This is all based of some role playing Gatomon2006 (on this site) and I did on AIM. She wrote the last role playing we did, not this is the same characters but years later with some evolved and new Pokemon! So if you're a bit confused on some stuff read the oneshot she wrote! And while you're at it read some of her other fics if you haven't already! Oh yes I making this two chapters since the role playing went on for sooooooo long!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sky was clear, with occasional Pidgeys and Swallows flying by. A group of four Pokemon trainers walked down the busy street. People, of course, ignored them despite the fact a Leafeon was walking among them. One girl, the owner of the Leafeon nicknamed Leafia, was named Chris she was like any typical tom boy. Her hand was in another's, a boy by the name of Luke. Walking next to them hand in hand was Ace and his girlfriend Melody. Luke is a childhood friend of Chris while Ace is a…well not exactly friend but more like trainee to her. He also helps her over come her huge fear of rock Pokemon. Walking miles before them was another tom boy-ish, but not as much as Chris, girl by the name of Arisusa. Floating next to her was her Pokemon Haunter. She was looking sideways at the small stores as she walked, her Haunter facing the same way. Suddenly she collided into someone.

"Oops…sorry I-" Chris said but stopped and said in a very excited voice. "Holy crap! Arisusa…I haven't seen you in years!"

Arisusa looked over to see Chris and gasped, "Chris!? Wow! You…you look different. And what's this!?" She bent down in front of Leafia, "A Leafeon! Cool!" She then stood back up and took notice of her hand holding Luke's. She grinned, "Oh…whose hand is that you're holding? Hehe."

Chris quickly removed her hand and blushed a bit, "Oh stop!" She then changed the subject as to why she appeared different. "Yeah, my brother convinced me to grow my hair long, and I've got a bit of a tan from lying out in the sun too long." She then petted her Leafeon, "This is Leafia she just evolved too."

Suddenly Ace cleared his throat. Chris looked sideways a bit and introduced the others. "This is Ace…and his girlfriend Melody. And of course, this is Luke…my…boyfriend."

Luke smiled at Arisusa and waved, "Hello nice to meet you again."

Arisusa just smiled and waved at everyone. Suddenly her Haunter floated up above her and then in front of her and looked curiously at the people before him. Arisusa chuckled nervously shoved Haunter down gently toward her face was in view. "Heh…this is Haunter." Now that he was introduced Haunter smiled and waved with his floating hand. Everyone waved back although had a look saying that the moment was rather awkward.

Chris then spoke, "Ah well I was expecting that Duskull of yours. How is he anyway?"

Arisusa then smiled and reached behind her to grab a Pokeball, "Well why don't you see for yourself!" She then threw the Pokeball into the air, a large Pokemon known as Dusclops appeared before them. Arisusa caught the Pokeball and put it back on her belt, then crossed her arms and smiled. Dusclops right away saw Chris and didn't panic since he remembered her and was used to her. But then his one red eye traveled over to the other three people and he instantly began to sweat and ran behind his trainer. Arisusa giggled, "Yeah he's still rather bashful and untrusting, but he's grown up a lot as you can see."

Chris grinned, "That's awesome! Well guess who else has grown…my Persia!"

Arisusa was petting her Dusclops on the head, but then she paused and looked at Chris a bit shocked. "What…but…but how is that…possible?"

Chris grinned and shrugged, "I don't know the professor said it's a new breed. Wait…you'll see." She then grabbed for a Pokeball and threw it into the air. Persia appeared like a normal Persian but he looked much different in many other ways too. He was about the size of a horse, first off, and the jewel on his head was now on his chest. He also had brown spikes on his paws and the tip of his tail.

Arisusa stared in confusion and disbelief for a while, unsure just what to say. Her Dusclops didn't care he looked way too different and scary so he hid behind her even more. Finally Arisusa spoke, and it came out as so: "Woah! He's huge!" Her Haunter then floated over to him and started to poke Persia. Persia didn't seem to mind and cocked his head to the side looking at Haunter curiously.

Melody then spoke to reply to Arisusa's …statement. "I know right! She scared me one time by summoning him out of no where!"

Chris then laughed. "Oh come on! It was funny!"

Melody shook her head and crossed her arms, but said nothing after that. Arisusa smiled and giggled, then looked down to see Haunter poking Persia.

"Hey stop that!" Arisusa yelled at him. Haunter looked up at her, giving her a look as if saying 'What? He doesn't seem to mind.' Arisusa then sighed, smacking her forehead and letting it fall down into her face. She then muttered, "Why do I always have to have the weird natured ghost Pokemon."

