(Ok so it's time I stopped stalling and actually write this damn thing. Now first of all I can't promise it's gonna be good, but I can promise I'll actually be awake writing it unlike Pokemaster Betrayed. Downside is I'll only have 3 days a week to actually work on this due to my job so updates will be incredibly slow.)
"This is awesome!" A one-armed boy said. He stared out at sea while on the ship to the Sinnoh region. He wore a black T shirt with a yellow stripe going diagonal from his right shoulder to his left waist, blue jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. His black hair flowed with the wind. On his shoulder was his partner she had the long ears, fur, and electric sack of a Pikachu but the body type of a Mew including the playfulness. This was Akira Ketchum son of the Alolan Champion Ash Ketchum and his partner Mikachu.
Without warning a Gorebyss jumped above the deck where everyone saw. Everyone took pictures, everyone except Akira who hid under a table and started hyperventilating.
"Come on Akira it's not going to hurt you." Mikachu said trying to console him and it worked as she flew into his arms. The 12-year-old boy has been terrified of all water Pokemon even his father's. They sat there for a bit until someone came in front of where he was hiding. He couldn't tell who it was, but he scooted back a bit he didn't want to be bothered.
"Hey are you ok?" The person asked, by the sound of the voice it was clearly a girl probably around his age. "I saw you run away scared when that Gorebyss popped up."
"Ye…yeah." trying to control his breathing but the flashbacks wouldn't stop.
"I'm not convinced." She came under with him and sat down. "I could hear you breathing." She said and took a look at his face for a minute. "Do I know you? You seem really familiar." She asked in curiosity.
The girl had brown eyes, black triangular eyebrows, brown hair in a ponytail. She wore a blue t shirt with a black semi-circle on it, white shorts over black and blue leggings, pink shoes with black straps, white bows and soles, and a white backpack with one strap tied in a knot.
"I don't think so, I'm from the Alola region." Akira answered controlling his breathing better.
"Now I'm sure I do. It'll come to me eventually. Anyway, are you feeling better?" She asked Akira nodded. She looked at Mikachu in his arms and left.
"I swear I know him from somewhere. Alola region." She mumbled walking away.
"Akira did you not recognize her?" Mikachu asked
"Nope." He stood up but since he was still under the table, he smacked his head on the bottom and rolled around in pain while hissing. Mikachu sat on the edge of the table unsure what to do. So, she watched him roll around for a minute, but something caught her eye. A certain fox was trying to grab some food. Mikachu curious about this Zorua decided to keep an eye on it for a bit not sure if it's Akira's or not.
The Zorua looked back and forth and snickered as it used its illusion to make itself seem like a human child. More specifically Akira who was still in pain. When Zorua tried to grab the food, it was levitated by psychic to an unamused Mikachu.
"What and how are you here Zorua?" Mikachu asked floating behind her. Zorua turned around snickering releasing her illusion.
"Should have known you of all mons would catch me." Zorua said
"Of course, we've been on the same team for 5 years now. How would I not catch you." Mikachu answered and her eyes flashed pink for a moment then normal. "Now what are you doing here and how are you here?"
"You weren't going to leave me behind so when Akira left his room, I emptied out his bag and climbed inside." Mikachu shocked at her friend's stupidity just floated there for a moment until a pokeball hit her in the face.
"Useless pokeball." He grabbed one of the pokeballs on his belt and threw it. "Scyther use X-Scissor!" The bug/flying type rushed Mikachu and given Zorua was near they both had to dodge but they rammed into each other and got hit by the move.
"Too easy. Now Bug Bite!" The boy yelled
"Mikachu Thunderbolt, Zorua Dark Pulse!" Akira who finally recovered from his head injury ordered his Pokemon who were being attacked by this trainer. They sent their attacks at the Scyther who was knocked out immediately. "Return." He said returning his fainted Pokemon then glared at Akira before storming over to him.
"What's the big idea getting in my way of catching that Pokemon!?" This kid was clearly younger than him and probably spoiled rotten.
"I got in your way cause they are my Pokemon not wild." Akira told him but the boy wasn't having it. Mikachu and Zorua climbed onto his shoulders and relaxed.
"Well I want it so hand it over." He said holding out his hand
"I'm sorry what?"
"That Pokemon. I want it so give it."
"No." He simply said. Why would he hand over any of his Pokemon in the first place?
"I said I want it so give it to me!" The boy whined getting his parents attention and came over to their kid.
"Rodrick." The mother said, Mikachu rolled her eyes already knowing this will be a headache.
"Akira can we leave?"
"Yeah ok." He started to walk away but felt his arm get grabbed. He saw it was a man presuming it was the boy's father. He looked over at the boy and saw him smirking thinking he won with his Feraligator tears. "Sir, can I help you?"
"What did you do to my son?" He demanded
"He wanted my Pokemon so I told him no. He's not getting Mikachu no matter what." Akira answered
"He's lying." The boy started the tears again. "I was trying to catch it then he got in my way and hit me!"
