Poképowers: DexDefenders Unite!
Chapter Two: Training Days
9-8-12
Giratina: Posco does not and will never own Pokémon or Pokéspe. Yippee.
Arceus: And welcome back to PokéPowers: Dexdefenders Unite! I hope you like action and adventure because this entire chapter is just full of it! That and horribly cliché puns! And if you don't...there's a nice spot in the corner for you...
Giratina: What the magicarp was that, boss?
Arceus: That was called narrating, Giratina, it's when you explain what happening.
Dialga: Understood, but why were you doing it in a fanfiction?
Palkia: Yeah!
Arceus: Well someone has to do it!
Giratina & Dialga: No they don't!
Palkia: Yeah!
Where we left off…
"Superpowers!"
Everyone stared at him blankly. That kind of blankness that makes you think 'what did I do wrong?' and also the kind of blankness that causes slight aggravation. It was that blankness in their blank stares that began to annoy and confuse the golden-eyed perverted teen as he slowly realized that they didn't believe him when he said Superpowers.
"Oh come on, guys!" He cried before gesturing to his mummified hands, "Emerald covered his sand castle in burning goop! The only way he could do that is if he was half…I don't know; bug or something!"
Emerald suddenly stood up, rather angry, "Is that a reference to my height?"
"No, but that's not the point," Gold sighed, "Can you guys ever even allow my dreams to come true?"
A simultaneous 'NO!' echoed through the beach house as Gold was literally thrown back by the force of words.
The amber-eyed boy stood up again, frowning, "Don't you guys get it? If we're superheroes we can get our own show, our own comics, our own cereal!"
"And people would think we're just drunks in costumes and we'll find our feet relocated to our foreheads after taking on all the bad guys!" Ruby shouted, mostly not wanting the ability to have his toes touch his nose, "It's stupid! We don't even know our powers! How're we supposed to come up with names! We're not professionals, Gold!"
Nobody expected Ruby to be so against the idea. It was the equivalent amount of shock you get from seeing Diamond not put jam on toast or seeing Silver in a tank top. Alright, maybe not that shocking, yet strange enough but to know that he doesn't ever want a find a speck of dirt on his clothing.
"You can design the costumes..."
Ruby's eyes immediately lit up, "I'm in!"
Gold had decided coming up with names would be an easy task for him, being the nicknamer of the group. Gold also took note to vote for the team leader. He had someone in mind: Himself. It is not like it wasn't obvious. Gold excitingly clapped his hands together, "Alright; let's get down to business!"
A good four hours later…
Yes, precisely four hours later, our "heroes" were still in the process of finding names and powers that corresponded to them. They were only stuck on Red. He nearly drowned when they threw him in the water to see if he could breath, he got rather severely burned when he touched the flaming stove, he tried jumping off a tall rock and had nearly fallen to his death, and worst of all he got hit in the man jewels by multiple rocks when testing for intangibility and/or stone manipulation. Red felt stupid. He felt humiliated and dumbfounded. Humiliated because everyone saw him crouched down on the ground in pain for an hour and dumbfounded because it's possible he didn't have a power.
Gold pulled on the tired boy's arm, trying to pull him up from the couch, "Come on, come one, Red! Please! We're going to have you punch a brick next; you know for super strength or whatever. Come on!"
"I'm not in a punching mood…" Red grumbled, not lifting his head from the pillow, "Go away."
"Dude, don't be jealous," Gold said, sitting on Red's back, "I'm sure you've got a power, it's just hard to figure out."
"You're ridiculous, Gold," Red attempted to say, but Gold's weight pushed him further into the pillow, "This is just a giant gag! And get off me before I die of suffocation!"
Gold did as told, not exactly wanting his predecessor die because of him and a stupid reason. That did make him think of something; something very not Gold-like to have thought about. What if it was a prank by someone? What if they were just the puppets of a show that people wanted to have seen embarrassed themselves? Gold sighed, rubbing his forehead, "The others and I are going training tomorrow at the beach; we're dressing up so don't worry. Wanna come?"
Red shifted to look up at him, running a hand across a bruise on his cheek, "No thanks, it'd be weird to see a Dexholder hanging out with…whatever you're calling yourselves."
"I'm still yet to figure that out!"
"Whatever, just let's get some sleep…" Red muttered, standing up from the couch, "It's late and I'm beat. See you in the morning."
And the light flickered off.
The Next Day…
Red stared at them. Sure, they did look like actual superheroes, but it still looked ridiculous. You had to give Ruby some credit. Each costume even had a little theme and colour pattern.
"Ruby, why do I only have one glove?" Gold questioned and he looked at his two hands, trying to comprehend that fact that one was naked, "It feels weird."
Ruby rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, "I kind of ran out of yellow fabric."
"I look like a super villain!" Silver complained, looking at the darkness that was his outfit, "People are seriously going to think wrong. And are you sure about the shades?"
Ruby nodded, "Yeah, shades are cool."
