Episode 155: Kairi vs Hau
Several hours had passed since the group left Scarlet City and the Whirl Cup still fresh in their memories, the group started to make their way to Olivine City for Sora's battle with Jasmine. Lana was glad that she got to be part of the Whirl Cup as was Sora.
"So to get to Olivine City, we have to go through Silver Rock Isle, right?" Sora asked.
"Most definitely," Illima said, checking the guidebook. "We should be heading there in a couple of days, just as long we don't have any run-ins with anything else."
"That's all I needed to know," Sora said, putting his hands behind his head.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"But, won't we need a boat to get there?" Mallow asked. Everyone all looked at the Normal Type trainer.
"I guess we should ask for a boat as soon as we get there," Illima said.
"I just hope so," Sophocles said. He took off his one of his shoes and poured out some dirt. "I'm getting more dirt and rocks in my shoes so much, it's not even funny."
"At least it's better than having blisters on your feet the size of a mountain," Kiawe said, rubbing his feet. "Man, I should have wore regular shoes."
"How about we have ourselves a break. Maybe it would rest our feet," Sora said.
"I could a break. And it might be good for Togepi," Kairi said.
"Pi," Togepi chirped.
"You're right, Kairi," Sora agreed. He turned to the Pichu. "Pikachu's adopted little brothers could use a rest too." He turns to Pikachu. "Is that right, Pikachu?"
"Pika," Pikachu nodded.
"Pichu," the Spiky-eared Pichu said tifed.
"Pichu," the Shiny Pichu said also tired.
Everyone got to a much deserved break having to be out walking since leaving the Pokémon Center. Not too far away, Hau and his Pokémon Decidueye and the Alolan Raichu came down the path exploring Red Rock Isle.
"Man, this place is amazing. I never imagined I would see anything like this!" Hau said. "I wonder if Riku and Naminé have been here yet." He turns to his two Pokémon. "Or maybe Gladion, Sora, Kairi, and everyone else too." They both smiled, having a feeling that they were going to see them pretty soon.
Fortunately, Hau didn't have to wait any longer since he spotted Sora, Kairi, and his former classmates. He laughed hardily.
"Rai, Rai!" Hau's Raichu said.
"How right you are, Raichu! I was hoping to see then real soon!" Hau cheered. Hau and his Pokémon ran towards they group with so much excitement. "Hey! Sora! Kairi! Lillie! Illima! Mallow! Lana! Sophocles! Acerola! Mina! Hapu!" The group turned to see a very familiar and a friendly face.
"Hau?!" Sora exclaimed happily.
"We haven't seen him since the party back at Pallet Town!" Kairi pointed out.
"Hey you guys! Long time no see!" Hau said.
"Same to you, Hau," Kiawe said.
"We can see you're as chipper as ever," Hapu said.
"You know Hau just as well as the rest of us. He's always happy," Mallow said.
"Yeah," Mina said.
"What are you doing on Red Rock Isle?" Lillie asked.
"Just looking around. What about you?" Hau asked. "What have you been up to?" Sora smiled.
"It's a pretty long story, Hau," Sora said. "Just hope you don't get too bored." That made Hau laugh.
"That's a good one, Sora," Hau told him. He looked over to Kairi and her Togepi. "You look great, Kairi. And your Togepi's doing good since I last saw you."
"Thanks Hau," Kairi said. Hau smiled.
"You know, you're even cuter than I remember," Hau complimented. That made Kairi blush. Sora got a little jealous when he said that to her. But, he wouldn't let his jealousy get the best of him. "Again, how are things with you?"
"Good between me and Kairi if you're wondering," Sora said. He cleared his throat. "If you hadn't heard, we've traveling throughout Johto and we caught some Pokémon since then."
"Yeah?" Hau asked.
"Yup. Kairi too," Sora said. That caught Hau off guard.
"Really? Kairi caught some Pokémon too?" Hau asked.
"It is. Sora gave me some Pokéballs and I have got into some battles. I even got into tag-battles along with Sora," Kairi said.
"She even won the Poké Maiden Tournament a while back," Sora pointed out. Hau laughed at that.
"Wow! That explains that one little fan club I've been seeing lately," Hau said laughing. "That DOES explain a lot." He remembered seeing Kairi's face on some portraits in some cities and towns with so many of the boys worshipping her. "I never would have guessed! What other Pokémon do you have with you?" Kairi handed Togepi to Sora and she took out Her Pokéballs and Lure Ball.
