(Celadon City | May 7th | 2:00p.m.)
"So, what exactly is your plan?" Rusty asked.
"I'll explain after we deal with getting you three the Rainbow Badge." Crimson said as they parked their bikes at the gym.
"Well, a gym full of flower girls and weed." Joe said with a chuckle. "Must be heaven in the making."
Sissi opened the door to be taken aback by the massive garden that the gym was made out to be. Erika sat on a pile of pillows passed out face down and smelling of weed. The Gym Trainers? Peacefully out cold with their Pokémon looking after them.
"Man, Erika has a nice rump/fat ass." Crimson/Joe thought
"Damn it, who forgot to lock the Gym?" Erika's Venusaur growled.
"Oi, Ven. It's been a while. I brought some challengers…can Erika be woken up?" Crimson asked.
Her Venusaur simply lashed her butt causing Erika to yelp.
"Who? Crimson…hey, you're back in Kanto." Erika said rubbing her sore booty. "Congrats on the bomb bust."
The Pokémon started to wake up their trainers as Crimson stated that he brought his friends to challenge her to a battle. Ultimately, Erika agreed to take on Sissi first leading Erika just using three Pokémon from another set for those under four badges. The match was called, and it was on. Sissi had done fairly well, with Erika giving her a challenge of a near even in power team of three. All and all, it came out to Urbain vs Erika's Tangela which evolved into Tangrowth much to the bear's ire as she was strangling him with Power Whip.
"Urbain, get up please! You got this!" Sissi pleaded as Tangrowth squeezed.
"Tangrowth, finish this up with Solar Beam!" Erika said as Tangrowth charged the beam of light where her mouth was.
"Game's over, Teddy." Tangrowth said as Urbain opened his eyes to hear Sissi gave one order.
"Fire Punch!" Sissi said as Urbain's fist roared with flames.
He punched the still charging Solar Beam head on which burned his arm, which inadvertently triggered Guts allowing him to feel nothing but adrenaline running through his body as he push forward slamming Tangrowth into the ground with all the force he mustered before collapsing on top of her.
"Both Pokémon are unable to battle, but with all three of Erika's down and out, the winner is Sissi of Kassai." Kay said as Sissi came up to help Urbain up to his feet.
"Don't worry, I'll get you all patched up. You did wonderful, dear." Sissi said as Urbain whimpered about his arm.
Erika hastily handed her the prize money, TM, badge, and the speech before Sissi rushed out to the center leaving Erika to take on Rusty and Joe. Crimson got comfy and lit up a joint. A small one not wanting to be completely blitzed out of his mind.
"Man, this place is so mellow and chill. I'm fighting to stay awake…but that's probably all the grass Pokémon causing that." Crimson thought.
This time, Erika opted to use the team she had against Crimson as she cited that the 'Cardinal Dragons' had to be held to a higher standard. She was also going to be joined by Coco to make things even.
"The official Celadon Gym Battle in now in session between the challengers, Rusty Beige and Joe Rogers of Viridian against the Gym Leader, Erika Tamamushi, and her assistant, Coco Adel. Being that the challengers have three badges, the fighters for the Gym will limit to just three Pokémon each. Let the battle begin!" Kay said as the battle was on.
[Cues: Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee OST – Battle! Gym Leader!]
"Venusaur, get in there!" Erika said as her trusty starter trudged into the arena.
"Phantamso, spotlight!" Coco said sending out a Pokémon new to mostly everyone.
A tall, avian Pokémon that resembles an owl. The upper portion of its face is dark green with a thin, orange mask-like marking encircling its eyes. Its eyes are reddish-orange and it has a hooked dark green beak. The feathers covering its wings and back are brown, while the rest of its body is primarily white. The three feathers at the tip of each wing are structured similar to fingers and have lighter tips. The backs of its wings and torso are dotted with many white spots, there are six on each wing. The inside of each wing has a line of upside-down, reddish-orange triangles across the top. It has long legs, feet with two toes facing forward and two backward, and short dark green talons. Its tail consists of three long, green leaves. A leafy hood covers its head and shoulders, and partially covers its face. The hood is smoothly draped across the shoulders and back but has uneven edges giving a ghastly look befitting its type.
"Decidueye, the Arrow Quill Pokémon, and the final form of Rowlett. Decidueye can nock and fire an arrow at an enemy in a tenth of a second, so its battles are decided in the blink of an eye. It fires arrow quills from its wings with such precision, they can pierce a pebble at distances over a hundred yards. This Pokémon has the honor of being the few dual type Starter Pokémon to completely change type without the use of outside proxies. Researchers are researching the reason for it's ghost typing." Dex Bulma rattling off.
