..I have nothing to say. xD;
---------------------------------------------------------
Night had fallen across the Hoenn region, and Petalburg Forest had become even darker than before. Towards the end of it, the group of Hisa, Taki, Takahiro, and Michiru had made their small camp site for the night. They were very close to the exit, but the group had decided it best to rest for the night, then make their way out in the morning.
As the fire was put out and everyone settled in their beds for the night, Hisa found herself not feeling the least bit tired, she was too excited to be sleepy. Taki had curled up next to her, closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep moments after. Hisa looked over at her, and smiled a small bit. It still made her uncomfortable, but she couldn't say no to her. At the least, Hisa knew she could get used to sleeping next to the Mudkip-girl. Right now, the only thing that mattered to Hisa was getting out of the forest and on with their journey. The thought of seeing new places and catching new Pokemon was so exciting, Hisa could barely stand it.
Hisa looked up at the stars, a small smile on her face still. The day had had it's ups and downs, but it was sure eventful. Meeting Michiru, and Ryoku.. Hisa couldn't help but wish it has Ryoku traveling with her rather than the Skitty-crazed Michiru. Just the thought of the handsome, silver-haired boy was enough to make Hisa's cheeks turn pink.
On top of meeting new people, Hisa had also caught a new Pokemon. She was very pleased with herself for it, too. The group had been walking through the forest, when suddenly, Hisa had spotted a Chikorita. She was so surprised and eager to catch it, it was so cute and one of the last Pokemon she'd expected to see in the Petalburg Forest. Takahiro had let her get it, claiming it was too 'girly' for him, and Michiru was only interested in Skitties. So, after a short battle with Eevee, Hisa had successfully captured the little grass Pokemon.
Now, Hisa had three Pokemon, and was more than ready to get out of Petalburg Forest and to their next destination. She couldn't help but wonder what new ones she would catch. It was all so very exciting, she couldn't wait! Hisa mused over this for a while, before her eyes closed, and she too fell asleep.
The next morning the group awoke and started off soon after. It was only a short way they had to go before finally reaching the forest's exit. The whole group was clearly very relieved to finally be out, and ready to get to the next place. Hisa took a deep breath, breathing in the not-forest air.
"So.. Takahiro, you're the one who seems to know where everything is. Where are we going?" she asked.
"If you want to go to Mauville, then we should head up to Slateport." he replied.
"Slateport, really?! Awesome! I've wanted to go there for so long!" Hisa replied, joyfully. She looked over to Michiru, who was digging around in some bushes for Skitties, while Taki watched her curiously. "Hey! We're leaving, so come on, Taki. And you really don't have to come if you'd rather stay here, Michiru."
"Kip!" Taki obediently ran to Hisa's side.
Michiru glared over at Hisa, hopping out from the bushes and running back over to the group. "Of course I'm coming! The Skitty Princess needs to be with the Mudkip Princess, how many times do I have to tell yo-- HEY! Wait!" Michiru yelled, running after the three, who had began walking away.
Takahiro led the group to a small house overlooking the beach outside Petalburg City, very close to the place Hisa met Taki. Hisa remembered that day, and looked over to Taki, wondering if she knew.
"Okay, this guy will give us a ride to Slateport." Takahiro announced, knocking on the door of the house.
"Eh? You sure?" Hisa asked.
"Yeah, watch."
The old man opened the door, a Wingull on his shoulder. "Yes?" he asked, studying the small group before him.
"Mr. Briney, is it? We're trying to get to Slateport..mind giving us a ride?" Takahiro asked.
The old man nodded, and stepped out of the house. "Alright."
"Yay! I can't wait!" Hisa exclaimed.
She boarded the man's little boat along with Taki, Michiru, and Takahiro. Once the group was settled in, Mr. Briney started up the boat's engine, and began the ride to Slateport. The young trainers and the Mudkip-girl looked down at their surroundings, admiring it all. The day was perfect to be out on the water. The weather was perfect, and the sun shined brightly, making the water sparkle. With a small, sweet breeze in the air, it was almost like a vacation rather than a journey.
Hisa held up Eevee, looking over the edge of the boat with him. "Isn't it pretty, Eevee?" she said, petting her Pokemon.
