Chapter VIII: Stolen Goods and Victories
Here we are in this heated gym battle of Brendan's. We have Roxanne, the lesbian gym leader from Rustboro City vs. Brendan Mable, the stupid Pokemon trainer from Goldenrod City in Johto. Now just because Brendan has the advantage, doesn't mean that that gives him the experience necessary to defeat a woman like Roxanne. But he's a rookie, and it'll be interesting to see what happens in the fight…
"Alright Roxanne," Brendan said. "Me and Muddy are about to take you out," Brendan said in an arrogant attitude.
"Are you so sure on that Mini-Maple," Roxanne asked in a mocking tone.
"Don't call me mini, you stupid lesbo," Brendan said offended.
"What ever mini Norman," Roxanne said while grinning.
"I'll show you," Brendan said silently. "Go Muddy, use Water Gun!" Brendan yelled.
"Nosepass, use Sandstorm," Roxanne yelled. The nose on this grey Pokemon glowed blue, and a big sandstorm came.
"Don't worry Muddy," Brendan yelled to his Pokemon. "If you can't see Nosepass, then Nosepass can't see you either! So use your water gun in every direction!" Brendan yelled. Mudkip nodded at what Brendan said (even though he doesn't know where he is), and kept blowing water in every direction.
"Nosepass doesn't need to see Mudkip to find him," Roxanne yelled in the sandstorm. "Don't forget, Nosepass's nose is a natural compass, and when you find Mudkip, strike it with Zap Cannon!"
"ZAP CANNON!" Brendan yelled in confusion, shock, and worry mixed onto his face. "Mudkip, the storm will die out soon, so keep running around, use Water Gun everywhere, and don't let that thing find you," Brendan yelled out loud with no real strategy. So even though Mudkip couldn't be seen by anyone right now, it was looked retarded by running in circles, blasting Water Gun at Roxanne, May, Brendan, and Nosepass. What was bad about the Water Gun hitting Nosepass, was that now it could find them a lot easier. While Mudkip was running around, it hit something big, hard, and gray, and it didn't look like the other rocks that he ran into.
"Mudkip mud (oh spit)," Mudkip said while trying to run away. Nosepass's nose glowed yellow, and shot a huge ray of electricity at Mudkip. Brendan heard a zapping noise, and he assumed that Nosepass found Muddy.
"Muddy," Brendan yelled. "Don't get hit by Nosepass's electricity," Brendan yelled. Mudkip dodged, and hit behind big boulders, and when a boulder that Mudkip was behind was zapped, he moved on, because the boulder exploded with electricity mixed with rocks going everywhere. This continued to happen for quite a while longer until the sandstorm calmed down, then stopped. When it stopped completely, the scene was very mixed up; we had Roxanne giving May a massage, Brendan was looking in the mirror and combing sand out of his snow white hair, the workers were talking to Nosepass, and Muddy was juggling three little rocks with his tail. After a few more seconds, Nosepass and Roxanne ran back to their positions in the battlefield, May wanted another massage, Brendan threw the mirror and shoved the comb in his pocket, the workers ran to the back room, and Mudkip slapped the rocks away and got into a battle position.
"What in the hell was that," Roxanne yelled.
"That's what I want to know," Brendan said. "Only stupid cartoons do random moments like that. This is an anime; we don't do stupid random moments like that!"
"Who gave me that massage," May asked.
"Who cares," Roxanne said quickly. "Let's just continue the battle, and pretend that none of the last 10 seconds just happened.
"Right," everyone in the gym said.
"Okay," Brendan said. "Use Water Gun Muddy," Mudkip fired a strong Water Gun attack at Nosepass," Brendan said.
"Counter with Thunder Wave," Roxanne said. Nosepass's nose lit yellow again, and fired an attack that looked just like Zap Cannon. The attacks collided, and then an explosion came. Brendan and Mudkip ducked, and a shower of little electric bolts and water came. Everyone got hit with something (except May), but the Pokemon were still able to battle. "Now use Tackle," she said. Nosepass came and tackled Muddy to a boulder. And it looked like Muddy was out, but he stood up.
