Welcome Patrons to the newest volume of Pokémon Takeover: Game Genie! There's more tournament battles in this chapter so let's get through it! 1…2…1, 2, 3, GO!
"The Pikachu says, 'Pika'," Lucas exclaimed looking at his egg.
"The Charizard goes, 'Rawr'," he said imitating another Pokémon.
"And for the last one: the dog goes-"
"BIG BROTHER EDWARD!" Brendan shouted at Lucas in a very dopey sounding voice, startling him.
Lucas turned to his friend, "You're a monster."
Brendan twistedly smiled, "I know; I got another one. Nina Tucker and her dog were the best of friends; they were practically inseparable." Lucas covered his face and groaned.
Brendan tilted his head, "What are you even doing?"
Lucas recovered and spoke, "Well if I teach it now, that'll help in the long run. It's part of being a parent."
Brendan sighed disappointingly, "Ugh, how are you the smart one again?"
Lucas looked back, "Hey, I at least have to try."
Brendan shrugged, "Eh, still better than my parents."
Lucas replied with no emotion, "You know I hate that joke."
"What joke," Brendan replied. "Anyways, I gotta to go prepare for May and I's match."
"Yeah okay, good luck-wait! There's another hour before your battle!" Lucas turned to see that Brendan had disappeared. "I really should be used to people doing that by now."
Lucas picked up the egg, placed it in the container, and put the container back in his backpack. As he stood up, he felt someone's hands cover his eyes.
"Guess who," the voice said.
Lucas folded his arms, "Hm, over-the-top cheerful voice, love of surprising people, seems barely tall enough to be able to reach my head….Shauna?"
The person let go of Lucas' head and revealed herself to be none other than Shauna. "Hey, dude!"
"Sup bro," Lucas said. The two high-fived.
"What's up?" Shauna asked. "Parenting 101?"
Lucas laughed, "Ha, yeah! You wanna teach it something? You are the one who found it."
Shauna sweatdropped, "Th-That's okay. Wasn't Brendan just here?"
"Yeah, but he had to go get ready for his battle. Remember he's been wearing that really weird getup for the tournament battles." Lucas said.
"Well we don't have any idea how he does it," Shauna replied. "Then again, he does love to show off." Suddenly, Shauna got an idea. "We should figure out what he's up to."
"…Yeah, maybe we can snoop around, knowing Brendan, he could be planning something wrong. Or at most, we could see how he prepares that costume." Lucas exclaimed.
Lucas put his Pokétch to his face; there was a ringing sound and suddenly a click was heard. "Hey babe, we're gonna go watch how Brendan changes, you want in?" Another click was heard.
Lucas was confused, "Hm, I guess we got cut off."
Shauna mentally sighed, "How is he my second favorite?"
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 28:
You Should Be Booing Yourselves
Brendan was seen walking towards his destination. With his hands on the back of his head; singing.
"Wanna know why/Wanna know your fantasy/Hope it's not too late/Tears falling from your eyes/No it's no fate," he sang.
There was rumbling heard from the bushes to the side of him; out popped the heads of Shauna, Lucas, and Shauna's Audino.
"Is he always like this? He seems really weird," Shauna asked.
Lucas nodded, "Yeah, even if he's kind of a jerk, he can have a fun side to him…sort of."
The two saw Brendan approached a little girl who appeared to be crying; Brendan looked up and saw a balloon flying through the air. He released Flygon, climbed on her, and pointed at the balloon. Flygon flew towards the balloon allowing Brendan to grab it. Flygon flew back down so Brendan could get off and Brendan handed the balloon to the little girl. The little girl's smile returned as she hugged Flygon's head and proceeded to Brendan's waist, which he returned.
"Aw, I guess he is kind of nice," Shauna said.
"Really? He's never been that nice to any of us," Lucas said jokingly.
"Oh stop, he has to have been nice sometimes….right?" Shauna asked.
The two continued to follow Brendan as walked into the city. Shauna noticed him looking around his surroundings.
"You think he's onto us, guys," Shauna asked. Audino shook her head. Shauna turned to talk to Lucas and gasped when she saw what he was wearing. "Hey, what are you doing?!"
Lucas had his hair spiked with a green jacket with orange strips that barely covered his stomach, green shorts, and green boots.
