EliteDog: well that answer's my previous question, but it doesn't "explain" how... but i guess you'll revile that later
Do you think I should leave 'em bugging or should I tell him in the next chapter. PM your decisions or just put it in your next review.
Anyway thanks for the nice reviews and words on my writing and thanks for correcting my deal with the Aqua Jet instead of Water Jet I was having some complications when I wrote that part. My sister was sick and throwing up and I had to leave and seemed to mix up my words anyway thanks and I changed it to Aqua. And I'm going based on the game I have mixed with shows and a little bit of real life and the Grovyle I used to have on Ruby never had any effect on rock types.
Chapter 3
He woke to Destiny sitting on his chest looking at him with a smile as he smiled as well, eyes blinking up at her. Yellow eyes that danced with flames of bravery and strength… it was something she noticed even when he was just a scared little boy. He had came to her even though she was scarring him worse than ever but he knew there was something bothering her and helped her despite the fear of getting hurt. Now he was a strong young man and had courage unlike any other.
"Good morning Harley" Destiny smiled looking in to the yellow eyes that said what was on his mind.
"Good morning my Angel" Harley smiled grabbing her and hugging her tighter, "So it wasn't a dream, you actually evolved"
"Yep, how are you feeling this morning?"
"Happy, excited, but still tired as hell" He said, "We need some thing to get us going today"
"I agree" She said looking at him, "Let's go check out the gym before we actually battle the leader"
"Sound s like a good idea" He smiled, "We can see what Derk actually looks like"
"You know his name, and what he's like but you don't know what he looks like"
"Sorry but I don't really watch TV, I'd rather be front row of the action" Harley chuckled as she let him up to get dressed. This go around he wore his hat the right way, "Well I guess we should go eat breakfast or something first"
"Oh yeah" She smiled jumping up to dance around a bit, "I want pancakes"
"Let me guess" Harley smiled picking her up, "With Pecha Berry flavored syrup?"
"Yay" She laughed looking around the room as he put her on his shoulders, "My sweet snacks, here I come"
"I sometimes think you're an honest to Arceus kid at heart"
"Whatever" Destiny said as they walked onto the street with a smile, "Hey, you should use one of those apps on the trainer phone"
"Good idea" He smiled, pulling it from his pocket and setting it on voice command, "T-phone, locate pancake and waffle house"
The map popped up on screen and made him smile as he started running to the closest one around. He laughed as he ran into the breakfast place and found a place to sit. He found a place at the far end and sat in the booth and letting Destiny to jump to the next seat and they claimed it as theirs. Harley was thinking about the trainer that had forfeited the match to him. Short green hair and dark blue eyes… He laughed remembering his strange clothing. Blue long sleeve shirt, black mid thigh shorts, and to tie it all together… green flip-flops. He looked at Destiny who sat patiently waiting for a waiter or waitress.
"What can I get you Harley?" He looked up to see the a pretty girl that seemed to be 20 years old, "Sorry, I was there watching manly your battles"
"Well I'll take a short stack of chocolate ship waffles and a short stack of pancakes with Pecha berry syrup if you have any"
"Of course" She smiled walking away from them to place their orders.
"So why is this city called Goldarious?" Destiny asked with a smile.
"Because back when the city was first founded" Harley explained, "It was nothing but a large Gold Mine" Harley saw the awe in her red eyes, "See people kept coming to get a job as miners and so on the place was called City of Gold. Well the war cleared out the gold and this place became a ghost town until a fossil maniac came to search the mines. That fossil freak renamed the town Goldarious because his name was Darious. Derk is a decendant of Darious"
"How do you know all this?"
"9th Grade History" Harley smiled looking around before pulling out his Pokedex, "I just realized I haven't scanned your new form yet"
Kirlia: The Emotions Pokémon
The second evolved form of Ralts. If its trainer becomes happy, it over flows with energy, dancing joyously while spinning about. Its horns amplify its psychic power causing air distortion often resulting in marrages.
