Hope turned around saw Vic with his Onix, "Ah, of course! The more the merrier!" His Mime Jr. happily greeted Vic's Onix. "M-i-i-i-me!" It said. "Ha ha, my little truour has taken a liking to your Onix, Vic." Hope smiled, "I have a feeling they will get along well."

"Sure, I don't mind." Hope handed Vic a pokeball and stood back. "Put on a good show!" He said.

"I see! You know, I have never caught a Pokemon, or have trained one, in my life. Believe it or not, so this is much, much new to me." Hope signaled his Mime Jr. to come to him, "I can't wait for you to become stronger, little truour!"

Hope smiled and said, "So, I guess we should be going to Lilac Town, yes?"

The man in black and the clerk kept on arguing. So loud, that the residents started to head back to their homes, fearful that a fight might break out. "Rocket? Who are these Rockets, Vic?"
Hope asked. He noticed that his Mime Jr. was shivering a bit, could this be a sign?

"But Vic-- Oh... okay, then." Hope, Vic, and their Pokemon left the area and decided to head to Lake Argent. "Bud-budew! Budew!" They both heard a Pokemon's cry. It was a Budew, Kitty's Budew, it ran up to Hope and hopped up and down, "Oh, it's you little blom! And... Kitty." Hope knew wherever there was a Budew that liked him, Kitty was nearby. "Oh em gee, it's you, Hope! Hey, who's this?" asked Kitty. "This is Vic. He's a friend. And, Vic, this is... Kitty."

"Hee hee~! Hi, Vic! Oh man, this reminds of Issue Thirty of the manga Roserade Masquerade, where the three heroes randomly meet up and reveal their identities! Heh heh, so, what'cha up to, guys?" Kitty asked, "We're heading to Lake Argent. Maybe we'll meet the Gym Leader Shea, I hear she is quite the svalr trainer!" Kitty made yet another reference to her "manga", "Oh my god, this is SO like Issue Thirty!" Kitty went on and on about this "Roserade Masquerade".

While she explained the manga's story to Hope, Vic noticed a shadow in one of the nearby trees. Hope turned to Vic, "Uh, Vic, are you all right?"

"Oh, I rushed a little too much."

"Alright Hope, let's begin!" Claude said excitedly, "Use Wrap on Mime Jr.!" Claude's Ekans quickly slithered and wrapped itself around Mime Jr. and began to squeeze it, "Oh no, I should retaliate." Hope said, "Mime Jr., use Confusion!" Suddenly, Mime Jr.'s eyes glowed a bright blue and it let loose a strong blast of psychic power and unwrapped Ekans from its body, "Svalr, Mime Jr.! Keep it up!" Claude's Ekans hissed and lunged back at Mime Jr., "Ekans, use Bite!" Ekans tried to bite Mime Jr., but it missed. "Mime Jr., use Barrier. Quickly!" Hope's Mime Jr., created a gray force field around itself, so to protect it from Ekans' Bite attack.

"Budew! Use Absorb on Vic's Onix!" ordered Kitty.

[Oh, I see.]

"Uh oh, this is not svalr!" Hope's partner was taken down by Budew, leaving only him and his Mime Jr. left. "Mime Jr., stop the Barrier and use Confusion on Budew!" Mime Jr. discontinued the gray barrier that shrouded it and unleashed its psychic power on Budew, hitting it hard.

"Budew, no!" Kitty's Budew had fainted, "Aw, man. I thought I'd win my first battle, like the main character, Ashley, in Roserade Masquerade. I guess that was just wishful thinking." Kitty picked up her Budew and took out her pokeball. "Zoop!" It shot out a red beam at Budew and sucked it in. "You did an awesome job, Budew." said Kitty.

"Well, well, well. Look's like me and you are the only one's left. You'd better put up a good fight! Don't disappoint me!" Claude's heart rate began to rise. He hadn't had an exciting battle in a long time. "Ekans, use Wrap, then follow up with a Bite!" Claude's Ekans was getting ready to lung at Mime Jr., "Mime Jr., use Tickle and distract it!" Mime Jr., quickly ran up to Ekans and tickled it, causing it to do a weird hiss-laugh.

"Svalr! Now use Confusion!" Mime Jr.'s eyes glowed as it lifted up Ekans using its psychic power, "Taktu han niour, little truour!" said Hope.

Mime Jr. threw Ekans to the ground, hurting it pretty badly, but it wouldn't give up. "C'mon, Ekans, you can do better! Use Poison Sting!" Claude's Ekans shot a barrage of purple needles at Mime Jr.. They were a successful hit. "Alright! Now finish Mime Jr. off with Bite!" Ekans lunged at Mime Jr. with its mouth wide open, ready to chomp. "I do not think Mime Jr. can take much more. Quick, little truour, use Barrier!" Mime Jr. enveloped itself in a gray, reflective barrier so to deflect Ekans' Bite attack.

"Grr, for a newbie trainer he sure is tough!" Claude though to himself, "Time to bring out the big guns!" Ekans somehow knew what Claude was going to do, so it readied itself for its ace-in-the-hole attack. "Ekans use Poison Tail!" Ekans launched itself at Mime Jr. and hit its barrier with its glowing, purple, poison-infused tail. Mime Jr. barely survived the attack.

"Don't give up, little truour! You can do it!" Hope's Mime Jr. got up, shaking and weak from the Poison Tail attack. "Use Copycat, Mime Jr.!" Hope ordered.

"W-What the... how will it manage that?" Claude said, dumbfounded. Mime Jr.'s tiny leg glowed, "Oh, I guess that's how it'll do it." Claude thought to himself, "You won't take my Ekans out with a ineffective move, Hope!"

Hope smirked, "You just wait and see! Now, little truour, strike it!" Mime Jr. kicked Ekans right in the jaw, dishing out severe damage even though it wasn't very effective.

"Ekansss..." Ekans fell to the floor. It was defeated. "You did it, Hope!" Kitty cried out, "That was so awesome!" She ran up and hugged Hope. He blushed a bit, but tried to hide it. "Wow, Hope, for a new trainer you sure did great. I'm sure Professor Crowe would be happy." Complimented Vic.

Claude stood in the distance, silently. He returned his Ekans to his Pokeball and walked up to Hope. "That..." Claude paused for a moment, then continued, "That was amazing. I haven't had a more intense battle like that in a very long time. Thanks for that, Hope."

Hope's first battle was a success... and he was happy about that. "Heh heh." He laughed, "Thank you all for the battle. I liked it as much as all of you." He said, smiling.

The sun began to set as the group got closer and closer to Lake Argent. Claude had departed, but they knew someday they'd see him again.
