Greetings Ed-Boys and welcome to the newest chapter of Pokémon Takeover: Game Genie! Finally we're back into the tournament battles; next up is Lisia and Wally vs Emma and Duncan! Hopefully the result of this battle will still keep me alive, let's begin!
"Gallade, let's do this!" Wally called as he released his loyal starter. Gallade landed on its feet in a bowing position, stood, and swung its arm fiercely; ready for battle.
"WE LOVE YOU LISIA!" shouted a guy in the audience; the rest of the guys in the crowd roared in approval.
"MARRY ME, LISIA!" one of the guys shouted.
Lisia giggled and smiled, "Sorry boys," Lisia shouted. "I'm already taken by this guy," she said pointing towards Wally. All of the guys in the audience glared at Wally.
Wally began to panic on the inside, "Great, win or lose, I'll have to run for my life," he thought.
"Delcatty, time to shine," Lisia called. Delcatty was released from its ball; it looked at Wally, confused.
"Delcatty, you're going to be battling under Lisia for today, is that fine," Wally asked.
Delcatty smiled, "Raw," it replied (Don't even know if that's what sound Delcatty makes, whatever).
Emma blinked her left eye twice and threw her Poké ball, "Let's go Fearow." Fearow appeared and swooped towards the ground.
Duncan smiled and threw a ball of his own, "Blastoise, Dragon Defenses." A Blastoise was released from the ball; it shot water from its jets in order to show off.
"You two have the first move," Lisia said.
Duncan smiled, "You'll regret that! Blastoise, Rapid Spin." Blastoise retracted into its shell and spun towards Delcatty and Gallade.
"Delcatty, Iron Tail," Lisia commanded. Delcatty leaped into the air; her tail turned white and she swung it at Blastoise's shell. When both attacks collided, both Pokémon slid back, undamaged.
"Gallade, Psycho Cut," Wally said. Gallade's arms glowed blue as it swung its arms and sent blue crescents towards Blastoise.
"Fearow, use Agility to dodge and then use Aerial Ace," Emma said. Fearow increased its speed and moved out of the way of every crescent, and finally landed a direct hit on Gallade; Gallade slide back with minimal damage done.
"Gonna have to do better than that," Wally said.
In the Crowd
"Wow, Wally seems especially pumped up today," Shauna said.
"Yeah, he seems really focused," Bonnie said.
"Well of course he is," Lucas said.
Dawn looked at her boyfriend, "What do you mean?"
Brendan spoke up, "Wally wants to prove himself in this tournament; he's always been the one out of the four of us with the most to prove. It's been like this since we met."
Cue 1st Ever Battle Intro (youtube watch?v=bDokwN3bkr0) (For music)
Lucas and Calem stand back to back; they begin to slide apart into the background. Meanwhile Wally and Ash cheer on Pikachu and Gallade, who are battling; using Iron Tail and Psycho Cut, respectively. Finally Brendan stands behind Swampert and activates his Mega Bracelet; there's a bright flash.
The guys, including Ash speak:
Chapter 27:
Give Up on Giving Up
"Fearow, use Aerial Ace," Emma said. Fearow, charged towards Delcatty.
"Delcatty, Blizzard," Lisia said. Delcatty opened its mouth and shot snow from at the opposing Fearow; Fearow was hit and slid back towards Emma.
"Are you okay, Fearow," Emma asked. Fearow slowly got up. "Oh thank goodness you're okay."
In the Crowd
"He's been like this since you met him," Clemont asked Brendan.
Brendan nodded, "Yeah, while not exactly on the brave side, he's always wanted to prove himself. Ever since we were kids:"
Flashback (8 years ago)
Brendan was walking through a city with his Mudkip. The two were looking around the buildings while making a quick stop.
"Let's hang out for a little bit longer before heading out, Mudkip," Brendan said happily.
"Mudkip," Mudkip smiled. The two came across a house with a little boy sitting outside of it; the boy had green hair and was staring intently at Mudkip. Mudkip walked over to the boy who braced himself and covered his face. Mudkip stopped in its tracks and tilted its head in confusion.
"It's okay; Mudkip won't bite," Brendan said smiling. Mudkip walked slower towards the boy and sat down. The boy slowly moved his hands from his face and saw the smiling Mudkip. He inched his hands towards the Mudkip and gently rubbed its head; Mudkip affectionately rubbed itself up against the boy's hand.
"See he's friendly; you make it seem like you've never been close to a Pokémon before," Brendan laughed.
The boy had a small smile, "S-Sorry, I'm not used to hanging out with Pokémon all that much."
Brendan approached the boy, "Really? Why's that; you're kind of surrounded by them?"
