Me, Myself, and May
Chapter 4: Contest
Sorry for the wait guys!
Pokémon is owned by Nintendo:(
On with the Story!
(o^-^o)
Nuvema Town
"Here are your Pokédexes and your contest passes. Thank you! The contest starts right here in Nuvema Town, in 3 hours. Good luck!"
"Thank you Nurse Joy!" The two coordinators replied in unison.
"And you should know, that in Unova, each contest has a twist. But since this in Nuvema Town, and the first contest in the region, it's all normal for now. But be prepared!"
"Alright!"
And then Ash popped the inevitable question. "Can we eat?"
Nurse Joy replied to this enthusiastically, "There's a great restaurant just across from the Pokémon lab. If you like Italian food, then prepare to be blown away."
"Thank you Nurse Joy!" The group replied in unison.
The group went down to the restaurant, which was owned by none other Cedric Juniper.
The group got seated, and thanks to the fantastic service, the waiter was there in the blink of an eye.
"What would you like?"
The gang decided to order the Fatman Challenge. It consisted of every pasta dish, 5 appetizers of choice, and 3 jumbo desserts. Luckily, drinks were included. Plus, if they ate it all, the food was free!
Paul smirked and said, "Hmph. Mr. and Mrs. Snorlax actully have a use for their eating."
This got a chuckle from Dawn, which bothered Gary. He thought to himself, "Why am I feeling like this? Do I...like her?"
When the food came, even the waiter was blown away. With the speed of a Ninjask, the couple swallowed the food, leaving just an appetizer, 2 pasta dishes and half a desert for the rest of the group.
The two rubbed their bellies and burped.
Dawn just sighed and said to Paul, "Snorlax is an understatement."
"Got that right." And they both laughed, which mad Gary angry again.
The group finished their food, and headed to the Contest Hall.
(o^-^o)
Contest Hall
"Piplup, spot light!" The tiny penguin popped out of it's Pokéball, and spun in midair, surrounded by bubbles.
"Now use Whirpool, followed by Bubblebeam!"
A vortex of water grew above Piplup, and shot out to the middle of the field. A torrent of bubbles then surrounded the whirlpool, and spun around creating a beautiful effect, where the bubbles rose to the ceiling and popped in a rainbow color.
"Now, Surf, inside the whirlpool!"
Piplup started gliding around in the spinning water, but then jumped into the air.
"Now to finish it! Mist, then Drill Peck!'
A white cloud surrounded the penguin, who started to spin. The two attacks attracted all of the bubbles to Piplup, and he looked like a rocket surrounded by bubbles. He easily dispersed the whirlpool, and ended the dazzling appeal.
After the comments, May was up.
"Blaziken, take the stage."
Her trusty fire chicken took a mighty, yet beautiful, stance.
"Blaze Kick, both legs, and run around!"
The croud, confused at first, but saw what he was doing.
"Now jump, and use Mega Kick to lift the fire of the ground. Follow up with Fire Blast!"
Blaziken jumped sky-high, and used Mega Kick. She came crashing down, and the sheer force of the kick lifted the star emblem of the ground. A blast of fire shot at it, and a unique pattern was formed.
"Time to finish up! Brave Bird into the flames, and fly around! End with Overheat!"
Blaziken shot into the flames, a blue bullet, and became surrounded in beautiful blue flames. She flew around, sending a burst of heat at every viewer, before landing. It ended with an all out burst of flames, scattering in all directions, before small embers rained down, ending the beautiful performance.
"That was beautiful!" Ash said.
"I liked Dawn's more, THAT was a great performance." Gary shot back.
Now it was Paul's turn to get angry. "Who does Oak think he is, complementing my girl like that."
"Hey Oak, we need to talk, meet me outside. Now."
Gary went outside, but the two would sadly miss the battle.
Vivian announced that since the author was lazy, and will skip to the final battle.
"And we have to amazing Coordinators! May Maple, from Littleroot Town, and Dawn Berlitz from Twinleaf Town."
"I'm not losing against Dawn!"
"Don't count on it!"
"Good Luck! Venusaur, take the stage!"
"Pachirisu, spotlight!"
"Let's go! Sludge Bomb!" Multiple brown balls of dirt were hurled at Pachirisu.
