Rebirth of Fate
Episode 7: Vs. Britt
"CHAAA -BOK!!"
"Pika!"
Pikachu lunges at Arbok and performs his common Thundershock, stunning the poison cobra. Arbok twists itself to recover and then begins to glare at Pikachu. The effect seems to blast Pikachu back and slightly dizzy it. Pikachu shakes it off.
"PikaaaaCCCHUUUU!!!" Pikachu unleashes a Thunderbolt, but the attack only barely touches Arbok. Using Confusion, Arbok channels the shock back to Pikachu, seemingly defeating it.
The mouse refused to be defeated.
"That's enough, you two." Keeli came out to the dueling pokémon. "Wait until my sister gets home. Good fighting, though."
Pikachu and Arbok nod at each other. All three headed inside. Pikachu could already feel his stomach rumbling from hunger, but it was usually Christen who cooked, not Keeli, so she was forced to wait until she got home...
Where the heck was she and Hitmonchan anyway?
****
"Tra -la-la-la-la!!" Christen was happily skipping on the trail back home. So far, it had been the best day of her life. Keeli was absolutely nowhere near her, so she couldn't manipulate crap of what she did. Though she had to be guarded by the family Hitmonchan (she's the only person in her family without physical powers.) she nevertheless had the most fun out in the park by herself, training her new baby pokémon, Smoochum, Elekid, and Cleffa.
Hitmonchan, on the other hand, was NOT having such a good day. Having to lose CONSTANTLY to a bunch of wimpy pokémon to "help them gain some levels" is no fun. Watching this bouncy brat sing annoying tunes that get stuck in his head also stinks. WHY did Keeli make him watch this chump? Why not Arbok?
Hitmonchan rolled his eyes to the heavens when Christen began singing "I'm a Little Teapot." He unfortunately forgot that Christen is more alert about her surroundings than Keeli is...
"HEY!" Christen yelled without looking back. "I SAW THAT!!!" Hitmonchan suffered a blow to an area I'd rather not talk about. He cringed from the blow. "You will NOT ruin my good day!"
"Hitmon..." Hitmonchan moaned.
Christen continued skipping back home like the little red riding hood. Hitmonchan clenched his teeth and hoped she would trip, or something. But much worse was about to happen to both of them...
"Hey kid, spare a nickel?" a shadowy voice questioned.
Christen grew nervous. "Where?..." she felt a presence right next to her, but couldn't see where it was... or who was it.
Suddenly, a hand clamped over her mouth. She tried to scream, but the hand had muffled most of her sounds.
Hitmonchan surged to action to defend Christen, but two mysterious pokémon double-teamed him, knocking him back and nearly unconscious. He sent a mind wave to Keeli, hoping she would hear it.
****
"What's taking those two so long?" Keeli paced back and forth through her living room, her three pokémon simply staring at her. "I would try to telecommunicate, but my powers there aren't so good..." she said as if talking to herself.
Out of the blue, Pikachu began to cock her head as if she were listening to something. It then began to panic. "Pika!" it cried, flailing its stubby arms at the rest of the crew.
"What's wrong?" Keeli asked, sensing worry.
"PIKA! Pi Pii Pika! PikaCHU!"
She understood. "WHAT?! My sister's in trouble?!"
"Pika!" she nodded.
"Urgh! Well, kids, it's time to prove yourselves! Come on, let's go!" but Pikachu was already out the door, racing towards the forest path. Keeli hoped she wasn't too late.
A short while later, Pikachu stopped at a couple of trees and a huge boulder in front of tall grass. Keeli and the others dashed to where she stood. "Pika!" Pikachu pointed to the tree to the right.
Keeli looked. Sure enough, Keeli saw Christen and Hitmonchan tied to a tree, being cornered by a rather tall black-haired girl. The girl was wearing a gray and back suit with a red letter "R" on the front. "Uh-oh..." Keeli braced herself for whatever was coming.
The tall girl noticed Keeli and stopped talking to Christen. "Hmm? So who are you? Wait! I know you... you're that girl who's been thwarting our plans lately... But enough about that. I've seen some awesome psychic powers from this girl right here," she shook her head towards Christen and Hitmonchan as if pointing to them, "and I intend to take her and this Hitmonchan to Boss Rocket..."
