Hello again people! It's time for the next chapter! *sigh* let's start the story already. Disclaimer please!
Celestio: SuperDaikenki does not own pokémon.
Chapter 10: The Guild Cup Pt1!
*?*
Jesse is seen running through a darkened area as a figure is chasing him launching several attacks at him.
"Please stop! Why are you doing this!?" The Riolu shouted.
The figure said nothing as it hit Jesse with an unknown attack.
"Please…stop…" Jesse said weakly until he lost consciousness.
Jesse woke up panting heavily as he looked around; he saw that everyone is still sleeping.
*Sigh* "It's just a dream." The fighting type said to himself before going back to sleep.
*Later that morning*
"Guild rule number three! Your friends are valuable partners! Never neglect them at times of need!"
"Ok, pokémon! Dismiss!" Flame shouted as everyone separated.
"Should we ask her?" Dew said to the team.
"It doesn't hurt to ask." Responded Mystic.
"Flame, what do you know about the Western Desert?" Morgan asked the guildmaster.
"The Western Desert is an area where lots of tough pokémon reside. There is no other area that is harsh as that area." Flame explained. "Why do you want to know anyway?" She asked.
"You know the outlaw we caught yesterday?" Dew questioned.
"What about him?" The Guildmaster responded.
"The letter he sent us told us about the whereabouts of our parents." Morgan finished. "They are in a town somewhere near there."
"So, aren't we able to go?" Mystic asked.
"Until you proved to me that you're strong enough, I'll let you take a mission there." Flame sternly said as she walked away.
"Hey! We are strong enough to do this!" Static yelled before getting hit in the back of the head by Jesse.
"We just joined the guild." Jesse stated.
"And we just added you on our team, so don't overdue it." Dew continued.
"Fine." The Pikachu grumbled under his breath.
"So what should we do now?" Mystic asked.
"I guess we could either do some training in the courtyard, or start doing some side missions." Dew suggested.
"It's probably best that we start training." Morgan said.
"Yeah, we need to show Flame that we are strong enough." Static replied
"I have no problem with that." Agreed Mystic.
"Alright, lets go." Jesse said as the team walked away.
*The Courtyard*
Team Ivory walked into the courtyard and noticed something different. Almost every pokémon from the guild is present as well as a few pokémon outside of the guild, there appears to be a desk which a bunch of pokémon are lined up, and Star, the guild assistant, is standing in the center of the courtyard.
"What's going on here?" Asked Dew.
"It is a weekly tournament the guild holds. It is known as the Guild Cup." A voice explained.
Team Ivory turned around to see who was talking to them and saw a familiar Charmeleon.
"Hey Al." Jesse said giving him a high five/paw. "Where's Grant and Brody?"
"Grant is at the table registering, while Brody…" The fire type stopped.
"Is being Brody?" Morgan asked as Alistar nodded his head.
"Hey, I noticed that you have a new member." Al said looking at Static. "Who are you?"
"I'm Static, and I'm from one of the best known Raichu clans." The electric type stated proudly.
"Wow, that's pretty cool." Al complimented.
"Yeah, it is." Static responded.
"So what is this tournament anyway?" Questioned Mystic
"Every week, the guild holds a tournament where a bunch of pokémon will battle each other. Not only you get stronger from the battle, but you also get a lot of training experience." Al explained.
"That's really interesting." Dew said interested.
"It really is, you guys should sign up." Suggested Alistar.
"How do we do that?" Asked Jesse.
"You go at the table and state your name. There, there will assign you a number and you will battle with another pokémon when your number and that other number is called." The fire type explained once more as he pulled out a card with the number "20".
"Well, we do need some training." Morgan said quietly.
"Ok then, let's sign up." Dew replied as he went to the table to register.
It wasn't long that team Ivory registered. Each team member was given a random number. Morgan's number is 10, Dew's number is 44, Mystic's number is 13, Static's number is 5, and Jesse is number 23.
"So, what should we do now…" Mystic asked before a voice spoke out.
"Hello everyone! And welcome to the Guild Cup!" Star shouted surprisingly.