"Ok, a Grass and Ghost type? That's interesting." Rusty thought. "Tempting as it would to match it against Midori, I should go for Nox."
Out came his trusty and loveable mutt, who took a battle stance ready to fight.
"All right, Edgar! You got my back!" Joe said sending out his Victreebel.
"Finally, someone with taste." Lori said praising Joe's choice in Pokémon.
"Phantasmo, U-turn on Edgar!" Coco said as Phantasmo glowed a bright green flying at Edgar.
"Edgar, dodge it and use Sunny Day!" Joe said as Edgar sprang into action.
"Nox, get in the middle and use Heat Wave!" Rusty said as Nox leapt in front of Edgar.
With a manic howl, Nox spewed waves of orange arid air out of his mouth. Erika had Venusaur use Protect to shield himself leaving Phantasmo to take the brunt of the attack. Despite the burning and the pain, he slammed Nox with the attack and returned to his ball. Nox snarled at the bruise that ghostly archer left on his snout. Coco swapped in favor of sending out a Ludicolo. This left Rusty undaunted as he had Nox spray Ludicolo with Toxic, badly poisoning it.
"Venusaur, Bulldoze!" Erika said as Venusaur's body becomes surrounded in an orange aura.
He stood on his hind legs before stomping down on his front two feet on the ground and creates an orange ring of aura pulsating from where he stomped, causing the ground to shake.
"Edgar, Venoshock on Ludicolo!" Joe said as Edgar hopped over.
"Ludicolo, use Weather Ball!" Coco said as Joe flinched.
Ludicolo charged a white sphere in his hands that turned red hot with fire from the sun as Edgar spewed a stream of greenish-purple liquid. Rusty had Nox use Inferno, but he was hit with Bulldoze. Edgar, managing to dodge the Bulldoze, got to hit Ludicolo first before being slammed with Weather Ball. Ludicolo screeched in pain as the liquid electrocuted him due to his poisoned state. Nox forced himself up.
"Nox, take a breath and let out your Hyper Voice!" Rusty said as Nox screamed, "WHHHAAAAZZZZZZZUUUUUUUPPPPP!"
The sound waves from his mouth was the finishing blow for Ludicolo to fall, but a Sludge Bomb claimed Nox leaving Rusty and Coco to swap out. Coco was tempted to use Torterra, but she scowled remembered that she left him at Day-Care. Which mean that out of her niche of grass Pokémon, there was her Parasect. She begrudgingly sent her out.
"Midori, it's showtime!" Rusty said as his trusty Beedrill took center stage.
"Edgar, how you holding up?" Midori asked.
"I could be better." Edgar said as Joe tossed him a Hyper Potion. "This Venusaur's an asshole."
"Really, I'm right here." Venusaur said glaring at them.
"And I don't give a shit!" Edgar said using the spray to heal himself. "I got news for you, you're getting fucked up."
Venusaur simply laughed and raised up a familiar stone that got Crimson to nearly choke on his blunt.
"A Mega Stone?" Crimson said as Erika pulled out a Key Stone out from in her robes. "Oh…shit."
"Totally worth giving up three pounds of weed in Sepia." Erika said activating it. "Now, Venusaur! Mega Evolve and use Leaf Storm!"
Venusaur and Erika were consumed by the energy as Venusaur stood as a Mega. Erika looked unchanged save for the light green glow in her eyes and her high seemed to vanish. Mega Venusaur raises his head and calls out, making multiple leaves gather around him and start to glow green. The leaves then spiral around him in a tornado-like fashion, then it points his head at Edgar and Midori and the leaves fire at them.
"Midori, Mega Evolve and endure with Iron Defense!" Rusty said activating his Mega Band.
Crimson noticed that Rusty was sparking with bioelectricity, his hair was slightly spiked, and had a glow to his burgundy eyes. Though, Rusty looked calmed and in control to which Crimson surmised to be attributed to Rusty's bond and the Pokémon being further evolved. A Gyarados is more likely to drive a guy a bit into aggression town than a Beedrill.
"Edgar, get behind her!" Joe said Edgar used his vines to use the now metallic Midori as a shield.
Midori took damage, but she barely felt it thanks to her ability.
"Parasect, use Stun Spore to freeze them in their tracks." Coco said as Parasect spewed yellow spores.
"Edgar, Stun Spore!" Joe said as Rusty added, "Midori, use Ominous Wind to blow it at them!"
