A/N:
Hey everyone! Thanks for the reviews/favs/alerts! I really appreciate it! Sorry for this being like three months late. I'm going to try my best to get chapter five up soon as possible!
Responding to some reviewers:
Casamora:
"Kuro" doesn't look exactly like Touya/Black/whatever you want to call him. They're similar, but different at the same time. i.e: clothes, eye color, facial structure. So if I do use Touya he won't freak out and think "Kuro" is a clone or a long lost twin XD
Madame Rodoshe:
I'm sorry but your idea for this chapter will be not be used. I already had chapter four planned out in my head. I'm not saying it was bad, but when I write stories I plan out every chapter in advance. I do that so I don't get writer's block. I haven't done that yet for this story because I pretty much knew what the first four chapters would be like in my head. After this chapter I'm going to sit down and write out each future chapters' summaries. Thank you for your idea though! I love the fact that you guys I want to inspire me! :)
Enjoy chapter four!
Mixed Emotions

Chapter Four: Win! Or Else...
"Lord N!" cries out one of the men. "What are you doing here?"
"The question should be what are you two doing here?" asks N unhappily.
"Well," says the other man. "We're just camping out here for the night."
"Really? I think you're lying Haru."
"I am not!" says Haru defending himself and then turns to look at the other man. "Right, Yoru?"
Yoru nods his head in agreement.
"Well, I think you're both lying. I heard the people around this area talking about missing Pokémon from the Day Care Center," says N.
"Maybe they ran away," says Haru.
"How could eight Pokémon run away when they were in a fenced in yard?"
"Alright it was us!" says Yoru who can't take the pressure anymore. "We're just freeing them from their trainers."
"More like stealing them," says N and folds his arms across his chest.
"Huh?"
"You should be convincing their trainers to free them not steal them. Now, I want you two leave this area at once."
"Yes, sir," says the both men in unison and bow.
"Good," says N and turns around and leaves.
The two Team Plasma members are quiet for a bit and sit down near the fire. They wait to talk for a bit until N is out of earshot.
"We should probably head back," says Yoru.
"No. We need to recapture those eight Pokémon," says Haru in disagreement.
"Didn't you hear Lord N? He wants us to leave them alone."
"I don't see what's wrong with stealing them. Ghetsis said we could."
"N is our King!"
"Who cares? Ghetsis should be our king not Lord N. He's more of a leader than Lord N is. All he cares about is getting that stupid legendary dragon."
"Okay, fine we'll stay. There's no way I can change your mind," says Yoru giving in.
"Good," says Haru and looks at his watch. "It's ten o' clock. When, it's midnight we'll head on over there and take back the Pokémon that they brought back."
Meanwhile, the king of Team Plasma makes his way back to his belongings. He quickly opens his bag and pulls out the clothes he uses for his disguise. The king changes into the clothes and then pulls out a mirror and a wig. He also gets out a small lantern and turns it on. The light from lantern is able him to see well.
N sits down on the ground and unties his pony tail. He places the hair tie on his wrist and begins to put his hair up into a bun. Once his hair is in a bun, N ties it up with the hair tie and takes the wig and places it on his head. He then picks up his mirror to make sure that he has no green hair sticking out.
'Perfect,' he thinks to himself.
N then grabs his bag and pulls out a contact container. He opens it up and then grabs solution out of his bag and squirtshis contacts with the solution. N then puts each contact into his eyes and now his eye color changes to green.
The king then puts away all his belongings and stands up. He places the strap from the bag on his shoulder and then goes on his way back to the day care owners' house. He approaches the guest bedroom's window and sees that it's still open. The king puts his hands on the window sill and pulls himself up.
N makes it through the window without waking up Cheren. He quickly goes over to his bed and puts his bag down on the ground next to it. N pulls back the bed's covers and gets into the bed. He then pulls covers back up and he closes his eyes and falls fast asleep.
The next morning Touko wakes up thanks to sunlight shining on her eyes. She gets out of bed and walks over to the window. She notices that window's view is the backyard. Touko sees that Cheren training is Snivy.
