Episode 4: I choose you, Zeal! Huh? (Part one)
By Krissy Maxwell and (later on) Dark Knight Zero
A soft moan broke the silence in the early morning as a young girl turned over in a tangle of sheets, hiding her face under a pillow from the rays of light that peered through an open window. The elfin trainer opened her blurry, blue eyes and pushed a few locks of her pink and purple hair behind her pointed ears. Slowly pushing herself on to her elbows, Krissy blinked the sleep from her eyes and looked around the well-lighted room. "Duo?" She whispered, wondering where her bunch of bish were, also a bit curious as to where she was herself.
The door to her room opened. "Morning, babe." Duo greeted his trainer with a trademark Maxwell grin, holding a tray in his hands as he approached her. "I got ya some breakfast." He smiled widely, setting the tray on Krissy's lap.
Krissy's eyes suddenly glazed over with hunger as she stared at the many treats for her to scarf down and wordlessly, she began to dig in to her meal. "Thanks, Duo." Krissy said in between chewing. "So, where are we anyway?" She motioned to the nice room she was in. Duo's smile widened (if that was possible).
"We made it to Scarlet town last night and we checked into the hotel." Duo stated as Krissy's eyes lit up.
"That's great! But-" She paused, noticing that her other Bishonen were no where in sight and her bishie-balls were missing from her belt. "Where's Gohan, Brock and James?"
"Oh, they're downstairs eating. Thank god it's an all you can eat bar."
Krissy and Duo had a good laugh and Krissy smiled, pulling the blanket off of her. She swung her legs over the edge of the bed and pushed herself to her feet, stretching her arms behind her. "Mm.felt good to sleep in a real bed. And I think I'm going to take a long, hot bath." Krissy said, turning to Duo.
Duo nodded and got up. "Then I'll leave ya alone." He said, slipping his hands into his pockets and strolling over to the door, his braid bouncing happily behind him. "See ya downstairs, Krissy." He called.
"Hai." Smiling as Duo closed the door behind him, Krissy quickly stripped and headed into the bathroom attached to the bedroom. Closing the door as she entered, she reached to the side and switched on the light.
Krissy grinned warmly as she turned the knob over the tub and waited for the water to rise and the temperature to be just right. When it was filled to her liking, Krissy turned off the faucet and slipped into the water slowly, letting her body adjust to the heat. The elfin girl sighed, sitting back into the tub, feeling the hot water seep into her skin and rolling her head gently around her neck to relax.
Krissy grabbed a bar of soap and scrubbed her self all over, the beads of water on her tanned skin mixing with the soap, making bubbles that tingled against her skin. Grinning, Krissy dunked her herself into the depths of the tub, washing away the soap and wetting her hair.
There was a knock as the door. "Krissy?"
Krissy moaned as her wonderful silence was broken and she ran a hand through her long, dripping hair. "What, Gohan?"
"Guess what I found out?" He said, cheerfulness in voice.
"Nani?" Krissy mumbled.
"Well, seems that this town's a great place to be if you're a trainer. This town's got a huge Bishonen center and there's a gym here."
"NANI?!" Gohan jumped back from the door with a yelp at Krissy's scream, his eyes wide in shock. "Did you say there was a gym here?" Krissy asked excitedly.
"H-Hai." He stammered, inching closer to the door again.
There was silence for a moment before Gohan heard a girlish squeal from the other end of the door. "Alright! Arigato, Gohan-chan."
The saiya-jin sighed in relief and smiled. "No problem. I'll go tell Duo that we'll be heading out in a little while."
Krissy heard Gohan's footsteps disappear and she quickly finished washing. Grabbing a towel, she wrapped it around her slim frame as she got out of the tub and exited the bathroom, picking up her backpack on the way to the bed. Looking through it, Krissy began throwing things out of her way until she found an outfit she liked, pulling out a white tank top and blue flare jeans.
"A Bishonen Gym, huh?" She mused as she changed quickly and grabbed her belt from the nightstand, fastening it around her waist and letting it hang low like she always did. "This should be fun."
Duo drummed his fingers against the wooden table in the dinning room as the kid and two pokemon trainers continued to gobble down endless amounts of food. He would have been stuffing his face as well but since he found out that Krissy wanted to go to the gym, he was too excited to eat (something very rare to any Maxwell Bishonen). 'A real gym battle', Duo thought to himself, looking to see if that was Krissy walking toward them. 'Nope, damn.', he sighed as some random trainer walked by; her Taichi behind her.
