Heroes of Unova Book One

The Race to Save the Region

Chapter Three

Back on the Road: Attack of the Purrloins!

ACCUMALA TOWN

"Trainers...begin!"

"Rain, Water Gun!"

"Zorua, Dark Pulse!"

Neither trainer had wasted a second after Felix's go-ahead, and Vikkiy found herself hiding slightly behind Kyo in case things got too out of hand. The two of them were standing a fair bit away from the battlefield so they weren't in the crossfire.

"Okay Rain, up and Water Gun!"

"Osha!" The water type agreed, launching himself in the air and unleashing another powerful jet of water that only barely hit the black fox who was running across the battlefield.

"Zorua, Shadow Ball!" Landon smirked as he crossed his arms, seemingly convinced that he had this battle in the bag.

The brunette across the battlefield winced as the attack hit Rain as he landed on the ground. "Shake it off! You saw Adam battle earlier; get in close with a Razor Shell and Tackle!"

"Wott!" With speed almost as fast as Vikkiy's Snivy, the water-type crossed the grass and rammed into Zorua, slicing the dark type across the stomach.

The effect was instaneous; Zorua, who didn't see much battle action, rolled across the ground, clearly unable to fight anymore.

"Zorua is down! Mikaela wins!" Felix announced.

"Nice battle," Landon said, returning Zorua to his Pokeball.

"You too," The brunette smiled.

"Guys that was awesome!" Vikkiy grinned.

"Now that the battles are over, shall we get back on the road?" Kyo suggested.

"mate, I think we need to get our Pokemon healed first," Felix pointed out. "And LA needs to get some gear ready to go."

"I'll meet you guys at the gate to Route 2 in a hour?" Said male suggested.

"A hour it is," Mikaela nodded as they began to trek back into town.

ROUTE TWO

"Arceus this place is almost as boring as Route 1."

"Dont you dare start singin' again mate," Felix threatened as the five of them continued to meander up the quiet little path that, like Route 1, was lined with evergreen trees that made the most paranoid of trainers feel like they were being cornered.

"Dammit Felix-sorry Mikaela-I wasn't going to sing!" The brunette protested.

"Surrrreeee ya weren't," The black-haired male said sarcastically, shifting the bag that rested on his left shoulder.

Vikkiy stuck her tongue out at him and kicked him in the shin.

"Fuck!"

Mikaela sighed, rubbing her forehead.

"Enough," Kyo said sharply, dragging Vikkiy away from Felix.

"Can't you guys go two seconds without arguing?" Landon wanted to know.

"Uhmmmm yeah no," The brunette replied, stopping for a second to retrieve her water bottle from her bag.

"Wow," The white haired male said.

"They argue like if they don't, they'll die. You get used to it," Kyo informed him, tugging on Vikkiy's wrist so she kept walking.

"We only argue because Felix is a big meanie head!"

"Wow, Vik, switch on the child mode today eh?" Said male smirked.

"Shut up Felix!" The brunette snapped, folding her arms as she glared down at the ground.

"Guys, your arguing is getting really old really fast," Mikaela frowned.

Vikkiy instantly looked guilty. "Sorry Ash..."

"It's okay. Just, tone it down a bit?"

Felix was about to respond, but stopped. "Hey...do you guys hear that?"

"Hear what?" Mikaela asked.

"Aieeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

"Yep, heard it!" The other brunette said, squinting to see a giant dust cloud in the distance. "Uhm, guys? That doesn't look so good..."

"That's a person, isn't it?" Kyo asked. "But what's following her-"

"A bunch of angry Purrloins!" Mikaela gasped.

"Solosis-Ouch!-Confusion!" The female voice said, as she was finally close enough for them to hear her.

"I say we help her out," Vikkiy released Adam. "Use Vine Whip!"

"Sni!" He responded, dashing towards the female and her Psychic Pokemon.

"Zorua, Tepig! Dark Pulse and Ember!"

"Guide, you use Ember too!"

"Lillipup, Roar! Rain, Water Gun!"

