(Mt. Moon Square | April 4th | 5:30p.m.)
For Crimson, it was a long day throughout thw mountain. Fighting Team Rocket scrubs with low-level mons before finally getting to Miguel at the top of Mt. Moon. Due to his paranoia, Miguel had sent out his Pokémon for a battle and Crimson soundly trounced him before Seymour had knocked his partner upside his head. As an apology, Miguel offered to part with one of his recent fossils finds, a Helix Fossil or a Dome Fossil. Crimson choose Helix wanting to get an Omanyte later on. The group along with Naho were in the house at the top which was Seymour's home which doubled as a shop for those who make it to the top. The group were all having dinner.
"I'm sorry I assumed you were a part of Team Rocket. Frankly, you're too good for them." Miguel said with a laugh.
"Well I am not really too mad, because I got a good deal out of your paranoia." Crimson said looking down at the fossil.
The hair on Crimson's neck raised up as for those brief milliseconds, something had happened. A faded memory of a technique he had past….energy sensing. While Crimson would be geeked up for this, the fact that he got it back right when it was flaring up that he was in danger. He looked to the window seeing the flash of metal, and shoved his bag and his Dex into Morticia and Jett's hands before going for his katana.
CRASH!
She came flying through the window with a Colt M1911 drawn to fire.
BLAM! SLING!
A bullet had torn the side of Crimson's shoulder and jacket, but Crimson had slashed the gun in two and the assailant's shoulder. The assistant falls on top Crimson to which he kicked through the opened door that Naho's Clefairy did to ensure the fight went outside. She tumbled to the ground as Crimson rushed out sheathing his sword in the process.

"So, your sword isn't just for a show. Not bad, kid." She said darkly. "What's it name?"
Crimson didn't know why he did, but he answered, "Daimonji. What's yours?"
He walked out glaring at her.
"Name's Domino. You have something I want. Maybe if you give it to me, I'll leave you mostly unharmed." Domino said.
"And you have something you stole, lady. I'd ask you to give it up, but I know I'll just have to fight you for it." Crimson said cracking his knuckles.
He removed his hat letting it drop to the ground and took a fighting stance. Domino had a shiver for excitement for once. Not everyday someone resides to do the fighting themselves in this country.
Crimson swooped in with a spin kick only for Domino to duck before landing a few blows to his chest. Crimson grunted from the pain, but backhanded Domino to get her to stagger back. Misty and the others ran outside to watch the fight. While it was clear to Misty that Crimson was skilled in how to fight, Domino was showing clear signs of being just as skilled if not more so. Domino was able to parry and block more of his punches before kicking him hard enough to slam into the wall of the mountain. Domino ran for the knockout blow, but he grabbed her arm to swing her face first into the wall giving her a barrage of kicks to her back.
"Collier Shoot!" Crimson said jumping to land a powerful kick to her neck.
However, he only grazed her cheek causing his foot to hit the wall. Kicking off the wall and landing on his feet, he watched Domino pull herself off the wall.
"Damn it, what is that woman made of?" Misty said to herself.
"So…our trainer can fight? That's cool." Chuka said interesting.
"What a badass!" Prince Magnus said as the group of wild Clefairy watched. "Smash her face in!"
"Calling your attacks? Really? How childi..." Domino said as Crimson screamed, "Éscalope! Œil! Nez!"
Crimson silenced her with a jumping kick to the forehead, straight on kick to her eyes, and another to her nose breaking it.
"Crimson, duck!" Sir Jett screamed as Crimson dropped to the ground to dodge her neck chop.
One of the rocks Crimson had bought was thrown right into Domino's nose breaking it further causing her to flinch and hold her face.
"FUCK!" Domino spat as blood dripped to the ground. "Ok, now it's definitely broken! I'm going to make a purse out of that fucking gator."
That got Crimson a tad perturbed as he said, "Yeah, I don't fucking think so. Joue!", before he struck her with his heel to her cheek.
Domino delivered a punch to Crimson's chest before sinking her other hand into Crimson's gunshot wound trying to make it worse. Crimson coughed and reeled in pain.
"FUCK!" Crimson spat as Domino twisted the wound to make it hurt more.
Misty was really wishing she knew how to fight, but she settled on the next best thing.
"Starmie, use Psychic to help Crimson!" Misty said as Starmie sprang into action.
Starmie's gem glowed glow light purple as Domino was surrounded by a purple aura forcing off of him.
"You can let you go, Starmie. I can finish this!" Crimson said panting.
"But…you're…" Starmie said only for Crimson to persist.
Starmie complied and Domino had to admit that she respected his resolve. Crimson readied himself to fight, but Domino got out of her stance.

