Part 6

POKÉWARRIORS;THE MATCHES ARE MADE

"Listen,while we're waiting for your friends to get here why don't Ember and i show you our Pokémon up close?"asked Adam,petting his Pichu.

"Sure that would be great"replied Ash,eager as always to see lots of Pokémon.

"Why not let your Pokémon out guys?It's better then being in their Pokéballs all the time"said Ember,setting Flareon down on the ground and letting it wonder off.

"Great idea,they could use the fresh air"ageed Ash,taking all six of his Pokéballs."Ivysaur,Wartortle,Pidgeot,Charizard and Muk(EPM;It was either that or Tauros,Kingler or Lapras). . . GO!"yelled Ash throwing out his Pokéballs.In 5 flashs of red light,Ash's winning Pokémon came out.

"Staryu,Starmie,Seaking,Horsea and Psyduck(*Sigh*Yes it's still a Psyduck)come on out"called Misty,doing her normal spin and her water Pokémon came out,landing in the near by pool.

"Let's rock n' roll Onix,Golem,Golbat and Vulpix"summoned Brock,his Onix now coal black(As any good Pokémon Trainer knows when Onix reaches full size*Smug grin*),his Geodude fully evoled as well as the blood thirsty Golbat.

"Ember,i think we should let our other Pokémon out for a rest.Okay time to give you guys some space. . . Venusaur,Alakazam,Seadra,Golem,Jolteon and Vileplume come on out"cried Adam,doing his trademark tilt of his shades and throwing out his Pokémon.When they were out Alakazam teleported somewhere,Venusaur and Vileplume headed into some trees,Seadra hopped into the water and played with Misty's Horsea and finally Golem headed after Onix and Golem to a cave while Jolteon headed for a buliding with 'DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE' written on it.

"Those are some healthy Pokémon you have there Adam"noted Brock,admiring HIS Golem.

"Thanks,i have them check up every month to keep them 100%"

"You know how to pick 'em.plant,psychic,water,rock,electric and poison"said Ash,thinking Adam was no amateur.

"It's handy to many types with you so it's hard to be caught offguard"expained Adam.He felt better talking to Ash this way.Talking about the one thing they had in commen the most(Apart from being stubborn)Pokémon.

"You like fire Pokémon i understand Brock?"asked Ember,her smile making Brock's face turn beet red.

"Ah,waa sure.My favorite Pokémon is my Vulpix ahhh"Brock was enwrapped at the sight of Ember.She just giggled it off.

"Well you're going to love these,Arcanine,Ninetails,Magmar,Ponyta goooo"she called.They were the hottest and somehow the coolest fire Pokémon around.

"Wow,these Pokémon are great"praised Brock,taking down some notes.

"You can let your Pokémon wander about this square of land,mine nor Ember's Pokémon won't harm them.They're a bunch of softy's at heart,but are graet fighters"warned Adam,admiring how well kept Misty keeps her water Pokémon and Brock his rock Pokémon.

"Are you saying that all the Pokémon in this huge square are your's?"gasped Misty,looking at the large area that went beyond her sight.

"Except the fire Pokémon,they're mine"cut in Ember,not wanting Adam to get big headed.(Yeah,right)

"True but still all the other types of Pokémon are mine"Adam boasted.But then his face and voice turned sincere as he looked at the Pokémon which he cared for for some many years.Raising some of them at their first stage of evolution."I'v worked hard to get them as strong as they are now and i'm very proud of them.All my Pokémon know i expect only the best from them but i don't force them or anything,that's not right.I ask no more from them then i do myself.Each and every of my Pokémon are my friends too and i treat them with care,love and respect"Adam's voice was very proud sounding,even a little choked up.

As they kept walikng around the grounds,Ash slowed down a bit to walk with Misty,wanting to be closer to her."You know,at first i thought those two or at least Adam were a little. . .cold but now i see how much they change now that they are with their Pokémon"whispered Ash,actually starting to like Adam.

"You know Ash,people can act totally different to Pokémon then they do around other human beings.Apart from Ember,Adam seems to get along better with Pokémon than humans"said Brock who was just behind them taking in all the groups of Pokémon there were.

"I think he just acts like a total jerk because he nervous and just snaps at people. . . except Ember as you say"responded Misty,watching as Adam and Ember were laughing up ahead.

"HEY ASHY BOY!"shouted a voice.The group turned around to see another Ash?

"Ha ha ha your getting real good at your imitations Duplica,pity you keep forgeting the eyebrows"said Ash laughing.Duplica was wearing the exact clothes Ash was and his cap,unless you looked closer it was hard to tell who was who.

