CHAPTER RE-DONE! A long flashback is in this chapter, so just bear with me!
Anna woke up the next morning to her cell phone ringing.
Who'd be calling me this early...? She thought, reaching for the phone.
"BARRY'S CALLING!" flashed on the screen.
How'd that dude get my number? I just met him yesterday!
Anna hesitated, but answered the phone anyway.
"Hello...?" she asked groggingly.
"I should FINE you from yesterday you know!" he yelled.
Barry's loud voice startled Anna a bit, but she said, "Uh...why?"
"You got blood all over the side of my bike!" he complained.
"You're the one who ran me over with it, Blondie!" she spat, getting annoyed with him.
"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION!"
"At least I know how to ride a bike!"
"At least I know how to apologize!"
Anna huffed, "...YOU EVEN SAID IT WAS YOUR FAULT!"
"That's because I felt sorry for you!"
She felt hurt. How could someone speak to her this way?
"You know, I actually thought you were cute, Barry. But, now you're just a big...JERK!"
"YOU'RE THE JERK FOR NOT WATCHING YOUR STEP!"
"YOU WANNA GO, BLONDIE?"
"YOU BET! POKE'MON BATTLE, THE CLEARING, SIX POKE'MON EACH, LOSER APOLOGIZES, NOW!"
"You've got it! Just wait until I show you who's the real jerk!"
"FINE! When you lose it's a HUGE FINE for you, JOHTO GIRL!"
Click.
"Queer..." she mumbled, slamming the phone down and throwing clothes everywhere, looking for her black messanger bag.
"Barry thinks he'll win, huh? He doesn't know SH*T about what happens when I get pissed! Just wait until-"
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"That better not be you, Barry!" she said, narrowing her eyes in anger.
"Nope! It's your mother! May I come in, I heard yelling!"
"Sure, I'm still mad though!"
Her mother, Belle entered her room, looking deeply worried.
"What was all the yelling about?" she asked, fixing her dark brown hair into a bun.
"The new friend I made the other day, Barry. He's acting like a big-shot, saying what happened the day we met was my fault." Anna replied flatly, not wanting to take her anger out on her mother.
"Well...tell your mother what happened then!" she said, smiling and looking at her daughter with concern in her deep brown eyes.
"Well, it happened two days ago, when you turned off the power in here. I went outside in search of something to do. So, I looked up at the sky, interested in the rain. Then, this kid starts yelling at me to get out of the way, but I didn't hear him! He ended up ramming into me with his bike, Mom! He says it's my fault!"
"Well...even if it isn't your fault, I think you should still apologize. That's what I would do." Belle replied calmly.
Anna scoffed, "Me, apologize? Yeah, that's a good one. Deal is, whoever loses in our Poke'mon battle is the one to fess up with an apology." she explained, quickly picking six Poke'balls from her ball shelf and stuffing them in her bag.
"Hm...you are a champian in Johto and Kanto, but Barry's champian in Sinnoh and Hoenn. It's hard ot say who would win."
"You've forgotten what happens when I'm angry, Mom. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is going to stop me from winning." Anna said darkly, worrying her mother a bit more.
"Wow, he must've really gotten to you this time, Annalise."
"You bet he did Mom. When I know I'm right...I'm right."
"I just hope you realize what you're getting yourself into."
"Come on, it's not like I'm going to hurt the kid or anything..." she said with slight sarcasum in her voice.
"Just...be careful, okay? Remember what happened when you were little?"
"Hm...?" the burnette asked, picking up a few berrys from her mini-fridge.
"In fifth grade with that bully, Gary Oak?"
Anna's face scrunched up.
"Oh, yeah...he sent his Charmander on me...it cost me the role for Team Rocket leader in that play we did at the end of the year."
"Do you remember what his Poke'mon did?"
She scoffed again, "How could I forget? Gary just thought it would be oh-so-funny to have that stupid lizard burn half my face! He even sindged half my hair! The costume was so itchy on my burns, Mrs. Perry wouldn't let me preform!"
Belle nodded, "...remember how you got revenge?"
Anna's pissed-off expression grew into an evil smile and she chuckled.
"Now...that's something I'd never forget..."
Flashback, Pallet Town School, Johto Region.
Eleven year old Anna sank onto the concrete, crying. The fifth grade bully, Gary Oak had taken it too far.
"How about we give Trash Hair a better look, Charmander?"
"Char!" the fire lizard nodded in agreement.
"Right, Flamethrower, now!"
Anna pushed herself onto her feet and tried to force a run, but his friend, Ash Ketchem with a Pikachu on his shoulder, tripped her.