"I can't let you do that. I'll crush your pokémon instantly..."
"You must have no idea who I am. Allow me to introduce myself...
"Prepare for trouble and make it double.
"To wreak the world with devastation,
"To unite Team Rocket under this nation,
"To get rid of the evil that is truth and love
"To extend our wrath to the stars above.
"I am Brittany, elite member of the Rocket Sisters and Team Rocket, blasting of at the speed of light!(But you can call me Britt)
"Surrender now or prepare to fight.
"Speaking of fighting, my top fighting pokémon shall obliterate you... Go, Dark Hitmontop."
Britt casually flings her pokéball to unleash the fighter.
Keeli, without words, commands Pikachu to step out and give this chump a try.
Britt gloats. "A PIKACHU? HAH! This should be easy!" Pikachu takes a quick survey of Hitmontop. Dark Hitmontop didn't look any different from a normal one except...
"Hitmontop, Horn Attack." Britt commands. While jumping out the way, Pikachu realized after much disappointment of her own stupidity that this version stands upright! This powers up its attacks but makes it more vulnerable to...
"PIKA!" Pikachu jumps up and uses Confusion, smacking Dark Hitmontop's head on the ground twice. It staggers back up and moans from what Pikachu and Keeli knew was a headache.
"SAY WHAT? THAT PIKACHU IS PSYCHIC!!!" Britt exclaimed. "Then that must mean..."
Keeli grinned. "That girl you have hostage... I'm her sister."
Hitmontop's jaw slaps the ground. "HITMON??" Britt did the same. Both crashed to the ground (cue in cartoon RIP music).
"Urgh! That's it!" Britt brandished her other two pokéballs. "D. Hitmonchan! D. Hitmonlee! KILL THEM!!"
"You like to cheat? I do too..." Keeli unleashed Abra and Arbok. Both use Confusion on either Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee sending them crashing.
Britt then takes action herself. "Unlike the other sisters, I'm not infused with Mako... I'm just SUPER STRONG!!" Britt scores a High Jump Kick on Keeli, sending her back about 20 feet. Keeli staggers, than gains back he composure before throwing a Psybeam in Britt's direction. Britt blocks the blow but not all of the pain, causing her to slide back a couple of feet. Britt returns with Hi Jump Kick number 2 but this time Keeli blocks it.
"I have fighting moves of my own," Keeli double-kicks Britt in the face, but this only makes her furious...
Britt grabs Keeli by the neck and slings her into the other tree. Temporarily beaten, Keeli does nothing to retaliate.
"Kiss your little sister goodbye," Britt sneered. Unfortunately for her, Pikachu smacks her right in the face. Britt lets out a slow, guttural growl. She turns to the furious Pikachu. "You look a football, fresh enough to kick." Both bend down in football stance. "Down!" Britt yells, as if she's playing football. Pikachu snarls. "Set... HUT!" Faster than you could say "Pikachu," Britt punts the electric mouse to the sky.
One nearby the battlefield could hear a faint "PikaaaaPIIIIIIKAAAA!!!" as a yellow dot crossed the sky.
Outraged, Abra comes up and Tail Slaps Britt in- (no points for guessing). D. Hitmonlee comes to Britt's aid and kicks Abra to the stars to join Pikachu. Rubbing her face from both blows, Britt opens her eyes again just in time to see Keeli's Arbok use Dark Mind on her. What fun. Britt was then cursed with bright flashes as if she had her picture taken. Britt opened her eyes awhile later to see both D. Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee double-teaming Arbok. With satisfaction, she turns back to her prey-or so she thought.
Ready to pounce on Britt Keeli braced herself, then performed a drop kick on her unsuspecting victim. Britt crashes to the ground. D. Hitmonlee charges towards Keeli, but she blasts it back with a Psychic attack, knocking it out. Hitmonchan and Arbok were still fighting.
Britt returns with a Jump Kick, causing Keeli to crash into the large boulder. This for some reason takes out her strength, and she can barely move.