"Thanks.It's great to see you guys again,i saw you all on T.V.I was going to call,but then these people in suits grabbed me and brought me here"chirped Dulpica,taking off her costume.

"Hey Duplica remember us?"asked Misty and Brock.

"How could i forget the best Trainers in Water and Rock type Pokémon"complimented Duplica,hugging them both.

"We apologize for such strong arm tactics Miss.We brought you here because we thought Team Rocket might force you into doing some undercover work with your skills.It would seem we were right"Adam said.

"Hey it's cool.Oh Ash,some other people want to meet you"said Duplica with a big smile on her face.

"Really?Who?"asked Ash,thinking of everybody he had met on his journey and how great it would be to see them again.

"Hey Ash,over here"shouted someone.That someone was one of two trainers Ash almost lost to the day before.A.J and Richie.

"Richie,A.J,oh wow it's great to see you guys"The group talked excitedly about their matches and old times as Adam and Ember just watched. . . . until.

"YO,WHAT'S UP BIG A,HOT E?"(EPM-Don't ask*Cringe*)The sudden*ahem*slang brought everybody's attention to four people about 17 walking their way wearing suits.(EPM-Please note that the guy is question is based loosely around my own best friend Giuseppe Barbera,he said i could use him but only the way he wanted to look like so don't blame me if he sounds weird.Giuseppe is weird.)The guy who called out had shocking blue hair that was spiked up through a hole in his green hat that had 'DX' on it.(EPM-Yes he wanted to look like Scotty Too Hotty,oh don't sue me Titen sports)He was just Adam's height but just a bit pudgey,he wore a sovereign ring and round yellow shades.

The girl just behind him was a little shorter then Joe.She had golden hair that was rolled up into a bun,she had a very beautiful face that had a big smile that turned Brock into butter who was at that moment drooling(She's that damn hot)looking at her slim form.

And behind her was one of the biggest guys the gang has ever seen,he was BRUNO size,broad shouldered with blue eyes and short blond hair.His face was cold as stone.(This guys is also based one of my more'gruffer'friends)

"Finally came someone who was the shortest of the four(This guy is based on my second best bud Billy,the clown of tmy friends).He had thick,dark hair that went down to his chin in almost dreadlock clusters.The front two of these were a green color(*Sigh*He wanted his hair like this.He wants to start a band like Green Day or something)

"Who are they?"asked Misty,a zillion sweatdrops at the back of her head.

"These are our friends.First we have Joe Hawk,our word on the street when it comes to crime.He also works undercover on missions,he trains the toughest bird Pokémon on the base"answered Adam,loving the looks on the young trainers when they saw his friends.

"Hey,how you doing?*Psst*Want to know how to turn one Pokéball into two?"asked Joe,looking around like he held a secret that would make millions.

"Sure"said Ash,keeping his voice down to a whisper.Then Joe held out a Pokéball in it small form in the palm of his hand.He then slipped it into his other hand and made a fist,he then uses the fist to hit the other hand causing it to close.He then opened both hands and there was a Pokéball in each hand.Ash and co gasped but Joe made a gesture to keep watching.He then repeated the process with the two balls and this time making three. . . then four,then five and then six.He then put all six balls in his hand closed and with 'magic' made all the balls disappear.Looking around scratching his head he then looked at the six trainers and reached behind each of their ears producing the missing Pokéballs.

"Wow that was cool"gasped Duplica.Joe just grinned and backed up.

"Next we have Kat Prowler,another undercover agent and our top thieve"said Adam.

"Your missing possessions speak for my talent"said Kat in her soft voice.A naughty girl smile on her ruby lips.The gang cheaked their pokets to find things missing.Kat had things like Ash's Pokédex,A.J and Richie's Pokébelts and even Togepi. . . . which she handed back.

"How. . . .?"Brock tried to asked but was speechless.

"My other skills included karate,cooking,training normal type Pokémon like Snorlax and great fashion sence"

"You like cooking?Well all my friends are always telling what a great cook i am,maybe we can talk over diner and. . . "*WHACK*Brock was left lying on the ground with Misty's mallet in his head.

"Errr well,moving on with have the best hand-to-hand fighter in any of P.A.T.A's bases. . .Steve Blackthorn who spent many years in the orange islands training his mind and fighting Pokémon"told Ember.Steve just bowed to the group in his silent respect to the trainers.

"And last but not least we have our computer expert and professor,Prof Bill Bytesworthey"finished Ember.Bill did that one handed click thing and nodded.

