The Gray Adventure Part 2
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon.
Kenshin: Okay, now we come to chapter 2. Which brings me to the question of how long it'll be.
Manabu: Obviously it'll be as long as all the other stories; 14 chapters.
Yusei: I don't know; couldn't we extend on that? Maybe 17 or 20?
Journal Entry 2: Vs. Cheren! The Aura User Awakens
Zekrom hovers over top of Nimbasa City, before reverting to Hilbert and dropping. Electromagnetism releases from his body, slowing down his descent into the surrounding forest. He walks inside the city with a sigh. "Before I look for Lucas and Kyurem, I better go find Elesa and Skyla."
The black protagonist continues walking until he spots a vendor. Purchasing a sea salt ice cream bar he chews it; at this moment his tastebuds would be kicking his tongue's butt, but he's used to it at this point.
He comes before the Ferris Wheel, smiling as memories hit him. "Ah, I remember the last time I was on that. The girls dragged me to it on our first date."
"H-Hilbert?!" Hilbert looks to his right and spots Skyla. She runs over to him and tackles the boy, gripping him into a hug. "Hilbert! It's so great to see you again finally!"
"Yeah, nice to see you-" He gets cut off when she kisses him on the lips. He returns it and they stay like this, before standing up and parting. "-too. You know, I remember Elesa saying that we should keep our part of the-"
"It's okay; I missed you so much these past months that Elesa came forward and told everyone of us." Skyla's confession shocks Black a bit before she brings him to the Ferris Wheel.
"Huh...I guess there's no point in hiding it anymore...But, I have something to tell you guys." The two enter the Ferris Wheel, despite him wanting to tell her about Lucas.
"We'll talk later; now, I want to bask in you." The Ferris Wheel takes off, going up in the dark skylight. Skyla hugs onto his arm and leans her head on his shoulder. "By the way, when did you start growing out your hair?"
"Eh?" Hilbert looks up and notices that his hair spikes are a bit larger. "Oh, I didn't notice. I might have grown it out so Kyurem wouldn't find me. Is it okay?"
"Actually, it's kind of interesting. It makes you look more rugged," says Skyla before she glides her fingers through his hair.
Hilbert smiles feeling her warmth, before placing a kiss on her forehead. His hand drifts down to her waist and pulls her closer for a mouth to mouth kiss.
...
Nate opens his eyes to daylight. The young boy rises up with a yawn before getting dressed and ready for the day. He leaves the bedroom of the PC, eats a quick breakfast of eggs and bacon and heads for Alder's place.
"Okay, time for training." Nate travels northeast of the center to where he last left Alder.
"Good morning Nate!" says the former champ to the gray protagonist. "You seem to have grown a bit."
"I don't really think so..." says the boy while scratching his head. "How about that training?"
"Well, instead of that how about you and your Pokemon give me a hand?" Alder leads Nate to his building. Inside he finds two kids awaiting.
"Oh, are we going to help train that person, sir?" asks the little girl.
"I don't know; he looks tough."
"I do?"
"Yup; he may be tough, but you can learn from losing as well." Alder places a hand on Nate's shoulder. "Remember; don't feel bad if a Pokemon loses a battle. They will do the best they can to follow their trainer's advice. Besides, I've told you to just enjoy Pokemon battles.
"Nate, please be their opponent."
"Got it." Nate holds up a Pokeball.
"My name is Seymour; I'll show you all I know from battles!" The little boy sends out Pansage.
"Is that a grass type?" Nate opens Takeru's ball and sends him out.
"Pansage, Vine Whip!" The little monkey swings vines at the fire pig.
"Use Ember!" Takeru snorts embers, scorching the vines. "Now, follow up with Tackle!"
Tepig rushes in and bashes into the monkey. "Bullet Seed!"
Takeru dodges the multitude of seeds coming at him. Flames slowly ignite around him. "A new move?"
