A/N: Well here is Chapter 4, and now Pokemon shall speak, either through telepathy, (thx to Parth Makeo for the idea of pokemon telepathy) or pokemon already knowing human language like Meowth from Team Rocket. O and to Liza, yes the Petal is from the Time flower from 'Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.' O and sorry for about late adding chapter, so much stuff to do lately, and I'm thinking of next story. And on with the story.
Chapter 4: An odd appearance
Morning 8:43 AM
Now that Caroline knows a little bit of the past, she now believes that there is an evil truly out there, but one question still worries her, 'which pokemon have the sealed souls?'
Caroline and Stephanie were heading back to the battle lobby to meet up with Matt and Raphael. And lucky for them, the Staff had brought in enough breakfast for everyone in the lobby.
"Hey Caroline, Stephanie over here," Matt called from their area about to stuff his face with a pancake.
"Wow, breakfast smells good," Stephanie took a whiff and grabbed a fork and knife.
"Hehe, anyways," Caroline took a seat and started in a low voice, "you guys I have some bad news."
"What is it?" Raphael knew something was wrong.
"Me and Stephanie saw an event from the past showing that the souls of 2 kids were sealed into 2 pokemon, and that I have those pokemon," Caroline took a breath to eat a bit.
"And what's the bad part of this?" Raphael asked.
"There are evil people that are after them, and if they get the souls from the pokemon, they can take over this world, but I'm not sure about a lot of the details," Caroline went back to eating.
"Well I guess for now we should do our best to keep an eye out," Raphael said swallowing his food.
After everyone finished eating, some Staff came back in and gathered all the plates. Each of the Staff that came by also handed a card to each of the group of people in each area. Each card had a schedule with dates of specific matches. And today was a purely Double team match.
"Well, looks like me and Stephanie can rest today," Matt said releasing his Meganium to spend some time to care for it.
"Hehe, guess I'll groom my Quagsire," and so she released her Quagsire.
"Well that means you and me Caroline," Raphael began to dig through his bag; "we are going to be battling today probably."
Then the announcements on the speaker came on,
"A Good Morning Trainers, you may have noticed on the cards that we have done a little changing, but don't worry, we are still proceeding with battles like yesterday."
Then another Staff member came by handing the group a paper and then the announcer spoke again, "O and another thing, the form that the Staff have handed to you are papers to let us know if you want us to not put you into battles against your own group mates. Just fill out the form and hand it back to the Staff, and to find the code numbers, look at the bottom of the wristlet's screen," and then the announcements ended.
"So, do you guys want to fill it out?" Caroline asked since she got the paper.
"Hmm, I think yes, cause we don't want to be battling amongst us, especially since we already know each other's teams, so it would be too easy," Raphael said grooming his Flareon.
"Ok then I guess we'll sign the form," and so Caroline finished writing down all the wristlet's codes and filled out the rest of the form. Then she handed to one of the passing Staff.
"Well, we still have some time until the battles begin, we should get ready," Matt said grooming his Meganium.
Everyone went to grooming or feeding their pokemon until the battles start.
In another battle lobby
"Hey Rich, any idea where the girl with the pokemon are?" asked a guy with a Honchkrow.
"Not yet, I'm still searching," a guy with a Sableye with him was scanning through list on his computer.
"But I bet she will be my opponent next up," the guy smirked.
"Don't count on that for sure Derrick," Rich laughed under his breath.
Marcus/Tamia
"Hey Tamia, I think they are starting now, so be prepared, I'm going to check the battles for if anything unusual," Marcus said as he was mixing up some poke chow.
"Alright, I'll go ask around if any of the other Trainers have see any unusual occurrences," Tamia was going through her poketch.
Ian/Tommy
"Hey Ian, you think she figured it out yet?" Tommy asked playing with his Jumpluff.
"She's close to figuring it out, I think she only needs 1 last hint though," Ian was polishing the pearl of his Spoink.
"Do you think we should give her another hint?" Tommy asked
"Hmm, I think I know something that would help her," Ian pulled out a piece of paper and wrote something down then folded it up, "Take this to her and no peaking."
