"What do you think Kakashi-sensei wants, huh
"What do you think Kakashi-sensei wants, huh?" Sakura asked as she juggled the pokèball that contained Happiny.
"Who knows? That freak…" Sasuke muttered, annoyed.
"I can't wait! It's probably some super hard challenge that only I can accomplish!" Naruto said with pride, pounding his chest. A nurse handed him back his pokèball with a smile on her face and a sweat drop down her cheek.
Sakura and Sasuke looked at each other then to Naruto. "Keep dreaming, idiot." They said simultaneously.
Naruto felt his heart crack. "Don't destroy my dreams so quickly! Give me a chance to take them in!"
Sasuke retrieved his pokèball then grabbed the back of Naruto's shirt and began dragging him back to the gym. "The only thing you'll be 'taking in' is dented head to the doctor if you don't shut up and come on!"
Naruto flailed and protested as he was hauled away. Sakura jumped up. "Wait for me, Sasuke-kun!" She dashed after them.
"Stop reading that filthy book before the children get back!" Iruka exclaimed waving his arms around at Kakashi.
"Huh? What's that Iruka-chan? You want a peek?" He poked the brown-haired referee with the orange book. "Here ya go!"
"Aah! Get it away from me!" He shouted. They continued their quarrel which ended with Iruka snatching away the book. "Here! I'll get rid of it myself!"
The kids stepped into the gym. Sakura immediately squealed. "KYAAAAA!! EW!! IRUKA-SAN, YOU'RE A PREVERT FAN OF THAT PEEEERVY BOOK, TOO?! KYAA!!"
Iruka looked to Sakura then the book, Sakura, book, Sakura, book. His face turned red and he threw the unwanted object at Kakashi. "Damn you, Kakashi!"
Sakura was still freaking out, Naruto pointed and laughed while Sasuke rubbed the bridge of his nose and sighed.
After a bit of squabble they all ended up sitting properly on the floor politely and quietly facing one another.
"What did you want to show us?" Naruto eagerly questioned.
Kakashi rubbed the back of his head. "Oh? That? Well, that, I just wanted to play a game."
"A game?" Sakura reiterated.
Kakashi nodded. "Yes. You each use one of your pokémon and I use the both of mine. This game will practice the aim of your pokémon. You each attack my pokèmon, whom will do nothing but dodge. The first two to get a hit in will be safe."
Sakura and Naruto gulped, Sasuke scoffed. Safe? They all thought.
"U-um, if you don't mind me asking, sensei…" Sakura started, one eyebrow twitching.
"And if I do mind?" Kakashi snarled evilly.
Sakura winced.
"Go ahead." Kakashi allowed kindly and gently.
A vein pulsed on the pink-haired girl's large forehead. I'm reeeeally starting to hate this guy… "Well, I just wanted to know what you mean by safe?"
He gave a look of pleasantness or friendliness but an aura of merciless cruelty. The children's faces turned blue and all shook with unforgiving fear. Even Iruka flinched in fright.
"Well," Kakashi said, standing, "Let's begin? Shall we?"
The kids stood and nodded, full of excitement and determination.
"This is a test…" The silver haired man sneered. "You surely will all fail!" He announced with unhindered pride.
The three growled.
(Tell you the truth, the break line above feels a bit random…but I think it was needed.)
Iruka's flag swooped down. The battle has begun. Kakashi sat at the sidelines, since his pokémon were doing nothing rather than dodging. He would only cheer the two on.
"Happiny, pound on Ditto!" Sakura commanded. Happiny charged.
"Quick attack on Farfetch'd before it can take to the air!" Naruto quickly demanded. Vulpix picked up more and more speed during its impressive sprint forward.
"Umbreon," Sasuke called, all heads turned to the pair. Umbreon trilled and barked, Sasuke was unaffected by the attention they gained.. "Quick attack on Ditto." He said coolly. Umbreon seemed to flash and disappear, being seen in intervals throughout the dash to Ditto.
