KT: And, we're back with these. :D
Zack: WHY MINE FIRST!?
KT: Cause, I like this one. Arceus Please is also coming back. Plus, a special One-Shot for a new fic. It's going to be epic!
Nonsenseshipping.
"WHAT!?" Zack Katsomoto, age 10 called out. His red hair not spiked today. But rather hung down to his shoulders. His ice blue eyes made the receptionist shudder. Ambrosia the Roselia sighed and shook her head. His red jacket with two gold stripes down each arm hung open. Revealing his dark blue shirt. Six pokéballs sat on his belt. His legs where covered by jeans.
"I'm sorry. But this is a couples only event." she replied.
Zack sighed and rubbed his forehead. "great. Lovely. Just perfect."
The event Zack was trying to sign up for was held in Hearthome City; Sinnoh. It was a month since he watched his friend enter the league. With only one spot left for registering, he offered to sit it out. And a few months after Team Phantom's fall. A few members where arrested. But the rest got away.
Zack turned away from the receptionist and walked out of the building. Taking in a deep breath of the city air. He looked around, at the gym, and at the buildings.
"I don't believe this! A couples ONLY event!?" he called at the sky. "one of the few times I try to battle for fun, and not for a badge, or for my life, or for someone else's life. And it turns out to be a exclusive event."
"Rose rose Roselia rose rose." Ambrosia petted his head trying to reassure him.
"Thanks Ambrosia. But I don't think we'll be able to battle in the competition." Ambrosia just smiled.
"Roselia."
"Urgh…the heck is a couple?"
"Roserose Roselia rose rose. Roselia Rose rose lia rose lia lia rose. Roselia rose rooooooosssssssseeeeee."
"Really? That's what they are…?" Zack pondered, looking at the rose pokémon. Who nodded. "so, two people who like each other are a couple? Wait…just like my mom and dad where…ohh. You could have just said that Ambrosia."
Ambrosia smacked her forehead with her flowered hand.
"Hey ya Zack!" a dark blond haired girl called out, waving. Her hair was waved. She was wearing a fitted purple sweater and jeans. A white All-stars cap, and a necklace with a crystal on it.
His heart skipped a beat.
"This feels, like déjà vu." Zack muttered to himself. Recalling the fact where he first met her. And…her two siblings.
Ambrosia smiled slightly.
"Nice to see you again." she said as she neared him. Her sister and brother weren't in sight.
"Ye-yeah Randomella."
Whack.
Her fist connected with his head. And his head connected with the cement. Ambrosia gracefully leapt from his shoulder, landing on the cement.
"Don't call me Randomella!"
If only you knew… Ambrosia thought to herself, turning to face Randomella…erm…Random.
"Hiya Ambrosia! Nice to see you again!" Ambrosia curtsied.
"Say…you look like someone else I know…"
"Well…I do have a twin brother somewhere in the world…" Zack said, groaning as he got up rubbing the back of his head. "figured I might as well have my hair not spiked every once in a while."
"Ah. That explains that. So, what're you doing here?"
Ambrosia answered that question by jumping up onto her shoulders, and pointing at the building where the event was being held.
"Why'd you want to join there?" Random asked, crossing her arms and frowning at the younger boy.
True enough, she was older then him by three years.
"…uh…" Zack looked down at the ground. "I wanted to battle for fun. And not for a gym battle. Or for my life."
"Well then, why cant you enter?"
"Couples only…"
"Well…hmmm…I think we could pretend, since you want to enter so badly."
Zack looked up. His cheeks slightly tinted with red. "su-sure."
"Rooossseeeelllliiiiaaaaa." Ambrosia hummed. Looking between her trainer and friend.
"Come on Zack! Lets go!" Random called out, running into the building.
"Why is my heart pounding…?" he shook his head. And walked calmly after her.
(Time skip! Right to the Receptionist! Why? Cause I say so!)
"You two are a couple?" the receptionist asked, eyeing both of them sceptically.
"Ye-yea-yeah." Zack stuttered. Ambrosia rested in his hood. Giggling to herself at the fact that her trainer stuttered.
"We are."
The receptionist sighed, and looked at her paperwork. "you can drop the act. I already know. You two really aren't convincing."
"What makes you so sure that we aren't?"
"The fact that you two aren't holding hands."
Both Zack and Random looked at each other. Zack turned away a second later. His face turned slightly red.
"Well…we are."
"Just to forewarn you." the receptionist looked at them both. "if you make it to the finals, and win. In order to prove that you two really are a couple. You have to kiss…"
Zack paled. His eyes lowered. Random just nodded.