"He won't recognize us if we're in disguise! How come you're not wearing one," Lucas asked.
"I can barely focus on what's happening right now," Shauna said disappointingly.
"He's actually right. A disguise would help," a voice said. Shauna turned around to see Calem with a white wig, blue boots, blue shorts, a white t-shirt, and a dark blue shirt underneath said turtleneck.
Shauna immediately blushed, "WHY ARE YOU IN DISGUISE TOO? And why are you even here? Not like I-I-I don't want you here! We-We can def-,"
Lucas cut Shauna off; saving her, "Oh, I invited him off-screen."
Telepathic Thoughts
Lucas: Mainly because, YOU TWO need to get along; haha!
Shauna: …I'm gonna kill you one day, Lucas!
Lucas: I'm sorry. But c'mon, you need to work up your confidence around him; if you guys are gonna ever get married!
Shauna froze at that thought, "What Calem and I, MARRIED?! There's….no way," she began to smile dreamily.
Shauna Fantasy
Calem in a tuxedo happily chuckling while holding Shauna close as she is wearing a wedding dress.
"I love you more than I love Coffee Jelly, my dear," Fantasy Calem said.
Thoughts and Fantasy End
"Fine, let's just continue," Shauna said. Shauna and Lucas then clasped hands.
"Weirdos," Calem said.
"Audino," the Pokémon agreed, nodding.
Lucas turned to where Brendan was standing to see that his friend was gone, "WHAT?! Where did he go?"
"Yeah, why'd he run off," Shauna asked in confusion.
Calem sighed, "Well it's not like he would wait around if he knew people were following him."
"We have to stay on him! Calem, use your Nen Power to find him," Lucas said.
Calem bluntly spoke, "You know I can't actually do that just cause I'm in costume, right?"
Shauna then had a thought, "Let's ask the little girl." The group approached the little girl with the balloon and inquired about Brendan.
"Oh, you're friends with that really nice guy, I think he said something about going to Lisia's house; you know, the contest idol?"
"Well that's fine-oh…my…Arceus!" Lucas exclaimed.
"What is it, Lucas," Calem asked.
"They're….HAVING AN AFFAIR!" Lucas yelled.
SMACK!
"That's not what's happening," Shauna and the little girl yelled; sending Lucas into the sky.
Calem looked up as his friend was sent flying, "Hm, that was pretty cool. Anyways, if we've lost track of him; I'm gonna go get some coffee jelly."
The little girl had a mischievous smile on her face; she then cleared her throat. "I'll come with you; my treat," the girl said.
Shauna froze, "Wait, what?"
Calem turned to the girls, "Sure let's go!" he said with a little excitement in his voice.
"Have fun guys," the girl said.
Shauna began to protest, "But that wasn't me who-"
Calem grabbed her hand and the two began to run off, "Nope. No getting out of it now."
Shauna was startled as she ran with Calem, "I-you…what?" She then noticed that Calem was holding her hand; she blushed and sighed happily.
With Wally and Clemont
"So, you really think she'll like it," Wally asked Clemont as they walked towards the coliseum.
Clemont nodded while fixing his glasses, "For Lisia, it would be perfect!"
Wally smiled, "Thanks again for helping me, even if it did take a few hours, I really do owe you one."
"Anything for a friend," Clemont said as the two sat down besides each other.
Lisia walked up afterwards and sat down next to Wally; with a sad look on her face. Wally pecked her on the cheek. "Hey, you."
Lisia stayed quiet.
Wally began to show concern, "Um, are you okay? Did I do something?"
Lisia snapped out of it, "What? Ha ha! I'm fine sweetie! Totally fine!"
"She's lying," Bonnie thought. Clemont turned to see her sitting behind him.
"Where'd you come from," he asked.
By the time the rest of the gang had filled in, May had walked out with Drew behind her.
"Any idea when your friend is supposed to show up," Drew asked.
May shook her head, "Not exactly, but he seems to like to make an entrance. And hey, he's your friend to, you know."
Drew scoffed, "Please, what'd make you say something like that?"
May laughed, "You guys hung out and watched that show. You watched every episode of it, and you barely liked it!"