"Alright Muddy," Brendan said while smiling at his first Pokemon. All of a sudden, some random guy came out of the back room.
"Sorry Roxanne, I was just asleep." The guy said. He was wearing a teal shirt with a Pokeball symbol at the top corner of it, along with black pants, black shoes, and he was holding two tiny flags in each hand; in his left hand was a red one, the other hand had a green one.
"Who the hell are you," May asked while looking at him.
"I'm an official Pokemon judge," he said. "You can't battle without me saying who can't battle or who wins."
"We just been battling for a few minutes already," Brendan said.
"Yeah," Roxanne started. "You're unneeded at the moment. So, you're fired," she said while glaring at him.
"But, I'm here aren't I," he asked.
"Listen," May said. "Roxanne and Brendan don't need an irresponsible judge who sleeps in the middle of a battle that had about 4 explosions, and a sandstorm. You're one hell of a sleeper if you can sleep through that," May said.
"Yeah, listen to the babe," Roxanne said. May got a look of uncertainty on her face, and then just sat down. The judge guy left with his head down, and now the rest of the battle was commencing.
"Anyway," Brendan said. "Use…um…damn what is it called," Brendan wondered remembering a move that Muddy could do, so said his Pokedex.
"Whatever, Nosepass, use Thunder Wave," Roxanne yelled. Nosepass shot another attack of yellow electricity to Mudkip. Brendan didn't know how in the hell this happened, but he actually got an idea to win!
"Muddy," Brendan yelled in an arrogant tone. "Dodge (A/N: That wasn't the plan yet)!" he yelled. Mudkip did as so. "Now take that large boulder over there and chuck it at Nosepass," Brendan yelled. Mudkip grabbed a large boulder with a constipated look on his face, then threw it at Nosepass with all it had.
"Nosepass, guard yourself with Zap Cannon," Roxanne yelled. This was just what Brendan hoped for.
"Thanks Roxanne, but I wanted you to do that," Brendan said arrogantly.
"How," she asked. When the boulder was just one foot away from hitting, Nosepass zapped it with Zap Cannon. The electricity backfired, and shot Nosepass with it, along with a bunch of tiny rocks.
"The electricity of your Nosepass's attack hit something too close Roxanne, therefore the electricity hurt your Pokemon, and Muddy doesn't have a scratch," Brendan said arrogantly while pointing to Muddy.
"Dammit," Roxanne said while looking at her Pokemon. Nosepass now had a few jolts of electricity come out of him, and it looked as though the compass Pokemon was paralyzed.
"Muddy," Brendan said. "Now I remember the attack name. So use Whirlpool!" Brendan yelled. Mudkip breathed in, and shot out water that was spinning in a circular formation, and got a direct hit on Nosepass.
"NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEPPPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS (bull shit)!" Nosepass yelled in pain. And since he had jolts of electricity on him, getting hit by a big jet of water didn't help him. He fell over, and fell before Roxanne. Then the random guy from before came inside and pointed the green flag to Brendan.
"Nosepass is unable to battle," he said. "The winner is Mudkip and his trainer Brendan," he said while running out.
"Alright Mudkip," Brendan yelled. "I get some stuff, and I don't get kicked in the nuts!"
"Go Brendan," May said while clapping. Roxanne returned her Pokemon silently, pulled out 1500P, a light brown CD, and a yellow looking badge (A/N: I can't explain what that badge looks like, it's weird), and handed all of it to Brendan.
"Here's 1500P, TM 39 Rock Tomb, and you're Stone Badge." Roxanne said proudly. "The badge lets you use HM01 Cut, and your new TM lets you decrease your opponents speed." She said. Brendan grinned; put his new badge in the badge case his dad gave him, and returned Muddy.
"Thanks Roxanne," Brendan said while he and May left the gym. After leaving the gym, down the road from where May and Brendan were at, they saw a Team Aqua member run past with something in his hands, and the man in the green suit from Petalburg Woods tried to run to him, but he stopped in the middle of the road. May and Brendan decided to run up to him and see what was up.
