"Capone! It's gangbanging time! Lady Morticia, I call upon you from the shadows!" Crimson said sending his battlers.
Capone glimmered and sparkled at he hit the floor. Morticia seeped out of her ball as a black mass before rising from the shadows.
"Nurse Joy! Take Chansey and go secure the sick Pokémon. Let me and my squad deal with these guys." Crimson said as Nurse Joy nodded to go do that.
"How brave of ya, but you're not going ta win." Meowth remarked.
"Ekans, wrap that rat!" Jessie said command as Ekans sprang towards Capone putting the squeeze on him.
"Koffing, Smog on that Gastly!" James said as Koffing releases a thick, dark green smoke from its mouth.
"You do know I'm a poison type, right?" Morticia asked as the smoke barely made her flinch.
"Orders are orders." Koffing said.
"That the best you got, bitch! I've been choked by bitches with smaller hands that you don't got, snakeskin!" Capone said straining.
"Capone, U-turn. Morticia, Ice Punch!" Crimson ordered.
Misty had sent out her Starmie after Meowth who tried to use his Fury Swipes only to get Water Pulse into the wall and get confusion. Capone smirked.
"See ya, snake bastard!" Capone said as his body glowed green before head-butting Ekans and spitting him in the eye for good measure.
Covered in green energy, Capone flew back into his Heal Bell. Crimson sent out Kimiko to replace him and the timid lizard was rather frightened to see the snake. Morticia used the gas from her body to form a ghostly hand before using the smog to hide.
"Where did that ghost go?!" James/Koffing asked.
Morticia appeared from behind using an icy hand to grab him before socking him with another causing ice to form all over Koffing's body freezing him solid.
"Ekans, Bite!" Jessie said as Ekans dove her fangs into Kimiko's neck.
Kimiko screamed pleading for Ekans flailing about, and Crimson told her to calm down and breathe.
"Just drop down already!" Ekans said sinking deeper.
[Music Ends]
In her panic, Kimiko started to glow as she got more and more panicky. She screamed as the light consumed her as she achieved her first evolution becoming a Charmeleon and looked absolutely livid. The flames on her tails burst into a bluish-white color growing larger and she let a primal roar.
"Crimson! I think that's her Blaze ability!" Morticia warned.
Jessie told a fearful step back and Kimiko grabbed Ekans by the throat strangling it.
"Ekans, Poison Sting!" Jessie said as Ekans tried to attack only for Kimiko to tighten her grip on his throat.
Kimiko blasted Ekans' face a torrent of Blaze boosted flames out her mouth before coming to a stop. Ekans' face was roasted and mumbled out for mercy. Before Kimiko could strike again, Crimson stopped.
"Kimiko, snap out of it!" Crimson said.
Kimiko's eyes widen for a second before calming down and dropped the snake Pokémon feeling guilty about what she just did. Even Meowth and Misty had stopped to just stare which snapped him out of his confusion.
"I…I don't know what came over me." Kimiko said stepping back in fear.
"Glad dat wasn't me." Meowth said as Starmie even agreed.
Jessie came up taking up for Ekans and sullenly returned it to her ball.
"I'll tell you. Your drive to survive. You wanted to live and not fail your trainer, and it drew you to push yourself. That Ekans will live, but he'll think twice if he sees you again." Morticia said gently.
"Kimiko, take a break!" Crimson said returning her to the ball. "Morticia, let's finish this."
[Cues: Cowboy Bebop OST 4 – Powder]
That was when Jessie exploded into a rage and tried to punch Crimson screaming that he was a petulant child. Now in anime, women of this archetype in anime tend to get away with doing this with no comeuppance. Of course, given Crimson, he was not going to exactly take it. Add a triggering memory, and Jessie found herself grabbed by her hair.
Crimson's red eyes blazed as he slammed his heel into the side of Jessie's head sending her spinning and falling. She conked her head on the counter, and the moment was rather surreal. Eerie even, as Crimson walked up and pulled her up by her hair to look at him. Jessie looked up to see a cold stare into her eyes.
"You don't know who you're messing with!" Jessie said trying to sound intimidating.
All that warranted was a punch to the jaw that sent into the floor rendering her unconsciousness. James did not want admit defeat, but his concern overrode that. Hastily returning Koffing, he scooped Jessie up and said this was not the last he'll see of them. Crimson let them flee and shook his bloodied hand off.
[Music Ends]
"You know how to fight?" Misty asked returning her Starmie.
