Chili! But I kind of wonder... what is up with his name? Chili, REALLY? CHILI? I thought they would have thought about a better name that starts with a C since Cilan is cilantro, Cress is like those watercress flowers and Chili is like the actual chili. I guess they ran out of ideas of names that sound more human... Oh well it's time for the fiery, red haired, red eyed, waiter and gym leader.
"Okay, ready Snivy? This is our first gym battle," a girl with red crop hair up to her chin and a longer set of hair in a braid. Think of it as Yunas' hair from Final Fantasy 10. She has a set of aqua colored eyes. The red haired girl wears a black tank top with a short jean jacket all the way to the mid back. She even wears a jean shorts up to her mid thigh.
"Sni," the grass serpent said evenly even though he is bubbling with excitement from the inside. The duo walked in to only come face first with the cafe. She heard from a lot of people that the Gym is also a cafe. Not only that, the gym has three gym leaders where everyone in the whole world is only single well except for the psychic duo Tate and Liza of the Mossdeep City Gym in Hoenn. Then again they are the only ones to do an actual double battle for a gym badge. As the red haired teen walks deeper into the Cafe/Gym another teen with red hair up almost like fire, red eyes, and in a waiter outfit with a noticeable red bow tie pops out of nowhere scaring the poor female redhead ten feet in the air.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. The names Chili, how many people in your party?" he kindly asks. The aqua eyed girl couldn't help but stare at the redhead ahead of her. It's almost like she's seeing her twin brother but at the same time not. It frighten her to see that there is another person that is a redhead in the facility. On the other hand she thought he was kind of cute. Who could resist such a guy that has some kind of fiery passion for the things he does? Then there's the soft side of him of what the redhead had witnessed.
"Oh, I'm not here to eat. I'm here for a gym battle," the aqua eyed girl answers getting out of her fantasy.
"Well if you're looking for a gym battle then you came to the right place. I see you started out with a Snivy, a grass type. Well you're out of luck because you are going against me, a fire type user," the redhead male spoke smugly. "If you follow me to the back please." He started off to the back and two other teens were standing, one blue haired and the other green. He quickly whispered to them about the aqua eyed girl getting a gym battle. They nodded and the back walls started to open after flipping some kind of switch that Arceus knows where. The redhead was too amazed that she gets to see this type of exchange first hand. Then the gyms' battle arena showed up with a rocky terrain.
"Since you started off with a grass type, I'm sure you are aware that you must go against my brother, Chili," said the green haired teen. "My name's Cilan." Then he bowed down to show some gentlemen quality.
"And I'm Cress," the blue haired added in. "May we get the name of a beautiful girl like you?" He also bowed but grabbed the girls' hand and kissing the knuckles. The female redhead blushed. One things going through the mind of the female redhead is that they are being such charmers. But unknown to her that a certain make redhead fumed at his blue eyed brother. He was hoping to at least get a kiss from the aqua eyed teen. Ones thing for sure he isn't going to let this slip by his hand.
"T-The name's R-Reika," the aqua eyed girl answers, stammering. She rubbed her hand nervously of where the blue haired teen kissed.
"What a beautiful name? Well, Miss Reika, if you can stand on the podium right there and I will be on that podium right across and we can get this battle started," Chili pipes in, leading the female by the hand and helping her up. She blushed even more from the sudden contact of how smooth his hands are on hers' and the sudden change of personality. He became all gentlemen like after being so passionate of battling. Her heart beats really fast that she's afraid that the male redhead would hear it. After helping the blushing female teen he scurries off to the opposite end of the field and sending out his famous fire type monkey Pansear. Since Snivy was her only pokemon at the moment she needs to remember to capture more Pokemon along the way. It's because she trained her Snivy the most to be more of her last resort in case most of her team faints.
"Alright Snivy, you ready?" Reika asks her grass serpent.
"Sni," he answers jumping off the shoulder of his trainer. But to Reikas' utmost worry is that she's in a disadvantage. A grass type pokemon like Snivy is weak against a fire type like Pansear. This is so not in her favor.
"Let's heat this up, Pansear use Flamethrower!" The fire type user calls out a move.
"Snivy dodge it and use Vine Whip!" Reika counters as the grass serpent leaps out of the way and a pair of vines slips out of the collar hitting multiple times at the fire monkey. But that didn't do much damage since Vine Whip is a grass type move.
"Nice moves but let's go with scratch, Pansear!" Chili exclaims. The monkeys' paws glowed and charged at the grass serpent.
