Chapter 3: Orange Flame

Sir Drago (in plant form) was on fire, and beside him stood two... Business men?

The two men wore suits with a black tie and white shirt. The only reason I hesitated to call them business men was the orange. Orange suit jackets, orange trousers, orange shades (I'm pretty sure it was impossible to see through them) and orange hair. A small part of both of the men's hair was stylised like fire.

They looked extremely stupid.

"EVERYONE LISTEN," one of the orange dudes shouted, though an orange megaphone, "BRING OUT EVERY PENNY OR THE TOWN GOES UP IN FLAMES."

"WE AS A GROUP DON'T THREATEN WITH GUNS; WE THREATEN WITH FIRE."

Tierno and Trevor behind me were frozen in place, while Shauna was no where to be seen.

I saw moments later that she had run into her dads shop to get her dad. The bald man in pink appeared moments later.

His Lickitung and a Vanilluxe followed after him; both looked ready for battle.

As no one responded to the orange suits, and they frowning at a crowd gathering around them.

"HAVE IT THAT WAY THEN!"

From the back of there belts (orange by the way) the two brought out two poke balls each. Throwing them in the air released four Pokemon; a houndour, a vulpix and two pokemon I hadn't seen before. One was a small brown pokemon, with beach ears and paws and a orange Mohawk thing. It reminded my a little of a Shinx. The other was around the same size, and was yellow. It had orange fur around its ears.

"FENNEKING, HOUNDOUR, GO!" One of the suit shouted.

The yellow fox and the Houndour were commanded by the first guy.

"LITLEO, VULPIX. BURN 'EM."

The brown shinx must be the litleo. I was sure Trevor had been 'Pokedexing' the Pokemon a moment ago. Didn't he say something about it loving to battle.

I didn't have time to think any more because coming straight for us was the Litleo.

"Ahh!"

was what I would have probably said if the litleo did attack me; but at the last moment the Pokemon's pounce was intercepted by Louis the Lickitung.

Litleo was sent flying back. Apparently to the side of me Jeremy's Vanilluxe was dealing with the Vulpix which was also coming straight for us.

"I may not like you kid, but I don't want you as charcoal on your first day in town," said Shauna's dad Jeremy with a smile. He then put on a more serious face and turned his attention to the battle.

"Lickitung, slam that litleo. Vanilluxe, Icicle Spear that vulpix. Better get back kids."

I didn't have time at that moment to watch the battle unfold. With Tierno, Trevor and Shauna, I jumped over the bench behind me and hid behind the bushes there. Through the leaves I could see all other citizens had left the square but were still sticking around to watch. Along with Shauna's father, a teenage kid probably a few years older than me, had a Scizor and another Pokemon I had yet to learn, out in battle against the other suits Fennekin and Houndour.

"What Pokemon is that?" I asked the Trevor, the human pokedex, who was conveniently crouched beside me.

"That's a talonflame."

I looked at the bird pokemon, and it 'Flame Chraged' itself into the Houndour.

"It is capable of reaching speeds of up to 310 mph when diving for its prey. Talonflame can attack its foes with devastating-"

I kind of zoned out as Trevor went on about the talonflame. All I needed to know about it was that it looked cool.

Before long, the suite Pokemon were down.

"LOOKS LIKE ITS TIME FOR THE BIG GUNS!"

The orange dude who shouted that through another poke all into the air. From it sprung a Charizard.

That was a Pokemon I knew a lot about. Charizard was basically the mascot for the Kanto region, because they couldn't be found anywhere else. They were bad ass giant dragons who convenient for the suits, were orange.

"MY CHARIZARD HAS THE POWER TO TEAR THE TOWN APART."

"AND MATCHES OUR OUTFITS PERFECTLY."

Thea beast was far larger than other charizard I had seen, standing far above the now completely crisp hedge statue of Sir Drago.

Charizard easily smashed Jeremy's Pokemon against the walls of nearby buildings. The teenager's scizor was next, as it fell foe to the charizard's tail.

Talonflame made it away, and flew up into the sky. The charizard's followed.