"I remember…it's just all in pieces." Crimson returning Morticia to her ball. "Sorry you had to see flip out like that."
"No, it was kind of cool to see you deal with her so calmly though. Remind me not to smack you." Misty said calmly as Nurse Joy came out with Chansey. "You can rest easy, Nurse Joy. They've fled."
"Thank you for your service, please allow me to heal your Pokémon." Nurse Joy said as Crimson handed it over. "Thankfully, the electricity is still working."
Vivi came rushing in asking where the thieves went only to be told it was already over.
"So, you took care of them all by yourself? Well, they could not have gotten far. I'll keep you posted, Nikki." She said rushing out to her motorcycle.
"So, Nikki, I mean Nurse Joy, about a room?" Crimson inquired.
"I'm sorry to stay that we're all booked for the night, and those criminal's exploding of the wall ended up damaging the last room available." Nurse Joy remarked sadly.
"It's fine. We'll find a place." Crimson said leaving the center.
Misty followed asking where and Crimson remarked that maybe there's a motel nearby. So, they began their search.
-=O=-
"Wait, what did you say his name was?" Professor Tree asked Joe.
"Crimson Ryūseigan." Joe said before asking why.
"Because that's the son of my old partner…Braydon who passed along with his wife. Last I heard, the kid was going through a nasty depression. My regret is that I didn't step in…" Prof. Tree admitted.
"Well, he's not depressed as far as I can see. He's got Pokémon and he's on his journey. Even caught that annoying rat, Gold Capone." Rusty said excitedly.
"Then, I need to find him." Prof. Tree said getting up to his computer. "Hopefully, he has the Pokédex that his father left for him."
"A custom Pokédex?" Joe asked with interest.
"Yes, he built his own to make the ultimate Pokédex, and he somewhat succeeded." Prof. Tree making the call.
-=O=-
"Shit!" Crimson spat.
Crimson really wondered how Ash got lucky enough to get a place to sleep yet most of the hotels and motels were booked. Apparently, there was some open tournament going down at Pokémon Tech.
"Misty, how do you feel about having to walk back to Pallet Town for a room at my home there?" Crimson asked.
"Going through the Rattata filled route again, I'd sooner sleep on the woods." Misty said. "What's that noise? Is that your phone?"
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm unbeatable
Walking down this endless highway
With nothing but my friends beside me
We'll never give in, we'll never rest
"You may want to pick that up. Whoever's calling is calling the Dex." Dex Bulma said as Crimson took his phone and answered.
"Moshi moshi…" Crimson said awkwardly.
"So, it really is you…look you're wondering how I have this number or know about your Dex. Its best you come to the Pokémon lab for me to explain. Oh right, this is Professor Tree."
Another memory. He had had meet him before…he was a friend of his father. Getting out of his pause, Crimson continued the call.
"Lemuel…I haven't heard from you in over a year, but it's good to hear you. I assume you're still at the same lab, so I'm on my way over." Crimson said before hanging up.
"That's weird…you acted like you didn't know, but all of a sudden you do." Misty said concerned. "What's going on with you?"
Crimson spotted a nearby bar and gestured for her to follow. Over a drink, Crimson explained that he had a scrambled memory. He did not tell exactly how or of his past life though.
"So, you know all about Pokémon, the places, and all that, but when it comes to your family and connections, it's all fuzzy at first. Never heard of anything like that before." Misty said finishing her Vaporean cocktail.
"Doesn't help that I had some form of depression apparently after my parents passed. That's all faded too, but I guess that's a good thing. I'm making better memories. Meeting you for one." Crimson said downing the last of his Eevee cocktail.
Misty blushed at that and the two had hurried to Professor Tree's Lab on the outskirts of the city. Crimson recognized the pot smell and was reminded of Lemuel's habits of that dank. Misty's nose wrinkled at the smell as the door opened. As they entered, they found Joe and Rusty there already.
"Thanks for coming to see me, Crimson." Prof. Tree said. "And I see you brought… a gym leader with you…"
"And you look like Professor Oak." Misty said dryly.
"Misty, don't patronize the man." Crimson said warily.
"It's not his fault." Rusty remarked as Misty facepalmed.
Crimson quickly got to catching up with Professor Tree leading to some light being shined on some of Crimson's past with his family.
"So, I have a sizeable inheritance…in the Sevii Islands!" Crimson said in shock.
"Yep. Your pops helped out the place big time, there. You got friends and allies there waiting for you. I should give you this." Professor Tree said giving Crimson a key. "It's to a house in Tanoby Town on Seven Island…it's yours now."
