Chapter 2
Fighting Aunt Maggie!
(Leos' POV)
It was my first time out from Roseden and i was a bit nerves, but at least i wasn't alone i had twin girls, they seemed nice enough, they were the 'silent type', they were smallish in a small way, they were each other's perfect mirror image it was fascinating, Sunny had her hair parted on the left, Rayn on her right.
We had been walking for awhile when Rayn stopped "What is it?" i asked looking around
"Rayn thought she heard a twig break" Sunny replied in a sweet voice, I was very interested at this, how did she know what Rayn heard?, Rayn hadn't said a thing, maybe it's a twin thing.
"BOO!" Suddenly three kids jumped out from the bushes, 1 girl and 2 boys, they attempted to scare us, but failed miserably.
"Umm were yous trying to scare us?, because I've told yous, you can't scare us by the way, why are yous all here?" Rayn said crossing her arms "yeah are yous travelling together?" Sunny asked "Never thought I'd see Bella, Jesse and Kevin travelling together did you Rayn?" Sunny whispered to her sister "nope" Rayn answered
"Urm who are yous?" i asked, i had no idea how their talking about
Then the tallest boy answered me "This is Kevin" he said pointing to a small boy with blondey-brown hair, who was wearing gloves, a baseball hat, green jacket and red jeans, "This is Bella" the boy said pointing to the only girl she was wearing a white dress and joggers, with a black jacket and white hat, she had short, spiked red hair and had a belt with 6 Pokéballs in it "And my name is Jesse" Jesse said pointing to himself, Jesse was the tallest, he had black hair and wore a red belt, white singlet with a yellow jacket, black gloves and white jeans, "and we would like to have a 3 way battle!"
"Ok" Rayn said letting out her Squirtle
"Clown Drop!"
Everyone else followed suit
"Honey!" Cried Sunny throwing her Pokéball
"Starshine!" Said Bella throwing her Pokéball, letting out a Charmander
"Squirtle!" Called Kevin, he too throwing his ball, showing a Squirtle
"Bulba!" Jesse Said throwing his Pokéball, inside was a Bulbasaur
I grabbed Sneasel Pokéball "Sneasel!" i called and my Sneasel came out in a red beam of light, everyone looked at Sneasel, they most likely have never seen a Sneasel before
"Ok you start" Kevin said
"Sure, Honey, Tackle!"
"Clown Drop, Tackle!"
"Sneasel, Quick attack!"
"Bulba, Tackle!"
"Starshine, Scratch!"
"Squirtle, Tackle!"
As Honey hit Squirtle, Clown Drop tackled Squirtle also, then Sneasel finished Squirtle off with a strong Quick Attack, Bulba and Starshine saw their chance and Tackled/Scratched Sneasel on the sides, Sneasel didn't like that.
"Sneasel Scratch!" I called Sneasel did what was asked and scratched Starshine in the face
"Clown Drop, Tackle!" Rayn said pointing at Starshine
"Honey, you too!"
Clown Drop and Honey tackled Starshine knocking it out of the ring, disqualifying the Charmander, much to the dismay of Kevin, to whom Starshine flew into, knocking Kevin to the ground, hard.
"Yeah!" Rayn and Sunny cheered "Dont cheer yet we could still loose, but we probably won't, Jesse is out numbered, 3 to 1, Sneasel use Quick attack, once more!"
"Honey, Tackle!"
"Clown Drop, Tackle!"
"Bulba Tackle!"
Sneasel used Quick attack, making Bulba trip and hit his head, but also knocking over Clown Drop, so it was all up to Honey, and she brought it home, hitting Bulba critically on the side.
"Yeah!" We all cheered as Jesse returned Bulba and Bella returned Starshine
"That was fun, we should do this again sometime" Kevin said smirking "But right now we need to hurry back to Pallet to heal our Pokémon, c'mon guys" Jesse, Bella and Kevin all collected their Pokémon and started running back to Pallet
"He was right, that was fun" Said Sunny kneeling down to Honey "Wasn't it Honey?" She smiled at her Pokémon
"Yeah i had loads of fun, I've been thinking, can you do battles and contests?" Rayn asked
"I think so" I answered, "Sure you can, i mean why wouldn't you be able to?" Sunny answered
"True, ok i will from now on do Contests and Battles" Rayn announced "I'll be so much fun!" She cried
"C'mon we've wasted enough time, let's get going and find a good place to sleep if need be, hope yous have sleeping bags" I said smiling at them
"Of course we do, i have a Blue one" Rayn said picking up Clown Drop
"And i have a Red one" Sunny said picking up Honey
Sneasel was right behind Sunny looking around curiously, then he set eyes on me, I sighed "Fine go ahead and explore" i said to my Sneasel as he ran off into the forest
"How did you know he wanted to go exploring?" asked Sunny
"He looked at me with eyes that said 'Can i go explore?'" i said with a slight laugh, i watched as Sunny looked into Honeys eyes "Honeys eyes say 'Can i go to sleep now?'" She said laughing
"Hey Rayn i have a question" i asked looking at Rayn
"What do you what to ask me?" she replied
"How on earth did you come up with the name Clown Drop, for a Squirtle?" i said nearly bursting into laughter, it was a weird but funny name for any Pokémon.
