Disclaimer: Blaze sits there with a sign that says, "Jedd owns Pokemon."

Jedd screams as the lawyers look his way, "I don't own Pokemon! Honestly! She's just trying to get me in trouble! I don't own Pokemon!"

NOTICE: "Here it is, the last of this thrice-be-damned three part chapter. Heh, this certainly took long enough! This NOTICE has been brought to you by Zombies Incorporated, where the employees eat you! Should you feel you've reached this NOTICE an error, please sit down and-" Bukantic walks up with a sign across her back that says, "Eat Jedd's Hair!"

Jedd screams again, "REVIEW! No eating my hair!"

Pokemon Genesis.
By Jedd Shual-Iyiste.

Chapter 7 Finished.

The smaller Nidoking glared up at Lyrad's Nidoking, which looked down at the Damon's and snorted. Jedd merely stared at both of them, his eyes darting back and forth between the two. Lyrad's was significantly larger than Damon's, and if that was of any relevance, that meant it was also more powerful.

Damon and Lyrad also stared at one another, glancing back between one another and the Nidokings. Damon was on his last chance for the badge, and Lyrad was good enough not to take anything lightly. The Gym Leader's Ariados was testament to the fact that having an advantage in battle didn't mean you'd win the battle.

Jedd stared, eying all four of the figures on the field, not saying a word. Blaze, the Growlithe, stood there, eyes wide. Bukantic, the Ponyta, also stood, her eyes wide as well as both fire Pokemon took in the sight of the two massive poison Pokemon. Jedd swallowed. As far as he could tell, Lyrad still held an ace in his hand. Gym leaders were notorious in having a special move taught to at least one of their Pokemon, and Nidoking was a sure bet on knowing said move.

But it hadn't been used yet.

Lyrad sighed, then smiled, "Nidoking. Double Strike."

So much for it not being used, but Double Strike? What the hell was that?

Lyrad's Nidoking growled, inhaled, and shot out a breath of heated breath, and seemed to relax.

Damon gritted his teeth, looking very uncomfortable about something now, but refused to issue an order to his Nidoking. Instead, he seemed to stare in growing uncertainty at the opposition. Whatever this move was, Damon certainly seemed to know what it was...

Lyrad smiled sadly and said, "Brick Break and Blizzard."

Immediately, the large Nidoking exhaled a blast of frigid air at the other Nidoking. Damon yelled out, "Protect!" and the ice attack hit a barrier, then came the other attack.

Within the very second that the blizzard hit the barrier, Lyrad's Nidoking pulled his fist back, and slammed it through said barrier, and right into Damon's Nidoking's face.

Lyrad snapped out his next orders mercilessly, "Iron Tail and Fire Blast."

As Damon's Nidoking stumbled backwards from the force of the Brick Break, the other Nidoking spun around, slamming his glowing tail against the legs of his opponent, causing said Nidoking to fall to the ground. Then immediately the second attack hit. During the spin, Lyrad's Nidoking had prepared the Fire Blast and with his target in sight and on the ground, he released it.

The explosion was followed by horrible silence as the entire stadium fell silent as they, the referee, and the two trainers, along with Jedd, Blaze, and Bukantic, waiting for the smoke and dust to clear. When it did, Damon's Nidoking lay on the ground, unconscious.

The referee raised the flagged and yelled, "Nidoking is unable to battle. Lyrad and his team are the victors!"

The crowd erupted, cheering on their home team hero as Damon ran forwards to his Pokemon's side. Jedd simply stared at Lyrad calmly walked forward and spoke in a low voice to Damon. Swallowing, Jedd merely shook his head at the power of that attack. Those attacks weren't normal. They seemed even more powerful after the Double Strike had been initiated.

Lyrad finished talking to Damon and returned his Nidoking to the Pokeball. With that behemoth off the field, Jedd finally ran forwards to the pair on the field. Lyrad glanced at him, then his head suddenly looked up behind Jedd in surprise.

Halfway to the trainers, Jedd glanced back behind him, noticing his Pokemon were running right next to him, then he saw what had surprised Lyrad.

"You again, you stinking bastard!" a familiar teenage female with short brown hair, green eyes, and way too much perfume screamed at him. She had jumped over the crowd railing and onto the field, apparently when she saw Jedd.

Jedd finished turning and grinned at the girl happily, "Hello, Stinky! I smell that you haven't had that shower yet," he pinched his nose shut, "ahh, much better."

The girl screamed in pure anger and reached into her pocket. Then she blinked as she pulled back her hand, empty. Jedd grinned innocently, "Awww, did the Shellgon run away from its inadequate, pathetic excuse of a trainer... AGAIN!"

The girl glared at him, "Shut up! I can beat you in a Pokemon battle with my eyes close!"

Jedd shrugged, uninsulted, "No shit, Sherlock! My Pokemon are babies. No battling for them yet. Of course... then again, maybe I would win," Jedd grinned, "I bet the second you closed your eyes, any Pokemon you send out would make a break for it, just to get away from the smell!"

