Chapter 10
Team RWBY and many trainers went back at the Pokemon Center and call it a day as nightfall was approaching. Weiss was holding one of her Eevees with one arm and feeding Tilly with a bottle. Oswald is helping out with Billy's feeding as well. "You're such a good big brother, aren't you Oswald?" Oswald smile and glad to help out while feeling a bit embarrassed. "So May," May says as she looked at the baby Eevees, "where did you get two shiny Eevees?" "I would like to know as well." says Shauna, who is also curious. "Well, it happened when Oswald and I were investigating some strange glow in the bushes. As we get closer, we say two eggs that hatched into these two cuties!" "That is pretty interesting." Blake says as she smiles at the newborns. "Guess they thought you were their mother when they open their eyes." Ruby is just sitting on one side of the seats while admiring the cute baby Eevees. Ruby asks, "Can I pet one of them?" But Weiss just deadpans, "...No." Then Weiss continues to snuggle her new pokemon.
"Changing the subject," Blake began, "who was that guy and those things on his gloves?" "I would like to know, too." Weiss then stops snuggling and take an interest in the conversation. "Not only that, what is a Z-Move?" Ruby pointed out as she remembers what Franklin says and did. "Are those dance moves related?" May then tells them about the Z-Crystals, the Alolan Island Challenges, and what they're for. She even told them about the keystones and megastones which he had the keystone on the back of his hand. "Wow," Yang went after hearing all of that, "can we get any of that stuff here?" "I believe so." May says but is unsure, "I think there are some islands that do the Island Challenges at the Santamony Islands to the east. Some of those islands were colonized by immigrants from Alola. But they will only let you take them if you have eight out of twelve badges."
"What about that guy with the Alolan Ninetails?" Blake asks who is extraordinarily curious, "What was his name again?" Rusty then tries to answer, "I think his name was...Fatfork!" Everyone looked at Rusty with 'what the heck' faces and are disappointed. "What did I say?" "His name is, Franklin." Leaf says as she walks towards the group. "Oh, hey Leaf." Yang greats the girl. "HI!" Ruby shouted with cheer. "His name is Franklin?" Weiss says as the two Eevees sleep on her lap and Oswald sleeps next to her. "Yes. And he's the one who defeated Red. The (former) champion of Kanto." Rusty started laughing, "Ha-ha-ha-ha! That's funny! No one can beat, Red!" Leaf was giving a serious look as silence filled the area. Rusty's doofus smile then turns upside down after seeing the serious look Leaf was giving.
"You can't be serious!" His tone change drastically. Rusty cannot believe that someone has defeated his idol. "But, how? When did it happened?" "It happened a long time ago." says the strange young man not too far. "Blue!" Leaf is completely shocked to see Blue who appeared out of the...well...blue. "Who's that?" Yang asked as he noticed the strange figure. "Holy Milktank. That's Blue Oak. Professor Oak's grandson and Red's rival. He used to be champion until Red beat him." "Hmph. Looks like someone did their homework." Blue says to Rusty with some slight amusement. "Not only that, a complete loser who likes to play pretend." "Well I...Hey, wait a minute. Was that an insult?" 'This guy doesn't have much of a brain.' everyone thought at once. Leaf just ignores Rusty, "Why are you- Oh wait, Franklin, right?" The members of Team RWBY are confused and have no idea what is going on. "Excuse me," Ruby raised her hand, "but can you fill us in?" Blue just took a deep sigh, "Alright, I'll tell you."
FLASHBACK
Pallet Town/3 Years Ago
"Mewtwo is a clone of Mew." Red says as he sat at a table with Blue, Professor Oak, and one of the professor's assistants while eating strawberry cake. The three gasped after hearing Red's words. Red jumped up from his seat and shouts, "That means Mew is still out there!" After that proclamation, there was a knock at the door and they went to see who is it. Upon opening the door, they see Franklin, back when he was 10 years old. The same age as Blue and Red. "May I help you?" Professor Oak says and is confused on the hooded figure.
Franklin removes his hood and greets everyone with a smile. "Hello there, I'm Franklin." he says with a chipper attitude, "I'm here to see the champion." He then pulled out his badge case to show his eight badges. "I've been up to Indigo Plateau and fought the Elite Four. However, the said the champion wasn't there. They told me I would find him here." He turned his gaze over to the two boys. "I'm guessing the one in red is...Red. Correct?" Red just nodded yes. Franklin pointed his finger at him, "Then I challenge you! To a pokemon battle!" "...Eeeeeeehhhhh?" Red was taken by surprise. But yet again, it is to be expected for the champion of the entire region. "O-okay. Just give me a moment." Red went back inside to chose which pokemon is he going to use in battle. "Oh, Mr. Oak?" "That's Professor Oak." "My bad. Anyway..." he reached into his pocket and pulled out his megadex, "you and your grandson should use this. I'll be using pokemon that aren't native to Kanto." "Oh. I see." Professor Oak says as he took the megadex. "Wait a second gramps, what does he mean by-" "Okay, I'm ready!"
