"One more day!" Kevin shouted happily to the sky, Squirtle was by his side, screaming as well. "Just one more day. By tommorrow morning we'll finally be in Violet City. No more long hikes, or sleeping on the ground, and we finally get to eat something other than fruit. I can't wait for a cheeseburger."
"You know," Cara said folding up her sleeping bag, "we would've been there by now if you hadn't played the modesty act and just let Mr. Fox give us ride there."
"But you see Cara, unliked you I have a heart." Kevin scowled.
"And unlike you, I have a brain. They come in handy every once in awhile." She stood up with a smirk on her face. "So guys, I think we should get a little bit of training done before we get on the road again. This might be our last chance before we get to the big city. I'm not sure how much room there'll be there."
"Okay, Squirtle, let's focus on perfecting your bubble beam." Kevin nodded to Squirtle.
"Squirtle Squirt!" Squirtle made imaginary muscles with it's arms.
"And Chikorita and I could probably make that move look even better." Cara said releasing Chikorita.
"But what can I do?" Joey asked, finishing putting his pajamas in his bag.
"I don't know.' She shrugged, "I'm sure you'll find something."
"I know, I'll go wander the forest to see if the Houndour want to play!" He started to march off when Cara grabbed him.
"Oh no you don't!" She said, "Sit down over there. You can watch us train."
"Fine." Joey sighed. This was the forth day in a row he had to sit around and watch his older sister along Kevin train with their pokemon. Kevin would tell Squirtle to make a bubble beam, and each time it would get a little fast. Next, he would tell Hoothoot to fly through them and it would pop every singly one. Then, Cara would tell Chikorita to make razor leaf for about the nine-hundredth time. Joey had just about enough of all that.
In the beginning Joey was real excited about going on a journey. And he was right to be. He got to go on all types of adventures, and see so many different pokemon. But, he was sad. He got to see Cara and Kevin mingle with their pokemon every day, but never once did he get to do that. He didn't want to watch it again. He stood up, careful to make sure they didn't see him, and made his way down the path.
"Man," He sighed, "watching those guys train sure isn't my idea of fun. I bet there's lots of fun things to do out here though." Joey's path was cut off by a dark figure who seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"Hello young child!" They said. The voice sounded like a woman. She was covered in a dark cloak, with a dark glasses. She cloak was blowing in the breeze. "I seek the one who sucks the honey from it's paws. Have you seen it?"
"Um...no." Joey said looking at his hands, "I definately don't have any honey on my hands. My mom makes me wash it off.
"No son," The woman bent down to him, "The one I search for is no human, it is a creature. The one who sucks honeyfrom it's paws will bring peace to our world. When it becomes the ruler, it shall give wealth to anyone who has faith in it, and bless them through their entire lives. I seek to serve it."
"Wow, thats soooo cool!" Joey said excitedly.
"Good, take this." The woman handed him a sheet of paper. It had a drawing of a dark small figure with it's hand in it's mouth. "Wait, so how can I find it? Huh?"
Joey looked up to see the woman was gone

Joey made his way back to camp, where Kevin and Joey were relaxing with their pokemon. He hoped they wouldn't notice that he left but of course, that would've been too easy. "Where have you been Joey?" Cara wagged her finger. "Didn't I tell you to stay here and watch us train."
"Your training's boring." He whined back, "I wanted to go for a little walk."
"After everything that's happened, don't you think it's a bit dangerous to just go for a stroll with out any supervision?" She continued to lecture him. She noticed the piece of paper in his hand. "What's that?"
"Oh yeah," Joey suddenly remembered the woman. "You'll never guess what happened. I ran into one of the servants to the one who sucks honey from it's paw."
"The one who sucks what from it's where?" Cara asked in confusion.
"What're you talking about Joe." Kevin laughed a little bit, taking the paper. He saw the picture of the figure with it's hand in it's mouth. "Wow, well it's sucking something from it's hand. "
"It's sucking honey!" Joey tried to explain. "See, the one who sucks honey from it's paw will bring peace to the whole world, and give i wealth to anyone who believes in its faith..or...something like that. Either way, I believe in it, and I want to find it as soon as possible."
"Joey, come on kid, there's no way that's true." Cara rolled her eyes taking the paper from Kevin. "Look at this. You can't even tell what the thing is from this picture. This whole 'legend' is probably fake."
"Nooo, it's real. I really think it's really real." Joey tried to convince her, but she wasn't having it.
