Ahahaha, yes. Krystee DID get captured by Team Rocket. Surprised? I'm not -_-
So, let's see how our hero is faring with her predicament? And Crys, whose battle is taking place at the same time. Wait…what about Team Rocket! I bet it'll take about 4-5 chapters to finish the finale…
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon
"AUUUUGH! Let me out! LET ME OUT DANG IT!" Krystee screamed as she shook the iron door. To her annoyance, nothing so far. Kiyoshi watched with discomfort at seeing her trainer go ballistic. Aki, however….
"Ahahaha, go trainer, GO! Wow, this is so much more interesting than watching two Metapods battling each other." Aki laughed, pretending to wipe a tear out of her huge brown eyes. Kiyoshi turned to her partner in mild annoyance.
"I would appreciate it if you didn't talk to our trainer that way." Kiyoshi politely told the Pikachu, and much to her aggravation, all the yellow mouse did was stick out her tongue. What a jerk…
"Hey, can you guys stop bickering and try to atleast help me!" Krystee yelled at her Pokemon. She knew nothing could break the cages, but…
"If I knew how to, we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place, now would we?" Aki said leisurely, lazily watching its tail swing back and forth. The poor Pikachu was exhausted from trying to shock its way out of the cage. Krystee frowned, seeing as her Pikachu wouldn't do any good. So instead, she turned into her faithful Bulbasaur.
"Well what about you Bulbasaur?" Krystee asked hopefully. The Bulbasaur flinched as stars were practically oozing out of her trainer.
"Uhm, uh…well…" Kiyoshi stuttered, trying to find the right words. She knew that Krystee couldn't understand her, but maybe…
"Oh, I get it…" Krystee sighed. As much as Krystee wished she could understand Pokemon, she knew from the way Kiyoshi acted that the Bulbasaur didn't know a thing.
"Tch, of course she asks the Bulbasaur after already asking me." Aki grumbled, glaring at its tail. Kiyoshi held in a laugh.
"Aw, so all you want is attention?" Kiyoshi joked. Aki, apparently, did not sit well for this.
"Hey, do you want to have a go, WEED!" Aki bristled, her cheeks sparking. Kiyoshi, the docile Pokemon she was(with a dark side), decided to shut up and look at its trainer. Obviously, Pokemon from the wild didn't understand jokes.
"Oh, I got it! Okay, here's what we do…" Krystee whispered her plan to her two Pokemon, who nodded enthusiastically. It could actually work…
Crys walked nervously as she entered the battle field, Storm happily skipping in front of her. Crys was never really good in front of huge crowds, much less in front off TV people. She calmed herself down, but as soon as she saw her opponents, she started shivering once more. Storm somehow managed to see her partner's uneasiness and turned serious.
"Listen, this is obviously your first competition. But I'm your partner, so don't worry about it okay?" Storm tried reassuring her partner. Actually, Storm just wanted to get those rare items from Sinnoh, particularly because legendary Pokemon do well in contests. Crys thought about it before nodding her head.
"Right!" Crys agreed, pumped up. She didn't particularly like Pokemon battling, but seeing as Storm was all hyped up, she didn't want to disappoint. Storm smiled before turning to the TV, Jennifer about to announce the battles.
"Okay! Now that both match number one and two have been decided, how about match number three?" Jennifer said as the crowd cheered. Crys held back the butterflies and forced a smile. Storm was having the time of her life, waving at the crowd. Their opponents weren't doing much though…
"Now, on the red side, Storm with her dazzling hair and Crys with her clichéd blue outfit!" Jennifer introduced.
"Pshhh, of course it's dazzling." Storm said haughtily, flipping her hair as she winked at the crowd. However, Crys wasn't very flattered at the comment about her clothes.
"Clichéd…?" Cry muttered quietly to herself, pulling at her jacket. She needed to fix that rip soon…
"And now, on the green side is the sporty Jane and tough-looking Collen!" On the right was Jane, wearing a white sweat-shirt and black sweat-pants. Her running shoes were dirty, indicating she had actually walked to the Battleon. Jane had a dark tan, sunglasses on top of her milky brown hair that matched her forest green eyes. On the other hand, Collen was a dark, buff man, with his triceps showing because of his sleeveless muscle shirt. He wore dark green khakis and black sandals. He slung his dark bag over his shoulder and had a mean look in his black eyes.
