Hello my patient and hungry readers! Boy do I have alot to tell yall about this time. So as the really aware are aware of, Im cooped up in this homeless shelter and it's been like this for me for about 2 months now. A few poeple respect me here, but it wouldnt nearly as bad if the head of the place wasnt such a hyprcitical jerkass and i have to walk where ever i need too go alot more often. I might as well be a dam traveler at this point. There's also how Im maidenless (pretty sure most know this reference. if not let's say bitchless) and currently have a low amount of money, mostly due to these service providers legit suddenly STEALING my money. It was even after they refunded me on the same week! That drama aside, Imma be stuck here til later in October. My schedule to write looks consistent now, since they dont check in on us throughout most of the day, and if i write right after i get off of work (even better when i dont come in. Like today!). I would mention about how Freedom Planet 2 has been holding me up but I've been running into alot of freezing issues in it, so it virtually doesnt hinder me here lol I do aim to beating it asap
I guess that's it for my personal life no one here cares about, so imma jump into thoughts on the chapter now. This could've came out much earlier last night, but I sat there thinking about how I was gonna end this off, then i ended up falling asleep lol The strongest members in the Gym Leader's team almost quickly became characters I wanna do more with. I was kinda even tempted to let Josh lose anyway to give them more screentime to themselves, but this became waaay longer than I intended. It might've been due to Terry's inclusion but he didnt fight that much here, then there was Josh's 2nd try here, which he definitely would've lost both times if it weren't for Tiff's Mega form. I feel like I did a decent job showing the potential of Macey's Mega form, which is currently short as hell for her to keep up. I think it was an interesting direction that I have Josh just do his 2nd try at the Gym by himself due to realizing how powerful Tiff's Mega form is, and how Suzy's doing her own sort of Journey too. I may give her more purpose for the story so she doesnt feel too forgotten but we'll see. ofc BT was my star player for the chapter, and I really like how she turned out. She felt pretty cool to write for too. If only Shell got the same treatment, and I wanted her to feel more wicked than cowardly, but I honestly wasnt sure of how to go about that, so I went with the latter characterization lol She still played out nicely overall. Barrage was someone I wanted to shine more but feels like he got cucked the most, with Jet and Shell feeling like they did more than him, I dunno if y'all feel the same. It did feel a bit shotty here ngl, so I wanna come back to these guys the most out of all the Gym Leaders once the main story's done. Oh and there was a bit of name changing here too, cuz I wasnt feeling Nick and Valerie over time. Seems that it was cool that Blitz was originally Shell's name but was given to the Gym Leader's Delphox. A temptation was there to include Vreyian but since this chapter's so beefy this time, he'll have to wait til next time. I'd give this a solid 8/10 if I were to rate it.
Some last things here. Lately I've made Chapter Previews available on my to help the wait for my chapter drops. "But YNS, why dont you make chapters that's 1000 or less?" Well guess what, RandoCuck98. No one's paying me so far to demand that and it doesnt feel as fun to drop much shorter stories, cuz it just seems like small stories means lesser opportunities to flex my creative muscles and just doesnt fit my writing style rn. It's sort of what Extra Chapters are for anyway, and those dont even break 1000 views. Maybe cuz their narrative weight is nonexistent but no one talks about my stories like that, so it sounds like ppl that complain like that are just saying shit. Speaking of Extra Chapters and the new stories though, I wanna do Extra Chapters more often since those seem to be where I lack the most as far as my content. Now the new stories...Yall've been showing some real interest in them with the numbers I've been seeing. Like Pitou got over 1000 in less than a month? Bruh. Then Carrot's been over a 1000 for a while. Even sitting comfortably at over 1.7k views. So Imma try to do chapters for Carrot and Pitou more often too, while still trying to do stuff for Renny more often to wrap her story up. It's been sort of a goal to finish her story within the year at this point lol. Anyways, I have a few Chapter Previews for my other stories on there now, and I'll have to replace the Lopunny Preview really soon to at least have 3 or 4 up on there. I wanna get to this drawing idea I've been having for a while too. Since the Reader looks different in my head for each fanfic I do, I wanna draw out how he'd look across them all. I think it's something that everyone can appreciate, especially for the viewers that dont get a taste for all my stories...Which Im sure is most of y'all lol. Oh and Im planning to have yet another new story only be on for a while since I've been having alot of ideas for it, and it'll be in the Chapter Previewer tier, so watch out for that too. Aaaaand I guess that's pretty it. I already posted my line-up on my Conversation Tab, so y'all should be good on updates now. All this said, time to either get hyped or coom out. Or both! :D

Chapter 9: Sisters Vs Sisters! The Fiery, Unlosing Duo And "The Hero"!
—-—
Inside one of the Zenith bases outside of East Quintile Town, there was a Sneasler that could be found in the middle of the building, strung up by wires and needles, attached to a wall. The poor gal was wrinkly looking from having her nutrients and blood suck from her, gathering into a large tube in front of her. "*sneaks into the room, seeing two Zenith goons in front of her, having out an Ampharos and Frogadier* ('Remember, lil' Shelly. Even if in front of a some mon you're weak to, you have a talent with this stick of your's. You should be better at quick-thinking now'...I have to make this as fast as possible. Crave said I have 5 minutes..And it's been 3 now..)" Shell thought to herself, amping up her stick while covering her body in flames. The Ampharos felt a sudden rise in temperature and turned around, pushing the Braixen back with a strong thrust, almost knocking her off her stick. "! *looks at his hands, seeing them covered in static charges* (Great..Now how'll I win...I know only three moves..This other move..Im just bad at is all...I'll have to stall to use it, so let's try this)" the Braixen was saying, jetting to the Ampharos with her stick now in one hand, taking a Water Gun to the face but still kept her momentum. "Not enough eh..Frogadier, Water Puuuls- *sees a bunch of shifty mirrors appearing and surrounding the room* Is that me? No, this is me. No, that's me. It has to be!" the Zenith member frantically said to himself, "*lowers to knees, holds head with both hands* Make it stop...Make this stop!" the other said, "Ampha? *sees Shell still dashing in* Ampharos!" the Ampharos said, putting his hands on the floor and generating an electric wall with his Thundershock he emitted from his arms. "(Magic Room did great against the goons, it seems. Good. Now he wont see this)" Shell told herself, darting with a sharp left to the Ampharos' surprise as the Frogadier, with fast eyes of his own, shoots a few Water Guns at where she's going to be, but it was proved useless against the Light Screens she had up in front of her to, surprising him too as he was getting his face mashed in by them, thrusting him into Ampharos. "*gets zapped intensely against Ampharos' electric body* FROGAAAA! XOX" the Frogadier shouted in pain before exploding off of his partner's body, flinging into the air as the Braixen zipped pasted the Ampharos out of a smokey cloud. He sees how his partner fell to the ground and is out cold, then stares at Shell angrily. "*chuckles* What's wrong? Was it something I did or maybe you needed your Trainer after all? ewe" Shell taunted, ticking off her opponent before he shoots her with an array of Thundershocks. "(That's right. Just like that)" Shell thought to herself, dashing around him, frustrating him even more. Fed up, he was charging up his Hyper Beam in his mouth, but suddenly, he found himself stabbed through from behind by a poisonous claw. Looking behind, it was Sneasler's claw, who was still pretty drained, but had enough strength to, though sluggishly, able to throw him in the air after a spinning start. The opponent found himself exploded on by the Braixen, who zipped through him with her stick as her guide and finished him with her Psybeam shot, pushing him hard, high against the wall, making him suffer a 25ft fall, and he's gone just like that, folks! "*walks up to the now tired Braixen* You weren't too bad there. Got a name?" the Sneasler asked, "S-shell.." she answered, "Shell? Whatever. Call me Amber. I guess we're getting out of here...You know about a certain Weevil...Do you?" Amber asked back, "Yeah..It's...A friend of his o;" replied the Braixen, "Hmm. Alright then. You first" she also replied, letting Shell take the lead out of the base. They left with little issue, and were met with Crave, who had an approving smile on her face.
Over to our favorite trainers in this story, they explored the new town they entered, and see buildings, big and small, that were rundown, having burn marks on them. The grassy grounds were in similar condition, finding many burned patches where ever they went. "Hmmm, this place could do without all these burns. I can tell that the people dont look happy about it either" Josh pieced together, "Do you have some friends here, J? I keep forgetting to ask whenever we go somewhere ^ ^;" Cypress asked, "Oh yeah! *knocks on my head* I keep forgetting to come back to them. Man, wait til they hear about me trying to get my 5th badge. And oh! I forgot entirely about Jake having some Great Balls for me in Brimdale! Hold on, lemme text him" Josh remembered, "Heheh, we sure've had alot on our minds, huh? Friends were apparently the last things we could thing of / u\;" Cypress replied, "Yeah. Cant believe I forgot 'em. Jack..Dex..Tommy..Brandon...Oh heheh, we even have this guy we call Pizza. Wonder what he's doing too ^ ^" Josh told Cy, bring out a giggle from everyone. They took a moment to wait for his friends to text back, then Josh broke the silence. "So what's the thing about this place, Cy?" Josh asked him, "Oh right. Over here, J. *walks over to a set of large trains* These used to take people all over the Region 5 years ago, and used to take you to the other Quintile Towns, but ever since Zenith started attacking, they couldn't even move an inch. Now most of the people just live in them. They can just go door-to-door and the Center is in one of them. That's kinda neat, huh? ouo" Cypress explained, "That'd explain why I just dont see much of anyone in these houses. Must've really abandoned them. This place would've been a shy away from a ghost if it weren't for these. Let's take a look. *opens a door, seeing how decorative the inside is, set with tables and a few eating places* Sweet! It really is the best part of town! Let's grab a bite, Cy. I am kinda hungry" Josh said with a lifted spirit, "You betcha, J! ^ ^" Cypress reciprocates, with the two ordering foot-long sub sandwiches (for 770poke). The moment they sat together, Tiff grabbed Josh's sub, looked at him with her favorite predatory look, opened wide and draws the foot-long back and forth from her mouth. "Ugh.. *steals it back* Tiff cmon, we're in public. You've been a bit too active lately. What am I gonna do with you? *feels phone buzzing* Hmph. Some timing, guys" Josh comments, flipping his phone open, "Oh, you have a flip phone, J? I thought no one buys those anymore ^ ^" Cy said, "Oh hush. My place is just...A bit behind, is all" he replied, looking slightly embarrassed, but deep down, he knew it was a preference of his.
