Welcome dudes and dudettes to the newest chapter of Pokémon Takeover: Game Genie! Nice to see people are still loyal to this story and that I haven't gone totally insane writing it. Today we'll see Calem and Lucas finish their battle between starters and so much more! Time to play the game!

Brendan spoke as the officiator, "Let this incredibly one sided battle between Champion and…Lucas begin,"

"Infernape, let's go!" Lucas shouted as he released his starter.

Calem shifted his hat and grabbed a Poké ball, "Greninja, battle mode!"

"Now let's go, Infernape use-" Dawn cut him off by shouting to him, "Lucas, good luck sweetie!" she then blew a kiss towards Lucas.

Lucas caught it, laughed with a dorky look on his face, and then smiled at Dawn, "This one's for you babe. Nothing can stop us-" "Water Shuriken, Greninja," Calem commanded.

Greninja formed a few shuriken and threw them at Infernape, who was barely able to dodge them.

"Infernape!" Infernape yelled at Lucas. Lucas snapped out of his trance and realized the position he was in.

"Gah; sorry Infernape, use Fire Spin." Infernape growled and then spat the fire at Greninja.

Greninja threw even more shuriken at the blast of fire and put it out instantly.

"Greninja, Night Slash!" Calem said. Greninja formed a dark sword and charged towards Infernape.

"Infernape, use Flare Blitz to cover yourself and fight back. Infernape surrounded itself in a blue flame and began throwing punches and kicks towards Greninja, who was blocking them with his blade. They continued to clash until Lucas gave the warning: "Infernape, Greninja's planning on going on the offensive. You have to start dodging as he swings at you; just like we practiced."

Infernape took a deep breath and began to dodge each of the swings of the blade while Lucas recited the following with each dodge: "Dip, Dip, potato chip. Dip, dip, potato chip. Dip, dip, potato chip."

Calem began to get annoyed, "Cut it out! That's so obnoxious." Lucas smirked, "Don't hate; it works." Calem growled, "Smokescreen," he said.

Greninja put its hands in its signature pose and it caused a thick layer of smoke to hide itself. Infernape slowed down with its movements and simply closed its eyes; it put its knuckles together.

"Huh? What's Infernape doing? Shouldn't it be trying to plan for a strategy?" Brendan responded, "It is strategy. This is how Lucas and Infernape battle; rather than having a reckless style of battling, Infernape thinks more about his actions. Why do you think Infernape is always meditating?"

Dawn began to think, "Guess I never really thought about it. Lucas doesn't really seem like the Pokémon Master type like you, Ash, Wally, and Calem."

Brendan chuckled, "Yeah, remember he's Professor Rowan's assistant. He thinks more about what to do in battle and in life more than most people I know; even if he is a goofball. I'm always hard on him; but truth be told, he is the smartest out of all of us. He's goofy, but he has his uses."

Dawn giggled, "Sounds like you wuv him." she said in a teasing tone.

Brendan smirked, "Sounds like I wuv him more than you do."

Dawn glared at Brendan, "You suck Brendan,"

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.

Chapter 17

Finding the Partner

"Greninja, strike with Night Slash," Calem said.

The smoke still surrounded the battlefield and a shadow appeared from behind Infernape and swung its arm.

"Duck and kick it back," Lucas commanded. Infernape opened its eyes, ducked, and swung its leg right into the gut of Greninja who was sent flying out of the smoke.

"Now use Fire Spin," Lucas yelled. Infernape then shot a vortex of fire that enveloped Greninja; slightly damaging it. Now Greninja was trapped with nowhere to go; at least that's what Lucas thought.

Calem spoke simply, "Use Extrasensory to escape." The flames surrounding Greninja began to glow rainbow like the colors of a rainbow; the flames then shrunk into the shape of an orb and exploded. After the explosion, Greninja remained in its pose while Infernape's flame on its back intensified.

Calem smiled, "Looks like things are getting good. Use Water Shuriken and if Infernape can dodge, charge in with Night Slash." Greninja threw its newly formed Shuriken and formed another blade of energy. Infernape with its fire still burning, shot a blast of fire at Greninja. The fire stopped the Shuriken, but Greninja still connected with its blade across Infernape's chest.