"No, don't take my Goods," he yelled while falling onto his knees. May and Brendan got to the man, and he took a look at the two. "My Goods," he said to them. "They took my Goods, and I need them back. May you two please…"
"I'll get them," Brendan said determinedly. "I'll get your Goods back." Brendan said.
"What about me," May asked.
"You stay here, no go to the Pokemon Center and stay there until I get back," Brendan said.
"Are you stupid," May said. "It's sunset, and if you go alone, you'll get hurt out there," May said.
"Well," Brendan started. "I can take it…"
"Oh, so are you saying that I can't take it!" May yelled.
"Yes," Brendan yelled. "And I want you to be safe and out of harms way," Brendan yelled to her. May had a shocked look on her face, then Brendan turned and ran the direction that he saw the Aqua member run.
"God dammit Brendan," May said while Brendan was running in the distance. "Why won't that retard let me help him…?"
"It's because," the Devon Researcher said while standing up. "He wants to impress you. If he can prove to you that he's tough, then he thinks that that'll get your attention.
"He always has my attention." May said.
"Oh, well that and he's a male. Most males want to prove that they're men, and if you can't let him do that, then what else can he become," the Devon Researcher said.
"Then why don't you go get your own Goods," May asked dully.
"Well, I don't have the guts to go after them." he said nervously.
"More like you don't have the balls," May said while looking at Brendan run in the sunset after the Aqua member…
May decided to listen to Brendan's words of not going with him after the Team Aqua member. But when she got back to the Pokemon Center, she decided to go to the Trainers School that was right across the street from it, because she knew that her little brother was there. Walking inside it, May saw an old man writing something on the chalk board, which was what looked like tomorrow's lessons or something.
"May I help you," the man asked.
"Um…hi," May started. "Um…I just wanted to check out this school, my little brother Max Birch comes here…"
"Ah Max," he said while looking up into the sky. "The son of the famous Pokemon professor here in Hoenn." He said. "I can just see him now, raising his hand when I ask for all of the possible evolutions for Eevee, or him finishing all of the pop quizzes first, or asking the class on every bug Pokemon discovered and he answers it. But being honest, he is a real smart ass at times." He said.
"I hear that," May said while giving him a high five.
"Here, I want you to have this," he said while going into a drawer and pulling out what looked like a claw of a bird. "It's a Quick Claw, I usually slap my student who are being bad with it, but there's always just slapping them." he said while chuckling and handing the Quick Claw to her. "You can give this to any of your Pokemon, and it will occasionally let them go first in battle, even if their slower than your opponent and their Pokemon," he said.
"Thank you," May said while three kids came into the room from the door behind them. Out of the three kids that came out, one of them was the most familiar to May. He had black hair, big glasses, and big brown eyes. He was wearing a green shirt with a white collar, brown shorts, green and black shoes, and a yellow backpack was on his back.
"Professor," one of the boys said while running up to him. "Professor, Max says that an Ultra Ball has a better catching rate than a Great Ball! Tell him how wrong he is!"
"I'm not wrong," Max yelled. "If you listened to the professor's class last week, he clearly said that Ultra Balls are better for catching Pokemon than Great Balls!"
"No you have that mixed up," the other kid said. "Great Balls catch Pokemon more than Ultra Balls!"
"Well, lets go to the book then," the professor said. Then he bent down to May and asked if he could see her Quick Claw, for one more round. Since May wanted to see this, she smoothly handed the claw to him without the kids knowing.
"Hmm…" the Professor said while pulling out the book. It says that The Ultra ball was created having in mind making a better ball than the Great Ball. With its greater capture rate, it is much little more likely to capture a strong Pokemon than with the Pokeball or the Great Ball." He said while glaring at the other two boys, then pulled out the claw. There was a flash of something that looked like the same color as the claw, and both of the boys were holding their shoulders in pain. Then he handed May the claw from behind his back, and the boys left to help their shoulders.
"And what do you know," Max said while looking up at his older sister. "It's May, how are you doing," he asked when they had a short hug.
"Oh, I'm fine," May said while smiling.
"Why don't we have small talk out in the backyard of the school," the professor suggested.
"Okay," May and Max said in unison.
