Chapter 4
-On the Last chapter of Journey Through Hoenn-
After a while of walking some guy approached us. After a closer look a realized it was Drake.
"Yo Andrew, lets battle." He said taking out a pokeball.
"Its dark out and I'm hungry and tired." I complained. "Lets battle tomorrow."
"Fine." Drake grumbled pocketing his poke ball. He then noticed Kendra.
"Who's she?" He asked.
"This is Kendra. Kendra this is my douche bag rival Drake." I said.
"H-hi." Kendra said quietly. Drake just nodded at her. He pulled a sleeping bag and laid it on the ground. I did the same thing, I guess we could camp here for tonight. I then noticed Kendra didn't have a sleeping bag.
"Kendra you can use my sleeping bag." I offered.
"No I couldn't do that." She said shaking her head.
"You two can share." Drake pointed out in a uninterested matter. Me and Kendra both blushed. My sleeping was big enough for us too so I guess we could.
"Would that be ok with you Kendra?" I asked not looking at her. She just nodded. I got in my sleeping bag then moved over so Kendra could get in. She laid next to me and I noticed she was blushing. Well, this was one awkward ass situation.
"Oh yeah, Andrew got him a girl sleeping with him. Now its time for some bow chicka bow wow." Drake said laughing. Me and Kendra faces turned red.
"Shut up and go to asleep Drake." I said.
"Bitch please." He said back. Bastard. I fell asleep a few minutes later. When I woke up I saw that Kendra had snuggled up with me and her arm was on my chest. What the hell was I, a Teddiursa? Drake seemed to be waking up and chuckled when he saw the situation I was in. Im not saying I didn't like it, but it was probably a accident. She didn't like me, right?
"Hey Drake help me up." I said.
"Will you have a battle with me?" He asked. Why was he so obsessed with battling me?
"Sure whatever. Now get her off me." I pleaded. I couldn't reach the zipper with Kendra in the way.
"Fine. I better get my battle." Drake said crouching down and unzipping my sleeping bag. I gently pulled Kendra off of me then got out of the sleeping bag.
"Time to battle." Drake said pulling out his pokeball.
"We can't battle with Kendra right her." I pointed out. Drake just sighed.
"Kendra wake up." He said lightly shaking her. She opened her eyes and yawned. Aw, so cute. Damnit. I think I might have feelings for her. I wonder if she felt the same way. Kendra stood up then rolled up my sleeping bag. I thanked her and put it in my back pack.
"Alright, now lets battle." Drake said throwing his pokeball in the air. The pokeball shot a beam of white light releasing Aron. I sent out Marshtomp.
"Marshtomp use Water Gun." I said. Marshtomp shot a blast of water directly in Ironhead's face.
"Ironhead use Tackle." Drake said. Ironhead moved abnormally fast for a Aron and tackled Marshtomp, hitting her in the stomach and sending her into a tree. Damn, that had to hurt. Marshtomp weak stood up, ready for her next command.
"Marshtomp use Mud-Slap." I said. Marshtomp ran at Ironhead and kicked mud at it. Ironhead seemed to be hurt but not as much as Marshtomp.
"Ironhead finish this with Metal Claw." Drake said smirking arrogantly. Ironhead's claws glowed bright as it slashed Marshtomp's stomach knocking it out. I returned her to her ball then sent Lombre out.
"Can't believe you got a shiny." Drake said.
"Yeah I'm just that awesome. Lombre use Nature Power." I called. Lombre glowed a little bit and then started charging up solar energy.
"Ironhead Iron Defense." Drake said hoping this would keep his Pokemon from being knocked out. Ironhead glowed a little bit now seeming shinier.
"Lombre use Solar Beam." I said smirking. Lombre opened it's mouth and fired a powerful green beam at Lairon knocking the steel type out. Drake sighed and recalled his Pokemon.
"Time to battle, Inferno." Drake said sending out a Charmeleon. I wasn't worried. Lombre was part water-type.