"Thanks, but you said there was more." Crimson said as Professor Tree unveiled it.
Two more Pokédexes just like Crimson. Professor Tree explained that he was supposed to give them to the top students for Pokémon Tech, but he feels it's up to Crimson to decide. Crimson looked at Joe and Rusty with a smirk causing the two boys look stunned.
"No way." Rusty said.
"Yes, I don't know why, but I feel that my father would have wanted you two to have them. Besides, no one expects the underdog, now do they?" Crimson said giving them to Rusty and Joe. "And besides, fuck Pokémon Tech and fuck Allison."
He began to remember the headmistress of that school, and, from the memories he had of her, they showed her as rather unpleasant.
"I don't know what to say. You give me the funds, and now you're giving me this! I don't know what to say…" Joe said tearing up a little.
"No one has even believed in us." Rusty said a bit emotional.
Professor Tree was more than glad to register Rusty and Joe as trainers and surprise them with starter Pokémon.
"Your dad also bred Pokémon for the new trainers to start with out of his and wife's bunch. They actually have names already given by the parents, and they've been out and about around the lab for a while." Professor Tree said. "In fact, you and Rusty already know them and bonded with them enough that I was planning to give them to you anyway once you were going to leave that dump."
Joe and Rusty's eyes widen as the professor handed them a pair of Dusk Balls to which they sent their new allies. For Joe, it was good to see Tobirama again and to have him join the team. For Rusty, having Alta Maria on his team would be great.
"I've never seen those Pokémon before." Misty said mildly surprised.
"That's because there from Kalos and Hoenn respectively." Crimson said getting the Pokédex.
"Froakie, the Bubble Frog Pokémon. From its chest and back, Froakie creates bubbles called Frubbles, which act as a cushion and soften the blow of an opponent's attack. It protects its skin by covering its body in delicate bubbles. Beneath its happy-go-lucky air, it keeps a watchful eye on its surroundings. It is one of the starter Pokémon of the Kalos Region." Dex Bulma said before continuing, "Swablu, the Cotton Bird Pokémon. Swablu has light and fluffy wings that are like cottony clouds. This Pokémon is not frightened of people. It lands on the heads of people and sits there like a cotton-fluff hat."
"Whoa, your Dex has the voice of Bulma…that's hot." Joe said with smirk. "I wonder what ours will have."
Alta Maria sat on Rusty's head on top of his hat completely at peace.
"Wait, Dragon Ball Z exists in this world…and apparently the other countries of "Earth"." Crimson thought as memories filled a blank.
"They'll have to boot up. So, you'll find out tomorrow morning. You two will need these if you're going to planning to leave tomorrow." Professor Tree said handing the pair new trainer bags with a few materials loaded up. "Courtesy of Pokémon Tech."
"Heh, now I'll need to do is get our things from our dorm, and we can kiss this town goodbye." Joe remarked.
"But what about the Purachinaken Tournament?" Rusty asked.
"Fuck that. It wasn't like we were going to win…we couldn't even get a third for a team." Joe said sourly.
"You too, now." Crimson said. "Unless, there's a restriction?"
"Only thing is…it's only for beginning trainers with no badges. It's all a big show to make the school look powerful." Joe said coldly before turning a determined tone. "But you know what? I think we can stay for it. Rusty, we should pick up Ann and Shoji. Might as well add them to the team."
Rusty nodded and the two were about to leave.
"Wait. Leave your Pokédexes with me. I think I can make some modifications. Plus, it's best you're not seen with them yet, so P-Tech gets suspicious." Crimson said as they handed them over.
Crimson took them up as they left and got to a workstation. Bits or pieces of schematics of his parent's work flashed in his head and he cracked his knuckles.
"Professor Tree, I'm going to need to a place to for me and Misty to stay. Pokémon Center's full." Crimson remarked.
"Your folks' old room is still upstairs. Here's the key to that and to the lab." Professor Tree said tossing him a small key ring with a shiny Charizard keychain. "Good to have you back. Tempted as I am to see what you'll do, Lunaris and I are exhausted. We'll wait for the morning. Night kid."
Professor Tree left the lab for his nearby house to crash for bed. Misty looked over at Crimson who set his Pokédex on the table.
"Bulma, I'm going to need your A.I. as back up. I wish to put the finishing touches on the translation features." Crimson as Dex Bulma light up.
"Of course, Crimson. I will assist the best I can." Dex Bulma remarked.
