Welcome my squadron to the latest issue of Pokémon Takeover: Game Genie! Lucas really put his foot and his mouth with Dawn. Who says they love someone, honestly? Last time we got an interesting side from Brendan regarding what May said to him. Wonder what he meant in the end…Whatever! Let's take a look!

Dawn was walking through the city with Piplup proudly following her. She had just finished her shopping, "Thanks for your help with carrying these bags, Piplup," she said as she carried her four bags while Piplup carried, well; one.

"Piplup!" the penguin cried. The two continued to walk until they saw Lisia with her Altaria.

"Oh my gosh, Lisia!" Dawn said almost screaming at the top of her lungs.

Lisia turned to see Dawn and smiled, "Hey Dawn, what's up?"

Dawn approached her, while trying to calm down, "What are you doing here?"

Lisia laughed, "I'm allowed to shop; just like you Dawn.

Dawn relaxed, "Right sorry, I'm just a huge fan."

Lisia put her hand on Dawn's hand, "You don't have to apologize. Man my Wallypop was right, you really are all over the place. Something wrong?"

Dawn's face saddened, "Well, you see…"

About 20 minutes later at a fountain in Town

"Oh I get it. He said he loved you, and you didn't say it back. Yep, I've been there before. It was with these two brothers who were fighting over me. Ended kinda badly…What did he say?" Lisia asked.

Dawn sighed, "He didn't get to talk. I kissed him before he had the chance." Dawn hung her head, "I feel so bad."

Lisia continued, "Well do you love him? Wally tells me you get along great."

Dawn stammered, "W-Well Lucas is a great guy and all; he's sweet, funny, and smart. But it just feels so sudden to say it, especially out of the blue like he did."

Lisia put her hand on Dawn's shoulder, "Relax, I'm sure Lucas knows how happy you two are together. I doubt that he's mad at you."

Dawn still felt sad, "It's not that I think he's mad, I think he's scared that I'm gonna freak out and leave him, and I don't wanna lose him. He's probably freaking out right now."

Meanwhile with Lucas

Lucas was throwing easy to dodge punches at Infernape while dodging at the same time; it did the same. "Dip, dip, potato chip. Dip, dip, potato chip. Dip, dip-" "What the hell are you doing?" Calem said.

Lucas turned to see Calem, "Oh hey, this is just how I train Infernape. It makes both of us stronger."

Calem shook his head, "Why can't you just battle like everyone else?"

Lucas replied, "Well you don't like battling me. I've only lost 8-"

Calem interrupted, "12."

"Okay 12 times. How about just an exhibition? Non-title; just to see where we match up nowadays."

Calem sighed, "Fine, but after the opening intro."

Cue eye catch

/watch?v=qrkbu4mLzlo (If you want music with it)

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 16

Exhibition 13

"Let's begin! Galvantula, battle stance!" Lucas cried as he released his spider Pokémon.

Calem grabbed a Poké ball and threw it towards the field releasing his Ledian. "Galvantula, Electro Ball!" Lucas said.

Galvantula fired the ball of electricity towards the opposing Ledian. "Ledian, dodge and use Silver Wind!"

Ledian obeyed and fired a barrage of crescents towards Galvantula. "Galvantula, Bounce up in the air."

Galvantula leaped off the ground, and flew high into the air. "Now fill your body with electricity, and charge towards Ledian!" Lucas said.

Ledian remained calm and stayed focused on Galvantula. "Ledian, use Reflect!" Calem commanded.

Ledian formed a blue barrier and stopped the head on attack. The barrier began to break but Ledian sent Silver Wind at Galvantula through the cracks.

Galvantula hissed as it was hit and slid back on its stomach, "You okay, buddy?" Lucas asked his electric friend.

Galvantula got back up, "Good, now Electro Ball." Lucas said.

"Ledian, go through it with Mach Punch." Calem commanded.

Ledian's fists glowed blue and smashed through the ball, while charging straight towards Galvantula. When it got towards Galvantula, Ledian connected with all of its arms.

