Chapter 16

Duel of the Dragon Masters, A call from Officer Jenny and Taming of the Trainer.

The Twin Terrors, along with Sanfra, Mewtwo and Rayquaza arrived at an Island that seemed to have a Space Center. The group hid behind a rock while watching for any police officer. They didn't want to get caught just yet. This place didn't look abandoned. It was a town on Island. Rayquaza was the guide since none of the Venemas knew anything about the Hoenn region. Not even Mewtwo knew very much about the Hoenn region.

This is Mossdeep City. It is the home of the Hoenn Space Center and the leader of Hoenn's Elite Four. His name is Steven. Rayquaza explained.

"Wait, Hoenn has an Elite Four? I only thought that Kanto and Johto had an Elite Four." Trevor said confused.

"Earth to Trevor, we are not Johto or Kanto anymore." Sanfra said to her younger brother.

"Yeah, yeah, I keep on forgetting that." Trevor replied.

"Hang on, there are two people approaching." Max informed

"And who are they?" Trevor asked.

That is Steven, the Leader of the Elite Four. He uses Steel Type Pokemon. And that is a Drake, who is also a member of the Elite Four. He uses Dragon pokemon. Rayquaza explained.

"Really, does he use Dragonite? Oh, Dragonite is the most wonderful pokemon in the world. It is so powerful and brave and awesome. Oh, I could just hug it for hours and hours." Trevor said.

What is the deal with your brother? Rayquaza asked Max.

"No idea. Shhhh … I think those two are starting up a conversation." Max said.

"So it is great that you can join me." Stephen said.

"Yeah, but it is hard to get away from my Salamences." Drake said.

"Yes, I have heard this story over and over. Your Salamences adore you."

"Yes, they do. They are much better than that pathetic excuse for a Dragon Pokemon Dragonite. I would never use it." Drake said.

That's when both Dragonite and Trevor got mad. Both heard Drake's response and started fuming. Dragonites are not pathetic excuse for Dragon Pokemon. Dragonites are more superior to Salamence. Trevor had read up on Salamence and Dragonite was still better. He couldn't let anybody get away with making fun of Dragonite. The good news is that he had taught his Dragonite some English. The better news is that he had the perfect opportunity to use the new motto. Trevor got up and clutched Dragonite's Pokeball.

"Max, watch my back. Things might get ugly here." Trevor said.

"Okay, brother." Max said.

What is going on? What is Trevor doing? Rayquaza asked.

"You see Rayquaza, Trevor is very found of Dragonite and loves it dearly. I also think it is the fact that he is a Dragonite Hybrid himself. Insult Dragonite and you would insult him." Sanfra explained.

I understand. Poor Trevor, if I were a Dragonite … I would be angry. Rayquaza replied.

Well, you are a Dragon Type. You are probably more superior to Dragonite. Just don't mention it around Trevor. You might lose his trust fasting than you can say, "We're blasting off again. Mewtwo explained.

Trevor walked up to the two Hoenn Elite Four members. He was cloaked of course. The Hoenn Elite Four didn't know Team Rocket, so he didn't want them to find out just yet. He was grasping Dragonite's Pokeball. Steven noticed Trevor coming and walked up to greet Trevor but Trevor pushed Steven away. He headed straight towards Drake.

"I heard you saying that Salamence is better than Dragonite." Trevor said while grasping Dragonite's pokeball.

"Yes, you heard right. So what is it to you? And what is with the cloak?" Drake asked.

"I am the one asking the questions here. Anyways, I think you should take back that statement." Trevor growled.

"And what are you going to do about it?" Drake laughed.

"How about I show you my prized pokemon?" Trevor said while releasing Dragonite.

Dragonite popped out of its pokeball. Its skin looked like it has just been waxed and shined to the fullest. It claws sharpened so it looked like it could actually stab someone. Its wings were so impressive that you had to look down at the ground to avoid the shine. Trevor was impressed by his Dragonite but Drake was not.

"Another Dragonite fan, you people are so caught up in some stupid Dragon Pokemon. So what are you going to do about it?" Drake laughed some more.

"I'd suggest you prepare yourself for trouble."

"You've insulted the Dragonite name and linage, so make that Double."

"To protect the legacy of Dragonite from Devastation."

"To unite all Dragonite fans within every nation."

"To bring forth the nature of Dragonite trainer's love."

"To extend our wings to the heaven above."

"Trevor Venema!"

"Dragonite!"

"Team Dragonite soars off at the supersonic speed of light."

