"Wow. Hopefully no one will be seriously injured..." Lowell sends out Pidgey, who flexes her wings. "Pidgey, fly up there and try to see what's going on, but keep your distance and try to keep them from seeing you!"

Pidgey nods and soars upward, trying to get a good view of the fight. The Pidgey finally gets a good view of the fight and is surprised. On one bird is a girl with brown hair wearing a silver bennie and red jacket. She also wore a lighter silver scarf. The other fighter is a boy wearing a silver shirt with a bright red lightning symbol.

Pidgey sees enough and flies back toward Lowell to tell him what happened.

Lowell listens to Pidgey's description. "OK. They definitely seem to have a thing for silver and red, but besides that, I'm not sure if we can -or should- do anything." Lowell looks back up at the battle.

Finally it seems that both Pidgeots have calmed down and both are just flying in place. Quickly the female jumps from her bird onto the other. Soon both pokemon land not far off from your location.

Lowell walks over towards their landing spot, and tries to get a good look at the people while remaining hidden.

the two seem to be relaxing. The girl speaks up.

"Well that was quite a training session. Huh?"

"Yeah it was leader. Thanks for teaching me!" the boy calls out happily. The girl waved her hand.

"Thats Saroya to you. Calling me that makes me think of team Rocket." Saroya removes her cap and sighs.

Lowell keeps watching from the hidden spot. "OK, what is she the leader of...?"

"This is s cool! i'm part of Silver spark!" the boy yells out and Saroya smiles.

"Its not that big of a deal you know. I just started this team so I could help others." Saroya shrugged her shoulders. Before the boy can respond she silences him. Calmly she listens for anything then removes her hand.

"Sorry, thought I heard someone, you where saying?"

"Nevermind."

Lowell breathes a sigh of relief. I don't want them to know that I'm listening to their conversation. Lowell exits his hiding spot, going around and back into the main area.

You continue back to where you once where, and are away from the other twos discussion.

Lowell heads back towards Lavendar Town, passing by the spot Saroya and her team member landed to see if there was anything new occuring.

Saroya was leaning against a tree when you walk through. "Hey Lowell? Is that you?" She calls out happy to see you.

Lowell waves. "Yes, I just got to this town yesterday." he says.

"Cool, so does that mean you got your third badge?" Saroya says moving from the tree grinning.

"Yes, Bonsly and Riolu were able to take out Lt. Surge's Pokemon pretty easily." Lowell showed her the third badge he had earned. "What are you two doing here?"

"Me? Well I happened to start a new team, its called Silver Spark. I'm here because I just donated alot of money to the pokemon tower for a memorial to all pokemon killed in action by other teams." Saroya yawned.

"Its still a small group though. We're still looking for new members."

"Oh, that memorial was something you made?" Lowell said. "Oh, do you know what this item is?" Lowell held up the silver chain. "I found it in the Tower, but no one seems to be able to tell what it is."

"Hmm...I remember this from somewhere..." saroya twist the star around in her hand and smiles. "I remember now! I used to wear one of these. They're kinda like a lucky charm. If a pokemon wears it, it'll have a better chance of dodging attacks." Saroya hands the item back to you.

"Oh, that's a cool effect." Lowell puts the item back in his pocket. "So what were you doing here? A new team?"

"Yep, just training a new member. So far we only have like five members total. Not alot but each is pretty strong. Hey, Lowell want to join? You'll get paid and will still be allowed to get gym badges. Even kick other teams butts every now and again."

"Sure, but will it affect my schedule at all? I still have a lot of more towns to visit and badges to earn. But I'm available to stop Team Rocket."

"Not really, we'll send you a message or vist you if we got a job involving team rocket, or any other team. it really doesn't take that much time." Saroya sats and hands you a silver band with red bolt. "That'll show that your a member."

"Cool." Lowell puts the band on. "Oh, something interesting about Team Rocket: I encountered some of them on Route 12. The first two were just looking for Pokemon to steal, but then there was another group that was shooting at this strange Munchlax..."

Saroya's eyes widened. "Really now? Mind if I could see this Munchlax?"