"Vee!" he chirped in reply, gazing down at the water again.
Torchic popped out of its pokeball, blinking and looking around at the strange surroundings. "Tor..?" it said. The boat rocked and the little Pokemon nearly tripped, causing it to jump behind Takahiro. "Tooor.."
"..Idiot. Stay in your ball." Takahiro said in an irritated tone, returning his Pokemon.
Michiru looked down at the water, wanting to let out Mako-Skitty, but knowing the Pokemon was not fond of water. She stretched a bit, and breathed in the air. "This is so relaxing!"
"It is!" Hisa agreed.
"Kip.." Taki said, looking down at the water, an unsure expression on her face. She wasn't sure what they were doing, but she knew they were on water. Some of it flew up and wet her face lightly, and she touched her fingers to the wet part of her face. It was definitely water they were on.
Hisa was contently watching the scenes fly by, when she happened to notice Taki out of the corner of her eye. The Mudkip-girl was ready to jump off the boat, and was undoing the straps of her dress.
"T-Taki!" Hisa shrieked, running over and bringing her down, fixing her dress. "What the hell do you think you're doing!?"
"Taki wants to go into the water!" she replied, her tone cheerful and oblivious.
Hisa gave her a somewhat annoyed look. "Well, you can't! Not right now.. We're on a boat.."
"Kip.."
"..If she wants to get naked and swim, let her. I don't see the problem." Takahiro said.
Hisa shot him a glare. "You shut up."
"It was worth a try." he sighed.
Soon enough, the boat ride ended, as Mr. Briney made it to Slateport City. He let his passengers off and then left. Hisa, Taki, Takahiro, and Michiru all looked around at their new surroundings. They were right in the middle of a beach, right outside the city itself. There were so many people out playing, swimming, and tanning, the atmosphere was very summery and fun.
Takahiro looked around at all the bikini-clad girls around him, trying not to drool. Michiru looked around, hoping to maybe spot a Skitty, while Hisa marveled at the beach. Taki, on the other hand, was focused on the water, watching all the people happily swim. She so badly wanted to be in there with them, she wanted to feel the water on her skin.
The want soon turned into a need, as Taki found herself being unable to control herself from wandering towards the water, undoing her dress as she drew closer. Hisa saw her and ran after her, stopping her and yet again fixing her dress.
"Taki!" she yelled.
"Taki is sorry... Taki just really wants to be in the water.." she explained, looking down a bit.
Hisa's expression suddenly softened. "It's fine. I think after walking through that forest, we deserve a little break. What do you say we do a little swimming, guys?"
"Yes!" Michiru happily agreed.
"Please!" Takahiro replied, his eyes still wandering around the beach.
"Oh... But, Taki doesn't have a swimsuit.." Hisa said, looking at Taki.
"Kip? Swimsuit?"
"It's what you wear when you go swimming.. Because you can't swim naked." Hisa explained.
"Taki wants to swim!" she replied, her fins perking up.
"I know, so do we.. We can probably get you something in the city."
"It looks like there's a swimming shop up that way, they probably sell some.." Michiru pointed out.
"Okay, great! Let's go!" Hisa said, taking Taki's hand and walking to the shop with the group. When they got to it, they stopped in front of it and Hisa looked to Taki. "She's never picked out a swimsuit.. So we should help her."
"Okay!" Michiru replied, taking Taki's hand.
"Gladly!" Takahiro replied.
Hisa glared at him. "I don't think so. You stay out here with Eevee and wait."
"Bu-- ..Fine." Takahiro began, but decided against arguing as a hot, bikini-clad blonde walked past him.
"Make sure he doesn't do anything stupid, Eevee. We'll try to make this quick!" Hisa said, she and Michiru taking Taki's hands and running into the store with her.
"Vee!" Eevee nodded.
Once inside, the girls became wrapped up in searching through all the swimsuits. Bikinis, one pieces, tankinis, swim wear of all sorts were there. It was all a matter of finding the perfect one for Taki. The Mudkip-girl watched Hisa and Michiru rummage through the racks, completely confused. She tilted her head to the side, looking around at all the different colored and styled suits around her.