"Since when can Beedrill learn Ghost type moves?" Lori said as Midori's eyes glowed purple as an eerie purple wind blasted out of her body.
Damage with the added status of paralyzing made things a bit favorable on Rusty and Joe's side. Coco called for Parasect to use Slash on Midori which failed as the attack which through Midori, who had a ghostly aura now. Parasect would slam right into a Weather Ball from Edgar knocking him out.
"Oh, I felt that." Crimson said putting out his blunt. "That had to hurt."
Erika realized that she was basically in a handicap fight now as the rules would not allow her to send another Pokémon she has out.
"Midiori, U-turn!/Venusaur, Sludge Bomb!" Rusty/Erika said as their Pokémon unleashed their attacks.
Both got hit, and Midori returned to her ball with Rusty sending Alta Maria out. Joe promptly swapped Edgar out for Jian. It was a barrage of Aerial Aces, Icy Winds, and Heat Waves that barreled through her Venusaur and Tangrowth leaving Vileplume. By then, Rusty had swapped back to get Midori but Sasame let herself out evolving into Sawsbuck.
"Sawsbuck, the Season Pokémon, and the evolved form of Deerling. An herbivorous species that can live virtually anywhere as their pelts adapt to the season. They migrate according to seasons, so some people call Sawsbuck the harbingers of spring. When the month is January, May, or September, Sawsbuck in is their Spring Form. When the month is February, June, or October, the season is Summer, they are in their Summer Form. When the month is March, July, or November, the season is Autumn, and they are in their Autumn Form. Finally, when the month is April, August, or December, the season is Winter, they are in their Winter Form." Dex Tashigi prattled on.
"I'm ready to fight, Rusty. Bring it on!" Sasame bellowed pumped up to fight.
"Jian, take a backseat." Joe said as Jian flew over to his side. "Sasame's got this."
"Definitely." Rusty said affirming her.
"Vilepume, Giga Drain!" Erika said as Rusty called for Sasame to use Take Down.
Out from Vileplume's hand came green beams of lights as Sasame charged at her glowing with orange streaks. As the beams hit the buck, Sasame's pelt began to glow as she continued to charge onward before mowing down Vilepume with Take Down landing a critical. Vileplume hit the ground as Erika called to get back up. Vilepume rose only to get smacked with Swift from Jian.
"What the hell/heck, Joe?" Sasame/Rusty clamored as Vileplume fell over.
"Sorry, I had to add the parting shot." Joe said with a shrug.
"And it's over, the winners are Joe, Rusty, Sawsbuck, and Skarmory." Kay said as Crimson clapped for them.
[Music Ends]
"Well, that's a shame that I've lost, but you've proven yourselves worthy of the Rainbow Badge." Erika said presenting them both with the badge, prize money, and the TMs. "Here, my favorite TM. Giga Drain."
Rusty immediately used it on Sasame replacing Double Kick.
"Now, with that over, I'll explain everything at the hotel after you've healed up your Pokémon." Crimson said coming up to both Rusty and Joe while whispering, "Meet at me the Celadon Hotel in an hour."
Crimson was about to leave himself when Erika stopped him citing, she wanted him to stay awhile. Joe and Rusty left with their Pokémon to go get healing as Erika returned hers. With those two guys gone, Erika put the closed sign on the gym door and locked it.
"Finally, you owe me some time spent. We got interrupted." Erika said cheekily. "Luckily, my step-dad isn't going to be a problem this time."
"Oh ho, well how can I refuse an invitation?" Crimson said going with her to that garden setup.
"I have to ask you…have you and Misty done anything? I don't want to intrude if you two are a thing." Erika asked.
"No, we're just friends…though we're not completely platonic." Crimson remarked.
"I had a feeling you two were fooling around, you just earned me ten Pokédollars from by bet and my gratitude." Erika said kindly. "Now how would you like to try the grass maiden?"
"Here?" Crimson said before shoved into a beanbag chair.
"Afraid of an audience?" Erika said undoing her kimono.
"Full of beautiful women? No, but I didn't peg you as the type to be ok doing it out in the open like this." Crimson said as her kimono hit the grass revealing rather traditional underwear. "Well I guess I should have known you'd have 'grass' between your legs. The lawn's at least controlled…and I spy you're a fan of the natural look."
"Kimonos are just perfect for hiding your underarms." Erika said undoing the binds on her chest. "And look at you…all rearing to go."
Daimonji hit the grass along with Crimson's bag and his clothes. Dex Bulma was at least put on a table as Erika got on top of him.