"We are ready to strike, so prepare to fight."

"Well, well, nice tune you've got there but it won't help you." Drake chuckled.

"Hey, that motto. I have heard it before. Wait, you are part of Team Rocket." Steven said.

"So you are part of this Team Rocket? What are you going to do? Steal my Salamence?" Drake chuckled.

"No, I would steal that pathetic thing." Trevor snickered.

"HOW DARE YOU CALL SALAMENCE PATHETIC!" Drake roared at Trevor.

"You called Dragonite pathetic first. So why can't I call Salamence pathetic?" Trevor snickered.

"Well, why don't we have a battle to see which pokemon is pathetic?" Drake said.

"Agreed! Then you will see Dragonite is the better Dragon Pokemon." Trevor said.

"Well, I will judge this battle. This will be a Dragon battle between Drake's Salamence and Trevor's Dragonite. There is no time limit. Let the battle begin!" Steven said.

"Salamence, attack Dragonite with Dragon Claw." Drake said.

"Dragonite, dodge Salamence's attack." Trevor shouted.

Salamence obeyed its master's orders but thanks to Trevor, Dragonite missed the attack. Salamence kept on attacking but Dragonite kept on dodging it. Steven could see how skilled Trevor's Dragonite but Drake's Salamence had KO'd at least 10 or 20 Dragonites. What made Trevor's Dragonite different?

"Salamence, it's time to show your flying ability." Drake said.

"Dragonite, show Salamence who is the real master of flying." Trevor said while smirking.

Both Dragon Pokemon spread its wings and launched into the air. Steven watched both pokemon. There was something about Trevor's Dragonite. It seemed just too normal. There was something special about it. Steven turned to Trevor. Drake was now ordering it to slam it to the ground. Trevor wasn't giving any orders. Salamence was right in a collision course with Dragonite when Dragonite swooped aside. Salamence got angry and kept on trying. Unfortunately, Dragonite would move before it could attack.

"I thought this would be a challenge, but it isn't. Dragonite, end this attack with Hyper Beam." Trevor announced.

"Salamence, hold your ground. Then attack when it is weakened. Even Dragonite isn't that strong to recover from a Hyper Beam attack." Drake shouted.

It all came down to this one attack. Dragonite fired up a yellowish sphere of energy and aimed it right at Salamence. The beam struck Salamence and almost knocked it out the sky. Drake was about to order Salamence to knock it down when he noticed Dragonite was not even a bit tired. It was like it wasn't even fazed.

"Dragonite, attack now. Slam it to the ground." Trevor yelled.

Dragonite moved at incredible speed and slammed Salamence to the ground below. Drake rushed over to his Salamence and returned it to its pokeball. Trevor's Dragonite came down and hugged its trainer. Steven was shocked. He never saw a Dragonite like that before. It even surpassed even Lance's Dragonite. Steven looked at Drake and he was coming right over to Trevor. He was not happy.

"You cheater, no wonder why you are part of this Team Rocket thing. You don't play fair at all." Drake yelled.

"That sir is a lie. My Dragonite is at tip-top shape. It can fire off several Hyper beams without tiring. I have spent my life training it well. I have lost several matches with Dragonite. I didn't push it to hard. It wanted to become stronger. We trained day and night. Through rain and snow we trained our hardest. And when I become a Dragonite Hybrid, we trained harder. When Dragonite surpassed its normal level, I was proud that tears came through my eyes." Trevor sobbed.

"I bet that is a bunch of lies." Drake said.

"How dare you make fun of a fellow family member! We might be part of Team Rocket but we would never hurt our own Pokemon." Max shouted.

"It might be true that most Team Rocket members treat their pokemon poorly but we aren't one of them." Sanfra said.

"I understand what you mean. I will let you pass this through but I shall alert the officials." Steven said.

The group left Mossdeep Island to find a new hidden place. Unfortunately, Officer Jenny was watching the match. She knew that Lorelei wanted up to date reports of sightings of The Twin Terrors so she got on the phone. Meanwhile, somewhere in Slateport City, our heroes were sitting down for some ice cream. Lorelei's phone rang and she picked it up.

"This is one of the former Elite Four member. Who may I ask is calling?" Lorelei asked.

"This is Officer Jenny reporting in. The Twin Terrors were spotting on Mossdeep Island." Officer Jenny said.

"Did they steal anything?" Lorelei asked.

"No, and that is not just the weirdest part. Trevor had a battle with Drake and left. I think it was because Drake made fun of Dragonite. Well, I will keep you updated." Officer Jenny said.

