We arrived at the Pokécenter at almost noon.  We healed our Pokémon, and changed our clothes and washed our old ones.
'I think we'd be better off buying new ones,' I said, looking at my torn pants and stained shirt.
'Nah,' Kamon responded.  'We can go ahead and buy some new clothes, but I'm gonna keep these.  You know, as a reminder of everything we went through to get here.'
'Good point,' I said.  We did buy some new clothes, but they were relatively the same as our old ones.
We went to a registration office.  We had to wait in line behind about ten other trainers; judging on the way they were bragging about their Pokémon and how they were in the fifties and sixties, we didn't think that there would be an incredible challenge.  Our Pokémon, after all, were in the high seventies and eighties.  It took only twenty minutes for us to get up to the counter.
'Hello,' the woman behind the counter said, 'how may I help you?'
'Yeah, um, I would like to register for the Prime League competitions,' I said.
'Of course.  May I have your name, please?'
'Last name:  Anderson.  First:  Drew,' I replied.
'Ah, the Mr. Drew Anderson.  We were expecting you.  We were worried that you, of all people, wouldn't make it.'
'Erm, yeah, it's me…'  The lady took my Pokédex and slipped it into a machine.  She then typed for a second, and then proceeded in handing back my Pokédex.
'You're all registered.  Have a nice time in Gehta,' she said with a smile.  'Next, please.'
'Name's Kamon. Kamon-'
'Yes, we know, Drew and Kamon.  We were expecting both of you.  Pokédex, please.'  She repeated the procedure for Kamon, and in another two minutes we were walking out of the small office.
'Was that weird or what?' I said to Kamon.
'Tell me about it.  So, which direction to we go?' Kamon asked.
'Well, I think that Gehta is designed to be traveled through easily, going around in a circle.  We would go east, toward Shadow City.  There is a Dark Pokémon gym there.  It's only a day or two's walk from here,' I said.
'Sound's good to me.  Let's go.'
We left the city that day and continued our journey.  This was remarkably easier than the trek through the mountains, and we actually enjoyed it.
Gehta was very strange, mostly because it's surrounded by mountains (everywhere you look there is a mountain on the horizon) and the fact that there will be a city, and then nothing for miles, and then a city.  And the strangest thing was that the locals were used to this.
After only a day's walk (we didn't sleep that night; we weren't used to sleeping this often…) we arrived in Shadow City, and stayed at the Pokécenter for the rest of the day.  The Pokécenters in Gehta, unlike the ones in Johto and Kanto, had rooms that you could stay overnight in, like a hotel.
'We don't exactly have a deadline to meet to fight in the Center Stadium,' Kamon said.  'We can go at our own leisure.'
'And we can actually sleep in!' I pointed out.  'Every night, too.'
'Yeah…This is the type of quest I've wanted to be on.  It seems like every day is a Sunday, where you can really just do whatever.  My first quest was constrained to beating Lance, and my second was really just trying to redeem my pride and defeat…well, you, Drew.  This is the first journey where I don't actually have to do anything.  I'm mostly in this for you.  It would have been tough getting here by yourself,' Kamon ended.  He sighed, and then smiled.  'Thanks, though, for dragging me along.  Battling or not, this is pretty fun.'
'Hey, no problem…but I thought you were in it for battling too,' I replied.
'Well, I will fight, I guess.  But it's not my priority this time around.'
'Then what is?'
'I dunno.  Nothing, really.  I'm just in it for the ride, I suppose.'
'The journey is only have of it, Kamon,' I said.
'You're right,' Kamon said.  'But it doesn't really matter whether or not I fight.  As long as I hang around, I'm fine.  No matter what you do.'
'That's reassuring,' I said, although I think it came out sarcastically.
