Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, I only own Violet Hawke as my OC.
Summary: Violet Hawke wanted nothing more than to be a Bug Pokemon Trainer, but with how people viewed those types all she got was ridicule until the day she bumped into the local Professor. Now on a journey, she tries to make her goal a reality, but with an Organization coming out of the shadows she has to decide just how much she's willing to risk to realize her goal.
Chapter 15: The Rematch on the SS. Anne
Green huffed as he looked over the Pokemon he had with him, contemplating on which one to use to fight Violet in this rematch that he instigated, his Pokedex on the nearby table in his room while his Pokemon were all asleep in their Pokeballs with the exception of Eevee who was curled up in his lap with him idly stroking his fur.
Right now he had a full team while Violet had half of one which would make this battle a three-on-three just like last time.
Last time he used Pidgeotto, Rattata who then evolved into Raticate and his newly caught Abra who was now a Kadabra. The only one who lost was Pidgeotto but that was because none of them were expecting for her to teach that Paras Bide.
Given the rate that bug types grow, Green had no doubt that her Paras was most likely a Parasect at this point and it probably has more moves compared to last time.
Then there were the strategies that she used before he turned it around on her, most likely she would have some new ones that he wouldn't expect.
Should he switch his team up a bit? Use the same team as last time?
Considering she defeated Surge on her first attempt, Green knew that he had to think about this carefully and while his newer Pokemon were catching up at a good rate it wasn't fast enough in his opinion.
He already gave just about all of the extra Pokemon he caught to his Grandfather to help him with his research with the exception of one that he recently bought on the SS. Anne.
A Magikarp that he planned to train up into a Gyarados to give his team a bit more versatility and to have a back-up water type so he wouldn't have to rely on his Shellder.
Given how that would take awhile, he was going to focus on the six he has right now and then add in the Magikarp after a bit.
After a bit, Green came to a decision on what team he'll use for this rematch.
Meanwhile Violet was doing the exact same thing in her room, biting her lower lip in worry, the results of the last match vividly going through her mind as she was worried that they would remain the same.
Even if she told herself that her team was much stronger than last time she couldn't help but be concerned.
Sure she lost some other battles that weren't to Green, such as the more experienced bug catchers when she was in the Forest with only a Kakuna and a Caterpie and she did lose against Samurai on their rematch.
But those loses pale in comparison to the one with Green with how much he berated her team.
She wanted to prove that her team was strong.
Green was the obstacle she needed to overcome to prove that.
"He already knows my team and I know half of his." Violet began muttering, cupping her chin as she thought back to their last battle. "His Abra most likely evolved and is even more dangerous given it can learn a ton of TMs much like his Raticate. I haven't seen his Eevee battle but from what I can conclude it's most likely his starter so it has to be powerful."
And she has no clue what moves it knows.
His Pidgeotto is the biggest threat given how it was a natural predator to Bug Pokemon and Green could have a fire or rock type for all she knew.
"His level could be far ahead of mine as well given how dedicated he is to training his team, he's strong for a reason but he's also catching a lot of Pokemon from what I've gathered so he can't train them all which slows his progress if he switches between them. He also said he had a Sandshrew earlier so I should take that one into account."
Could it have the move Dig like Parasite does?
A part of her thought about calling Prof. Oak to learn about his team, but she shook her head.
Even if she could convince the Professor to tell her and she doubted that given how he most likely wouldn't and she was certain that he would refuse to tell Green if the trainer asked about hers, she wanted to win on her own terms without an unfair advantage.
Speaking of advantages, Violet turned her head towards the desk where two TM's lay.
After she was done speaking to Will, the man ended up giving her one TM which she did try to refuse but the psychic trainer insisted given how she helped with his show.
That TM was for the move Rest, a psychic move that puts the user to sleep and restore energy, useful but Violet wasn't sure which Pokemon to teach it to.
The other TM she got was Body Slam and she bought it from another trainer who was trying to make some quick cash.
To be fair the second one was a lot more useful given how powerful Body Slam was but the only Pokemon who could learn it was Parasite and while that's not necessarily a bad thing, Violet realized that whenever she got a TM she used it exclusively on Parasite when she should be trying to keep it fair between her team.