Chris laughed, "I feel your pain." She then looked around to see people staring and pointing at Persia. She sighed and grabbed his Pokeball, "People are staring again…return." Persia returned to his Pokeball without any complaints. Chris then put the Pokeball back in its place and the four stood there for a few seconds before Ace got an idea.

"Hey I know, since it seems both your Pokemon have done a lot of growing…why don't you battle? Just to see who's gotten better and just for fun."

Arisusa put her fist into her palm of her other hand and nodded, "That's a great idea!"

Chris grinned and nodded, "Ok! How many…all six?"

"Nah," Arisusa said, "Just like we did last time. So…do you want to send out your Pokemon first or me?"

"You," Chris said with a smile.

"Okay…" Arisusa said then looked over her shoulder. She looked down at Dusclops, who looked up at her. She made a fist and nodded with a big smile on her face. "I'm using Dusclops!"

Dusclops then anxiously and slowly walked in front of her. He paused and seemed to sigh, then gathered courage and stood tall.

Chris then decided to do the same as Arisusa and choose her Pokemon that was currently out of her ball. "Alright I'm using Leafia!"

"Oookay…" Arisusa said with a pause while thinking up a good move, then ordered it. "Use Shadow Ball!"

Dusclops then pushed his palms sideways but they didn't touch and a dark purple-like shadowy ball formed. Once it was a reasonable size, he pushed it out towards Leafia. It then hits Leafia and she stumbles back. She shakes her head and stands tall, appearing as if she wasn't hurt one bit.

"Hang in there girl…use Leaf Blade!" Chris ordered.

Leafia jumped off her feet she turned her head toward her leaf could form an 'X' on Dusclops. Dusclops wasn't even pushed back and barely flinched.

Arisusa sighed, seeing that her Dusclops appeared fine. Then she pulled out her fists and ordered a Confuse Ray. Dusclops obeyed. His eye began to glow then he turned toward Leafia. Leafia looked back at him, unsure what to do. Then a ray of light came from his eye and hit Leafia. Leafia right away began to stumble and was utterly confused.

Chris then slapped her forehead and muttered. "Great."

Arisusa giggled at Chris' reaction. "Yep, now we have an advantage! Ok Dusclops Shadow Punch"

Dusclops made a fist, punches the air and then a shadow like fist hits Leafia in a blink of an eye. Leafia instantly gets thrown back, but she stands back up only to be stumbling from still being confused.

Chris growled a bit. "Leafia snap out of it!"
Arisusa grinned, "Not going to work that easily. Now finish it with another Shadow Punch"

Dusclops formed another shadow punch, hitting Leafia and causing her to fall back again.

Luke then smirked. "Don't go thinking that Chris will give up that easily."

Chris didn't look at him, but was grinning and nodded in agreement. "I thought I told you," she said to Arisusa who looked at her confused, "I never give up!" She then suddenly changed her tone of voice to sound scared and hopeless. She playfully took her hands, cupped them together and set her head on them and lifted a leg then said, "Leafia! Please! Someone's trying to hurt me! You're my only hope!"

Leafia then had a less dazed and confused look, shook her head and finally snapped out of it.

Chris put her arms and leg down, switched her voice back to normal and grinned. "Good, now let's regain some energy. Giga Drain!"

A green light formed around Dusclops then it transferred over to Leafia. Dusclops suddenly appeared a little weary while Leafia looked much better than before.

Arisusa looked sad and brought her fist to her mouth. "Oh no…and he tried so hard!"

Dusclops himself looked upset, already feeling that he had failed to satisfy the trainer he loved.

Arisusa sighed, "It's always hard to get him to battle this well." She looked sad a bit longer but shook her head and put up a fist, "But that doesn't mean we can keep trying! Do another Shadow Punch!"

Dusclops looked confident again and sent out another shadow punch. This time Leafia managed to dodge it.

"Bullet seed!" Chris commanded.

Leafia nodded, gathered some seeds and started to spit them at Dusclops.

Arisusa was already shocked that Leafia could dodge Shadow Punch. It was such a fast moving move! She then shook her head, "Dodge bullet seed Dusclops!"

Dusclops dodged like any ghost would. He made himself see through so that the seed would fall through him.

Chris looked a bit shocked. Arisusa just smirked and put her hands on her hips.

"I may be able to touch him but that doesn't mean he's not like any other ghost too! Use Shadow Ball! And make it extra big and powerful!"