"Charmeleon use Metal Claw." Drake said. Damnit I hate the move. Charmeleon's claws glowed as it ran at Lombre, preparing to slash at it.
"Lombre dodge then use Fakeout." I said. Lombre ducked under Charmeleon's claws then clapped in the red lizard's face. This seemed to make Charmeleon flinch as Lombre then scratched it's stomach.
"Flamethrower." Drake said. Charmeleon shot a large stream of fire the made a direct hit on Lombre's face. My lily pad Pokemon fell to the ground, knocked out. Drake's Pokemon were very strong.
"Go Magikarp!" I exclaimed. Magikarp appeared then started flapping on the ground repeating its name over and over. Drake just burst out laughing while Kendra giggled. Even Charmeleon seemed to be laughing.
"Magikarp use Tackle attack." I said. Magikarp tackled Charmeleon in the stomach, knocking the fire-type down. Drake was shocked but got over it quickly.
"Magikarp keep tackling it." I said. That was my great strategy. Magikarp just kept tackling Charmeleon, not giving it a chance to fight back. After a while of tackle attacks Charmeleon was knocked out.
"That's bullshit." Drake said returning his Pokemon. "Go Bagon."
Bagon laughed at the sight of the Magikarp. Why does everyone laugh at Magikarps?
"Don't let them get you down Magikarp. You can kick that Bagon's ass!" I exclaimed. Magikarp started glowing brightly and getting bigger. When the white light faded my measly Magikarp was a mighty Gyarados! Gyarados let out a roar as it glared at Bagon.
"Hell yeah!" I exclaimed. Drake didn't look so confident anymore. I took out my pokedex then looked at my atrocious pokemon's attacks.
"Use Bite." I called. Gyarados let out a roar before it bit down on Bagon. The dragon-type was instantly knocked out. Drake just sighed in defeat and recalled his pokemon. I recalled my Gyarados. Kendra walked up to me and congratulated me on my victory. I blushed and thanked her. Drake gave me his Pokenav' number then started walking away.
"Ha I beat you!" I called out.
"Bitch please." I heard him say. Me and Kendra just headed North still looking for a possible way to Dewford Town. We walked up to a shoreline when Kendra spoke up.
"Umm why don't you have Gyarados take us their." She suggested. I nodded and called out Gyarados. I grabbed Kendra's sides and lifted her onto my water types back. She blushed when I touched her. That sounded wrong.. Anyway, I got on top of Gyarados's back. I asked him if he knew where Dewford Island was, which he nodded and began swimming out to sea. We were swimming for a long ass time. Kendra looked tired but didnt fall asleep in fear of falling off. After 30 minutes (I think) of endless swimming we approached a small island/town. By now it was night time so I would fight the gym tomorrow. Me and Kendra got off, allowing me to recall Gyarados. Kendra looked tired as shit so I made sure she didn't pass out by holding her hand. We both blush but didn't say anything as we entered the Pokemon Center. I got us a two bed room and Nurse Joy handed me the key. I thanked her then went up stairs. After searching for room 234 I found it and entered the room. It was small, with two plain, average sized beds. There was a small bathroom though. I let go of Kendra's hand after realizing I was still holding it.
"Sorry." I apologized. She didn't responded, just fall asleep on her bed. I did the same and was asleep in no time. When I woke up Kendra was already up and in the bathroom. I sat up and stretched my arms. Kendra came out the bathroom.
"Ready to go?" I asked.
"Yeah." She said. We checked out the Pokemon Center and I told Kendra I wanted to check out Granite Cave. It was about time I caught a new pokemon. Granite Cave wasn't that big nor that dark. I sent out Alpha just in case we were attacked by wild pokemon. I saw a Sableye a few feet away of us. "Alpha use Bite." I said. Alpha ran and bit Sableye, taking it by surprise. It turned around and scratched Alpha on the nose.
"Yo human why is you attacking me?" the Sableye asked me. Holy shit, this pokemon just spoke English. I looked at Kendra and she was just as shocked as me.
"How can you talk?" I asked.
