Chapter 4: Easy Like Sunday Morning… Not.

Characters: Typhlosion feat. Feraligatr

"Wow, who knew that Rashan City had a Tim Honchkrow's?"

"It became surprisingly popular in 2013."

Three brothers sat around a small table in the living room of their apartment, watching Good Morning Unova and eating donuts. These three boys had busy lives- the oldest brother being a trainer, the middle brother a coordinator, and the youngest brother being a breeder- but at some point or other in time, they always made time to come home for a weekend, eating donuts and catching up.

The only ones who seemed to enjoy that more than them were their Pokémon, who also were talking and eating donuts.

"How has the training been coming along, Feraligatr?" The middle brother's Pokémon- a female Typhlosion- asked the Water-type, taking a bite of glazed donut.

The oldest brother's Pokémon- a male Feraligatr- gave a cocky smirk. "Coming along nicely. Reckon in a few weeks' time we'll be ready to face the Elite Four." Typhlosion gave an impressed nod.

"'N what about you there?" He stuffed a jelly donut in his mouth and looked at her intently.

"Contests are amazing, but some of the trainers are so petty." Typhlosion admitted. "This one pink-haired girl with the Dustox thinks she's so much better than everyone. With her arrogance, it's no wonder she's never won a ribbon." Feraligatr gave a polite nod, while the youngest brother's Pokémon- a Meganium- listened intently. The grass-type rarely had a lot to say, often preferring listening to talking.

Before they knew it, the three brothers' Pokémon had eaten almost all their donuts, and there was one left.

"Oh, great." Typhlosion sighed, "Now we'll have to settle this like 'men' as our trainers put it." She held out her hand, ready to play "Rock, Paper, Scissors" to see who would win the sugary prize. In response, Feraligatr just chuckled.

"I have a better idea!" He grinned viciously.

"Aw, great. There's ONE donut left." The oldest brother groaned. "What idiot got the bakers' dozen instead of the actual dozen?"

"Hey, don't look at me." The youngest brother said, holding his hands up in surrender.

"So I suppose we'll have to settle this like men?" The middle brother asked, holding out his hand, ready to play a quick game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors".

The oldest brother chuckled. "No… We settle things the old-fashioned way." Looking over at his Pokémon, he called out, "Feraligatr!" The Water-type looked at him inquisitively. Turning back to his brother, the 16-year-old said, "You and me, one vee one. Winner gets the donut."

"Oh, you are SO on." The middle brother- a dark-haired boy of 15- stood up and gave him a smirk. "Typhlosion can handle this, no sweat."

"Uh, guys?" The youngest brother, a sandy-haired boy of about 13, asked quietly, "Couldn't we just solve things more easily by, like… Splitting the-"

But his words went in one ear and out the other, because the two older boys had left the apartment and gone outside, where snow was falling and the ground was blanketed in white.

"Typhlosion, how can you STAND this weather?" Feraligatr asked. "It's a million degrees below zero!"

The Fire-type gave a smirk. "Being a Fire Pokémon will do that for ya."

The two boys walked with their Pokémon to the battle arena outside the building, and got into their respective corners.

"Feraligatr, I choose you!" The oldest brother said authoritatively as the alligator-like Pokémon jumped in.

"You can do this, Typhlosion!" The middle brother was slightly concerned for the type advantage, but had to put on a brave face for his Pokémon. She leapt into the court, ready to battle.

"That glazed is as good as mine!" Typhlosion told Feraligatr.

"In your DREAMS." Feraligatr said arrogantly.

"Typhlosion, use Flamethrower!" The middle brother commanded. Typhlosion did as she was commanded, summoning all her strength to land an attack that would make her trainer proud. And though it did not knock out Feraligatr fully, it did do a considerable amount of damage.

"Quick Feraligatr!" The oldest brother said, "Use a Hydro Pump!" Feraligatr launched the watery outburst that Typhlosion actually dodged with ease.

"Sight problems, Feraligatr?" The dark-haired brother smirked, earning a glower from his older sibling.

"…You just got lucky." The 16-year-old muttered. "Try another Hydro Pump, Feraligatr!"

"Wild Charge, Typhlosion!" The 15-year-old commanded.

Both attacks launched at the same time. Both Pokémon fought valiantly, their minds clearly on the prize at hand.

But in the end, they both fell.

"…The heck?" The younger of the two boys said confusedly.

"I won." The older boy game his brother a calm smile.

"No way, I did! Feraligatr totally fell first!"

"You mispronounced Typhlosion's name, dude."

Typhlosion and Feraligatr looked at each other, trying to tune out their trainers' argument.

"Hey." Typhlosion turned to the Big Jaw Pokémon. "You… You fight good."

Feraligatr smirked. "For a contest Pokémon, you're not too bad."

"That donut is still mine though." The Fire-type smirked.

"No way!"

The group walked back into the apartment, the trainers still arguing over who was to receive the last donut. Upon entering, though, they were greeted by a truly horrifying sight.

The box on the coffee table had nothing but crumbs in it.

"It's GONE?!" The older brother cried. "We fought literally for NOTHING?"

"Hey, we had a pretty good battle, didn't we?"

"Oh, hey guys."

The two boys turned to where the youngest brother was sitting, now watching Sunday morning cartoons and chewing on something.

"Meganium and I got hungry." The boy said softly, "So we took the last two donuts. Hope you're not mad."

The two older brothers looked at each other, and gave a nod in agreement.

"Oh we're not mad." The oldest one said, Feraligatr and Typhlosion standing in front of him, ready to attack.

"We're furious."

(And that is Typhlosion featuring Feraligatr! I was laughing while writing this; hope I could crack a smile or at least an eye-roll from you guys. Coming next time will be Umbreon and Flareon! So… Please remember to read, review and request… Bakugan BRAWL! Wait, wrong cartoon. Oh well .-.)
