Chapter 2:Agression and Discretion, a new trainer to the eye!

After our hero recived his first partner pokemon,he commenced it's training at the near by lake,having his pokemon,Shard the oshawatt strike him with everything she had"Cmon Shard,I know you can hit harder then that!"

"OSHA!"She screeched lunging quickly,striking onto Golds scarred chest,looking at her trainer she kept the slashes coming,agressive beauty was the only way to actually describe what was seen to the oshawatt,and to think that this human,this TRAINER was taking the edge of every slash and still standing is something that would be scary,even if his pokemon was just an oshawatt.

Gold stared down at his chest after the attack was lifted,he chuckled to see that a little blood dripped from it,he grabbed abit of water and used it to clean him self,the water becoming a bit red with the cleansing"Alright shard thats enough for today,lets go-"There was a splash that surprised him,it was his hat"The hell,Shard,be a dear and bring it over here?"

"Osha!"she gave a quick salute and swam towards his hat,ducking into the water to swim faster.

XxX

(On land-With Golds possesions)

"Cmon purloin,look for something useful there...cmon!"a bit of a gruff voice spoke"I tossed that hat to give us time,lets steal everything this guys got!"He roared

"Purrrrrloin"the pokemon known as purrloin spoke,feeling a bit angry at its supposed trainer,having to do its dirty work while they caused a diversion,seeing a few golden items,and odd pokeballs,they decided to leave the balls and take the gold.

"JACKPOT!"The trainer roared.

(Inside of the lake)

"OSHA!"Shard chirped loudly,returning the hat back to her trainer,smiling at him.

Upon seeing this,Gold retrived his hat from said partner,placing it upon his head,grinning at her,then swimming to shore.

"JACKPOT!"A loud roar boomed,causing Gold and Shard to panic,forcing them into high gear. Reaching mainland,he sought a trainer,a Roughneck ransacking his possesions.

"Excuse me..."Gold spoke in a calm voice,startling the Roughneck,getting him to look around"I'd rather you not steal from what is mine..."he walked closer.

While the Roughneck looked at him,his face of shock turning into one of amusement,from amusement to laughter"Your joking right,i found this stuff fare and square bub!"

Gold stood silent,and looked at what the Roughneck had"Alright,how about a battle...I lose you keep what ever you want...i win...i keep this stuff and I'll keep your jacket."

The Roughneck looked at him"But this jacket is my baby,I took care of this jacket,no matter what happened to me this baby kept me going,or else i wouldnt keep the name my momma gave me,Gus!"He belowed,while Gold gave him a deadpanned look,looking at the thieving pokemon.

"Excuse me..."Gold went through his stuff pulling out a pokedex,opening it on purrloin

"Purrloin,the dark cat pokemon,these pokemon have the tendency to take things from others,even its own trainer at times,though at other times it can be seen laying lazy against a great oakwood"The pokedex spoke,closing itself instantly.

"Ah...so thats what im dealing with..."He looked over at Shard and nodded as she stood up front.

"Osha Oshawatt!"she cried proudly,pollishing her shell.

"Grr...Fine,lets go krokorok!"The Roughneck know as Gus threw out a pokeball from his belt,smirking.

"Krokorok!"a giant gator stood with his arms crossed,a big grin plasterd over its face,looking down at his opponent,glaring at her,which only brought a huff in annoyance from her.

The pokedex opened again"Krokorok,the sand gator pokemon and the evolved form of Sandile,this pokemon can be seen in desserts skulking with its younger bretheren,hoping to loot those unfortunate enough to step in their territory."

"Osha..."Shard pulled its shell off,looking at Krokorok,awaiting its orders.

"Shard,water gun"Gold called,a quick stream of water rushed towards the krokorok,it looked a bit panicked,looking at Gus.

"Umm...ummm! Krok use dig!"Gus ordered,with a nod,the Krokorok dug striaght down,escaping a blast of high pressure water."Thats it! What you got on us now wimp?"Gus called out laughing.

