Day Two- 8:00 P.M.
"Found him." Nan and Alicia blinked and turned to see Flash and Chespin forcefully dragging a Furfou over to the terrace.
"Good job, Bae." Alicia walked over to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Now we just get him back to the king and go about our way." Flash said. With the help of Nan and Alicia, as well as their starters, the group was able to cart the Furfou back to the king.
"Thank you very much!" The king was overjoyed, hugging the Pokemon. "Take the pokeflute!"
"No prob." Flash took the flute, and the trio headed out.
Location: unknown universe, in the middle of a void.
"Bruh. That was totally flirting earlier." A human girl who was styled in black and white monochrome commented.
"Definitely! I took pictures!" The girl next to her giggled. The two of them were watching the adventure through some kind of screen. "Monica, you think I should send these to Peanut?" The girl asked the monochrome human.
"Definitely. Tell him to keep the shipping alive, Flandre." Monica nodded.
"Kaaaaaaaay!" Flandre giggled, tapping at a cell phone.
Allow me to shed some light on this. Monica... Monica I'll explain properly later. Flandre is Flandre Scarlet, from Touhou Project. She's kinda bonkers. What these two are doing in this strange universe... Who knows? I'm sure it'll be important later, though!
Location: Route 7.
"Bouncy bouncy bouncy!" Peanut giggled. He had gotten bored and was bouncing on Snorlax's sleeping stomach. There was suddenly a message alert sound. After making sure he was alone, Peanut whipped out a phone from his fur.
"...mergerd, mah ships." Peanut's eyes dilated. "Yuuuuuuuuuuus! Monica knows what she's doing! Now to make dhe three way ship happen..." He quickly stuffed the phone back into his fur as Flash, Nan, and Alicia returned.
"We got the flute." Flash announced.
"...Peanut, are you jumping on it's stomach?" Nan asked, eye twitching.
"Yus!" Peanut cheered. "It won't wake up anyway, and it's bouncy!"
"Alright, then..." Nan sweatdropped further.
"Let's wake it up." Flash said firmly. Peanut hopped off and scampered over to sit beside his trainer. Flash began playing the flute. The Snorlax awoke and lumbered out of the way.
"We can pass now!" Nan cheered.
"Let's go, Bae." Alicia said. Flash, however, was staring at the Snorlax.
"...I'm catching it." Flash pulled out a pokeball and sent in Fletchling. Fletchling tackled Snorlax in the back, initiating the battle. Snorlax slowly turned around. Fletchling used tackle on its stomach, but bounced off.
"eh?! It's actually that bouncy?!" Nan gasped.
"I told you!" Peanut said exasperatedly.
Fletchling kept up his tackle assault, bouncing off of Snorlax each time. All the while, Snorlax was lumbering forward until he towering over the group. He then raised his fist, slamming Fletchling with a mega punch and smashing him into the ground. Everyone was thrown back by the impact. Flash landed smoothly a little ways back.
"I don't remember him having that move when I played the game..." Peanut gasped as he faceplanted next to Flash.
"Can Flash beat that?" Nan wondered as he landed on the sidelines.
"Bruh." Was all Alicia said as she landed.
"I'm counting you, Peanut!" Flash said, ordering Peanut forward. Peanut used tackle, but also bounced off of Snorlax's stomach and landed in front of Flash.
"Uh oh." Was all Peanut said before Snorlax smashed him into a crater with another mega punch, defeating him. Flash was thrown back again.
"This is getting ridiculous." Flash muttered. "Chespin!" Chespin popped out of his pokeball, raring to go. "Use vine whip!" Chespin did so, but Snorlax grabbed the vines and pulled Chespin over. He then used ice punch to finish him in a single blow and freeze him.
"Ice punch too?!" Nan gasped.
"Kirlia!" Flash called out his last Pokemon. Snorlax used ice punch, but Kirlia quickly used confusion to freeze him in place and confuse him. Flash threw in a pokeball and captured Snorlax!
Extra data- Snorlax: It is not satisfied unless it eats over 880 pounds of food every day. When it is done eating, it goes promptly to sleep.
"Good job, Bae." Alicia said.
"Let's keep going." Flash said.
Day 2- 8:30 P.M. Location: Route 8.
The trio stepped out of Connecting Cave. Other than Alicia catching a Swirlix, nothing important of note had happened.
"Bae, look. I caught a thing." Alicia said, holding Swirlix instead of Fennekin. She held it in front of Flash's face.
"That's cool, Alicia." Flash said, only interested in reaching the next gym.
"Bae, pay attention or I'll kill you." Alicia said sweetly.
"huh?" Flash turned when a Inkay and a Staryu jumped out. Alicia whipped out her pokedex.
Pokedex data- Staryu: It appears in large numbers by seashores. At night, its central core flashes with a red light.