"That's Tauros crap and you know it!" Akira yelled at him
"Fine I'll settle this." The man got out a check book and wrote down some numbers and handed the check to him. "I'm sure this should be enough to trade." Akira responded by
"I don't even have to look at it and I can tell you that my family already has more money then you and unlike you both mine knows how to raise a kid." Akira said walking away not wanting to deal with them. He heard the boy talking about him being a one-armed freak but that didn't bother him mostly cause he had Mikachu with him to make up for his missing arm.
"That was awesome Akira!" Zorua cheered. Akira laughed at this unable to act serious anymore.
"That was something I would have preferred to use Thunderbolt to send them flying." Mikachu said. Akira stared at her for a minute then smiled.
"Wish I could just get a break though." He said grabbing the shoulder where his arm used to be. They both looked at him in worry. "First that incident last year cost me my arm and now I can't even stand being near Water types." He gave his Pokemon a smile. "Well let's check out the stadium." They all cheered as they walked over to the stadium and saw a battle going on between a Sawk and a Leafeon.
"Leafeon use Leaf Blade!" The Leafeon ran forward towards Sawk with the leaf on its head glowing while Sawk didn't try to move.
"Now Sawk do it!" The trainer yelled to the fighting type. "Focus Punch!" The Punch overpowered Leafeon's Leaf Blade and sent it flying past it's trainer unconscious.
"Leafeon is unable to battle, Sawk is the winner!" People cheered
"Sucks we didn't see the whole battle. Bet it was amazing." Akira spoke
"It sure was." A voice said causing Akira to jump and nearly fall on his butt.
"Ow." He groaned. He stood up and was face to face with the girl from before.
"You're that girl from before!" He shouted pointing at her.
"Glad to see your doing all right. Anyway, you want to team up with me for the tag team tournament?" The girl asked him.
"Tag team?" He asked tilting his head
She sighed and pointed to a poster on the wall. "The Tag team tournament starts in 2 hours. Winners get a Pokemon egg, but I don't know anyone on this ship, and everyone keeps trying to team up with me."
"Why?"
"Cause of who my mom is. She's the Sinnoh Champion." Gears in Akira's head started to turn. "Wait Verity is that you!?"
"Yup it's me, Akira." He was shocked to say the least, but he jumped and hugged her out of sheer joy of seeing his friend again.
"It's been awhile." He chuckled a bit
"Yeah 3 years." They pulled away from the hug and she noticed something. "I thought you had your arm in your sleeve this whole time, but you really lost it didn't you?"
Akira gripped his sleeve tightly and nodded at that. "It was last year. Things happened and Dad still isn't happy he blames himself at what happened."
"Well what happened?"
Akira proceeds to tell Verity about the events last year. She understood why he was afraid of water Pokemon now.
"Yeah they weren't really good at torturing me though."
"Wait you said they chained you up and had a Typhosion use Flamethrower on you?" She asked shocked
"First how are you not dead. And second did it leave any scars?" She asked worried
"I'm not sure. I've asked Dad but he doesn't either so yeah. And there's a few nasty scars on my chest. It doesn't hurt anymore." Akira told her. "I'm fine though. I got my pokemon always by my side to help. Especially Mikachu."
"So Michu evolved?" He nodded
"Yup she's Mikachu now but we haven't trained in over a year so we might be rusty." They laughed together. They check the time and realized they got so lost in the conversation they forgot to sign up for the tournament. They ran to the desk and signed up as tag team partners.
"You both made it just in time. In 5 minutes, we were going to stop registrations." The man said. "Good luck." He then looked at the paper for their names and nearly spit out his coffee when he saw their last names. 'I should be saying good luck to the other competitors if they are as good as their parents.'
Akira sat down next to Verity as they got caught up over the few years, they haven't seen each other.
"So, what have you been up to since we last saw each other?"
"I've been in Kanto. Have you heard they have a new Professor since Professor Oak died?" Akira slightly flinched at that because he found out what happened through his mom yelling at his dad. Sometimes he finds it hard to believe she used to be shy.
"Participating in the Kanto league, right?"
"Yeah, but I didn't get very far. Actually, my team and I got destroyed. Not like you can win your first league. Actually, it's impossible cause you're against so many powerful and experienced trainers." Verity said with a smile.
Akira jumped up "I know right, it's so exciting and I want to become a strong trainer like that someday." He flopped back into his seat. "Man, I can just see that day right now!" He yelled
"Contestants please report to the field to find out what match your in?" Akira and Verity got up and walked towards the stadium. They saw they were in the second match against Someone named Rodrick and Stan.
"Wonder who they are?" Akira asked
"Either way we'll win." Verity said they high fived and walked back waiting for their turn. They watched the first match not planning at all on how to counter either of them just enjoying it.
One team had a Diggersby and Metang while the other had Frostlass and a Pokemon neither of them has heard of.
~Battle~
"Frostlass use Shadow Ball now!' One trainer said as the Ghost/Ice type fired balls of ghost energy at Metang.
"Metang! Metal Claw!" It cut the ball in half but was to slow for to dodge an incoming attack.
"Corviknight Steel Wing!" This knocked the Metang into Diggersby.
"Diggersby Dig around the stadium now!" As commanded the Pokemon dug a whole and started to dig tunnels throughout the stadium.