She closes the curtains and quickly gets dress. After changing into different clothes, Touko heads on out to the backyard. Once outside she notices Cheren isn't training Snivy, he's teaching his Pokémon a new move.
"Alright, Snivy let's try it again! Use Leaf Tornado!"
"Snivy!" cries his out Pokémon and then jumps into the air and flips his body upside down. Snivy then starts to spin his body around in a circle. A tornado starts to appear, but Snivy is having a hard time keeping balance. He loses it and falls onto the ground face first.
Cheren lets out a sigh and walks over to his Pokémon. He picks him up and then brushes the dirt of his face.
"Good morning, Cheren," says Touko.
The boy turns and sees his friend standing there and says, "Morning. How long have you been standing there?"
"For a few minutes. I see you're teaching Snivy a new move."
"Yeah, but he's having a hard time keeping his balance."
Snivy looks down at the ground sadly.
Cheren notices Snivy's reaction and says, "It's okay, Snivy you're doing you best. At least this time the tornado was starting to form."
Touko smiles and says, "Practice makes perfect."
"Snivy!" says the snake Pokémon now with a determined look in his eyes.
"That's the spirit," says Touko.
"Touko, how's your Oshawott? Have you taught it razor shell yet?" asks Cheren and as he places his Pokémon back down on the ground.
"…No….he knows water gun though!"
"But Razor Shell is better attack," says Cheren with a sigh. "It lowers your opponent's defense."
"He will learn at his own pace, Cheren. I'm not going to rush my Pokémon. Besides you can win a battle without knowing all those special attacks!"
"Okay, let's have a battle then," says her friend with a smirk on her face.
"Uh," says Touko not sure if that's a good idea.
"Trouble!" cries a voice. The two friends turn around and see the day care owner's wife is standing there with a worries look on her face.
"What's wrong?" asks Cheren.
"The four Pokémon that you guys found last night are missing again!"
"They were in their pokeballs last night so that means someone has been stealing them!" cries Touko.
"So they didn't wonder off last time, but I wonder how the thieves stole them in broad daylight," says Cheren going into deep thought.
"We need to find them now! One of the Pokémon's trainer is coming back today!" says the wife in tears.
"It's okay, we'll get them back!" says Touko optimistically and turns to her friend. "Cheren, is Kuro still sleeping?"
"Yes," he replies.
"Okay, I'll go wake him up. You two spilt up," Touko says and then runs back into the house.
She goes over to the boys' room and bangs on the door. Pretty soon the door opens up with a sleepy Kuro standing there.
"Was it?" he asks her and then yawns.
"The Pokémon that we found yesterday were stolen last night," replies Touko. "You need to get dress now so we can go find the thief!"
The news shocks Kuro and he says, "Alright I'll be right out." He then closes the door.
The young trainer goes outside and starts to walk around the area. She doesn't see any signs of the thief. The young trainer then decides to go into the woods. When she walks into the woods, the young trainer hears two loud screams.
Touko runs towards the screaming which leads her deep into the woods. When she comes to a stop, she sees two men being shock by a Joltik. The two men happen to be Haru and Yoru. After the attack is over the two men fall to the ground. Haru stands up and sees Touko standing there.
The young trainer is too busy looking around the area notice him staring at her. She notices that three pokeballs are scatter across the ground. When she sees that one of them is open, she figures it belongs to Joltik and puts two and two toether.
"So you guys are the ones that are responsible for the missing Pokémon!" says Touko.
"And your point?" asks Haru.
"Why would you do such a thing? These Pokémon don't belong to you two," says Touko angrily.
"Ha!" says Yoru and stands up. "Those Pokémon don't belong to anyone!"
"What?" says the young trainer in a confused voice. "Then why are you taking them?"
"We're liberating them," replies Haru. "Pokémon and humans aren't met to live together. We're ending the cruel practices of training Pokémon."
"Yeah," says Yoru trying to grab the Joltik, but it ends up shocking him again.
"By the looks up of it that Joltik doesn't want to be sit free," says Touko.
"Listen little girl you know nothing!" says the Yoru gets out a pokeball. "Go Woobat!" He throws out his pokeball and out comes the bat Pokémon.
