(Route 25| April 8th | 9:00a.m.)
Crimson could have chosen to have dealt with the threats that Chad was talking about yesterday, but he wanted to finish his day of training. He even included Chad in the mixing who was more than geeked up to get involved. After being given a few Rare Candies, Chad now had a fully evolved Arbok and Sandslash. Of course, Crimson had given ten of them to Rhint to which got him to evolve before using the TMs to get him some moves.
"Ok, we're ready. Tent and stuff are packed." Crimson remarked. "Now give me details."
"First, we need to meet up with everyone. Follow me." Chad said as his Sandslash trailed behind him.
Crimson followed along with Rhint on his shoulder. Crimson had chosen to wear similar clothes with the only changes being that the tank top was themed after a Premier Ball, an opened blue buttoned Alola Shirt, a pair of red Aviator shades, and red socks under his sneakers. Chad was in the same clothes Crimson meet him in. He had led Crimson to small camp where a Camper, Picnicker, and a Hiker were all sitting around talking.
"Yo, guys. I'm back." Chad said coming up.
"Dude, where have you been man? They've be getting….wait your Sandshrew evolved? Congrats, man." The camper said jovially.
"Supply run, but then I ran into this guy who can help us. This is Crimson. Crimson, meet Teruo, Kelsey, and the big guy is Nob." Chad said making introductions.
"Wait, the same guy who smashed that school of ignorant dickbags. Dude, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. I used to go to that trap 'till I left because I couldn't take it anymore…that and the leech of my ex-girlfriend. Glad I did, never would have meet a real lover in Kelsey." Teruo said brushing a bit of Kelsey's hair aside getting a small blush on her face.
"A pleasure, but can someone explain who these three bitches are?" Crimson asked.
"I can. You see, a few months back, a trio of sisters moved into the area and were causing trouble for everyone in the area. From what we can gather, they're not from Kanto. Probably Unova or America, they got the accent for it." Nob explained.
"And the trashy behavior." Teruo said with a snarl. "The Kanker Sisters basically bully everyone here."
"Wait, Kanker Sisters?" Crimson thought. "Oh great…"
"All right, point me in their direct…" Crimson said as he sensed a new presence.
Chad, Teruo, Kalesey, and Nob all scowled as Crimson backed up to turn around to see one of them come up.
Maylin Kanker. Crimson looked her noting that she in terms of body she looked akin to her older FusionFall counterpart. Her blonde hair went down to her shoulders and she still had her buck teeth and freckles. Her eyes were not exactly intimidating without the backup of her sisters.
"The outfit looks like a trailer trash version of May." Crimson thought.
She wore a grey shirt with red semi-circle, red Lycra shorts, grey ankle socks, pink sneakers, pink fingerless gloves, a blue bandanna with a white skull around her mouth, and a beige one strap backpack. Aside from the two Pokéballs on her pink belt, she also had a baseball bat in hand.
"Well well, if it isn't Chad. You bolted before you could hand over the rest of the contents of your wallet." May said twirling the bat in hand.
"If I had given you anymore money, I wouldn't be able to afford any food." Chad snapped keeping on his scowl. "Like hell, I'd pay you."
"Well, Marie and Lee sent me out to find you and I'll be dealing with you, right now." Maylin said readying to swing.
She swinged but Crimson preformed a spin kick to block it. With a bit of pressure, he knocked it right out of her hands leaving it to clatter on the ground.
"Who the hell are you?" Maylin hiss holding her hand.
"The guy who's ready to kick your ass if you pick that up again, May." Crimson said fiercely taking a stance to fight.
"Fine, I'll leave you to the dogs. Go Muttley and Thrasher!" May said sending out a Growlithe and a Poochyena.
"Arbok, let's go!" Chad said sending out his Arbok to back Rhint up. "Hope you don't mind doubling up. She's pretty weak compared to her sisters. And I want some payback."
"Fine with me." Crimson said shoving a Lucky Egg within Rhint's shell.
[Cues: Super Smash Bros Melee - Battlefield 2]
"Muttley, Fire Fang that turtle! Thrasher, Tackle that snake!" Maylin ordered.
