Sorry for this really late update! I will be making this chapter super long, because I don't feel like making two chapters out of the last day on the cruise and when they first arrive in La Rousse. Guess who likes May when they get there…!? Fellow reviewer Azngrlelizabeth gave this genius idea to me! Thanks for reviewing!!!!!

The Sunday List Of Dreams
Chapter 6: Knock 'Em Out
Can't knock em out, can't walk away,
Try desperately to think of the politest way to say,
Just get out my face, just leave me alone,
And no you can't have my number,
"Why?"
Because I've lost my phone.
…
"I recognize this guy's way of thinking..."
As he comes over her face starts sinking,
She's like,
"Oh here we go..."
It's a routine check that she already knows; she's thinking they're all the same.
…
Go away now, let me go,
Are you stupid? Or just a little slow?
Go away now I've made myself clear,
Nah it's not gonna happen,
Not in an a million years!

I had to check to make sure I had put up a disclaimer for this story, and thank god I did…! So yeah, that disclaimer basically applies for the rest of this story, since I'm too lazy to add a disclaimer every single time. Hope you enjoy this late updated story chapter! By the way, the song is "Knock 'Em Out" by Lily Allen. It's… hilarious and amazing. It's different parts of the song, lol!
I hope the length is pleasing to the eye as well. Hee hee!
They walked with happiness back to their cabin, their moves so grateful they were practically dancing on air with delight. There was a sort of fluttery feeling in their stomachs, and that odd feeling you get whenever you're falling straight down on a roller coasters, all the positive and negative g's working on your body, and it was downright delicious, if the three had any opinion on it.
"Oh my…" Dawn gasped happily, face positively radiant, but she was quite spacey at the moment, and a few random people paused to wonder how she avoided things and not crash into anything in such a state.
"…God…" May squealed, feelings of joy practically erupting, starting from that butterfly feeling in her stomach that went straight to her face, and she turned slightly pink.
Misty, the only sane one, simply sighed in perfect harmony with the other two.
"Who would have known?" Misty giggled, and May and Dawn furiously nodded in agreement.
"That task is potentially impossible!" May said in a very matter-of-factly voice, like she was a teacher explaining something hard and unexplainable to a class of bored students.
"I'm so happy!" Dawn cried loudly, passerbies stopping to stare at her oddly, wincing at the sound of her soprano voice.
Misty pondered cutely, Togepi cheerfully waving its arms around and practically singing to its unaware master.
"The best way to a man's heart…" She started.
"…" Dawn and May stared at her curiously, leaning in as if she would say something amazingly remarkable that was press worthy.
"Is through food…?" Misty was a little unsure of herself, while May and Dawn looked at her, thoughtful looks on their faces.
"I think they're different." Dawn said skeptically.
"I like how you used 'they're' and not specific names, because we all know you're in denial!" May accused, laughing, as Dawn turned bright red and fumed silently at May. Misty joined in. They then realized that they had walked straight past their door.
"Chocolate?" May asked, tilting her head to the side.
"Nah, too lovey-dovey." Misty commented, and Dawn sighed at her suggestion, flipping through a magazine.
"Clothes?" Dawn asked, eyeing an expensive, but adorable dress a model was wearing.
Misty stared at her, and rolled her eyes. "That's too… stranger-ish."
"Stranger-ish?" Dawn quirked an eyebrow at Misty.
"Well, you know what I mean!"
"Not really." May snickered, and Misty blushed, pouting.
"Well, you give things like ties and clothes to people you barely know, right?" There was a small pause as Misty, May and Dawn locked eyes.
"Oh! I see what you mean now!" May and Dawn chorused, finally getting Misty's judgment.
"How about… just a regular lunch?" Dawn suggested.
"They say the best way is through the stomach." Misty said, but looked a tad dubious.
"And remember how different they are, they probably get these stupid gifts all the time!" May said, dejected and flopping back onto her bed. May sighed, as Togepi poked and cheered her head. Dawn's grip on her magazine was white, and she screeched in frustration before ripping it up.
