So, so sorry about not uploading... i just had some really bad family troubles. First my uncle-in-law died, then my fucking shit ass bullfuck smegma cockfucker of a landlord kicked me out... i'm just having a hard time right now. But, that concerns no one but my family, so as a little apology from me to you, have the next three chapters right now.
"So," The policemen said after I had finished my long story. His demeanor was calm, yet his hand shook when he took a sip of his coffee. "That is the whole story? Nothing left out?"
"Yeah, that's everything I can remember. So can I go now?"
The policeman sighed, and rubbed his brow. "Yes, I suppose so. But if you get in any more trouble like this, you will be placed in lock-up. From now on, until your story can be verified, you and all your friends will be on probation. Is that something you see fair? Because that's what you're getting." He said in a clearly bored voice.
"Fine, yeah that seems fair enough." I said. He stood up, walked around the table, and unlocked my handcuffs. "Sorry for any inconvenience sir. Have a nice day."
"Yeah, none taken." I replied, rubbing my wrists. I walked outside the door, walked twenty feet and retrieved Xavier's and Brandon's balls, and they gave me the Aron's pokeball. I had to place him in one; otherwise they would keep him at the station. I believe the Magma guy had called him, 'Titus'? I don't quite remember. I'll have to ask him. Or her. I hope it's a him, otherwise stuff may get awkward. Zack walked out of a door farther down the hallway and flipped off the guy in there. He walked over to me.
"Can you believe the assholes this place has?" He talked to me while he got Ele back. "I swear, the guy I was talking to was waiting for me to say something so he could arrest me."
"So how many times did you swear at him?" I asked.
"I lost count." The clerk gave Zack a crate with Ele's pokeball. He grabbed it and placed it on his belt. "Come on, let's go."
We walked out the front door of the police station and went back over to the Pokecenter, which was only a block away. We passed a large market place, and I was very tempted to stop at one particular little shop which sold all sorts of new pokeballs. I saw one that looked like the one the Rhyperior was in. I looked at the price and paled. I immediately turned around and continued down the stoned path. We went up to the pokecenter and the doors automatically opened. The fresh, cool air of the interior flowed over us and we stepped in.
…
…
…
I set my stuff on the bed and lied down.
"Jesus I'm exhausted. In one day, we were on a boat, stopped off here, went into a cave, fought a bit of Team Magma, escaped said cave when it collapsed, got arrested by the cops, and we're here now, only 5 hours later." I said lying on my back. "Oh shit!" I exclaimed, sitting up.
"What now? Leave your beer downstairs?"
"You know I don't drink. And no, it's not that. I nearly forgot to give the Aron a nickname!"
"Doesn't he have a nickname? Titan or something like that?"
"Do you really think he wants to keep something like that?" I pulled out his pokeball from the backpack. "Sweet! Found him. Come on out!"
I threw the pokeball down onto the ground and he materialized 4 feet in front of me. As soon as he came out he jumped on my chest and I fell on the wall, winded. All I could hear was the same noise, metallic whirling right next to my ear. I pressed the button on the PokeTranslator to hear him, and it blared in my headset.
"THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!"
"SWEET FUCKING JESUS!" I pushed off the Aron and turned my headset down to the lowest volume. I fell on my face and just lied there. The Aron walked around me and looked at my face, then sat down next to me.
"Sorry about that, but I'm just so happy to be free of that bad, bad man! He took me from my family and put that neck ring on me. It hurt me very much, so I thank you for saving me! What's your name, helper?" The little, apparently young, Aron said, sitting next to me.
I sat up and rubbed the back of my head. "Uh, my name is Jack Allen, and what is your name?"
The Aron stopped. "I don't know. I don't remember my name from my parents, and I don't want the name the guy who stole me gave me anymore. Can you give me a name?"
"Um, I'm not too good with names, but I do have one in mind. How about Chester?" I said, sheepishly. The Aron stood still, looking down at the ground in front of him. Then his eyes lit up and he looked up at me.
"I love it!" He shouted, jumping into the air. Curious, I pulled out my PokeDex and scanned Chester.

"Jesus, how long did the guy have you, Chester?" I asked, reeling from how young he is. I got Brandon when he was about 14 months old, but he was just a house pet, according to Ruby. Not some forced fighter. Just another reason to stop Magma.
He looked crestfallen, but he muttered out something.
"Um, what was that?" I asked, leaning down.
"He's had me, almost all that I can remember. The only memory that I have that's not about him, is about my parents." He told me, tears building up in his eyes. He sat back on his back legs. "But, thanks for saving me. With out you, I wouldn't have ever been able to be free. Jack, thanks." He smiled, and jumped to the chair and watched whatever Zack was watching. I looked over to Chester, and gave a little smile of my own. I pulled out both Brandon's and Xavier's pokeballs and let them loose.