"[Jake's Text] Oh dont worry, Josh! That's a amzing tho! U r already on ur 5th Gym! Rodney would be excited to send you some Great Balls after hearing this!"
"[Dex's Text] Yo Josh! Sorry it's been awhile but man, them Loppunys sure sound really strong! How're they? You're doing alot with this team you have!"
"[Josh] (How are they..Should I tell 'em? I dunno how they'll react...What's Pizza saying?)"
"[Pizza's Text] Eeeeey, long T no C, J-man! Wish you's were here, cuz this guy in a black patchy coat n lng black hair wuz here da other day. No idea what he wuz talkn' bout, but he aint movin' from my town's spot. What's da deal w/ this weirdo eh?"
"[Josh] (That sure does sound familiar. I think Pizza told me he moved to Yllodile City...Man is that a way from where I am. Tommy still hasn't replied...Guess him and Bradon are busy)"
"[Cypress] Hey J...You didnt tell them anything about your...Relationship with your team, did you? Or about Vrey? *see him look down in silence*...I..Dont think they gotta know about Vreyian..O-or about how I am with my Pokemon, s-so! Uh, h-how about testing the waters with one or two of them? ^ ^;"
"[Josh]...I dunno, Cy...It's just that.."
"[Cypress] Look J..*gets his attention* It's not your fault..You saw something in them, right? Well it's gotten you this far cuz of it. Well that and your mom, but still. Yknow what I mean, right? ^ ^;"
"[Josh] Yeah...You're right, Cy..Only one way to find out, right?"
"[Josh's text (To Dex and Jake)] Thanks for the reply, guys! Me and the twins've been doing great! Even work really well together! Now as far as I am w/ 'em..Well let's say I...I really love them...They mean a ton to me...And there're times that I got... I-intimate with them..Sorry to tell y'all, but most of time, it's not me, I swear! O If the younger one were like the older one, it'd happen only once or twice, ok?! Pz undertand, Im beggin' y'all plzzzzz! /~~~/"
"[Josh] *siiiigh* Alright Cy...I did it."
"[Macey] *rubs Josh's back* I known you could do it, Josh.../u/"
"[Josh] And Cy...Even if I do lose 'em..Im glad I could keep a guy like you. No one's been this close with me for this long. I just wish I realized sooner ^u^."
"[Cypress] Same here, J! I guess it is hard to think about when in the moment, huh? u"
"[Josh] Tell me about it...*feels buzzing* Oh man, one of them texted back..No wait they both did."
"[Jake's Text] WHOOOOOOA J-josh! I didnt think it'd be like that 4 u...Well u wer out 4 almost a week n had to sleep w/ them so...D-don't wrry so much k? Alot of ppl know how attractive & curvy a Lopunny is. I'd never guess you'd bag 2 that cen talk 2. Ur kinda lucky if u ask me...Just uh...Dont tell the world about it, k? That's still crazy 2 think about lol"
"[Josh] (Phew...At least Jake took it really well. Oh man, now Dex)"
"[Dex's Text] AYO DOOOOOOOOODD! DONT TELL ME U DOIN' THEM! CHILLLLL! TMI Bro! I don wanna hear u catching Pokerus and u in the hospital cuz of it! Better watch that one Punny gril u got! She'll git u in troubu da most! I got a colla 4 bof of 'em if u need it in. Jus cm down to Birming's be4 a Jenny cuffs ya!"
"[Josh] Drrrrgh! Imma give Dex a piece of my mind when I see 'im!"
"[Cypress] That..Doesnt sound too good..ono"
"[Josh] No kiddin'! And what's Pokerus anyway?"
"[Cypress] Oh that? It's actually a very very rare virus a Pokemon can catch. I only heard of a Ranger rescuing a Pokemon that had it."
"[Josh] Geez, h-how deadly is it?"
"[Cypress] Actually it isn't at all."
"[Josh] Whaaa? A virus that aint even deadly? You'd figure it'd be a Super Virus it's from a Pokemon."
"[Cypress] This is actually one of those Symbiotic Virus. Hard to believe huh?"
"[Tiff] Simbotic? It a robo-virus?"
"[Cypress] Hahah, no Tiff. Symbiotic. As in, whoever contracts it benefits from it. This is a good thing ^ ^."
"[Josh] Huh. No wonder I never heard of it. What's beneficial about it?"
"[Cypress] It accelerates the host's growth when they're training. If I remember right, it even doubles their growth rate. I even heard of one time it even quadrupled for this one Pokemon. It also spreads to the rest of your team. Aint it amazing? ouo"
"[Josh] Hey I gotta have that then! Can people contract it too?"
"[Cypress] Well...The only way I know how is...Yknow..I-If you're too intimate with your Pokemon...At that point, it's deadly. ;"
"[Josh] No way! I gotta make sure they dont have it asap! omo"
"[Cypress] I heard people dying from it within an hour so...Im pretty sure you dont have it, J. *sees him sigh in relief* Anyway, Im finished with my food and a bit to my girls. You too?"
"[Josh] *stands up* Yep! L-Let's go ahead and take on a Zenith Base outside of here!" he declares before exiting the train with his team, having several people staring at him from eavesdropping on their conversations. How nosy! They should go back to eating their food or something! Anyways the gang heads outside, and to the Town exit, but were stopped by a Braixen who dropped in front of them. Her intimidating spirit washed away when she looked up and saw the two Lopunnys in front of her, trying her best to control her shocked expression. "*points at them* Y-you b-better stop right there! A-any T-trainer m-m-m-must challenge and b-b-beat Tyson in battle! o;;; Im S-shelly- I mean Shell! One of his Pokemon! O O;;;;;;" the Braixen told them, "*walks up to her, kneels and pets her, feeling her knees wobble even harder* Aww, take it easy, lil' girl. Heheh why'd he give you such a cute name anyway? ^ ^" Josh asked, "*turns away* I...cuz i dont like being called blitz..or even blitzy /" Shell replied. Josh tugged at her ear and she instinctively slapped his hand away, giving him an angered look. Right when this happened however, a huge pillar of fire occurred between them, blowing Josh away from her and shortly a Delphox walked out of it, with a lit stick in her mouth, acting as her cigarette. "Whooooah! Since when did the Gym Leader get a Delphox too? That's gonna be really tough to deal with, J!" Cypress said, "*gets up* Tell me about, Cy..It's unheard of. *sees an ember on my shirt* What the-! *blows it out and pats it away* Phew..If you wont let us get through, then where's this guy at?" Josh asked, "*takes the stick out and blows a puff of smoke* He aint here, lil boy. You're gonna have ta wait, y'hear?" the Delphox told them, "Wait? What's he doing that's so important?" Josh asked, "Tch. Just training like always. The brat takes forever. Anyways, you guys aint goin' anywhere til he's back, so SIT!" she demanded, and Josh's whole group sat simultaneously. Wow, like they're her pets! How bossy! "Pssst, J. This one looks like she's been speaking for a long time. She has her own accent and everything. I think she's a Pokemon from Victory Road" Cypress whispers to Josh, "Man...Victory Road's gonna be a helluva nightmare then.." Josh said under his breath, "T-that's right! And you better be real quiet in front of big sis Blitz! Or me and her'll send you to the Center so fast you'll-" Shell was mouthing off, "PISS OFF!" Tiff shouted before kicking Shell into the air, making her flip dozens of times before landing on her head. Blitz just watched as she shook her head. "*gets glared at by Tiff* Dont get any funny ideas, bunny bitch..Sit back down if ya know what's good...!" Blitz told her, and after a growl, Tiff sat back down, turned all the way around. The boys and their Pokemon wait there for 12 minutes, as the Delphox floats in front of them, getting another stick from the distance to smoke on. "So uhh...Mind telling us what happened with this town? I got a feeling it's more than Zeith's involvement" Josh asked her, "Then you'd be right, kid. Ty caused most of this. Yeah his team's gettin' too strong to walk around with, but he got a stick up his ayss y'see. Runnin' around with his hero bs is driving everyone up a wall, and he thinks he can do whatever he wants" Blitz told him, "Yknow y-you can just...Leave, right? ^ ^;" Cypress suggested, "And do what? Miss out on all the money he's got? And not bein' accepted anywhere cuz of my nasty attitude? Like hell Im leavin'. He's only delusional guy I know that's willing to deal wit' me. Cant wait for someone to beat 'im fer once. Maybe that'll wake his ass up. 'Sides, Brat #2 aint got no one better ta babysit her fat ass" Blitz was explaining, "! *covers asscheeks* B-big siiis! I told you not to talk about it! ~~~ " Shell told her, "*bonks her on the head with her stick* Pipe it, shorty" she told her. Not appreciating their behavior, Josh sat there thinking long and hard about how he could better their situation. Five more minutes of waiting go by and Blitz broke the silence, "*hears a distant explosion, looks behind* And there he is" she said. Everyone sees a mic falling from the sky, and a guy with a cape slides behind Josh's group, "*catches the mic* It's my time...*stands up and poses* TIIIIIME For My Next Victim, FOOOOLKS! Tyson The Great is going to win it all once again!" Tyson announces confidently, "Whoa J! Look at this guy! *sees him dancing, rocking and jocking to himself* This guy can move, huh? Can you believe it? ouo;" Cypress comments, "*sees a few fans coming to him* It's...three people but they just came outta nowhere. Hey...Hey! HEY! oVo" Josh shouted, "! *stops dancing for them* Someone callin' me? *looks at Josh with an impatient face* Ah the challenger? Ready to get beaten so soon?" Tyson asked, "Save it for when we actually battle, please? Ugh if you wanna just entertain, Imma meet you in the Gym, alright? -v-" Josh said to him, "*sees Josh go into the Gym that was four buildings away* I keep tellin' ya that challenger's aint here for your song and dance, boy. Skip to the fightin', will ya?" Blitz told him, "(This guy really means business. Didnt even gimme a minute to enjoy myself) *flicks curly hair graciously* Hmph. The hero may be late, but better late than never, right? He wants a show and Im the entertainer. You saw him, right? Heh, he's obviously starved for my talents. Let's do what we do best, you two!" Tyson enthusiastically, with Cypress and his team following behind him, already feeling like his fans. Once Josh entered the Gym, he noticed that it was an arena this time, but the platform suspended above a deep, fiery pit of lava. Looking far down made his knees grow weak, then he heard Tyson and the others step through the door, making him look back.
