"Maybe if we go to the Boutique Couture it'll make you feel better," Alexis suggested as she and Bolt walked outside of a sulking Tyson.
"Putting on clothes makes girls happy," Bolt started as Alexis began to give him, 'the look'. "Guys to more, mature things than jump up and down for dresses and shoes and-"Bolt couldn't even finish his thought after Alexis pounded him with her fist, leaving him broken on the sidewalk.
Tyson not once made a sound or smile after what Alexis did to Bolt. Bolt jumped up and caught up with the duo as they entered the fancy store. Alexis pulled out a silver shirt underneath a half zipped up blue jacket. Also, black jeans with silver shoes along with a backpack is blue. Finally, a blue and silver hat.
"I call this, 'The Kalos Champion's Garment'!" Alexis shouted as she gave the clothes for Tyson to try on. He shrugged them off and turned his back.
"Yeah, I think this is the best gift I've gotten!" a man exclaimed before placing his hand on a Charizard's head and smiling. Before he could hop onto his lizard's back, the man turned to see a group of three kids walking his way.
"Why won't you put on the clothes? Do you like them?" Alexis asked as she began to get depressed that her friend wouldn't even utter a breath.
"If he were a clown, he would definitely put it on," Bolt mocked before cracking up at his own joke, which was so funny the man and his Charizard chuckled.
After seeing Tyson not laugh, the blonde haired boy looked at him worriedly. "Come on, Tyson, you have to get over it at some point. It's not like it's the end of the world, or anything."
"Why do you think that kid's so sad?" Charizard asked his trainer, who shrugged in response and decided to move closer so he could hear the conversation more clearly.
"I know it's not, Bolt, but if I can't beat Ryan, I might as well just quit right now. Losing to him and Luke shows just how bad a trainer I really am," Tyson muttered dejectedly before walking away from his friends. The man watched with a smirk as Tyson, who seemed to be sixteen, walked straight at him, though he couldn't see because he was staring at the ground. Taking the opportunity being handed to him, the man began to walk forward before intentionally bumping into Tyson, nearly knocking the teenager over.
"Hey, watch where-" Tyson stopped his shouting when he looked up and saw the man extending a hand. The teen stared in shock before accepting the adult's assistance, and he grinned sheepishly while Charizard walked over to Owen's side. "You're... you're Owen Plateau!" Tyson exclaimed, his depression melting away instantly. Owen nodded in response while chuckling at Tyson's antics, and he waited for the rookie to calm down. "I'm Tyson Pernell!"
"Nice to meet you, Tyson," Owen said before shaking the younger boy's hand. "I couldn't help but overhear your friends trying to cheer you up, so I figured I'd come over and check it out."
"Oh, it's nothing really," Tyson fibbed as he looked away from Owen, who motioned for Tyson's friends to come over. They did, and Tyson was shocked to see them standing by his side.
"Oh my god! I'm Alexis Miller, and I'm such a huge fan of you and your wife!" Alexis shrieked as she shook Owen's hand, making the Kalos Champion laugh before he shook Bolt's hand.
"My name's Bolt Wilson. Nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you both. I was just talking to Tyson, and I heard him talking about losing to someone, or something along those lines. That's why he was so sad, right?" the 31 year old inquired, making both Alexis and Bolt nod. Owen rubbed his chin in response before looking into Tyson's eyes, unnerving the teenager. "You said you wanted to quit training because you lost, right?"
"...Yeah," Tyson answered reluctantly as he hung his head. A hand fell on his shoulder, and he looked up to see Owen smiling at him while flashing a thumbs up.
"I know just how to rekindle that battling spirit!" Owen started as a smile crept on his face. "We're going to battle!" Owen said as Tyson looked ecstatic.
"Are you serious?" Tyson asked, trying to hold his excitement. Owen nodded his head as the two slid 10 steps back.
"You two are not going to battle in my store!" the manager yelled as the 4 trainers walked out.
"Jerk, it's not every day you get to be in the presence of a champion," Bolt pouted as Owen and Charizard smirked at the angered teen's response.
After the 5 walked out the building, Owen and Tyson stepped exactly 10 steps from each other.
"I want you to give me everything you've got!" Owen exclaimed, trying to pump his opponent up.
"Yeah!" was the only thing Tyson could say since his hero was about to have a battle with him.
"I'll referee!" Bolt volunteered as he ran in the middle of the two. Alexis stood on the sidelines and cupped her hands in one another.
"This will be a battle between Tyson and Owen! The battle will be over when all Pokemon on one side is unable to continue. Throw out your first Pokemon!"