"Misty. I'm going to need to find a convenience store and buy a few pairs of wireless headphones and earbuds." Crimson said giving her some Pokédollars.
"Sure. But if it this enough, you'll pay be back, right?" Misty asked.
"Of course." Crimson said as he got out his holo-sphere (basically a futuristic compact laptop) connecting it to the two Pokédexes.
Misty took off completely forgetting them they would have to share a room.
-=O=-
"Totally worth the trouble." Joe said spinning a Luxury Ball on his finger. "Ann will make good for the team."
"Shoji's going to make mine a real…wait…isn't that Nigiri?" Rusty said spotting the familiar Smoochum.
Their headmistress had a Jynx, Charm, which he had bred two daughters out of it. A Machop that took after the father and a Smoochum who was relatively docile and kind. He had practiced Pokémon Care for a long-term assignment and the Smoochum was given to him to care for. It was one of few assignments he put a lot of effort into and when scores were being determined by the Pokémon, Joe was given a perfect mark. He had no idea that after that, she had been following him around. Now unknown to him, she had a giant crush on him. The irony of that was lost on Joe who scooped her up.
"Hey Nigiri, it's late. Why are you even…" Joe said as she produced a Love Ball. "You want me to have this?"
He took it up only for her to jump on it and let herself get captured.
"Joe, it's obvious she wants to come with you." Rusty said flatly. "Never told you this…but she's been following you around for a long time now."
"Well how about that…" Joe said mildly amused. "Too bad, I can't use her for the tournament…"
-=O=-
-Somewhere In the Kanto Region (*cough* Viridian Gym *cough*)-
Inside of a darkened office, a man clad in an a long sleeved black shirt that bore the red R on his chest with a large V neck that shows off a white undershirt, black slightly baggy trousers, and black shoes with dark hair was sitting at an expensive-looking desk, stroking the head of his pet Persian as he glares at the three quivering figures standing in front of him.
"You idiots had one job - one that even you dolts couldn't screw up - and you come back empty-handed. For your sake, you better have a good excuse for this failure. And explain why happened to your face, Jessie."
Jessie nervously sputtered, "We got interfered with our mission and..."
"By who?" The man behind the desk asked.
"A child got in the way." James said defeated.
Slamming his fist on his desk, the man snarls scaring the Rocket trio. "A mere child defeated you?! You three are absolutely useless! How are we supposed to taken seriously if you can't take care of one child!"
"B-but Boss, he was strong! Really strong! He was backed up by a gym leader!" whimpered James, causing the man to growl before turning towards one of the male grunts standing guard in the office.
"Bring me the footage from the Viridian Center feed - I want to see these this for myself."
With a quick salute, the grunt leaves the office leaving the three to pale. After a few minutes, he returns with a videotape in hand.
"Here it is, Boss - the Viridian Center footage from last night."
The man nods, prompting the grunt to walk over to a large television with a VCR set up beside it. After inserting the tape, he presses the play button.
As he watched the footage, the man's look of anger gradually changes to one of slight intrigue. He had immediately recognized Misty as the Gym Leader of Cerulean City, but it was the person battling alongside Jessie and James with ease that had caught his interest.
Turning to face the grunt from before, he asks "Check the Kanto databases, I want to know who he is.", prompting the grunt to take out a tablet-like device.
"Let's see...ah, here we are, Boss - the boy's name is Crimson Ryūseigan. From what it says here, he's a new Trainer from Pallet Town and he's only started his journey….this morning."
James and Jessie grimaced upon hearing this - despite the fact they had plenty of experience as Trainers, they had been soundly beaten by a rookie that hadn't even had a full day yet.
Needless to say, their pride as both Trainers and members of Team Rocket had taken a major beating.
'At least, I wasn't stupid enough to attack the trainer.' thought James as she gave Jessie a pitying glance.
"I know tis' looks bad, but I was holding my own 'gainst Misty." screeched Meowth in dismay, try to sound less pathetic.
"Be silent, you fool. You were getting completely beaten." snapped the man, causing the Scratch Cat Pokémon to quickly clam up.
After watching the rest of battle grimacing at the fact that Crimson had scared them enough to flee, the man pauses the video and turns his attention back to the three Rockets once more.
"You three will be given a new assignment - one that I believe even you idiots can complete." said the dark-haired man before pointing at the television, which had Crimson shaking off his bloody hand. "You three are to follow that boy and monitor his every move, understood?"
"Everything, Boss?" asked Jessie questionably.
"Everything. The people he contacts, the Pokémon he catches, things of importance that he does - I want you to monitor everything and report it back to me."
