Chapter 13: Hyperactive Complications
After the encounter with Team Animus, and Adam's first contest win, the four of them are now headed to the gym in Eterna City. Of course, they first have to head through the Eterna Forest.
"Man, I can't wait to see what Pokémon hatches from this egg." Adam stared at the egg as the four of them guided through the trees.
"Watch where you're going or you're gonna run into something or even someone." Misty warned.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Especially now that I have this." Adam assured.
"Hey Sammy." Lucario whispered. Sammy turned her head back and looked at him. "Ten bucks he's gonna drop that thing in the next ten minutes." Lucario snickered. Sammy glanced at Adam and turned back to Lucario.
"Deal." She said, shaking his hand.
"Why can't this hatch already?" Adam asked impatiently.
"Well, it's like waiting for a baby to be born. It can take a long time." Misty answered.
"Not helping here. I 'm hyperactive. I don't wait for anything. I get very impatient. Anything that takes more than a few days, I go nuts." Adam remarked. "Come on little guy."
"Hey! Look out kid!" Adam turned around just in time to get rammed by someone. He fell back onto the grass and realized that he had dropped the egg.
"Where is it? Where is the egg?" Adam frantically asked. Misty then knelt down and handed Adam the egg. Adam then looked at the person who rammed him and they both sprung to their feet.
"WHY DON'T YOU WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING? I OUTTA FINE YOU!" The two yelled at the same time.
"If you weren't standing in my way, you might not have dropped your egg." The boy crossed his arms.
"If you weren't walking like a crazed maniac, maybe you wouldn't have crashed into me!" Adam argued.
"Give it up kid! I could take you any day!" The stranger continued.
"I'm taller than you! How would you be able to take me?" Adam fought.
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" Lucario shot them both backwards with separate aura spheres.
"Ok, you can ask nicely." The stranger got up. "Oh my God a Pokémon egg!" He quickly ran over to it and admired it. "Is it yours?" He asked Misty.
"No, it's Adam's; I just caught it when you knocked him over." Misty answered.
"So where are you guys headed?"
"Eterna City for the second gym." Adam answered.
"I beat that Gym twice. I was at the Sinnoh League already but lost to an awesome trainer named Paul. He's a great trainer."
"What's your name any way?" Adam asked.
"Oh right. Introductions, forgot about those, my name's Barry. I am headed for the Sinnoh league for the second time!" Barry answered. He pulled out a metal case. "Three badges kid. Admire their beauty." Barry bragged.
"Big ego huh?" Sammy said under her breath.
"You owe me ten bucks by the way." Lucario reminded.
"Hey look!" Barry yelled. "Paul!" He pointed to a kid, probably about 10. With purple hair and a very angry expression.
"Paul, what about a battle for old time sakes?" Barry offered.
"A Battle? With you? Please, your Pokémon are pathetic. You'd be better off battling him. He looks about your level. And the girl with the egg, pretty basic. Your type of stuff." Paul grunted.
"Hey wait a minute Paul!" Adam walked up to him.
"Even if we just started, you can't tell if you're stronger just by looks. Also, Misty happens to be the Gym leader at the Cerulean Gym in Kanto." Adam argued.
"Gym leader? That's something you don't see every day. A water type gym leader on a Pokémon journey with a bunch of rookies. Alright, I'm in. But I want to battle her." Paul pointed at Misty.
"Wait, but I want to battle you Paul." Barry complained.
"Battle with me then. Me and Barry against Her and him." Paul said,
"Misty, are you ready to battle?" Adam asked. Misty nodded.
(=.=)
"One Pokémon each then." Paul held up a pokeball.
"That's right. You can go first." Adam responded.
"Great. Aggron, standby for battle!" Paul tossed the pokeball and the giant, monstrous Pokémon roared.
"Empoleon!" Barry through his pokeball.
"Lucario, let's go!" Lucario ran onto the field.
"Politoad, you're up!" Misty finished.
"Aggron, use metal claw!" Paul called.
"Lucario, you too!" The two collided, forcing their weight against each other.
"Aura sphere!" Adam added, but he was too late. Aggron had won the fight and shot Lucario backwards and he slid through the mud.
"Politoad, double slap on Empoleon!" Misty ordered.
"Empoleon, hydro cannon!" Barry quickly said once Misty finished. Empoleon knocked Misty's Politoad into Lucario.
"Bone rush on Aggron!" Adam retaliated. Lucario charged at Aggron, the green bone held like a sword. He jumped and slammed Aggron straight on the head with the bone rush and he became confused. Lucario then put his hand against Aggron's stomach and blasted him with a green explosion that came from his palm.
"Hey Adam, Lucario learned Force palm." Misty pointed out.
"Alright Lucario!" Adam congratulated. "Use it again but on Empoleon." Lucario jumped to Empoleon and blasted him back with the green blast as well.
"Flash cannon!" Both Paul and Barry called at the same time. Aggron and Empoleon shot the silver beam at Lucario and he shot straight back, and he smashed into the ground, pieces of earth coming up as well.
"Lucario!" Adam rushed over and held up Lucario.
"I'm done for now. Let me rest." Lucario said.
"Ok, you go rest for a while." Adam patted him on the shoulder.
"Politoad, use surf!" Misty yelled. The huge wave of water crashed against Aggron and Empoleon. When the water cleared, Aggron was out and Empoleon was pretty worn. Politoad was pretty beat up as well.
"Empoleon, this will be over soon. Use Flash cannon to finish this off!" Barry ordered. Empoleon charged the sphere but Politoad fell to the ground before he could fire.
"Ha! We won! Way to go Empoleon!" Barry cheered.
"So what, I underestimated one person. I was right about him." Paul pointed to Adam. "You have a lot of training to do before you can battle me one on one. I'll see you around." Paul returned Aggron and walked off.
"So you guys are headed for Eterna City for the gym badge huh? Well good luck. I'll meet up with you later. I have to head to Pastoria City and get my gym badge from Crasher Wake. Adios!" Barry waved before eagerly running off.
"Hyperactive meets hyperactive. If that happens too much, the universe might explode." Austin joked.
"Eterna City is next, then the Hearthome City Gym and Contest." Misty said. The group nodded and turned back to the route towards Eterna City, little did they know a small brown, fluffy beast has been following the group since their departure with Lyra.
A/N: This has little to do with the story but my profile will soon be a bulbapedia for this story. It should be up by tomorrow, well, fully updated.