The boy shook his head, "Not me, I've been really sick since I was born, so I really can't stay around the outside world too much." Mudkip continued to rub up against the boy.
Brendan rubbed the back of his head, "Geez, you're a real bummer. What do you have?"
The boy spoke as a garbage truck pulled up in front of the house; the boy continued to speak as the truck was being loaded with garbage, but unfortunately, Brendan titled his head in confusion as he couldn't hear the name of the ailment the boy had due to the sounds the truck was making; the truck finally drove off.
"Understand," the boy asked.
No.
"Yeah, of course," Brendan lied.
"I'm Wally, by the way," the boy said.
Brendan smiled, "I'm Brendan, future champ." Mudkip and Wally laughed at that statement; causing to sweatdrop.
"You're both perfect for each other; anyways let's go," Brendan said. Mudkip stood up and walked towards Brendan but turned back towards Wally. "Aren't you coming," Brendan asked.
Wally looked up and blushed, "N-No way! It's way too dangerous; even if I wanted to, I can't. My family would flip if they learned I went out."
Brendan raised an eyebrow, "I really don't think that it'll be all that bad. C'mon. Choose 'Yes' or 'No'."
Wally shook his head, "Well then I choose 'No'." Brendan and Mudkip continued to stand in silence for the next several moments until Wally finally spoke up.
"You're not gonna leave until I say 'Yes', are you?" Wally asked.
Brendan shook his head, "Nope." Wally sighed, "Fine."
The two boys and headed towards the forest outside of town and saw a Ralts snacking on some berries.
"Whoa! A Ralts!" Wally shouted. The Ralts turned and threw a berry at Wally's head causing him to collapse.
"Wow that's sad; looks like I have to fight this thing," Brendan sighed.
Mudkip shot a Water Gun at the Ralts, hitting it directly. Ralts cutely growled back at Mudkip; who just smirked. Ralts had an evil look in its eyes as they glowed blue.
Wally noticed this, "Mudkip, it's about to use Psychic, dodge it!" Mudkip looked over at Wally shocked, shot a look at Ralts who sent a blue shockwave at Mudkip, who was able to dodge at the last second.
"Whoa, how could you tell-" Brendan asked in shock.
"Now Water Gun again," Wally commanded. Mudkip blasted another shot of water at Ralts; causing Ralts to fall to one knee.
"Now go. Poké ball, go!" Wally yelled as he threw the ball from Brendan's bag.
"HEY SINCE WHEN DID YOU GO THROUGH MY BAG!" Brendan yelled. Ralts went inside the Poké ball immediately. The ball shook a few times and clicked.
Wally picked up the ball and posed, "YEAH, I CAUGHT SOMETHING!"
"DON'T ACT SO HIGH AND MIGHTY, I'M THE ONE WHO YOU USED!" Brendan said towering over Wally.
"MUDKIP!" Mudkip yelled.
Brendan turned towards Mudkip, "AND WHY DID YOU LISTEN TO HIM?! WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?!"
Mudkip shot a Water Gun at Brendan and the two began to roughhouse.
"HEY DON'T BLAST ME LIKE THAT! I'M NOT SOME RANDOM, BRUNETTE, PRINCESS FOR YOU TO SHOOT!"
Wally began to laugh hysterically while holding his ribs; until he suddenly began to cough hoarsely. Brendan rushed over to Wally, "Are you okay, man?"
Wally slowly began to stop coughing as he took a puff from his inhaler. He breathed in a few times and finally settled down.
"Yeah, I'm fine, sorry to worry. And I'm also sorry for catching Ralts; I've always wanted to be a trainer, so I guess I got a little carried away," Wally answered handing Brendan the Poké ball. Brendan reluctantly took it and smiled.
"Hey it's no problem, and hey, you'll be a trainer someday. And before you ask how I know, I just do," Brendan said with a wink.
Wally gave a confused smile before standing up, "Should we get going back?"
Brendan shook his head, "No way! Let's hang out around the city a bit more; what's the worst that could happen?"
10 Minutes Later
There were four buildings in the town that were on fire and Pokémon were running through the streets. An Aerodactyl swooped in, picked up a running, naked man, and flew away.
"Please help me," the man screamed.
Brendan looked on with a normal expression while Wally looked on in shock.
"Wow, that was not at all what I planned," Brendan said rather calmly.
"I'm definitely never going outside with you again," Wally said. He collapsed to the ground landing on his butt.
(Cue Song: Mukashi no Yuujin ga Kawarazu ni iru Toiu no mo Waruku nai Mono da na...)
