Hello everyone, before we started first I would like to say that I just started my spring semester so write maybe slow, but don't worry I won't stop writing until the story is over. And As you may have heard Pokemon Sword and Shield are having expansion passes. The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra I will add stuff from those two DLC into the story but Lucas will not have done them so they will be a mystery to him. Any way time for chapter 5
Book Air Part 5
The Spirit of Competition and Rivalry
Republic City Arena
Lucas, Zoey, Dakota, and Lily were at the gym helping Korra. Mako, and Bolin train for the upcoming tournament. Dakota had Decidueye our shooting them with some arrows. Lily had Chandelure out charging at them wrapped in fire. Lucas had Coalossal firing streams of hot water at them. Zoey was just sitting on the side reading the paper which had a story about Dakota vs Amon in it. "Come on guys you can do this." Dakota said as Decidueye shot an arrow at Bolin. "Why are you shooting arrows at us?" Bolin asked Dakota. "It to help you dodge. After all Decidueye is the Arrow Quill Pokemon. In a tenth of a second, it can nock and fire an arrow quill, piercing and opponent's weak point before they notice what's happening. So If you can dodge an arrow you can dodge an earth disk" Dakota said to Bolin.
"Oh relax Bolin after all with us helping you three train the tournament will be easy." Lily said to Bolin. But soon they all got hit, Bolin got hit by Chandelure, Korra with an arrow, and Mako got hit by a stream of water.
"I hope." Lily said as they landed on the floor. "I'm sure that they'll be fine." Lucas said as they all started to laugh as Lucas, Lily and Dakota helped Korra, Mako, and Bolin get up off the floor. "It's been great having you five at so many back-to-back practices, everyone." Mako said to Korra and the Trainers. "No problem Mako." Lucas said to Mako. "Yeah it's nice that we're all here together." Lily said to them. "I got nothing better to do." Zoey said turning not looking up. "Oh come on Zoey this is fun." Dakota said to Zoey. "What do you think Korra?" Lily asked Korra "It feels good to be back." Korra said to Lily. "That's good Korra." Lily said to Korra. "Although Tarrlok isn't too happy about my leave of absence, Lucas quitting and Dakota not joining his task force." Korra said to them.
"Tarrlok will be fine." Zoey said still not looking up. "Yeah you joined the Fire Ferrets before you joined his task force. And you promise you will help us train before you join his task force." Bolin said to Korra and Lucas. "Yeah. Sorry about that." Lucas said to Bolin. "Okay come on team huddle time." Mako said to Bolin and Korra. While Mako, Korra, and Bolin huddle up the Pokemon trainers and their Pokemon moved to the side watching them. The trainer's watch as Bolin gave a loving smile to Korra. Korra gave Bolin a forced smile before tuning to Mako with a loving smile. And Mako was just unfazed and looked down.
"This can't be good?" Lucas said as Mako regained his focus. "It's our first match of the tournament tonight. I know the three of us haven't been a team for very long, but even so the Fire Ferrets have never been this good are we ready?" Mako asked Korra and Bolin. "We're ready!" Bolin and Korra said at the same time. "Not quite." A voice said. They all turned their heads to see Asami holding the new uniforms. "You'll need these." Asami said to Mako, Korra, and Bolin. "Oh hey Asami good morning." Lily said to Asami. "Good morning Lily, Lucas, Zoey, and Dakota right." Asami said to the trainers. "Yes it's nice to meet you Asami." Dakota said to Asami. "Hey Asami." Mako said walking to Asami. "Good morning sweetie." Asami said to Mako. "These new uniforms look great." Mako said to Asami. "You look great champ." Asami said to Mako as they wiggle their nose against one another.
Korra was gagging at the site of Mako and Asami. "What's up with her?" Dakota asked the trainers. "I'll tell you later." Lucas said to Dakota. "Well teamatea, I'll see you before the match tonight. Asami and I have a lunch date." Mako said as he and Asami started to leave. "Okay we'll check you guys later." "Have fun see you later." Lily said to them as everyone got ready to leave. "So Korra there they go here we are all alone in the gym." Bolin said, but was hit by a ball. "Did you forget about us?" Zoey said to Bolin. "Right sorry." Bolin said. "It's ok Bolin but we have to get back to Air Temple Island." Lily said to Bolin. "Yeah I have to train with Tenzin see ya!" Korra said as they left. "We'll be back with food later Bolin. "Lucas said to Bolin as they exited the gym leaving Bolin with a frown.
Later that day, Lucas and Dakota went to Mako and Bolin's apartment with food. After they arrived Mako helped Lucas cook and Dakota helped Bolin give Pabu a bath. "Work with me here Pabu." Bolin said to Pabu as he refused to get into the water. "He's worse than a Rock type." Dakota said trying to get a grip on Pabu. "You want to look spic-and-span in your new uniform, don't you." Bolin said as Pabu just kept struggling out of the water. "Got you." Dakota said as he pushed Pabu into the water. Pabu stopped struggling once he got into the water.
"So what do you guys think of Korra in a girlfriend sort of way?" Bolin asked everyone. "I think she is a wild one so it may be hard to date her." Lucas said sturing some soup. "I think she would be a fine girlfriend when she wants to." Dakota said rubbing some soup into Pabu fur. "She's great, but I think it makes more sense for me to go for Asami." Mako said making everyone stop what they are doing and turn to him.
