Chapter 14

Bikers Revenge

After about an hour or two we made it to Olivine City. The nice quiet ride gave me some time to get my head level. Though I do feel bad for the trainers that I burned up when they wanted to battle, but hey, I wasn't really thinking straight.

The weather in Johto was changing drastically within the two months I have been here. It started off in the 40's and now its up in the 80's. I sure am glad I brought lots of clothes with me.

"Wow!" Ricky commented as we rode into the city.

There were condos all over the place, towering high into the sky, all of them at least 40 stories tall. Shops littered the streets, making it look almost like a street-mall.

We walked past people as they moved over, making room for the two massive pokemon we were riding. From Arcanine's back I could see over everyone's heads, and could even make out what looked like a Pokecenter down by a shipping dock.

"Hey, Ricky." I said, pointing over to it. "Pokecenter up ahead." But when I turned to look at him, he wasn't there. I stopped Arcanine, turning him around, which made a lot of the people on the street mad. I stood on his back, looking over the crowd until I saw one of Dodrio's heads. I looked harder only to find Ricky standing beside it with several bikini girls hanging on him.

"Eh…" I sighed. "Oh well. Come on, bud. Lets go to the Pokecenter."

***_-Scene Change-_***

It had been weeks since I had been in a Pokecenter, so I took advantage of that. I checked out a room, let Nurse Joy take my pokemon, and the rest of my stuff I dumped off on the bed before I headed to the showers. Pichu stayed with me the whole time, of course, even in the shower. The crazy little mouse was so frightened of new places that no matter where we went he had to be within arm's reach of me. In a way I suppose that's good, but most of the time he wont even let Nurse Joy take a look at him unless I'm there too.

I put some shampoo in my hair, sudding it up before I put some on Pichu's fur. I scrubbed and scrubbed, making him sud-up and look like a puffy Altaria.

"Piii!" He shook his head, making the suds fly off. "Cha!" He smiled as he made a white puffy mane out of the left over bubbles.

"What do you think your doin'?" I asked playfully as I put him under the showerhead, washing off the soap.

"Cha!" He laughed happily.

I smiled looking at him as I put him back on my shoulder, letting my mind drift back to earlier that day. "I'm glad you're satisfied with me, bud."

***_-Scene Change-_***

After Pichu and I dried off I got dressed, putting on one of my newer t-shirts that I had saved away in my PC. It wasn't very special, just a plain white shirt, but in this hot weather it felt pretty good. I still wore my black biker boots and black belt, but I changed out for my lighter, more wore-in blue jeans that I had worn in Kanto. They were old, a little beat-up, but man, they were comfy. I still kept my leather jacket on me, never know where I would need it, as well as my gloves and helmet, but I put my green jacket away in the PC.

After I got dressed I grabbed my book bag, taking everything out of it with the exception of the item holders, which were now empty, and my bike stuff. Pichu hopped on my shoulder as we went into the lobby, but Nurse Joy said it would be a few more minutes until my pokemon were ready, so we decided to go to the Pokemart instead.

Pichu stayed right on my shoulder the whole time, looking around at the large buildings and all the people. For it being a large city though it sure had a small Pokemart, it was almost non-existent. But, I guess I can understand why with all these street shops, you could buy anything you want within a one block radius of the Pokecenter. We walked into the mart and stocked up on everything I thought we would need. Poke-food of all kinds, bottled water, a few revives, full heals, you know, all the usual, and then stored them in our item holders. When we were done there we went back to the center, gathered up my pokemon, and then walked out again.

I took a deep breath, taking in the ocean air. "Ah." I smiled. "You know, Pichu, It's been forever since I got to enjoy the beach." I smiled, looking down the road, which lead to a background of clear blue ocean waves. "The last time was…" I paused, thinking back to when me and Shonna were sitting under the stars in Kanto, looking up at the moon. The night she said I was… 'a good friend'.

"Pi?" Pichu nudged me concerned.

"Oh." I shook it off, putting a smile on my face. "Lets go check it out, want to?"

"Pi!"

I reached into my pants pocket, bringing out the capsule for my motorcycle. I pushed the button, throwing it out into the street as I opened the item holder that held my helmet, as well as Pichu's goggles. I slid his on over his eyes and slipped my helmet on. I hadn't noticed, but while I was doing that my bike had attracted a lot of attention. About 10 people gathered around, looking it up and down as I raised the hood, slid in, and then closed it up around me.

"Where did you get that?" This guy asked.

"Uh… In Kanto, about a year and a half ago, I think." I answered.

"What model is it?" Another guy asked.

"I don't know." I laughed.