Takeru glares at Pansage while Nate looks over the Pokedex. "Tepig, the Fire Pig Pokemon; Tepig loves to eat berries it self roasts, but sometimes it gets too excited and burns them to a crisp. This is a show of its inner potential as it releases fire from its nose; its Flame Charge is a useful factor." "Alright, let's try this out. Flame Charge!"
Takeru snorts out embers, before they turn into flames and surround his body. He then charges Pansage, but misses. "Too bad! Pansage, Scratch!"
Pansage comes at the pig to scratch him. "Takeru, dodge and use Ember!"
The pig jumps back and avoids the attack, moving faster than normal. He then snorts embers, which evolve into a fireball to blast Pansage. "Pansage!"
"Now follow up with Flame Charge!" Takeru charges in and bashes the forest monkey, landing a critical hit. Pansage faints, and the pig hops up happily.
"No, Pansage!" Seymour returns his Pokemon.
"I guess it's my turn next." The girl comes forward with her Pokemon, Panpour. "My name is Cassie."
"I'll make a quick switch." Nate retrieves his Pokemon and sends out his newest recruit Riolu. Everyone looks in shock at its appearance. "...What?"
"An Aura Pokemon!" says the kids while Alder looks with intrigue.
"Aura?" asks Nate looking at his Riolu. Apparently he doesn't seem to notice the implications.
"Nice catch; Riolu aren't that easy to find," says the red head Alder. 'He may be one of them afterall.'
As the battle begins Nate uses the Pokedex to look over his Pokemon. "Huh...so he can do that."
"Panpour, use Water Gun!" The water monkey fires at Riolu, who leaps in the air to dodge. A follow up hits him though.
"Damn. Ryoku, Quick Attack!" Ryoku the Riolu dashes in towards Panpour, making a quick blitzing tackle.
"Dodge and use Lick!" Panpour jumps over Ryoku slightly, before grabbing his face and licking his cheek. "Now, Scratch!"
Taken back from the attack Ryoku gets hit by the claws. "Ryoku, Counter!"
Ryoku grabs the arm and slams Panpour to the ground. "Water Gun!"
Ryoku moves his head to the left and swings Panpour in the air. "Quick Attack!"
This last attack manages a good strike upon Panpour, knocking him out. "And that's the end."
"Oh no, Panpour!" Cassie approaches her Pokemon.
"Nice going, Nate. I could tell that all the Pokemon were enjoying themselves as well!" Alder pats the teen on the back. "So how was the battle? Type advantage and all?"
"Type advantage?"
"Yeah; there are 16 Pokemon types, some with two of each. Some of those types are strong against certain other types, a few of which make a whole lot of sense. For example, Fire burns Grass, Water douses Fire, and Grass absorbs Water." Nate takes a moment to think about it, and realizes he's right; Oda always lost to Serpentera because of type advantage. Also, Takeru is a Fire type that could defeat Pansage a Grass type. "Of course type advantage is not always everything, but when a Pokemon uses a move type that matches its own, it becomes stronger."
"That's good to know, thanks." Nate retrieves Ryoku.
"Having Pokemon and meeting people you never would have met otherwise is truly one of the great things about traveling. Good luck out there!" With these words Nate heads out of the building.
The gray protagonist raises his arms up and stretches. "Now, what to do with these lessons?"
"Oh, hello young sir!" says a nicely dressed man with combed hair. "I know this is sudden but take this." He hands him a blue box. "Good day."
The man then walks off. Nate looks down at it, reading, "Medal Case from Mr. Medal."
"Ah, I almost forgot!" shouts Alder as he leaves the building. "There's a newly opened Pokemon Gym in Aspertia. If you want to move on in your Pokemon travels and maturity challenge all eight."
"Thanks." The young trainer dashes off, a blue flare rising in his eyes. He trips however on a puddle and hits his head on a fence. "OUCH!"
...
Skyla's lips and tongue slip slowly out of her husband's mouth as she opens a door, entering Elesa's abode. "Elesa! Guess who came to visit!"
