Chapter 2: The Challenge Begins
Hola amigos, so this has got some positive reviews and I like this fic so another chapter it is. Bronze and BIGJAW are still on Melemele and we will probably still be here for a few more chapters. Also, ™ moves can be learned naturally (by the Pokemon who can learn the move) and can be learned the normal way.
Next day…
Bronze was fast asleep on his bed, in some sweatpants and a white T-shirt. BIGJAW was right next to him on his pillow and Luna was curled up by his feet. They looked so peaceful, until they were awakened by the sound of "ALOLA".
Bronze quickly sat up and BIGJAW fell off the bed. Luna was still fast asleep. "Man, you're a heavy sleeper", Bronze said. BIGJAW rubbed its head and climbed back on the bed. Bronze started to rub his eyes so he could start the day. But, his door flew wide open and Hau came into the room with a big grin on his face.
"Good Morning everyone", Hau said, in his usual energetic manner.
"Hey Hau", Bronze said. "What are you doing in my house".
"I just came to wake you up", Hau said.
"Dude, it's still dark out", Bronze said. He could just tell that it was late from how tired he felt.
"Nope, the sun is just rising", Hau said as he opened the blinds.
Bronze was nearly blinded by the light so he put in his hat to protect himself. "Man, Alolan sun is hotter and brighter than Johto's", Bronze said.
"Eh, I'm used it. Now, I'm gonna go adventure", Hau said. "Alola", he said before running off.
"Let's get to it, guys", Bronze said to his Pokemon.
One changing and packing sequence later…
Bronze had on the clothes from yesterday, washed off course, and he grabbed his stick. He was ready to go out there again. Bronze said bye to his family and started to walk out of his house. He then saw another town that was pretty close to his house, so he decided to walk over.
Hau'oli City
Bronze walked into the city and took in the scenery, there was a Pokemon center right at the start of it so he could keep his Pokemon healthy. He kept walking then saw his two friends by a Tauros. Hau was ecstatic about seeing it and Lillie seemed a bit startled. Bronze was about to go forth but then saw his dad run over.
"Be careful kids, these are powerful beasts", his dad said.
"Wow, you got a Tauros", Hau asked.
"We got a ton of them", Bronze said.
"You can always count the cowboys to have a bunch if critterz", Rotom Dex said through Bronze's bag.
"Wow, these are straight from Johto too", Hau said.
"Guys, give me a bit to calm it down so I can take it back home", Bronze's dad said.
Bronze and BIGJAW walked away in disappointment. They had been delayed so much and they've only made it past Route 1. The two slowly walked away from the entrance to the rest of city.
"Bronze", he heard a familiar voice say. He turned around to see Lillie behind him. "I'm heading to the Pokemon school, and the professor asked me to come get you", Lillie said.
"Why", Bronze asked.
"So he can show you the school and the principal wanted to see if you're all what the professor said you'd be", Lillie said.
"Guess it beats just moping around", Bronze said. BIGJAW nodded in agreement.
The three walked to the school and Bronze had already seen Kukui talking to a woman. "Hello professor, I brought Bronze", Lillie said.
"Hola, I'm Bronze and this is my partner, BIGJAW", Bronze said as he tipped his hat. BIGJAW said hi by just waving.
"So you're the professors cousin, from Johto", the lady asked.
"Yep, that's me", Bronze replied
"It's odd to have a new trainer in Alola that doesn't pick a traditional starter", the lady said.
"Is it even odder to catch your own started when you were sent in a berry run", Bronze asked as he pointed his stick to BIGJAW.
Rotom Dex flew out of the bag and said, "Don't go hot headed on me".
"My, my you definitely are what the professor said you were", the lady said. "I'm the principal of the Pokemon school and if you really are what the professor made you sound like, then you'll beat my top students", the principal said.
Bronze didn't know how to respond, he wasn't even aware that the professor was already making him a reputation. "Of course he'll do it, I've seen him dish out some pretty strong moves during the short time he's been here", Kukui said in confidence. Bronze was a bit worried, he had no clue how strong these guys would be and he's a really new trainer.
"You can start now, please take you're time", the principal said as she walked off.
Bronze sighed and was about to find these students when he had his arm grabbed. "Please, don't push Totodile too hard", Lillie said..
"I won't", Bronze replied as he walked to a trainer.
He was in the middle of a tennis court getting ready to play a game against himself. Kinda sad. "Hey, let's battle", Bronze said.
"Seriously", the guy said in a tone that snobby rich kids talk in.
"What's the deal, isn't that how you ask for a battle", Bronze said in a angered tone.
"No, it's not that, it's because you're not ready face me", the guy said acting like a smartass.
