"Nurse Joy! Nurse Joy! Come quick!" shouted Usagi flying past all the other trainers in line who gave nasty glares. "Nurse Joy!"
"What is it Usagi? What's wrong?" asked N.J.
"I'll tell you later but please help this Cubone!" Usagi cried handing over the tiny Cubone.
"Chancey! We need you out here now!" cried N.J. looking at the bleeding Cubone.
"Chancey! Chancey! Chan! Chan cey!" said what appeared to be the main Chancey giving the orders to the rest.
"I'm sure he'll be fine Usagi, but I wont be able to give you an update on his condition for a while, why don't
you look for some more pokemon?" said N.J.
"I would, but all my pokemon are sort of weak from a pokemon battle… do you think you could heal them?"
"I will but you need to wait in line for that." Said N.J. pointing to the long, long line of trainers.
Usagi sighed, "Ok, but first I have to find Persian. Bye! And thanks Nurse Joy!" Usagi turned and ran past all the trainers that were still giving her the evil eye.
When Usagi exited the PokeCenter she began her quest for Persian, she remembered last she saw him was at the lake where she battled Todd so she headed there. As she approached she saw to hooded figures creeping up to Persian silently. She grabbed Persian pokeball from her belt just incase these two tried anything. Minuets passed, Usagi just standing on the hill, the hooded figures whispering to each other, and Persian, who was still sleeping. (^^())
Suddenly, the taller figure pulled out a pokeball and aimed it right towards Persian. Usagi had to act fast and she knew it. In one graceful motion she recalled Persian and sprinted into the near by forest without uttering a sound. She didn't let the 2 figures see her but she called out "If you ever try to steal one of my pokemon again, you 2 will be locked behind bars in a top security prison!"
The pair stood there for a minuet longer the sprinted away, but not before Usagi heard one of them mutter "but we didn't get to say our motto!"
Happy that Persian was safe and sound she left to go to the PokeCenter with all 4 of her pokemon. After handing her pokemon over to Nurse Joy and booking a room for the night she left to go find a seat in the lobby to wait for her pokemon, but when she arrived all she got were angry stares from the trainers waiting also, the ones she ran past in line. She winced slightly since she hated when people were angry with her and headed outside. After exploring the town a little bit she sat down under a shady tree a checked out the area around the town on her pokedex. On the rout between Pallet and Viridian City all you can catch are a Rattata and Pidgey, happily she thought of her adorable little Rattata and sweet little Pidgey. West of Viridian is Route 22. "Route 22 is a very helpful route but few beginning trainers know about Route 22 and even less trainers are brave enough to venture onto it for at the end is Route 23 the last challenge before entering the Pokemon League. Pokemon found on this route are: Rattata, Spearow, Nidoran Female, Nidoran Male, Mankey. You can fish for: Poliwag, Poliwhirl, and Goldeen." Said Usagi's Pokedex.
"Wow! I will have to head there later! What about…Route 2?" Usagi asked her pokedex.
"Route 2 is filled with low-level pokemon. These are: Pidgey, Rattata, Weedle, Catepie, Niodran Female, and Nidoran Male. After route 2 there is the Viridian forest. The Viridian Forest is filled with many bug type pokemon such as: Weedle, Kakuna, Caterpie, Metapod, also Pidgey, Pidgeotto, and every once and a while a rare Pikachu."
"Great! A electric type will be a great addition to my team!" said Usagi smiling.
"Will Usagi Cosmos please come to the front desk in the pokemon center? Usagi Cosmos your pokemon are healed," said a voice over the speakers.
Usagi stood up and headed for the pokecenter. When she arrived Nurse Joy waved her over to the front desk and handed her four pokeballs. "You Pokemon are now healed!" N.J. said happily.
"Thanks Nurse Joy, hey do you know anything about why the gym here is closed?" asked Usagi.