Drew held her close, "Ever occur that I did that for you?"
May blushed, "Aw, you're sweet." She was about to give him a kiss when suddenly something twinkled in the sky and crashed in front of them.
"Whoa!" they both cried out in shock. When the smoke cleared, there were two figures that appeared. The first appeared to be Flygon, while the second was Brendan who looked slightly different from usual. Along with the ribbons and different contacts he had earlier in the tournament, he appeared to be shirtless. On his back was a yellow eye with a black pupil and black flames coming from his black.
"Oh wow," May said with a small amount of blush on her face. Luckily nobody else noticed this.
Brendan returned Flygon and smiled. "Impressed?"
"Yeah you seemed like a real coordinator," Drew smirked.
"Oh please, I'm not one of you people," Brendan said.
"Whoa, what do you mean, 'you people'?" Drew asked; this caused Brendan to chuckle.
Brendan then pushed Drew, causing Drew to push back.
"Oh dear Arceus, they're friends now," May thought with some disgust.
The two continued to have a playful shoving match until someone made an announcement.
"And now it's time for our next battle!" Steven announced.
"WE LOVE YOU STEVEN AND ZANE," a group of girls yelled.
Zane chuckled, "Quite a packed arena today, folks: we have Kai!" The crowd cheered rather loudly.
"And then there's Tori!" The crowd continued to cheer.
"Against May!" The crowd roared louder than they did for the past too trainers combined.
"Wow, the crowd really seems to love me," May said, somewhat embarrassed.
"AND….Brendan," Zane finished. The crowd booed very loudly.
"What? Don't boo me," Brendan shouted at the audience. The crowd booed even louder than before.
"Bren…dan sucks! Bren…dan sucks! Bren…dan sucks! Bren…dan sucks!" the crowd chanted.
"Eh, I'm not surprised," Serena said. The rest of the group nodded. After that, Calem and Shauna sat by Wally.
"Where have you two been," he asked.
"Coffee Jelly," Shauna and Calem replied, Shauna with somewhat reluctance and Calem with some giddiness in his voice.
"What's with him," Bonnie asked. "What did you guys do together?"
"Wh-What? N-Nothing!" Shauna said.
"Obviously, something happened," Dawn said mischievously.
Shauna continued to be nervous, "I-I It took longer than we expected."
Flashback Start
Calem melted into his seat the second he had his first bite of coffee jelly. He had an uncharacteristically satisfied look on his face.
Shauna was still stuck in her head, "I'm not completely sure what to do here. We're almost never alone together so I don't really know what to say-"
Calem's head immediately shot up at Shauna; startling her.
"…..You're just staring at me," Calem noticed. "What's the problem?"
Shauna froze, "Well it's…I…I"
Calem continued to eat happily (at least happy by his standards).
Shauna sighed as the waiter came by, "Are you guys doing alright," the moustached-waiter asked.
"We're fine I-WHAT?" Shauna noticed the waiter a little closer. As Calem was too focused on his dessert, the waiter took off the moustache to reveal Emma.
"Hey Shauna, it's me," Emma said.
"WELL THAT MUCH IS OBVIOUS," Shauna shouted.
Emma giggled, "Have fun on your date, you two," Emma said as she walked off; putting the fake moustache back on.
Shauna's face flushed, "D-Date?"
Emma ran back over to the counter where Duncan, Jaysen, Jayden, and Mordekai were sitting.
"Why don't you buy me coffee jelly," Jaysen asked Jayden.
"Shut it," Jayden said as he finished his milkshake.
Duncan spoke, "It's so weird to see Calem this relaxed; to think he's the strongest out of those guys. Think we can take them out?"
Jayden laughed, "Please, it's not like that matters! You know that we're not allowed to take them out just yet; our full strength hasn't even been needed yet."
Jaysen sighed, "Fair enough, but we'll be ready regardless."
Calem immediately regained his composure and started to think, "Not at full strength, huh? Good! It's been a while since I've had a real challenge." As he continued to think, Calem grew a wicked, somewhat disturbing smile on his face.
Meanwhile in the corner of the restaurant, sat a boy with pink hair, green glasses, and what appeared to be antennae sticking out of his head. "This isn't good….I'm out of coffee jelly….and the whole, ominous, threat, thing. Eh, I'm sure our four main characters can handle it without me. This isn't even my anime. I'm just here for the crossover special."