"I was talking about a girlfriend for me." Bolin said to Mako. "And me and Lucas were talking in a general sense." Dakota said to Mako. "Yeah you have a girl focus on her." Lucas said to Mako. "Yeah leave some ladies for the rest of us." Bolin said to Mako. "I know that's what I thought you meant." Mako said. "Are you ok Mako?" Dakota asked Mako. "I don't know guys. It doesn't seem like a good idea for Bolin to date Korra." Mako said to them. "You just said she was great two seconds ago." Bolin said to Mako. "Yeah Korra's a great athlete and avatar and stuff, but I don't know if she's really girlfriend material. She's more like a pal." Mako said to Bolin. "I agree with Mako. Korra is too wild. She needs time to calm down before she can become a girlfriend." Lucas said. "You two are nuts. Korra and I are perfect for each other." Bolin said to Lucas and Mako. "I don't know about that Bolin?" Lucas said, shaking his head. "Oh come on she's strong, I'm strong. She's fun, I'm fun. She's beautiful, I'm gorgeous."
"Bolin I doubt that those make you two perfect together." Dakota said to Bolin. "Like you and Lily, Dakota." Lucas said to Dakota. "I don't know what you're talking about." Dakota said looking away. "Oh come on I remember when you two meet you could take your eyes off each other." Lucas said to Dakota. "I could say the same thing about you and Olivia." Dakota said to Lucas making him stop. "What are you talking about?" Lucas said turning to Dakota.
"Lily told me about when she meets you in the park." Dakota said to Lucas. "Can we focus on me and Korra." Bolin said to Lucas and Dakota. "Bolin maybe you should try and learn more about her before you rush off and do something stupid." Lucas said to Bolin. "Yeah get to know her first." Dakota said to Bolin. "Okay, but I don't care what you think, I'm gonna ask Korra out." Bolin said to them.
Lucas and Dakota just slapped their hand into their face. "Look it just isn't smart to date a teammate, especially during the tournament. Keep your head out of the clouds and your priorities straight, okay?" Mako said to Bolin. "Yeah just focus on the tournament you can try asking Korra out after the tournament." Lucas said to Bolin. "Yeah yeah I know." Bolin said to them. "You know what I'm talking about, Pabu. Talking about real love." Bolin said to Pabu as Pabu just tilted his head. "Bolin I don't think it's love that your feeling?" Dakota said to Boiln. "Hey lets just drop the love talk and eat." Lucas said as he and Mako came over with some food. They then started to eat in silence.
Republic City Air Temple Island
Meanwhile Korra, Lily, and Zoey were outside wearing some coat and was helping Olivia, Jinora, and Ikki feed the lemurs on the island. "So how's it going with the tall dreamy firebender boy?" Jinora asked Korra. "Jinora I thought I told you not to ask her." Olivia said to Jinora. "But she's been spending a lot of time together lately." Jinora said to Olivia.
"Their teammates and they have to practice for the upcoming tournament." Olivia said to Jinora. "It's ok Olivia, they're just kids." Lily said to Olivia. "So tell us all about the magical romance!" Ikki asked Korra. "What." Korra said making them all laugh. "Korra we all know you like the boy it's easy to see." Zoey said to Korra. "Listen to you girls! I'm-I'm not interested in Mako or any romantic stuff." Korra said to them. "Korra you fell for him the second you say him." Lily said to Korra. "Just like you and Dakota." Zoey said making everyone turn to Lily.
"Wait what are you talking about?" Lily said hiding her blush in her coat. "I remember when you two meet you two couldn't keep your eyes off each other." Zoey said. "Aww that's cute." Olivia said to Lily. "I could say the same for you and Lucas." Lily said to Olivia. "Wait what there's nothing happening there." Olivia said waving her hands in front of her face. "You had a date all ready and nothing happened." Lily said, cracking a smile. "It was not a date, but we're not talking about that. We're talking about Korra romance interest." Olivia said trying to change the topic. "I told you I'm not interested in any romance thing besides he's all into that prissy, beautiful, elegant rich girl." Korra said lowering her head. "Korra?" Lily said, looking at Korra. "But let's just pretend for a second I am interested in him what would I do?" Korra asked the girls. "There it is." Zoey said pointing her finger at Korra.
"Ooh, I just read a historical saga where the heroine fell in love with the enemy general's son who was supposed to marry the princess. You should do what she did." Jinora said to Korra. "Tell me." Korra said to Jinora. "Korra what I think I know how this story goes." Zoey said to Korra. "She rode her dragon into battle and burned down the entire country. Then she jumped into a volcano." Jinora said to Korra. "Ok not exactly what I was thinking, but the ending is the same." Zoey said lowering her head. "It was so romantic." Jinora said ignoring Zoey. "Keep telling yourself that." Lily said patting Jinora head. "No, no, no! The best way to win a boy's heart is to brew a love potion of rainbows and sunsets that makes true lovers sprout wings and fly to a magical castle in the sky where they get married and eat clouds with spoons and use stars as ice cubes in their moonlight punch forever and ever and ever." Ikki said using her airbending to make her jump high. Olivia, Lily, and Zoey broke out laughing by Ikki's idea. "The volcano is starting to make more sense to me now. Don't you three have anything better." Korra asked Olivia, Lily, and Zoey as they finished laughing..
"I got nothing. What makes you think I care about romance." Zoey said to Korra. "All I can say is try to impress the boy." Olivia said to Korra. "You two are no help Lily you got anything useful?" Korra asked Lily. "I have a few Ideas. But we need a Luvdisc for any of them." Lily said, closing her eyes. "Luvdisc?" Jinora asked Lily. "Luvdisc is the Rendezvous Pokemon. Luvdisc's heart-shaped body is a symbol of love and romance. It is said that any couple meeting this Pokemon is promised a loving relationship that never ends. But we don't have any Luvdisc on our teams and we can't fish for them here." Lily said to them. "So your big idea is a fish?" Korra said as they heard laughter. All the girls turned their heads to see Pema.