"Well, I heard that it isn't really closed for construction, I heard that the Gym leader, Giovanni, left on a trip that has to do with Team Rocket, but that is paposterous! A lowly team rocket member becoming a gym leader? He would never sneak past the pokemon gym authorities!" Nurse Joy continued you talk on…and on…and on…and…on…about how great the security is, in pokemon headquarters, and how the police force is super strong with their little Growlithe. Until it was past curfew and all the pokemon trainers had gone to bed so Nurse Joy was just talking to herself in the middle of the night, all by herself. (A.N. okay I DON'T knows where that came from and I DON'T remember typing it! I was sick that day…I think…. Whatever…I don't really like Nurse Joys, they are always way too cheerful, it's freaky, so don't flame me, I'll just use them to start a fire in the fireplace! He he!)
Usagi yawned, stretched, and sat up in bed. She really should be going and she knew it, but she did get here before all the others trainers…and she wanted to catch some more pokemon before leaving to challenge the Pewter Gym leader. Usagi released Persian and all her other pokemon only to find them all asleep, (^^()) she recalled them and headed out to breakfast. After finding a booth in a small restaurant at the edge of town, she ordered the daily special. (A.N. don't ask me what it is I just made it up) She pulled out her pokedex and looked up the Pewter City Gym Leader. It said that the Pewter City Gym Leader was Brock Stone; he uses rock pokemon, a level 10 Geodude and a level 12 Onix.
'An Onix and a Geodude eh? That means I should use a water type…but all I have is Magikarp and Todd said that they only learn splash and tackle…well time for some training then.' Usagi thought to herself.
As Usagi finished her meal and paid for it at the front desk she headed to the PokeMart and bought 20 pokeballs, 5 antidotes, 2 awakenings, 5 escape ropes, 1 hyper potion, 3 ice heals, and 1 poke doll. After paying for all this Usagi headed outside under a shady tree, near a small pond, and released her pokemon Rattata and Pidgey started and mock-battle, while Magikarp swam around happily in the pond, and Persian walked up to Usagi and watched her remove everything from the bag from the Poke Mart and everything from her silver backpack and laid it all out on the ground in front of her.
Persian couldn't stand it anymore her had to ask, "Usagi, where did you get all the stuff! I don't thing we need all…."he quickly counted the pokeballs, "22! We aren't going to catch 22 pokemon before we get to Pewter!"
"I know that Persian. I just want to be prepared. Besides who say I have to only but 6 pokeballs at a time? Anyways we better be going. Who want to stay outside there pokeball for now?" Usagi said cheerfully.
"Me!" cried the squeaky voice of Rattata.
"I do!" said Pidgey happily.
"Anybody else?" asked Usagi looking at Persian the shifting her gaze to Magikarp.
"No, I want to rest some more." Said the Magikarp.
"Me too. See you later Usagi!" said Persian.
As Usagi recalled Persian and Magikarp she asked Pidgey, "Do you want to fly or perch on my shoulder like Rattata?"
"I think I'll fly, that way I can tell you if a Pokemon is heading our way, is that okay?" asked Pidgey
"That's a great idea Pidgey! C'mon lets get going!"
A heading down the trail for a few minuets Pidgey suddenly swooped down a calmly landed on a branch a few feet ahead. "I saw a wild Mankey not to far ahead, if we hurry we can catch him before he reaches the nearby forest," informed Pidgey
"Well then lets go!" cried Rattata running off.
"Rattata wait!" cried Pidgey before Rattata got to far away, "that's the wrong way!"
"Oh, hehehe I knew that," said an embarrassed Rattata. "It isn't funny!" he told Usagi.
Yes…it…is!" Usagi managed between giggles.
Rattata just sent a playful glare at Usagi that caused her to burst out in another fit of laughter. Pidgey just chuckled.
"C'mon, follow me." Said Pidgey headed off into the opposite direction Rattata was headed. The walked for a few minuets, or in Pidgey's case flew, Rattata was planning a way to get back at Usagi and Pidgey, with a plan that had to do with a banana peel and a truckload of whip cream. (A.N. My sister thought that up…don't ask, she has the flu.) Pidgey was lazily flying around, but keep a sharp eye out for any danger. Usagi was just skipping along the trail, like a little schoolgirl, letting out a giggle now and again.