"Ok, so what makes you so high and mighty, short stack", Bronze said, using his own height of 6'0 to insult the shorter tennis trainer.
The trainer blushed, "Why don't you battle the other trainers, then you can put your money where your mouth is", he said.
"Whatever you say", Bronze said as he walked off. BIGJAW squirted water in the trainer's face for being a dickwad, then followed Bronze.
"Don't you just hate those kind of trainers", Rotom Dex said.
Bronze was about to walk into a fenced area when he got jumped. "Hey trainer, want to see if you can handle my status", a kid said, he seemed younger than Bronze for sure.
"...ok", Bronze said, he thought this was gonna be an easy battle.
He threw out his oddish and seemed very confident in it.
"Let's bring it, Luna", Bronze said as he threw the ultra ball. Luna appeared and was ready to battle, she did try to use her ears to get the sun out of her eyes though.
"So what's your status", Bronze asked.
"Right now, nothing", the kid said. Bronze was confused but it was too late when he realized what he meant.
Luna got poisoned and struggled to stand. Bronze remembered a move he used against a Hau's Pichu. "Refresh", Bronze said. Luna's cleansing aura took effect and cured her of the poison. "Sand Attack", Bronze said. Luna kicked sand into oddish eyes.
"Oddish, use Sleep Powder", the youngster said.
Oddish unleashed a slightly blue powder but it completely overshot Luna.
"Quick Attack", Bronze commanded. Luna ran insanely fast and hit Oddish hard. The Oddish crashed, its eyes went swirly, then it fainted.
"W-what, I was sure my status effects would win it for me", the youngster said as he returned it to it's pokeball.
"Well, I guess you do have a status now, fainted", Bronze said. The youngster coughed up some cash and gave it to Bronze.
"Here, take this full heal, it'll take away any status conditions", he said.
Bronze took the bottle and walked off. He was waking to the other side of the school and found another grassy area.
"Hey trainer", he heard a feminine voice said.
"Yeah", Bronze said.
"Let's battle", she said as she threw out her Pikipiki.
"Alright then", Bronze said as he threw out Luna once again.
"Quick attack", Both trainer yelled in unison. The Eevee and Pikipiki both charged at each other with high speeds. Both hit each other on the head. Luna and the opposing Pokemon spun around in confusion and fainted.
Both trainers returned their Pokemon to their pokeballs and looked at each other. "What now", Bronze asked.
"I guess I should give the win to the challenger, a tie breaker normally go…", she was about to finish when bronze stopped her.
"Wait, I don't want to win like that. Let's battle without other Pokemon", Bronze said.
"Bronze", Lillie said. "Is Eevee okay", Lillie asked in concern.
"Luna fainted when they both hit each other with Quick Attack", Bronze said.
"Let me care for the poor girl", Lillie said, she started to pull out a review and potion.
One revival process later…
Luna and the enemy Pikipiki were healed and energized. Bronze felt bad for Luna so he was planning on letting her sit this one out.
"Lillie, you're like a mobile Pokemon Center", Rotom Dex said. She didn't know if it was a compliment or not.
"Let's do this BIGJAW", Bronze said. BIGJAW was ready to I face the woodpecker when Luna jumped in front.
"You're pushing yourself too hard", Lillie said. "You need to rest more".
Luna looked at Bronze with determination in her eyes. Who was Bronze to not let his Pokemon battle. "Alright, BIGJAW just watch", he said to his starter. BIGJAW was a little disappointed but he gained a bit of respect for his fluffy friend.
"Alright, use Peck", the girl said. The Pokemon flew to Luna bd pecked her head.
"Sand Attack", Bronze said. Eevee kicked sand in the opposing Pokemon's face. It landed in the ground.
"Use Gust to get the sand out of your eyes", the trainer said. The Pokemon brought up wind and cleared its eyes.
"Bite", Bronze said. Luna threw itself at the bird and but its wing. The bird screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
"Peck", the girl shouted. The woodpecker started to peck at Luna's eye. Luna threw the bird and rubbed it's eye.
"Quick Attack", Bronze said. Luna charged at a high speed and hit the Pikipiki hard. It hit the ground and fainted.
"That Eevee's no joke", she said as she returned her Pokemon to its pokeball.
"Thanks", Bronze said as he scratched Luna's ears. She seemed to enjoy it, almost forgetting the sun was out. Bronze returned his Eevee to its ultra ball.
Bronze got some cash from the girl and thanked her for the battle. Bronze headed inside the building. "I think I'll tag along with you, to make sure you won't get into trouble", Lillie said.
"Ok", Bronze said, he wasn't about to object. The two walked inside and he heard a young voice.
"Hey trainer, the principal told me to battle you", a very young preschooler said.