The Shining Beauty exits her kitchen, saying, "Look, I don't feel like playing another one of your guessing games Sky-" before pausing upon seeing her husband. Tears begin to gather in her eyes as she slowly approaches him, before Elesa raises her arms and hugs him. "Hilbert!"
"Yes, I'm back Elesa. But before we can get reacquainted I need to tell you something." Hilbert hugs her briefly before parting from her. "Kyurem is back."
"What?" The girls widen their eyes in shock. Skyla approaches and asks, "That monster that wanted to eat you!?"
"Yeah, and he captured Lucas." They gasp. "Cheryl is on her way here to help with the search, but I just came to tell you of what's happening."
"You're going after him alone, aren't you?" Elesa asks. "You're about to risk your life again for your friends without worrying about your own life!"
"No, I won't be reckless this time. I'll stop Kyurem and save Lucas without anyone getting hurt like before." Hilbert looks to Elesa and then smiles.
...
With Alder's lessons ringing in his ears Nate sets out for the Aspertia Gym to achieve maturity, and extra strength Tylenol for his head. Along the way noon rolls in, and by the time he reaches Aspertia he spots a familiar female figure coming his way.
"Yo, Nate!" Rosa says to the boy before stepping by his side. "I just got my first badge!"
"Really?" Nate looks at the badge she shows him. "I'm about to win it myself."
"Good! Let's go!" Rosa grabs his arm and drags him to Aspertia Gym. She stops midway hearing his stomach grumble. "Oh, as soon as you eat."
"Nah, I can eat later. Let's get this over with!" Nate however gets dragged off to the Pokemon Center.
Later...
"Ah, that was delicious!" says Nate after eating a meal of spaghetti sauce and rice.
"You're gonna smell bad later aren't you?" asks Rosa after finishing her meal of a fast food burger and fries.
"You're not one to talk; don't you know allot of fast food makes people fart?" His reply causes her to blush from embarrassment.
"Don't say such things about a lady!" Rosa punches him in the throat, causing Nate to choke. "Now let's go get your badge."
Nate tries to agree, but what comes out is a raspy gasp. After handing in their plates they head to the Pokemon Gym. The Tylenol helps him a little better now. Upon entering the gym Nate realizes that it's similar to a school. "Huh. It's like they remade the old school."
"They did," says Rosa, shocking the boy. "The school now doubles as a gym."
"Oh." Nate and Rosa walk through the gym to the battlefield portion, the latter leading the former. Rosa then holds her hand out to the gym leader, the older Cheren.
Cheren looks on at Rosa, saying, "Oh, you again. Enjoying the badge you earned?"
"Yup! But for now there's someone who wants to battle you." She gestures to Nate who steps forward.
Cheren looks upon the trainer. "Hmm...well, I'm ready if you are. But before you do so you must face off against my gym trainers."
"Gym trainers?" Cheren then gestures towards two trainers coming up from behind. "Oh, them."
"I don't challenge anyone who can't handle them." Cheren steps aside as the first one, a male, approaches Nate.
"Understood."
Later...
Cheren returns to Nate, saying, "Impressive. You managed to defeat both of them."
"Of course; I'm aiming straight for the top!" shouts the beginning trainer.
"Let's begin then." Cheren leads Nate to a battlefield outside, with the sun shining down upon them. Before moving to the other side he hands Nate potions. "Use them on your Pokemon."
"Thanks." Nate takes out Takeru's Pokeball.
"This will be a two on two Pokemon gym leader battle. You can only use two specific Pokemon, and only the challenger is allowed to swap Pokemon. Let's begin." Cheren sends out Watchog.
Nate scans the Pokemon in the dex. "Watchog, the Lookout Pokemon; Using luminescent matter, it makes its eyes and body glow and stuns attacking opponents." "Huh...interesting. Alright Takeru, you ready?"
He sends out his pig Pokemon, and uses the Potion to heal his injuries. "Takeru, use Ember!"