"I'll show you," Kairi said. She let out her Pokémon; Abra, Jigglypuff, Raichu, Seel, and Staryu. Hau was pretty impressed by what he was looking at.
"A Jigglypuff, an Abra, a Seel, A Staryu, and a Kantonian Raichu. Lucky!" Hau said.
"Jigglypuff was the first one that I caught," Kairi said. Hau looked at her Raichu and then his Raichu floated down and waved at Kairi's Raichu. The two Raichu started to get along with each other; becoming fast friends.
"Look at that. They already like each other," Hau said. Kairi giggled.
"I think you're right, Hau," Kairi agreed. The two Raichu definitely hit it off pretty quick. The two Pichu walked up to the Alolan Raichu getting curious. The Alolan Raichu smiled at the two Pichu.
"Hey there, little guys. Don't you look cute?" - Alolan Raichu subtitle.
"How come you can float on your tail?" - Spiky-eared Pichu subtitle.
"And why do you look like that?" - Shiny Pichu subtitle.
"Are you using magic or something?" - Spiky-eared Pichu subtitle.
They started to bombard the Alolan Raichu with questions in Pokémon language when Pikachu went up to his adoptive little brothers.
"That's enough, you two! It's rude to ask that many questions." - Pikachu subtitle.
"No, it's okay. They were only curious." - Alolan Raichu subtitle.
"Yeah, but Pikachu is right. They shouldn't be asking so much." - Kantonian Raichu subtitle.
"Again, it's okay. They just never seen a Raichu like me before. Come to think of it, I was just like them before I met Hau." - Alolan Raichu subtitle.
Hau's Raichu remembered about living out in the grasslands on Mele Mele Island. He had been full of curiosity. Like when he stumbled on a nest occupied by Pikipek. Everyday was pretty much the same right up to when he met Hau and his Rowlet. Pichu was weakened in battle and captured. Time went on when Pichu evolved into a Pikachu and then eventually an Alolan Raichu due to his current environment. They went through a lot since then.
Elsewhere, Moe, Larry, and Curly made contact with the international police HQ to make their report.
"What news do you have for us?" A woman's voice asked.
"For starters we have foiled a Team Rocket plot to steal the Sea Spirit and ruining the Whirl Cup; but the Team Rocket members have escaped before we could nab 'em," Moe explained.
"How unfortunate that they got away. But it's not surprising that they would elude capture. Putting Team Rocket aside, what Ultra Beats activity did you come across?" She asked.
"Nothing. We were hearing some talk about a mysterious Pokémon sighting, but so far nothing," Moe said.
"Nothing, but seaweed and rocks," Larry added.
"Covered in green moss," Curyl added.
Moe smacks them both on the head.
"Quiet!" Moe hissed.
"Well, since you couldn't find anything else back there, then return to base at once and await your next assignment," the woman said.
"On our way," Moe said. He broke contact and set off to return to the international police headquarters.
Back over to the group, Hau and joined up with the group to head back to the mainland by going through Silver Rock Isle. Unknown, to anyone, a Bounsweet is seen following the group. Everyone stopped when Sora stopped. He took a whiff.
"Anybody smell that?" Sora asked. Everyone smelled the air and it smilled pretty sweet.
"I do smell it," Lillie said.
"It smells so very familiar," Mallow said.
"And it smells mighty close to us," Hau said.
Everyone looked around and they spotted a Bounsweet hopping right behind them.
"Guys! It's a Bounsweet!" Mallow said.
"Bounsweet! Bounsweet!" The Bounsweet chirped. Kairi's eyes lit up when she saw the little Pokémon. She knew she wanted it.
"So cute! So cute! Every since I saw those little cuties back at the greenhouse, I wanted one of those! Now I can get me one!" Kairi said. She placed Togepi down so she could have him weaken the wild Pokémon. "You ready Togepi?"
"Toge, Toge!" Togepi chirped.
"Great! Togepi! Swift!" Kairi ordered. Togepi fired Swift and the seeking stars struck the fruit Pokémon. Bounsweet struck back with Razor Leaf. Kairi had an ace up her sleeve. "Swift again!" Togepi fired Swift and it cancelled out Bounsweet's attack. The stars cuts through Bounsweet's Razor Leaf and struck the fruit Pokémon. Kairi took out a Pokéball and threw it at the weakened Pokémon. Bounsweet flows inside and the ball wobbles around and around. Stars swirls around the Pokéball confirming the catch. "Hurray! I've got a Bounsweet!" Kairi cheered.