"Tynamo, ThunderShock!"

With the eight Pokemon distracting the massive mob of Purrloin, the female came stumbling towards them. She had long glossy black hair that was tied into a high ponytail, and sparkling blue eyes. She wore black jeans, a purple shirt, and a short-sleeve black zip-up jacket.

"Thanks!" She gasped, doubling over as she finally reached them.

"No problem. The name's-Adam, Tackle!" Vikkiy cut herself off.

"How about we wait for introductions until after the crazy Purrloins are gone!" Felix suggested.

"Good idea," The new female agreed, pulling a Pokeball off her belt. "Go, Tirtouga!" She called, and a blue turtle appeared before them. "Use Water Gun!"

"How many of these things are there?" Kyo asked. "Guide, Astonish!"

"I say we run for Striaton with our Pokemon using long range attacks to cover us," Landon suggested as his Zorua fired off another Dark Pulse.

"Agreed!" Mikaela and Vikkiy chorused.

"Here's what we'll do," Kyo said. "Ash, keep having Lillipup use Roar. Felix, have Tynamo use ThunderWave. Vikkiy, Adam should use Vine Whip if any of them get too close. The rest of the Pokemon should keep using long range attacks. Guys...don't stop running."

"Let's move!" Vikkiy cried, and they all took off running, their Pokemon firing off various moves.

"Zorua, Dark Pulse! Tepig, Fire Pledge!"

"Rain, keep on using Water Gun!"

"You too Tirtouga!"

"Shit," Vikkiy panted as she tried to keep up with the males' long legs. "I seriously need to work out more!"

"We're almost there," Kyo said reassuringly, not sounding out of breath at all.

"After this, if I ever see a Purrloin again..." Mikaela trailed off, not needing to finish her sentence.

"Agreed," The blackette with them spoke as she stumbled. "Seriously, this is why I hate Purrloins!"

"Why don't you two start an anti-Purrloin club then," Felix said sarcastically as they rounded a bend, finally being able to see Striaton in the distance.

"OH THANK YOU ARCEUS!" Vikkiy gasped, somehow managing to run faster.

"Vik, wait up!" Mikaela yelped, dashing after her as Rain hopped up on her shoulder.

"Safety!" They could hear Vikkiy yell as she ran into Striaton.

"Lillipup, one more Roar!" The other brunette ordered as they all entered Striaton, heading towards the Pokecenter.

Landon looked behind them. "We lost them."

"Oh thank Arceus," The blackette sighed as they slowed down, entering the Pokecenter. Vikkiy was already there, getting Adam healed.

"I have a question for you," Kyo asked the female. "Why were they chasing you?"

"...I might have kicked one of them...?"

They all sweatdropped.

Vikkiy returned to the group. "Now that we're no longer being chased by angry dark-type cat Pokemon, how about some introductions?"

"Right! I live here in Striaton, my name's Lolita Brown, thank you for helping me out!" Lolita bowed.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Vikkiy Black, from Nuvema!"

"Kyo Averis, also from Nuvema. We were happy to help."

"I'm Mikaela Cody, again from Nuvema."

"Felix Gale over here, also from Nuvema."

"I'm Landon Noire, from Accumala. Call me LA."

"Vikkiy, Kyo, Mikaela, Felix, LA," Lolita said, as if trying to commit their names to memory. "Thanks again for helping me out."

"We were caught in the crossfire, too," Landon reminded her.

"Eh-heh...right," The blackette said sheepishly. "Is there anyway I could repay the favor?"

Felix and Vikkiy looked at each other.

"Yes, actually...Where's the gym?"

A/N: Lolita Brown belongs to lightwolfheart.

Woohoo! Six out eleven OCs present, and we're only on the third chapter. I'm on a roll!

I've decided on two pairings so far, but if there's someone you want your OC to end up with tell me!

Next chapter: The group does some training in the Dreamyard, and has their first interaction with members of Team Triad! I'm getting excited just thinking about writing it!

Thank you to all my reviewers, hope you review again this chapter!
