Vyser: Oh yeah now, I'm back with the next chapter. So, I don't own Pokemon, and probably never will. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 10: Rule Bending

Drano and the Seviper were staring each other down. Blake was thinking about what his next move was while Chase was just smiling.

"I've got this in the bag," Thought Chase, "Now Seviper! Use Giga Drain!"

The Seviper then jumped towards Drano with its fangs out.

"Drano! Dodge!" Yelled Blake but it was too late.

The Seviper was faster then Drano; it sank it teeth into Drano's left arm.

"Now, absorb his energy!" Yelled Chase.

"Come on Blake!" Yelled Joey. "You've got to have something to help you out!"

"Drano! Use Water Pulse!" Yelled Blake as Drano formed a ring of white light at his mouth.

Then Drano shot the attack at the nearby Seviper; the attack hit dead on. The Seviper let go confused.

"Come on Seviper shake it off!" Yelled Chase as the Seviper shook its head to rid itself of the confusion. "We're still in the game!"

"You okay Drano?" Asked Blake as Drano did his shrug and was suddenly glowing white. "What the?"

"Blake, your Totodile! It's evolving!" Yelled Joey as the light of Drano grew a little and when the light died down and a bigger crocodile with a larger mouth with bigger red spikes appeared where Drano was. "It's now a Croconaw!"

"Is that really you Drano?" Asked Blake as the Croconaw did the shrug. "Sweet!"

"This might be a problem," Thought Chase as he was reaching towards his belt. "Good thing I don't play by the rules."

Meanwhile, on the other side of Gardner City, Valerie and Breeze were having a hard time with Sane and his Gastly. Meep and Blitz could only watch from the sidelines. Although it looked like it was a draw, Breeze was the one who was winning.

"Breeze! Now use gust once more!" Said Valerie as Breeze did as it was told and sent a small tornado in the ghost pokemon once more.

The Gastly was knocked to the ground thanks to the gust attack.

"Gastly! You've got to get up!" Said Sane as the Gastly struggled to get up. "What did the manual say about battles? Oh yeah, well here goes nothing!"

As if in sync, Sane and Chase grabbed a poke ball at their belts and threw it releasing the pokemon.

"Go Grimer!" Yelled Sane as a gross glob of purple smile with eyes and a mouth appears right next to the Gastly.

On the other side of Gardner City, Chase had released a pokemon that looked like a ghost with a skull mask on.

"Say hello to Duskull!" Said Chase as Joey grabbed one of his poke balls.

"That ain't fair!" Yelled Joey as he threw his poke ball. "Go Raptor!"

Suddenly a blue dragon like pokemon with a gray head protector appeared. A Bagon!

"Night shade!" Yelled Chase, "And Sludge Bomb!"

The Duskull shot a small blast of black energy from the skull mask, while the Seviper shot a huge black orb of what appeared to be poison.

"Now Raptor, use Dragon Breath!" Said Joey as Raptor shot out a huge green flame into the night shade attack.

"Drano! Ice Beam!" Announced Blake as his newly evolved Drano shot a huge white light from his mouth and blasted the sludge bomb.

The ice beam attack continued and blasted the viper pokemon freezing it in a block of ice.

"No! Seviper!" Yelled Chase as he called back his pokemon. "Okay Duskull! It's up to you now! Use your Ice beam!"

Suddenly, white light blasted from the Duskull mask's eyeholes and headed straight towards Raptor.

"Raptor, use Ember!" Yelled Joey as Raptor shot fire into the ice beam attack.

The attacks met dead on with each other. Though Raptor's attack looked like it was weaker.

"Here's something I don't like," Thought Joey as suddenly a ring of white light blasted the Duskull. "What the?"

"Hey, don't count me out yet," Said Blake.

"Right," Said Joey as he stared at Chase, "Now let's see how you can handle two on one! Raptor, use Dragon breath!"

"Drano! Use Ice beam!" Said Blake as Drano shot a white light from his mouth while Raptor breathed green flames from his mouth both attacks heading towards the Duskull.

The attacks hit dead on! First the green flames engulfed the ghost pokemon, and then the ice beam struck the ghost knocking it out.

"Return." Said Chase as he dropped to his knees and called back his pokemon. "Take your badge! We'll still get another!"

After Chase threw down the badge he had on his uniform, he quickly ran back into the nearby alley and disappeared into the shadows. Both Blake and Joey called back their two pokemon.

"Cool! I got one of my badges back!" Laughed Joey as he picked up his badge and placed it in his pocket. "But, what do you think he meant when he said that he would still get a new badge?"

