Ship= Scentofcrazyshipping, Fatherlyshipping
Chapter 21= The Hunt
(Black City Docks)
It was morning in the docks with no ships in sight except for a boat named "the wave". This boat was owned by a man named Marlon. Marlon was in the middle of his diving when another boat approached him.
"Sir hey you there" said the man in the other boat.
"Yo how can I help u" said Marlon.
"We need you to clear the water"
"Why"
"We need the docks to be clear so please go away"
"Sir with all do respect these waters belong to all of us"
"I won't repeat myself"
"U won't have to but you do know I won't go with out a fight" said Marlon pulling out a pokeball.
(Mayor Drayden's Office three hours later)
"Here you go sir" said Drayden secretary.
"What is it?"
"Apparently there was an arrest for a battle near the docks"
"And?"
"The man arrest was named Marlon according to his story there was another man told him to clear out because the docks are being used"
"So the docks needed to be cleared so what?"
"Sir we ran a background check, the man that wanted to clear the water had no reason to be there he doesn't work in the dock… but we did find something this" said the secretary handing him a paper.
"Aqua what are they up to now?" said Drayden studying the paper.
"Having trouble running you city" said a man walking in the room.
"Sorry sir we couldn't keep him out" said another secretary.
"It's okay what do you want Giovanni?"
"Nothing much I'm just here to look at my new office you do know the elections are coming soon"
"Don't tell me a man like you is running for mayor"
"Is there a problem"
"Not at all I enjoy the challenge, but I don't think you'll be able to put up much of a campaign"
"Oh and why is that?"
"A man with your history the people of this city will never vote for you"
"We'll see about that good day" said Giovanni leaving.
"Sir about the docks" said a secretary.
"Place police there 24/7 make sure if anyone is going there they actually work there" said Drayden then he look out the window. 'No way this city has become evil enough that they might elect that man to run it'
The city was still in the morning rush as cars went by angry, and ready to go to work. In one of the buildings sitting in the rooftop was Marley with her basket.
"So that's the new world tower" said Marley taking off her binoculars. "Now how do I get in"
(Barry's house)
Barry was eating breakfast with one thing in his mind spying on Paul. The other day Barry, and Burgundy saw Paul, talking to Lucas about something, but what could it be a battle, are they friends, or is Lucas recruiting Paul. Barry along with Burgundy are going to get to the button of this.
Phone ringing

Burgundy: au revoir
(End of Phone conversation- Burgundy's House)
After her phone call with Barry, Burgundy quickly stepped into the shower, after she stepped out she did her hair and grab her nicest pair of jeans, with a tank top, small jacket and a nice scarf. As she was heading downstairs she saw her mom.
"Hello Darling where are you going" ask Burgundy's mom.
"I'm going out mom"
"Oh that's right you, and some boy are going to 'Spy' on some other boy right"
"Yes mom we're going to 'spy' on some guy"
"So when are you going to tell him that you don't care about spying on this guy"
"I can't now mom this is the only way he would go out with me" blushed Burgundy.
"Why would you say that you have such an adorable personality"
"Yes well I saw I chance and I took it"
"Well have fun and call me if anything"
"Of course mom"
(Barry's House)
"Hey Barry" said Bianca.
"Hey Bianca"
"Where are you going"
"None of your business"
"Awww why do you have to be so mean"
"Because it's none of your business" said Barry as he was about to step out of the house Palmer stopped him.
"Where are you going pearl" said Palmer.
"Dad what did I say about calling me pearl"
"Well what did I say about calling me Daddy, why don't you tell me and your sister where you're going?"

"Bye son" said Palmer. "Mnn my boy is dating"
"Yeah" said Bianca.
"You better not be dating anyone" said Palmer.
"Who me… no" said Bianca clearly lying.
(Downtown)
Burgundy was waiting for Barry so they can start 'spying' but hopefully if she plays her cards right this could turn into what she really wants a date.
"Mam where is he?" said Burgundy. While she was waiting another woman bump into her. "Hey"
"Watch where you're going little girl" said the woman.