"Confuse Ray." Watchog releases a bright light from his eyes at Takeru, despite being burnt. The pig gets blinded, suffering from the confuse status. "Low Kick!"
Watchog sweep kicks the pig to the ground. "Takeru, return!"
Nate retrieves his Pokemon and replaces with Ryoku. "Ryoku, go in with Quick Attack!"
Ryoku dashes at Watchog. "Confuse Ray."
Ryoku closes his eyes as he rushes towards Watchog, a blue light releasing from the crevices of his eyelids before he tackles the Pokemon. "Wow. How did he hit him without seeing?"
Rosa looks on with intrigue. "That was..."
"Okay, Ryoku, get in close to use Force Palm!" Ryoku, his eyes still closed, moves in closer to face Watchog.
"Low Kick!" Watchog tries to sweep him, but Ryoku jumps over and uses Force Palm face up; the attack strikes Watchog's face and sends him down to the ground, fainting.
"Watchog is unable to battle. Riolu wins," says a nearby judge.
"Wow. Riolu is really strong," says Nate as he looks upon his Pokemon. No one notices the blue flare that flashes in his eyes like lightning, except Rosa.
"That's good. You're working hard, although I guess you didn't know that Fighting type moves are strong against Normal Pokemon," Cheren says as he retrieves his Pokemon. He then sends out the next Pokemon, Herdier.
"Herdier...okay, return Ryoku!" Nate retrieves his Pokemon and replaces with Takeru. "Takeru, you doing okay?"
The pig nods to him. "Good, let's get going! Takeru, Ember!"
"Herdier, Take Down!" Herdier charges through the fire towards Takeru.
"Dodge and use Tackle!" Takeru leaps to the left and tackles Herdier's side. "Follow up with Ember!"
Takeru's follow up attack sets Herdier ablaze. The dog shakes the flames off and growls. "Herdier, Work Up."
Herdier begins to rustle about, arousing itself and raising its strength. "Work Up?"
"Take Down!" Herdier charges and strikes down Takeru.
"Takeru!" Nate watches as his Pokemon hits the ground. "Come on, you can do this!"
"Tackle!" Herdier rushes in and strikes, knocking down Takeru for the count.
"Tepig is unable to battle; Herdier wins." The beginner calls back his Pokemon and holds up Ryoku's ball.
"Takeru, sorry." Nate clutches Takeru's Pokeball tightly, eyes closed as he does before attaching the ball to his belt. "Alright, time to win this for Takeru."
He sends out Ryoku. "Herdier, Work Up."
"Ryoku, Quick Attack!" Before the normal type could increase his powers the blue dog charges in and strikes his side. Blue energy forms at Ryoku's right hand.
"Take Down!" Herdier dashes towards Ryoku.
"Counter!" Ryoku releases a blue aura from his body, which repels Herdier and sends him flying. The dog faints.
"Herdier is unable to battle. Riolu wins; the winner of this gym match is Nate of Aspertia," says the judge as he holds his hand up.
"Alright!" Nate cheers along with his tired Riolu.
Rosa smiles. "Way to go."
"There; this is what a real Pokemon battle is," says Cheren to Nate as he retrieves his Pokemon. "That battle has made me feel glad to have battled you. I'll give you this to honor your strength."
Cheren approaches Nate, holding the Basic Badge. "Wow, thanks. I guess this makes us equals, Rosa."
"No, no it doesn't." She pats him on the head, who remains flustered.
"If you want to continue gaining the other badges go to Virbank City. Gather all eight of these trainer milestones and you'll be fit and ready to battle the Elite Four," says Cheren as he adjusts his necktie.
"Did you battle the Elite Four before?" asks Rosa.
Cheren makes a smile. "Actually, I have. I went on a Pokemon journey with my friends back when I was 16. Me, Bianca, Hilda and Hilbert were involved in a crazy adventure. But I couldn't defeat the champion; I couldn't even beat my friend Hilbert, who was vastly stronger than either of them."