"Aww, this isn't even fair", Bronze said to himself. Bronze, reluctantly, sent out BIGJAW.
"Go Bonsly", the preschooler said. She sent out the Pokemon that couldn't decide what it wanted to be.
Bronze wasn't about to get fooled, Sudowoodo is native to Johto and he knew very well it only looked like a grass type, so he made a good choice calling out BIGJAW.
"Water Gun", Bronze said, not exactly feeling it this battle. BIGJAW liked battles but he could tell this wasn't going to be fair. He shot out a blast of water and the Pokemon immediately fainted.
What, it's a preschooler, it's not like that fight was gonna be fair. Have you forgotten already that Bronze actually has knowledge of this crap. He's gonna know a bit more than the average new trainer, sure he's not exactly a pro with battling but he has knowledge.
The girl started to cry and ran off with her fainted tree, rock thing. Bronze felt like a total asshole and so did BIGJAW. They just walked out of the school before they could get any questionable looks.
Bronze and BIGJAW had beaten 3 trainers already, so they logically thought that the overconfident trainer playing tennis would be their next match.
Bronze saw the three trainers he beat over by the over confident trainer he roasted. As he walked over he had his stick hit the ground so they heard a tapping sound. This was supposed to be intimidating. The trainer then pointed to Bronze.
"Well, I see you're ready to face me", the opposing trainer said. "It's sad you came so far, because yet I'm gonna have to put you in your place".
"If you can even reach that high, Bronze said.
"Show 'em who's boss", Rotom Dex said
"Go Grimer", the trainer said. He unleashed a multi colored Grimer.
"Is that a Grimer", Bronze asked. BIGJAW was confused too, it didn't look like ahh Grimer from Johto. Rotom Dex let himself it to Bronze's bag.
"Yep, that's an Alolan Grimer", Rotom Dex said. "Some Pokemon from other regions look different here in Alola", the piece of tech said.
"Alright then, let's do this BIGJAW", Bronze said. BIGJAW go in front and bared his fangs.
"Smog", the trainer opposing trainer said. The Grimer let out a black cloud of thick gas.
"Use Water Gun to wash it away", Bronze said. BIGJAW let out a torrent of water and washed away the poison type move.
"Now, use leer", Bronze said.
BIGJAW executed the move and lowered the Grimer's defenses.
"Use bite", the trainer said. Grimer slid itself to BIGJAW and opened its mouth wide. BIGJAW dodged the attack and used water gun. The representation of the human race got knocked on the ground.
"Metal Claw", Bronze said. BIGJAW swiped at the blob but it just grew itself back. BIGJAW started to feel funny after and was knocked back by pound. Bronze noticed that BIGJAW was looking slightly purple.
"Ha, guess I'm still gonna be big man on campus", the opposing trainer said.
Bronze looked at his partner and saw that he was in pain. Bronze was about to call him back when BIGJAW got up, he turned his head and nodded. Bronze nodded too, he knew BIGJAW wanted to finish this so he allowed it. "You'll still be big man on campus", Bronze said. "For a few more minutes", Bronze said. BIGJAW responded with a hiss and bared his fangs.
"Water Gun", Bronze commanded. BIGJAW unleashed a torrent of water and knocked the blob back. "Propel yourself with Water Gun", Bronze said. BIGJAW shit at the ground and launched himself. He then used Scratch and slashed hard, getting his hand stuck in Grimer. The Grimer was unaffected and seemed to not feel pain from Metal Claw.
"Ha, what made you think that would work after last time", he said.
Bronze looked at his Pokemon and BIGJAW nodded back. He used Water Gun on the Grimer and it hit hard. The Grimer was knocked back, soaked, and fainted.
"H-how", the opposing trainer asked.
"Point blank Water Gun does way more damage than a long ranged", Bronze said. BIGJAW was really happy about his win and showing that snooty trainer who's boss. The 'top' trainer gave Bronze some poke-bucks and walked away in shame.
"You and Totodile battled wonderfully", Lillie said.
"Oh, you were watching", Bronze asked in confusion, since she doesn't like seeing Pokemon get hurt. "I thought you didn't like Pokemon battles", Bronze said.
"Well, I don't necessarily like them but Totodile does out in quite a show", Lillie said. "Here, you go", She said as she offered BIGJAW a Pecha Berry.
BIGJAW was feeling weak from the poison but tried to tough it out. Bronze took the berry and told BIGJAW, "This will cure the poison", Bronze said. BIGJAW chomped on the berry and unduly started to feel better. "Thanks Lillie", Bronze said.
"Your welcome, but BIGJAW may want to have a potion too", Lillie said. She grabbed the spray and said, "This may sting a little". BIGJAW got hit with the spray immediately started to jump in pain, but it went away in a matter of seconds.