After a few handshakes and welcoming words,they all made their way back to Adam's private pond where Misty ran ahead and was now kneeling in front of it.

"You seem to have lots of water Pokémon"noted Misty.Unable to remove herself from the sight of the water Pokémon swimming below the surface.

"Yeah,water,electric and grass and my favs,plus my first Pokémon was a water type" informed Adam,also unable from looking away from his water Pokémon.

"What was it?" asked A.J.

"It's a. . hmm?" The water in the pond suddenly erupts sending a Tentacruel and a Maril onto the ground"Huh. . seems you'll find out for yourself"said Adam,knowing the mistake one of his Pokémon had made at the bottom of the pond.A Gyarados and a Kingler came into sight,very angry looking.As they stayed near one end of the pond. . . a Blastoise erupted from the other looking angry also.The gang gasped as Gyarados and Kingler both powered up Hyper beam and shot them towards Blastoise who managed to dodge both beam with incredible speed.Blastoise then charged and hit Gyarados with a Skull Bash,while it was reeling from the attack,Blastoise hit it with a Mega Punch,sending th dragon out of the water.

Adam was smiling at the win and continued smiling when Kingler came behind Blastoise and hit it with a Crab Hammer attack.While Blastoise was still stunned,Kingler applied a Vice Grip to Blastoise.Ash and his friends thought it was all over until Blastoise easily pushes open Kingler claw and Seismic tossed Kingler to the ground,followed up with a Body Slam.Blastoise spotted Gyarados getting up and so tossed Kingler into Gyarados.To finish the fight,Blastoise fired a Ice Beam and froze both Pokémon.Ash and co were shocked that one Pokémon could beat two Pokémon with such ease.

"That's my first Pokémon,Blastoise.Kingler and Gyarados must hace woken it up and Blastoise got angry.Still upset boy?"asked Adam.Blastoise roared in a 'yes'.

"Then lets get you some more opponents then shall we?"laughed Adam tuning towards the fields.

"What?" cried out Ash,wonder what he ment.

"Electabuzz,Victreebell attack Blastoise"commanded Adam,out of the bushes a Electabuzz and a Vicreebell came out charging at Blastoise who was smiling at such a charge.

"Wha?What are you doing?"called out Misty over the thundering of the footsteps.

"Giving ol' Blastoise a more worthy challenge"answered Adam knowing the results before hand even though his two attacking Pokémon were two of the best around the world.

"Water are weak against Grass and Electric type's"warned Ash,very angry at Adam's stupid move.

"Not aginst my best Pokémon they aren't"shot back Adam.Ember and the rest of her friends knew how Adam loved to show how well he trained his Pokémon.It was a habit.

When they got close enough,Blastoise stomped it's foot hard on the ground,gave an almighty roar and glared at the Pokémon and thus doing three moves in one.It worked as the two Pokémon stopped dead in their tracks in fear and started running away but they had a helping Hydro Pump attack from Blastoise to send them flying into the woods.

"That Blastoise just defeated 4 Pokémon that had the type advantage over it without breaking a sweat"gasped Brock.Looking on with his mouth wide open as Adam petted his most powerful Pokémon.

"Told you,i raised Blastoise when it was just a Squirtle and i know what it can and can't do.My first Pokémon is unbeatable"bragged Adam,knowing it was in a way true.

"I'm a trainer who finds these sort of fight refreshing and even calming.But i would NEVER put Blastoise or anyother of my Pokémon in danger"(EPM-He calls that fight CALMING?)

"Well a battle always makes me feel relaxed.The more intense the better"agreeed A.J who was also known for pushing his Pokémon to the limit.

"How about a tournament?"suggested Ember,fighting spirit showing inside her.

"Yeah a big battle between these runts and P.A.T.A."said Kat.

"Who are you calling runts?"growled Misty,not liking it when her own sisters called her a runt.

"You,runt"sneered Kat,straing Misty down.Adam steeped between the two groups and thought about the idea.

"I know. . . Ember,Joe,Kat,Bill and Steve vs Brock,Misty,A.J,Duplica and Richie in any order.Since Ash is the number 1 Pokémon Master he can challenge the best P.A.T.A has to offer"offered Adam,jumping with the fact that Ash would except in a heart beat.

"If my friends are fighting then i challenge this "P.A.T.A Master"of yours"challenged Ash.His eyes were burning with the thought of a battle since winning the Pokémon league.

"Okay Ash. . ."said Adam taking a stance.

"Huh?"asked Ash,naive to the fact he was tricked.

