Here's the fourth chapter of...

LET THE RAIN COME DOWN!! :)

On a side note, remember how I said Faye was basically me? She's not. She's just got my talent...

Chazz slowly strode away from the Suicune dorm. In one hand was a wooden box with a velvet cushion. In the other was a pokeball. His eyes hid no pain as he took up a jagged rock. He stabbed it into the earth, making a hole just big enough for the box. He placed the ball inside the box, and looked at it, holding it with two hands.

"I'm sorry," he said to it. "If they don't believe in my strength, I'll have to show it to them myself. I'm so sorry... Dragonair." He thought he heard Dragonair's pained wail, but he shut the lid, put it in the hole, and covered it with dirt. He stood up, fists clenched. With a brave face yet again, he spun on his heels, and started to head back to his dorm.

He didn't notice the pair of brown eyes watching him.


"Hey, Jaden," a voice reached his ears. He opened his eyes to find Alexis hovering over him.

"Hn? Oh, hey, Alexis."

"Where's Syrus? You're usually with him," she asked. "Not that you're never with Faye, but..."

"He's battling Mr. Ryuga," he told her.

"Ah, the teacher in training," she pondered. "I've heard some bad rumours about him."

"W-what?" Jaden cried. "What rumours!?"

"Well, for one fact that you have to defeat 50 students, right?" she said, holding up five fingers. Jaden nodded. "Well, so far, he's got 45 victories."

"Wow, 45!" Jaden laughed.

"Well, I've heard that he's been taking the student's most rare item," Alexis said. Jaden's eyes widened.

"Really?"

"It's just a rumour!" Alexis assured her friend. "It might not be true." Jaden nodded slowly.


"Agh!" Syrus shouted as his Pelipper got blasted with an electrical shock. "But why?" he muttered, dropping to his knees in hopelessness. "Why was Pelipper confused?" Mr. Ryuga patted his Electabuzz proudly.

"I'll be taking your Mystic Water, now," Mr. Ryuga said, taking the water-power-upper from Pelipper. Mr. Ryuga calmly left the arena. Syrus resisted the urge to cry, and managed to leave the arena, but collapsed in the hall. That's where Faye and Jaden found him.

"Syrus!" Faye cried, kneeling down next to him. "Are you okay?" Syrus shook his head.

"R-Ryuga, he took--he took my Mystic Water..." Syrus hiccupped. Jaden gasped.

"But that was your rarest item!" he cried. Syrus didn't answer. "Where is this guy!? I need to battle him!"

"Calm down, Jaden," Faye attempted. "It'll be fiiiiine." Jaden glared at her.

"How can you be so sure!?"

"He's right behind you," Faye giggled. Mr. Ryuga put a hand on Jaden's shoulder, making him jump.

"You wanted to battle?" he sneered. Jaden put a serious look on his face.

"Of course!"

"Then let's go." Mr. Ryuga whirled around and started walking towards the arena. Faye, Syrus, and Jaden followed.


It was a grassy field this time. Jaden and Mr. Ryuga stood at opposite ends of the field. With a smirk, Mr. Ryuga sent out Electabuzz.

"Go, Snorlax!" Jaden cried. The big, fat pokemon took up most of Jaden's field. Mr. Ryuga twisted the ring on his finger slightly.

"Go, Electabuzz, use Low Kick!" Electabuzz jumped forward and began sliding on his legs. While it was super-effective, and did even more damage because of Snorlax's weight, Snorlax barely budged.

"Snorlax, use Body Slam!" Snorlax hoisted itself up, a little dizzy, and lurched forward onto Electabuzz. Little sparks covered Snorlax's body, signifying that it was paralyzed by Electabuzz's Static.

"Use Thunderpunch!" Mr. Ryuga ordered. Electabuzz whirred its arm in a circle before socking Snorlax in the gut. Snorlax grunted.

"Use Rest!" Jaden yelled. Snorlax immediately fell asleep, healing all status problems. "Now use Snore!" Mr. Ryuga was pretty sure that Snorlax didn't hear him, how deeply it was sleeping. However, Snorlax let loose a loud snore that hurt Electabuzz's ears. Electabuzz stumbled back a few steps. Mr. Ryuga's face darkened.

"Electabuzz, use Thunder!" Electabuzz spun his arms to generate his electricity, and bolts of lightning tore through the air, striking the still sleeping Snorlax. Jaden growled.

"Snorlax, use body slam!!" the lazy Pokemon slowly got up before falling flat on Electabuzz. Suddenly, as Snorlax stood again, he twirled dizzily. "Snorlax, what's wrong!?" Jaden cried. Mr. Ryuga laughed.

"It looks like your Snorlax is confused, boy," he snickered.

"But how?" Jaden wondered. "Whatever, Snorlax, use rock throw!" Snorlax lifted up a huge rock (I have no idea where the pokemon get these things) and tossed it in the air, only for the rock to have it hit him. "Grr... Again, use rock throw!" This time, Snorlax hurled it towards Electabuzz, but missed by five feet.

Think, Jaden, Think! Suddenly, Jaden whipped out a blue flute and blew a long, deep, peaceful note. With a jerk, Snorlax snapped out of confusion. "Rock throw!" Jaden ordered again.

"But how!?" Mr. Ryuga shouted. "Thunderpunch!" Electabuzz powered up a punch to hit the rock, and as the two attacks collided, an explosion ensued. After it cleared, Electabuzz and his owner lie on the floor. Faye and Syrus rushed to Jaden, cheering. The rest of the audience burst into applause.

"Jaden! Jaden! Jaden!"

Chazz stared down from the balcony, standing alone. That brat, he's got pure luck on his side. He has no idea what it's like to be a real trainer. Suddenly, Faye looked up and gazed into Chazz's eyes. For a split second, they remained still, before Chazz abruptly turned and left.

Meanwhile, with his spoiled Gloom, Dr. Crowler was practically crying. You let me down, Ryuga!


There, I hope you liked it! I'm doing the battles as best I can... R&R PLEASE!!