Muttley's mouth seeps of glowing orange teeth as he and Thrasher charged at their opponents.
"Bubblebeam, Rhint." Crimson ordered.
"Arbok, Iron Tail!" Chad ordered.
Rhint opened wide forming a blue ball in his mouth and it releases a steam of blue bubbles from the orb pelting Muttley, but Thrasher managed to tackle Arbok. Muttley was forced back but Maylin had Thrasher bite Arbok.
"Toxic." Chad said slyly.
"Biting a posion-type issss a bad move." Arbok said as his body oozed poison causing Thrasher to let go coughing up toxins.
"Thrasher…" Maylin said concerned of its health.
"I think I've been poisoned, Muttley." Thrasher said as his cheeks became a sickly shade of purple.
"Lousy snake, how dare you!" Muttley snarled out.
"If you got a problem, talk to the tail." Arbok said flatly.
Muttley charged at Arbok to try to bite him with Fire Fang only for to get sprayed by Water Gun right into Maylin knocking her to the ground. Thrasher could only whimper realizing the poison was eating away at his consciousness and his strength.
"May, take a look. Just give up…because I rather not leave your partner to suffer any more than needed." Crimson said courteously.
"To hell with that, like I'll back down." Maylin said defiantly. "Thrasher, get up and fight!"
Thrasher forced himself up and let out a howl beginning to glow white.
"You're…evolving?!" Maylin said as Thrasher began to grow and change.
Now stood Thrasher as a Mightyena with a new ability, Quick Feet, which increased his speed.
"Mightyena, the Bite Pokémon, Mightyena travel and act as a pack in the wild. The memory of its life in the wild compels the Pokémon to obey only those Trainers that it recognizes to possess superior skill." Dex Bulma parroted. "This Mightyena has the ability, Quick Feet, amping Speed if it is inflicted with a status problem."
"Shit." Chad said flatly.
"Thrasher, use Thunder Fang on that turtle!" Maylin said as his fangs sparked with electricity.
"Why the hell didn't she do that earlier?" Both Rhint and Crimson thought.
"Aura Sphere!" Crimson said as the world around Rhint came to a standstill.
Rhint closed his eyes focusing on the energy between his hands right as Thrasher came in for the killing shot. But, Rhint leapt back forming the blue sphere in his hands and smirking.
"Dodge this!/Dodge it!" Rhint/Maylin said throwing it at him.
Thrasher dashed out of the way, but the sphere followed him relentlessly as he tried to outrun it. But the poison ate at his strength causing him to falter leading to him getting hit earning Rhint and Arbok the win.
"Thrasher!" Maylin cried out in concern.
[Music Ends]
Panic set in realizing that for once she was beaten and cornered. Nob and the others were cheering for them as Teruo was hastily calling up a buddy about what happened. Maylin returned her Pokémon in silence.
"Can believe I get to say this? But pay up, Kanker." Chad said geeked up as he hugged his Arbok.
Maylin said silent stepping back as Chad walked up expecting pay. Crimson realized her foot was nearing her bat.
"Shit, Chad duck!" Crimson said right as Maylin kicked the bat up into her hand.
[Cues: Cowboy Bebop OST – Rush]
"Wha—GYACCK!" Chad said as Maylin swung at his face knocking him to the ground before bolting.
"Thatsss….motherfucker!" Arbok hissed before checking on his master who was dazed.
"Oh, that bitch, did not just…" Rhint said before Crimson sent out Kimiko.
"Rhint! I'm gunning for her now!" Crimson said getting on Kimiko. "Kimiko, chase down that trashy blonde!"
Kimiko took off taking up Rhint in her arms. Chad got up still dazed and sore. Despite the bruise and thin stream of blood coming down, he chased after them as well with Arbok. He wanted a piece of the action.
"Damn it, wait up!" Teruo said as he and Kelsey ran after them. "Nob, watch the camp!"
"On it!" Nob said cracking open a beer.
Maylin thought she could outrun them only to smell fire. She looked behind her and screamed to see Crimson on a Charizard flying after her with a. She dashed through other camps interrupting a few Trainers to try and get them off her trail. Dashing into the forest, she hoped to lose them. After a while, she could not hear or see them. She stumbled into a tree, panting in exhaustion before moving on for home.
