Legends Awaken: Sinnoh Arc
Chapter 37
"So, this is the café mom told us about, huh?" Kaien said, looking around the restaurant.
"Welcome." The waitress said, bowing. "I will now show you to your table."
"Alright, now what would you like?" The waitress asked as we sat down.
"Well, what do you have?" Hiruko asked.
"We have Moomoo Milk." The waitress said, smiling.
"Then why would you ask us?" Hiruko asked.
"I was hoping you wanted it." She said, smiling.
"Signora, this milk is not heated up correctly!" A large man at the next table shouted.
"Mario, you're making a scene." His wife whispered.
"Gosh, that Italian family at the next table sure is quiet." Kaien said sarcastically.
The waitresses' eye went wide, and she walked over to the phone.
"Begin with phase one." The woman said in Russian, and hung up the phone before leaving.
"That was weird." Sakura said. "Well, anyways, there's contest happing in Celestic Town, so I'm going to go there!"
"Well, that sounds like a good idea." Akira said. "What do you think, Hiruko?"
"Sure…" Hiruko said, nodding. "It would be nice to watch a contest for once, instead of competing."
"Wait, you won't be competing?" Sakura asked. "Why not?"
"Well, I just don't want to." Hiruko said.
"Aw, that's no fun…" Sakura sighed.
"Alright, so let's go on the move to Celestic Town!" Sakura said, standing up.
"Yeah, we might as well, since we probably won't actually drink milk, right, Eevee?" Akira said, smiling.
"Uei!" Eevee said, nodding.
"And now we're lost. Again." Kaien said, smirking.
"Then stop letting me lead!" Sakura said.
"It's okay, guys." Hiruko said, smiling. "Celestic Town is right past here."
"Wait, is that a motorcycle?" Akira asked.
"Oh, what are you guys doing here?" Bari asked, pulling to a stop in front of the group.
"We came to compete in the pokemon contest." Sakura said.
"Well, that might be difficult." Bari said. "Some guy from Team Galactic has come to blow up the ruins, and refuses to leave until he blows the whole town up."
"What?" Akira shouted. "Bari, take us to the ruins!"
"Ever notice how whenever people are in a tight situation, they call on ten year olds?" Kaien whispered to Sakura. "It makes no sense."
"Alright, get away from the ruins!" Bari shouted, driving up, with the rest of the group straight behind him.
"Well, well, well." The galactic grunt said, smiling. "If it isn't the police. Come any closer, and I'll blow it."
"Wait a second!" Akira shouted. "We're not going to let you get away with that!"
"You kids are so naïve." The galactic grunt said, smiling. "You haven't even noticed that we have one of our spies in your midst already."
"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked.
"That friend of yours, Hiruko, he's one of the galactic spies." The grunt said, smiling.
"Yeah, right." Kaien said. "Like we'll believe you."
"No…" Hiruko said. "He's right."
"Right? What do you mean he's right?" Akira asked. "All this time… You've been spying on us?"
"Yes… I was ordered to spy on you, but you helped Larvitar… And tried to save Zubat…" Hiruko said, looking down.
"You always were sentimental." The grunt said, smiling. "That's why you aren't a good grunt. You need to realize that pokemon are tools."
"They aren't!" Hiruko shouted. "Pokemon are supposed to be friends, not weapons!"
"You fool." The grunt said, frowning.
"So, I'm going to fight you." Hiruko said, taking out two pokeballs. "Go, Larvitar, Zubat."
"Wait, what's going on?" The grunt said, staring at the two pokemon, who were now glowing.
"They're evolving!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Whoa, what are they?" Akira asked, taking out his pokedex as the light faded.
"Pupitar, the Hard Shell Pokémon. Pupitar is encased in a nearly indestructible shell and has enough power to topple a mountain." The pokedex said. "Golbat, the Bat Pokémon. The evolved form of Zubat. It has four sharp fangs and emits supersonic waves more powerful than Zubat's."
"Whoa, alright…" Akira said, smiling.
"Pupitar, use sandstorm!" Hiruko ordered. Pupitar shot sand from his body, whipping up a sandstorm, blocking sight.
"Gol!" Golbat said, flying back from inside the sandstorm, holding the detonator.
"Smart." Bari said. "Hiruko blocked sight with sandstorm, while Golbat's echolocation found the detonator."
"Great!" Sakura said, smiling.
"Darn it!" The grunt shouted, turning tail and running.
"Oh, no you don't!" Bari shouted, throwing out a pokeball. "Get him, Vine!"
"Tangrowth!" The large, green pokemon said, shooting out several tendrils, catching the grunt, pulling him back.
"Alright, now that that's wrapped up, I should probably leave." Hiruko said. "I need to turn myself in for my crimes."
"Hey, I hope we see you again." Sakura said.
"Really?" Hiruko asked, surprised.
"Yeah." Sakura said, nodding. "I still need to beat you in a contest, after all."
"Oh, speaking of contests, good luck with it, okay?" Hiruko said, smiling.
"Alright, let's go." Bari said, cuffing the grunt, along with Hiruko.
"Wow, it's still hard to believe that Hiruko was working for team galactic." Kaien said, as Sakura came back from registering at the contest hall.
"I know… But if he was a bad person, Eevee wouldn't have gotten along with him." Akira said.
"Alright, you guys are all set up!" Sakura said, smiling.
"Wait, what?" Akira asked, surprised.
"I got you both contest passes!" Sakura said, smiling. "We'll all be competing!"
"…No freaking way." Akira said. "I can barely stay awake through a contest, but competing in one?"
"You sound like you have a choice." Sakura said, smiling evilly. "I have pictures of when I drew all over your face when you were asleep, and unless you compete, I'll post them on the internet."
"Fine." Akira said.
"Unfortunately, there's nothing I can threaten you with." Sakura said to Kaien. "...Yet."
"…That's nice." Kaien said, stepping back.
"Alright, welcome to the Celestic Town pokemon contest!" The announcer called, standing in the center of the stage, with the audience applauding. "And our first contestant is Akira Saroyan from Twinleaf Town!"
"Alright, go, Turtwig!" Akira called, running out. He tossed out a pokeball, which Turtwig emerged from in a flurry of leaves.
"Turtwig, use razor leaf, then energy ball!" Akira ordered. Turtwig launched leaves into the air, which began rotating through the sky in an orbit. He then fired a sphere of energy into the air, in the center of the orbits.
"And use razor leaf one last time!" Turtwig fired a single leaf up into the energy ball, causing it to explode, and likewise the spinning leaves.
"Wow, I didn't expect Akira to be this good." Sakura said.
"Yeah." Kaien said, nodding. "He's good at improvising."
"This is going to be hard…" Sakura said, looking at the view screen.