"I appreciate it", Bronze said as he tipped his hat.
The teens then heard the sound of a speaker coming on. "Would Bronze please come see the principal after this announcement", a voice from the speaker said.
"What horrible thing did you do, Bronze", Lillie asked as she puffed her cheeks.
"I got no clue", Bronze said.
"That's what they all say".
Bronze rolled his eyes and called BIGJAW to come with him. Bronze walked into the building and found his age old enemy once again.
One climb up the stairs later…
Bronze hated the stairs since his build makes it hard to do more athletic things. He kept walking up the stairs and saw the principle once again.
"What am I in trouble for", Bronze asked. He was really quite confuzzled with this whole situation.
"I must say, I'm quite surprised by you", she said in an angered tone. BIGJAW looked at his trainer with the same worried expression. "That you beat some of my best students", she changed tone to a more excited voice.
Bronze and BIGJAW sighed in relief. "Thanks", Bronze said, not sure if it was a compliment.
"I must test your skills out myself", she said as she pulled out a pokeball.
"Alright then", Bronze said. BIGJAW hissed, basically saying he's ready to battle.
"Let's show these two what years of experience does to you", she said as she threw her pokeball, unleashing a steel orb with one eye and screws. Magnemite sparked, which is kinda like its growl.
"Shoot, I got nothing that's good against electric and steel", Bronze thought to himself. "You got this, BIGJAW", Bronze said. BIGJAW looked at him with an expression that said 'wut'. BIGJAW hope that Bronze knew what he was doing. BIGJAW tried to intimidate the magnet by baring his fangs.
"Oh my, Totodile are much scarier in person", she said sarcastically.
"Oh trust me, you better be scared", Bronze said, getting a bit too confident. BIGJAW was a bit worried since Electric is good against Water and his melee oriented attacks won't do well against a Steel type. "Leer", Bronze said. BIGJAW was about to use Leer when his face seemed to be frightening. The magnet got scared and started to worry. "That wasn't leer", Bronze said. Rotom Dex let itself out of Bronze's bag.
"'Cause it'zzzz not, it'zzz Scary Face", Rotom Dex said.
"Sweet, another new move", Bronze said.
"Thunder Shock", she said. Magnemite started to spark and unleash electricity. BIGJAW dodged the the electric attacks, since he's small and fast.
"Water Gun", Bronze said. BIGJAW shot water from it's mouth the Magnemite used Thunder Shock and the two elemental attacks coldied. It was like a small smoke bomb when the attacks collided. BIGJAW started to rub his eyes and Bronze was cleaning of his sunglasses. BIGJAW then felt a huge amount of pain from a Thunder Shock.
The smoke cleared and Magnemite seemed fine. BIGJAW recovered and looked at Bronze then looked back. Bronze didn't know what he was trying to say, maybe he just needed a smile to keep him going. "We got this, buddy", Bronze said
BIGJAW felt a little better and continued to battle. Thunder Shocks were thrown out and Brinze noticed something. Magnemite's whole body shot electricity so what happens when water and electrify collide.
"Use Water Gun", Bronze said. BIGJAW shot water at the magnet and it tried to shake itslef off. "Now use Bite", Bronze said. BIGJAW bit down on the Pokemon and it used Thunder Shock but shocked itself too. Magnemite and BIGJAW fell to the ground and hit it hard.
"Finding it with Metal Claw", Bronze said. BIGJAW's claws turned her as steel and swiped at the Magnemite. It hit the wall and fainted.
"Impressive", the principal said as she returned the magnet to its pokeball.
BIGJAW would of cheered but it was too tired to do anything. He was about to fall over when Bronze caught him. "You did great man, get a good rest", Bronze said. He was about to return him to his pokeball but he wanted to watch Luna's battle.
"Let's continue with the battle", the Prínciple said as she threw out her next Pokemon. A Meowth materialized out of the pokeball but it looked different.
"An Alolan Meowth, huh", Bronze said. this Meowth was dark purple and had a look on its face that made people feel uncomfortable. "Let's finish this, Luna", Bronze said. Luna was ready to battle and gored at her opponent.
"Quick Attack", Bronze said. Luna quickly charged at the Meowth and hit it hard. Meowth was already having trouble getting up.
"That Eevee hits like a truck", the principle said. "Scratch", she said. Meowth's claws came out and she swiped at Luna's face. Luna tried to use her front legs to rub the scratch she got.
"Sand Attack", Bronze said. Luna kicked sand in the Meotha face. "Finish this with a hard Wuick Attack", Bronze said. Luna charged and slammed into the Meowth, knocking the poor cat out.
"My students aren't strong but not many have beaten me in a battle", she said. She seemed to be in good spirits even after a loss.