"Kip.." she said, poking at some bottoms on a clearance table. She picked up a bikini top, and looked at it strangely, unsure of what it was or what to do with it.
Meanwhile, Hisa and Michiru were busy at work finding the perfect swimsuit for Taki. The two girls inspected the array of suits, picking out ones they liked and thought might look good on Taki. They were not quick about it, as they took about a half hour going through all the suits and picking out ones for her to try on. Disagreements and arguing were what held them up, but, when they finally had their final selections, the two grabbed Taki and rushed into a dressing room with her.
After more arguing, and Taki trying on many different swimsuits of all kinds, they were at the last two or three selections. Taki went through them, and on the last one, the two girls' eyes lit up.
"Perfect!" they exclaimed.
They paid, got into their own swimsuits, and ran out of the store. Takahiro gave an irritated look to them as they came up to him, for making him wait so long. His expression quickly changed to a surprised one though, and he blushed at the two.
"Wow!" he happily exclaimed, looking them up and down.
Hisa had her hair up in a ponytail, and sported a red-colored bikini that tied around the neck, with a matching bottom that tied into little ribbons on each side of her hips. Michiru wore a two piece that was a pink color with purple polka dots all around it, her bottom forming a little ruffle skirt.
"Wow! You guys actually look pretty hot!" Takahiro said, his eyes glued to the two. "..Where's Taki?"
"Taki!" they both called.
Taki walked out of the store and up to the group, a slightly confused expression on her face. She wore a plain white bikini which tied around the neck like Hisa's, with a matching white bottom. Strangely, the most plain suit Hisa and Michiru had picked out suited her best.
Takahiro's eyes lit up even more. "Oh, WOW! Hot! You look extremely sexy, Taki!"
"Kip! Taki is sexy?"
Hisa facepalmed. "Let's just get to swimming already!"
The group made a place for themselves on the beach, laying four towels down under a little umbrella. Eevee layed on Hisa's, enjoying the shade, as Torchic popped out of it's pokeball. Takahiro sighed and let out Buizel and Dunsparce. Buizel looked around, while Dunsparce wiggled over to the shade of the umbrella.
"You're letting your Pokemon out?" Hisa asked.
"Might as well." Takahiro shrugged.
Hisa then let Spheal and Chikorita out of their pokeballs, smiling down at the two. "Have fun and be good while we swim, okay guys?" she said.
"Spheeeaaal!" Spheal yawned, looking around happily at the beach.
"Chika.." Chikorita said, looking around also.
Michiru released Mako-Skitty and Bulbasaur, who each wandered onto her towel. "You guys keep on the lookout for Skitties, okay? Call me if you find any!" Her two Pokemon nodded in reply, then went over to mingle with the others.
After getting their Pokemon settled, the trainers ran into the water. All but Taki, as she stopped at the water's edge. She looked down at it, and blinked as some splashed her feet.
"Kip.."
"Come on in, Taki! It's okay!" Hisa called.
Taki blinked, but made her way into the water. Deeper and deeper, until it came up past her hips. She saw people going under, and she looked down at it once more. She now felt much more comfortable in it, so she too submerged herself. She swam a little underwater, before popping back up.
"Kip!" she chirped. Being underwater felt amazing to her.
"See? It's fun once you get in!" Hisa smiled. She watched Taki swim around a bit and splash herself, and felt happy the Mudkip-girl seemed to be enjoying herself.
Suddenly, Hisa felt a hand on her backside, and her face turned red, out of both embarrassment and anger. The hand rubbed it a little, and she turned around to face the groper, grabbing his hand.
"TAKAHIRO!" she yelled, infuriated. "What the hell do you think you're doing!?"
Takahiro laughed, yanking his hand back. "Sorry, sorry! Just checking it out. Despite your personality and looks, you do have a very nice body! Nice ass, Hisa."
Hisa glared, her face growing even redder. She splashed him furiously. "Stop being such a pervert!"
"Hey, hey! I was just kidding around! You should be honored!"
"Sure!"
"What are you two fighting about?" Michiru asked, coming over to the two.
"Takahiro's being an ass." Hisa replied, annoyed.