"Discharge! Destroy them!" A bolt of blue lightning easily disintegrated the attack, causing May to lose some points. "Now, use Quick Attack to get in close, the use Super Fang!"
The squirrel dashed towards the dinosaur like Pokémon, and readied it's fangs.
"Stand still Venusaur." The squirrel continued to approach the larger enemy. "Now! Grab it with your vines and use Toxic!"
"Oh no! Get outta there Pachirisu!"
But it was too late. Strong vines held on to Pachirisu, and transferred a dangerous purple energy. Now, it would constantly be taking damage.
"Use Super Fang, and Spark at the same time!"
The teeth of the squirrel grew large and but down on Venusaur, and at the same time, it became covered in electricity.
The attack took a chunk of points away from May, but the toxic was slowly dropping Dawn's points as well.
"Quick, Giga Drain, then toss her up and use Sunny Day!"
Pachirisu, still held onto by the vines, got it's life force sucked away by a green energy. It was then flung high into the air, and it came down scorching due to the power of the sun.
"That's it! Use Spark once more, boosted by the sun! Solar Volt!"
The squirrel came down like a missile, covered in flames and crackling with electricity.
"Catch him in your bulb!" Venusaur looked confused at this command, but followed anyway. Pachirisu landed in there, and couldn't get out.
"No Pachirisu!"
"Nice try Dawn, but now it's over! Petal Beam!"
An original attack made with Petal Dance and Solar Beam shot out of the bulb of Venusaur. A giant beam of light, surrounded by pink petals shot up like a geyser, with the poor squirrel in it. That, along with the toxic, would surely be enough to end this fight.
"And the winner of this contest is May Maple! It is my honor to give her, the Nuvema Town ribbon!"
"Thanks for a good battle May!"
"You too! Sorry about your Pokémon."
"No need to worry!"
"The two coordinators walked out togther, and smiled at the crowd, and they couldn't be happier.
(o^-^o)
Meanwhile
"What do you think you're doing Oak!" Paul shoved Gary into a tree.
"What do you mean?"
"Why were you hitting on my girl?"
"You mean Dawn?"
"Yes! I laid my eyes on her way before you did."
"So what!"
"So back off! She's mine!"
"Who says I can't like her too?"
"I say that!"
"Well then I guess were love rivals."
"Hmph. You're to weak to be my rival. Only Ketchum matches my skills."
"Electivire, show him he's wrong."
"I've been waiting to do this for a long time. Magmortar, standby for battle."
"Electivire, start things off with an Earthquake." He stomped on the ground and cracks headed for the fire type.
"Use a flamethrower to boost yourself up." He listened and used to flames like a jet to propel him into the sky. "Now, use Fire Blast!"
"Meet him right on with Thunder." A star of fire shot out of the sky, and a bolt of lightning met it in mid air. The two attacks collided and a smokescreen was formed.
"As soon as you hear him hit the floor, rush forward with a Thunder Punch!" One thud later, and the electric type rushed at Magmortar with a sparking fist.
"Counter with Flamethrower!" A burst of flames shot out of the cannon on his arm and were aimed straight at Electivire
"Not so fast! Cover your other hands in the fire! Double Punch!" Electivire obeyed and now two elemental punches were headed straught for Marmortar's face.
"Thunderbolt and Flamethrower, at the same time." One bolt of lightning hit the ignited fist, and the blazing hot stream of flame hit the crackling fist.
"You forgot something! My Electivire has Motor Drive!" The lightning boosted the already lightning fast speed of the humanoid like Pokémon and in the blink of an eye, the large fire type received a one-two punch right to the face. Even better, the Thunder Punch paralyzed him.
"Hah! Not so tough now Paul!"
'I would shut up if I were you. Look at your Electivire." It was on the floor, holding his charred hand in pain.
"But how...Flame Body!"
"Exactly. Now! Sunny Day, followed by a Psychic boosted Fire Blast!" The sun's rays got intense, and the normal star shaped fire morphed into a splitting image of Magmortar's face due to the Psychic. Electivire got blown back to Gary.
"Don't back down! Jump and use Wild Charge!"
"Counter with Flare Blitz." Electivire looked like the God of Lightning as he shot down like a bullet towards Magmortar. On the other side of the battle field, the God of Hell appeared. Instead of the normal blue flames, the flames were purple and devilish. The two Pokémon collided, and to Paul's surprise, Electivire was the one who won this bout.
