Krom, Saria and Kyouhei walked through Castelia City, their Pokemon staying behind. Granitwarf grunted as he walked with Krom, not too fond of the crowded city. Saria tilted her head, looking over at her husband. "Hey Krom, can I go challenge Burgh?" she asked, wanting to challenge the gym leader. Krom laughed nodding. "Sure, why not? Make sure Kyouhei doesn't go missing." he jeered, smiling at the twitchy trainer. She smiled, taking Kyouhei's hand and leading him to Castelia gym. Krom kept on forward, listening to Granitwarf grumble.
Krom looked warily at the ice cream in his hand. The world famous Castelia Cone bore an unusual resemblance to the ice type Pokemon, Vanillite. He wondered if the ice cream was infact a dead Vanillite, but shrugged it off. He heard a chuckle, turning to see Virbank City Gym Leader, Homika. "Wondering if it's a Vanillite aren't ya?" she asked, smirking. He chuckled, nodding.
The leaders congregated, all noticing the empty space for Virbank. The door opened, the leaders and champions turning to see Simba Lionheart carrying his son, Sher-Khan Lionheart. He sat in Homika's seat, smiling at all the leaders. "Why are you here?" growled Ecruteak City gym leader, Morty. Simba smiled. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be getting fucked in the ass by Euisine?" he quipped, making Alder chuckle. The leader growled, but said nothing.
The screen switched to Krom Hitoawa, who was strolling about Castelia with Homika. Simba laughed. "I knew you always spied on him. You know his Pokemon do too, right?" he asked. All the leaders seemed unfazed. Simba chuckled. "What's wrong? Don't like a Halfling at your table?" he asked. They all frowned, and he chuckled. "Good thing Homika's traveling with Krom to Kanto. I'm going to enjoy irking you all." he said.
Homika and Krom laughed, enjoying each others company. She turned to him, her icy blue eyes gleaming. "Hey. Wanna have a battle? I've got a spare gym badge if ya win." she said, showing off the flower looking badge. Krom laughed, yelling across the city. Seconds went by, and Foxy leapt down from a building, eyes gleaming. Homika chuckled, sending out her Koffing.
Saria sent out Packer, who faced off against Burgh's Karrablast. Burgh called for Mega horn, and Saria called for Rock Tomb. Packer summoned a rock, which he flung into the charging beetle. It struck the bug, defeating it. Burgh growled, sending out a Shelmet. Saria giggled, repeating her call. Packer repeated his motion, defeating the Shelmet. Burgh huffed, unable to believe the fact that two of his Pokemon lost so easily. He sent out his Whirlepede, angered.
Foxy jumped to the side, avoiding a Gyro Ball from the quick Pokemon. Krom was shocked at how fast the Pokemon was. He growled, calling for Night Daze. Homika called for Protect, the Koffing spinning to protect itself. The energy couldn't strike the Pokemon, which angered the fox. Once Protect wore off, Foxy growled. The Koffing's senses failed, and Foxy managed to close in, defeating the Pokemon with Night Slash. Homika smirked, calling back the defeated Pokemon, and sending out her Scolipede.
Burgh growled, his Whirlepede defeated by a single Fire Punch. He sent out his Dweeble, the hermit having found a new shell. Saria smiled, calling for Dragon Tail. The dragon charged, swinging to sweep with Dragon Tail. Burgh called for Shell Smash, the Pokemon jumping and leaving it's shell behind. Saria smiled, calling for Night Slash. Packer spun with abnormal speed, slicing the bug and defeating it. Burgh roared, sending out his Leavanny, whose arm had been repaired.
Foxy grunted, having been hit by Toxic. The fox hissed, launching a Dark Pulse. The Scolipede dodged, charging for a Megahorn. Foxy jumped back, the bug spinning to use Venoshock. Krom yelled to the fox, who was struck by the green sludge. The Pokemon fell to her knees, and Krom growled. Homika laughed, calling for Steamroller. The Pokemon roared, charging the fox. Krom called for Night Daze, the fox jumping to her feet. She was struck as she loosed the attack, the centipede Pokemon falling to the ground, but only Foxy was defeated.
Packer parried the bug's X-Scissor, grunting as he jumped back. He swung his tail, using Dragon Tail. The bug leaped back, bouncing to use Shadow Claw. Packer was struck, his Rough Skin ability causing the bug damage. He swung his claws, using Dragon Claw. The bug leaned to the side, striking with Leaf Blade, damaging itself again. Packer swung his head down, going for Zen Headbutt. The bug smiled as it jumped back, striking with Aerial Ace, damaging itself more. Saria called for Incinerate, the dragon spitting weak flame from his maw. The bug avoided, striking with Leaf Blade.