"I hope you're ready." Jane taunted, waving a finer at Crys and Storm.
"Oh, you bet we are! We're gonna-" Storm, about to say a few nasty words that shouldn't be said on national television that kids were watching, was interrupted by Crys.
"Have a friendly battle." Crys said, her hand covering Storm's mouth, who tried speaking but could not.
"Alright, Machoke, let's finish them quick!" Collen said, throwing a Great ball to reveal a bulky, blue Pokemon. Machoke let out a fierce cry, flexing its muscles. The crowd 'oozed' and 'aahed'. Jane read the signal and quickly took out an Ultra ball.
"Let our training pay off Dodrio!" The three-headed bird Pokemon squawked, pawing the ground with its foot. Some people squealed at the scary looking bird while the others looked on with awe.
"And so, the battle starts! The green team seems to start off with two energetic Pokemon known as Machoke and Dodrio. What is your comment, Professor Oak?" Jennifer asked the old man, who cleared his throat.
"Machoke are very strong physical attackers, and so is Dodrio. I'd have to say that the red team must have some good defenses if they want to keep up." Professor Oak commented. Jennifer smiled, turning to Taylor.
"And you, Viridian City Gym leader Taylor?" Jennifer asked, pointing the mike at him.
"Dodrio is a fast Pokemon, but good attacks can knock it out. Machoke as well. Just watch out for its fighting moves." Taylor warned. Jennifer nodded her head, finally turning to Sarah.
"Ms. Jones. Your opinion?" Jennifer inquired. Sarah looked at the two Pokemon eagerly.
"In Hoenn, I had to face many Dodrios. They can be especially nasty with their Tri-Attack. Machokes are also very deadly if well trained." Sarah recalled, smiling at the fond memories. Jennifer took this all in.
"Well, there you have it folks! How will Crys and Storm retaliate?" Jennifer said in an ominous tone, looking at the battle field excitedly. Storm grinned, throwing the Pokeball. Out came a black and pink pig-like Pokemon, bouncing around on its spring-like tail.
"Food, food, FOOD! Oh…a battle? Need FOOOOOOD!" Storm's Grumpig said, looking hungrily at the arena.
"Belgum, prepare yourself!" Storm warned her bouncy Grumpig, who was probably too busy thinking of how nice a fried Dodrio tasted. Crys took out Gerard's pokeball and threw it.
"Venez sur, Gerard!" Crys cried out, Gerard popping out. It stared down at its opponents, puffing out its chest.
"Peasants! Bow down to your master!" Gerard said, pointing a finger at them, technically its middle finger. The Dodrio squawked at the insult.
"To a puny Squirtle! NOT. A. CHANCE." The Dodrio glared, the three heads taking turns talking. The Machoke didn't like the Squirtle very much either.
"It seems that I'll have turtle soup for dinner." The Machoke growled, cracking its knuckles. Gerard didn't seem to be paying attention though, seeing as he was busy making his 'speeches' again.
"So, what about Squirtle and Grumpig, Professor Oak?" Jennifer turned to the Professor, who smiled.
"Ah, Squirtles are known for being bulky walls of a team, but if used correctly, they could be made into a special sweepers. Grumpigs are great with Psychic attacks as well." Professor Oak concluded, looking at the Squirtle, noticing that it grew bigger and stronger. Taylor answered Jennifer before she even asked.
"The Squirtle will evolve soon. Grumpig is apparently gluttonous and a good psychic Pokemon." Taylor said quickly, looking away to look at the actual battle field. Jennifer sweat dropped but turned to Sarah.
"Sarah-" Jennifer tried, but she cut off.
"Interesting battle. 'Nuff said." Sarah said, shooing Jennifer away. The one in the blue was definitely new and her partner a coordinator, seeing how well groomed the Grumpig was. Jennifer huffed, the camera swiveling around to point at the actual battle.
