Chapter 10

"Didn't you say there were no more grunts?" Kiku asked.

"I didn't know they got back together!" Ludwig countered.

"Let's just hope that the people are okay," Feliciano seriously stated.

"Everyone is okay," a man informed. The Trainers turned around to see a middle-aged man. "Everyone is okay, except for our Slowpokes and, apparently, our Gym Leader, Peter Kirkland."

The Trainers were stunned. "Why would the Bad Touch Trio do such a thing?" Kiku asked.

"No one knows," the man shrugged.

"This is terrible!" Feliciano wailed. "We've got to do something!"

"You're right," the man agreed, anger sparking up in him. "We've depended on heroes for too long. I'm going to do something right now!" The man raced towards the well that the grunt was guarding.

"Wait a minute!" Ludwig yelled. But the man didn't listen. To the Trainers' horror, they saw the man scuffle with the grunt and fall into the well!

As Ludwig cursed, the three Trainers hurried to the edge of the well. "Are you alright?" Feliciano called. They only heard the sound of moaning. "The man is hurt! Let's go help him!" Feliciano jumped into the well. After Ludwig had done the same thing, Kiku began to hesitate. He couldn't really jump; surely, it would make his lower-back pains worse. Kiku spotted a ladder and began to climb down.

Once Kiku reached the bottom, he beheld a shock: the man was on the ground, moaning in pain.

"Are you okay?" Kiku asked.

"I broke my hip and back!" the man sighed. "The grunt got away. I know this town depended on heroes too much, but can you please help us out?"

"We'll do the best we can," Feliciano promised. He threw out his Pokéball and left his Starly with the man to guard him. "Come on guys!" The Trainers hurried into the other opening and spotted several B.T.T. grunts.

Kiku quickly counted them in his head. "There are six of these B.T.T. grunts," Kiku updated.

"We can take care of them," Ludwig assured. "After all, they can't be better than the actual Trio, right?"

Feliciano wasn't sure, but he held onto the handle of his white flag, which was in his pocket, just in case. Chikorita purred and was immediately lifted onto its owner's shoulder. "Let's do this thing!" Feliciano falsely confided. He and the other two Trainers stepped towards the group of B.T.T. grunts. "Hey! You guys aren't supposed to be here!" Feliciano spotted the Slowpokes, who were currently tailless.

Three of the henchmen stepped forward. They threw Pokéballs, which revealed Ekans, Bellsprout, and Meowth, just like the Trio themselves. Chikorita, Totodile, and Cyndaquil jumped in front of their Trainers, softly threatening the three opposing Pokémon.

"Chikorita, use PoisonPowder!" Feliciano commanded.

"Totodile, use Rage!" Ludwig instructed.

"Cyndaquil, use Quick Attack!"

The three Pokémon, in unison, used the commanded attacks. Almost immediately, the opposing Pokémon fainted. "See, what did I tell you?"

Three more grunts showed up and produced the same Pokémon as last time. But, Feliciano, Ludwig, and Kiku were not fast enough. The three opposing Pokémon used the commanded moves: Meowth scratched Cyndaquil harshly, Bellsprout whipped Totodile painfully, and Ekans bit Chikorita agonizingly.

Chikorita poisoned the Ekans with its powdery purple substance. Totodile blasted the Bellsprout with a powerful gun of water. Cyndaquil burned the Meowth with its blazing ember.

Both Pokémon were greatly weakened. While the grunt commanded Ekans to Bite, Feliciano's Chikorita used Razor Leaf. The leaves were able to cut the Ekans and make it faint from the strength of the Chikorita.

Ludwig made Totodile use Rage before the grunt could even utter a word. The Bellsprout almost fainted, but it endured Totodile's wrath. "Man," Ludwig groaned.

"Cyndaquil, Quick Attack!" Kiku yelled. The Cyndaquil swerved back and forth rapidly and strongly pelted the Meowth, making it faint.

"How do you two make the Pokémon faint, but I don't?" Ludwig sighed.

"Bellsprout, Razor Leaf!" the grunt shouted. Multiple razor-sharp leaves slit the Totodile numerously. Totodile was close to fainting, but it still had some energy left. Ludwig glanced sideways at Feliciano. Feliciano understood the message: Triple-threat attack, now!

"Chikorita, Razor Leaf!" Feliciano yelled.

"Totodile, Water Gun!" Ludwig shouted.

"Cyndaquil, Ember!" Kiku commanded.

In unison, the three Pokémon used their primary moves as a triple threat attack on the poor, defenseless Bellsprout, who was immediately knocked out. The three Trainers high-fived each other as the grunts ran away. "See? I told you we can do it!" Ludwig smirked. "And you didn't need your white flag, Feliciano."

"Ve~ pasta!" Feliciano grinned. Ludwig smiled while a hint of mirth flickered in Kiku's emotionless eyes.

"Let's go find the Gym Leader." Kiku recommended. The Trainers agreed and hurried through the next exit. "Oh my," Kiku gasped.

The Gym Leader, Peter Kirkland, was tied up to a chair. He was desperately yelling for help.

"So tell me, Peter," Gilbert growled, "how did you become a Gym Leader at such a young age at such a quick rate? You're going to have to tell us if you want to be released."

"Let me go, you bully!" Peter yelled. He spotted the three Trainers at the entrance. "Hey! You three! Please help me!"