Takahiro studied Michiru for a moment, and then clapped his hands together. "Okay, ladies! The results for the Slateport Bikini Bash are in, and we have a winner!" he announced.
"..What?" Hisa and Michiru asked.
"Michiru's looking adorable in pink and purple polka dots, but it's a bit too childish. Hisa surprises everyone by looking much hotter than expected, and proving to have a nice rack and butt! She feels delightful, too. However, our winner has to be the sexy, yet adorable, Taki! White's never looked better, she wears it so well! Nice body, great rack, with cute Mudkip fins to top it off! She also has the best personality of the three! Yes, it was a pretty close run, but the title goes to Taki, no question." Takahiro stated.
"Kip?" Taki said cluelessly, looking at him.
Hisa and Michiru were speechless for a moment, but then gave eachother looks and nodded. They glared at Takahiro, and each grabbed one of his arms, dragging him farther out into the water. When they got to the spot they wanted, they each dunked him down deep. Takahiro wiggled, trying to break free of their hold and come up for air, as Taki looked on, confused and concerned.
After a good few seconds, the girls let up and let the perverted boy up for air. He breathed heavily, desperately trying to regain his breath. "N-Not cool, guys!" he yelled, backing away from them.
"Stop being an idiot and maybe we won't do it again!" Hisa warned, Michiru nodding in agreement.
"You girls are really too sensitive. You should try to be more like Taki." Takahiro replied. They both glared and took a step closer to him, and he hid behind Taki. "Joking, joking!"
The Pokemon were all busy relaxing as their trainer's swam and had a good time. Eevee, Bulbasaur, and Dunsparce laid back in the shade, relaxing. Chikorita sat by them, unsure of what to do. Mako-Skitty hid behind Bulbasaur, not wanting to get wet. The water made Torchic curious, and he slowly walked closer and closer to the water's edge, unsure. His feet began to get wet, and the fire Pokemon shrieked with surprise, running back to the blankets. Meanwhile, Spheal and Buizel were happily swimming and playing in the water.
After over an hour of swimming and having fun, Hisa, Michiru, and Takahiro were beginning to tire out. Michiru laid in an innertube, relaxing, while Hisa laid on her back and Takahiro laid on a raft. The three were enjoying their little vacation from training and walking, and were content basking in the sunlight.
Hisa sighed happily, and looked over to the side. Taki was still swimming playfully, not seeming the least bit tired. Hisa couldn't help but smile a little at the girl's happiness, she seemed so content in the water. Her energy was something else, too. Hisa continued to watch her, when suddenly, Taki dove underwater. A few minutes passed, and she didn't come back up. Hisa blinked a few times, and sat up, growing concerned.
She looked all around her, but didn't spot the Mudkip-girl anywhere. She then dove under, and swam forward, trying to locate her. She swam around where Taki had been, but still saw no sign of her. Coming up for air and still with no sight of her, Hisa began to worry. She swam out more, hoping Taki had done the same.
Taki had gone farther out, to deeper waters. The beach was still in her sight, but the water was too deep to stand up. The Mudkip-girl remained underwater, swimming around and admiring the sea around her. Different fish and fish Pokemon swam by her, and she watched them swim off, wondering where they were going.
Taki swam deeper down, picking up a small, white-colored seashell. She examined it, and smiled. She liked it, so she kept it in her hand as she swam around some more. The water gave her such a good, calming feeling. She almost felt at home, and didn't want to ever be out of it. Taki stopped swimming for a moment, and closed her eyes. She felt so content, like she could stay there like that forever.
The Mudkip-girl stayed there like that for a few moments, before coming up for air. She breathed in and looked around, spotting a single figure not too far from her, looking around. It only took a second for Taki to realize it was Hisa, and she quickly swam towards the girl.
"Kip! Hisa!" Taki cheerfully called, as she swam up to Hisa.
"Taki! There you are! I was getting worried.." Hisa said, relieved the girl was alright.
"Taki is fine. Is Hisa happy?" she asked, smiling sweetly.
Hisa smiled back at her and nodded. "Yeah, it's really nice here."
"It is! Taki loves the water!"
