Chapter 18 news and the trick master

Steven P.O.V

It was a suprise first thing today when I see my freind free falling into the basin at the bottom of the waterfall, it's not that I don't see him doing that as I come to expect some quirks here and there from Kash. It was just out of nowhere after not seeing him over year after I made that agreement with him. I offered to give it to him but his integrity wouldn't allow for him to take it so I made use of his resourcefulness. Also I couldn't be happier from the fossil he gave me it makes me so excited to see new Pokémon and this hits all my criteria, steel type, defensive and comes from a fossil. I wonder if he got the news yet and I need his help now.

Steven" So I am guessing as you were in Sinnoh for the last year you don't have the lastest news and I think you need to know, there is 2 new groups making messes around Hoenn and we don't know there purpose yet as they are recruiting now" As I see his face darkening I know he just found out.

Kash "Are they hurting Pokémon" as I shake my head

Steven "Right now they are just expanding but we are just hearing rumours with no proof, confusing the league even more as it is usually just normal stealing and trying to gain power" as I agree with my run in with those types in the last few years.

Steven "I also got news from my father that now makes sense that I see you, that the Pokémon you were looking for is near fortree city and been spotted on different occasions" As I see him smile that he gets for few things, as for me not getting what he likes so much about that Pokémon to chase it for over the years.

Kash P.O.V

As I hear the news from I first get upset and then very excited and calculate how long to get there and see I have 3 gyms on the way to there. As I smile about when I first saw that Pokemon on the elite 4 battle.

Kash" Anyway steven as we finished buisness I was wondering if you know how to leave as I was running and have no idea where I am and as my pokemon aren't the most experiance in caves as your Pokemon" as he agrees to show me out as he figured out his way around along time ago. As we leave the entrance I say goodbye as I bring my Pokemon to the Pokecenter and feed them before we go to sleep until the next day I wait for the ferry to slateport before heading to my 4th gym I believe is watson.

As we board the ship I think of my Pokemon to use in the next gym as I take out shin and show him the metal coat getting him to reach for it as I ask

Kash" Do you think you are ready cuase the next stage of your training will be to read the wind as I understand is one of the hardest parts as I worked on your battle awarness, speed and use of moves."

Shin "scy, scyther" seeing telling me he is ready gives me confidence to let him evolves as I hand it to him as I watch the process I marval at my freind and think of how I first met him with cinder and creek. As I look at cinder and see him looking at me looking excited at his freind becoming a scizor, when it finishes I smile at him and tell him to try read the wind out at sea telling him it will be one of hardest places to learn excluding some cayons wind tunnels. As I watch him fumble around at first and I try to give as many pointers as I can see the gradual improvement until I have to tell him and come down and eat and rest as its been a few hours and we are close to port.

After around a hour we reach port and I head to the Pokemart as I need to stock up on supplies for my Pokemon as I see people looking at a sign infront that I read said trick master competition for a year supply of berries and criteria is 2 Pokemon are required to sign up as I look at cinder and ask if he wants to and I can see is a yes as I notice it is today and it will start in 2 hrs so I head into the mart get what I need and head to the competition and wait for it to start.