"Thanks, but man, you had me on the ropes", Bronze said as he treated his partners to some Oran Berries.
"I wish you the best of luck on your journey, and feel free to tour around the school", she said as she walked up the stairs, most likely to her office.
Bronze started his way down the stairs when he heard this. "Bronze has completed his Pokemon School challenge", from the speakers. Bronze was feeling pretty good, he was carrying a worn out BIGJAW in his arms as he climbed down the steps.
He got outside to see Lillie and Kukui there. "Wow, you must if dealt some pretty powerful moves to have taken down the Principle", Kukui said.
"Oh poor Totodile, here let me get him and Eevee too. Lillie pulled out some potions and sprayed it on the two Pokemon. It stung for a bit but the burning went away. The two felt energized once again and thanked Lillie.
"We can always count on you to care for Pokemon, Lillie", Kukui said. "I can tell that you and BIGJAW are having a blast battling, Bronze". "A bond between a Pokemon and a trainer is special, I can see you two are already becoming good friends. You better treat each other right because you're gonna be best friends for life", Kukui said. He walked off and said Alola.
Bronze looked down at his partner, it's only been a few days and he battles like they've known eachother for years, he follows his commands well and even listens when the strategy isn't the greatest. Bronze picked BIGJAW up and put him on his shoulder. "Why don't you sit up here, you've been doing all the battling", Bronze said. BIGJAW wasn't about to turn down the enticing offer so he hung on.
"I'm glad we're like that too, aren't we Nebby", Lillie said. She looked to her bag but didn't see anything. Nebby made his special sound and was floating around, outside the bag. "Nebby, get back in the bag", Lillie said as she puffed her cheeks.
"Bronze", he heard his dad say. Bronze turned to see his dad riding the Tauros from before. "I took care of the Tauros, I'm gonna ring him back to the house".
"Thanks, dad", Bronze said. His dad rode off.
"How does your dad ride such a Pokemon", Lillie asked.
"Yeah, my dad's ridden Pokemon his whole life", Bronze said.
"ALOLA", yelled Hau as he ran towards the two. Bronze nearly fell but caught himself.
"Jeez Hau, one of these days you're gonna give me a heart attack", Bronze said in an angered tone.
"Sorry, I was just coming to say we should start moving forward into the town", Hau said in his usual carefree manner.
"That is a good idea", Lillie said as she walked off.
"Alright then, forward it is", Bronze said. The three walked to the entrance of the town where the Tauros was blocking. Bronze laid eyes on the large city, he immediately thought it would be a tourist trap. He tried as best as he could but somehow Hau convinced him to get a update for the Rotom Dex so he could take pictures on it.
Hau and Bronze separated and Bronze walked on his own, with BIGJAW walking with him of course. Why did nintendo take away walking with your Pokemon, WHY?!
Bronze was walking to an apparel shop and saw Lillie staring at it. "Are you gonna buy something", Bronze asked. Lillie humor and blushed.
"Oh no, I was just looking", Lillie said. "But I couldn't decide on anything, my mom always picked out my outfits".
"Yeah, me too", Bronze said. "I like to dress like this but my mom always says I wear the same thing all the time".
"Oh really", Lillie said. "You want these", Lillie asked as she pulled out a case. "It's a bunch of colored contacts, I mustered up the courage to walk inside and I was the 1 one millionth customer, so they gave me this, but I have the same one", Lillie said.
"Thanks", Bronze said as he put the case in his backpack.
"Now we got something else in common", Lillie said with a smile.
"You want me to buy you something, I got some money off of trainer battles", Bronze said.
"Oh no, I couldn't ask you to waste money on me", Lillie said with a blush of embarrassment.
"It's not a waste, I'm not exactly looking for anything here anyways", Bronze said.
"It's too much to ask of you, but thank you for being a gentleman to me", Lillie said with a smile.
"You want to show me around here, Hau split up with me to look for 'Malasada'", Bronze said, not knowing what a Malasada actually is.
"Sure, I'd be holy to show you around", Lillie said.
The two looked around the city done more. Bronze had about a million questions thanks. Lillie was happy to answer them for him. As they walked around they saw Hah staring at a shop with his mouth open.
"Hey, Hau", Bronze said. "You found that 'Malasada' yet".
"Oh yeah, this is a Malasada shop, you guys want to join me, 'cause I'm going to tear it up", Hau said with enthusiasm.
"I'll try this Malasada", Bronze said. "Lillie, you in".
"I suppose", Lillie said.
"I'll take that as a yes", Hau said as he bolted into the store.
"Dang, he really has a lot do energy", Bronze said. The two walked into the store only to be greeted by the aroma of warm fruit and fried dough. They saw the honey little shop and saw Hau at a table, waving to them to come to him.