"Wow, what happened to her monotone voice?" Jesse asked before Star spoke again,
"As you see, everyone has been given a random number and will battle another pokémon of that number!" The Xatu explained. "The winner of the tournament, their team will get a special prize!" Star said as the crowd cheered.
"Alright! The first number is number 9 vs. number 20!" Star announced.
Two pokémon entered to the middle of the field as Grant the Grovyle is face to face with a short mole like pokémon with metal claws, and a steel horn on its head.
"Ha! This is going to be easy. Type disadvantage of not, you cannot defeat Claw!" The Excadrill boasted as Grant shook his head.
"Ready, begin!" Star yelled as she flew away.
"Time for Claw to end this." Claw said with a cocky grin.
"Leaf Blade!" Grant shouted as he sliced the ground/steel type taking him down easily.
"If you weren't so busy speaking in third person, maybe you would've stood a chance." Grant said to the Excadrill coldly as he walked away leaving most of the crowd stunned.
"The winner is number 9!" Star shouted as the crowd cheered. "Next up is number 40 vs. number 16!"
The two other pokémon showed up in the center. The first pokémon is a brown bird like pokémon with a large beak, while the other pokémon happens to be Niveus from Team Autumn.
"Ok, I gotta be sure to win this." The Fearow said to herself. "I ain't gonna lose this one."
"Of course you aren't. You will win so many that you will be considered a legendary." The Glaceon retorted sarcastically."
"We'll see about that." The Fearow replied angrily.
"Alright, begin!"
"Drill Peck!" The Fearow shouted as she flew towards Niveus with her beak spinning like a drill.
"Double Team!" The Glaceon yelled as several copies of herself. The Fearow's attack only hit one of the copies.
"Wow, Niveus is doing really good out there." Mystic said impressed.
"Yeah, I hope Nive does really well out there." A familiar voice said as he approached Team Ivory.
"Hey Folium." Dew spoke, "You sighed up too?"
"Yeah, I'm number 30." The Leafeon replied. "There appears to be a lot of tough pokémon around here, I feel a bit apprehensive about it, but I'm sure that I think I can manage."
"Same here." Morgan spoke to herself.
"Anyway's should we watch your girlfriend's battle." Mystic said.
"Wha…She's not my girlfriend!" Shouted Folium blushing madly.
Niveus happened to heard he outburst as she got hit by a Ariel Ace.
"No! Nive!" Folium yelled.
"Yep, you like her." Spoke Morgan.
"What's wrong?" The Fearow taunted. "Can't let battle without your boyfriend?"
"Shut up! Ice beam!" The Glaceon yelled as she fired a freezing beam of ice at her.
"Horn Drill!" The Fearow shouted as she hit Niveus with her beak.
"No…" Said Team Ivory and Folium.
As soon as the attack hit, the "Niveus" has disappeared.
"Wait, what the?" The Fearow said stunned.
"Iron Tail!" Screamed the Glaceon as her tail glowed silver and hit the Fearow square in the neck.
"Nice critical hit." Commented Folium.
"Katie is unable to battle! The winner is Niveus!" Stay yelled as the crowd cheered.
"Congratulations Niveus." Dew said as she approached the group.
"You did really well." Replied Morgan.
"Yeah, it was awesome." Spoke Static.
"Nive! I'm really glad that you wo…" Folium said before getting hit with an Ice Beam to the face.
"Next time, please don't distract me like that." The Glaceon said before giving him a small kiss on the cheek.
"Alright!" Star yelled before anyone else could speak. " Will number 44 and number 16 please come up!"
"Looks like I'm up." Dew spoke before walking up to the center of the courtyard.
As Dew went to the courtyard, he is met by a tall pokémon, he almost resembled a knight as he has a red body and blades on his torso. The two said nothing as they waited for Star to speak.
"Alright, 44, 16, Begin!"
Alright, it's time for me to end it here. So yeah, Dew's battle will be up. Origially, I was going to have Morgan fight Niveus, but whatever. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it.