"Hi, boys!" He looked up again and there was Krissy, walking into the room, still brushing out her hair. "Sorry it took so long. I just couldn't pull myself away from the bath." She beamed, sitting next to the deathscythe pilot and ignoring the nosebleed her Brock was trying to hide.
"Well then, let's go." Duo said, grabbing Krissy's hand and hurriedly dragging her out of the hotel; dropping a tip that he took from Krissy's wallet, off at the front desk.
"What the-" Brock began, wondering why Duo had pulled their trainer out the door like that. Gohan just shrugged and hopped off his seat, heading for the door.
"But I'm not done." James whined, trying to shovel his entire plate into his mouth as Brock grabbed him by the waist and pulled him along.
~~~}~@ @~{~~~
"Domo arigato gozaimashita!" Krissy called over her shoulder as she walked out of the bishie-mart with a large bag in hand. "Alright. So I bought some extra bishie-balls and I still have enough money to buy us lunch." She beamed, walking beside her Bishonen.
The group of bishies cheered at the mentioning of food.
"Good, cause I'm gonna need all the food I can get before I have to battle." Gohan grinned, bouncing along the road.
"Me too." James replied.
Krissy laughed, latching her arm around James'. "See, James? It's not so bad being with us, now is it." She winked, patting him on the back.
James just shrugged, grinning childishly. "Well, it has its moments. Jessie never let me eat like this."
"So, where do you guys wanna eat?" Krissy asked, pulling a town map out of her bag. "We can eat at one of the shops in town or we can go to that huge Bishonen center everyone keeps talking about."
"I vote, Bishonen center!" Gohan cheered.
"Sounds good to me. I'm thinking burgers or somethin'." Duo mused to himself, licking his lips.
Krissy's eyes suddenly glazed over, her mouth watering. "Mmm.burgers."
As the group began to approach the massive Bishonen center, the smell of the outdoor, food court began to grow and soon the group of bish found themselves without a trainer.
"Krissy?" Brock called, wondering how she managed to disappear so fast.
Duo rolled his eyes with a smirk, spotting the elfin girl drooling in front of the buffet. "She's over there." He pointed in Krissy's direction, watching her begin to squeal for some reason. "Damn, I don't even think they have burgers at this joint."
"Duo, stop complaining. They have stir fry!" Krissy cried, grabbing a tray and jumping into the line in front of her.
"STIR FRY!" Duo's eyes immediately lit up and the group of Bishonen were off, kicking dust up behind them and racing to get to the buffet so that they could have their lunch.
Krissy grinned madly, starring at all the stir-fry in front of her and pulling out her wallet from her bag for when it was her turn to order. James and Brock had their faces planted up against the plastic window that lead to the kitchen, their eyes sparkling at the sight before them. "See," Krissy said triumphantly. "I told you, you'd be happy.oh, kami." Krissy's bish turned and gave their trainer a strange look as she suddenly gasped.
"Nan da?" Duo asked.
"ODEN!!!!!" Krissy screamed, her eyes wide and mouth gaping. "Gotta go guys! Ja!"
"Krissy, where are you going?!" Duo yelled after his crazed trainer as she once again took off, this time in the direction of a small oden stand, dropping the empty tray and her wallet on the ground. "You have to pay for our stir fry."
"I'll do it later! Right now, ODEN, ODEN, ODEN!!!" And before Duo could say another word, she was gone in a cloud of dust.
~~~}~@ @~{~~~
"Kami, I'm full." Krissy sighed, licking her lips and whatever was left on her fingers from lunch. "There is nothing more satisfying then a good meal.I just love oden."
"Really? I wouldn't have guessed by the way ya just ran off without us." Duo said sarcastically, receiving a playful jab in the arm.
Krissy smirked. "Arigato, Duo. Anyway, it's time to go find us some more Bishonen." Krissy smiled and cracked her knuckles, heading in the direction of the wooded area of town, according to the map she had.
"Why do you need more, Krissy?" Brock asked.
