Welcome everyone to the latest installment of Pokémon Takeover: Game Genie! So sorry an update took a few extra days. But it was finals week for me; so I had to do this weird thing called 'studying'. However, I'm done now, thanks for your patience. Now that Lucas and Dawn are seemingly a thing, things should start to get interesting for the gang! Let's hope they can last…
"No way!" Wally said. "Brendan, you're wrong." Calem said while petting Espeon. Brendan finished his soda before talking, "Guys I'm telling you, this is how things work. I know what I'm talking about." "Ridiculous." Calem shook his head. "Peon." Espeon purred as she rubbed up against Calem. "Kind of ruining your argument with a cat rubbing up against you, buddy." Brendan laughed. "Shut up." Calem calmly retorted.
Suddenly Lucas walked up with Dawn; the two were holding hands. "Sup, Fortune?" Brendan asked the couple, with the nickname he had given them. "You ever gonna explain that nickname to me?" Dawn asked Brendan, before looking at Lucas. Lucas nervously laughed, "I'll tell you later." Brendan then remembered, "Oh that's right; we wanted to get you guys' opinion on something: Would you rather live in a nudist colony? Or with the Amish?"
Both Lucas and Dawn immediately responded, "Amish." Both looked at each other and smiled, "You so get me." they said. Brendan gagged, "Anyways, looks like you guys are in agreement; I personally would go nude. Give the ladies a show; right?" Brendan held up his hand for a high five; but nobody accepted his offer. He then looked to Lucas, who he knew could always count on. Lucas then looked at Dawn, who had turned away. Lucas, noticing this, high fived Brendan, and the two preceded to laugh. Dawn simply shook her head, "You guys are dorks."
Calem looked towards Dawn, "By the way, Dawn; is everything okay with Serena? She seemed upset." Dawn sighed, "Yeah; Ash is a good guy and everything, but he's as dumb as a rock sometimes. It's sad really." Wally spoke up, "She still hasn't told him has he? Seriously, we've known you guys for only a few weeks, and even we've been picking up on the hints. Remember yesterday?" Calem sighed, "Commence flashback."
Flashback Start
Serena walks up to Ash who is playing checkers with Wally, while Lucas watches with his Infernape; who was wearing reading glasses. "Hey um, Ash I was wondering." she spoke. The boys looked up from their game, "Huh? What's up, Serena?" Ash asked. "And so it begins." Lucas mumbled. Serena spoke up, "Well Lucas and Dawn are going out tonight, but they want two more people to go with."
Ash blinked, "Yeah, so?" "Strike one," Wally said. Serena grew frustrated, "Well it's just that they kind of wanted to double date." Ash tilted his head in confusion, "What does that have to do with us though?"
Lucas deadpanned, "Strike two." Serena tried to remain calm, but it was getting harder, as she was almost fuming at this point, "The thing is, they asked if we would want to go." Ash scratched his head, "Wouldn't that mean we're a couple?" Infernape face palmed, "Do I even need to say 'strike three' at this point?"
Flashback End
"Since when the hell does Infernape wear glasses?" Brendan asked. Wally looked at him, "Yeah; that was the weird part…" Calem began to ponder, "Maybe I can make her feel better."
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 11:
Some Time Apart
After Breakfast, the group listened to Tierno and Trevor talk about their plans for the day. "So we're gonna go to one of the corresponding islands to find some Pokémon. Anybody wanna join us?" Trevor asked. Shauna's hand shot up, "I'll go. It'd be nice to add a new member of the family before the next showcase." Shauna, who was sitting next to Serena whispered into her ear, "You should come with us, it'd be nice for another girl to come; I love Dawn, but I can only hear so much about Lucas." Serena nodded, "Yeah, sure I'll go too."
Tierno added, "I think we can take one more person; but if we take too many people, we may scare off some of the Pokémon." Brendan and Ash both began to answer, "Well if you guys need somebody else then-" "I'll go." Calem answered quickly. Both of the boys looked at him, "You?" Tierno and Trevor smiled, "Awesome! The Kalos Squad!"