"Toge, Toge!" Togepi also cheered. Sora hands Kairi his Pokédex when it starts buzzing. Kairi was asked if she wants to keep Bounsweet or send her to Professor Oak's lab. Kairi decided to keep Bounsweet in exchange for Staryu. She hands it back to Sora and walked up to the Pokéball containing her new Pokémon.
"A pretty impressive catch, Kairi," Hau said. "And the way you handled your Togepi was pretty sweet." Kairi smiled.
"Thanks Hau," Kairi said.
"I was wondering if you would like to have a battle with me. Right here and now," Hau challgenced. "I got a taste of Sora's skills, so I want to have a taste of yours. So how about it, Kairi?"
"You wanna have a battle with me?" Kairi asked.
"Just as long as Sora wouldn't be so jealous," Hau said.
"As long it's just a battle, then it's cool," Sora agreed.
"Great! Let's make this a full six-on-six battle" Hau said.
"Okay." Kairi accepted. Hau took his Pokéball.
"Go Crabraawler!" Hau shouted. The Pokéball opened and Crabrawler punched the air upon entry. Kairi looked over to Togepi.
"You ready, Togepi?" Kairi asked her first Pokémon.
"Toge!" Togepi nodded.
"Hau is starting off with the same Pokémon he started like with Sora," Acerola said.
"Yes. Togepi has the edge in this since Crabrawler is a Fighting Type and Togepi is a Fiary Type Pokémon," Sora said.
"He's right. But Togepi doesn't know any Fairy Type moves," Lana pointed out.
"No," Mina agreed.
"You're starting off with your Togepi, huh? This will be fun," Hau said. "Crabarawler! Power-Up Punch!" Crabrawler moved towards Togepi to land a powerful punch attack.
"Tgeopi! Safeguard!" Kairi ordered. Togepi forms a protective barrier and Crabrawler's punch attack bounced off. "Now use Metronome!" Togepi swings his little arms back and forth.
"Kairi is using Metronome now?" Hapu asked.
"Kairi might be relying on luck in this one, because just about anything can happen when Metronome is effect," Kiawe said. Sora didn't say anything and watched the battle.
"It might be a damaging attack," Lillie said.
"It might be something that either help his attack, defense, or speed," Illima said.
"Crabrawler! Crabhammer!" Hau ordered. Crabrawler charges towards Togepi to deliever Crabhammer. Togepi's little arms glows in a blue aura finishing Metronome. Static electricity emitted from Togepi's arms. Crabrawler was now paralyzed. "Wow! I didn't see that see that coming!"
"That's what Metronome can do. I never figured it would turn out to be Thunder Wave," Kairi said.
"Wanna keep at it?" Hau asked.
"Please," Kairi answered.
"Crabrawler! Power-Up Punch!" Hau ordered. Crabrawler tried to move, but it couldn't move because of its paralysis.
"Togepi! Swift!" Kairi ordered. Togepi fired Swift and it struck Crabrawler hard. "Now use Last Resort!" Togepi's body glowed the same way he did with Crimson's Dragonair and chared right towards the boxing Pokémon. Crabrawler was down and out. Hau smiled.
"That was sweet! You took out my Crabrawler without a sweat! You're pretty good!" Hau complimented.
"Thanks Hau," Kairi said. She picks up Togepi and Sora walks up and takes him in his arms. "What else you've got?" Hau smiled and took out another Pokéball.
"Just this one! Flareon! Go!" Hau shouted. The Pokéball opens and Flareon is let out. Kairi remembered being the second Pokémon Hau used against Sora in their battle. She pulls out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Go Seel!" Kairi shouted. Seel is let out and she claps her flippers.
"Seel, See, Seel!" Seel clapped.
"Figured you would send out a Water Type against my Flareon. This one be so easy like with Sora's Squirtle taking down my Flareon," Hau said.
"I don't. Show me how much stronger Flareon is," Kairi said.
"With pleasure. Flareon! Fire Fang!" Hau ordered. Flareon charges towards Seel with its fangs emitting fire.