"Okay fine. Believe what you want to, but we're getting on the road now!" She shoved the situation out of her mind and lead the gang down the road.
"Guys, you have to believe me!" Joey whined, "It's real! It's real, it's real, it's real, it's real, it's real!"
"In a couple of second your not going to be real if you don't shut your yap!" Cara said, starting to get annoyed.
"Hey, we're not completely shutting your idea out," Kevin tried to sympathize. "It's just a bit weird. If no one's ever seen this thing, how are we supposed to believe in it?"
"If you believe, that's all that matters." Joey smiled.
"I swear i've landed into a christmas santa tale." Cara muttered to Chikorita. Chikorita giggled a little bit. Suddenly as they were walking, their path was cut off by something. Something that was casting a great big shadow. Something with it's hand in it's mouth.
"It can't be..." Joey looked in disbelief.
"But, is it?" Kevin had the same look on his face.
"You can't be serious." Cara rolled her eyes again. The "something" moved closer, moving out of the sun, and revealing what it was. It was a pokemon. And it did have it's paw in it's mouth. It looked like a small teddy bear.
"THE ONE WHO SUCKS HONEY FROM IT'S PAW!" Joey quickly ran up to it and got on his knees. "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!"
"But...that's a pokemon." Kevin opened his guide book and searched for that pokemon. "It's called Teddiursa. It's a first evolution normal type pokemon, with a tan moon on it's forehead, and is known for...sucking honey from..it's paw."
"What?" Cara turned to Kevin is disbelief and snatched the book away from him. "Let me see that. This is just a coincidence."
"Forgive my liege, she knows not what she speaks." Joey said bowing down to the Teddiursa.
"Ursa?" Teddiursa turned it's head sideways in confusion.
"Alright that's enough." Cara walked over and picked up her little brother. "Time to go before anymore of this stuff gets into your head."
"No, no!" He squirmed, trying to get away from her tight grip, "I have to serve my lord if I want to be blessed by it's awesome power!"
"And how do you think it's going to do that?" She started to carry him away, "By using it's honey sucking skills to purify your past, present and future. That pokemon looks like my teddy bear, Mr. Chubby cubs. There's no way it's any different than an average pokemon."
"Yes it is!" Joey demanded, finally breaking out of her grip. "Guys, please! Can't we just hang around it for awhile, just to see if it can do anything?"
"Cara, what's the harm?" Kevin turned to her.
"Do you guys have something against getting to Violet City?" Cara was starting to get angry. "I mean seriously, this is about the 10th time this week you've let us get side tracked." Kevin and Joey both gave her pleading puppy dog eyes. "Fine!"
"Yay!" Joey cheered. So the three sat around Teddiursa, waiting for some magical power to come out. But nothing did. They sat for hours and hours. Every once in awhile it would take it's paw out of it's mouth to scratch it's nose, but other than that, it pretty much did nothing. By now, Kevin and Cara had both fallen asleep, and Joey was getting drowsy. Teddiursa got up and began walking away. Joey quickly woke himself up and went after it.
"Hey," He whispered. "Don't go! I want to see if you're really super and mystical like that lady said."
"Teddiurse!" Teddiursa signaled Joey to follow it. It happily skipped away.
"No wait," Joey didn't know what to do. he knew he wasn't suppose to leave without telling anyone, and that would've been the second time today. But as long as they were asleep..."Wait up!"
Joey quickly followed Teddiursa down the path, leaving Cara and Kevin in their slumber.

Joey followed Teddiursa very far down the path. He was worried about what would happen when Cara and Kevin discovered he was gone, but he was too determined to see the powers of this amazing being. Teddiursa suddenly stopped in it's tracks. It twitched it's nose twice, and ran off the path into the bushes. Joey suddenly got really excited. "Oh boy!" He shouted, following it quickly. "Is it time Teddiursa? Are you finally begin to summon the power you need to purify me, and all the people around me? Oh Teddiursa, is it time?"
"Ursa!" Teddiursa stopped once again jumping for joy. Joey's face turned into a frown when he saw what all the hype was about. They had come to another bushel of berries. Teddiursa quickly took a handful off of their limbs, offering some to Joey.
"No thanks." Joey refused with a sigh, "I've had enough of those lately to last a life time."
"Teddiurs," It shrugged, gulping an entire berry in one bite. It ate all of them happily, not once again offering to share. Joey couldn't help but laugh at the site of Teddiursa's messy eating.
