Chapter 1: An Old Rivalry
"Well, let's see how weaker you've gotten!" Hoan said as he stood on the east side of the practice stadium.
………………………………...
Hoan Eska-Tor

Hair: Blue, Spiky
Eyes: Brown
Skin: (1-5 Light to Dark) 2

"Yeah yeah…--'…" Dedd sighed and waited at the opposite end.
………………………………...
Dedd Eska-Tor
Age: 19
Hair: Yellow, Spiky
Eyes: Honey
Skin: 1
Height: 5'7"
………………………………...
"Ok guys! Two and two! Go!" Mayi screamed from the center and ran back out of the battling area towards the bleachers.
………………………………...
Mayi Eska-Versuke
Age: 18
Hair: Navy Blue, Long Straight
Eyes: Honey
Skin: 3
Height: 5'5"
………………………………...
"Ok, ready? Espeon show your best!" Hoan sent out a shiny green Espeon.
"Go…" Dedd's assurance of victory led him to silence as he sent out a Cubone.
"Nice, psychic against ground, regular battle!" Maikel said to Karo who was sitting right next to him on the bleachers watching the battle carefully.

Maikel Eska-Saint

Age: 17

"It's the older brother fighting the younger one, do they ever get tired?" Said Aeris who was standing up right behind Karo and Maikel.

Aeris Eska-Saint
Age: 19
Hair: Pink, Short Wavy
Eyes: Green
Skin: 1
Height: 5'3"

