Progenitor Samurai Chapter 1
Gym Leader Finals
I don't own Pokémon unless Nintendo accepts my offer. It seems fair. Pokémon for all the gum under my desk in math class. Also this fic takes place in a more eastern setting than most other fics so keep that in mind.
A chilling breeze could be felt through the city of Ecruteak. The mercury read negative twenty degrees Fahrenheit. No normal creature, human or Pokémon alike would be coming to the city on such a day. But today was not a normal day for today was the finals of the gym leader tournament between the gym leaders Blackthorn City and Cerulean City and every single person in both Johto and Kanto was in the Ecruteak that day, even the ones who didn't want to be found. But for Misty Waterflower, today was the most important day of her life.
"Misty Kasumi Waterflower, will you marry me?" as the man got on one knee holding a beautiful diamond ring.
This was a dream come true. The man she loved just proposed to her after four years of dating.
"Yes Cole Nakumora, I will!" responded the ecstatic red-haired woman kissing him with her tongue.
Meanwhile two men were hiding atop of a pagoda waiting for the moment when the tournament starts. One had raven colored hair with a kimono that matched his short hair. The other had brown spiky hair and kimono as white as the snow. Normally such formal clothing would stand out in a public place but for a city so rooted in tradition, it was as normal as seeing clouds.
"Why are we here Flare?" inquired the brown haired man.
"For the last time Probe, we have to investigate the gym leaders since according to our spies, at least one has an indirect connection to Team Rocket!" said the black haired man getting more and more frustrated by the moment.
"I know that Flare but why did you specifically request us to be put on this mission?" said Probe already knowing the answer.
"Okay you caught me Probe," said Flare in an exasperated tone. "I wanted to see Misty win in this final match."
"You always had a crush on her," said Probe flicking his brown hair
"Yeah, I guess I do. It's been four years. I wonder if she's forgotten about me."
"Trust me, she would never forget you," responded Probe in a relaxing tone.
After nodding his head, Flare checked his supply of weapons and both he and Probe jumped off the pagoda. They than ran in the direction of the arena.
Every seat in the arena was filled to capacity and still people flowed into the stadium for the final match. When the two beautiful combatants stepped onto the stage the crowd erupted in cheers of "Clair" and "Misty." And both gym leaders were beautiful. Clair's blue hair was in her trademark three loops and she wore a crimson jumpsuit that contrasted perfectly with her hair. But if Clair was beautiful, than Misty was a knockout. She wore beautiful pink kimono with bubbles and she had her fiery red hair down to the middle of her back. What stood out the most however, was the diamond ring on her left hand.
"The rules are simple, a three on three Pokémon with no substitutions. Are both leaders ready?" the referee asked and both nodded their heads
"Then begin," he said raising his flags.
"Starmie, I choose you," said Misty in an energetic voice throwing a Pokéball. Out of it came a purple star shaped Pokémon with a jewel in the center.
Clair seemed unaffected by Misty's energy and simply threw out a Pokéball calling forth a purple shark like creature.
"Misty, meet my newest friend, Garchomp. My friend Cynthia sent him over from Sinnoh. Now my friend, use Dragon Rush," said Clair with immense confidence as the land shark, jumped up, glowed an intense blue, and started to charge into the sea star Pokémon.
"Starmie use Ice Beam on Garchomp," Misty said as the sea star unleashed a white beam toward the charging land shark. The shark however moved at such high speed that it broke through the beam and struck Starmie's gem. The gem cracked open as the Pokémon toppled over.
"Starmie is unable to battle. Victory goes to Clair," said the referee raising his green flag.
"Well try this on for size, Misty said after calling Starmie back. "Go Gyarados!"
"Gyarr" said the sea dragon.
"Garchomp versus Gyarados, begin" said the referee.
"Wow, a giant blue snake, I'm so scarred," said Clair "Garchomp use Stone Edge."
The land shark then stomped its foot on the floor causing a ton of stones to fly towards the sea serpent Pokémon.
"Gyarados, dodge it," Misty cried out but it was to late as each stone pierced Gyarados's skin causing massive bleeding. The serpent then fell from the sky onto the floor.
"Gyarados is unable to battle. Victory goes to Clair," said the referee raising his green flag.
"It's time to use my secret weapon," said Misty with a wide grin as she recalled Gyarados. "Go Suicune!"
Out of her Pokéball came out a beautiful, blue, dog like beast.
"Coon" said the majestic dog like creature.
"OH CRAP!" yelled Clair.
"I'd like to thank my fiancé Cole Nakumora for capturing this great beast," said Misty with such energy.