Bronze and Lillie looked at the menu. Bronze and Lillie had no clue what to order. "Excuse me, I've never had Malasada before and my friend here hasn't had one in a while, what do you recommend", Bronze asked. The lady behind the counter asked for a order of Sweet Malasada.
"Ladies first", Bronze said to Lillie. She rolled her eyes and walked to the table. Bronze asked for a few more Malasada for his Pokemon too. He took money out of his hat put the money on the table for two Malasada and went to sit with his friends. He pulled up a chair, put down his stick, and sat down. Hau let out his Rowett and Pichu and Bronze let out Luna so she could enjoy the food too.
After a few minutes of chatting and waiting, the food arrived. The group took in the smell of the fried dough. Bronze took of his hat and placed it on the table, like how all Cowboys do when it's time to eat, at least according to his dad. Lillie grabbed a fork and knife while Bronze and Hau used their hands. The Pokemon were eating on the ground, Nebby was there too so he could eat some.
"Hey guys, you know what people say about Malasada", Hau said. "It's that they taste even better when shared with friends".
Bronze and Lillie couldn't help but smile at the cheesy saying. Bronze was pleasantly surprised to find out this was basically a tropical, jelly filled donut. "I got to say, these are pretty good", Bronze said.
"They're okay", Lillie said. Hau stopped biting his Malasada and have her a Luigi death stare. "It doesn't taste bad, it's just… I'm not a big fan of greasy food", she said nervously, hoping Hau wasn't about to kill her. Bronze gripped his stick, just in case Hau went a little wild.
"I'll eat it if you sit want it", Hau said. Bronze laughed a bit from this.
"You can eat the rest, I don't plan on eating it later", Lillie said.
"Your loss", Hau said.
The Pokemon really enjoyed the food. BIGJAW ate the whole thing in two bites. Luna and Pichu were still gnawing on theres. Tolerate was sharing his with Nebby.
Bronze thoroughly enjoyed his food. "Man, and I thought I was gonna lose weight here", Bronze said, sarcastically.
"Don't sell yourself short Bronze", Lillie said.
"Yeah, you big for a person", Hau said. "You just a sturdy guy". "RAWR! I'm Brine and I'm a sturdy man, I where cowboy hats and hit things with my stick", Hau said trying to act like he was big and tall. Bronze couldn't help but laugh at this. Bronze finished his food and so did Luna.
"I think I'll be going now, let's go guys", Bronze said as he returned Luna to her ball, put on his hat, and grabbed his stick. "Lillie you coming", Bronze asked.
"I think I'll let my food digest fully", she said. "I still have to pay", Lillie said.
"No you don't, I got your back before you sat down", Bronze said as he tipped his hat. BIGJAW got up and followed him out of the shop.
"He didn't have to spend money on me", Lillie said.
"You knew what the say. The fastest way to a girl's heart is Malasada", Hau said. "At Least it's the fastest way to MY heart", Hau said as he demolished another Malasada.
Back to the city
Bronze was ready to continue, he walked it the docks to see what was going on. Bronze saw a older guy facing two of the team skull grunt she fought before. "Yo, fool, you betta' hand ova' your Pokemon", the #imanedgytwleveuearold said.
"Oh my, how intimidating", the guy said in a playfully sarcastic tone.
"Oh dang dude, it's the cowboy from before", the other grunt said as he longed to Bronze walking towards them, hitting his stick against the ground as he took a step.
"Oh Lugia, it's you idiots again", Bronze said.
"Yo sheriff, you betta' butt out of dis", the grunt said
"Yeah, we may have bones with you but right now we tryin' to do some business here", the other grunt said
"What business, the inky business here will be you getting out of the city", the boy said.
"Oh yeah, you gonna stop us", the grunt said as he threw out a pokeball.
"Yeah, us", the boy said. "Hey, you mind helping me out", the boy asked Bronze.
"I'd rather beat the edginess out of them with my trusty stick but a pokemon battle will do just fine", Bronze said.
The two were in a double battle against a Rattata and a Drowzee. The boy Bronze jus timey threw out a smeargle and Bronze just sent out BIGJAW. The two battled side by side as they were owning the grunts. The boy was intrigued on how Bronze battled with his Totodile. Even though he seems to be a new trainer they battled like they've been battling for years. They beat the grunts and they threw money at them to get away. "Next time you show your faces you better be ready to catch these hands", Bronze yelled.
"I must say, even though you seem like a brute you battle very well", the boy said. "I'm Ilima, Captain of Melemelee Island", he said. "Oh, what's you're name", Ilima asked.