"Too easy. Frostlass Phantom Force! Then follow up with Blizzard!' The trainer commanded
"Oh no you don't Flash Cannon!' This attack hit them dead on and Frostlass didn't get to vanish before hit by a ground type move.
"Where did that-when did this happen?" Corviknight's trainer asked shocked.
"Corviknight U-Turn now!" Surrounded by a green energy it charged forward towards Metang who readied Metal Claw.
They clashed neither backing down. They assumed it would be even until they saw Metang's trainer with a smirk.
"Use your other arm for Meteor Mash!" Its arm slammed into Corviknight and distracted it long enough for Metal Claw to hit. This damaged the bird a bit but not enough.
"Diggersby Mud Shot through the tunnels!" Pillars of Mud cam rushing out of the holes and nearly hit Frostlass had Corviknight not picked her up.
"Frostlass Blizzard." Frostlass froze the mud this led back and hit Diggersby knocking it out.
"Diggersby is unable to battle!"
"Damn."
Metang Flash Cannon on Frostlass!"
"Brave Bird!"
"Shadow Ball!"
Both attacks tore through Flash Cannon and hit Metang knocking it out.
"Metang is unable to battle. The winners of this battle are Chris and Sarah!" They waved at the crowed as they walked off the battlefield.
"Yeah were next!" Akira cheered as they marched up. Once they got to the stadium, they met their opponents.
"Hey, you're that kid that stopped me from catching that Pokemon. And claimed to be richer than my Daddy!" The boy now known as Rodrick said accusingly
"Ummm. Sorry I don't remember you." Akira said honestly trying.
"What you cheated against my Scyther and had your Pokemon attack me!" Rodrick yelled again
"Umm if your done with introductions we have a match to get to." The ref interrupted feeling awkward.
"Hmf fine. Father let's show them what powerful Pokemon can do." Rodrick looked up at his father
"Of course, son." They both threw their pokeballs
"Ready Akira?" Verity asked
"Yeah."
"Zorua go!" The illusion Pokemon hopped onto the field giggling.
"Escavalier!" Verity yelled
"Tyranitar smash them!" Rodrick shouted
"Gyarados go." Upon seeing the water type Akira felt weak in the knees. He tried to tell Zorua to call out an attack, but he got dizzy and fell on his butt.
"Akira!" Verity called out in worry as she ran over to him to stop him from passing out.
"Tyranitar use Stone Edge on that Zorua!"
"Gyarados Hydro Pump on Escavalier!"
Verity gave them a dirty look. They knew about this and intentionally used a Water type. Zorua and Escavalier tried to dodge but they got hit. This caused a small smokescreen on the field not enough though.
"Zorua! Akira can't do anything I need your help to take down that Gyarados!"
"Yeah I'll beat those dirty cheaters!" Zorua called out to Verity then looked at the referee to see if that was illegal.
"As long as the Pokemon can battle then it's legal." The ref answered. "However he can not leave or it will be a forfit."
"Right." Verity still holding Akira called out. "Escavalier use Swords Dance, Zorua provide cover with Dark Pulse on Gyarados!" She ordered
"Gyarados Hydro Pump!"
"Double Team both of you!" Verity ordered this caused Hydro Pump to miss. This allowed Dark Pulse to hit it's mark. Gyarados stumbled back a bit but not enough to beat it.
"Tyranitar Earthquake!" Thomas yelled
"Zorua jump onto Escavalier and Escavalier put both of your spears into the ground and use Endure!" She wasn't sure how much the spears in the ground would protect her but Endure will assure both of them survive.
"Hydro Pump on that Escavalier!" Stan yelled as Gyarados fired a blast of pressurized water at the duo.
"Reversal!" Verity called out. For a split second Escavalier disappeared from sight and next it was behind Gyarados who fell a second later. It wasn't knocked out but was having some difficulty.
"Tyranitar Hyper Beam!"
"Zorua Dark Pulse! Escavalier Giga Impact!" With Zorua still on top of Escavalier their attacks combined as they tore through the Hyper Beam and knocked out both Tyranitar and Gyarados.
"Gyarados and Tyranitar are unable to battle. The winners are Akira and Verity." Not bothering to return Escavalier she carried Akira to an infirmary where he can rest. It didn't take long as it was nearby the battlefield incase anyone is unfortunate enough to get hit by a powerful attack like Blast Burn.
"Hello. I saw your battle and assume you want your friend to rest here?" The Doctor said, Verity nodded.
"Yeah." He led them to a bed where he can lie down and the Doctor checked his pulse and breathing.
"He should be fine. But not until tomorrow. I suggest he stays here until then." The Doctor told her. "May I ask if you know what caused this?"
"He's scared of water types which is why I didn't use my Piplup in that battle."
"When did you find out about this fear?"
"A few hours ago when I saw him hiding under a table away from a Gorebyss. He didn't act as bad as he did towards that Gyarados though."
"I see." He stood up. "Thank you for answering the questions." He left the room while Verity just sat there until she fell asleep along with the Pokemon. She missed the rest of the first round so she was unable to see who it was that battled. She didn't care however cause right now she was worried for her friend.