"Seel! Dodge and use Headbutt!" Kairi ordered. Seel dodges and lands a headbutt on the flame Pokémon. "Now fire Aurora Beam!" Seel fires Aurora Beam and it hits Flareon on the mark.
"Flareon! Will-O-Wisp!" Hau ordered. Flareon forms blusih white flames and sends them off towards the sea lion Pokémon. Kairi knew that move will cause Seel some burns when it hits. She had to think fast.
"Seel! Ice Shard!" Kairi ordered. Seel forms shards of ice and sends them to block Will-O-Wisp, but the flames metled right through the shards of ice, resulting in steam. Seel moved right passed the flames, missing their target. Flareon couldn't see Seel coming.
"That Ice Shard must be pretty cold if steam is being made," Sophocles said.
"It is common knowledge Seel came from the coldest regions in the world. What else could she have in store?" Illima asked.
The steam cleared andd Seel is seen standing right beside Flareon.
"Headbutt!" Kairi ordered. Flareon turned to look and Seel lands a headbutt on Flareon. "Now finish up up with Surf!" Seel forms some water and rides the tidal wave. The attack lands a hit on Flareon. The water had subsided and Seel claps happily. Flareon was down and out as well.
"Wow! That's two you took down!" Hau said, calling back his Flareon. He pulls out his next Pokéball. "Go Komala!" The Pokéball opens and Komala is let out. Kairi knew how tough Komala is since seeing her the last time.
"That was different. Hau used his Raichu before Komala. I guess this is not as close to the last time as I thought," Illima said.
"He must be trying something new," Sora said. He remembered how his Raichu took out Pikachu. It was either because of experience or it was because of telepathy. Kairi calls back Seel and takes out the Pokéball containing her newest Pokémon.
"Go Bounsweet!" Kairi called out throwing her Pokéball. It opens and Bounsweet spins her leaves upon entry. "This is going to be your first battle and I want you to do your very best, Bounsweet!"
"Bounsweet! Bouns!" Bounsweet chirped.
"I just hope Kairi doesn't have a hard time with that Komala like I did," Sora said.
"Bounsweet! Use Sweet Scent!" Kairi ordered. bounscent lets out a sweet smelling scent. It reached the nostrils of the sleeping koala Pokémon. Komala found the smell to her liking.
"Komala! Wood Hammer!" Hau ordered. Komala rolled onto her log and swung it right at the fruit Pokémon.
"Dodge it!" Kairi shouted. Bounsweet dodged the log. "Now use Energy Ball!" Bounsweet forms a green ball of energy and fires it right at Komala. The attack strikes hard. "Now fire Razor Leaf!" Bounsweet fires Razor Leaf right towards Komala.
"Block with Wood Hammer!" Hau ordered. Komala blocks Razor Leaf, knocking the leaves down to the ground. "Now use Shadow Claw!" Komala's shadowy claw takes a swipe right on Bounsweet. Kairi figured she had to be softend up from that battle with Togepi, but she wasn't going to let that stop her.
"Bounsweet! Sweet Scent!" Kairi ordered. Bounsweet lets out the sweet smelling scent again and Komala became dazed by the smell. "Now fire Energy Ball!" Bounsweet fires Energy Ball and it strikes Komala hard. She goes down for the count. Sora was pretty proud of his girlfriend.
"Way to go, Kairi!" Sora praised her.
"Pika, Pika!" Pikachu added.
"Toge, Toge!" Togepi chirped.
"Pichu!" The two Pichu added.
Kairi smiled back at Sora. She felt proud to beat the Pokémon that Sora couldn't beat before. She figured he woud use his Raichu, Tauros and Decidueye next. She had to be ready for anything Hau had next. Hau took out his next Pokéball after calling Komala back.
"It's your turn, Tauros!" Hau shouted. Tauros skidded the ground upon entry. Kairi calls back Bounsweet after the battle with Komala.
"You should rest up. You earned it," Kairi said. She takes out her next Pokéball and threw it. "It's your turn, Abra!" The Pokéball opens and Abra gladly enters the battle for Kairi.
"Tauros! Take Down! Let's go!" Hau ordered. Tauros charges towards the psi Pokémon with the full force of his body.
