Hey I'm back today with a double feature. That's right I have a new chapter for both Hoenn and Kanto ready. This one will go up then maybe 20 minutes later chapter 10 of Kanto will be released. Hope you enjoy. Please review if you do.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon.
Along the way to the Petalburg Woods Brendan stopped to have a break on the beach. He sent out his whole party to let them play.
"Alright Ralts let me introduce you to the guys. You've already met Poochyena in battle. He's pretty fierce there but outside he's just a big cinnamon roll." Brendan said giving Poochyena a belly rub.
Ralts was nervous seeing as Poochyena beat her ass but after a quick sniff and a playful lick on the cheek from him she was smiling.
"And this is Treecko. He's...well he's an asshole but he's dependable in a pinch." He explained.
Treecko without missing a beat flipped Brendan off then offered his hand to Ralts in a gentlemanly fashion.
"Oh so you're nice to girls?" Brendan said rolling his eyes.
It didn't take long for Ralts to feel at home with the group.
"Oh my! What an absolute image of beauty!" Said some guy with a snobby British accent.
"Who the hell are you?" Brendan asked.
"Well I never! Who taught you such vulgar language? Anyway I was simply admiring your shiny Ralts and was wondering how much to take it off your hands." The rich boy said.
Brendan just stared at him wondering if he heard right.
"I'm sorry what?" He asked wanting to confirm.
"Go on name your price. Money is no object to me." He said pulling out a cheque book.
"Why would I sell my Pokemon to you? You haven't even told me your name yet." Brendan asked getting a little pissed off.
"My apologies. My name is Richard. Now surely a commoner like yourself has no need for such a fine Pokemon like this." He said.
That was the last nail in Brendan anger coffin.
"Ok listen here Dick. You come over here acting all rich and snotty and ask me to sell you my new friend. Then when I refuse you insult me? Ohh I'm gonna beat your ass so hard your mama won't be able to recognize you." Brendan said cracking his knuckles.
Richard just sighed.
"I would rather not resort to violence but if you insist I'll take you on in a Pokemon battle. Go Zigzagoon!" He said with the confidence of an Elite Four member.
"Alright Ralts let's see what you can do." Brendan said letting the new member try a battle.
Scanning Ralts with the pokenav revealed however that she only knew growl.
"Y...you only know growl? I can't work with that…" Brendan said with a sweat drop rolling down his face.
Richard began to laugh. Ralts' mouth began to quiver and then she started crying.
"It's ok Ralts you just need a chance to get stronger. I'll swap you out for Poochyena and you should be able to learn from his fight." Brendan explained.
Ralts nodded and came back. Poochyena went out and went from cute puppy to angry attack dog. Unfortunately the swap gave Zigzagoon a free turn to attack and it went first the next turn.
"Hahaha. You mutt isn't going to stand a chance against my precious Zigzagoon." He taunted.
"Ice fang." Was all Brendan said.
You could visibly see Poochyena's breath as he ran up and bit Zigzagoon almost taking him out in one hit and freezing him. Richard's jaw dropped.
"You were saying?" Brendan said with a cocky grin.
Richard took out a full restore and used it.
"Wow calm down there. It's only a Zigzagoon." Brendan said at the waste of the healing item.
"Are you suggesting that I use cheap medicine like a hyper potion or *gag* dare I say it a potion on my precious Pokemon? Never!" Richard shot back in disgust.
"Alright then. Let's wrap this up. Use howl Poochyena." Brendan ordered.
Poochyena howled towards the heavens. Zigzagoon got in one last attack before Poochyena took him down with a more powerful ice fang. Richard picked up his Pokemon.
"Now take your rodent and you stupid money and get your pompous ass out of here before I kick it out of your God damned throat." Threatened Brendan.
Richard ran away crying.
"There. A few more battles like that and you should be able to hold your own." Brendan said to Ralts.
Brendan continued to Petalburg Woods.
"Man it's kinda dark here...and lonely…" Brendan said missing human interaction.
He was walking around for a while until he heard a cry.
"Hey!? What are you doing?! Give that back!" The voice cried.
Brendan rushed over to find some business looking guy and what looked like a pirate.
"Make me. Oh wait you can't because you're too weak." The pirate said in laughter.
"He might be but I'm not. What's going on here?" Brendan asked butting in.
"Oh thank goodness. This man has stolen something of mine and won't give it back." The man explained.
Brendan looked at the man and then to the pirate.
"Give it back or else." Brendan said threateningly.
The pirate just burst into even more laughter.
"Do you even know who you're messing with kid? I'm a member of Team Aqua! The most feared…" he started but was cut off.
"Pirates on the sea right? Don't all pirate crews say that? Come to think of it what's a pirate doing in the woods anyway?" Brendan finished.
"P...pirates?! Team Aqua is a crime syndicate not pirates!" The grunt said in frustration.
"Have you looked at yourself? I bet your hideout is in a cave by the ocean too isn't it?" Brendan said pointing out the details.
"But...we're not...no…" the grunt mumbled in slow realization.
"Pirates." Brendan whispered pushing the grunt over the edge.
"That's it kid! I'm gonna mess you up!" The grunt yelled sending out a Poochyena.
Brendan sent out Ralts and then swapped out for Treecko who ended it in one turn. The grunt was at a loss of words and was then at a loss of consciousness after something hit him from behind. It was May who had driven her elbow into the back of his skull.
"Why is it that everywhere you go you make so much noise?" May said glaring at Brendan.
"What can I say? Silence is boring." Brendan said with a shrug.
May just rolled her eyes at him. She found the stolen item and gave it back to the man.
"Oh thank you young lady." He thanked.
"What about me? I'm the one who beat him." Brendan said.
"Yes of course. Thank you as well. Would the two of you mind escorting me back to Devon Corps?" The man asked.
"We would be happy to." May answered for the both of them.
Just like that Brendan was stuck with an escort job.
"So how's Wally?" May asked.
"He's got potential but he needs help breaking out of his shell. I think his condition got so bad because he had no hope but hopefully Pokemon and his new goal can help him with that." Brendan explained.
"That's good to hear. What's his goal?" May asked.
Brendan froze up. Wally wants to ask May out one day but he can't tell her that.
"Umm...sworn to secrecy." He responded.
May gave him a pouty face but let it go. As they left two other figures in red pullover hoodies watched from the shadows.
"Hah! You see that? Team Aqua ain't nothing. You report back saying that the Devon parts now belong to Team Magma." The grunt said.
"Isn't it a bit too early to report mission success if we haven't done it yet?" The new girl with red eyes said.
"Look here newbie. When a senior tells ya to do something you do it. I'll get those parts so just go." The grunt ordered as he walked away.
The girl waited for the grunt to be long gone before talking into an audio log.
"Infiltrating Team Magma is successful. With how often they butt heads with Team Aqua it won't be hard to keep tabs on the two. Still moving to Team Magma's spy unit would be in my favor. I have also come across two young trainers who seem to have potential. If I'm right they will take on Aqua and Magma throughout their journey making surveillance easier." She said before heading on her way.
Alright finally got the teams introduced. As I said above Kanto will be updated too within the hour and I'll be putting an update about my future plans with other fanfics so please go check that out.