Brendan looked at Calem, "Calem, you'd rather hangout with these goody goodies than with us doing whatever it is we were planning on doing?" Calem forced a smile through his teeth (which looked more like a Sheldon Joker smile.) and continued, "Yeah. I would love to go with you guys." Brendan looked at Calem's smile with shock, "Dear lord, that's a terrifying 'smile'." "Yeah, it looks like the Cheshire Cat." Ash stated. Serena looked at Calem and pondered, "Why does he want to come with us all of a sudden? He doesn't like groups."
The Kalos Squad (A/N: Hate myself more and more every time I write that.) returned to the harbor that their cruise ship had visited in order to get to the island and waited for a smaller ship to transport them to one of the surrounding islands. After a few minutes of waiting, a small ferry arrived at the harbor and a man waited for them to board, "Where can I take you folks?" he asked with a smile.
Shauna energetically responded, "We'd like to go to one of the islands, sir!" The man responded, "Well which one, there's quite a few to choose from, little lady." The man held up a map of the islands surrounding them; there was Absalon, Spirit, Cosmic, and Phobia. Trevor spoke up, "We'd like to go to Absalon Island, please. Can't really say I like the idea of Phobia Island today."
The man nodded, "Can't say I disagree; Absalon Island it is." The five friends boarded the ship and headed towards the island. They arrived after about 20 minutes of sailing. "Woah, this island is AMAZING!" Shauna squealed. She began looking around and saw all of the flowers and beautiful, fuchsia trees. There were Pokémon who were playing in the flower fields and some that were heading into the beautiful forest. She then took note of an Audino, who appeared to be eating some berries. Shauna's eyes glowed, "It's so cute!" Tierno yelled, "Go for it! Try to catch it!" "Right," Shauna confirmed as she threw her Poké ball, "Flabébé, ShowTime!" The ball opened and released the flower Pokémon, "Flabébé!" it cried. The Audino turned and faced the two staring at it and simply curtsied and readied itself for battle. Serena giggled, "Well at least it has some class." Shauna smiled, "Flabébé, Fairy Wind."
Flabébé sent three waves of pink dust towards Audino. At first, Audino did nothing; suddenly, Audino's eyes glowed blue and the waves stopped in place. "Audino!" it cried while sending the waves back towards Flabébé. "Gah! That's Psychic! Flabébé, Protect!" Shauna yelled. Flabébé created a green barrier that blocked the first two waves, but the third one broke free and directly hit Flabébé.
"Flab!" it cried out. "Oh no!" Tierno cried out. "Flabébé! Use Hidden Power!" Flabébé created five orbs and launched them towards Audino. Audino simply danced out of the way of all of them. It then opened its mouth and screamed; purple hearts came out of its mouth and enveloped Flabébé. Flabébé cried out and stumbled to the ground.
"Oh no; that was Disarming Voice! What am I going to do?" Shauna cried out beginning to get nervous. "Calm down, Shauna." Calem said. Shauna's head shot up and looked at Calem, "What did you say?" Calem continued, "You're letting yourself get too flustered. Flabébé is a good Pokémon, but you need to learn to trust it. Think out your moves before using them." Shauna continued to look at Calem, after a little bit she began to blush. Calem got confused, "Huh? Why are you blushing?" Shauna shook her head, "Flabébé, Razor Leaf!" she commanded. Flabébé sent a series of leaves towards the opposing Audino. Audino tried to spin out of the way of the leaves, but this time it barely avoided them. Shauna smiled, "Use Fairy Wind!" The flower Pokémon sent three more waves towards Audino; this time all three hit Audino, who fell to one knee.
Audino cried out in pain, "Now use Hidden Power!" Shauna said. Flabébé sent the orbs towards Audino; connecting with it. Slowly it began to fall. Shauna readied the Poké ball, "Go, Poké ball!" she cried as she threw it at the Audino. The Audino went inside of the ball; it shook three times and finally clicked. Shauna ran over to the Poké ball on the ground and squealed, "Awesome job, Flabébé! We just got an Audino!" She and Flabébé did a pose with the ball while the others walked towards her, "Great job!" Tierno, Trevor, and Serena said.
