The leaders had just finished watching the battle between Krom and Drayden when Simba walked in, head held high, huge grin on his face. He looked at them all. "What? Thank you, Thank you. I know, right? I do a better Gary Oak then Gary Oak." he said, walking around the table laughing. He stopped behind Gary, placing a furred, clawed hand on his shoulder, leaning down smiling. "Do you think it's powerful enough?" he whispered, and Gary froze. He chuckled, sitting don. "Oh, hold up. You gotta check this out." he said, lifting the remote. He pressed a button, yelling BOOM! when he did. The video of the uprising played in full swing, from Rex killing children to Halflings raping human woman, and Simba's Therian form.
He purred, fond of the video. When the video was finished, he smiled at the leaders, who all gaped. "So, how was it? Brutal, right?" he asked. Candice, Snowpoint City Sinnoh Leader, screamed at him. Before she said a word, Simba held his hand up, and it shifted on it's own. Fur sprouted, and claws grew. "Think before you speak." he said, and she quieted. Simba laughed. "Burnt cross town is mine. Rex and Adoette rotate as Gym Leader. Gym has a beastly theme. Gives the beast badge to victors, and the badge looks like a claw. Boom." he said, spreading his arms, turning to Kurai.
Leaders gaped at her. "You can't be thinking about accepting this, can you?" Candice yelled, and Kurai laughed. "I accept this. Rex is hereby Burnt Cross town gym leader, with Adoette as substitute." she said, and Candice shot to her feet. Simba wagged a clawed finger. "I wouldn't. I've got a few ice Halflings who'd love your gym." he said, and she growled. Volkner jumped to her aid. Simba laughed, glaring at Volkner. "Sit." he said, and the leader sat against his will, the Luxray's eyes glowing blue. Simba smiled. "Now I need to become Nacrene leader or some shit." he said, laughing as they dispersed. He looked to Gary, who was unnerved. "Remember what I said." he stated, smirking as he walked away.
Gary exploded into the lab, screaming at them all. "WHO LET THAT HALFLING KNOW!?" He roared, grabbing a lab tech. "Was it you!? He screamed. The man shook his head, afraid of the leader. Gary roared, not believing him. He flung the man with all of his power, the man crashing into the test tube that held the Mewtwo. The tube explode, the man dead. The Mewtwo opened it's eyes the green orbs piercing their souls. Colress laughed, rushing to one of his machines. "Time to start training this beast!" he roared insanely. He clicked a button on his machine, sending even more data to Pinwheel Village.
Simba laughed. He intercepted the jet Colress took, masking himself as a pilot. Luckily, the co-pilot was merely a clone created using Double Team. He knew there was something about Colress that Simba liked. Maybe it was his fucked up hair. That's some whack ass shit.
Krom and the crew stayed in Opelucid for a few days, training. Kyouhei and Krom spared, Granitwarf forged, Kooky continued his job as the serial killer The Pokeballa. He received the name because he stole Pokeballs, and now he stole them for Krom. Little did the region know, the Pokeballa was a Pawniard and not a man. He obtained the name in Icirrus from Bruce, who said he should be famous. Castle Face was trying to teach Mahmut ExtremeSpeed.
"Now listen fat ass. You need to focus on moving faster, and I don't mean your huge mouth. Feel the wind on your face, and run. Run as fast as your huge ass can run, then push it. You need to feel yourself become lighter, and then nearly float above the ground- what the fuck?" he said, turning to the mammoth. The mammoth fell asleep. The Bastiodon's jaw hit the ground. "You fucking fat shit! How the fuck dare you fall a fuck asleep! Who the fuck do you think you are fat ass!" he yelled, hitting the mammoth with Flash Cannon. The mammoth grunted, but didn't respond. The Bastiodon grunted. "Fat fucker. Wish I could fucking sleep. But no, I have a fucking camper to carry!" he yelled, grumbling.
