Chapter 4
Soul City, March 28, 20XX
Brawl Stadium, Round 1
Fen's P.O.V:
"Out of everyone in the world, I just had to go against her sooner or later!" I yelled angrily in my head as I watched the battle between Team Opal and Team Sapphire. The fighters themselves were decent, probably easy to take down considering their weaknesses, but overall not too bad of battlers. I used this to get my mind off of things, like Erika.
"Idiot! That guy had an open spot right there in front of him to strike, and then completely missed it!" Caden grumbled to himself, turning into a battle critic. "And just look at his stance! Does he want to get hit in the gut a thousand times?" I let out a sigh as the match ended.
"Winner is: Team Sapphire!" the announcer called. The audience roared, their loud cheers and boos crashing into each other, forcing me to cover my ears. The Lucario on Team Sapphire let out a gruff, leaving his Sunflora opponent on the battle ground. I glanced at the judges, who seemed pleased of this battle.
"Interesting. Very interesting indeed," Wolf commented. Jolee nodded in agreement. Jacob got out of his chair and cheered with the rest of the crowd.
"Yeah! Way to go, Team Sapphire!" Jacob exclaimed. Jolee looked at him.
"Hey, don't get too excited now. Team Obsidian's match is going to start soon, and they're up against Team Topaz." Jolee announced. More deafening screams from the audience as a response. I stood up, walking towards our side of the battlefield.
"Let's just get this over with quickly so I can beat up Erika's ass when we go against each other..." I mumbled. My teammates followed behind, but a little bit farther away than I thought. I didn't care, regardless of reason.
"Team Obsidian versus Team Topaz! We wish both teams the best of luck!" the announcer said. "Who will go first?" Caden looked at me.
"You're ability is Illusion, correct?" Caden asked me. I nodded.
"So what?"
"If you go first, you will pose as anyone here instead of yourself. Get hit, however, and it will fail," he continued. I crossed my arms, getting interested.
"Go on."
"There's two Psychic types on their team. Their most likely going to send out one of those two. Go out there and pretend to be someone, and then surprise them out of no where with a Dark Type attack." Caden explained. I smirked, jabbing a thumb at Brooklyn.
"Alright then, Captain. I'll go out as Brooklyn," I said.
Before a person heads outside, these high tech walls surrounding this room prevents the other side to see us. But they act as glass walls from the inside, easily letting the people inside the room see what's going on outside. You can easily go through these walls, so once I get out, they won't be able to see the rest of my team, making this easy to pretend I'm someone I'm not.
I walked out with a confident grin, quickly disguising myself as Brooklyn with a swift spin. Upon getting out, I found myself on the battlefield in front of a strange looking opponent. He had coral pink hair, sharp teeth, a red jacket with gray sweatpants, and then a huge shell attached to his back. And based off appearance, I knew this was a Slowbro; one of the Psychic types on Team Topaz.
"Let the match... begin!" With the sound of the flag going down, My opponent charged towards me, his fist glowing an icy blue.
"Ice Punch..." I analyzed. Getting out of the way, I jumped up and struck a Night Slash attack on his back. He fell to the floor, already fainted.
"Wow, what power! And that critical hit with Night Slash was sure to take that guy out!" Jacob shouted. I dusted off my hands.
"I wonder who's next..." I muttered to myself. The Slowbro's unconscious body was then teleported off the battlefield, a new person walked from the room on the opponent side.
"Looks like a Golurk," I thought, noticing the distinctive square swirl marks on his sleeves. Winding up his arm, he let out a DynamicPunch attack at full speed. With a sidestep, I got out of the way just in time.
"I don't want to blow my cover quite yet..." I said to myself. I then had an idea. With no hesitation, I ran up to him, charging a Shadow Claw. Once I got close enough, my eyes widened in surprise when I saw him lift up his leg.
"An Earthquake attack...?!" I mused. "There's no way I can dodge that; he must really think I'm an Electric type!" Before he could set his foot down, I rolled over to his left and Shadow Clawed his side, causing him to fall over. He recovered quicker than I thought, though, preparing another Earthquake. He stomped on the ground, causing numerous cracks to appear on the ground and shake the field violently. I jumped up before the attack could hit me, using my "tail" to get more air.
"Outstanding! What a strategic way to dodge an Earthquake!" Jacob announce, causing the audience to roar cheers once again. Wolf shook his head.
"Something isn't right. A Pikachu like Brooklyn cannot learn Night Slash and Shadow Claw... it's not possible." Wolf commented. Jolee nodded in agreement.
"True as that is, let's just see what this fighter has in store for us," she said. I ended up landing against the wall of the opponent's small room, clawing at the board for dear life. I then jumped out of the way once the Golurk boy let out another DynamicPunch attack. I went straight for a Night Slash again, knocking him out. The crowds of people screamed with happiness as I began to pant heavily.
"I'm sure getting tired, huh..." I mumbled. The Golurk boy's unconscious body was teleported off the battlefield as a Torkoal girl came out. I gritted my teeth; this one is going to be difficult to take down... I might actually lose my cover right here. Not wanting to waste time, I let out a Night Daze attack, seeing that I might as well show what I really am before it's revealed. I raised my arms in the air as they were covered by a crimson colored aura. I pounded them to the ground, letting out a cerise and pink colored shockwave destroy the ground and head towards her way. Despite putting up a Protect, she was still hit pretty badly. I began to cough and fall on one knee; the Night Daze move takes a lot out of me... even though it doesn't cos health.