Shauna nodded and looked over at Calem, who had his normal look on his face. She began blushing again, "Th-Thanks for your support, Calem." Calem answered, "You shouldn't need my help to be a good trainer." Shauna's smile fell, "R-Right," she said sadly. Calem frowned, "No need to be sorry. Not sure why you're always so nervous towards me. You're a great trainer, just trust yourself more." Shauna's smile returned, "Thanks!" The gang headed towards the forest as Trevor had decided he wanted to catch and train more Pokémon, besides Charmeleon.
Back with Wally and the gang
"So how long do you think they've got?" Wally asked. "Until they come back, or until Calem goes nuts from hanging out with so many emotional whack-jobs?" Lucas responded. Wally laughed, "Take you pick, I guess." Dawn and May had walked over to where the two boys were sitting; May sat next to Wally, while Dawn placed herself on Lucas' lap. "What are you guys talking about?" Dawn asked. Wally responded, "How long Calem's gonna survive hanging out with so much energy." May giggled while playing with something in her hands, "Yeah, bet he'll think twice about that next time. But hey, they're good people at least." Lucas looked over, "Huh? What's that May?" May looked up and showed the group a red and white bandanna and a flute.
"Apparently it's called an 'Eon Flute'. Legend says that it can summon a legendary Pokémon, but I'm sure that's just a silly myth. I still like to hold onto it though." "A legendary Pokémon; that sounds awesome!" Dawn exclaimed. "Well what about the bandanna, do you just have different one's for every day?" Lucas teased, causing Dawn to playfully hit him. May, "No, I used to wear this bandanna all of the time on my journeys before I switched to my bow; somebody very special gave it to me." Wally asked, "Who was it?" May sighed, "I don't know, I never got his name; it happened around the time I was 10."
Dawn teased, "Oh so, it was from a boy!" May's face saddened, "Yeah, but it was years ago, he saved me from a scary Pokémon; he got hurt though; never got to thank him after that." Now it was Dawn's turn to be sad, "Oh, well maybe you'll see him again someday. I mean who would've thought that we would've ran into each other like we did." May smiled, "Yeah, you're right." Wally spoke up, "So any idea when the next contest is?"
Lucas answered, "Not sure. I think that they'll announce them soon though." May excitedly spoke, "Well I can't wait! After Brendan talked with me after I lost, I'm feeling more motivated than ever!" The gang looked at her, "Huh? Brendan?" "Yeah, he really talked me up and got my confidence back. I got to say, he's not so bad." Almost on cue, Brendan came walking in with a girl, "So, I'll call you?" he said. The girl laughed, "Please like you're my type, kid." Brendan retorted as the girl walked away, "Actually I'm 16, and I'm a champion. What are you doing with your life? Nothing that's what; take a walk!" May frowned, "Eh, maybe not."
Back with the Kalos Squad
Tierno and Trevor had hurried along to find more Pokémon while Shauna walked with her new Audino. Serena and Calem followed close behind, "So why'd you come with us?" Serena asked curiously. Calem sighed, "Well to be honest, I wanted to check on you. You seem down lately. Everything okay?" Serena answered, "I don't know." Calem thought for a moment, "Is it Ash?" Serena blushed for a moment before answering, "Y-Yeah." Calem continued, "You can't just tell him can you? It's got to be the perfect timing, doesn't it?" Serena answered, "I'm just beginning to think he'll never catch on. It's just too difficult. Is that why you stepped up?" Calem nodded, "Felt like you two could use some time apart." "I guess. I'm sure this will all blow over by the time we get back. Thanks, Calem." she said as he hugged him tight. Calem stood there awkwardly, not even returning the hug. Serena quickly broke away, "Sorry! I know how you are about that." He shrugged, "It's fine. Not the first time and probably won't be the last." he responded as he kept walking.
A/N: Whew, another chapter complete! Things are really beginning to come together for certain characters. Since I'm on break now, I'll have much more time to write than I should be allowed to have; so that's good news. Continue to read and review! Today's two questions are: Which Pokémon theme song is your favorite? (Don't just say the first one unless you truly mean it. Nobody's judging you.) And, name one Pokémon that you think deserves a Mega Evolution? Also, keep putting which trainers you want to see face in battle. Those matchups will take place soon. Astalalater!