"[Tyson] *walks up to the stairs leading up to the platform, but hangs my arms over it, above Josh* Like it? BT and her boyfriend made that."
"[Blitz] Watch it, Ty...!"
"[Cypress] Whoa, where'd the hate come from?"
"[Blitz] None of your business, kid!"
"[Tyson] Just a lil break-up, guys. Aint a big deal."
"[Blitz] Why you...! *bats eyes at him* I AINT JUST A LIL BREAK-UP, BASTARD!"
"[Tyson] *returns her to her Pokeball* Alright, cool it cool it. Save the agro for the battle. Dont wanna hear it when you work with him."
"[Josh] What was that...*gets his attention* You cant just make her do what you want all cuz you say it.."
"[Tyson] Well it aint cuz it's what I want, It's cuz IM the hero around here. UuU"
"[Josh] SAYS WHO?! You're just self-righteous! That aint how a Gym Leader should be! You should consider how your Pokemon's feelings before doing anything!"
"[Shell] (He's right...Ty gets really inconsiderate...)"
"[Cypress] J's got a point! You might good in some of the people's eyes but most of us dont appreciate how you can just do whatever you want!"
"[Tyson] Im only doing what a hero should, and more. Im an entertainer after all. Everyone should be grateful for just my presence. e e"
"[Josh] Well now I wanna knock you off your high horse, cuz it's time that you wake up."
"[Tyson] And miss out on living the dream? As if!"
"[Shell] I-Im r-ready, Ty.."
"[Josh] Also how did you know we were gonna go to the exit so soon?"
"[Shell] Oh that..Y-Y'see I was told about that from this Salazzle I met. Her pointers were really helpful too."
"[Josh] ! Of course! I cant forget Vreyian's team doing things here and there on their own. (If remember right, it was Crave that's been spying on us the most)"
"[Tyson] Now if you two're done talkin'...*tosses up the mic and tosses out a Pokeball, spins then catches it when a Flareon comes out* ALRIIIIIIIIGHT!"
"[Josh, Cypress and Tiff] *covers ears from his booming voice from the surrounding speakers above the seats* (Could he be any louder?! )"
"[Josh] *sees a dozen people coming in to watch* Huh? He's drawing in an audience again?"
"[Tyson] Of course Im drawing in an audience. What kinda entertainer cant even do that? Ok, Jet! You're up! Show 'em that Team Jet Shell aren't some push-overs!"
"[Cypress] A Flareon...We should watch out, J. Flareons have surprisingly powerful fire attacks. More than your average Fire Type. Who knows how strong this one is."
"[Josh] Or what strategies he has in mind with him."
"[Jet] I'll...Try my best, Ty. I know I can do this!"
"[Josh] (It looks like he has to be self-driven. We'll see how that works for him.)"
"[Cypress] Which one of you want to go first? *sees Bell raise her hand much faster than Tricia* Alright Bell. *pets her* Make sure you dont get hurt by these guys. You'll get some nasty scars.."
"[Josh] I'll have you go first, Mace. Watch out for her, Tiff. Things can get real bad real fast here."
"[Nice] *sees her nod and walk behind Josh, with Macey and Bell stepping up with them* Let's get the vibe up, people! We're gonna have a crazy show this time! Let the battle begiiiiin! Lemme hear it!" he shouted to his watchers, and they shout back in excitement, their voices echoing throughout the big arena, livening up the place in seconds. Since Josh and Cypress aren't used to such attention, they couldn't focus as much as they want to in order to come up with tactics...Gasp! What if that's his strategy?! Let's see if he needs to find that out! "(I have to last long enough til big sis is sent back out..I gotta tell her about what I saw last night. I like you Jet, but she definitely matters more right now)" Shell was scheming to herself. Ooooo, yet another strategy from Tyson's side. A real nasty one too. Let's see how The J Team handle this when it's put into full effect!
Tension filled the air for Josh's team more than ever, with some of it rubbing off on Jet & Shell, and after thinking about how the team had to be tough as nails to get this far, they were practically frozen still in anticipation. To try focusing elsewhere, Jet turned his gaze back to Tyson, who had a big grin on his face. "T-Tyson, you're...Actually smiling. What for?" Jet asked him, "Heheh. Cuz Jet...*points skyward* We're about to win in one move!" Ty confidently said, making the crowd rave in their seats, "Is...That even possible? Wait, of course not! Even if he could, that'd be just two Pokemon out. He'd still have two more" Josh points out, "Tsk tsk. Oh poor ol' J is underestimating my team's power. Who the hell does he think we are, people! He's up against Team Jet-Shell! Guess what, buddy! *points at him* They're so powerful that they'll win this entire battle anyway!" Tyson shouted, "(He cant be serious...It'd literally be impossible)" Josh thought to himself, "*notices Shell give him a low-brow stare* (Hahah, looks like even his Braixen cant believe him either. Maybe he really is blowing hot air ^ ^) *looks at Tyson's wrist* (WAIT!) J! That's a Z-Ring! With a Fire Type Z-Crystal!" Cypress warns him, surprising the Bell, "He has a Z-Ring?! Where the hell'd he even get that?! o o;" Josh reacts, "Now you get the idea..Go ahead and rev it up, Jet! Show 'em how strong you really are!" Tyson encouraged. When Josh heard this, he touches the Lopunnite, "That's right, Jet...*points while Z-Ring starts glowing; seeing Macey dashing in with an ear-punch frantically but gets guarded by Jet, who sped in front of her, bouncing her back* Give it all you got...With INFERNO OVERDRIVE!" heartfully commanded Tyson, "*sees Jet make an incredibly large fireball come out of his mouth, added onto by fires from his fur, and how the power of it was cracking the platform* (NO WAY! He's-! He's actually going to destroy the whole platform with that move! There's no doubt that it'll wipe us out AND destroy our footing if it hits!) MAAACEEEYY! *sees her look back* YOU GOTTA DO IT! YOU HAVE TO MEGA EVOLVE! PLEEEEAAASSSEEE! O" Josh shouted loudly and desperately, "Josh.../. \" lowly said Macey, with every fiber of her being screaming, howling how much she wants to protect her team, but more importantly, Josh from this great attack that the opposition cant look past as it almost touches the crowd. In that instant as well, Josh's keystone bracelet gave off the same brilliant glow as before, morphing Macey as the fiery attack was only a meter away from her as she looked at the sun-like sphere in awe. "*has arm in front of my face for a moment longer before lowering it, notices a really red spot on the arm* Ouch..Im gonna feel that one all day...Wait, what happened to...? *looks up, seeing an awestruck Shell who fell on her butt* No way...*looks up, seeing Macey falling from the sky upside-down gracefully with her eyes closed, landing with a spin, slowly opening her eyes to Tyson's team with very calm stare, unfazed by the loud explosion in the sky* Macey...Did you...Did you actually that huge into the sky?! THAT fast?! That's amazing! OoO" Josh praises, resulting in Macey in her Mega form give him a gentle smile before flopping on the ground to everyone's surprise...Wow. "Sish!" Tiff loudly said, taking an initial run to her, "I-I wouldn't do that.. *sees her stop* I-If...If you take another step..Your team is disqualified..If anyone else interferes that hasn't bee switched out, then you lose automatically! " Shell told them, "Heh, that's right! One of them Gym rules. Y'all heard her! If she doesnt get up soon, you're gonna have to-" Tyson was saying, "Ain't gotta" said someone else, walking up to the steps. "*sees him flick his long white tail of hair, making some of the girls scream out of their seats* What the...Terry?! *runs up to him* He just mentioned about disqualifying me! You cant just walk up suddenly like this!" Josh told him, "Well hold 'bout this...I win, and you challenge him again tomorrow. I lose, you take it from where I left off" Terry offered, "Sorry, big guy. He's gonna have to wait here a bit after your little attempt her" Tyson told him, "Can do. *gets in front of Josh, who quickly got pouty* Just dont go down too fast, alright?" Terry said to Tyson, the two exchanging grins of excitement.
