Chapter 8

Here it is the beginning of the second arc of my Pokémon DxD story. Hoenn. Issei will be receiving one of the starter Pokémon. Also Norman and Issei will be having a mock battle. Max will still be an annoying brat like he was in the anime. May will not be on her journey yet and the mom will still be here. And before anyone asks, May is not in the harem.

1. She's annoying.

2. Her contests were time wasting and she lost against more skilled trainers.

3. Whined and complained instead of training.

With that on with the show.


On The Boat to Hoenn

Issei was in a cabin with his girls and studied on his future opponent. The Rustboro city gym is nothing to laugh about; she may be a teacher but that doesn't mean she'll pull any punches. The gym leader uses rock types so he can use Ivysaur, Lucario, Metacross, or Evee.

He is hoping to catch some Hoenn Pokémon to add to his team, specifically a Zangoose and Seviper. Issei read about their rivalry and hatred towards each other, he thought he could help the two get along and fight together rather than against each other. It wouldn't be easy but Issei loves a challenge before him and what better way than pacifying a bitter rivalry. His thoughts were interrupted by a pair of arms wrapping around his neck and a head laying on top of his head. "Mmmm~ Issei come back to bed. I need my warm pillow.~" Kaitin whined as she gently tried to get him away from the computer. Issei laughs quietly before turning off the computer and carrying the sleepy girl back to bed.

He puts her back in bed then crawls in and wrapped his arms around her. She snuggles close to him and hugs him gently and lightly snores away. Issei saw the moon light being out the outer beauty in the Sleeping Beauty before him. He loves this warmth from her and all the other girls, they made a plan that each day a different girl can be with Issei in his room. That way each of them get time for Issei. He liked how his girls were cooperating unlike the ORC they always fought and never tried to compromise their relationship but that's on them. Issei closed his eyes and drifted off to dreamland. Kaitlin smiles at the happy dreams she gets from her lover.


Petalburg Port

The ship neared the port and eventually, everyone got off the ship. Anabel and Joy were looking a little green and went to the bathroom with Kaitlin and Sabrina for help. Leaving Erika alone with Issei at the rest area, she asked "So what's the plan. Go straight to Rustboro city or stay in the forest for a while and train?" Issei spoke "Best we get through Petalburg first and then train in the forest. Personally, I would like to do a mock battle against the Petalburg gym leader. I heard you can only battle him if you were to have four badges. I did some research and saw how he uses the entire Slakoth evolution line and is very good at battling. No wonder other trainers have trouble facing this man." Erika was suprised "Wait, others have fought Norman?!" Issei nodded "Yes but they were quickly defeated and not only that but the man has a son who mocks those who lose saying that they shouldn't even be trainers. Despicable if you ask me, the child isn't even in a journey yet and he has absolutely so skills but an oversized ego. If their one thing I hate that's cocky brats who need a spanking." Erika nodded in agreement.

The girls came out and both Anabel and Joy looked fresh as a daisy. Issei smiles and Erika just says "You twin need a mint and a good brushing. Come with me!" Both of them were dragged by Erika back to the bathroom and in Erikas hands were toothbrushes and toothpaste. Sabrina and Kaitlin laughed at the sight while Issei prays for the girls safety. Sabrina and Kaitlin looked back at Issei and looked at his aura. 'It's much calmer and warm than it was last time. He really does love us and enjoys our company.' Kaitlin loved his warmth from both his body and aura, it made her feel warm inside of her. Erika and co. came out looking fresh while Anabel and Joy looked a bit tired from whatever Erika did to them. After discussing what they were going to do next, the made their way to Petalburg, they just had to cross the forest.


Petalburg Forest

Issei and his group were going through the forest and saw many Pokémon from Zigzagoon and Wrumple to Tailow and Wingulls from port. They found a clearing where they decided to take a small break until they heard a scream coming from inside the forest. Issei rushes ahead and used his dragon ears to locate the scream and found a woman with long brown hair wearing a professors uniform and had a brown handbag on the ground with three Pokeballs in them.

The woman tried to get away from the two Pokémon fighting to the death. A Zangoose was fighting a Seviper with a scar over its right eye as it glared at the mongoose before lashing it tail and striking it with Poison Tail. Zangoose looked worn out and the serpent was approaching it slowly and cautious of the other until a crimson fist met the snake's head and sent it to a tree.

The woman and the Zangoose looked and saw a man with a crimson gauntlet out in a punching motion. The man looked at the woman and asked "You alright?" The woman couldn't trust her words and just nodded. The man smiles and pulls out a Full Restore and says "It's medicine. Give it to that Zangoose, he needs it." He walked to the tree and saw the Seviper come out and glare at the new opponent before shaking from fear 'What's this power! My body is quivering in fear but he's just a man so why do I feel the need to bow for forgiveness!' The man looked at the serpent pulls out...a Full Restore and say "You need to get those wounds treated so why don't you let me heal you." This suprised the human and Pokémon before the serpent decided to comply and let the human heal him while keeping a fair distance away from the other.