Professor Oak is the judge with Blue by his side and is curious to see what type of pokemon Franklin is using. "Alright. This will be a six on six battle between Red, the champion, and Franklin, the challenger. Each side can substitute pokemon in mid-battle, no time limit, let the match begin!"
Red: "Pikachu! I choose you!"
Franklin: "Go, Mudsdale!"
Both pokemon appeared on the field. Professor Oak then used the megadex. "Mudsdale. The draft horse pokemon and the evolve form of Mudbray. It spits a mud that provides resistance to both wind and rain, so the walls of old houses were often coated with it. Its heavy, mud-covered kicks are its best means of attack, and it can reduce large trucks to scrap without breaking a sweat." "Where did he get that?" Blue asks after hearing that. "It must be a pokemon of Alola." Red looks at the new pokemon with amazement and is curious about Mudsdale. But he decides to wait until later. Right now, he's got a battle to win.
Red: "Pikachu, use thunderbolt!"
Pikachu jumps into the air and used thunderbolt. But it didn't work.
Red: "Why didn't it work?"
Franklin: "That's because Mudsdale is a ground-type. Now use mega kick!"
Mudsdale's left back hoof started to glow metallic light blue and hits Pikachu.
Red: "Hang in there Pikachu!" 'Maybe this will work.' "Use swift!"
Pikachu lashes his tail and stars came out to take down Mudsdale.
Franklin: "Use high horsepower!"
Red: "High what?"
Mudsdale charges at full speed as the stars from swift get deflected and does a critical hit against Pikachu which sends him flying towards a tree and fainted.
Red: "Pikachu!"
Prof. Oak: "Pikachu is unable to battle. The winner is Mudsdale."
Mudsdale rubbed his snout on Franklin's face and Franklin shows his appreciation by petting his locks and chin. 'What am I gonna do now?' Red thought to himself, 'Wait! If that pokemon's a ground-type...then maybe this one should work. But what if he switches them out. Oh well. Nothing venture, nothing gain.'
Red: "Go! Kabutops!"
Franklin then recalls his Mudsdale to use another pokemon. "Go! Kommo-o!"
Red then gets to see another pokemon he has never seen before. Professor Oak uses Franklin's megadex again. "Kommo-o. The scaly pokemon and the evolve form of Hakamo-o. When it spots enemies, it threatens them by jingling the scales on its tail. Weak opponents will crack and flee in panic. Its rigid scales function as offense and defense. In the past, its scales were processed and used to make weapons and other commodities." "Is that another pokemon from the Alola Region, gramps?" "Indeed. And once again, Red is at a disadvantage."
Red: "Use hydro pump!"
Franklin: "Shield yourself!"
Kommo-o raised his arms to shield himself against Kabutops hydro pump. Red is confuse on what is happening. "Why do that?" After the hydro pump stopped, some of the scales are cracked. Kommo-o lowers his arms and gives off a smirk. "Now use sky uppercut!" Kommo-o's fist glows light blue and uppercuts Kabutops into the air. Then comes crashing down a few seconds later, leaving a crater in the ground. Kabutops has fainted.
Prof. Oak: "Kabutops is unable to battle. The winner is Kommo-o!"
Kommo-o gave each other a series of high fives for their victory. 'One hit?' Blue thought is a state of astonishment, 'One hit and Red's pokemon is down? Just how strong is this guy?'
Red: "Looks like I have to get serious. Go, Dragonite!"
Franklin calls back his Kommo-o and unleashes another pokemon. "Go! Ninetails!" When Franklin's Ninetails appeared, Red is taken by surprise. 'What type of Ninetails is that?' he thought, 'Best be careful. Despite its appearance, Ninetails is part fire-type so-' "Use ice beam!" "Say what?!" Ninetails uses ice beam on Dragonite, but luckily Dragonite dodged and flew high up in the air. "Alright Dragonite, use dragon breath!" Dragonite use dragon breath on Ninetails, but has no effect. "What the- ...How?" "RED!" Professor Oak yells out to him, "That Ninetails is both and ice-type and FAIRY-type! Dragon-type moves have no effect on fairy-types!" "Fairy-type?" "Now! Use dazzling gleam!" Dragonite then fainted. "Dragonite is unable to battle! The winner is Ninetails!"
Red angrily calls back his Dragonite. "I need to take him out." Red says angrily under his breath. He then throws another pokeball, "Go! Articuno!" Franklin calls back his Ninetails after comforting her then call upon his fourth pokemon. "Go! Mew!"
Rusty: "Hold on, hold on! He has a what?!"
Blue: "Let me finish."