At Suzy's house, she stared out of her window as it started to rain in her area, petting her Charmander. It rarely rained for her town, and this made her feel down about her situation. Despite knowing a handful of things she doesnt like about Josh, she still thought about him. She really did like him when they met, enjoyed seeing his shy side, and how he saved Chester, her Charmander. After some deep thought, her stomach growled. When she opened her fridge downstairs, there were only supplementary things left in it like ketchup and tomato sauce cans. Right when Suzy was about to call her parents, she heard the door knocking, surprising her. She had never been approached by visitors, so it scared her to open the door. With Chester at her side, she stepped forward to grab the knob.
"[?] *sees her open the door, crossing arms* Hey there, girly."
"[Suzy] ! W-who're you?! Why's your deal being here?"
"[?] The name's Amber by the way, and I need a Trainer to help me look for the right Daycare."
"[Suzy] D-daycare? Why would you wanna look for that?"
"[Crave] *slithers down from above, touching her face* To get her dear lil kids back."
"[Suzy] Eeeek! *falls, lands on my back* A-a Salazzle too?"
"[Amber] Relax. She just happened to hear word on the street about you and your condition."
"[Suzy] So you'll...Have me go with you so we can get a better doctor?"
"[Amber] If that's what it takes to bring you along, then yeah."
"[Crave] I'll be shortly joining. I gotta get back to my Trainer before he blows a gasket about me being away for a while and whatnot."
"[Suzy] I guess so then...Im pretty hungry too.."
"[Crave] Hungry for some Josh too, apparently. Boy do I hope you're willing to deal a Lopunny lover like him."
"[Suzy] I-I know, ok! It's just...Im still thinking about it.."
"[Amber] Well you got plenty of time to think when we're on the move, so cmon" she told her, walking outside with a cautious Charmander following her. Little did she know, Crave was given some special orders. Getting intel on Josh's interest that Chasm picked up on when briefly intruding into his mind yesterday, staying with her as long as possible...So Vreyian can finally experience what it was like to help others, finding out what's really wrong with her for her through his own means. Crave herself has personal investment in her too, but also tacted Amber along for the ride. She liked the idea of making a sort of duo for this ongoing task. Her pal Vrey gave her no more than 3 days however to complete said task. These four individuals were on their way to East Quintile Town, and were aiming to go to the other Quintile Towns (North, West, South), which were connected by large diagonal rail bridges, leading one town to the next this way, though they still had elongated forests with edges that trailed down to the waters. On the last two routes (Route 389 & Route 390), the forest starts becoming more marsh-like, slowing Suzy down by quite a bit with the muddy ground, sinking her feet in by around halfway with each step. "(Gross..I dont like how deep I can easily sink..I cant wait to wash up and get some new shoes ;) *sees Venomoths and a few Whiscashes come out in front of the team* EEEEEK! They can come from shallow water?! *vision blurs and gets light-headed, holds my head while crouching down slightly* (no no...not again...) You two...My condition..what am I gonna...do now..?" the dreary Suzy was trying to inform them, ""Listen girly, either you give us orders, - *sees her kneel in the mud, knee first* (Tch) Or we fight on our own, either way is fine by me" Amber told her, ready and eager to take on the opposition. These were naturally hard match-ups for them, but some finesse was more than enough before these poor creatures found themselves in pieces!
Back at the Gym, Tyson and Terry were going to the platform after healing their Pokemon with an installed restoration machine. Josh and Cypress sat in the stadium seats, waiting for their turn while watching Tyson's Cinderace (Barrage) fix up the platform with Shell. The newer challenger was analyzing what this guy from head to toe, gauging him, already feeling incredibly strong he is, occasionally looking back at Shell, who always jumped up with a blush whenever he did. "You think he's ever fought a Cinderace before?" Josh asked, "Uh Imma bet never. It's probably why he's looking at him so much. They're supposed to be even more rare in the Eulia Region than their original Region. Even I never seen one before when I went around with...First J. Heheh ^ ^; A-anyways, I'd have no idea what to expect either...Especially with his ability" Cypress replied, "I think I've heard about it somewhere. Aint it got somethin' to do with swi-" Josh was saying, "BEAT THE HELL OUTTA HIM! FOR SISH!" Tiff shouted, "Ugh Tiff! Keep it down, will ya! You got us disqualified, remember? uVu" Josh told her and she looked back with a groan before sitting down. "*look away from Tiff* Hmph. I thought my team were the fiery ones around here" Ty said with a smile, "(Stupid bunny bitch...-V-)" Shell said in her head, "Ya done over there? I've been ready" Terry said while tossing a Pokeball in his hand, "Oh I've been ready too. *gets the mic* Ready To Win, That Is! Are y'all ready to see me win? Lemme hear iiiit! *hears the crowd roar excitedly* Alright then, Big T. Let's see whatcha got. Shell, Barrage. Front and center, so we can give 'im Team Shell-Barrage!" Tyson shouted with alot of energy, "*sees the two get in front of him* Heh. You'll blow your lungs up with that much yelling. Let's shut 'im up for good you two" Terry responds, sending out Rai and Hara. "(If he brought his whole team, I would've sent out Chad and Benny first, but I guess he sees something I dont)" Josh thought to himself. "Yknow what...*sees everyone look surprised* Wait your turn you two. Let's have Chad have his fun" Terry ordered, sending out Chad as his first mons go behind their Trainer, hearing gasps and murmurs from the crowd, "Did you see that, folks? A big decision out of nowhere! Looks like someone's trying to steal my spotlight! (But since he had to beat him to get this far...!) *spins to Josh and points to him* You! Let the crowd know what you did to beat this guy! Is he good enough to take on both of my girls!?" Tyson asked him, "(A-aint that cheating? You dont have to answer if yo-)" Cypress thought, looking at Josh, "Heh. Uhh...Well I didnt beat him..I-It's a bit of a long story ^ ^;" Josh answered him, making Tyson flip his head backwards with a straight face in shock, "*turns to Terry and points to him* Get ready Terry! You're about to have the battle of a lifetime!" Tyson tells him, "*looks up and away in frustration* (Ugh! Let's just battle already! I wanna finish this fast now)" Barrage thought, composing himself with arms folded and closed his eyes. "Dig" Terry commanded, having Chad dig underground, "Shell, Flamerthrower in the hole!" Tyson told her, "(Too late) Thunder Punch" Terry also commanded, surprising Tyson as Chad zipped right past him, Thunder Punching Shell in the back, later surprising Barrage as his head turned to her when Chad completed the jab by carrying his momentum all the way through her, flinging the Braixen in the air in a small spurt of blood that got on Barrage's face. What a start, right?! "*trades a serious gaze with Chad* Drrrrgh! Ty!" Barrage shouted, "(Pyro Ball will take too much energy but I gotta land something good) Barrage, give 'im your Super Fang!" Tyson ordered, and his Cinderace sped up to Chad in a split-second, quickly getting in his face, "(Whoa! This is a really fast Cinderace!)" Josh & Cypress thought in awe, "Lucha! *tries to bat Barrage with a wing, but he gets underneath his arm, spun a bit and lands Super Fang to his ribs* Lucha? *gets bitten by his Super Fang after he quickly spun* LUCHAAAA!" the Hawlucha shouts in pain. "*sees alot of spew in the air from Chad's side* (Super Bite does so much damage! He's gonna go down in no time!) *looks at Terry fixing his hat* (Huh? How's he not worried about this?)" Cypress asked himself in his head, "(If he misses this, it's over for him) Use Submission on the Cinderace. *sees Chad grab Barrage tightly, flying him into the walls of the ring and brushing him along it as his blood kept leaking out* Now use Endeavor" Terry ordered him, making his Hawlucha dig his beak into Barrage's neck, making his eyes whiten out, hard enough to cause a big crack in the wall from the attack's shockwave! Yikes! "That must be a new move! It's really strong too!" Josh reacts, "(Everything is as planned so far) Give him a Sky Drop" Terry said with a smile, making his Hawlucha slam Barrage into the ceiling near the large opening hole of the arena and slamming him down to the ground, hard enough to blow away Shell and a huge plumb of dust kicks up. Once the dust settles, Barrage is seen with alot of blood running down his head, but Chad stood to the side of him, looking down at him. "Thunder Punch" Terry ordered, and Chad lands a strong punch of lightning into Barrage's back, making a deep crater below him, leaving a gash big enough that burned off his back's fur in the process as he laid there in defeat. "Amazing...I had no idea Chad was that strong o o;" Josh reacts, "Actually..It had to do with his strategy. Endeavor brings the opponent down to your current level...So he planned to get hit by something like Super Fang! That was genius!" Cypress said, "Roost up, Chad. You deserve it" Terry told him, seeing him cover himself in his wings while kneeling, "He also has a healing move...J, this is unbelievable. I think he got way stronger since we fought him. It's..Kinda scary" Cypress said. Barrage was returned. Tyson was in awe himself, but masked it with a rare serious look as he looked at his next Pokeball, putting it to his head. "...Do it, Blitz! Show him some fireworks!" Ty said as he threw her Pokeball out, "*lands, looks at him as he puts back on his ambitious face, and sees how bad Shell looks on one knee* Looks like we got a real tough bastard for once. Just use everything ya got, Shelly" Blitz told her, "Say no more, BT. Just give him a good ol' Mystical Fire!" Ty told her, having her shoot him with a string-like wave of a sparkling fire through her stick, "*sees Chad dodge it with ease* Ugh, piss off, will ya?" Blitz said, shooting him with a few more faster shots of it, having one of them land as he falls to the ground, "Now Shell..