"Oh hey Pema." Korra said to Pema. "Lady Pema." Olivia said bowing. "Evening Pema." Lily said to Pema. "Uh how long were you standing there?" Korra said not looking Pema in the eyes. "Long enough." Pema said laughing a bit. "Oh ah." Olivia said looking away. "But trust me, I know what you're going through. Years ago, I was in the exact same situation. With Tenzin." Pema said walking to the girls. "Daddy was in love with someone else before you?" Ikki asked her mother. "That's right." Pema said to Ikki. "So what did you do?" Korra askes Pema. "Well for the longest time I did nothing, I was so shy and scared of rejection. But watching my soul mate spend his life with the wrong woman became too painful. So I hung my chin out there, and I confessed my love to Tenzin. And the rest is history." Pema said placing her hands on her belly. "Wow." All the girls said at the same time.
"Wow Pema I didn't take you for a bad girl." Zoey said lightly punching Pema right arm. "I don't know what you're talking about." Pema said looking away from Zoey with a smirk on her face. Then Korra started to get an idea. "Korra I know what you're thinking, but it's a bad idea." Zoey said to Korra crossing her arms. "I don't know what you're talking about." Korra said looking away from Zoey. "Fine, but remember Mako's current girlfriend father is paying for you to be in the tournament. And you all need to focus on the tournament. So save the romence for when you win." Zoey said before walking away. "You know she's right, Korra win the tournament first, then you and Asami can fight over Mako." Lily said before she went to Zoey.
Republic City Arena
"Folks after a year of waiting, The pro bending championship tournament Is finally here. Tonight is the first set of matches. In our single elimination 16-team bracket. And I gotta tell ya, these are the most tenacious and talented bending trios this arena has ever seen." The Announcer said as everyone got ready for the game. "Man this place is crazy." Dakota said as he, Lily, Zoey, Lucas were in the team boot looking around. "Just what it gets crazier when the game starts. I don't know why people like these events?" Zoey said not liking being here. "I guess you don't like this stuff." Dakota asked Lily. "I just prefer to work then to play." Zoey said to Dakota. "Guys it's starting." Lucas said as a spot light arrered on Korra, Mako, and Bolin.
"Introducing our first team, The Future Industries Fire Ferrets!" The man with the microphone said as the crowd cheered. "And their opponents, the Red Sands Rabbaroos." The man with the microphone said as a team of girls appeared on the other side of the field. Everyone got ready. Then the bell ding and they started. Everyone's first attack hit in the middle of the field making an explosion. "What and explosive opening volley. Both teams quickly recover and unleash a barrage of bending." The Announcer said as the two team attack kept countering each other.
"I am astonished with the level of improvement displayed here by the Fire Ferrets no wonder the avatar's been absent from the papers lately." The Announcer said as the Fire Ferrets pushed the Red Sands Rabbaroos back. "She's obviously had her nose to the grindstone in the gym. The Ferrets Advance into Rabbaroo territory and are holding nothing back." The Announcer said as the Fire Ferrets moved forward.
"Nice sprawl there by Mako." The Announcer said as Mako dodge a water shot. "Bolin strikes ula Dodges and all three Rabbroos are down." The Announcer said as all of the Red Sands Rabbaroos layed on the floor. "The Fire Ferrets easily take round one." The Announcer said as the bell rang. "Yes what to go." Lily said clapping. "YEAH THAT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT." Lucas yelled surprising Zoey and Dakota. "What the deal with him?" Dakota asked Lily. "He's just like this when he watches a game." Lily said to Dakota.
"Round two." The man with the microphone said as the bell rang again. "The Rabbaross are looking for payback and they go straight after Bolin." The Announcer said as Bolin got hammered by water attacks. "Korra comes to his defense and she water-whacks Umi back into zone two." The Announcer said as Korra blocked one of the water shots and water blast one of the Red Sands Rabbaroos back. "The Ferrets are on fire tonight, and they win round two." The Announcer said as they pushed all the Red Sands Rabbaroos back to zone three winning the round.
"Round three." The man with the microphone said as the final round began. "With the Rabbaroos down two rounds, they'll need a knockout to win. And with the way the Fire Ferrets are playing, I don't see that happening." The Announcer said as the Red sands Rabbaroos got knocked back while the crowd started to boo making them mad. "These Ferrets are working together like a well-oiled bending machine." The Announcer said as the Fire Ferrets released a flurry of attacks.
"Ha! Ooh, yah!" Bolin said tossing some earth disk knocking the last of the Red Sands Rabbaroos back into zone two. "Bolin Bashes Adi into zone two, and the Ferrets get the green light to advance." The Announcer said as the crowd started to cheer. "I guess we know how the crowd favorite." Lucas said quietly.
"The Rabbaroos are just fighting to say on their feet at this point. Down goes Adi and Ula and Umi." The Announcer said as all the Red Sand Rabbaroos got knocked into zone three. "All three rounds go to the Future Industries Fire Ferrets who win their opening match of the tournament." the man with the microphone said as everyone started to cheer.
"Whoo-hoo." Korra said jumping in joy. "Yes." Mako said raising his hands into the air. "That's what I'm talking about." Bolin said looking at the Red Sand Rabbaroos. "Yeah." The Fire Ferrets said having a group hug. "What to go guys." Lily said cheering. "Nice work guys." Zoey said clapping. "They did a great job." Dakota said clapping. "YEAH THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT." Lucas yelled, making everyone turn to him.
"What?" Lucas asked the trainers as Korra, Mako, and Bolin made their way to them. "Thank you." Bolin said to the crowd. "Wow were really connecting out there in that ring." Mako said to Korra. "Yeah you all did great." Lily said to them. "Yeah thanks, you know I feel like the two of us have been connecting really well out the ring too." Korra said to Mako. "Um sure." Mako said to Korra. "Oh on." Zoey said, shaking his head.