Britt seemed to take this in opportunity. With incredible strength, Britt lifts the boulder. "Goodnight, Keeli. Your anti-Team Rocket days are over..." With no psychic powers to shield herself and no pokémon to defend her, she was helpless as Britt threw the boulder on top of her.
Keeli was dead.
Or at least, she thought so.
Christen could feel it, or rather, she couldn't sense Keeli anymore. This thought seemed to push her brain in a never-before rage. She broke free of her bonds with a short psychic blast, and Hitmonchan, detecting something wrong, does so as well. Just as Britt returned from her evil deed, Christen came to face her.
"Uh-oh..." Britt seemed to feel impending doom. And she was going to get it, all right.
Focusing what little physical powers she had, Christen began to try and lift Britt, but her powers didn't hold out. Britt just laughed cruelly. "My, it's sad you don't have the powers your sister has, or should I say had." Her echoing laughter was enough for Christen to start bursting into tears. She buried her face, not wanting to see the evil face that had murdered her sister.
Those words Hitmonchan would never forget, nor that mocking laughter that seemed to forever ring in his ears. Hitmonchan wasn't going to let Britt get away with that, he was sure Keeli would have felt the same...
Keeli!
Urgh... Britt will pay with her life...
Channeling his anger into his fists, Hitmonchan charged towards Britt like a runaway freight train, screaming, "HITMOONNNCHAAANNNN!!!!" Despite the situation, he would always cherish that moment when he saw Britt's eyes, flared up like a deer in headlights. With a Dynamic Punch to her stomach, Hitmonchan sent Britt through one of the trees to the ground.
Hitmonchan spared no mercy, beating Britt to a bloody pulp was the only way he could settle his revenge.
Hitmonchan clutched Britt by the throat and aimed a final punch to do her face in. However, he was interrupted by the young Christen. "Don't, Hitmonchan! It's not worth it..." Hitmonchan stopped a moment, and registered the words in his brain. Considering what a young brat said and what Keeli would have said was indeed most difficult. But Hitmonchan saw Christen's pleading eyes, and also saw the sorry Hitmonlee flat against another tree. At last, he thought that she was right; it wasn't worth it.
But there was no one to stop him from making their lives miserable. Hitmonchan locked Britt, D. Hitmonlee and the Hitmonchan-wannabe bossing around Arbok. With one flick of the wrist, Hitmonchan sent the three skyward.
"Urgh, I may have assassinated a hero, but her cronies are too strong." Britt yelled to the three of them below. "You may have won this round, but we'll be back, and we'll be stronger, and we shall take care of you! YOU'LL BE SORRY!" And she disappeared into the sky with a *ding*.
Hitmonchan went to where the boulder was and landed a single punch that blew the whole boulder away. There he saw Keeli's body. Christen and a very confused Arbok soon joined him. Each of the pokémon paid their respects, then Christen showed up. She began sniffling. "S-she d-died trying t-t-to s-save me..." she then cried silently over her sister's body. Hitmonchan couldn't stand such sight and had to look away to keep from crying himself.
"Arbok?"
"Urgh... Ow..." Keeli seemed to regain consciousness. So she wasn't dead after all, only unconscious. "What happened? I thought I was dead..." she seemed slightly confused but mostly solemn.
"KEELI!" Christen hugged her sister in a death grip, and Hitmonchan was afraid that if she hugged any tighter, Keeli would die- again.
"Christen?" Keeli asked, puzzled. "Oh Christen!" she finally returned the bear hug.
Arbok slithered to Hitmonchan. "Charbokka Charrbok."
"Unbelievable..." Hitmonchan heard.
"What do you mean by that?" Hitmonchan asked him.
"I'd never thought she'd survive that... But I guess that's the power of a psychic..."
"Hey! I always believed she could make it through that!"
"Oh, yeah, sure you did," Arbok retorted.
"WHAT??!! HOW DARE YOU..." Hitmonchan grabbed Arbok in a headlock and repeatedly punched him until he caught sight of a battle weary Pikachu and Abra. He tossed Arbok away and came to greet the beginners. "Yo! How was the weather up there?"
"HEY!" Pikachu psi-punched Hitmonchan. "NOT FUNNY!"
