Okay, sorry about the wait. I had exams and such to do. Lets do this and hopefully finish the arc soon as well. Oh and as for Cerulean's layout in the anime, I have no idea so I made the gym downstairs and the Aquarium upstairs..as otherwise, it'd feel like the sisters were swimming in the aquarium water :/.
Cerulean Gym was definitely a sight to behold, it was clearly a water type gym with a giant image of Dewgong clear on the front of the dome-like structure. But Misty's eyes were on something else, a sign post that used to read 'Cerulean Gym. Gym Leaders:The Waterflower Sisters.' But now, it was a image of a water ballet and covered in times and days of the recent events. It made her grit her teeth as she tried to hold back a growl. 'They've turned my beautiful gym and aquarium into a ballet show hall!'
Luchia noticed the face on Misty and nodded to herself. She walked over and gently hugged her girlfriend from behind, shocking the orange-red head. ''Come on, lets go inside. We need to get Azurill back.'' She smiled as Misty looked at her. Misty managed to smile and nod. Luchia smiled as she gently spoke again. ''I'm sure you can't wait.'' She paused, turning to Sabrina. ''Lets go.''
Sabrina, who was watching, nodded. They went into the building, arriving in the aquarium section of the building. Misty looked around, kinda happy that they had at least not replaced the aquarium. She turned back to the girls. ''The gym floor is downstairs. We use the aquarium for entertainment mainly, that's why it's upstairs and the gym's downstairs. Plus, for the water Pokemon to have easy transport. We built a system that was easier to build leading downstairs then up.''
She walked over to the glass walls and looked inside, seeing all of the gym's water type Pokemon. She knew that Azurill wouldn't be there as the baby Pokemon could not swim as she wasn't a water type as of the present time and she was still a baby. ''My sister told me to meet her downstairs...that's where she'd give Azurill back to me.''
Luchia and Sabrina nodded in understanding as the group headed towards the staircase that lead downstairs and then walked through a set of double doors. The gym was massive, with a giant swimming pool in the center that was clearly once the battlefield. Misty's sisters were practicing water ballet in the pool and Azurill was sat to the side of the pool, on a chair. Misty noticed the baby Pokemon and ran over to her, picking the little blue Pokemon up. ''Oh, Azurill...'' She whimpered, hugging the Pokemon. She then looked at the pool and yelled. ''You three!'' When her sisters appeared above water. ''Don't you know that it's dangerous to leave a baby by water when it can't swim!''
Violet blinked a little, after the tomboy said that. ''Well, Misty. We were like waiting for you to come back to collect her. So we left her there as we waited. We didn't expect you to like get angry with us.''
Misty felt a nerve break in her body. ''Well if you three knew anything about Pokemon, I wouldn't have even had to come back because I would have known she was safe with you three!'' She was so frustrated, as she held her little Baby Pokemon close. She stormed off upstairs within seconds of yelling, as she didn't want to see her sisters at the moment.
Sabrina and Luchia looked at one another, before looking at the staircase. Sabrina gently placed a hand on the younger girl's shoulder. ''Go talk to her, I'll handle these three. Me and Raichu will teach them how to be real Pokemon Gym Leaders.'' Luchia smiled and nodded, before leaving the room via the staircase. Sabrina then turned to the three swimming girls and said, calling out Raichu. Her face holding a creepy smile. ''You three, it's time for a gym leader lesson.''
Upstairs, Misty rested her head against the aquarium. The cold glass seemed to burn her forehead, as she groaned to herself. ''They are so stupid...why do I have to be related to them...'' She was started to get feverish from her angry. Her fist shook in her fury, as she closed her in eyes. Suddenly, she felt a hand on a shoulder. She turned and saw Luchia behind her. ''Lucie...'' She whispered, with a bit of surprise evident.
The girl simply smiled and hugged the orange-haired girl. ''Calm down, Sabrina is sorting your sisters out. We'll know when she's done teaching them a lesson in being a gym leader.'' She got a nod from the other girl, before she choose to continue. ''So, you wanna introduce me to your little one.''
Misty nodded, as she choose to sit down. Luchia situated herself next to the girl, who gently placed Azurill on her lap. The Polka Dot Pokemon looked up at Misty, before bouncing on her tail with glee. Misty gently smiled, though tears whelmed in her eyes. ''Hey, Azurill...long t-time, no see...''
The Pokemon frowned at the sight of the orange-red head beginning to cry. Luchia gently focused her telepathy to hear the Pokemon's worries. ''Mommy, why are you crying? Did Azu do something wrong?''
She sighed, before gently translating it for Misty. The water-type specialist shook her head, drying her eyes gently. ''No, you did nothing wrong, Azurill. Mommy's just glad that your back with me.'' She gently hugged the normal/fairy type close, whispering. ''I'm never letting you leave my sight again...''
Suddenly, the sound of static filled their ears and the cries of 3 girls joined shortly after. Luchia sighed. ''Come on, Mist...it sounds like Sabrina's done.'' The young gym leader nodded and followed her girlfriend downstairs to where Sabrina and Raichu were standing confidently over the fainted water Pokemon that Daisy, Violet and Lily owned and 'trained'.
Violet was the first to speak. ''Who do you think you are, like. We know how to be gym leaders, so don't just drop in and decide to beat us. What even is that thing, like. It's not like any Raichu I've ever seen.''
''She's an Alolan Raichu, from the Alolan Isles. And you need to raise your Pokemon so you don't easily get beaten by their weaknesses. Most of my psychic types have moves to combat their weaknesses in dark and steel type Pokemon. My Raichu has Dig and was breed to know Disarming Voice. There are the lot of water types who can learn ground type moves. For example, the Mudkips from the Hoenn region getting access to Mud Bomb and Mud Shot before they evolve into their water/ground evolved forms.''
This made the three gym leaders go quiet, they hadn't exactly planned to get told off by another gym leader just like that. Sabrina then continued. ''In fact, I've heard that if you don't get the standard of this gym back up, they'll close it permanently.''
A gasp ran through the sisters. Daisy slowly stood up and recalled her Pokemon. ''Well, I don't think we can have that happen. We'll start to take this more seriously, we promise.'' A pair of nods came from the other two as they too stood up and recalled their exhausted Pokemon.
''You better, I don't want to have to go out of my way to come here again. Me and Raichu have decided what we're going to do and we don't want you three sisters getting in our way.'' With that said, Sabrina turned to the other girls and made a nicer smile. ''Lets get back to the others, they're probably waiting for us.''
Misty and Luchia nodded in unison as they left the gym, hoping not to have to return again. With their newfound friend in Azurill, they decided to continue their journey with the next stop being Celadon City and the grass-type gym for their friends to battle.
Again, sorry for the wait. This chapter, I had almost forgotten about until recently. Hope you enjoyed, however, and next chapter will be up soon as I can. Surprisingly, I didn't reference Sylveon or Lucario in this chapter...huh, that's bizarre since I know I alluded to something a few chapters ago. But oh well, it'll become part of a chapter in the future. See you then.