"So I was thinking we should spend some time together." Korra said to Mako. "We've been spending lots of time together." Mako said to Korra. "I mean outside of the gym. And not while searching for kidnapped family members or fighting Chi-Blockers." Korra said to Mako. "This can't be good." Dakota said to Lucas quietly. "You think?" Lucas said to Dakota quietly. "I don't know Asami and I are-" Mako said but was interrupted by Korra. "Look, I really like you, and I think we were meant for each other." Korra said to Mako but Mako just turned away from her.
"Korra I'm really sorry but. I just don't feel the same way about you." Mako said to Korra. "Ouch." Lily said quietly. "Forget I ever said anything." Korra said walking away before Asami walked in with Pabu. "Congratulations guys. You were so amazing out there." Asami said walking to Mako giving him a kiss on the cheek. Korra just looked heartbroken as Mako and Asami started to walk to the other side of the room.
"So, Korra, I was thinking you and me, we could go get some dinner together. Sort of a date situation." Bolin said to Korra. "Oh on." Lucas said quietly. "Oh that's really sweet, but I don't think so. I don't feel very date-worthy." Korra said to Bolin. "Are you kidding me you're the smartest, funniest, toughest, buff-est, talented-est, incredible-est girl in the world." Bolin said making Korra giggle. "At least Korra is smiling." Lily said quietly. "You really feel that way about me?" Korra asked Bolin. "I felt that way since the moment I saw you. Trust me I know we're going to have so much fun together." Bolin said to Korra.
"You know what I could use some fun okay sure." Korra said to Bolin. "Yes! Who's the luckiest guy in the world? Right here Bolin." Bolin said as he and Korra started to leave. When Bolin and Korra were talking Mako kept his eyes on Korra. But Asami made him focus on her then she laid her hand on his shoulder and closed her eyes. But Mako turned his head to the door.
Soon the trainers walk into the hallway to talk. "So what should we do?" Lily said to them. "Ok first Lily Dakota you two use Altaria and Garchomp and go after Korra and Bolin." Lucas said. "Why us?" Dakota asked. "Look Zoey's Golurk is two loud to follow them and the only Pokemon that I can ride can only carry me for a few minutes." Lucas said to Dakota. "But why us?" Dakota asked again. "You two are faster and quieter so you two can follow them easier than us." Lucas said to Dakota. "Is there anything else to your plan?" Lily asked Lucas. "Just find them and keep them from falling in love." Lucas said. "Why?" Lily asked. "Now that Korra told Mako her feelings he's thinking about it. So if decides to date Korra instead Asami that means he'll be going against his brother and they don't need this love drama now." Zoey said to Lily and Dakota. "Oh ok come on Dakota let's go." Lily said letting Altara out and flying out a window. "All right I'm coming." Dakota said letting Garchomp out and following her.
After they left Zoey turned Lucas. "So what is the real plan?" Zoey asked Lucas. "What are you talking about this is the plan." Lucas said to Zoey. Zoey just stared at him. "Ok fine that wasn't the plan." Lucas said crossing his arms. "Then what is the plan?" Zoey asked Lucas. "Well since Korra just opened the floodgates on all this drama, the only thing we can do is to get Lily and Dakota together." Lucas said. "Why?" Zoey asked. "Look thanks to Korra chances are that two to four hearts are about break and they might lose the tournament I rather have something good happen this week." Lucas said to Zoey. "If you want something good to happen you could just ask Olivia out on a date." Zoey said walking away. "Wait what are you talking about?" Lucas said going after Zoey.
Republic City Streets
Soon Lily and Dakota found Naga outside a restaurant. "So what is the plan?" Lily asked Dakota as they got off Garchomp and Altaria. "Let's just act like we didn't know they were here. Let's just say what we just wanted to try this place." Dakota said to Lily. "But how are we going to pay for this we don't have any money?" Lily asked Dakota. "Don't worry I got some money after a soled a big pearl to someone." Dakota said to Lily. "Oh ok." Lily said. "But let's not get anything expensive." Dakota said as they walked into the restaurant. "You two say out here and don't hang out by the door." Lily said to ALtaria and Garchomp. "And say out of trouble I'm looking at you Garchomp." Dakota said to Garchomp. "Garchomp." Garchomp said, in a grumpy sounding. "Altaria." Altaria said rubbing her head against Garchomp. "Garchomp?" Garchomp said wondering what Altaria is doing
In the restaurant Bolin and Korra were eating some sea weak noodles. "So how do you like it?" Bolin asked Korra. "Mmm, it's delicious, and totally authentic. Man I didn't realize how much I missed the water tribe grub." Korra said to Bolin. "That's great because this is my favorite joint." Bolin said to Korra. "Korra Bolin what are you two doing here?" Lily said to Korra and Bolin. Bolin and Korra stopped eating and turned to See Lily and Dakota walking in.
"What are you guys doing here?" Korra asked Lily and Dakota. "Oh I heard about this place and I thought about trying it and Lily came with me." Dakota said as they took their seats on the table next to them. "Just pretend we're not here you won't even know we're here." Lily said as they looked at the menu. Soon they each got a bowl of water tribe food. They had a bit of a worried look on their face before taking a bite. But once they took a bite their eyes light up. "Man this is great." Dakota said taking more bites of his food. "This does have an interesting and lovely taste." Lily said eating her food slowly.