"C'mon, you at least had fun, right? I mean you don't normally get to do something like this, and if your parents don't kill you or you don't get arrested for what just happened, you'll be able to do it again really soon," Brendan said.
Wally looked up at Brendan, "Wh-What do you mean?"
Brendan looked back, "No matter what, you can let people take away your dreams. You want to be a Pokémon Master? You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!"
Wally looked down before standing, "You're right. I promise one day….I-I promise that one day, I'll become a powerful trainer. I'll become strong, have a beautiful, blue-haired girlfriend, and one day, I'm gonna beat you!"
Brendan's eyes widened, but then he smiled, "Good! I can't wait!"
Wally asked, "By the way, what's under your hat?"
Brendan answered, "Well I guess I can tell-"
"Wally!" a man yelled as he was running towards Wally.
"Oh, Dad. This is my friend-" Wally turned to see that Brendan was gone; he looked down to where Brendan was standing to see that there was a Poké ball on the ground. Wally picked up the sphere, looked at it, and smiled.
"I'll never stop, until I catch up to him," Wally thought with determination.
Brendan and Mudkip saw Wally from the atop the Pokémon Center; they watched on with equally determined looks on their faces and smiled.
Brendan spoke, "See you in a few years….old friend."
Flashback End
"And ever since then, I guess you could say we've been rivals," Brendan confirmed. "He's not gonna rest until we're equals, but personally, I think we're already there."
"Wow Brendan, didn't think you had so much respect for-" Serena said.
"DON'T LOSE TO THESE LAME SIDE CHARACTERS, WALLY," Brendan yelled.
Serena huffed, "Well that was brief."
Bonnie shook her head, "Are you surprised? After this long, I'm not."
On the Battlefield (End Music)
"Gallade, Swords Dance," Wally commanded. Gallade manifested multiple blades that clashed with each other.
"Blastoise, use Skull Bash," Duncan said.
"Delcatty, Iron Tail again," Lisia said cheerfully. Delcatty swung its tail again, but Blastoise withdrew into its shell and blocked the attack. Blastoise charged at Delcatty and made contact, sending Delcatty flying through the air; landing on its side.
"Are you okay, sweetie," Lisia asked Delcatty. Delcatty slowly stood up, but fell back to the ground; struggling.
"Fearow, Aerial Ace on Gallade," Emma said. Fearow smashed into Gallade and threw in an additional kick that stunned him temporarily.
"Rapid Spin," Duncan said, causing Blastoise to spin and smash into Gallade; he fell to one knee.
"Gallade, are you okay," Wally asked. Gallade was barely able to stand at this point.
"Maybe this is too much," Wally thought. "I mean we're strong, but Emma and Duncan are so in synch that-"
"Don't give up, you two," Lisia shouted at the two Pokémon.
Wally snapped out of his thoughts, "Huh?"
Lisia continued, "We've practiced really hard for this battle! We have to keep pushing ourselves, no matter what; you guys can't be champions if you lose here! Let's show 'em!"
Delcatty and Gallade both looked at each other and nodded. They slowly began to stand up and stand; battle-ready. Wally looked on in awe, "Wow…she's so incredible."
Lisia spoke immediately, "Focus, Wally."
Wally readied himself, "Y-Yeah, it's time to stage our counterattack. I'm giving up…ON GIVING UP!"
Lisia nodded, "Delcatty, Blizzard." Delcatty sent a wave of snow towards Blastoise and Fearow.
"Heat Wave, Fearow," Emma said. Fearow flapped its wings and sent orange waves at the blizzard and blocked the attack.
"Blastoise Hydro Pump," Duncan said. Blastoise shot water from both of its jets towards Delcatty.
"Helping Hand," Wally yelled. A golden aura surrounded Gallade, Gallade then sent the aura to Delcatty, powering her moves up.
"Skull Bash," Duncan said. Blastoise retreated into its shell and dashed towards Delcatty.
"Jump off Blastoise," Lisia commanded. Delcatty jumped at just the right moment and bounced off Blastoise's shell. Her head then began to glow blue and she bolted directly towards Fearow, who was unable to dodge the attack.
"Stay strong, Fearow," Emma encouraged. Blastoise almost hit Gallade, but Gallade moved at the last second.
"Psycho Cut," Wally said. Gallade formed a pink energy around its arms and swung them both at Blastoise's head, sending it flying back at Fearow; Delcatty returned to Lisia and Wally.
"WOW! An incredible comeback by Altaria Ascension against Dragonic Thunder!" Steven exclaimed.
"And to think that this loser, Wally, would be able to handle it!" Zane continued.
