Just an unrelated note here I completed Battle Network 3 to 100% and it was hard and annoying as hell but now back to the story. I don't MegaMan just my O.C's.
Both Friday and Saturday had gone by quickly for the duo both days being relatively uneventful and it was now Sunday afternoon. Ringo had to plans to go to the arcade and netbattle some people and stopped by Jonah's house to see if he would want to tag along. She knew that he wasn't much of a netbattle mainly due to his navi being to weak to hold its own against a customized one but it wouldn't hurt to try.
She knocked on the door then rang the doorbell a few times and waited for bit and he came to the door a few moments later all dressed in his hoodie and everything "Yeah Ringo?" he asked "Wanna head down to the arcade with me. I know you're not much of a netbattler but there is some other stuff there to play on" she asked and Jonah shrugged his shoulders "Ehh… sure I don't have my P.E.T anyway so I'm kinda bored" he answered coming out of his home and locking the door.
"Why don't you have your P.E.T?" Ringo asked as the duo began their walk "My dad took it to work with him and said something about it needing an update or something like that and taking awhile for it to do so" Jonah answered putting his hands in his sweater pockets "What's the update for?" Ringo asked and Jonah responded by shrugging his shoulders "Heck if I know" he answered making Ringo sigh at his inability to hold a decent conversation.
The two made it to the arcade without any trouble and immediately Ringo went to the Netbattle computers with Jonah following behind her.
When the two got to the netbattle computers there was already a few going on so the two, or rather Ringo, waited for one to finish up. Thankfully the duo made good timing as one had opened up.
"Yeah that's the power of GutsMan!" the boy shouted giving his opponent a smug grin as his opponent walked away he then turned to the small crowd.
"Is there anyone who can give me a challenge?" he shouted to the crowd his voice full of confidence and Ringo immediately took it as a sign to step forward "Yep me" she said with her hands on her hips.
"Well my Navi's already in there hurry and jack in yours" he said as Ringo stepped up to the console and brought out her P.E.T "With pleasure. Jack in, Pyro Execute!"
Netbattle Comp - Pyro and GutsMan
Pyro materialized in the computer and faced his opponent "He looks pretty tough" the flame navi said observing GutsMan size. Pyro then heard GutsMans NetOp laugh "Your really think a skinny navi like that can beat GutsMan" he said.
Ringo smirked "You ain't seen nothing yet. Pyro crank up the heat" she said and her navi obliged setting his entire upper body ablaze giving him a bit of a larger appearance.
Ringo turned to GutsMan's NetOp "It isn't too late to back out now" she offered him but he blew it off "If anyone should be saying that it should be me GutsMan show her who's boss" he said and GutsMan replied by pounding his chest with his fists shouting "GUTS GUTS GUTS!" followed by him charging at Pyro "Guess the battle started"
GutsMan charged at Pyro with his fist raised and Pyro mimicked him leaving behind a trail of fire "Here's some extra power Pyro, Heat Knuckle, Battle Chip Slot in!" Pyro's fist became a bit bigger as the two collided.
When Pyro's fist connected with GutsMan he immediately started jumping up and down shaking his hand "Hot, hot, hot!" the giant Navi shouted "Don't worry GutsMan I gotcha, Cold Punch, Battle Chip Slot in!" GutsMan's fist that was burning from Pyro's punch became covered in ice cooling his fist down.
"…crap…" Ringo muttered under her breath while Cold Punch covered GutsMan's fist in ice it still qualified as an aqua element attack. The NetOp thankfully had had a battle chip that could hopefully slow GutsMan down at least "Lava Stage, Battle Chip Slot it!" she shouted and the field became covered in a red wasteland.
However to Ringo's surprise it barely fazed him "GutsMans may not been able to take that Heat Knuckle but he's endured greater heat then a Lava Stage" his NetOp said in a proud tone as GutsMan landed then Cold Punch, Pyro managed to catch it but still suffered some damage due to his elemental disadvantage.
