Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Pokémon. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own Pokémon, Nintendo, Game Freak and a few others do.
(Shalour City)
Riolu did a handstand on the pole it was atop before something cut it off, below was Weavile.
The Sharp Claw Pokémon snuffed and tapped the pole with its claws.
Riolu flipped off the poke before the sound of skates cut them off, a flap of wings made them turn and look.
Pidgeotto landed on the railing as Mienshao leapt off her back.
"There you are, you know it isn't easy running around in these things if you go running off!" A boy said before another Pokémon: Toxicroak crossed its arms.
The boy was known as Ben, he tried to skate closer before he nearly tripped.
Toxicroak caught his owner as the boy chuckled.
"Thanks Croaker." Ben said as the Pokémon nodded, he drew two poke balls from his belt and bag.
"Ok, time to head back." Ben stated before Toxicroak and Weaville vanished into the Poke balls before he put them away before he also caused Mienshao to return.
Riolu turned and sprinted away as Pidgeotto took flight, Ben turned and rushed off, his skates kicking up sparks as he went down the street.
"Man, can Lu run…" Ben muttered, he had no desire to be an elite trainer, not till he got older. He did however, have an entire team of nearly all Fighting Pokémon. He had 12, in fact, something that was mainly allowed against elite trainers and Gym trainers as they had been allowed to get more Pokémon.
"And this marks the seventh raid the criminals belonging to the now well known 'Team Skull' Gang has conducted. They have been considered dangerous and have been recently targeting more areas like skate parks, Poke Marts, and other buildings." A reporter said as Ben stopped.
He frowned as Pidgeotto landed on his shoulder and Riolu rushed over.
"Team Skull? They have new gangs all the way out in Kalos?" Ben asked, he crossed his arms as the report continued.
"These criminals have been seen all across Kalos, with reports saying they have been recently spotted in Shalour City. I highly recommend that citizens return to their homes, police have yet to make major arrests against the gang." The reporter said, Ben was about to turn and move when someone slammed into him.
Both rolled before stopping, a groan of pain came from both people.
"Ow, sorry, I can't really skate the best when its darker out." The voice said, Ben blinked and looked at the girl. She had blonde hair with grey eyes.
He blinked in shock.
"Korrina?" Ben asked, Korrina blinked before she realized who she crashed into.
"Ben! I haven't seen you since our last battle!" Korrina said, she laughed and tried to sit up, an effort not easy with skates.
"You mean when Riolu fought your Lucario?" Ben asked, rubbing his head, said Pokémon rushed over as Riolu growled and tried to hit the bigger Pokémon with a Shadow Claw.
Lucario dodged and headbutted Riolu who fell to one knee before Mienshao popped out of its Poke Ball.
The Martial Arts Pokémon stopped the fight, holding its arms out between both of the fellow Pokémon.
"And Lu still isn't over losing last time, I think he's just Jealous he isn't a Lucario yet." Ben stated, Riolu huffed as Korrina laughed and pet the small Pokémon on the head, taking the glove off her hand.
It leaned into the palm of her hand as Ben crossed his arms and smiled.
"Don't mind him, he's just cranky and wants to train… He rushed off again and I had to go find him…. He's going to be like this till he defeats your Lucario." Ben said, Korrina nodded and both turned to the tv who was still playing the recording.
"I heard about them on tv, Team Skull." Korrina stated, Ben crossed his arms and took off his clip-on skates and removed his helmet. Pidgeotto took both items and flew off to take them home.
"First, I've really heard of them, they just seem like a bunch of thugs, they really that dangerous?" Ben asked, Korrina nodded.
"Kind of, their basically just a bunch of bullies, stealing money and all that." Korrina said, Ben nodded.
That was before Riolu growled at something behind them, both turned to see Team Skull.