After walking for about 10 minuets Pidgey flew down in such a rush it knocked Rattata off its feet. "Hey watch where your going Birdbrain! You scared me half to death!" shouted the tiny Rattata.
"Rattata don't call Pidgey na-what's wrong Pidgey?!" Usagi asked worriedly.
"Huge…flock of…of…Spearow!" Pidgey stuttered between gasps.
Rattata visible winced and Usagi took a deep breath, "There is no choice we have to get by." Rattata and Pidgey slowly nodded. With a quick encouraging smile at them both Usagi quietly headed forward, stopped, and stooped behind a bush. Rattata and Pidgey followed her actions.
Slowly they all peered over the bush and had to muffle a gasp when hey saw the sight before them. They pecking at the ground of preening their feathers were 90 or 100 Spearow and Fearow.
"Okay Pidgey see that far one? The one away from all the others? I want you to give it a sand attack then come back, the Rattata, you give it a couple tackles. On my cue, 1…2…3…Go!" cried Usagi.
Pidgey silently flew down near the other bird, swept low to the ground and stirred up some dust, which landed right into to the Spearow's eyes. Without sight the Spearow went a little crazy, flapping it's wings, running around, and letting out a strangled caw. After running blindly around for a few seconds it ran straight into the forest, separating itself from it's flock.
"Great! I was hoping it would head there! Come on! If we can hurry we'll be able to catch it!" whispered a very excited Usagi.
The trio quickly hurried into the forest and started searching. It wasn't long before they heard the squawking of a very annoyed Spearow. With a glance from Usagi Rattata nodded and bounded into the brush, Usagi and Pidgey waited a few painfully long moments only hearing the scuffling of fighting. The whole world seemed to have stopped all holding their breath waiting to see who would be the victor in this battle of the beginners.
All of a sudden it all stopped. Not a sound was heard. Usagi, terrified that something happened to a sweet little Rattata, jumped over the brush looking widely about. Finally she caught sight of a purple tail just beyond the next bush. Dodging around that one, with Pidgey close behind, she found her little Rattata sitting there with a very proud look on face as he stared at the unconscious Spearow before him. Quickly, after checking out Rattata. (A.N. I mean making sure he's okay!) She whipped out an empty pokeball, aimed, and flung it at Spearow. The pokemon became red, and slowly was sucked into the pokeball. The ball shook and rattled before the small red circle on the front went out and turned white. Officially knocking her 22 pokeballs down to 21.
"Yes! I caught a Spearow!" cried a joyful Usagi, but she quickly shut her mouth. Unfortunately not soon enough (A.N. I would of stopped her but, I kept you from reading this for far to long so I wont!)
About 90 or so Spearow and Fearow snapped their heads to attention. Usagi and her two pokemon immediately froze, and reality crashed down on them. They weren't the only ones in the world, they weren't all by themselves. They were in the middle of the forest just out side and Viridian City. Not to mention they were newsiest trainers out there and the all ready had a pack of one of the more vicious pokemon ready to attack at any moment.
But by some stray chance of luck, or miss-luck to some people, Fate and Destiny seemed to let Usagi live a little bit longer. Well actually some boy and a Pikachu speeding down a run down path screaming bloody murder in the eyes of the Spearow proved a little more threatening. The group took flight a soared away from the clearing.
Usagi and Co. couldn't move. Shocked beyond reasoning they just stood their trying to process what just happened. Usagi, being the first to regain her senses, returned Pidgey and Rattata and hurried away from the area.
(A.N. Nope I aint switching to the inners. To get the story to move faster I am going to skip about…7hours. Don't worry you will see all that happened…. Well, read)
Usagi smiled at her opponent, she felt she had a good chance in winning this battle with all her pokemon. Yep plural, in the last 7 hours she had caught a Mankey, Nidoran F and M, Pikachu, Poliwhirl, Kakuna, and a Caterpie. Plus she had been able to give her Magikarp some extra training while the others battled. No one else knew but she was on the brink on evolving. Yup she, Magikarp was a girl.