With Brendan
"Whismur, the Whisper Pokemon. Normally, Whismur's voice is very quiet-it's very audible even if ones paying close attention. However, if this Pokemon senses danger, it starts crying at earsplitting volume."
"Shroomish, the Mushroom Pokemon. Shroomish live in damp soil in the dark depths of the forest. They are often found keeping still under fallen leaves. This Pokemon feeds on compost that's made of fallen, rotten leaves."
"Cascoon, the Cocoon Pokemon. The evolved form of Wurmple, Cascoon makes its protective cocoon by wrapping its entire body with a fine silk from its mouth. Once the silk goes around its body, it hardens. This Pokemon prepares for evolution inside its cocoon.
"Nincada, the Trainee Pokemon. Nincada lives underground for many years in complete darkness. This Pokemon absorbs nutrients from the roots of trees. It stays motionless as it waits for evolution."
"Marill, the Aquamouse Pokemon. The evolved form of Azurill, Marill's oil-filled tail acts much like a life preserver. If you see just its tail bobbing on the water's surface, it's a sure indication that this Pokemon is diving beneath the water to feed on aquatic plants."
"Machop, the Superpower Pokemon. Machop's muscles are special-they never get sore no matter how much they are used in exercise. This Pokemon has the sufficient power to hurl a hundred adult humans."
Those are all of the new Pokedex entries that Brendan Maple received while battling a bunch of Pokemon trainers on his quest to receive the Devon Goods. But now we go into the present.
"Okay Monkeyman!" Brendan yelled, now finish this one off with fury swipes," Brendan yelled. Slakoth jumped into the air, and continually scratched the Shroomish of the 6th trainer that he saw. Shroomish flew over to the girl, and had all of the circles in its eyes. The girl retuned her Pokemon and handed Brendan 180P.
"You're a good battler," she said.
"Whatever," Brendan said while yelling. After a few more seconds, he saw a nice house right beside a rock tunnel.
"Well hello there sir," the man in front of the house said.
"Hi," Brendan said. "Um…is this your house," Brendan asked.
"Well, actually, it's the Tunneler's House. You can come and rest here when you need to." He said.
"Thanks, but no thanks. I have to get something that someone stole." Brendan said.
"Well, there were some guys wearing blue attires followed by red attires earlier, they went into the Rusturf Tunnel right there," he said while pointing to the big tunnel beside the house.
"Rusturf Tunnel," Brendan asked in confusion.
"Yeah, it links Rustboro City, and Verdanturf Town. Rusturf Tunnel," the man said.
"Okay, thank you," Brendan said while speeding off to the tunnel. Outside the tunnel, was an old bald man who looked devastated.
"What's wrong with you," Brendan asked.
"Oh, my Peeko has been stolen from me." The old man said.
"Peeko, what in Suicune's name is a Peeko," Brendan asked in complete confusion.
"Peeko is the nickname of my Wingul, you retard." The old man said.
"Well, I didn't know you old fart," Brendan said. "I guess I'll have to get your Wingull back, huh," Brendan asked.
"Please," the old man asked.
"Whatever, sure," Brendan said while going into the tunnel to get the damn Goods and Peeko. Inside the cave, there were a lot of yelling between people, and he had a feeling that it was just who he expected. He took a look at who it was, and he saw six men; three in blue and white, and another three in red and black. One of the Magma members had a little cage with a seagull looking thing in it.
"That must be that old guy's Peeko." Brendan said quietly to himself.
"Give us the Goods, Fish Boy," one of the Magma members said while pointing a handgun to the Aqua members.
"Fk you," one of the Aqua members said. The Magma member fired the gun, and since he held the guns sideways (A/N: like the people on the streets hold it), the bullet went passed the Aqua members head, and sped passed the space between Brendan's shoulder and ear. Brendan saw how close that the bullet almost hit him, and he was about to yell at them, but he saw that they weren't the same members from the forest. Brendan didn't know if they were stupid like the last ones, but he wasn't going to gambol with that theory. But on the steps on the other side from were he was, he saw a Pokeball, so, slowly and silently, Brendan snuck to the other side of the tunnel where the Pokeball was, and put it in his bag. Then Brendan wanted to make an entrance. So he snuck onto one of the rocks, and maneuvered himself to the behind the Magma members (they had the gun, so why not try to get them first), and jumped down behind them.