"…Little girl?" says Touko somewhat mad as she grabs one of her pokeballs from her belt. "Go Oshawott!"
"Osha!" cries the otter Pokémon when he comes out his pokeball.
"Alright, use water gun!"
Oshawott obeys and spits water at Woobat. He dodges the attack and uses gust which makes Oshawott fall backwards hitting his head on the ground.
"Oshawott, are you okay?" Touko asks her Pokémon in a concern voice.
"Osha!" replies her Pokémon jumps up and turns around gives her the thumbs up.
"Just give up you're not going to win," says Yoru confidently.
"Think again. Oshawott and I are going to win," says Touko.
"Oshawott and you? He's the one that's fighting not you."
"We're a team. He may be the one that's fighting, but I'm here to support him and cheer him on. Now, Oshawott use water gun again!"
The otter Pokémon uses water gun and this time it hits the bat Pokémon right in the face. The attack causes it to plummet towards the ground, but it catches itself right before it hits the ground. The bat Pokémon then uses confusion which knocks Oshawott to fall to the ground.
"Like I said you're not going to win. Just give up and now."
"I will never give up because I'm not going to let you two take those Pokémon away from their trainers!"
"We're doing them a favor by getting rid of their Pokémon for them."
"No you're not. It's up to the trainer and their Pokémon."
Suddenly Joltik gets in front of Oshawott and uses shock on Woobat. The electric attack strikes Woobat which causes it to fall to the ground face first. The impact from the fall knocks out Woobat. Yoru then holds up his pokeball returns his Pokémon to his ball.
"Thanks, Joltik," says Touko.
The bug Pokémon nods its head.
"Now," says Touko turning her attention back to the Team Plasma members. "Where is the rest of the missing Pokémon?"
"Like we tell you," says Haru. He then runs off with Yoru trailing behind him.
"Great," mutters Touko annoyed. "Oh, well at least I got the ones we found yesterday back."
"Is there something wrong?" asks a familiar voice.
The young trainer turns around and sees N standing there. A smile appears on her face and she says, "We tend to bump into each other lot."
"Yes we do," says N and returns her smile.
"What are you doing here?"
"Just taking a walk. You?"
Touko then explains everything to N.
"I see," he says after her explanation.
"I bet those two know where the rest are," she says.
"Is it that important to find the rest? Don't you think they would be happy being away from their trainers?"
Touko shakes her head and says, "No, I don't. I'm sure those Pokémon are missing their trainers."
"How do you know that?"
"It's just a feeling," says Touko and bends down and starts to pick up the pokeballs up off the ground and placing them into her bag.
"Jolt!" cries Joltik.
"Hmm?" says Touko and looks at the bug Pokémon. "What is it?"
"She says that there is one missing," N translates for the Pokémon.
"What?" says the young trainer in a confused voice and looks up at N.
"Those Team Plasma members have one of those pokeballs."
Touko looks back down on the ground and notices that there is one missing. She kicks herself mentally for miscounting.
"Jolt, Jolt!"
"She said before you came she was trying to save her friends."
"You were?" Touko asks as turns her head to face the bug Pokémon.
Joltik nods her head.
"How did you get out?"
"Jolt, jolt, jolt!"
"The man who had her ball accidently dropped it," N translates for her.
"I see," says Touko and stands up and turns around faces the young boy. "Well, now what? We don't know where they ran off to and we have these three Pokémon that need to be return to the Day Care Center."
"I'll go look for them," says N.
"You will?"
"Yes and while I do that you can return Joltik and the others back to the center."
"Are you sure? I can go with you."
"No, it's better this way."
As they're talking Oshawott notices that N now has a shoulder bag. The bag looks exactly like Kuro's bag. He cocks heads and gets closer to N. He smells his pants and takes a step back. Oshawott notices that his scent is somewhat familiar. Could it be the same…as Kuro's?
"Oshawott," says Touko.
The otter Pokémon looks up at his trainer.
"We're heading back to the Day Care Center."