"Oh come on," Wally cried. He turned to Emma and Duncan, "Wait, your team name is 'Dragonic Thunder'? That is the coolest name ever!" Lisia giggled at her boyfriend's excitement.
Duncan laughed, "Hey, so is yours! I mean, it's better than 'CaLucas'."
"HEY!" Lucas yelled from the crowd. "Our team name is great!"
"No, it's terrible," Calem said.
"It's really bad," Zane announced,
"It's awful, and that's coming from me," Clemont added.
"You guys are the worst," Lucas exclaimed.
"Anyways…Iron Tail," Lisia commanded. Delcatty swung its glowing tail at Fearow, who dodged with Agility.
"Heat wave," Emma commanded. Fearow flapped its wings and the waves slammed into Delcatty who was barely able to stand.
"One more shot like that, and Delcatty's out," Wally said.
"Well looks like we have to use that combo we've been working on," Lisia stated confidently.
Wally smirked, "Right, we're ready when you guys are."
Lisia smiled, "Delcatty, use Blizzard on both Blastoise and Fearow; and don't hold up until I say," Lisia said. Delcatty took a deep breath and blew a giant blast of cold air at the opposing Pokémon; this blast was far more powerful as part of the battlefield began to freeze over.
"Not sure what they're going for, but we can't let them win that easily! Rapid Spin, Blastoise," Duncan said. Blastoise rotated with incredible speed; blocking some of the attack. Fearow was unable to get behind Blastoise and took an immense about of damage.
Lisia exclaimed, "Wally…DO IT!"
"Gallade, use STORED POWER!" Wally shouted.
"Stored Power?" Lucas and Calem questioned.
Brendan turned to them, "What's 'Stored Power'?"
"You'll see," Calem answered.
Gallade began charging up power. After a few moments, a green aura appeared around him. The aura grew and grew until it got to be about 7 feet tall. The aura resembled Gallade, but it had a spiked edge coming from the top of its head.
"Well…this is new," Duncan said.
Delcatty continued to blow the snow at the rotating Blastoise, but was starting to grow tired.
Finally, the aura lifted its right arm. As the arm was lifted, it extended; the aura swung the arm, along with Gallade. The arm smashed into the ground, connecting with Blastoise and Fearow. When the arm smashed the ground, there were flames emanating from it that were green and black that covered a good amount of the opposing area. The flames began to engulf the rest of the field; until it disappeared, along with the aura.
Delcatty collapsed due to the exhaustion. Delcatty and Blastoise collapsed immediately afterwards; Gallade was covered with sweat and was panting heavily but stayed standing. The crowd was in shock.
The referee nervously raised his arm, "Bl-Blastoise and Fearow are unable to battle…the victors are G-Gallade and Delcatty of Altaria Ascension." After a few more moments, the crowd roared with approval.
"Incredible! I'm not sure what that power that came from Wally's Gallade; but it was certainly something to behold! What a match," Steven announced.
Zane nodded, "Well even I'm impressed; a great showing by both teams; I'm gonna go get some soup," he said as he stood up.
Lisia looked at Wally and Gallade, "Wow…what incredible power," she thought.
Wally sighed, "Mugetsu…great job, old friend," he said as he approached Gallade. Gallade bowed to Wally.
Lisia giggled and went over to Delcatty, "Thanks so much for your help; sorry if we pushed you too much." Delcatty rubbed up against the trainer. Out of nowhere, Wally hugged Lisia from behind.
"Thanks so much Delcatty; you too Lisia," Wally said.
Lisia blushed immensely, "W-Wally." She then turned and hugged him back; she released him, took a deep breath and spoke.
"Wally, I love-" Lisia was interrupted by Emma hugging them both.
"Win or lose, that was pretty incredible," she said.
Duncan smiled, "Yeah, I know Stored Power gets stronger with increased stats, but still that was actually kind of scary; but pretty cool too."
Wally laughed, "Yeah, but to be honest, we weren't even sure it was going to work. At best, there was a 50/50 chance of failure." Lisia, Duncan, and Emma collapsed at what Wally said.
The two teams shook hands and were on their way; Emma and Duncan left the coliseum and saw Jayden, Jaysen, Kai, Tori, and Mordecai standing outside the entrance.
"So you guys couldn't pull it off, could ya," Jayden asked.
Duncan shrugged, "Hey, they're tougher than they look. And you almost lost to Ash!"
Kai intervened, "Geez, don't bite each other's heads off; remember, we're allies. Whether we like it or not."
Jaysen nodded, "Y-Yeah. We have our goals; no exceptions."
Later That Night
The gang was relaxing on the beach along with Drew after the long battle that night; there was a fireplace and the gang was seated.
"Wow Wally, things got pretty intense in that battle," Tierno said.
