Pokéwarriors 9;A bird,a worm and a Sandshrew
The crowd in the P.A.T.A stadium had calmed down after the stunning win of Richie over Steve.Now A.J and Sanshrew took their places and waited for Joe to get set.But Joe was playing up the crowd with a few dance steps and got them to clap in rhythm as he took the steps to the podium.
"Get on with it ya blue haired chump"yelled an annoyed A.J,flicking his wrist to make the whip snap.But Joe took his time and called out his Dodrio.
"THIS MATCH WILL HAVE ONLY ONE POKÉMON EACH,A.J IS USING SANDSHREW WHILE JOE IS USING DODRIO"boomed the announcer's voice.A.J started with a crack of his whip.
"Sandshrew go,Swift attack"ordered A.J.Shandshrew closed the distance between it and Dodrio and fired small electric stars with would be strong against bird Pokémon.Dodrio,living up to it's place as one of the fastest Pokémon ever dodged the stars and tried to peak Sandshrew.The ground mouse hopped over the bird and kicked up a sandstorm.
"Blow it away"said Joe,not wanting to be at a disadvantage.Dodrio blew away the sand but there was no sign of Sandshrew,only a burrow.
"Keep your eyes open Dodrio.Sandshrew is sneaky"warned Joe.A.J cracked the whip again and Sandshrew burst from the ground under Dodrio.Dodrio rolled off to the side and tried to put up it's guard again but Sandshrew got stuck in with Fury Swipes.Dodrio got quite badly hurt but turned the damage into attack power with its Rage.
"Beat that bird brain Sandshrew"instructed A.J.Sandshrew was doing a good job blocking most of Dodrio's attacks,but blocking was tiring and some shots hit."Bite!"shouted A.J.The next time Dodrio tried a peak,Sandshrew bite one of it's necks.Dodrio screeched in pain,giving Sandshrew the time to Slash a few wings.
"Fly Dodrio!"cried Joe in desperation.Dodrio tried,but Sandshrew used a rolling tackle,sending Dodrio crashing to the ground.
"Bye,bye birdie"taunted A.J,cracking his whip to signal the final move.Sandshrew took a dive to deliver another Slash.But Dodrio overacted its condition and sidestepped and used a Tri-attack to send the small Pokémon reeling.Before it could get up it was pounded into the dirt with a Drill Peak.Suddenly,Dodrio started squawking and looked around as the crowd started cheering.
"What's going on?"asked Duplica,looking around.Adam and Ember were laughing lightly.
"He does this every time.He calls this move the 'worm'"answered Adam,chuckling at his best friend who was spread eagled.He hopped on one foot in a semi-circle on the podium.Dodrio was copying it's master,moving away from a still Sandshrew.With each step the crowd of agents shouted along.
"W-O-R-M!"yelled the agents.Joe and Dodrio stopped and curved their body's as they both . . did the WORM(EPM-Now you know what the title means).When they were standing again the rabble 'hooed'as Joe did a few chops.Dodrio cried from each of it's heads and executed another Drill peak that made Sandshrew faint.
"THE WINNER,JOE AND DODRIO!"The arena erupted with cheers as Joe celebrated with Bill and Steve in. . . you guessed it.A victory dance..The crowd clapped as Joe,Bill and even Steve got down to the music.
"Half time,we're up next"Adam said bluntly,getting up to go to the locker rooms.Ember gave Ash,Brock and Duplica an apologetic look for Adam's lack of manners.
"Misty,Richie and A.J did a great job taking on our friends"complimented Ember before getting up herself and heading the lockers.
"Let's go pick up our Pokémon and see the other guys"suggested Brock.They agreed and headed to the P.A.T.A Pokémon Center.Meanwhile,when Adam and Ember got to the lockers they were diverted to a secret room deep into the base's heart along with their friends.The Boss faced the 6 agents with a rather grim look.
"We just got word that three gym's were attacked and other major installations.This however is nothing to this"he trailed off as he turned on a huge screen behind him.There was smoldering chunks of buildings,aircraft,parks and even dead people."These are images from military bases,towns and villages all around the world"the Boss said sadly.
"Who could have done such a thing?"asked Ember,totally shocked and almost crying over the horrible scenes.
"Them"growled the Boss with venom in his voice.Another image came on the screen,two huge looking figures were flying above wreckage.They were in dark armor that seemed to resemble a dragon and a ghost.
"They call themselves Hypernite and Illusion,otherwise known as the Dark Duo.They're two Rockets with very large toys.Their weapons are highly destructive,they have taken down fighter planes,tanks and even battle ships.
"Bastards!"cursed Adam.(EPM-Oh,Adam swore,bad)
"My thoughts exactly.On the good side we can fight armor against armor.Bill if you'll please"asked the Boss.Bill went to the front and put a disk into a computer.Blueprints of six suits of armor flashed across the screen.