"Snivy use Vine Whip to counter his scratch attack!" the female teen commands as another set of Vine Whip comes out swatting away the scratch attack one by one until the attack faded and Vine Whip thrashed Pansear more. Wow she's able to counter most moves almost like a coordinator in Pokemon Contests thought Chili.
"Alright let's try Flamethrower again!" the fire type monkey did as told and a burst of flames came flying out his mouth.
"Snivy jump behind the rock and smash them with Vine Whip!" Reika yells. The only thing I can do is use distance with Vine Whip but how long will that last? Reika wonders. The grass serpent then jumps out of the way behind a rock. Then Snivy used his Vine Whip attack smashing the rocks jutting out, flying towards the the monkey.
"Leap on it, Pansear and use scratch!" said monkey leaps on the rocks flying towards the grass type with glowing paws. That's it I'll wait for it and use Tackle! Reika exclaims in her head. When Reika didn't command her serpent Pokemon it confused the fire type user. Her Snivy started to panic as to why her trainer didn't say anything.
"Trust me Snivy and wait," Reika said as the grass type nods his head. What is she up to? The male redhead asks himself. There could be a possibility that she might do Vine Whip head on but I could counter with Flamethrower if she captures Pansear in it. But I don't want to hurt her pokemon too much. He started to worry for his Pansear that whatever the female redhead may be thinking Pansear won't be fast enough to dodge it. As Pansear was mere inches of the grass serpent Reika now inputs her commands "Use Tackle!" That caught everyone off guard. Snivy headbuts the fire monkey as he was close sending him back, flying. "Now use Vine Whip!" Snivy then used the momentum the flying monkey is in and smacks him hard down with vines. Rocks started to jut out from the impact. A direct hit like that with a second attack coming up behind it, no one can recover from that, Reika thought.
"Pansear!" Chili screams for his pokemon in hopes it's alright. As the smoke clears away his fire monkey is down and out for the count. Chili then runs down to his fainted pokemon picking it up cooing, saying it did its' best. "That was an awesome battle. I never expect you to do a close range Tackle there. I thought for sure you would use Vine Whip again." Chili comments on his opponent.
"You had me a bit worried actually, seeing you had the type advantage. I kind of had to resort to using the environment and the few moves Snivy knows," Reika said modestly picking at the hem of her tank top.
"That was pretty resourceful of you though," Cilan comments and continues, "Well, here you go, the Trio Badge." Cilan then gives the quad color badge that has red, blue and green gems in the center with gold borders looking like a tiara.
"Thank you," Reika thanks, taking the gym badge and placing it into her case as Snivy leaps onto the shoulder of his trainer. "Look Snivy we got our first badge and only seven more to go."
"Sni," the grass serpent says that his training was not in vain.
"When you come by how about a re-match and maybe a date?" Chili asks making the female redhead chuckle at his antics.
"Sure we can have a re-match in the future. But beware I'll come back with a pokemon with a type advantage. As for the date... when I have time after the Unova League."
"Fine by me. The next gym leader is Lenora. She's a normal type user," with that said Reika nods her and left going for the next city.
A couple years had past since the redhead duo met. They both haven't forgotten about each other and they surely miss each other. Chilis' Pansear evolved to Simisear but he still has another Pansear so other trainers won't feel overwhelmed with power on their first gym battle. They have been keeping in touch with every specific detail throughout the year. Despite being far they feel much more closer than ever. And today is the day where Reika comes to Straiton to visit the redhead gym leader and waiter. Oh and Reika finished her journey with her being the champion.
Coming into the facility her hair is the same but the braids is shorter and divided into two. Think of it as Soi Fon from Bleach. This time, she wears a plaid green skirt with a red tank top and purple shoes. She scans the area looking for a certain someone until a voice comes from behind catching her attention.
"Hello and welcome to the Straiton Cafe/Gym how many in your party?" a familiar redhead male asks as he didn't recognized the girl in front of her.
"Oh, I'm not here to eat. I'm here for a gym battle," Reika said the same line that was spoken two years ago. Startling the red eyed teen he looked more properly until his eyes shine.
"Reika! I didn't recognized you there!" he says excitedly.
"I see you haven't change as much," Reika retorts.
"You asked for a battle, right?" the male teen questions the other.
"More or less a re-match. I just wanna see if you have gotten stronger," Reika comments.
"If it's a re-match you want then that's what you'll get," Chili then walks back with the aqua eyed in tow. "Cilan! Cress! Guess who's come to visit!"
The two brothers pops out of nowhere seeing the familiar aqua eyed gal in front of them.