"This is hopeless!" Dawn wailed, bits of glossy magazine papers with the intense gaze of a model, or little bits of their clothes, flying everywhere, and May blew a piece that had inconveniently landed on her nose, off.
"We need something unique…" Misty commented, gorgeous teal eyes closed as she contemplated her own words.
"I'm not very good at unique." May retorted, and Dawn laughed loudly.
"And you call yourself a coordinator!" Dawn was practically snorting with laughter from where she was, and May restrained herself from going over and strangling her.
"Well…" Misty glanced down at her watch. "Shall we go shopping then? This cruise has an amazing floor filled with the cutest shops! We could find something for tonight; it's our last night on the cruise! Let's leave with a bang!" Misty winked, and the three watched each other, a conspiracy practically gleaming in their eyes.
"Oh, no way! That's the dress I saw in the magazine!" Dawn cried, face super glued to the window, her breath creating fog against the smooth glass.
"Dawn, are you not at all embarrassed at what you're doing?" May pointed out, and Dawn simply shook her head cheerfully.
"Don't worry, I think I can be embarrassed enough for the three of us." Misty said, rubbing her temples.
"Let's go in!" Dawn giggled, practically twirling into the shop.
"Welcome! How can I help you?" A girl in a crisp white shirt and black pencil skirt said politely, a smile on her face.
"I'd like to try that dress on!" Dawn asked, pointing without even looking back, with perfect accuracy at the dress in the window.
"Alright, this way, please!" She smiled friendly, and May and Misty sat down on comfortable, contemporary sofas in white and black in front of the dressing rooms, which were simply walls separating each other with cream curtains hanging off of a rod and clear Plexiglas over it a fancy black number, hanging in between each room. The two sat in front of the only room with its curtain closed, waiting for Dawn to finish changing, They could hear her banging around in the small room, tripping and cursing, and the two sweatdropped at their friend.
"Ta-da!" Dawn cried, opening the curtain open easily with the simple flick of her wrist. She was in a gorgeous, Chinese-styled dress, but it was cream colored with light gold outlines on the hem of the dress, stopping a little above her ankles, with large slits up the side that started from her hip down. It was sleeveless with the neck reaching up to her chin, a light gold dragon climbing from the bottom and around, obviously disappearing as the cloth parted at the sides, but continued upwards and stopped around her waist. On her feet were beige ballet flats. The dress revealed a great deal of leg, but still covering everything that needed to be covered. (1) Needless to say, May and Misty were impressed, and they even clapped in approval.
"That is gorgeous!" Misty gasped, but grinned with shine in her eyes.
"Daring!" May giggled, nodding her head in much approval.
"Now your turn…" Dawn said, eyes gleaming evilly.
"How about this, Miss?" The attendant asked, holding up a gorgeous dress that May couldn't resist, and politely grabbed the dress before rushing into the same dressing room Dawn had been in. Dawn sat comfortably next to Misty, and Misty started snickering.
"What's up, Misty?" May asked, voice coming from across them.
"I was thinking about how much Paul will sweat when he sees you, Dawn!" Dawn blushed bright red, but grinned mischievously.
"But of course!" May laughed at Dawn's comment.
"I'm done!" May said, gracefully stepping out, winking cheekily at the two. May cooed and Dawn giggled happily at May.
"That's hot." Dawn said, nodding, and Misty laughed, nodding in agreement. Togepi, it seemed, giggled as well, jumping and bouncing from on the couch.
May blushed, wearing a silk, red dress that had a deep V-neck, and straps that wrapped around the neck. It cinched along the sides, before stopping at the hip and flaring out in a pleated skirt fashion, and it reached to her mid thighs. The attendant handed her strappy peep-toe wedges that were black in color, with a cute bow on the front.
"Your turn, Misty!" May cooed, and Misty blinked before standing up, just as the store helper came back with another dress, and Misty blushed just looking at it.
"I-I have to try on this…!?" Misty screeched, looking back at May and Dawn's smug faces.