"Hilbert?" Rosa cups her chin. "Isn't he the one who defeated N and Team Plasma, the Black Hero?"
"The very same. I actually haven't seen him in months; that worrywart gets in all sorts of trouble. He's completely stressing out two of our gym leaders." The gym leader shrugs. "He's such a problem some times."
Rosa looks to him with a questioning look. "You're worried about him too, aren't you?"
"You can tell huh?" Cheren smiles to the girl. "If you do manage to see him tell him they're worried sick."
"Sure thing." With that the two leave the gym, heading out to the Pokemon Center. Nate looks over his badge with glee. "I wonder if they're all this shiny..."
"I'm heading over to Virbank. Wanna come?" asks the bun haired girl as she leans her elbow on his shoulder.
"I'll go too then." On the way to the center they spot Bianca coming up to them. "Ah, Bianca."
"Hello, Nate!" The blond woman approaches him and Rosa looks at her with a scowl noticing her slight blush. "How's it going?"
"I just won my first gym badge. Here." He shows the Basic Badge.
"Wow, that's amazing! And here you just set off on your journey yesterday," says Bianca as she looks towards the gym. "There's potential in you after all, like she said."
"Huh?"
"Nothing." Bianca takes a moment to smile. "Still, that Cheren..."
Speak of the devil, Cheren walks out. "Oh, Bianca. You're here; how long has it been, two years?"
"Yup! I came to see Nate," says the woman before looking upon Rosa. "Oh yeah, you were with him that time too right?"
"My name is Rosa," she replies, throwing a scowl her way.
"Anyway, I'm about to register you in the Xtransceiver." Bianca holds his device and begins to add in her information. Cheren comes up and does so as well.
That's when it begins to ring. "Eh?"
"That's right; I also added Professor Juniper's as well." Nate turns on the device.
"Hi there, Nate. I'm Professor Juniper," says the lovely professor as her face appears.
"Uh, hello," Nate replies to him.
"Oh hi. I'm glad you were able to take part in the Pokedex project. I'll be seeking your progress, good luck." Juniper signs off.
"Okay then; good luck out there Nate!" Bianca pats him lightly on the back and heads out.
"Yo, Nate and Rosa!" shouts Hugh as he approaches the gym. "I'm guessing you won your gym battles."
"Actually yeah." He holds out the Basic Badge.
"Good. I'll be challenging you as well." Hugh approaches Cheren.
"Another challenger, huh? Very well." Cheren returns to the gym.
"He's looking down on me..." Hugh follows after him. "Remember guys, I'm going for the top. I won't be behind you forever Rosa."
Rosa sighs as he enters the gym, before hooking her arm around Nate. "Let's go; Virbank awaits!"
"Wait, I still have to heal my Pokemon." Rosa comically falls.
Later...
"Let's go!" Rosa says as she and Nate head north to Route 19 before crossing over to Flocessy Town. Along the way they get caught in a battle against a few trainers, including a Lass and a Youngster.
They cross over to the next route, until they spot a hiker standing in their way. "Hold it; you can't cross over until you have the Basic Badge."
The two show their badges. "What's it to you if we have it or not?"
"Because I wanted to face a fellow badge holder!" The Hiker answers to Rosa, before holding out a Pokeball.
"I got this; stand back and watch me shine." Rosa pushes Nate back and holds up her own ball. The hiker shocks them by sending out Riolu, and Rosa responds by using Magby. "Magby, Ember!"
"Riolu, Quick Attack!" Riolu dashes at Magby, who leaps in the air to avoid before shooting a fireball. Riolu takes it to the back and gets burned. "Riolu, no!"
"Give another Ember!" Magby fires again, this time causing the Pokemon to faint. "And I win!"
"Wow...Rosa is really strong..." Nate murmurs as he watches the girl retrieve her Pokemon. 'I doubt I can match her.'
The two then walk pass the fallen hiker, going down the road to where they spot a couple of other trainers battling it out. "Wanna train our Pokemon for a while?"