Dusclops stood his ground, summoned up a lot of power and formed a huge dark Shadow Ball, then released it. This time Leafia couldn't dodge, she was thrown back and when she stood she already began to pant.

Chris mumbled a "crap" then said, "Do you want to keep going Leafia?"

Leafia nodded her head frantically.

Chris smiled, "Ok try Giga Drain again!"

Dusclops was drained and didn't get the chance to attack after that from slight weakness. Chris then ordered another attack…Solar Beam.

Arisusa grinned, thinking now was the chance. While Leafia was absorbing sunlight, Dusclops could attack again.

"Dusclops summon another big Shadow Ball!"

Dusclops did just that, and right when Leafia was about to pull her head back to send out the Solar Beam Dusclops sent out his attack first. It cut her off and sent her back and landing in front of Chris. Chris knelt down with her Pokeball, ready to return her but Leafia started to stand up.

Chris wasn't all that surprised, but only a little, "Are you sure?"

Leafia nodded, panted a bit and walked closer to Dusclops. Chris ordered another Leaf Blade.

Arisusa sighed, "You really have stubborn Pokemon. Dusclops…dodge."

Dusclops easily dodged by becoming see through again.

Ace crossed his arms and replied to what Arisusa said, "Yeah they get it from the brat."

Chris turned her head quickly, glaring at him and made a fist and shook it in front of him a bit. Then she turned her head back to the battle and ignored him.

Arisusa giggled. "Ok now Dusclops use-" she paused and noticed Dusclops seemed a bit tired of using the same attacks. "Ok then…use Pursuit!"

Dusclops came toward Leafia with the dark attack. Chris had her dodge and use Leaf Blade. But suddenly Leafia shook her head.

Chris looked a little confused, then realized what it was. "Oh! Ok then use Last Resort!"

Leafia came toward Dusclops with the attack. Arisusa had never seen such an attack before and remained speechless toward Dusclops actually got hit. He was pushed back and it seemed to have taken a lot of energy from him. Arisusa kneeled down next to him, "Are you ok…you look scared."

Dusclops looked up at her but nodded his head. Arisusa hugged him then stood back up with fists made. "We won't give up either! Use Shadow Punch and don't miss either!"

Dusclops concentrated real hard, then sent another punch toward the still weakened Leafia. This time she couldn't manage anymore, she stayed on the ground. Chris smiled sadly, picked her up and patted her. "Good girl. You did well you deserve a nice rest." She then handed Leafia over to Luke. Luke smiled at her then whispered to her. "Don't worry you still have Persia and you know who." He winked at her. Chris grinned and nodded.

While this was happening Dusclops was standing there a bit surprised that he had actually won! Arisusa screamed happily, "Yes! This is your fifth win! Good job!" She then hugged him and Dusclops appeared happy. She then stood back up, took out her Pokeball and held it in front of Dusclops. "You rest now…" she returned him, smiled at the Pokeball and kissed it then put the Pokeball back. Then she reached for another and threw it out. "Go Sudowoodo!"

Sudowoodo appeared, shaking about happily.

Chris then reached for her next Pokeball and sent out her Persia.

Persia appeared and let out a growl.

Sudowoodo looked up slowly at Persia, a chill went down his spine and he looked over his shoulder at his trainer as if saying 'is this normal?'

Arisusa then shrugged. "It's a new type of Pokemon but you'll manage! Now High Jump Kick!"

Sudowoodo shook his head for confidence, then jumped up into the air quickly and came down with his foot first. Persia took the blow but it barely did any harm, so he shook off the bit that did bother him.

Chris smiled, "Alright Iron Tail!"

Persia's tail lit up and he ran over to Sudowoodo, whom was still shocked at his size and couldn't dodge even though Arisusa was ordering him too. He was hit with Persia's iron like tail. Arisusa ran over to him frantically. "Are you ok Sudowoodo!? You took that head on…answer me!" Sudowoodo slowly opened his eyes, looking up at her and smiled. Then he stood back up and nodded at her to reassure he was fine.

Arisusa sighed, "Good…alright let's give you a bit of an advantage. Use Sand Attack!"

Sudowoodo then looked at the ground before him and kicked some sand at Persia's face. Persia reared his head back with a yowl and tried to shake the sand off but it didn't help.

"Persia!" Chris yelled then sighed, "Not that big of a problem for I'll be your eyes! Ok he's right in front of you by nine feet. Use another Iron Tail!"

Persia shut his eyes tight so that pain wouldn't hurt as much, then ran toward Sudowoodo with a lit tail.

This time Sudowoodo paid more attention and dodged in the nick of time.