"Hey, Zack!" I shouted over.
"Yeah? Whatta need?" He yelled.
"I'm going to train the boys a new move each. Chester, you can come and watch if you want." I told everyone, nodding over to Chester. He jumped off the chair and walked over to me.
"Sure, I'll come down." He walked over to his pokeball, and sat down.
"Uh, I don't' have any pokemon I have in the pokeballs." I said, rubbing the back of my head. "Everyone just stays out of them. I really hate cooping everyone up like that." 'God, I hate calling them 'mine'.' "Well, if you want to come down, just follow me. Zack, you coming?" I shouted.
"I'll be down in a minute! I need to check on Ele's stats." He said, looking at his pokedex.
"Alright, hurry up." I said, out the door. Chester, Brandon, and Xavier walked down with me outback to the training grounds behind the pokecenter. Like the Rustboro center, this one had the same chalk outlines for battles, training equipment, and vending machines for people and pokemon alike. I saw a few people chatting around, having battles, etc. I went over to the training equipment and set everyone down.
"Alright guys, time for some training. Brandon, you're going to learn-."
"Hey kid! Whatta doin' o'er there?"
I turned around to see who shouted, and a huge, burly guy with a full line of six pokeballs on his belt stood over me.
"I was going to use the stuff here to train on." I spoke, bits of nervousness crept into my voice,
"Not while I'm here, laddy! Down here at Dewford, you gotta tussle wit' me! Overvise you gotta go and leave!"
"Fine. I was going to try and level up everyone too, so this will work." I looked back up at the guy. "How about a nice 2v2 battle?" I asked.
"Sounds good to me, laddy." He smirked. We walked over to the battle grounds, called over a referee, and he started up the battle.
"This match will be fought by Jack from Oldale Town, and Brawly, who hails from this very Dewford Town!"
Everyone cheered for Brawly, but the second I heard his name, every bit of blood just washed from my face. My eyes just went big, and sweat poured from my head.
'I really hope that isn't the same Brawly as I think he is.'
The referee raised his flags. "Trainers! Release your first Pokemon!"
I looked behind me and nodded at Brandon. Brawly grabbed the second pokeball from the left on his belt and tossed it out. What came out was a strange, onion headed thing. It was like a human, but was about 3 feet high, and floated above the ground. I pulled out my pokedex.
Meditite
Level: 19
Moves: UNKNOWN
Hidden Moves: UNKNOWN
Type: Psychic/Fighting
Treecko (Brandon)
Level : 18
Moves: Pound, Bullet Seed, Quick Attack, Tackle, Leaf Blade
Hidden Moves: Wrath of the Forest, Silent Night
Type: Grass
"You can have the first move, laddy!" Brawly shouted.
"Alright then. Brandon, use Quick Attack!"
Brandon shot forward, a slight white light surrounding him as he picked up speed. He went full speed towards the Meditite and was right up to it.
"Confusion."
The Meditite's eyes glowed purple and a purple aura surrounded Brandon, stopping his attack immediately. Brandon shot into the air, the Meditite glaring at him. Up and down, up and down! Brandon just kept being smashed into the ground. When the onslaught stopped, Brandon was out cold on the ground, deep in a crater. I looked down at the ground, stunned. I pulled Brandon's pokeball from my belt and recalled him. I placed it back on the belt. I grabbed Xavier's pokeball and threw him out. After the white light subsided, I gave a single order to him.
"Xavier, show no mercy." My eyes looked right at the Meditite and they narrowed.
"Alright, agility!" I shouted. Xavier sprinted full speed down the field, a small slipstream following him. He sprinted around the field, three clones following him instead of just two. He stopped and surrounded the Meditite. Even I couldn't tell which was the real one or the clone. "Alright, now use Force Palm!"
All four of the Xaviers charged a power to the flat of their palm and charged. I saw Brawly smirk, nearly causing me to do the same. I always have back up plans. Right before Xavier hit, I already won.
Xavier and all his clones hit the Meditite, Brawly shouted out a command for teleport. Normally this would have made hitting the Meditite impossible, but Meditite wasn't hit at all. I have trained Xavier on the boat ride over to create up to five clones of himself, using agility. I had told him my strategy before the battle and he agreed. What was to happen was that Xavier would create three clones of him and surround the Meditite. He used the cover of surprise to make a fourth clone and disappear into the tree line, and pretended to still be there. When the Meditite teleported away, my trap was sprung.
