(Seacrest, Route 25| April 9th | 8:00a.m.)
The guard had opened up the gate and Crimson went in fuming. Gilbert had been hanging around and talking smack about him. Well, he was about to give that entitled stain a reminder to not write checks he could not cash.
"Now I need to find the Wuncler Country Club." Crimson thought. "Ok, I just need to find that big stupid W and loads of gold."
Too bad, the city looked really ritzy and lavish. Groaning, he had to ask for directions, but he knew he had to dress like he was made of money. So off to the nearest boutique to spend some money.
-oxo-
"Can't that asshole do nuthin' but talk about himself? He's been at it for a half hour." Riley said annoyed.
Riley normally didn't go to the country club, but Wuncler was holding a breakfast social. Who was he to deny free food? Huey even had a similar thought of wanting to deck the newcomer especially for apparently badmouthing some fellow black guy that this newcomer apparently knew. Gilbert sat at a table sitting with the likes of the Yaoyorozu heiress and the visiting Tenya heir. Huey was not the only one annoyed with Gilbert though. Little did they know, Crimson was listening and ready to make his debut.

Confidently, he strode it and said with a bit of a grin, "Gilbert, you're one to be talking shit. I believe that I won our first battle. Must you lie to stroke that fragile erect…I mean ego."
Gilbert nearly choked on his breakfast, Riley was laughing, and Thugnificent clapped for him. Crimson opted to wear a black, double-breasted suit with dark red buttons, a matching tie, a long-sleeved buttoned dark red shirt under the suit jacket, black boots, and his blade at his side. His hair was slicked a bit and his style made him stand out. Considering Gilbert had done something but talk rather harshly of Crimson, he shot those words down. It didn't help that his little crude joke got a few laughs as Gilbert got up.
[Music Ends]
"Why are you even here, Crimson? This place is for the wealthy. Not the scrubs. Unlike you're here to serve me my second round, beat it." Gilbert said harshly.
"Oh, I will, after I deliver this message from the Pokémon League. You see, there was a bust a few days back about a Gym Leader giving badges away. I expected better than you then to take a free badge you didn't earn, but then again, you're not exactly the bright bulb. Money can't fix stupid." Crimson said confidently.
Ozpin was trying not to laugh, and Crimson took a brief glance to see he was in a universe where Ozpin and Salem were living their lives even having their daughters.
"Take that back, kurombo." Gilbert said only for Crimson to glare him down.
"Can you do is yell racial slurs? I can at least insult you on a million other things. Your drunkard of a mother, your neglecting father who likes Rei more than you, or the fact that you've lie to hide the fact you're simply a loser." Crimson said nonchalantly.
Ed Wuncler made sure to prevent Ruckus from interfering as he was getting a lot of entertainment from this. Gilbert forced himself up.
"If you're done being a little shit, we'll settle this like men." Gilbert said getting his Pokéballs out.
"Well if you're done being a little bitch, you can accept the loss you're going to get." Crimson said doing the same.
"Damn, this nigga is on fire." Thugnificant said chuckling.
"Oh, how cute. They're going to battle." Salem said as the likes of Balalaika rolled their eyes.

"Ivan, it's go time." Gilbert said sending out Ivysaur.
"Chuka, grow some spores and get into gear!" Crimson said sending his Parasect.
"Really, a Parasect? Have you no taste?" Gilbert jeered.
"Kind of have to side with Gilbert on this. Parasect's stats are overall rather poor." Iida said as Crimson rolled his eyes.
"Base stats. But you forget to acknowledge how it is raised, move sets, and the like. But gladly, refrain from my picks because I'm about to show you my skill." Crimson said seriously. "Chuka, ready yourself."
"Right!" Chuka said taking a stance.
"What you think you can take me on, mushroom?" Ivan taunted. "Lemme stop that right now."
"Ivan, Vine Whip!" Gilbert said as vines came out of Ivan's bulb grabbing Chuka's claws. "Now use Headbutt!"
Ivan charged to land the attack, but Crimson had a plan in mind. Chuka had a chipper grin on her face.
"Use your Effect Spore." Crimson said as Chuka spewed spores get in Ivan's face blinding them. "Now, Metal Claw!"
With her claws glowing grey and metallic, she slashed at Ivan sending him rolling down while shaking from paralysis.