"Time for plan b" Ringo said to herself "Pyro push him back!" she said to her navi, Pyro then with all of his might tackled into GutsMan head making him loss his balance and that's when Ringo saw her chance "Grass Stage, Battle Chip Slot in!" the field then changed from a red wasteland to a green grassy field "Heat Knuckle Battle Chip Triple Slot in! Program Advance, Flame Hook!" two giant fists made entirely came out of nowhere and hit quickly struck GutsMan, with the P.A being strengthened by the grass terrain it was to much for the other navi to handle 'GutsMan, Logging Out' he jacked out of the computer making Ringo and Pyro the winners.
"Ha ha, yes!" she shouted with glee raising her fist in the air "Awww… man" GutsMan's operator said in a disappointed tone "You weren't half bad" Ringo said to GutsMan's operator "Thanks, you too" he responded "I'm Dex by the way" he introduced "Ringo" she said simply "Well, Ringo wanna set up a rematch sometime?" Dex asked "Sure send me an E-Mail when you wanna netbattle again" she said before stepping away from the console.
When Ringo stepped away from the console she found that Jonah was nowhere to be found, she sighed "Oh great where'd he go off to" she said under he breath looking around for him.
Ringo walked around for a bit before she finally spotted him at a chip trade he had already inserted three chips and got one back "Step Cross that's pretty good" he said putting the chip in his pocket before pulling out another set of three battle chips and putting them in the trader and getting one back "Cannon… seriously" he said with obvious disappointment in his voice.
That's when Ringo walked up behind him and tapped on his shoulder, she giggle a bit after seeing him jump a bit "Geez… you need something" he said slightly on edge due to Ringo scaring him a bit "Yeah I was wondering where you went off too. You didn't stick around for the full fight" she said "Eh… I walked away when you unleashed that Program Advance in combination with the Grass Stage" he explained "Oh, Okay well I'm gonna stick around for a bit more what about you?" she asked him which he shrugged his shoulders at "Eh… I think I'm just gonna go home a lot of the games here are not very interesting" Jonah replied.
Ringo sighed a bit "Really you're not gonna stick around and watch me?" she asked "Not much I can do without my P.E.T. Hope that darn update does something good to my navi" he said walking out of the arcade Ringo sighed "I'm sure you'll get a custom navi one of these days Jonah" she said to him even though he couldn't hear her "Hey can you Netbattle with me?" Ringo heard some random person ask "Sure thing" she said going to the Netbattle console.
Jonah walked home in silence the only thing accompanying him were the sounds of the city that being cars passing by and people chatting with each other side by side.
He sighed and looked up and the sky for a brief moment and got an idea for when he got home "Well that's something to keep me occupied while I'm waiting for my P.E.T" he said to himself "I wonder if my navi can even handle a Program Advance… doubt it" he continued on talking to himself until he finally reached his house and pulled out his key and went inside.
The young NetOp went his room and tossed the Cannon chip aside seeing as how he already had a few HiCannons and one M-Cannon.
"Let's see here" he said opening one of the drawers of his desk looking through the battle chips he had.
Over the years Jonah had his NormalNavi he started to really on battle chips that had strong power to make up for his NormalNavi's weakness, while he didn't have any absurdly powerful Giga Chips he did have a few Mega Chips at his disposal being only Super Vulcan and Muramasa, the latter being considered next useless due to his NormalNavis frail state "I sure hope I have enough zenny for UnderShirt so Muramasa can actually be useful for once" he said gathering a bunch of chips and putting them on his desk to which he began to sure out.
The rest of the evening was spent trying to find P.A's with the battle chips he had and playing video games. The evening was slightly more interesting due to Ringo stopping by for brief visit, keyword being brief she only stayed for twenty minutes before having to run home. That was when Jonah decided to call it in for the night and went to sleep.
His father having arrived hours after he had gone to sleep with his P.E.T in hand. Jonah's P.E.T was the basic colours being light blue and even more lighter shade of blue with no emblem on it. But now it was different it now had a different colour scheme, its primary colour was purple and the secondary colour being gold.
The big difference however was that there was now an emblem on it the emblem being the same one on Jonah's locket his father looked down at it, it was on with the screen showing 'Navi installation process 17%' with that number gradually going up at a steady pace "Hopefully this finishes by the time he wakes up" he said with a bit of joy in his voice.
He than proceeded to go and quietly place the P.E.T on his desk with the alarm already being set before turning it in for the night himself.
Next chapter he will be getting his navi so don't worry. As always any and all feedback is appreciated. See ya