"Haha," He giggled, pulling off a big leaf to help clean up, "You're getting berry juice all over your face. Here, let me wipe it off for you."
"Ted?" Teddiursa looked confused as Joey wiped off all the sticky liquid from it's cheeks. A smile cracked. It was beginning to like Joey's company. After putting it's paw back in it's mouth, it tapped Joey on the shoulder and ran the opposite way.
"You want to play tag?" Joey asked. Teddiursa gave a happy nod. "Well okay, then you better watch out because I'm going to get you."
Back at camp, Cara was slowly beginning to open her eyes. She sat up with a strect just before letting out a long yawn. She looked around to notice that something was missing. Teddiursa was gone, but even worse, Joey was gone too. "Joe?" She called out. "Joey, where are you? Kevin wake up now!"
"(Yawn) W-wha?" Kevin was half awake.
"Joey's gone, and I think Teddiursa's with him." She said really stressed. "Man, I knew this was a bad idea. I should've just said no."
"They couldn't of gotten that far." Kevin tried to reason, "besides, they probably just went for a short walk or something. What could happen?"
"The boy thinks that bear is going to rule the world!" Cara grabbed him by the collar. "If he thinks he has to do something to "serve" his "master" then ALOT could happen my friend."
"Alright, chill out." Kevin shoved her off of him. "We'll just go look for him now, and if worse comes to worse, Hoothoot, can search from the sky, okay?"
"Fine." Cara nodded. They set off down the path in search for Joey.
Meanwhile, Joey and Teddiursa had just finished there long game if tag, and were now laying down on the soft grass under the trees. "Wow Teddiursa," Joey smiled, "you're really fast!"
"Ursa!" Teddiursa giggled.
"I bet you're the fastest pokemon in the world." Joey joked. He sighed, "Hey, you know what? You should come to Violet city with us!"
"Ted?" Teddiursa looked confused.
"Yeah, it'd be alot of fun. And then you'd get to meet Chikorita, and Hoothoot. And you'd get to know Squirtle, Kevin, and Cara even better. You could be a part of our group. But...oh yeah..."
"Teddiursa?" Teddiursa stood up, wondering what was wrong.
"Oh (sniff)" Joey was beginning to cry a little bit. "I guess I forgot. I can't have a pokemon. I'm too little. Besides, by the time we get to Violet City, it'll be time for me to go home already."
"Ted.." Teddiursa began to get sad as well.
"But I sure am glad I got to meet you." Joey smiled, trying to lighten up the mood. Teddiursa smiled back.
"At last!" A voice exclaimed. Joey looked up to see the cloaked woman standing over him. She took his hand. "Dear child, bless you. You have helped me a great deal. You've found the one who sucks honey from it's paw."
"Er...yeah." Joey said, caught off guard. "Listen, about that myth, I think you might have made a mistake..--"
"Oh my lord!" The woman interupted, bowing down to Teddiursa, "It is a great honor to be in your presents. Please forgive me for taking so long. I have been through much to find you, but it is worth it, to be here under your grace."
"Ursa..." Teddiursa backed up in fear.
"Um...excuse me." Joey ran in front of Teddiursa. "Yeah, I think you need to go find another lord to worship, because this Teddiursa is just a normal Teddiursa."
"Child!" Her voice turned stern. "How dare you call the great one by that name. It is not your place. Now step aside so I may take it with me to the other worshippers."
"Hey! You're not taking Teddiursa anywhere! He's staying here with me."
"It's coming whether you step aside or not." The woman said, simply tossing Joey over onto the ground. She picked Teddiursa up. Teddiursa began to squirm and cry in fear.
"Ursa! Teddiurse! Ursa! Ursa!" It tried to break free.
"No! Let it go right now!" Joey demanded desperately.
"I am sorry child." She turned to him once more, "I never imagined that I would have to use force to claim victory on this day. But you will see..no, the whole world will see, that this is clearly for the greater good of all!"
"NO! Come back here! Please!" Joey cried out trying to chase her as the woman ran and then disappeared into the forest. Joey sat down and began to cry.

"Still no sign?" Kevin said, spotting Cara. They had split up to look for Joey and they were now meeting back up. Cara shook her head disappointedly.
"Not a sign nor trace of him anywhere." She sighed, "That Teddiursa's no where in sight either. Why does he feel the need to pull these disappearing acts so often?"
"Shhhh." Kevin shushed Cara.