If Jedd thought that the girl's face couldn't get any redder, he was wrong. Glaring with utmost hatred at Jedd, she pulled out a Pokeball from her other pocket and tossed it into the air. Immediately, the Pokemon inside was released onto the ground and Jedd felt his eyes widen at the sight of the large cobra.

"CHARRRR-BOK!" the Arbok hissed out, surging upwards into the air and glaring down at Jedd. Even though the Pokemon was still a good distance away, Jedd could tell this was another large ass Pokemon.

"... Oh shit," Jedd muttered to himself. Blaze stared in terror to his right, but Bukantic stood firm on his other side.

"Sheila! Enough with this!" Lyrad's voice rang out from behind him.

The girl, Sheila snorted and raised her hand, "It'll be enough when I say it's enough! Arbok! Poison Sting on the worthless mutt!"

Jedd a wave of coldness run down his spine at the words. The Arbok screeched and let fly what looked like several dozens upon dozens of white needles, straight for Blaze. Blaze stared in terror at the oncoming attack, whimpering and shutting her eyes, waiting for the attack to cut into her.

It never came.

Up until now, the crowd had been yelling, but now it grew silent. Blaze, stood there, and slowly opened her eyes... and saw feathers.

White down feathers. They were everywhere. It took all of two second to find the source. Jedd stood a couple feet from her, directly between her and the Arbok, and his down jacket had been torn to shreds from the attack. Jedd stood there, his face pale as he looked down at her.

Jedd slowly grinned, "You ok, Blaze?" The Growlithe stared up at him in bewilderment. Jedd swallowed as a wave of sickness ran over him, and he turned back to the girl, Sheila. His back felt like there was ice water on it now as he stared defiantly at her.

Bukantic ran over to him and he immediately put one hand on her back, using her for balance as the world seemed to sway. He could hear what sounded like someone yelling, but it was... Jedd never figured it out as everything went dark.

When Jedd opened his eyes again, it was to a completely alien setting... again. When he opened his eyes earlier, he had gone from his home world to this Pokemon world, now he had gone from the stadium to... here. Jedd blinked and looked around again, he was in a white room, several monitors lined one wall, and he wasn't alone. There was a lady typing on a keyboard, looking intent on her business.

Jedd himself was bare chested, and was resting on a bed. There were several others in the room, but all were void of people. Jedd glanced back at the lady. She had long pink hair and wore a white shirt and light blue pants. Jedd stared at her for a moment, then sighed softly, his head feeling fuzzy.

The lady glanced at him. Seeing him awake, she stood and walked over to him, "How are you feeling?"

Jedd muttered softly, "Like there's a down pillow stuck in my head."

The pink haired female smiled softly, "You're lucky. Sheila's Arbok has very potent venom and you managed to get a good dose of it in that attack."

Jedd blinked, looking up at the ceiling as he tried to think clearly through that fuzzy feeling, "Bah, I'll live. Always do."

The lady smiled and sat by the chair.

Jedd lay there for several seconds then he glanced at her again, "Where's Blaze? She ok? And Bukantic?"

The lady nodded, "Both of your Pokemon are doing just fine. Lyrad's been holding onto them since your attack."

"And Damon?"

The lady sighed, "He left a couple days ago. Off to train his Pokemon some more for a rematch."

It took Jedd about ten seconds to register what she said, then he sat up in surprise, "A couple of days ago? How long was I out?"

"Almost a week now. Like I said, that Arbok poison is very potent. The fact that it took you this long to wake up is proof of that."

A week. He'd been out for about a week. He hung his head, rubbing his eyes, "Shit. Bah. Damn that girl." A thought crossed his mind and he glanced to the lady, "And what about her Shellgon? What happened to it?"

The lady smiled, but didn't answer. Instead she said, "I've got things to do, and I'm sure you're going to want to see your Pokemon. Just head up to the gym and Lyrad'll give them back. Oh, and Damon left some spare clothes for you. The one's you were wearing were soaked with blood... Except for the vest. The sweatshirt you wore under that seemed to absorb most of the blood." She smiled, "I must say, a long sleeve shirt, a sweatshirt, a vest, then a down jacket over all that? "

Not waiting for a response, she stood and walked out, closing the door behind her. As she left, Jedd noticed the neatly folded stack of clothes. Standing, Jedd quickly changed into them, staggering slightly as his unused muscles adjusted. Now in black jeans, a black shirt, and his blue jean vest that had a couple little spots of blood on the inner linings, he moved to the door, opened it, and left.

The lady was standing outside, waiting for him. Jedd stared at her, "I thought you had things to do?"

The lady smiled, "I do. But I forgot that you don't know how to get out of here."

Jedd chuckled softly, "So I don't. I don't suppose you could show me?"

She nodded and began walking at a brisk pace. Jedd had a hard time keeping up with her, but managed to keep from stumbling. After several minutes of turning this way and that, Jedd finally asked, "Where am I?"