"But how.."
"Catch."
"This is...a Rawst Berry!"
"I came prepared. And now, it's over! Tri-Punch!" The left fist of Electivire became incased in an icy, light blue aura. Vapor was rising from it, due to the heat from the sun. This was the freezing element of Ice. His right arm became covered in a blazing, red aura. The flames of this punch were boosted thanks to Paul. This was the burning element of Fire. His tail then combined into one huge tail, and resembled a fist. A yellow aura surrounded this makeshift hand, and it was crackling from the sheer power of Electivire. This was the stunning power of Electricity.
"Now charge at him! Use Giga Impact to add more power!" Three phantom fists materialized in front of the Pokémon, and he charged quickly with a purple aura around him.
"Magmortar, don't back down! Use our own variation! Tri-Beam, with a Hyper Beam boost!" Magmortar's left cannon shot out a stream of flames. This searing attack was Flamethrower, and it seemed to melt the air as it shot forward. From the right cannon, came a current of electricity. The attack, Thunderbolt, contained over 9 million volts! The Solar Beam came straight from the sun itself. The green laser illuminated through it's path of attack, and the three attacks came together in a swirling beam of energy. The beam then almost tripled in size, and got an orange glow due to the Hyper Beam.
"Run straight into it! Don't stop till you hit him!"
"Electivire could not let his master down. He fought through the intense pain the attack bought, and charged right into Magmortar, slamming all of his fists into him, at maximum power. But that was not enough. Both of the attacks dispersed, and both Pokémon were still standing. They were panting and struggling to stand, but they refused to lose. No way would they let a love interest get away. They reciprocated their master's feelings towards Dawn, but to one of her Pokémon. Yes, they both wanted Lopunny, who had just recently evolved. Luckily, she was over Pikachu.
"I admit. You were a formidable opponent. But this ends here!"
"I agree. It's time that I finish this battle Paul!"
"Magmortar, time to go all out! Overheat! Full power!"
"Thunder, full power! Then get behind for a Brick Break!"
The two attacks clashed and created another smokescreen. But Gary was ready this time. Electivire's hand obtained a white glow and with a swift chop to the neck, Magmortar had been taken down. He had won.
"Gary, Paul, there you are!" Ironically, this voice came from none other than Dawn.
"Sorry we missed the battle Dawn, we wanted to train." Gary said in a sweet voice.
"That's okay Gary, I lost anyway." Gary saw that this made her sad, and went in for the hug to comfort her.
"You'll win it next time."
This got a smile from Dawn. "Thanks Gary."
Paul said, "I need some alone time and walked away."
"What's up with him?" May asked.
"Sore loser I guess." Gary replied.
Ash came out and gave May a kiss on the cheek. "Good job May!"
She giggled and replied, "Thank's Ashy!"
"So who's paying for dinner tonight!" Ash asked to no one in particular. " One, Two, Three!"
Three of our heroes shouted, "Shawty not!"
But for poor Gary, this meant he was paying. "NOOOOOOO!" His scream could be heard from across the galaxy.
(o^-^o)
Paul's Side of the World
Paul angrily slammed his fists into a wall. "How could I lose to the pathetic trainer!"
He then thought of an even worse thought. "And...this means I lost Dawn too."
He continued walking, and turned to his iPod. He listened to some angry music, and vowed to get stronger. He would train his Pokémon to their limits, until he could destroy him.
"Gary Oak...you better watch out."
Just then a girl popped out. She was about 15 years of age, and there was a mysterious and kind of evil feel about her. She was a little less than 6 foot tall, and was absolutely stunning. She had brown hair, that fell right underneath her shoulders. He face was spotless and had no imperfections. She had lime green eyes that shined like the stars. She was wearing a purple hoodie, with a green tanktop underneath. She was also wearing jeans, and matching sneakers. But what he noticed most, was her hat. That one letter on it gave him the chills. "R"
"Who are you!"
"Name's Chelsea. I used to be Ash's bestfriend, until he abandoned me when he went on that journey for those little jerks Misty and Brock. Only one person made me feel better, and he's my new family. I can end your pain, and help you get revenge. Just come with me, and Giovanni will make you a new person."