"Looks like he got paralyzed. If I recall correctly, Effect Spore is an ability common among Grass Pokémon with the Paras being famous for it." Momo said thoughtfully. "That's why it's common to deal with them with ranged attacks."
"That's actually clever. He basically let him attack first and caught him off guard." Iida said stroking his chin. "I might have been wrong."
"Trust me, Effort Spore is a real annoyance to deal with." Oscar said shuddering at the thought.
Freed from vines, Chuka scuttled in circling Ivan. Gilbert tried to have him use Poison Power only for Ivan to shake from paralysis.
"Ugh, can you not disappoint?" Gilbert said as Crimson had Chuka uppercut Ivan with Brick Break. "Since when can a Parasect learn Brick Break?"
"Since I taught Chuka Aerial Ace!" Crimson said as Chuka becomes engulfed in streaks of white light.
With increased speed, Chuka rammed Ivan sending him flying into another table covering Iida in hot tea. Ivan was out of the game, and Gilbert twitched.
"Good work, Chuka." Crimson said as Chuka scuttled back to his side. "So, Gilbert? Done being a one-pump chump?"
"Ok, are the innuendos really needed?" Huey asked.
"YES!" Riley, Ed I, and Robert said in near unison. "Now shut up!"
"No, I got more. Keene, tear the air!" Gilbert said sending the fearsome Fearow.
"Marquesha, let's ride on these fools!" Crimson said as out came the "ghettomon" of the hour.
"Ay-o, what up? Who the asshole I have to fight? Birdbitch over there?" Marquesha rapped out.
"Oh my gosh, a real Clefable! It's so cute! Can I hug it please?!" Jasmine pleaded.
"Fuck off. I'm fighting here." She said crassly as Crimson waved Jasmine off.
"The hell kind of name is Marquesha?" Gilbert asked.
"It's cultural, you piece of shit/trifling ass bitch!" Crimson/Thugnificent said near the same time.
"Fearow, deal with this mess with Aerial Ace!" Gilbert said as Keene sped at Marquesha with white streaks trailing.
"Shock Wave." Crimson said as Keene's eyes went wide with panic.
"You're bluffing!" Gilbert said only for Marquesha to glow with electricity. "Oh fuck, you're not bluffing. Keene, dodge it!"
"That's not going to work." Momo said under her breath.
Marquesha's body becomes surrounded in electricity and she released a beam of light blue electricity from her body. Keene flew to get away, but it got her. Down went Keene.
"It doesn't even miss. Like Aerial Ace." Crimson said as Gilbert was getting more and more angry.
Gilbert sent out his last Pokémon, a Gyarados. Crimson would have been frightened had he not had one himself and he had not checked the Dex. It was only on Level 21, and Gilbert was expecting it to intimidate him to give up. Two could play at that game, and he sent out Kimiko.
"A dragon? Hell yeah." Flonomial cheered. "I can see myself now riding into town on it."
"Your Charmander…" Gilbert said fearfully.
"Oh yes, it's all grown up, and you know what else. It's going to give you overkill!" Crimson said getting his Mega Ring active. "Now, Kimiko! Mega Evolve and use Flamethrower!"
With a flash of blue light, Kimiko Mega Evolved and Crimson sparked with a bit of a more aggressive aura. His red eyes even seemed to glow.
"Ohhh…shit! What do I do?!" Gyarados said terrified.
"You can BURN!" Kimiko said spewing blue flames roasting Gyarados.
"Gyarados!" Gilbert said horrified before it fell.
The crowd was more shocked of Mega Evolution. To those who truly knew, Mega Evolution tended to only to be a thing in Kalos where even then it's still being researched. Thus, having the means to do so was extremely rare. Even more so of a case where it visibly affects the trainer. As both returned to normal, Crimson glared at Gilbert.
[Music Ends]
"From the look on your face, that was your last Pokémon. Now about you talking shit about me!" Crimson said cracking his knuckles.
Gilbert returned Gyarados and sheepishly shifted blame to Iida who was wishing he had not decided to take his holiday here with Momo. Crimson rushed over grabbing Gilbert by the collar and dragging him outside. They could hear the sounds of Gilbert screaming with every punch Crimson served him before Crimson walked back in. He even took up where Gilbert sat.
"Excuse me, but who do I ask to place an order?" Crimson asked as Ruckus protested.