(Semi-Finals)
"We're just a battle away from the finals folks!" the referee shouted into the mike.
On the left side of the battlefield, stood Zack and Random. On the right side, stood two people whom they had never seen before. One was a red head, just like Zack. Only his hair was more coppery. It was spiked upwards. And he was wearing a red t-shirt, and jeans. Beside him, was a girl with violet hair. Wearing a purple long sleeved shirt, and jeans.
"On the blue side! We have Random Chase! And her boyfriend, Zack Katsomoto!" Zack and Random both waved to the crowd.
"On the red side! We have Sam Blare! And his girlfriend Melany Matsoukis!" both of their opponents waved to the crowd.
"I want a nice clean battle from the four of you!" All four nodded, as the referee quickly ran out of the battle field.
"Arcanine. Go." Sam said. Tossing out a pokéball that split open, revealing the large orange and black dog. With lighter fur around it's neck, and tail.
"Lady Voir, I need your help…" Melany sighed, and tossed out her pokéball. Revealing the elegant pokémon, that looked like a…well…a lady. Except for the red horn coming from her chest.
"Ok…so we have a Arcanine and a Gardevior…great…" Zack said sighing. "Seishou! Battle form!" he threw his pokéball in a wide arc. Out of it came the sun pokémon. A Espeon. The pink cat like pokémon stretched before sitting down, staring down her opponents.
"Riley! Battle set!" Random called out, tossing her own pokéball. Out of it came a Glaceon.
"Espeon and Glaceon going up against Arcanine and Gardevior! BEGIN!"
"Arcanine. Blast that Glaceon out of here with Flamethrower."
"Riley! Use Blizzard to cover the field! Then use Dig!" Random called out.
"Seishou, prepare yourself with Calm Mind. Keep going until I say to stop please."
Riley opened his mouth, sending out a torrent of cold air and snow. The blizzard pelted both Arcanine and Lady Voir. When Arcanine managed to ready the fire inside of him. He launched it in a torrent of flames at where Riley was. Missing the ice pokémon completely, mainly because he was under ground.
"Lady Voir. Magical Leaf on the Espeon please." Melany said calmly. As the Gardevior twirled in the spot, sending multiple multi coloured leaves at the Espeon. She had expected to do more damage then it did. Which was barely any. Seishou kept her concentration with her eyes closed. Building up her special attack and defence.
"Dammit. That Espeon will be a royal pain in the-"
"Sam."
"Tch. Fine. Whatever Psychic. Use your powers, tell us what they're planning."
"One. I will not cheat. Two, even if I wished, I could not. I am not a mind reader."
"Tch. Arcanine! Use Dig!"
Arcanine began digging at the ground, quickly making a tunnel big enough for her to get into.
"Riley, locate Arcanine underground and use Water Pulse!"
"Lady Voir. Teleport beside the Espeon. Use Hypnosis."
Riley heard his trainer from under ground. And attempted to locate where Arcanine was. Shortly enough, from Arcanine's hole came the dog pokémon. Lady Voir disappeared in a flash of white light, reappearing beside Seishou. Attempting to put the morning pokémon to sleep, but failed due to her eyes being shut tight.
"Seishou, Shadow Ball directly in front of you! Keep your eyes shut!" Zack called out quickly.
"Lady Voir! Teleport!" Melany tried.
Seishou opened her mouth, gathering a ball of a shadowy substance. And quickly launched it at the psychic type of pokémon. Lady Voir was sent backwards, skidding to a stop directly in front of her trainer.
"Arcanine. Get up." Sam said in a sharp tone. Arcanine slowly got up. Growling at both of her opponents. Riley popped his head out of his hole. And gave off a quiet chuckle.
"Both of them took a heavy blow it seems." Zack whispered, risking a quick glance at his partner.
Random smiled. "of course, we're a great team!"
Zack smiled and nodded in agreement. Attempting to keep his calm, while his heart began racing a mile a minute.
"Alright. I'll focus on Arcanine. You go for Gardevior?"
"Go for whoever has the opening." she replied.
"Right. Of course. Seishou! Shadow Ball on Gardevior again!"
"Lady Voir, Teleport beside Glaceon. Use Hypnosis when you do."
"Charge it up! Release when I say!" Zack added in quickly.
Lady Voir teleported in front of Riley, her eyes swirling. Riley soon caught on, his eyelids drooping as he slowly fell into a deep sleep.