"Looks like a sky battles brewing," said Tierno, who I didn't even see sitting next to me.

"What's a sky battle?"

It was only after I asked did I feel like an idiot.

"A battle that takes place on the sky."

During this conversation though I missed the whole 'sky battle.' Moments after, the talonflame was unconscious on the ground while the charizard's flowed gently down behind him.

"NOW THAT YOUR DONE WITH YOUR RESISTANCE, GIVE UP YOUR POKEMON, YOUR MONEY AND EVERYTHING ELSE!"

"Ha, ha, ha!"

The new voice came from someone who, due to the bushes, I couldn't see. This guy had deep burly voice, and his laugh sounded somehow heroic.

"It's Drago," cheered Shauna. She was crouched down next to Trevor in our bush hideout. She stood form our hiding place to get a better view. I figured it must have been safe, so I joined her.

"Wait; wasn't Sir Drago the hedge that caught on fire?"

Shauna smiled "that was a hedge of the old Sir Drago! Duh! This Sir Drago is his great great grandson."

This guy was dressed on full knight attire. He had a chest plate, a helmet and what ever you call those arm thingys. I was beginning to thing this guy was as crazy as the pyromaniacs.

"That guy knows its the middle of summer right?"

Shauna just shrugged her shoulders.

I turned my attention back to knight. He had brought out two poke balls.

"Go Noivern, Honedge."

Wait, did he just say honedge? As in the honedge that sucks the life out of you.

The two Pokemon he called appeared moments later. One was a large zubat/dragon thing with stereo speakers for ears and the other was allowing sword. Honedge.

Even though the zubat/dragon thing was bigger than the knight, it came nowhere near to the size of charizard.

"Noivern fly up around it," commanded the knight. Honedge, stay back as use a swords dance."

The Pokemon did as instructed. The honedge hovered behind Sir Drago, and started to gather energy while the noivern flew up behind the charizard at an impressive speed.

"CHARIZARD: SCORCH THAT OVERGROWN ZUBAT!"

"Noivern, Dragon Pulse!"

Charizard, from the ground, sent a fury of flames toward the noivern. The bat pokemon responded by sending a sonic wave of purple energy to the lizard.

The attacks collision left the battle field all smoky. However, noivern's movement in the air quickly cleared the dust. Charizard was still standing, and was still flamethrowering the noivern, who only just missed each attack.

The bat pokemon was extremely fast.

"Honedge now, Shadow Claw!"

The ghost sword removed its sheath and quickly floated over to the orange giant, repeatedly slashed itself against the charizard, and seemed to be doing some serious damage.

It only took a second though for charizard to fight back. With immense power he trashed the sword to the side and focused back on noivern who was taking a break atop Dratini mansion.

"Everyone get back!" called Sir Drago, waving his hand. "This could be dangerous!"

Shauna and the others beside me were moved back and ran into a nearby shop. I joined them. Inside the shop there were a few more people, but we could still see through the window.

"Noivern, Boom Burst!"

The dragon flew up into the air, before screeching an incredibly loud sound wave. In the air the vibrations coming from the bat could be seen, and they hit charizard dead on.

That was not all the sound waves did. The windows of cards and shops around the square smashed within seconds. Luckilynournshop was to far away for the sound waves to hit, but I saw the windows of Lickitung's Lovilies crack in.

Everyone, including the charizard, had there hands over there ears. Apparently the sound was to much for the charizard to handle however, as he lay unconscious on the park ground.

"I THINK WE SHOULD MAKE A GET AWAY!"

"HOW, THE CHARIZARD WAS OUR GETAWAY!"

Just them three police motorbikes rolled into town, and three officers dismounted from them.

We left the shop now that it was safe.

"Can I please see your fire pokemon licence?" I heard one police officer ask. I assume he was joking.

The orange suits were taken away by the police and there orange monster was took with them.


Probably a few mistakes in there, and that will be fixed when I fix my laptop. Please review!

every time I look at images of Team Flare they are either orange or red. If you think there red, replace every 'orange' with 'red'. See ya!