Infernape cried out in pain before hearing Lucas' words, "If you still can, use Close Combat!" Infernape readied itself and once Greninja got close, it threw multiple punches and kicks that connected with Greninja repeatedly.

Greninja grunted with each hit and was struggling to fight back. With one final fiery, punch, Greninja was sent flying back. He landed on his stomach, and got up after a few moments.

"Well even though Infernape did some damage, its defense should be weakened due to the powerful move." Dawn said with concern.

Brendan responded, "Yeah, but luckily Lucas has taught Infernape to use Calm Mind. He should recover in no time."

Lucas commanded, "Use Fire Spin!" Infernape shot another wave of fire at Greninja.

Dawn and Brendan anime collapsed, "Seriously? We were just talking you up," they both said in astonishment.

Greninja dodged and readied itself for Calem's command, "Use the Quad-Combo!" Calem yelled.

Dawn got curious, "The Quad-combo?"

Brendan's eyes widened, "Yeah, your boyfriend is toast." To begin, Greninja produced a cloud of smoke around the battlefield confusing Infernape. Infernape put its hands together to meditate but was distracted by what was flying at it: Water Shuriken. Infernape dodged the first few ones with relative ease, but after a while, things began to get more difficult. After dodging about 20 Shuriken, Infernape began to get tired, however through the smoke, he saw a pair of eyes charging towards him. As soon as he noticed this, Greninja readied its blade and slashed at Infernape in the stomach for a direct hit. Infernape fell to one knee in pain while holding itself.

"Wow that's one sweet combo," Dawn said while writing things down, "Maybe I can use something like that during my contests."

Brendan smiled, "It's not over yet." The smoke on the field cleared, so luckily Infernape was able to see and began to stand. The fire on his back began to intensify due to Blaze being activated.

"Look around yourself," Calem said to Infernape. Infernape had a confused look on his face, when he looked up he saw multiple Shuriken surrounding him in the air. Not only that, but there was a rainbow colored barrier surrounding the battlefield that looked eerily similar to Extrasensory. Infernape simply grunted while Calem spoke calmly, "You still wanna keep going Lucas? This doesn't look good for you guys."

Lucas shook his head proudly, "No way, if we go down, we go down fighting; we don't quit!" Infernape smiled and gave Lucas a thumbs up.

Calem scratched his head in confusion, "Meh, I guess if that's how you feel." Calem said snapping his fingers. Greninja's eyes began to glow and the barrier collapsed; while the barrier collapsed, the Shuriken flew towards Infernape; each connecting with him. After the implosion, there was an explosion on the battlefield. "Infernape," Lucas yelled with concern. The smoke finally cleared, with Infernape unconscious.

Brendan made the call, "Looks like this battle is over, Grenin-" Infernape slowly stood up and began limping towards Greninja. Greninja remained still, due mainly to curiosity. "What's going on?" Dawn asked.

Brendan spoke in shock, "Infernape's crazy! It took all of that and still wants to fight?" Infernape continued to limp; suddenly, it covered itself in blue flames and hit Greninja right in the gut. Greninja gagged on impact and fell to one knee. Almost immediately afterwards, Infernape smirked, and fell to the ground.

Brendan's eyes widened, "That's one, tough Infernape. But now it really looks like this is over." Lucas walked over to his starter and spoke, "You get stronger and better every time we fight. I'm so proud of you, Infernape."

"Ape," Infernape said disappointedly. Lucas returned Infernape and sighed, "Oh well. Can't win 'em all. Good match." Calem nodded after returning and praising Greninja,

"Yeah, you too," he said after bumping Lucas' fist in a sign of respect. Dawn walked over to Lucas and kissed him square on the lips; the kiss lasted for a good while, until Dawn pulled apart still holding Lucas.

"Win or lose, you're still my Pokémon Master," Dawn said while smiling.

Lucas chuckled, "Well when you're right, you're right. And boy are you cute when you're right." Dawn smiled and pecked him on the lips once again while Calem and Brendan groaned, "Get a room," they both said.