"I know Water tribe food is the best." Korra said to them. "I know right see, you love water tribe food, I love water tribe food. Just another reason we are so great together." Bolin said to Korra. "They are god noodles." Korra said slurping a few more noodles. "That they are." Dakota said making a mess on his face. "Look at what you're doing, you're making a mess come here." Lily said, taking out a napkin and cleaning Dakota's face. "Thank Lily." Dakota said to Lily. "No problem." Lily said to Dakota. "Aw what a cute moment." Korra said as she started to laugh.
"Oh knocking it off Korra." Lily said lightly punching Korra's arm. "Hey who's that creepy guy over there." Korra said as she stopped laughing and pointing to a guy in a private room. "Which guy?" Lily asked Korra. "That one the one that keeps leering at us?" Korra said as they focus on a guy with long back hair covering the right side of his face, with two girls in his arms. "That's Tahno and the Wolf-Bats. The reigning champs three years running. Don't make eye contact!" Bolin said to Korra. But Korra just ignored his ivice and staried at Tahno with a mean look.
"Korra maybe you should have that face for the tournament." Lily said as Tahno started to get up. "Uh oh here he comes. Now don't mess with this guy." Bolin said to them. "No promises." Dakota said as they got closer. "I'm serious Dakota he's a nasty dude." Bolin said as he notice them getting close. Bolin the started to slurp his food as fast as he can. "Well, well, well. If it isn't the Fire Ferrets Pro Bending saddest excuse for a team." Tahno said to Korra and Bolin. "Well he's a charmer." Lily said crossing her arms. "Tell me, how did a couple of amateurs like you luck your way into the tournament? Especially you un-vatar." Tahno said to Korra and Bolin.
"They got in by skills and training." Lily said to Tahno. "Now what's a cute girl like you hanging out with these losers." Tahno said to Lily. "You know if you'd like to learn how a real pro bends I could give you some private lessons. And if you want I can show you want a night on the town really looks like." Tahno said to the girls. "You want to go toe-to-toe with me Pretty boy?" Korra said to Tahno as she got up into his face. "And I want nothing to do with you so go away." Lily said getting up like Korra. "Make me I'll even give you the first shot." Tahno said to the girls. "Korra Lily don't do it. He's just trying to bait you. You hit him we're out of the tournament." Bolin said to the girls.
"Girl just forget him let's just try to enjoy our meal." Dakota said to the girls. "Oh look at this guy trying to be a nice guy." Tahno said to Dakota. "Please I don't want to cause any trouble. I just want to enjoy my food with my friends in peace." Dakota said to Tahno. "Well look at this the non-bender thinks he can tell me what to do." Tahno said to his friends. "Look boy don't even think for one second that your anything special compared to me." Tahno said pouring Dakota's food onto the floor.
"You shouldn't have done that." Dakota said, looking at his food. "And what can you do about it?" Thano said as he and his friends started to laugh. Dakota then whistled softly. Then Garchomp burst through the window. "GARCHOMP." Garchomp roared at them, scaring them all away from Korra, Lily, Bolin and Dakota. "Now leave or be food for Garchomp." Dakota said to Tahno. Tahno then just left trying to act cool but gave Dakota a mean look.
Then everyone started to laugh. "I've never seen anyone razz Tahno like that." Bolin said to Dakota. "It's all thanks to Garchomp. Garchomp is the Mach Pokemon. It's fine scales don't just reduce wind resistance-their sharp edges also cause injury to the opponent who attacks it." Dakota said. "Well thank you Garchomp." Lilt said petting Garchomp. "Garchomp." Garchomp said to someone outside. "What's the problem Garchomp?" Dakota asked Garchomp. "Altaria." Altaria said as she poked her head through the window and began to rub her head against Garchomp again.
"Aw do you like Garchomp, Altaria?" Lily asked Alatria. "Altaria." Altaria said as she continued to rub her head against Garchomp. "Garchomp." Garchomp said leaving the room trying to get Altaria to stop. "Well let's just try and enjoy the night." Korra said as she and Bolin resumed eating. "Here Dakota you can have some of mine." Lily said sharing her food with Dakota. "Thanks Lily." Dakota said as they started to eat again.
Later that night Lily, Dakota, Korra and Bolin where having some drinks. Then Bolin burp. Korra not wanting to be out done did a bigger burp. This started a burping contest between each other. "Classy." Lily said as Korra did a loud burp. "Oh let them be." Dakota said as they all started to laugh. They then wandered around town to a giant light up tower. "This reminds me of Prism Tower." Lily said as they all looked around. Both Dakota and Bolin looked at the girls with loving looks in their eyes. After the tower Dakota, Lily, and Korra went to Air Temple Island while Bolin went back to the Arena.
Republic City Arena
The next day Mako was waiting for Korra outside the Arena "What kind of game are you playing?" Mako asked Korra as she approached the arena. "Uh… Pro Bending. We've got a quarterfinal match." Korra said to Mako. "No I mean with Bolin. You got him in a tizzy and I know you're only using him back at me." Mako said to Korra. "I am not. We're just having fun together. What do you care about anyway?" Korra said to Mako. "I'm looking out for my little brother. I don't want to see his heart get broken." Mako said to Korra. "Wait a second. You're not worried about him. You're jealous. You do have feelings for me." Korra said to Mako. "What? Jealous? Don't be ridiculous." Mako said to Korra.
"Admit it you like me." Korra said to Mako. "No, I'm with Asami." Mako said to Korra. "Yeah but when you're with her you're thinking about me, aren't you?" Korra said to Mako. "Get over yourself." Mako said to Korra. "I'm just being honest." Korra said. "You're crazy!" Mako yelled at Korra. "You're a liar!" Korra yelled. "Uh are you two ok?" Lily said, making them turn to the trainers. "We're fine." They yelled before walking in through different doors.
