A/N: What up guys? Big Tasty 3:16 here with another chapter of Pokémon Takeover! Love writing this so far! Right now we have quiet the colorful cast of characters, and I do like the silent/calm character for Calem I've created. Let's see what the gang is up to!

Chapter 4:

My So-Called Friends

Ash, Calem and the rest of the gang had finally sat down at a small ramen shop on the island. They were able to get a seat relatively early since everyone else was still settling in on the island. They ordered their food and decided to have a chat. "So Calem, how do you know everybody?" Bonnie asked enthusiastically.

Before Calem could answer, Tierno interjected. "Well when the three of us got our Pokémon, we actually got there kind of late. Calem was the last one to get a Kalos starter."

Trevor then followed suit, "Yeah, once he got his starter, all Professor Sycamore had left were the three Kanto starters."

Shauna then spoke after finally recovering from earlier, "We all got our starters around the same time and we all battled afterwards. Calem ended up beating us pretty bad."

"Yeah, and we've been neighbors since we were kids." Serena said. "Lots of fun memories."

Ash then got excited, "Wow you must be really strong. How many badges do you have?" Calem then pulled out his badge case revealing every Kalos gym badge.

"Wow you have every badge?" everyone at the table asked.

Calem simply nodded, "It's nothing really. I have my Pokémon to thank. How many do you have?"

Ash then hung his head. "Well I actually only have six."

"Well I'm sure, you'll get the other two, no problem." Serena exclaimed. Calem took note of the way Serena talked to Ash and began to ponder. Their food arrived and they ate their meals. Afterwards they were about to leave, but Calem was cutoff at the door by Ash.

"Calem, I wanna battle you!" Suddenly everyone gasped.

"I want to prove myself against someone who has already beat the gym leaders, what do you say?"

While everyone else remained shocked, Calem stayed calm as usual. He finally answered, "Very well. I accept." Ash's then smirks, "Alright let's go."

On Another Part of the Island

Another ship had arrived in the port and Brendan and Wally gathered their things and got off. They headed towards the Pokémon Center and registered for their rooms. "So you think we'll find some cool Pokémon here?" Wally asked.

"Well I hope so. To be honest, I really wanna find some strong trainers. Let's go explore!" The two boys left the Center and began to explore the island.

While exploring they came across a statue of a man. He seemed like he was of below-average height and a handlebar mustache. "Who's this old-timer?" Brendan asked.

Wally then read the plaque that was below the statue. "In honor of Mr. Mioto. Founder of these islands. "The mirage master." A true visionary. Wow this guy sounds really important."

"Yeah." Brendan responded. Suddenly one of Brendan's Poké balls popped open, startling the two boys. When the light disappeared, Brendan's Leafeon appeared in front of the two boys. "Leafeon!" it cried. The boys stood confused, "Huh? What's up Leafeon?" Brendan asked.

"Leaf! Leaf! Eon!" Leafeon cried excitedly. Wally was beyond confused but Brendan seemed to have an idea of what Leafeon wanted.

"Ha ha! You wanna practice Energy Ball again don't you buddy?" Leafeon nodded in confirmation. "Well okay. To be honest, that would be the one thing that would help perfect our combination. Feel like a little sparring Wally?" Brendan said as he walked and Leafeon backed away from Wally to get into battle position.

"Y-Yeah let's do it!" Wally said grabbing a Poké ball from his belt and tossing it. When the light disappeared, Wally's Delcatty appeared.

"Del!" it purred.

Brendan then cracked a smile, "Right, let's get started!"

Calem and Ash were on separate sides of the battlefield. "Alright, don't hold back C-"

Back with Calem

Ash was cut off by Calem. "Let's make this a 2 vs 2 person battle! Pick a partner!" Everyone was rather surprised.

"What do you mean? I just wanna battle you!" Ash exclaimed.

Calem sighed, "I want to see how you do in a tag team scenario; if you really want to be a Pokémon master you need to be able to battle under a variety of situations. Up for the challenge?"

Ash thought for a minute, "If I win do you promise to have one on one battle?"

Calem nodded, "Serena, Shauna, do you mind helping us out? Serena teams with Ash, and Shauna can be with me."

Shauna froze in her place. "Did you hear that Trevor? Calem wants to be with Shauna," Tierno teased.

"Sh-shut up!" Shauna said finally able to speak.

The two girls joined Calem and Ash and sent out their Pokémon.

"Braixen, come on out!"

"Swirlix, on cue!"

Both Serena and Shauna released their Pokémon respectively. "Let's go Pikachu!" Ash exclaimed.

"Pika!" Pikachu said excitedly.

Calem grabbed a Poké ball and threw it. When the energy faded, a Greninja appeared; "Ninja." it cried.

"Water Shuriken," Calem said. Greninja then formed two shuriken from its hands and threw them towards Braixen and Pikachu.

"Flamethrower!" Serena said as Braixen shot flames through its branch, colliding with the shuriken and creating smoke.