Ditto's eyes glanced around every which way, running towards it. It squeaked then jiggled around before transforming. What's it changing into? Went through all of the human's heads.
"Farfetch'd!" The newly altered Ditto screeched as it flapped its unfamiliar wings. Happiny slid to a halt, her glowing fist faded to normality and frown now present on her face.
"Umbre…!" Umbreon leaped into the air from behind Ditto, pouncing. Ditto shrieked as it flew higher into the air.
Meanwhile, Vulpix made its move, missing the experienced and highly skilled Farfetch'd whose wings now graced the air.
Vulpix growled in disappointment and yipped at the bird pokémon. Farfetch'd howled with laughter.
"Grr. Vulpix, aim as high as you can and use Will-o-wisp!" Naruto shouted.
"Pix!" Vulpix bowed down its head, preparing itself, then yanking up is head, he blew a swirl a fire that crawled upward, attempting to engulf the panicked Farfetch'd. The bird pokèmon's wings had to work harder and harder as the flames came closer and closer.
Vulpix stopped its attack and panted. The relieved Farfetch'd now several feet from where it first started and high into the air. Vulpix's chest puffed up and with shrill cry blew fire once more.
"Don't push yourself too far, Vulpix!" Naruto advised, noticing his pokèmon's small legs shaking from the amount of strength it was putting out.
"Confuse ray on Ditto." Sasuke then calmly told his Umbreon who reacted immediately.
"Um…bre…on!" The black pokémon grunted as the ray bobbed towards its foe.
Ditto flapped frantically as it watched the ray creep over. One the ball touched him he began flying in wild and random patterns.
"Far…f-fetch'derrrr…" Ditto mumbled insanely.
"There." Sasuke said as though concluding his part of the game. He took out the pokèball that was to hold Umbreon.
"Nuh-uh-uh!" Kakashi wagged his finger. "Confuse ray is a co contact, 100 accuracy, and non damaging kind of move. Does that sound like you actually got a hit in?"
"Bastard…" Sasuke cursed under his breath then guided his attention back to the task at hand. "Umbreon, Quick attack on Ditto while he's still out of it!"
Ditto went up and down, in circles, and lines, eyes resembling swirls.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke-kun," Sakura muttered. "ButIhavetobesafeandI'mprettysureNarutohasFarfetch'dandwhileIhavesuchagoodchanceIneedHappinytoUSE POUND ON DITTO!" Sakura spoke so fast Sasuke merely blinked and sighed for the second time within the hour.
Happiny made his run forward to punch Ditto, bouncing into the air when the bird pokémon was at its lowest and forcing its fist down. Farfetch'd drunkenly dodged by slipping out the way. Happiny landed to the ground on its bottom causing it to cry. Sakura ran to her side.
Sasuke's eyebrow twitched in aggravation.
Vulpix huffed and puffed, low on energy. He laid down and let its tongue hang out.
"Vulpix!" Naruto whined. Farfetch'd saw this as a sign that it was safe to come from the height of the gigantic gym's ceiling and swooped down next to its good friend Ditto, planning to help.
The two conversed in their own little language, not seeing the Umbreon making a jump for Ditto.
"Look out!" Kakashi yelled. Was it too late??
A thud sound was made as a Farfetch'd had been slammed to the gym floor. Umbreon growled at the Farfetch'd underneath it.
Ditto snapped out of it and now flew correctly, but worried for its friend, Farfetch'd, who had taken the hit he was supposed to have. It tweeted with disapproval of the act of bravery.
Farfetch'd smiled at it and said something as it was called back into its pokèball.
"Well, what do ya know, Farfetch'd protected his best friend, Ditto, from Sasuke's move. So, Sasuke, you're safe." Kakashi announced and placed the pokèball in a fanny pack that rested on his side.
