Sinnoh Episode 2

Salem, leader of Team Galactic, scariest woman in the organization, strongest trainer there is, and one who have low patience of failures...was losing her patience at the moment in a video call with Watts within the safety of her hideout as Watts is in the Eterna City Hideout. Even tho his voice was calm and his facial features was void of all nervousness...that did not mean that Watts was not scared of being the one who had to tell their boss of the recent mishap at the Valley Windworks.

So...let me get this clear.." She speaks with a tone of a mother who have listened to whatever mishap their kid have gotten to, building a simmering rage within her body. "The simple mission of harnessing energy from the Valley Windworks was stopped by one lone teenager male." Watts nods slowly. "That's corre-" "And it was just one male and his Monferno. Not even an armed battalion of Sinnoh police, or a E4, or even the Champion herself?" With each word spoken, Salem's anger rise ever so slowly, her hands on the armrest of the chair squeezing tightly. "And you're telling me that a grown man in his early 40's and a teenager girl of 19 years couldn't handle..with about 10 other grunts?!?" She lean forward and Watts sworn to himself that her normally healthy skin complexion went pure white devoid of life before going back to normal "A single male?!?"

"If I may speak.." Watts hold a finger up which Salem, glaring at him, slowly nods. "While Cinder's Purugly was getting introduced to every furniture in the windwork thanks to that Monferno...Not only was I able to get some energy on the side." At this, Salem's temper went down considerably as she leans back with an assessing expression. "But I was able to sneak a pic of the culprit as well."

Salem dissect what she have heard. If what Watts said is true, then it could be helpful to see who this teen is. Not to mention any energy is better than none. "Fine, send me both the energy and pic of the male. As for you and Cinder. You are to report to Veilstone City for the next debriefing...." "Understood."

"Good. Dismissed."
And the call ends as Salem lend back in her chair and sighs..
"....I do all of this to return my loved one's life back...and if that don't work.." She speaks to herself as she look at the pic of Joudai in the middle of telling Monferno an attack. "I'll destroy this world.."

Back with Joudai, he was currently strolling through the Eterna Forest while it was dark. After beating some trainers(Occasionally 2 at a time.), he decided to sit down on a stump and collect himself. "A lot of walking...I better set up camp for the night." He set his backpack down and pull out some camping stuff including a tent, some pillows, and covers for him to sleep under. Seeing that he got his small camp set up, Joudai eventually decided to change into his PJs, a simple black set with pokeballs on them and form a plan to eat some food. Getting Monferno out to make a campfire, he get some pots out of his backpack and get some canned goods out to put inside of it and using some water from bottles of water, make some stew to eat with him, Monferno, and the other 2 Pokemons, Staravia and Pikachu.

It's only been about a week since Joudai have started his journey...His first mon was Monferno as a Chimchar. A gift from Professor Sitri Eisner, a long time friend of his mom. Sitri gave him both Chimchar and the Pokedex to aid him and her research, which Joudai have helped with catching over 50 pokemons at the moment. His 2nd mon is Staravia as a Starly whom he caught the route after Sandgem Town. And lastly was a Pikachu who he caught the route before the cave that lead to Orebough City. He's pretty confident about his team, but knows that he need 3 more pieces to his team.

"(I'm gonna need me a Water pokemon for sure...)" He ponders while drinking his water from a bottle as he watches Staravia pluck some berries from the trees as Monferno and Pikachu catches them in a bag for them to eat during or before battles. "(Maybe a Magikarp to evolve into Gyarados?...Nah, That would take some time dedicated to it....Hmmm..Carvanha?)"

His Pokemon eventually get enough berries for them to last for a good while as they all retire for the night...Joudai in the tent and the Pokemons in the Pokeballs.