"Now, Headbutt!" I yelled a small smile on my lips. He jumped from the tree line and fell from the sky head first. Brawly shouted something but Xavier hit before his Pokémon could respond.
"Now, use jab low and jab, jab, straight!" I screamed. "You can finish this! For Brandon!"
"For Brandon." He muttered under his breath. He raised his arms and right before his fists connected, something changed. He became engulfed in a bright white light and an alert cam from my pokedex. I quickly opened it up and my eyes grew in shock
Alert! Alert! Alert!
The owned Riolu known as Xavier has reached critical levels of energy! Pokemon is currently EVOLVING.
I looked up from the pokedex and saw Xavier doubling in size, his white bone pads sharpening into spikes, and what looked like dreadlocks on his head (later he told me that they were there to sharpen his aura into attacks and mental fitness.) And he now towered over the two foot tall onion head. He finished his punch and didn't need to follow up; the Meditite was already on the ground. I stared in awe at Xavier's new form. I scanned him.
Lucario (Xavier)
Species: Lucario
Type: Steel/Fighting
Moves: Reversal, Endure, Agility, Force Palm
New moves: Bite, Mega Punch, Bone Club, Aura Sphere
Level: 20
I think everyone was shocked when Xavier evolved into his new form. A motherfucking Lucario! Brandon is going to have one hell of a story to hear when he wakes up. Another look to my pokedex showed Xavier's health at perfect health, and the Meditite was completely out. Brawly laughed.
"'O really tink this can change this, laddy? Try this on for size!" He threw a pokeball and a massive green and black dinosaur materialized in front of me. I pulled my pokedex out.
Tyrannitar
Type: Dark/Ground
Moves: UNKNOWN
Hidden Moves: UNKNOWN
Level: 58
"What the fuck? Brawly, that's a cheap move!" I shouted, angry.
"You gottsta roll with the punches, laddy!" He shouted.
"Uh, okay. Xavier, use-."
"Earthquake."
Before I could finish my sentence, Brawly had said that one word. His behemoth raised its left leg and slammed it into the ground, causing a massive upheaval that opened the earth and sent Xavier flying into the tree line. I looked down at my pokedex and saw Xavier had been hit by a 'super effective' hit, and his health just tanked. It went all they way down to the bottom of the red, then an 'X' appeared with the message 'Xavier has been knocked out. Please recall and resume battle.'
(1 hour later)
I was heading back up to the room, wanting to just sit down and relax after the battle. That asshole Brawly, sent out something nearly three times the level of Xavier. Lucky he didn't kill him, otherwise he would have followed suit. I opened the door and saw a note on the table. I picked it up and saw it was from Zack
Went down to the workshop. I'll be back up at 6.
-Zack
P.S. Don't wait up
Curious, I went downstairs to find the workshop Zack was at. The damn pokecenter was so big; they had a directory by the healers. I checked the pager and it showed another half hour before everyone was healed, so I went ahead and went to the workshop by myself. According to the directory, the workshop was room A113, so I followed the numbers until they hit the one I was looking for. Outside the door was a sign saying 'Use face mask before entering!" with a picture of a pair of lungs filled with dust. I grabbed one of the masks, put it on, and opened the door. I saw Zack and a couple others messing around with wood, metal, rubber, and other things. Zack was working with some lump of deformed metal. He had a welding mask on and was torching the shit out of the metal. The spot he was heating up was a bright red; the rest was a dull orange. I sat there for a minute, watching him work with the metal for whatever reason. After six solid minutes of working with it, he put it into a vat and set it into the furnace. I walked up behind him and tapped his shoulder. He looked behind him, at me, and smiled.
"Hey man, I thought you were working out with the others." He yelled over the noise.
I pulled my mask off. "Long story. What are you doing down here?" I asked.
"Working on a project for when we get off this damn island." He told me "I heard after this we have to go to Slateport City after this."
"Cool, hey, where's Ele?" I asked.
"She's over at the daycare here. I'm picking her up in an hour."
"Nice, I'm gonna go get some food, want something?"
"Get some chinese, I want some egg rolls."
"Alright, be upstairs in a bit."
"Alright, see ya then."
I turned around, walked out the door, hung up the mask, and went back up to the room to grab my wallet. I opened the door and was shocked.
"What the fuck are you doing in here?!"
And that's all folks! This was a pretty long chapter, being over 2800 words long. Only 2 or 3 chapters are longer than this, and it has a bit of a cliffhanger, a battle, a surprise evolution and a new friend! I was debating with myself for 6 damn days trying to decide whether or not to do it, and Xavier is now a Lucario! Have fun everyone, and have a nice day.