Before long I had about 20 people around me, all shouting at me asking me questions about it. I never quite understood why, but if I get pressured like this I get very claustrophobic, and having people all around me shouting for me isn't helping me much. I guess I should get use to it though, for being a Pokemon Master I have avoided the press and fan clubs quite well. But this is getting too much, I can't think, I can't breath, I need to get out of here.

I looked over at Pichu who was in his cup holder, looking back at me. I watched as he gave me thumbs up, letting me know he was ready to go. I smiled, revving the engine, making everyone clear a path as I sped away, down the road to the beach.

***_-Scene Change-_***

Sadly, the beach was not like the ones in the Seafoam Islands that I use to visit when I was a kid. Tourists were everywhere, and with them came all their trash and litter that they left behind. The beach was covered in filth. Cans laid all over the ground, clumps of tar washed up on the shore, and the sand looked more like ground up dirt than sand from all the filth that it was mixed with.

It was awful, nasty, absolutely disgusting, and the worst part was not even the trash, but all the trashy girls that were running around acting like whores. I kept driving down the beach, trying to find someplace that looked halfway decent so I could let my Pokemon play, but… nothing. What I did find, however, shouldn't have surprised me, but it did.

Down at the far end of the beach, before it turned into a semi tropical forest, stood Ricky, surrounded by seven girls, all of which were in skimpy two-piece bikinis. I drove up on the beach beside them, parking the bike in place as I looked at them all so strangely.

"Hey, Kyle!" Ricky waved at me. "I was afraid you would skip town on me again." He walked up to me, the girls still hanging on him. "Hey, nice clothes. I'm glad you changed out, you were getting' kinda raggedy in those old ones."

"Please." I rolled my eyes as I raised the hood of my bike, getting out and taking off my helmet and gloves. "Like I care what you think."

"So… like… who's this?" One of the girls asked as she hugged on Ricky's arm.

"He's my friend, Kyle." He smiled.

"Somewhat…" I said, rolling my eyes. "This stupid kid wont stop following me."

"So…" Another girl spoke up. "You're not part of that bike gang?"

"Bike gang?" I asked.

"Pi?" Pichu also asked, peeking his head out of the cup holder before running up my arm on sitting on my shoulder. He moved his hands over his goggles, pushing them up to the top of his head. "Pi-pichu?"

"Awwwwweee!" All the girls said in unison as they left Ricky's side, running over to me and grabbing Pichu off my shoulders.

"I knew none of those goons had a bike as cool as his!" One girl said.

"I know! And, like, no bad guy would ever have a cute Pichu like this!"

"I know!" The girl in pigtails chimed in. "Isn't he so hot!"

Ricky and I both jumped as the girls said this, then they continued on.

"Like yeah! Total, husband, material! He has a cute pokemon and drives a motorcycle! I think I'm in love!"

The girls were hugging, pulling, pinching, and fighting over Pichu so much that I thought that they were going to break him. Then I saw his eyes close, his pink cheeks turned yellow, and sparks started to shoot out.

"Watch out!" I screamed, running into the group of girls, grabbing Pichu away from them as he let out a massive Thunder Shock attack that shot static straight through my body. I swear, it felt like my heart stopped. When the attack was over I opened my eyes, and to my surprise, I didn't see hair in my face. "What the…" I ran my hand over my head to find that every hair I had was standing straight up. "Oh… Wait, if my hair is like this…" I turned around to the girls around me to see that everyone of them had their hair standing up on end.

"Bwa-hahaha!" Ricky started rolling on the sand laughing and pointing at us. It really didn't bother me, I didn't care, but the girls on the other hand didn't look too happy.

"You shut up, Ricky!" One screamed. He opened his eyes to see all seven of the girls standing around him, looking down at him.

"Hey, what?" He chuckled. "Don't get mad at me, babe… babes…" He stood up. "After all, it was the little rat that shocked you."

He got a hard kick in the shin by one of the girls. "Don't you say that about Pichu!"

"Yeah!" Another girl spoke up. "He's just a cute little pokemon, you big meanie!"

They all started yelling at him, and kicking him feverishly. I couldn't help but laugh at him as I put my long hair back in its place. "Isn't that funny Pichu?"

"Pi?" He looked at me questionably as he crawled back on my shoulder.

"Haha." I laughed. "Just the fact that he always tries to get girls it hit on him, and now that he gets it, he's complaining."

"Pi…" Pichu looked down sad.

"Oh buddy, don't worry." I said with a smile. "You didn't do anything wrong. It was those girls, they-"

I stopped midsentence when I noticed all the girls, and Ricky, start to look behind me towards the road. I turned around, looking up the road at five motorcycles that were driving right for us.

"Ahhh!" The girls screamed. "It's the bikers!"

"Oh come on." I turned to face them. "How bad can these guys really be?"

"They came here about a year ago and have been running the town ever since." One of the girls shook as she spoke. "Not even the police can catch them."