"Hello? Are you in there? I asked you a question!" the person said.
Usagi shook her head and came back into reality. She had to stay focused. She squared her shoulders, stood up tall, and faced the Gym Leader. Yup Gym Leader, she had passed through the Viridian forest within 3 hr with some help from a tour bus, they said she provided plenty of excitement. She shook her head again.
"Yeah, I'm ready. Just tell me the rules so we can start this." Usagi said.
"Good. The rules? Two pokemon, no time limit. No pokemon is out till fainted. The winner gets the Boulder Badge!" cried the Gym Leader.
"Usagi Cosmos from Pallet challenges Brock leader of the Gym to a battle for the Boulder Badge. No time limit. Ready… Fight!"
"Go Geodude!" cried Brock.
"The fight is all yours Magikarp!" Usagi smirked when she saw Brock roll his eyes. "Ignore the trainer, Magikarp! Focus on the Geodude! Then use you special attack!" Magikarp nodded and narrowed his eyes. It was his job to prove that all Magikarp are not weak, but a special kind that can learn anything with the right help.
Magikarp's eyes suddenly glowed a brilliant blue, he opened his mouth and a rush of freezing ice-cold water came rushing out. She was using Water Gun! Within seconds Geodude was knocked out giving the first win the Usagi and Co.
"Wha- what? Magikarps can't use Water Gun! It is against Official League Rules!" cried the distraught leader.
"No it isn't, as long as the move is allowed for any pokemon it is official. You can use it if your pokemon…… knows…….the……move……" Usagi trailed off and stared hard at Magikarp. Something felt wrong. Something looked wrong. Suddenly she realized! Magikarp was evolving! Evolving into Gyrados! Beating a Gym Leaders pokemon boosted her up to her 10th level! She knew getting the sweet little Magikarp was good. 'In you face Todd' she mentally growled.
Brock on the other hand was frozen with shock, completely oblivious to the 'boos' and 'get on with the match!' from the crowd around him. He just stared. And he wasn't the only one. Two people and a pikachu watched in awe from behind the Gym Leader. Another teen in the audience stared in wonder. No pokemon had ever evolved in a Gym battle before!
Usagi switched her gaze from her new Gyrados to the Gym Leader that called himself Brock. "So are we gunna continue battling? Or do you wish to forfeit?"
"I… I… I…" Brock the came to he senses. "No I will not forfeit and let my city down because of beginners luck. I am a Gym Leader and represent all the trainers from this city. I will not let them down. We shall continue battling. (A.N. I know I KNOW! Not very Brockish but I needed something to make him sound all proud)
The civilians, hearing this, roared to life. They thought their Gym Leader was strong and could defeat this pesky trainer. They thought wrong.
"I choose you! Onix! Tackle attack" Brock cried. This time he was going for the element of surprise, a little newbie wasn't going to beat Brock Stone today. No not after that last defeat by Ash Ketchum from Pallet. He shuddered at the thought, he always thought those sprinklers would be a burden.
The rock snake rammed the terror of the sea hard and fast, (A.N. ………That didn't sound right ehehhehheh) Gyrados roared in pain. She may have the type advantage, but she was loosing by level and the fact the she was newly evolved.
Usagi closed her eyes in deep thought Gyrados doesn't learn any new attacks till the 20 level, so right now she only knew Splash but with her special training she learned Water Gun. Usagi winced; maybe evolving isn't always the best action.
"Gyrados! Water Gun!" cried Usagi as she opened her eyes.
Gyrados seemed to hear because seconds later she opened her mouth and let lose galleon upon galleons of ice-cold water yet again. Before the attack was over Onix had been knocked out.
"Onix is no longer able to fight! The winner is Usagi Cosmos from Pallet!" cried the referee.