[Cues: Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show Soundtrack - Kankers Threat]
Home was a trailer in the middle of the woods. They may have been no longer in America, but they still lived like it. At the moment, Maylin found Marie sitting on a pile of loot they swiped. Where Maylin was pudgy, Marie was thin and lithe. She still had her short blue hair covering one of her green eyes in addition of a small ponytail, blue eyeshadow, and red painted nails. If Maylin was the trailer trash version of May, Marie was Hilda's trashy counterpart. Marie wore a Camo Cap, a white tank shirt with a Gyarados on it that reaches her midriff underneath a small camo sleeveless jacket, a blue bandana with a white skull around her neck, a pair of ruby piercings on her right ear, a pair of green denim shorts with a pocket chain, dark green wristbands with studs, black ankle boots with green laces and soles, and a pair of black socks underneath.
"May, what's wrong?" Marie said getting up off her loot.
"I…I…lost a battle!" Maylin said with tears in her eyes. "That Chad guy creamed me."
"Chad. That whelp with the tiny snake. Please tell me you're joking!" Marie said getting up.
"But it's huge now!" Maylin said panicked. "Plus, he bought a friend and he's really strong. I had to run from them…because they chased me after I clubbed Chad."
"May. You made sure to lose them before getting away!" Marie asked grabbing Maylin by her collar.
"I'm sure of it!" Maylin said as Marie got her phone out calling Lee. "What are you doing?"
"Calling Lee. Knowing you, you probably fucked up and we're going to have company!" Marie said sending out her Rhyhorn before getting on its back.
Lee came running as soon as she got the call. She still stood the tallest out of the group with her hair was still a curly mop of red hair that clouded her blue eyes. She was dressed a bit more for the coastal weather in a white bikini top with red polka dots with a tie in the front, a red opened shirt with white lining and a white circle on the back, matching bikini bottoms under white shorts with a pink belt with her Pokéballs, gold bangles on her wrists, and sandals.
"May, you better pray he didn't find this place." Lee said only for Kimiko to swoop down and drop Rhint onto the ground. "SHIT!"
"Yeah, you got away from everyone except me! What's stopping me from texting where I found you?" Crimson asked.
[Cues: Melee – Final Destination]
"This! Go, Steelix!" Lee said sending out the ironclad snake Pokémon.
"Rhyhorn! Thunderbolt!" Marie ordered as Rhyhorn's horn glowed yellow sparking with electricity.
"To the skies, Kimiko! Rhint, Aura Sphere!" Crimson said as Kimiko flew up to dodge the electric attack.
"Don't let that dragon get away! Steelix, Dragon Breath!" Lee said as Steelix fired a blue beam from its mouth at Kimiko.
"Kimiko, use Flamethrower!" Crimson said as Kimiko breathed down a stream of fire clashing against Steelix's beam.
Rhint charged an Aura Sphere before nailing Rhyhorn with it, but he ended up having to endure a Thunderbolt in return.
"Shit, if she gets that big bastard launching another one, I'm done for." Rhint said as Crimson returned him and sent out Jett.
"Jett, jump down and use Bulldoze! Kimiko, push forward!" Crimson said as Jett leapt down slamming the ground.
The attack hit both Pokémon getting the trainers to stumble as Kimiko's Flamethrower overtook Steelix. The combined damaged had knocked both Pokémon out leaving the Kankers to return their defeated Pokémon.
"Golbat, go get them!" Marie said sending out the poison bat Pokémon.
"Weezing, smoke them out!" Lee said sending out the gaseous Pokémon.
"Jett, return." Crimson said returning his trusty croc. "Lady Morticia, out of the shadows!"
Out seeped the ghostly lady of the hour and he made a mental note to get himself some psychic attacks or a psychic-type in the future.
"Golbat, Supersonic!/Morticia, Confuse Ray!" Marie/Crimson commanded as their Pokémon hit each other with their confusion inducing attacks. "Damn it!"
"Weezing, Poison Gas!" Lee said as Weezing spewed toxic fumes.