*makes Z-Ring glow* Use Inferno Overdrive!" Tyson shouts, "! (A-Alright?! Ok then!)" Shell thought in surprise, flying up with her stick and blasting down at Chad with huge fireball, "WHOA! She can do it too!?" Josh said in surprise as the crowd was raving around him, watching as Chad couldn't get up in time and had it explode on him, "Chad! No! Are you ok?!" Terry asked, "(I know that wasnt enough) Hypnoses" Tyson ordered with a smirk, "(Wait..HYPNOSES?! Who knows that-) *sees Blitz's eyes start shimmering and glowing* (Oh no...)" Cypress reacts in his head with his eyes popping, everyone now seeing Chad looking at her while on his back with alot of bruises. "Dream Eater, Blitz" Tyson told her, surprising everyone. In Chad's mind, he started hearing voices. "You worthless pigeon" "Shoulda gave up when you could" "What the hell were you thinking?" "This is bad luck for you" "I'll cook and eat you, ya damn chicken" "You're mine..YOUR SOUL IS MINE" he kept hearing as he saw less and less images of her until he saw nothing but darkness. Everyone soon saw nothing in Chad's eyes as he became immobilized, only hearing a few painful groans from him, making Terry return the poor thing to his Pokeball...That hard for me to watch too. The sight made Cypress and Josh shudder inside, having no idea she could do something like this. Tiff gripped her thighs when she saw it, and Macey wanted to gag, slowly breathing to keep it in. "*sees Terry look sorrowful for how Chad was defeated* There..Bet you couldnt see that coming, huh? You should go ahead and give up while you can! Blitz has never lost in the Gym and no cheap Gym Leader is gonna change that!" Shell told him with a smile, "DONT MAKE FUN OF HIM!" everyone heard, seeing that it came from Josh, noticing how serious he looked, making everyoe go silent. "(Tch. What a way to steal my attention)" Ty said in his head, "Listen here, Ty! If that Braixen of your's does that again, Im coming down there and finishing it for Terry!" Josh shouts, "M-m-master! Is he even allowed to do that? Please tell me he isn't!" Shell asked, tugging at Tyson's leg, "*pets her* I think you forgot something..*raises the mic* Whatcha guys think?! Gimme a big shout if you like that idea! *hears a big wooooooooooooooooo from them; lowers it, staring in resentment* (I thought the crowd loved me..What's with them today?) The crowd has spokeeeen! It's a Go for our challenger! Sounds like a Main Event to me!" Tyson shouts, trying to sound as pumped as possible. If only he knew how Karma worked. Rai and Hara step forward, trying to get their heads in the game. "*sees Shell look upset while heavily breathing* (That little Braixen seems tired. Imma make sure to take her out first)" Rai thought to himself, narrowing his eyes on her, "Bullet Punch" Terry suddenly said, surprising everyone as Blitz gets punched in the face by an incredibly fast punch, "*retracts fist, seeing her stare intensely this way* (! She looks really mad now o o;)" Hara said in her head, "You stupid bitch...Im about to shove this stick right up your ass! \M/" Blitz shouts in a fit of rage, dashing to her with killer intent, seemingly appearing behind her with a mouth filled with flames, "Hara, use Flash!" Terry quickly ordered, making her opponent turn her head away from the flash of brightness from her head, but she gets the top of her head grabbed and gets slammed face-first into the ground. "Rai, help with Aura Sphere! *sees him charging a few Aura Spheres* Next use Stone Edge!" Terry ordered, getting Blitz's attention as a sharp stone stabs her in the shoulder with another shooting through her whisker, backing her away, "*bats away the Aura Spheres with flame-engulfed stick; pulls stone out of shoulder* I've had enough of both you bastards. Think you shits are so slick? Then how about this?!" she shouts, throwing out a huge, spinning Fire Blast with a swipe of her stick, coming towards Rai at incredible speeds, making Hara fly away from it but she gets caught in the explosion, which blinded everyone in the crowd and shook the whole platform (surprisingly not breaking it instead). In the middle of smoke it created, Hara tries to get up as she senses that Rai was out cold, only seeing his bloodied head as he mouth was gapped. "*stomps on her head* You thought you could win, huh? *kicks away* Well too bad! *walks up to her with her charged stick, putting it to her face* Say goodbye. Oh! That's right. You cant, can you? ewe *blasts her in the head with a strong Psybeam, sending her flying through the smoke cloud and into the crowd, landing on someone; points to her as the cloud opens up more* Come back when you're way stronger or I'll thrash you myself next time. How could even think any of your attacks would-" Shell was taunting, but gets kicked across the face by Tiff, "*stands up* You're calling off this battle...CALL IT OFF NOW! O\ /O" Josh shouted in rage, "*hears the crowd starting to cheer for Josh, looks around at them* Hmph..Fine then. *picks up the mic* Time for the Main Event, folks! Round 2's Coming Your Way!" Tyson encouraged and announced, getting the watchers excited. "*looks down at Shell, stepping on her while walking past her, looking behind* (Dumbass. Dont ruin everything with that mouth of your's. I was doing just fine)" Blitz was thinking, getting returned with her by Tyson before he took a moment for himself then went to the recover mechine.
Josh hopped down, walking past Ty, wanting to punch him but kept his fist balled up as he stepped up the stairs. "*follows him* Hey J, wait! Yknow you can just wait til tomorrow to do this, or some other day even! You saw how powerful his team is and he didnt go through half of 'em. Terry only got through one and-" Cypress was trying to convince him, "Imma use it, Cy. *stops with him* Macey's Mega form is very unstable..But then there's Tiff...If I can win it all with her, so be it. If I cant, that's when we'll train them. Alright?" Josh said with a calmer look, "*walks past Josh, patting his back on the way* Good luck, kid. Give it your all, y'hear" Terry encourages him with a smile, calming Josh down some more. He looks at his two Pokeballs for a moment and tosses his twins up to the platform before he reaches the top with them. "*gets to the top as well, faces him; taps mic* Here we go, guys! No need for intros, cuz our challenger's coming at us again! Let Round 2 BEGIIIN!" Ty announces, exciting the crowd again. "This Josh kid was good" "He has to be for him to stand up to Ty and his Pokemon" "Will he win against his team?" "Hey Im just now noticing that 2nd Lopunny" a handful of the crowd's murmurings were saying and being heard by the Trainers. "*sees Cypress going down the stairs* (I see. So he's trying to do this with his two Lopunnys? Suit yourself)" Ty thought to himself, "(You've been a good help with these battles, Cy, but I think your team will really get in the way this time. Besides, Tiff should be able to do most of the work here. Macey told me she has something up her sleeve too)" Josh thought and schemed to himself. "It's party time, Team Jet-Shell! *sends out Jet and Shell out of their ball; notices Josh's smirk* (Hmph. Doesnt he know that the Mega form doesnt last much for him? Whaaatever) Jet, start it off with your Lava Plumb!" Ty ordered him, having his Flareon shoot out a wide spread of flames at the twins, "Tiff, use Jump Kick, and Macey just jump over it then try to land with a Dizzy Punch!" Josh told them, and they did as they were told, having Tiff land a powerful kick on the Flareon, blowing him backwards, and Shell catches him, jumping out of the way of Macey's swing of her long ears. "Believe in yourself, Jet! I know you can it! So show 'em your Blitz Fang!" Ty ordered him, and Jet zips around, leaving streaks of fires while his body is ignited. His speed increased enough to where he was able to tackle Macey in this state, then gives her a Fire Fang to the rib, "PUUUUUN! O;" she yelped, thrown to Shell this way, who was charging a Psybeam for her. "Charge Beam, Mace!" Josh told her, "(Charge what now?)" Ty reacted in his head, seeing his Braixen get shot down by Macey's Charge Beam, "Then try a Focus Blast, Tiff!" Josh then commanded, and Tiff shoots out a Focus Blast. It was close to hitting Jet but it redirected to hitting Shell in the gut, making her slide backwards as a thunderous impact could be felt from everyone in the crowd, making her hold her stomach, was bent over. "(How is that this Lopunny knew about Focus Blast? Something is really up with this guy...But what could it be?) Jet, go ahead and use Fire Blast!" Ty told him, and Jet jumped back, shooting a huge fireball at both of the twins, "Tiff, Focus Blast it! Macey, Imma need you get rid of it with your Return!" Josh commanded them, making the audience gasp at his decision as they went for it after a leap. Tiff pitches Focus Blast and Macey closed her eyes as she was sending a flurry of ear-punches upwards at it, and in an instant she