The two humans healed them and the woman asked "Who are you? And how did you do that?" She was very interested in the man before her and said man looked and said "Names Issei. Issei Hyoudou. And you are?" The woman introduced herself to her hero "My names Daisy. Daisy Oak, I'm a future Pokémon Doctor." Issei liked this and asked "What're you doing out here?" Daisy sighed and said "I wanted to do research on the Hoenn Pokemon but stumbled upon these two fighting and I'm not good in battles so I panicked and screamed hoping someone would find me and the rest is history." The Pokémon and Issei were suprised and heard the bushes rustle and out came his girls who were suprised to see two rivals content with each other's presence and seeing their interest with an unknown woman. Joy and Anabel saw the injured Pokémon and quickly went to help Zangoose while Erika went to Seviper and Sabrina and Kaitlin talked to Daisy.

The two were healed and charged at each other until an ball of green light shot at the dead center between them and made a small crater. The two were suprised and received a punch to their heads, by Issei himself. The two glared at him but stopped as Issei made their glares look like a child. His eyes were green and spoke "We took our precious time to heal you both and you then decide to fight each other to the death again. ARE YOU STUPID!!" Both Pokémon were shaking in fear of the Dragon before them and the girls were feeling differently. Anabel, Kaitlin, and Joy were happy that the fight stopped but felt turned on by the display of power. Sabrina, Erika, and, suprisingly, Daisy rubbed their legs together and liked what she saw. Images of being under Issei appeared in her mind which made her drool a bit before shaking the impure thoughts out of her head. Fact about Daisy, for being a kind and strong girl; she was very submissive in the bed and wanted to be pinned down and well leave it to your imagination.

Issei looks at them and says in his normal voice "Now, I have a proposal for both of you. You two fight me and if in win both of you will join my team and put your rivalry aside. Deal?" The two looked at each other and then to Issei before nodding yes. They put distance between them and charged at Issei. Zangoose used Quick Attack and slammed into Issei but Issei caught Zangoose and used him as a bat to hit Seviper, who was about to strike with Crunch. The two were skidding in the ground until a tree stopped them. Issei unleashed his Balance Breaker and it looked slim like a fighter and said "Boost" Boost! He charges and readies Focus Punch. And strikes Zangoose in the face. Seviper launches with Poison Fang but Issei uses Agility to dodge and then Power-Up Punch on Seviper sending him into the air. Issei jumped and grabbed the serpent and spun in the air and said "Seismic Tosss!" The serpent shot like a missile to the ground and made a small smoke cloud. It cleared and Seviper was beaten. He grabbed a Luxury Ball and tossed it at Seviper.

It wiggled once then stopped signaling its capture before Zangoose came out of the bushes and saw the serpent being captured and was about to run until Issei appears in front of the mongoose and used Mean Look frightening and preventing it from getting away. Issei struck with a Mega Punch and charged an Aura Sphere but instead of blue like normal, it was green and red. Zangoose steadied itself on the ground and saw the Aura Sphere intended for him. He was suprised before conceding defeat and waited for the sphere to hit him but only felt a hand on its head and ruffles its hair.

It looks suprised and noticed Issei was rubbing it's head and smiled "You got the fight out of your system now? You still interested in joining the team?" Zangoose nodded and grabbed one of the balls and tried to tap the button but it's claws were in the way. Seeing this issue, Issei swipes the ball and just tapped Zangoose on the head before it disappeared into the ball. It gave no resistance as it dinged immediately. Issei said "I just caught a Seviper and a Zangoose." He walks to his friends and they were congratulating him until a hand tapped his shoulder.

He turned to see Daisy with a blush and a Pokeball in her hand. "Thank you for saving me. I wanted to give you a Pokémon as a token of my thanks. It's one of the starter Pokémon. And I would like to make a request. Please let me join you and your friends! I think I can learn a lot more about Pokémon from following you and I can provide you with information!" She bows her head and begs until a hand lifts her head and Issei brushes a stand of stray hair out of the way. He stares into her eyes and smiles "I would be honored to have you join us. You girls alright with this?" The girls looked at each other and nodded. Daisy was happy to be with the new group, she remembered something her grandfather told her before leaving in her journey. 'It's always nice to have friends with you so you can learn and grow. I know you'll be a great doctor but there more to Pokemon than textbooks and research. I'm sure you'll find someone to show you.' She looked at the man before her and mentally said 'He's right. I found new friends and a kind man.'