"Cause I plan on winning at the gym that's here, and if we're gonna win, we may need more Bishonen to choose from. Plus, you guys need the training." The blue-eyed girl said matter 'o factly, then running ahead. "Hey, the woods are over there! Let's do it!" She yelled, taking off through the trees that lined the edge of the forest. Duo laughed, running to catch up with the elfin trainer.
The half saiya-jin shook his head. "He's so obvious." Gohan chuckled, looking up at Brock. He frowned, noticing that the Bishonen looked a little down. "What's wrong with you?"
Brock continued to mope as they neared the forest. "Once again, I lost my chances to be with a really cute girl." He sighed. Gohan sweatdropped.
Krissy suddenly came to a quick halt, turning around on her heels and tapping her foot on the ground impatiently. "A little faster, boys?"" She called, holding her hands to her mouth. "I'm going to need you guys if I see any Bishonen."
"Okay, okay." Gohan said, speeding up to join Krissy by her side, Brock and James close behind.
Krissy smiled, taking the young Bishonen's hand. "Okay, so where are those Bishies." She muttered to herself, searching the area in front of them quickly. "Gohan, if I need you, you'll be the first to battle." Gohan smirked, ready to go if Krissy gave him the word.
"Hey Krissy, what's that?" Duo asked, pointing into the distance ahead of them.
Krissy held a hand over her eyes, trying to see, when her eyes shot up and her mouth dropped open as she began to drool. "I don't know, but that looks like a Bishonen." She murmured, mesmerized by the guy standing near a tree, completely oblivious to their presence. The elfin girl pulled an empty ball from her black, leather belt and held in tightly in her hand. She motioned for her Bishonen to stay low and follow her as she slowly stalked up to the tree behind the boy wearing jeans and cool, cut off gloves.
Without warning, Krissy sprang from behind the tree and threw the bishie- ball at the boy's head. The guy yelped before the ball bashed into his skull and he fell over to the ground, a large bump rising on his head and his eyes going swirly as he groaned on the floor. Krissy frowned. "Hey, how come he didn't go into the ball? Did I do something wrong?" She picked up the ball again, trying to figure out what happened before the Bishonen woke up again.
But while she was thinking, the boy slowly got back on his feet with the help of a girl that looked like a Jiyu Bishoujo, feeling slightly dazed. "Did I just get hit in the head by a Bisho-Ball?" He asked himself. He then looked around and saw what appeared to him to be an elfin Bishoujo with pink and purple hair, who was staring at him, evilly.
"Okay buddy, what did you do to my bishie-ball? I just bought these and you're suppose to be sucked in!" Krissy growled when she realized the boy was looking at her; her fists resting firmly on her hips. She narrowed her eyes, still wondering why the guy wasn't now trapped in her bishie-ball. Duo cleared his throat from behind her, taping her shoulder. "What?" She barked, not bothering to turn to her bish, annoyed written all over her face.
"Um...Krissy, I think this guy isn't a Bishonen." He said.
The boy rubbed his head and suddenly an Edward Bishoujo jumped out of now where and landed right on his head, saying, "Edward is hungry." The boy once again fell over from the sudden change in weight and fell flat on his face.
"Don't do that Edward," The Jiyu Bishoujo said.
Krissy and her bishies sweatdropped. "Okay..." Krissy mumbled under her breath, watching the odd display in front of her. Scratching her elfin ear, her head drooped. "Wait, I'm confused. Since when can Bishonen train Bishoujo...?"
"Krissy, that's what I've been trying to tell you. This guy doesn't look like a-" Duo was suddenly cut off as Krissy stormed up to the boy, grabbing a hold of his shirt and pulling him up.
"So, who are you anyway? Ya don't look like any Bishonen I've seen."
The guy looked at her and said, "You know I have a little secret." He moved closer to Krissy's elfin ear and said softly, "I'm not a Bishonen." He then pulled his shirt out of her grip and backed away.
"Edward is still hungry," The Edward said again.
The boy pulled out a Kit Kat bar out of his pocket and threw it aside saying, "Fetch." Edward quickly chased after it.
Krissy watched the Bishoujo run off and then turned back to the boy, looking slightly embarrassed. "Oh...So, you're not a Bishonen, huh?" She quickly turned to Duo and yelled, "Why didn't you tell me?!"
"Hey, don't look at me, babe. I tried to tell you." The braided Bishonen stated, holding up his hands in front of him in defense.