Sure it was because Parasite had less moves to learn naturally then the others but she was worried that it would feel like she was playing favorites, even if she doesn't have a good selection to teach them given how none of her team could learn the other ones.
"I suppose I could teach Rest to Stinger to give him a way to restore health but it'll leave him open to attacks," Violet theorized in concern. "Silk already has a bunch of moves that she learned leaving her to be versatile and Body Slam for Parasite will give her a better normal move than Scratch."
After a few seconds, Violet decided to do that.
Even if she doesn't use Rest in battle, she could have Stinger do that outside of battle to help him recover a lot faster.
Early the next morning Violet was readjusting her hat while her team was out and about in the room doing their own thing.
She could already hear Parasite in the Hot Tub given how her Dry Skin ability made water very enjoyable to her.
Stinger and Silk already ate and seemed to be conversing with each other, though from how they sounded she was able to decipher that they were being competitive again.
Though there were hints of them being playful in that one as opposed to how they were a bit more hostile in the beginning showing that they were just playing around.
'Wish I could understand them fully.' Violet mused with a smile before she grabbed her satchel and then her team's respective Pokeballs to place on her belt after she returned them.
Just a few more hours until the rematch and this time she planned to win.
"Bzzt?" Violet was broken out of her thoughts as Stinger broke off from the conversation with Silk, turning his attention to her much to the trainer's confusion.
Then she realized that her fists were clenched so hard that they were turning white and her nails were digging into her palms.
Thankfully not enough to make them bleed as she quickly relaxed and put a smile on her face.
"I'm fine Stinger." Violet promised the Beedrill despite the uncertain expression the bug was showing.
A few minutes later, she was leaving her room with her team returned to their Pokeballs as she moved to find something to keep her occupied until the battle.
Maybe they were showing something good at the theater?
"I see." Prof. Oak mused back in his lab in Pallet Town as he was studying the findings that the League had on the Kangaskhan that went on a rampage in Viridian Forest.
To his surprise the toxicity in the blood levels matched the one taken from the Snorlax that went on the rampage out near Route 11 before Bruno managed to take it down which had him worried.
Especially given how much more advanced the one in the Snorlax was with it surviving, but completely feral until it had to be put down considering it took out two of Bruno's Pokemon putting them in critical condition.
Team Rocket were getting more dangerous with each passing day and if they ever get this serum they're working on finished they could be unstoppable.
But why would they test it on a Snorlax? What purpose did they have in destroying the bridge leading to Lavender Town?
Leaning back, Oak began to write down his findings only to feel a chill down his back that he hasn't felt in years and smirked.
"You know you can always call when you visit Agatha." He said, turning to see an elderly woman leaning on a cane, with blonde hair that was on the verge of being grey wearing a sleeveless purple dress with a white shirt beneath it, black leggings and boots, slowly walking out of the shadows. "Don't you ever get tired of the theatrics?"
"Like you're one to talk you old duff." Agatha, the Ghost Master of the Elite Four scoffed at the Professor. "Lance wants to know what you found."
"Nothing good, I can tell you that much." Prof. Oak got straight to the point, knowing how his old rival was. "The rate they're advancing is a cause for concern, especially when we don't know who's giving the orders."
"Tch, Lance was a fool to let them form in the first place." Agatha's tone told volumes of her thoughts of the champion despite the respect she did have for the Dragon Master.
"Times were desperate back then." Oak reminded her, but Agatha waved that off, knowing that he did agree with her opinion on that matter despite what he said.
"Doesn't excuse him for not stomping them out after the war, if he did then we wouldn't be here discussing this."
"That's why he's been working overtime to try and take them down."
The two of them were silent as Prof. Oak began to gather the papers he made copies of while Agatha glanced at the pictures that Oak had on the wall, particularly one showing a younger him alongside a younger Agatha after their last official battle many years ago.
"So your Grandson is on his journey now?" Agatha asked in a curious manner as Oak gave a nod. "Tch, let's hope he isn't as spineless as you are."
"If you're only here to berate me, you can leave." Oak held out the papers in an annoyed tone. "I made my choice a long time ago, I'm a researcher, not a trainer."