Krom had summoned Rocky, hoping the Pokemon's defenses would prove enough to win. Homika called for Aqua Tail, and Krom called for Flash Cannon. The bug charged, grunting as it ran through the beam of light. Krom smirked, calling for Stone Edge. The beam became pointed stones, striking and causing the bug to retreat. Krom called for Iron Head, and the spider charged. Homika called for Toxic, the bug spinning it's head to spew toxins. However, Rocky's head struck first, defeating the centipede. Homika smiled, switching it out for her Garbodor.
Packer took yet another Aerial Ace, the bug panting from damage. The bug was too fast for Packer, but the dragon's ability made up for it. The bug damaged itself immensely, stumbling as it jumped back. Saria laughed, calling for Dragon Tail. Packer lurched forward, swinging his tail as the bug, who was cut and scraped to near defeat. He struck the bug, causing it to go flying into a wall and be defeated. Burgh roared, as the referee called the match off, and declaring Saria the winner.
Burgh flung a Pokeball, and a monstrous Pokemon rose. It appeared to be a Leavanny, but it had huge claw like arms instead of Leavanny, and it had four. The face held a frown, which had four white, fanglike protrusions. Saria gasped at the beast, having returned Packer. "BEHOLD! Ketchum Genetics at it's finest! I fused a Leavanny with a Drapion, to create my most powerful MASTERPIECE!" He screamed, insanely. Kyouhei giggled, and sent out Handy. The Regirock had it's three morning stars dangling from chains, and he growled. "Handy, give us a hand!" he called, giggling at the irony of his statement.
The Regirock streamed forward, planting the morning stars into the flesh of the Pokemon. The Pokemon roared in pain, one morning star in it's thorax, one between it's arms, and one in it's skull. Handy used Thunderbolt, electrocuting the bestial insect. Kyouhei clapped his hands, cheering the Pokemon on. The beast fell to the ground defeated. Burgh growled, pulling a knife from his waist. Saria gasped, as the knife was one of Granitwarf's works.
Rocky grunted, being struck by multiple Double Slaps. Krom called for Solarbeam, using the sunny day to his advantage. The Pokemon launched the beam, striking the Garbodor. The trash heap grunted, shooting a Toxic and defeating Rocky. Krom grunted, calling for Rufus. Castle Face had returned for the battle, his Pokemon not ignoring his trainer. The mole jumped forward, happy to battle. Homika laughed, calling for Gunk Shot. The Pokemon generated a heap of trash, flinging it at the mole.
Krom called for Dig, the mole heading underground. Homika called for Toxic, the Pokemon shooting the poison into the ground, and watched as it melted. Krom growled, calling for Aerial Ace. The Mole exploded with an uppercut, thrusting it back with Aerial Ace, slicing it with Metal Claw, jumping back on the force of an X-Scissor. He rebounded, jumping forward for a Skull Bash, landing proudly on the ground. Homika was impressed, liking the barrage of attacks. She called for Double Slap, the trash heap Pokemon swinging it's extending arms. Krom laughed, telling Rufus to hop around. The mole jumped about, so much so that the extending arms of the Garbodor tangled up. Krom laughed, calling for Drill Run.
The mole contorted itself in the shape of a drill, spiraling as he struck the Garbodor, defeating it. She laughed, impressed by the strength of the mole. She returned it, sending out an Arbok, who hissed at the mole. Krom smirked, calling for Drill Run. Homika smiled, her Pokemon responding to a call of Seed Bomb. Krom grunted, watching the explosive seeds defeat Rufus. Krom growled. He switched the mole out for Emolga, the little flying squirrel chittering as she glided onto the field.
The artist charged at Saria, blade brandished. She gasped, the momentary shock preventing her from reacting. Kyouhei's foot slammed into the skull of Burgh, who flew back, knife falling from his hand. The boy, whose happy attitude disappeared, grabbed the knife. He stabbed Burgh in the side, the leader screaming in pain. He withdrew the bloodied knife, sinking it into Burgh's arm. Saria watched Kyouhei destroy the leader, stab by stab.
"NO! ONE! HURTS! MY! FRIENDS!" he screamed, eyes burning with hate. The leader was covered in wounds, all hilt deep. Burgh spat blood, life slowly fading from his body. He had ten wounds about his chest, seven on his legs, eight on his arms, and three slashes on his face. Saria was in shock, as he stabbed even more, the wounds starting to overlap. She pulled him off with Psychic, looking down at Burgh.