"Well, what about this weird belt?!" Pearl complained, not quite fully understanding why his belt was at least four inches wide, "This thing covers, like, my entire upper body!"
"It's for character!" Ruby snapped irritating with all the complaining and questions, "Everything that is a part of your outfits it for character!"
Everybody stared at him. It took a good seven seconds before Gold spoke up, facing Red, "We're going now, you sure you don't wanna come?"
Red nodded. He let the team walk past him and out the door, feeling a strange sensation in the pit of his stomach. He didn't know what it was; he felt like either something bad was going to happen or if he just felt sad that he wasn't joining them. Red didn't know. And so the boy just decided to flop down on the couch, enjoy a bag of beef jerky, and watch television. Strange: Red never liked beef jerky. He didn't even know what beef was. But he ended up ignoring it.
The Beach with the Unnamed Team of Superheroes…
Training was actually much more boring than you would have thought. Green was sitting on a rock, kicking around a few pebbles. He didn't know what to test out. Even if he did he didn't know how. He suddenly heard a rather loud yelp that came from none other than Ruby, who was just hit in the head with a rock, courtesy of Sapphire's super strong arm. The red-eyed boy fell to the ground, rubbing his head as the rock came flying towards Green. The boy put his hands in front of his face, but it never hit him. He never felt the impact. He looked around, dropping his hands at his sides, hearing a clonking sound in process. Moving his head down, he noticed the stone was on the ground in front of him. Lifting his hands up again, it followed. Amazed, the green-eyed boy tried the same with sand but failed as instead the grit decided to be rude and fly into his face.
Meanwhile Ruby and Sapphire had started another argument about how it was the others fault that the rock almost hit Green. Of course neither of them looked convinced at their counterpart's statements.
"It's your strength that made it go so far!" Ruby yelled, flying at least twelve feet in the air so Sapphire couldn't get him.
"But ya dodged it!" Sapphire cried, bending down and doing a frightening high jump, but missing as she tried to grab his foot, "If ya hadn't got outta da way, there'd be no one ta blame!"
And so the two fought and fought and fought. Ruby was actually quite surprised by her new ability to jump because of the enhanced muscles in her legs. All he thought he could do was flying. Going in circles was no fun. Bored and jealous of almost everyone else there, the red-eyed boy sighed, causing, much to everybody's shock, a rather strong gust of wind to knock over most of the umbrellas and beach chairs and towels back a good three feet.
Poor little Emerald was a victim to one of these chairs. Before he was squished, the short boy had been wrapping the chair in silk, a slightly different substance than what he used to keep his sandcastle together. The silk was sticky but not acidic. When Ruby blew that…tornado it had knocked the chair back on him, resulting in him finding himself stuck to the chair, and not in a sitting position.
Elsewhere on the empty beach were Diamond and Pearl. Diamond was confused. So people could go through him; was that really it? Diamond looked at his friend. Pearl had been holding a piece of bread for two hours trying to make toast. It was still white. The blonde bit his lip, tired at staring at nothing but baked flour all day. Angered, he threw it to the ground and began shouting, his hands flailing in the air, "Oh my Arceus! How long does it take to set something on fire?! I don't get it!"
"Pearl…" Diamond said, noticing his friend's hands smoking before catching flame, "Pearl!"
"What?!" He yelled, looking his friend in the eye.
He sniffed and looked down. Before he could get a proper look at his flaming hands however, a shower of water fell over him, drenching his body. Behind him, Blue was laughing.
"What was that?" He shouted, squeezing water from his hair, "Shouldn't you be bothering Green or something?"
"Well yeah, but I just saved your life," She said, gesturing to his hands which had begun to steam, "You should be thanking me."
"Thanking you? I didn't even feel it!" Pearl face palmed, "And I feel like I never actually want to get wet again! And what are you doing anyway? You know, other than soaking me."
"Ah, you know, breathing under water, enjoying the water resistance; the usual,"
"You can breathe under water?" Diamond asks, rather intrigued.
Blue didn't know what to say, "Well not exactly, I think I can stay down there longer than the average human."
Suddenly something exploded behind them. The group turned, shocked and frightened. Two silhouettes stood on a little hill of sand, chuckling. A Bastiodon was behind them, stomping it's bulky feet and with each step caused a quake. It snorted as the duo walked out of the shadows, apparently grinning. They were wearing matching tight silver with Cs on their chests.
They smiled at the team, before the male half of them put his arm around the girl, who glared at him, her smile quickly fading as she stated bluntly, "Get off me, Mitchell."
The boy, Mitchell, smirked, "Whatever, Stel."
By now everyone was confused.
"Who are you people and what do you want?" Green asked, hoping that they weren't there to fight.
The blonde woman laughed, "We saw everything you were doing back there, boy!"
"Super powered kids…the master will surely get a laugh out of this!" Mitchell cried, "Right, Stella?"
Stella nodded, "They'll be so helpful."
