Hi! We're uploading a lot lately for more viewers! To be honest, I don't really read Fanfics that are too short, and we want views and reviews! It really helps us make more chapters if we know you guys are reading! We just want to know that you care! :) It must get boring to see this kind of author's note, sorry! Also we believe that a Pokémon forgetting that it knows a move after it learns four moves is stupid, so we changed it. Only captured Pokémon know four moves due to a trainer's inability to remember all of the moves and because it's Pokémon league rules, so wild Pokémon do not have to obey that rule. If you want more, here's chapter four.
The two Pokémon's eyes widen as they saw the biggest city that they have ever encountered. "Let's just pass through this place." Suggested Denim. Levi nodded, "Agreed."
The two Pokémon entered the busy city nearly getting stepped on by humans. They quickly moved to more empty parts of the city. "The nerve of some people." Denim huffed. Levi nodded and glared at some weirdly dressed humans who got close. For a second he pick up an odd aura from them, but it vanished as quickly as it came. Denim started walking forward again passing up a brightly colored building. Inside they saw the two trainers from the lake.
"I swear they are following us." Denim commented.
"Or maybe a series of strange coincidences." Levi pondered. Denim shrugged as much as her little Shinx shoulders would let her.
"Let's train today." Denim said. Levi gave her a weird look. "What?" She asked annoyed.
"It just that I thought you wouldn't like to train because you seem obsessed with food." He answered.
Denim gave him a look that clearly said that she was offended. "That's so shallow. Just so you know, I don't think about food all the time. I want to get stronger too." The Shinx's voice trailed off.
The Riolu grimaced. "Sorry, that was insensitive of me."
"Yeah. It was."
The two Pokémon reached the middle of the city when they were presented with three different choices. "Let's head east to route 203, the Pokémon should be just the right level." Denim suggested. Levi nodded and the two headed off to route 203.
Suddenly, a Shinx appeared from the grass. Denim launched herself at the other Pokémon. The opponent used tackle on Denim and she struggled beneath the weight of the heavier Shinx. Denim sprang from beneath the Shinx and launched herself at it. "Ouuf!" Air was knocked out of the opponent. "Give up!" Cried the opponent. "You disturbed my nap!" It shot a menacing glare at Denim. She could feel her defenses falling. While Denim was distracted, the shinx hit her hard with tackle and she retaliated with tackle. The two tumbled over each other in the grass. Levi was nearby, keeping close track of who was who, lost sight of Denim and was utterly confused. One shinx tackled the other again and it went limp as it fainted. Denim could feel herself leveling up.
She beat 7 more Pokémon and decided that was enough for now. Even though she hated to even think it, Levi had the right to train too.
"Finally letting someone else step up to the plate?" Levi grunted as he passed her.
"Phshhh." She shifted her paws and forced a frown onto her face. "Don't read into it."
Levi ignored her as he walked into the grass. A Starly flew over his head and landed in front of him. Instantly he attacked using quick attack. The starly cried out as it was hit. Starly bounced back quickly using a quick attack of its own. Levi tried to dodge but was still caught by the fast moving bird. He grunted as he rolled and flipped. He skidded to a stop and quickly got up. Starly was coming at him with a tackle. Levi somersaulted to the side effectively dodging the starly's attack. He used quick attack again. He hit the starly fully in the back. Starly didn't take any time to recover instead growling right in his face. Levi frowned as he felt his attack go down. "I need to finish this quickly." Levi muttered. He jumped back and used quick attack once more. Starly had fainted and Levi felt himself level up. He turned to smile at Denim but quickly stopped when he remembered that she still hated him and he still disliked her, just not as much as before.
After knocking out more Pokémon and reaching level twelve, he stopped. He was very tired and on the edge of fainting himself, only endure had saved him. He had also learned a new move that made battling a little easier, counter.
They decided to go back to Jubilife to heal up. After eating a couple of oran berries each, Denim decided to go grab a bite to eat. She was waiting around near a meat cart for someone to drop some scraps. When she got a decent pile of meat, Denim started back to Levi. Near a crossroad, a Zubat bumped into her, causing Denim to drop her pickings.
"Hey watch out, no eyes!" She shouted.
"I'll be taking this!" The zubat swooped around her and stole her hard-earned meal.
"Give that back, you jerk!" Denim really wished she knew an electric type move other than charge. Denim rocketed past the escaping Zubat and slid in front of its path.
"Step off, this food is property of team Galactic now!" The Zubat screeched.
"Dork face!" Denim sprang up and landed squarely on the Zubat's back, causing it to go off course. The zubat swerved wildly, desperately trying to fly straight. All Denim could do was hold on tightly to the Zubat's back.
"Why are you so persistent!?" The Zubat swerved around a building wildly. They were nearing a willow tree.
"Yo, buddy!" the Zubat called to a Wurmple near the tree.
"Levi!" Denim called at her partner who was near. Suddenly, Levi was a whole lot closer to her. Before anyone knew what happened, the two pairs crashed into one another head-on.
Levi was waiting for Denim to return with the food. He looked around before finding the perfect place to sit. Just a little walk away there was a willow tree, it would be a perfect place to sit after all the hard training they did today. He quickly walked over there only to be rudely tackled as soon as he got there. "Hey, this spot is for the Pokémon of Team Galactic only." A Wurmple sneered. Levi glared at the bug type Pokémon.
"But I saw this place first." Levi protested. "What even is Team Galactic?"
"Wouldn't you like to know, you trainerless reject?" The Wurmple said snidely. Levi froze.
"What did you say?" He asked after a moment.
The Wurmple laughed cruelly. "Who would throw away a Riolu if it wasn't defective?" A dark aura clouded Levi, his eyes took a strange glow, his teeth were bared, and his fists were clenched. Somewhere someone called his name but he paid them no attention, this Wurmple was going to get what it deserves. He moved to attack the laughing Wurmple, but before he could, a Zubat came crashing from out of nowhere and hit the Wurmple. Levi only had a second to react before Denim crashed into him head on.
"My head hurts…" Denim was upside down, propped up against the trunk of the tree with the classic swirly-fainted-eyes. "What did you do?" Levi asked from his position next to her. He was in the same knocked out state. "I wanted food ….and the zubat….and flying…..and on its back...and ...everything hurts…" Denim groaned.
"You ruined my vengeance." Levi muttered. "Uh-huh" Denim said distractedly. "Uh-huh…" Denim fell into a light sleep. Levi looked at the sleeping Shinx before his eyes widened in realization.
"You can't sleep." He said shaking her, "That Pokémon implied that he had a trainer, and if their trainers see us they may try to capture us."
Denim snapped awake. "I can't have a trainer!" She said, wildly looking around. "Let's blow this pop-stand!" Denim scurried away from the scene, with Levi on her heels.
"On the bright side we both leveled up." Levi said.