"I'm Bronze, non-official representative of Johto and this is my partner, BIGJAW", Bronze said. BIGJAW waved hello.
Ilima inspected BIGJAW and said, "I can tell by the look in his eyes that he is very fond of you, Bronze". "I hope you take my challenge", Llima said.
"What challenge", Bronze said.
"The Island challenge", Ilima said. "You go around each island and do trials on every island, the you fight the Kahuna of the Island". "In the only captain of Melemelee though", Ilima said.
"Okay then, I guess I'm taking on the challenge", Bronze said.
"Here's your amulet, it will signify that you are taking on the challenge", Ilima said as he pulled out a change amulet. Bronze took the he amulet and wrapped it around his staff.
"I like how you can handle yourself in a battle, so why not have another", he said as he sent out his Smeargle.
"Alright then, BIGJAW, let's show this guy what Johto brings to the table", Bronze said. BIGJAW bared his fangs for intimidation.
"Water Gun", Bronze said. BIGJAW let out a torrent of water and hit smeargle.
"Sketch", Ilima said. Smeargle then used water gun BIGJAW, hitting in right in the face. BIGJAW was shocked from how much it hurt.
"I forgot Smeargle can do that" Bronze said.
"Tackle", he said. Smeargle slammed into BIGJAW. "Ember", he commanded. Smeargle hit BIGJAW with fire from it's tail.
"Use Bite", Bronze said. BIGJAW opened wide and bit down hard on Smeargle's tail. It howled in pain. BIGJAW started shake it's head so he could disorient the Smeargle. He finished the normal type off by slamming it on the ground. The Smeargle fainted and Ilima returned it to it's pokeball.
"You did great, get a good rest", the normal type connoisseur said. "I must say, I'm impressed with you two", Ilima said. "Now it's time me to impress you", he said as he sent out a yungoos.
"Alright then, Luna let's do this", Bronze said as he sent out Luna. She looked ready for battle and the yungoos did too.
"Quick Attack", Bronze said, the Eevee charged in and hit the yungoos hard, but it held it's ground.
"Use Bide", Ilima said. The Yungoos held it's ground and started to store energy.
"Use Quick Attack again", Bronze commanded. Luna started to rain pain on the yungoos with multiple Quick Attacks, especially since Luna hit really hard. The yungoos was done charging and put that stored energy into one attack. It hit Luna hard and in the one attack Luna fainted.
"I guess we'll call this a draw", Ilima said.
"Man, you're no joke", Bronze said as he returned Luna to her ball.
"You're pretty good too", Ilima said. "Once again, I hope you take on my challenge", Ilima said as he walked off.
Bronze just had a bunch of knowledge dropped on him and finished a heated battle, so he just kept walking around the the city and found it his way to another route. Bronze walked through the entrance and found a bunch of grass and trainers, he took on trainers, battled Pokemon, and got cash. He kept walking only to find a Deli Bird blocking his path.
It tried to get this attention and lead him to a small snack with a bunch of berry plants around it. The skull grunts were once again harassing people for their Pokemon.
"Yo gramps, you gonna gives us these berries or naw", the grunt said.
"It better not be naw", the other grunt said.
"I'm fine with giving berries to pokemon but not to you theifs", the old man said.
"Alright idiots", Bronze said. "I said you'd better be ready to catch these hands", Bronze said as he dropped his stick and cracked his knuckle as. BIGJAW bared his fangs for intimidation. The grunts got scared as they saw him.
"Yo sheri, why can't ya just leaves us alone", the grunt said.
"Let's get out for here, he's not strong, he's straight dangerous", the other grunt said. The two edgy team rocket clones ran off.
"You okay sir", Bronze asked.
"Yes, and thank you for chasing off those Team Numskulls", the old man said. "I'm glad to see them squirm, are you up for being a guard", he asked jokingly.
"No, but thing flattered", Bronze said. "Alola", he said as he walked off.
"What a good kid", the old man said to himself as he walked into his house.
Bronze kept waking and found s Pokemon center. Bronze was about to go in when he saw Hau come out. "Alola Hau said.
"You know Bronze, I was wondering who was going to start their trial first", Hau said. "I think we should let a battle decide", Hau said.
"I couldn't agree more", Bronze said.
The two stood across from each other and locked eyes.
"Rowlet"
"BIGJAW"
The trainer yelled as they sent out their starters. "Razor Leaf", Hau yelled. Rowlett let out a wave of Leaves. BIGJAW tried it dodge but go hit by a few. He got up though and was ready to continue.
"Metal Claw", Bronze said. BIGJAW's claws friend as hard as steel. He swiped and swiped but Rowlett was way too fast. Rowlett used tackle on BIGJAW and knocked him back. Bronze knew Rowlett was fast and was thinking how he could slow him down. "Scary Face".