Galvantula began to hold on, but could barely stand through all of the punches. It began to fall but not before jabbing Ledian in the gut before collapsing.

"Argh! Galvantula are you okay? Rest up, pal." Lucas said as he returned his Pokémon.

Ledian flew back to Calem, and landed on his shoulder while mumbling something angrily, "Led…Ian…Led"

"Relax, Ledian. Your gut is fine." Calem retorted as he began to think; "To think it went down using Fury Cutter. His battle style is completely reckless; it's no wonder Lucas is the weakest out of the four of us. But still, to think his Pokémon still fight for him; even if it amounts to nothing, what's his secret?"

"Hey! You alive in there, Calem?" Lucas shouted to snap his friend out of the trance.

"Y-Yeah let's keep going, Espe-" Calem's Poké ball burst open on his belt, but instead of Espeon, Cubone came out.

"Cubone!" it happily cried. "What are you doing," Calem asked curiously.

Cubone turned to face Calem and Ledian while clutching its bone; it simply gave them a thumbs up.

Calem looked at Ledian, "Led!" it said as it nodded. Calem thought for a few moments and finally let out a sigh.

"Fine, you can battle. Don't get careless though; you're still just a beginner." Calem said.

Cubone turned back to the battlefield and readied itself.

"Huh? You're using Cubone," Lucas asked. "Eh, if you insist. Go Drapion!"

"Drapion, Cross Poison," Lucas commanded. Drapion sent a powerful purple X towards Cubone, who ran quickly ran out of the way.

"Hm, so it's fast? Not bad; let's see what else you can do Cubone." Calem said.

Cubone nodded and threw its bone towards Drapion. Since Drapion was such a big target, it was easily hit; unfortunately it barely scratched him.

Drapion simply looked down at the bone and just grunted disappointingly, "Grr." It began to shake its head back from side to side.

Lucas anime collapsed, "Calem, what level is Cubone at right now? Have you even bothered training it?"

Calem scratched the back of his head, "Well to be honest, it hasn't battled yet. It mainly just plays with Umbreon and Espeon."

"Man, maybe this isn't such a good idea. I mean now I just feel bad." Lucas said with some guilt in his voice.

Calem shot Lucas a dirty look, "No, it needs to learn the basics of battling; let's continue."

Lucas hesitantly answered, "Fine, Drapion, use Rock Slide." Drapion created several rocks and threw them towards Cubone.

Cubone kept dodging the rocks, but found itself getting increasingly tired. "C'mon Cubone, keep dodging and wait for a chance to Headbutt."

Drapion rushed up towards Cubone and began to swing its claws at Cubone, who at this point was barely avoiding the sharp claws.

"Cu...Bone…Cu…Bone…" It huffed and puffed as it dodged and rested its head against Drapion. Drapion immediately smacked Cubone away; it rolled backwards towards Calem. "CUBONE!" it screamed as it cried loudly.

Lucas began to cover his ears, "Hey maybe it's not ready for battle yet. You wanna try someone else?"

Calem gave a disappointed grunt, "Fine, Cubone return." Calem continued to look at the Poké ball as he returned his youngest Pokémon.

Lucas spoke, "Well it wasn't a full blown battle, but I think we can at least call that a win by disqualification for us."

Suddenly the two heard a rumbling in their stomachs. Lucas laughed, "Wow, looks like we could use a break huh Calem?"

Calem simply nodded, "Fine, I'll let the boys know we're getting lunch if you want. We can finish our battle in the next chapter."

Lucas gave him a thumbs up, "Sounds good, and maybe I'll actually win this time around."

Calem smirked, "Yeah, and maybe you'll finally master Mega Evolution and save Narnia."

Lucas smiled, "Yeah mayb- wait a minute. Oh you got jokes now, huh?"

With Brendan and Wally

"Swampert, Hydro Pump." Brendan commanded. Swampert shot a blast of water at the opposing Sceptile.