"Simple...Shard,water gun directly in the hole...put some more 'umph' into it!"Gold called,Shard nodded,running to the hole and getting near it and blasting more presurised water directly in the hole.

"Wait! NO!" Gus cried out"Krok-!"Before Gus could even begin formulating his order,the Krokorok flew sky high.

"Kraaaaaaaaaaak!"It screeched,falling from the extreme hight.

"Shard,Razor shell!"Gold said guiding her cut with his hand,giving it a diagnol swipe,this caused a bit of a chain reaction,the cut caused krokorok to spin violently,falling to the ground with a loud thud,he was down,but he wasn't out.

"Krooooooooouuuuuuhhhh..."The now dizzy krokorok tried to attack,now failing miserably,slamming its face againts a tree,causing it to slam on his back,now,he was definetly down for the count.

"Ata' girl...now...my prize?"Gold spoke up,looking at the shell shocked Roughneck.

"Bu-bu-but...how? That thing is a baby pokemon!"he whined,his hands balled into fist on the ground,he sighed returning the items and taking off his jacket"Just...take good care of her..."

Gold tried it on,pouting seeing at it was just a tad too big for his taste,though the red Gyaredos brought back alot of memories."Hey Gus!"

The fleeting Roughneck looked over to his conquerer,seeing darkness instantly,he took off what was on his face,revealing the jacket"What are you giving me this for?"

"Its too big...and consider it a reminder that someone out there kicked your ass!"Gold grinned at the Roughneck.

Gus looked at it,and smiled,walking grabbing one of Gold's hands in a death grip"Remember punk...You're my Rival from now on!...Sorry...Gold...You are my rival from now on."

Gold smirked and returned the grip"Consider it done Gus...Next time ask if you need something!"He laughed at his new formed rival and hopefully friend."I'll be seeing you,im heading to the next town,check it out before i hit the gym in Aspertia city".With a nod,Gus pulled Krokorok over his shoulder and started to walk away,but with a question nagging at Gold"Gus,how did you know my name?"

Gus turned around and chuckled"Oh thats easy,i swiped your trainer card first,to see who i was dealing with."He gave a good hearty laugh leaving a face planting gold flat on the ground"See ya Goldy!"

"See ya dude..."Gold stood up,dressing up seeing Gus leave the field,he hefted his bag and walked up north towards the next town,with quick identification thanks to the town map on his pokegear,this town was called Sangi town.

(30 minutes later-Sangi town)

"Alright...time to look around..."Gold groaned,he loved adventure but one thing he hates is walking aimlessly,constantly going left and right,getting no where,that is until he saw a volcanic head of hair,it was a burly man,the volcanic hair was a mixed color of red,orange yellow and showing some grey.

"OH YEAH!"He bellowed from the top of the roof of what appears to be a training gym,he looked down at Gold,who in turn gave him a dull look"Whoa,if you are who i think you are,You're that champion my nephew keeps talking about...what was your name...Mold right?"

The teen was calm on the outside,but on the inside he was absolutely furious"Its Gold..."he spoke calmly before walking past the old man"I dont expect you to remember that."

"Ouch,cruel much,now hold on before you go,how about a battle?"The oldman grinned

"Look if you want to fight my champion team,tough luck,i dont have them on me"Gold now stood still turning around looking at an attempt at a puppy dog face going horribly"Please,now your just giving me a reason to punch you old man"

"Oh cmon its been sooooooo long since i have fought someone so young and strong,tell you what,ill train you!"The old jackass seemed persistent,so Gold gave in before it got worse.

"Fine...But listen old man,as soon as the battle is over you stay away,i dont want to feel like a washed up idiot"At that the old man pouted.

"I have a name you brat,Its Alder,the name of a true champion!"He bellowed,making Gold stare angerly

"Alright Alder...Remember when i said you wont remember my name,then now you better pray you remember it,just a reminder...Its Gold."the cold voice slithered out glaring at the mature ex-champion

What is this? A battle between champions,or rather ex champions!? What will this mean for our Hero's temper,knowing him,hes just about ready to explode! All this and more,next time in Pokemon DARKENED GOLD!
