Chapter 9 – The Bullies
Ash, Cameron and their pokemon spent an enjoyable day at the beach. They played with the frisby for a while. Then they went swimming. Around lunchtime they bought hotdogs from a small stall. As they sun begun to set they took a walk along the shoreline, enjoying the golden reflections of the setting sun in the water against a pink sky.
Ash and Pikachu decided to go for a swim, while Cameron and Lucario sat down on the ground.
"isn't the sunset beautiful" said lucario.
"sure is" replied Cameron. He Pulled lucario closer. The Aura pokemon laid his head on Cameron's bear chest and wrapped his arm around the boy. Cameron enjoyed the feeling.
They sat like this, holding each other and watching the sunset. Lucario was just brining his head up to kiss Cameron's lips when they were approached by a group of three older looking boys.
One of them was large with dark hair and wore a black shirt with a Vanillite on it.
"well look what we have here boys," he said "a fag and his dog"
Cameron looked taken aback.
"what" he said.
"listen you fags aren't allowed on this beach. Take your dog and go someplace else" said the boy.
Lucario Growled at them. How dare they say that to Cameron. They didn't even know him.
"who are you" asked Cameron.
"I'm Tireno," said the boy with the vanillite shirt. "and this is my dance crew"
He gestured to the three boys standing behind him. They were all a lot bigger than Cameron and Lucario.
"we're the best dancers in the Kalos region and this is our beach. And we don't like fags like you fucking their pokemon alright, so beat it." One of the boys said.
"yeah you tell him Kev" said another one.
"Go away and leave my mate alone" said lucario telepathically to each of the boys, growling menacingly.
"Ohh he admits it" said the boy named Kev. "This dog gets fucked by its trainer"
"Or do you fuck him. He doesn't look very dominate" said another of the boys.
"what we do in our romantic lives has nothing to do with you. Leave us alone" Lucario said. His voice carried a clear warning.
"Dirty fags aren't welcome here" Tireno begun. "so you better.."
he didn't get a chance to finish his sentence. He had been hit by Lucario's aura sphere. Lucario had stood up and was standing protectively infront of Cameron.
"I warned you. Leave now"
Lucario's voice would have scarred better men that these three.
"Lucario.." begun Cameron.
"No Cameron, they can't talk to you like that"
Lucario loved Cameron. He didn't want to see him being bullied like this. Besides he had read these four's aura. It was dark. They were nothing more than bigoted, ignorant homophobes who took pleasure in others suffering. But it was worse than that. They intended to hurt Camero. And he, Lucario, would not let that happen.
"go hitmonlee"
"go Marchoke"
"go Magmar"
Lucario prepared himself for battle. He would fight to defend Cameron's honor and his own.
"hitmonlee, high jump kick"
"Marchoke karake chop"
"Magmar, Flamethrower"
Lucario dodged the first two attacks but was not so lucky with the third. The super effective fire type move hit him knocking him to the ground. He groaned as he was burned by the flames. He tried to get back up but before he could do so he felt something hard collide with his side.
One of the boys had kicked him. Lucario had not expected that. There were very few humans who directly attacked a pokemon so viciously.
He tried to stand up but was kicked again. Then he felt an even worse blow as hitmonlee delivered a super effective high jump kick to his head. He was knocked out cold.
Before Cameron could do anything two of the boys grabbed him from behind. Tireno stood infront of him.
"I'm gonna enjoy this fag"
He punched Cameron in the stomach.
"ARRRR" Cameron cried out
He collapsed but the two boys were still holding him.
"I know" said Kev. "let's take his buddgie smugglers. Let him walk home naked"
"great idea" said Tireno.
Ash and Pikachu had heard Cameron's cry and come over to see what was going on.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING" shouted Ash.
"PIKA, PIKACHU"
"oh look boys it's another faggot" said Tireno. "Get lost"
Ash looked at him angrily
"let him go" he said
"or else" said pikachu sparking.
"I think this kid wants to fight" said Kev letting go of Cameron.
"what him and the little rat" said the other boy holding Cameron, who also let go and walked over to ash.
"don't you call my Pikachu a rat" Ash said.
"or what"
"Pikachu, use thunderbolt" ash commanded.
Pikachu let off a powerful bolt of electricity hitting all four boys and their pokemon. They were all knocked out cold.
Ash went over to Cameron.
"are you alright" he said kneeling down next to him.
"yeah, thanks man" said Cameron. "but Lucario"
Ash helped Cameron to his feet.
Pikachu went over to Lucario.
"are you okay. Can you hear me."
the mouse tapped on Lucario's nose with his paw.
"umphrrme"
Lucario groaned as he woke up.
"he needs the pokemon centre." Said Pikachu. "but first, I think we should do a little justice"
the mouse had an evil look on his face.
When Tireno and the dance squad woke up, the four of them found their clothing was missing. someone had stripped them and tossed their clothing out to sea.
