Chad walked over to the PC and traded Typhlosion's pokeball for Kecleon's. He had remembered last time he was here that a lot of wild Kecleon could be found all over the place and most people here had one. Chad released Ditto and Kecleon and, of course, Ditto transformed into a shiny blue striped Kecleon. Both of the Pok?mon began to blend in with their surroundings before walking on either side of Chad. Kecleon seemed right at home and Chad smiled as he held Jessica's hand and began to explore the city with his friends.

"Heh, Typhlosion not working for ya, Chad?" Jessica asked, playfully. She nudged her head into his shoulder to show she wasn't being serious. As they continued on through the city, nothing was exactly attention-capturing. Just a few business buildings, kiosks with vendors yelling to try and push their sales, but nothing exactly very exciting. Finally one kiosk seemed somewhat interesting, one run by a hippie, and displayed were Lunar Wings fashioned into necklaces. "Hmm, I think I'll get one." Jessica said, walking closer to the kiosk. "Anyone else want one? I'll buy." Jessica said, turning three fourths of the way to her friends. She pulled out some money from hammerspace after rummaging through it a bit.

"I'm good, thanks." Chad said holding up his hands and shaking his head. Cairo and Alison also refused and after Jessica payed for her necklace and put it on the three of them left. "uh!" Chad heard a voice shout out. A pokeball flew through the air and hit Chad's Kecleon before falling to the ground. "Hey what happened, grandpa? How come I didn't catch it?" The voice, which belonged to a young boy, said to an older gentleman. The man laughed and apologized to Chad before explaining to his grandson that you can't catch a Pok?mon that belongs to someone else. Chad scooped up the mostly invisible Kecleon and Ditto-Kecleon to make sure something like that didn't happen again. Both Pok?mon jumped into Chad's backpack and just stuck their invisible heads out.

After an hour or two of sight-seeing stomachs were heard growling as the group looked at each other and laughed. "So, shall we find a place to eat?" Alison asked as she held her stomach. "Yeah." Cairo said as they all looked around for a place to eat. Soon a place was found and the group entered a small restaraunt. "This place looks good." Alison said as they all sat down and looked at menus. A waitress made her way over and asked "Can I take your order?" "I'll have a tea and an order of fries." Alison said as she ordered. Soon the rest ordered and they talked as they waited for their order.

They had ordered a pizza, spare Alison who had her respective meal. They awaited in anxiously as the smell of various cheeses and toppings filled the air around them. "So wait, Alison?" Cairo began. He had wondered this from day one, though he was slightly concerned she had told him before, it wasn't a huge deal, but he would feel somewhat arrogant, "Are you FROM Fortree?" he inquired, somewhat aloof, nervously awaiting an answer, though he still wasn't entirely sure why.
Alison began to answer before a large silver plater, topped with an italian dish was placed in the center of the table beside Alison's tea and fries. "Thanks" Cairo said, head lifted from his Sprite.

Alison responded, "Oh, I'm from near Petalburg.... Wait, haven't I told you?" She laughed, and began on her food. Jessica, Chad, and Cairo all took a slice or two of pizza, and began eating as well. After swallowing a bite, and taking a sip of root beer, Jessica began, "So, maybe we could check out that gym again? It seemed rather interesting." She took another sip, and continued. "Oh, of course after we're done eating."

Chad had two slices of pizza before he finally felt satisfied and he finished up the rest of his sprite. "Anyone want that last piece?" Chad asked as he saw everyone was finished and only one slice of pizza remained. Cairo and Jessica shook their heads and Chad was about to throw it away before an invisible Pok?mon hand reached out and ate it. Chad wasn't sure if it was Kecleon or Ditto but either way the Pok?mon ran back into Chad's bag and he heard two sounds of eating. "Should we get going?" He asked.

"Mm-hmm." Jessica replied, with a nod. The four trainers got up, and Jessica pulled out some money. "And this time... I'm paying!" Jessica said, handing her newly retrieved money to the waitress, who had just come over, as she had noted the trainers' readiness to leave. Jessica pulled out some more for the tip, and after a "Thank you, hope you enjoyed your meal!", the group was outside again. The large building that was the gym still loomed over where the group was, and Jessica looked to it. "Hmmm..." She mumbled, deep in thought. "Y'know, I'd like to challenge Winona. I dunno why, it's just some sudden urge."

"I think that'd be cool to watch." Chad said, turning to Jessica. "I've battled you and Winona and I'd say you have a good chance of winning." Jessica smiled and thanked Chad. "So is it alright with everyone, like, do you guys wanna watch?" Jessica asked turning to Cairo and Alison. "Yeah, I'd stay and watch." Cairo said. "Me too." Alison agreed. "Ok...I think i'm gonna do it." Jessica said, getting excited. The four of them walked into the gym and Chad, Cairo and Alison all found seats after wishing Jessica good luck.