"Just do it." The two said easily, and Misty blushed, before taking the dress and shoes from the woman. She stepped in; face still a brilliant shade of red that would have even made the Coca-Cola label applaud. They heard the rustling of clothes, before Misty's muffled voice came from behind the curtain.
"…You two must hate me." She quickly flung the curtain open, blushing wildly and stepping out. May and Dawn made a funny, but cute, shrill noise as they squealed at Misty. She wore a pastel pink dress, which was strapless with a slight V-neck, the dress clinging to her upper half and accentuating her curves before flaring out to a skirt that went down but stopped abruptly in the front a bit above mid-thigh, before spanning out behind her before stopping at the back of her knees. The hem of the dress was lined with the same colored lace, and she wore cute gold ballet flats on her feet. (2) Dawn and May jumped up to hug Misty, giggling at how they looked.
"I can't believe we're wearing this…" Misty said miserably.
"I think I'm the only one who isn't showing as much!" May giggled, and Dawn snorted, throwing a nickel straight down May's dress. "HEY!"
"See?" Dawn said, complacently.
Guys stared from through the windows outside, staring with red cheeks as the three giggled and conversed with one another about their clothes.
"Whoa…" Was what most of them said.
"Hah! This'll get them!" Dawn said, determinedly and laughing her butt off as she thought of how riled up everyone would be.
"I feel a little…awkward though about this." Misty mentioned, and May waved her hand in a nonchalant way to Misty's worried face.
"It's just tonight." Dawn nodded with May.
"…Well, this is definitely ending with a bang." Misty said, smirking with a mischievous glint that reflected in the colorful orbs of her friends.
They sat, their dresses hanging in their respective bags on the hangers in their closet, as the two conversed with each other, organizing their things into their bags. They packed their clothes and bathing suits, and sometimes they wondered how they were able to fit everything into such small bags. They folded things and packed their make-up and toothpaste, and toothbrushes into their respective bags, leaving only the make-up they'd need for the night out.
"I can't wait to see their reactions…" Dawn sniggered evilly, and the other two were giddy with excitement. Their stomachs were filled with that familiar feeling they usually got, like a million Beedrills were buzzing in their small confined stomachs, threatening to burst out at any moment.
"Well, it's almost time for dinner. I heard they're putting on a culinary kind of thing, like lighting cakes and such on fire for you. It's a good way to end a four-day long cruise!" May remarked, smiling as she untied the bottom of the long bag, pulling it over and off her dress before leaving it to float slowly down onto her bed, beginning to pull off her shirt.
"Mm-hm!" Misty nodded in agreement, pulling her hair out of its ponytail, letting it flow gently and lightly down her back, before grabbing the dress May handed to her, half undressed, and began to strip of her clothes as well.
"I heard they were grouping tables together." Dawn pondered, "We might not end up near the guys."
"Well, I'm sure they'll see us on the way in." Misty said, pulling on a few gold bangles and straightening her dress, before slipping on her comfortable gold shoes, as May combed her hair out, pulling out her mascara from their minimal pile of make-up. May had a large, black beaded necklace around her neck, and a similar bracelet on her wrist. Accessories were key to their solid-colored dresses. Her hair was down and she pulled half of it into a messy bun, letting some hairs fall and gently brush against her cheek, before looking at the mascara.
"Hmm, is this water-proof?" She asked, mindlessly. Dawn pulled her beige clips out, fluffing her hair out slightly, before turning to Misty. She combed Misty's waves out, but kept them in large waves. She pulled out her curler and straightener, plugging it in, and Dawn began on her make-up as she waited for the curler to heat up.
"Hey, do you want me to curl your hair?" Misty asked, applying sheer lip-gloss on, a gold clutch sitting by her, before depositing the lip-gloss in her golden, sequined clutch.
"Yeah, that would help." They hadn't even turned to look or glance at each other, and simply continued in a comfortable silence. Misty noticed the red light on the curler begin to shine, and quickly picked it up.
