Along Route 12, snow had began to set, as the travellers walked along on their way to Courmarine City.
James stopped and threw a snowball at the back of Dan's head.
Daniel: Oh yeah? *throws one back*
The two young men began having a snowball fight, in which Evan got involved too.
Alun: Winter isn't winter without a snowball fight I suppose.
Flannery: I hate this time of year, I hate the cold *wrapped up in her winter clothes* I much prefer Summer!
James ran through some bushes and trees to escape from the snowballs that were being flung at him.
A trainer caught eyes with him.
Trainer: Aha! Another trainer, I challenge you! 2 vs 2 battle sound good to you?
James: But I wasn't planning on battling.....
The gang emerged through the bushes.
Daniel: Oh James, looks like you've got yourself a battle.
James: But I don't want to battle.
Flannery: Oh come on, when two trainers eyes meet, they have to battle, you can't turn it down.
James: Wait? What? Since when?
Alun: Since the World Pokemon trainer rulebook was released in 1996.
James: Really?
Daniel: Really really.
Minun: Mai
Turtwig: Turt
Trainer: Okay let's start this then, GO Tauros, Zangoose!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1ZOEHZfhPUDaniel: Two powerhouses!
James: Squirtle! Chespin let's go!
Squirtle: Squirtle!
Chespin: Pin pin! Chespin!
James: Squirtle, Rapid Spin, Chespin use Vine Whip!
Squirtle went into its shell, Chespin then struck the shell with its vines launching it towards the two pokemon, hitting both.
Daniel: Ouch! A powerful shot!
Trainer: Tauros use Take Down, Zangoose use Slash!
The two pokemon struck the two starters, who shot off into the air.
James: Squirtle! Chespin!
The 2 pokemon landed far away from the gang.
James: Hey that's not fair.
Trainer: Ouch.....sorry about that.
James ran off in the direction of Squirtle and Chespin.
The gang followed in pursuit.
Squirtle and Chespin landed in a nearby town.
Squirtle: Squirtle! Squirtle!
Chespin: Chespin Chespin *looks over Squirtle to see if its hurt*
Squirtle gave Chespin a thumbs up. It then suggested heading back to the forest area.
The 2 pokemon headed back into the forest.
James: Squirtle! Chespin!! Where are you?
Squirtle and Chespin heard the calls of their trainer, they followed the voice, as they ran through some bushes, they arrived at a ranch filled with Miltank.
The Miltank looked at the two intruders with anger.
Squirtle waved.
Squirtle: Squirt?
Chespin: Pin
The Miltank then used Rollout.
A herd of Miltank came rolling towards the two pokemon.
Squirtle used Water Gun, in order to try and push them backwards.
Chespin: Ches!!!!
The Milbank's hit Squirtle and Chespin!
Squirtle: SQUIRT!
Chespin: CHESPIN!!!
Squirtle: Squirtle! Squirtle Squirtle!
Chespin: Chespin? Pin Pin?
Squirtle: Squirt! Squirtle Squirtle!
Squirtle began discussing a plan as the herd came rolling towards the two pokemon again.
Chespin nodded, it then used Vine Whip on the ground, it began to dig a trench in the snow.
The Milbank's hit the two pokemon again, this time causing more damage.
The gang arrived on the scene.
James: Squirtle! Chespin!
Daniel held James back.
Daniel: Wait, they're sorting out a problem on their own.
Chespin continued to dig its trench.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6CVvmkjdHAAgain the pokemon were hit, knocking them to the ground, both feeling very weak.
James: Why are those pokemon attacking?
Alun: They're Miltank, and they are very protective of the lands they live on, they must see them as intruders.
Daniel: Squirtle and Chespin have got this though!
The two pokemon laid on the ground,
James: Guys you can do it!
The two pokemon saw their trainer......they then both nodded and stood up.
Squirtle: Squirt!
Chespin: Ches!
The two pokemon began glowing at the same time.
James: WOAH!
Daniel: No way!
Evan: Are they both?
Flannery: Double Evolution!
Alun: Its rare, but it happens.
Squirtle evolved into Wartortle, Chespin evolved into Qualladin.
James: Who are they?
Daniel: Squirtle is now a Wartortle!
Alun: And Chespin is now a Qualladin.
James: Wartortle and Qualladin? Cool!
Qualladin continued to dig the trench.
Wartortle then used Water gun in the trench. The snow froze the water instantly.
The Milbank's came rolling towards the trench at a high speed. They rolled into the trench, slipping on the ice and shooting up into the air, they landed on the ground, KO'ing themselves.
James ran over to his two pokemon. They hugged him.
James: Uh....that was awesome.
Flannery: You guys were great.
James: They were weren't they.
Daniel: So you've got you're first evolved pokemon. And you were lucky to get a double one. Not bad for a newbie.
Alun: Congrats.
Flannery: Bet you could get some great pokemon from these two through a trade though.....
Both pokemon got nervous.
James: I said I'm done with that.
Flannery: Of course you are.
James: I am! If these two were willing to evolve in order to get back to me, then I must of built up a bond with them
Daniel: That's exactly what we've been telling you.
James: How can I trade them when they've been doing so much for me.
Flannery: Really?
James: Really really!
James: Return! Take a rest you two! Now come on! Let's keep going?
Daniel: Sounds good to me.