"Oh that" she said laughing "We'll..."
-Memory-
How Did Squirtle Get Its Name?
"Ok then, Squirt- umm err" "i started to say but I wanted to think of a cute name for my Pokémon"
"And then Sunny whispered" "Why not Rayn?"
"Then i whispered back" "But that's MY name"
"Sunny then said" "So who cares?"
"Then i said" "Err let's, see oh, I do"
"And then it hit me, I'll name my Squirtle after Rima's and Kusukusu's transformation on Shugo Chara!" "I know come on Clown Drop!" i said then i threw the Pokéball, My Pokéball opened, and Clown Drop came out, it was so cute.
After that Sunny whispered "CLOWN DROP!" then she made a weird face "and you thought naming it Rayn was a bad idea but Clown Drop?, are you serious?, were you watching Shugo Chara last night girl?" I nodded smiling at Clown Drop, who was getting ready for battle, then Sunny said "New it..., ok go ahead, battle but first do you know Clown Drops moves?" and thats about it really
-Memory finished-
"Err sorry for me asking but, what's Shugo Chara?" I asked confused, i have never heard of Shugo Chara before.
Sunny laughed "Its alot to explain, but it's a Manga story, and also an Anime story, it's really cool!" Sunny said enthusiastically
"Ok I'll take your word for it, want to have a race?" i asked waiting for a response from one of them
"Ok" Sunny said smiling "If you can..." I waited patiently, as Sunny and Rayn exchanged glances, "catch us!" they both said running, Pokémon in their arms, they were pretty fast, for girls.
I ran after them, one was slightly slower than the other, i think it may be Sunny, i sped up to catch her, but then she suddenly stopped and i sped right past her, she laughed "I may not be fast, but i am smart" i looked behind me, it was Sunny, she started running again, and i attempted to catch Rayn this time, but i failed miserably, sure im faster, but god can those girls manurer, it might have been 1hour and i still haven't caught them.
"Ok i give, yous win, and we won't have a race to the next town" I said puffed out, they laughed, "But... yous cheated... anyway..." i said trying to catch my breath
"How did we cheat?" Asked Rayn, who wasn't puffed out like i was, "Yeah how?" Sunny agreed
"Because, there are two of you, and when i nearly caught one and missed, you'd take a break, and vice-versa and i call that cheating" i said getting up
They laughed again looked up, and i saw a sign that said;
Route 1 Roseden town – Tamalia City
"Well, we dont have far to go, might as well race our Pokémon too" Said the girls smiling
"Yous are evil, you mean yous were going to race anyway?" i asked not believing what just made me do
"Yep, you got suckered" they said laughing
"Haha laugh all you want, but i WILL get revenge! I promise!" i said letting out Charmander and calling for Sneasel
"Right, sure you will..." They said nearly laughing
"I will!" I persisted
"Ready set go!" They both started running, their Pokémon behind them
"Cheaters!" I yelled, they didn't even take a breath when they started
It had been a while since i have ran aimlessly with me Pokémon, i forgot how much fun it is, at the moment Rayn was at Second place, Sneasel at first, Me coming third, then Charmander at forth, after Charmander, Sunny, Squirtle and at last place Honey
I dont know how long we had ran for, but it must have been a while, we actually reached the next town before the next day, but of course we were tired
It turns out Rayn and Sunny have an Auntie living in Tamalia City, her name was Maggie, she was a nice woman, her house was a hotel, many people stayed the night there, so plenty of challenges
"Girls!" Aunt Maggie enthused "It's being so long since i have seen yous! how is everyone?" She said hugging the girls
"Their good, Mums still abit ill, dad's still working overtime, the usual" They said in unison
"That brother of mine, so in-love with work, terrible so why are you two here if you called i could have cleaned" Aunt Maggie said, although her home seemed clean enough to me "Oh i nearly forgot, who is this?" She said gesturing to me
"That's Leo, and he is travelling with us, we've got our first Pokémon now, and have started our journey" Said Sunny, smiling
"Hello Leo, make yourself at home, call me Aunt Maggie, and all of yous go to bed, i want to see a real trainer battle in the morning and everyone better be up for the challenge, go on upstairs, third floor, fifth and seventh doors on your left, ok?"