"Man my trainer taught me too but I left him cause he was real whack. You know what Im sayin man?" The Sableye asked me. It must've had a ghetto ass trainer to talk like it was black.
"Well now Im defiantly going to catch you. Alpha use Tackle." I said determined to catch a talking pokemon. Alpha tackled Sableye to the ground. Sableye shot a ray of darkness into Alpha's face but it didn't do a lot of damage So it knew Night shade, it must've been really strong.
"Alpha use Bite." I said. Alpha tried to bite Sableye but he jumped out the way then scratched Alpha. I returned Alpha and sent out Marshtomp.
"Marshtomp use Water Gun." I said. Marshtomp blasted Sableye in the face, knocking Sableye down. I chucked a pokeball at it making the ghost/dark type go inside the red ball. The ball shook a little bit before it stopped moving.
"Kick ass! I got a talking pokemon.
"Congratulations." Kendra said. I thanked her and she blushed.
"Alright, first we go to the pokemon center then to the gym." I said. We exited Granite Cave and then went to the Pokemon Center. I gave my pokeballs to Nurse Joy then sat down with Kendra. I just had to find out whether or not she liked me. I haven't even known here that long, only 3 weeks. Nurse Joy rung a bell at the counter signaling my pokemon were down. I went over to her and got them. After getting Kendra we left the center and headed for the gym.
"So do you know what pokemon your going to use/" Kendra asked. I hadn't even thought about. Should've caught a Tailow.
"Well I know he uses fighting types. I guess Marshtomp, Lombre, and Gyarados will be okay." I said.
I entered the gym and saw the leader a guy wearing an orange shirt a black shorts meditating on the other side of the arena.
"I'm here for a battle." I said wondering if he was asleep. Brawly stood up and took out his pokeball.
"Alright bro. It's a 2 on 2 and you can switch pokemon." Brawly explained. "Go Meditite."
"Go Marshtomp." I said sending out my mud fish pokemon.
"Marshtomp use Bide." I said. Marshtomp had known that move for a long time but I never had her use it. Marshtomp glowed faintly as it began storing energy
"Hurry and knock it out with Hi Jump Kick." Brawly said. Meditite jumped high in the air and came down with it's leg stretched out. It made contact and kicked Marshtomp right in the kisser. Marshtomp then glowed brightly before firing a white beam of energy at Meditite. The attack hit Meditite sending it back a few feet. A quick Water Gun finished the fighting type off.
"Well done." Brawly said recalling his Meditite. The gym leader then sent out Machop.
:Marshtomp use mud slap." Marshtomp kicked a wave of mud at Machop hitting it and doing a lot of damage.
"Machop use karate chop." Machop chopped Marshtomp on the head knocking my water type out. I recalled Marshtomp and sent out Lombre.
"Lombre use nature power." I said. Lombre opened it's mouth and released a burst of stars that hit Machop in the face.
"Machop use low kick." Brawly commanded. Machop ran at Lombre then slid on the ground kicking Lombre in the knee.
"Lombre use absorb." I said. Lombre absorbed a little amount of energy from Machop.
"Machop use mega punch." Brawly said hoping to finish off Lombre. Machop ran at Lombre with it's fist glowing white.
"Lombre dodge then use nature power." I said. I wish Lombre knew some better moves. Maybe I can find somebody who sells Tms. Lombre shot a stream of stars at Machop, doing a enough damage to knock it out. Brawly returned his pokemon. He walked over to my side of the arena with a TM and badge in his hand.
"Congratulations, you earned the Knuckle Badge and the TM Bulk Up." The gym leader said giving me the items he just talked about.
I thanked him and we left the gym.
"Look it's a Feebas." Kendra exclaimed pointing to said fish pokemon swimming in the ocean close to use. Feebas were like the Hoenn version of Magikarp. Very common, only knew weak attacks, and both leveled into their much stronger forms at level 20.
"Wingull use wing attack on Feebas." Kendra said sending out her pokemon. Wingull flew at Feebas, hitting the water-type with its wings.