Gohan nodded back, standing next to the gundam pilot and sighing up at his trainer. "It's true Krissy-chan. He did try to tell-" Krissy held her hand up, motioning for Gohan to be quiet, her face turning an even brighter shade of red.
Slowly, Krissy faced the boy again. She laughed nervously and said, "I-I'm Sorry for hitting you on the head. You just looked like a Bishonen. I'm sorry if I hurt you." Krissy frowned, half because she had just made a fool of herself in front of a guy and also because her hope of catching a Bishonen was just smashed.
"Hey, don't look so gloom." The guy said. "Anyway, I can take it." He then sits down. "Anyway, I think I'll take your mistaking me as a Bishonen, a compliment. I had almost mistaken you for a Bishoujo, if it wasn't for your Duo."
Edward suddenly crept up behind James and screamed, "BOO!!" James shrieked like a little girl at the short Bishoujo and ran madly for the first tree he saw, climbing it as fast as he could. She then fell back, twirling and hitting the ground, laughing.
The guy looked at Edward for a moment. "Er...anyway. I was about to stop and make camp so I could eat and this place is good as any. Want to join me?"
Edward suddenly got up to her feet and ran up to him like a puppy dog and said, "Edward heard someone say food."
At the mentioning of food, Krissy's Bishonen's heads shot up, their mouths wide.
Krissy sweatdropped, taking a seat next to the boy and smiled. "Sure, I'd love to. But watch out, these boys will eat ya clean out of food. Even though they just ate a little while ago." She said, giggling and holding out her hand. "By the way, my name's Krissy Maxwell." Brock and Gohan cleared their throats and Krissy laughed, looking behind her. "And these boys over here are my Bishonen, along with that whimpering Bish in the tree."
"Hey!" James whined from his place in the tree, slowly climbing his way back down.
The mystery boy sat there for a moment then said, "Maxwell? As in the surname of your Bishonen over there?" He pointed at Duo then started to laugh at the mere irony in it. "Which I bet is your favorite Bisho."
"You bet he is. I think it's just fate that we have the same last name, don't you think so, Duo?" Krissy replied, giggling lightly at her joke, oblivious to the bright blush running across Duo's face. "Anyway, what's your name? I haven't met any Bishoujo trainers before."
The boy felt a bit embarassed that he hadn't introduce himself and stood up. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize I haven't told you my name. It's Velo. Zeal Velo (Double O Zeal). And these are my two Bishoujo, Jubei-chan and Edward." He said then gave a sort of bow.
"Hello." Jiyu said.
"Anyway, about the food." Zeal pulled out a few things out of his pack as well as a bowl of cold rice. "I hope you don't mind. I ran out of actual food a while back." Zeal took a bit of the rice and made a nice rice ball and handed it to Krissy.
Krissy smiled, nodding back formally and then leaning casually against Duo, who was now sitting next to her. "Thanks Zeal. It looks great." She said, taking a bite. "Oh yeah guys, do we still have any stir fry left from lunch?" The elfin girl called over her shoulder to her group of Bish lounging about.
Brock grabbed Krissy's bag and opened it up, looking inside. "Yup, we've still got a good amount left." He said, handing Krissy her bag.
Krissy beamed as she took the bag, her eyes sparkling with that all too familiar hungry look. "Well Zeal, would ya like some? It's real tasty. And I bet it's still warm." She giggled, passing out chopsticks and a few containers of stir-fry to her Bishonen, then taking one for herself. "Come on, we'll share. And ya don't ever have to give me a tip." She winked.
"Sure," Zeal replied and took some stir-fry for himself. After eating a good amount he fell back and sighed. "That was good. All it is missing is some Sake to wash it down with."
Edward then fell back after she had finished a good amount, eating almost as much as Zeal did. Jiyu smiled a little as she finished her meal off, which was a rice ball and what stir-fry was left that no one took.
Zeal sat up again and said, "So what are you guys doing out here?"
Krissy set down the empty stir fry container and pulled off a bishie-ball from her belt, twirling it on her finger. "Well, we came out here to find more Bishonen so I could battle at the gym in Scarlet town. I've only got four so far and I figure, ya need more than four Bishonen to become a Bishonen master, right?" She sighed, and turned slightly to see James and Gohan fighting over some leftovers. "Though sometimes I wonder if these guys are just good for eating, not battling."