"Turn around, please." Dawn turned, as May began to finish up her make-up, lip-gloss slipping into her own smooth, black clutch. Dawn's hair was first straightened, before it was curled. Her hair went from straight before curling out into big ringlets near the end, a bit further below the middle length of her hair, and that's when they began to abruptly turn into big curls. Her hair was smooth, and a little bit of hair spray kept the curls in place. Dawn wore thick gold bangles, but that was it. Her clutch was a beige color, and in it were her lip-gloss and other important things that they had decided to bring with them to dinner.
"Ready now?" May asked, as Misty turned off their straightener and the curler, letting it sit and cool.
"As we'll ever be." She commented, and the three stared at their reflections in the mirror.
"…This will be fun." Dawn simply smiled evilly, May and Misty laughing before they slipped out, the door clicking into a lock behind them, as they walked off in the direction towards the elevator.
"Wha--" Plenty of guys were staring at the three girls, as the host led them to their table, his own face bright red as he walked stiffly in his black tux. May, Misty and Dawn walked behind him, a sympathetic expression on their faces.
"Look at them…" Someone furiously whispered in jealousy to their neighbor.
"Wow, that's hot." A few girls commented.
"H-here's y-your t-t-t-table, M-misses…" He pointed at a table that, without a doubt, was full save for three seats. The three sweatdropped, before sitting down, watching the host walk rigidly away.
May sat at the end of the table facing near the center of the room, next to her was Drew, and next to him in order, was Ash, Brock, Melvin, Todd, and Britney. Across from May was Misty, then Dawn, Paul, Max, Brendan, Lili, and Kiki.
"This is awkward…" Misty mumbled, so only May and Dawn could hear her. Dawn adjusted herself in her seat, and Paul had to restrain from looking at Dawn's tan legs. He was practically sweating buckets. Drew twitched as he sat next to May; as she stared at her lap, awkwardly, and he glanced before looking quickly at his plate again, face red. Ash, of course, simply stared at Misty until she looked up at him, and the two suddenly decided to avoid eye contact.
Britney, Lili, and Kiki, whom were sitting at the end of the table, simply reveled in the fact that they were sitting with their idols, not even noticing May, Misty, or Dawn. Brendan stared at May, simply captivated. Brock was looking at his menu, having no interest in this subject whatsoever. Max stared, aghast at his sister. But when he saw the look on Drew's face, a sudden evil face passed in a millisecond, before he turned to his menu as well, grinning the entire time from behind it. Melvin stared at his lap, practically unable to look at Misty. But when he did, he turned a bright shade of crimson and continued to stare at his lap. Todd really wished he had brought his camera now. The boys were in tuxes, standard for such a night, while Kiki, Lili, and Britney wore regular halter dresses in various colors; Kiki in black, Lili in lavender, and Britney in green. Connection to whom…?
'Awkward silence…' Dawn said mentally to herself, before picking up her menu. Paul gave a cough, and Dawn glanced at him, only to notice him repressing a cherry blush on his face. She giggled inwardly.
"G-good evening, w-what will it be…?" The young host was captivated at the girls, but tried his best not to show it. It was a failed attempt.
The table had begun to liven, as they all became comfortable with each other, except for maybe the girls at the end. They were just annoying. They also felt this odd aura that people didn't want them there...
"So where are we going after La Rousse, Misty?" Dawn asked, catching everybody's attention.
"Um, didn't we say we were going to go to Alto Mare?" (3) She pondered at this question.
"Oh yeah, the water capital!" May giggled, noting mentally how much Misty loved water types. A light bulb could be literally seen from above Max's head.
"Hey May!" May turned her head to Max, "Since we're already traveling to La Rousse together, why don't we just travel together after from now on! We'll go to Alto Mare and then we can decide after where we're going!" Dawn glanced at May, as did Misty. The two nodded.
"Sure, Max. It's alright with us." May said casually, and she could have sworn she saw the purest, most evil look on his face. But, maybe all the food she'd eaten was making her hallucinate. Or, at least she wanted to think that.
