At first Luix didn't cared much about the two items held in Seismitoad's hand as they seemed insignificant but when he checked it in his Pokedex he immediately wanted to grab it from Seismitoad's hand and keep it for himself but he endured that urge.

"Oh! A gift. Thank you but I can't accept such valuable thing" Luix inwardly cried himself a river as those items are too precious.

Touched by the sincerity of Luix, Seismitoad immediately gave Luix the Damp rock and Big root and left without waiting for his response. This scene could only be described as one word 'cool'.

Luix was stupefied but when he got back to his self, he could only see Ray in front of him .

"Luix, youre so cool. Teach me too how can I become so dazzling like you!! Is what I wanted to say but man aren't you Rash!! Next time think before you leap kay?" said Ray as he reprimanded Luix for his Rash. Ray sounded just like his mother and remembered what she said before he left on his journey.

He immediately apologized as came out of his stupor."Sorry"

"Now that's more like it. So let's move out and find Granule and let's brag about our little experience." Patting luix in his shoulder, Ray started to lead the way towards the place where they decided to meet up.

... Granule's side of POV ...

I really hate Rain. Ever since I was small it was the only thing that irritated me the most second to none other than Ray. That shitty little brat only knows how to make me mad. So I had a brilliant idea of making Ray grateful to me for life.

First I purposely got lost in the forest, that way we could slowly bond with each other and get more intimate is what I had initially thought but that brat called Luix came in and ruined all my plan. I had initially thought that I should beat the crap out of him so that he will not bother with us but who would have thought that he was so powerful. Instead of him, I was in the receiving end of the beating.

"But one thing is sure. He is dangerous" I don't know what Ray thinks about him but according to my intuition he is simply dangerous. At first I thought it was just my intuition ringing wrong bell but after my battle with him I simply knew he was not to be messed with.

"His stuttering and his nature all must be some kind of act as how can someone even survive in the wild with that personality!"

But I'm not gonna poke my finger into a hornet's nest.

"Or, why should I ? " I'm not gonna court my death this early. When I have the power then only shall I be confident enough.

"Oh! 15 minutes has already passed. I must get going fast otherwise I might lose the match" said granule as she walked towards a stream flowing rapidly and threw her hook towards it.

Immediately after her hook was thrown, it shook. So Granule immediately pulled it out and to her surprise it was an alomomola.

"I don't need this sissy" As if the pokemon understood what she said, it immediately let out a hydro pump. It soaked granule thoroughly and as a result, Granule just exploded.

"You damn pokemon. You shall pay for it. Zebstrika use thunderbolt at that damn pokemon" A magnificent zebstrika materialized and it let out a bolt of thunder immediately.

As if the alomomola predicted it she created a barrier of sort around her.

Granule immediately knew it as it was a move called wide guard.

"Playing the smart one here huh? Zebstrika use thunder wave and then charge immediately!!"

Little did Granule know that all the rampaging she has done had triggered the wrath of the water pokemon here.

The thunder wave did hit the alomomola leaving it paralyzed but when zebstrika was getting ready for his charge a large vortex of water crashed down upon him.

Zebstrika was immediately knocked out leaving Granule stupefied.

"Who the hell did that. Come out here if you've got the guts" when Granule finish saying that one by one a large number of heads popped out.

"SHIT!!!" Granule immediately started to run for her dear life. Those number of pokemon wasn't something that she could handle currently. But she call back zebstrika before she ran.

"Wait for me you damned water pokemons!!! When I return I shall slaughter you all!!!!"

After that she went to a quieter place and got herself a basculin. She returned to the destined place and found both of the males waiting for her. She had lost the bet so Ray teased her for weeks before finally forgetting it. What will be their next bet?

Well we got to experience a side of granule's personality that shall remain hidden from Ray for a long time. But will she reveal this side of hers to Ray? To know about it tune in till then.

TO BE CONTINUED....
