A New Friend and Rival
When the thumps and cries finally wake Mike up, Gwen had already been sitting up in bed for ten minutes, growing angrier with each sound. He's just waking up when he hears Gwen growl.
"I don't know who's making that noise, but I'm going to kill them." She growls, stands quickly and angrily pulls on her cloths. Before Mike can stop her, she yanks open the window and jumps out, from the second floor. Mike chuckles.
"Someone's in trouble." He grins. He throws off the covers and finds his shorts, pulling them on. As he does, he hears sounds from outside.
"Who the hell is making all that noise?!" Gwen yells.
"It's just m- oh, well hello there." A boy's voice answers.
"What's with that look, you think it's funny to wake people up at the ass-crack of dawn!" Gwen yells
"Well I'm sorry I was just training- Ow, what the-ow, hey!" Mike hears fists hit flesh. "If you want a fight just say so, I'll be happy to."
That's the last Mike hears because he leaves the room and heads down stairs, taking the normal route instead of jumping out a window. When he opens the door he sees Gwen glaring at a boy of about fifteen. His face is sharp and he has slicked back, short blonde hair with a Mohawk of red feather's running down the middle. He wears a green vest, open, with a white muscle shirt underneath and a pair of black pants. Clawed and scaled feet stick out of the legs of the pants, giving a hint to his Pokémon ancestry, a Combusken. Even with a red mark on his face, likely from Gwen's fist, he's grinning wildly.
"That was a pretty good punch, want to try again?" He says. Gwen wastes no time in slugging him again, however he only grins harder. "Okay, now it's my turn."
The boy takes a step back and kicks out, his claws curled to avoid major injuries, and slam it into Gwen's stomach, knocking the wind out of her.
"Don't think I'll hold back, even if you're a girl." The boy says winking. Gwen recovers quickly and lunges, paying him back with her own fist to the stomach. The results are the same as the boy doubles over.
"I wouldn't want you to." Gwen snaps back. Mike can see a dangerous glint in both Pokemorphs eyes and decides to let them slug it out. After a second, the boy recovers and drops into a fighting stance, powerful legs ready to snap out at a moment's notice. Gwen unclenches her fists and flexes her claws, ready for a fight. After a few seconds of waiting for the other to attack first, they both grow impatient and lunge at the same time. The boy snaps a side kick, aimed at Gwen's ribs. Gwen is just fast enough to grab his ankle, although the impact jars her arm. Still holding his leg, Gwen swipes with her other hand. The boy does a small hop and kicks out, just enough to knock Gwen's claws off course and also wrenching his other leg out of her grasp. Gwen doesn't give him a chance to rest, moving forward and slashing with her claws. The boy does a series of small hops backward, staying just out of Gwen's reach, before he suddenly shoots forward. He brings his knee up, targeting Gwen's stomach. At the same time Gwen is lashing out with her own attack, claws outstretched. Both attacks hit their marks, Gwen receiving a hard blow making her gasp and the boy's shirt gaining some claw marks, thin lines of blood trickling out. They exchange a few more blows before breaking off the exchange, both panting hard.
"Hahahaha! Ok, that one hurt... Ugh... This is why I don't like fighting people with claws, but... I think I'm enjoying this more than I should." The boy laughs.
"Haha, yeah, you're pretty good yourself." Gwen says, her anger completely gone, replaced with the heat of battle. "I think it's time to get serious."
They boy just has time to raise his eyebrows before Gwen attacks. He lunges out with a straight kick, talons extended this time. Gwen was ready for this, however, and she puts a hand on his leg, using it to propel herself up and over the boy. She lands behind the boy and lashes out, shredding the boy's vest and shirt and scratching his skin. He quickly spins around, aiming a quick snap kick at Gwen's shoulder. She dodges the attack and ducks under his leg. She grabs the limb in both hands and pulls it up with her, swiping with her own leg at the same time. She knocks his remaining leg out from under him and she helps him to the ground, slamming his back on the hard-packed earth. Before he can recover, she leaps onto his chest, straddling him, and pins his head to the ground with her forearm, their faces close together.
"Damn, that was awesome!" The boy says, grinning. "Alright, I give. You win this time." Gwen grins back and pushes off the boy's chest, hands lingering just a second, before she stands. She offers her hand and the boy takes it, using it to pull him to his feet.
"That was a pretty good match." Gwen says, "What's your name anyway?"
"Haha, I'm Feng. Who are you; you weren't here when I left yesterday morning?" He asks.
"I'm Gwen; we're just passing through on our way to The Center to sign up for the Trials." She tells him. His eyes grow wide.
"You're going to take on the Trials. Wow! I've always wanted to try them." He tells her. At that point Mike pulls away from the tree he was leaning against and approaches the two, now that it's safe.
"Well, you could come with us." Mike says, "You defiantly know how to fight."
"Who's he?" Feng ask Gwen.
"That's my twin Mike." She tells him, "If you think I'm strong you should fight him."
"Maybe later." Feng grins, rubbing the cuts on his stomach. Before they can say anything else, they hear a ringing sound from the house. "Awesome, looks like breakfast's ready. Race you!" Feng takes off, dust kick up in his wake. Mike grins and takes off, easily catching and passing Feng, still fresh from his training. Gwen jogs after them arriving just behind Feng. Kitty, Felicity, Ratchell and the brothers are already at the table. The three new comers find seats, Feng darting in to take the open place beside Gwen. The breakfast passes nicely, if loudly, everyone talking to each other and having a good time. Ratchell has taken a seat between Kitty and Jax, splitting her attention between hanging onto Kitty's every word and flirting with Jax. The silent Bouffalant is between Jax and Bill, listening to the conversations around him. On Felicity's other side, Gwen is telling Feng about the few days her and Mike had been on the road, fighting the Feral pack and the swarm of Beedrill. Feng's eyes are wide with excitement and they glint every time Gwen mentions a battle. Beside Feng, Mike is talking with Bill, filling him on their trip so far and the fight between Feng and Gwen.
"Then Gwen swipes his other leg out from under him and pins him to the ground." Mike finishes, chuckling.
"Yeah tha' surly sounds like our Feng, always restless." Bill says, rubbing his rocky chin.
"Haha, he would defiantly fit in with our group." Mike says, raising an eyebrow in Bill directions. Bill chuckles, picking up on the hidden question.
"I reckon he would, he seen ta have takin' a liking you yer sister too." Bills says. They both glance at Gwen and Feng, currently arm wrestling.
"They are defiantly a lot alike." Mike comments, "So, what do you say?"
"That one's been lookin fer a chance to leave almost since we found em." Bill says, "I'm sure he'd be happy to go with you and you have my blessin'."
"Great, thanks." Mike says, grinning.
"Jus promise me somethin'; keep an eye out fer the youngun, won't ya. He's been like a son ta me and muh brothers an' we wouldn't want anythin' to happen to the boy." Bill says, suddenly serious.
"Don't worry; I won't let anything happen to him." Mike says, mirroring him, "I have a feeling we're going to be relying on him as much as he will be on us."
"Glad to hear it. So, when are you fixin on leaving?" Bill asks.
"We'll probably head off soon after everyone is finished here." Mike says glancing around the table. Everyone is done eating and some have started leaving. Jax and Bouffalant are going about their daily chores on the ranch. Now rested, Gwen and Feng leave the table to go outside, presumably to train more. Ratchell lets out a cheer and her, Kitty, and Felicity head to the stairs, back to Felicity and Kitty's room. Bill offers some supplies to Mike and the two head off to pack.