Brock bowed his head in shame. Even after his powerful speech that made his sprits rise he had let his people down. He was a failure as a Gym Leader, 4 damned wins in less then a week. First those three trainers from Pallet, all beginners, all were owning a young pokemon either of fire, water, or grass. All strolled in as if on top of the world and beaten him and his pokemon too the ground like they were a baby Diglett. Sure, one kid had to try twice, but he came in here after beating all of the other trainers without refreshing his pokemon. Next he lost to Ash Ketchum also from Pallet town in that lousy excuse of a match. Who ever thought that the little Pikachu could send out such a large amount of electricity that it would convince the sprinklers that it was a fire? Pure luck was all it had been, pure beginners luck.
"Hello? Mr. Stone? You need to award the winner their badge. Mr. Stone?" a voice broke through his train of thoughts.
"Yes, yes, of course." Replied Brock. "Usagi Cosmos I, Brock Stone, award you, Usagi Cosmos, with the Boulder Badge. The pride and joy of our city. But remember the path of a trainer is long and treacherous, you might lose your gear, your food, and your way, but you must never lose hope. Or the trust you have in your pokemon." With that the beaten Gym Leader turned and walked away.
"Brock! Wait up! Brock! C'mon Ash!" cried a female figure running off after him.
"I'll be there in a minuet Misty! Hold your Ponytas!" cried another figure heading towards Usagi.
Ash, Usagi soon discovered his name, was also from Pallet and had beaten Brock earlier that day.
"Well it has been a pleasure talking to you Ash, but I really must be going. I need to book a room in the PokeCenter and ask the to heal my pokemon" said Usagi as she turned to go.
"Wait! I have wanted to ask you to a battle. Do you accept?" he asked (A.N. so the characters are OOC. So what they always acted to childish neways)
"Accepting you challenging would mean we will be rivals," said Usagi. She broke out into a grin. "Of course I accept. But it is to dark to battle now. Meet me tomorrow at the Rock Park on Boulder Boulevard. See you, Ash, Pikachu," said Usagi as she left the stadium.
"I'm sorry all of our rooms are booked you will have to share with another trainer," said Nurse Joy.
"Okay, I just need one night. I don't mind and could you heal my pokemon?"
"I'd be glad to, but there is one slight problem. The only available room is with a young male from Pallet" (A.N. not like that you hentais! I do need to introduce her to the other trainers right?) said a worried Nurse.
"Right now I am so tired I'll share a room with gang on Beedrills" murmured Usagi.
"Well alright, whatever you say. Your pokemon will be ready in a hour," said the Nurse before turning to exit through the swing doors.
Usagi, not knowing her room, dragged herself back into the lobby and collapsed on a chair close to a young male trainer reading the latest issue of 'The PokeTrainer's Guide.'
Ignoring him Usagi grabbed the remote and turned on the T.V. that was on a table across from her. Flipping through the channels she stopped at one called: PKMN TV (Pokemon T.V.) It was showing the new trainers from around the world. Right now they were telling about the trainers that had left from Lavender City and how far they got.
"Now we go to Pallet Town with a live interview with Professor Oak the top researcher in pokemon." Said the reporter.
The picture switched from the boring newsroom to the lab of the famous Professor Oak.
"Hello Professor Oak can you please tell me about the new trainers starting out from here?" asked the reporter.
"Why certainly, this year we have quite a few new trainers from Pallet Town," informed P.O. "In fact the most in years, a total of 10. With them my grandson Gary Oak. Gary has already got his first badge and owns 5 pokemon."
"Wonderful, now any other trainers already making a name for themselves?"
"Oh yes, yes indeed! Usagi Cosmos already owns 12 pokemon," said the professor proudly.
"Did you say Usagi Cosmos? We have footage of her and her pokemon defeating a Gym Leader and winning the Boulder Badge. Steve? Lets roll that tape for the viewers at home," the reporter said to a cameraman.
Second later a tape came on showing Magikarps amazing attack and evolution and Usagi crushingly defeating the two rock types.
"Usagi! Your pokemon are healed!" called Nurse Joy from the doorway.
The room sat in silence, everyone had heard the T.V. tell about Usagi's battle and here she was sitting in the lobby. Everyone looked around to see who was this powerful beginner trainer, and man they were surprised to see the girl who was watching the T.V. stand up the answer the Nurses call.