Wally nodded, "Yeah, I'm not too sure how we pulled it out though; I thought we were done for sure."
Shauna smiled, "Yeah, you'll be tough to beat whoever wins Brendan and May's matchup."
Brendan scoffed, "Please, nobody can beat us! I'm too cool to lose!"
May added, "Overconfident or not, I am curious as what you're adding to that getup. Which reminds me, why are you doing that?"
Lisia immediately spoke, "It's because he-"
Brendan sent Lisia a dirty look that basically said, "Drop it." Brendan noticed the curious looks that he was getting from the circle, particularly from May, who had Drew's arm around her, and Bonnie who was trying not to laugh at Brendan embarrassing himself.
"B-Because I can," he said with some blush on his face.
"Whatever," everyone said.
Out of nowhere, Calem grabbed Shauna's hand. Shauna yelped.
"KYAH! Wh-What are you doing," she asked Calem.
Calem answered, "Well I ran into Emma after the battle. She told me that your hands were cold. So, she suggested I try to warm them; I'm just doing what she said."
"That's a terrible lie. Why would he believe that?" everyone except Calem and Ash thought.
Steam shot out of Shauna's head, as she fainted backwards.
Calem looked down at her and spoke, "I should probably lean her on me for support," he said as he sat her up and placed her head on his shoulder.
Brendan, Wally, Lucas, and Serena shared a thought, "In his own way, he really is an idiot."
"Anyways, hopefully she recovers by Steven's wedding. We're all going, right," Ash asked.
Everyone nodded except Brendan.
"What's wrong with you," Calem asked, who still had Shauna unconscious on his shoulder.
Brendan shook his head, "Nope, I don't support this."
Serena looked at Brendan with a stern face, "What? You don't support gay marriage?"
Brendan scoffed, "What? No, not 'gay marriage'. Just marriage in general.
Bonnie got curious, "But why?"
Brendan sighed, "Well it all goes back to my childhood…I-"
Suddenly a familiar face ran up and pecked Brendan on the cheek, "Hey hun!"
Brendan turned around somewhat confused, "Who are you?"
May's eyes widened, "Brianna."
Brianna turned to May and faked a smile, "Oh wow, May. So great to see you," she said with obvious sarcasm. May sent her a dirty look.
"Wait, what did you mean by 'hun'," Trevor asked.
Brianna hugged Brendan and smiled, "Well that's what I like to call my boyfriend," she said, emphasizing the last word.
Everyone yelled, "BOYFRIEND?!"
Brendan was the most confused, "Wh-"
He then looked at Brianna who was giving him a pleading look; he sighed and gave in.
"That's right sweetie, I'm so happy you can meet my friends…and Serena too!" he said.
Everyone yelled louder, "Seriously?!"
Brendan nodded "That's right! We're in love!"
Brianna noticed Drew was also shocked and decided to tease him.
"Hope you're not too jealous! Be happy for us," she said.
Drew sweatdropped, "Okay, I'm happy for you."
Brianna immediately broke character, "I love you; I admit it, this loser and I aren't a couple!"
Brendan collapsed, but then immediately recovered. "Thank Cena; I can't have a relationship. Much less a Nisekoi."
Drew spoke, "That anime is so overrated."
Brendan shot a look at Drew, "Oh my Arceus, yes! It's so cliché!"
Drew stood up instantly, "I KNOW, RIGHT?!"
"Wanna go watch it and verbally destroy it," Brendan suggested.
"With pleasure," Drew said. The two ran off with smoke coming from their legs.
Everyone sweatdropped, "Wh…What just happened?"
May sighed, "Well, I always said, I want them to get along better."
Wally shook his head, "Well looks like I need a new best friend."
Lisia and Lucas both prepared themselves for Wally to choose them.
"Clemont," Wally suggested.
"Sure, why not," Clemont said.
Lisia and Lucas collapsed. "Not fair," Lisia said.
"Well you still have me, Lucas," Dawn said hugging him.
"..Meh.." Lucas said. Dawn instantly broke away from Lucas and walked away.
"Hey, wait! That's not what I meant!" Lucas said as he followed Dawn off.
Calem picked up the unconscious Shauna; bridal style, "Well I should get the two of us to bed."
"Yeah, you should," Tierno said suggestively. Calem raised an eyebrow, but shook it off and continued to walk off.
Trevor laughed, "Those guys sure are different."
Serena nodded, "It's been about a year since we've met them, and yet, we're still not used to them. They're so goofy!"
Bonnie smiled and looked at the stars, "Yeah, they're weird," she thought. "But I wouldn't change them in a heartbeat."