Arisusa smiled, "Good now Rock Throw!"

Sudowoodo nodded and picked up rocks and began to throw them harshly at Persia.

Suddenly Chris froze up. Ace noticed and let out a loud, "Crap!"

Sudowoodo continued to throw rocks and Persia took the hits, once the last one was thrown he looked over at Chris. She continued to stand there, not moving a muscle and stared forward wide eyed. Arisusa at the moment was busy looking at Sudowoodo happily, till she noticed it was suddenly quiet. She looked up to see Chris' aghast look. Suddenly her memory came to her when they first met, how she was so afraid of rock types and their moves. She didn't understand why she wasn't afraid of Sudowoodo himself, but the move he was using she could understand. She felt sick to her stomach and yelled frantically, "Stop it Sudowoodo!"

Sudowoodo then dropped the rocks he had and looked over at his trainer confused. She was standing there wide eyed with her hand over her mouth muttering the words "I'm sorry…I'm so sorry!"

Melody then ran in front of Chris yelling "Snap out of it!" She then slapped her hands in front of her face and Chris stopped staring. She breathed heavily then looked over at Melody and smiled. "Thanks."

Melody sighed, "Sheesh what are you going to do when we go to the next gym!?"

Chris ignored her and looked over at Persia, "I'm sorry Persia…are you ok?"

Persia nodded at her with a smile.

Chris brought her hand to her chest, took a deep breath then sighed. She looked up at Arisusa and smiled, "Everything's alright now."

Arisusa looked over to her sadly, "Are you sure?"

Chris nodded, "Yes…now let's get the battle going again!" She made a fist and held it out. "Use Hidden Power Persia! Sudowoodo is nine feet in front of you and three inches to the right!"

Persia nodded and sent out his attack. Sudowoodo was hit and fell over defeated. Arisusa sighed and smiled. "I should've known you wouldn't make it far with such a strong Pokemon. Return." She returned him and smiled at the Pokeball before putting it back on her belt.

This time it was Chris' turn to squeal and cheer. She hugged Persia by the neck and rubbed her head against him. "You did it! As if there was any doubt anyway! Ok rest time…return." She returned him and reached for her next Pokemon. She smirked at the Pokeball and then threw it high up into the air. "Come on out…Moltres!"

Moltres appeared before them stretching out his wings and letting out a call.

Arisusa barely appeared shocked and grinned. "Wow you got yourself a legendary too! Hm…" she said and reached for the farthest Pokeball on her belt, "Let's make this interesting. Alright come on out…Deoxys!"

Deoxys appeared in front of them, standing tall with his arms crossed. He looked up at Moltres and seemed to sneer at him. Moltres glared back at him.

Chris grinned and nodded as a response to Arisusa, "Yep. We went up to this volcano once and Persia evolved while fighting him. Then I caught him."

"Awesome!" Arisusa said then made fists again, "Alright let's get this started! Deoxys Attack mode!"

Deoxys changed form and automatically attacked without being ordered.

Moltres was hit but it barely damaged him.

"Good now ready…use Fire Spin!"

Moltres then spread his wings, spinned about and flew down towards Deoxys.

"Deoxys Defense form!" Arisusa ordered.

Deoxys changed form again and put a barrier around him, leaving him unharmed.

Arisusa grinned and laughed, "Ha! There is no way you can win this one! The only way Deoxys can loose if you're really, really fast and attack him up close or if you cause loud noises to cause his DNA to react and cause him to curl up in pain." She then paused. "But that's mean…don't do it."

Chris crossed her arms, "I wouldn't do that! I'm not that cruel! So we'll fight fair! Use Agility!"

Deoxys was a bit confused by Moltres' speed and went back into Normal form.

Arisusa smacked her forehead, "Don't be stupid Deoxys! Try going into your speed form!"

Deoxys nodded and changed form again. Yet he still could not see where Moltres went to. So he remained in that form just in case.

"This is my chance," Chris muttered. "Ok Sky Attack!"

Moltres attacked from high up and hit Deoxys. He fell back a bit but didn't fall on his back. He shook his head a bit before going into Attack mode and attacking without being ordered.

Arisusa leaned back and sighed," Well…he's angry." She then looked over at Haunter who was watching the whole thing and smiled at him, patting him on the head. Haunter smiled at her. She then turned her attention back to Deoxys but seemed to be speaking to the others, "I did manage to train him toward he can control his anger. But when he feels like he might be loosing just the tiniest bit he gets angry and goes out of control. Well he doesn't cause much harm to others but his opponent."