Usagi stood up and headed swiftly out of the lobby. When the door closed she could hear the happy chatter of the trainers resume.
(A.N. ^grins^ ya like? Okay I have bout three more settings to do then I am done, this part takes place the same time as the last scene when she was watching T.V. only miles away! Why did she have to share a room? 'cuz I needed her to get to know other trainers. I am SO NOT a hentai!! Icky! That would be just WRONG! Two more things: 1) It is a AU universe meaning OOC 2) I changed the Pokemon timeline to fit my story! Get it? Got it? Good! Peace! =P)
Lance sat in front of the T.V. flipping channels. "Nope…. Nuh-uh…. Seen it all ready… Boooring…. There is nothing on!' he thought. 'Wait… PKMN TV doing a special on new trainers. Lets see the new and hopefully improved generation.'
"Lorelei! Bruno! Agatha! Come on! Check this out!" he yelled toward the stairs.
"What is it? I was just about to head out to the Gym," asked Bruno
"Ooooo!!! Look! The new trainers are heading out!" squealed Lorelei plopping down in front of the T.V.
"Turn it up, boy. I want to hear this!" said the ancient ghost/poison trainer.
"Now we go to Pallet Town with a live interview with Professor Oak the top researcher in pokemon." Said the reporter.
The picture switched from the boring newsroom to the lab of the famous Professor Oak.
"Hello Professor Oak can you please tell me about the new trainers starting out from here?" asked the reporter.
"Why certainly, this year we have quite a few new trainers from Pallet Town," informed P.O. "In fact the most in years, a total of 10. With them my grandson Gary Oak. Gary has already got his first badge and owns 5 pokemon."
"Wonderful, now any other trainers already making a name for themselves?"
"Oh yes, yes indeed! Usagi Cosmos already owns 12 pokemon," said the professor proudly.
"Did you say Usagi Cosmos? We have footage of her and her pokemon defeating a Gym Leader and winning the Boulder Badge. Steve? Lets roll that tape for the viewers at home," the reporter said to a cameraman.
Seconds later a tape came on showing Magikarps amazing attack and evolution and Usagi crushingly defeating the two rock types.
The Elite Four stared in amazement, this was one of the best they seen since Johnny from America, but that poor kid died by the hands of Team Rocket (A.N. I know! I know! ^-^() Just don't ask)
"Uhh… Lance… How long did it take for
you to get a Gyarados?" asked Lorelei.
"At least to Lt. Surge's Gym.
This girl is amazing! We really need to train." Said Bruno
The other three Elites nodded and left to go their separate ways.
Gary was beat, he spent all day training, and looking for pokemon. Then he headed over to Brock's Gym in Pewter City to check out some new trainers. All he wanted to do was to go to bed and never get up. He dragged himself into the room he asked for but noticed something different. Instead of the usual 1 bed there was 2, with someone already sleeping in the far one. 'What the heck?! What's go o- oh N.J. did say something about me sharing the room with some girl… I think... I don't care' those were his last thoughts till he drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
Usagi yawned as she glanced at the clock.
"Shoot! 10:30! I am going to be sooo late!" she cried.
"Will you shut the hell up! Some people are TRYING to get some sleep!" yelled a male voice from across the room.
"Wha? Who the heck are you?"
"The names Gary Oak, from Pallet Tome. And I am trying to get some sleep" said a young man with cheasnut brown hair, wearing a long white T-shirt.
"Well sorry I woke you Your Highness, but I have a battle to get to with some other Pallet Town trainer. So if you don't mind I have to get ready" said Usagi sarcastically. She mentally kicked herself for telling a complete stranger who she had the un-pleasure of meeting about her planed days events.
Without anything else said between the she stepped thought the doorframe that separated the sleeping quarters and the bathroom.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*TIME SKIP*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Usagi stepped back out of the bathroom only to be meted with Gary sitting on his bed only fully dressed. (A.N. That sounded…. Wrong) He was wearing dark green loose pants and a dark purple, long sleeved shirt. A green pendant hung around her neck.