"To think you were my rival." Agatha snatched the papers away as her shadow began to twitch, red eyes showing in it. "Gengar get ready."
As she was about to use her Ghost Pokemon to leave, Agatha however stopped.
"Samuel, do you ever regret it?" Agatha looked over her shoulder as Oak's shoulders sagged, knowing what she was talking about.
"Every single day." He admitted, his eyes looking towards a picture where it actually showed him and Agatha looking happy, the woman holding a baby. "But we can't change what happened."
"No, I suppose not." Agatha turned and disappeared into the dark as Oak placed a hand in his hair to signify some frustration.
He rarely got like this these days, the only times he did was whenever she was involved.
"And what's this about my Grandson? He's your Grandson too." Oak muttered, wishing that they could mend what happened.
But that bridge burned a long time ago.
Soon enough it was night time as Violet was moving to meet Green for their rematch, a look of determination on her face.
She went through so many strategies during the day, thought of different ways to counter the Pokemon she knew she had, even if she had nothing for the ones he hasn't shown yet.
'I can do this.' Violet thought to herself, clenching a fist before seeing her opponent.
Green was waiting by the door leading to the battlefield, leaning on the wall with his arms crossed and eyes closed, his Eevee sitting right by his foot.
As she got closer, Eevee made a small noise, resulting in Green opening one eye to see her.
Pushing himself off the wall, Green spoke. "You ready?"
"This time I'm going to win." Violet promised and Green actually gave a smirk at that.
"Prove it."
Nothing else was said as they entered, Violet almost freezing up a bit when she saw the rather large crowd who were watching some of the other matches that were happening on the other battlefields, a cold realization washing over her.
They would be battling in front of a crowd.
How did she not think about that earlier?! Of course they would, they were on a ship with a ton of trainers.
She's never battled in front of so many people before.
"Hey are you coming or what?" Green turned and glanced at her with some annoyance for the hold up.
'Come on, just bear with it.' Violet told herself as she forced herself to walk.
She was going to fight in front of a crowd eventually when the League Tournament started, so best to get used to it now.
She just had to focus on the battle, nothing else.
"Same rules as last time?" Violet asked, hating how it almost came out as a squeak.
"Three on Three, best of two wins." Green said, placing a hand on one of the Pokeballs on his belt.
Violet gave a nod and grabbed Silk's Pokeball, deciding to start off with her while Green frowned a bit before deciding who to send out.
A second later, both Raticate and Silk were out on the field, the former narrowing his eyes at seeing Violet, obviously remembering her while Silk took to the air, knowing who they were battling and remembering how this Pokemon cracked Stinger's carapace with his fangs.
"Bubblebeam!" Green started the battle with Raticate immediately firing the barrage of bubbles at the Bug showing an increase in speed while Silk quickly flew around them, having practiced dodging projectiles from Stinger as practice.
'Need to slow it down, but I don't want to reveal Esper Spore yet and I know that setting up String Shot won't work.' Violet theorized remembering last time.
"Stun Spore, but twirl in the air to send it everywhere!"
Silk gave a cry as she flew up, far above Raticate's reach as she twirled and the Stun Spore did indeed begin to go everywhere showing how the range of her attack increased through training.
"Dodge with Dig." Raticate immediately dove into the ground, dodging the spores much to Violet's frustration.
Man this Raticate was versatile.
Too bad she had a way to counter that.
"Use Confusion to find it and rip it out of the ground."
Green didn't seem to expect that as Silk did so easily, the Raticate being surprised as he was pulled straight out, making another hole in the process, screeching and hissing as he tried to break free before the damage of the psychic attack began to take effect.
But Green smirked.
"Thunderbolt."
Eyes widening, Violet didn't have any time to tell Silk to drop the Raticate as electricity erupted from him and slammed into Silk knocking her out of the sky as she hit the ground with a harsh thud.
Thankfully she was still awake as she got up, sparks emanating from her to show paralysis.
Raticate however landed wrong on the ground and hissed in pain, favoring his left foot.