"Ruckus, get this man whatever he wants for breakfast for him and his Pokémon on me. I'm surprised I couldn't recognize the kid who was the first to win the tournament against those elitist Japanese snobs in Pokémon Tech." Ed I said as a few people facepalmed that they did not recognize who he was.
"Well then, I might as well let the rest of the gang out." Crimson said as Dex Bulma release Jett, Morticia, and Rhint. "Gather around team, we're eating like kings today. What will it be?"
"Fruit salad with extra pineapple." Morticia and Jett said together.
"I also want a plate of bacon." Jett touted.
"Caesar salad with ranch." Rhint said.
"I'll just take standard Pokémon food, but I would have a bottle of spring water. Their finest." Chuka said kindly.
"Serve me up some fuckin' pancakes with a pile of sausages and eggs up in here!" Marquesha rapped.
"I'll just have eggs, a bit of bread, a lot of meat. Maybe some ham, bacon, and sausages." Kimiko said sheepishly.
After looking at the menu, he placed the orders as Ruckus begrudgingly write them down.
"Humph, figures a monkey child would speak ani-AAUGHH!" Ruckus screeched as Jett bit him. "Get off!"
"Jett, release this man." Crimson said as Jett let go. "Just ignore his rambling. He hates himself more than anyone else."
Crimson could have pressed harder but did not want to risk poisoned food. Ruckus went off and returned with his food. The trainer of the hour found himself a bit of the center of attention which was something he was not exactly used to. He never did see himself as a protagonist. Marquesha had to enduring being hugged by a few squealing at her cuteness.
"So, I had just beaten those three chicks in battle. I ask for the money, and they jump me. Now they would done damage to anyone, thankfully I knew martials arts. A bit of that and my blade left soundly beaten." Crimson said rattling off about that story. "Man, yesterday was wild."
"It's almost as if your life's full of excitement." Iida said as Crimson laughed that off.
Crimson finished his meal and said, "I guess so. I feel it's months when it's only been a little over a week since I started. Feels like a speed run."
"Well, even if it goes fast. Don't forget to enjoy it to the fullest, my dog." Thugnificant said raising a glass.
Before Crimson could respond, Jessebelle cut in asking that since he fought with Team Rocket, did he meet up with James. He had noticed Jessebelle was a lot…more reasonable and worried for James than before.
"He's fine, but might I ask you, why should you care? Look, the man has chosen to team up with a criminal organization that's actively messing up a good thing for the sake of greed. Even if he didn't want to be under his parents or married to you, he could literally do anything with his life. And this asshole goes to willingly join up a criminal organization openly brutalizing Pokémon and humans. You tell me if that's husband material. Doesn't help he's shacked up with some chick that looks just like you." Crimson said producing a picture of Jessie on his phone.
To say that Jessebelle was livid was an understatement. Crimson was not one to throw people under the bus, but he made an exception. If the trio were going to be a part of Team Rocket, they were going to have to suffer for it. Living in the Pokémon world had Crimson thinking and realizing James…had a bit less reason to end up a Rocket. Jessie had the excuse of being poor, her mother already in there, and her string of failures. Meowth on a similar boat.
"You said you sliced through bullets, and I want a demonstration." Ed III said excitedly with a gun in hand.
"Yeah, I don't thin…" Crimson said before sensing a familiar trio and her.
The words on Crimson's mouth died as his face took a worried and serious explanation. Ozpin and Salem, however, were surprised by this.
"So, we have an energy senser out of the young. I wonder if he's an auric." Salem whispered to her husband.
"Oh, he is. Note that symbol on his Pokédex. Braydon's. No doubt his son." Ozpin whispered back. "And part of me is curious if he's just as good."

(A/N: Yes, no level gains this time. Let's be real, we all knew that Gilbert was not going to pose a threat for this rival battle. I had fun doing this chapter and setting up what's to come. As for those, who want the full list of who's living in Seacrest aside from Jessebelle and James' parents. It's made up of most of the Boondocks cast, Momo from MHA, Motel Moscow, Ozpin, Salem, and Oscar from RWBY. Yes, in this universe, Oscar's their oldest son with the four daughters as younger quadruplets (their names: Ami, Mayl, Liz, and Isabella). As for teams, I'll take suggestions on what you readers got except for Ozpin, Oscar, Salem, Momo, and Iida. Those are planned already.)