found herself hitting Jet with her ear-punches as she quickly finished her assault with one more blow that sent him downwards with a slam of both her ears, as if he was a volleyball! He was cracked into the ground this way, but he still got up, quickly finding out that his leg was broken upon impact. Wow! "*lands and rushes over to him* I gots him, Jos!" Tiff shouts, getting ready to punt him, "Light Screen!" Ty quickly ordered, making Tiff bounce backwards off the screen that hit square in the head, "Ugh Tiff, this is why you should wait for me!" Josh tells her, "*sees how Jet cant move and sees his leg gush alot of blood with each step* Jet, use another Lava Plumb! Jet, follow up with an FC2!" Ty ordered, "(Wait, what was that?!) *sees his Braixen ignite her body while riding on her stick, becoming way faster, swooping up Macey in a split-second, flying to his Flareon only to stop on a dime in front of him, throttling her off of the stick and they both blast with waves of flames from their mouths as she screams in agony before exploding* MAAACEY! Are you ok?! Macey!" Josh reacts, "Hah! She didnt even see it coming! *sees Tiff turn around with an angered face before darting this way* N-no you dont! *puts up a Light Screen in front of her but she headbutts through it* I-I thought it worked earlier!" Shell reacted, taking a Jump Kick to the jaw, her Flamethrowing countered when Tiff briefly used her Foresight, kicking her from underneath. "*stands up* That was amazing, Tiff! Keep it up!" Cypress cheered from his seat, making the crowd holler as they were plenty entertained too. Tiff then went ahead and finished Jet off with a stomp to his head, forcing Ty to return him to his ball. "(Couldnt even have him use Quick Attack) *tosses out the next Pokeball* Win it for us, Star! *watches the Ninetales gracefully land* How about this team? Team Star-Shell! Does that have a ring to it?" Ty asked, "Whenever you wanna take this seriously, I'll be ready. Macey, are you alright?" Josh then asked of her, "Y-yesh..I should be talright.." Macey replied while getting up, "Iron Tail" they heard. When Tiff turned to the Ninetales, a few of her steel tails grazed her cheek, surprised at how precise they are, "Now turn it up with Inferno!" Tyson also ordered his Ninetales, making her shoot alot of her flames upwards, having them rain down on the twins, erupting the ground under them, making them jump around to avoid it all, but still get hit by several big pieces of flames, "Heh, gotta admit. Your girls sure are agile. Most wouldn't be able to dodge Star's Inferno this much!" Ty comments, "While I 'ppreciate the compliment..*raises my head, looking at him with a smirk, putting two fingers on the keystone bracelet* Im afraid Imma end things here" Josh said, having his bracelet shine brightly like before, stopping everyone from what they were doing. "*shakes my head of the brightness* Nine...Ninetal-? *sees an afterimage of a foot on in between my eyes* Tales? *gets kicked away violently in the head, rib and back, throttling in the air while blood gushes from those spots* NINETAAAALES!" Star screamed painfully. "*sees her land on her back, her eyes whited out as her blood leaks on the ground* BRAIXEN! I-I mean, Master! *scurries to Ty's leg* Please! Please! You have to return me! I dont wanna diiiiie! TTOTT" Shell begged him, "*pets her* Yes, master. *looks up at him with a smirk* You wanna return her? I always wondered what fox stew tastes like ewe" Tiff taunts him, rubbing his chest for a moment, making him fall on his ass in surprise. "R-return! *returns her to her ball* Barrage! Y-you're up next! O;" Tyson hurriedly shouts. When Barrage comes out of his ball, Tiff struts behind him, coaxing a Wooooooooh and some whistles from the audience. "*turns to her with widened eyes* (W-when'd she get behind me like that?! Drrrrgh! I wont lose as bad as I did in my previous fight!) Dont underestimate me! Im one of the strongest in Tyson's team for a reason!" Barrage told her, "Hmph. If you say sooo~" Tiff nonchalantly says with a mocking smile.
Tyson sat there, rattling his brain on what his next move should be. Tiff waited in the distance, strutting around, occasionally fixing her hair to the crowd's amusement, enjoying the voluptuous form she's in as the watcher eyes were practically glued to her. "H-hey guys, dont forget your host! I still exist yknow! ; *sees them still looking at Tiff as she finally noticed them and jumped shortly for them, making their eyes widen some more* (Cmoooon! Think, Ty! Do I have any hot Pokemon on my team?...I-I shouldn't be thinking about that! Im supposed to be the hero here! Heroes aren't attracted to any Pokemon! Duuuuuugh, this is my best guess!) Come out, BT! o" Tyson decided, "*is tossed out, comes out of the ball, lands; sees the crowd staring at Tiff with hungry eyes* Ok, what gives? What the hell'd you make me walk into? - -" Blitz asked, "B-big sis Blitz, g-g-give 'em a show! We cant let her s-steal the attention /~/" Tyson tried to tell her, "Give 'em WHAT?! *grabs him by the collar, gets close to his face* THIS IS A BATTLE, NOT A BROTHEL, DAMMIT! Either you get it togetha' or Imma make you! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR, LIL' BOY?! ╬◣ ◢" his Delphox yells at him, "Havin' some trouble with that lil' boy of your's? -w-" Tiff taunted her, "*bats my gaze at her* MIND YOUR DAMN BUSINESS, YA BIMBO!" she barked at her, "Ooooo~ Real fiesty" she said in a mocking tone, "Alright, kid. Who's this broad think she is? Didnt she lose to us or somethin'?" Blitz asked, "She...She Mega-Evolved...- _" Ty told her, "And she became that different eh? Tch. If all I gotta do is beat her ass, that's all you's gotta tell me. Better get ready, Barrage. Barrage? *looks at him, seeing his bulge popping out* IS YOU GETTING HARD FOR THIS BITCH?! ╬◣ ◢" she snaps at him, "! *turns away* O-of course not. Im just as focused as you are /" he told her, but alas, she was unconvinced. "(Ok, here's something) Barrage, use Scorching Sand! *sees him kick up alot of dirt on her, burning most of it's specks in it, and she just stands there, taking the attack* Then go ahead and Coach!" Tyson told him, "Cinder! Ace, Cind, Cinderace! [A wall! She is the wall! Tear her down!]" Cinderace Coaches to Blitz as she nods to his instructions, "(Coach? Is that a move? Pretty sure I've never seen it. Not that Tiff cares though)" Josh thought to himself, "Yawn. Imma make this quick now" Tiff said before speeding towards them, kicking Barrage into the sky before he could react, and v knocks her back with a swing of her flame-engulfed stick, making Tiff stop herself from her 5 meter push. "If you think you can just stand there picking at your fat ass, ya got another thing comin', tuts" the Delphox warned her, "(BT! She's actually doing damage to her!) Since she's part Fighting now, give her your famous Psychic!" Ty shouts to her, "*shifts the space in front of her, confusing her for a second before hitting her with powerful Psychic force, strong enough to blow a deep, 10 yard depression in the wall behind her, only resulting in her back cracking; lowers my stick* Tch. Tough bitch..*looks up* HEY! I know you can hear me! You aint dead yet! If you cant do anything to this bimbo, I sure as hell aint comin' to save your ass!" Blitz told Barrage, "*sees a pebble falling slowly in front of my face* Im not out of the game yet" he said under his breath, kicking the thing around til it caught on fire then gave it backflip kick downwards [Pyro Ball], making a big blazing ball rocket towards Tiff. Not worried, Tiff just slaps it away with swing of the ear, as if she was fixing her hair, even noticing the pebble that came out of it as Barrage lands. As a last ditch tactic, he flamed up his teeth [Fire Fang] and gave Tiff several other Pyro Balls with his fancy footwork, which she mimics and acted as a goalie by catching them, quickly taking all of their heat away with incredibly fast jabs of her ears, only to lose track of Barrage. The next second, Barrage bit down of Tiff's shoulder from behind, however, he bit her afterimage, quickly finding himself getting stomped out by her and took a short punishment from her ear-punches afterwards, putting him three feet into the ground. "I think I stepped in something. Mind putting it up?" she taunts some more, getting a few giggles from the crowd before Ty returns him. "*claps* You'res doing gerate, sish! We wheel win in none time ^ ^" Macey said, "What can I say? He was nothing" Tiff said while checking her nails, with a smirk that remained unchanged, "Why do I gotta be the one to win? *sees most of the crowd still looking at Tiff with drooling mouths* And you lot should be ashamed of ya selves! Fawning over some Pokemon like she's the finest piece of ass around! You's lettin' all ya mammas down! oVo" Blitz chastises the audience, making most feel bad, "You shouldn't be jelly yknow. Your bust size is alot bigger than mine. What're they? Fs? Gs maybe? -w-" Tiff said to her backhandedly, "*presses head against her's* FOR YOUR DAMN INFORMATION, THEY'RE JUST DDs BUT IT AINT YA DAMN BUSINESS TA KNOW WHAT I GOT! ╬◣M◢" Ty's Delphox shouts in her face in anger before Tiff rolls her eyes and pushes her away. After a moment of deep breathing, Blitz towers over Ty, looking down on him with narrow eyes, "Im only sayin' this once, kid. Bring out Devlin then the lil girl if he goes down, til Im the last there is. Rules is rules, so it's time ta cut the crap from here on" Blitz told him, "C-c-can do! ^ ^; *tosses out another Pokeball* Do your best, Devlin! Start out by- *hears a big CREEEAK sound, looks down seeing Tiff's ear retract from the Houndoom, noticing how the