A bond as thin as string

Announcer: Now for the final round. Ember is up against... TYLER!!!

The crowd loudly erupts into cheers.

Ember: It's the boy we faught.! (shock)

Vulpix: Vulpix!

Tyler: So looks like we meet again, cutie.

Ember: Could you come up with a more unique name.

Tyler: How's puffball?

Ember: Guess it works. Now. Let's begin.

Tyler: Get ready to lose. Go Grotle.

Grotle: Gro. Grotle.

Ember: It evolved. (shocked)

She turns to Vulpix.

Ember: You ready, Vulpix?

Vulpix: Vulpix. (Born ready.)

Ember: Ok then. GO VULPIX.

Vulpix: Vul.

Tyler: Let's start this battle. Tackle.

Grotle dashes towards Vulpix and is about to hit her when-

Ember: Powdered snow.

Vulpix sneezes and s small mountain of snow covers Grotle.

Tyler: Vine wip.

Two vines come out and grab Vulpix's leg and start swinging her in the air.

Ember: Ice shard.

Vulpix shoots ice shards at the mountain of snow and the vine breaks.

Ember: Powdered snow.

As Vulpix is falling down she sneezes causing her to be blasted a bit up and the fall to be avoided.

Ember: Great job now-

Tyler: Razor leaf.

The mountain of snow gets destroyed as the leaves on Grotle's back surround the battle field.

Tyler: Now.

Suddenly all the leaves charge at Vulpix.

*Boom*

Ember: Quick attack.

Clearing the dust, Vulpix appears behind Grotle and dashes towards him, pushing him back.

Suddenly all the leaves grow back.

Tyler: Let's finish this. Bulldoze.

Grotle lifts his legs and slams them to the ground as The entire battlefield starts to shake.

Two rock clusters blast out of Vulpix's exact location and Vulpix faints.

She carries Vulpix.

Ember: Great job pal.

Announcer: Vulpix is unable to battle. Ember, do you have any other Pokémon?

Ember: Nods before throwing a pokéball.

Kakuna: Kakuna.

Tyler: Kakuna, huh? (intreasted)

Tyler: I assume it has poison point as its ability.

Ember: Poison point?

Tyler: Basically. If I attack it with a physical attack, it has a chance to poison my Pokémon.

Ember: Got it.

Tyler: Now, vine wip.

Ember: Kakuna, harden

As the attack lands, Kakuna is left there not even flinched.

Ember: Harden, again.

Kakuna makes himself hard.

Tyler: Razor leaf.

Ember: BODY SLAM!!!

Tyler: WHAT!?! (shocked)

Ember: The higher the defense difference, the more damage it deals, right?

Accelerated by gravity, Kakuna blasts down and-

*BOOM*

As the dust settels, Kakuna remains victorious.

Announcer: Grotle is unable to remain conses in the realm of the mortal. Kakuna is victorious. Hence fore Ember is the victor of this undisputable clash.

Audience: SPEAK NORMALLY. (Enraged)

He gets a shoe thrown at him.

Announcer: My apologies. Ember would you like to come to the stage?

Ember comes up the stage.

Tyler: You're not even suppose to have two Pokémon this early on.(fustrated)

Mayor: Looks like we have a winner.

The crowd cheers. Now as promised here's her Pokéball.

He gives her the pokéball.

Few moments later.

Ember: Alright. Sprigatito go.

She throws the pokéball and the Sprigatito with a flower crown comes out.

Meanwhile.

Aqua pushes a rock aside and picks up a thunder stone hiding below it.

She gasps and shows it to Eevee.

Aqua: Eevee look. We can evolve you into a Joltion now. (Excited)

Eevee: Evboy.

As she starts walking towards Eevee a flock of murcrows ambush her and steal the stone.

Aqua: WAIT THAT TOOK 5 HOURS!!!

Eevee jumps up but can't reach them.

Aqua: We gotta catch up to them.(desprate)

Eevee: Boy Evboy!

They start chasing after the Murcrows who lead them into a forest.

The afternoon shifts to evening, and they find themselves in fortree forest.

Aqua: Eevee, now's our chance. Swift.

Eevee: Evboy. Boy Evboy.

She creates a few stars and launches then at the Murcrows causing them to fly away and the thunder stone to almost be dropped in a small crack on the ground when Ember catches it.

Ember: Got it.

Vulpix: Vulpix vul.

Ember: Thanks.

She tosses the thunder stone to Aqua who catches it.

Aqua: T-Thank you.

Ember: No prob. Aqua? Am I right?

She nods a yes.

Aqua: Who are you again? Sorry, I'm not good with names.

Ember: I'm Ember.

Suddenly the Murcrows attack her again, and she drops the thunder stone.

Ember: Vulpix Icy wind.

Vulpix releases a cold amount of air into the atmosphere as the murcrows run away.

Aqua breathes a sigh of relief as she bends down to pick up the thunder stone.

As she is about to reach it, a Pikachu grabs it, evolves into a Richu and runs away.

Richu: Richu. Ri ri.

Aqua: Pikachu's aren't even suppose to be here. (annoyed)

Few moments later.

Ember walks up ti Aqua with two ice creams on hand.

Ember: I'm back.

Aqua is sitting in a bench and nods.

Ember sits next to her and gives an ice cream.

Aqua takes it and starts eating.

Ember: I assume you didn't plan to come here till later.

Aqua: Yeah.(quiet)

Ember: Don't be sad. We can get another thunder stone.

Aqua: I'm not sad.

Ember: That's great to hear.

Aqua: What were you doing here? (curious)

Ember points at Vulpix, Sprigatito and Eevee playing.

Ember: You see her?

The camera focuses on Sprigatito.

Aqua: Ya.

Ember: Well, I came here to test her moves but.

*flashback*

Ember: Sprigatito use razor leaf.

Sprigatito: Meow?

She looks at her confused.

Ember walks up to Sprigatito.

Ember: You gotta listen to me. Ok? (concered)

She gets to Sprigatito's level and puts her hand out in friendship but Sprigatito scratches her.

*Flashback ends*

Ember: Basically, that's been happinin'.

Aqua: Why does she not like you?

Ember: Cute things don't like me at first. First Vulpix and now her.

Aqua remember how she was mean to Ember and gets flustered.

Ember: So, what do you wanna do?

Aqua: Oh- Uh me? (startled)

Aqua: Well, my father wants me to be the best electric type Pokémon trainer in the world to honor my mother's legacy.

Ember: Ok got that, but what do YOU want?

She points to her heart.

Aqua: (What I want?)

Ember: It's getting late. Let'd go to the Pokémon center to crash out.

Aqua, still shook after hearing Ember's words nods in a quite fashion.

Darkri: If I may ask, why have you taken such interest in observing that girl?

???: Because... I'm not the only one doing it.

Suddenly the camera pans up, and we see Mew flying in the camera.

Mew: Mew? Mew mew mew.

It starts laughing right before turning invisible.

Narration: As the journey continues.