"Hey," Brendan said. "I want those Goods too," he said. "So I tell you what, I'll battle each and every one of you guys to get those goods." All of the members looked at each other, and they all either pulled out a handgun, or an Uzi, and pointed it at Brendan.
"Like we need to listen to a punk kid likes yous," One of the Aqua members said in an Italian accent. Now it was time to gambol; but Brendan knew that he'd have to do something to get them off guard somehow, and grinned to himself on his little plan…
To May
"So, is my geeky little brother passing the 5th grade here," May asked while grinning. Max's face turned red, and turned to yell at his older sister.
"I hope you know that I have all A's at this school, and they exceed grades over ninety-eights!" Max yelled.
"Which proves my point that you're a geek," May said while grinning again.
"Well," Max said while embarrassed that his older sister outsmarted him. But at least his teacher wasn't out here so Max could say something.
"So where's your boyfriend at," he asked. "You know the one named Brendan. Mom and Dad told me all about him, and I've noticed that he isn't here with you. Did you nag him to death, or was it that he saw an STD on you when you were about to fk!" Max asked while having a very wide grin. Now it was May's turn to turn red, only she turned about 30 shades of it. Then she got a mad face while still as red as an apple (can get).
"I DO NOT FK BRENDAN!" she yelled. "AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION, HE LEFT TO FETCH SOME DAMN GOODS FOR THE DEVON RESEARCHER. AND I DON'T HAVE AN STD!" she yelled in rage. She instantly calmed down when she looked around her and saw that a bunch of people were staring at her with uncertainty, including the teacher, who just came out of the school with little sandwiches and tea. He was still looking at May in uncertainty while laying the little snack on the table in front of the seats that they were sitting in.
"Count this as a slight dinner," the teacher said while trying to keep cool and forget about what May just yelled. "Mind you, it is getting slightly dark out here, what time is it," May looked at her PokeGear.
"It's 8:30 p.m." May said.
"So May, did you battle Roxanne today," Max asked in curiosity while taking a sip of tea.
"No, I'm not taking the Hoenn League Challenge," May said. Max spit his tea at the teacher. But the teacher didn't care, because he looked at May in wonder.
"WHAT!" the teacher and Max yelled at the same time. The teacher still had a bunch of tea dripping from his face down to his shirt.
"I'm training to take the Pokemon Contest in Lilycove City," May said. She was pretty amused on how their faces were.
"You mean Pokemon Contests, in Lilycove City," the teacher said while whipping the noticing that Max spit tea on him and glared at Max.
"Contests," May asked.
"Yes," the teacher said. "If you do the Contests, you have to do all kinds of Contests, in all of these different ranks. And really have to be ready for them," he said.
"Ha," Max said. "If you just took the challenge, all you do is…"
"Max, shut the hell up, no one asked you," the teacher and May said in unison. Then they just laughed at what happened. Max just got a red face, and looked down.
"Anyway," May said. "But I'm training to be the best Coordinator that I can be," May said.
"Have you got the moves down packed?" The teacher asked.
"Well, I have some that I'm practicing right now," May said while taking a bite out of her sandwich. "My Pokemon and I…that's right, my Pokemon," May said while pulling out her Pokeballs. "Come on out guys," she said while white lights came out of the balls and formed a Torchic jumping in the air, a Wurmple who laid down for a nap, a Taillow that stared at Wurmple hungrily, and a Skitty that was chasing it's tail around. Max took a look at his older sister's Pokemon, then just shook his head.
"Your Pokemon suck," he said while grinning. May took out her Quick Claw, and striked Max with it. "OW!" he yelled. "I never was attacked by that thing…wait a minute, May how did you get a Quick Claw?
"I gave it to her," the teacher said.
"Ow," Max said while rubbing his chest in pain. After another couple of minutes, it was now starting to get really dark outside.
"Well, I think we should head on inside," the teacher said. "And you need to get to the Pokemon Center."