Height: 2' 7" Weight: 44.5 lbs Ability: Trace
Harley put away his Pokedex with a speed of his own as the waitress came forward with their orders. Hm, I wonder if Nurse Joy found an incubation unit for that egg I brought in, He thought as he watched Destiny devour her breakfast with a different typ of speed. He cut a piece of his waffles and forked them into his mouth. He smiled as he tasted the rich smoothness of the chocolate on his tongue. He began eating, trying to catch up to Destiny before she finished. He knew he was destined to lose as he saw Destiny take her last bite. He smiled finishing shortly after her. They paid the bill then they were off to the gym. He looked up checking out the streets as they kept around, their destination marked on the map on his T-phone. It was hard navigating the crowded streets of Goldarious. People were everywhere and Harley having to shoulder his way through without knocking Destiny off. It was a smile in the crowd that got his attention though as he shouldered his way through a big group of people. He grinned as the figure disappeared. The trainer from yesterday… he's been watching me. Harley continued moving through waves of people. His favor going through their connection thanks to Destiny's psychic power. She used her nimble legs to keep balance on his head as she turned slowly and watched for the man. Harley could feel he was being watched but even with her psychic powers, Destiny could not find anyone following or watching them. He decided to let it go for the moment but would find the trainer later.
"If you're feeling, come get some pop" Destiny said out of the blue.
"What?"
"The sign says that" She pointed to the vendor on their left, "He sells coke and soda pops"
"Do you want one?"
"Can we please" She dropped to hug him tightly.
"I guess… It is hot here" Harley smiled pushing through to the vendor, "How much for two bottles of soda?"
She turned and in surprise took a step back and away from him, "It's you"
"Hey Alex" Harley smiled looking at her, "you work this cart… that's quite the surprise"
"Yeah" She said, "When me and my brother aren't looking for people to battle"
"Oh, cool" HE said pulling up his wallet, "So how much for two?"
"A dollar a pop" She said with a smile, "There are many different flavors as well"
"I'll take a…" Harley looked at the flavors on the card she held up, "an Oran and a Pecha" Knowing Destiny she wants the sweetest thing on the list.
"Two bucks" Harley handed the 2$ over to her and grabbed the two bottles she handed over to him, "So I see… Destiny evolved"
"Yeah she evolved during the battle gym tournament yesterday" Harley smiled looking at the cute Kirlia that sat upon his shoulder, "Well we'll let you get back to work"
"See you around" Alex said with a wave.
"Most definitely" Harley smiled as he took a sip of his soda. It was sweet but not as bad as the Pecha that Destiny drank.
Harley laughed, Imagine that… she has a job Destiny was silent still drinking at her soda. Harley took another sip of his with a smile. It was a good balance of flavors with perfect suds. Harley drank his slowly though, knowing it might mess with his stomach because of the heat. Destiny was doing the same with hers, in perfect time with him. He looked at his T-phone once more and saw that he was only a few more blocks away. He smiled turning down a small alley and started walking the free space thanks him being the only one in the alley. It was a bad idea as he soon found out…
"Let's get this kid" Harley heard someone say behind him, "He's all alone"
"I wouldn't do it" Harley said drinking down the rest of his soda before breaking it against the wall, still holding the sharp neck in his hand, "Back off or I'll take you to hell with me"
"Fine" The leader, or he seemed to be, said pulling a Pokeball, "Go Machop"
"Luvana can you handle this one" Harley said pulling upthe Pokeball, "Go Luvana"
"Machop, use Take Down"
"Attract" Harley said with a smile. Machop gave the perfect sign of infatuation, "Now use Razor Leaf"
Machoip was knocked back and also snapped out of his state of infatuation, "Now use Return"
"Dodge it and give him full force with your Leaf Blade"
Her tail leaf started glowing as she jumped away then jumped back slashing him with her sharpened tail leaf. It wasn't good enough as the Machop jumped away afterward.