"Let the battle commence…" Jennifer said, in an uninterested tone. She was too busy sulking about the two judges interrupting her and breaking her roll…
"FINALLY! Belgum, Psybeam at the Machoke!" Storm commanded. The Grumpig stopped jumping for a second to release a Psybeam from the dark gem on its head.
"Gerard, back it up with Bubble." Tiny bubbles rushed forward. It was colored by the shine of the Psybeam, making it appear as if they were rainbow-colored bubbles. Storm grinned. What a nice contest move that would have been…
"Typical attack. Machoke, Endure!" The blue humanoid Pokemon knelt, preparing itself for the attack. Jane seemed to get the idea and reacted quickly.
"Dodrio, hide behind Machoke and prepare an all-out Tri-Attack. Fire when I tell you to." Jane instructed the large bird. It did as it was told and jumped behind Machoke. The attack caused Machoke to grunt, though it held strong. It weakly stood up and panted.
"Machoke, REVENGE!" Collen yelled. With its fist surrounded by a black, blue/purple aura, it jumped forward to smash the Squirtle with its fist. At the same time, Dodrio released its attack and the elemental beams hit Belgum hard. All three Pokemon barely stood, Dodrio coming out unscathed.
"Ugh, that was pretty impressive." Storm muttered. Belgum wasn't handling the attack very well, seeing as it looked like it was about to pass out. Gerard was faring worse. Crys nervously bit her lip. If Gerard didn't make it, they would be out of the battle.
"Gerard, Tail Whip!" Crys ordered.
"Of course! This will be the loveliest tail those peasants can ever see!" And with that, it waggled its tale at the two Pokemon, who stared at Gerard with mild annoyance and disgust, they're defense down. Storm took the opportunity to attack.
"Mirror Coat at Dodrio!" Storm ordered. A silvery, pink coat surrounded Grumpig before he rushed forward and hit the large bird in the chest. It groaned as it crashed into the Machoke, who looked like it couldn't even stand, knocking both Pokemon out.
"AH! Dodrio!" Jane cried out, returning her fallen Pokemon, making sure it wasn't that hurt.
"Beat by my own technique." Collen muttered with a spiteful tone, pocketing Machoke's Greatball after he returned it. The crowd cheered for Storm and Crys, after their miraculous pull. Crys knew she shouldn't let it get to her head but Storm did, her jumping up and down, as well as glomping her.
"OH WOW! What a miraculous save that was! Belgum and Gerard barely pulled through, but they won this round. How far will their luck continue?" Jennifer said, perked by the battle.
"OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH! DID YOU SEE THAT! BELGUM, I'M SO TREATING YOU TONIGHT!" Storm screamed, her Grumpig cheering as soon as he heard her words. Gerard puffed out his chest.
"Are you kidding me! I did all the work!" Gerard said in a loud demanding voice. The Grumpig wasn't fazed, seeing as one of his teammates acted like this sometimes.
"Oh boy, food! FOOD, FOOD, FOOD!" Belgum hopped to and from excitedly, grinning the entire time. Gerard puffed his cheeks, feeling insulted that he was being ignored.
"Y-You!" Gerard growled. All of a sudden, his tiny turtle like body was engulfed in a white light. His body grew larger, arms and legs larger. Instead of a round head, he grew to fins and claws protruded from his hands and feet. Gerard let out a loud cry, not the cry of the cry of a Squirtle, but a Wartortle's.
"Gerard…? You…evolved…?" Crys said softly, shocked at seeing her starter evolve all so suddenly…ON TV!
"Of course! I feel great! Energy is coursing through my body and I feel like I can rule the world!" Gerard gloated, looking at his new body with mild amazement.
"Oh wow! We caught an evolution on tape! Did you see that folks? Now, what are your thoughts about the battle, Professor Oak?" Jennifer asked the smiling man. He nodded in approval.