"The nerve I'll have you know I'm the dau…"
"I don't care" said the woman. The woman wore a white dress shirt, with matching pants, and stylish sunglasses. "Who you are" she finished taking off her glasses her eyes had a cold stare, that scare Burgundy speechless. "Now out of my way"
Burgundy was so scared she didn't notice Barry walking behind her.
"Hey Burgundy"
"what… oh hey Barry"
"What's wrong you look like you saw a ghost"
"Oh it's nothing so let's get this investigation started" said Burgundy.
"Okay come on let's go sit down and talk about this"
"Sure" said Burgundy as the duo sat down in a nearby bench.
"So Burgundy… ahh"
"What is it?"
"Well you came really dress up" said Barry.
"Well thank you I always try to look my best do you… like it"
"I…I…well anyway we're getting of topic" said Barry.
"Oh I guess you're right so now what" ask Burgundy.
"We go to Paul's house and see what he's up to"
The two walked all the way to Paul's apartment, while in another part of the city another event was going down.
Running through a crow was a small scared boy with strange blue hair. While the rest of the people couldn't tell he was being chased by an evil hunter.
Waiting in front of Paul's apartment Barry, and Burgundy we're sitting hoping that Paul would come out.
"AWWWW when is he coming out?" said Burgundy.
"I don't know unless it's important I don't remember Paul ever going out unless it was to train" said Barry.
"I heard he stop battling why was that?"
"For what I heard he tried to join Plasma, and failed huh figures" said Barry. "Gangs are bad news"
"What do you mean?"
"Well I used to be part of a group of friends back in Pallet." said Barry.
"A Gang" said Burgundy.
"No not like that we were just strong trainers"
"Do you miss them?"
"Of course but what can I do other then move on good thing I found new friends when I got here… but"
"But?"
"For some reason they all went their own ways"
"But I saw you with your friends you all seem close"
"What oh you mean Dawn, May, Gary, Ursula, and Green… well yeah but I'm talking about our group before"
"Before?"
"Yeah with Drew, Kenny, and Paul"
"Aw so you were friends with Paul, but he always looks like the loner how did you all become friends?"
"Well you can blame Zoey for that… as far as I know they had some history" said Barry. "Yeah but they were still part of our group.
(Story)
It seems like there it's a pattern in our little group there is always someone introducing new members. At first it was Zoey, and Paul.
"Come on Paul let's go eat" said Zoey.
"Sure but where?" said Paul.
"Hey that table it's free" said Zoey pointing at a table far from the rest.
"Then let's eat" said Paul.
Then came May.
"Hey Paul I hope you don't mind but can May sit with us?"
"Sure…"
"HI I'M MAY!"
Then Dawn.
"Hey Zoey" said May.
"Hey May whats up?"
"I like you to meet Dawn she's new" said May.
"Hi it's so nice to meet you" said Dawn.
"Hey don't I know you?" said Zoey. "Yeah Dawn Berlitz your mom is famous I saw you in a magazine of course you can sit with us"
Then Kenny.
"Hey May" said Dawn.
"Yeah?"
"You know Kenny he's been really nice to me so I invited him to sit with us"
"Sure"
Then Ursula.
"Hello…" said Ursula. At this point she started to train Paul so she felt like she could eat with him.
"Hey" said Dawn. Paul said nothing.
"Can I sit with you guys if you don' mind" ask Ursula.
"Fine by me…" said Paul out of nowhere. His words put a smile in her face but it got Zoey suspicious.
Then Barry.
"Guys" said Kenny. "I'd like you all to meet Barry his new and I just finished battling him after he kick my ass I offer him to eat with us"
"Sit down then" said Ursula.
Then Drew
"HEY GUY" said Barry.
"BARRY WHY ARE YOU YELLING!" said May before she notice the boy next to him.
"This is Drew and I was wondering…."
"Of course he can sit with us" said May.
"Oh okay"
"Our group always had someone new to add, but that doesn't mean I couldn't miss my old friends. That's why I always kept in touch with Ash. He was so strong he showed me that friends are always Important. We should help out our friend." Said Barry.
"Ash is that the guy that was with you when we kis.. I mean met" said Burgundy.
"Yeah he's my best friend" said Barry. "Before He moved her I heard he was depressed so I tried my best to get him to sheer up"
"Really… why"
"Because he would do the same for me that's why I when I saw Paul, with Lucas I knew that Paul was going down a bad path" said Barry.