"Espeon! Confusion!" Hoan screamed from his podium. Espeon leaned down in a fighting stance while the orb on his forehead began to glow.
"Cubone, Bonemerang." Dedd calmly commanded his Pokemon.
As Espeon's eyes glowed purple, Cubone jumped and swung his bone like a boomerang. The bone rotated fast and traveled through the air at high speed. The bone made a curve as if it were to attack the bleachers on the side of the stadium, but instead it swung back to hit Espeon with great force. Espeon's attack failed to launch and this inexperienced Pokemon received the attack and was hit badly. The bone returned to Cubone's little arm as he nodded looking at Dedd.
"Yes, Hoan doesn't know that Confusion needs extreme focus on the opponent and if that bone is traveling randomly through the air, he would obviously get distracted. Plus, his Espeon is not experienced enough to use Confusion, I mean I've never seen him doing it…" Maikel explained as the natural-born narrator of life.
"Oh my God! I think he tried to use it to scare Dedd! Haha!" Aeris laughed as she analyzed the situation.
"C'mon guys give him a chance, I mean we all know he's going to loose anyways." Karo took Hoan's side.
"Guys," Mayi said as she walked up the bleachers to sit with them, "I don't know where this is going, but it doesn't seem like Hoan has improved just a bit."
"Ok! Dedd! This is just the beginning! Espeon run around Cubone!" Hoan smiled while sweating off his nervousness.
"Ok, let's make it the end then…Cubone, Focus Energy!" Dedd kept his composure.
Espeon began running around Cubone, intending to confuse him. While he was running in circles, Cubone grabbed his bone with both his little arms and began pumping his muscles. The strength was so amazing that the grass around him began pulling out of the ground and a ring of strength was visible from far away.
"Look at that, beautiful Focus Energy! Haven't seen one in a while." Maikel commented.
"I know, looks really cool…And sad at the same time! Haha!" Mayi laughed at her joke.
"You know, that Cubone of Dedd's is pretty strong, I don't get why hasn't it evolved yet." Aeris wondered as she was astonished by Cubone's strength.
"Guys, watch!" Karo called for their attention.
"Espeon! Quick-Attack!" Hoan commanded Espeon with high hopes.
"Cubone…Finish this!" Dedd's excitement began to show when he seemed to be closer to victory.
Espeon moved in a flash pushing dust from the ground with his speed. The hit was heard in great echoes and a huge pounding sound. A dust cloud roamed around the two Pokemon, and no one could really tell what had just happened.
"Told you…" Dedd smiled as the Espeon was thrown on the ground with a huge bruise around his orb. Cubone had slammed him against the ground with his bone completely knocking him out.
"Espeon! No!" Hoan ran towards the Pokemon and returned him to his Pokeball. "Ok! That's it! Eevee go!" He pointed his Pokeball at Cubone.
"No, I'm tired! I'll see you guys in the dorm." Dedd returned Cubone to his Pokeball and walked out of the stadium.
"What!?" Hoan sighed and threw his arms and head down.
"Ok let's go cheer him up." Aeris told the rest of the group as they all stood up and went down the stairs.
"I lost…" Hoan mumbled through his lips.
"Not a surprise! Hah!" Maikel giggled padding him on the back. They were all there at the center of the stadium, standing around Hoan.
"Shut up!" Aeris bumped Maikel on the head, "It's alright! You know you always win other battles! I mean, c'mon you have Espeon! The only reason your Eevee evolved was because of its strength and your great bond!"
"Well technically, Eevees evolve to Espeon or Umbreon with no need of strength, just happiness…" Maikel interrupted.
"Maikel!" Aeris screamed once more, "Don't listen to him Hoan, you're a great team member!"
"I mean we can't help it, we're all a team cuz we're family…" Maikel was finally punched in the face by Mayi.
"Sorry, couldn't help it." Mayi said quietly.
"…Hmph…" Karo held his laughter.
"Bastard." Maikel murmured rubbing his pounding face.
"Let's go grab something to eat…stomach growling… My stomach…" Karo said with his hand on his belly.
"Are you sure that growl was hunger?" Maikel said sarcastically.
"Shut up, yes it was." Karo rolled his eyes.
"I'm hungry too, Aeris let's go to the Sandwich Café, I'm craving one of their sandwiches." Mayi agreed with Karo.
"Let's go…" Hoan said as he began walking towards the exit of the stadium.
"Aw, Hoan, lunch it's on us!" Aeris said while everyone's eyes opened wide in confusion.
"Wha…?" Mayi was about to complain but Aeris covered her mouth.
The five young trainers were walking down downtown Celadon with empty stomachs ready to munch on some sandwiches. They had been together since they were born, and together they fight as the Rookie Yellow Team of the Celadon Route Academy, where they train to be the best team of all Kanto. After they graduate they'll compete in Tournament Gyms to earn badges and succeed to the Pokemon League of Kanto. Their goal is to be recognized as the Six Eskas from Celadon.
"We're here…breathing hard…Uff finally." Mayi's breath sounded exhausted. They all sat on an outside table.
"I want a double ham, extra cheese, triple salami, extra large soda combo!" Karo's mouth drooled as he looked at the menu that was already placed on the table.
"God, you already look fat…" Mayi pointed out.
"No I'm not fat! I'm only five pounds overweight!"
"Whatever…Ok what am I getting?" Mayi ignored him.
The five of them were drooling over the menu trying to decide. When the waiter was approaching the table Maikel recognized a group of six trainers sitting four to five tables away from them. Not just six trainers, but the Rookie Blue Team. These guys were on the same year as they were, basically second year, but they had gone on an extra training mission that the school had granted them during the summer, and they had rapidly advanced in levels.
"Oh crap, I gotta crap!" Karo ran to the bathroom extremely worried after almost tripping over the waiter, "Sorry! Sorry! Hehe!" He went inside the restaurant realizing their rival team was sitting on the table close to the bathroom.
"He always has to embarrass us…!" Mayi put her head down.
"Hey guys, don't look but, I'm feeling a little too paranoid with Blue Team sitting on that table." Maikel whispered.
"What?" Hoan turned around to see the rival team sitting not too far away, "Oh sh&!" He quickly turned back.
"S# man! Told you not to look." Maikel whispered hard.
"Sorry, I mean it's natural!" Hoan argued.
"Guys, Dedd is not here, let's act normal, plus they're inside…No provoking." Aeris controlled the atmosphere.
While they were talking at the table, Karo was still walking fast to the bathroom which was right across from Blue Team's table, "[Great…[" Karo said to himself.
"Hey boy!" A guy, dressed in a red cap and a flat topped hat, shouted from the table.
Karo tried not to turn around but as instinct he did, "Yeah?"
"I didn't know you would get hard on top! HAHA!" The whole table began to laugh at Karo's hair which appeared to have a chunk standing up vertically.
"Oh…" Karo reached his head with his hand and flattened his hair, "Well your mom was too hot this morning…Couldn't help it!" He smiled and ran in the bathroom.
"What the F#&! B&! Come back here!" The guy stood up slightly pushing the table making the glasses clinch a little.
"[Oh crap, oh crap! What did I just say!?[" Karo locked the door and leaned on it scared to death about the consequences of his smart mouth, "[Crap, crap, crap, crap![" The door began beating aggressively as the guy raged.
"Come on out Karo! Before I break this door!"