"I created these designs in case this happened.The strongest one is. . . Shellshock,based on a Blastoise.It is the most powerful armor but it can only last a short time before causing damage to the wearer.Adam can you take that responsibility?"Bill asked.Adam looked confused but the Boss interupted his thoughts.
"Adam,you and Ember are going to have to be a part of this armored force if we are to win.The rest of you are needed to lead our agents in raids at all Team Rocket hideouts to weaken them.Giovanni has based his efforts on the Dark Duo,if we can stop them then Team Rocket will fall.I know you two aren't trained for this but neither is anybody else"the Boss said,making it clear that this was life and death.Adam looked at Joe,Kat,Bill and Steve.He could tell they were mad at having to stay behind while he and Ember got the most dangerous mission in the whole world.Ember was nervous too,but was confident.And Adam wasn't to give in to Team Rocket now.
"You can count on me sir,always"Adam boldly said.Smiling away any doubt he had.
"I'll second that"added Ember,matching Adam's courage.
"In that case Ember the flying suit of Inferno is yours.Based around a Charizard it can maneuver like a jet and shoots flames to temperatures that can melt steel"boasted Bill.Admiring his work.
Later. . . .
Ash with Pikachu walked into the locker room that Adam was now back at after being briefed on the plan of training he and Ember had to do.It wasn't easy.
"Hey Adam,can i talk to you for a sec?"'I hope he can help.I need to know what he thinks but i don't really know why he should care.But i have a feeling i can trust him' Ash thought to himself.He couldn't stand anymore being near Misty without feeling the urge to blurt his feelings out in the open.It became very uncomfortable.
"Hi Ash,Pikachu.Sure,fire away"replied Adam,relived to having a distraction from his worried thoughts.
"Well ah,waa i mean you and Ember have a close relationship right?You can talk freely to her"asked Ash,nervous about prying into Adam's private life.Adam was a little set back at first but then had an idea to where Ash was getting at.
"Sure,she's my best friend.I can tell her anything,why do you ask?"asked Adam,clipping his Pokéballs to his belt.
"Waaa you see there's this umm girl. . ."Ash said,trying not to choke on his words.
"Misty you mean"Adam said.Ash looked up from the ground from which he was staring at to protest.But he saw the knowing grin on Adam's face and after all this time,didn't bother to deny it.
"Well,yeah.I'v loved her since we first met and i'm going crazy not telling her.You seem to know how to talk to girls and frankly i need your advice"pleaded Ash,even getting on his knees.Adam shook his head in silent amusement and told Ash to get up.It was different between him and Ember,but the approach was the same.
"Ash you just have to tell her straight out how you feel.She,believe it or not looks up to you as a person and a trainer so that's a good start.Look,in a few days we're doing a concert to lift the civilians spirits and at the end i'll put on a nice slow dance song.You get Misty to dance with you,by the time the song's finished she'll be totally relaxed to see everything she likes about you.That will be the perfect time to tell her how you feel.You might think she'll turn you down but i really doubt that Ash.Even if she does,at least you got it off you chest and if she's any sort of a friend she woun't hold it against you"said Adam.Ash knew what Adam said had to be true,he knew Misty was the romantic type.He was going to do it.
"You are a life saver Adam,thank you.You're like the big brother i lost so long ago"cried out Ash,bursting to the brim with idea's to what to say to Misty.Adam gasped as he heard Ash's last words.How did he know?
"Y-your lost brother?"stuttered Adam,sweatdropping.
"Yeah. . . . . i found out when i was 9.My mom said he went missing when he was 7 and he was never found.I couldn't believe it that i had a older brother.I think about what he might have been liked.Maybe we could have gone on our journey's together.Now i'll never know"said Ash sadly,his head hung.Pikachu was sad too,whining a low chu.Adam was touched.Ash knew he had a brother and he wanted to know him,he was sad over someone he had never met.
I know,i read the report. . . . do you know what he looked like?"asked Adam.He was tired of deceiving Ash,he wanted him to know.
"Umm yeah, short white/blond hair,brown eyes,three years older then me. . ."Ash looked at Adam and saw the same things in him as he brother would look like now."Hey!You look at look like my brother did you know?"exclaimed Ash.Adam fell over at his younger brother stupidity.He sat back up and decided to spill.
"Ash. . . . i am your brother"said Adam in a calm voice.Ash gasped at the words.He couldn't believe it.Yet he knew the words were true.He was sitting next to his brother.
OH MY GOD HE KNOWS!.Round 4 will take place next on Pokéwarriors.What do you think Pikapal,Glider,Homer?I know the last two have read at least one of my parts.If you like the story PLEASE let me know.After the battles,P.A.T.A holds a concert of sorts for the trainers and Misty makes her feelings for Ash clear in her song.Ash rethinks about his feelings Adam and wonder if he should fight him. See ya chaps.