Usagi herself was wearing a white pair of short overalls with a baby blue T underneath. Her feet were covered with white tennis.
"And what are you still doing here? Shouldn't you be on your road to becoming a Pokemon Master" she said sarcastically.
"You right, but I wanted to see who you were fighting" he answered coolly.
"Ketchum. Ash Ketchum. Why?"
Gary snorted; "Your actually wasting your time with that guy? He's a pushover. You need to start out strong, he started out late and got some disobedient little Pikachu."
"Do I sense jealousy? Maybe you would want to be Ash right now?"
"And travel with some girl who is only pretending to be after money for her bike and a Ex-Gym Leader? Not my idea of fun."
"Whatever. Look you can come if you want, but only if you stay out of my way and don't give me any tips" she snapped.
Usagi sighed in relief as she got out of Gary's red convertible. He wouldn't walk so they drove, that wasn't the bad part. Try having 6 or 7 cheerleaders wailing that he was driving too fast or others practicing cheers, that was until he dumped them all at the mall and tore off with Usagi muttering prayers under her breath.
"Man those cheerleaders are a pain," she said to Gary as the crossed the field to the other side of the park.
"I know, but hey they won't leave and sometimes they sidetrack the other trainers."
"Whatever. C'mon I see Ash. Hey! Ash! Over here!" she called.
"Hey Usagi! Gary? What are you doing here?" said Ash when he reached them.
"Not that you need to know but I came to see how you are doing. Besides I want to see what loser Pokemon you caught," he replied.
Usagi sensing the tension between the two quickly broke it up. "Whatever, Ash your fight is with me not Gary. Gary you said you wouldn't get in the way."
"Fine," they both grumbled.
"How about six on six?" Ash shook his head. "Five on five?" once again it was a no. "Four on four?" he shook his head again.
By now Gary was cracking up, "Ash, how many Pokemon DO you have?"
"I have 3 okay!" Ash shouted.
Usagi took a deep breath, "Okay that changes my battle strategy a bit," she muttered to herself. Out loud she replied with, "Fine three on three, Pokemon isn't defeated till fainted, winner gets half of loser money. Got it?" Ash nodded. "Good lets get this started."
"I choose you, Pikachu!" Ash yelled.
'Electric huh?' she thought, "The battle is all yours! Mankey!" (A.N. Mankey is level 10 and Pikachu is level 13)
"Pikachu! Use Quick Attack!" Ash yelled.
"Mankey counter with Low Kick," Usagi said quietly.
Just as Pikachu was about to send Mankey flying, Mankey's foot swung out and struck Pikachu in the chest Pikachu flew back a few feet before flipping over and landing on its feet. Pikachu zapped out a quick Thundershock that hit Mankey fully Paralyzing the Ground type.
Usagi winced, getting a Pokemon to come out of Paralyzing wasn't all that common in trainer battles and she didn't have a Paralyze Heal. "Mankey return."
Ash grinned, "That's one down 2 to go."
Gary rolled his eyes, "If you listened to the rules you would of heard that she said no pokemon is out until fainted and even someone will your brain size should be able to see that Mankey wasn't fainted."
"What!? Dang it!" cried Ash.
"Well, let's get rid of the Pikachu! The battles all yours! Persian!" called Usagi.
They waited, but no pokeball was tossed. By now a small crowd had gathered and was looking around confusedly. "Oops," giggled Usagi, "I forgot I let him out earlier. Hey! Persian! C'mon out! Your up!" called Usagi facing the open fields of the park.
There was the sound of the leaves shaking in the nearby tree, but then everything was silent. Suddenly a tan and silver blur jumped from the tree and landed nimbly in front of Pikachu. "Jeese Persian, talk about showing off!" laughed Usagi.
Gary, Ash, Brock, Misty all blinked. They didn't know she had a Persian.
"Show off," Ash muttered, "Pikachu try you Quick Attack!"
Usagi rolled her eyes; Pikachu's Quick Attack wasn't even half of her speed! "Persian Bite that rodent."