Maikel kept staring at the conflict since he was the only one looking through the glass windows. "Guys I think something is going on in there…" He said.
"Argh! What did he say now!" Mayi punched the table.
"Hoan go check on him." Aeris seemed worried.
"Why me!? Ugh!" Hoan stood up and started walking.
"Something feels cold…" Karo said as he began sticking to the door because of some mysterious ice taking over it, "[No…No, no, no, no, no, no, no![" The entire door froze together with Karo's back.
"Snorunt! Come back!" Dominique's voice was heard through the wall.
"[SNORUNT!? He froze the door! Mathersucker[I gotta crap, I gotta crap! Oh my goodness…The toilet is so far away![ " Karo freaked out when the toilet was five feet away from his feet. He began stretching his leg to try and hook it in the toilet to push himself off the frozen door.
"PRRP…KRRP..PRUMP!" Karo blushed as he began smelling his own gases, "It's starting to come out!…HELP!…Oh my Pokemon!" To his unfortunate surprise, he had left his bag on the table.
"Well guys, where is Karo?" Hoan asked the rivals' table.
"Hah, well look who it is…Oh MY GOD! It's the Eeveesitter!" One of the girls sitting there laughed at Hoan.

"Shut-up bubble face! I don't have Eevees anymore[Just one…[" Hoan screamed.
"Well thank God! Cuz the semester is about to start you know! Practice Year is over! Now you're on your own!" She laughed again.
"[She doesn't care! B#&$![ Listen you guys! Where did you put my cousin!" Hoan yelled.
"Chill boy, he went to the bathroom…" Katy replied.

Hoan began walking towards the bathroom and one more voice popped up, "Hey! Say hi to Mayi for me! Like this…" He began smooching his lips and flirtingly waving his hands.
………………………………...
Drake Foyer
Age: 19
Hair: Purple, Spiked (only on each side)
Eyes: Red

Height: 6'1"
………………………………...
"[F#&$ you![" Hoan rolled his eyes.
"Little punk! He can't take us that's why he walks away…" James said out loud.
"Yeah look at him! Haha!" Followed Dominique.
"What did you guys say again?" Maikel appeared from behind James.
"Must be the Jackie-Chan weirdo…" James said keeping his look away from Maikel.
"Yup, it is." Katy confirmed.
Maikel began to sweat as he tried to confront the whole table, and saw the girl of his dreams sitting there quietly. That was Gracelenn.