Lorelei hung up the phone and explained the message to the others. Brock was actually curious about the battle but they decided to head off in the direction that the Twin Terrors were going. They hadn't run into Team Magma or Team Aqua but even Misty knew that they would soon. Jessie, James, Misty, and Brock worried about the two missing members. They just hoped that Ash and Meowth were all right.

Ash was stilling searching for these mysterious tamers. Of course, he was resting in this stone house with Meowth. Exveemon was patrolling the area and Slyfer was trying to stay hidden but how can you hide a 20 or 30 foot Dragon? Ash was wondering what type of Digimon these tamers had. Of course, he was looking at these cards that Genaii gave them. According to Genaii, Tamers would slide the cards through the slots to power up their Digimon. It really sounded weird. Ash found it especially weird when he came across a blue card. That's when he heard voices.

"So Goggle boy, you think you can not try to be clumsy today?"

"Ha, ha Rika. It isn't my fault that barrier was in my way in yesterday's battle.

"You know, Takato. Rika is sort of right. You weren't looking where you were going."

"Hey Henry, that is not very nice. Do you want to learn manners from my sock puppet?"

There were four human voices, Ash heard. He heard three names but he didn't catch the last name. Pikachu was still by his side. Guilmon was digging into the sand. Ash decided to confront these Tamers. Pikachu and Guilmon both turned to Ash. Meowth was still resting until it got splattered with sand from Guilmon. All four of them exited the stone house. That's when the Tamers noticed Ash.

"Who are you?" Rika asked.

"My name is Ash Ketchum. I am training to be the world's greatest Pokemon Master and I am also training to be a Tamer." Ash said as he held out his D-Arc.

"That's authentic all right. And I wonder what his Digimon is." Henry said while examining Ash's D-Arc.

"He is right behind me." Ash said while moving aside to reveal Guilmon

"Another Guilmon? I though you were the one with Guilmon, Takato." Rika said.

"Hey Ash, where did you get that Guilmon and D-Arc?" The girl asked.

"First of all, who are you since I didn't catch your name?" Ash asked.

"My name is Suzie." She said.

"Okay, Suzie. I got this Guilmon from Genaii." Ash explained.

"You mean the Genaii from the TV series? Wait isn't that Exveemon?" Takato asked.

"Well, I don't know about a TV series and such but that is Exveemon. Its partner is Meowth. This is my Pokemon Pal Pikachu and that giant dragon is Slyfer." Ash explained.

"Pokemon? What is that?" Henry asked.

"Yeah, I am not getting any data on our D-Arcs." Rika said.

"Rika, I don't think this Pikachu, Meowth or Slyfer are Digimon at all."

Ash turned around to see four creatures. Ash saw a red dinosaur that must be Guilmon. He saw a yellow and white fox. He saw a rabbit like creature. He saw a lion creature. He also saw two more creatures. Ash saw an impish creature and a small white creature that looked similar to Togepi.

"Are these your Digimon?" Meowth said.

"It can talk." Guilmon exclaimed.

"Yes, I am the only pokemon known to talk, unless you count psychic Pokemon." Meowth explained.

"Yes, that is fascinating." The Lion Creature said.

"Excuse me, who are your Digimon partners?" Ash asked.

"Well, you know already that Guilmon is my partner. He loves bread." Takato said.

"Well my partner is Renamon, the warrior fox." Rika said.

"My partner is the energetic Terriermon who has words of wisdom." Henry sighed.

"My partner is the warrior Leomon. And these two creatures are Impmon and Culumon." Jeri explained.

"So I am guessing you were here to get help from Genaii." Rika said.

"Yes, back on my world, there are these human terrors who are threatening our world." Ash explained.

"They call themselves The Twin Terrors and they have abilities that help them in their crimes." Meowth continued to explain.

"Now they have stolen half of the legendary population." Exveemon replied.

"That explains why you got a Digimon, Ash. Digimon are pretty powerful. Come on, we will help you. It might take a while since Tamer style is different from Digidestined style." Henry said.

"All right. I will take all the time I need but I must get to my next destination. Lives stand in the balance." Ash said.

The Tamers agreed and they headed towards Tamer central or Rika's house. Pikachu, Guilmon and Meowth followed behind. Exveemon followed behind the rest only to protect them. Slyfer zoomed in out of trees and zoomed around through buildings to avoid being spotted. Ash hoped that these Tamers would give him enough training to defeat Team Rocket or his world would be doomed.