"Okay then I'll help you help your friend" said Burgundy.
After a while Paul did came out.
"There he is let's follow him…" said Burgundy then Barry went running. "Hey wait!"
"PAUL!"
"What the…" said Paul before Barry punched him. "What the Hell!?"
"You tell me why are you hanging with Lucas?"
"Why do you care?"
"Because he's bad news don't you remember what he put Deedee through"
"So I don't give a shit about Dawn"
"You bastard she's your friend"
"I don't have friends now go away" said Paul punching Barry in the stomach. Then Burgundy came running after him.
"Barry êtes-vous d'accord (are you okay)?"
"Hey I'm not done with you don't you know Lucas is from Galactic?"
"How do you know that"
"Does it matter I won't let you do something stupid" said Barry getting up after the punch.
"Really now" smiled Paul.
"Yeah come on (pulling out a pokeball) Let's Battle!"
"Alright but tell you girlfriend to get the fuck out of the way unless she wants to be caught in the fire"
"Go now Burgundy"
"But?"
"NOW!"
"oui (yes)"
"Alright 3 on 3 or is that too much for you" said Paul.
"Fuck off"
"Alright then Aggron stand by for battle!" said Paul
"Luxray let's go" yelled Barry.
"Alright use iron defence!" said Paul. Aggron defense rose.
"So that's how you want to start alright Luxray use Roar" said Barry. Luxay let out a roar that force aggron to return to his pokeball.
"Not bad but now Magmortar go"
"So it switch with magmortar alright then let's go luxray use spark!" said Barry as luxray unleash sparks of lighting toward Mamortar hitting directly. "How's that for a strong start?"
"Weak now use Flame burst"
"Dodge… now use charge" said Barry. "Now get closer"
"use smokescreen" said Paul. Magmortar created a smoke cloud as Luxray jump inside of it.
"Luxray use your eye" said Barry.
"Lux…" said Luxray as his eyes started glowing giving him the ability to see past the smoke. As he was turning his head Luxray got quickly hit by a burst of fire popping out of the smoke.
"Luxray are you alright" said Barry.
"Let's end this use fire spin!" The fire started to engulf Luxray in a vortex.
"Barry don't get any closer!" said Burgundy.
"I know I know Luxray use Discharge" said Barry. Luxray unleashed all of its store up energy which free him from the fire, then it hit magmortar.
"Maggg!"
"Had enough" said Barry.
"(smirk) use Confuse ray"
"What" said Barry as it attack hit luxray causing it to become confuse.
"Now you're mine use lave plume" said Paul.
The attack hit directly. "Luxray fight back" said Barry. Luxray was so confused that all it could do was hit itself. "Come on focus use wild charge"
Luxray tried his best and ran toward him. "Use fire punch" said Paul. Both attacks hit but it was Paul that over power Barry.
"Return" smile Paul. Now go Aggron stand by for battle"
"Return you did good buddy now Roserade go!" said Barry.
"Let's begin!" said Paul.
"Roserade use Sunny Day" said Barry. The sun started shinning brighter. A crowed started to gather watching the battle.
"Sunny Day huh… Aggron Flash Cannon!" said Paul.
"Roserade use Energy Ball" Both attacks collided causing a smoke. "Now use poison Jab" Roserade jump out of the smoke and started to repeatedly hit aggron.
"GO!" yelled the crowd.
"You can do it" said Burgundy.
"Keep it up" said Barry.
"Alright I'd had enough use Iron Head" said Paul. Suddenly Aggron head-butted Roserade to the ground.
"No"
"Now heavy slam" said Paul. Aggron jump and dropped all its weight atop of roserade. "It's over"
"No…No" said Barry. 'Come on Barry you can do it think… think'
(Flashback)
"Alright my little Pearl time for another lesson" said Palmer.
"Alright dad what's today's lesson?" said Barry
"First call me daddy… now let me teach you how to beat an opponent"
"Really how?"
"First use your opponents power to your advantage"
"Really how?"
"For example say if your opponent is I don't know heavy how do you beat him with a lighter pokemon?"
"How?"