He just nods his head and follows his trainer and Joltik back to the Day Care Center. As they're walking back, he glances behind him and sees N still standing there. He gets a weird feeling and then looks forward.
When, they're out of sight, N runs off to go find the Team Plasma members. Along the way he asks wild Pokémon about the two men. Eventually he finds the two standing behind some trees arguing about something.
He gets closer and listens to them before he approaches them.
"I can't believe, you lost!" says Haru angrily.
"Well, sorry! If it wasn't for that Joltik I would have won!" shouts Yoru defensibly.
"You should have never dropped its ball in the first place!"
"I didn't mean to! At least I was able to hold on to one!"
"Yeah, only one. Now, we have to go back and once again steal them back!"
"I don't think so," says N as he walks over to them.
The two men freeze and slowly face their king. When they finally face him, their king looks really unhappy.
N crosses his arms and says, "I thought I told you to leave this area."
"Lord N," Haru begins to say. "We.."
"Disobeyed my orders," says N cutting him off.
"We apologize," says the two men in unison and bow.
"Now, Yoru give me that pokeball," says N and holds out his hand.
Yoru walks over to him and places it into his king's hand.
The young king then says, "Good, now go."
"Yes, sir," says the both men in unison again. They turn around and go off in a different direction.
N stands there for a few minutes before changing back into his disguise. Once he feels like the two men are nowhere in sight, he places the bag on the ground. He then changes back into his disguise.
'It was such a pain to carry this bag all the back here,' he thinks to himself as he gets dress. 'But will all the commotion I couldn't afford someone finding my bag.'
After he gets dressed and fixes his hair and eyes, N notices a Pidove staring at him. He walks over to it and says, "Can you help me? I'm looking for four lost Pokémon."
"Pi pi pi," says Pidove, "Earlier I ran into three Pokémon that were lost. Are those the ones you are looking for?"
"Probably. Can you show me where they are?"
"Sure!" answers the bird Pokémon turns around and flies off with N following closing behind it.
Meanwhile, Touko returns to the Day Care Center and goes on inside. She sees the day care man standing behind a counter in the back of the room. He sees her notices that she has a Joltik with her.
"Is that the only one you could find?" he asks as he walks over to her.
"No," she replies and shows him the inside of her bag, when he's standing in front of her. "I found these in woods. Two members of Team Plasma were the ones that took them and they were reason why they went were missing in first place."
"That's make sense," says the man.
"Huh?"
"Before the Pokémon went missing those two men came by and demanded my wife and me to release all of the Pokémon that were being kept here. My wife and I told them no and they left angrily."
"Well, I'll just place these pokeballs on the counter and go look for the rest. Have you heard anything from Cheren or your wife?"
"Nope."
"What about Kuro?"
"No."
"Okay," says Touko and then goes on over to the back of the room. Once she's standing in front of the counter, she places the pokeballs on it. As she's setting them down the counter she remembers something.
"Um," she says and turns her head to face the day care man. "One of the team plasma members has one of the pokeballs and I didn't get a chance to get because they ran off after a battle. But I ran into a friend and he went after them. So expect to see a boy about my age to come by and return it back to you."
"Okay, do you have Joltik's ball."
"Yep. I placed it on the counter."
"Alright, well good luck on finding the rest."
"Thanks. Come on Oshawott," says Touko and heads over to the front door. Oshawott follows right behind her and before she can open it. The door swings open and Cheren is standing there with a Lillipup in his arms.
"I didn't have any luck retrieving that stolen pokeballs, but I found this one," he says.
"Excellent!" cries the day care man and takes the dog Pokémon from the boy's arms. "All we need is three more!"
"But what about the ones that went missing from this morning?"
"I found them," replies Touko. "Two members of Team Plasma were behind the kidnappings the whole time."
"Really?" says Cheren.
"Yep."
"How did you get them back?"
"One of the members dropped three of the four balls on the ground. I had to battle one of them so they couldn't them back. During the battle I was somewhat confused."
"Why?"
"They were talking about how Pokémon needed to be set free, but yet the guy I fought was using a Woobat. Doesn't that make him a hypocrite?"
