Well I couldn't figure out why my fic went so long without getting a single
friggen review, until I noticed how far down the list it was. I guess I'm
far from the only one to post new text recently! Good to see new work from
Dana, and also another author I have taken a peek at recently known as
Kawaii AAML Believer! Well I suggest you read their fics. Also I am
certain a particular few authors will hate me for getting Gary smacked, but
more will probably adore me for it. I'm certain I wrote him fairly in
character. Anyway there is this chapter, then two more until this fic is
DONE! I have honestly enjoyed being the author of this fanfiction, and it
seems a few other people enjoy it two. To address the ONE review I
received for posting the last chapter I will say this: I post when I get
the reviews, or when I am sick of waiting for them. It is not the least
bit of trouble for me to put out for my readers, so long as I am allowed to
know they are there. I plan to finish this fic in about a week's time, and
I am seriously considering posting a chapter tomorrow for what I consider
good reasons. Enjoy the chapter guys!

Chapter 8- The Mallet Falls!
Misty woke up slowly as she recalled the previous night's antics. She had looked beautiful, everyone had said so. She had danced with Ash, and he was so sweet. Then, then she had been in his arms for hours! To top it all off he had walked her up to the gym, and given her a kiss just like the ones in the movies! She was so happy! Then she fully opened her eyes, and the sunlight hit her like a Mack truck. Ouch, damned alcohol! Well the night had been almost perfect. She slowly rose from the warm comfort of her bed, and got an old orange robe out of the closet. She then slipped into her favorite bunny slippers as she decided to head downstairs.
Daisy hadn't seen Misty for the majority of the dance, and she and the other fabulous sisters had been left out of the loop the previous night as Misty was tired. Misty braced herself for the flood of questions she would face as she neared the bottom of the steps, but everything was quiet. She carefully entered the living room, but still nothing. Finally Misty went for it, and opened the kitchen door. Her three sisters sat around coffee and cappachino respectfully, and pretended she wasn't there. What the hell was wrong with them. "Good morning Misty." Daisy said, "It's about time you got up." Misty sighed as she sat down to begin her interrogation.
"Look guys it was honestly just a little mishap at the dance, and that's why Ash and I were not there for most of it." She said to her sisters, and she noticed the surprised look on their faces. "Did I say something wrong?" Misty asked. "No Misty, that's nice." Lily said happily. "We would love to interrogate you about it two." Violet said continuing the sentence for her sister. "There is only one problem." Daisy added as a final note. Misty erked at her sisters a little more before they gave up with the hinting and decided to let the obvious out into the open. "YOU CAN COME IN NOW GARY!" Violet, Lily, and Daisy said in an annoyed shout.
A second later the other door to the kitchen burst open, as Gary Oak barged in wearing full dress for battle. "Morning Mist! Time for our match!" He crowed as the red head jumped into the air at his arrival. Gary had waited over a week for the match, and that was breaking a record he didn't like to begin with. Misty began to yell at Gary for intruding on her in her robe and slippers, when the young man applied duck tape to her mouth and started shoving her towards the area of the gym with the arena. "Ash suggested that might come in handy." Gary said cheerfully as he went over battle strategy in his head. He knew Misty had her Gyrados now, and the match might be worthwhile now.
Misty still wasn't thinking about the match however. She was wondering how to apply the first blow from her mallet to Ash when she found him later. Then, before she knew it, both trainers were at the gym's battle area. Misty gave Gary a deep scowl, and shrieked as he pulled the duck tape off of her mouth. "No need to wax now huh Misty?" Gary asked her briskly, and this successfully set her from 'kill Ash' to 'murder Gary' mode. "You picked one hell of a way and time to have this match today Gary." Misty told him angrily as she picked up a gym pokeball from the wall, "You are going to regret it, deeply." Gary was going to crack a joke, when he saw Misty also had mallet in hand. Guess it was time for battle. This time Gary would pull his trump card last, and Misty would do the same most likely. "Voltorb go!" Gary yelled as he released the electric ball into the water. As funny as it may have seemed to some, the voltorb floated back to the surface and bobbed comically as it much resembled a bobber.
