Aoshi's Moemon Adventure
Chapter 71
"Alright, thank you for saving the Slowpoke!" Kurt said, laughing. The three of them were sitting at the table in his house, his granddaughter playing with her Slowpoke.
"You're welcome…" Aoshi said, smiling. "Although I should really prepare for my gym battle…"
"Oh, that's not necessary now!" Kurt said, smiling. "Why don't you share a drink with me? After all, it's a happy occasion!"
"Not a chance!" A voice shouted, the door slamming open.
"Cystal?" Sharon asked, turning around to see the bluenette panting in the doorway.
"It's Kris." Kris panted. "And what do you think you're doing, offering alcohol to minors, old man?"
"Hey, come on, it's a party!" Kurt said, laughing.
"That's no excuse!" Kris shouted. "As an adult, you should be more responsible!"
"Why do you have to be such a hard-ass?" Sharon asked.
"What did you call me?" Kris shouted, struggling at Aoshi, who had the intelligence to hold onto her arms before she did anything stupid.
"So, old man, back to your moeballs." Sharon said. "I here you're the best around."
"I am." Kurt said, nodding. "I've been doing this since before the companies have."
"Alright then, I've got a challenge for you." Sharon said. "Are you sure you're up to it?"
"Bring it on." Kurt said, smirking. Sharon reached into his bag for a case, emptying its contents on the table.
"What are those?" Aoshi asked, staring at the colored fruits scattered on the oak table.
"Don't you recognize Apricorns when you see them?" Kris asked, finally managing to break out of the hold.
"You've collected quite a lot of these…" Kurt said, inspecting them. "At least ten of each color…"
"Alright, old man, I need you to make these balls for me in twenty-four hours." Sharon said, smirking. "Think you can do it?"
"Hmph…" Kurt said, smirking. "Who do you think you're talking to, brat?"
"Alright, I'll just leave now." Aoshi said, backing out of the house, running down the pathway until he reached the building that was the Azalea Town Gym. Unlike most gyms, which were normal buildings, this one was set up like a green house, made as a glass dome with many large plants growing inside of it.
Aoshi took a deep breath, and opened the glass doors, making his way into the arboretum-esque gym.
Aoshi maneuvered his way around the large collection of trees, pondering what they were for.
Soon, Aoshi managed to move out of the brush, into a large clearing with the largest tree in the gym in the center of it, towering up towards the glass ceiling.
"Welcome, challenger!" A young man said, jumping down from the large tree. He wore dark green safari clothes, and contrary to what one might expect out of someone on safari, he had violet hair down to his neck. "I am Bugsy, the leader of the Azalea Town Gym! Now that you've made it to me, it's time for out battle! Any questions?"
"Yeah, one." Aoshi said. "Are you a boy or a girl?"
"I'm a guy, damn it!" Bugsy shouted, flustered. "Why do people always wonder which I am?"
"The hair." Aoshi said, looking around at the trees. "So, are you a grass gym leader or something?"
"No." Bugsy said, smiling. "I'm a bug gym leader. My gym is designed like this in order for my bug moemon to feel more at home."
"I see." Aoshi said. "Alright, I'll take you on!"
"Oh, and before the battle, let me tell you one thing." Bugsy said, smiling. "Don't think you can just take my bugs down with a few fire attacks. We're much more powerful than that."
"Alright, let's go!" Aoshi said, tossing out a moeball, which Eve emerged from.
"Why do you always choose me?" Eve asked, turning to face Aoshi. "I mean, you do have other moemon to choose from, right?"
"Yeah, but you're really strong!" Aoshi said, smiling. "Please win for me, okay?"
"Fine…" Eve said, face palming. "I'll do my best…"
"Scy, come on out!" Bugsy shouted, throwing out a moeball, causing Eve to spin on her heal to face the moemon, a Scyther.
The Scyther wore a traditional ninja jumpsuit with mesh tights and sandals, with wavy, spiky hair down to her neck, covering one of her red eyes. She had long insect-like wings sticking out of her back, and her bare arms ended in two large green scythes.
"Wow, that is scary." Eve said, smirking. "But it's nothing I can't handle."
"Really." Scy said, smirking. "You think you can 'handle' me?"
"Yeah, actually, I do." Eve said, shooting out a shadow ball at Scy, who dodged it using quick attack, appearing behind Eve, striking into her back with her claws.
"See?" Scy asked, smirking. "When you've got natural weapons like I do, you don't even need to rely on attacks.
"Wanna bet?" Eve asked, shooting a shadow ball at Scy, who disappeared to dodge it, moving along the tall grass at a high speed, appearing behind Eve, lunging at her. "You're not the only one who can perform cowardly attacks from behind."
Just as Scy's claws hit Eve, she disappeared, slamming into Scy with a faint attack, knocking her to the ground.
"Alright…" Scy said. "It seems like I'm going to have to take you more seriously…"
"Oh, yes, you will." Eve said, smirking. She launched another shadow ball, which Scy dodged again.
"You think I'm going to fall for that trick again?" Eve asked, spinning around.
"Yes, I do." Scy said, reappearing behind Eve again, slamming her glowing claws into Eve's back, hitting her with a powerful fury cutter.
"That hurt, you bitch…" Eve said, standing up. "It seems like all you can do is attack me from behind…"
"Well, when you're as fast as I am, an attack from behind is just practical." Scy said, smirking.
"By the way, what attack was that?" Eve asked. "It stings like hell."
"It's called fury cutter." Scy said. "It gains in power with each successful hit."
"So all I have to do is dodge it, huh?" Eve asked, smirking.
"Easier said than done." Scy said. "After all, I'm much faster than you are. Unless you can track my movements, my striking accuracy is 120%."
"I'm not just any moemon." Eve said, as Scy disappeared. "I'm much stronger than you'd expect."
Eve reached her arm out, grabbing Scy by the front of her outfit, flinging her to the ground.
"There, see? You're not as strong anymore, are you?" Eve asked, smirking.
"Fine." Scy muttered. "I didn't think I'd have to use my final technique against you."
"Hmph." Eve snorted. "You think you've still got an ace up your sleeve? I don't."
"Yeah." Scy said, nodding. "It's an ace. An ace I don't like using. It's far to cowardly, even for me. But I'll do anything I need to too win this battle!" Scy disappeared, then reappeared slamming into Eve's body, charging her into the large tree in the center of the field, jumping back and returning to her moeball.
"Return, Eve." Aoshi said, returning Eve to her moeball.
"Meta, it's your turn!" Bugsy said, tossing out a meoball, which a Metapod emerged from. Metapod wore a green leotard covered in scales, and had black eyes and green hair down to her shoulders. She had a sort of dull look on her face, like she'd been through this sort of thing before.
"Alright, Cara, it's up to you." Aoshi said, tossing out a moeball, which Cara emerged from.
So, how's this? Pretty good? Not so good?