"Oh no," Said Blake as his eyes widen. "Valerie!"

"Oh that girl who was with you at the gym yesterday?" Asked Joey, a few seconds he finally figured it out. "She won a badge as well!"

"We have to find her!" Yelled Blake and Joey at the same time.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Gardner City, Meep and Blitz joined the battle against Sane's Gastly and Grimer. Breeze was having trouble dealing with the Grimer especially with its multiple attacks like flame-thrower and thief, while Blitz dealt with Gastly and it's weird attacks. Soon, however the battle was taking its toll on Breeze and Blitz.

"This isn't good," Said Valerie as Breeze and Blitz were tired from dodging the attacks.

"This is great! Soon the badge will be mine!" Said Sane, "Let's finish this! Shadow Ball and Sludge bomb!"

As the Gastly shot a huge black orb, the Grimer threw some of its slime. Both of the attacks were heading directly on target. Breeze and Blitz couldn't be able to dodge the attacks were only a few feet away.

"Now! Over Heat!" Yelled a male voice as a huge flame engulfed the two attacks before making contact.

"What in the world!" Asked Sane as a six foot tall guy with snow-white spiky hair, medium build, wearing a blue short sleeve vest with a black T-shirt under it with a flame on it, dark blue pants, dark blue boots, and dark blue gloves. Standing next to him was a Blaziken, on his shoulder was a Torchic. "Who in the world are you?"

"Intro of course, my name is Seth Hiroshima," Said Seth as Sane's eyes widen. "And meet my Blaziken, Blaze, and his son, Blaze Jr."

"You're, you're, you're" Said Sane as Seth was getting annoyed with the stuttering, "You're the Honen League Champion!"

"That's right," Said Seth.

"That's Seth," Said Valerie, "I saw your battle in the league a few years ago!"

"Nice to meet a fan," Said Seth as Sane was getting angry.

"This doesn't concern you!" Yelled Sane.

"It does when you battle girls unfairly," Said Seth, "If you want to battle someone, then battle me. I'll even give you an advantage, your two pokemon against Blaze here."

"You're going to force me if I don't," Said Sane as his two pokemon turned towards Blaze. "So both my pokemon, use Thunder bolt!"

"Is that all you got? Blaze, use your Aerial Ace!" Said Seth as Blaze quickly disappeared and attacked the Grimer instantly causing the slime pokemon to be knocked out. Blaze then quickly jumped out of the way from the ghost pokemon's thunder bolt.

"Return Grimer," Said Sane, "Now Gastly, use confuse ray!"

Gastly then shot two red beams from its eyes straight towards Blaze.

"Nice try, Blaze use over heat!" Yelled Seth as Blaze shot a powerful flame through the confuse ray and blasted the ghost pokemon. "Its over."

"Return," Said Sane as he returned his pokemon and tried to run, "Well, I'll be going now."

Before Sane even had a chance to run, Seth grabbed Sane by the collar of his shirt and lifted him up.

"You have our friend's badge," Said Valerie after she called back Breeze. "So please return it."

"You heard the young lady," Said Seth as Sane dropped the badge from his uniform. Then Seth dropped him on the ground.

"I'm out of here!" Yelled Sane as he ran away.

Just after Sane ran away, Blake and Joey finally found the group.

"Valerie, what just happened?" Asked Blake as he was catching his breath.

"Yeah what we miss?" Asked Joey as Valerie handed Joey his badge.

"Our new friend here helped us," Said Valerie gesturing to Seth.

"Hey, I'm Seth Hiroshima," Said Seth as Blake and Joey's eyes widen. 'Yeah, I'm the Honen League Champion."

"What are you doing here in Saora?" Asked Joey.

"Well, after winning the championship I wanted to try a new challenge," Said Seth. "And Saora was the perfect new place, with my pokemon like Blaze and Blaze Jr."

Seth then pulled out a poke ball that had a flame painted on it, and called back Blaze into the poke ball.

"So, I'll be seeing you guys later," Said Seth as he began to walk away. "I'm sure our paths will cross many times in the future."

As soon as Seth was out of sight, Blake, Valerie, Meep, Blitz and Joey were standing there trying to think of the next move.

"Well, where is the next gym?" Asked Valerie.

"Well, I know where it is," Said Joey, "I could join you to the next gym."

"Well what do you guys say?" Asked Blake.

"I think we should," Said Valerie.

"He seems nice enough," Said Meep as Blitz agreed.

"Okay Joey, it appears we want you to come," Said Blake.

"Great!" Laughed Joey.

"We'll leave tomorrow," Said Valerie.