"I have to say, I thought the red team was a goner for sure, but that was a nicely played Mirror Coat, especially from that angle. The evolution of one of my starters was just an added bonus!" Professor Oak said cheerily. Jennifer nodded her head, moving the mike to the gym leader.
"The Machoke and Dodrio were a good team, but a lucky shot for that Grumpig. Setting up Tail Whip to lower the defense was good, but all-in-all, it was all about luck." Taylor shrugged. Jennifer took it all in with a grim frown, but proceeded to Sarah, who was looking rather…bored?
"Ah, Mirror Coat. That's one of the only times I've seen it used correctly. However, like Taylor said, it was all luck. They need to step up if they hope to survive in the Battleon." Sarah deadpanned. Crys felt a little insulted, but Storm seemed to shrug it off. After all, being a coordinator meant you had to face this kind of criticism nearly every contest.
"Oh well, luck or not, we're in the second round!" Storm couldn't stop grinning, which was contagious because Crys felt the smile tug at her lips.
"Hmm…yeah, you're right! And Gerard evolved too!" Crys smiled happily, patting the Wartortle's head who crossed his arms and harrumphed.
"Yes, ahahaha! I will take on anyone who dares cross paths with me." Gerard cackled evilly, though it sounded like he was choking. Crys raised an eyebrow.
"Are you…choking?" Crys asked nervously. She didn't know how to Heimlich on a Pokemon, especially one with a hard shell.
"What? NO!" Gerard screamed, cursing the Gods that human couldn't understand Pokemon speech. Oh well, maybe someday…
"I guess not, but come on! Let's go out for lunch until our next battle." Storm suggested, taking Crys' hand and dragging her away, Belgum following with ease while Gerard muttered something about loving the 'limelight'. The crowd cheered as soon as the fourth battle commenced before break time, though the pair had already disappeared. From the shadows, out came a person.
"Krystee?" Kira asked. Was her eyes playing tricks, or was that really Krystee? 'Krystee' turned, a smile on her face.
"Hey." 'Krystee' greeted, waving. Kira scrunched her nose. How could she act as if nothing was wrong? This wasn't the Krystee she briefly knew.
"Well, uhm, Crys was waiting for you…but she seems to have disappeared." Kira said, pointing out the door. 'Krystee' nodded.
"Okay. I just have to finish something here." 'Krystee said', pointing to the door where all the trainer's stuff were. Kira raised her eyebrows.
"But, you're match…" Kira said, pointing to the battlefield. 'Krystee' shrugged.
"I decided to forfeit. I wasn't ready yet, but I have to go, bye!" 'Krystee' then walked off, turning a corner. Kira shrugged it off. It didn't concern her anyways. She was here to participate in the Battleon, not baby-sit a girl she barely knew. With that, she left. As 'Krystee' walked down the hall, she was stopped by the same Rocket admin.
"I trust that it went well?" The woman asked 'Krystee'. The girl nodded, before turning back into a purple, jello-like Pokemon. A device fell off, looking like a speaker with buttons on it. A key lay next to it.
"Ditto." Ditto said absent-mindly, jumping up to its trainer's shoulders. The Rocket admin nodded her head and picked up the device, pocketing it. The woman also grabbed the key, walking towards the trainers' room.
"Good job, Ditto. With this, our plan will soon work out. Ditto, Giovanni will certainly be pleased." The woman smirked, the Ditto silent as they entered the room. It was dark, seeing as the lights were off but she could see some trainer's bags and pokeballs.
"Ditto, to!" The Ditto said softly. The woman, although she could not fully comprehend what her Pokemon said, nodded her head.
"Yes, let the party begin." And with that said, she released all of her Pokemon, immediately wreaking havoc amongst the trainers' belongings. Nothing could be heard as the door closed itself and the woman locked it. Now all she had to do was wait for the results…
Oh crud. I do not want my stuff to be in there right now. But yeah, who is that mysterious Team Rocket admin, and why does she have a particular dislike for Krystee? Maybe next chapter will explain it…
Oh yes. Updates may be scarce now. Apparently, my teachers don't like me writing fanfics if they give me anymore work X_X School's been a blast though…