Chris gulped a bit, "Be careful Moltres. Uh…use Double Team!"

Moltres stood in midair and made copies of himself. They circled around Deoxys. This time Deoxys wasn't fooled. He went into Speed form and attacked all the doubles until he got to the original.

Arisusa sighed and put her hands behind her head, "Hm…guess I'll just…stand here and say nothing. He seems to be doing fine on his own."

Haunter looked up and nodded in agreement.

Moltres was then hurt and too got angry. His flames grew large causing the attack Heat Wave.

Chris smiled, "Yeah guess I'll be doing that too."

Deoxys then went into Defense form and deflected the attack back at Moltres. Moltres' own attack hit him but then he used Secret Power. Since he was in the air, the attack was Wing Attack. Deoxys made another barrier and once he was safe he changed into Attack form and sent another attack. Moltres flew out of the way to dodge the attack, then used Sky Attack. Deoxys easily dodged the move and floated up close to Moltres to send out another attack. It damaged Moltres well this time. It was painful so it caused a loud screech from Moltres. Finally that loud screech caused people to gather around and watch the battle in amazement. Sure they saw the Pokemon attacking and some just stood and watched, but now they wanted to be up closer.

Melody began to point out that Moltres was screwed till she noticed the people pushing past her and she let out a "hey watch it!"

Deoxys paused for a moment and looked down at the people. He appeared a bit nervous but tried to ignore them and turn his attention back at the fire bird. He sent out another attack.

Arisusa looked over her shoulder and appeared very worried. She hopped they wouldn't get loud or else it would cause Deoxys' DNA to react. Every time she had to worry like this she cursed the group, that she called the Team Rocket Wannabes, of bandits and evil scientists for putting that DNA into her Deoxys' system. But despite Arisusa's wishes, some people began to cheer loudly as Deoxys' attack hit Moltres. Moltres shook his head and used Fire Spin on Deoxys again. People were still cheering. Deoxys then dodged the move then paused and looked over at the cheering people. Suddenly he changed back into Normal form and floated down onto the ground. He grasped his head and let out an alien like groan. Arisusa right away noticed what was going on and gasped. "No! Please everyone don't cheer!" But no on heard her over all the cheering. Soon more people came by and Arisusa was pushed back. The same happened to Chris.

"Hey…w-wait a min-what the…stop it!" Chris said as she was pushed back and looked over to see Arisusa covering her face in fear for her Deoxys' sake. She then remembered Arisusa telling her about the DNA in Deoxys' system that can cause him pain. She squeezed her eyes shut and yelled out as loud as she could, "EVERYBODY SHUT UP!!!" People began to hush down and Deoxys stopped. He floated back up to Moltres but already appeared weary. He flinched a few times. He then changed to Attack form and attacked Moltres. The attack hit Moltres head on that he began to flail a bit in the sky. Deoxys then floated back to the ground as the pain came back. He grasped his head again. Moltres suddenly couldn't stay in the air any longer and fell to the ground. Since Moltres and Deoxys were both on the ground, in pain and unable to battle…this was declared a tie.

Chris was now annoyed and shoved people over, causing them to finally understand and leave. She kneeled in front of Moltres and petted his feathers. "You did good buddy." She was smiling down at him and Moltres looked up at her tired.

Arisusa saw some of the people leaving and wiped some tears from her eyes, then ran over to Deoxys and knelt down next to him.

"Are…are you ok?" She put her hand on his shoulder. Deoxys looked over at her and nodded his head softly.

Arisusa then smiled, "Good. Rest now. I'll make you all better." She returned Deoxys and put the Pokeball against her cheek softly. At that time Chris returned her Moltres and put it back on her belt.

"Is he ok?"

"Yeah…he's fine for now," Arisusa answered and put the Pokeball back onto her belt. She sighed and smiled sheepishly at Chris. "Well we tied again…heh." Chris only nodded. Then she looked over Arisusa's shoulder to see Haunter playing pranks on some of the people who were cheering. She then laughed. "Seems like Haunter is avenging Deoxys."

Arisusa looked over her shoulder and yelped, "Stop it Haunter!" Haunter obeyed and came back but smiled at her like usual. Arisusa sighed, "I just can't stay mad at you." She pat him on the head. In response Haunter gave her a playful lick. "Gee thanks," Arisusa said, wiping some if it off her cheek.

Chris laughed then sighed, "Wellll it was a good battle. Oh! Let's go back to the park!"

Arisusa nodded, "Yes great idea! Come Haunter!" She motioned him to follow as they began to head toward the park.