Ruby: "Yeah, this is getting good!"
May: "I would like to know, too!"
Rusty: "...Sorry. Please continue."
Blue: "Anyway, where was I? Oh yes..."
Red: "Say what?"
Blue: "Huh?"
Prof. Oak: "He has one?"
To much of their shock, he actually has one and it now faces Red's Articuno. "Where did you get that pokemon?" Red asks as he stands there in amazement and shock. "I just found this little guy by accident. Now let's do this!" "Go, Articuno! Use hyper beam!" "Use thunder!" Articuno fires its hyper beam but got intercepted by Mew's thunder. "Now use fire blast!" Mew used a fire blast attack and hit Articuno. "Now use thunder!" Mew charges up the electric-type attack and did a critical hit on Articuno. Articuno has fainted.
Prof. Oak: "Articuno is unable to battle! The winner is Mew!"
Red is taken completely by surprise that Mew can use electric-type and fire-type moves. Blue was surprise as well along with Prof. Oak. "Red!" Blue shouted to his rival, "Use Mewtwo!" "Alright, lets see if the duplicate can surpass the original! Go, Mewtwo!" Mewtwo appeared on the field and ready for battle. "Mew, return!" "Huh?" Red went as Mew returns to its pokeball. "Wait, why?" "I got something that can actually defeat that clone. Go, Sableye!" Once again, Red sees a pokemon he has never seen before and is unsure what to expect. "Now for a little something extra." Franklin showed his keystone as his Sableye shows his megastone that he has hidden in his mouth. "Now keystone, show my enemy the power of our bond!" Franklin's keystone and Sableye's megstone started to glow to show their strong bond. Then, after a flash of light, Sableye became Mega Sableye.
"So that's what they are." Red then finally realize the stones Mr. Fuji gave him some time ago which he used against Mewtwo. "Mewtwo, use swift!" Mewtwo uses swift but nothing happened. "What the... Oh, I get it. It's a ghost-type." "Use fling!" Mega Sableye flung his giant gemstone at Mewtwo. "Use barrier!" Mewtwo erected a psychic barrier to fend off the giant gemstone, which it got reflected. "Now use confusion!" Mewtwo use confusion, but nothing happened. "What is going on, gramps?" Blue asked who is confuse on what is going on. "Sableye is part dark-type. Which means it is immune to psychic-type moves."
"Now use shadow claw!" Mega Sableye uses shadow claw and hits Mewtwo right in the jaw. "Now use fling!" "Quick Mewtwo, use recover!" But Mewtwo was too slow as Mega Sableye does a direct hit on Mewtwo. Mewtwo has fainted. Everyone is in shock to see the most powerful pokemon, has been beaten so easily. "M-M-Mewtwo is unable to battle! The winner is Mega Sableye." As Red recalls Mewtwo, "Don't worry, Mewtwo. I'll do what I can with my last pokemon. Go! Charizard!" Mega Sableye returns to being regular Sableye and gets recall. "Go! Sylveon!" As Sylveon appears on the field, Prof. Oak uses the megadex while Blue laughed how girly it looks. "Sylveon. The intertwining pokemon and the evolve form of Eevee. Its ribbonlike feelers give off an aura that weakens hostility in its prey, causing them to let down their guard. Then it attacks. It wraps its ribbonlike feelers around the arm of its beloved Trainer and walks with him or her."
Red then pulls out his keystone and has Charizard evolve into Mega Charizard X. Blue facepalmed, "What are you thinking?" "Huh?" Red went, "What are you talking about." Blue points out, "Sylveon is a fairy-type and your Charizard is now part dragon-type!" Then Franklin uses his Z-Ring to activate a Z-Move. "Now, Sylveon!" then does some sort of dance, "Use Twinkle Tackle!" The are is enveloped into some strange bright place as Sylveon charges with stars at Mega Charizard X. Then BOOM! Mega Charizard X has taken heavy damage, but is still able to move. Bruise and beaten, Red then gives the order, "Use seismic toss! Quickly!" "That is one stubborn Charizard. Oh well, use attract!" Sylveon gives an attractive wink as hearts circle around the charging Mega Charizard.
He stopped as he has fallen in love with Sylveon. "Now use draining kiss." Sylveon jumped up on Mega Charizard's shoulder and gave him a kiss. Mega Charizard X fainted as Sylveon hops around for victory. Then she charges right up to Franklin and snuggles him. "Red is out of pokemon! So the winner and champion of Kanto is, Franklin!"
Blue stopped his story as he witness Franklin coming into the front doors of the Pokemon Center. He immediately ran up to him while shouting, "Hey! Franklin!" Franklin stopped and takes noticed to Blue. "Oh hey! How have you be-" Blue raise his pokeball at Franklin's face, "I challenge you to a battle!" He is very angry as he initiates his challenge, "Right here! Right now!"