"Well their doomed what now?" Zoey asked the trainers. "Hope for the best and for some dume luck." Lucas said walking in. "I can you be more positive." Lily asked Lucas. "Lily they decide to focus on this drama and not the tournament. If they win it's because of dume luck." Lucas said as he went through the door. "He has a point let's just hope that they can pull themselves together." Zoey said to Lily as she walked in. "What is with those two?" Lily asked Dakota. "I don't know." Dakota said before they went in after Lucas and Zoey.
"Eight teams have been eliminated, and eight advance into the quarterfinals which get under way tonight." The Announcer said as everyone got ready and everyone in their normal seats. "The Rookies are about to take on the former and longest-reigning champs- the Boar-Q-Pines." The Announcer said into the radio. "Yeah their doom." Lucas said placing his hand in front of his face.
"Youth clashes against experience in a battle for the ages- or rather, of the ages." The Announcer said as the bell rings. With that it was on but it was The Fire Ferrets were doing much worse than last time much worse. "Korra dodges and- ooh, slams right into her teammate." The Announcer said as Korra and Mako collided. "Down goes Mako, and Bolin and Korra." The Announcer said said as they all got knocked back into zone three. "Round one goes to the Boar-Q-Pines." the man with the microphone said as the bell rang.
"That could have gone better." Lily said. "You were supposed to defend while I attacked!" Mako said to Korra. "I had an opening so I took it!" Korra said to Mako. "what is up with you two?" Bolin asked his team. "They need to focus." Lucas said. "All right whatever just pull it together guys." Bolin said as the bell rang. "The Ferrets are looking to mount some offense her in round two." The Announcer said as they landed hits on each other.
"Bolin lets fly a flurry of attacks. He's a one man bending battalion." The Announcer said as Bolin dodge attacks and launched multiple attacks on the Boar-Q-Pines winning round two. "The Ferrets are having a tough time finding their rhythm tonight, but thanks to Bolin they narrowly notch round two." The Announcer said as everyone got ready for the final round. "Not sure what's eatin' them, but this is not the same team who took out the Rabbaroos." The Announcer said as neither team gain ground.
"Round three is a tie. We go to a tie breaker to decide the match." The man with the microphone said as the referee tossed a coin into the air. "The Fire Ferrets win the coin toss. Which element do you choose?" The referee said to The Fire Ferrets. "I got this." Mako said. "I know you usually handle these, but frankly your head's not in the game. I'm going to take this one. We choose earth." Bolin said to Mako before turning to the referee.
Then everyone, but Bolin and the earth bender from the Boar-Q-Pines left the circle in the middle. "Looks like the earth benders will collide in the tiebreaker face-off." The Announcer said as they were raised. "I hope Bolin can handle it." Dakota said as the bell rang again.
Bolin and the earth bender from the Boar-Q-Pines went for a full on head to head battle. Both used earth disks and tried to force each other off the small space they had. "Bolin goes in for the grapple." The Announcer said as Bolin grabbed the man's waist. "Chang reverses." The Announcer said as the earth bender from the Boar-Q-Pines tossed Bolin into the air. "Bolin strikes from midair, knocking chang to the edge of the circle." The Announcer said as the earth bender of the Boar-Q-Pines was forced to the edge.
"Another strike from Bolin, and changes in the drink!" The Announcer said as the earth bender went flying into the water. "The Future Industries Fire Ferrets win their quarterfinal match!" The Announcer said as everyone started to cheer. "Ooh that was a close one forlks. Youth trumps experience tonight." The Announcer said as Korra and Mako resume being mad at each other. "This is not good." Lucas said watching Korra and Mako.
They had a few hours to rest before their next match. So Korra went to a platform outside the arena for some air. With Mako going after her. "We need to talk." Mako asked Korra as he arrived at the platform. "Look sometimes you can be so infuriating." Mako said to Korra. "Save your breath. You've already made it clear how you feel about me." Korra said not facing Mako. "No I haven't. What I'm trying to say is as much as you drive me crazy, I also think you're pretty amazing." Mako said to Korra.
"So you do like me?" Korra said turning to Mako. Yes, but-. I like Asami, too. I don't know things are complicated. I've been feeling really confused-." Mako said but was interrupted by Korra kissing him. But instead of breaking away from the kiss Mako injoined it. But then they stopped and notice Bolin standing behind them with a bokay of flowers and a shock look on his face. And their trainers friends behind him each with a worried, sad, disappointed, and angry look on their face.
Then Bolin started to cry. "Bolin this isn't what you think." Mako said as Bolin ran pass the trainers crying his eyes out with Pabu on his shoulder. "I told you that romance would be a dad idea but did you listen to me no you did." Zoey said walking towards them with an angry look on her face. "Yeah look what you did." Mako said to Korra.
"She was talking to both of you. Even though I told you that this wasn't the time for all this drama." Lucas said with a disappointed look on his face. "You're blaming us?" Korra said to Lucas. "Yes you two just had to kiss and break Bolin heart." Lily said with a sad look on her face. "But she kissed me!" Mako said pointing to Korra. "You kissed me back!" Korra said to Mako.
"All right enough we can play the blame game later first let's find Bolin before something happens to him." Dakota said as he and Mako ran off after Bolin. "Well played Korra." Korra said watching them leave. "I told you to save this drama for after you win but now thanks to your impacince the Fire Ferrets are going to lose." Zoey said as she, Lily, and Lucas went back inside leaving Korra to think about what she's done.
Republic City Streets
"I think he's in here." Dakota said leading Mako into the restaurant they ate yesterday. "Hello Narook is my brother here?" Mako asked the restaurant owner. "Ah Mako." Dakota said as he and the restaurant owner pointed behind Mako. Mako then turned to see Bolin out cold surrounded by empty bowls. "Oh thanks." Mako said to The restaurant owner and Dakota.