At her comment, her bish gave her an annoyed look, including Duo and she just laughed, covering her mouth with her hand. "Funny Krissy." Duo snorted.
"I'm sorry Duo." She said. "What about you, Zeal?"
"Well, I wanted to become a Bishoujo trainer and it pretty much beat hanging at home," Zeal started, "So I've been going around. I only caught two Bishoujo so far but I did win my first Bishoujo badge." Zeal pulled out the badge from his back pocket and showed Krissy it. "Both my Bishoujo can fight but sometimes I wonder if Edward is really a waste disposal type. She's eaten everything me and Jubei-chan haven't."
Edward suddenly popped up from above, hanging on a branch. "Edward's ears are burning," she said with her half-wit smile. "Edward wants desert."
"See what I mean?"
Krissy laughed, her bright, blue eyes sparkling as she looked up at the tree. "I sure can," She paused, sighing. "Ya know, that badge is really impressive. Hopefully with a little more training, I'll be able to win a bunch of Bishonen badges. But first I gotta beat this town." She said, leaning against Duo again.
"And you know I'll do my best to make sure you win." The braided bish replied, smiling at his trainer.
"Thanks, Duo." She smiled, chuckling lightly and pushing a lock of her pink hair behind her ear.
"Training, neh?" Zeal responded, slightly twitching his ears. "How about I send my Bishoujo up against your Bishonen and see who can fair better in a match? Two on two, giving the fact I only have two." He jumped quickly to his feet and Edward dropped right in front of him.
"Edward is hungry," she said.
"BUT YOU JUST ATE!!" Zeal grabbed a box of pocky; a Japanese snack with unsalted pretzels dipped in a sort of frosting, and threw it at her. Quickly Edward tore into the box and ate all the little pretzel sticks then got to her feet quickly.
"Sounds like fun to me." Krissy grinned, getting up dramatically and flashing the V sign. "A two on two battle it is." Grabbing a bishie-ball from her belt, the elfin girl turned to her Bishonen who all looked ready to go, with the exception of James, and said, "You guys think you're up to it?"
Her Bishonen cheered behind her, Duo smirking as he pulled his gun out of his pocket, twirling it on his index finger. "Give us the word, Krissy."
"Good." Krissy said with a racy glint in her eye. She took of her trench coat, throwing it to the side and smiled. "You ready Zeal?"
Zeal quickly jumped to his feet. "Ready, willing, and able," he commented then added, "Wait something about that didn't sound right. Anyway, what two are you sending out?"
Krissy giggled at his comment, then shook her head, bringing herself back to reality. "Um...I think for this battle, I'll be fighting with Gohan and Duo."
"Me, Krissy-chan?" Gohan asked, sounding shocked and pointing to himself.
"You betcha, kiddo. You're gonna have to battle if you want to be really strong. I'm gonna need you to be strong for me."
Gohan's face lit up. "You can count on me."
"So Zeal," Krissy began, turning her attention back to the Bishoujo trainer in front of her, gripping Gohan's bishie-ball in her tight grip. "Send out your first fighter and let's party." She smirked, flipping her hair over her shoulder.
"Well," Zeal started and thought for a moment. "I think Edward should be first. She does seem ready to... er... fight or at least eat them." Zeal laughed a little at the thought of Edward eating a Bishonen sandwich.
"Alright, then. Gohan, you're up." Krissy said, patting Gohan on the back and slightly pushing the nervous boy in front of her. "Don't worry Gohan, you'll do fine." The half saiya-jin smiled half-heartedly and turned to face Zeal and his Bishoujo.
Zeal pointed at Gohan and yelled, "Edward, fetch."

"I told you, you'd be happy.oh, kami." Krissy's bish turned and gave their trainer a strange look as she suddenly gasped.
"Nan da?" Duo asked.
"ODEN!!!!!" Krissy screamed, her eyes wide and mouth gaping. "Gotta go guys! Ja!"
"Krissy, where are you going?!" Duo yelled after his crazed trainer as she once again took off, this time in the direction of a small oden stand, dropping the empty tray and her wallet on the ground. "You have to pay for our stir fry."
"I'll do it later! Right now, ODEN, ODEN, ODEN!!!" And before Duo could say another word, she was gone in a cloud of dust.