"Damn it" Harley said watching the Machop.
"I've had enough of you punks jumping people" It was the guy from yesterday… the one who forfeited the battle, "Get lost or I'll send Beartic after you"
"Yes sir" He called Machop back and started running as fast as his legs could carry him, "I'm sorry"
"Well that was exciting" He smiled looking at Luvana, then to Destiny and finally to Harley, "Were you actually planning on using that broke neck on them"
"Well no, I just wanted to scare them off, " Harley said tossing it into a nearby dumpster, "I'm Harley and these beautiful Pokémon are Destiny and Luvana"
"Hi I'm, Chris" He smiled looking into Destiny's eyes, "I couldn't help but see you and come to help"
"I could've took him down if that Machop wasn't so damn hard when I hit him" Harley looked at Luvana as she spoke.
"Are you okay Love?"
She nodded looking up at him. Destiny smiled trying to read Chris' mind, Damn… why can't I get through? She just gave up for the time being. Harley smiled looking away as Chris just started laughing. He was acting just a little crazy in Harley's eyes.
"Sorry" Chris said with a smile, "She's trying to read my mind but can't"
"Destiny stop, that's rude" Harley said with a laugh.
"Sorry… something doesn't seem right about him"
"You can at least give him the benefit of the doubt"
"Sorry" She said looking at Chris.
"So you can understand Pokémon as well"
"Well so far it's just Destiny" Harley admitted, "I'm still getting use to listening to more than just her voice"
"Well I'm sure you'll have it before you leave the city" He smiled, "So where you going?"
"To check the gym out before I actually call a challenge"
"That might be hard, some os the trainers that work for him like to make it hard to reach him and will take anybody on if they have Pokeballs with them"
"We'll be careful" Harley smiled looking at Luvana, "You want up here with Destiny?"
"Yes, please"
"Okay" He picked her up and put her on his shoulder. They walked away from Chris with smiles on their faces.
Harley walked the last few blocks and looked at his friends every now and then. It would be different to battle the gym leader. He walked through the door with a happy hello only he was sad to see trainers pulling Pokeballs out and tossing them the minute he walked through the door. He looked at them with a smile as others throughout Pokeballs as Destiny and Luvana joined them. These guys don't look like they work here, he smiled as he shouted out attacks, or trainers here for a battle. He looked at the man that stepped in front of him with a wide grin as he sent out a Vibrava and a Nidorina. He sent out both of his Pokémon to take care of them.
"Luvana take care of Vibrava since you can keep up with him, Destiny you're strong against poisin you can handle Nidorina" He said with a yell over the noise. He smiled as the trainer's face showed a bit of doubt, "Destiny Psyshock. Luvana use Leafstorm"
He watched as the man was soon telling his Pokémon to dodge the attacks and trying to use a counter attack. Harley was quick on the draw when it came to thinking of strategies because he would often play fight with his older sister who was currently a Ranger and traveling everywhere they needed her to go. He told Destiny to use Magic Leaf and saw the look of horror registered on his opponents face.
"Vibrava avoid it for as long as you can" The man shouted and watched as Harley closed his eyes. He could tell the kid had somewhat of a natural talent and some experience with Pokémon, "What the hell are you planning kid?"
"You'll just have to keep battling to find that out" Harley opened his eyes and showed that he was having fun annoying this guy by showing a little skill even though he had no skill what so ever… Harley just went with the flow of the ocean and finding that this method worked best for him, "Luvana use Razor Leaf on that clown's Nidorina"
"Roger Dogder!" She said.
He smiled as he even understood what she just said. Why am I able to understand Pokémon after hearing them a couple of times? He thought to himself, Then he heard Destiny's voice echo in his head for a second.
"Harley… These people are here to still all of Derk's Pokémon" She seemed to be yelling at him mentally.