attack made his neck bend all the way back, made his horns snap off, as well as twisting it while grunting in agony on his side*...Return.." Tyson lowly said. The audience sees how frustrated he looks as he balls his fist, seeing the smug faces on Josh and Tiff then jerks his away from them. With a heavy hand, and some grunting, Tyson musters up the courage to throw out his last Pokeball...Sending out Shell. Immediately, Shell scurries to behind Blitz, looking more fearful when she sees how Tiff in her Mega form, quickly putting it all together in her head. "*is put right in front by Blitz* o .o...BIG SIS! Y-you cant be serious, right?! She's gonna eat me alive out there! TTOTT" Shell tells her, "That reminds me. Should I cook her with just salt, or is she fine without it in my fox stew?" Tiff (morbidly) joked, pretending to ponder, "YES?! She's really thinking about eating me! I dont wanna be eaten! I still haven't slept with anyone yet! TTMTT" Shell continued to whimper, "*slaps her fat ass, making her jump then does the same across her face* QUIT YA CRYIN'! YOU'S HELPING ME WIN THIS AND THAT'S FINAL! IMMA LEAVE YOUR BABY ASS IN THE DUST IF YOU GONNA JUST CRY ALL DAY!" Blitz yelled at her, "*sniffles* Y-y-yes, big sis...I'll..Imma try my best TT-TT" Shell complied, holding back her tears as much as possible, "(Gosh..This is beginning to be hard to watch) Alright Tiff. You look like you know what to do. Let's win this" Josh said to her. The intense pressure started to weigh on Ty's team more than before, with it now getting to the initially unshaken Delphox...Bringing her to do something that she didnt want to do. "...Stand back, shorty. *raises a hand and enflamed stick, casting them forward* (Imma take advantage for this tramp's Fighting Type now..) If this bitch wants to be tough as well...Maybe this'll be enough for her...!" Blitz said, "Whatever it is, make it cooount~ wo *starts rising off the ground [Psychic]* Oh? What's this now?" Tiff said in slight surprise, "This is me giving ya all I got...Dont blame me if I fry you alive" she said, continuing to float her all the way to the ceiling, stopping Macey in place with some separate concentration of Psychic applied to her, keeping her in place. Blitz gathered a dauntingly huge mass of heat in front of her, channeling alot of it from her stick, becoming 40 times her size, heating up the crowd in seconds, aiming it at Tiff, before shooting it up at her as an exploding wave of fiery destruction [Burn Blast]. "(Cmooon please work!)" Ty thought to himself, "*sees it coming my way, already feels feet burning* (! This..Is actually very bad!) *is caught in the middle of the searing wave as it burns all over my body, peeling at muscle fibers and crisping patches of fur* LOOOOPPUUUUUUUUUUUN!" Tiff's loud, painful cries could be heard from over 120ft in the air, shocking everyone that heard her. She shortly could be seen committing down to the ground, looking like a burning meteor, complete with a crater she made upon landing. "B-big sis! That was amazing! You did alot of damage to- *hears her pant and fall to her knees* Big sis! Please dont move! *sees her get kicked in the gut while Blitz bats her away with her stick* Sis no!" Shell reacts, subjecting to watching both fighters duke it out physically, landing even blows on each other. Their Trainers stared intensely, hoping that their respective Pokemon comes out victorious, and with a decisive headbutt, Blitz watches as Tiff falls in front of her, heavily breathing with her head and mouth streaming with blood. "Oh no, Tiff! (Ugh! We're so close! I'd never think there'd be a Delphox that was this tough, and she made such a good move that really weakened Tiff..) *sees her only opened eye start to shimmer* ! (Hypnosis?!) Macey! Quick, you have to use Return on his Delphox!" Josh urgently told her, "(Too late, kid..) *sees Shell jump in the way with 10 Light Screens up* (! What the...? She'd...Never do this..What's gotten into her...?)" Blitz thought to herself, "*does a flurry of fast ear-punches, with the first ones barely cracking the screens* LOOOOPUUUN! O ;;;;" Macey shouts with determination, busting through the screens one after the other in seconds, hitting both Pokemon at the same time, with Blitz taking a few Critical hits to the face and neck. "*falls on an arm* Uhk! How'd see..Get through so many?...Big Sis! *looks back at Blitz, who was collapsing onto her knees* BIG SIS!" Shell shouted out for her, "(I think she's out! Now then! If Macey can just-) *sees Shell grab her stick and Ty's mic* Huh? What's she-? *notices her ride on it, but blasts a burst of flame the other way, boosting her my way with her ass up* ! WHOA WHOA WAIT! NOOO-! /O/" Josh reacts, barely fast enough to put his hand out before getting an intial mouthful of Shell's big black ass, making him fall and smothers his face with it. This squeezed a huge GASP out of the crowd. I'll say! How dirty can you get?! The audience was hit with an awkward silence as they watched Josh getting some facesitting treatment, which things got worse, because that was when Shell broke the silence with something even more unsettling. "Attention everyone! I got something big to drop besides this bottom of mine! THIS Trainer! He's more shameful than you think! He should stop his Journey here, cuz he has actual SEX with his Pokemon! You heard me! He's into both of these Lopunny like that! Not only do I know after looking into his filthy mind, but I've seen it! LAST NIGHT EVEN! *hears them murmuring with concerned faces* Do you really want someone like this to be YOUR Pokemon Master?! See this? *brushes my ass across his face* Look at the lack of resistence. Either my ass is heavy or he's weak, but I know he likes it! Now he's gonna lose and walk away a loser UvU" Shell unveils. Tiff and Macey were close to crying, trying their best to hold in their hurt and guilt. "(I...I cant believe this..The last Pokemon I need to beat tells everyone...About THAT?! I-Is my Trainer career over? What do I even say to tha- )" Josh thought to himself, "It's my fault...*sees everyone look at me* I touched Shell...She was only a Fennekin...*drops to knees* I didnt mean to..I...I...Was so lonely...Im no hero...Im no hero...Im no hero...Im no hero..." everyone heard Tyson say as he kept repeating to himself with blank eyes full of tears...Whoa. "You aren't alone...I touched my Pichu.." someone from the audience said, "...I kissed my Scolipede...I was even caught! TToTT" a girl close to him admitted, with a few others doing the same, one after another. "*with limited view of one eye, sheds a tear, wincing* (Wow guys...I...All because they know what Im dealing with...That's really nice of them..)" Josh thought to himself, "(Grrrr! This somehow backfired on me! I didnt ask for some intervention session! Well whatever. Im still sitting on him so he doesnt give his last Lopu-)" Shell thought and plotted, before getting grabbed by Macey in great fatigue and slammed to the ground by her ears. "*sees her barely able to get up and sees Macey dragging her feet close to her" Hero...Time.. *sees Macey look back this way* Use...Heat Wave..Use Fire Stance...Use.." Ty was saying to himself, with his face aimed to the ceiling. "*stares at him while on my back*...(Im sorry, Ty..) Macey...Dizzy Punch" Josh told her, and with one last look back at Josh, she stood on top of Shell, then gave her big wallop of her ear from above, a squirt of blood jumping to her face. A lengthy pause hit the viewers at this moment. Half the audience left at this time, seeing the outcome of the battle. "WAY TO GO, J! YOU WOOON!" Cypress cheered, and a boom of celebratory cheers followed shortly afterwards, with some among them crying and hugging each other. "HUSH! *sees everyone stop; stands up, sluggishly walks over to Tyson; Waits for him to respond* (...Tch. I always knew you were a nasty bastard. Just like the rest of 'em) If you can hear me in there..*digs in his pocket* We still got a Gym to run. *walks over to Josh* Get your damn self up, kid. *sees Josh stand up* Listen...You got heart in ya. I know you do. You..Remind me of my previous Trainer...We broke up after a year..Then I found out he got himself killed...I wanted...To see about Ty too..If he was interested...Not only is he aint my type, but he made it clear from the start that he aint doing that with anyone in his team...Yet look at him. He somehow kept this a secret from me. Who knows how deep that memory was repressed..*touches Josh's cheek* Maybe...Just maybe if we met...I would've...yknow...You and me.." Blitz told him, "Blitz...Well...I could say that to this one girl I met on the way here..How crazy is that?" Josh said with a slight smile, "Heh..Maybe I should've looked into your head...I guess I was doin' ya a favor the whole time..*kisses his cheek* Well look...Ya deserve that..And this here too..The Kindle Badge" Blitz told him, "Yall hear that...*picks it up out of her hand and holds it up* I got me's a Kindle Badge! Alright! ^u^" Josh shouts in excitement. Cypress ran up the stairs, hugged Josh and held it up with him, sharing the moment happily while looking the best they can for the cameras. The moment rubbed off more and more off on Blitz as her smile looked genuine, and even felt happy for them. After all the healing was done, Josh and his friends left with 17500poke in his pocket. "*sees them go off into the horizon, sitting against the wall next to the Gym entrance* (Heheh. Didnt even notice me) I knew he'd win. Just like he did against me. Well..*stands up* It looks like I still gotta work my way up to beating Ty's team. I know I'll get there" Terry said to himself, walking off in the other direction.