Pokedex data- Inkay: It flashes the light-emitting spots on its body, which drains its opponent's will to fight. It takes the opportunity to scuttle away and hide.
"Bruh. I want the starfish thing." Alicia announced, pulling out a pokeball.
"And I want the Inkay. Let's do this." Flash pulled out a pokeball as well.
"Go!" Chespin and Pikachu popped out. Staryu and Inkay glared. They unleashed a combined paywave on the two Pokemon, knocking them back.
"Bruh. Take it out with thundershock." Pikachu used the attack, quickly taking Staryu to a low amount of HP. Meanwhile, Inkay defeated Chespin with a few pecks. Flash returned his Pokemon and sent in Kirlia.
"Dazzling gleam!" Inkay was knocked down to low health, and the couple threw pokeballs to capture their respective Pokemon. Nan sweatdropped.
"They're pretty ferocious as a couple... Glad I don't have to take them on." He commented.
"Let's get going." Flash said.
Day Two- 10:00 P.M. Location: Cyllage City.
"I was hoping to make it farther today." Flash sighed. "Oh well. Let's head to the gym tomorrow, then!"
Day Three- 8:00 A.M.
Nan stretched as he exited his room, grinning.
"Boy, I slept like a log! What about you guys?" Flash and Alicia stared at him.
"Bruh. Flash and I stayed up training." Alicia muttered, drinking her coffee. Fennekin yawned next to her.
"What?" Nan was surprised.
"It's how we stay ahead of you." Flash deadpanned "Now let's head out."
Day Three- 8:30 A.M.
"Heeeeeeeey! Guuuuuuuuuuys!" A tall man in about his twenties was walking over to the trio as they were heading to the gym.
"Oh, hey Fox." Flash greeted. This man is Foxfire, more casually known as Fox. Why he's here... Who knows? ...I might... Hehe...
"Yo!" Nan waved.
"You guys are here too?" Foxfire asked as he reached them.
"...no, we're your hallucinations." Flash deadpanned. "Why are YOU here?"
"I got bored. Then G offered to send me here." Foxfire shrugged. "I've just kinda been looking around at interesting things, catching some cool Pokemon-"
"We have a gym battle to get to." Flash cut him off. "You can come if you want."
"Actually, I was heading there too." Foxfire said. "Planning on beating the Kalos League."
"Then let's go." The group headed off.
"I wonder why G didn't tell me Fox came..." Peanut muttered to himself.
Day Three- 8:45 A.M. Location: Cyllage Gym.
"Cool, it's a rock climbing wall!" Nan grinned.
"Now you can all suck at something together you computer nerds!" Peanut cheered. "I've got an idea!" Suddenly, Foxfire too could hear Peanut.
"Woah, your Eevee can talk?!" He blinked.
"That's Peanut." Flash replied.
"...who?"
"I don't think we've ever really met." Peanut pointed out. "Anyway, to decide the order of the gym matches, how about we have a race to see who can get to the top first?"
"Sounds good." Flash nodded. "Always up to a challenge."
"Sounds good to me." Foxfire nodded.
"Alright, let's go!" Peanut cheered. Foxfire and Flash both instantly brought out pokeballs.
"Fletchling, go!"
"Scizor, let's crush 'em!"
Scizor grabbed Foxfire and leapt high into the air, quickly taking him to the ceiling of the gym. Fletchling used quick attack to chase after, with Flash holding his feet.
"Bruh." Was all Alicia had to say.
"Crap... I was counting on Charmeleon evolving before I had to do any flying." Nan grumbled. He started climbing. Suddenly, a string shot shot past him, hitting the top of the mountain. Alicia, Spewpa, and Peanut all had the string wrapped around their stomachs so as not to fall, and they began climbing the string toward the top.
"...I'm the only one without an advantage!" Nan yelled, tugging at his hair. Peanut and Alicia blinked at each other before shrugging and continuing their upward trek.
Up at the top, Foxfire was grinning triumphantly.
"Now just drop down onto the top!" He ordered. Scizor hopped down, about to land when Fletchling suddenly crashed into his stomach, knocking him just an inch too far. Scizor plummeted down the mountain, barely missing Nan.
"What the-" Nan blinked before losing his footing. "Gah-" his foot was caught by a string shot.
"That was close." Alicia said. Spewpa attached the string to the first string. "I'm not gonna let you die just because of some stupid contest."
"Thanks..." Nan sighed in relief. The group continued to climb.
"We win, I guess." Fletchling was carefully lowering Flash to the top of the mountain as he said that.
"Like hell you are!" Foxfire and Scizor had gotten up at the base of the mountain. Fox pointed at Flash, Scizor pointing his claws at him.
"Flash cannon!" Foxfire commanded. The blast barely missed Fletchling, forcing him away from the mountain. The blast did snap Alicia's string shot, however.
"oh hell-" she began as her group began plummeting toward the ground.