"You're not going anywhere, girly!" he said, grabbing her off the ground. His Pikachu agreed, smiling evily.
Ash held Anna by the back of her arms and forced her to stand up again. Anna could do nothing as Charmander spat out powerfull waves of fire at her face. It seemed to last for hours, but in reality, it was only for about ten seconds.
"NO, NO! STOP IT!"
By the time Gary called off the attack, half of Anna's face was sun-burned and her shoulder legnth hair had burned away to over her left ear. Ash smirked and let the poor girl fall to the ground. His Pikachu thought about helping her, but stayed on his trainer's shoulder. He and Gary high-fived before walking away from the crying Anna. Anna's best friend ran from the building, resting beside Anna.
"M-M-Misty, it was h-horrible!," she cried, "...G-Gary and A-Ash are such...JERKS!"
The red-head helped Anna up and looked angeringly in the boys' direction.
"Tell me something I don't know...HEY!" she said suddenly, "...want to get some revenge? I know another kid who can help."
"R-Really? Who'd you have in mind?"
"There's this kid who owns an Onix...his name's Brock. I'm sure he'll help, he owes me a favor anyway."
"That's great Mist! Squirtle can help too, right?"
Misty held her Poke'ball and said, "...you bet! Since you've come from Johto, your Chikorita can help too!"
Anna nodded and Misty led her inside. The red-head pointed to the computer lab inside the doors and put a finger to her lips, signaling Anna to be quite. Misty pushed open the door and they crept inside. After looking for a few seconds, Misty spotted a boy on the computer in the corner. He had spiky, brown hair and was staring intently at the screen.
"Hey, Brock!" she said, leading Anna over to the computer he was using.
"Uh...Brock?" she said, snapping her fingers.
"Hm...?" he asked, breaking eye contact from the screen, "..oh. Hi, Misty!"
"Hey, me and Anna have a favor to ask you."
"Alright, ask."
"We're having trouble with Ash and Gary..."
"Ah...I've got the PERFECT solution!" Brock said, pulling out his Poke'ball.
20 minutes later, on the playground...
"Hey, Oak and Ketchem!" Misty called, turning the boy's attention from kickball.
"Ha! Hey guys look, it's Aqua-tard!" Gary said, causing Ash and few other kids to burst out laughing.
Misty narrowed her eyes and beckoned Brock and Anna to come forward.
"Oh, hey! They've brought Trash Hair and Rock, too!" Ash noticed, laughing again. Pikachu didn't laugh, but narrowed his eyes at Ash.
"We're not here for put downs, Gary! We want revenge!" Anna said, talking braver then she actually felt.
"Hah, bring it on, Trashy!" the boy said, prepared.
"Alright, release your Poke'mon!"
In a flash of light, Chikorita, Squirtle, and Onix appeared. Gary, Ash and the rest of their group looked up at the enormous rock Poke'mon.
"L-Let's get out of here!" one boy stuttered, leading a bunch of other boys to follow him.
Onix didn't scare Ash or Gary, they've seen it before. But, Pikachu had fear in his brown eyes.
"You're picking a fight with the wrong kids, Trash Hair. Guess you'll just have to learn your le-"
"SQUIRTLE, Water Gun, NOW!"
"Chikorita, whip up a Leaf Storm!"
"Onix, Tackle!"
Misty and Anna called their attacks at the same time, causing a double-attack. Leaf Storm and Water Gun collided, grass mixing with water. They spun together with one fluid motion, splitting into two and hitting Ash and Gary. The two had the wind knocked out of them, and they hit the brick wall of the building. The two bullies looked up as Onix hit with a gentle tackle, causing a few scratches. Ash and Gary were soaking wet, covered in leafs, and had a few bruises and scratches. Pikachu had been send a few feet away from the two, soaking wet with bruises as well.
"Ow...that hurts...I think-I think...she dislocated my shoulder..." Ash whined, trying to move his arm.
"That Onix is strong...ow...nearly broke my rib..." Gary muttered, clutching his torso with one hand.
"Pika...chu..." ("My arm...it's numb...")
"Try to mess with us again, Berry Gary, see what happens!" Brock said, returning his Onix before a teacher saw.
"I wish you farewell, losers!" Anna said, making an 'L' with her hand and facing them with her tongue sticking out.
"Next time, you better think twice before bulling us, you fags!" Misty retorted, walking away with her friends.
End Flashback
"I hope you don't do something like that to Barry, Anna..." Belle said, frowning and looking down at her lap.
"Don't worry mom...I won't hurt him...much..." Anna replied,retrieving her things and leaving the room.
"Get ready...for a battle you'll never forget...Barry Bear..."
BWAHAHAHA! Anna is so evil... =w=