The boy licked his spoon with remaining coffee jelly. "Eh, Mera's is better."
Flashback End
"We need to be prepared no matter what," Calem said to Ledian who was on his shoulder.
"Led! Ian!" it saluted.
Calem looked over at the empty seat next to him, and then looked up into the sky as a twinkle appeared. Suddenly a hot ball of fire flew towards Calem as he released Espeon. Espeon's eyes glowed blue as an aura surrounded the ball of fire; the fire disappeared and was revealed to be Lucas and he was placed on his seat.
"Thanks Espeon," Lucas said, exhausted. Espeon rubbed up against Lucas as a sign of affection.
"We need to train together," Calem said.
Lucas was stunned, "What? You never wanna train with me."
Calem responded, "I just...have a feeling.
Lucas chuckled, "If you say so."
"Ha! I knew deep down we were friends," Lucas thought.
"Hope he doesn't think we're friends now," Calem thought.
Battle Start
"Typhlosion, Flamethrower," Kai commanded. Typhlosion fired a blast of fire towards Brendan's Beedrill.
"Entertain them Beedrill, Agility," Brendan said. Beedrill immediately dashed out of the way and charged towards Typhlosion.
"Poison Jab," Brendan commanded. Beedrill began to thrust its stingers at Typhlosion who repeatedly dodged every hit.
"Watch out, Typhlosion," Kai said. "He's trying to wear us down early! He's smarter than he looks!"
Brendan smirked, "That's right…Hey!"
Tori smiled, "It's so cool that you guys have Pokémon from other regions. But we won't lose to you! Audino, use Double Slap!" Audino dashed towards Beedrill and was about to throw some jabs at Beedrill.
"Blaziken, Blaze Kick," May shouted. Blaziken's leg became encased with flames as it leaped at Audino and swung it fiercely. Audino took the hit full on and slid back towards its trainer.
As Typhlosion noticed its partner absorbing the impact, it got distracted and took a Poison Jab in the gut. Beedrill and Blaziken both moved back quickly.
"Huh. Who would've thought that we'd actually be getting along during this," May said.
Brendan chuckled, "Yeah, I'm impressed! Do you guys love us or what?" he yelled towards the crowd.
The crowd began to sing, "Hey, Hey May (Hoo, Haa) I wanna know, oooh, will you be my girl! Hey, Hey May (Hoo, Haa) I wanna know, oooh, will you be my girl!"
May laughed, "I love you guys too!" The crowd roared with approval. Brendan posed with his ribbons; the crowd booed harshly.
"Oh c'mon," Brendan yelled. May giggled at this.
"We're sorry your boyfriend's a pain," a fan yelled.
May blushed, "He's not my boyfriend."
"Thank god," the crowd said.
Brendan sighed, "Beedrill….please just use U-Turn on Audino." Beedrill nodded back; obviously annoyed by the crowd, flew forward at Audino.
"Take Down, Tori yelled. Audino blasted itself at Beedrill; the two connected head to head. Both flew back with moderate damage.
"OH MY GOSH! I'M GETTING TO FIGHT A REAL BEEDRILL! SO COOL!" Tori squealed.
"C'mon, we have to fight back, Tori! Typhlosion, Flame Wheel," Kai yelled. Typhlosion curled up into a ball, engulfed itself in flames, and rolled towards Beedrill causing a direct hit. After rolling through Beedrill; Typhlosion turned around mid-spin and hit Beedrill in the back.
"Whoa; that was a dangerous attack; hope Beedrill can recover from that," Brendan said.
"Why'd he pick me? I'm bored already with these opponents," Beedrill thought.
"Blaziken, use Sky Uppercut," May shouted. Blaziken charged towards Typhlosion and swung its right fist at Audino. Suddenly, Typhlosion caught Blaziken's fist and threw Blaziken towards Beedrill, who moved out of the way as Blaziken hit the ground.
"You could've at least tried to help, Brendan," someone yelled.
"Boo! Hiss! Ick! Slur! Sneer," another person yelled.
"You're not supposed to yell those things; you're supposed to do them! You stupid idiot!" Brendan yelled.
