Eve: So, we've finally reached the party! What will happen now? Remember to review!

Legends Awaken: Sinnoh Arc

Chapter 29


"Ugh… I hate fancy parties like this…" Kaien muttered, walking out of one of the spare rooms. He was wearing a suit with a black tie, and he had his hair brushed down, without his hat.

"Hey…" A voice said, as another person walked out. He was wearing a suit exactly the same as Kaien, and he had straight brown hair down to his neck.

"Wait, Akira?" Kaien exclaimed. "What the heck happened to you?"

"They cut off the last two inches of my hair and straightened it…" Akira said, looking down. "They said I was too messy…"

"However, there is one good thing about it." Akira said, smiling. "I look like Pierce Brosnan from GoldenEye and Tomorrow Never Dies."

"Oh, don't." Kaien said, face palming.

"Come on, I have to." Akira said, smiling.

"You so do not." Kaien said, smiling despite himself.

"Bond. James Bond." Akira said.

"Well, should we go to the party?" Kaien asked.

"Yes, we shall." Akira said, smiling.


"Hey, where's Eevee, anyway?" Kaien asked. The two of them were standing by the buffet table, and were about as popular as plutonium. There was actually about a fifteen foot gap around the two of them, with no people in between.

"I had to leave her in the daycare room, since pokemon aren't allowed out of their pokeballs in the ballroom." Akira said.

"Ow, harsh." Kaien said.

"Hey, look, there's Sakura!" Kaien said, pointing up at what appeared to be a stage at the very end of the room, where Sakura was standing behind a microphone.

"Wow, she really does look pretty in that dress." Akira said. Sakura was dressed in an expensive white gown, the kind you'd expect a bride to wear. She had a blue and silver bow on the back of the gown, which wrapped around to the front, just under the chest. The bow had two silver ribbons at the bottom, which reached down to her knees. Her hair was let down, brushed straight, and had a blue ribbon entwined in it, and a silver bow on the side.

"Ah, so are you changing your mind about refusing to marry Sakura?" Kaien asked, poking Akira.

"I'm not getting married." Akira said adamantly.

"Ever?"

"Not right now." Akira corrected.

"So, in, say, ten years, you'll marry her?" Kaien asked.

"I didn't say that." Akira said. "Shut up, she's talking."

"Um, everyone…" Sakura said into the microphone. "Thank you for coming today…"

"As many of you know, I went on my journey one month ago." Sakura continued, growing slightly more confident. "My pokemon right now are My Vulpix and Skitty, who I got from mommy and pappy, and a Turtwig I got from Professor Rowan."

"I thought you had the Turtwig." Kaien said.

"I do. But I got it from Sakura, and she has to put up a façade." Akira said, smiling.

"I also have a Budew and a Pikachu, both of who I'm also training for gym battles." Sakura said, smiling. "I currently have three gym badges." She held up a badge case, which held Akira's badges in it.

"Aren't those your badges?" Kaien asked.

"Yes." Akira said. "I gave them to Sakura before the party."

"Thank you all for coming to my party today." Sakura said, bowing. "I hope you all will continue to support me!"

Akira and Kaien noticed that everyone else was applauding, so they began to as well.

"That was a great speech that Sakura made." Kaien said, smiling.

"Alright, so what do we do now?" Akira asked.

"Well, let's go see Sakura and congratulate her on her speech." Kaien said.

"Well, well, well." A snooty voice said. "What do we have here?"

"Huh?" Akira and Kaien asked, turning around.

"What are you two inferior trainers doing here?" A woman asked. She looked like she was one of those snooty, rich people, which she probably was. Her assumed husband, a short, pudgy man with glasses, was behind her.

"What are people like you doing here? This is a party for the rich and famous. Not for… gutter trash… like you." The woman said, brushing a gloved hand through her black hair.

"What are you saying?" Akira asked, glaring at the woman. "We have as much of a right to be here as you do."

"Of course you do." The woman said, but her black eyes were cold, saying she meant no such thing.

"Do you have the strength to back up your accusations?" Akira demanded.

"What a rude child that boy is." One person whispered to another.

"Can you believe he's talking that way to someone that important?" Another whispered.

"Um, Akira, I think we're attracting a little too much attention..." Kaien said, feeling the intimidating glares.

"Fight us in a double battle!" Akira exclaimed, quiet enough to not be yelling and yet loud enough for everyone to here. "Me and my friend against the two of you!"

"Why do I always get dragged into stuff like this…" Kaien moaned.


"Alright, are we clear? This will be a two on two battle! We can each only use one pokemon, and the first team to lose their two pokemon loses the match!" Akira shouted. The four of them were now in the practice room, with Akira and Kaien on one side, and the woman and her husband on the other. The rest of the guests were seated in bleachers the size of a football field on one side of the room, and on the other side a box with Sakura and her parents was on the wall about 20 feet from the ground.

Come on guys, you can do it! Sakura thought, mentally cheering the two on.

"That's acceptable." The woman said.

"So, how'd I get involved in this?" Kaien asked.

"Just shut up and throw out Sandslash." Akira ordered.

"Hey, why are you ordering me around?" Kaien exclaimed.

"Just do it." Akira said, so Kaien reluctantly sent out the mouse pokemon, sighing.

"I hope you know what you're doing…" Kaien said.

"I do." Akira said, throwing out a pokeball.

"Cynda!" Akira's Cyndaquil said, emerging from the ball.

"Why are you using Cyndaquil?" Kaien asked. "Shouldn't you use something more like Luxio or Shieldon?"

"Just wait…" Akira said, smiling.

"Persian, go!" The woman said, throwing out a pokeball. A large, white cat emerged from the ball, snarling.

"Jolteon, go!" Her husband said, throwing out a pokeball as well. This time, a spiky yellow dog-like pokemon emerged from it.

"Kaien, info." Akira ordered.

"Can't you just use a pokedex?" Kaien asked, sighing. "Fine. The cat one is Persian, the evolution of Meowth and a normal type. The other one is Jolteon, the electric evolution of Eevee."

"Good." Akira said, smiling. "Then this should work out perfectly."

"Persian, use fury swipes!" The woman shouted. Persians' claws began to glow, and it leapt at Sandslash.

"Sandslash, dodge it with dig!" Kaien exclaimed. Persian, however, leapt over the hole and cut into Cyndaquil.

"Jolteon, use thunderbolt!" The man said, as his Jolteon began charging energy, before releasing it at Cyndaquil.

"Sandslash!" Sandslash shouted, jumping out of the ground in front of the electric attack, blocking it.

"Cyndaquil, use flamethrower!" Akira shouted.

"Cynda!" Cyndaquil shouted, shooting out a blast of flames at Jolteon.

The flame attacks hit Jolteon head on, knocking it to the ground, and as it struggled to right itself, Sandslash jumped out from under it, knocking it into the air.