We slept in, like we wanted to, and then headed straight for the gym.  The gym leader's name was Dustin, the Dark Master.  Apparently the only people that could be gym leaders here must've proven their worth; they had to show that they were a 'master' of their training field.  I would assume that specialists from around the world got offers.  I suspected that one of Kamon's best friends, Falkner, the leader of Violet City Gym and a Flying Pokémon trainer, was offered, but I guess he turned it down.  Falkner, as far as I knew, was still at his normal place in his gym.
We walked into a Dark place, with only violet lights in the ceiling on.
'Too weird,' I said, looking around.  All of a sudden, normal lights turned on, and a trainer jumped down from the catwalks above.  He wore black jeans, with a black shirt, and his hair was died black and red.  It was combed back.  The red hair was in streaks on the back.
'Greetings,' the trainer, who I assumed to be Dustin, said.  'You must be good to have made it here.  However, I have met a lot of trainers, and very few have beaten me.  They are obviously not strong enough to beat me.  Will you?'
'Possibly,' Kamon responded.
'Of course I'll win,' I said, grinning.
'I have heard that one before,' Dustin said.  His voice was and slightly rasping.  'Which one of you will battle first?'
'I will,' I said, stepping forward.
'Fine then.  It will be a six-on-six match.  You choose first,' Dustin said.
'All right,' I responded.  Dark Pokémon, huh? I thought.  I know just who to choose!  'The ultimate anti-Dark Pokémon is my first choice.  Heracross, go!'  I threw my Pokéball with Heracross within it into the cement stadium.
'Hitmonlee, come out!' Dustin commanded.  The long-legged brown Pokémon came out, and I was immediately taken aback.
'Wait a sec…Hitmonlee isn't Dark!' I shouted.
'Of course not.  But who says that all of my Pokémon must be Dark?  Hitmonlee, Mega Kick!'  My Heracross easily ducked under that attack.
'Heracross, Mega Horn attack!' I shouted.  Heracross immediately charged at Hitmonlee with its horn glowing.  Heracross rammed into Hitmonlee, doing a lot of damage.
'Yeah, ouch,' Dustin said sarcastically.  'Hitmonlee, Hi Jump Kick, now!'  Hitmonlee leapt high into the air, and then, and he was coming down, swung his leg out.  It struck my Heracross in the face.
'Heracross, use a Take Down!' I said.  Heracross body slammed Hitmonlee, doing damage to itself, however.  Hitmonlee retaliated with another Mega Kick, but this time it struck Heracross, doing a lot of damage.  'Finish it,' I started, 'with a Reversal!'  Heracross took all of the damage it had received and unleashed it onto Hitmonlee, instant knock out.
'Not too bad, newbie,' Dustin sneered.
'Newbie!  Newbie!  You take that back, or else…' I snapped.  No one calls me a newbie.
'That's right.  A newbie!  This is your first match in Gehta, right?  That makes you a newbie.  And or else what, huh?'
'You'll see as soon as you send out your next Pokémon…'  My fist tightened as I said those words.  He would pay.  Those were just simple words, but nobody, nobody says that to even Kamon, for that matter or me.
'Fine then,' Dustin said.  'Houndour, go!  Your Fire Blast!'  I let my Heracross be knocked out.  I wanted to use my Ho-oh or Lugia against this jerk.
'Come back, Heracross.'  Hmm… I thought.  Lugia is weak against Dark, so I guess I'll use…  'Ho-oh, let's go!  Your Thunderbolt attack!'  Ho-oh flew up into the air and quickly struck with the Electric attack.  Houndour retaliated with a Crunch, but it did only a little damage.
'Fine, then.  Houndour, Sludge Bomb attack!'  A sphere of poison struck my Ho-oh, not doing much, but poisoning him.
'All right, Ho-oh; Hyper Beam attack, now!' I said.  My marvelous Fire Pokémon summoned gold energy in its mouth and then blasted it at Houndour, annihilating it.  Dustin recalled his Dark Pokémon, and then sent out his next.