"Yay!" Max's innocence seemed too… innocent to Brock. He stared at him with a scrutinizing look, trying to see past that innocent façade and into the boy's real, evil intentions that lay deep in his soul.
"Look, it's starting!" Misty pointed out, and one by one the chefs marched out, holding small Alaskan cakes, as the lights dimmed and they all lined up, lighting each small cake on fire, illuminating the room as everybody gasped in happiness, giggling to themselves. Kiki, Lili, and Britney sat in the back, glaring full force at the three girls. They definitely weren't too happy with this arrangement.
The morning had risen too quickly, as the three girls lay in their pajamas that had been put on haphazardly, rolling comfortably against the mattress. Misty's eyes awoke to the sun's beams slightly in her eyes, and she opened and rolled up the blinds, awakening her two fellow companions, as Togepi slept in it's pokeball.
"Good morning…" Dawn said sleepily, clutching her feather-filled pillow. May yawned in respond, and Misty acknowledged the two, and they watched in mesmerized as the sun's morning gleams arose from the horizon, casting a spell on everyone, reflecting off the ocean's surface and creating an even greater charm that simply had the three spellbound.
It was the perfect way to begin a morning. After watching the sun rise fully, they pulled off their pajamas and packed them into their bags, pulling out fresh clothes and strapping their pokeballs on, placing their new expensive clothes into their bags as well, wrapped in a thin white tissue paper for protection.
"Man, today's the last day…" May stretched, sighing loudly.
"It was relaxing, at least." They held their keys in their hands, checking everywhere before exiting their room and walking up to the main indoor lobby, hearing the boat's horn blaring and the ship slowly coming to a stop at the port. They handed in their keys and such, checking out, before exiting to the main deck and waiting to step off.
"I haven't seen anybody yet…" May remarked, and they walked down towards the subway station that linked over the sea towards the city of La Rousse.
"There they are!" Misty pointed out, but a few familiar faces stopped the three.
"I thought we told you to stay away!" Crystal accused, pointing angrily at the three.
"…Who are you?" May asked airily, tilting her head to the side.
"What! I'm Crystal, you idiot!" She screeched angrily, and the three blinked, looking at the girls standing behind them.
"Oh yeah, you're those psychotic fan girls!" Dawn laughed, waving her hand leisurely.
"We're not psychotic! We just treasure Mr. Drew and everyone else more than you ever could!" Britney yelled.
"You're all just really weird." Misty deadpanned, and the nine looked simply traumatized, or angry, in a sense.
"Well, we'll give you one last warning, stay away from them! We'll be watching you three!" Shizuka yelled, as the girls walked away, noses up and an air of haughtiness around them.
"…That's kind of stalker-ish." May commented, before smiling and greeting the five familiar boys they would be traveling with. They also met up with Brendan, Melvin, and Todd on the train to La Rousse, three familiar faces they really didn't want to see.
"So, where should we go first?" Dawn asked, sitting in a seat with May and Misty beside her.
"The Battle Tower, if you guys don't mind." Ash said sheepishly, Pikachu cheering beside him.
"Alright." May shrugged, giggling as Togepi cheered and wiggled happily in Misty's lap.
"We'll come to watch." Brendan said, Melvin and Todd nodding behind him.
"That's even more stalker-ish…" May muttered under her breath, Dawn and Misty the only ones catching her retort, and snickered.
"La Rousse stop. Repeat, La Rousse, stop." The mechanical female voice over the speakers caused the three to stand and walk with the other eight out the sliding doors, and out into the station. A green robot, which was made up of green squares connected together, greeted them and a camera suddenly appeared. They all looked mildly surprised, save for Drew.
"Cheese!" It said cheerfully, and May smiled prettily, as did Misty and Dawn. The others gave their usual smiling faces before they got their ID's as the robot explained to them about La Rousse.
"I've already heard it." Drew shrugged, and the large group began to walk away, Ash leading.
"I wonder, where could the Battle Tower be---wah!" He cried, stepping onto a road that led away from them.
