Chapter 3: TSUKASA UPPERCUT!

By: Luxfer

"AHHH! TOTODILE, LEAP TO THE RIGHT!" yelled a very distracted Hikaru.

Totodile, obedient as it is, was nowhere near as fast as Spearow's dive, so it tried its best to null the damage by not thinking about it. Totodile thought, don't think about those sharp talons hurling at you at an unimaginable speed. No, think about…the beach! Totodile grinned with joy. Yes, the beach! Not those talons…THAT JUST SLASHED YOU ACROSS THE CHEST!

Due to the speed it exerted, Spearow, very unprofessionally, stopped in mid-air and waited for further commands. Totodile, however, was sent rolling backwards right into Ted's welcome hands.

"Are you okay Totodile?" whispered a very worried Ted.

"Of course he isn't okay! No low-level Pokemon like that could hope to go up against my beautiful Squawky!"

All three adolescents glared up at Laura. Laura, oblivious to their hatred toward her, stuck out her tongue. And immaturely blew the hardest raspberry she has ever attempted.

"PLLLHHHH!"

"Ugh! Great, I got Laura slobber all over me!" said a very disgruntled Hikaru. "Say it, don't spray it! Jeez, you would think a rich bon-bon like that would have some half-way decent manners!"

"Hey! I heard that! You better apologize!" shouted an angry Laura.

"You're the one who should apologize! You took Ted's Totodile!" Hikaru shouted back, with equal ferocity.

"Well…Well…SHUT UP! Squawky, Fury Swipes!"

"So you wanna go, eh, brat? Totodile!"

At this command, Totodile leaped out of Ted's arms, but not before giving him a big lick on the face, who grinned.

"Totodile, wait for me to tell you when to tackle!"

Zack almost objected. Tackle? It's only the weakest normal type move Pokemon know, next to Struggle! What in the world is that Hikaru planning?

"Squawky, do it now!" yelled a very impatient Laura. "I want this all over so we can get ice cream!"

Squawky the Spearow flew at Totodile, deadly talons raised.

"NOW!"

A split second before Sparrow would have stricken, the moment when Sparrow would pull its talons closer and then unleash the deadly blow, Totodile Tackled Sparrow.

"SPEA!"

"Wow Hikaru!"

"Brilliant Hikaru. I take it you calculated the Speed Sparrow had by deliberately making Totodile take that hit! And then you added the recoil time Sparrow would take to make Fury Swipes stronger! You clever devil!" Zack punched Hikaru playfully on the shoulders. "What's with that look Hikaru? You got a perfect shot, critical even! What's wrong buddy?"

Hikaru only point at Laura, thunderstruck.

"What's wrong with…LAURA!"

It was at that moment that Zack decided to use his eyes and follow Hikaru's course. After hearing Zack's help, Ted looked up at Laura, with Totodile in his arms. Both boys' jaws dropped. Standing behind Laura was none other than…

"DADDY! PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW!"

"No Laura! Not until you give Ted back his Totodile. Or else…no milk products for a week!"

Laura, who couldn't imagine a day without milk alone, quickly gave up Ted's custom-designed Pokeball.

"Good girl. You're grounded anyway."

Dropping Laura, who quickly called back Spearow and ran off, bawling, Professor Shaker jumped down from here Laura and he had been (on the balcony above the garden).

"Ted, I believe this is yours."

And with that casual comment, he threw the Pokeball to Ted, who caught it. Grinning, he asked Zack a simple question, amidst two pair of eyeballs boring holes into Professor Shaker's own Pokeballs.

"So, son, how do you think you did on the practical examination?" said a grinning Professor.

"Did I…pass?"

"Well, son, you have to try harder…"

Zack slumped his back over.

"because you passed! Not the best result, but with high marks nonetheless!"

Zack looked up at his grinning father, mouth agape. The professor handed him his official PokeGear and PokeDex.

"Here son, you earned 'em."

All three bewildered, stared at the wonderful gadgets in the professor's hands. Zack grabbed it and Hikaru and Ted looked over Zack's shoulders to stare at the wonderful marvels of human technology.

"I'm sure you know how to operate a PokeDex, you've been going through my drawers since you were ten! But the PokeGear, it's a tad more difficult. First off, the phone. First off, you have to…Zack?"

Professor Shaker could only look at his son, who had turned ashen.

I'm a trainer…I'm a trainer…I'm a trainer…

"Zack? Zack? ZACK!"

Accomplishing no response from Zack, he turned to Hikaru for help.

"What should we do Hikaru?"

Grinning, Hikaru rolled up his right sleeve and walked back a couple steps.

"Don't worry sir." said a grinning Hikaru. "I have this under control.

And with that finishing statement, he launched an uppercut at Zack.

"Wow Hikaru! Where did you learn to do that?" said professor Shaker, keeping an eye out for Zack's location. "He must be fifty feet away by now!"

Hikaru grinned, if he could, even wider. "You learn a few things living with Sakura Tsukasa!"

Ted, who from now on kept an out for Hikaru's fist, said "But he could've gotten hurt!"

"Don't worry! For some strange reason…" Hikaru stoked his chin. "he seems to have a tendency to come out of any punch I land without so much as a bruise."

