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.
Author's Note: To those who ask, no the pokemon do not talk and the humans do not understand them, I, the author, am only translating what they are saying.
Also, Gurren Lagann fan's, don't kill me.
"Thank you for paying the fine. May this never happen again" a guard at the gate by the end of cycle road said.
I walked away, begrudged having to pay for some damage I had caused, but in my defense they should have put a warning sign on how steep it was.
Flashback
"Thank you for the loan" I said gratefully to the guards of cycle road for loaning me a bike since I didn't have one.
"Anytime, just return to the guards at the end of the road" the replied.
I left the gate and hopped onto the bike. It wobbled a bit as I peddled forward.
"It's been a while since I've biked" I thought.
Within a few moments I steadied the bike having readjusted to riding one. I began to pick up my pace and go faster. I enjoyed the feel of the wind going through my hair. Although I was enjoying the moment, a thought crossed my mind.
"I wonder why they only let you take bikes through here"
I got my answer when I started to speed up and had no control. I then realized that I was going down a hill and a steep one at that. I saw a pond up ahead of me, so I turned when I saw another trainer going up the hill. I swerved away, but only to realize that I turned back towards the pond.
"Oh cra-"
That was all I could say before the front of the bike entered the pond and with the angle of the bike and the pond, I flipped over and was skipping on top of the pond like a rock. Once I was out of the pond, I was still falling down the hill at a fast pace, with the bike close behind. I couldn't see a thing while rolling, but I caught a glimpse of what looked like a fence. Crashing through the fence, I finally stopped spinning to see that I was suspended above water, before falling into the water and the bike following afterwards.
"Hey are you okay?" a guard asks as he pulled me out of the water.
"Yeah I'm okay" I was trying to keep my balance, being still in a daze form the fall.
"Man you did a number here" the guard stated as he looked at the fence. "You're going to have to pay for this"
I tripped face first into the ground, before muttering. "Dammit"
Flashback Over
"Roooow" Predator screeched while flying through the air.
We were having lunch and nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Konata was reading, Firaga, Rena, and I were taking a nap, and lastly Yoruichi was pawing a bottle I had emptied during lunch.
Predator was soaring through the air, practicing his aerial maneuvers, working off his meal. While enjoying his flight, he failed to notice another bird creature flying in the air and collided. I awoke to the sound of screeching, but was unable to react fast enough before two birds crashed into me.
"AHH"
I sat up scratching the back of my head, wondering what hit me, when I noticed Predator and another bird pokemon lying in front of me. The bird was tan colored, looked like it could carry few people, and had long hair. The pokedex called it a Pidgeot.
"Hey Pidgeot, where are you?"
A guy with a mo-hawk, a red tee-shirt, and blue suspenders appeared out from the trees. He noticed his Pidgeot lying on the ground next to Predator and ran over.
"What happened, dude why wasn't your pokemon paying attention to where it was going?"
'Yeah you should watch where you're flying'
'Hey you're the one who crashed into me' said Predator.
"Um, what happened?"
"Your bird there crashed into my Pidgeot! I demand an apology" he said, quite loudly while pointing at Predator.
"Dude chill out, look were sorry, I'm sure it was an accident"
"Accident my ass, your pokemon just doesn't know how'da fly"
Okay now I'm getting irritated. "Look we said sorry, don't go insulting my pokemon's abilities"
'You said sorry, I didn't'
"I'm just telling it as it is. Your bird needs to learn how to fly"
"Alright that's it"
"We challenge you. Tomorrow afternoon" I pointed at him.
He grinned. "Sounds good, my name is Josh. See ya tomorrow" and he left back into the forest.
I packed up my stuff and we headed into town.
While getting my pokemon healed I decided to get some info on Josh.
"Josh is well known around these parts's" Nurse Joy explained to me. "His Pidgeot is strong and they've defeated our Gym leader"
"Really, well I refuse to lose to this guy and when I beat him, I know I'll be ready to take on the next gym"
Chansey came out of the door with my pokeball's.
"Good luck with your battle" Nurse Joy said and I left out.
I released Predator when I got to the woods.
"Okay, Josh actually has a reputation around this area and even beat the gym leader, so we need to train hard" the response was a battle cry which was all I needed.
We spent the rest of the day battling other trainers in the area, which luckily were a bunch of bird keepers. We also practiced on trees and rocks, trying to make his beck and wings stronger.