May refocused, "Blaziken, Bulk Up." Blaziken focused its energy and its muscle mass increased. "Now use Blaze Kick." Blaziken ran at Audino and swung its flaming leg at Audino who simply remained still.
"Hyper Voice," Tori said. Audino opened its mouth as its ears straightened and let loose a powerful barrage of shockwaves that Blaziken broke through with a lounging kick as it connected with Audino's face. Blaziken was panting heavily.
"It's a good thing Blaziken powered up; otherwise that could have been really bad," May said.
"Should we throw out another combo," Brendan asked extending his arms behind his back.
May nodded back, "Yeah let's do it!"
Brendan smirked, thrusted his arms forward, and gave Beedrill a command, "Beedrill, Double Team." Beedrill flashed and then almost immediately, multiple copies of itself appeared around the arena.
"What the heck are you planning," Kai asked.
"Let's be ready, no matter what," Tori nodded.
The multiples of Beedrill began to swarm around the Audino and Typhlosion. They repeatedly flew back and forth around the two; every so often a few copies would attempt to jab their stingers at the Pokémon. Audino and Typhlosion would continuously dodge, but began to grow tired after a while.
"Now Blaziken, Brave Bird," May yelled. Blaziken leaped up above the Beedrill copies; high into the air. It then switched its momentum and flew towards the Audino and Typhlosion as it extended its limbs.
Blaziken's body flashed with bright blue flames as it charged towards the two Pokémon; the flames continued to grow as the Beedrill copies became enveloped into the flames and disappeared. Finally, Blaziken crashed into the two opposing Pokémon.
"WHOA, awesome work May and Blaziken," Brendan said in shock. May gave Brendan a cute smile.
After a few moments, Blaziken backflipped towards May and Brendan, while Beedrill flew back; with some damage to its right wing.
"Beedrill, are you okay," Brendan asked with concern.
"Sorry Brendan," May said. "We can still barely control that move."
"It's fine," Brendan responded. "We can still-"
"You know, you may not be as bad as we thought," Kai said.
Brendan turned, "What?!" The smoke cleared and Audino and Typhlosion were still standing with many scratches on their bodies.
"How? How are you guys still standing," May asked.
Tori smiled, "I had Audino use Wish while Beedrill jabbed at us. Blaziken's attack really had us worried though….speaking of which, shouldn't Brave Bird be….."
Suddenly Blaziken fell to one knee; clutching it in pain.
"Blaziken, are you okay," May asked. Blaziken was barely able to stand, but somehow found a way to do so.
"Typhlosion, Flame Wheel combo," Kai stated. Typhlosion rolled towards Blaziken as flames and what appeared to be rocks from the battlefield, and hit Blaziken in the chest; afterwards Typhlosion hit Blaziken in the back and repeatedly smashed into a weakened Blaziken.
"Combo?" May asked.
Tori nodded, "Yeah, Typhlosion combines Flame Wheel with Rollout for an effective combo."
"Seems like that's overpowered," Brendan said.
"Maybe," Kai said as he pet his Espeon on his shoulder. "But it sure took some time to master."
Brendan noticed his Mega Ring and began to contemplate, "No…I don't know why, but I feel like I shouldn't use Mega Evolution during the tournament…maybe the narrator will explain it."
…Actually, no. I won't.
"Brendan," May said. Brendan looked at his partner. "I'm gonna Mega Evolve Blaziken."
"No," Brendan responded.
"Wha," May said.
Brendan continued, "I just don't know if using Mega Evolution is a good idea right now. I can't explain why, and I know it makes no sense but-"
"You want to stop me, still," May cut him off.
Brendan continued, "Yeah. Do you trust me?"
"No," May said.
"Do you trust me," Brendan repeated.
"No," May said even more firmly.
"Eh, not exactly what I wanted to hear but not surprising," Brendan said. "Just please, listen this one time! If we win, I'll owe you ANYTHING!"
May immediately turned her head, "Anything? You got it! Blaziken, use Blaze Kick!" Blaziken charged at Audino and swung its foot at Audino, who slid back after receiving the hit.
"Beedrill, use Agility and then Poison Jab on Typhlosion," Brendan said. Beedrill dashed quickly and headed towards Typhlosion who repeatedly took the hits.
