Krom and Saria walked into the home of Glenda, which was also her work place. Krom smiled at the Blissey Halfling, who seemed to have an air of happiness about her. Even Vraccas seemed happy, smiling as they walked by. They walked into the room where Simba and Sable were, smiling. Sable slept peacefully, her head coated in sweat. Simba nodded his head to them, holding a small bundle. The little Shinx cub had his father's skin, with light purple fur. The purple was almost black, and it was very dark.
Three small cribs held three more bundles. One boy had striped fur, golden with purple stripes. One girl opened her golden eyes, cooing softly before falling to sleep. Another girl had purple fur, fuzzier than a Sableye be. Her round purple ears twitched as she slept. Simba smiled. "How'd your battle go?" He asked quietly. Krom smiled. "I won with no problem. Rocky evolved, and Nibbles learned Dragon Rush." He said. Simba nodded. Saria cooed. "They're so cute! What're their names?" She asked. Simba smiled.
"The purple Shinx cub I'm holding is Scar. His big brother, the hybrid with stripes, is Sher-Khan. The Sableye girl with the golden eyes is Sanatika, and the hybrid girl is Sarabi. Sable's litter was easier than I expected." He said, smiling down at the bundle in his arms. Krom smiled. He was happy to see everyone in such a good mood. Even Rex's grumpy attitude took a day off. Krom and Saria locked eyes, smiling.
Granitwarf showed his Pokemon to Kyouhei, who tilted his head. The Pokemon looked nearly the same. Yes, the chunks from his body that were missing were repaired, but his hand was still missing. Kyouhei tilted his head further, not understanding. Granitwarf pulled a contraption of some sort from his beard, placing it on the Pokemon's stump. It had six metal Pokeballs on it, and Granitwarf laughed. The first ball opened, a flash of light revealing a metal fist with spikes. The fist vanished back into the ball, and the second one revealed a trident blade.
This repeated with the other four, a third ball revealing three morning stars on chains, a fourth revealing a shield. A fifth revealed a lightning bolt shaped blade, and the final one revealed the proper arm. Kyouhei giggled, clapping happily. He grabbed the Pokemon by it's arm, dragging him to Krom.
Krom smiled, looking out at Simba's Pokemon. He wanted to have a ranch someday, with all of his Pokemon wandering about. He heard a call, and turned to see Kyouhei, running toward him smiling. Krom waved, noticing the Regirock he dragged along. Kyouhei came up to him, displaying Granitwarf's work. Kyouhei giggled happily. "Do you like it?" He asked. Krom smiled. "Of course. It looks great. Are you going to keep him?" He asked. Kyouhei blinked, and then nodded. "Mhmm. I'm going to keep him and call him Handy." He said. Krom chuckled at the name, congratulating Kyouhei on his second Pokemon.
Saria and the woman of the village, including a rambunctious Sable, planned a big celebration. They were going to celebrate Saria's litter, and Krom's marriage to Saria. Foods were being brought out, the café working overtime. Tables were set about a huge courtyard. Musical Halflings sung, danced and played music throughout the court, bringing a sense of peace about the place. Granitwarf had drank six barrels, throwing a seventh away. He hiccupped, groggily stumbling about. The Bastiodon grunted, and Twiggy sighed. The dwarf was drunk.
All was ready, and the festivities were about to begin with a speech from mayor Bishop, when yelling caught their attention. Cerulean and Virbank City Gym Leaders Misty and Homika walked into the village, arguing. Krom frowned, glaring across the village. Misty steamed, yelling into the crowd.
"I, Misty Kasumi of Cerulean City, have been ordered by my betters to challenge Krom Hitoawa to a Pokemon battle." She declared proudly. Krom scanned the leader up and down. She was thin, having no curves to her at all. Her orange hair was tied into a ponytail on the side of her head, and she oozed arrogance. Simba hissed, glaring at Misty. "Long time no see Kasumi. I didn't invite you to my celebration." he said. She narrowed her eyes, and then scoffed. "Oh. You're the scientist's abomination. I could care less what you have to say. I'm here to defeat Krom." she said. Krom walked forward, angered.
"Who are you to challenge me? A gym Leader? Remember what happened to Cheren?" He asked. She scoffed. "Enough talk. I'm so far above that kid, it's not funny." she said. Krom growled, and she flung a Pokeball. A Starmie stood proud, calling out. Krom reached for a Pokeball when Granitwarf stumbled onto the field, dropping his hammer. The dwarf was drunk, and Misty laughed. "This is pathetic. Starmie, Hydro Pump." she commanded.