"Right" and we all went up the stairs
The hallways had golden walls and rich red carpet, every now and then you would see a vase, or statue on pedestals next to the walls all-in-all the Hotel look 5star
We finally got to rooms 5 and 7, we unlocked the doors, the girls took number 5 and i got number 7, number 7 had one bed, the bed had royal blue covers, golden frame with golden walls and rich, red carpet, all the furniture matched, the room looked beautiful, i looked at the time, it was pretty late, so i turned in, i changed into my PJ's and climbed into the bed, it was so soft and warm i felt two things get on the bed, i looked and it was Charmander and Sneasel.
"Charmander, be careful, i dont want to have to explain how my bed burnt down ok" and then i fell asleep.
I woke up to the sound of bells, and then two voices "Leo! Wake up! C'mon Leo wake up! Its morning and we have to see Aunt Maggie!" It was the girls
"Im getting up" i groaned rolling over and going back to sleep
"I didn't want to do this, but you left me no choice, Clown Drop!"
Suddenly a burst of cold water hit me, and i was rudely woken up "What?" i said angrily nearly yelling
"Damn you're really not a morning person, are you" Said Sunny
"Well, let's say i dont like cold water being squirted at my face, and since when has Squirtle know water gun?" i asked getting up
"Since Aunt Maggie taught it to her, im so happy!" Said Rayn picking Clown Drop up
"Well get out so i can change" i said getting my clothes ready
5minutes later i met them in the lobby; they were talking to Aunt Maggie
"Ok so it's all your Pokémon against my Pokémon" Said Aunt Maggie
"Great!" The girls said as they all went out to the Hotel Garden; i followed pretending i knew what i was doing
"Ok call all your Pokémon kids!" Called Aunt Maggie as Rayn and Sunny called out their Pokémon, i did the same, and then Aunt Maggie called out her Pokémon "It's been so long since i have had a Pokémon battle, ok I'll go with-"
"Pikachu!" She said throwing a Pokéball, out came a yellow and brown coloured mouse, with black tipped ears and red circles on its cheeks, the Sunny oooo and ahhhed at the cute little Pokémon
"Vulpix!" She said again throwing a Pokéball to the ground, this time an orangey-reddish fox Pokémon came out, it had 6 tails, and it was very beautiful Rayn got hearts in her eyes at the site of it.
"And finally, Charizard!" she said one more, this time a dragon like orange and blue Pokémon came out, it had a flame on the end of its tail, i was pretty sure it was the final evolution of Charmander, how on earth were we going to have a chance of winning a battle this tough?
"Yous go first" She said as her Pokémon settled
"Ok" I Said
"Sneasel, Quick attack, Charmander, Flame thrower!"
Sneasel ran next to the flame thrower, and they both struck Pikachu hard, but Pikachu just shook it off like it was nothing, this Pikachu was strong
"Clown Drop, Water gun!" Rayn called just as Sunny told Honey to use Vine wipe
The Vine wipe and Water gun hit Pikachu too, this time Pikachu showed that he was in fact injured
"Vulpix, Charizard, Flame thrower! And Pikachu Thunder shock!" Aunt Maggie called as her Pokémon obeyed
Vulpix and Charizards Flame throwers mixed with Pikachu's Thunder shock to make a hugely powerful electric flame thrower that hit all the Pokémon except themselves, the only Pokémon left standing were Charmander and Clown Drop, Clown Drop was on the verge of fainting, and Charmander didn't take too much damage from the fire attack or the weak electrical shock that charged though it.
Sunny and I Quickly called back our fallen Pokémon, giving them praises as we did so
"We need to get rid of Pikachu, so Clown Drop can get a chance to attack the others with Water gun, for Honey and Sneasel" said Rayn
"Yeah and i know exactly what to do" i said
"Charmander Flame thrower full power" i said pointing to the direction of Pikachu, i didn't have Charmander for a year for nothing
Charmander toke a mighty big breath, and then let out a really strong flame thrower, that burnt Pikachu to a crisp, Pikachu fainted, without making a sound, Charmander started breathing heavily, that was the biggest Flame thrower he had ever done in his life, and he was proud of himself
"Vulpix, Charizard Flame Thrower" Aunt Maggie said as she recalled Pikachu
Vulpix and Charizard again used Flame thrower, and again it mixed, this time Charmander and Clown Drop were ready, Suddenly Charmander let out a huge Flame thrower again, while Clown Drop dived behind Charmander and then let out a super powered Water gun the Flame thrower held the Super Flame thrower back, giving Clown Drop a chance to extinguish the flame from the safety of being behind Charmander, the Water gun kept going and hit both Vulpix and Charizard, but sadly it was not powerful enough to do too much damage to Charizard, Vulpix on the other hand was severely injured.