"Let's start!" Owen demanded as he threw a Poke Ball into the sky. A small green snake landed on the field and put her hands on her hips.
Snivy, the Grass Snake Pokemon. Being exposed to sunlight makes its movements swifter. It uses vines more adeptly than its hands.
"Fletchling, let's fly!" Tyson's tiny bird flew out from his capsule, chirping in response. "Aerial Ace!" Fletchling flew up and descend down, tucking his wings to build power.
"Grass Pledge," Owen said calmly as Snivy's stomach glowed green and she smashed her fist on the ground. Multiple pillars of green light appeared from the ground. Fletchling easily maneuvered the Grass-Type move. The shiny bird smashed into the Grass Snake, but she wasn't very fazed by the attack.
"Use Vine Whip to hit 'em and throw 'em!" Owen countered as his Unova Starter pushed her green vines and smacked Fletchling down. Then, she lifted the Tiny Robin Pokemon and tossed him into the sky.
"Double Team and then attack!" Fletchling created numerous copies of itself and then charged at Snivy.
"A cheap tactic like that won't work! Use Leaf Tornado!" the Kalos Champion shouted as Snivy twirled in a circle, sticking her tail up. A vortex of green leaves and winds was formed as she chucked it at the incoming clones. One by one, shiny Fletchling clones disappeared upon contact by the powerful grass move.
"Razor Wind now!" one Fletchling stopped and began swinging his wings, creating tiny razor shaped winds. Snivy, who was unaware by the sudden move, was blasted by the sharp winds. "Peck!" Fletchling's beak glowed with power and flew down towards Snivy.
"Leaf Blade!" Snivy jumped from the ground and dodged the incoming bird. Her tail grew larger and glowed green as she slammed Fletchling into the ground. The tiny bird chirped softly and surprisingly, he cracked a smile as he closed his eyes.
"Fletchling is unable to battle, the victor is Snivy!"
Tyson's face frowned as he returned his shiny bird back to his spherical device. Owen's Snivy held her head high as her trainer stood there, smiling. This was everything Tyson wanted, a chance against his idol. The Kalos Champion is standing right in front of him, waiting for his next move.
This is my chance, Tyson thought as he clenched his fist. I wanted to battle the champion and now he's right in front of me! Even if I can't win, I'm going to give him a battle he won't forget!
"Froakie, game time!" The Bubble Frog gracefully landed on the field. He eyed Snivy and quickly went into a ninja stance.
"This will be a battle between Froakie and Snivy. Begin!"
"Snivy, Leaf Tornado!" Snivy began to spin once more, creating a tornado of grass on the tip. Snivy jumped and threw it towards Froakie.
"Dodge and use Double Team!" Froakie duplicated himself and all of them jumped out the way. "Now throw your Frubbles!" the clones swung their white bubbles all over the battlefield. Some melted onto Snivy as she attempted to get them off.
"Snivy, break free with Vine Whip!" Snivy extend some of her vines and began smacking the bubbles. Eventually, some of the bubbles made Snivy's vines get stuck.
"I know how to get Snivy out," Tyson said proudly as Owen took him up on his offer.
"And what way is that?" Owen asked, creating a smirk from his opponent.
"This! Use Cut!" Froakie's fist glowed white as he jumped in the air. Froakie's fist extend sharply as he descended to Snivy. Froakie slashed Snivy as she rolled backwards. "Give Owen what he wants and keep it going!" Froakie nodded his head and continued to cut Snivy. The Frubbles began to rip off as Froakie back-flipped to give the inured Grass Snake some space.
I didn't think he was going to get Snivy out like that, Owen though, biting his lip. Tyson is a really skilled trainer, maybe he is on…
"What are you waiting for? Do you quit?" Tyson asked, which snapped Owen out of his thoughts.
"Not a chance," he replied as he looked at Snivy and nodded his head. Snivy returned the nod and glared at Froakie. "Leaf Blade and don't stop!" Snivy's tail shinned light green and extended. Snivy flipped in the air 2 times before slamming her tail.
"Fight her off with Cut!" Froakie's fist extended to a sharp point and took of Snivy's Leaf Blade. After every clash, Snivy keep charging at Froakie. The water type regained his focus and was able to throw Snivy off him.
"Stop and use Grass Pledge!" Froakie couldn't react fast enough as the blast of green energy swallowed him whole. Froakie fell to his knees as he looked at his opponent. Snivy tilted her head up, signaling her wanting Froakie to stand once more. Froakie looked back at his trainer and jumped right up, holding one arm with his other.