"So that's how he fell through our roof!" Professor Shaker chuckled. "He said he was playing football with some Machamp."

THUD

"Well. That usually means he's back with us."

"HIKARU! DID YOU HAVE TO UPPERCUT ME? I LANDED ON SOMEONE! GET OVER HERE!" yelled an angry voice.

"YOU FELL ON SOMEONE? Geez, I punch him out of one situation, he lands on another one!"

Ted and Professor Shaker exchanged glances and broke down into soft giggles.

Running toward the main street, they saw a crater in the middle of a street. And in the center of that crate, was Zack, currently knocked out.

"What happened here?" said Professor Shaker, kneeling down beside his injured son.

"Hey, professor, just to make things clear, I didn't no couldn't do this…right?"

Hikaru looked around for someone to confirm his statement as a fact. I couldn't do this…right? Hikaru looked down into his own knuckles, frightful of any more damage he can do. But that's nonsense! Not even a Machoke could do this, let alone me!

"You didn't do that, because my Pichu did!"

The trio turned around to a girl. A girl of about Hikaru's age, give or take a year or two younger. She was a sight to behold, even Hikaru admitted it. Her long, soft, silky looking auburn hair was being blown by the wind. Wearing a Sailor Fuku traditional school uniform, her light frame stood silent in the distance. Clutching a Pichu in her arms, her eyes burned an angry stare into the middle of the crater.

Wow…she's pretty…You know, I bet if she smiled…Hikaru blushed a deep red at the next thought. If she smiled…

"Why did you do that?" said a completely unaffected Professor Shaker.

"Because…because…" she blushed a slightly pink hue. "Because that pervert crashed into me! Then I told my Pichu to Slam the creep!"

Hkaru's thoughts were rudely interrupted. Creep? She has no right to call him that! You just ordered a Pichu to Slam him for God's sakes!

"Who you saying creep to, retard? If you haven't noticed, he is now in a crater, unconscious, because you ordered a Pokemon to Slam him into the street, when all he did was ACCIDENLTY fall on you!"

"What's it to you, idiot?"

The pretty girl and Hikaru started a shouting match that even Sakura heard. The whole town gathered at the sight, and come even made bets on it (50 on the girl, girls always win). Eventually, their parents came.

Professor Shaker, trying his best to stop the fight, stood in the middle, ready for either side to attack. "Kid's! Let's solve this calmly and rationally!"

"He started it!"

"What did you say? If you haven't noticed, Zack is now asleep at home because of you! His training career just began with a Pichu Slamming him! What do you have to say about that?"

"Why you little--"

"HIKARU!"

"ANNA!"

Both teenagers immediately stood upright and turned to their parents. Both were united in thought; I am so dead.

Both parental units erupted in scolding.

"HIKARU, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?"

"DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH MONEY WE'LL HAVE TO PAY YOUNG LADY?"

"BY THE TIME YOU ARE THIRTY--"

"YOUR ALLOWANCE WILL--"

"LADIES! Please, calm down!" shouted an agitated Professor.

Both parents silently fuming, they retrieved their children and interrogated them.

Meanwhile, the Professor and Ted were shooing away people who gathered at the scene.

After a silent barrage of questions, both parent's let out a gasp.

"YOU DID WHAT?"

"TO WHO?"

"Okay. Hikaru! Immediately apologize to that girl!" Hikaru nearly protested when-

"ANNA! Apologize to that young man!"

Upon being addressed as a young man, Hikaru noticed the girl's only parent, the only female mayor in a half century; Mayor Maehera.

Her short blue hair swinging to and fro, she told Anna to apologize to that young boy.

"You too, Hikaru." Hikaru was just about to voice his anger when he met the eyes of his mother. Uh-oh. I know that look. I'm in deep trouble now…

Both teenagers sensing the danger of their parent's anger, they walked down to the middle of the crater. Bowing to each other, they exchanged glances.

Wow…his golden eyes…

What's she staring at?

Hikaru stuck his tongue out. Anna just insulted him, silently.

"HIKARU! I SAW THAT!"

Wincing to the future pain, Hikaru quickly raced up the crater into his mother's steel grip. Looking back to see Anna one last time, he saw they were heading toward the other Ditricts. The Pichu, now on Anna's shoulders, stuck its tongue out to Hikaru. Hikaru replied the same way and received a smack on the head from his furious mother.

Both teens were, once again, united in thought; we will meet again.

A/N Ugh…feeling sooo bad. I don't think you guys enjoyed this chapter too much, ne? Well…Maybe I should try the interview again!

Luxfer: And we're back on the air. Let us welcome the two teens, Hikaru Tsukasa and Anna Maehera!

(Both sit down, glance at each other and turn their heads away from each other's sight.)

Luxfer: (sweatdrop) Uhhh

Both teens: YOU STARTED IT!

Hikaru: Your Pichu Slammed my friend!

Anna: Your 'friend' slammed into me!

Hikaru: Get a grip! It was an accident, you baka!

Anna: You loser!

(Both fight into the night while Luxfer drops his mike and gives up)

LATER!
