[color=f49ac2]"Hephaestus, I want you to give Phoniks your Leftovers, and you take this Z-Crystal, it's going to make you so much stronger in battle!!"[/color] The Pokemon did as ask and Liz called them both back to their pokeballs, she took off running once again and in sort order made it back to the edge of town and into the woods. This time she was going to run full speed ahead and get to Sunsay by night fall, there she will gain her first badge, and than challenge Rin to a rematch. Won't they be surprised at how strong her team had become!!

Liz was running right toward him. Sure she was just trying to make good time, but to him, it seemed like an attack. He was much to [u][i][b]hardy[/b][/i][/u] of a Pokemon to feel any fear. Every hair on his body stood straight on end as he faced the oncoming threat.
