I do not own pokemon or any reference I may make, they belong to their respective owners.

Characters are based of me and my friends with a few twists.


At the pokemon center outside Mount Moon, Rena had just entered our room's bathroom. She looked at me, curious to what I was doing. I noticed her stare and I explained.

"Well Rena, I'm shaving, after a while male humans will grow hair on their face and some like to get rid of it. It makes you look better to the opposite gender" I explained and she nodded.

'I see'

Just then Konata had walked in; she seemed to have heard the conversation.

'You know it's not just the male humans that do it, the females also do it, just in other areas' she explained

'Where would that be?'

'The legs, back and-' she whispered the last part to her. Next thing I heard was Rena yelp. I turned to see what happened, but I shouldn't have.

"OW, dammit" I looked in the mirror to see the cut. I looked at the dome pokemon, fainted on the ground and Konata standing there with a mischievous look on her face.

'Oh yeah, she's moe' she said. I don't want to know what's going on in her head.


After a couple of hours, we were about half into Mount Moon. I left my pokemon out to take care of the Zubats. We eventually came upon something we saw last time.

"Hey there, been a while, how have you been?" I asked the Clefairy.

'We have been fine; there has been no trouble since the last time you were around' she said while nodding and smiling.

"That's good" I noticed that she was a bit nervous. Just then Konata jumped at it and hugged it.

'It's so cute, it's too moe'

'Help' it cried

"Get off her Konata. So what's wrong?"

'I sense something wrong'

'Like what?' Firaga asked

'Like an evil force'

'Well where's your herd?'

'Their in the usual area, but I sensed something weird, so I thought I'd check it out'

Firaga started signaling me, like he was trying to tell me something.

"What's wrong boy? Is she lost, a little Clefairy fell down a well, right?"

He hit me.

'We're just going to accompany you'

'That's fine'

He signaled me to follow her.

"Well you could've of just done that instead of hitting me"

'You're too stupid to figure out what I was saying'

We started walking, but I kept feeling that someone was following us.


We followed the Clefairy for a while until she stopped.

'I don't sense anything anymore'

"I wonder what was wrong?" I thought. While in thought I heard foot steps coming up behind us. "So maybe someone was following us"

"Who's there?"

Just then I saw a man, somewhere in his late twenties, with short black hair, with black pants and a black trench coat and he was built.

"Damn he looks strong"

"Hello there boy, are you lost?"

"No, I'm just wandering around"

"Oh that's good, sorry I was tailing you for a while, I figured you were lost. See there have been people getting lost in here, so the police decided to hire folks that know the mountains to guide them"

"Really, well I'm fine, but thank you anyways" I noticed pokeballs on his waist. "So you're a trainer, well I challenge you"

"Alright then, but be warned, I am strong. By the way my name is Mark"

"I'm Eddy, ok let's start" I sent out Rena and he sent out this brown humanoid pokemon, but it didn't have a mouth. I pulled out my pokedex and it said this was a Hitmonlee.

"Damn it's a fighting pokemon" "Use Mud Shot" Rena sent a Mud Shot at it, but it dodge with ease. "Shit"

"Use Brick Break" it ran up and sent Rena flying with a punch.

"Rena use-" she was knocked out. My eyes were wide "What power". I returned Rena and sent out Predator.

"Good choice, flying is effective against fighting, but is that enough?"

"Use Aerial Ace" Predator got around Hitmonlee and struck. "Fast, but not fast enough"

"Mhm, use Rolling Kick" it jumped forward spinning in the air and kicked Predator to the ground. "Now Jump Kick" it jumped in the air and dropped with its foot out.

"Quick dodge it" Predator quickly got up and flew away, while Hitmonlee kept going and crashed.

"While its down, use Fury Attack" Predator flew to Hitmonlee and pecked furiously.

"Knock it away and use Mind Reader" it swatted Predator away and then it focused.

"Aerial Ace" "Stone Edge quickly" Hitmonlee summoned sharp edge rocks around him and sent them flying at Predator, who was unable to dodge.

"How did you hit him while he was moving?"

"Mind Reader ensures that the next attack hits"

I returned him and sent out Konata. "Damn even with an advantage I lost, need to think more"

"Use Confusion"

"Dodge and use Blaze Kick" Hitmonlee ran forward with its foot on fire, somehow avoiding Konata's psychic energy and kicked her.

"Dammit, use Hypnosis"

"Close your eyes"

Hitmonlee closed its eyes to avoid the Hypnosis.