Maikel grabbed James by the collar of his shirt making James turn rapidly and throwing him to the floor locking him up in a wrestling move.
"Don't you dare touch me, again!" James freed him and went back up surprisingly meeting with Aeris' face. "Oh!"
"Oh?" Aeris mocked him.
"Well hello Aeris, what brings you here?" James asks.
"What brings US here?" Mayi stood right behind Aeris.
"You guys have big, big balls…Dedd is not here, and you pretend to beat us six? With Four and a half men? Haha!" James laughed together with his teammates.
"James, Dominique, Drake, and the three bubble b$, you all should piss off and leave us the hell alone!" Aeris raised her voice.
"Hell yeah…" Mayi hid behind Aeris while giving Maikel a hand to get up.
Katy and Jennifer stood up, "Who are you calling a bubble b! B#$!" Katy began cursing.
"Did she?" Jennifer asked Katy.
"Shut up!" Katy hushed her.
"You know what, this is no place to settle things, Mayi, Maikel let's go! We'll see you at the practice stadium tonight, so be ready a$$&s!" Aeris pointed at all of them threateningly.
"Yeah yeah! Go that's what you always do! Peacemaker my $$!" James said annoyingly.
"Ok Karo! I need you to unlock the door so I can try breaking it! Do you hear me? Wow what's that smell…" Hoan screamed through the door.
"Shut up and just let me out! It's unlocked already!"
"Ok here I go! Eevee, Espeon, go!"
"What are they going to do!?" Karo desperately screams while Eevee and Espeon were just smelling the door from the outside.
"Shut up! I'm helping you! Eevee, Espeon…What is it?" Hoan asked his Pokemon when he saw the disgusted grimace on their faces.
"I told you they wouldn't do anything…" Karo mumbled.
"Eevee, Espeon, Quick-Attack! Break the door!"
"Eevee!! Speon!!" Both Pokemon moved in a flash and broke the door in half, pushing Karo strongly against the toilet. Karo ended up with a hand in the toilet water.
"You did it! Good job guys!" Hoan petted his Pokemon.
"EWWW!! YUK! Oh my dear Jesus!!" Karo took his hand out of the water and, "Prrp!"
"Aw, gross!" Hoan covered his nose.
"Can we please go…I haven't gone yet…" Karo's sweated face, shirt, and pants showed a horrible constipated face with a major embarrassed self.
"Sure…Hmph…" Hoan held his laugh.
"Sir! Sir!" A waitress came to the restroom area to check what was going on.
"[Oh no![ Karo! Let's go! Eevee, Espeon! Come back!" Hoan grabbed Karo by his shirt and returned his Pokemon.
"Ugh! Ouch!" Karo stood up and ran out of the bathroom with Hoan.
"Wait! Guys! Ah!" The waitress was pushed to the side as Hoan and Karo swiftly ran past her, "Ugh!"
Aeris was walking out of the restaurant with Mayi and Maikel, when suddenly Hoan and Karo push the three of them to run with them.
"Ouch! AH! What the hell?" Mayi screams as she trips over a lady's chair and falls on her face, "Karo, Hoan! I'm gonna kill you guys!" she got back up in seconds and started running.
"Hoan, Karo! Stop running, ugh so immature!" Aeris closed her eyes and sighed.
"Security! Get them!" The waitress called the guards.
"Nevermind…Run!" Aeris pushed Maikel and they all ran out hurryingly.
Three motorcycles drew their flashing blue lights in and accelerated, "Stop right there!" The of one of the officers echoed through.
"We really need to stop!" Mayi screamed.
"No! Keep running!" Hoan ran even faster.
"Argh!" Karo tumbled over a shopping cart on the sidewalk.
"Karo! Get your $$ back up!" Aeris yelled and ran to help him up, but to their bad luck, they were caught.
"Ok, I'm stopping." Mayi basically turned herself in.
"Crap, Maikel stop!" Hoan and Maikel stopped. That was it.
"Well, they are all from the Rookie Yellow Team of the Celadon Route Academy…" Said an officer as he read through their I.D. Cards in his office, "Stupid teenagers, let them go, but next time they'll be retained for a month!"
"Yes, sir!" The woman let them out after an hour of investigation.
"…Five Stomachs Growling…" The five of them were dropped off in front of their dorm, still hungry, and all quite.
"So…" Karo attempted to point out his hunger.
