Hey guys, welcome to another chapter of Pokémon Takeover: Game Genie! Love this story, and love the reviews coming in! Keep 'em coming; it's great motivation! Also some of these characters will fall to recurring characters; sorry but not everyone is important. That's what my parents tell me…. Let's get to it.
"Ok I need this perfume, and these windbreakers, and these tops too!" Serena yelled.
"What about these dresses?" Shauna yelled.
"And these cute pajamas?" Bonnie added. Even May found a few contest dresses to wear.
This was just adding to the tremendous pile of bags Lucas ended up carrying. He finally found a seat to place himself in, "Ugh, why am I always the one who has to do this stuff?"
After a few minutes of rest, Dawn walked up to him and sat down beside him, "Having fun?" she asked while smiling.
"Yeah, it's so much fun." he said with fake smile.
Dawn then giggled, "Wow, I've only known you for a few hours, and I can already tell when you're lying."
Lucas hung his head, "Sorry."
"Why'd you come with us anyway?" Dawn asked.
Lucas then gave her a confused look, "Because you dragged me here?"
Dawn asked, "I did?"
Lucas then chuckled, "Yeah; grabbed my hand and didn't let go till you girls started looking." he said with a hint of blush.
"Oh r-right." Dawn answered back with blush of her own.
"If you don't mind me asking, why did you make me come?" Lucas asked.
Dawn's blush grew even deeper, "Well, I guess I just feel safe around you. You did save me after all; you're kind of my hero."
Lucas almost fell out of his chair, "Really? To be honest, I partially got my braveness from you."
Dawn was surprised, "Huh, me?"
Lucas nodded, "Well whenever I saw your contests on T.V., you were always adjusting your strategy and fighting back. Even if you lost, I still saw that you kept trying."
"Aw, Lucas; you're embarrassing me!"
"P-plus….. never mind" he stammered.
"What?" she asked curiously. "It's nothing!" he lied.
Dawn began to get upset, "Lucas, I told you I know when you're lying. If you don't tell me, I'll be really upset." Dawn said frowning.
Lucas took a deep breath and finally spoke, "You looked…you looked beautiful."
Dawn's face became as red as a Charmeleon, "I-I-I was?"
"Yeah," Lucas said becoming even redder than she did, "You still are." he added, which he immediately regretted in his head.
Dawn had the biggest smile on her face, "Really?" she asked, being extremely giddy and her face got very close to Lucas'.
"Yeah," he responded.
"Aaawwww!" the remaining girls said who appeared to be standing right in front of Lucas and Dawn.
"Aah! How long have you guys been here?" Lucas asked.
"Long enough." they all said.
Lucas began comically crying, "Why me?"
Cue eye catch

Trevor and Tierno grab Calem and pose while he just groans. Ash, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie pose like they do in the anime with Serena sliding closer to Ash. Shauna and Dawn pose back to back with their arms folded; smiling. Lucas seems to be wearing a glove. He then cocks it like a gun. Brendan with his back turned puts his hat on and spins around. He smashes into May. They both glare at each other and Wally tries to break them up.
Our Four Heroes Say:
Chapter 7:
Adventures in the City
Calem, Wally, Lucas, and Ash explored through the city, simply sightseeing until they came up with a plan for the day. "So you think, Lucas is okay with the girls?" Brendan asked.
"Yeah, they're harmless." Calem said.
"All they're doing is shopping with him." Ash replied. Wally then made a mortified face, "Dear lord, he's doomed."
Brendan and Ash laughed, suddenly Clemont spoke, "Well I have been interested in the gear shops; maybe they have something for my inventions."
Brendan turned to Clemont, "Oh yeah, you're still here Clemont, kind of forgot about you during the last chapter when we all split up (Nice work writer!)" Clemont and Ash had a confused look "Chapter?" "Never mind." Brendan responded.
"Let's get going to the gear shop. They might have some cool stuff." Wally said. The gang arrived at the gear shop; it was surprisingly big and Clemont ran off into the building faster than the gang could say, "Go Go Gadget Clemont!"
"So, are we ever gonna see him again?" Wally asked.
Brendan responded, "We better; I'm not taking care of Bonnie." The rest of the boys began looking at the watches, Poké balls, laptops, and even some mechanical parts, that they couldn't tell you what it was called.
Finally Brendan and Ash sat down to take a break, "Hey, sorry if I got a little mean over our battle. I guess it's been a while since I've had a real challenge."
Ash smiled, "No worries, it was nice to battle the Hoenn Champion. How'd you beat Steven?"
"Two words; Mega Evolution. Even then it was still hard; he wasn't champion for nothing. Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah sure," Ash responded. "What's up with your friends? They're so…squeaky clean? You're all goody goodies."
Ash replied, "Well we all just have a different way of doing things than you and your friends, I guess. I mean don't take this the wrong way but-"
"But what?" Brendan asked. Ash responded nervously, "Well you guys are…. kinda weird."
"WEIRD?!" Brendan said comically astounded. "What's that supposed to mean?"
Ash rubbed the back of his neck, "Well let's see: Wally's a nervous wreck, Lucas jumps headfirst into danger, Calem's way too quiet and never smiles, and you keep saying weird things and then say, 'Nothing.'"