"It does. Touko do you remember seeing them in Accumula Town?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"They mentioned setting Pokémon free as well. Looks we'll be running into them a lot."
"Great," says Touko in a sarcastic voice.
"Well, be better get a move on it," Cheren. "There's three more to find."
"Oh, be on a look out for a boy with long green hair. He'll have one of the four pokeballs with him."
"Why would he have that? I thought you said you found them."
"I did, but the Team Plasma member that thought still had one in his hand," explains the young trainer. "After our battle they ran away before I get the fourth one back. My friend who I met on Route 2 said he would help me."
"Oh. Well, let's go then."
They go out the front door with Oshawott following right behind them. When the three of them step on to the front porch, they see Kuro standing there in front of the steps. Oshaowott notices he's holding a pokeball in his hand.
"Kuro," says Touko as she walks down the steps. "Had any luck?"
"Yep! I was a walking in the woods I ran into a boy with long green hair. He asked if I was a friend of yours and I said yes. He then gave me this pokeball to give to you," replies Kuro and shows her the pokeball.
"Oh, good he found it," says the young trainer happily. "Do you know where he went?"
"Nope. After he gave me the pokeball, he just walked off."
"Oh, well I guess I won't get to thank him until I run into him again."
"Is he a friend of yours?"
"Kind of. I met him on Route 2 and we tend run into each other often."
As the two are talking Oshawott approaches Kuro. He gets very close to his legs and smells his pants. His eyes widen and he takes a step back. N's and Kuro's scent are exactly the same! Oshawott goes over to his trainer and begins to pull on her leg to get her attention.
Touko feels him tugging on her leg and looks down at him and says, "Is there something wrong?"
"Oshawott!" replies her Pokémon and points at Kuro, "It's him!"
Kuro hears the otter Pokémon talking to his trainer. He just stares at him and thinks, 'How did he?'
"Oshawott, you know that's Kuro, right?" says Touko not understanding what Oshawott is saying.
"So guys! I found the rest of the missing Pokémon!" says Kuro trying to get Touko's attention away from her Pokémon.
"What? You did?" asks Touko and looks back up at him.
"Where are they?" asks Cheren.
"I'll show you," replies the boy and then takes them to the fence in back yard. When the three Pokémon are chilling under a tree.
"…How did you find all three so quickly?" asks the young black hair boy in disbelief.
"I got skill," says Kuro with a grin on his face.
Cheren rolls his eyes and looks at Tokuo and says, "Do you believe him?"
Touko shrugs her shoulders and says, "He got them back and that's all that matters."
"True…"
"Well now that we got them all back. Oshawott and I have to get going," says Touko.
"Wait, what about our battle?" asks Cheren remembering their conversation from this morning.
"What battle?" replies Touko pretending to be clueless.
"Don't play dumb. When we were talking this morning I asked you to battle me."
"Must we?"
"Yes I want to see if either of us has gotten stronger."
"I see…" Touko says trailing off and wonders if this going to be repetitive thing.
"So will you?"
"Sure, why not," says Touko quickly giving into her friend. There's no use in saying no because he'll probably won't take no for an answer.
"Oh! A battle!" says Kuro excited in a voice.
"You've seen me battle before so what's the big deal?" asks the young trainer wondering why it's such a big deal.
"Because I'll get to see you lose again."
"What was that?" says Touko angrily.
"You're going to lose."
"You wanna bet?"
"Sure why not?"
"Huh?"
"Let's place a bet. If you win I'll leave you alone, but if he wins you have to let me join you on your journey."
"No way," says Touko very strongly. "I don't do bets."
"But you said wanna bet," says Kuro and begins to grin. "What are you afraid that you might lose?"
"Fine we'll do this stupid bet of yours! And I'm not afraid of losing!"
"Then it's a deal," says the young boy with a huge grin on his face.
"So Cheren," says the young trainer and returns her attention back to her friend. "How do you want to battle?"
"How about a one on one with our starters?" replies Cheren.
"Works for me. Ready Oshawott?" asks Touko and glances down at her Pokémon.
"Osha!" cries the otter Pokémon in a determined voice. He also doesn't want Kuro to travel with him and Touko.