"I take it you want to get out a fishing line while I use a magicarp?" Misty asked Gary dryly and he shrugged. She sighed and threw the first pokeball. "Go Dewgong!" She cried as she dispatched the evolved seal pokemon into the pool. "There's your new ball dewgong, and you can play with it as hard as you want because it's Gary's." Misty ordered, and dewgong happily replied. Voltorb tried to roll away as dewgong came from below it, but it only spun in the water like a barrel. 'What could Gary be thinking?' Misty wondered as dewgong happily batted voltorb into the air. It certainly was comical. Maybe he was trying to be like Ash?
"Okay dewgong higher this time!" Misty shouted encouragement to the pokemon as dewgong awaited the return of Gary's pokemon from it's trip into the air. "Hang in there voltorb." Gary said as he kept cool. He definitely had some kind of a plan here. Dewgong received no resistance however as it batted the voltorb hard into the air. It hit the ball so hard that it went straight for the ceiling. Dewgong dived under water so it could really pop the ball when it did fall again, but that proved to be a mistake. "Voltorb use harden!" Gary shouted, and voltorb obeyed as it became rock solid. It crashed into the concrete roof without taking any damage, and started it's plummet downward. As it fell dewgong was shooting out of the water horn first to spike it.
It wasn't a pretty collision. Voltorb hit dewgong like a ton of bricks, and this allowed it to plow right through dewgongs attack driving it into the bottom of the pool after impact. The ensuing water spout was like a depth charge, and when it was over dewgong surfaced ko'd! Both trainers recalled their pokemon, and Gary gave his voltorb proper praise as he returned it. Misty frowned when she realized she had walked into that one. "Very good tactic Gary." She said humbly, but now things will get a LOT harder. Misty readied another pokeball, but changed her mind as she gave a small tap to her robe. There was a squeak and a chirp before a small yellow head popped out to address it's owner with a 'Pichu?'.
"Hi, are you ready to fight the mean man I told you about?" Misty asked as Poppy vigorously shook her head 'yes', "Poppy GO!"
**Yes folks, Poppy is going to kick arse now. Oh wait is she? Doh!**
Poppy hopped from the chest of Misty's robe onto the small platform provided in the gym's pool and eagerly awaited Gary's pokemon as electric sparks flew from her cheeks. All she received was a sweatdrop as Gary was now on the ground laughing like a maniac. Poppy chirped indignantly and looked to Misty who looked the other way bemusedly. Knowing full well her trainer wasn't really distracted, Poppy got the idea, as she proceeded to give Gary a nice thundershock. Gary instantly sat bolt upright and stared at Poppy. "You got her from Ash didn't you?" Gary asked Misty, and the red head laughed. "That no good little jerk told me there were only two!" Gary cried out in injustice, and as he began a rant Poppy looked to Misty curiously. 'Pichu?' Poppy asked cutely and Misty smiled.
"Never mind the psychotic Poppy that is only a friend of daddy's." Misty said happily. Poppy sighed and waited for her fight. After a while Gary did manage to compose himself enough to continue. When he had calmed down he pulled out another pokeball. "Machoke go!" Gary shouted as the big fighting type was released. It actually was a decent choice. It was big, and it could swim decent. Hopefully that would be enough to stomp Poppy. Figuratively of course. Gary wasn't THAT mean. Then again Poppy was most likely just too cute. "Okay Poppy you know what to do." Misty said, and the pichu held it's nose as it took a plunge into the pool. Gary watched it go slightly bemused.
"Misty WHAT are you doing?" Gary asked her. "Well there ARE air hoses down there Gary." Misty said, "Unless you want Poppy to get Machoke from below I suggest you have it follow her." Gary groaned as he cursed to himself. "Fine! Machoke go get the little runt, but do it before she can shock you too bad!" Gary advised his pokemon as it dove into the water after Poppy. Misty allowed herself a confident little smile. Poppy had one advantage in the water despite her electric attacks.