'Of course he had Thunderbolt, he obviously defeated Surge.' Violet reprimanded herself for that.
'And here I was originally going to teach that to Kadabra.' Green silently thought taking into the actions already happening. 'She has gotten stronger, I'll admit that much.'
But he was going to win.
"Hyper Fang!"
Raticate surged forward as Silk struggled with the Paralysis before breaking through it.
"Fweh!" Flapping her wings in an attempt to fly up as Raticate got closer, no one was prepared for the gust of wind to blast out, slamming into Raticate sending him skidding across the floor.
Violet recognized the move immediately due to the number of times it was used against her team by anyone with a Pokemon from the Pidgey line.
Gust.
Seeing the damage it did to Raticate, Violet knew it was because of the STAB bonus considering Silk was part flying and grinned, happy that Silk gained a move that could take advantage of that.
But Green ordered another Thunderbolt and this time Silk stayed down upon being hit.
As Violet returned Silk, thanking her for the hard work, Green took into account the amount of damage that Butterfree did compared to last time when he fought it with an Abra.
But he shook it off and returned Raticate, sending his Kadabra out with Violet tensing at seeing the evolved Psychic, no doubt recalling how tough it was before she decided to send Parasite out.
No sense in sending Stinger out due to the type disadvantage and she knew that Parasite's bulk would be handy for this battle.
Their battle has actually drawn up a bit of a crowd however with some of the battles in the other fields finishing up.
Green crossed his arms while Kadabra held his spoon with finesse, a bit of an arrogant manner overcoming the psychic while Parasite just stood there as Violet clenched a fist.
"Psybeam." A blast of psychic energy erupted from Kadabra that Parasite dodged with Dig, with the energy exploding on the ground where she stood a second ago, knocking dust into the air. "Find it."
Kadabra went to do so only to pause.
He couldn't sense the Mushroom Pokemon's mind.
It would seem that the parasitic mushroom prevented psychics from finding it.
Suddenly the ground shifted behind Kadabra as Parasite launched out of it, landing on Kadabra with a Body Slam, surprising the Psychic who didn't sense it coming.
Green looked irked by that while Violet grinned and ordered a Leech Life while he was pinned.
"Disable!"
The moment the bug move made contact, Parasite froze as the attack locked it up before she was hit by a Mega Punch.
While it didn't do too much damage, Parasite was knocked off the Kadabra who lifted himself into the air with his own confusion and fired another Psybeam at Parasite, knocking her back again.
"Whack-A-Mole!" Violet ordered as Parasite dove into the field once more, Green momentarily raising a brow from the oddly named move but refocusing on the battle itself.
"Teleport, keep it guessing."
From there, the battle turned into an impromptu game of cat and mouse as neither Pokemon could guess where the other was as Parasite always came up at odd times while Kadabra was constantly teleporting in and out of danger.
Neither Pokemon could land a hit like this.
That was when Green noticed Violet smirking and frowned in response, wondering why she was smirking before Kadabra stiffened up as sparks emanated from him making his eyes widen.
How did he get paralyzed-?
It clicked when Green realized out of all the holes in the field this 'Whack-A-Mole' strategy that Violet used had spores emanating from them and he saw that Parasite wasn't just doing hit and run tactics, she was creating a connected series of tunnels all over the field to where she would be able to safely use Stun Spore in with the spores going through all of them.
"You know Disable should've worn off by now." Violet had a grin as she said that in a sing-song tone, being surprisingly playful when she said that.
And she was proven right as Parasite erupted from one of the nearby holes and connected to Kadabra who tried to fight off the paralysis.
But he was unable to do so and Parasite knocked him out by keeping a hold of him, restoring health in the process.
So the score was one-one like last time.
And it was with the same Pokemon she used last time to given how Parasite caught him off guard with Bide in their last battle, but this time she didn't rely on it at all.
Green actually found himself smirking despite the annoyance he felt.
He didn't like being so close to losing, but he was also enjoying having someone push him.
The last few battles that weren't Gym Battles have been painfully too easy, so this was a nice change of pace.
Returning Kadabra, Green glanced down as his Eevee ran out and Violet returned Parasite with a grin and sent out Stinger, saving her Starter for last once more.