"Abra! Teleport!" Kairi ordered. Abra teleports out of the way of Tauros's attack. Abra reappears again. Tauros wasn't going to take that with good humor. The bovine Pokémon snorts. Tauros charges towards Abra again. "Mega Kick!" Abra gives Tauros a clean cut kick in the face. That made Tauros angry.
"MOO!" Tauros roared angrily.
"That didn't look good," Sophocles said.
"Abra's Mega Kick in the face really made Tauros mad," Hapu said.
"And Tauros wants to have payback with Abra. Bigtime," Mallow said.
"Tauros! Horn Attack!" Hau ordered. Tauros charges towards Abra again with his horns.
"Abra! Teleport again!" Kairi ordered. Abra teleports before tauros could land a hit. Tauros looks around for the psi Pokémon. "Psychic!" Tauros felt himself getting lifted and Abra appeared right in front of the wild bull Pokémon and slams Tauros down to the ground. Tauros manages to get back on his hooves and was angered by that move. Kairi saw how it wasn't enough to keep Tauros down.
"Tauros is much tougher than I remember. Sora managed to take him down with Growlithe, but I don't think it's going to be easy. Better play this smart," Kairi said in her thoughts.
"That Tauros is tougher than I remember," Sora said in his thoughts. "I know Kairi will put that heffer down just like I did."
"Tauros! Iron Head!" Hau ordered. Tauros charges towards Abra with his head giving a metallic glow.
"Abra! Teleport!" Kairi ordered. Abra teleports again and Tauros misses his mark. "Mega Punch!" Abra appears again and lands a Mega Punch right on Tauros's side. Tauros huffed and rams into Abra with a full force, causing heavy damage. "Abra!" She ran up to her Pokémon, helping him up. "Are you okay?" Abra looked at her and saw concern in her eyes. Abra nods. "I'm glad to hear that, Abra. I know you can do it. Mega Punch!" Abra ran towards Tauros to land a Mega Punch.
"Tauros! Use Horn Attack!" Hau ordered. Tauros ran towards Abra with his horns. Both attacks collides with each other and they both take heavy blows. Both Kairi and Hau suffered a double knockout. Kairi and Hau calls back both Tauros and Abra. "Man, that was an intense round. One of yours goes down.
"But the battle's not over ye, Hau," Kairi said. She takes out her next Pokéball. Hau did the same thing.
"Let's give it everything we've got," Hau said.
"Go Raichu!" Kairi and Hau shouted. The Pokéballs opens and both Raichu enters the battle ready to battle with each other. Pikachu remembered losing to the Alolan Raichu pretty well.
"Your Raichu looks awesome, Kairi. But, my Raichu is even more awesome since he's both an Electric Type and a Psychic Type," Hau said.
"It doesn't matter whose is better because both of our Raichu are going to give it everything they have," Kairi said. Hau nodded.
"Then, show me everything you've got!" Haue dared her.
"I plan to," Kairi said. "Raichu! Quick Attack!" Raichu ran across the ground to deliever a direct assault on his Alolan counterpart.
"Raichu! You use Quick Attack too!" Hau ordered. The Alolan Raichu rode on his tail and clashed with the Kantonian Raichu. Both were taken back. "Now use Electro Ball!" The Alolan Raichu forms a ball of electricity and sends it towards Kairi's Raichu.
"Raichu! Dodge and use Thunder Punch!" Kairi ordered. Raichu's fist emits electricity and lands a powerful punch on the Alolan Raichu.
"Use Focus Blast!" Hau ordered. Hau's Raichu forms a ball of blue energy and sends it towards Kairi's Raichu.
"Dodge and use Quick Attack!" Kairi ordered. Her Raichu manages to avoid the Focus Blast as Raichu ran. The Alolan Raichu kept firing Focus Blast again and again. One of the blasts manages to hit Kairi's Raichu on the mark.
"This is so epic! A battle between two Raichu," Sophocles said.
"I am curious to see how this will turn out," Illima said.
"I'm so excited! I don't think I can contain it!" Mallow exclaimed.
"Me neither!" Lana said.
"Me neither!" Lillie and Mina said together.
"Raichu! Psychic!" Hau ordered. The Alolan Raichu lifted Kairi's Raichu in the air and slams him to the ground. It wasn't enough to take him down as Hau soon found out. "Your Raichu is tougher than I thought! But will he withstand another Psychic?"
"Try it!" Kairi dared him.