"Ash, where are you going?" May asked curiously, the other two nodding with her.
"What the—" He said, trying to run but only resulted in stepping onto the red lines that moved quicker than the green moving road.
Two girls giggled as they passed, twins wearing orange and pink, a slightly chubby boy grinning, with spiky brown hair and a brown shirt and gray shorts, a boy in a blue uniform behind him sighing in amusement, with brown hair as well.
"Look, look!" The girl in orange giggled, pointing.
"Less haste, more speed." The boy in the blue uniform commented, not even glancing Ash's way.
"What's that supposed to mean!?" He yelled, trying to run against the red road. He quickly fell down, and the road began to carry him, as the two girls giggled and the boy in the brown shirt laughed. The boy in the uniform quickly pulled out a pokeball, but he was beat to it.
"Go, Blaziken!" May cried, and Blaziken burst forth from its pokeball in a dazzling silver light. "Go grab Ash, please!" Blaziken jumped and quickly grabbed Ash before making an amazing jump back, placing Ash down.
"Wow, thanks May…" He commented, and the four from the road stepped off.
"Return, Blaziken!" Blaziken disappeared in the blood red light back into his pokeball, and the four stopped to talk to them.
"Impressive, you have a Blaziken too." The boy in the blue uniform commented. "My name is Rafe. I'll lead you guys to Battle Tower, if that's where you're going." Ash nodded.
"I'm Ash, this is Brock, Drew, and Paul." Ash commented, and they stepped onto the moving road.
"This is Audrey," Rafe pointed to the girl in orange, "And this is Catherine." He pointed to the girl in pink, "They're my younger sisters."
"Rafe, we're finishing our battle today, right?" A girl passed by them in a light pink shirt that reached above her belly, and wide pants. Her long lavender hair was clipped up in the back, and she wore glasses and simply stared at her laptop as she typed away.
"Wow…" Brock immediately turned red and stared at the girl, Max quickly stopping him by grabbing his ear.
"…" The three girls stared at him oddly.
"That's Rebecca; she uses a Metagross and focuses on computerized data. By the way, I'm Sid."
"My name is May, this is Misty and Dawn, and this is my younger brother Max and Brock." She said, pointing to each. Suddenly Sid got in close to May's face, and grinned.
"You're pretty cute…" He mentioned.
"W-what?" She blinked, a little disturbed at his close proximity. Brendan stood behind him, pushing him away from May.
"Sorry, you were in the way." He remarked, Melvin and Todd following him.
"And that's Brendan, Melvin and Todd." She pointed to them too; slightly sweatdropping from his display of 'friendly' affection, if that's what you want to call it.
"There's Battle Tower." Rafe said, and they all gasped.
"Wow, it's so big!" Misty commented, Togepi giggling in her arms.
"So, who's going to battle us?" Sid and Rafe asked, as they talked from inside the Battle Tower, which looked more like a mall than a battle arena.
"I am!" Ash said, grinning. "And…" He looked around, and looked at Misty. She blinked, before sighing.
"And me…" She said, but smiled cheerfully.
"Right. Then we'll meet…"
The two wandered down the halls of the Battle Tower, looking around. They managed to get caught onto some escalators, and Togepi waved its arms around as it looked at its surroundings. They found that they were near the top and at a library. There was a young boy with blue hair sitting in the library, looking around, a Plusle and a Minun on his shoulders. (4)
"Hey, can you show us the entrance to the battling arena?" Ash asked, as the two jogged up to him. He turned, ice blue eyes watching them with a shine of innocence and interest.
"Alright." He smiled, and led them out of the library and down the escalator.
"I'm Ash, by the way."
"And I'm Misty."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Tory." He smiled back at them, as they wove through maze-like hallways before coming up to a mechanized door.
"Here you go." Misty and Ash smiled at him in a thank you.
"Why don't you watch our battle?" Misty suggested, and Tory laughed before nodding.
"Sure!"
