"Yes."
Kip jumped and smiled. This girl... something about her made him want to stay, no matter what the dangers.
"Great! Now what do we do?"
But Gaby's eyes were directed at the forest. The loud voices of two people were heard. Gaby suddenly reached into her bag, extracting a Pokéball.
"Are you ok?" he asked uncertainly. "What's wrong?
Gaby remained motionless, her eyes fixed on the trees. Then she stepped back and put the hand with the Pokéball in the air in a ready stance. Her feet were apart, with one forward and one back, and her back hand behind her.
"Grab a Pokéball, Kip. Your first training session is about to begin."
Kip reached inside his bag and pulled out a Pokéball. He stood up and went into his battle stance. His feet were together, and one hand was out in front of him, holding the Pokéball. The other was behind him, stretched out and straight.
Then, from out of the trees, two rockets came. Both were male, tall, and identical.
"We've found them!" one of the men, the tall one, cried.
"Yes we have, brother!" the second, the short one, said.
"The Rocket brothers have fond the two escaped ones!" They said in unison.
Gaby and Kip looked at each and smiled.
"You'll never take us alive!" Kip said.
"Oh, but we will! We are the trappers of the Rockets, and we are the experts. You don't have a chance!"
"Oh, but we do!" Gaby said. "How about a battle? If I win, then I send you two flying back to your hideout and you never come looking for us again."
"And if we win?"
"Then you can take me and him to your hideout and take credit for the capture."
The two brothers looked at each other. Their faces cracked into grins, and they turned back.
"Agreed."
"Well then, let's battle!" Gaby said, and with that, four Pokéballs went whizzing through the air. "Let's go, Trouble!"
"Go! Darkfaller!"
"Ursaring!"
"Donphan!"
The four Pokémon filled the clearing. In front of Gaby, a Pidgeot sat, looking at it's partner. In front of Kip sat a Houndoom, also looking at it's partner. In front of the tall Rocket was an Ursaring, and in front of the short Rocket was a Donphan.
"Trouble!" Gaby cried to her Pidgeot. "Wing attack! NOW!"
The Pidgeot flew forward with such speed that the only thing that could be seen was blur of brown. The Ursaring fell down, then got up again, at with might be considered half of its stamina left.
"Ursaring!" The tall man said. "Thunder punch!"
The Ursaring jumped forward and threw out an electric punch. The Ursaring hit the Pidgeot, knocking him down. He fell back, and gave a feeble cry. Gaby returned him.
But the Ursaring was in a blind rage now. It thrashed this way and that, and bashed into Kip. The force of the blow threw him back into a tree. He slumped over, a trickle of blood running down his face from his forehead.
"KIP!" Gaby cried. His Houndoom ran over to help him, but Gaby called him back.
"Darkfaller! We must finish this! I know you don't know me, but you have to have faith! If we don't win, then everything is lost."
The Houndoom jumped back into position. He snarled at the Ursarang.
"Now that's the attitude I want to see! Now, crunch that Ursaring!"
The Houndoom charged forward, and took a direct hit on the large Pokémon. It fell over, and its trainer returned it.
"It's all up to you, brother!" he said, and sat down on the rock that Kip had been on before.
"Donphan! Rollout!"
The Donphan curled up and went rolling at the Houndoom. The Houndoom managed to dodge most of the attack, but got hit in the leg. It whimpered in pain.
"One good attack will take it down. The question is, what do you know?" The Houndoom looked at her, and Gaby understood.
"Darkfaller! SOLAR BEAM!" The Houndoom charged up energy, but the attack wouldn't be ready until the next turn.
"Ha! You've fallen into my trap!" Donphan, attack!"
The Donphan rolled at the Houndoom, but he was ready. He jumped out of the way, and the Donphan hit a tree.
"Darkfaller! SOLAR BEAM NOW!"
The Houndoom, fully charged, let loose a powerful blast at the Donphan. The Donphan collapsed immediately.
"I won!" Gaby said, and a second later, both brothers were gone. However, she forgot about the Donphan, and it got up and charged at the Houndoom. It missed, however, and went straight at Gaby instead.
Gaby, sensing something behind her, jumped up and hovered, making the Donphan go straight past her. She glared at it, then opened her mouth. A bright ball of energy was forming in it. Then, in a split second, she released the ball straight at the Donphan. It was blasted out of the way, and landed, finally KO'd. Gaby looked at it and it disappeared.
Gaby's feet had barely touched the ground before she was running to Kip's side. He was bleeding and unconscious.
Gaby placed her hand on his chest and bent her head to her chest. Concentrating with all her might, her hand started glowing blue. Kip's hair and clothes rippled as if in a strong wind. The light grew, and a second later, filled the surrounding area. When it cleared, Gaby was sprawled on the round and Kip was stirring.
Kip opened his eyes, seeing his Houndoom at his side. He smiled, then looked around for Gaby. Spotting her, he jumped up and ran over. He stopped for a split second, trying to figure out why he wasn't hurt, but then resumed his run towards her.
Once he got there, he was relived to see that she was sleeping, and nothing worse. He sighed in relief, then shook her awake.
"Wha? Oh, hello Kip. See you're recovering well," Gaby said, sitting up. "You were in bad shape before I worked my magic on you."
"Magic?" Kip asked. He assumed that he had blacked out, no worse.
"My powers. Hey, being half Pokémon does have its advantages."
"What do you mean?"
"I guess I'd better tell you if we're gonna be stuck together for a while! Well, Pokémorphs have the ability to use their Pokémon's attacks. For example, if someone was a Pikachu Pokémorph, then they would be able to use slam, thundershock, and any other attacks that a Pikachu is able to do. In my case, I get all of Lugia's special abilities, including recover." "So that's what you did to me!" Kip said. "What other things can you do?"
"That would take forever! I'll just tell you that I can to most TM moves and all of Lugia's basic attacks. But for warning, watch my eyes. Deep blue means calm or curious, light blue means sad, red means angry or hateful, black means...well, if you see black, just get out of the way and don't come back."
Kip nodded.
"So...are we going to stay here forever?" Kip asked, looking at Gaby with a questioning face.
"Yes. But first, I must see how you usually battle. Give me all you got!"
And with that, Gaby pulled out six Pokéballs, and Kip stood there petrified with fear.
Face her? Face Gaby? Crazy! Insane!
He pulled out six Pokéballs anyway.
The two went into their battle stances, and the game was on.
Kip jumped and smiled. This girl... something about her made him want to stay, no matter what the dangers.
