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.
There I stood, on one end of the room and on the other was the Karate King. I noticed there was a crowd of students, sensei's, and pokemon. Looking around, I spotted Mark, who once again had a weird look in his eye, like he was plotting something. Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee were on both sides of him; Hitmonchan was playing some hand held console. "Good, now they're gonna see my true power"
"Loooooseeerrrrrr" I heard a voice call from the side. My face showed disappointment. "Oh great, just who I need here"
"The match will begin when both trainers choose their pokemon" a judge explained on the sides.
"Go" I released my pokemon.
"Hoo Hah!" The Karate King yelled, throwing his pokeball.
Predator and his own Hitmonchan were brought forth.
"Begin!" the judge called.
"Drill Peck" Predator span, drilling through the air.
"Wait for it" Hitmonchan stood there, preparing for something. "Now Counter"
Right before the attack hit, Hitmonchan moved slightly to the side, grabbing Predator's neck, flipping him over and smashing the long-beaked pokemon into the ground. The boxer than raised its fist, electricity surrounding it.
"Thunder Punch" The Karate King called.
"Roll outta the way Now!"
Luckily Predator was able to move himself away from the incoming attack.
"Get back and use Air Cutter"
Predator jumped into the air and slashed his wings in the air several times, sending a few waves of sharp wind at his opponent, hitting him and the ground around him, causing a dust cloud to surround the boxer pokemon.
"Sky Uppercut" Hitmonchan leaped out of the dust cloud into the air, swinging his fist from under and striking Predator's jaw. The impact sent Predator upwards and into the ceiling.
"Tsk" I was a bit worried, but that last attack left Hitmonchan open. "Heh, Aerial Ace"
Predator fixed himself and flew downwards at a quick pace. The vulnerable Hitmonchan was swatted by Predator's wing, propelling him down back to earth and crash landing. Although the attack hit hard, Hitmonchan stood back up, but luckily he was exhausted.
"Drill Peck" I called.
"Ice Punch"
Both pokemon charged at each other, Predator's beak meeting Hitmonchan's fist, both trying to overpower each other. The tornado around Predator, created by his attack, was sucking up the icy mist that surrounded Hitmonchan's fist, dispatching the attack. Hitmonchan, unable to hold off Drill Peck any longer, took the attack full force and landed onto the floor with a thud, unconscious.
"Not bad, but can you handle this one. Hoo Hah!" he yelled again, releasing his own Hitmonlee.
A little bit a sweat formed on my face. "I've lost to every Hitmonlee I've fought, but, this time it'll be different"
"Think you can go for more"
'Of course!' Predator crowed.
"Aerial Ace"
Predator flew around the field and hit Hitmonlee in the back.
"Mind Reader and Mega Kick"
Hitmonlee's eyes glowed and he span around.
"Oh Shit!" I cried seeing the mistake I made and watching Predator being sent flying by the force of the kick. He struggled to get up, but then just dropped.
"*sigh* You did good" I returned the bird pokemon to his ball. "Go Yoruichi"
Those who were expecting my Eevee were surprised. What materialized instead was a spiky yellow dog with white fur around its neck.
'Jolteon' he cried upon entry, bouncing side to side.
"Double Kick"
Yoruichi stopped for a second and then bolted forward without warning, appearing in front of Hitmonlee in no time, both pokemon and its trainer unable to react to its speed. Kicking him in the face with his hind legs, he then jumped off his opponent into the air.
"Now Pin Missle"
Angling himself, the spiky hair on Yoruichi pointed itself downwards as he let loose a hail of needles that rained all over and around Hitmonlee.
"Hitmonlee use Hi Jump Kick" Karate ordered, having enough of being attacked.
Hitmonlee jumped high above Yoruichi, then propelled itself towards Yoruichi with his foot out. Getting caught under Hitmonlee's foot, Yoruichi and I could only watch as he crashed into the ground with kicking pokemon's foot on top.
"Mega Kick!"