'Okay, Slow-no, Pupitar, go!  Rock Slide!'  The blue cocoon Pokémon tossed rocks at Ho-oh, doing four times the regular amount of damage.  Obviously, I had to recall him.
'Ho-oh, return.  Tyranitar, come out!  Surf!'  You try to take quadruple damage, I thought.  The wave crashed over Pupitar, instant K.O.
'Pupitar, you stood no chance against a Tyranitar,' Dustin said.  'Return.  Now, I will choose Sneasel!  Attack it with Ice Beam!'  The frozen water crystals hit Tyranitar, doing mediocre damage.
'Tyranitar, get this match over with,' I said.  'Fire Blast him.'  A burst of fire enveloped the Dark Pokémon, and he fell, knocked out.
'I cannot believe this!' Dustin shouted.  His Pokémon returned to its Pokéball.  'All right.  Slowking, attack!  Hydro Pump, now!'  The ball of water sailed at my Pokémon, at hit it square in the chest.  Tyranitar lived, though.
'Tyranitar, Crunch, now!'  Huge black jaws clamped down on Slowking, and it did an incredible amount of damage.  Still not enough to knock it out.
'Slowking, finish his Pokémon off with a Surf,' said Dustin.  A wave rushed over my Pokémon, and it collapsed.
'Come back, Tyranitar,' I said.  'Now, what should I choose…I don't want to go to hard on you.  How about Feraligatr.  Let's go!'  I threw the Ultra Ball holding my only Water-type Pokémon out into the arena.  My blue alligator came out of its confinement with a flash of light and awaited my command.  'Finish Slowking with a Crunch,' I said.  Feraligatr bit down on Slowking, finishing him off as I had predicted.
'No way!  Slowking, come back.  For my last Pokémon, I will choose my most powerful.  Houndoom, come out!' Dustin yelled.  'Use Sunny Day, and follow up with Solarbeam!'  Houndoom made the room unbearably bright, and then blasted a light beam at Feraligatr.  The attack merely knocked him backwards, and allowed my Pokémon to continue its assault.
'Earthquake, now!' I commanded.  Feraligatr jumped on the ground, making it tremble.  Houndoom took incredible damage, but was not nearly knocked out.
'Houndoom, another Solarbeam!' Dustin cried.  The attack struck Feraligatr again, but still didn't knock him out.  I decided to recall Feraligatr and send out my Lugia.  Feraligatr wouldn't survive another attack of any kind, and Lugia hasn't battled yet.
'Come back, Feraligatr, and go, Lugia!' I said.  'Lugia, use your Ancient Power attack!'  Lugia roared, and rocks came up from the ground and slammed into Houndoom, making him faint.
'What-what kind of trainer are you!?' Dustin exclaimed.  'I cannot believe I lost!  Houndoom, come back.  Dude, you're not a run-of-the-mill trainer.  You're something special, kid.  It will get you a long way.'
'Thank you,' I replied.  'Now, I believe you owe me a badge.'
'Nope.  In Gehta, we don't have badges.  Instead, you give me your Pokédex, and you get a 'digital badge.'  After you, or if you, defeat all six gyms in Gehta, you go back to Chrono City, and re-register.  Only by having all of the badges on your Pokédex will the gate to Center City open.  The badges act like keys,' Dustin explained.  'Your status can be viewed online.  You can see how you are doing, and how all other trainers in Gehta are doing.  A great system, if you ask me.  Now, if you would hand over your Pokédex, I'll put the 'badge' in it.'  I handed my Pokédex to Dustin.  He walked over to a computer and slid it in.  He typed a little, and then ejected my Pokédex.  He handed it back to me and continued to speak.  'Does your friend here want to battle?' he asked.
'I don't know,' I responded.  I turned to Kamon.  He shook his head 'no'.
'Well, I suppose this is good-bye.  See ya, kid.  And good luck.'
'You too, Dustin,' I said. 
Kamon and I both walked out of the gym.  We continued on to the next city with Dustin's good omen going through my head.