"Come on wake up." Mako said trying to wake Bolin up. "How did you eat all this food we were only ten minutes behind you?" Dakota said looking at the dirty bowls. "I'm taking you home, bro." Mako asked Bolin as Bolin raised his head looking sad. "Don't call me that. You're not my brother. You're a brother-betrayer." Bolin said as he started to cry again. "What is this stuff made out of?" Dakota said picking up one of the bowls.
"The only one I can trust anymore is Pabu. Pabu loves me." Bolin said looking at Pabu who was asleep in a bowl. "You're a mess, and we've got the biggest match or our lives soon. Let's go." Mako said trying to help Bolin up. "No I'm not going anywhere with you, you traitor." Bolin said moving away from Mako. "We don't have time for this. Garchomp help us out here." Dakota said letting Garchomp out. "Garchomp?" Garchomp said wondering what doing on.
"Garchomp can you help us here?" Dakota said to Garchomp pointing to Bolin. "Garchomp." Garchomp said shrugging his shoulders and picking Bolin up. "Why?" Bolin said crying as he was toast over Garchomp shoulder. "I told you dating a teammate was a bad idea." Mako said to Bolin as Dakota picked Pabu up and they started to walk out of the restaurant. "You're a bad idea." Bolin said to Mako. "Classy." Dakota said. "Put me down. Put me down." Bolin said trying to get off Garchomp. "Garchomp." Garchomp said shaking his head in annoyance. "Sorry about the mess." Dakota said as they left the restaurant.
Republic City Arena
Later that night Korra entered the changing room to see Bolin still putting, Mako not talking and the trainers just sat down looking at the ring. Korra then got ready then they went to the ring. "You can't find two teams more evenly matched in age, size, and strength than the Fire Ferrets and the Buzzard-Wasps. This should be a pulse-pounding semifinal, folks." The Announcer said as the bell rang starting round one.
"The Buzzard-Wasps open with a flawlessly executed combo." The Announcer said as The Fire Ferrets are forced back into zone two. "All three Ferrets take an early visit to zone two. "All three Ferrets take an early visit to zone two. And Mako knocked all the way back into zone three!" The Announcer said as Mako got knocked into zone three.
"The Fire Ferrets have been struggling to stay alive since the opening bell. All three players are totally out of sync tonight." The Announcer said as the Fire Ferrets landed nothing. But an earth disk hit bolin in the stomach knocking him into zone three. "Ooh that has got to sting!" The Announcer said as he took off his helmet. Then Bolin throw up over the side. 'Gross." Lily said looking away.
"And Bolin loses his noodles literally. Which reminds me, this match is brought to you by our sponsor Flamey-O instant noodles. "Noodley-est noodles in the united republic" The Announcer said as Bolin regain his helmet and the fight continued. But it didn't last long because Korra got knocked back into zone three. "The Buzzard-Wasps fly deeper into Ferret territory." The Announcer said as the fight resume.
Soon Mako got sent into the water. "And Mako plunges into the pool." The Announcer said as Mako hit the water. "Can the Fire Ferrets hold on? The Wasps have the Ferrets backed up to the edge." The Announcer said as the bell rang, saving them from falling. "And the Ferrets are bailed out by the bell. They had better pull themselves together, folks, for round two. Otherwise they can kiss the finals good-bye." The Announcer said as everyone got ready for round two.
But they weren't doing much better in round two. Mako then hit Bolin in the back after he got knocked back into zone two. "This isn't going well." Lucas said as Bolin got up. "Hey watch it." Bolin said to Mako only to hit with a water shot. "GET YOUR HEADS IN THE GAME." Lucas yelled at them. "The Wasps take advantage of Mako's unforced error, And Bolin's in the Pool!" The Announcer said as Bolin went overboard. "Ooh and a blatant hold by the avatar." The Announcer said as Korra waterbend a person up like a geyser.
"Korra stop that to rough." Lily said covering her mouth as a whistle blow. "Unnecessary roughness! Move back one zone!" The Referee said to Korra. "I'll unnecessarily rough you up!" Korra said splashing the referee. "KORRA!" Dakota yelled to Korra. "And the avatar is slapped with a yellow fan the Ferrets are their own worst enemy right now. It's just sad to watch." The Announcer said as Korra moved back. And round two went to the Buzzard-Wasps
"With the Buzzard-Wasps leading two rounds to zilch, the Ferrets' only hope of winning is with a knockout." The Announcer said as they got ready for round three. "Well I guess there's always next year." Mako said giving up. "Come on, we still have a chance, even if it is a slim one." Korra said to the team. "The way we're playing, we don't even deserve to be in the finals." Bolin said to Korra. "Look if we don't pull together and work as a team we'll never forgive ourselves." Korra said to Bolin and Mako.
"Let's just get this over with. The sooner the better." Mako said as they got ready. Then the bell rang and once again the Fire Ferrets were having trouble with Boin quickly getting knocked back. "Bolin knocked into zone two, followed quickly by his brother." The Announcer said as Mako was forced back. "And Bolin takes a zinger to the shoulder Looks like it's a clean hit." The Announcer said as an earth disk hit Bolin in the shoulder forcing him in the net. "OW." Bolin said holding his arm.
"Bolin!" Dakota said wondering how much pain Bolin was in. "Bolin!" Mako said looking at Bolin but was knocked overboard. "Mako's in the drink and out of the match. And Bolin keeps playing with one good arm!" The Announcer said as Bolin got back up. "I gotta hand it to him this kid's got grit, but how long can he keep it up?" The Announcer said before Bolin got knocked over.