Cheren takes a huge step back and gets out a pokeball. He throws up into the air and Snivy pops out and lands on the ground.
Kuro walks between them and steps off to the side and shouts, "Begin!"
"Who made you ref?" Touko mutters to herself and glances over at the young boy.
Cheren notices that she's not paying attention and uses this to his advantage. "Snivy, use vine whip!"
"Sniv!" cries his Pokémon and attacks Oshawott. The vine reaches him and wraps itself around Oshawott's stomach. He then throws him up into the air and Oshawott plummets to the ground landing face first.
The otter Pokémon stands up and wipes the dirt off his face. Touko then orders him to use water gun and he spits water at the snake Pokémon. The attack misses and the otter Pokémon gets hit by another vine whip attack. This time the attack just slaps him right in the stomach which causes him to fall backwards.
Touko bites her lip. The battle isn't looking so good for her. She can't afford to lose seeing how Kuro will become her travel buddy. She just shakes her head and tells herself that's she's going to win.
The battle continues on for quite a while. Touko keeps on ordering Oshawott to use water gun, but the attack never hits Snivy. He either doges it or uses his vine whip as a shield. Touko then orders Oshawott to use tackle, but Snivy is too fast and dodges.
Near the end of the fight Oshawott is starting to feel tired. His trainer notices and has no idea what to do. She doesn't like seeing her Pokémon injured, but she can't call off the fight. Not when there's so much at stake. Suddenly an idea pops into her head when Cheren once again has Snivy using vine whip.
"Oshawott, run in a circle!" Touko shouts at her Pokémon.
The otter Pokémon doesn't question his trainer and starts to run a circle. At first he's confused to why he's a running a circle until he sees the vine is following him. He understands what Touko wants him to do so he runs faster and gets closer to Snivy. Eventually the otter Pokémon gets so close that the vine is now wrapping around Snivy's body.
"What the?" Cheren says in confusion.
Touko's plan is working and she can't help, but grin. "Looks Snivy can't move anymore seeing how the vine is wrapped around his entire body."
Oshawott stops running and sees that Snivy's body is completely covered in vines. He can't help, but grin like his trainer.
"Nice strategy, but I'm afraid that won't help you win," says Cheren with a smirk on his face. "Snivy use leaf tornado!"
Snivy closes his eyes and starts to glow green. The attack gives him enough strength which allows him to break free from his vine. When he breaks free, he jumps into the air and spins around like crazy. He flips himself upside down and a tornado starts to appear.
Cheren crosses his finger and hopes it works. Luckily the attack doesn't fail this time. A full tornado appears and leaves start flying out of it. The leaves hit Oshawott one by one which causes him to fall to the ground. When the back of his head slams down on the ground, Oshawott has swirls in his eyes.
"Oshawott is unable to battle and Snivy is the winner!" shouts Kuro.
"….Are you serious?" Touko mutters in frustration.
"Good work Snivy," says Cheren and returns him to his pokeball. He then walks over to his friend. "Nice match."
"Sure," says Touko who is now sitting on the ground with Oshawott in her arms.
"You know you great with coming up with strategies, but you need to know how to go through with them. Also you need to teach Oshawott more moves. He should be able to know razor shell by the now," says her friend trying to offer her advice.
"I like said earlier he can learn it when he's ready."
"Okay then. We'll just have to see if that's true. Well, I better get a move on. See you later and next time our match will involve more Pokémon so be prepared," says Cheren and then turns around and leaves. Once his back faces Touko, she just sticks out her tongue.
Kuro chuckles and says when Cheren is out of earshot, "Someone's a sore loser."
"Don't talk to me," says the younger trainer angrily and returns her attention back to her unconscious Oshawott.
"Aww you're just mad because I was a right about you losing."
"Shut it."
"Now, you have to travel with me."
"I said shut it."
Before Kuro can say anything Oshawott finally wakes up. He jumps to his feet and gives his trainer an apologetic look.
Touko smiles at him and pats him on the head and says, "It's okay. You did your best and that's all that really matters."