A man in a suit ushered the two in, the doors closing behind him. Rebecca ran up next to Tory, panting.
"They beat me here…" She bit her lip in disappointment. "Oh well…" She turned and walked off to go to the stands, Tory following her unconsciously.
The crowd was screaming, the lights facing only at the arena. Misty and Ash arose from one side of the circle in a pokeball-designed ramp, Rafe and Sid across from them.
"Today will be a two-on-two battle!" The MC yelled from his floating podium, flying around as the TV monitors that had bunked together to give display various events and angles of the battle, and grinned to the crowd, as they went wild.
"It's Rafe and Sid against two new comers, Misty and Ash!" He held out both arms to both sides, and the crowd was hysterical.
"Hey, May! Over here! Watch me battle, this one's for you!" Sid yelled, waving furiously and frantically at May. She sat next to Drew and Dawn, rubbing the bridge of her nose and sweatdropping, before waving slightly back.
"Begin!"
"Go, Blaziken!" Rafe yelled, releasing a fire pokemon that stood and gave a cry.
"Go, Blastoise!" Sid commanded, a large turtle pokemon appearing from the light.
"Alright, Pikachu!" Pikachu nodded to Ash before jumping off his shoulder and landing on the ground.
"Hmm, you want to try, Togepi?" Misty asked casually to Togepi in her arms, which cheerfully cried out in acceptance. She placed Togepi on the ground, which waddled over to Pikachu.
Everybody stared at her.
"It's Blaziken and Blastoise versus Pikachu and Togepi!" The MC yelled, and Rafe, Sid, and Ash watched Misty with curiosity.
"Togepi…?" Ash asked, and Misty grinned.
"You've never seen Togepi battle." She said smugly, and May and Dawn were sniggering from their seats.
"They're doomed." May commented.
"They'll lose for sure, if she's using Togepi." Dawn laughed, cracking up at how this battle would end.
"KNOCK 'EM OUT, MISTY!!" May screeched, standing up and pumping her fists into the air, as people cringed in pain as they covered their ears.
"Uh…" Everybody else simply said.
"They won't lose, Rafe and Sid are the best!" Audrey protested angrily, as did Catherine.
"Don't fight the fates, girls…" May smugly went on, before they all turned to the battle.
"Blastoise, use Hydro Pump!" Sid yelled.
It was a sudden and quick attack, two powerful jets of water heading straight toward Pikachu and Togepi's direction.
"Use Flame Thrower!" Blaziken's powerful flame from its mouth curled around the hydro pump, the powerful combination streaming towards the two pokemon.
"Dodge, Pikachu!" Ash yelled, but Pikachu didn't have enough time to move.
"Alright Togepi, use Safeguard!" Misty commanded easily, and Togepi stepped in front of Pikachu, Pikachu ducking as Togepi's body glowed a light green, the two attacks simply heading off in different directions.
"What!?" The pokemon and the audience was shocked.
"Hello, you guys are weird! I wouldn't have chosen Togepi if I didn't think Togepi could handle it!" Misty laughed, "Now, use Shock Wave!" Togepi unleashed a devastating and unavoidable electric attack, it seared through and broke their ground, smashing into Blaziken and Blastoise with an angry vengeance.
The two pokemon reared their heads and cried out in pain, and Ash took this as a chance.
"Use Thunderbolt, Pikachu!" Pikachu quickly unleashed a powerful attack as well, and Blastoise, being weak against thunder attacks, quickly fainted. Blaziken hung on by a strand, leaning against the ground.
"Blastoise!" Sid cried, gritting his teeth. "Return!"
"And Blastoise is out, looks like it's up to Blaziken and Rafe to finish the battle!" The MC yelled, narrating the story in all its fiery intenseness of his voice radiating from the speakers everywhere.
"Blaziken, are you okay?!" Rafe cried, and the crowd was in awe. Audrey and Catherine were freaking out from the stands, yelling and cheering for their brother.
"Told you they were going to lose…" Dawn sighed, as did May.