"Helpful with what?" Yellow asked, rather innocently.
"We are not going to be like your cliché villains by telling you our plans!" Stella shouted, obviously angry.
"Yeah, we're totally not telling you about our plans of kidnapping you to help us takeover mankind!" Mitchell cried in agreement but accidentally revealing information.
Stella hit him over the head and grabbed a pokeball from her belt, "Now that you know because of this idiot, we'll have to take you by force! Mawile!"
"Bastiodon! Use Take Down on…" His finger moved around the now frightened teens before stopping at Diamond, "Him!"
It came charging at him. Diamond quickly covered his head with his arms, in fear of what to come. It never came. Diamond opened one eye to peak and noticed it was gone. He looked around. The Bastiodon had gone right through his body and was now in the water, angered.
"Mawile, Bite on the under-dressed girl!" Stella said while pointing to Sapphire.
It was true, Sapphire was rather unclothed. The large mouthed Pokémon ran up to her, its large choppers biting the air. Sapphire rounded her fist, punching up in the air, causing it to be hit in the chin. It went flying.
The duo growled. Mitchell grabbed another pokéball and tossed it, "Steelix! Capture them!"
The newly released metal snake Pokémon wrapped its surprisingly long tail around the entire team, preventing them from doing anything.
"Oh we've got you now…"
With Red…
The black-haired boy didn't know what to think when he heard that explosion. He simply shrugged it off as a 'power gone wrong' until her heard the long feminine scream following. He immediately stood up at the thought of Yellow being brutally attacked by a monstrous being. Red, now scared and confused, ran to the window to take a look. Indeed, there were two figures standing over the now beaten Dexholders.
Red felt angry. A kind of anger you couldn't control. But it was unusual for him to feel so mad. The fury poured through him like a waterfall. He didn't understand this feeling of rage. Why was he so mad?
Then something in Red clicked as a breaking and cracking sound formed in his chest and ferocious pain erupted in his body.
With Everybody Else…
They were doomed; they all knew it. The Steelix had squeezed them nearly half to death, but had let them go because it obviously didn't want to kill them. Yellow lay weakly on the ground watching everyone else as they all moaned in achy pain. Stella and Mitchell were laughing so hard, you could probably hear them from Sinnoh.
"You can't do this!" Crystal shouted, picking herself up from the ground.
Before either of them could respond a loud roar rang through the air. Confusion hovered over the group before a large shadow appeared in the sky. It came closer and closer until it was so close that it was seeable. It was a red dragon. Not a Pokémon dragon, but an actual living dragon. It growled at turned to Stella and Mitchell. Their eyes widened in fear as they took a few careful steps back.
The dragon opened its mouth and shot a string of fire at them, resulting in them running away.
Gold shouted after them, "Yeah, and don't come back because we're...the DexDefenders!"
The monster then looked at the Dexholders, sneering. Just before it could toast them, it took a look at Yellow and frowned. It landed on the ground, its long tail probably touching the other end of the beach, and closed its red eyes.
Slowly it began to change its shape until it was just a young boy lying unconscious and naked on the sand.
The boy was Red.
And Red had just discovered that he had the power of Dragons.
"Seriously, Gold? Dexdefenders?"
Arceus: Bravo! That was actually one of the worse chapters…
Dialga: I know right?
Giratina: Posco was having trouble with this one because it is one of seven chapters that involves all the DexHolders.
Palkia: Yeah!
Giratina: Posco swears that the next one will be even better because it is only following two characters.
Palkia: Yeah!
Dialga: Oh, by the way this story is expected to be Fifty—Fifty-Four chapters long.
Giratina: Okay now: Greece's kitty thank you very much for that kind review. Posco appreciates it.
Palkia: Yeah!
Dialga: And Acupuncture thanks but how exactly is Blue's power unclear? I can understand Silver, but seriously.
Arceus: Don't miss 'Comics Galore' next Saturday!
Posco: I know, I know; this chapter was terrible. But still, don't leave. This was just hard to write because there were too many characters. I promise you that the next one will be amazing! Oh my gosh, Red was seen naked! Fan-Girls, stay calm! Yeah, so I decided that after a transformation, both Red and Emerald cannot have clothing. Anyways, next time Gold and Pearl get excited over the new and official DexDefenders Comic Book. (This takes place four days from chapter two) But they get upset with the decisions the comic artists and writers chose for it so they decide to hunt them down and change it. Hope to see you all again! I'm sorry about the lack of Silver, Emerald, and Platinum in this chapter! Platinum has a few to come and Silver has his own chapter in a while. Emerald has his personal chapter close to the end, so sorry all you few Emerald fans! By the way, if you're, like, really curious about if there is a chapter you want, just ask. I'm not taking suggestions because I've already planned the whole thing out, so only if you want to know about if I have a chapter that you want there to be then just ask. I'll tell you. If not then I'm sorry. Peace out, ya'll! (Still not southern)