"Raichu! Psychic!" The Alolan Raichu manages to lift his Kantonian counterpart in his telepathy. Kairi smiled as she knew he took the bait.
"Raichu! Thunderbolt!" Kairi ordered. Kairi's Raichu fires Thunderbolt and struck the Alolan form mouse Pokémon. The Alolan Raichu drops Kairi's Raichu and he lands on his feet. The Alolan Raichu falls right to the ground. "Now use Seismic Toss!" Kairi's Raichu went over to the Alolan Raichu and gave him a toss. The Alolan Raichu plummets straight to the ground, but Hau had an ace up his sleeve.
"Raichu! Electro Ball!" Hau ordered. THe Alolan Raichu forms a ball of electricity and throws it to the ground to soften his landing. He manages to regain his control of his psychic powers. "Now Use Focus Blast!" The Alolan Raichu fires Focus Blast and it hits Kairi's Raichu right on the money. Kairi's Raichu goes down and he's out of the match.
"And that makes two you lost!" Hau said.
"Yeah, but you lost Tauros when my Abra was knocked out too," Kairi said. She calls back her fallen Raichu. "You battled hard. You deserve a good rest."
"You battled awesomely, Raichu! I knew you could do it!" Hau praised his Raichu.
"Rai, Rai!" The Alolan Raichu said. Kairi knew what was coming next when she took out her next Pokéball. Hau calls back his Raichu and takes out his next Pokéball and threw it.
"Go for it, Decidueye!" Hau shouted. Decidueye came out preening his leafy feathers. Kairi threw her Pokéball.
"Go for it, Jigglypuff!" Kairi shouted.
"Jigglypuff!" Jigglypuff said, taking a bow.
Hau knew Spirit Shackle and Phantom Force won't do anything since Jigglypuff is a Normal Type Pokémon as well as a Fairy Type.
"Decidueye! Leaf Blade!" Hau ordered. Decidueye rushes towards the balloon Pokémon with his wing giving a green glow.
"Jigglypuff! Disarming Voice!" Kairi ordered. Jigglypuff opens her mouth and releases a beam of purple hearts in a loud shrieking voice, hitting Decidueye.
"Jigglypuff must have learned that attack just recently," Lillie pointed out.
"That makes sense," Sora said.
"Now use Rollout!" Kairi ordered. Jigglypuff rolled into a ball and rolls towards the arrow quill Pokémon.
"Leaf Storm!" Hau ordered. Decidueye whips up a storm of leaves and they head right towards Jigglypuff. She manages to roll pass the leaves and strike Decidueye on the mark. Hau knew it gets stronger from every hit. Jigglypuff rolls right towards Decidueye again. "Leaf Blade!" Decidueye swings his wing while it's glowing and struck Jigglypuff hard. Decidueye flew towards Jigglypuff to land another Leaf Blade.
"Jigglypuff! Sing!" Kairi ordered. Jigglypuff sang her song and multicolored music notes swirled around Decidueye.
"Get away from there! Hurry!" Hau called out. Decidueye flew straight up and narrowly avoids Jigglypuff's song. "I guess trying a little lullabye back fired on you, didn't it?"
"It was pretty close, don't you think?" Kairi asked.
"It sure was. Now it's time to wrap this up! Leaf Blade!" Hau called out. Decidueye charged towards Jigglypuff to land another hit.
"No you don't! Jigglypuff! Disarming Voice!" Kairi ordered. Jigglypuff givves another Disarming Voice and Decidueye stops in his tracks. "Now use Sing again!" Jigglypuff sang her song again and this time, Decidueye fell right to sleep.
"Decidueye! Wake up!" Hau shouted. It was no use. Decidueye was out like a light.
"Jigglypuff! Rollout!" Kairi ordered. Jigglypuff rolled into a ball again and rolled right into Decidueye. He wasn't bothered too much since sleeping. Jigglypuff landed another successful hit and it was much stronger. Sora was once again proud of her.
"Way to go, Kairi!" Sora praised her.
Jigglypuff was about to land another hit when Decidueye woke up and stopped her with his talon and gave her a toss.
"Puff!" Jiggly puff shouted. Jigglypuff rolls to the ground in a daze from the throw, but she regains her posture.
"Good to see you up and about! Leaf Blade!" Hau ordered. Decidueye charges towards Jigglypuff to land another hit, but Kairi had an idea on how to tire out Decidueye.