Once Josh and Cypress got themselves a meal shortly afterwards with their team (spending 1900poke), they tackled the Zenith Tower that was outside the town, which they destroyed with ease thanks for Tiff's Mega form, stealing 3 Z-Balls in the process. They continued their travel to North Quintile Town, quickly finding out the road connecting to their next town with a Gym, West Quintile Town, was disconnect by 150 miles due to the destruction path, so they have to take the long way to get there, leading to a more welcoming place. Josh hatches an idea of having Tiff use her Mega form to get there in no time. Cypress reminds him it can only be in battle, but when Josh tries this time, it actually worked! She then single-handedly got both Trainers and her sis to the other side of the very long bridge, but the form ran short a moment after completing the task. "Wow, that was amazing, Tiff! I think you last a whole minute of the form there. And it was outside of battle!" Cypress noted, "I guess she got that comfortable as Mega Tiff. Might be cuz she had a pretty full stomach too. *looks behind, seeing the attraction lights for the City ahead* Ok! We're pretty much here! Let's get the tent set up and call it a day" Josh declared and they got the tent together. Thankfully the road had no Pokemon in sight. It gave them the peace of mind they needed. The sun was setting in the horizon and they watched while setting up a pairs of blankets as beds. Aaaaaaah, dontcha just love that type of setting with your best bro? It's the stuff that Boy-Love mangaka strive for! I would say that they may or may not have gay feelings for each other but this isn't that type of story. Anyways, this is where they start reflecting. As usual when on downtime.
"[Cypress] Ya think that you's have a chance if- Oop! ;"
"[Josh] Hahaha you were about to talk like her too! It's a bit contagious, aint it? ^u^"
"[Cypress] Yeah, quite so. Maybe that's how she really picked it up. ^ ^;"
"[Tiff] Whatcha mean? 'Course she'd pick up on summin' like that. UuU"
"[Josh] Let's not get Tiff started, Cy. What were you saying though?"
"[Cypress] Oh right. Do you think you'd really hit it off with her if you two met first?"
"[Josh] Why you ask? You...Saw me feel open with her, did you?"
"[Cypress] It's..A bit of a habit with you, J. I'd say it's more obvious this time."
"[Josh] Hmmm..*sees Tiff give an imposing glare* Aw dont be like that, Tiff. It's not like I was gonna go for her. But Cy, maybe if she was my only option I would. It'll be really hard though. She dealt with alot of pain there."
"[Cypress] Huh. I didnt think you'd say it like that. I thought you'd at least mention how she saw her old Trainer in you, and how weird that'd be."
"[Josh] Heh, I'd say that's you catching on faster than me. Yeah that'd be kinda...Problematic. I'd like to know how she got such a nasty tongue on her though. And how she speaks too."
"[Cypress] Speaking of how folks came to be, we didnt really find out about Shell's past like that."
"[Josh] Other than being touched, but I really dont think that'd make her so...What's the word? Opportunist?"
"[Cypress] I was gonna say really mean and big-headed but yeah she was quite a character herself. She even took alot of beatings too."
"[Macey] Maybe that her special ways of provibing herself to her Big Sish. ^ ^"
"[Josh] Heheh probably, Mace. Might've won if she wasnt like that. I say we should come back to know for sure...How he was defeated is still getting to me though..You said he had this Hero Time thing."
"[Cypress] Uh huh. My guess is that he goes into a special state to do some outside-the-box strategies...But it..Just didnt work..That was hard for me to see too."
"[Josh] Yep...Then the folks in the audience..I really do appreciate them coming out for me. Makes me think about what exactly I'd say if word spread around enough about my personal life...Like THAT."
"[Cypress] Well J...If you ask me, airing out a leader's dirty laundry like that doesnt get anywhere."
"[Josh] But what about the Champion? How am I any better? I mean I know I am but..."
"[Macey] (Josh...)"
"[Cypress] Hmm..I guess to the people, all they see is that you struggled your way to the top like he did. The best way at that point would be to beat him in a battle."
"[Josh] Then...What if the new Champ is just the best at battling and that's it?"
"[Cypress]...I see what you mean. It's sorta like what we said about Vrey before."
"[Josh] That's why...I gotta make this Region not so...Tore up by power...Might aint always right, yknow.."
"[Tiff] (Might aint always right...)"
"[Josh] I feel like Vrey learned that the hard way.."
"[Cypress] It got to just about everyone, huh?...I may wanna be a great Ranger like the J I knew back at HQ, but I wont use force to do so."
"[Josh] Just keep using that nog of your's and you'll make it happen, Cy. *sees him nod with a smile* Alright bud. Let's get some shut-eye."
"[Cypress] Maybe that girl will actually come around and find us when we wake up?"
"[Josh] Heh, yeah, when Eevees fly. G'night man"
"[Macey] N-night Jayesh- I mean Josh "
"[Josh] *giggles* You'll get it. 'Night Mace. 'Night Tiff" he told them before going to sleep himself, feeling like they all had a pretty full day despite it being barely pass 7:30pm. Im sure anyone would after experiencing such a big event, that was even broadcasted to who knows how many stations and channels. While they found the time to be more impactful than expected, there was one girl who wanted to undermine that time for her desires to be met. This time, to prevent what happened last time, Josh kept an eye open periodically. He did this a dozen times before sleeping. However it wasnt who he figured that wanted a turn at him. "Im...Im sorray, Jash /" he heard, "Hmm? M-mace? What the- *gets muffled by her hand* Mmmmph " Josh was trying to say, "*jerks him off with the other hand* Ssshhhh..I done wants to wake them up..*kisses his cheek* Relax..." Macey told him, making him breath slowly and his knees rubbed together. The moment she lifted her hand off of his mouth, it was smoothly replace with a warming kiss on his lips with her's, exchanging tongues in seconds. Her hand glides all over his chest as she yanks his joystick around, still pumping it. Minutes of this go by and he hears a slight whisper. He wanted to ask who it was but was too busy with being pleased so sensually. "You want...To do it...With Shell...At least once.." Macey whispered to him, "O-once wouldn't be...T-too bad, would it? -/-;" he replied, "I'll be Shell for you..I think Imma got a goodies impression of her" Tiff teased, "M-maybe..If you really wanna...-q-" Josh said, "*starts swirling my tongue around his tip* Big Sis will love this orel story...ewe" Tiff was saying, trying to get into character. She rose her ass in the air while kissing Josh's shaft, letting Macey continue to make out with him. His vision blurred here, and when he refocused, both girls licked all over his dick. "*jerks him, letting Macey lick him* You like my Big Sish, don't you? I bets you want to growvel and have her ass all over your face..Just like I dids \u/" Tiff was trying to do a naughty impression, "Y-yes..I would love that..-/-;" Josh agreed in heat, "Well how's this? *taps Mace's shoulder, making her bend over and spread her big asshole open to him* Cum fors her ten..Cum all over it like the bad Trainier you's are \u/" Tiff further acted, "Oh Shell yes...M-macey..I-I'll do it for both of you..Ghnnn..! /;;" Josh was grunting, turning into moans once Tiff lowered Macey's fat, steaming asshole on Josh's erected cock, having it bend a bit from the weight of it as he squinted harder. He envisioned Shell's ass for a moment in Macey's place before he climaxed and painted all over Macey's asshole to her pleasure, loving each and every drop of his semen spraying her back there. "There...That's our bad Trainer..Our naughty, sexy bad Trainer boy...-q-" Tiff said before crawling on him, shifting his fatigued cock around with her thighs chocking it, "*catches breath* I uh...T-think Im..*huffs* Good now, Tiff..Let the lil guy rest...-/-;;;;" he told her, "*giggles* If you says soooo~" Tiff complies before kissing him, shortly joined by Macey. His mind fades at this point in bliss and falls into slumber, ending his night this way. This activity only woke up Cy slightly, who couldnt help but blush at the thought of his team doing that for him, allowing him to sleep easier too.
Right outside the tent stood an unfamiliar team, and Josh's group only knew about two individuals in it. "Do you want to try and sleep with him? The night is somewhat young" one of her Pokemon asked her, "I dunno..It's...Kinda weird when he doesnt know Im about to try this.." their Trainer replied, who stepped closer, "I could pick up the released pheromones miles away from here. Should we tell her?" the other Pokemon quietly asked, "Shh, let's see what she'll find out" the initial Pokemon replied. The girl opened the tent, seeing Tiff laying on Josh, but she was inserted as she was moving her ass up and down on him discretely while spreading her legs apart, bringing a big blush to her face as she quickly closes the tent's opening shut. "You dont wanna try, lil Suzy?" asked the Salazzle, "I've...Let's just go through this city up here =/=;" she said, already feeling woozy and weak-kneed, "Im guessing she caught them in the act?" the Sneasler asked, "You didnt smell that? Maybe you should get checked out, hun" Crave told her, "I picked up that blush though. Im thinking it gave her a few interesting ideas" Amber replied, making Crave giggle. The three made their way into the place that's ahead, believing that the Daycare they were looking for is close by. Crave picked up Vrey's scent an hour ago and could find him in no time on her own now, but wanted to stay a bit longer due to enjoying the company. She knew her time was running short however, because Chasm picked up on her brain waves and was getting ready to tell Vreyian about it.