"Pikachu, Electro Ball!" Ash commanded. "Pika!" Pikachu cried as it formed a ball of electricity and shot it towards Greninja.

Shauna then yelled, "Swirlix, light screen!" Swirlix complied by forming a barrier of light blocking the electricity. "Not bad," Ash said.

"Yeah, but the real battle starts now!" Serena exclaimed. Suddenly, four robotic arms came out of nowhere and grabbed Pikachu, Swirlix, and Braixen. The fourth one attempted to grab Greninja, but it dodged with ease. Everyone gasped in shock, "What's going on?" asked Tierno and Trevor. Suddenly an air balloon appeared that seemed to resemble a Meowth. Four figures stood in the balloon and began to speak:

"Prepare for trouble, there's Pokémon to steal!"

"And make it double, 'cause we're the real deal!"

"To protect the world from devastation!"

"To unite all peoples within our nation!"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Jessie!"

"James!"

"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

"Meowth, that's right!"

"Wobbuffet!"

"Team Rocket!" everyone except Calem yelled.

"Who are these guys?" Calem asked confused.

Shauna answered, "They're bad people who try to steal Pokémon!"

"Well I've got to admit, there motto's pretty damn good." Calem said sounding incredibly calm for the situation.

"You're not supposed to be impressed with them!" Serena yelled in a comical anime style.

Jessie giggled, "Looks like one of you twerps has an eye for talent. Not that it matters."

"We've got your Pokémon and then some." James said. Meowth then pushed a button that put Pikachu, Swirlix, and Braixen in a container that was carried by a rope that the balloon was carrying. But in the container there was already a Glaceon and a Piplup. The container closed and the Pokémon cried out for help.

"Greninja, cut the rope with your shuriken." Calem said. "Ninja!" Greninja said as it threw its shuriken at the rope slicing it in two causing the container to fall to the ground and break.

"Wha?!" Team Rocket said in shock. The Pokémon ran to their trainers.

"So good to see you guys are safe!" Shauna exclaimed.

"Yeah!" Serena and Ash said.

Suddenly they heard voices; "There you are!" two familiar girls said as they ran towards the gang.

"May, Dawn?" Ash asked.

"Ash?" they both replied.

"Exposition and happy reunions later!" Calem said.

"Right, Pikachu Thunderbolt!" Ash yelled.

"Pika-Chu!" it yelled as it sent a bolt of lightning towards Team Rocket, connecting with them.

"Now Greninja, Extrasensory!" Calem yelled. Greninja formed a rainbow colored energy around Team Rocket. The energy caused a temporary implosion right before exploding and sending them off.

"That twerp's pretty strong." Jessie cried.

"He could be quite a handful." James cried.

"Look on the bright side; there can't be that many chapters where this kind of shtick happens. Oh wait." Meowth said.

"We're blasting off again!" they all cried in unison.

"Wobba! Wobba!" was heard in the distance and finally there was a twinkle.

"Good work you guys!" Ash said.

"Is this something that happens on a regular basis?" Calem asked.

Bonnie sighed, "More than you think." Before anyone else could talk, a large ball of green energy flew towards the gang and hit them. When the smoke cleared; everybody's hair was messed up.

"Sorry about that!" Brendan and Wally said as they ran towards them.

"Leafeon's Energy Ball is still a little hard to control. Say you're sorry Leafeon!" the boy said.

"Leaf-" Leafeon was caught off guard when it looked at May's Glaceon. He noticed the sparkling ice off of her and he began to blush.

"Huh? Leafeon?" Brendan said.

"Well it doesn't look like there was too much damage so I guess-" May stopped.

She looked at Brendan intently and began again; "Wait a minute, I know you!"

Brendan looked back at May, "Oh shit."

"You're the one who cost me my lunch!" May yelled.

"Oh yippee, the princess lives." Brendan mockingly said.

This resulted in a hit from May familiar to the one on the ship.

"Ow! Man you're a pain!" he said.

"You know this guy, May?" Dawn asked.

"Yeah, this is the guy who I told you about." May said obviously still angry.

"You mean the one you said was cute?" Dawn replied.

May then blushed, "I-I didn't say that!" she stammered.

Wally then spoke, "Anyways, we're sorry to have troubled you guys." Wally said trying to restore some order.

Brendan had finally calmed down. "Yeah. To make it up to you, I can make dinner for you all. Don't mean to brag, but I can cook."

"That sounds great!" the gang said.

Brendan then looked at May who hadn't responded and was still blushing; "That okay with you, sweetheart?" he said mockingly.

May then stopped blushing and responded, "Sure thing, darling." she said in almost the exact same tone.

A/N: Wow that was a big one. A lot of characters, a lot of meetings, and best of all, Team Rocket. Not too shabby for myself. Will May and Brendan be able to get along on this vacation? Does Leafeon have a chance with Glaceon? Why is Shauna so nervous around Calem? And why the hell does Calem like Team Rocket's motto? All these questions (except… actually I may answer all of them. I'm feeling nice.) answered next time on: Pokémon Takeover: Game Genie. Big Tasty out!