"Apparently, not very long." The Announcer said as Bolin hit the water. "The Ferrets dream of making it to the finals now rests in the Avatar's hands. But with three-on-one, I don't like her odds." The Announcer said as Korra got knocked back. Down below Mako helped Bolin get out of the water. "Are you okay? How's your shoulder?" Mako asked Bolin. "It's messed up pretty bad. But I think I'll be alright." Bolin said to Mako.
"I'll be the judge of that." Dakota said as he came down. "Dakota I'm fine." Bolin said to Dakota. To which Dakota pocked Bolin shoulder and then Bolin groanin pain. "That it. I'm looking at it. Come on let's go." Dakota said pushing the Mako and Bolin onto the elevator. They were silent for a few seconds. "Is there anything you two want to say to each other." Dakota said to Mako and Bolin. "Are we going to be alright?" Bolin asked Mako. "Of course we are we're brothers. We'll get through this mess." Mako said to Bolin.
"Those weren't the words I was looking for." Dakota said crossing his arms. "I'm sorry." Mako said to Bolin. "Me too girls." Bolin said to Mako. "Seriously." Mako said. "Ok that's not what I was looking for, but it's a start." Dakota said as they could see Korra fighting the Buzzard-Wasps.
"What an unbelievable effort here by Korra. She's dodging every element the Wasps throw at her." The Announcer said as Korra dodge every attack thrown at her. "The Avatar finally gains some ground," The Announcer said as Korra knocked one of the Buzzard-Wasps to zone three. "But with only ten seconds remaining, it might be too little too late." The Announcer said as all three of the Buzzard-Wasps lined up in a strain line in all three zones.
Then Korra fired a stream of water that blast all three of the Buzzard-Wasps off the ring. "It's the big kabosh! What an knockout!" The Announcer said as the crowd started to cheer wildly. "Yes we did it!" Bolin cheered. "Yeah." Mako cheered. "That's our girl." Lily cheered. "An amazing move." Lucas cheered. "She did great." Zoey cheered. "She impressed us all." Dakota cheered. "It didn't seem possible folks, but the Fire Ferrets are headed to the finals." The Announcer said as Korra waved to the crowd.
Back in the changing room Mako hug Bolin. "Shoulder, Shoulder." Bolin said making Mako stop. "Sorry." Mako said. "Ok Bolin let me see it." Dakota said a Bolin took a seat. "That was pretty much the coolest thing I've ever seen." Bolin said to Korra as she walked towards them. "That was amazing." Lily said talking Korra.
"Thanks for not giving up on us. We never would've made it this far without you. I owe you big time." Mako said to Korra. "You can thank Lucas he told me that the moment we lose is when we give up." Korra said rapping her arm around Lucas. "That right Korra." Lucas said as he and Korra did a fist bump. "So I know things are confusing right now, but I hope we can still be friends." Korra asked Mako. "Definitely." Mako said as Tahno walked in.
"Oh, oh. You boys smell something in here? Wit I know what that is. Yeah that's the scent of losers." Tahno said to them. "I'm sure what your smelling is your cheap cologne." Dakota said making the Fire Ferrets and the trainers laugh. But it made Tahno mad. "I hope we see you in the finals. Then we'll see who the losers really are." Korra said as Tahno walked past her. "Yeah I'm peeing my pants over here." Tahno said. "I'm sure some of our Pokemon can make that happen." Lucas said looking at Tahno with a mean look. Tahno didn't say anything but walked right next to his team. "And now, the defending champs, the White Falls Wolf-Bats!" The Announcer said as they started to move to the ring.
Korra then started to get made. "Save it for later Korra we'll bet them." Lucas said putting his arm in front of her. "Great job." Asami said as she entered the room and hug Mako before turning to Korra. "Oh hey Asami." Zoey said to Asami. "What a comeback Korra. I've never seen a hat trick like that." Asami said to Korra. "Thanks, but if it hadn't been for you and your father, we wouldn't have had the chance to play. So thank you." Korra said to Asami. "And peace has been restored. Now we can win." Lucas said making everyone cheer. "So Dakota hows Bolin?" Lily asked Dakota.
"Well nothing's broken, but it's definitely bruised. It will take time to heal." Dakota said looking at the injury. "Ooh let me help." Korra said touching the injury. "Ow! Ah!" Bolin screamed. "Korra we're trying to help." Dakota said to Korra. "Yeah haven't you hurt me enough, woman?" Bolin said to Korra. "Relax guy's I'm a healer. I learned from Katara the best there is." Korra said pulling out a water bubble. "Korra what are you doing?" Dakota asked.
"No, no, no, ohhh… that's the stuff." Bolin said as the pain started to melt away. "You got to teach me that." Dakota said to Korra. "Bolin I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. I didn't mean to let things get out of hand." Korra said to Bolin. "Ah I'll be alright. But we had fun together didn't we?" Bolin said to Korra. "I had a great time honestly. You are one of a kind, Bolin." Korra said to Bolin. "Please go on I enjoy praise. But I have to ask did you have a fun time." Bolin asked Lily and Dakota.
"I had a great time." Lily said to Bolin. "Me to Bolin. Look man I'm sorry you had to go through it, but know that I'm sure one day you will find that special someone someday." Dakota said to Bolin. "Your winners is the Wolf-Bats." The Announcer said as the bell rang surprising everyone.
"What how is it over already?" Korra asked as Zoey moved to the railing. "Ah you all may want to see this." Zoey said looking at the other team. "With a brutal round one knockout, the defending champs secure their spot in the finals. I hope the ferrets know a good doctor, because they're gonna need one!" The Announcer said as Korra and Lily looked at the destroyed other team with worry on their faces. "The finals are going to be a fight." Lucas said as they watch the Wolf-Bats leave with a big smirk on their faces.