The Bad Touch Trio turned to spot their old rivals: Feliciano, Ludwig, and Kiku. The Trio smirked as they began to recite:

"Prepare for trouble!" Bella chanted.

"Make that double!" Gilbert recited as he posed with a peace sign. Bella glared and sighed before continuing.

"To protect the world from devastation!" Bella continued as she dramatically flourished and pointed at Peter.

"Aw, that's just mean!" Peter angrily commented.

"To unite all peoples within our nation!" Gilbert delivered with a dramatic flourish that Ludwig couldn't help but laugh at.

"To denounce the evil of truth and love!" Bella sustained.

"To extend our reach for the stars above!" Gilbert dramatically chanted.

"Sure, like you can reach that!" Ludwig commented, making everyone, even Antonio, laugh.

Gilbert whacked Antonio on the head and protested, "I'm not short!"

"Bella!" Bella introduced.

"Gilbert!" Gilbert yelled.

"The Bad Touch Trio, blast off of at the speed of light!" Bella bragged.

"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!" Gilbert threatened rhythmically.

Feliciano was about to take out his white flag when Ludwig scolded, "Don't actually surrender!"

"Si! That's right!" Antonio agreed eagerly.

"That will get annoying eventually…" Kiku groaned.

"So, you guys are back, huh?" Gilbert smiled menacingly.

"We've been here for twenty seconds!" Ludwig groaned.

"Why are you doing this to the Gym Leader?" Feliciano inquired sternly.

"Isn't it obvious?" Bella laughed.

"Not with your face in the way, it isn't," Peter remarked.

Bella glared at Peter, and then explained, "We're trying to get the secrets from Peter on how he became so powerful so quickly!"

"Then why do you have all these Slowpokes, too?" Kiku interrogated.

"Slowpoke tails cost a fortune!" Antonio answered. "We're going to use the money from the tails to get tomatoes and-"

"We're not going to get tomatoes, Antonio!" Bella yelled. Antonio frowned. "We're going to use that money to get those expensive things to make our Pokémon evolve faster."

"Oh no, you're not!" Ludwig snarled. Totodile sensed his Trainer's anger and jumped in front as if to threaten the Bad Touch Trio. Cyndaquil and Chikorita repeated the same action. Gilbert, Bella, and Antonio threw out Pokéballs and revealed Ekans, Bellsprout, and Meowth.

"Ekans, use Poison Sting!" Bella ordered.

"Chikorita, use PoisonPowder!" Feliciano directed.

At the same time, both Chikorita and Ekans were poisoned. Oh, the irony.

"Bellsprout, use Wrap!" Gilbert instructed.

"Totodile, Rage!" Ludwig commanded.

Bellsprout wrapped its vine-like body around Totodile rapidly. As it wrapped around tighter and tighter, Totodile became angry and attacked Bellsprout in a huge rage. Bellsprout, surprised by the sudden attack, suffered a major amount of damage. But, it continued to wrap around Totodile, who tolerated some damage.

"Meowth, Scratch!" Antonio ordered.

"Cyndaquil, Quick Attack!" Kiku directed.

Meowth positioned itself, ready to scratch Cyndaquil. But, before Meowth can swipe him, Cyndaquil swerved rapidly in and out and bashed into the shocked Meowth, who suffered a lot of damage. Vengeful, Meowth scratched Cyndaquil painfully. Cyndaquil tolerated the scratch. It didn't really hurt…

Chikorita whimpered. It lost its health as the poisoned worked, just like Ekans. "Chikorita, Razor Leaf!" Feliciano cried.

"Ekans, Bite!" Bella yelled.

Just like when the Trainers first battled the B.T.T., Ekans slithered slowly towards Chikorita, who was slowing Ekans down with its multiple leaves. Ekans sped up a bit and was able to bite into Chikorita's sensitive skin. Both Pokémon whimpered again as the poison worked up once more.

Using the moves they commanded last time, the battle between Totodile and Bellsprout became almost repetitive. Bellsprout wrapped around Totodile tighter, while Totodile raged again and cost Bellsprout and Totodile some damage. Because Totodile's Rage was powerful, Bellsprout fainted immediately. Ludwig, feeling proud, decided to help Kiku out in his war between Meowth and Cyndaquil.

"Meowth, Bite!" Antonio shouted.

"Cyndaquil, Ember!" Kiku commanded.

Meowth approached Cyndaquil and bit into its soft skin. Whimpering, Cyndaquil burned Meowth with the embers on its back. Getting overwhelmed by the severe burn, Meowth fainted quickly.

Kiku and Ludwig soon joined Feliciano at battling Ekans. Chikorita and Ekans were injured majorly by the poison coursing through their bodies. Feliciano knew he had to do something fast… or else Chikorita will faint. He glanced sideways at his two other friends.

"Triple Threat Attack!" the three Trainers shouted.

"What's that?" Bella asked in alarm. It was too late; Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile used their primary attacks to make a triple attack on Ekans, who was immediately knocked out. The attack was so strong; it blasted the Bad Touch Trio out of the well! "The Bad Touch Trio is blasting off again!" the Trio yelled before they disappeared.

Finally, I got to use the quote "blasting off again!" I love that quote! And did I forget to say Sealand would show up in the last summary? Hm... Oh well, SEALAND WAS AWESOME!