~~~}~@ @~{~~~
"Kami, I'm full." Krissy sighed, licking her lips and whatever was left on her fingers from lunch. "There is nothing more satisfying then a good meal.I just love oden."
"Really? I wouldn't have guessed by the way ya just ran off without us." Duo said sarcastically, receiving a playful jab in the arm.
Krissy smirked. "Arigato, Duo. Anyway, it's time to go find us some more Bishonen." Krissy smiled and cracked her knuckles, heading in the direction of the wooded area of town, according to the map she had.
"Why do you need more, Krissy?" Brock asked.
"Cause I plan on winning at the gym that's here, and if we're gonna win, we may need more Bishonen to choose from. Plus, you guys need the training." The blue-eyed girl said matter 'o factly, then running ahead. "Hey, the woods are over there! Let's do it!" She yelled, taking off through the trees that lined the edge of the forest. Duo laughed, running to catch up with the elfin trainer.
The half saiya-jin shook his head. "He's so obvious." Gohan chuckled, looking up at Brock. He frowned, noticing that the Bishonen looked a little down. "What's wrong with you?"
Brock continued to mope as they neared the forest. "Once again, I lost my chances to be with a really cute girl." He sighed. Gohan sweatdropped.
Krissy suddenly came to a quick halt, turning around on her heels and tapping her foot on the ground impatiently. "A little faster, boys?"" She called, holding her hands to her mouth. "I'm going to need you guys if I see any Bishonen."
"Okay, okay." Gohan said, speeding up to join Krissy by her side, Brock and James close behind.
Krissy smiled, taking the young Bishonen's hand. "Okay, so where are those Bishies." She muttered to herself, searching the area in front of them quickly. "Gohan, if I need you, you'll be the first to battle." Gohan smirked, ready to go if Krissy gave him the word.
"Hey Krissy, what's that?" Duo asked, pointing into the distance ahead of them.
Krissy held a hand over her eyes, trying to see, when her eyes shot up and her mouth dropped open as she began to drool. "I don't know, but that looks like a Bishonen." She murmured, mesmerized by the guy standing near a tree, completely oblivious to their presence. The elfin girl pulled an empty ball from her black, leather belt and held in tightly in her hand. She motioned for her Bishonen to stay low and follow her as she slowly stalked up to the tree behind the boy wearing jeans and cool, cut off gloves.
Without warning, Krissy sprang from behind the tree and threw the bishie- ball at the boy's head. The guy yelped before the ball bashed into his skull and he fell over to the ground, a large bump rising on his head and his eyes going swirly as he groaned on the floor. Krissy frowned. "Hey, how come he didn't go into the ball? Did I do something wrong?" She picked up the ball again, trying to figure out what happened before the Bishonen woke up again.
But while she was thinking, the boy slowly got back on his feet with the help of a girl that looked like a Jiyu Bishoujo, feeling slightly dazed. "Did I just get hit in the head by a Bisho-Ball?" He asked himself. He then looked around and saw what appeared to him to be an elfin Bishoujo with pink and purple hair, who was staring at him, evilly.
"Okay buddy, what did you do to my bishie-ball? I just bought these and you're suppose to be sucked in!" Krissy growled when she realized the boy was looking at her; her fists resting firmly on her hips. She narrowed her eyes, still wondering why the guy wasn't now trapped in her bishie-ball. Duo cleared his throat from behind her, taping her shoulder. "What?" She barked, not bothering to turn to her bish, annoyed written all over her face.
"Um...Krissy, I think this guy isn't a Bishonen." He said.
The boy rubbed his head and suddenly an Edward Bishoujo jumped out of now where and landed right on his head, saying, "Edward is hungry." The boy once again fell over from the sudden change in weight and fell flat on his face.
"Don't do that Edward," The Jiyu Bishoujo said.
Krissy and her bishies sweatdropped. "Okay..." Krissy mumbled under her breath, watching the odd display in front of her. Scratching her elfin ear, her head drooped. "Wait, I'm confused. Since when can Bishonen train Bishoujo...?"
"Krissy, that's what I've been trying to tell you. This guy doesn't look like a-" Duo was suddenly cut off as Krissy stormed up to the boy, grabbing a hold of his shirt and pulling him up.
"So, who are you anyway? Ya don't look like any Bishonen I've seen."