Meanwhile, Scizor suddenly jumped up right next to Flash and Fletchling, his claws aimed at them. Flash opened his mouth to say something, but just sighed.
"Flash cannon!"
A very beat up Flash along with his defeated Fletchling crashed onto the top of the mountain just moments after Foxfire and Scizor landed on it.
"Huh. Flash got beaten by flash cannon. Ironic." Peanut commented as he was falling.
"Now's not the time!" Nan deadpanned.
"Spewpa, help!" Alicia commanded, unfazed by the fall. Spewpa shot a new string shot, shortly reattaching all of them except Nan, who was just too far away.
"Grab my hand!" Alicia reached out to him, and he reached out at her, but the distance was too large.
"Charmeleon!" In desperation, Nan sent out the Pokemon. Charmeleon grabbed Alicia's hand with one hand and Nan's hand in the other. Alicia suddenly got an evil grin.
"Alicia...?" Nan sweatdropped as Alicia let go of Charmeleon's hand.
"Sorry, Nan. Flash and Fox already got to the top, and I hella won't be last." Alicia said evilly.
"CURSE YOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Nan and Charmeleon crashed painfully at the bottom of the mountain.
"Was... That really necessary?" Peanut sweatdropped.
"Let's just keep going." Alicia said, starting to climb up again.
Day Three- 9:00 A.M.
Nan indeed got last place, and sat beside Flash grumbling to himself.
"Alright, I'm ready to go!" Foxfire grinned.
Grant sent out Amaura first, which Scizor easily took down with a metal claw. He did the same to Tyrunt, winning Foxfire the badge.
"Woo!" Foxfire cheered.
Next up was Flash. He took his sweet time considering which Pokemon to use before finally sending out Snorlax. Amaura began barraging Snorlax with attacks as he slowly lumbered forward. Once he reached her, he defeated her with one ice punch. Flash switched in Chespin as Grant sent in Tyrunt. Chespin tried to defeat it with a vine whip, but Tyrunt held strong and defeated it with a few dragon type attacks. Flash sighed and sent Snorlax back in. Snorlax one hit the Pokemon with ice punch. Flash returned to his seat, staring ruthfully at Chespin's pokeball.
Alicia went in, smirking. She sent out Staryu against Amaura. However, Staryu's water type attacks proved ineffective, and she went down. Alicia decided to use Fennekin next. Amaura instantly began using rock tomb. Fennekin desperately dodged before finally getting struck.
"Fennekin! Kill that shit with flame charge!" Alicia said, a frown on her face. Fennekin started using flame charge, and eventually was able to completely outpace and strike down Amaura.
"Since flame charge increases speed, Alicia had Fennekin spam it to maximize dodging speed." Peanut explained.
"Since when has Alicia used advanced strategies like that?" Nan wondered.
"I wouldn't call that advanced..." Peanut deadpanned slightly.
Grant sent out Tyrunt, who finished Fennekin off with a rock tomb. Alicia sent in Swirlix, who easily defeated Tyrunt with a fairy type move.
"Bae, look. We have the same badges again." Alicia said, presenting Flash with the badge. "I fucked up that fucking rock bitch."
"Good job, Alicia!" Flash grinned, nodding approvingly.
"Alright, I think we're done here." Foxfire said, getting up.
"Yup." Flash nodded, following suit.
"Hey! I still have to fight!" Nan cut in.
"Oh yeah." The two said in unison. "...we forgot."
"You guys suck sometimes..." Nan muttered before getting up to face Grant. "Let's see... None of my Pokemon are good for beating Amaura!" Nan groaned in frustration. "Goldeen!" The goldfish Pokemon was paralyzed be thunder wave and was knocked out quickly.
"Agh! Thunder wave is so uncool! I wish I had trained now!" Nan yelled. "Erm... Next... Nanhjshmehjsnhdjd... Skiddo!" Skiddo came out, but was defeated by one Aurora beam.
"Gaaaaaaaah! All my Pokemon! Erm... Charmeleon!" Nan sent the flame lizard in. Amaura quickly struck it hard with a rock tomb. Though significantly damaged, Charmeleon managed to get a metal claw in, defeating Amaura. However, Tyrunt defeated him with a quick rock tomb.
"Aw... And he was doing so well..." Nan sighed, returning Charmeleon. "Froakie!" Froakie dodged around Tyrunt's attacks expertly and took him down with a few water type attacks.
"That was too difficult..." Nan sighed as he received the badge.
Day Three- 10:00 A.M.
"So, like, are you guys heading to the next gym?" Foxfire asked at the gates of Cyllage City.
"Yeah." Flash said.
"Why, are you coming too?" Nan wondered.
"Yeah, I got stuff to check out and I was wondering if I could come with." Foxfire explained.
"Sure." Flash nodded. "Let's head out!" They exited the city.