"Yeah, you see how it feels when a steroid-pumped Hitmonlee sends you 50 miles in the air!" Abra rallied to Pikachu's cause.
"How come you guys didn't teleport back?" Hitmonchan asked.
"Didn't think of it. Being sent in the air has that bad of an influence on your brain!"
"You guys missed a lot. Master Keeli nearly passed away on us, but she regained her strength. In the mean time I kick Britt's butt."
"That explains the dark feeling we got on our way back," Pikachu explained to Abra. Abra nodded.
"Or maybe 'cuz you felt me," came a mysterious voice. D. Hitmontop emerged from the shadows. "It's time you felt the pain of Team Rocket and my brethren!"
"Hey! In case you didn't know, I'm a HERO Hitmonchan and I don't work for you." All three of Keeli's pokémon grinned. "Oh yeah, and by the way, your side lost."
A sweat drop had formed on Hitmontop's face as he realized that none of his teammates were there. And the two psychic were still standing... "Aw, man!" (cue in cartoon RIP music) "Guess I gotta go..." at that, he gave himself a swift kick in the rear and sent himself flying into the evening sky.
"HIIIITTMOONNNTOOOOPPPP!!!" it yelled at the top of its lungs as it soared into the evening sky.
Hitmonchan, Pikachu, and Abra dashed to Arbok and the now crying Christen and Keeli. The four pokémon escorted the two humans all the way home.
****
"I'm home!" Sabrina announced to the small household.
"MOMMY!" Christen cooed like a little baby and dashed to hug her mother Sabrina.
"Mother..." Keeli was unusually emotional on her encounter, she nearly cried as she hugged Sabrina. "Oh mother...!"
"I know, I know! I'm psychic, too. It seems you were rather courageous to risk your life and even nearly lose it to save your sister." All seven pokémon owned by the two sisters came in as an audience during Sabrina's talking. "Oh! I finally got your pokégear repaired." Sabrina said to Keeli. "It says that you missed a whooping 35 calls!" she giggled. "I bet you must have adoring fans."
A sweat drop formed on Keeli's head. "I bet. I think I should call one of them right now."
Keeli dialed Rob's number. After two rings, she switched to video mode as Rob appeared. "Hello?" Rob answered; utterly perplexed someone was calling him at night.
"Hi Rob." Keeli said teasingly.
"KEELI??!!" Rob blew up like a Typholsion on caffeine, his eyes about the size of dinner plates. "WHERE THE **** HAVE YOU BEEN??!! I'VE BEEN WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOUR SORRY ****!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE **** IS HAPPENING???!! THE ROCKET SISTERS ARE AFTER YOUR LAME ****!!!! YOUR **** COULD HAVE DIED BY NOW-"
"Actually, I came close..." Keeli said solemnly.
Rob got a cocky look. "See? Told ya so..."
Keeli became red hot. "IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW, MY POKEGEAR BROKE AND I HAD TO GET IT REPAIRED!!! OKAY??!!"
Rob's eye twitched and a sweat drop formed on his head. "Um...I'm sorry... But take heed. Watch your back, as there are more Rocket Sisters, and they very well intend to destroy us... and our friends and family. You must stop TR before they can retaliate and kill those important to us... Meet Taz and me in Goldenrod City as soon as possible! Oak said we have some business there to do... Good luck on your journey...
And goodbye..." Rob hung up. Keeli grumbled as she flicked the switch. It was in her best interest to follow directions anyway, even though she dreaded running into Rob. She decided to head out now. After all, barely escaping death made her far too nervous to sleep. Of course, the other members of the household already knew her plans. "Keeli! You CAN'T leave! After what just happened..." Christen cried.
"I must..." She gave her sister a final hug. She went to Sabrina. "Mom... It is my soul promise to be back..."
"You take care," she said, hugging Keeli. "We'll be looking after you..."
"Cleffa!" *POW* Keeli was smacked by a star held in Cleffa's hand. Keeli laughed, despite being hit by a glancing blow. "Cleffa! CLEFFA!" it seemed to be saying "Have good luck on your journey!"
"I will." Keeli turned to her four pokémon. "C'mon. It's time to go..." all of her pokémon nodded solemnly as they were put in their pokéballs.