Jessica walked up behind Winona, and even though she did so casually, she scared Winona a bit. Winona turned around, right arm behind head, eyes closed and mouth looking ready to laugh. "Oh, heh-heh, you scared me a little." She said, ending with a slight giggle. "So, come back for a challenge or something?" She concluded, putting her arms by her side, but still with a face of embarrassing joy. "Uh, actually, yes." Jessica responded, rather quietly. "OK, that's great. Just a bit of time, then we can start!" Winona replied, beginning to walk to a barred, slightly elevated platform. She got on it, and pointed to the one opposite hers. "That one's yours!" She called to Jessica, who in response walked onto it. "You aren't scared of heights, are you?" Winona asked across the battlefield. "Er, no, why?" Jessica responded. "You'll see!" Winona called back, as a referee came over to Jessica. "OK, this'll be a 3-on-3 battle. You may make substitutions, while our leader may not. Name and hometown, please." He explained. "OK, Jessica Marie Wyler, of Olivine City." Jessica responded, and the referee wrote this down on a clipboard he had been holding. He took his spot on a third barred platform, pressed a button, and all three platforms began to rise. He rose both hands, one pointing to Jessica, the other to Winona, when they reached full height (which was approximately seventy-five feet). "The battle shall now begin!" He called, lowering both hands quickly. Both Jessica and Winona tossed Pok?Balls into the air, one revealing Bianca, the other Pelipper. Meanwhile, Alison, Chad, and Cairo had all relocated to higher seats, due to the unexpected change of battle-style.

Chad had hurried to get a few slushies from a machine he had noticed and came back just in time. He gave one to Cairo and one to Alison and they thanked him before getting into a comfortable position to watch the match. Kecleon and Ditto took a place on either side of Chad to watch the battle and Chad sipped his drink happily as he waited. Two Pok?Balls flew through the air and burst open to reveal Bianca and Pelipper who took their stances and awaited commands from their trainers.

Carter walked into the gym and found a seat to watch the battle. He sat down on the edge of his seat and nearly fell over. Quickly, he caught his balance and laughed a little. Carter saw the gym leader, a trainer and their Pok?mon starting a battle.

"Alright, you can have first move!" Winona called across the battlefield. Jessica nodded in thanks and understanding. "OK then, Bianca, use Aerial Ace!" Jessica commanded, with the result of Bianca zipping through the air, and sharply impacting Pelipper. It winced, but didn't seem to get hurt too badly. "Pelipper! Respond with Water Pulse!" Winona sent back, and from Pelipper's large mouth spewed circular waves of water, straight for Bianca. "Dodge!" Jessica called out, and Bianca swerved over a bit, narrowly escaping the water attack. "Fight back with Psybeam!" Jessica called, and a purple-y/yellow-y/pink-y circular beam shot from Bianca, but it only hit Pelipper's wing. However, that hit did make it seem that Pelipper was having a harder time flying. "Perfect!" Jessica exclaimed, then finished with, "Bianca, finish things with Silver Wind!" Bianca flew directly above Pelipper, and began flapping her wings harshly, sending a silvery, powerful wind straight at Pelipper. It made harsh contact, and sent Pelipper whirling to the ground. It landed with spiral eyes, and after a decisive call from the referee, Winona called back her fainted Pok?mon. "Heh, not bad! But can you cope..." She paused to toss a PokeBall. "...With this?" A large, metallic bird was now flying in the air, facing Bianca and Jessica. "A--a Skarmory?" Jessica commented to herself, rather quietly.

"Remember Skarmory?" Cairo asked Chad after the strong looking Pok?mon was called out by Winona. "Yep. That thing was tough, I definetely remember it." Chad sipped his drink some more and didn't notice that Ditto and Kecleon had just been escorted out of the gym by a wild female Kecleon and were now playing outside. Cairo did notice, however, and asked, "Where did your Pok?mon go?" Chad looked to Cairo and said, "They're invisible, remember? I'm sure they're around here somewhere." Cairo looked around and shrugged his shoulders. "If you say so." He said turning back to the match.

Cairo shrugged off the fact that he thought Chad's Pok?mon were gone because, understandably, Chad thought otherwise. He looked on as the metallic bird formed before his eyes, white light exploding and revealing the intimidating Pok?mon. Cairo lowered his head and began sipping his drink, he noticed that they apparently were not the only trainers in the stands, there was someone else. "Avid...gym battle watcher..?" he reasoned in question before looking back to the arena, and Jessica and Winona's stern, battle ready demeanors.