"Shut up! We know it already!" Mayi quickly predicted her brother's affection for food.
"Well guys…We should just take it easy and walk to that fast-food around the corner…" Hoan suggested, while they were all sitting on some benches at the entrance of their dorm.
"Whatever, I'm just hungry let's go…" Mayi concluded.
"Wait…Crap…" Aeris almost forgot, "The battle…"
"Holy shaitzer!" Maikel rubbed his face and randomly jumped.
"Maikel…Pss! Not necessary!" Karo whispered loudly to Maikel.
At the setting of the sun the day began to end, the darkness began and their stomachs were satisfied.
"Wow! That was a great burger!" Karo leaned back on the booth they were sitting in, "Burp!"
"Ugh! Gross!" Mayi looked away.
"It was good." Hoan seemed happy.
"Guys, let's not forget…We have some unfinished business…Let's go get Dedd." Aeris reminded them.
"Do we really have to…?" Karo seemed tired.
"Hell yeah! We're not gonna look like stupid $$es avoiding them!" Maikel remarked.
"You love smart mouthing, but you hate fighting…Idiot…" Mayi was angered by Karo.
They all walked back to the dorm, and at the door, "Ok who'll tell him…" Aeris asked.
"You know what I'll go…So tired of this crap." Mayi went in the room.
"Dedd!" She walked toward his bed, "Sleeping…How unusual of him…WAKE UP!" She smacked him on the head.
"Wha! What? Who! When!?" Dedd sat up in a second, "What is it! Ugh! I'm sleeping! Go away!" Dedd pushed his pillow covering his face.
"We have a match at the practice stadium…"
"Was it Karo, or Hoan? Who was it?? I'm gonna beat the S#&t out of those two immature brats!"
"Well, you can do that later, but we really need to go."
"I'm not going, you guys try to do a five on six or something…"
"Pikachu! Go!" Mayi called out her Pokemon, "Bolt Tackle!"
"I swear you get that rat close to me and…! ARGH!" Dedd was electrocuted by Mayi's Pikachu, "You little b&! Argh! Fine, damn!"
"Ugh, finally, Pikachu let's get going." She walked out with her Pikachu.
"Stupid$$es can't control themselves…! Ugh!" Dedd put on a blue jacket around a black shirt, and put on a pair of blue jeans.
Mayi went outside with her Pikachu and smiled to the rest of the team, "Got him up!"
"Pika! -!"
"Was he sleeping?" Hoan asked with an annoyed tone.
"Don't complain! It's all you and Karo's fault!"
"Pika Pika oO?"
"What? Me? What did I do?"
"You sent out your stupid Pokemon! In a restaurant!! And devastated a door! What else did you do?" Mayi raised her voice.
"Ugh…Yeah, yeah…" Hoan mumbled without excuses and began walking.
They all finally left after waiting on Dedd to get ready. When they all got to the stadium, Blue Team was already waiting at the east side of the stadium at their podium. The bleachers were completely empty, and the night was chilly.
"Great, they were waiting…" Dedd whispered, "Okay, listen to my plan," he began as the rivals were all looking at each other planning out their strategy, "I'll go against James, as usual, I'll try to take him down, weak-strong-weak-strong is the plan for this battle, got it?"
"Yeah, I guess I'll go first…" Hoan murmured in a down tone.
"I go second…" Karo followed.
"Okay, and so on, you guys ready?" Dedd tried to cheer up the team's strength, "Let's do this."
"Well is the Wimp Team ready?" James shouted from the other side of the stadium.
"Yes pu$$ face!" Dedd responded.
"Let's finish this quick, I'm getting sleepy! I'll let you flip the coin! We go for tails!"
"Sure," Dedd flipped a coin and how their day went, no luck was expected, "Tails it is! Hoan will be the first one up!" They all ran to the waiting bench leaving Hoan at the podium.
"Jen! He's yours!" James and the others went to their waiting bench.
"Oh my god! I have been waiting to fight you for SO long!" Jennifer began her bubble talk, "Second coin! I'll leave it to you! I go for heads!"
"[Damn it…[ Flip… Heads it is…" Hoan had to pick first since he lost, "Espeon come on out!"
"Great, it doesn't really matter since like…Mine are both better! Oh my god! Sooo exCIting! Gligar show him who you really are!"