"And what do we owe a pleasure of this visit," Cress speaks grabbing her hand like before. Cilan of coursed bowed.
"She's here for a re-match with me," Chili answers for the female in the small group winding his arm around her shoulder making the female teen blush.
"Very well, I'm sure you remember like before," Cilan says as he flicks a hidden switch and the walls opens up revealing the familiar battle field. The redhead duo got into their positions and a surprise he sends out Simisear. Without a doubt the male teen is getting serious from the last battle.
"You never seen this pokemon before because I got it from a friend from Kanto. Let's go Vaporeon," Reika calls out her mer-dog.
"Wow I really never seen a Pokemon like that. It's pretty rare for one to be here," Chili says surprised. Now that the tables have turned with the aqua eyed having the upper hand.
"Vaporeon lets start this off with Rain Dance," Reika commands and said mer-dog jumps in the air doing flips, twirls and a fancy pose at the end making the rocky terrain soaked and flooded with water as rain poured heavily down, soaking the two pokemon and trainers. Chili cursed under his breath knowing that Rain Dance lowers fire type and increase water type attacks. And he has no move called Sunny Day to counter it. "Oh did you know that Vaporeon knows how to turn to particles in water?" The aqua eyed gave a trivia.
"What?!" Chili says surprised and as she said her Vaporeon disappeared in thin air leaving a panic Gym leader and fire monkey. Not good, with the environment raining and slightly flooded, Simisear isn't going to stand a chance. Not only that the ability to blend in with the water is going to be tough Chili thought worriedly.
"Whirlpool," was Reikas' next command as a large swirling vortex started to pull things into the depth of the flood. Simisear was panicking as the rocks started breaking and being pulled in leaving barely any land for the fire monkey to stand. As the last of the rock formation broke, the one Simisear was standing on, he was sucked in without any way to break it the massive vortex. "Finish it off it Surf." Then a huge tidal wave came sweeping Simisear, slamming it into a wall once the rain stopped. He was left unconscious after. Both trainers returned their Pokemon to rest
"Wow... I didn't make a move and you sweep through this battle in just a few moves," Chili says with cold sweat.
"Of course or have you forgotten? She's the Champion of Unova now," Cilan pipes in.
"What?!" Chili yells again. "I can't believe I forgot about that!" Everyone just laughs at the reaction of the redhead male teen. "And you know I can't stand against a champion! I'm just a gym leader!" The Champion shakes her head and grabs Chili by the arm leading him out the doors of the gym.
"Remember about that date you asked couple years ago?" the Champion asks.
"Yeah, why?"
"I considered it and why not go now while I'm still here," Reika says earning an eager grin from the teen she's clinging onto. She was then dragged to the Dreamyard. They spent the whole day there getting more closer than they did when they were apart. They both sat on a blanket brought by Chili staring at the Munnas' floating around.
"You know Reika I have been meaning to tell you this when we talked to each other from the video calls," Chili begins.
"What is it?" said girl questions.
"Reika, I love you and I want you to be with me," Chili says confidently yet lovingly. The short haired teen stared at him at the confession. She was giddy on the inside. All that locked emotions for the redhead male was pouring out. She decided to take the initiative and kissed him much to the gym leaders surprised. A few seconds to register what was going on he kissed back wrapping his arm around the waist of the female redhead. Breaking apart Chili leans his forehead onto the other gasping for air.
"You don't know how long I waited for this," Reikas' husky voice says as they both went back in capturing each others lips. Chili being eager licked the bottom lip. But much to Reikas' pleasure she teased him a bit by not responding. This made the male redhead growl and going down to the neck biting and slightly licking it. The aqua eyed gasped making an opportunity for the male to stick his tongue in the wet cavern. Licking every inch and cranny with his wet muscle he elicit a moan from the Champion. Pulling apart he left butterfly kisses on the jawline trailing down to her neck earning a shiver and moan from the redhead female.
The waiter lift his head up capturing one last kiss from the champion as he pulled her into an embrace. He pulled her down into the blanket letting her lay her head on his chest. Listening to the heartbeat of said male.
"I love you, Chili," came the murmur of the Champion as she cuddled closer falling asleep.
"Love you too," came his response as he kissed the forehead of the female teen falling asleep with her under the starry sky.
Yes I am finally done with this. I even started typing the Shadow Triad one shot. And truth be told I think this one is more longer than Cress or Cilan. And I have a feeling that the Shadow Triad is gonna be short because I'm thinking of doing a song fic with it. So till next time peeps.