"I'll give you props, kid. You can actually throw down, but there's something off about you. Your muscle memory is there, but your skill doesn't match up. Quite rare for a trainer to have the balls up to use your fists. You ain't a pussy like the rest." Domino said getting out the Claw Fossil and tossing it to him. "Take it."
Before Crimson could even ask, Domino whipped out a smoke bomb using it to make her escape. Crimson could have asked a question, but he got the stolen fossil back. Plus, he was wounded, exhausted, and probably needed a doctor. He stumbled back to the gang who all surrounded him.
"Crimson, are you…" Misty asked.
"Yeah. Thanks Misty…I owe you again." Crimson said breathing slowly to conserve his strength.
"I hope you don't mind, but I placed a call to Vivi. She and Lunari, the Jenny of Pewter, are on their way to come get you. Please don't exert yourself…thankfully your shoulder isn't too damaged." Dex Bulma said calmly.
"No, that's good." Crimson said as I laid a hand on Jett's shoulder. "Thank you for making that purchase from Flint worth the money."

[Cues: Caves of Mt. Moon - Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee]
Ash and Giselle were screaming their heads off as the Zubat would not leave them the hell alone. Giselle was kicking herself for having Ash buy the Repels. Those cheap cans only did last 100 steps and now they were out. Now they were the dumbasses. Brock? He was busy flirting with a Team Rocket grunt and was actually getting her attention.
"Brock?! HELP US!" Giselle screamed as the Zubats was swarming all over her.
Ash was rolling around on the ground as Pikachu was frantically zapping as many he zapping as many he could.
"Leave us alone, you assholes!" Pikachu screamed.
"We are the night, we are vengeance, we are MOTHERFUCKING ZUBAT!" The Zubat screamed divebombing Pikachu.
At least Brock caught a Zubat and got a girl's number.

(Mt. Moon Square | April 4th | 7:00p.m.)
"There you go, all patched up. Consider yourself lucky my Chansey knew Heal Pulse." Lunari said with a sigh wrapping up where Crimson's healing wound was. "Considering that woman was skilled enough to fend off multiple of our officers, you're either a prodigy or stupidly lucky."
Vivi hugged Crimson saying she was proud of him. The other officers had checked out the rest of the group before those officers descended down the mountain intending to find Domino or any other Rockets.
"I have to admit, it was really brave you to fight her even though she was armed." Seymour said sheepish. "I just froze up."
"I almost had as well…but I just moved through the motions. Glad for my trusty katana." Crimson said playing it off as no issue.
"Nevertheless…that was still impressive." Miguel said adjusting his glasses.
"Thank you both for trying to give me first aid while the cops were on the way. I'll pay for Fresh Waters I guzzled down." Crimson said as Miguel refused to be given pay for it.
"It's fine. Don't worry about it…insurance will cover it." Miguel said with a wink.
Crimson got his bag and his Dex back from his teammates before returning them all to their balls. Misty had come up ready to go herself.
"So, Misty? Shall we be going?" Crimson asked.
"Isn't it going to be a bit concerned you're wearing a torn and bloodstained jacket?" Misty asked a bit worried.
"Yeah, but it's still freezing. I'll hold onto it until I need to the next town. I probably could order a replacement." Crimson said looking at the Claw Fossil. "I'll just ask the Dex later."
"Wait before you go, I have a message from Pewter Museum." Lunari said while on the phone. "They want to hire you for a job."
"Depends? What is it?" Crimson asked.
"Well, they want you to protect the fossil and get it revived at Cinnabar Island. Seeing that you're gathering the badges, it's on your way." Lunari explained. "They want you to bring the revived Pokémon to them after you do so."
"I'll accept this job." Crimson said putting it back into his bag.
Lunari had chatted it up on the phone before addressing Crimson asking, "How does 250,000 sound for compensation?"
"Peachy." Crimson said.
"Wait!"
Crimson turned to see a Clefable come up to him, a wild one, with stars in her eyes.
"Please…you got to take me with you. Everyone around here is an Arceus-damned rock dancing pussy! What you did there was gangsta kicking the shit out of that bitch! Take me with you! I want to fight and fuck like a real hood!"
How to describe this one? She sounded like a ghetto version of Buttercup from the Powerpuff Girls. Well Crimson wasn't going to say no. A Fairy type was something he needed, and this was adorably humorous. Getting out a Moon Ball, it was a quick capture. However, there was the matter of who to send to the PC. Prince Magnus ended up being picked to which the Prince protested. Crimson pointed it that he'd be a poor match up against Misty and Jett had seniority. The prince pouted but accepted this decision. Prince Magnus was sent to the PC, and Clefable now joined the current team.

"Welcome abroad, Marquesha." Crimson said putting the ball on his belt.
"Marquesha? What kind of name is that?" Misty said.
"A ghetto one. You wouldn't get it." Crimson said before bidding goodbye to everyone.
He and Misty would make their way down the mountain taking in the sights. Misty, however, had a few thoughts on her mind. She was considering a few things…namely maybe learning a few things from Crimson. Marquesha was inside her ball cackling that she was free at last from those "pussies". She was hoping to get a crack at some skulls willing to give her a challenge.

(A/N: Crimson's first solo fight and it was interesting to make. His fighting style is a mix at the moment due to his scrambled memory. It'll solidify sooner on in the story, though. I hope you enjoyed it and the new addition of Clefable who is ghetto as all hell. By the way, the Boondocks are coming back in 2019! CELEBRATE!)
