Chapter # 9 – Revenge is Sweet
"Wow, I didn't think you'd be here for a while." The young man was answered by a shrug from the other boy he had just let in his house. "Well this is great. I have a friend here I wanted you to meet." They walked through the house to the back yard where they stepped outside. " Sorry Ryan, I had to go…" He stopped seeing two brunettes glaring at each other in his field, fire in their eyes. The scared, young pokemon around them stopped their playing to watch the yelling teens.
"Who's Ryan?" The boy next to him asked curiously, his face in a frown as he examined the faces ofeach person.
"S'okay Reggie." The male brunette answered, tearing his eyes away from the girl.
"Who's Reggie?" The girl asked looking over as well. " Paul?!"
"Paul??" Ryan asked her.
"Alex?!" "Alex??" The purplenettes mimicked.
"Ok, hold on," Alex shook her head, "What are you doing here?" she jabbed a finger roughly into her brother's chest.
He pushed her back. "Well this is my breeder friend of mine that I've been talking about visiting for a while, so now I am."
"How convenient." She rolled her eyes. "Ok, so what is Paul doing here?" She turned to him next.
"I'm coming to visit my brother, Reggie, while I'm in town." He answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "So what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I'm…" "She ran away from home." Ryan replied sending another glare her way.
"I did not run away! I just… left home without telling anybody except Gary. But it was your fault for being a selfish jerk." Her voice rose with every word, her hands balled into fists in anger and frustration.
He faltered slightly. He knew he was being selfish, but he wasn't willing to admit that to his sister. "Well, uh, fine then. Let's settle this with a one-on-one pokemon battle."
"Fine."
Paul and Reggie watched the two bicker and brawl. Alex's other pokemon stood a safe distance away from the group and watched as well. They decided it was safe enough to wander up beside their trainer.
"Pinser, let's battle!" Ryan called out a hard-shelled, brown bug with two spiked horns on its head. It snapped its razor sharp teeth and clamped its horns together.
Alex smirked and clutched her pokeball. "Houndoom, squash them like the bugs they are!" A large dog with short black fur, a red underbelly and snout, two curled horns, white bands around its back, ankles and neck, as well as a skull pendant emerged. Through its fanged mouth it let loose a hair-raising howl, its blood red eyes burned a hole in its opponent and its long, skinny, arrowhead tail lashed like a whip.
Ryan's jaw hit the ground, "Since when did you have houndoom with you!?" He had heard from Professor Oak that Alex had taken eevee, charizard and cubone, so how did she end up with another one of her best pokemon. 'Well, she does have a thing for fire types, so I should have expected her to take more than one with her.'
"Gary brought him to me when he came to Sinnoh on a mission, since he was missing me an awful lot and giving the Professor some trouble. Lucky, no? Houndoom, use flamethrower!" Alex ordered.
Paul watched the two, but mostly Alex, impressed. She wasn't like all of the other girls that all cared only about how cute their pokemon were. No, she was strong, a fighter. Reggie glanced over at his brother and noticed how he was staring at the brunette girl. He smiled as an idea came to mind.
"So, how did you two meet?" Reggie asked.
Paul shrugged, quickly snapping out of his own thoughts. "She's the girl I told you about not too long ago, the one with the strong eevee."
"Yes! Thanks Houndoom, you were amazing." Alex hugged her dog as the battle ended, and her pokemon cheered from where they were perched on the wooden fence surrounding the field. Ryan returned his fainted bug to its pokeball with a sigh. Everybody looked over as a strike of lightning caused Alex's pokemon to tumble off the fence and land in a clump. Memories flooded through Alex's mind and her face grew dark again as she spotted the source of the attack.
"Whose electabuzz is that?" Alex growled.
"Mine." Paul answered. He saw her tense and dig her nails into her palms when her dark eyes glared up at it, one eye shadowed.
"Tell me, a long while ago, back around Sandgem town, did you and your electabuzz spot a flying red pokemon, and did you attack it?"
The question struck him as odd. 'How would she know about that?' he wondered. "…Yes."
"How would you like a battle?" She looked at him now, her gaze piercing through him like needles, filled with anger though he didn't know why.
"Fine." He answered with a smirk. "My pokemon could use the training." Electabuzz was all ready for a battle, confident in its power and trainer. Too confident she thought.
"Revenge time!" She sang tossing her pokeball. The ground under them rumbled as her furious red dragon, charizard, stomped and snorted smoke. It's blue and red wings spread out and flapped a few times, finally healed. Eletabuzz's eyes bulged at the size of its foe, fully intimidated. "That little trick you played that time ago left my charizard unable to fly, as its wings are its weak spot. It hasn't healed until about a week ago."
Paul's scowl softened slightly as he stared at her. For some reason he didn't know, he felt guilty about injuring her pokemon, even if it was by accident, kind of. It usually wouldn't bother him. As she explained what happened, her face showed pain as if she had felt what her charizard had, and it made him feel horrible. He saw his brother look at him like he knew something Paul didn't, and his scowl returned.
Reggie and Ryan were whispering back and forth to each other suspiciously, glancing between the two every once and a while. They nodded in satisfaction and turned to the battle. "If what Alex said was true, about charizard, then I'm sorry but electabuzz is way past burnt toast. Charizard is notorious for its temper."
The other shrugged, "I don't know, Paul's pretty strong."
"Now charizard, steel wing." Alex ordered. The attack wouldn't have been very effective, but charizard sped with white wings on a diagonal, one tearing up the ground and hitting electabuzz straight on. It was super fast for being so large.
Paul awoke from his own daze and called for his pokemon to attack with thunder. Charizard dodged with blinding speed and harshly stomped the ground, sending out an earthquake attack. Electabuzz jumped up to dodge, but charizard struck with a scorching overheat, and that was that. Electabuzz twitched on the ground, smoke steaming off its horribly burned body. Charizard roared triumphantly, beating his chest like Tarzan as Alex patted his rough skin. She walked over to Paul and electabuzz.
"Good battle, but never cross my charizard again." She smiled, holding out her hand for a friendly shake. Paul kept his eyes lowed and took her hand, muttering a small 'sorry' hoping it was inaudible, but she heard him just fine. Reggie and Ryan walked up to them, grinning hugely.
"What are you two grinning about?" Alex asked, slightly scared of the answer.
"Well first of all, Reggie owes me twenty dollars." Ryan smirked. Then, looking at each other, they said at exactly the same time, "And, we think you should travel together!"
"WHAT!?"
OMG what will she say??? What will he say??? What would you say???
Anyways, I'd love to hear from you, nothing rude please. If you have any characters you'd like me to add, tell me and I'll see what I can do!
For now, I bid you goodbye. Horray for the new year!