"You know, I've always wanted to go black." Erika said excitedly. "I hear my mom always wanting more of my step-dad."
"You're not going to call me daddy, are you?" Crimson asked worriedly.
"Heavens no, I'm not crushing on Dee Jay. He's a good guy, but not my type. You, on the other hand…mphhh." Erika said easing down on his shaft. "Are pretty close."
"Shall I take the lead or do you want to…or shall we work together?" Crimson said as his hands were on her hips. "I'm down for either way."
Erika opted for them to work together and Crimson humped away revealing in the pleasure as she came on him with her arms on his shoulders. As they worked on each other, the Gym Trainers filtered in.
"Yeesh, Erika. You don't waste time…" Kay said as Erika moaned out. "And…oh wow…"
"Erika-senpai! You didn't have to do it here!" Tina said with a flushed face. "Not on my beanbag."
"Sorry about it, she shoved me on it." Crimson said with labored breath. "Give me ten minutes. I'll have her cumming."
And then Crimson went faster with his hands moving to her modest chest a few fondles and squeezing. Erika knew he was rushing her to cream, not that she minded. Tamia had long hiked up her skirt to touch herself while this display was going on as the other Gym Trainer slowly ended up doing so as well. Coco and Kay were touching each other before scampering off to fool around on their own. Crimson kept pounding away.

(Celadon Rocket Hideout | May 7th | 3:00p.m.)
On the final floor of the hideout, Giovanni sat checking the profit margins for the Game Corner. So far everything was going rather well, but there was a snag. Much to his ire, the person he hired was not going to arrive just yet having hit a snag trying to get to Kanto. However, he was able to get some extra help considering guarding the hideout.
"So, are you sure you can deal with our problem?" Giovanni said. "Miss Gripen…."
A gloved hand slammed on the desk as the woman glared at him.
"That's Lady Esmeralda Gripenasty to you. I may be old, but I can still hear. And I and my friends can take care of this little niglet and his color coded group of bitches you're too much of a pussy to deal with him." Esmeralda said icily.
She would usually have Crabmiser deal with the talking, but he was off with grandson Lamilton off towards Seacrest.
"Show some respect for the boss of respect, you withered kuromchan!" Ariana snarled only to get grabbed by her collar and thrown into the wall of the metal door leaving an evident dent in it.
Esmeralda got up from her chair before slamming her heel down on Ariana's hand getting her scream before she stomped on her until she was out cold.
"Anyone else got any doubts?" Esmeralda said rubbing her bloody heels on Ariana's body.
"You and your team are hired." Giovanni said as a Rocket Grunt came in reporting that one of the Black Dragon's lieutenants were spotted. "But where are your teammates."
"Crabmiser's with his grandson off to Seacrest, we got business to deal with some enemies first." Esmeralda remarked. "And as for Pissofferson, he's playing the slots. We're all going to deal with our business in Seacrest first , no ifs, ands, or buts. Once we deal with that, the Black Dragons will be next."
She left as the Rocket grunt got the elevator for her citing the need for a lift key to which she used to get her to the first floor walking her up to the top floor back to the Game Corner. Said grunt just nodded and left the building. Esmeralda watched her go and had a feeling…that something was up. She wished Stinkmeaner was here with them but was long dead.

[Cues: Kevin MacLeod – Acid Trumpet]
The Rocket grunt took a breath as she entered her crappy and sparse apartment. She hated living in it, and she was glad it was…temporary. Making she closed the shades, she went to the bedroom and got out a phone, speeding dialing a number.
"Yeah, it's me." She said.
"What did you find out?"
"Team Rocket's got hired help. A group called the Hateocracy, they said they got beef with people in Seacrest. One member and his grandson are en route. The other two are here, and they'll set to go the one heading for Seacrest. There's another one that their boss hired, but they're delayed. I didn't discover who, and they're tightlipped on it." She said to her caller.
"Anything else?"
"A police officer is on their bankroll. Arsen Odeno. He's doubling as security for the place and he's keeping Jenny from realizing the place is a Team Rocket den. I think he's onto me." She said quietly looking out the window.
"Ok, you've done enough, Turbine. Make yourself scarce…I'll contact Crimson."
"All right, Roulette. Turbine out." Turbine said hanging up.
She immediately changed out of the Team Rocket uniform to unassuming clothes. She took off the pink wig letting her black hair spill out before taking off her contacts. Tossing the contacts in the toilet flushing it down, she got her duffel bag looking out from the window to see a cop car roll up.