The lady glanced back, "This is a medical facility. It's right next door to the Pokemon Center."

Jedd nodded, "So that makes you a doctor?"

She nodded, now, "Yes. I'm Dr. Steller."

As Jedd continued to walk, it became easier as his muscles got used to being used again, "Then does that mean I have you to thanks for saving me?"

Dr. Steller shrugged, "If you want. Though that poison was nasty stuff, it's nothing to the antidotes we get from using Lyrad's Nidoking."

"You make antidotes out of a Nidoking?" Jedd asked, bewildered.

"Yes. Nidokings are highly toxic. We use their poison and change it so it's an equally powerful anti-toxin. It can take a while, but it'll cure almost any type of poison known."

Jedd whistled softly, "Wow. And thanks."

Dr. Steller glanced back and winked, "Just be sure to also thank Lyrad and his Nidoking. Without them, we wouldn't have had the anti-toxin."

The two came to the lobby. Jedd nodded to Dr. Steller and thanked her again, then walked outside. The sun was high in the sky as Jedd stood there, shivering and wishing he had several more layers of clothing to keep warm. The thermostat that hung on the wall read 95 degrees. Jedd glared at it, "Too cold!"

It was a long walk to the Gym, given that Jedd got lost five times looking for it. He very literally had no memory for directions and once somehow ended back at the Pokemon Center/Human Hospital. But finally, he arrived at the Universal Gym.

As he walked in Sasha looked up at him and smiled, "Well. I'm glad to see that you're up and around again. Dr. Steller called to let us know you were heading over. Lyrad's in the stadium with your Pokemon. I think they'll be happy to see you."

Jedd smiled, "Oh, Bukantic might be, but Blaze'll probably just try eating me again."

Sasha smiled and motioned for him to go through the door. Jedd walked down the familiar hallway, the same one he had gone down when Damon had challenged Lyrad. When he came to the fork in the hallway, he took the route that said CHALLENGER and soon arrived at the stadium.

Lyrad stood there, Bukantic and Blaze standing next to him. Upon seeing him, Bukantic whinnied and galloped to him, shoving her head into his stomach lovingly. Jedd grinned then yelped as he was knocked to the ground as Blaze, running after Bukantic, jumped onto the Ponyta, then literally pounced on Jedd's chest.

Jedd fell backwards, stunned as he felt the Growlithe licking at his face. Finally he grinned, and ran his fingers through her fur, "So you finally forgive me, huh? Took you long enough!"

Lyrad was smiling as he walked over to Jedd. Holding out his hand, he helped Jedd up, "I'm glad to see you're up. Any longer and nothing would keep these two from seeing you. They're rather energetic."

Jedd chuckled, "Yeah." He knelt down by Blaze and scratched behind her ear. At least until Bukantic grabbed a mouthful of his hair and pulled.

Lyrad stood there, smiling as he reached into his pocket and pulled something out, "I was instructed to give this to you when you showed up." He held his hand out, palm down.

As Jedd took it, he found himself looking at an Ultraball. Jedd stared at it, then looked up at Lyrad, "What?"

"When Sheila ran for it, it was decided that ownership of her Shellgon was voided. It was suggested that you keep the Shellgon. You're bound to do better at raising her than Sheila did."

Jedd stared at the Ultraball, "This has the Shellgon?"

Lyrad nodded, "Yeah. Poor thing. I'm still waiting for a special cleaning agent to come in so we can get that garbage off her shell, but I did manage to get rid of the stench!"

Jedd stood slowly, holding the Ultraball. Blaze and Bukantic looked up at him as he stood there, then they both looked back at the entryway where Jedd had walked in as someone else came in.

A male voice snorted, "Well, it's about damn time! I told you the damn dolt wouldn't wake up any time soon!"

A female laughed, "I didn't argue! This is Jedd we're talking about!

Jedd whirled around, staring at the two figures with wide eyes, "YOU!"

NOTICE:

As promised back in the first part of Chapter 7, I'll explain why this was a complicated chapter. There were several versions of this chapter running through my head.

The first version didn't have Sheila in it at all. The battle between Damon and Lyrad would start right off the bat, and after that a Reaper would show up and start blowing things up with his Shellgon and Arbok. The Shellgon isn't happy with her trainer and very basically Jedd talks her into leaving her trainer and joining him. At which point the Arbok is ordered to attack Blaze.

Second version is that Sheila didn't run for it and there's a custody battle over the Shellgon and the Shellgon has to decide between the Jedd and Sheila, or being released into the wild.

I went with this version because I liked picking fun at Sheila, and I didn't want to deal with all that custody writing. Still, it was a pain in the ass to write, and I'm more than glad it's finished! Chapter 7 is done with and Chapter 8 will be having Garon's POV, as the cycle finally continues on. Good and done with. Also, please review? If you don't, it'll make Blaze angry and she'll use your shin as a chew toy!