Fiancé! The word hit Flare harder than any bullet. Of course she has a fiancé, he thought to himself. She hasn't seen you in four years.
"Flare," said Probe breaking Flare from his trance. "Didn't our spies say Suicune was stolen by Team Rocket?"
"Yeah," replied Flame. "Oh my god, Misty could be associating with TR and have no clue about it. She could be killed!"
"Have you ever considered the possibility that she's a Rocket?" said Probe.
"Come on, it's Misty!" relied Flare
"Ah, touché," replied Probe. "My personal theory on the whole thing…" but was interrupted by the voice of the referee.
"Suicune versus Garchomp, begin."
"Garchomp, it may be strong but don't give up, use Dragon Claw," Clair said as the land shark charged straight for the beast with its wings glowing a bright white.
"Perfect," said Misty grinning. "Suicune, use Ice Beam!"
The majestic blue creature unleashed a blue beam directly at the speeding dragon freezing its wings, and causing it to collapse.
"Garchomp is unable to battle. Victory goes to Misty," the referee said as he raised his red flag.
"Garchomp, return," said Clair. "Well Misty, you still have to go through my other two Pokémon. I hope you're ready. Go Salamence!" she said while the blue dragon appeared from its Pokéball. "I got this little friend from a trip to Hoenn."
"Suicune versus Salamence, begin," said the referee.
"Salamence, Draco Meteor!" said Clair with enough force to shatter brick.
The dragon then summoned countless meteors out of nowhere aiming them right at Suicune.
"Suicune, counter the meteors with your Blizzard attack," Misty said as the legendary beast unleashed a barrage of snow at the meteors freezing them in their place.
"Now before they fall, use Hydro Pump to knock them into Salamence," said Misty as Suicune jumped up into the air and forced each meteor into the dragon causing it to be knocked out.
"Salamence is unable to battle, the winner is Misty," said the referee raising the red flag.
"Wellll I stillll haveeee one dragon lefttttt," said Clair stuttering as she sent out her Dragonite.
"Dragonite versus Suicune, begin," said the referee.
"Suicune, just use Ice Beam," said Misty seemingly disinterested in the battle.
Suicune shot a beam of ice at the orange dragon hitting it right in the chest, KOing it.
"Dragonite is unable to battle," said the referee who raised his red flag for the last time. "The winner of the gym leaders' tournament is Misty Waterflower of Cerulean City."
"Sweetie, I knew you could do it," said a man who ran out to the arena and kissed Misty hard on the lips. He then turned around and then Flare knew who the demon was. His eyes were the eyes of the demon he hated. He felt his own muscles tighten and his hands flew uncontrollably to his Katana and Wakisahi blades holsters on his back. For the demon was human only in flesh. The demon that destroyed his life, the demon that killed his father, Futon, the Wind Hunter! He was about to jump onto the floor, ready to stab Futon when Probe held him back with telepathy.
"What are you doing Probe?! This might be our only chance to kill Futon," said Flare who was furious at Probe.
"They'll be other chances. But we both know how powerful he is. If we don't go in with at least five people, we'll die."
"Butttt…." said Flare but was cut off by Probe.
"I know you're furious. Remember he killed my dad too. I'm just saying that our best bet is for you to get Misty away from him."
"You're right Probe. I'm sorry I lost control. I'm going to talk to Misty after the victory party is over."
As Misty danced with Cole during the victory party (A/N remember that she doesn't know that Cole's Futon) she hadn't has this great day all of her twenty-two years of life. She was just crowned the best gym leader in the entire world and became engaged to Cole who helped her through the hardest time of her life. That time was four years ago when Ash committed suicide. She was going to tell him how she felt after he became Pokémon master but, they started fighting. Misty lost control and told Ash she hated him. Later Misty found a suicide note. She felt so guilty that she was going to kill herself but, Cole stopped her. She then fell in love with him and now they were engaged.
"Ugh, I'm tired Mist, I'm heading back to my house," her lovely fiancé said.
"Okay sweetie, see you later," Misty replied in a sweet, caring tone only she could replicate.
Misty hung around for awhile before heading back to her car. It was then that she noticed a man in an ebon kimono was stealing parts from her car.
"Hey get back here!" she shouted as she chased after him.
She chased him into a dark alley and had him backed into a corner.
"Okay mister, give me back my car parts," she said to the man. The man responded by jumping into the sky and landing behind her. He then took out a katana and wakizashi. Misty then looked at the face of her attacker and she saw a sight she never thought she would ever see again in life.
"Ash."