"Please…help… me." he choked out. Saria shook her head, lifting her hand in front of his face. She unleashed a Focus Blast, helping him by putting him out of his misery.
Saria walked out of the gym with the blood stained Kyouhei, who was still slightly on edge. They walked to Krom, who battled Homika. Emolga used Discharge, defeating Arbok as it struck with Gunk Shot. The squirrel hit the ground defeated. Krom looked to Saria.
She smiled at her husband. "I'm going to take Kyouhei to get a new set of clothes." she said, leading the blood stained boy off. Krom laughed, sending out Castle Face against her Seviper. Homika called for Flamethrower, Krom mimicking. The two Pokemon shot flames from their maws, the flames causing an explosion. Homika called for Aqua Tail, and Krom called for ExtremeSpeed. Homika raised a brow, and the beast was in front of her viper in seconds, and Krom called for Body Slam. The snake gasped as the half ton Pokemon fell on top of it, defeating it.
Homika laughed, sending out her final Pokemon, a Toxicroak. The frog like Pokemon was a light blue, his abdominal bands in the style of a male's. Krom decided to use Kooky against the Pokemon, despite the massive type disadvantage. Homika called for Drain Punch, the frog swinging his green energy cloaked fist.
Kooky jumped back, avoiding the attack while giggling. He wore the Misty facemask, knowing they were being filmed. He swung his blades, using Slash, and the frog leaned back, using Sucker Punch. It struck the Pawniard, who spun in midair, and landed on his feet. He shot a Dark Pulse, and the frog dodged, using a Dark Pulse of his own. The Pawniard was struck, flying back further. Kooky giggled, using Flash Cannon.
The Toxicroak dodged, striking with Sludge Bomb. Krom growled, wondering if he should pull back the Pokemon. Kooky yelled, jumping up and charging. He used Night Slash, but the frog used Drain Punch. Kooky flew into the air, nearly defeated. He struck the ground, wobbling to his feet. Homika laughed, calling for Drain Punch. Kooky's eyes gleamed, and his blades glew pink. He leaned to the side, slicing the air, blades of psychic energy striking the frog. The Psycho Cut defeated the frog, securing Krom's victory.
Homika laughed, handing the badge to the trainer. He smiled, placing the badge in Nibbles' mouth. The dragon took the badge, being led back to the camper. Kooky danced about, happy about his victory. The Pokemon cheered each other on, congratulating the victors. Homika and Krom walked off, enjoying each other's company.
Krom and Homika chatted, being joined by Kyouhei and Saria soon. The four enjoyed the rest of the day, Homika saying she had to head back to Virbank, as Simba had his family to worry about.
The League still disliked Simba, who chuckled. He stood behind the elderly woman, at the snack stand they had. He noticed the cloak flutter, and smirked. Morty mouthed off, berating the woman for allowing Simba to be a gym leader. Simba's phone rung, and he answered it. Morty screamed loudly, and the woman's cloaked floated from her body.
The cloak morphed into a Dusclops, who grunted at the leader. The other leaders paled as the ghost Shadow Punched Morty in the face. The leader crashed into a wall, and the cloaked floated back over to the old woman. "I'm sorry. Dusty doesn't like it when you bitch, moan, groan and complain." she said, laughing. Simba chuckled. Morty stumbled to his feet, and Sher-Khan leapt from the table, latching onto the leader's face.
Cackling noises were heard, and Simba took his time getting a cup of coffee and a doughnut. He sat down, smiling as he called his son over. The little boy growled at the leader, jumping up onto the table. Simba laughed. "The little guy followed me here, and I decided not to send him back. I knew he'd be fun to be with." he said, petting his striped fur. Morty stood, smoking, and went to yell at Simba.
Simba growled, holding Sher-Khan by the tail. The boy dangled in the gay leader's face, tiny Shadow Ball between his claws. Morty stopped, sitting down quietly. "Now, I got a call. My people have taken the Castelia Gym. Repots came to me that Kyouhei stabbed Burgh to death to defend Saria, and Bishop appointed Vinci leader. If you have something to say, I'm his bodyguard. So, bitch to me first." he said. They all froze, not saying a word.
Alder laughed. "Your boy has a temper. He takes after his father." he said. Simba gasped in mock hurt. "I'm appalled. I have no temper. I'm mellower than Norman's Slaking." he said, smirking. The three laughed, and the Halfling baby growled at the smoking leader.