"Thats the way to do it" Rayn and I said to our Pokémon, but i wasn't dumb, there was no way we could beat such a powerful opponent like Charizard, Vulpix maybe but not Charizard all we could do was give Aunt Maggie a run for her money.
"Ok i was hoping it wouldn't have to come to this, Vulpix Dig far below the ground now!" Aunt Marge said to her Vulpix, i was confused, by the look on Rayns face so was she, when i looked for Sunny i saw she wasn't there, but behind the bushes training Honey with Sneasel helping
"Charizard, Explosion!" Said Aunt Marge
"What?" i said "Charmander RUN!"
Rayn looked at me and did the same thing "Clown Drop get outta there!" but it was too late, suddenly in a huge white light, and massive BOOM, when everything cleared Charizard and Charmander were still standing, weakly, then Charizard fainted, for a second there i thought Charmander was still awake, but then he fell to the ground.
"Well that was the best battle with a bunch of 'Newbies' I've had in years" Said Aunt Marge calling Charizard and Vulpix back
"Well i certainly had fun" Said Rayn calling Clown Drop back
"So did i" I confessed, i looked over to Sunny, she'd gotten up and had returned Honey "Oh and Leo, thank your Sneasel for me, i think Honey learnt a new move" Said added excitedly
"Well i guess we should go right guys?" Rayn asked
"Yeah i guess, it was fun while it lasted" I said, i didn't want to go, it was so much fun here
"Hey Aunt Maggie, didn't you have more Pokémon?" Sunny asked ignoring Rayns question
"Why yes i did, why?" Aunt Maggie answered looking at Sunny
"Well where are they then?" Sunny asked politely
Aunt Marge laughed "When i fight new trainers who have spunk i give them one of my Pokémon or a TM" she finished grabbing two of her Pokéballs "Now Sunny, i know you didn't do much in the battle, but you went out gracefully and trained straight away and i haven't sent you a birthday present for a long time, Rayn you deserve Vulpix, i saw you eyeing her and you worked hard, Now Leo, i have 1 last Pokémon, but that is Charizard, and he was my first, i would never give him away" she said sternly to show she was serious "so instead I'll teach your 2 Pokémon some useful moves and I'll give yous all a TM each." Aunt Maggie finished giving me a disc, Rayn a Pokéball and disc and Sunny a Pokéball and disc
"Thankyou" we all said politely
"Ok now I'll teach your Charmander Smokescreen and Rage, while your Sneasel shall learn 3 moves" Said Aunt Maggie
"Ok um isn't Charmander a little too weak to learn those moves?" I asked carefully "And why are you going to teach Sneasel 3?"
"No, your Charmander knows Flame thrower, so it can learn Smokescreen and Rage, im sure" She said "And because Sneasel has alot of promise, i think it's time for him to learn some Ice and Dark type moves and a bonus Ghost type thats all"
"Ok, c'mon girls" I said following Aunt Maggie
"Now tell your Charmander to do this"
1 hour later and Charmander could use both Rage and Smokescreen, and Sneasel had learnt Faint attack, Ice shard and Shadow ball, it was really interesting to watch her teach my Pokémon new moves like that, i wish i could do that
"Ok, there you go, now yous can go adventuring, oh and the Gym is behind the PokémonCentre on the hill, behind the fence" Aunt Maggie said smiling
"Isn't the next Gym in Poohna?" i called confused
Aunt Marge laughed "No, now go adventuring" she smiled
"Ok, bye and thanks" We said leaving, but first we had to stop at the PokémonCentre to heal our Pokémon
"Hey do you think we should challenge the gym leader tomorrow?" Rayn asked watching our Pokéballs go through a weird machine
"Yeah, it'd be fun since your Pokémon have new moves" Said Sunny smiling
"And it would be nice to see a real battle that would take you one step closer to the elite four" I added
"I agree" Said Sunny getting into her bed
"As do i" Rayn added getting into her bed
"Good night" we said in unison, and i fell into a deep sleep.