"Sure thing!" Nate and Rosa join in on the battles, using this time to raise the levels of their Pokemon.
...
Hilbert raises his head up as he rises from the bed. Two arms draped across his chest slide down to his waist, landing on top of his crotch. "I better get going."
"Wait." Elesa reaches her right hand around him and pulls the black protagonist down on the bed. "You still didn't give me my gift last Christmas."
"Me neither," adds Skyla as she rises up, her left hand rubbing his cheek. "There's actually something we both want from you."
"Really? What?" He looks to the two questionably, but seeing as he's been away from them for a while he should have realized it. The seductive smirks they give him confirms it. Their hands lying south of the border squeeze, causing him to yelp. The girls then throw the sheets over them.
...
Takeru gets knocked aside by a Mareep. "Takeru, Tackle!" Takeru charges back, but his body releases a large flame from his nose as he does. The surprised Nate watches as his Pokemon crashes into Mareep, defeating it. "Wow...was that a new technique?"
The trainer retrieves her Pokemon and walks off, before handing Nate Pokedollars. Rosa joins him after defeating her opponent, saying, "How's it going?"
"I'm good, a little hungry. Let's get to Virbank." Rosa nods and walks to the nearest exit. After passing through the gate they soon enter Virbank City, although it was getting dark at that moment. Nate's Xtransceiver goes off, and he turns it on. "Hello?"
"Nate? Oh hi!" says his mom as she appears.
"Mom?"
"Hi Ms. Hakumei!" Rosa shouts on his end.
"Hi Rosa. Where are you guys?"
"Virbank."
"Wow, Virbank? That's where the Pokestar Studios is!" she squeals looking at the surroundings behind them. "There's also a complex where you can train your Pokemon in."
"Really?" He looks around to search for this said complex.
"Good luck out there honey. Rosa, look after him please." His mother cuts off.
Nate's stomach begins to growl. "Well, first thing's first!" He dashes to the Pokemon Center.
"Ah, wait up!" They cross over the street bridge connecting them, where they spot a younger woman with white hair and a purple, lite blue and black striped dress. She looks up to a sea captain of sorts.
"Roxie, don't try to stop me," says the older man. "I'm off to the Pokestar Studios to fulfill my dream; I will be a ship captain AND a movie star!"
"Get real, dad!" shouts Roxie. "If that ship doesn't move you'll be causing a lot of problems for people!"
The man turns around with a scowl. "Oh dear Roxie; you split your time between your responsibilities as a gym leader and a rock star. If you can do that so can I."
"That's different!" Her father walks north, leaving her. "You...You dim-witted, dense...YOU DUMBASS! Doing double duty isn't the problem; you're just causing problems for others! Why can't you understand that keeping people from going where they need to because of your desires is the decision of an idiot?!"
The livid Roxie storms south, and the two look at one another with shock. "...Okay..." Nate's stomach rumbles again. "And now I'm starving."
"Oh, come on you big baby!" Rosa drags him into the center, where he hits his head on a door. "Sorry!"
Later...
Nate drops his half eaten sandwich on the plate with a sigh. Rosa looks up to him and asks, "What's wrong? I thought you liked spinach and mayo on turkey."
"It's not that." Nate holds onto his head. "I've been feeling these short pains in my head lately. It's distracting."
"Short pains? Like what?" asks Rosa.
"Well, it's hard to explain-gah!" Nate grabs his head again.
"Nate!" Rosa goes to his side, pausing when she sees his eyes turn blue again. "I see. It's really happening."
"What's happening? What's going on?" A burst of energy releases from his body, and Nate collapses to the ground unconscious.
Rosa goes to her knees and shakes him, her eyes growing frantic. "Nate! NATE!"
Nurse Joy comes in and helps him up, taking to poor boy to the nearest hospital. A doctor looks after him and oversees his condition. "It seems he's passed out."
"But why?!" Rosa asks him.