"Ok," Tommy took the note, got up, and went over to Caroline.
Back to total view
"Hey isn't that the kid that is Ian's partner?" Stephanie noticed as he was walking to them.
"Caroline, here is a message from Ian, hope you realize it," Tommy handed Caroline the paper, and walked back to Ian.
"Hmm," Caroline unfolded the paper and began to read it.
'Caroline, if you haven't already figured out who the 2 pokemon are that have the sealed souls, here is a hint, its 2 pokemon that are closely related,' and that was the end of the message.
"2 closely related pokemon…" Caroline began to think, 'which pokemon are closely related.'
"Hey aren't the most closely related pokemon your Gallade and Gardevoir?" Matt said without much thought.
Caroline released the 2 pokemon from their pokeballs and thought in her head, 'are these the two pokemon with the sealed souls.'
Then out of nowhere 2 voices different from Ian spoke to Caroline.
'You are correct, we are the sealed souls,' it was a feminine voice so Caroline realized it must've been Gardevoir.
'We thank you for taking care of us over these years, and now we hope to help you,' it was Gallade now speaking.
"Wow, so you two are the ones," Caroline said amazed.
"So now we know which pokemon are the soul bearers?" Matt asked.
"Yes you have, and you must keep them safe," Marcus came by, and so was Ian.
"Why aren't you guys with your partners?" asked Stephanie.
"Don't worry, we all know, Caroline is the holder of the soul bearing pokemon, and I'm a descendant of the Guardians that protect the Royal Family," Marcus said pulling out 2 pokeballs, "Lucario is the Guardian Pokemon, and Roserade is the young one's favorite pokemon."
"So Marcus, you're a descendant of the Guardians, then what about you Ian?" Raphael asked.
"I'm descendant of the Psychics that held knowledge for the Royal Family, and were the ones who did the sealing," Ian pulled out a pokeball, "And one of the pokemon from the Psychics passed to me is Alakazam."
Lucario, Roserade, Alakazam, Gallade and Gardevoir were all out. And everyone just went to chat as the pokemon chat.
Pokemon now talking to each other
"Roserade it is great to see you again," Gardevoir hugged Roserade.
"Same here," Roserade and Gardevoir jut went on talking about the past.
"Well leaving those 2 to chat, we need to discuss some stuff," Lucario was speaking to Gallade and Alakazam.
"Also, instead of calling you Gallade, what do you want to be called?" Alakazam asked.
"It's alright, just call me Gallade," and they were fine with it.
"Anyways, as you recall, the Evil has come back to get you two," Alakazam spoke.
"Yes," Gallade turned looking at Gardevoir, his sister, happy again.
"We shall do our best to protect you," Lucario kneeled in respect like a knight.
"My partner and I have begun finding a way to stop this evil," Alakazam had used his Psychic to bring a book over. He then began flipping through the book.
"Well, until you figure it out, we'll continue trying to stay hidden," but things are not going to be so easy anymore.
The pokemon were recalled back to their pokeballs, and everyone was getting ready for the battles coming up in about half an hour. And then the announcements came on again.
"One final announcement before we begin Trainers, tomorrow will be double battles and then after that will be the mix of both Tag and Double Teams, O and we have also got your forms for if you do not wish to fight against certain people and we will finish inputting the rest by the end of today's battles."
After the announcements ended everyone was getting ready. Trainers were getting their pokemon ready with final thoughts of their line up and other things. Then all of a sudden, the wristlets numbering began without any notice. After about 2 minutes the numbers had stopped, and it was only the double teams picked.
Both Caroline and Raphael were picked, Caroline was #4 and Raphael was #9. But glancing quickly at the monsters, they were not paired to fight so they were relieved.
Then the announcer spoke again, "Sorry about that Trainers, but we also forgot to mention we are starting the numbering now, you have 5mins to get down to the field and be ready to battle."