"Okay then," May said.
"Bye sis," Max said while giving her a hug.
"Bye Max," she replied. "Don't hump the books that you love, okay," she said while leaving the school. She heard Max's yelling, but shook it off, and headed next door to the Pokemon Center. She went up to her room, watched some T.V. until 10 o'clock, then changed to and got to bed.
"I do hope Brendan is okay," May thought in worry. She thought of him and how he wanted to "impress her..."
"Are you stupid," May said. "It's sunset, and if you go alone, you'll get hurt out there," May said.
"Well," Brendan started. "I can take it…"
"Oh, so are you saying that I can't take it!" May yelled.
"Yes," Brendan yelled. "And I want you to be safe and out of harms way," Brendan yelled to her. May had a shocked look on her face, then Brendan turned and ran the direction that he saw the Aqua member run…
"Brendan's so damn arrogant, and smart, knowing him I'm sure he'd use one of his stupid talents to get him out of trouble." May said outloud before turning to fall asleep.
With Brendan
"So he says, I'll shoot one of you," Brendan said while smiling along with the Team Aqua and Team Magma members. "But then he points his gun at the Cascoon," Brendan started to laugh. He shook off his laughter and continued the joke. "And he pulls the trigger on his Silcoon," Brendan said while laughing even more. All the members of both Teams started to laugh. Since they were stupid enough to laugh with their eyes closed, Brendan took the dropped Devon Goods and put them in his bag. Then he even took two of the guns and went back into his normal position.
"Well, it was awesome joking around with you guys," Brendan said while shaking each of their hands. "I'll see you later," Brendan said while turning to leave. "Oh, and may I have that Wingull there, the old fart out there kept bitching at me about it.
"Yeah sure, have the stupid bird," one of the Aqua members said. "I was going to train it aggressively and stuff, but it looks to weak to do anything."
"Thanks," Brendan said while picking it up. "Once again, it was really awesome fellas," he said while turning to run.
"Peace out Brendan," one of the Magma members said. Brendan left the tunnel, and he saw that the old fart was still out there.
"Here's your bird," Brendan said while giving the man the cage and pulling out his Pokedex.
"Wingull, the Seagull Pokemon," the Pokedex started. "Wingull has the habit of carrying prey and valuables in its beak and hiding them in all sorts of locations. This Pokemon rides the winds and flies as if it were skating across the sky." The Pokedex said.
"Oh thank you," the old man said. "I must repay you somehow. Um…oh, I can suck your nuts!" he said.
"What!" Brendan asked with a look of shock on his face.
"Relax, I'm just pulling your leg." The old man said. "My name is Mr. Briney. I own a sea cottage in Route 104 South to let you know where I live. If you ever need to go sailing someplace, just come to my cottage, and I'll sail you where ever you need to go," he said while releasing his Wingull out of the cage and throwing the cage aside.
"Sure, thank you," Brendan said. Then, the two heard voices in the cave.
"That punk stole the Goods!" one of them said.
"Lets go get 'em," another voice said. Mr. Briney and Brendan looked at each other, and then ran in opposite directions. Brendan ran straight to the Tunneler's Rest Stop, and when he got inside, he saw that all of the men where about to get into bed.
"Well," the man from before said. "Look who it is, it's the kid from before," he said.
"Look," Brendan said. Its awfully late, and I need a place to sleep…"
"Why do you think we're here," another one of the men said. "Come on in, there's a bed over there you can use," he said.
"Thanks, Brendan said. He headed on over to the bed, changed his clothes, and put all of his stuff under it. Brendan looked up into the ceiling.
"I would call May, but she might of already went to bed, and I know if I called her this late, she'd threaten to kick me in the nuts," Brendan said while thinking about May and the couple times she said that she'd kick him really hard in the nuts. He smiled to himself and turned to fall asleep. But before he did that, he heard the Aqua and Magma Teams voices outside saying that Brendan probably went to Rustboro City, and went to look for him there…
Another Chapter that I didn't like, but I don't know your opinions. Did you like it, hate it, wanna piss on this chapter…well, don't do that. Please review, and tell me what you thought about it.