Oshawott just smiles.
"Do you need some potion?"
He shakes his head.
"Sure? You really got pushed around during the battle. Also you were sort of injured from the other battle with Team Plasma."
"Osha!" says her Pokémon and gives her the thumbs up.
Touko giggles and says, "Okay then. Well, I'll be right back. I'm going to go tell the day care owner that all of the missing Pokémon are back." She then stands up.
"Wait," says Kuro.
"What?"
"Here," he says and hands her the fourth pokeball. "You better return this."
"Oh, I have forgotten about that. Thanks for reminding me," says Touko and then turns around and goes back to the front the door of the Day Care center. When she gets to the front porch, she sees the day care owner's wife running towards her. Touko stops walking and waits for the woman.
"Hey!" says the day care owner's wife, when she approaches the young trainer. "I had no luck."
"Don't worry," answers Touko with a smile. "All the Pokémon have been returned."
"Thank goodness," says the woman a look of relief. "Did you ever find out who do it?"
"Yep, why don't we go inside and talk about it? I need to tell your husband that everyone has been returned."
"Alright."
Meanwhile when Oshawott hears the front door close, and he uses water gun on Kuro. The attack hits him right in the face.
Kuro wipes the water off his face with his hand and says, "What was there for?"
Oshawott ignores his question and says, "Osha, Osha!", "I know who you are!"
Kuro just ignores him by turning his head the other way.
"N, I know it's you! Why are you in that disguised? Is it to hurt Touko!"
Kuro returns his attention back to the otter Pokémon and says, "I would never do such a thing."
"Then why do you like that?"
"I have my reasons. You're pretty smart to figure out who I am," says Kuro changing the subject.
"Don't change the subject. Why do you look like that?"
"I changed it because I gave you my answer. There's no point staying on it."
"That wasn't an answer."
"It is in my book."
Oshawott uses water gun again and it hits right in the face once again. "You better not be doing anything that will end up hurting Touko!"
"Man," says Kuro and wipes the water off his face. "You're very over protected."
"I love Touko and will doing anything to protect her."
"But you just met her."
"So? That doesn't matter to me."
"How come?"
"I have my reasons."
Kuro just smirks and says, "I promise I won't do anything that will hurt your trainer."
"Good and if you break that promise you better run."
"I'm back," says Touko.
Kuro and Oshawott turn their attention to the young trainer. Oshawott runs over to her and stands really close to her.
Touko just smiles at him and says, "It's good to see that you're filled with energy." She then looks at Kuro. "Ready? I want to get to the next city as soon as possible."
"Yep," he says. "Still mad about losing?"
"Let's go," says the young trainer ignoring his comment and starts to walk off with Oshawott by her side.
Kuro just smirks and catches up to her. As they're walking he notices Oshawott his watching him. He just lets out a small sigh. He has a feeling that the Pokémon is going to watch his every move.
"Kuro?" says Touko.
"Yeah?" he replies and looks at her.
"How did you know that I was going to win?" she asks him.
"Just a hunch," he replies and asks, "Why?"
"Because that battle from yesterday with that kid, you said that I would lose as well and I did. Are you psychic or something?"
"Hmm you can say that."
"So are you?"
"I don't know."
"You're not going to tell me are you?"
"Nope."
"Fine."
Kuro just smiles and says, "Traveling with you will be so much fun."
"Yeah, it's going to be grand," says Touko with a sarcastic voice.
A/N:
I hope you enjoyed it! I'm so happy to get this chapter posted. Things will now start to get interesting. Hope you guys get used to seeing Cheren and Touko battling each other! Because it will happen quite often! I love how in the game every city you go to Cheren freaks out and makes you battle him.
Cheren: Let's see how much stronger you are.
Me: ….we battle liked 10 minutes ago nothing has changed!
Don't worry they won't be constantly battling each other because that will get boring. So…yeah Touko lost. Of course she lost! N has to join her! Besides I want her gain experience and not make her instantly strong. Also she's not going to get lucky and win like a certain character from the anime….. Anyway, thanks for reading and I'll see you guys in the next chapter!
Please Review :)