Everyone wished both Caroline and Raphael good luck, even Marcus and Ian came by. They also told her to be careful because the evil is out there now. Both of them went down the ramp leading to the field and found their numbers.
'I hope nothing will go wrong,' Caroline thought but she was wrong.
"Hehe, so you're my opponent?" a guy in a white tux asked and had a Sableye already out.
"Wow, wanting to make a good impression? Hehe," Caroline laughed mostly to her thought.
"Who knows, maybe, maybe not," the Sableye stepped into the battle field perimeter, and then the guy threw a pokeball releasing a ghost type, a Dusknoir.
"Wow, so 2 ghost types? This should be pretty simple," Caroline then brought out Grumpig and Metagross.
"O and I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Richard, and what is your name missy?" he had a sly smirk.
"I'm Caroline, but your so not my type, hehe," and after that the referee took his position on their field.
"Both Trainers ready? Then begin," and so the match began. Other matches had begun as well, even Raphael's.
"Dusknoir Shadow Punch, Sableye Shadow Claw," both pokemon charged and made a direct hit damaging both Grumpig and Metagross.
"Lucky shot, Metagross Bullet Punch, Grumpig Extrasensory," Metagross knocked Sableye back, and Grumpig made a direct hit, 1 hit KO, on Dusknoir.
"Not bad, but I doubt you can beat this guy as easily," recalling Dusknoir and then sending a Shedinja out.
"Wow, hardly see Shedinjas much, let's see how strong yours is," both Grumpig and Metagross got ready for to dodge or attack on Caroline's order.
"Sableye Shadow Claw, Shedinja Shadow Ball," Sableye's Shadow Claw hit Grumpig directly and Grumpig was knocked out, then Shedinja's Shadow Ball blew Metagross back fast and Metagross was knocked out as well.
"Dam, so I underestimated you for a bit, but that doesn't mean you will win," Caroline smirked and returned both Grumpig and Metagross. She then sent out Medicham and Slowking.
"You like Psychic pokemon a lot, don't you?"
"So what if I do, I'll like what I wanna like," Caroline thought quickly how to win this battle.
"Shedinja Confuse Ray, Sableye Poison Jab."
Medicham and Slowking dodged the Confuse Ray and Poison Jab with success.
"Medicham Psychic, Slowking Zen Headbutt," and the two pokemon knocked out both Shedinja and Sableye.
"Dam, you are pretty good, but I won't go down that easily here on out," he returned his downed Sableye and Shedinja, and then sent out a Ditto and a Houndoom. "Ditto Transform, Houndoom Faint Attack."
"Oh no you don't, Medicham Force Palm on Ditto, Slowking Water Pulse."
Medicham hit Ditto with a direct Force Palm, but Ditto still transformed and became Medicham, Houndoom came in close to Slowking, but Slowking launched his Water Pulse sending a wave right into Houndoom sending Houndoom way back. Houndoom Recovered and got back and was ready for another go.
"Dam, Houndoom Fire Blast, Ditto Force Palm," so Ditto used Force Palm on Medicham, but missed, then Houndoom fired his Fire Blast at Medicham trying to dodge the Force Palm. The Fire Blast hit Medicham directly, and Medicham was knocked out.
"Well, well, seems like someone is a little mad, I won't bring out my next until Slowking is finished, Slowking Water Pulse," Slowking sent out another bigger wave at Ditto and Houndoom fast, and both were knocked out with no time to evade.
"Dam, you are going to pay for this one day," he returned both Ditto and Houndoom and sent out a Mightyena. "Mightyena, Shadow Ball."
"Dodge it Slowking, then Ice Beam," Slowking dodged it without fail and launched a quick powerful Ice Beam freezing Mightyena, "Slowking Headbutt," with that Slowking charged at the frozen Mightyena and bashed right into it, and Mightyena was knocked out.
"Winner, Caroline Baxter," Referee called out as Mightyena was the final pokemon.
"I'll get my revenge Caroline," and Richard walked off back to his lobby area, Caroline had some bad feelings just now but tried to shrug it off and went back to her lobby area.