"So do I, it's really relaxing after all that traveling.." Hisa replied. She wondered if that was the part of Taki that was Mudkip, loving the water so much.
"Where are Takahiro and Michiru?" Taki asked.
"They're back by the beach.. I couldn't find you, so I went looking for you.."
"Kip! Taki understands.."
"Want to go back by them?" Hisa asked.
Taki nodded in reply, and the two then swam off to their friends. The group stayed out for about an hour more before leaving the beach. They then made their way into the city of Slateport, and settled into a room in the Pokemon Center there for the night.
The group had each decided to go down for a bath. Much to Takahiro's dismay, the men and women's sides were separated. At least, he was the only one in the men's part at the time. Hisa, Michiru, and Taki also had the women's section to themselves.
Michiru and Hisa settled into the bath, both of them sighing contently. The warm bath water felt so nice after a long day of playing in the ocean. Taki got into the water with them, and studied it curiously. It was a much different temperature than the ocean.
She looked to Hisa. "Bathtime?"
"Yep, it's bathtime again." Hisa replied, laying back.
Michiru yawned, and stretched a bit. She pushed some hair out of her face, as she had taken her pigtails down. "This feels so nice.."
"Sure does.." Hisa replied. "Hey, Michiru, if you're only after Skitties, then why do you have Bulbasaur?"
"Bulbasaur was my starter Pokemon! I come from the Kanto region..but Skitties are pretty rare around there. When my parents let me go on my own, they told me I had to get a starter from Professor Oak. He didn't have any Skitties, so.. I chose Bulbasaur. Even though he's not a Skitty, I love him. He's a really great Pokemon! He's the official guardian of the Skitties, he'll do a great job protecting the kingdom." she explained.
"I see.." Hisa replied, choosing to ignore that last part.
After a few moments of silence, Michiru looked over at Hisa. She got a slightly annoyed look on her face, and looked down at herself. She then looked over at Taki, who was cheerfully swimming around in the large bath.
"Rah! It's not fair!" she yelled, splashing angrily.
Hisa blinked, and came out of her calm state. "W-What? What's wrong?"
"Kip?" Taki asked, going over to the two girls.
Michiru blushed a bit, and looked at the both of them, then down at herself again. "You both..have bigger breasts than me.. It's not fair!"
"What?" Hisa said, looking down at herself. "Um... It's..not my fault they're..big... They aren't even all that big!"
"They're still bigger than mine!" she whined.
"Well.. You're younger than me..?"
"By not even two years!"
"Maybe you'll have a growth spurt, or..something..?" Hisa suggested, the whole topic making her rather uncomfortable.
"But look at Taki! I want big melons like her!" Michiru whined, looking over at Taki. "You're so lucky, Taki!"
"Kip..? Melons like Taki?" the Mudkip-girl asked, completely confused. She looked down at her chest, which was where Michiru's gaze was.
"Er.. Don't worry about it, Taki.." Hisa said.
Michiru swam over to Taki, still staring at her breasts. She put her hands to them and felt them once. "They're so squishy! Gaaah, I want sooome!"
"What in the hell do you think you're doing!?" Hisa shrieked.
"I just wanted to see what real breasts felt like.." Michiru replied.
"..You are a really, really weird girl, do you know that?" Hisa said. Michiru stuck her tongue out in reply.
"Kip?" Taki said, still with no idea what was going on.
Takahiro had finished his bath before the three girls, and was wandering back to the room, a towel draped around his neck. He passed by the entrance to the girl's bath, and couldn't help but take a peek inside. Seeing no one in the little changing room, he silently slipped in. He studied each of the piles of clothes. There were three, from each of his three companions.
Looking around to make sure he was still safe, Takahiro began going through the small piles. In Michiru's pile, he found what he wanted. A pair of small, pink-colored panties. He sat them down, and went through Taki's next. To his surprise and dismay, Taki wore plain, white panties. He had been hoping for something more colorful and cute.
Next and last was Hisa's. For this one, Takahiro had no idea what to expect. He tossed her clothes away until he uncovered them. He picked up the under garment, examining it closely. The question had been answered, Hisa wore blue and white striped panties. Takahiro couldn't help but find this rather cute. He had figured she'd wear more plain ones like Taki.