'Last battle, we can do this.' Violet told herself. 'We can win this.'
Stinger buzzed and slammed his forearms together in an attempt to intimidate the Eevee who just looked at him in a calm manner, idly liking a paw to run over his ear.
"Twineedle!" Violet started things up with Stinger giving a cry as his stingers glowed but Green ordered a Quick Attack to slam into him, before running off, dodging the attack as the bug recovered.
While running, the Eevee did a growl, lowering Stinger's attack a bit, before jumping over a Twineedle, doing a tail whip in the process with Violet now understanding the strategy with this particular Pokemon.
An Eevee's true strength came from when they evolved, as Green hasn't evolved it yet, he's been working on other ways for it to win by having stat changes.
It was one of the studies showing that Pokemon were able to weaken others through non attacking moves such as Tail Whip, Leer, Growl, moves that held some sort of energy that many researchers have looked into.
One scientist theorized it had something to do with the same energy Pokemon emitted when they evolved, but there were still studies to it to this very day.
So she countered it by ordering a Harden, with Stinger doing so, grunting as he was hit by another Quick Attack and that was before a Sand Attack slammed into him, lowering his accuracy making it harder for the bug to see.
Another Growl lowered his attack again as Stinger had enough and began to fire Poison String all around in hopes of poisoning the Pokemon and lowering his speed.
"Stinger calm down, just because you can't see doesn't mean you can't hear!" Violet told him as Stinger tensed up before giving a nod.
That was ruined when Eevee slammed into him with a Tackle, making him slide back a bit, his leg stepping in his own webbing as it got stuck.
From there, Eevee began to do hit and run Tackles, chipping away at his health.
But the Eevee made a crucial mistake in doing so, falling into a pattern that Stinger was able to learn and before long he fired a String Shot, managing to take the Eevee by surprise, knocking him to the floor as he struggled before the Beedrill manage to rip his leg out of the webbing and flew towards the sounds that Eevee was making, firing a Twineedle.
That attack connected, knocking Eevee back as he began to glow purple, showing that he was poisoned and that was before Stinger performed Fury Attack, hitting at least three times.
However the attack managed to break the webbing holding the Eevee down as he managed to get away, the two of them panting heavily.
Seeing that, Violet grinned. "Rest!"
Green obviously wasn't expecting that as he cursed. "Eevee quick take it out before it wakes up!" He ordered as the poison was surging through Eevee faster the more she moved as she did a Quick Attack on the sleeping Beedrill before biting him.
The results did bring the damage that was healing back and had the effect of waking him up, but it also wasted time for the poison to surge faster and Eevee was nearly out before they both fired off one last attack.
Twineedle versus Quick Attack as they both flew past each other after making contact, both Pokemon landing on the ground with bated breath before they both fell over.
"A tie?" Green asked not expecting that outcome while Violet looked disappointed that they didn't win.
But she did grin given how she didn't lose either and this was proof right here that they definitely got stronger since the last time they battled.
Green returned Eevee to him Pokeball to let him rest and frowned at seeing how fast she seemed to be catching up.
He needs to rework his training to avoid losing in future battles.
But he glanced up to see Violet hugging the Beedrill with a grin and turned to walk away.
He did stop however and said something. "I expect to see you at the League."
That really surprised Violet who glanced up at him but he was already leaving before she could ask what he meant by that before smiling.
"I'll be there." Violet promised, finally returning Stinger.
Deep beneath the waters, a submarine was moving through, slowly catching up with the SS. Anne as water Pokemon such as Seaking, Tentacruel and even the ferocious Gyarados avoided it due to how the vehicle emitted an electrical pulse to anything that got too close.
Inside of it, Lt. Surge was watching through the periscope as he could see the ship in the distance, this time however he was wearing the Rocket Uniform, only with a black unzipped jacket on while a belt was strapped around his shoulder with countless Pokeballs.
"Sir, we're getting close to the Seafoam Islands." One of the grunts told him. "Should we prepare for landing?"
"Change of plans, we're boarding the SS. Anne." Surge said, surprising the Grunt.
"Sir? But our orders-."
