"A Sinnoh Destiny" Chapter 3: Stunky Summers

Previously:

"I was wondering if I can join you on your journey." The girl said, looking at Alexis with her piercing cerulean blue eyes, while huffing and puffing. "After all, I'm on a mission to become one of Sinnoh's greatest trainers!" Alexis didn't say yes or nod, so after a while, June said, "And besides, it's better to travel with people you know on your journey."

"Then, come on, what are you waiting for?" Alexis replied, running forward. "We've got a destiny to fulfill!"

"Piplup! Use Pound on Stunky!" Alexis commanded the Water Pokemon. Piplup slammed its arm across the face of June's Stunky. It was a sunny day outside, and the two of them had decided to have a battle in the middle of Route 202, on their way to Jubilife City.

"Stunky! Poison Gas!" June screamed to her Pokemon, who released a purple gas that covered Piplup.

"Use Bubble on the ground and launch yourself in the air!" the brunette told Piplup, who shot out a barrage of bubbles on the ground, sending it above Stunky's Poison Gas. June and her Pokemon returned stunned glances. "Now, use Bubble on Stunky!" The Water penguin did as it was told. It sent out bubbles from its beak, which headed straight towards the purple Skunk Pokemon.

"Dodge!" June called out, but it was already too late. Stunky took a direct hit from the Bubble attack as Piplup ran towards it, sending the Pokemon into the air with a powerful Pound. Stunky fainted, its eyes round with spirals.

"Return, Stunky," the blond girl called, and the purple Pokemon entered it's Pokeball to get a rightful rest. "You did good." She said,

"You too, Piplup." Alexis said, as the Penguin Pokemon was covered in a red beam of light, returning to its Pokeball.

"I never expected Piplup to launch itself up into the air with the Bubble attack," June said as she walked up to Alexis and shook her hand.

"Yeah, I just came up with it," the brunette replied, winking. "I can't wait 'til I get to Oreburgh and cream Roark. But first, we've got to go to Jubilife."

"Whew! We're finally here," June stated, wiping the sweat from her forehead. She took a look around the city, and noticed a sign that read: "Trainers' School of Jubilife City! Come on in and expand your horizons!"

"What's up?" Alexis asked, and then saw the sign. "A Trainer School? Why don't we go in?" Without waiting for June's reply, she started to walk toward the building. With a sigh, June followed her.

Inside the building, there were several people, along with a blackboard full of status conditions. But the one thing that caught Alexis' eye was a girl about her age, with straight jet black hair with purple highlights that curled over her ears. She wore a dark purple shirt, with peach-colored writing on it. Her hair, eyes, and shirt gave the brunette the familiar image of a Stunky. She was reading the information on the blackboard, scribbling down notes on her Poketch. When she was done, she whipped around, ready to leave. When she saw Alexis though, she stopped.

"Well, Lexy, long time no see," the purple and black haired girl said, smiling at her in an unnerving way. She saw the Pokeballs that were hanging from the brunette's belt. "So, I see you've started your journey too?"

"Who is she?" June started to whisper to Alexis, but stopped when she saw a fire flare in the depths of her friend's eyes. She stared at the girl in front of her with extreme hatred.

"I'm fine, Stunky," Alexis replied calmly, smiling when she saw the girl's face flare a bright red from the remark.

"I TOLD YOU ONCE, I TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES!! STOP CALLING ME STUNKY!!!" she replied, her purple eyes flaring. Then she calmed down, shaking her head slowly. "Tisk, tisk, tisk. Don't you remember your own cousin's name, Lexy?"

"Of course I do, Stunky. It's just that Luna doesn't fit you- or your unnatural hair color-which, may I remind you, is black with purple highlights. Or would you rather me call you Raisin?" Alexis stated, referring to her cousin's middle name. "It's bad enough that I'm related to a purple haired snob."

Luna couldn't take it anymore. "It's bad enough I'm related to you! "Kricketot! Come on out!" A Pokemon that looked like a small cricket came out of the Pokeball.

"A battle? Here? Are you insane?" Alexis called out, looking around at the school. Kids stared at her and Luna, waiting for a battle.

"Are you chicken?" Luna countered.

Alexis' blue-green eyes flared a hazel-gray. "Chimchar! Battle on!" The trainer flung a Pokeball over her head, and Chimchar burst out of it, glaring at the Bug Pokemon in front of it with hatred. "Ember!"

The Fire monkey charged toward the Pokemon, leaping over June's head (she was in the way) to get in front of Kricketot. It shot bright red flames toward the Bug type as it dodged the attack.

"Bide!" Luna called to the Cricket Pokemon, who glowed a bright red, ready to take on any attack and return the favor, at full force. Of course, Alexis didn't know this, her being a rookie trainer.

"Chimchar, keep on using Ember on Kricketot!" Chimchar shot bright red flames toward Kricketot, while the Bug Pokemon just stood there, taking in the attacks. Suddenly, Kricketot glowed a brighter red. It released the energy it took in from Chimchar's barrage of Ember and launched it back at the unsuspecting Fire Pokemon.

"Chimchar! No!" Alexis cried out, when Chimchar smashed into the wall of the Trainer's School.

The professor shook his head in misery when he calculated how much it would cost to repair the wall, which know had a big dent in it the size of Chimchar's body, which was about 1' 7''.

"Chimchar! Are you okay, buddy?" Alexis asked it, as she picked him up from where he fell after smashing into the wall.

Luna laughed at Alexis, and then swung her rucksack over her arm. She threw a map of the Sinnoh region to Alexis as the brunette caught it. "See you later, cousin! I'll probably have my 1st badge by then!" Luna said, and then headed out of the doors of the Trainers' School, her Stunky colored hair streaking behind her.

A/N: So, what'd you think? Since this Chapter had 2 battles, and I'm not the best battle writer, this Chapter sucked. But don't worry- it'll get better in Chapter 4. I can promise you that much. Well, read and review, as always.

P.S. The chapter's called Stunky Summers because Alexis meets her cousin, Luna, who shares Alexis' last name. It's actually supposed to be called Luna Summers, the name of Alexis' cousin. (When Alexis & Luna were little, the people that knew them always compared them with each other, and they were worst enemies ever since they knew about Pokemon. Luna is VERY competitive, and loud.)