"Kimiko, fly up!" Crimson ordered as Kimiko flew up.
Crimson rolled out of the way to avoid the poison cloud before returning her and sending Jett back out.
"Golbat, go get that ghost with Poison Fang!" Marie ordered.
"Look at the pretty Pigdeys." Golbat said dazed.
Crimson had an idea and did not give Morticia an order just yet. Instead, he had Jett counter Weezing's Smog with Incinerate which blew up on the Poison Gas Pokémon leaving him a burn. Golbat managed to bite Morticia, and Crimson relied on the pain of the attack to rouse her enough to listen.
"Morticia, counter with Hypnosis!" Crimson said as her eyes glowed red.
She went back to being dazed and loopy as Golbat hit the ground fast asleep leading to a stream of curses from Marie. To add insult to injury, he whipped out a Full Heal and gone was the confusion on Morticia.
"Wait, don't you have one of those?" Maylin asked Marie innocently.
Marie eyed for pile of loot, but before she could Morticia had used Dream Eater defeating Golbat. Lee was inwardly worried, but swallowed that fear sending out Arcanine to back up Weezing.
"Arcanine, sic' em and bite down on that crocodile!" Lee said as the snarling Pokémon leapt at Jett. "Weezing, Double Hit!"
"Show them a superior Crunch, Jett. Morticia, Sucker Punch!" Crimson said as Jett leapt at Arcanine.
The fire dog sunk its jaws on Jett's throat to which he returned the favor as they fought for dominanace while not letting go. Before Weezing could use the attack that was not going to work on Morticia anyway, Morticia slugged Weezing in the face.
"That's the best you got, mutt!" Jett snarled.
"Shut up and bleed, you living purse!" Arcanine snarled back.
"Give him a taste of your Thunder Fang." Lee said before focusing on Weezing. "Weezing, Shadow Ball!"
"Jett, Morticia, return fire." Crimson said simply.
Arcanine tried using Thunder Fang only for it to fail.
"But why?!" Arcanine growled.
"I'm a ground and dark type, dipshit. Let's see if you can handle a Thunder Fang of my own!" Jett said clamping down electrocuting Arcanine with his fangs.
Both Weezing and Morticia clashed exploding making a massive cloud of black smoke.
"Finish it off with Hyper Beam." Lee said as Crimson called for Morticia to get in front of Weezing as it charged it.
"Grab it's bigger mouth using Ice Punch!" Crimson said as Morticia slapped a glowing blue hand on Weezing's mouth.
Weezing was gagging on the beam and the little Weezing's mouth was gasping for air. Jett threw Arcanine right into Weezing causing an explosion due to improper Hyper Beam launch. Both Pokémon were out of commission leaving Crimson the winner.
"Excellent work, you two!" Crimson said as Morticia and Jett came over. "And I believe, I won. I'll be collecting my winnings."
[Music Ends]
"How about a beating instead?" Lee said cracking her knuckles. "It's three against one."
Marie produced a pair of brass knuckles, Lee took up a piece of pipe, and Maylin readied her bat.
"Morticia, Jett. Stay out of this…this fight is mine." Crimson said in a low tone as he sent out all his Pokémon. "To the sidelines."
Begrudgingly, Morticia and Jett got the squad to the side as Crimson looked up at Lee.
[Cues: The Boondocks OST – School Fight Theme]
"Now it's three on one, now come and face me." Crimson said taking a stance.
All three came running in to attack him, and he put his hands on his sword closing his eyes sensing the area around him. Taking a breath, he leapt into the air performing a circular swing that launched an air compressed projectile spiraling down at them, sending the three flying.
"Damn, this guy got moves." Rhint said taking off his shades to better watch the battle.
Crimson landed on the roof of the home sheathing his blade before jumping down as the Kankers got up to their feet with egos and bodies bruised. Marie sprang first trying to hit him, but her movements were sloppy despite her strength.
"You may be strong, but you lack skill!" Crimson said blocking both her punches before headbutting her, which broke her nose.