"Jigglypuff! Make him chase you around!" Kairi called out. Jigglypuff nodded and floats up in tha air. Decidueye chases after Jigglypuff, Jigglypuff inhales some air and floats up in the air. Jigglypuff makes Decidueye chase her around in the air. Hau wasn't sure what she was doing, but he wasn't going to let that stop him. Sora knew she was planning to tire out Decidueye and probably do what she did in that one battle at the Poké Maiden tournament with a Xatu. "Exhale!" Jigglypuff dose that and Decidueye kept chasing after her, but he quickly gets dizzy and tired from the chase. Decidueye lands on the ground panting and stumbling around. Kairi saw her chance to end the battle. "Rollout!"
"Jiggly!" Jigglypuff rolls into a ball and rolls straight into Decidueye, earning her a knockout. The Grass and Ghost Type Pokémon was down and out. Hau was shocked to see his strongest Pokémon had lost and he knew Kairi had won the battle.
"No way. I lost," Hau said in disbelief. He starts to smile. "That was so epic! You really are Sora's girlfriend! You're just as aweome as you are cute!" Kairi blushed at that. Sora went up to her and gaver her a hug.
"I knew you could do it, Kairi," Sora said. He gave her a kiss on the lips. She kissed him back. Hau went up to his fallen partner.
"You okay, Decidueye?" Hau asked. Decidueye nodded. He looked at his trainer quite saddened. "You don't need to worry about it. You're always be a winner to me, buddy. I promise you that." Now Decidueye didn't feel bad about losing. Hau walked up to Kairi as she and Sora had stopped kissing. He shook her hand. "Again congragulations, Kairi."
"Thanks Hau," Kairi said.
"Now that the battle is settled, how about we get a move on. We should be reaching the nearby city by nightfall," Hapu said.
"Right! Let's get a move on," Sora agreed.
The group made their way to the nearest city and stayed at the local Pokémon Center to stay for the night. Kairi had exchanged Jigglypuff and Seel for Cubone and Magby as soon as her Pokémon were healed up along with everyone else's.
Sora and Kairi had left their Pokémon in the room of the Pokémon Center as the couple decided to have their own dinner as their friends got to spend some time with Hau.
Over to Weevil and Rex, they are on Silver Rock Isle, still recovering from their injuries.
"I can't believe we got our asses kicked by those punks again!" Rex exclaimed.
"This is way too much!" Weevil also exclaimed.
"They won't get the best of us again! That Ketchum kid and that girlfriend of his are going to pay through the nose the next time we see them!" Rex stated.
"Here, here!" Weevil agreed. Just as they started to get a move on, they heard something behind them. They turned to see a wormhole open. They gasped when something came out of it. This creature that resembles an anthropomorphic, feminine cockroach. It is primarily white with a thin build. Its torso is composed of five thin discs that droop slightly downward. The widest disc makes up its shoulders, the second widest its hips, and the two smallest its chest and waist. There is a gold ovoid inside of the widest disc, where its long, thin neck protrudes from. Its arms and legs are also long and thin with gold joints. Its hands and feet are both composed of two golden claws. The creature has a small, semi-flattened head with a yellow, crown-like structure on top. The two tallest points of the crown point to its long, thin antennae, which are white with small gold balls at the tips. Attached to the back of its head are two structures resembling insect wings. The wings are transparent, curve slightly inward, and reach nearly to the ground. It has narrow, purple eyes with bright blue pupils. This is an Ultra Beast known as Pheromosa. Along with Pheromosa were tiny creatures that looked like origami. It appears to be folded out of a sheet of paper which is white on one side and red on the other. Its head is folded slightly inside its body and has a four-sided star in the center, but no discernible facial features. On top of its head are two short antennae or horns that are wider at the top. It has long, thin arms that resemble katanas with a yellow, sheath-like structure around the upper area. The sheath connects to a red, slightly raised hexagon on its torso. Extending up and out from the base of each sheath are three yellow projections that are nearly as long as its arms. Its legs appear creased with areas of red visible along the edges. Those were Ultra Beasts known as Kartana. Rex and Weevil screams and their screams are echoed throughout Silver Rock Isle.
Pheromosa and Kartana have made themselves known and it won't be long before Necromza crosses over as well. How will Sora and the others be able to deal with these Ultra Beasts? Just wait and see.