"I accept your challenge"he said,Adam could now prove to himself that he could beat a Ketchum.

"Wha. .?"'I have to face that Blastoise?'Ash looked down at his best friend Pikachu who was cringing behind his leg as it stared at Blastoise and even Pikapal who had sparks flying out of it's cheeks.

"Pika pika"cried Pikachu.

"This ain't good"whispered Misty.

"Kiss your Pokémon Master goodbye"laughed Steve,suprising everyone by talking.However his comment didn't escape Richie

"Ash can beat him blind folded"Richie shot back,glaring at Steve.Now,when you're talking to a guy Steve's size,it ain't a good idea to talk back to him.

"Okay. . . i want to battle you ya loud mouth"challenged Steve,barly holding himself from putting Richie in a hospital bed *hehe*.

"Not good"replied Richie weakly.Joe is a proud man when it comes to his Pokémon,he has great pride in proving that birds are just as tough as any other Pokémon type.A.J claims his Sandshrew can beat any flying Pokémon.

"He might have beaten Ash's flying types at one time but this bird of prey is going to stike the mouse"

"Yo,A.J.You seem to have the crazy idea that your little mouse is unbeatable against flying Pokémon,Well i say put your Sandshrew where the action is against me"challenged Joe,cocking his head to one side with those smirks you just LOVE to wipe off people's faces.

"You've got yourself a match chump"

Kat is well known by her friends as a flirt and her taste is fine.Although she thought Brock was a good person he was too weak in the knees for her.However as a trainer his rock Pokémon would prove to put her normal type Pokémon to the test.

"You know Brock,i'm sure we can talk about cooking all day.But now the only things being traded by you and me will be blows if you can handle this kitty"offered Kat in her 'special way' '-^.Brock was glowing red,willing to jump through hoops if she asked.(EPM-Well,he is Brock and she IS Kat after all)

"Wa,erm sure battle whatever.Maybe after we can talk about cooking and i can show you how to improve the health of your Pokémon"asked Brock,bracing himself for a slap like he usually gets from pretty girls.

"Sure,i hold nothing against someone after a match.My Snorlax has been a liitle grumpy lately if you can help"accepted Kat.

"I can't believe it"said Ash sweatdropping.

"Someone actually said yes to Brock"finished Misty who had the most sweatdrops.

"Duplica,since you think you can handle a battle by dressing like a little girl in mommy's high heels.Then i'll show you i'm too hot to handle"dared Ember,remembering what Blane told her a long time ago 'If your fire Pokémon can beat a fire type just as strong and win,you're not proving how strong your Pokémon but how skilled it is.This will tell you and everyone else that you are a great trainer'Ember wanted to find out if she was now that good since Dulpica's Ditto always changed into the opponent's Pokémon.

"LITTLE GIRL!?!"Shrieked Dulpica,her tone itself agreed.

"That just leaves the scraps,fine by me.Misty you may dress like a boy but your playing with the big boys now"joked Bill,who makes at habit of teasing people.

"SCRAPS!!I'LL BEAT YOU TO A PULP YOU LITTLE JERK!!"Errr,she accepts folks.

"Calm down.Save your energy for battle,you have 2 hours to get ready"said Adam pushing the two groups apart.

"Why are you being so rude about this?"asked Ash,surprising himself that he was hurt by such cold words from the group.Adam reminded him of himself,determined and yet caring about his Pokémon. . . just like he was.

"Normally,we wouldn't.But we're spoiling for a fight and we want you be just like our enemies,heartless and holding nothing back"answered Adam,also not really wanting to offend Ash deep down but Adam was nervous about the upcoming fight against Team Rocket and then there was the fact that he looked at Ash and saw his father. . . the thief. . . the beater and it tore him up inside.Battleing him was the only way to solve the problem for him.

"Ah,a match is a match to me"spitted A.J,not really caring why he battled.

"When we're done with you guys,You're going to know why we are the best there is and why Rockets run at our names"told Steve in his booming voice.With that said,the agents turned around and left to train leaving Ash and co wondering 'What have we gotten into?'

Wow that was the longest part i'v ever done.Sorry it's been so long that it loked like i forgot about it,tough few weeks in school.Well now it's the holidays over here so part 7 here we come.What do you think of Adam and Ember's friends?(No snidey remarks about Joe ok?)What do you think of the matches?Who should win?Think of the answer as i tell you what happens next.The first tree round begin and we meet Adam's dad in the flesh.Plus Adam and his mom talk,ark i can't wait to write it. See ya.