Just as he was about to put Hisa's panties down and make his getaway, Takahiro stopped as he heard people drawing closer. Footsteps and girl's voices coming closer and closer to him. He panicked, trying to run, but nervous about getting out in time, and he couldn't fix the mess of clothes. Before he could do anything, Hisa, Michiru, and Taki came into the changing room, each wrapped in a towel. They all blinked at the sight of Takahiro there by their clothes, holding a pair of blue and white striped panties.
Hisa screamed, her face turning red with anger and embarrassment. "W-W-What the HELL do you think you're doing in here, Takahiro!?" she shouted.
Takahiro paused for a moment before speaking, his face also turning red. "I-I was... ... ...Panty inspection!" he replied, nervously, though trying to put some assurance in his voice.
Hisa glared at him, while Taki stared curiously, and Michiru blushed, hiding herself a bit behind Hisa. "And just why would we need something like that? Especially from a pervert like you!"
"B-Because! I'm here to make sure your panties are.. In good condition! And..um.." he replied.
Hisa glared, unamused. "Bad answer. You.. I could strangle you.. Stupid perver-- PUT MY PANTIES DOWN!" she screamed.
Takahiro did so, and backed away nervously. "Eheheh.. Well, ladies! The inspection is over! You all passed with flying colors!" he announced. "And, Hisa, cute panties. I never would have guessed that was your type.."
"...GET OUT YOU NO GOOD DISGUSTING PERV!" she yelled, furiously, blushing even more. Takahiro let out a slightly nervous laugh before darting out the door.
"..I'm afraid to leave my clothes alone now." Michiru said.
"Seriously.." Hisa replied.
"Kip.." Taki said, with no idea what the problem was.
The next morning, Hisa awoke to rays of sunlight shining down on her. She blinked a few times, rubbing her eyes, and rolled over groggily. She looked over to see Michiru playing with Mako-Skitty, and Takahiro sitting on a chair with a bored expression on his face. She sat up and stretched a bit.
"Morning, guys.." she greeted.
"Good morning, sleeping beauty. Have a nice rest? It's almost 11." Takahiro replied.
"..Sorry. You could've woke me up, you know."
"You were snoring so loud, I was a bit scared to go over there." Takahiro teased.
Hisa shot him a glare and threw a pillow at him. She then looked around the room and blinked. "Where's Taki?"
"She said she was going out to the beach, earlier.." Michiru replied.
"Ah.. I better go make sure she doesn't get into any trouble.." Hisa said, getting out of bed and dressing herself. After getting ready, she and Eevee ran out of the Pokemon center, and down to the beach to look for Taki.
The beach was already busy, and full of people's voices and laughter. Hisa and Eevee walked along it, trying to spot the Mudkip-girl. It didn't take long before they did. Taki was standing at the shore line, staring at the ocean ahead of her, letting the water wet her feet. Hisa ran up to her, relieved she was alright.
"Hey, what are you doing?" she asked.
"Kip! Good morning, Hisa!" Taki greeted cheerfully.
"Morning.." Hisa replied.
"We will be leaving soon, yes? Taki just wanted to look at the water before we left.. The water makes Taki feel good.." she explained, turning her gaze back to the blue sea.
"I see.. It is nice.." Hisa replied, smiling a bit at her.
Taki looked back at Hisa, returning her smile. She then blinked, remembering something. The girl dug into her dress, grabbing something from inside and removing her hand, she then smiled back at Hisa. Hisa stared at her a bit oddly.
"What is it..?" she asked.
"Taki has something for Hisa!"
"Ah? You do?" Hisa asked, curious.
Taki nodded, and took Hisa's hand, placing the small white seashell from the day before in it. "Taki found that yesterday, in the water.. She thought Hisa would like it.."
Hisa blinked, looking down at the little shell in her hand. She smiled at it, and then at Taki. "Awww, you're so sweet! I love it, thank you! I promise I'll keep it with me." she said, placing the seashell in her skirt pocket.
Taki's eyes lit up, and she hugged Hisa, clinging on tightly. "Kip! Hisa likes! Taki is so happy!"