The kicking pokemon raised its foot high above itself.
"Thunderbolt Quick!" I yelled.
Electricity sparked around Yoruichi as he released a thunderbolt at Hitmonlee, stopping his attack and forcing him back.
"Now Quick Attack"
Yoruichi jumped back up, then vanished from everyone's sight. He reappeared behind Hitmonlee and struck hard.
"So fast" I smirked, hearing someone from the crowd compliment my pokemon.
"Attack with Rolling Kick"
The fighting pokemon turned around to strike back at Yoruichi, but the yellow dog pokemon had already moved out of the way and was now running around the field.
"Mind Reader and Hi Jump Kick"
Hitmonlee eyes glowed again, then once again leaped high above the floor and then fell forward with his foot out; aiming for the spot Yoruichi was going to be at.
"Finish with Thunderbolt"
'You're Finished!'
The yellow dog pokemon stopped and charged for a split second before firing off another bolt of lighting, hitting Hitmonlee. The electricity surging through its body threw it off course and the kicking pokemon crashed into the ground, knocked out.
"Yeah!" I said with joy before Yoruichi tackled me to the ground without any warning and licked my face.
"Excellent fight there" I heard the Karate King say, standing in front of me.
I sat up and smiled at him. "Thanks"
"As proof of your victory here, you may either take an emblem or one of our prized fighting pokemon"
I thought it over and then pointed to what I wanted.
"You want him?" The Karate King said confused. Everyone else looked pretty shocked, except for the students and kids that played with him.
"Yeah I want that Hitmonchan, you said I could take a pokemon" I re-explained his rules. The Karate King's expression changed from confused to happy.
"Alright, Hitmonchan is now your pokemon. Hitmonchan, come over here"
Hitmonchan ran over and the Karate King handed me a pokeball. Then put his hand on Hitmonchan's shoulder.
"He's seen what I've seen in you, so listen well" he turned to me.
I stood up and tapped his head with the ball. He went in without any trouble. I scanned the room, everyone seemed quite impressed with my victory, everyone except Mark, he was nowhere in sight. "Huh, I wonder were he went?"
"Do you know where Mark went?" I asked, but he shook his head. Everyone else also shook their heads. "I guess he was busy, oh well I won the match, that's all that matters"
"You just got lucky" I heard a voice from behind me say. "Oh yeah, she's here"
"You actually had trouble fighting a pokemon you had an advantage over, just terrible"
I didn't turn around to acknowledge her. "Just ignore her and walk away" I turned back to the Karate King.
"Anyways, thanks for the match and I'll see ya around" I left the room and headed for the exit when I was stopped by some of the students. They were holding a bag towards me.
"Please have these, we know Hitmonchan is going to want them"
I took the bag and thanked them for it. Leaving the dojo I took a quick look inside the bag.
"Jack Pot!" I cried happily. Inside the bag were handheld games. I continued walking looking into the bag, not watching where I was going until I bumped into someone.
"Oh sorry bout that"
"It's alright, I myself was not paying attention either" the person explained. It was a lady; I'd say early twenties, with shoulder length dark green hair. She was wearing a purple tank top, with white pants, purple shoes, and had bracelets around her wrists. She looked around like she heard something.
"Um, what are you looking for?"
"Nothing" she answered. "I thought I heard something. I must be going now, I will see you again when you come to challenge me, Eddy" she said, walking past me.
I stood there confused a bit. "Wait, what do you mean by challenge? How'd you know my name?"
She stopped. "I scanned your mind and found that you sought a battle with the gym leader of this town. I am Sabrina, the gym leader and I will be looking forward to our battle" she said before walking off again.
I stared at her, trying to understand what had just happened there.
"Oh well, back to the center"
Don't you hate it when you run into someone who knows who you are, but you haven't got the slightest clue who they are, I know I do.
Anyways we defeated the Karate King, whose name is never actually found out, Yoruichi has evolved and we now have our final party member.