The group just got bigger and three new members for the team. Rivals to the death and a child. Onward to Petalburg!


A few days later

Petalburg City. The team decided to stay in the forest for a while and do some training with their Pokémon. Issei learned a new Balance Breaker form and started to care for the little Mudkip he received from Daisy. Zangoose and Seviper had a tough time but thanks to Issei's perseverance, and showing some TLC, they could fight together but still have their rivalry but not to the death.

Sabrina, Kaitlin, and Anabel were practicing their physic powers along with their Pokémon while Erika and Daisy chatted like high school girls about anything. Erika taught Daisy about herbs and medicine that could be found in nature and Daisy taught her about certain areas where they could find certain Pokémon. Erika captured a Shroomish for the spores it produces. Daisy didn't have any Pokémon on her besides the Torchic and Treeko on her. Daisy wasn't sure if she was ready for battling Pokémon but no one pushed her to make a decision.

Issei and Co. walked to the Pokémon Center and waited for the Nurse to let them know when their Pokémon were healed up. Issei told the girls to do as they please, he was going to look at the map. Daisy joined him while the others left to either freshen up, stock on supplies, or get some food. Issei looked at the map and saw that Rustboro city was close and they could easily take a train or fly there if they wanted to. Daisy, Erika, and Joy were told about his power and his past. Even then they still accepted him and didn't treat him differently. They treated him as a man. Not a king or a god. Issei liked not having to be someone he wasn't like back in his home. To some he was a threat, a hero, a man but he was just an individual with a pure heart and boundless courage to push through to the end.

The Nurse let them know of their Pokémon and as everyone got their Pokémon back and thanked the nurse. A girl cries as she runs with a Growlithe in her hands and asked the Nurse to heal her Pokémon. The nurse took the little one immediately. The girl was crying and Issei couldn't bear to see her cry so he brought her to a couch and told Sabrina to get some ice cream. Vanilla with Chocolate syrup, quickly. Sabrina left and the others watched as Issei just hugged her and rubbed her back in a soothing manner until the girl stopped crying and sniffled a bit. Anabel offered a tissue and Issei gave it to her and the girl blew her nose. Tossing it away, he then wiped her tears and asked "Who's bullying you?" The girl was shocked.

"How did you know?"

"When I was a kid, I was bullied too so I know what that's like. Now who's bullying you?" The girl crossed her arms and had an angry look on her face. "His names Max and he's a jerk to me and my big sister Yui. He thinks he's sooo awesome just because his dads a gym leader and how he has a Treeko. He challenged me to a battle and cheated by using one of his dads Pokémon instead of his own. My sister is getting ready for her journey and wanted me to be safe so she's always protecting me with her Meowth. She's warm and sweet to Pokémon and to others all around her but she hates bullies so she protects me when I'm getting bullied." Sabrina came back and placed the ice cream in front of her.

Ui, the girls name, saw the ice cream and looked at Issei then nodded for her to go ahead. She smiled and dug into the ice cream. Issei saw a girl with brown bob haired style walk to the Pokémon center with a Meowth in tow. She came in and saw her sister. "Uiiii!" She ran and hugged her with so much love that Ui hugged back and smiled. "Hey sis, this nice man and his girlfriends were helping me feel better." Issei and his group blushed at the title. Yui looked at Issei and bows "Thank you for looking after my sister." She smiles and takes Ui back home with her.

Daisy looked at Ui and said "Hey Ui, there's somone I think you'll love." She pulls out a Pokeball and a Torchic comes out. It chirps and nuzzles with Ui's leg, Ui loves the bird and picks it up. Daisy picked up the ball and gave it to Ui. "Show that bully your strong." Ui's eyes grow big and kissed Daisy on the cheek and says "Thank you! I promise to take good care of him." Yui is happy for her sister but sadly they have to go back home. She thanked them for looking after her and left with Ui. Daisy smiled as the sisters left and thought 'Was I a good sister to my brother?' Issei saw the look and asked if she was okay, Daisy smiled and nodded with a tear coming out her left eye. Issei wipes it and hugs her. "Your a good person. Don't let anyone else say otherwise." Daisy hugs him back and said "Thank you."


Petalburg Gym

Issei stood outside the gym and beside him was Daisy and Sabrina. The others were back at the Pokémon Center, training or gathering supplies before moving out. He pushed opened the doors and saw a kid with glasses, green shirt and gray shorts with a happy look on his face. The gym leader, Norman has a stoic look on his face as he returns his Slakoth and says "Good fight but not good enough. Train harder and one day you will defeat me." The trainer nodded and quickly ran out as fast as he could and didn't even notice Issei or the others. The kid had a smug grin that said 'No one can win. They suck as trainers.'

