Chapter 38: I Battle The League
"What?" I asked. "I'm Dustin, you guys? I have clearance, my mom is Champion Sapphire."
"Show us the badges, and you may pass."
I reluctantly opened my bag, and pulled out my Trainer Card.
"Congratulations, Trainer! You may pass! Good luck!"
I was confused. We have the region in a state of lockdown. This wasnt time for a Pokemon League Challenge!
I stepped into the first room.
"Welcome Trainer! I am Sidney of the Elite Four!"
"Can it, Sidney. I know who you are. What are you guys doing? The region is in lockdown, and I have vital information for my mom."
"Sorry Dustin, your mom is pissed that you brought those guys with you, and she thinks you're an impostor. We have no choice. We have to battle."
I looked at Blaziken. "Fine."
"Go! Mightyena!" Sidney called.
The wolflike pokemon growled at Blaziken, who faltered a little.
"Blaziken! Sky uppercut!" I called.
Blaziken was on Mightyena in a flash, and punched his underbelly straight up in an uppercut that left both pokemon twenty feet off the floor.
"Mightyena is unable to battle! Blaziken wins!" the referee called.
"Shiftry!"
I was irritated, and I wanted to end this battle quick, so I told Blaziken to use flamethrower, and Shiftry didn't stand a chance.
Sidney sent out Absol, and Blaziken used sky uppercut again, and Absol was down in a flash.
Sharpedo and Cacturne met the same fates as well.
"That was a great match," Sidney laughed.
"Tell mom to call off the others. I don't have time for this. My girlfriend is looking irritated too." I said. "And unless you want to have to rebuild the Pokemon League Building, you dont want to piss her off."
"I can't do anything, Dustin," Sidney groaned. "I really wish I could."
"Bullshit."
I stormed off into the next room.
Phoebe, Glacia, and Drake all met the same fates.
"I wasn't prepared to battle you guys." I said to Drake, taking down his Altaria with an overheat attack. "Half my Master Team is missing."
I stormed off into the Champion Battlefield.
"MOM! STOP THIS CRAP NOW!" I roared. "THIS ISNT THE TIME FOR THE GAMES!"
"Then you get rid of those mosters!" she yelled.
Suddenly I was aware that Mewtwo was standing next to us.
Thank you for freeing me, Dustin Mewtwo said telepathically.
"Can you help get my mom to understand this?
I don't have enough information
"Blaziken!" Blaziken stepped forward.
What?
"Bla... Blaze... Bla Bla... Blaziken."
There is a creature known as the Entity who wishes to use the power of the fire types to build a bridge of fire into the Hoenn Region. This region will die first, then the Johto and Kanto regions, and then Reborn, Sinnoh, and Unova will burn too. The creature is creating a portal known as Hoenn Hell. This world he will leave is so dangerous, it makes the Distortion World look like the Safari Zone.
"Hail Arceus!" Sapphire cried. "And I'm guessing we have to work with these guys?"
There are only nine and a half days until the portal opens, and destroys the world. The portal opens on the Battle Frontier. The Battle Tower, to be specific.
"Oh, goodness..."
"Mom?" I said. "How about we get the details sorted out later? I need to get a place for these guys to stay, and I want you to meet my girlfriend."
My mother said nothing.
Natalie walked into the room.
"Dustin? Are things going okay, sweetie?"
"Yeah, things are okay."
"We should let them give these guys a place to stay, and let Rhonda and Jason decide if they want to stay here or go back to the house with us."
"Ok. Mom? We're going to head out now." I said.
My mother looked at me as though I was a new trainer who had snuck into the Champion Data Room. Like she didn't know who I was, but was tired, and irritated.
At me.