"NOW!" Zack shouted, pumping a fist forward. Seishou launched the ball of the shadowy substance at Gardevior. Lady Voir fell back a few steps, before falling unconscious.
"Tch. No wonder your one of the weakest members of the group." Sam's arms where crossed. As he glared at his 'girlfriend'. Melany glared at him, before recalling Lady Voir into the pokéball. "Giga Impact on Glaceon."
"Psychic!"
"Hit Arcanine with a Water Pulse again Riley!" Random called out.
As the Arcanine came running in with a orange glow to her, she was stopped by being raised up into the air by a blue glow. Seishou's eyes where glowing blue. Riley opened his mouth, and gathered a water orb there. Once it was the size he wanted, he launched it at the Arcanine, hitting her directly in the chest, soaking her fur. Seishou used her Psychic powers to slam Arcanine down into the ground. Swirls appeared in her eyes.
"Arcanine and Gardevior are unable to battle! Espeon and Glaceon win!" the referee called out, pointing at both Zack and Random.
"I noticed something about your battles with Seishou…she never really moved from where she started…" Random said, as both Zack and her recalled their Eevee evolutions.
"Espeon's do not need to move." Melany stated. As Sam and her walked over, to shake their hands.
"You two don't seem to be a couple…" Zack stated.
"Touché." Melany added, looking at both of them. "from what I can tell. Your next opponents are two more friends of ours. They will not be as easy to beat as we where."
"Thanks…" Random hung her head.
Zack and Random stood in the waiting room.
"I cant believe it!" Zack called out. "we made it to the FINALS!"
"Yeah…Zack…you can let go now…"
Zack looked at himself. He was hugging her, he didn't even see it happen.
"Uh…oh…sorry…" he said. Taking his arms away, and turning around. Hoping she didn't see his face colour.
"It's alright. Hey, are you feeling ok?"
"Ye-yeah…"
"So…our next opponents are their friends…and they're stronger apparently…"
Zack didn't reply. Instead, he looked around at all the chairs. And the television that was in front of him.
"Sara… why did you make me enter?" a boy around sixteen walked in the room. Wearing a black cap on his head. Some black hair came from under it. He was wearing a blue shirt, with a picture of a blue European dragon on it. Blue jeans where on his legs. Beside him was a girl with copper hair. She wore a white skit that cut off just above the knees, and a yellow t-shirt with a white jacket over top.
"Well, one, we could use those free hotel rooms. Two, this is fun! And three--" she was cut off by tripping over something. Landing flat on her face. "ow…"
The guy wearing the hat sighed, and shook his head. Zack caught a reflection off near the guy's eyes. He was wearing glasses.
"You really gotta stop tripping over everything."
"I would, but that's harder then it looks Aaron." Sara replied. Pulling herself off of the floor. She then turned to face Zack and Random. "oh! You two must be our opponents! I'm Sara Blare! And this is my friend, Aaron Ethos!"
Aaron smacked his forehead. "Sara, I can introduce myself."
"Um…I'm Zack… and this is my…"
"Friend. Random's my name."
"Random…?" Sara asked, turning to face Aaron.
"It's short for Randomella!" Zack chipped in, before meeting the floor for the second time that day.
"Zack…you really have to stop calling me by my full name…"
Aaron and Sara stood there, arms crossed, looking at the two of them.
"I'll take it that he might like her?" Sara whispered at her partner.
"Most likely."
"Time to set them up?"
"You barely know them…but go ahead."
Sara took Random off to the other side, to talk to her. Meanwhile, Aaron and Zack conversed. He found out that Aaron trained only grass types, and loved to cook.
"AND NOW! For the match you've all been waiting for! Which couple will reign supreme!?" the referee shouted, as the crowd cheered and clapped. "All the way from Veilstone! Give it up for Aaron Ethos! And his girlfriend, all the way from Cinnabar Island, give it up for Sara Blare!" Aaron and Sara walked out onto the blue side of the battlefield, waving to the crowd. Aaron had a look that pretty much said 'after this. I'm going to kill you…' while Sara didn't care.
"And, in the red corner, we have from Twinleaf Town, Zack Katsomoto! And his girlfriend from…"
"That's none of your business!"
"Ok…trainers, send out your pokémon!"
"Magnezone! Sparkle!" Sara called out, tossing out a black and white pokéball, with a yellow 'U' on the black part. Out of it came a large disc like pokémon, with three eyes. Magnets on two sides for hands.
"Whoa…" Zack said, looking at the Magnezone. "ok…Akai! Battle form!" he called out, tossing out the red and white pokéball. Akai the Sneasel appeared in a kneeling position. Her arms crossed over her head.