"Typhlosion, Flamethrower," Kai said. Typhlosion instantly blasted Beedrill with flames; Beedrill was sent back to the other side; sliding on its stomach. It attempted to fly but remained on the ground; barely conscious.
"This isn't good," Brendan noted. He then got an idea. "May, I-"
"I can trust you this time," May said nodding. Blaziken nodded at Beedrill.
Brendan smirked, "Beedrill…Brutal Swing!" The audience gasped. Brendan began rotating his arms in a circular motion (akin to Pegasus Seiya).
"Brutal Swing?! I've never heard of that move, but I feel like it has something to do with throwing an opponent and-"
Brendan posed with his left arm above his right arm, "AND THROW BLAZIKEN!" he shouted.
"WHAT?!" May yelled. Blaziken was dumbfounded at what the white-hatted trainer said.
Beedrill immediately grabbed Blaziken, who attempted to talk the poison bee out of what it was doing. Beedrill ignored the plea and began to swing Blaziken around. The rotation increased in speed with each revolution and after about 10 spins-
"Typhlosion, Flame Wheel Combo," Kai stated.
"Audino, Take Down," Tori commanded. Typhlosion covered itself in pieces of rocks and then in flames as it rolled towards the spinning Pokémon. Audino blasted itself towards the duo as well.
Beedrill finally let go of Blaziken; Blaziken was sent flying towards the two charging Pokémon. Blaziken's speed increased as it continued to travel.
"What's your problem, you idiot," May yelled as she hit Brendan in the back of the head.
Brendan reacted, "OW! Just listen and-"
"Stop screwing around you jerk! What are you trying to pull?" the crowd yelled.
"Wait," May said in realization. "Blaziken, Brave Bird!" Blaziken covered itself in blue flames once again and continued its pursuit. Each of the forces collided and caused a massive explosion that shook the battlefield; along with the coliseum.
"That was an intense attack," Shauna said.
"Yeah, it was so much to handle," Serena said.
The smoke that filled the arena was beginning to die down. When it finally cleared, Blaziken was on the ground unconscious; along with Audino and Typhlosion. Beedrill barely stood; scratches all over its body from the attacks.
The referee made the call, "Typhlosion, Audino, and Blaziken are unable to battle! Beedrill is the winner! So the victory goes to Brendan and May; BAMF!"
The crowd applauded the finish of the battle and cheered for both teams.
"And with that incredible show of teamwork, "The Brendan and May Factor advance to the Semi-Finals," Steven said.
Zane nodded as he announced, "They may have some issues between them; but they are incredible when it comes to thinking on the fly! I feel sorry for whoever faces them in the next round!"
May hugged Blaziken, "Thanks so much, Blaziken! You're awesome!"
"Blaze," it nodded as it hugged her back.
Brendan patted Beedrill on the back, "I know you probably had a million better things to do, but I appreciate you helping us regardless, Beedrill." Beedrill simply turned its head away from Brendan before sticking its stinger out and bumping Brendan's fist. It then jabbed him with the other stinger.
"Oh, nice," Brendan said as he collapsed. Beedrill then proceeded to grab Brendan and drag him off while laughing ominously.
May giggled before bowing to the two opposing trainers and the crowd before following Brendan.
Kai smiled, "…Just like we planned. Too easy!"
Tori nodded, "Too bad, too! I really like these guys!"
In the Crowd
"Well that was certainly dramatic," Clemont stated.
"Yeah, but still tons of fun! Brendan and May are so strong," Bonnie said.
Calem remained unfazed by the victory, "Are you ready to train, Lucas?"
Lucas had a bright smile, "Yeah, man! Since we pop-"
"Don't you dare say it," Calem said cutting her off. As he got up, he turned to face Shauna. He placed her hand on the top of her head.
"Wha?!" she responded.
Calem remained still, "…Thanks for today…I owe you one…" Calem and Lucas walked off, while the rest of the group remained in shock.
Shauna remained frozen on the outside….on the inside:
"WOO! HE SAID 'THANKS'! HE HAD FUN!" she squealed.
Wally turned to Lisia, "So should we go too?"
Lisia snapped, "Why do you have to be so clingy?"