"Was that... a Night Daze?!" Jacob exclaimed. "This is no regular Pikachu, you can bet on that!" The audience gasped.
"I knew it. It must be Team Obsidian's Fen: a Zoroark. She must've trained herself well to learn the move Night Daze." Jolee said. Wolf nodded.
"No doubt about that; the survived two rounds without breaking a sweat. But her training wasn't good enough, since she looks pretty tired after using it. Night Daze doesn't even cost you health or anything, so she might fall here," Wolf added.
The Torkoal girl got up wearily, turning her back to me and letting out a Lava Plume from the volcanic shell attached to her back. I couldn't get back up on time; the burst of molten rock hitting my stomach and arms, burning my skin a little. I fell back and glanced up at the screen: I only had 68% health left and my opponent had around the same. My guise fell down with me, for once I hit the floor, a small purple aura flashed around my body, revealing my true form.
"Jolee and Wolf were right; that is indeed Fen Abdail from Team Obsidian!" Jacob yelled. "Amazing!"
"She must've taken advantage over her Illusion ability, going out there as Brooklyn really fooled all of us," Jolee responded.
I suddenly felt a light surrounding my body. Before I knew it, I was back inside my team room. I got up, but then laid back down on the bench once a sharp, burning pain sparked though my arm. My body temperature began to rise and the experience was scorching. Rose and Brooklyn looked at me worriedly.
"Why did you guys switch me out?" I asked. "I could've taken h- augh!" I grabbed my shoulder, wincing. Rose shook her head.
"That Lava Plume burned you, Fen. If you were to continue, you would only pass out because of the burn effect. Besides, you've done enough fighting for now," Rose explained with a kind smile. Brooklyn nodded.
"Just rest for now. Once this battle is over, we'll go and give you some medicine or something to heal you up," Brooklyn added. I sighed, laying back down.
"Whatever." I replied, making Rose and Brooklyn nervously laugh. Caden walked over to me.
"Good job out there. You last for quite a while, great work at following instructions," Caden said. I smiled.
"Thanks. I wanted to last longer, but that obviously didn't happen," I responded, laughing a little. Looking at the small TV in the corner, I noticed Eric walking out into the battlefield.
"Let's see what you got, idiot..."
Eric's P.O.V:
"I hope I do well..." I thought. "Half of this battle is just for me to regain my friendship privileges with Fen..."
The Torkoal girl didn't give me a second to think of what to do, since with a snap of her fingers, she sent a Rock Slide over my head. Panicking, I rolled out of the way just on time, not letting one thing hit my body. I ran over to her, pulling out my scalchops and transferring water energy to them, creating my Razor Shell attack and hitting the Torkoal girl in the chest. She fell and rolled on the floor, knocked out. Putting my scalchops away, I sighed.
"Three down... three more to g-"
"What's this?" Jacob suddenly announced. "It looks like the Team Topaz is disqualified from this match!" The tech walls became tans parent, revealing a Braviary boy, Wigglytuff girl, and a Carracosta boy.
"Daren Williams, the Braviary you see in front of you, has the move Sky Drop! That is a forbidden move and is not allowed in competitions such as this! We are still under investigation on who let this young man in, but, this match goes to Team Obsidian!" Jacob said. The audience went wild, popping confetti and such. I walked back inside the room, looking at Fen first. Her piercing blue eyes were full of rage, but they died down as she sighed.
"Good job, even though you barely did anything." Fen said. I laughed as Shaun patted my back.
"Nice work out there, mate!" he congratulated. Caden nodded.
"It's true you didn't do much, but as long as there are no more mischief going around, I promise that next time you we'll win fair and square." Caden added.
"I guess so!"
Later that day...
"Hey, Fen? Can we talk?" I asked, knocking on her door lightly. Rose and Brooklyn went out to buy medicine for Fen's injuries, so she was all alone.
"What do you want, idiot?" she spat. I sighed, opening the door anyways. She was lying down on her bed with a bag of ice on her head.
"I just... wanted to apologize for today. I was half asleep and I-"
"You came in her just to apologize?" she interrupted. I closed my mouth, nodding my head. She just sighed, waving her hand.
"I don't care about that anymore. Just don't do it again, got it?" Fen growled. I smiled, nodding again.
"Promise!" I replied. She let a small smile slip on her face.
"Good. Can you leave please?" she asked.
"Yeah, no problem!" I said, walking out and closing the door quietly behind me. I then sighed in relief.
"Thank Arceus there wasn't any more mistakes this time..."
?'s P.O.V:
"B-But sir, I-"
"No buts, you brat! Just listen to my orders like I told you to, and keep what I said in mind, got it?"
"I... fine."
"Good boy, that's what I thought. Well then, good luck."
"Thank you, sir." I replied, hanging up. I ran my hand through my hair, sighing. I then heard footsteps coming from behind me. Turning around, I met a pair of familiar, bright purple eyes. She had a smirk on her face.
"You're not going to let him down, now are you?" she asked. I shook my head.
"It's not like I had a choice anyways," I responded, walking into the night with her following close behind.
"Let's just get this mission over with. I don't want to listen to my old man complain anymore." I heard her snicker.
"That's fine by me."
Ooo, I wonder who those two suspicious people are! I mean, I don't, since I already know, but you get what I mean.
Alright guys! That's all I got! I apologize for the length; I expected it to be a little bit longer than this. But, hey, I am a pretty busy person, so hopefully you guys understand.
Did you like it? Hate it? Think it's okay? Review and let me know anything that I should know about this story so far!
Happy New Year (again!) I hope all your days are great!
Bye!