"Froakie," Tyson spat out as he looked at his starter in shock. He was battling for him, just like Fletchling did.
"If Froakie can still go, doesn't that mean so can you?" Owen asked as Tyson looked in shock. He shook his head and pushed his hand forward.
"I'll do it! Froakie, Double Team!" Froakie cloned himself once more and they ran round in a circle, which Sinivy was in the middle of. The Froakies began to run faster as it looked like a blur was trapping the Grass Snake. "Now throw your Frubbles!" Snivy was smashed by white bubbles as she tried to find a source of the stick mess. Unfortunately, Snivy couldn't track Froakie and was covered in Frubbles.
"Snivy, break out!" Owen cried as Snivy just became a statue of Frubble. The Froakies stopped and walked closer to Snivy.
"Half of you use Bubble and the rest use Cut!" Tyson shouted as half of the Froakies did some symbols and spat out multiple blue bubbles. Next, the rest dashed towards Snivy with their shinning fist. Snivy was thrown back and forth by the strength of Froakies Cut. As Snivy fell down, the other half bombarded the Grass Snake with more bubbles.
"No more playing! Leaf Tornado!" Snivy spun in circles as the frubbles stuck right to the ground. Snivy's tail was covered in a twister of grass and swung it at the Froakies. The tornado was so strong, it pulled in all the Froakies. One by one, they all was swallowed, a blast of white light caused the moved to disintegrate as the real Froakie fell on the field. Froakie had a smile drawn on his face with eyes swirled all the way.
"Froakie is unable to battle, the victor is Snivy!"
"Great job buddy," Tyson said as his starter was returned to his capsule. "Chimchar, ignite the fight!" his fire type jumped around the field and looked at Snivy. Chimchar quickly turned his head away and snickered. Snivy got made and put her head up.
"This is a battle between Chimchar and Snivy. Begin!"
"Vine Whip!" Snivy's vines extended from her neck and flew towards Chimchar.
"Flame Wheel!" Chimchar engulfed himself in flames and spun in a wheel. Chimchar rammed Snivy's vines and her as he rolled in a wheel. Snivy regained her composure and glared at Chimchar.
"Leech Seed to hold him in place and then use Tackle!" Snivy spat out small green seeds around Chimchar. The seeds became vines and held Chimchar in place, draining his energy. Snivy then flew towards Chimchar and smashed into him. Chimchar, still tangled in the vines, stayed in place and managed to crack a smile.
"Chimchar, Flamethrower!" Chimchar breathed in and exhaled a surge of red and yellow flames at Snivy. Snivy was swallowed in the flames and held her place.
"Hang on and ram out of there with Leaf Blade!" Owen exclaimed as Snivy ran through the Flamethrower and jumped in the air. Her tail glowed a light green and grew longer as she prepared to slash Chimchar. Tyson and Chimchar grinned, which confused Owen.
"Lean back!" was all Tyson said as Chimchar leaned back while in the vines. Snivy slammed her tail as she cut the vines off Chimchar. Chimchar smirked and pushed Snivy. "Flame Wheel to end this!" Chimchar cartwheeled into a wheel of fire and smacked Snviy. Chimchar stopped to see the Grass Snake stand in front of him, left without energy. Chimchar blew a small breath of air and Snivy fell on her knees.
"Come back Snivy," Owen said as he picked up the injured as he picked up his Unova Starter and gave her to Charizard to hold.
He really is strong, Owen thought as he cracked a smile. Charizard began walking up as he put his hand in front of him.
"I got just the Pokemon! Infernape, show him how strong you are!" Owen threw his Poke Ball into the air as a large orange and white furred monkey landed on the ground. He had yellow pads on his chest, hands, legs, and feet along with a hair full of fire.
Infernape, the Flame Pokemon. It tosses its enemies around with agility. It uses all its limbs to fight in its own unique style.
"Aw man, pre-evolved vs. fully evolved," Tyson said to himself as he look at Chimchar. The Chimp Pokemon eyed Infernape and began to snicker once more.
"This will be a battle between Chimchar and Infernape! Begin!"
"Fury Swipes!" Chimchar jumped and started scratching Infernape. Chimchar attempted to damage the fully evolved Pokemon on his chest. The Flame Pokemon looked at his pre-evolution and smiled.
"Focus Blast," Owen instructed as Infernape created a large blue orb and dropped it on Chimchar. The Chimp Pokemon struggled to get up as Inferanpe turned his head in confusion.