"Have you ever heard of the old saying the bigger they are the harder they fall"
(End of Flashback)
'What this feeling' thought Barry. 'The sun wait (looking at aggron) the bigger they are I got it'
"Use take down" said Paul.
"Roserade dodge and use poison jab" said Barry. Roserade got hit but it was able to land a punch.
"Clever but…what?"
"It's poison" said Barry.
"Way to go" said Burgundy. 'Such compatibility between man, and pokemon'
"Whatever use take down again!' said Paul.
"Wait for it" said Barry.
"What he planning" said Burgundy.
"NOW GRASS KNOT" said Barry. Aggron tripped and fell hard.
"What!?"
"Grass Knot the bigger the opponent…" said Burgundy.
"The bigger the damage" said Barry. "Now (feeling the sun) use solarbeam!"
"Roseeeee…..rade" yelled roserade firing its attack hitting directly K.O.
"Yes we did it" said Barry.
"Alright" said Burgundy.

"So he's trying to get him to be faster than infernape" said Barry. "Nice try but use focus punch"
Magmortar charge toward infernape but got stopped right on its track by the power of the focus punch.

"What's he planning" said Barry.
The attack sent down a charge that hit nearby cars causing them to explode.
"Now Charge yourself" said Paul.
"wait a minute" said Barry looking at electivire grabbing the cars. "He's charging up he knows he's not as fast as infernape so you're going to use his ability to your advantage"
"Clever" said Burgundy.
"Now brick break" said Paul.
"He may be a little faster but still JUMP!" said Barry.
"What the"
"Use Flare Blitz" said Paul.
"Protect" said Paul.

The attack was shielded but infernape still took his own damage.
"No!"
"This ends now GIGA IMPACT" yelled Paul.
(An hour after later)
Barry past out after the battle. Before waking up he felt the he was in some kind of pillow. Waking up he found out he was in Burgundy's lap.
"hey…"
"Hey where am I"
"Join Avenue"
"Join Avenue!?"
Join Avenue is biggest mall in Black City.
"What happen?"
(After the battle)
Infernape was hit so hard the he got thrown at Barry bagging his head then he passed out.
"Barry!" yelled Burgundy running past the crow.
"Weak…" said Paul walking away.
"darmanitan go" said Burgundy.
Her pokemon stood in front of Paul. "Out of my way"
"No now battle me"
"(smile) tell me how strong are you?"
"I'm very strong"
"Even stronger than him?"
"Well I…"
"Now tell me do you have faith in your abilities?"
"…"
"So you're weak, and you have no faith in your abilities what makes you think you can stand against me" said Paul walking past her pokemon. "Know your place I have no time for weaklings"
(Join Avenue)
Barry, and Burgundy were now sitting in front one of the fountains.
"So are you feeling okay" ask Burgundy.
"Yeah it's just that"
"I know you lost but if it makes you feel better you and your pokemon were in perfect sync"
"Really?"
"Yeah take it from me I was evaluating your whole battle I never seen man, and pokemon working together so closely"
"Thanks but I don't feel like we did our best"
"Tell you what I think it's evaluating time"
"Really?"
"Sure now sit down, and stay quiet" said Burgundy standing in front of him.
"Alright"
"First let me get a good look at you" said Burgundy. "Now the smell test… as smelly as always, now tasting time" said Burgundy leaning forward.
Barry could have told her to stop but he knew what she was really up to so should he stop her no. Barry started to get closer until.
"Barry is that you" said a guy approaching them.
"Falkner is that you"
"Hey man whats up" said Falkner.
"Not much but aren't you off from work why are you hear?" said Barry.
Falkner is a part time security guard at the mall. "Well its Saturday so"
"Oh yeah that's right" said Barry.
"What?" said Burgundy.
Poof (smoke)
"Hey Janine" said Falkner.
"Hey… oh hey Barry" said Janine. Every Saturday she hangs out with Falkner to argue about who has the better father. Although that's how they see it it's obvious that they like each other.
"Hey… oh this is Burgundy" said Barry.
"Burgundy… don't I know that name" said Falkner.
"Well" said Burgundy then a boy ran into her. "Hey watch it"
The boy look at her for a second before running away.