Yet again Pikachu's Quick Attack was no match for Usagi Pokemon. And yet again Pikachu was thrown after getting a hard Bite, provided by Persian. But unlike before Pikachu didn't get up. He had fainted.
Ash, Brock, and Misty all gasped. They knew that that little Pikachu could pack quite a punch. Having defeated many trainers all ready Misty and Brock also knew that Ash was a great trainer. (A.N. NOT!) So their combined effort turned out to be one tough battle for the opposing trainer.
Ash glared at Usagi "Pidgeotto GO!! Use your Whirlwind!" (A.N. Pidgeotto is Lv. 20 and Persian is Lv 36 This is sooo not a battle)
"Persian hold your ground! Then use your Bite followed by a Scratch!" Usagi.
And Persian did just that. Leaping back into the tree, he dug his claws into the trunks to keep a good hold. When Pidgeotto was done flapping up a storm he leapt at Pidgeotto getting a nice bite in her wing. From the damage from Persian's attack Pidgeotto went tumbling toward the ground where Persian was ready and waiting with his claws extending, shining in the afternoon sun. With one hard swipe Pidgeotto was knocked into the tree. Yet again Ash lost another Pokemon, yup… Pidgeotto was KOed (A.N. KOed=Knocked out)
Ash growled. This was NOT a good start. "Pidgeotto return! Go Butterfree!" (LV 15)
"Crush the bug. Try your Scratch," whispered Usagi.
At the same time Ash had ordered for Stun Spore and apparently those to shouldn't be mixed. While Butterfree fired a blast of Stun Spore Persian was racing to get a Scratch. Persian must of noticed the yellow powder in the air and swerved to avoid it. He tried to jump over it and would of made it to but met Butterfree halfway over. Persian grabbed Butterfree and sort f flung him into the powder, but at the same time Butterfree had grabbed Persian to send him into the powder causing them both to go tumbling down, through the powder and if the powder didn't stun them then the impact they made when they hit the ground did.
"Persian!" "Butterfree!" Was the cry that echoed throughout the park. Usagi, wanting to have her pokemon get some rest, returned him. While Ash on the other hand, couldn't or he would lose the match.
Usagi pulled out another pokeball and said camly, "The battle is all yours, Poliwhirl."
Out of the pokeball popped a fairly good sized pokemon with large black eyes and white gloves covering his hands.
"What kind of pokemon is that?" questioned Ash to himself.
"This pokemon is the evolved form a Poliwag and does not need to swim as often. It sweats to keep moist," said the mechanical voice.
Usagi sweat dropped, 'They really need to teach kids thing before they send them off on a pokemon journey.' Aloud she said, "Poliwhirl, Bubble." (LV 7)
Thousands of bubbles flew from the hypnotic design on Poliwhirl's stomach. Each one popping at it hit the still stunned Butterfree, each one slowly bringing down the HP of Butterfree. Finally the parade of bubbles stopped as quickly as they began, but Butterfree was not yet fainted. Also he had awoke and he was ticked.
"Butterfree use Tackle!" yelled Ash.
"Poliwag try your Hypnosis," suggested Usagi.
And the battle was over, the Tackle had damaged Poliwhirl but not enough to keep him from using his Hypnosis. It immediately put Butterfree in a deep slumber. The crowd let up a cheer and Usagi rewarded herself with a small smile but not before she gave Poliwhirl a Potion, a kiss on the head, and returned him to his pokeball. The she stood up a faced Ash who was looking dumbfounded.
"Good match," she said smiling. "I never seen Persian stunned like that in quite a while!"

Usagi clicked of the phone. It had been Nurse Joy of Viridian City calling to see how things were going. Gary who had driven her back to the Pokemon Center was on the phone talking to his grandpa. He said goodbye and stepped away from the screen.
"Well," said Usagi, "I guess I'll be seeing you later."
"Yeah," was all Gary said. They both knew that Gary had to take the car and couldn't go through Mt. Moon.
Suddenly Usagi perked up, "Why don't we meet each other up in Cerulean City? To see the new pokemon we got."
Gary agreed, and then they both went their separate ways.