"Shane! Battle set!" Random called out, tossing her own pokéball. A large, blue dragon pokémon came out. With red wings. The Salamence looked almost like a European dragon.
"ROAR!" Shane roared, stamping his feet.
"Stalker. On deck!" Aaron called out, tossing his own red and white pokéball. Out of it came the fossil pokémon, a Cradlily. It just stared at it's opponents with wide yellow eyes.
"Wow! Now there's some pokémon you don't see everyday. A Salamence and a Cradlily!" the referee called out. "anyways! Sneasel and Salamence going up against Cradlily and Magnezone! BEGIN!"
"Stalker. Shall we start with your speciality? Ingrain please."
The large ancient plant like pokémon dug it's roots into the ground, absorbing nutrients and minerals from it to restore whatever damage it would take.
"Magnezone, use Magnet Rise to increase your height to protect you from any Ground type attacks! Launch a Thunderbolt at Salamence!"
"Shane! Use Fly!"
Magnezone rose higher off the ground, protecting itself from the ground type attacks that would soon follow. Before it could launch the electricity that it had stored in it's body, Shane flew up high, circling the pokémon up in the sky.
"Thank you Random…Now! Akai! Full scale Blizzard on them!"
Akai rose up, slashing her claws through the air. She then put them in front of her body, where a blizzard came out, the snow and ice cold winds struck each of the pokémon. Stalker wiggled and wormed where it stood. Magnezone just beeped in response. Holding strong where it hovered.
Over all. Both their pokémon barely showed that they had been hit by the powerful ice attack.
"No way…" Zack's jaw hit the ground. "I thought that Cradlily would have been severely damaged…but look at it! It looks like it just came out of the pokécenter!"
"I guess what Melany said is true…they're stronger then them…"
"But, shouldn't Sam be stronger then Aaron?"
"Maybe…but look at what he's using. A Cradlily. A ancient pokémon…"
"But, I heard his strongest is a Leafeon. She's beaten most of his fire types. Including his starter and strongest."
"Stockpile please." Cradlily began swallowing air into it's mouth. "Amnesia." Cradlily forgot that it had the air in it's mouth, and swallowed it. Keeping the boost that it got from Stockpile. While increasing it's stats from Amnesia.
"Time for our strategy! Magnezone! Zap Cannon on Cradlily!"
Magnezone turned to face it's partner. Launching a yellow ball of electricity at it. Cradlily got hit by it, lightning crackled on it's body. But yet, it wasn't harmed by the attack.
"Shoot! Shane! Flamethrower on Cradlily! Forget about fly!" Random called out.
Shane the Salamence dove down, sending out a torrent of flames at the ancient pokémon. Cradlily took it, and just stood there. Blinking it's yellow eyes. Wondering what had just happened.
"Crud…Dark Pulse Akai!"
Akai raised her claws gathering a dark purple orb there that quickly shot out in a pulsar, striking Magnezone. Who just ignored the attack.
"For the love of Arceus…none of our attacks seem to be effecting them!"
"Energy Ball Stalker. Bring up the electricity into it and strike that Salamence." Aaron crossed his arms, and looked at the ancient pokémon.
Stalker gathered a green energy ball at where it's mouth should have been. The Energy Ball crackled with electricity that was brought up to it.
"Aim for…"
Stalker kept charging up for it's attack. The Energy Ball kept growing bigger.
"Sneasel."
Stalker turned it's head, aiming directly at Akai before launching the green orb infused with electricity.
"Urgh…Ready Metal Claw!" Zack called out.
Random frowned at her partner. Pondering whether she should intercept the Energy Ball, or not.
The Energy Ball came in closer. And closer…closer still.
Akai slashed through the green ball, wincing as the electricity struck her. But over all, the green orb was slashed through, thus missing Akai.
"Nice counter. Using a offensive move for a defensive purpose." Aaron complemented.
"Ok…we've gotta get one of them down…" Zack whispered. "you aim for Magnezone, hit it with everything you've got. Akai and I will hit Cradlily with everything we've got."
Random nodded. "Shane! Flamethrower and DragonBreath together on Magnezone!" she called out.
Shane flew over her. Letting lose a orange and purple flamethrower at the Magnezone. Hitting it with a Dragon type move, and a Fire type at the same time. Magnezone beeped out a grunt but still was strong.
"Akai! Hit Cradlily's roots with a Metal Claw! Then use jump onto it's head and use Icy Wind!"
