"The normal mode let you challenge a gymnasium in a different manner. The more badges you have the more students you are going to fight. That's the only thing that doesn't change. However, you are not going to challenge 2 students in your first gym, if you wants to challenge the normal mode after beating the easy mode. You are going to challenge 1 student. The trick part? Every Pokémon is level 25. Every student will have 2 pokemon we will have to fight against. And finally the leader, will have 3 pokemons or more at level 30 each. After beating the gym leader you will receive a silver badge for the normal tier mode.
The hard more, if your pokemons are strong enough can be also pass, but each student will have three Pokémons, levels 40-45 and the gym leader will also have 3 or more pokemons at level 50! After beating the leader you will receive a gold medal.
The champion league can also be divided in elite 4 aspirants and champion aspirants. Trainers who have pokemons in the 50's to 80's levels are also referred as elite four, or elite 4 aspirants. As for any trainer that have two or more pokemons a level 81 or higher, they are called champions. They are the first line of defense against the power of 'Royal Pokémons', Pokémon hordes or any natural disasters. The second line of defense are the elite 4, gym leaders and all trainers with Pokémon that are able to fight that are in the levels 50's and higher. The third line of defense are trainers with Pokémon able to battle in the levels 30's to 50's and also Pokémon rangers. After that, we follows the order from the highest tier pokemon trainer depending on where we are."
"Turtwig." Turtwig looked at me as he realized the severity of the situation. Just imagine having to fight 30 Pokémons, levels 40-50 without the sufficient strength. That is if by any miracle we go that far while being weak.
"Although not everything is that bad," I continue: "after each fight you win you will become stronger. Gyms are a good place to gain experience." I said, while looking at his eyes innocently.
"Turtwig, Turtwig, Turtwig." Turtwig said with a look that says: "why is it that I don't trust you and that I feel we will die before we win the medal from exhaustion?"
"Hahahaha. The way Turtwig is looking at you says it all. Although, it's good that you know your limitations. Now why don't we eat. After that you can start your journey, eh?" "Sure, thanks Ms. Martha."
Take it easy, train well. You are just beginning your journey." Ms. Martha said.
"We will Ms. Martha. Lets go Turtwig, it's time we begin." "Turtwig." I said while Turtwig responded. After eating, they departed from Ms. Martha house. After saying their good byes. It was time to depart. We began walking north, to route 202.
"Right Turtwig, tomorrow we will begin our training. I have created our schedule to become stronger." "Turtwig?" "You are asking why I said our training and not only yours?" Turtwig nodded.
"Well that is because I will also train with you. The only thing I will not do is attack with the moves that you have. It is my obligation and duty to provide with the environment that you want. If you want to become a powerful pokemon, then I will help you achieve it. We are a team after all. Right?" "Turtwig." He agreed with me. I smiled watching his response.
Leaving Sandgem town, we found ourself looking at the vast grassy field that awaits us to pass, moving at the will of the wind. People said route 202 is a "winding path that twist through grassy fields." I guess they were not lying.
"In this route we can find two of the Pokémon for my main team. Starly, it's last evolution staraptor. And Shinx, which last evolution is Luxray. Keep your eyes open pal. Maybe we will need to teach them what is it that we want to accomplish in the future." "Turtwig."
45 minutes before, after eating in Ms. Martha's house. "Let's see what moves you know pal."
"Ding, Turtwig the tortoise Pokémon, the shell on its back is made of soil. On a very healthy Turtwig , the shell should be feel moist.
Species: Tiny Leaf Pokemon.

(Present time.)
"Umm let's see left or right? What do you choose pal?" "Turtwig." Leaving the decision to his trainer, Turtwig shook his from side to side.
I shrugged my shoulders and said: "well, let's go right then."
And that's how I began my journey to catch all Pokémons who wants to be with me.