BIGJAW a intimidating face, he looked as scary as if you'd see a crocodile in real life. Rowlett got scared, which left him vulnerable. BIGJAW hit him with a water gun to knock him out of the air. "Now use Bite". BIGJAW opened wide and bit down on Rowletts wing. It screamed in pain.
"Knock him off with Peck", Hau said. Rowlett started pecking BIGJAW in the head.
"Water Gun", Bronze said. The point bank
torrent of water hit a lot harder then the previous water gun. "Finish this with a Metal Claw", Bronze said. BIGJAW slashed at the owl and it fell to the ground.
"Man, a battle with you is always a rush", Hau said.
"Same", Bronze said.
"So, you gonna start your trial now or no", Hau said.
"I'm gonna catch another pokemon before I start", Bronze said. "But, you can't go till I finish", Bronze said.
"Whatever you say, I'll just be getting stronger for Llima's trial", Hau said.
Some time later…
Bronze had his eye on a Rockruff for a good while, he always like Lycanroc and went to Kukui for help. He was happy to help him but told him
He needed a Tauros to get through a boulder blocking the entrance. Kukui was also happy to hear that Bronze was taking on the Island challenge.
Bronze asked his dad to use his Tauros to break down the Boulder. His dad was on top of the bull Pokemon, he had a rope in the Tauros' mouth and kept a tight grip. He also put a tight grip on his cowboy hat. "You may want it take cover, Bronze", his dad said. The Tauros charged and broke down the boulder.
Bronze looked up from his cover only to find that the boulder was reduced to rubble. "Thanks", Bronze said.
Kukui ran out of his lab and said, "I heard the sounds of a powerful love and came out as quickly as I could". "Oh, it's only my uncle", Kukui said.
"Hey Kukui, how are you", Bronze's dad said.
"I'm good", Kukui said. "Man, you really know your way around a Tauros, do you mind if I study it's moves", he asked.
"Sure thing", Bronze's dad said. "Good luck on finding your Pokemon, Bronze".
Bronze and BIGJAW walked into the cave and it was really humid. The two were sweating and finally found another outlet in the cave. It was a big open hill. Bronze and BIGJAW kept walking around, in search for the puppy Pokemon. After a good while of searching they saw a Rockruff barking to the moon on a ledge.
It was already night, so Bronze knew who to send out. "Let's do this Luna", Bronze said as he threw out his Eevee. Luna was pleasantly surprised to see the moon was out and basked in the moonlight like how a reptile basks in the sun. The Rockruff noticed Luna and ran down. The Rockruff started to look at Luna and seemed really like her.
Bronze had found out that Luna learned a new move that replaced Sand Attack. "Luna, use Attract", Bronze said. He assumed that the Rockruff was a male. But when the move was used the Rockruff was not affected, because it already fell in love with Luna when it laid eyes on her. Bronze had a premier ball he got a while ago and threw it at the Rockruff. It took in the puppy with energy and jiggled three times. Bronze picked up the pokeball.
"I'll call you, White Fang", Bronze said. He named it after a book he read about a Lycanroc (The Pokemon version of the book by Jack London). Bronze unleashed the Rockruff, now named White Fang, and said, "We got a lot of training to do for the trial", Bronze said.
Insert training montage here…
The pokemon were tired, hungry, and wanted nothing more than to fall down and sleep. Bronze was the same, after all, he didn't want to be a asshole and watch his pokemon work their asses off. Bronze decided to run with his pokemon around, he felt like he was gonna die when he was. He lifted up heavy objects, which was something that he was good at. Bronze also had to help his pokemon in battle when they were too tired to fight. He legit ran in and whacked a wild pokemon with his staff or scared it off. Bronze returned all his pokemon to their balls, even BIGJAW. "I hope I don't run into anything", Bronze said. All the Mexican knew was that he was gonna keep a firm grip on his staff.
The next day…
Bronze and his pokemon were refreshed now and ready for anything. Bronze stared at the entrance of the cave, he didn't know what to expect, from what he heard, an adventure inother regions are all similar but not like this. He didn't know if he was going to battle a trainer or do some quest or what. All Bronze knew was that he did not need to mess up right now, he needed to be on his A game. "You ready, BIGJAW', Bronze asked. BIGJAW responded with a nod and a hiss. "Alright then, here we go", Bronze said as the two went into the cave.
Well, here ya go. So, just to tell you guys, the story is based off my adventure so evolutions, and shit are gonna be based off when I got them. Of course there will be changes in the ways Bronze obtains and catches pokemon but they will most be likely be based off my team from my Sun playthrough. Hope you guys enjoyed and I'll see you guys next time, adios.