"That means that there's only me an' Vulpix, Sakura-chan and the whiny baby Happiny, and one weakened Ditto. This'll be a piece of cake." Naruto informed.
Sakura hit his head with a powerful fist. "Shut it, would ya!?" She roared. "Now, Happiny use Sweet Kiss then Pound directly afterwards!"
Happiny nodded. She twirled as she hopped in the air and cutely blew a heart shaped kiss.
Naruto blushed from the adorable sight occurring before him while Sasuke, who was now sitting by Kakashi in the audience (Umbreon put away), retched in disgust of view.
"Oh yeah!" Naruto suddenly exclaimed, now aware that he was getting distracted. "Vulpix, Quick Attack before Happiny can get to the confused Ditto!"
Ditto was hit by the Sweet Kiss and once again started flying like a maniac. Kakashi questioned how Ditto was so easily hit by an amateur's 75 accuracy move, but promptly pushed the thought away and turned back to the battle.
Both Happiny and Vulpix charged Ditto at the same time. The was an blast of smoke as all three hurdled to the ground.
Sakura and Naruto called out the names of their pokémon in fear then jogged to the screen shrouded in dust.
"Ah, if they've ruined the gym, I may be in trouble." Kakashi complained with no worry drifting anywhere in his voice.
The blanket of dirt settled away to show a determined Happiny's glowing hand that had just made an impression in Ditto's face. Vulpix was several feet away, having missed Ditto completely. The copy pokémon then jolted and jerked in pain then poofed back into a pink-purple blob.
Sakura and Happiny hopped and danced around in joy. "Yes! Hooray! We did it, Happiny!" The pink pre-evolution bounced into Sakura's arms and thrashed around with happiness in the hug. Sakura and Happiny seemed to have rays of glee vibrating off of them.
Naruto and Vulpix's souls slid out their bodies and their bodies' colors escaped them. A single tear leaked from the sides of their eyes. "Well, guys, its been fun! Lets go, Vulpix!" The two raised their feet and faced the door only to be blocked off by a creepy Kakashi and wicked Ditto that had a bandage on its cheek.
"Where do you think you're going?" Kakashi hissed with a strange spiteful sympathy.
Ditto angrily peeped at the two. Naruto and Vulpix shivered and quivered relentlessly.
"You can't go anywhere until," Kakashi slimed closer to him. Even Iruka, Sasuke, and Sakura felt chills slug up their spines. "I inform you that you all FAIL. Horribly."
The three stopped what they were doing and blinked, glimpsing at each other.
"WH-AAAAT?!" Naruto abruptly hollered. "You scare the living daylights out of me And then… THAT?!"
Kakashi chuckled. "Well, allow me to explain. You three are a terrible team."
Their eyes widened from the shock and their stomachs curled over.
Iruka, seeing the children's hurt expressions decided to butt in. "Kakashi, that's enough, you're being-"
"Back out of this. It has nothing to do with you." The silver haired man barked. Iruka winced, Kakashi's voice and look so painfully and frighteningly serious. His head hung down. "Now as I was saying, if anything,
You three should never work together again. The worse team I've seen."
Sakura felt tears drip out and her arms grabbed each other's elbows. Her mouth hung open.
Sasuke scoffed and glared to the gym's ground, eyes glazed with hatred and pain.
Naruto grabbed his stomach and mouthed words. His eyes begged to him to let them cry. No way that this guy was saying. There was no way that he would have to break off from his first friends? Best friends? Only friends? He was looking forward to going on this journey with them so much and this guy they just met has to go and say these things?
"You wouldn't be able to win a single battle together. You shouldn't even consider entering this contest in this group. If really want to win you would have to find completely new teammates. There's no chance of success for you three together. You should break all bonds off." Kakashi told them, smirking under his mask.
Iruka pitied them, staring to the floor. Kakashi's arms crossed with assurance, the kids still in their previous positions.
We should… break away from…each other?!
