Pokémon Sword and Shield: Anmesia

Chapter 5 ~ Young Milo Had a Farm

Narrator's P.O.V

Our heroes Journey begin as they head out to Turffield, but in order to get to Turffield, they need to go through the Galar Mine. With Bella participating in the Gym Challenge, Victor, Hop, and Gloria are planning to teach Bella everything about Pokémon battling.

Bella's P.O.V

As we journey through Route 3, we ran into Sonia who showed us the area where they dig up stuff in the Galar Mine, so we continued our journey and even ran into some wild Pokémon, but nonetheless we manage to get to the Galar Mine.

Hop: [huff] we finally made it
Gloria: are you sure this is safe?
Valarie: absolutely, there may be some other Pokémon but I'm sure it's safe, if it wasn't we would've taken a Flying Taxi, but this is perfectly safe, and to make you kids happy, I got us some hard helmets
Victor: thanks [place his helmet on]
Bella: [place her helmet on] this should keep us safe
Valarie: yup, now let's go and explore

We all walked into the Galar Mine, and we were all mesmerized by the beautiful star pieces all around, there were so many colors that I wish I could take all of them, but they weren't for us to take, we needed to get to the other side of the Galar Mine and reach to Turffield to face the Grass Gym Leader. After going through the Mine to find our way out, we spotted someone at the exit, it was Bede. I was surprised at first but felt someone wrap their arm around my shoulder and glare at him, it was Hop and he didn't look happy to see him.

Bede: Coming this way? I'd advise against it. Any Trainer with a Wishing Star is in for a beating from me and my Pokémon
Hop: [glares and growls silently]
Bede: [looks at Hop] and you, keep your hands to yourself, after all the beauty over there shouldn't be even near you
Bella: [blush]
Hop: why you-
Valarie: at ease, mate. This boy is nothing but trouble, he isn't worth battling
Hop: but-
Valarie: a true trainer should never let venomous words from an Ekans poison them
Hop: you're right
Bede: [glares at Valarie] and you are?
Valarie: my name is Valarie Zafirah Goodman, I'm a Detective from the Alola Region, I'm here to teach these trainers the way of being the very best like no one ever was
Bede: typical, a babysitter for you worthless trainers [looks at Victor] and you. You and your sister are the Gym Challengers endorsed by the Champion, aren't you
Victor: [glares] depends, who's asking?
Bede: [smirk] what a joke. You are aware that the chairman is more important than the Champion, right?
Hop: [growl]
Valarie: yes, but so is the Champion, without one, there shouldn't be a Gym Challenge or Dynamaxing allowed here in the Galar Region
Bede: hmph, I was chosen by the chairman himself, so that makes me more amazing than you all. Except for the Beauty next to the worthless trainer
Hop: that does it! You and me battle right here right now
Bella: Hop, don't. We don't know what kind of Pokémon he has
Valarie: Psychic types
Bede: huh? How did you-
Valarie: a great detective knows these things, you specialize in Psychic types of Pokémon. Am I wrong?
Bede: [gulp] well...
Valarie: so I'm right, how about this. If Victor can beat you in a Pokémon Battle, you have to let us through, but if he loses, we'll give you our wishing stars
Victor: [gasp] Valarie
Hop/Gloria: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!
Valarie: trust me kids, Bede has a zero percent chances of beating Victor. Believe me I know these battles, I've been though all the regions before, and I know how this ends
Gloria: are you sure?
Valarie: I'm sure
Bede: heh, very well. I suppose I should prove beyond doubt just how pathetic you are and how strong I am
Valarie: I'll be the referee for this battle, Kaori, do you mind healing Victor's Pokemon?
Bella: o-oh sure [walks up to Victor] this will only take a second
Victor: thanks Bella

I completed healing Victor's Pokémon and stepped away from him, and I stood between Hop and Gloria. Valarie took a deep breath as we watch Victor and Bede getting ready to battle, finally it started.