[Cues: Run Londinium - Daniel Pemberton - King Arthur Soundtrack]
"Damn!" Turbine spat rushing out of the apartment. "The shithead's here."
She slipped out of her apartment making sure not to be seen and made a move to get out of here. Considering she had signed under a fake name paying just cash, she knew she was unlikely to be traced. Plus, the landlord was on Team Rocket payroll and the place was a hidey-hole for grunts. She got to the emergency exit door and used her Magneton to disable the alarm and push it open. Returning it after a thank you, she raced down the stairs.
[Music Ends]
On the way down, she paired the pink inside out to reveal another side with red hair before putting on shades. Once on the ground floor, she got out a simple cap to adjust over her eyes. She started walking down the street to appear normal.
"Excuse me!" An officer said as Turbine cursed her luck.
"Yes, officer?" Turbine said putting on a stronger American accent.
"I'm sorry, but I'm helping to look for a pink-haired criminal. Heterochromatic eyes. About your height and build." The officer said. "My superior is searching for a woman."
"I haven't seen anyone like that. I'm new to town, and just a bit lost." Turbine said feigning innocence.
The officer would have said something before hearing Officer Odeno calling on radio for backup. The officer left her, and she got out of there. Once out of sight, she discarded the wig in the trash and sent out her Pidgeot taking off on it towards the skies. She sighed in relief as she left that city behind.
-o-
(Celadon City | May 7th | 4:00p.m.)
The Celadon Hotel. Crimson checked in with no complaints and he and his friends were currently in the conference room having a meeting. Roulette had called with information, and Crimson was for one…not pleased.
"Damn it, this is a disaster. The Hateocracy isn't one to be messed with and it explained the negative energy I've been sensing." Crimson hissed. "Those Rocket cocksuckers are openly using proxies in this war!"
"But we have information that evens the score." Sissi remarked.
"Evening the score would be axing them before they can do any harm, but with the cops on Team Rocket's side, they have one on us." Crimson said worriedly. "I'll need proof Odeno's dirty, hard proof."
"And it won't be safe for us to stay in the city." Rusty said concerned. "We should get out of the city and get to Seacrest."
"Rusty's right." Joe said getting up. "But they know one of us is here, and if we just leave…they'll think something's up."
"Not if we leave through Route 16. Look, follow my lead on this." Crimson said. "We go on our bikes and leave through Route 16. Those Rockets will think we're going towards Cycling Road. I got a friend who has a house near there, we go there and take off from there. We'll have to fly the long way, but it's better they think we're oblivious."
The four left the hotel checking out as the boys got to their bikes with Sissi on the back of Joe's. They revved up and made their leave. For a few seconds, Crimson, his Dragons, Gripenasty, and Pissofferton crossed paths. Crimson sensed their energies and he could feel them sizing his own. Crimson kept up the mask of fearlessness, but he was rather afraid. He was not sure if he could beat all three of them…and he prayed Stinkmeaner was not going to join them.
(A/N: Uh oh, Crimson's in trouble. He and his Dragons are in the fight before the boss battles. Consider the Hateocracy something to whet your appetite. Originally, I planned for a KP villain, but I realized with the Boondocks…I got the Hateocracy just wanting to be used. Let me clarify something up about the Boondocks continuity for this story.)
[Season 1 is canon with no changes. Season 2 is also, but Luna doesn't die at the end of her episode. Season 3 is where most of the changes happen. Obviously, 'It's a Black President, Huey Freeman', 'The Fried Chicken Flu', 'Bitches to Rag' doesn't happen because of my story's timeline (Obama's not until 2008, the chicken episode being a mocking of an event in 2007, Thugificent's fall was in reference to decline of ringtone rap which fell apart in the late 2000s.). Finally, there's 'It's Going Down'. Let's just say events there were very different and it led to a good chunk of Woodcrest moving to Seacrest. (Not all of them, right away.) There's also the changes with LaMilton and the Hateocracy, but let's be honest, it would work. Lastly, there's Season 4 which you ignore except 'Freedom Ride or Die' (that's why Diane is hooked up with Robert, they meet again at the interview), and the final Stinkmeaner episode (I'm bringing him back…soon)]
(Now with that out of the way, let's get to the fun. Suggestions for what Pokémon the Hateocracy and LaMilton could have. Settling to give them each two and LaMilton just one. Hit me up. Lastly, chapter 39 was re-edited for errors. I want to ensure that I don't have to do that again for the batch of chapters I just released, so I'm double checking these.)