"Don't shhhhh me!" Cara exclaimed, "I have every right to be as loud as i want right now, so don't you go shushing m--"
"Cara, shut up for one second." Kevin covered her mouth. "Don;t you hear that, it sounds like crying."
"(sniff)-over here." A voice said. Kevin and Cara turned to a tree. Someone was behind it. They walked around to see Joey crying in his knees.
"Finally!" Cara shouted, embracing her brother in a hug. "How many times do you plan on running away this week Joe? Should we stick around the forest another night so you can take another spin around alone?"
"I'm sorry." Joey sobbed, "I mess everything up. I'm sorry."
"Hey, hold on a second." Kevin bent down, Squirtle beside him. "What are you taling about? Talk to us. Where have you been?"
"Okay..." Joey sniffed, wiping the tears away. "I wanted to see if Teddiursa had any powers, so I left you guys while you were sleeping. At first, everything was fine. We played tag, and we talked, and it ate alot of berries. But then, the lady in the big black blanket came. And she took Teddiursa away."
"A woman in a blanket?" Kevin itched his head in confusion.
"Yeah, and I couldn't stop her!" Joey put his head back down. Squirtle patted him on the back. "She got away and now it's all my fault. Teddiursa could be in trouble now!"
"How long ago was this?" Cara asked.
"Right before you guys got here." He answered.
"This woman couldn't of gotten that far then." Cara said, "Joey, we might have a chance to save Teddiursa, but we're gonna have to hurry."
"No time to waste!" Joey's mood quickly changed, catching Kevin and Cara off guard. "We have to go now!"
to be continued...(modified i mean)

Hoothoot was searching from the sky, doing it's very best to find the woman in black Joey was talking about. At the same time, Cara and Joey were searching, while Kevin and Squirtle were looking elsewhere. It was as if the woman had disappeared into thin air. The gang all met up. "Didja find her?" Joey asked anxiously.
"Sorry Joey." Kevin sighed. "She's absolutely nowhere."
"Then we have to keep looking. Maybe she went more back where we were a couple days ago. Near that place. What's it called? Cherry tree city?"
"Joe, we can't backtrack a whole week of travel for this." Cara held her brother still. Joey broke free of her grip.
"Than I'll just look for Teddiursa myself! You don't understand. You both have pokemon of your own but I don't. Teddiursa made me feel like I did. Tomorrow, I'm going home. I just want one more thing to complete my memory of this completely and totally awesome week! And Teddiursa is it! I have to see my friend one more time."
"I Understand ya Joey." Kevin bent down to him. "I'm making you a Kevin McNally promise. We won't go to Violet City until we find Teddiursa."
"Wha--" Cara's eyes widened at the sound of it.
"You promise?" Joey said, his eyes beginning to water up.
"Well, I do atleast." Kevin gave Cara an inciminating look. Cara rolled her eyes and sighed.
"I guess we can't leave the little stuffed animal alone out here with some psycho. It wouldn't be right."
"You guys are the bes---huh?" Just then, Joey could have sworn he heard something. Like a yelp? A cry? Teddiursa! He quickly stood up. "Guys! Teddiursa's crying for help."
"I hear it too. Hoothoot, fly up and tell us which direction." Kevin ordered. Hoothoot nodded and flew up. It could see the the woman still holding Teddiursa running down the path. Hoothoot began to fly off in the direction, and the group followed. When they arrived, they found the woman holding Teddiursa up into the sun.
"Oh great wise Honeysucker." She called out. "Release your powers to our world. Bring forth the other members so they may share in your glory."
"Hey Lady!" Joey shouted interupting the ceremony. "Teddiursa's coming with me right now."
"You again?" She turned around in anger. "I don't want to harm a helpless younge boy, but I will do what I must for this prodigy."
"I suggest taking some pills first." Cara butted in. "Have you taken a good look at your 'prodigy' lately? Cause if you haven't noticed, IT'S JUST A TEDDIURSA!"
"I don't know who you are, but I wouldn't expect you to understand the complexities of the prophecy."
"This is your last warning." Kevin stepped up. "Let go of the Teddiursa now, or you'll have us to deal with."
"Squirtle Squirt!" Squirtle nodded.
"Oh noo, it is you that will have to deal with me." The woman smirked pulling out a poke-ball. "Go Sneasel!"
"Squirtle, bubble beam now!" Kevin called out. Squirtle jumped into the air and spat out powerful bubbles, coming straight for Sneasel.