"Don't give up and use Scratch!" Chimchar wiped his face and slashed Infernape on his face, making him move an inch. Chimchar's claws left a huge mark across the Flame Pokemon's face. Infernape touch the side Chimchar cut and growled.
"You've awoken the beast," Owen said as he had a smile on his face. "Close Combat!" Infernape kicked Chimchar in the air and began rapidly punching Chimchar which made him fly into Tyson. Tyson fell back a few inches as Alexis ran up to him.
"Are you okay?" she asked as Tyson looked at his fainted Pokemon.
"I'm great, but Chimchar's the one who you need to check on," Tyson said as he returned the Chimp to his capsule. He took Alexis' hand and jumped straight up. He dusted himself off and ran back to his side.
"Riolu, it's all on you!" Tyson cried as his strongest landed gracefully on the ground. He made a bow and went into a karate stance.
"This will be a battle between Riolu and Infernape! Begin!"
"Flamethrower!" Owen shouted as Infernape reared back before he spat out a wave of fire towards Riolu. Riolu stood there, waiting for a command.
"Blaze Kick!" Riolu jumped up and pushed out one of his feet, which was engulfed in flames as the Flamethrower added on to the power. Riolu kicked Infernape dead on the face and pushed him down.
"Get up and use Flame Wheel!" Infernape put himself in flames and rolled like a wheel to hit Riolu. The Aura Pokemon was sent flying, but skidded back on the ground.
"Quick Attack with Force Palm!" Riolu dashed towards Infernape as he stuck his right palm out. Riolu eventually smacked the Flame Pokemon and threw him back. Infernape shook his head and started pounding his chest.
"Use Close Combat!"
Tyson, help me out! Riolu's voice echoed in his head as Tyson shook his head no.
"I'm not letting a repeat happen again! Use Counter!" Riolu glowed red and let Infernape bombard him with a fury of fits and feet. Riolu then punched Infernape square in the face as he flipped back.
"Show me what you got Tyson cause we're ending this!" Owen screamed as Infernape roared.
"You got, Riolu and I are ready!" Tyson answered back as Riolu stopped grinding his teeth and nodded.
"Focus Blast!" Infernape gathered energy and stored it into a large blue sphere.
"Show 'em Aura Sphere!" Riolu charged a larger blue orb than normal in between his palms.
"FIRE!" both trainers shouted as the fighting-types whipped their spheres at each other. Both fought for dominance as the Focus Blast went through Aura Sphere and hit Riolu, causing an explosion. Riolu dropped to the ground and didn't move, signaling his defeat.
"Riolu is unable to battle, the winner is Infernape! That means Owen is victorious!"
Tyson returned the Aura Pokemon to his capsule to see Owen pet Infernape before returning him as well.
"How do you feel?" Owen asked Tyson, looking into his eyes.
"Like I want to battle again!" he shouted back as Alexis and Bolt ran up to hug him.
"Great, now I was afraid we wouldn't get our rematch if you quit," Owen joked as Tyson's face made the biggest smile.
"One more thing," he started as he ran up to Alexis, grabbing the clothes. "I'm going to try these clothes on."
Alexis' face beamed with joy as she hugged Tyson once more.
"Why don't you two pick out some clothes too?" Owen asked, pulling out his wallet. "You could really use the new wardrobe Bolt, or should I say, 'The Blue and Yellow Clown'?"
Alexis, Tyson, and Charizard laughed at Owen's joke as Bolt just got red.
XXX
Walking out of the Boutique Couture, the 16 year olds had new clothes.
Tyson wore a silver shirt underneath a half zipped up blue jacket and Black jeans with silver boots. His backpack is blue with his hat silver and blue. Tyson also wore a necklace with a small green gem in it.
Alexis wore a yellow shirt with a light blue skirt below the knees. Also, high black socks with pink shoes and carried a pink backpack.
Finally, Bolt wore a yellow shirt with a blue jean jacket. In addition, he had blue pants with yellow shoes and a yellow backpack. Bolt had a necklace with a lightning bolt around his neck.
"Nice clothes," Charizard complemented as the three teens bowed.
"I'm off now, I have to get this present to my wife, and it's our anniversary today," Owen said, hoping on Charizard and holding up a big bag. "I hope I see all of you real soon again." Charizard flapped his powerful wings and took off into the sky.
"Let's go guys! I need to train for the Parfum Palace Tournament!" Tyson said, dragging his friends.
"Is he back?" Alexis asked trying to keep up with Tyson's pace.
"Oh yeah!" Bolt screamed as he and his two friends left Lumiose City.