"Sure. I captured it to help it escape." Lowell releases Munchlax from his Pokeball. "He apparently doesn't get as much to eat as other Munchlaxes. But the real strange thing is that he uses electric attacks."

"hmm..." Saroya leans down and looks at the different Munchlax. "Thinner then most, electric attacks, bolt shapped mark...He's a Rocket expariment. I can tell."

"Really? That'd be why they're after it, again. Are there other experiments, too?"

"Yes another four. I happen to have one of them." Saroya takes out a pokeball. "Luxray!" She summons the large lion from its pokeball. "Luxray, my second pokemon and the reason why I'm enemys with team Rocket."

"I see." Lowell looks at Luxray. "What did they do to it?"

"They made it where anybody that touchs it, gains its speed, strength and agility." Saroya sets one hand on the electric lions mane.

"Really? That would make for a pretty powerful human. The powers and abilities of a fully-evolved Pokemon..."

"Yeah, but I've only taken in half of his power. Well that's all I've let in. This power has extreme set backs, one, taking in to much power could make the person pass out or even die. Another is that the pokemons personality, or traits is transfered into the trainer." Saroya gives a slight sigh.

"I've suffered from both of these, When Luxray, was only a Shinx and evolved into a Luxio I passed out the next time I touched him. I also can't help but growl at Team Rocket members or attack them with my bare hands like I had claws."

Lowell nodded. "I see. I suppose that the energized Pokemon cells aren't quite compatable with human ones. That is probably pretty dangerous..." Lowell observed Luxray. "It is still pretty neat, though."

"Yeah, Team Rocket wanted to make they're members stronger with this pokemon, thankfully I saved him from them." Saroya sighed. "Since that day Rocket members have been after me, Oh Lowell! I found this in the Rocket base."

Saroya pulls out a small rolled up peice of paper. When you open it you find a picture of yourself with an award on it.

"Giovanni sure is pissed off at what you did! He's offering high cash prises for your capture. 3000 dollars and a promotion."

"Dang, only 3000? I thought kicking sand in his face would've gotten more." Lowell laughs. "Anyway, where are you guys going to go now? Back to town, or more training?"

"Hehe, be thankfull for that price, it took me forever to get up to the amount mine is, the only way to get it really up is god knows what! To tell the truth I was planning on doing more training. Then heading back to my hotel room." Saroya responds and sends Luxray back into his pokeball.

"I see. I'm probably going to wait a couple days before challenging the Gym Leader here. You know anything else of interest around this city?"

"Not really, its a pretty plain village. Besides training they're isn't much to do. Thats why I'm all the way out here." Saroya sighs. "well at lest this town isn't polluted like other towns, reminds me of pallet town."

"Right." Lowell looks around. "What kind of training do you do? Just basic stuff?"

"Well, to some lower level members maybe. When I'm by myself, I like to do abit more extreme. Hey Lowell want to join me? That other member left back home awhile ago. You could give my methods a try." Saroya says with a grin.

"Sure. What kind of Pokemon should I use?" Lowell asks. "I have 9 to choose from. A few more since I last saw you."

"This one will need all of your pokemon, so you should summon up your whole team." Saroya states.

Lowell took out all his Pokeballs. "The six I have with me, or all nine total?" He asked, sending out the remaining Pokemon he had with him.

"All six please." saroya summons out all of her pokemon.

Lowell summons the six Pokemon he had with him: Munchlax, Wartortle, Poliwag, Riolu, Pidgey, and HootHoot. "There we go, that's all of 'em."

"Good. Now, Lowell, whats part of being a good trainer?" Saroya asks.

"Understanding your Pokemon, working together, using good strategy?" Lowell throws out most of his knowledge about the subject.

"Yes, but the trainer also has to be fast, quick thinking and strong. If not teams like Rocket will take you out like that!" Saroya states and puts both hands behind her head.

"As far as I can tell, Team Rocket isn't very competent. It only takes one Pokemon to defeat half a dozen of them!" Lowell says. "But please continue!"

"hehe, it may be true, that most rockets are stupid, but most can be quite deadly. Anyway, My training mostly invoves my pokemon attacking me, while I avoid invade those attacks. You will do the same. It will also help you calm your nerrves when fighting."