Hisa blushed a bit, and tried to pry the joyful Mudkip-girl off. "T-Taki.."
Taki held on, but she then loosened her grip; her fins perking up a bit. She looked to the side, and let go of Hisa. Two men in blue and black colored suits, with crescent moons on the fronts were approaching them. They didn't look too friendly. Hisa looked over, and saw them. She blinked, and stared at them as they came closer. Eevee sniffed the air, and the fur on his back bristled a bit. He quickly got into a defensive stance by Hisa, sensing trouble.
The men stopped in front of the two girls, their expressions cold and almost emotionless. One had slightly spiky black hair and brown eyes, while the other had short brown hair and green-colored eyes. Hisa faced them, getting an uneasy feeling.
"Hand us over the Mudkip girl, and no one will have to get hurt." the brown-haired grunt stated.
"What? Who are you people? Why do you want Taki?" Hisa questioned.
"Not that it's any of your business, but we're from Team Lunar. An organization dedicated to this world's revolution. Now, please, the Mudkip-girl." he replied coldly.
Hisa took a small step in front of Taki. "Team Lunar? Why do you people want Taki? What does she have to do with you?"
"Just about everything. Again, not that it's any of your business. Just hand her over already so this all can end."
"Sorry, you guys are awfully suspicious, and I refuse to put Taki in any sort of danger. I'll ask again, why do you want her?"
"Just hand her over, you little bit--" the black-haired boy started, but was cut off by the other.
"She's been ours to begin with. We just 'lost' her for a little while. It's an unfortunate accident you're mixed up in all this, so, please, return her to us and we'll be on our way."
Taki said nothing, but looked down a little, clutching Hisa's sleeve. Hisa looked over at her, and then back at the two Lunar grunts. She knew Taki didn't want to go with them, and that they weren't to be trusted. Something was up here.
"I don't believe you. And even if what you're saying is true, it doesn't look like Taki wants to go with you. I don't want to make her do something she doesn't want to." Hisa replied, firmly.
"...You're making a big mistake." the brown-haired boy warned.
"Enough talk! Let's just take her already!" the black-haired grunt exclaimed.
"Come on, Taki. Let's go." Hisa said, taking Taki's hand and starting to walk away. The two grunts looked to eachother and nodded, turning around.
"Not so fast." the brown-haired grunt called. He then threw a pokeball, and a Houndour appeared from it. It growled at Hisa and Taki, and the two stopped walking, turning back to face them.
"A Houndour?" Hisa said, looking down at the Pokemon. It snarled viciously at her, showing it's sharp, white teeth.
"We told you to hand her over and no one would have to get hurt! Now we're going to take her by force!" the black-haired grunt threatened.
Hisa glared forward, standing in front of Taki protectively. "Oh yeah?" she challenged, taking out a pokeball of her own. She threw it, releasing Chikorita, who faced the Houndour, ready to fight.
"You really are an idiot." the black-haired boy scoffed.
"Houndour, bite." the brown-haired grunt ordered.
The Pokemon quickly obeyed, running at Chikorita and chomping down at it. Luckily, Chikorita managed to avoid the attack. It glared at Houndour, bracing itself for another attack.
"Great, Chikorita! Now tackle it!" Hisa called.
Chikorita ran at Houndour, tackling it, just barely making the hit. Houndour quickly jumped back, shaking off the tackle. It growled angrily forward, ready for it's next command.
If they weren't looking before, everyone on the Slateport beach's attention was now shifted to the Pokemon battle between Hisa and the Lunar grunts. No one had any idea what was going on or what to do, so they just stared on, watching.
Suddenly, Takahiro and Michiru, who had Mako-Skitty in her arms, came running down to the beach. They ran to Hisa and Taki, and stared at the Houndour and Lunar grunts controlling it.
"Who are these people? What's going on, Hisa?" Takahiro asked.
"I don't know! They say they're from this Team Lunar thing... They're trying to take Taki!" Hisa explained.
"Take Taki? No! They can't take the Mudkip Princess! I won't let them!" Michiru exclaimed, glaring at the grunts.