"While its eyes are closed, use Confusion" she picked up Hitmonlee and through him near her. "Now use Headbutt" she ran up and was about to head butt him.

"Quick trip it and use Blaze Kick"

Hitmonlee threw his leg forward and tripped Konata. While she was in her mid-air fall, Hitmonlee got up, with his foot on fire, and kicked Konata in the side, sending her flying into the wall. I was shocked, she was laying there, with a burn on her side and scratch on her back from hitting the wall, bleeding. I returned her, he had just knocked out three of my pokemon and I haven't even taken out one.

"Sorry, I didn't mean for her to get to hurt, I'll give her some of my medicine after the match, or do you want to give up? It's quite alright if you forfeit, a real trainer knows when he should give up"

I smirked at his advice. I call up Firaga; I then pulled my goggles up and snapped them over my eyes. Firaga heard the snap and got serious.

"So you're continuing"

"Of course, I'm getting serious now. I don't like my pokemon being hurt too badly, but if I don't let them fight to their fullest, then they won't become stronger. Plus this is getting fun"

'Oh yeah, I've been stuck watching and now it's my turn' Firaga was pumped.

'Don't blame me if you get too hurt'

"Use Dragon Rage" Firaga sent a blue fire ball at Hitmonlee, who dodge it.

"Now use Rolling Kick" Hitmonlee jumped and span around at Firaga, preparing a kick.

"Block it and use Thunder Fang" he held his claws up in defense and stopped the attack. Mark's and Hitmonlee's eyes widen in surprise as Firaga bit down on Hitmonlee's leg, shocking him.

"Now push it back and use Slash on the other leg" he threw back Hitmonlee and slashed at his other leg, making it kneel down on it.

"Impressive, you've brought him down, but he still isn't done. Now use Mind Reader and Hi Jump Kick" Once again like with Predator, Hitmonlee jumped and kicked Firaga, making him bounce up as well.

"While it's in the air, use Mega Kick" its foot glowed and sent Firaga flying with a kick in the gut. After the dust from the impact cleared, we saw Firaga struggling to get up, spitting out some blood.

"How did it stand back up?"

"Shit that's not good, but something good came with it" I notice Firaga's ability activating. "Now use Ember"

Firaga sent giant fireballs at Hitmonlee, which caught him by surprise and burning him as well. Next thing I know, Mark and Hitmonlee start laughing, and well I think Hitmonlee was laughing.

"Huh?"

"You are interesting"

'Your tough kid, but I'm going to finish this now' he ran forward, with his arm glowing and hit Firaga with a Brick Break, knocking him out.

"Damn, we lost. Man you are strong"

"You did well; you brought down my Hitmonlee to his knee"

"Yeah, but he doesn't look tired at all"

"You just need to train more. Anyways here is some medicine for your pokemon" he handed me some stuff, which revived my pokemon and brought them to full health.

"Well thanks, but next time we battle, I'm going to beat you" I declared

"I look forward to it, but I'm only working here for a week. I am sensei at the fighting dojo in Saffron City, come by sometime"

"I will when I have the chance"

"Well I'll be off, helping lost travelers"

"Bye" with that we went our separate ways.


"You seem to be feeling better now" I said to Clefairy

'Yes, I stopped sensing the disturbance a while ago'

'Well it wasn't so bad, we got a nice battle out of it' Firaga said

'But you lost and got injured'

'That just means that we have to got stronger'

'Well anyways keep heading down this way and you'll find your way out' she pointed then the cave.

"That's the way out, sweet, thank you and it was nice seeing you again. Tell everyone we said hi" she nodded and went back to her herd.


It was late at night and we had just reached the pokemon center in Cerulean City.

"Wow your late" Nurse Joy commented

"Yeah sorry bout this, do you have a room left?"

"Yes we have several"

"I'll take one, thank you"

We sat in the room to discuss what to do next.

"Alright like I said, we are going to Lavender, but were gonna also spend some more time training. Were going to beat Mark next time, so first Predator" he responded.

"We need you to master using Steel Wing"

'Got it'

"And the rest of your, were going to try and work with what your bad at and try to learn new attacks as well" they all nodded

"Alright then, let's sleep and then head off tomorrow"


"So that is the boy that stopped Team Rockets plan, he won't be a problem. Soon I will take over the organization and rule the world, for I am Black Shadow" a dark figure said before walking off.


Well another loss, but I'm not going to let it get to me. Now I'm getting serious about training and there's another bad guy.