The Oozaru meditated when Dj Swamp walked over. "Dude, that fight rocked!" he said. The ape grunted. "You gotta tell me how you used Frenzy Plant!" he said. The ape grunted, turning to face the mud fish. "By using it." he said. The mud fish blinked. "Oh. Well it still kicked ass!" he said, patting the ape on the back. Bruce walked over, laughing as he led the mud fish away. Rafiki leapt through the air, training with Fred. The ape still rolled his eyes at the Eelektross' name. At least his wild Pokemon name wasn't Fred.
Rafiki trained with Fred-sensei, whose wild Pokemon name was Medicine Taster. He received the name because eel was eaten raw when made as sushi, and he preferred his food raw. He used Thunder Punch, swinging his fist through the air. The Monferno jumped back, using Sludge Bomb. The eel grunted, falling back poisoned. One of the Pawniard threw a Pecha Berry, healing the eel. He came around using Dragon Claw, nearly striking the chimp. A vine was wrapped around him, the Oozaru wagging his finger. Fred grunted, taking a fighting stance.
Music played, Dj Swamp training with Bruce. The two fought to music, and trained happily to the bass. They called Rasputin and Packer over, working on their teamwork. The dragon and scorpion had never fought together, but made a batter team than the less experienced Mienfoo and Swampert. Thy decided to stick to music, where they had more experience.
Kyouhei danced about, making Sari and Krom laugh. He couldn't dance to save his life, and didn't care. Saria sat in Krom's lap, enjoying the serene day. They heard a bird caw, and turned to see a Honchkrow fly down, delivering a letter to Krom. He thanked the Big Boss Pokemon, who tipped his hat. He opened the latter, reading aloud.
"Hey kids, it's old man Simba. How ya been? Don't answer that, I can't hear you. I'd just wanted you kids to hear that I destroyed Aspertia and most of the Westborough Baptist Church in Unova with it. Not all though, so keep on your toes. It's now Burnt Cross Town, and has a new leader and badge, so the badge you got from Cheren is useless, and you have to pay us a visit! I'm sure the Burnt Cross Leader will look forward to seeing you! Much love and other such shit, Simba" it read, and Krom laughed. "Looks like we'll head back to Castelia soon. The only boat southwest is there, and I want that badge." he said, and Saria laughed.
Shira watched Krom enjoy his day, and was unsure if she should walk up to him. She wanted to apologize for everything, but couldn't bring herself to walk up to him. She saw the egg her Emboar gave Krom's Sparturk sit there, close to the meditating Infernape. She wanted to allow her Emboar to bid the egg farewell, as it seemed important to her. She saw Saria turn, and wave. Krom turned, smiling and waving. She grunted, walking up to them.
'Hey Shira!" Krom called, waving. She waved weakly, only one Pokeball on her belt. Saria smiled. "It's okay. We forgive you. You helped Krom's Golurk evolve. And we know you didn't do it on your own. We could tell someone was behind you. Simba just confirmed it for us." she said, displaying the back of the letter. It read: Forgive Shira my people, it wasn't her fault. Juniper was behind it, you know, the chick one. I dealt with her, official league style. Shira laughed, pulling the ball from her belt. She loosed her Emboar, who grunted as she came out. The boar had stitches on her chest from the wound. Sparturk nodded to her, a sign of respect. The female Golurk waved, holding hands with the warrior. Shira smiled, feeling more welcomed.
Shira spent the day with them, showing the side of her Krom knew growing up. A kind, fun loving girl who likes tough looking Pokemon. Not the greedy Moyasu within. Shira and Krom argued over the egg, debating whether it belonged to the Emboar herself. Saria sighed, looking at the egg. It was brown, with red markings that resembled a tear streak. She frowned, unable to determine what was inside. She looked to the two Golurk, wondering just how Vraccas altered them the way he did.