"Okay… That just gives us reason to pound on them until they can't even walk" Harley's eyes flashed a dark flaming yellow, "You might want to get out of here… That what I would do if I was you"
"Well I'm not you" He said taking a glance at his Pokémon. His Vibrava slipped up and the Magic Leaf sent him to the ground with a swirl in his eyes, showing that he had fainted, "Damn… Nidorina, forget the Pokémon and attack that kid"
"Not the best idea when I'm mad" Harley said running forward, "Keep Nidorina off of me"
Luvana and Destiny blocked the Pokémon with a poison injecting horn on its forehead. Harley ran shoulder first into the man and slammed into his chest. Destiny had never seen Harley release his anger the way he was now, as he took the man to the ground and sat knees first on the man's chest, fist after fist putting a new bruise on his face. When Harley cooled he got to his feet and looked down to see what he did. The man had two black eyes, a broken bloody nose, and a cut on his forehead… probably from Harley hitting the man's head hard enough that his knuckles split the skin right in half. Luvana just stood there looking at Harley with a little fear and some admiration. He just did this because the man pissed him off? She thought looking at Destiny who had a single tear running down her cheek, It must of took a lot not to get mad at me every time I attacked him and hurt him badly. She looked back to Destiny who actually had a smile on her face.
"The reason Harley didn't get mad at you is because he absolutely adores Pokémon" Destiny said, "He'd let you beat him six ways from Sunday if that's what made you happy. He didn't like the fact that you hated him but he was never mad at you… He even admired how you basically put to him straight that you didn't like him"
"Now look at me" Luvana smiled looking at Harley, "I'm feeling things I've never felt for a human before. I like him… He's the only human I'll probably ever be able to get along with"
"You meet his mom and sisters and you'll like them almost as much as you like him" Destiny said then her eyes snapped forward as she heard the growl, "Harley!"
Harley snapped around and saw the Pokémon charging him. Suddenly the Pokémon jumped forward, using Headbutt. The horn dug into his skin with a sharp pain that Harley had never felt before… burning its way through his whole chest. He fell to the ground as Destiny and Luvana started fighting off the Nidorina.

Harley woke in the white room… an I.V. stuck in his arm and a breathing mask around his face. He seemed to be in the hospital… the nurse walked through the door and jumped seeing that his eyes were open. She smiled as her hand pressed against his forehead and her other ran across the stitches that held his chest wound closed. He tried to speak but the mask muffled his voice to bad.
"Where are my Pokémon?" He asked pulling the mask away.
"They're waiting right outside the door" The nurse said, "Would like me to bring them in?"
"Please" Harley said hoarsely. He knew he had battled Nidorina's toxic poison while he was unconscious, "I just want to see if they're all right"
She opened the door, he could make out little of what she said, "…you… in now… you can't… he's still… weak"
He slowly and weakly patted the side of the bed and they jumped up to look him in the eyes, "How are my girls doing?"
"Harley" Destiny said… tears forming in her eyes, "I'm sorry I couldn't stop her from getting to you"
"No it's okay" He said using his thumb to wipe away her tears. She wrapped her nimble and delicate arms around his forearm and leaned her head against his hand, "What about Love… are you okay?"
"I'm fine" She said as a tear ran down her cheek as well, "I'm so sorry for everything I did to you Harley… I'm so sorry"
He smiled as she gently pressed her head against his stomach. It was just a time for forgiveness it seemed to him. He let his smile fall into a grin as he let them cry themselves out on him… They were basically his best friends already. He wouldn't let anything happen to them and he damn sure wouldn't do something they didn't like, he'd give them his love and keep them happy to be with him. He looked at the nurse who had a tear in her eye as well.
"Why are you crying ma'am?" Harley asked.