Akai rushed in, claw gleaming metallically.
"Bullet Seed." "Sonicboom!" Aaron and Sara ordered at the same time.
Stalker let loose seeds like it was a machine gun. From Magnezone's magnet, it let loose a sonic vibration in the air. Akai attempted to dodge all the seeds that came at her, even used her claws to brush them aside. A few managed to hit her legs. She neared the Cradlily just as the Sonicboom came close. She leapt, the Sonicboom hitting the Cradlily instead of her. Akai landed right behind it, slashing at the roots that where there. Cradlily called out in pain. Akai leapt again, landing on it's head, breathing out a cold wind. Ice shards also came out. Each striking a place on it's face.
Cradlily's head hit the ground before it came back up. Akai had leapt back to the red side of the battlefield.
"Stalker. You aren't looking so well please use Stockpile again. Then Swallow it."
Cradlily opened it's mouth and swallowed more air. Some of it's injuries being cured in the process.
"Oh for the love of… Dark Pulse Akai! Launch directly at Cradlily!"
"Allow me to help." Zack nodded. "Shane! Launch a Dragon Claw!"
"Akai! Hop onto Shane's back then!"
Akai acknowledged the last order first. She hopped onto the European dragon's back as he took off in flight. His claw turned a dark purple. He flew faster.
His claw raked across the Cradlily. A dark purple pulsar came down and hit it's head. Stalker's head hit the ground. It's yellow eyes turned into swirls.
"One is down in this massive battle!" the referee declared. Aaron recalled the ancient pokémon, sighed and looked at Sara.
"All up to you partner."
"Right. Magnezone! Gyro Ball!"
Magnezone dropped down onto the ground and began spinning fast towards the two.
"Ack! Stop it with a Flamethrower Shane!"
As the Magnezone began spinning faster towards the two, Shane let loose a torrent of flames. The fire swarmed around Magnezone making a tornado.
"Akai! Stay away from that tornado of fire! Use Icy Wind to try and blow it away!" Zack called out in desperation.
Akai leapt off of Shane's back. Blowing a artic wind at the flaming tornado that hit Shane. He growled in response.
"Shane! Zen Headbutt!"
Shane's head glowed blue, as he head butted the magnet pokémon.
"Akai! Dark Pulse one last time! End this battle!"
Akai's clawed hands where raised up to her chest, gathering a dark pulsar at it. She sent it out like a laser, hitting the Magnezone. It hit the ground, but got back up. Hovering lazily in the air.
"Urgh…Magnezone! Use Zap Cannon!"
Once again, Magnezone gathered a yellow orb in front of it. It launched the yellow orb, coursing with electricity at Shane.
The orb hit the dragon, who let out a growl in return.
"Dark Pulse!/Flamethrower!" Zack and Random called out at the same time.
Akai brought her claws to her left side, gathering up the dark energy for the Dark Pulse there. Shane waited until the Sneasel was done charging. When Akai let loose with the dark pulsar, he let loose with the torrent of flames. Both attacks fused together, and scored a direct hit on the magnet pokémon.
When the flames and the pulsar disappeared. It was clear that Magnezone was down and out.
"Cradlily and Magnezone are unable to battle! Sneasel and Salamence win!" the referee called out. "The winners of this tournament are Zack and Random!"
"WE DID IT!" Zack yelled, hugging Random subconsciously.
"Yeah. We did."
"KISS KISS KISS!" the crowd called out.
Aaron and Sara where already gone.
"Uh…" Zack's face turned red.
"Wha!?" Random called out.
"I gu-guess we ha-have to…"
Random nodded. Both moved their faces closer, until their lips touched.
Zerez-Viola. Nosenseshipping. Now, a few notes about this chapter. Five of my OC's showed up. Sam and Sara if you didn't catch on are brother and sister. The two partner pairings where just there because they wanted the prize. Also. If you noticed, Zack mentioned that Aaron used only grass types, and his strongest was a Leafeon. Melany, Sam, and Sara also only train one certain type. Sam trains Fire types, Sara trains electric types, and Melany, Psychic types. So yeah, there's also one more member of their group.
Also, if anyone wants a second chapter of this, explaining what happened afterwards, and the prize and such, feel free to request it. As for me…I better get running. *Runs away*
KT: now…*Runs away…again*
Zack: GET THE HELL BACK HERE!
Random: I'll kill you!
Kaman: GET HIM!
KT: WIND! Get me out of here!
Wind: Why the hell should I help you, weakling?
KT: GAHHHH!