"No need! Icy Wind Sneasel!" The woman ordered. Snealsel opened it's mouth, and blew, causing a freezing wind to blow through the area. The bubbles turned to ice, falling to the ground and shattering. Kevin, Cara, Joey, Squirtle, and Hoothoot were all frozen solid. Teddiursa's eyes filled up with tears at the site of Joey frozen in ice. "hahaha! Don't you see my lord? These children are just one of the many here to deceive you. Come with me. There's an entire village of people waiting to serve you, and lead you to your ultimate destiny."
"Urmf urmf" Joey broke his head out of the ice. "Don't listen to her! Teddiursa. You're my friend. Believe me, you don't have to go with her if you don't want to. I've seen you. You're your own pokemon. You decide your own destiny."
"Ursa?" Teddiursa was deep in thought.
"I can tell you what to do, and so can this lady, but in the end you're the one whose going to have to choose. Do what feels right Teddiursa. You have to!"
"Ursa." Teddiursa nodded. It began to walk towards the woman. Joey became afraid, fearing Teddiursa really wanted to go with the woman. Suddenly, Teddiursa went into a rage and began rapidly attacking the woman and Sneasel.
"Ouch! Ow!" She screeched. "Stop it my liege, that hurts!" Joey laughed at the site. The woman finally backed down. "Argh! You obviously are not the true prophet! Sneasel, let us leave and search for the true one!" The woman and her Sneasel ran away in embarassment.
"Hooray!" Joey cheered. "See ya, wouldn't ever wanna be ya!"
"Ursa!" Teddiursa ran up and hugged Joey's face, which was at the moment the only unfrozen part of his body. Eventually, the ice melted away and everyone was free again. Just unbelievably chilly. The sun was setting and they were about to head into their final steps into violet City. Joey was saying his goodbyes.
"Well Teddiursa, it was nice meeting you." Joey said.
"Ursa?" Teddiursa turned it's head in confusion. It ran and clutched to Joey.
"Let go!" Joey broke out of the grip. His eyes began to fill up with tears. "Teddiursa....I have to go. A-and you can't come with me."
"Teddiursa!" Teddiursa jumped in disbelief.
"I know I said we're friends." He continued, "and that's true. We're best friends. But it doesnt change anything. I'm not old enough, and you can't come with me. S-so you have to get out of here. Now!" Joey was now in sobs.
"The poor kid." Kevin sighed looking at the scene from further away. "
"I feel so terrible about all this." Cara said watching as well. "Did you hear him earlier? I mean, he really loves this pokemon. I wish there was something I could do."
"Well there is something you could do." Kevin turned to her. Cara looked up at him in confusion. "You have a poke-ball right?"
"Oh." Cara caught onto what he was saying. She walked over to her brother who was still crying. She bent down next to him. "Haha, he really does look like Mr. Chubby Cubs, doesn't he?"
"Yeah, (sniff)" Joey talked over the lump in his throat. "He's soft like him too."
"Well you know Joey. I forgot Mr. Chubby Cubs at home. And well...to be honest I'm going to need a teddy bear to keep me safe in the dark nights out here."
"So?" Joey said still pouting.
"So I'm saying, I think it'd be best if Teddiursa came along with us."
"REALLY! YOU MEAN IT???" Joey almost exploded.
"Of course." Cara giggled. "That's only if Teddiursa would like to come of course."
"Teddi! Ursa!" Teddiursa jumped and hollered showing yes. Cara pulled out her poke-ball.
"Then come on in!" Cara held up the poke-ball. Teddiursa practically jumped directly inside. A click sound was heard, and Teddiursa was caught. Cara took a look at the ball. "Wow, I guess this would count as my first catch. Here you go, bro." Cara handed the ball to Joey.
"What? B-but I can't have a-"
"You're not keeping it." Cara winked at him. "Just think of it as babysitting. No battling or moves included. Deal?"
"I love you Cara." Joey hugged his big sister.
"And I love you Joey." Cara smiled returning the hug. Joey leaned out and released Teddiursa.
"Teddiursa! We're going to be best friends forever now. We'll get to do whatever we want. We can sing and dance, and eat berries and play tag, and.."
So, another conflict resolved, and another pokemon caught. Looks like the week went by faster than we thought. Nowng., Kevin and his friends will be in Violet City by the morning. But with Joey's new best friend, will he ever be ready to go home?