The guy looked at her and said, "You know I have a little secret." He moved closer to Krissy's elfin ear and said softly, "I'm not a Bishonen." He then pulled his shirt out of her grip and backed away.
"Edward is still hungry," The Edward said again.
The boy pulled out a Kit Kat bar out of his pocket and threw it aside saying, "Fetch." Edward quickly chased after it.
Krissy watched the Bishoujo run off and then turned back to the boy, looking slightly embarrassed. "Oh...So, you're not a Bishonen, huh?" She quickly turned to Duo and yelled, "Why didn't you tell me?!"
"Hey, don't look at me, babe. I tried to tell you." The braided Bishonen stated, holding up his hands in front of him in defense.
Gohan nodded back, standing next to the gundam pilot and sighing up at his trainer. "It's true Krissy-chan. He did try to tell-" Krissy held her hand up, motioning for Gohan to be quiet, her face turning an even brighter shade of red.
Slowly, Krissy faced the boy again. She laughed nervously and said, "I-I'm Sorry for hitting you on the head. You just looked like a Bishonen. I'm sorry if I hurt you." Krissy frowned, half because she had just made a fool of herself in front of a guy and also because her hope of catching a Bishonen was just smashed.
"Hey, don't look so gloom." The guy said. "Anyway, I can take it." He then sits down. "Anyway, I think I'll take your mistaking me as a Bishonen, a compliment. I had almost mistaken you for a Bishoujo, if it wasn't for your Duo."
Edward suddenly crept up behind James and screamed, "BOO!!" James shrieked like a little girl at the short Bishoujo and ran madly for the first tree he saw, climbing it as fast as he could. She then fell back, twirling and hitting the ground, laughing.
The guy looked at Edward for a moment. "Er...anyway. I was about to stop and make camp so I could eat and this place is good as any. Want to join me?"
Edward suddenly got up to her feet and ran up to him like a puppy dog and said, "Edward heard someone say food."
At the mentioning of food, Krissy's Bishonen's heads shot up, their mouths wide.
Krissy sweatdropped, taking a seat next to the boy and smiled. "Sure, I'd love to. But watch out, these boys will eat ya clean out of food. Even though they just ate a little while ago." She said, giggling and holding out her hand. "By the way, my name's Krissy Maxwell." Brock and Gohan cleared their throats and Krissy laughed, looking behind her. "And these boys over here are my Bishonen, along with that whimpering Bish in the tree."
"Hey!" James whined from his place in the tree, slowly climbing his way back down.
The mystery boy sat there for a moment then said, "Maxwell? As in the surname of your Bishonen over there?" He pointed at Duo then started to laugh at the mere irony in it. "Which I bet is your favorite Bisho."
"You bet he is. I think it's just fate that we have the same last name, don't you think so, Duo?" Krissy replied, giggling lightly at her joke, oblivious to the bright blush running across Duo's face. "Anyway, what's your name? I haven't met any Bishoujo trainers before."
The boy felt a bit embarassed that he hadn't introduce himself and stood up. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize I haven't told you my name. It's Velo. Zeal Velo (Double O Zeal). And these are my two Bishoujo, Jubei-chan and Edward." He said then gave a sort of bow.
"Hello." Jiyu said.
"Anyway, about the food." Zeal pulled out a few things out of his pack as well as a bowl of cold rice. "I hope you don't mind. I ran out of actual food a while back." Zeal took a bit of the rice and made a nice rice ball and handed it to Krissy.
Krissy smiled, nodding back formally and then leaning casually against Duo, who was now sitting next to her. "Thanks Zeal. It looks great." She said, taking a bite. "Oh yeah guys, do we still have any stir fry left from lunch?" The elfin girl called over her shoulder to her group of Bish lounging about.
Brock grabbed Krissy's bag and opened it up, looking inside. "Yup, we've still got a good amount left." He said, handing Krissy her bag.
Krissy beamed as she took the bag, her eyes sparkling with that all too familiar hungry look. "Well Zeal, would ya like some? It's real tasty. And I bet it's still warm." She giggled, passing out chopsticks and a few containers of stir-fry to her Bishonen, then taking one for herself. "Come on, we'll share. And ya don't ever have to give me a tip." She winked.
"Sure," Zeal replied and took some stir-fry for himself. After eating a good amount he fell back and sighed. "That was good. All it is missing is some Sake to wash it down with."
