and speaking of the bullies, they were just sitting in the corner, all by themselves. The women took pity on them so they decided to help them out.

When the night came, everyone enjoyed eating and talking with each other around the campfire.

When it was time to sleep, since it was still a forest and there was a chance of an attack the men made groups and divided time to keep guard for the night.

Thankfully everyone had their own tents and sleeping bags so that was not an issue. The night went by smoothly without any attacks from the forest. Well mainly because of Xyno's Pokemon, no wild Pokemon dared come close to the camp.

The next day, all the passengers decided to head over to Eterna City except Chisato and Xyno. Since Xyno wanted to train his Pokemon for the upcoming battle against Gardenia, the Grass-type Gym Leader of Eterna City.

While going through the forest, Xyno encounters mainly Bug-type Pokemons, while there were some Grass-types out in the wild as well. Perfect environment to train Igneel and get him in shape for the battle.

On the way Xyno and Chisato come across the Old Chateau, rumored to be haunted by the ghost of a little girl and a butler, who supposedly used to live there.

Xyno decided to stay away from the place since it was giving strong dark aura of an incredibly powerful Ghost-type Pokemon.

While walking for about half an hour, deeper into the lush and vibrant forest, Xyno notices that there are mana fluctuations in the environment.

Suddenly he hears a sound gesturing there is a fight going on. Getting intrigued by who was fighting Xyno decided to check out the fight. Xyno rushes over deeper into the woods until he reaches a glade and notices a Roserade battling a wild Ursaring.

"Roserade! Use Grass Whistle and finish off with Energy ball!"

The Roserade's owner orders her to attack the Ursaring, which gets hit by the attack and falls to the ground immediately.

Xyno checks the status of both the Roserade and the wild Ursaring. The Roserade was Level 71 while the Ursaring was only Level 52. There was a sheer difference in power of both the Pokemon so the outcome was determined.

"Roserade! Good job, Come back!"

The Roserade's owner calls it back into her Pokeball. She notices Xyno and Chisato watching her fight the Ursaring.

"Well hello there! Didn't expect to see a bunch of stranger this deep in the forest. You two got lost? No, you two seem too well prepared and strong to have gotten lost. So, who are you guys?"

"Oh, where are my manners. You are supposed to introduce yourself first before asking questions. My name is Gardenia Fleur, and I am the Gym Leader of Eterna City's Grass-type Gym."