"Skill can't stop a bat to the head!" Maylin said as she swung only for his to catch it. "Ohh….shi-"
She was cut off with a back kick to the stomach her which he used to hit Marie in the stomach before kicking off her of him. Crimson lifts one of his legs up high and hooks his foot around Marie's neck.
"Reception!" Crimson said using that leg to smash Marie's face into the ground before he dropped the bat.
Flipping off of her, he drew his katana clashing with Lee's pipe only for him to kick Lee between the legs before headbutting her to the ground. Sheathing Daimonji, he got sucker punched in the jaw from a smirking Marie.
"Sorry, but you're going to need a little more than that. Collier!" Crimson said slamming a kick into Marie's neck. "Flanchet!"
He spun around slamming his heel into Maylin's stomach causing her to lose her lunch before whirling around to elbow Lee in the face. He grabbed her shirt's collar glaring at her.
"Give up." Crimson said firmly.
"Fuck you." Lee spat.
Crimson pointed to his Pokémon who while some were bruised were still conscious and could jump in at any time. Lee glared at Crimson, but ultimately she admitted defeated having no other choice.
[Music Ends]
A few minutes later, Pokémon were returned and the Kankers were patching up their bruises. Lee handed Crimson a big stack of Pokédollars.
"Now there's the matter of your thievery. I should be responsible and call up the cops." Crimson said. "Or at least let Chad and everyone else here know your location."
Now the Kankers had panic in their eyes as their hiding spot was basically a safe haven to recover and recuperate. They had a lot of enemies and they could not exactly defend the place all day long. The three girls huddled together trying to decide what to do before breaking away to face Crimson.
"Now we don't have to call the cops. We can settle this another way, cutie." Marie said flirtatiously wrapping her arms around his.
"May, go return some of that stolen stuff. We'll deal with him." Lee said shoving Maylin towards the loot.
"Ok ok, no need to push." Maylin said hauling off the loot.
The moment she was gone, Crimson broke out into a bit of laughter.
"So, you want to use your womanly charms?" Crimson remarked.
"Worked for mom." Marie said with a cheeky grin. "So, what can I do for you?"
"I'll hold you to it because I'm not itching to take you up right now." Crimson said pulling away. "But I will take your phone numbers."
With three new numbers, he made his leave much to the bewilderment of the two. Both of them could breathe a sigh of relief, but they were curious on why he passed on the offer.

(Cerulean City| April 8th | 3:00p.m.)
"You should have called the cops." Misty said while on the phone.
"Nah. It's fine. I got Chad's number, and he'll let me know if anything going down." Crimson said. "But how are you?"
"Training my team and making progress. Evolutions were made." Misty remarked. "Looking forward to getting to our battle. Where's your next plan?"
"That rich neighborhood called Seacrest. I'll get there come tomorrow morning." Crimson mused.
"You know that place used to only have two rich families living there, the Kojiros and the Lillis living there before it recently expanded as rich people from America and a few other places moved in to where it's a gated community. How are you even going to get in?" Misty asked.
"I'll leave a way. All you need is to look the part, Mis. I need to go. Later." Crimson said before hanging up.
"Chatting with your boyfriend." Violet teased.
"Oh, shut up." Misty said under her breath.
Misty decided she was in need of another swim, but not before shoving Violet into the water.
-o-tOI-o-
(Route 25| April 8th | 9:00p.m.)
With full bellies and having celebrated the Kankers' defeat, Crimson was peacefully sleeping away at Chad's camp blissfully aware of the Team Rocket balloon floating by.
"Do you see him?" James said looking around at the camps littering the ground.
"How is it this hard to find him? He sticks out like a sore thumb." Meowth muttered.
Jessie was on the phone before coming off to inform the two that they had new orders. James was surprised to hear that Team Rocket was planning something in his hometown. He groaned at the thought of going there. It had been several years though, and he wondered if things had changes. Back at the home of the Kankers, they all sat on the roof of the camper looking up at the stars.
"We got our asses handed to us." Maylin said humiliated.
"And I doubt anyone is going to be afraid of us anymore." Marie said with a sigh. "So, what do we do now?"
"We should move elsewhere, and maybe get those badge things on the way." Lee said sucking her teeth. "That guy played us, and I won't stand for it!"