"They are? Team Lunar.. Never heard of them, but I'll bet they're something like that Team Aqua and Magma.." Takahiro replied, studying the two grunts.
"Team Aqua and Team Magma? Hahaha! Don't make us laugh! Those two have been falling apart for a long time now. Team Lunar is the future, and Team Lunar is what you should fear!" the black-haired boy laughed.
Takahiro and Michiru glared at the grunts. Michiru let Mako-Skitty out into the battlefield. Takahiro took out a pokeball and released Buizel, but at the same time, Torchic came out.
"Torchic! I didn't call for you!" Takahiro yelled.
"Toor!" it called, facing forward. The Houndour growled at it, and the little Torchic jumped back behind Eevee in fear.
"Haha! Let out as many Pokemon as you like! You weak amateurs are nothing compared to us!" the black-haired boy mocked, releasing a Muk, as the brown-haired grunt released a Slugma.
"Slugma, ember!"
"Houndour, ember!"
Each of the grunts called, and their two fire Pokemon shot small blasts of fire out at their opponents.
"Water gun, Buizel!" Takahiro ordered.
Buizel swiftly ran in front of Mako-Skitty and Chikorita. He shot out a blast of water, turning the two ember attacks to dust. However, this gave Muk the opportunity to slide over and throw itself onto Buizel, trapping it in it's gooey body.
"Buizel!" Hisa shrieked. "Chikorita, help it! Razor leaf!"
Chikorita sent a flow of sharp leaves at Muk, but they didn't seem to do much. Muk didn't seem phased, as the leaves sunk into it's goo. Mako-Skitty was next, running at it with special tail whip. Skitty's tail also sunk in the goop, and the cat Pokemon scrambled to get away, quickly jumping back beside Chikorita.
Takahiro glared down at the Muk, which still held his Buizel. He looked down to Torchic. The fire Pokemon was still cowering behind Eevee, not doing a thing. Takahiro kicked his Pokemon forward, into the battlefield. Torchic squeaked, jumping behind Chikorita, not wanting to be caught by Muk.
"Torchic, you little idiot, ember Muk! Come on!" Takahiro yelled.
"T-Tooor..."
"Torchic!"
"Please, Torchic.." Hisa begged.
Torchic looked up at her, then to Takahiro, and then over to Muk. He saw Buizel still struggling under it, and took a few small steps forward. The fire bird opened it's beak, and shot out the most powerful ember it could, hitting Muk head on. Muk let out a pained grunt, and backed up, releasing Buizel. Buizel ran back by the other Pokemon, and got back into battle stance; as Torchic quickly hopped back behind Chikorita.
Muk quickly shook off the fie, and was ready to fight again. The Lunar grunt's three Pokemon faced Chikorita, Buizel, and Mako-Skitty, ready to strike.
"They're tough.." Takahiro said to Hisa.
"Yeah.. But we can do this!" she assured, facing forward. "Chikorita, vine whip Houndour!" she instructed.
"Chika!" Chikorta nodded. Two vines shot out from it's neck, and smacked Houndour repeatedly.
"Houndour, ember!"
Houndour growled, clawing at the vines. It jumped back again, and shot out another ember at Chikorita.
Chikorita receded it's vines, and tried to dodge. It was almost successful, as it was just grazed by the fire. However, this was still enough to injure the grass Pokemon. Hisa looked down nervously at her Chikorita, hoping it was still okay to battle.

Above the Slateport Beach walked Ryoku. He had his sunglasses on, shielding his eyes from the bright sunlight. He was dressed in a black shirt with blue sleeves, and black somewhat baggy pants. The silver-haired boy heard some commotion down below, and turned his attention to the beach. There, he could make out some figures and Pokemon. He walked closer to the beach, trying to get a better look.
Ryoku pushed his sunglasses up, and immediately recognized the outfits of two of the battlers. They were from Team Lunar, no doubt. But, why were they there? Ryoku looked closer at their opponents, and recognized them as Hisa and the Mudkip-girl, along with the boy they were with and another girl. Ryoku's eyes widened, and his expression turned angry.
"Damn them.. Just what do they think they're doing? This is my mission.." he muttered to himself, clenching his fists.