"Team..Rocket. Sounds fun. But on one condition."
"And that is?"
"If you can beat me in a battle."
"You'll regret it."
"I don't care. I need to see what true power is."
She smirked, and said, "I like how you think. But not here. Follow me."
A short 10 minute walk later, they were at a battle field.
Paul suggested a 3 on 3 battle, but she denied it.
"I only need one Pokémon to beat you."
"Suit yourself."
"Drapion, Torterra, Ursaring, standby for battle."
"You're in for a world of pain. Feraligatr, battle dance."
"Ladies first."
"Time to end this. Use Double Ice Punch on Torterra, then follow up with an Aqau Tail on Drapion."
"Drapion! Toxic on Ursaring."
"Guts won't be enough to stop me!" She yelled as Feraligatr began her assault.
Feraligatr ran faster than a Deoxys, and the two punches instantly knocked him out. He whipped his tail around, and Drapion was gone too.
Paul couldn't believe his eyes. "That's not possible!"
"It's possible alright. Now are you gonna call a move? Or just stand there."
"Use Facade!"
The bear charged with an orange aura around him.
"Take the attack full on. Then finish him off with Dragon Claw."
The attack barely fazed the alligator. Before Paul could react, a blue claw raked across Ursaring's face, and knocked him out cold.
"Convinced yet?"
Paul held his head down low, before saying, "Take me to your leader."
Chelsea simply smirked and said, "That a boy."
(o^-^o)
5 Days Later
It was 3 in the morning, and after a long search, the trainers went back to bed.
"Do you think we'll ever find him Gary?" Dawn asked.
He kissed his new girlfriend on the forehead and told her, "We will. I promise."
Just them, an explosion came from the lobby of the Pokémon center.
Ash was the first down, with his Pikachu and his newly caught shiny Pidove next to him.
"Team Rocket! Give back those Pokémon!"
"Not so fast Ketchum."
The rest of the gang came down and heard the last remark.
"Is that you!"
"Paul!" Dawn ran forward towards the direction of the voice.
But the other three stopped her. "No, it's too dangerous right now." Gary said.
"What do you think you're doing Paul!" Ash said.
"I needed to get stronger. Team Rocket's helping me."
"Well I won't let you go without a fight."
"Suit yourself. Froslass, standby for battle."
"Pikachu, go!"
"This is a waste of my time. Shadow Ball, boosted by Icy Wind."
Before Ash could even react, Pikachu was blown away.
"How..how did you get so powerful?"
"I told you already Ketchum. Now, out of my way!"
"You'll have to answer to me first!'
Out came a man that only Ash recognized. It was the one who kidnapped him at the airport.
"I have a score to settle with you!"
"Do I know you? Gengar, come on out!"
"A Gengat huh? Froslass, Shadow Ball again!"
"Counter it with your own!" Gengar's was much bigger, and easily overpowered the one sent by Paul. It slammed into Froslass, but the assault didn't end there.
"Hypnosis, then Dream Eater, and Nightmare! End it with a Sludge Bomb!"
Gengar flew up to Froslass, and busted out a clock. He lulled Froslass into a deep sleep, then sent an illusion of himself through the Ice/Ghost type. When he regained his energy, Froslass was still whimpering and shaking, until a Sludge Bomb put her out of her misery.
"Good job Gengar!" He threw a fry at him and he returned to his Pokéball.
Paul left, but not before vowing to get stronger. "Next time Ketchum, I will defeat you, all of you!"
When everything cleared up and the Pokémon were returned, Ash went up to the man who saved them.
"What is up with you! First you attack me, then you save me!"
"I don't remember ever attacking you. And that's not a good way to say hi to your savior. Orange is the name. See you around."
He disappeared before Ash could ask anymore questions.
"Orange...just who are you!"
(o^-^o)
And this chapter is over. It's been a LOOOONG time since I've updated. I made JV lacrosse this year, and it was just hours upon hours of practice. And when that was over and I thought I was free, bam! Finals...studying, studying, studying. Part of the reason for my delay was also laziness, but also writer's block. But now it's summer, so hopefully I'll have time.
Here's to confirm something: Orange has Twin Personality Disorder. So he can be a hero, or a villain.
Yes, Paul is officially a part of Team Rocket.