"I've never seen such a bond before… not even the best of trainers" pulled up his hospital gown and looked at him, "You're a good man Mr. Sharpe"
"Thank you ma'am" He said before looking back to his Pokémon whose tears had stopped and they were now smiling as they pressed against him. They both took each side of him and laid their heads on his shoulders. He had to smile as he slowly drifted back into sleep. It was going to be an interesting day when he got out of the hospital. It would be funny to see what would happen when people saw him again. He was forced awake though as he heard a loud shout from the door, "Oh for the love of…"
"Harley… me and my brother came to see if you're okay" Alex and Jacob came walking through the door to see that he was laying on the bed giving them a hard stare as his Pokémon slept peacefully on his chest, "Oh crap… Sorry"
"Keep it down will you?" Harley said at a soft whisper. It was almost inaudible as his voice was already hoarse, "Anyway I'm fine… Just a little weak from the poison"
"Well we brought something that might get you back on your feet" Jacob said holding out a neatly wrapped box, "Sorry that it's wrapped in news paper but we couldn't find any wrapping paper"
"It's okay, but why would you get me something when we don't even know each other?" Harley asked looking at the pair.
"We just felt like doing it for you" Alex explained, "I don't really know why, there's just something about you that made me say that we should do this"
"I just agreed because you're the best trainer I've ever met… other then you sis" Jacob said upon seeing Alex's hard gaze.
"Well just don't stand there looking at me open it" Alex smiled then saw him peel at the paper until suddenly his eyes went blank… the yellow loosing it's glow and turning a slight orange color. Then the flame rose out of nowhere, a dark flaming yellow that burned through everything that crossed into his path, "Harley?"
"I'm sorry but I can't use this" Harley said trying to keep himself calm as he could.
"Why not?" Jacob said looking at the red haired trainer that just kept his eyes on the box.
"Because I hate the man that made it" Harley said finally looking at them. It was a Potion of sorts that was made to be used by humans and had a bad effect on Pokémon. The man that had made it was ax bastard that didn't care about family, Pokémon, not even his own loving wife and dedicated son.
"I've never heard of a trainer that hated Walter Sharpe" Alex looked at him and saw the rage.
"Why do you hate him?" Jacob asked looking at Harley, taking the spray from him.
"Because he walked out on me, my sisters, and my mom" Harley's words surprised them, "He beat Destiny almost every day. He beat on me when I tried to stop him. That thrice damned bastard hates Pokémon, he hates me, my own father is a hell bound piece of shit and I want nothing to do with him or the stuff he makes"
"Your name is Harley Sharpe" Alex said looking at him, "Why don't you hate Pokémon like he does"
"I took after my family… the real Sharpe family heritage" Harley looked at Destiny and Luvana, "He's the first Sharpe to never be a trainer and I will never be the second"
These words made his heart rate go through the ruff, the monitor beeping like crazy, "I'm sorry but you must leave" The nurse rushed in and pushed Harley's head down to the pillows, "Calm down, Mr. Sharpe"
Destiny looked up at him and spoke words he hadn't heard since the first time his rage got the better of him, "You have your father's anger issues"
His anger slowly decreased and he frowned, looking around before he fell unconscious with a little help. He didn't really understand how it had happened but he was surrounded by darkness. It was bad hearing Destiny say those words but it pushed his anger away when it rose to high levels at inappropriate times. His mind clouded once more and he found himself in as calming dream.
"I blocked his subconscious for the time being so he'll calm down" Destiny spoke to the nurse telepathically, "He'll wake up sometime about tomorrow morning"
"Are you always keeping his anger in check?" The nurse asked.
"No… sometimes I have to but most of the time he does it on his own" Destiny looked at the only person she would ever need to be happy. His peaceful expression as she slipped out of his mind to let him dream, "Other times it's appropriate for his anger to awaken, and there's the rare times to provoke it so he lets out everything that's bottled up inside him"
"You know him well" The nurse smiled, "You've been together for a very long time, haven't you?"
"Since he was five" Destiny smiled.
Sorry for taking so long... once again I was writing so many stories at the same time and then I was hit with major writers block and everything but I'm back and don't worry I'm not going anywhere.
Peace out,
ArchAngel