"Goodbye everyone..." Keeli waved at her sister and mother, a tear making way from her right eye. She then headed out into a world unknown, not knowing her second adventure was underway.
That's it for Episode 7! Next Up!: Episode 8: No Need For MORE Archrivals
Keeli heads out wary of her last encounter with the bad guys, only to be challenged by a tricky trainer with a giant friggin' Snorlax! And what the heck is a Gila Mobster? It had better be weak against Psychic power, or Keeli's screwed! Stay tuned for the next episode of Rebirth of Fate!!
Episode 7: Vs. Britt
"CHAAA -BOK!!"
"Pika!"
Pikachu lunges at Arbok and performs his common Thundershock, stunning the poison cobra. Arbok twists itself to recover and then begins to glare at Pikachu. The effect seems to blast Pikachu back and slightly dizzy it. Pikachu shakes it off.
"PikaaaaCCCHUUUU!!!" Pikachu unleashes a Thunderbolt, but the attack only barely touches Arbok. Using Confusion, Arbok channels the shock back to Pikachu, seemingly defeating it.
The mouse refused to be defeated.
"That's enough, you two." Keeli came out to the dueling pokémon. "Wait until my sister gets home. Good fighting, though."
Pikachu and Arbok nod at each other. All three headed inside. Pikachu could already feel his stomach rumbling from hunger, but it was usually Christen who cooked, not Keeli, so she was forced to wait until she got home...

"I know, I know! I'm psychic, too. It seems you were rather courageous to risk your life and even nearly lose it to save your sister." All seven pokémon owned by the two sisters came in as an audience during Sabrina's talking. "Oh! I finally got your pokégear repaired." Sabrina said to Keeli. "It says that you missed a whooping 35 calls!" she giggled. "I bet you must have adoring fans."
A sweat drop formed on Keeli's head. "I bet. I think I should call one of them right now."
Keeli dialed Rob's number. After two rings, she switched to video mode as Rob appeared. "Hello?" Rob answered; utterly perplexed someone was calling him at night.
"Hi Rob." Keeli said teasingly.
"KEELI??!!" Rob blew up like a Typholsion on caffeine, his eyes about the size of dinner plates. "WHERE THE **** HAVE YOU BEEN??!! I'VE BEEN WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOUR SORRY ****!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE **** IS HAPPENING???!! THE ROCKET SISTERS ARE AFTER YOUR LAME ****!!!! YOUR **** COULD HAVE DIED BY NOW-"
"Actually, I came close..." Keeli said solemnly.
Rob got a cocky look. "See? Told ya so..."
Keeli became red hot. "IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW, MY POKEGEAR BROKE AND I HAD TO GET IT REPAIRED!!! OKAY??!!"
Rob's eye twitched and a sweat drop formed on his head. "Um...I'm sorry... But take heed. Watch your back, as there are more Rocket Sisters, and they very well intend to destroy us... and our friends and family. You must stop TR before they can retaliate and kill those important to us... Meet Taz and me in Goldenrod City as soon as possible! Oak said we have some business there to do... Good luck on your journey...
And goodbye..." Rob hung up. Keeli grumbled as she flicked the switch. It was in her best interest to follow directions anyway, even though she dreaded running into Rob. She decided to head out now. After all, barely escaping death made her far too nervous to sleep. Of course, the other members of the household already knew her plans. "Keeli! You CAN'T leave! After what just happened..." Christen cried.
"I must..." She gave her sister a final hug. She went to Sabrina. "Mom... It is my soul promise to be back..."
"You take care," she said, hugging Keeli. "We'll be looking after you..."
"Cleffa!" *POW* Keeli was smacked by a star held in Cleffa's hand. Keeli laughed, despite being hit by a glancing blow. "Cleffa! CLEFFA!" it seemed to be saying "Have good luck on your journey!"
"I will." Keeli turned to her four pokémon. "C'mon. It's time to go..." all of her pokémon nodded solemnly as they were put in their pokéballs.
"Goodbye everyone..." Keeli waved at her sister and mother, a tear making way from her right eye. She then headed out into a world unknown, not knowing her second adventure was underway.