Simba laughed. "You actually decided that's what a female Golurk would look like?" he asked. Vraccas grunted. Simba took a deep breath, chuckling. "What happens if she tears the seal from her chest? Is she gonna turn into a Sparturk, or are you gonna overuse your power and make a new Pokemon?" he asked. Vraccas grunted. "I did what I wanted to. Not my fault you don't like it." he said. Simba chuckled. "Never said that. Anyway, what're we gonna do about this Mewtwo?" he asked. Vraccas shrugged and grunted. "It'd be interesting to have such a Pokemon under our wings, so to speak." he said. Simba laughed.
"So you think we should, what? Prepare for the Mewtwo to come strolling through our gates?" he asked Vraccas grunted. "I assume the dwarf will win. If he does, then yes. We can rebuild him." he said. Simba chuckled. "We can rebuild him? That's funny. What's next? You merely adopted Pinwheel Village, I was born in it, molded by it." he said, causing them to both to laugh. Rex growled from across the room, adjusting his suit. Simba laughed. "Adoette really making you wear that thing to be a gym leader?" he asked. Rex grunted. "Yup. She said if Brycen can wear a kimono, and Grimsley can wear a suit, you can too." he said, grumbling. Simba chuckled.
Simba was in Burnt Cross, training the Halflings. Each had a grueling past, but one stuck out. A blue ringed, golden eyed Umbreon Halfling named Ishron. He was born in Sinnoh, which was a shock to Simba. He took the name from his late father, who was killed trying to protect him. A Swampert took him to Unova, where the mud fish was killed in battle. He was young, only twenty seven, and a shaman in training. Simba took him under his paw, laughing. The boy was special, as he escaped from a place where Halfling were bought, sold, butchered, eaten, turned into everything ranging from lampshades to rugs, and fur coats. The boy had potential, this the old shaman could tell.
Krom awoke the next day, a letter delivered by the same crow. Krom read it, Saria and Kyouhei slowly awoke. "Old man again! Got some news for Kyouhei. I adopted an Umbreon Halfling from Sinnoh. He had a horrible past I wouldn't wish on …well scratch that. His name is Ishron Darkpierce, as he wasn't fond of taking my last name yet. Below is a picture of the Lionheart pride. Keep it real my mother fuckers!" it read, and Kyouhei laughed as he looked at the picture of the Lionheart family. Simba stood with Sher-Khan on his shoulders, and Sarabi hanging from his tail. Sanatika sat on her mother's shoulder, while Sable held a sleeping Scar. A thin, seemingly skittish boy with pointed ears and blue rings in his hair and on his tail looked away from the camera, unnerved.
Krom sat staring at the egg. He had luck last time, so he tried again. "I wish you'd hatch soon." he said, and the egg glowed, as if by magick. Krom blinked. The egg morphed slowly, turning into a Tepig that was brown, had red tear streak markings under his eyes, a tail that resembled Larvitar more than Tepig, and a more rounded face. The Pokemon called out, smiling. Shira's Emboar smiled, petting the Fire Pig before waving goodbye. Krom smiled down at the little Fire Pig Pokemon, checking it's moves with the Pokedex. "Tepig. Moves: Flame Charge, Rock Throw." it said, and Krom laughed. He took the pig outside, calling Rafiki over for training.
Colress blasted the Mewtwo as it trained, wiping out their test subjects, which included a swarm of Tyranitar and Metagross. The Pokemon was programmed to have a one track mind. Gain power to defeat the dwarf. That was all the Pokemon thought of, his heart the most savage off all Pokemon. Colress monitored the Pokemon's power, the data transmitting the data to Simba each second. Once the Pokemon's training was complete, it was to be reprogrammed to defeat the dwarf at all costs.
Gary Oak sat at home, unnerved. Simba's words still rung in his head. He was pouring massive funds into this, receiving help from Pope Westborough. The church was thanked and Gary returned the favor with a huge donation to the Church of Arceus. The Mewtwo's power was even beyond the first, Gary showing his superiority to the first Mewtwo's creator, Giovanni. But the lion's words lingered in his head. Was it powerful enough?