The starfish shot a massive torrent of water at the dwarf. The water struck head on, and drenched the dwarf. When the water faded, the dwarf was scrubbing shampoo into his hair and beard, the bubbles clouding his face. Misty gaped, commanding for another Hydro Pump. Again, the dwarf was drenched in water. When the water faded this time, the dwarf was combing conditioner through his hair, which was shining with fresh texture. She gaped again, calling for Hydro Pump a third team. Homika laughed at the leader. When the water drenched the dwarf, she knew this was the one.
The one that make her more shocked than the others. When she was finished, the dwarf had his beard wrapped around himself like a towel, scrubbing under his arms with soap. Homika fell to the ground, laughing loudly. She called for Ice Beam, hoping to freeze the dwarf. The dwarf froze in place. Misty smiled, and then heard tinging noises. The dwarf tapped at the ice, pushing it open like a door. She gaped. She called for Hydro Pump, teeth grit.
When the water dripped from the dwarf's body, he scrubbed his teeth, somehow obtaining a toothbrush. Homika rolled about laughing, the leader's misery hilarious. The dwarf slammed his foot to the ground, a large chunk of rock rising. He stepped behind, throwing the towel over it. Homika couldn't believe it; the dwarf was working on his hygiene. The dwarf stepped from the rock, dressed in new fur, and the chunk of rock broke in two, falling to the ground.
He stretched his muscles, picking up his hammer. He burst across the field, ramming the hammer into Starmie's gem. The Pokemon cried out weakly, before falling dead to the ground. A dozen tattooed Pawniard exploded from nowhere, grabbing the carcass and dragging it off. She screamed, unleashing her Golduck. The duck was insane, Krom could tell from the look in his eye. Granitwarf watched the duck open it's bill, and rammed his hand down the duck's throat. He pulled out it's vocal chords, the Pokemon falling dead to the ground
The Pawniard raced across the field, grabbing Golduck's carcass and leaving. She was in mortification, sending out her Jellicent. The blue octopus cooed, Granitwarf yawning. Misty called for Shadow Ball, the Pokemon launching the ball. Granitwarf jumped over, striking the pokemon in the face with his hammer, killing it. Again, the Pawniard carried the carcass off, disappearing. She cried loudly, loosing a Quagsire. Granitwarf raised a brow at the unusual faced Pokemon, making a gagging motion. Misty commanded for Mud Shot, but the dwarf moved to fast. He slammed his hand though the back of the Pokemon's had, turning it into a puppet. The drunken dwarf laughed, yelling as he opened as closed the Pokemon's jaws.
The Pawniard claimed the Pokemon's carcass, and she was in shock. She screamed, sending out her Togekiss, who smiled. Granitwarf made fluttering motions with his hands, mocking the Pokemon. Misty called for Air Slash, the Pokemon gracefully launching the attack. The drunken dwarf threw his hammer in the wrong direction, striking Rex in the chest. He heard the Halfling yell, a pitiful call of "MY LEG!" He called to the Halfling, laughing as he jumped left. He saw the attack hit the ground where he was, laughing as he spun.
He pointed at the Togekiss, thumb up and index finger out, similar to a gun. He launched Shock Waves at the avian Pokemon, who couldn't avoid them. Krom laughed as the Pokemon was shocked to death, the dwarf's 'pew pew' noises increasing the comedy.
The Pokemon fell, shocked to death. Homika found the display immensely amusing, tears flowing from her eyes. Misty screamed through grief-stricken tears, throwing out her last Pokeball, releasing a Blastoise as the Pawniard disappeared with Togekiss.
Granitwarf put his arms up in front of him, trudging across the field moaning like a zombie. The whole village laughed, and the Blastoise grunted, finding it unamusing. He walked over to the Blastoise, tripping and falling face first. The turtle rolled his eyes, only for the dwarf's fingertip to make contact with his toe. The dwarf had used thunder, the massive electricity causing the turtle to scream out. It twitched viciously before falling dead, the Pawniard carrying it off, Misty defeated.
Misty flung the badge across the village; Krom caught it, looking at it. He smiled, turning away. Simba smiled, holding Sher-Khan in his arms. "Kasumi-san, you must stay for dinner." He said, dark smirk on his feline features. The demon kitten laughed, pulling at his father's hair.
Misty stood, and Homika stood next to her, recovering from her vicious laughing fit. Villagers moved aside, displaying the grand feast they laid out. Jellicent sushi, Rotisserie Golduck and Togekiss were roasting on a large spit, Ash's Infernape turning it slowly. Blastoise soup steamed, the Pawniard throwing vegetables into it, the cannons o the turtle off to the side. Quagsire fillets, and Starmie sushi were all laid out, surrounded by deep fried Pikachu and Whiscash nuggets, along with Grumpig bacon and Slowpoke Tail. Misty paled, turning and running from the village.