The three looked at each other questionably before James replies "Sure thing, Boss...but why?"
Smirking, the man says "Despite the fact that the three of you are among the lowest in our ranks, the fact that a newcomer had successfully managed to defeat two members of Team Rocket is no small feat, especially one that had just begun his career as a Trainer. You two were most likely his first battle, and he stayed completely calm. He wasn't even afraid of you two. Such potential talents would be beneficial to the organization's future if we were to recruit him to our cause."
Inwardly, he added 'Not to mention that it'll keep you three bumblers away from our larger-scale operations.'
"Wait...you want us to scout the brat to see if he's Rocket material?" inquired Jessie, getting a nod from the man in return.
Of course, the idea of Crimson as their superior was one, they did want to even think of.
"Exactly. You are expected to battle him every now and then as well, mainly to assess his skills along with your regular duties as a member of Team Rocket." said the man before he glared at the three once more. "Be warned that this is your last chance to prove yourself useful to me. If you screw this up..."
The three Rockets gulp nervously before quickly saluting the man and replying "Yes, Boss! We won't let you down, we promise!"
"Good, and one more thing. There's a tournament tomorrow being held at that annoying school, Pokémon Tech. You'll need to find a third teammate to join you, but you will do so and enter. I don't expect you to win, but I've hedged a sizeable bet that the deputy headmistress's rigged team isn't going to finals and/or that the headmistress's team to face the winner will lose. Your task is to ensure that one or both at least happen. After that, seek out that child. Now get out of here before I change my mind."
With another quick salute, the three hurry out of the office, leaving the man and his grunts behind.
-=O=-
Joe and Rusty returned to the lab to find a sweating Crimson putting the finishing touches as Misty watched with interest. She never expected this out of him, and she had to admit that he was growing more interesting by the minute.
"And done." Crimson said welding the last part shut. "Took a while, but I replicated it.
"Replicated what, exactly?" Misty asked.
"My translators that let me speak to Pokémon. I made two like mine for Joe and Rusty. As for you, I made it a bit special. This is a prototype that syncs with your mind and my Pokédex that will allow for you to directly speak to them. Now it's a buggy, but it should work." Crimson said as Joe and Rusty dropped their jaws. "Also, the Pokédex altercations are done, and yours should have similar features to mine. The radio app, Exp. Share mode, and programmed some voices into them."
"This is bullshit. Why I have to work with the pervert?"
Joe took up his Pokédex while drooling. The voice of Stocking Anarchy? Hell yes!
"Oh, this is going to be fun to wake up to." Joe said with glee.
"Dumbass, I swear if you ask me to anything other than my job, I'm going to shut down on you." Dex Stocking said.
"I have no intention of any nonsense. I have a duty and that's what I'll do."
"Tashigi. You got Tashigi. Oh man, of all the women, you picked the mousiest one." Joe said as Rusty took his up.
"How dare you! I am programmed to be just as capable!" Dex Tashigi.
"I like it already." Rusty said before pocketing it. "I'm more interested in the translators."
Midori, Edgar, Seel, and Morticia were sent out of their balls as Crimson set the translators for Rusty, Joe, and Misty. Rusty and Joe's were like his so there was no issue. Misty's had him attach the thing to her ponytail.
"Translator's a go. Go speak to your fucking creatures." Dex Stocking said coldly.
"What a bitch." Edgar said coldly.
"Piss off." Dex Stocking said.
"Edgar, at least she's useful." Joe said putting it away.
"Honestly, I'm at a lost on what to say." Midori chirped.
"Huh, your voice is muffled. I guess that's sensible considering the shell." Rusty remarked.
"This is so bizarre, a direct line to you. I don't know what to say other than affirm my loyalty to you, Misty." Starmie remarked.
"Morticia, now you can talk to Misty and these two." Crimson said.
"Excellent…I've had quite a few things to say. But it is late, and trainers need their sleep." Morticia said with a wry grin.
"Before we do that, we need to plan for the tournament. I need rules, restrictions, and any bullshit that might be pulled." Crimson said to Joe with a serious look on her face.
"Triple battle style. No, she does it to give her students the advantage to wipe them out quickly. We'd be limited to two Pokémon for each match and substitutions made only through knockouts. All Pokémon must be under Lv.30. And as for bullshit, I know for a fact that the deputy headmistress secretly hires a team to beat everyone else only to throw the match for the precious elites under the headmistress's nose." Joe explained.
Crimson had nothing but an evil grin on his face as he whipped out the bag of Rare Candies and TMs.