"We don't know; but it's possible he'll wake up tomorrow morning, now that the worse is over." The doctor then walks out of the room, leaving Rosa there with the boy.
"Nate..." Rosa looks down upon the unconscious teen, her eyes slowly becoming teary. "Nate...I better let your mother know what happened." The bun haired girl takes out her Xtransceiver, that she left in her pocket after trying to program Juniper and Bianca's numbers in, and her Pokedex falls out too.
She reaches down to pick it up, and rising up it goes off. "Scanning...Scanning..."
"Scanning? For what?" Rosa looks at the device, seeing it pointing to Nate.
"Index found; Classification, Aura." Rosa's eyes widen in shock before looking upon Nate.
"...Nate?" Rosa drops her Pokedex. "What's happened to you?"
Rosa walks over to his bedside, falling down to her knees and falling to tears.
Daylight hits hours later. Up from the bed awakens Nate, who rubs his head. "Ow, my head..."
"Nate, you're up." Rosa looks towards the boy, holding his hat to him.
"Oh, morning. What happened?" asks the brown haired boy.
"You'll be fine. Let's get to your next badge." Rosa helps Nate out of bed, but he loses his balance. Seeing this she can't help but laugh a bit, glad to see him back to normal. After signing out and going to the Pokemon Center for breakfast, the trainers search the rest of the city.
Gazing up at the skies, Nate begins to go into deep thought. "I figure I should get some training done."
"You figure?" Rosa looks at him questionably.
"Let's check out that complex."
"Okay; it's just south of our position. It's where I got Magby." Nate grabs her hand and rushes south. The young woman blushes at the feel of his hands, her heart lifting with feeling. The two coincidentally come to the Virbank Complex, the male trainer knowing this after seeing a sign.
He looks around for wild Pokemon. "I wonder if there's anyone I can face."
"You could catch some Pokemon to become stronger; Ryoku and Takeru need more partners." Rosa points to a wild Magnemite floating in the air.
Nate takes out the Pokedex. "Magnemite, the Magnet Pokemon; The electromagnetic waves emitted by the units at the sides of Magnemite's head expel anti-gravity, which allows it to float. The faster the units at its sides rotate, the greater the magnetic force they generate."
"I'll catch it. Go, Takeru!" Nate sends out his Pokemon Takeru. "Ember!" The pig releases embers, taking it off guard. The floating magnet glares at Nate before using Thundershock on Takeru. "Dodge and use Nitro Charge!"
Takeru avoids the attack and strikes the magnet. "Alright, go Great Ball!" Magnemite dodges and flies away. "Damn...I guess not all Pokemon want to join a trainer."
"I'm sure that's obvious," Rosa tells him. Suddenly, Takeru begins to glow brightly. "Ah! Takeru's evolving!"
"Whoa!" The pig rises up on two legs, turning into Pignite.
...
The diamond protagonist opens his eyes. He looks around to see himself in a sort of cave. "What the hell? Where am I?"
"Nice of you to finally wake up, Lucas," says a cold and emotionless voice. A man approaches him from the shadows of the cave, his eyes glowing bright yellow. This man is revealed to be Kyurem.
"You! Why are you back!?" Lucas immediately picks himself up and summons an Aura Sphere. "Didn't get enough last time?"
"Drop your powers. I can take you anytime I want." Kyurem holds his right hand up, forming ice around it. "You're coming with me, because I want more."
"More what?" The copy of Lucas sends a blizzard of snow at him, capturing the poor boy in complete ice. "You're mine." A wide grin appears on the grey haired boy's face.
Yusei: Allot of cliffhangers this time TCM.
Manabu: It's not that bad.
Takeshi: Next time Nate meets a new addition to his team, before he duels against Roxie.
Manabu: ...Who are you?
Takeshi: I'm your successor, Takeshi Ishihara. I'm in LalunaticScribe's Infernity Mirage and an upcoming story by DancingQueen21...which is weird because I'm supposed to be for Digimon fics.