Dawn stuck her tongue out at the two while Lucas laughed. "Even so, you held your own pretty well out there, Lucas," Brendan confirmed, "You might wanna find yourself a decent partner for the tournament coming up in a few weeks.

Lucas gave everyone a perplexed look, "Tournament?"

Calem answered, "You haven't heard? There doing a tag team tournament in a few weeks; right here on the island. The winners get these kind of cool looking belts."

Lucas smirked, "Don't you have enough trophies from all of your battles as a kid?"

Calem shrugged, "Well there's nothing else for me to do; just gotta find a partner."

Lucas immediately spoke up, "What about me, I co-"

"No," Calem said to answer him.

"What? C'mon man, why not?" Lucas asked.

Calem rubbed his temples with his right hand, "Cause you just lost to me."

Lucas laughed, "Oh yeah."

Brendan hung his head, "You're hopeless sometimes; I've got other stuff to do, I'm out." Brendan said as he walked away.

"You're still coming by for tonight, right?" Lucas asked. Brendan waved as he walked away, "Yeah, yeah sure."

Lucas spoke, "So what do you say Cal-" he turned to see Calem had disappeared and was replaced by a cloud of smoke. Lucas hung his head, "Why does everyone keep doing that?" he said sadly. Dawn put a hand on her boyfriend's shoulder to comfort him.

To Wally

Wally was sitting at the ramen shop with his "girlfriend", Lisia. To say he was uncomfortable, was a major understatement.

Lisia flashed a smile, "It's so great how we both have Altaria; that ride we took was amazing. The two of us, together on our Altaria."

Wally blushed heavily, "Y-Y-Yeah, lots of fun." Lisia finished drinking another bowl.

Wally took a deep breath; he really didn't know what to do in this situation, "So um, what-"

Lisia cut him off, "The rest of the day is ours. What do you wanna do?"

Wally froze again, "Well I was actually wondering," Wally tried to continue.

Lisia kept talking, "Well maybe we could see what your friends are up to. I bet they-"

Wally shouted, "Lisia!" The whole restaurant turned towards their table. Lisia's face turned a bright red, "What is it?"

Wally took a deep breath, "Why do you like me so much? We barely know each other, yet the second time we meet, you kiss me. Seriously, what's up?"

There was silence for a few moments; Lisia's face remained the same. Finally she huffed and spoke, "That's the thing that I couldn't figure out. I mean I'm gonna be honest; you're different from the other guys I've dated."

Wally looked perplexed, "Huh? What do you mean?" Lisia scratched her head, "Well see, you're not cool, you're overly shy, you don't even seem that tall-" "How is this supposed to make me feel better?" Wally sweatdropped.

Lisia looked back at Wally, "I'm getting to that. You're not any of these things; but that's a good thing." Wally's eyes widened.

Lisia continued, "Well, I kind of have a reputation for dating jerky guys; but when I started asking May about you; she kept saying how sweet you were. She also told me to stay away from Brendan and that she has no idea what TM's are. The point is, I took a chance with you."

Wally went right back to blushing, "Oh…well I guess I can understand-"

Lisia cut him off in a sad voice, "You don't have to be with me if you don't want to; I don't need pity."

Wally stopped her, "No; it's not that I don't like you. It's that, well…I don't know you too well. I'm sorry." Lisia's sad look began to disappear, "I got it." Feeling bad, Wally spoke up, "Look, my friends and I are hanging out tonight? Why don't you come with me; the more the merrier."

Lisia finally cracked a smile, "That sounds amazing! Thanks!" She then leaned over the table and kissed Wally on the cheek; unlike the feeling of discomfort he normally had, Wally smiled. "She's scary, but really sweet at the same time. Actually, she's pretty cute too."

Later that night

The whole gang had gathered in the foyer of the Pokémon Center. Lisia had made plenty of small talk with the rest of the girls while the guys simply boasted about who would win the upcoming tag tournament. After everyone had gathered, Shauna spoke up.

"Okay everyone, let's get started. I thought tonight would be a really great night for us to spend some time together. What should we do?"