"We're going to have ourselves some fun and get some moves." Crimson said.
There would be much planning that night, evolutions to be had, and new moves learned. As Crimson sauntered up to the room, he let out the rest of his Pokémon to find. Of course, there was a ranch attached to the lab. Atlas found a big lake to sleep in along with Misty's Pokémon. Jett and Capone had to share one of the pet beds. Morticia slept on the desk watching as a wry smile as the sleeping pair of trainers were snuggling against one another.
-=O=-
In the halls of Pokémon Tech, Rusty and Joe had just finished the forms for withdrawal. Now they were on their way to for Ann, who was lookout to smell someone coming.
"Hide!" She warned as they dived behind some trash cans to see the deputy headmistress go by.
Against their judgement, they followed them to an empty classroom.
"Good. You three are here…normally, I don't like to associate myself with the likes of you. But I have a bet I made with an individual, and I want to assure that I win that bet. I'm paying a lot of money for this, so I ask you, can you do this?"
Joe's eyes went wide to see she was talking to three Team Rocket grunts. She knew that the deputy was dirty in ways that made the headmistress look like a saint, but Team Rocket. His focus shifted to the cute gold haired Rocket with triangular pink earrings.
"Damn, she fine." Joe thought.
"We can assure you that we'll get the done provided the money and the case will of those high-quality berries that your cute students grow." The gold haired woman said.
"I have a student. An orphan who's a real drag along with his retarded friend. Only reason I haven't threw him back into the streets is because he's really good at growing things. A shame he quit gardening club recently, but I have his last harvest ready to hand over to you." The deputy said. "A shame I don't have it so active students can partake in it other than my elite. It'd be an easy win. What dumbass uses a Kakuna?"
They all laughed, but Joe and Rusty were enraged. Both wanted nothing more than to go in there and kick her teeth in, but Joe calmed down enough to realize that this was ample blackmail material. Snapping a photo on his cell phone, the two and Ann slinked away.
"Wait a second. No way, Team Rocket would be able to walk in here unless the cameras are off, and security was sent home." Rusty said sparking an idea from Joe.
"That means the room that keeps the supplies for those rich fucks is left completely unguarded." Joe said as the two looked at her before barreling down the hall.
There was a storage room where supplies were taken to the students. The students of low rank (and the poor) were given crappy, low-quality materials to work with along with Pokémon that tended to be piss-poor stat wise or disobedient. Joe had to resort to stealing from the higher rank just for decent stuff to care for his Edgar and help Rusty with Midori. The high-rank students (or those that give a sizeable "donation" to both Allison and the deputy's bank account) were given the good stuff, and just as Rusty said, it was unguarded. They rushed in and there was the motherlode. Poké Balls of higher quality other than the standard stuff, evolution stones, Full Restores, Hyper Potions, Max Potions, Max Elixir, Full Heals, Max Revives, and a case full of Rare Candy.
"Jackpot?" Joe said.
"Joe, I think we could pay back Crimson and then some. We'll need to store this stuff to our PC storage and fast." Rusty said pointing to a PC. "Joe, do you still have…"
"The mobile keyboard and mouse. It's the tools of a man who doesn't want to get caught." Joe said getting them out of his bag. "Let's get raiding."
Rusty was not one to do things like this, but their headmistress made him quash any moral reservations. They took their fill storing away to their accounts. Joe made sure to send a sizeable to an old bully's account. They needed a fall guy, and he and his friends were perfect.
"Oh ho…Cardin. Having Sky hack your grades up is going to backfire on you royally." Joe said as he finished off.
Joe and Rusty would head to their dorm readying for bed, but not before using a Leaf Stone on Edgar. Joe planned to buy one from the school store to cover his tracks tomorrow.

(A/N: Don't expect Joe and Rusty's stats to be regularly shown. As for them joining Crimson and Misty, I'm torn. On one hand, it'd be cool. On the other hand, Joe could be total cockblock for anything I could have planned for Crimson and Joe. So, I'll let things develop, and have Rusty and Joe meet up with Crimson and Misty later down the line after everything in Viridian City. As for pairings in this story, I'm unsure of what to do with Crimson. Harem route would be optimal considering the position Crimson is in. At the most, Crimson would have his one-offs, friends with benefits, and actual lovers over time. Everyone else is up in the air. Next time, a tournament, but no arc to it because I don't intend for it to be long at all. Side note, yes, obviously Butch and those three had no idea that Giovanni was betting with someone from the school.)
