Sorry for the long wait but to make a long story short what ever happened to my 5 chapters wasn't pretty so I'm re-writing them. Now onto the story!

Chapter 2: My New Pokemon! Geodude's Dazzling First Battle.

~*~
Holding each other, getting hurt, then loss...
Everyone hurts the one they hold most dear.
Anyway, I just can't understand
Being shackled with a promise... I can't put my finger on it...

Oraru opened his eyes and winced as sliver of light burned his eyes. 'Damn mornings' As he rolled out of the bed half-heartedly, the boy saw a calendar on the floor. (He actually had fallen on it and had gotten a paper cut above his left eyebrow but that was beside the point.) Flipping through it realized that it was June 28th, the day Misao had challenged him to a battle. 'How could I have forgotten?!' Racing down the stairs and getting ready at top speed, he failed to notice Toriko and his mother having a conversation.

"Hey O-chan, where yas goin'?" his mother asked as she poured the red head some tea.

"I've got a battle with Misao today! Where's my back pack?" Oraru replied as he ran up the stairs. Toriko couldn't help but giggle. Her Smoochum sat on her lap with a confused look. Noriko, the Ledyba, let a high shriek and carried a bag up the stairs. "Thanks Noriko! Now where's my pokeballs?" Crash! "Owww!"

"Thank goodness he isn't going to the Pokemon League any time soon," Toriko stated with a sweat drop rolling down her head.

Misao, a rather attractive looking bluenette, smirked as his long time rival, Oraru, raced to the field.

"Ready for our two on two battle?" Oraru nodded and Toriko raised a make shift flag over her head. "Winner gets one of the loser's pokemon and the red head." The girl let out a growl before dropping her arm down her side.

"Go Ryoko!" The blunette shouted releasing a great ball into the air. The red light that emerged from the ball formed a Raichu.

"Get 'em Geodude!" Oraru shouted as the rock pokemon flew out of his pokeball. Whipping out their pokedexes, both boys examined the data on the screen. "Tackle!"

"Rock Crusher!" Geodude hit first at Raichu's midsection, cutting off about 10% of Raichu's HP but half of his cut off from Rock Crusher.

'Oh no. He'll get KOed if he uses tackle again. Let's see' the boy thought. "Geodude, Dig!" The rock dug quickly underground before Raichu could attack.

"No problem. Ryoko Swift!" The electric mouse nodded but just as it did, she flew high into the air and landed with a loud thud. The cause was Geodude's Dig. Both trainers checked the HP meter. Ryoko had none due to her weakness of ground attacks "Fine, return Ryoko!" The mouse reverted to a red laser and quickly Misao took out another great ball and heaved it into the field. "Come out Omanyte!" When the pokemon emerged onto the field, it screeched its name horribly.

Oraru's eyes stared intently at the data as it loaded onto the screen. 'Water/Rock combo huh? Fossil!!! How'd he get a fossil? I heard only Team Rocket and scientists have them and I highly doubt he's a scientist.' "Geodude, avoid his water attacks and Dig!" The rock complied and burrowed again.

"Not that trick again!" Misao chuckled. "Okay Omanyte, do what we practiced." The pokemon nodded and started watching the ground.

'What did they practice?' Geodude burst from the ground but missed Omanyte as it jumped into the air. Suddenly a blast of water hit the rock pokemon. It fell to the ground as its HP depleted to zero. "Nuts, Geodude good work! Return! You know what to do Noriko!"

"Water Gun!" Misao hollered. The Omanyte fired about ten rounds of Water Gun. Luckily for Noriko, she easily dodged all of them using Agility and used a Leech Life on the fossil.

"Good work! Now confuse it with Supersonic!" Oraru ordered with much enthusiasm.

Toriko and her Smoochum watched the battle in awe. 'Sugoithey're good.'

"Omanyte, Horn Attack!" First, the pokemon withdrew into its shell. Suddenly the entrance aimed toward Noriko and a giant horn/missile was fired through the air. The bug pokemon had no time to dodge and was hit. She crashed into the earth and was only left with 1 Hit Point.

Oraru immediantly rushed up to the pokemon and looked sadly at it. "Here, go into the pokeball." The bug pokemon shook her head 'no'.

"You belong with Toriko," the bug stated. A light blush formed on Oraru's face.

"C'mon, don't let that stop you-"

"I won't lose to that fossil," Noriko interrupted. She got up but gritted her 'teeth' in agony as she rose and eventually rose above the ground. "You and me old man!"

"'Bout time, toots," the spiral pokemon replied before firing a water gun. She barely dodged before flying higher and higher.

"Please star of the day, lend me your power" Noriko murmured before a green light enveloped her. It was whispered so softly not even a dog pokemon like Houndoom could hear. "Solar"

Omanyte did his equivalent of raising an eyebrow. 'What does that chic think she's doing?'

"BEAM!!!!" A pillar of light slammed into Omanyte and left it with zip HP. Noriko and Oraru had won. Noriko collapsed into her trainer's arms and fainted.

"Fine, you win," Misao replied by tossing a pokeball onto the field. 'Good fight as always. Just wish I coulda won the red head.' Without saying another word, he left into Mo-ri-n Forest.

Again, sorry for it being late but at least it's here with what I hope is a decent battle. -_-' And let the foreshadowing begin!