Issei saw a young Riser in him and decided to knock the kid down a few pegs. He approached Norman and said "My name is Issei Hyoudou. I challenge you to a gym battle." Norman looked at the kid and was about to say no until he saw someone in the stands observing him and nodded. Norman swallows his spit and says "Very well." Max just looked at him and sneered "Hope your ready to lose, loser! Bleh!" He blew a raspberry at him and Issei kept a calm face but his eyebrow was twitching like crazy at the annoying brat.

The girls glare at Max and the hidden figure stifles a laugh at the display. Norman and Issei stood on the gym floor. "The Battle between Issei Hyoudou and Norman Maple will now begin. Each side may only use two Pokémon and when both Pokémon are unable to battle the battle is finished. Ready? Begin!" Issei summoned "Shout your names Zangoose, Seviper." Both of them were separated but were ready to fight together for their trainer. They looked at Issei and he nodded at them, making them both adopt dark look on their faces.

Norman didn't flinch and summoned "Let's go Slaking, Vigoroth." The two sloth warriors stood and were ready to fight, Norman made their first move "Vigoroth Slash and Slaking use Mega Punch!" They ran with Vigoroth ready to slash Seviper and Slaking ready to punch Zangoose. "Zangoose, Agility. Seviper, use Haze." Seviper releases a thick Haze in front of them and the arena was covered in a thick smoke. The sloth monsters were stuck and glanced around wondering where the opponents were. Until Slaking was hit by a Poison Tail to the face. Zangoose zoomed and used Extreme Speed to hit Vigoroth. The two were sent flying back and Norman was worried so he ordered "Slaking clap your hand a with Mega Punch and clear the arena." Slaking did so but Issei expected this so he yelled "Zangoose, Seviper Operation Divide and Conquer!"

The smoke cleared and a hole was in the middle of the arena. Slaking and Vigoroth were looking for their opponents but Zangoose came out and hit Vigoroth with Slash and Seviper leaped and used Poison Fang on Vigoroth. Vigoroth couldn't handle the tag team and fainted from the pain. The referee saw this and said "Vigoroth is unable to battle." Norman quickly returned Vigoroth and Max was shocked because almost no one beat Vigoroth. 'Tch. Beginners luck.' Sabrina was amazed at the teamwork shown between the two and Daisy was taking notes on their behavior and battle strategy.

Zangoose and Seviper looked up at Slaking and he growled back. "Slaking, use Retaliate!" Issei's eyes widened as he heard this "Dodge it quick." Seviper was about to get hit but suprisingly, Zangoose came in between them and took the hit instead. Seviper was shocked that his rival saved him from the attack. Zangoose smirked and fainted as a result.

Max smiled as he saw this 'That serpents done for.' Issei returned Zangoose and looked at Seviper. "Seviper. Don't let his sacrifice mean nothing." Seviper nodded and glared at his opponent and used Agility to get in close and he wrapped around Slakings left arm. Slaking tried to grab Seviper with his right hand but Seviper bit the left shoulder with Poison Fang twice and Slaking started to show signs of being poisoned. Issei saw this and decided to end this now. "This is where we win the battle. Seviper, attack with Venoshock!" Seviper released a stream of purple fluid and hit Slaking right in the face. Slaking wobbled a bit before falling and Seviper slithering back to Issei.

The ref shouted "Slaking is unable to battle. The winner is Issei Hyoudou." Max was so suprised that he almost cried. "No way! There's absolutely no way Dad would have lost to some newbie! You cheated, cheater!" A voice stopped him. "No gym leader is unbeatable. Gym leaders are meant to challenge opponents and their Pokémon to push them past their limits. You don't understand that yet, your still a child. He didn't cheat, he trained hard to get those two Pokémon to get along. It's no easy feat for a Seviper to share a room with a Zangoose." Issei asked "Who are you?" The man laughs and says "Forgive the late introduction. My names Steven, the champion of the Hoenn region. I heard of you from Lance and wanted to see it myself. Thank you for that wonderful battle." Issei replies "Your Welcome. But to be honest, this isn't actually my first gym I'm supposed to battle." Steven smiles "I know so I made a call and showed the battle to the President and he said he could make an exception, just this once." Norman came up and brought out a badge. "Congratulations on earning the Normal Badge." Issei thanked them and headed to the Center to heal his Pokémon until Steven stopped him. "Do you have any Mega Evolution Stones? If you don't I know of a contest where their giving out every Mega Stone in a grand prize. Interested?" Issei thought about it and nodded "Yeah, I'm in. So where is it going to take place?" Steven smirked and said "Rustboro City."


End

So what do you think. Let me know of any other Hoenn females. My ideas are Flannery, Roxanne, and Winona. Also future ideas for Pokémon: Ditto, Ariados, Hitmontop, Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, Machamp, and Duraladon.