Eventually night came, but we continued with our training.
"Use Peck on the tree and Steel Wing on that boulder"
Surrounded with broken trees and shattered boulders, Predator flew forward and punctured the tree, his beck going right through it. Then ripping it out, flew towards the only boulder left untouched with his wings glowing, smashing it completely, debris flying everywhere.
"Hey, good job man. I think were ready now" I patted him on the head.
'I ain't losing to him'
We called it a night there and headed back to the center.
Back in the forest we stood, prepared for the battle, but something there was also something else.
"Why is this crowd here?" I stared in confusion at the crowd around us.
"I don't know" Josh said, equally confused.
"Sorry that would be my fault" Nurse Joy walked up from the crowd. "I told some of the locals around and they spread the news. Josh is just as famous as Koga"
Like his ego needed more of a boost. "That's right, I've beaten every trainer that's crossed my way, I could take on the League with my skill if I wanted to." he said with a goofy grin. Pidgeot crowed beside him, looking just as cocky.
"Don't matter what skill you have, the fiery passion of our fighting spirits will win this" Predator responded with a screech.
"Okay, that sounded gay. Let's just start this."
Pidgeot was the first to take flight and was followed by Predator. They circled each other for a bit before we finally called out attacks.
"Aerial Ace"
"Wing Attack"
Predator flew forward and circled around to attack from the back, but Pidgeot blocked it with its wings, before pushing back.
"Now use Quick Attack"
Pidgeot plowed itself into Predators chest, but was unable to pull back before Predator peck at him furiously.
"Now Air Cutter"
He sent two waves of wind at Pidgeot, knocking Pidgeot further towards the ground, before he pulled up.
"Steel Wing" we both ordered.
Both birds clashed with their metallic wings, sparks flying everywhere. Predator slashed from the side, but Pidgeot deflected it before going for a downward slash with both wings. Predator retaliated by holding both his wings over head stopping Pidgeot's attack, then pushed back and went in for another hit. Predator managed a hit to the head, but Pidgeot was able to return.
"Use Quick Attack and then Hyper Beam"
My eyes widened. "Get out of there. Use Aerial Ace"
Predator was able to match Pidgeot's speed for a bit, but lost when Pidgeot sped up even more and u-turned to strike, sending Predator into a fall. Then Pidgeot charged up orange ball of energy in its beak, before firing a huge orange and red beam at Predator, completely engulfing him. When the attack ended Predator was in a crater, struggling to get up.
Josh laughed. "Heh, looks like we're too skilled for your spirit"
My response was a simple smirk.
"Eh, what's with the smile?" Josh said with his face twisted in confusion.
"Don't you know anything about a man's spirit?" I balled my fist and held it in front of me. "It means that we never give up, even when the odds are against us. If we ran into someone bigger then us, then we'll just knock him down"
Predator shot up from the crater.
'Just because you're bigger doesn't change a thing. I am the Predator and you are my prey' he screamed.
My pokedex started beeping and I was happy to see what it said. I snapped my goggles onto my eyes.
"Finish this"
'Finishing MOVE!' Predator sent a barrage of Air Cutter's which juggled Pidgeot around. The last two hit at once which stunned Pidgeot.
I pointed up. "GIGA…DRILL"
Predator began spinning around, with the wind circling along him.
"PEEEEECK" I screamed as Predator rocketed forward like a jet, the wind picking up around him and struck Pidgeot in the chest. Pidgeot screaming in pain while being pushed through the air before being knocked away and hitting the ground with a thud, lying there in defeat. Predator landed beside me, crowing in victory. The crowd around us was cheering and applauding pretty loudly.
"No way, we lost" Josh said astonished by what he just saw.
"Yup, you got skill, but your no match for us yet"
He returned his Pidgeot, dropped my winnings and left.
I turned to my pokemon, with a smile and patted his head. "Good job man, you are the terror of the Kanto skies"
He crowed again. 'Yup, there is no prey that can beat me'
I just noticed the crowd had dispersed, so we called it a day and headed back.
Yo, Tamers here, I am a big Gurren Lagann fan and just had to do this. You were all thinking it.
Not much this chapter, a battle of the birds.
Next time an old friend, a new character and tentacles, hopefully not in the bad way.
Please Review.