Brendan took a deep breath and relaxed, "Well we have personalities, what can I say?"
Ash continued, "Well there's that and your denial about liking May."
Brendan then got mad again, "I do not like her! Frankly, I don't even like her as a person all that much. I barely know her; so there's no way she's for me."
"Trust me, Brendan. I think I can tell when someone has feelings for someone else." Ash said confidently.
Brendan deadpans, "Really Ash? You can tell when someone likes someone else? Really?" Brendan began to fume and was about to snap, until he finally took another deep breath and muttered to himself, "Man, anybody who ships Ash at this point is really gonna hate this story."
Ash was confused (Shocker.), "What was that?" "Noth-" Brendan stopped himself before proving Ash's point, "Shut Up!"
The boys headed back to the Pokémon Center after a few hours in town. Ash decided to work on some combinations for battle, while Brendan, Wally and Calem hung out in the Center's foyer. After a few minutes of talking, the sliding doors opened; when they looked, the boys saw legs and hands; the rest of the body was covered by bags of clothes and other accessories. The legs scurried off to the rooms. The boys were all incredibly confused. After a few moments, they saw Lucas come back, panting. He made his way back to the boys and collapsed on top of Calem's lap.
"What happened to you?" Wally asked.
"Shopping Wally; lots of shopping." Lucas said. He then reached into Wally's pocket, pulled out an inhaler, and took a puff.
"H-Hey!" Wally said surprised and a little annoyed.
Lucas then shot a look at Wally, "I'm out of breath leave me alone." He then looked at Calem who appeared to be giving him a blank look as usual. "What?"
Calem finally spoke, "Can you get off me?"
Lucas smiled and leaned more into his friends lap, "But your lap is so comfy." Calem responded to this by quickly standing up; causing Lucas to fall on the Pokémon Center floor.
Lucas looked up at Calem, "You suck." Calem simply patted Lucas on the head; like he would a Mightyena. The doors opened again and the girls walked in; they seemed to be giggling about something.
"No way, we couldn't tell them that." May said. Shauna responded, "Well they might wanna know something like that." "Huh? What's so funny?" the boys asked. Serena looked at the girls and spoke, "We were just talking about who's the cutest guy out of everyone?"
Every guy except Calem looked at the girls intently, "And?" they asked.
"Oh you guys don't wanna know stuff like that. It's girl stuff." May said. All the girls walked off laughing with the exception of Dawn and Bonnie.
The three boys collapsed, "Aw, damn it!" they said. Bonnie and Dawn laughed before Bonnie looked at Calem, "Did my brother come back with you guys?"
Calem sighed, "He said he'd be back… eventually. He wasn't specific."
Bonnie asked, "Gear shop?" "Gear shop." he confirmed. Bonnie sighed, "Of course." She said before she walked off to the rooms; leaving only Dawn left. She walked over to Lucas as he was getting up; she appeared to be blushing.
Lucas looked at her and spoke, "What's up Dawn?" She then grabbed him and wrapped him up in a hug; surprising him.
"W-What's this for?" he asked.
"Thanks for shopping with us today; you're really sweet!" she said while their faces were touching, causing Lucas to blush heavily now.
"You're welcome," he said hugging her back. Suddenly Dawn pulled out of the hug gave Lucas a quick peck on the cheek. This caused Lucas' face to become even redder, and his body to freeze. Dawn headed to the rooms, but not before turning to flash a smile at Lucas and waving back to him. The three boys got in Lucas' face snapping their fingers at him to see if he was still alive or in a comatose state. A push from Calem caused him to stumble, but catch himself at the last minute.
"Awesome! She totally likes me… I think."
Brendan simply shook his head, "You've been hanging out In Professor Rowan's lab way too long my friend."
Wally laughed, "Looks like you've got your love interest."
Lucas smiled, "Well don't be jealous guys; if you ever need someone to love and snuggle with, you'll always have each other."
Brendan and Wally responded with "Touché."
Calem was about to speak before a poster on the wall caught his attention, "Pokémon Contest next week. Showcase your talents and your Pokémon. Winner receives Mirage Ribbon." he plainly read.
Lucas finally recovered, "You think the girls will wanna compete?"
"What do you think?" Brendan asked rhetorically.
"Well it gives May and Dawn something to fight for. Supposedly these ribbons are incredibly rare." Wally added.
"Will winning the ribbons affect the story in the long run?" Brendan asked.
"Who cares?" Calem asked. "We have to keep this series Pokémon related somehow."
A/N: Well another chapter has come and gone. Two reasons I uploaded early; I felt like cranking out another chapter just because, and two, my laptop screen partially cracked. So before I get it fixed, I wanted to get this out there; just in case it takes a while. Thanks everyone for your continued support and reviews. Keep em coming! Tell your friends, neighbors, teachers, bosses, ice cream men who are sleeping with your wives (or husbands; I don't judge.) Also let me know, who is your favorite Pokémon starter? I mainly mean form the main games, but any Pokémon game works for me!(Mine is Mudkip) Astalalater!
P.S.: Heartbreak is hard folks. But not everything is easy; keep moving forward and get back on that horse. It gets better!