Everyone turned to Lisia, "Huh?"
Wally was the most shocked, "I was just a-asking cause-"
Lisia covered her mouth; there were tears in her eyes. "I…I'm sorry…I have to go…" Lisia ran out of the arena covering her face.
"Li-Lisia," Wally said sadly.
A Few Hours Later
"That was a pretty risky move you pulled back there," May said to Brendan.
Brendan shrugged as he rubbed his hurt stomach; now back to being in his normal gear. "Well we won regardless, so I think it helped."
May frowned, "You still should've let me know what you were planning!"
Brendan sighed, "Fine. I'll let you know next time!"
May shook her head before a thought entered her mind, "By the way, what's with the theatrics? The ribbons? The facepaint? What's up?"
Brendan paused for a moment and spoke up, "When I was a kid, my mom would always tell me a story about this demon. He was a Demon King. Everyone who knew him loathed him. But he never lashed out as a monster until he was treated like one. For the most part, he was a caring being. My mom said the story showed how to give everyone a chance; to never judge someone before you truly know them. I always told her that it was my favorite story…in a way I guess the Demon King…is kind of a guardian…I know, it sounds lame."
May shook her head again, "No way. It sounds like you really stuck with this story. I mean you always tell me you didn't get along with your mom and dad, but you remember that part of being a kid. It's actually kind of sweet."
Brendan was surprised but he turned his head, "Yeah, well…that was one good thing about them…Anyways, we should get back to the group."
May nodded, "Yeah, we-"
May was quickly cut off by Brendan hugging her tightly. She gasped instantly as she began to blush.
"Th-Thanks for listening…'kay," Brendan said with some reluctance. May was surprised by this; she never expects a thank you from Brendan. She smiled and hugged him back.
"Anytime," she said giggling afterwards. They held each other for a little longer before pulling away. "I'm just glad you weren't wearing of that paint on your chest when we hugged; my shirt would've been ruined."
Brendan smirked, "Yeah, plus it would've drawn even more attention to your huge chest!"
SMACK!
Brendan was sent flying into the air at a speed that would probably break the sound barrier.
"CAN'T YOU TAKE A JOKE," he yelled.
"YOU HAD TO RUIN A PERFECTLY GOOD MOMENT, DIDN'T YOU," she yelled as he twinkled out of sight.
A/N: Finally DONE! I'm so sorry that this took longer than it should've guys. I started working on another story, (check it out if you can) but it's done now and I'm back to this! My questions this week are: What do you guys think of the Sun and Moon games? I LOVE THEM! One of the most interesting Pokémon games in ages! Also, do you guys have faith in the Sun and Moon anime? I know that I try to be optimistic…but damn for this new season…they're making it hard.
Lucas: #PTGG!
Everyone Else: Shut up!
Also, to show my gratitude to everyone, for being so patient, here's a sneak peak at the crossover special coming up after the tournament; enjoy!
A Few Weeks After the Tournament
Wally, Calem, and Lucas are sitting at a restaurant across from the before mentioned pink-haired boy, a blonde boy in swim gear, and a silver-permed man in a Yakuta.
Calem: So why do you need our help exactly?
Pink haired boy (Saiki): Well I could do it alone, but this is your special; not mine. To be honest, I'd rather not be involved with any of you. What a pain…
Swimmer (Nagisa): Oh come on; Saiki! It could be fun helping each other out! Let's….GOU help these guys!
Pink haired boy (Saiki): That joke disgusts me!
Silver Perm (Gintoki): How much does it pay?
Lucas: Pay? You're asking us for help! Technically, we owe you nothing!
Silver Perm (Gintoki): Then what's the point?!
Lucas: I DON'T KNOW! YOU NEED OUR HELP!
Wally: It's times like this we need Brendan.
Meanwhile
Blonde Girl: You're the rudest person I've ever met!
Brendan: Well forgive me, Ms. Lillie; if that even is your real name. But frankly, you're opinion's irrelevant!
Lillie: (Growls) Why Pokémon would flock to you, I will never understand! You're rude, insensitive…strong headed….brash (inches closer to Brendan)
Brendan: What are you doing?
Lillie: (Grabs Brendan and pulls him in for a kiss)
