Emerald groaned and looked at the dark clouds then to her cowering Arcanine. "Sorry boy I know you don't like the water but if you are going to get stronger you need to try and get over it." She sighed and petted his ears, he had only just evolved the day before, when he was a growlithe he would just go for it every single time with no fear, she wasn't sure what went wrong to make him so afraid now. "Come on one last try then we can go get a room somewhere." She promised him, looking over to her Lucario whom was sparring with Arcanine. "Allright we're ready, Arcanine try take down again. Lucario just block this time." She called over to him.<br/><br/>Lucario was her first pokemon, her dad had taken her to iron island and she had found an egg left near the docks. He let her keep it and when Riolu hatched she was inseperable from him. Her Furrett came next,  the little thing followed her through a forrest and never left her, it wasn't untill she got out she found it behind her holding up a bracelet she had dropped while in there.<br/><br/>Looking at her Arcanine again she remembered catching him then about a year ago at Cinebar Island, he was scrounging for food in the old mansion, she fed him and he protected her from a gang of Ratacate. She watched them battle and frowned, the weather was getting really bad now, she wondered if they should call it quits for the night.