"Belay them, we'll get there for our mission after we take care of a nuisance." Surge said, this time in a tone that told the Grunt that talking back would have consequences, something that made the grunt swallow the lump forming in his throat nervously.
As the grunt went to let the others know, Surge knew that he couldn't afford to let anyone on that ship know who he was given how many of their plans relied on the Gym Leaders having the element of surprise so he went to grab something to hide his identity.
'Hope you enjoyed your time on the ship Runt.' Surge thought, his mind flashing back to that last battle with Violet at the Gym. 'Because you're about to experience the consequences of interfering with Team Rocket.'

Phew, this took a bit to type, mostly because I wanted to update Into the Omniverse and Jaune and the Lands of Termina, but this chapter is out and I really hope it was enjoyable, as short as it was.
Especially the rematch between Green and Violet despite it being a tie it showed how much farther that Violet has gotten considering the last time they fought Violet barely did anything to Green and even when she did it was out of pure luck.
This time however she held her own and more which in turn made Green finally acknowledge her as his rival with the Pokedex and I finally got to show how his Eevee fights before it does evolve, even if it's not for awhile.
We also had a scene showing Prof. Oak and his 'relationship' with Agitha along with the revelation that she is Green's grandmother due to how in the games it was stated that she once thought Oak was 'handsome' in their youth showing some attraction. Furthermore remember the Snorlax that went on the rampage I mentioned in an earlier chapter? Yes Team Rocket was behind it showing that they're affecting the world even if Violet isn't involved with them, something that I figured would be interesting to show.
But now we're getting out of the filler parts of the story and we have the main storyline continuing with Team Rocket going to attack the Cruise Line, all to eliminate Violet for all of the times she got in their way, even if they were accidental.
And let it be noted that this is the result of Surge going AWOL to take her down considering the Executives were ordered to leave her alone, Giovanni thinking she's a nuisance at best.
So you can bet that the next chapter will have some good stuff showing.
So let's get the reviews checked so I can post this suckah!
Starlord Master: Yes Stinger is and thank you, happy July to you since I missed saying Happy June. As for the main villain? Well it changes from time to time, but for the Kanto Arc, I would say Team Rocket, just to keep it from being one person.
Pokemonking0924: I know right, I figured with how high up in the Pokemon world Bill is, having created the storage/transfer system he would be given good accommodations. Cruise Ships always have a ton to do, I've done a lot of research before adding all of that, which made the whole thing take longer than it should've. Green is also changing over the course of his journey much like how Violet is, and the loss along with the new battle with Violet it made him accept her as a worthy rival despite how he acted in the beginning. But they're still a long way from being friends. Nice to see that the revelation of Will knowing Violet's Mom was taken so well, I do plan on expanding on it, but I want to take my time in doing so.
Legion29: Haha strange right?
BradiLain: Thank you, I love typing more and more about Violet's adventures, especially with how I've been changing things up in the Pokemon world. She needed a laidback chapter after what she's been through so far, but vacation is going to be over soon enough. I also wanted to keep the relaxing chapter interesting which was why I had Will be revealed into having a connection to Violet's mother and the name drop for her, which I have been waiting ages to do. Hopefully the rematch with Green was enjoyable. And thank you, I love typing the Pokemon the most, I can understand how people just focus more on the humans than the Pokemon in some of their stories because then it gets hard to keep up with the personalities at times, but that's always the best part for me, especially when they each have their own flaws and reasons for being on the team.
Guest4: Thanks and don't worry I updated that story two days ago, it just took me awhile. I'm going on a whim here that you're also Guest5 considering the same type of review is there.
Anonymous: Yup, a filler one but one that's important all the same considering it brought in some background stuff that's easy to miss, revealed the name of Violet's Mom and to be honest Violet needed a small break from the dangerous situations she got in.
Guest6: I've read up on that particular one and frankly that's a bit of a grey area, something that fanfiction is. I didn't give permission but I don't own the series so I don't have to, there are also some changes that I've seen. Just as long as he/she doesn't do all the chapters word for word I'm okay with it, frankly I'm curious what they would do to change it up a bit. Thank you however for bringing it to my attention.