"Well, it's their brother, so it's normal for them to be so unhappy." May said sympathetically.
"You shouldn't get so cocky, Ash and Misty might lose." Drew remarked, and Dawn and May waved it off.
"Rafe and Sid were pretty arrogant as well, can't we have a little fun?" May smiled at Drew, who smirked back.
"Alright, let's finish them off, Mist!" Ash cried, not even noticing his little nickname he'd given to Misty.
"R-right!" She said, a little flustered.
"Blaziken, use Flamethrower one more time!" Rafe yelled, teeth clenched, as Blaziken still released a powerful flame that was going straight towards them.
"Light screen!" Misty cried, and a golden screen appeared before Togepi and Pikachu, effectively blocking the Flamethrower.
"Now, use Blaze Kick!" Blaziken rushed in with an amazing speed, before jumping and aiming a flaming kick straight towards the two pokemon. Togepi could not evade quick enough; while Pikachu quickly dodged it by using it's own speed to run in a different direction. Togepi blinked and stared upwards, alarmed. Misty bit her lip, but quickly thought on her feet for an attack.
"Togepi, quickly, use Solar Beam!" Togepi charged up with an amazing speed and quickly released the Solar Beam with immense quickness and accuracy. Blaziken was hit dead on, and flew backwards towards Rafe, landing in a cloud of dust.
"And Blaziken is… out and down for the count! Ash and Misty, new comers at Battle Tower, have won the match!" The crowd, caught up in the battle, was in awe for a moment before screaming and cheering for them. May and Dawn were laughing and cheering, while Audrey and Catherine sat, dejected.
"That was an amazing battle, Misty!" Dawn grinned, holding Misty's hands as Togepi walked beside her, tired out.
"How did your Togepi learn those attacks?" Rafe asked, curious.
Misty grinned. "Togepi can learn a huge array of attacks, you just have to figure them out!"
"Togepi's amazing, aren't you?" May cooed, bending down to Togepi's height. Togepi cried cheerfully, but yawned after in response.
"Ash! Misty! That was a great battle!" Tory was running up to them, Rebecca behind them. She was slightly shocked at the outcome of the battle.
"Thanks, Tory!" Misty said, laughing as she picked up Togepi.
"I have to say, I was impressed." Rebecca said easily, "Your Togepi sure packs a punch."
"Big things come in small packages!" Dawn giggled.
"Since when have you become so philosophical?" Misty teased.
The three soon began an argument as they yelled at each other playfully, laughing and smiling as the others watched them.
HOLY CRAP. By page nine, I was WORN OUT! This is… the longest chapter I'll ever write. 16 PAGES PEOPLE! SIXTEEN!! …I hope you enjoyed this chapter, sorry for the cruddy ending but that was really long and hard.
Review, please! They make me happy and smile!
By the way, the attacks for Togepi and such were taken from the Pokedex at Serebii (dot) NET. They're for the pokemon games, but who cares.
It works. Well, it does! I hope that battle scene wasn't too pathetic. I suck at writing battle scenes….
And please, please review, I really want to improve on my battle scenes, I don't want them to be so bad. (Tear)
Oh yeah…
(1) Revealing, yeah, yeah I know.
(2) Similar to a dress from Chobits', if anyone's seen it.
(3) Alto Mare is the city where the movie with Latios and Latias took place. Wait 'till you see what I have in store for that city… (Laughs evilly)
(4) Yes, the whole Destiny Deoxys thing is like, practically non-existent. Or it already passed. Whatever floats your boat.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I thank you for bearing with me and reading this horridly long chapter. I'll try not to make it so long and boring next time…
And another thing, how does SID versus DREW for MAY sound!? Thank Azngrlelizabeth for this amazingly amazing idea!
By the way, fall break is coming up for most of us, I presume? OH YEAH! GUESS WHAT I'LL BE DOING!?
…No really, guess. Lol!
…I'm also thinking about getting a Beta Reader, but if I did I'd probably forget to send it to them. …I seriously have some major errors I always miss in this story…