"Oh wow." I rolled my eyes, thinking back to Kanto when I use to run away from the cops with ease. "I'm REALLY scared." I said with more than a hint of sarcasm.

"Janet, lets go." One of the girls begged. "I don't even want to think about the last time they saw me."

"Did they hurt you?" Ricky asked, jumping up to his feet.

"Don't even think about it!" Janet said. "They will kill you!" After that all seven of the girls ran down the beach.

"Hm…" Ricky said, walking up to me. "She's got a really nice-"

"Just shut up." I cut him off, raising the hood of my bike. "Hey, you wanna get out of here before those 'bad guys' get here?" I chuckled.

"I think you're a little late, dude." When Ricky said that I was already in my seat, ready to take off when a large bike pulled up beside me. The bike was big, really big, but it still didn't match up to the 12-foot bike I was in. But his motorcycle wasn't what caught my eye, it was his face. He looked so familiar, but I couldn't place my finger on where I'd seen him before. He was tall, bald, and fat. He had a scruffy looking leather jacket, pokeballs around a black belt, and a torn shirt that looked like it came from the dump. I must say, he also smelled like he came from the dump.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" He spoke.

"Hey, Buck!" A skinny guy jumped off a bike from behind me. "Isn't that the same guy from Kanto?"

Buck… Buck…

"Yeah, Jed, it is, isn't it." The guy gritted his teeth.

Buck and Jed… Buck and- "Wait!" It hit me right then. "I remember you! You're that pompous dick head that I beat up on Cycling Road!"

"You didn't beat me up, punk!" He pointed a finger at me. "I'll have you know… the sun was… in my eyes… yeah."

"Yeah, sure." I rolled my eyes as I started my bike. "Well, I would love to whoop your butt again, buuuut…" I turned on the radio, tuning into a hard rock channel. "You're not worth my time."

"Oh really." Buck looked over at Ricky, grabbing him by the neck. "If you leave, I'll break his neck."

I stared at him for a while, contemplating about it. Lets see, in one hand I could never be bothered by the guy again, or in the other hand I could save him and he would never leave me alone.

"Well?" He yelled. "What's it going to be?"

"Kyle!" Ricky called out, gasping for air. "Come on! Help!"

"Eh." I shrugged, kicking up the kickstand.

"What's wrong, wussy? Running away to that bimbo of yours?" Buck cackled. I stopped what I was doing, and then glared over at him.

"Fine." I cut the key, standing up, cracking my neck. "You want your butt kicked again? Well guess what, you just made it to the top of my list." Once again, I guess I can thank my mother and my brother for all those bloody fights I had to live through.

I saw Buck smile, letting his eyes focus behind me. Behind me? Why behind me? Unless… I moved out of the way just in time to miss one of the guys try to jump me from behind. I stuck my foot out, tripping him as he fell into the sand. When I did I saw another guy come up from my left. I purposefully fell backwards, making him miss his punch he swung. I caught myself on the way down, swinging my foot around and kicking him in the knee, making him fall. From there I quickly stood up, but when I did I felt an two arms wrap around mine as Jed put me in a shoulder lock, pushing my head down as he wrapped his hands around the back of my neck.

"Nice job, Jed." Buck said as he started to loosen his grip on Ricky. "Now make him pay, make him pay for everything he did to us. Him, and his skank!"

I struggled to get loose, but he had me in a tight hold. I watched as one of the men got a knife out of his pocket, stepping closer and closer to me.

"What? Are you going to kill me?" I asked, laughing. "Its pretty sad. Not only did you have to gang up on a 16-year-old, but you also are going to kill him. Wow, I wonder how you're going to be able to sleep at night knowing you couldn't even beat up a kid."

"We're not going to kill you." The guy with the knife said as he walked over to my right. "No, we're going for something better." I watched as he walked away from me, heading towards my bike.

"No." I said, looking at him. "Come on! You wouldn't!" I screamed. "You should know better than to ever mess with someone's bike!"

I watched as he scrapped the knife over the paint job, making deep gashes in the side. He then went to the seat, stabbing holes in it, kicking out the stereo system, and smashing in the radio. He then went to the rear tire, the largest tire on the bike, the one that is almost three feet in diameter. He pulled back the knife, stabbing it as it deflated to the ground.

They were all standing around laughing when I looked over at Ricky. I was mad, probably madder than I ever been in my life. Not only did they screw around with my bike, but they insulted Shonna. I will not let them get away with that. I saw a smile come over Ricky's face as he nodded to me. He ran his eyes over to the bike, motioning for me to look over there. I turned my head again to the bike, and this time, I saw something different. Sticking out of one of the cup holders was a little yellow and black ear. I smiled, knowing what Ricky was thinking.