Machoke was starting to realize the advantage as he looked for the little mouse. The thing was so SMALL it couldn't see it in the water! Machoke swam around the pool for a bit as it looked out for the little mouse. Man there was nothing doing! Where was the pip-squeak?!
**That phrase fits Poppy well I think.**
Knowing it couldn't go up for air, machoke looked for a suitable air supply from one of the pipes. It quickly found a decent sized pipe, and it pried the lid off to get at the air. It got more than it expected however as it opened the lid to the pipe. 'Pichu!' Poppy greeted machoke with cheer, and a great big thunderbolt. Needless to say the big guy had been had. A moment later Gary was shocked when machoke floated to the surface soon after unconscious. "How in the world?" Gary asked as he saw Poppy spring out of the water onto the ledge. "Honestly Gary could YOU find anything this small in a pool?" Misty asked him teasingly, "Believe me, I found that one out a while ago!"
Gary sighed as he recalled his machoke, but he couldn't complain. The match would be settled between the two trump cards, and that was always more fun. "Did you have fun sweetie?" Misty asked Poppy as the mouse hopped up in down as it occasionally flashed the peace sign. Must have picked it up from a certain bad influence trainer. "Okay dear you need to come back now." Misty said, but Poppy only looked upset. That wasn't good. "Poppy, you need to come back now!" Misty said with more urgency as Gary readied his next pokemon. The little one only ignored her as it turned it's head away. Poppy wanted to fight Gary's stupid bird. After all, she was a better choice against a bird ne? "Poppy please come back right now!" Misty cried before she turned to Gary, "Gary please stop!" Gary looked at Misty not understanding as he threw out the pokeball containing Zaps.
Poppy took that as a sign to go, and she leaped at zapdos readying a thundershock. 'Oh shit!' Gary thought as he noticed his error. "Zapdos fetch attack now!" Gary shouted to the legendary bird. Misty didn't know what to think, but in an instant the fight was over. Zapdos flew gently back to Gary after the attack. It's work was done until the next order was given, and it was content. It gently deposited the pichu it had fetched by the scruff of it's neck into Gary's hand as the trainer stroked it's beak with his other. The bird loved it when it's beak got petted.
Gary set Poppy down on the ground, and the indignant mouse scampered around the pool to Misty, who was clutching her chest from the near heart attack she had about occur. Poppy leaped into her arms and gave her a happy smile, but Misty quickly quieted it when Poppy was again picked up by the scruff of her neck. "Don't try to butter me up!" Misty warned the pichu, "You and I both now what you did. We will talk on this later." Poppy gulped as a lump formed in her throat, and as she was put down she went to hide the mallet used for daddy. Just in case mom was really upset this time.
Gary laughed at Misty as she refocused on the young man. "Like mother and daughter." He quipped comically, and Misty frowned. "Don't say that just because we both kick your butt Gary." Misty warned, and he shrugged as he ignored the taunt. "Well Misty let's finish this!" Gary said, and at the raise in his voice zapdos picked up it's cue to go back into flight. "All right I can handle that." Misty said, "Hades go!" Gary cringed as the gyrados appeared before him. It was huge, red, and it looks matched it's name as it was now one hundred percent into a fighting mood. This was the guy who talked trash to nice girl. No one talked trash to nice girl, not even Hades.
Zapdos had a beloved owner, and Hades felt it couldn't EVER let Misty down for taking him. The two pokemon eyed each other, and you could literally feel the energy the two pokemon were exchanging. This was the real fight!
"I hope you trained that thing well Misty." Gary said, "I want a real good fight." Misty only smiled as she narrowed her eyes. "You're getting one Oak." She said vehemently.
~Fin.
Well there is another six page look at the future of pokemon! Two chapters left, but what does that mean? It means a lot of the plot is going to occur at once! I won't tell you the secrets though! I hope you can't wait for the next two chapter, and try to review people!