Tierno spoke, "Dance off?" Everyone looked at him and shouted, "No!"

Trevor spoke next, "Compare Pokédex entries?" "NO!" everyone yelled.

Lisia thought for a moment, snapped her fingers, and spoke, "Truth or Dare?"

The group agreed; mainly due to the fact that there were no better ideas and took their seats. Ash asked, "Well who wants to go first?"

Brendan spoke, "I'll go first. Get mine out of the way. I pick Dare" Dawn looked at him and smiled, "Make a prank call."

Brendan laughed and pulled out his PokéNav; he dialed and it rang; someone picked up after a few rings, and Brendan shouted, "WHAZZZUUUP- Hello, hello? They hung up on me."

Dawn sighed, "Fine, I guess it's me then…Truth." Bonnie and Lisia looked at each other and smiled mischievously. Bonnie spoke for them, "How far have you and Lucas gone?"

Lucas and Dawn spit up their drinks and began coughing heavily, "That's none of your business, Bonnie," Clemont said, also being in a fluster. May was busting a gut, "Never thought anyone would be bold enough to ask that."

Brendan stepped in, "As far as I'm concerned, you can't say no to a dare." Dawn and Lucas blushed; they wanted to change the subject, but they knew that would be to no avail. Dawn and Lucas both answered at the same time respectively, "1st base/2nd base."

Dawn looked at Lucas, "What?" Lucas hung his head embarrassed, "I'm not familiar with the bases." After a few more ridiculous dares and pointless questions, it was Brendan's turn again.

"Truth," he said. Serena smiled, "How did you meet your Swampert?"

Brendan smiled back, "That's actually an interesting story."

Flashback Start (10 years ago.)

There was a little brunette boy leaning up against a tree. He was holding his face in his knees and he was crying. "I was playing in the woods one day, I wasn't supposed to go far, but curiosity really got the best of me. After a while I started to get scared, there were a lot of scary Pokémon and I didn't have any of my own."

"Aw, you were so cute as a little kid." Lucas said. Brendan smacked him, "Shut up!"

"Anyways, there was a rumbling in the bushes and it was really freaking me out," The little boy screamed at the bushes, "Please just leave me alone; I just want to go home." The boy continued to cry until a Pokémon with a fin on its head approached him. "Mudkip," it said with a concerned look on its face.

The little boy remained frightened and turned his head away from the Mudkip. Suddenly he heard the voice again; but this time it was closer. When the boy opened his eyes, he saw the Mudkip looking at him; he looked closer towards the ground to see a patch of berries between the two. The boy wiped his tears and smiled, "I guess you're kind of cool," he said petting the Pokémon.

Flashback End (Present.)

"After everyone found me, Mudkip followed me home. We've had each other's backs ever since; always have, always will," Brendan said while looking at Swampert's Poké ball.

The gang smiled at the story they had heard, except for Calem who just sighed. Unfortunately, Ash took exception to that.

"Why do you have to be like that, Calem?" Calem looked at Ash, "Like what?"

Ash continued, but not with anger, "So cold? I mean, we're all having fun, but you don't seem to be enjoying yourself. Serena has told us what you were like when you were younger. What happened?"

Calem remained silent, while Brendan, Wally, and Lucas froze. Serena glared at Ash, "He doesn't have to tell you anything, Ash."

Shauna defended Calem, "Yeah it's his life, not our business." Calem took a deep breath and spoke, "All you had to do was ask." The gang looked towards Calem with curiosity and let him finish; "You wanna know what happened? I'll tell you."

A/N: Wow…That was something. Definitely some nice progression and an interesting cliffhanger for Calem; heads up, that's not the only thing he's hiding. As always you guys rock, review, read, and follow! Today's questions are: Who is your least favorite anime rival and why? Personally, Black and White was during my time off, so nobody there counts for me. I guess I have to say Drew; I never found his character very interesting; also it felt like I never saw him win anything. Also, who's your favorite gym leader and why? Mine is Norman mainly because he made Normal Pokémon look badass and BECAUSE HE'S A FATHER DAMN IT!" See ya next time!