Homika laughed, chasing after the leader. "And you say you're great. What was that?" she called. Misty turned, and stormed over. "He needs to be fucking executed for what he did to my Pokemon!" She screamed. Homika laughed. "Oh, please. I'm sure Alder and Kurai will say otherwise. After all, they're likely going over the footage now." she said, displaying a camera in the head of her bass. Misty was enraged. "You FILMED that! How dare you!" she screamed. The village watched quietly, enjoying the spectacle.
"How dare I? You said you could beat him with Starmie alone. And you couldn't even beat a drunken dwarf. And now, to show you how far beneath hem you are, they are feasting on your team." she said, smiling. Misty seethed. "Who are you to talk about rank? I'm a twentieth generation gym leader! You're a sailor's daughter, and you can't even protect your siblings!" she screamed. Homika froze, smile leaving her face. Krom tilted his head. Simba lowered his, placing his hands over his son's ears.
Homika frowned. "Listen the fuck to me you shit. Ash Ketchum replaced you three times. Three. One for an incestual bitch with an actual chest. One for a whore with hips who's fucking Volkner, and once for a black girl. And you know what irks you the most? That he chose those three over your stupid, shitfaced, arrogant, wannabe cocksucking, curveless, Arceus loving, loud mouthed, fuckhorse voiced shit looking ass. It's not like he replaced me for another gym leader, so you know what? Fuck your existence, oh wait, who'd wanna do that?" she said, tilting her head. Misty screamed, slapping Homika across the face.
"You know what? At least my sibling wasn't a Halfling who tried to protect me from being raped and died trying!" she screamed. Krom turned to Simba, who sighed. "Homika Blackwater had a brother, an Absol Halfling by the name of Sephiroth. She was attacked by a bandit on the street, and he died trying to stop him from raping her. He died in vain, as the man finished what he started with the twelve year old Homika. No one ever brought it up, as it would always and badly." he said quickly.
Homika spun, swinging her arm. She drove her arm through the chest of the Cerulean Leader, her hand coming through the back. She held the leader's heart in her hand, growling. She dropped the heart, pulling her hand out. Krom blinked. "Damn. That's hot." he said, laughing. Saria gasped, slapping his arm. He chuckled. "What? It'd be just as hot if you did that." He said, laughing. Homika set out to leave the village, but Chief Bishop stopped her.
"That was amazing! Stay for dinner? Please!? You've earned it! I think you deserve an award!" He said, laughing happily. Simba sighed. "Bishop is so childish." He said. She tilted her head. "For what?" she asked. He laughed. "You killed that loud thing!" He said, pointing to Misty's dead body, which one Pawniard hovered over, giggling. 'That, and because you're the baddest bitch I've ever met!" He laughed. Homika smiled, nodding.
Shira threw the bushes away from her motorcycle, pulling a cell phone from the bag on the side. She dialed a number, waiting for the answer. "Shut the fuck up and don't speak!" she screamed through the phone. "I was destroyed! I want the team you promised me! SOON!" she roared, hanging up. She headed back to Nacrene City to wait for her team.
The Pokemon watched the footage in shock. Cress, Misty's closet boyfriend, screamed. "She should be charged with murder!" He yelled. Alder shook his head. "Pinwheel Village isn't on any Unovan map for centuries upon centuries, and as such, is not a part of Unova. Pinwheel Village is technically it's own region, with it's own laws. So, Homika being reward for killing Misty is beyond our power." He said, smiling. The old woman laughed. "Although, I would have done the same. Blackwater's strength impressed me." she said. Alder nodded. "Just because a fire is weak doesn't mean it still can't scorch flesh." he said, watching Homika laugh with the members of Pinwheel Village.
Krom and Saria lay in bed, and Saria looked up at Krom. "I like Homika. She's different." she said. Krom looked down at her. "How?" He asked. She tilted her head. "I saw it all. The nasty attitude, the rocker girl look, the arrogance. It's all a façade." she said. Krom hummed. "A façade for what?" He asked. She laid her head on his chest. "For a girl like me. Someone who's lonely and seen differently because of something they couldn't control." she said. Krom though about the gym leader, smiling. Maybe Saria was right.
Homika departed, waving goodbye to Simba. Sable walked up to him, frowning. "What was that?" she asked. Simba sighed. "A deal. Homika wants me to be Virbank leader if she ever wants or needs time off." he said, smiling. She grunted, leading the Luxray Halfling back home. He laughed. That wasn't all they spoke about. All he could say was, it was good to see the real Homika.