"Sceptile knock it back with Leaf Blade." Wally said. Sceptile extended its leaves on its arms and slashed right through the water.

"Now while Swampert's vulnerable, use Bullet Seed." Wally said. Sceptile opened its mouth and fired yellow seeds towards Swampert causing a direct hit.

Swampert fell to one knee in pain, Sceptile charged towards Swampert with its blades extended. "Let's finish this off so we can finally win, Sceptile!" Wally said excitedly.

"Ha! I don't think so; Swampert use Mud Shot on the ground." Brendan shouted. Swampert fired a barrage of mud at the ground creating a foggy, brown smoke.

Unfortunately, Sceptile got some of the dust in his eyes; blinding him temporarily. "Now use Hammer Arm." Swampert swung its right arm and collided with the side of Sceptile's head. Sceptile was sent flying back towards Wally and landed on its stomach.

It tried to stand up but it fell to one knee, "Sceptile, don't give up yet!" Sceptile slowly stood up, and after a few seconds it began to have a green glow around its body. Swampert noticed this, began to laugh, and glowed blue.

Brendan laughed as well, "Overgrow and Torrent, huh?" I'd say we're about warmed up, don't you?"

Wally smiled, "Yeah," he showed his Mega Pendant while Brendan showed off his Mega Bracelet. They both put their hands on the stones and said the magic words: "Mega Evolve!"

The stones began to flash along with the Pokémon on the battlefield. There were bright lights and the auras surrounding the Pokémon began to expand into a giant orb. The orbs finally burst after a few moments; the two Pokémon roared their names.

When the lights disappeared, Swampert stood with a larger back and its arms were heavier than ever. Its gills were longer and sharper, and it had grown about a foot and a half.

Sceptile on the other hand had larger seeds on its back and its eyes were smaller. It also had a chest plate on that happened to be made of leaves. Lastly, Sceptile's tail had grown much longer and had a red stinger on it.

"Nice, this is where things can get fun. Swampert Ice Beam," Brendan commanded. Swampert fired ice at Sceptile.

"Sceptile, shoot your tail at the ice." Wally said. Sceptile turned around; its tail propelled and it smashed through the ice before returning to Sceptile.

"Hammer Arm!"/"Leaf Blade!" Brendan and Wally commanded respectively. Both Pokémon rushed towards each other and smashed their arms into one another's. They began to push off each other's arms. Both Pokémon realized they were at a stalemate. They both flipped backwards to gain some distance.

"Gah, just focus Wally; just focus!" Wally said with slight fear in his voice.

Brendan just laughed, "Wow, you still haven't changed much since we first battled. Swampert, Mud Shot." Swampert shot the bullets of mud at Sceptile hitting it in the chest multiple times. Sceptile fell to one knee.

"Hammer Arm," Brendan said. Swampert may have been slower, but it was still fast enough to hit Sceptile.

"Now finally, use Hydro Pump!" Brendan said. Swampert opened its mouth and fired the even more powerful water blast, due to the evolution. It connected and sent Sceptile sliding back right in front of Wally, unconscious.

"Hm, looks like we win again, Wally. Good work, Swampert." Brendan said as he pet Swampert. "Swamp," Swampert said as he reverted back to his original form.

Wally returned Sceptile and sighed, "You were great as usual Sceptile. Man, we've lost every, single, time."

Brendan put his hand on Wally's shoulder, "Yeah, but every time, you guys get better. You're the only one out of everyone who could bring us a challenge; except for Calem."

Wally smiled, "Yeah I guess. We'll battle again someday. And things will be different; I hope."

Brendan frowned at Wally's indifference, but then looked at his PokéNav. "Hm, we got a message for lunch from Calem and Lucas."

Wally looked at Brendan, "Seriously, when? While we were battling?"

Brendan continued, "Yeah…How long have we been battling?!"