"That should do enough damage." Kendra said tossing a pokeball at it. The ball didn't even move, being successfully caught.
"Yay!" She exclaimed happily.
"Alright time to go to Slateport City." I said preparing to send out Gyarados.
"Look it's a boat." Kendra said pointing to a boat the was at the dock.
"I guess we can ride a boat." I said sighing. We walked over to the boat. The captain was the old man that I got that Wingull for.
"You're the young man who got back my Wingull." He said. "My name is Capt. Briney."
"I'm Andrew and this is my friend Kendra." I introduced.
"Would you like me to take you some where?" Capt. Briney asked.
"Slateport City." I said. We got on the boat and Capt. Briney set sail for Slateport. Me and Kendra sat down in some chairs that were in the back of the boat. The boat ride was short and we were at Slateport City in no time at all. I thanked Capt. Briney and left the boat with Kendra. Slateport was a big city with a lot of store and people walking around.
"Lets go to the market. I wanna see if they have any Tms." I said. We walked around for a while until we saw the open market. There were tents everywhere. There were tents that sold pokemon, pokemon dolls, clothes, pokemon-themed clothes, battle items, and other stuff. I walked to the tent that sold Tms.
"Hello young man how can I help you?" A lady behind a table asked. The table had many TMs on it, each TM having a card with its name on it.
"What pokemon are you purchasing a TM for?" She asked.
"My Lombre and Mightyena." I told her.
"Well for Lombre we have bullet seed and water pulse. For Mightyena all we have is shadow ball." She explained.
"Ok I'll have those three." I said. She put the Tms in a bag. "What do you have for a Gyarados?"
"Earthquake." She said. That would be a good move against Wattson's electric pokemon. I got the Tms and paid 2500 for it. After we left I looked at how I only had a small amount of money left. We walked around a little more, Kendra wanting to buy stuff. She bought black t-shirt with a Carvanah, saying it was cute. I liked it cause it really brought our her "assets". Heh heh, perverted thought.
After looking around I noticed all the Team Aqua grunts.
"God why are all these grunts around here?" I asked out loud. Kendra just shrugged her shoulders.
"Lets go to the museum." She suggested.
"Ok." I agreed. I never went to a museum as a kid and it would fun. We went to the museum and entered. The fee was only 50 poke' per person we got in. I noticed that there was a shit load of aqua goons in here. When we walked in a lot of them were staring at us, mostly staring at Kendra. Those bastards. A few of them approached us, eyeing Kendra's body while licking their lips.
"Hey girly, why don't you come with us?" One of them asked. Kendra was to scared to reply.
"Why do you just back the fuck off bastard?" I said pulling Kendra closer to me. I wouldn't let any of theses dirt bags touch her. I sent out Alpha who growled when he saw the Team Aqua grunts. The goons sent out a zubat, two poochyena, two Wingull, and a Corphish. I sent out Marshtomp and looked at the 7 pokemon in front of me. The odds were definitely not in my favor.
"Mawile use Bite." A voice said. I turned around and saw Drake commanding a Mawile that bit onto a Zubat.
"Yo." He said smirking
"Nice to see you. Your actually helpful for once." I said also smirking at my rival. "Marshtomp use water gun. Alpha use bite." My pokemon attacked the enemy pokemon. A battle broke out and Kendra sent out her pokemon to help us. The whole time I held Kendra close to me. I don't know why. The leader sent out a Crawdaunt that snapped it's claws dangerously..
"Crawdaunt use vice grip." the team aqua elite said. I was about to tell my pokemon to dodge when I felt a burning sensation on my chest. I looked down to see a large gash on my chest. That Crawdaunt had attacked me.
"Oh my god Andrew are you okay?" Kendra asked supporting me stand up as I fell to my knees. Blood was coming out my mouth. My vision was getting a little hazy.
"Ke-Kendra I want you to know that I li-I like." I couldn't finish my sentence. The last thing I remember is Kendra crying on my chest and Drake sending out his Charmeleon.