"Oh… you idiots have done it now." I said, looking at Buck. "You better let me go now, or you will regret it."

"Bwahahah!" They all laughed. "Did you hear that boss? The kid is going to make us pay! Haha!"

"Alright, I warned you." I nodded at Ricky. "Pichu! Thunder, now!"

As soon as I said that the sky went black, and a massive yellow beam of light shot out from my bike, shocking the guy beside it with enough force to knock him out.

"What?" Jed screamed, letting lose of his grip from me for just a second, but that was all I needed. I reached up with my left hand, grabbing his hair and pulling his head over my left shoulder. I then tilted my head to the right, leaving and open gap to his face as I swung with my right fist, punching him in the face. I felt his nose break with my first punch, but it took three more to get him to let go. When he finally let go of me I spun around, grabbing his head by the hair with both hands, and ramming my knee into this forehead. When he fell to the ground I raised up my foot, kicking him in the side with my steeled-toed boots. In the corner of my eye I saw a man running at me. I sidestepped him, tripping him with my foot as I kicked him in the face.

I spun around just in time to see Ricky wrap his leg around Buck's ankle, making him them both fall backwards. Ricky landed on top of him, shoving his elbow into Buck's rips repeatedly. I saw that the only guy left standing was already on his bike. At first I thought he was going to ram us, but instead he took to the road, and drove off.

I walked over to Buck, looking down at him as he cough up blood. I grit my teeth as I saw him open his eyes. He reached to grab for my leg, but I jumped out of the way. "I wouldn't do that if I was you." I spat. "Three of your guys are down, one ran away, and I really don't think you should piss me off any more."

"You little…" He coughed. "I'll kill you!"

"Yeah." I smirked. "I'd like to see you try." With that I kicked him in the face as hard as I could, making teeth and blood fly out everywhere. Buck rolled over, knocked out.

"Well that was fun." Ricky said. "You know, except the part where you left me for dead!" He screamed. "What the heck? You were just going to leave me?"

"No." I lied, spitting on Bucks face as I walked over to his bike. "I was going to charge at them with my bike and scare them. But, it didn't work out that way." I took the key out of the ignition, unfortunately, also breaking it in half.

"Really?" Ricky asked. "You were going to try to save me?"

"Don't get use to it." I lied again as I unscrewed the gas cap on the bike. I turned it on its side, letting the gas run on the sand. I pushed the other bikes over to Buck's and did the same. "Hey Ricky." I asked.

"Yeah?" He said as he watched me.

"Got any beer on you?"

"Wow!" He smiled. "I thought you would never ask! Heck yeah I do!" He threw down his bookbag as he brought out an item holder. Inside the holder was close to a thousand dollars worth of alcohol of all kinds. "So what do you want to try for the first drink?"

"All of it."

"All of it!" He gasped. "Dude, not even I can drink all of this stuff! You'd die!"

"Exactly." I said as I grabbed several bottles, throwing them around all over the place, most of them I opened and poured out.

Ricky watched as I poured out all of his alcohol collection. "What are you doing?"

"Making a crime scene." I said, looking around making sure no one was watching. "The bikers have already scared off all the people in this area, and the cops will be up here sometime to check it out. If we make it look like they all got drunk and then did all this crap to themselves…"

"Oh!" Ricky nodded. "Then we will get off Scot-free and they will go to jail with a major fine."

"Bingo." I said with a smile.

I drug the bikers bodies far enough away from the bikes that they wouldn't get hurt, then I packed up my bike as I over looked the damage. If I'm lucky then the bike shop over here might be able to fix it, but… I don't know. I brought out Arcanine as Ricky brought out his Dodrio. "So now what?" He asked.

"Now." I said as I gave Arcanine a pat on the head. "We sit back and watch the fireworks." As we walked away Arcanine spat an ember attack at the piled over motorbikes, all of which went up in flames, thanks to the open gas caps. It wasn't until we made it to the Pokecenter that the first bike blew up. It was a loud enough explosion that you could hear it even two miles away.

The Nurse Joy jumped from her seat as she ran to the door. "Oh my gosh!" She screamed.

"What is it?" I asked, acting like I didn't know what was going on.

"Something blew up at the ocean!" She screamed.

"Really?" I asked, looking down at where we left the bikers. "Aw, man. I was about to go down there too." I lied.

"Oh well." Ricky spoke. "Looks like we'll have to go to the gym instead. Too bad."

"Yeah, I guess so." I smiled. "Thanks for everything Joy, I hope it all works out."

"You all be carful now!" Joy screamed as we walked out.

"So you think she knows?" Ricky asked.

"Knows about what?" I smiled.

"You know…" he looked around uneasy.

"Nope. I sure don't." I chuckled. "I sure don't."