Wally paused before answering, "I…don't…know…Anyways I'm gonna-"

"There you are!" said a voice. When they turned to see who it was, they saw Lisia; who immediately ran up to Wally, wrapped him up in a tight hug and pecked him on the cheek.

"H-H-Hey…Lisia." Wally said nervously while Brendan just laughed.

"Hey you, hey Brendan. What are you guys up to? Battling?" Lisia asked.

Brendan answered, "Yeah, it was intense. What are you two crazy lovebirds up to today?" The word 'lovebirds' caused Wally to blush.

Lisia smiled, "I'm taking him to lunch. You wanna join us?" Wally gave Brendan puppy dog eyes that screamed, "Please help me."

Brendan smiled back, "No, no, no. I wouldn't want to come between you two. Enjoy yourselves; I insist. Maybe you Lucas and Dawn can double date sometime."

Lisia had the biggest smile on her face, "That would be amazing. Let's go," she said grabbing Wally's hand. "Bye Brendan."

As the two walked off, Wally looked at Brendan and mouthed, "You suck." Brendan simply wave back and blew a kiss; much to Wally's annoyance.

Brendan sighed, "What to do with the rest of the day?"

Suddenly Bonnie walked past Brendan. Before she could get too far, Brendan grasped her arm.

"How did you know about what happened between you and May?" Brendan asked suspiciously.

Bonnie smiled, "You guys kissed in the middle of the Pokémon Center. How nobody else noticed you two is beyond me."

Brendan glared, "Don't push your luck kid," he said while giving Bonnie Sableye's Poké ball.

With Lucas and Calem

The two boys were sitting with Shauna and May. Lucas spoke, "Thanks for joining us for lunch ladies, Wally and Brendan won't pick up."

Shauna responded, "It's not a problem. How was everything Calem?"

Calem shrugged, "Eh, it was alright, I guess. Nothing out of the ordinary."

May giggled, "I guess that's what we've come to expect from you."

Shauna spoke, "Speaking of what to expect, over the past few days, it looks like you and Brendan are back to being at each other's throats again, huh?"

May nodded while pretending to sound annoyed, "Yeah, I guess even he can't be good for too long. Big jerk."

Calem looked at Lucas, "Is the reason you didn't invite Dawn because of what happened a few days ago?"

Lucas looked confused, "With me and Dawn? What are you talking about?"

May answered, "When you said…well… you know?"

"What's up guys?" Dawn said sadly as she appeared next to the table.

Lucas looked at his girlfriend and smiled, "Hey, how was shopping with Piplup?"

"It was fine. Where's everybody else?" Dawn asked rather sadly.

Lucas had another confused look, "What? They're right…" Lucas turned to see that everyone had vanished. Calem's cup was still spinning.

He turned to see Dawn continued to have a concerned look on her face, "What is it?" he said standing up to confront her.

Dawn remained quiet for a few moments before sighing. She liked Lucas a lot, but she didn't want to hurt his feelings. "Look, just because I didn't say 'I love you' back, doesn't mean-"

She was cut off by Lucas, "Hey, forget about it. Whether you say it or not, I still love you. And if that means I have to wait a little bit, so be it." He smiled after saying this.

Dawn's eyes widened; this definitely wasn't the answer she was expecting. But she was so happy she hugged Lucas and before he could return the hug, she pecked him on the cheek.

"You're the best; you know that right?" Dawn said while smiling and holding him.

Lucas laughed, "Well…Yeah, I did know."

A/N: Another chapter bites the dust. Even though there were more hints to development than actual development, there was more battling than usual in this chapter and some loose ends tied up (Or were they?). Anyways, as usual, you guys rock; continue to read and review. Today's questions are: What's your favorite type combination; could be of an actual Pokémon or your own type combo that hasn't been seen yet (I would love a Dragon/Bug or a Water/Dark). Also, what would be your goal as a Pokémon trainer; coordinator, master, breeder, etc. (I would be a Pokémon master and a little bit of a breeder.) See ya next time!
