Chapter 5 - Akio VS Motonari, Dark VS Grass!
Akio and Oichi were quietly approaching the flag that they were assigned to get.
"Oichi, I'm going to stay in the shadows. Could you be the distraction so we can lure them out?" Akio whispered. Oichi nodded. She walked out into the open.
"Hm...I wonder where Motonari is, Jigglypuff." Oichi said, louder than her normal voice.
"Jiggly!" Jigglypuff said, playing along.
"Right here." A voice came from on top of a tree. Oichi saw Motonari on a vine that lowered him from the tree. "And I'm getting that flag." A storm of leaves appeared and Oichi could hardly see.
"Not if I can help it!" Akio shouted. Several balls of darkness were sent at Motonari. His Snivy, however, used Vine Whip to hit them away.
"You versus me, Akio. Whoever wins gets the flag." Motonari said.
"Alright!" Akio grinned.
Aiko, Hanbei and Mitsunari were walking around. Aiko sighed.
"What's wrong?" Mitsunari asked.
"There aren't any tamato berries." Aiko said.
"T-tamato berries? Why do you want those?" Hanbei asked.
"They taste good." Aiko replied. Hanbei and Mitsunari stared at her. Aiko's face brightened when she saw a berry tree. "Yes! Tamato Berries!" She plucked one off and took a bite. She swallowed and smiled. "It's been soooo long since I had anything spicy!"
"I take it you like spicy food?" Mitsunari raised his eyebrow.
"Like? I LOVE spicy food~!" Aiko said. She took another few bites of the berry, then dropped the remainder on the ground. "There."
"What are you doing?" Hanbei asked.
"I noticed that one of the Swaddles back there was eating a tamato berry. So if it's close by then it should be lured out." Aiko said.
"So we better go hide!" Mitsunari said. He ran behind a bush, the other two following. Sure enough, a Swaddle walked straight to the remainder of the tamato berry. It's partner came behind it.
"Swaddle! Don't run off like that!" He said. Aiko took this as her chance. She quietly snuck up a tree that was next to them and shot an icicle down. The man with the Swaddle looked around.
"Eve! Use Icy Wind!" Aiko ordered. The Glaceon jumped off the tree and attacked the Swaddle, instantly making it faint. Eve and Shiro high pawed but their celebration was short-lived as they were tied by string. Another Swaddle and it's partner were near them.
"Pichu, use Charm then ThunderShock!" Hanbei ordered. The small mouse pokemon ran near the Swaddle cutely distracting it. Pichu then had a devious look on it's face and shocked the Swaddle.
"Use X Scissor." Mitsunari ordered. His Scizor finished off the Swaddle with ease.
"Wow...you're too good...would you mind if we joined your army?" The men asked. Hanbei ran to the flag and it turned blue.
"Of course!" Aiko said, turning to Hanbei and Mitsunari, "And we better go check on the others." She jumped onto a platform of ice with her pokemon, grabbed Hanbei and Mitsunari onto it and they skated away.
Kiyomasa glanced up. The sky was getting cloudy. He looked at his Larvitar, who wasn't very comfortable with the chance of it raining.
"It's going to rain soon. We better hurry so Litwick and Larvitar aren't too uncomfortable." Kanbei said.
"Ack!" Masanori said. He had gone ahead and Kiyomasa ran toward him. He was in a battle with the warrior who had a Pansage.
"Litwick, use Ember. And finish him off quickly, in case it rains." Kanbei ordered. Litwick walked near the Pansage, then burned it. It ran around in circles, only making the fire worse. Eventually, it fell down and fainted.
"You're too good..." The man said, picking up Pansage. "Would you mind if I joined your army?"
"That would be awesome!" Masanori said. Kiyomasa remembered the flag then touched it, making it turn blue.
"We better go find the others." Kanbei said, looking up. "It'll rain soon."
Akio and Kuro were in the air, both using Dark Pulse. Motonari make a shield of leaves that instantly withered when it was touched by the move, while Snivy used Vine Whip. Oichi was watching from the side with Jigglypuff and Razor.
"Kuro, try-" Akio winced as Snivy's Razor Leaf cut his arm. "Try Iron Tail!" Kuro jumped up into the air and started to roll in a circle, making it look like Gyro Ball. He hit Snivy smack in the face. Then the rain started, but no one noticed except Oichi, Jigglypuff and Razor.
"Snivy, use Leaf Storm." Motonari ordered. Leaves surrounded the grass snake and were sent straight at Akio and Kuro.
"Dark Pulse!" Akio said, launching the move at the same time as his partner. Motonari dodged, but his partner wasn't as lucky, fainting.
"Hm...you beat Snivy. Good job. Now go and capture the flag, you deserved the win." He said. Akio walked to the flag and touched it, and the third and final flag turned blue.
"Akio! Did you get the flag?" A voice shouted. Akio realized that it was his twin.
"Yeah!" Akio replied.
"Akio, Aiko, you have a message." Oichi said. Beside her was a messenger, who seemed to have just arrived.
"Lord Akio and Lady Aiko, congratulations on conquering Greenleaf." The messenger said. The twins smiled. "Anyways, the reason I am here is because of the annual Warlord Festival. It is to be held in Aurora this year." And with that, the messenger left.
"What's the Warlord Festival?" Aiko and Akio asked.
"It's a festival that celebrates Warlords and Junior Warlords. Every time there is either a new Warlord or Junior Warlord, or one retires, there is a celebration in their home Castle. Since you two are the newest Warlords and Aurora had a warlord retire, the festival is going to be held in Aurora." Motonari said. "Sometimes Warlords don't come because they are busy. There is always a tournament between the warlords and everyone bets on who wins. Whoever wins the tournament is given a special prize-an egg. This year I heard the egg is going to be a Drifloon."
"Wow!" Akio said.
"Hey Aiko, Akio, I keep forgetting to tell you but, there's a rumor about a new female warlord in Avia who's also from the future. She's got psychic powers, and her pokemon are an Eevee, Lucario, Servine, Dragonair, and Ducklett. And Ducklett aren't usually found in Ransei, so it's possible that the rumor is fake. But we'll always find out tomorrow." Hanbei said.
"Eh? What does she look like?" Aiko and Akio demanded.
"She apparently has black hair and purple eyes. She's also short, and always has a bandage around her left hand for some unknown reason." Kiyomasa answered.
"The image I'm getting in my head..." Aiko's eyes widened. "Do you think..?" Akio nodded.
"It has to be her." He said. Everyone looked at them in confusion. "Anyways...let's go back to Aurora."
Aiko: Did ya have ta drag her into this story? -.-
Me: I'm sorry! But bringing her into this story was an idea I was thinking about all week~ ^^'
Akio: Geez *Sighs* Anyways, please vote! :3