Edward then fell back after she had finished a good amount, eating almost as much as Zeal did. Jiyu smiled a little as she finished her meal off, which was a rice ball and what stir-fry was left that no one took.
Zeal sat up again and said, "So what are you guys doing out here?"
Krissy set down the empty stir fry container and pulled off a bishie-ball from her belt, twirling it on her finger. "Well, we came out here to find more Bishonen so I could battle at the gym in Scarlet town. I've only got four so far and I figure, ya need more than four Bishonen to become a Bishonen master, right?" She sighed, and turned slightly to see James and Gohan fighting over some leftovers. "Though sometimes I wonder if these guys are just good for eating, not battling."
At her comment, her bish gave her an annoyed look, including Duo and she just laughed, covering her mouth with her hand. "Funny Krissy." Duo snorted.
"I'm sorry Duo." She said. "What about you, Zeal?"
"Well, I wanted to become a Bishoujo trainer and it pretty much beat hanging at home," Zeal started, "So I've been going around. I only caught two Bishoujo so far but I did win my first Bishoujo badge." Zeal pulled out the badge from his back pocket and showed Krissy it. "Both my Bishoujo can fight but sometimes I wonder if Edward is really a waste disposal type. She's eaten everything me and Jubei-chan haven't."
Edward suddenly popped up from above, hanging on a branch. "Edward's ears are burning," she said with her half-wit smile. "Edward wants desert."
"See what I mean?"
Krissy laughed, her bright, blue eyes sparkling as she looked up at the tree. "I sure can," She paused, sighing. "Ya know, that badge is really impressive. Hopefully with a little more training, I'll be able to win a bunch of Bishonen badges. But first I gotta beat this town." She said, leaning against Duo again.
"And you know I'll do my best to make sure you win." The braided bish replied, smiling at his trainer.
"Thanks, Duo." She smiled, chuckling lightly and pushing a lock of her pink hair behind her ear.
"Training, neh?" Zeal responded, slightly twitching his ears. "How about I send my Bishoujo up against your Bishonen and see who can fair better in a match? Two on two, giving the fact I only have two." He jumped quickly to his feet and Edward dropped right in front of him.
"Edward is hungry," she said.
"BUT YOU JUST ATE!!" Zeal grabbed a box of pocky; a Japanese snack with unsalted pretzels dipped in a sort of frosting, and threw it at her. Quickly Edward tore into the box and ate all the little pretzel sticks then got to her feet quickly.
"Sounds like fun to me." Krissy grinned, getting up dramatically and flashing the V sign. "A two on two battle it is." Grabbing a bishie-ball from her belt, the elfin girl turned to her Bishonen who all looked ready to go, with the exception of James, and said, "You guys think you're up to it?"
Her Bishonen cheered behind her, Duo smirking as he pulled his gun out of his pocket, twirling it on his index finger. "Give us the word, Krissy."
"Good." Krissy said with a racy glint in her eye. She took of her trench coat, throwing it to the side and smiled. "You ready Zeal?"
Zeal quickly jumped to his feet. "Ready, willing, and able," he commented then added, "Wait something about that didn't sound right. Anyway, what two are you sending out?"
Krissy giggled at his comment, then shook her head, bringing herself back to reality. "Um...I think for this battle, I'll be fighting with Gohan and Duo."
"Me, Krissy-chan?" Gohan asked, sounding shocked and pointing to himself.
"You betcha, kiddo. You're gonna have to battle if you want to be really strong. I'm gonna need you to be strong for me."
Gohan's face lit up. "You can count on me."
"So Zeal," Krissy began, turning her attention back to the Bishoujo trainer in front of her, gripping Gohan's bishie-ball in her tight grip. "Send out your first fighter and let's party." She smirked, flipping her hair over her shoulder.
"Well," Zeal started and thought for a moment. "I think Edward should be first. She does seem ready to... er... fight or at least eat them." Zeal laughed a little at the thought of Edward eating a Bishonen sandwich.
"Alright, then. Gohan, you're up." Krissy said, patting Gohan on the back and slightly pushing the nervous boy in front of her. "Don't worry Gohan, you'll do fine." The half saiya-jin smiled half-heartedly and turned to face Zeal and his Bishoujo.
Zeal pointed at Gohan and yelled, "Edward, fetch."