"Weird" said Janine.
"Yeah are you okay" said Barry helping her up.
"Yeah (looking pass Barry) IT'S HER" yelled Burgundy.
"Who"
"That's the woman that scared me this morning"
"When did this happen?" ask Barry. "Hey where are you going"
"I'm going to give her a piece of my mind" said Burgundy walking toward the women.
"Well she's energetic" said Falkner.
"I better go get her" said Barry running after her.
"See ya" said Janine. "They make a cute couple"
"I guess" said Falkner.
"Not as cute as us"
"What…"
"Ahh nothing nothing I didn't say anything"
"Really?"
"Yeah really now shut up and" suddenly Janine ninja senses went off. "Get down!"
"What"
BOOMM! A bomb went out in the mall.
Out of the fire the woman walked out with a pokeball. "This is J" said the woman to her ear piece. "Caught one two more too go" said J before disappearing.
"Are you okay" said Janine holding Falkner.
"Yeah but the explosion Barry where is he"
"I don't know"
"HEY I'M OVER HERE" said Barry with Burgundy..
"What happen" ask Janine.
"We'll tell you guys later right now I need to call my mom" said Burgundy.
"Why?"
"Trust me"
"I'll get the police" said Falkner.
(An hour later)
Falkner, Janine, and Barry were finish helping the police help out the people that got hurt from the explosion.
"That's the last of them" said Falkner.
"Thank goodness" said Janine.
"Man why did this happen?"
"I have no idea… (looking at Falkner's arm) your arm!?"
"What (looking at his bruise) look at that"
"Look at that!? Really you could be really hurt" said Janine forcing him to sit down. "My dad showed me how to heal people come on let me take a good look at it"
"Alright but really it's nothing"
On the other side of the rubble the police were interviewing Burgundy.
"So you saw a woman chase someone then next thing you know the explosion happen?" said the cop.
"Yes" said Burgundy.
"Well then I won't bother you any longer… tell your mom I said hello"
"Will do" said Burgundy then Barry approached her.
"Hey"
"Hey"
"So what really happen happened?" ask Barry.
"Well as I turn the corner the boy that ran into me turn into a pokemon!"
"WHAT really?"
"Yes the Women attacked him then she cause the explosion"
"What does this mean?"
"I don't know but…"
Suddenly a loud voice was heard from the entrance.
"WHERE IS SHE" said a familiar voice.
"Mother?" said Burgundy.
"Oh my darling I was so worried" yelled her mom running toward her.
Barry started to make out the person making her way toward Burgundy.
"Wait a minute is that" said Barry.
"Hello there Mister Barry so you're the one keeping my daughter company" said Burgundy's mom wrapping her arms around her.
"Pri…Pri….Principal FANTINA!?"
"Yes?" said Fantina.
"Burgundy that's your mom"
"Why of course she is" said Burgundy.
"I….I have to go" said barry running.
"Honey where is he going" said Fantina.
"I hope I didn't scare him off" said Burgundy.
"Nonsense just give him a day to get over the surprise" smile Fantina.
(Black City- Rooftops)
Sitting at the roof of a building is mesprit, and uxie looking down at the city.
(Pokemon Conversation)
"Brother I'm scare" said Mesprit. "Those people capture azelf, and were next"
"Silence sister" said Uxie. "We might be outnumber but we just need to stay in the shadows"
"We need help remember that's why we came here they were chasing us all over sinnoh"
"Yes I know we felt Giratina's presence in this city, but now it seems so far away we need to find someone else that can help us"
"Right now we need to split up come on" said Mesprit taking the shape of a little girl with pink hair.
"Take care of yourself" said Uxie" taking the shape of a young boy with blond hair.
"Good bye Brother"
"Good bye sister"
The two pokemon went their own separate ways both looking both the same thing. Help.
The Hunt is on!
End of chapter 21. Next chapter I'm introducing Ruby's story. Also I would like to add more ships, nothing mayor but something like little cameos in every chapter so just tell me a good ship that you might like to see make a cameo appearance. Also when I first saw Burgundy I could have sworn she was somehow related to Fantina then I found out she speaks French. So I just added it because is a little funny. Like, comment, tell your friends, and next chapter coming soon.
